Nominating article of my own creation. Please note that my intent is not to prove a point; rather it is so that either I or Spshu can be apprised finally of what does and does not constitute the notability of the article's subject. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 22:55, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article is up for deletions, since ATinySliver will not tolerate a Notability tag and falsely claims that I want it deleted.
Delete. Since, ATinySliver wants judgement now, instead of any time to find more sources. Article only has one significant source, Variety, twice once for Indie Right and again for Nelson Madison Films. Variety is primarily a media/entertainment news source while a major one is one of limited scope/interest. Most others are routine in coverage and possible unreliable (Amazon) or about the films. As such, Variety articles fail on WP:GNG as: "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." and WP:AUD indicates: "Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." So, a major source like AP, Reuters, ABC News or other network news, might by itself carry notability, Variety does not. Spshu (talk) 13:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Maybe I'm biased, since I seem to recall that I'm the one who added the Variety sources, but Variety is a solid source and pretty much the gold standard when it comes to film-related articles. Some of the other sources are a bit iffy, but there's enough coverage for me to err on the side of keep. It needs further cleanup, but this can easily be done during normal editing. I think the article is possibly padded with citations to vaguely-related topics, but it's not a crime to describe the co-founder's acting talents. However, it certainly falls short of WP:MASK or WP:BOMBARD. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:19, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think the sources provided are enough to establish notability, although as Ninja noted some of them are iffy (many are just blogs). If we keep the article, please "do us all a favor" and "edit" the article to "remove" all the "unnecessary quotation marks" in the text. That's really "not the way to write an encyclopedia". --MelanieN (talk) 08:02, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As discussion is minimal, and assuming I'm not lacking in proper etiquette, I'd keep as nom. Article has never not been in progress. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 00:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a local news anchor in a local television market, sourced exclusively to her profile on her own employer's website. This is not a claim of notability that gets a journalist into Wikipedia — the network's main national anchor certainly qualifies, but not every local anchor on a midsized market's local affiliate — and her own station's website is a primary source that cannot contribute to getting her over the inclusion bar.

Doesn't appear to pass GNG. While a bullpen catcher would most likely be notable without issue, a second-stringer is a stretch, especially when I can't find third-party sources. Wizardman 21:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep.. The sources I've seen list him as the teams "bullpen catcher" for the World Series teams... don't know where this "second stringer" stuff comes from... but a bullpen catcher is part of the coaching staff and thus notable.Spanneraol (talk) 21:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A bullpen catcher isn't part of a team's coaching staff. Teams are limited to seven coaches, and bullpen catchers aren't counted. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 18:26, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Most teams include the bullpen catcher under the coaching staff list on their websites. They often have may more than seven coaches with the proliferation of "assistant" pitching and hitting coaches.Spanneraol (talk) 18:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Assistant hitting and/or pitching coaches count against the seven-coach limit. Just because teams list bullpen catchers on the roster doesn't mean they're coaches. Teams mostly do it to avoid confusion ("Hey, who is #79 in the bullpen wearing catcher's gear?"). - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 01:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, each of those pages should be deleted, and bullpen catchers should be deleted from the roster templates. Not sure who decided that bullpen catchers were notable or counted as "coaches," but they were incorrect. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 01:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The team websites all list them as coaches and that is the official source for those roster templates.Spanneraol (talk) 02:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, the team web sites list them as bullpen catchers. A bullpen coach is a coach; a bullpen catcher is not a coach. Bullpen catchers wear a uniform during games, so teams list them on the roster in order to avoid confusion [see my comment above], but in no way does that make them coaches or confer notability on them. Under MLB's rules, they are NOT coaches in any sense of the word. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 03:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They are on the coaching staff page of the team website, not on a generic roster page.Spanneraol (talk) 12:23, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is one place where we need to deviate from MLB.com's roster page. As far as I can tell, bullpen catchers are grouped in that way only because they're uniformed personnel. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've explained two or three times why they're listed on the roster. I've seen minor league teams list batboys on the roster, for the same reason, but that doesn't make them coaches. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 17:12, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She could potentially qualify to keep a substantive and properly sourced article — but if all you can do for content is four sentences that offer nothing of substance beyond "she was elected mayor in 2005 but then lost reelection in 2007", and all you can do for sourcing is smartvoter.org (a user-generated content site), then she hasn't cleared the bar.

Cannot find any sources giving this game the nickname "Cam-Back" or "Camback". As a regular season NCAA American football game, it received only WP:ROUTINE coverage. Does not pass WP:GNG as the article does not establish why the subject is notable. Great comeback, but does not warrant article on Wikipedia. X96lee15 (talk) 18:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1. WP:GNG: "significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article".
2. WP:NSPORTS/WP:SPORTSEVENT: "Regular season games in professional and college leagues are not inherently notable." Further, it provides that "a game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game, especially if the game received front page coverage outside of the local areas involved (e.g. Pacers–Pistons brawl, 2009 Republic of Ireland vs France football matches, or the Blood in the Water match)" may be suitable for a stand-alone article.
3. WP:ROUTINE: "Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc. may be better covered as part of another article, if at all."
4. WP:NOTNEWS: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."
5. WP:Notability (events)/WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: "Although notability is not temporary, meaning that coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established, a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable. Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article."

List of least expensive films[edit]

List of least expensive films (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Original research tag for going on five years now. List is ill-defined and, given the availability of reliable sources, meaningless as a superlative ("least"). The least expensive films would of course be a massive glut of student films, amateur-produced films, most filmmakers' early films, etc. (the bulk of films produced). Unfortunately, reliable sources for budgets exist for almost none of them. The only feasible way this list could be maintained is by using some sort of notability criteria (turning the list into "list of least expensive films with articles on Wikipedia" or "list of least expensive notable films", both of which are WP:TRIVIA). Also, one of the primary sources used is IMDB, which is of course not a reliable source. This was a declined PROD. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete lack of workable criteria makes this just silly: based on the intro section just about anything qualifies, it doesn't specifically exclude student films, shorts, commercials, Youtube videos, or even home movies.

I see no mention anywhere of what the incompatibility might be. Any reference for that? It remains listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses. Probably the difficulty is " Those who reproduce the work must attribute it in the manner specified by the author or licensor" (from Template:Cc-by-sa-4.0)/ This is likely to cause considerable confusion, as I suspect authors will pick this tag not realizing its different, and should be given the opportunity to correct it by relicensing.

My knowledge of Portuguese is almost non-existent but, with the help of Google Translate, I get the impression that the Portuguese Wikipedia article is distinctly over-promotional, and the list of references doesn't look inspiring. However, I am not in a position to judge them, and some at least might just support notability.

Article, created by a editor whose username closely corresponds to the name of a person mentioned in the article as a senior staffer in the company (hence conflict of interest), about a company with no properly sourced or substantiated evidence of encyclopedic notability. All of the sourcing here is to primary sources like the company's own website, its own self-penned profile on public relations databases and its own press releases, with not a shred of reliable source coverage anywhere in the references — and while the writing tone is relatively neutral, given that the article doesn't even really make a claim to passing WP:CORP it still ultimately functions as a promotional advertisement for the company rather than a proper encyclopedia article about it.

Fails to establish her personal notability. As far as I can tell, she is mostly known for the Revolution 60 mobile game she co-developed and the supposed death threats she recently received over GamerGate-related tweets. Don Cuan (talk) 12:44, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. The WP:VG/RS articles that mention her are primarily about Giant Spacekat or Revolution 60. There are a variety of worthwhile mentions that cite her on her authority as a game designer: [3][4][5] and at least one related to sexism in the industry: [6]. The CNET source used in the article is more about the game or the company than about her. (This said, the game has enough reviews from reliable sources to warrant its own article.) I'm putting this here now in advance of what will inevitably be a shitstorm proxy war (note to those new to Wikipedia, canvassing is not allowed, articles require significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources (?), and the result will be based on consensus, not counting !votes): the article topic has demonstrated notability through significant coverage as an industry figure, even though Wu does not have any articles (from secondary, vetted sources) dedicated to her career. Giant Spacekat (the company) is synonymous with Wu (sometimes with her name in place of the company), but should redirect to her article as she has vastly more coverage than the company as an entity. If the series of mentions of her work is considered too weak, the only other feasible option would be redirecting her article to Revolution 60, but even that would be to discount all the mentions of her as an industry figure, including the recent, full articles (from reliable, secondary, independent sources) about the threats mentioned in the nomination. czar  14:47, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • All the links you provided only cover her tangentially. She is mentioned as part of a panel, as well as among about a dozen of other game developers, designers etc. in the Gamasutra article. (While I know that other stuff doesn't exist isn't a deletion argument in itself, I might add that only one of them has an article himself.) Similar for the Polygon article on checkpoints. I simply don't see her individual notability outside of that one, recent event that probably also motivated starting the article. For which most of the sources I've read so far seem to be little more than a digest of her own Twitter posts.
I do agree that Revolution 60 potentially warrants an article. But unless this is the only major game Miss Wu is going to make, we shouldn't use her name as a redirect to it.Don Cuan (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think I made it clear that almost all of the links are mentions and not in-depth articles. (Then I made a case for why Wu nonetheless had sigcov as an industry reference if not for the depth of articles about her.) The rest is interpretation. I've written about indie games for several months here now—it's totally normal to redirect a creator's name to their creation, especially if it's a worthwhile search term. Due to this alone, this discussion would have been better off on the article's talk page since deletion isn't actually on the table. czar  01:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you did make that clear they are not in-depth. But I disputed that these articles constitute significant coverage of her, because frankly… they simply don't. They are little more than trivial mentions. You can't just deduce that she is an important industry figure because two articles used a few quotes from her. And if I hadn't taken this here, it wouldn't have gotten the same attention. Don Cuan (talk) 04:19, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as creator, for essentially the reasons evoked by Czar above. Wu is the focus of much gaming press coverage because of the recent threats she received, and I figured a brief article would be interesting to readers because of that. While the threats alone would be a case of WP:BLP1E, the coverage she (and her company, which are to a degree interchangeable, as well as her game) received previously make her (together with her company and game) meet our inclusion requirements (WP:N). Like Czar, I believe that an article about her as a person provides the best scope for coverage of her game and company as well, at least initially until somebody writes an article about the game, which has probably enough coverage for an article of its own as well.  Sandstein  18:03, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. For much of what Czar has to say. It appears that she is also notable for being a frequent contributor of articles on feminism and gaming. This could be a single event topic, but that doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. What concerns me the most is that the article was nominated for deletion within a day of being created. There was no talk discussion and the article doesn't qualify for a speedy deletion. Edit Ferret (talk) 21:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the time being - I'd redirect the article to Revolution 60 as soon as the game article exists. Instead of an article on a notable work, we get what amounts to another Gamergate NOTNEWS BLP1E distraction. - hahnchen 01:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because there's no point in delaying the inevitable. Technically, BLP1E does not apply since she appears to be extremely self-promotional for someone who is supposed to be in hiding. It only applies to low-profile individuals who aren't rushing to get their faces in front of as many cameras as possible.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 07:53, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can see giving her extensive mention in the Gamergate controversy article, but that's hardly "delaying the inevitable" unless we're going to start covering others involved in the whole fracas.--ip.address.conflict (talk) 21:55, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - she's gotten lots of media coverage, as noted above. Disclosure: I met her husband, Frank Wu, and got his autograph, at a con in Boston. Bearian (talk) 16:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but as written it reads too much like a resume and self-promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.215.211.130 (talk) 22:33, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article in its current form was largely written by Elonka, who I'm reasonably certain is not Brianna Wu. Feel free to suggest improvements on the talk page.  Sandstein  05:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Correct, I am not Brianna Wu, and to my knowledge have never met her. Any and all established Wikipedia editors are welcome to edit the article, too. For newer editors who may be prevented from editing the article at the moment, constructive suggestions for specific improvements to the article are welcome, and as Sandstein mentioned, the best place to post them is at Talk:Brianna Wu. --Elonka 13:00, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I guess I'm going against the trend, but I'm going to have to go with one event here. Looking through the sources, of the significant ones almost all are about her in relation to the death threats through GamerGate. (One predates the death threats, but is still related to sexual harassment and GamerGate). Most of the sources aren't reliable, or are predominately about the company she cofounded or the game they developed - perhaps enough to warrant an article on the company, but I'm not convinced that there's enough to warrant an article about her. - Bilby (talk) 08:20, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - Most of the best sources seem related to GamerGate, but there look to be sufficient coverage about her and her other work to keep. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Cited sources suffice to meet WP:GNG and skate by WP:BLP1E. —chaos5023 (talk) 20:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This has nothing to do with the article and is simply an attack against the subject of the page. I notice the GamerGate page also includes mention of their association with misogyny and anti-feminism, yet no attempts have been made to delete it. This conversation never should have begun. Tpstigers (talk) 21:10, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No germane arguments have been made for deletion of this article. It meets all community requirements for notability and biographies of living persons. --Locriani (talk) 21:43, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. The nominator fails to advance arguments for deleting the article, and in fact sets out why she is notable. (If she wasn't before the recent harassment incidents, which is debatable, she certainly is now.) Robofish (talk) 00:58, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - We've had articles deleted of people who have done more, and the article feels more like a hagiograph than a standard Wiki entry. As Bilby says, there's more than enough to discuss the company, with her entry redirected to that, but unless she's been at multiple companies putting multiple games in, I'll have to say no. The death threats may be tragic, but if that's the sole validator, we'd probably use up the world's bandwidth on everyone who ever met that description.--ip.address.conflict (talk) 21:52, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bundling these very similar pages on same non-notable pageant for deletion. The parent page, Miss Intercontinental is currently up for deletion discussion, and these related pages are essentially offshoots/forms/etc on the same topic.

Knowledge should be free!!!! There are dozens of books, manuals, and websites that make you pay for the PANCE BLUEPRINT content. All I have done in making this article is reproduce the content area topics and link them to the already existing wiki articles. As far as including useful links: it's important to use actual questions. So I've given the reader some knowledge about where to find them. As far as linking to one YouTube channel (that was in the reference section, and the channel is strictly educational.). it really doesn't have anything to do with the article. And I challenge anyone to identify an S2 split from an Opening Snap without hearing the difference. Something that PA's need to do, and can't learn from this article. Maybe another article would be more appropriate for that content since it doesn't directly relate to the exams. But for now, I'll leave it as a subsection. To repeat, this is just the PANCE BLUEPRINT with links to the actual content. This is knowledge that thousands of PA's each spend hundreds of dollars every year to acquire. Just check Amazon for all the books available. It should be free! We already spend enough on school. It should also be open sourced! [[[UWPA2013]]]

A model/actress that basically falls under too soon. As for the reality show part-not sure how to handle that part. (I've seen people up for AFD for stuff like American Idol though even so yeah) Wgolf (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Clearly notable actress with two substantive roles under her belt, in The Xpose and Bigg Boss, passing the WP:ACTOR test, plus she was a calendar model, and there are numerous reliable sources suggesting she easily meets the WP:GNG such as here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:32, 27 September 2014 (UTC) Another thing: check out the huge pageview tallies; of course pageview counts is not a formal reason for keeping but in my view exposure this huge rarely correlates with deletion.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:59, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • we only count coverage in reliable sources and bollywoodlife is not one, and we only consider significant coverage about the subject, not passing mentions in warmed over promotional PR releases for programme/manufactured promotional "scandal" articles.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:11, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bollywoodlife is a reliable source for articles about Indian movie stars and such, which is why it has been referenced hundreds of times in Wikipedia.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:01, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a celebrity gossip site with no reputation for fact checking accuracy or editorial oversight. Why has it been used in far too many articles? Because people think that any link is suitable as a source and no one has bothered to clean it up yet. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:12, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as an article that is intended to create notability. She's had a role in a Bollywood movie (with this article claiming that she starred in it, and the article about the movie saying it was a supporting role, that got killed off early in the film). Apart from that her only claim to fame is to have been quickly evicted from Bigg Boss 8, the Indian copy of Big Brother, with most of the article telling us some juicy gossips about what happened before she entered the show, and reactions in the press after she was evicted (since she was allowed to remain in the house only for a very short time I guess there wasn't much to report from the house), with some of the gossips sourced to a gossip site on the 'Net. And, last but not least, she has a sister who is a model. Which, since WP:GNG requires in-depth coverage in multiple third-party sources and WP:NACTOR requires "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions", means total fail when it comes to notability. Thomas.W talk 17:12, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Just noting that Thomas.W tried to remove sources during the deletion discussion, clearly reliable ones such as India Today and Hindustan Times. The claim that Wikipedia is creating her notability is laughably dubious; Raut has arrived as a major Bollywood presence, like it or not.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:12, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I told you on my talk page I was reverting a block evading troll, and the material I reverted was WP:Fancruft, and fancruft is fancruft no matter what it's sourced to. But I guess I should thank you for telling me on my talk page that the article was up for deletion (which I didn't know since there's no way to tell from the diff I was reverting from), that comment is what brought me here. AfD-discussions aren't a vote, BTW, the fate of the article is decided by a discussion based on policy, so your superlatives and peacockery has very little impact on it. Thomas.W talk 20:27, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Appearance in the reality show Bigg Boss may or may not help her meet notability criterIa, but the role in the film Xpose does. Incidentally I have seen the film, and her role was a major role. She was one of the two main female characters. Also, Bigg Boss happens to be the most watched reality tv show in India, and heavily popular. In Bigg Boss, usually the participants are TV actors or wannabe movie actors etc (they are not entirely unknown people). So, participating in it also may be notable.--Dwaipayan (talk) 22:41, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dwaipayan about big boss-well American Idol is the biggest reality show in the US and people get tagged for that. Also the film role major or not does not always meet criteria. Wgolf (talk) 22:50, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another indication that Raut isn't a "wannabe movie actor" is getting 10,000 pageviews each day, another sign that her fame is not due to a Wikipedia article.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:49, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep She has claimed her success In india initially gaining success Kingfisher and modelling. Afer appearing on a movie with big banner in India she was introduced to industry and lately her appearance on Biggboss makes her eligible to have a wiki page. On google count 637,000. Daan0001 (talk) 11:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • see WP:GHITS - we only care about significant coverage of the subject by reliably published sources. Please specifically show where that has happened. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:59, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't be silly. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a gossip rag, so we don't add speculations and unsubstantiated rumours, which is what both TRPoD and I removed. Thomas.W talk 11:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to add that the source presented here by @Tomwsulcer: was not in the article when the material was removed, so his post here, criticising TRPoD and me for removing it, is grossly misleading. Thomas.W talk 11:56, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense. I added the line about Raut returning to the show with a reference here and this information has subsequently been undone twice by contributors arguing for deletion. Seems unfair to be both (1) arguing/voting for deletion and (2) removing referenced information at the same time.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:13, 11 October 2014 (UTC) And the Times of India is not a gossip rag printing "rumors"; fact is, Raut is returning to the show. Period.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:15, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense. Event the most reliable source is not always reliable. The "story" is merely part of the ginned up "controversy" that serves as free publicity for a show based on manufactured scandals . The content is not actually about Raut at all, other than as she is letting herself be used as a pawn in this promotional publicity stunt. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:44, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense squared. It is your original research that Raut is a "pawn" in a "ginned up" controversy as "free publicity"; simply put, Raut is returning to the show.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:53, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete She has just acted in one low grade Hindi movie and in a reality show. This fails WP:NACTOR. There are some strict notability guidelines to have Wikipedia articles for individuals. We cant have wikipedia articles for every actors in Hindi film industry. I also suggest to revisit the pages created for every contestants of Big Boss to keep the standard and quality of Wikipedia. Athachil (talk) 06:55, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree she fails the actor test which says has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions and she meets it with two roles in the The Xposé (a major Indian movie) plus the hit TV reality show Bigg Boss. Further, the NACTOR test says has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following which is confirmed by having over 200,000+ pageviews in 90 days. She clearly meets WP:GNG--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:01, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Actress who has appeared on multiple television shows in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s -- seems like enough to me. Famous? Perhaps not. More of a bit player. But notable, given that she's been a bit player for 20 years on major UK programs? Yeah, that's enough to me. Also appears in at least one source with some detail about her work: [7] TheOtherBob 04:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I should respond to the arguments put forward below. First, WP:NACTOR says that a person is notable if they have appeared in significant roles in multiple notable television series. This actor has appeared on 28 episodes of Casualty_(TV_series) and 33 episodes of Angels_(TV_series) -- both significant roles, and both notable television shows. That's sufficient to meet that criteria. As to WP:TOOSOON, we're talking about someone who was active in British television from 1982 to 2005. This isn't someone's buddy who's trying to break into the industry and might be famous someday... Moreover, my view is that this sort of deletion ultimately damages the project by injecting biases towards topics that Wikipedians like -- and deleting topics that Wikipedians don't find as interesting. Sure, British medical dramas aren't a hot topic on Wikipedia, and they aren't something we know well -- but if someone has an interest in British medical dramas, this actress is a significant part of that history. Why we would delete that type of information -- particularly under the apparently-mistaken belief that 1982-2005 is "too soon" -- is baffling to me. TheOtherBob 01:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Notable actor at the time she was most active – this at a time when (I'm ashamed to say) there were not too many Asian actors in good roles on British TV – and she was a serious player on Casualty (BBC 1 Saturday night prime time hospital drama) [8]. Gets a mention in the Encyclopaedia of TV [9], has a listing at the British Film Institute [10], a review in The Independent (national paper) for a play at The Royal Court theatre [11], and on the British Council website [12]. Her Cannes award – albeit ancient history – made New York magazine [13]. This certainly isn't WP:TOOSOON – more like an insufficiency of internet sources due to the era in which she was most active. I'm going to take a look at newspaper archives the old fashioned way as I'm sure there are more resources on her. She's notable enough for a stub at very least.

  • Keep. Appeared in a major, regular role in two very significant primetime British TV shows (including the world's longest-running emergency medical drama series, which is also still one of the most watched programmes on British TV). Looks notable enough to me. No justification at all for WP:TOOSOON, given she's fifty and those two major roles were in the past. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as failing WP:GNG. I am unconvinced that this is a valid concept. The article is unsourced and the only sources that I can find match the fall-back school concept as defined in the Wiktionary link. Certainly the words 'Safety School' appear in some organisations' titles eg Motorcycle Safety School but these are a subset of the topic (in this case motorcycle training) rather than being a subset of a safety school genre. Most importantly, because reliable sources do not appear to discuss 'safety school' as a generic type of organisation we are not able to write an adequately sourced page. The Whispering Wind (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete. This page is a plausible redirect to College application or College admissions in the United States, and is, therefore, not elligible for deletion (WP:R). This page was originally about the other type of safety school: see the first revision. There is likely to be mergeable content in the page history (WP:PRESERVE). If content has already been merged, the page history will have to be retained anyway for copyright attribution reasons (WP:CWW). James500 (talk) 05:46, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Education in the United States where the term is mentioned. James500 makes a fair point about the merit of a redirect. This was actually an early redirect target for this subject. There is nothing sourced so nothing is mergeable but I have added a source at the target. The Whispering Wind (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or merge to WCIA: A locally-visible person, without Wikipedia notability, then coming down with a fatal condition, does not make the subject cross into Wikipedia notability. To be fair: I haven't dug for more sources much. But the current article and sources are shallow on notability: fluff about how the "announcement went viral" (Doesn't everything these days?) and sourcing from a rewrite from Australia that repeatedly says "Chicago", which isn't even the same media market and generally can't receive this TV station. --Closeapple (talk) 22:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. I must commend, The article subject is notable and the article contains no inappropriate content. There haven been multiple accounts editing the article, but that does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a banned editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand)"; allowing the page to remain, with whatever Cumberbatch-related material the banned editor included now expunged, is the most appropriate solution. Playing whack-a-mole with the banned editor has reached the disruptive level -- for example, yesterday a long-term, productive editor, who happens to live in the same metro area as Fairyspit and apparently has a slight editing overlap with them, was blocked as a sock, with scores of their image uploads deleted and many other edits undone, with the blocking admin for the moment unavailable to address the issue; Lady Lotus has removed content from this article declaring the Boston Globe an unreliable source; and, not for the first time, LL has mass-nominated for G5 contributions that clearly predate the ban.

  • Delete While going through random biographies I noticed this article and felt that this page is not fit to be here. Revision as of 14:44, 27 September 2014 felt like a facebook profile with following wordings which I felt like misuse of Wikipedia to create publicity. "Her personal likes include Dancing, Music, Books, Movies, Shopping, Writing, Photography", "When she's not busy doing work, she loves to capture scenic locations with her camera. She also loves to re-read her favourite books, or simply, dance while listening to music on her iPod.", "she happens to like Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor."

Now the article is updated with lot of information and corrections. But I found few of them are baseless. Claim 1: "This she did with a group of girl instructors, with an aim to spread the knowledge of different dance forms among several people". But the reference page does not exist. Claim 2: "She has won dance reality shows like Boogie Woogie on Sony Entertainment Television". But the "Boogie Woogie (TV series)" page does not say her name as one of the winner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Athachil (talkcontribs) 08:04, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. As an essay, arguments on AIRCRASH may appear to not have a policy grounding, but AIRCRASH's "The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry" is a clear nod to WP:LASTING at WP:EVENT, which is a guideline and is entirely applicable here, lending keep arguments based on changes to maintenance procedures, etc., additional weight. Similarly, while I am personally sympathetic to "sources should bei in the article", by policy, with limited exceptions, delete arguments must be based on sources which exist, not sources which are present within the article. j⚛e deckertalk 18:27, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Even though no fatalities recorded, a major accident as the NTSB issued modification requests to be fitted to all the landing gear and brakes mechanisms of all the DC-10/MD-10/KC-10 aircraft flying affecting approximately 200 planes, all passenger, freighter, and refueller tankers. This accident required a full investigation and more than 15 recommendations were made meaning it is a major incident. Also, on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents page, there is a criteria for airlines accidents. The crash of Flight 630 meets all the criteria except human fatalities (eg. "The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry.", and "The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport") User:A340swazzen 10:42, 7 October 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by A340swazzen (talkcontribs)

Non really relevant. The NTSB report does not back the claim that this is a ' serious incident' and states "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of the accident were 1) the first officer’s failure to properly apply crosswind landing techniques to align the airplane with the runway centerline and to properly arrest the airplane’s descent rate (flare) before the airplane touched down; and 2) the captain’s failure to adequately monitor the first officer’s performance and command or initiate corrective action during the final approach and landing". Hardly notable.TheLongTone (talk) 11:11, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Completely relevant. The NTSB ordering modifications to antiskid mechanisms and air filler valve bore inspection procedures most certainly indicates "resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes" as WP:AIRCRASH stipulates. And a complete hull loss after a crash landing is definitely a serious incident. Demanding the exact words "serious incident" in an NTSB report is just a made up red herring that has nothing to do with WP:GNG or WP:AIRCRASH. --Oakshade (talk) 14:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not a red herring at all. The article says that the NTSB decribes it as a serious incident and this is an uncited statement. They also do no, so far as I can tell, say anything about this accident leading to design mods. Cites, please. The cite you give above does not explicitly link this incident to any design changes in the brakes.TheLongTone (talk) 14:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It also asserts that he is an author whose book sells several thousand a year - I think that would be more a claim that the book may meet WP:NBOOK rather than Austin meeting WP:AUTHOR.

Also, just to add, this seems like a bad faith nomination. You listed this at the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions? What does Mickey Goodwin have to do with martial arts? Just looking at the sources I provided on the page any editor can see Goodwin passes general notability, without even going to the WP:NBOX.

  • Delete Coverage is essentially due to his death. He fails to meet WP:NBOX--he never fought for a major title or was ranked in the top 10. Training a notable fighter does not make him notable (WP:NOTINHERITED and competing at an Olympic trial also doesn't show notability. Boxing is probably the original martial art so this is hardly a bad faith nomination.Mdtemp (talk) 19:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I'll accept the sources given as showing he was ranked in the top 10 and hence meets WP:NBOX. Otherwise I don't believe notability has been shown.Mdtemp (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Coverage is due to his death? There are books and sources from 1975 to 1995, far before 'his death'. The only really his death is covered is because he was a notable person. Which meets WP:GNG. There is no doubt that the article subject meets GNG. Dave Dial (talk) 22:45, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Let me also add, the AfD is incorrect. I never heard of WP:NBOX, but I see it was introduced in 2011 by an ordinary editor. So how is it even a guideline? Was there an RfC? WP:GNG is definitely a guideline. Also, it looks like Goodwin was ranked #5 in the WBA Middleweight division in 1981, and I bet there are many more sources. Editors here are casting delete votes and bringing the article to AfD without even checking the sources. I found the #5 ranking from the search at the top of this page. Definitely a bad faith nomination and delete vote. Dave Dial (talk) 23:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that you haven't heard of WP:NSPORTS, which is where NBOX is found, does not mean it has no merit. As far as rankings go I searched those of Ring magazine, which I view as superior to those of the biased, and sometimes corrupt, individual boxing organizations--and I didn't find him. I've already debunked the previous sources you gave and of the 5 sources in the article--3 were triggered by his death, 1 is an article saying he's been dropped from a local fight card, and one consists of a couple of passing mentions. None of which show he meets GNG. If there's been bad faith at this AfD it's been by you.Mdtemp (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One, you haven't 'debunked' anything. And you are still getting the facts wrong. NBOX is a made up 'guideline' that only has merit for those that devote their time to AfD of sporting people. It never went through the process to be accepted by the community as a guideline, and in fact was introduced in 2011 without any discussion. The discussion on the Talk page afterwards was by a limited amount of editors with no notice for other editors. So in fact, NBOX might as well not even exist. It doesn't mean anything other than perhaps an essay. Also, Goodwin wasn't 'dropped' from a fight, he pulled out of the Middleweight Title fight because he broke his hand. Common sense should tell anyone that fighting in a Title fight one would be ranked in the top 10. Not to mention the SEVERAL sources I've provided stating for a fact he was ranked in the top 5. So there is no question about it. The reason the sources on the article are mostly concerning his death is because those are the most recent articles and easiest to find. When I saw there was no article on Goodwin, I decided to put one on the project. I'm not an article writer, so did the best I could. But it should be obvious to anyone that even did a half-assed search of Goodwin that he is notable and easily passes WP:GNG. Easily. So I take it the nominated and your delete vote were made without even a half-assed search. So that equals obvious bad fail. Obvious. Dave Dial (talk) 20:15, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You would know half-assed since you obviously didn't read the article which says he was dropped from a "Super Show" fight in Detroit--it's not about his injury that prevented him from fighting Hagler. It also says he's never fought a ranked fighter so I have to wonder about the validity of those high rank claims. How do you get to be a top 5 fighter without ever fighting another ranked fighter? That's probably why he wasn't ranked by Ring magazine.Mdtemp (talk) 17:04, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh for fuck sakes, do you even read the articles, or are you purposely misrepresenting what they state? Goodwin was 'dropped' from a January 23rd Detroit 'super show' by his manager(Emanuel Steward) so he could train for the March 6th Hagler fight. And there is no question that Goodwin was ranked high by the WBA. I've provided several sources stating such. No question at all. There is something fishy going on here between you, the nominator of this AfD and some others. If you people want to continue to play the game, don't be surprised by a boomerang.

It's true that a lack of on-line references or a lack of English references are not a reasons to delete. However, "article needs work" can be used as a rationale to keep any unsourced article. How will we know which ones are notable? How will we know that the information is accurate? WP:UNSOURCED states "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material". At least a few minimum references should be found first, and then the article created. For example, when I made the article Toronto Light Opera Association, I didn't find any reviews on line. So, before creating the article I traveled to a city where there was a library with microfilm of the "Evening Telegram" newspaper (not indexed), and I found reviews and copied down the information. How long should an article remain unsourced? (Having said that, I concede that in this case the editors below are making an effort to find evidence of notability and may succeed where I failed.) —Anne Delong (talk) 04:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good for you that you chose to travel and find microfilm copies of what was not available to you online. As confirmed by a few reliable sources confirming its commercial re-airing decades later, my having a reasonable expectation that a 23 year old Malayalam film was written of in Malayalam sourcess does not also mean I am expected to learn Malayalam and then travel to India and then find hardcopy or microfilm sources for Indian newspapers not available online. I am not Indiana Jones (chuckle). Schmidt, Michael Q. 16:14, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Of course not, MichaelQSchmidt; sorry if I seemed to be implying that. My thinking was that this film would be of most interest to those who already speak the language and live in the area where it would likely be screened or broadcast, and that someone there might visit a local library for hardcopy. My point was more that an editor should look for at least some evidence that a topic is notable first, before choosing to create an article about it, leaving other editors who may be far away such as yourself to find the sources. —Anne Delong (talk) 02:02, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That someone created a poor article in March of 2011 is sad, and his being blocked for not understanding copyright policy is even sadder... as he is now not around to defend his efforts nor learn to improve his edits. But WP:NEGLECT or being a WP:STUB are not deletion rationals, and I already suggested on October 16 that we should encourage assistance from Malayalam-reading editors. Schmidt, Michael Q. 02:33, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Since you've taken the time to look this up, if the article is kept, maybe some mention of continued broadcast should be added to the article or at least to the talk page. The article has been here for several years already, though.—Anne Delong (talk) 03:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the sources I found showing it meeting WP:NF#Other evidence of notability #2 should be added through regular editing. Sad that it has sat unattended, but WP:NEGLECT is not a deletion rationale. Schmidt, Michael Q. 16:14, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edited by anyone? No. That would be Wikipedia. And even if IMDB uses some "user-submitted" information, users cannot edit that database. IMDB relies on its own editorial staff to vet submissions and add or not depending upon the results of their vetting processes. Those other sources might be investigated before simply declaring them the same as actual user-edited sites such as Wikipedia or Facebook.

Another sources are added where 1) Obituary of an actor who acted in the movie Makkal Mahathmyam from Mathrubhumi news portal, 2) clearly mentions the broadcast of movie on TV channel Asianet Movies.

  • Okay, so we can verify the film exists and that it's been shown on TV. We've got some directory entry stuff of somewhat questionable notability. I don't doubt that there is some better information out there on dead trees somewhere, but sources that we can't locate and verify from are as good as non-existent sources here. Yes, sources may exist. Go and find them, and then I'll even restore the article for you myself. But we shouldn't lower our verifiability standards for certain classes of article just because finding sources is hard. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:08, 23 October 2014 (UTC).[reply]

The Empire Pool was a sports venue that had a pool but also hosted a number of dry sports. Thus, boxing at the Empire Pool, ba-dum tsh! A drastic rewrite to discuss underwater fisticuffs as a comedic device in film may clear the water, but as is, we may have no choice but to pull the plug and drain it out.

It would be very possible to write a long, substantial and well-referenced article about the substantive reasons why campaigns are organized to boycott Chinese products — but that's not what this article, as written, is. Rather, it's just a stub which defines "boycott Chinese products" as a term, meaning a boycott of products that come from China (how enlightening and informative!), with unreferenced POV asides like "The main reason of boycotting is Chinese products have poor quality and fake." In this form, it doesn't even provide enough substance to escape being a simple WP:DICDEF — and for that matter, even if a keepable article were written about the topic, this is about a million miles away from being its correct title. I'd be happy to withdraw this if the article sees substantive improvement and a title change before closure, but if that can't happen promptly then it needs to be deleted per WP:NUKEANDPAVE, as we're much better off restarting from scratch than we are hanging onto it in this form.

  • Delete. I agree with the above, and it seems to be a very one-sided POV push. I'm sure some Chinese-made products "have poor quality and fake", but try telling that to all the Western producers who have their products made in China, like Apple for example.

    I've removed "The main reason of boycotting is Chinese products have poor quality and fake. Many products are dangerous and harmful to human health", as it is not given as the reason in any of the sources - they are all talking of boycotts for political reasons.

Keep. Reasons for opposing this deletion: 1. The subject is a known African author with three books published and of sufficient interest to an average African and Nigerian audience and discussed in reliable sources as indicated by cited references. 2. A google web search brings up about 32,600 results at the date of this entry contrary to the nominator's assertion. 3. Contrary to the nominator's assertion, Out of the 20 references cited, only one of these links to an article by the subject, others are from external sources including a BBC report, an AlJazeera report and an interview by Ebony Magazine. It is critical that an average African and world audience has access to critical information on modern contributors to African literature. --Redotec (talk) 15:28, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Shecrownlita (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. This subject of this article has written for a number of notable newspapers in Nigeria. However, he has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. The accolades he has garnered are not notable. The books he has written are not notable because they do not meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines to warrant a stand alone article. The amount of web search one gets doesn't translate to notability. Most of the webpages in the web search do not show notability. I suspect a case of sockpuppetry going on here. Redotec and GrimyMartin edited this discussion on the same day and relatively the same time period. I won't be suprised if they are confirmed as socks. Versace1608 (Talk) 17:37, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Versace1608: I'm a newbie, learning the ropes, be kind. I think the aspect of notability here should be about verifiability not popularity; while factoring the paucity of information on contemporary Nigerian writers. You concede that the subject of the article is verifiable as a contemporary Nigerian writer, but you are not satisfied with his popularity. If we should go by that test, then Wikipedia would have only two or three articles on contemporary writers from Nigeria. Proof here that the subject of this article is "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" is evidenced by his participation at the 2014 Ake Book Festival. Generally, I think a deletion of the article page is a very radical solution for an issue of popularity.--GrimyMartin (talk) 07:56, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
as an aside, I'm keen on improving the dozens of stubs on Nigerian writers Category:Nigerian_writer_stubs. Your assistance here is welcome.--GrimyMartin (talk) 08:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GrimyMartin: I didn't say anything about popularity. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG because he has not been discussed in reliable secondary sources. It is as simple as that. One's popularity doesn't make them notable on Wikipedia. Versace1608 (Talk) 11:14, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The accusation of sockpuppetry by User:Versace1608 is selectively biased as all discussions for and against this deletion have been made on the same day and relatively in the same time period. The other objections are based on User:Versace1608's private opinion on the value of the subject's literary worth and not on the facts. As such, the opinion is better inserted into the article page if facts support it. Mere personal opinions (such as those expressed above) of the subject's literary value are not adequate for a deletion. As a fact, the subject's most recent book was rated as a top 15 Nigerian book in 2013 by a major tv channel THE TOP I5 NIGERIAN BOOKS IN 2013. Furthermore, user User:Versace1608's statement that the subject has written for a number of newspapers is also factually incorrect. The subject runs a private blog which is syndicated among online media, More factually, he has been notably quoted in major newspapers in Nigeria: Letter to Wole Soyinka: Ayo Sogunro replies Sadiq Abacha - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/03/open-letter-wole-soyinka-ayo-sogunro-replies-sadiq-abacha/#sthash.Vw5TLKuK.dpuf; consistently interviewed by foreign media on Nigerian affairs #BringBackOurGirls: Nigeria's Outrage over Boko Haram; and a known advocate of sexual minority rights in Nigeria Accolades, rebuke trail anti-gay law and for which he has been attacked several times after his outspoken defence for the rights of gay Nigerians Nigeria Legislates Against Gay Marriage, Advocacy. I suspect the attempts to have his wikipedia entry deleted are a continuation of the attacks against his widely known pro-gay views in Nigeria, part of the internet "veil of silence" against Nigerian gay rights writers.--Redotec (talk) 22:58, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Shecrownlita: (aka Redotec) Please do not make that assumption. His views on sexuality has nothing to do with Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not biased in any way whatsoever. There are tons of LGBT related articles on Wikipedia. I don't want you to think that the subject's personal views on sexuality is the reason behind this article going through the AFD process. I applaud the subject for raising awareness and showing support for same sex equality in his native country. The reason why I believe this article should be deleted is because the subject simply has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. The subject has not been discussed in significant detail. Perhaps he may be notable in the near future, but as of right now, he isn't. I may be wrong about about you being a sockpuppet but until I am proven wrong, I stand by my initial intuition. Versace1608 (Talk) 01:11, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: none of the sources you found discusses the subject....However, this, this, and this are related to the subject, but they only discuss one of his works and not the author. It's a bit tricky as some of Ayo's works have received significant coverage. However, according to wiki, notability of works doesn't automatically make the author notable. this link contains one of the short biographies (about him) written on each of the guest writers who attended an event....this in no way establishes notability,....for the same reason we cannot say the other guests at the event, listed here are all notable....--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:25, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What we are here for is to discuss the article subject's notability. If a writer has their book(s) favourably reviewed in leading newspapers, it would seem that the writer is notable. The Union even calls him "one of Nigeria’s most creative youth". The Nation write "The combination of poetry and prose in narrative style shows that Sogunro is an author with deep understanding of the art of writing. ( )...serves as his own forte and style spell him out as a force to reckon with as a literary genius." Japheth J. Omojuwa, who is ranked 29th in the list of most influential black people on digital and social media alongside Barack Obama, Beyoncé, and Oprah Winfrey, apparently takes the trouble to write about Ayo Sogunro that "On Monday, March 31, 2014, controversial Nigerian essayist and writer, Ayo Sogunro will be reading in London, United Kingdom from his book, The Wonderful Life of Senator Boniface and other Sorry Tales at an event organized by the prestigious Royal African Society ("RAS")." I don't think non-notable writers are invited to read there? In this article about gay rights in Nigeria Project MUSE specifically names him as one of the notable people on this subject in Nigeria. The rest of the links show that his opinions apparently matter in Nigeria as it seems that they affect many people in such a way that they reflect on these views. If he was not notable, this wouldn't be the case. - Takeaway (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It still doesn't change the fact that the subject has only received mentions. No article explains him in detail.....Definition of "significant coverage" according to WP:GNG, clearly states: "...addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material". This is makes it clear that the subject of this article hasn't received significant coverage. The least that can be done for this subject is talk about him in LGBT rights in Nigeria. It presently isn't notable enough to warrant a stand alone page on wikipedia. Notability isn't inherited from notable works.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 18:21, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He is notable per WP:AUTHOR. - Takeaway (talk) 18:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Takeaway: He partially meets criteria 1 of WP:AUTHOR. I say partially because being cited by few people doesn't equate to "widely" as outline in criteria 1. As a matter of fact, the Wikipedia:Notability (people) article doesn't specifically state that meeting one requirement of WP:AUTHOR is sufficient for passing the said guideline. I don't think this is enough considering the fact that he doesn't meet WP:GNG. Just as Tubers pointed, being invited to participate at a book reading or hanging around notable writers doesn't establish notability on Wikipedia. Versace1608 (Talk) 19:25, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
plus, the book reading was for the book he authored for that matter.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Criteria 1 would be the case for his "I am corrupt because I am Nigerian" essay I think, which has been widely cited and/or criticised online and also in a few articles, which although not a true indication of WP notability, is inherent of his modus operandi, being very active in social media as a commentator on Nigerian culture and values. And I think he actually meets criteria 3 most of all: The person has created..( )..a significant or well-known work..( )..that has been the subject of..( )..independent periodical articles or reviews. having two of Nigeria's leading newspapers write about his book, and notable others regarding it as significant, isn't bad I think? Which leads to criteria 4c: he has won critical attention. And WP:AUTHOR is not to be seen as additional criteria to GNG, but as specific criteria for creative professionals. If they are notable per WP:AUTHOR, they are notable per GNG. In WP:Notability (people), of which WP:AUTHOR is a subsection, it actually states: People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Thebook reading was at a very prestigious institute (RAS). You don't just get invited there if you're a nobody. - Takeaway (talk) 19:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the book is well known! A well known book is a book like Half of a Yellow Sun or Harry Potter, not this; I don't even know the name. And it hasn't received MULTIPLE independent PERIODICAL articles or reviews...just FEW! critical attention? how many critics or scholars have analyzed this book, please? And Royal African Society (RAS) isn't "PRESTIGIOUS". It is infact hardly notable. And contrary to your belief, anybody can be a member, as it is clearly stated here. --Jamie Tubers (talk) 20:52, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't really know how many notable book review magazines/newspapers there are in Nigeria. Having two leading newspapers writing glowing reviews about a non-fiction book, which indeed is not a blockbuster book such as Harry Potter, sounds significant to me. It's like a notable art film, which also can not be put into the same category as, well, Harry Potter films. They have much smaller audiences, and do not rake in as much money if any. The criteria says significant or well-known. According to the two leading newspapers it is significant. That it is not well-known is a pity.
  • Yes indeed, anyone who is interested can become a member of the RAS which is a good thing. But not everyone is asked to speak there. Here is what the RAS says about itself: "The Royal African Society is Britain's prime Africa organisation. Now more than 100 years old, its in-depth, long-term knowledge of the continent and its peoples makes the Society the first stop for anyone wishing to know more.". This is who normally are invited to speak there: "We often get famous professors on stage for our meetings but they are not often joined by the scion of South Africa’s richest family, a rock star and the head of the British army." Here is the page mentioning the members of the council of the RAS with the Queen herself as patron, and in that capacity, kind of a member (they're not just a bunch of well-meaning amateurs and having the Queen herself as patron does make it quite prestigious as a British society). And here is what Ayo Sogundo did there (not just a book reading but he was also invited as a speaker on LGBT rights in Nigeria.
  • "Critical attention" means that critics have read it and given it attention. And the book reading at the RAS also counts as critical attention I think? - Takeaway (talk) 21:16, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Takeaway: He fails criteria 3 of WP:AUTHOR because the book he wrote is not significant or well known. Having two Nigerian newspapers write a short length review is not significant. Wikipedia is all about reliable sources and extensive courage. If you think his books are "significant", try creating articles about them and see the outcome. Being invited to speak at events is not enough to warrant a stand alone article. The fact of the matter is that the subject has not gained significant coverage in reliable sources. The sources currently cited in the article does not establish notability. Anyone who has not been discussed in significant detail through independent reliable sources shouldn't have a stand alone article on Wikipedia. It is as simple as that. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:21, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is that so? That glowing reviews in two leading newspapers in Nigeria of a Nigerian book do not make that book significant. Nor the author being called "a genius" and "one of Nigeria’s most creative youth". Should the New York Times have reviewed this Nigerian book perhaps? Where else would one need to see book reviews in Nigeria may I ask? To make this book and therefore the author notable? - Takeaway (talk) 22:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You need to stop saying "leading" newspapers. I can argue that of those three newspapers, only The Nation is credible. There's not much information about the editorial staff and publication history of the remaining two. They are not even listed in the List of newspapers in Nigeria article. There are tons of authors who have been called a "genius" or "one of the most creative youth in their country". Being praised is not enough to warrant a stand alone article. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, I was under the impression that "The Union" was a notable newspaper. I am not sure which is the third one you refer to. So what I did instead was look up what were actually popular media in Nigeria and I found this website with a top 20. I have no idea how they arrived at this top 20 but it is what I followed. starting at number 1. Vanguard (Nigeria): mentioned as "writer and critique Ayo Sogunro" 2. The Punch: Ayo Sogunro cited, Ayo Sogunro mentioned as lawyer, Ayo Sogunro cited 3. Sahara Reporters: Ayo Sogunro's open letter to Sadiq Abacha posted 5. Nigerian Tribune: Ayo Sogunro extensively quoted 6. The Nation (Nigeria): Ayo Sogunro mentioned as speaker 7. Thisday: Ayo Sogunro quoted 10. Naij: Open letter to Sadiq Abacha published 15. Channels TV: Channels Book Club interview with three writers, one of them Ayo Sogunro, on his book "The Wonderful Life Of Senator Boniface And Other Sorry Tales" 19. Online Nigeria News: Open letter to Sadiq Abacha published 20. Information Nigeria: Open letter to Sadiq Abacha published.
7 from the top 10 all mention Ayo Sogunro. And just one open letter of his gets published in several top 20 Nigerian news sites. And he's still not notable enough for a standalone article?
I still don't know which notable Nigerian literary review magazines his book needs to be reviewed in for you so that it is seen as notable.
In WP:Notability (people) it reads: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". It would seem that with the aforementioned, and the above-mentioned book reviews, and also being invited as a speaker at the RAS which normally invites "famous professors", and being regarded as an expert on the legalities of LGBT rights in Nigeria by Project MUSE, would seem sufficient to establish Ayo Sogunro's notability. - Takeaway (talk) 00:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The subject of this article is not notable. None of the sources you cited discusses him in detail. As stated earlier in this discussion, the "subject runs a private blog which is syndicated among online media." Just because his writings have been circulated in newspapers doesn't mean he is notable. This is the point you're failing to understand. There are tons of Nigerian writers whose writings are recycled among Nigerian newspapers. Does this mean that they are all notable? I have said this and continue to say this. The subject of this article is not notable. He has not been discussed in significant detail. Versace1608 (Talk) 01:03, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I actually forgot all about Redotec's mentioning of France 24 and Ebony (magazine) having Ayo Sogunro as an expert. As for having his open letter published in several top 20 media sites does really mean something. Many journalists distribute what they have written to different outlets. It is the outlets that choose on the basis of it being something newsworthy, and having a personal letter published so widely, means that several top 20 news outlets think that Ayo Sogunro's personal views on this matter are apparently notable. This one letter has also generated a huge amount of talk in Nigeria apparently, judging from the online buzz and mentions in less notable media outlets than the top 20 here. As for the top 20 I have above, the majority of the links are to media that talk about him, not articles that were written by him. I really find your opposition in the face of the overwhelming evidence that this man is notable per WP:Notability (people) a bit strange. I will quote from WP:Notability (people) once more: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". You must have your reasons to find him non-notable, and I have discovered that he is quite notable. There's much more to be found on him but as I wrote above, I have limited myself to the top 20 as mentioned in that list. - Takeaway (talk) 01:19, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • You still don't get it, do you? This subject is just not notable! The statement you quoted says "if the DEPTH of coverage in any given source is not SUBSTANTIAL......", this means that the multiple sources that would establish notability may not have SUBSTANTIAL DEPTH, but must still have some kinda DEPTH on the subject and not mentions...that's the reason the concluding part of the sentence (which you've always left out) says: "....;trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability". This means; even if there are multiple sources, trivial coverage still may not establish notability. I won't reply to you anymore.

  • Keep Numerous mentions of the subject in leading Nigerian newspapers — like the ones Takeaway has provided — and on some international news websites plus 2 - 3 quality reviews of his works indicates that the subject is notable and are enough to earn him a stand alone article. However all unsourced information in the BLP may be marked with the citations template or removed if they appear contentious.

WP:BLP, relying almost entirely on primary sources, of a person notable only as a political staffer and as a non-winning candidate for election to Parliament. These are not claims of notability that pass WP:NPOL, and the quality of sourcing doesn't grant him WP:GNG either — of the reference citations here, only #6 is actual coverage of him in a reliable source (#2 and #9 are technically reliable sources too, but he's the author of #2 and merely blurbed in #9), while everything else is to his profiles on the webpages of his employers, to campaign literature or to his own Facebook page.

  • Merge to Smosh (parent article). All WP:VG/RS custom Google search hits were for "Honest Games Trailers", which might be able to support its own article (though I wouldn't push it—just build it within the parent and only spin out if necessary). Other than winning the "Streamy", I couldn't find coverage of Smosh Games from news sources, so it makes sense to merge it into its closest article and build out summary style until more sourcing is available.

  • Redirect to Ummagumma. I'd figured that every Pink Floyd song would have sufficient analysis to pass WP:GNG, even the more obscure ones like this. However, I've just spent some time looking for sources, and apart from brief mentions that this was Wright's contribution to the album, nobody seems to have paid it much attention as the contributions from Gilmour and Waters. I don't think I could say in good conscience that this meets the WP:GNG, as much as I'd like it to. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:40, 22 October 2014 (UTC).[reply]
I'm quite happy with a redirect to Ummagumma, I'm just not sure what the avenue is to decide between keeping or redirecting something. Wikipedia:Proposed mergers is more for taking two existing articles and combining them somehow, where as here (per both Lankiveil's research and my own) there would be little to redirect as the song has never been discussed or covered by anyone in any depth and the (now-deceased) composer has never mentioned it other than to disown it.

Matériaux Cryptographiques - Tome 1, Les Trois R, "Le Songe de Poliphile" (June 1881), page 272
C’est plutôt une imitation qu’une traduction qui a dû servir, comme tous les ouvrages de ce genre, de formulaire d’initiation à quelque cénacle de savants et d’artistes, tel que celui que le grand imprimeur lyonnais Gryphe avait fondé sous le nom de Société Angélique, ce qui indique une société placée sous le patronage ultra-maçonnique de saint Gille, dont les adeptes avaient pris pour cimier une tête d’ange (chef angel). Étienne Dolet et Bonaventure Despériers, qui finirent tous deux si misérablement, appartenaient comme Rabelais à cette société si étrangement angélique. Where he says ... "such as the one founded by [[Sebastian Gryphius|Gryphius], the well-known printer from Lyon, which took as its name Société Angélique, was under the Masonic patronage of Saint Giles, and took as their chief symbol (crest) the head of an angel."
Matériaux Cryptographiques - Tome 1, Les Trois R, "Le Songe de Poliphile" (June 1881), page 290
Il y parle tantôt au nom de son frère, et tantôt au nom de ses frères, sans les nommer, ce qui semble indiquer que ces derniers ne sont pas des frères selon la nature, mais les adeptes d’une loge semblable à la Société Angélique dont Rabelais. Where he says ... "Sometimes he speaks from the point of view of his brother, and sometimes from the point of view of his brethern, without naming them, suggesting that they are not brothers by sanguinity, but are rather members of the same lodge of (or belong to) the Société Angélique of which Rabelais was a member.
See also the web pages Patrick Berlier – La Société Angélique – Documents and La Société Angélique - regards du pilat (both in French) for quotes of further remarks by Grasset d’Orcet, and a discussion of their meaning. It seems that the society was a group of scholars and writers with some masonic trappings, and functioned more as an idea clearing house than as a secret-society. It was secret only to the extent that the Ancien Régime feared and sometimes repressed the new ideas that were the stock in trade of the society. It was formed in Lyon during the "Lyon Renaissance". The deep conspiracy aspects do seem to be entirely the creation of Michel Lamy. The article should probably be renamed Société Angélique rather than the current name which is not that au courant. --Bejnar (talk) 19:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They're definitely going places - building up their brand - but I am not seeing that there's compelling evidence of notability beyond namechecks here and there at this point.

The sources may appear to be press releases, but when the article was written in other languages, some of the reviewers did not accept interviews of the CEO because they were in Youtube.

The eferences for the notability of this local radio announcer are essentially press releases; the award too is only local. DGG ( talk ) 19:01, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The references given for the notability reference newspapers, the site of the WAAMI awards - the local radio announcer is local and therefore wins (numerous) local awards and even presents at them - would the same not be considered true of a New York City award-winning radio announcer? With all due respect, is there a problem with the state of Western Australia awarding their own broadcasting awards to their own presenters and local broadcast award-winners being recognised? tokenskeptic ( talk ) 19:33 29 September 2014 (UTC)

how far down would you carry this? I think its well established that awards at less than the national level do not generally count for notability.

I disagree with the characterization of that source as "trivial"; it's a reasonably substantial article about the subject's background and career. The problem is that I couldn't find anything else so substantial in English, and my meager abilities in Filipino are not equal to the task of sifting through the dozens of news sources that mention him. He's a co-host of a national TV program in a country of 100 million, so additional sources might well exist if someone is able—and cares—to look. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
