Hello Edward Lucas here. Blackett is a fictional character who will feature in my book on cybersecurity which is out next year. I have created his wikipedia page to illustrate the way in which reputation can be created and destroyed. I would be grateful if it were not deleted though I realise that this is a rather unusual case.... ˜˜˜˜ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edwardlucas (talkcontribs) 08:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Slamdunk Delete: A fictional character from an unpublished book? Certainly by now the editor has to have understood that subjects have to demonstrate notability per WP:N as a prerequisite for an article, and that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sociology experiment. The book wouldn't be notable yet, never mind a character within it. Nha Trang 20:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well Jersey92, a speedy is a bit harsh, specially as tone could otherwise be addressed through editing... and many of the contributions from India suffer from the same flowery use of language as do their news articles. The issue is really as simple as not (yet) meeting WP:CORP, and if or when notability can be established a return of a properly sourced and neutrally worded article should not have the extra burden of being itself speedied as a recreation of something that had been speedied.

The first and third source has nothing to do with any club season article. Kingjeff (talk) 23:49, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They are surely significant media coverage of things that are part of the Lynx's season, and should be mentioned in the season's article. It's clear that these teams in mid-size cities are getting significant regional media coverage. Nfitz (talk) 14:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The first and third source has no bearing on the Toronto Lynx's 2013 season. They would be used in the main Toronto Lynx article. I hardly say that one regional newspaper for each team is good enough to establish notability. You are assuming that if one team from a mid–size market has a media outlet covering the team, then all will. If this is true, then prove it and show where we can find sources for these articles.

WP:BLP of a lawyer and musician, relying almost entirely on primary and unreliable sources with extremely little evidence of real media coverage which properly verifies that she would pass either WP:MUSICIAN or WP:LAWYER. Only two citations in the entire article, in fact, are to a source that would pass muster, and even those two are (1) a passing mention of her name in a "hottest downloads of the day" column and (2) a "what are you wearing?" fashion blurb — so even those fail to constitute substantive coverage. No prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can create a good and properly sourced article about her, but this version is a delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: When this article was nominated, WP:LAWYER redirected to Wikipedia:Notability (law)#Lawyers, a recently written draft proposal. The target of that redirect has since been changed. WP:LAWYERS is unaffected. As the author of that draft proposal, I think that I should say that it isn't intended to be completely exhaustive. James500 (talk) 12:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have added some more references to establish the notability of the subject. The sources it contains are enough for keeping the article. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 05:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. You added even more primary and unreliable sources — blogs and YouTube videos mostly, with the added bonus of a circular reference (#3) to a site that asserts Wikipedia as its reference (I hope I don't have to point out why that's not acceptable) — and failed to add even one new source that actually passes the reliable sourcing test.

DELETE - A pretty exhaustive look found no more citations that support notability. Remember - a delete today is not necessarily permanent, often it's a "not yet". But Wikipedia articles are not to be used to create notability but as information on subjects that are already notable. EBY (talk) 16:38, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: There's an avalanche of sources in the article, but look at them carefully (or at all, really), and they don't measure up. There are casual mentions, and blog posts, and quotes from the subject, but nothing by way of articles from substantive reliable sources discussing the subject in the "significant detail" the GNG requires. This still fails WP:BIO. Nha Trang 20:32, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1994–1996[edit]

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

This subject is a "best of" comilation album of songs by the Estonian rock band Smilers. Unfortunately, the album itself does not pass WP:NALBUMS (or GNG), which requires that there be independent reliable sources that discuss the album in reasonable detail. I have checked the usual sources and have not been able to locate any. The band is certainly notable, and many of the individual songs on the album may be notable, but it does not look as if the album itself is notable. An alternative to deletion would include a merger into the Smilers article. Blueboar (talk) 12:16, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - a quick Google Book check immediately showed that the period 1994-1996 for Smilers is covered in Enno Tammer 10 aastat uut Eesti Tänapäev, 2001 "Üheksakümnendate lõpus nautis suurimat tähelepanu Smilers, hinnatud kontsertartistid ... 1994.-1996. aastal algas Tallinnas aga tõeline ööklubide buum, avati Piraat (Pirital TOP-i hoones, eriti populaarne teismeliste hulgas), Hollywood ...". No reason to assume the period being notable in the band's career the album wasn't covered in other reliable Estonian music press sources which we don't have access to. Further compilation albums generally provide a useful service among album articles on en.wp. For bands which we don't document every single album (i.e. prior to 2005, or European/Asian/Latin bands) compilations sum up the bands' more notable activity. I am also not clear User:Blueboar why you have selected an Estonian album for AFD rather than the many British and American albums with less notability and sourcing than this one?

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Estonia-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 01:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again, this isn't about whether the Smilers are notable, but whether the album itself is notable, per WP:NALBUMS. A passing reference to the album, in a source that is primarily about the band does not establish notability of the album. What is needed are sources (an yes non-english sources will do) that talk in some depth about the album itself. I looked, but I could not find anything, but if someone else can, that would be wonderful. We should never assume sources exist... we need to know sources exist (and preferably use them in the article).
As to why I "chose" this album... I didn't, it chose me. I don't normally work on music related articles. I came across this one due to the RM about its title. When I realized that it did not have proper sourcing, and could not find sources to fix the problem... I decided to send it to AfD. As for the fact that there may be other articles that are in worse shape... well, "Other stuff shouldn't exist" is just as poor an argument as "Other stuff exists". Blueboar (talk) 12:06, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 01:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The album seems to fail WP:GNG. Articles about albums (and songs, and bands) that really have no clear indication of distinct notability should just be deleted (or merged into other articles, such as an article about the band in this case). One or two sources isn't really enough, and a passing mention really isn't enough. If we won't be able to produce and maintain a substantial high-quality article about a topic, we just shouldn't have a separate article about it. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:37, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the article is only three sentences long (plus a list of the song titles on the album). It doesn't provide any in-depth information about the album – it only says who the band was that produced it and says that the album is a collection of songs that had been previously released in Finland. There is no critique of the music, no mention of historical significance, no mention of chart performance, and no indication that anyone ever wrote any real commentary about the album. The body of the article is shorter than this comment. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:12, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article has more than just what is included in Timeline of Google Street View. It has paragraphs on the background of each country's views. Most of it is properly sourced, and the little info that is lacking sources can be sourced. It has grown since the last Afd, thereby nullifying the points made there. And it is placed in an organized fashion making it easier to understand for a reader concentrated in reading about this region. Sebwite (talk) 20:18, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You suggest that it perhaps a better idea to improve Timeline of Google Street View and this article in such a way that Timeline of Google Street View point to this article, as kind of split off article? The Banner talk 20:23, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failure to have significant coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. The article was created on 17 June 2006 by Mag66 a single-purpose account that only created and edited the two articles on Nigel Sixsmith and his studio/firm The Art Of Sound. No basis for notability is provided, and none has been found. Not to be confused with the Japanese drumming project; the Art of Sound music festival in Cleveland County, North Carolina; the DJ services company in Berks County, Pennsylvania; the audio installation company in Southern California; or any of the others that use this name. --Bejnar (talk) 05:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see the point of this article. (per WP:SALAT) The first University in Nigeria (UI) was founded in 1948. There are currently more than 150 universities in Nigeria. Since 1948 till 2014 there have been at least 1000 vice-chancellors in Nigeria. Wikipedia is not a directory for articles with irrelevant information. There is already an article for List of universities in Nigeria, I suggest we create a column for the current vice-chancellor on that page. If I need to know the past VC of a university then that information should be in a section of the university's wiki article and not on this page. I also searched for similar articles for other countries but found none. My fear is that this article will definitely become too large and clumsy. If the former VCs of UI (for example) are notable then the article List of University of Ibadan vice chancellors can be created but not grouping all schools together. The "Category:Vice chancellors in Nigeria" can be created as a substitute for this article. I will appreciate other opinions. Darreg (talk) 21:04, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep: per WP:STANDALONE. Article obviously meet WP:CSC and every entry in the list also meet WP:GNG. In addition, List of universities in Nigeria and List of vice chancellors in Nigeria are two different articles, each with its basic and unique informations. The fact that the nominator searched for similar article with no result of such article for other countries (based on his claim above) here on wikipedia is not an indication and implication that such cannot occur here. That is his own assumption and not a Wikipedia policy. I guess the nominator is comparing the above article with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Pay-TV Company in Nigeria, a Just-concluded discussion that he participated. going on for one of his recently created article. Finally, let me mention here that we have an article on List of biochemists and on Biochemist. Despite the fact that there are thousands of notable biochemist, we cannot delete Lists of Biochemists and create a section for list of biochemist under Biochemist. Perhaps the nominator of the above article will also suggest the deletion of List of Biochemist with creation of a section for list of Biochemist under Biochemist.

I am not the creator of the article. I only commented on the Afd then added a few references/additions to it. You really need to be careful with the claims you make on Wikipedia.

  • Keep An alphabetical list of this sort is potentially very useful;it has the advantage over a category that it can give names and universities. Consistent practice is that we keep both unless there's some special reason. The only thing wrong with this one is that it needs adding to. (There might also be a point of making it sortable) Certain, after a period of time, we might possibly want to divide it in some manner, possibly by century.

  • Keep-Paco Pedro Wikipedia page should not be deleted as it has 3 pages on the IMDB website. IMDB requires all films to be notable before being included on their site. It would seem that 'notability' has already been established. Note: this is a message that was posted on Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Paco_Pedro by 81.155.47.55 (talk · contribs), apparently intended for this discussion. I have transferred it here. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listings at IMDb does not establish notability in the eyes of Wikipedia. Per [[WP:NFILMS|our guidelines on film notability: To presume notability, reliable sources should have significant coverage. Examples of coverage insufficient to fully establish notability include newspaper listings of screening times and venues, "capsule reviews", plot summaries without critical commentary, or listings in comprehensive film guides such as Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, Time Out Film Guide, or the Internet Movie Database. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:49, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. IMDb has much lower requirements for inclusion, basically anyone who's worked in films, e.g. this piano player who subbed for Dooley Wilson in Casablanca ("Play it again, Elliot?"). Facebook doesn't do it either. No substantial media coverage as far as I can see. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:19, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete With Fire: Great, so this fictional character has fanboys. Well, good for them. He meets IMDB's criteria? Awesome, he can have a page there. He meets with YouTube's approval? Great, he can have videos there. On Wikipedia, he needs to meet Wikipedia's rules for notability. He doesn't. Done deal. (By the bye, the article was created by a now-blocked SPA.) Nha Trang 21:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP I am delighted to announce that a York based newspaper (http://www.yorkpress.co.uk)have recently decided to write an article on Paco Pedro 3- owing to the fact that the third film was shot in York, features many historic Yorkshire sites, York actors, and a leading York photographer. Perhaps this now meets with the "media coverage" that was requested earlier in this debate. Mark Wilson Smith (Director of Paco Pedro 3)81.155.47.5 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • No, the possibility that some time in the future a local paper may publish an article (there is no sign of one of the website) that says who-knows-what about the making of a film does not mean that the character that is the subject of this article is notable. You should not be creating WP:PROMO pages about your own projects in the first place. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:12, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

JOHN BREWER: I actually found out that they are getting a book published next year about this character. Add that to their newspaper article and whatever else they have said. So I would probably say just keep it in for now.

Oh, wow, another supposed piece of not-yet-existent coverage. Again, not something that establishes notability under Wikipedia guidelines. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:29, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Although it has not been made clear in the article, the subject is merely a fictional character in a book by A.W. Hill a.k.a. Andy Hill (Music Supervisor) (see here). The references added by the creator of the above articles, Ghostrider51, do not support the material he added. The character, the book, and the author/music supervisor all appear to fail the relevant notability guidelines due to lack of coverage in secondary sources independent of the subject.

  • Keep because it is indexed in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index and that is produced by Thomson Reuters, like the Social Sciences Citation Index, which is listed under WP:NJOURNALS criterion 1. I'm not completely sure though, so, @Randykitty:, could I ask what your opinion is as to whether the databases listed at this link satisty WP:NJOURNALS? Jinkinson talk to me 20:33, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sjeez, what a bad article. I have cleaned it up and removed unsourced/promotional stuff. However, Jinkinson is absolutely right: being abstracted and indexed in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index fully satisfies NJOURNALS. So does listing in Scopus. I have added references for this to the article. --Randykitty (talk) 21:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep per the sources provided by Cirt - In principle I really want to support coverage for alternative beauty pageants due to the institutionalised heteronormative sexism that means we get media attention for pretty girls in bikinis (and not always even then) But yes, there is very little here that isn't already covered in the parent article, plus a lack of reliable sourcing. Mabalu (talk) 15:03, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (for Mabalu) - Mabalu, I have a feeling like you need to justify you're not a homophobe; neither am I. Some users try to press us so that we will keep away from proposing deletion of their favourite articles or articles in their favourite areas. Never mind. If I have proposed the deletion of several articles on Turks I did not do it because I am anti-Turk or anything similar but certainly because the articles did not look notable or appropriate for WP. That is all. Just vote without worrying about those attitudes. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:32, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Wikipedia is not meant to be a directory, and other than some non-notable and unsourced info, that's what the article appears to be - a directory for listing and linking the subjects articles.

  • Delete both articles for lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The Haringey Box Cup has been around for six years now, but that appears to be an insufficient time for it to have had a significant impact on amateur boxing, at least as reported in secondary sources. Hence, I believe that it is WP:TOOSOON for an article in the Wikipedia. I found only a single passing mention in GoogleBooks where a James Cook had won a silver metal in the Haringey Box Cup. Otherwise in electronic sources I found only non-reliable sources, passing mention or purely local coverage such as here and here. --Bejnar (talk) 19:36, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Satisfies GNG. Recently reprinted (NBOOKS suggests this is an indicator of notability for non-contemporary books). James500 (talk) 10:13, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Two questions. First, how does this satisfy GNG? GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources", which I am currently not seeing. All I see are a few trivial mentions, so where is the "significant coverage"? Second, WP:NBOOKS lists being recently reprinted as one of four condition when considering non-contemporary books, the other three being whether the book has been widely cited or written about, the fame that the book enjoyed in the past and its place in the history of literature. Is satisfying only one of these sufficient, or are we to consider all four in conjunction (as suggested IMO by the "and" in the list instead of an "or") when applying NBOOKS? I ask because I don't see any indication that it meets those other three conditions. --FyzixFighter (talk) 14:31, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't any hard and fast criteria, the page suggests a "more common sense approach". —innotata 15:18, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And by that common sense approach, this book has not enjoyed "fame" or a "place in the history of literature". That a company runs copies of this public domain text (as it does to many other non-notable texts) is not an indicator of notability. czar  16:25, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Except that if there is coverage extending over hundreds of years, such as the periodical from 1908 and the various bibliographies in GBooks, it clearly has enjoyed fame and a place in the history of literature. If there were only contemporary sources you might have a point, but when something is still getting coverage 99 years later, you can infer that it has become part of history (and not just yesterday's news). James500 (talk) 16:47, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So [6] and [7] qualify as in-depth reviews? To me, one sentence mentioning the text is not an "in-depth review", leaving only a single review of arguable substance (two pages in a quarterly of 600+ pages). Is that sufficient to satisfy "significant coverage"? --FyzixFighter (talk) 15:36, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The review is four pages long and clearly amounts to significant coverage. James500 (talk) 16:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't mean to misrepresent. Let me clarify and show my math, the text of the 1810 review is 2+2*(1/2) pages with one page being 99% quoting of text from the book, which is where I got the count of 2 pages of actual review. I would still maintain that this is not a detailed review, but more like an grade school book report based on a hasty perusal of the text. It certainly is coverage, but not significant. --FyzixFighter (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unless I am mistaken, what the reviewer actually says is that a hasty perusal convinced him that his initial suspicions about the author's motives were misplaced. But on the next page of the review, the reviewer says that he has "perused the whole with some attention". So presumably he has read it carefully and given it careful thought. I think the length is fine. I would accept decent sized paragraphs, never mind whole pages. The canonical example of insignificant coverage is a single sentence. The guideline also refers to half a paragraph. We clearly have more than that. James500 (talk) 18:39, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The "half a paragraph" is about the WP article, not the amount of coverage in the ref: We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. Note that my argument has been that we have half a paragraph and no seeds for a whole article. Anyway, I bow out at this point. czar  19:08, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The WP article already has more than half a paragraph, and there is enough source material to write a lot more than that. James500 (talk) 14:07, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No substantive hits in Book Review Digest online or JSTOR (that's coverage or reviews) for either the author or the title (a bit more for "tyrant of the earth", though). I can try to hit up the bound BRD eventually. The uses in the article are all single-sentence mentions (apart from the one review) culled from a Google Books search. No sig cov in multiple reliable, secondary sources. No worthwhile redirect targets (unclear who the author is). Please ping me if more offline sources are uncovered. czar  16:19, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please read Wikipedia:Don't cite WP42 at AfD. Significant coverage refers to the totality of coverage. GNG doesn't actually require multiple sources, though we do have them in this case. Why would we want to delete a book published in 1809? Bearing in mind our problems with recentism (systematic bias). Don't you think it is unreasonable to nitpick over thew precise level of coverage in a case like this? We have at least one very detailed review and coverage extending over hundreds of years. James500 (talk) 16:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even with that definition of totality of coverage rather than multiple sources, there is no totality here. Hundreds of years and the best we can find is a single review and a handful of mentions? It doesn't pass any of our notability standards by any measure. (We also don't fight systemic bias by weakening established consensus but by looking harder for sources: I searched several academic databases.) NOT42 is sour grapes—I think it's much smarter to link to 42 than to directly link to the individual pages. Anyone who hasn't already read the pages is better served by the guidance of 42 than by the shell shock of a tome of policy. czar  17:02, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It also wasn't a notable book in its time. In a search of 50 ProQuest databases, there were eight hits from the early 1800s and they were almost all "lists of new publications" (no commentary). The journal hit was a letter/commentary on wondering who the author was. You can read it in HathiTrust. No hits in LexisNexis. This article topic is not notable. czar  17:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no established consensus that four pages of coverage is not significant. There is a need to rewrite GNG to stop people from arguing that no matter how much coverage there is it is not significant. The truth of the matter is that there is plenty of coverage. More than is actually necessary. The reason for systematic bias is that there was much less publishing going on in the distant past in the first place due to poverty and that a lot of sources have been destroyed. The only way to avoid that is to accept a reduced standard of coverage. "Virtual representation" cannot be taken for granted. There could be other reviews. GBook's search engine's OCR does not appear to be perfect. And it doesn't contain all books anyway (as of the last time I checked). So we can also invoke NRVE, if it comes down to that. James500 (talk) 17:44, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I read the sources (wasn't worth it, don't recommend it), and I disagree that the four-page article (which says little about the book) and a few passing mentions is both "plenty of coverage ... more than is actually necessary" or enough to "address the topic directly and in detail" (significant coverage). Can't discuss the rest without getting off-topic. czar  19:08, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The four page book review says an enormous amount about the book. The Australian source also seems to say quite a bit about the manuscript. All of this is direct and detailed. The remain sources are not passing mentions. They might be relatively brief, but their mention of this topic cannot be regarded as purely incidental. Inclusion in a select bibliography, for example, appears to be a deliberate recommendation. And lots of brief mentions can contribute to notability. Advising people not to look at the sources is not helpful. It is important that participants look at sources in order to subject the nomination to adequate scrutiny.

  • And I do agree with it, because it is based on sound reasoning and thorough consideration of the sources. Reyk YO! 10:21, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would I be correct in thinking that that argument is essentially that the amount of coverage isn't enough because it isn't? BKCRIT suggests that two reviews is enough for a modern book. But the overall number of book reviews published in 1809 must (for economic reasons that are not relevant to notability) have been less than half the overall number published in 2013. So common sense (which is what NBOOKS recommends) requires that we accept a single review for any book published before the date on which the overall number of reviews first exceeded half of what it is now (which must have been long after 1809). And of course, when you actually look at the definition of "subject" in NBOOKS, you'll notice that it is not obvious that it does exclude all of the other sources anyway.

  • Delete — If you look at the state of the article from this edit (after the creator of this article made his/her final edit to it), it is clearly evident that the original intent of this article was to "showcase" polmic discussions about this work found in anti-Mormon internet forums. That material was correctly removed by other editors in subsequent edits, which didn't leave much left. Just as that self-published internet forum material was not pertinent to an encyclopedia article, there is no real reason at this point for any WP article about this obscure work, given the dearth of reputable reliable sources that indicate any reasonable form of notability, notoriety, fame/infamy, influence, or really anything above the level of confirming it's existence. Asterisk*Splat 16:04, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The original intent of the WP article is irrelevant. We should not exclude a topic just because someone hijacked it and used it as a coatrack and vehicle for unreliable sources. That problem has already been dealt with by editing out the offending material. If need be, the page can be protected to prevent re-insertion. There are apparently reliable sources (from 1810 and 1908) providing critical appraisal that goes beyond confirmation of mere existence. And as for criticism directed at perceived lack of importance, this topic is not obviously more objectionable than a lot of the stuff we have on contemporary popular culture, especially the stuff we let in under WP:ATHLETE.

  • Weak keep In my experience, the citation record is marginal relative to our PROF C1 criteria, but "marginal" meaning "at the margin", neither below it or above. it. I don't see particularly painful promotionally issues in the existing revision, so I lean keep. --j⚛e deckertalk 03:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I have been unable to confirm this, but his description as a professor of strategy (and not the professor of strategy) would suggest he holds a personal chair and not an established chair. The latter at Oxford certainly would qualify him for notability per WP:NACADEMICS #5 (as the majority of established chairs in the UK are not actually named), but I'm not sure the former would. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:03, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only has ONE MAJOR role, and it's just in an anime. Has only done animes and video games. Fails WP:NACTOR MayVenn (talk) 02:45, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - no deletion rationale presented. The article lists 16 television roles, a handful of OVA roles and a couple of game roles. Any analysis of which might be considered "significant" and why the others are not? "Just in an anime" or "only done animes and video games" are not valid reasons for deletion. Stlwart111 03:29, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • They may be right, as I think her only starring role is in Love Live!…I have been worried this article would be nominated for deletion, and I wouldn't want it to be deleted. I think a main Love Live! role would be enough to establish notability, but other users won't buy that... However, I think her roles in The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat. and Kotoura-san should be considered significant, and make her meet WP:NACTOR. The rest of her anime roles are very minor; her role in Guided Fate Paradox might not count since she is credited as the Love Live! character. —innotata 03:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep as above. Perhaps the nominator, MayVenn, who is a new user, first edit 5 October 2014, should be forgiven for not understanding deletion practice and notability guidelines. However, based on this edit where MayVenn said Some User chose to write a ton of articles about people who went to his fancy school for rich people in England. None of them are notable, but because some "Administrators" and "Senior Editors" love the British Empire they think we have to "open the floodgates" to everybody who got some medal or are in some "Who's Who", ..., and this edit which said If even the British Empire-loving "Senior Ediotrs" who made most of these junk articles get kept think this should be deleted, that is a sign. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your fancy school and all the "famous" Imperialists who went there., this account seems to be a reincarnation of the Bristolbottom account which nominated 22 articles for deletion of Bedford Modern School alumni, only three of which were deleted, and most were keep will solid "keep" votes under clear guidelines. The MayVenn account is also similar to Bristolbottom in that they both immediately commenced AFD nominations as their initial edits. --Bejnar (talk) 05:09, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Any battalion or above military units can be presumed to be notable (WP:MILUNIT). Regimental histories aren't just publicity and there are a few more sources on the Swedish Wikipedia. The nominator seems to be trying to prove a point. —innotata 06:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not what MILUNIT says. A regiment is listed as one of the subjects that are "likely, but not certain, to be suitable for inclusion". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It talks about presumption earlier…anyway, there's ample coverage, and the only question is whether this should be merged. I don't think so, but I don't think an AfD is needed to discuss this, and I suggest this AfD be closed procedurally, since the nominator's intention was to disrupt. —innotata 19:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That Sweden has not been in war for a long tine is no reason for deletion. User Innotatal is right about WP:POINT. For that reason keeping the article is the best option.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge and redirect. As long as there is a whole book about the history of the regiment (ref 1) it appears to be likely notable and expandable. At best, it should merged with Artillery Regiment (2000) (or even merging both articles somewhere else could be in order), but it is reasonable we have a Bergslagen Artillery Regiment entry (as a redirect to a section or as a separate article). Cavarrone 15:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The connection between this regiment and the 2000 regiment is just the designation "A 9", and the 2000 regiment saw all the Swedish artillery regiments brought together. As both articles could easily be expanded, I'd prefer to see it remain separate. —innotata 16:30, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not a fan of the way the nomination was made but there are enough issues here that it is a concern that there are so many non-English sources. If what is being said is that there are no other English sources of the same validity and then we have about 100% non-English sources, it seems to indicate that the subject does not pass the threshold of our standard.

  • The nominator has an axe to grind over some of my contributions]], and they are seriously misstating what the references are. The "trade paper for birdwatchers" is Ibis, a prestigious journal of ornithology. There are 5 (reliable) sources, all of which give him significant coverage, so this article meets WP:GNG. —innotata 04:50, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some random Japanese model. Does not meet WP:GNG. Does not have any REAL sources and nothing in English. Makes no sense. Someone probably made this because they are some "Otaku" obsessed with her. MayVenn (talk) 02:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - complete lack of deletion rationale. You haven't explained why the sources aren't reliable and don't represent significant coverage of the subject. The fact that they aren't in English is irrelevant. Stlwart111 03:10, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Although this user has been opening AfDs for articles by me and (as here) my collaborator on Pile (voice actress) to make a point, this is one where they likely are right. There are no independent sources (although this is not obvious!). I doubt she's notable; I don't know Japanese or how to research and assess her notability. The article was created by a newbie whom I'm helping out, who is not familiar with all of our policies (note: I know from off-wiki communications that the article creator will be offline for some time). —innotata 04:41, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (probably): The sources don't amount to much, not because they are in Japanese, but because they are blogs, passing mentions, 4th place in some beauty contest sort of thing. Personally I don't see any harm in including obscure personalities (compared with the harm of junk articles like Korean influence on Japanese culture), but I don't see any real evidence of notability.

No need to apologise H. If we need to have a discussion about this then we should have a discussion about this. I just don't think it should be in this context, as retaliation for something else.

  • Delete. I checked the usual places in Japan for independent news on gravure idols--sports papers, entertainment sites, etc.--and could not find much other than a few mentions. Nothing significant. Her Japanese page was made by an SPA, and the English one is just a translation of that. Perhaps her only verifiable claim to fame is multiple appearances on a late-night variety show on a minor network [9], but unless we can find other RS or she appears on other shows in major roles, she doesn't pass WP:ENTERTAINER.

  • Delete: Nothing in the article indicates attained biogaphical notability, whether in working life, time on a local council or previous and prospective parliamentary candidature. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:ANYBIO. In current state the article also fails WP:BLP critieria, though an AfD is likely to conclude before a WP:BLPPROD. AllyD (talk) 06:35, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Things may or may not change between now and the election date — so it's best not to engage in speculation about his chances of winning or losing. Not that speculation would make a difference either way, per WP:CRYSTAL, but it has the potential to be misconstrued as a "deletion because of bias" argument instead of a "deletion because of policy" one.

  • Prospective Parliamentary Candidates are not eligible for articles on Wikipedia just for being PPCs — if you cannot properly demonstrate and source that they qualify for an article under a different inclusion guideline independently of their candidacy, then they have to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable enough.

  • This user clearly has some sort of axe to grind with me (!), and has been nominating a lot of clearly notable articles I created or had something to do with. This one deserves a more detailed reply, though. I'd expect people to argue for merging to William Robe (his father's article), but I won't agree with them. We usually consider an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography, from which this article was copied, to be evidence of notability—because the DNB editors decided that the person was notable enough to include by their fairly stringent standards. This officer only had a subarticle in his father's longer article, also ported into Wikipedia. However, this subarticle is pretty long; it's long enough to create the short Wikipedia article that exists, and would be too long and detailed at his father's article. Considering this length and its content, I think this means the DNB entry confers notability on him. In addition, he received the Army Gold Medal twice, in recognition of distinguished command at a level equivalent to battalion commander, which I would believe meets WP:SOLDIER, similarly to two DSOs. —innotata 03:24, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Redirect to Ingersoll Rand (and add it to the list of corporate subsidiaries). It's real, and I can source that. Interflex was purchased by Ingersoll Rand during a well-documented slate of mergers. I'm uncertain whether there's sufficient reliable sourcing to warrant a standalone article, but the worst case is that it can live happily in its corporate parent's.

It is a web site dedicated to the life and works of a single person, Hugh Schonfeld, and founded apparently by him and his wife/companion.
