Non-notable musical group: sources are mostly blogs or youtube links, those that are RS are only a brief mention of the group (trivial coverage). Fails WP:BAND. Fyddlestix (talk) 23:36, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for now - I'm not familiar with some of those websites but searches failed to find anything significant and notable aside from a cbc.ca bio (which lists some reviews from other websites). SwisterTwister talk 19:17, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, that particular part of CBC Music is a promotional section where bands whose music is streamable from the site are able to post their own self-penned marketing bios. So while there are certainly parts of CBC Music, i.e. the daily news feed, which count as reliable source coverage for our purposes, the artist bios fall under our restrictions on primary sources and self-published content. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Makes no claim that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC, and the sourcing is almost entirely to primary (the band's own Bandcamp page), bloggy (Coke Machine Glow, Grayowl Point) and unreliable (YouTube) sources. Only sources #2 (The Independent) and #6 (Exclaim!) can ever count a whit toward getting a band over GNG — but in this case The Independent reference covers them in an extremely insubstantial, namechecking-their-existence way, comprising a grand total of just 15 words about them, and Exclaim!, while longer than that, still doesn't say nearly enough about them to get them over the bar by itself. Nothing here remotely resembles what gets a band into Wikipedia — it's basically a marketing profile of a band that exists, not an encyclopedia article about a band whose existence is noteworthy. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if and when somebody can write a version which properly demonstrates and sources that they pass NMUSIC. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep a search for "mountain goat" "lake district" brings back several non-trivial sources [1], [2],[3], [4]. In particular, the company's winning of the bid to take over and re-open the main tourist centre in Windermere seems to have attracted local news quite a bit, making them more than just a mere bus operator, and I've used that to expand the article. However, if consensus is that's not enough, then Redirect to Lake district#Communications is a good second choice. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:27, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merely being Scientist A, B, C, D etc is not a criteria for a Biography on WP. Article not sourced. External links included such as IUSSTF website etc unrelated.

OK. As you can see there are no sources cited whatsoever to support the claims. External Link 2 (about papers) is dead. External link 3 about papers is also dead. External link 4 is unrelated. The last link go to this paper. I however did a quick search in pubmed and other sources using some combination of keys. Results from Europe Pubmed Central is this; and pubmed - this. Educationtemple (talk) 19:18, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like according to this [5] he has 99 publications (and 1265 citations!) and [6] lists him as working at INMAS. He looks like he usually uses the initials "B S Dwarakanath" or "Bilikere S Dwarakanath" or also "B.S.R. Dwarakanath". 203.202.246.35 (talk) 21:07, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
By the way 1265 citations are not a great number for 100 papers. This figures average 12 citation per paper. A single breakthrough research paper, if any may have several thousand citations. This itself suggest that the person has not a notable breakthrough contribution to justify a Bio on WP. Educationtemple (talk) 21:18, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think the section listing his awards and achievements, and the last section showing his public service should be verified before trying to remove the article. They're not at all trivial and I've not seen anything to suspect anything here is wrong, I've even checked 3-4 points. The awards he's won are numerous and stretch from 1987 to 2009. He's also a chairman of the Board of Studies (Biomedical Science, ref: [7]) at Sri Ramachandra University. If his position is not notable enough then his 6 prestiges must be, where one of them is a fellowship at the Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists (website: [8]). Also, according to WP:NACADEMIC#Specific criteria notes, it looks like he (mostly) satisfies 2. Here are some quotes:
Some lesser significant academic honors and awards that confer a high level of academic prestige also can be used to satisfy Criterion 2. Examples may include certain awards, honors and prizes of notable academic societies, of notable foundations and trusts (e.g., the Guggenheim Fellowship, Linguapax Prize), etc. Significant academic awards and honors can also be used to partially satisfy Criterion 1.
Also, the page says it's a guideline with these quotes:
The criteria above are sometimes summed up in an "Average Professor Test". Put simply: when judged against the average impact of a researcher in his or her field, does this researcher stand out as clearly more notable or more accomplished than others in the field?
Note that as this is a guideline and not a rule, exceptions may well exist. Some academics may not meet any of these criteria, but may still be notable for their academic work. It is important to note that it is very difficult to make clear requirements in terms of numbers of publications or their quality: the criteria, in practice, vary greatly by field. Also, this proposal sets the bar fairly low, which is natural: to a degree, academics live in the public arena, trying to influence others with their ideas. It is natural that successful ones should be considered notable.
Obviously he's accomplished much. Keep. 203.202.246.35 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just completed merging PyUnit into here, per a six month old suggestion, but it really shouldn't exist at all. As a piece of software, it has no more intrinsic significance than any of the other modules in the Python standard library. The original XUnit code is notable because it introduced some new ideas about testing, but this is just a straight-forwared translation of XUnit into another language. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:57, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, those are published books, but they're all "how to use Python" manuals. As such, they're pretty much obligated to go down the list of modules included in the standard library and write something about each one. Such routine and perfunctory coverage does not establish notability. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:17, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article listing items of web media. Per repeated deletions, some editors feel that linking to such media is inappropriate (see history and talk:). As such, this article becomes worthless and so the topic is evidently unworkable within the WP content model.

There is no point in having this article without linking to the content it refers to. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:29, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm not sure if this list of speakers is notable per WP:LISTN requirements that independent sources exist that establish such a list as notable. However, the inability to preserve the list as an external link directory is not a valid reason for deletion. This is especially true in that the article is supposed to be a list of speakers, not a list of speeches.- MrX 21:40, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep on the basis of WP:NGEO, as locations are generally kept. Book link above yields some hits, so assume an actual dig site ("archeological pond", I presume, means under water). Tourist-trap fluff text will have to go. Pax 07:19, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It pains me to say so. The article should have been speedily deleted on day one as a copyright violation. It only got worse as the author copied in (without attribution) irrelevant material from Somapura Mahavihara. Almost everything in the article was wrong, including the location. All that said, it is a notable historic tank (manmade pond or reservoir) as evidenced by the sources I've added to the article: A chapter in the encyclopedia Banglapedia, two scholarly books, and the announcement of its protection under the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act back when it was part of British India.

  • A municipal (city, town or county) archive is by all means a thing that can be mentioned in the main article on the city, town or county itself — but with the potential exception of a few very large cities, is rarely a topic that needs or can be reliably sourced enough to support its own standalone article.

  • Comment -- In UK most record offices have an article. Though Canadian history is shorter, I do not see why something similar should not apply there. At worst, the core of this article should be merged to the county article. The article has little real content, so that there should be little difficulty in adding a short archives section to the county article. Oppose plain redirect.

The article appears to present as fact a technique for using numerology to predict the scores of cricket matches in advance based on the dates on which they will occur. The topic appears to be a piece of original research and fundamentally unverifiable; all searches for the phrase "Prasant Maths" turn up no hits other than the WP article, and the only source listed on the article appears to be a self-published blog post. As such, the content seems to be unencyclopedic and unsuitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I am also nominating the following related page (by the same editor treating the same topic, also supported only by self-published sources):

  • Reply: The source is 'news site' which publish the contents independently in the name of original person. So, the reliable source condition is fulfilled,
As per wiki terms, six months are allowed for the development of articles. Both the articles are like stubs, no violation of wiki. An author can highlight and create multiple pages related with a methodology of the third person, no problem in it either.
I expect co-operation from all in the construction and development of both the pages, rather than destruction. Both are rich with latest knowledge based content, purely maths...nothing occult. I demand patience from the wiki team. Till 6 months [minimum], allow the pages to exist in happy mood...without any warning msgs etc.
Our team is working day and knight to collect the most accurate facts and links related with this new method. Thank you. SillyLilies (talk) 09:53, 29 April 2015 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by SillyLilies (talkcontribs) 09:51, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The articles linked on that "news site" were written by "Prasant," making them primary sources and unsuitable for verification of encyclopedic content. And, again, there are literally no hits for the phrase "Prasant Maths," leaving no realistic prospect that any verifiable sources will be found.
As for the "knowledge based content" of the articles, they explicitly promote a system of numerological divination using astrology and calendar dates to predict the future, presenting the methods as fact. At best, if this system of "predictions" were wide-spread and much commented-upon (by independent, reputable sources), then an article could be written documenting the beliefs as a social phenomenon like any other superstition. Notice, however, that the articles on e.g. dowsing or triskaidekaphobia do not advocate those beliefs, but merely document them. In this case, since there is no evidence of any reputable sources independent of "Prasant" saying anything about this "system," it will not be possible even to salvage these articles into a form more like those on other, established superstitions. -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 13:19, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply As already stated, our team is working towards finds more reliable sources. And there is no mention about numerology in both the articles. The method has been treated by the creator of these pages, i.e. me, as Maths. And my mind is finding sources in that direction.
One big question, you are saying 'Prasant Maths' is unseen on net, anywhere. Then, how did you land/come across specifically this page, amidst more than 1 lac newly created pages in past two months?SillyLilies (talk) 15:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one is saying that the topic is "unseen on net, anywhere" , SillyLilies, as that is an exceptionally low hurdle which has nothing to do with whether or not an article should exist on Wikipedia. We have articles about topics which have received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. I do not know where your "six months" comes from. You have one week to produce such sources, though that time may be extended if enough editors don't chime in. It is the immediate obligation of any editor advocating keeping the article to furnish the needed sources. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:06, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As for how we came across the article, we have volunteer teams of editors called "new page patrollers" who when appropriate, take action to nominate articles for deletion. We also have other volunteer editors (such as me) who work to review articles nominated for deletion. I have participated in thousands of such discussions, and argue to keep some articles, and delete others, based on my knowledge of our policies and guidelines. This is a routine maintenance function of this encyclopedia, and your article is receiving routine evaluation. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:15, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Original research that isn't backed up to any reliable sources. Also, frankly, a load of rubbish. Harrias talk 06:36, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exception to self published source I think news sites are exceptions to the self published source. Wiki has further stated this 'Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the self-published source requirement that they be published experts in the field...' Could this help my cause, gentlemen?
Another thing, when I checked the genuineness of the patrollers of my pages, I found that most of them seems to have been freshly created to harm my pages. I felt that you and few others have been appointed by an enemy of mine or any competitor of the person Prasant, am I wrong?
The phrase "self-published sources may be used as sources of information about themselves" indicates that an article written by Prasant could perhaps be used as a source for non-controversial information about Prasant, for use in an article about Prasant. Self-published sources are never acceptable to support controversial claims about a topic that the writer openly advocates (or opposes). And, no, no one here was appointed by an enemy of yours; as Cullen328 points out, you'll notice there are hundreds of other articles being evaluated alongside this one, as part of the content review process that keeps this encyclopedia working. -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 13:14, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disregarding any subject, serious offence Your patrolling team and new additions are abusing 'numerology' and 'maths methods'. This is a serious offense, nobody can treat any subject of knowledge as inferior, rubbish, unscientific etc. Lack of links doesn't mean the subject/content is bad. The contents of Prasant had been published in many local newspapers in many cities across India, but the only problem is getting its online version for links.SillyLilies (talk) 06:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I can't see anything to suggest that Prasant's observations have been published in the sort of source that would meet WP:NUMBER and there is nothing appearing when I searched at MathWorld, for example. Currently the article only has a single primary source- although appearing on a news site, the author is not an independent journalist. As such, I would agree with the analysis presented by Bryanrutherford0 that − in terms of how Wikipedia content is categorised − this is original research and unverifiable. Drchriswilliams (talk) 08:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When I explored your recommended site MathWorld, i found strange things there. Mathworld is carrying sponsored contents- numerology 26 articles, too much discussion on Christian community's favorite 'beast' number. Is that site scientific then?

And the site is carrying 'baseball' and '10 pins' maths topic, multiple times. Clearly, sponsored contents. How could a simple less wealthy mathematician Prasant could get his maths uploaded there?SillyLilies (talk) 07:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • No DeleteBut how could WP numbers criteria be met when the mathematician Prasant has developed maths methods superior than the professional mathematicians? They won't include his methods, or review it.. Ego problem. Wiki rules are quite unnatural. Why would Sachin copy or use the batting techniques of Dhoni? Or mention about it in his books n writings?

  • NotabIlity only for the Rich? When you search google news, you will find news injected by highly wealthy persons only. More than 100-500 news related with bollywood film. Check those articles, they are nothing less than promotional pamphlets. My question is- wiki demands notability, this comes from news articles, but the media covers news only related with rich persons, does that seriously mean the contents of an ordinary scientist/mathematician is not notable?

Wiki should not be too much mechanical, it should see through the tactics of these news sources. All the wiki articles related with bollywood films, to the count of 3000 above, are having reference links of such promotional nature. They are purely sponsored news articles. Wiki should reject such paid sources and accept the honest contents even though unsourced.SillyLilies (talk) 07:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are their real names, are they genuine living persons or just 'identities' created for this purpose? In this fashion, they might try to harm my future pages too.

The new link that's been added appears marginally more credible than the previous ones, but the publication seems to be an astrologers' trade magazine (however much it wishes to present itself as an academic journal), and the article is, like all the others, written by Prasant. What are the criteria for the inclusion of articles in this "journal"? What sort of peer review have its articles undergone? What sort of attempts are there to replicate the "research" published in this magazine?
In any case, what remains absent is any indication that reputable sources independent of Prasant are devoting significant coverage to these ideas. -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The TV station never mentions the MCTFT, the newspaper only mentions it in one sentence, and the UN link is a directory entry that uses text provided by the MCTFT. The first two aren't significant coverage, the third isn't independent. --Ahecht (TALK

The Bangor Daily News article has several paragraphs discussing MCTFT. As for the United Nations page, MCTFT didn't provide them any text. They copy/pasted the text themselves and we had nothing to do with it. Regardless, how is it that when a highly respected organization like the UN decides to use our words, they are suddenly not a reliable source. They are still choosing to discuss/advertise MCTFT. If President Obama got up in front of Congress and used our exact words to praise MCTFT, would he also not be a reliable source? Is there no common sense applied in these cases?Briansmith451 (talk) 14:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The UN is a "reliable" source, but if they are using text taken from the MCTFT website they are not an independent source. It's no different than when a respected news organization such as Forbes reprints a press release on their website. It's reliable, it's just not independent. It's not enough just to have reliable sources, notability needs to be shown through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. --Ahecht (TALK

So basically if I had been smarter and created this page with words that were different from what the U.N. listed (ie my own writing), this would all not be an issue because you would never have known that what they have on their page is my writing? Is this not true?Briansmith451 (talk) 15:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Briansmith451: No, not at all. The fact that the UN page is a directory entry prevents it from being significant coverage in a reliable source. If you look at WP:ORGDEPTH, you will see that "inclusion in lists of similar organizations" is not considered significant coverage (you will also see that "passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization", as in the Bangor article, doesn't count either).
But beyond that, the text on the UN page sounded as if it had been written by the organization (per WP:ORGIND, "works in which the ... organization ... talks about itself—whether published by the ... organization ... or re-printed by other people" are not considered independent) and a quick search of the text on the UN page showed that the same language appeared on the MCTFT website. I didn't even realize that you had written that text in the article as well.
Every article on Wikipedia must be about a notable subject, and in this case that means that it must pass the standards of WP:ORG or WP:GNG. This means that, among your references, you should have citations to significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. Having sources that are not independent is okay for making the article verifiable in some cases, which is also important, and you don't get any "points off" for having them in the article. However, this deletion discussion is centered around whether or not notability can be shown for this organization, which needs significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Before I declined your original draft I had gone through the steps at WP:BEFORE and looked for significant independent coverage of the organization itself, and it didn't seem that such coverage existed. --Ahecht (TALK

Fair enough. One more question. We have a reporter for ABC-7 news Tampa that's coming out to do training with us and US Marshals in mid-May (forcible entry & search/seizure stuff). She will be doing a newscast on her experience. She doesn't know us any more than you know us right now. How should I play this so that she can be considered an independent source. By previous explanations, as soon as she participates in the training, she's no longer an independent source since she will be "involved with us" as you once said.Briansmith451 (talk) 18:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Technical 13 didn't seem to think so. He wrote "Needs to be sources that aren't the topic and have not interacted directly with the source." It would really help if there were a list of concrete examples that are and aren't independent sources because several of you all have differing opinions. Briansmith451 (talk) 19:02, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think T13 was oversimplifying a little. The definition of an independent source is covered by WP:INDY. "Independent sources have editorial independence (advertisers do not dictate content) and no conflicts of interest (no potential for personal, financial, or political gain from the publication)." An organization planning an event with MCTFT has a conflict of interest, a reporter, as long as there's editorial independence, does not (T13 can correct me if I'm wrong here). I wouldn't expect that one news report to save the article, however, as per WP:ORGDEPTH "A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." --Ahecht (TALK

  • Keep. A program that has trained more than one million people is manifestly notable: [14]. The actual rubric of N is that GNG and SNG create presumptions of notability. They do not work in reverse. A topic that is clearly "worthy of notice" within the ordinary meaning of that expression is not excluded merely because it fails to satisfy GNG and the (hopelessly incomplete) SNG. In any event, the article cannot be deleted because the nature of the topic is such that adequate sources are likely to exist, perhaps offline (WP:NRVE). And deleting this article would, in view of the nature of the topic, violate WP:IAR, which is the main policy of the project. In any event, as the school is located at the campus of St. Petersburg College, Florida, it is a plausible redirect to that college and ineligible for deletion on grounds of notability (WP:R).

The article is quite poorly written, badly referenced and I don't think entirely accurate. I propose it instead redirects to the Defective Interfering RNA article, which covers the points in better detail and is essentially the same thing, although could itself do with some expanding. Having just covered this as part of my degree, this current page appears to serve little purpose when compared to the better written Defective Interfering RNA one. More generally, I think the concept needs to be re-written to include the idea of DI-DNAs - which also exist - not just DI-RNAs. rhodesj971 (talk) 11:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks like a merge case. Question for @Zecrah: Would the current title be a reasonable one for an expanded article covering both RNA and DNA? The result would be to a) merge the superior content currently in Defective Interfering RNA into this article and redirect its title here, b) edit the resulting article with new information about DNA examples, and c) create a new redirect from Defective interfering DNA to this article. Opabinia regalis (talk) 04:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh apologies, I didn't consider that this is more of a merge topic - bit new to this. Yes, I think that's a good idea. An article titled Defective interfering particle encompassing both RNA and DNA aspects, with redirects from both, would be a good. I'll try and do that and close this up when I have?

@Zecrah: No problem; merging is a possible outcome for a deletion discussion too. Your plan sounds good. Feel free to ping me if you need help with any of the closing or merging templates.

  • Delete or Redirect to Jonathon Green - The links above do not, to me, provide enough substantive coverage of the book. The first takes a quote from it but isn't about it, the second is not a review but a mention/musing/I don't know what (I certainly wouldn't say "substantive", to again use the word used in the notability guideline), and the third is a bit better but, for me, not enough to see notability here. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:22, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]


  • Thank you. Since this a short stub, a redirect to the author's article probably would be better than a stand-alone article. I have struck out my "keep" vote.

    I ask the closing admin not to delete the history so that the redirect can be easily undone if editors in the future find more sources about the subject that could be used to expand the article significantly.

Series of articles about tool-lending libraries in Canada, none making any substantive claim of notability per WP:ORG and all relying almost entirely on primary sourcing to the libraries' own websites — except for the occasional citation to census demographic data for the city that the library in question happens to be located in (which is not coverage of the libraries), the only reliable source anywhere in the entire set is a single article about the Sudbury library in the city's local community weekly (which would be acceptable as one source amid a diversity of sources, but is not widely distributed enough to confer WP:GNG by itself if it's the article's only source.) "Notable because it exists" is not a thing we do on Wikipedia — notability must be earned by meeting specific criteria that none of these claim to meet, and/or referencing the topic far better than this. (And for what it's worth, while I can't actually prove anything, something about the fact that these all happened at once is pinging my conflict of interest radar.) Delete.

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

This list is an unsalvageable anachronism. A significant propoprtion of people currently listed does not meet the inclusion criterion of having been "the most senior official with the role of heading the region in the southern Levant while it was titled Palestine or a variation thereof", with the reasons ranging from "not most senior" via "not an official" to "not titled Palestine". Besides, that criterion would make for a list of leaders of Palestine, not Palestinian leaders. All of that possibly could be fixed, but the basic problem cannot: This list presupposes a continuity of leadership from antiquity to modern times that simply does not exist.

  • Keep. I have added an improve tag. i think improving would be prefarable to deletion. This is a notable topic but I am not an expert on it.

Defining the topic precisely is more difficult than with most lists like this, but that doesn't mean it can't be made into a useful article.

  • Keep It's a reasonable topic and debates about content can be discussed through normal procedures (talk pages, etc). Lots of similar articles are also problematic and there's no consistency - List of British monarchs is restricted to post-1707 (which is rather restrictive considering Leir of Britain, English kings who defeated and claimed Scotland, etc); in contrast List of rulers of China includes mythical ancient rulers and even gods.

When all the original research is removed, there's three authors discussing completely different things, and barely using the term at that. Does not appear in any tertiary sources. Attempts to find academic sources only pulled up yet more authors having to define how they were using the term in a new and unique fashion (indicating that there is no unified concept of Creativism) while primarily focusing on something else entirely. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTDICT, still kinda WP:NOR. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:43, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this is a WP:DICDEF. The article is explicit in that the subject is a term and not a concept. In fact it's also explicit in stating it's a term that means different things to different authors. Best case scenario is WP:TNT. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:22, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the article contributes nothing useful, since it is only a collection of scattered attempts to define the word in different ways. Maybe one day a consensus will develop, but there is clearly none yet. The author followed up by posting many equally useless "see also" links to the article. --Blainster (talk) 23:54, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and that's the version with reduced WP:OR. The original version was "Creativism, not to be confused with creationism, is a term with various meanings, each of which however relates in some way to creative process." It never demonstrated that it was the same creative process, or that the distinct terms were in any way related beyond being homonyms. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. Now, on the surface this looks nice. But if you look at the refs in more details, it falls apart - this is a professional vanity bio, authored by the WP:SPA User:NomiStature. Refs either mention him in passing, or are promotional, likely self-written or paid-for PR pieces. The "Shorty Interview"? Self-written SNS-like entry. The nuviun profile looks great, but nuviun itself seems to be a PR company, or some other form of marketing entity. Ditto for Cox Blue. The "Reuters" piece is a traditional PR tool, note the " Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release." A bunch of other elinks sound "great" only to reveal short self-written profiles and such. I am not seeing any reliable, independent sources here, just a lot of PR hot air.

  • Delete. Nice find, this is a good one. If I ever need a puff bio written, I would totally hire this user. Manages to make spending a year as a lab tech after undergrad, having famous high school classmates, and once giving a talk at a TEDxNowheresville almost sound like actual achievements. (Cleverly, the publications list is misformatted to include the institution, but not the author list, which would reveal Nosta was never even first author.) There is absolutely nothing here that constitutes a serious claim to notability. Just a big pile of self-publication and self-promotion. Opabinia regalis (talk) 04:02, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - So much for my attempt at article creation. It sounds from the comments that I am some type of infiltrator who came to Wikipedia to introduce spam. This I am not. However, I can see from the comments that the article is not up to par with the notability requirements. I read through them carefully, but obviously did not apply them correctly. I also read that I can request deletion of the article which I would like to do as I do not want anything on the site that can be taken as spammy. I will keep the article in my sandbox until I have a chance to work on it more. There are many references that you are all missing, including numerous books where he and his works are covered, but I can add that later when I have time. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time. --NomiStature (talk) 19:56, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NomiStature: My comments above sounded grumpy, but it is actually a well-written article; it's just that the subject seems not to meet the notability requirements as far as we can tell, and we get so much spam that people tend to be skeptical of this sort of thing. You can move or copy it back to your sandbox and request that the mainspace version be deleted by adding the {{db-author}} tag to it (but bear in mind that we don't indefinitely host content that won't be suitable for mainspace eventually). We have many missing biographical articles for people broadly involved in the medical field; maybe you'd like to try one of those? Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NomiStature: I do apologize, if in fact you wrote this for a non-promotional reason. Unfortunately, your activity - creating a well-written, well-formatted article on a person of dubious notability - meets exactly all the features associated with a paid-for, spammy edits that are plaguing this project. If you want to show us that we mistakenly prejudged you, for which I'll again apologize in advance, I'd encourage you to do things that said spammers never do: improve content on topics that no spammer would work. Missing bio articles from the field of medicine that Opabinia regalis mentioned would be a good start, for example. Spellcheck an article. Heck, just upload a few images of your hometown/vacation spot/etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus:, @Opabinia regalis:, Thanks for the comments and no need to apologize. I can understand being suspicious but I actually thought it was a well-written, well-sourced article. I will pass on creating the additional pages for others. I created this one as I heard him speak recently and when I went to look him up in Wikipedia there was no article on him. I thought that to be strange based on the sources that I found talking about him and his work. Anyways, I requested the deletion and will hopefully have time to work on the article in the next couple of weeks, keeping the comments here in mind. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to dedicate to Wikipedia on a regular basis. If I am unable to get to it in the next couple of weeks, I will simply remove it from my sandbox and hopefully someone else can pick up the work. --NomiStature (talk) 16:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - think the comments about this user have been overly harsh, they've obviously tried hard. However, not enough really good reliable sources about them, seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Also, quite a bit of WP:PUFFERY. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only thing that looks close to a reliable in-depth source about the subject, of a type that would be needed to pass WP:GNG, is the Irish Times story.

  • Delete. No reliable sources. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:16, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt. There's just nothing to show that this author is ultimately notable enough to have an article. The thing about selling on Amazon is that this is something that is so easily manipulated (especially since Amazon can have so many subcategories that a handful of sales will make a huge difference) and so difficult to verify (since these rankings are continually changing with each sale, there is really never any permanent record of this anywhere on the site), Amazon rankings will not be used to show notability. Unless they change something in the future it's unlikely that this will ever become something that will give notability on that basis alone. Selling well can make it more likely that there will be coverage, but it's not a guarantee and I can't find enough coverage to warrant a keep. Since this was quickly re-created after it was A7'd on the 23rd, this may need to be salted. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:28, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know that this could qualify for an A7 and even a G11 (the EL section and several portions of the article are fairly spammy), but this should go through a full AfD since this will help prevent re-creation before he passes notability guidelines.

Other than the two F-News Magazine articles, there seems to be little that I can find online that gives anything verifiable about this "master," and it appears that the coverage all but died after those two articles. The article itself is filled with superlatives and unverifiable claims from what appears to me to be a promotional Web site.

  • Keep - As the primary contributor of this article and a PhD in Chinese Art History, Chan Sheng-Yao is considered as a significant artist in the field with many publications dedicated to his artwork in both Chinese and English. As mentioned above and in the article, many notable scholars in the field of Chinese Art History such as Emily Tsai, Chu-Tsing Li, Michael Sullivan, Philip Wu, have written about his work. Unfortunately, many sources of Chan’s work and publications are not available on the Internet and I tried to connect as many links to online articles and mentions of his work that I could, including recent events such as his lectures at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Loyola University. To further compensate, I had reproduced some of the prefaces (in Chinese and English) written by others from publications that I was unable to find online links for. Taking into consideration reviewer comments, I have removed these reproduced prefaces. All remaining content and links are now verified and direct links have been drawn from these third party articles and publications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjjso (talkcontribs) 06:15, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Really? And surely you realise source 5 is his own self-published CV. WP:GNG requires strong evidence of multiple reliable news/book coverage about the subject. Sure, he was the subject of the news article in The Independent in 2006.

Well of course it's self-published. It's a CV. Look, I didn't mean to imply that the article about delays at Heathrow contributed to notability. I started with the page, which made him sound like a self-taught buff who wrote popular books. I ran a routine search just to make sure, found the Heathrow thing which made me look harder. As in, with all of his initials. And he became noteworthy. A young technology expert with an unusual back story (attested by that 2006 profile in The Independent) Whose popular books got some attention (and sold) And who is now embarked on a career of significant accomplishment (attested by the CV, but also at the veritably published articles), although still very young.

Last 2 AfDs closed as no consensus due to poor participation. Can I please ask that it is repeatedly relisted if it doesn't attract comments rather than just closed. This is the 3rd attempt to get a discussion about it, and it has been tagged for notability for over 7 years; it really needs resolution.

  • Keep and improve by (1 - repairing the citations, which are good, reliable citations any way; 2 - By adding some more content) The subject is notable and historical now. Educationtemple (talk) 15:13, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This pianist is notable and the topic is worth an article. Reviews in the New York Magazine indicate this. The article content however will have to go. It is both copied and promotional in terms of word choice. However it is not a candidate for deletion. It is adequately sourced and it indicates notability.

  • Comment: Its a borderline case at best, which is no doubt why its been stuck in AfD purgatory forever. One would expect that some obituaries would exist if she was notable (like her relative did [28]), but I can't find one even in the Stuttgarter Zeitung.--Milowenthasspoken 02:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article as it stands does not make best use of the available material. We can get more biography from the existing refs, we can get a list of recordings, and here is a death announcement from the Stuttgarter Zeitung: Noyster (talk), 14:03, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article passes WP:GNG. It hasn't been the subject of reliable, significant, in-depth coverage. Most of the article isn't sourced. In fact, of the seven sources in the article, three of them are published by Apple itself, and only one is exclusively about the application (the Macworld article). As far as the application itself, there's nothing very special about it: not enough to warrant its own article, in my opinion. I also think it's telling that at the moment, the article isn't listed on the Note (disambiguation) page. StewdioMACK Talk page 09:40, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, because I don't see that anything has changed since the discussion at the first AfD, where this was kept based on valid arguments by several editors.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak Keep - per above ... the one argument that might be worth talking about is if every app made by apple on the iPhone is notable, simply because there's millions of them. On that note though, it doesn't require references, everyone knows there's millions of "Notes" on the iPhones, so references are needless too. -- IamM1rv (talk) 18:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Not only is the previous discussion still valid, but some people seem to forget that this is also an application for OS X, just like Dictionary (software) etc. It is not clear why this app should be removed while keeping the others.--5retf (talk) 10:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adarsh Liberal[edit]

I think term itself is popular enough. So don't see any reason to delete it.

Seems to be some Twitter-based nonsensical meme. No reliable sources outside of the initial incident. Nakon 07:08, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm sorry, but that is a Viral Internet phenomenon, covered in detailed in national newspapers, which are considered reliable. Similar Internet phenomenon had also been considered an a valid entry here. Why not this? - Vatsan34 (talk) 15:09, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I support the deletion. This is a very recent meme which appeared in March 2015, after the Twitter account by the name AdarshLiberal was created, which currently has only 8700 followers. This article serves mainly to promote the Twitter account. The interest seems to have died quickly. According to Google Trends, "Adarsh Liberal" was zero compared to other news of the period. Search for "Adarsh Liberal" alone shows insufficient data. Also, compared to the recent meme Tsundere Sharks, the Tsundere Sharks are far more notable. These memes belong on sites like Know Your Meme, not Wikipedia. It may be deleted and re-added only if interest increases in future. -Kenfyre (talk) 07:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Has received enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, albeit on the weak side, and also keep as per WP:NTEMP. While some of the articles listed below are short ones, overall, the topic is mildly notable as per Wikipedia's notability guidelines: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. North America1000 01:41, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There is clearly some conflation here between notability of the meme and notability of what's behind the meme. I would say that this article is based on the former, when in fact it is really just an expression of a larger political issue. It should therefore be a blurb in the context of a larger (appropriate) article, as it clearly has no staying power. NTEMP doesn't address keeping the article; it addresses the need for significant coverage, and I'm not seeing it - a few articles repeating the same things aren't significant. MSJapan (talk) 04:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per North America1000. Subject has generated more than sufficient news buzz specifically about the subject, thereby passing WP:GNG, e.g.:[29],[30],[31],[32],etc. Pax 07:34, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article for non- notable traveller. Most of his accomplishments have no been firsts, but "One of the first"s, or unsuccessful attempts DGG ( talk ) 18:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep notability is not determined by importance of accomplishments (which is largest subjective), but rather depth of reliable source coverage (whcih mostly is not). Here, significant coverage by Mike O'Shea The Irish Times and The Irish Examiner, among others, makes the subject notable. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
