Not all romance novelists are notable. I can't find much about her or her books, so I believe she fails WP:AUTHOR. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:10, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I created this early in my Wikipedia editing career, and I don't think I would do so now. I can find some of her books reviewed in newspapers, but I can find no critical discussion of her books or biographical material on her. I also can't find any mentions of her work in scholarly discussions of romance writing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:31, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Mike Christie Can you say where you found the reviews?E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I searched newspapers.com and found a couple of very short announcement-style reviews. For example, Kitsy Babcock, Library Assistant is reviewed in the Gaffney Ledger (a South Carolina paper); the review is two sentences long and is really a description of the plot rather than a review.

  • Delete I ran a couple of Proquest newspapers searches - because these are older books - and found even less than Mike Christie did. i.e. , I found nothing at all. genre novels and their authors don't necessarily attract any coverage at all, even when their books sell, as these must have done because they kept being published.

This businessman doesn't seem to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:03, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're right, he doesn't. Questions. I suggest that this article is extremely short, is about somebody who has probably been dead for over a century, has never been remotely promotional, does not seem likely to ever be subverted for promotional purposes, and might at some point attract a knowledgable addition that would shed some more light on the short-lived boom of merchandising of images of Japanese exoticism by foreigners to foreigners -- am I wrong? How does/might the presence of this article detract from Wikipedia? -- Hoary (talk) 22:25, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It would lower the notability standards so that, if allowed to stand, it would open the floodgates to just about anybody. Also see WP:HARMLESS. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:44, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. In the article namespace, this article is linked to only from Adolfo Farsari and yields no information beyond what already is in Farsari's article. If someone were to search for this article with information useful and well-sourced enough that it would demonstrate notability, they would likely be willing to re-create it. That, by the way, looks quite unlikely to me now, as nobody has asserted notability in nine years of E. A. Sargent's article's existence. Daß Wölf (talk) 02:01, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Adolfo Farsari, as Sargent's partnership with Farsari constitutes the whole body of E. A. Sargent, and nothing is added beyond the content already in Farsari's article. Daß Wölf (talk) 02:01, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's true there are no significant changes to this stub since I created it years ago, but the hope was - and is - that someone (maybe even me) will add more information and flesh it out. A redirect to Adolfo Farsari would be misleading and I see no reason why the little thing can't sit happily as it is until someone is able to take the time to make it bigger.

Jay Ward Productions may not be Notable in its own right. Notability for its cartoons and other productions may not carry over for an article about the organization itself.

  • Weak Delete - while I haven't looked into whether if this is a copyvio, or the notability of the subject at hand (hence the weak); the article definitely takes a promotional tone. WP:NOTPROMOTION.Godsy(TALKCONT) 04:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. There is some in-depth coverage here in which she won an award from the state of New Jersey, plus a nice write-up here although it was in a local paper, plus she's included in Psychology Today as a therapist here, and she is one of those excellent people really making a difference in the world. However, the strength of the sources is not that great, unfortunately. So I am on the fence on this one, maybe slightly in the keep side.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:25, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Wouldn't it make more sense for Teething troubles to be soft redirected to Wiktionary rather than this implausible search term? -- Tavix (talk) 19:46, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That term can be soft redirected as well, but I don't mind keeping a soft redirect containing "figurative" to catch hits. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What hits are you referring to? I don't see how this would generate hits at all, especially due to the disambiguator "figurative". Sure, it might be "figurative" but that's what an idiom is... It begs the question: why would we have soft redirects for idioms that have figurative definitions? I'm not following the logic here. See also Template:Wiktionary redirect which states: "Do not place it on every possible word. It is only for dictionary definitions and which, due to previous re-creations, are likely to be re-created." I don't see this being recreated in any fashion. -- Tavix (talk) 19:55, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SPA re-creation of an AfD-deleted article. Some new sources, but all of them insufficient to establish notability. GermanJoe (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A closer look on the new sources: ref #1, only a passing mention as part of an announcement. #2 interview fluff as part of an announcement campaign, no independent detailed information #3 passing mention with a short quote #4 trivial schedule entry #5 whatever that is, it's not independent in-depth coverage #6 VCU's self-promotional feelgood bio record. In short: All of the sources fail to be independent neutral WP:RS with significant in-depth coverage. Still far WP:TOOSOON. Wikipedia is no venue for promotion of new artists.

Comment Is there a term which would be used for these people? I see there is an article concerning Muhammed's antecedents. Would renaming be an option?Pincrete (talk) 00:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so, but I'm by no means an expert on Islamic family trees. It looks to me like the people in question have been chosen completely arbitrarily. I can't see why these three specific family trees have been chosen. For this reason I don't think renaming would solve anything. Brustopher (talk) 13:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename -- Perhaps Family of Mohammed. If kept I would like to see a little more explanatory text. I found it difficult to see where Mohammed fitted into it. Not being a Muslim, I am not familiar with his patronymic or tribal name. Nevertheless, the number of people listed with blue-links, clearly points to keeping it in some form.

  • Keep - I'd say that a significantly sized public park or public leisure facility is normally notable and that this just about qualifies. I have fixed the dead link reference and I see that the new reference says that park is larger than previously stated so I have reflected that in the article. RS references are hard to come by but it did host the 2013 Southern California Summer Skateboarding Expo and I have added a reference for that. I don't think there is much scope to further expand the article but I think it is legitimate to have a short article about a subject that is just about notable enough to include. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can easily be handled in Athletics at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, with all information unique to this article failing WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. Similar discussions such as Pencak silat and Wushu have closed as delete. If this discussion results in delete, I'll likely nominate the rest of the similar Athletics articles jointly.

The previous nomination closed as no consensus due to my overly ambitious attempt to combine all similar articles from this multi-sport competition together. ~ RobTalk 21:12, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote: "can easily be handled in Athletics at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games", so why are you asking for a deletion when the proper way is to merge and redirect? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:06, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All relevant information (medal winners) is already at that article. The exact times of those who did not place in a relatively minor multi-sport event below the level of the Asian Games, European Games, et al, a schedule of the times each event took place, and the wind speed on the day of the event are not worth inclusion in this Wikipedia, although contributors may wish to try another wiki. I believe a redirect is not appropriate given the extremely unlikely use of this as a search term, although I wouldn't be strictly opposed to one. ~ RobTalk 02:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As part of a slow systematic way of deleting the whole thing, bit-by-bit. WP is not paper, so there's no real reason why we can't include this info. To say it "can be handled in Athletics at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games" defeats the object of having seperate article for all events at similar sporting events. What really needs to happen is an WP:RFC at WP:MSE (in conjuction with other projects, such as WP:OLYMPICS, WP:ATHLETICS, etc) to define notablity of results pages for multi-sporting events that are not the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, etc. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:48, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Athletics at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games – Results. As per my previous comments, the best approach would be to merge sport-level result articles. This is a solution that already has form in other areas and also arranges material in a better fashion than a direct merge to the main articles (e.g.). The principal reason given for deletion (WP:NOTSTATSBOOK) explicitly promotes such a two-article approach – one for specific results and one for overall discussion – through it's comparison of Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2012 and United States presidential election, 2012. The specific applicable point of "NOTSTATSBOOK" appears to be #3 ("Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles.") Arrangement of the content in a sport-level results article resolves both these issues and is within the spirit of that guideline. The content of the nominated article is not confusing by any means, though there should be greater explanatory text (which is more a content issue rather than an inclusion issue).

  • Keep I come at this from the perspective of preserving information. We have certainly deemed international sports festivals and their results to be notable. Downwardly merging into specific sports, particularly in the sport of Athletics which we are discussing here as a header, will create a huge article. How do you make it more palatable? By removing information. That has already been done here to create the list of medalists. That follows the standard protocol. But we have much more information to present, and the event specific article is the place to retain it, to keep the main article from being too cumbersome or worse yet, (poof) making the information disappear. As I probe wikipedia, the older the article, the less information we have. Sources dry up, organizing committee web sites shut down after the shine of the event wears off. Former details that were on paper go behind paywalls or are stored on microfiche. Wikipedia, and the efforts of the hard working editors who post this information is one of the best places to retain this information. I don't want to bring out a WP:CRYSTAL ball and predict these athletes will someday be notable. You never know. They all have achieved a level of notability by representing their country in an international competition. Are we going to discriminate and say South East Asia is less important than say, the the Pan American states, now and forever? Essentially that is a precedent you are establishing, that none of this information is ever going to be useful. These athletes were the best their countries had to send to this international competition. Next year, who will be the best athlete these countries have to offer to send to the Olympics? Odds are, these same individuals, which will guarantee their notability. And when wikipedia creates an article, all will have is a stub reporting that they showed up at the Olympics. Where did these people come from, what did they do to merit their selection to the Olympics? We HAD the information, we chose to delete it, the website goes down and it is lost forever. Do I need to show you hundreds, perhaps thousands of wikipedia stub articles of Olympic athletes, that we know absolutely nothing about except they showed up at the Olympics? Look at María Caridad Colón, an Olympic gold medalist in the last 35 years. Without mention of the equatable Ibero-American Championships international championships, her article would be one sentence. Until I created it 26 years after the event, World Champion Yekaterina Fesenko was a red link because I assume nobody could find information about her. Wikipedia is not paper, the cost of retaining information is so small as to be incalculable. We are here to provide information. There is no damage being created by us having and retaining the information, currently sourced, already entered on this page and any other page like it.

  • Keep "articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader". This appears to do that and can be further annotated. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:45, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • That text in WP:NOTSTATSBOOK is preceded by "In addition", which means it is not to be taken as an exception to the requirement to avoid "long and sprawling lists of statistics". ~ RobTalk 19:56, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Certainly shorter and less sprawling than List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita, one of the standard almanac entries at Wikipedia. You have to define "long and sprawling list" so that a computer can identify what it means, and remove the subjectivity. Almanacs are nothing but statistics, just not "sprawling". A core principal of Wikipedia is to be an almanac. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:14, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Nearly all policies on Wikipedia contain some subjectivity, notability being a major one. WP:IAR specifically makes subjectivity a policy, even. When you include information such as the wind speed on the day of the event, it's hard to justify the statistics as concise. Typing in some of the competitors' names into Google, which should return information about the event if these stats tables were noteworthy enough to warrant their own article with little to no prose, I find nothing whatsoever about this event in news articles. Try a search on "Sengpheth Phomphady", for instance. With keep rationales such as "part of a series" and statements that confer notability based on the notability of the event's sport have left me somewhat disappointed with the discussion here. It's an interesting exercise in AfD, though, and shows that consensus changes drastically depending on who shows up. None of the editors who voted delete at previous similar discussions decided to comment here, and consequentially, we likely will have an inconsistent outcome. ~ RobTalk 18:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a participant in the first discussion, I'd rather have this issue discussed in an RFC as per Lugnuts, and defer (sorry guys) a decision on this until the RFC has been completed. –HTD 20:35, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Howard the Duck and Lugnuts:: Why do you advocate for yet another discussion? AfD, RfC (much less CfD, TfD et al) whatever it is, are discussions between a very limited and not necessarily representative group. Its just the few who happen to stumble onto the discussion and that regular bad faith crowd that roam these backrooms with a seeming single purpose to delete everything. Moving it to a further discussion, are you hoping even fewer people can participate? You have to admit these are a totally negative, totally destructive process. The only purpose of these discussions is to destroy what exists. Nothing positive ever comes from such a discussion. At best, when a keep is decided upon, all we achieve is the status quo. We keep the content, until the next attack from someone who didn't like the decision and we do the dance again. Aside from this particular AfD, I have long advocated for opening up these discussions. Automating a system to actively seek out and notify potentially interested parties. That has gotten no traction. Apparently those who know how to have the opportunity to express themselves prefer these decisions be made by the smallest sample of the millions of wikipedia readers and the thousands of editors possible. I'm sorry, but the concept of moving these battles for deletion around just seems like WP:FORUMSHOPing, to make it a difficult to follow, moving target, to get a decision from a smaller sample. How many articles, how much deserving content is obliterated by the "votes" of two or three high volume editors (self-appointed wikipedia WP:OWNers) every day? Trackinfo (talk) 09:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
An RfC would reach a larger audience and notability of these events can then be decided without the need of dragging each one through AfD. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So far, we have to defend this group of articles here, really a third time (I only knew about one of the first two). Then we have to go further to defend it again at RfC. Pound hard enough and eventually that will get this content that already exists, deleted, which seems to be the goal. Will every commenter in these like articles get notified? I doubt it. We will suddenly see the content deleted by an RfC we never heard of. That is a result by plan. It happens all the time. Trackinfo (talk) 09:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Who said anything about deletion? The RfC would establish what is notable. These articles would almost certainly make the inclusion criteria. Futher AfDs would be set as keep (or even speedy keep). I don't see a downside. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:20, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If this and several articles are going to be deleted, they'll be deleted. It doesn't matter when. Same thing for the reverse (if they'll be kept). At least with an RFC, there'd be more people, and more pegs to stand on rather than an AFD. It's also easier to overturn an AFD than an RFC so we could have more consistency in dealing with similar articles. Once we have an RFC to delete, it'll become so much easier to delete articles such as this, rather than going at it one by one per sport. –HTD 21:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A bit of dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. Yes there were too many in the first AfD to comfortably delete en masse but one article of a series is a little low.

  • Keep or Merge to Athletics at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games – Results. Some of the non-olympic sports in SEA Games (ex: Pencak Silat, Netball, Wushu, Floorball, etc) is more likely to be over-detailed and may violate WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. I personally agree with the mentioned articles' deletion because it is too detailed and full of red-linked links which are not going to become an article in the next 5-10 years. But, this article is about Athletics, the sport which is widely practiced and has been in the Games since 1959. These results can be just a random list of names and numbers for someone outside Southeast Asia, but not for those sports fan living in the region. Griff88 (talk) 03:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let's sort this out once and for all, this article has repeatedly had attempts to speedy delete it and repeatedly added (and re-added) notability template. From what I can see it is certainly bordering on advertising with no claims to notability that I can see (it tries to suggest notability by claiming association with Salvador Dali and an award-nominated film). I can only see commercial and public relations links online about this product. Fails WP:GNG, time for the article to go. Sionk (talk) 11:18, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No prejudice. The article is a mess. I can't tell if it's about fine art by disney artists or about the company called Disney Fine Art. Fine art by artists employed by Disney could probably carry an article but the company the article is about (apparently) is not notable enough by itself in terms of secondary coverage to warrant it's own separate article. In the case of the former (fine art by Disney artists) might be better as a category of individual pieces. --Savonneux (talk) 21:30, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - A bit hard to guess what this is about. It seems to be about an art collection or a company owning one, which doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG and the sources that aren't dead are primary. Could be perhaps merged into some Disney-related article, but I can't think of any that would be relevant enough. Daß Wölf (talk) 02:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Passes WP:GNG and is not a WP:BLP1E. Aside from the coverage on the discovery of her underage performances in adult films, there is also coverage of her stripping career during her hiatus from porn. The article is titled "Topless dancer says she was fired for not letting patrons touch her" and was published by The Commercial Appeal on October 30, 1993. By the way, this and most of the other sources used in the article that aren't online can be found at newslibrary.com. The "Porn industry torching tapes that starred underage actress" article published by The Hollywood Reporter on November 1, 1991 can be found here.

  • Keep, as per comments by Rebecca1990 and Morbidthoughts. Onel5969 TT me 22:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No one argues that the subject satisfies PORNBIO or any other SNG. One of the two book sources cited by MT is clearly not a reliable source; it carries a disclaimer from its author saying that " "This book is a memoir. It reflects the author’s present recollections of his experiences over a period of years. Some names and characteristics have been changed. Some characters have been combined, events have been compressed, and certain episodes are re-created and not meant to portray actual events". It also contains virtually no factual content regarding Quinn. "Rebecca's" citation of a single, brief local news story constitutes, per a newsbank search, constitutes the entirety of the news coverage of her "stripping career". What we are left with is the claim that an otherwise non-notable porn performer is made notable because she is mentioned as a witness in a "true crime" book about a non-notable murder. We have never, to my knowledge, determined that conjoining non-substantial coverage in two entirely discrete areas satisfies the "significant coverage" requirement of the GNG. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 22:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (changed from comment) For those who want to judge for themselves, here is a copy of Nobody Walks (she is mentioned about 25 times throughout the book, 5 times as Alexandra Quinn, and about twenty times as Diane Stewart). Then there is a mention in Exposure: A Sociologist Explores Sex, Society, and Adult Entertainment by Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals. And a mention in American Gangbang: A Love Story by Sam Benjamin (pp. 39 and 103). And in The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encyclopedia edited by Wilbur R. Miller (p. 1399). And in True Crime: Timeless Classics by Ryan White [with portrait]. Kraxler (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reading again one of the sources, I discover now that the underage-porn case had actually lasting impact. I quote from the abovementioned encyclopedia: [After the Lords and Quinn cases] "Popular media reported on the threat and spread of child pornography, largely on the Internet. ...the federal government responded. This led to the passage of 1995 laws that required producers of any pornographic images to keep evidence of the age of all participants. The 1996 Communications Decency Act was passed...". That alone takes it clearly beyond the restrictions of WP:BLP1E. Kraxler (talk) 14:32, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of the article fails the primary inclusion criteria. No significant coverages in multiple independent reliable sources to establish its notability. The sources in the article are unreliable as they are nothing but a self-promotional website that anyone can add content to promote themselves. The only reliable sources I can't find is on ref 8 "Thisdaylive". Ref 1 is "Alexa Internet" (database for website just like Internet Movie Database, IMDB) and doesn't establish notability, ref 2 "wakapost" is a blog, ref 3 is also "Alexa Internet", ref 4 "Naijaonpoint" is a local blog, ref 5 is still "Alexa Internet", ref 6 "facebook website", ref 7 "Opera website" (self romotional: does not establish notability since is not independent of NaiJ.com) ref 9 "Wakapost" and nothing more.

  • Keep :Naij is the most popular Nigerian news website online and you can verify from the Alexa rankings. TechCabal and TechLoy are the foremost Nigerian tech news websites and the links have been added. I think you do not understand the local Nigerian context which is why you say Naijaonpoint is a local website. However, I will find other reliable sources too. Thanks. Wikimayor (talk)
Wikimayor is high time you familiarize with WP:Indentation and learn to sign your comment. That aside, the sources you provided lack editorial control. News reporting from less-established outlets such as "Naijaonponint", is generally considered less reliable for statements of fact. Majority of the sources you provided are personal web pages, Internet forum posting and any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Alexa Internet and Internet Movie Database are largely not acceptable.

@Wikicology: Alexa.com is not a social web site like IMDB. Alexa gathers statistics from internet traffic and is considered one of the main "site analytics" engines. So Alexa ranking is to web sites what h-index is to academic papers. Although I suspect that it is more scientific than the h-index. LaMona (talk) 00:44, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks LaMona, of course Alexa.com is not a social website and incomparable to IMDB but the content of both web seems to be a user-generated contents. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 01:43, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is a bit of reference cruft here, but the Alexa ranking (which is high, and probably quite notably high for Nigeria) and the partnership with Opera (as related in many references) convince me. LaMona (talk) 00:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The content of Alexa Internet seemed to be a user-generated contents and may not establish notability. Meanwhile you don't even imagine why your presumed notable "Naij.com" has not been significantly discussed in multiple independent reliable sources like The Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian, Thisday and The Nation among other reputable sources in Nigeria. LaMona, if you ask me why "NaiJ.com" has not been the subject of these reputable Nigerian reliable sources, I will simply say "Naij.com is not notable". Don't forget that webpages were only ranked amongst users who had the Alexa Toolbar installed, and could be biased if a specific audience subgroup was reluctant to take part in the rankings and this had earlier caused some controversy over how representative Alexa's user base was of typical Internet behavior, especially for less-visited sites. In 2007, it was established and reported that "Alexa rankings" contradicted data from the comScore web analytics service, including ranking YouTube ahead of Google, an obvious aberration. This aberration does not only annul the reliability of "Alexa Ranking" but give an insight to why I may reluctantly compare it with h-index (in the case of academic). We simply cannot base our primary inclusion criteria on "Alexa Ranking". Wikigyt@lk to M£ 01:43, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Familiarizing with the WP:Indentation and should get the hang of it soon. Opera and MTN are two major players in Africa and do not partner with just anyone. That aside, giving internet connectivity to a million people is a big deal and in my opinion, notable enough. I still don't agree with your submissions about Alexa - I can't think of any other website ranking service that is as popular or reliable, but you can check any if you do and compare the results. You also keep insisting that there are no multiple independent sources but there are links to mentions of this partnership involving Naij in The Guardian and Thisday, two of the examples that you yourself mention as well as IT Web, an independent and notable South African tech website. Wikimayor (talk) 05:43, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikimayor, I cancelled your second "Keep" vote as editors are disallow to vote twice. Having reminded you of that, I can't see an evidence that Naij.com has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists or it partner with notable organizations. Having partner with "MTN" and "Opera" is not an evidence of notability, its just an evidence that the website is functioning. The evidence of notability must show that Naij.com has gained significant independent coverage or recognition. Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally. In the case of a website such as Naij.com, an independent source would be multiple newspaper coverage of the site. "IT Web" is blog. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 10:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikicology, I also mentioned that the coverage in The Guardian and Thisday, but I see you have ignored that. LaMona has done that and recognised the notability, but it would be great to have another unbiased editor do so too. Wikimayor (talk) 12:48, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a nice "substantial coverage" piece, and while negative, this also shows the forum's notability. And this was a relatively quick search. If I had highbeam, I might find more.

The result was no consensus. It's unlikely this discussion can or will yield an accurate consensus as the subject of the article has been fundamentally changed from a BLP to an event, rendering both the nominating statement and many of the "delete" rationales moot. Applicable arguments in favor of deletion have still been presented and in theory could be explored further, but I don't think that's achievable by relisting this discussion, a significant portion of which is misleading and outdated. This can be considered a procedural keep with no prejudice against renomination. I will note however that it has also been argued that the event itself meets the general notability guideline and renomination is not necessarily warranted, only that it may be renominated with a different rationale if someone so desires.

    Thank you, BabbaQ, it almost feels as though other editors commenting have not even taken the time to look at the dates of the few articles already on the page before asserting that coverage was not "enduring", As for the assertion that a fuss was made about this rape because of the national origin of the rapist - of course it was, that's why Greece's Fascist party is a major part of the story.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:GNG is not about our opinion of what is routine; if the entire national press corps decides to cover a particular rape this intensely, it becomes notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:45, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Horrible event, fails relevant notability guidelines (WP:CRIM, WP:NOTWHOSWHO, etc.) North of Eden (talk) 22:36, 2 August 2015 (UTC) Very weak keep, for the time being, due to E.M.Gregory's revisions and rationale here.[reply]
  • Comment the fact that this individual fails WP:PERP,WP:CRIM is irrelevant. This Notable Criminal Act passes WP:N/CA and WP:N(E) because it was a major national news story for years, had ongoing political impact, and received international news coverage. Note, for example, the lynch mob made up of Greek Fascists.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:09, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:HEYMANN Today I made an effort to improve, source what has been, after all, a major incident in Greece and a major news story across Europe where the rape of a local 15-year old by an illegal immigrant became a highly charged signifier at a time of burgeoning political tensions about the enormous wave of illegal immigrants arriving in Greece and other Mediterranean countries. Searches on America-based engines can underestimate the impact of events in Europe, especially when transliteration of spellings in other alphabets is an issue, as here.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you move the article while under AfD?--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 17:34, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For clarity, Because editors at this AFD appeared to mistake it for an article about a criminal, when it is an article about a crime that became a national issue.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I might be convinced to reconsider, as this does bear some resemblance to the more recent Shooting of Kathryn Steinle at least in terms of the xenophobia connections. That said, I'm still not seeing enough sources that indicate the lasting significance of the incident, beyond the typical stories that follow the progress of any sensational criminal case. North of Eden (talk) 05:31, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It would be best if someone fluent in Greek worked on this.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:25, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It likely would; nevertheless, you've done a good job redoing it. I've switched to a keep, more or the less, given the current sourcing. I would be happier with more, but it likely reaches WP:N/CA right now. North of Eden (talk) 19:45, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I improved the sourcing after North of Eden changed to Keep. The intensity of national coverage, at least, should now be apparent, even though the websites of Greek media are not as easy to search as those of some counties.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:27, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Palmer, the US businessman in the news for shooting a lion in Africa, does not meet the criteria for notability.
Wikipedia guidelines state :"Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time." (My emphasis).

This is a news item, that will be forgotten shortly. Are we going to decree notability on every person who does something that others on social media doesn't like, or who falls foul of the celebrity activists such as Ricky Gervais. The “Not News” rules should also apply here.

This person is only known for this one event, which according to policy is not enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO1E

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TOOSOON could also apply, as he is unlikely to gain notably in the future.

Walter Palmer is already listed on the disambiguation page for that name, with a mention of the event and a link to the lion. This should be sufficient coverage of the person.
It is silly to have an article in his name, with a redirect to the lion he shot.

Nor should he be listed as a “big-game hunter”, on any article. He's not a BGH, he's a dentist who when hunting. (I go fishing but that doesn't make me a fisherman.) Dmol (talk) 02:48, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Empathy in chickens[edit]

There's no cohesive article here. The vast majority of it isn't about the topic purported by the article's title, "Empathy in chickens". Breaking it down:

"The ability of chickens to experience and share empathy is recognized; empathy is not a uniquely human trait. This ability is a form of emotional intelligence and is demonstrated in a hen’s apparent signs of anxiety when they observed their chicks in distressful situations; they have been said to “feel their chicks’ pain” and to “be affected by, and share, the emotional state of another.” OK, though it's kind of trivial that in many species mothers protect their young, hardly worth an encyclopedia article for just one species where that's true.
"Hens have been observed to play; they are considered smart and emotional." This isn't about empathy.
"Chickens have the capacity to form “close friendships.”" This is about friendship, not empathy.
"A hen is keenly aware of the courting behavior of a rooster, and responds to his vocalizing." This is about mating rituals, not empathy.

Then there's an entire quotation that's about chickens being intelligent, having fun, being capable of facial recognition, and having the faculty of object permanence, not about them being empathetic. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:58, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into emotion in animals as a broad treatment seems the best place to start. Splitting to particular species and types of emotion can then happen in due course when appropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 12:59, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with emotion in animals. Per WP:MILL it makes no encyclopaedic sense to have an article for every species and every emotion combination. It is just a flawed approach. Best, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:22, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - @Struway2: thanks for pointing that out. However, looking more closely at Soccerbase, he seems to have played twice in FPL matches for a grand total of about half an hour as far as I can see. Given the article comments that he left Ayr to concentrate on his studies I think it is fair to say that he is gone from FPL competition for the time being at least and so GNG is the overriding factor here. I have adjusted my comments accordingly but still feel this is a non-notable individual. Fenix down (talk) 17:13, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFOOTY has this: "Note: For the purposes of this guideline, played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute." Kraxler (talk) 14:13, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not the fact that he came on as a sub, it's the fat that in several years he has played less than an hour for in fully professional leagues. Normally players get a grace period when they make their debut's, but there is no consensus that scraping over the NFOOTY line and then fading away means you are notable, quite the opposite in fact. Given that this player has slipped down the divisions, I think he needs to show GNG explicitly, not just a technical NFOOTY pass. Fenix down (talk) 16:31, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kelechi Iheanacho you opposed because he failed NFOOTY (which was conceded even by the supporters) and you did not recognize the vast coverage to pass WP:GNG, virtually claiming that no amount of coverage can override NFOOTY. You cant't eat your cake and have it too. (Disclaimer: I'm not !voting here either way, but I find it strange that some users seem to change their opinions faster than their shirts.) Kraxler (talk) 02:08, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really sure how that's relevant. The reason I didn't change my vote is because I did not come back to the page once additional sources had been added to the article. In that instance, there is clear GNG from a number of sources and had I seen either the article or the comments at AfD before its close I would have changed my vote. In this instance, there is no indication of GNG, this is a player who has played less than an hour of football in a fully professional league and has drifted down to a lower tier to concentrate on non-footballing matters. Although NFOOTY is normally used as a benchmark, GNG is always the preeminent notability guideline. In this case, like many others where there is only a technical NFOOTY pass, it becomes the primary requirement and I just don't see GNG here. Fenix down (talk) 08:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - "a city square in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy" is a claim of significance. The Italian Wikipedia article has several references. --Oakshade (talk) 01:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Obviously, the stub article needs expansion, but lacking references or not (yet) indicating significance in itself are not valid criteria for deletion. Notability is, and I see our notability criteria fulfilled because the site is known to anyone who ever visited Venice, it is discussed in many tourist guides, Google turns up with uncountable hits, at least some other WPs have articles about it as well, and if we'd dig a little deeper, I'm sure, more substantial (even scientific) literature (of the genres of history, architecture, or arts) can be turned up as well, in particular in the Italian language. So, as much as the article lacks at present, it has potential to become a full-blown article over time. A start needs to be made somewhen, and there is no valid reason to delete it (and thereby destroy another editor's constructive contribution). I consider this nomination as counter-productive to the goals of the project.

  • Delete with no prejudice. Most of the material I can find seems to be about the Santa Maria della Salute which is on the square and that the architect may have designed some of the pavement. It might be more appropriate in a larger article about all the campos in Venice.
