  • Keep as notability isn't an issue here. A quick google search will find lots of resources. Anarchyte 06:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The game is free; it's a basic program where you just go back every so often and expand your company. It may be simple, but there is nothing that would suggest the game is a fraud of some sort. Players start with lemonade stands and buy more, increasing their profits to buy another business.

As the game progresses, buying more franchises costs more money, managers are available for hire to automatically increase profits outside of gameplay, and "angel investors" are used as an incentive to restart the game, and they can increase profits of individual businesses (lemonade stands, donut shops, etc.) by percentages. Halsalmonella (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:56, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Very poor arguments here for keeping, almost WP:ILIKEIT. A lot of the sources are WP:ROUTINE and do not cover the game in depth. JMHamo (talk) 12:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I already listed enough sources to establish notability regardless of the other poor arguments. WP:ROUTINE doesn't even apply here, it's not an event. Four reviews from reliable sources is satisfactory coverage for video game article. --The1337gamer (talk) 12:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@JMHamo There's not much to cover in-depth. I suggest you play the game yoirself and see what I'm saying.

  • Keep per the three awards in the article and the following sources about her book The Opium Wars: [10] [11] [12] [13] These sources seem to be enough to meet WP:NAUTHOR. However the awards are enough to meet WP:PROF IMO, so she seems to pass both notability guidelines mentioned by the nominator. Everymorning talk 00:04, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those awards are both extremely minor (the former seems to be entirely defunct, and was awarded for less than 10 years, and she didn't even receive it).  White Whirlwind  咨  01:07, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a young scholar, but the awards attest to notability, especially an award for an academic book she wrote. That book is held in almost 1000 libraries, which is significant for an academic work.[14] Other books are held in around 500 libraries. We need to add a bibliography (she has written at least 3 books). LaMona (talk) 00:32, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep plenty of notability, even if we ignored the prizes.

E.M.Gregory - stored some of those links on the article talk page so as not to lose them. Thx. LaMona (talk) 16:21, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - since at least one work was reviewed by the New York Times, this author is probably notable. Bearian (talk) 23:19, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: White Whirlwind is a respected and accomplished editor, so I took this nomination seriously. I checked out the reviews of the Opium Wars book and added a selection to the article. They are not only in the standard academic journals but also in general literary journals, which convinced me that this relatively young scholar has earned a reputation as a public intellectual. She seems to be accomplished enough to be considered notable by either the academic or the author standard. I would also respectfully disagree that the Leverhulme Award is minor.ch (talk) 03:38, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Bureau of Fire Protection. Just a region of a larger organisation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The government agency is notable given that it serves an entire region of more than 4million residents. The fire bureau was most notably involved in the Typhoon Haiyan disaster response and retrieval operations, for which some of their firefighters lost their lives 1, 2 3, the Samar forest fire and even non-fire emergencies in the region. 4 5.--RioHondo (talk) 05:48, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • The point is it's not a government agency. The government agency is clearly notable. It's merely a territorial division of a government agency. It doesn't need its own article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:44, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Per WP:ONELOC: "Agencies of municipal or other small governments (other than national) are very frequently notable if it is customary for that type of agency to have an article. (Examples are) police and fire departments, mass transit providers, schools, and libraries." Ergo this, being a regional fire department supported by the above sources, meets WP:GNG especially since we also have articles on other regional/smaller government departments under Category:Fire departments of the Philippines.--RioHondo (talk) 14:33, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • I don't think you quite understand what I mean. It's not an independent agency. It's a division of an agency. Many agencies throughout the world are divided into regional divisions, but we don't generally have an article on each of them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:29, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Necrothesp. If this were an actual agency or even a district, then it could have its own article, but instead it's a mere division. By that logic, we should have articles on every division of every Philippine government agency such as the National Bureau of Investigation or the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Note that, unlike in some countries such as the United States, the Philippines' police and fire forces are centralized at the national and not the local level (i.e. the Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection), so there is (as far as I know) no individual police or fire departments for each city, municipality, or province. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:03, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - the bottom line is whether there is sufficient material to support a standalone page. It looks as though there isn't so a merge is the way to go. Adding information on each of the divisions will enhance the main page and convert the 'Organization' section from bring a laundry list. Just Chilling (talk) 20:49, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • A look at those RS I posted says there is though. Anyway there are only 18 regions in the Philippines and national government services like fire, police, health, etc are provided per region, headquartered per regional center, and manned by regional staff. This isn't merely a division of the agency in the national capital. As per the Local Government Code of the Philippines, there are basic government services provided at the local level such as this. In the same way, each region has its own regional police office such as the NCRPO similar to the Armed Forces of the Philippines having Category:Regional commands of the Philippines.--RioHondo (talk) 00:48, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Necrothesp. Just Chilling's commentary hits to the core of the issue. Onel5969 TT me 12:26, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional and non notable. Too much of a personal memoir, so i assume there's considerable conflict of interest.

Non-notable biography, substantially written (in a promotional tone) by the subject of the article, and reading like a CV/resume. Nothing conferring notability except possibly an unsourced claim that he was "appointed Ambassador for Peace" but not stating on behalf of whom, nor for what reason. Many other claims are made, but they are lacking citations to reliable sources, except for a tiny handful non-notable achievements. NSH001 (talk) 15:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Makes a claim to significance, so not appopriate for CSD, but absolutely no significant coverage in RS, per WP:GNG. North of Eden (talk) 15:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm just trying to add an industry professional art director to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia. Niccolo Fedrigo was spell in a wrong way. The correct name in Niccolò Fedrigo.
I found links and related articles that can helps to validates the page and I wrote everything with a complete neutral point of you. If you are not familiar with the industry Cannes Lions festival (one of the links) is the most important advertising festival in the world. Be part of the winners is such an honor. Not everything he did is online but I'm sure u can have an idea also browsing.
Mostly the work of these professionals are hide and uncredited but great and for this reason I think it's good talk about work and professionals that are not always nominated but notable. He is a very well know professional in the industry. Take your time to consider and feel free do ask me everything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LBPilli (talkcontribs) 15:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails to establish notability. There is no evidence the individual won anything at the Cannes Lions - the link to it in the article did not mention the article subject and was removed. I also do not see any claim of significance, so I have CSD'd the original article. The article fails to establish notability for the individual. reddogsix (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Unfortunately you need to sign in to see the credits because there is a new policy against get contents and repost on other website.

Anyway if this link doesn't count you can se the subjects had won also Silver ADCI (The most prestigious advertising Italian Awards) http://www.advexpress.it/templateStampa.asp?sez=28&info=121061 LBPilli (talk) 16:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway I still don't understand, why there are problems with a professional like this and nothing bed with this article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccolò_Ferrari Please explain cause all the links on this page are broke and the page still there. There is no prove about nothing but in my case also if I provide relevant material and links I can't write this page. If there is a rule that rule have to be the same for everyone.

I don't understand why it's so complicated honestly. There is nothing strange in this article.

  • Delete - Fails to establish notability. I would also add that I was the one who nominated the previous article for speedy deletion (it was speedy deleted).

  • I looked but couldn't find significant sources. What would make this person notable would be the awards, but both awarding organizations will only show the award winners to members of the organization. This is the strangest thing I've seen, because you obviously use awards as publicity, so not showing them online basically defeats the purpose of giving awards. The other references are either directory listings or his name in the credits on an ad. I have no idea if the latter should be considered a wp:rs, but in other career areas we do not confer notability based on credits. This may be moot since the editor has blanked the page and gone off in a huff, but I can only !vote delete. LaMona (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It meets this criteria and you only have to meet one it says here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles

NABSORA - Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1] This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missjws (talkcontribs) 15:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then by all means, add these multiple, reliable, independent sources to the article. A one-off interview with a borough council is not sufficient. Please note that anything written by the subject or anyone close to him (such as the subject's official website) cannot be considered "independent", and that YouTube, SoundCloud and other social media are not reliable.

Regarding the magazine, the online interview/article was published in March; does the Spring 2015 print article significantly expand on it?

  • Keep IDONOTLIKEIT is not a reason for deletion. Any person with an article in the Old DND or Oxford DND (ODNB) is certainly notable and we should retain the article. I appreciate that her precise identity is not as clear as desirable, as the ODNB makes clear. I have checked the ODNB article which is a little longer than the WP one. It says she died as a result of returning to the theatre to recover the takings. Sources cited include Gentleman's Magazine which is certainly a WP:RS on such matters.

  • Keep. An entry in the Dictionary of National Biography means she is undoubtedly notable, even though it is unfortunate we don't know her first name.

Does not appear to be a notable author. Having several guest appearances on TV is not necessarily a strong claim to notability. Lacks coverage in reliable sources, with the sources in the article being non-independent ones. Other sources I could find online, with the exception of an interview by Mint.com, are articles about tips by her rather than about her, or as being the daughter of author Dave Ramsey.

  • Delete I don't find any reliable sources, and the ones on the article are all non-RS. Note, though, that this article was created today. We could userfy it and ask the creator to take it through AfC. I say this because I see that the person is creating other articles, and I they have similar sourcing problems. At AfC the editor may get better instruction about sourcing. (And naming of articles, since "Cruze comma Rachel" is obviously not how it's done on WP). LaMona (talk) 22:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No indication of notability, neither WP:GNG nor WP:AUTHOR is met. I don't see how sending it to AfC could change the basic lack of notability. I'm always wary of articles that appear to be commissioned to advertise the subject of the article and increase their notability, rather than document existing notability. --bonadea contributions talk 10:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomwsulcer: Only the SFGate interview since to be reliable. The remaining sources, as I mentioned above, are more about her father, or about information by Cruze and not Cruze herself. Still, it's interesting to see that she's a NY Times bestseller, and I have no idea how I missed that information during my searches. I can't withdraw the AfD now though, since there are already two delete !votes above, so this AfD has to run its course. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:03, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5:, it is perfectly acceptable to withdraw your nomination in light of new information. I have AfD-ed articles only to find article defenders coming up with sources I did not know about, or guidelines that I did not know. Just write "nomination withdrawn" and let the closing admin decide. Flexibility is the essence of being open-minded, something I admire in Wikipedians.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 08:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomwsulcer: Well, based on my experiences (this includes occasionally making non-admin closures on AfDs), generally, even if the nominator withdraws a nomination or changes their !vote to Keep, sysops tend to keep AfDs open. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:57, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, GNG is about significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, and having (co-)authored a book that was on the NYT list of bestselling advice books for a few weeks does not automatically mean that a person meets GNG, nor WP:AUTHOR - it means that they are good at marketing, which we already knew, and if they still don't appear in multiple independent sources, there still isn't sufficient notability. I'm afraid my !vote stands. --bonadea contributions talk 07:38, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Bonadea, the guideline says The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique and Cruze and her father originated the idea of not paying allowances to children, to pay them by commission, as it says here, an article in the Chicago Tribune which is prominently about Cruze.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 08:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomwsulcer: In this case, I think it would depend more on how Cruze contributed to books. If, for example, she is listed as a co-author but the primary author is her father, then that may instead strengthen the father's notability. From what it looks, Cruze mainly seems to be known for, for a lack of a better term, assisting her father in the latter's views. And remember that notability is inherited so the discussion should focus on whether or not Cruze is notable on her own. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:57, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: If anything, Cruze appears to be an equal partner with her father in promoting financial literacy; earlier of course her father may have had the dominant role, but clearly now, at 25, Cruze is held as an authority. There are further instances in which Cruze, herself and alone, is cited as an authority on various financial matters, such as here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 09:11, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomwsulcer: As tempted as I am to change my !vote (despite being the nominator), the article only seems to confirm my thoughts in my nomination: that most of the sources regarding her online are about statements by her, and not statements about her. If there are more sources that are actually about her then maybe things would be different. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So this article is not much Cruze but all Ramsey -- is that what you're saying? Sure seems to me to focus pretty much on Cruze, maybe 80% of the text.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 09:47, 12 August 2015 (UTC) Or what about this source -- seems pretty much like all Cruze.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 09:58, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: I admire folks such as yourself who can change their minds. After all, I've been there done that.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And where's the reliably sourced evidence that "not paying allowances to children" is a notable concept that's taken root as a thing that's meaningfully discussed by sources other than her? That criterion doesn't give a notability freebie in the absence of reliable source coverage to every single person who ever had an original thought — it still requires RSes to document that their idea has meaningful currency in public discourse. Bearcat (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, having read the article it appears as if the co-authored book Smart Money, Smart Kids may be notable but Cruze possibly isn't. Having appeared on a number of tv shows is what a lot of writers of books that become a no. 1 nytimes bestseller usually do (doing the talk show circuit,) that doesn't make them notable. Coolabahapple (talk) 18:50, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What? The book did not make speeches or get interviewed by reporters.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:57, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Making speeches and getting interviewed by reporters don't count for anything toward whether a person passes WP:GNG or not. A person gets over GNG by having other people talk or write about them in reliable sources, and not by talking or writing about themselves. An interview is permissible for verification of facts after the notability has already been covered off by other sources — but if the interview subject's basic notability is still in question, then the interview doesn't contribute anything toward resolving that. Bearcat (talk) 15:50, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cruze is regarded as an authority on personal finance, which is why she has been extensively quoted, and there are articles here and here which clearly focus on her and her crusade for greater financial literacy and sensible spending habits. What more do you need? Do you want in-depth discussion on Cruze's personal stuff, like where she lives, what she eats, her family relations (although her story about growing up 'Ramsey' is interesting, arguably)? This does not make sense. Rather, what is interesting is her views on personal finance. And here she's had a major impact. For me, that's a better way to assess notability -- impact -- clearly Cruze has advanced public discussion on saving, substituting debit cards for credit cards, budgeting, no allowances for children, buying houses, etc. Like, if you had to list the nation's top seven authorities on personal finance, especially as it relates to families, Cruze would be on that list. Clearly she's notable.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:34, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I can't see that the Chicago Tribune article makes the claim that Cruze or her parents invented the concept of making children earn money rather than giving them an allowance - which would have been a very peculiar claim, since it's not a new idea at all. None of the concepts mentioned in the article originated with Ramsey or Cruze, and they are not credited as the inventors, either. They are simply the authors of a book discussing ideas that have been around for a long time. (See, for instance, this survey from 2012, two years before the Ramsey-Cruze book was published, which states that "The vast majority of parents [in the United States] do require their children to earn their allowance.") --bonadea contributions talk 12:59, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but Cruze has popularized the parental strategy of not giving allowances without work being done. Remember, as contributors to Wikipedia, it is not our job to rethink the decisions of editors and newspapers and magazines, who clearly agree that Cruze is notable enough to write about her, quote her, do in-depth reporting on her, consider her as an authority on the subject of personal finance; there are 12 references in the article as of August 17 2015. Nor should we second-guess the public when by its purchases, it brings a book to the top of the NY Times bestseller list. Rather, we should defer to the community's guideline which says If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. And that is the case here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sources in article sufficiently demonstrate notability. The Chicago Tribune article especially, it is a reliable source that was written about her. Yes, it talks extensively about her book and quotes her extensively, but it's far from a self-published source, or a book review. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources as required by the guideline, seems to be rather widely recognized as a financial expert, and has written a New York Times bestseller. She therefore quite plainly passes the WP:GNG. --Biblioworm (talk) 21:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a hoax (though a good enough one that the blatant prong of CSD G3 renders it inapplicable) and if it's not, then it appears to be unverifiable. Scrolling through the results of a a Google Books' search for "Jeffrey Boehm", there's not one that could be about this topic. Yet, given the claims in the article, you would think there would be at least mentions. The article claims he was "decorated for valor at the Battle of Grenada".

  • Delete -- I am not convinced that this is a hoax. It reads to me like what someone found while researching their family history. There are several things in it that I do not think are quite right. I do not think there were awards for valour at that period. However promotion form the lower deck was unusual, but not unknown and promotion may have been the award mentioned. Describing him as being promoted to 2nd and then 1st lieutenant is a misunderstanding: there was only one rank. The senior lieutenant in a ship was 1st lieutenant, the next 2nd lieutenant and so on. However these are understandable mistakes for an amateur researcher to make. The role of his vessel at Trafalgar cannot be quite right, but a brig, which transmitted (rather than translated), messages would be credible. Such vessels were stationed out of the line of battle, where they could see the Admiral and repeat his signals. Nevertheless, while his career is interesting, I see no evidence of his being a notable officer. I searched the National Maritime Museum and The National Archives websites and found nothing relevant. However that does not prove this to be a hoax as the archives may not be listed in sufficient detail for him to be mentioned. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:14, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I was going to nominate it myself when I noticed someone else had, searches found absolutely nothing. The fact this has never been edited, sources or information, is concerning and the author was a SPA. Recently, I've been searching for old articles like these that get lost in the midst such as this one because all signs are saying this is fabricated. I agree with Peterkingiron in that it may simply be a family history but there's nothing to save this and even Henry Gaston Bunn which I improved recently had better sources. SwisterTwister talk 18:23, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Chances are strong that this is a hoax. A few thoughts:
    • No references exist for HMS Lamerton in connection with the Battle of the Saintes. The actual Lamerton was built in 1940 for use in World War II.
    • No evidence has been found that the Royal Navy ever included a "supply ship," or any other kind of ship, called HMS Vargas. Among other sources, no ship by this name exists at List of ship names of the Royal Navy (U–Z).
    • The Battle of Trafalgar, of course, is extensively documented, and the National Archives' database includes no record of any individual named Boehm in the Royal Navy for this battle. Significantly, the Pickle's commander John Richards Lapenotière is included, demonstrating that the National Archives contain muster roll information for the Pickle but that Boehm's name is not found there.
    • For what it is worth, van Welks does not appear to be a surname in actual use, and the only Google hits for "Elizabeth van Welks" are in this article.
    • A 2014 edit [21] even declared the article a hoax, but was automatically reverted.

On the whole, the available information seems to point to a long-lived hoax. Calamondin12 (talk) 00:07, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and shovel the dirt over it: This is an amateur rec league team, according to its (last updated two years ago) FB site. The links in the article are broken, and there are zero Google News hits, never mind any which would fail WP:ROUTINE. Hell, there aren't any hits on the Irish Google: [22]

    ... and on that Facebook site, one of the last posts was "Wolves training session tomorrow night at The Living Room sports bar just off O'Connel St, starts at about 9pm," which I present without further comment. Ravenswing 05:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Mmm, I'll pick a point here: minor league teams are almost always highly notable, with hundreds or thousands of sources which satisfy the GNG, the tendency of certain sports WikiProjects to disparage the minors as worthless notwithstanding. This, however, wasn't a minor league team -- it would have to had climbed up several rungs to get that far. This appears to have been a beer league squad.

  • Delete no news stories about him linked in article and he isn't notable enough RbAxM33320 (talk) 07:38, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Delete. He doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:PROF with the current references, which contain no substantial content about the subject. A google news search provided no additional evidence. However, a google scholar search returned that his work has been cited 434 times overall (since 2007), and 359 since 2010. I am not conversant enough to know if that is good or bad, but it appears that it might mean that he meets Criteria #1 of WP:PROF. If I'm wrong about the number of cites (in other words, 359 is a low number), than I would argue for delete. Onel5969 TT me 12:32, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Onel5969 the important number is the H-index, which for Munasinghe is only twelve, which is fairly low - what you'd normally expect from an associate professor. I would normally expect at least 40 for someone notable as an academic. Dan arndt (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Response Thanks Dan arndt - Wasn't sure so I figured someone would answer that question for me. Will bear that in mind as a guideline in the future. Based on that, I've changed my assessment above. Onel5969 TT me 16:26, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
