PROD deleted. Per WP:NFF, hasn't entered principal photography. Only reference is passing mention of franchise and IMDb. Last substantial mention from 2010 so no current indication even in development. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Irritated Keep Delete - The lack of adequate sourcing when the article was created has again put us in this position. A three and a half year-old reference would normally suggest this is a vapor project, and would at best belong as a footnote in the main article. IMDb ref doesn't count for all the regular reasons. Coverage from 2013 is more recent but didn't convey much about the project. I found this reference, which is from 2014 and announces a proposed release date of October 16, 2016, however nobody had yet been cast and no director had been attached. Variety indicated an October 7, 2016 release back in May 2014. A January 2015 Variety article mentions Monster High will be pitted against Gambit in March 2016, which is also supported by this Jan 2015 source and this Jan 2015 source. Anyhow, while there isn't much news about specifics, the projects seem to have some steam. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the WP:NFF says we need info that project has entered principal photography for an article to be created. "Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun." At most this should be a section at Monster High until then. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Point noted. I did a lot of searching to see if I could find any indication that principal photography had begun. I was not successful. Seems like it must have if they have a release date early next year, but my assumptions obviously have no bearing here, and we are in no hurry to include the information. Modifying !vote. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:32, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Merge per the notability guidelines for future films, which states that stand-alone articles should be created after the start of filming. Before this threshold, there is no guarantee of an actual production. Development details can be summarized at Monster High, and if filming begins, a stand-alone article can be restored. Another approach, if desired, is to create Draft:Monster High (film) and maintain it until it is ready to be placed in the mainspace. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:19, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Changed from delete to merge, which is probably the better approach where page history is preserved and a stand-alone article can be quickly re-established if filming does begin as planned. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: As per WP:NFF, no source says that the principal photography has even started yet. It should be merged with the Monster High article until it's ready to be a standalone article. Esquivalience t 13:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Monster High – Films and TV specials. Per WP:NFF, "Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available". NORTH AMERICA1000 21:01, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only claim to fame is being an assistant US attorney for west Louisiana and a failed Senate candidate; does not meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG (the only non-trivial coverage is a local obituary). OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wrong, if you had read the full article, you would see that he prosecuted Louisiana Hayride as an asst. U.S. attorney but was U.S. attorney from 1941 to 1950. Billy Hathorn (talk) 19:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:NPOL says nothing about US Attorneys, and lacking WP:GNG coverage, there isn't anything in this article that meets notability guidelines. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I challenge you to find articles in the US Attorney category where that was their only claim to fame. Furthermore, you are willfully ignoring WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an AfD argument over and over again. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:30, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would disagree that this list is what it purports to be - Clayton was a federal judge and DiBiagio was caught in the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. However, the question we have with this subject is not that it is a quality, well sourced article but that they rely primarily on local sources on subjects that would not normally meet WP:POLITICIAN. WP:NEWSORG states "News reporting from less-established outlets is generally considered less reliable for statements of fact." I think many commenters question the reliance of local sources since many local papers frequently reprint press releases without any fact-checking or the coverage is WP:ROUTINE. The other question is whether the articles are about the subject or whether they cover the subject in some depth. I think the burden is on the creator of the page to ultimately show there "is something unusual about the subject, or something that may be encyclopedic" (for an international audience) WP:MILL. My sense, overall, is that Wikipedia may not be the appropriate place for these articles that have come up for AfD the past few weeks. Instead, they appear to be painting a picture of Louisiana politics in the 1930s that may be missing from our traditional understanding of the dominance of Huey Long and his machine. The problem is that each individual piece may not meet WP:GNG but the larger project has tremendous value. Enos733 (talk) 08:29, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Correction I rechecked, and W. H. H. Clayton was not a federal judge but the U.S. attorney for Judge Isaac Parker in Fort Smith, Arkansas.Billy Hathorn (talk) 15:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    (1) WP:MILL is an essay and it happens to be a load of rubbish that makes no sense at all and has nothing to do with our actual notability criteria. There is no burden of proof on the page creator. AfD has a presumption against deletion, and if there is a burden of proof, NRVE and BEFORE appear to place it on those arguing for deletion, by requiring them to conduct a thorough search for sources. (2) I doubt that generalisations about what many local papers do is relevant. I am more interested in what the particular paper in question actually does.

  • Keep US Federal District Attorneys are default notable. This is a major appointment with lots of influence and power. Plus Lafargue's role in investigations as an assistant USDA would probably also make him notable. The District attorney is more notable than district judges, since there is one attorney and multiple judges. We don't have articles on most USDAs, but that lack in coverage means we need more aritcles, not that we should delete the ones we have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:28, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep, one of a rather vast amount of badly-sourced (or, in this case, unsourced) articles on Bangladeshi cinema by Sadman Sakibzz. Some might be on notable subjects, and Amit Hasan apparently is one of them. I expect a search for Bengali sources may prove helpful. English-language sourcing is very thin, but if him giving a TV interview is worth a newspaper article, I'd expect more detailed coverage to exist somewhere. For now I've rewritten the article in its entirety. Huon (talk) 11:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Two Colorado disambiguation pages. There is no place called "Cheyenne, Colorado". There's no article page that links to Cheyenne, Colorado.
    • The items on the page were moved with the new List of places named Cheyenne, a {{set index article}} as also discussed at the disambiguation project page.
    • Also based upon the discussions there, the Cheyenne (disambiguation) page was edited to just include true disambiguation items, and namesakes were moved to Places named after the Cheyenne.

      • I just noticed this comment: "CaroleHenson seems to have an obsession for deleting redirects"- that's a misguided and inaccurate statement. I have been working on clean-up of a number of articles where inaccurate names were used and/or incorrect use of disambiguation pages, which is what "Cheyenne, Colorado" was. There is no "Cheyenne, Colorado" and there are several disambiguation pages and a list page for Places named Cheyenne (nw cleaned up/created as a work-around for inappropriate use of a disambig page). In this work, I think I've worked on deletion of 3 pages related to disamb-turned-to-redirect scenarios and had agreement from the Disambiguation project and administrators. I thought the direction that I received to use {{db-dab}} for disambig pages that had nothing on them once the inappropriate info was removed was the right way to go...since nothing links there.
      • This is just the tippy-top and miniscule issue in the whole scheme of the needed rewrites, and frustrated about how an editor can take things side-ways, remove good cited content from reliable sources, replace it with inaccurate or misguided interprettation of the information, and then it's becomes a complicated issue to resolve what I consider a really minor aspect (wrongly named pages), apparently through multiple forums.

  • Keep. There are three possible entries for a dab page - Cheyenne County, Colorado, Cheyenne Mountain and Cheyenne Creek. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:30, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Cheyenne (disambiguation) or Delete, with a slight preference for the former. There isn't any place in Colorado that is known simply as "Cheyenne." The three entries that User:Clarityfiend mentions are WP:PTMs, because no one would refer to the county, mountain, or creek as simply "Cheyenne," the suffix is always attached. I have a preference to redirect (even though it is technically incorrect), due to the fact that it is plausible that someone would search for "Cheyenne, Colorado." Tavix |  Talk  23:30, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply. Not so. People routinely say "I climbed Everest" or "They crossed the Mississippi". The county's a bit borderline, but within the realm of possibility. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • But would anyone ever say "I climbed "Cheyenne, Colorado" or "I crossed the Cheyenne, Colorado"? olderwiser 02:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • So one alternative is to redirect to a dab page which, according to Tavix, has no matches? Clarityfiend (talk) 01:27, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. None of the potential entries are ever likely to be referred to as "Cheyenne, Colorado". If not deleted, it should redirect to the Cheyenne (disambiguation) as incomplete disambiguation. olderwiser 02:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a useful disambig solely confined to Colorado geographical subjects (whereas the main Cheyenne disambig will necessarily include native-American subjects, etc). Pax 08:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Cheyenne (disambiguation). Dab pages which duplicate subsets of others are usually a bad idea, as any new item will be added randomly to one or the other but probably not to both. PamD 09:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment On verifiability, I personally believe that Monstercat is suitable for Wikipedia — although it may not have as recently as a year ago. Huffington Post and Billboard have written articles specifically about Monstercat, and The Verge has written one that discusses the label in more than passing (albeit the main subject is Twitch). On "spamming"... I haven't been watching this page's history, but Monstercat does have an unusually wide (and young) fanbase for a record label, and it wouldn't surprise me if a few of their fans were just a bit too eager to get the label onto Wikipedia. In my opinion, that doesn't warrant deleting the page — at worst, it could perhaps benefit from semi-protection until notability has been unambiguously established. I would be very surprised if the label itself were responsible for any substantial activity on the page. Fraxtil (talk) 01:51, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated for deletion last year with little input, closed as no consensus. The keep rationale was "keep for now," and we now know that this never actually happened.

  • Delete – The sources are OK, but the subject doesn't meet the criteria at WP:SOLDIER. One snippet in Books that says he was also a member of an acrobatic team. So he was an elite pilot in the Pakistani Air Force with one victory?

Three one-line mentions of the event, plus one rather more detailed description of the event, published in a magazine called Defense Journal (here registration required) and reprinted on a blog. The blog entry quotes recollections by Sufi but doesn't give a source. So it looks like WP:ONEEVENT, the event being one of the few victories in a losing battle.

In English "one room" is a noun phrase with the obvious meaning; in Japanese and (evidently) Korean, (subject to the appropriate phonetic modification) it is a noun meaning a particular sort of rented accomodation. There could be an entry in Wiktionary for "one room" in J/K; there might also be an article in WP on "Terminology for rented accomodation in East Asia" (or something more general). Of course English speakers living in J/K may well say "I live in a one room", despite the grammatical infelicity, but given that "one room flat" already refers to the same general concept, I do not see that there is any encyclopedic topic here.

The available sources are exclusively local, as the subject is of exclusively local interest and significance. Currently WP:AUD does not allow articles that have no national-level sources, though I see from the Talk page that aspect of the guideline is under discussion and some are voting to delete that part of the guideline. I think the article should be discussed for deletion, though I am not sure which way I am voting specifically. CorporateM (Talk) 13:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Plenty of sources about shopping center to prove its notability. Just because they are local sources and not national sources does not mean much as most shopping centers and malls do not get covered in national sources unless they are well-known like the Mall of America or a major event happens at it that captures national attention. Using WP:AUD as a guideline for deletion is not the best argument as a lot of things are notable locally or regionally and should not be deleted simply on the fact they haven't been covered in national sources. Dough4872 14:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:AUD. No coverage beyond local; articles such as this might demonstrate notability for local shoppers but not for anyone beyond a thirty mile radius of this very nice part of Pennsylvania. I'm a big fan of a lot of local shops and businesses, and all of them get coverage in the local paper. Every time the owners burp they gets their names in the paper. Every lawsuit is chronicled. Every zoning variance covered in detail. Shall we have an article on them? Coretheapple (talk) 14:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Over 95% of shopping malls do not get much press coverage outside of a 30 mile radius. If you are saying this article should be deleted then we should delete most shopping mall articles. Most people in California have little interest in news concerning this mall whereas most people in Pennsylvania have little interest in news concerning malls in California. What would probably be a better measurement of notability of shopping centers is how much it is covered in local media, as that is generally where most of the stories of most malls come from. If a mall receives frequent coverage in local media (like this mall and most of the dominant malls within a given metropolitan area), then it is notable enough for its own article. If the mall of shopping center does not get much coverage in local media other than advertisements or the occasional news story (like the average strip mall), then it should probably be deleted and not have its own article. Dough4872 01:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think it's fair to say that the average, unremarkable strip mall would not be notable. Coretheapple (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, and I think that editors may want to peruse previous shopping mall article deletion discussions, of which there are quite a few. I don't think that an AfD is an optimal place to discuss which shopping mall articles are and are not worth deleting, and to be frank I think that a bit of research on the issue was warranted before this AfD, which is why I tagged it rather than starting an AfD.

I'm not familiar enough with our standards for shopping mall articles, which is why I felt the discussion would be enhanced through an AfD, but looking at Category:Shopping malls in Pennsylvania, it does seem like the community has been accepting of articles about routine shopping malls. Many editors contribute to Wikipedia almost exclusively regarding items of local interest and I believe we also have a lot of articles about local lakes or other geographic landmarks that are not of any particular significance. CorporateM (Talk) 15:17, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that "other stuff exists" is necessarily a persuasive argument. Richland Town Centre is sourced to a press release and a blogspot blog. There's a lot of crap in Wikipedia to be sure. I wouldn't put articles about lakes or geographical features in the same category as glorified press releases. Coretheapple (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The quality of the current version of the article is not a reason to delete it if the topic itself is worth inclusion. There seems to be enough content here that merging into spaced repetition and second-language acquisition would not be a good idea. It also seems to be a bad idea to merge it with the company Pimsleur Language Programs. Pimsleur published quite a bit about his method (long before it was commercialized) and is also cited in the language learning literature.

I think it's time to give some scrutiny to this couple. For one, both articles are by a single-purpose account, and the de Menils are wealthy, which together strongly suggest some form of COI editing. And then there's the problem of sourcing. Various grand claims are made on behalf of both, but the articles are basically unsourced. For George, the citations are simply to his books (no page numbers, either). For Lois, basically the same thing. In short, we don't have independent evidence that either of these figures is notable, as defined by WP:BIO. - Biruitorul Talk 17:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a 1986 New York Times profile of the family here. Leaning toward keep but put all of these articles on a diet. Opabinia regalis (talk) 10:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. WP:NACTOR asks for multiple significant roles. This being her first role makes a very much WP:TOOSOON. Also the drama just aired its first episode this Monday (Feb 9), hence seriously doubting how much can be discussed even for this role as of now. No prejudice of recreation when (1) reviews of this show come out and/or (2) she got more prominent roles.

Might merit an article based on his acting career, but I'm not familar enough with the shows he appeared in to say whether he had any significant roles, and the section would require better references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenedictineMalediction (talkcontribs) 20:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This website is a bit of an oddity. A Google news search for its name brings up many many hits on its own website, all related to the Indian automotive industry, and a web search brings up a smattering of maybe reliable news hits that mention the site. As I don't have enough knowledge of the motor industry or India, I think AfD is the best place to discuss what we do with it. An article with this title has been at AfD before, but I can't easily tell if it was the same thing. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The problem I have with most, if not all of those sources is the "non-trivial" bit. All of them are about the Indian motor industry, and have a brief mention to someone in Motoroids giving a passing mention on the subject in hand. What I could really do with is something that actually talks specifically about Motoroids itself. One of the problems I have with AfD is despite the mantra of "It's not cleanup", its an excellent opportunity to clean up the article, but without some good solid sources that have Motoroids as their main topic, not just as a soundbite, I'd struggle to be able to write anything. @Titodutta: - can you help? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think, you are looking for sources that are fully centric on subject and seeking to establish GNG. But there is another criteria, particularly for websites, a website may be considered worthy of inclusion per WEBCRIT#1, -if its content has been published by multiple independent, reliable sources. IB Times and Silicon India are reputable reliable sources -who has published contents of Motoroids website, [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [more]. There are some hits on HighBeam too -[30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [more].
I am not sure what can we do with these sources, but subject appears to be satisfying our inclusion criteria. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 14:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll dig through IB Times and see what I can do, but to me it's a phyrric victory if this AfD closes as "Keep" but the article still cites little more than itself, Facebook or Alexa, wouldn't you say? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
hmm.. I am unsure but you don't seem to be agreeing with NWEB guideline. It is a reasonable query that why would a newspaper, magazine or web portal write about one among them. What is one supposed to receive is 'mention', -about their contents in other reliable media independent of them and that's my core point (like this).
If there are presently some sort of unreliable sources used in the existing article, we can fix that in a single edit either by removing them or replacing with a better one. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 16:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm exhausted. I've been through about 5-6 pages each of web, news and book searches just to find a source that is specifically about Motoroids, briefly discusses its history, its popularity, and any famous controversies - but I can't find anything beyond articles about other things that say "Motoroid's 'x' says 'y'". The best source I've found is this one and that has one paragraph that says little more than "motoroids is a motoring website and forum". That's it. To me, that fails WP:WEBCRIT, specifically "trivial coverage, such as: a brief summary of the nature of the content". I'm not trying to be a grumpy old deletionist here; seriously, if you can point me in the direction of a couple of sources that have Motoroids as their main topic, I will happily improve the article myself and withdraw this AfD. But until I find them, that can't happen. Sorry. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Last comment, I'm not willing to go farther. If "Motoroids" is published as main topic, it would meet GNG. If their contents have been published as main topic, it would meet WEBCRIT#1 [a policy specially for websites]. I am arguing for latter one (one example.).
Here you are asking to delete it because it doesn't meet GNG, I'm to keep it because it does meet NWEB. If we had to determine notability of websites by GNG, we would not have NWEB at first place. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 21:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined PROD. Rationale was "incomplete, questionable notability" and endorsed with "Fails WP:GNG as systems of county roads, or the individual roads, are rarely the subject of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and no sources are provided here to refute that conclusion" –Fredddie 03:47, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article itself provides references to secondary sources that not only establish this sort of list as a notable topic, but also provides each of the entries on the list. This is not original research, it appears to be combining multiple secondary sources of a notable topic in one place-- or, in less verbose terms, it's an encyclopedia article.

  • Keep tentatively. I filled out the references already in the article -- they are Reuters and Guardian news articles reporting on widely known information -- and they seem reliable. The topic seems "important" and covered as a topic. Wikipedia is good for developing/maintaining lists like this; this is just a start. --doncram 21:28, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I further added more studies on the overall topic: Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal. It's a recurring topic, valid for an article, meets wp:LISTN. The facts for individual firms, not yet very well developed as list-items yet, can be provided from public financial statements, which are audited, reliable records of what they report. I strike the tentativeness in my vote; it is a clear "Keep" i believe. --doncram 22:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Selective) Merge and redirect to Tax_avoidance#United_States. This seems to be an article concentrating on one overly particular type of corporate tax avoidance, which is certainly not unique to the USA. A general article on corporate tax avoidance may be useful, but something as overly specific as this seems unnecessary. At best, the name of this article is wrong, because the companies using this form of tax avoidance will constantly change, therefore be difficult to keep track of. Sionk (talk) 18:50, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Selective) Merge and redirect to Tax_avoidance#United_States. Part of a campaign by the creator of the article to use Wikipedia for advocacy. There is an accompanying category also up for deletion, here. Jytdog (talk) 21:31, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The existence of the article simply supports a WP:SOAPBOX position that there is something insidious about companies engaging in fully legal tax minimization strategies. Congress can change the law at any time, and has not done so. Formerly 98 (talk) 01:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: update I and perhaps others have edited the article to include more sources, after some of the votes above, including describing a number of studies specifically on this topic. It's a notable topic. I agree, definitely, that the article should be kept impartial, should state both sides of any arguments about what should be done with the untaxed profits, but the article did not and does not include any controversial assertions at all. It's useful to state there is debate, e.g. included now "As the Wall Street Journal notes, the "[u]ntaxed foreign earnings are part of a contentious debate over U.S. fiscal policy and tax code." Also it is very doable to list the 60 or 70 companies having the greatest amounts, in a big table yet to be developed. Dot-point list is fine to start. This topic has been in the news for years and will stay in the news. Wikipedia is good at providing factual info on important topics like this article can. --doncram 19:04, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - there look to be sufficient sources for this but it needs a very carefully articulated inclusion criteria and standards for sourcing. Otherwise there are serious concerns for it's maintainability and the extent to which it could attract POV and OR. No prejudice against renomination down the road if it proves untenable in that regard, but for now it looks doable. It should also be renamed to reflect being a list (being a list is what justifies keeping it rather than merge to tax avoidance). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable (but widely spammed) software. All references seem to be non-reliable sources and/or articles by/interviews with the developers. Psychonaut (talk) 11:17, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Psychonaut: The article provides multiple reference sources, and they are certainty not only by the developers themselves, such as an article in Dr. Dobb's Journal, interview with John Carmack on Gamasutra etc. The topic is certainly not less notable then in most of the articles for C++ tools on List of tools for static code analysis. Is this Red Lizard Software article more notable then the discussed one? Certainly not! If article on PVS-Studio has to be deleted, then more that a half of tools from this should be deleted as well.--PaulEremeeff (talk) 11:46, 22 January 2015 (UTC) PaulEremeeff (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
The Dr. Dobb's article was written by Andrey Karpov, a PVS-Studio developer. The Carmack references are to Twitter posts or to interviews where he mentions PVS-Studio only in passing. None of these count as reliable sources establishing the notability of the tool. If you feel you've found other articles on tools which also fail to meet our inclusion criteria, that's not an argument for keeping this one; please nominate those articles for deletion as well. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How is that Dr. Dobb's or Gamasutra are not reliable, as both a well-established and published sources made by professionals. An interview with the developer was certainly reviewed by a professional editor before publication. Targeting this particular tool for the deletion, ignoring dozens of similar precedents, as well as groundless accusations of tools's developers in spamming, looks as a bias of a particular user against the topic in question.PaulEremeeff (talk) 12:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your first question, please read our policy and guideline on reliable sources and notability. Regarding the spamming, I never accused the developers of this (though now that you mention it, I do wonder how anyone else would have any motivation for doing so). The PVS-Studio website is, in fact, currently blacklisted from the English Wikipedia for spamming, and requests to have it removed from the blacklist have been rejected. —Psychonaut (talk) 12:50, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A have read this and I've found the source to be reliable. It is up to the moderator now to determine the correct side of this question. As I understand, requests for removing PVS-Studio website from the blacklist were rejected based on the lack of an established user supporting this notion, and not because of the malware activity on part of the aforementioned site. The motivation for spamming a particular website can be found in a bias of third-party malevolent person. It is similar to proposing the deletion of one particular article, while ignoring other precedents.PaulEremeeff (talk) 13:01, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Would you happen to be the same Paul Eremeev who is employed by PVS? If so, please make sure you read, understand, and comply with our policy on paid contributions and with our conflict of interest guideline. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am indeed the same person, as I do not hide my identity, as some other users. Does being employed by a certain company prohibits me from contributing? Because all I can see now is the misrepresentation of the sources I've provided as an advertisement and a bias toward one particular article, even if the presented sources themselves are independent and the interested party has no ability to influence them. And I am certainly not paid for my contributions, as my employer derives no profit from being present on Wikipedia, our online resources even being unfairly blacklisted as you've mentioned earlier.PaulEremeeff (talk) 16:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If you want a reliable source and point of view: http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/ under the 'Other static analysis tools'. I am not involved in PVS-Studio, but I am a programmer and I find the average information about static tools poor and badly written. In the PVS-Studio page I always find competent writers about serious programming. Thanks for your consideration, --Hedoluna (talk) 09:30, 3 February 2015 (UTC) Hedoluna (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
    • The entirety of the text on that page about PVS-Studio is as follows: "One other tool you can use is PVS-Studio. There is a comparison of Cppcheck and PVS-Studio and we believe it's a good and honest comparison. PVS-Studio is commercial, however there is a free trial." The comparison linked to is authored by the PVS-Studio developers themselves. I don't see how either of these documents count as reliable references for the purposes of establishing notability. —Psychonaut (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Notability in a small field as C++ static code analysis could be quite hard to prove, for every tool out there. I think there are maybe 1 out of 1000 programmers who are into the field. May you please a link towards a good C++ static code analysis page that you think is notable? This could be really speedup the process. Thanks in advance. --Hedoluna (talk) 10:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • I don't see why notability would be any easier or harder to prove for this topic than for any other—that's what the general notability guideline is for. I can understand why, for purposes of comparison, you'd like to see an example of an article on an indisputably notable static analyzer for C++, but unfortunately I don't think we have any at the moment. (We do have Clang, though that's a complete compiler front-end rather than a dedicated static analysis tool, and in any case its sourcing is also very poor.) —Psychonaut (talk) 10:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking independent coverage in reliable sources. As above, the article has a number of references, but they do not meet the threshold of significant independent coverage for a range of reasons. The Dr. Dobb's article was written by a PVS-Studio developer. and is not independent. sourceforge.net/ is edited by community members and has no editorial oversight or policy, thus not RS. The other coverage is all incidental mentions or blogs/non-WP:RS sites.Dialectric (talk) 01:16, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of tools for static code analysis (that article's contents should be tabled, btw, and much of its blue-link contents could probably be bundled into this AfD): Article reads like WP:ADMASQ.

This article also has some concerns with WP:COI brought up at User talk:VIL12345678.

  • Keep Hi Guys I am quite new to this, so bear with me please. There have been a number of recent improvements. I believe this article should be retained because of the following: According to WP:Band, in order for a band to pass they must meet at least one of the criteria. Having looked across a variety of sources, I’ve found that the band satisfies three of these (1,4, and 12). Please find these points as follows with their respective references: 1).The band Has been the subject of multiple published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self published, and are independent from the ensemble. This includes newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] 4).The band has received non-trivial coverage independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country: a)EXIT Festival (Serbia)[12], b)Arenal Sound Festival (Spain)[13][14]Both of these festivals are reliable sources, i.e. EXIT Festival was officially crowned as the ‘Best Major European Festival at the EU Festival Awards in 2014. It has also been awarded ‘Best Overseas Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards in 2007 and was ranked one of the 10 best major festivals at European Festivals Awards in the year 2009,2010,2011,and 2012. In 2013, EXIT and was awarded ‘Best Major Festival Award’[15]. Arenal Sound has been described as an 80,000 people capacity festival. It takes place on the beaches of Arenal Beach in Castellon, Spain.[16][17][18]. 12)The band has been a featured subject of substantial broadcast segment across national radio or TV network:[19] I’ve managed to come across a host of other national television sources however I do not consider them reliable as they have been self published by the band and therefore not usable in the case of Wikipedia.

  • Eh. Arsenal Fest and EXIT Festival are big international festivals, so I suppose that points at a "documented international tour," which fulfills part of WP:MUSBIO #4 (Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.) Looks to me like the English coverage is trivial so far, though (this band needs to hire a better publicist). Unless better sources are found, I say Userfy or delete, and dust off/repost later this year if there's more coverage.

  • Delete for a number of reasons:
    • The sourcing doesn't justify an article. We have one AP obituary (for whatever reason quoted from various news outlets), one interview in Adevărul, and a bunch of cruft.
    • His achievements don't justify keeping the article, either. As far as I can tell, everything he did aside from the jet pack is fluff. As to the jet pack itself, well, there's actually a book on jet packs from Chicago Review Press, which addresses Capră in a chapter called "origin hoaxes". Quote: "as with his jet pack, there was no evidence shown to prove that any of his unconventional flying machines ever actually got off the ground. Capră eventually gave numerous interviews to newspapers and magazines in Romania and many articles have appeared there about the Romanian inventor of the jet pack.... Capră's claim of inventing the jet pack was widely believed in Romania, though nowhere else". And I think that says it, in a nutshell. He was an amateur inventor, and later a determined self-promoter, who dabbled into something like a jet pack, but didn't actually invent one, but his claims resonated in a country that loves to think it's responsible for various major inventions, and doubly so once he took on the line that "the Americans" stole his idea.
    • The text is so chaotic that WP:DYNAMITE deserves to apply in any case.
  • As an alternative, we might perhaps consider a redirect to Jet_pack#Justin_Capr.C4.83.27s_flying_backpack, but that too ought to be thoroughly revamped in accordance with reliable claims made in reliable sources, rather than boosterism. - Biruitorul Talk 18:15, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

      • 1) More from the Lehto book: "Romanian National Geographic published an article in 2011 stating that Capra had been awarded a patent on July 8, 1958, but they did not make any claims about whether he ever built or flew the device he patented."
      • 2) That Lehto is an attorney, or that he starts out with certain assumptions (which most authors do, by the way), is not especially relevant. That he has no Wikipedia article is entirely irrelevant. What is relevant is that his book is published by a reputable publisher and has undergone standard editorial review.
      • 3) As Lehto notes, "There is no question that Capra built two jet-pack-like devices". So that's not at issue. But not every tinkerer is notable, and as I've indicated, what we have about him at jet pack is more than ample.
      • 4) With all due respect, being the subject of an exhibit at the Prahova County Natural Sciences Museum does not advance a claim of independent notability.
      • 5) Please note that the article that begins "A Romanian inventor who claimed he beat the Americans to make the world's first jetpack" is an AP report, reproduced verbatim in various press outlets. It's dishonest to claim that constitutes multiple sources. - Biruitorul Talk 01:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:DYNAMITE. While a few (credulous) RS seem to exist (the bulk of the references are clones), the article is an irredeemable mass of hoax/fringe nonsense at best and loony old-time communist propaganda at worst. There's no evidence this person made anything. Pax 01:02, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't care a bit if Capră is a hoaxer or not, FYI WP is full of articles about hoaxs and hoaxers, eg take a look at categories Impostors and Hoaxes in science. The subject has obviously received multiple reliable coverage, and valid sourcing includes the already cited chapter in the Steve Lehto's book The Great American Jet Pack: The Quest for the Ultimate Individual Lift Device which not just rebuts Capră's claims but is also itself a significant secondary reliable source about the subject. WP:UGLY is not a reason for deletion, and I suggest the editors who complain about the current state of the article to edit the article and to improve it as they see fit, they're welcome.

Fails GNG with a surfeit of local and trivial refs. It seems like an overactive PR director got write-ups in all the local freebies. The Bloomberg Businessweek ref is a standard company snapshot, and The Oregonian ref is a one-line note about an award. A major contributor to the article also appears to be a COI.

  • Strong keep - First of all, I wrote 95% of the article and I do not have a COI. I know you meant the article creator and not me, but please get your facts straight before making such statements. Basically none of his text still exists, maybe a sentence or two at most. Now, on to the relevant question - notability. The article already has 15 sources - about 10 are both not local (the company is based in Indiana, not Oregon, and there is actually no consensus that local sources are invalid anyway) and completely independent of the subject. Several are quite extensive (multiple pages); I find it amusing that a source that is not necessary to supports anything (Bloomberg, part of a multi-ref line) and a source that supports one whole line of the article (Oregonian) were singled out in an attempt to make the sourcing look like crap, while the extensive sources (which are decidedly not local) were ignored. And, for the record I only used about 10% of the sources I found.
In addition to to abundance of sources, the company is clearly important in their industry, and is not at all some local company. They operate about a dozen subsidiaries, 4 of which are notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. They employ 1000 people during peak months - an enormous amount for a catalog company. They control a huge percentage of the seed catalog industry - almost twice the sales of the next 4 largest companies combined: [39]. --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:39, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, a "standard profile" at Bloomberg is far from meaningless. It is not just stats, but rather includes an editorial description of the company. Bloomberg does not waste their editorial time writing up random/small companies, but rather it does write-ups on important industry players. I would guess the vast majority of the companies they have profiled are notable. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:14, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep First I want to state I have no relationship with this company or article. I saw it come up on the AFD listing. I read over the article and references. While I did think there was a good bit of semi-promotionalism in spots, I found that overall the article subject is covered over numerous verifiable reputable resources. In my view the piece in Bloomberg alone would make the article achieve notability, and in combination with other references in the article make it more than pass WP:GNG. The company itself is sort of a conglomerate now, and I can understand why Bloomberg did a piece on it. I have updated the article removing some of the cruft and puffiness that made the article seem semi-promotional at times. Some material was too intricate in detail for the average reader and gave the impression it was bragging about all the acquisitions. WordSeventeen (talk) 04:35, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - I don't see it. The 11 sources: [1], [2], and [3] are "Multichannel Merchant", which, as far as I can tell is a marketing company that publishes things about your company if you pay them. It's a little unclear, and I'm happy to be corrected, but it reads and looks like PR. [4] is primary. [5] is a brief mention (name the company, give their motto, been around more than a decade, excellent reputation). [6] is ok. a little coverage in a local pub which cites Multichannel Merchant. [7] is routine local business coverage (a store is closing, it's owned by Gardens Alive). [8] is the Bloomberg snapshot. [9] is a brief mention. [10] is a brief mention (granted, for winning a local award -- by local I mean coverage by a local rather than national-scale source). [11] is a trade organization award catalog type thing. If these constituted the entirety of sources about the subject it would be an easy delete -- all PR, routine industry business news, brief mentions -- but while I didn't turn up anything great it seems like there's more. Especially if, as above, they're one of the biggest in the seeds industry. I'd also add that while it may not have been written by someone with a COI, it has an "awards" style section and links prominently to an ad in the external links for crying out loud. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:49, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are completely wrong about Multichannel Merchant. It is an industry publication with an extensive history (including a print publication) and an editorial staff, not a pay-for-play operation. For example, they publish negative stories [40][41][42][43] where the company refuses to comment. Here are a few of today's headlines:
"USPS 1Q Shipping and Package Volume Increased 12.8%" - the post office surely is not paying for coverage
"Kate Spade Shutting Down Kate Spade Saturday Business" - a negative article that surely the company didn't ask to be published
"RadioShack's Chapter 11 Filing Includes Restructuring Plan" - Radioshack is not promoting their bankruptcy
"Possible Shutdown Looms Over West Coast Ports as Two Sides Engage in Brinksmanship" - no specific company would be paying for this
A reputation section is a standard part of an article - its not my fault Garden's Alive's press has been all positive. The "ad" in the external links section was an oversight on my part (i.e. accidentally left behind when cleaning up the original creator's article) and has now been removed. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:45, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have no reason to doubt you re: Multichannel Merchant. I've struck my !vote above accordingly. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think the article is sufficiently sourced as is, but there are many more in-depth articles available on Highbeam, so the article could even be expanded. --I am One of Many (talk) 06:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
