  • Keep He's actually not just an APS member, but an APS Fellow, which should be an easy pass of WP:PROF#C3. I've added the source, as well as one supporting an award from the Canadian Association of Physicists. Also has impressive citation records in Google Scholar (h-index of 46).

  • Keep. Clear passes of WP:PROF #1 (highly cited papers on Google scholar) and #3 (APS Fellow). The Herzberg Medal is for a younger researcher (within 12 years of Ph.D.) but still might be good for #2. Any one of these three criteria would be enough. As for the sourcing, it could still use help, but the medal and fellowship have now been properly sourced. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:12, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
EricEnfermero and David Eppstein, thanks for the references. I have removed my "delete" recommendation to reduce relisting. References that provide more context regarding the subject and his contributions would be nice, but at least the current references provide sufficient evidence of notability.--Rpclod (talk) 00:58, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of female visual artists from Vancouver[edit]

There are two reasons why this should be considered for deletion. The first, and more important, one is that this list consists predominantly of redlinks, sourced primarily to a directory which lists nearly every working artist in Canada. But having an article or being included in a list on Wikipedia is a matter of being able to properly source the topic's notability, not just being able to verify that they exist — so the mere fact that somebody has an entry in a directory, when that directory has over 42,000 people entered into it, does not in and of itself prove that they warrant Wikipedia's attention. And secondly, a list constrained by both the gender of the artist and the individual city where they reside is cutting things far too narrowly to be useful — a List of female visual artists from Canada unconstrained by city, or a List of visual artists from Vancouver unconstrained by gender, might be useful, but constraining for both gender and Vancouver is excessively granular. This would be perfectly valid in project or user space as a "potential future article topics" tracking list — but it's just not a thing we need in content space, especially if it consists mostly of directory-sourced redlinks who might never meet the standards necessary to qualify for Wikipedia articles.

  • Weak keep because though I agree on many of the points raised by Bearcat (a more general list would be useful, many of these 'notables' aren't notable etc.) Wikipedia has a fairly low bar for list articles. I think the list needs a good clean-up, removing the non-notables, but there are enogub genuine notables for the list to be valid. Sionk (talk) 23:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: notability not established by any means. Quis separabit? 19:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep notability easy concluded by using "find sources".--Zoupan 20:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: meets WP:BASIC, plenty of sources that are most likely significant coverage in non-English sources. Esquivalience t 23:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Big Delete (as of now) The (foreign language) reference is an interview which does nothing to verify the claims to notability (WP:N) put forth in the article. Both of the "Keep" comments are non-sequiturs. One implies that it's the job of reviewers or readers to find corroborating info. The other states that the article meets WP:BASIC without any explanation of HOW the requirement is met. Unless someone comes up with corroborating references/sources--time to delete. Tapered (talk) 02:40, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
^So... Why not be constructive instead of deleting it? Added English-language sources.--Zoupan 04:27, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
1) The title of this page is "Articles for Deletion!" 2) I edit pages that interest me and about which I know a bit. This doesn't qualify on either count. 3) First, you tell visitors to the page to be constructive without naming any sources--to wit, "go out and find the stuff" instead of providing the info yourself. Then when I point this out, you suggest that I, personally do it! If you're so interested, do it for yourself. 4) Are you familiar with the term 'chutzpah?' If not, know that you practice it at a high level. Tapered (talk) 23:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"I edit pages that interest me and about which I know a bit", so based on this (that you have no clue about this person), you assumed that the article should be "Big Deleted". There is a button – I did not ask you to personally do anything, but explained that there are plenty of sources showing notability.--Zoupan 23:46, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies for not acknowledging your improvement of the article. I've struck though my "Delete" recommendations. My reasoned and clear Deletion recommendation was based on Wikipedia notability and source guidelines--nothing else. It had nothing to do with my knowledge about the subject. But since I don't know much about him and am not at all interested in him, I'm under no obligation at all to research him. To suggest any more than that is the worst sort of polemics. Tapered (talk) 00:27, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Any more to say, please put on one of our Talk pages. Tapered (talk) 00:36, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tapered says, "But since I don't know much about him and am not at all interested in him, I'm under no obligation at all to research him." You don't know you are actually supposed to at least try to find sources before you recommend keep/delete based on WP:N...? (WP:MUST) If that sounds like an uninteresting chore for topics you don't know much about and are not interested in, you should roll on over to WP:DISCUSSAFD and get a load of this lifechanger: "You do not have to make a recommendation on every nomination; consider not participating if: A nomination involves a topic with which you are unfamiliar."

  • Delete This does not belong here as it is not actually a film, it a "non-existent 2009 film by American director Tobe Hooper that exists only in the confines of his novel, Midnight Movie". As it is a "film" never actually made, it fails WP:NF. However, the novel Midnight Movie might be worth an article, and this unmade project might then be spoken of there. Perhaps after deletion it can be redirected to the author Tobe Hooper. Schmidt, Michael Q. 10:16, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikimandia: might be worth adding a few of those to the article? Liam987 talk 19:28, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I'm at a complete loss as to why this was nominated for deletion and actually passed - this should be further scrutinized as an AfD that went wrong. I don't see how anyone could say there is no evidence of notability unless they did not actually search, or, their search term was specifically "Seth Goldman (businessman)" which, obviously, is going to fail. No reliable source is going to refer to him as Seth Goldman (businessman). —МандичкаYO 😜 21:42, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was also rather surprised. I've seen quite a few nominations closed well before a consensus is reached (I don't see anyone could think that one neutral vote and one delete vote is a consensus), but I understand that frequently AfD's are open for a long times with very little activity, as this one had been, so I can understand the rush to close them quickly.

This article fails to indicate any notability. Fails WP:BIO JayJayWhat did I do? 21:02, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep, I think this issue is the location and obscurity. I have found this source [1] and this source [2]. A school was named after him in his town. There should be sources which exist in books in Homer's libraries. Research regarding this person is also difficult he has a common name and is certain not the most notable person with this name. However, I am inclined to retain this because weight should be given to deceased historical figures from rural locations. Finding information regarding them is always more difficult, but this does not meet he is not notable. He died in 1988 and has had influence in his town Homer in Alaska. The obscurity of this location suggest that finding source on the internet maybe difficult, but it does not mean sources do not exist. World War II heros in populous cities with school named after them generally passes GNG. Valoem talk contrib 21:40, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for lack of verifiability. I checked WorldCat for all the cited sources (except the personal communication with a school teacher, which I removed), and I couldn't find any of them. If there are no published sources, then the topic does not meet WP:GNG either. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 09:03, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Routine coverage one expects to find in a local newspaper, alongside announcements of new pothole fixings and elections for the town dog-catcher. Man bites dog territory here. Tarc (talk) 16:41, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – I do agree with points made by Valoem. Yes, those offline sources do exist, some of them can even be found outside of Homer. Look at this from the perspective of mid-to-late 20th century Homer history. There is no mention of such in main article Homer, Alaska. Homer Public Library is dominated by fairly recent coverage of an architectural award given to its current building, though past reads of the aforementioned offline sources indicate that it was highly unusual for a community as small and remote as Homer to have a public library in the 1940s. There may have been something else about the unusual aspect of a homegrown community effort to establish the library, as many libraries existing in Alaska at that point were originally established by churches, particularly the Episcopal Church. Furthermore, WP:WTAF is most often interpreted as "Unless and until *you* write the article first, everything is bullshit and shouldn't be acknowledged on here". Persons interested in study on the aforementioned subtopic of Homer history needn't be misled into thinking that Banks is representative of the notable people of this era because someone bothered to write an article, but that Hazel Heath and Yule Kilcher and Leo Rhode aren't because no articles exist. Unfortunately in Kilcher's case, there's been an Internet POV floating around for longer than Wikipedia's existed that his notability should be measured more by the celebrity stature of his granddaughter than by his own accomplishments. I can't agree. If you're telling me that the signer of a state constitution isn't notable, perhaps I've been wasting my time in the wrong place all these years. Anyway...notifying Beeblebrox and DSwarthout, who are recently active and have identified as living in this community, of this discussion. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 17:57, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, this has been here for four years and I had no idea until just now. I don't know how much insight I can offer as this was all a bit before my time (I was ten years old and living in Ohio when he retired and they named the school after him) but I'll see if I can't locate some more substantial coverage. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:06, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As a long time resident of Homer I can tell you that Paul Banks is a well known name in town. Perhaps the younger, more recent arrivals will not know the provenance of the name of the school that honors him but then they may not know about Yule Kilcher either. While Mr. Banks doesn't have the reputation or importance of Kilcher, he did have an impact on the townspeople. It's interesting that people connect Yule with his granddaughter Jewel when it really should be the other way around. Yule was a true pioneer and spent his life in Homer while Jewel only stayed until she reached her late teens. At any rate, my vote is to keep the article intact. Alaska Dave (talk) 22:01, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a nice story and one that my uncle (lives close by in Happy Valley, coincidentally enough) have collaborated, but just being a locally famous person isn't enough to justify an encyclopedia entry. If reliable sources do not cover the subject sufficiently, then deletion should be the outcome here. I find this appeal to local denizens to be a form of illegitimate canvassing, to boot. Tarc (talk) 23:21, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm a young whippersnapper, "only" 42 years old and have "only" lived in Homer for 16 years. In any event, whatever we may think as locals who have of course all heard this name what matters, as always, is significant coverage from reliable sources. That seems to be what is eluding us here. The local papers don't have online archives going back that far, and even if they did they are just the local papers. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:45, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, he may well be a local celebrity and an all around worthy person, but the issue here is the lack of sources that can verify this. They might very well be in a filing cabinet in the Homer library, but sources we can't see or verify with are as good as useless. Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:28, 30 May 2015 (UTC).[reply]

  • Speedy delete as unambiguous spam. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The nomination fails to state a reason for deletion, which means this is potentially subject to a speedy keep. I'll assume, however, that the nominator's intended reason is lack of notability. Google reveals a small amount of press coverage of this 10-year-old charitable fundraiser, e.g. [12], but I haven't found enough to establish notability. I did stumble across a few sources referring to similar contests in other places [13] but again, I don't think there's enough in reliable sources to support an article. Unless someone else can provide more, this looks like it's headed for deletion. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:46, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Schmidt, this isn't an official production with GoAnimate, so a redirect isn't a good idea here. This is pretty much one of those deals where a couple of school age kids make their own film and then try to add it to Wikipedia. I seem to remember this getting deleted more than a few times already under different names and I think that at least one of the accounts were blocked, so this could be a block evasion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:53, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt. It looks like this is also tied to the account for User:StevenBInc, who was blocked for creating hoax pages and later tried to create several sockpuppets to evade a block. However there are potential ties to Bambifan101, so I've opened up the SPI under their name here. Either way, this is a pretty obvious attempt to evade a block. If this exists, it's something that was made by a couple of kids in their spare time and is not an official product of Go!Animate. (The claims of it being a blockbuster film are most assuredly a hoax. Earlier article versions tried to assert that this film was licensed by 20th Century Fox and was up for an Oscar.) This is about the 7th time this has been recreated and I'll guarantee that if this isn't salted, someone will try to re-create it in the future. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:50, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. A newsfeed announcing the premiere of an upcoming film does not establish notability at all. It's simply WP:TOOSOON for this article. De728631 (talk) 18:11, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep - Coverage in reliable sources is very sparse and superficial. There is no evidence that this film will ever be notable. Fails WP:NFILM. Passes WP:GNG based on newly-found sources. - MrX 18:35, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I worked on finding sources - I only added one but there are others. Obviously the Dominican Republic does not have a huge film industry, but I don't see why it would fail based on an upcoming film. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much the equivalent coverage as many upcoming English films. The director, producers, actors etc all have profiles, so have some notability.

  • Keep Many have done a great job of improving this article. WP:NFF states: "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines. Similarly, films produced in the past, which were either not completed or not distributed, should not have their own articles unless their failure was notable per the guidelines" [emphasis added]. However, additions since the nomination (including reliable citations seem to demonstrate that the general notability guidelines have been met. JoeSperrazza (talk) 14:23, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alansohn - Kenneth Gardner only designed a World Trade Center proposal, not the World Trade Center site that is currently under construction. His Twin Towers 2 design was favored by many people, but it was never constructed due to David Childs and Daniel Libeskind current design which was completed 2 years ago. Maybe that will change your mind about if the article should be deleted or not. Cheers. CookieMonster755 (talk) 22:49, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. It appears to me (after some digging through various commercial webpages) that, other than the Twin Towers design that did receive extensive attention, Gardner's main occupation has been as the builder of high-end architectural models for design and marketing. The website for his company (formerly The Gardner Group, now called Awad/Gardner Architectural Models) has a nice-looking gallery of some of these works (and they are very cool) but provides little other information, and I haven't been able to find anything in independent reliable sources about his business or anything other than the WTC project. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:41, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a google search is not enough to satisfy the requirements of notability for a biographical article, per policy. WP:PERP states that there must be "sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." The last dated source on this person was April 2006 reporting on her conviction, which counts as "contemporaneous news coverage." There has been no reliable secondary sources since that time.Legitimus (talk) 13:02, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very weak keep. I'm not a fan at all of organisations using Wikipedia as web hosting (which is what this seems to be on the whole). The article seems to be largely based on vague documents in the church archives, rather than published sources, and I have to take it in good faith that the books recently listed at the bottom contain pertinent information about the church. Howver, churches are generally semi-public buildings at the heart of a community, so its probable its been notable at some point in its 80+ year history. It doesn't help, when searching for sources, that the English Maidstone also has an All Saints Church! It's a tough one, the article needs a hefty clean-up at least.

I'm nominating on behalf of الدبوني who's a bit lost on nominating, His reason is "Doesn't meet notability guidelines...no reliable sources, no verifiability", I myself have no opinion on the AFD, Cheers –Davey2010Talk 10:27, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep maybe even speedy keep. The nominator is correct in his assertion that an identically named article was deleted in 2008 but in the discussion, that individual was described as "NN local Chicago businessman. He and Peter Psihos, also up for deletion, made a small spash in the local media over a smoking ban." Yet this individual is described as "British social entrepreneur and producer." Pretty clearly not the same person. Further, the nominator's assertion that there are "no reliable sources" is inane as he and his exhibition have received plenty of non-trivial third-party coverage. --Non-Dropframe talk 11:29, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Very promotional. Claims appear to be inherited from one heavily-promoted exhibition.--Rpclod (talk) 11:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep and I agree with Non-dropframe that this should probably be a speedy keep. The old article that was deleted about 7 years ago was obviously about a non-notable person involved in a local news incident. The Ahmed Salim here is a very notable person as demonstrated by the broad range of credible sources giving him coverage. From how I read it, the notability is not just from one exhibition, but from producing several exhibitions, various educational books and at least two movies starring very high profile names. In addition, he appears to be involved in the music industry as an agent representing at least one well known celebrity. If the article appears promotional in tone, this does not alone warrant deletion if the subject is notable, as this subject clearly is. Brownchamcha (talk) 14:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the point raised by Rpclod - yes this person is the son of Salim Al-Hassani (who is certainly notable, although this point is not even mentioned in the article), but he is simply running a successful exhibition (1001 Inventions). There are no RS which focus on Ahmed Salim himself, so he is not notable.--الدبوني (talk) 10:40, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Seeing as the Ahmed Salim article is so well sourced, and his work covers many different education and entertainment media, this seems like a very open-and-shut case for keeping the article and it's hard to understand why this has even been nominated for deletion. There are thousands of articles about individuals on wikipedia who have a lot fewer reliable sources and whose achievements have had much less impact, but there is no clamour for their deletion, so it seems strange this one has been nominated. It has been mentioned by الدبوني that Ahmed Salim is the son of Salim Al-Hassani. I have searched online but couldn't find any source confirming this to be true. So it appears that الدبوني has personal knowledge of Ahmed Salim, and his family, that objective third parties don't have, which leads to the suspicion that the desire of الدبوني to delete this article is personal and has nothing to do with the notability of the individual at all. In which case the existence of this nomination looks more like a personal vendetta than a reasonable argument. Wikipedia is not the place to pursue petty vendettas against people you know personally. Which is why I'm voting to keep this article as it is. SuperSallySees (talk) 14:14, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
SuperSallySees That is because you are missing out on some Arabic sources. Anyway this is not the point. The point is that despite many references being included in the article, many of them do not even mention Ahmed Salim and even when they do, he is not the subject of the article (the subject is usually 1001 Inventions). I honestly cannot find a single RS which shows this person is notable.--الدبوني (talk) 08:43, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most reliable sources only mention him in passing. The sources in the article are put out by the political party. He was only a candidate and not elected. None of his party positions have inherent notability and he does not meet WP:NPOL. None of the other coverage meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Article should be deleted with the WP:Usual Caveats to recreate it if he wins a notable election or later becomes a notable figure. JbhTalk 18:06, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jbhunley: @NeilN: I have mentioned the sources below. He is the National Executive Member and also the Head of the Disciplinary Action Committee of the Aam Aadmi Party which is the fastest growing political party in India. Apart from that he has also published 2 books which have a world wide presence.

@Jbhunley: Could you please ask some of your editors to edit the page and clear all the issues?--Kabir Vaghela (talk) 20:27, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Kabirvaghela: There is absolutely nothing that can be done to address the notability issues with out sources that talk about the subject. I have looked and other editors have looked. We can not find enough. All these sources you have listed are passing mentions, minor quotes or material put out by the party. Read WP:NPOL and WP:GNG and make a statement of how he meets the criteria set out there. I can not really do anything to help with that because, after reading through the sources, searching the web and asking input from other editors, I believe he does not meet those criteria. Your job is to convince the other editors here, through policy based arguments and evidence that he does meet those criteria. Just posting links without saying how they contribute to notability and how he passes the notability criteria is not a sufficient keep argument. JbhTalk 20:57, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jbhunley: @NeilN:
Point no. 3 in WP:NPOL says Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".
So according to this, the links that I have mentioned above do meet this criteria.
I have mentioned reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article.
I have removed the unnecessary links.
The following links are all reliable sources that are independent of the subject article:

  • Weak keep delete Isn't innately notable because of any election wins or any of the office-positions he has held, so the question is of WP:GNG. I found a lot of trivial mentions in articles where Waghela is quoted on behalf of Aam Aadmi Party, Bharat Swabhiman Trust, Patanjali Yog etc, but only one article that devotes any space on him personally, and that too in context of a pre-election profile, which raises WP:BLP1E issues (there is another biographical article but that is in an online only local "newspaper" that appears to be a one-person enterprise and doesn't qualify as a reliable source). IMO the coverage is too meager and/or trivial to establish notability at the moment. Abecedare (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Change to weak keep, in light o the Deccan Herald article Neil points to, which along with the Indian Express piece has eneough biographical coverage to establish notability and for us to write a stub. The reason for "weak" is that I fear that the thinness of the material will result in gathering of fluff, or the article becoming a coatrack but, as per policy, those issues are best handled through editing rather than deletion. Abecedare (talk) 19:17, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I believe more sources have been added since this AFD began. I think this is enough to establish notabilty. --NeilN talk to me 17:31, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Being able to establish bare biographical facts is not the criteria for GNG, NPOL or ANYBIO. All require significant coverage or meeting particular criteria such as being elected to a notable office. Head of Party Discipline does not carry inherent notability. Perhaps, in the future, there will be some significant coverage about the subject, possibly in relation to the current "scandal" going on in his party. He gets his name in the paper a lot but mostly as short quotes and passing mention. Right not I still believe is is TOOSOON. JbhTalk 19:52, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I think he passes WP:NPOLITICIAN, although I don't think he passes WP:GNG. However, I believe that passing WP:NPOLITICIAN is sufficient. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Misread at first and thought he was a national politician. Being a local politician means he fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOLITICIAN, so delete. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Being a local politician means they don't pass WP:NPOLITICIAN, and the lack of significant coverage means they fail WP:GNG. Therefore, they don't pass anything, and should be deleted. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:25, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I think this passes WP:BIO. There is a profile about him here here and hundreds of articles where he is mentioned in a meaningful way like here. His name is spelled Vaghela and Waghela, so I think he must have a mother tongue in another alphabet where there could be more sources. Elgatodegato (talk) 01:44, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do not mean to be overly picky but the article where you say he is "mentioned in a meaningful way" simply mentions his name. The sum total of his mention in that reference is "... on Wednesday joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the presence of its national executive member Dinesh Vaghela." That is all, nothing more. I go to the effort to point this out here because this is how he is often mentioned in the press, in passing and with no depth. Even hundreds of such mentions does not make one notable. If you can help locate non-English sources that would be great, such sources could very well contribute to his notability if they can be located. PS The other source you mention is already used in the article. JbhTalk 02:09, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I misunderstand it, but the way it was written, "in his presence" in the first paragraph, seems significant to me. You don't usually see that unless the presence is significant some way. It's very formal to me and almost royal. But maybe it has some significance I don't understand, like someone may officially join a party only if a representative is present. Unfortunately I don't know what his name is in his mother tongue. Maybe @Kabirvaghela: can help? Elgatodegato (talk) 02:52, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Elgatodegato: Dinesh Vaghela's official name is spelt Dinesh Vaghela but many people in Gujarat (which is his hometown) spell the surname with a 'W'. Hence, all this confusion. People who don't know spell it with a 'W' and people who know him spell it with a 'V' which is the correct spelling. --Kabir Vaghela (talk) 19:00, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kabir Vaghela, if you have better references, you can present them here. Is there no native-language newspaper that has done a profile of the subject? --NeilN talk to me 19:49, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Kabirvaghela: you are welcome to edit the article while the AFD is open. Such edits can even help reviewers better judge the notability of the subject. Just be sure to comply with wikipedia's content policies (WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:BLP) in your edits, and if you are related to the subject in any way, read and follow wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 19:52, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Kabirvaghela: Kabir, you could move the article to draft space -- that would let you work on it while you're looking for references. That way you wouldn't lose all your work in a deletion. Maybe over the next few months there will be more coverage in reliable sources. valereee (talk) 14:24, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will reply on your talk page. Abecedare (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Kabir, the concern over the conflict of interest is that when we're writing an article about a relative, sometimes it's hard for us to objectively assess his actual notability. The person is important to us, and that sometimes makes us believe he is more notable than he actually is, and the question here is whether or not he is notable. One good way for you to prove that he is notable for Wikipedia is to find at least three stories ABOUT HIM in national or international newspapers or magazines. Not stories in which he is simply mentioned or quoted but stories that are at least partly ABOUT him. Not local newspapers or online-only new sites (unless they have hundreds of thousands of readers per day such as Huffington Post or Slate.) valereee (talk) 20:20, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: Here you go
Kahir, the first is a bare mention of the subject in an article about someone else. The second is a bare mention of hte subject in an article about an incident. The third is a bare mention of the subject in an article about someone else. I'm sorry, but this looks very much like a person who is slightly involved in an -incident- that may or may not be notable itself. This person is only being mentioned because he is a member of a disciplinary committee which is dealing with a politician's bad behavior. I just don't see this as proving notability. valereee (talk) 13:47, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP. This article was written by a WP:COI editor, and is WP:PROMO- for example "has shown to increase efficiency by 25% in at least one location". Joseph2302 (talk) 16:15, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - (As the author of most of the content in the article) I found a request at the teahouse after speedy deleting it WP:A7. I looked into it and definitely consider popular science to be a WP:RS, so I undeleted, did some research, found some citations. A google search found several other WP:RS that I added in. The 25% part was meant to be part of an "assertion of notability", and not promotional. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • First off, 95% plus of that content was added by myself based on direct synthesis from the reliable sources that I have also cited, and you have my assurance I have nothing to do with that company. Secondly, any of the content that was added by a WP:COI editor was reviewed by myself, and is all attributable to a reliable source. Secondly, I used to look through reliable sources such as popular science for organizations such as this, which have been notable enough to get actual coverage. The difference between spam, and this article is, spam is written with the goal of advertising a company or service with the intent to increase sales; this article was written with the goal of synthesizing the relevant information from reliable sources. For example, if the same content that I wrote was written in a "spam" tone, it might say "Our product increases efficiency 25% for methane extraction", regardless of the fact that this notable result was found in a single location and may not be representative of the entire product, but written or construed in such a way that a reader may believe it to be so. By writing it as "25% in at least 1 location", and having that assertion directly quoted to a reliable source, I expressed a notable aspect of this organization (a requirement for an article is an assertion of notability) in a way that is meant to express the facts from the sources I used, while not expressing it in prose that may mislead a reader into thinking something other than what the source I got it from expressed.

  • Keep: Holy crap, Joseph -- there's a line between enforcing relevant guidelines and policies and Being On A Crusade, and your posts here cross it. I understand that you believe that paid/COI editors ought to be kicked off of Wikipedia, but in the meantime, they're permitted to edit and create articles about their companies. If you don't like that, your only recourse is to seek to change consensus to your POV over on the relevant policy talk pages, not to delete reliably sourced articles with properly sourced content. The measure of whether a subject merits an article on Wikipedia comes down to whether the subject meets the GNG or not, not whether the editor supplying sound citations is COI.

These were created as part of a set of four related to Optimizely. I don't see either as having notability independent of Optimizely, which is the focus of most of the coverage. I did a merge and redirect to Optimizely, which was undone by the creator. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:46, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I admit I have a conflict of interest here, but both people are clearly notable. A simple Google News[30] search reveals that both Dan Siroker and Pete Koomen have received significant news coverage from reliable sources. Both Pete Koomen and Dan Siroker are founders of Optimizely, a major venture funded tech company which has received significant attention from the press. Aside from Optimizely, the two are serial entrepreneurs, published authors, and notable angel investors in Silicon Valley. Dan Siroker was also a key player in the 2008 Obama campaign and has been quoted in many articles and news stories about politics, most recently on Bloomberg[31] in regards to the upcoming presidential campaign. Salsakesh (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't doubt that there are many hits in google and google news. The issues are the independence of those (PR wire articles and stories that share non-trivial passages with PR wire articles are not independent; neither are non-adversarial interview-based pieces) and whether the focus is on Optimizely or on Pete Koomen / Dan Siroker and whether that focus is in-depth. Note: the bloomberg video doesn't play for me, which may be a technical issue or a region issue. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:18, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there are a few PR wire articles in there, but the vast majority of the sources are from reliable sources such as TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Wired, USA Today, CNN Money, and the New York Times. A few of those are as you say, non-adversarial interview based pieces, but that is not a criteria under WP:Reliable. Many of the articles talk about Dan Siroker and Pete Koomen within the context of Optimizely, but many of the articles also talk about their contributions to the 2008 and 2012 Obama campaigns, their angel investing, and their published book. Salsakesh (talk) 17:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge & Redirect all articles as suggested by Paulbrock, as a group the family appears to be notable per criteria #4 of WP:ARTIST, per the references provided by Paulbrook. That being said, individual members do not appear to criteria set forth in WP:ANYBIO. Therefore, since the individual articles fall within the scope of a notable group, in this case their family, a redirect and merger of referenced content to a new article named Blanco Family Museum, or Blanco family, would be appropriate.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:14, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:NAUTHOR, and I'm not convinced they pass WP:GNG either. In any case, most of the article is unsourced, so not complient with WP:BLP. A lot of the coverage on Google is generic or identical author profiles, as well as book lists etc. Mdann52 (talk) 16:04, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NickCT (talk) 19:04, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @NickCT: It is not Wikipedia place to decide what is and isn't notable. If you would like, she can be considered the winner of a regional awards such as the people found here and here. The subject's significant coverage (such as [40] and [41], and [42] passes WP:BIO.

  • @Winner 42: - re " It is not Wikipedia place to decide what is and isn't notable" - Really??? Well golly gee. There I was thinking that's that what we did here. Admittedly she has some coverage in Czech media, but I can't find a single English language reference for her. Her notability is clearly entirely local. And has she done anything other than win a single notable pageant? Why doesn't WP:BLP1E apply? NickCT (talk) 19:48, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @NickCT: You can't find a single English reference for her? Did you even look? I would recommend trying the first and third references in the article. Also WP:NOENG and WP:LPI are applicable here. Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:09, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh yes. Yes. The Times of Beauty. How did I miss a reference in that fine and reputable publication? I know WP:NOENG applies, but fact is, if she isn't notable enough to warrant a single ref in a serious English language publication, she probably ain't that notable. NickCT (talk) 20:23, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Define serious. Both English sources are considered "authoritative in relation to the subject" and therefore reliable. They are also independent from the contests and third party with editorial review thereby meeting the definition of an independent reliable sources. But, the fact is that it does not matter if English sources exist at all per WP:NOENG. Her significant coverage in Czech sources is enough. Though the fact that you didn't even bother to look at the sources in the article before coming to the AfD certainly says something. Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:47, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Winner 42: - I bothered to search engine test it, which is really more relevant in these conversations than is simply looking at the references on the page. re "serious" - Is Times of Beauty a notable enough source to have its own WP page? WP:LPI is a bad essay, by-the-by. Our policy (i.e. WP:BLP1E) applies here. NickCT (talk) 21:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It must be someone high up if they can influence all Czech media into printing over and over that she won Miss Czech World? And thus is going to compete at the Miss World pageant? [43], [44], [45]. The official Miss Czech organisation is in on it too, those lying bastards. And how cruel to Nikol Švantnerova, the one and only true Miss Czech World, who has been fraudulently entered into the Miss Universe Pageant. I know a guy to contact. —МандичкаYO 😜 06:11, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Winner 42, "winning a national pageant title as a qualifier to the "Miss World" category would qualify as winning a major award." Cheers! WordSeventeen (talk) 01:46, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Satisfies WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. To win a national beauty pageant, and represent one's country in an international event (part of the Big Four) is notable, and significant coverage has been found already. To compare the size of the country to other bigger contries is totally out of order. Guidelines on politicians or sportsmen say "national" office or champion without any reference to the size. National is national. Period. Kraxler (talk) 18:10, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Austlit's inclusion criteria is on their website and includes any poet born in Australia, including self-published poets.

Non-notable orchid variety. This article tells a story of how someone created a new hybrid of orchid and got it registered. Beyond that, the article doesn't say much about the orchid. It does go on in great detail (none of which is verifiable) about the personal tragedy that led to the creation and naming of the variety, and then to the creation of "National Orchid Day" based on the payment of a fair sum of money to the "Registrar of National Days" which, sadly, appears to be some sort of scam akin to paying to name a star.

Meitiv family[edit]

With a reference to the Washington Post my first thought was that this family may meet notability guidelines. But what is notable is not the family but the lifestyle that they have chosen - and we have an article on that at Slow parenting. RichardOSmith (talk) 06:55, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Snow keep. I'm sorry if this sounds snotty, but did you consider running some searches before creating this AfD? A Google News search for "meitiv" comes up with literally hundreds of news articles specifically about the Meitivs. These incidents been covered by all the major media outlets. NY Times, HuffPo, CNN, Fox News, WaPo, Free Press, Star Tribune, Dallas Morning News, Slate, USA Today, Daily Mail, Newsday, ABC, NY Daily News, NY Post, ChiTri, CBS, Guardian, LA Times... The list goes on and on. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 07:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, and I accept that on first look they do appear to be notable because of that coverage. But as I considered this further I concluded the they have merely been caught up in a debate about parenting, and it is that which is notable. Wikipedia's relevant policies and guidelines include:
WP:BLP - this is a controversial subject and these people appear to have been unwittingly caught up in it. There are minors involved. Even if the article is balanced and neutral there are questions about whether a family that has been caught up in events apparently not of their making should be permanently associated with them.
WP:BIO1E (this is about a single topic) and WP:PERP (these are not criminals but the police involvement means it is relevant) - both of these suggest we have article on the circumstance, not those involved
WP:NOTWHOSWHO - this was already a notable subject; these people have not made it so and are just the latest to be involved

Those policies are inapplicable and your comments reflect that you still haven't taken WP:BEFORE to heart. Please read the sources before you opine on them. Most of these sources aren't about free range parenting, they're about the Meitivs and their run-ins with the police and CPS. Most of the reactions described in these sources aren't on the merits of free range parenting, they're about whether the government handled things appropriately and whether the Meitivs should have kept going after the first incident. Your statement that the family got "unwittingly" caught up in event "apparently not of their making" is flat-out wrong. The Meitivs played an active role in these incidents and have been more than happy to share their story with the media. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 05:55, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I clearly explained the process I followed WP:before nominating; please WP:Comment on content, not on the contributor. I believe those policies are fundamental to Wikipedia, relevant, and cannot simply be dismissed. This article is merely news, relevant only in the context of the parenting issue. RichardOSmith (talk) 13:33, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The April and May earthquakes in Nepal are merely news too, relevant only the context of Nepal and earthquakes. How is this any different? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:29, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/redirect/merge I agree with nom - their name appears often but it is all re-reporting of two single (and minor) incidents. They're the current meme, but there isn't much depth. Since their name has become synonymous with Slow parenting it would be worth adding these incidents to that page (which oddly doesn't mention the recent news). Should they gain more notability in the future (e.g. they write a best-selling book that gets in depth reviews) a page could be created for them, probably under the names of the parents. LaMona (talk) 05:06, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm baffled as to how either of you could can completely blow by the relevant guidelines (WP:GNG and WP:BIO) without any meaningful analysis. WP:1E doesn't apply because that guideline is about events, not about movements or philosophies. The argument for merging is akin to saying Claude Monet should be merged into Impressionism because, to use your words, Monet's name has become has become "synonymous" with Impressionism. That's just not how WP:N works. Besides, much of the coverage on the Meitivs would have no place in Slow parenting. The story is as much about government conduct and the peculiarities of these incidents as it is about parenting philosophies. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take it from a different angle. The Meitivs are preparing a lawsuit. Would the lawsuit really belong in Slow parenting? At what point would this story deserve its own article? Are you really suggesting never, since it relates to slow parenting? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Dr. Fleischman, I don't know how you get from a single !vote to never, but I don't think that's a useful approach. As a librarian, I think in terms of "where would people look?" and "what is the focus here?" In my mind, in this case the focus is the slow parenting movement. This is an application of WP:PAGEDECIDE, and of course is my reading of the policy in this context. As I said in my comment (which I'll assume you read thoroughly), the Meitiv's may become notable in the future, although it isn't clear if that would be the family or, in particular, the parents. YMMV, and that's fine, but I don't appreciate your conclusion that my reasoning "blows by the relevant guidelines," which does not sound like WP:Assume_good_faith. You seem to be accusing me of negligence, and I assure you that I think through these issues before commenting here. In terms of their being involved in a lawsuit, first one needs to see if the lawsuit itself rises to Wikipedia:Notability_(law). So for that we are definitely WP:TOOSOON. LaMona (talk) 21:24, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you were acting in bad faith. I'm just really, really surprised you'd think that all of the heavily reported details and angles of the Meitiv story would fit into an article about parenting philosophies. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:35, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The New York Times says that "The case has drawn international media coverage..." and so its notability seems clear. Deciding how and where to cover the matter is not a matter for AFD. I don't like the term slow parenting which seems quite obscure but free-range parenting could use expansion and so we might merge into that to preserve the material. And I must say that the whole thing seems quite remarkable - what has happened to the "land of the free and the home of the brave?" I walked to school by myself from an early age, used to go off to the park for hours with schoolfriends, take the bus to the library, &c. Are children up to the age of 10 really expected to be under 24-hour surveillance now? Andrew D. (talk) 17:35, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • To answer my own question, it turns out that in Illinois, kids have to be 14 years old to be left alone! We have had Wikipedia admins younger than that! Andrew D. (talk) 17:45, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - fails GNG. The coverage is not about THEM; it is about their parenting approach (already covered in its own article) that has led to "two encounters with government authorities." The typical article ([53] states that the situation with the Meitivs has raised a national debate about this kind of parenting. That's a big clue they themselves are not the subject of the articles. Article claims they are known for controversy; being controversial, scandalous, notorious, etc is not sufficient for GNG and for BLP is WP:UNDUE. If there were any charges filed and legal action taken, something that might indicate any kind of notability, it could presumably be an article titled "The Meitiv family case." As it is, the incidents are perfectly suitable for the slow parenting article. —МандичкаYO 😜 02:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Total misapplication of GNG. You are cherrypicking a single source. The test isn't whether a "typical" source that refers to the subject is "about" the subject or "about" something else. The test is whether any sources provide significant coverage of the subject. We have 100s of reliable sources specifically centered on the Meitivs; if even 2 of them provide significant coverage of the Meitivs, then they pass GNG. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 04:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is the coverage is all surrounding the case (in the larger context of the parenting style, which is why it's preferable it be in that article.) As the NYT article you quoted states, "The case has drawn international media coverage..." It's the case that has drawn the attention, not them. How is this article a sufficient biography of an entire family? The entire article is about the two incidents in the past six months and only that, which is wholly unacceptable as a WP:BLP. WP:BIO discusses this. "Editors are advised to be cognizant of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people." —МандичкаYO 😜 05:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that argument. What if we renamed the article "Meitiv incidents" or the like? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 08:22, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would support the renaming. IMO it's short enough just to be in the article in the parenting style article, but I think this is a good compromise. —МандичкаYO 😜 05:54, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I, too, would consider this a viable compromise, although I still think that the information is thin. I also think that we're temporarily too close to the incident, and that a look back in the future may clarify the notability. LaMona (talk) 18:36, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This publication certainly isn't notable enough for its own article. And I don't think any of the information is relevant or well-sourced enough for a merge to make sense. It seems to me that the best option is to delete this article and just put a mention in the OIL (incorporations and corporate services) page that they have a publication called Offshore 2020.

  • Soft Keep. Disclosure: In my real life I am one of the regular participants in this market research (and scheduled to do it again this year). The article as written is not great, but the Offshore 2020 publication does have unusual value in that it is one of the very few publicly available sources which shines a light under the hood in terms of the normally pretty opaque world of offshore finance. That probably tips it to a 'keep' for me, but appreciate because I am in the industry it probably appears more interesting to me than to lay people. --Legis (talk - contribs) 13:26, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to me to be an advertisement. It also doesn't really assert its claim for notability. It doesn't explain what it is very well, either. It's disguised effectively, and could become notable, but I don't think it is yet. I hate to suggest it, but I think it should be deleted. --Magnus Puer (sermo) 22:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that's fair. OSMC is a popular Pi alternative to OpenELEC which seems to have its own page. It does seem notable (a quick search reveals some mentions in Wall Street Journal and on technical websites as well). Perhaps the article is not neutral, however I do feel it is relevant. According to the Vero website which seems to be an OSMC product, Raspbmc, which is now called OSMC had 200,000 regular users, at least at the time of writing. The http://openelec.tv/ website claims that they have 400,000 users. Granted that these are both sources that would benefit from inflating these numbers. However this does seem to show OSMC is notable. --User:Tim4345 (User talk:Tim4345) 01:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Drunvalo Melchizedek invented this neologism to describe a particular design he seems to like. It is not acknowledged to have relevance outside of his ideas. Much of the article is in violation of original research prohibitions and the subject lacks notability. In particular, there do not seem to be independent sources which describe this as being an actual encyclopedic topic. jps (talk) 14:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • NeutralWeak Delete - Hmmmm.... This one is a toughy. A number of books out there cover this topic (granted most are from Melchizedek, but there are a significant number of mentions in other sources). Most of the sources on this topic are "New Age" religious in scope. While they don't really strike me as "high quality" RS, it's hard to completely discount them. This article has been around for quite a while and attracts a number of views. I know that's not a rationale for or against delet\ion, but it suggests we consider this cautiously. NickCT (talk) 14:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think if you look into all the books you will find that they are written by acolytes or erstwhile believers in Drunvalo Melchizedek's channeling of Thoth. This means that there is essentially no source that is independent enough on which to establish notability or neutrally write about this fringe theory. jps (talk) 17:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps, but isn't the requirement for notability simply that a lot of people have written about a thing? I don't think it matters whether those people are acolytes or not. Once a fringe theory gains enough popularity, doesn't it deserve an article (e.g. Alien abduction)? NickCT (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's not just a lot of sources. Reliability means that we need to find independent sources otherwise we will never be able to write the neutral article. This is why the notability guideline for fringe theories includes WP:FRIND. Unlike alien abduction, there simply are no independent sources written about this subject. For alien abduction, there are actually a large number of sources written about the subject by non-believers including psychologists, UFO-debunkers and astronomers, sociologists, and even literary critics. jps (talk) 17:35, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • NickCT No, a lot of people writing about it is not sufficient. It must have received significant coverage in secondary sources. The concept of alien abduction has been well-covered in secondary sources. —МандичкаYO 😜 17:40, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

            • @NickCT: - I'm actually not that surprised it gets good traffic. It's not an outrageous amount (nowhere near top 5,000 I'm guessing) and there's a ton of people into New Age thinking/study who are trying to find the meaning of life and all that. His entire movement is based on the symbol being the center of the universe, and he writes about it being an ancient secret, along the lines of the Da Vinci Code: His book summary on Amazon: "Now we are rising up from that sleep, shaking old, stale beliefs from our minds and glimpsing the golden light of this new dawn streaming through the windows of perception. This book is one of those windows." People eat that up. —МандичкаYO 😜 21:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete - notability is dubious and true subject is unclear; article is full of original research/synthesis. Author leads article with the unreferenced statement, "New Age writers associate the Flower of Life with symbols and decorative motifs from cultures throughout history," followed by all the known places somewhat similar symbols have occurred throughout history, crediting Melchizedek for most of it, and some other similar symbols that Melchizedek calls the "Egg of Life" and "Fruit of Life." Other references are very weak, including "Many New Age websites use this phrase as does the Dallas, Texas architect Stephen B. Chambers." —МандичкаYO 😜 17:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed, misleading and innacuracies. The flower of life is not completed, and I think it'd be more relevant to put the fact that the actual symbol has been around for thousands of years and used by ancient civilizations and perhaps a clearer notion of what it actually represents to people rather than the fact that the name for it was 'coined' by Drunvalo recently who threw some claims behind it, this and geometric patterns of the like have been used in mathematics, in the creation of ancient architecture and sculptures, throughout nature, sound, etc. Also there's a flower of life design on an ossuary in the ROM from Jerusalem dating back to 100BC-100AD that I've seen, stating the 6-pointed rosettes were commonly depicted on them. From what I've seen online, like X, they date back to over 1000+ BCE. KATRINA 8:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.200.57 (talk)

People have commented here, linking to the important core policies of Wikipedia which describe the criteria of encyclopedic content as is provided by secondary sources. Thanks for doing that, and for having already cleaned it up. This content is good and plentiful and well established, the subject is important and popular, and it needs to be preserved somewhere even if it was merged like with a biography of Drunvalo Melchizedek. WP:NORUSH and optimistic eventualism in this case.

Thanks! — Smuckola(talk) 05:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The sourcing is almost decent now but it still leans dangerously towards WP:OR. How do we know Melchizedek's symbol is a notable thing? Well, we have Schneider 2009, but otherwise it's just a bunch of other random people saying it's interesting, even a TV show. Shii (tock) 10:25, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding the notability, e.g. enter "Flower of Life" in a Google "shopping" search. You see several offers by different mail-order companies, not all related to esoterics. This proves the use of the term outside of Melchizedek's follower circles (and was an argument for keeping the German article). -- Karl432 (talk) 11:50, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no question that this is a design that appears in multiple places throughout history -- and that shouldn't be surprising since it's something one can easily come up with using a compass or copying a set of circles. As a common design, however, it has not risen to its own notability (c.f. the Swastika, which has appeared throughout history, being a relatively easy design to come up with independently). It's really just another Pattern. Therefore the only remaining possible notability is its meaning in the New Age religious sense, but this seems to have limited adherence and no RS.

It illustrates the fact that several people have valid (to varying degrees of relevancy) observations about the general subject, but their conclusions may be drastically inappropriate. That is just one of the votes for deletion which was not even a relevant vote. This article has been subject to gratuitous deletionism, even if just by having initially (wrongly) framed it as a deletion instead of as a simple discussion and call to action, whereas there are so many actual possible valid courses of action.

        • There's no deletionism going on here. We're simply following WP policy. This is WP:FRINGE and has not been covered extensively in reliable secondary sources. This is the most-used source and it's completely self-published. I'm not sure why you judge our conclusions to be "drastically inappropriate." The other is a German symbol dictionary that is offline, the other is an incomplete reference to a Sci Fi Channel presentation (What is the date it aired?

            • I understand policy. I especially understand that part right on top where it very specifically states fringe ideas (like this) must meet the test of notability, which is apparently lost on some people who like pretty designs. I've reviewed the sources below, one of which was complete crap. Are you really serious about saying this article meets GNG? —МандичкаYO 😜 09:37, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - this article has five sources. First, obviously, Melchizedek, who is a primary source. Second, a self-published website that I cannot see passing as WP:RS. Then there was the reference to the SciFi channel program - I found it on YouTube and it says nothing whatsoever about these symbols or even the Great Osiris Temple, but is entirely about the Sphynx. So that's a total fail. Then there is the mention in the German dictionary of symbols, that is offline, and no page is even cited. We need WP:VERIFIABILITY - is it even discussing the Flower of Life or just the symbols themselves? Additionally this reference is used one time to support the statement that the Flower of Life was not a term previously used. Finally there is the work from 1904 that obviously says nothing whatsoever about the "Flower of Life" concept. So I really would like to know how anyone could possibly claim, based on these references, that this topic meets the WP:GNG. —МандичкаYO 😜 09:31, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with your assessment of the other sources, but are you saying that an academic source is unverifiable if you can't find a PDF copy on the Internet? Shii (tock) 10:30, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • The point is that it is more than plausible considering the promotionalism from which this article suffers that German dictionary doesn't mention the "Flower of Life" at all since there is no page number nor a quote. Wikipedia:Resource Request might be able to help. jps (talk) 12:27, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Shii no, I tend to WP:AGF whenever it's reasonable, but because of the other sources being essential non-existent, everything relies on this one source. And even then, it is only used to reference one relatively minor fact. (And it may not have even mentioned the term "Flower of Life" - maybe all it said was "this pattern has no name" which was synthesised into "Nobody has ever used the term 'Flower of Life' for this pattern"). I also have to wonder if these sources were taken right out of Melchizedek's book in violation of WP:SAYWHEREYOUREADIT. The video was right there on YouTube since 2009, why wasn't it linked? It's just weird to me. But even if it were just a mislabeled episode title from honest error, that reference is only used to support the date of the ancient carvings at the temple, not anything to do with the Flower of Life theory itself. —МандичкаYO 😜 12:50, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete A pattern rediscovered by every person who picks up a compass doesn't need an article under some fringey "authority"'s name. Mangoe (talk) 13:13, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • The point is that it's notable as a fringe theory and has been picked up in hundreds of New Agey sources, although I was unable to find a secondary source describing those sources. A crucifix is a simple design but it's notable. Shii (tock) 06:09, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • If there are no sources written about this from the perspective of how this particular design has become the inspiration symbol of these hundreds of New Age writers, then it is not Wikipedia's place to start an article on the subject. We need those secondary sources to write a Wikipedia article. Eventually, some academics might come and write on the cultural phenomenology (just as they have for the crucifix) and then we can properly write the article. On the other hand, it may happen that the idea never grows beyond this parochial industry. The article is simply running on fumes right now before it is even possible for it to be substantively curated. jps (talk) 12:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. WP:GNG telling us "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",
  2. WP:RS telling us "an article should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy",
  3. the inclusion criteria of WP:NF telling us to look for multiple reliable sources, and
  4. know that Christian Today, Charisma Magazine, Christian Post, Religion News Service and Hallels are reliable enough sources with reputations for fact-checking and accuracy which treat this topic in a more-than trivial manner just as guideline suggests. And too, Deadline and Daily Mail and even Woman's Wear Daily are reliable enough for us under WP:V.
I have addressed some article issues. And while we have no mandate that sources have to be solely about a topic being sourced, enough available are and do offer substantial and direct information about the filming or completion of this film. In my understanding the cautions of WP:NFF telling us to at least wait for a film to begin, and with this one completed and receiving coverage, this production per our community standards meets GNG and thus merits inclusion per WP:NFF (paragraph 3). And thanks, but as the author of WP:TOOSOON, I do have decent sense of when something is premature or not, and when guideline is met or not. Thanks.

If that was your goal, why not then take care of it yourself and add whatever information you deem necessary? Is deleting an article in any instance better than adding info, which could then, in turn, help people with access to information? I can think of no example in which it would be. If you want to make this all about me, go right ahead. I just will never understand why anyone would want to remove information that could possibly help people. Donmike10 (talk) 16:43, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Donmike10: shhhhhh.... calm. Sure he could have done it himself, but he is not required to do so. And sure, AFD is not to be used to press for improvements and improving articles is for anyone to do and topic notability is based upon looking first to determine if sources are available even if not citing an article, the result here is that the article is now improved (you're welcome) and will likely not be deleted.

  • Keep Current ver of article shows that there are several notable cast members, principal photography has begun and even completed. There are reviews linked above and it seems fairly likely that it will have a wide release. NFF Paragraph 3 appears to pass as stated above, so I'm seeing no issue. I'm almost leaning towards Draft until release per WP:NFF paragraph 3, but if we assume that the production itself is notable per the reasons above, I'm okay with keep. ― Padenton|✉   18:16, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this via another article up for speedy (which I deleted), which led me to this article. While the article would assert some notability via the Rockabilly Hall of Fame mention, that's really the only thing that this group has going for them. I don't know if this listing would be enough to merit a keep on this alone and I can't find anything to show that they're otherwise noteworthy. The article says that they were covered somewhere, but I can't really find these mentions to show if they were in-depth articles, brief mentions, or if all of the magazines would be usable as a RS. If anyone can find enough coverage to merit an article I'm open to closing this. In any case if it is kept then it will need some cleaning for the slightly promotional tone that was added by a COI editor. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Mexican English[edit]

New Mexican English (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Under Wikipedia's Reasons for Deletion, this article meets #7, "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" and #8 "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline." Here are specifics:

  • Though several sources have been referenced here by previous users, their reliability or relevance is mostly weak or plain absent (some cited sources simply don't even address the information they're supposed to be verifying, while much of the information seems to have no citations whatsoever); furthermore, none of the sources here actually seems to use the term "New Mexican English" or even imply it, except one Encyclopedia.com article, which uses the term "New Mexico English" in a single sentence, to vaguely refer to "a mixture of dominant Midland [English], with some Northern features... and Southern and South Midland features." This source does mention six phrases used in New Mexico (mostly borrowings from other dialect regions, and some from Spanish), but this alone certainly does not confirm a local variety of English that is its own separate or significantly distinct and notable dialect. Where is all the linguistics research on this topic? This brings me to my next concern...
  • No linguistic or other scholarly resources have been found by myself or previous users that delineate a uniquely New Mexican form of English. Major works on regional varieties of American English, for example, like William Labov et al's Atlas of North American English, are noticeably silent on New Mexico.
  • Most of the lexical and phonological characteristics mentioned on the WP article suspiciously match those exactly mentioned in a pair of viral YouTube comedy videos: "Shit Burqueños (New Mexicans) Say." The listed terms and pronunciations (that supposedly define this English variety) cannot be found anywhere credible online, even with a quick Google search. The videos themselves give a view of a "New Mexican" accent that the creators have admitted are exaggerated at best.
  • One source used here (Busby 2004, pp. 270-1) merely talks about a general Southwest English, and other than giving a brief history of linguistic intermixing in the region, gives no actual evidence of significant linguistic uniqueness in New Mexico today; it does, however, refer to a Spanish-influenced variety, Chicano English, which already has its own Wikipedia page.

Here are a few:
  • Reading America: New Perspectives on the American Novel. ISBN 9781847187772
  • Problems in applied educational sociolinguistics: readings on language and culture problems of United States ethnic groups ISBN 9027977267
  • "A milestone study: Structured variability as the key to unraveling (contact-induced) language change" in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition
  • Characteristic features of New Mexico English between 1805 and 1890, WA Heflin - 1941 - University of Chicago
Is it possible you could give any kind of a gist of what these sources contribute to the concept of a New Mexican English? Wolfdog (talk) 01:21, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We need more information about what these sources say. The one with the link appears to simply discuss bilingualism, as do the links on the article. There is nothing whatsoever to suggest New Mexico English exists; nor is there significant coverage of it as a proposed dialect. Is there anything that suggests there is a substantial difference between New Mexico English and Arizona English? or Texas English? The study that lists pronunciation isn't sufficient, as there is no indication there is anything notable about the pronunciation ie there is any significant variation that is unique to New Mexico. It would also be nice to have some sort of context for "Characteristic features of New Mexico English between 1805 and 1890." I'm not sure if this is a thesis or what, or if, like the pronunciation study, it is just documenting the English there. For something as major as a dialect of American English, there should be extensive resources, and this is failing hard. —МандичкаYO 😜 03:18, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Can you please explain what the references provided actually do to lend credibility to a New Mexican English variety? Wikimandia claims to have reviewed the sources, deciding that they aren't sufficient and do "nothing whatsoever to suggest New Mexico English exists." Blue Rasberry also claims to have spot-checked them, even concluding that "some of them do not feature this topic as their subject." What more can you add to this discussion to bolster your side? Wolfdog (talk) 00:41, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • The delineation of language dialects is difficult, especially at the level of a microchasms like the Southwestern United States, which contains multiple English language variants including varieties like Navajo English. I agree with Blue Rasberry that "The topic may be notable but it is not obvious." And, I think, they might might agree with this assessment; as seen in the "Assistant Professor & Coordinator of Sabine Ulibarri Spanish as a Heritage Language Program at the University of New Mexico", "International Journal of Bilingualism", and the exaggerated comedy viral videos, there is a clear interest in this particular dialect. The terms "or what", "land down", "oh si", and "omber" are all mentioned in the Spanish as a Heritage Language Program citation and the comedy videos. Another smaller assessment I can make is the example of Montano, being pronounced with an "ñ" sound, which definitely not standard American English. Spot-checking languages is difficult as they can get very oddly delineated, "New Mexican English" may not be the only term this dialect falls under, but this terminology is preferred under WikiProject Languages, so we don't end up with multiple articles about the same language, imagine; Burqueño English, Eastern Southwestern American English, Southern New Mexican English, Northern New Mexico English, English in New Mexico, Southern Colorado speech, the English language as it is used in Western Texas and west of Texas, etc. You catch my drift, we don't want that, lol. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 06:02, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interestingly, I've discovered that the act of creating, as well as most of the editing, of this article, has been done by a user now blocked for sockpuppetry: see more here. The user appears to be connected with a business called "Heaven Sent Gaming," which also has an article called "New Mexican English" that I nearly allowed to stand as a potentially credible source; now I have enough doubt to keep it off of Wikipedia. Here is the website; feel free to try to get a sense of its credibility, though I can't think of any solid, quick ways to test it: http://newmexico.heavensentgaming.com/lexicon/new-mexican-english/. Wolfdog (talk) 19:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sockpuppetry is a fairly common with organizations, and is not grounds for banning using them as a source, if they have credible sources. Unless we are to ban sources from the the United States Congress, Church of Scientology, or, another New Mexican company, Blake's Lotaburger. That source in question states that it is "a New Mexico cultural encyclopedia, lexicon, and news." I would agree with its removal if it were unreliable, however the website cites its sources and is not user-editable, meaning that it should be fine as long as its not overly referenced. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 02:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not talking about banning the source. I'm talking about avoiding it. A website's calling itself an "encyclopedia" certainly doesn't make it genuine in any academic sense, and actually I can see nowhere that the site lists its sources. In fact, I'm becoming increasingly suspicious of that site due to its own sockpuppetry scandal on Wikipedia, which I've dug up at this location. Let's just avoid it. If there is evidence for the "Keep" side of this discussion, I'm sure it can be stronger than that. Wolfdog (talk) 19:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, 75.173.98.22, your contributions reveal somewhat questionable canvassing tactics, since you've defied the guideline on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Nominating article(s) for deletion (under subsection "Notifying substantial contributors to the article") that states: "One should not notify bot accounts, people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits, or people who have never edited the article" (my emphasis).

  • I have no idea- they weren't specifically a sockpuppet for this AfD, but have commented in quite a few (I decided to help someone else who was striking their comments from AfDs). Joseph2302 (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This sockpuppetry does not seem to be related to the article itself, we should be fine. I believe that this article has enough merit to continue building the article without deletion. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 05:48, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is not canvassing, and is standard practice here on Wikipedia to notify interested parties. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • How did you know they were interested parties if they've never edited the page? I've just quoted the Wikipedia page's guidelines. Did I interpret it out of context? Wolfdog (talk) 20:38, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • You should not vote if you have no user name. Which is why I have not voted. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 21:56, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I was all set to say "delete" - thinking "come on, are we going to have articles about the dialect in every state in the country?" Well, it turns out we pretty much do; see Category:American English. I checked a couple of articles in that category and found they have no better references than this article. Yes, I know, WP:OTHERSTUFF. I also did a search at Google Scholar and found the term "New Mexican Engilsh" used in a book and a scholarly article[56] so local and regional dialects like this do appear to be a real subject of scholarly study, which has inspired many articles at Wikipedia. The article could use some work ("coyote" as a distinctively New Mexican word? Come on!) but that's not a reason to delete it. --MelanieN (talk) 20:50, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, dialects like this. But this one itself? We've above discussed (briefly) how the two articles you've found on Google Scholar don't seem to actually define a New Mexican dialect. And obviously, your "otherstuff" articles should also be vetted. (Are there any ones you specifically think seem insignificant?) Wolfdog (talk) 01:13, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is there any reason that this one itself shouldn't have an article? As far as I can tell there are no Wikipedia articles detailing any of the accents or dialects of the American Southwest. This one, at the least, has mentions in academic research papers. You keep bringing up that the articles on Google scholar don't "define" New Mexican English, yet they both concur that it is a contact-induced dialect. They both also discuss the voice onset time and certain characteristics of the dialect. There is even an assistant professor, from an internationally recognized university, attesting to the dialect's unique traits. That's more than some English dialects have here on Wikipedia, which is fine, since English is a diverse and ever-evolving language. 75.173.98.22 (talk) 05:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think we're talking in circles here. I'm just as in favor of deleting any dialect pages that are as poorly sourced as this one. Having passing mentions in academic papers doesn't make it achieve WP:GNG. WP:IINFO states that "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources." So far there have been a few independent sources (and almost none specifically about an English dialect of New Mexico), but even fewer links between the information on the WP page and what is actually said in those sources regarding "New Mexican English" as a distinct dialect. I think the page is plagued with WP:OR. Again, 75.173.98.22, I've noticed you're putting back uncited information onto the WP page or adding back citations that don't actually confirm the information they're being linked to without explanations, even though I've put in an effort to explain all my edits on the talk page. Why do you keep doing this?
The assistant professor source does seem to be one credible example. At least by its abstract, however, the article called "Spanish-English bilingual voice onset time in spontaneous code-switching" directly equates a "New Mexican English" with "typical non-contact English." So that certainly doesn't delineate it as a unique dialect. And the "A milestone study" article I have no current access to, or way of vetting; it doesn't mention New Mexico in the abstract.
Here: Why don't I just list the credible sources that I think directly bolster the idea of a New Mexican English:
  • The Burqueno Dialect/Damian Wilson video source
  • "New Mexico Facts, information, pictures"/Encyclopedia.com source (though this source seems to provide relatively insubstantial characteristics)
As far as I can see, that's it. Other sources are not reliable or only mention an imprecise "Southwest English" or provide pronunciations without any scientific backing that the pronunciations belong to a unique dialect or give recordings of people speaking interesting ways (but which may be a special Navajo dialect or Zuni dialect or broader Southwest dialect for all we know; How can we know? We have no sources telling us that they're speaking with a specifically New Mexican accent of English)

  • Comment - flipping through the first few, it seems they all won medals at the Asian Championships. It isn't the Asian Games, but it's still continental and I'm assuming is a major international event. IMO that should count toward keeping the profiles. —МандичкаYO 😜 05:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all At this moment it doesn't seem like any of them meet any notability criteria, including GNG. Given the strength of the Iranian wrestling team, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them have success at the adult world championships (my first pick would be Yarahmadi) but that falls under WP:CRYSTALBALL.

The result was delete per WP:SNOW. With zero hits other than this article (not even junk hits), I have to assume that there is nothing to be found. I'll re-open this for the full week if anyone really wants it, but with the complete and total lack of coverage elsewhere I doubt that the outcome will be different if it did run for a full week.

  • Delete – As far as I know the ELO ranking for clubs is not used in any competition, just an alternative ranking, and it is not notable. Qed237 (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC

  • Delete - Elo is a widely used ranking system, but it is not used in any official capacity in football. No issues with noting the Elo ranking of clubs in their individual articles, but no need for a stat dump for an unofficial listing. Fenix down (talk) 08:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Elo is the only rating system that is independent on criteria/match/system (think: league, cup, champions etc.), so its importance is central to rank clubs in a non capricious and non arbitrary way.
The parallel Elo rating article - World Football Elo Ratings is widely linked to [58] even if it seems not to have any competitive legal consequences.
Regarding the low level of references, it is a new article, hence its a starting point. But a well known system like Elo rating is not something that can be said "lacking references" Jazi Zilber (talk) 15:42, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
