I created this article about a year ago thinking the release would be moderately popular and notable, but that didn't end up being the case and it didn't even get a single review. I don't think the subject of this article is notable enough for a Wikipedia entry, so I think it should be deleted. Littlecarmen (talk) 22:52, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2015 Washington, D.C., quadruple murder[edit]

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

WP:NOTNEWSPAPER - Neither the perpetrator nor any of the victims appear to be notable. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 21:40, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Obviously, you and I have different ideas of what constitutes notaable, but the entire family looks notable to me. The father was the CEO and President of the company American Iron Works, a construction company that helped build major D.C. buildings, such as the Verizon Center and the CityCenterDC. That in an of itself establishes notability for the victim and his entire family. Not to mention the fact that many reputable news organizations have covered the homicides. One of the notability guidelines is "significant coverage", and, well, this has gotten significant coverage in reputable news media. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and as for the "WP:NOTNEWSPAPER" thing you linked to, one of the things it specifically says is this: "For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." Well, reporting on a quadruple homicide is not "routine news reporting". Quadruple homicides don't happen every single day, and certainly aren't routine. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 21:50, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know you created this article [1] but you need to demonstrate what makes these killings notable; was there significant coverage of any of the family members prior to this event? If so, please provide sources. In 2013 there were an estimated 14,196 murders in the US. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 22:09, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't any significant coverage of Walter Scott before his death, yet when he was shot at nine times in the back by a police officer and died, a Wikipedia article was created about him, and rightly so. Therefore, just because there isn't any significant coverage before death does not warrant deletion. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then I will assume you have no sources for prior notability. Regarding Walter Scott, are you saying you don't see the difference between this event and that one? -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 22:32, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can't start claiming exceptions now. You said this warrants deletion because there wasn't any "significant coverage of any of the family members prior to this event". By that logic, we'd have to delete the articles on the shootings of Walter Scott, and Trayvon Martin, as well as the article on the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey. That's why your logic doesn't make sense to me. I see the difference between this event and the Walter Scott one, but that doesn't make it automatically okay to subvert your "rule" that someone must have significant coverage before a person's death. Therefore, your argument is invalid. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 22:43, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the top of this page you'll see my reason for deletion: Neither the perpetrator nor any of the victims appear to be notable. - This is a news story about a murdered family that will shortly be out of the news cycle. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 23:05, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"This is a news story about a murdered family that will shortly be out of the news cycle." And with that comment, Somedifferentstuff, I direct you to WP:NOTABILITY – where it specifically states the following:"Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Therefore, even if you're right that the story will soon be out of the news cycle, it has already received significant coverage by multiple media outlets, and as such ongoing coverage is not required. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 23:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SilverSurfingSerpent: That's not how Notability is not temporary works. See WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. This is not significant coverage. Significant coverage is the Trayvon Martin case, the Rodney King story, large cases that are major news stories for months. ― Padenton|✉ 13:59, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read WP:CRIME. I won't comment here further. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 23:20, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you've made it clear you won't address my actual arguments that are completely in policy in Wikipedia notability guideline, I won't comment here further. However, reading that, it's obvious that this article does comport with those guidelines. Mr. Savopoulos did have a role in a well-documented historical event: The building of the Verizon Center, through his construction company American Iron Works. That is all. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 23:34, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a "well-documented historical event". The Verizon Center is notable. That's it. ― Padenton|✉ 13:59, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree 100% with SilverSurfingSerpent. To SilverSurfingSerpent, don't bother wasting your breath. This nomination is ridiculous and without any merit whatsoever. All of the (supposed) reasons offered by Somedifferentstuff are just plain wrong. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:09, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph A. Spadaro: That may be the least productive comment I've seen in an AfD all month. WP:ATA ― Padenton|✉ 13:59, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:, Speedily so. The incident has been covered on national and international media. It passes GNG and should be kept as an article. I think the nominator got confused between notability of "perpetrators" and "events". For example, we do not have an article on every single person who was killed during 9/11 but we do have an article about 9/11, same analogy here, the event is notable and should be given a mainspace article. However, I would like to advise that the article is 'renamed' to a more encyclopedic name which gives information, such as Savopoulos family murders or The 2015 Mansion murders. both of the renames I have proposed give out more information than the current title. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 03:14, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article does need some cleanup which I will be very happy to do as soon as a decision is made to keep the article as per GNG.FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 03:14, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support, FreeatlastChitchat, and thank you for recognizing that my arguments are valid. As for your proposed name changes, I don't have a problem with them, I do like Savopoulos family murders more than 2015 Mansion murders though. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 03:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We can discuss the name change at some later point and in some other place. But, I will say that a name such as Savopoulos family murders is disrespectful to the housekeeper (and, not to mention, factually inaccurate). The housekeeper was just as much a victim and she should not be considered any "less" important than the Savopoulos family. What if I proposed a renamed title such as "the Veralicia Figueroa murder"? No, that would be equally unacceptable. But, back to the original point at hand: yes, this article is a snowball keep and a speedy keep. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:05, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:, this is not routine news, when it gets international coverage, and involves violence and evil more characteristic of a scripted terrorist attack than a random crime or disgruntled worker incident, WP:NOTNEWSPAPER needs to be clarified that significantly notable crimes like this don't get deleted just because there was no prior news coverage of suspect or victim. Bachcell (talk) 03:38, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Actually, Snowball Keep. Ridiculous and silly that this was even nominated. I mean, really? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

strong keep Huge coverage. Article can be edited and corrected in future when the suspect is arrested, prosecuted and declared guilty/innocent. Notability exists. 223.176.14.85 (talk) 07:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Events need to have Lasting impact and continued coverage. This is routine news. ― Padenton|✉ 13:59, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Look at the following: "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Also, routine news is stuff like weather reporting, sports, cars, etc. Reporting on a quadruple homicide of a prominent family in Washington, D.C. is not routine, it's unique, things like that just rarely ever happen in neighborhoods like that. Also, there will be ongoing coverage, specifically when the defendant in the case is going through a trial. Just saying. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 14:02, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SilverSurfingSerpent: As I explained to you above, this is not significant coverage. And "Temporary" does not refer to a few days. "Notability is not temporary" is talking about things that had significant coverage but are now no longer being discussed. i.e. Watergate scandal, Shooting of Trayvon Martin, etc. Things that are obviously notable yet are no longer receiving news coverage. "it's unique, things like that just rarely ever happen in neighborhoods like that" Completely untrue. Read more newspapers. "Also, there will be ongoing coverage" ...WP:CRYSTAL. ― Padenton|✉ 14:09, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SilverSurfingSerpent is correct; Padenton is not. This event has made international news. That is significant coverage. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This has been receiving a good amount of media coverage in the past few days. Considering the nature of the crime, the victims, and the fact that more perpetrators are out there, this will no doubt continue to be covered as more facts come along. My only criticism of the article is that some details need to be expanded on a little. Libertarian12111971 (talk) 21:23, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coverage is varied, in-depth and ongoing. Fairly unusual circumstances in the crime. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:40, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It doesn't matter whether the subjects are notable. The crime is notable in the Washington, DC, area. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

The person who created this article on May 21, 2015 [2] has been blocked indefinitely for being a sock puppet [3] -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That may be so. But, that has no bearing on this AfD discussion. Regardless of who created this article, we are discussing whether or not the subject is notable. From the looks of things above, this article is clearly heading for a "keep", if not a "snowball keep". Somedifferentstuff is the editor who nominated this article for deletion. I am curious as to why Somedifferentstuff mentioned this "update" about the alleged sock-puppet, when that information has no bearing whatsoever on the merits of the proposed deletion. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:04, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fact pertinent to the discussion, as he has participated quite heavily in this AfD. ― Padenton|✉ 22:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's true and you make an excellent (valid) point. However, the "update" informed the rest of us that (A) SilverSurfingSerpent created the article in question; the "update" did not inform us that (B) SilverSurfingSerpent particpiated heavily in this AfD discussion. Point "A" is irrelevant to this AfD discussion, Point B (as you pointed out) is indeed relevant. So, again, why is the "update" informing us of the irrelevant fact A, as opposed to the relevant fact B? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 23:59, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously. You are correct that none of the actors in this event are notable, however the event itself is very notable. I don't think the suspect, nor any of the family members should have pages of their own, of course. Because, like you said, they are not notable. But the event itself should definitely have a page because the event itself is definitely notable. Robo042 (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: if it was a pseudonym for one writer it would be a redirect. As it's a shared pseudonym, we need to link it to both writers. Whether or not it's technically a dab page, it needs to exist.

United States Senate election in Wyoming, 1988[edit]

This seems unnecessary and of questionable encyclopedic value. Most of the articles contain little more than a vote count and candidate names, and they're all sourced to the same (very basic) sources. The info in these articles is already in the article for the election as a whole anyway, I see no need for a separate article on each state. Fyddlestix (talk) 19:01, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LASTING Event has not had a lasting effect as it only finished a week ago. The article (in its author's version) makes no claim of any effects of the walk.

Delete. I'm not convinced that this satisfies our inclusion criteria, and I don't think a list that consists of a single element is really helping anything. With only one element and autobiography, it does come off as looking like a coatrack. Once this becomes a thing and people outside of Tasmania report on it, we can recreate the list (minus the autobiography). Another option would be to redirect to List of people who have walked across Tasmania, Australia, which seems to be more of an established event (though I have my doubts about that, too). Not everything that's reported in the news is fodder for an encyclopedia article. WikiNews is probably more appropriate for this sort of thing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:42, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an article about walking across or walking the perimeter of AUSTRALIA, It is an article about the first person in history to walk the perimeter of Tasmania. These events are NOT related. EarthWalkMan (talk) 05:01, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adjust Title and Relocate the Article ( with some modification ). As far as the List of people who have walked the perimeter of Tasmania, Australia is concerned, It is understand that Wikipedia is an Encyclopaedia ( giving information on many subjects or on many aspects ). I agree that the title of "List" may not be 'Currently' appropriate, given that Christopher Neil Linton is the first person in recored history to have achieved this World Record ( one person does not make a list ), however, the information about such a World Record walk should not be struck from the Encyclopaedia as it is a historical fact worth preserving and noting within an encyclopaedia, including Wikipedia. I am new to wikipedia and will learn as I go. So, what I suggest, that should satisfy the interlectual critics, is to adjust the title to reflect the historical event until such time that others complete the perimeter walk of Tasmania and then the article can be re-titled, resubmitted, and/or relocated. As editers, we should not only edit and suggest deletion, but should also advice as to how information can be maintained in an appropriate manner ( not just delete and have important facts disappear into cyber-space ). Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this historical event can be listed appropriately? Can it be titled "People who have walked the perimeter of Tasmania, Australia" or "Walking the perimeter of Tasmania, Australia" It seems to me that a solution can be found rather than a complete deletion. If wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia of facts, then there should be a space for this kind of historical event somewhere within the Encyclopaedia. Researchers, such as students and adventurers who may want to write an article or even challenge such records by walking it quicker and achieve like adventures for themselves will research these kinds of facts and wikipedia is often the first place they try to find these kinds of facts. EarthWalkMan (talk) 04:40, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't really a world record either. Guinness is quite reputable in these sorts of things, and they have several walking distance related records. Linton has a long way to go.

George Meegan 19,019 miles (30,608 km)
First circumnavigation: Dave Kunst 23,250 km (14,450 miles)

― Padenton|✉ 04:58, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Walking the perimeter of Tasmania certainly is a world record and officially recognised as such, needless to say, the discussion is not about a world record but about a person walking the perimeter of Tasmania. the World Record aspect can be referenced in due course.

What is a world record ( taken from Guinness's own website: What is a 'world' record?

World Records must fulfil some key criteria including ( in regard to the Tasmanian walk ):

1. Measurable - Is it the fastest / longest / heaviest / most? ( Longest, Yes ) 2. Breakable - Can the record be broken or repeated by someone else, open to being challenged. ( YES, people can do it quicker ) 3. Standardizable - Can the record title be done universally? For example, it cannot be related to something restricted to a region. ( Debatable ) 4. Verifiable - Can the claim be proven? For example, a claim such as ‘the man who never drank water’, can never be verified unless the man spent his whole life from birth under surveillance by a witness. ( Yes, it has been verified ) 4. One Variable – We can verify the Largest painting but would not consider the largest painting by the most people. ( Yes, it has ) 5. Absolute records not categories - For example, Fastest 100metre sprint but not the fastest 100 metre sprint by a Fireman. ( Yes ) 6. Universal - The proposal must be something, or about something that is known to the world’s majority. It cannot be too specific / regional. ( Debatable )

Walking across Australia or walking the perimeter of Australia is NOT the same thing or connected to walking the perimeter of Tasmania. They are different records, different activities. The walk around Tasmania has been completed and has been officially acknowledged as a world record. Linton has no need to go further. It is a completed record.

Delete - ahistorical and unencyclopediac and soapboxing. In the 1800s and early 1900s various individuals traversed the island in a number of ways that are equivalent to and very much more challenged ways in comparison to the claims made in two articles/lists. Tasmanian history and trying to claim a first do not match. A large number of people in various ways have traversed the island in much more straightened circumstances through eqiuvalent distances and much more difficult circumstances. I fail to see how it is something that requires 2 separate lists. Tasmania, Australia is not local Australian or Tasmanian usage and does not fit either. User:JarrahTree 11:05, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the perimeter is a gross innacuracy and not even close to what encyclopediac text should contain - 'simply walking the roads' is no-where near what the actual perimeter is of the island - the article deserves less and less credence the more I have checked it.

Comment Each piece of evidence Rhododendrites provides actually shows subject is below PROF threshold:

Subject does not hold a named chair; department chairships do not meet PROF. (And the school in question is not accredited?)
Subject does not have a national/international award. Local/regional awards do not meet PROF.
Subject does not hold a position as editor of a scholarly journal. Memberships on editorial boards do not meet PROF.
The European Committee of Sexual Medicine is not a "highly selective and prestigious scholarly society." All I could find about that group was from their own website http://www.essm.org/society/about-essm.html : "In 1994 in Singapore, during the ISIR (now ISSM) Annual Congress, the ESIR (European Society for Impotence Research) idea was born as the European development of the International Society for Impotence Research." Not a group one can really compare to IEEE, etc. The only other hits to that term are from third-world physicians putting it on their websites.
The college of physicians is a professional advocacy group, not a scholarly society.

The accomplishments listed are all well and good, but do not meet PROF.Barcaboy2 (talk) 09:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I could see, using ALL of the aids above, they DON'T exist. Many of the refs currently used, which create the impression of an RS article, do not support the text they are attached to. It would help to come to a fair assessment if the text were cleaned up such that it accurately represented what sources really say about Mr Moser, because MAYBE one or two do support SOME of the text, but the available evidence does not support notability of the subject.Pincrete (talk) 19:55, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Solar cycle (calendar)[edit]

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

Not notable. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 15:33, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Julian Solar cycle is extensively covered in many reliable sources as it is one of the major components of the Julian calendar. For example it is discussed in books such as Universal Technological Dictionary: Or, Familiar Explanations of the Terms Used in All Arts and Sciences and Fasti temporis catholici, and Origines kalendariæ and authoritative websites such as Timeanddate.com and Britannica. I can list more sources if you wish as there are thousands of references to it. This concept can be made into a complete article by itself by passing WP:GNG. Winner 42 Talk to me! 16:13, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, more or less per User:Winner 42's argument. This was one of the standard items in traditional accounts of calculating dates in the Julian calendar, and still gets covered in works on the history of calendars. There is an equivalent 400-year cycle for the Gregorian calendar, but for some reason or other (probably to do with its sheer length), it has been far less used. The article title is possibly slightly less than ideal, as modern works may refer to any of several other cycles involving the sun as "solar cycles" - and this can obviously produce a number of false positives when searching for sources. But there are still quite enough sources for notability. PWilkinson (talk) 22:20, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Ninja Kart racing is pretty much limited to the UK, so it is hard to call him a "world champion". There is no Wikipedia article about the Ninja Kart or its racing and negligible coverage of its races in reliable sources. He was killed driving Ministox, another non-notable small race car for kids. It's a memorial page based on memorial newspaper articles. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article claims he's from a "famous stock car racing family". If this is true, I'd expect WP to have articles on one or more of his family members to which this could be merged. Colapeninsula (talk) 11:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This poor lad's family members are not notable from a motor sport point of view, as far as I can see. Ninja Kart is pretty obscure in the motor sport world, and Ministox is barely notable.

As always, per WP:NPOL an unelected candidate for office does not earn an article on Wikipedia just for the fact of being a candidate — if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced case that they were already notable enough for an article for other reasons independent of the candidacy, then they must win the election, not just run in it, to become notable enough. But that hasn't been demonstrated here; the article just asserts that he exists, and fails to cite a single source at all.

Yes, but said information ought to be selective, not just "whatever anyone could someday want to search".

Weak delete. I think it's going to be difficult to come up with online sources to establish notability for this early entrant in the Beginner Books series. Perhaps worthy of note, for someone's future attention, is that the author, Marshall "Mike" McClintock, played a significant role in the career of Dr. Seuss: a Dartmouth friend, McClintock was a brand-new juvenile book editor at Vanguard Press when he was responsible for the publication of Seuss's first kids' book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street: Seuss dedicated the book to McClintock's wife and renamed the protagonist Marco after McClintock's son. Much later, McClintock wrote several books for Seuss's Beginner Books series. [10][11][12]. According to this publisher's bio for McClintock [13] he died in 1967, so it might take some off-line digging to come up with an obituary, but maybe with some effort a reasonable bio article could be written. (Apparently Mike McClintock existed as an unsourced article until it was deleted by prod in 2012. [14]) --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:58, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a private start-up launched two years ago which pretty comprehensively fails WP:ORG. Note that while the article claims it was started in 2012, their own website says that it was launched in 2013. [19] Having examined the sources, I agree with the nominator that they are all essentially press-release based. The article is clearly written to drum up business. Even if kept, 80% of it would need to be removed. Although this it is not in itself a reason to delete, I note that this has all the earmarks of a "paid for" article—springing fully formed from a brand new editor as their first edit, complete with perfectly formatted infobox and "references". Voceditenore (talk) 08:20, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article could use more content, but checking the references I find: #1 a substantial article #2 dead link #3 a promotional site (you write your own content) #4 mention #5 mention #6 article about getting significant VC funding #7 substantial article (local biz journal, AFAIK) #8&#9 no longer link to relevant article. I would say that #1, 6 & 7 are enough to establish notability. The article does need to be updated. LaMona (talk) 23:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obviously promotional/paid for article. #6 is borderline WP:ROUTINE, #7's use of bold blinded me in addition to being a very promotional article from a very small news organization whose website looks like this. #1 is the only reliable significant coverage of this business, but the article cannot rest on the back of that single source and LaMona has already ruled out the remaining sources.

Comment - Maybe I missed something, but I do not see why a "promotional" article needs deleted if it is notable. Anything can be stripped down to a few basic statements establishing notability. While some of the coverage looks routine, there are references out there such as this [20] that look like they would support notability. Not sure how to vote yet, but wanted to point out that promotion shouldn't be a reason for deletion when we could simply cut out the majority of the article which is promotional.--TTTommy111 (talk) 05:39, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Every one of those "articles" is a press release from the company (or the VC firm funding it) or is quite explicitly based on one. Voceditenore (talk) 11:28, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Voceditenore Which press releases are the profile ones from, specifically? Why does this one and this one have conversational style quotes that appear nowhere else? —Мандичка^YO 😜 12:07, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The first one is from indianweb2.com, a blog where start-ups can publicize themselves. See their "about us" and also scroll to the bottom of the "article" and observe the author's blurb:

"A graduate working as a mechanical engineer, Vinay loves to talk and learn about everyone's story and then pen it down. In case you wish to get yours done, shoot a message to him at..."

The second one from youstory.com is more of the same. See their "about us":

"India’s no.1 media platform for entrepreneurs [...] At YourStory, we have a singular passion – to tell the world your story and to enable your story!"

There are loads of sites like this which exist to provide publicity platforms for start-ups and generate faux "media stories" for them complete with quotes. Coverage in such sources does not indicate genuine notability. Voceditenore (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OIC. So, to sum up, first you claimed "every one" of the articles was a press release. So either you lied about that, which I am definitely not accusing you of, but the only other alternative is you never even looked at them in the first place. Oops... that, combined with your "delete" comment above, indicates strongly the reasons why you are against this article, and it's nothing to do with GNG... Even though you're now admitting they're not press releases but they're not good enough sources for you because of your theory that they exist only as a sham to deliver "faux" news, rather than genuinely covering the thriving tech startup scene in India that is a huge industry with a worldwide audience. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my original delete comment "I agree with the nominator that they are all essentially press-release based" and I stand by that per my analysis of the YourStory.com and indianweb2.com stories which you queried. And yes, I did examine all the sources in the article before !voting delete. You are of course entitled to disagree with my analysis, just as I think you have a rather naive view of the PR business. The Forbes article you linked to is completely irrelevant to this discussion. ReGlobe isn't even mentioned in it. The fact that the start-up phenomenon is "big" in India, does not make every Indian start-up notable. Voceditenore (talk) 16:11, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Shiite you don't know what a press release is if you think the yourstory.com and indianweb2.com articles are "press release-based" and not "interview-based"... Please link to the press release that these come from. It shouldn't take you too long. And I know about the PR business, but I'm more concerned about Wikipedia's guidelines for notability, and the crew that have so much sand in their vaginas about paid editors on WP that they nominate for AfD every article they suspect of being written by one, regardless of that being true and also regardless of the article's notability, just to prove a WP:POINT. Well that's it - I don't want to keep you from your search from finding the press releases that those ~~interviews~~ press releases come from! —Мандичка^YO 😜 18:55, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now because all in all, they actually haven't received as much coverage as it could be, sure the Amazon deal is good but it's basically the best known thing. Searches here (results start to fade by page 3), here (two links), here (browser finding some of the same links) and here (one press release and the other albawaba.com) all sum to not much.

Keep - Earlier left a comment, but now leaving a keep vote. Despite the promotional tone, the article has sufficient coverage to meet notability guidelines.

Mary Katharine Duffie, Ph.D.[edit]

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

This autobiography is written as a resume. It appears to fail general notability standards. Besides an example of publish or perish in the academic community and its technical literature, it fails to add significance to the encyclopedia. A Prod failed when the autobiographer removed the notice and contributed more details to the article. I like to saw logs! (talk) 06:24, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Written by the subject, does not establish notability as shown in WP:SCHOLAR. James Cage (talk) 15:43, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANSWER: I can understand how it may appear written as a resume, but I did not intend to sell or persuade anyone on my background - at all. It may have looked like a resume because I was trying to keep it short. I tried to follow the page structure on a number of anthropologists in wiki.

Perhaps you were immediately turned off, because autobiography is discouraged (for obvious reasons.) But, my intentions were actually opposite. Over the years I have been contacted by many people about my work - from defense attorneys, to lay people interested in New Zealand, to other academics needing specific information about the health and culture of American Indians and Maori. As I wrote the article, I was partly thinking of New Zealand and American Indian researchers as these are a very small but increasingly important group of academics. They are merging their research collectively into an indigenous epistemology, with an emphasis on global patterns in neocolonialism. Those who take a fourth world approach, as I did, to solving sociocultural patterns are pioneers in that way. More broadly, my life's work is unique and original as it was impacted by study with Vine DeLoria, jr. who turned anthropology upside down with his disdain for etic (or outsider analysis) interpretations among anthropologoligical ethnographies (i.e, in the 1980s-90s, he was reeling against the grain of truth in the following joke: Q. what composes an Indian family? A. Single mother, two kids and an anthropologist). I was one of the first, if not the first, Indian researcher(s) to incorporate these criticisms into all of my work, drawing on Clifford Geertz and Shostak from the anthro side. There are two books, a major research grant, and at least five journal articles that are mostly all readable by lay and academic alike. In fact, one book was written for a public audience in New Zealand. I also tried very hard to keep it nontechnical, as most of my hyperlinks bring the reader to already established wiki pages. I only included 2-3 external definition links, and these are very easy to read. Also, the autobiography references a research article that contains an original, unique theory about the physiologic, psychologic and cultural relationships that result in cross-cultural psycho-somatic illness. The theory earned a prestigious signal honor from the Society of Medical Anthropology. Perhaps I could redo the article and include some of the above analysis, or that which you may suggest (with consensus permission of course) from the other editors? Please also NOTE: I also did not intentionally remove any prods, so please don't hold that against the article. It must have happened by mistake. Example (talk) 21:25, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please identify which notability standards are missing. I should be able to address these with a bit more research and give the needed proof.

In a more general sense, I look forward to adding bits of clarifying information on many of the Maori, New Zealand and American Indian culture pages, separate from my own work of course. And, I hope to make a friendly relationship with many of you.

Thanks for considering ways to improve the article. I am a diligent responder. — Preceding mkduffie comment added by 205.161.250.173 (talk) 21:37, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do hope you will stay involved at Wikipedia, but in my opinion you have no place editing this article. I would never consider an article written by the subject to be worthy of including in an encyclopedia. It undermines the credibility of the article, and of the encyclopedia itself. It is impossible to consider such an article to be unbiased. I think you'll find that to be close to a consensus among Wikipedia editors (and all other encyclopedia editors, for that matter). You can read more at WP:AB. To be clear, I am not encouraging you to change, edit, or expand your autobiography here.

In general, should there be an encyclopedia entry for Mary Katharine Duffie? From what I've seen, I don't believe so. That says nothing negative about you or your career. Your autobiographical article documents work you have done, but does not seem to show that you or your work has received extraordinary notice by others. Speaking strictly for myself, it seems to be in line with the accomplishments and awards of other academics. Academic requirements are neatly summarized at WP:SCHOLAR. If you are curious, or if you want to contribute to articles about other academics, I urge you to read them. But again, as regards this article, I see no point in discussing this. Instead, I urge you to read some of the deletion discussion lists shown at the bottom of this page (for example the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions) for some perspective on this process.

I honestly believe that if a person is notable, someone else will take note of them and write a Wikipedia entry. If that doesn't happen, there's your answer. (And no, I am absolutely not recommending that you recruit someone else to write an article for you. You should have nothing to do with your own article.) Of course, I am just one of many thousands of contributors. Wikipedia is a rough democracy, and I'm just a single vote here. But as odd as it may seem, it's very effective.

Keep. Satisfies GNG due to extensive coverage in GBooks, GNews (I count about twenty sources in the first and more than 650 results in the second) and elsewhere. This article does not satisfy any of the criteria of NOTDIRECTORY. It isn't a list (criteria 1 and 4), a genealogical entry (2), a collection of contact information (3), a sales catalogue (5) or an un-encyclopedic cross categorisation (6). "Directory of information" is gibberish and I don't see how this article could possibly be characterized as a "directory" in any meaningful sense of that word. We certainly don't delete an article because it is a collection of information, because all encyclopedia articles are collections of information. I'm fairly certain that the nominator has no idea what the word "directory" means. The Compact OED defines it essentially a list of people or bodies with contact details. This article isn't one, and there is no reason why it should be either, in view of the sources available. As a obvious redirect, with mergeable content, to Escambia County and Escambia County Sheriff, this page isn't eligible for deletion under any circumstances, and should not have been nominated (WP:R). AfD isn't for merger proposals. And that is exactly what this is: a merger proposal masquerading as an AfD. If the nominator wants to merge articles on police agencies into the areas they police, he should do so through the normal channels (Wikipedia:Proposed mergers), instead of wasting the time of the AfD volunteers, as there is zero prospect of any of these articles being deleted under existing guidelines, because we don't delete mergeable content or plausible redirects. I hope this recent spate of hopeless nominations will now cease, and that these merger proposals will be sent to the place where they are meant to go. James500 (talk) 20:45, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikimandia: The result in that AfD is what is known as an 'outlier' or 'fluke'. Obviously incorrect results do unfortunately happen at AfD. Frankly, that particular AfD should probably be sent to DRV on grounds that consensus is not a 'head count', and, in this respect, during the AfD, it was pointed out, correctly, that the guideline WP:R required redirection, and no valid counter-argument (nor any counter-argument at all, for that matter) was offered by anyone, and thus consensus was for redirection and was not assessed correctly. I'm afraid I don't have the time or patience to send it there myself. James500 (talk) 17:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Off-topic discussion

OK you really need to familiarize yourself with WP:ORGDEPTH in particular. Just because there are multiple results in a Google search does NOT satisfy the requirements. Do you understand this? If you want your vote to actually mean something, then provide the links that you say support notability instead of just replying to all of these AfD and saying "I googled it and there were results that I found so therefore it's notable! I found (X) results so that means notable! And I'm not going to link to a single one as proof because they are all proof!" It's right there in the WP guidelines that this is totally insufficient to establish notability. It's pretty obvious you're having some trouble understanding GNG as a concept, or you know what the guidelines are and you don't care, or, even more entertaining a possibly, you're just trolling. —Мандичка^YO 😜 02:23, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You know perfectly well that is not what I said at all. You know perfectly well that I said that the topic satisfies GNG because of the "extensive coverage" (in other words significant coverage) contained inside those (independent, reliable, secondary etc.) sources, and not because of their number alone. You know perfectly well that a closing admin would not have the slightest difficulty understanding that is what I was saying there. You know perfectly well, because it has been explained to you over and over and over again, by myself and others, that, under the guidelines, there is no need to provide a webliography of links to sources that come up immediately with search engines like GBooks and GNews, for the benefit of those who don't know how to use Google. You know perfectly well that, notwithstanding this, I did provide a set of links, immediately before the text of my !vote. I understand GNG better than you. I am more familiar with ORGDEPTH than you. You know perfectly well that I have not ignored any guidelines whatsoever. You may however, wish to read the policy Wikipedia:Ignore all rules, and discover that it says that editors can ignore any policy or guideline that prevents them from improving or maintaining Wikipedia (not that I have any need to invoke that policy in this case, your arguments having no sound basis whatsoever in those guidelines). I would be grateful if you would simply refrain from making absurd accusations of trolling on any occasion whatsoever in future. And I absolutely cannot fathom what you mean by linking that last comment of yours to List of people known as the Lame, or why you would find that "entertaining", whatever that means. James500 (talk) 22:36, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

James500 You either don't respect the WP:GNG or don't understand (I'm not sure which would be worse) as evidenced by what you post on all these AfDs. I and many others have told you over and over that there is no inherent notability for municipal organizations such as police departments. You very well know that and you acknowledged that yourself when you wrote on the Org Guidelines that you don't agree and wanted that changed (and then you also claim here that the Org Guidelines are "a mess" and are "under discussion" (because you started one) and it seemed it hadn't "reached a consensus" (because nobody was agreeing with you. You're not "ignoring all rules", you're just refusing to follow ones you don't like. And I will say yes, I have absolutely no confidence that you understand the definition of "extensive coverage" or "significant coverage" is, as you've failed to supply one single example. I'm wondering if you don't even get how this forum works, as evidenced by your decision to vote KEEP on an article that was a blatant how-to/advertisement (and was speedily deleted as one), saying you didn't understand why they were saying that it was How To/Ad, and that you were going to vote KEEP to "balance out" their DELETE votes because you said were cast based on "manifest nonsense" ... oh yeah ... and claiming the spam article was referenced because it linked to a law and all laws are right and therefore reliable (even though the article was not actually citing the text of the law at all, but using it to disguise that it was an ad! ... Even though they were probably using Google Translate, nobody else was pretending that was a legit reference.) So, either you actually don't know how to verify references, or you don't understand why verifying a reference is a step you need to take before you claim it's a valid reference... or you know very well it's required but because you believe "ignore all rules" applies to every single thing you do on Wikipedia, you will not be partaking in that particular step. Either way, I'm starting to think that perhaps AfD is not the right place for you to contribute to Wikipedia and if others have the same opinion. —Мандичка^YO 😜 16:24, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry but I simply lack the patience to deal in detail with irrelevant and misleading comments about what I may have said elsewhere. Suffice to say that I don't agree with your interpretation. For one example only, saying that I disagree with certain aspects of ORG is not the same thing as saying that I intend to ignore it. Do you understand the distinction? In any event, I haven't proposed to ignore ORG here. Likewise, if I recall correctly the discussion of AUD, and certain other parts of ORG to which I referred, in another AfD, which is not relevant, part of which is now archived, was started by CT Cooper months ago, and not by me, as you claim. And ... I could go on but I'm not going to. If you read the edit notice that appears when you try to edit an AfD, you will find it says something to the effect that commenting on other editors, instead of the article, is considered disruptive. In view of that, I would be grateful if you would simply stop commenting on me, as it is not even relevant to the article that is supposed to be the subject of this AfD. You would not like it if I was to search through your contributions for any editing that I disagree with and present it as evidence of 'incompetence'. And I don't want to do that either. And you cannot ask editors to leave AfD because they are more inclusionist than you would like them to be. If editors came here and !voted "keep per SCNR", something I have never done, that would be perfectly fine, though their arguments would likely gain little traction and be accorded little weight. It would be no worse than !voting "delete per MILL", as happens all the time, which essay is equally at odds with the real guidelines. In order to determine consensus, editors absolutely must say what they really think. Some editors, for example, faced with this AfD would actually insist that GNG was satisfied by the number of news results alone. I would not endorse them, (I would invoke NRVE ("likely to exist") instead, which would be applicable), but I would not pretend that there is a rule against advancing unorthodox or unpopular arguments, and start demanding that they leave AfD forever. If other editors do not agree with my assessment of notability, they will come along and say so, so what I say doesn't really matter anyway. But I don't think that is likely to happen, because, in truth, topics with many hundreds of news sources are rarely deleted or merged, despite the fact that, in practice, the outcome of an AfD primarily depends on who !votes in it, as evidenced by the lack of consistency in results. (Guidelines are also meant to be descriptive rather than prescriptive). So, instead of continuing this irrelevant argument ad infinitum, why not just wait and see what other editors think? I personally really do not want to reply here again. James500 (talk) 03:18, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. Satisfies GNG, due to coverage in the sources cited in the article, in GBooks and elsewhere, of which there are quite a lot. In my honest opinion the coverage available, and his positions as district judge, chairman of the board of governors of Alberta College, and senator of the University of Alberta, amongst others, add up to notability for someone who died in 1931. Comments such as "Few men of Edmonton are more widely known throughout the Province and the Northwest than Hedley Clarence Taylor, Judge of the District Court of the District of Edmonton of the Province of Alberta", in his own dedicated article in a general history of the Alberta province, do tend to suggest notability.

Lists and categories can co-exist, as has been demonstrated numerous times, and is not sufficient reason for deletion. In fact, the existence of the category supports keeping the list. Also, Time magazine article: "Seven A.I. Movies That Are Better Than Transcendence". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:34, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support delete per Listcruft. I simply noted this was already a category, so I'm not crying too much over its deletion. Also the Time magazine article doesn't support this list existing. Churning out lists is common thanks to Buzzfeed and people's short attention span. Here's a fully useless list from Time - Top 10 Things That Broke the Internet.

The Time article demonstrates, along with the other lists, that the media do compile lists of these films. I've also added additional info that don't come up in the category (pro-list argument #1). Actually, this is a more-to-the-point Time list. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:17, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Clarityfiend, and would go further to say that there are no encyclopedic, (especially open encyclopedic) lists of this variety suitable for cataloguing artificial intelligences in film. As far as list-based articles go, this one goes several steps further by conveniently and clearly listing other relevant film and topic metadata that does not fit into other lists. --MahmoudHashemi (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:LISTN as noted above. WP:CLN and WP:NOTPAPER tell us that it's fine to have lists of this sort. WP:LISTCRUFT is an essay, not policy, and that's why we have thousands of lists. Andrew D. (talk) 08:33, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This differs from the category in that it is not just a list of the films themselves but it names and categorizes the AI. In fact, it might be more accurate to call this the List of Artificial Intelligences in Films, because that is what distinguishes it from any list of the films themselves. LaMona (talk) 16:41, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Eh, I guess there are enough sources listed above to show that it passes WP:LISTN as a notable topic in its own right. I still don't like having two articles that overlap so much, but I guess one is an unsourced article full of original research in prose format, and the other is an unsourced list. So, there are differences. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary detail of qualification for Figure skating at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics. The article as an appropriate section covering this so merging does not sense, nor does redirecting. Whpq (talk) 11:07, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge The article is basically just tables of results; so merge the appropriate tables back to their respective articles for this meet (eg men's singles, women's singles, etc). I don't see a need to have a separate article about qualification when it's much better organized by discipline, and there is nothing unique about the qualification to support it being its own article. —Мандичка^YO 😜 03:08, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bing Crosby's legacy[edit]

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

A hodgepodge of synthesis, and to the extent it is not a miscellaneous assortment of facts, the material is covered adequately already at Bing Crosby. Speedy delete was declined (!) for this third recreation and I recommend that the page be salted to prevent a fourth. JohnInDC (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I want to create a well-organized page of facts of the awards and nominations received by Bing Crosby and thought I might as well put his other achievements there. Other artists have these pages, such as The Beatles and Frank Sinatra and that material is already covered on their pages, so why delete this one? (Utzdman55 (talk) 15:06, 16 May 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Delete and I would have agreed with the speedy delete. WP is not a platform for fanzines or essays, which this appears to be. Also the article struggles with a neutral point of view.--Rpclod (talk) 16:37, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment::- The article was inappropriately tagged for speedy deletion here per WP:CSD#A1 by User:Jorm but I declined it with no prejudice against its deletion through this medium (WP:AfD) if notability is in doubt because, A1 does not applies to articles with enough context to identifies the subject. I found no deletion log for the page prior to declining the speedy deletion per A1, I would have tagged it appropriately, although am not aware that Bing Crosby already exist. Having said that, I think the page should be redirected to Bing Crosby since the page already mention the subject of the article according to the nominator.

Comment::- I think I should delete the page but put the charts within the Bing Crosby page to compliment the data. Thoughts? (Utzdman55 (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2015 (UTC))[reply]
Comment::- @Rpclod This article doesn't support Bing Crosby. It is an article of facts. Just facts. If you look at those facts, you would see that they are not opinions. The article doesn't struggle with a neutral point of view because it tells facts. And those facts are backed up by sources that tell me that they are true. Bing Crosby was the most popular entertainer of all time. He could have sold the most records ever and has sold the 3rd most movie tickets of all time. In 1947, he was declared most admired man alive. At the height of his radio show, he had 1/3 of America listening. In 1948, he was half of all radio (more than 40,000 hours). No entertainer (in 2 or more main mediums) has put up those numbers since. These are not opinions, just facts. I'm pretty sure you didn't know all of these facts so you just jumped to conclusions. Next time just please be careful. This is just an article of facts. (Utzdman55 (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Cancelled 2009 Reunion Tour[edit]

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

This is a non-notable, canceled concert tour that fails both WP:GNG and WP:CONCERT. The concert tour was cancelled so the band could record an album. The first non-reliable source provided in the article references the second non-reliable source provided in the article that states the nature of the cancellation.

Delete. This looks to be redundant to Mechanize Tour, which was supposed to have begun in August 2009 in the various countries listed in this article. I'd recommend a speedy delete since it's essentially the same thing. The only difference is that this article lists the cancelled tour dates while the other does not. Even if the tour was revamped into the Mechanize Tour or was a completely separate tour, I don't see where this cancelled portion really merits its own article. It's already mentioned in Mechanize Tour and that's all that it really warrants. I'd recommend against redirecting since this title is fairly generic and doesn't seem like it'd be a likely search hit. It could be that someone would use this term to search for the cancelled 2009 shows by Fear Factory... or they could be looking for a cancelled tour by a completely different artist/group.

Keep It's clear that the subject does meet WP:GNG. Lack of evidence in the article is grounds for marking with templates, not nomination.

In my search I found the following a number of references including one that stated he had worked with Amnesty International within the country. I have added the ones I found.

However, most of them do not have the subject of the AfD as the primary subject of their content, nor do any of those sources give significant coverage to the events. While it could be argued that the verified content can be merged into the article about Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and a redirect left in its place, that can be done without the redirect, as the redirect can be seen as being only promotional in nature.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - entirely in-universe, fictional detail written without any sources. If someone can find the sources to meet the GNG, I'd still recommend delete per WP:TNT, as it would have to be entirely rewritten. That's s a huge "if" though - I imagine the significant coverage from third party reliable sources does not exist, as most fictional video game cities don't get much attention like that.

Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. Not independently notable from the game, but not even sufficiently notable as a search term to warrant a redirect to the main article.

Delete per nom —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:35, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read WP:PERNOM yet? --TL22 (talk) 17:50, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, Wikipedia's baseline criterion for the notability of a radio station is that it has a broadcast license from the appropriate media-regulation authority (the FCC in the United States, the CRTC in Canada, OFCOM in the UK, etc.) — any station which has that is always a valid topic for an article, but that "validity in principle" does not confer an exemption from the article having to be properly written and sourced. This article, however, is resting entirely on primary sources — and is only just barely removed from being speediable as blatant advertising (the lack of advertorial adjectives being about the only thing that keeps it from falling over the line.) And no radio station, even if it is officially eligible for an article, gets to keep that kind of article. Delete, without prejudice against recreation of a better and more properly sourced version in the future. Bearcat (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Bearcat, what are you talking about? Having a broadcast license is not a qualification in any way. Radio stations must meet regular WP:GNG. See WP:BROADCAST —Мандичка^YO 😜 16:16, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I suspect you're misunderstanding my point, if you think it's in conflict with yours. I didn't say that sources didn't have to be there — in fact, I specifically said that they do have to be there. If an article is properly sourced, however, then a radio station does not have to claim any special or unique notability above and beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — the broadcast license is all it takes for the radio station to be eligible to have a properly sourced article written about it, but the quality of sourcing that can or cannot be provided is still what determines whether we actually keep or delete any particular version of that article. And this isn't properly sourced in the least, which is why I argued to delete — but if a new, better article can be written which does cite proper sourcing, then it would be eligible to keep that version. Bearcat (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Bearcat, I know what you're saying and you're not correct - the broadcast license is totally irrelevant to eligibility and irrelevant to anything relating to a Wikipedia article. Have you never heard of Category:Pirate radio stations? —Мандичка^YO 😜 17:46, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - You're still misunderstanding (and I'm a longstanding member of WP:WPRS, actually one of the original creators of that project and one of the drafters of WP:NMEDIA, so I'm hardly somebody who needs to be educated on the finer points of a guideline I wrote in the first place.) Nothing I said above discounts the possibility of a pirate radio station also being considered notable — but that takes being able to properly source enough notability, above and beyond the mere fact of its existence, to counter the lack of a license with a "got covered enough to satisfy WP:GNG" claim. For a duly licensed radio station, however, the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article — that article can still be deleted as an advertisement if it's written and sourced this badly, but if the article were properly sourced then the license itself would be all the notability that it takes to make the article keepable. That doesn't negate the necessity of sourcing the article properly — an article can still be deleted if it's this bad, but we just can't deem it permanently ineligible to have a better article recreated in the future. And neither does it discount the possibility of a pirate station also clearing the bar for other reasons independent of its licensing status — pirates can still qualify if there's enough sourcing to demonstrate a cultural influence beyond the mere fact of existing, and just don't get an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        "the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article."← This does not make sense so I must not be understanding. The license is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with anything, and it's not a factor in any way, shape or form. It makes no difference toward "eligibility" for an article. If this is any kind of guideline, why is not mentioned in WP:NMEDIA (or anywhere else)? Maybe things have changed since the "old days" because there is no "eligibility" for anything. Any possible thing in the world is "eligible" if it meets GNG. —Мандичка^YO 😜 18:06, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Let me try this in different words, then: if an article about a duly licensed radio station is properly sourced (which, again, I said right up front that this isn't), then you cannot take it to AFD on the grounds that it would have to pass any higher notability bar beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — we do not separate licensed radio stations into distinct "notable" and "non-notable" classes on any criterion beyond their licensing status. If it's written and sourced this badly, then yes, it can absolutely be nuked and paved as a WP:NOTADVERT violation, with no prejudice and no permanent injunction against the future recreation of a properly sourced new article. (Pirate stations can still be eligible for articles if you can source a substantive claim of notability independent of their licensing status, but they're not automatically eligible to have an article just because they exist — it takes a higher volume of reliable source coverage to get a pirate into Wikipedia than it does for a licensed radio station, but neither class of radio station gets to rest on no reliable sourcing.) Again, this article is not properly sourced, and is fully deletable in this form — we're in complete agreement on that. But if the article were properly sourced, then the fact of having a broadcast license would be the only notability claim it had to make, and it would not have to demonstrate any special level of notability beyond that fact. But for the moment, I'm not sure why we're even having this discussion — even though we both expressed the same opinion on the keepability or deletability of this article, you're quibbling with something I said about how the article might become salvageable, instead of with the position that we share on the actual article that we're actually looking at? Even though, when you get right down to it, we're actually saying the same thing (i.e. reliable sourcing) about how the article might become keepable too — and so you're really just arguing with the wording I'm using to express the same thing you are? Bearcat (talk) 18:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        I see what you're saying, however, I don't see anywhere that information is listed; ie if someone were to claim that in an AfD, where would they find that vital piece of information? It seems that that might be something that was discussed at some point, but is not in the actual guideline or any essays. As you see, it's not in WP:NMEDIA. —Мандичка^YO 😜 19:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        I think what Мандичка was trying to say is that the license does not give notability to an article. I wasn't able to find anything that says otherwise. Having a license does not allow an article to pass WP:GNG, at least from what I have seen. I might be missing something on the finer details of what a license does and does not entitle an article to. I was basing this AFD an the sole grounds that there was nothing specifically notable about it, not as much so the references and writing of the article. LethalFlower^Talk/Reply 03:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        If the article is sourced properly — which this absolutely isn't — then a radio station doesn't have to have anything "special" about it beyond the fact of having a broadcast license. The license doesn't get the station over GNG by itself if proper sourcing isn't present, but I never said that it did. Bearcat (talk) 02:20, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Ok, lets assume that the article is properly written and with quality secondary sources. I haven't been able to find where a broadcasting license alone would give it notability? Maybe im missing something, but I havent found anything on that. LethalFlower^Talk/Reply 03:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        WP:NMEDIA, primary criterion: A media outlet is presumed notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. In other words, as long as proper sourcing is present in the article to give it a WP:GNG pass, no media outlet — no newspaper, no radio station, no television station, etc. — actually has to make any special claim of notability above and beyond "it exists and these reliable sources prove it". See also WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. Bearcat (talk) 07:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't want to start posting links as which is greater than the other but WP:ORG is wikipedia policy. I know that your a lot, lot more experienced on wikipedia than I am, I'm just trying to make sure I understand what your trying to say. On WP:ORG it says that "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." and this should be deferred to over any conflict over the WP:NMEDIA or WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. LethalFlower^Talk/Reply 15:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        Nothing I said in that comment, or indeed anywhere in this entire discussion, is in any kind of conflict with that passage from WP:ORG — that passage is exactly what I've been saying the whole freaking time: if proper reliable sources are present in the article — though they aren't here, which is why I argued to delete — then the radio station does not need to make any special claim of notability beyond the fact of existing as a licensed radio station, because the sources satisfy WP:GNG and WP:ORG in and of themselves. There's no conflict between what I said and what WP:ORG says, which is why I don't understand how we've gotten so bogged down on this tangent. Bearcat (talk) 18:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep. A valid rationale for deletion has not been presented in the nomination. See WP:DEL-REASON for examples of valid deletion rationales. While it's arguable that the nominator could theoretically intend #14 at DEL-REASON as a basis for the nomination, this is not stated, the rationale herein is subjective, and the fact that this article went through and passed a GA review in 2012 serves to negate the notions presented in the nomination.
