Khamoshiyan (song)[edit]

Song fails WP:NSONGS for no multiple, non-trivial, independent sources. One claim is of "Mirchi Top 20" #6 position. But there is no clarity on how these charts are prepared on their website. Also, TOI publishing this top 20 list shouldn't be considered as secondary source as TOI and Radio Mirchi are part of same Times Group. Other reviews from BH, Koimoi, Rediff even if seem notable on first glance, fail NSONGS as "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability"; which is what is happening here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:51, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Khamoshiyan: While there are some good sources and around 15 million hits on YouTube, everything can be covered in the main article. Esquivalience t 00:08, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Some sources about the song? Where are they? And just the way our page hits don't count, YouTube's hits shouldn't count either; especially with click fraud. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:54, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Dharmadhyaksha makes compelling arguments regarding the one claim to fame, the charting. Do not believe that passes the criteria for WP:NSONG. Onel5969 TT me 13:33, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Not being very knowledgeable about the Indian music scene, can someone tell me whether the Radio Mirchi list qualifies under WP:CHART? I don't see any Indian charts listed on that page, and when I search Indian music charts on Google the Radio Mirchi list is one of the first results. If the chart is calculated, say, mathematically, then I think this song probably qualifies under WP:NSONG, and there shouldn't be any independence concerns. mikeman67 (talk) 14:36, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Radio Mirchi's website doesn't state anything about how their charts are prepared. With no clarity or transparency we can not consider it to be notable enough to match WP:CHART. Although if this can be established then we can reconsider. But recently on one occasion at the AFD of "Ainvayi Ainvayi" I discovered that Radio mirchi was media partner of the film and had launched various promotional schemes, mainly one scheme where your marriage would be sponsored by the group. The article then also claimed that the song from this film was in top 20 for 38 weeks!! Well, that's promotional much. I haven't hunted down who the media partners of this film are. One would have to see various promo videos on youtube or the film itself to see credit list. So its going to be tough to prove notability of this particular chart. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:13, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PROD (mine) removed, without comment, by an SPA who has appeared since the original author was recently blocked for promotional edits related to the tent company. PROD rationale was "Promotional biography by somebody connected to the subject, if not the subject himself. The awards are not convincing. Some of the references are not convincing (e.g. YouTube). Much here is unconvincing. There may be a very little genuine notability but it does not seem to justify an article far less a hagiography." I have nothing much to add to that except to note that Chamber of Commerce is a type of organisation, not a single monolithic organisation, an unusual misconception that both the original author and the new SPA mysteriously seem to share. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I've been watching this page since shortly after it was created, and while I tried to keep the worst of the promotional spam to a minimum it seems to have slipped off my radar. Hardly any of the references actually talk about Mace himself, and the ones that do sound like press releases dripping with praise. Gala Tent may be worth having an article about, but not Mace.

Seems like a hoax to me, as I found no sources online (other than a Facebook post) that refer to this film. Also, the article states that the film has premiered on October 29, 2015, a date yet to happen. Even if it's not a hoax, it clearly fails WP:MOVIE, specifically WP:NFF.

it is not a hoax. please see the corrected "premiers" tense. also, there are numerous youtube videos of the film's audience reaction to the film-feature, VIRUS, and an Official Trailer. the Theater website will also be updating their calendar soon to display VIRUS.

If the user (talk) actually investigated the film and its events then they would understand that there is much more than a singular facebook post, but an RSVP event where more than 100 attendees are already reserved, and an entire production company that is legitimately established and promotes the film regularly until its release on October 29th. DO NOT REMOVE----Virtual assassin (Virtual assassin) 22:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Virtual assassin: Okay, so the film exists. But does it meet our inclusion criteria?


yes it does meet the criteria. it will be featured in the next slamdance film festival that has yet to occur, as well as myself being a graduating student with a BA from California State Univerysity of Long Beach. not to mention, external references have been added to the page, and artwork will also be included once i have permission. Virtual assassin (talk) 00:05, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the budget is irrelevant for a digital film in 2015. if real specs were to be taken into consideration, $15,000 have been used on camera equipment, renting locations and vehicles. Please see the official trailer in the external links section before you pass judgement without doing proper research, and understand that this is a legitimate film that will have a social and cultural impact on the long beach film scene. Also because the film is so new, the article will become extremely relevant upon the first public screening of the film in under a month's time. please don't harass this page.  :@Cullen328: ----Virtual assassin (talk) 02:41, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Virtual assassin, if you think Wikipedia ought to have an article about every film ever made, then you have a deep misunderstanding about our notability guidelines. This is an encyclopedia, not a film promotion website. We accept articles only about topics which have received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. For films, the most common.indicator is that the film has been reviewed by several professional film.critics, published in reliable sources. The "official trailer" is not an independent source, and therefore has no bearing on this debate. We need to evaluate sources that have nothing whatsoever to do with the filmmakers. When you say the film "will have a social and cultural impact", that is a prediction about the future which may or may not come true. We need proof of such things, and report them and take them into consideration only after they have happened. By the way, if you have a conflict of interest as someone involved with the film production, then you are obligated to disclose it, and to refrain from directly editing the article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Cullen328: are you getting paid to bully independent films because they do not meet the likes of Michael Bay's multi-hundred-million dollar budget and sales? or are you doing this on your own accord? i suggest you get outside and take a deep breath, and talk to a living person. there's no need for you to passive-aggressively attack a wiki article that is unimportant to you, and clearly are uneducated about the critical impact of art and its archiving significance. Virtual assassin (talk) 03:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Many editors would respond with anger to your unwarranted personal attack, Virtual assassin. I will respond with the facts instead. No, I am not paid for any of my edits and I am not bullying. I have participated in thousands of Articles for Deletion debates on a very wide range of topics, as a volunteer. My only goal here is clear: To maintain the quality of the encyclopedia. I have helped save many articles on notable topics, and have expanded and referenced many articles. They are all listed on my user page. Hint for you: Impugning the motives of a highly experienced editor is not a good strategy for keeping an article. Bringing forward reliable, independent sources discussing the topic is the only thing to do. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:56, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While not a hoax, this does appear to be a non-notable independent film. Per WP:NFILM all films must be the focus of independent and reliable sources such as newspaper articles or reviews in places like Twitch Film or We Got This Covered. Also, just appearing at a film festival is not something that would show notability. It's generally accepted that a film will premiere somewhere and while showing at a festival will make it more likely that there will be coverage, it is not a guarantee regardless of the film festival's notability. Also, notability is not automatically inherited by the film festival itself being notable. (WP:NOTINHERITED) When the film screens and if it receives enough coverage to pass notability guidelines this could be created, but not before then. I suppose that a copy of this could be sent to AfC, but this would need to be entirely re-written to remove the promotional tones, unsourced claims, and general casual tone of the article. In other words, there's really nothing to salvage here and this would probably benefit more from having a clean start once the film releases and gains the required coverage. On a side note, the critical reception section is supposed to be used for critics' reviews of the film - not an unsourced Q&A about the reasons for creating the film.

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

Delete for lack of significant coverage. The article only cites related sources (the firm's own web site and production company) or film directories like IMDB. I was unable to find any review of the film. It does not appear to have received any awards. Difficult searching given the title, but even focusing on the director did not yield a review. I did find it in directory listings, listed in the director's biography, and offered for sale. At the Institute of Contemporary Arts directory I discovered that it had been shown at the 8th BFM International Film Fest. There was a brief one sentence note in May 2006 here about its future production. That's it, basically no coverage. Fails the general notability guidelines, fails WP:NFILM. Note: The article was created in June 2006‎ by editor User:Halaqah, same name as the production company. --Bejnar (talk) 22:05, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or redirect to Owen 'Alik Shahadah, if the director's article survives AfD - although that appears to be unlikely. Like Bejnar, I couldn't find anything to show that this film was ultimately notable enough for its own article. It's incredibly difficult for short films, let alone short indie films, to gain enough coverage and this film appears to be no exception. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP, shading toward prosified résumé, of a writer and artist with no really strong claim to passing WP:CREATIVE. In addition, this is badly sourced: of the eight "references" here, seven of them directly credit the article topic as the author of the reference, making them primary sources which cannot demonstrate her notability — and the only one she didn't write herself is an interview with her on an arts organization's blog, which is still not a reliable source. A person does not get an automatic notability freebie on Wikipedia just because she exists — an article is earned by demonstrating that they have been the subject of reliable source coverage which properly verifies that they pass a specific inclusion criterion.

WP:BLP of a writer, which makes no real claim to passing WP:AUTHOR, and which is sourced exclusively to a single commercial sales profile for one of his books on an online bookstore. A writer does not get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because he exists, nor does an online bookstore count as reliable source referencing — but a Google News search didn't turn up any serious indication of improved sourceability, resulting in just a small handful of glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things.

  • Weak delete I have to say, this author is as much of a mystery as the plots of his books. His first book was expected to be a big success (I can't tell if it really was), but his others seem to have gotten almost no attention. I added the review of that first book from the NYTimes, and for a short while after that he wrote a couple of book reviews for that newspaper (e.g. [16]), but that seems to be it. He has a web site, but the bio there is limited. I don't find bios anywhere else. His brother, Christopher Hyde, also wrote thrillers, but I don't find much about him either. He's got two solid reliable sources, the NYT review and the article about him in the Montreal Gazette. But shortly thereafter, the trail goes cold. LaMona (talk) 20:04, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Completing nomination for an IP editor, whose rationale (from Talk:Gleemax) is included verbatim below. The first AFD was closed in June 2007 as a redirect to Unhinged, though that article does not mention this subject at all at present. The redirect was undone three weeks later, as a result of discussion at Talk:Unhinged (Magic: The Gathering)#Gleemax. So we know that this existed, which is good as far as it goes, but I'm not seeing any sort of reliable sourcing that discusses its impact or notability. I usually don't opine when I complete someone else's nomination, but this has sat for a good long while with little prospect of improvement. With no good options for a redirect or a merge, I think deletion is our best option at this point. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 18:43, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are virtually no sources supporting this article. There is no notability. Even more damaging is the fact that someone took the link to the ofsted report on Jamiyah Islamiyyah and posted it here as a source. Proposing deletion and Salting FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 04:51, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The full name of the school seems to be something like Al Jamiatul Islamiyah Darul Uloom - which (allowing for the usual problems in transcribing from Arabic or Urdu into English) rather suggests that the Ofsted report referenced in the article has simply used a different part of the full name than was used by the article's creator. Assuming this to be the case and as we are dealing with a secondary school, the article looks as if it should be a fairly easy keep under WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES - even though it looks promotional enough that substantial trimming would be advisable. However, most of the references I have seen seem to be either routine or passing mentions and there seem to be several other schools with distinctly similar names in England (including one in Bury, only about five miles away) - so far as I am concerned, there is enough room for confusion that I would prefer others to check before coming to a firm conclusion.

*Comment. There is indeed a lot of confusion here. Ofsted 26-27 January 2010 and SC 009423 are not relevant to the Wikipedia article's details although the postal address is given as the same. Not only is the latest Ofsted report not 'Outstanding', it is generally only 'Satisfactory' with some items judged as 'Inadequate'. I am tempted to suggest that this article is possibly a hoax.

  • Comment According to the planning section at bolton.gov.uk, specifically here, "AL JAMIATUL ISLAMIYAH DARUL ULOOM" was at 296 Willows Lane, Bolton, BL3 4BT at the end of 2013. It was housed in a former convent. There is a Charity Commission report of 2014 for "Al-Jamiatul Islamiyah Darul Uloom Lancashire U.K." based at Willow Lane, Deane, Bolton, BL3 4HF. That report lists a website at www.jamiah-al-islamiyyah.org.uk which appears to be down ATM and not at Wayback. There was an Ofsted report in 2004 about "Al Jamiatul Islamiya Darul Uloom" at Hospital Road, Bromley Cross, Bolton, BL7 9PY which fits the information in the article.

  • Move I think the name on the OFSTED report should be used: 'Al Jamiah Al Islamiyyah' [17]. Darul uloom seems to be a generic expression which literally means "house of knowledge". Derek Andrews (talk) 19:49, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These links suggest it is at least a genuine estblishment and support the name suggested above [18][19][20] and this one provides more info though probably primary sourced [21] and has the subtitle 'INSTITUTE OF ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATION'. Derek Andrews (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Some care needs to be taken in making a move though as the name I suggested above may also be somewhat generic as there is Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah Patiya and Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah Obaidia Nanupur.

Article creator has affiliation with company of Wiki article, and article seems advertising focused. Icematikx (talk) 15:25, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Hi, I'm the article creator. Here are some points I'd like to highlight. Happy to discuss further.

  • In light of this AFD submission, the article has been edited and tightened up as of 1 Oct 2015. A full list of references has been reinstated. Language has also been edited to be more objective. References provided in the article are purely editorial in nature from reputable media organizations.
  • As the article creator of the page, I have complied with Wikipedia's paid contribution disclosure guidelines. Disclosures have been made on my talk page and edit summaries.
  • Facts provided in the article reflect on the service provided by the company. It intends to provide an objective view of the nature of business. The company is also part of a public listed entity (NASDAQ:PCLN).
  • The article talks about a service used by tens of thousands of people from around the world every day. The service is a household name in Southeast Asia and warrants an encyclopaedic entry.
  • The original article was subject to ongoing disruptive edits by user boonchong_chua, whose history of Wikipedia contributions have focused solely on this article. Edits were inappropriate for an encyclopaedia and were in violation of several policies such as no research and vandalism.
  • This AFD submission also appears to have been made by a user that appears to be suspiciously new. Edit history of multiple AFD submissions suggests motive.

  • Boonchong_chua is believed to be a user of the service who has had multiple encounters with customer service. Asheshong (talk) 03:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as I found nothing better than some Books, browser and Highbeam links. SwisterTwister talk 06:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Don't think this warrants a Delete call as the reasons provided by SwisterTwister are not aligned with the reasons for deletion according to Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Please feel free to provide valid reasons or discuss the points stated above. Asheshong (talk) 03:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The secondary sources provided appear to be reliable and independent enough to satisfy the criteria at WP:NCOMPANY. It's currently neutrally worded enough, as well. I would be wary of possible WP:COI edits by boonchong_chua, but that shouldn't reflect on the article itself. clpo13(talk) 06:24, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Agoda is a major travel brand and a household name in most of South East Asia. Notable for being part of the global Priceline Group, whose companies include North American and European brands Priceline.com, Kayak.com and Booking.com. The sources cited are independent and include top tier news organizations in North America, Europe and Asia. The article will be of interest to observers of multi-national businesses operating in Asia. It seems a primary reason the article is considered for deletion is due to the ongoing disruptive edits of user Boonchong_chua. This user has consistently reverted other user contributions with little or no clear explanation, been warned against edit warring and dispruptive editing on numerous occasions, and is using the article as a soapbox to promote opinions as facts.

Promotional article for a non-notable telecoms product and the small company that makes it. The article was created July 2010 by Duartebruno (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), an employee of the company. WP:PROD deleted in July 2011 ("advert written by company employee with multiple issues"). Created again by Sinequidvis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and again reads like a brochure. There is no substantial contribution by others, and neither editor has contributed to Wikipedia other than to promote this subject. The few references are dismal - one person from the company sitting on a Java Community Process committee isn't evidence that the company is notable. The other references are dead links to analyst reports. So nothing in the article can be verified independently, and there is no deep, independent coverage in reliable sources. The company fails WP:CORP and both it and the company fail WP:GNG. It's been tagged for ref improvement since October 2011 with no sign of improvement.

  • Keep - I think it's a borderline WP:GNG keep, but appears to definitely meet WP:BASIC, since while there references which are just passing mentions, there are quite a few of those: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". Onel5969 TT me 13:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move - based on the references above (though not the one about dancing!) I think the article could be kept, but it is just one of two organizations currently authorised to adminster the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program [24], which is subject to legal challenge,[25] so maybe a merge/move/redirect might be a more appropriate solution.

This doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Half the sources are about the problem that this group is trying to address. The other half are from a single publication, including some written by the founders of the group. (The BBC ref, like the first half of sources, doesn't mention the group by name.) I was unable to find anything better, and I can't think of a good target for a merge. I therefore believe that this group does not qualify for a separate, stand-alone article about itself, on the grounds that there aren't multiple sources that are both secondary and independent of the founders. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Not entirely sure how to reply but the game is actually quite important. Czar here has been culling pages and replacing them with links to the creator or manufacturer of the subject. Orb-3D while lacking information does contain some information. I think using a search engine would be more productive than vandalising the pages. The "what links here" tool is very important.

  • Delete In the reference, the original title is "Toshi, Sharib and Swaroop Khan perform at Rajasthan Day celebrations in Jaipur" not "Toshi, Sharib, Nishit Ashokkumar Mehta And Swaroop Khan perform at Rajasthan Day celebrations in Jaipur". The page creator created an auto-biography about himself and created the fake reference name by adding himself, as there is no mention of him in the source.

This video game character lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) The current article is an amalgamation of every time she was ever mentioned in a listicle, but none sources have gone further than superficial comments about her dress (which would fit fine in the series or individual game articles, if they are even necessary to mention anywhere). She has only passing mentions and no in-depth coverage in a video game reliable sources custom Google search outside of listicles and reviews of the games in which she appears. A redirect to Virtua_Fighter#Characters could be sufficient. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please {{ping}} me. czar 13:01, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This video game character has a plenty of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Since 1993. And even the claim of it being "every time she was ever mentioned in a listicle" is false, which I can eaily prove by just adding more. In fact I can just give here's some incomplete and sample more print media sources in just English magazines that I own: EGM 155; Arcade 3; GameStar 1; PSM 4; GamePro 79, 88; Mean Machines Sega 48; Official Sega Saturn Magazine 12, 13, 14, 16, 18; 24; CVG 170; EGM2 18; Dreamcast USA 1, and lots more about various aspects of the character and the article. I've got it written down because I've been preparing to work on Virtua Fighter articles before the deletionist Czar started redirecting them (even the list of characters!) without any discussion. In all, another completely frivolous nomination based on false premises. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 17:27, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please scan those pages so we can see the articles? czar 18:52, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was going to ask about this as well. Its hard to make a call on whether or not there is significant coverage without any access to the source's content. Its not a requirement per se, but it would make it easier to support your rationale. I don't meant to doubt you, AggressiveNavel, but the article's current status looks much like how Czar describes it. Nothing but fictional, in-universe information and a reception section that merely seems to document every time a journalist has made a passing mention about her being called her sexy or a good fighter... Sergecross73 msg me 18:56, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And what else can one possibly except from a coverage of a fighting game female character, especially a white one (which means an exotic minority character in Japan but who cares), except on how good is she in being female and/or fighting, besides sheer popularity? And in this case, the first 3D-polygonal one but her early 1990s polygoness is discussed already. How about Chun-Li, will we remove Chun-Li? Why not? Why yes? I know you'll disagree on that, but will anyone remain but Chun-Li? Ryu, let's talk Ryu then, what really is he good for? (And dear goodness, "Evil Ryu was noted to be a trope of protagonist gaming characters who reveal an evil alter-ego" - Tropes and characters are different things!) Obviously deletionism is the way, so Ryu's got to go. But OK let's see what can we get else for Sarah let me think, something popular today, like...feminist criticism? Tropes vs Women video on "fighting fucktoys" might be some 3 years late so far, but here's the original feminist criticism of video games, an apparently very influential book from the end of last century, and look who's on the very cover: http://www.amazon.com/From-Barbie-Mortal-Kombat-Computer/dp/0262531682 No, of course she's not from Mortal Kombat (let's not forget to redirect Mortal Kombat characters) but it's a silly book. Oh did I mention even the very list of Virtua Fighters characters was just redirected without any discussion? How is any of this, and all of this, improving Wikipedia in any way? It's not isolated. I'll give you some scans tommorow. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 20:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've yet to see anyone actually explicate what out-of-universe coverage makes this character any more independently notable than the other characters she's listed beside. There's that first pin-up spread scan with a paragraph of commentary and the rest are passing mentions from articles about the game, not the character. If this is weight for anything, it's for a section or page dedicated to Virtua Fighter characters, not its own page. czar 23:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    As long as she's discussed in-depth, does it really matter if it's out-of-universe coverage? It seems a bit ridiculous to me that her own detailed article must be redirected and crammed into the page for Virtua Fighter characters, all because her coverage is not out-of-universe. WP:GNG trumps WP:INUNIVERSE anyday, which makes no mention of notability anyway. Kokoro20 (talk) 01:22, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I do find it particularly noteworthy that she seemed to have whole article's dedicated to her in some of those scans. That is definitely more attention than most individual characters seem to get from fighting games... Sergecross73 msg me 16:43, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I can only see one scan (the first page, the pin-up article) that can be construed as being a whole article dedicated to her, and it would only amount to a few sentences, at most, in the WP article. (And we have no info on whether it follows/succeeds similar articles for other fighters.) The rest are covered in context of the series, usually a single sentence mention, if you'll take a closer look. My point here isn't to wipe Bryant from the encyclopedia, but to say that she should be covered with due weight. She is not known as a standalone figure but as one of the Virtua Fighter characters and should be covered alongside them (whether in a section or its own list). If she were the subject of dedicated, in-depth coverage, there would be no dispute worth having. czar 18:42, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to disagree with the notion that she's "just another Virtua Fighter character" (someone like Lion Rafale would be more fitting for that statement). Along with Akira Yuki, she's one of the first characters people think of when they think Virtua Fighter. In fact, she's even appeared as a guest character outside the VF series before. But as long as she gets enough coverage, it shouldn't really matter how well-known she is outside of VF. Kokoro20 (talk) 00:35, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect for Czar, and how well-known she is outside of VF does matter, from WP:VG/GL - "If the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it is unsuitable. Always remember the bigger picture: video game articles should be readable and interesting to non-gamers." Rainbow unicorn (talk) 03:25, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That paragraph you've referenced makes no mention of notability, just not to overly detail the article, and before that, it also says simply "A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure". Kokoro20 (talk) 03:59, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
From your last two responses, it seemed relevant to add and I don't believe that you or others have adequately addressed Czar's concerns.
Can you explain how the scans of parts of magazine articles provided by AggressiveNavel are significant, reliable, independent coverage? [27] [28] part of larger character list, see bottom right corner, [29] don't see her on this game review, [30] don't see her, [31] [32] interviews with game creator, [33] review of gameplay, other characters are present, [34] with other videogame merchandise, [35] don't see her, [36] "showcase" with other characters, [37] "showcase" continued, don't see her here, [38] other characters on the page, [39] interview continued.
"she seemed to have whole article's dedicated to her in some of those scans", doesn't look like it to me. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 05:57, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)The WP:VG/GL quote you used has been taken out of context and used improperly. If one was to read the entire paragraph of the guideline you linked it would become obvious that the sentence you quoted is about avoiding WP:GAMECRUFT and trivia, and completely irrelevant to notability.
In your second point, you repeatedly claim that the scans don't constitute sigcov as "other characters are present", but that's untrue. WP:GNG clearly states, and I quote, "Significant coverage [...] need not be the main topic of the source material"; thus the presence of other characters is also irrelevant. Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 06:23, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, some of these images are kind of hard to see. But in any case, it doesn't matter that she's not the only character these articles discuss, because under WP:GNG, it clearly says "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Kokoro20 (talk) 06:13, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The presence of her and other characters minor <Oxford dictionary definition(what Google currently displays when you search for "word definition"): lesser in importance, seriousness, or significance> inclusion in articles that are probably game reviews, which will likely go over other aspects of the game(each scan is not a whole article), is relevant to the value of the source no matter what you say. What makes this character stand out from the other characters in the same review, other characters from other articles of the same magazine from which the source came, and the thousands of other characters being included in game reviews that are published all the time? Let's see what others think.
Just a reminder that I couldn't see this character anywhere in some of the scans and that the interviews are not independent coverage. One of the two ask a creator if Sarah is still his favorite character and that's it. For the first two scans I say it's part of a list, or something larger since it's titled "Virtually Perfect", bottom right corner says "Virtual Fox" and it begins with "Why are all our Virtual Foxes so violent?". "Virtually Perfect" appears to be a reoccurring feature in the short-lived Arcade magazine [40] , doesn't seem like a widely known or notable accomplishment. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 19:51, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"The presence of her and other characters [...] is relevant to the value of the source no matter what you say" ....no it isn't, and it's not what "[we] say", its what Wikipedia policy says (and quite explicitly too). Point me to the policy which claims on how the presence of other characters diminishes a source's value and then I'll believe you.
The fact that Sarah Bryant doesn't appear in some scans is a non-issue as you could simply just use the ones where she does appear. Keep in mind that plenty of sources exist in the article already and it really becomes quite incredulous how a subject can have so much independent coverage and still somehow not meet sigcov. (I don't understand your argument on how Sarah needs to "stand out" from other characters so I can't respond to that.) Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 05:52, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it seems to me that policies are just being made up here, and what is being said is a contradiction to what GNG says about how coverage doesn't need to necessarily be independent. As for Sarah "standing out", it could be argued that she indeed does "stand out" when she gets more coverage, compared to other Virtua Fighter characters. Kokoro20 (talk) 06:26, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Where does it specifically say that it isn't relevant? See where we could go with that? Simply saying that it isn't doesn't convince me of anything. What I think it does do is make it less significant, explain to me how it doesn't if you disagree.
That was just general reminder, incase other users comment here, so they don't have to look through it all. There's already some agreement that the sources currently in the article are not good (Czar's nom, Sergecross73's first comment, and me]. And it doesn't matter how many sources exist for a subject if they're not good. Each scan is not a separate article, probably part of a larger game review, and other character are included, her parts in them aren't that big if you look at it this way(to me at least).
WP:GNG clearly says that: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." I'm assuming you ment to say that for her one question in an interview, insignificant anyways. Remember, each scan contains other characters so it's not really more coverage compared to others and there's some agreement that the sources currently in the article re not good. The source you recently added is a mention [41]. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 11:01, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not entirely, as Sergecross ultimately went with a keep vote. And you're still taking this out of context. When I said "independent", I didn't mean sources that are affiliated with the subject, like their official website or something (which is what that part of GNG is referring to), I was referring to how whole articles dedicated to her are not required. GNG also says ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material". The sources brought up here and in the article fits the bolded criteria.
When I gave my argument about her "standing out", I meant she gets more coverage in sources in general, compared to other Virtua Fighter characters
The source I've added to the article wasn't necessarily to try and establish notability, but to just to add an opinion of Sarah Bryant as a guest character outside of Virtua Fighter. Kokoro20 (talk) 14:02, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sergecross's earlier comment is completely valid(see what he said in his keep), until he/she says it's not, AfD is not a vote, there are no sides to this, we can have a mix of agreements and disagreements. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 01:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He just said that the article is not currently in a good state, which has no bearing in notability. While the consensus at AFDs are not determined solely by the number of votes, "keep" does overall have 3 more votes, all of which are supported by policy-based arguments. Kokoro20 (talk) 01:50, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, they're patently not policy-backed arguments—they're me-too single-sentence pile-ons that say the refbombed list of sources looks good, yet no one has addressed any of the source issues that Rainbow unicorn and I raised. This isn't about whether there is sourcing to say things about the fictional character—obviously there is—but WP doesn't give subjects their own page for that. This is about significance. The general notability guideline is about whether something is a topic in itself. Everything that needs to be said about this character can be said in a small section of a list. "elected her as having one of best breasts in video games"? "the third top 'girl on the Dreamcast' in 2000"? These superlatives are junk and no serious AfD would consider them substantial enough to include in an article, nevertheless be the basis for a dedicated article. The scans are the same story. czar 03:15, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar and Rainbow unicorn: "Patently not policy-backed arguments"? I beg to differ. Over the course of discussion we've outlined repeatedly how the coverage here meets the GNG, how it is significant coverage, and why Sarah Bryant deserves an article. Meanwhile, the arguments put forward for deleting the article are either based upon misinterpretations of policy, or are flat out wrong, or are based on subjective opinion. But since you guys still claim that we "haven't addressed your points", despite the fact that I have, repeatedly, I'll put it to you this time in dot point form, because apparently prose is too hard to understand.
  • Incorrect argument for deletion: "I've yet to see anyone actually explicate what out-of-universe coverage makes this character any more independently notable than the other characters she's listed beside." This is immaterial; the only reason Sarah Bryant has an article and the other characters do not is that someone had actually bothered to make one for her. Of course, if this bothers you then you could always pitch in, help out and create articles for other characters instead of engaging in deletionism at AfDs. Additionally, this argument for deletion is backed up by no Wikipedia policy - none of the guidelines on notability mentions anything about coverage having to be "out of universe" or that the character has to be "more independently notable than other characters". If you really think that this is backed up by policy, then please supply the link to said policy!
  • Incorrect argument for deletion: "how well-known she is outside of VF does matter, from WP:VG/GL - "If the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it is unsuitable. Always remember the bigger picture: video game articles should be readable and interesting to non-gamers." I've already said it once and I'll say it again: this quote has been taken out of context. Read the entire paragraph over at VG/GL which this quote fits into and you'll see that it is explicitly about gamecruft and completely irrelevant to notability.
  • Incorrect argument for deletion: the references supplied are not usable as Sarah Bryant is listed with other characters, or in part of a game review. Again, this is backed up by absolutely no Wikipedia policy. Indeed, WP:GNG explicitly claims otherwise with the quote "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material". If you still disagree then cite a policy that backs up your views, and don't forget to link to it.
  • Incorrect argument for deletion: The sources present in the article are "not good" (to quote Rainbow unicorn) or "junk" (to quote Czar). Ok, I get that you don't personally like the sources, but no policy whatsoever has been supplied on why they cannot be used. They are all from reliable sources and I am absolutely fine with the sources present in the article.

Look, if you're not going to respond to our breakdown of the sources, which is the only aspect worth discussing at this point IMO, then there's nothing to discuss. I think the above (patronizing) rant is unwarranted—you've already established that you read the GNG to be really permissive. If you have nothing new to add, all the above does is make third parties less likely to address the actual source concerns raised. czar 04:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but... are you serious? As a person with some experience debating IRL all that I can say is that you've pretty much done a stock standard dismissal and forced change of topic, which is 1) rude and 2) very ineffective. Please explain how I didn't respond to your "breakdown of the sources", but, more importantly please explain how you're entitled to expect us to respond to every one of your arguments (which we've tried our hardest to do, backed up by policies and all) when it's obvious that, with a comment like that, you don't give a trifle about ours? Despite being asked multiple times to provide a policy to support your arguments on how 1) Sarah Bryant being listed with other characters or in a game review makes the source worth less, or 2) why "out of universe coverage" is necessary, or even explained how the sources in the article are "crap"? You believe my "rant" to be "patronizing" (when it's actually an explanation on how I responded to your concerns, why they aren't correct, and you specifically asked for it), but what's really "patronising" here is your outright refusal to discuss points raised by other parties or even address concerns that have been asked for repeatedly. Frankly, we're being snubbed here, and you're attitude of superiority on how your source concerns are "actual" while everything else we've asked for repeatedly is "not serious" (and "patently not policy-backed") is impudent and not appreciated.
Look, I respect you and all and what you do for the wiki, but I'm not going to leave a discussion just because you say so, as you've not-so-subtly implied. Especially when my concerns are being brushed aside while I've made effort to respond to yours, including why I believe the sourcing to be useful and appropriate, backed up by policy. Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 05:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What? There is very clearly an impasse not just about this article but in understanding of the GNG vis-à-vis fictional characters—one that has been much better addressed in a more public venue: WT:VG#Character articles. The widespread consensus there answers your two explicit questions (re: not just aggregating mentions from sources and out-of-universe context). So unless someone is going to do a source-by-source breakdown (like Rainbow and I did) explaining how the sources cover her, in specific, in any significant depth at all—that is, not throwaway lines about her skills or breasts—there's nothing to discuss here. And even still, I'm not convinced that would be productive. As for the rest, no one asked you to "leave" and I don't consider this a "debate"—I have zero interest in debating or entertaining the above personal accusations and I hope you'll respect that. czar 15:52, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that the topic could be notable, but probably not in this state. For one, the article's definition of "commercialization" is vague. Plus, it is mostly from a United States point of view, which could easily be fixed, but is still a major problem. This could be merged to the History of the Internet article, but as it stands I don't think there is enough content that could be written to warrant a separate article.

  •  Strong Keep. Incredibly, I have no idea of how the treatment of lizard bite will be treated without talking about "lizard bite" and its venon. However, lizard bite has been the subject of multiple independent reliable sources and therefore meet our primary inclusion criteria. Emphatically, it passes WP:GNG. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 01:09, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There seems no reason at all to treat lizard bites as distinct from other bites. The ICD codes given don't - they lump lizards in with other herps, the snakes. If this is an article, it should be merged into snakebite. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Although there's nothing mentioned as such there is a section at Lizard#Relationship with humans which mentions the bite being painful so there's not really any need for this article. –Davey2010Talk 01:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment:. There tend to be big ecological differences between snakes and lizards. Snakebite and Lizard bite are not the same. Both may produce similar venon but the source of the venoms are not the same. I agreed that Lizard venom has much in common with snake venom, and that the venom production apparatus in lizards and snakes are related, but has developed in different directions. Gila and beaded lizards (the poisonous lizards) mainly use venom to defend themselves, while snakes use their venom to attack prey. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 02:10, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lizards bite plenty of other creatures besides humans; typically, they bite their prey. This should not be seen as a purely medical topic. Andrew D. (talk) 12:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The bite of Varanoidea such as the komodo dragon, is quite unlike that of a typical venomous snake. They have teeth and may kill by trauma or by infecting with toxic bacteria. I recall seeing an interesting documentary on the subject and have no trouble finding detailed coverage in sources such as this. The current draft is obviously a weak stub but it is our policy to improve these rather than deleting them. Andrew D. (talk) 12:42, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
AIUI, that type of bite is specific to the Komodo dragon (as the only one of comparable size, and yet relatively small compared to the large prey it will take). It's certainly a distinct form of attack ("injure and wait"), but even that would be better in the species article, not in a vague article on "lizard bite". Lizard bite is both too broad, and insufficiently distinct. Non-toxic and non-venomous bites from lizards are no different than those of non-venomous snakes. Gila monster bites are specific to the heloderms, and don't have a real envenomation mechanism. The Komodo dragon is an outlier amongst other lizards. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:31, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As noted by Andy Dingley, the ICD codes provided are not unique to injuries caused by lizards (they are primarily snakebite codes). I particularly object to keeping the article on the grounds of the komodo dragon's purported "injure and wait" disease-inflicting bite, because current scholarship has roundly rejected the idea that komodo dragons are especial disease vectors in this manner (earlier evidence of pathogen load in their saliva was the result of feeding on non-native water buffalo in feces-fouled water). Just because an animal can bite does not mean a specific animal bite article is warranted. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:08, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Needs TNT, but I established in the last AfD how these characters are individually the subjects of significant coverage. Most of the characters do not warrant their own articles, but there is plenty of sourcing available (here are the links I pulled for characters at random last time: Shyvana [42][43] Draven [44][45][46][47][48] Syndra [49][50][51][52][53][54]). There's easily enough to write at least a paragraph on each character's noteworthy features, which would necessitate an article separate from the main one. But, yes, as it is, the article doesn't justify the spinout from the main article, though I believe I've demonstrated that there is sufficient sourcing to justify a standalone list. czar 15:10, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete For others. I'd say that the above sources are not signifiant coverage. All of those websites are dedicated to videogame related stuff, them putting out a piece on a character does not make it nor any combination of said characters notable. GameZone was used for 7 of the 13 sources(more than half), and it's article has been tagged for notability for over almost a year. And GameZone has been around for over 21 years, longer than YouTube and reddit combined, not a good sign. Generally if what's writing about a subject isn't wiki-notable, then the subject isn't either. I suppose something like this would need coverage in national news sources, not just videogame news sites. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 04:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All of those sites, including GameZone, were vetted as reliable at WP:VG/RS, which is to say that they aren't random blogs. (Being around 21 years would usually be a marker of quality too, no?) It's very common to make lists of things that may not be individually notable but are discussed both as a set and have individual coverage as well. Also I agree that the article is in awful condition—the point is that the topic itself has enough coverage and just needs to be blown up and started again. All things considered, I'm rather amazed at the amount of deletes on this page considering all of the other character articles that are kept with nothing near the degree of potential sourcing this topic has. So, yes, other stuff exists, but please do see the other fictional character articles, especially if you think this type of article requires national sources as a baseline. czar 04:25, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I never said they weren't reliable, I said they weren't significant. It's averaging maybe, 15 sentences per source? And the sources for individual characters pretty much have the same information. Maybe the thing about GameZone isn't a bad thing, it has been around along time, but so has my local newspaper. It's just that if it might not be wiki-notable and there's other videogame sites that have been around a shorter time, yet they are more well-known and/or respected, maybe it isn't the best source. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 05:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The vetted sites have been used at AfD long enough that I don't see your concern. Yes, they are specialty outlets, but they are assumed to be of national than of "local" interest. If you have an issue with a specific one of those links, feel free to raise it, but they should be in-depth enough to constitute significant coverage (not passing mentions). And they were just a random sample... try any one of the other characters in a video game reliable sources custom Google search and see what you get. czar 15:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For Shyvana: [1] - 10 sentences total discounting last section to get 8, [2] - 7 sentences total. For Draven: [3] - 16, discount first two and last two sections to get 9, [4] - "art trailer" video, basically the character being drawn, [5] - 31 sentences, take out first three sections, last section, and "What's the ult going to be like on Draven?", "Another overpowered, brute, executioner. Lovely.", "While Riot is likely to wait until E3 next week to officially unveil Draven's abilities, it seems one site got hold of his abilities early. These haven't been confirmed.", to get 18, most of the other content is WP:GAMEGUIDE info on character moves(abilities), so we're left with a few sentences describing the character, [6] - 16 sentences, could further reduce this and is way too specific, it's about the "skins" of the characters, [7] - 7 sentences, could further reduce this, and it's even more specific, about a "skin" giveaway.

Showing the insignificance of the sources for two of the three characters you gave should be enough. I found that they are, pretty short and can be assumed insignificant, are too specific, have similar information as others, and can you can further reduce them. I shouldn't have to do this for each character since I will likely get similar results. They are pretty much standard "video game news", not even of interest to most gamers, just those who play League of Legends, so I would consider it "local" in the video game world. I don't understand how something like "localised Italian launch nears, players to get free Gladiator Draven skin" [7] can be assumed to be of national interest. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 18:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

... but having multiple paragraphs of dedicated coverage across multiple sources is itself the marker of significant coverage for the general notability guideline, whether it's seven or 18 total sentences apiece. That is plenty to write a detailed section on each character, replete with out-of-universe context and all. Nothing else to add without going back and forth. These characters are sourced way better than most of the fictional characters I send to AfD. Please do keep an eye on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Fictional elements in the future. czar 20:55, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't they can be considered multiple paragraphs of coverage if they have an average of less than 10 sentences each when you take out the useless parts and each source says pretty much the same things about the character, minus [4], [6], [7] which are off topic and shouldn't be considered. Just because we can (barely) write a paragraph on something doesn't mean we should.
Also still is WP:GAMEGUIDE "avoid lists of gameplay weapons, items, or concepts, unless these are notable in their own right". A "League of Legends champion" can be considered a concept. Honestly, when I first saw the title I though it would be about real world champions, like the winners of major tournaments.
From WP:VG/GL: "A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure: If the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it is unsuitable. Always remember the bigger picture: video game articles should be readable and interesting to non-gamers." Rainbow unicorn (talk) 23:43, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's not much that I can add to this assessment; the quoted coverage is extremely poor and not sufficient to merit the retention of this list.  — Scott talk 09:53, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure there can be any serious argument about the fictional status of these video game characters (seriously!?), but nobody's disputing that League of Legends meets WP:GNG beyond the shadow of a doubt. The characters (champions), by themselves and on a standalone basis, might not.  · Salvidrim! ·  00:04, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is technically a List page it made no sense to group the champions based on their origin since that is not a valid enough classification for these champions in a simple list page in anyones opinions. The simple table should be made collapsible and put on the main page or left as is for the main viewing source of the article (because i made it lol) U Hwotm8 (talk) 10:07, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to League of Legends. This is the kind of spin-off article that makes no actual sense to have separately from the game's article.

DO NOT DELETE! This page is real wisdom and the rules that make it a candidate for deletion are the rules that are preventing indigenous wisdom from having any credibility in the western world. There are third parties that have published material on this. It is a gem of an entry, done by an actual Hawaiian Kahuna, the knowledge is precious and should not be deleted. It is well-accepted knowledge among the kahuna's of hawaii but it is an oral tradition so very little is written down. This is the beginning of the lifting of kapu, or restriction, for this sacred knowledge and the kahuna is reaching out to wikipedia to help distribute this knowledge that is real and ancient and needs a good place to live on the internet.

  • Comment - I'm struggling with this one, guys. The subject is not particularly noteworthy as a college football player (and never played in an NFL regular season game), but putting aside the usual transactional coverage of injuries and free agent signings, he has received significant coverage in the small town, local newspapers of his home region in upstate New York. To my way of thinking, the subject is one of those ex-CFB players who is primarily known for his efforts to make an NFL squad. This is a gray area for me: technically satisfying a minimum level of coverage for GNG, but with nothing substantive underneath. He was a decent CFB player, but what significant coverage there is, is about a failed effort to make an NFL team. Is that encyclopedic? Do we really want several hundred of these perma-stub article about unsuccessful NFL free agents? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:05, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the organization's web site, the single location organization hasn't been active since 2012. Their Facebook page is missing. I can find only one reliable source about the group. Based on Non-commercial organizations, it fails the two key tests:

Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:

  1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
  2. The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.

Based on these standards, I think this group and the article lack notability. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 04:40, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sinai Province is a militant organisation that is based in the Sinai Peninsula. It has been reported on by WP:RS including:
Reuters [58], AFP [59], BBC [60], The Guardian [61], The Independent [62], Al Jazeera [63], The New York Times [64]
The US State Department recently amended it's terrorist designation of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis to include the following [65]: "Also under the FTO and E.O. 13224 authorities, the designations of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (ABM) have been amended to add several aliases, including ISIL Sinai Province (ISIL SP). In November 2014, ABM pledged allegiance to ISIL, and has since used ISIL Sinai Province as its primary name. ISIL leadership accepted ABM’s pledge that same month. ISIL Sinai Province continues to attack Egyptian targets."

  • Keep - The Sinai insurgency is a separate issue from ISIS in Iraq/Syria. They have affiliated themselves to ISIS, but that doesn't make them the same group. However, this article might need to be merged to the Sinai insurgency. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I cannot find anything on him in Japanese. Part of the problem is that I'm not sure of the kanji for his name, but 新里栄作 is the most likely and I cannot find anything with that. I tried other variations with no success. So the only thing left is to see if there is anything significant in Spanish, which seems to be the language he has mostly been working in. But I can't seem to find any RS there as well, though I will defer to someone who can. Otherwise, the roles he has played ("Japanese student") aren't likely enough to clear WP:NACTOR.

This article is a textbook failure of WP:IMPORTANCE, and also has several exacerbating circumstances pointing towards deletion. Notability guidelines require evidence from reliable independent sources, and of the eleven references for this article, five are self-published videos and one does not mention the source at all (CNN). Of the remaining five sources, an article from “THE LGBT UPDATE” is non-independent and only 54 words, “Awesomely Luvvie” is a self-published blog that fails reliability guidelines, and “Mic.com” is a highly progressive and hence non-independent source. This leaves us with two sources that could plausibly qualify as reliable independent sources: MTV and Huffington Post. Both of these have noticeable political slant and both are considered to be low-quality or “clickbait” websites. As such, the subject must fail notability guidelines. Furthermore, the article appears to have been self-written in violation of WP:AUTO and undisclosed WP:CONFLICT (as evidenced by the inclusion of non public biographical details), the article reads like a resume, and the article is an orphan.

  • Keep Article could definitely be improved, but there are RS which cover her, which is somewhat interesting, as she is an internet phenomenon. Buzzfeed meninists] article chose a whole bunch of memes and one 10 minute video by Blaque, which it called a "great video" refuting the critique of feminism; The LA Times, did an article in 2014 (shows is not a fleeting phenom) talking about the importance of YouTube as a "lifeline" to the Trans community and about 1/3 of the article is devoted to Blaque.

  • Jerome Kohl, there are problems with the sources. The source BY him is not a third-party source. The Sunoloco source is just a few sentences - not a good contribution toward notability. With the dissertation (which is not generally considered a published source), since he isn't named in the title as one of the foci of the study, it isn't clear how much there might be about him in that source. The McCoy work isn't cited anywhere in the text of the article, so it isn't clear what it contributes. The awards that are mentioned (which could count toward notability) are not sourced. His list of compositions also is not sourced. (I found a source here [78], but it is so close to this article that I suspect it may have been copied from WP.) I would say that the article lacks basic wp:verifiability. Given that he is a musician, a few reviews of his work would go a long way toward bolstering this article.

Thank you for responding with your detailed criticisms of the sources. First of all, let me point out that dissertations are generally regarded as published sources ("printing" is not the same thing as "publishing"), but that is not really the question here: it is whether dissertations are WP:Reliable sources. That article states, in the section "Scholarship": "Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a PhD, and which are publicly available (most via interlibrary loan or from Proquest), can be used but care should be exercised, as they are often, in part, primary sources." This particular dissertation is not, even in part, a primary source. Consulting the source itself which, like most American dissertations, is publicly available through ProQuest, is the best way of determining what portion of it is dedicated to Mr Truelove, and the answer is, approximately one-fifth. It is not conventional to include an annotation to such a fact in a bibliography, but it could be done in this case, if it pleases you. I have read this dissertation myself; would it help if I looked for a link to it (even if it had to be a "subscription only" link to ProQuest)? Second, indeed you are correct about reviews. Two of the items you mention (McCoy and Nordin) are in fact reviews. I'm not sure where you get the idea that Ingvar Nordin's review amounts "just a few sentences". Perhaps you only looked at the introduction. Eight different CD recordings are individually reviewed (the links are in the sidebar). Purely as an example, I quote the tenth paragraph from the first of those eight reviews:
This music has all the strength and inner significance of Beethoven’s late string quartets as well as the persistence of some of the post-asylum works by Giacinto Scelsi, and the emotional web is complicated, never easily sorted out – but flowing, all the time flowing, in a relentless natural force, like the sleep-walking fulfillment of a categorical imperative.
The sound of the instruments has real body, real anatomy, almost enabling you to smell the wood lacquer, sense the surfaces of the rounded wooden vessels of resonant vibrancy.
“Allelama Chakratour” is nothing short of wondrous; a tonal materialization of the finest moments of a composer’s most honest creativity. There is love in this music, in a pure, soaring, suspended form; without any weighing attachments of human selfishness…
There are perhaps seventy-five paragraphs all told. Hardly what can be called "just a few sentences".
I shall look for a source for those awards. They cannot have fallen out of the sky.
As to the source by the subject, it cannot of course be counted as a third-party source. However, at the risk of once again quoting the guideline on reliable sources:
Primary sources are often difficult to use appropriately. While they can be both reliable and useful in certain situations, they must be used with caution in order to avoid original research. While specific facts may be taken from primary sources, secondary sources that present the same material are preferred. Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.
This source is used solely to support the circumstances of his dissertation research. Do you find a problem with the appropriateness of this use? If so, perhaps it can be addressed with an suitable edit to that sentence.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jerome Kohl, thanks for pointing out the reviews on the Sonoloco site. However, looking at the background, that is an individual's site (Ingvar Loco Nordin). Therefore, not RS. LaMona (talk) 14:16, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Meets neither WP:PROF nor WP:CREATIVE. Publishing a doctoral thesis (and a DMA is, as the article says, an advanced practice degree, normally for performance or composition, not a research degree such as a PHhD. The thesis requirement on such degrees is normally less substantial. ) There's no evidence of major performances or major recordings or major first place awards, or critical comments on the compositions, just a few local or blog reviews.

Article about a band which does not meet WP:BAND. My searches have found nothing about this band to prove notability. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 00:06, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Exactly and this has existed since July 2010 with hardly any change and giving more than enough time for improvement but there obviously isn't any and my searches found no better sourcing. Not to mention with the official website closed and the social media only active now, there's nothing to suggest better notability and improvement and frankly the Japanese Wiki article needs to be go as well (unless this can actually be improved later). SwisterTwister talk 07:36, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment One issue here is that this band technically has charted. WP:BAND says that a band "may be notable" if they have "had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Nature Living has done that twice: [79]. But the numbers are not great: 225 for one album, 257 for another. WP:BAND says nothing about what ranks are legitimate—only whether it ranked or not—and a lot of bands listed on Oricon's database don't even get that ranking. Applying WP:GNG might help. There is some coverage on the net in Japanese: [80], [81], [82], [83], including some album reviews and mentions on a major site like CDJournal [84]. But at this point I hesitate to judge whether this is sufficient. Michitaro (talk) 00:27, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for lack of notability. The issue raised by Michitaro is valid, but it is not at all clear how much weight we should give to albums that chart so low on such a large chart. I reach my position by looking at the article itself and noting that, in the lead paragraph, the only asserted claim to notability is recording two cover versions (and with no indication that these covers charted on their own). NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:35, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Given the absence of any in-depth coverage or third-party sourcing, it's hard to see how the basic notability criteria are satisfied here. --DAJF (talk) 11:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - charting only means it "may" be notable. NewYorkActuary's point is spot on. Searches show it lacks in-depth coverage. Onel5969 TT me 12:38, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
