fails to meet notability guideline WP:BIO. Not every co-founder of a company merits inclusion; not notable. Sounds like self--promotion. Mathglot (talk) 23:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - self-promotion based on self-published sources and references about the company (WP:NOTINHERITED applies). No in-depth coverage found via Google. @Mathglot: only a suggestion of course, but you could include a nomination for Harsh Patel here too, the other co-founder. The second article suffers from exactly the same problems and should be deleted aswell. GermanJoe (talk) 00:18, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@GermanJoe: you may be right, but the procedures for deletion policy are pretty specific and step-by-step, and my understanding is it wouldn't be right to include a nomination for anybody else on this page, so let's keep discussion here limited to Shaan Shah. If you open a separate Afd (see WP:AFDHOWTO) for Harsh Patel, please ping me from there. Mathglot (talk) 00:26, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article by an apparent undeclared paid editor, on a borderline notable firm, with promotional content.

Company has no references except for information about initial funding which I consider mere notices, and self-serving interviews with the promoters, which I consider non-independent no matter where published. I've read the WSJ article, and I regard it as promotionalism inspired by a PR stunt.

Best ___ under 25 and the like are similar to youth awards in athletics, and do not contribute to notability. If a company or firm does not have better to show, they are not notable. "Fastest growing" is also a gimmick for the not yet notable. , because the way to qualify for it is to go from essentially zero to very little.

As for promotionalism, names of products in Full capitals, a list of (non-notable) competitors, Managing to get in the name of the President of the US is blatant name dropping. A descriptive of the story of what I can best call their "cute meet" to found a product is a web site cliche. Such information can derive only from the two involved and is therefore not reliable, no matter where published.

It's going to be argued that the firm is notable. But it does not matter. Borderline notability combined with promotionalism is an equally good reason. Accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encycopedia . And it's unreasonable to expect volunteers to rewrite properly the hundreds of thousands of paid promotional articles that other people were paid for writing improperly.

  • Delete The only good source here is the WSJ article ([1]). But is it really WSJ? Partially, but it seems to be a syndicated (?) content / side blog from "editors of Dow Jones VentureWire" (blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/), through said editors are listed as "Reporter, Wall Street Journal". Still, it is a single source. NCOMPANY and other policies do say that a single source is not sufficient, and as such, I don't think this company cuts it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:34, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now and draft and userfy if needed as my searches seemed to have found results at News and Books but nothing particularly good. SwisterTwister talk 07:46, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-notable and promotional.
  • The only genuine content in this article is in the "History" section.
  • The sections on "Products and Services" and "National Entrepreneurs' Day" are pure puffery.
  • The awards are nothing (and mostly not awards, anyway): four of them relate to the founders, not the company; "Internet telephony" is a genuine award, if very dated; and being 66 out of 500 on a big list isn't an award or even anything much to shout about.
  • "Competitors" is irrelevant.
  • As for the references: those that contain more than a passing reference are about the founders and not the company.
So where's the company's notability? One minor award, nine years ago. A clever marketing campaign involving chocolate. That's it.

I was recently asked to protect this because of BLP violations. I removed some BLP-violating material, blocked an SPA, and have since been asked to remove more. The result is that there isn't much of the article left. It isn't clear whether the subject is notable enough for an entry, and no one uninvolved seems keen to develop it, so I'm bringing it here. I have no opinion on this myself. Sarah (talk) 22:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • An ethical dilemma is at work with this entry putting BLP guidelines in conflict with the truth
There are three major talking points all of which resulted in a less than favorable outcome. (Bitcoin ATM - Libertairian Housing Colony <both did not come to fruition, Nefarious Passport Service)
Contentious material is primarily that, if untrue
What if, In this case the "Contentious material, is true
Since the article is contentious and true, DELETE since it applies to BLP to do otherwise is Denialism Grockeds (talk) 06:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Grockeds has been indefblocked for block evasion/sockpuppetry. Sarah (talk) 16:49, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: broad selection of 3rd party sources cover the subject.[2] [3] [4] [5], daily bell bio [6]; many others listed on Talk by helpful IP contributor. Is also notable enough for the true movers and shakers to appear on his radio show and video cast [7] (([8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] etc)). Can stub it until someone decides to write an actual article. -- dsprc [talk] 07:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the sources are Youtube, his own podcast, and other blogs (about 10). The most notable source you mentioned was an article called "Atlas Mugged" which speaks to the "ethical dilemma". Atlas Mugged talks about the loss of $4.3 million dollars of money and the estrangement of Berwick from the project within the context of a business controversy. The dilemma is that a balanced and truthful article cannot be written without referencing the controversy regarding a living person. As soon as you write an entry here there will be calls for NPOV and BLP because the secondary sources of merit are not neutral. I would appreciate if you could speak to the reconciliation of that point. If that point was not a blocking force, then I would write the article, its just that nobody would be happy with the end result If you cannot say something good about someone, don't say it. Grockeds (talk) 13:55, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:dsprc, if there is a bangkeep result, are you willing to watchlist Jeff Berwick, per my worries below? User:Grockeds, same question, if an article can be written, which neutrally covers the high-risk high-reward investments that the BLP-article must necessarily cover, are you willing to help maintain it, on your watchlist? As dsprc points out, the broadcaster-success seems to be largely positive, and I also believe that the bitcoin event will be a positive (once rewritten neutrally). There are extenuating circumstances for the passport thing, which apparently was legal in the specific country at the specific time, or at least quasi-legal. Anyways, I believe the article can be written to cover events properly, there are plenty of sources with nice things to say about Berwick, but I worry that the article will easily get out of whack again, in a bad way, if we don't have several people keeping an eye on it. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 14:03, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment See list at Talk:Jeff_Berwick#WP:SOURCES, plus a couple in section below. I am happy to work on the article-rewrite, but do agree there are some BLP-issues at play here (talkpage has some examples of negative commentary by editors who apparently have real-world very strong opinions). I've never heard of this BLP-subject, but the sources are often glowly-positive and/or fiery-negative, from what I've seen; getting the NPOV balance right, of reflecting what the wiki-reliable sources say, with due weight, will be a bit tricky. Still, I think this is a keep, easily passes WP:GNG, as long as there are enough long-haul wikipedians willing to watchlist the page going forward, and act as long-term stewards of the rewritten version, to keep it from degenerating into a pro-Berwick puff-piece *or* an anti-Berwick hit-piece. There are potential real-world-legal-repercussions, to either kind of degeneration-mistake. p.s. The first AfD mentions some kind of yacht-accident, covered in pre-2005 newspapers, so coverage bursts are stockhouse.com (hypothetical), yacht-sinking, guests on podcast, chilean real estate, bitcoin ATMs, expat passports, and libertarian campaign, plus background-details like DOB and such. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 14:03, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
'Chilean real estate, bitcoin ATMs, expat passports <-tell me if any of these elements which make him notable had positive outcomes' Atlas Mugged, No source to support Berwicks withdrawal from https://bitcoinatm.com/ other than his own announcement on his own blog, and the Expat Passports the foreign press on the illegality of, other than that original research. There is not much that can be talked about here.Grockeds (talk) 14:18, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Youtube are in parenths(); is just quick n' easy hack to note guest-list and is by no means being used as source for any particular content in article. wp:Wikipedia is not censored... warts and all that jazz. Have no opinion on subject (stumbled across AfD via recent changes). Is watchlisted but, am out of country with intermittent connectivity, so likely may be gaps in ability to respond to issues. If you want to hack out an article, IP 75.xxx, have at it (I've not time/motivation). I make no promises but can try. Need more eyes on it anyway, however. Can gold, white or orange lock if need be. -- dsprc [talk] 15:11, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The quality of the article is irrelevant. The subject is well-known and easily passes gng. Just to make sure I had the right guy I double checked and found excellent sources including CNN, CNBC, Forbes along with tons of lesser-known sites, some of which are promotional garbage, but a few of which are good sources. The article may need TNT, but the subject is clearly notable.Jacona (talk) 11:55, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jacona, can you please put the Jeff Berwick article on your watchlist, since there seem to have been a lot of BLP-violations there in the past? Your WP:CHOICE entirely of course, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.  :-)     75.108.94.227 (talk) 20:11, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article, resting entirely on unreliable sources like Twitter and iTunes, about a song with no substantive claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC. Technically this qualifies for speedy deletion as an A9 — but the artist's article is up for DRV due to a controversial close, so I don't think an A9 is appropriate here. But even if her BLP does get restored or recreated, songs don't get automatic inclusion rights on Wikipedia just because they exist — they have to make and reliably source an actual claim of notability to earn a standalone Wikipedia article.

2015–16 North American winter[edit]

With the exception of El Niño, there is little to go off, although the ongoing El Niño may soon warrant an article separately. Winter has not started in North America just because a single storm has occurred in Alaska. It was hard enough for me to convince other editors to adopt the idea of winter season articles, and I decided to wait until activity had already started to before creating article for 2014-15 so as to avoid starting out with a stub with bad and inconsistent formatting. There won't be official forecasts for a good month, and winter itself won't begin for several weeks after that in most areas. This article is unneeded, and it will amount to little more than speculation. The previous season's article wasn't created until December 21 and we survived without it, so I believe an article full of little more than speculation for multiple months is not of benefit to the encyclopedia. I am not making the claim that the topic will not become notable. I am saying it is clearly too early. Having an article two to two-and-a-half months in advance of anything of significance is WP:Too soon. If you think the El Niño is significant, maybe create an article for that, but at the current time, this subject is not of significance. When I first proposed the concept of North American winter articles, this was the very sort of thing I was trying to avoid. The average storm is not of significance; only all the storms together are enough to establish unquestionable significance. To create this article when there have been no storms and will be no storms for months is in contradiction with the proposal I originally spent so much time working out, with the winter storm events (especially the notable ones) being the points from which the seasonal articles receive their own notability. Dustin (talk) 20:12, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative might be to create a draft. It doesn't matter a huge amount where, so long as there is a way for people to know where it is. I think I created a draft somewhere a few weeks ago although I can't recall at the moment. Either way and regardless of where this hypothetical draft would be located, creating a draft wouldn't be as bad an alternative in my opinion. Dustin (talk) 20:51, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The subject does not seem to meet any criteria of WP:BAND. I dont think they have received significant coverage in reliable sources. Hitro talk 20:06, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I do not agree with user HitroMilanese. The band is active and their respective members are musicians with previously well know bands for example, the ex member played in the band Lene Kosti, one of the current guitarist play in the band Uroš and another one had played in a band called Carnaval which is currently one of the biggest stoner band in Slovenia. Of course it may not be pop music that Jegulja plays, but the band gets only good reviews. Even the main Slovenian concert organizer Kiborg Spužva Buking vouch for these guys. Also anyone at Metelkova can vouch for them. Please read, check the link in the Notes paragraph from the article. And Slovenian radio Radio Študent (radio student) made a report from their latest concert when they were opening for the band called Philm at club Gromka.

  • KeepYou can't vote twice. User named Kraxler said that band fails all criteria of WP:NBAND, where he is wrong in the first bullet point of the same rule. Slovenian radio called Radio Študent is a radio that covers everything from politics and news to articles and music. The source is thus reliable, non-trivial in Slovenia and is independent of the musicians themselves. This is an online version of print media and everything was aired on the radio. And They also have played in Ukraine, Lviv at Electric meadow festival which gave them recognition abroad.

Non-notable film. Almost the whole text in the article is original research about plot inconsistencies. ColinFine (talk) 19:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I created the article a few years ago when I was relatively new to Wikipedia and looking back on it now, it doesn't meet the notability guidelines. On the other hand I don't really see how the concern over original research weighs in the deletion decision. Those two paragraphs about plot inconsistencies were added by a third editor, who might be able to source them, and until/unless s/he does then they should definitely go, however such a removal can be easily done and so it shouldn't affect the rest of the stub. benzband (talk) 20:38, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the sources look unreliable including [16]. The source [17] is not independent. The source [18] is a dead link. Unless the information that doesn't appear in any of the remaining reliable sources gets removed, I don't think this article belongs in Wikipedia.

Snow keep, as a lot of the other sources are solidly reliable: the New York Times, AV Club, TIME. Meets WP:GNG as a notable subject and has enough examples explainable with references that "might be too short" doesn't seem like a reason for deletion. Googling the headline of the dead NYT link shows that it's now here, and writes about the phenomenon in depth. The article also cites an explanation in TIME Magazine, and an AV Club source which explains the term and mentions mainstream adoption of it, including a planned short film series Clive Barker’s Creepy Pasta.--McGeddon (talk) 16:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep The valid references from the previous AFDs are still there and make this article meet WP:GNG nothing in terms of notability have changed since the previous AFD.

I think you're right.

  • Keep per those above. Blackbombchu, did you not even bother to look at the talkpage (where every AFD is listed in exactly the place they're supposed to be) before diving in and nominating this? Unlike some of Wikipedia's internet meme articles, which are dubiously sourced waffle of highly questionable notability (I see Polandball has reappeared), this genuinely is a well-documented phenomenon. ‑ iridescent 16:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know talk pages of articles that have been nominated before showed the nomination log. It won't happen again that I nominate an article for deletion without first looking to see if its talk page has that log. Blackbombchu (talk) 17:05, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
AfDing an article for having unreliable sources when its opening paragraph contains the sentence "According to TIME magazine, the genre had its peak audience in 2010 when it was covered by The New York Times." suggests a misunderstanding of how notability works. You say in your nomination that "Unless the information that doesn't appear in any of the remaining reliable sources gets removed, I don't think this article belongs in Wikipedia." - an article having a mix of both reliable and unreliable sources is not a reason to delete the article, it's at most a reason to delete the unreliable sources and the statements they support. --McGeddon (talk) 17:22, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm not sure where the distinction is here between this and East-West dichotomy, which is inherently about international relations. If there is sourced content to be added, I believe it should be in the primary article, which is not so large as to require a split. However, I have to agree that what we have here reads like original research, and it is direly in need of sourcing if it is to be kept anywhere. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems East-West dichotomy is mostly about cultural differences between Europe/North America and East Asia, while this article is more about the East/West divide associated with the Cold War. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 15:09, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Comment - it is a bit strange that East-West dichotomy makes no mention of cold war era Eastern Bloc-Western Bloc divide.

  • Delete The article is entirely orignian research and reads like a paper for a lower division IR class. It has a specific thesis that the E/W can be seen through membership in international organizations and then proceeds, without sources, to try to demonstrate this. This is the definition of what we do not do at Wikipedia. Since there are no sources that demonstrate that the Cold War bi-polarity and the post Cold War alignment of the international system is referred to, significantly, in the literature as "the East-West dichotomy" there is no reason to preserve the article title. JbhTalk 18:33, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Although the article was nominated for deletion, the decision needn't necessarily be - to delete or not delete. Contributors have pointed out some problems with the article, namely style and lack of sources, but I'm not sure that this alone justifies scrapping the whole article. I would argue, that at the very least, the tables themselves are of interest and very useful in any discussion of East-West dichotomy at the institutional level. For this reason alone the article should remain, probably in a reedited form. I welcome your suggestions or ideas on this, and thank you for the comments you've provided so far. --Mrodowicz (talk) 11:16, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the entire thing reads like original research. We do not do that here. Without sources there is no evidence that the topic, as defined, is even notable. The East-bloc/West-bloc divide is typically discussed in IR in the context of Balance of power with the break up of the Soviet Union leading to a transition from bipolarity to either a multi-polar system or a hegemonic one. It is not, as far as I know, discussed in the same context as Global-North/South or Centre-Periphery is in Dependency theory. If the article was written, as it should have been, with secondary reliable sources which were then used to create a tertiary source (What Wikipedia is) then those sources should be cited in the article because without doing so the article is either a copyright violation or worse plagiarism. If it is entirely the product of your own knowledge, analysis and synthesis then it simply does not belong in the encyclopedia. JbhTalk 14:09, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jbhunley, thanks for your comments. So far as I can tell, our positions on this may not necessarily be as far apart as they might seem. I've already indicated in my comment above, albeit vaguely, how the article might be reedited to alleviate some of the concerns mentioned. I will elaborate on this further:
  • Delete from the article all reference to Cold War bipolarity/tripolarity and its relation to the present state of affairs, and focus instead on E/W dichotomy in the context of post-Cold War era institutions. This should go some way towards eliminating the sense of original research, analysis and synthesis you allude to.
  • Rescind from the latter half of the article, any points which might be construed as constituting original research.
  • The remainder will constitute the reedited article, which will hopefully be a more satisfactory outcome to all parties involved in the discussion.

Your thoughts on the process briefly outlined above? --Mrodowicz (talk) 12:57, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrodowicz: what you seem to be failing to get is the topic and content are secondary issues that can only be addressed after you have citations. Please read our prohibition of original research. You must have reliable sources which are cited to verify both the notability of the topic and the content of the article. Most particularly all of the assertions and conclusions must be supported by individual sources with no independent synthesis or analysis done on your part. Please see our policy against synthesis.

I recognize you have done a lot of hard work putting together the article but as it stands it is not appropriate material for Wikipedia because it makes assertions in Wikipedia's voice which are unsubstantiated by sources or references. What you need to do is:

  1. Find some source material that discusses the topic you are interested in.
  2. Read it.
  3. Write an article summarizing what the sources say
  4. Cite the references you summarized.
Think more 'high school book report' than 'university seminar'. We summarize, we do not analyze or synthesize. It is great if you want to learn about a new subject but can be frustrating for people who want to express their own thoughts on a topic. I hope this makes my objections to this article more clear. Cheers. JbhTalk 13:29, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that's pretty clearly stated, User:Jbhunley. :) Wikipedia exists to neutrally and in due-proportion summarize what reliable sources say about notable subjects. If it cannot be directly and specifically cited to a reliable source, it does not belong on Wikipedia. I'd like to note that in the absence of sources that make this suitable for Wikipedia, it might have a home at one of our sister projects that is more open to university seminars. :) Specifically, this might make an interesting course of study at Wikiversity or a section of a Wikibook. I say might, because I am not deeply familiar with their policies. I have done some work at Wikiversity in basic course material (elementary algebra), but I don't know what their criteria may be for more advanced material. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:41, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jbhunley & Moonriddengirl, thank you for your comments, and for alerting me to these other sites. I respect your positions on this. However, I can’t help feeling that my article is being singled out in a somewhat arbitrary fashion – being required to live up to the highest WP standards, with the bulk of WP articles being subjected to far less scrutiny. If we were all so keen to apply the strictest possible standards to all WP articles, we’d probably find that up to 1/4 of the total output would disappear, much to the detriment of the site. The guidelines are primarily there to prevent abuse, and keep out junk-articles, not out of a need to conserve space or create the maximum number of obstacles to what can be included.

This article is not rocket science - in fact it is almost childishly simple, yet it is constantly being suggested that the article is full of analysis and synthesis. I’ve already conceded that the first part of the article relating to Cold War etc. can be scrapped, whilst retaining the bulk of the article following the sub-title “21st century”. Having done so, I would like to CHALLENGE my fellow contributors to point out where all these alleged instances of analysis and synthesis are present. I’m hard-pressed to find a single instance of genuine analysis or synthesis, in the suggested amended form of the article.

As I’ve just said – it’s a very simple article, which can be easily summarised in a few points:

a. There exists such a thing as the ‘East-West dichotomy’.

b. There exists such a thing as the ‘East-West dichotomy’ in international relations.

c. There is some evidence of the E-W dichotomy in international institutions.

d. The following institutions are generally perceived as being western institutions

e. The following countries are members of these western institutions

f. The following institutions are generally perceived as being non-western or eastern institutions

g. The following countries are members of these non-western or eastern institutions

h. Some countries are not members of any of these institutions, and these countries are as follows...

i. Summing up/concluding remarks

THAT’S IT!

Where is the originality? In fact, it’s all so boringly unoriginal! Yet somehow, I’m being made to feel that I’ve undertaken some gargantuan task of major research (or worse, plagiarised from somewhere else), and that I’m posting the results here for all the world to see. I’ve asked my fellow contributors to make suggestions or amendments, if you have cause for concern with any particular aspects of the article, which we could work on editing. Unfortunately most of the feedback I’ve received so far has been in the form of negative remarks phrased in abstract terms, based on the strictest interpretation of WP rules, with barely any concrete remarks in relation to the content of the article itself. --Mrodowicz (talk) 13:50, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrodowicz: Where did this statement in the article come from? "In the 21st Century, the East-West dichotomy is present in the field of international relations, and remains an important division, in the international arena.[citation needed] The East-West dichotomy, can be contextualised within the framework of modern political, economic and military institutions.[citation needed] The characteristics of these can be traced back to the early post-WWII era, concurrent with the onset of the Cold War.[citation needed]" Do yo have a reliable source you can cite for that claim or did you come up with that thesis yourself? If you do not have a source that makes the same claim then it can not be in the encyclopedia because of our policy forbidding original research and if must be removed. Let me quote the opening of WP:V

In Wikipedia, verifiability means that anyone using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it.

and more specificly WP:PROVEIT

All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution.

Since that statement defines the subject of the article unless you can support it with citations to reliable sources there can be no article. Does that make more sense to you? I added {{citation needed}} for each part that needs a reference. You also need to find a source that says those facts taken together are important and not just a collection of facts per WP:SYNTHJbhTalk 14:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC) Added material JbhTalk 14:12, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I personally feel that this article fails to meet WP:GNG. I am also nominating the following related pages because they may also fail to meet WP:GNG:

A Pup Grows Up (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Amby & Dexter (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Mighty Bug 5 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The subject of these articles are short series where only a few installments were made, and are not as important or noteworthy as the longer shows that formed the meat of the Nick Jr. block. ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps) 21:34, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep:
Many Disney Junior short series (such as Go, Baby!, Tasty Time with ZeFronk, Where Is Warehouse Mouse?, Shanna's Show, Can You Teach My Alligator Manners?, Nina Needs to Go!, etc.) are about the same length (and run) as these programs. It does not matter how short the length of an episode is, they are still TV series and deserve to be noted.
You should note that they are not all "short series," they are short-form series, meaning that they are shorter than eleven minutes. A Pup Grows Up had twenty or so installments on the Sprint mobile application, but I can only find video clips of three. Same goes for Mighty Bug 5 and Hocle and Stoty, which I know had more episodes than what is recorded but since pages cannot include original research, only confirmed episode numbers are given.
For Hocle and Stoty specifically, its age has caused information on it to be hard to find. However, it was featured as a museum exhibit, which is certainly more than can be said for most TV shows.
One problem that might be making you feel that they fail notability tests is that most articles centered on them have since been deleted, as they are at least ten years old each; using the Wayback Machine may be helpful if you want more information on them.

  • Keep: Wikipedia has articles on TV shows that never even broadcast a single episode (see List of television series canceled before airing an episode), and seeing as these shows were broadcast on a huge channel like Nickelodeon and some (judging by Mighty Bug 5's references) even got their own NickJr.com pages, they are definitely notable. I could see some concern about a never-aired pilot, but these shows were aired. I don't understand how run-time comes into play whatsoever, it does not matter; that's like saying an 11-minute program is less notable than a 21-minute one.

Non-notable local newspaper journalist and self-learned "historian" who wrote two non-notable books. Appears to be famous only in his home town Pichilemu (pop. 13,000). Sietecolores (talk) 16:19, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Arraño was not just a "local newspaper journalist", but a member of most Chilean regional and national newspapers, you can do a simple search on the National Library of Chile catalog, put there his name, and there will appear articles by him on Las últimas Noticias, El Mercurio, La Discusión of Chillán, La Prensa Austral, El Rancagüino, among many other publications. This nomination is motivated by bias against Pichilemu-related material, and should be speedily closed. --Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 23:09, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having books indexed in the National Library of Chile catalog does not make one author notable. All books published in Chile are registered there. Can´t see anything notable in having been a journalist at the newspapers you mention. The newspapers does not confer notability to their journalist as McDonnald does not confer notability to its exployees. -Sietecolores (talk) 01:05, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are purposedly distorting things, I urge you to stop such behavior. The National Library has some of his articles indexed separately from books and magazines, because the Library has a Critical References Archive. Such archive contains several articles about him, his books, (written by known Chilean literary authors), and there they are, publicly available. --Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 04:47, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • So where are the "articles about him" and "his books"? Once we get these alleged documents on the table we can see if they can confer him notability or not. Sietecolores (talk) 17:57, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Seeing that all of the articles that I looked at were from regional newspapers, i did searches in as many of the national Chilean papers where I could find a search box, and consistently got zero. Can someone comment on policy around regional-only notability? I honestly don't know how to judge this - he seems very important regionally, but not at a national level.

  • Indeed, this is correct, the sources are independent from the game. Nintendo Life and Nintendo World Report's connection to Nintendo are like what Mac Life is to Apple Inc. or PC Gamer is to Personal computers. It defines the subject matter they cover, but has no actual affiliation or connection. Additionally, this game is neither developed or published by Nintendo to begin with, it merely appears on one of their video game consoles, so there's all sorts of issues with the nomination.

  • Delete. I am not finding significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. The article currently relies on sources that are not independent (e.g., self-published by the sport's governing body, BAFA, or the team) and/or that consist of routine game coverage (i.e., not focused on G. Thomas). These are insufficient to satisfy WP:GNG. Based on my searches, G. Thomas doesn't appear sufficiently notable for a standalone article under WP:GNG or WP:NGRIDIRON.

  • Delete - Non-notable amateur/semi-pro British player of American football. This subject presents an interesting challenge for American editors reviewing it for notability, because we are usually familiar with the leagues, conferences and teams of college and professional football players in the United States. It is, however, clear that the subject is not a player in a top-tier pro football league like the NFL or CFL, and BAFA's various tiers are on par with the "national" American football leagues in Australia, Austria, France and Germany -- which is to say, not nearly as competitive as Division I college football in the United States, and with a much, much smaller fan following. That's the background, and there is no applicable specific notability guideline for these amateur, semi-pro and lower tier pro players. That means they must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. The references for this article are a collection of sources from brief game summaries (no significant), the league and team websites (not independent), fansites, blogs, and even a sports photographer's website (not reliable). This case clearly demonstrates how a clever editor may stitch together as fairly detailed article from various online references and the subject still not be notable. Our concept of "notability" seeks to evaluate how widely known a subject is, using significant coverage in independent reliable sources as a proxy. Here, such coverage does not exist. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I agree with what you've said above. Under the vague guideline WP:NGRIDIRON, the BAFANL should be considered a fully professional league, and as such this and many other players would be considered notable. There is a severe problem concerning the US bias that currently exists on en.wikipedia, especially within sports articles. This player clearly fails GNG, but that's exactly why we have GRIDIRON, which states players need to "have appeared in at least one regular season or post season game in... any other top-level professional league". FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 14:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This AfD reflect a prudent consensus that the BAFANL is not a "top-level professional league". The level of talent is not on par (or even close) with the Arena Football League, Canadian Football League, National Football League, American Football League, All-America Football Conference or United States Football League, which are the examples provided in the guideline of "top-level professional leagues". To this date, American football is primarily a North American sport, and I doubt there is a European league that would qualify as "top-level" as the phrase is used in WP:NGRIDIRON. Cbl62 (talk) 01:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @FoCuSandLeArN: You're confusing the specific notability standard for American/Canadian football per WP:NGRIDIRON and that for association football/soccer per WP:NFOOTBALL. The specific guideline for American/Canadian football players is not defined by reference to "fully professional league," like association football/soccer, but by reference to players who have participated in one or more regular season games in specific top-tier, high-notability leagues such as the CFL and NFL (and several of the present NFL's predecessor leagues). Cbl62's description of the NGRIDRION guideline above is correct. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope, I was quoting NGRIDIRON verbatim. The question is what constitutes "any other" top-level professional league, for which I see no discussion here (alas AfD wouldn't be the appropriate venue) or elsewhere. I am pointing out the weaknesses presented by the guideline, I am not commenting as to whether BAFANL is or is not a professional league. We see this time and time again at AfD and AfC; we wouldn't if the guidelines were clearer. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 12:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not notable as a football player since he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. Routine sports coverage and passing mentions do not meet [[WP:GNG]. The fact it's an autobiography is just the final straw.Jakejr (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My searches simply found nothing to suggest better sourcing and the best results I found were this. There are only two move targets one of them being Mogubai Kurdikar (which simply mentions he was a student) but this suggests sourcing may be archived and offline but that's not going to save the article at this moment and the article hasn't improved much (outside adding an infobox) since starting in July 2007.

Does not satisfy general notability guidelines. Creator of the article appears to be the owner/founder of the company. May be a valid speedy deletion. Jujutacular (talk) 23:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jujutacular - there is nothing wrong if a creator of an article is an owner/founder of the company being covered, as it is just a technical matter. If I let an independent entity say a friend or a family member to update Stockato, would it be OK? According to the Wikipedia guidelines probably yes. What matters is not who updates a certain content, but what public references to the topic exist. In regards with Stockato there are references at the USPTO, Tradestreaming. and The Ben Gurion University of the Negev. Best, Uri K.

Further, look closely at the editing history - multiple editors edited Stockato over the past several years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kartoun (talkcontribs) 13:59, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We discussed this at WP:RFD#Matt Mahoney and it WP:SNOWballed as a retarget to the DAB at Matthew Mahoney. That is fine but I think wearing WP:TWOHATS we can just hatnote one to the other, which also should save us a disambiguation on one or the other but I assume neither is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. But I will do the crosslinks after listing this cos someone else, if they disagree, can take em out. It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.

This discussion was originally at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mahoney but I moved it here for the benefit of the tools that automatically detect these things. Also worth noting is that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mahoney (2nd nomination) exists, which I think is Si's good-faith error using the tool, and not meant to have been a separate discussion. This is the only time that this page has been nominated for deletion. My apologies (and on Si's behalf, unless he says otherwise) that this is confusing.

Delete. In other words does not mean Fly Me to the Moon, so this is WP:RFD#D2 confusing.

The article now includes specific issue dates for all the magazines listed. Moreover, additional citations were added for websites, including blabblermouth.net covering the band's reunion. The original author of AfD referenced the lack of label information. All record labels that have released the band's material are now listed, including past and current labels. Shadow Kingdom and Dovebomb Records are currently reissuing the band's music. Even the author of the Delete for now referenced that he or she found an article calling Aftermath pioneering. In the May 1999 issue of College Music Journal (CMJ) they refer to the band as "Aftermath a popular demo band from the 1980's...." on page 51 of that issue.
I believe the lack of specific citations has been resolved. The band's inclusion on Wikipedia should be confirmed. Furthermore, I have taken the appropriate steps to adhere to the neutral aspects of contributing to the article by relying on facts and third party sources. A quick google search for Aftermath Eyes of Tomorrow will reveal numerous articles on the band not referenced in the article and sites selling the band's music including iTunes and Amazon.2601:246:4300:7AFC:6CA0:FFAF:8576:8CB (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Zoident[reply]

Does not appear to meet notability for bands. I'm not able to find any non-trivial published sources excluding things like discogs listings. The closest thing I can find to coverage of this band is an article about a different band releasing their debut album which mentions in passing that the guitarist used to play for this band.[1] They don't appear to have charted, and the record label which released their 3 records is not considered a "major record label". Also, a note for the closing admin if this ends up being deleted there's also a redirect at Demise of Eros (band) that will need to be speedied under G8. Likewise if this ends up being kept, this was apparently a cut and paste move, so the article history at Demise of Eros (band) should be merged. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 19:49, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. This is a non-notable individual song and promotional single by an artist who is only slightly notable anyway. It seems suitable to be mentioned in other articles about the artist but not to have an article of its own. Some of the references are just hype pages and links to the video.

This has been around a long time but the refs generally make no mention of Chad Steelberg, or at best as a peripheral mention. This is about the business he was involved him and not the man. No evidence of notability (other than he is rich) is demonstrated.

One of a whole bunch of fictional biographies from a small, relatively recent sitcom. Secondary sourcing is lacking--there seems to be no reason whatsoever to presume that this character needs to have their own article.

Thanks for that, Cutest Penguin! It's a really useful custom google search site for India related articles. And yes, there are plenty of news articles found, however, none speak about the song in depth. All of them says, "Love Dope is a song from the album Desi Kalakaar" which is not enough for a stand alone article. The song exists doesn't mean we should have an article on it. It's content forking.

  • Comment This is Jeonghan. I understand that his page is difficult to keep as he is still new to the industry so only few articles are made about him. But it's Wen Junhui's page I'm trying to save. If you only use 'Wen Junhui', articles about other Junhui's are shown instead. But if you use the Chinese character of his name (文俊辉) you'll have this or this. He was a child actor in China so most of the articles about him are in Chinese.

Jeonghan, the member of Seventeen is not famous in Koera. Seventeen debuted May 26, 2015. Just 4 months before. In Korea wikipedia, all members of the Seventeen is linked together at '세븐틴(음악 그룹)'.

I believe this to be a non-notable person. While she certainly seems to have accomplished a lot over the years (establishing school athletics programs, starting a local swim club and theatre troupe, etc) - none of these things makes her notable enough to merit a wikipedia article.

I initially PRODded with the summary "G10 borderline, fails WP:BLPCRIME", then it was contested by article creator with no summary, but this person does not appear to be notable. Just murdering your mother, who has an article here, (striked because of Metropolitan90's comment) does not make you notable. There is no "Early life" section or anything other than that info so that makes the notability even more questionable. TL22 (talk) 01:52, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The subject murdered his grandmother Eleanor Clark, but she was not the same person that the Eleanor Clark article is about.

Promotional article on probably non-notable company, from now-banned promotional editor. Kept earlier on the basis of multiple refs in Highbeam, but they seem all to have been multiple reprints of press releases about various funding arrangements. DGG ( talk ) 01:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Circumstances have not changed since the first nomination. The company is 15 years old, employs 1200+ people and has sufficient reliable sources for inclusion, which is more than many other smaller company articles in the UK have. Note that One 97 is notable as the parent company of Paytm, which has never been marked for deletion. If this article is suitable for deletion then the other should also be deleted by default. NB: I have noted a tag on the article indicating a major contributor may be involved with the company, but does not indicate who, yet there does not appear to be a single 'major contributor' shown in the article editing history, therefore that tag is misleading and should be removed. As the Chinese company Alibaba Group only own 25% of the company then there is no need to redirect it to them, as it is not a wholly owned 'subsidiary company'. Tata also own shares and you cannot redirect an article to two others. Richard Harvey (talk) 08:56, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Smartse:. Thanks for the info. I had not realised the article was created by a paid advocate! In the circumstances I will change my stance and support Delete. Regardless of what is on the article in my mind it is original research. Richard Harvey (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Richard Harvey:. If you have changed your mind, you should strike the "Keep" in your original comment. As for Paytm, that should be deleted as well, in my view. The usual story, 5-year-old start up referenced to a plethora of PR schlock, impeccably formatted and helpfully added by the same editor, who created One97.

  • Keep - Are we deleting because it was from a now banned editor, it is promotional, or it is not notable? Press releases are often the start of news. If it is picked up by reliable sources, then I consider it a reliable source. If it says "press release" on the reliable source and references where it came from, that's different. However, seeing that many of them were picked up by reliable sources and written as an article is a different story. They have plenty of in depth coverage in reliable sources. --TTTommy111 (talk) 20:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Purely promotional and obviously a case of someone 'mistakenly' believing that Wikipedia is another LinkedIn, not understanding the difference between an Encyclopedia and a comercial networking site or the Yellow Pages, and being paid for it. Wikipedia cannot be allowed to be used for profit in this way at the abuse of the voluntary unpaid time that dedicated users spend building this encyclopedia which in spite of some biographies and articles about some companies, was never intended to be an additional business networking platform or source of income. Whether the text itself sounds promotional or not, the article is an advert and a plethora of sources has never been an automatic assumption of notability.

  • Comment This is a pretty serious case of WP:GEOBIAS. This is a fairly large Indian company, with thousands of employees, millions in turnover and significant coverage in reliable sources such as the daily Indian business newspaper The Economic Times. I ask all delete-voters here, would they nominate an American company in similar circumstances? With Wall Street Journal coverage? Absolutely shameful. The paid editing aspect is irrelevant, frankly. Clean it up if that is the concern. AusLondonder (talk) 02:39, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Geobias may be a factor, or may be a red-herring: not all participants are American and Circle is US, so on balance I'd say evidence would say it's a red-herring. It's a face-value we've got to do something about the undisclosed COI corruption of our standards. We're not guided in this long-term aspect, just in normal day-to-day N.

Promotional article supported entirely by PRIMARY sources (mainly press releases) and name drops. No indication of notability, and the draft version was repeatedly declined for similar reasons. Primefac (talk) 01:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment While I don't think the article as it stands establishes notability, I haven't done a full WP:BEFORE check, and it doesn't sound aas if you have either, Primefac or if you have, you don't mention it above. As to the sources, [29] is a reliable source, although the mention of the subject is brief. [30] is a reliable source, and does not seem to be based on a press release. [31] may be reliable, I'm not sure of the credentials of the author. [32] looks to be reliable, but the key content is behind a paywall. I think this needs more checking before a decision is made. If it is kept it must be edited to remove promotional content and puffery, of course. DES (talk) 02:39, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did check all of those sources, and I did not feel that those sources demonstrated enough detail to demonstrate notability. Obviously if consensus is that I was overly critical, then I'll roll with it. Primefac (talk) 02:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. When I ask if you did a WP:BEFORE search, I mean did you do a net search of your own for other sources, not provided by the article drafter, to see if any of them demonstrated or helped to demonstrate notability? DES (talk) 02:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to draft space. I don't know why this ended up in article space, but it shouldn't be there. It might eventually be accepted through AfC if the blatant advertising, blatant paid editing and questionable notability are dealt with. Deletion was proposed here by DGG and supported by SmokeyJoe and Sam Sailor, and seems a reasonable alternative.

There is no reason to think that after moving it back to draft space it would stay there, nor that after 5 declines it will prosper there, although it could if the creator and associates were willing. I fear it must be made into an acceptable article during this AfD, or else deleted. DES (talk) 12:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, salt, and not move to draft space. Having it there did not produce any improvement in the past, and there's no reason to expect any in the future. The MfD already deleted it there. DGG ( talk ) 17:30, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Strictly speaking, the MfD didn't delete this or any version of it. It looked like it was heading to a delete outcome, but still had lots of time to run, when it was interrupted by the HistMerge, and made moot by the opening of this AfD. It is possible (but unlikely) that further eedits could have reverse the trend at the MfD. DES (talk) 22:28, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I searched for significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, but found only passing mentions, press releases and the usual social media stuff controlled by the company. Not notable. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:01, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and salt due to the number of times a promotional article about this company has been drafted, submitted, moved, merged, created and otherwise wasted time of Wikipedians who might otherwise be building an encyclopedia. I was unable to find reliable sources to support notability. Cited sources often either don't support the promotional content or were cherry picked for promotion. For example, the current article states "In 2012, DNS Made Easy made history...DNS Made Easy's network was unaffected by the attack with no effects to end users" but the cited source was dated 2010 and says otherwise. The second paragraph in the lead claims that the company "is the number one provider in market shares" and the cited source supports the claim but other sources don't. Search for "dns service market share" or similar. I found no other source to support the company as number one. The company isn't notable. Articles about DNS Made Easy should be blocked for a while to minimize time wasted, recognizing that it may become notable enough for an article in the future. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 20:42, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny all of you claim wasted time of wikipedians and still be wasting your time in this discussion. Godaddy says "making it the world's largest ICANN-accredited registrar." doesn't this look like a promotional or advertisement? What if DNS Made Easy claims is the number one provider in market shares? There are so many little things on wikipedia and i see people never be interested to read/edit/improve on them but still existing. lol Doctree you're a racist man..

Best source is not even in the article, but what was used to undo a previous proposed deletion. That article talks about the meets size in 1990, but that article does not overcome the lack of sources and what appears to be lack of importance.

  • Comment The book burning actually got a lot of coverage. Local radio coverage from last year [33], Local News coverage (not related to book burning) from this year [34]. It meets at least WP:CORPDEPTH for such a small company since. WP:AUD is the real decision here, it has had national/international coverage in addition to continued regional coverage, but the most substantional national coverage is for one event. WP:LOCAL is pretty convincing to make a keep for locally known places that have had at least one nationally known notable thing. It also pops up on tons of travel/tourist stuff for KC, which isn't an official criteria might make people wonder why it's listed so they might look it up here. I think that since it's written pretty neutrally it should probably be kept. If it was promotional I'd probably be biased against it.--Savonneux (talk) 06:34, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, shouldn't we be looking at WP:EVENT for this one, ie. " Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance.", so if the coverage of the bookburning is discounted will there be enough to warrant an article? The "local news item" above does talk of the bookburning (probably why they decided to cover this news item) and talks about an urban library which may be a slight variation on the Little Free Library that individuals, groups and businesses have been setting up all over the world; prospero also happens to have set one up, hardly notable.

A handful of minor roles, but doesn't come close to WP:NACTOR in my view. I'm sympathetic to the argument that it's usually harder to find written information on Indian topics than Western ones, but when it's a BLP we're talking about, caution is called for. Subject must have played minor and supporting roles in various films and TV shows, but fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG.

Now I am writing true facts ‘Remember to assume good faith’ on article “Atul Srivastava”. What is now posted on wikipedia, looks like paid article (As most of “Mumbai Wikipedians” are famous as paid editors for struggling actors on pretext of giving them some kind of fake publicity and some kind of notability). Wikipedia editors should understand that this so called article on Atul Srivastava going to be bad reference for wikipedia in coming future as most of the time "Mumbai Wikipedians" blamed as working paid editors. These so called "Mumbai Wikipedians" editors has nexus with Mumbai based news papers journalist who help each other to create some kind of news and than links to wikipedia article to make ‘Noble’ and ‘Noticeable’. Interesting to note that this article on actor Atul Srivastava become ’Noble’ in few days. Please check the authenticity of given references on Atul Srivastava article. I have tried to compare all kind of available sources and it fails in every test including ‘NACTOR’. Please take decision after reading these two contradict articles by same news paper "IndianExpress" on Gulaab Gang: One as reference used by wikipedia editor[1] and now one I am showing you genuine reference that Atul Srivastava is not noble[2]

Please note Reference No: 1. a b c d e (for all five) gives only one News Paper Indian Express[1] source. Surprised to see for Reference (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e) there is only one reference. Lets read this bogus fake article written by a paid journalist(dated=9 March 2014):

  • Bogus Article on Gulaab Gang by Indian Express: ‘Gulaab Gang’ an important milestone of career: Atul Atul Srivastava has done minor roles in films like ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ and ‘Bhootnath’. After gaining appreciation for his minor roles in films like ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’, Munna Bhai MBBS’ and ‘Bhootnath’, actor Atul Srivastava says his character in Soumik Sen’s ‘Gulaab Gang’ is an important milestone of his career. Atul, 52, believes that his portrayal of a corrupt Block Development Officer in the movie, which released this Friday, will be appreciated by the audience. “I am getting good reviews about his work in Gulaab Gang. In the movie I get into a tiff with the Gulaab Gang leader Rajjo (Madhuri Dikshit), as I am playing a corrupt officer who charges bribe from the villagers to provide them electricity,” Atul told PTI. Talking about his working experience with Madhuri, Atul said, “Madhuri is a brilliant actor, and working with her has been a great learning experience for me.” This year Atul will deliver three more releases. In April ‘Chal Bhag’ will be released in the direction of Prakash Sainy, in which Atul plays a constable. Trained in acting from the Bharatendu Natya Academy in Lucknow, Atul will next play a protagonist in a film based on a story by Ravindranath Tagore – ‘Daak Ghar’. The film is titled – ‘Agar-magar, lekin, kintu-parantu’. Pradeep Das will direct the film. Apart from these Atul will be seen in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Bombay Velvet’ and Johny Walker’s son’s ‘Chahe Mujhe Koi Junglee Kahe’ under Bombay Talkies productions. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/gulaab-gang-an-important-milestone-of-career-atul/#sthash.ySA2RUom.dpuf

After reading this ‘Full of lies’ article I have reached on this conclusion. References:

  • 1. a: Lucknow.[1][1]

As per given ‘Indian Express’[1] article reference: Means Atul Srivastava has not done any thing noticeable (noble) before year 2014 - Gulaab Gang[1] film. It means he is not ’notable’.
  • Contradiction (EXPOSED): Now read the same news paper Indian Express[4] contradict article which does not talk about Atul Srivastava and his work in Gulaab Gang. If you read an article they even did not mention the name of Atul Srivastava in [Gulaab Gang]] article. Please read this article from same news paper Indian Express[5]
  • Genuine Article on Gulaab Gang by Indian Express:[6] Indian Express[7]: Now lets read this genuine article written by an honest journalist talk about (dated=8 March 2014):

Film review: ‘Gulab Gang’ is actually the old-style good vs evil story Madhuri Dixit’s 'Gulab Gang’ has nothing to do with Sampat Pal’s real-life ‘Gulaabi Gang’. Madhuri Dixi’s gang, on the other hand, is as make-believe as make-believe can get. ‘Gulaab Gang’ is faking it. Review: Gulaab Gang Movie review: Gulaab Gang Cast: Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Divya Jagdale, Priyanka Bose Director: Soumik Sen So fine , maybe Madhuri Dixit’s ‘Gulaab Gang’ has nothing to do with Sampat Pal’s real-life ‘Gulaabi Gang’, even if both wear pink saris, and fight for women’s rights in a rural North Indian outpost. The difference between the two films ( and ‘Gulaabi Gang’ did the smart thing by releasing just ahead of the Bollywood take) is stark : the first , featuring the plain-faced Sampat, is a hard-hitting documentary ; Madhuri Dixi’s gang, on the other hand, is as make-believe as make-believe can get. ‘Gulaab Gang’ is faking it. Fearless Rajjo ( Dixit) runs a sort of a `gulabi gurukul’ in a village named Madhopur, where she teaches little girls their alphabets, and grown-up girls how to wield a `lathi’. Her ‘gang’ is made up of women wearing bright pink, and the ones closest to her are a ‘boy-cut’ tomboy type ( Jagdale), a woman abandoned by her husband ( Chatterjee), and a kohl-eyed dusky female( Bose). These ladies accessorize their pink with oxidized silver, and at least one them has a very spiffy manicure, as they go about standing up for the meek and the downtrodden, and going up against villainous husbands, cops and politicians. But from its opening frame you discover that in its supposed feminist garb, ‘Gulaab Gang’ is actually the old-style good vs evil story, styled in the tired way these films have been for the longest time. Its chief baddie is, ta da, a woman. Sumitra Devi ( Chawla) is the sort of politician that men have played for ever : hungry for power, will stop at nothing, not even murder and mayhem. She rules with an iron fist and a sneer, and Chawla makes the most of her part, even if all the lip-chewing and narrowing-of-the-eyes doesn’t amount to much. Dixit doesn’t even rise above her pink sari-and-sickle, though you can see her trying her hardest with all the flying-through-the-air stunts, cleaving bad men’s clavicles, and so on. How can you take a film seriously when each bout of `lathi’-clashing is interspersed with group dances, with Rajjo-Rani doing the familiar Dixit` latkas’ and `jhatkas’? In a deeply offensive scene, Sumitra Devi makes a fellow crawl between her subordinate’s legs : I don’t know who cringed more– me, the viewer, or the two people who were in that scene, the woman who is ordered to spread her legs, and the man who is forced to crawl in between. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/film-review-gulab-gang-is-actually-the-old-style-good-vs-evil-story/#sthash.vdQYUiiF.dpuf

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search and there are no easily verifiable print citations. There are no worthwhile redirect targets.

So from what I can gather, the first source (DN) is a passing mention of the game, the second (Macworld SE) is about a minigame in Teazle and not Teazle itself, and the third (Aftonbladet) is a short blurb about its sequel. I still wouldn't argue that the game has significant coverage for its own article but I'd be fine with redirecting the title to an applicable section. The question is whether Teazle's developer is notable enough for its own article, or where else it would go. I think it should be deleted unless there is a clear article that can comfortably hold the meager Teazle background. – czar 14:27, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I can't find any references for the matches he's played, but if he did play for the Pumas then he certainly passes WP:NFOOTY. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 02:08, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Player did play for Pumas, according to the Liga MX link already in the article, where it says "Debut"..... But not in the league, in the Clausura 2013 Copa MX: the sheet for the match, which was against the fully professional opponents Puebla, shows him as a very late substitute. The corresponding Soccerway page shows only two substitutions, as opposed to the five that actually occurred, which is disappointing. Consensus is that cup matches between teams from fully professional leagues meet the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:NFOOTBALL. Although that was only a brief appearance a couple of years ago, the player is currently on loan at another team from a fully professional league, Toluca, so hasn't yet disappeared into obscurity. If he does disappear without making any further FPL appearances, feel free to bring him back here. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:37, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: after checking the veracity of those facts, the guy did play in the match against Puebla, as according to the official website. Here we can see the starting lineup, and he was on the field for four minutes during that match. According to our consensus that cup matches between two fully-pro teams are valid, he does meet WP:NFOOTY. MYS77 21:15, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The only coverage I can find of this player is brief mentions of his play for Pumas' under-17 and under-20 teams, and a mention of his appearance in the Copa MX. The article makes it clear that Pumas was using the Copa to play reserves ("fuerzas básicas"), so we can hardly consider that appearance to be on the same level as a fully-pro league match. Moreover a single appearance in a fully-pro league (especially for a handful of minutes) is not enough without some evidence of GNG compliance to keep an article (we've established consensus on this point in dozens of previous AfDs - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmos Munegabe is one of the first).

  • Comment - Jo, to clarify yor point, single appearances are fine when the player is still both active in FPLs and young. This guy is 22 and on loan at a team in an FPL. Fenix down (talk) 16:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's an accurate reflection of consensus - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Sinclair (footballer born 1991). Young players with only a few (4 in Vidales' case) minutes of play in a cup match need to show some sign of GNG compliance. Jogurney (talk) 19:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. Those players you have cited are those who technically pass WP:NFOOTY but have since dropped to a level not considered fully professional. This is a player who meets NFOOTY, is still active at a club in a fully professional league and is only 22. The players you mention are examples of individuals who made a couple of appearances at most and then completely disappeared from fully professional football.
Additionally, the inference in your comment that playing only a few minutes of football is relevant is misleading. NFOOTY makes no reference to duration of appearance, merely that an individual must have appeared. Fenix down (talk) 09:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This article doesn't satisfy NFOOTY because it was a cup match (and one where Pumas clearly used its reserves). Even if it did satisfy NFOOTY (based on our interpretation that a cup match between two clubs from a fully-pro league is a deemed fully-pro league match - which is dubious when we know one of the clubs is not treating the competition like a fully-pro league match), there are a series of AfDs which indicate some evidence of GNG compliance is necessary when the article barely steps over the bright-line of NFOOTY. Vidales played in one cup match in early 2013, and hasn't played in anything approaching a fully-pro league since. That is very consistent with the Scott Sinclair AfD which was closed as delete. Jogurney (talk) 14:42, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You may wish to review your knowledge of the WP:FOOTY Deletion archive, there are numerous instances where it has been acknowledged that an appearance in a cup match between clubs from FPLs is sufficient to satisfy the spirit of NFOOTY.
I kind of get the impression that we're going round in circles, but I am working on the assumption that you do not remember the content of the Scott Sinclair article (career summary here). In that article the player had made a brief NFOOTY-satisfying appearance in 2008. The article was AfD'd in 2013, more than three years after reliable sources indicate his very brief career finished. The article in discussion here is about a player who has played in a country's top cup competition for an FPL team against another FPL team, is still in the early stages of this career and is on loan at another club in the same FPL. The two articles are not comparable.
I also think your comparison with Cosmos Munegabe I think is also wide of the mark. In my view this player, as he played in a full FIFA international, would probably be kept if he went to AfD now as he has played at the highest possible level of football.
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree thought! Fenix down (talk) 15:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I'll agree that this article is within a "gray area" of notability. An article about a player with one appearance in a cup-match between two clubs from fully-pro leagues can satisfy NFOOTY in certain circumstances (although I don't think they're present here). However, setting the notability guidelines aside, we can only write an article about Vidales that indicates he has played with under-17 and under-20 sides and joined a group of reserves in making a 4-minute cameo in a cup-match his club surely didn't take seriously. That doesn't suggest notability to me even if we could find the sources to meet the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 20:38, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
