Raising for Effective Giving[edit]

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

This article was created by Ruairi Donnelly, a blogger for the organization. He has also been the primary contributor. The article has a promotional tone, and the organization doesn't meet the general notability guideline. Most of the sources are from the organization itself.

Comment Concerned that a lot of sources are blog posts and apparent comments in poker forums but will hold back a bit for consideration of any other sources, if they exist. Noted that there's an Aftonbladet article but I don't read the language. Tages-Anzeiger also has what looks like a legit piece. However these may be the only two citations in the article that are not poker blogs, podcasts, individual blogs, SPS or other non-RS. - Brianhe (talk) 02:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to also be an NPR piece and this piece by Bluff Magazine, which is about poker, but looks like an actual magazine and not just a blog. NeatGrey (talk) 04:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is one paragraph by what looks like an actual magazine. This looks like an interview by a German TV channel. I don't speak German, though. NeatGrey (talk) 05:02, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wow. "a community of professionals who aim to have a positive impact on the world", as the lead sentence... wow. I'm tagging this with newsrelease and COI, since those will have to be fixed even if the article is kept. NeatGrey (talk) 04:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although I agree with the concerns about promotional tone (and will try to edit if I have time), the notability seems to be there, especially with the large amount of coverage in mainstream poker news outlets.

Comment Want to notify @Parg14: (because this has been the reasoning behind several deletion requests by you) and readers that notability is not determined by the average citation. Statements like "Most of the sources are from the organization itself" might indicate poor article quality, but not a lack of notability. See "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as the key qualification in WP:GNG Tempo mage (talk) 05:19, 19 April 2016 (UTC) (strike comment by a now-blocked sock per this SPI Jytdog (talk) 11:00, 23 April 2016 (UTC))[reply]
Keep I will make some edits now, I think the organization is sufficiently notable to keep the page. Archie2247 (talk) 07:16, 19 April 2016 (UTC) — Archie2274 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Comment The sources that are substantially about the subject are few, and that's without looking at whether they are RS. There are blog posts and youtube videos, and many references are the organization's own web site. Some of the links to poker sites that I looked at did not mention the charity. It will be hard to assess this unless the article is purged of all of the non-RS, which is the majority of what is here. Otherwise, reviewers have to wade through a lot of cruft to make an assessment. As an example, the entire section called "Representation at 2014..." is about the poker players, not about the charity. That whole section should be removed. Then, an evaluation needs to be done of the remaining sources to see if they can be considered reliable. As an example for that, the Lee Davy articles in calvinayre.com is not under editorial control, as per the disclaimer that follows the article. It would be useful if those advocating !keep would indicate which of the sources they consider to be reliable, so we could narrow down the discussion. The only realistic option I see is TNT once reliable sources are identified. LaMona (talk) 15:03, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and WP:TNT. Agree 100% with LaMona, although it may be notable, this article is unworkable and the best solution for the encyclopedia is to start over. Brianhe (talk) 00:50, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this mess. In the mess of press releases and poker blogs, I don't see anything that looks like a reliable source with non-trivial coverage. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:09, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the original, but give it a serious cleanup. If that doesn't work (and it doesn't seem like anyone has really given it a go), I'll agree to WP:TNT. Adrianrorheim (talk) 23:04, 21 April 2016 (UTC) — Adrianrorheim (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Sorry, but for me this doesn't amount for the kind of rewrite needed. The poker blogs and so forth are just too much. Sticking with my delete !vote. - Brianhe (talk) 02:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article has now been slimmed down to such a degree that it no longer has a promotional feel to it. Have a look and see if anything more needs to be done at this point.

"Few or no other edits"(?)

Osama Krayem[edit]

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

Due to a previous large controversy about merging this article to the Brussels ISIL terror cell article, I have decided to open this to settle the matter once and for all.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Crime-related deletion discussions. BabbaQ (talk) 18:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This guy is a major Swedish-born terrorist, who's going to be in the news for a long time. Just today it was determined he was present at the apartments from where the Paris November 2015 Terror Attacks originated. So this character is an accomplice to at least three separate terror attacks in Paris plus at least two bombings in Brussels. These events span across 2015 and 2016. Plus, his criminal career includes entering Europe via Leros (Greece) as a Syrian asylum refugee. Any deletion is way premature. XavierItzm (talk) 23:22, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The subject may well be notable, but entering Greece with false papers doesn't contribute to that notability. It's a pretty minor crime in comparison to those of which he is suspected. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:40, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per GNG. He is one of the two perpetrators of the 2016 Brussels bombings that are still alive. I believe he is notable as an individual since he has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, especially in Swedish and Belgian media. I don't think he fails WP:BLP1E, since the event is significant and his role in it is both substantial and well documented. Erlbaeko (talk) 16:27, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just managerial babble. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Retain. I would disagree - the term has a specific meaning within public sector research, and is often used in this context but without explaining what it actually is: examples: [[1]], [[2]], [[3]] therefore my reasoning for including this page is it is useful for anyone looking to further explanation or seeking clarification. It is an umbrella term but similarly to how Marketing includes PR, Advertising, Sales Promotion, Brand etc. ReetGoodOnion talk ~~08:14, 19 April 2016 (GMT)~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReetGoodOnion (talk • contribs) 07:17, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Not a dictionary. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]

— Note to closing admin: ReetGoodOnion (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

Comment. The article creator is fairly obviously inexperienced, and I am not at all certain that this is a suitable topic for a standalone page - but the nominator and the one editor so far recommending deletion (neither of whom, I believe, are British) both seem to be missing some important features of the topic (which admittedly have been glossed over or more probably missed by the article creator). I largely tend to agree with User:Xxanthippe that this is managerial babble, but even though I can not recall meeting this particular gem of a phrase before, I am totally convinced by the sources provided that it is managerial babble with significant consequences (when one works in British university administration, one recognises the style). What is happening here is that, for at least a couple of decades, British government policy has been that, beyond a relatively small proportion that goes to pure research topics, government funds for academic research should be aimed at projects with potential commercial applications. The British research councils therefore have policies that make this a condition of most research grants - and one or more research councils have therefore labelled their policy about this as "Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation", British universities and related bodies have chosen to copy the terminology, and they are employing people and/or contracting with companies to ensure that grant proposals are in line with the policy or at least look as if they are. No doubt, in a few years, the relevant research councils will revise the policy and adopt another term for it - and with a lag of a few more years, British universities and the relevant specialists will follow suit. But we have some more or less usable content here - the article looks like a reasonable account, if rather naive and partial, of the current working of the general policy in a sizeable area of British scientific research (something that currently seems to be completely missing from, for instance, Research Funding in the UK and Research Councils UK). Finally, some hopefully friendly advice for User:ReetGoodOnion: if by any chance you are (or ever have been) employed by or closely associated with PraxisUnico, while you are quite welcome (and indeed encouraged) to create Wikipedia articles on topics like this one, your should look at WP:COI and generally avoid mentioning PraxisUnico or recognisably referring to its activities when writing articles. PWilkinson (talk) 23:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although the references use the term, I didn't find that any are about the topic itself. What we have here are the strategies (or marketing promotions) of different organizations that use the term, undoubted, as said above, since the UK government seems to be tying funding to it. Essentially we have research organizations declaring their "commitment to KEC". The link to PraxisUnico is very WP:COATRACK (and the information that it is used to reference would be best taken from a non-promotional source), and since the same editor created both articles I'm afraid that's what this is. I also think that the topic is covered in other articles on Knowledge transfer, Technology transfer, and Public private partnership. It may make sense to add this particular government campaign into one or more of those, but I don't see it having enough new content for a stand-alone article. I don't turn up anything more in searches. LaMona (talk) 03:50, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete at best as this is still questionable for any improvements and Draft at best if needed. SwisterTwister talk 04:02, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nothing at all convincing for the necessary notability improvements. SwisterTwister talk 06:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable. Certainly the article needs improvement but the product is certainly notable. Anybody attaching GPS, phone, tablets, fishfinders, depth indicators etc etc to motorcycles, aircraft cockpits, and to boats, etc etc, very likely will be familiar with Ram Mounts - one of the best known ways of securely attaching portable electronic equipment to vehicles. Please don't delete because the article needs work. Help improve the article.

Delete I agree with what others have said. The products themselves seem to be notable enough for an article, but this is about the company itself, which has been covered by few reliable, independent sources. Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 10:32, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Renominating this article as well as 2015 Galena train derailment for the same reasons as the first AfD. For some reason the first discussion was closed as "no consensus" even though there were 9 votes in favor of deletion or merge including the article creator who changed his vote, and only 2 keeps. The article was instead redirected to List of rail accidents (2010–present)#2015 for almost a year with no objections until one particular user seemed determined to reignite this debate recently. There is also a merge discussion at Talk:List of rail accidents (2010–present)#Merger_Discussion, however the page seems dead. There is no reason this event should have it's own article as both events are already mentioned at List of rail accidents (2010–present)#2015. This event was already considered unnotable last May. Today, no one even remembers this event as it is ancient history.

Delete and merge as per nom. These types of articles are only notable if catastrophic damage had occurred. No deaths and minimal damage in this accident makes it not notable. Nordic Dragon 07:21, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of rail accidents (2010–present)#2015. A merge there could be considered, but there is already a mention here (a small one, but that's all that it warrants). I guess the "no consensus" in spite of the absence of relevant keep !votes was due to the split between "delete" and "merge" recommendations (if deleted, the content and edit history go down the sink).

Redirect as still questionable and unlikely better for its own article. Certainly not seriously needed for deletion, so Redirect. SwisterTwister talk 06:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing wrong with deleting it all together because no one is really searching for it and the article traffic is dismal. https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/#project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-90&pages=2015_Heimdal_train_derailment TL565 (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, WP:NACTOR and WP:NMUSIC. Sources are almost all local entertainment rags, which are more local entertainment calendar than news. Works do not appear charts, and landing a role in a pilot does not establish notability. Being mildly - or even moderately - successful does not make one notable enough for an encyclopedia entry.

Delete appears as a promotional for someone trying to make it in show business. Article was created by a now-banned user, it is constantly being edited by anon-IPs. While a few editors have worked diligently to convert the initial mess of the article into something worthwhile, it might be worthwhile to pull the plug on this WP:TOOSOON and wait for some reasonable level of meeting WP:ENTERTAINER.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Basically entirely a promotion. Not surprising to see the SPI. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 23:12, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It is too soon. There is quite a bit of news coverage. Much of it strikes me as ROUTINE: even though it is written as in-depth coverage, it is written because he's going to be performing a particular show, which qualifies more as an announcement of an event. I'm concerned about independence since the sites promoting it stand to benefit. -- RM 14:54, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Embassy of India, Brussels[edit]

delete the article merely confirms it exists. Otherwise it's actually about foreign relations which is covered in other articles. LibStar (talk) 14:21, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not about a building. The Embassy of India in Brussels serves as India's Embassy to Belgium, Luxembourg, as well as India's Mission to European Union. If there can be article on a Mission like Mission of Canada to the European Union or an article on an Embassy like Embassy of Lithuania, Brussels, then surely the article in question deserves to be there, coz it's an Embassy as well as a Mission.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I beg to differ from u. What you are saying is something like "I will delete the wikipedia article on India, even if all/most other countries have dedicated articles on Wikipedia". There are hundreds of articles on embassies on Wikipedia, so please dont say that articles embassies are often non-notable "buildings", that dont deserve to have articles. In any case, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is there so that garbage articles are not created on minor pretexts, and I donot think that my article is garbage. I believe that the topic (India's Embassy to Belgium, Luxembourg and European Union) is important enough for an article to be created on it. And I think the matter that I've written on this article is decent enough. I've made some changes to the article since u nominated it for deletion. I request u that some other established editor shud be allowed to decide on this matter. Regards. Netstar1 (talk) 15:16, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see where notability has been demonstrated. As already noted, the specified sources fail to do so. Saying "it's important" or "some other embassies have articles" does not show notability. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 00:52, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You guys are using WP:INDAFD to help with verification and notability, right?--Mr. Guye (talk) 02:26, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think embassies are generally speaking notable. News hits come up for them too, e.g. [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. The coverage is all somewhat in passing, but I think there is enough of it that it all adds up to notability SJK (talk) 06:01, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

none of the 5 sources you supply show the Embassy as a subject of the source and thus is not in depth coverage. All the sources are about incidents where the Embassy had commented or been involved as part of their usual role . GNG specifically requires Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail . These sources do not. LibStar (talk) 06:09, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced article with very little content. Don't believe this is notable as the real-life event that it's derived from appears to be a redlink too. CaptRik (talk) 20:15, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While the topic the film deals with is notable (the article's link should go to 1977 Yokohama F-4 crash instead), that is not justification for having an article about this film (per WP:INHERIT). As for the standalone notability of the film, the only sources I could find were websites dealing specially with anime films, which does not constitute the sufficient independent third-party sourcing needed to pass WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. As far as I could tell, it was not widely reviewed by critics, is not historically notable, and has not received any major awards, and is therefore non-notable.

Art Resilience movement[edit]

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

Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. I find no pertinent, independent coverage of this in reliable sources. A Google search returns mostly results with punctuation, at least, between the two words "art" and "resilience", along with a couple of wiki articles, a couple of blog posts, and one event listing. It doesn't strike me that as an artistic movement it's achieved notability. The entire description of the movement is from the perspective of the participants' motivations behind it rather than in terms of any objective explanation of what it is. (Frankly, I'm not even certain that Ksenia Milicevic is notable, based on how little Google returns for her name, but I haven't run a full study on that.) —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I found this article via a Pushipedia alert, it finds articles with unusually high levels of editing.

Promotionalism can be dealt with. If his background in electronic health records isn't enough for notability then clearly this should be deleted.

Weak Keep: I'm not convinced of a failure to meet WP:GNG. A quick search brought up lots of articles from a couple of sites, quite a few interviews, as well as some more mainstream coverage in non-celebrity focused sources (more: [18] [19] [20]). I think this is a case where he is a bigger deal in Lithuania than in English-speaking countries, so anglophones are naturally biased (by the lacks of English refs). With that amount of coverage (I have taken a maximum of one article from each source, and have excluded things that look like simple DBs), it looks to me like he passes WP:GNG. (Granted, the article needs some work!) — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 20:23, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I maintain that notability in Lithuanian doesn't confer notability in English - otherwise we'd need stub articles for this subject in Urdu, Faroese and Cantonese as well. Dkendr (talk) 16:53, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That opinion has no support in Wikipedia policy or guidelines. See WP:RSUE, which only deprecates non-English sources when English sources of equal quality and relevance are available. If such sources are not available then non-English sources are perfectly acceptable. This is an encyclopedia of the whole universe that happens to be written in English, not an encyclopedia of only the Anglophone world. The Urdu, Faroese and Cantonese Wikipedias set their own guidelines for article inclusion, so may or may not wish to have an article on this subject. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:39, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And we are talking about my opinion and what informs my opinions in AfD discussions. My vote on these subjects is not subject to disqualification or revocation because it's not founded on official doctrine. It only means that it can't be used as a justification for a unilateral action. Dkendr (talk) 19:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to change the whole nature of English Wikipedia so that it becomes only an encyclopedia of the Anglophone world then you need to propose a change to policy rather than just express an opinion at a deletion discussion. These discussions are held to decide whether article subjects conform to our current policies, not the dumbed-down policy that you are proposing. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:30, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not have a rule that our sources must be in English — as long as our article is in English, the sources can be in any language so long as there are Wikipedia contributors who have the ability to read and translate it if needed. We can't stop you from having opinions, true — but if your opinion contravenes Wikipedia policy, then policy wins and your opinion carries zero weight.

Don't Delete I am revising this article because this person is important to Sri Vaishnavam. Miffedmess (talk) 20:06, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google books and scholar return many results for "Periya Nambi" or "Perianambi" and even more for "Mahapurna". So far the best source I have found is a book called The Complete Works of Swami Ramakrishnananda, Volume 2 which in section 2 "Life of Sri Ramanuja" has many mentions of "Mahapurna". These are sources in English. Yet my understanding is, the best sources on the topic would not be in English. Anyway, for a person who died roughly 1,000 years ago, I find this rather impressive. Clearly notable. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 20:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: That book is published by lulu.com, a known WP:SPS and non-WP:RS. See admin Utcursch note here. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:44, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you clarify this please? I would assume this is neither the only, neither the first edition of Swami Ramakrishnananda's Life of Sri Ramanuja, a book which I imagine is in the public domain. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 09:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Biwom: Please check your assumption. I read a few pages of the lulu.com version yesterday. It read like some hagiography (a genre of mostly fiction, some facts found in Indian and non-Indian religions, often written decades or hundreds of years after the scholar's death, where we find allegations such as babies being born out of the palm of a woman post immaculate conception and sun rising in the west or north on the birthday, because it was a special day. etc). I agree with admin @Utcursch; we should keep away from lulu.com and other WP:SPS in wikipedia. The burden of WP:RS is on the person who wishes to add content. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 15:06, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have checked my assumptions and found them to be correct... Nevertheless, I agree 100% with you that this book is, quite literally, a hagiography. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 19:59, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Very little is known about Peri Nambi, also known as Mahapurna, except for inconsistent mentions of his name in a few hagiography of Sri Vaishnavism. He does not meet WP:Notability, and is at best just shy of being a borderline case. Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and particularly, the wiki guideline, "Genealogical entries. (...) Less well known people may be mentioned within other articles", I lean towards delete vote. FWIW, I have already mentioned Mahapurna in the Ramanuja article, quite a while ago.

Vaidyanathan Ramaswami[edit]

I spent some time cleaning up this aticle, and now that is is clean, it is very thin indeed. After removing links to his daughter's bio, text about where his successful kids work, and lot of peacock language, all that is left are a few industry and academic awards. All in all, I'm thinking he does not meet notability requirements. Note that he was an academic for four years, followed by being a Bell labs researcher, and is now an industry researcher.

CommentXxanthippe, just a note to say that WP:Prof#C1 specifically says that h-indexes are of "limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied", and that "They should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted..." HappyValleyEditor (talk) 08:23, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. The subject has authored a number of highly-cited works, so I think WP:PROF#C1 applies. However, the entire article is uncited WP:RESUME. With the exception of the "Distinguished Alumni Award" from Purdue, none of the article is referenced to reliable secondary sources. It seems like a rather absurd suggestion to reduce the article to the BLP-complaint single sentence: "In 2011, Vaidyanathan Ramaswami was named a Distinguished Science Alumnus by Purdue University".

Weak delete. I think he does pass WP:PROF#C1 (fwiw, it was a little tricky to get a Google scholar search that would list all his pubs and not be confused with other people with similar names — here's what I used). The problem is that other than the alumni award we have essentially no sources. I can find enough online to convince myself that the basic facts of his education and employment history are valid, but they're low-quality sources and provide no other details.

*Comment / Move to draft - I myself, am not a fan for deletion. This article does need much work for it to be suitable for the main-space, and needs to have the formatting fixed and references fixed, with additional references. Instead of deletion, how about moving it into draft stage, and having the user submit it via AfC? If it is not majority agreed on to move it to draft stage, I would say delete. Cheers, and best of luck. CookieMonster755 ^(talk) 18:48, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment given the original condition of the article (Bloated with details on his children's successes, COI and POV problems), I don't see how working with the user would help any. Check especially the low-quality references used by the article creator. The life section use to have this text, replete with references for the kids' biographies: "Their immediate family members are: daughter Dr. Priya Baraniak (Rooster Bio Inc.), son Prem Ramaswami (Google), son-in-law Dr. Andrew Baraniak (Independent Patent Agent) and daughter-in-law Shruti Ramaswami (TechSoup). The Ramaswamis have three grandchildren: Kiran, Sahana and Veer-Krishna." I think this is likely an attempt by the children or a friend to memorialize the article subject's career.

Kickboxer with no significant independent coverage so the GNG is not met. Results reporting is just routine sports coverage and doesn't show notability. Fails to meet the notability standards for kickboxers (WP:NKICK) since he has never fought for a world title of a major organization and never been ranked in the world top 10.

Keep Based on many of the Kickboxers that are listedList of male kickboxers his wikipedia page should be kept as he has more notoriety than 45 to 50% of those Kicknoxers. There are links to references that are not just fight results including a Kickboxing magazine article. As someone who reports on the sport of Kickboxing for a living he is definitely one of the top fighters in the super lightweight division. If you look at reference 1 he is currently ranked 15 on the official WBC website. Before his recent 1-2 run he was ranked number 10 in the world which qualifies him. There are also references that are not just results. Strikingfan (talk) 07:54, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Those who support keeping the article should provide evidence that he meets the kickboxer notability criteria at WP:NKICK. So far no evidence has been presented and my search didn't find anything. The only non-results source provided is to an article that lists possible North American fighters "to lead the next generation" and gives only a few sentences about each. That would seem to mark him as a prospect and not yet notable as well as insufficient coverage to be considered significant. GNG requires several reliable sources showing significant independent coverage, not routine sports reporting. Claims that he's better than other fighters who have articles is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and appears to be more WP:ILIKEIT. Papaursa (talk) 20:43, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia does not keep an article just because brand new editors come along to assert that the topic has fame and notability — we keep or delete articles based on whether or not reliable source coverage explicitly shows that the person has passed an objective notability criterion. Nothing here shows that, however. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he actually achieves something that clears the bar, but it's reliable source coverage, which verifies an objective WP:NKICK pass, or bust.

From what I can tell, only two or three of those articles have any information at all about Forward in Faith in North America. They seem to both consist of a single sentence. Not sure that's substantial coverage. The redlinks you fear are two or three mainspace articles that have a "See also" at the end of the page.

DGG ( talk ) 19:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- To editor DGG: The criterion in WP:NBOOK I think you're trying to use says: "The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture..." 1. This book did not exist at the time the movie was made, and so cannot be said to have had any contribution toward it; 2. Nothing here even comes close to a reliable source; and 3. The film is a work of fiction, considered by the Writers Guild of America to be based on an "original story and screenplay" by someone with no association to this book. The claim by this author that he is the subject of the film is therefore extremely tenuous. Alone, any one of points 1, 2, or 3 would completely sink your argument; all three are true. I get that you're a retentionist, but by the guidelines, you've got an awfully weak case here. —swpb^T 20:20, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can't really find anything to show that this book is notable or that the claims in it are ultimately true. I kind of get the impression that this was likely self-published via a vanity publisher, which would explain why it's not listed on any of the regular websites like Amazon, who will sell anything as long as it's submitted in some format. Now as far as the film claims go, that's a bit difficult since there's also a lack of reliable sources that actually back up the claim that G. Money is the basis for the character "Gerald "Gee Money" Wells". It might be that he's telling the truth or it could be that he's someone who either named himself this after the fact or believes that the character is based on him. Without some sort of confirmation in a reliable source (newspaper, DVD commentary, etc) we have to err on the side of caution and assume that he's likely not the basis of the character. I did try to find sources and it was admittedly difficult because of so many false positives, but so far the only thing that has been confirmed is that the Chambers Brothers (gang) was a source of inspiration for the film. There's already a draft at Draft:The Chronicles of the New Jack Era, so the best outcome here would be to let the editor continue to work on finding sources and add them to the draft. Offhand this is the type of thing that'd be best served as a one sentence mention in the main article for the film, since the gist of this could be summed up fairly quickly. However before we can do that, we have to confirm that his claims are legit - and so far all we have are interviews in non-mainstream sources that wouldn't be considered RS per Wikipedia's fairly stringent guidelines for sources.

The article of Mohammed bagheri has been deleted a Speedy in Arbic Wiki see here by Arabic Manager سامي الرحيلي (Sa:mi: Arræ'hi:li:) due to he is not important in compare to following:
In particular, individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they:

Were awarded their nation's highest award for valour;^[1] or
Were awarded their nation's second-highest award for valour (such as the Navy Cross) multiple times; or
Held a rank considered to be a flag, general or air officer, or their historical equivalents; or
Held the top-level military command position of their nation's armed forces (such as Chief of the General Staff), or of a department thereof (such as Chief of Army Staff); or
Played an important role in a significant military event; or
Commanded a substantial body of troops in combat; or
Made a material contribution to military science that is indisputably attributed to them; or
Were the undisputed inventor of a form of military technology which significantly changed the nature of or conduct of war; or
Were recognized by their peers as an authoritative source on military matters/writing.

^ Some awards, such as the Légion d'Honneur, are/were bestowed in different grades and/or have civil and military versions. For the purpose of this notability guide only the highest military grade of such awards qualifies. (Discussion regarding awards with multiple grades)

Comment - Reza Amper a couple of points. The deletion of an article on another language Wikipedia means nothing here. Each Wikipedia language is independent and have their one rules. Next the part you quote above is from the English Wikipedia (here) not the Arabic Wikipedia so the article there was probably not deleted based on our notability guideline. If they did use our notability guideline, they misused it as he clearly passes point #3 in your list as he is a Major General and according to that article "major general is the highest available rank for current Iranian commanders." -- GB fan 12:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You don't think what? That "major general is the highest available rank for current Iranian commanders."? That he clearly passes point #3 in the list you posted above? If it is the first one, the article major general needs to be fixed, but what the highest rank is does not make that much difference. If it is the second one, we have a very big difference of opinion as he is a general officer. -- GB fan 13:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Currently in Iran major general is highest military rank and all Iranian chiefs are major general such as: Mohammad Ali Jafari (commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps), Ataollah Salehi (commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army), and Hassan Firouzabadi (Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces). Therefore, he has highest rank and confirm WP:SOLDIER #3. Also, in this source introduced him as a member of IRGC command network. In another words, Bagheri along with three other commanders take critical and important decisions and were participated in the several battles in the Iran-Iraq war (WP:SOLDIER #5).Saff V.

Comment The article contributor User:Reddgroom might be interested to know that articles about firefighting memorials/monuments are allowed. Perhaps this could be moved/renamed to be about a Cal Fire memorial? See Category:Firefighting memorials. --do ncr am 19:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep although move probably to California Firefighters Memorial, and revise accordingly. The CFM sits on state Capitol grounds, includes sculptures and a memorial wall, was created in 1990s, cost $2 million, and there are numerous sources about it. An article about it can certainly include external link to list of fallen firefighters. See Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. do ncr am 19:51, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Funds were raised by a special license plate and also I think by a check-off box on the California state income tax form, and for these there were various state legislative bills. So there exists extensive coverage of its creation. I hope/assume refocusing article this way would be accepted by article creator and it certainly would be nicer than outright deletion. --do ncr am 20:01, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is neither a web host nor a memorial. Article content seems barely relevant to the Memorial itself; I do not see a move as appropriate.

Meaning no disrespect, I am selectively picking up on your point that a Memorial article could be created using the existing article with its edit history, and going ahead with that sooner rather than later (see Comment, next). Thank you for your view, which is constructive also. --do ncr am 18:48, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Rather than debate the merits of deleting this then restoring it to revise into a refocused article, vs. moving this article, I have just wp:BOLDly gone ahead and moved/renamed the article. It is unusual but allowed to move an article during an AFD. Given no support so far for keeping the article as it was, I think this is helpful in saving the contribution, and in saving our time. If the AFD concludes that the article should be saved in its original form, it can be moved back and restored to a previous version. --do ncr am 18:48, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Taste Over Internet Protocol[edit]

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

This seems to me like a work in progress and perhaps not suitable for inclusion at this time. Since the idea was novel, it looks like it got a sudden burst of media coverage. But since then, nothing much seems to have happened. Google scholar yields only 1 result. (A newscientist article). In addition, the title of the article "Taste Over Internet Protocol", is something which seems to be derived from media reports, since IETF doesn't seem to have this (or any similarly named) protocol on record.

Duende Literary[edit]

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

Non-notable, relatively new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources apart from a review in a blog (not a reliable source) and a brief mention in a list on Blavity (not clear whether that is a reliable source, but in any case, just a list, no in-depth coverage). Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 06:12, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I'm not finding any independent and reliable sources that would make it meet WP:GNG or any indication that it meets [WP:NJournals]]. Found a few republished press releases, but no in depth coverage. the blog mentioned above does have an in-depth review, but doesn't constitute a RS, as it is self-published. — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 10:10, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is a new journal with more limited notability than some, however I believe that it still meets the basic requirements for a stub. My reasoning is centered around the addition of another literary magazine / Folia to Wikipedia's list of literary magazines, which doesn't appear to have any more significant sources that what's provided here. As another point, Duende has additional notability due to its most recent issue, which published an essay by Mumia Abu-Jamal - one that had been previously published. LockedHalo (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm sorry, but arguments using WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS don't really count. And it's not all that important what Duende publishes, it's what others publish about Duende that counts. Reprintiong an almost 2à-years-old essay really is not that big of a feat... --Randykitty (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It does however provide an additional source of notability, at least within some margin. Apologies for not handling my point regarding Folio correctly - I did take that article's level of notability as a general guideline for what would be considered acceptable notability in this specific case as well, assuming that there was some sort of general rubric in place for what meets or doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion in the wiki - this is obviously my failing as someone new to wikipedia editing. Jumping back to my earlier point though, I believe that the inclusion of said essay and the Duotrope listing both amount to credible sources for notability in this case, with an argument to be made for keeping the page a stub until more sources appear available. If not, no biggie. Can this be added to my userspace if it does get denied, so I can tinker with it on my own? LockedHalo (talk) 03:44, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The closing admin can certainly "userfy" this if the decision would be to delete the article. --Randykitty (talk) 09:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No better sourcing found. Since the name of the magazine is apparently simply Duende rather than Duende Literary, suggest moving to "Duende (journal)" or some other reasonable disambiguation if the article is kept. --Finngall ^talk 17:57, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of people born in 1990[edit]

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

Every entry requires a reliable source attesting to the fact that the named person is a member of the listed group (WP:NLIST). A "complete" list will contain over 13,000 entries which is unattainable and will leave the list incomplete. This "seemed like a good idea" without realistic scoping of the content.

Comment. Lists cannot be redundant to categories, and potential size is an argument for splitting when the time comes, not deletion. But it does appear to be redundant to 1990#Births, which AFAIK is the standard way of listing births by year.

Merge to 1990 § Births, which presently does not have some of the entries in the list. This will improve the merge target article, per WP:PRESERVE. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:47, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just delete it -- The category is automatically populated by adding a birth year category. The list in the year article is broken down by date of birth, thus adding data not provided by the category. An alphabetic list of births, will need regular maintenance to prevent it lagging a long way behind the category. A normal style merger is not a good idea because the content would need to be distributed by the actual birthdate to integrate it properly. I am not saying that should not be done, but it will be a lot of work. This article is a mere stub. Its creator would be better employed doing that than expanding this article. Most of the annual birth categories from 1946 to the early 1990s have over 10,000 articles; fewer thousands before and after. In all cases this is too many for a useful list article. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:22, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The category for 1990 births already has over 13,000 entries, and very few people born that year are yet notable in academics, politics or business, and many more born that year will probably become notable in the creative arts.

The only available source — an article from a local newspaper — is about a small town in Sicily where he was the mayor for five years. "Entrepreneur."

Unelected candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article independently of the candidacy, then he has to win the seat, not just run for it, to become eligible. But nothing here gets him over the bar — the most substantive thing here is that he served as mayor of a town that is not large enough to confer automatic notability-because-mayor on all of its mayors, and the sourcing is not substantive enough to satisfy WP:GNG.

Keep A Google Books search and a standard Google search produces many high quality hits that verify that this Mexican physician held high governmental and professional society positions during his long and distinguished career. Using the word "puffery" to describe an article about such a person who was born in 1909 is not appropriate. Far better to spend a few minutes adding a couple of references to the article than to try to delete it. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have began to add sources. Sadly this significant doctor is not as well remembered today as he ought to be, especially in the English-speaking world. It is not a puff piece when the truth is stated. Leon was the leading expert in Mexican public health circles in the mid-20th century.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment One thing that is not clear from the article is if Leon was secretary of health of Mexico, or held a lower position within the Secretariate of Health. Our article on that says it dates back to 1938, but only provides a list of secretaries since about 1982.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I agree that his appointment to a ministerial position would tend to make me agree that he's notable. I notice that there is no banner on the article asking for further references.

Voltage-gated ion channel (VIC) family[edit]

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

This page is redundant with the existing page Voltage-gated ion channel. It is basically a copy of an external web page that is CC By-SA3, and seems to be promoting that website. Although the protein classification scheme that is the main point of the page is sourced, there are other recognized bases for classification, and no reliably sourced reason to give this one special prominence here. The main points of the page are already covered at Voltage-gated ion channel#Nomenclature, with, if anything, more than enough due weight. I have already merged all the material that is worth merging into the existing page: [40]. The page name is not useful as a redirect, and I already edited the VIC dab page for the abbreviation: [41]. Beyond that, I do not see anything else worth saving, and there is no point in keeping a content fork. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and possibly merge. Make this page a redirect to Voltage-gated ion channel, but keep edit history, just in case to allow merging of content if needed. Content of this page should be probably merged to Voltage-gated ion channel rather than outright deleted, because some parts of this page are written in a different and more professional way than "Voltage-gated ion channel". No wander because it was mostly taken from the corresponding Transporter Classification Database entry. This is probably the only database that provides annotated classification of transmembrane transporters. Everything seems to be OK with copyright [42]. Use of TCDB here should be encouraged. My very best wishes (talk) 01:33, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your good intentions here, but please note that I already merged content. As for being written in a "more professional way", please realize that it is not in any way a survey of the topic, but rather, a somewhat promotional representation of a classification scheme that has been put forward by a single laboratory group, that has yet to be taken up by independent secondary sources. Here are PubMed hits for "voltage-gated ion channel": over 18,000 hits. Now, here are the results for "VIC superfamily": 72 hits, all of which appear to be mismatches: search for exact phrase. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at our page on Transporter Classification Database, and it's sourced entirely to a single group of authors. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, here are the PubMed results for "Transporter Classification Database": only 16 hits, of which only 4 are independent of the lab that publishes the website. That is a disturbingly low rate of citation by independent scholars. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:06, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~How about making this page a redirect to Voltage-gated ion channel, but keeping edit history, just in case to allow merging of content if needed?~~ Speaking about TCDB, the real question is not notability (yes, it is well known within its narrow scientific field), but if the summaries of TCDB entries should be regarded as WP:RS or as something self-published. As someone who at least occasionally uses TCDB, I believe this is is definitely an WP:RS based on quality of the annotations. My very best wishes (talk) 05:08, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for such a thoughtful reconsideration after my reply. I'm open to a redirect, and also open to preserving the edit history. As for the redirect, typing the beginning of this page name into "search" will immediately bring up the target page name, because they are very similar. The one part of the page name that is potentially useful as a redirect is the "VIC" abbreviation, and, as I noted above, I have already added it to the VIC disambiguation page, and it needs to be disambiguation because of the many other uses of that abbreviation. As for the edit history, when (again, as linked above) I merged what I could of the content, I attributed the source page in the edit summary, which satisfies the formal requirement. Beyond that, administrators can (or is it crats?) do things with merging page histories that I confess I do not fully understand, but perhaps the admin who closes this AfD could take a look at doing that. Another option would be to keep the page in user space rather than in main space. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:06, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tryptofish If you'd like to merge the VIC family page with the the general voltage-gated ion channel page, I think the VIC family deserves to be distinguished. Perhaps making a seperate section that describes the VIC family. I want to point out that not all voltage-gated ion channels fall under the Voltage-gated ion channel superfamily or family, thus part of my reasoning for making the family page a entity. So far, it appears as though there has been no further merger of information from the VIC family page to the general voltage-gated ion channel page, contrary to your initial assertion. In fact, I noticed that you reverted several edits I made to [43], including content related, spelling, and grammatical errors I corrected. For example, "Upon depolarization, the positively-charged residues on the S4 domains toward the exoplasmic surface of the membrane." is not a complete sentence, and "exracellular" needs a "T", etc.. This revert included changing a correction I made to distinguish the VIC superfamily from the VIC family, where TC# 1.A.1, the most important of the families under the VIC superfamily should have been included in the list. It seems as though you may be confused about the phylogeny of the VIC superfamily. As mentioned in the VIC family (the one recommended for deletion here), the current VIC family (formerly called the VIC superfamily, due to the subfamilies that fall under it) now falls under an expanded superfamily, the VIC superfamily, that includes families 1.A.1,3,4,5,10,17, 2.A.36, 2.A.38. However, I don't want to stand in the way If it is the consensus that the pages be merged. Still, I do believe that the original page ([44]) would then need to be updated and have a section dedicated to the VIC family, as is the case with all other families that fall under the VIC superfamily. User:Transporter Guy (Chat) 22:37, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which exactly voltage-gated ion channels that do not belong to the Voltage-gated ion channel superfamily are you talking about? Obviously, many other channels will depend on TM potential (for example Mechanosensitive channels), but I thought that Voltage-gated ion channel page was specifically about proteins that belong to VIC superfamily.

Given that is is purported to be "recommended by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology", I found the IUBMB's website listing their recommendations: [45]. I cannot find TCDB there. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:40, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and re-create as a redirect. Like many pages copied from the Transporter Classification Database by this editor, this contains copyright violations from the cited sources. I've now blanked it and listed it at WP:CP. I've also asked the editor not to add any more content from that source until this situation is completely clarified and consensus reached on whether or not he should do so. The editor should also have declared here that he represents or manages the database, and so has a conflict of interest. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and fix a couple of minor copyright problems. This page seem to represent a legitimate, informative and well sourced sub-page of Voltage-gated ion channel and should be included as such (right now this is not clear, hence the misunderstanding). This page, Voltage-gated ion channel (VIC) family is about a smaller family of Voltage-gated ion channels, whereas page Voltage-gated ion channel is about a much larger protein superfamily also called by the same name. Actually, the misunderstanding probably comes from the underlying TCDB classification, where 1.A.1. is called "superfamily" instead of "family" [46] and it was described in the database as a superfamily [47] (!?). This is actually a family that supposed to be described on this page. Unfortunately, TCDB does not include descriptions/summaries for superfamilies. Hence the description of superfamily was placed to a family entry 1.A.1. leading to confusion here. My very best wishes (talk) 13:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to make a general comment here instead of trying to respond individually to each comment above. A careful reading of the source material will show that VIC is neither a subgroup of the voltage-gated ion channels, nor are the latter a subgroup of VIC, regardless of what some other editors have said. VIC appears to include some molecules that are voltage-gated ion channels, as well as some transporters and the like that are not ion channels at all. In any case, it is a classification system that comes up in PubMed searches in only 4 scholarly papers that are independent of the lab that maintains the website (cf over 18,000 about voltage-gated ion channels). It is not notable for Wikipedia's purposes. Given that it has now emerged that the external website contains copyright violations (regardless of its stated licensing), it is no longer appropriate to retain the edit history here. And beyond the already existing dab page at VIC, there is no reason to have a redirect. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Due to the copyvio concerns, I just deleted the Nomeclature section at Voltage-gated ion channel. As for the material that I merged earlier to another section, I was very careful about rewording everything in my own words when I did it. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:11, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Tryptofish. I wasn't going to raise that possible issue until someone other than me had reviewed the listing at WP:CP (which unfortunately is seriously under-manned at the moment) or the nominated page was deleted. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:02, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sal now prefers to go by Selema Masekela, his given name. He reverted to Selema in 2016, and all current projects reflect this. It is more appropriate to delete "Sal Masekela", migrate that page's information to a new page under "Selema Masekela", and make "Sal Masekela" redirect to this page. (VICE World of Sports page, referring to "Selema Masekela" (3/31/16) - https://sports.vice.com/en_us/topic/selema-masekela), (Selema is a partner at UXE Entertainment - current news item on UXE official website referring to him as "Selema Masekela" (4/1/16) - http://www.uxentertainment.com/voice/2016/4/1/selema-masekelas-new-show-on-vice) Soundofair (talk) 00:36, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but move to another name as requested. But why the hell are you requesting this through Articles for Deletion? I don't mean to attack you, but requesting a rename for the article and a redirect as well is NOT for AFD, Afd is for requesting articles to actually be DELETED. editorEهեইдအ😎 00:45, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Probably because I didn't know that was an option. Nothing to get pissy about. Yes - please set "Selema Masekela" as the main page, "Sal Masekela" as the redirect to that page, and explain how I should have done this so I can contribute more efficiently in the future.

Previously a contested CSD. The sources, apart from they are poorly placed. The National Geographic sources are from the WP:COI user himself who is also the article creator, another is a Blogspot, India Today is merely a passing mention of the subject. The Bangor University source is 404. Other than that, there is only one legitimate source, that of Times of India regarding an award and the other is an official site for the award. Is it me or is it that this is scrapes through WP:GNG or just fails it, not helped is the COI nature of the article and ~~a 47.6% copyvio~~. Donnie Park (talk) 00:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Donnie Park: That copyvio is erroneous - it is them copying from here not the other way round (WP:BACKWARDSCOPY). SmartSE (talk) 20:19, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable, little coverage. VanEman (talk) 17:03, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the subject is certainly close to being notable but I think we need more sources. I did find more coverage of the award, a story about nature walks and many mentions e.g. [48] but I don't think these are quite enough to satisfy WP:BIO and the award is not sufficiently recognised to satisfy WP:ACADEMIC #3.
