Clearly fails WP:GNG. I couldn't find any reliable secondary sources to establish this person (as well as the 'Quest Crew Style' group) as notable at all. Also fails WP:BAND and WP:ENT.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:GNGACTOR. Sources in article are all self-published. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:23, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources in articles are not self publishes. All links and sources have proof tracks. IMDB does not allow anything on there website without it being researched and having the departments of the films contacted to prove accuracy. Date of birth and name has also been provided via wokocommons photo of birth certificate, social media links has been referenced under references, filmography has been directly taken from IMDB Biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanna Mania300 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Comment - Please read WP:UGC - IMDB is specifically mentioned as an example of an unreliable source. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, IMDB references may be deleted from references, contacting the relevant film departments may help?, Social media status proof has also been provided, so has full birth details included, date of birth, full legal name, and birth place, Theatre school link has also been provided. If a problem then an email to the theatre school website to prove his relevant training there can be used if needing further proof. Public interview references and modelling line links have also been provided — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanna Mania300 (talk • contribs) 22:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I posted the following comment on the Talk page of your article: "The nomination was based on a failure to meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines (WP:GNG and WP:GNGACTOR). The sources you have provided are not considered "reliable" - I suggest you read Wikipedia's guide to Identifying Reliable Sources (located here) - if you are unable to provide sources that meet these guidelines, that is usually a good indication that the subject of an article is not considered Notable. Please note that I have personally attempted to find reliable sources (not Self-Published sources such as Facebook, IMDB etc.) for this article and failed, leading to this nomination." Exemplo347 (talk) 22:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - so many references for social media and very little of any worth in establishing notability. It feels as though maybe notability should be there, but searches reveal nothing more. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 22:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, sources provided in the article are mostly social media, and I was unable to find any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to pass the GNG benchmark. GAB^gab 22:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The number of sources that aren't social media related is greater than the ones which are. Basic examples repeatedly given are the persons proof of age, name and birth also I apologize as I am accidently deleting things as I'm new to wipedia talk, further discussion of evidence is basic proof contact of the theatre school, film departments etc which can all be contacted in relations of providing proof, this artist is not supremely famous but this is a fact page not a page ranking on popularity, hence why further links and references aren't provided, LINKED IN has been provided so has public interviews all provided, basic investigations had been done myskef before moving the article to the live page, DIRECT LINKS to contactable pages has been provided making it valid for the reviewer to use the email addresses associated with the article references links to contact. -Also adding on , if the reviewer agrees to edit the article based on what they have researched and departments that they have contacted then I will agree for the article to be kept by edited by the reviewer to finish of accuracy if accuracy is seen as not finished — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanna Mania300 (talk • contribs) 22:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have examined every single source in this article. None of them are Independent, Reliable Sources Exemplo347 (talk) 22:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, a reliable source added was the person drama acadamy website, an article of him in a public interview, wikicommons photographic evidence of his proof of birth, age and nationality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanna Mania300 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you examined WP:RS like I suggested? (Also, please stop adding "Keep" to every single one of your comments - it's destroying the layout of the discussion) Exemplo347 (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:GNG. My search found no secondary reliable sources that are independent of the subject and that cover the article subject primarily. The only sources found do not qualify as references to establish GNG, and the article contains none either. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:50, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.180.44 (talk) 23:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC) I have searched the name up, it looks like its probably the excess of fame that is regarding notabilty, what the article speaks of looks to have confirmation through the other eferenced links to be honest so there is a fair point on that, however looking at the film credits it looks like they range from medium sized roles to small roles, which again looks as though its the lack of excess work that brings the page into deletion discussion. But its a fair point that the article does speak from a fair point of view that only regards facts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.180.44 (talk) 23:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Delete Zero notability per WP:NACTOR: no significant roles in any of the shows listed (even IMDb says "extra" for most of the roles). No reliable sources found to satisfy WP:GNG. Just another extra trying to market himself. clpo13_(talk) 23:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep Yep agreed, his Imdb has about 4 extra roles, but looking at the dates, they seem to fall behind the main actor role he had on one of his credits, its looking like the extra roles were from previous years and the lead roles are modern. Also wikepedia rules clearly state that an article must not be reviewed on the fame of a person but the hard facts provided. Im confused as we have both read the imdb site but i have managed to read it properly and gain the correct facts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.180.44 (talk) 23:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC) [reply]

2002–03 Hereford United F.C. season[edit]

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

As per the decisions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016–17 Woking F.C. season, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009–10 Grays Athletic F.C. season and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016–17 Torquay United F.C. season, articles for teams playing in a non-fully professional league have been deleted as non-notbale, unless they otherwise pass the general notability guidelines. None of these Hereford or Dagenham and Redbridge seasons appear to do so - note in particular that under reliable source policy, notability needs to be shown beyond general news reporting - none these articles show this. Note that I have listed these as what I consider to be 'low-hanging fruit' - there is a separate discussion to be had for articles on seasons in which these clubs won promotion. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 09:54, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they cover the Conference National seasons with articles for these two clubs, excluding the years in which they got promoted:

Delete all. There is longstanding consensus at AfD that only clubs that play in a WP:FPL get season articles per WP:NSEASONS. All these articles fail WP:NSEASONS as well as WP:GNG. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:07, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all. There is longstanding discussion at AfD that professional clubs that play in nation-wide professional league get season articles per WP:NSEASONS. All these articles pass WP:NSEASONS. In addition in the recent decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010–11 AFC Wimbledon season the bundling of different teams in the same discussion created issues, and there appears to be some consensus that they should be treated separately (1 discussion for Hereford, one more for Dagenham). Nfitz (talk) 22:57, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to bundling - that wasn't a consensus, that was a closer's comments. This is very different from 2010-11 AFC Wimb: that bundled 11 clubs together, this bundles 2, with articles from a few seasons, of clubs in similar situations. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per the aforementioned consensus (see these previous AfDs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). Nfitz is well aware of this consensus as he has been involved in several of the debates, but unfortunately chooses to lie and mislead other editors with claims like those made above. Number 5 7 23:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lie? No lie's here. Perhaps an error, and if so I'll apologize; but that's not a lie. But violating WP:AGF is a far worse WikiSin. Please apologize for violating one of the basic tenents of the project. Nfitz (talk) 23:17, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Re-read and made minor edit to previous comment. Sorry, rushing too fast. I'm far more disturbed by the quick rush to WP:AGF! I'm going to have to go to WP:ANI if that continues. Nfitz (talk) 23:25, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The reworded claim makes no sense, but the claim that they pass NSEASONS remains untrue as shown by the list of cited AfDs. And as I've told you several times previously in other discussions, any GF you had was lost several years ago when you started behaving problematically around football-related deletion (some background here). You do not start with a clean track record any time a new discussion starts – given your track record, I do not believe for one second that it wasn't a deliberate error or attempt to mislead other participants or the closing admin. Number 5 7 07:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that Neither @Number 57: nor @Nfitz: make any further posts on this page? You've both made your points. This isn't a call for a ban - you can both chose to ignore me if you want, but it's more of a friendly request

I'd said I'd stay out of this, but I realise, I've left this comment unaddressed. My comment is clear, there are some old discussions, including at AFD, where the assumption was that the cut-off was the 5th tier not the 4th tier. WP:NSEASONS simply says Articles can be created on individual seasons of teams in top professional leagues. Is this league professional - yes. Is it a top league - yes, it's national. The article meets WP:NSEASONS. Perhaps my earlier statement didn't fully sum up my thoughts. Nfitz (talk) 03:19, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The question for other editors is to decide whether there is an inherent notability of season articles for professional clubs in the Conference (now 'National League) of English football, which is a non-fully professional fifth tier league. My belief, given previous approaches on Wikipedia, is that they're not, unless they otherwise meat the general notability guidelines. Nfitz clearly believes that they are. Let's let more editors respond. I follow up by suggesting that whatever the outcome, we should go to both or either WP:NSEASONS or Wikipedia:WikiProject Football to establish a clearer consensus. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:24, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all, dealing with this is getting extremely tedious. Number 5 7 11:17, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I'll stay out of the discussion as well, if N57 does as well. I'm tired of dealing with editors who should have been banned years ago, for frequently violating WP:AGF. I've never in my life tried to deceive or mislead other participants or the closing admin! I'm shocked that another editor would follow a WP:AGF violation with a WP:AGF violation! Nfitz (talk) 16:56, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, could you explain your logic as to why Hereford's is up for nomination as oppose to Gateshead, AFC Wimbledon and Newport County of the same season - who were all playing levels below? I really don't understand the selective nature of this AfD. And let's avoid using lazy cop outs like WP:OTHERSTUFF. --Jimbo^[online] 21:14, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010–11 AFC Wimbledon season, there is precedent for season articles to be discussed individually. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimbo online: and @Mattythewhite: - please note your two comments together! I chose these articles as a compromise between flooding the AfD with debates (and/or the rather slow process of listing all articles seperatly) and the suggestion at the AFC Wimbledon debate that we don't combine too many together. I didn't read the closing admin's comments as a suggestion that all future seasons should be listed separately (perhaps @Deryck Chan: might like to comment if that was his intention); rather, his closure was a comment on that specific listing, but also a warning against listing too many articles together. I chose these seasons quite deliberately as both D&R and Hereford are clubs who have competed in the Football League since promotion from the Conference, and were fully professional for these seasons: this was a clear point of contention at the AFC Wimbledon debate. I saw the clubs and seasons listed as roughly comparable, and they cover a similar timeframe. I note that no-one so far has made any comments which suggest any one of these seasons stands out from the others --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 20:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all They're about seasons involving a non fully-professional league, so not enough to pass WP:NSEASONS. Joseph2302 21:55, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - the fifth tier of English football is nowhere near, the "top professional league" level required by WP:NSEASONS. A review of the WP:FOOTY Deletion archive will show clear consensus that for English football the cut off point at which clubs are deemed notable enough for individual seasons is the fourth tier as that is also the lowest tier that consensus holds is fully professional.

Keep all these teams competed at a level where their coverage will see them pass WP:GNG. Difficult to go into detail in a bundled discussion, but I suppose that's the idea. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattythewhite:I resent that last comment. These articles were very carefully curated to fit together, as I've twice explained, and you've not responded to. I ask that you presume good faith here; this was a deliberately and carefully chosen set of articles. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 19:16, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your explanation made little sense. The Wimbledon AFC called out listing different teams like this, and you just did the same again, simply to save yourself the effort. The articles have been here for years, it's not like there is any rush to get rid of them. Nfitz (talk) 00:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure I see the issue with bundling these specific articles, they are all inherent WP:NOTSTATS failures. @Mattythewhite: can you perhaps show GNG by adding some sourced prose to at least one of the articles? Fenix down (talk) 08:20, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that my explanation made little sense is different from claiming that I was doing this to manipulate - I've no problem with disagreement :)! As I've explained, my judgment was that listing 2 teams together was very different from listing 10 teams together. I wanted to bundle because I wanted this discussion to allow editors to comment on this category of articles broadly, rather than to get too stuck on the specifics of one club; and yes, I was looking to save effort - I don't see a problem in that. I didn't read the closure of the Wimbledon deletion debate to see it as a rejection on bundling full-stop - I saw it as a legitimate response to a debate which clearly brought too many clubs together. For this deletion discussion, I chose 2 teams who both spent periods of time in the Conference in the early 2000s, before being promoted to the football league. This is because at the Wimbledon debate, there was a clear question over whether to treat clubs which have spent a period of time in the Football League differently to those which have never been promoted beyond the conference (contrast Gateshead and these two teams). I carefully looked at the seasons and saw no claims to notability in any of them; as noted, I very specifically didn't chose the seasons in which these teams were promoted, as I recognize that these seasons are potentially notable and will need a more thorough discussion. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 09:07, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete First, one of my pet peeves is the word "clearly" Nothing is clear, including this discussion. But given all of the above (and I've read all of it), and despite the fact that I am not intimately familiar with the subject-specific notability guidelines for sports seasons (I've always found the subject-specific guidelines to be somewhat contrived and a convenient way of skirting WP:GNG), I am not seeing sufficient argument or evidence that this particular season warrants a standalone article.

Delete. The seventh tier is not a fully professional league, meaning for example no players from the club would pass WP:NFOOTY (unless they previously playes in a different club at a much higher level). I do not see any evidence that the articles pass WP:GNG. Thus, I do not see why they should be kept.

Delete.

Keep - Notability is not temporary — this has already been run through AfD with a Keep result. In essence, the New York system of county government is based upon elected unitary executives. This individual is essentially the elected equivalent of a mayor of a city of 375,000 people. Carrite (talk) 16:20, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - County government does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass. While I cannot find a non-local source (NY Times, etc.), in this case, there are a significant number of independent sources that feature him, his life, his political beliefs (as opposed to a quote, or one [or two] campaign-related stories).

Keep as per my statement in the first AfD. He's a major political leader of a large suburban/exurban county in the New York City metropolitan area. Bearian (talk) 01:15, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Every county-level officeholder who exists at all can always claim to be a major political leader in their own local area. It's not a statement that gets a person into Wikipedia because claimed — a person gets into Wikipedia for it only when they can be properly sourced as being significantly more notable than the thousands of other people around the United States who hold comparable positions. But nothing here shows or sources that at all; the amount of sourcing shown here isn't even slightly greater than the amount of sourceability that every county-level politician always gets in the local media.

Keep Reviews linked in the infobox are not unavailable, as a cursory Google search indicates; the Popmatters article was moved to [4], and the Pitchfork article to [5]. Neither of these is selfpublished, nor is AMG.

Merge and redirect to Casey Dienel. Honestly people, if your favourite not-very famous singer with 7 whole paragraphs of bio puts out an album, just put all the info there. And all you procedure-mad wikipedians who love sending things to AFD - redirects are so easy, everyone can do them. Song -> Album -> Singer. No stupid template, no two weeks of trolling for comments, just redirect. The Steve 07:15, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While I maintain that the album is itself independently notable, I am not, in principle, opposed, here or in general, to seeing albums merged into discography pages. But this too often ends up as just lazily redirecting the article without moving any content. If the article is merged, not merely redirected, this is reasonable. Nevertheless, AfD is not and was never the proper venue for deciding that. Chubbles (talk) 14:55, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Thesteve: I am still chuckling thanks to your comment. I agree with your take - a merge or redirect and merge would have saved time and would be one less AfD. Thanks. ----Steve Quinn (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Chubbles: I see that you said merging to a discography (article) would have worked best, yet it was you who resurrected this article from a redirect. Wasn't it possible for you to merge this into a discography or the artist's biography article in the first place? ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:32, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, before I AfD any article I always do due diligence and do google searches, news searches, and newspaper searches. I really was not satisfied with the coverage I discovered - but a merge would be acceptable to me. Also, it is not necessary to make discovered sources more significant than they really are. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:37, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whether things have separate articles or not is very, very, very important to some Wikipedians, and seems to dominate a lot of decision-making on the site, to the exclusion of other alternatives at times. In this case, I was concerned primarily about the removal of encyclopedic content. If it is deleted, or redirected (and thus hidden from view) without merge, valuable and worthwhile content is then hidden from users. I don't care if the content is on the White Hinterland page or in a stand-alone article...but ultimately, I'm not trying to convince you that what matters is placating me in some compromise; I'm trying to convince you that the removal of content is not in the best interest of the users, because the information about the album is encyclopedic. I'm happy for the article to stand alone, and I don't think there is sufficient reason that it shouldn't...but if it were presented as part of a larger discography page instead, that's six of one, half-a-dozen of the other. I just wish everyone else saw it that way. Chubbles (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The subject clearly meets the general notability guideline which says If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article and clearly McDowell meets this with 15+ sources including in-depth treatment from the Wall Street Journal. Too many citations is a reason to delete an article? Nonsense -- WP:Overcite is only an essay, not an official guideline.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:25, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The topic of "Mary T. McDowell" has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. Yes, she is mentioned in the press, especially as it relates to her role at Nokia or new corporate initiatives, for which she's clearly a spokesperson, but this does not tell us much about the subject herself. Just getting press mentions because of her role does not necessitate creating an encyclopedia article. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:18, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ I'm afraid, per Tomwsulcer. (Yes, the one arguing Keep, strangely enough.) If that Wall Street Journal article is the most indepth source we have on her, we don't have any indepth sources. That Wall Street Journal article is not in depth coverage, it's a few paragraphs on what she said in one speech, it's not really about her as such, it's about what she said once. If there are actual indepth sources that cover her life, her career, something like that, I'd be glad to change my opinion. --GRuban (talk) 18:32, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are more sources: in-depth here, in-depth here, in-depth here, being the focus of a short article here, ~~getting serious attention in a book here,~~ getting several paragraphs worth of attention in the Financial Times, being the main subject of this article -- many more sources. At current count, there are over 20 references, GRuban. Subject clearly meets the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:44, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The new sources are either interviews or about the products the company launched. The "book" appears to be self-published. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the book -- Ari Hakkarainen was a Nokia employee (so I struck out that line above). Still, your reasoning is unclear -- that since the articles are "either interviews or about the products the company launched" that somehow this makes the sources invalid? What would a source have to say to satisfy you -- something about Mary McDowell's personal life, where she attended school, her opinions about politics, her views on global warming? That's absurd -- she is a business executive -- she markets phones -- that's what she does -- that is what the media reports -- that is what is interesting. Her name is prominently in the headline of many articles in reliable publications, her photo too, of course the articles are not about HER personally but about WHAT SHE DOES and what she does is indeed notable. The general notability guideline says If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article.... She meets the guideline easily. To me, this is one more instance of a pervasive anti-business agenda bias here in Wikipedia; one can see it at work here if one checks this list of infoboxes of persons -- there are infoboxes for NASCAR drivers and poker players and comics book creators but none for businesspeople.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:19, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are better, but still not great; only the CNet one is more than a few short paragraphs, and I can't see the Financial Times one. I'll strike my Delete opinion, but I'm not changing to a Keep yet. Honestly, I tried looking through the sources in the article but they are very very skimpy. The ones I looked at mentioned her in a list of five others, or in a passing sentence or three. --GRuban (talk) 13:47, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- even CNet is not convincing. For example, the article states: "McDowell, who will report to Chief Technology Officer Shane Robison, is part of the company's office of strategy and technology, which manages acquisitions, divestitures and minority investments." (red link mine) -- if the CTO is not notable, perhaps all the people reporting to him are not notable yet either? I don't think this is anti-business agenda; it's more of a pro-WP:N one. :-) K.e.coffman (talk) 03:34, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not all of the references are substantial and not all are Reliable Sources, but I found the Cnet and Register articles by themselves to be enough to meet the requirement of significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources.

Keep agree with MelanieN (talk) here - there's articles that make her the subject, and they're from reliable sources. Bolstered by the multiple mentions in many other articles, I feel the subject meets general notability requirements. CrispyGlover (talk) 03:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Musean hypernumber[edit]

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

The same reason I had to propose the article for deletion. Multiple concerns:

The content in itself seems not notable at all; in fact the sources point to either Charles Musès (who wasnt a mathematician, but, as wiki itself says, "an esoteric philosopher") or to Jens Köplinger, who seems the author of this article itself, as he says in the talk at special:diff/99213211: "In order to support notability, you were asking whether these numbers were "widely studied"? I wish they were. To me they are a widely referred-to concept that is in deep need of study. Other than Charles Musès and Kevin Carmody, I only know about myself [6] having formally published in a mathematical context. Informally but mathematical, there are references in monographs by Robert de Marrais (e.g. [7] and others) or self-maintained web pages (e.g. Tony Smith's [8]). But, most other references are outside the field of mathematics, in attempts to link consciousness with mathematical concepts, and in spiritual and religious ideas (an internet search shows all kinds of mentions, some serious; I don't want to go there).".
References to mathematics and physics terminology is all wrong and nonsensical, how is that an algebra? How such construct relates to quantum consciousness, as Musean hypernumber#Visions_of_applicability implies? It seems non-rigourous patent nonsense.
Even if this were notable, its lack of mathematical rigor and standard terminology, as well as its original creator being an "esoteric philosopher", would make the perspective from which this article is told completely wrong. If this isnt real mathematics, but rather "the view of mathematics said philosopher had" the article must state it and not trying to sell such concept as if it had the same mathematical status of real analysis. Nickanc (talk) 12:25, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article is poorly-written and the subject is of uncertain notability. But it's certainly not WP:NONSENSE in the Wikipedia sense: Musès rediscovered or repackaged the Cayley–Dickson construction and split-complex numbers at the very least, and probably most of his 'levels' are isomorphic to some simple or well-known mathematical objects. Further, it could be the case that the concept is not notable within mathematics but notable in, say, philosophy of mind or Western esotericism. In any case I'm unwilling to count as a strike against the article Musès' use of terminology which differs from modern mathematical terminology: pick one or the other, define appropriately, and move on.

Comment. Most of this isn't exactly nonsense, but it's possible to invent any number of useless mathematical structures like this. If Charles Musès is actually notable, some of this article could be very selectively merged there to help describe his esoteric views. But it's not clear to me that he is.

Comment - agree with above comment: as mathematics, it does not seem to be notable, from what I can tell. WP is not a soap-box; to become notable, it must happen outside of WP, with students and followers further articulating the theory. So this seems to lie at the edge, perhaps past the edge, of what is acceptable in WP: we are not here to document the thoughts of creative, inventive thinkers -- you can find many marvelous ideas and insights and observations and inventions on the web -- and 99.99% of them do NOT have a corresponding WP article. Heck, there's maybe only one WP article for every 10K published scientific papers, or something like that. My gut reaction is that the original author should take this article, turn it into a PDF, and publish it on ArXiv, or send it into some mathematical or philosophical monthly to attract a bigger audience. I guess my comment here leans towards delete, but I'm a bit too ... err ... nice and tolerant to quite say that.

It's a nice thing to do, and one I usually try to do, but it is very explicitly not required—and when it's not done by the nominator, it's very quickly done by someone else, as it was here.

Follow up: I just spent about an hour or so drilling down on the deadlinks, and found archived links for most of them. Unfortunately, many are in Dutch or German, so it's going to take someone other than me to do the review of these materials, but I do believe that the multiple citations in third-party sources independent of the subject has been met.

Comment DGG, I'm a bit curious as to why we are using WP:PROF here. I went and looked up about the subject and it is clear that the subject is not an academic: they have not published any papers, they have not done any teaching. The university is a private university and the subject is the owner of the conglomerate which built the university. I'm hesitant to use WP:PROF here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:55, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROF criterion 6, "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society." There are two questions: First, is the university major enough, and I can understand thinking it is not, tho in practice we've extended this criterion down to some quite minor colleges. Second, is the position the actual head of a university. In many UK and UK related institutions it's the vice-chancellor who's the head.; in some US universities that are part of statewide systems the Chancellor is the head. In this particular case, checking their website, the co-founders of the university hold the positions of chancellor and pro-chancellor; there is a vice-chancellor. Dr. S.K. Salwan. I see no organizational chart or equivalent, but reading the CV's, I think he's clearly the head (and should have an article).I changed my !vote accordingly. Lemongirl942, I give you my appreciation for asking me to have another lookso I could correct my error. . DGG ( talk ) 15:37, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Starstreet Precinct[edit]

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

Swire is a repeat and long-term offender for COI promotional editing on Wikipedia, particularly with regard to their property holdings around Hong Kong (i.e. Cityplaza) as well as their group companies (like Swire Hotels).

The concept of the "Starstreet Precinct" was invented by the Swire company because they have a lot of property holdings in the area and wanted to elevate the value of the then-new Three Pacific Place tower by rebranding a "slummy" part of town into a stylish area. However, I do not think the moniker has come into common parlance. For average people it is simply a part of Wan Chai. Furthermore the article was created by a single-purpose account with conflict of interest and originally had a highly promotional tone with professional photos that also appear on official Swire websites.

This article is an advertisement for a "place" invented by a corporation in order to boost profits. What little substantive content there is can be easily incorporated into the Wan Chai article. Citobun (talk) 13:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't feel either way for this article, but I am very interested in the claim that Swire might have been engaging in COI and possibly WP:paid editing, since a lot of Hong Kong (and mainland Chinese) articles look very suspicious. Mind sharing your findings? _dk (talk) 23:55, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  The article notes:
  
  One of the most appealing shopping districts in the world right now is the assortment of steep yards and alleyways off Star Street in Wan Chai. The whole area – which now goes by the compound name Starstreet – is hemmed in on each side by the noise and chaos of the big city, but 100 yards in, it becomes tranquil and relatively traffic free.
  When I visited, there was a block party in full swing. It was the annual Starstreet Gourmet and Wine Walk, where – for HK$375 (£30) a ticket – I could bar hop for wine tastings and a sample of each local restaurant’s signature dish, and pick up a goodie bag in each participating boutique. Just across the road from the Monocle store (its very existence pointing to the fact that this is A Cool Area), two girls in bikinis performed burlesque in a giant coupe de champagne, while around the corner, a jazz trio played on the pavement; good times were being had by all.
  There are heavyweight designer fashion stores around Starstreet, but they’re of the insider kind (including off-beat casual Japanese brand Visvim, which takes inspiration from sources as diverse as the Finnish Sami tribes and Fun Boy Three and has its own store called F.I.L.). There are also charming one-off shops such as Odd One Out, which sells affordable art in the form of prints, cards and “upcycled” ceramics. Then, around the corner, there’s the Architectz’ Factory, an artfully chaotic jumble of Japanese radios from the 1940s, ancient cash registers, beautiful stationery, tomato fruit wine, tote bags and tea sets.
  I was particularly enamoured with the nearby Polab Instant Camera Workshop, which sells vintage Polaroid products as well as new camera bags by local label Zkin. I very nearly missed Polab, as it’s midway up a set of steps that look like they’re leading to an apartment block. Starstreet is an area that you need to wander, rather than rush around.

  日月星街漫遊者的驚喜在香港小街漫步,要有著漫遊者(City Flâneur)的感覺,日月星街是不二之選。街名來自香港首座建於1890年的灣仔發電廠,當時夜晚整個維港總是烏燈黑火,唯有灣仔這幾條街燈火通明,故此引用《三字經》「三光者,日月星。」來命名附近街道。
  此三條小街仍有低層唐樓建築,不少藝廊與設計小店、精品服飾與咖啡店都愛在此「落腳」。每個街角轉彎處都有驚奇發現,令小區多了一份藝術氛圍,是文青喜愛遊蕩的街區,也遙遙跟鄰近的藝術中心與演藝學院相呼應。

  我們回到星街、日街和月街的問題上。雖然公司在發電廠建設和運營上艱難前行，但還是決定為員工提供住宿，以此鼓舞士氣。街道臨近發電廠，員工宿舍就建於此。由於這裡是香港首個擁有電燈照明的地區，街道的名字取自中國經典讀物《三字經》中的一句：
  三才者，天地人。
  三光者，日月星。

  型格小區原本只是幾幢唐樓，再早至大約1900年的時候，香港開埠以來第一座發電廠在該址興建，而那麼美的街名則取自古文中「三才天地人，三光日月星」，喻意電力帶來光明。目前小區除指三條街外，還泛指周邊的地方，而得以的翻身轉「型」，除旁邊太古廣場第三期帶動和資助推廣之外，也全賴Monocle、Kapok等特式小店所賜。

Delete and Redirect as the listed coverage above is still at best PR-like, nothing containing the actual depth, and by this I mean nothing that is hinting at PR; thus, it's not convincing by itself as an article. SwisterTwister talk 03:46, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article from The Independent is not "PR-like"—it is a review. The Chinese-language books that discuss Starstreet are not PR either. They neutrally discuss the subject. Cunard (talk) 06:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cunard has demonstrated that there's enough coverage per GEOLAND and its requirement for neighbourhoods. It appears to be a notable district in a major urban area. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article passed the WP:GNG and WP:BASIC criteria, therefore we consider this article notable, and therefore, not to be deleted, and deserves to have an article.
So whether it passed or failed in all other criteria does not affect its general notability stated above.
Next, this article clearly passed 1 of 3 of the WP:NACTOR criteria.
I cannot say if this person has significant followers and if she has some innovative contributions to entertainment, but we cannot deny that she has at least four notable significant roles in three anime television shows (Etotama, Sakura Trick, and New Game!) and an anime special (List of Assassination Classroom characters.
According to Twitter, she has 26.4 thousand followers. https://twitter.com/todamegumi
Google's search engine recognizes her.
Additionally, Megumi Toda has both Japanese and Chinese corresponding wiki articles. If we delete this article, we may also delete those two articles especially those doesn't strictly follow the rules.
After the article creation, it has an average of 14 views per day according to https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/. Not a good number, but a good indication that the article is visited. I credit New Game! for that. And in its Japanese and Chinese wikipedia articles, it is visited more than 600 times and more than 20 times, respectively, last 30 days.
"On the few films, on which she get a listing, she is not even on the main cast list." - She is on the main cast list on three shows.
And lastly, I wanna correct that she is a voice actress, which means, she uses her voice. IMDb does not know how to distinguish an actress and a voice actress. They're different. IMDb lists only five credits, one of them is significant (New Game!). CunningRabbitXenon07 (talk) 15:49, 27 July 2016 (UTC) }}[reply]

Comment Most of the articles as sources are spurious at best. Examining each in turn. Anime News Network. Each of the entries list the voice actress by name, as a cast member and do not assert notability. Crunchyroll - Are all cast member listing and do not assert any notability. Animate Times does an interview, but states she is new to singing but asserts no notability whatsoever, apart from the fact she is newbie. Yahoo! Japan - mention here name as cast member, Koepota - mentions here name as cast member, Anime Anime - 1st mentions single name, 2nd mentions here as a cast member, 3rd, also mentions here as being a cast member, added late. So a translation by Google and Bing Translate which is the better of the two, shows that out of the 11 so called sources, 9 of them list her as a cast member, similar to IMDB except with associated character, the interview mentions she is new to singing as newbie. So not single entry in the comment box asserts any [WP:BIO]] or asserts WP:GNG. I really do understand the sheer desperation that commit mankind to finish what he started, particularly in war, but at the end of the day this lassie is a newbie and as such doesn't have need an article on Wikipedia as yet. scope_creep 13:20, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Scope creep, can you look at the JA Wikipedia references? The cast announcements from the English talk page don't help notability at all. The interviews might be okay. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:45, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My first look through the JA sources is that they're mostly cast announcements as well. I was hoping famitsu or natalie might have some more coverage, but it does not look that promising. The theme songs are promising although they are all collaborations: Oricon rankings under Megumi Toda solo Oricon page with collaborations Soruaru BOB (Etotama cast) has a ranked single [23] so does fourfolium (New Game cast) [24] and Idolmaster [25].

Keep. Has enough notable roles to warrant inclusion. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:42, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I hate to comment in these Afd which I've nominated, but what roles? Show me that one role @Xezbeth, in which she has a major part, with a valid source. You need to provide evidence dude, it is not acceptable just to make a statement with no backing evidence. I'll take a look. scope_creep 08:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Comment @AngusWOOF, 1: is a cast member. 2: Is a ticket portal and aggregation site for show. It discusses hold a show which she will appear in, where you can ticket. 3. Describes here appearing as a guest, on a promotional radio show, which has been running 12 times Megumi Toda appeared in the broadcast of the guest. @Knowledgekid87 I wouldn't knock IMDB. Its very accurate. So in the end up, I still think she fails WP:BIO and WP:NACTOR spefically. scope_creep 09:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

IMDB is generally not a reliable source, per Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb. I would trust Behind the voice actors before I trust IMBD, as any roles there with green check marks next to them link to screenshots with confirmed credits. (An example: [26]) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:06, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There's not really a lot of coverage specifically about her at least in English, but given that she's had major roles in several series, she'd probably at the very least pass WP:ENTERTAINER. The Animate Times interview is a good start, at the very least. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:08, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Knowledgekid87, Well I think the distinction with IMDB is that the reviewer content is untrustworthy, not cast lists. They may be slightly out of date at the moment, but they will be eventually correct, and you must remember, that it is the same people creating content on Wikipedia, that is also creating content on IMDB, i.e. cast lists, but the argument is a side show. Not everybody is an anime nut, and I think cast lists tend not be updated when content is initially created, or indeed some time. @Narutolovehinata5, what major roles had she had. Tell me exactly what they are, as I've covered every web entry out to five pages, in the English, Japanese, and on Baidu, and no show as a star, or lead, or main character actor, merely a newbie, a reflection. You'll need to show me exactly what assertion on WP:ENTERTAINER it satisfies Scope creep (talk) 10:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB cast lists are not reliable because they are user-submitted. However, it can be a starting point to find the actual episode which shows her participation in credits. On the character lists, New Game she is listed 6th, Etotama 11th, Sakura Trick 6th among the main characters so those are large ensembles, which is different from headlining a show, but not a minor supporting role, considering she sings on the series' theme songs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And Wikipedia isn't also user submitted? Your essentially saying here that Wikipedia is not reliable or more accurately, inaccurate. Possibly they were worrying about peer and cross checking, but essentially both use the exact same methods to post and update, by multiple users concurrently. It is a false tautology, or false equivalence to suggest otherwise. Just because some policy wonks have written an policy article saying it is not notable, possibly because they don't fully understand how content is generated and the semantic web work, doesn't make it true. They are merely guidelines, at the end of the day. I think this is getting silly. I've already explained above this is the first time she has sung. The first time. She is newbie, and as such doesn't assert WP:GNG Scope creep (talk) 00:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

She currently does not meet notability as a solo singer, but her collaborative group efforts have charted. It doesn't matter if she is a newbie or has yet to make a solo singing debut. As for how to reference content from other Wikipedia pages, there's WP:CIRC. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:53, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What group efforts? I think possibly WP:SUBNOT applies. She needs to be notable on here own standing to be able to assert WP:GNG. @AngusWOOF, I don't think you understand what I saying above how content is created in the web, and how so much much is duplicated. Thats ok. Scope creep (talk) 09:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that a newbie singer can still be notable The group efforts are nice background information prior to the solo career, and it still depends on whether the artist's debut single/album has some decent notability. That's all. We don't need to discuss how similar or different user-editing is on IMDB compared to Wikipedia. I'm sure there are parts very much like Wikipedia.

Keep The article should be deleted because right now they are simply not relevant enough to have their own page, they just debuted and Kpop fans have the habit to create for everything a page right away but it's also true that this group is from YG Entertainment and will be relevant soon therefore it's just a waste of time to delete the article, it would be re-created soon anyway (there was a similar discussion going on with NCT a while ago) but the sources are ridiculous and the whole page needs to be improved because right now I would almost agree with deleting it. I mean seriously? kpopstarz, allkpop, soompi? This page has like 2-3 reliable sources and that's it. Also Junkoo I get it you are a fan but if you want to help you should inform yourself how wikipedia works and read a few guidelines. --Thebestwinter (talk) 18:55, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I dont even know their names yet calling me a fan is disrespectful but i am a YG stan it clearly states on the KR/RS that allkpop soompi and the likes have reliable news sections since they are just korean translations just like the article above.Id be pressed to provide you with articles that arent true on their websites that are form their news section and most of the rumors/gossip is also accurate so guidelines are on my side on this one and even if they werent they dont trump common sense.Obviously the group has debuted.This deletion request is comeplete bollocks they have abviously debuted and are and have an all kill on realtime notability for a charting and highly talked about group is common sense.Junkoo (talk) 19:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - "I dont even know their names yet calling me a fan is disrespectful" — First of all don't be overdramatic. I'm just trying to help you to understand but you are simply not understanding how things work here. I'm new myself and still learning, so some other users might help you to understand better than me but I'm gonna repeat it for you again: This band just released a single and the coverage presented is from Kpop news sites that have just repeated what they were told by the label in a tabloid style and also the page has only 2-3 reliable sources. If you want to discuss the reliability about allkpop and all the other unreliable websites you can open a new discussion but it was already done years ago and the result was obvious. Their charting positions will be released starting next week but right now they have no notability. They have released music now so yes they will be relevant enough soon that's why I voted to keep the article but if an actual admin would make a decision right now I'm pretty sure it would be redicted or deleted.--Thebestwinter (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Im not being overdramatic im just stating an opinnion anyway.Ive oppened the discussion on the talkpage (been meaning to do it for a while) its basicly already done its just put in the wrong section so theres not much to argue either way.Also if NTC and Red velvet ect pages are anything to go by these types of claims of it being too soon fall flat on their face.Its gonna be 3 days or so till Inkigayo even more news will pop up about them on the korean sites and will be mentioned in round up articles so it is a waste of time to delete this article and ridiculous after so many simmilar discussion to debate it.Wikipedia is about delivering information to the user and alot of searches happen in this period so its counterproductive to the project to delete it.At the most i can accept a keep with needed impovement.(IMHO)Junkoo (talk) 19:40, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your article states that they will debute op 14-8-2016, so they have not yet debuted. The article also states that the song and album have not reached relevant notable charts (= charts with an article on Wikipedia). The Banner talk 19:19, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - That date is for Inkigayo it will be their debut music show (any subsequent release that will be featured after these 2 will be called comebacks as per Kpop terminology) not their debut mv release which already happened i guess if you dont understand much about Kpop or are new to it it can be confused.Also please wait till the 18th if you require a chart listed in aan arbitrary list on wikipedia (Gaon) since oviously being number one on all realtime charts is not enough to determine charting in 2016.I could go into how all kill status is more important than that list on wikipedia but since all that Gaon does is agrigate the already number one scores of other charts it seems pointless.Junkoo (talk) 19:26, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Please tone down a bit. Point is that you and your article have to adhere to the rules of Wikipedia. It is not the case that Wikipedia has to conform to Kpop, Yk and other marketing companies. Read the notability guidelines, read the guidelines for reliable sources. And please, if you are closely involved in a subject (fan, employee), you better not edit the page as it is extremely difficult to keep the article neutral in tone and style. The Banner talk 19:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Im not insulting you im not demeaning you so please dont tell me how to write.Second we meet the guidlines period charts are being topped news is being written sources are being ref.Also ive mostly done citing and my part was merged from a previous article so take it up with that user.I dont see anything thats breakign neutrality.Junkoo (talk) 19:45, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Please read Wikipedia Reliable Sources. Also please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources that clearly states that Alkpop en Soompi are NOT reliable sources. The Banner talk 19:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        I have read it Allkpop "in addition to accurately reported facts." and for Soompi it doesnt even state a reason as to why it isnt reliable it just says "An English-language website K-pop site."Junkoo (talk) 20:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly someone has an axe to grind against K-pop groups. The precedents for notability have long been set in this area.

Keep Ignoring the massive dispute above, it seems to me like this would be being deleted on a technicality. All of YG Entertainment's groups seem to be very prominent and so even if this is marginally a case of TOOSOON, I feel like deleting this wouldn't really be beneficial as they're clearly going to be very much notable and already seem to be subject to hype. I also feel like systematic bias could well play a part here - has anyone fully explored Korean language sources? Many of the disputed sources are published in English. KaisaL (talk) 20:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article needs a lot of work (sites like Allkpop are not reliable), but I don't think it should be deleted. Black Pink's songs are charting well on real-time charts which will translate to charting on the Gaon Digital Chart. Their two music videos have over 7 million views on Naver TV Cast and YouTube[27].

Keep: Creation of the page may have been rushed but the group's significance and notability is apparent post-debut. We have Wikipedia pages for artists who struggle to reach a million YouTube views for a video and never chart anywhere close to the upper top of a chart. Blackpink videos have reached more than 9 million as of this post, scanned enough to reach number 2 on iTunes US album chart, indicating people's interest and the group's influence. They just started out so their notability maybe wobbling off the radar for some. But if we delete the page for that reason, it is very likely that we would have to create it again eventually if the current statistics indicate anything.

Keep Brianga with all due respect, did you read the article? The article is sourced to references which verifiably debunk "non-verifiable original thought", specifically The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, Snopes, Media Matters, etc. It passes GNG as it is a bizarre conspiracy theory that has received widespread coverage. This is an important article as it collates the rational response and verifiable facts presented by RS that debunks a weird meme propogated by chat rooms, blogs, and notorious conspiracists like PJW in one place. It is as vital to the propagation of logic and reason as our other debunking articles like 9/11 conspiracy theories, Illuminati, and Climate change denial. I can't imagine why anyone would AfD this unless they didn't want the facts that undermine and debunk this expanding and outrageous conspiracy theory to be easily available. LavaBaron (talk) 17:26, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

As for your references argument, I disagree. The fact that the fringe theory is discussed on Snopes or even the Washington Post doesn't change that the underlying ideas are original thought and non-verifiable. As for the remainder of your argument, it seems like you are saying that Wikipedia should be used to debunk or propagate certain ideas; for that, I refer you to WP:SOAP.Brianga (talk) 17:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, I believe you are incorrect. The mere fact that non-verifiable thought exists is not excludable from WP if it is the source of widespread coverage in RS which covers the existence of the thought rather than the thought itself. See Majestic 12 or any other conspiracy theory as non-verifiable and bizarre as this distasteful allegation; the fact is, it's become part of the cultural milieux. That may be a sad and depressing testament on society, but it's a fact as the article establishes. Also, please sign your posts. LavaBaron (talk) 17:35, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A rumor created as part of a political campaign is not entitled to a Wikipedia article just because a few reliable sites have debunked it. This is in the same vein as speculation that another candidate had small anatomical parts. Wikipedia was quick to punish an admin who made humorous reference to a candidate's hand size. This is even a more serious WP:BLP violation and should be speedily deleted. Edison (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edison if you want to support Delete, that's fine; if you want to speedily delete it, okay. But please don't chill the conversation by alluding to some forthcoming "punishment" I may suffer. Instead, let's have a vibrant and mutually respectful debate on the issue in which we exchange ideas, trade opinions, contemplate each others viewpoints, and arrive at individual conclusions that we accept may differ from those of our fellow editors. Thanks. LavaBaron (talk) 18:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please reread my post carefully. I pointed out that the community took very seriously a previous humorous mention of an allegation from a candidate's debate forum. There was no tolerance shown of a BLP violation just because the victim was a political candidate.There is no statement, prediction or inference that you or others will be punished. I only called for a vicious BLP violation to be removed. Edison (talk) 18:18, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote a "vicious" article? Got it. So much for a mutually respectful dialog. Guess we're going full radioactive. (And how anyone could even think an article which is essentially an index of facts that debunk a vicious rumor is, itself, "vicious" is utterly beyond me. Going into this I thought there was a chance I'd be accused of being a Clinton apologist; the idea someone would think this was a Clinton attack article is really throwing me for a loop.) Off-topic, but there's been such a frustrating trend here lately with editors coming in and immediately unsheathing their battle axes to start swinging instead of taking a couple deep breaths, having a cold glass of water, and sitting down for a discussion. LavaBaron (talk) 18:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have twice attributed to me things I did not write. Stop it. I did not call it a vicious article as you claim. I said it was a vicious rumor. Again, please read posts carefully before you reply to them. Do not create strawmen. Edison (talk) 19:17, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of reading posts carefully - you said (quoting verbatim) it was "a vicious BLP violation" not a "vicious rumor" [32]. In fact, not once did you use the phrase "vicious rumor" prior to your last reply in which you claim you did; you did, however, describe my article as a "serious BLP violation" and "vicious BLP violation" [33][34] which leaves very little ambiguity as to what you are referring as the term "BLP violation" only exists on WP and unambiguously refers to a WP article.

But I AGF you misspoke and meant "vicious rumor", not "vicious BLP violation", so no harm done now that that's clarified. Thank you for taking the time to respond. LavaBaron (talk) 19:50, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The unfounded claim that a presidential candidate (or anyone else) has brain damage is itself a vicious BLP violation, and has no place in any in Wikipedia. At WP:BLP it is clear that "BLP violation" can include content in an article, as opposed to the entire article as you state, when it says "Administrators may enforce the removal of clear BLP violations with page protection...." which would prevent some statement being re-added to an article, but would leave the article. Edison (talk) 21:10, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you didn't say "vicious rumor" then? LavaBaron (talk) 09:48, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin - If consensus is for delete, please word the explanatory note cautiously so someone viewing the deletion record doesn't come to the conclusion this was an article propagating or advancing this conspiracy theory. If the text is eviscerated and only a record of the title is left, I can see this coming back to bite me down the road. Thanks - LavaBaron (talk) 18:10, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a fine line between creating an article that engages in speculation and an article that reports on the practice of a specific form of speculation, provided that the practice has received significant coverage in reliable sources. I think this is a fairly close call in this case, but on balance, I think this article functions more as restatement of the conspiracy theories than a description of history, prevalence, impact, and significance of such theories. To the extent that these rumors are noteworthy, I think readers would be best served if a brief summary of the rumors were included at the article for Hillary Clinton (per WP:PAGEDECIDE), which already includes a discussion of her health and explains that "her doctors subsequently said she made a full recovery" from the 2012 hospitalization. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While nutty and baseless conspiracy theories can under certain circumstances be sufficiently notable for an article, this is not one of them; the conspiracy nonsense has not achieved significant, in-depth third-party coverage. I acknowledge that LavaBaron, the creator of this article, was attempting to describe the theory, not to promote it, and was acting in good faith. But frankly—I say this only half-facetiously— if we devoted an entire article to every crazy right-wing conspiracy theory about the Clintons, we would have server space for little else. Perhaps this claim (and the various debunkings) merits a mention in the biographical articles of those people who propagated this nonsense. Neutrality^talk 21:57, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Fails WP:PROFRINGE and, possibly, WP:GNG. If Wikipedia covered every conspiracy theory that emerged, it would fill up pretty quickly. This theory is very clearly designed to undermine Mrs Clinton's campaign for the Presidency, and Wikipedia should not be used as a tool to manipulate voters, especially in cases such as this where there is virtually no evidence. If more concrete evidence emerged (e.g. an expert opinion from Clinton's doctor), then I would suggest inclusion on Clinton's own article. It isn't worthy of its own article. Specto73 (talk) 11:08, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. WP should not be a tool to manipulate the public. It should be a tool to inform the public and that's what this article does - it collates all of the factual claims that debunk these ridiculous rumors into one concise, easily accessible place. With the help of WP's reach, this article had the potential to slow the spread of ignorance. Within a week or two, people googling Clinton + Brain Damage would have landed here, where they would see these claims countered with facts from RS like the WaPo and Daily Beast. Instead, once it's deleted, they'll be landing on the Alex Jones website where they'll get pounded with uncontested conspiracy clap-trap. You've done great work on WP, Specto73, but I'd ask you reconsider your !vote. I know you mean well but by hitting delete the only people you're helping are Alex Jones, Frank Gaffney, and Dylan Howard; they'd like nothing more than resources like this swept under the rug. LavaBaron (talk) 13:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, you still seem to think that Wikipedia should be a soapbox (or a counter-soapbox?) rather than an encyclopedia. Brianga (talk) 15:52, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, evisceration of ignorance and the democratization of knowledge are normative goals of the Wikipedia project; spreading opinion constitutes "advocacy" as defined in WP:SOAPBOX, spreading knowledge does not. If I were calling for the maintenance of an article that rebuts criticism of Clinton's policy positions, that would be WP:SOAPBOX. However, maintaining an article that provides the scientific rational consensus regarding a popular, false conspiracy theory is not advocacy, it is knowledge dissemination - the very purpose of WP. LavaBaron (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

S̶t̶r̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶K̶e̶e̶p̶ This clearly passes WP:PROFRINGE since "The notability of a fringe theory must be judged by statements from verifiable and reliable sources, not the proclamations of its adherents" has been met by sources to Washington Post, Daily Beast, Media Matters, and Fox. It is a notable, long running conspiracy theory that is well sourced and discussed outside of its original conspiratorial sources. However, it probably needs a title change from something like 'rumor' to 'hoax'.--DrCruse (talk) 01:46, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PROFRINGE is not a proscription on fringe, weird, or bizarre ideas; PROFRINGE is a proscription on fringe ideas that can only be sourced to fringe sources. This is a fringe idea that has been elevated to the point of national discussion through coverage in the mainstream media.

There's a conclusion from a physician who has never even examined Clinton, but yet his quote in the article is not identified as being speculation. The WaPo ref is not quoted accurately, our article says - In most of the cases scrutinized - which implies that some cases are legit, when actually The WaPo stated - In every case, a Clinton moment that had been captured by the media was reinterpreted and wrenched out of context.

Marge/redirect to Conspiracy theories of the United states presidential election, 2016. As I read PROFRINGE discussion of the fringe idea in reliable sources is enough to support having an article. So on that basis the right outcome is an easy keep. However, I believe that editorially we are best served by placing it in the context of other, related, conspiracy theories. Thus the merge !vote.

Redirect per Hobit. It is debunked in enough RS that PROFRINGE says it should be kept: Ideas supported only by a tiny minority may be explained in articles devoted to those ideas if they are notable.

Keep Article needs work but subject defo notable. Irrelevant about semi-pro. Hundreds of articles on English semi-pro players on Wiki. Horgan has been named in LoI Premier Division Team of the Tear on at least two occasions. Also played for Dundalk in European football this season. They have qualified for group stages of 2016–17 Europa League. Surely this is notable. Djln Djln (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not really interested in what guidelines say. A subject is either notable or not and I don't need guidelines to tell me so. Plus "guidelines" are guidelines not rules or laws. They are not carved in stone. Horgan plays in top level football in his country and has played in European qualifiers. That is surely notable. If hundreds of other articles on semi-pro footballers exist that sets precedent. Are you advocating we delete every article on semi-pro footballers. Surely not !

Hummer (band)[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Relisting for further discussion following a NPASR closure where there wasn't enough participation after three relists. The issue here remains that the band has no strong claim to passage of WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage -- and we're much stricter about both of those things now than we were when this was created ten years ago. This was a one-off collaboration between musicians who were previously or subsequently associated with more notable bands than this one ever was -- but the problem is that the separation creates competing candidates for a potential redirect: Ron Hawkins as the only member who actually has any WP:BLP notability as a standalone topic in his own right (and the sole reason this band ever satisfied any earlier version of NMUSIC in the first place), or FemBots as the band that the other two members subsequently went on to form. And because of that target conflict, I'd still prefer to just delete rather than redirecting this. Bearcat (talk) 15:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Per my view in the first AfD, the Allmusic bio is sufficient for sourcing basic facts about the band, and it was significant enough to be covered somewhere in articles about McKinnon and Poirier's bands. Dig Circus or FemBots are probably the best merge targets, but the whole set of related articles could really do with looking at to see which can be sourced properly and which should be merged elsewhere. --Michig (talk) 06:03, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dig Circus have already been merged, as I did check deeply enough to determine that they cannot be sourced up to contemporary standards anymore. And you still never answered my question last time as to why a redirect to FemBots should be privileged over a redirect to Hawkins — Hawkins is (a) the only one of the three who actually has his own independent notability as a valid topic for a standalone BLP separate from any band he was in, (b) the sole reason this band was ever a legitimate article topic in the first place (because "independently notable member" was an NMUSIC criterion, while "members who went on to form another band but weren't independently notable outside of that" was not), and (c) overwhelmingly the likelier candidate for why anybody might ever actually have heard of this obscure local one-off project in the first place (because he was significantly more famousish than either of the FemBots to start with, and still is). So what I'm still waiting for is an explanation of why FemBots should be the preferred redirect target: why on earth would all of that count for less than "vocalist + guitarist"?

It's entirely possible to use the AllMusic bio to source the fact that this project existed in both Hawkins and the FemBots articles, which can still directly link to each other in that context, while deleting the title because there are two competing topics with valid claims to a redirect — but you're simply ignoring the fact that Hawkins has an at least fully equal, and arguably stronger, claim to the redirect as compared to FemBots, and I don't understand why. Bearcat (talk) 15:26, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

850 AM Montreal[edit]

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

Delete. This is a radio station which was granted a license in 2013 to launch, but has now had its authorization expire still unbuilt -- meaning that it can never launch without starting over from scratch with a new application that it would be substantially less likely to actually get reapproved. (Both of the company's other two stations on 600 AM and 940 AM are also set to expire unbuilt within the next six to eight weeks, but their licenses are still technically active as of today.) In truth, there's a longtime pattern here of sanding down the edges of WP:NMEDIA by starting articles about radio stations as soon as they get their license approvals, even though they don't yet meet NMEDIA's second condition regarding "established broadcast history" -- but this kind of scenario is exactly why we need to put a lid on that and start limiting "licensed but not yet launched" stations to draftspace instead of permitting them in mainspace. And for the record, the sourcing here is three-fifths blogs and one-fifth the CRTC license itself, leaving only one news article for reliable source coverage -- and even that one news article isn't about this station itself, but was an overview of all the new radio stations that got licensed in Montreal's 2013 "Let's Repopulate the AM Band!" bonanza, with only a blurb's worth of content about this one. So there's not much case for deeming this exempt from NMEDIA because WP:GNG — all we need about this anymore is one short paragraph about TTP in Media in Montreal.

The paucity of discussion in reliable independent secondary sources suggests that this book is not notable, though I want to give credit to the article's author, Geoffrey1912, for his apparent first effort at article creation— please don't let this deletion nomination blow out your candle, and please feel free to leave me a message on my personal talk page to discuss things further, yes?

Keep, meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG, reviewed by Kirkus Reviews - "Typically, Wolfe throws a Molotov cocktail at conventional wisdom in a book that won’t settle any argument but is sure to start some."[36], Publishers Weekly - "Wolfe is at his best when portraying the lives of the scientists and their respective eras, and his vibrant study manages to be clever, funny, serious, satirical, and instructive."[37], Library Journal(a short one) - "Here, he works his way from Alfred Russel Wallace, who thought up the theory of natural selection before Darwin but then renounced it, to contemporary anthropologist Daniel Everett’s upset-the-apple-cart claim that language is not hardwired, to make the eye-popping assertion that human achievement and complex social structure are owing not to evolution but to speech."[38], and by The Times[39], and Booklist and a longer review in Publishers Weekly[40], National Public Review also discusses the books development - "Wolfe has hinted at the idea before, notably in a 2006 lecture called "The Human Beast."[41] Coolabahapple (talk) 10:59, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished reading this Wikipedia page and on my opinion it should stay there, it has a great summary about his life, what does he do, how did he start and his personal life. Everyday people want something new and I think this kind of things is what they are looking for, they want someone to inspire, as the creator of the page stated on the artist page "Trying to set a role model and show the world everything is possible", which means that the artist wants to show the world that if you want it, you can have it, that is why I think this page should stay there and help other people to get to know him better and where does he come from.

In all my years of editing on Wikipedia, this is honestly the first time I've been accused of sockpuppetry. Well done. Of course this is absurd, and I'm happy to find an administrator who can look at IP logs to see if there's any evidence of sockpuppetry. Since you don't have evidence, your "strike" of Mauramauramaura's comment is talk page vandalism, and I will revert it. Also, per WP:CLOSEAFD, "consensus is not based on a tally of votes, but on reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments." So striking a vote does nothing, because AfD decisions are based on consensus from arguments, not vote tallies. Trinitresque (talk) 03:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- I do not see the justification for deleting this article. It's historic and noteworthy that a Somali-American woman has won a primary for a state legislative seat. All Minnesota House members have Wikipedia articles. There is truly no chance that a Republican could be elected in this district (it's wildly Democratic; and yes WP:CRYSTAL me for saying that). So we're supposed to then reconstruct this article from scratch in November, when Omar is elected, because we couldn't bear the bandwith this article is taking up until then? Random deletionism. Omar is the subject of articles in major media. (Non-Minnesota examples alone: [42], [43], [44].)

If the sourcing issue had been addressed, on balance we'd probably have consensus to cover him, at least for now, at Muslim supporters of Israel, so any recreation of this or similar content (with unimpeachable sources) should probably first happen there.

Comment I went to Google's Israeli site, hoping to find the spelling of Mr. Satri's name in Hebrew to help find additional sources (as I've done at other AfDs). Instead, I found page after page of results, hundreds of websites with identical content. In English. "'I receive regular threats from both Arab Israelis and Palestinians, via social media and by phone,' said Mahdi Satri, 17, a resident of Jadeidi-Makr, east of Acre." Almost like somebody has spammed his story all over the web. Very disappointing. I didn't find a single page about him in Hebrew. Nor anything resembling original reporting. Perhaps an editor in Israel can find some local coverage, because I had hoped to and wasn't able to. I'm withholding judgment for now, but this is starting to smell like a hoax to me. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:13, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CommentI didn't find anything in Hebrew. Also I searched by the village name and nothing pops up in local news. So, I guess as for now it's a one time news event. BTW, hundreds of website with identical content may be an outcome of some article published by Reuters or similar news agency. Their articles are being copied over and over again with the same content. It's like a stock for articles for sites, that do not have their own journalists.

Delete. Another source, of the exiguous number found, namely ENLACE JUDÍO MÉXICO, egregiously fails RS as well.

I posted a link to RS/N, not my personal views, Sherlock. Having a large circulation does *not*^edited a reliable source make, otherwise National Enquirer or The Sun would be reliable sources.

*Keep [by creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD]

The idea to merge into Muslim supporters of Israel is, in itself, argument to keep. In that entire article, and specifically in the Israel section, not one youth is listed, let alone in the nature, fervor, and methodologies of Satri’s pro-Israel advocacy. The fact that Satri, since age 12, has basically stood alone against physical violence and death threats (including from his own village, Hamas, and those in Ramallah), makes this notable. The only question is, when Sarti is murdered and a Wikipedia article is written about him, how long will it take for the Wikiwashing debate to ensue that the article should be merged with Israeli-Palestinian conflict (2015-present) or List_of_violent_incidents_in_the_Israeli–Palestinian_conflict,_[add date here]? Kamel Tebaast 18:36, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Hopefully, as creator of the article, my opinion will carry added weight to merge. I realize that at this point, he has not attained enough notoriety for a singular encyclopedia article. If that time comes, we can always give him one. Until then, I think he should be added to Muslim supporters of Israel. Kamel Tebaast 21:52, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is a 27 July profile (not a long one) written by a Norwegian that draws on published articles about Satri and on Satri's online writing about Israel. Granted, this is a case of marginal, recent notability.

Comment - This is not a person, this is an event, and more particularly, a festival, so it has slightly different requirements for notability. The fact that notable acts attend doesn't really matter; the event won't inherit from that, and as a matter of fact, there aren't any listed. Also, I'm a bit confused - the festival takes place in Lagos (according to the article and the Music in Africa source, but the Evening Standard source says there was a performance in a Reading Room at the British Library, which is in London. So that's not about the same event. So out of the three sources provided here, two aren't pertinent, and of the four in the article, none provide significant coverage, as they're all written prior to the event and announce its occurrence. One source is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. I'd also add that per WP:EVENT, the event is never covered outside of its occurrence, and thus is WP:NOTNEWS in that context. MSJapan (talk) 16:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I disagree that this is a non-notable event, whether the coverage is significant enough to warrant an article is a different story, but it is a notable event; Pulse, CNN, AP (2008) and AP (2012), The Star (South Africa), All Africa, Yagazie Emezi (photography) and an article about her photography at Felabration, Bella Naija, HF Magazine, Uncova.

In addition the Evening Standard source is about the event, because around the date of his birthday, felabrations are held worldwide with different Felabrations, just a few I found: Singapore, Amsterdam, London, Kansas City, MO, Boulder, CO, NYC, Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA, Los Angeles, CA and even in Nebraska.

The annual event was also discussed in John Collins's 2009 book, Fela: Kalakuta Notes. An e-version of the book can be seen here.

Keep - per sources noted by Versace1608, the album passes WP:GNG. @MSJapan:, is album charting the only criterion for notability in WP:MUSIC? I know of an AfD thread on almost 30 singles by Drake which were deleted and redirected. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 16:55, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it's by far the easiest, and here's why. WP:NMUSIC has three main sets of notability policies (for musicians, albums, and songs). The one that applies here is WP:NALBUM. The problem with relying solely on coverage is this - the coverage needs to be WP:RS, and that's often hard to determine. For example, this sources given here may be OK, but some of the stuff I've seen in other articles frim the same sources is or borders on gossip - one of the sources on Ruby Gyang was all about why her baby daddy wasn't in her video, and I'm sorry, but that's not appropriate encyclopedic material. Gossip/tabloid coverage in a source calls into question the quality of the source overall, and it's not "because it's Nigeria" - we don't take any gossip rag or tabloid from any country as WP:RS, and there have been a lot of discussions on whether sources are reliable. We have a an entire noticeboard for that.

Honestly, some of the sources just aren't helpful in determining notability via coverage. I read the 360Nobs piece, and it hardly talks about the album; it talks about everything going on around the album, and that's closer to coverage of the label than it is the album. BellaNaija is also not a quality source once one reads the content - it's a transcript of two radio hosts talking back and forth, not a professionally-written article. The Daily Mirror review was written by the webmaster for the site, so it's hard to say whether it's under the same sort of editorial control. So there's legitimate questions here, and they are the same questions that apply to all sources. However, all of the other criteria - charting, a gold/platinum record, major music award, national airplay, etc., is objective - it either is, or it is not. The artist/record/song either got the award or didn't. The artist/record/song either got the chart position or didn't. There's no subjectivity involved.

The Drake stuff was probably because we have a policy that says "existence is not notability"; I don't think Drake had all thirty of those singles chart, and the fact that they were released isn't sufficient for an article - we are very clear on this. As far as songs go, charting is about the only reason to have an article on a song - otherwise there's not much to say that couldn't be said as part of the album article, even if it's soundtrack placement. The stand-alone songs we do have articles on are usually because they're significant to the genre ("Rapper's Delight"), or have been covered extensively ("Knockin' on Heaven's Door"). Even looking at List of songs recorded by the Beatles, not everything there has its own article because of the Bealtes alone. Some have no article, and some redirect to an article on the song independent of any group. That may be a bad choice of example, because almost everything the Beatles did was extensively written about, from song composition on up, in book-length form. Even Because (Beatles song) has ten sources and has been covered over 20 times. MSJapan (talk) 18:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No matter what you say, you cannot deny the fact that this album meets WP:GNG. Again I repeat, the websites I cited here have editorial oversight. How many sources does one need to provide before you're going to agree that this album meets WP:GNG? An article doesn't need to have a fix number of sources in order for it to be considered notable. The fact of the matter is that this album has been discussed in multiple (more than one) independent reliable sources. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MSJapan: You are nitpicking here simply because you cannot deny the fact the album meets WP:GNG. You are now questioning Nigerian Entertainment Today as a reliable source, smh. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
