The result was no consensus. Numerically, we're at 22 delete to 12 keep, which is a substantial majority but not quite consensus. The arguments boil down to "it's reliably sourced" vs. "it's a synthesized fringe coatrack." These are all valid opinions within the range of editorial judgment usually applied to articles of this type, so I can't determine whose arguments ought to carry more weight. Because of the close outcome, a relatively quick renomination (on the order of days) might be appropriate. Sandstein 19:40, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiracy theories of the United states presidential election, 2016[edit]

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

A hodge-podge coatrack of mostly mistitled and unrelated conspiracy theories, none of which independently arise to the standard of notability we require for an article about an ongoing event. Salimfadhley (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:PROFRINGE - everything sourced to RS (Washington Post, New York Times, CNBC, etc.) and RS establish these ideas, though ludicrous, pass our GNG for sheer volume and breadth of repetition, not unlike other weird ideas like Roswell UFO incident, etc. The article is a sober, academic treatment and is not actually promoting the ideas, which is a key criteria of PROFRINGE. The first section of this entry, further, establishes the underlying sociological and anthropological importance of irrational thinking in American politics by reference to academic study, justifying an entry providing deeper examination. Finally, not a "hodge podge" but meets our definition of WP:LISTDD. LavaBaron (talk) 21:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, by comparison, in a related AfD BlueSalix noted the case of Boyd Bushman as an example of PROFRINGE, while explaining this is not a case of that. LavaBaron (talk) 21:46, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly contains sufficient RS to establish notability. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:40, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Definitely passes WP:PROFRINGE as these ideas are written about in mainstream outlets not linked to the original conspiratorial source. I think it might fail WP:NOTNEWS and could possibly be merged into United States Presidential Election, 2016. --DrCruse (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:42, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:LISTN. Where are the sources about this subject? This loosk to be a mishmash of various incidents a source happened to call a "conspiracy theory". Anything beyond that is WP:OR. See WP:LISTN: "Notability of lists ... is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. [...] The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." (italics added). In other words, while no one source has to touch on all of these, notability is based on the group, not sources about individual examples. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:51, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They're in the section titled "references." LavaBaron (talk) 23:12, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Care to highlight any? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Harper's Magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, Media Matters for America, Snopes, Slate, NBC News, The Intercept, Gawker, Real Clear Politics, and Huffington Post. LavaBaron (talk) 23:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...Ok, let's look at each one.

Harper's - published in 1964. Not likely about conspiracy theories of the United States presidential election of 2016.
New York Times - There are zero NY Times citations in the article.
Washington Post - I guess you could mean either of two:

One is about a particular conspiracy theory: Hillary's neurological health. This one is the best source in the article you created about that rumor, Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor, which is presently snowballing at another AfD.
The other one is about a particular conspiracy theory: Trump as a plant to support Hillary.

Media Matters - Hannity said something about Hillary's health. Nothing here about the subject of this page. Just another example.
Snopes - Not a typical one to highlight, but again, there are two:

One is also about the Hillary neurological health conspiracy theory.
The other is also about Trump as a plant for Hillary.

Slate - Doesn't even mention anything being a conspiracy theory. It's about the specific example of the supposed Trump-Putin connection (which other sources have called a conspiracy theory). Still not about the subject of this page, though.
NBC News - Also doesn't mention "conspiracy theory". About the specific example of Trump's "rigged" election.
The Intercept - About the specific example of the Trump-Putin conspiracy theory.
Gawker - Two articles from Gawker, both about the specific example of Trump being a plant for Hillary.
Real Clear Politics - About the specific example of Hillary's neurological health.
Huffington Post - About the specific example of Trump being a plant for Hillary.

Not even one of these supports the notability of this page, which requires not a bunch of sources about a bunch of specific examples of stories that have been called conspiracy theories, but sources about the group that is "conspiracy theories of the 2016 election". — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:49, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Simply listing every reference in the article and then yelling "irrelevant!" doesn't do much to make your case. Sources do not need to (and rarely do they) reference the title of a WP article verbatim. That's not how this works. I'm shocked you believe it is. (Also, please dial it back to about a 9. Thanks.) LavaBaron (talk) 03:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a weird response (assuming it's neither disingenuous nor an intentional misrepresentation). Where have I said they need to reference the title of an article verbatim? They merely have to be about the subject of the article, and not simply about examples you've decided are part of a larger subject. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They're all directly about the subject of the article. The fact you're doubling down on the idea they're not, when anyone can click on any of them and read them, seems to be indicating you're either (A) hoping no one will, or, (B) claiming hey have to reference the subject by name. Which is sort-of ... odd. LavaBaron (talk) 05:07, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - encyclopedic, as long as we stay firm on good sourcing. I do appreciate this has stupendous potential as a foolishness magnet - David Gerard (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Rhododendrites's concise analysis of the sourcing. Keep this embarrassment away from here and leave it to the tinfoil side of the Internet, please. Nate • (chatter) 01:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Many RS have discussed the election's conspiracy theories collectively, in enough depth for WP:LISTN. All these articles are about multiple conspiracy theories: two on both sides, one about Trump-targeting ones, and three about Clinton-targeting ones.

Fox News Latino: discusses Trump plant theory and Putin agent theory, along with Trump campaign's support for various others
Chicago Tribune op-ed: "Donald Trump loves conspiracy theories. So do his foes." Describes many, on both sides, in detail
CBS: titled "A guide to the conspiracy theories about Donald Trump"
CNN: "the Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly amplified and offered roundabout endorsements to conspiracy theories"
NBC: titled "Trump's Conspiracy Theories Aren't Far Outside GOP Mainstream"
Slate (partisan): titled "The Real Meaning of All Those Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories About Hillary’s Health"

Together, there's enough material to justify a respectable introduction and summary to meet LISTN. FourViolas (talk) 05:37, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Those are substantially better than anything in the article currently. Might be enough for me -- will come back to this later. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:37, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let me tell you... if you want to get right to the bottom of something. a quality survey on a short schedule, FourViolas is the guy you want. E Eng 19:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, shucks. But here are a few more good ones if you're on the fence:

a NYT op-ed by Middle East foreign policy experts looks at the effect Trump's are already having in the Middle East
A WaPo news article ties them into other Middle East CTs.
The Daily Beast reports on a quantitative analysis of Trump's supporters' affinity for CT-related topics
Politico covers a meta-debate over the consequences and proper response to all this conspiracy theorizing.

Wondering if MjolnirPants noticed these when coming to the conclusion that "there are no sources discussing these theories as part of this election." FourViolas (talk) 19:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering if FourViolas ignored the rest of my post in favor of quoting the one part that could be taken out of context so easily. Not trying to be a dick, but seriously: my whole comment was about how we haven't hit the end of the conspiracy theories yet. More are all but guaranteed. It's not rocket surgery to assume I meant that particular sentence in the same context. Just to be clear, I've edited my original comment. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 19:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it was an honest question; it's easy to miss things, and you didn't mention them. But I don't understand the rest of your rationale. Since we do have RS analyzing and commenting on the phenomenon as a whole (so far), I don't see a policy-based reason to refrain from writing an article until the election season is over. You might as well say we should delete Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016, because there's no way to know what the long-term outcome or lingering effects will be. FourViolas (talk) 19:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...it's easy to miss things, and you didn't mention them. Fair enough, now let's not discuss that point any more. It won't advance this discussion and could turn things adversarial. As it is, I am writing with a smile on my face, so let's keep it that way.

You might as well say we should delete Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016, because there's no way to know what the long-term outcome or lingering effects will be. Yep. I'd vastly prefer to wait until the campaign was over to write that article. But (and of course, there's a but) that article doesn't have the potential for abuse and drama this one has, and that's a big factor in my vote. So I'll deal with having an article about her campaign before it's done because that's only going to attract the usual drama of random IPs adding weasel words and the occasional rabidly-anti-Hillary editor wanting to insert something about some conspiracy theory about her. The conspiracy theory article, on the other hand, is going to be a magnet for every far-right and far-left editor we have (and, given the nature of this election, a good chunk of the moderate-left and moderate-right editors) to butt heads over how to describe each conspiracy theory and how much weight to lend Every. Goddamned. Sentence. That smacking sound you hear, by the way, is me facepalming at the mere thought of all that drama. (it's a truly epic facepalm. The facepalm heard 'round the world, as it were.) However, if we wait until the election is done, we can at least point to sources analyzing the theories with the benefit of hindsight, making for sources which are much clearer in their tone and depictions, and not focused on debunking. That, then makes it easier for whichever editor is going by the source to win that particular fight. So at least they'll be quicker fights if we wait. I dread the thought of the drama on that talk page the week before election day if we keep it. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:13, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You got an honest laugh out of me, too! Thank you very much for the detailed explanation; I see where you're coming from, and the desire to protect the wiki from nightmarish election drama is a fair IARgument. I'm personally willing to cross my fingers, grit my teeth, and pray to the page protection gods, but you have a good point. FourViolas (talk) 22:20, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coming back to this, I'm still of the position that this should be deleted. While there are sources about people using conspiracy theories as a tactic, about there being a number of them out there this election cycle, etc. I'm still not seeing a distinct encyclopedic subject here -- not any more than we could pull sources together to create list of smears of the 2016 election, controversies of the 2016 election, lies of the 2016 election, etc. There are reliable sources about all of those, but the subjects discussed are actually tactics of the candidates and their supporters (i.e. the campaigns, the issues, and in rare cases the specific controversies/conspiracies/smears/scandals/whatever other style of coats we might put on a rack). I want to add, as well, that the content of the article is basically a recreation of two of LavaBaron's other articles -- one deleted (Clinton brain damage conspiracy theory), one still up (Trump plant theory) -- and almost nothing else. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:45, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – This provides a useful destination to document outlandish claims, hopefully preventing the repeated badgering of the main election articles and endless discussions about notability, sourcing and due weight of such claims in main articles. — JFG ^talk 11:25, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete per WP:TOOSOON. Should this article exist at some point? Absolutely. By this time next year, if this article doesn't exist, I'll be the one to re-create it. But right now? No. Not just "No," but "Hell no." The election season isn't even close to being done yet. There's no way to analyze patterns or view this subject as a whole until then. We can't discuss the lingering effects of them at all. Hell, just making the article is a weak form of WP:SYNTH, as there are no sources discussing [the totality of] these theories as part of this election. The only purpose this article can serve is to debunk the conspiracy theories contained therein. While I am a huge (YUUUUUUGE) fan of debunkings, WP is just not the place for it. let's leave it to the fact checkers until we have some RSs commenting on the phenomenon as a whole. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 13:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MjolnirPants not sure I agree yet, but you have some valid points I'm going to marinate on and reconsider my own !vote in light of; thanks for providing such a thorough comment and rationale. LavaBaron (talk) 17:24, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm inclined to keep, you have a point that this is going to be a major foolishness magnet - David Gerard (talk) 18:06, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A "foolishness magnet" is exactly what we need to focus such allegations in an easily-manageable space; this will save countless headaches elsewhere. Besides it is encyclopedic in demonstrating the absurdity of fringe theories on both sides of this political choice. — JFG ^talk 14:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're assuming that there's a finite pool of foolishness into which this article will dip, drawing foolishness from other articles. I, on the other hand, hold as gospel truth that (almost certainly apocryphal) old 'Einstein' quote. "Only two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ONEWAY is a powerful tool for shooing fringe theorists away from main articles and towards this one. This one can in turn be handled using already-established discretionary sanctions, including protection. WP has taken on human stupidity in the past, and...well, mostly survived. FourViolas (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That still doesn't address my point (which I admit I implied instead of stating). I don't think that one article being a hotbed of drama is going to tamp down on the drama going on anywhere else. I've seen with my own eyes how an editor involved in one case of drama can get just as caught up in one or more other cases of drama. I mean, seriously: Do we really think that adding an article ripe for controversy (while dampening our ability to appeal to our Almighty Lord of All, the Reliable Source (hallowed be their urls)) is going to make for less controversy? MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 18:21, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There appears to be a strong consensus (!16-4-2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor to delete that page, which was copied-and-pasted by the author to a section on this article as a way to circumvent that AFD. It is inappropriate for that material to be removed by consensus yet stay against that decision just because it's in a collective topic article, nor should we have to discuss it again. This could be summarized int a couple sentences in another article. Reywas92^Talk 19:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Pinged here above. Article clearly passes PROFRINGE, only question is if it is WP:SYNTH? My read is no. BlueSalix (talk) 23:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- WP:TOOSOON (Wikipedia is not a newspaper; let's have things settle down). I believe that synthesis & coatrack applies as well, and quite POV. I also concur with the arguments presented at [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor]] -- WP is not a place for unsubstantiated rumors even if they have been debunked. This borders on BLS violation, along with NPOV. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - If you take away the lead sentence and the para about a 1964 essay (which none of the sources used even mention), you have over 80% of the content left being devoted to Clinton. That same content about Clinton was recently deleted in another AfD. I don't see any reason to retain it here either. And the WaPo ref is still being misquoted, which implies that some of the conspiracy theories may have merit.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 20:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just addressed most of those concerns, but they're all content-related. Do you have an opinion on the inherent notability of the topic?FourViolas (talk) 22:01, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I think WP:PROFRINGE applies here. Which means this is simply a bunch of fringe theories that, if they were unsourced, would automatically be deleted. However, there are reliable sources available. At this point, I'm leaning merge and condense the information into United States presidential election, 2016 (otherwise, it'll just inspire editors to add more conspiracy theories that can be defamatory). epicgenius (talk) 22:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Otherwise, it will inspire a flood of similar articles for every election and ballot measure at every level of government worldwide. It's pretty easy to use Google to research this topic. 5Q5 (talk) 12:16, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It's reliably sourced, even though it's theories. Google is not really a good place to "just" research on any topic, much less this one... epicgenius (talk) 16:43, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I edited the article a bit to remove intricate detail and off topic content (diff). The article is still a bit "pulp journalism" so not changing to a Keep vote yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep -- friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come not to praise Wikipedia but to bury its astonish pro-conservative bias. There is an article on the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama is a Muslim, an article on the conspiracy theory that Obama is a Kenyan, an article on thr conspiracy theory that Obama is the antichrist for crying out loud, yet our ultra-conservative, white "nationalist" ('we're the only ones not allowed to have ethnic pride!" Wailed the poor deeply opressed white men who run this cabal) overlords refuse an omnibus article on the many, many, many, many well-sourced and yet to be disproven Trump conspiracy theories?

- Did someone say "foolishness magnet"? We're already hosting Hitler comparisons. A source mentioned it, so I guess it belongs? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:48, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article is a WP:POVFORK that serves to highlight information that would be WP:UNDUE in articles about the individuals. There would be no problem having a conspiracy theory article about presidential elections in general, providing it was based on secondary sources with an analysis of each "theory" and its long-term significance to those on each side. The reason there are Obama conspiracy theory articles is that the attacks on Obama have been long term—many of them were started in an attempt to sway the 2008 election, and are half heartedly continued today. The 2016 election article is a list of attacks mounted by one side against the other, and there should not be an article with a list of news-of-the-day reports/blogs on them. Anything significant should be in an article on the individual or the individual's election campaign. Johnuniq (talk) 00:46, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:DEL14. I think this article began as a good-faith effort to describe (with support from reliable sources) conspiracy theories that have been floating around. However, over the last few days, things have gotten out of hand at this article and it now includes claims that Trump is "Putin's patsy" and that Trump is the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler. Furthermore, as other editors have noted already, a large section of the article was copied and pasted from another recently-deleted article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor). I am not opposed to re-creating this article (or articles about the specific theories) in due time once commentators have provided enough commentary about the history, significance, or impact of the existence of these theories, but right now, I think it is best to delete this article. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:33, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I think the article is becoming a parody page (diff), and is best deleted. Here's a sample, in case the article gets wiped out:

"An extraordinary interdisciplinary consensus of psychologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, neuroscientists, clinical social workers, psychiatric nurses, neurologists, therapists, psychometricians, and other mental health professionals have expressed their worries that, in their professional opinion, Trump suffers from a serious, disabling mental illness-- of an order of magnitutde greater than the usual low-level mental disturbance required to enter politics. This view has also been voiced, and endorsed, by prominent laypersons. According to a widely published report, Trump requires an extraordinarily potent cocktail of mind-altering drugs and a round-the-clock regimen of psychoanalysis to manage his fragile psyche."^[1]

Delete This looks like a coatrack. I question how many of these items individually could stand on their own. I note, as linked above several times, Hilary's Neurological condition theory has had an article based off of it deleted. The Election rigging theory doesn't even seem to be a conspiracy theory but random comments by Trump on how he could possible lose and commentary based off of it. Does "Conspiracy theories of the United states presidential election, 2016" have any notability in itself? I'm not convinced it meets GNG.

Comment: I concur with the above. As written, the article appears to be about "Media coverage of conspiracy theories (...)", not about the theories themselves. The topic is ill defined and is not suitable for an encyclopedia article yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps in a year or two there may be RS about "Conspiracy theories of the United states presidential election, 2016" as a topic, but right now it feels like a coatrack to hang deleted content and sundry press reports on, and a magnet for fringe/partisan stuff floating around the internet.

The rest are simply an invitation to POV pushers to add their favorite. And if you agree that's happening now - just wait a month. --MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, if you look at the sources, virtually all of them specifically address these as conspiracy theories; we haven't assigned that moniker to these and then just strung them together. So, no, it's not SYNTH. For instance, this Politico article titled " The 5 Most Dangerous Conspiracy Theories of 2016" [1] etc. LavaBaron (talk) 04:10, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let's say 5 sources publish articles with titles like "Top 10 Models of 2016", with 8 of the names the same across all 5 articles. That wouldn't justify us having a "Top 10 Models of 2016" article. E Eng 04:53, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. E Eng 05:00, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I think the synth in question is the taking of 5 different X's, from 5 different sources, and combining that into List of X's. (I had absurdly hoped that we would actually have an article called "List of X's", but nope. It's a redlink. Sigh.) Each X might be sourced independently, but that means there are no sources talking about the List of X's, except Wikipedia. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 05:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but no idea what you just said. Each example listed here has been positively identified as a "conspiracy theory" by multiple RS. LavaBaron (talk) 05:23, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, how to explain this... Synthesis of information is a very nuanced subject. What he's saying is (I believe) that we lack sources discussing the phenomenon of conspiracy theories in respect to this election. We also lack sources discussing the combined aspects of those conspiracy theories that have popped up in this election. No-one is suggesting that calling them conspiracy theories itself is synth, but rather that having an article about them as a whole is. Now, this particular problem has an easy solution: make an article about each conspiracy theory. That wouldn't be synth. But having an article about all of them as a phenomenon (which is what this article is) requires us to analyze them as a whole, rather than reporting what RSs say about them. Do you get what I mean? MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 12:46, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Conspiracy theories are a subject academic study, and the 1964 source used in the article, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics," is a classic article by Richard Hofstadter. In order to identify conspiracy theories one needs expert sources, not Wikipedia editors or journalists who overuse the term. Most of these theories are better referred to as unfounded rumors. Also, to write an article about conspiracy theories in the election, one would need to establish that it is a notable topic, not that any particular theory was notable. Such a source would explain why these theories are conspiracy theories rather than just label them. TFD (talk) 07:37, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, so how about renaming the page to "Unfounded rumors in the US presidential election, 2016"? — JFG ^talk 11:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Way to early to speculate whether "vast right wing conspiracies" are conspiracies or a tactic to dismiss issues. Either way, the article is disparaging to many living people and skewed to whoever the last editor is. Regardless, discussing things like Hillary's health when multiple doctors have weighed in is a BLP violation to disparage their opinion as a conspiracy theory regardless of whether it is Clinton's doctor or a news medical expert. Too much marginalizing language makes it a massive POV and BLP violation. --DHeyward (talk) 10:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Needs work, but is reliably sourced and notable. A good structure for an article that deserves to be on Wikipedia. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 11:12, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete regrettably, because a lot of work has gone into this and it will be useful in the future. A concrete analogy is needed to show why this is synthesis. President of the US is a good analogy I believe. The article President of the United States is about the role, function and history of the office of President. List of US Presidents provides us with a list and brief summary of each person to have filled the role. The individual bios give a detailed examination of each president. This article tries to do all three, the drawback being there is no role or history to talk about yet. So it provides a list of conspiracy theories plus goes into detail about each one.

Looking at our present article, I am sure that after the election there will be academic discussion about what role these theories had in affecting the outcome of the election. The theories about the winner will live on; some will believe Clinton cheated if she wins, or others will continue to question Trump's ties with Putin if he wins. Ultimately, the truly relevant and notable theories will have their own articles, a list of them may be necessary depending on their number, plus an article under the current title will exist to discuss the effect these theories did or did not have. But until the dust has settled, this article in its current state is synthesising too many things under one umbrella. Move it to user space for now, because I'm certain it will be useful in the not too distant future. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't pass WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. Even if his role in Arrow is considered significant (which it's not, since it was a one-off appearance), that's only one role and NACTOR calls for several. He had recurring appearances in TV shows Connected, Saints & Sinners, and Desire, but I can't determine if they were particularly notable roles. Additionally, almost all references to him I can find online are cast listings or synopses of works he's been in, nothing to show actual notability. clpo13_(talk) 18:28, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- To expand on the three TV shows I mentioned earlier: Saints & Sinners and Desire were canceled before airing all of their episodes (Saints & Sinners, for instance, looks like it aired 22 out of 62 total, based on information at TV.com and IMDb). Both shows were also a product of MyNetworkTV, whose scripted shows flopped so bad that they quit the original programming business entirely. Connected looks promising (since he was the lead, according to IMDb), but I have found absolutely no information on it, even when filtering out Morgan Spurlock's show of the same name. The same problem exists for Saints & Sinners, which shares a name with a more recent show. It's almost impossible to show that Galletti had significant roles on these shows when I can hardly find any information on the shows themselves. clpo13_(talk) 23:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, ..." Galletti seems to have appeared in 14 episodes of Desire (TV series), 9 episodes of Saints & Sinners (2007 TV series), and was lead in the less well-known comedy TV series Connected (which survived for two seasons, so wasn't a complete flop). I accept that these are sourceable principally to IMDb, which lists 51 credits for Galletti, but does anyone seriously contest his part in these, even if further sources should be sought? WP:Notability doesn't require the sources to appear in the article, only that they exist per WP:NEXIST, or are likely to exist per WP:NPOSSIBLE - remember this article is just a fortnight old. --RexxS (talk) 22:40, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete RexxS uses the guideline quote: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, ..." and lists the shows this actor has been in as proof of notability. But the guideline states significant roles. Everything that this guy has been in, besides "Connected" has been background roles, even the shows where he's appeared multiple times. "Connected" is not a notable show, as I cannot find anything outside of its IMDB listing on Google, so that doesn't meet the multiple notable films, television shows provision of the guideline either. Valeince (talk) 20:52, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. IMDb is not a reliable or notability-conferring source, for the purposes of getting a person over a Wikipedia inclusion rule — it's permitted to be there as an external link, but its presence does not make an article referenced enough to be kept (although it is enough to justify AFD over prod as the vector of deliberation over the article's includability or lack thereof.) And neither NACTOR nor GNG is passed by unsourcedly listing a bunch of roles that a person has played — it's passed by showing evidence that the actor has received reliable source coverage in media for the playing and the majorness of those roles. But nothing written or sourced here shows that at all. Bearcat (talk) 19:13, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral -- Change from Delete; Original comment: The only claim of notability is the White Bandit so-called controversy; but this appears to be trivial and not meeting CORPDEPTH. Other than that, the article reads as advertorial: "Will ultimately choose to begin to design and produce his own, more accurate minifigure accessories, running the company from the Chapmans' garage in Redmond, Washington and packing orders in the family's bonus room.[5]". This subject does not meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:52, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Compared to most of the "corporate spam" articles, this one has much better sourcing, and the company was profiled in a book by a Wired journalist, who calls it "the long tail of Lego". So I'm withdrawing my Delete vote. I'm still not sure if the coverage is sufficient for an encyclopedia entry, but compared to what passes for an article on Wikipedia, this is one of the better ones.

Keep. The article should probably be semi-protected to keep the COI editors out. Anyway, promotional tone can be fixed by editing, and I just did a quick pass through the article cleaning it up.

Comment The article doesn't have a lot of significant independent coverage in independent reliable sources, but I think Duncan is more notable (and better known) than many of the martial artists who have articles. If you look at [14], you'll see a number of covers and articles about or by him. I don't have copies of these magazines so I can't confirm the coverage is significant, but it could be. I voted to keep this article at the original AfD discussion, but I'm sitting on the fence right now. There is some coverage and I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I can't unreservedly confirm there's the coverage needed to meet WP:GNG.

Comment Definitely, it does: The poem is a cry for help to the Yugoslav people to stop the German persecution on Sorbs in Lusatia. Now, about the notability. It was translated into Serbian and published in Летопис Матице српске - Volume 323 1930 - Page 264. First published in his book of poetry "Drobjence" ("The Crumbs") in 1920, then in Jan Skala, Ludowe nakładnistwo Domowina, 1985, mentioned/published in two other books (Peter Jan Joachim Kroh: Nationalistische Macht und nationale Minderheit: Jan Skala (1889-1945) : ein Sorbe in Deutschland, Robert Elsie: Anthology of Sorbian poetry: from the sixteenth century to the present day : a rock against these alien waves, UNESCO/Forest Books, 1990 )--Vujkovica brdo (talk) 14:52, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Jan Skala. The work is not individually notable per available sources. The fact that it appeared in an anthology is not sufficient to explain why this poem is notable.

List of phobias[edit]

This supposed list has two problems. First, it is actually two lists. There's something to be said for the lists of prejudice "phobias" but it doesn't belong here. Second, the first list is out of step with current clinical practice. These are all specific phobias, but with rare exceptions these words are a function of people making up names for particular things to be afraid of. By and large they only exist in a few books/websites which contain such a list, and people copying from said works. We shouldn't be doing that copying. Mangoe (talk) 18:19, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per WP:LISTN. This is a list of notable phobias. Perhaps cutting down on phobias that don't really exist, or clearly defining phobias in the article would better serve the problems you addressed.Sheepythemouse (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What does it mean to say that any of them exist? If you said, "I'm afraid of lizards", and I said, "clearly you have lacertophobia", well, your fear is real enough, but "lacertophobia" is just a word which may or may not be in some list somewhere. The point is that the name for all of them is "specific phobia"; people can make up lists of names and put them in books, but psychologists don't use those names, as far as I can tell, and from the point of view of diagnosis and possible treatment, one is like unto another. You can see this in the articles, many of list have the definition and then the same boilerplate text about phobias in general. Mangoe (talk) 20:08, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that this is a list of notable phobias, or that it should be. I'm not sure that the list should exist at all, but if it does exist it should be a list of verifiable phobias. Specifically, a list page like this is a good place to collect entries that are found to be verifiable and worthy of mention in the encyclopedia, but which aren't notable enough to merit having an article of their own.--Srleffler (talk) 02:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since it's a list of notable phobias, and the list is useful for navigating between articles on the phobias. The "actually two lists" problem can be solved with a split (I'm not opposed to it, but I'm unsure if it's necessary). If there are any phobias that are "made-up," then the article for that phobia should be nominated for deletion, not this list. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:20, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The contention is that it is not a list of notable phobias, because specific fears are not as a rule notable. Mangoe (talk) 21:49, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but there are plenty of phobias that are notable, and those are the ones that are listed. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:57, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are very few phobias that are notable as individual fears. Most of these seem to have been made up as a project in giving everything a name, but clinically everything here falls under specific phobia. Mangoe (talk) 15:21, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:LISTN. This is a well-formed list-based article with notability as an inclusion criteria, where notability of a specific phobia is based on having an article on WP. Clinical current practice regarding phobias is important and should be discussed somewhere on WP, but it doesn't have any bearing the notability of particular historical phobias--in each case notability depends on availability of reliable sources per WP:V and WP:GNG. Non-notable phobias (Quite a few such articles are currently up for deletion) can be cleaned from the list as needed. --Mark viking (talk) 23:31, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We can rename this "list of specific phobias" if need be, or we can also split off separate pages for the "prejudice" phobias (e.g. homophobia), but this article does satisfy WP:LSC (reliable sources describe these as legitimate terms for specific phobias) and WP:SALAT (the scope of the list is manageable). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:05, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Partial Keep. Contrary to many editors above, I assert that this should be a list of verifiable phobias, not necessarily notable ones. One of the ways a list like this can add value is by covering entries that are worth a mention, but not worthy of having an article of their own. Per Wikipedia policy, every entry on the list must be verifiable. I would strongly support narrowing the focus to make it List of specific phobias, and requiring that every entry be supported by a reliable medical source, either in the list itself or in a linked article. In some cases, articles on individual specific phobias could be replaced by redirects to the list, if the article doesn't add any information beyond the list entry and specific phobia. --Srleffler (talk) 02:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This list is used to show definition of many phobias in one page, specifically fear of..., as well as navigation to phobia articles via links. I'm against renaming this page to list of specific phobias nor list of veritable phobias to keep the title plain. I'm alright to split off prejudicial phobias, but I would rather oppose splitting.

Here is the problem: what happens when this gets reduced to a relatively small number of entries which can be justified on the basis of common popular usage? At that point, it makes more sense to fold it back into the main article, where it can perhaps be defended. As long as it is a separate article, passers-by and "always improvers" will keep trying to copy the couple of lists that are out there back into the article, because that is what one does to list articles.

Keep - I added better content with a couple of more sources, including a couple of CEO interviews, and removed anything that could be considered advertising. The article has gone from being nominated for deletion due to being advertorial and weakly sourced with three items to better with nine, and less advertorial. I read WP:CORPDEPTH and don't think any of these sources are routine, brief, passing or simple references. Please clarify your interpretation(s) so I know what you are referring to. The whole article now comes from this independent media coverage.Timtempleton (talk) 22:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the things you mention - funding, interviews, financing, etc. - are what usually makes a business notable. I agree that the relocation to the historic building is more notable for nearby residents familiar with the sign, but I'll leave it in. Being listed as a top ten vendor in the SaaS space and an emerging vendor to watch by two different noted tech pubs suggest this is a refimprove candidate rather than a delete, but let's see what others think.Timtempleton (talk) 23:52, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will simply note that several other AfDs have noted that while a considerable amount of such coverage could be notable and acceptable, it's still not convincing enough for notability as that's also simply information about its activities and there has been consensus showing this is also advert-like such as for enticing investors and clients. SwisterTwister talk 00:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- the article is currently neutrally worded which is an improvement. But the sources remain weak and the coverage does not raise to the level of CORPDEPTH. There are also trivial industry awards, and funding and product news, i.e. WP:ROUTINE.

However, I'm seeing discussions on the product in Google books, such as [Sarbanes-Oxley IT Compliance Using Open Source Tools by Christian B Lahti, Roderick Peterson and Adaptable and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems edited by Sherry Y. Chen, George D. Magoulas, among others. So it looks to me that the product may be notable, while the company is not. Edit: some of what comes up in Google Books may not be about this company / product (i.e. eLearning environment, my last link), But the SOX content is about the subject since it includes the URL of the company.

I fail to see how that at all passes the notability guideline. Neither is significant in its coverage and neither provides any real world information. They're just both fiction/setting guides for games. It certainly passes WP:V, but it's a huge stretch to say it comes anywhere near passing WP:N. It seems more like you're objecting for the sake of objecting. There are no exact procedural rules, so saying there's really no justification in saying this is somehow premature in procedure. Procedurally, this shouldn't have ever been created in the first place without fitting proper criteria to split it out from a parent article. TTN (talk) 19:35, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- A fictional element showing up in derivative games IS real-world impact. Jclemens (talk) 04:36, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - They're using these characters under some kind of license from WotC, so I'm really not sure if those even truly count as secondary. Even if that is the case, you're missing the significant coverage part. "Character x appears in game y by company z" is trivial at best, and it's certainly not enough to hold an article on its own. It's no better than "character x appears in game y by 'parent company'" in terms of establishing notability. TTN (talk) 17:48, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Are they? It's an interesting assertion, but even if true wouldn't impair independence. Fictional elements used in other games aren't trivial references, because they are part of the game experience. I'm not sure what you're thinking by saying that, because the quote you're using as a template/example isn't what's happening here. Jclemens (talk) 04:26, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Citing that the character exists in a game is completely trivial in both the standards of the source and the standards of sourcing an article. It is literally just saying "this topic exists", that it is one of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of fictional minutia that make up the body of a larger work. It's no different from someone claiming something like "the character is mentioned in these eight analytical books", but each one is nothing but a single namedrop used in reference to the actual subject of the page. Both are completely worthless as sources. You'd have a point if this single character was handpicked from D&D for inclusion in another game, and that the status of being handpicked was documented in a reliable source. TTN (talk) 14:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        What, you want an entire game centered around a particular fictional element in order for it to be notable? I know we disagree on notability of fictional elements, but that seems a preposterously high level of coverage to demand. I find what we have demonstrated in this case sufficient. Jclemens (talk) 04:50, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        You're talking about one of many trivial characters in an essentially copied and pasted D&D setting under an official license. This single character is not at all special or notable in its inclusion. Looking at just the "Tome of Horrors Revised" index, there are 50-ish demons (out of 400 monsters), all of which I put into Google are directly ported from D&D. As far as I can tel, all or the great majority of the 400 monsters included in that book are also directly ported. That is truly the definition of trivial when comparing that single character to the entire scope of that publisher's work. If you truly think every single one of those warrants an article due to that, then the difference between our two viewpoints is too great for further discussion to have any merit.

Merge. I respectfully disagree with Jclemens; I'm not sure that appearing in third-party games establishes notability any more than a character's cameo in some other work establishes notability.

Keep He doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN, but he does meet WP:GNG. He's notable because of all of the substantial coverage in reliable, secondary sources he got. It's all cited in the article, so I don't feel any need to source dump here. I doubt he would've gotten that coverage if he was anybody else's son, but the same could be said for any number of people and that doesn't make them any less notable (see for example, Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton). – Muboshgu (talk) 19:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the reunion seems to have led to a five-track EP, made with crowdfunding support. There's a couple of paragraphs about them reuniting on page 61 of the January 2015 issue of HM magazine, which focuses on Christian metal, but nothing substantive. KaisaL's comments in the first AfD nomination just a month ago seem sensible enough: the article really needs the attention of editors who know more about this music genre. If it is kept, I do think the articles on their two albums should probably be merged into the band article. Richard3120 (talk) 20:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Narrow keep. Band does appear to have been prominent enough in their brief run to justify inclusion. It's not a ground-breaking source of course, but the fact their albums have double-figure reviews on Amazon from the early 2000s is a good base indicator of prominence at the time, and if it had been ten years later I think there'd be much more reliable material. One other website here states, "Christian Rock fans from the early to mid 2000's will surely remember the band Justifide". While again I do not take this source as especially significant, it's the sort of generic content that leads me to believe this band should be included - and that the issue may just be that their early split makes it difficult to find verifiable content. It might be worth pinging any experts we may have on Christian rock music. KaisaL (talk) 03:58, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with a comment. The band does not have a large entry in the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music.

Hello, my name is George Smart, executive director of the architecture nonprofit North Carolina Modernist Houses. We've researched biographies of 200 North Carolina architects, like Bill Campbell, involved in the mid-century Modernist movement. We'd like to start posting their histories to Wikipedia. All have passed away, so we don't run afoul of policies regarding living persons. Just like basketball and barbeque, North Carolina has a huge tradition of innovative residential architecture. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.17.168.100 (talk) 17:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

George, may I suggest that you take any articles you would like to create through the wp:Articles for creation process. There you would have learned that you cannot have an article without references, and you would have had a chance to fix that without risking deletion. Userfy.

Delete All of the coverage is the standard music blog/website stuff that involves sharing streams of new songs. It's essentially placement secured by PR agencies that send press releases to secure almost copy-and-paste style coverage. Bo Rocha is represented, I believe, by Inside Slash Out, who have some quite prominent clients that make it in such website's best interests to plug their newer artists. But it's irrelevant coverage and a case of WP:TOOSOON at best. KaisaL (talk) 03:08, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be arguing that the sources cited are not WP:INDEPENDENT and that there's been a WP:COI in the development of this article. Do you have any evidence to back these assertions? ~Kvng (talk) 15:12, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Coverage in three music magazines or their associate websites cited in article. These appear to be reliable sources. Although coverage is brief, it is not trivial and so meets WP:SIGCOV. Don't overthink things people, just follow the notability guidelines. ~Kvng (talk) 14:47, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Considering you're trying to distinguish "brief" from "trivial" for purposes of determining notability, I don't think you're the best person to tell others not to overthink. I'd also point out that you deprodded this in the first place, so it's more about "make me right" than "follow the guidelines" - there are at least three other people who disagree with you. MSJapan (talk) 17:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I beleive there's an important difference between brief and trivial. Publication of a brief piece about the subject is potential evidence of notability. A trivial mention in a piece about another subject is not evidence of notability per WP:SIGCOV. This discussion is about consensus, not !vote counting. Your position here, which seems to be more about me personally and WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE than deletion policy, does not help build consensus. ~Kvng (talk) 15:12, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the problem is that you don't understand the notability policy in the subject area, and repointing it as a "personal problem" isn't going to address that deficiency. An actually notable artist doesn't need to rely solely on subjective judgment of "brief" vs "trivial" in relation to coverage; there are 12 criteria for a reason, and failing 11 of them is a pretty strong indication of a lack of notability. The reason being, if an artist objectively charts or wins an award, or releases several albums on a major label, or get s a song in a film, they get more coverage as a result of that exposure. So going the other way around and saying that an artist is notable solely for getting (semantics aside) "minimal coverage", despite not having major releases, winning awards, getting on the charts, or anything else besides some hype is really a pretty weak argument. MSJapan (talk) 16:36, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting any of the 12 points in WP:NMUSIC establishes notability. Achieving this by meeting WP:GNG (point #1) makes a strong argument, in my opinion. ~Kvng (talk) 15:34, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if the brief mentions met GNG, which they do not. MSJapan (talk) 18:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You've called coverage "trivial". The only policy that I can think of that would exclude "trivial" coverage is the "trivial mention" discussed in WP:SIGCOV. I do not beleive that applies here as the sources are about the subject, not a mention-in-passing of the subject while covering something else. It's fine if we disagree about this but I don't really understand your position and would like to know what policies you are using to support it. ~Kvng (talk) 21:15, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm sorry but this is a far cry from passing GNG. Firstly all 3 sources are really brief - like the only information we get is that she is a singer who released this album. Out of the 5 sources in the article I found 2 are repeat links, so essentially we have 3 sources. Of of these 3, this is essentially rehashing Fader. The other coverage is in Vice. Bot the Fader and Vice coverage hardly talk about the person - in fact they are the kind of brief press releases (4-5 sentences long) which are sent out to various music websites. Searching more, I see similar content on other "online music sites". Its pretty clear these are press releases sent out en masse. The subject btw wouldn't pass WP:MUSICBIO by any chance. I also feel this is WP:TOOSOON considering that the subject only launched the first work in November 2015. Delete as fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:27, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, while he is noted for one incident, it is a rather major incident with national coverage referring to his involvement in breaking the story. There are many more sources than the one in the article. See [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26] and he was interviewed about this on the O'Reilly Factor. Notable under WP:BASIC, with note that WP:ONEEVENT says "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." A major story in the 2016 US presidential campaign is highly significant and his role within it is large. The article certainly needs expansion. MB 18:48, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep or~~ merge to Graham Barnfield. The main source appears to be a print source, and given this group was active in the 80s and 90s, I am not surprised that Google is light. I'd AGF on the print source. At the very least, merge and preserve the article history in case someone wants to do more work on it. Montanabw^(talk) 06:30, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin: the "print source" that I believe is being referred to above, "The Mish-MASH Dictionary of Marmite", is about the food spread Marmite; there is no indication to be found that it even mentions this band, and we obviously can't "AGF" that it offers significant coverage of the band, because 1) It's given as a "see also" entry, not a reference, so even the article itself isn't claiming it supports notability; and 2) as we all know, AGF is about editor behavior, and is a complete non-sequitur when it comes to establishing the validity of references. One would expect someone using the book as an argument for keeping to have checked on that first, since it totally invalidates the case being made. Regardless, the count of reliable+significant coverage sources remains at zero. I would remind everyone that misrepresentation is not only likely to result in trouble (especially when it's a pattern), it's also a very unsuccessful strategy for garnering support in an AfD, where, of course, the validity of arguments is what matters. —swpb^T 12:55, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Again with the personalized commentary. 1) was enough. 2) is a personal attack. I still say merge, no sense leaving a redlink for the article to be created again. Montanabw^(talk) 04:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - The redlink is not a viable concern either, since, as you can check for yourself, there is exactly one link in mainspace to this band, and it's from the band's one apparently independently notable member. The value of the edit history is the same as the likelihood that this decades-ago band will gain future notability; that is to say, not high enough to be worth discussing. —swpb^T 12:48, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Merging helps preserve article history and avoids AfD, round 3, 4 and 5. I'm moving my !vote to Merge, as I feel that is the most appropriate outcome here. Montanabw^(talk) 16:39, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - I just explained that there is no value in preserving this article's history or content, because it's not notable. You didn't respond to that at all. You've still given no valid reason for your position. —swpb^T 17:38, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        You mistake content for subject. An article subject has to be notable; article content merely has to be verifiable, a much lower bar. If content is properly merged into another, already-notable, article, there is no requirement that such content be "notable", but there is a requirement that it is attributed. Does that clarify it for you? --RexxS (talk) 22:28, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Graham Barnfield. The band isn't independently notable, IMHO, but it's quite usual to include some details of a band in the biography of a notable band-member. Not all of the article content needs to be merged in, but the MusicBrainz source is often used in music articles as reliable for discographies, etc. so there's definitely enough verifiable material to make a merge with attribution worthwhile. --RexxS (talk) 19:42, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Having reviewed the edit history, I was surprised to find that of the 55 edits, not a single one by a registered editor added any content. It seems that any of the content may be merged without requiring attribution in this case because we cannot accurately attribute to IPs.--RexxS (talk) 22:44, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Graham Barnfield.

A previous version of this article was deleted following AfD five days ago. Note also this comment that the revised article takes account of the AfD discussion. The most substantial source is the 2008 Simon Holloway article on the firm and its product set: I don't know whether that was under consideration in the previous AfD. I also added reference to an earlier shorter piece from Israel Business Today. Routine announcements can also be found (such as the dividend notice also referenced in the article). My own view is neutral, and while reticent about weighing down the AfD log with yet another entry, procedurally I feel that the proximity in time since the previous AfD should trigger reconsideration to either confirm or override its decision.

Comment - The article has not actually substantially changed regarding convincing substance, the listed links are still too bare and none of it comes close to insinuating independent notability.

Week keep. Foreign language refs are totally acceptable. This should be considered through policies such as WP:NSPORT. The article states "multiple medals" ("During her career she won three medals in the world championships seniors, six European Championships medals in different age categories (including two European Championships seniors), and 29 Polish Championship medals:"), so probably notable. pl:Anna Lewandowska wiki has more details, seems like she got Bronze and Silver medal in some international competitions and some gold in European ones, through since NSPORT does not mention karate I cannot say whether that suffices, hence my week keep. PS. Most of the coverage I see in Polish media is from gossip/celebrity magazines due to her marriage to a notable sport figure, through whether that helps much given notability is not inherited, and the low reliability of gossip magazines, that's another story. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:13, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:NSPORT doesn't mention Karate, but that is immaterial because Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. World championship medals clearly meet the spirit of that guideline, and the first of the references in the article, which is far from "unclear", confirms that Lewandowska is a world championship medallist. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:33, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article created by paid editor and expanded by another paid editor. Prod removed by article creator (paid editor). Article is referenced to two press releases, a primary source, and a commercial site listing it as the best (of two) agencies in Teheran. It is a small (8 employees apparently) company which has apparently received one award and most importantly no significant attention in reliable, independent sources, as required by WP:CORP.

Delete Fails GNG. Only in death does duty end (talk) 12:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is 1st article of mine to be created as a paid editor. I have created more than 50 notable articles before that and I know what WP:CORP is. I've written it from WP:NPOV. Whereas other paid editor is concerned, he was hired to make name correction in page. I took this paid project just because it is notable and needs to be created. It is only Iranian agency to be member of AAAA, moreover it is awarded by Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. The article does require further references to verify, doesn't mean we AfD it. Umais Bin Sajjad (talk) 03:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Being the first Iranian member of the AAAA is not giving any notability if it hasn't been extensively remarked upon in the press (excluding press releases). The AAAA is a trade association, not a Hall of Fame. For the award, it is very unclear how often it is given, i.e. how exceptional it is, and again whether it has gotten any attention. As I couldn't find other good references for this, AfD is exactly the way to go. Please, in the future if you make new articles as a paid editor, use the Draft namespace instead where neutral editors can check your work. Fram (talk) 06:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep Clearly passes WP:GNG and also meets Wikipedia notability standards. Most of content is covered by references.New baba (talk) 21:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- In what way does it "clearly" pass GNG? There is not a single source there that establish notability, the sources are two press releases, a listing on a trade association, and a listing as one of two Teheran-based agencies in a commercial site. Fram (talk) 07:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - If this is to be kept then it needs to be on the basis of notability in Iran, rather than via the cultural cringe of being the first Iranian agency to be a member of an American trade association. Does it have significant coverage in independent reliable sources in Persian? I note fron another discussion that the article creator appears to think that sources have to be in English. That is not so. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:45, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sir this is Wikipedia English so need to have English references in order to understand & review by neutral user. Are you trying to say that I should've add persian references so that a reviewer has to translate the whole article in english & find the part where it mentions "Zigma8" and what about it. I know as per WP:VUE english is preferred that's what I've done.
      - My comment was intended to help you save this article. Evidence of notability in Iran, by means of significant coverage in independent reliable sources in any language, will count for a lot more than being a member of an American trade association. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:42, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A biography of an alternative health/fitness coach; the article was created by one new editor and another has twice removed maintenance tags concerning notability, advertising tone and unreliable sources. Searches, including the customised Indian newspaper search, are returning nothing about this person. That leaves the given references: there are primary sources such as articles the subject has written on a "Red Elephant Foundation" blog and New Age Wellness World, a short promotional piece at "META-Health University" and a Youtube clip showing the subject working at a Mrs India event. None of these strike me as reliable 3rd party sources. The most substantial appears to be the article about the subject on an "Incredible Women of India" blog, which is bylined. At most, these confirm the subject as someone going about her business, whose wares are promoted in the article; I see nothing to demonstrate biographical notability to merit inclusion in an encyclopaedia.

Mandarin as a Heritage Language in Toronto[edit]

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

Delete. As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Italian Heritage Language in Toronto, this is a poorly sourced WP:ESSAY with some POV undertones about a topic that doesn't warrant its own standalone article. There are just seven sources here, of which five are primary ones -- such as raw demographic stats, job listings on a jobs board and the self-published websites of community institutions -- which cannot assist notability at all, and the two citations that actually count as reliable sources are both about the Chinese Canadian community in general rather than having any content about anything specific to Toronto, so even the RSes here don't actually support the topic. I can find no other cases, besides the one I mentioned above that's already been deleted, where we have any "specific language in individual city" articles for any other combination of language and city.

  The book notes:
  
  So here's a trick question: Which is the cuisine with a uniformly high pan-Indian appeal? In other words, which type of cuisine can now be found all across the country and has a uniform acceptance rate? ... Ajay Gupta, a food entrepreneur from Mumbai, had asked me the question about the truly pan-Indian cuisine. When he saw my confusion, his tongue-in-cheek but accurate answer was, 'Indian Chinese. Indian Chinese is popular as street food, restaurant fare, and now also at home, across the country, from Aizawl to Jaisalmer and from Leh to Quilon,' he chuckled.
  He should know, for Ajay has been selling the Ching's Secret brand of Chinese food products for fifteen years in India. When he launched the brand, he clearly saw the popularity of Chinese food in India.
  ...
  To add to the charisma of the brand, Ajay decided to explore one more aspect of the middle-class Indian kitchen. While the woman of the house wanted to be adventurous in her cooking, she had no idea what this entailed. For instance, most women were aware of Hakka noodles as one of the chief dishes of a Chinese meal, but not what went with it. Was it enough to have a sweet and sour vegetable? Was something more required? Ching's Secret found itself in the position of not merely an innovator, but a mentor. When one of the largest retailers in the country suggested that Ching's Secret present itself as a total solution, Ajay knew exactly what he should do. And since this retailer was a brand partner as well, Ajay got the freedom to represent all Chinese cuisine ingredients together on the shelf as a single section. Now the customer saw not Ching's Secret Hakka noodles in one aisle and Ching's Secret soya sauce in another, but the entire range together, at one single place. The power of suggestion became a multiplier in itself. The supermarket shelves 'told' the customer to buy sweet corn soup to go along with the main meal. Ching's Secret no longer stood for 'ingredients for Chinese cooking', but a do-it-yourself Chinese menu. The product range opened the door for any woman who wished to prepare a full Indian Chinese meal at home. No wonder the brand succeeded in the face of giants like Knorr and Maggi. The difference between them and Ching's was that while they offered a product, Ching's—the Chinese expert—offered a cuisine solution.
  Today the brand advertises on TV, was a sponsor for the popular reality show, Indian Idol, sells in both urban and rural markets and has a huge presence in all kirana stores, but Ching's Secret was probably the first mainstream brand in India that was built in modern retail stores and then moved to traditional retail. It successfully tapped into the access and depth of the large, self-service supermarkets, and capitalized on the growth these offered to its advantage. The mantra of Ching's Secret's success is now being replicated by other newage marketers ...

  The article notes:
  
  When Ajay Gupta, promoter of Capital Foods, decided to sell instant noodles and soups under the brand name Ching’s Secret, many thought he wouldn’t be able to digest the diversification.
  ...
  So Ching’s has been positioned differently. Sensing that 90 per cent of Maggi’s sales comes from its ‘masala’-favoured pack, Ching’s went for the kill with Chinese-flavoured noodles. Gupta says he has seen people lapping up “Chinese pao bhajis” and Manchurian sweet corn in Mumbai’s Udupi restaurants.
  ...
  Ching’s is also targeted at people in the age group of 18-25 (as against Maggi’s target group of children only) who prefer spicy flavours and look at noodles as a full meal rather than just a snack.
  It was also felt that Ching’s needs to leverage the Chinese connection and one way to do that was through packaging. So the colour coding and the graphics were essentially meant to symbolize this.
  The article includes criticism of the company:
  But his critics say he may remain just a small niche player. Says a senior executive of an FMCG company: “It’s just another brand with some initial novelty value. The problem will be how to sustain it. Some years ago, Gold Café, a coffee brand from Indodan Industries, had shocked Nestle by taking away market share. Today it is dead and gone”.

  Other brands that may not have the huge money power of the multinational giants but which are piggybacking on the opportunity afforded by modern trade are Ching's Secret and Smith & Jones from Capital Foods and the Future Group's private label brand Tasty Treat.
  ...
  Ching's Secret has a long, hoary history trying to take on the might of Maggi nearly a decade and a half ago with a more traditional Chinese noodle offering. While this found no takers, it is still part of the arsenal at Capital Foods. The marketer is fielding both Ching's Secret as well as Smith & Jones, with the former aimed at a more youthful demographic.
  ...
  The masala flavour is being keenly contested by Captial Foods as well via its Smith & Jones brand. Ching's Secret is aimed at youth between ages 16-25, where there is a demand for something spicier.
  ...
  Apart from variants and positioning, most players acknowledge that trial is the ultimate moment of truth. HUL have 'food ambassadors' at modern retails outlets to encourage sampling. Ching's Secret has gone the college route to get closer to its youth demographic. "We have sponsored a large number of college shows in the country last year and are also targeting the youth aggressively through Facebook," says Gupta. The Ching's Secret community on Facebook has over 118,000 fans following the brand.

Comment - All of those are either trivial coverage links consisting of either interviews, news about their clients and customers (who wants to know about that....aside from investors and future clients), and other PR-speak such as talking about what their products are; regardless of those having "criticism" and being news publications, that's still not any actual substance for convincing the substantial improvements (to the levels of both a non-advert article but also a still substantially convincing article).

Material about the company's marketing practices does not invalidate the Business Standard article from establishing notability. It is valid, acceptable journalism to include discussion about a company's marketing practices in an article about the company.

And the several pages of coverage about Ching's Secret in the Random House–published book Supermarketwala: Secrets To Winning Consumer India book make it a very strong source.

Perhaps this could be someday merged to Capital Foods, for which I have found several sources that could be used to create an article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:49, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The coverage is not great, but I believe there is just about enough to meet GNG. I previously cleaned this up so that it is no longer promotional. The fact that much of the coverage is negative is surely not a reason to delete: a corporation is not a living person, and if they are notable for failing a quality test, well that's not our problem. Also, I'm curious as to why this is listed as the 4th nomination, but only three are linked above...Vanamonde (talk) 08:21, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per Northamerica1000's assessment. Aust331 (talk) 07:00, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. KGirlTrucker81^{talk what I'm been doing} 23:57, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The votes above seem to be based only from the listed sources above, but this also means they are ignoring why I nominated for AfD, the PROD removal of this was unconvincing; the listed sources are not as substantial as they would need to be.

This article was originally nominated because it was a BIO article that wasn't BIO. The article was created during the initial furor and news coverage, but in hindsight, it doesn't appear to have had any lasting effects, and thus doesn't meet WP:EVENT.

Keep A simple Google search shows that this incident, shocking to rock climbers, received coverage in the most reputable climbing magazines worldwide, that the coverage was sustained, and that there have been newspaper articles about the legal charges against those allegedly responsible even three years after his death, such as this. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cullen238; further recent sources include an article in La Stampa and several citing it (DPM, Gripped). His case has also been cited in the past year in an opinion piece and safety guidelines, further showing its impact on the climbing world. FourViolas (talk) 03:58, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep on the grounds that the legal proceedings [47] have had ongoing coverage, and it has been 3 years now. However, I think that I could see a rationale for redirecting if an appropriate target can be found. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
