Niki Raapana[edit]

Delete per above. Safiel (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note to PRODer/AfD nominator Not sure why you took this to AfD. The PROD tag had actually expired, meaning the article would have been deleted today, but you blew it when you took the article to AfD, which automatically invalidated the PROD tag. Now we have to wait ANOTHER seven days for the AfD process to run its course. In the future, do not nominate an article for deletion if the article currently has a Proposed Deletion tag on it, unless somebody declines the proposed deletion. Safiel (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first time I've ever nominated an article for deletion. Since nothing happened, I thought I had to bring it here. Thanks for your advice. YoPienso (talk) 07:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability not established UScentric (talk) 03:28, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. While the article needs cleanup, notability is beyond doubt: just look at this. He seems to have an H-index in the 50s (not bothered to look up the precise number: it's high) and has authored a paper about a new concept that has clearly received lots of attention. Comfortably meets WP:PROF. Please do follow WP:BEFORE when nominating things here. Vanamonde (talk) 14:06, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. As well as the clear pass of WP:PROF#C1 (and the evidence of a poor nomination worthy of a speedy keep) I think he also passes #C3 as a Fellow of the British Academy [1]. Incidentally, there is a different Colin Crouch, a chess IM who died in 2015, who also appears to be notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:23, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - Notability per WP:PROF clearly is established. Also note that his books have been translated into several languages. For example, according to WorldCat, Post-democracy has been translated into French ("Post-démocratie"), German ("Postdemokratie"), Italian ("Postdemocrazia"), Japanese ("Posuto demokurashī"), Russian ("Postdemokratii︠a︡"), Serbo-Croatian ("Postdemokracija"), Spanish ("Posdemocracia"), Swedish ("Postdemokrati")...

Post-democracy[edit]

Notability not established, this is not a theory or unique concept, sources are one person, article is extensively quoting one person, self-promotion UScentric (talk) 03:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep the concept may have originated with one person, but it has received massive attention. The original paper has received 1400 citations; the translations have received many hundred; and there are a number of reviews and other examinations of the topic. See this.

Merge to Colin Crouch. This article is entirely about his thoughts on the topic. It should be under his name. No need to give the same material in two articles. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:49, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. That article is up for deletion too. Secondary sources are needed. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:51, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His article will probably be kept by the academic standards, so merging will take care of the issues, except for secondary sources still needed and would be helpful.Kitfoxxe (talk) 17:05, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- If a merge is a good idea, that can be discussed on the talk page. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:59, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Crouch's analysis seems quite notable. It's old wine in new bottles though – see the iron law of oligarchy, for example. For this reason it's best to to keep the theorising separate from the biographical pages. Andrew D. (talk) 20:44, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Nomination implies no WP:BEFORE check has been conducted; doing one finds dozens of RS on the topic. WP:GNG. FourViolas (talk) 05:09, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As of 2014, this proposed development was reported as "abandoned," with an entirely different outlet mall built in its place, which turns out to be Premium Outlets Montreal. I don't believe this canceled unbuilt project has enough lasting notability. I'll go ahead and add a mention of the unbuilt mall there. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. So I suppose we could leave a redirect if anyone wants. If I'd realized the target article was there I might have just gone ahead and boldly redirected. Let me try withdrawing this and doing so. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:47, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Festus Haggen[edit]

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

Non-notable television character. While Gunsmoke was a very popular show, this individual character isn't himself notable. I'm not finding any third-party, non-trivial references that investigate this character or study him. AS such, he does'nt pass WP:GNG and the article should be deleted. Mikeblas (talk) 22:42, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There's a "character biography" on the TV Land website, but that's not exactly cause for notability. Other than that, the only other real mentions were in Gunsmoke websites. The article is very in-universe and does not pass GNG. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 23:02, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I cannot find evidence that this individual meets GNG or MUSICBIO, and as Richard says there are promotional tones as well. Vanamonde (talk) 14:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unreferenced BLP. The subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. This is likely an WP:AUTOBIO. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:22, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- (change from delete) sources offered below are convincing, but "reads like a press release" is right. The article needs to be improved. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:58, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:WEBCRIT, and it's not wholly promotional enough to merit WP:TNT. Don't know where anyone else was looking, but it was pretty easy to find full articles in Forbes, Washington Post, TechCrunch, Cnet, TheNextWeb, The Sun, ReadWrite, Zdnet... these from the first few pages of ghits. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG Kleuske (talk) 21:19, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article was created by a user named Contava. A WP:COI is likely present. Plus, I found no significant reliable independent coverage online. I found their website and their social media, but those are not independent. All the potentially independent stuff I found just discussed where it is, how to get there, contact information, if there are jobs there, how much do they pay their workers, other non-significant coverage every company gets. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:47, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. A well-known name in the industry, but it still may not pass WP:CORP. Searching on "Marvin Test Solutions", the current name of the organization, might give some better sources.

Wikipedia for Schools[edit]

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

This actually does not need to be deleted. It can go into the Wikipedia: space. However, since that would remove it from Wikipedia's mainspace, I thought it should go to AfD. In 2006 this was proposed and there was some sort of similar AfD in 2008, but I cannot tell if it is for the same product.

Whatever the case, since 2006 this article seems to have never been backed by a single reliable source. I spot checked the history and do not think I missed everything. This product does not meet WP:GNG. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:12, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.

But nothing claimed or sourced here establishes that at all.

The result was keep. This is a bit complicated, since most of the deletes are eloquent and detailed, whereas most of the keeps are just throwaway comments: "keep since notable". If it hadn't been for BoyRD's specific mention of what they thought were acceptable sources this could have gone the other way: but the references they give as 1, 2, and 9 (Observer, AdAge, Adweek) are lengthy and acceptable, and--as it happens--these references are not demolished by JamesBWatson and K.e.coffman in their otherwise effective arguments. So while the deletes are correct in saying that much of the coverage is very poor, and that the article has a high tripe content, there are good arguments to keep based on at least some solid sources.

Note to participants: as tedious as it is, detailed discussion of sources is both helpful and necessary. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jason Binn[edit]

Delete. I'm staying with my delete position from the prior AfD. I see that the deleting admin JamesBWatson restored it in response to a request from Veggies 2, which can be seen here. But I don't see any changes made to the article to suggest it now merits retention. The delta of the article since its prior deletion can be viewed here. The only edits are adding a photo and correcting the case of the headings. The substantive issues discussed in the prior AfD remain. TJRC (talk) 22:28, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I originally speedily deleted this under CSD G4 (Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). The person who created this version of the article objected to my deletion, and asked for it to be restored, so that he could start a discussion about it. There are more references than in the version discussed at the last AfD, and experience shows that some editors would take that as indicating that the article is not substantially the same, and so doesn't qualify for G4, even though the new references don't actually add anything significant. I therefore gave it the benefit of the doubt, and restored it. In the month since I restored the article, the editor in question has made no attempt to initiate the discussion he said he wanted, and his only edit to the article has been adding a photograph to it.

The article has been bombarded with large numbers of references to give the superficial impression that it is well sourced, as often happens with re-creations of articles deleted for lack of evidence of notability, but most of the references do nothing or very little to indicate notability. To give an idea of the quality of the references, ten chosen at random from the 28 references in the article are: one dead link; two pages not mentioning Jason Binn (one of them refers to a farm owned by "Moreton Binn", who apparently is Jason Binn's father, the other does not mention "Binn" at all); the personal page about Jason Binn on the web site of DuJour, of which he is the CEO; a page at www.etonline.com, where the only mention of Binn is a credit for a photograph on the page that he took; an announcement of launch of magazine, merely including Binn's name in a list of the owners of the magazine (and also the webstite where the announcement is made is "www.adweek.com", which may be an indication of how independent a source it is); an announcement of an appointment of Binn to a post; a page about him on a website which claims to deal with "an increasingly complex marketplace" which "heightens the need for information and competitive intelligence", which to me reads very much like marketing speak for saying they provide PR; an announcement of his marriage; a 12 page newsletter from a charitable organisation, which on page 12 has a one sentence mention of the fact that Jason Binn has done voluntary work for the charity. In short, this is a typical example of bombardment of an article previously deleted for lack of notability with large numbers of references, without regard to their quality. I see no more evidence of notability than there was at the time of the last AfD. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:27, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I went through the references and found two dead links and I repaired them. The references are about Binn, and most have him in the headline or in the first graph. He is notable and an American publisher. His magazines are generally fluff, so it is no surprise that some say he is fluff. but no more than Page Six, E-Entertainment, or other such glamour publications. It does not make it less of publication, and they do get significant subscribers. For the record, I work in PR and have sought out Binn's magazines for my clients. He, however, is not a client of mine.Juda S. Engelmayer (talk) 12:46, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - One thing is for certain looking through sources, Binn is always mentioned in relation to Niche Media and/or his publications. Articles and/or interviews: Forbes, CNNfn, Bloomberg, The Boston Globe,The Washington Times, WWD, Observer, Miami, Advertising Age. Way too mentions in sources to list here, just a few: The Washington Post, Marketing Weekly News, Bloomberg. From The New York Times: One, Two, Three, Four, Five.

Delete -- promo content about a non-notable subject. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:41, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The source presented are mostly interview about the publications that Binn launches; for example, from the NYT MediaDecoder blog: "If you answered yes, then, aside from being extremely lucky, you’re just the reader for Du Jour, a new digital and print magazine. The publication comes from Jason Binn, founder of luxury magazines like Hamptons, Ocean Drive, Gotham and Aspen Peak, and a chief adviser of the Gilt Groupe, which offers online bargains on luxury goods." This, and similar sourcing, are trivial mentions insufficient to build an encyclopedia entry. Here's another one: "Binn (born Binstock) is the 37-year-old CEO of Niche Media LLC. Niche publishes free glossies that target the upper crust of New York, Los Angeles, Aspen, and the Hamptons. Binn also has a stake in separately held SoBeNews (as in South Beach), which publishes Vegas and Ocean Drive. Binn's job is uniquely suited to his signature traits: imperviousness to ridicule and a penchant for self-promotion. He has leveraged being a besotted fan into close friendships with stars (on stage together at one Binn gala were Russell Simmons, Heidi Klum, and Bill Clinton). He's very good -- and relentless -- at winning over audiences, whether they're readers, advertisers, or celebrities." K.e.coffman (talk) 18:15, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Jason Binn is obviously a publisher of very superficially oriented material, and the news on him is about who he is seen with, which celebrity he was mingling with, or to whom his publications are geared for. Granted all of that, he is a nationally known publisher and entrepreneur who is notable enough to be mentioned by media on many occasions and clearly sought after by segments of our society. Whether he is married, divorced, where he lives, where his offices are, etc. it seems to me that he is interesting enough to mention.

Andrew Steel[edit]

This is an article about an individual created by the individual, which is clearly WP:SELFPROMOTION and contravenes WP policies. Despite being advised that there is a clear conflict of interest the editor, Andysteel123, has continued to edit the page about himself. The article fails WP:BIO and many of the references provided by Andysteel123 are either self published or taken from blog sites. Other references are simply mentions in passing. This is a clear case of an individual trying to promote himself by creating his own WP page. It should be noted that there's no inherited notability simply because he founded a company (which only marginally survived an AfD).

Fails WP:N. WP:NOTNEWS. With a few exceptions, mostly local, the media have moved on. No connection to umbrella social issues. If editor interest reflects media interest, two editors have made two minor edits[18][19] in the past 48 hours, and the article is still slightly more than a stub. Another crime that was sensational enough to make the national news for a couple of days. ―Mandruss ☎ 20:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The media was there. I was personally at the scene and there were almost as many reporters and news trucks as there were mourners. Reporters from CNN down to the FGCU paper and bloggers. (yeah, I know that's not a RS, not the point). It wasn't lack of attention or the conventions diverting attention. It's a case of the 24 hour news cycle flooding it for a cycle and then watching the coverage drop off, as predicted. There will be a predictable local blip when someone comes up for trial, but there won't be continuing coverage. WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS apply. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't think it should. This is very similar to a shooting nearly a year ago [20]. A spike in national coverage, which died off quickly, then the local coverage died off. Gets mentioned once in a while as still being unsolved. In the overall, this event, like the Zombiecon shooting, will likely barely be a footnote in the city history. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:45, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it should, either. There are no other crimes listed there, so this one shouldn't be included unless it's the worst in the city's 150-year history. Let's try to maintain a sense of proportion and avoid WP:RECENTISM. ―Mandruss ☎ 14:44, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

High number of deaths? There were 2 deaths. Sadly, that's not a high number at all. And while Wikipedia actually is not based on news, the guideline you dismiss specifically says that most newsworthy events are not notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:29, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Coffee: Clearer consensus? After you eliminate the Keep arguments that are wrong on their face (e.g. 2=relatively high number of deaths), there isn't much left. Consensuses don't get much clearer than this at Wikipedia. It ran for the full 7 days per TracyMcClark's early comment. There have been 6 edits since I nominated eight days ago, averaging 0.75 edits per day, and the article is still slightly more than a stub.

A non-RS says that another non-RS is reliable? Well that solves everything. Want the technical answer? First, NeighborhoodScout uses numbers for areas outside of the city limits. Since the article in question is about the CITY of Fort Myers, it is skewed. Second, the presumption is that all crimes are equal. An Aggravated assault and a murder aren't equal since you can actually be convicted of an aggravated assault without ever even touching the person, much less causing serious injury. Third, they claim to separate out "armed robbery", while the FBI generally lumps in all robberies as a single classification. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:04, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015–16 Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team.

I'll pre-empt any WP:CRYSTAL concerns, as the policy states: 'It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced.' Based on past seasons, there is little doubt this upcoming season will take place, and the team will be notable.

Keep per Rikster2, Bagumba, and prior AfD precedent. Ejgreen77 (talk) 22:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In answer to Bagumba - part of your quote states "if discussion is properly referenced", which this article is not. Only one of Riskter's sources cover this topic. The others are stories about athletes without analysis of this season and does not qualify for significant coverage. I don't see why Div 1 seasons articles deserve special treatment pertaining to notability standards. Properly referenced is the standard here on Wikipedia - so all of these "seasons" articles probably should wait until there is coverage.

Also, the above mentioned AfD probably closed as keep because only one point of view, which was shared by all (except the closing admin), was able to prevail. This AfD is a good example. Only one of Rikster's sources cover this topic. Yet others jumps on the bandwagon citing Rikster's sources. And if the Admin only sees a discussion that claims an interpretation of wp:beaucracy and ~~an interpretation~~ of wp:crystal that supports this view - then what choice does a closing admin have ---Steve Quinn (talk)

Per WP:RUBBISH, articles are not deleted merely because they are poorly sourced. In this case, the information is verifiable, even if unsourced.—Bagumba (talk) 03:49, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, then its unclear to me what you meant by "In answer to Bagumba - part of your quote states 'if discussion is properly referenced', which this article is not."—Bagumba (talk) 04:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant was, not only is significant independent coverage of this topic is not available, there is only Risker's source that covers this topic - [23] and even this says it is "too early to start any serious previewing of the 2016-17 campaign". There is some speculation in the second section regarding the upcoming UConn season - and I have to agree that this is useful coverage for this article. But the other sources do not directly support the topic of this article. Under normal Wikipedia conditions it is doubtful this article would survive.

So, my position is this article should not be in the main space until there is significant coverage in reliable sources that directly supports this topic. This is pretty standard in other areas of Wikipedia. But I am not seeing this standard applied in this area of Wikipedia. And I am not saying this is right or wrong. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at Rikster2's first source, Jeff Jacobs: At UConn, Ollie's 5 Newcomers Have Melded To Become 1, which discusses the incoming freshman class for Connecticut's 2016–17 season. Why do you not consider that significant coverage for their upcoming season?—Bagumba (talk) 05:44, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not accurate to say only one of the articles I provided deals with the 2016-17 season. One talks about how five new players will have an impact ... On the 2016–17 season. One says a player is ready to step into a leadership role ... In the 2016–17 season. One talks about how a traumatic event has an existing player changing his number ... For the 2016–17 season. One says the school is looking to change conferences, a decision that will be a storyline for the 2016–17 season. That's the thing about coverage of a season, it takes many forms. It is incorrect to suggest that only articles that start "let's preview the upcoming season" are doing just that. Rikster2 (talk) 11:55, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, the link I provided is apparently not working - I should have checked it. Second, this is the link to which I was referring - [24] - I believe this Rikster's third source. Third, it is accurate to say that only one of the articles deals with the 2016-17 season because the subject and the focus of those articles are the athletes. I can change this to say only one of the articles provide significant coverage rather than "deals with". Please forgive my inaccurate statement. One mention in an article is not significant coverage. The topic is 2016-17 season of this men's basketball team. Those articles do not cover this season. Only one does; the one that I just linked to. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:45, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but you are wrong. A long article about the impact of five freshman on the upcoming season is an article about the upcoming season. An article about a player stepping up to be a leader on a team is an article about the upcoming season. An article about a player changing his number for the upcoming season is an article about the upcoming season. This is the nature of continuous coverage – articles about various aspects of the upcoming campaign and the plays and circumstances surrounding it. Rikster2 (talk) 00:56, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rikster2: It appears that you are correct. Sufficient coverage is out there to sustain keeping this article. Although I don't agree on every reference, here is my analysis of the sources you provided (above and below?):

!. The first refernence is about the "top 5" and covers these five players [25]. Where is coverage of the 2016-17 season? Also, how much are these players likely to play during the season given that they are freshman? It seems doubtful that they will have signifigant impact on the season. At the same time, there is no speculation or coverage on how they will impact the season - and I think these concerns would be related to counting as independent coverage, or whatever, for the season.

2. The subject of the second reference is Alterique Gilbert, I think a junior, who has a shoulder injury [26]. Obviously he is one of the best athletes in the U.S - but where is the coverage of the 2016-17 season? Again, there is no signifigant coverage or speculation on how he will impact the season. Maybe it can be inferred, but there is no way to tell how much of the season he will play, given he has had a recurring shoulder injury.

3. The third reference is really good and qualifies for signifigant independent coverage [27]. There is much material related to how well the players are expected to do during the upcoming season.

4. The fourth reference discusses Pervis's tribute to his almost brother (who died way too young) by wearing "15" during his final UConn season [28]. Combined with the third reference I think this is helpful as signifigant coverage. I would think other sources would cover this as well - just ruminating.

5. The fifth reference is about maybe reaching out with an official pitch to join the Big 12 [29]. I don't see how this relates to the 2016-17 season?

6. Without much commentary - this sixth reference pertains to this season. It is a longish article about Rodney Purvis returning to play for UConn, even though he is possibly able to go pro, and other stuff he will be doing during the season.

7. The seventh reference pertains to the "top 5" and I guess this is an important part of the story about the season [30] - I didn't realize this. I guess they get along really well, and already cohere as a team. Also, "this could end up being a special group at UConn...the Huskies’ highly-touted freshman class–ranked in the top 5 in the nation by some outlets" ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although I can see that the "top 5" players are a powerful addition to the basketball program, I am not seeing their significance pertaining to this specific season. ----Steve Quinn (talk) 18:01, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment consensus has not determined that Div 1 basketball seasons are notable - before satisfactory coverage in independent sources satisfy WP:SEASONS, otherwise there would be no WP:SEASONS. This how it breaks down (based on wp:seasons):
(A) "For college sports teams weigh both the season itself and the sport" - it is impossible to weigh the season because the season is not yet underway, and no commensurate significant coverage has occurred.

(1) "A national championship season at the top collegiate level is generally notable" - except the championship season or any other kind of season hasn't begun - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball WP:CRYSTAL.

(3) "A season including a post-season appearance or a high final ranking in the top collegiate level is often notable" except again there can't be a post season without a regular season first, and we don't know how things will turn out this year.

(4) This program might be considered elite being in the top tier - but the season still has to be covered in reliable sources, which it isn't.
(5) Lastly, "In cases where the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article. This grouping might be based on head coaches, conference affiliation, or any other reasonable standard that results in sufficient coverage for the period to warrant an article". ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Only one !voter has cited SEASONS in favor of keeping, but that same person also cited GNG.—Bagumba (talk) 03:54, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You keep truncating the guideline to elminate this wording: "* For programs considered elite in a sport (e.g. Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, in men's basketball; Tennessee and UConn in women's basketball; Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC in football, etc.) many or all seasons might be notable regardless of the outcome (the amount written by reliable sources on a weekly basis for some of these programs is enough that almost anything or anyone having any relation to them is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline)." the UConn men's team is a top 10-15 program all-time and gets just about year-round media coverage due to he high interest level around the program. All of their seasons will be notable due to this, regardless of finish. With respect to the 2016–17 season specifically, I have demonstrated that on-going coverage as of August, 2016 is focused on the coming season and it already meets GNG. This is the nature of the top programs, which UConn certainly is. I am still researching the other programs you put up for AfD because I don't necessarily disagree with the premise that not all NCAA D1 program seasons are notable, but you happened to pick an elite program with this entry. It was about a 5 minute Google search to establish that the upcoming season is already notable. Rikster2 (talk) 14:08, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not truncating the guideline - if you look you will see #4 discusses an "elite" program, and the season must still be independently (and significantly) covered in reliable sources, according to WP:SEASONS. And saying "they might be notable" is similar to fortelling the future, which wp:seasons does not support - because the season must still be independently covered in reliable sources - which is not possible - because a season does not exist yet. So, in fact, this article is about a place, time, and whatever else that doesn't exist.

I agree that Level 1 UConn teams probably gets year round coverage - and that is about the teams - but this is about the 2016-17 season - which is a different topic and which is not currently happening. I don't see any demonstration of GNG with one article specifically covering the topic. In other areas of Wikipedia, such an article would not survive. I am sorry to say, then please produce your sources that you discovered on Google that demonstrate this article about the 2016-17 season is notable. This is not the same as the team - that is a different topic - and notability is not inherited. I don't think conflation works on Wikipedia. If a season article exists, then there should be sources that support the season. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:05, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have already produced five articles discussing the upcoming season for the program and have explained how they are discussing the upcoming season, which the article is about. You have said that those don't discuss the upcoming season, but in my opinion you are mistaken. But if you like, here and here are a couple more. There is more than enough to prove notability for Wikipedia articles. And always has been. You have not proven your case, man. Rikster2 (talk) 00:52, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly, the topic you've sourced is more like "Preseason coverage for the 2016-17 UConn Huskies", and even if you claim that it meets WP:GNG, WP:Notability has a higher standard for such cases, called WP:SUSTAINED, which is related to WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Unscintillating (talk) 01:18, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Preseason coverage is coverage about the 2016–17 season. The article is about the upcoming season. Full articles about how various players and circumstances are expected to impact the upcoming season shows there is interest well before the season's opening. If you want to talk sustained coverage, the coverage about the 2016–17 season basically started before the last season ended (example). And since we know UConn is a top program and that WP:NSEASONS allows that some programs are such that every season will meet notability standards, we know that A) the season will happen, and B) there will be significant coverage all year. But there is already enough coverage for the article to exist. Rikster2 (talk) 01:32, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even before I analyzed the above sources, I had to agree that pre-season coverage is coverage - and what I was looking for. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you now think that this article should be kept, then you may want to withdraw your nomination. Rikster2 (talk) 20:50, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate This is too soon for an article on this topic, and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Based on the schedule in the draft, there is no season to report until 31 October 2016. Unscintillating (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you elaborate on why it is too soon? I'm sure you are not also proposing that United States presidential election, 2016 be incubated until November 8.—Bagumba (talk) 06:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there anything a reader in the year 2026 would want from the current article? I don't see any such thing. The article is a framework and a work in progress. Comparing this with the 2016 presidential election is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, although if you want my views they have been posted elsewhere. Unscintillating (talk) 14:14, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your question, yes, in 2026 readers will still go to this article to see who was on the team, just as they do today with 2005–06 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team. I am not saying the article is fabulous as is, but even the information in it as I type this will be referred to for years to come. Rikster2 (talk) 14:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If that were true, why does the Roster say "Roster", and not "The 5/28/16 Roster"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this is information that is intended to be trashed. Unscintillating (talk) 15:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't intended to be trashed, the 5/28 date is the meant to show the last update as numbers, heights and weights may change at various points (as well as added or removed players). It is the same form you will find at 2012–13 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team. It is possible that the roster was adapted by cutting, pasting and updated from the previous season but that the person didn't change the update date. Rikster2 (talk) 15:16, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So if players may be added and removed, there will remain no record of the Roster as of 28 May 2016, in 2026. Who is the intended audience of this article with an unsourced roster dated 5/28/16? Unscintillating (talk) 15:54, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. It's uncommon for players to shift, but it happens. The last roster update was a recent number change which is coved in one of the sources I have already linked in this AfD. The article is getting 60+ views a day so there is interest in the subject. What people in 10 years will look at that is already there is the roster, which will be pretty close to what is there today. I just don't find your argument that nothing on the article today will be referenced 10 years from now. Information still changes on historical figures from 100 years ago when new info comes up but that doesn't make the previous versions any less valid. That the article unsourced is a separate point, I don't think anyone has argued it is a well-sourced article, but that's pretty easily fixable. Rikster2 (talk) 16:15, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to quickly find sourcing for the roster in the sources you have provided. What sbnation says on 14 July 2016 is, "it's still too early to start any serious previewing of the 2016-17 campaign." So is this article for "non-serious" previewing? You seem to continue to view the roster as of 28 May 2016 as something of enduring interest, but I think it is intended by editors to be trash as soon as anything changes in that roster, and IMO the only way to ensure that the roster is correct as of 30 October 2016 is to not publish the article until 31 October 2016.

That AfD does not speak for consensus at this AfD. I don't know where that information comes from. Prior AfDs do not form policies and guidelines, nor are these effected by an AfD. Local discussions do not count as Wikipedia-wide consensus. Discussions that are Wikipedia-wide can change policies and guidelines.

Keep From what I am getting from these conversations, the concern is not that these pages will not become notable, but whether they are currently notable before the season starts. I would argue that they are notable because there are hundreads of reliable sources with pre-season information (ESPN, Yahoo, NBC, FOX), including the release of the official roster. More of those sources could be added to the articles for additional verification. WP:FUTURE #1 says that "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place.", which they are, and "A schedule of future events may be appropriate if it can be verified." which can be verified by number of reliable sources. I have personally been involved in discussions about this numerous times a year for many years and it has always stemmed from the ambiguity in WP:NSEASONS, which I think should be updated to specify what they mean by an elite team (D1 MBB, D1 WBB, D1 football, other D1 sports that are broadcast nationally, etc.) and specify that articles can be created during the pre-season as long as they are appropriately sourced for said elite teams. If this is not done I am afraid that quality could be lost if all 351 articles need to be created during the season. Wikipedia:WikiProject College Basketball has been working non-stop on the 2016-17 article campaign since April and it is still not done for the 2016-17 season which starts in just two months. Starting in November, I think would greatly sacrifice the quality of articles, and there is no reason to when the majority of the information in the article is known beforehand and can be written in accordance with WP:FUTURE #1. Those are just my thoughts on the subject. Mjs32193 (talk) 03:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment consensus has not determined that Div 1 basketball seasons are notable - before satisfactory coverage in independent sources satisfy WP:SEASONS, otherwise there would be no WP:SEASONS. This how it breaks down (based on wp:seasons):
(A) "For college sports teams weigh both the season itself and the sport" - it is impossible to weigh the season because the season is not yet underway, and no commensurate significant coverage has occurred.

(1) "A national championship season at the top collegiate level is generally notable" - except the championship season or any other kind of season hasn't begun - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball WP:CRYSTAL.

(3) "A season including a post-season appearance or a high final ranking in the top collegiate level is often notable" except again there can't be a post season without a regular season first, and we don't know how things will turn out this year.

(4) This program might be considered elite being in the top tier - but the season still has to be covered in reliable sources, which it isn't.

(5) Lastly, "In cases where the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article.

Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a person notable only as a trustee on a local school board. This is not a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL in and of itself; a school board member might be includable if she could be sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG (or if she went on to hold a more notable office than the school board itself), but does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing. But of the five footnotes here, there are really only two distinct citations, with the other three being mere reduplications of one of those two -- and two references is not enough to get a person over GNG if they haven't cleanly passed an SNG. (And even if this were to be kept on the basis of significantly improved referenceability, it still has campaign brochure overtones that would have to be significantly rewritten for WP:NPOV compliance.)

Keep - almost no school board members are notable, and none are automatically notable; however, as with Lewis Powell, board membership on a large or well-known school board confronting serious controversies can get national attention. This subject appears to pass the POLITICIAN test. In this case, she was the board member of a gigantically huge district that is the 2nd largest in the United States, and she got into media spotlight often.

Keep. School board members are not inherently notable, but they are not inherently non-notable either, especially for school districts as large as LAUSD, with bigger numbers of students than the total population of many countries. And SwisterTwister's claim that this is too low-level an ethnic first, and therefore that she is non-notable, is a non-sequiter: she doesn't have to be notable for that one thing to be notable. I just added two recent book sources to the two in-depth major newspaper articles that were already used as sources.

Keep I expect that I would recommend deleting 99.9% of articles about school board members. This is the exception to my own personal rule. The LAUSD has nearly 700,000 students and an annual budget of about $6 billion. Quezada did not just serve as a "trustee", but as president of that massive district, second largest in the United States. The references now in the article show notability, thanks to David Eppstein. The "campaign brochure" concern seems misplaced, since her last run for public office was 24 years ago, long before Wikipedia began. A Google Books search finds that at least 15 books devote significant coverage to her. That is exceptionally rare for school board trustees.

Like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boa Sr., I don't think that being the last known speaker of a language is sufficient to pass WP:BIO. Again, it's not a "well-known and significant award or honor" and I don't think we can say that the *person* has made a "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" as the only mention is that she made "a serious effort" late in life which isn't that specific. Otherwise the sole reliable sources here does go into detail about her but entire notability is basically a mix of being inherited from the language's notability and her longevity alone.

Wrong forum Either merge it to Cupeño language or the content contributors may decide to leave it standalone. There is nothing for AfD to consider here. Unscintillating (talk) 01:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- What's wrong with deletion? There's nothing more than at best a single sentence about the last known speaker and even then it's not like there's a need for a List of Cupeño language speakers article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:47, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given that there is no other policy basis for a deletion, are you arguing for a WP:IAR deletion? We assume the good faith of our content contributors, for one, and WP:AGF is a policy. The nutshell of WP:Editing policy states, "Preserve the value that others add, even if they 'did it wrong' (try to fix it rather than delete it)." WP:DEL8 does not apply when the topic can be redirected. WP:IAR is used to improve the encyclopedia, but deletion here IMO would do damage to the encyclopedia.
Have you considered that if you think this topic is non-notable, you can merge the topic and see if anyone objects? If they object and you don't agree, you can request an RfC on the talk page of the article. RfC is specifically mentioned in WP:Deletion policy. Regards, Unscintillating (talk) 02:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why would there be a need for a redirect? Yes, I think this topic is not notable and no why should I have to engage in a month-old RFC to see if someone else objects to whether this is a notable topic? The policy basis is that just being the last speaker isn't enough for WP:BIO and there's no indication that this person passes WP:GNG so the person doesn't pass the standards required for WP:N. How is that NOT a policy based reason for deletion? What are you arguing for? If "being the last speaker" is sufficient for WP:BIO on its own, then someone can write that into WP:BIO but otherwise how is this the wrong forum? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:36, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to insist on a WP:IAR argument for deletion, that is your choice. But any argument that there is any other way to get this topic deleted on a policy basis at AfD is IMO without merit. References to WP:BIO, WP:N, WP:GNG, are irrelevant in a deletion discussion when they don't rise to the level of WP:DEL8. If you are convinced that this topic would be deleted as a redirect, you can skip the non-policy arguments at AfD by merging the article and then taking the redirect to RfD for deletion. I am wondering what your deletion argument would be there. As for the WP:IAR argument, I have already stated that IMO such a deletion would do damage to the encyclopedia. Unscintillating (talk) 00:12, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What are you arguing about? This isn't an IAR argument, WP:DEL8 explicitly says that "this doesn't meet the requirements of WP:BIO, WP:N or WP:GNG" is a reason to delete. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:00, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you are arguing that you don't have an argument at RfD for why this redirect can be deleted, and your view of WP:Deletion policy is derived by taking WP:DEL8 out of its context? Have you read WP:BEFORE A1? "Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:...A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines...1. The Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion as well as alternatives to deletion and the various deletion processes" Unscintillating (talk) 01:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a redirect so RFD would be the wrong forum. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:40, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't make a deletion argument for RfD, you don't have a deletion argument for AfD; i.e., the correct forum is not a deletion forum. Unscintillating (talk) 02:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nothing suggesting merging or keeping entirely since there are no actually convincing claims of substance from her "best known as the last speaker". SwisterTwister talk 05:54, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While the article is a mere stub currently, this particular speaker is also a published author on the language, and a long time collaborator with Jane Hill, a well-known linguist who wrote a grammar of the language. Personally, I think any person known to have been the last speaker of a language is worthy of an article, but that argument could be had elsewhere, as Nolasquez is notable for other reasons. I will add some citations to the article, hopefully my efforts won’t be in vain. babbage (talk) 18:58, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- What secondary sourced evidence is there that Nolasquez is a published author? The mention is in the second citation citing the work itself which is a primary source for that point. She's not an academic from what I can tell so is her authorship related entirely to her work with the other linguists? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is sufficient material in the references to expand thate article.

DGG ( talk ) 06:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment & ping @DGG:: this source states that the subject was one of the last speakers of the language: Investigating Obsolescence: Studies in Language Contraction and Death. On the other hand, the same source does cite a 1973 book by "Hill and Nolasquez", so she could be considered a published author? K.e.coffman (talk) 02:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are actually 2 books

see Worldcat, [31]: I'i Muluwet:: first book of words in the Cupeño Indian Language of Southern California. by Roscinda Nolasquez and Anne Galloway ; edited by Susan Norwood. Pala, Calif: Alderbooks, 1975. and Mulu'wetam: the first people: ; Cupeño oral history and language. Edited by Jane H. Hill and Rosinda Nolasquez. Banning, Calif., Malki Museum Press, 1973 . I doubt they are really enough for the usual sort of notability as an author , but they should certainly be included in the article. DGG ( talk ) 04:36, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per DGG and K.e.Coffman's arguments.

It is even not wikilinked from Telepathy article (because it is probably worthless to add such information to the article). It is currently wikilinked as a text from Jules Allix only.

Keep, and I would request previous commentors to reconsider their !votes in light of the changes I have made to the article. This dif shows the changes I have made today. The nominator claims the article as nominated had "many unsourced paragraphs", but not counting the lede, there were no unsourced paragraphs. That said, the sourcing in the article as nominated needed improvement. The article as nominated cited 2 sources, one of which is currently a dead link. The current article cites 9. This 9 includes the original 2, plus articles from Wired and Atlas Obscura, as well as a number of older books and mentions from the late 1800s and early 1900s. With the exception of the Atlas Obscura article I tried to avoid things written more recently than 2006 because I wanted to avoid circular referencing issues. The current article includes a brief section on the influence this event had on the Paris Commune and a modern Japanese manga storyline. There is an additional magazine article that I would like to look at and possibly include, but it's paid and I don't feel like paying for it - the reference for that is on the talk page if anyone wants to look at it. At any rate, I feel the current iteration of the article is an improvement over what was nominated for deletion, and adequately demonstrates compliance with verifiabilty and notability. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 18:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable trekking company. Google search revealed no additional independent coverage.

Keep: The NYT times obit is a good reason to presume notability. While it is true that, as Collabahapple says, the GNG requires multiple sources, if there was a NYT obit there are probably only sources out there, even if they have not been digitized.

Hi, Shoy. We have added all the external sources that we have currently and since it is a growing product in popularity we don't have many sources yet. However, the sources that we have provided, I assure you, are completely legit and properly sanctioned. I'd prefer you do not delete the page, but if you ave to and before you do, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how we can prevent the page from getting deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poojamenon27 (talk • contribs) 06:53, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The given references are predominantly primary, with just some start-up product coverage from 3rd parties. My searches are finding nothing better than the usual listings, so failing WP:CORPDEPTH. (Regarding the above comments claiming growing product sales and use, it is worth noting WP:CRYSTAL, and there is probably a WP:COI that requires to be declared on the article.)

Delete -- self-cited promotional material. Not notable yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:09, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- I trimmed the article a bit of "product brochure" and self-cited and / or trivial details, and there's just nothing there. I cannot find any sources at all. No sources have been presented during the AfD process. This may be WP:A7 territory. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:04, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- an advert on a non notable business. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Not notable, would describe writing style as advertorial. User:Kowal kowal's contribution history also has me questioning the user's WP:POV and WP:PAID, as most of the things they edit seem to be directly related to a group of companies. Nicnote (talk) 10:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that the topic is not even merge-worthy, or at the very least it would be a one or two line merge with the contents still smelling of WP:PROMOTION. It doesn't even have a page in the Polish wiki... Nicnote (talk) 12:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. Fails WP:PROF. reddogsix (talk) 00:41, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Apparently meets WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF -- multiple books. What is lacking is the article-- he is the author of 5 significant books, the most widely in over 400 copies a/c WorldCat. I've added the others to the article. I;'vee also added some of the reviews. . This is an strong publishing record for an asociate professor; if I had not checked worldcat, I would be !voting delete.

Keep. I was the editor who removed the CSD:A7 template from this article as the article contained a Claim of Notability under WP:PROF - the existence of a claim (the guidance doesn't require the assessment of the strength of the claim) is all that is required to rule out a speedy deletion and my removal of the CSD template was purely to enable an assessment of the strength of the claim to take place before the article was deleted. I'm now in favour of the permanent retention of this article as there are claims for notability under both WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. As stated in the comment by DGG, the article itself is very weak, requiring a lot of work. I was the editor who tagged this article with Notability, Conflict of Interest and RefImprove templates but I do not consider these issues to be grounds for its deletion. Exemplo347 (talk) 07:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, in my opinion you did right to remove the A7 speedy.And after you removed the speedy, a tag was placed for the different reason G11, entirely promotional , I removed that one, saying "Factual; not entirely promotional " This is the sort of article that needs discussion.
