Redundant to Hindoo (disambiguation), which lists the exact same text as its first sentence, and thus should be moved over the redirect. Pppery 23:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unless someone demonstrates the potential for a separate article, I think it's best to merge with Hindu, and leave a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page. I don't think the dab page should be moved to the primary title, as at present it receives only about a third as many pageviews as Hindoo. – Uanfala (talk) 23:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The merge there is fine with me. I was suggesting moving as the outcome that changed things the least. Pppery 23:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete His notability seems to be restricted to the Chicago area, so he's not notable beyond a regional level.

Non-notable online ministry where only claim of notability and significance is having famous guest pastors. Virtually no significant, independent coverage. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:50, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, yes having famous guest pastors is quite a significant thing. Most ministries and even churches are not able to acquire any guest speakers. Also, CLM has staff in ten countries around the world. That is very notable. Also, they work with a school that has about 4,000 students. Also, they've worked with Knox Theological Seminary, Wheaton College, Gordon College, and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary who all have their own Wiki pages. I think that any student run ministry that even has colleges and important pastors working with them on such a scale should be quite notable. Usually students will never work with famous organizations without being extremely high quality and special. AllihaveisChrist (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

comment - @AllihaveisChrist: has CLM had significant coverage from independent, reliable sources? Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, it does. A lot of the relationships with speakers are not "advertised" majorly by others. That really is not the thing to do for ministries. They are also non-profit so they don't advertise at all. Also, they are part of a school, so everything is advertised within the school not outside. Outsiders obviously cannot go to school chapels. It is still significant again because it is one of the only run student organizations to work with a school and other colleges, etc. But, here is one reference of a major seminary mentioning our name: https://www.knoxseminary.edu/dr-sam-lamerson-preaches-changing-lives-ministry/ They also attached a real audio youtube recording of him speaking. There's more evidence. Thanks for your consideration. AllihaveisChrist (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
comment @AllihaveisChrist: Coverage by independent, reliable sources is not contingent on CLM advertising - coverage happens naturally based on notability. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, outside sources won't cover CLM due to it be specifically for a school. What happens in the school stays in the school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllihaveisChrist (talkcontribs) 23:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because it is WP:LISTCRUFT definitions #7, #9, and # 12. It also fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY #7 which states "Simple listings without context information. Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. Information about relevant single entries with encyclopedic information should be added as sourced prose. Lists of creative works in a wider context are permitted." This is because it the article is a list about a product type without context. KAP03 (talk) 21:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the context is that these are online real estate databases. The list doesn't have additional fields that would further contextualize but I don't see that as a reason to delete.

  • @KAP03: Since you have only been editing here for a little over month, you may not be aware that WP:LISTCRUFT is not a guideline but merely an essay, containing the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Isn't there another area of wikipedia that you can work in to develop editing skills? Ottawahitech (talk) 12:03, 29 December 2016 (UTC)please ping me[reply]
  • Keep. Categories and lists complement eac other -- categories populate automatically; lists can five a few word of context. They have different purposes. For me, if I want to check all the articles in a category I use the category; if I want some idea ofwhat the important articles in a categoru are likely to be, and its a field where I might not recognize all the names, I use a list, DGG ( talk ) 01:46, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Valid list article, aiding in navigation, all links are blue. You should never try to erase a list article just because you prefer a category better. Also Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER, we're not running out of space. Dream Focus 15:55, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Qualifies for an article per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Online real estate databases. North America1000 00:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think the nominator may misunderstand what "context" means in WP:NOTDIRECTORY: it doesn't mean the list has to contain a paragraph's worth of information about each individual entry; it means the topic has to have some context for why an encyclopedia should care about it. (For example, if I created a list of employees at my local grocery store, that would fail NOTDIRECTORY — but a list of notable things is not an automatic NOTDIRECTORY fail just because it's a list.) And as other commenters have noted, lists are not automatically deemed redundant with categories either — because they organize the content in different ways, they serve different purposes. The list can, for example, be improved with a bit more of the nominator's type of context, such as being converted into a table with geographic information and references, whereas a category cannot. There certainly are some cases where a list isn't actually warranted, but I'm not seeing a compelling argument being made why this would be one of them.

Article's sources are iffy, being the usual Subcontinent covert advertising, IMDb, or listings. Article is almost more about his (presently in production) film than the man himself. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 20:19, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article fails the notability, as the film which is mentioned is not yet completed its production. JackTracker (talk) 14:00, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete His first film is not even out yet. I doubt 1 film will make him notable, but with none he clearly is not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Movie unreleased and therefore fails WP:FILM guidelines. I would however request the nominator to forego the racist tone while nominating in the future. A search does yield many results about the director, but that is immaterial. And covert subcontinental advertising is a figment of the nominator's imagination or the product of his unawareness about the strong English language press in the subcontinent which also reports Page 3 news as much as their western counterparts.

That single paragraph description currently in the article (which should probably be removed for copyright violation purposes) is about the extent of the information on the topic in existence. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:40, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see anywhere for this content to be merged, and that's probably the right answer, as this subject is very minor, even within the world of Greyhawk (which is, of course, just one setting in D&D).

This article fails to establish notability. TTN (talk) 18:52, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions. TTN (talk) 18:52, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Much like the other Xanth-related articles that have come up on AFD, this article is just a massive amount of Cruft on a bunch of minor fictional characters, with no claim to notability and no sources. And, like the other articles, it should be deleted rather than redirected, as the name of the article "Family of Bink of Xanth" seems to have been created by this article. The only places where this phrase is used are mirrors of this article. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There are around 40 novels in the Xanth series and many characters in this family tree have been major characters in the novels. I was not around to save Goblin family of Xanth which should have been kept for the same reason. So unless every fictional family tree on Wikipedia is getting deleted, then a family tree which spans dozens of novels should be kept. Keeping track of the relationships in the Xanth series is easier with family trees. LA (T) @ 19:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is not Wikipedia's job to keep track of fictional family trees without reliable sources backing up why the information presented within has notability outside of the fictional universe they exist in. Without them, they are nothing more than WP:CRUFT and belong on Wikias, not Wikipedia. So, unless there are reliable sources backing up why this entire family is notable enough to sustain an article, there is no policy-based argument for keeping it. And no, not every fictional family tree needs to be deleted, just the ones that have no sources that cause it to meet the requirements of the WP:GNG. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 20:11, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Will you please explain how the concept of this fictional family was made up? The relationships were taken from the novels in the series. LA (T) @ 19:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • The concept of a connected 'family', while it can be logically extrapolated from the books, is not mentioned in independent reliable sources and as such is not notable or worthy of an article.--Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 01:54, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A WP:BLP that on the face of it (one stated reference?...and the article has been tagged since 2013?) fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and especially WP:ENT. Appearances in TV commercials dating from over 10 years ago and asserted appearances in various TV shows (as an uncredited non-speaking character? as an actor with a bit part? as the lead? - readers do not know) do not make an actress notable enough for a Wikipedia article. It is possible that Miss Scowley might be notable enough for a Wikipedia article because of her appearances this season as "Carol-Joan" on Fresh Off the Boat but I am uncertain as to this character's credit-status on the show (guest-star/co-star/"with so&so") and I think the notability issue is something that should be hashed out in an AFD discussion.

Delete: No sign of notability, along with other articles created by KJIVA or those close to the subject. No reliable independent sources listed. Does not meet the guideline for record labels or music. The references only lists "free press releases" and user-generated music profiles. Most of the references are links to iTunes and Amazon mp3 music as it looks like an advertisement for financial gain that's being passed off as 'reliable sources'. Also, there are a lot of dead links, including the MusicBrainz authority control link. In my opinion, the subject has created several articles spamming Wikipedia with no sources. Speedy Deletion.

Delete and Salt: It appears that this article, along with KJIVA, his apparent "magazine" Lifoti, and "record label" United_Naxal_Records have NO reliable independent sources at all, not one. There is nothing but "free press release" articles, iTunes & Amazon store links, and user-generated music profiles. As to how these articles got approved: I don't know.

Comment: Ligard39, Nominating articles for deletion because there are no reliable sources, does not constitute a ban or block of a user on Wikipedia. Nobody here is exploiting Wikipedia. In fact, the reason for tagging this article for deletion is because no reliable sources exists, which is the golden rule. Having a book on Amazon store or Ebay does not make it worthy enough for article space. Also, the subject who wrote it has no notability either or news coverage, even though notability isn't inherited anyway. I will be tagging more investigators to look into this matter further. And by the strong reaction you initiated, it's pretty obvious that there is a conflict of interest between you and the subject. Scorpion293 (talk) 04:44, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- the copy is strongly promotional and belongs on the company web site. Wikipedia is not an office directory. Likewise, I'm only seeing self-promotion as far as the sources go. Being a subsidiary of another non-notable entity strongly suggests that it's WP:TOOSOON for this company to have an article. Also, some time since the nomination the AfD template has been removed from the article diff, which is against policy. So COI editing is very likely.

  • Keep but cut to a minimum - After reviewing the article and the sources, I will vote to keep the article. The company has enough coverage in independent secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. Stone Point Capital is also a notable company. Not having an article in Wikipedia does not mean that the company is non notable.

After some investigation, I believe this article should be deleted and redirected to Trump (card games). This article copies heavily from Spades. I doubt that this game passes the notability test and may have been invented by the main editor whose other articles on card games, Yarborough (poker) and King's Court were also deleted for lack of notability.

This article should be deleted because it is WP:LISTCRUFT definitions #4, #5, and #12. It also should be deleted because it fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY definition 6 which states "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, such as "people from ethnic / cultural / religious group X employed by organization Y" or "restaurants specializing in food type X in city Y". Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon. See also Wikipedia:Overcategorization for this issue in categories." This is because the article is a unnecessary cross category. The article also fails WP:GNG because there is no "significant coverage" of this subject. It finally fails WP:NOR because it is original research for which no sources exist.

  • Delete - no evidence that this is notable enough for a stand-alone list Spiderone 19:04, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I find this list very instructive and also flawless after having followed several internal links from the words in this list to Wiktionary. The data given there seem to constitute the source of the information given in the list. So in my eyes, there is no original research involved here, but existing knowledge is presented in a new, more concise and explicit form which seems to be a central element of any encyclopedic work. A relevant objection against this list might be the issue of "non-encyclopedic cross-categorization". However, this list fits very well into the scope of articles like English lexicology and lexicography, History of English (including the respective categories) and also into the scope of the category English Etymology. Yes, several improvements can and should be done with this list which might be more usefull when including Proto-Germanc roots of the terms it includes. However, this article is pretty new and thus should have the chance of improvement (and enlargement) rather than being deleted.GermanyCalling (talk) 12:50, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely could do with third-party sources (reviews) establishing some sort of notability outside of charting in the lower ranks of the Billboard 200.

  • Keep The article as written isn't very good and has some excessively close paraphrasing from one of the sources. However, a brief search shows several more academic sources that could be used to re-write this article. This is basically Zambia's equivalent to Brazil's Favelas, and there is a unique history behind these neighborhoods and how they formed. There is definitely potential here. Maybe I'll get around to working on it in the next few days, but even if I don't, the article being poorly written is not a valid deletion rational. Meanwhile, here are some sources that can/should be used to improve it.[1][2][3][4][5]

The article is poorly written, obviously by editor(s) who don't have a sufficient command of the English language. I have tried to improve the lead. Nevertheless, this article is nowhere near readiness for WP:MAINSPACE. Every section, if not every sentence, contains grammatical errors rendering it virtually unreadable. See the TALK page. Furthermore, the information included does not seem to be appropriate for an encyclopedic article. Its current state seems to be no more than a badly translated fan page.

A previous WP:PROD request has been deleted by an unregistered user, as was the Talk page entry discussing it. The article seems to be held hostage by unregistered users who revert attempts at improving it, nor have they participated in discussion on the TALK page. In accordance with policy, I have escalated the deletion request to (AfD). Please read through the article and leave your feedback whether this article should remain on MAINSPACE.

  • Keep. As I said when I contested WP:PROD deletion the subject is clearly notable, and issues such as grammar can be fixed by editing, including if necessary removing large parts of the content. If there are problems with the behaviour of some editors then the ways to deal with them are blocking and/or page protection, not deletion of an article about an obviously notable topic. And, for the record, I am not the editor who removed the talk page section. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 13:41, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have no argument that the subject is notable. That is not the problem here. It is that the entire article is not written in a level of English sufficient for a page on Wikipedia. I also have strong doubts as to whether the bulk of the information included is noteworthy. Concerning your personal accusations against me, I ask you to provide sources that illustrate poor conduct on my part. Veritycheck (talk) 15:48, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This source demonstrates your bad behavior: please, you cannot delete your alerts administrators write in your personal user page, ok? You wrote "I have no argument that the subject is notable. That is not the problem here" but you want delete this subject. Ehm... if a subject is badly written, you cannot delete: you must wrote. But if you don't know the subject, you can't delete information and their professional sources (you deleted some articles of Corriere della Sera, one of the most important newspaper in Italy and your deletion is not a good choice for Wikipedia).--151.67.75.151 (talk) 15:58, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • As your source shows, those deletes were to my UserTalk page which I am entitled to make. Furthermore, I have never edited articles for Corriere della Sera. If you wish to make further personal attacks on me, take it to my TALK page. Let's leave this discussion to whether the artcle should be deleted or not. Veritycheck (talk) 16:14, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are very incredible! Here you deleted, for example, an "archive version of an old article" (if you don't pay, you can not read. But you can use the archive for reading) of Corriere della Sera: you deleted From 2004 to December 2008,<ref>[http://archive.is/hwRu]</ref> Rodríguez was a and plaese note that you deleted this "archived version" of a Corriere's article. This is one example of your crazy deletions. Bye! --151.67.75.151 (talk) 16:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why you deleted many alerts written against you by many administrators in your personal talk? I really struggled to try to restore them. The current rules of Wikipedia did NOT permit your deletions. I ask officially a permanent block against this user. You are "incorrect", not the sentences in Belen Rodriguez's page. I ask an official CU investigation against this user and VerityCheck because I am not idiot, you are the same user with the same behaviors and the same ideas (see Wikipedia:The duck test) and anyway... if the page is poorly written (which is not true), then you must correct and write (NOT delete) the page because the subject is enciclopedic.--151.67.75.151 (talk) 18:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • 151.67.75.151, your off-topic posts here are counter-productive and disruptive to this discussion. If you have any issue with people's behaviour elsewhere then this is not the place to discuss them. The article should obviously be kept, but you are not helping to get that result by deflecting this discussion on to irrelevant issues. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:48, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is NOT a majority vote, but a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Your comment is NOT valid.

  • Keep - The subject is clearly notable. Belen Rodriguez is the most important under-35 television host in Italy. She hosted some of the most important TV programs in Italy. If a page is "badly written", you MUST rewrite, NOT delete, because the page is clearly enciclopedic (and Rodriguez's page is clearly enciclopedic); this is my last comment for this discussion: goodbye. --151.67.75.151 (talk) 20:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

7-day Summary[edit]

Although at this time there is not a clear consensus on whether the article should be deleted or not, I have summarised the feedback of those who have participated in this AfD so far:

  • 3 editors suggest the article should be deleted on the grounds of the poor level of English used.
  • 4 editors suggest it should not be deleted, with 3 of them adding that the article could be (broadly) trimmed or reduced to a stub.

The only consensus there seems to be at the moment is that the subject is notable. Is that the only criteria required to be included in MAINSPACE? In my interpretation of Wiki policy, it is not.

Consider that the following represents a single sentence taken from the article in its current state. It is indicative of the level of English used throughout. I have removed citations to make it easier to read, if that is even possible.

In January 2015 definitely ended the professional relationship, which began ten years ago, between Belen Rodriguez and Milan fashion shows for John Richmond in favor of the Venezuelan model Mariana Rodríguez assisted by Paola Benegas (who ten years earlier had launched Belen in the world of fashion: this news caused a sensation at the Italian press for this reason, but also because of the alleged relationship, that in reality does not exist, between "the two Rodríguez" launched by the agency of Paola Benegas at Milan fashion shows of Richmond, that are Belen and Mariana).

As you can see, making this article legible will be quite a task and one that I am not ready to take on. It needs to be rewritten in its entirety. If no other editor here volunteers to copyedit, then I suggest they be bold and start trimming! As the nominator for this AfD, I will leave that job to others to avoid getting into edit warring with those editors who are content to see the article remain in its current form. I have brought it to your attention, and given my opinion. Veritycheck (talk) 01:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors: consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes. The user Veritycheck is only a troll. This user "plays with the rules" (see Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point) and I ask a permanent block against this user because the behaviors of Veritycheck are totally against the rules. The article of Belen Rodriguez is good and legible: it NOT needs to be rewritten, but it needs an expansion to include her television activities of the most recent years. The sources used in the article are prestigious: for example, I used many journalistic articles (or archived copies) of the Corriere della Sera, but Veritycheck deleted the sources. In this discussion, I asked why the user Veritycheck deleted the sources, but he NEVER replied and he vandalized the talk of Belen Rodriguez in violation of the rules (see Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point). Please note these two amazing coincidences: after 4 years of absence, the user Veritycheck returns in Wikipedia to vandalize the article of Belen Rodriguez and in this discussion three users (Veritycheck, Steam5 and 2001:569:70DD:7500:CC1B:7909:72FC:CB69) used the same arguments because they are the same user with the same behaviors and the same ideas (see Wikipedia:The duck test). I ask an official CU investigation and the elimination of all their arguments in this discussion. In conclusion, the other users declared themselves in favor of keeping of the Belen Rodriguez's actual article saying that is inadmissible play with the rules (if an user thinks that article is badly written, the user MUST re-write it, NOT delete an enciclopedic article). The two "IP 151" in this discussion are the same person, that is me (I have a Dynamic IP address); here Veritycheck call an other user to "vote" with him: this is NOT admissible (in the Italian edition of Wikipedia this behavior produces the user's permanent block and the deletion of the user's arguments in the AfD discussion). Many thanks for your attention: keep this article because the subject is enciclopedic and the article NOT needs to be re-written because is good and legible, it needs an expansion to include her television activities of the most recent years.--151.67.45.164 (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here the user Veritycheck vandalize this discussion because he deleted this comment of the user-autopatroller Shawn in Montreal and this is NOT admissible for the rules of Wikipedia.

News searches find exactly seven sources, one of which is irrelevant, one of which is a blog, and two of which are official press releases. Open web searches don't fare much better, and find mostly social media, procedurally generated sources like ZoomInfo, and reposts of videos.

Secondary sources added; the significance of the published content is its leading role (at least in Canada) in raising awareness of and participation in clinical trials. Typically, only the weak sectors of society end up participating, and the aim here is to show that it's for everyone. Mintz l (talk) 14:37, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. You have added 2 "secondary" sources. One is to clinicaltrialscanada.com, which according to their website is located at the very same address as the one listed for the Bulletin, strongly suggesting that this is not an independent source. I'm not sure how to describe the second "source", but an in-depth description of this bulletin it is not. If this is website really has a "leading role", surely better references are available. --Randykitty (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete, as business without strong claim of notability. The only claim in the article is that a large number of people shop here, which sounds impressive, but if there aren't independent reports about this place/business, that doesn't matter (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). I did find this, which appears to be an independent publication, but likewise appears to be a self-serving puff piece (PR "interview"?). DMacks (talk) 15:49, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a WP:POV fork of the Millenials article and/or the Z generation article. The entire "usage" section is just a WP:COATRACK for pop-culture pseudosociology -- pretty much every ref there is by, or cites, some talking head who throws out some anecdotes and spins a story around them. This article could stay if it were about the term, "Generation Snowflake" like Slacker is about that term. Contrast with say Me generation which is sourced to solid sociology refs. This page in WP pretends to be an encyclopedia article but all it is, is abuse of WP to perpetuate what the talking heads are spinning. It isn't sociology but it pretends to be. Jytdog (talk) 07:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC) (amend to add Z Generation since people are confused or wikilawyering around the main point Jytdog (talk) 07:26, 30 December 2016 (UTC))[reply]

  • Question - Would you still want to delete if the talking head/anecdote/spin/pop culture stuff were eliminated and the more solid descriptive citations (e.g. Collins, Financial Times) retained? MaxBrowne (talk) 07:36, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've nominated the article that exists and that has been strenuously argued to keep in this form, with this focus, on the Talk page. this article is a POV fork. Jytdog (talk) 08:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Suppose there were an article entitled Snowflake (pejorative) or similar - if it were in a format along the lines of "Snowflake is a slang term for....", "it may have originated from....", "it became popular in 2016 after....", "it was used by (well-known figure who promulgated the term) ....", "(credible public or academic figure) criticized the term....". All solidly sourced of course. Would such an article be acceptable to you? I think such an article would be OK, but I'm trying to understand your thinking on this. I personally don't like that the article is called Generation Snowflake, stereotyping a whole age group. MaxBrowne (talk) 08:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All I can tell you is read WP:POV fork - this article fits that to a T. Whatever article you have in mind doesn't exist. Jytdog (talk) 08:54, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Flawed articles can be fixed. I agree that this article has a lot of weak sources that tend to advance a particular POV (i.e. the one being pushed by the astroturfers), and also a lot of non-notable trivia. My view is that it could be an acceptable article if that was eliminated. MaxBrowne (talk) 08:59, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:TNT. I will not reply further. Vote to keep if you like; experienced editors will see this for the POV fork it is. Jytdog (talk) 09:35, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly meets WP:GNG. See also Category:Pejorative terms for people. The term is not solely linked with Millenials, and is cited by some sources as being more related to Generation Z. Specious AfD in any case: the nominator stating "This article could stay if it were about the term, "Generation Snowflake" like Slacker is about that term" is the same as saying "This is a content dispute". Per policy at Wikipedia:Deletion policy#CONTENT, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page... Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases... Deletion discussions that are really unresolved content disputes may be closed by an uninvolved editor, and referred to the talk page or other appropriate forum... Disagreement over a policy or guideline is not dealt with by deleting it." Keri (talk) 11:16, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, articles that coulda been something are deleted all the time when they become POV forks. This is what TNT is for. Jytdog (talk) 11:50, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
TNT is an essay; Wikipedia:Deletion policy#CONTENT is policy. Keri (talk) 12:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Only some who could be classified as Millennials based on age would fit into Generation Snowflake, and only some who could be described as Generation Snowflake would be classified as Millennials, so the coverage in the GS article could not be subsumed into the M article. And, as Keri points out, the nominator's case is fatally compromised by the admission that it's some (not even all) of the content that is being objected to, not the article's existence. So, merging with Millennials is not appropriate and there's no valid reason to delete, as notability has already been established. EddieHugh (talk) 11:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
your !vote is as confused as the article is. it pretends to do sociology but there is not a single serious sociology source in it. The bulk of the article - almost all the WEIGHT - is the "usage" and that whole section is a COATRACK POV fork. It needs TNT. Jytdog (talk) 12:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Pointing out the logical flaws in your deletion arguments adds clarity to this discussion, not confusion. The article reflects the available sources, but, again, we're drifting into a content discussion, which is for the talk page, and doesn't warrant a deletion nomination. EddieHugh (talk) 13:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:POV fork. Read Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion #75. The nomination is solid. You are confused. Jytdog (talk) 14:22, 28 December 2016 (UTC) (whoops, it is #5. Fixed Jytdog (talk) 23:15, 28 December 2016 (UTC))[reply]
I read POV fork before voting & commenting. Generation Snowflake can't be a POV fork of Millennials, for the reasons I gave in my first comments.

User:EddieHugh my bad it is #5. fixed. Jytdog (talk) 23:16, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note the nomination has been changed. The argument is now that GS is a POV fork of Millennials, or Generation Z, or possibly both. This helps to reinforce the fact that GS is something new and that it cannot be squeezed into pre-existing categories or Wikipedia articles. EddieHugh (talk) 12:59, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep basically per Keri. Plainly notable, and I think it could be trimmed of the trivia. A rename may also be in order.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:29, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gut Use only serious sources. Get rid of all tabloid and tabloid-style opinion pieces, all anecdotal/spin pieces, all polemic pieces, all trivial pop culture stuff. Use opinion pieces only if referenced by reliable secondary sources to establish notability, otherwise treat the same as blog posts or tweets. There's some serious astroturfing going on around this particular narrative and wikipedia should not be indulging it. Second choice is Delete. Keep in present form is as unacceptable to me as it is to Jytdog. MaxBrowne (talk) 12:41, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG and per result of recent previous AfD. --DynaGirl (talk) 13:44, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is really quite difficult to see why this proposal is being promoted at all. It is founded on/motivated by the false/misguided premise/assertion that the article is WP:POV fork of the Millenials article. The term (G--S--/S--G) has entered the language, and anyone wishing to have information about that should be able to find it in this standalone article, rather than be redirected to another where it is embedded, unhelpfully expanding that one. If the present version has faults of POV or overemphasis on, say Claire Fox, then let the article be revised, free from muddle with other issues in other articles. Qexigator (talk) 15:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep... but... This article needs stripping down to remove all the uncited/unreferenced content and information from questionable sources. Incidentally (this is relevant because this AfD itself is part of it) there's clearly some sort of slow-motion edit war going on with this article and its talk page. "Drop The Stick" clearly means nothing to some people. You don't need an AfD discussion, a Request for Comment discussion or an AN/I report to settle every single tiny dispute with an article. My advice to the people currently fighting over this article's content is to step away from editing it for a while and let someone else have a crack at it. An AfD discussion is clearly not appropriate here - it's a content dispute that you're having. Don't throw your toys out of the pram. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm undecided about keeping or deleting this article. But there should be more mention in the "Political correctness" section of the Millennials article. That could be a merge target if the outcome of this AFD is "Delete." The extreme right finds it convenient to throw this pejorative label at some millennials and dismiss, rather than address, their complaints about racism, sexism, bullying and bad political behavior. Edison (talk) 00:19, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets GNG, and there is no POV fork here. It needs some sorting and some of the less reliable sources taking out (although most of the print media cited are solid and reliable). All the best, The Bounder (talk) 07:59, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment - I am anticipating that the closer will ignore !votes that just cite GNG and ignore the POV fork issue. Again, Content forking is a reason for deletion, and this is a blatant fork of Millenials. Even if somebody wants to say the "target" of "Generation Snowflake" is Generation Z, we again have an article about that generation. (Millenials seems more appropriate since so many of the anecdotes are about college kids, which are not Generation Z yet, but this is beside the point). Way too much of this article makes actual claims about whatever the generation is, based on garbage pseudo-sociological refs. This article needs TNT because it is a content fork. GNG has nothing to do with the nomination. Jytdog (talk) 08:20, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note - With respect, GNG is not something that should be ignored when taking part in an Article for Deletion discussion. In fact, it's one of the only things that should be taken into account. Content disputes, edit wars, general disagreements between editors who seem incapable of stepping away from an article to let themselves cool down - these are not reasons for an article to be deleted. Exemplo347 (talk) 09:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note a POV fork can absolutely meet GNG with boatloads of refs and still be deleted because it is a POV Fork. That is why it is listed specifically as a reason for deletion and why I wrote the note above. Jytdog (talk) 07:24, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is not a content fork of Millennials. Many millennials are not in the snowflake generation, and Generation Z people are. It's clearly notable, whether as a definition as generational, or as a term used. This clearly passes guidelines for inclusion 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸(talk) 17:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gut or Delete The term could be an ephemeral neologism, but the term is used in certain groups and the use of the term is meaningful in both what it means and who is using the term. Its use is bubbling on the cusp of notoriety but it still may be ephemeral, hence gut or delete. I also agree it is not a fork of Millennials because largely the sources point to a few specific use of the term. Not all examples are of young people. The term is describing their behavior. "Generation snowflake" is merely a the way conservatives can label young "snowflakes." The term largely targets people who protest to "conservative" political speech and policy. A NPOV entry would balance explanation of the descriptive use of the term, with its political significance. I think the article needs an entire rewrite with greater emphasis on preserving NPOV. 2601:282:502:4B63:518D:4640:222:E976 (talk) 00:02, 30 December 2016 (UTC) 2601:282:502:4B63:518D:4640:222:E976 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete per WP:TOOSOON, as the only result in Google Books is I Find This Offensive!". If this were a serious concept, I'd expect it to be covered by psychologists or other social science scholars. Right now the article is filled with trivia based on pop culture-like sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:37, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a valid reason. There is no requirement for the sources to be books. The article has an abundance of reliable sources, principally from the broadsheet press. EddieHugh (talk) 12:14, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Eddie; this is a neologism, "a relatively new or isolated term, word, or phrase that may be in the process of entering common use, but that has not yet been fully accepted into mainstream language [...] often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event." See for example Category:Neologisms, Category:Words coined in the 2000s and Category:Words coined in the 2010s. Keri (talk) 12:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The pile-on begins. Whether or not it is a valid reason to delete I'm not sure but the majority of these 'reliable sources' are the result of Claire Fox plugging her book, with a bit of pop culture crap thrown in. My feeling is the article could be OK if it is decrapified, but I'd rather see it deleted than kept in present form. Edit: wikipedia should not be doing Spiked/Insitute of Ideas propaganda for them.

In spite of the extensive rewriting, the article remains confusing--many of the refs seem to be about problems with the current generation and not specifically calling it Generation Snowflake. And article would be appropriate, but it would better be done by rewriting from scratch. DGG ( talk ) 06:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The refs are all fairly explicit in their use of the neologism "Generation Snowflake". And using AfD and deletion to solve a content issue is rather extreme - particularly as this will circumvent whatever consensus currently exists and the outcomes of RfCs. Those issues and arguments will just be edit warred over and rehashed once again. Deleting will not, and should not be used to, resolve a content dispute. Keri (talk) 08:59, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question - to those in favour of deletion, would you still favour deletion if the article looked something like this? MaxBrowne (talk) 11:50, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's a reasonable compromise, and not dissimilar to other articles about 21st century neologisms. Keri (talk) 19:57, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think so too. I would also support a change of name to snowflake (neologism).--Wehwalt (talk) 20:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of suggested name changes, I like Wehwalt's suggestion of snowflake (neologism) better than snowflake (pejorative) as all usages do not appear strictly pejorative. Many of them are, but the earlier usages aren't, and with the use of this term quickly evolving, it's unclear that the future usage will be strictly pejorative. --DynaGirl (talk) 20:16, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Further discussion of content and titles is welcome, but the article's talk page is the place for that. Perhaps MaxBrowne could make his proposal there, with a rationale that clearly delineates what he thinks would qualify a source for inclusion or exclusion (his current sandbox suggestion contains plenty of sources that look like the opinion pieces I thought were the target of the "gut" concept, so clarification would be useful). EddieHugh (talk) 20:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I am not proposing my sandbox version as a final version, just saying it would be an improvement on the current article. MaxBrowne (talk) 10:16, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - unless it can be established that "generation snowflake" is a genuine sociological phenomenon rather than a meme being promoted by British and American libertarian organizations (or "think tanks") as part of a wider pro-corporate agenda.

Delete and blacklist: This article has no reliable independent sources showing the artist's impact in the music industry. I initiated a deep research background check and found NO reliable sources mentioning or talking about the subject. In fact, all I found was music profiles created by the artist or a subject close to the artist. As a result, this article needs to be deleted as it does not meet the guidelines for notable musicians. If subject is reading this, or someone close to the subject, read the following guidelines for notable musicians: Wikipedia:Notability_(music) Bottom line: This is a neatly written article, however, it's written on a subject that has NO notability or any reliable sources, he managed to hoax Wiki editors. There is also no evidence whatsoever that DJ Mustard collaborated with the subject. VEVO is not a reliable source as anyone can make an account and add whatever title in the videos. This is all a hoax, but a good one. —Scorpion293 | talk 20:15, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment" Hi Ligard39, I have nothing against any musician. I'm trying to eliminate spam from Wikipedia, that is all I am doing. The articles created for the subject KJIVA has NO reliable sources, aside from store links. There isn't any news articles talking about the subject or brief mentions. I tagged all pages that have no sources listed in the references, as they should all be deleted. Also, having a book on Amazon does not mean the book should be worthy enough of article space. There isn't any news coverage of the book, let alone the subject. One word: Speedy deletion. Will tag more investigators to look into this further.

  • Comment. The article is on the same subject as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kjiva, which closed as "delete" last September after many of the "keep" comments there were found to have been from sockpuppets. The article was created again a week or so afterwards, and I deleted it per WP:CSD#G4 (speedy delete for re-creation of a deleted article) and protected it against repeated re-creation. It seems to have been re-created again, almost immediately, under the present title. However, the current article is significantly longer than the deleted ones, enough that I think G4 no longer applies.

This was likely going to be sent to AfD anyways so I might as well start it. It'd be nice to have an article on this, but as far as I'm concerned, it fails WP:NOTNEWS. The two sources in the article are just about the only sources about this entire thing; all other sources are from Reddit, some other non-notable blog, or a reliable source that mentions the meme war in passing. Alternatively, and if that article is kept pending the AfD, this could be merged into r/The Donald, since all sources puts the subreddit as the cause of this war.

    Among the sources you provided, sources #'s 1 and 3 appear to be more about r/The Donald than the Great Meme War; source #2 only mentions the war in passing, and thus cannot be used to determine notability. Only the fourth source appears to talk about the Great Meme War in detail, but one source is not enough "significant coverage" to qualify for WP:GNG. JudgeRM (talk to me) 16:39, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    In addition, the fourth source, “Daddy, what did you do in ‘The Great Meme War’?” Dank memes become part of history, is not a reliable source. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 19:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note to closing admin Users using the rational that it should be deleted because it is a "joke" should be discounted per WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC, to quote the page: "The terms "unencyclopedic", and its flip-side "encyclopedic", are too general to be useful in deletion discussions.

  • Keep there is even RS that this has "gone mainstream". All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:17, 28 December 2016 (UTC).[reply]
    No, that source only mentions the meme war in a trivial passing, and thus can't be used to determine notability. JudgeRM (talk to me) 21:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It doesn't appear to in fact a joke, and even if it was that doesn't preclude notability in principle. As pointed out above, not encyclopedic means very little in way of argument. Also, whether it is in fact had a measurable impact on the election...it may actually be a false claim, but it can be a false claim and also be a notable topic.
So with those out of the way, discounting sources which have only trivial mention or otherwise are about a different subject all together, the current article seems to rest on The Epoch Times, which appears to be of questionable reliability, and The Daily Pakistan. The DP may be a reliable source, but even if it is, if you are relying on one of the top newspapers of Pakistan as a central source for an article on American politics, it's probably a good indication that the subject has not received sufficient coverage to be notable.
At this point, the sourcing provided is not enough to establish that the name of the article is not a neologism, much less that the subject itself is notable. I haven't found much else, and it doesn't look like anyone in this protracted discussion has either. TimothyJosephWood 16:28, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the first writer. I honestly have not heard anyone else use this term, outside of certain alt-right circles on Reddit. I would, to be generous, file this a "new word/term,"WP:NEO used exclusively by a certain political subset.. To be honest, I think the main problem is embodied in the last sentence: "It is yet to be seen whether these tactics will work as well in Europe as they claim to have done in the United States" It is a persistent claim of the alt-right, made without any evidence, that their memes have been a major factor, if not the major factor, for President-elect Donald Trump's win in 2016. This article seems to be writteninn order to pump up their image.

Also, when one types up the term in google, all you get are Pro-Donald Trump Reddit discussion boards and marginal right-wing websites supporting PEOTUS Trump using the term,implying that it is a certain form of jargon on the radical right.

Again, to be generous, I would suggest that we modify this under an article detailing the alt-right, or under the section of r/thedonald on the Donald Trump's 2016 campaign page, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016#.2Fr.2FThe_Donald_subreddit.) I have also taken the liberty to change the tone of the article to make it more neutral, as well as to make clear that this is a term used by few. For example, I have changed the first sentence from "The Great Meme War was an Internet campaign.." to "The Great Meme War is the term made in some internet circles to refer to memes made to support Donald Trump and sway the result of the United States presidential election of 2016."

I have a great deal of personal reservations about this article. But I would want more feedback before anything else is done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mousemenace (talkcontribs) 20:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC) Note: An editor has expressed a concern that mousemenace (talkcontribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.

  • The article should be modified, but not removed. I'm a relative outsider in the Wikipedia community, but I believe we can all agree that the proliferation of insular social media clusters and their invented cultural symbols -- memes -- was a notable phenomenon. This ought to be categorized underneath a subsection of Internet culture, if you're not willing to associate it with the 2016 American Presidential election.24.40.80.245 (talk) 21:27, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The only sources I can find relate to his appointment to Lt-Gen position. This information is adequately covered in this list. I agree with the above that WP:SOLDIER is subservient to WP:GNG, but SOLDIER itself sets a bar of "have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources". At present I would consider this person to be non-notable by SOLDIER or more generally. |→ Spaully τ 11:48, 28 December 2016 (GMT)
  • Keep - Following the expansion by @Clarityfiend I feel the article provides evidence of notability that now meets SOLDIER. I clearly need to improve my searching! |→ Spaully τ  15:44, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Lieutenant general is a high rank, plus there are a few other bits about him: a previous posting,[9] his family,[10] receiving the Hilal-i-Imtiaz,[11][12] Clarityfiend (talk) 02:51, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep the fact that the deleters do not claim fluency in Urdu, Pashtun, Punjabi or other languages of Pakistan makes me suspect that they have not identified all potential sources. However there are enough sources, and being at the level he is in the military is clearly enough to pass notability guidelines. Deleting this article would add to systemic bias. We would never even try to delete an article on an American with this level of military standing.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does not reach GNG, 60% of the article is a write-down of a review, which also is the only source in the article. The other 40% are the three lead sentences, which are all unsourced. Lordtobi () 14:37, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect. But really, it would be best covered in Frozen_(franchise)#Video_games just like the other Frozen game and split out summary style... Standard procedure for movie tie-in games, which tend to have pitiful games press coverage and are more important as a facet of the film/franchise than as independent entities. A handful of decent sources above, but everyone who has participated already knows that the majority of them are unreliable. The lack of full reviews should be the tell. Everything that needs to be said on this topic can fit adequately and within due weight in the parent section. Would have been worth redirecting before coming to AfD. czar 17:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same could literally be said about any game that has its own series/franchise article. The fact of the matter is, there's 4-5 third party sources that cover it in significant detail. That's all that's really required. It's also of note that it was made part of the Nintendo Selects line and and received coverage for that as well, which is noteworthy, as it represents meeting a sales milestone of sorts. (Not sure what it is exactly, but I believe we're usually talking hundreds of thousands or millions of copies sold here.) The lack of dedicated reviews (not a requirement to meet GNG anyways) is more representative of the game's demographic than its notability. (Why would your typical IGN/Eurogamer do a write up on this? The core video game demographic isn't going to buy this, and the core pre-teen Frozen demographic don't need a review to know they'll eat up this stuff.) Sergecross73 msg me 17:40, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If not Eurogamer/IGN, then why not even newspaper reviews or parents' publications? The point is that the release is minor. When a video game product has some news listings but not reviews, it's usually a sign that there isn't much to say it about it. No, reviews are not required for the GNG, but the GNG does not mean that articles need their own page (it's presumed notability). I don't see how this isn't best handled in its dedicated parent section, especially looking at the lack of information we'd have to write a full treatment of the topic. czar 07:03, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Care to address any of the points about sources or sales? Or are you sticking with this generic rambling WP:NOTNOTABLE violation? Sergecross73 msg me 18:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Questions 1/ about sources The review sources listed in an a earlier response are apparently mostly sites devoted specifically to reviewing Nintendo games. Do they review every commercial game released for Nintendo? Do the review every such game based on a commercial film or franchise?
2/about ratings I see an assertion in one or two of the references that the game is a bestseller . I see no specific numerical or other quantitative information. The mere assertion "best-seller" isa meaningless superlative. DGG ( talk ) 04:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  1. No, they don't review every game, or we'd never delete any Nintendo-platform articles, which is far from the case.
  2. Upon my spot checking, most Nintendo Selects are million sellers, but I can't find anything that says they necarrily have to be. But we do have third party sources verifying the game charting (unusual in this day and age for licensed properties on dedicated systems) and that it was an unexpected success.

  • Weak Keep The article in its current form is very poor. The sources above establish its notability, but it may have to be re-written. Dimadick (talk) 20:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per my original nom: Article does not establish notability and does not pass WP:GNG. Only a few proper sources, apart from reviews, could be found, failing WP:SIGCOV. Lordtobi () 21:41, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I've struck the bolded !vote. You're free to reiterate yourself, but the bolded "delete" would only belong in your nomination, if you feel the need to put it somewhere. Putting it down here makes it look like a person separate from the nominator has given an additional "delete" !vote. Sergecross73 msg me 15:47, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm also puzzled by your comment. Why does "only a few proper sources apart from reviews" somehow make it "failing SIGCOV"? We've got 5+ sources dedicated to the subject at least now - 2 reviews, (GameRevolution, NintendoLife) 2 articles written around its sales accomplishments (HardcoreGamer, NintendoLife), and the MCUK source. Desiring a merge is a subjective editorial call, but I'm having a hard time understanding your objective evaluation of the sourcing in particular here.

Appears to fail WP:GNG per WP:ROUTINE coverage. Does not meet any requirements of WP:NHOCKEY and much of the info on the subject appears to be wrong or at least unverifiable (as in there are lot of records kept on the old IHL and ECHL but no mention of McCharles). Only media (local-only) coverage I found was on his time as coach for a very low-end unsanctioned junior team , which just so happens to be the user name of the user who created this page.

  • Delete I would suggest keep and merge with the artist's article, but there's hardly anything worth merging besides track listings. I find nearly nothing. Maybe that's because I'm searching in the Latin alphabet, and someone can come along to prove me wrong.
Also consider similar treatment for Na wylot and Polepione dźwięki. Both unsourced stubs that are little more than track listings. The latter claims to have been nominated for an award, and the artist's article claims it was nominated and won multiple, but all of this is currently unsourced. If information on the albums gets too cumbersome for the artist article, then the appropriate step would probably be a discography article, but that doesn't seem currently necessary, since they've only put out apparently two solo albums, and it's not clear how central a role they played in their collaborative works. TimothyJosephWood 13:59, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
