  • Delete The article is vague and doesn't seem to convey much by way of useful detail. As already noted above, there is a lack of reliable sources- there are remarks in ebooks indicating that the organisation was used as a vehicle to promote a theory, but this isn't enough to establish notability.

  • I can't comment on the notability, and the tone is indeed slightly promotional, but the article does seem to list at least one independent source. This interview says it's a longer version of something originally published in eo:La Usona Esperantisto. I've also checked the other independent ref [1] but this doesn't seem to mention the society at all. Uanfala (talk) 01:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge to Dothraki language (prefer delete): The only thing they've done that's noteworthy is refer the Game of Thrones producers to the guy who created that language. Everything else, and I mean everything else appears to be fluff of no consequence. I prefer delete because their only connection to Dothraki is that referral (to someone who I believe was a board member), rather than actually creating the language. With all due respect, this is a UC Berkeley student group that the creators kept doing after they graduated. That's not notable. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 15:30, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. First of all, let's point out once again that notability is not a hard rule, and the corresponding page make it clear that the only thing that really matters is significant coverage in significant sources. More importantly, however, let's not forget that notability is relative. I am ready to believe that for people involved in subjects like mathematics, religion, politics or the Twilight series, the whole subject of language creation may seem futile, and I will certainly not dispute that in terms of notability the LCS as a subject cannot compete with Pythagoras, Edward Cullen or Kim Jung-Un. But within the field of constructed languages, the LCS is not only significant, it's crucial. Frankly, I've no idea where the assertion comes from that there are "no news worthy articles". There's a fairly long list of articles in the press about the LCS or at least mentioning it, and I could start giving links, but one might just as well have a look here. On Google Books and Google Scholar you can find numerous references to the LCS too, also in the scientific press, and many of these occurrences are far from trivial and completely unrelated to Dothraki. It may be true that most of the references used in the article are essentially primary sources, but on the other hand, I'd say we're way beyond the stage that articles are supposed to provide lists of references with the sole purpose of proving that the subject is noteworthy.
    That the whole thing is just a bunch of former UC Berkeley students is plain nonsense; the LCS may well have originated there (any organisation has to originate somewhere, doesn't it?), but at present it has members all over the world, and the current president is a Frenchman living in the Netherlands. Merging this article into Dothraki language is not an option; even if Dothraki is probably the LCS main achievement, its activity reaches much further than that (including the biannual Language Creation Conferences, also referred to in quite a number of articles).
    At last, I'm sorry to mention this again, but I would appreciate it very much if Wikipedians could refrain from using terms like "advertising" and "spam" for subjects they consider obscure or otherwise don't care for. Personally, I don't see how this article is promotional in any way (and mind, as an admin on WP:NL I've deleted tons of promo stuff myself), but if somebody thinks otherwise, this can simply be remedied by rewriting a few sentences. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 00:13, 27 February 2016 (UTC) Note to closing admin: IJzeren Jan (talkcontribs) appears to have a close connection with the subject of the article being discussed. [reply]
    • As you appear to be a member of the LCS board of directors, I can understand your frustration, but let's try to stay objective here. Virtually everything dealing with LCS out there is cursory mentions—clearly not rising to the level of "significant coverage" required by our notability guidelines. That little that might be more substantial appears to be in dealing with Dothraki. The creation conferences themselves aren't independently notable, and their existence doesn't convey notability onto the organization itself. For an interest group, even a niche one, created in the last two decades that by its very nature has largely resided in newsgroups and bulletin boards, 164 ghits is a bad sign. Reviewing these demonstrates that the sole newsworthy event touching on the LCS is that the creator of Dothraki is one of its founders, and is a former president. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 13:08, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • How does me being a member of the LCS invalidate my arguments? Unless I'm mistaken, an AfD is not a vote, it's all about reasonable, policy-based arguments, so making the COI point is pretty much using an ad hominem argument. Besides, anybody's personal involvement in a subject is likely to mean that this person knows what he is talking about, isn't it? For your information, I have been spending most of my life reading and writing about constructed languages and I have also been working on the corresponding section on this wiki for twelve years now, including maintaining P:CL virtually on my own (long before the LCS ever existed, and even much longer before I became a member). Therefore, when a deletion discussion about a related subject comes up, I feel fully entitled to participate. Mind you, I never participate in discussions about fields I'm not knowledgeable about. So please keep it civil and do not address me like some frustrated 17 years old. I have no personal interest whatsoever in preserving this article, and if there's anything that I find frustrating, it's rather the fact that these discussion are often dominated by people who know a lot about policy, but little or nothing about the subject itself.
        BTW, you are mistaken about Dothraki. It is not true that the creator of Dothraki accidentally became president of the LCS at some point, the language was in fact commissioned to the LCS, and via the LCS to David Peterson. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 19:29, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just Google clicksor malware for a variety of comments, or have a look at the Tweets from this security researcher. I'm not sure which of those many, many references would be suitable to cite from though. At present it looks like an advertising puff piece rather than representing a balanced point of view about its subject.

Barely escapes the speedy deletion criteria but this should still be deleted. This teenager is simply not notable and some of the claims are preposterous. For instance the article says that in 2013, he had a number 1 Billboard single as a 14 year old. In fact, iTunes has never heard the name "Caleb haskell". The article is currently entirely unreferenced and it's pretty clear from the username that the editor is editing with a conflict of interest. Pichpich (talk) 19:50, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced article, whose only substantive claim to passing WP:NMUSIC is verifiably false — in addition to iTunes, I checked Billboard's chart archive and there's no indication of him ever having a charting hit there either. While a Google search verifies that he exists per social media presence, there's zero reliable source coverage — basically, this is a classic case of "musician who wants to use Wikipedia for PR purposes creates article containing false or self-aggrandizing claims that aren't actually verifiable as true". Delete, no prejudice against recreation, in a more neutral, encyclopedic and properly referenced form, in the future if and when he can actually be properly sourced as passing NMUSIC for something.

This article is essentially just a subset of winners listed in the article Grammy Award for Album of the Year, grouped by artist. This club is likely not notable enough on its own to warrant an article and instead could be mentioned in a single paragraph on the Grammy Award for Album of the Year article, rather than having a separate article that essentially repeats all the info.

Can you provide a more useful justification for keeping the article beyond "that's ridiculous"?

Previous discussion resulted in no consensus. Per WP:NOTNEWS "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopaedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." Is already included in List of terrorist incidents, January–June 2016. This was simply a routine local crime. AusLondonder (talk) 02:15, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This was anything but a "routine local crime," as Nom would have it. "routine local crimes" do not involve investigations by police in multiple countries, or draw extensive, in depth coverage in international sources. This ISIS-inspired attack got the attention to pass WP:GNG. What the article actually need is expanded sourcing in languages including German and French. A section needs tobe added, for example, on the lawsuit apparently filed in French courts by this jihadist's family for wrongful death. E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin: E.M.Gregory (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AFD.

  • Keep for now - Per E.M.Gregory. This article could use a little more work, but other than that, I don't see why this should be deleted. Parsley Man (talk) 04:49, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Nobody killed and pretty much routine; sadly the 'person of questionable sanity deciding to try to get into a police station' story is pretty common and most times results in either the person being easily stopped and arrested or more rarely, being killed. They get past, that's different, but it didn't happen here. Nate (chatter) 05:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Mrschimpf's is Not a policy-based comment. The question here is not whether you personally think this was a routine crime, but whether coverage in reliable sources was local and treated it as routine crime, or whether the coverage was international, in depth, and treated by the press and public figures/authorities as more than a routine, local crime.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This meets the very definition of WP:NCRIME, a known policy. "ISIS-inspired" is the new "Al-Queda inspired", as it would be "IRA-inspired" or "Nazi-inspired" in the past. At best, redirect to the List of would be supported. Nate (chatter) 14:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This ISIS-inspired attack got the attention to pass WP:GNG. plenty of reliable sourcing as well. BabbaQ (talk) 23:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As is the case with these averted attacks, there is a wealth of WP:ROUTINE coverage consistent with the 24-hour news cycle, and scant follow-up references to demonstrate any level of enduring notability – therefore a failure to meet WP:GNG. I disagree with E.M. Gregory's assertions above that coverage is "in depth" and "extensive" – having read the references given, I would conclude that the standard of coverage is no more extensive than the level that would be expected from any newspaper reporting on the facts of any attempted murder. The argument that the incident is notable because coverage was international is not backed up by any policy – routine international coverage is still routine coverage, and does not demonstrate any enduring notability. I would support merging the content into the proposed list of failed terrorist attacks which generated some support at this related AfD, but I would delete this article. Aspirex (talk) 07:26, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would support the proposal at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 New Year's attack plots and Aspirex's proposal to Merge this article and 2015 New Year's attack plots to a new article with User:Spirit Ethanol's proposed title List of unsuccessful plots inspired or directed by ISIL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:04, 18 February 2016 (UTC) I no longer support merge, with thanks to User:Gerry1214 for teh storng, Deutsch sourcing.

  • Strong Keep I added various sources (and definitely could find much more) how this case fueled the discussion in German media (and not only there) about refugees, their registration and identification, terrorism and much more. This article definitely meets WP:GNG, and it is linked in the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany article, as the case was discussed in the media in the context of these events.

  • I can't abide that. That CNN article states clearly at the top that it is periodically updated - in other words, it is an evergreen list to which CNN adds every terrorist attack as it reports on it. For you to put that up as evidence that this particular incident has gained ongoing coverage is either misguided or misleading. Aspirex (talk) 10:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • My bad. But even if I hastily happened to post an article that was updated a month after the attack, it is the assertion that coverage was local, brief and routine that false. As editors have said better than I below.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:47, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does not matter for what reason an attack on a police station becomes the topic international and national headlines. WP:GNG, WP:EVENT and WP:CRIME all stipulate the type of international press attention that this attack received as indicating notability.
  • WP:RAPID exists precisely because of the lamentable inefficiency of crystal balls, it is policy because you/we cannot yet know how lasting the significance of this event will prove. This Deutsche Welle article [4] will give editors new to this topic an idea of the kind of international attention paid to this incident.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:09, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I fully agree E.M.Gregory. "Minor local event" is obviously wrong. As anyone can read in the article, it is an international event that received significant and ongoing international reception since it happened.--Gerry1214 (talk) 15:49, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerry1214: What "international reception" would that be? If this was an international event what countries were involved? What countries sent aid or issued travel warnings? AusLondonder (talk) 11:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Prominent international newsmedia (UK & USA are overrepresented here, as this is an English page, but also Germany and France, surely more countries) reported, an attacker who travelled in from Tunisia over Romania through the EU to Germany, had 20 identities in 7 different countries, a broad reception in France [5], Spain [6], even more in Germany because of the significant political implications - what is "local" in this case? Events are not notable because of travel warnings or aid offers (WP only would have articles about natural disasters then), but because of WP:GNG. --Gerry1214 (talk) 13:25, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Online news coverage on a couple of days is not what I view as "significant and ongoing international reception" AusLondonder (talk) 22:20, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is not your view which is essential, but WP:GNG. Online/offline is not decisive as long as the sources are reliable, it was much more than "a couple of days", and "ongoing" coverage over weeks is not even needed, but existing here. I wonder why I have to lead this odd discussion here.--Gerry1214 (talk) 09:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of an actor, written suspiciously much more like a public relations advertisement than an encyclopedia article, and not supported by any reliable source coverage about the subject -- the sourcing here is entirely to IMDb, blogs, Facebook and his own self-published résumé on LinkedIn. As always, an actor does not gain an automatic entitlement to have a PR-toned article on Wikipedia just because he exists -- he must be the subject of substantive coverage in independent sources, verifying a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NACTOR, to earn one. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:26, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed the article and modified the language to be more partial and descriptive as an encyclopedia article.

I decided to add Alejandro Torres Menchaca after reading two articles in magazines that were published In the last month. and then looking him up in wikipedia to find more information and not finding anything.

I started my research on the internet, first I went to IMDb and verified his film history. There I found his acting biography written by Max Singer, I contacted Max Singer and he agreed to use this text on Wikipedia. I recently modified his words to make the article more partial.

Then I googled him and found the project "Pecado Original" and all the Paraguayan articles from Magazines and Newspapers talking about the movie and this actors work.

I also went online and verified there were actual ticket sales for the theater projects that are mentioned on his IMDb pro.

Finally i integrated the information on the two printed articles that talk about the projects Pecado Original, Rey and his work as an Entrepreneur,

One of the articles (Revista "Emprendedores") mentions Kinomark.com and how he started the project and failed and how he learned from his failure, It also mentions his Movie Pecado Original and Rey. The other article (Revista "Cine y Más") talks about his moving to LA and studying at Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, It also mentions The movies Pecado Original and Rey.

I will keep updating the Wikipedia article as I find more electronic articles and news. Though the article is fully based on published information and there are online articles and references about most of the information.

As per the general notability guidelines there needs to be significant coverage about Bhavesh k pandey in reliable sources that are independent of him. That means his Facebook page doesn't count because that's not independent, and neither does the pages of the organisation he is involved with. You need several major national or regional, or international, newspapers writing articles that talk about him in depth. --OpenFuture (talk) 23:37, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a television presenter, which does little more than assert that he exists and cites no reliable source coverage at all to make his existence noteworthy. As always, a television personality is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- RS coverage, supporting a notability claim that would satisfy WP:CREATIVE, must be present to support it. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Richardson (presenter), a colleague of Savage's who was deleted a few weeks ago for also being completely unsourced and unsourceable. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:27, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - He is notable for working for multiple companies such as Ginx TV and Disney. He is notable, probably more so than your example, as he presents Planet of the Apps as well as The First Hour.

Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are not passed by asserting that they're passed. They're passed by reliably sourcing that they're passed, and no claim of notability, not even "president of the entire world", confers an exemption from having to meet WP:GNG on the sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 22:33, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thing is, a media person will naturally feature in a lot of websites, that's their job. What's needed is evidence that they're notable in that people have written articles about them. Plenty of writers at content farms probably write ten articles a day or more. That doesn't make them notable. Blythwood (talk) 22:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear what this list is about. Are the killings unlawful? If so, are they done "on the job", or by a law enforcement officer in their spare time? It mentions China, is that Republic of China or the People's Republic of China? The reference of Brazil says

At least 2,212 people were killed by the police in Brazil in 2013, according to the Brazilian Public Security Forum, an independent research group, and experts say the actual number is probably substantially higher because some states do not report killings by their police forces.

So the source self says the number is unreliable. Seems like WP:SYNTH to me. Soetermans. T / C 13:19, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the topic looks perfectly encyclopedic and I'm not seeing a coherent rationale for deletion. It is obvious from the links given that plenty of reliable sources on the topic of the number of people killed by law enforcement in various countries and territories, and that there are many organisations which try to come up with estimates. I don't view the quotation above as saying that the number is unreliable, just that it's a conservative estimate rather than an exact figure. We have plenty of lists of figures where the available reliable sources can't be precise or where they differ - we just indicate that and if they disagree we give the competing estimates. Look at List of wars by death toll where the estimates differ by tens of millions. More sources and statistics would certainly help and may answer some of the questions raised above, although honestly some of the answers are pretty obvious (no, these aren't unlawful killings, and "China" almost certainly refers to the PRC as in common usage). That's hardly a reason for deletion though. Hut 8.5 23:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment/question: It's a GNIS location. When are GNIS locations notable, and when not? What about wp:GEOLAND. I wonder if it is a climbing target. Also because "Tom Thumb" is good name for a rock that looks like a thumb, there will be other locations of this name, so the page could be converted to a disambiguation page.
Or this Tommeliten Rock and others could be mentioned at a Tommeliten disambiguation page. This page suggests there could be a "Tommeliten Rock" in Svalbard or nearby, towards the other polar extreme. Also on the Sognalsfjorden extension of the Sognefjord in Norway, there is a Tommeliten which may be a "crag", i.e. pretty much would be a rock or a peak. Here is a pic of rock-climbing on Tommeliten.
Hmm, here is page indicating that Antarctica's Tommeliten Rock is also known as Tommeliten and is a 993 meter hill (or peak?). That is high, in Antarctica, I think. It seems to be a significant geographical feature. Also it seems to be the location of a "seep ecosystem" or a "methane seep", so some sources that at first look like they could be about the North Sea oil field may be about the Antarctic location.
There's an important Tommeliten oil field in the North Sea where for example Conoco was prepared to invest $2.24 billion. --doncram 02:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just a note for the height, List of mountains of East Antarctica lists the tallest peaks in East Antarctica, where the rock is located. The peaks listed are 2,000+ meters, so 993 meters probably is not considered "tall" for Antarctica. Will211 (talk) 03:05, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Found and added Category:Nunataks of Queen Maud Land. It is one of 87 nunataks each having a short article. All 87 of these, plus others in other sections of Antarctica, could possibly be merged into a list-article of them. And each topic could be changed to be a redirect to the corresponding list-item. However keeping all as separate articles is also okay, and easier. --doncram 02:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but.... On the face of it, there's nothing really notable here. I took a look at a random sampling of articles from Category:Nunataks of Queen Maud Land. My overall impression is that combining them all into a single article or list would be the right thing to do. It's worth discussing (I'm not sure what the right forum would be) the idea of a big merge. But, until we decide to do that, picking one arbitrary one to nuke just seems silly. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – It says right in the article, "Plants collected by Hooker from Auckland and Campbell Islands are listed below". Seems rather easy to comprehend. Additional discussion is occurring on the article's talk page. North America1000 12:29, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- I suspect that this was the first work on the subject. It will thus be a significant work in the history of botany. On the other hand, by providing long lists of species, it is horribly unreadable. Nevertheless, I can see the possibilities of an acceptable category, "flora first described in Flora Antartica". The number of red-links suggests that there is much work to be done! Peterkingiron (talk) 16:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this was a famous and pioneering expedition, and its record of the botany of the Antarctic is unquestionably notable. Whether the article ought to contain lists is a separate matter: they might be subsidiary articles. The Flora is as you'd expect mentioned in botany texts; Charles Darwin thanked J. D. Hooker for an early copy and wanted to discuss its evolutionary implications ... this is such an obvious keep I'm bemused by its nomination really. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:00, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious Keep. A book on one of the first scientific expeditions to Antarctica, written by one of the greatest biologists ever. I don't understand why this is nominated at all. If Dwergenpaartje is upset about the clearly inappropriate tag placed by a new page patroller they could just have removed it.--Lemnaminor (talk) 18:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Advertorially toned and almost entirely primary sourced WP:BLP of a musician whose one-man-band pseudonym already has an article. Literally nothing here suggests or reliably sources any conceivable reason why we could possibly need two separate articles about him-as-Owl-City and him-as-himself (especially given that him-as-himself is still mostly about him-as-Owl-City.)

The sourcing in this article is entirely to primary sources, blogs and social media content. But NMUSIC is not passed by asserting that it's passed — it's passed by reliably sourcing that it's passed, and there's no reliable sourcing about him as a topic in his own right independently of the band: any RS coverage that exists about him is covering "him as Owl City", not "him as a separate topic in his own right independently of Owl City". And NMUSIC explicitly states that a musician gets a redirect to his band, not a standalone BLP as a separate topic from his band, if the sourcing for him as a separate topic is band-dependent. Bearcat (talk) 18:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge to Owl City. Certainly needs a lot of work to see what can be reliably sourced and then whether a separate article is justified, but I don't see a case for deletion/redirect without merge. --Michig (talk) 20:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I completely agree with this recommendation. For instance, consider the press coverage of his recent film score endeavor here and here. While I remain skeptical that we'll find enough information to let this article stand on its own merit in terms of reliable sources, I think it would be best merged into Owl City as opposed to a simple delete and redirect. Wizoomer95 (talk) 07:36, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • After pulling information from this article for his other band Swimming With Dolphins (band)‎, I agree that this article needs a cleanup. There's too much unreliable information, most of which is duplicated on the Owl City article anyway. (Maybe moving all of the Owl City information to its' article would be a good start.) If someone can condense it down to information from verifiable sources that focus more on Adam's personal life, film score, or other projects, I believe it should stay. Otherwise I guess a redirect to Owl City will have to do. --KiRaShi 22:54, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Owl City as he's imaginably going to get mentions but all of this is still questionable for a solidly independently notable article. SwisterTwister talk 07:34, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Owl City at least; but preferably, keep and improve – For the record, a merge to Owl City was proposed back in 2012, which I was indecisive about (and still am). Reviewing the state of source coverage, I'm inclined to agree that the majority of coverage discusses Young only in relation to Owl City. WP:MUSICBIO states that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Adam Young has done independent musical work outside of Owl City. Here are a few sources (they do mention Owl City and some make comparisons to it, but the overall main focus of each source is on the non-Owl City project):
It's questionable whether these projects give credence to Young's standalone notability, but they do make me opposed to redirecting without merging. They're notable enough to deserve a mention somewhere Wikipedia, be it in the Owl City article, perhaps in a new "Side projects" section, or in an Adam Young article. A great deal of the current Adam Young article is based solely upon primary sources—a lot of the PureVolume pages don't adequately verify that the composer is Adam Young. These should probably be cut. Verifiable biographical information about Young's personal life should be merged too. Mz7 (talk) 22:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a musician, relying almost entirely on primary sources, blogs and Twitter for sourcing -- out of the 16 sources in the article, literally the only remotely reliable ones are a 99-word blurb in a magazine and an article in Billboard which glancingly namechecks her existence in the process of failing to be about her. This is not how a musician gets a Wikipedia article -- WP:NMUSIC is not passed by asserting that it's passed, but by reliably sourcing that it's passed, and no RS coverage means no article. Delete.

  • Keep.It's the existence of reliable sources that matters when we are judging notability, not how well the article is sourced, and you show no evidence in your nomination that you looked beyond what is currently in the article. A quick Google found pieces from American Songwriter, StarTribune.com, and Seventeen. --Michig (talk) 20:37, 25 February 2016 (UTC) Here's another. --Michig (talk) 20:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm agreeing with Michig. Plus an informal test I have is readership and Breanne's page is getting 80 pageviews per day; while readership is not an official guideline at Wikipedia, my experience from many AfD discussions is that rarely do pages with such attention get deleted. Therefore, it is not worth my searching further.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:38, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft and userfy as my searches found only a few passing mentions at News Books, nothing outstandingly convincing. Although viewers may be searching this article, there are no currently convincing signs of better improvements yet. SwisterTwister talk 07:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You think this should be moved to draft space and user space at the same time? How would that work? Why do there need to be signs of improvement? What has that got to do with notability? Did you look at the coverage I linked above? --Michig (talk) 18:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly sourced article about a band whose strongest claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC is the fact that it was started by a musician who attained notability with a different band he started after leaving this one. The sourcing here is abysmal, to boot -- of the 33 sources here, every last man jack one of them is to blogs, Facebook, Tumblr, Soundcloud, Indiegogo, YouTube, iTunes or Amazon.com, with not even one single solitary shred of reliable source coverage in the entire pile. This is not how a band gets a Wikipedia article -- even if they technically met every criteria in NMUSIC, the article would still have to be reliably sourced to actually get them over NMUSIC. Delete.

Two of those three links are blogs which don't count as reliable sources, and while an album review in a real music magazine (which only Alternative Press is) counts as valid sourcing, it can't carry WP:GNG by itself as an article's only valid sourcing.

Looks like he registered a non-profit, but I can find nothing whatsoever in terms of sources since then. Even if there were more sources, all we have is "guy said he wanted to build an aquarium in Rhode Island". If it gets off the ground, it'll probably be notable at some point, but most definitely is not now.

  • Keep or at best Redirect because I believe I have seen others such as DGG note that some articles can be considered notable. SwisterTwister talk 20:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think the comment above means that I've said that articles like this one on spouses of heads of state, have often been considered notable here; I think they almost always have, & it's good to be consistent. (Articles on of spouses of heads of government have usually not been kept on hat reason alone, although I think they ought to be, ) In general I think enough information could be found in local sources--Sri Lanka topics have been very hard to deal with here, so the basic principle is avoiding cultural bias.

  • Comment - A detailed search has not provided any additional information on the subject apart from that she exists and is the wife of the president and therefore fails WP:GNG. At best this should be a Redirect until such time that additional information can be provided. Dan arndt (talk) 14:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think she's likely "inherently notable" per our policies (WP:inherit makes such a claim at least), but in English at least I can't find anything of any significance. There may well be things out there, and I think the bar would be pretty low for those sources. But until there is significant coverage of her, I'd say we should have a Redirect to her husband--more as an editorial thing than anything. If there is even one solid interview/overview of _her_ out there, I'd go with keep. Certainly opposed to deletion as a reasonable search term AND the fact I can't imagine we won't have an article here at some point soon. Hobit (talk) 15:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • As I said at the DRV - all the sources we've been able to find treat her as a one- or two-sentence mention in articles about her husband, so we should do the same, and there's already more information in Maithripala Sirisena#Family and personal life than there is in this article. It doesn't make sense to turn this into a redlink, so redirect there until the sourcing situation changes. —Cryptic 04:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Several of the early deletion opinions did not take into account the expansion of the article by Megalibrarygirl, and thus consensus seems to support keeping the article. That said, if any uninvolved editor thinks this close is inappropriate, feel free to revert. (non-admin closure) ansh666 10:06, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There are a number of hits on Google for her, however none of these appear to be in reliable sources. The results I am finding are blogs or Reddit. What happened to her COULD be seen as notable....if it was appropriately covered in reliable sources. Delete for now, but if she was covered later on I wouldn't be opposed to re-adding her. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:25, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This stub is part of a project for a class, Women in Warfare, which includes studying gender in the military. The stub is meant to be an encyclopedic profile of a U.S. military personnel, and the "news" aspect of it is only the truth. Although perhaps not significant in previous literature or encyclopedic knowledge, Goodwin is included as military personnel for her duty, and we would like to bring her to light. Furthermore, it would be remiss to build her profile without including the story of what happened to her, as it gives further significance to the topic of her death. We would like the chance to continue working on this article. Hannahelong (talk) 14:53, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's a good project you are working on, however please bear in mind that subjects on Wikipedia are required to meet certain aspects such as notability. In this case there just isn't any reliable sources to verify this. While yes she did serve in the military, and the events that occurred to her are tragic, it doesn't necessarily equal the creation of a Wikipedia page for her.

  • revisiting the NYTimes reference is in the paper's online photojournalism blog, "Lens" and is a mention in a short list of military rapers. CNN article has 3 paragraphs. The Business Insider source does not mention Goodwin or the other rape victims in the film by name. It references a Salon story on which the film is based, but I cannot find Goodwin at Salon.com. I do not doubt the horror or rape in the military, or of what happened ot Goodwin. Frankly, writing this makes me feel like I'm supporting rape, but, It's just that the sources do not seem to be there to support notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Doublechecking myself, a news search [24] leaving out her middle name turns up little; much of what it does turn up are false leads, including pages where Goodwin is mentioned in the online comments section, not in the actual article. Unless somebody can bring sources.... sometimes they exist, even though they fail to show up on searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Invisible War, which seems to be the reason her name pops up in many articles about sexual assault in the military. --OpenFuture (talk) 16:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory and OpenFuture: My preference is for her to have her own article. I think the fact that she's covered around the world is pretty important. I know she's not the full subject of the articles she's written up in, but she's pretty important in those articles. That said, if the consensus is to have her redirected and the information about her is included in The Invisible War, I'd rather that happen than her article be deleted. So I'm good with that if my opinion is in the minority. Thanks everyone who is working to come up with valid solutions on this topic. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:23, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:BIO. It appears that WP:1E is applicable here. Notified the author already on their talk page, even offered to Draftify it for them, and gave some time to resolve.

  • Comment from page creator This was a long time ago, but I apparently created this because Racial equality was a disambiguation page at the time, but when I was going through fixing links to disambiguation pages, it became clear that an actual page was appropriate at Racial equality, so I moved all the disambiguation stuff here. I've no real opinion on keeping this as a dab page or not, so I'll defer to people who know more about disambiguation than I do. I'll attempt to be marginally useful and notify them by doing a deletion sorting for this. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:59, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
