A biography of a quack which has been toned down to be less promotional, but still every single source is either primary, unreliable, or in some cases both. There are no reliable independent sources discussing the subject - the closes we get is a quote or two. Guy (Help!) 23:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello Guy, I have asked for review of the article and am working on adding additional, more reliable sources for the article. I would like to have some contributions from some of the contributors versus having it removed. AChrisTurner (talk) 00:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. User:AChrisTurner, I think you are wasting your time. The subject is not notable and it is not an article. It is an advertisement littered with many unreliable sources. The first source points to the Palmer College of Chiropractic. It gets worse after that. QuackGuru (talk) 01:20, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless reliable sources can be found. If the guy really did appear on Dr. Oz's show, there should be independent sources verifying it. However, that may not be true and the article does look like a flat out ad. White Arabian Filly Neigh 01:40, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @White Arabian Fily and QuackGuru: thank you for the feedback. I genuinely thought/think he was noteworthy enough to be included. I will see what I citable sources I can find related to the Dr Oz aside from the show website itself.
  • Weak keep per sourcing such as New Beauty which describe him as "certified nutrition specialist Josh Axe". Valoem talk contrib 03:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fluff-packed article with a whole lot of ridiculous claims. And a whole lot of practitioners of questionable medicine have appeared on Dr. Oz; that claim means nothing. Nate • (chatter) 03:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless better sources are found. There are traces of notability here, but the sources are not strong enough to confirm it for me. Many appear very similar to the clickbait that pops up on my non-adblocked laptop ("The 8 Complaints Nutritionists Hear Most", "6 Habits You Should Kick In Your 20s, For A Long, Healthy, & Happy Life" and all the others start "The 3..., 5... or 7... ways to be a better person") Others look like advertising.[2] According to the Palmer source[3] (which appears to be a testimonial) he worked with Ryan Lochte, which depending on the level of work might push him close to notable. The only other mention of this is sourced to a biography.com article and as well as being unreliable does not even mention Axe.[4] AIRcorn (talk) 09:39, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non notable. Appearing on the Dr. Oz show and being consulted for a listicle isn't anywhere near enough to establish notability. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 14:39, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The article relies on very poor sources that seem to be the result of rampant self-promotion in mediocre publications. Delta13C (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Small newspapers, or content aggregators, do not carry as much weight as major publications. We'd need lots of local + at least regional coverage, but there would still be challenges meeting notability. Delta13C (talk) 00:59, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ruth Kearney[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustain article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and WP:ENT. The new article is substantially the same as the one which the last three AfD's determined did not show sufficient notability to have a stand alone article. The sources are cast announcements/bare mentions and two links to her management agency.

Since this article is regularly recreated the title should either be WP:SALTED or, if redirected, full protected until there is actually coverage that passed GNG/ENT. JbhTalk 00:39, 21 February 2016 (UTC) [reply]

  • Delete and salt - per arguments of the nominator. Nothing has changed since the last AfD, which was only 6 months ago. Since the article has been recreated despite the outcome of previous AfDs, I agree with the suggestion to salt it. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources have been significantly improved since the last AFD. Refence 1 is a new one and is an article directly about the actress, from the Irish Independent, over 200 words. Reference 9 is a new reference, another article from the Irish Independent, directly about her and although there is an interview in the second half, there are about 400 words of straight prose about her. Reference 12 from The Irish Times is a smaller mention, but altogether I think there is enough RS for WP:Verifiability.Atlantic306 (talk) 03:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter how good, or how many sources there are, the subject still needs to meet WP:NACTOR, and she doesn't seem to do this. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BASIC and the following paragraph Additional Criteria make clear that WP:NACTOR is a guideline to help determine if RS are likely to be found, and not meeting any of its criteria is not a barrier to inclusion if RS can be found to pass WP:Verifiability ( I've had this explained to me by admin).Atlantic306 (talk) 01:44, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, RS can be used, and should over Nactor, but, these sources have to be in depth. The Irish Indo ones, just about do this, but the others dont discuss the subject in detail. Considering the size of the article and these two sources, the rest mainly listings and mentions dont give a full case for notability yet. Murry1975 (talk) 10:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I would argue that the actress is just about notable enough to meet Nactor. She has been in three cult television shows, most notably Primeval where she was a leading cast member. The other two are within the past couple of years, and are only recurring roles, but one lasted 11 episodes, so the actress was a pretty major part of that season. All the other credits prior to this are completely throwaway, and are just guest appearances. She is also set to appear as the female lead in Flaked in a couple of weeks time. This seems to be a pretty major role to me, and I'm sure will get a lot of publicity as all Netflix shows seem to do. It is a shame that the writer who recreated this article didn't wait a couple of weeks, because there might be some interviews around which would be better sources, although we can't predict the future. Still she is the female lead in the role, and that will bring additional interest to her. Overall, I think the sources are fine. There's a couple of in-depth interviews, and then the rest are mainly just mentions, but apart from one or two they're a lot better than when the previous deletion discussions took place. Finally, since the article was recreated it has averaged over 1000 views per day. This seems to indicate there is significant interest in the actress. I also don't think it would be wise to salt, because it can only be a matter of time before there are enough sources for an article (if there aren't now), perhaps even a few weeks. There's obviously interest in the actress, so we shouldn't make it difficult to recreate the article, ans she's hardly a controversial figure. Having said that I would still be for keeping the article now.IdenticalHetero (talk) 14:28, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still averaging over 1000 view per day, I would be much more of a strong keep now. There's plenty of interest in the actress IdenticalHetero (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Page views can be used to determine the primary topic, but aren't relevant to determining notability or whether a page should be kept. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:37, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Significant role in Primeval and a lead in Flaked satisfies WP:NACTOR. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:45, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources have been significantly improved since the article was initially recreated. Even today I added an interview from a magazine. There's more interviews, and some good websites, such as Deadline and Variety. Most importantly it satisfies WP:NACTOR Somethingwickedly (talk) 23:26, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein  21:08, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Important role plus newspaper coverage focused on her meets GNG. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:17, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Recent, ongoing, international newspaper coverage meets GNG. 3rd AfD close was improper as NAC closing against numerical consensus to keep. Jclemens (talk) 06:57, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Significant roles in three or four television shows is good enough notability wise (GNG/ENT), with other minor roles as well. Been significantly improved since it was recreated. Sources are good enough with a few good interviews and good websites/newspapers. Cindlevet (talk) 20:11, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As a notable event, this doesn't seem notable enough to pass WP:GNG. Also, with the lack of references establishing notability, this article seems like a WP:NOTWIKIA violation.

Do we perhaps need an ANI thread to straighten this out? - SummerPhDv2.0 20:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SummerPhDv2.0, I've noticed the same thing. The only upside to all of the AfD nominations is that they are helping to further source the articles they nominated, but it's also frustrating. The common thread is that the nominator is targeting Autistic organizations that promote a "non cure" approach to dealing with autism, whereas Jonathan Mitchell wants to "cure" autism. It seems like these camps are diametrically opposed. Normally, I focus on women's bios, but I have family members with autism, so these AfD nominations have been troubling to me. I don't think an investigation is out of line. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:36, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am John Elder Robison, the subject of this article and page. I distressed to find that user Leventhal has seemingly mounted a campaign to destroy the usefulness of the page. I see some things have been removed for lack of citations, and other things on the page are wrong.

First of all, I see the information about my work in music was deleted for lack of references. The story of my work with KISS and Britannia Row (Pink Floyd's sound company in the 70s) was told in my book Look Me in the Eye and it's widely discussed online, etc. This link goes to a blog post of mine that offers some facts and photos of me and my work from that period. You are welcome to use the photos of me, my son, my late ex-wife, and my KISS stuff including my photo ID under the Wikimedia Creative Commons license on my page. http://jerobison.blogspot.com/p/the-kiss-guitars-and-my-life-in-music.html

The article says I was married twice. Actually I was married three times. 1st - Mary Lee Trompke (died 2014) who is the mother of my son Jack "Cubby" Robison 2nd - Martha Schuette who still owns Robison Service with me. 3rd - Maripat Jordan - writer and neurodiversity activist

The article also has at times said I am self-diagnosed. That is incorrect and it's an important error to fix. I was diagnosed by a therapist friend at age 40, as described in the chapter "A Diagnosis at Forty" in Look Me in the Eye. Later, when I joined various autism research studies, I was diagnosed using the "gold standard" ADOS screening tools at Harvard Medical School and the University of Pennsylvania autism clinic. I have also been diagnosed using both conventional and experimental techniques at other institutions in the USA and Europe.

The article has said at various times that I "Worked for Autism Speaks." That is not true. I was a member of the science board from 2008-2013 and resigned in protest after the founder made remarks that I felt were offensive to autistic people. That resignation letter is widely circulated online and cited in my page. I was never an AS employee; I was a volunteer board member.

Leventhal has also attacked the Wikipedia pages for Look Me in the Eye, and other places I am mentioned. I see most of the foreign editions of my book have been removed for "lack of citation" What sort of proof is expected, beyond a name and a publisher? I am going to post the names and publishers, and photos here as soon as I figure out how to put up photos.

I'd be happy to talk to any of you who are interested in constructive editing of this page. You can write me through Wikipedia mail or you can look me up on the William & Mary neurodiversity page.

(I especially liked the SPA's removal of the PROD with the specious and misleading edit summary of "Added reference for awards section." Such sources that are presented are bits from small local papers, interviews of the sort debarred by WP:ROUTINE, and blogsites.

I do see that the cow sculpture appears to have been directly influenced by the film so we may be able to justify notability for this by including a subsection for the sculpture specifically.

Two articles which list what I'm presuming are the #1 singles on a pop chart, but which completely fail to specify or source what pop chart they hit #1 on. This is a type of article that we do allow for certain notable charts that pass WP:CHARTS, if the information in them can be referenced as accurate -- but if the article is unsourced, and doesn't even contain enough context for us to determine whether the chart in question is a notable one or an individual radio station or a user's own self-created blogchart, then that's not an article we can keep. Delete, unless somebody can actually figure out what chart is involved here. Bearcat (talk) 18:54, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I'm not sure what the nominator's connection is, but the non-response response, the heavy-handed edits[5][6] and another eventual acknowledgment of a COI (here) lead to the my question. That said, I'm trying to see if there is a reason to delete here. The nominator concluded the site "has been noted"[7], but feels the coverage in media has been "generally repetitive and trivial". "Repetitive"? I don't care. "Trivial"? I disagree, as did both of the prior AfD discussions. The site is clearly notable. IMO, that notability is clearly independent of its creator and a merge would result in an article that either loses substantial portions of the material here or meanders between topics. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only claim to fame is being the child of a movie star; however, this is not enough to warrant an independent article (just ask Brooklyn Beckham). The article talks a lot about Aryan Khan being "destined" to be a star, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so he should not have his own article until he actually is a star. Also, even if the article were to be kept, it is horrendously promotional in tone, to the point where I think it'd be hard to salvage it into a decent article without just doing a rewrite.

This so-called Tunisian Latin alphabet seems to be the creation of its sole contributor on Wikipedia. It falsely claims to be one of the two writing systems for writing Tunisian Arabic yet has no sources to corroborate the claim.

It should probably be removed if it's bogus.

Delete. (1) I can find no evidence anywhere that the concept "ABC Soap Opera Universe" has received any coverage anywhere other than in this Wikipedia article. (2) The article is a mixture of unnecessary repetition of content contained in other articles, unsourced original comment, and unexplained lists of titles without context.

  • Airline companies are generally notable. There is coverage online and in English that arguably satisfies GNG, but we need to know the name of the airline in Ukrainian. This being Ukrainian, there is probably a large number of offline sources in Ukrainian libraries (NRVE). In any event, as this could be merged and redirected to List of airlines of Ukraine, deletion would violate ATD, PRESERVE and R. James500 (talk) 19:04, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Airline companies are generally notable." Even if it's true, that's an observation, not a rule.
If a topic is notable, then it's notable regardless of the notability of topics in the same category. If a topic isn't notable, then, likewise, its lack of notability isn't affected by the notability or non-notability of topics in the same category. Therefore, the argument "This topic is in category X, and topics in category X are generally notable" isn't a valid argument in evaluating the notability of a topic.
There isn't anything special about this article or this topic such that deleting it on the grounds of failing WP:N would be any more a violation of WP:ATD or WP:PRESERVE than the deletion of every other article that is removed on the grounds of a lack of notability. WP:ATD doesn't even apply here. Its thesis is "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." A lack of notability cannot be resolved by improving a page, as it's a characteristic of the topic, not the content. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:12, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting a plausible (ie non-harmful) redirect violates ATD and R. Deleting mergeable content violates ATD and PRESERVE. Without exception, whether the topic is notable or not. We also accept the proposition that some things are so likely to satisfy GNG that they may be presumed to merit an article. There is such a fanbase and publishing industry for all things aeroplane related that it is unlikely that an airline company would not receive significant coverage. I can think of an explanation of why there may be offline coverage (GBooks is, as far as I am aware, not digitising the contents of Ukrainian libraries and seems to have a pronounced bias towards America and Britain because that is where it gets books from) and in the absence of a search for paper sources in a well stocked national or university library in Ukraine, I don't consider that presumption rebutted. James500 (talk) 19:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We aren't talking about a redirect here so your comment about WP:R is irrelevant.
How seriously do you expect us to take the proposition that the deletion of thousands of articles on Wikipedia that has occurred over all these years under the clearly laid out provisions for doing so is in violation of Wikipedia's rules? Fact: We routinely delete articles for failing WP:N.
"We also accept the proposition that some things are so likely to satisfy GNG that they may be presumed to merit an article." No, we do not accept the proposition that because one person has declared something, from his own impressions, likely to meet GNG that we declare it to meet GNG whether or not it actually does.
When someone questions the notability of a topic, telling us without evidence that you just assume the topic meets GNG isn't a helpful response. A useful response is one that shares findings that demonstrate that that topic meets WP:GNG or WP:CORP.
Frankly, I don't understand the idea that any time someone with an aviation background decides to buy a couple of planes to hire out, the business is automatically notable. Is every cab driver who goes into business for himself notable? —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:52, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even if common practice happens to be to retain airlines with scheduled flights, I'm not convinced that it's warranted here with cargo rather than passenger flights, and the contents of the article appears at risk of being and becoming inaccurate given the lack of RS and that it appears to be a snapshot of a particular time.

  • Tentative delete. I think our general practice has been to keep articles about scheduled airlines.

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) None of its sources discuss characters of the series as a topic, and there doesn't appear to be anything that could help in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. A redirect or selective merge to the series article (Bloody Roar#Characters) could suffice, but there's no reason to split out in this much primary source detail without secondary source coverage as justification for the split. czar 13:23, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge The first paragraphs of the sections seem to detail the characters where as the rest seems to go on about game plots and events. I noticed that most of the text is just taken from this Wiki: http://bloodyroar.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters. Since that Wiki exists and with the same text, I think we can with safe conscience just delete most of the text and only have brief characterizations. Lastly I think it's a somewhat of an obscure series. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:28, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In addition for some reason the main article of the series is completely without sources: Bloody Roar. It's also bit of a stub for a series article. I think a Merge will do nicely. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Bloody Roar as stated above. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per the reception from secondary sources already in the article, and sources such as these that talk about one or more Bloody Roar characters [9] [10] [11]. Those ones I found after a quick search, and these should be enough to pass the WP:GNG. I'll try to find more later. I see no good reason to cram all the characters on the series article. @Mr. Magoo and McBarker:, how do you know that wiki didn't just take the text from that page on this wiki, rather than the other way around? Either way, the article should be fixed, not merged or deleted. Kokoro20 (talk) 17:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The precedent, based on the Ken Rosenberg RFC, is that video game character listicle entries are alone insufficient to substantiate a full article. Serge has more on how these individual sources fare below, and it is hard to dispute that the listicle entries say next to nothing about the characters nevertheless the series. Furthermore there's nothing to show that the characters, as an entity, are somehow better known separately or in voluminous detail from the series. czar 00:05, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But Ken Rosenberg is just one case (which it's outcome I still disagree with). We don't need to necessarily base everything around that decision. The idea that listicles shouldn't be used to establish notability, regardless of context, is just ridiculous and overly strict. Kokoro20 (talk) 01:09, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alas, that is the difference between an individual opinion and a substantive consensus. The three links above don't even come close to the coverage Ken Rosenberg had, but the point is that scraping together a few mentions (especially in low-quality listicles) does not constitute significant coverage for a dedicated encyclopedia article. czar 03:44, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into the over-arching series article. That one's pretty short while this list is 95% original research. I don't see why any useful content couldn't exist within Bloody Roar. If it does get too big for the series article at some point, it can always be split again, but that would probably need a lot more than five or six sources. ~Mable (chat) 18:26, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, albeit it extremely selectively, as it seems to be overwhelmingly unsourced in-universe ramblings about the characters rather than encyclopedic entries. Sergecross73 msg me 18:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per points raised by Kokoro20. The series article is a bit small, but that in itself can be expanded and doesn't need its characters cluttering it up. I don't believe the solution for expanding that article is to merge the characters into it. I do believe though that the character descriptions can be trimmed down, add some development (or an overall concept and creation section), and more reception. --JDC808 ♫ 18:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That sourcing is extremely weak though. I mean, what are you supposed to do with this source? Its a few sentences worth of "Wouldn't it be cool if this crossover game happened?" The Complex sources aren't much better. They could source a factoid here or there, but I fail to see how one would write a WP:GNG-passing, non-in-universe article around them... Sergecross73 msg me 18:52, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I didn't say the sourcing was strong. I didn't even look at the sources, but rather Kokoro90's willingness to find sources (as they said, those were just from a quick search). I'll leave it to the editor(s) to find more, reliable sources, and give them time to try and make this a suitable character list with my suggestions. --JDC808 ♫ 22:28, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, what are you saying then? Are you giving an "Keep" !vote based on weak sourcing and someone giving it some effort, only to come up with really weak sources? Because that's pretty much the extent of his argument. That's...not the strongest rationale... Sergecross73 msg me 22:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm saying keep and give the editor(s) time to edit the article and actually find sources beyond a "quick search". They're obviously willing to improve the article, so I say give them a shot. --JDC808 ♫ 00:19, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. Passes WP:Prof#C1 with an h-index of 24. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • Weak keep. I don't understand why his employer profile lists him as an assistant professor [12] when his citation record [13] looks so strong. Anyway, I agree with Xxanthippe that he passes WP:PROF#C1. His Google scholar profile is a bit of a mess (the top-cited entry actually merges two papers and then the second paper is listed separately but crossed out) but I think the actual numbers with this mistake fixed (213 cites for "Ethnomedicinal botany of the Apatani in the Eastern Himalayan region of India", 190 for "Developing the medicinal plants sector in northern India: challenges and opportunities", then 160, 159, 143, etc) are quite strong; also several of these papers are singly authored so there's no concern of sharing credit. The reason my keep is only weak is that if one looks a little more in-depth at the citations themselves, something looks off. E.g. among the 213 papers citing his top paper, seven of them begin "An ethnobotanical survey was", four of them begin "Plants have traditionally been used as a source of medicine", etc. Is such a high level of copying typical in this area? If so maybe we should discount the numbers somehow. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. There does seem to be self-citation. Thus Weak. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:18, 1 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Remember. notability guidelines are only indications of the type of subject who is likely to be notable - i.e. for whom reliable independent sources are likely to exist. ere, none are presented. Guy (Help!) 00:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? Take a look at the scholar link. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:01, 2 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Specifically this quote from it: "This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines ... and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the General Notability Guideline....[I]f an academic is notable under this guideline, his or her failure to meet either the General Notability Guideline or other subject-specific notability guidelines is irrelevant." -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 07:29, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree w/ David that the cites look a bit fishy, but if it's true that they're not real cites, it's not just WP misrepresentation, it's overall academic fraud (that would concern not just his having a WP article, but his whole research and career), and there's a limit to what AfD voters can be expected to or should adjudicate. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 07:29, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article has no reliable independent sources. It has a publisher's resume (not independent) and claim of one paper being much cited, for which the source is the paper itself. It claims he has published "more than 17" (how many? 18?), but fewer than 20 published papers is not a lot, frankly. Guy (Help!) 11:46, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I think this is worthy of further investigation. He is the head of what seems to be a very important research organization at Tokyo University. The translation of the English pages describing the organization is not fantastic, but there are more details in the Japanese-language sources. I found via a quick search that he is also the lead editor of the latest edition of the Japanese textbook on Urology. I haven't looked at any guidelines about what makes a researcher/doctor/author notable, but on the face of it I think this is worthy of a proper examination.

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

I have searched extensively, and failed to finds any evidence that this subject comes near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I found a download site which stores Netflix Falcor, blog posts, a page asking for help in developing Netflix Falcor, a page on a website which exists to publicise "Internet-based application programming interfaces", Twitter, YouTube, etc, but nothing like the sort of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources needed. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article was nominated for speedy deletion by Anarchyte, on the basis of speedy deletion criteria A7 (no indication of importance) and G11 (promotion). At first, I speedily deleted the article, but on reflection I think that was a mistake: although I agree that there is no indication of significance, it is not about a person, animal, organisation, web content, or an event, and so does not qualify for A7, and although the article seems to be intended to publicise the subject and encourage readers to regard it as useful, it is not so blatantly promotional as to justify a G11 deletion, so I have restored the article and brought it here for discussion. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:04, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding to what :@JamesBWatson: have said let me provide big picture of the Falcor.JS. The library is non-profit, open-source project. It has 1700 commits (and a lots of lines of code) to it's GH repo: https://github.com/Netflix/falcor/commits/master , the library is in production on the Netflix's main website and the developers from netflix has open-sourced that library last year. From my perspective, I have googled and didn't find any wikipedia entry on that topic so I added one few days ago. The Falcor Netlix is non-commerce open-source library. About myself: I am a javascript developer, this is my github profile -> https://github.com/przeor/ ... I am NOT ASSOCIATED with Netflix and I use the Falcor.js in my project. I think it may be useful covered this topic of open-source library on Wikipedia as I find this library very useful. Przeor1989 (talk) 12:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Per WP:GNG - I found these sources to show notability ([14], [15], [16], primary source), but only three of them are secondary. I'm not seeing enough to assert significant coverage (WP:TOOSOON?). For this reason, I don't believe that it meets WP:GNG. If there are others I missed, or if there's enough others that show significant coverage, please let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: On the Too soon page you can read: "A good example of this is Paris Jackson, as seen at this Articles for Deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paris Katherine Jackson. At the time of the discussion, she had been announced as the star of a film that would be released a year after - however, the film had not actually been released yet. If or when the film is released, and if Jackson is the star of the film, she likely will merit an article, but not until then." This example says, that the film wasn't been released, PLEASE NOTICE that Falcor is over 2 years old, and the Falcor was released in June 2016 - it doesn't look for me too soon (as on the example on Wikipedia:Too Soon), as more and more people will use this technology in their javascript's projects (like me) Przeor1989 (talk) 12:50, 15 February 2016 (UTC) Przeor1989 (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, but humor aside, It's too soon because significant coverage hasn't yet occurred. It doesn't matter how old something is, or when it was released. That's what WP:TOOSOON can also mean. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: ;-P I meant June 2015. Generally speaking, that Library has 5489 stars on GitHub (https://github.com/Netflix/falcor/stargazers) and 3345 followers on Twitter (https://twitter.com/falcorjs) so in my eyes, this is quite popular library in comparison to other existing one.

My summary shows that this article shall be recovered and saved on the Wiki.

The story, short: 1) my mistake was that I did copyrights mistake which was edited in 30 minutes from releasing initial writing 2) Before I corrected the article, it has been nominated to speedy deletion and deleted by @JamesBWatson: 3) After a discussion on @JamesBWatson: discussion page, he reversed the deletion 4) We are on that topic now for "Articles deletion" because all articles recovered from deletion have to be discussed by wider community

In that deletion's discussion we have proved that: a) The article has the notability (check above) b) The article's topic is mature and NOT too soon (this library is almost 3 years old and also please check that above the Falcor's library is in "100 top most popular" on GitHub - please remember that there are over 100 000 javascript libraries and this Netflix Falcor library is in top one hundred !!!)

Hope it helps.

Since you pinged me in your post above, I have come back and read what you have written here since I last posted. You say "we have proved that ... The article has the notability", but I don't see where you have done that. I see only that you have made assertions such as that the subject is a "non-profit, open-source project", that it is"almost 3 years old", that it is "popular", that it has many "followers" on Twitter and so on, none of which has any bearing whatever on Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I still see no source that anyone has provided that indicates notability in the terms of Wikipedia's guidelines.
You seem to have misunderstood the essay "Wikipedia:Too soon". The essential point of that essay is that a subject is not notable because it may at some time in the future come to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines if it hasn't done so yet, not that an article becomes notable if it has been around for some time. There are sometimes subjects which only came into existence yesterday, but which have already received enough coverage to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and others which came into existence many years ago, but which have not. "It's been around for nearly three years" is not evidence of notability, nor would "it's been around for twenty years" be.

Classic example of why films that have not yet begun production should NOT have their own article. Evidently, the primary actor has walked out, at least temporarily, on compensation issues and production is on an indefinite hiatus. Too early for this article and fails WP:NFILMS. Perhaps if/when production resumes and principle photography is completed, then may be the time to consider starting an article. Clearly now is NOT the time.

  • Comment I would just note that for films, coverage is not the complete prequisite for inclusion. Per WP:NFF:
  • Quote Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production. Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available. Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun.
  • Continue comment While I would not object to a redirect being left, ideally, this should never have existed at all. We should be discouraging people from racing to Wikipedia to create an article the instant a new film is announced, not encouraging them to do so. Safiel (talk) 23:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for that, but I would be loathe to tell all new and inexperienced editors that they simply cannot contribute articles. I'd point them at applicable guidelines sure, and discuss their contributions if needed, fine. But the way to build is to build. A redirect would have been suitable and we'd have only needed this discussion if it the redirect were then debated. Schmidt, Michael Q. 05:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either move to draft or delete. Too soon for a Wikipedia page now however we can use the information later on if the film releases. Mr RD 08:49, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't appear to meet WP:ENT. Looked for more substantial sources and found nothing. Roles in major films are very minor: "President of the Phoenix Fraternity" and "Nervous Intern". He was only a stand-in for 27 Dresses.

Theatrical roles are for local/touring productions of older works with no indication of length or significance supported by sources.

There is an unrelated reporter/photographer named Brett Leigh Dicks, which may be a stumbling block when searching for sources. Grayfell (talk) 07:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as there are no signs of independent notability for a better article. SwisterTwister talk 21:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In 2011, Leigh starred and directed independent film "Festival." He appeared in an episode of "The Young and the Restless" in 2013 as "Handsy." In 2014, Leigh played "Abraham Lincoln" in an episode of Nickelodeon's iCarly. He played a major role as the antagonist in the Lifetime movie "The Spirit of Christmas" in 2015. He plays "Jack Lemmon" in the film "Near Myth: The Oskar Knight Story," which has been completed and is set for theatrical release in 2016. Reference: NY Times and Rotten Tomatoes.

I wouldn't classify his role in the "Social Network" as "very minor." He carries most of the lines for several minutes during the scene with Andrew Garfield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colson7012 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:ENT. Exactly how minor his role in the Social Network was is debatable, but an unnamed role with several minutes of dialog is general not considered significant without substantial sources saying otherwise. The NYT and Rotten Tomatoes sources are databases of performers which don't evaluate the significance of roles. The Spirit of Christmas TV movie isn't clearly notable, and his role's importance would need to be explained by a reliable source. He's credited pretty far from the top, which suggests that it's not all that significant. The Near Myth movie hasn't come out yet, and is not so obviously noteworthy that it bypasses WP:CRYSTAL. There is nothing preventing this article from being recreated in the future if it's deleted and better sources come along, but for now I still believe it's WP:TOOSOON.

Liberal socialism makes no intellectual sense, at all. It's complete bullshit. Anyone with half a brain and a drive to study socialist literature understands this: that socialism is incompatible with liberalism. This article shouldn't exist, it's ridiculous. I propose that this article is to be deleted after we combine useful content with the welfare capitalism and social democracy articles. The liberal socialism article is in direction contradiction to the socialism, capitalism, mixed economy, social democracy, welfare capitalism, and democratic socialism articles. None of these articles support the idea of socialism being compatible with liberalism, or the idea of mixing socialism and capitalism. All of these articles at the moment do accept that socialism can arise from capitalism either through revolution or through gradual change. None of these articles claim that you can have both at the same time. The social democracy and welfare capitalism articles literally describe everything that is in this article, yet this article stands in contradiction. Unless everything else is wrong, it makes no sense to maintain this article. Thank you. SpaceMilk (talk) 01:01, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - This article was nominated with no mention or citation of any Wikipedia deletion or inclusion policies. Clearly a notable and highly referenced article subject that has significant cultural, historical, political, societal, and economical impact. Passes WP:GNG by a mile. This seems like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is not a reason to list an article for AfD. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as above, seems an issue of WP:IDONTLIKEIT on behalf on an individual editor. The article is relatively well-referenced, and explains the ideology in relation to similar ideas (social democracy, social liberalism, etc) so has genuine merit.--Autospark (talk) 13:30, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Needs more serious analysis of issues the nom obviously has no idea about our deletion guidelines. The artilce clearly has multiple serious sources. And the term has lots of google hits.

Keep. In reply to @Altenmann: I've read through the article and checked some of the citations and there doesn't appear to be any obvious WP:SYNTH going on; the article seems to me a relatively straightforward statement of historical facts. I'm mildly concerned that the article is presenting several discrete historical movements with the same name as one thing, but that's something that can be hashed out by editors of the article, not a matter for AfD. Otherwise I don't see any radical problems with the article, and the nom certainly doesn't give any good reason to delete it. —Nizolan (talk) 00:27, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
