It is not really a disambig page. Delete it and move Afrophobia (phobia) into it place without redirect, because of misnomer: not really a medical condition. - üser:Altenmann >t 22:52, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Like the nomination says, it's not a valid disambiguation page. It looks like Afrophobia was previously deleted at AfD, and I don't quite understand how we ended up with Afrophobia and Afrophobia (phobia). I haven't looked closely at the latter page to ascertain its notability, but it seems uncontroversial to simply move it here. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Clarityfiend. The question here is, per WP:DAB, "are there multiple articles to which the search term "Afrophobia" might be expected to lead?" It seems implausible that people would search for "afrophobia" if they were really looking for negrophobia. /wiae /tlk 01:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article is about a regional league which does not seem to meet WP:ORG, specifically depth of sources. The only sources offered are associated with the league or are very basic press releases. I had PRODded the page but the creator removed it with the edit summary "Removed deletion template because it is unreasonable to expect detailed independent press coverage of a league which has just restarted and is currently in the off-season"; which may indicate it is too soon for an article on this regional league. There must be independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • It can be BLP:PRODED for that reason since it needs to both pass notability (I agree with Xxanthippe that it does) and have citations. So Keep here, and then BLP-Delete if it doesn't get a citation before the AfD is done. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:12, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment So far people have suggested it is notable, but no one has verified this with sources. Without that, it doesn't meet guidelines. It's not eligible for a blp prod as it was created before 2010. Boleyn (talk)
Did the nominator consider the well-over 1000 citations on GS and the 378 on GB? Xxanthippe (talk) 21:33, 24 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Xxanthippe, if you want to ask me a question, it'd be best to ping me, as I follow a lot of AfDs, and as you didn't mention the username of the person you were addressing, I missed these. Yes, I was aware he had many citations. Do you have sources you can add that verify notability or were you unable to find any? Boleyn (talk) 07:34, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There are over 1378 sources that you can find by clicking the consolidating links considerately given above. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:39, 29 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]
I certzinly can't find 1378 sources confirming his notability, if you can, great. Can you name any? Do you have even one as evidence, Xxanthippe? Boleyn (talk) 09:03, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Have you tried clicking on the links on this page above that are provided for the convenience of you and other editors? If you have not then do so. If you have, then tell us what you find. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Xxanthippe, of course I have. I'm not trying to be difficult - and I'm happy to change my vote if evidence is put forward - but so far you've spent a lot of time on here saying he's notable, but that means nothing without verification. What reliable sources do you think establish this, so we can add them to the article and prove notability? This has been tagged for notability for six years, it would be wonderful to get it fully resolved, one way or the other. Boleyn (talk) 12:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't see how this person meets WP:PROF. Gbawden (talk) 06:30, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Sufficient highly cited work to show him an expert in his field, which is the basic WP:PROF criterion, and is normally shown, in the case of scientists, by citations: The counts of the highest papers (from Google Scholar) are 180, 165, 147.71, 54, 61 -- all in the most important journals of the field, 29 papers with 29 or more citations, but it';'s the most highly cited ones that count. (there is no fixed value of the h index--it is different in different fields--astronomy and related sciences have a much lower citation density than the biomedical sciences, but 3 papers with over 100 citations each would be enough in any field at all.) There is no need for sources other than the citations to pass WP:PROF. DGG ( talk ) 00:22, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this seems convincing for a notable article. SwisterTwister talk 02:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable blogger who according to the article goes by the names Karan Doe and Karan Goyal, and according to the site he runs is actually called Karandeep Kumar. I can find no evidence of notability under any of these names. None of the provided refs is independent - most are to his own site Pollywood Reporter, the one other is to ArtistMag, which is also run by the subject. None of these sites appears to be notable either. The article was likely written by the subject himself - see the discussion on my talk page here. Fails WP:N and WP:V.

  • Delete This is obviously a stub placeholder and would be deleted anyway for lack of citation but doing a quick Google search shows most hits for "United Church of Christ Cemetary Holgate, Ohio" just leads to wikipedia mirror sites and the occassional mention in individuals' obituaries.

      • Sorry, I intended that the link being red was part of my !vote.  Also, I'm not volunteering to create the article.  We need some essay somewhere that talks about the maintainability of the encyclopedia.  Another point is that Google lists the cemetery as "St. Pauls...", so I'm not sure at this point that we can reliably identify the name from a primary source.  This page by itself would in this future world need to be a DAB, as there are many "United Church of Christ Cemetery"s.  Unscintillating (talk) 21:23, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to find information online. Most articles mention him quickly but I didn't find anything that went truly in-depth. Seems to me that it fails WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 04:47, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The picture of Barbosa I used was uploaded to Wikipedia in 2010 by User:Thachan.makan: I wonder if they'd like to offer an opinion? I made the page because I was tidying up a long list of authors at Goan literature, and making new entries for many of them. The relevant guidelines would be those for creative professionals. I'll add some more material to the entry and hopefully people will agree that this is evidence for 4 (c): 'The person's work (or works) ... has won significant critical attention'. I'd also note that it's harder for a lot of non-Western authors to get the kind of internet profile that Western authors might take for granted, and that Wikipedia should be sensitive to this.

        • Is this basically a WP:TNT argument? Because there are over a 100 viable entries for this list, as seen at Category:Filipino beauty pageant winners. The image gallery also consists entirely of people with articles, and so is arguably more useful than the table at present, and it would be easy to convert that into a table after deleting the remainder...if that's what editors want to do, a discussion about content that should be had on the talk page. And images certainly serve a valuable function in list articles, as in List of Presidents of the United States. postdlf (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Only 8 out of 54 of the A names have there own article. Most of the pageants listed don't have an article either. Although the title of the article says the names are winners, that does not seem to be the case as many are listed as semi-finalists etc. If restricted to only names or events with an article, 75%+ of this needs to be trimmed. As it sits it is unreferenced WP:NAMECHECKING Existing categories should cover the topic. Legacypac (talk) 20:47, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've already commented on your content issues above; please also see WP:NOTCLEANUP and policy at WP:ATD. Not to mention WP:NOTDUP... And your approval of categories in this context also underlines that it's not the concept of the list you have a problem with, but rather its current state and execution.

At some point, the % of the content that needs to be removed meets WP:TNT. You may disagree I suppose. Legacypac (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Trimming it down to this took just a couple minutes, obviously something that can be expanded from the category and the table refined from the quick version I threw up. And it's also quite possible that editors may support keeping the table that I removed, after discussion, and with the page not being deleted it remains in the history to be restored, or just to be mined for notable entries or other information. postdlf (talk) 22:09, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - If More Citations Added I have no concerns about notability of this list, given the prominance of beauty pageantry and the evidence that several of the members of this list have passed GNG on their own, but any list like this needs in-line citations for EVERY ENTRY to demonstrate their appropriate membership of the list itself (e.g. this random list. The primary issue with this list, that absolutely needs to be addressed, is Verifiability. If this isn't done and this comes back to AfD, I know I'd lean strongly toward deletion.
  • Keep and rename but trim down the list. Remove those who solely won on pageants that doesn't have an article such as Miss Chinatown Manila. "Placement" is also ambiguous but a closer analysis points that these are the international editions of the local pageants listed on the left. Also I proposed changing the title to "List of Filipino winners at international beauty pageants" because technically most contestants of international beauty pageants are winners of the competition's national counterpart.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Settling on inclusion criteria is an activity for talk page discussion. I will note though that such a list is basically an occupation by nationality classification, and so [nationality] [occupation/achievement] is the standard form. The corresponding category is also titled Category:Filipino beauty pageant winners. At a minimum, anyone who is 1) notable, 2) Filipino, and 3) won a beauty pageant should be included on this list just as in the category. postdlf (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the title sits a 6 year old Filipino origin winning Little Miss Sunshine Springfield USA qualifies for this never ending list. If someone wants to build an article with a more restrictive title go ahead, but this ain't it. Legacypac (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep This isn't Unix, it's an aspect of shell scripting. There is about a 40 year history of this feature and it marks a shift from command lines as a simple command despatcher to being a scripting environment supporting conditional branching, one of the most fundamental aspects of programming.
"test", as a simple bit of bash syntax, is uninteresting and fails HOWTO. "Test", as the innovation of shells as becoming controllable, intelligent environments, is significant and notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:47, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Significant coverage in reliable sources would better demonstrate notability than an assertion that it's important. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • How about it being part of the IEEE POSIX standard 1003.1 [1] - this is already in the article. Viam Ferream (talk) 14:52, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • So add some (there is vast coverage of any aspect of Unix shell - there is no claim whatsoever that this topic fails on account of a lack of sourcing). The point is that the topic here is of more interest and importance than might be thought from a simple "it's just a manual entry listing some computer command".Andy Dingley (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A simple how-to guide on a trivial command line utility. Assertions to the contrary seem to boil down to an "it's notable" argument without any evidence. My own searches do not show significant coverage in reliable sources, though it's difficult to find a search string that will remove the false positives, such as "test your UNIX script" or "a classroom test about this UNIX script". I'm open to changing my vote if someone can provide reliable sources rather than simple assertions of notability. Transwiki is also another quite valid result, especially if we did the same to the other trivial UNIX commands. We could have a pretty nice UNIX how-to manual, which is likely within the scope of some Wikibook or something. If someone wants to start a sourced "history" section in shell script, they could do that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:29, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"My own searches do not show significant coverage in reliable sources," Your inability to search effectively bears no relation to something's objective notability.
Are you really claiming that there is any aspect of Unix, let alone something so obvious, that isn't covered by a myriad of substantial sources? This is hardly an obscure topic. There perhaps is a case to be made that test is only a "user manual" topic, and so not "encyclopedic", but it's hardly credible that aspects of Unix are sitting around undescribed. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:00, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a standard and important POSIX utility that exists since at least 40 years. No expert would ever even consider to discuss whether to delete an article about such a fundamental UNIX utility. The article needs improvement but this will not be achieved by deleting it. Schily (talk) 16:56, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is obvious that the page is in need of improvement, but that is not something that will occur if it is deleted. It helps to have a comprehensive description of command line utilities, as well as some of their history. Perhaps the article could be edited in order to better fit within Wikipedia's style guidelines. The argument that it "Wikipedia is not a manual" is pedantic — simply because this article is improperly written now does not mean that it will always be improperly written. --104.129.196.60 (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There still aren't any provided sources to demonstrate notability. Saying that there "must be sources" and inherited notability through UNIX don't really count. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:20, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If "there are aren't any reliable sources", then maybe that's because someone repeatedly keeps removing them [2] [3] It is ridiculous to remove a source from Gnu as "advertizing". Viam Ferream (talk) 11:17, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion not relevant to the deletion discussion
The GNU Project are famous for two things: GNU (a Unix [sic]) and GPL (a software licence). I added GNU as a source for Unix shell-related stuff, as I consider them authoritative and pretty neutral overall. Schily has removed it (and an IBM source, and a simple wikilink too) because he has a 10 year old beef about how "The GPL is all wrong". That is not "advertizing", that is not good editing behaviour in an article that is at AfD on account of lacking sources. Viam Ferream (talk) 14:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop your personal attacks based on false claims about me. Note that your comments are unrelated to the this discussion. Schily (talk) 14:17, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jörg Schilling (2nd nomination). You claim to be a Notable subject on the basis of work on two pieces of software. Yet all the visible sourcing for this comes down to, for both of them, "the project forked and Schilling left because of a dispute with Gnu". Today you're stripping good refs from this article, that is agreed to need more, because either "Gnu are advertizing" (a pretty farcical claim to make about Gnu) or else you're still harping on about a 10 year old beef with Gnu.
Policy states that AfD articles shouldnt be blanked. Editors are welcome to expand or improve them. I see stripping refs for personal reasons as much too close to the blanking than the improvement. Viam Ferream (talk) 14:34, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You continue with personal attacks, the phrase "the project forked and Schilling left because of a dispute with Gnu" leads to exactly 0 hits on Google. In other words: "Schilling left" is purely fictional by you. Schily (talk) 15:42, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The lead section is encyclopedic, and the description can be improved.

Ekkt0r (talk) 11:51, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I added an O'Reilly reference to Further reading. There is enough material there and in other books to write a more complete article, leaving the man page information to External links. The command varies among the various Unix shells, and there is an extended test command available in two of the shells.

    • These are manuals that tell you how to use the command. How does that help to alleviate the concerns that this article is a howto? If we use them as sources, the article will remain a howto guide. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      @NinjaRobotPirate: As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't need to grow beyond a stub.

  • Declaring oneself a candidate for President of the United States does not constitute a notability freebie under WP:NPOL — and in reality, he isn't even verifiably that yet, but has merely been a non-winning candidate in the primary contests for two minor political parties' presidential nominations, which counts for even less. Even the Democratic or Republican candidates in a presidential election aren't really getting Wikipedia articles because candidate — they're getting Wikipedia articles because they've already previously held another office (state governor, senator, etc.) that gets them over WP:NPOL regardless of the presidential candidacy. If the reliable source coverage of Manley were to nationalize, then WP:GNG would come into play — but if you have to base the article entirely on primary sources and local media coverage in and around his own hometown, then merely being a candidate in a primary race does not get him over the bar.

          • It looks like you have no idea what is this about. I am talking about books by James Paul Wesley published by a vanity publisher rather than by an established publisher. Vanity publishing is a one huge red flag when establishing notability. If you find these books published by an academic publisher then we can start talking academic rigour. Staszek Lem (talk) 05:12, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • That was my point but it's hardly my fault you lack the basic mental acumen to be able to comprehend it. Claudebone (talk) 05:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm going to tentatively say (and respectfully advise the original author) wrong venue. Note the respectful advice - I respectfully suggest tat some people are not being particularly respectful. I actually think the author here has sufficient material to submit something worthwhile to a peer-reviewed history of science journal (although it's a bit late for an obituary). They've done a pretty thorough job, with good quality sources. A lot of time has gone into this research and it would be a shame to destroy it. Note that I would accept the existence of a Wikipedia article if a scholarly article had been published, though the content in Wikipedia would have to be fairly basic. My suggestion is therefore for the author to find the right venue. For example here - note that most editors should help you even if they reject the paper (make clear to them that you are an inexperienced with academic publishing if you are inexperienced). Perhaps additionally publish (maybe self-publish) a short e-book to compliment the paper, and include a few family memories and photos to personalise it. Interview his colleagues to see what they thought of him. Print some copies and donate them to his university's library so his legacy is established, and to his friends and colleagues. That sounds great - it sounds better than Wikipedia. Claudebone (talk) 15:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • self-published e-books and a memoir from relatives will not make it notable for wikipedia purposes. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:13, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, that depends on how widely it has been published, and in particular whether (or not) a reputable publisher has printed the book with a decent print run so that it becomes a reasonably widely available. Claudebone (talk) 05:35, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • No it is not. Please learn how wikipedia works. Start with WP:RS and WP:GNG, paying attention to the words "independent of the subject". Staszek Lem (talk) 05:19, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes it is. You should firstly learn to be polite and secondly you should learn how the historical method works and in particular note how there's not a dichotomy between "reliable sources" and "unreliable sources", and "independent" and "non-independent" sources. All sources have varying degrees of reliability (noting ins perfect). Though I assume that fact is lost on many of the morons who edit Wikipedia and start pointing to the poorly written guidelines whenever this uncomfortable fact is brought up. Claudebone (talk) 05:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • If you don't like rules written by us morons, you would probably want to join the high-brow Citizendium project. Staszek Lem (talk) 06:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The article presents no evidence of influential publications or other accomplishments or honors that would take him above the level of the average professor, and is not sourced by in-depth reliably-published and independent publications about the subject. Additionally, searching Google scholar for publications by the subject did not find publications with notably high citation counts. As such, he does not appear to pass our guidelines for notability of academics, nor our general notability guideline. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:31, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete. I respectfully disagree, i think there might be a mistake when interpreting notability and believing it is equal to popularity; notability refers to notable (in other words "usable" and "useful") and i think is work appears to be just that, original, novel and maybe an outlier of the mainstream or established physics high community but certainly not an average professor; in the wiki policy it states that professor and academics usually qualify as notable! so please read the wiki policy CaptainTCook (talk) 04:04, 17 January 2016 (UTC) CaptainTCook[reply]
@CaptainTCook: On Wikipedia, "notable" has a specific technical meaning that is different from useful and is closer to famous: to be notable, one must have been noted, by multiple independent reliable sources (another techical term but basically means published under some amount of editorial oversight). —David Eppstein (talk) 05:08, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep as WP:NACADEMIC. I found only one third-party reference, and it is in the Natural Philosopher's database which is a personal project of two people. However, I did find about ten of his articles cited in G-Scholar with cites ranging from about 35-75. That's not huge, but given the time frame I find it mildly acceptable. However, this article needs to be greatly reduced. All of his writings need to be removed from the references and instead treated as a bibliography. The article should not include a full bibliography of his works but only selected works (which can be chosen from those most cited). The long quotes from the self-published works also need to go. And the whole family history part has to go since that's not what makes him notable. This was clearly the project of a relative or family member and is more like a memorial than a WP article. My gut feeling is that he was a bit of a crank, but that doens't keep him out of WP as long as he meets other criteria. LaMona (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I did the unthinkable and reduced the publications to a few key ones, took out the long quotes, removed his own publications from the reference list. This is just the beginning, but it makes the article much more in line with WP style and policies. Oh, I also removed the references to his father's books, since those aren't relevant on this page. There's still the whole family history that should be cut, but I'm a fanatic for bibliographical details so that's where I concentrated. LaMona (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep' with thanks to User:LaMona. Wesley's alleged intellectual range is so diffuse, that the notability claim looked improbable to me: 4 wives, couldn't hold a job, too many fields of expertise, he sounds eerily John Forbes Nash, Jr.-like. One absurd sentence that caught my eye was the claim that this theoretical physicist had a fellowship at the Center Advanced Study Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Anyone who can claim that is notable, but you have to be a social scientist, not a physicist. I figured this would prove that somebody was making stuff up, or that he was actually at the Institute for Advanced Study, but sloppiness on that level would call the whole article into doubt. So I poked around, and to my amazement, in 1962, he published: Wesley, James Paul. 1962. “Frequency of Wars and Geographical Opportunity”. The Journal of Conflict Resolution 6 (4). Sage Publications, Inc.: 387–89. http://www.jstor.org/stable/172617. written at: Center Advanced Study Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University. Moreover, as J.P. Wesley, his papers are cited. It suffices.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. That interpretation is very far from the plain meaning of WP:PROF#C5 which specifically asks for a posting to a position at a step higher than full professor (i.e. a named chair, distinguished professor title, etc). There is no evidence that the subject ever held such a title. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:00, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • My apologies for the oversight and thank you for the clarification. I have struck my !vote. Yash! 07:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The work as a theoretical physicist is fringe, with a few papers in a speculative journal, a number of self-published books (published by an apparent member of the family, which amounts to the same thing; the comment above ,"someone other than the author" misses the point entirely); There are a few orthodox papers in geophysics, for which Google Scholar shows citations of 79, 32, 29, not enough for notability in this field. There is a elementary book, Ecophysics; the application of physics to ecology from a decent technical publisher for which Worldcat shows 297 holdings, but that alone wouldn't be enough for notability as WP:PROF or WP:Author. There is one social science paper: Wesley, James Paul. 1962. “Frequency of Wars and Geographical Opportunity”. The Journal of Conflict Resolution 6 (4). Sage Publications, Inc.: 387–89. http://www.jstor.org/stable/172617 which ha been cited 62 times. (From reading the citations, it seems he took an unsual position here also) nFellow not notable by itself: it's a postdoc, not a permanent appointment . I cannot verify that the position at Missouri was a full professorship; the term is sometimes used more loosely, and I have learned to be skeptical when it is used in association with fringe figures unless a formal position is explicitly stated and verified in a third party source. . If it was, while essentially all full professorship at major research universities have been found notable here, this would be one of the exceptions.
The article further shows signs of promotionalism. An apology for his political view preventing his continued employment , excessive space on family and personal life. If accepted it's going to need some trimming, an indication of the nature of the publisher, and verification of every position. DGG ( talk ) 01:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note User:DGG. I just want to point out that although fellowships at Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, are post-doctoral, they are offered to senior academics, people who are tenured at major universities and, the offers are a big deal, and you only get offered one if you are already at the level of eminence in your field that you could have a page here. It's like Institute for Advanced Study, except for social sciences and the weather is better.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:DGG, I was unable to turn up any info on the publisher with the same last name. It was nom who suggested it was a relative. Do you have a reason to believe the two are related? There are other oddities, such as that the books are published in Germany, which makes little sense if the author was aiming at a US market. But I can't verify the relationship between the author and the publisher, so I'm just thinking of that as "very small and probably not important publishing house." Note that the article was much more promotional before I took an ax-sized swing at it. It is definitely promotional - but that can be fixed with some more editing.

"I cannot find any publisher by that name either, except for books by James PaulWesley; the address give in google Books for them is Weiherdammstrasse 24, 7712 Blumberg, West Germany, Blumberg and therefore conclude it must be a relative or pseudonym or otherwise related. Since continental Europe has maintained until very recently the tradition that doctoral dissertation must be actually printed, there are a number of small printers there capable of dealing with technical manuscripts; this is not the case in the US, where in the days that physical typesetting was needed, only a very few of the largest firms could deal with mathematical texts. The only logical conclusion is that they are privately printed for the author. They certainly are not published by any well-known publisher, and that will have to be inducated in the article if it is kept. Probably the best phrase to avoid OR will be "a publisher who has printed nothing except these books byJP Wesley". DGG ( talk ) 19:04, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, he's 12 years old so WP:BLP especially applies.

Secondly, he's a nobody who's had his article written by WP:SPA, in entirely un-WP:NPOV hagiographic terms, and I suspect WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY by user:888AlexanderAranda888. The article has been WP:REFBOMBED with irrelevant nonsense, and fantastic and somewhat improbable claimed achievements.

While Master Cable might be an honourable schoolboy, he's still a schoolboy who needs protection from WP:BLP, and he's still a schoolboy that nobody cares about.

  • Keep Could do with refinement, though user:Claudebone has clearly not followed the links and evidence, all of which are totally credible, to support the facts that have been written about Ayrton Cable. Yes he did present a film to members of the British Parliament aged 9[11], yes he did receive a notable awards such as the WAF AWARD [12] and yes there are new things he has done which have not yet been listed on the page such as being the "face and voice of new vitabiotics wellkid campaign to inspire social action in young people"[13]. He is now 13, has not stopped campaigning and shows no sign of stopping. Given his age and achivements I felt the need to include as many references as possible and certainly did not intend to WP:REFBOMB the article.

  • Comment I can't be neutral on this one so I will not !vote, but the article has a veneer of mis-direction that I am not comfortable with. The kid did NOT make a film -- an NGO had the film made with him as narrator. (And he's not a very good one, but that's my POV.) He didn't "launch" a bill even though that's the wording in the article -- the bill was written and introduced by a group of NGO's and he was there, with the movie, to basically do a show when it was introduced. I checked references and some do not mention him, others are just mentions. The article is a serious example of WP:UNDUE and needs to be reduced to a couple of paragraphs. In any case, we may want to keep the article because I'm sure that we'll be reporting on his spiral into drugs and risky behavior by age 18 and early demise, just like so many child stars (which is what he is).

  • keep Even a cursory search of Ayrton's name on google reveals thousands of results. More concretely, in accordance with the Wikipedia regulations on notability, 'If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.' WP:GNG The Huffington Post [1], The charity TearFund [2] and TEDYouth [3] constitute relevant sources in this regard. Further, Ayrton has appeared in the media increasingly since the age of 9 and continues to do so [4]. As per the above comment, Ayrton has been involved in recent events which have not yet made it onto the Wikipedia entry, indeed showing that his social activism is an ongoing commitment. It would surely be more pertinent to address constructive remarks for the improvement of the page (which is itself a new entry and open to refinement). In addition, in line with WP:BIO guidelines on people entries on Wikipedia, Ayrton is notable for not just one but various events and activities, awards and nominations and has certainly met a satisfactory level of notability for Wikipedia standards, his Food Labelling films now having 150,000 views on Youtube [5]. I suggest the page be kept and the necessary refinements made in order for Ayrton's ongoing activities to be documented in the clearest way possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smphillips912 (talkcontribs) 16:07, 24 January 2016‎</ qspan> Smphillips912 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Weak Keep: Strictly speaking with what's available it should probably be Merged and Redirected to St. Xavier's School, Jaipur, with the expectation that it would be split out in a few years when weight of sources are available. It doesn't currently meet WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG on the sources presented.

As much as I hope to play Caiaphas from Jesus Christ Superstar in the future (I do have a damn good bass voice), it's a shame that the guy who played this character in the film version, Bob Bingham, is only known for Jesus Christ Superstar.

  • For anyone who is making or wanting to make a Keep argument, please read WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:GOOGLESEARCH and WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. Arguments that the actor is notable "because of the continuing international success of the film" and that "A search of Google News turns up a nice amount of coverage of Mr. Bingham during the past year talking about the famous movie" will not work here.

NACTOR isn't applicable here—it's a straw man, as is NOTINHERITED, given Bingham's other roles. – SchroCat (talk) 21:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Bingham played an important role, Caiaphas, in the original national tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, in the long-running Broadway production of that show, and in the enduring film version. He has thousands of Google hits, even though he retired before the internet was created. Obviously notable. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- This, I would think, is the kind of article we would want on Wikipedia. JCS is an important show and Broadway is one of the most famous theatrical areas in the world. As per SchroCat, Google throws up thousands of hits for Bingham so why would we not want people to visit this site for ready information on this actor whose entry appears in the first few results? CassiantoTalk 23:43, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to an admin before closing this nomination. While whoever's trying to expand this article has added a couple of reliable sources that briefly discuss him, he's added a ton of unreliable ones with it (The Internet Broadway Database is about as reliable as The Internet Movie Database and that cast looks like it's from what might or might not a fan site). Again, the sources are in relation to his appearance in Jesus Chris Superstar, and minor performances in a couple of other shows will not change the subject's notability much enough. The information about where Bingham is now is uncited, and all the users in this debate keep making useless WP:INHERITED, WP:SOURCESEARCH and WP:GOOGLESEARCH arguments ("He has thousands of Google hits, even though he retired before the internet was created. Obviously notable.", "JCS is an important show and Broadway is one of the most famous theatrical areas in the world.
