  • Delete - per nom. Pointless article, not encyclopedic, and it's pretty much unsalvageable. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:01, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. This content could be of use on 4x4. The test this article's author is writing about was rather illuminating in highlighting some of the flaws in different drive mechanisms. Lizzius (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There are only five sentences here and a totally incomprehensible table. I find it hard to see anything here that could be described as "illuminating". Andy Dingley (talk) 09:43, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This article cannot be merged with 4x4 because it applies to e.g. 2x4 (Volvo V50) and 6x6 as well. Could be merged with differential. More green fields and less red fields means better car from the point of this test. That's quite comprehensible. Yes/No can be changed to Pass/Fail. Espr14 (talk) 18:30, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MelanieN (talk) 23:37, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The subject is related to deferentials as mentioned above. I see no point this article nor the table. MB (talk) 20:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to "Cars tested on rollers" or similar. (it can not be a list with the table, can it?) I don't understand how editors do not comprehend the table and the meaning of the article, which is quite clear in my opinion. DeVerm (talk) 00:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In my professional engineering career, I have designed and built the control systems for rolling road dynos, including multi-axle systems. I cannot make sense of this article. If you can understand and explain it, perhaps you can help us out? Andy Dingley (talk) 09:30, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am just an Electronics engineer and feel mechanics a weak point for me but like I said the article is clear enough to understand it when reading it closely enough. Put a car with one or more wheels on rollers then try to drive: will the car move or just have it's wheels spin on the rollers? Repeat this for different numbers of wheels and you get a very good impression of the car's off-road capabilities. The article is clear and concise. DeVerm (talk) 13:29, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But what is the encyclopedic value of such an article? Is the table nearly complete? Of course not. Most entries do not contain a model year. There must be several hundred vehicles offered for sale every year. I can' t imagine it would ever be in good shape from the perspective of accuracy or completeness. I agree this is pointless. Should we also have an article listing all cars and the number of airbags the have, or any other feature/attribute/characteristic? I reiterate my Delete. MB (talk) 14:40, 19 June 2016 (UTC) .[reply]
MB, I was not trying to make you change your vote; I just voted myself and you are commenting on my vote. On your comment about completeness: an incomplete table does not mean that the article must be deleted: it means editors must try to add more items to get closer to complete. There is WP:NORUSH. DeVerm (talk) 23:17, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article gives a simplistic yes/no answer for whether a car can be roller tested on its "side wheels" or not. This is meaningless, for two reasons. Firstly it is an unrealistic situation to test. When are a car's "side wheels" rotated in isolation? More importantly, the key to this article would seem to be something based on the using of non-locking 'free' differentials or controlled / locking / limited differentials. Yet this is just reduced to a simple yes/no for wheel combinations. This makes no sense whatsoever. For any testing of modern traction control systems or differentials it's essential to recognise that they're controlled and have a variable action, not just that they're either totally free or totally solid as this describes.
This article makes no sense and conveys no useful information. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:41, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Andy it is probably from an editor who does not have English as first language. English is my 2nd language and this may be why I read it different than you? I say that because you say the article does not make sense (to you) while it does to me and others... or at least those who created and edited the article. If you ever come in a situation with a car in snow, ice, mud or other slippery surface and you can't move forward , you may appreciate the value of these tests. Because it is about the situation where some cars just spin one or more wheels around while other wheels are stationary and the car doesn't move. Some cars are stuck like that while others don't. The rollers under the wheels simulate the wheel(s) that do not have traction so they can spin without moving the car, which is then left to the other wheels. I hope this makes sense to you because I am at the limit of my explanation capabilities :) DeVerm (talk) 23:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge. I'm not sure what would be a good merge target. Something like car suspension systems or automobile dynamics or something like that, but I haven't found it yet. If no good merge target can be located, then delete. If somebody stepped up and said they wanted to work on this, and had a reasonable plan for how they would turn this into something useful, then moving it to draft would be acceptable. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:56, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is sourced to whatever some random auto club decides they're going to do on YouTube with whatever car they can get their hands on at the time. WP:CRUFT for sure. This isn't based on reliable sources; it needs manufacturer's data, not some random silliness in a parking lot. MSJapan (talk) 01:24, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the article may have some information and sources but nothing actually suggesting this is any co text for Wikipedia notability. SwisterTwister talk 02:19, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I do not see the purpose of this article on Wikipedia. It is not notable as there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. It seems more like a tech manual that one would receive with their car (maybe), except for the humorous videos in parking lots and garages. Linking to YouTube videos as references that show cars on turning their wheels on rollers makes no sense for an encyclopedia - and these are not reliable sources. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Subject isn't notable. The few citations given are mostly to a single source and they support the "notable" family members, not the family itself. The paragraphs about the family have no citations and I can't find any with a cursory search. This might not be a hoax but it very much borders unverifiable.

Thomas Verenna[edit]

This article should be deleted immediately for the following reasons (with reference to the List of policies to cite in deletion debates):

(1) The entire page contains the problems in question; the page cannot be "spruced up" by quick edits or fixed with further information, since there is nothing that can warrant the inclusion of this article. (2) There are no arguments for notability here; the biographical stump on this page refers to a blogger and non-notable author. (3) The anti-advertising or anti-promotion clause is relevant here, since pages like this are overwhelming created by the individuals themselves to boost notability through inclusion in the Wikipedia format. (4) There are no relevant citations here that prove notability or significance. (5) The individual in question has no scholarly status (despite co-editing one scholarly book), no affiliation with a university, and no doctoral degree. (6) As an "author" or "creative professional," the individual is not regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; the individual is not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; the individual is has not created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, nor have any of the individual's works have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; and the individual's work has not garnered significant monument, has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, has not won significant critical attention, and is not represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

-cleavercor Verenna is notable in Bible studies academia. 96.29.176.92 (talk) 00:12, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (for now). To date, nothing has been presented to support his notability. From the information in the article, he seems to be interested in Bible studies but there's nothing to suggest he has any formal education in the field or occupy any important academic position. He has edited a book, but so have loads of other people so if the only claim to fame is having edited a book, then I'd say delete. Jeppiz (talk) 14:25, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Google Scholar shows that he is notable within academia. His article is a stub, however that does not imply notability. 96.29.176.92 (talk) 19:20, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe Google Scholar to show him to be notable within academia, please provide a link. And please note that being searchable on Google Scholar applies to anyone who has written even a paper for minor conference and says nothing about notability. Once a person on Google Scholar is cited at least 10.000 times and has an h-index above 30-40, the person is most likely notable as an academic. There's nothing to suggest Verenna is even close to that. Existing and being notable are very different things. A search on Google Scholar makes it clear Verenna exists, but also that he is entirely non-notable. Jeppiz (talk) 23:27, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Commment Using Google Scholar that way ignores the nature of academiccitations. The measure only has validity in comparing individuals in thesame academic field who do the same sort of work. Bible studies has an infinitesimally lower citation rate than biology--and in fact, SCI as the first academic citation index was originally deigned specifically for molecular biology. GSW covers a far wider range of sources, but studies in this field have relatively few sources to cite, and do it only slectively, so the measure is particularly worthless.

  • Delete Simply not very convincing for notability, and few sources can be found. Omni Flames (talk) 04:02, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's fairly difficult for scholars to establish notability, especially Biblical scholars since there are far fewer places that discuss and reprint the work that would be considered RS on Wikipedia. From what I can see, there's not that much mention of the guy. This is likely because as of 2012, Verenna was an undergraduate. Now an undergraduate can still put out work and gain notability via one of the guidelines, but it is far, far less likely that they'd gain attention over someone who has been in the field longer and is seen as more of an authority. If he keeps getting mentioned here and there then it's likely that he could pass in the future because hey, getting named dropped in an ABC-CLIO book is no small feat (it's enough to where he could maybe be considered a RS), but right now it just seems like it's too soon for him to have an entry.

  • Keep the German encyclopedia has a sourced article. The wolf is notable, as is the event of a man-eating wolf in 17th century Principality of Ansbach. Moreover, as article states, this wolf has also accumulated notability vial retellings. I'm going here on the German sourcing, not the source that Nom found in English version. 17th century history in an important city like Ansbach is solid and well-documented.

promotional and with very little notability. Most of the third party references refer merely to funding. The awards are relatively trivial--top 100 of anything is not notability, nor is a second place prize. The rest of the article describes the merits of the products in terms that belong in an advertisement not a encyclopedia article.

Delete. The above is from the new user WP:SPA article creator. Found only this barely reliable source discussing the band; all other search results return what appear to be self-published sources or mere mentions confirming the band's existence only. The four "references" in the article are those types of links and cannot be used. No newspaper critical review of the band to indicate notability. —Prhartcom♥ 12:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Christian communism[edit]

This appears to me to be blatant WP:SYN. The few sources do not establish the content of the article, most of which reads as a personal essay with a very pronounced agenda. I don't think this is fixable either - communism is not a theistic philosophy. Guy (Help!) 18:46, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The IF for Science & Society is 0.667 (2014 Journal Citation Reports® (Thomson Reuters, 2015) which fails the criteria as a RS for such a topic. The HighBeam search brought equally unacceptable results with passing mention (insignificant) of the "term". Atsme📞📧 21:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the heart of the prose is noncompliant with WP:NOR, WP:SOAPBOX, WP:ADVOCACY and WP:SYNC. It appears to be more of an opinion piece than an article worthy of inclusion based on WP:RS and WP:GNG. The only RS that have been cited actually point to known topics such as Marxism, Christianity, etc. not to any justification for this article's notability or inclusion. Atsme📞📧 21:35, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Add - there is already a section on this topic in the article Communism which is actually where, if anywhere, this belongs considering the lack of any real substance about the topic (created by SYNTH) in the few sources that are available. Atsme📞📧 05:21, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps if deleted, a redirect would be in order, that avoids a redlnk, which is usually an invitation to create the article over again. Montanabw(talk) 02:12, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Makes sense to me. Then if an enterprising editor wants to invest in a RS article without SYNTH in the future, they can build from there. Atsme📞📧 03:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I find much of the article to be acceptable, including most of the lead and the first several sections. While there may be some - perhaps significant - NPOV issues, these should be fixed by editing, not outright deletion of the page. The opinion of the editor of whether or not Communism can be theistic should be irrelevant - an abundance of sources indicate that people have believed that Christianity and communism can go together. It seems clear to me that the subject is notable, and most of the sources seem quite acceptable to me as well. Why would they not meet the requirements of WP:RS? I'll just comment too that the article is included in many of the non-English Wikipedia versions, which would suggest that notability is not contested.EAR47 (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The major problem is that it's a novel synthesis from often unreliable sources. The idea that the subject is notable is rather contradicted by the absence of scholarly sources - Google turns up a number of blogs and apologetics sites, but nothing usable as a source to replace the invalid sourcing currently in the article. Guy (Help!) 07:05, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SYN simply states that you shouldn't use sources to derive novel conclusions. Likewise you shouldn't use a self-published or fringe-view source, in general. However in this case I think many of the existing sources can be used; while several of them do propound Christian communist views, that is a perfectly acceptable source given that we are reporting on what those views are. If we avoid drawing any new conclusions, but simply report the beliefs held by these Christian Communists, WP:SYN is not violated, and the sources can be considered reliable for the purpose to which we are using them. As for the sources themselves: Chilton and Cort both appear to be books published by a third party and valid references for the ideas of Christian communism and some history. Brown looks to be a neutral, scholarly paper. Gernhard maybe we should get rid of, due to it being a blog post. Finally, a quick Google Scholar search was quite fruitful; here are just a few sources I found: [6][7], and Denys Turner Marxism and Christianity ISBN 0389203513. Given the number of books and papers published by and about these people I'd be shocked if you still debated notability. Again I'm not claiming that the article doesn't need work but deletion seems drastic and unwarranted. EAR47 (talk) 19:10, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: I agree wholeheartedly that the article is loaded with WP:SYNTH and a lot of unsourced statements, plus way too much POV-pushing. I'd say keep, but do some major pruning of all the cruft. In fact, I'll take a whack at it and see if what's left is worth keeping. There is adequate indicia of notability. Also, per a search like this, there is some support for the concept, as seen in the Anabaptist Hutterite colonies in my state, which while not Marxist/Leninist in structure (they are, collectively, quite fine with capitalism to bring in income to their community as a whole) have been described as "a communist success story". Montanabw(talk) 18:08, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Think that while the article isn't in great shape, the concept meets notability. White Arabian Filly Neigh 21:24, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the topic is covered in a variety of encyclopedias including The Encyclopedia Americana; Encyclopedia of Modern Christian Politics; Encyclopedia of Protestantism and The Encyclopedia of Social Reform.

Notability not established, PROMO and NTEMP, maybe some COATRACK and RECENTISM. WP:PROMO: the whole effort was spearheaded by a creative agency (Oniracom), who also released the albums on their own label (founded by one of the agency partners, who also produced the albums). Despite the background, it does not appear that the agency was founded solely for the purpose of this festival, as they are definitely still around and doing business. I'd also note that this article was written by a paid editor, and despite the claim that it was not paid work, the agency was certainly the client - it wasn't the festival, and it wasn't Jack Johnson who requested the article, and it's honestly below the threshold for something one would just find seven years later. There's also WP:NTEMP issues ("coverage only in one context over for one event"), because this was only a one-time event, and the albums seem like a separate item entirely. WP:COATRACK, because even though I cleaned it up, the article still sounds like it's advertising the company instead of dealing with the event, largely because the nature of the activity makes the company inseparable from the event. I also think that because this was an event in 2007, there were a lot of people writing about it online even though it was a local event. The article on Jack Johnson doesn't even mention his participation in this, so a lot of it feels "tacked-on" here. MSJapan (talk) 17:20, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — This is a tricky one. The sole reference says that he formerly played for "Metro Stars", but doesn't say which one, and so far I've found three teams by that name in Ghana, in Kumasi, Tuba and Abura Dunkwa. The Abura Dunkwa Metro Stars are in the Ghanaian Division Two, which is a fully professional league. So in short, more references are needed to determine whether he's played professionally yet. Complicating this further, there's another, unrelated professional Ghanaian player named Eric Adu Poku. So if you're Googling for refs, be sure to include "-Poku" as a search term. I've come up empty-handed, but smarter people than me might do better. I can find no trace online of clubs called "Istanbul FC", or a "Dinh Doung". vi:Dinh dưỡng is Vietnamese for "nutrition".

  • Keep. A rolling stock carbuilder is going to be notable, but finding English-language sources is always going to be a challenge. The name of the article is problematic. Up until a few days ago it was at Kriukiv Railway Car Building Works; that or KVSZ or Krukovka Carriages seem like better names. I'm not sure why Endrū Hejs (talk · contribs) moved the article. KVBZ appears to maybe be the company's stock symbol, but I wouldn't expect a reliable source to use that. See for example this article in the International Railway Journal: Ukrainian prototype DMU enters service. I believe that's the same company, but the relevant nouns at KVSZ, Kryukov Wagon Plant, and Kremenchug. Mackensen (talk) 11:12, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw my nomination Hello @Mackensen: Thank you for your contribution. You are right. According to WP:ORGSIG a company is not inherently notable for being a stock carbuilder. I could not find sources under the original name and the one you cited does not contribute to establish notability as, in my opinion, falls under trivial coverage as per WP:CORPDEPTH. But by doing a search on the new name I could see that the company is listed at an index of the Ukranian stock exchange and I could find this valid source: Company Overview of Krukivsky Carriage Works I could not find anything usable from Google, but I noticed that it was recently linked to the Russian project where I saw there are indeed plenty of references (in Russian)see here. I have not analyzed them in depth, It would be very helpful if Russian or Ukrainian speaking editors could contribute to improve the article, but I am convinced that notability is met.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:04, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

promotional and non notable.The refs are essentially mere notices of funding.

DGG ( talk ) 08:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC) DGG ( talk ) 08:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG this is only one of several as you can see here I am not sure exactly how you define what should and should'nt be on wikipedia but it really does seem to be based on peoples interpretations rather than factual definitions by which pages are being moderated. I believe other opinions are necessary on this matter as these pages serve purpose with factual information difficult to find across the internet.

If seems illogical removing factual information that is hard to find elsewhere... (Marcusw572 (talk) 09:26, 13 June 2016 (UTC))[reply]
  • Strong keep, the company easily meets WP:COMPANY, as apparently received significant, non routine coverage in all the most important Italian news sources. There are currently about 10,600 news articles in Google News, [14], plus hundreds more in the archives [15]. I just made a very quick search, and I found examples of coverage which include multiple articles in the main Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera [16] eg. [17], multiple articles in the main Italian business publication Il Sole 24 Ore, see here, eg. [18] and [19], multiple articles in La Repubblica [20] eg. [21] and [22], multiple articles in MF Milano Finanza, another authoritative businness publication [23] and so on. I can dig indepht and provide additional examples, but apparently this is not even a close call. Article needs some cleanup, but notability is obvious. Cavarrone 11:00, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As Cavarrone says, this company appears all the time in the Italian press, and quite a bit in English news sources (eg: FT Adviser, Business insider). Some are promotional, but not all are, and I think the potential to make a suitable article out of those sources is there. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Passes WP:CORPDEPTH per a review of available sources, such as those posted by Cavarrone and Ritchie333 atop. I have copy edited the article to address the very minor promotional tone that was previously there. The article presently has a neutral tone that simply provides an overview of the company.

Heavily padded sources which are either unreliable or press releases. I won't even bother with a rename. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 22:46, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm not sure, but this company may be notable. There are a number of mentions in books and news media, and articles such as this Billboard article suggest that other sources may be available to meet WP:ORG.- MrX 23:43, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I looked and found lots of mentions, but no significant coverage. Lots of music studios are like that, they get mentioned but no real coverage. In this case, it is a marketing firm, which rarely gets coverage enough to pass WP:CORP because no one dedicates articles to them because they aren't very interesting. Necessary, but not interesting enough in most circumstances. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:50, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • And to be clear, I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I've seen a good many of these types of articles and very rarely do they pass the bar. They of course want to have to their own article. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:04, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - There are quite a few short, but not trivial mentions of this company, spanning a period of around 30 years. This contributes to notability per WP:SUSTAINED and WP:ORGDEPTH. I also found these in-depth articles which discuss the company [24] [25].- MrX 22:36, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • ORGDEPTH specifically mention that WP:SIGCOV must be satisfied, and is just a subsection of WP:CORP. SUSTAINED really isn't even at issue here.

Thanks for the ping. As for those authors:
In short, those secondary sources are not RS. Nevertheless, Scherzer and Fellgeibel establish that Senghas received the Knight's Cross - great. The question is, does he have substantial coverage besides this? SOLDIER says that "individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify" if they have received the highest valour award. My opinion is that there is not sufficient coverage, regardless of the reference for the Knight's Cross, to meet GNG standards. After all, SOLDIER is an essay, while GNG is a policy.

  • Nom's comment: Here's the article as of Dec 2015, after it's been tagged with "Unreliable Sources" tag. I believe that 6 months is a sufficient time to improve an article. The material in the article was cited to:
Roy appears in a few books, but with very short mentions, such as here: The Ardennes, 1944-1945, by Christer Bergstromsom and Waffen-SS Armour in Normandy: The Combat History of SS Panzer Regiment 12 by Norbert Számvéber. (Same books as mentioned by GeneralizationsAreBad)
WP:Soldier states that:

"In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. In particular, individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they: Were awarded their nation's highest award for valour." The footnote states: "Some awards are/were bestowed in different grades. For the purpose of this notability guide only the highest military grade of such awards qualifies. See: Discussion regarding awards with multiple grades."

The GNG still needs to be met, through multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:55, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Add: As was suggested on my Talk page, I checked for the name in the Neue Deutsche Biographie. There is no entry for the subject there. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can see, the mentions in the two linked books, plus the Knight's Cross sources are sufficient to meet the GNG test, which is not a bright line. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:18, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The mention in Walther-Peer Fellgiebel's source is one line; pls see sample. Fellgiebel's work is a directory; this is not "significant coverage" and thus "does not constitutes evidence of notability".The other two books are brief mentions—this does not amount to "significant coverage" as I see it.

  • Keep this is a classic example of an editor deleting large amounts of text and sources then nominating it for deletion. There were several sources on this article prior to their deletion by the nominator. Please check the article history for such behaviour when supporting a deletion nomination. A check of "what links here" would show that his award is fully cited on the list at List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ka–Km) to Scherzer and Fellgiebel, including his rank at the time, the date of award and his position at the time of award. It is not that hard to make such checks before nominating for deletion or supporting deletion. All of this information should have been available to editors considering deletion, yet it was not, due to the deletion of significant parts of the article prior to its nomination.

  • Nom's Comment: Here's the article as of February, 2016, with the Refimprove tag. I believe four months is a sufficient time to improve an article. In any case, GNG still needs to be met. WP:Soldier states that:

"In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. In particular, individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they: Were awarded their nation's highest award for valour." The footnote states: "Some awards are/were bestowed in different grades. For the purpose of this notability guide only the highest military grade of such awards qualifies. See: Discussion regarding awards with multiple grades."

While the Knight's Cross was a prestigious award, it was not the highest grade (there ware Oak Leaves, Swords, Diamonds, etc). Moreover, the GNG still needs to be met, through multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources, which appear to be lacking in this case. There's a one-line mention in Willi Fey: link, plus Google book search results bring up works by Otto Carius and Franz Kurowski, but I cannot locate the subject's name inside. In any case, these could not be considered "independent, reliable sources". K.e.coffman (talk) 06:25, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even if your views on the reliability of Kurowski were accepted by the community, how is Carius not independent of Kalss? Was he Kalss' brother-in-law? And because the preview function does not show you what the book says about Kalss does not mean there isn't relevant information within the book. I have used many Serbo-Croat sources where the Google Books result comes up with one or two instances not available in preview but the source itself has reams of information on the subject. I am sure the same applies to Germans. Have you at least checked the German Encyclopedia of Biography, given it is free and searchable online? Given the language differential, that would be a basic check you should have conducted and reported as part of the nomination. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:48, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your suggestion; I checked for the name in the Neue Deutsche Biographie. There is no entry for the subject there. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:26, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This reminds me a bit of moegirl [30]. Same kind of things, but no secondary sources to establish notability. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:14, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The internet is full of resources for obtaining grey area or downright blatantly pirated media and manga is no exception. Only a few trackers and other "download databases" become their own media story and generate press, and Napster and TPB to use the above examples are notorious for their own reasons (usually because of well publicised attempts to take them down). Internet forums and perhaps blogs will be full of mentions of Baka Tsuki, but they aren't reliable sources and age doesn't prove notability. The big anime and manga sites would never dare discuss them unless there was a pretty big reason so unless I've missed a big news story I don't think there are likely to be many, if any reliable sources. SephyTheThird (talk) 23:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While fan translations play a vital role in the Western popularity of anime and manga and the phenomenon itself is notable, individual sites like this lack coverage.

  • Delete Without third party feedback we cant consider this website notable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This site is popular and I even have their app on my phone, however BT has always flown pretty solidly under the radar, partially because they operate in that grey area of legality but also because light novel translations have never really ever gained the attention that manga scanlations have. I adore the site, but the site just doesn't pass notability guidelines per NWEB. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:04, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very weak keep or perhapas a merge to scanlation#history would be better. I managed to scrape together some coverage: Kotaku has an article dedicated to Baka-Tsuki, and how "the light novel translating community" is centered around it 1. Game Industry News mentions Baka-Tsuki as "the biggest Light Novel Translation hub in the world" 2. Also name-dropped by The Daily Star and Cartoon Cultures: The Globalization of Japanese Popular Media. 3 4 Pinging @Opencooper, Knowledgekid87, SephyTheThird, and Tokyogirl79: on whether they're open to a merge since their !votes are based on Baka-Tsuki having no coverage whatsoever. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 14:24, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good finds. Based on that I would support a merge, though maybe Light novel would be a better target since this is mainly translation while scanlation refers to a process based around comics. Opencooper (talk) 14:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll give you Kotaku. I don't know about GIN as a source as this is the first time I've come across it but saying he has an admin position at the site isn't exactly neutral and it is a passing mention. The latter two don't give any significance to the site, daily star just mentions it as being the place to go to download a particular work. And the book mention is just an interview with someone bragging about his torrenting resources. I don't think they would pass as sources in general, never mind notability. More like Kotaku and I would be more receptive, but as it stands I don't think my opinion has changed.SephyTheThird (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Failing WP:NHOCKEY by itself is not a valid reason to delete, since there are other ways a subject can attain notability, such as WP:GNG. And there is at least one substantial source in the article. Rlendog (talk) 13:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.. two time winner of the QMJHL scholastic player of the year..kinda a notable award Triggerbit (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That isn't a notable award. Joeykai (talk) 23:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not by itself. But it generated at least one instance of significant coverage for the subject that is already included in the article. And there may be more, which is why it is particularly important to address GNG here. Rlendog (talk) 17:16, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you've found others, would you mind sharing them? Beyond that, I disagree with Triggerbit: this isn't a QMJHL award, and wouldn't be considered notable if it was. Ravenswing 13:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I have not found other instances of significant coverage, and apparently no one else has. The Guy Lafleur award itself does not meet NHOCKEY, and one article about winning the award is not enough to satisfy GNG. Rlendog (talk) 20:44, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete That award definitely is not a major award. And I can't find any significant coverage on the player. Fails to meet GNG or NHOCKEY. Nothing has changed significantly since the last nomination. Should have been a speedy. -DJSasso (talk) 12:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I agree that the subject fails to meet NHOCKEY and shows no evidence of meeting the GNG. The only cite from a reliable media source doesn't clear WP:ROUTINE. Ravenswing 13:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Has twice won a notable award (Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence) and has been the subject of in-depth coverage in several sources: [31] [32] [33] [34]. The subject has also been mentioned in numerous additional sources. Passes WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO.- MrX 23:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Quite aside from that the notability of this award is suspect enough that I'm about to prod it -- only a handful of reliable sources even mention it, and not a single one gives the award "significant coverage" (as opposed to "Soandso is the 2014 winner etc") -- what notability criterion gives a presumptive pass for winning it? Moving on to your links, in order to meet the GNG, a subject must (a) receive "significant coverage" in (b) multiple (c) reliable sources which (d) do not constitute routine sports coverage of the sort explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE. Three of your four links are blog posts; all involve routine sports coverage. Mere mention in other sources, no matter how numerous, do not satisfy the GNG. Ravenswing 04:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • If policy is supposed to describe how content is treated in practice, then widespread practice would show that many thousands of articles are based on sports news. Just the number of football player articles alone strongly supports that we would retain an article where the subject was noted for standing out from his peers.- MrX 11:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're missing a crucial distinction: that the bar for sources supporting facts listed in an article is far lower than for those certifying the notability of the subject. A match report could verify that a player had reached a milestone in a particular game; a biographical webpage on the website of a subject's employer could verify a birthdate or spouse's name. We'd accept both for those purposes. We'd accept neither as evidence of the subject's notability.

    Beyond that, it can't be news to you that notability criteria establish thresholds. A singer who won a local 'battle of the bands' competition certainly would have been "noted for standing out from her peers," but WP:MUSICBIO plainly sets forth that what consensus holds to be a significant award for notability purposes is a Grammy nomination or thereabouts. By contrast, "standing out from one's peers" (which is entirely subjective) forms no part of any NSPORTS criteria. Competing at the top levels of performance does. Gregoire didn't win a major NHL trophy; he won, frankly, a minor award for academic achievement, unsanctioned by any league, and did so as a teenage amateur.

    Ultimately, though, this is looking like a smokescreen. If Gregoire was truly notable, there'd be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources saying so. If you're convinced of his notability, you should be able to produce such qualifying sources, and I'll be pleased to change my vote if you do. Ravenswing 12:26, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep he appears to me to meet the WP:GNG, with solid sourcing. This isn't a one reference, one paragraph biographical stub that we typically bring to AFD. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I'm not impressed with the sourcing and Richard Arthur Norton would do well to read them. The Alcalde mention is in a deceased alumni section and Goode doesn't get an actual obit, just a mention. It's a fine citation to source his education but GNG requires that there is sufficient coverage to confer notability. The other sources are also problematic. The U-T link talks about an archive of pictures from San Antonio Express-News where Goode is pictured. That Goode had his picture in the paper isn't notable nor is the fact the University has said pictures. It's fine to use the website as a source but again, people are trying to hang general notability on this stuff. There's an old issue of The Historian listing my name as a member of Phi Alpha Theta and that's fine to source my membership but you can't call me generally notable if you pile up a half-dozen such mentions. In all, I think Goode ought to be the subject of some good secondary-source academic writing in the future and that would suffice for notability. Right now, I'm guessing Goode fails our notability criteria although I'm not going to vote for deletion because I'm not a deletionist and I think there will be enough coverage for us to presume notability. Let's also remember Goode also fails WP:MILPEOPLE. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:05, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails the notability guidelines for politicians since he lost, any mention of his role in the race can be included in the article on the winner. The obituary is not enough to establish notability. We need a good secondary source article, which may well be justified, but it does not exist, so we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:54, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This was a major congressional race between a Mexican-American Democrat and a white Republican at a time, 1961, when neither group had that much clout in Texas politics. Later Mexican-American Democrats and Republicans would dominate the state. The election was important enough to bring in a former President, Dwight Eisenhower, to join the campaign. Hot Furnace (talk) 17:07, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @Hot Furnace: Could you make a policy-based argument? This argument is about a person, not a race, anyway. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:38, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In this case, the candidate was not elected but he was important in the historical sense. We shouldn't restrict politicians with articles to only those who won an office. Hot Furnace (talk) 23:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep based on national coverage of the election and Eisenhower campaigning. The article needs work as I would say at least the first 50% is background that doesn't address what makes him notable, and the election is insufficiently covered. I'll add to it if the result is keep, based on things such as [35] and [36]. This is not just the case of a run-of-the-mill congressional challenger that lost.

Why isn't the appropriate action here a rename of the article (and presumably also of the main article) rather than deletion? The article does need updating in any case, since we already know they're moving it to Mexico City next year and renaming it as the WGC-Mexico Championship.

These are all personal views, the page abides by Wikipedia guidelines and is exactly equivalent (and less bias) of MoneyFarm.

  • DGG im not sure what your goal is here but you appear to be unravelling wikipedia unnecessarily, I believe you are approaching the moderation of pieces with the wrong point of view, the Swanest page is a factual non promotional summary of information that is not easily obtainable on the internet, it serves purpose as a notable informative page. I believe you are waging a fruitless assult targetting all 'non suitable / junk pages' what is junk to one person is totally helpful and relevant to another... I believe this needs more input from other members on wikipedia. (Marcusw572 (talk) 09:52, 12 June 2016 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete @Marcusw572 there is a certain track record and degree of economic/social impact that a company needs to have had in order to merit an article in Wikipedia. Swanest may well be on its way to building such an impact, but from the provided references in the article, it does not seem to be there quite yet. I suggest trying to publish again once the company is more established and has made a stronger economic/social impact. Star Islington (talk) 12:28, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep @Star Islington please refer to the parallel conversation here as this view is not shared by all on wikipedia. Please also note the criteria from WP:COMPANY, this is a notable entity and has place on Wikipedia. I can understand where your coming from, but wikipedia serves purpose by containing useful information that is hard to find from other sparse locations. There are countless pages across wikipedia that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, at what point does an entity become 'established' or having a suitably 'strong economic/social impact' there is a huge amount of wikipedia that serves as informative references. Robo advisory is a very new area emerging, having any information on the subject and who is involved is very helpful start point as to expand from, i see the net result of removing this pages as negative overall. Having this page does not take away from wikipedia, if anything it is indirectly helping build a foundation for this new emerging area (by including those who are leading it!)

No actual notability . Being a newsreader on BBC is insufficient for an article. No independent sources DGG ( talk ) 00:48, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Well, there is a great deal more about her than you'd expect from this article which is highly recentist. However, I suspect for subjects who remain well known it is better to have no article at all than such a poor one. This will give someone the opportunity to create a balanced article without being burdened by what we have at present. Thincat (talk) 08:48, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep' The rationale given for the deletion ( Being a newsreader on BBC is insufficient for an article) smacks of elitism. Ottawahitech (talk) 19:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In what way:the meaning was being a newsreader even on BBC ... . Some jobs in any profession require more creativity than others, and the description here sounds like the bootom of the pyramid. And, more important as WP traditionally sees it, there's no evidence that the world thinks otherwise. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Re:Some jobs in any profession require more creativity than others: Does a News presenter require less creativity? Is this wp:verifiable? 14:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

The references don't refer directly to Sorcha Faal. If the website isn't notable enough for a wikipedia article, then a single contributor certainly isn't. Lrieber (talk) 00:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article isn't a biography, and it isn't about the website. The topic of the article is the reports that appear on the website. Those reports do have significant coverage in reliable sources, and therefore the topic merits an article. ~Amatulić (talk) 04:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • None of the RSes are significant coverage, all appear to be treating the reports as novelty objects of fun, generally in passing mentions - David Gerard (talk) 09:37, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems like the news articles are referring to the website rather than "Sorcha Faal". Maybe redirect to a new article on whatdoesitmean.com? Would still need cleanup though. Lrieber (talk) 15:40, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • As I note, the references don't even say anything about the actual website either. You can see much discussion on the name for the article on the talk page - David Gerard (talk) 12:40, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Inclined to delete - it was killed at AFD once already (as Sorcha Faal), it was resurrected as a completely credulous bio, then when the puffery and source abuse was removed it was pivoted sideways to focus on the reports. The reports are barely notable or spoken of in the press except as objects of fun - all the reporting is "look at the silly thing!" and none of the citations in the article is actually about the site. There is no actual information available on the source of the reports; the article contains no actual information about the reports except that they exist and some press makes fun of them in passing mentions. There is nothing about the person or organisation writing them. There isn't enough notability nor verifiable reliably-sourced information here for an article - David Gerard (talk) 09:33, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I do not see enough, or really any, coverage in RS about the subject to pass GNG or NORG. At best the analogy here would be using a reporter's bylines as sources for their personal notability which we do not do. JbhTalk 13:13, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not notable. I'm not seeing significant coverage in reliable sources of these reports as a group to pass WP:GNG. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:19, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
