  • Delete as unfortunately could only find a library blog as a source, doesn't pass WP:GNG unless someone finds some RS. Atlantic306 (talk) 00:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I can't really find anything to suggest that this book is notable. It's possible that sourcing might exist in other languages, but I found very little to suggest that this is the case. I wish the author well and it's impressive that he wrote this at such a young age since that requires a lot of dedication, but the book just doesn't pass NBOOK at this point in time.

  • Keep some of these characters have received extensive coverage from secondary sources. It is better to have a list then multiple stand alone articles. This New York Times article gives coverage to multiple characters and then Sam Raimi's thought process in creating them, here is another source Hypable giving coverage to the characters. Some coverage here, Den of Geek and NJ.com.
  • Keep From the last discussion " Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. Does this article need clean up? Yes. But there are 17 books in the series and the television series lasted for 2 seasons (44 episodes). The books have sold over 25 million copies as of 2008 (since that was 7 years ago, much more have probably sold). The series is clearly notable. There are a lot of characters in the series. There needs to be a page to contain them. Like Flyer22 Reborn pointed out, there are many articles in very similar situations like List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters and List of Game of Thrones characters. If we delete this article simply because it is all plot, we will have to do the same to those articles and many others." Basically, my point is between all of the books and the TV show, these characters are notable, and while the page does need cleanup, so do so many character list articles. JDDJS (talk) 01:41, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Lists of not-individually-notable fictional elements that appear in multiple notable works is an ideal use of list of non-notable elements. BUT, per the above the article meets the GNG anyways. Jclemens (talk) 01:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CSC #2 ("Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles"). VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Like I stated in the previous AfD, the article can certainly be fixed up, especially with actor and/or creator commentary in relation to the television version of the characters. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on the assumption that cleanup is possible and will occur, if that turns out not to be the case we should reconsider. Artw (talk) 05:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per my previous nomination: Per WP:NOTPLOT, a policy, articles must not contain only plot summary. This cruft here is nothing but plot summary. In addition, it's unsourced (WP:V), and I would be very surprised if the topic of the characters in this novel series, as a group, had received the kind of coverage required per WP:GNG. (The sources mentioned above are not enough; they cover some characters in passing, but are about the show, which is notable, rather than about its characters, which are not.)

    This type of article often devolves into a dumping ground for fancruft better suited for fan wikis. That this has happened here is apparent from the fact that it is written in an in-universe style, portraying the fiction as real, contrary to our manual of style (Wikipedia:Real world). It would need a complete rewrite to be anywhere near MOS-compliant, and is therefore a WP:TNT candidate even if one were to be of the view that a list of this sort has a place here, which I do not. In Wikipedia, significant characters are generally better treated as part of the (appropriately concise) plot summaries in the context of the articles about the respective works.  Sandstein  11:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per longstanding precedent that character lists for significant fiction series/franchises are acceptable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:11, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a porn director and performer in a very extreme section of the industry ( the article has been cleaned up to remove the details). Lack of coverage in reliable sources so WP:BASIC is failed. The awards are minor or group sex so don't count for Porn Bio.

  • Comment. The XRCO Unsung Swordsman wins meet the letter of WP:PORNBIO, but niche categories have been disputed many times. • Gene93k (talk) 09:29, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Passes WP:PORNBIO#1 with XRCO Unsung Swordsman wins, which are well-known/significant industry awards that aren't scene-related/ensemble categories. This specific award has also been described as prestigious by a mainstream media outlet. There's an AfD for a similar award resulting in keep too. Rebecca1990 (talk) 15:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Unsung Swordsman is a long-running body of work award, not a scene related one so it meets PORNBIO. Wikiuser20102011 (talk) 01:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that there's any point in expressing an "delete" opinion, because the WP:PORNBIO guideline is so absurdly inadequate as to be impossible to argue against. In other fields the secondary notability guidelines act as indicators that significant coverage probably exists in independent reliable sources even if it can't be found easily in the timeframe of a deletion discussion. There is no evidence that awards such as this "XRCO Unsung Swordsman" lead to any such coverage of the recipients. Indepenendent reliable sources are very rare in this field, so our articles in this field should also be very rare. Most of the silliness that prevailed in Wikipedia's early years has been eliminated by the more mature people who started editing later, but this field seems to be one of the last such vestiges remaining. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:29, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The rationale behind the "silliness" is that some porn stars may be of general interest even though the mainstream media tend to shun pornography. Recognition by peers and established critics in a particular field can indicate notability. • Gene93k (talk) 19:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The PORNBIO inclusion standards are still designed, at this late date, very similarly to the ANYBIO standard, and the idea that an awarding organization isn't a reliable source for who won its own awards is an argument that has been dismissed many times in many different forums at this late date. Guy1890 (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, and many others, the WP:PORNBIO guideline directly contradicts the WP:BLP policy. The latter should prevail. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

The title "Organic silica" refers to either a nonexistent or a poorly-defined chemical entity, and this article is being used as a coatrack to hold a topic fork of the subject that is currently covered at Silicon#Biological_role. The current content is of a very low quality, and hasn't reached a good level despite hanging around for two and a half years.

In summary: the title is almost meaningless; the content is hardly relevant to the title; and the content is not of a high enough quality to warrant salvaging it. Slashme (talk) 20:44, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete We already have Silicon dioxide#Biology and Organosilicon. The 2007 source refers to the latter. Other than that it seems like a WP:OR WP:ESSAY. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 21:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The content is so incoherent and badly ref'd as to be unusable. The first ref pointlessly cites a dictionary headword with no significance relevant to the text. The title is misleading and the article has no meaningful structure. I suppose one could write an article on a topic on these general lines if the material is not covered elsewhere, but the title should be changed, and since the content is not a helpful basis to start from either, that doesn't leave much to salvage.JonRichfield (talk) 05:02, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I believe we have a content fork and this is currently better described in other, existing articles listed above. DeVerm (talk) 18:29, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Silicon dioxide per WP:CHEAP, since "organic silica" is a legitimate search term (though it is mostly a marketing term for cosmetic products). Trash the content, but the title can redirect. TigraanClick here to contact me 10:51, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable politician. As a city council member of a relatively small city, Werthmann is not inherently notable, and the coverage available for him is all the routine local coverage that any local politician might get -- nothing significant indicating that he meets the criteria for inclusion.

  • Delete. Nothing here constitutes an WP:NPOL pass, and the depth of coverage does not nationalize sufficiently to get him over WP:GNG as a substitute. If he were on the executive of the DNC, then that would be a credible claim of notability — but the DNC has over 200 state-level members, so if he hasn't already gotten over NPOL by virtue of an office that he's held, then being a state-level DNC delegate does not get him a special presumption of notability in the absence of much better sourcing than this.

    Sorry, forgot to sign above comment. APesica (talk) 23:55, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • @APesica: No, I'm not. Notability isn't about what's in the article; it's about the available coverage of the subject, whether cited in the article or not. (That's why the AfD has "find sources" links.) Before nominating an article for deletion, an editor is required to conduct the research described in BEFORE—which I did. During my BEFORE, I confirmed that the available sources—the references in the article and those shown with the "find sources" links above—either don't count (e.g., because they're press releases and thus not independent) or only mention Mr. Rust in passing, if it all. Does that answer your question? Rebbing 02:46, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability per WP:NACTOR as an actress: she's had a string of minor roles in film and TV. No indication of notability per singer per WP:MUSICBIO: she recorded a duet last year with her notable husband, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. I can find no significant coverage of her online from WP:RS, just passing mentions as Travis Clark's wife (or fiancée for the earlier ones).

Long list of fictional mechanical devices. Full of Original research and Plot summary with no discussion about their creation or development from a real world perspective. The reception section doesn't actually discuss the focus of the article but rather the series in general. Sources are largely spread between primary/secondary media and online stores. The ANN source doesn't discuss the devices at all. Even assuming reception information could be found, I don't see any reason this could not simply be noted on the parent article. While AFD is not cleanup, the chances of the work being done on the article body are extremely slim.

The article was kept at AFD in 2008, however much of that AFD does not read well (and if anything was balanced between votes) and the article has not been improved since then. The issues still remain and are less likely to be resolved now. SephyTheThird (talk) 17:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and Trim The website does treat these like characters [2] [3] with each having its own profile, however, the detail spent on each is excessive and unreferenced, even to the official anime websites. There is also not much to show these would be notable outside of the Code Geass world, like whether they show in crossover video games and such as with many of the Gundams.

  • Merge/Redirect. These mecha have not received significant independent coverage in reliable sources to write a verifiable article about them.

Apparently non-notable piano competition. Does not have independent multiple reliable sources. (If author or others can find independent reliable sources in seven days, then Keep.) Robert McClenon (talk) 11:49, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The competition is the largest Bach Piano Competition in the World according to the Alink/Argerich catalogue. This page is set up independently - without any COI. The statistics are provided by the Bach Competition and are all accountable. The Repertoire information, Honorary Comittee and Jury, as well as the prize-winners can be found on the homepage. Independent and reliable sources can be found on sites that are used by other major piano competitions (e.g. Tchaikovsky and Geza Anda): Alink/Argerich foundation

Statistics come from the Alink/Argerich brochure and the home page of the Bach Competition:

I know it'll be concerning for you that the article has been nominated, but it does you no credit to skip over the potential WP:COI. Are you not the winner of a diploma in 2010?[9] At the very least, this should be declared rather than glossed over. Likewise, your relationship to Walter Blankenheim, if there was one, should be declared.
The Bach Competition website is reliable for supplying details of the winners, but it's no good for establishing notability, so we can ignore it. The other sources that you provide are basically directories of music competitions. I'm sure that the better among them might be reliable (AAF certainly looks well constructed, not that that necessarily means it's the most reliable), but they're basically just list websites. The sorts of sources that you need to establish notability in this case are things like newspaper articles.
You might want to have a quick look at another competition page that someone tried to deploy, Draft:International_Arthur_Grumiaux_Competition, as the review decline templates have put in all the links to the relevant policies that you'll likely need to familiarise yourself with.

A question on citations: I have a number of sources in the form of newspaper articles from the first competitions (e.g. 1992, 1995, 2001, etc) but they are not digitised and there is no link to them. Can I still reference them? (the dates and page numbers are there, so they can be verified, and I am happy to send through a scan. Kirill Monorosi (talk) 00:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Offline sources are perfectly acceptable, Kirill Monorosi, so you can cite those newspaper articles, and you don't need to scan them (which might be a copyright violation). Cordless Larry (talk) 06:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know if the number of independent sources that are now cited sufficient. There are also numerous other newspaper articles that are not digitised that I can cite; however, at the moment I have only cited those that are digitized, as they are easier to verify. Thanks Kirill Monorosi (talk) 02:39, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as searches clearly found nothing noticeably better of coverage, overall article still questionable for the needed notability. SwisterTwister talk 23:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain what kind of coverage is needed? I am not sure I understand what notability is needed when even these competitions have a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregynog_Young_Musicians_Competition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciutat_de_Carlet_International_Piano_Competition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Piano_Competition_Svetislav_Stan%C4%8Di%C4%87 Kirill Monorosi (talk) 04:59, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd advise you to not worry about what other things have made it onto WP: I've seen blatantly promotional pages survive for years. If anyone can be bothered to, all 3 of those articles will be scrapped, as there's not a single source between them that establishes notability.
Newspaper articles are the thing. Or specialist magazines, perhaps, as long as they're not too specialised. So, if we were looking at a martial arts competition, mention of the (made up) Joe Bloggs Gojo-ryu Competition in the (made up) Okinawan Martial Monthly would not establish notability, but mention of the same in Black Belt Magazine (a major mag), Blitz Magazine (a minor mag) and a national newspaper would establish notability.

Have added citations from various sources as requested. Kirill Monorosi (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Articles from national newspapers such as Saarbruecker Zeitung and more importantly MAIN POST have been cited (these are digitised and can be verified). More citations can be added (there are about 4 articles for every of the 9 competitions from 1992, as well as articles from National Newspapers of the Prize-winner's countries). Again, according to the independent observer of International Competition Gustav Alink of the Alink-Argerich Foundation: this is the largest Bach Piano Competition in the world (he is writing an article about it at the moment for the AAF, where all statistics about number of contestants and countries, as well as the impact of the competition will be published). If it is not notable, then I don't know what is. It is of course a specialist undertaking without the massive public appeal of the Super Bowl. So is it just a numbers game? Again, much less notable competitions have wikipedia pages that are not marked for deletion. Kirill Monorosi (talk) 04:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced and semi-advertorial article about a band which doesn't even claim, let alone properly referencing, anything that would pass even one criterion in WP:NMUSIC for the notability of a band. Also conflict of interest, as the creator's username corresponds to the name of the band's guitarist. As always, a band is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because they exist -- reliable sourcing, properly verifying one or more specific and quantifiable accomplishments that would satisfy NMUSIC, is required for an article on here to be earned.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Jane023 with the following rationale "rv Prod, made new articles about the defunct company and the current company which prove the notability", which is akward since it is not an article about the company but about a painting, suggesting it was copypasted and in anyway is meaningless here. This series of postcards exists, and has an entry at Europeana, but that's about it - except few passing mentions I cannot find a single in-depth coverage of this topic. Not all artwork is notable, and I just don't see how this one can pass without as much as a single reference except a catalogue entry. PS. I thought about merge to the artist page (Franciszka Themerson), but I am not sure if it is good style to list artist works in separate sections... still, perhaps it can be somehow salvaged. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:52, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, I put my reasoning on the talk page, where I believe these notability discussions are supposed to take place first. Jane (talk) 06:40, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jane023: Seeing as such talk pages have very little visibility, in cases which I deem less controversial I prefer to discuss it here, so I suggest you copy your comment here. And I deem it not very controversial, as I still don't see - and you have not presented - any sources which show this series of postcards received any recognition beyond some catalogues entries. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:47, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus, I prefer to keep comments about notability on the talk page of the item, since whether or not the page is deleted, it is best to keep the rationale with the page itself. I and many others have trouble navigating the Articles for deletion archive. Unfortunately, my opinion about whether or not I disagree with your comments above is irrelevant, since I created the page. I am amazed that you dismiss the Polish ministry of Culture which selected this collection as 1 of 10 important works of Poland art in 2016. The whole list is here. Jane (talk) 08:11, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jane023: Since the talk page of the deleted article is deleted as well, it is better for the discussion to take place here; you are welcome and encouraged to link this discussion from the said talk page. And I am still waiting to see better sources. Your link to [10] is a link to an untitled search result page from Europeana and contains no mention of the Ministry. If you can provide a link to a webpage where the Polish Ministry of Culture discuses the significance of this work, please by all means do so. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That would be here: d:Wikidata:Europeana Art History Challenge. Jane (talk) 09:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jane023: It is a very nice initiative, and I do want to thank you for contributing many new entries to Wikipedia, Jane. However, Wikipedia is not a directory of all artwork, only of important ones, and what is important is covered by WP:N guideline. There's a difference between Mona Lisa and a painting that has only a catalogue entry; also note WP:NOTINHERITED - works of a notable artist are not notable by the virtue of being created by said artist. I see in your contributions several other articles that are of dubious notability. Please take time to improve their sources, keeping the above in mind. You are welcome to ask me for advice if the concept of notability is not clear. PS. The page you linked does not mention the Polish Ministry, just "Each country's ministry/department of culture then made their own process for deciding these works." Anyway, Wikidata is not a reliable source, because no wiki is a reliable source for Wikipedia. I'll however ping User:Wittylama who wrote that section there, maybe he can provide us with a better source. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:52, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus, are you actually questioning whether the works are considered of national importance? Because I really don't see your point of questioning the judgement of the Polish ministry of culture or the library, because I have always regarded National Libraries to be valid authorities on Wikipedia. Demanding that all artworks on Wikipedia have the same amount of notability as the Mona Lisa also seems silly here. I find it quite surprising to read that you feel I have written articles that are of dubious notability. Please enlighten me which those are! Jane (talk) 05:21, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jane023: Sigh. Let's keep this simple. Can you produce a single verifiable reference which satisfies WP:N for this work? In simple words, can you link to a non-user generated page where a reliable authority has made the claim that this work is important, or has reviewed it in depth? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:38, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well your request of "in depth" would be all the books written that mention this archive, though since it only moved in 2015 to the Library those sources written previously to 2015 will not mention the Library. As for a non-user page regarding the nature of the 280 cultural project, see here. Jane (talk) 06:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That article does not mention Gaberbocchus. I cannot explain our policies more clearly without quoting myself. Please read them again. You clearly do not understand the concept of Wikipedia:Notability and WP:NOTCATALOGUE. As well as WP:CITE, come to think of it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:38, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus, it seems we have come full circle now, as in response to your original "prod" I created the article on the Gaberbocchus Press which you called "meaningless". A Google search on "Gaberbocchus" shows it is undeniably linked with "Themerson archive". Jane (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Full circle of you not understanding Wikipedia policies. The sentence above has no bearing on this discussion. Per WP:AGF I am assuming that you are not purposely trying to lead this discussion of track, but for the n-th time I will ask you to familiarize yourself with policies such as WP:N and WP:CITE.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but it's hard for me to follow your track of thought. Mentioning Wikipedia's notability policy does not help to establish your case on the non-notability of an object declared by the Polish minitry of culture to be of national cultural importance. In case you were wondering, the English Wikipedia is not only interested in obects of national importance to the USA. You seem to want to doubt the judgement of the library, the Polish ministry, or Europeana, and I simply cannot imagine why. Jane (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide a link in which a reliable source (like Europeana or the Polish Ministry) discuss the Gaberbocchus some of the old favourites in depth or fat least several paragraphs? And let me preemptively say that a link to Europeana or another museum or such catalogue showing that "Gaberbocchus some of the old favourites" has been displayed or is owned by them is not sufficient. I am asking for an article about "Gaberbocchus some of the old favourites", or one that shows this collection/artpiece has received some attention beyond being mentioned in passing. The fact that some official from the Polish ministry presumably (I say presumably because I still have to see proof, i.e. document connecting "Gaberbocchus some of the old favourites" to the Polish ministry) decided that this would be an interesting topic for Europeana-Wikipedia collaboration, sadly, only means that that said official also is unaware of the WP:N requirement. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:33, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I can't read Polish. Piotr, it is not our job as Wikipedians to check the work of respected institutions, we can only reflect the public information they share. There is no question that the library recently digitized a collection and and reported it to their ministry as being of national importance that subsequently was reported to europeana as being one of 10 works of national importance. That the library gave the collection a name that you don't like does not detract from its notability. Jane (talk) 05:39, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Jane, it is our job as Wikipedians to follow the project policies, such as WP:V or WP:N. "There is no question that the library..." - but there is. "It was reported to europeana as being one of 10 works of national importance." - says who? Please cite a source that says so. If you cannot read Polish, with all due respect, I'd suggest focusing on topics for which you can find WP:RS. "That the library gave the collection a name that you don't like does not detract from its notability." Please don't use straw hat arguments. I never said I dislike the name of this article. Me or you liking or disliking the name does not detract from its notability - or its lack of notability, because you still haven't made a single argument for asserting it is notable except for your own personal view that WP:ITSIMPORTANT. And as an experienced Wikipedian, you should know better then to create articles without sources backed up only by your own subjective feel of their importance. Rather then arguing ad nauseum, please provide sources - or stop repeating claims about importance, based on nothing else but your own feelings about the topic. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus, I put the sources in the article and find them sufficient for the reasons I stated above. You have yet to convince me they are insufficient. I see no reason why we should doubt the name the library gave to Europeana. Jane (talk) 08:39, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Franciszka Themerson for lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) Expand within the context of the artist and split out summary style as the sources necessitate. czar 22:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Czar, I am confused - why do you feel there is a lack of multiple reliable sources for the collection? Europeana, the Gaberbocchus Press itself and the Polish ministry of culture as authorities are not in dispute here. Are you objecting to the lack of English language sources? Because that has never been a requirement for notability on Wikipedia. This news article clearly states why the library's collection is considered to be of national importance. Jane (talk) 05:21, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I cannot speak for User:Czar, but I'll note that the topic of the news article is Themerson Archive, while the topic of this deletion discussion is titled Gaberbocchus some of the old favourites. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Since there is no one Themerson Archive, it makes sense that each Themerson archive holder would call their collection by another name. Note that there are archives in at least 3 countries, which is not unusual for internationally respected artworks of international artists. Jane (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        There needs to be commentary about the actual subject of the article. WP:42 explains this concisely. Listings from websites doesn't give us anything about which to write an article. czar 13:45, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Sorry, Jane023, I normally love your work, but this one is a bad idea. At least this AfD has explained where these articles on non-notable artworks come from. Wikidata, which was at one time a good idea but has become an increasingly annoying "one site to rule them all". Articles like Bellringer of Caernarvon in costume of trade, Mourning portrait of K. Horvath-Stansith, View of Mt. Triglav from Bohinj, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Portrait of Goffredo Mameli (the first I encountered), Man Entering a Room (why not create an article on the artist first in this case?), ... Many of the articles are on undoubtedly notable artworks, but they seem to have been made indiscriminately, just because they are listed on wikidata. Fram (talk) 09:07, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An article about SEO software, created by a single-purpose account. Nothing in this article stands out to make this software notable. Srittau (talk) 15:34, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. There a bit of coverage listed in the article, but I'm not really seeing enough to make this obviously notable. Too many of the hits are press releases or look like glorified press releases. This article in Advertising Age is independent and in a mainstream trade magazine, but it's very short. This would probably be better covered briefly in the company's article. Toward that end, I guess I'd be alright with a merge, but I'm not sure why that's absolutely necessary.

  • Keep but move to Daily Times-Advocate and delete the resulting redirect Times-Advocate (see my comments below). I have expanded this article to include more of the history of this paper and re-referenced it, adding references from two books (Early Escondido: The Louis A. Havens Collection and Photographing Farmworkers in California), the Times of San Diego, New York Times, etc.. I'm sure there are many more given its long history This paper has been around since 1909 and was originally a daily. I'm going to repeat here what I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Valley Roadrunner: The COI of the creator is not a valid reason to delete an article if it can be fixed. Yet none of you !voting "delete" even tried to (a) find independent sources or (b) fix it. Given that many local newspapers are used in references and are often the only sources for local history, it is of considerable encyclopedic value both to readers and editors, to know the history and background of the source itself. Who created it is immaterial. AfD is not supposed to be used as a punishment. I have nominated and/or !voted "delete" in many, many COI/promo articles for non-notable subjects. I can't stand the stuff. However, I have also re-written, re-referenced, and rescued many others. In my view this is COI-phobia carried to an extreme, to the point where our readers are deprived of encyclopedic information.

  • comment explaining my refined !vote. The newspaper created in 2014 has nothing to do with the old institution other than the name. For the new paper to take over the old name was great marketing: "When we were searching for a name that residents of both the Escondido and Valley Center areas might find appealing, it struck us that the Times-Advocate strikes the perfect note of a local and trusted news source,” the story states. “Happily, the name had fallen into the public domain, so we were able to pick it up and register it for our own use." (ref) For the creator of this article to actually couple them was intellectually dishonest, and not what we do here with similarly named topics. This is understandable behavior for a self-promoting newbie editor. The subsequent edits and !votes here by experienced editors are less easy to understand. I just clarified and strengthened my !delete vote for this hot mess. The stuff about the older institution should be WP:CONSPLIT into its own article.

  • Comment re page move In light of Jytdog's comments and on a careful re-reading of the North Coast Current source, I have revised the current article so that it's now solely about the original paper and makes clear that it has no connection to the publication launched in 2014. It seems to me that the problem can now be solved by a simple page move followed by deletion of the resulting redirect page Times-Advocate. This would be a good idea anyway given that there are quite a lot of other papers in the US and Canada known as the Times-Advocate. Note that WP:CONSPLIT requires keeping the original page source to preserve the edit history and despite the skullduggery of the article's creator, some of the content in the current article which pertains to the "real" Times Advocate was added by him. Anyhow, I'll leave it to the closing administrator to decide. Voceditenore (talk) 19:17, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment - well this is a new one in my experience - the article has been completely rewritten and focused on the older institution, with the new one a passing mention, which... is appropriate. Interesting. The article that was nominated no longer exists and I have struck my vote as it was about something that doesn't exist anymore.

Directly created by employee of company (disclosed here) under a variation of the name Pluribus Networks - they couldn't directly create under that name as it was salted after 1) the article was deleted following an an AFD in Feb 2014 and 2) that article was re-posted by a SPA in June 2014 and was speedy deleted per WP:G4.

Is the company now Notable? I went and looked for sources and removed chaff and added what substance I could in these diffs. In my view it is borderline.

SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not really a newsworthy topic because no reliable sources cover this business entity. Hence, the exsitence of this article on Wikipedia serves as a platform for promotion only. The only independent reporting I have found are two articles in the web publication of "Business Insider" [14], [15]. It seems the first article is relying on a correlation between Jerry Yang and the company - and there really isn't one. Yang has invested in 50 startups [16] and this happens to be one of them; so there is no notability to be found in this correlation. The second article covers, in part, the new CEO of this company - and he is not a notable subject.

Exercising admirable unbiased objective restraint, GorgeCustersSabre and Kashmiri (who for reasons best known to themselves are extremely reluctant to reveal their true identities and use their own names) have deleted most of this Article in double quick time – but they have not gone nearly far enough, especially since Ahmad Thomson himself recognises that he is both lowly insignificant and not at all notable – and to quote Little Big Man (Thomas Berger, Vintage Classics, 1999), the Article's life "is not worth the reversal of a Custer decision". This Article was originally created in order to attack Ahmad Thomson (which is not included as a valid objective for contributing to Wikipedia) and, more than 10 years on, it is now high time that the historical grievance of Klonimus and Babajobu should be laid to rest and Ahmad Thomson's right to privacy and desire for anonymity be respected, so that all may be well and Wikilove flourish and prosper! – signed: Ahmad Thomson. Ahmad Thomson 07:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

On a second thought, I am leaning delete - the subject's shortlived fame was actually WP:ONEEVENT in 2005 and was a result of two newspaper articles, with little or no followup aterwards. Sure, Thomson has authored a few books, but I couldn't find any mainstream reviews (apart from those two newspaper articles picking up on one of them). Being on a few TV shows or making legal representations to the legislature does not satisfy WP:NBIO, as GorgeCustersSabre already wrote below. — kashmiri TALK 12:46, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I am very frustrated by Ahmad Thomson's interference in the editing of this page. He has made things worse even today, rather than letting editors just get on and solve the problem. Earlier today I wrote: "I would like to propose deleting the page, but would like the views of other editors before I go ahead and create the deletion nomination." What did he do? He rushed to nominate the deletion without waiting to see what others thought. Like kashmiri, I also feel put off by his bullish attitude and patronizing manner in dealing with editors. So why do I think the article should be deleted? Because Thomson simply isn't genuinely notable. He has authored books, but none has made an impact or been discussed much. He has appeared on a few tv programmes, but so have many others without Wikipedia pages. He was mentioned twice in mainstream, third-party newspapers in 2005 for having shared some views which were reportedly mistaken or disagreeable, but so what? That hardly establishes notability, and it fails to pass the WP:SINGLEEVENT test. He is not a public figure. I recommend deletion of the Ahmad Thomson page and its accompanying talk page.

  • Delete KEEP NEUTRAL (EDIT: re-read all material found on the guy this morning and honestly at this point am unsure whether his notability is clear.

However, not one rises beyond WP:ONEEVENT that Kashmiri mentions or trivial mentions as covered by WP:GNG. 12 refer to the one event (9 in September 2005, and 3 trivial mentions since then). The remaining are quotes attributed to him, but all are trivial mentions with no additional context about the person. I am not concerned with the motivation for the creation of the page, but would not consider the person notable at this point. The whole of coverage does not pass WP:NTEMPWP:ONEEVENT (EDIT, not NTEMP but single event should be the policy referred to here) or the non-trivial aspect of WP:GNG.

  • Keep Article is poorly sourced and has a self-promoting tone, including a great deal of citation of facts to Thomson himself. The claim to notability at first blush appears to be that he founded the Association of Muslim Lawyers, another self-sources, apparent self-promotion. However, as I continued reading, and, especially, when I read MezzoMezzo's comment that the Thomson has asked to have the article deleted I began to suspect subjects reasons for having the article deleted. A news search quickly turned up a 2015 article in the Wall Street Journal about Thomson's testimony in defense of Al-Qaeda operative Khalid al-Fawwaz, convicted after this article ran and now serving a life sentence. (Deliberations to Begin in Trial Over 1998 U.S. Embassy Bombings; Saudi man accused of playing key role in al Qaeda attack. Hong, Nicole. View Profile. Wall Street Journal (Online) [New York, N.Y] 19 Feb 2015 [17]) Here is the relevant passage: " Ahmad Thomson, a London-based lawyer who testified for the defense, said he helped draft a constitution for the Advice and Reform Committee, the group that Mr. al-Fawwaz led in London after moving there in 1994. Mr. Thomson testified that the group was trying to promote "peaceful and constructive reform" in Saudi Arabia. However, prosecutors say the organization was just a front for al Qaeda's activities." Moreover, this cannot be a ONEEVENT since Thomson has sought a role as a spokesman for Islam in the U.K. Here on Polygamy: " Ahmad Thomson, a barrister and founder of the Association of Muslim Lawyers, said that polygamous marriages could work in Britain if all parties were open and in agreement. But "sometimes the husband has tried to keep the earlier marriage secret. When the second or third wife finds out, it's devastating," he added. " ('DEATH OF EX FACE OF ASIA EXPOSES MURKY WORLD OF MUSLIM POLYGAMY IN UK' (RE-ISSUE). The Hindustan Times [New Delhi] 28 Dec 2008. [18]). Here on anti-Muslim media bias: " Ahmad Thomson, a leading barrister and co-founder of the Association of Muslim lawyers, who is also supporting calls for an inquiry, said he believed that most members of the public were unaware of the "depth of the vilification of Muslims" in the media. "I think the thing is that [an inquiry] will make people think and, if it gets on to the mainstream media, people will look at it more closely," he said. "In the long term, the object of this exercise is to raise standards of reporting in whatever form of media, as well as heightening public awareness of this issue. Maybe they would look at their fellow human beings in a much more favourable light if only the media would let them." (Calls for UK inquiry into 'anti-Muslim media bias'. The National [Abu Dhabi] 27 Jan 2012. [19]) There are a lot more quotes, over many years on many issues. Moreover the 2005 incident where he asserted that "Jews and Freemasons" were responsible for Prime Minister's Blair's decision to go to war in Iraq was quite a flap, extensively covered at the time. In conclusion, he stepped forward as a spokesman for Islam not once, but repeatedly. Solid sourcing exists for this role. His testimony in that Al Qaeda trial happened. The article needs editing and better sourcing, not deletion. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Kashmiri, I apologize for that. And I want to say that the first page of my first quick news google search showed little - that's when I went to Proquest. Wikipedia has arrangements to get qualified editors who request it past many paywalls. It is possible to search other ways, such as going through the many pages of a google news search on Ahmad Thomson, or searching the web sites of the individual newspapers. Here, or example, is the Wall Street Journal article where he testifies to working with a group that prosecutors call an Al Qaeda front.[20].E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:20, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • E.M.Gregory Yeah, these are all still (very, very) trivial mentions. Being a go-to quote for journalists does not seem to me to make someone notable. I've gone through Proquest and Lexis and don't know much more than that he is a London-based lawyer who said something in 2005 that got some coverage and has some other opinions. To see how trivial the mentions are, in the Wall Street Journal article you link to he is the 9th and last person mentioned in that article. You don't get more of a trivial mention than that. And if his only notability really is his link to Association of Muslim Lawyers, then it should be merged there. Right? I'm staying Delete (MERGE cool too) until there is a non-trivial mention from a source. But so far, none of the hits in Lexus or Proquest are). Indeed, after searching Proquest I'm actually more committed because there's only 3 mentions of the guy in Newspapers or Articles. Two in 2005 and the WSJ in 2015. This is actually a great example of someone who is ONEEVENT+trivial mentions otherwise. For me, that ain't even close to notable. AbstractIllusions (talk) 12:04, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I second AbstractIllusions here. The WSJ only mentions Thomson as the lawyer who helped to draft a certain legal document - this is way too WP:TRIVIAL to make the person notable. I haven't checked ProQuest but assuming AI's assertion above is true, all these mentions are insufficient for a Wikipedia biography. Actually, your detailed research has given me an increased confidence that Thomson indeed is not notable. — kashmiri TALK 12:16, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I apologize if I conveyed a impressionism. I did only the quickest searches, certainly no "detailed" research. I did a quick search on Proquest and another on google Books, added a couple of the news article on the Proquest search above and added a bit of material in books bluelinked scholars to the page. I'm sure that detailed research would produce better results. Cheers!E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:49, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Malik Shabazz Apologies, I'm getting back into wikipedia after a long break. Could you explain more about how you think WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE applies to this situation. The way I read the policy: If person is not notable and requests delete, then delete. But isn't that what we are trying to hash out, is dude notable or not? I think E.M. Gregory has made a convincing case for base notability. His writings have been featured in multiple books about Islamic thought (I even found an academic book that refers to him in a list of "well-known names"). That sorta makes it so that BLPREQUEST doesn't apply. But if you have a better reading of BLPREQUESTDELETE, I might have to flip on back. Thanks for the time, just want to help get this right. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think Malik Shabazz is right that if Ahmad Thomson has any notability at all, it certainly isn't much, and because Thomson opposes the article and requests its deletion, it could be deleted according to WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. The policy is precisely for marginal cases like this. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 17:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So, your reading (and I agree, I think) is in case of request, "tie" (not literal) goes towards delete. OK. That's fair. But that's for closing admin to consider, and isn't a policy that helps us ascertain notability. I agree that newspaper coverage is quite marginal and likely to make weight in the article very difficult to get right, but if an academic expert in the topic mentions a person in the same breath as Yusuf Islam as a prominent British Muslim convert, that raises the evidence bar for a 'Delete' vote. I still see him as clearly passing GNG (which is the policy we should be looking at, and not BLPREQUEST, which is unhelpful) AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:26, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry if I wasn't 100% clear. I expressed my opinion (delete this article about a "non-notable individual") and added the reference to WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE because, in my experience, many editors -- including administrators -- don't know all the BLP rules. It's also my opinion that if we have to debate the notability of an individual who has asked to have his biography deleted, it should be deleted. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 17:56, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that Thomson is a public figure, has been one for years, and that he has been so as a result of of his own activities and self-promotion - not due to some random or sole event. He is the author of many books, books that he has promoted with interviews and speaking tours. He has served as an (informal, non-appointive) adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair. He has given many press interviews on topics related to Islam over the course of more than 20 years. He was the subject of a long profile article in the Journal of the Muslim World League as far back as 2001. Although a barrister by profession, his many books are about Islam and, according to Canadian scholar of Islam Andrew Rippin, he is "well known" in the Muslim community. (cited on the page from a Rippin book) Outside the Muslim community , he has, for many years, been regularly sought out as an authority on Islam and Muslims by the Anglophone press. I brought a few examples of such citations above, there were many more in the Proquest archives where I found those. Here, for example [21] from the BBC, is an example of the many times he has been called on by the media as a expert on Muslim affairs. Sentences asserting that he appeared on programs called "Celebrity Lives Sharia Style,"[Celebrity Lives Sharia Style'] , " [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ahmad_Thomson&diff=724570653&oldid=724570336 and Note also that a good deal of material supportive of his notability has been removed from the page during this discussion. A RS section sentence section detailing his involvement with the Advice and Reform Committee [22] was removed. Discussion of Thomson's conversion and career in a book by Robert S. Wistrich was removed. Discussion of his writing in a book by Jean-Pierre Filiu, a highly-regarded academic who explores and discusses Thomson's published work at length, was removed.[23]. As I have said above, the material now on the page, and the material that has been removed form the page in the last few days are only a part of the reliable material on Thomson that exists in reliable sources. It exists because he has been an author, spokesman for Islam and, in other words, a public figure for many years. E.M.Gregory (talk) 08:21, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Dear E.M.Gregory, I hope you are well. Your statement about why the reference to the Advice and Reform Committee and other assertions about Thomson were removed from the page is a bit mistaken, in my view. The edits were reasonable and explained in the edit summaries or on your own talk page. I'm responsible for reverting some of your edits myself, but I did explain my rationale and at no point did I edit in order to misrepresent or whitewash Ahmad Thomson's views, some of which, if reported neutrally and accurately, would offend me. I merely wanted to ensure that, until other sources could corroborate your assertions, we err of the side of caution, given that the page is a BLP. I am concerned by what some might see as bias in your claim that Thomson is a public figure "as a result of his own activities and self-promotion". I do not accuse you of wanting to present Thomson negatively, but I do think he deserves his activities to be portrayed neutrally and factually, if they are proven to be notable at all. Regards and best wishes, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 10:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The sources GeorgeCuster asserts are in need of "corroboration" include a straightforward report on testimony in a criminal trial from the Wall Street Journal and a lengthy discussion of Thomson's work in a scholarly book by Jean-Pierre Filiu. The notion that, in removing this material GeorgeCuster is Whitewashing (censorship) the page is his own, I have not accused him of Whitewashing (censorship).E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I created no such notion. I was categorical: I am not whitewashing Ahmad Thomson. As for the sentence I reverted, I explained on your talk page that I have removed your good faith mention of Thomson's alleged connection to the Advice and Reform Committee, and thus his alleged connection to Al Qaeda, because the statement is not actually impartial; it comes from the Prosecution in a legal action and neither the Defense view nor the final verdict/decision are mentioned. It also does not say whether (or what) Thomson knew about this alleged connection to Al Qaeda at the time, but only mentions what he thought of the motives of the front group. Without other sources being added, we should be very cautious in a BLP. Do any other sources fill in the missing details? Given the weakness of the source, in good faith I am therefore adhering to the BLP guideline: "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." George Custer's Sabre (talk) 10:52, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Wall Street Journal reporting on a trial is as reliable as a secondary source gets. What the Wall Street JOurnal wrote is: " Ahmad Thomson, a London-based lawyer who testified for the defense, said he helped draft a constitution for the Advice and Reform Committee, the group that Mr. al-Fawwaz led in London after moving there in 1994. Mr. Thomson testified that the group was trying to promote "peaceful and constructive reform" in Saudi Arabia. However, prosecutors say the organization was just a front for al Qaeda's activities."

  • sources In addition to being discussed in many books by reputabbe publisers/authors, he e googles awfully well for an allegedly non-notable, albeit much of the material goes back to the 90s and may not have been immediately apparent on the early pages of a search. Here's a typical paragraph about him, typcal also in misunderstanding what he's saying, that is, expressing a pious hope that the whole world will soon see the light and accept Allah is no more radical than a pious hope that the whole world will soon see the light and accept Jesus. Nevertheless: Alive and Well and Living in London, Olivier Guitta. The Weekly Standard. (May 7, 2007): 10-11. [24] : By and large, though, British Muslims are the most radicalized Muslim community in Europe. An ICM Poll survey in February 2006 found that 40 percent of British Muslims favor the institution of sharia (Islamic law) in Britain. Another sometime adviser to the British government, Ahmad Thomson-z Rhodesia-born convert to Islam and a member of the Association of Muslim Lawyers-used this smooth formulation in the Cambridge University magazine Ar-Risaakh a couple of years ago: "I look forward to the day when the majority of British people have voted in favour of being governed in accordance with the Sharia of Islam." Thomson has argued that "Blair decided to go to war in Iraq because he is under the influence of a sinister group of Jews and Free Masons." .E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:14, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another: "Who are all these Muslim 'advisers' to government? Ahmad Thomson comes from the Association of Muslim Lawyers and advises No. 10 Downing Street." Moore, Charles. The Spectator (Sep 17, 2005) [25].E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "According to the Daily Telegraph, a Muslim barrister who 'advises' the Prime Minister has said that Mr Blair is the victim of a sinister conspiracy between the Freemasons and the Jews, who control him and took us to war in Iraq. Ahmad Thomson, from the Muslim Association of Lawyers, has previously denied that six million Jews died in the Holocaust: that's a 'big lie', he avers." Why do we tolerate intolerance? Liddle, Rod. The Spectator (Sep 17, 2005) [26] The man was an adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair, an informal, non-appointee adviser to be sure, but hardly a non notable person and his opinions are a matter of public record largely because he published them in books and had a reputation within the British Muslim community.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note also that while the first page of a google books search produces Thomson's own books, keep scrolling and you find discussions of his work in other books of Muslim piety and in books discussing contemporary Islam such as Religious Polemics in Context: Papers Presented to the Second International Conference of the Leiden Institute for the Study of Religions (Lisor) Held at Leiden, 27-28 April, 2000. Theo L. Hettema, Arie van der Kooij; British Muslim Converts: Choosing Alternative Lives Kate Zebiri, 2008; Routledge's 2014 Literature of Travel and Exploration: An Encyclopedia (Thomson's essay about experiencing the Haj), and many more, just scroll and remember that only a fraction of what exists appears on any particular books google search.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:55, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non notable individual. All the sources presented so far only seem to mention Thomson in passing. Even the work by Jean-Pierre Filiu only mentions him on 4 pages out of a book of 260 pages. Additionally, the discussion in this book is mostly focused on one of Thomson's works named "Dajjal and the New World Order" as opposed to Ahmad Thomson himself. Similarly, as far as I understand, Melanie Phillips is not an academic scholar and her book Londonistan is not peer reviewed or published by a respected publishing house. As such it would probably fail WP:RS. Additionally, she devotes less than half a page on Thomson.Saheeh Info 22:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • A misunderstanding of WP:GNG. Thomson's notability is supported by discussions in books of many kinds, including bestselling popular books like Phillips' Londonistan (published by Encounter Books and the other non-academic books I mentioned. Also, to support notability coverage must be "more than a trivial mention," but need not be lengthy. Discussions in books that I brought to this page include books that describe him as "well known" and others that describe Thomson as an advisor (by implicaiton an informal, occasional adviser) on Muslim affairs to Prime Minister Tony Blair. Of such sources is Wikipedia notability made.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:41, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GNG states that (emphasis mine) "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". The book by Melanie Phillips does not appear to be a reliable source as she is not an academic scholar and her book Londonistan is not peer reviewed or published by a respected publishing house. Examples of respected publishing houses include Brill, Oxford University Press etc... Additionally, none of the other books appear to provide "significant coverage" as WP:GNG requires. At best, they seem to only mention Thomson in passing. Can you list any works that pass WP:RS and provide "significant coverage" per WP:GNG which states that "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail... ? Saheeh Info 19:29, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A misunderstanding of WP:GNG. A book does not have to be from an academic press to contribute to notability. What we are establishing here is WP notability. A discussion of Thomson in a "bestseller"[27] by Melanie Phillips published by a major press is a RS towards notability, as are the other books I have mentioned.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:21, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a misunderstanding. You stated that sources don't need to be reliable. However, WP:GNG and WP:WHYN states that:
We require the existence of "reliable sources" so that we can be confident that we're not passing along random gossip, perpetuating hoaxes, or posting indiscriminate collections of information.
It also states that:
We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic.
So, for a subject to be considered notable it is a requirement that sources be reliable and it is a requirement that these reliable sources provide significant coverage. So far, the books / authors that you have listed only mention Thomson in passing and you haven't proved that they are reliable per WP:RS.
If you feel that unreliable sources (such as the book by Melanie Phillips) are valid to prove an individuals notability then please provide policy reasons for this view. Saheeh Info 07:46, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing editor That the page has been here since 2005, when it looked like this [28]. So I surmise that it was sparked by the spate of news article about Thomson that appeared that year, criticizing Tony Blair for having an adviser with radical views. Essentially an attack page, it soon replaced with a page that was long, unsourced, and defensive of Thomson. In 2006 Ahmad Thomson (apparently editing under his own name,) revised the page producing this: [29]. What can I say? Lots of people do that here. An editor who often works to defend Islam here cleaned the page up, providing RS that should certainly be replaced on the page (here: [30].) Editors came and went, Thomson weighed in periodically to snow the article with myriad un- and self-sourced edits (here, for example,: [31] article as it stood when he finished a typical bout of edits in 2011). In 10 years of editing his page, Thomson behaved as many artists, authors and others do, using WP as a personal advertisement. A few weeks ago an editor removed a swath of Thomson's un- and self-sourced text and Thomson objected: [32]. My interest in this is that while I object to WP:PROMO I equally object to a long-standing self-promoter like Thomson, a man who promotes himself not only on Wikipedia, Facebook, Youtube, etc., but in newspapers, as an author, spokesman for Islam, adviser to Prime Minister, and so forth, (albeit, one who is in less demand than he was 10-20 years ago. possibly because back then he was relatively unique as an Anglophone, pious, Muslim, British barrister) requesting deletion. It frankly feels like an attempt to abuse WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE to whitewash the past, and if Wikipedia is WP:PROMO it is also WP:NOTCENSORED. In conclusion, notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY, and I think it's too much of a stretch to define a man with the degree of sourcing, appearances in mainstream media, and even a role as advisor to a Prime Minister that Thomson demonstrably has (sources found on this page, in the old revisions, and in books and news sources not yet mentioned here) as WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE. E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:51, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, we are not concerned with whether anybody promotes themselves on YouTube, TV or the press. Conversely: if that has made the person/product/brand notable, they can get a WP article. Look, notability of people, brands and products is often a result of years of self-promotion, taking place before being picked up by independent sources. But as long as this promotion is carried out outside of Wikipedia, and as long as it resulted with independent sources attesting to notability, we should be fine with this.
Here, BLPREQUESTDELETE is of little relevance: either the person is notable, and then the article has to stay per policies, or he is not - in which case the article has to go anyway. — kashmiri TALK 15:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reminding editors that serious consideration of Thomson's work by scholars exists, but some has been removed from the page, and more (mentioned above) not yet added.

Removal of RS info during AFD is not good form. Here is the text form the Wall Street Journal article on a trial that resulted in the conviction of an Al Qaeda operative. " Ahmad Thomson, a London-based lawyer who testified for the defense, said he helped draft a constitution for the Advice and Reform Committee, the group that Mr. al-Fawwaz led in London after moving there in 1994. Mr. Thomson testified that the group was trying to promote "peaceful and constructive reform" in Saudi Arabia. However, prosecutors say the organization was just a front for al Qaeda's activities." Mr. Thomson is a barrister. This is the work he did as a barrister.

  • As is so often the case, I am not certain that I even understand what Sister Twister means to say. And there is no evidence of in her !Vote that she searched beyone sources already on the page.) However, in general, discussions of a topic in both academic and bestselling books, discussions of the subjects work in major newspapers, and coverage of a activities such as advising the British government do establish notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Furthermore, as I have said above, he was better known in the 1990s and early 2000s (many discussions of his books in popular, scholarly and pious (Muslim) articles and books) exist. For example, he was then discussed in a scholarly book, Ali Köse Conversion to Islam: A Study of Native British Converts (Routledge. 1996,) as a "well known" convert to Islam.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:49, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In Ralph Grillo Muslim Families, Politics and the Law: A Legal Industry in Multicultural Britain (Ashgate Publishing, 2015) he is described as "Hajj Ahmad Thomson a Muslim convert and head of a legal firm specializing in Islamic Law."(p. 10) Grillo goes on to discuss that public role Thomson took in a 2012 national debate over whether British courts should adopt Islamic family law. Thomson, according to Grillo, appeared on television asking why Baroness Onora O'Neill raised only the question of Muslim law, asserting that Ecclesiastical Christian courts and Jewish courts have been allowed under British law to adjudicate family law since the 12th century. Grillo implies that O'Neill was forced to respond to Thomson's question, and did so at a Parliamentary hearing. Look, I am not going to bring ever similar RS in which Thomson work is discussed to this page. (There are far too many.) What I am arguing here is that there is so much evidence, over so many years, and so much evidence that Thomson sought out and filled very public roles that I truly fail to see a policy-based argument for deletion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was a redirect to Plato when discovered and was immediately sent to RfD. The result was "restore article without prejudice against sending to AfD". Therefore, I am now committing it to your hands. The Traditionalist (talk) 21:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • RfD closer here. I recommend keep. I was personally persuaded by Legacypac's argument that "Anyone we know something about that lived that long ago deserves at least a stub." Because he's closely related to three people for which we have articles - Critias, Solon, and Plato - there isn't a single sensible place to merge this. The mention by Critias, the cited 1892 book,[33] and these modern sources [34][35] add up to "persistent coverage" (over 1500 years!) in "independent reliable sources". So I recommend keeping this article despite the likelihood of WP:Permastub. Deryck C. 14:45, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    "Closely related" is a bit strong: Critias was his great grandson, Plato cannot have been more closely related than great great grandson, and we have no idea how Solon was related to Dropidas, except that Critias asserts that he was.[See below] As for your modern sources, one is the cited 1892 book in question, which is simply a translation of Plato's dialogues; the modern book mentions Dropidas once and gives us nothing new; and the website gives us something new ("Dropidas was mentioned in the poems of Solon."), but doesn't identify the poem, which makes finding it to confirm more difficult, and at any rate is part of a website arguing among other things that Atlantis was real: hardly a reliable source!
    That said, it does seem to be WP practice to keep articles on pretty much every attested ancient Greek person ever mentioned in any source, no matter how permastubby they are. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 10:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, it turns out that Diogenes Laertius tells us that "Dropides" [sic] was Solon's brother. Given that he was writing 700+ years after Solon, however, I'm not sure how accurate that is likely to be... Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 10:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Deryck Chan: There actually is a single sensible place to merge this into: Timaeus (dialogue).--The Traditionalist (talk) 13:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Traditionalist: I'm not so sure. Timaeus is a large text and the mention of Dropidas is too little a portion of it to warrant a detailed mention there. Besides, the discussion below seems to have established that Timaeus wasn't the only ancient Greek text that mentioned the Dropidas who is the subject of this article. Deryck C. 22:20, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a problem with the translations. See here.--The Traditionalist (talk) 13:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Caeciliusinhorto: The bit about the poems is most likely a misreading of the ancient text. The text says: “[...] ὡς ὁ τῶν ἑπτὰ σοφώτατος Σόλων ποτ᾽ ἔφη. ἦν μὲν οὖν οἰκεῖος καὶ σφόδρα φίλος ἡμῖν Δρωπίδου τοῦ προπάππου, καθάπερ λέγει πολλαχοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῇ ποιήσει” which I quickly translate as: “[...] as the wisest of the seven, Solon, once said. he, then, was a friend and very much beloved of Dropides, great-grandfather to us, exactly in the fashion he himself (i.e. Dropides!) says many times in his poetry”. The text says that Solon is mentioned in the poems of Dropides. Solon, after all, did not write poetry. As if Atlantis was not enough, the source has confirmed its complete unreliability.--The Traditionalist (talk) 14:15, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Traditionalist: My Greek isn't good enough to tell whether the poems in the text refer to Solon's or Dropidas', but it's certainly not true that Solon didn't write poetry: indeed, poetry attributed to Solon survives, though only in fragmentary form. You'll find it in the Loeb Classical Library's volume on Greek Elegiac poetry. (And it gets an entire subsection at Solon#Poetry) Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 17:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Caeciliusinhorto: Ouch, I suppose I did not know that. Still, it is rather obvious from the Greek text that the speaker refers to the poetry of Dropides.--The Traditionalist (talk) 21:54, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and Redirect to Critias. I agree that it's worth keeping this information, but don't see what disservice it does to the reader to take what scant content we have about the subject and merge it into the subject through which most of that content relates. Certainly no objection to recreating at some point if we have more to go by. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:52, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Critias, per Rhododendrites. Being related to a notable person does not confer notability, per Wikipedia policy. I'm sympathetic to the argument that anyone who lived that long ago must be notable; but there ought to be some kind of facts other than how he's related to another person. Relationships can be summed up on the pages of notable persons to whom he's related, with no loss of content. P Aculeius (talk) 07:42, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The discussion is leaning toward deletion, but the "no indication of notability" delete !vote is ambiguous in terms of whether or not it is based only upon the state of sourcing in the article, which is not an indicator of whether or not a subject is notable, or if additional source searches were performed to qualify the stance. The weak keep !vote provides some evidence to substantiate the rationale.

Article on non-notable organization. Has two independent refs that are minor mentions. Third ref is from related organization. Overall non-notable, as there are not enough refs to establish wide independent significant coverage. WP:BEFORE turns up little; work by three editors so far fails to turn up genuine notability. This is an important organization, but not in terms of Wikipedia's notability requirements. Information like this belongs on a separate web site hosted by the org itself, or the Jesuit faith. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 23:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article was a translated stub, offering others the chance to enlarge it. Thanks to someone in Venezuela this has been done and I have added an English explanation of these independent references, while adding others (please note). I suggest that all large development centres should qualify for inclusion under the rubric of development charities or poverty-related organizations. This is such a centre and does extensive work, as can be gathered from reports in its publications as well as from the independent sources referenced in the article.Jzsj (talk) 18:49, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Jzsj, You have said you have a master's degree from somewhere. I'm hoping that I can infer from that that you have the mental ability to understand the following, which you have been told numerous times. There are no special rules for "development charities or poverty-related organizations". The general rules are WP:ORG and WP:GNG. You continue to argue that there should be special rules for your pages. It does not work that way. You say you are impartial, but your editing is blatantly promotional, and you call repeatedly for special rules for your "development charities or poverty-related organizations". Your pages are bing deleted and merged with other pages because, once again, there are no special rules for "development charities or poverty-related organizations", no matter how many times you ask. It does not matter that you are a priest or a retired priest or even God. No special rules. Please stick to the actual rules: notability and good sources.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 23:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The above statement by HappyValleyEditor is a personal attack against a specific editor, and also quite offensive in nature. "You have said you have a master's degree from somewhere. I'm hoping that I can infer from that that you have the mental ability to understand the following," Remember during an AFD it is best to discuss the article, not comment on the editors. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 23:31, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As we all know, you do not appreciate my deletionist agenda nor my aggressive approach to COI editors. In any case, the above advice is very reasonable given that the editor in question cpersistently ignores the basics of WP:GNG and WP:RS, despite my having told him about this multiple (i.e. five to ten) times, and there having been a dicsusion at COIN about it. Despite this, the editor persists in asking for special rules for religious and poverty organizations. When an editor consistently ignores the foudnational rules, it is time to ask them if there is something going on in the comprehension area that might be causing them to continue to edit outside of the established policies. My statement above is simply another request that he follow the basic rules of WP:GNG and WP:RS. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 00:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep This article subject has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as books, journals, newspapers and articles, and thereby passes WP:GNG. Some of the sources are as follows:

Justicia social en Venezuela: la preocupación social de la Compañía de Jesús [37], Centro Gumilla [38], Political Communication and Leadership: Mimetisation, Hugo Chavez and the construction [39], Firmado convenio de investigación entre Fundacredesa y Centro Gumilla [40], Interview with international media. [41], Popular Voices in Latin American Catholicism [42], Embassy in Bolivia carries Gumilla report. [43], Global Journal of Community Psychology Practice [44], Prensa on violence in the schools. [45], BOB award. [46], ProDaVinci report on contemporary journalism [47], El Espectador [48], PROVEA. [49], Public library catalogue. [50], Centro Gumilla realizó taller de desarrollo personal para Warao en Tucupita [51], Local Church, Global Church [52], Important contributions on cooperatives in Venezuela. [53]

With all these reliable sources such as newspapers, journals, books, articles and magazines, and the significant coverage within their pages the subject has well crossed the threshold oh notability WP:N and passes WP:GNG. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 00:37, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced. I know that earlier you had added the Yellow pages as a reference, so I checked the ones you provided above. The first link provided is published by a Cathoolic university. Of course they say good things about a Catholic organization. The second link is 404. The third link is two very brief partial sentences in a book. Some are good finds, but let's see: #10 provided above is a Wiki page. A Wiki page is a bad source, becasue anyone can publish there. #11 is actually a publication of the Centro Gumilla, so that would qualify as a self-published ref, wouldn't you say? #13 is an announcement for a photo contest. #14 is not actually a reference, but rather a library catalog listing. All in all, you've come up with a few decent refs and many very sketchy refs. I'd encourage more attention to WP:RS, and in turn notability. The bottom line here is that when you take away the Jesuit-published sources, most of these articles disintegrate. It's good work, but not notable in the wikipedia sense, and it should be published elsewhere. Wikipedia is just being used as apromotional vehicle to promote these entities.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 00:58, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I stand by my diffs from the article and my statement above, "With all these reliable sources such as newspapers, journals, books, articles and magazines, and the significant coverage within their pages the subject has well crossed the threshold of notability WP:N and passes WP:GNG." Discounting sources that you did not even take the time to read is certainly not convincing and surely a quite poor argument. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 01:08, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was just ponting out that you have a habit of providing a slew of sources, many of which are weak, poor or inappropriate, like the addition of the Yellow Pages listing as a reference. Also I was pointing out that it would be good to take more care in actually reading your sources. I did read most of your sources carefully, which is how I found that you were presenting the Yellow pages, a library catalogue listing, a wiki, a self-published item and a 404 page, among others, as good references. Sorry, that's just the facts! Happy editing!HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:10, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, source #15 that you give above is publised by Fe Y Alegria, a Jesuit organization. Look at the domain name. I really encourage you to read your sources carefully, to avoid providing bad ones as you have above and in the article.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:19, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is certainly nothing wrong with citing sources published by a Jesuit organization or a site connected with some aspect of the Catholic Church. They are reputable organizations and can be used to confer notability. Perhaps you should read over WP:RS and not be so quick to dismiss good sources because you might or might not have a bias to their organizations. Do you have a bias toward Jesuit organizations or the Catholic church? I notice that you are attempting to delete many articles about Jesuit and Catholic related organizations. Just asking for clarity. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 02:48, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Madam, I'm not the one who added the Yellow pages listing as a reference! I'm simply pointing out your addition of bad references. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 06:37, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I believe I may have to go with Delete here unless better coverage can then be found as there's still questionability for independent notability. Delete instead and Draft perhaps as about 10-15 pages of Google Books has only shown the best link so far to be this, it's still questionable at best. This would need familiar attention but I beleive this would be restarted anew. Notifying DGG for his analysis with this subject. SwisterTwister talk 05:38, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see no point in adding to the article more press notices on its articles, as its publications are immense and the article attempts only to summarize its works.

Campaign brochure for a person whose only substantive claim of notability is her status as an as yet unelected candidate in a political party's nomination contest. This is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL; a person must win the election and thereby hold a notable office to earn inclusion on that basis, and otherwise must be properly sourceable as having enough preexisting notability to have already earned an article under some other criterion independent of her candidacy itself. Nothing here properly demonstrates that, however; while there are some small claims of minor local notability as a housing rights activist, they're sourced exclusively to neighbourhood community weekly newspapers and don't suggest a compelling reason why she'd warrant coverage in an international encyclopedia for them -- which just leaves us right back at the non-starter "notable because candidate".

  • Weak keep – The subject has also received coverage for her involvement in Los Sures, so this is not a WP:BLP1E situation. There is actually some coverage that demonstrates the subject meets WP:BASIC. A great deal of coverage is local, but the subject has received national news coverage, such as in The Nation. See below for source examples. North America1000 17:55, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • But that coverage is candidacy-related. It would, I think, take more candidacy-related coverage than that to make this a keep if she wins. This category has been consistently interpreted very strictly to exclude campaign-related coverage. Take a look, for example, at the recent AFD on Chrys Kefalas here[55], which had national (and even international coverage - in the country his ancestors immigrated from), and pre-campaign coverage as an activist and political operative.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:18, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those are all coverage of the candidacy itself — and three of the four are local online media startups, whose coverage focus is local to the district where she's running, which makes them WP:ROUTINE local coverage. The only one that even slightly counts toward making her more notable than the norm for an unelected candidate is The Nation — but if you want to get a candidate into Wikipedia on "the coverage is expanding beyond routine-local" grounds, then the volume of extralocal coverage it takes to get there has to be a hell of a lot closer to "the eight-headed media beast that ate Christine O'Donnell" than to "one article in one magazine".

An article about an upcoming film - the problem is that it has been "upcoming" since 2013, the official website of the film (indiameinlahore.com) is dead, and when I looked for sources I found an official statement from the producers from 2014 saying that the movie is "on hold". There are a few rather meager sources in the article about the original plans, and I also found this fairly substantial article, but a shelved movie project doesn't meet any of the WP:MOVIE criteria and the existing coverage doesn't meet WP:GNG.

It should also be mentioned that the user who started the article was subsequently blocked as a sock of a previously blocked user, and it appears that one reason the article was created was to advertise a nn person and their company - currently there are no such problems in the article, but it's there in the history. bonadea contributions talk 19:08, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He played minor league baseball in Germany and Israel? Also competed on Israel national team. He won a Gold Glove in the Israel Baseball League as the best defensive infielder. Many players from the league played professionally after the league folded. After retiring he founded a baseball academy in New York. He was appointed Director of Israel Baseball and plays on Senior national team Basketballfan12 (talk) 04:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Before the article is deleted, Nate Fish competed in the Israel Baseball League whose teams were coached by former Jewish MLB players ie. Art Shamsky, of the New York Mets, Ron Bloomberg of the New York Yankees,Major League Baseball's first designated hitter. The League Administration was led by Dan Duquette,Director of Operations who previously worked for the Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expos,currently works for the Baltimore Orioles.These individuals made an impact on the MLB on and off the field.

Do these count as reliable sources? They all describe the successful work Nate does of bringing baseball to Israel using the lessons of being an athlete and coach.These are some secondary sources which can be added. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

I think they're all reliable sources, but I don't think they establish notability. Many of them are brief mentions in passing, Maccabi USA is a primary source. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:54, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete fails GNG and even if some consider it marginally notable, it is here for promotion. That is enough reason to delete. We are not here for that Jytdog (talk) 03:29, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have re-written and re-referenced this. This is a print newspaper which has been around for over 40 years and has been covered independently in the San Diego Union-Tribune. The COI and advertorial tone are not a valid reason to delete an article if it can be fixed. Yet none of you !voting "delete" even tried to (a) find independent sources or (b) fix it. Given that many local newspapers are used in references and are often the only sources for local history, it is of considerable encyclopedic value both to readers and editors, to know the history and background of the source itself. Voceditenore (talk) 09:21, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is not widely used in WP. I'll also note that editors with a COI should put articles through AfC so they can be peer reviewed before they publish. At minimum AfD puts it through a peer review to see if should be here at all. If it is improved to the point where it should exist through this process, great. Jytdog (talk) 09:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Jytdog, the fact that it is not currently widely used is immaterial, especially given the efforts to expunge any mention of it in any article because of its creator's COI. It could in theory be used to reference multiple articles in that area of San Diego County. Who created it is immaterial. AfD is not supposed to be used as a punishment. I have nominated and/or !voted "delete" in many, many COI/promo articles for non-notable subjects. I can't stand the stuff. However, I have also re-written, re-referenced, and rescued many others. In my view this is COI-phobia carried to an extreme, to the point where our readers are deprived of encyclopedic information. Voceditenore (talk) 09:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is my second edit conflict. I was just reviewing your work and was coming back here to change my !vote. You saved it. I do not appreciate the "COI-phobia" nor your other rhetoric but maybe we can talk about that some other time. Jytdog (talk) 10:02, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article says that the shopping center "will have" such-and-such retailers, suggesting it wasn't completed at the time the article was written in June 2008. The only mentions I can find in English are clearly copied from Wikipedia. This and this article in Romanian seem to suggest that the place hasn't been built (but I don't really speak Romanian, so I might have that wrong).

The article was proposed for speedy deletion in 2010 (CSD 11), but the reviewing admin said it was not obvious spam.

Bottom line, it does not appear to satisfy General Notability or WP:CORP. Cnilep (talk) 02:16, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not a Wikia, completely unsourced, and full of original research. This is from a single episode? Why not make it an episode article then? However, given that it is unsourced and not notable, this won't happen. It isn't even a theme of the series. There are plenty of other anime series like Haunted Junction which have stories about seven supernatural wonders at their school. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 21:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Full story: The series is basically lots of mysteries that run for a number of chapters/episodes and then are done with, much like Conan. Originally this particular mystery was published as 10 chapters across 2 volumes in japan, but as the english edition recompiled the chapters so each book contained a single "case", it was one volume in english. The anime adapted it into the first three episodes of the original anime. It's essentially an episodic article but the episode itself is not notable.

  • Keep Here is link to Thai Rath (Thailand No.1 newspaper) news tagged with him [57]: 10 news in 2016, 46 news in 2015, 10 news in 2014, 14 news in 2013, 8 news in 2012, 5 news in 2011 starting from 3 September 2011 (likely due to the limit of newspaper's tagging system). --Lerdsuwa (talk) 16:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • By the way, older articles in Bangkok Post are only available through paid subscription, thus do not show up in Google search. This search directly at Bangkok Post website shows more news coverage [58]. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 16:29, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
