WP:BLP of a photojournalist, referenced entirely to primary sources without a shred of reliable source coverage shown. As always, Wikipedia is not a place where any creative professional is entitled to an article just because she exists -- the article must explicitly make a claim of notability that satisfies WP:CREATIVE, and must be sourced to media coverage about her, to gain inclusion. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if she can be sourced better than this. Bearcat (talk) 22:42, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep She has coverage in multiple RS over time. Also, the O.O McIntyre Professorship is a named professorship at the University of Missouri. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:01, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The McIntyre Professorship is not an endowed professorship of the type considered notable by WP:PROF (something given as recognition for scholarly accomplishments in excess of the average full professor). Rather, it is an annual local award for teaching excellence [3]. We don't usually consider local teaching awards good enough for notability. I have not yet formulated an opinion about whether Reed might be notable for some other reason, but I don't think this award is an adequate reason. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete perhaps and draft and userfy if needed as unless this can be changed and considered notable, this is currently seeming questionable for the applicable notability. Asking DGG for education analysis. SwisterTwister talk 05:30, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
May I comment that anybody can userfy. All one needs to do is go into edit source, copy the source into a text processor and paste it into one's sandbox. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:07, 21 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]
I don't think that's the ideal method. A page move is better. Normally that doesn't take an admin either. DGG ( talk ) 19:42, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep although a weak keep, as per above sources, also sources here and here.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep WP:PROF as applied here would expect her to be judged primarily as a photographer, using WP:CREATIVE. I don't see any substnatial criticlawork on her or any work in museums. One book with a few reviews (in about 200 libraries) is a little sparse for WP:AUTHOR. On the otherhand, shje is a full professor at a very high quality professional school, and I trust their judgment more than our own. DGG ( talk ) 19:49, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An unsourced article about an individual vehicle, with absolutely nothing to distinguish it from hundreds of thousands of others. An attempt to merge it into MeerKAT was immediately (and correctly) rejected, and redirecting it there wouldn't make sense as it there's no mention of it there (nor should there be). —Cryptic 23:00, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep This is a redirect resulting from Nightwalker-87's recent merge of the content of this article into the target LTE (telecommunication). The original needs to be kept to prevent breaking existing links, to maintain the edit history (which was not merged), and because it is likely a useful redirect on its own merits. Note that this is the 4th recent AFD or speedy from this editor on similar topics that I have had to contest. Meters (talk) 04:24, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I see and agree on the point that the edit history is an important point here. Please note also that "this user" has constructively contributed in more than 4000 edits compared to a few recent AFDs or SD requests he decided to bundle during his structuring and maintenance work on mobile technologies which can in some parts be viewed here. Please stay with WP:AGF. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 10:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's no AGF issue. I did assume good faith, and I made no comment on intent. I was merely pointing out that there were a number of very questionable AFDs so that reviewers could watch for more. As it turned out I was correct, and there were more. Meters (talk) 17:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect this is a hoax. The Internet has never heard of a serial killer named Lino Brigman (or of anyone with that name). The single source is a book that WorldCat has never heard about which is very strange since it was supposedly published by Random House. (Google also has 0 hits for the author of the book).

  • Keep Major even in 2016 Presidental election. Notability validated by massive coverage, including ongoing Monday morning quarterback analysis by pretty much ever political pundit in the country (not to mention newspaper coverage in Antarctica and on the North Pole.) National political polls have already come out evaluating the impact on the Republican primary electorate. WP:NOTNEWS is meant to exclude article on routine, local and minor news events.

  • Keep. I agree that having both this article and Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, seems gratuitous, and the early creation of the Chicago article may have fell afoul of the guideline not to "rush to create articles" (WP:BREAKING). But a few points: 1) Despite comments to this effect in the AfD for Protests of the Donald Trump campaign, there doesn't actually seem to be too much overlap in the real content of the two articles, and there does on the contrary seem to be enough material for a detailed run-through of the Chicago event, which would be a distraction on the wider page. 2) The Chicago protest does also seem to be individually notable above and beyond the wider theme of protests in the Donald Trump campaign. WP:EVENTCRIT states, "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards". The Chicago protests were covered internationally (e.g.: BBC; Swissinfo; Asahi Shinbun), and have also been the subject of specific continued re-analysis ("In Defense of Trump's Chicago Protesters" from today; "Liberal protesters didn't stop Donald Trump in Chicago. They helped him.", likewise today). —Nizolan (talk) 20:13, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. Technically, the subject of the article has been widely covered, but a single article covering all of the past and future protests will keep the information in the proper context (Trump's campaign).

  • Comment - Wikipedia's licensing frowns on copying content from one article page to create the backbone for another article. Direct copying , which it was for Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, should not be done. 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest was more spontaneous. Before we start advocating for the changes suggested here, lets be sure that we are building on a solid platform, one that wasn't built without adherence to Wikipedia's page history functionality which would list all edits made to a page and all the users who made those changes. Let's not save the one with a copyright issue. Merging into Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 inspite of this diff makes more sense as long as the history problem is resolved somehow. Any suggestion?

Anyway, there are numerous reliable sources for this event. A merge discussion with the wider protest article should probably be treated separately.

WP:BLP of an artist, based entirely on primary sources with no evidence shown of the reliable source coverage it takes to pass WP:CREATIVE. As always, Wikipedia is not a place where any artist is entitled to an article just because she exists -- but this is basically just a résumé, sourced entirely to directly affiliated organizations rather than media coverage, and is neither substantive enough nor sourced enough to make her suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia.

Keep. This independent source from a highly respectable authority testifies to the subject's notability.--Ipigott (talk) 07:58, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Artists Representation is not an independent source or a highly respectable authority — it's a public relations organization for artists of which she's a board member, and thus is a directly affiliated primary source. Bearcat (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
She is not listed as a board member here.--Ipigott (talk) 08:07, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A direct quote from the article you claimed as an independent source in the original comment: "As a member of the board of CARFAC Saskatchewan, [Fay] played a key role on the CARFAC SASK Mentorship Program Development Committee." She may not be a member of the organization's national board, but she is a member of one of its regional chapter boards. Bearcat (talk) 19:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, not. She is not mentioned as board member here [9]. Regards. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:36, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See the quote I pulled out at you again. Whether she is currently a board member, or isn't now but has been in the past, is a moot point — either way, it's still an organization with which she's directly affiliated, not an independent third party. Bearcat (talk) 03:26, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is the same you can say about Academy of Motion Pictures and Nobel Committees. They are organisation, in which motion pictures professionals and academics are members and thus choose between themselves. Why do you decline the same rights for artists? As Ipigott wrote she is not board member, so there is no conflict of interests. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:18, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not all motion picture professionals are automatically members of the Academy, and not all scientists/academics are automatically members of the Nobel committee — both of those prizes are judged by members of those organizations, but can be (and more often than not are) presented to people who are not. And at any rate, the notability or non-notability of an award is not judged by the composition of the judging board or the composition of the nominees' pool, but by the degree to which the media do or don't treat that award as newsworthy — both the Academy Awards and the Nobel Prize are things that the media extensively cover as news stories. But the only source shown for this award is a press release on the awarding organization's own website rather than a news article — which means that it hasn't been demonstrated as an award that can make its winners notable for winning it, because news coverage of it, in media independent of itself, has not been shown. Bearcat (talk) 19:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
An artist's exhibitions in galleries do not get them over WP:CREATIVE if the sourcing for those exhibitions is the primary source webpages of the galleries where the exhibitions were held — it requires third party media coverage writing about those exhibitions. Bearcat (talk) 23:41, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Bearcat. Definitely not, but as I said about what get her to pass WP:CREATIVE is [11]. Specifically, it's "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.". She was not just mentioned there. We won an awards. The exhibition links are just pointing to the fact she exhibits in public galleries, which is supportive fact. Regards. Arthistorian1977 (talk)
The award she won is one that's presented by CANFAR to one of its own members, and sourced only to CANFAR's own press release about it on CANFAR's own website, rather than to any reliable sourcing which demonstrates that it's an award which the media consider newsworthy. Which means it's an award that we could mention in an article that had already satisfied WP:CREATIVE in other ways — but it's not an award that can give her a CREATIVE pass in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 18:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot imagine simply having your work exhibited in any public gallery is a sufficient sign that a person is "an important figure." That would mean pretty much any student artist would qualify. Clearly the standard is higher than that. FuriouslySerene (talk) 16:14, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep More citations have been added as well as examples of her work.--Chittah (talk) 01:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While technically it's true that more "citations" have been added, they're all still primary and/or directory sources — there still hasn't been a single reliable source, of the type that can actually support encyclopedic notability because it represents substantive coverage about her in media, added at all. Bearcat (talk) 15:36, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Saskatchewan NAC and ArtSask are secondary sources - one sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Heritage Canada, the other an organization with a mandate to provide access to biographical information about artists in the province for educational purposes.--Chittah (talk) 16:11, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Saskatchewan NAC and ArtSask are both membership organizations to which artists submit their own self-written biographical profiles to the member directories. They do not represent third party coverage about her in media. Bearcat (talk) 16:14, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Art Sask provides information for educational purposes - it's not posted verbatim from the artist - they have editors who review the content as it's intended for research in schools. The video interviews are obviously primary sources, but those haven't been cited here. what about the media sources? Leader-Post, Galleries West, etc. --Chittah (talk) 16:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic and Sorani news use different names in their news. According to some reliable sources, it's even unclear what was his position in ISIS but they believe his was just commander of his own unit. It is known that he had his own small unit (~30 fighters) but as I said there are hundreds of units like his units and hundreds of commanders like him. We really don't know his real name, birth details, position, how old he was, name and size of his unit. Even Western sources use different names and details when they mention him. We can't even verify his real name from any reliable sources so I would go with delete.

We have a WP:FORK issue. This article was created with the edit summary "A start", but by the end of the creator's initial contributions, as you can see here, the article was a clear duplication of content from 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest and Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016#Violence and expulsions at rallies. This does not appear to be in line with WP:CWW, despite this edit with the edit summary "from campaign article", without a link to said campaign article. I thought about nominating this for speedy deletion via A10, but am instead seeking a discussion of how to handle this.

Borderline notability based on teasing things out of sources that are primarily about something else, and the subject appears to want the article removed. We would normally accede to a request to remove where the subject is not slam-dunk notable, and I think that is the case here, any notability is certainly not conferred by membership of Die Antwoord, but the part in Chappie may eventually result in the significant independent coverage that is currently lacking in the cited sources. Guy (Help!) 14:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Topic appears to meet the GNG. Per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE the request for deletion only applies to "non-public" figures, so I don't think her request matters here (a performer is a public figure in general AFAIK) even if it is her requesting the deletion (which I don't think we know, it could be a troll).

Please see WP:EVENTCRITERIA for more information. Stanleytux (talk) 19:55, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You are the article creator. I don't expect you to say "Delete". That being said, I don't see how this is different from every other kidnapping cases reported on a daily basis. Editors should bear in mind recentism, the tendency for new and current matters to seem more important than they might seem in a few years time. Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance. A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 20:03, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It's terrible, but it is not "a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance", so doesn't meet WP:EVENT. I agree that WP:BLP1E does not apply, because the article is about neither the victim nor the perp, but the event. But in that case, WP:EVENT applies. In any case, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, as noted. ubiquity (talk) 20:06, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that this Kidnapping incident attracted huge media attention, with several Nigerian leaders, public figures, Nigerians on social media, youth groups reacting to it, is enough historical significance. Note that it is not all kidnapping cases that draw the attention of Governors, Senators, Human Rights activists, youth groups, and others. There was even a social media campaign #FreeEse etc plus the article has passed WP:GNG. The story appeared on foreign news media like Newsweek (article) and the BBC (article). This is the second most popular child abduction case in Nigeria after Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping. Stanleytux (talk) 07:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This case is unlikely to be a catalyst for something else of lasting significance. Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else. That's not the case here. For example, the murder of Adam Walsh ultimately led to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, enacted by the 109th United States Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 27, 2006. In the case of Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping, 276 female students were kidnapped about a year ago, with no chance of survival and up till now, the kidnapping case is still generating media coverages. How on earth will you compare a kidnapping case involving about 300 students with several deaths recorded and the kidnapping of a single person with no death recorded. Wikipedia is not news.

  • Weak delete WWE's tag division has been incredibly week for the past decade or so, it's not uncommon for the to pair up two guys and for them to push them until they run out of steam. The rule of thumb that I consider when discussing notability is whether or not the team won any titles and whether or not they ever got an official team name... obviously this isn't always accurate, but it usually is. 3MB (professional wrestling), Tons of Funk and Team Rhodes Scholars had names but never experienced any success, they clearly fail GNG. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth were WWE Tag Team Champions and PWI tag team of the year but had no official team name and were clearly two guys grouped together and experienced success only because the tag roster was so thin at the time. Air Boom (which was cited in the original ShoMiz deletion discussion) would probably get my keep vote because they had a name and WWE tried to push them as an actual team, complete with a reign with the belts, before Evan Borne's wellness violations put an end to that. ShoMiz was thrown together so that DX and the Hart Dynasty could have someone to feud with. They barely have an official name because it's a portmanteau. Yea, they won the belts, but they're closer to Kofi Kingston and R-Truth than they are to Air Boom. There's nothing in this article that isn't in their individual articles.LM2000 (talk) 08:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • - like Isarra said in the previous nomination, well-covered, won an apparently somewhat important thingy, and while WP:N doesn't entirely apply to this sort of thing there's probably enough here to merit keeping especially on account of the winningness. If anyone searches for 'showmiz' they'll probably be wanting this instead of an article on one or the other of the guys regardless.
  • But Kofi Kingston and R-Truth won two important things and they fail GNG. Also, there's not much reliable coverage out there beyond WP:ROUTINE match results. It's been six years since these guys were together, it's fair to say they didn't stand the test of time either.LM2000 (talk) 22:06, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep ShoMiz was covered in a book:
    1. Shields, Brian (2014). 30 Years of WrestleMania. London: Penguin Books. p. 183. ISBN 1465434208. Retrieved 2016-03-14.

      The book notes:

      The Miz and John Morrison were a successful tag team, winning both the WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship. The duo eventually split and The Miz found additional tag team gold by partnering with the World's Largest Athlete, Big Show. John Morrison and R-Truth looked to claim the tag championship for themselves. They'd had some non-title success against ShoMiz leading in to WrestleMania XXVI, so they felt confident that they could strike gold at the Showcase of the Immortals.

      The former partners started the match against each other. Morrison and R-Truth isolated The Miz from his partner, punishing the Awesome One with quick tags and aerial maneuvers. Morrison was set to end the match by delivering Starship Pain to a prone Miz, but Show pulled his partner out of the ring. The champions took control of the match when Big Show tagged in and used his massive size and strength against the challengers, including slamming R-Truth against the ring post. With Morrison and Miz battling inside the ring, Show made a blind tag of his partner that Morrison did not see. Morrison went to spring off the ropes, but instead received a Knockout Punch from the World's Largest Athlete. Show pinned Morrison, allowing ShoMiz to retain their championship.

    Significant coverage in a book strongly indicates the subject has enduring notability. The book and the sources in the article allow the subject to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

  • Keep - Actual rail station (see WP:RAILOUTCOMES) serving a city of over a quarter million people plus its surrounding populus. Such a station in the US or UK would never even be considered for AfD. Might this be a case of WP:BIAS? --Oakshade (talk) 15:41, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, A little good faith would probably not be amiss here. Bad argument in any case. Articles with similar (crap) sourcing are commonly before AfD. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 15:49, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The notability requirements stipulate the existence of sources, not what's currently in the article. It's impossible for a major station to exist without extensive government reports, surveys, traffic and environmental studies, not to mention its importance to the city and region it serves.

About a Catholic nun. There are three refs in the article, one by the subject and two that don't mention the subject. There are two external links, one to an unreliable site and one that doesn't mention the subject. There are refs out there, but most are to social media or unreliable sites. There are short mentions in a couple of books. Suggest page be redirected to Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary with some material merged in there.

  • the article is a work in progress that has been up less than 24 hours -- there are many wiki articles with less [accurate] source data and references; since most references regarding the subject are in Spanish they are not helpful to English users of wiki who want information on this subject; the article has many references to other wiki articles and definitions; the subject has not yet been the object of English biographies; an autobiographical source is often more accurate than a "commentary" from someone who has no direct contact with the subject, the history, or the facts. To ensure this article is ACCURATE and well resourced and cross referenced will take time; it is a work in progress and there is nothing better available worldwide or I would reference it. Startarrant (talk) 00:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this article and delete article on the order (was Keep). It's reasonable to let editor working on it to proceed. The biography/autobiography that is off-cited is fine as a source for non-controversial facts. No info is disputed, right? The editor has less than 500 edits; give some room. However the editor should make an effort in future to try to establish notability more clearly using multiple sources. --doncram 03:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, I've been dealing with the editor for over a year. They didn't have any resources a year ago about the person or the order except the person's book. They still don't have any. Put it into draft space, but it doesn't meet article criteria. Bgwhite (talk) 05:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh? I believe you, but there is no Talk page and so no record of any discussion about it. I see this article was created 22 February 2016, perhaps it is a new version of something created a year ago that was deleted? Also I see a note by you in editor's Talk page history a year ago, but no mention of this topic. A link to past discussion would help here. --doncram 02:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I found and linked to prior discussion below. I changed my view to "delete" as there seem to be no acceptable-for-Wikipedia sources available to say anything at all about the nun or the order. It even is remotely possible that the order does not exist, that if one of us goes to its supposed location in Mexico that we would find there is nothing there. Assuming there really was such a nun and order, it will be frustrating for the contributor to hear, but there's not even enough evidence available to rule out the possibility that this is an elaborate hoax. I googled "order of atonement Franciscan". There now exist multiple copies of the Wikipedia article on other sites. There's some detail at avalon44.tripod.com about an order being created, then disbanded, then recreated, ("Messages from heaven to the messenger in Mexico / 1969-1979 / Volume I" ), but that is at best a copy of a primary and internal source that could be used for non-controversial facts if there were already other independent sources establishing Wikipedia-notability. It is not an independent source. There is some video I cannot access at avalon44.tripod.com.
I suppose there probably is an order but we don't have usable sources to say anything about them, and it seems unlikely the contributor will provide any soon. So, oddly, it is wp:too soon for Wikipedia to cover the order and the nun; if/when she is canonized (if that what has been pending for decades?) there can be articles. A copy of the current article should be emailed to the contributor (and they or anyone else could request and get a copy anytime, too) and the article can be moved to draft space to allow them to try to develop it with sources ( but a draft will itself be deleted after a period of time...six months I think...if it is not edited. doncram 16:49, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep [This is to be the one "vote" by editor startarrant] (Keep) prior discussion-- exi[s]ts mostly in the "view history" or bg's talk pages somewhere unless my replies from Jan-Feb 2015 were deleted by bg on his talk page ("over a year ago" bwhite suggested that the biographical material about the foundress of the mfPS have its own separate wiki article rather than have that information included in the wiki page on the Order she founded / and its 3 foundations in Mexico (bg also set up a "monitum" on that wiki page in Feb 2015 but no one else over the past year took issue with the page or editor); in reviewing other wiki articles I saw bg was right; bgwhite can be very helpful as he has considerable experience and spends much time with wiki but it takes a saint-load of patience to learn exactly what he is getting at especially with those of us with less wiki editing experience since his mode of operation is to delete first; all-in-all bg's ultimately constructive criticisms have always IMPROVED the content (for universal readership), references and technical functionality of the article(s); but I'm not a pro (like bg) and it is hard when you spend time doing your best to assure accuracy, factual references, first hand eye witness, and so forth -- on a person from another country/language who has only been dead since 1979. Even Mother Teresa herself (and her wiki pages) have had all sorts of problems with edit-warring, ongoing "commentary" vs. fact; so accurate quotes and autobiographical material / diaries, etc are always excellent resource materials to start with. "Show me the text." There are other internet sites on these subjects that exclude factual data, accurate quotes, and autobiographical data preferring "original work", personal interpretation, commentary.
    • Technical, content and resource recommendations are VERY welcome -- I repeat that I may have disagreed initially but every criticism, when I thought it through, has IMPROVED the content -- however, it took me a year to find time to incorporate bgwhite's biography division and immediately bg posts a "delete" and then suggests (above) reincorporating the items bg deleted a year ago from the page on the Order/Foundation suggesting to me at that time that they belonged in a separate wiki page biography article!!! ??? !!!

  • Potential keep -- I would have thought that the founder of a religious order was notable. However this depends on how important the order is. Unfortunately neither this article, nor that on the order give any detail on that. Some orders may be quite ephemeral, dying out (or merging) when the founder retires or dies. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:42, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Keep)[duplicate] notable but small & struggling -- the point of the article is to present accurate information from 1914 to the present. The Order and its members are still under papal review and development. Such matters often take centuries where the Church is concerned. I suppose that if the Church suppresses the Order then wiki can either delete the page (!) or add a note that the Order was either finally approved, left as is, or suppressed a second time.
    • Also, unlike Blessed Mother Teresa (the editor also knew and worked with Bl Mother Teresa) Mother Maria Concepcion is not even a candidate for Canonization at this time (Mother Maria Concepction died in 1979 while Blessed Mother Teresa died in 2005 and may be canonized in 2016. They were born within 4 years of each other).
      • The Church is very slow in cases where (like St Teresa of Avila; St Joan of Arc) the person has "visions" or "locutions" with Christ or other canonized Saints. Bl Mother Teresa kept absolute silence on any such matters which were extremely rare and only revealed by her spiritual directors long after Bl Mother Teresa's death. That was not the case with this Mexican woman who had exceptional supernatural conversations, formation and direction from her childhood. Add to it the Mexican Masonic relationship in her own family during a violent anti-Church political era in Mexico and the Church is still clearly taking the very long view of this notable matter. The point is NOT to have an edit war. Just the facts. Startarrant (talk) 06:01, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why is that relevant? Joan of Arc died in 1431 and was canonised in 1920! It sometimes takes a long time for the RC Church to recognise its saints. And some have, let's say, better publicity machines than others... -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment [Keep] wiki article is objective and references facts while webpages belonging to specific groups avoid certain facts (historic and other).

  • Keep. She founded a religious order. I think that's enough for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp:, the problem with that argument is that she attempted to found a religious order (strictly speaking congregation or institute, not order[16], but it hasn't been established, but merely recognized as what were then called Pious Unions and since 1983 Associations of the faithful. Establishing an actual religious congregation might make one notable, especially if it was of pontifical rite, but establishing an association of the faithful is unlikely to do so. Furthermore, we still have no independent sources for verifiability of the woman or her "order".--Jahaza (talk) 16:35, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This AFD was just relisted. I would grab the opportunity to formally add the order's article to the AFD, but it was not the nominator's original intention to delete it, and it is late and it would be a bit of a bother to update all the notices. However there has been some substantial discussion since some "votes" and now participants could also comment regarding the other article. It may be too late for a consensus to emerge to do anything about the order article, but perhaps some comments will show whether a separate AFD for it is warranted? Anyhow I suggest participants could return and confirm or change their initial vote, plus comment/vote on the order article.

      The book notes:

      Por el contrario, en la vecina diócesis de Tacámbaro, desde principios de la década de los años setenta, comenzó a adquirir renombre un culto popular alrededor de unas supuestas apariciones en el poblado de Puruarán. Al parecer, en el origen del desarrollo de este culto se encuentra mezclada la participación de una antigua religiosa llamada María Concepción Zúñiga o Mary Conzuló. Proveniente de Zamora, donde había tenido una casa de religiosas, en 1964 llegó a Chilapa y pidió formar una pía unión en compañía de otras mujeres. Allí, con el apoyo del obispo local, de reconocida filiación conservadora, comenzó a editar una revista titulada Estrella.[161] Posteriormente, en 1968, abandonaría la diócesis para establecerse con sus "Mínimas Franciscanas del Perpetuo Socorro" en la Villa de Guadalupe. Ya desde 1971 la mencionada revista había llamado la atención de la curia del arzobispado, pues la señorita María Concepción Zúñiga (Mary Conzuló) difundía unos "Mensajes de Jesucristo" que según ella recibía del mismo Jesucristo. El arzobispo primado, cardenal Miguel Darío Miranda, le prohibió publicar la revista y se negó a aceptarla a ella y a su "Obra" en el arzobispado de México.[162] Seguaramente debido a las anteriores presiones, después de algunos años decidió trasladarse a Puruarán. Allí, alrededor de un culto reciente relativo a unas supuestas apariciones de la Virgen en una ermita, Mary Conzuló su posición de manera notable, gracias al apoyo del párroco integrista del lugar, Nabor Cárdenas. Dichas apariciones fueron tempranamente declaradas falsas por el obispo del Tacámbaro, José Abraham Martínez, las que describió como "fruto de mentes que padecen alucinaciones y anhelos de cosas sobrenaturales".[163] Además, el obispo declaró que el principal propagador de este engaño era el párroco del lugar, a quien se le había amonestado en repetidas veces: [quote]

      Here is the translation from Google Translate:

      By contrast, in the neighboring diocese of Tacambaro, since the early seventies, he began to gain kudos as a popular cult around some alleged apparitions in the town of Puruarán. Apparently the origin of the development of this cult is mixed participation of an ancient religious called Maria Concepcion Zuniga or Mary Conzuló. From Zamora, where he had a nunnery in 1964 he reached Chilapa and asked to form a pious union in the company of other women. There, with the support of the local bishop, recognized conservative affiliation, he began editing a magazine called Star . [161] Later in 1968, would leave the diocese to settle down with his "Franciscan Minimum of Perpetual Help" in the Villa de Guadalupe. Since 1971 that magazine had called the attention of the curia of the archbishopric, as Miss Maria Concepcion Zuniga (Mary Conzuló) spread about "Messages of Jesus Christ" which she received from Jesus Christ himself. The archbishop, Cardinal Miguel Dario Miranda, forbade him to publish the magazine and refused to accept her and her "work" in the archbishopric of Mexico. [162] Seguaramente due to the above pressures, after some years decided to move to Puruarán . There, about a recent cult relating to the alleged apparitions of the Virgin in a chapel, Mary Conzuló its position significantly, with the support of fundamentalist parish priest, Nabor Cardenas. Such occurrences were earlier declared are false by the bishop of Tacambaro, José Abraham Martinez, which he described as "fruit of minds suffering from hallucinations and dreams of supernatural things." [163] In addition, the bishop declared that the principal propagator of this deception was the parish priest, who had cautioned him repeatedly:

      The book notes:

      The Paul VI Conspiracy Theory

      Today, a Google search for the words "Paul VI" and "impostor" reveals dozens of websites, many of them created by Baysider groups, which claim that the true Paul VI was regularly drugged by communists, Freemasons, Satanists, or other conspirators and replaced by an impostor created by means of plastic surgery. Some conspiracy theorists support this claim with photographs from different points in Paul VI's career and sonograms comparing the voice of Paul VI with that of the alleged impostor. To skeptics, this evidence is not compelling and the pope simply appears to be aging over time. For believers, the merit of this theory is not really derived from empirical evidence but a network of Marian seers all of whom have received revelations of a papal impostor.

      The original provenance of the theory is unknown and it is impossible to say if it began with a single seer and was borrowed by others, or if multiple seers arrived at this claim independently. The earliest iteration of this theory I have found comes from a Mexican nun named Maria Concepcion Zuniga Lopez. Lopez received messages from heaven that were published and attributed to her pseudonym "Portavoz." On January 21, 1970, Portavoz delivered a message from Jesus announcing, "Paul VI suffers! Do not leave him alone in his prison. Go in search of him, take him to a safe place where he can speak freely." In 1975, Clemente Dominguez Gomez, a seer in Palmar de Troy, Spain, declared that the man claiming to be Paul VI was an impostor and that the true pope was imprisoned. A few months later Lueken outlined a similar conspiracy theory in a locution given before her followers. ...

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow María Concepción Zúñiga López to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Firstly, "Next" is used for the Conservative Party leadership election and it is on the same basis. I would also argue that this is not speculation because of the nature of the leader. Corbyn is someone who is opposed by the majority of his party in Parliament and many of them have publicly made clear that he should not lead. Also, the level of briefings to the press, articles (from people within the Labour Party) and polling make this something akin to a political inevitability as opposed to speculation. --Cindy's Cafe (talk) 14:08, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (as nominator) Please let me see your Crystal ball. As for the Conservative article, that exists because Cameron has said that he is standing down and therefore there are legitimate reasons for having an article, there being plenty of reliable sources that such an event will occur. Stephenb (Talk) 17:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We do not know when Cameron will stand down. These decisions can easily be reversed. Corbyn will be challenged and this is not reliant on speculation but from a number of sources (including members of the shadow cabinet).--Cindy's Cafe (talk) 20:17, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Complete speculation that fails WP:CRYSTAL and largely fails WP:RS.

I think the article is about the nature of the Labour Party. It might be worth mentioning the various interpretation of the rules in regards to a challenge for the leadership of the Labour.

  • Delete for now. WP:CRYSTAL (which has already been mentioned) states: "expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". The Tory election is almost certainly happening as Cameron has announced his intentions. In Labour's case, an election will presumably happen at some point, but the article is about a speculative challenge to Corbyn's leadership and this is, fairly unequivocally, not presently "almost certain to take place". Wait until it's announced. I don't understand the nom's point about "next", though: "next" is a common usage for articles about upcoming elections.Nizolan (talk) 02:16, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? An election will almost certainly happen in future (unless you think Corbyn will stay as Labour leader forever). Cameron has announced his intention to step down, though events may change (for eg. Blair's resignation). This is exactly the same because Labour moderates have made clear their intention to challenge Corbyn before the next general election and that would trigger an election. It would also be a notable event. So therefore this page should be safe from deletion. --Cindy's Cafe (talk) 16:57, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, an election will happen in the future; no, the election described in this article is not almost certain to happen in the future. —Nizolan (talk) 20:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You've just contradicted yourself. You can't say an election will happen in the future and an election may not happen in the future. Either way, there is an article about the next Tory leadership election because Cameron has signalled intent to resign. There should be an article about the next Labour leadership election because Labour MPs have signalled intent to challenge Corbyn and it is a very big issue in current politics.--Cindy's Cafe (talk) 12:59, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think what @Nizolan: probably meant was that the scenario described in this article is not certain. Yes, at some point Corbyn will cease to lead the Labour Party, thus triggering a leadership election, but that won't necessarily be because of a challenge to his leadership. He may go on to fight the next election, lose and fall on his sword, so to speak. Or Labour may fare badly in the polls before then, requiring him to feel he should resign. We don't know the future and we shouldn't speculate with articles like this. This is Paul (talk) 19:11, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, exactly. And in any case, the assertion that "Labour MPs have signalled intent to challenge Corbyn" is flatly false. The article cites two sources to claim that people have signalled such an intention and neither one actually demonstrates this ([17], [18]; note as well that the second article is from October last year and currently Simon Danczuk is not even a Labour member!). —Nizolan (talk) 20:16, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, I just wasn't aware of that. I was just thinking that, in paper encyclopaedias at least, "Next" wouldn't occur in the title of any article, since people might be reading it after the event occurred. You probably wouldn't get it on here, either, for other things like "Next US President" or "Next Start Trek Film" or whatever - usually there's some defining qualifier that makes the title less 'present'. I guess politics might be an exception..? Anyway, seemed uncommon to me! Stephenb (Talk) 10:14, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cogora[edit]

Cogora (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A largely promotional article without evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guideline. Some of the "references" don't even mention Cogora, & those that do either only briefly mention it or are not independent sources, or both. The article was tagged for the need for sources to establish notability shortly after it was created in 2013, but the situation is no better now. Also, the creation and the substantial majority of the editing have been from single purpose editors with clear signs of conflict of interest, and despite efforts to reduce promotional content, it has persisted in being largely promotional in character.

A PROD was removed with an edit summary which said "significant coverage in cited sources. need to also search under former name 'Campden Health'". I have checked every one of the cited sources, and yes I did look for "Campden Health" as well as "Cogora". Those sources are as follows*

  • Six pages not mentioning either "Cogora", "Campden Health", or any other form of the name of the company. They may or may not be useful citations for related facts mentioned in the article, but they are certainly not evidence of notability of Cogora.
  • An article which is not about Cogora/Campden Health, but which makes a few quotes from various people, including a one-sentence mention of a view expressed by unnamed employees of Campden Health.
  • Three pages on Cogora's own web sites 2 (www.cogora.com, www.managementinpractice.com, and www.pulsetoday.co.uk - the last one being a dead link).
  • An advertising video for a Cogora publication, posted on YouTube.
  • A clearly promotional page on the website of www.createmarketing.co.uk, about a campaign in a magazine published by Cogora. The name "createmarketing" pretty well says it all, but to make sure I checked the site's own information about itself. Sure enough, it clearly states that its purpose is to provide its "clients" with "brand development, global asset creation, campaign development, content creation, web building and online communications".
  • Three pages on the website of the Professional Publishers' Association. That is clearly not an independent source, as it exists to promote the interests of its members, but in any case the only mentions of Cogora on two of the pages are inclusions of the company's name in lists of awards the association gives to its members, in one case with a photograph of Cogora employees, and the third page is just a medium for a person described as Cogora's "Manging (sic) Director" to publicise his views. Similarly, a page on the web site of the British Society of Magazine Editors, which merely includes the name of two Cogora employees in a list.
  • A dead link, which in any case appears to have merely been an announcement that the company was changing its name.
  • Two press releases on www.prnewswire.co.uk, merely announcing in one case the change of the company's name, and in the other a business deal, together with marketing copy such as the statemnt that the company "has produced inspirational and incisive multi-channel content".
  • A press release on www.prweek.com announcing a personnel appointment at Cogora.
  • An announcement on the web site of a company which owned Cogora that it was selling Cogora.
  • A brief report on the fact that Cogora was buying a magazine.
  • A personal video made by a nurse and uploaded to YouTube.

I don't see how that can reasonably be regarded that as substantial coverage, and certainly not as substantial coverage in independent sources. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:17, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The author has apparently read the phrase 'a critical documentary' (about a documentary film that was critical of Wal-Mart) and interpreted it as an established phrase.

  • Delete When my PROD was removed, the excuse was that there were references to be found in Google books, but doing a search there finds largely "crtical" just being used as an adjective describing a documentary, not a separate genre. The Concise Routledge Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film has the phrase but once, Creative Documentary: Theory and Practice has it twice... and these are books that show up high on the search results, and would seem the very thing to cover the topic should it be a real genre. Even if it were a genre, this essay is largely word salad, and would have to be nuked down to being nothing more than a definition. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:03, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article was speedied in 2014 and recreated yesterday with the entirety of its content copy/pasted from the two primary sources it cited.

Agilefant (Software) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I think it's early enough that this is ok, but I'll ping DESiegel, the only user who has weighed in up to this point. I hadn't noticed this separate page. My search for sources didn't find notability for "Agilefant" whether the company or the software. The (software) article, like the company article, is cobbled together bits of copy/pasted or very closely paraphrased sources (i.e. more copyright violations) in addition to failing WP:PRODUCT. I suppose I should modify my original reference to WP:PRODUCT above to point to WP:CORPDEPTH (same page, different section). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Author of some SW products. Notability at the edge Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The software in question, namely SLF4J, is the most widely used software library in the java eco-system, which is one of the largest among computer languages.[1]. Log4j, also by Gülcü, is the 3rd most widely-used software library in Java. Thus, Gülcü authored not one but two of the top-ten most used software in the Java eco-system.

Moreover, Babel the anonymous email system, invented by Gülcü, paved the way for Tor, a valuable anonymous communications tool available to the general public.

The references that this article includes don't appear to lack independence from the subject. Subject does not appear to have attracted the attention of multiple independent reliable sources in Serbian or any other language.

  • Speedy keep. I'm not sure where your "does not appear to have attracted the attention" statement comes from, when the references are full of reports of his exhibitions, and external links contain a number of media appearances. And it does not take much effort to find several [19] [20] [21]. As the arcicle states, he's the chairman of Sculptor Commitee of ULUPUDS [22], and that fact alone is enough earns him an article.

No such user: I am very interested in being told which of the six criteria for a "WP:speedy keep" you think this discussion qualifies the article for. My concern, however, is that you have not read over those criteria and have no understanding what a vote of "speedy keep" means. That aside, I have again gone over the references given in this article: what I keep finding is that the coverage either lack independence from the subject or includes only trivial mentions of the subject and his work— having his name appear in a list is not enough to qualify him as notable. We need evidence of him having been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, and so far (and still) this article does not have these (if you feel differently, please itemize a few and show that they provide non-trivial coverage and that the sources are genuinely WP:independent of the subject and are WP:reliable, yes?). In the mean time, I'd like to suggest you turn your "speedy keep" vote into a regular "keep". Thanks! (also, quickly: articles are not "earned", they are "qualified for"— this isn't a competition!). KDS4444Talk 13:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather that you, User:KDS4444, do the homework, follow WP:BEFORE, go through the list of 12 references and 13 external links currently in the article, and filter out which ones are NOT evidence of him being the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources, which include several media outlets, including Blic, RTV Studio B, Alo!, Moja TV and Prva Srpska Televizija (most YouTube links are of official channels of TVs). No such user (talk) 14:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ref #1: this appears to be a self-written paragraph, not a news article or other popular coverage of the subject. Ref #2: Is a mention of his name in relation to a competition he judged— it describes the criteria for the submission of works, and other than indicating that the subject is going to judge it, it says nothing at all about him. Ref. #3: looks like it is an autobiography by the subject, failing WP:I. Ref #4 was a blog, apparently (according to its remaining title) written by the subject— the article itself is gone. Ref. #5 looks like it an announcement for an art salon at which the subject will be appearing— it says nothing at all about him. Ref #6 is a youtube clip, and while I grant you that it appears to be from a television channel, my experience has been that youtube references aren't usually worth much for establishing a claim of notability because of problems with reliability and independence (also: WP:YOUTUBE indicates that copyrighted material should not be linked to at all, and this clip is marked as copyright protected). Tell you what, there's the first six of the twenty three justifications you asked for (usually the burden of proof falls on the person making the claim of notability, not the one questioning it, but I am trying to be more than fair here). Is there a reference beyond the sixth that you think makes the case for him? Which one(s) and how? KDS4444Talk 16:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I gave you four just in my first comment here, along with a strong ground for notability (president of a sculptor section of a national artist society is not a random Joe). There are few in the article already, just need some more analysis. I grant that the article reads like a resume, and is probably written by someone close to the author (how else could somebody got a gallery of sculptures?) But frankly, I'm not too interested to improve it, just stating that it is improvable, and that we're wasting our collective time here on debating deletion rather than cleaning it up.

  • Merge or redirect to Bassem Eid, with no objections to the article being kept if further information and reliable sources are provided during this AfD. I am slightly surprised at the nominator's claim that the organisation is "apparently no longer active", as the GNews feed gives a substantial number of hits from within the last month. Almost all of these, however, relate more to the group's founder, Bassem Eid, and so do not give grounds for notability independent of him. Having said that, GNews also provides a scattering of hits from the past fifteen years (most recently about six months ago) that do not mention Eid, and a GBooks search provides a large number of hits, though a large proportion of these are short mentions - so a determined enough editor may be able to find sufficient more substantive sources to justify a standalone article.

It was covered by all the usual suspects The Guardian, Financial Times, and the rest of the big intl dailies. All I had to do was run a proquest search.

Renominating as last nomination did not get any independent views. Aside from the on-going and long-standing COI issues this article has had (and a number of related ones that have since been deleted), there is nothing this person has done of notability, but a number of sub-GNG projects, the sum of which do not IMO exceed the GNG threshold. For example, the crowning glory of their music career was to reach the top 28 in one year's X Factor, which is considerably below what would qualify someone for an article.

  • Keep. WP:GNG states that, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Furthermore, it states that significant coverage means it "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material." The subject clearly meets this threshold based on the articles cited and many others available. It doesn't matter if "there is nothing this person has done of notability" (which may or may not be true) so long as she has received significant coverage. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 00:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like there's some subjectivity in applying some of the terms so I would like to clarify why I think this subject falls considerably short of general notability. She was supposedly a well-known model. There isn't a single reference for this. She was supposedly an actress with a number of roles. Zero entries on imdb here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7789512 The pop career peaked with reaching the final 28 of a pop reality show (and being much derided in the process). There are winners of the Apprentice (who have received significant coverage) who still don't have their own profile page. The only coverage there has been has been very low-level articles in publications like the Sun and Daily Mail about beauty tips, being the wife of someone obscenely rich, and for her use and defence of skin-whitening products. There's absolutely nothing to these articles, it's just someone who has an agent and agrees to speak to the newspapers on certain topics. In the same sense, you could say Noelie Goforth, who appeared on one of the same shows and on Wife Swap, and in the same accompanying article, and has 'significant coverage' elsewhere (Telegraph) for suing Gordon Ramsey for serving her cling film. Technically this is significant coverage from an independent reliable source, but it's not noteworthy. Similarly, Wayne Lineker (as an example from the top of my head) has been featured in many major newspapers at various times for various things and was even a guest star on TOWIE, but again the sum of all these tiny things (legal troubles, famous brother, etc) are not enough to warrant an article, hence no article. Many reality stars get bikini snaps pasted all over the Daily Mail and don't have their own page (as an example, Lydia Bright has 2,792 results on the Daily Mail search page, but doesn't have an article, because the articles are of such insignificance that they do not justify a wiki profile page. How can one person have 2,792 articles on one publication and not be considered significant coverage whereas this person has 7 articles from national press and a couple from local and pass notability/GNG?). So merely being mentioned in the news (especially when it's volunteering yourself for a puff-piece) does not to me come anywhere near meeting the criteria for 'significant coverage.' I really cannot see how this subject gets anywhere near to meeting any of the general specifications, and absolutely fails at any of the specific ones, which considering they're portrayed as a superstar philanthropist, model, actor, singer, presenter etc, you'd think they'd absolutely nail.

  • Delete as none of this is actually solid enough for WP:ENTERTAINER. SwisterTwister talk 06:38, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Failing WP:ENTERTAINER isn't a reason for deletion per se. If the subject meets WP:GNG, or any other set of guidelines for inclusion, then it should be kept. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 12:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It makes me sad that a user is again pushing the Irene Major page for possible deletion. Irene Major is an entertainment personality that I follow on social media, TV and in press. She is insightful on fashion, deals with difficult issues in TV interviews and also has fun songs and blogs. Also, she is an African female and it is good to see her on Wikipedia. I hope that in time there will be more and more articles on inspiring and impactful contemporary black women on Wikipedia not less. --LucyP007 (talk) 12:58, 03 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Her gender and race have absolutely nothing to do with anything, and it's quite offensive to insinuate any link or to even raise this issue. Personal feelings about someone you admire are irrelevant in judging notability, as are insights into fashion and fun songs. Rayman60 (talk) 17:38, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Hey, this isn't comparable to, say, a "List of train wrecks in Rhode Island". Uttar Pradesh is bigger than, well, ANY OTHER SUBDIVISION OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, apparently. And it probably depends far more on train travel and freight than do countries of its size (such as the United States, it is almost as big population-wise as the United States!). Compare this one's 9 collisions and derailments since 2010 to what's in List of rail accidents in New Zealand. That covers, in more detail for each one, 11 incidents since year 2000, but including "10 July 2010, Wellington – Morning passenger services suspended after two trains bring down overhead lines." No disrespecting the importance of a delay of commuters in a country of 4.5 million, but I suspect the number of person-years lost in train delays in U.P. each year are greater than all the person-years awake or asleep in Wellington, yet the U.P. doesn't list mere delays yet. And no disrespecting the 10.5 million pop. corresponding to List of Czech rail accidents, with its 2 accidents listed that killed 4 since 2010, but incidents like 69 killed in U.P. seem more important. How about merging those others into List of rail accidents in the southern hemisphere and List of rail accidents in Europe respectively? :( It is entirely reasonable to have a separate list for each and every Indian state, methinks; the India-wide list covers accidents of faint interest to persons living "hundreds of millions of persons away" (using an odd distance-measure, but my point is U.P. readers probably like a more relevant "local" list. This list has different info than the India-wide list, but I think it would even be fine to have different cuts of exactly the same info. --doncram 03:36, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Who's Who does not confer notability on a any "civil servant doing their job" but partly recognises the importance of that job. Also major universities don't give awards like honorary degrees to any "civil servant doing their job". Graemp (talk) 07:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not we accept whether Who's Who is a good source or not, there's still the problem of What exactly did Sarah Cox do? Right now, it reads Sarah Cox is a civil servant.

  • Keep/Move to clearer title the content of this article seems well written, and not from a particular POV. However, I'm not sure that it is at the right title; I think that "Time as an illusion" is a better fit. It needs a lede that explains what 'Time as an illusion" actually means, and to tie the article together, but deleting it seems a waste of good material, and a quick google search indicates that there is plenty of material here in terms of differing evidence and famous support and opposition to the idea, which can easily support an article [27] Please WP:DONOTDEMOLISH. InsertCleverPhraseHere 04:34, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively, it could be moved to Draft space until ready for article status, as, at the moment, it currently overlaps quite a bit with other articles. InsertCleverPhraseHere 04:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have changed my mind, after a more thorough reading I came to the conclusion that although a topic could conceivably (and even easily) exist under the title "Time as an illusion", this article is not that article. It is written in a WP:TONE that is inconsistent with wikipedia, and likely cannot be salvaged from its current state. So while I recommend that an article be written about the subject, and while I appreciate RADDB's efforts to improve the article per my suggestions, I think that this current article should be deleted. I would suggest to RADDB to edit elsewhere on wikipedia, and to thoroughly examine other featured articles in order to better understand the concept of encyclopaedic formal tone before having another crack at the topic. The OP is correct, the tone of this article reads much too much like an 'essay'. InsertCleverPhraseHere 05:38, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These lists of characters are not independently notable from their main series, as shown through their available secondary sources. Alone, they lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) They could be deleted or redirected as they are all adequately covered in their parent articles' characters sections (which are all GA-rated). Some of the character lists have been tagged for cleanup for eight years. I consider these painfully straightforward redirect/merge cases, but they can also be deleted. czar 01:46, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect or merge Notability isn't inherited, too many character articles believe that to be the case. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 02:00, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I'd argue that WP:NOTINHERITED does not apply here as these are not independent subjects, but subarticles split off from their parents to avoid the visual novel pages from becoming too large. Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 10:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Compromise for Keep The character article Ayu Tsukimiya is incredibly well sourced and it's even a GA. I'm sure the character lists could easily be given their own reception sections. If so, then I'll say Keep alone. If it is not possible then Merge it.Tintor2 (talk) 02:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speak for yourself the effort hasn't been made. I did due diligence, now you AGF and do yours. That citation is about the episode, not the characters.

In that source the reviewer references Kyousuke as being a "nasty" character towards the end of the series, this would count as plot information from a notable outside opinion. Im not trying to put you down here I just wish you could discuss first is all. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment These seem to be part of an aggressive redirecting process of character articles by the nominator. I make no comment on their motives or faith but I feel they are being rather too literal with the guidelines here. Character articles have long been considered acceptable if they are of the ensemble "cast", chances are any reviews of the material will discuss the characters so notability arguments are not as straightforward as suggested. The process should be to discuss if WP:BOLD is objected to, not to take them straight to AFD as this may have further repercussions on hundreds of articles. I'm not happy with the bundling of these articles together, they should be considered on their own merits as i'm willing to bet that some of them are easier to source than others. Ultimately I feel that the discussion over what qualifies a character list as a worthwhile article should be taking place at WP:Anime (and possibly at other wiki projects) and not through the bold mass redirecting or AFD of normally accepted lists articles. Attempt to set a consensus through constructive discussion rather than take it straight to AFD at the first objection. Also, AFD isn't clean up , which is just as much part of the arguement as the debate over notability. SephyTheThird (talk) 02:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is a Wikipedia-wide discussion. It isn't for the Anime project alone to determine that character lists without significant coverage apart from the series get a pass on the general notability guideline. I'm happy to de-bundle any of these lists if they're seen as significantly different from the rest, but as of now, I don't see how any would be. czar 02:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you check the archives I know we have had this song and dance at least once before. Yes consensus can change but I would first check what arguments were raised on past discussions, and how you believe things have changed since then. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is part of an effort by WP:VG, but that effort is based around the fact that most of these character list articles are poorly sourced and violating WP:INU in a way that they're so heavily focused on plot summary type info that there's little left once it's removed. I'm not part of these efforts, but most of the time when I'm look into the related nominations, they're warranted, so I wouldn't let these "efforts" confuse the issue - there's serious notability issues here. Sergecross73 msg me 02:54, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Sergecross73: I am fine with providing sources but I agree with Sephy on how this was bundled. Each one of these articles are a separate entity. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:03, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's fair too, and probably the only way forward for the people in favor of deletion, judging by the comments so far... Sergecross73 msg me 03:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Let's just be clear, these character lists (and others like them) are simply poorly sourced. Even for something like List of Clannad characters which has 30 or so of characters could be cleaned up and well sourced if reviews that discuss these characters were gleamed for such information. Clannad was made into 2 anime series, an anime film, and the original game was just recently released in English by Sekai Project, so there's no way that enough sourced material could not be collected in order to improve that article, even if you had to remove 90% of the plot bloat. That would still leave voice actors, cursory character descriptions, and any reception to those characters that could all be sourced if someone put in the work. And all of that, I believe, could easily be applied to all of the other articles on this AFD because all of them have anime adaptations which will always have reviews that discuss character interactions and reception based on those characters. If these articles are guilty of anything, it's plotbloat, but as the saying goes, you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater when there is at least some relevant, notability-establishing content that could be added if someone made the effort. Need I remind that Wikipedia does not have a deadline?-- 03:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Looking at them, I don't think we need plots for every branch of every game/adaptation. The Little Busters page is especially guilty of this, IMO. --Wirbelwind(ヴィルヴェルヴィント) 06:00, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It would take me at least a week but I could add a reception section for Little Busters. As I mentioned before I know they talk about character artwork/conception in reviews that can be found both online, and in magazines. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:08, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anything that isn't in-universe information would be beneficial as it does add up. When you have different reviewers all commenting on the characters then the coverage expands. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:43, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Though if the locus of coverage remains at the series or unit level, our coverage should remain at that level too. It's a principle of proportionality. We'd need significant coverage dedicated to the characters to justify a split—otherwise it should fit within its parent. czar 15:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not all of the sources are brief mentions though, it depends on the series. I have come across sources that go into interviews with the character voice actor/actresses involved. Of course "significant coverage" is all in the beholder, I don't think there is a definition here on Wikipedia what counts as enough. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per TheFarix and Juhachi - I'd personally argue that fictional character lists are subarticles split off from their parents to avoid the video novel pages from becoming too cluttered; thus, they aren't stand-alone articles in the strictest sense and WP:NOTINHERITED doesn't apply. Instead, their notability is tied to the notability of the visual novels themselves. (I will admit this opinion isn't based the strongest on policy, though there are numerous examples of previous such articles being kept to set precedent, hence the 'weak' part of my !vote). Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 10:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Mass nomination of so many articles is disruptive and doesn't give any of them a fair chance. AFD is not for deciding policy, and the policy has long been to allow spinoff articles for those that get too large. Opencooper (talk) 13:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • With all these keeps, I'd be very interested in the sources voters are using to substantiate their positions. czar 15:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it'd be better if this nomination gets "snow kept without prejudice towards re-nomination" and then you try nominating one or two of the worst offenders separately. Right now, everyone's commenting more in regards to "lets not set a precedent to support a mass redirect". If nominated separately, I think people would give a more detailed look at the merits of the individual lists, whether it be !voting to delete, or digging up some better sourcing for a stronger "keep" !vote. Sergecross73 msg me 16:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the only way forward, though I hope it won't be similarly brigaded. Withdrawn—requesting closure per Serge's comment above. czar 22:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. List of characters articles are spun out when the number of characters become too unwieldy for the main article to handle, and also when they cover multiple titles of a franchise that has multiple Wikipedia articles. Just as with List of (manga/anime) volumes and List of (manga/anime) episodes. However, each of these titles should be reviewed and aggressively filtered to list only major and important characters, especially for video game franchises on who is playable and who are the main villains. If after cleanup the list is small enough to merge, then merge it back. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 17:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Having an inclusive list in Disappearing gun would be too long. In fact it would be better to move most of the entries in the "Significant installations" section to the list. Toddst1 (talk) 14:42, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nahh, the important ones should be in the main article. This thing seems to have been intended as an inclusive list of DC installations; it would, if completed, have perhaps thousands of entries. Anmccaff (talk) 17:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It's clearly fine to split out a list of notable examples of the type, rather than requiring it to be in the main article about the type. Note that wp:CLN applies: if there is a category it is almost always okay or good to have a list (to provide references, to include redlinks, etc.). Note that Category:Disappearing guns exists and is a tad ambiguous, including mostly different gun models that could be mounted in disappearing fashion; shouldn't there be Category:Disappearing gun installations (currently a redlink)? Also, an "installation" at sea was aboard Russian battleship Ekaterina II, which I think is a valid entry so I added it to the list. --doncram 01:26, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Toddst1 above: this is a viable topic for an article, and would work better as a separate article than as part of the main article given it's a fair size. Nick-D (talk) 08:03, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FkpCascais: Given the recent change in FPL-status of the Serbian First League, I'd like your take on this article. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:22, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Serbian First League became fully-pro this season. Aleksa Vidić plays in one of league's strongest clubs, FK Sloboda Užice. He became senior when Sloboda was still in the Serbian SuperLiga, but he made no league appearance that season and Sloboda was relegated. By now all he has are appearances in the Serbian First League and Sloboda doesn't look like geting promotion this season, so the prospect is him staying at second level another season. Technically, since SFL is fully-professional, and Aleks Vidić has appearances in the two seasons he is playing there, he passes notability, however if there is any agreement to delete players who pass notability only because of second level appearances, then deleting it would be fine.

I don't believe Circuit judges in England and Wales are de facto notable individuals. There are over 600 of these and they rank below high court judges. The only argument for keeping in my view is not positions held or rank as a judge, but that he was quoted by MailOnline, but many people feature in The Mail and we don't keep articles on all of them.

  • Delete. I agree that this seems to be made up. At the very least, it's a neologism that hasn't caught on yet. Searching Advertising Age and other marketing/advertising magazines turns up no relevant hits. A Google Books search turns up what looks like unrelated trivial mentions. Advertising to children certainly happens, but I don't think anyone calls it this. This source, which is cited in the article, does not contain the word "kidification" according to Google Books.
