PLEASE NOTE This article is linked on the Franklin Clinton (Grand Theft Auto V) page. If you click on that article's link that says "articles for deletion" it comes to the Michael De Santa (Grand Theft Auto V) articles for deletion page, both articles go to the same article for deletion page, there isn't a separate one for the Franklin Clinton article, not a big, just letting everyone know.

@Neptune's Trident: Both articles have been proposed for deletion, but due to similarity they are included in the same nomination, per WP:MULTIAFD. This has also been stated above. – Rhain 06:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Nothing comes up by searching through the above "Find Sources". A search of Questia shows the authors listed at the bottom of the article have actually written about sexuality, transgender issues, etc. I'm not sure about the specific titles listed next to their names.

  • Keep I fail to see what the "conflict of interest" is. Our standard policies should avert any serious problems with any single poll receiving WP:UNDUE coverage (I have just cut back some of the Sight & Sound stuff that was swamping the article). The article surveys an overwhelming number of different polls utilising many different methodologies, so the debate regarding which films are the greatest has been engaged in at every level (critics, the industry itself, audiences etc) and thus satisfying notability without any shadow of a doubt. While not particularly pretty in some ways I think this article represents Wikipedia at its best i.e. bringing together a huge amount of information and making it digestible for layman readers.

  • Keep per WP:SNOWBALL consensus last time. Nominating editor Zppix fails to challenge why this compelling consensus should be overturned. Article meets WP:YESPOV readily by describing significant opinions and providing in-text attribution. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 22:05, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There's no reason that I can see to second guess the rather snowy keep from 2012. "A Major COI issue waiting to happen." just doesn't seem to me to be a persuasive rationale. The list is thoroughly referenced, to critics' polls, festivals, review sites and the like. If a "COI" editor from wherever wants to claim that his - or his client's film - is, like, the best ever.... he's going to need a reference or it won't survive, surely. Any spam that makes its way into the article can and should be dealt with at the editing stage, not at Afd. (Looking at Canada, as an example, the section's five titles are either pretty standard or in the case of Wavelength, the outlier, explained and referenced).

  • Keep Invalid deletion nomination aside, this article is in really good shape, with lots of third-party refs showing why those films are so highly rated. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 07:46, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Not sure of what the rationale for the nomination is. Although I agree the title of the article is atrocious. Something along the lines of "List of highly rated films" would seem more appropriate. Onel5969 TT me 12:14, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So you'd rather delete it than raise a WP:RM to change the title? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That was my question, too. If you're "Not sure of what the rationale for the nomination is" and you're proposing an alternate title for the list, why then are you !voting to delete? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:54, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: The rationale was because its a majorily implied COI POV title. Rename could be an option but the problem is that the article would probably need to be rewritten due to possible COI POV issues. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 13:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So the article -- or list -- would need to be "rewritten" due to possible POV issues? That is to say, POV issues yet to come? Also WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Even swapping the acronym COI for POV, you still haven't managed to come up with a coherent deletion rationale, from what I can see. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The page reports what various reliable sources have concluded to be the best films made. Likewise, if POV/COI issues appear, they can be dealt with in the article, but that's no reason for pre-emptive deletion. /wiae /tlk 17:00, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Autobiography :( Unfortunately the main editor on the article is User:Roryridleyduff. That shouldn't be a considered for AfD, but it's hard to ignore, especially since he has been notified regarding wp:Autobiography and wp:COI (but does not seem to have responded). The article is overly long and promotional in places. His works range from a book that is cited >600 times ("Reader in Co-operative and Social Enterprise" - which seems to be a textbook) to self-published novels ("Publisher: R J Ridley-Duff (November 7, 2014)"). He does not hold a notable academic position. He might be judged as an author, but except for that one book he hasn't done anything very notable in that area. I !vote Delete, and think it's time to open a COI investigation to attempt to prevent further promotional writing. LaMona (talk) 01:44, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Article claims published music. Checking reference to New Horizons Music yields [1] yields "Welcome to the web-site of New Horizons Music, a partnership created by Rory Ridley-Duff and Stephen Anscombe to promote the music of Protos and its band members."

Checking "Libertary Editions" as publisher. [2] This is a self-publishing platform. So is "CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform". So is Scribd. He did publish a textbook through Sage, but it's currently unavailable, according to their site. So, fails WP:AUTHOR. No references with any depth from reliable sources.

I'm bringing this here despite the fact that it has been speedy-deleted 6 times (under this title and under the title Hafiz Khan (actor)). Nevertheless, there is now a list of references.

Non-notable film, no secondary reliable coverage, per WP:NF BOVINEBOY2008 02:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Portugal-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:34, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tentative delete. Part of the problem may be that this article is mis-named. Possibly this article was translated to English from this article on the Portuguese Wikipedia. The film is actually called "Derivas". Even so, I am unable to find reliable source coverage in either language, or either title. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I consider that the article is not misnamed. The Portuguese original title is in fact Derivas, whose literal English translation is Drifts, and Dérives the French one.
The article was first created on 4 November 2012 in Portuguese, translated into French on 21 June 2013 and in English on 13 February 2016‎. The original title might prevail in any other language. It may be followed by its translation between parenthesis or figure as a translated title followed by its original one, between parenthesis as well, without affecting the sense of the film narration.
The point here is the concept of Dérive, the theme of the film, a French word imported into English. This word has Roman etymology: deriva (noun) derivare (verb), that means to relocate, to move from one place to another. As a verb, it must be translated by “to drift” in English, “derivar” in Portuguese, “dériver” in French. As a noun, it must respectively be translated in singular as “drift”, “deriva”, “dérive” and in plural as “drifts”, “derivas”, “dérives”. In the film several characters practice different sorts of drifting. Restraining what this represents in novelty and originality into the Portuguese word Deriva(s), crucial significance would be lost. A distinctive attribute of this film would be lost as well: a certain pre-eminence as experimental film. Ambiguity is another important factor in this story. References giving basement to these reasons appear to be enough in the article at its present state.
~Tertulius (talk):03:33, 03 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, that actually isn't the point. This is a deletion discussion. Therefore, the point is: can significant coverage of this film be found in reliable sources? Sources covering the film under either name would suffice.
The article name would be the subject of WP:RM discussion if this is kept. Basically, if the film was released in English-speaking countries, then the name of the article should be the name used for the English release — and that name is as likely to be Derivas as Drifts. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Northamerica1000,
I made up my mind and decided it would be reasonable to put an end to an un-existent dispute about this article caused by an unpredictable takeoff of user Bovineboy once again. I’m not sure that if doing so I’m violating any particular WiKipedia rule or principle. I´m nevertheless sure that doing so would be the only choice I had. Please feel free to correct my decision if you think it is wrong. I’ll soon remove the AfD message for deletion. I’ll be waiting for your advice in the meantime.
My best,

Despite several patents granted to the inventor of this technology, no articles about it have appeared in any peer-reviewed technical journals and, to date, no saleable products have been produced based on this technology. My own belief is that the technology is not feasible (see the "Dubious" section of the talk page), but it would be WP:OR to disprove the technology (again, since no peer review has yet occurred for this technology). However, the lack of any reliable sources argues that Wikipedia should not have an article on the topic. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:03, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Without pronouncing on the merits of the technology, that article is insufficiently sourced (cutting out the homegrown stuff, it comes down to two newspaper puff pieces) and overly promotional (how often is Gerdes' name mentioned?).-- Elmidae (talk) 12:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I would encourage keeping the stub because examiners at the USPTO have determined that the technology is within the real of possibility Chapter 2100. Scroll down to: 2143.02 "Reasonable Expectation of Success Is Required [R-08.2012]" for more detail. In addition, the subject is non-trivial. Specific reasons for skepticism about the technology could be added to the entry. The question of whether the technology will work is still unsettled by either the company or technology skeptics. Gerdes is mentioned frequently because he is the inventor and so far represents most of the verifiable public sources about the subject. That is an editing issue that can be corrected. CosmicEngineMan (talk) 14:34, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment As I have mentioned at User talk:CosmicEngineMan, patent examiners are not generally experts in the fields of the patents they examine, and for them, the "realm of possibility" is pretty wide. Many patents have been granted for inventions that could not actually work, and no requirement exists for the invention to actually work to be granted a patent. Since Wikipedia requires reliable sources (and for technology issues such as this, those sources would generally entail technical journals), and since no such sources exist for this technology, it seems that we should delete this article.

With bishops you're possibly in a situation in which there are almost certainly sources, but they may be difficult to access or in a foreign language.

While the subject of this article may meet notability guidelines (and I only say "may" as the previous versions of the article read mainly like a CV dump), the major contributor to this article, User:Timjm, has deleted the article's content twice, stating that the subject of the article "asked for a majority of the material to be removed" and, upon reverting that mass-blanking, "Dr. Yarmush asked for only the first sentence to remain. Please do not undue [sic] my changes".

  • keep The subject does appear to be notable, and justified in having an article. WP:PROF appears to be met by number of published papers Though there is a content dispute. The subject of the article though should not determine the content. What is in there should be determined by what the references say. The style of the writing at maximum size has some puffery and peacock terms, so I can see that could lead to embarrassment. Can Timjm please disclose if they have a WP:COI on this topic? If they work for Martin Yarmush then this may explain the content addition and removal. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:37, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Yarmush,

I don't know if you are aware that there is a discussion taking place about whether the Wikipedia article about you should be deleted. Is your objection to the existence of an article in any form, or to the specific form that the article took before it was cut back to one sentence?

In India, speculative fiction is new compared to mythology. The magazine has been active since November 2015, and has over 100 followers on Twitter and Facebook. Compare this to AfroSF project--SF from Africa--which has two book volumes out in the last two years (I think), but only 200 followers.

The first "issue" came out in February, but the magazine has been active for many months now. That's why it was "noted" by Strange Horizons, a leading SF magazine. When there are hardy any platform for SF in the region, this is already significant. It has been talked about by Hugo-winning authors (Ken Liu) and editors (Jason Heller) and Bram Stoker-winning authors for the last few months. (See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Mithila Review has a critical and serious SF community on Facebook with almost all major SF writers and scholars from the region, including Usman T. Malik, Indrapramit Das, Anil Menon, Mimi Mondal, etc. The group was started in December.

This is the first time a science fiction story set in Nepal was published for free, and it has generated an impact. Major writers and editors in Nepal (Rabi Thapa, Kanak Mani Dixit) have spoken about it on their social media platforms. (See 1, 2) With nearly 5000 website views and over 10,000 social media impressions in the first week, if this not a significant coverage for a niche project from South Asia, then what is? Even if there are no future "volumes", the effort has already paid off and should be noted and has been noted by SF community.

I hope Wikipedia community will consider the niche audience, the absence of SF culture in the region, and redefine the "impact" parameters for such a project before taking a decision. I encourage other members to introduce pages on Indian SF, or South Asian SF (I'm planning to write in a few months). My belief is that people need to know about these kind of initiatives. What better place to start to know other than Wikipedia? Even the about page of Mithila Review links to Wikipedia because the goal is to help people learn and discover speculative fiction and poetry. Even a prominent writer such as Indrapramit Das didn't have a page, and I created it with links to his works so that people could just go and read them. But it was deleted. I used to work in advertising, but haven't felt the need to promote anyone on Wikipedia that I didn't think deserve writing about. I would have appreciated if the editor had removed the links--if it was violating our guidelines--or in some way improved the page, but simply deleting the page was a huge setback.

I'm new here. You're the best judge. I will accept your decision, and look forward to contributing to a field of literature that I am passionate abut. It would be easier if we had someone who know the context to make the final decision. Salikshah (talk) 03:48, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nordosm: Here is an excellent english language source on this articles topic from the University of British Columbia that I used to include information about him in the article and says:

Although never used in Germany, Karl-Hermann Geib in Leuna in 1943 developed what we now regard as the most cost-effective process for producing heavy water: the dual temperature exchange sulphide process (see appendix and fig. 10). Contemporaneously, the process was also developed by J. S. Spevack at Columbia University[37], and his process became the basis of the post-war North American plants under the name of the Girdler Process, named after the company which first exploited it. North American scientists were not aware of Geib’s work for many years after the war; Maloney et al. in their book “The Production of Heavy Water” (1955)[38] complain that relevant German wartime work was still classified.

Unfortunately Geib was not able to benefit from his work; in 1945 he was taken to the USSR, along with many others, who were given a 10-year contract to work on fission and aerodynamics. Many German scientists found this very congenial and some even went as far as to describe these 10 years as the time of their lives. However, Geib was not so happy and he made the mistake of applying for asylum in Canada, giving the name of Professor E. W. R. Steacie as a reference. Officials at the Canadian Embassy in Moscow did not know what to do with him and told him to come back the next day. That was the last time he was seen. His wife in Germany received his effects in the mail.[1]

Hope this helps. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 21:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nordosm: I still can't clear up one thing about Geib, Russian declassified sources say he was brought to the USSR on October 21, 1946 and are very specific about that date and time. US-Canadian sources though give a date of 1945 (no month or day), which I believe they dervive from the 1955 CIA report. Which one is right? Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 21:50, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge relevant bits to Hybrid vehicle#Power This is a term used in the hybrid vehicle field to encompass the many forms of rechargeable energy storage used in these vehicles. A simple Google search shows that the term is verifiable e.g., SAE standard. The term was probably created by GM. While the field of rechargeable energy sources is huge, it isn't clear to me that this term is the mainstream term for it and I have not found in-depth RS discussing the term itself. Nonetheless, it is used in the HV field and I think it fits nicely as at least one of the standard terms used to describe the varied RESS listed in the section Hybrid vehicle#Power, which is just a bare list at the moment. --Mark viking (talk) 20:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - What are you doing? Please don't touch the draft I am working on. You moved this to an article. Just leave it please. Just to add to that. I have always believed that this article is notable after 2 years of improving etc, but I never wanted another editor to simply copy and paste and add the draft up again. Makes me look bad, though I do keep saying.. Look at the sources etc, but yes I gave up on trying to get this anywhere but I am allowed to keep the draft active at Draft:Alex Gilbert for improvements so please don't delete that. --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 06:57, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Well, as per WP:CWW, copying from within wikipedia without attribution is a problem, but not an unfixable problem, so it is a bit strong to say that it is a copyright violation. But if it has been refused at AfC recently, then I can't see that there is a good reason why a page can be allowed - surely it should go back to the AfC process if/when it is improved sufficiently for inclusion. I can't see that we're discussing deleting the draft, are we? JMWt (talk) 08:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Some further thoughts: Looking at the draft, I'm not so sure that the subject isn't notable and therefore maybe the conclusions of the most AfC are wrong (which to me suggests a wikipedia process problem which I have no idea how to resolve. How does one judge the conclusions of a an AfC vs a AfD process?). The normal practice of WP:GNG requires us to find WP:RS from independent secondary sources to give notability. This HuffPo report was written by a staff reporter and is fairly extensive. Also this SBS report, this Northern Advocate report, this Mirror report and so on. This all seems to me to enough give notability. JMWt (talk) 08:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NOTDICT. In its current status it reminds me a dictionary entry:

"toil. (from Greek ponos) is a concept of... 1. antiquity. Concept 2. Judaism and Christianity. Concept 3. economics. Concept"

If required it can be merged into wikt:toil or splitted into Toil (manual work), Toil (religion) and Toil (economics), but its current status must go. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 02:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, "toil" clearly exists as concept in philosophy and religion - including some content related to economics doesn't justify splitting the article; the economics is covered also in Paradox of toil. And why is AFD being used for an article split? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:40, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the article was created because someone above inserted an article for a non-charting album called Toil (by a band whose better-known albums get 3 hits a day, this one suspiciously gets more hits, why?) in the redspace for toil thereby blocking up search results for 2,479 uses of "toil" on en.wp, (or was toil originally a redirect to manual labour?), and the argument was made by several mainly pop editors that because manual labour wasn't the same as Toil therefore those searching "toil" must be looking for the non-charting album; see the current RM at Talk:Toil (disambiguation).

WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR, and no reliable source coverage to get her over WP:GNG. The strongest notability claim here is her winning of a minor literary award which isn't notable enough to make its winners notable just for winning it, and except for two reviews of her work in a non-notable publication, the referencing is otherwise entirely to primary sources which cannot support notability. As always, a writer is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because her staff or member profiles on the websites of directly-affiliated organizations verify that she exists -- she has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in media to earn one.

  • Delete as per nom. My sweeps of Canadian news found a few listings of poetry events but not the in-depth coverage which is needed.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I found more info in some sources that were below the references. I also checked the award and her position at Banff. Both are significant in the area of spoken word (admittedly a very small area!). Her works are mainly self-published, which is a negative, but spoken word is generally live, not published, so I can't ding her too much on that. It's a performance art, and she seems to have reached a high position in that art in Canada. LaMona (talk) 03:06, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, are there newspaper articles out there reviewing her live performances, surely even a number of local sources might count towards notability? Coolabahapple (talk) 07:35, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The cited sources are nearly all background ones that don't mention the subject or non-independent ones: Dancing Mindfulness, Marich (its creator), and someone who runs a DM class. There is one article in the trade journal Addiction Professional, published by Vendome Group. Searching for additional sources turned up a brief piece from a local TV station [19] and an article in Spirituality & Health [20]. I don't find the three convincing proof of notability. If kept, the article should be stubbed down to the point where independent sources support the bulk of the content. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hesitant to nominate this article for deletion since one of its stars has a Wikipedia article, and coverage for non-Bollywood films can be pretty spotty, but searching for sources and finding at most insignificant mentions, as well as the article admitting that filming only started last week, suggest that at best it's too soon to have an article on this. Also note that the article creator may have some COI issues. I might have missed some sources (the film's title is difficult to search for) so ping me if anyone sees more.

  • Keep, although probably is to be renamed/moved to I Wish (movie) or I Wish (Gujarati movie) or some other title. The article (without source?) states that filming began in late February. That would be consistent with This source from the article, and another source, both state there is a July 2016 release date. When principal filming has begun, a movie project is real, and it is no longer "too soon" according to practice or some specific guideline about upcoming films. --doncram 22:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is not significant coverage of this future movie. All I see are copied press releases. I also found nothing searching in Gujurati. Cordless Larry is correct, it fails WP:NOTFILM. Also it fails to make a notability claim. Possibly WP:TOOSOON. --Bejnar (talk) 02:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per failing WP:NFILM, the articles above provide nothing of substance about the film. Also obvious COI and promotional issues which do not help the cause. It's just too soon, let's wait the film being released and receiving reviews as a minimum. To be clear, whatever principal filming has begun or not, I am a bit skeptical the film will be ever notable. Cavarrone 06:11, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
