  • Comment: Per a book source I found (it won't let me link it here for some reason without it messing up the page) it looks like this was also the title of an article he wrote, likely non-fiction. This could probably be added to the list of his non-fiction works at Ray_Bradbury_bibliography#Non-fiction and just redirected there. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:18, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete without prejudice to recreation. I think I can see where this is coming from. Westfield_Horton_Plaza links to The Aesthetics of Lostness because the essay played a role in Jon Jerde's development. It's probably better to add a source for that claim to the Westfield_Horton_Plaza article, like this one, than to link to an article that isn't written yet. I'll go add the source and remove the link now. Mduvekot (talk) 23:03, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Despite an extensive search, all I could find about this event are press releases, brief mentions, or otherwise coverage from non-independent sources. There appears to be little third-party coverage about this which could establish notability. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:50, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

C-SPAN, the Museum of American Finance and Trinity Church have either broadcasted, co-hosted or publicized CelebrateHAMILTON events. The United States Coast Guard has participated with both its colors and its auxiliary band. The Hamilton Grange National Memorial, Federal Hall and the George Washington Headquarters Museum have been venues for the CelebrateHAMILTON events more than once. The page is not only well made, it is very informative and precise. SergioVillavicencio (talk) 03:51, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement ([as well as [Wikipedia:Notability (newspapers)]]). It was initially prodded by User:I dream of horses with insufficient rationale, and the prod was declined on technical grounds by User:James500. As I do share to concerns about notability of this tiny publication (reported circulation 6k, no history to speak of) I am bringing it here.

A brife look at sea salt[edit]

This student essay covers a topic that already exists on Wikipedia: sea salt. There is no need for a separate article. Some of the content might be incorporated into the existing article, but much of the content of this article involves poorly sourced dubious medical claims. Referencing health benefit claims to clickbait articles hosted on websites such as stylecraze.com, healingnaturallybybee.com, smallfootprintfamily.com, etc. are clear violations of WP:MEDRS. This article should never have been moved out of draft space. Edgeweyes (talk) 21:08, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am new to wikipedia so yes my account only has this one solo article for the moment. So yes I am a single purpose account at the moment because we all have to start somewhere. I do not work for or directly with Mr. Pursche, I've never even met the man. I just wanted to added certain financial contributors to Wikipedia with an intent is to spread the word of the importance of financial planning and proper financial education. Mr. Pursche was the first and is one of many I was going to add as I wanted to highlighting the men whom contribute to it. I was also going to do so about certain game changing events in finances, like about Jason Derek Brown or Ross Mandell's company Sky Capital, sort of like the CNBC show American Greed(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Greed). I thought the more the information was readily available the better for everyone. In layman's terms, I was adding this articles for the same reason a fan of Ben Affleck adds an article about him, or a sports fan adds an article about his favorite player. I'm just a huge fan of finances and the good guys in it. I also think everyone should be more aware of the white collar crimes so they hopefully don't fall victim. But at this point I do not want to fight over it, if you feel I am out of line or not breaching a term of service, then I must be doing something incorrectly. So I await to see what you guys decide. If you choose to remove the article then I will just consider it a bad idea and deactivate my account. If you do not then perhaps I can either request someone to write these articles or find out the proper way because clearly, I have no idea what it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KirbyMack (talkcontribs) 21:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:KirbyMack - On discussion pages you need to sign your post at the end by putting four tilde's in a row. There's a reminder at the bottom of the edit box (which sometimes scrolls off the bottom of the page). As you have not much experience with Wikipedia, it is too bad that you started out trying to create a new article, because that is the hardest thing you can do here. There are lots of "rules" (called "policies") that govern the content of an article, which you probably haven't learned yet. Although the subject of this article might be a "good guy", Wikipedia requires reliable sources that support notability (as defined in Wikipedia, so you need to read those pages). I'm !voting Delete because the person does not meet general notability and I could not find sources that would support keeping the article. This decision relates to today, and the person could indeed become notable in the future, at which point an article would be possible. LaMona (talk) 01:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It may be more of a case of too soon as he appears to perform in wide enough locations that he is more than the Orlando-based phenom that the article states, but there is no evidence provided here that touring the world in and of itself has established notability. I agree with user LaMona that these kinds of independent artists in charge of their own press efforts are becoming more plentiful, making it harder to discern which are wikipedia worthy. I tip in favor of delete based on the fact that the references cited by user Atlantic306 to establish notability are, in fact, 1) trivial local “whose performing this week” type entertainment blogs under the auspices of otherwise notable entities, or 2) articles that are of the subject talking about himself and his ambitions rather than contain independent objective reportage of any achievement or notoriety.

Multiple editors on the article's talk page agree that even if this is a topic worthy of discussion, the current version of the article is so thoroughly POV in its tone and in its synthesis and misrepresentation of sources that it would be better to WP:TNT it. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 15:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it is very funny, how they don't come with arguments. I tried my best to write about Paper Abortion, a highly discussed topic in Denmark and Sweden. As you said, it is a relevant article. Feel free to edit instead of deleting the article. Till now, I have used reliable sources (according to the Wikipedia guidelines), I even had a peer-reviewed article to this topic. Till now, there wasn't any argumentation against the article: just a lot of bullying in the form of 'You can't clean propaganda. Nuke from orbit' or 'ridiculous screed'. No real argumentation. Maybe you can come up with some, pointing out what I should correct - or maybe you just correct it yourself? --Momo Monitor (talk) 16:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I will copy the overview of when an article should be deleted on Wikipedia. If the article Paper Abortion do not attack any of this content, it shouldn't be deleted at all. If the article Paper Abortion do not attack the point listed, I will give it a checkY. Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):
  1. Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion checkY
  2. Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteriacheckY
  3. Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish checkY
  4. Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)checkY

  • Keep -- The nomination is based on the premise that "multiple editors" agree that the article is currently hopelessly POV, and that it is pointless to try to fix this perceived POV problem.

    When a topic is supported by verifiable reliable sources that establish it notability, deletion over contributors failing to reach a consensus on a POV version has always been a last resort.

    When I checked the talk page for myself I found the discussion the nominator refers to is only hours old.

    In that discussion nominator calls the current state of the article "a ridiculous screed". That is not what I found, at all. I found an article written in the idiosyncratic style of someone who was not a native speaker of English. I did not detect any attempt to use the wikipedia for a "screed".

    I will remind nominator that WP:Wikipedia is not censored. Nominator's statements on the talk page, and here, give the appearance that his or her objection is to coverage of a genuine real phenomenon -- one they don't like.

    I have asserted, over the years, that there is no topic that can't be covered from a neutral point of view, if there are references to support its notability, and good faith contributors willing to make the effort. Geo Swan (talk) 04:04, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, improve, make neutral in tone. Enough well sourced material on the topic for a stand-alone article. As a sociological phenomenon (one based on actual male behavior rather than on formally claimed rights) it has already been discussed by prominent scholars. Check to determine if this is the best title for such an article. See my article Talk page comments. Motsebboh (talk) 02:21, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete

It is theoretically possible to make this article neutral. However, it would involve renaming the article and rewriting every sentence in it. Because the author asked for evidence that it was biased, I compiled four examples. (They were written in response to the author, to whom I refer in the second person.)

1. "Feminists are very divided on this. Some feminists want equal rights and promote this idea. Other feminists deny it." Are they actually very divided on it? Is it anything close to an even split? Or are there just a small number of feminists who are in favor of it? Similarly, do you see how your way of contrasting feminists who are for and against the idea is biased? Because it is absurdly biased, and I'm not sure how I can explain it to you if you do not already see it. Imagine a statement like, "some children have good taste and prefer vanilla ice cream. Other children prefer chocolate ice cream." I've implied that children with good taste prefer vanilla ice cream, and that those who prefer chocolate ice cream have bad taste. Also, your use of the word "deny" is a non-native usage.

2. "The denial of parenthood meats same contra arguments[11][12] as common abortion did[13]: use birth control or don't have sex at all.[14][15]" Not only does this sentence contain a typo, grammatical errors, and a basic structure that is non-intuitive to native speakers, it also presents the arguments against "paper abortion" in a dismissive, straw-man tone. Did you think that you had done a good job summarizing the arguments against your position?

3. "But there is a huge debate in many countries." How many countries? How huge of a debate? You mentioned two countries, and one of them (Sweden), was a proposal by five kids involved in a youth politics group that got media attention because of how it was such a bad idea. You say "huge debate in many countries," but to me it seems like "a small debate in a handful of countries. But debated a lot online by men's rights activists."

4. When you say that 7 out of 10 Danes want to support "paper abortion," you cite an article that cites a Gallup poll. The article that you cite also talks about another poll in which 42 percent of Danes would support "paper abortion." So here you have an article that presents two facts, and you have picked the fact that makes "paper abortion" seem better-supported. Why did you pick 7/10, instead of 42%? Did you think you weren't being biased?

The author of this article didn't do basic research behind this article -- for example, they didn't bring up the US court case on this issue, and they didn't link to it from its subsection in another Wikipedia article. They also cherry-picked from a Danish article in one citation and flat-out lied about the content of a Swedish article in another citation (and then denied having lied about it, confusingly). Trying to work with them to improve this article is going to be a huge and frustrating waste of time. You already needed somebody who can read three different languages to catch the shady stuff they're pulling.

The author wrote a bad article and posted it without prior experience with editing or creating articles (at least, not on this account). They made Wikipedia worse by writing this article. If they want it to be an article, they can write a version worth keeping. Triacylglyceride (talk) 05:08, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also it violates WP:FRINGE. Triacylglyceride (talk) 05:11, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Triacylglyceride:, with regard to your fringe assertion, did you read Wikipedia:Fringe theories#Notability versus acceptance? FRINGE is pretty clear -- it only applies to topics that have never been written about by verifiable authoritative sources. The idea that fathers should get a get out jail card, or rather a get out of responsibility for their progeny dispensation, has been discussed, in reliable, verifiable sources. That makes the topic notable. Even if all that discussion had mocked the idea, it would still make the topic notable -- same as the meme of the flat earth. This is an aspect of the core principle of verifiability, not truth.

    As for your assertion that the article can't reasonably be brought into compliance with WP:NPOV... Your suggestion that we leap immediately to deletion is not appropriate. The deletion of articles due to irresolvable editorial disagreements is supposed to be reserved for a very last resort, when ordinary discussion on the talk page fails. Our nominator lapsed from compliance with WP:BATTLEFIELD with his or her immediate jump to nominate this article for deletion, without making a sincere good faith attempt to voice their concerns on the talk page first. Frankly, your comments on the talk page on March 14th also lapsed from compliance with BATTLEFIELD.

    On the fifteenth you did offer specific concerns on the talk page -- specific concerns which you seemed to have repeated here. Okay, first, specific concerns like yours should have been expressed on the talk page, first. You and nominator, and critics of the article should only have called for its deletion if you could point to a civil, collegial, effort to reach a compromise, on the talk page, an effort that failed in spite of your best efforts. Nominator skipped that step.

  • On the talk page you wrote: "It would take a massive amount of work to rework this into a presentable article. Since none of us think that this should be an article in the first place, none of us wants to rewrite it."

    News flash: Maintaining ANY article is hard work, even articles on topics where there is no controversy or disagreement. If we deleted every article that looked like it was going to be hard work, we wouldn't have a single article left. Let's be serious and drop the idea that this article should be deleted because working on improving it would be hard work.

    With regard to "none of us" wants to work on it, please don't claim to speak for the entire community. Please don't claim to speak for me. I found this article interesting. At the point you were claiming no one else wanted to work on the article I had already spent half an hour working on the references. Geo Swan (talk) 16:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and improve. Topic is notable - there are a boatload of sources out there on "paper abortion" and this is definitely something being discussed. Where the topic is notable, but the article is not well written, the solution is to keep the article and improve it, not delete the article. Original deletion argument sounds to me like WP:IDONTLIKEIT which is not appropriate grounds to delete. TheBlinkster (talk) 09:22, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete and salt and merge to Paternity (law). This is Gamergate DS territory so strong, consensus-based admin action is important here. This topic fails WP:GNG by a very long way, especially with regard to independent sources discussing it. There is probably enough for a section in Paternity (law) but that's it, for now at least. Jytdog (talk) 16:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My !vote is unchanged in light of the edits by Insertcleverphrasehere. This article remains an absurd act of rhetoric akin to "death tax" and the sources that have been introduced are poor.
This bit is pure, unadulterated WP:SYN and coatrack which I just removed from the article: "It would give men a redress in cases when they are tricked into parenthood,[1] raped[2][3][4] or when their semen is stolen.[5]"

I've commented on all the sources that have been brought, and I am not ignoring anything. But I will have to be honest, when I saw the daily mail in the list of sources you list above, i stopped. As I said above, it is really something how many garbage sources are being thrown at this topic.

Ok your attitude is getting to the point of insulting. If that source isn't appropriate, fine I've crossed it out. Once again it doesn't make the other sources any less notable. I'm getting rather sick of your use of this particular logical fallacy. I'm completely done talking to you, as you don't seem to have any good faith or a very constructive attitude but would rather go around insulting people's best efforts to help build an article.

Thank you for providing those sources which make it absolutely clear that a) this is Gamergate DS territory; b) this whole thing is a "legal stunt" by men's rights activists groups; c) that has gotten exactly zero traction in the real world in the ten years since the Time article was published. This is a completely fringe legal notion. Jytdog (talk) 03:10, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Atlantic article is three years old and the Scandinavian articles are quite recent.

Sounds like I just don't like it on your part. Motsebboh (talk) 04:56, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it goes to how real of a thing this is. The Time article makes it clear that this started a "legal stunt"; the question is whether it ever gained traction and actually became a legal right to disclaim paternity, anywhere in the world. Based on your reaction the answer is apparently "no", and this just remains a rhetorical device. Jytdog (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you try to crowbar discretionary sanctions onto the article under the guise of "Gamergate"[6]? These two things are completely unrelated except for a tangental connection to mens rights/feminism. I'd like to understand your reasoning here, as it seems like a choice made to scare people off of improving the article. InsertCleverPhraseHere 20:28, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just provided you formal notice of the DS that arose from the Gamergate case. Please read the links there. Jytdog (talk) 21:03, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realise that the Gamergate decision was so far broadened to include 'any gender related dispute or controversy'. I guess that means that the Feminism article and the Men's rights movement article should also be listed with the Gamergate discretionary sanctions (they currently are not tagged as such but perhaps they should be).

  • Strong Keep - This article needs significant work, but is clearly notable. I'll put my hand up to do a bunch of copy editing to bring the article in line with WP:NPOV. EDIT: i have done considerable work in bringing the article up to scratch. While many of the sources are Danish, and the article needs some more english language sources, it is unsurprising that many of the sources on the subject are Scandinavian, as the movement seems to have originated there. The article has been the subject of dozens of edits in the last week by multiple contributors, to the point that it is hardly recognisable from the article that was nominated for deletion [[7]]. As a result, many of the early 'delete' arguments are now irrelevant. This is now a case of WP:DONOTDEMOLISH and WP:BATHWATER. InsertCleverPhraseHere 04:04, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I wonder how much of the problem is the title. I had never heard it before tonight, though I've always known about irresponsibility of male parents, otherwise known as desertion. The analogy with abortion is a false one, and I can see several different possible political motivations for using it. An abortion terminates the pregnancy; (the relevant connection to abortion would be whether the male parent as well as the female has to give permission for an abortion) Many other things can terminate the responsibility for a child. The female parent can and sometimes does desert the child also, though I have the impression it's much less common than the male. (somehow it seems wrong to use the terms father and mother in this context). What is needed here is more than copyediting, though I am undecided between rewrite, and delete and rewrite. DGG ( talk ) 03:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Indeed. I wonder if there's a better location for this article. Since it seems to have originated from either Denmark or Sweden, perhaps the Danish or Swedish term would be a better title? I don't believe this concept has made it into the legal scholarship of the Anglosphere. Of course, even in those languages it seems like the term has been intentionally chosen to be controversial. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 05:21, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, on english wikipedia the articles should have an english name, unless a foreign word or phrase is commonly used in english sources. As english sources tend to use the terms "Paper abortion" or "legal abortion", there doesn't seem to be a case for using a Danish or Swedish title. "Legal abortion" is far too vague and easily confused with other abortion issues to be useful, and the term "statutory abortion" doesn't seem to be used much in english sources as far as I've seen.

As this is generally framed purely as a men's rights or egalitarian issue in the available sources, I really don't feel like it fits in those articles at all. If you want to support a merge, the Men's rights article is a far better choice. InsertCleverPhraseHere 19:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would accept a merge to that article too. it probably is better there. Jytdog (talk) 22:26, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Regardless of where the content goes as a merge, the POV issue still must be addressed. This article treats the topic as a serious proposal, while Time magazine refers to it as a "legal stunt". It is purposely provocative, yet that aspect of it does not appear anywhere in the article. The WP article could be a statement by a supporter, including the section on "Opposition". Nothing in the section on opposition refers to the accusations of mysogyny or, as Time calls it, a legal stunt. Unless these aspects are included, NPOV is not achieved. Very little of what is in the cited articles actually makes it into the WP article. The references are treated as citation "ballast" to support the article, not as sources of information. For example, the Time article says: "But solving one problem may just be creating another: pregnancy counselors find that another great source of pressure on ambivalent women is often the father of the child. As states crack down on "deadbeat dads," men have a greater financial incentive to pressure women into ending unwanted pregnancies." That's not in the WP article. The Atlantic article says: "Narratives like these—and they abound in the men's movement—lack historical context and philosophical nuance and seem chillingly misogynistic." So there's a criticism that isn't in the WP article. Personally, I would see it merged it into Men's rights movement because that provides the proper context for the message, which definitely arises from that philosophy.

A merge into MRM certainly makes some sense. InsertCleverPhraseHere 05:04, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I think that there is source enough material on the topic for a stand-alone article as well as a mention in other articles. Since the article was only created days ago, from brief and recent Danish and Swedish language sources, of course it lacks substantial context. The English language sources mentioned in this discussion hadn't even been added to it the last time I looked. Also, as I've mentioned before, the most important aspect of this general phenomenon (which this article and its title could perhaps be modified to fit) is that over the last several decades men have increasingly behaved as if they already had this "right". See George Akerlof: Reproductive technology shock. Motsebboh (talk) 14:04, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I should be more clear; merging makes more sense than deletion. However, I agree that this topic has more than enough sources to support a standalone article, and this is my preferred option by far. InsertCleverPhraseHere 14:18, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and Delete - Merge selectively to Paternity (law) (and possibly to Parental responsibility or Men's rights movement) and delete more or less per Jytdog. There is a notable subject about the rights and responsibilities of fathers. We already have an article on that in paternity (law), which could certainly use expansion. Then there's a neologism "Paper Abortion" which very few of the acceptable sources even mention, which is about paternity with a provocative MRM rhetorical spin. In other words, per WP:NEO and WP:NOPAGE we don't need pages about neologisms when there's already an article about the bigger, far better sourced subject. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:17, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've read at least three articles discussing this topic in mainstream media in the past, so in my judgement there's no legit case for deletion. (If I've got extra time, maybe I'll hunt for them and add them later.) I don't recall any of them specifically using the term 'paper abortion' though. So, if someone wants to propose renaming to something better, I wouldn't be against that. I do oppose merging. The arguments for doing so seem to be either that the article's quality is subpar or that the topic can be subsumed within the scope of a larger (less controversial) article. However, since almost all articles start out as something that needs improvement and that could be merged into a larger article, I think those arguments are disingenuous and really just cover for getting rid of an article on a controversial topic.

Normally, when you click on the figures in a player's Soccerway profile, you get though to the match(es) counted. At Mr Køhler's profile, if you click on the 5 in the unused subs column, you get the same 5 matches as listed beneath the table. But if you click on the 1 in the matches played column, or in the used subs column, or the 32 minutes played, you get "No data available". What that means is, they've made a mistake. Mr Køhler's profile at his club website lists him with no appearances, as does his profile at the Danish Superliga website. No prejudice against re-creation when he really does make his debut. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:47, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- WP:TOOSOON as he has not yet made an appearance. Currently fails WP:NFOOTY as demonstrated by Struway2's link to his own club's official stats page. Also, this up-to-date statistics page from Danish Television Sports News which is current to the club's latest match on March 20 2016. And a review of each of the 22 matches played since he joined FCN [8] shows he has not yet made an appearance. The Soccerway reference is clearly incorrect. CactusWriter (talk) 15:57, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dreams Beyond Grades was created recently by User:Novelbuzz, an SPA who has also edited the many times deleted and recreated Sujit_Meher, which I am concurrently listing. I don't know how best to AfD two connected articles which are both disrupted/recreated etc by the same crowd of disruptive socks, so I'll just put the relevant information in both places, and cross-link. (Look out for new socks in this discussion.) Sujit Meher, a young fashion designer, is the author of the purported "bestseller"[18] Dreams Beyond Grades. The article Sujit_Meher has been repeatedly speedied and recreated, see the deletion log here: [19]. Yunshui eventually restored Sujit Meher, obviously with some misgivings,[20] on request from a new user, Celebtech. Yunshui's AGF seems frankly of the suicidal kind; consider also the dialogue here. Anyway, Yunshui has left the project, but he was a checkuser and has blocked most of the socks involved in this saga of (to my mind obvious) self-promotion: Fashiondiva2015 (talk · contribs) and Quickjazz (talk · contribs). A new sock showed up when I prodded Dreams Beyond Grades yesterday, User:Fashiongrade2016, who removed the prod, restored copyright material to Dreams Beyond Grades, and restored unsourced puffery to Sujit_Meher. Blocked as a sock by Floquenbeam. The story emerging is of SPAs (or to put it more bluntly, socks) determined to promote the person Sujit Meher at all costs, in Sujit Meher and in Dreams Beyond Grades, repeatedly removing speedy templates and prods, requesting undeletion and recreating Sujit Meher with new accounts. I think we should delete and salt all this unscrupolous self-promotion. Oh, the article? Yes. It was quite long before, with a peacock plot summary of the life of the subject (Sujit Meher), most of which is at the moment gone because it's copyvio, but it tends to be restored by fresh socks, see history. To summarize: it fails WP:NBOOK and the sources are all promotional. Bishonen | talk 16:57, 23 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]

  • Delete (See below) Keep, as much as it pains me to say this, because the COI editing and other shenanigans have been deeply obnoxious and very disruptive. I'd say he passes WP:GNG. Leaving out the interview, the book plug, and ones with passing mentions, there are multiple articles about him and his designs in The Telegraph (Calcutta) [25], [26], [27], [28] and at least one in The Times of India [29]. They are all with bylines by reporters who regularly write on "lifestyle" topics for these papers (Pratyush Patra and Minati Singha). They span two years, and each one has different content. Yes, they're puff-piece-y in style, but that's how fashionistas write. The book is utterly non-notable. Voceditenore (talk) 08:42, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing my "keep" to "delete". I'm going to defer to DGG's judgement and persuasive arguments here, and I must say it wasn't a difficult decision. Voceditenore (talk) 07:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah. There's just now been some more disruption of both articles by a new sock, User:Mokaverma2016, removing AfD templates, restoring copyvio, threatening others with blocks (!) etc. It's a pity obnoxiousness is not a deletion reason, but of course it's not. I understand what you're saying about the normal way fashionistas write, Voceditenore. I have trouble taking the sources seriously, but then it's not important that I sympathize with them, or indeed that I sympathize with the article subject. If you say he's notable, I believe you. But if the article is kept, it'll need to be pretty much permanently watched against further peacockery and copyvio, sigh. Bishonen | talk 11:37, 25 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • Hmmmm. Yes, User:Mokaverma2016's approach to deletion templates and restoring copyrvio is remarkably similar to User:Novelbuzz's. I certainly won't weep if this article gets deleted. I've got it on my watchlist and if it's kept, I'll keep it there. UGH! Voceditenore (talk) 12:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That was my first thought but after running various distinctive phrases etc. through Google, I have not been able to find any press releases similar to these articles. That doesn't mean that it didn't happen, simply that the source press releases aren't on line. It may also be common practice in India and Sri Lanka to feed stories to reporters. You'd be surprised at the amount of press Dinesh Subasinghe gets from the main papers in Sri Lanka, who all seem to uncritically take his word for his various accomplishments and write them up in lengthy, flowery articles. But it's very hard to prove that's what's going on. Voceditenore (talk) 14:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think commonality of suspicion among experienced 'Pedians should count for something. Please note that Google doesn't index a lot of India-centric stuff very well, which is one reason why someone at the India Project created a special search facility for English-language Indian news sources. - Sitush (talk) 11:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I checked using the India Project's search engine and it produced the same results as Google, i.e. the five articles I've linked above and zero press releases. I also did individual searches directly on the most common press release sites in India (india-press-release.com, www.prnewswire.co.in, news-pr.in) and found nothing. I have found quite a few NIFT press releases, but none of them mention Meher. The article is currently neutrally written. The sources are of the type that for any other subject at AfD would almost certainly be considered independent, reliable, and sufficient. I think we'd be on a very slippery slope here to (a) delete an article simply because it has attracted obnoxious COI editors (b) allow "suspicion by experienced Wikipedians" to override these sources, especially when that suspicion is potentially coloured by the obnoxiousness of the article's editors and not supported by any objective evidence. Voceditenore (talk) 14:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, indeed. If you've delved that deeply then I agree entirely with you. I can't concentrate well enough to dig deep at the moment, sorry. - Sitush (talk) 14:53, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As per Voceditenore. He is mentioned in fashion-related articles in several reliable sources and the Wikipedia article is acceptably neutral. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:29, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Move to Draft instead if needed as this may seem minimally acceptable, I believe we can wait for better and, although the current amount of sources would seem acceptable, I'm still concerned about solidity. Asking DGG for any helpful analysis. SwisterTwister talk 04:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The sources are promotional or mere mentions; the purpose is promotional. " mentioned in fashion-related articles" is not notability. If anything , such mentions and such promotional sources are good evidence there is nothing better available. I fully share Voceditenore's doubts about Indian news sources in the arts and applied arts and probably business also. --I no longer regard coverage by them as proof of anything but that the persona has a press agent. As evidence for my doubt, see the actual content of some of the stories: [30] is as pure a press release as has ever been written. phttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Odia-designer-to-showcase-folk-fashion-at-Bangalore-show/articleshow/22445443.cms?referral=PM] is a somewhat longer equivalent, all in his own words with no indication of any editorial responsibility. [31] lists his name among several dozen people whom it does not consider among the famous designers of the title. Just his name--not a single word about him. But perhaps there is a little bit of editorial honesty--they all refer to him isn such terms as "budding designer" "young designer" or the equivalent--those are polite phrases that indicate what we would call not yet notable. Voceditenore. please look at the actual sources again.
Looked at with some editorial judgement of our own and knowledge of WP, this is not good faith editing. It's obvious work by a press agent, in apparent violation of our terms of use. According to the TOU, we all are responsible for enforcing them, and the way to do this is to delete the article and block the editors.
Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. Small variations to the notability standard either way do not fundamentally harm the encycopedia, but accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. That these are part of a promotional campaign is shown by the simultaneous attempt at an article about his book, a book not even in WorldCat. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encyclopedia . DGG ( talk ) 07:09, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note. The creator of the article on Meher's book, User:Novelbuzz, has been attempting today to canvass more people to this discussion (yet again!) and asking them to remove the AfD template: [32], [33], [34], [35]. Voceditenore (talk) 07:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still more canvassing: [36], [37], [38]. Voceditenore (talk) 10:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Dear Admins, He is mentioned in all fashion-related articles by all eminent fashion journalist in several reliable sources and the Wikipedia article is acceptably neutral. I wrote about his book, and about book concern he might not be an author but he himself listed in those top 10 alumni of NIFT,[1] and that published in NIFT website itself. And i guess its enough to be a notable person. Please kindly look at it Voceditenore DGG. If you go through his Facebook fan page. He has also verified as public figure by facebook itself with more than lakhs nos of followers. Which again shows the symptom of a notable person. And now a days Facebook is also a reliable source to verify a person to know whether he is a known person or not. His fb page: [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novelbuzz (talkcontribs) 09:03, 29 March 2016
  • Anyone can fake Facebook stuff and puff it up. The NIFT is known to be highly self-promotional. You are already getting a reputation for doing similar stuff here via your canvassing etc. All of this has been seen before at other NIFT-related articles. It needs to stop. - Sitush (talk) 09:15, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sitush Here NIFT published something that he was in the judge panel of IIT Kanpur Fashion Event. How can someone be a judge of such prestigious college like IIT without any notable mark? I guess IIT is not promoting him And there it clearly mentioned a renowned fashion designer by NIFT itself. Please go through the link. [3] [4]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Novelbuzz (talkcontribs) 09:20, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note And we can't say all media houses like The Times Of India, The Telegraph and other medias, NIFT, IIT and all are promoting him.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Novelbuzz (talkcontribs) 09:32, 29 March 2016
  • You may not be aware that IITs have also got into problems on Wikipedia due to their promotional activities. - Sitush (talk) 09:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Finally got my brain into gear and have had a look at the sources and for other sources. My original gut feeling - advertorial/promotion/no real notability stands. Please note that The Times of India is nowadays in many respects little more than a vehicle for puff pieces and has lost much of the kudos that once it had: standards have dropped enormously, even on such basic things as quality of prose, let alone of subject matter. Truly notable designers get mentions outside their own country: fashion is an international "movement", not a parochial one. DGG has it right, as far as I can see. - Sitush (talk) 09:12, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I wasn't going to get involved, but then I was one of the lucky several to get solicited by Novelbuzz and so I thought I may as well take a look. Sorry, but I have to agree with everyone else who is saying delete. When this person becomes properly notable, then he can have an article, but right now, at my most super-charitable best, it is too borderline to call either way, and because I'm not feeling super-charitable about being canvassed, I'm going delete.

There is nothing to suggest that ice hockey is an established sport in Egypt, with no significant coverage to establish notability.

  • Delete: Per Larry. It's fine and dandy that this amateur outfit is trying to bootstrap hockey in Egypt; good luck to them. But this rather reminds me of the Scouting in Vatican City article, a notorious attempt to paper over "There isn't any" for purposes unknown. Article created by now-indeffed editor, and furthered by the SPA from the Anubis club, who may feel promotional Wikipedia articles to be easier to maintain than its now-vanished website.

While Feedspot may not be particularly notorious, and seems to get lots of bad grades for their specific marketing practices, it does get used and talked about. There are probably a lot of pages on Wikipedia that are less useful. It could use a little info on number of users, frequency of update, and pros and cons of its particular methodology. If its actual entry is removed, it should probably (at least) point to a general page on comparing newsreaders for people who are trying to find out information about it as I did when I came to Wikipedia today.

  • Keep. I agree with David, this should be called a commutative magma. I think the term commutative non-associative magma probably came from the related notion of commutative non-associative binary operator. Here is a section in Bourbaki that defines a commutative magma and discusses associated properties like centralizers. Bourbaki, along with the Gscholar references David mentions, is enough notability for me. The nom has a point, though. I was unable to find an RS discussing rock paper scissors as a commutative magma. It appears in the folk literature, like stack exchange, but I cannot find an RS. Without an RS, the RPS material may need to be cut. --Mark viking (talk) 18:59, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I don't know how appropriate it is for me to comment, since I wrote the article, but the person, according to articles, has been a leading writer and creative in Lagos, Nigeria for years and has been given recognition as one of the 100 most inspiring women in Nigeria. Perhaps that isn't highlighted enough in the article(?). TheNetNG, the Lifestyle and News online newspaper of record in Lagos, described her as one of the highly established names in digital media, in Nigeria. She has also worked on some of the biggest online campaigns in Africa. Perhaps it wasn't made clear enough in the article. For that, according to the articles, she has been recognized by the Lagos state government, the Nigeria Leadership Initiative, (NLI); Advertisement Practitioners Council of Nigeria, local newspapers and a TV station. I put some of those things in the article, but they're spread out. I will work on the article to improve it and include more references to show notability, per Wiki quality and notability standards. Thanks very much

  • Don't Delete Article may need improvement. The subject's notability is not in doubt. She has shared the same stage with some of Nigeria's Digital Media best brains. People like Tolu Ogunlesi, Chude Jideonwo, etc. The 100 Nigeria's Most Inspiring Women thing is, in my opinion, worthy proof that she deserves the space. Being on the same list with people like Chimamanda Adichie, Arunma Oteh, Tara Fela-Durotoye,Genevieve Nnaji, etc, is no mean feat.

  • Delete as both this and my searches have nothing solid enough for convincing notability. SwisterTwister talk 02:35, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep finding many local and regional sources over an extended period of time to indicate that the organization has lasting coverage. For example, Elgin Children's Chorus presents final show of season (Chicago Tribune), Elgin Children's Chorus to hold auditions, 'Devine' singing with Elgin Children's Chorus (Chicago Daily Herald), and From the quaint to the spectacular, McHenry County's holiday happenings (Northwest Herald) are some examples. I'm finding a good amount of coverage made up of feature articles in the Chicago Tribune, and although Elgin is a distant suburb of Chicago, it's clear that this is far and above any routine coverage. Passes WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:43, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The source above you have labeled as the Chicago Tribune is actually from the Courier-Tribune, a west suburban paper bought out by the Trib several years ago....unambiguously a local paper. The Daily Herald is a joint banner shared by several separate local editions distributed in the Chicago suburbs, also not a regional paper. In any case, one of those citations is just a short blurb and the other is primarily about an artist making a guest appearance with the choir. The bit in the NW Herald is nothing more than an announcement. Lastly, passing GNG is irrelevant. ORG is the applicable standard and it requires widespread coverage. John from Idegon (talk) 05:26, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response www.chicagotribune.com -- published by the Chicago Tribune. The header says it's "Chicago Tribune" and if you click on "home" it takes you to the Chicago Tribune. The Chicago Tribune thinks enough of the subject to publish it under their banner--doesn't really matter which paperboy delivers it to who at that point.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:16, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. International touring (Europe) is enough to pass WP:NBAND. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 13:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It's notable when a band gets international gigs and organizes a tour, but choral programs frequently "tour" at their own expense[45] as an educational program, rather than something primarily musical. If we apply this notability standard to choirs, there are literally thousands of American high school bands and choirs which will be independently "notable" under this standard, when in fact they are not.--Jahaza (talk) 14:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Response the argument made by Jahaza itself is sound, I just do not believe it applies in this case. Certainly self-funded educational tours will not necessarily qualify every such choir as notable, but investigation will show that such tours usually have performances at relatively minor venues. We're looking at gigs from Wrigley Field to Carnegie Hall, having performed with Vienna Boys Choir, Donny Osmond, and Leonard Nimoy. The group has a history at least as far back as 1986. Individually, those may not reach notability but brought together it all means something. And that's reflected by the coverage in the media that the group gets.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:50, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Paulmcdonald: the problem is that they didn't actually perform with the Vienna Boys Choir, they went to a workshop taught by the Vienna Boys Choir, as the citation says and as is reflected in the article "Memories as large as the Alps: European trip thrills singers in Elgin chorus" in the local Daily Herald[46]. Similarly, a letter from the tour company in the Daily Herald[47] says the Carnegie Hall performance was part of a "festival" organized by MidAmerica Productions. That one company is producing performances by 127 different school, church, and community choral groups at Carnegie Hall in the next four months alone.[48]--Jahaza (talk) 16:10, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even so, the extensive coverage more than surpasses WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A merge or redirect to the parent article's character section should suffice. The parent article is a GA and sufficiently covers the characters. czar 14:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As the first sentence of these five articles clearly states, unlike the 50 U.S. states plus Washington D.C. (see previous AfD), these territories will not participate in the presidential election, so the mere existence of these articles is slightly misleading. While the major parties hold primary contests in these territories, they do so at their own discretion, similarly to the Democrats Abroad primary, 2016. So while the major parties' individual primaries and caucuses are valid topics, these ones IMHO aren't. PanchoS (talk) 11:19, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I don't agree with the stated rationale for deletion. These are real elections, covered in the relevant media; the chosen delegates vote at the conventions. (Puerto Rico elects 60 Democratic delegates, which is more than about half of the states get.) Our paperless encyclopedia has room to accomodate the details of every presidential cycle and I don't see why we would go out of our way to remove them. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:07, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Arxiloxos: Take a single look at the lead of any of these and you'll immediately see these article don't cover real existing primaries but a non-existing presidential election. Puerto Rico doesn't elect 60 Democrat delegates – registered Democrats Party of Puerto Rico does. This is not about wasting space but about an incorrect topic. --PanchoS (talk) 06:31, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, these are very legitimate and very real presidential primaries. If anything, they could be renamed to reflect the fact that they only participate in the primaries, but that's explained at the beginning of these articles. Why bring these to AfD and not just ask them to be renamed? You mentioned the Democrats Abroad primary... The Moose is loose! 20:36, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see. I didn't realize there were separate pages for each party's primary in some of those territories. Regardless, I think I would prefer to have both major parties in the same article for each territory in these small contests, and rename/merge content. That's not a discussion for AfD, but since we're here now... The Moose is loose! 15:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An extraordinary WP:POVFORK. Violates every letter of WP:NOTESSAY, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTSOAPBOX. On a sidenote, I think we should be able to speedily delete these sort of essays rather than allow people to have a seven day soapbox AusLondonder (talk) 08:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I created this article and I see it as an interesting, short article about viral video that became a poster child in the Presidential primary campaigns of both Trump and Sanders, who used the Carrier move to Mexico to talk about the economic plight of the middle class as a consequence of offshoring manufacturing. Probably as a consequence of the use by these 2 Presidential candidates, a number of journalists and analysts have used the Carrier move in this same way, as a poster child to discuss the impact of moving jobs abroad on American workers, and as poster child for discussion/analysis of what the consequences of Trumps proposed 35% import duty would be.

Do we highlight the business decisions made by every company? The event has already been written about on the Carrier page and includes information about the Presidential involvement in the issue. While E.M. Gregory has revised the article and added more details - this does not make it any more legitimate as a Wikipedia article than did the original version.

  • The author should bear in mind that the number of visits over the last three days, which he cites, is more than likely fellow editors such as myself being invited to view the page to pass comment and judge whether it warrants deletion rather than evidence of a groundswell of public interest. As it stands the page is no more than a curriculum vitae or resume and the citations are not being used to prove notability but merely to establish what year he was born, what junior seminary he attended or in which city he now lives. I'd suggest the author takes the opportunity whilst the page is being discussed to re-write it in order to establish why he thinks the subject is notable enough to have a dedicated Wikipedia page and use sources and citations to re-enforce the claim of notability rather than just prove basic school and residency claims.

Promotional and refbombed BLP lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Loaded with primary source and non-independent refs but nothing reliable and in-depth about the individual.

The result was Delete and...(The preceding comment added by Lourdes to resolve breaking of the Afd script)) moved back to a userspace draft, User:Gillianhai/sandbox. This appears to be a class project (Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of British Columbia/FNH 200 102 (Term 2)) and the instructor is guiding the students, so it is best to keep the text as a draft rather than deleting outright. @JudyCChan:, I suggest that you have your students improve existing articles, such as miso, instead of creating new articles on existing topics. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:08, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This is a student entry, which explains the way it's written - it's fairly common for students to write something in an essay style since that's what they're used to. Offhand we don't really need this specific page because we already have an article at miso, but some of the information could probably be merged as long as it's sourced properly and is written to fit the WP:MOS.

  • Delete This is an unacceptable content fork of Miso. All content that would fall under this long, unwieldy, counterintuitive article title should instead be covered at Miso and I see no reason for a separate article to exist. In all honesty, the fact that this strange article was created by a student is of no interest to me.

In all honesty, the fact that this strange article was created by a student is of no interest to me. Instructors should ensure that students thoroughly understand our core content policies before unleashing them and their articles on the encyclopedia," I agree, but the underlying problem is that instructors should ensure that they understand our core content policies before ensuring that students understand our core content policies. The real problem isn't the students; it is the instructors. In this case the instructor may understand the content policies and may have simply made a mistake.

Keep It is irrelevant whether there are other articles, but whether there are other valid entries, perhaps per MOS:DABMENTION. In this case, there are no partial matches (unless the valley could never be called simply 'Digon' and then that would be a partial match). This is a dab and surname page is one, and is structured appropriately as such per MOS:DABNAME: For short lists of name holders, new sections of Persons with the surname Xxxx or Persons with the given name Xxxx can be added below the main disambiguation list.

Delete. I would say that you are correct.

As Tpdwkouaa explained above, we have an article for mathematical modeling, but unless a specific application has received significant coverage in reliable sources, it probably shouldn't have its own article. It appears that the application of mathematical modeling for non-interacting tank systems has received at least some coverage in scholarship (see, e.g., this paper), but a discussion of that application would likely be best placed within the context of the article for mathematical modeling (per WP:PAGEDECIDE). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:38, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
