Hugo Ruf (Waffen SS)[edit]

An unremarkable Waffen-SS member; significant RS coverage cannot be found; article is using unreliable sources such as Frontjkemper (forum dedicated to foreign SS "volunteers"); Wiking-Ruf ("Viking's Call" newsletter dedicated to SS division Wiking); etc.

The topic of the notability of Knight's Cross winners has been extensively discussed here: Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles; the summary in this subsection (Part 3). There's currently no consensus whether a single award of the Knight's Cross meets WP:SOLDIER #1, given that many were not awarded for valour and that too many were awarded overall (over 7,000). This article is part of about 500 similar articles created by editor Jim Sweeney in late 2008.

The article was discussed at AfD in 2009, closing as keep, based on the comparison to VC or MoH. However, the 2016 discussion above presents these comparisons as insufficient: "four times as many KCs awarded in 6 years as there have ever been for the VC, and twice as many as there have ever been for the US MOH. (...) There's a preponderance of evidence that indicates that it doesn't seem to be prestigious enough to merit inclusion based solely on receiving it."

Likewise, no new sources have been produced during the AfD nor biographical information added following it, resulting in a WP:DIRECTORY listing rather than a balanced biography. I don't believe such sources exist for this subject, and it does not meet the criteria for a stand-alone article under WP:BIO1E and failing to meet GNG.

  • Speedy Keep Subject meets WP:SOLDIER. The nominator is on a de-Nazification streak ignoring WP:MILHIST consensus on subject notability and this ongoing trend begins to look like bad-faith to me. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- Wikiprojects do not determine notability, only community as a whole; pls also see WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. Further, even members of the project acknowledge that not all KC awards qualify under WP:SOLDIER #1, since only a subset of them were awarded for valour, as required by SOLDIER. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:16, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @K.e.coffman: If you don't think SOLDIER should exist, nominating articles for deletion on the basis of your belief is POINTy, at best. You've been arguing this on the talk page and it appears not enough editors agree with you. Further, the SNG is about presumption of notability. I don't see evidence that Ruf didn't deserve a valor award so I'm presuming he's notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:26, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- SOLDIER is an essay, not an SNG; there's no "presumption of notability" based on an essay that needs to be "refuted" by the nominator. In contrast, the notability needs to be positively demonstrated by significant coverage in reliable sources (as required by WP:SOLDIER). Such coverage cannot be located in this case, and because of this the article has been nominated for deletion under existing policies and guidelines.

  • Delete as I have expressed before on these articles, I don't feel that the sources provided meet the threshold required by WP:GNG. This one has a few different ones than some of the other one's that @K.e.coffman: has nominated in the past, but I don't feel they meet the reliable sources criteria and agree with his reasoning in the nomination. This one does appear to have been nominated for bravery/valor, so I'm actually more open to it than some of the others, but I would want to see some additional reliable sources. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:00, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The multi-volume series by Wegmann et al will have a page or two on this chap. That and other mentions are enough to get him over the GNG line. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:51, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- this is the same argument as offered in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wilhelm Beck, without producing the source or making sure that the content indeed exists. (The article was ultimately deleted). In any case, even if the source were produced, that would have been a single entry related to WP:BIO1E and would not have been sufficient, as other sources (Fellgiebel, Scherzer) are trivial one line mentions. K.e.coffman (talk) 15:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Ruf was a member of the Waffen-SS. Thus it is unlikely that any information about him can be found in works that deal with recipients of the Knight's Cross of the Wehrmacht, including Thomas & Wegmann and Fellgiebel. Not that it would be a high quality work, but it seems that neither is he mentioned in Peter Strassner's history of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking Europäische Freiwillige (dt. 1968; engl. European Volunteers). Thus it doesn't really surprise me, that the article merely references some unreliable (and mostly extinct) websites. The article itself provides only one information, namely that Ruf was awarded the Knight's Cross. In fact, all three sentences feature the word "awarded". In other words, there is no indication of Ruf's notability. Otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to unearth even the most basic information.--Assayer (talk) 00:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Another NN soldier. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the same can be said about these other articles; there's information and some sources about him, yes, but still not enough to actually in fact suggest his own convincing article, therefore it's imaginably better to simply list him elsewhere as part of another article. SwisterTwister talk 06:28, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (R) It's pretty clear that the subject is not independently notable. Given the fact that the KC was awarded to so many recipients, I do not think that it confers an automatic notability. Neither is there the significant coverage required for GNG. I think stuff like this should be maintained in a list, which is why a redirect is the best solution here. The target page already contains the subject's info, so a redirect is best. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:31, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete She continues to have things on the fringe of notability. She is now a published author on Amazon (for a non-notable work}. I guess this is a non-WP:RS.

  • Delete by all means because the exact information there is listed here, is simply what there is to say and advertise about her; the 1 source is certainly not enough because it's essentially exactly to the levels of what the information is: unconvincing and not substantial.

  • Delete This is a film that is 3 years from its release date. Those have a tendency to not happen, so even that is debatable. More over the title actor who has the main role in 74. He probably will live to be in the film, but that is far from gauranteed, which could scuttle the whole project. Until we have reliable evidence that principal photography has comencedwe should not have this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:11, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Besides TOOSOON, also a violation of WP:NOT (WP is not a crystal ball). Until principal photography begins, there is always the risk that this could go into development hell. --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:07, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Indiana_Jones_(franchise)#Future. It's too soon for an article since filming hasn't commenced and right now all we have is just talk. The film could be made or it might not be - until filming commences we won't really know for sure. We could probably leave the article history behind so that if/when filming does start, we'd have something to pull from. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't see any point in redirecting it. If we had a firm title it would be a viable redirect, but not with the current title. No-one is likely to ever search for "Untitled Indiana Jones film. Meters (talk) 07:47, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete: There is already a perfectly adequate location for this at Draft:Indiana Jones 5, for a film that has not even gone into production. This article's creator may contribute there until it is ready to move to the main space. DARTHBOTTO talkcont 23:48, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Roller Hockey International. After considering SpinningSpark's previous close and looking at what changed his mind, I still see a consensus to delete. I also see a willingness to retain the information and some suggestions to merge, so I'm taking the least destructive method I can, which is to redirect for now to allow time to merge any useful information. While redirects are free, this particular case is borderline and I would recommend deleting after any useful information is extracted. This also allows a little time for finding more sources if they exist and expanding on the talk page, and if it can be saved, providing the rationale there.

WP:CRUFT; no need for a division article for a league that's barely notable (if it's notable at all, that is). Deprodded by Kvng with a note to consider a merge, but nothing here is worth merging, and it makes little sense to keep this as a redirect. ~ Rob13Talk 23:04, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BU Rob13: how do you come to the conclusion that there is nothing worth merging. It would seem worth mentioning in Roller Hockey International that the league is organized into conferences and divisions. ~Kvng (talk) 16:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete although I'd be quite happy to see any referenced content here merged, possibly all zero bytes of it ;-p. Seriously though, if anybody wants to improve Roller Hockey International then they can, but that need not detain us from deleting this unreferenced cruft. Also please take this as a preemptive Delete !vote on the other pointless RHI division articles should they be deprodded and end up at an AfD. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:32, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but open to Merge to RHI article. This information is notable and should be contained somewhere as this was a major professional league that despite the comment above was very notable during its operating time with national broadcasting and media coverage. -DJSasso (talk) 13:15, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Djsasso: What, precisely, do you wish to merge? This entire article is unsourced, so none of it could be merged as-is to the main article. Let's say we delegate to some poor sap the requirement to source this entire thing. The information regarding which teams existed in the league at which times is already contained in the league article, which is all this is - a list of teams folding and starting. If you would like to source this entire article to the point where a merge is preferable, feel free, but that would be entirely new work. Alternatively, if this article is kept, I'm happy to purge it of all unsourced information as per WP:V, which will leave a stub that says a division existed (even though that itself has not been sourced). ~ Rob13Talk 22:16, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • There should be no problem merging unsourced material into an existing article especially into a poorly-sourced article such as Roller Hockey International. Deleting material solely because it is unsourced is a WP:DEMOLISH mentality. Policy requires sourcing for material that is likely to be challenged or has been challenged. The material in Central Division (RHI) has been in the encyclopedia since 2009 and it has not been challenged. The only challenge to it in this AfD is that it is not notable. ~Kvng (talk) 22:56, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • I would suggest that this article existing since 2009 reflects a complete lack of interest in this non-notable subject, not broad acceptance of its validity. It seems that it is so obscure that nobody has noticed that it should not be here until now. If anybody really thinks that there is mergable material here then I suggest that they ask for the article to be moved into their user space and then merge it, with sources, at their leisure. No rush. No pressure. But also no reason to make it anybody else's problem. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • As Kvng mentions, only information that is likely to be challenged requires sourcing. As such pretty much everything in this article could be merged. And it would take two seconds to find sources for a major professional league to show what teams were in the divisions in which years so it isn't exactly hard to source either. The point of division articles isn't to show a division existed as much as to show the timeline of that division. So just showing a division existed isn't the point. And I should point out that if you had followed WP:BEFORE you could have sourced it yourself before nominating as is expected of nominators. -DJSasso (talk) 11:29, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Was RHI really a major professional league? I'm not saying it is entirely non-notable but surely its detailed fancruft is non-notable and unlikely to have good RS coverage. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Roller Hockey International as preferred WP:ATD. See discussion above for details and justification. ~Kvng (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2016 (UTC) Striking as material has been challenged and, through research, found lacking. ~Kvng (talk) 12:10, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak Merge or Delete per Kvng. Additional references are needed in the parent article however. I think without sourcing, that article may also not meet standards. South Nashua (talk) 19:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Northamerica1000: I looked, and I couldn't even verify this division ever existed. Given the at-times-odd names of "divisions" previously placed in the see also section, such as Murphy Division (RHI), I seriously question whether these divisions ever existed. The few places this "Central Division" are mentioned on the internet appear to originate from this very article. ~ Rob13Talk 05:19, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I have retracted my close of this debate on finding this article on roller hockey in Boys' Life. This shows for certain that there is no hoax at work here and at least partially verifies the article content. For the record, here is a copy of my now retracted closing rationale:
The result was delete. I'm usually quite sympathetic to WP:RETAIN type arguments, and certainly policy does not support being unreferenced, by itself, as grounds for deletion. However, in this case, more than one participant has made a good faith effort to find sources without result, and furhtermore, a suspicion has been raised that hoaxers might be at work here. The WP:DEMOLISH argument is all very well, but there is no sign that anyone is actually building this particular house. There have been no substantive contributions since Feb 2009 when the article was first created. I will happily userfy or draftify this on request for anyone who actually wants to work on it.

This appears to be a non-notable organization. The article was created by a now-indefinitely-blocked sock of an editor who abused multiple accounts for promotional purposes. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aximilli Isthill. (My opinion is that this individual is an undisclosed paid editor.) The references do nothing to support notability of this company: some are non-independent, many include only passing mentions, some appear to be rehashes of press releases.

I'm not against editorial redirection, as long as the outcome is without prejudice to re-creation. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:09, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as there's barely anything here, there's simply the basic information about what to say about the company, and then the sources, which clearly are not establishing any substance at all; I frankly consider this speedy material. The 1 Keep vote here states that they believe WP:GNG is met, yet this would still be a thin attempt at an article, and we know we must be smarter about articles for companies, especially considering PR and what results from that.

  • Please explain how the article is promotional. Cunard (talk) 21:30, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article is promotional in that it exists to describe the company's success, using questionable sources. For example, the 2nd para of the lead is based on a news article that shows that the material is pick up from what the company provided to the paper:
"Also, we have 200 online merchants who partner with AIS, as well as several thousand offline shops [under the Rabbit card network] that receive mPay. Last year, we had around 5,000 outlets accepting mPay offline via NFC [near-field-communication technology], and this year we expect to have around 50,000 outlets receiving mPay via NFC," said the MD.
Currently, mPay has some 1.6 million registered members, comprising around 1.2 million end-users and 400,000 mPay agents. About 150,000 end-user members actively use mPay each month, with an average monthly transaction value of Bt30,000.
He said that because mobile wallets were aimed at people's everyday spending of relatively small amounts each time, their main rival was cash.

      The article notes:

      Supreecha Limpikanjanakowit, the managing director of Advanced mPay, the payment unit of Advanced Info Service, says cheaper smartphones and improved high-speed wireless broadband have spurred wider adoption of mobile payments.

      Advanced mPay is adding two new flagship services _ mass transit payments and a mobile wallet for shopping _ to increase transaction revenue.

      ...

      Advanced mPay will join with MasterCard next month to roll out the mPay debit card service, letting customers make purchases via MasterCard.

      Since mPay began seven years ago, it has amassed about 700 merchant partners.

      "Partnering with MasterCard will lift the number of outlets in the merchant payment gateway to several thousand in Thailand and 4 million globally," said Mr Supreecha.

      He blames the restriction of mobile payments to the local currency for impeding the progress of mobile payment service in Thailand.

      Advanced mPay is expanding service with Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc this year, letting customers use near field communication (NFC)-enabled smartphones to pay skytrain fares.

      The article notes:

      Launched 11 years ago, the AIS mPAY service has only 1.4 million active users from 2.5 million downloads. It has seen gradual growth but AIS has decided to spur growth by making AIS mPAY available to all mobile users with its easy-to-use multi-language concept.

      ...

      AIS mPAY is available for all mobile users, not just AIS users. It takes just two steps to apply and start the service: download the app and then set up the account with a four-digit PIN.

      Users can store up to Bt5,000 into their mPAY wallet and they can increase the amount of stored money to Bt30,000 when they register their mPAY account and up to Bt100,000 if they show up at mPAY-partner banks.

      AIS mPAY currently has a strong portfolio: eight bank partners, which together have over 50,000 ATM machines to add money into AIS mPay; 200,000 mPAY stations to add money and to receive payments by AIS mPAY; over 60,000 non-banking channels to add money into AIS mPay; and over 200 merchants and bills can pay with AIS mPAY.

      Advanced MPay Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Advanced Info Service, the country's largest mobile-phone operator, has signed up a disappointingly low 100,000 active users for its wireless payment service since beginning operations last August.

      Managing director Komsan Buppanimite said one of the problems the company encountered was customers not knowing where or how to "fill up" their mobiles with cash, because in the past, neither Advanced Info Service outlets nor Telewiz shops could assist that transaction.The company has shortened the process in a bid to attract a higher number of users.

      Mr. Preecha Paralympic Kanjanakul Sankhagowit. Managing Director of Advanced mPAY Co., said in response to a small group of entrepreneurs. Both stores are located on the front line. Or the market in general, in conjunction with the Bank of Thailand Open "mPAY Gateway (MPay Gateway)" is a payment system that is integrated only into the MPay gateway at the same time all channels, both online and offline through. no bank account or bank account. The seller does not have to connect to all the banks themselves.

      For MPay default gateway on the seller signing the Username and Password, you can start accepting payments immediately. To receive each payment Sellers simply enter the amount of each order. The system creates a link Up to link payments to wholesale customers through SM SM, Male, Whats App, Facebook or anywhere. When customers pay via selected MPay Gateway will pay to the vendor an order for immediate payment.

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

    Cunard (talk) 07:32, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I read the article and consider it neutrally written. MPay is based in Thailand, so most of the sources are in Thai. I have listed two Thai sources above but there are many other that can be found in a Google search that a user proficient in Thai can use to expand the article.

    Cunard (talk) 07:32, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and I meant to comment sooner, there's nothing to sensibly or sufficiently non-PR to merge, because it's all still PR for a business that swims in PR; examining the sources listed above found each and every article to contain at least the normal amount of this PR, for example, "For MPay default gateway on the seller signing the Username and Password, you can start accepting payments immediately. To receive each payment Sellers simply enter the amount of each order. The system creates a link Up to link payments to wholesale customers through SM SM, Male, Whats App, Facebook or anywhere. When customers pay via selected MPay Gateway will pay to the vendor an order for immediate payment"; this is essentially a sales pitch and as are the ones above it, to nearly to the top, because it only shows how and what the business is, it's not actual journalistic news and it's certainly not guaranteed to be uninvolved with PR and PR activities (as such, none of that can honestly be called "significant", "independent" or "notable"). Another note is that the fact these "news" are set so far apart in time, it shows they were simply expected and unsuccessful, therefore repeated, attempts at PR. As such, none of this can be accepted if there's still such questionability. Another note is that every single article begins with a sales-pitch-coated sentence, suggesting that is especially not NPOV-news, if all that can be mentioned is PR itself. The first Keep votes are thin and are not substantiating themselves, including acknowledging the PR concerns here. As with other AfDs, there are no benefits of keeping this in the history at any costs, if it's vulnerable to not only repeated advertising but anything of the sort at all. As always, there has been consensus that no amount of likely convincing "sources" can outweigh the damages and overall actions of accepting advertisements, regardless of whatever is shown. SwisterTwister talk 20:32, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have stricken this duplicate vote since you voted above. I cannot agree that the newspapers the Bangkok Post, The Nation, the Manager Daily, and the Daily News are all publishing news articles filled with PR.

    Another note is that the fact these "news" are set so far apart in time, it shows they were simply expected and unsuccessful, therefore repeated, attempts at PR. As such, none of this can be accepted if there's still such questionability. – I cannot agree that the fact that the news articles were "set so far apart in time" demonstrates that they are "expected and unsuccessful, therefore repeated, attempts at PR". That logically does not follow. Instead, that the news articles were set so far apart in time demonstrates they were driven by Thai media's sustained interest in this major Thai payment service provider.

Its been tagged to death, but apparently abandoned by the original author. Much of the article is incomprehensible, or likely wrong. It is a faint eclipsing binary star, one of hundreds of the type, . It is not contained in the list of stars in Canis Major, or the template for stars of Canis Major, a big clue that this is not a notable object per WP:NASTRO. Simbad lists nine papers mentioning the star, an astonishingly low number. Even more astonishingly, four of them are about either this star or a small number of objects including this star. There was a flurry of interest in 1984 that the light curve of some eclipsing variables showed an interesting asymmetry, refuted a few years later.

I have edited the article, hopefully improving it in the process. As for the O'Connell effect that Lithopsian apparently means: I have not found a refutation of it, rather there is a variety of explanations for this observed phenomenon. It might be worth a separate article. Aside from that, I believe that the article "CX CMa" should be renamed into "CX Canis Majoris" in order to keep in line with other articles on stars. --Schlosser67 (talk) 09:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly if the article is kept, it should be renamed as suggested. The article is now a passable stub rather than a half-nonsense mash-up. Still not notable, though ;) Lithopsian (talk) 12:18, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

they only played in the preliminary rounds. LibStar (talk) 15:27, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The preliminary rounds are part of the tournament, are they not? Smartyllama (talk) 15:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They are, but not for the purpose of WP:FOOTYN, since they are explicitly organised on a regional basis to determine the single state qualifier. Fenix down (talk) 17:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Question - the policy says "All teams that have played in the national cup (or the national level of the league structure in countries where no cup exists) are assumed to meet WP:N criteria. Teams that are not eligible for national cups must be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria" (Emphasis mine.) Notice the difference in language between the two parts. So is the criteria actually playing in a national cup, or being eligible to play in one? The club clearly meets the latter criteria. Smartyllama (talk) 19:39, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am afraid it does not. As the qualifying rounds are specific state competitions, the club only becomes eligible for national competition if it wins one and actually qualifies for the competition proper. To my knowledge this club has never qualified for the national competition. Fenix down (talk) 06:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They're eligible for the Cup even if they've never qualified. If they weren't eligible, they wouldn't be participating in qualifying. As an analogy, there are a number of national teams which are eligible for the FIFA World Cup but have never qualified. Any FIFA member is eligible whether they've actually qualified or not. That's why they participate in qualifying, but, for instance, the Martinique national football team doesn't participate in CONCACAF qualifying in spite of being a CONCACAF member. It's not eligible for the World Cup since it's not a FIFA member. Obviously, I know there are different notability criteria for national teams than clubs and I'm not trying to pull a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, merely point out what "eligible" means. Smartyllama (talk) 15:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • copying my comments from Talk:Mary Houghton here, My point about Houghton meriting an article has to do with the fact that people who were well known 2 or 3 decades ago sometimes get deleted simply because too few editors have access to newspaper archives, whereas contemporary notables are easy to source. I may or may not be able to make time to go back and take a more careful look at Houghton, source, and improve her article but I certainly saw enough to think that someone definitely should do so (or, do some good archive searches before recommending deletion.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • per E.M.Gregory - I am withdrawing my nomination, based on the fact she is probably a notable person, and simply tagging this article for improvement.
I am copying the other (brief) talk page comments below :
As I said, I was thinking the same - that we need an article on South Shore Bank. Also, I'm not sure what you meant by "one on Chicago" (I wish there wasn't an article on Chicago, so I could write it - well, you could help me ). There is an article on Wikipedia named ShoreBank - is this the wrong title?
Anyway, I propose that we combine all of these elements into one new article - I'm thinking "South Shore Bank". It seems, there are plenty of references that pertain to this bank. In this way, we can have a whole section on Mary Houghton, and other sections about other people involved. I am willing to withdraw my nomination on this basis.
Also, regarding ProQuest - I think I can access these at via my public library online. I think there is no worry about a pay wall for these.
Well, let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas. I'll probably withdraw my nomination if you insist, but I'm not sure there is more than passing mention about Houghton in any given article. Of course, these might be useful for building an article piecemeal per COREDEPTH. However, my preference is to have everything in the South Shore Bank article. Yet, it seems you are proposing at least two articles on the AfD page, but I am not sure what the second one is supposed to be. Steve Quinn (talk) 00:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it is the same bank. If you scroll down the older name appears, and the name change. Nice work. I'm not certain about Houghton. There's nothing special about ProQuest, whatever new archive your library has access to will provide many of the same articles, and some newspapers - too few, sadly - have searchable, online archives. My point about Houghton meriting has more to do with the fact that people who were well-known 2 or 3 decades ago sometimes get deleted simply because too few editors have access to newspaper archives; whereas contemporary notables are easy to source. I may or may not be able to make time to go back and take a more careful look at Houghton, source, and improve her article but I certainly saw enough to think that someone definitely should do so (or, do some good archive searches before recommending deletion.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A catchphrase from a presidential campaign spokesperson. WP:NOTNEWS. Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT.

  • Keep - Passes WP:GNG easily with significant coverage in numerous independent reliable sources. But that is not enough. Passing GNG only means it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article. On this topic we absolutely should also consider WP:EVENT, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL, and base our decision on existing coverage in reliable sources. And after much review of the voluminous existing coverage, my conclusion is that the topic passes WP:EVENT. The coverage of how the event sparked the creation of the Guac The Vote campaign from the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was the 'final straw' that made me decide to move this article into mainspace. -- 1Wiki8...........................

  • Keep or Re-draftify. News coverage persists to this very day (e.g. [13], non-UTC time). It still may be too soon to deduce whether or not this may have lasting significance, or if it will end up being a WP:NOTNEWS situation. A great deal of sources have covered the topic, so it does meet WP:GNG. Including re-draftify as an option in my !vote because this was moved from draft to main namespace on 12 September 2016 (diff), perhaps prematurely. Another option is to selectively merge to another article, such as Discrimination in the United States § Discrimination against immigrants (obviously topically related), or perhaps United States presidential election, 2016, or perhaps to both.

Although this has been around a while, there are no references that support any notability. The references provided all relate to the chemical used but there is already a perfectly good article at Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane that deals with that.

This topic is not notable. Most keep votes on the talk page revolves around people liking the genre more than the subject (and mostly anonymous users at that), rather than anything substantive. All cited sources state to the effect "this is a thing" with little elaboration, and a Google search doesn't even return many relevant results. The page also appears to have a close connection to the "creator" of the genre. Either delete this or merge it into vaporwave.

  • Merge into vaporwave. It's literally just vaporwave with Simpsons visuals. There may have been a lot of reporting on it when it was new and fresh, but there's nothing significant past July 2016, when the creator said he'd stop making more videos (see WP:SUSTAINED). It's notable only in context with vaporwave, which has spawned similarly psychedelic videos. clpo13(talk) 21:14, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Had a lot of mixed feelings about this, but I'll go with Weak merge/keep due to the reasons above, but also because the amount of coverage has led to an article that, while a little short, is more than of stub length. While the "notability legacy" arguments, for lack of a better description, here aren't terrible, I can't help but feel that users in deletion discussions of other internet topic articles I've created have made their arguments regarding "significant lasting" of topics, if you will, only based on their opinion, not based on the amount of signifcant coverage as notability does and should work. Also, I have found a September 2016 Geek.com article discussing Simpsonwave, which does dispute Clpo13's claim. I'll also prove the nominator wrong that I have no connection with the creator of the genre, I just wrote the article. editorEهեইдအ😎 23:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I'm not sure everyone agrees about the game being a true rivalry, notable or not, but the "Heroes game" is notable and the title, "Iowa–Nebraska football rivalry" matches other rivalry games in the conference. The conference, both teams, and college football media call it a rivalry game and the game is frequently referred to as the Heroes game, Heroes Trophy game, or a rivalry game. Smmurphy(Talk) 21:19, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The article needs sourcing, of course, but I think this one passes the WP:GNG bar. The first step is determining whether there is coverage of the series as a rivalry. My searches show that such coverage is abundant. Examples include the following: (1) Associated Press ("From the moment Nebraska joined the Big Ten, the league tried to make Iowa its biggest rival. The conference didn't need to try so hard. . . . his comments are indicative of just how heated the series between these border-state rivals has become in recent years."); (2) Quad-City Times ("there is a growing border rivalry between the two schools . . . 'In football, it’s pretty big,' Iowa center Adam Woodbury said of the Iowa-Nebraska rivalry."); (3) Sioux City Journal ("Iowa-Nebraska football rivalry spills into Sioux City politics"); (4) The Grand Island Independent ("Iowa-NU rivalry heats up in a hurry"). In fairness, some articles question whether it's too soon to call it a true rivalry. See (5) Ottumwa Courier ("Iowa hopes to make Nebraska game true rivalry"). Other factors to be weighed include: (i) border-state series like this are more likley to be considered rivalries; (ii) series competitiveness is so-so with Nebraska winning 29 of 46 matches; (iii) existence of a trophy (Heroes Trophy awarded to winner, see here) adds to the bona fides of the claim to rivalry status; (iv) antiquity of the series dating back to 1891 with 21 games prior to 1920 also adds to the bona fides of the rivalry claim; (v) frequency of play (46 games with long gaps from 1947-78 and 1983-98, but they are now in the same division and play every year); (vi) prominence of the programs (six claimed national titles, five of them Nebraska's, since 1958).

Really? WP:ATD, a policy, "suggests" you do due diligence before nominating an article for deletion. But if you're not willing, no problem. I'm sure we can improve it so you can withdraw the nomination. Hmlarson (talk) 05:25, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since you seem to be getting snotty, I guess it depends on what you mean by due diligence. Did I go over to Wikiproject Olympics to see whether Mackenzie Soldan was covered in the guidelines? Yes I did and he failed notability. Did I double check WikiProject Tennis Guidelines to check on Mackenzie Soldan? Yes and he failed notability. Did I check WP:NSPORT? Yep, again a big fat fail. So I also looked at the article sourcing to see if it passed. I concluded it did not. So take your attitude elsewhere. If you feel you have the sources to convince others that he easily passes GNG, again that's cool.

WP:CRYSTAL, as the film is as yet unreleased, and additionally fails WP:NFILM for lack of coverage. Submission to a category for consideration for the Oscars in 2017 is not anywhere close to either winning or nomination, and is the only thing being covered about this film.

MSJapan , why did you nominate this for AfD only 40 minutes of article creation? [18]--Oakshade (talk) 19:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Film projects are typically deleted if they're in the development stage and there is only speculation of future production, not already-shot upcoming films simply because they haven't been released yet. (I dare the nom to AfD Rogue One as it is also "is as yet unreleased.") WP:CRYSTAL is for unverifiable speculation of topics, not verified topics such as this. Not surprisingly it took less than three seconds to find in-depth coverage of this film, no less verification. [19][20][21][22] As it takes at least a couple of minutes to set up an AfD, it seems WP:BEFORE was not adhered to. --Oakshade (talk) 19:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly looked, and I even looked in the Portuguese media. All of that was more or less is "it was submitted to the Oscars." A lot of that material you've found, by the way, isn't about the film, but the story behind it, which was also a book, so the validity as film coverage is debatable. The second Variety article is also a press release. So is one in-depth article going to be sufficient? I'd also point out that the only substantial source, an interview with the director of a film about his own sister based on a book by his other sister, isn't particularly "independent of the subject." I nominated this for AfD because the editor created his account, added stuff to the list articles, and then created an article simply to support that (incorrect) addition. This is not Rogue One and has nowhere near the pre-release coverage of Rogue One. Don't try to pull an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument out here. and just to put the nail in it, the same editor took the theatrical poster off IMDB and tried to upload it to Commons on a CC-BY-SA-4 license. So yeah, there's no AGF here. MSJapan (talk) 20:07, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you actually did followed WP:BEFORE, why did you claim "lack of coverage" and that the Oscar submission " is the only thing being covered about this film"? I'm not buying that BEFORE was followed. Just by you're incorrect analysis of the sources provided, you're admitting your entire deletion rationale was incorrect. Variety pieces of course have coverage about the development of the film and it being based on the book. That's coverage and that's why Variety, a film and televsion trade publication, covered it. And what's with this contention about the 2nd Variety article and the Chief International Correspondent John Hoperwell writing a press release? Do you have any actual evidence of this or have you just committed a WP:BLP violation of reporter John Hoperwell? And for the article that includes an interview, once again a nom attempts to save a losing AfD by claiming an interview is not "coverage." Interviews are coverage per WP:GNG. The publishers (sources) who decided to conduct the interviews are independent of the subjects. It's only claims by the interviewees that have to be considered not independent, not the independent publishers. If you have any evidence that Variety, Stuff.co.nz and Grupo Record (R7) are not independent of this article topic, we'll talk. Your'e wrong on every level with this one. Why are you still keeping this AfD going? --Oakshade (talk) 21:16, 12 September 2016 (UTC

  • Keep I just don't see the point of deleting it. It hasn't been released yet but even now, this and this to me to be solid English-language sources, and then there's all the Portuguese language coverage of the film being Brazil's foreign-language Oscar submission, which, whether it gets a nomination or not, is generating significant coverage.

Notability -- an unremarkable SS captain; significant RS coverage cannot be found.

This article is one of roughly 500 similar stub articles created by editor Jim Sweeney in the span of about three months in late 2008 to early 2009.

The topic of the notability of Knight's Cross winners has been extensively discussed here: Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles; the summary in this subsection (Part 3). There's currently no consensus that a single award of the Knight's Cross meets SOLDIER1 due to the facts that not all were awarded for valour, and that too many were awarded (over 7,000).

Note: the multi-volume source referenced below --Franz THOMAS & Günter WEGMANN (Hrsg.) Die Ritterkreuzträger der Deutschen Wehrmacht 1939-1945 Osnabrück 1985 -- would not have information on the subject, since he was the member of the Waffen-SS not the Wehrmacht. So the assertion by editors below that the series will have "several pages" on the subject is not based on fact. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- I don't believe the above to be a valid argument in a deletion discussion as WP:SOLDIER (which is a project-specific essay) does not trump WP:GNG, which still needs to be demonstrated via significant RS coverage. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:46, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given that the GNG is just a guideline, I'm not so sure about that. At any rate, what about Franz Thomas & Günter Wegmann's multi-volume "Die Ritterkreuzträger der Deutschen Wehrmacht, 1939-1945"? I strongly suspect that it's far more than a simple listing of recipients like Fellgiebel. I do not believe that you have exhausted the German-language sources, especially since I'm fairly certain that many are not available electronically. Or Mark Yerger's books in English that cover various units and other awards that the KC winners might also be in? You may think that he is biased or not, but the basic biographical facts would still be reliable, IMO. The taint from any bias does not extend to simple facts.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I am fine deleting articles about subjects that don't meet GNG or SOLDIER. I oppose this current round of de-Nazification, however. With a citation to prove award of the Knight's Cross the subject meets SOLDIER. I know not everyone agrees but I'm not trying to systematically undo Jim Sweeney's work, either. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- the above commentary does not provide policy-based considerations.
  • @Sturmvoge: in the case of a single KC award, the claim to notability is based on only one even (WP:BIO1E). Even if we were to accept Thomas and Wegman as RS (of which I'm not convinced), this would result in a WP:PSEUDO biography. The number of sources does not really matter, if the claim to notability is based on only one event. Yerger, for example, is likely to be drawing on the same sources as Thomas & Wegman did.
  • @Chris Troutman: SOLDIER is a MILHIST essay, and Wiki projects do not decide notability; only the community as a whole. Moreso, frequently awarded highest awards (Knight's Cross) do not imply the same level of notability as rarely awarded highest awards (Victoria Cross). In this particular case, even the project members acknowledge that not all KC awards meet SOLDIER1, as only a portion of them were awarded for valour; the rest were for given for successful completion of missions (aka "successful military leadership"), and would not qualify under SOLDIER1. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:10, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Authors such as Dörr, Thomas and Wegmann provide a detailed coverage of the military career based on the military records of the German National Archives. This information includes trainings, units assigned to and commands held and date of promotions and other awards presented. In many instances, if this information was not lost, they also state who, for what actions, and who approved the nomination of the KC.
This does not sound like "significant coverage" to me; this is still BLP1E situation and a brief bio, using which would result in a WP:PSEUDO biography.
Separately, I've seen Thomas and Wegmann used in dozens of articles to cite various awards, but I don't recall seeing them cited for biographical data. See, for example: Clemens-Heinrich Graf von Kageneck or Felix Adamowitsch. Collection of materials by Charles Hamilton's Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich does include information on low-ranking soldiers; see for example this edit on the subject's article.
So stating that Thomas & Wegmann will have this coverage is an insufficient argument in this discussion, as the source has not been produced and the extent of biographical data is unknown. Similar to TonyBallioni, I do not believe that, even if the Thomas & Wegmann entry was produced, it would be sufficient to meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:17, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You have a better argument regarding the lack of multiple sources, but have failed to establish that they don't exist, especially in German. You believe that Thomas & Wegman won't, based solely on a snippet view; I simply don't know, but until that is established one way or another there is no reason to delete this. And your claim of WP:BIO1E is meaningless given that the vast majority of MoH or VC winners are notable only because of their medal.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:19, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To quote MSJapan from aforementioned discussion: "According to the KC article, there were 7,161 awards of this decoration in six years. That's four times as many in that period as there have ever been for the VC, and twice as many as there have ever been for the US MOH. (...) Recipients of the KC often have no other sourcing for them other than their KC citation, which is not saying much when we compare it to the sources we have on VC/MOH recipients. Therefore, there's a preponderance of evidence that indicates that it doesn't seem to be prestigious enough to merit inclusion based solely on receiving it." This comes down to the rarity of the award; it's much more likely to have sufficient coverage when the award is rare, such as MOH or VC, vs the mass award such as the KC.
The prestige of the KC system as a whole also deteriorated as the war progress. For the full years that the Oak Leaves (2nd award to those who already had a KC) were in effect, the following numbers were awarded:
50 in 1941
111 in 1942
192 in 1943
328 in 1944
194 in the first four months of 1945.
The rate of award was almost doubling every year. At the rate the High Command was going, they would have awarded 600 Oak Leaves by the end of 1945, almost as much as in the three preceding years.
Thus it's understandable why there's no sufficient coverage on all of the 7000+ recipients. The aforementioned discussion was exhaustive and Thomas & Wegmann was all that was put forth for the low-ranking officers and soldiers. What's available is generally from WP:QS authors, such as Kurowski, Agte, Landwehr, etc. No better sources have been presented at this AfD and the Wilhelm Beck AfD, and I believe they do not exist.

  • Delete not notable for anything outside of the Knights Cross, and I do not belive that consititues enough notability to meet WP:GNG in itself. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Debus was a member of the Waffen-SS. Therefore I would assume that he is not included in Thomas' & Wegmann's work on the Ritterkreuzträger of the Wehrmacht. One would have to turn to Ernst-Günther Krätschmer's Die Ritterkreuzträger der Waffen-SS (1st ed., 1955) instead. That book is strongly biased, to say the least. Krätschmer, a Waffen-SS veteran himself, and Paul Hausser, who wrote the preface, tried to promote a positive image of the Waffen-SS. Debus is also mentioned about five times in Peter Strassner's Europäische Freiwillige (1968), which deals with the 5. SS-Panzer-Division "Wiking". Historian Karsten Wilke, who wrote his Ph.D. thesis about the HIAG (veteran's organization of the Waffen-SS), characterized this book as apologetic. Needless to say, that the respective publishers are considered to be on the extreme right. Strassner's book was published by Munin, the HIAG's own publishing house. These are not, what I would consider to be reliable sources. First, because of their unbalanced and ideologically distorted representation of facts. Second, because they don't meet basic historiographical standards. That kind of literature is special interest.--Assayer (talk) 23:38, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Please allow me to correct some assumptions made here. Thomas' & Wegmann's work on recipients of the Knight's Cross has multiple volumes and series and is covers recipients who served as infantry men, pioneers, etc. These books include both soldiers who served in the Heer of the Wehrmacht and in the Waffen-SS. As mentioned before, these books are based on the analysis and research of the German Federal Archives and are endorsed by the Military History Research Office (MGFA). The MGFA is the central federal institution in Germany for all questions about German military history. Does this meet the criteria of Wikipedia? I leave this question to the more knowledgeable editors here. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- this is interesting; I checked the "Franz THOMAS u. Günter WEGMANN (Hrsg.) Die Ritterkreuzträger der Deutschen Wehrmacht 1939-1945" entries at Sources referenced by Scherzer in the above discussion, and the subheadings for the series include (1) infantry; (2) paratroops (Fallschirmjäger); (3) air defense forces (Flugabwehrtruppe); (4) mountain troops (Gebirgstruppe). Many of the SS divisions were Panzer / Panzergrenadier. Were there perhaps other books not included in the listing then? Or do they include Waffen-SS under Deutschen Wehrmacht? Do the books contain anything specific on the subject of the article under discussion? K.e.coffman (talk) 07:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I know Scherzer's work and it is RS. I don't know the other work by Thomas' & Wegmann and therefore rely on others above for statements of their work. A problem I see with a number of these bio articles is a lack of detail as to the event or events which led to the awarding of the Knight's Cross. And clearly in this case given the man was a member of a combat division and received the award "while second in command of the 5th SS Reconnaissance Battalion in May 1944", shows that this is not one that was awarded for any political based reasons. Does not anyone have any RS source to add to the event or events which gives readers more detail? I don't have a source which would since I don't have my copy of: Schneider, Jost W. (1993). Their Honor Was Loyalty: An Illustrated and Documentary History of the Knight's Cross Holders of the Waffen-SS and Police, 1940-1945, any more. Otherwise, as I state above, at this point, not seeing notability for stand alone article. Kierzek (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- at this point, no new sources have been presented; and I don't believe they exist. Even if Thomas & Wegmann covered the subject, it still does not overcome the lack of multiple RS and WP:BIO1E, and the fact that such coverage would be run-of-the-mill: decorations, service postings, etc. This is bio article that falls too far short of GNG and is not saved by SOLDIER due to the mass nature of the KC awards (compare to only 181 Victoria Crosses awarded during WWII). K.e.coffman (talk) 08:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment According to the information I have found on a booksellers's page, Thomas & Wegmann do indeed include recipients of the Waffen-SS. Whether Debus is actually included in the respective volume "Teil VIIIa", I do not know. I would question, however, that the MGFA "endorsed" these books. I found a single review of the second volume of this series by Florian Berberich in the MGFA's journal MGZ 40 (1986), pp. 276f. He considers it to be an important reference work for soldiers and for people interested in military history, and suggests that the work could be helpful even for military historians. What sounds convincing at first glance, needs to be put in perspective, though. In 1990, when reviewing another publication by Thomas (and Manfred Dörr) on the bearers of the Close Combat Clasp in Gold, Reinhard Stumpf of the MGFA made clear that for the time being the research on military symbols would remain to be the domain of enthusiasts outside of professional historiography. (MGZ 47/1990, p. 298) More recently, historians like Sönke Neitzel, Peter Lieb and Christian Hartmann have tried to utilize statistics of military awards as an indicator for combat value of individual units, but, as Roman Töppel has shown (Das Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes und der Kampfwert militärischer Verbände, Ztschr Heereskunde 446/2012), to receive a Knight's Cross a soldier needed more than to be "extremely brave on the battlefield". To be considered for the award he also needed a superior officer who would propose him. In his biography of Jochen Peiper, historian Jens Westemeier described Peiper's favoritism concerning these proposals and spoke of "Ordenskameraderie". For example, Westemeier calls the award for Georg Preuß "a bad joke".
To cut a long story short, even though it might be possible to reconstruct the military careers of each and every Knight's Cross recipients, these biographies present a distorted picture of the actual events (i.e., if the provision "played an important role in a significant military event" in WP:Soldier, is to be based on historical fact instead of Nazi propaganda). Veteran's organizations, particularly of the Waffen-SS, have based their image as an elite on their Knight's Cross Recipients. Collectors of militaria have an interest in such biographies (which is the reason, why Thomas & Wegmann reproduce bestowals documents). But on the whole, individual Knight's Cross recipients like Debus did never reveive any WP:SIGCOV by historiography, let alone in the broader public. --Assayer (talk) 00:50, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Assayer: Thanks for the additional information -- this confirms to me that Thomas & Wegmann is not quite RS. Likewise, I've found that there's no reliable historiography on individual KC holders, unless they are notable for other things, such as for being high level commanders or for their post-war careers.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:86.137.93.16 with the following rationale "removal prob notable exhibit in museum". Unfortunately a single exhibition at a museum does not, IMHO, suffice to pass WP:ARTIST. The museum in question is a notable institution, through not particularly famous (pl:Muzeum Sztuki w Łodzi). I do believe that on Polish Wikipedia having a single exhibition in a museum like this sufficies, but I think the English Wikipedia criteria are stricter. Still, I'd be interested in hearing other opinions on this - and after seeing them, I may propose adding a clarification to WP:ARTIST on how many and what exhibitions are a sign of notability, something that I feel would be worth clarifying.

  • Comment I'm surprised to see that the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź has only a stub in English Wikipedia, but it is (as one of the oldest museums of contemporary art in the world, not just in Poland) unquestionably notable. A solo exhibition there is a very significant event. Mduvekot (talk) 23:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The subject meets WP:ARTIST 4(c): has won significant critical attention. Reviews in Artform, Neue Zeitschrift für Musik and several books (I have cited Explorations in Art and Technology) establish notability. Ox's CV lists a number of publications about or including the artist, which I take to mean that adequate sources do (appear to) exist. Mduvekot (talk) 00:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This individual is only known for a single act of vandalism. This is a clear case of WP:BLP1E. Although the event was a news story, the references are really about some trees, not the subject of this article. Gnome de plume (talk) 17:29, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And that article gives the reason why we shouldn't define this person by this one action. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Almost everything starts with a single act. 9-11, John Hinckley, lee harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman, etc. Updyke made news afterwards by appearing in several documentaries, made news repeatedly after this including 30 for 30, and has continued on to happily ride this act.

  • Delete per nomination, per 86.17.222.157 and per WP:PERPETRATOR. The act may have received substantial coverage, but it all seems to have been news about the act, and speculation on why he did it, rather than about the man himself. Hinckley, Oswald and Chapman, on the other hand, all received substantial and lasting biographical coverage, and not just about the single acts that they're known for.

Fails to meet WP: Notability (organizations and companies). The article subject is a developer of homebrew video games for defunct platforms. No claim to notability and no sources. Was a contested WP: PROD back in 2009, but no justification was given by the contesting editor. Martin IIIa (talk) 17:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete per CSD A7. I don't see a claim of significance here, much less notability. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete They have had one or two games reviewed in some of the more obscure retro gaming magazines which might of helped notability however I feel they have failed to have any impact on the industry what so ever and remain in the home-brew area. If you look at the about page of their website it clearly states "Songbird Productions was founded in 1999 by well-known Atari fan and hobby developer Carl Forhan to develop and publish games for Atari consoles, primarily the Lynx and Jaguar." So ye, it doesn't qualify for wikipedia what so ever. Govvy (talk) 11:21, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Lack of references, no citations, mo sign of notability, unsectioned, looks like it was copypasted, and yeah not even a single link.

As WP:REF says, "Wikipedia's Verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space", then this article already violates it with the fact that here are no references. If this is such an autobigoraphy of himself or people he have relations with who is not notable, then this should be removed as per WP:AB.

The article also doesn't state any links, either within Wikipedia or not. This therefore, challenges the notability of the said person. If you search the person using Google, pages about him would appear, but the creator has not stated external links and references, as well as putting citations without any link or text.

It also has very incorrect grammar, punctualization and capitaliation. It is also unsectioned, therefore making the information very confusing as it would look like as it was one topic about Ingo Beyer von Morgenstern.

As WP:BLP says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.", which puts the aritcle under contest for deletion as per WP:BLP | Democratics Talk stat: Open | My Guestbook Here 09:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC) [reply]

  • Keep - Some of the sources Megalibrarygirl links to (and those in the article) look pretty good. I'm a little concerned that some of them look to have connections to the organization itself and its participants, but regardless, there's enough material published by respected third party publishers to write an article. I also noticed that the official site (need to go through archive.org because the domain is now a spam site) isn't even available in English, which suggests sources in other languages.

Subject neither meets WP:GNG nor WP:PROF and there is no hope for him unless he grabs some honorary chair or turns out to be a serial killer.

  • Keep This is an indisputably notable topic, just as is Poverty in the United States. AfD is not cleanup. Instead of expending energy trying to delete an article about a notable topic, I suggest that the nominator spend a few minutes reading a few of the readily available reliable sources about the topic, and then summarize and reference those sources, thereby improving the article.

It would be nice if the authors had bothered to write an article that was not a disjointed personal essay. I know nothing about this subject and do not consider myself competent to rewrrite the article, It has required rewriting since it was written, that's evident from the first AfD. But maybe this is one of those topics where we are doomed to have a terrible article forever because nobody competent to write a good one, can be bothered. Guy (Help!) 07:14, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Clearly notable topic. The prose is low quality, but not so bad as to warrant WP:TNT. If you were to improve this page, you could use the structure currently in place, and even a large amount of the current text. Deletion is absolutely not warranted here.

  • Delete I couldn't find anything about them which resembles an article in a RS source, except for some blog-reviews/interviews. So they fail WP:GNG. They are also far too small and new to pass WP:BAND either. They have just a released a few songs. They don't have a proper homepage. They have a music video on youtube which only has about 3,100 views. They are not played in radio stations or something similar significant. So I guess its fair to say its to early to have an article for them. Dead Mary (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a group of articles covering individual seasons played by the the University of Florida's softball team from 1997 to 2007. These articles were created over the course of a few days in 2009 by User:Ocdmuch and have not seen any noteworthy edits in the ensuing seven years.

The guideline for articles about individual sports seasons is WP:NSEASONS and it states that "articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players." These articles are exactly that: a game schedule with a win/loss record, player rosters and statistics. There's no prose and what references there are are almost entirely dead links.

Even if these articles were improved with prose, they're never going to be as encyclopedic as say, 1986 New York Mets season because these are all years in which the Florida Gators accomplished nothing of note, so there's no hope that the articles will ever meet WP:NSEASONS' allowance for "national championship season[s] at the top collegiate level".

Comment.

  • Delete - I don't think we have the reliable source depth that's necessary for a biographical article. His work has gotten discussed in various blogs and the like, fine, but that's not truly encyclopedic. I also support deletion. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:09, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There is in-depth noted coverage, and the finding now is., Although these articles appear to be similar, their publish ID numbers, article ID numbers, dates of articles published, are all published at different times and platforms, cited by notable news and media referencing an "Emmy Award" win, which is recognized in prior (commets above, July 10, 2009 publication) as "Notable" and recognized, referenced and cited through Wikipedia articles. This is after all, an Emmy Award win, and did actually happen and cited by notable references in several published articles, multiple times and multiple publications. If any other editors are looking for the difference in these published article IDs and dates, you can see the difference Seekonk School herein one of the other publications, released on a different platform, location, and published dates. The standout, notariety, and the significance of why this article should remain, is this documentary actually become part of a "school curriculum" used for education, and also used by state and federal law enforcement agencies, to educate teens, making its mark in history by independent film documentary, being incorporated and utilized as a state , town and federal resource. Reference, Seekonk Massachusetts, The Impact of Your Choice is apparently released in several separate publications. This cited and referenced publication is from August 7, 2009. Singsingery (talk) 01:37, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've done a little more in-depth research about the Emmy award winning documentary, "The Impact of Your Choice". There are substantial citations from State and Federal agencies referencing the this documentary and it's significant role as an educational resource and Emmy Award achievement. This documentary's has become a widely used resource, nationally. Here are just a few links files from news, state and federal government acknowledgement and citations. News in the State of R.I. [27]. Fall 2007 Edition - Rhode Island Department of Corrections - RI.gov [28]. Superintendent's Annual Report - East Providence School District [29]. Singsingery (talk) 03:09, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please only vote once. You are making a case for the documentary here, but the AfD is for the artist who contributed a song to the soundtrack of the documentary. The documentary didn't become part of a curriculum because of the song or the artist. Fram (talk) 07:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm sorry about the the extra vote text, it was meant to be a comment. As far as the extra added in-depth research on the Documentary, it was and has been mentioned throughout the conversation and debate here, the validity of both. -The documentary, and the artist, in question., In the understanding that one claim of each, (the artist and the documentary), support the other.. -Listed and citing the artist as "original contributions", which takes part in creating the entire project . So again, one claim directly supports the other claim. The stronger case, claim, cites, and contribution of the Documentary itself, makes any claim of anyone's involvement and contribution in "creating" that piece of work, is an integral part of the creation's whole, facilitating the success, achievements and mission of the of these documentary. The artist and subject has a significant amount, and enough of an apparent "contribution" to the documentary, to be noted, cited and referenced for his "original" work and "creative" contribution facilitating Emmy win, in several publications. I'm not sure if you found some evidence through your research claiming that the artist did "not" have any contribution to the success, Emmy win, or the documentary becoming a widely used and sought after resource? I'm only asking because, your comment is stating that direct projection, after it (Emmy win citing), and the subject of this article, have been cited, recognized and referenced several times. If so, I'm just wondering if you could reference that finding in your next comments. Thank you. Singsingery (talk) 08:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While I obviously can't find sources that explicitly state that the song did not contribute, that's proving a negative. But there's plenty of evidence from the omission of any mention of the song or artist from articles about the documentary. The three bolded sources in your comment above are a case in point, as not one of these (If I checked correctly) mentions the song or artist, but still you use them to advocate keeping an article on the artist. Well, the second and third don't even seem to mention the documentary either, so I'm not sure what they are meant to show. Fram (talk) 12:24, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It seems the "majority" of the references you're referring to, most of the creators and contributors were omitted, as this article and files are a "mission statement" only, rather than a news and accrediting platform.. The places where the "news" seemed appropriate and should have been, was actually listed, cited and referenced multiple times in above mentioned and cited articles. This documentary and it's creators, have been cited and referenced multiple times, supporting the claim of all information regarding the artist and subject, without any evidence to deny, debunk or facilitate the deletion of this page and article. Singsingery (talk) 08:45, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read our notability guidelines like WP:BIO? That the information in the article is true and verifiable isn't sufficient, the subject (in this case, the artist) must have received significant, indepth attention in reliable, independent sources. Being mentioned in an article about a different subject (like the documentary) isn't enough by far. Fram (talk) 12:54, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Neither here in this discussion nor in the article itself can I see evidence of notability. Mentions, tangential mentions, endorsements yes, all of those, but nothing that indicates any significant notability from reliable sources. This looks like severe over-hype - "Me thinks the lady doth....etc. etc".  Velella  Velella Talk   15:13, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Hmmm.. Im not sure why you're not seeing it. I just revisited the above referenced source files .. Page 24, within Superintendent and added curriculum. And Page 8, "Addressing DUI" in The State of Rhode Island department of corrections. Singsingery (talk) 09:16, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. They indeed mention the documentary, for some reason "search" didn't return this. The main problem remains, neither of these mentions the artist (who is the subject of this deletion discussion, not the documentary!). Fram (talk) 13:21, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Yes, you're quite right. But there, they shouldn't be., -as these are mission statements and not a platform for credits of creation. This was merely an entry of why and how this original work, (referenced in "original composition and created works" by the subject article), was utilized and resources facilitating significant meaning behind the documentary's mission, warranting it a Winning Emmy Award. Within this understanding., This Documentary does in-fact incorporate creative works and original compositions, by the subject and article, and cited by news articles in above mentioned references, and in page references. This in itself, is, are, and continues to be the the "cited and noted facts"., This process exists for exactly this reason. Thank you for your feedback.. Singsingery (talk) 09:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Here is yet another cited resource, regarding and crediting the artist/subject of the article, for his direct and significant contribution of "Original Works" for the Emmy Award "win" of "The Impact of your Choice"., This crediting was directly from the producer for this documentary, during an interview heard here, on July 16, 2009 (forward interview to 49:00), on Dreamvisions Radio Network , (Wikipedia Sourced) [Interview with Deborah Hoch Producer July 16, 2009, 10:35 am] Singsingery (talk) 19:56, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair the first reason that I thought of nominating this article for deletion was that when I came across it there was one source, IMDb, which does not meet the guidelines for reliable sources of Wikipedia. Thought of another way, IMDb tries to be an undifferentiated total directory of everyone who has every appeared in a professionally made film, and that may be putting their inclusion criteria more tightly than they are meant to be, whereas Wikipedia has inclusion criteria far more stringent than "has appeared in a film somewhere". I did do a search and found another source, but I highly doubt it would pass muster as a reliable source, and saying it provides indepth coverage of Durkin would be a bit much. Having reviewed the list of Durkin's appearances, they consist of one episode appearances in TV shows or bit parts in marginally notable movies like Tammy and the T-Rex. The one exception is her role in Leprechaun 2. However our guidelines for actors say we need two significant roles, not just one. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:38, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I do not have an opinion since I have no idea what is usual with regard to fictional characters in popular TV series, but I can see that this article that has had many editors over many years. I can also see that this character is discussed in major daily newspapers in the context of this soap opera, and I suggest that the editor who created this page @Spanish lullaby: and those editors who made substantive additions (albeint most edits were made by IPs or by editors long vanished) to article be notified of this AFD and perhaps invited to source it@Chadoz, TAnthony, and FruitMonkey:.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:27, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, little interest in this article, I just updated it to remove a dab to Rachel Barrett. FruitMonkey (talk) 18:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory: Thank you for your comment! If you find any major daily newspapers that discuss this character, please post them here as it can help to decide whether or not the character has notability or not. The guidelines for the notability for a fictional character can be found here, and the general guidelines apply to fictional characters from every medium, including television. One important thing to determine while looking at the sources discussing this character in the context of the show is whether or not the character is being discussed beyond singular mentions in the context of plot or the actress's credits. Just so you know, newspaper recaps of episodes including the character do not support notability. I personally have not found much information (as I was thinking about expanding this article in the past), but I would encourage you to post any sources here.

I found a bunch of plot recaps in major dailies in a quick search, but I didn't look very hard, not past the first page of hits on a news archive search.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:40, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory: Thank you for your response. I have refined the news archive search by adding the name of the soap opera "Passions" and found only plot recaps in the major dailies. I only found one reference in HighBeam, but it was a plot recap. I have only found references to Katherine Crane as a brief reference during episode recaps, a part of a long list of characters from the show, or an aside about Elizabeth Storm or Leigh Taylor-Young's career. I am sure you know this already, but I just want to remind you that some of the hits from a quick search may be for articles/information outside the show as I can imagine the name "Katherine Crane" either referring to a real person or something else. The closest thing to sources I could find is the following: 1 and 2, but I do not believe it is enough to warrant a separate article for the character. Aoba47 (talk) 22:05, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I was using proquest, "Katherine Crane" + Passions. Thing is, I never edit on soap operas, and not often on fictional characters of any kind at AFD (I tend to stay away from topics where my ignorance is near total), so I wanted to give folks who edit soaps a fair chance to make a case. After all, the article has been year for years and has had a lot of editors. If anyone sources this, feel free to flag me. Otherwise,
  • merge to article on fictional Crane family. I ran a news archives search, and failed to see any notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:28, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@E.M.Gregory: I greatly appreciate that. I feel the same, and tend to stay away from topics that I am completely unfamiliar with to avoid making any mistakes. And thank you pinging all of the people involved with the page. I should have done that originally, so I apologize for the oversight on my part. I agree that all the editors who contributed to this page should get a fair chance to make their case, as they might have something that proves notability that I did not find (you can find a lot of stuff through archived websites so you never know for sure).

Also, few enlisted men had documentation of their service, especially on the Western frontier, or in dealing with Native American leaders such as Cornstalk.

OK, but except for the Roanoke Times article, which is about a girl and her scout troop, don't all the other references constitute original research? The point of our notability guidelines is to provide an objective way of determining notability, which is basically people are notable if qualified sources say they're notable. The resources produced for this article would thrill me if I were doing genealogical research on my family, but I am not convinced they prove the subject's notability. ubiquity (talk) 22:32, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- the article is almost entirely cited to primary sources, which do not help establish notability. This was the best I was able to find, mentioning the subject as a Revolutionary War soldier, but being mostly about the son: Floyd County. The subject does not meet GNG per available sources.

  • Delete I agree that his should qualify under G8 speedy. This is a list of episodes from a blog whose article was deleted as non notable. This is definitely a page "dependent on a deleted page".

  • Delete per nom as there is no reason for this particular episode list to exist independently of its parent article about the video blog. I'm wary of saying CSD G8 applies, however, because whether or not a list or article is a WP:SPLIT, dependent topic, or simply related can be a question of judgment to be determined case by case. I think it would be an expansion of G8 to apply it here, and it is far afield of the examples given there. The dependent page must be functionally dependent (as an article's talk page is to the article), not merely dependent in its subject or content. postdlf (talk) 18:39, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Over the top promotion flooded with linkspam and primary sources. Only sources worth thinking about are MTV and Vice. MTV has her as part of a reality show so are not exactly independent. That leaves Vice, more accurately Motherboard, one individual source. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:19, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is also the "pophatesflops" interview source that has just been added as well as a link to Christine Teigan's tweet about Unicole (Christine also being a celebrity with 2.61million followers tweeting about Unicole is further evidence of Unicole's worldwide relevance), and I don't see how the fact that MTV was a reality show (which again reached thousands of people around the world) causes it to not be a reputable or counted source? If it is not permitted to link to any personal sites for any sources of information I can understand that and will happily take those citations down but all of the information for this page is accurately compiled and relevant. Her online presence is constantly growing with more citations forthcoming and she is presently widely known by thousands of fans across the globe which is evident by the citations already included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Realmagician (talkcontribs) 07:22, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From author

Hi, I understand, that the problem is that I work for the owner, however I made the article only with facts, there is no promotional materials (except screenshots maybe) in the text. Text describes how well game performed and how is it played. As for reliable sources you mentioned, that you need reviews - there are 110000 reviews in google playmarket, yes it's not from a one big source, but it's the real people accounts commenting on the game. Please consider to keep our article, as it's a notable project in many points. And these points are:

  • Best quality graphics in similar games category (even Clash of Clans graphics are simplier)
  • Cross-platform availability (unlike Clash of Clans again, the game is available also for pc/mac users, not only mobile)
  • Multi-language - even though some translations are still being worked on, there are 5 complete manual translations.
  • And well as Google Play Market says the game reached more than a million, but less than 5 million downloads.

As for the NinjaKiwi being mentioned as the developer in Play market - the game is being moved to our account, as the contract with NinjaKiwi has ended. So they are actually publishers. I can provide proof within a month, after the completion of transfer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tyurenkov (talkcontribs) 12:21, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia strongly discourages COI editing, but it's not forbidden. The bigger problem is depth of coverage in the media, which Wikipedia uses as its inclusion criteria. Topics which haven't been the subject of "significant coverage" are routinely deleted, though what this phrase means exactly is up to editor interpretation. For pop culture, such as video games, it's often reviews by professional journalists. Number of downloads, user reviews, and features generally don't affect the outcome. We had to draw the line somewhere, and this is where we drew it. Articles like the above Adweek source carry some weight, but that one is basically a glorified press release that says "someone released a video game". The best way to demonstrate notability is to locate published reviews from professional journalists. They don't need to be online or in English, but if there's no coverage, we don't really have anything to say about the topic. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a catalog of every game ever made, but there are already websites that do that, such as Wikia and MobyGames. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:27, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, how much time do I have to improve the sources? I believe we need an article on wikipedia, so I'm gonna put some effort in it. Can the page be drafted until then, not deleted? I wouldn't be happy to write it down all again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tyurenkov (talkcontribs) 19:14, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussions usually last for one week, but they can be extended up to twice, for a total of three weeks. It could be moved to draft space or your user space. I'd be fine with that, personally. It seems entirely possible that this could eventually become notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:06, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, and last question, after I add more info and sources, do I have to inform anyone anywhere to check the page again? Or how is it works? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tyurenkov (talkcontribs) 08:56, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The easiest way to alert people that you've made improvements to the article is to simply say so here. Luckily, there's a lot of help available for writing video game articles at WikiProject Video games, including a list of sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - As of this relist, it appears that the article author has added multiple reviews by sources with editorial control, which meets our WP:GNG. I'm satisfied for notability. Fieari (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Fieari: Did you even read the article and check the sources? The only website used that is on the list of reliable video game sources is Pocket Gamer and that article is not even a review.
• The Pocket Gamer quote is not a review. It's just a sentence from a standard news article that briefly describes the game. There is no critical commentary whatsoever.
• Nine Over Ten is a one-man self-published blog with no indication of editorial oversight or policy. Evidently does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources.
• Mob Core is not a review either. It's just a quote taken from a product page to download the game. No critical commentary whatsoever.
• The GG citation just directs to Mob Core.
• The App4Smart reviews are written by non-staff editors. They are essentially self-published user reviews. Not reliable sources.
• For Gamehub.vn I see no indication of editorial oversight or policy. It's not even clear the article editor is a member of staff.
If you're going to participate in AfDs then put some effort in your checks. --The1337gamer (talk) 08:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1. Mob core is a pure review, there is not citation in it from a product page, also it has a version in russian http://mob-core.com/android_games/2943-bitva-za-galaktiku.html. and the reviews contains critical thinking on pros and cons.
2. Added the gg correct link, but this one is more of a citation from product page though.
3. Gamehub.vn article has logotyped images and authors profile is marked as "editor" and "admin". There are also 2 lesser articles about BFTG on this website.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tyurenkov (talkcontribs)

  • Delete - Sourcing, even after the recent efforts, largely consists of obscure/unreliable sources, or ones that don't offer significant coverage or third party coverage.

  • Weak delete Her role as head of the Association of Mormon Letters is almost enough to pass the guildeines for academics, but not quite there. We have scattered coverage, both in multiple publications taking note of her death, and the high beam search will show scattered coverage from the Deseret News. However 2 of those sources are just 1 that amounts to a "person on the street" quote because she was at the event the article was on, and another where she is just mentioned in passing as a source of something mentioned in passing in the article. The coverage of her work with the Sons of the Utah Pioneers does come to be extensive, but we only have one source on it, and would really want multiple sources. Beyond this I can find lots of references to her having done work editing, but nothing at a level that seems to truly rise to the level of notability. With the Joseph Smith Papers Project for example she was an editor, but not one of the top three overall editors, who I believe are all notable, but that is established in large part because of their work with other material.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

      • Ah, yes, sorry, you are right, I was indeed hasty and I missed the 'Sources' section below 'References'. However, now, looking at what is listed there more closely, I am still not convinced. The first item [33] looks like a library catalogue entry for her at BYU, where she worked. The second item there, [34], is her BYU faculty profile. The third item is a dead link[35]. The fourth item on the list, "Mormon Times, Dec. 8, 2009" [36] leads to the home-page of the newspaper "Desert News". I am not sure what is being referenced here. Doing a search for "Linda Hunter Adams" there produces two hits, with 1 sentence mentions of her name, in stories dated March 1, 2003 and April 13, 2009 [37], [38]. The next source listed is an Amazon.com entry for her. In my opinion, none of these sources amount to much in terms of WP:GNG. After that the 'Sources' section lists 3 obituaries, which is indeed much more substantive coverage. However, one of them, [39], appears to be a blog, even though it is hosted at the Association of Mormon Letters webpage. One other obituary [40] comes from a division BYU itself, the institution where she worked, not exactly an independent source. The last item there is an obituary in Daily Herald, a local paper [41]. From looking at this obituary, it seems clear that this is a paid obituary placed by family members, with an announcement of funeral and visitation arrangements, as is customary in these situations. Even taken together, I don't see this coverage as passing the bar of WP:GNG. Nsk92 (talk) 09:12, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft instead, because considering WP:PROF, her leadership position at BYU is enough for WP:PROF; she's not notable for WP:AUTHOR considering there's only a 100-limited number of library holdings. SwisterTwister talk 01:37, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:PROF. My concerns with the sources have already been articulated by Nsk92. There coverage is what I call trivial and the ones where the coverage is somewhat substantial are not independent sources. Accordingly, the significant coverage required is missing here. In fact, I looked up on Newspapers.com and wasn't able to find anything significant either. I'm not convinced about WP:PROF either - no significant work, or highest post in academia. The closest claim is the one about being an editor of the journal, but the WP:PROF criterion requires one to be an "editor-in-chief". Considering the lack of coverage in independent sources, I will go with a delete. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:44, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy/Draft if someone is willing to take it and work on it. If no one volunteers, I will. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:40, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was also willing to, so I thought Drafting to Draft:Linda Hunter Adams sufficed. SwisterTwister talk 06:22, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I appreciate ST and Nihonjoe's suggestions of userfy, an option we probably don't exercise enough for wikinotable but as yet undersourced entries; unfortunately though, I don't see what notability criteria this entry meets. I don't believe being a mid-level university administrator and editor is enough for an auto-pass at NACADEMIC (the closest would be criteria #8, but it does not seem like the pubs where she was top editor were major), so subject would need to pass GNG, and I think Nsk92 has done a good job explaining the current insufficiency of independent sources. If at some point someone does turn up independent sources, that would be good grounds to request the closer or another admin userfy the old entry for improvement. But so long as those sources remain hypothetical, I think delete is appropriate. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:06, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I point out that anybody can userfy by copying the source to their own sandbox or word processor. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:35, 20 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete the leadership position doesn't even begin to satisfy WP:PROF. Doesn't pass GNG either. Delete it. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:02, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is no point in userifying as she will never meet WP:PROF. he references claimed to be relevant for GNG are not independent, and there is no reason to think theat better will be found, because thee is nothing in her career which would call for it. The relevant guideline for this is NOT MEMORIAL. DGG ( talk ) 04:06, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is a point, and I will userfy it myself if the decision is to delete. I'm positive I can find enough independent sources to meet GNG, though I don't have the time at this very moment. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:45, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As found by multiple other editors, I just don't believe that she's notable. I also support deletion. I want to say as well, though, that I don't object if someone wants to work on a related draft page; that's their decision. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes to be clear I wouldn't object to that either; anyone is welcome to work on whatever they wish. I only think it's useful at the AfD level to maintain a distinction between when "delete" is the right outcome and when "userfy" is better. I think doing so is more useful to anyone considering working on it, knowing what the community thought of the entry as it stands, and it's also a helpful track record if the entry gets revived but then renominated for deletion. I don't think it's so useful to close as "userfy" if consensus is that subject isn't notable (versus consensus that subject is likely notable, just hasn't been established yet). But for sure, that shouldn't stand in the way of anyone who has access to as-yet unidentified sources that might demonstrate notability! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Little content other than a entry list, and supported only by primary sources. A search for reliable sources does not indicate this championship was ever covered in any detail, so likely does not meet notability guidelines. QueenCake (talk) 16:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Until this was nominated for deletion, I very much forgot this ever existed. The main reason for keep for something I forgot about and lost interest in editing is that it is a national drifting championship otherwise merge to European Drift Championship. Online sources may exist though I stopped bothering to work on such since I am on a cusp of retiring. Additional sources are available IIRC but in mainly in car magazines, namely Japanese Performance and Banzai. Donnie Park (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If there is significant coverage in magazines it could be a keep; at the moment though there is nothing to support the articles. I would also advise against merging to European Drift Championship, as the only content existing are individual entry lists, which don't really belong on a championship article. QueenCake (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Whilst a majority of sources no longer exists such as results I found these otherewise they gave to be in print magazines that I don't have, [42][43]

Nicole Johnson (Miss California USA)[edit]

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

The 6 sources are more or less split in half. 4 or so are about her being Miss California. 2 are from Thousand Oaks media, thus being extremly local and not much useful. another 1 or 2 appear to be personal reflection/blog pieces. The last 2 are sources that mention her, but really are about her fiance, and so do not go to show she is notable. For her to be notable for her relationship with Phelps we would need more indepth and more sustained coverage. John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It looks like the Phelps relationship is swaying the community towards "Keep"; hopefully the article will improve in the future. (Change from Delete Original comment: I edited the article in the past to remove excessive intricate detail cited to local sources, but what's left is not convincing to confirm the subject's notability. She is probably most notable for her relationship with Phelps, but a redirect there would be kind of demeaning. So I'm voting delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep  The world at large has noticed this topic in multiple ways.  The son was featured on TV just about two weeks ago, and I'm guessing now that a little research would show that Mom was also in the pictures.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:08, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Has received significant press for both her title and her relationship with Michael Phelps. PageantUpdater (talk) 00:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- what's in the article is WP:ROUTINE local coverage or trivial mentions relating to Phelps. "Receiving press" is not a guarantee for a Wikipedia article, per WP:NOTNEWS. No new sources have been presented at this AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:34, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, examining the source leaves me uncovinced that the subject meets GNG. For example:
  • Cosmopolitan -- fluffy interview
  • Brides.com/blog -- non RS as a blog
  • NYT -- good article but it's mostly about Ms Johnson's relationship with Phelps, which I don't believe establishes her individual notability for an encyclopedia
  • NY Post -- it's a tabloid as I understand, so would not be considered RS for a BLP
Perhaps she can be covered in the "Personal life" section on the Phelps article, as an alternative to deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Cosmopolitan interviews are a valid source of notability, "fluff piece" or no, given that they are published under editorial review. The NYT source is sufficiently about the subject for me as well. There seems to be wider attention as well. This all adds up, and is sufficient to establish notability for me.
