José Roel Lungay[edit]

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

The previous recent AfD was closed as No Consensus because there were no comments on it. This, as far as I can determine, is an unsourced BLP because none of the sources are actually about the subject. I can't find anything useful online that isn't actually sourced, first or second-hand, from this article itself (i.e. "Wikipedia Books LLC"). Black Kite (talk) 23:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE For procedural purposes, I am adding List of songs written by J. Roel Lungay to this afd as well. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unable to find any RS coverage. Jclemens (talk) 20:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable Catholic parish priest. This article is filled with many unreferenced personal details, and so the article is almost completely original research and is not verifiable. Accordingly, it is in violation of core content policies. I did a good faith search for acceptable sources and discovered nothing. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:18, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@NeilN, MjolnirPants, Jclemens, and Cullen328: I forgot to ping you earlier, but this afd now has a +1; I wanted to let you all know in case you guys want to amend your !vote before the afd closes. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, there are actually multiple News entries once we take off the first name. Jclemens (talk) 06:20, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see a handful of passing mentions that confirm that this person exists, Jclemens. Can you provide any links to significant coverage of this person? I am happy to change my recommendation if notability can be established. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you saw what I saw. I haven't seen enough to change my mind, but I've seen more than the "nothing" I saw before. Jclemens (talk) 07:54, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie Everett[edit]

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

Does not meet WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NBASKETBALL. This athlete was a bit player on a good team who did not receive substantial, sustained coverage as an individual. Doesn't meet WP:GNG either. Rikster2 (talk) 22:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and for what it's worth, seems like this article was written by a close friend or fanboy of Everett. Jrcla2 (talk) 04:03, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I did look for more sources and the best I got was this third-of-a-page he shares with his two brothers (and describes them as practice players). What scant other mentions there were were even more trivial (mentioning that he got into a game; listing him among many signatories on a letter denying a cheating scandal). There's really nothing encyclopedic here. Innisfree987 (talk) 03:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CURE Auto Insurance[edit]

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

Very promotional and reads like an advertorial having all the traits of (but not necessarily is) a comissioned work (COI/paid advocacy). The massive tag bombing is either to unreliable sources, sources based on press releases, or non notable awards (runner up or finalist does not amount to notability). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:53, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Most significant coverage in reliable sources is the carrier's controversial Super Bowl television ad. Meatsgains (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:PROMO. With content such as "CURE has been vocal about its philosophy that car insurance rates should be primarily based upon an applicant’s driving record..." this is strictly an advertorial page. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:56, 16 September 2016 (UTC)delete, analysis with statitsics![reply]
Delete. small company with no likely notability to be found. Any references that are more than notices are its own advertorials, or reprints of them. DGG ( talk ) 20:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a run of the mill small insurance company. Let's play statistics, folks. This company has "almost 50,000" policies for motor vehicles in New Jersey. There are almost 255 million Passenger_vehicles_in_the_United_States#Total_number_of_vehicles out of over 330 million people. There is almost one vehicle per household member in the United States, and about 70 % of households own at least one personal motor vehicle. The New Jersey MVC reports annually on the statistics (.pdf required). Depending on what statistic you are using, and when, New Jersey is the second or third most affluent state. New Jersey has almost 9 million people. Even assuming some of them don't have cars, I would guess reasonably that 70 % do. A heavily suburban and relatively affluent state, that would be conservative. In round numbers, that's 6.3 million cars, folks. The number of cars in New Jersey is proverbially huge: that's why the Jersey barrier was invented, and part of why Alcohol laws of New Jersey are so complex (to stop drunk driving). On some days, it seems like all of them converge on Fort Lee, New Jersey. That means that, in round numbers, 50,000/6,300,000 = 1 out of every 126 cars. So this little insurance company insures less than one car in a hundred in a single state. No, it's not notable. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. As a comparison, State Farm insured drivers have had about 190,000 claims just for auto-deer collisions annually. Bearian (talk) 02:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nba 2k17 locker codes[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG. Non-notable discussion of special promo codes for a soon to be released basketball simulation video game. Only source is the author's user-generated blog. Was initially tagged for speedy G11, then redirected to the game company 2K Sports and then to the more specific target of the particular game NBA 2K17 but the article author keeps restoring the article despite suggestions that the material might survive if incorporated into the game article. Bringing it here for a decision by a wider group. I'm doubtful that this even needs a redirect rather than outright deletion. Meters (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Smith (entrepreneur)[edit]

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

Blogger with no evidence of notability. Refs are advertising or press releases or blogs. Fails WP:GNG. Earlier PROD removed by a new editor with only 5 edits with no given reason. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 19:36, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What else should I add? Is Bloomberg not reputable enough (it is neither advertising, nor a press release, nor a blog)? Also, Smith is also an author of a book, not just a blog. I will attempt to add more reputable sources. Let me know if there is anything else I should be doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessicaArmstrong (talk • contribs) 19:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the Bloomberg ref is a executive profile listing. No notability associated with that. He exists. Ho claims to be an executive - no value judgements made or implied. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 19:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Okay. That makes. I'll see if I can find any better sources. Thanks for doing what you do! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessicaArmstrong (talk • contribs) 20:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Subject lacks notability and coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains (talk) 22:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no evidence of notability. The references include obviously promotional pages, a page which does no more than include Todd's name in a list of podcasts that the author of the page likes, and a company listing telling us that Todd is a member of the "Franchise Advisory Board" of the company. Google searches for information about him produced almost nothing. (I put a PROD on the article. It was removed by a brand new account which has never edited any other article.) 79.123.70.89 (talk) 14:54, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SNOW Delete considering this is essentially A7 and G11 material if it wasn't for the barely comprehensible and noticeably thin claim of "leader", this is something that would come only for PR attempts especially considering the soufces themselves are not even substance ce.

Delete - a run of the mill writer. Stub lacks reliable sources about the subject; notability is not inherited from the company he worked for. The Bloomberg listing is not in depth.Bearian (talk) 19:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, looks like a vanity page, his book might be self-published, the imprint "Success Media" (as noted on the book's Amazon listing) doesn't appear to be a real company. Montanabw^(talk) 21:34, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Google Street View in Uruguay[edit]

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

I don't see any encyclopaedic value in keeping this. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (WP:IINFO). We are not a directory to store the updates of Google Street View. (We don't have articles about other services llike Google Earth In Uruguay? Streetdirectory in Uruguay? Areas covered by "x mobile service" in Uruguay?) My point is that article like these are seriously not required. Delete this for the same reason we don't keep article about software logs. We are not a directory. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Google Street View in Jordan for a related AfD. -- Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is a meta-analysis of Google, thus essentially synthesis of a single readily accessible source. There are plenty of other ways for our readers to find such information.

Participant evolution[edit]

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

Barely-referenced neologism which even the cited sources note is barely used. No evidence of currency. Does not meet standards of WP:NEO. What sources I see in Google are occasional mentions in older transhumanist publications. Previous AFD was a "keep" in 2005, but I'm reasonably sure it doesn't measure up to 2016 standards.

Delete. Sci-fi neologism. No apparent significant use in independent sources. Joe Roe (talk) 12:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's not a complete neologism, as the term has been around for at least 20 years. A search in GBooks and GScholar showed only relatively brief mentions, not enough depth to support notability per WP:GNG for an article. I would not be opposed to say, a brief mention in Human enhancement, but as a topic in transhumanism it doesn't seem independently notable. --Mark viking (talk) 18:23, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – This seems to be a term nearly identical in meaning to Directed evolution (transhumanism), but this one never got much traction. —jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:58, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep while I couldn't find any news reports on it there are plenty of books discussing the concept: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. It is clearly notable enough. (The article needs some improvement though.) --Fixuture (talk) 19:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to !vote delete, but in light of the links Fixture provided above, I say we Stub it into a soft redirect to Eugenics, Cybernetics, Human enhancement and Directed evolution (transhumanism) because this is just a term to describe one or more of those (the article doesn't make it clear which; I suspect it just depends on the context). MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 18:10, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - In light of the book sources provided by Fixuture above, per WP:NEXIST. Currently, this is a stub, but the sources seem likely to go into enough depth to expand the article in the future. Even if we aren't, I would prefer a short stub like we have that includes a list of "See also" links to the items MjolnirPants suggested for a possible soft redirect. Kindof like a disambiguation page, except not disambiguation, but more "this is a minor concept in these larger topics". Fieari (talk) 02:57, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2016 North Korean uprising[edit]

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

It appears to be motivated by a recent CNN piece that speculated "an uprising" could be the the result of social unrest following their flood. Mere speculation. Delete BTW, I think WP:A11 could even apply to this made-up event and I've speedy tagged it accordingly. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If it's based on something at CNN, A11 doesn't apply. A11 is for things like drinking games resembling Beer Pong, or games that are a cross between lacrosse and tiddlywinks. This just looks like wishful thinking, or a good faith attempt to get an article started in advance of the happening. Peridon (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I've declined the A11 speedy deletion tag. I agree that this article should not exist without some kind of reliable evidence that this uprising is actually happening though. Hut 8.5 21:03, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Borderline spam. Wikipedia is not a Yellow Pages or a B2B directory. I don't believe moving it to draft will attract anyone to it to improve it. Clearly the creator(s) should not be editing the article. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well they have a lot of bluelinks under their wing, some pretty famous at one time -- Mavis Bacon, Print Shop, World Book. If they had developed all that, that alone would make them notable IMO. But they didn't, they just own them now, and "at one time" was a while back for most of these and the maintenance is probably pretty minimal. The exception being Family Tree Maker which appears to get fair amount of notice from ancestry sites. But again, they didn't make it, they just bought it. I would still say "Keep" even so, if there were enough references to make a decent article. Is there? Bloomberg give them a bare notice. here is a bit more. And that's about it: End Of Goggle, 14 results. Probably not enough to make a decent article, so delete I guess. Herostratus (talk) 00:12, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep possibly not notable before HRC used it but now that she has, there has been enough background reporting on the meme to make it clearly notable.

Keep A redirect is not appropriate because, misapprensions of several editors aside, this meme/phrase did not begin with Clinton v. Trump, nor was a single "news cycle" that has "ended."

~~Keep~~ Pls see below; Original comment: per WP:USEFULTRIVIA and article improvements by E.M.Gregory. With the non-Clinton v Trump content, this is a short but reasonably sourced article on a meme, which is not against any policy or guideline. However, I would not support a redirect to Clinton's campaign article; I'd rather see the article deleted. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:36, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Comprehensively fails WP:EVENTCRIT which states Routine kinds of news events (including ... viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. There are no WP:LASTING effects, no WP:PERSISTENCE or WP:DEPTH. Also per WP:NOTMEMEDIR, every single meme is not important enough to be included unless there is secondary coverage which focuses on the phenomenon of the meme itself. Over here I do not see the solid secondary coverage required for a meme to be notable. There will obviously be coverage like "10 best tweets about X meme", but these are simply proof that the meme exists, not that the meme is notable. I also see that the history section of the article is sourced to Knowyourmeme which is a WP:USERGENERATED source and is not reliable. The rest of the references are all passing mentions. Definitely not notable at this time. I also prefer a delete and not a redirect as the Hillary Clinton campaign is not a major part of this meme. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:07, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HEY Objections on the grounds of lack of secondary sources describing the phrase itself, assertions made due assertion / misapprehension that this article is about an EVENT, and objections to a specific source as unreliable have been met in revisions by K.e.coffman, Yoshiman6464, and myself.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:54, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant policy is WP:NEO, a policy that this article now passes. Note that the policy requires "we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term" and that while a scholarly article or 2 on this phrase would be good to have, what the policy requires is "secondary sources... about the term," and that I have supplied the article with several of these from highly RS.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:08, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:EVENTCRIT (in particular WP:LASTING and WP:PERSISTENCE) is the relevant notability criterion here as memes are considered events. That still isn't satisfied. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I'm exceptionally closing this AfD early because (a) it has already far more comments than most AfDs, (b) the consensus is so clear to not cover this as an article that it is not conceivable that more opinions could realistically change the outcome, and (c) there is a parallel RfC to decide whether to cover this material in the campaign article. There is no consensus here about whether to redirect this topic to the campaign article, and no clear consensus is likely to emerge through more discussion. I recommend waiting on whether consensus emerges from the RfC before having the redirect discussion. But if anybody does want to have that discussion now, they can create the redirect and anybody else can take it to RfD. Sandstein 20:20, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once the election is over, spinoffs can be evaluated." In other words, there's no reason this stuff can't just be covered in the main articles and then "lasting significance" assessed afterwards.

I created this because the incident is notable; it can and I confidently expect that it inevitably will eventually be linked to a short statement on Clinton 2016 campaign page; including more there would be WP:UNDUE.

Delete (with no strong position on a Redirect) - I'm surprised to see so many experienced users supporting keeping this. Maybe deserves a brief mention in the campaign/candidacy articles because it has received coverage, of course, but Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS and every news cycle "controversy"-of-the-week doesn't need a stand-alone article (WP:NOPAGE/WP:POVFORK) when we have articles on the campaign, candidates, candidacies, elections, etc. Not opposed to recreation after the election, once lasting significance can be displayed, but it would really need a lot more to merit a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:36, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. Obviously not sufficient for a standalone article, and this does smack of inappropriate content forking. In general, it would be helpful if, during election season, we could resist the urge to create standalone articles about every partisan talking point. I would be fine with deleting this article; after all, anyone searching for "basket of deplorables" already knows all about this particular controversy. But maybe a merge is better since the subject arguably deserves brief mention in the campaign article. MastCell ^Talk 18:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:NEO. Merging or redirecting seems wholly unnecessary.

- If you can tell me where I've even commented on the first example, it would be appreciated. But anyway, the community has long been in agreement that the aforementioned criteria is the cut-off point, and as I said, numerous other examples from AfD can be provided to back this up: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9, 10, and there are far more than these (note, if you are unfamiliar with the English football league system, step 6 = level 10). I suspect an SNG has never been created because it's such a specific topic that it would be silly to have a guideline just for this, particularly as consensus at AfD is obvious and very few of these articles are created anymore.

The result was redirect to History of the Jews in South Korea as a compromise solution that tries to capture the arguments and concerns presented. The last half of the article discusses a single business dispute. The first half is more relevant, but there is a severe lack of structure with the different facts being presented in a disjoint fashion. Those problems are in theory surmountable, and it's possible that a separate article may be written. However the concerns about the relevancy of the current contents are serious enough that removing the article for the time being is arguably the best option. The history of the article will not be deleted and so may be accessed in case anybody wants to work with it. Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Antisemitism in South Korea[edit]

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

This article makes no sense. Most of the content does not refer to the topic. More than half of the article is a business dispute between Samsung and Paul Singer. Other than that, the article lists curiosities and examples that do not directly refer to antisemitism. The "history" part starts with a bar named "Gestapo". However, although one of the main agenda of Nazi Germany became the Jewish genocide, naming a bar "Gestapo" is not directly antisemitism. I guess it is known that in Korea, China, Japan and India, many bars refer to Hitler and the Nazis. So sad it is, this shows admiration for Nazi Germany but is not directly linked to antisemitism. Someone would have to provide a scholarly source that see this connection. Making this connection of wikipedia without source is original research. It could be that the people that named the bar do not even know about Holocaust. Then, the article lists at the end of the section two "K-pop scandals". Both do not refer to antisemitism. However, the second refers to unrespectful behaviour. Also, the last sentence in the lead states South Korea, but if you look at the source, it refers to North Korea. But this is only a minor problem. Cause, I also dispute the weight of the article. The important information is already in the article History of the Jews in South Korea.

~~Delete~~ Merge to History of the Jews in South Korea. This would create a more balanced article with information on both the positive and negative views of South Koreans toward Jews. Info on the Samsung thing should be much reduced. Unrelated stuff, the Hitler bars and North Korean pictures of capitalists looking "Jewish" to outsiders, should be removed. There should be an article about the Singer/Samsung thing, and also the existing History of the Jews in South Korea, but this article is really just minor incidents thrown together by original research.Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:23, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep but extensively re-write. Delete, per Christian140's nomination and thoughtful argument below. [Old comment follows.] While this article does have the whiff of original research about it, some of the article's reliable sources (such as this article in the Diplomat and this Time magazine piece) do assert that there's a significant strain of anti-Semitism in Korea. This is definitely a topic of encyclopedic interest, but the article clearly needs a lot of help. A Train^talk 15:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The Times article is also about a bar and is not refering to antisemitism. The article just shows that there is some fascination of Nazi symbolism by some people in Korea and the author states that it seems for him that Koreans "hate" Japanese für WWII, but still allow the use of Nazi symbols. So, the author derives the assumption that Koreans lack empathy for Jews. The article also explicitly states: "Nor does Korea, with no Jewish community to speak of, have an anti-Semitic streak." The Diplomat links just reports about a survey of global anti-semitism that can be directly sourced: http://global100.adl.org/#country/south-korea/2014. This is notable as WP:YESPOV. Like with any index, there are limitations and criticism. However, this would be notable in an article about the index. To find out if there is really anti-semitism in Korea, some research is needed, and if there is, it probably had not been published in English (see Google scholar). It is not very likely that much research had been done considering the lack of Jews in Korea and the lack of exposure during history. Looking at the design of the anti-semitism index, one could also conclude that Koreans are susceptible for conspiracy theories since all the question are more about the "anti Jewish conspiracy theories". This is all up for future research. I wrote this in small letters since it should not be considered in this discussion, these are just some thoughts on limitations of the index and possible future research if I was a sociologist specializing on conspiracy theories, anti-semitism and the Korean society. --Christian140 (talk) 09:41, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with Christian. There are some statistics, but we lack reliable sources. Well, the Diplomat is a decent source, but can we build an encyclopedic articles on one or two newspieces, with no scholarship to speak of, given the controversial subject? A merge may be better. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, man -- that is an exceptional bit of argumentation from @Christian140: and I find myself utterly swayed by it. I agree with Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus below that the Samsung incident alone is probably notable enough for its own article, but this article as it stands probably cannot remain in its present form.

Weak keep BUT delete most contents OR leaning merge to History of the Jews in South Korea. As with many similar article, most of it is off-topic and sourced to news, in essence "anti-semitism events in Korea as documented by some random newspaper articles". This all should go, together with the Samsung incident, which could perhaps be notable on its own, but is not very relevant to this topic. However, the sole saving grace of this article comes from one sentence about " a survey by the Anti-Defamation League" which I think should be kept; there are likely few other rankings that could be added. A 2008 survey of attitudes towards religion has data on Korea ([22]), but frankly, this is about attitudes, not antisemitism. But, seriously, one sentence... this probably should be merged. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:57, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note The article references a public opinion survey. People who don't have strong opinions tend to answer "yes" to survey questions. So you get a different picture if the question were to be "Do you think Jews are over represented in some field?" than if you were to ask "Do you think Jews face unfair discrimination in the same field?" Borock (talk) 15:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to History of the Jews in South Korea. Not enough evidence that South Korean antisemitism is a notable topic. In most of today's world people are free to have any opinion they want on any topic. The fact that a few South Koreans have expressed negative views on Jewish people does not seem notable. In fact you could probably find a few anti-South Korean statements by Jews, and I hope we will not have an article based on that.Borock (talk) 15:56, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Most people here find that the survey of the ADL is relevant, however, there are problems with the design. I put this information in the article History of the Jews in South Korea. So, I added the survey result and there is one specific article of a journalist who investigated about anti-semitism in Korea because of the survey and found no signs of anti-semitism. In the article, there is also a statement of the head of the ADL saying that there are some flaws since cultural norms in Korea affected the responses. You can also find more criticism online about the design, like that the sample is too low and that you cannot prove anti-semitism by those questions. But this is more relevant for the article about the survey or for Anti-Defamation_League#Criticism. --Christian140 (talk) 15:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rikster, per NBASKETBALL – "Women's National Basketball Association, or a similar major professional sports league" – wouldn't the WNBL be a similar major professional sports league for women? If the Australian NBL is listed there, the equivalent is the WNBL i.e. NBA/WNBA, NBL/WNBL. DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:31, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. A fact of life is that women's basketball is not covered as widely as men's. The WNBA (the only women's league listed in the guideline) has the full marketing backing of the most popular basketball league in the world, has a national tv contract, and is covered nationally by pretty much every US media outlet - is that true of the WNBL? The "similar leagues" line is meant to help people trying to determine notability to understand that there are other leagues - like the Greek and Israeli top men's leagues - where players may be also be notable. You certainly can't just claim someone meets NBASKETBALL if they aren't from one of the listed leagues - you have to demonstrate the league really is similar to those listed. This subject played five total minutes in a league that isn't named in the guideline, I wouldn't assume she is notable. GNG should be the standard.

The result was no consensus. The deletion arguments are basically (1) WP:LISTN, one of many ways of applying notability analysis to lists, which there is not a consensus to apply here, nor is it clear that approach would be most helpful or relevant for this kind of list; and (2) that the awards/nominations listed are excessive or indiscriminate for this particular topic. There is no argument that this information is unverifiable or otherwise clearly contrary to policy, and so this discussion then boils down to an editing dispute over what awards/nominations it is appropriate or relevant to list for this topic, and whether the information is then substantial enough to merit a WP:SPLIT from the parent bio article. And if it isn't, whether anything should be merged or the title just redirected to the corresponding section in the parent article. Editors are encouraged to continue an informed discussion on either the list or parent article's talk page. postdlf (talk) 16:31, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain[edit]

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

Nominations are no longer part of WP:PORNBIO, so they do not contribute to an actor's notability. The award nominations themselves are non-notable. The awards proper are already included in the main article Sandra Romain, so the list is unnecessary. The subject fails WP:GNG as there's no significant secondary RS coverage of the topic; the article is exclusively cited to WP:PRIMARY sources, which do not count towards notability.

Edit: the nominations themselves are meaningless due to rampant "award inflation" in the adult entertainment industry. For example, one of the major awards I looked into had 50 categories, further subdivided into "fan" and "editor's choice". AVN's awards include 15 nominations per category, and including such nominations is WP:INDISCRIMINATE and provides no encyclopedic value, and appears to primarily serve as WP:PROMO for titles and other actors.

Keep per MOS:LIST and meeting WP:SAL and WP:LISTPURP. For a proper list, meeting GNG (or not) is not the deciding factor. And since the list lede states "The following is a list of awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain throughout her pornographic film career", it is specific, encyclopedic, and not at all WP:INDISCRIMINATE to readers who wish to better understand the topic. Further, MShabazz's points are well made and convincing, and comparing the short version in subject's article to the far more complete list, it is easy to see that the subject's article does not contain this more comprehensive information. inclusion criteria are met. Readers are enlightened. Sheesh. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 03:50, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative delete. Although I can't speak to the merits of including all these nominations, they don't appear to me to be wholly indiscriminate. And, aside from the subject matter (I don't even have words for the fact that a film named Cum Fart Cocktails merited a sequel), this appears similar in principle to articles like List of awards and nominations received by Taylor Swift.
However, the notability requirement applies to standalone lists the same as any other article. See WP:SAL § Content policies ("Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to . . . the notability guidelines."). The difference between this and the Swift awards list is that the subject of that article (the nominations and awards won by Ms. Swift) has received significant independent attention, whereas the same cannot be said here. List of accolades received by Lincoln (2012 film) is "other stuff" and may be appropriate for deletion for all I know. Rebb ing 07:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Your logic says that if parts of the list are not notable, the notable rest or actually the composition of everything together isn't notable either. In that case I guess, we have to delete Swift's list as well, as I'm not so sure if her listed Channel V Thailand Music Video Awards, FiFi Awards, IFPI Global Recording Artist Award, iHeartRadio Music Awards, Bravo Ottos, Do Something Awards, mtvU Woodie Awards, Myx Music Award, Neox Fan Awards, American Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Los Premios 40 Principales, Radio Disney Music Awards or Telehit Awards have received "significant independent attention" and therefore are notable enough for the ambitious rest of the list, a list, which should of course be anything but complete... --SamWinchester000 (talk) 09:41, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - You misread my vote: I didn't say every entry in such a list had to be notable, see WP:NNC, but that the subject—the awards as a collection or even multiple individual awards—must have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. I see no such coverage here, whereas it is clearly present there. Rebb ing 10:42, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Great, K.e.coffman, you're just lying again. The last time I called it "manipulate". As you keep alleging the same undifferentiated view, I'll call it "lie" this time. Once again: "please differentiate a bit instead of manipulating, more than half of the categories are not personal but for films, studios and websites. There are ca. 20 personal categories from which again a part is for producers. Current Performer categories are 12 (excluding 3 honorary/achievement categories)." Most porn awards are for film productions, their companies, distributors etc., only a little part of your very objectively named "award inflation" is for performers and personal (which means not scene-related) and makes notable (actually not even that as we see in grotesque AfD "inflation"). --SamWinchester000 (talk) 08:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the discussion of the value of the awards is secondary to the fact that the article does not meet GNG. What is the significant RS coverage that covers the topic of "awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain"? K.e.coffman (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yet, your reasoning was that nominations do not contribute to her notability. Deleting the whole list because parts of it are not notable on their own does not make sense, so you adapted your reasoning. However, you lied (or just didn't understand) in order to keep disrespecting those nominations even more by claiming that she would generally be able to be nominated in 50 categories, which is absolutely wrong but will easily influence everyone's first opinion. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 00:02, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "notable parts" (i.e. the awards, vs nominations) are already present in the main article on the actress; nobody is trying to delete them from there. Thus, this article is an indiscriminate list that does not meet GNG as a stand-alone list (see WP:SAL). K.e.coffman (talk) 21:10, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note to clarify: A list is to inform readers, and per governing guidelines, MOS:LIST and WP:SAL and WP:LISTPURP, as long as they are verifiable items in a simple and discriminate list are not themselves required to meet WP:GNG. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:41, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- this is not how I'm reading WP:SAL, which states:

Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research, neutral point of view, and what Wikipedia is not, as well as the notability guidelines.

So the subject of "awards and nominations received by X" does need to meet the notability guideline. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:49, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mixing policy and guideline as if absolutes need examination. Our content policies instruct on Neutral point of view (WP:NPOV), Verifiability (WP:V), and No original research (WP:NOR). Yes, WP:SAL does briefly mention WP:N which itself advises "it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply", and itself qualifies that the WP:N "guideline only outlines how suitable a topic is for its own article or list". A list that is neutral, verifiable, and not original research, is not forbidden nor disallowed. I will grant that a merge to Sandra Romain#Awards is suitable under policy WP:ATD.

Venerability does not require a source to be expansive. Just as SAG can confirm SAG Awards, XBIZ and AVN can verify the awards they give for their respective genres.

Dirty tricks also could refer to a more, much wider coverage of a certain subject, like "pranking". I also don't find it notable, despite the fact that indeed, dirt tricks are common in some places. But again, being famous doesn't mean it's a free pass to an article of itself.

Weak delete. He's not really an academic, but looking at his citation record [27] he has some highly cited papers, but a relatively low h-index. I think this is an indication more that this is an especially high-citation area within CS, and less something that could be used to pass WP:PROF#C1.

Keep. Normally, it takes 20-30 years for technology to transition from academia to industry: Simula in the 1960s vs. C++ in the 1990s; Engelbart's mouse in 1968 vs. Macintosh in 1984; Engelbart's hypertext in 1968 vs. WWW in 1994. Spark breaks this pattern. It went straight from academia to industry; actually in an overlapped fashion as the researchers such as Reynold Xin had to finish their PhDs while Databricks was being launched. Therefore, in the case of the Spark developers, either looking at academic work in isolation or industry work in isolation does not portray notability. The combination must be considered. Reynold is the lead author on papers that constitute half the technologies in Spark, and Spark is one of the most important technologies in industry today.[28] Therefore, I think it's appropriate to consider the industry dollars as validation of Reynold's academic work. Michaelmalak (talk) 15:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC) Update 2016-09-21: I've edited the article to include WP:SECONDARY sources and work on new major components of Apache Spark.

Reynold here. First of all, thanks for being considered. I am not going to comment on anything else because as I understand that is not the protocol. However, I would like to address one comment of David Eppstein's: "this is an indication more that this is an especially high-citation area within CS, and less something that could be used to pass". The reason I had a relatively high citation count (compared with the number of papers) is because three of the papers I wrote were some the most cited papers in their respected areas. My SIGMOD 2011 paper on CrowdDB was the paper with the highest number of citations in SIGMOD in 2011, and my SIGMOD 2013 paper on Shark was the highest in SIGMOD 2013, and my SIGMOD 2015 paper on Spark SQL was the highest cited in 2015. And the reasons why these papers have been highly cited are mostly due to my work on Spark -- it is the most popular data engine and all researchers working on these areas need to cite these and compare against it. Y10k (talk) 05:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I withdraw the nomination as sufficient has been presented to show his role. low h index is no bar, if what is published is important and much cited. As there's been another delete comment, I can't close it. DGG ( talk ) 18:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (although a weak one) I still see it as a WP:TOOSOON.

The papers in SIGMOD are good, but I note that (1). There's just a couple of highly cited ones and (2). The citations rates in Computer Science are quite high and the values needs to be looked at in perspective. In addition Google scholar over estimates citation counts. For example, Scopus gives an h-index of 8 with the 159 citations for the best paper. This is much lesser than the Google scholar rates. I don't think this passes WP:PROF

Keep: The Barikad Crew was "responsible for the start of hip hop in Haiti."[33] [34] There are plenty sources via Google Books. Quite frankly this nomination was made without any due diligence and/or overlooked and is a waste of time. No offense, but this article just needs adequate sourcing. Cheers.

  BARIKAD CREW. Haitian hip-hop band. Established in 2002 in Port-au-Prince, the group raps in Kreyòl about lifestyles and living conditions in Haiti's slums. Barikad Crew released its first single ("Projé Project") in 2003. By 2006, Barikad Crew was one of the most popular music groups in Haiti. At the annual Kanaval celebrations held in 2006, their song "Trip N'ap Trip" was greeted with great acclaim by their fans. The 11-member group released its first album in 2007. Three of the group's members died in a car accident on 15 June 2008, and one of its members, Young Cliff, died in the January 2010 earthquake. Neverthless, Barikad Crew has managed to rebound from its losses and continues to perform.

Keep -- I'm seeing mentions of the band in academic / book sources such as Obeah and Other Powers: The Politics of Caribbean Religion and Healing; Del tango al reggae. Músicas negras de América Latina y del Caribe; and Construction d'une Haïti nouvelle: vision et contribution du GRAHN, among others. It's not frequent that you see these types of mentions for run-of-the-mill music bands. Appears to have been a notable development in Haiti's popular culture.

Alicia Cabrera[edit]

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

Alicia Cabrera was Miss Kansas USA. This alone is not enough to make her notable. I have searched for additional sources. I found an article that may have been written by her at a time she may have been working as a journalist. However I found no clear evidence this is by the same person, and her name is very common, there is a medical doctor in Florida by this name, who based on photo comparison is clearly not the same person, and YouTube turned up a competitor in the Miss Nicaragua 2014 competition with this name. She is one of five Alicia Cabrera's identified by IMDb, none of whom are anywhere close to notable. Neither source in the article passes the reliable and indepdent source critria, since one is IMDb which is not reliable per our guidelines, and the other is her own webstie. I did find this source [35] which is no where near what we would want. At first I thought it was the Kansas City Real estate agents congratulating Cabrera, but on further review it seems to just be her employer doing so. On further digging I did find this source [36] which seems to be produced largely at her urging, when your listing is Aliciacabrera.tv I think that is unlikely to be indepdent, but it does suggest the news article I found might have been written by her, but having a news article you wrote published is far below the notability guidelines. I actually made all edits to this article, except a few related to categorization, so I probably could request speedy deletion, but I am going to let this go through regular review.

Non-notable artist - this might look impressive at first glance, since her work appears to have been exhibited at the V&A and Royal College of Art, but on closer inspection both of those were as part of shows of student work, for a program that she was enrolled in as a student. This is not enough to confer notability per WP:ARTIST (which requires that their work be a "significant part of a substantial exhibition" - I very much doubt a student exhibition counts) and there's no evidence of the depth and breadth of coverage in independent reliable sources that would satisfy WP:GNG.

You should know better than those Forbes links - those are blog post, not articles from Forbes the RS. Both explicitly state right there on the page "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own." The other links do suggest there might be substance for an article, but whether it's longer than a paragraph is another matter. But someone could do a rewrite in place easily enough before we finish here ... might be, ahahaha, a student exercise - David Gerard (talk) 14:55, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@David Gerard: Well the Forbes articles are Forbes contributor articles, but I do know better that WP:NEWSBLOG often allows these types of sources to be used when the articles undergo the news organization's normal fact-checking process. I wonder if these articles went through such process or not. The statement "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own" is surely true, but if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner. As a business magazine with national circulation in the United States of around 931,558 (a significant readership), I doubt that Forbes would allow tripe to be published on their website. Also, inre the credentials of the authors of these articles, upon viewing the biographies of them, they are professionals in the industry, which is a stipulation of WP:NEWSBLOG for such sources to be usable. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:15, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner" You might think that, but it's observably false about the stuff they allow on forbes.com/sites - unless it says "from the print edition" or "Forbes staffer", it really is just some random blogger, usually writing a corporate-sponsored op-ed. (I can't find it at a moment's notice, but there's a nice article I read by someone who ghosts corporate op-eds for Forbes blogs as a fabulously lucrative freelance gig.) And yes, many people think Forbes are setting their brand on fire for this. But they are in fact doing it. tl;dr if it's on forbes.com/sites and isn't a paid staffer or "from the print edition", it's some random bozo with a blog; if it isn't, then treat it as an RS. If it's a blogger who is a notable source, then maybe it's an RS - are they, say notable enough to have their own article? - David Gerard (talk) 16:18, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- even with the sources above, I believe it would be a case of WP:TOOSOON. For example, the Network World coverage is titled "Platform9 is the latest to ease the container deployment woes" and contains quotes from the founder:

“For forward-looking organizations that are taking a containerized approach to applications for greater agility and efficiency, Kubernetes provides a powerful orchestration framework for DevOps workflows,” said Madhura Maskasky, co-founder and vice president of product at Platform9.

This type of coverage indicates to me the company is an up-and-comer, actively seeking publicity, and the subject is not ready for an encyclopedia article yet. "The latest" in the headline above also indicates a run-of-the-mill company, not a pioneer in a given technology. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:13, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nafeesa DeFlorias[edit]

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

I figure with fewer than 20 beauty pageant related nominations pending it is safe to open more. In this case, DeFlorias is a particularly clear case of being non-notable. At first I figured it would not be. However although I found evidence that she has worked in television reporting, nothing at the level of reliable source evidence to show she is notable for such. I found her Linkedin page, which cannot be used as a reliable, 3rd party source, which shows a few more recent positings and suggests she is a sbstantial journalist in the Pensacola, Florida market. However we would need actual reliable source coverage showing she is impactful and notied as such to go anywhere with it. Actually she evidently came back to Phoenix just over a year ago. Linkedin is meant to be promotional, but it seems like this was a step down for her, although media markets are funny things. Still, not everyone who has been a main news anchor of a big three (ABC, NOB, CBS) affiliate is notable. looking at the article we have on WEAR-TV we see no mention of DeFlorias, which is not direct evidence, but it shows there is not any sustained attempt to have articles on all local TV news anchors. Beyond Linkedin all the sources I could find were YouTube clips, IMDB (mainly for her being in the Miss USA pageant) and Wikipedia mirrors. I did not come across any media mentions of DeFlorias winning Miss Arizona USA. John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was thinking a High Beam search might help. It didn't. I learned that Nafeesa DeFlorias was master of ceremonies at Miss Asia Arizona one year, which suggests to me she might be Filipina, but I can't say. I also came across two sources that discuss an Arizona State University service learning course, that are both largely dependent on an ASU press release, that include a quote from here just because she had taken the course. Nothing substantial at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Summary This article is currently built on no reliable sources, and my searches have produced none.

The result was delete. The nomination and the "delete" side contend that the article fails WP:N and WP:V for having no substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent from the subject. This is an argument based in core policy, and it would need to be rebutted by the "keep" side with references to reliable sources that indeed provide the sort of coverage we require. However, I don't see "keep" opinions that actually cite any sources. Instead, they go on about how important the award is, how the "delete" side are prudes, etc. These opinions must be disregarded for not addressing the arguments for deletion, as must the ones that do not actually provide any arguments, or that insist that a special standard of sourcing should be applied to porn articles: there is no such exception in WP:V or other policies. Taking into account only opinions based in Wikipedia policies and guidelines, we have unanimous consensus to delete. Sandstein 20:00, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AVN Award for Best New Starlet[edit]

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

This "product" produced by Adult News Video (AVN) has no coverage in independent and reliable (third party) sources. 51 out of 52 references are promotional AVN materials and are therefore do not qualify as independent coverage. The only other reference not so far mentioned provides only very brief passing mentions twice in the whole article. Fails GNG, CORP, ORGIND, and INHERITORG. Notability is not inherited. Wikipedia is not a directory and is not a repository per WP:DIRECTORY. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:37, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Are you serious? I keep getting speachless. This award is 30 years old, existing since the first AVN Awards, the 2nd highest honour a porn actress could ever get and has not randomly been the probably first award category to get an article here (more than 10 years ago). "[Brooklyn] Lee won the coveted award for Best New Starlet at the 2012 AVN Awards.", says ABC. Once again, why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list (your so called "product"). Also, even if there were no other sources (which is NOT the case) trivial statistic articles are extremely common. Please stop fantasizing about the opposite. UEFA Euro 2016 Group A consists of nothing but official UEFA sources. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 04:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that your source has a barely passing mention of this award, maybe three words; five words if you include the name of the awardeee. This is not significant coverage per GNG. The age of the award and the age of this article has no relevance without sources that independently give significant coverage to this award, per WP:NRV. And unfortunately the watertight list you refer to is full of leaky holes when it comes to determining notability because these are not independent of the topic, in fact they are enmeshed.

As I wrote above, 51 out of 52 article references are AVN promotional materials, and AVN is the company that uses these awards to promote porn videos. It manufactures fantasy histories for its performers - even WikiProject Pornograhy says that. What you call random news sources, which sounds like indpendent sources to me, are exactly what is required to have a stand alone article on Wikipeida. To see why we have this criteria please see WP:WHYN.

I see that you wrote, "Even if there were no other sources (which is not the case)..." This is exactly the case. There are no reliable sources, which are the other sources you seem to be referring to - other than promotional materials that promote AVN as a company and magazine. Unfortunately, UEFA Euro 2016 Group A is not related at all to this discussion. There are many articles on Wikipedia that need work or to be deleted such as UEFA Euro 2016 Group A. This is not a rationale for keeping this or any article WP:OTHERCRAP.

It seems there is an unfamiliarity with notability criteria - as if any random assertion or source confers notability. I shouldn't have to write a wall of text to point out discrepancies regarding GNG or ORG and so on.

I had noticed that I wouldn't feed the (actually pretty arragont) troll too much by wasting my time with satisfying his non-existant believes of Wikipedia list articles. So, I took a random serious source, noticed that it was only one sentence but didn't want to waste more of the time I've already so much wasted for nothing here (instead of writing the article of an Argentine 19th century politician I wanted to write weeks ago), hoped that your common sense would let you understand what it means when ABC calles your so called "product" (only the oldest AVN Award from a time, when there was definitely no popular porn promotion) "coveted" and mainly just wanted to go to sleep and would have prefered to never see this grotesque man-on-a-mission-AfD-hell again. Oh, and how hard is it to understand that sources report from a whole award and not single award categories? Btw, "which is not the case" was refering to research! At the same time I negated the need of such sources with "why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list". --SamWinchester000 (talk) 10:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC) P. S.: Please try to delete the system football articles have established in many years. It won't work because it isn't porn.[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT. This is not an article, but a malformatted list, a coatrack to display preferred images of porn actresses. That its supporters think an image of Jenna Jameson in lingerie sticking her hand into her crotch has encyclopedic value is pretty telling. In no other field do we maintain articles in this format -- oversized images, nominee longlists, absence of meaningful text, etc. If this list is to be kept, it should be restored to a more normal format, like this version [37], rather than the current porn-only anomalous display format.

Nice insult: There is nothing prefered but fully historic. It isn't my fault that we only have one 90's photo of Jenna Jameson you have such a big problem with. I would wish to have a better one on Commons, but a 2008 photo for a 1995 honour is definitely not a better one... --SamWinchester000 (talk) 10:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The image of Jenna Jameson sticking her hand in her crotch is the result of User:Guy1890's insistance that all photos in this catagory must have been taken in the year the performer won the award, regardless of how bad the photo is. I guess this is the only photo of Jenna Jameson that WikiCommons has of Jenna taken in 1996. Glenn Francis (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Quinn has obviously not done any research himself and merely has checked references created by the creator. This type of nomination causes fatigue in other editors as they are not forewarned about developments and may suddenly have to work-off schedule. That is obviously a sign of disrespect towards fellow editors by Steve Quinn. Also, articles such as sexophobia prove that an animus towards explicit forms of sexuality is not fiction, and such editors' eligibility for nominating or editing anything related to sexuality may be under question due to an inherent bias. In a nutshell, the reason this article should not be deleted for the same reason the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year shouldn't be - its the most prominent award in UK sport. Likewise, AVN and its derivatives constitute the most prominent award in the porn world. It goes without saying. I believe such a nomination is so out of the ordinary that its possible even newspapers or tabloids might find it worth reporting on it how odd it is. Lets ask Quinn whether he would accept the most prominent technology-related award-related article to be deleted from Wikipedia? No? What about eh most prominent body-building award? No? Sounds ridiculous right? Then why shouldn't this sound equally ridiculous? Its illogical nominations like this that make me consider quitting Wikipedia for good. Whats the point of creating content when editors purge content on the flimsiest of grounds. There should be a warning on the article creation page that the prevalence of deletionists on Wikipedia is actually quite surprisingly high. I've always been astonished by the logic (or is that illogic) employed by prudes. You would think if they dislike certain content they would try to avoid it. Instead what Wikipedia prudes do is they go after it relentlessly. As if it is their hallmark to attack anything representing the naked body. Pwolit iets (talk) 12:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you think I haven't done any research myself then prove this by producing reliable sources, which means independent of the subject, and significant coverage. Appealing to sympathy is not an effective argument for keeping an article - I can't seem to find "forewarning" and "work-off schedule" or "suddenly" in the notability criteria.

Phrases such as "sign of disrespect", "animus", "prudes" and "bias" as personal attacks are not convincing arguments for "keep" - I don't see these in the notability criteria. Also, the way you have confused sexuality with porn is a POV issue. Asserting this is the most prominent award for anything does not make it the most prominent, and is so far not backed up with independent reliable sourcing. Also, as per the above - notability is not inherited - for any product WP:INHERITORG.

Also, per WP: PRUDE - "we can't keep articles with topics that don't meet the notability criteria because we are not designed for indiscriminate collections of information and images WP:IINFO - a core content policy. Sorry about that." ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:15, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep 'Best New Starlet' is one of AVN's most important awards. This is Porn. Major reliable mainstream publications who fact-check and investigate everything they say do not regularly feature articles on porn - in fact it's very rare. And rarer still is any investigation or fact-checking because nobody really knows, or even really cares, what goes on in the porn industry including most of the people who are in it. Steve Quinn's insistence that only articles from reliable fact-checking Mainstream publications who are as clueless about the porn industry as a new-born baby are allowed to be sources. And since these types of sources who regularly run articles on porn are virtually non-existent, Quinn insists that since porn related articles are not sourced from non-existent sources, they should be deleted. And that is the basis of practically every one of Quinn's misguided arguments. Glenn Francis (talk) 13:25, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia requirements for WP:SIGCOV in independent reliable sources do not get suspended because "Major reliable mainstream publications who fact-check and investigate everything they say do not regularly feature articles on porn".

Delete -- this is at best a list of those who received the award, and were nominated for it. The article says nothing meaningful about the award itself and no sources are provided that discuss the subject. I also note that 15 people are nominated each year, making the list of nominees essentially meaningless, making the article a WP:DIRECTORY / WP:PROMO page. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:18, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per DEL8 as clearly failing GNG, the relevant notability guideline. Feigned shock, polemics about deletionists and anti-sex bias, and inept comparisons to notable awards notwithstanding, there is simply no significant coverage of this subject in independent, plausibly-reliable sources. (Good Morning America 's description of the award as "coveted" is not significant coverage by any stretch of the imagination.) Also, there is nothing wrong with the article's use of primary sources: the problem is that primary sources do not count towards establishing notability. See WP:NRVE. I strongly suggest that the retention proponents make some minimal effort to locate independent sources that do more than mention the award in passing, as the existing votes are unconvincing. Cf. WP:NEXIST ("[O]nce an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface.").

Delete Verifiability is a core content policy and it states that we need to "base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The vast majority of the references in this article are published by AVN itself and are therefore not third party sources. One source is a brief ABC gossip item that mentions that someone tweeted a photo of Bill Clinton standing next to one of the award winners. That is a passing mention and not significant coverage, and therefore does not establish notability. This article fails a core content policy and a widely accepted guideline. Any article about an award in any area of human endeavor that relies on such poor quality references should either be deleted or brought into compliance. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:47, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"and therefore does not establish notability." As at least 70 % of the Wikipedia lists do not, as well. I'm really happy now that bad quality and lacking (but still existing) sources (brought to the article from a random article author) are work of the so called "quality management" sites in the German Wikipedia and no accepted AfD-reasons for a generally relevant topic (defined by meeting our relevance criteria).

And I've naively thought it could be better here (as we have many deletion discussions as well), but it is not. It's the opposite. I'll mainly say goodbye, English Wikipedia (especially AfD hell), and just keep on spending your time with AfDs about topics you naturally probably don't care about. I have done that enough now (I'm not really that much of a porn fan, actually, niether a fan of deletion discussions in general and have very different interests in my everyday Wikipedia) but poorly wasted my time with trying to save some articles I had never a chance with. I guess Larry Sanger was not too wrong with demanding a chief editor and topic experts, as in that case we wouldn't have to hold these horrible deletion discussions. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 12:36, 17 September 2016 (UTC) Just to get it clear: I might occasionally give the one or the other comment in AfDs, yet, hopefully I won't.[reply]

If mainstream publications don't write fact checked articles about something, that's usually an indication that it is not notable, and I see no compelling reason why porn should be given a free pass on this count.

The result was redirect to List of members of the AVN Hall of Fame. Editors who argued in favour of keeping this article largely cited WP:PORNBIO as the subject is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. While true, this is a guideline on notability, and does not replace the core requirement for articles to have been the subject of secondary sources of reliable information, as argued by delete/redirect voters. No such reliable secondary sources were presented and no convincing arguments were made that a lack of independent sources was acceptable. I thus find that there is a stronger argument against keeping the article, with a redirect being the most sensible option. Sam Walton (talk) 09:38, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Stub articles are not forbidden, but like every article, they must comply with our core content policies. This article doesn't. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How can a stub in any way comply with content policies about sourcing when the definition of a stub is that it literally consists of nothing more than 1 or 2 basic sentences? --SamWinchester000 (talk) 03:12, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SamWinchester000: Acceptable stubs that will not be deleted will have at least two references to reliable, third party sources. Many stubs have much more than two sentences. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:19, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep NOTE: I've recently made some preliminary edits to the article in question here for the time being, and I'm sure that the article can be expanded further in the future. The subject here (who's full stage name is apparently "Sascha Koch" - maybe this article should be moved there?) "has won a well-known and significant industry award" (namely the XRCO Award, which is one of the longest-running & most well-known adult film industry awards, "Unsung Swordsman" award, which is a significant award category) and has also been recently inducted into "an industry hall of fame such as the AVN Hall of Fame".

I would note that the recent proposed change to PORNBIO (which apparently does not seem to have consensus yet?) did not remove the "is a member of the AVN or XRCO hall of fame" wording from PORNBIO. Also, the recent "Kristina Rose" AfD is irrelevant to consideration of this article here, since Ms. Rose has not been inducted into "an industry hall of fame" at all.

Comment - FWIW, IAFD isn't a "primary" source - it's a site that usually gets its information from the adult film industry producers that have to verify that their performers are of age and/or legal to shoot adult films in the USA. It's actually been a rarity that I've personally seen IAFD-related info be proven wrong by other sources. Guy1890 (talk) 00:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- @Guy1890: isn't IAFD substantially similar to IMDB, which is not considered RS for establishing notability? The linked article states:

"It is similar to the Internet Movie Database, in that it is open to the public and is searchable. (...) Like the IMDb, forms are used for submitting data corrections, though the IAFD's form is considerably simpler than the IMDb's. ...

A clarification would be appreciated. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb isn't considered reliable for its biographies, only for its filmographies (the IMDb awards sections are often very comprehensive though - I personally wouldn't use them as a first choice to cite award info though). IAFD is widely considered reliable for its basic biographical information in the adult film industry, which would hardly ever qualify anyone as notable on Wikipedia in any event. IAFD is certainly not a "primary source" by any stretch of the imagination. Guy1890 (talk) 05:10, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Guy1890: it appears that we agree that IAFD does not represent WP:SIGCOV for the purpose of establishing notability or meeting GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
