This article on Kawy has been tagged has being inadequately sourced for over 6 years. I looked, and there appear to be no special notability guidelines for Squash players. Thus Kawy would need to fulfill the general notability guidelines, and it appears to me that none of the sources here are reliable 3rd party sources.

  • Keep based on WP:IAR. This squash player has competed at the top of her sport including competing at the sport's world championships including the 2010 Women's World Open Squash Championship where she placed second, as well as being a team member competing in multiple world team championships. There are many match reports. I understand that routine reporting of matches is not considered coverage for the purposes of notability, but the material does confirm her high ranking. We don't have a specific notability guideline for squash, but that is most likely due to a rather inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Squash. If specific notability guidelines for squash were created, there's no doubt that ranking in the top 10 or coming second at the world championships would qualify. -- Whpq (talk) 02:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Concern was that the Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Article about player who has not played in a Tier-1 international match. PROD was contested based on a claim that he had played in the Romanian top flight, which would of course be sufficient to meet WP:NFOOTY, except that the claim is not supported by reliable sources.

List of housing statutes[edit]

A seemingly random assemblage of housing laws, no attempt to present a global paerspective, and if it did it would likely be unmanageably large and cumbersome. This content is already organized in a category. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, yes, this would be incredibly huge if globalized – not just the many national statutes around the world, but states and provinces, and localities... there is virtually no end. A category (and sub-categories) makes more sense. More useful than a list of all the stars in the sky, but just as interminable. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:59, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be honest: We rarely cover other countries in full when it comes to a subject like this. Numerous articles on English wikipedia are Anglo-centric and Euro-centric, and often they are are focused almost entirely on the U.S. perspective (e.g. Implied-in-fact contract, Mortgage note). Rather than delete them, they usually get appropriately tagged. If the article got too big, it could be split up. Categories can be helpful but would not distinguish important housing statutes from minor ones. Where is your evidence that the number of significant applicable housing statutes is interminable? The evidence seems the opposite, by the lack of housing statutes listed. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:17, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know I'm forever pointing this out at Afd but since we have Category:Housing legislation -- why not a list, per WP:CLN? Some people do prefer to browse by lists, which can enjoy certain advantages. The potential size of such a list isn't an issue -- we have guidelines on when unwieldy lists are to be split -- nor are any current fixable problems. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:55, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In this case though, this is just a slapdash smattering of laws with no attempt to be comprehensive. So I would say delete regardless unless someone is willing to put int he work to make it a real list, as it stands I'm embarrassed for Wikipedia that we are hosting it. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:10, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. The list certainly needs maintenance and expansion, but that alone is not a reason to delete it. As Shawn in Montreal noted above, it can be split into sub-topics if it grows too large (e.g. list of australian housing statutes, list of russian housing statutes, etc.). I think the real concern with this list is that that the concept of a "housing statute" is vague and somewhat subjective (see WP:LSC, which requires list selection criteria to be "unambiguous" and "objective"). Will this list include local ordinances that regulate zoning, habitability standards, etc., or just regional and national laws? Will it include criminal statutes that penalize burglary? Will it include landlord–tenant laws? What about laws that regulate the construction of new housing? I think the selection criteria need to be defined very carefully, but that can be accomplished through a discussion on the talk page (and if need be, the criteria can be narrowed to a very specific subset of laws that affect housing, such as a "list of mortgage statutes"). I also think this list runs into trouble with WP:LISTN. We don't have articles for housing law or housing laws, in part because legal scholars and practitioners generally discuss laws that affect housing within the context of real property, landlord–tenant law, mortgage law, laws that forbid housing discrimination, laws that attempt to preserve affordable housing, etc. However, I think this problem can be fixed by re-naming and re-framing this topic so that it fits within the framework of an existing, notable topic. For example, we could change this to a "list of real estate laws" or something like that (note that we have Index of real estate articles). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:04, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My observations on this would be that there are no clear criteria for inclusion in this article, hence the mention of "slapdash" in the nomination. I mean, are we going to list every law on earth related to housing standards? Local zoning codes from every city? Seriously? Beeblebrox (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Beeblebrox, after considering this further, I think you are correct that it is going to be nearly impossible to create appropriate inclusion criteria. For that reason, I am changing my vote to merge relevant content to Index of real estate articles. That list already includes a number of statutes that relate to housing (e.g. Fair Housing Act). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 05:05, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Shawn in Montreal. Expand (globalize) and branch off as appropriate. Plenty of Wikipedia articles are "embarrassing," but I'm not embarrassed by the fact that Wikipedia has information about notable laws about very important subjects and an index to find it. This can possibly be seen as a pointy justification for the indef block of the author, who has been rendered unable to defend it. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what to make of that comment, but if I'm reading it right, you've got cause and effect backwards. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:33, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see why this should be deleted. The nominator's rationale is in conflict with WP:CLN and one of the editors above seems to want it deleted because it contains bullet points. Laurdecl talk 23:42, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's kind of hard to respond to a criticism like "in conflict with CLN" which contains a variety of advice. If you could link to a specific section or quote what part of it this nom is "in conflict with" it would be easier to know what your actual point is. By way of example, I could see how WP:AOAC and WP:DOAL would seem to support this being a category instead fo a list. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:43, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When you say "This content is already organized in a category." it sounds like you think this list is unnecessary because a category exists, whereas CLN states "The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping." Laurdecl talk 02:42, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Jacknstock. I don't see the need for this information as being in list format or how this benefits users. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:55, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is actually a well organized list, tho limited to anglo-american jurisdictions. It should indeed be globalized, but an article with as extensive a potential scope will need to expanded gradually. It meets the requirements for a list--the individual items are notable, and the list attempts to be comprehensive. The reason this benefits users more than a category possible can is the ability to include additional information , which will hep the reader find what they are interested in. A category is a bare listing of article names, and intrinsically cannot be more than that. I think there are very few examples where a category that is composed of or 3 articles, not subcategories, and contains more than 2 or 3 items, should not also be presented as a list. So few, that I cannot thing of any. DGG ( talk ) 09:21, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This doesn't benefit this project or the users. Also having such lists would show up why MediaWiki's taxonomies and navigaton tools are inadequate, especially for mobile users. Inlinetext (talk) 17:46, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I could imagine using this list. It would be a pity to throw this away. I don't understand the accusations that the assembled statutes are "random". --David Tornheim (talk) 23:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Because it is just a small number of statutes from four countries. The actual list of all housing statutes would be so long your browser would crash trying to load it. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:31, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Beeblebrox: per my comment above, I have seen countless articles that are Anglo-centric, Euro-centric or U.S. only. Usually they just get tagged, but not fixed. I agree with you that listing every zoning ordinance from every small town would be huge, but if you look at what the author Ottawahitech did, you can see s/he picked the national ones. And they are significant.
I notice that you have indef blocked Ottawahitech one day prior to nominating this article for deletion, and one of the reasons given is: "A user with your experience should not still be creating pages that qualify for speedy deletion". Because of that block, s/he can't defend the article. I am curious what other articles s/he created that have been such a serious problem. It seems like quite a few creations have survived. Why not just force the user to go through WP:AfC than have this long-term user kicked off the site. I know this is probably not the best place to discuss. I'm not sure of a better place that would have eyes on it. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:46, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It was more random a month ago, when this AFD started. But even now, it has four statutes from UK, and one from New Zealand. Why these specific statutes? Quite a few from Canada and US, but none from other English-speaking countries such as South Africa, Liberia, Nigeria, Australia and so on. Why the Ontario Heritage Act and the Jesuit Estates Act? Is there something more special about these than the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 from Victoria, Australia? How were these selected? Beyond that, what about the rest of the world? Will it list Chinese housing statutes, French housing statutes, Saudi Arabian housing statutes? And then, of course, there are all the state laws and local ordinances that apply to housing. You're correct that it isn't entirely random, but a random selection from around the world might be more useful if someone is interested in a comparison. A person merely looking for housing statutes that personally affect them would be better served at a .gov web site (HUD.gov if they live in the US, for example). Maybe it should be renamed "List of housing statute articles" similar to Index of real estate articles (from which it could branch). What it does for us in that case is show the inadequacy of WP coverage of this area. Jack N. Stock (talk) 00:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I explained above here, I have seen countless articles that are Anglo-centric, Euro-centric or U.S. only (e.g. Implied-in-fact contract, Mortgage note). Additionally almost everything I have seen from the legal arena on Wikipedia--except cases--is woefully without citations. See for example:
This relatively new article has hardly been given a chance. As you can see, others have taken an interest in it, and yet, it needs to be destroyed before it can be fully developed? Look at List_of_landmark_court_decisions_in_the_United_States. Multiple people pointed out--including me--that there was no WP:RS used to choose which decisions were "landmark" decisions. People just added whatever they felt like that the editor felt met the criteria. This is just par for the course in legal articles.
"but a random selection from around the world might be more useful if someone is interested in a comparison." No. That would be WP:OR.
"A person merely looking for housing statutes that personally affect them would be better served at a .gov web site..." That's not the purpose of the article. The purpose of the article--as I see it--is not to list every possible statute that has the remotest effect on "housing", but instead to educate readers about the historically significant statutes that have had long term impacts on housing law (not real estate). This article appears quite useful for that purpose, but perhaps is named poorly. I wish the author could speak as to his/her intention. --David Tornheim (talk) 01:15, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - it one of Wikipedia's thousands of list articles which may usefully provide links to a coherent set of articles. There are many lists with unclear criteria, and of varying degrees of incompleteness. A good reason to delete a list would be an inability to articulate and agree the scope of the list and the listing criteria. This is clearly not the case with this list. Any problems of content or scope definition in the currrent list can be sorted out. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:56, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP, with some résumé overtones and created by the subject himself in contravention of our conflict of interest rules, of a person notable only as a city councillor in a city of just 58K. The closest thing to a "more notable than the norm for a city councillor" hook here is that he was the first officeholder in his own county to come out as gay, but being the first member of an underrepresented minority to hold an otherwise non-notable office is not an automatic notability freebie on Wikipedia -- there would be a case for inclusion if it had made him the first out LGBT officeholder in the entire United States, and maybe even if it had made him the first in the entire state of Florida, but not if his "pioneering" status is limited to a single county or city. And for referencing, all we actually have here is a single primary source (his councilmember's profile on the city's website) rather than reliable source coverage about him in media. For a city councillor in a city this size to clear WP:NPOL, he needs to be sourceable to more than just routine local coverage as notable for more than just the fact of serving on city council -- but there's no real evidence that he meets that standard.

The article fails WP:NSEASONS Per past discussions, the article fails WP:NSEASONS and the team did not qualify for a postseason tournament, be it the NCAA Tournament, NIT, CBI, CIT, or Vegas 16. Therefore it violates WP:NOTSTATS as well as WP:NSEASONS. I am also concerned that the articles lack adequate third party coverage. GLenhart1 (talk) 01:31, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep First off, the account GLenhart1 is just one day old. Secondly, college basketball is incredibly popular in the United States and if you simply Google search the phrase in "Google News" receives over 15.9 million results, making it safe to say it passes the WP:GNG sniff test. Additionally, Google has all DI games scheduled on their site API, as does CBS, ESPN, NBC, and so on and so forth. If that isn't adequate third party coverage, then I don't know what is. That alone in my opinion allows it to pass the WP:NSEASONS sniff test. If these were DII programs, then I would think GLenhart makes a strong point; however, I think DI programs, especially in college basketball have enough notable coverage to meet GNG, regardless of how well the team does in the regular season. Quidster4040 (talk) 01:51, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the age of my account is irrelevant in the discussion, so I will go ahead and say that is not an argument. You're in direct violate of WP:AADD by trying to invalidate my statements by my age of the account. GLenhart1 (talk) 02:05, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep Every Division I team has their own page for at least the last 3, maybe 4 to 5, years now. Same with every Division I football team. If they all get deleted then why even create any page until the season is over? We would have to wait until the post season to decided if a page is worthy of inclusion? That's crazy. And deleting all that work from so many editors seems wrong. It will make college basketball and college football editors seem like their work is meaningless.

Comment GLenhart1 is working on Draft:2016 Big West Conference men's soccer season. I can easily argue that every single Division I men's basketball team having their own page is far more important and "well known" than any college soccer program. Another thing is who are you to decide what is a "well known college basketball program"? In the Mountain West you nominate San Jose, Air Force, and Colorado State but why not Fresno State, Utah State, or Wyoming? You are just deciding yourself that they are more important? I agree with Twwalter, this reeks of WP:VNDL. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I did not look at every article, but the ones I did look at lacked references. However, I have no doubt that reliable, independent, third-party references exist to prove they meet WP:GNG with more than just WP:ROUTINE coverage. — X96lee15 (talk) 02:48, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct, therefore it is not WP:GNG and WP:ATA. GLenhart1 (talk) 04:09, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep for several reasons. (1) All Division I football and men's basketball season articles have been deemed the top level of amateur competition in the United States in their respective sports, and the consensus for literally 8+ years has been they are notable. (2) User:GLenhart1 reeks of WP:SPA, WP:VNDL, and most definitely has a previous beef with someone who supports these types of articles existing. (3) Glenhart1 claims the nominated teams are "not well known" yet that's a deadly combination of WP:OR and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Per Bsuorangecrush above, Glenhart1 is wildly inconsistent. I hope that any admin worth his salt can read through this petulance and speedy keep. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:46, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep For Division I programs, even those in smaller conferences, every single game is covered by 6-10 different regional and/or national sources. Teams are previewed in just about every major sports publication/site, recruiting classes covered, etc. in short, there is no shortage of reliable sources available for any D1 college basketball program. I'm sure that these articles could be improved, but that doesn't mean they don't meet WP:GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 03:46, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. WP:NRIVALRY clearly states that sports rivalries are not, by default, notable and that notability of the rivalry itself (which I take to mean rather than the fixture simply existing) must be shown using the WP:GNG. One source - from Parlho - is used to suggest a notable rivalry - which is, in effect, a bunch of tweets collected by someone. Given that this sources styles itself (via the page title) as the "leading viral stories platform for Pakistan youth" I would suggest that it does not meet the requirements of the GNG in this regard. None the other (English language) sources I can find show the sorts of notability that I'd want to show that there is an actual rivalry beyond people insulting each other on social media. To me, then, non-notable and very new sporting rivalry that doesn't do anywhere near enough to show notability. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:13, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article has multiple issues, the main one being WP:Notability. The term should perhaps be included in an American Football glossary if there is one but it is too obscure to deserve an article in its own right. Jack | talk page 19:59, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This was the play that took the Super Bowl LI into overtime, with the most renowned current NFL coach (possible GOAT) borrowing a trick play from a FBS team, in front of over 111 million people in the US and billions worldwide. That's a little too notable to be included in a glossary of American football plays or merely mentioned in the main Super Bowl LI article. As far as trick plays go, this is a big deal. If this article survives AfD, Super Bowl LI#Second half should mention the play by name and wikilink it. I started intending to comment, but by the time I finished writing this and reading the related articles, I'd convinced myself to say "keep" - maybe a weak keep, but a keep is a keep. Jack N. Stock (talk) 18:36, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jacknstock:, I restored the other category, Category:American football plays as the article states it was notably used in the Boca Raton Bowl. So I think in this case we shouldn't diffuse. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:08, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Shawn in Montreal:, I was thinking that Super Bowl plays are a sub-category of American football plays. Being a Super Bowl play doesn't imply that it was never otherwise used in American football. BTW, what do you think of it being described as an unofficial trick play in intro? Are there any official trick plays? I think that word "unofficial" needs to come out. Jack N. Stock (talk) 20:26, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes and I did fix the parent categorization of Category:Super Bowl plays -- which I'm not even sure should exist -- accordingly. Just that the article states it was used notably in an NCAA game, too. So maybe someone presumably searching for this doesn't know it was used in the SB? I've really no strong views on it and you can change anything you like. I agree with you that I don't see how there can be official/unofficial trick plays? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It didn't really "take Super Bowl LI into overtime." It was the last play of regulation, but while it caught the Falcons off guard, it didn't result in a score, and the game was already tied at that point. Had it somehow scored the game winning touchdown in regulation and prevented overtime, then it would clearly be notable (see, for instance, the Music City Miracle), but we don't have articles for every failed trick play, and the trick play failed in that it didn't result in a score like it was supposed to. Now, failed football plays can be notable under exceptional circumstances (see Gary Anderson's missed field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship Game for one example) but I don't really think this qualifies. First, the Patriots won the game in the end, so the play's failure really didn't have a sustained impact. Second, the play occurred in a situation where it was highly unlikely the Patriots would win in regulation to begin with, so the fact that the play meant they didn't win in regulation and the game went into overtime isn't particularly notable.

  • Keep The simple fact that it's a corny goofy thing doesn't prevent it from passing WP:GNG which it seems to do based on sources proviced. There's some cleanup needed to the article, and it will probably just be a stub but that's okay. Weird and apparently notable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It did not result in a score and did not change the outcome of the game, if we had articles for every non-notable play then Wikipedia would be full of such articles. Ρο Βουκ (talk) 04:32, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment the "results" of the play have no bearing on the decision to keep or delete, it is the coverage of the play that points toward notability. Lots of coverage of a poorly-executed attempt leads to a notable poorly-executed event. I believe that is the case here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or merge into fumblerooski. When I saw the play live I immediately thought it was a fumblerooski, and I'm still not convinced it's different enough to warrant its own article. It's just a variation of a well-known trick play. Lizard (talk) 08:27, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's nothing at all like a fumblerooski. The ball isn't fumbled and picked up by the lineman, it's handed off to the running back. Not even close. Strongly oppose merge to that target. Smartyllama (talk) 14:33, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Created by declared COI. Reasonably well balanced/NPOV considering. Still has a promotional feel. Did have some COI issues today, namely with these edits: first and second by an IP - their only 2 contributions.

I do not feel it meets WP:Company or WP:GNG. It has some coverage, however not sufficient in my opinion. It has some coverage - a brief mention on US News here, a very brief mention on WSJ here, reasonable amount of coverage in this article on entrepreneur.com and a brief mention (with link to self-published research) here and a mention in this Forbes list. This on ZDNet feels like an advertorial. Now it can be argued that this is numerous trusted sources, however I feel this is all far too routine for a small company hustling to get its name recognised - I don't think the sum of all of this constitutes 'considerable'. Many, many companies get the occasional mention in the press, have staff drop a soundbite or quote, and perhaps score the odd extended write-up.

Has existed for nearly 2 years and is still an orphan. Additionally I believe this article should be deleted for WP:DIRECTORY reasons.

I appreciate some editors' interpretation of 'significant' is different to mine and this debate will perhaps have keep votes based on the sources above, however for me I do not believe I see the significant coverage needed to satisfy myself of its notability.

Hi Rayman60,

Mike at FlexJobs here. Thank you for listing your concerns. I agree with what you said here regarding how small companies trying to get press coverage and simple mentions are not justified as notable. We were certainly one of those when we started, yet feel we have "graduated" from our humble beginnings 10 years ago. I suppose I tried to cite material from reputable sources when crafting this page to show that. While I of course would like this page to stay up, I want to also make sure we are adding value to your readership and comply with your guidelines. I am not sure if it would help to know that CNN reporters (and many others) come to us looking for leading data on remote and flexible work. In fact, our top 100 list of companies offering the most remote jobs will be released on CNN and Forbes next week. I am open to your feedback and feedback from the other editors on how to comply with your guidelines and welcome a discussion. Thanks for listening and for working with a fairly newby when it comes to Wikipedia editorial guidelines. Trying to be as transparent as possible here :)

Just a quick update about the press I mentioned above. CNN, Forbes and CNBC just covered a story about our Annual top 100 list.

No evidence Whiteside is anything more than a bunch of buildings, and is certainly not a village Nilfanion (talk) 02:54, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is listed in List of United Kingdom locations and in worklist page in User:Rich Farmbrough's userspace, which links to this geograph.org.uk map of it. --doncram 21:58, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Are individual farms notable? That's all Whiteside is, no different or more interesting than any of half a dozen others in its immediate area. With some of the neighbours, at least they are listed buildings - but that's support for a claim that Carrycoats Hall is a notable building, not a settlement. In contrast, Whitesides doesn't have any historic building designations.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I updated my "!vote" to "Redirect" as there seems to be a suitable target (see my comment below), and I choose "redirect" rather than "merge" because there isn't actually any material to merge (besides the assertion that Whiteside is a village, which seems not to be the case). --doncram 20:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to the appropriate civil parish article, as normally happens with hamlets or lost settlements.Charles (talk) 10:20, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Problem with that is there are at least two other Whitesides in Northumberland (in Walton and in Thirwall), in addition to this one near Birtley - which are also farms.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It can redirect to Carrycoats for now, which will mention Whitesides and I will there mention the existence of others. The redirect could be changed to a disambiguation page if/when there is coverage of the others at other articles. --doncram 20:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteRedirect - this location is a non-notable farm and I don't think a redirect or disambiguation is necessary for every named farm. Census records are detailed enough that farms are often mentioned as birth places, but that doesn't make it notable. It also shows up on OS maps[3], which also doesn't make it notable. For a bit more clarity about what this is, here is a brief description of the Carrycoat Estate mentioning Whiteside: [4]. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:57, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Smmurphy's reference (to what is in effect a "for sale" listing?) provides characterization of Whiteside as being one of several parts of Carrycoats Estate (currently a redlink) which comprised the whole township of Carrycoats (currently a redlink) and included Carrycoats Hall (currently a redlink). Carrycoats Hall is a listed building (see HistoricEngland entry). I hope we could agree that the whole is notable for an article, which I personally would tend to want to place at Carrycoats. And that this AFD could be concluded with a redirect to that. :) I may start a draft at Draft:Carrycoats. --doncram 20:21, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Other editors, please do feel welcome to edit at the drafted article! Carrycoats is sourced as being a historic township there, so I am reasonably certain this can stand as a Wikipedia article. --doncram 20:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting to Carrycoats doesn't deal with the issue Nilfanion brought up that there is a Whiteside in Haltwhistle and Whalton (and a Whiteside Wood in Riding Mill). I think a disambiguation to Haltwhistle, Whalton, Thockrington/Carrycoats, and maybe Riding Mill makes more sense than a straight redirect. Smmurphy(Talk) 21:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, how about redirecting to Whiteside disambiguation page and adding info to there. I don't think a separate Whiteside, Northumberland disambiguation page is needed. Redirecting to Carrycoats, now in mainspace, is also feasible now.
By the way, the "Whiteside, Northumberland" in Google maps, which looks like a farm, turns out to be a different Whiteside near Haltwhistle, 24 miles by roads away from the Whiteside Farm within Carrycoats (very close to the open field that is the location of the supposed village in the article, according to its coordinates in the article). Yes I see there are other "Whiteside Farm" entries within Google maps, too. --doncram 22:20, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Whiteside sounds correct to me. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:47, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This was actually an expired PROD, originally tagged by Whaleyland (talk · contribs). I largely agree with his well-argued rationale (reproduced below), but I think that the article is debated enough (based on the lengthy discussion on the talk page) that PROD is not suitable, especially given that it could just be undeleted at any time after. I would rather see this get a full AfD to settle the issue completely with consensus from a wider set of eyes. ♠PMC(talk) 00:25, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been tagged as disputed, original research, and point-of-view since April 2015. Numerous editors have discussed in detail on the Talk page the problems of this article. It is one sided, focusing almost exclusively on the merits of Legitimism over Orléanism and Bonapartism (neither of which are given much space in the article). Furthermore, this article lacks credible sources for the amount of content it contains. Despite well-made arguments on this page, this material is not encyclopedic and does not contribute meaningful, reliable information to the Wikipedia reader base. Ultimately, it reflects almost exclusively the original research of User:Reigen and the content is entirely biased and disputed.

  • Delete per WP:NUKEANDPAVE. I agree with what FactStraight said a couple years ago: "This smacks of original research". This is an OR-fest of opinion with almost no reasonable sourcing for the topic. I'd been fine with a nice, quiet PROD but I'm ok forcing this through so it can't be re-created. In 2015 this was translated from the fr-wiki article (which is still a mess, indicative of the subject) and hasn't gotten any improvement in sourcing or coherence since. Google Scholar shows a couple possible sources but I can't see much if any of this convoluted bullet-point miasma being useful to the task. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NUKEANDPAVE. I didn't even know this was an option when I proposed it for deletion. I think the French article needs to also be deleted, but that would probably require somebody capable of writing coherently in French. I can only read French coherently :-(  – Whaleyland (Talk • Contributions) 03:09, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Legitimists, Orléanists and Bonapartists do exist, in French we speak of the 3 rights. A quick search on the french wikipedia leads to fr:Les Droites en France which is lauded by France Culture as a classical work. Another google search lead to [6] and [7] which sum up the subject quite well.
  • Keep but prune -- The earlier part of the article seems to list the issues succinctly, making this useful in providing an overview, and leading to more detailed articles. I suspect that the latter part is getting close to WP:OR, but I am not expert on this. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete with no prejudice to recreation when/if sources become available. Right now there are no sources out there that do anything other than establish that this film exists (WP:ITEXISTS) and can be watched. While yes, the film has views on YT and Amazon reviews, neither of those are things that give notability on Wikipedia, nor does it gain notability from other, related films or from its director or actors (WP:NOTINHERITED). What is needed here are things like news articles or in-depth mentions in academic sources, which I can't find. I tried doing a search in Khmer using Google Translate, but couldn't find anything either - although my search with that is quite limited. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 19:04, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to Tokyogirl79 post 19:04, 10 February 2017. Hi Tokyogirl79 , my reason for the mentioning the 1,479,959 now 1,509,242 YouTube hits and the 8 reviews on Amazon were not to give notability on Wikipedia. They were to indicate the level of interest in, and recognition of the film that doesn't come when something isn't notable. There are notable films on Wikipedia that don't have that many views on YouTube or reviews on Amazon. It rarely happens!. In an article about notable and respected Cambodian writer Mao Samnang, occasionally called Mao Somnang or Mao Som Nang, journalist / activist Socheata Vong comments in relation to her article "Who is the Cambodian ‘Rabbit Novelist’?" about Mao Samnang that the film "proved to be a success when it was on the screen". Karl Twist (talk) 10:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is that stuff like that can be manipulated. You can purchase views on YouTube and Amazon reviews. Now I don't think for a moment that this is the case with this movie, however the fact is that it's easy to purchase things that make an item look more popular and it's happened often enough to where we can't even use those as something to justify that there's interest in something and use that to argue for inclusion. It's part of the reason why things like WP:ITSPOPULAR exists. It's insanely frustrating, especially with topics that by all accounts should have an article, but don't have the type of coverage that Wikipedia requires. I've run into this a lot with indie books and movies that have fairly large followings but fall *just* short of what is required on here. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 16:28, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well anything can be manipulated but that's not the case here. Be a bit like saying George Benson doesn't play on his own studio recordings. None of us are there when the recording session takes place but we're pretty sure that the liner notes on the album are correct that he plays the guitar where credited. The thing as it is with Khmer movies, we can't hope to access all that has been written about them in their native country. We have trouble even finding a little bit. This film has strong indications that it is notable. What's written in the Phnom Penh Post, the YouTube hits, the Amazon reviews, most of the reviewers have history reviewing multiple items, comment on the film by journalist Socheata Vong etc. In the past I have gone into libraries and found stuff fairly well to extensively covered in books that Bing, Google, Yahoo seldom or don't even mention. I appreciate what you say but I have every reason to believe that this film is well known and documented in it's own country. Quite possibly even in Laos and Vietnam. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 09:35, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Amazon customer reviews will never be seen as a sign of notability for the reasons I stated above. It doesn't matter if the reviewers are long established on there or not - they're seen as a WP:SPS even if we ignore the fact that someone can purchase reviews. I can understand where you're trying to come from with this, but these are arguments that will not hold up at AfD. If this is kept then these are arguments that can be very, very easily destroyed if someone decides to contest it at DRV or re-nominate it for AfD. The arguments for this have to be based on current policy. Heck, even the NBOOK guideline for bestseller lists specifically eliminates Amazon's bestseller lists as a source. That aside, a non-notable film or product can still get a lot of reviews on Amazon and other e-commerce sites. I've seen more than one self-published book get a large amount of reviews. It's actually one of the more frustrating things about indie and self-publishing, as you can have things that are huge in the SPS blogs yet never meet GNG because they aren't talked about in RS. I have friends that have popular books and/or films, yet they fall short of GNG. The bottom line is that if you want this to be kept and you want to ensure that it's kept in the future, you need to find an indication of notability that's in a place Wikipedia considers to be reliable. I'd recommend asking for help at the various applicable WikiProjects for help - I'll even post at WP:CAMBODIA. It's just that it's unlikely that you're going to get a solid keep without something Wikipedia would consider a RS. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 19:31, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply to K.e.coffman post 01:16, 27 February 2017. The Youtube link is not supposed to be the official channel. It's provided here to merely to serve as an example of the attention this movie has been getting. Again, the problem is that looking through Western goggles, the vision is tunneled when it comes to a country such as Cambodia. With the amount of interest that it has generated on Youtube, it's got to be more than a sure bet that this film has been covered by media in it's own country. The views are up to 1,600,503 now. Socheata Vong said that the film was a success it it's country. The article on the Phnom Penh Post alludes to the high probability that it is notable.

If an editor wants to take it on as a project, then please draftify. It has sat way too long without improvement to the sourcing to let it remain in the hopes that someone will put the effort into it it needs. Onel5969 TT me 01:47, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Biography of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for municipal office, minimally sourced to a smattering of WP:ROUTINE local coverage in the local media with just one obituary to suggest any wider notice at all. There's just not enough substance here to justify an article, or enough sourcing to clear WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 01:52, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep or wait the sources are legit, and I think he passes GNG, as being a public figure, though local.L3X1 My Complaint Desk 02:06, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A figure of purely local notability, such as a local activist who ran for but never won any political office that would constitute an automatic WP:NPOL pass, needs to be sourceable to more than just the routine level of local media coverage that would be expected to exist before they can claim to have passed WP:GNG. If there were 15 or 20 different sources being cited here, then GNG would be passed — but just three or four sources isn't enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:11, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How would you characterize the Globe and Mail article about him? Or the CBC's coverage? What more does one have to do as a figure in Winnipeg politics to achieve notability? Bangabandhu (talk) 03:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Globe and Mail is a simple obituary, published in the paper's column where anybody can eulogize anybody they want, even the old woman down the street whose notability claim would amount to "she turned out to be a nice person once I got to know her". (And no, I'm not making shit up just to be dismissive: this "Lives Lived" column about the deaths of ordinary non-notable people really does exist.) So it would be acceptable for some supplementary verification of facts after passage of GNG had already been demonstrated (frex, by Globe and Mail coverage of his career in local politics contemporaneous to the time when that career was underway), but cannot be a bringer of GNG in and of itself because it's WP:ROUTINE local coverage of the type that a figure of exclusively local notability would be merely expected to have generated. The CBC coverage comes from the CBC's local bureau in Winnipeg, not the CBC's national news division, so again it would be fine for verification of facts after passage of GNG had already been demonstrated but cannot be a bringer of GNG in and of itself. What one has to do as a figure in Winnipeg politics to achieve notability is either hold an NPOL-passing position (mayor, MLA, MP), or be sourceable to more than just local media as notable beyond Winnipeg for more than just existing.

  • Keep as its almost comical that this person would be considered nothing more than a "non-winning candidate". The extant sources are more than adequate to establish his notability; there are plenty more not cited that describe his writing and activism. Such an interesting person and entry, such a disservice to readers to delete. Bangabandhu (talk) 03:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We do not keep articles just because somebody might think the topic was "interesting". We keep articles based on whether the topic passes a notability criterion or not. I'd also note that for someone whose userpage identifies you as living in Washington DC, you sure seem a lot more interested in rushing to the ramparts for Winnipeg's local city councillors and political activists than you are the numerous articles about US politicians of comparable local notability who are also up for AFD right now. Are you maybe just wikistalking me to contradict any AFD I initiate on a politician instead of actually personally caring that much about Winnipeg? Bearcat (talk) 18:18, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Putting aside the nativist implications of why someone from the US might want to edit foreign pages, that comment is about as unfair as it is inaccurate. If you'll look at my edit history you'll see that I've taken identical positions on similar articles unrelated to you or Canada, like this one. What the Winnipeg entries seem to have in common, other than your nomination of them, is that they're better sourced and written than much of what appears on this page. I do think that Wikipedia should be about creating good content and that deletion should be a last resort, which is seldom the case in these discussions. In this instance, the subject is routinely referred to as the most prominent activist in the city. From just a couple articles, there are interesting, even fascinating anecdotes about his work, like how he persevered in his work even after even having his legs amputated.Bangabandhu (talk) 04:34, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can imagine the possibility of his death making him more notable than the norm, given the suggestion that it may have been a politically motivated assassination — but that would require a lot more substance and sourcing than has actually been shown.

  • Keep Pakhomov was a member of the a city council for a major municipality in Russia (over 500,000 residents). Given our systemic bias against non-Anglo topics, I am inclined to agree with Bangabandhu that other sources can and should be added. Moreover, his death was reported as a worldwide event, with stories in the New York Times and other major news sources.--TM 21:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At Talk:Frederick Achom#Semi-protected edit request on 1 February 2017, a new editor claiming to be representing the subject has relayed his request that the article be deleted because it contains "negative information". Normally when the notability is marginal and the subject requests deletion, AfDs result in delete. The question for this AfD is whether the notability is more than marginal. He was listed as one of the top 100 most important business people of African or Caribbean heritage in the UK Powerlist (referenced to the Guardian [13]) and "London's 1000 most influential people" (referenced to the Evening Standard [14]) both of which are short and vague descriptions of his activities. The remainder of the "positive coverage" is simply press releases and PR puff pieces, not published in mainstream media. However, his most detailed coverage in the UK mainstream is "negative". It relates to his conviction and prison term for a wine investment fraud in 2000 and a 2016 conviction for running a company while barred from doing so after a further fraud in 2002 (covered in the Financial Times [15], Evening Standard [16], and The Spectator [17] as well as the specialty wine press. Note that the WP article was created as a puff-piece and has since been subject to editing by multiple paid editors and socks of same attempting to restore the positive-only version. At least two have acknowledged payment for editing the article. For more background on what went on there see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 105#Frederick Achom. On balance, I consider the notability marginal. The only significant coverage of him has been a few articles about the wine fraud episode in 2000/2002 and a further charge stemming from the episode in 2016. The rest is puff-pieces or outright PR and very brief mentions on "The 100 list". I see no evidence of a lasting impact made by his activities or businesses. Given the subject's desire to be removed, I would support deletion. Voceditenore (talk) 14:29, 1 February 2017 (UTC) Updated by Voceditenore (talk) 18:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- the subject is more than marginal and solicits funds worldwide, it is in this light that the page is (now) an excellent resource to anyone approached by Achom looking for some balance prior to entering a commercial relationship. Multiple awards and repeated coverage in clearly reliable press (FT, Forbes) whether in a negative/positive light, make this one to keep. The request to delete the article seems to me to be a final solution now that the article has gone from a glowing advertorial on the subject (see original verisons) to balanced. This is exactly what wikipedia is about people. Please keep. AMStephanyUK (talk) 21:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- the notability is indeed more than marginal, something apparent in the fact of multiple awards and repeated coverage in obviously reliable sources. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Noting that the notability is very marginal indeed, and that per WP:BLP and the fact that the person desires deletion, ties go in favour of deletion. Being listed as one of the 100 most powerful businessmen of African or Caribbean origin in the UK Powerlist is not, IMO, a "notable award" at all. Nor is being in the list of 1000 most powerful Londoners a "notable award." That list includes Bip Ling, Simon Hammerstein, Matt Hermer, Nick Jones, Piers Adam, Nick House, Charlie Gilkes, Duncan Stirling and a host of other "luminaries". It is not a "notable award" by any stretch of the imagination. A majority, as far as I can tell, of the "news sources" are actually simple "press releases" and, as such, far down the totem pole of Wikipedia. SPS press releases do not establish notability. Lists of thousands of non-notable people are not "notable awards" at all. And the "repeated coverage" is non-existent. For example the New York Times cite has ZERO mention of Achom. Yet is one of the "reliable sources" averred to exist. It is about "The Scotch" and not about Achom, does not mention Achom, does not imply that Achom is notable, and is a clear case of adding purely tangential "sources" to a BLP devoid of actual sources. [18] is a press release. [19] is a press release. In fact, almost every source for his business is - a press release, or barely rewritten press release. Delete it.

  • Comment. I am thinking that Achom could be notable enough for an article because of his high-society visibility coupled with his multiple convictions and run-ins with the law - not so much for his "business successes". Shearonink (talk) 18:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Marginal notability. Leaving aside his criminal activities, his companies/clubs were the main focus of most of the popular press. There are some 'Black X etc etc' list entries but nothing really high profile (or even medium profile). Regarding his wine fraud - he had the bad luck to be caught at a time when a crackdown on wine fraud was in place. A few years earlier or later and he would have been lucky to hit the press at all.

  • Keep (noting later merge !vote) . As before, in my opinion Mr. Achom's notability doesn't rest so much upon his asserted successes but upon his various legal problems he's had over the years coupled with his visibility in the UK media. On a smaller scale it could be said to be reminiscent of Bernie Madoff's notability - Madoff's notability does not rest so much upon his asserted successes but upon his high-society lifestyle coupled with his notorious legal issues and his subsequent convictions. Shearonink (talk) 20:02, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: With regards to notability, I do not think this is at all a question. I've seen AfDs voted and closed 'keep' with just the occasional trivial mention in 2-3 respectable sources (something I dispute as being 'significant'). With regards to the subject's desire to be deleted, I'm not sure of the official stance of the organisation, however my personal view is if it is accurate and neutral with every single contentious issue backed up by reliable and trustworthy sources as per WP:RS, it should remain. This is really nothing more than a compendium of public domain information.

  • Delete Seems to be a case of Wikipedia:Attack page. Secondly some of the editors that worked on the page are already blocked for "edit warring" and "Conflict of Interest". The artcle creator is also blocked. There's also evidence of undisclosed paid editing as seen in the nominator's post. Marginal notability is also a factor here. Most of the references border on the negative aspects of the subject. Finally, the subject Mr. Achom as said earlier also wants the page deleted whereas millions of others both notable and non-notable want to be on Wikipedia. So, let the page be taken down.Laosilika (talk) 09:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I was asked by Frederick Achom to make a request for deleting this page. He is requesting that because of the negative information posted in the page. He also assured me that the person that created the page has been blocked because it was discovered he was paid to do so.
Ok. So. 1)Request has apparently been made by the subject himself but is there an OTRS ticket saying such? Does WP have any kind of confirmation that this editor actually speaks for Achom? 2)Does it matter for the purposes of this discussion if the subject has made such a request? Well now...it shouldn't. I am certain that there are many WP:BLP subjects who would like negative (but sourced) information deleted from their articles. Does WP acquiesce to their requests? No. So. The Wiki-question now under consideration on this page is: notability and that alone. After innumerable COI editors - paid and not - have had their editorial mitts on the article deleting the negative information, recrafting the article into a puff piece again and again, now the subject apparently just wants the whole thing to go away. So, let's take a look at the various Notability guidelines that might be in play in this situation.
There's WP:PERPETRATOR (which in this case would be about Achom's run-ins with the law) which states in part: The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities. So, if the victim can be thought of as being notable enough, then the obverse should also be true - that the perpetrator of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities.
So, for the purposes of this discussion let's say that a national celebrity who commits a crime can be the subject of an article. Is Achom a national celebrity in the UK? I would think so. But is he notable enough for a standalone article? I think Achom is notable enough of a subject for an article but looks like quite a few people think not. I think that there is an alternative to deletion (of the entire content of this article) that has not been mentioned yet. It would seem to be a good fit for Merging into Investment wine.
I would like to mention that some editors in this discussion are mentioning that this article is a WP:ATTACK which is defined as "a page, in any namespace, that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, these pages are subject to speedy deletion." Well, if this article is only a poorly-sourced or unsourced attack page, then why wasn't it subjected to speedy deletion? Shearonink (talk) 02:01, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the 1000 most influential people in London at any given time are not all default notable. We should err on the side of privacy with living individuals unless there is a strong case to keep the article, and there is no strong case to keep the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:04, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree with Shearonink, that there is no way this could be characterised as an WP:ATTACK page and deleted on that basis. In fact, if anything it covers his non-criminal activities and alleged achievements in inordinate depth given their triviality and their references to press releases and obvious PR plants. It certainly was not created as an attack. It was a paid-for article verging on the advertorial created in 2013 and thanks to the ministrations of multiple paid editors and socks became even more so over the next 10 months, until an IP added the information about the fraud (quickly reverted). It wasn't until 2015 that a series of IPs re-added the material about the fraud convictions with references, and then yet more paid editors kept trying to have the material removed until the page was finally protected from non-autoconfirmed editing. A few paid editors who were autoconfirmed kept trying to remove the fraud convictions, but to no avail (and rightly so, the fraud assertions are referenced to highly reliable sources). This is what I am sure has led to the current request for deletion. Where I do disagree with Shearonink is on Achom's status as a "national celebrity" irrespective of his convictions for fraud. A few puff pieces, obvious PR plants, and his inclusion on the "PowerList" do not confer national celebrity. The kind of coverage he has received in that respect is non-existent in the mainstream national press. Note that much of the stuff that Achom has put about in the press is vastly exaggerated. His "ownership" of the The Scotch nightclub is a case in point. He was not the owner at all, simply an investor and a rather minor one. See this. Incidentally, shortly after he invested in the club this edit was made to the Scotch article by an obvious paid editor. Voceditenore (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. I think the best outcome for this article would be to merge the content about Achom's wine businesses & convictions into Investment wine. *(Not sure if this should be counted as a change or not from my above comments since my previous post about this was to Keep.) Shearonink (talk) 18:22, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the subject maintains his own 'puff' site [20] which features no mention of his past criminal cases, the article justifies its existence by providing a crowd-edited, credibly-sourced perspective. As someone up-thread noted, the negative material in the article is more than outweighed by the positive. 110.148.115.116 (talk) 08:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- notable for brushes with the law. Separately, this will perhaps be a lesson to marginally notable businesspeople to not pay to have articles on them created. (I note that the article was created by Special:Contributions/Reuvengrish who has been blocked for sockpuppetry). K.e.coffman (talk) 10:08, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Passes WP:GNG. The subject of the article runs their own site that portrays them in a very positive light, ignoring anything remotely negative. If they really did want to disappear from public and business life, then agreeing to their request to remove the article from Wikipedia would have more substance. Our readers might reasonably expect Wikipedia to have a page about them, so we should keep our more nuanced NPOV biography. Edwardx (talk) 21:07, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well sourced with public domain information, this page provides a public resource as per AMStephanyUK's rationale. No Swan So Fine (talk) 14:48, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for the following reasons:

1. Notability is clearly marginal (only tilting to negatives) and in line with WP:BLP.

2. The subject desires deletion in line with WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE

3. There have been several cases of undisclosed paid editing both for and against the subject.

4.The article creator is paid to create this and he or she has been blocked.

5. Some editors that worked on the page are already blocked as a result of undisclosed paid editing.

6.The current state of the article seems as if it's meant to defame the subject for whatever reasons!

7. The page has been a battleground. This is against the policy of wikipedia which says"Wikipedia is not a battleground"

I believe wikipedia is much more that this stuff. Let these points be considered before the final decision is taken pls. So, I agree with all others that voted delete here.Fatima 77 (talk) 10:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fatima, "this stuff" represents Wikipedia at its very best. Though the subject desired its creation, it has now overcome its spurious start by paid editing and has become a well referenced biography. It is not Wikipedia's fault that the individual has lived their lives in such a manner, we would opposed the deletion of political biographies on the grounds of "negativity" or "battleground" status. The subject now seeks its deletion, we should oppose any further opacitising of references. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:33, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I take GREAT exception to the allegation that the above editor has made that there have been "several cases of undisclosed paid editing both for and against the subject".[emphasis mine] It is a matter of record here on Wikipedia's pages that there have indeed been multiple instances of editors being paid to make edits favorable to the subject, I am unaware, however, of any editor being paid to edit against the subject. Seriously? This editor is making the allegation that some unknown entity has been paying editors to make edits against the subject? Who would pay for such editing?
And, by the way, there is no defamation if the statements under consideration are verifiable and true. Shearonink (talk) 04:34, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


More Insight I just stumbled upon this thread. I believe it throws more light to the questions raised by Shearonink and the issues on ground. Have a look at this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive919#Persistent_adding_of_unsourced_puffery_on_page_Frederick_Achom

Both editors involved have been blocked. One was in favor of Achom, the other was against. You can see accusations of paid editing both for and against the subject. Indeed, the page has been a battleground.Fatima 77 (talk) 18:48, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is a separate matter entirely - those particular editors were blocked for their bad behavior. Aliopuka was blocked for having multiple accounts/socking see here, NihartouJason was also blocked for being a sock. and these "accusations" you speak of that these two socking editors were flinging back&forth at each other are in and of themselves absolutely meaningless. If it was a matter worth investigating then a case should have been filed on the appropriate Admin-noticeboard. I actually remember NihartouJason, I interacted with him a few times, he was indeed a sock but he was also very open about the fact that he was paid by someone to make the Achom article into a puff-piece. I am unaware of any editor being paid to edit this article in a negative-POV way, if there was a case filed at some WP-noticeboard please do post it here.
Oh, and the fact that the article itself has been a "battleground"?... Wikipedia does not just delete content simply because the subject is a battleground. Shearonink (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is time to revisit this article for being deleted. Back in 2009, there was no consensus, suggesting that it ought to be looked over again to see if it is relevant. I'm nominating this article to be deleted because it fails WP:TRIVIAL with major third party sources, and it is only covered extensively through some local media, which lacks WP:GNG.

  • I don't like it  Yes, this is a !vote from WP:ATA, and is intended to be refutable by editors who want to maintain this POV sink about alcohol excesses, college rebellion, and litterbugs.  I looked for places that this is used on Wikipedia, and it hasn't been worth mentioning in the articles at either the colleges or local communities.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:23, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This topic was mentioned at Isla Vista, California but not linked properly (it linked to the old name, Floatopia), so I just fixed that. Isla Vista is the unincorporated place where Deltopia takes place; it isn't relevant to the articles about the nearby cities. It was also mentioned at Large Emergency Event Digital Information Repository but not linked, so I fixed that too. I want to emphasize, as you acknowledged, that "I don't like it" is not a valid argument - as encyclopedia writers, we are not supposed to pass judgment on topics, but to cover them neutrally to inform our readers. Having few links from other articles also isn't necessarily a problem (WP:ORPHS). Dreamyshade (talk) 08:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the feedback.  I was aware of the "See also" at IV, which seems to mean that I erroneously only searched for "Floatopia".  The two links you've cited increase the value of the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:37, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • IAR delete without prejudice to anyone who actually wants to come along and write an adequate article on the topic. Regardless of the fact that it technically passes GNG—which it does—this is one of the poorest articles on Wikipedia, and consists effectively of a long list of anecdotes, trivia and incidental mentions, jammed together to create the appearance of a noteworthy topic. Given the time it's existed without anyone making any attempt at improvement, the "someone will improve it if we leave it in place" argument doesn't stand up. ‑ Iridescent 16:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I can appreciate the IAR prefix to your vote as the reasoning doesn't follow the current set of policies and consensus. While anyone would be hard-pressed to defend the encyclopedic quality of this article (and I'm certainly not going to defend it!), in my opinion an AfD discussion should determine whether the article has the notability required to justify a standalone article. I believe that in this case, and to your point above, yes it most certainly does pass WP:GNG, which warrants a stand alone article. Again, to your point, I think there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Article-quality or content shouldn't/doesn't factor in to notability, otherwise all stub-classed articles would be immediately deleted for (lack of) content quality alone. GauchoDude (talk) 14:38, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as all the sources offered as "significant" and "sufficient" are in fact only simple stories and the article as a whole is unconvincing for a both improved and sufficient article. Such common event stories as these have nothing else convincing but the basic event itself. SwisterTwister talk 22:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article can be improved with the many available reliable third-party sources; it shouldn't be deleted just because the current state isn't very good (see WP:RUBBISH, WP:NEGLECT). This topic has substantial coverage from regional news, including the Santa Barbara county press and San Luis Obispo county; topics don't need to be of substantial nationwide interest to pass WP:GNG. And it has coverage outside central California - the 2014 riot was covered by Associated Press, noted as a large college riot in this list, covered by the LA Times in this article and several others. From 2013, a related death reported by Bay Area news. Note that you can find more sources by searching for "Floatopia" (the previous name), such as a LA Times article in 2010 and this NBC Los Angeles article in 2010. I believe this Wall Street Journal article about San Diego discusses Isla Vista as well, but it's paywalled so I can't see it right now. It's also part of this article giving context to the murders in 2014. Regional public radio covered it in 2015. Dreamyshade (talk) 08:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC) Update: the 2014 riot was also covered by CNN and NPR. Dreamyshade (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment and analysis since no one else has: I see that each single of those are simply for the event itself, so WP:NOTNEWS applies, because even the simplest ones are simply general stories about it; the fact this event itself has only occurred a casual 3 times (2010, 2011 and 2014) shows it hasn't been consistent enough and in fact, the latest ones were everyday stories. Had there been a larger significance here, that would've been different but this overall has a better form of being in another article. WP:GNG is not a policy, and WP:NOT in fact is, where it says "Wikipedia is many things but it is not a newspaper", which is the case here. Since sources have been offered, I examined them each time but I still see nothing but general journalism, of which is not an automatic factor of notability here. We also cannot copyedit something of which has not occurred again, which is why it wouldn't matter since there's no meaningful changes to be made (event has not happened since 3 years ago, put aside the few recalling news the year after it). In fact, the article itself has nothing but simple general information about each time it happened, thus WP:NOTNEWS still applies as we're not an event gazette. SwisterTwister talk 03:47, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The current article says Floatopia/Deltopia happened in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014. Deltopia also happened in 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016, not mentioned in the article yet. The 2013 Deltopia had a balcony collapse that injured several people. Floatopia also happened in 2006 as a smaller event. Overall: it's an event that has had 12,000 attendees some years, has been happening annually for about 10 years, has substantial regional news coverage, had a riot reported in nationwide news, and has inspired similar events in at least two other California college communities. There's enough material here for a decent Wikipedia article; Isla Vista, California should have a couple sentences about it, but stuffing much into it would unbalance that article.

  • Comment Here's a UCSB student newspaper article from today about UCSB preparing for Deltopia 2017 by planning to spend "$30,000 to $40,000 on advertisements urging partygoers to stay away from Isla Vista during Deltopia weekend". Deltopia involves notable expense from the California public university system as well as the Santa Barbara County police department (with support from other regional and state police departments - Lompoc, Santa Maria, Santa Monica, Ventura, California Highway Patrol).

  • Retain status quo, i.e. weak keep - Even if the topic doesn't meet GNG, the topic already meets other parts of WP:notability, like WP:NRV. If it doesn't meet WP:N, then it already meets WP:V#Notability. Somehow, the "delete" comments I see are (implicitly) based on attitudes toward student culture gone running amok. The "delete" arguments convince me that merger is possible, but I can't think of a good target article to merge into. Looking at the intro, the event has been done by UCSB students. The content may still have value. If default to kept, maybe I can ask other related WikiProjects to improve the article. George Ho (talk) 21:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

K.e.coffman, isn't that more a problem with bias on the part of the sources (which are used to determine notability)?

Delete. WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor, in a city not internationally prominent enough to hand its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass, and as a non-winning candidate for higher office. While consensus formerly accepted Winnipeg as a city that got its councillors into Wikipedia on the grounds that it was listed in the article on global city, that's more recently been deprecated because it was listed only in the "sufficiency" class of quasi-global cities and not as a true alpha, beta or gamma class world city. But what we have for sourcing here is not enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu -- this is based entirely on either primary sources or routine coverage of the election results themselves, with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes to demonstrate a city councillor as more notable than the norm, which is the standard that Winnipeg's city councillors now have to meet.

  • Delete city councilors in a city of this size are not default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep This politician has a colorful history and one that is of interest to readers familiar with Winnipeg politics and others, like myself, who just like reading interesting entries. In terms of Wikipedia guidelines, he clearly satisfies GNG. Now it seems that editors who frequent these pages have developed a "consensus" about certain cities as being not notable enough for inclusion. I wonder how many editors were involved as I know I am astonished that this could be determined with any degree of impartiality. I hope that common sense will prevail and wholesale deletion of notable entries merely because of a city's population size will stop. Bangabandhu (talk) 23:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that his wife said something stupid on social media once is neither a notability claim in and of itself, nor substantively enough about him to clear the "notable because media coverage of him exists" bar — the article is not about Gord, but about Lorrie. Bearcat (talk) 22:50, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Except he's not only notable because of his wife. That's just one of many points that could be added to make this a rich, meaningful entry. He's run for mayor, among other things. I fear that on the one hand, editors are wary of allowing notability on one event, but at the same time, they're wary of notability based on a multitude of many, small events. So the only qualification for notability becomes when there is a presumption of notability for someone's position. Which is really unfair to all these folks from Winnipeg.Bangabandhu (talk) 16:56, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Running for mayor doesn't assist his notability at all — a politician's notability is measured against WP:NPOL by the levels of office they have or haven't held, not by the levels of office they ran for and lost. Running for mayor and losing does not make a city councillor any more notable than he would be if he hadn't run for mayor at all — it only boosts his notability if he wins the election and thereby holds the mayoralty.
And when it comes to local politicians of purely local notability, our job is not to be "fair" to the locals — it's to be encyclopedic. Canada alone has about 4,500 municipalities with local municipal councils, each of which has anywhere from 5 to 45 members depending on the city, resulting in tens of thousands of articles about municipal councillors for Canada alone if "exists as a municipal councillor" were all it took to get someone into Wikipedia. Multiply that by 180 other countries in the world, many of which are up to ten times larger than Canada and have up to 50 or 60 thousand municipalities with local councils, and that's simply unsustainable — which is one of the reasons why our notability rules are designed to exclude most municipal councillors unless they can be properly demonstrated as significantly more notable than the norm.
In an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, our articles frequently get misused as either public relations hagiographies by the subjects themselves and/or their fans, or as magnets for attack editing and criticism by their opponents — and our quality control model, of relying on the oversight of other editors to prevent those things from happening and/or remove them from the article when they do, works well on high-profile topics but falls flat on its ass very quickly the narrower a person's sphere of notability gets. An inappropriate edit to Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau or Theresa May will get caught within minutes, because a lot of people are reading and watching and monitoring those articles — but an inappropriate edit to a city councillor's article can linger in the article for months because the article isn't generating enough traffic to get bad edits caught and dealt with. So that's why we have to exclude a lot of topics of purely "local to a single area" notability — not because we're dissing them, but because below a certain level of nationalized prominence we can't guarantee an adequate level of maintenance.
So the way to make a city councillor notable enough for a Wikipedia article is not to state that the people in that person's own city might be interested — for one thing, if Winnipeggers were that interested, then the article would already be in a much better state than it is, because they would have edited it into something more substantive and better sourced than this. Rather, the key to making a city councillor notable enough is to demonstrate a reason why readers beyond the city itself might be interested: not why would a Winnipegger care, but why should a Torontonian or a Bostonian or an Angeleno care. Why would a large number of people be interested in reading and editing and maintaining and quality-controlling it. Bearcat (talk) 15:21, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this, I'm just seeing it now and wish I'd seen it earlier. There are some good points in here. The most important one that hadn't occurred to me was how aggressively enforcing high standards of notability is needed to reduce the number of pages so that there's more eyes on existing pages to fight bad edits. I need to think about the implications of that some more. I really really don't like stuff that's unsourced, way more than I am bothered by stuff that might not be considered significant enough for inclusion, but didn't think about how they were interlinked. They're definitely related. But if we were concerned about the level of traffic to these pages - which is important - I think a better way to address that would be to increase the number of links between entries. I haven't seen the number of links to an article mentioned as a consideration once in these discussions; it seems like that ought to be an important point for whether an article stays or goes if we want to make sure there are enough eyes on it.
I know we've talked about the city size issue a lot but another consideration around that is that its really the number of people they're representing rather than anything to do with the municipality itself. In NYC there are thousands of people in official positions far, far less significant than these Canadian councilors. So if we need a shorthand way to gauge significance I think we can do much better than anything related to the city's ranking. Bangabandhu (talk) 04:18, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
One more point/question: Are all previous editors to an entry notified when its considered for AFD? It seems like that ought to be done as a matter of policy. They have work and time invested in this and are well suited to see if the article can be brought up to whatever standard we're applying. Bangabandhu (talk) 04:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I added some of this to the article, and I think its notability is clear now. The academic article also has footnotes listing additional commentary on the series. In addition, this show may have won an AWGIE Award, as stated by Screen Australia [25], but I would prefer to find a firmer source for that statement before adding it to the text. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:46, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE and listcruft CatcherStorm talk 14:13, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. After all, there are lists of female Cabinet Secretaries and the like. There aren't many cabinet secretaries who have been there forever, but more than enough to have an article dedicated to them. There was one who was appointed by McKinley who was basically ignored by his two sucessors and lasted sixteen years, three secretaries of the treasuries lasted more than ten years, much of FDR's cabinet lasted longer than he did and a few of Harding's appointees lasted well into the Hoover administration Arglebargle79 (talk) 14:19, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The above argument actually makes the point for why this is an "indiscriminate" list of cruft, not comparable to list of top-level distinctions such as female or another demographic. Delete per nom. JesseRafe (talk) 16:10, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
how is it not comparable and "indiscriminate"? This is a very specific list. Besides, there are lots and lots of lists of officials by "length of tenure." This is very discriminate. Eight years isn't arbitrary, after all, only ONE President has been in office for more than eight years. That there's a very select group of cabinet secretaries that have lasted a decade or more is quite notable.Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:17, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It needs sources, preferably sources that specifically discuss the tenure length of the subjects. But I hardly think this is indiscriminate.

  • Keep per UltraExactZZ, Lepricavark, Arglebargle79. This is not a random list, it is clearly defined, and given how few of these there are out of all who have held the positions, it is definitely of interest. Probably useful for historical and political studies, whether of the positions themselves or of broader topics.
    Drdpw, what do you mean by "List is a WP:FORK"? To quote that project page, "Mirrors and forks of Wikipedia are publications that mirror (copy exactly) or fork (copy, but change parts of the material of) Wikipedia." All the references are to U.S. Government pages (*.gov). If you have a relevant guideline in mind, please name and link it; if not, you have no argument.
    Some comments about the article as a whole:
    • Criterion and title: Have there been other Cabinet Secretaries who served under more than one president, even if for less than eight years? For example, appointed during Presidentx's second term and reappointed by Presidentx+1, but didn't stay a total of eight years? Frankly, when I saw the title of this article I thought the whole idea was to list cabinet officers who had served under more than one president, rather than ones whose tenure in office exceeded a criterion that just happens to be the limit on how long a president can serve. And that, I believe, would provide a much more appropriate title for the article, especially if there have been cabinet officers who served more than one president but for less than eight years.
      And what about service in different cabinet positions? Would someone who served in two presidents' cabinets but in different capacities (if there ever have been any, which seems more unlikely the more I think of it) be included?
      Even in terms of nomenclature, the current title is inaccurate. The second member of this elite group (I've just added a "Years of service" column to the table, which allows a chronological sort) was Attorney General William Wirt, who was not technically a "Secretary" at all.
    • Title format: "List of United States Cabinet Secretaries Who have served more than Eight Years" — What's with this scattershot use of capital letters? Sure, the first word and the name of the country are no-brainers, and "Cabinet Secretaries" has some justification even though it's not being used as a title with a name. But "Who"? "Eight"? "Years"? According to MOS:TITLE,
      [Unlike the usual rule for English-language titles], for names of Wikipedia articles and of section headings in articles and pages, generally only the first word and all proper names are capitalized.
    So, if the title is not substantively changed, it should at least become "List of United States Cabinet Secretaries who have served more than eight years"; if all the mods I've suggested are adopted, something like "List of United States Cabinet members who have served under more than one president"; else, something between.
    • If the article is kept, all these sub-bullets of my comments will belong on its talk page, but I thought it worthwhile to bring them up here.
    • Please {{Ping}} me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 06:54, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First off. William Wirt was in the Cabinet. Thus he was a "Secretary." In the US, a "Secretary" is the same as a European "Minister." Second, this list is people who were in office a VERY LONG time. All but one served more than a decade. Cabinet Secretaries usually don't last long, usually two or three years. Those who served under more than one president usually were there when a president died and didn't last very long under the "former Vice President." For example,Taylor's cabinet resigned en masse almost immediately as they didn't like Filmore very much. They technically served in his administration for a week or two. From the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries, the old president's cabinet would meet with the new president the day after the inauguration and leave office the day after that. Does this mean they served under more than one president? Reagan was nice enough to appoint a couple of Bush's people to the cabinet in his last year in office but they didn't actually serve any longer than most in the cabinet. Franklin Roosevelt was unique and will remain so due to the 22nd amendment.
It might be nice to have a list/article on Cabinet members by length of service, but there are too many of them and most served less than one presidential term. That's why this list is necessary. Arglebargle79 (talk) 13:30, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Thnidu: If not for this AfD I would have moved the page to "List of United States Cabinet members who have served more than eight years". When it is closed I will move it unless someone else moves it first. (I don't have any fundamental objection to making it "...who served under more than one president" but I think you should gather some consensus first, and in the meantime I don't think there would be any harm having it at a slightly nicer title in the meantime.) - CRGreathouse (t | c) 05:32, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You make good points about duration of term vs. raw number of presidents served under.

You wrote

First off. William Wirt was in the Cabinet. Thus he was a "Secretary."

[citation needed]. Otherwise it's WP:OR, and I'm not even sure what it means: "Secretary" = "Cabinet officer"? That sounds circular:

  1. "Secretary" = "Cabinet officer"
  2. Wirt was a Cabinet officer.
  3. Therefore Wirt was a Secretary.

No, I won't buy it. Where does it, where doesanything, say that? And analogy to titles in other systems of government ("Minister") is even further off target; let's leave them out of it altogether.

Cabinet of the United States says

Aside from the Attorney General, and the Postmaster General when it was a Cabinet office, they all receive the title of Secretary. Members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the President; the President may dismiss or reappoint them (to other posts) at will.

I don't think it is wise to confuse the reader by focusing on the terminology. That said, though, perhaps the title of this should be changed to use "Cabinet members" instead of "Secretaries". It's obvious from the definition of their posts that the Attorney General and Postmaster General are Cabinet members. It is in no way obvious that they are "Secretaries". --Thnidu (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The burial in the national cemetery is verifiable and the award of the medal does meet WP:ANYBIO The existence of the bibliography in this article with specific dates and issues is what tips it for me. If we had access to these sources in front of us, it would be reasonable to assume that the coverage would be substantial enough to meet GNG.

Article about an open source competitor to Slack that appears to have been written by the software's creator.

Because open source software with paid services is becoming a major business model (see Red Hat for probably the most prolific of these). Your website suggests this is also your business model. It's a fine business model, but to suggest that promoting a free product that you make money off of by providing services towards is not a type of spam is a bit disingenuous.

  • Comment I am confused. I looked at the references from related articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appium I honestly cannot understand how their references meet the guides and ours doesn't. As you can see on the article's history, it was considered for deletion but "declining because of changed circumstances since 2013: "Appium win in 2014 the Bossie award of InfoWord about the best open source desktop and mobile software". Repost to AfD to challenge notability again." Isn't this double standards? Both projects have won the same awards, but in our case this is not considered as important.

  • Delete -- unremarkable software; sources are weak and awards are not significant and well known. The content is advertorially toned and belongs on the project's web page, not here. See for example:
  • "In an interview with Open Source Delivers, founder Gabriel Engel said: “[…] above all, it’s the collective effort of the community, pushing the project forward. It’s really unbelievable at times to see that kind of dedication and how far we’ve come.”
I assume this is the same Gabriel Engel who has commented at this AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:46, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment reviewing the sources again, I stand by my original opinion that the coverage does not meet what we are looking for under WP:ORGDEPTH. Most of the sources are simply inclusions of the company in a list, and as K.e.coffman has pointed out, the awards are not significant awards. That combined with the WP:PROMO nature of the article, means that we should delete it. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Teeters was 6th best in the world in 2015 in 60 meter dash (see IAAF best indoor 60m athletes). 60m is an event in the IAAF world indoor championships, so doesn't this mean he passes WP:NTRACK? Jrheller1 (talk) 06:27, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Nom has misspoken. As Jrheller notes, the 60 metres is an IAAF World Indoor Championships event. So being ranked in the top 6 in the world on the annual list clearly passes WP:NTRACK #8. The current champion is Trayvon Bromell, who Teeters ran against in the same collegiate conference many times. I believe (based on so far, unreliable blog sources, so I haven't added it to the article) Teeters holds victories over the world champion Bromell and over triple Olympic medalist Andre De Grasse. As you know NTRACK is based on the presumption of meeting WP:GNG. Google his name and you will find pages of coverage, a lot of it related to his being "the fastest white American of all time." Because of the racial component, I added that to the article as a quote. So even beyond the specific of NTRACK, he clearly also meets GNG. Trackinfo (talk) 07:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Teeters also passes NTRACK criterion #9, and he does so by quite a margin and in an event (the men's 100 meters) where you'd expect better-than-average media coverage. I'm not entirely happy with the sources I can find online, but there's still articles like this, this and this. Sideways713 (talk) 18:01, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as we actually base these articles and subjects by WP:ENTERTAINER because it's best applicable and she's not satisfying it, not because of the mere number of works, but because of their significance, none of them inherit notability and the article shows nothing else to confirm a significant career; we improve and ultimately show improvements when they're conceivable but they're not in this case, and even English or not, shows she's not had any major works. To search for sources, I went here and found nothing but mere announcements and mentions, none of which help; next, FinnishWikipedia is far different from our standards and, like several others, articles have been unchanged there for years, so because this is the EnglishWikipedia, we base our things ourselves.

Have you revisited the article? While it is still what I would consider a stub, I have fleshed it out a bit & added a source for every statement. Merely being a stub is not a criteria for deletion.

  • Delete - Article and sources do not establish establish notability per guidelines. Fails WP:NACTOR basic WP:GNG as subject has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Article has been "reference bombed" with a lot of sources that do not meet this requirement. Most are short mentions of the subject with nothing of substance. CBS527Talk 04:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Question / Comment - @Cbs527:: In the statement that "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" there are three criteria. While allowing that "significant coverage" is debatable, which of the thirteen references fail the "reliable sources" & "independent of the subject" tests? I did the "reference bombing" as you call it, & the point was to ensure that each & every statement in the article is supported by a reference. I would like to determine why you doubt their reliability & independence. In addition there is at least one tertiary source, Elonet, which is Finnish National Audiovisual Archive, which I believe that all the editors in this discussion should have no problem accepting as a reliable & independent source.
Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Additional criteria states that "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards." Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers states "1. Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Joanna Haartti has:
  • Appeared as the lead role in an Oscar nominated short live film
  • Has appeared in two TV series, one a comic reality show, the as the lead in a dramatic series
  • Has appeared in the lead in several plays, most significantly IMHO, as Billy Tipton in Soita minulle Billy [Call me Billy]
  • I also would argue that she brings a certain LGBT cachet to her field as a highly visible lesbian who has played a transgender role.
WP:BASIC states "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." There is certainly a number of multiple independent sources (again 13 different citations). The question then becomes how many sources are required when discussion of a person is brief in most of the sources & yet that person has appeared as the lead in plays at renowned Finnish theatres & festivals, a TV series, & an Oscar nominated short film?

Reply to above Comment @Peaceray:
The sources may be sufficient support a statement in the article but establishing notability is a higher standard.
I was referring that for the purpose of establishing notability, WP:GNG requires a topic to meet all three requirements of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". In this case, the significant coverage criteria. None of the sources seem to meet that requirement. As Finnish is not my native language, I have no knowledge if the sources are reliable or not. For the purposes of this discussion I am assume that they are reliable. I respectfully disagree that the sources meet WP:BASIC as most are not secondary sources (ie:database listings) or are trivial mentions.
Current sources in article:
1. Subject's listing in Actor Association of Finland
2. Subject's listing in Finnish movie database
3. Listing for performance of play "Call me Billy " at Theatre Jurkka
4. Another listing for performance of play "Call me Billy " at Theatre Jurkka
5. Subject isn't mentioned in article at all
6. Mention in "Finnish MTV" that actress was seen on the red carpet at the Oscar award ceremonies noting she was in a nominated film.
7. Mention that subject was in season2 of Finnish MTV Waterfall.
8. TV listing for Ghost Author
9. Brief mention as current partner of Minna Haapkylä.
10. Article about relationship with Minna Haapkylä
11. Article about Minna Haapkylä -several mentions as her partner.
12. Same source as #2
13. Listing in Finnish Film site
  • 1,2, 12 and 13 are simple listings in actor/movie databases. Coverage insufficient to fully establish notability per WP:NFSOURCES.
  • 3, 4 and 8 are listing for showings time of film or play. Coverage insufficient to fully establish notability per WP:NFSOURCES.
  • 6 and 7 are trivial mentions. Coverage insufficientt to fully establish notability per WP:GNG.
  • 9, 10, 11 have to do with relationship with Minna Haapkylä. WP:NOTINHERITED.
Note: appearing in an Oscar nominated short in itself does not establish notability nor being a lesbian actress per WP:NOTINHERITED. CBS527Talk 19:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Peaceray - Thanks for merging above reference #12 into #2. I agree that replacing #8 above with the Elokuvauutis source does provide more information but it still is a TV listing announcement. I have tried to find some sources, both in Finnish and English, that the "Haamukirjoittaja-sarjassa" was a notable TV series but so far I have been unable to. The fi.wikipedia article doesn't have any better sources either. CBS527Talk 15:43, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Putting aside the issue that neither Wikipedia nor IMDb are valid sources for establishing notability, her roles in A Man's Work (film) and The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki are rather minor roles and thus don't qualify for WP:NACTOR, Crit.#1. CBS527Talk 15:43, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that a Wikipedia article about a film doesn't her notable. However, the prerequisite for a article on a film is that it is notable (WP:NFILM). Hence, if there is a Wikipedia article on the film, that film has met notability standards. If not, the article on the film should be deleted, right? Therefore, all three films are notable per Wikipedia standards. What that leaves is the question of whether she had a significant role in multiple films.
Of the three films I listed, Do I Have to Take Care of Everything? shewhich won an academy award for best short film, in which she is the lead. In the other two she is listed respectively 7th and 9th on the IMDB pages of the other two films, both significant. --David Tornheim (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2017 (UTC) (corrected 19:08, 25 February 2017 (UTC))[reply]
Neither Wikipedia (see WP:WPNOTRS) nor IMDb (see WP:RS/IMDB and WP:USERG) are acceptable sources for establishing notability. 100's of articles are added to Wikipedia every day and a number of them do not meet the criteria of notability. That is why we have AFD discussions.
Haartti did have the lead in Do I Have to Take Care of Everything? but it certainly did not win an academy award. Her roles in A Man's Work (film) (an unnamed women) and The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki are both minor roles with very little screen time or importance to the plot. That's not enough to satisfy WP:NACTOR. CBS527Talk 18:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the typo, which I have corrected here. I did look up the Finnish translation of "Nuori nainen 2" and that does mean second woman, which I agree does not sound like a big role, but still ranks high on the list. What WP:RS evidence do you have that she had very little screen time in either of the second two films?
If you contend that any of the three films is not notable, then why not submit them to WP:AfD? I see no point in arguing over the notability of each and every film here and then a second time at WP:AfD. Until then, I am presuming that the WP:RS that continues to justify their existence is sufficient--especially since we are looking at them right now.
I invited more comment from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Actors_and_Filmmakers and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Assessment. Hopefully one or more new editors will arrive who have expertise in film and make an appropriate judgment. I really don't see why so much text has to be used on this WP:AfD when she was a lead in a film that won an academy award. You are the only one who seems to be invested in deleting it. The others who sought to delete do not appear to have considered the academy award winning film or these other roles. I really don't see the harm in keeping it when it is that close. Seems to me we should err on the side of inclusion. --David Tornheim (talk) 19:52, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • With all due respect, please read WP:WPNOTRS, WP:RS/IMDB and WP:USERG. What is contained in other Wikipedia articles or what is in IMDb is irrelevant to the discussion. Simply put, they are not reliable sources as there is no editorial oversight.
  • You have noted that she was in an academy award winning film. I'll assume good faith on your part, but you are mistaken, she has never been in any film that has won an Academy Award.
  • Additionally, your suggestion that I "seems to be invested in deleting it" is off base. I am "invested" in having verifiable articles and I do not believe this article meets the policies and guidelines concerning notability for the reasons I have stated above.

  • Weak Delete - This is a tough one. Without understanding the significance of most of the stage roles she had at the Finnish National Theatre, it is difficult to ascertain her notability. The fact that they are not listed as leading roles (unlike the role she had at Theatre Jurka - but what level of theater is that?), makes me believe that they are supporting roles. But again how significant. Neither this article or the article in the Finnish WP has sourcing for her stage work. If someone can find sourcing to show that these stage performances were significant roles, than I'd be more than willing to switch my !vote. Right now, the film work surely does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. Onel5969 TT me 01:29, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This movie had a brief flurry of media attention in 2014 when its trailer was released and several people who participated reacted negatively and publicly; after that more or less nothing; the few reviews in mainstream media mainly followed up on the prior controversy driven by the trailer. It does not have enduring notability as required by N. I had boldly merged it to Robert_Sungenis#Geocentrism and redirected, but the article was restored here. There is no reason for this article to exist, as all that is needed (and that it deserves per N) is at Sungenis article.

It is not uncommon that some rush of press over X appears later to be just 15 minutes of fame and indeed most of the sources about this movie are actually about angry participants, not about the movie per se.

  • Delete (keep merged). The brief attention makes for minimal notability for the controversy, not the movie. This coupled with a barely notable article that survived deletion as no consensus add up to a scant one article worth of material.

The Sungenis article barely survived AfD as "no consensus" (IMO, "no consensus" BLP AfD's should default to "delete", but that's an argument for another day), while the film AfD was unanimously kept (and appears to be cruising to another "keep"). The "broader subject" is irrelevant. There is no consensus as to whether or not Sungenis is notable, but there's clear consensus that the film is. Thus, if any merger is necessary (and it may very well not be), it's obvious that the bio would be merged into the film's article. Joefromrandb (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It seems that notability, if any, is confined to Israel. The museum shows, mentioned above, are actually group shows, which is vastly different from having a solo show or being in the permanent collection. It's therefore difficult to verify the notability, and to say whether it's purely local or something more significant. The article needs significant cleanup. Google books returns little.

It not only provides a WP:RS bio (birth, education) It links to a page showing exhibitions of his work in galleries and in other major museums, including the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art.

E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC) My error.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:59, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CommentE.M.Gregory, I believe the page you linked to above to prove notability is actually just an index of Israeli artists. When I click the "collections" tab, then search for his name, I get nothing. Here is the page for S-named artists in the Israel Museum's permanent collection. Eero Saarinen is at the top, and Slutzker is not on the list. The page linked to above also lists 100s of artists whose surname ends in S, meaning the collection would have perhaps 5000 different artists in it (200x26), which would be a truly massive collection. Conclusion: slutzker is not in the Israel Museum permanent colleciton. Now, if one checks the Wikipedia page for the Information Center for Israeli Art, which is the name given on the page you linked to above, it does say they have text files for over 12000 artists. Having a file folder in a museum with your name on it and paper reviews inside is not what WP:ARTIST refers to when it says the artist has their work in the collections of a major museums. The other museum shows you mention (the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art) above are all group shows, and not permanent collections, so they have no bearing on point four of WP:ARTIST. Also apologies for the confusion, but my router's periodic reset means my old IP of 198.58.162.176 is now: 104.163.152.194 (talk) 08:52, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, point four of WP:ARTIST does not command a solo show, but requires "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art are major Israeli museums and the shows there bring the artist to a National Level of notability. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 09:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would encourage a closer look at the museum shows that you argue would establish his notability. For example, the show "Blue-and-White Delftware" at the Tel Aviv Museum was a show of "hundreds of ancient Delft tiles, vases, plates and more—as well as works by ten Israeli ("blue-and-white") artists who "corresponded" with Delft, including Raffi Lavie and Yair Garbuz, and by artists especially commissioned to create contemporary Delft tiles." Translation: Slutzker was asked to do a plate or tile in Delftware to be exhibited as a contemporary example along with hundred of other historical examples. This is not a "significant show" by any means. It is not substantial either. A significant and substantial museum show is when you get a few rooms with your work in it, or a solo show. Museums assidously preserve evidence of substantial museum shows on their web sites. The Israeli Msueum of art "Artic 7" show is similary not significant: it is a group show of eight artists. Nothing comes up searching the show title. If these were significant shows, rather than the routine exhibitons that they are, it would be easy to find sources. Finally, I'm not sure if you noticed, but this arists is about 29-30 years old at the moment. It's rare for artists under 30 to be involved in serious and significant museum exhibitons.104.163.152.194 (talk) 02:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Because it is paywalled, here is the opening paragraph from the 2011 article: "Tal Slutzker, barely 25 years old, has decided to stage the first full-fledged, high-profile solo exhibition of his paintings. Some would ask, "Why so soon, when the artist is still so young?" Others, however, who are familiar with this young man and aware of his resume as an artist, are demanding to know what has taken him so long. " Teh article mentions early participation in group exhibitions and, "A now notorious "one-painting exhibition" in the window of the Tova Osman Gallery in Tel Aviv, showing the enormous derriere of a nude woman in a bathtub, stopped both pedestrian and vehicular traffic in front of the gallery on Ben-Yehuda Street." And continues " And then, around 2006, Slutzker simply fell off the radar and disappeared from the local art scene. The young prodigy, after a few heady years of acclaim, decided to quietly hone his skills and develop as an artist. Little or nothing was seen by him or heard about him for the next five years or so. Until now. " The 2011 exhibition, called "Where is My Mind," was at the Bernard Gallery in Tel Aviv.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in independent references. Nearly all the refs provided are from the company or clear PR sites. The two exceptions a Finnish language blog and a Finnish language IT magazine, both deadlinks. Blogs are not WP:RS. The IT magazine coverage cannot be assumed to be significant unless someone can provide a link or confirm they have read it. The Gartner 'magic quadrant' mentioned above has the same problem - it could be an incidental mention unless someone has $1000+ to pay to read the report to prove otherwise. With no clearcut, RS, significant coverage, there is no basis for keeping this. Also, Article was created by an SPA as possibly promotional.Dialectric (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Every "source" is just the Clash of Clans website itself or a YouTube video. Which makes everything a primary/self source or synthesis in relating the happenings in a video with no third-party mentions at all. Seems to not be notable in the least except for the popularity of the game on which it is based, but that doesn't confer notability to this.
