Article goes no where near proving it meets WP:GNG, sources in article are poor including fan sites. Whilst this may be a notable club it should not automatically gain a season article in my view. In addition its not been updated since September, is a mess made up mostly of stats and is of no net benefit to the encyclopaedia. Season articles are of no benefit if not updated. Should either be deleted or reduced to a stub. Blethering Scot 22:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. References are the usual low quality mix of self-published/press releases, and mentions in passing. Company doing business as usual; WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES, WP:CORPSPAM. Also, clear WP:COI>created by the company's employee, as they themselves admitted on article's talk page (no, COI is not a reason for deletion, just another red flag suggesting that nobody outside the company itself thinks it is notable). PS. Ping User:Chrissymad who nominated it for speedy; I skipped prod since the creator posted an argument for keeping it on talk.

  • Well, it's borderline. You seem to be correct about the refs -- there is a mix of PR stuff and mere-mention stuff. I'm not seeing any magazine articles about the entity, interviews with the founders, stuff like that. It's highly questionable if the entity meets WP:CORPDEPTH, assuming you exclude self-generated material and press releases. On the other hand... if they have 900 people and operate in several countries (assuming that's true, which I do assume), it's not like they are a local shoe store. They're a significant entity. This is merely a press release, but assuming it is true (which I do assume), they were named to the Software Development Times 100 (albeit in one category, Rich Client). Software Development Times has an article here so I guess it is not just some guy's website. So that's something. But they may be a mere logrolling rag which publishes press releases and gives out awards hoping in return for advertisements from recipients; I don't know. Doesn't look like it.
I tend to be inclusionist for entities like this -- we're not paper, so why not have the material, since somebody's already contributed it? -- so I'm not going to vote them out. Or in, either. I guess it's a question of whether one thinks "900 people and operate in several countries" is the kind of entity we ought to have an article on, or not. Herostratus (talk) 22:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment According to WP:RS, those are listed as unacceptable references for the purposes of ascertaining notability. I agree they appear to be a big company and one would assume such a company would have been written about in independent third party sources. I've haven't done an extensive search but I only see company-generated PR and announcements or passing mentions (all of which fail WP:RS) so I'm leaning towards Delete. Or to put it another way ... how do we really *know* they have 900 employees and operate in several countries if all the the information we have to go on was produced by the company. It could be all bogus. -- HighKing++ 17:42, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as it's actually simple, the information is all emulative of what their own press releases would say and the sources are then announcements and mentions, both of which are not what substantiates notability here, the history also shows there's been no attempts at confirming any policy-backed improvements. Overall, the article shows clear signs at company involvements. In fact, WP:CORPDEPTH itself states such sources are not independent since all overfocused specifics are naturally going to be by and for the company. We ourselves established policies against such company webhosting because it starts to affect and damage the encyclopedia and what it is, so simply keeping as is for fun, isn't what we considered genuine substance. SwisterTwister talk 04:56, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, for review. Ok, I agree that some links did not meet Wikipedia policy. I removed them. I am ready to delete all links and facts from the history of the Сompany, which are not suitable for Wikipedia. To make you more well disposed toward the article, I want to discuss some of its links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RichFaces - Wiki page about famous Exadel's product RichFaces. You can read this fact in History chapter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat - wiki page about Red Hat Company. They wrote about the agreement with Exadel about the distribution of its software. http://www.park.by/it/enterprises/?query=Exadel&staff=&lng=en/ - the link which navigates to the site of High-Tech Park of the Republic of Belarus. You can see that Exadel is its resident. This organization belongs to the state and will not place false information. The Information about Belorussian High-Tech Park is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus_High_Technologies_Park; https://appery.io/about-us/ - this site provides information about Appery.io mobile application (Exadel's famous product).http://sdtimes.com/forecast-2016-predictions-around-industry/2/ - Fima Katz(CEO of Exadel and Appery) is being interviewed for CDTimes magazine. https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/exadel-javafx-plug - another famous product(Exadel JavaFX plug-in) of Exadel. I didn't hide that I am an employee of this company. It is written in my profile. If you advise me what to correct in the article I would be very grateful.Natallia Sasava (talk) 21:20, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Natallia Sasava: Dear Natallia. Thank you for participating in the discussion. First, if the article would end up beind deleted, you can request that it is instead moved to your sandbox for future refininng (WP:USERFY); even if the conclusion is that the company is not notable now, it could become notable later, so your work wouldn't have to be wasted. Second. While I wouldn't rank Belarus government as highly truthful (dictatorships and truth are not best friends) , I agree there is no reason to doubt [1]. But while the company may and likely does deserve a mention of its name at Belarus_High_Technologies_Park, the fact that the website of that location mentions is does not help in estabilishing notability. That website is pretty much a WP:PRIMARY type of a resource; a de facto directory listing, and as such is not a good source. Being listed in a directory is not an achievement that grants notability. This doesn't even mention the company; that an employee is interviewed may relate to the notability of the employee, but not company, since notability is not inherited between entities. Product pages similarly don't confer notability. If there are reviews of the product, etc., it may deserve an article, but doesn't particularly affect the company. Well, if a company has produced a number of notable products, this usually is an indicator it is notable, but we would have to see the list of products, and discuss which one are notable. And frankly, the RichFaces you mentioned has very poor references and as written, should likely be a subject of its own deletion discussion (fails WP:NSOFTWARE, IMHO). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:56, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Piotrus for your time and efforts. 1. Just you were sure that Belarusian Hight-Tech park is not so bad organization I provide you link to The Wall Street Journal about it:) - https://www.wsj.com/articles/belarus-is-emerging-as-the-silicon-valley-of-eastern-europe-1481032802. 2. I removed again some of inappropriate links and added one https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/exadel#/entity (not sure that it is matches your requirements) 3. In case if this article is not suitable for Wiki I would be happy to move it to the sandbox. Should I write a separate request for it? 4. I have also 2 interesting links: http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=931555&privcapId=931537 - profile of Exadel's CEO Fima Katz on Bloomberg site & https://clutch.co/profile/exadel - Exadel's profile on clutch. Could you help me whether they are OK with using them in the article? Natallia Sasava (talk) 12:23, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • First, you don't have to remove links. Links to conpany website/etc. are not sufficient to provide notability, but they can be used as references for some facts (ex. if only your own website states the number of employees, there is not better source for this key fact, etc.). The Clutch website doesn't seem like a very reliable source. The profile they have reads like PR, and I would be surprised if it weren't written by one of your employees. Such sites, reposting PR/press releases/etc. are not treated as good sources. Similarly, Bloomberg profiles, while more reliable due to its provider reputation, are also usually written either by the subject/company employees, or based on materials sent by them to Bloomberg. Further, as such websites do not make it transparent what are the criteria for inclusion, we have to assume they include anyone who pays them the fee, and as such, inclusion in such directories is not seen as saying much about the company's/person importance. I assume you have read WP:NCORP. An argument for company's notability has to be based on that. Good sources include coverage in reputable media, and winning major (not minor) awards. Since you expressed the wish to have the article moved to your userspace if it is deleted, I assume the closing admin will read it and will do so instead of outright deletion if this is the conclusion of the debate. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:52, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, I agree that article needs to be moved to sandbox for further improvements in case it is not suitable for wiki now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Natallia Sasava (talkcontribs) 11:55, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I see no prospect that further work on it will show notability , and I therefore suggest plain deletion, without moving to user space, where it will remain forever. DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • We've added a few new links that may increase notability and improve credibility - link to eclipse community, to oracle (these references are very competent in IT-world), please take a look. And anyway we need some time to find evidences and improve article so if notability is still under question please would you be so kind to move our article to sandbox to continue work on it.

Although the article has a bunch of links in its references section, none of them are actually about the book that is supposed to be the subject of the article. Many are website biographies about the author. The author herself is probably notable, but the book does not seem to be. I don't believe it passes WP:GNG or more specifically WP:NBOOK.

I don't think we should be comparing monasteries. Those are not comparable. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:06, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom and WP:NOR. These monasteries don't even have articles. (Zealandia?) Clarityfiend (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. What, none of the Buddhist monasteries in the entire Asia-Pacific region are notable? This will be huge, the editors have barely started; review the original concept. I'm thinking more columns, including ratings on adherence to each of the Ten Precepts. Jack N. Stock (talk) 02:23, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. I added a little to what is clearly a work in progress. This could become a great place to start for those interested in this topic. There are a few hundred Buddhist monasteries in the Asia-Pacific region that have WP articles and can therefore be assumed to be verifiable and notable (Tibet, China, India are all in Asia-Pacific). A neatly organized table with brief summaries of their features must be considered notable. Yes, there are other lists, but nothing like this that I could find. For example, List of Buddhist temples is just a list, no summary, and doesn't focus on residential monasteries. Another example, List of Tibetan monasteries could be helpful to editors of this list, but it is less geographically extensive, and includes ancient monasteries that have been destroyed. Jack N. Stock (talk) 03:43, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • If the argument is that you don't like comparisons, then perhaps move it to another namespace. That isn't an argument for deletion. As for WP:NOR, I can't really see that here. The creator is not visiting every Buddhist monastery in the Asia-Pacific region, there are clearly sources but they are not being cited by the inexperienced creator. The better response is to mark with the "citation needed" template, and perhaps some additional coaching. As this article was created yesterday and the only maintenance tag was "orphan" added a matter of hours ago, this is a premature AfD. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:06, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This seems to be a touristic guide to monasteries even though it doesn't describe itself as such. Wikipedia is not a directory. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:45, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Those listed so far don't seem to be monasteries that are of tourist interest (unless it's a touring monk or nun). Jack N. Stock (talk) 06:12, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are comments like "Accommodation Styles: ... Huts, Motel, Dormitory ... Cabins, Camping ... Limited numbers of guests are able to stay. Food is provided by alms-givers and there is no monetary charge." Only 7 monasteries have been listed so far, all in Australia. The table also has columns for "Retreat Type" and "Volunteer Roles", but none of the entries have been filled in yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Monasteries are residential, so accommodation style is a relevant part of the description. The part about "...limited number of guests... food provided by alms-givers..." was added inappropriately (for the context) by me (although I'd argue that sort of information is relevant to monastic life). I couldn't find info about where the monks and nuns live, so I just added what I could quickly find.
        • As for the limited info so far, the article was only started on Sunday. The creator has set a big task and it will take time and help. Even so, if it was just an overview of Buddhist monasteries in Australia, that in itself would be a notable. An individual monastery may lack sufficient notability for a stand-alone article, but a description of Buddhist monasteries in Australia (in which two or three are sufficiently notable for separate articles) or an overview of Buddhist monasteries in a multi-national region (in which several hundred are individually notable) is notable.

Fails WP:NAUTHOR with no in-depth secondary sources about the person and only weak support (a Bookseller review quote of "I actually believe this may be the first book on the subject"?) for being "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique". Of the three sources added in response to the second prod, Brand Admiration appears to be a footnote, Nation Branding is a chapter written by Jackson himself and The Business of Entertainment spends a page and a half quoting Jackson but tells us nothing about him.

Delete. WP:BLP of a musician and filmmaker, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC or WP:CREATIVE and no strong reliable sourcing to get him over WP:GNG. Nearly all of the referencing here is to primary sources and blogs which cannot support notability -- and the few genuinely reliable sources are all parked on one live performance, which just makes him a WP:BLP1E. Outside of that live performance itself, the only other real notability claim here is that he and his music exist, but "he exists" is not what gets a musician a Wikipedia article -- "he can be reliably sourced as passing NMUSIC for something" is, but that's not being shown here at all.

  • Keep he's a world famous busker and a lot of links are legit sources (Exclaim, The Canada Winter Games, Festival du Nouveau Cinema and all the Seal coverage). Add his filmmaking and the Elisa Jordana's show (Howard Stern), we have a notable artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.89.83.98 (talk) 17:52, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
174.89.83.98 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
The Canada Winter Games and the Festival du nouveau cinema are not media outlets — a person does not get over our notability criteria for those things, if the source for those things is those things' own self-published websites about themselves. Doing music for the Canada Winter Games does not count as notability until media are writing and publishing content about his music for the Canada Winter Games. Appearing on a podcast does not count as notability if the source for that appearance is the podcast itself; it counts as notability only when media start writing and publishing content about his appearance on the podcast. And on and so forth: a person does not get to public-relations or primary source themselves into notability — newspapers and books and magazines and radio and television have to give the notability to him by covering him. And all he's got for real media coverage is "once sang one duet with one singer once", which just makes him a person notable only for a single isolated event. Bearcat (talk) 23:12, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The London Evening Standard and Niagara Falls Review citations seem to contradict your condescending "once sang one duet with one singer once" quote. They clearly shows this was the genesis of opportunities presented to numerous buskers which garnered worldwide media attention. Seal mentioning this encounter months later in many interviews make this crystal clear.
Kindly note that the London Evening Standard and Niagara Falls Review citations fail to do something very important: actually have Pitre as their subject. Neither one of those citations, in fact, even contains a single solitary mention of his name, let alone actually being about him in any remotely substantive way that would assist notability at all. Bearcat (talk) 00:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A multi-million view YouTube duet with a world famous singer is the equivalent to a Top 20 hit these days. Providing music for The Canada Winter Games (with the on-air mention in the video provided) as well as his other accomplishments should be rewarded instead of trivialized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Resealed (talkcontribs) 15:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Resealed (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
No number of hits or views or likes or retweets on any social media platform confers an inclusion freebie on a person who isn't the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. A person can get a billion YouTube hits, and they're still not notable for our purposes until real media start writing about the fact. Bearcat (talk) 23:12, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This story was covered by every major media outlet and citations seem to have been included to back this fact up. Citations from ABC News and Time Magazine back up that "real" media did indeed write "about" the fact.
The Time citation just mentions Pitre's name in a blurb, and is not about him. The ABC citation is to a YouTube video, which is something that's never permissible at all: the citation must be to ABC's site, never to any user-generated video sharing site reposting ABC's content in violation of ABC's copyright on that content. Pitre has to be the subject of a source, not just have his name glancingly namechecked within a source primarily about someone else, before that source can count as support for notability — and the context of what the source says about him has to actually satisfy an WP:NMUSIC criterion, which nothing here does. Bearcat (talk) 00:03, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
CBC News, CTV News, Global News, Montreal Gazette all make Pitre the "subject". All are major Canadian news outlets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twibalm (talkcontribs) 00:40, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Journal de Montreal and the Telegraph Journal (to name a couple more) has done lengthy pieces with Jason as a subject. The wiki page is clearly a work in progress and more will be added. Jason was also a notable Canadian adult film director and those sources will be added, for example. On at least two occasions, Seal has publicly said on video that he will collaborate and represent Jason in the near future. To be fair, I can see the non-linear aspect of Jason's career(s) to be a little confusing as his notability switches from national, to local and to international depending on the artistic merits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.89.83.98 (talk) 01:52, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Valid points regarding CWG contribution & the "inspiration" with Seal's #streetsongs. This took it beyond "that live performance" and made the artist more than noteworthy considering it helped other buskers make it to major stages around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.36.201.196 (talk) 19:47, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Entry seems to be properly sourced and can be expanded on. Comments regarding "sang one duet" are beginning to enter the territory of flaming and seem to be against the true spirit of Wikipedia, "WP:BIGDEAL" may need to be reviewed. The use of "once" also is not factual as two performances are cited. The #streetsongs movement also seems properly sourced and make this more than a one-off as it is being presented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twibalm (talkcontribs) 00:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A subject whose credits are non-notable self-produced works. Half the sources are user-contributed sites, social media, blogs, and insignificant music websites. The other half are 17 links to one of two related non-notable events: busking with Seal, and Seal deciding to use buskers for his opening act. Just because something makes the news—even among legitimate news outlets—and goes viral doesn’t make it encyclopedically important. At best, this would merit a small mention on a wikipage for Seal’s tour, re: a novel way of finding opening acts, and even then it wouldn’t be necessary to identify any busker(s) by name. I’m also troubled by multi “keep” arguments from various SPA’s with different IP addresses that disparage any attempt to point out the shortcomings of the “Keep” arguments. ShelbyMarion (talk) 18:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Exclaim.ca being referred to as part of the "insignificant music websites" should call for a review of their wikipage. There are ways to have a civil discourse without resorting to such dishonest hyperbole to make a point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twibalm (talkcontribs) 20:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Twibalm, I apologize causing confusion with a general statement about sources rather than characterizing them one by one. I agree there is no need to question the veracity of Exclaim! as a product. My reference to this particular review, however, meant to be understood as “user submitted,” i.e. accepting content from either non-professional contributors and/or those wishing to promote themselves. (see Exclaim’s own guidelines that direct artist how to “Get Coverage”: http://exclaim.ca/contact/getcoveragen). Obviously this is not the case with everything in their publication/website, but the consistency of the coverage on this subject (minus the busking incident) tends to fall in the self-promotion coverage category, something generally the fate of self-produced music that does not have label representation. A final point: you are simply mistaken by asserting this is a non-civil conversation. ShelbyMarion (talk) 23:19, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete BIO1E. I think there's probably also a WP:NOTINHERITED argument to be made given how much of this is driven by Seal's celebrity rather than independent interest in Pitre. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:21, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Page creator routinely puts up half finished repetitive "listicles" with info from other articles, often multiple at a time, and then abandons them in the hopes that someone else will finish them.

The only people here speaking nonsense are the ones pushing for deletion. This article cannot be duplicating the topic "4chan", because it is about the history of 4chan and the specific events that have happened in the course of that history. Riceissa (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete creator has argued that social media sites have timelines on Wikipedia that have survived AfDs, so this timeline has a basis for existence. Other stuff exists is no basis for keeping an article. This article adds nothing to 4chan. Mduvekot (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears to be about a memo asking for a plan and that's the only thing here that is not OR. The entire foreign coordination part refers to discussions about terrorism and ISIS without any reference to an overall plan to defeat them or any connection to this memo. We can't possibly include articles on every memo signed by a head of state and should wait until such a plan exists and is discussed by reliable sources. regentspark (comment) 14:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete As I have argued elsewhere, we cannot have an article on every statement, memorandum, executive action, and policy that every world leader announces. There is no evidence that this particular item has any lasting significance, nor that it needs a standalone article. In addition, there are serious problems with synthesis. Vanamonde (talk) 16:52, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Cannot be saved even if the OR is cleared up. Presidents routinely issue hundreds of executive orders and memoranda, and precedent is that only those of exceptional importance (e.g. Executive Order 9066) merit a standalone article.

just to add a comment , the two sections of memo read a) It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated, and b) Policy Coordination, so the parts of foreign coordination, related to ISIS', can be possibly covered in the article, as they are part of memo.

  • I was going to go with weak keep since the plan that was supposed to be drafted according to the memorandum is supposed to find itself on the desk of Trump within just over three weeks, and potentially, potentially might break new ground in terms of that war, so it's conceivable that the article might be returned to or even recreated if deleted, but the suggestions towards deletion are overwhelming, so I guess this is rather a comment. --Ouro (blah blah) 07:32, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: Actually we have a RFC that says that it is NOT reasonable to presume the existence of reliable source for beauty pageant participants. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beauty_Pageants#RfC_about_the_draft_SNG I used Google and my conclusion was that the subject of the article does not meet WP:GNG. http://www.cracked.com/article_19880_5-dumb-hobbies-you-wont-believe-have-world-championships.html The person who won the Rock Paper Scissors World Championships (the highest-level of competition in her field) in 2008, Monica Martinez, got more press (heck, some of them are reliable sources!). [8] (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 18:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. The recent RfC was called to discuss whether a particular draft guideline should be endorsed as "official", and it is inaccurate to suggest that the result prohibits any presumptions as to the existence of sources. Nor could it ever have reached such a result, because that would contradict the very presumptions that have long been accepted in many other areas in the entertainment realm. Thus, we do not demand multiple references for any person who has played baseball at the major-league level, nor for any cricketer who has played at the Test level, nor for any athlete who has competed in the Olympics. The common thread in all of these examples (as well as the many others that could also be mentioned) is that they have participated in structured competitions at the highest levels in their field. As for the "Google test", it is well-nigh useless in cases where the competitions pre-date the digital era or where the sources are most likely to have been written in languages that do not use the Roman alphabet. An insistence on using the "Google test" will only exacerbate the dual problems of recentism and systemic bias.
The Rock Paper Scissors counter-example was amusing. And if the World RPS Society ever gets around to sponsoring a structured system of international competition, perhaps we'll need to have a discussion about it. (But I trust that neither one of us will be holding our breath waiting for that to occur.)

I did a pretty extensive source check, and I'd like to congratulate the IP editor who pushed this to AFD and full source check. I did find ONE good source for notability, the Hindustan Times reporting charges that the Department was putting false information in it's admission brochure.[9] That alone not enough to keep the article, but if additional good sources are supplied then we keep the article AND we include this source too.

This topic is not remotely appropriate for a standalone article: Trump's campaign positions and policy positions are covered extensively elsewhere, at Inauguration_of_Donald_Trump#Inaugural_address, to begin with. On a slightly different level we cannot create an article for every sound byte produced by every political leader; if this particular slogan ends up having enduring notability, we can recreate it when such can be demonstrated. Delete. Vanamonde (talk) 08:31, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Wikinews is that'a way. I'm still firm that the whole lot of soundbyte articles need to be deleted, (Basket of deplorables, Alternative facts), as having basically no enduring encyclopedic value, but this is an even worse WP:NOTNEWS offender than even those. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events.
This is not only of dubious enduring notability, but it's not even clear what the actual topic is, or what even semi-objective standard could be applied to justify inclusion or exclusion of content. Besides, it's just begging for both sides to dump in as much WP:OR as they can find, that can in any way be connected to whether we are "safe again" and/or whether we were safe to begin with.

    The problem is, we really don't need a separate article for every official statement made by every world leader (or even every statement made by Donald Trump specifically).

  • Delete unless some evidence is brought forward that the subject meets any criteria of WP:PERP. Reading through that notability guideline again, however, I am very not convinced he passes, and I also am unsure of any alternative content the biography could be merged into, except a quick mention at List of people executed in Georgia (U.S. state). Yvarta (talk) 21:00, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources Here's what I found. Case of an unmotivated slaying of 2 random college students. Significant coverage in the big regional papers The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Florida Times-Union, first of the police search for a suspect, which went on for well over a year. Good detective work and public cooperation finally resulted in the arrest of Cook, whose father came to see him in jail. The jailed suspect confessed the drime to his Dad. Imagine that father's situation - the newspapers certainly did. Father reports what his son has confessed to - this is where the story really takes off. The father happened to be an FBI agent. Anti-death penalty groups argued that since Dad had not read the son's Miranda rights to him, his testimony was invalid. They appealed the Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. state), which upheld the death penalty. All of these from a quick scan of the articles in those 2 newspapers. E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely an interesting case. I'm still leaning to think that the sources' content is focused such that the case itself, and not Mr. Cook, is what could pass the notability guidelines, as I would argue that Cook runs afoul of WP:ONEEVENT. Might you have thoughts on a good topic name for the crime/case itself, which the biography could be merged to? That way the key details could be kept. Yvarta (talk) 01:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete According to WP:PERP, a convicted criminal is only suitable for a stand-alone article if "The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities" or "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role". Neither of these criteria are met. Furthermore, according to WP:1E, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role" - tens of thousands of people commit murder worldwide every year. There is no evidence this individual offender was exceptionally notable. AusLondonder (talk) 22:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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

This article has multiple serious issues, as the templates at the beginning explain it is completely unreferenced and possibly original research. This article also fails WP:LISTCRUFT as no actuall criteria is laid out for what exactly IS a Rohingya village? Is it a village with a Rohingya majority? A village were all the inhabitants are Rohingya? A village with mixed demographics? Villages that use to be Rohingya?

Also due to the ongoing persecution of the Rohingya many have fled, which means that many villages that were historically Rohingya might now be abandoned or occupied by other ethnic groups. There is no way to quantifiable access the population of Rohingya villages as they are not recognized by the Burmese government thus accurate population statistics are nearly impossible to come by. I also tired looking about ten of these villages up on google maps an most did not appear, which leeds me to doubt if they actually exist or are misnamed. Also this page was started by a series of IP editor(s) and each one 1, 2, 3, 4 have a troubled history on Wikipedia.

Lastly even if the WP:DINC argument comes up, I would argue that this article is still unfit to stand alone, if it is not deleted it should be merged with Rohingya villages. We don't have List of jewish villages pre-holocaust for example, that content is in larger articles. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as author. This article is well referenced and already beyond stub size. The article is not a redundant content fork. It is consistent with Wikipedia:Summary_style. The information already in the article could not easily be folded into any of the above-mentioned articles (Trump presidency, timeline, 100 Days) that this one supposedly serves as a "fork" from without a loss of significant detail. If any of these higher level articles contained this level of detail on each action of the Trump presidency, they would quickly become bloated. Having narrowly defined articles to cover topics in depth is completely consistent with Wikipedia's summary style. The alternative is to remove these well-cited details entirely from Wikipedia. Maybe you just don't think this action is notable because "government hiring freezes" sound boring and bureaucratic to you, but this freeze has the potential to significantly affect the operations of the United States government. Just the fact that the action was one of the first undertaken in a new presidency should suggest notability.--Bkwillwm (talk) 20:19, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep because it has implications beyond the Trump presidency; has the potential to inform future articles about government reductions. We are keeping Executive Order "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States", and I think this article has the similar potential to be a well sourced "one stop shop" for information about a potentially confusing subject.

Yes but... that "list" makes no attempt to summarize the content of each executive action. The hurricane articles at least give details about what the smaller hurricanes did. Besides, there is no simple summary of the hiring freeze at this point. As the article currently stands, it is clear that the consequences of this memo are still unfolding and making news. I think as long as there is significant confusion and lack of clarity, this hiring freeze will continue to attract journalists' attention. Peace, MPS (talk) 03:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Delete or Merge - With all due respect to others here, I'm not really getting why this can be kept other than some subjective or naive views that "all presidential memos should have a separate articles." The media attention on this (relative to everything else on Trump) is fairly low and not much have been followed since the memo was signed. It may be justified to restart the article if this have some significant effects in the coming weeks, but this is not the time yet. Content is good and complete, but it can be fittingly merged into other articles like the First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency#Government-wide hiring freeze with ease. --AsianHippie (talk) 07:26, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Since you voted a "strong" delete, I'll pick your response to request clarification as to why this should be deleted. As several others have posted in "keep" statements, no rationale for deletion has actually been presented. The sentiment from the deletionists is that not all EOs or presidential memorandum deserve articles, which is fine, but why should this memorandum not have an article? I haven't heard a specific reason. There's already enough press coverage to create a full, cited article. Why delete the material? Why try to fold it into the "100 days" article? You imply that it is speculative to let this have its own article now, but you have no problem suggesting that it be merged into the "100 days" article even when we're only 10 days into the arbitrary 100. I honestly don't understand the deletionist mentality here: The subject is notable; There are enough sources to flesh out the article; Others have taken the initiative to create the article; What's the point of deleting it? We've already wasted more resources discussing the article than it would take to maintain it, so the maintenance argument does not really stand. I'm sincerely at a loss of understanding.--Bkwillwm (talk) 04:18, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The usual standard for an EO to have its own article looks pretty stringent: for example, out of 276 orders signed by Barack Obama over 8 years, only 6 have an individual article (2%), including 4 about the sensitive Guantanamo Bay issue. Many of these articles have remained one-paragraph stubs for several years: Executive Order 13491, Executive Order 13492, Executive Order 13567. Sure, there's a lot of media attention currently focusing on every action of the new President, but most of these orders can be treated properly in the main articles purporting to their subject matter. I dare say that such a consolidated presentation is more informative to our readers, instead of being scattered among many articles which repeat each other. For a policy backing of this stance, which is in no way deletionist, see WP:PAGEDECIDE and WP:AVOIDSPLIT. — JFG talk 15:46, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think the defining characteristic for inclusion in Wikipedia is sufficient WP:RS thereby satisfying content policies (WP:V, WP:NOT, WP:NOR) and WP:GNG. So, it seems to me, the standard for a Wikipedia article about an executive order is - if there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources. I don't know how that correlates to lack of executive order coverage (270 EOs??) in the Obama Administration - other than they didn't generate enough press for a Wikipedia article to be worthwhile. Or no one bothered to create an article.---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the claimed "policies backing this stance" are actually guidelines, just for clarification. Additionally, although some stub Executive Order articles are mentioned above, this article (under discussion) has gone past "stub" on its own merits. This might be later in the conversation after this article was only stub, so that comment might be after the fact - I don't know. That sure is interesting those EO articles are only stubs - and I am guessing there is a purpose for that. And whatever the intent, I like the idea. But, not necessarily for this article. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Steve's responses, but JFG is just leaving me more confused. I don't see any evidence of an existing policy on EOs. How does the continued existence of three Obama EO stubs justify the deletion of a Trump EO? JFG links to the policies WP:PAGEDECIDE and WP:AVOIDSPLIT. JFG, have you actually looked at these pages? They only seem to bolster the argument for inclusion. "PAGEDECIDE" says a page shouldn't be split when context is necessary or when sufficient sources are not available. Clearly sufficient reliable sources are available, so what "context" is lost in splitting this article? Why is it necessary to view this as part of Trump's first 100 days? The policy has ramifications for government functions and the economy beyond the political context in the 100 days article. "AVOIDSPLITS" only has two points: the article must be notable and it shouldn't be POV fork. I haven't seen an argument on either point. Are there actually grounds for deletion beyond throwing up ilinks to WP:BS and making up policies about EOs that are contradicted by the very EO articles you reference, JFG? --Bkwillwm (talk) 05:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Serious question for you: How can it be a Wikipedia:content fork when you list 3 + etc Trump-related topics that treat this topic with at best one sentence? Doesn't saying it is a "content fork" imply it could be merged back into a single article? Which article would you suggest? And how much of the content do you think should be deleted versus merged?

  • Merge or Delete - standard and non-notable legislation which doesn't have the legs to stand as an independent article. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep The topic coverage is excellent, including the background section. This is a notable topic that satisfies WP:GNG as evinced by the (WP:RS) reliable sources available that cover this topic. It doesn't matter if it is a memo or an executive order. This topic is having a significant impact that affects millions of federal employees, would be employees, and possibly supply chain businesses. Also, the article seems to have been significantly improved since the AfD discussion has been open. I don't think that coverage of this topic in other already bloated Trump articles will be sufficient. I also don't think coverage in other overview articles will be sufficient such as "Trump's first 100 days" article. As an aside, as has been pointed out, no rationale for delete or merge was provided with opening of the discussion. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not all presidential memoranda should have an article; many would fit as a section or paragraph in a broader article. However, this article is sourced enough and long enough to merit its own article, and the memorandum's topic does not fit into a larger preexisting article. Also, note that the article has been significantly expanded since this AfD bgan. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 16:04, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Meets WP:GNG and qualifies as a valid standalone article. This is certainly not a content fork, particularly because source coverage of the topic is not based upon the premise of Trump's first 100 days as president or the premise of the general topic of Trump's presidency in and of itself. Rather, sources have covered and analyzed this particular topic itself in various forms based upon its inherent thesis and its myriad effects and repurcussions. The nominator herein states that the topic is addressed in other articles, but the content in those articles summarizes the topic, rather than providing in-depth and comprehensive coverage of it, whereas this article is well-developed. In addition to the sources provided in the article, the topic continues to receive sustained coverage right up to this very day. See below for examples of recent coverage about this topic.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Some users herein have stated that the depth of coverage is insufficient and that the topic does not meet notability guidelines, while others have stated that the topic meets notability guidelines and provided some source examples. There was some discussion about sources, with arguments and counter-arguments, but much of this is opinion-based (e.g. "... strongly suggests that it's WP:TOOSOON for this subject...", "Gizmodo is a largely known host of PR...", "Oh really? Who exactly decided this? You seem to believe everything is a host of PR"). In addition to the sources presented in the discussion, one of the users opining for retention also referred to "...other coverage" to qualify their stance, but did not present said coverage. Of note is that a user opining for deletion stated that the article comprises "spam", but others did not concur with this notion or state that the article functions as an advertisement. Another user opining for deletion refers to this topic as a company and as an organization, qualifying deletion in part by citing WP:CORPDEPTH criteria that is applicable toward organizations. However, this topic is not an organization; it's a mobile app, which is a software product and the thesis of the article. While WP:CORPDEPTH is applicable toward products, it is possible for a topic to meet WP:GNG while simultaneously not meeting the subject-specific criteria of WP:CORPDEPTH, and again, this is a product, not an organization or company. Also, as a sidenote, note that WP:PRODUCT states "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right." Overall, the discussion is mildly leaning toward a deletion outcome, but ultimately a no consensus closure is the most accurate close relative to the discourse that has transpired herein.

  • Weak Keep I think the WaPo, Gizmodo and other coverage gives enough inherent notability, but the tone needs some reworking and it needs expansionSouth Nashua (talk) 19:47, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Companies need to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH and I do not see enough sources to satisfy it here. The Gizmodo source is an inclusion in a list of similar items which is considered trivial coverage for purposes of CORPDEPTH. That leaves the WashingtonPost which is in itself a very brief review. This doesn't add up to the level of indepth coverage required. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:16, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The coverage of this app wouldn't satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. For example
  • Gizmodo - Coverage in a list of similar apps. According to our guideline, inclusion in lists of similar organizations is considered trivial coverage.
  • Washington Post - Short review and not enough on its own
  • Other sources such as Fastcompany, NYT - all of these are lists of similar apps and not useful for WP:CORPDEPTH.
Other than these, there don't seem to be any reliable sources available and it seems like this is WP:TOOSOON. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:28, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The two sources you listed are clearly dated 2015 in their links. Also Too Soon is just an essay, and not relevant here. That concerns covering things that don't exist yet. Dream Focus 01:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, my main argument is that the coverage doesn't satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. For a company, in-depth coverage is required. (Brief coverage in a list of similar items is not useful for WP:CORPDEPTH). --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We often use articles on surnames as a list or quasi-disambiguation page (see WP:APONOTE), but this doesn't seem appropriate in this case considering that we only have one entry on a person named Struse (Nicole Struse). The current content appears to be WP:OR and although deletion is not cleanup there doesn't seem to be much chance of verifying this information with reliable independent sources. I couldn't find any sources on the origins or history of the name apart from the usual mass of genealogy SPSs.

The result was delete. There is not a single source in any of these articles that is not a clear WP:PRIMARY source. Claims therefore noted below that the seasons pass WP:EVENT are entirely unsubstantiated. There is no indication that these seasons have received significant, reliable, third party coverage as a season rather than a synthesis of match reports. Claims below that the articles pass WP:NSEASONS are erroneous as that guideline is concerned solely with college teams, not their competitions. Simply put, with no indication of GNG, these articles are clear WP:NOTSTATS failures. Fenix down (talk) 10:24, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SPORTSEVENT as "Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats" and "For a games or series that is already covered as a subtopic in another article, consider developing the topic in the existing article first until it becomes clearer that a standalone article is warranted." which also results in failures of WP:AVOIDSPLIT and WP:NOPAGE. Doesn't satisfy WP:EVENT or WP:GNG requirements.

Existing consensus already achieved at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 America East Men's Soccer Tournament and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 Big West Conference Men's Soccer Tournament, which are identical situations.

Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's general notability guidelines and WP:NORG. I find lots of stuff by them but nothing about them. Most of the claims of significance are now marked as failing verification. This is a strategy often used by undisclosed paid promotional editors to get their articles to 'stick'.

  • Delete. A radio programming service doesn't get a Wikipedia article the moment it becomes possible to nominally verify that it exists; it gets an article when it's substantively the subject of media coverage about it. But of the three sources here, one is the founder's own primary source biography on the website of her principal employer, one is a glancing namecheck of the service's existence in a press release about Lord Dampnut's meeting itinerary for January 25, and the third is a glancing namecheck of the service's existence in the captions to a couple of soundbites in a mass survey of the entire White House press corps — so the two sources that are independent aren't substantive, and I'm not finding anything on a Google News search that supports notability more solidly.

  • Note. Per the HighBeam search there are numerous references to the company providing sole radio coverage of the US President roughly every 10 days, which is consistent with the size of the radio contingent of the White House press corps. By its very nature, however, pool coverage is circulated internally among outlets covering the president and audio and notes gathered by the pool are often used by newsrooms without attribution. In the White House briefing room, the company now occupies the back-row left seat of Talk Radio News Service, which no longer operates a website. Both firms were founded by Ellen Ratner and appear to have similar business models. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercuryblued (talkcontribs) 22:03, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Criterion 3 of WP:NASTRO recognizes notability if there is non-trivial coverage of an astronomical object in multiple published works. I searched NASA's Astrophysics Data System for mentions of this star in the academic literature, and to my surprise, I found that it is mentioned by name in the abstracts of 9 separate papers. I must confess that I haven't read these papers, but it is clear from their abstracts that this object has received non-trivial coverage in multiple journal articles. Thus, it passes WP:NASTRO.

  • Weak keep. WP:NASTRO recognizes notability if an astronomical object has received non-trivial coverage from multiple published works. I searched NASA's Astrophysics Data System to see whether this object has received attention in the scholarly literature. It is mentioned in 3 abstracts, two of which are refereed papers. The third is a paper from a conference. Of the two refereed papers, one clearly examines it in detail, but in the other, it's just one of 14 objects studied. It's a close call, but I think that this is just barely enough to satisfy WP:NASTRO. Here is my search query, along with the results. Astro4686 (talk) 05:06, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not sure how the notability guidelines for entertainers apply, but if "multiple" can mean appearing in more more than one episode of a notable TV production, I would lean to keep.--Andreas Philopater (talk) 16:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • She plays a main character of a Spin-off of the world's longest running Science Fiction series (Doctor Who). I do not think this is not very minor and she should be notable. --Dynara23 (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Yip, your right Dynara23, it is a spin off show. Notability is not inherited, so the fact that it is spin off is neither here nor there. How many times she has appeared in show, is neither here nor there either. scope_creep (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well I think through Doctor Who this series will still be talked of in many coming years. Doctor Who is just so big and it exists since 1963. It is the the same with other official Spin Offs like K-9 and Company, a series, where only the pilot was released and even now (40 years later) many people get to know this pilot, because it is linked to Doctor Who (DVDs, audio books etc. to the series were released decades after). I think this is not to be underrated, I think even in 10, 20, 40,... years there will be people interested in the main actors of this series (maybe more than in other actors of other series who are successful now as well). And now Vivian Oparah is also mentioned a lot in the media. I do not see why she should not be relevant. --Dynara23 (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being someone's brother is not a path to notability and while he may have had an extensive career, he fails to meet the criteria in WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and WP:N. The article lacks WP:SECONDARY support and does not have significant in-depth support. reddogsix (talk) 22:17, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I wrote this on the original talk page when asked to defend the page, so I am going to just copy and paste it here -
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...
(Matt Oswalt is the brother of one of the most famous comedians in America, but has also had a notable career all on his own. He has produced a number of series featuring the biggest names in comedy, including the late Robin Williams, and is continuing to do so. He has attended award shows nobody other than those at the peak of fame are able to attend. I find it incredibly hasty to just delete this page, which is credibly sourced by a number of highly reputable sources including The AV Club, SplitSider, MSN, HuffPo, and MTV. If this does not meet notability standards, I'm not sure how much more success this guy would need to have in order to do so.--PaulTheAirplane (talk) 23:06, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Please tell us how he meets any of the criteria in WP:GNG, WP:BIO, or WP:N.
  • Being someone's brother is not a reason to be that included in Wikipedia.
  • Being a producer is also not a path to inclusion.
  • Attending award supports nothing in the Wikipedia criteria for inclusion.
  • The references are not in-depth or significant to support inclusion. reddogsix (talk) 17:19, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, Importance
First and foremost, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to make the claim that his brother is what makes him notable. He has undeniable success all on his own and has worked within the comedy community alongside important figures for years and years as a contemporary, and not as a tag-along brother of a more famous sibling.
As well, I'm not saying he has merely been a producer. He has rather been a "showrunner" if you will, appearing onscreen in each episode of his Puddin' Strip program, which, again, featured a large number of comedians and actors that have all been deemed "notable" enough for Wikipedia with careers highly similar to the one Matt Oswalt has had. WP:ENTERTAINER
Furthermore, your outright dismissal of the sources is rather unhelpful. I've included 14 separate articles that all comfortably pass the threshold of credibility, a number of which do indeed speak *at length* about his work and career. These are not personal blogs I am citing. These are industry publications like AV Club, SplitSider, Huffington Post, MTV, Salon, and Complex. He's appeared on highly notable programs on basic cable alongside highly notable public figures for years and years. That alone qualifies as "verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability." WP:SIGCOV. It's also proof that this is not "temporary" notability. WP:NOTTEMPORARY
As of now, it seems rather obvious we aren't going to come to an agreement, because you, RedDogSix, seem to have made up your mind immediately, and obviously I want this article kept because I wrote it. But upon referring to the edit history, user Ritchie333 also deemed this notable enough to remove the initial speedy deletion tag. If nothing else, It would be incredibly unfair for the fate of this article to rest in RedDogSix's hands because he has a clear bias which as of yet has not been reflected by anybody else. This user is the only person proposing a deletion. It is crucial that we get other opinions before making a decision.
But to be honest, and I've stated why, this doesn't even meet the criteria for deletion, let alone SPEEDY deletion. That's simply hasty and unproductive.
And as a last note, I want to state that I do not know Matt Oswalt personally. I have interacted with him perhaps twice on the internet, and I consider myself a fan. He does not know who I am, of this I am sure, so the tag about "having a close connection" is false and should be removed. --PaulTheAirplane (talk) 00:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Lets see if I can address your comments:
When an article mentions in the first paragraph, "... [he is] best known for being the younger brother of comedian Patton Oswalt," that sure implies his Wikipedia notability is based on his brother.
You cite WP:ENTERTAINER; however the individual fails to meet the criteria in that notability guideline.
The references you have provided do not provide in-depth coverage, they are little le more than passing mentions.
You have misinterpreted Ritchie333 removal of the CSD, the bar to remove a A7 is relatively low and does not insure the notability of the article. Ritchie333 Was only indicating an A7 was not appropriate, and did not comment on overall appropriateness of keeping the article.
You say I have made up my mind about the article, you are correct in that I have given my opinion the subject does not have adequate referential support to warrant an article, not if the article should survive if adequate references were to be found. If you want the article to survive, I suggest you provide adequate references, without better referencing, it will probably be deleted.
No one has said you know the article subject; however, if you have been in contact with him as indicated by the picture, it shows there may be a conflict of interest. reddogsix (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so you say he doesn't meet the criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER. While I find that criteria all a matter of opinion anyway, allow me to explain why I feel he fits. By the numbers, he has 118,000 unique followers on a verified account who frequently interact, myself included. I consider this an instance of having "a large fan base or a significant "cult" following."
As for his having "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment," his work has been covered extensively by SplitSider, Salon, Huffington Post, Complex, MSN, and The AV Club. These articles are not just passing mentions as you inaccurately claim. And whereas the other articles are perhaps from slightly less notable publications, he is still the subject of them and not just merely mentioned. Topics covered in these articles include two programs he created, wrote, produced, and appeared in - both of which had appearances by A-list celebrities like Alyssa Milano and Robin Williams. His work with Jash is both notable and his most recent work.
I'd say that also qualifies him for him having "Had had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."
So, in terms of WP:Entertainer he comfortably clears the bar. That was the only thing you had issue with in my initial rebuttal.
I'll say it again, I'm not sure how much more you want. I really don't know how much more notable he could be. It's almost as if you are punishing him BECAUSE he is Patton Oswalt's brother. If that were not the case, I highly doubt you'd be questioning his notability.
I'll also say again that I sure hope we get a second opinion here, because if this gets deleted due to your personal opinion and your opinion alone, that's very unfair and undemocratic. --PaulTheAirplane (talk) 02:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
118K in followers only shows he may be popular, being popular does not evoke or prove Wikipedia based notability. This is not a cult following.
There appears to be nothing unique about his contributions to the industry, this not a judgmental statement, so take a deep breath. 8-). Please show which of the "references" are significant, in-depth discussions.
I see no significant roles in multiple venues.
Again, he fails to meet WP:ENT.
I have no interest in if he has a brother or not. Please assume good faith

Non-notable quiz contestant. Participation in a game show does not confer notability. Peter Rehse (talk) 19:28, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The first point to note is that the she is only notable for being an "Egghead" on the quiz show Eggheads (TV series). Secondly, the term "contestant" is perhaps confusing since the "Eggheads" are a permanent feature, the other team being one-off contestants. The other Eggheads and ex-Eggheads, with the exception of two recent additions (September 2016), all have their own pages and some of them are only really notable for being an Egghead. The main downside is that there doesn't seem to be much to say about her. "Expecting her second child, a boy" and her twitter feed, hardly encyclopedic stuff. Interestingly she's sufficiently annoying to one person, who's carried on a long campaign to vandalise the Eggheads page and now the Lisa Thiel page too.

Let's set aside this clearly a promotional entry written by a person with WP:COI (red flags: User:Paula perissinotto, and mentioned by subject at [21]: "curators Ricardo Barreto and Paula Perissinotto ", also as usual - WP:SPA). The main problem is that the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. I tried looking for sources, but they all seem low key. There is no in-depth coverage of her, through there are plenty mentions in passing, but much of it is blogs, etc. She seem not to have won any awards, or received coverage which would make her pas WP:ARTIST.

    Upon reviewing the sources after the last major revision (thank you, anonymous IP, for doing that), I'm starting to lean away from 'delete' so I have changed it to 'weak delete'. Per my comment below, there is some significant independent coverage of this artist's exhibits, but not of the artist herself. So this is looking borderline, possibly WP:TOSOON. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:27, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is a notable artist who has had lots of prominent gigs and recignition. The artilce itslef is terrible and needs to be rewritten, but that has nothing to do with notability. I'll see what refs I can dig up. COI has no particular bearing on deletion. it's notability that counts, and it is here in this article. 104.163.150.250 (talk) 08:56, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update I have cleaned up the article, and converted all refs to inline. She is notable without a doubt, on the basis of being widely cited in good quality sources. It took some time also to check the references in German, Spanish and Polish and put them in their proper place. I deleted two entire secitons that were just uncited lists of accomplishments. I will tag the article for COI, as it was obviously an involved person who created it.

    • Thank you for your cleanup. Could you list here and discuss the sources you consider best, and you think justify her inclusion in the encyclopedia? Personally I find that the best sources are the articles in some museums that she had her exhibitions at, namely de:LWL-Industriemuseum ([22]) and Museum of Transitory Art ([23]); through none of those is major enough for anyone to bother with English Wikipedia article yet; neither does Fact (charity) ([24]) seems significant. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:04, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've spent over an hour, maybe two, improving the article. Your nomination is unfortunately weak and if you look at the places she has shown, and some WP:BEFORE would see that there are lots of sources. 104.163.150.250 (talk) 18:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      I am struggling to find in that list of sources, any that are significant, reliable, and independent. I've gone through them all. After removing from consideration the blogs (not reliable), trivial mentions, and articles by museums and exhibitions (not independent of the subject), I am left with only three that may be reliable and independent: Star2, We Make $$$, and germany.info — but those articles aren't about the artist, they are about specific exhibits. I'm willing to strike my delete vote above, but I must say I am not seeing anything yet that qualifies as significant, reliable, and independent coverage of this artist. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • If it makes you feel any better, you can help find articles on non-notable male artists and nominate them for deletion. I would be happy to help. You can also log in and ask for this article to e moved to your sandbox. As I noted, this may be the case of WP:TOOSOON: the artist may not be notable now, but could become more notable in few years and your work could be improved and restored at that time. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:38, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      What, exactly, is "sexist" about Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion? Don't blame Wikipedia for an artist's failure to meet the criteria; and that applies regardless of the artist's gender. And besides, I've deleted many articles about artists (mostly musical artists) and nearly 100% of them have been about male artists. What does that tell you? ~Anachronist (talk)
  • Delete as apparently no museum collections or major art reviews which is what would've established notability. SwisterTwister talk 23:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please state which ones affect establishing notability as our notability criteria for artists in having museum collections or major art reviews, and these are stated as so. SwisterTwister talk 19:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Artists such as Karina Smigla-Bobinski create works that are often not perceived as "collectible" by museums & institutions because of their ephemeral, dematerialized or performative nature. These practices, like Conceptual art of past decades, may disqualify (or ghettoize?) certain artists from traditional encyclopedic standards of notability. One hopes in the near future that the criteria for artists' notability are revised in relation to 21st century practices. There are many art worlds; not solely the institutional art world of museum collections and commercial galleries, which are biased towards promoting and collecting male artists due to the subjective economics of collectability based on "market value," and political bodies such as boards of trustees private interests. SwisterTwister and others, please click on NEWS above - and you will see that there are credible news sources reviewing her work: Le Journal de Quebec Business Insider, Vancouver Sun, E-Flux, Calgary Herald, and others. Click on BOOKS and also on SCHOLAR above, and see how many books and journal entries there are on this artist before dismissing their notability. Netherzone (talk) 00:02, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Collectible is not necessary. Those ephemeral works can still generate media coverage, and artists can still be written about by reliable media. If they are not, however, than it is not Wikipedia's place to promote them. Also, I've taken a look at [25] and I am not impressed: 1st, her own conference paper, 2nd and 3rd, passing coverage of 1-2 sentences in each paper (2 captions in [26], 1 sentence in [27]), others don't seem to have more. As far as scholar, at least, I don't see anything approaching significance. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:19, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone: If you believe Wikipedia's current notability standards for artists are insufficient, then by all means open up a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) and gain consensus for a change. AFD is not the venue for discussing the merits of our notability guidelines. Our job here is to determine whether a subject meets current inclusion criteria as they stand. If the guideline changes to cause artists like this to merit Wikipedia articles more easily, then this article can always be restored if it has been deleted prior to the guideline changing. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:25, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Sadly, I have to disagree. Your first two passes are uncited, for the third one, well, we discussed the sources above and there is no consensus they are sufficient. Also... where is the Wired coverage? The Atlantic? Links, please. The "a substantial part of a significant exhibition" is open to debate; most of those exhibitions are uncited, but can be AFGed. But were they really substantial, and were they significant? Personally I feel that for that we need to have a source other than artist CV or institution news. Show me a major publication like Wired/Atlantic, indeed, which devotes more than 1-2 sentences to her work, and then we will have something. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Piotrus: I, too, would like to see the coverage in Wired or The Atlantic. That would definitely make this a keeper and I would change my !vote above.
    However, I am also thinking that this may be passing criterion 4.b. of WP:NARTIST. Now that the article has been massively trimmed and cleaned up by an anonymous IP (great improvement), it's now easier to see what might be notable, or not. In particular, in the list of exhibitions, we have several redlinks or no-links, suggesting that these may not yet be notable. But we also have some notable museums/exhibitions. Of those, most don't have any citations. But I see that two of them do: Foundation for Art and Creative Technology and Electronic Language International Festival. This looks like it might meet the "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" criterion in WP:NARTIST 4.b. What do you think? ~Anachronist (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Anachronist: The Electronic Language International Festival seem to have notability issue itself, but seems notable (coverage in Phil Jones; James Evans (1 February 2013). Urban Regeneration in the UK: Boom, Bust and Recovery. SAGE Publications. pp. 178–. ISBN 978-1-4462-9144-3. and few more sources). The question is, however - how are we to judge whether her work "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" held there? She did get two pages of coverage at the institution ([28], [29]), so the substantial part is ok, but what makes a "significant" exhibition? I tried looking for any news coverage of an exhibition, but failed to find it. problem we are facing is that in the modern world, almost any artist will get some exhibitions somewhere, and a mention on associated webpages. How to measure it, I am not sure. This is not an area I feel I am an expert. I have my own set of standards, which generally ask for at least a paragraph description of the artist - a short bio - published by an institution that is not associated with the artist. The problem with many low-key exhibitions are that they may be a for-profit venues, where the artist is trying to sell their works, splitting profits with the gallery/etc., and they are doing pure PR. Again, how to distinguish between an non-profit, real museum/public benefit exhiibition, and a shop masquarading as one, and even whether this is the best distinction, I am not prepared to say. But if the gallery doesn't apear to be major, even if it has a Wikipedia article, I don't consider it automatically meeting 4b. I hope the above clarifies why. Anyway, I feel that this articles is on the wrong side of borderline, with the sources we have found so far. If we could hear from an expert, a professor specializing in modern art in UK... ah, vane hope. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 21:47, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At first I thought it was borderline, but it almost looks like a hoax. The article discusses primarily not this book, but other works of the author.

  • Comment It isn't hoax [30] but I don't think the book is equally "famous" or notable as Švandrlík's masterpiece, the novel Black Barons. I would say that there must be reviews of the book from the pre-Internet era (it was published in 1991), but I can't find any. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 12:06, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mr.Konieczny, let me assure you that the article discusses the book and the book only as the work is almost autobiography by author as clearly stated right at the end (The author writes about him self under pseudonym Roman Kefalin). Every single word stated in the article is in the book and is about Roman Kefalin the main protagonist. The article lists a number of works which are of similar character but not a single one is mentioned by a single word anywhere in the article! How would you judge to the extent of the book beyond Wikipedia:Notability (books) withouth any knowledge about the topic is mystery to me. Conclusions and points you've made about the content of the book are I am sorry to inform you, missinterpreted. As the points you've made above are invalid, I am sorry but I am unable to respond appropriately. But if you are not fluent in Czech language you will be happy to know that English page about author en:Miloslav Švandrlík does mention the book. And I will try and clarify any further details as soon as possible.

Mr. Vejvančický already provided the link to the book (Thank you), but to clarify sheer facts about the book:

  • Comment - this is certainly a real book. The plot explains that the book is about the writing of another book, Black Barons. This might be the root of the nom's confusion. I've just copy-edited the article and given it a general clean-up. It probably fails Wikipedia:Notability (books) unless the author is especially important in and of himself. Not sure he is, but that's the only criteria it might pass on — Iadmctalk  13:38, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The author is undoubtedly notable but he was quite a prolific writer and not all of his works deserve stand alone articles, such as Black Barons. The question is whether we can find reviews and sources proving that Ještě máme co jsme chtěli is a notable novel. If not, I'd suggest to delete the article, as redirect to the list of works by Švandrlík without any further context would make little sense. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Iadmc: Yes, that coupled with the unclear initial draft, would explain my confusion. If the book fails notability (and nothing so far hasbeen suggested it doesn't, i.e. no reviews, rewards, etc.) at least now we have a good target for merger, i.e. Black Barons (book). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: @Vejvančický: @Petr Talasek: Yes, merger into Black Barons (book) might make sense: Ještě máme co jsme chtěli is after all about the writing of Black Barons Iadmctalk  09:59, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objection, it looks like a sensible and constructive solution. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:08, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable masters athlete who fails to meet WP:GNG. All of the sources on the article are just routine result lists. A search has not produced any "significant coverage" as required by WP:N. DJSasso (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:GNG. There must be reliable sources about the subject, and not just passing mentions, in order to satisfy notability. SW3 5DL (talk) 19:41, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Some of the sources provide substaintial coverage including a 4 minute news clip from what I think is a German news station (tough to tell exactly what it is because it is in German). We should note that because most of the sources are not in English, there is likely many sources that a google search would miss, and hence google searches are not a good source for this notability discussion. MATThematical (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Exactly which of the sources on this page do you think have substantial coverage? Certainly none of the ones on the article which are purely made up of result lists. I also don't see this news clip you mention, perhaps I am missing something. -DJSasso (talk) 12:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is actually a 3 minute Televesion clip (not 4, sorry for the error) from the TV station RTL in norway. It takes a while to load, so it is easy to miss in the last reference, 14. I'm not so sure if it is enough on its own to gaurantee WP:GNG coverage, because I don't speak the language, but at least in the United States a 3 minute TV story is very substantial, most "local man does X" stories are very short, less than a minute, at every channel I have watched). I think its existence does suggest that other sources would be pretty easy to find by a native speaker located in Norway, caution must be taken in an AFD when we don't speak the language the sources are in.

  • They are covered in the WP:NTRACK section. That is actually why this article was created. The author was trying to prove he could find coverage for any medal winning masters athlete because addition of masters athletes to ntrack has been routinely rejected there because most of them they simply can't be sourced. This one is borderline as there appears to be possibly a video source, although nothing else has been turned up so it fails having multiple sources. -DJSasso (talk) 22:14, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A strong claim of notability backed up by the sources needed to support the claim. Alansohn (talk) 18:26, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would point out there is only one possible source in the video. We do require multiple, all the other sources on the page are results lists. I have been unable to turn anything else up. I have no problem keeping if we can indeed find some more sources. -DJSasso (talk) 22:15, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is your reason for "harburg-aktuell" not being considered as another source. Again it is in German, so tough to tell, but that article is very extensive. It talks about his family his training, his childhood as a gymnast, and his injuries. This certainly isn't a WP:ROUTINE sports listing of mere statistics, so I am assuming you are arguing that "harburg-aktuell" isn't a reliable source. Please explain why, as you have yet to explain why this source should not be counted towards his notability. --MATThematical (talk) 02:52, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe the award claimed meets either criterion 8 or 9 in the list of criteria at WP:BAND. There is nothing else to suggest meeting WP:BAND either, and Google finds only 46 matches for "jojo a gogo", none of them in the form of substantial coverage in a reliable source, so WP:GNG isn't met. Not notable. Largoplazo (talk) 16:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Update I just ran the search again and came up with either 164 hits or 193 hits, depending how many times I tried it. But most of the hits now are about a game called "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", often with exclamation points embedded in the name, or about the PowerPuff Girls character Mojo Jojo. Many are in Chinese or Japanese and are also not about the musical group. Largoplazo (talk) 17:20, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
