This article duplicates information that exists at the national team page of Israel. Therefore its unnecessary. Nations at the xxx pages are also reserved for events with multiple sports or disciplines. This one focuses on just one sport. Also quoting Peter Rehse, from another similar AFD [1], There is nothing demonstrating that [the country] performed anywhere near notable." Considering Israel hasn't competed in some of the events below.

  • Keep - Firstly I see no policy stated as to why it should be deleted, only the person's opinion. Secondly, saying some without having the world qualifying in it is not a reason to delete, if anything thats a move. Third, its not reserved only for multi sport events, every country has there own World Cup page, and Brazil for example has one for every year. - GalatzTalk 00:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Duplication is not allowed on Wikipedia. its not my personal opinion. If you took the time too look at the other related AFD's you would see there is a consensus to delete these sort of nation pages at a single sport event. For ex. the road cycling pages were all deleted with the same reasoning provided here. If a nation does not qualify for an event there is no need for an article. It is misleading the to the reader! Again nation pages are almost exclusively reserved for multi-sporting events as the above AFD's will tell you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note to other user's and administrator's, the above user has had similar articles deleted in regards to their second reason [2]. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:30, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all Initially I thought that these articles would be notable in tournaments Israel actually qualified for (like the Brazil ones Galatz mentioned.) However, after looking at the above AfDs, I don't think those are notable either. The Brazil ones should be deleted as well, and I have no objection to nominating them. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep. Smartyllama (talk) 00:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Smartyllama:I could understand you saying the individual years like the Brazil ones more than the one that summarizes the tournament. There is not one other page that summarizes every appears at the World Cup. You would need to check hundreds of different pages to find everything that Brazil at the FIFA World Cup summarizes. It doesn't make sense to do that, the country at the games is inherently notable and meets WP:GNG at the very least. - GalatzTalk 04:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. Brazil national football team would cover most of it. And in any case, Brazil has qualified for every FIFA World Cup, while Israel has qualified for one. If we put the Brazil ones up for deletion, we can discuss these issues there. But they don't apply to the Israel page. Smartyllama (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all – spam like this is an embarrassment to Wikipedia. How many AfDs are there going to be on these? Laurdecl talk 01:07, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Laurdec1: You can't really say they are spam without reviewing them. For example, look at Israel at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. It is extremely well source, and no matter what, with that level of coverage you cannot say it does not meet WP:GNG.
  • Delete. Nothing notable about these pages. And huge lack of sources doesn't help it either. – Sabbatino (talk) 10:34, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sabbatino: You are clearly generalizing, I gain use the reference right above you of Israel at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. How can you say that doesn't have sources or meet GNG? - GalatzTalk 14:39, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your example is not the main subject here so I'm not generalizing anything. – Sabbatino (talk) 14:41, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sabbatino: But you just voted to delete every single article, which means that you automatically are - GalatzTalk 16:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the place for nitpicking. I gave my opinion and that won't change. Just because I have a different opinion, that doesn't mean you can come here and cry. The community's vote will decide what to do with these articles. – Sabbatino (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I voiced my objection to the hockey articles previously, not sure about including all of these sports together though. If you look at WP:SPORTSEVENT the clear direction is to expand the existing articles first and then evaluate whether an independent article is warranted. This was not done, the information was mostly just duplicated, and not even correctly. So the question is, (to me anyway) whether the existing pages would be improved upon if left up. Even after pointing out the errors to the creator, some of the mistakes were not remedied. I find it unlikely in retrospect that they ever will be unless I do it myself so I would prefer them to be deleted.18abruce (talk) 17:47, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the individual year pages, as they are unlikely to really expand and offer little different from the main relevant articles, but Keep the "Israel at (insert tournament)" as that seems like something that could provide more in depth detail and a summary of Israel's participation in said tournaments. This would even go for things like the UEFA Euro championship, which as noted while Israel has never played in the final tournament, has participated in qualification (which seems relevant for such an article). Kaiser matias (talk) 21:08, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Israel at the FIBA World Championship, Israel at the EuroBasket, Israel at the IIHF World Championship, etc. The articles about the respective national teams are too big, and having those extra pages are a great way to keep them reasonably long. --NaBUru38 (talk) 22:16, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete per WP:NOTSTATS. Proliferation of sports statistics cruft that's best left to dedicated databases. Alternatively, merge - but keep in mind that Wikipedia is not stats database. Renata (talk) 02:40, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - clear WP:NOTSTATS violations. Fenix down (talk) 09:21, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is there a way to approach each of these articles individually? It's hard to make a determination on all of them combined at a glance. For the instances where they didn't compete in qualifying or the tournament itself, I agree that there's no need for the article. However, where they did compete, there should be something. There might be some middle ground, but it's difficult to ascertain here. I think it's better to close this AfD and re-open it on each individual article. South Nashua (talk) 14:50, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @South Nashua: We tried that a while back, but there were way too many of them and it became unwieldy so they were all closed. Smartyllama (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Acknowledged. Thanks for bringing me partially up to speed. South Nashua (talk) 15:12, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • @South Nashua:@Smartyllama: That is an extremely misleading way of saying it and entirely incorrect. The initial nomination was the same issue as he is bringing up here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Then you tried it again for only one set of articles and the result was overwhelmingly keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel at the 2016 European Baseball Championship (2nd nomination). Please show me how nominating the European Baseball ones by themselves got "unwieldy". I think he wants something more like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel at the 2014 FIFA World Cup (2nd nomination).- GalatzTalk 15:28, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Galatz: @South Nashua: I should have been clearer, you're right. However, what happened with the original AfD is that they were first nominated as ~100 different AfDs, which was unworkable. Then they were merged as here, but the damage was already done and it was closed. It's unreasonable to make people participate in ~100 different AfDs about similar articles. Smartyllama (talk) 16:57, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
            • Gotcha. In that case, if there's a way to separate out the instances where Israel participated in these events and the instances were they didn't, I could register my viewpoint. (former = keep, latter = delete). I think qualification can be considered a part of the tournament, but if they weren't in even a part of the tournament and there's nothing to explain some significant reason why (i.e. - a scandal or what not), then I don't see why there would be an article. South Nashua (talk) 18:09, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
              • @South Nashua: You're welcome to express that view anyway. There's no rule saying you have to vote all-or-nothing. And given there are multiple ways we could separate them (Galatz mentioned possibly separating them by sport) we couldn't possibly separate them by every logical combination. Smartyllama (talk) 20:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment For the hockey ones, Israel never participated at the top-level tournament, which per WP:NHOCKEY is the only one that counts for conferring notability on players. They only participated in lower divisions, which don't confer notability onto players. I don't know if the same principle would apply here if we decide to keep only tournaments Israel actually qualified for. Smartyllama (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
They did in 2006. - GalatzTalk 20:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Galatz: Division I is not the top division. See 2006 IIHF World Championship, which is the top division. Smartyllama (talk) 00:02, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep "Israel at X", Merge editions This information is better gathered at "nation at competition" level. The study of individual countries at major international sporting events (such as world and major continental championships) is a key part of any nation's sporting history (the performance at individual editions, ultimately less so). The per edition information should be merged into the main "Israel at X" articles. Also note that WP:NOTSTATS is entirely non-relevant to this discussion as the statistics gathered are very discriminate and are contextualised. Of much more relevance is the first sentence from Wikipedia:Five pillars: "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." This type of information very clearly resembles that of sporting almanacs and is thus relevant to our community's scope. SFB 00:13, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all Just looks like a spam to me. Lots of violations as well — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izukiviktor (talk • contribs) 01:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question I'm not really familiar with FIBA, so I may have missed something, but is there anything noteworthy at, say, Israel at the EuroBasket 1975 that isn't covered at EuroBasket 1975? If there is, would it not make more sense to include it there rather than splitting the information out among (potentially) twelve different articles (plus the main one, I guess) that all cover the same event from marginally different perspectives? That just seems really unwieldy. Matt Deres (talk) 03:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Matt Deres: I think for major events it is useful as you can go more in-depth on the team's performance than you would do at a tournament level. Personally I think that is best done at the Israel at the EuroBasket level where the nation's history and progress at the event can be better contextualised in a way that is not possible at any other venue (I see lots of value and merit in things like England at the FIFA World Cup). Especially for single team sports events, the summary of the nation at a single edition will always struggle to add much more to what is already present elsewhere. SFB 21:24, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The minimum number of days had just passed, new editors were still contributing and the opinions expressed were not uniformly to delete.

Donovan Taplin[edit]

Donovan Taplin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete. WP:BLP of a politician with no strong claim to passing WP:NPOL, as his only substantive claims of notability are serving as a local municipal councillor in a small town and being appointed to advisory committees, and no strong evidence of satisfying WP:GNG, as the referencing here is entirely to government press releases, a blurb about him winning a university scholarship, and a single news article about him in the local media where coverage of local municipal politics is purely WP:ROUTINE. As always, Wikipedia is not a place where a person is automatically entitled to an article just because he exists -- if he keeps it up he's quite likely to get back into Wikipedia under an actual inclusion criterion someday, but nothing here actually gets him an article today. Bearcat (talk) 23:13, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While a local politician, Taplin is the first openly gay elected politician in his community and is the only listed openly gay elected municipal politician in all of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in the wikipedia article List of the first LGBT holders of political offices in Canada. When one also considers he is the youngest municipal official ever elected in Newfoundland and Labrador, his political achievements are indeed province-wide not just local. He has been recognized for these accomplishments through appointed roles from the Heads of Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Canada, in addition to being awarded two of the largest merit scholarships in the country. This article is worthy as it speaks to an example of the often underrepresented achievements of LGBT youth.

Firstly, being the first openly gay elected politician in his own community is not, in and of itself, a reason why somebody gets a Wikipedia article. If a town isn't large enough that serving on its municipal council would already have gotten him an article anyway (a status which only cities on the order of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver or Ottawa get), then distinctions like "youngest" or "first member of an underrepresented minority" do not inherently make him more notable than his other colleagues. He would have to hold a much more nationalized distinction, such as being the first out LGBT holder of any office in all of Canada, to get included on that basis — but he's far from that. And he isn't even the first LGBT officeholder in NL, either, as Gerry Rogers beat him to that by at least two years.
Secondly, winning a merit scholarship does not make a person notable enough for an encyclopedia article in and of itself either — thousands of university students win different merit scholarships to study at university every year, and winning one does not automatically make him more special than most of the others.
Thirdly, serving on political advisory committees is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia either.
And fourthly, notability on Wikipedia is ultimately not determined by what an article claims about its subject; it's determined by the depth and quality of reliable source coverage that can be shown about the subject. Which means substantive coverage in media, not press releases or blurbs or university student newspapers. There's only one reference here of the correct type ("Meet Bell Island's boy wonder") — but (a) that's local human interest coverage of the type that would be routinely expected to exist in the local media for a young achiever, and (b) one piece of legitimate media coverage is not enough media coverage to pass WP:GNG just because "media coverage exists". Bearcat (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gerry Rogers is the first LGBT office holder in Newfoundland (Provincial MHA), Taplin is the first LGBT municipal office holder. He is the youngest ever municipal councillor not just for his hometown, but the entire province. There are no student newspapers cited, The Gazette of Memorial University does feature student contributions, but is operated, published, and written by university staff. The "Meet Bell Island's Boy Wonder" article is complemented by the "How to go to University Without Paying a Cent" article which was nationally published in Maclean's Magazine and speaks to Taplin's accomplishments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Islander1999 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, please note that you get only one "vote" in an AFD discussion. You can comment in the discussion as many times as you like, but you do not get to preface any further comments with a "keep" or "do not delete" vote — followup comments are comments, not new votes, and may not be prefaced with a new restatement of the vote you've already made.
Secondly, again, "first LGBT holder of office at the municipal level in his province" is not a notability claim that gets a person into an encyclopedia. If he were the first LGBT holder of any office anywhere in all of Canada, that would be a legitimate basis for an article, but "first person to hold one particular level of office in one province, when that level of office isn't inherently notable in and of itself and he's not the first overall LGBT holder of office period" is not.
Thirdly, just because a university newspaper is written primarily by the university staff rather than the university students does not make it not a university newspaper. And secondly, this does also cite the McGill Daily, so even your hairsplitting over the MUN Gazette still does not make it true that "no student newspapers" are being cited.
And fourthly, a blurb in Maclean's about his winning a scholarship does not equal substantive coverage in Maclean's. A person does not automatically qualify for a Wikipedia article the moment his name has been mentioned a single time in Maclean's — a person qualifies for a Wikipedia article when he's getting substantive coverage in Maclean's in a noteworthy context, which "winning a university scholarship" is not. Bearcat (talk) 18:08, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the note on "votes", apologies, my mistake. I have removed the piece from the McGill Daily as the citation which followed it from the Huffington Post suffices. We diverge on interpretation of notability in terms of the significance of his being the youngest and first LGBT holder of municipal office in Newfoundland and Labrador. The section of the Maclean's article not only speaks to his scholarship wins but also his electoral accomplishment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Islander1999 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Huffington Post is a blog, so it's not a suitable source either: it can be used in instances where it's acting as a straight reprinter of wire service content from the likes of Canadian Press (because the citation is ultimately to the originator of the content, while HuffPo is just serving as a convenience link), but it's not a source that counts toward meeting WP:GNG if a person is mentioned in original content written by one of HuffPo's own staff bloggers. And the fact that "his electoral accomplishment" happens to be mentioned in a blurb whose purpose for existing is because of the scholarship does not make that blurb "coverage of the electoral accomplishment" — because again, "his electoral accomplishment" is not grounds for an article given that it's at the municipal level of office and not the provincial or federal levels. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have added an article from the Toronto Star after the Huffpost Blog. Merely getting elected to a municipal office may not be cause for inclusion in an encyclopedia article itself, but the nature of his election - framed within LGBT and youth contexts - makes it significant in a broader way. Maclean's' mention of this in his section of their article demonstrates their acknowledging of that electoral feat as significant enough to include in their coverage of his work after winning both of Canada's largest merit scholarships. comment added by Islander1999

  • Maybe we should have an article in this space but this current version is hopeless and needs WP:TNT. It's clearly been created by an automatic translation utility such as google translate. Anyone can generate thousands of these with a few clicks. I'm currently working my way through 3,583 of these created last summer. Unfortunately, a lot of them are concealed copyvios, created by copying text from a commercial website into the translation utility and then pasting the output into a Wikipedia article. This is of course undetectable as a copyvio by standard tools, which leaves us with the choice between a laborious process of working out what the source text is and whether it's available on a Wikipedia-compliant license, and whether the translation is accurate -- which is effort out of all proportion to the few clicks involved in creating these! -- or just deleting it and giving Wikipedians the opportunity to start again from scratch. I advocate the second alternative.—S Marshall T/C 00:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - At present this article is completely unsourced (there is a single reference, but it is to a dead link for a small local weekly newspaper and the purported title of said article suggests that it is a local special interest piece about Hignutt's marriage as a transwoman to another woman--hardly suitable for establishing Hignutt's notability as an author) and searches for additional reliable sources have turned up nothing for me, just a couple social media accounts, an amazon page for her one book (which seems to be published under Amazon's amateur self-publishing scheme that allows anyone to sell their writing on a kindle, not an actual publishing house), and a couple of blurbs in a small blog. More or less a WP:SNOW case to me; not notable under either WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. Snow let's rap 21:16, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, hi snow, its great that you believe this is a snow being snowy yourself, c'mon coola, stay focussed, oh, right, sorry:), found an article from the philly weekly about the couple, which could be used to flesh out the article (this might be the "dead link" article), if kept, btw rather then a "small local weekly newspaper" phil wkly appears to be quite a large state paper if this is anything to go by - "Circulation: 86,000 (as of June 2014) .. Philadelphia Weekly is the largest audited-circulation weekly newspaper in Pennsylvania, distributed at nearly 2,000 locations reaching a readership close to 400,000."[3] (although is this site coi?), but i digress:), also found a couple of books reviews; Publishers Weekly review of Empress of Clouds - "The author, herself a transsexual, sensitively handles the book's transsexual theme, but the abundance of superior fantasy fiction in the marketplace, some of it more effectively gender-bending than this workmanlike effort, presents a challenge."[4], and International Foundation for Gender Education review of Moonsword - " Diana Hignutt?s first novel, Moonsword, is just such a fantasy, one that penetrates to the heart of transgender truth. .. The story is full of twists and turns that captivate the reader. Anyone who likes science fiction or fantasy will enjoy Moonsword. Those readers who happen to understand transgender experience from the inside out will find here a mythic tale that penetrates the mystery and the truth of being differently gendered."[5], but more is needed for Hignutt to meet wp notability. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Coola! I'm afraid that these additional materials don't really change the equation for me much when it comes to the notability of Ms. Hignutt as an author. The Publisher's Weekly "review" is a four sentence that is essentially a bare bones plot synopsis inset to a form sales page for the book, plus a one-line analysis of the quality of the book. The IFGE review of Hignutt's first work is similarly just a couple of paragraphs--I'm afraid that's just not enough to establish the kind of significant or detailed coverage we'd need to justify an article on this book, let alone it's author by mere association. Could you please provide a link to the additional source (the Philadelphia Weekly article)? My strong suspicion is that, if it is what the title suggests it is (a local human interest piece on a couple, one of whom happens to be transsexual), it isn't going to do much of anything to bolster the case for Hignutt being an encyclopedically relevant subject in herself. But that reservation not withstanding, I'd still like to review that source. Snow let's rap 05:21, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:1E may apply as well. This is an exceedingly minor writer who fails the criteria set forth for writers under the guideline. His claim to fame is that he was held up as an example of COI by a writer for Salon. Yeah, I know, COI is terrible. But that doesn't mean that we pillory people who engage in COI. I've edited the article to remove much of the large amount of material relating to his Wikipedia editing, which clearly is in breach of WP:UNDUE. Possibly the whole thing should go under WP:WELLKNOWN due to a lack of multiple independent sources. What remains just doesn't strike me as sufficient to support a stand-alone article on this person, and is overwhelmingly negative. He is mentioned in List of Wikipedia controversies.

I think this article should be speedy-deleted as a BLP violation. It quotes extensively from an unverified document which makes numerous unproven derogatory claims about a living person. It even includes a PDF of the entire unverified, scandalous document. In other articles about this subject we have been careful to report only the existence of the document and reactions to it; we have carefully avoided repeating any of its unproven claims. I could not tag this for G10 because it does have sources, and in any case it would need broader community input to delete it. But I feel it qualifies for deletion as a violation of Wikipedia's BLP policies, and I would hate to see it stay in Wikipedia for a week. Can we apply IAR, perhaps? MelanieN (talk) 18:47, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete or Redirect to 2016 United States election interference by Russia - Wikipedia is not a place for tabloid gossip or salacious, unverified tabloid materials.

  • Keep - A wide array of reliable sources have reported on its existence and debated the veracity of its claims; no less a news organization than the BBC has extensively discussed it. While this article should absolutely be written to conform with BLP (leaving out unconfirmed salacious details, not linking directly to the document in question, being scrupulously sourced to only the highest-quality publications), I don't think it's tenable to say the article can't exist, particularly when we have plenty of articles including claims about the Podesta emails and Pizzagate conspiracy theory that are also, at best, weakly sourced or have been outright disproven.

  • Keep per arguments by Govindaharihari and MelanieN. In addition, events around the dossier are making news on their own. The article may need improvement in terms of respectable news outlets confirming and corroborating the details in the dossier. Events around the dossier - that it exists, and that it was requested, written, passed around, and extensively discussed - are still facts. -Mardus /talk 21:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and Reincorporate into 2016 United States election interference by Russia — Crucial details regarding the dossier have been adequately elucidated in the aforementioned article. A lot of this article feeds into present public anxiety on Russian interference and is nothing more than posturing that does not represent Wikipedia. I move for a speedy deletion. Frevangelion (talk) 22:36, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I think at this point it's sort of obvious this is notable as every source and their dog has reported on the dossier. "2016 United States election interference by Russia" should of course provide a brief summary of the dossier and the controversy, but this is the article where the actual in depth info (who wrote it, under what circumstances, how was it "leaked", who's seen it, etc. - all issues covered in multiple reliable sources) can be presented.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:39, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is a distinction to be made here between the provability of the allegations, and the provability of the existence of the allegations, which some appear not to grasp. Whether or not the fact that whether or not the claims are unproven, it is demonstrably proven that the claims and allegations have been made, and were considered credible enough to be presented to the president and the top of American intelligence. Please consider that on the deletionist's tortured logic, we would be unable to publish an article on any criminal trial, if the defendant was found not guilty. Allegations of guilt, whether presented in dossier form or at trial, can manifestly be notable whether or not the defendant is cleared of the charges. Even if the charges are entirely a hoax, we have plenty of hoax articles that drew on far less evidence than this. I don't see any of you deletionists screaming for the deletion of Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories or Pizzagate, both of which were just fabricated by non-intelligence sources and both of which had far less of a claim to encylopedic interest. It therefore appears outrageously shocking how conservatively biased this encylopedia is. How is it even possible that Wikipedia has so many conservative editors, when the vast majority of educated, highly literate persons are liberal, as a matter of irrefutable fact? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1017:B403:2668:89A8:360D:D4D1:F4BC (talk) 02:02, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • STRONG KEEP - This is a major scandal that easily passes WP:GNG and if this is a BLP vio then Pizzagate is a STRONG BLP vio that has even less substance behind it than this does. Twitbookspacetube (talk) 02:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — The comparison between Pizzagate and this document is a mostly a false equivalence outside of BLP concerns. One is a conspiracy theory that became notable for its media coverage involving the Turkish press, a banned subreddit, and a pizzeria shooting. This is a document that might be notable because of its extensive news coverage and the backlash it received. While they both discuss allegations that may or may not be true, BLP can be enforced in both articles by pointing out all false or unsubstantiated claims. FallingGravity 06:34, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The current article is far more acceptable than the BLP-violating mess that was its first incarnation. If anyone has concerns about parts of the article violating BLP policy, the article has a Talk page doesn't it? Exemplo347 (talk) 07:54, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • very very weak Keep Not sure if this is notable in it's own right or not. But it has received a lot of coverage (and I agree that this has far more evidence then a lot of other equally libelous accusations we do have pages on).Slatersteven (talk) 11:16, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (or possibly merge). This seems well-sourced and notable. We obviously should not (and do not) have an article that confirms the alleged dossier as legitimate, but this has been very widely reported on. It has already been noted that the bar for conspiracy theories (e.g., Pizzagate and Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories) is somewhat lower, but then again I also feel that WP:OTHERCRAP applies. I'm somewhat neutral on merger with 2016 United States election interference by Russia#Briefing on alleged Trump dossier. I think that would be an acceptable outcome, but I believe that to properly cover every response to the allegations in an appropriately neutral encyclopedic manner is best achieved in a separate article, at least for the moment. Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, a closer parallel might be the Podesta emails, which are again about allegedly "leaked" documents coming from intelligence sources, in that case Russian intelligence (via Wikileaks), and in this case MI6. Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep Notable article that is extensively and reliably sourced. Keiiri (talk) 03:59, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
An article having extensive references is not an automatic metric of its quality. The origin of the dossier and the information provided on said dossier are still unsubstantiated and are not worthy of validation on an encyclopedic medium. I'm not sure what kind of precedent we're trying to set here as Wikipedia editors. Frevangelion (talk) 05:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's not "automatic" but it certainly does help to establish the undeniable notability of the topic. The origins and the info in the dossier are neither here nor there as far as notability is concerned. Again, we have articles on Pizzagate (if you want to talk precedent).Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:BLP (public figures). The policy provides the following example: this example: "A politician is alleged to have had an affair. He or she denies it, but multiple major newspapers publish the allegations, and there is a public scandal. The allegation belongs in the biography, citing those sources. However, it should only state that the politician was alleged to have had the affair, not that he or she actually did. If the subject has denied such allegations, that should also be reported." It is exactly what this page does. Of course this should be described merely as "allegations", not "the truth". Perhaps this page has some deficiencies, such as linking to an inappropriate primary source. If so, this must be fixed, but this is nothing special. Not a reason for deletion. My very best wishes (talk) 05:39, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep The articles deal about different topics, so it makes sense to me to retain them separately. The Dossier is the outcome of an output of a Attack PAC of Jeb Bush, so it predates so-called "Russian Interference" in US elections. Also there is no evidence so far that Trump has succumbed to Russian blackmail in any of his business/political dealings, but there is lot of smoke on the Dossier, so I vote that these two topics should be in separate articles.J mareeswaran (talk) 15:34, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Second Thoughts There is a strong overlap between this article, Donald Trump Russia dossier, and Christopher Steele. Seems to me that contents of the dossier are off limits for obvious purposes & Steele's sole claim to fame is the authorship of this dossier, so it suggests perfect case for merging both these articles (after following due process by opening a new merge request, of course).J mareeswaran (talk) 16:29, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If that's indeed the case, BLP1E would apply to the Christopher Steele article, in which case the subject of this discussion would be the more policy-compliant target for a merger. Sławomir Biały (talk) 17:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If so, page Christopher Steele should be nominated for deletion, but the deletion will not succeed because he is not a person notable for only one event. Hence I do not think anyone should bother about it. My very best wishes (talk) 18:08, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nonproductive screed by sock of banned user
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
  • Comment Admins: I suggest that the above user should be blocked on grounds of WP:COMPETENCEISREQUIRED. First of all, it is patently obvious that has far too shaky a grasp of English grammar to be editing articles. I count at least 9 grammatical errors in the above sentence. 1) The sentence lacks capitalization at its beginning. 2) There is an improper use of a comma after "populism" to separate two complete clauses, giving us a comma splice. 3) He writes "all the sources is", a phrase which shows an obvious lack of subject/verb agreement. 4) He continues, even more puzzlingly, "all the sources is founded by", which is an entirely inappropriate use of the phrase "founded by"; I suppose he means "are derived from" or "are traceable to"; sources are not "founded by" their researchers in the fashion in which a city or a movement is "founded by" its creator. (Let's hope this wasn't a malapropism for "found", which would be an even more grievous and elementary error; I am being charitable.) 5) He writes "or speculative" when he obviously means "or are speculative." (I won't count the fact that this makes no logical sense anyway. If there is only one source, we can't complain that all our information is either from the same source, or is speculative, but rather ought to complain that there is only one source, which is speculative. I charitably again assume this is what this foreign author means.) 6) There is a second comma splice (!) after "speculative", creating a disastrously unreadable run-on sentence. The author clearly has no idea how punctuation works in English, and appears to believe sentences can just continue as long as you like so long as you throw in a comma every few words or so. 7) He writes "if this articles stays", which, yet again, shows lack of agreement in number. 8) I don't even have the slightest idea of how to make sense of anything that comes after this point. What can "we can copy all articles which exits on WikiLeaks from Afghanistan until Libya" possibly even mean? 9) He omits the period, since he obviously has no idea what sentences in English are, and what one does when they start and end. Even worse than the total absence of knowledge of English grammar, however, is the fact that he lacks a basic understanding of the meanings of words. Beyond the errors I already pointed out, this has nothing even remotely to do with Left-wing populism, which is roughly the movement behind the Bernie Sanders campaign, or Occupy Wall Street, which demands redress be made for income inequality, and for other grievances. If I hadn't figured out this was a non-English editor, who doesn't understand what the words he is mouthing actually mean, I would have assumed this person is psychotic, since the connection to Left-wing populism (not to mention the non-sequitor about WikiLeaks, Libya, and Afghanistan) is so tangential. Please send this user back to Norwegian Wikipedia, admins, until he demonstrates a mastery of our lovely tongue which would allow him to contribute here. Everyone else: please revert any of this editors' tendentious, nonsensical edits on sight, for he knows not the meaning of the words which he speaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.140.32.55 (talk • contribs)
If by "left populism" you mean this will be a POV magnet, then consider that for every argument a counterargument can be added, so I think this article can be balanced and even used for discrediting the dossier. The dossier is speculative, but the article is not citing the dossier; it is citing notable sources that discuss the dossier. Reliability would come into consideration if the dossier was used as a source on the article Donald Trump. I'm not sure what you mean by the Wikileaks comment.

Until resourced vetting -- i.e., vetting that takes great governmental and monied power -- happens, calls to delete amount to trying to put a genie back into a bottle we may or may not wish to have around. We can decide that down the road. In the realm of public opinion, the key is to not be stupid through averting our eyes to the kinds of claims that circulate these days. Engage the claims instead of doing the authoritarian thing: hide information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.129.106.179 (talk • contribs)

so, your nomination is based on... personal feelings and beliefs? do you have a valid reason for deletion; perhaps the article has no purpose? because my personal feeling is that there is at least one person wanting to liberate thier notion of humanism to depart from the status-quo of modern currents, which lean towards a popular, extreme form of secularism, society and culture. Carl Sagan is a humanist who does not adhere to atheism. http://www.ihumanism.org/2014/11/carl-sagan-a-humanist-you-should-know.html and this sentiment is echoed in his protege, Neil deGrasse Tyson; though Dr. Tyson's affiliation with the American Humanist Association is yet unclear to me. Xan81 (talk) 04:11, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

that isn't an argument. you're suggesting that because the subject is generally unknown the article is invalid? I'm not an author of encyclopedias, as I'm sure many people aren't; and there are many scant articles about. also, I'm not clear on what is missing from the article - it describes a lifestance and manner of thought - which are not claimed to be the original author's views. Xan81 (talk) 05:02, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

distinction from secular humanism is the anarchism, which is held contemptuous to influence by state and society. Xan81 (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

which guidelines? and is there another viewpoint which discusses the ideas which is in opposition to common, popular and proselytized atheistic notions which may be offensive and harmful, hateful to people's faiths and traditions? Because there does exist a current of conservative antitheism pushed by popular figures, such as Richard Dawkins - Militant Atheism Militant atheism (Russian: воинствующий атеизм) is a term applied to atheism which is hostile towards religion.

that also isn't an argument - still no violation directly cited... begining to seem like persecution Xan81 (talk) 08:47, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"No encyclopaedic content to salvage" is definitely an argument in favour of deletion - why would an encyclopaedia include an entry that isn't encyclopaedic? Now, are you actually going to address that issue or are you just going to make questionable, petulant comments on every singe !vote? It's not helping you. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:51, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

there is no issue to address - it's an incomplete article because I'm neither a theologian nor an author, as stated before. it's an incomplete article; but I am positing an active and extant lifestance. persecution is persecution. Xan81 (talk) 08:55, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you familiar with Wikipedia's rule about Assuming Good Faith? I've never had any interaction with you. Accusing me of persecution is frankly ridiculous. If it's an incomplete article, it shouldn't have been published - you should have worked on it in your sandbox or as a draft & then submitted it through the Articles for Creation process. Don't accuse people of persecuting you when all I am doing is participating in a standard process, which is designed to sift out articles that aren't suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:58, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ok - I concede the debate on grounds of not caring enough to pursue creation of an article.

This article looks just like a renamed version of an older article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population which was deleted back in 2012. This article has the exact same flaws. It's main source does not state that it is showing the population of towns and cities and the population of London is from a completely different source.

  • Merge a significantly trimmed version of this into Pittston, Pennsylvania. While it's true that the city isn't large enough to hand its mayors an automatic WP:NPOL pass, a basic mostly unlinked list of the mayors' names isn't unreasonable information for us to maintain, so long as it's properly sourced and not a WP:HOAX. It doesn't need to be a standalone list if there's nowhere for it to link besides the city itself and one mayor who cleared NPOL for other reasons — but it's not unreasonable for them to be listed as a subsection in the city's main article rather than as a standalone spinoff.

This is a classic example of an article which is nothing but a synthesis of different sources. The authors are not referring to a "Dark metal" musical genre, but rather bands from other metal genres who use "dark" imagery and themes.

  • Keep Sorry about deleting the AFD banner that was a accident, I think the game's worthy of an article it's clearly very popular and other game's have had an article without a definite release date, and they were not deleted, it's not worth deleting it it's already made, just one big edit when it's released and the article is perfect it saves someone the trouble of recreating it. Mr.wilson125 (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Izno It is a hard question to answer. I think it is mostly to do with awful design of the editing environment and the lack of leadership in updating the environment to a manner that ensures that new editors are fully aware and trained before they create an article. I think at the beginning the wiki was chosen as it was the best tool at hand to represent Wikipedia at the time. But now its more of a burden than a help. The current environment is static, it's like 1985 on Dec Vax, just type with Emacs and your away and functionality is bolted on with no design or rigor. And aesthetically speaking it's a dog.

  • A game from that time period is unlikely to have coverage online. Have you checked for offline coverage before this AFD nomination? --Izno (talk) 04:21, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    To the extent that I checked a couple of standard periodical indexes, yes. Even if the source text from that time would be offline, the indexing would be online through research libraries (although not necessarily through Google). I don't think WP:BEFORE requires exhaustive prove-a-negative-type searches. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 04:30, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed, before does not. However, it appears there's offline coverage--see the Highbeam link above. Couldn't tell you whether it's significant. There's also a few nuggets in the WP:VG/RS search. So while I won't !vote yet since I haven't had a chance to review any of these results, I might suggest there's notability for this game. --Izno (talk) 04:36, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, and I saw that one result from Knight-Ridder. In the Highbeam search it is listed multiple times but it is clearly multiple hits for the same article in multiple papers in the same chain. I didn't believe it would be considered significant coverage and ignored mentioning it That was technically incorrect in making the nom, and I apologize. I should have specified "..and one old short review at time of game's release, not creating sustained coverage."
    It looks like there's a few others too, not based on the Ridder review. Any way, I'll take a closer look later. --Izno (talk) 05:00, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to meet AfD criteria A1/A7. This is redundant with the main article Ideophones and seems highly questionable listcruft, as also noted on Talk:List_of_ideophones_by_language by a different user. To see the problem in a nutshell, consider the non-extant articles List of nouns by language, List of adverbs by language, List of adjectives by language, List of verbs by language. They are perfectly parallel: ideophones are a class of words just like nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. These other articles don't exist because (I guess) everybody understands they would not belong here but in Wiktionary (if anywhere). If this list stays as haphazard as it (necessarily) is, it is redundant, incomplete, and useless. If it were to be more systematically done, it would be a dictionary in itself and therefore belong in Wiktionary not Wikipedia. Janice Patrick (talk) 13:26, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete according to User:Zadignose, posting on the talk page 2 years ago (the article has seen little meaningful edits since then): "This "list" seems ill conceived. It cannot succeed in listing even a tiny fraction of the items which could theoretically be included. It's similar to having a page called "list of words," with six or seven words on it, arbitrarily chosen. For instance, it should be relatively easy to list several hundred Korean ideophones, so why are these particular four items selected. If we put ideophones from all languages, it would run into thousands of items, and the page would resemble a jumbled heap of trivial data." Janice Patrick (talk) 13:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

American professional soccer players abroad[edit]

Contested PROD. Numerous issues with this topic - entirely unreferenced; no evidence the topic has been subject to significant coverage, as opposed to run-of-the-mill WP:ROUTINE news stories about an American signing for a foreign team; WP:LISTCRUFT; inaccurate (e.g. Nermin Crnkić is listed even though he is not American, and there are numerous players who do not play in professional leagues; arbitrary inclusion criteria. Need I go on? This kind of information is more than adequately covered by Category:American expatriate soccer players. GiantSnowman 09:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 09:46, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Again, there is a difference between this page and Category:American expatriate soccer players. One covers past and present foreign based players, including those with a page, while the other covers only Americans abroad now, whether they have a page or not. Jozy Altidore for example would be in that category but not on this page. Secondly, Nermin has an American passport, played high school soccer in the United States, and is eligible for the US national team. Thirdly, I agree when you say that there is no significant news coverage on the subject and thus I say delete. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • ArsenalFan700 — The article now has references that include several publications that provide significant news coverage. I don't know if these article revisions change your views. Barryjjoyce (talk) 13:49, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I can't see there being any advantage to having a current listing of American footballers playing abroad; this would require a ridiculous amount of work to keep up to date; the category is sufficient. Spiderone 15:06, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Stating that it would require a ridiculous amount of work to keep up to date is a ridiculous point. It would take a lot of work to maintain all the thousands upon thousands of player articles each match day, it would take a lot of work to maintain club record lists and the like etc. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:45, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There's already a Category for this subject. An unreferenced, inaccurate list with questionable inclusion criteria is not what an encyclopaedic entry should look like. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:15, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Exemplo347 — Responding to each of your comments in turn: (1) arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided, see WP:NOTDUPE, (2) the article is referenced now, plus see WP:NEXIST, (3) all identified inaccuracies have been addressed, plus see WP:SURMOUNTABLE, (4) the inclusion criteria are clear (to me at least) and satisfy WP:LISTCRITERIA, what about the criteria are "questionable" in your view?

  • Comment — I don't feel strongly whether this article stays or goes, but I do hope that whatever decision is made is based on correct facts and correct interpretations of wiki policies and guidelines, and not based on mistaken assumptions. In that vein, I'd like to make a few points. First, the fact that the article had no references at the time of deletion nomination is not a correct basis to delete; per WP:NEXIST, the correct standard is whether sources exist, not whether they are present in the article. In any case, I have added a few references. Second, several folks have claimed that this topic does not have significant coverage. That is not so. I have added references from eight sources. Many US soccer media outlets report on Americans abroad quite prominently, and for at least one source, this topic is their exclusive focus. Third, nobody has explained what is "arbitrary" or "questionable" about the inclusion criteria. The criteria for inclusion, as explained in the article, is that the players are (1) Americans, and (2) playing soccer professionally abroad. I'm not sure what other inclusion criteria people are proposing. Fourth, the presence of some errors, per WP:RUBBISH, is not a valid reason for deletion, esp where the nominator himself has been demonstrated to have been inaccurate in attempting to point out the claimed inaccuracies. Relatedly, the complaint about non-professional leagues being included has been fixed. It took all of 10 minutes. Not a valid reason for deletion. Barryjjoyce (talk) 02:45, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per GS, whilst I agree the category does not quite equal the listing, I also agree that, aside from the fact that I don't think the subject has gained any real coverage per WP:NLIST, I don't think that "professionally" can be clearly defined. anyone who has been paid any money is professional and this would create a list of unmanageable length. Fenix down (talk) 09:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fenix down — I believe the article addresses both of your reservations. The references section lists a number of publications that provide significant coverage about Americans playing abroad. And the article is limited to players in a "fully-professional league", a term that has been defined by WikiProject Football, and that is used in applying the WP:NFOOTBALL notability guideline. Barryjjoyce (talk) 13:48, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The fully professional league bit doesn't really help, as it is a project-defined criterion used for notability, the list itself is still incredibly vague and there is not a clear indication of notability per LISTN, for instance:
  1. There is no indication that there is any requirement to make a first team appearance, simply to "play for the club".
  2. This list seems to work as a "live list". How would this be managed?
  3. Why include the regionalliga, it is not an FPL
  4. Why are players for FPL teams in Canada not included?
  5. What about players who might play for reserve teams which currently play in FPLs (e.g. Russia)?
  6. Why exclude players with dual citizenship that have played for another nation?
  7. What about players who are american citizens but have only declared for another nation?
  8. The links you have provided are in the main merely search queries for a number of websites. This does not indicate that there is discussion of american soccer players abroad as a subject, only that articles have been written about aerican players who happen to play abroad.
To me, this is simply not a list that can be managed effectively with a clear and agreed set of inclusion criteria and so is not something which is encyclopedic. Fenix down (talk) 14:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a non-notable biography. Sources are either the subject's websites or self-published sources such as blogs, with the only exception being the sabotagereviews.com reference which includes just a single paragraph on one of the author's works within a review of a collection of other works. The article was created as a draft and moved into article space by a new user (who just made enough edits to get autoconfirmed, in order to make the move), deceptively subverting the normal WP:AFC review process.

  • Keep As stated on the Wikipedia Biography page an article must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" and Kent's recent Poetic Interviews makes this so alone - as the project is completely new in style and approach within the poetry community (see Wikipedia requirement for creative professionals 2 - The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique). Considering the breadth and scope of the work, and the individuals involved, this is a significant enough piece of work within the poetry and literature community to ensure his relevance. Also, through the screening of his films, and the recent inclusion of his work on various outlets (podcasts etc) these showcase importance.

Northamerica1000, those sources aren't very good. As well, a more practical approach is more relevant here. Though it arguably could pass GNG, it's not worth it to keep four sentences of text about a BK/Denny's invention when it could be stuck in an article about those businesses or about the bacon mania of the time. I will individually pick apart these sources if necessary. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 04:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Almost all of those stories/references are dated June 2012, when the product was rolled out. There are a couple of stragglers (July, August), two early bird previewers in April, one undated and one for Denny's. It just had no lasting power, like many others (I'm looking at you, McDonald's mediocre 12). Clarityfiend (talk) 02:55, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Like Northamerica1000 mentioned, notability is not temporary, and there's no "lasting power" requirement. If significant coverage exists - no matter how old - general notability is established. The nomination statement here is fundamentally flawed for that very reason. Still, I figured I'd relist to get more thoughts on whether to merge or keep the article as a standalone. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:38, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. NorthAmerica is right, notability is not temporary. Argument to merge this to two different restaurant chain articles suggests that in fact it is better to have this one article covering the topic, which can be briefly linked from the other two. Merging and redirecting to something like a list-article of weird desserts would be another possibility, if this topic would be covered as a list-item there, and the restaurant chain articles could then link to it there. But no good merge target has been suggested, and I don't see why it shouldn't be a standalone article anyhow. --doncram 23:39, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't get it, plenty of "notable" articles get merged just because there's not enough substance or interest for its own article. See Donald Trump email controversy for one. This sundae article could very easily take up one line in the BK article and one line in the Denny's article (if needed). ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 01:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of Burger King products#Other. The Dennys one is not mentioned in the article so if someone wants to add it to that page then there are no attribution issues. Lots of different fast food joints offer similar meals so I don't see the problem of having two potential merge targets, especially as this one seems the primary topic.

  • Possible keep - Deeper Christian Life Ministry appears to be a denomination. This article (better punctuated as Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos) is presumably its local church there and perhaps the mother church. I see reference to a mega-church of 65,000 people. I would have thought such a church would be notable in its own right, as Cathedrals tend to be. However the articles are not clear enough for me to be sure. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: DL have millions of members across Africa. It's actually among the top three most populated Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. It has thousands of branches scattered across every state in Nigeria, with each state headquarters amassing at least 5,000 members every Sunday. This article is the worldwide headquarters for DCLM, the same way Faith Tabernacle is the worldwide headquarters for Living Faith Church Worldwide, and RCCG City of David (I will create this one soon) is the most notable of all Redeemed Christian Church of God parishes. It passes WP:LOCAL, plus it also houses a building of above 65,000 capacity. Darreg (talk) 18:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing that out. It looks like DL has as many as 500 churches in Lagos alone,[8] (I'm not sure if there are other locations in Gbagada). Also, it seems that "Deeper Christian Life Ministry" and "Deeper Life Bible Church" are different names for the same thing[9]. However, I've stricken my vote on the assumption that this article is meant to be about the church headquarters. Perhaps it is now at the right location, or perhaps it should be something like "Deeper Life Bible Church Headquarters" or "Deeper Life Bible Church Headquarters (Lagos)". Smmurphy(Talk) 18:16, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are very correct. Deeper Life Bible Church is the wp:commonname. There is even Deeper Life Bible Ministry, all refering to the same thing. The current parent article title isnt the wp:commonname. Additionally, I prefer the second name you suggested, with Lagos in parenthesis. The headquarters was recently completed in 2016, so we need to remove 1973 from this article. Secondly the capacity of the church auditorium is 30,000, they usually have more than one service every Sunday and there is extension to the building but the capacity is 30k. I think that should be reflected in the article.
  • Keep The article seems like a mirror but ought not to be. The Deeper Christian Life Ministry, is the overall registered section of the church. Its under the ministry that we have the Deeper Life Bible Church, Deeper Life Campus Fellowship and Deeper Life Student Outreach. Unarguably the Deeper Life Bible Church is the biggest and most popular arm. So an article about Deeper Life Bible Church does not violate any wikipedia rule I know of - Only that it really needs a cleanup. I can vouch to do the clean up when I'm less busy this month.Mahveotm (talk) 19:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I know that, what I suggest is that Deeper Christian Life Ministry be moved to Deeper Life Bible Church, and this article Deeper Life Bible Church Lagos be moved to Deeper Life Bible Church Headquarters (Lagos). You can create an article for the ministry that covers all Deeper Life related congregations when you are chanced as implied. Darreg (talk) 08:42, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I recently recreated the page Deeper Life Bible Church and I hope this solve a little of the problem right now. Everyone is invited to have a look at it and make edits they deem necessary. Shalom.Mahveotm (talk) 20:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deeper Life Bible Church.
  • Keep, although moving/renaming the topic is possible (and can be handled by a normal wp:RM process). This was renamed from "Deeper Life Bible Church Lagos" to "Deeper Life Bible Church, Lagos" during this AFD? And then also this was improperly copy-pasted to Deeper Life Bible Church, as an improper attempt to move/rename the article during this AFD (improper because it causes confusion and loses edit history in the article). If the title of an article is imperfect, it is usually best to open a wp:RM Requested Move and have it discussed and fixed. The Requested Move process at Wikipedia usually works very well. Many times something gets opened as an AFD, which by its nature is threatening and negative and contentious, when a simple Requested Move is what should be done instead. --doncram 20:54, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Alice Band[edit]

Delete. Band with no strong or properly sourced claim to passing WP:NMUSIC; as written, this amounts to "band who existed", and is sourced entirely to primary sources and WP:BLOGS rather than real media coverage. As always, every band is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they existed and had a Myspace page; RS coverage supporting an NMUSIC pass must be present for an article to become earned. Bearcat (talk) 22:14, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article is poor, but please start looking at something other than the article itself before bringing things to AfD. This group had three minor hit singles and a top 60 album ([10]), and at least some of the coverage that they received is still online, as well as coverage of the duo they became when one of them left: [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. --Michig (talk) 08:17, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see here: according to that chart archive, the album debuted at #55 on the charts in its first week, declined to #78 in its second, and then bellyflopped off the charts never to be heard from again after just two weeks. And the singles all did the same: two made a quick debut at an unimpressive chart position in the 45-70 range, fell to the 80s in the second week, and then gone gone gone — and the third didn't even manage that, starting in the 80s in its first week and then immediately dying without a second week. This is hardly impressive chart performance we're talking about here. And, as always, WP:NMUSIC explicitly states that nominal passage of an NMUSIC criterion does not confer an inclusion freebie in and of itself — regardless of what NMUSIC criterion an article can claim that its topic meets, it's the depth and quality of the sourcing that can be provided to support the claim that determines whether it passes or fails NMUSIC, not the mere assertion of the claim in and of itself.
So let's actually look at what you've shown for sourcing: #2 = 80-word blurb, not assisting WP:GNG because not substantive. #3 = glancing namecheck of their existence in an article about the head of their record label, not assisting GNG because not about them. #4 = glancing namecheck of their existence in an article about a songwriter, not assisting GNG because not about them. #5 = 78-word blurb, not assisting WP:GNG because not substantive. #6 = glancing namecheck of their existence in an article about a related band that formed after the band that's the subject of this article broke up, not assisting GNG because not about this band (notability is not inherited) and because it's a Q&A-style interview which represents Nugent and Belle talking about themselves. #7 = the closest thing to a substantive source that's been shown, but it serves only to verify that they exist rather than actually offering any noteworthy information that would actually pass NMUSIC — so while it counts toward GNG more than any other source does, it doesn't carry GNG all by itself as the article's only GNG-worthy source.
Not for the first time, I remind you that we're not after "reliable sources have provided one-line acknowledgements that the band existed"; we're after "reliable sources have published substantive coverage about the band accomplishing something encyclopedic". This is far from the first time I've seen you try to argue that a musical artist or band had to be kept because it was possible to find blurbs and one-line acknowledgements of their existence in articles about other things or other people — but we're looking for substantive coverage, not cursory verification of existence. Bearcat (talk) 15:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
They had two singles and an album that made the top 75. We're looking for encyclopedic relevance, backed up by evidence - the GNG isn't everything. Personally I feel that an artist that made the top 75 in the UK is highly likely to be worthy of inclusion. If you don't think these are enough for notability, that's your opinion, but given that you found absolutely nothing, or more likely (as your deletion rationale suggests) didn't even look, it's a bit rich to be criticising me for simply listing what I found from a web search. --Michig (talk) 18:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, GNG is everything. SNGs do not create an exemption from having to source the article over GNG, but merely serve to clarify what kinds of things can get an article kept if they're supported by GNG-qualifying sources. NMUSIC explicitly states that nominal passage of an NMUSIC criterion does not confer an exemption from actually having to get the topic over GNG — it's the depth and quality of the sourcing that can be provided to support the claim that determine whether the claim is passed or failed, not the mere assertion of an NMUSIC claim in and of itself. Peaking in the low end of the Top 75, for instance, is not compelling enough to exempt a band from having to be sourceable to more than just glancing namechecks of its existence — it's high enough if the article is sourced properly, but if the band isn't the subject of enough substantive coverage to pass GNG, then NMUSIC is still failed as NMUSIC explicitly requires that GNG is also being passed in tandem. And no, my deletion rationale does not "suggest that I didn't even look"; it suggests, because this is the truth, that I did look, and in fact found some of the same weak sources you proffered above, but utterly failed to find anything substantive enough to actually satisfy what's required (which your sources above also fail to do.) Bearcat (talk) 18:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are misreading Wikipedia:Notability (which states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline"). --Michig (talk) 20:38, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not misreading anything whatsoever. NMUSIC explicitly states that its notability criteria cannot be passed merely by asserting passage (music being one of those areas where PR flunkies have a marked tendency to inflate the publicity hype well past the actual reality, such as by claiming "hit" status for any song that ever got played on the radio at all even if it got played once and charted nowhere), but are passed only when a WP:GNG-satisfying volume of coverage exists to properly verify the truth of the claim. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:V does not require WP:GNG to be satisfied. Verifiability and finding a lot of significant coverage are two entirely different things. --Michig (talk) 21:21, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say that WP:V requires GNG to be satisfied; I said that NMUSIC requires GNG to be satisfied. The ability to nominally verify that a band exists is not what gets them into Wikipedia; the ability to reference the article to "a lot of significant coverage" is, and NMUSIC is failed if that significant coverage isn't there. Regardless of what the article claims to be true about them, NMUSIC is not passed until significant RS coverage can be shown to properly support the article — NMUSIC explicitly says that very thing right in its own introduction, in fact. Bearcat (talk) 23:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It says nothing of the sort. It says that satisfying the criteria must be reliably sourced. Reliable sourcing of facts does not require significant coverage. --Michig (talk) 07:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it most certainly does say something of the sort. Bearcat (talk) 15:54, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It takes more than the aboility to nominally verify that an NMUSIC criterion has technically been passed for an article about a band to be considered notable under NMUSIC — no matter what criterion a band claims to pass, it's the depth and quality of reliable sourcing that can or cannot be provided to support the article that determines whether the notability claim passes or fails NMUSIC. The sources are what we measure, not how impressive the unsourced or poorly sourced claims sound. Bearcat (talk) 00:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And Michig provided a quality source that supports the notability claim. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, he did not. "Unimpressive chart position, sourced only to that chart's self-published database of its own chart positions" is still an NMUSIC fail if the band aren't the subject of enough substantive coverage in media to pass WP:GNG. NMUSIC #1 is the one criterion that every band or musician always has to satisfy without exception; criteria 2-12 are only considered to be passed if they're supported by the volume and quality of sourcing needed to satisfy #1, but cannot confer an exemption from having to pass #1. For instance, a band does not pass the "touring" criterion just because you can show concert listings directories, or the primary source websites of the tour venues, as proof that they toured — they pass the touring criterion when media are writing content about the tour. And a band does not pass the charting criterion just because a chart position can technically be referenced to that chart itself — they pass the charting criterion when media are writing content about them having charted. Bearcat (talk) 18:22, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not true. The guideline states "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria..." No mention whatsoever of having to meet criterion 1. And a chart company's own website is perfectly good for verifying chart placings - significant coverage is not required for verification, the criterion is satisfied if the chart position can be verified. --Michig (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. We need someone who not only knows Ukrainian, but can also separate the wheat from the chaff. Lyubka writes opinion pieces for the web, that's why his name is mentioned repeatedly, with countless reprints between different websites. But I looked at several of those opinion pieces in Google translate, and I was not impressed. They are not real essays in traditional sense. They are never referenced. They are just opinion pieces. Lyubka is all over the place with his focus, from Poroshenko to Putin and back. An American web journalist like him would probably not have an article in Wikipedia. Maybe he works for BBC Ukraine, I don't know. His only book of poetry is advertised there with an invitation to purchase.

Delete. Plot-only summary of a film, with no indication of real-world context and no reliable sourcing to support it. I can't find any stronger sourcing to repair it with on Google or ProQuest, either: even its profile on Rotten Tomatoes, often the first place to check for the critical reviews that can salvage an unsourced article about a film, lists zero reviews at all, and all I can find on ProQuest is two one-line acknowledgements of its existence in "what's playing at the film festival today" calendar listings. As always, every film that exists is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article that's sourced only to its IMDb profile -- reliable source coverage in media, supporting a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NFILM, is required for an article to become earned.

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. I see some mentions in passing, including in books, but they are in passing. Few sentences in Vincent O'Sullivan (2011). Long Journey to the Border: A Life of John Mulgan. Bridget Williams Books. pp. 111–. ISBN 978-1-927131-32-9.. A bit more in Northrop Frye Newsletter. R.D. Denham. 2002., republished at [23], but even that suggests that the best this organization has going for it is a paragrpah in a very minor outlet - Northrop Frye Newsletter doesn't sound like a particularly mainstream nor peer reviewed publication; as the "newsletter" in the title indicates. If anyone wants to argue we should keep this as an important historical organization, we need more than a paragraph in a newsletter to prove it is notable.

  • Keep. The article was developed considerably since AFD nomination. Now it appears to be a sourced, solid article about an historic organization. --doncram 23:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Doncram: Yes, the article has been developed, but I am afraid it still fails GNG. Please look at the new article and the references. We still have the history, with no discussion of significance, and the history is not based on any in-depth sources, it is cobbled together from mentions in passing, usually such as 'Mr. X, who in 19XX was a member of the Bodley Club, blah blah'. The club has not received any coverage, its mentions occur only because some of its members were notable, and the club gets mentioned in half a sentence as something they did while at Oxford. Let's keep in mind notability is not inherited by association - having some notable members is not enough to make the club notable. I am afraid the article still fall foul of GNG, not to mention OR. At best the club can be mentioned in some article on Oxford University clubs or such, we could have a list - but it does not seem to have standalone notability. If you disagree, please tell me which sources discuss it in depth, and how it meets WP:NORG.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:33, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete and redirect to List of Autobots. The underlying consensus of this discussion is that the subject of the article is not suitable as a topic for a standalone article on Wikipedia for lack of notability. There is an additional consensus that the content within the article is unsatisfactory and therefore should not be merged. I believe "delete and redirect" is the outcome that best reflects these consensuses. Mz7 (talk) 02:25, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are 26 mentions in the New York Times alone, all related to her theatrical career, and some of those appearances as a headliner, so she clearly is notable. But the article as it now stands mentions none of those appearances, or much else, for that matter. I have removed the claim about her death as uncited, and given the timing, highly improbable unless the author was in the hospital when death occurred. Kablammo (talk) 03:16, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Being mentioned in an article doesn't equate to being notable. Especially when it's just her name being mentioned. Nothing biographical wise, just about whatever she was starring in. Not concrete enough. Rusted AutoParts 03:21, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the first half of the sources (no obvious reason to keep going), and they seem to be mostly directly to YouTube, or the most passing mention possible with the exception of this, which is very local coverage, and makes his claim to notability that...basically he's gotten 150k views on the internet.
For a person who is supposed to be a famous YouTuber, it seems that this is his channel, with all of four videos, three of which failed to break 1k views.
There's not been a single keep vote in three deletion discussions, and I don't see any reason that this should have changed in the past 10 months. Salt the title.

  • Keep To be fair, he is quite a well-known interviewer and prior to that a decently well known youtuber, as the article says his interview of Daniel Radcliffe was cited on the Graham Norton Show, and to be fair he has had some pretty major interviews including Will Smith, Bridget Jones among others. However, I have found some further sources in major publications including The Independant, [teneightymagazine.com/2014/11/14/craig-dillon-thomas-corbett/|Ten eighty Magazine] [www.dailydot.com/upstream/craig-dillon-youtube-sex-abuse-allegations/| Daily Dot] and Sky News. I can't see much sense in deleting this article. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 08:05, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete still not a notable journalist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Dillon is a notable journalist in the UK and interviews many celebrities. His Daniel Radcliffe interview [1] received widespread international coverage, which have been referenced in the article. [2][3][4] [5]. As AlessandroTiandelli333 pointed out, he has also interviewed celebrities like Will Smith, Bridget Jones and many more, interviews which have all been referenced in the article.
I see "TimothyJosephWood" seems to think this article is about a "famous YouTuber", which it is not. Dillon started as a YouTuber, but deleted his videos after becoming a Sky Journalist. He claims that "the first half of the sources direct to YouTube" when in fact only 3 out of the 22 sources referenced are YouTube links, the rest are reputable news sites including Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The Independent, The Huffington Post, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph and Sky News.
I too can't see much sense in deleting this article, Dillon is a well known journalist and is worthy of a wikipedia article.

  • Keep - I'm not terribly swayed by the notion that Daniel Radcliffe saying something controversial really lends notability to the guy holding the microphone, especially when it amounts to celebrity gossip, and the coverage is mostly about what was said and not who it was said to. But if you approach the interview like a creative work, it isn't meaningless to notability. Combined with the other sources that are actually about the subject and it's enough to change my vote.

      The article notes:

      When Van Chan formed his band over a year ago, he decided Nowhere Boys would be the perfect name. “We’re not well-known in Hong Kong, but we’re working hard,” he says.

      The quintet – Chan on vocals, guitarist Kenneth Angus, keyboardist/violinist Fisher Kan, bassist Hansun Chan and drummer Nate Wong – describes their sound as “cinematic rock” genre – music inspired by movies.

      ...

      In July last year, they released their self-titled debut EP, featuring six songs mostly recorded in their homes with their own equipment. They spent HK$70,000 on mixing, printing and making music videos, yet saw it as just a passion project and didn’t expect any commercial success.

      To their surprise, it landed a No 5 spot on the iTunes and No 4 on Apple Music Canto-pop charts within its first week.

      Their songs were played on local radio, and the 1,000 copies they printed were gone in three months. Soon after, they got signed to Frenzi Music.

      成立半年就已經出碟的Nowhere Boys把自已定位為Cinematic Rock，這張全在成員家中錄音的專輯，每首歌的編曲都像編劇在說故事，起承轉合讓你目不睱給。他們的隊名也跟講述John Lennon的電影《Nowhere Boy》有關，電影有一幕提到John Lennon年少時曾被老師大潑冷水，向他說:「You are going nowhere.」當時John Lennon回應：「It’s nowhere full of genisues.」主音Van覺得這句對白洽似他們樂隊的精神，希望五位寂寂無名的成員有一日可以到達「full of geniuses」的目的地。

      開場的〈狂想曲〉把Hip Hop、Church、西班牙結他、Baroque Classical、搖滾和蘇聯式行軍音樂共冶一爐，是碟內最花功夫的一首歌，雖然五花八門，但這首講他們音樂理念的歌毫無違和感；這種塔倫天奴式的瘋狂延續到〈4, 3, 2.5〉，把你帶到美國西部一個婚禮現場，遇上瘋狂鎗手大肆破壞，成員Fisher還在錄音中途忽發奇想，把私伙汽鎗掏出來，即席把扳機的聲音加進歌內；有人說電影是逃離現實的出口，主音Van就在〈The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up〉中，跟著Peter Pan，在無憂的節奏中在夜空翱翔；靈感同樣來自卡通的〈Castle In The Sky〉本來是Van講述童年時想逃避欺凌的作品，但上年雨傘革命為這首歌添上多一層意義，他們參考了《天空之城》主題曲的Chord Progression，希望大家能乘著翼動的節奏離開欺壓，去到像天空之城的理想彼方。

      要喺云云樂隊中突圍而出，Nowhere Boys有明確定位：「我哋玩『電影式搖滾』，因為成員本身玩音樂嘅風格唔同，同一時間玩live都有好多唔同聲效，希望做到每一首歌都有唔同嘅故事，聽完一首歌就好似睇咗一套電影，而我哋嘅音樂都比較大眾化，希望任何人聽到都會喜歡我哋。」問到家人對全職做音樂嘅睇法，建築師出身嘅Van笑言其他成員一早同家人「傾掂數」，身為唯一「半途出家」嘅成員，佢大方分享：「因為我已經完成咗佢哋想我做嘅嘢，都做咗好多年正職建築師，所以好想做一啲自己想做嘅嘢，咁啱有一班樂手好夾得埋，於是我同家人講辭咗呢份工。」

      The article notes:

      Hong Kong band Nowhere Boys has been on a high lately. Since releasing their first EP Nowhere Boys in July, the five-piece cinematic rock outfit has performed at Freespace Happening in the West Kowloon Cultural District, Backstage Live (which closed down this summer) and Orange Peel, and alongside the likes of Eman Lam and Supper Moment. Consisting of Van Chan, Nate Wong, Fisher Kan, Hansun Chan and Kenneth Angus, the band is playing at Swire Properties’ Crossovers – Thursday Live at Via Fiori in Quarry Bay on November 26 and will be promoting their Music Bee crowdfunding campaign for their upcoming album at the Fringe Club on November 20.

      The article notes:

      樂隊Nowhere Boys隊員分別是負責主唱Van、鼓手Nate、結他手Kenneth、琴手Fisher和低音結他手Hansun，他們的全新音樂概念能將5子的特色都展現出來，「最開始夾的時候，沒有想過會玩什麼類型。大家一玩起來，發現都很有特點，感覺就像是電影的背景音樂，那次之後，就覺得玩什麼的音樂都可以。」

      ...

      對於Nowhere Boys來說，舞台就是他們最享受的地方，因為和觀眾一起玩，「其實我們有很多歌詞和故事都有現場感，就像一個音樂劇那樣，有些位置會有對白，可能會讓人覺得有些老土。但是我們並不這麼覺得，在說對白的那一刻就將觀眾帶入故事中，知道會發生什麼事，將音樂現實化。」除了加入對白，他們還會思考有什麼動作配合歌曲，或者會即場表演，其實早在創作歌曲的時候，已經有這個考慮，「其實我們每做一首歌，第一件事就會想，在Live的時候如何做，有什麼位置可以玩。」

      From Google Translate:

      The band Nowhere Boys is the lead singer Van, drummer Nate, guitarist Kenneth, Fisher and bass guitarist Hansun, their new music concept can be 5 sub-features are displayed, "the beginning of the folder, We did not think about what type of play.We all play up and found very characteristics, I feel like the background music of the film, after that, I feel what music can play.

      For Nowhere Boys, the stage is where they enjoy the most, because with the audience to play, "In fact, we have a lot of lyrics and stories have a sense of the scene, like a musical, as some locations will have dialogue, may make people But we do not think so, in the dialogue that moment will the audience into the story, know what will happen, the music reality. "In addition to adding dialogue, they will think about what action with Songs, or on the spot performances, in fact, as early as in the creation of songs, have this consideration, "In fact, each of us to do a song, the first thing will think, how to do when Live, what position can play . "

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

  • Delete as what's simply available are announcements, listings and interviews, and this is all for a barely 1 year old band hence nothing but said triviality as sources. I concur with the nomination in that none of this established the needed substance and simply because it's a major publication name is not automatically bestowing them notability. At best, all of this still suggests it's too soon. SwisterTwister talk 00:01, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think the comment by Cunard reinforces my point. Large coverage doesn't automatically confer notability. There must be substance. All the links merely show is that marketing skits have been sent out successfully by PR, to get the band noticed. They show the band is exceedingly young and fails WP:BAND. scope_creep (talk) 11:06, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's the usual suspects of episode reviews and fan commentaries which aren't RS, and a few other books that I can't find definitive references to this episode in using Google search, but probably have about the same level as what we have here.

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 (music) requirement. I cannot find anything better - sources are limited to self-published, and few mention in passing in regional/university media. I cannot even think of a good target for merger.

  • Keep – The Arcadian Singers has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, a national classical music radio station in the United Kingdom, so I believe meets Criterion 12 of WP:MUSBIO. I will try to find a reference for this and other independent reviews. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 20:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Being broadcast on BBC 3 should not be sufficient for an article on Wikipedia. In pointing to Criterion 12, Mr Bowen misses the words "featured subject" and "substantial segment": something like a programme dedicated to the ensemble. What we need in lieu of that is charting albums, reviews in reputable music publications, etcetera. Nothing in the article shows that the group is anything other than an amateur local ensemble.

  • Crossrhythms - your first link - has a page on how to become a volunteer reviewer for them: just send them your details and you're in! http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/becomeareviewer/ The website also charmingly has a prayer room: 'Get close to God, be extravagant in declaring your love for Him in our Prayer Room'. This low-quality venue for internet commentary is likely to produce little better than an Amazon customer review. After seeing that as your first link I didn't even bother to look at the other links you mentioned. Find a review in Gramophone Magazine or a major broadsheet (Times, Guardian, Telegraph) and then we will have an indication of the group's significance.

  • Comment – some quotes from reviews in national/international music magazines according to [26]:

BBC Music Magazine: ‘The Arcadian Singers display dedication, accuracy and insight into the composers' idioms.’ (Performance **** Sound ****)

Cathedral Music: ‘The Arcadian Singers tackle the music very well, nicely balanced throughout, tempi neither too fast nor too slow where it matters.’

Choir and Organ: ‘There is a wealth of talent in our universities as shown on this CD marking the 25th anniversary of The Arcadian Singers of Oxford.’

Sadly these don't seem to be freely online on the relevant websites. They are still relevant for WP:GNG. Does anyone have more complete references? —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For the BBC one which is available at [27], the review, with regards to the Arcadian Singers, is limited to the single sentence you quote. If they are all that long, I have to wonder if this constitutes significant. WP:BAND does that they are the subject of the review in question. If we get 3-4 sentences, all in passing, I am afraid it may not enough. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:51, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The review is actually of one of the Arcadian Singers' CDs. Note that the choir also organizes music composition competitions. E.g., see a national Women Composers Competition with the British composer Cecilia McDowall on the panel [28]. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 09:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep  It is not an essay and GNG does not have a standard of scholarship.  An eight-year old tag without any discussion on the talk page would be a reason to contact the person who added the tag, who is still active on Wikipedia.  Nor has the nomination discussed the red links that would be created by the discussion, which is WP:BEFORE B5.  WP:BEFORE C1 states, "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD."  The WP:BEFORE D1 "minimum search expected" on Google Books includes:
  • Smith and Cushing, History of Berkshire County, Massachusetts: With... 1885, "...Adonijah Bidwell, who was the first pastor of the Congregational church, the first church established in Tyringham, now Monterey. Rev. Adonijah Bidwell was of English stock and his heirs have the family genealogy from King Egbert the Great..."
  • Cooke, Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and ..., 1906, "Adonijah Bidwell, while a resident of Stockbridge, served as one of the early treasurers of Berkshire county and also as attorney-general of Massachusetts. Adonijah Bidwell (2) had a son, Barnabas Bidwell, who also followed agricultural ..."
  • Drew, Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western..., 2012, "Adonijah Bidwell (1716–1784), Township No. 1's first settled minister, in 1750 was assigned a lot on which to build a home in the original town center, on the Great Road. Stone ruins not far from the present dwelling were probably his first, ..."
The arguments that "somebody should improve the writing", "somebody should improve the level of scholarship", and "somebody should do something about the notability tag"; are arguments for someone else to improve the encyclopedia.  AfD is not cleanup.  WP:SOFIXIT is an editing guideline, and it relies on WP:5P and WP:PRESERVE.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:27, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great job with the research, thanks for bringing these books back. However, would I be correct in ascertaining that the mentions of Bidwell within those books are very short? Despite being mentioned in several sources, which proves he did exist, I worry that there isn't enough significant coverage to push this biography past WP:GNG (plenty of old-timey Americans were old British nobles and preached from pulpits, but I wouldn't argue all are notable by default). I still think a page on the Bidwell family might not have the same issues. Yvarta (talk) 18:38, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Smmurphy: Do you agree to a merge to Bidwell family?  If you do, I do.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if I do. I've been too busy to get to this, but I still think the subject is suitable for an article. If the article hasn't been deleted by next week, I plan to expand it a bit, and will ping around then and see if I can meet the Heymann Standard. Smmurphy(Talk) 03:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a bit to the page. The references: Franklin 1885, Terry 1892, Smith and Cushing 1885, Dooley 1900, and Clute 1993 are all non-genealogical, independent sources which discuss Bidwell for multiple paragraphs. I only can see the first page of Clute 1993 at proQuest, and suppose that the later pages of that source may include more details (if anyone can access the full thing, I am curious). I do not find a published version of John Demos' research, but Demos is a respected historian who gave a talk about Bidwell (a related talk is available on youtube). Smmurphy(Talk) 01:55, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a link to the Clute paper [29]; pretty much the whole thing (22 pages) is about Bidwell. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:34, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The discussion failed to coalesce around a particular position, and while the sense of the discussion is that the delete camp had a bit more force, it is stretching things too much to hold the article in its final form fits into WP:NOT, or claim to lack of notability. I will say the sources are more notable for their volume than their quality, but that is not in itself a reason for deletion. I also agree that the article's editing history shows signs consistent with undisclosed paid editing; such articles tend to be watched closely.

WP:NOT policy still applies, this is still questionable for actual independent notability and substance because there's still only inherited claims of significance and notability from the events themselves, and even my own searches found nothing but a mere announcement in a 2014 Bloomberg and then a republished story about the event in 2010's Forbes; none of this amounts to substance and there's enough to suggest this is an advertising campaign, and in fact, the sign the only major news were for the one event shows there's no significant attention apart it. See also my Draft comments when it was at AfC. We never negotiate with our highest policies WP:NOT because they allow removal of anything, regardless of "But it has sourcing". My comments even show below what the article contains, what's been removed and what exists in other sourcing, something no one else has cared to state yet.

  • Keep (article author), I wrote the article and am a programmer trying to become an editor, not a paid person to do this. I will also point out that these articles about him are from 3 major indpendent sources(profiles of him) and other articles and awards over a 15 year time period, not some one off event. There is no conference of notability from association, what is noteable is the person. The guidelines are met from the Wikipedia: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]" Lastly, you pointing out 2010 Forbes article and 2014 articles are on different subjects regarding the man, which somewhat bolsters case of notability as it adds an additional source that says he is worthy of coverage.

  • Delete This is essentially a who's who entry, showing no particular accomplishment at anything. Disciple of a notable financier, which does not make their student notable. Lives in a famous apartment house, ditto Co-head of a firm--no indication of the relative role. 2 of the funds did well--no information about the number of their funds that did not. Member of a minor donor's group at the NYPL--not even a major contributor. Now runs (or a least finances) a taxi firm in Argentina, described as a gamble. Anyone trying to write and article or profile out of this is building fluff on air. It seems the write for bloomberg managed to do this, which is good evidence that their article is PR and not a RS--Bloomberg contains both. (In my experience those devoted to individual people are almost certainly PR, those devoted to individual relatively minor companies likely to be PR, and only those devoted to famous companies of industries or general business or economics likely to be actual independent reporting.
That WP people are willing to support this article represents the blind faith that a naive interpretation of the GNG, ignoring such inconvenient adjective as "independent" has some connection to the real world. Fortunately , the GNG is a guideline, but NOT WHOSWHO is fundamental policy.
A good working definition of who's who is something the person might as well have written themselves.(tho in this case it seems to be a spa working for a family of capitalists). That editor expressed a wish to let the pros handle it, seemingly convinced that WP is a top down organization run by professional writers, which is what they are apparently used to. We don't have pros, of course, and all editors are equal--except spas. DGG ( talk ) 15:48, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the "fundamental policy".  Please explain how it relates to what you are saying.
===Wikipedia is not a newspaper===
Shortcut

As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events. However, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Ensure that Wikipedia articles are not:

3. Who's who. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. (See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more details.)

Here is what an Italian business news outlet based in Milan, originally founded in 1865, Il Sole 24 Ore, says, using Italian-English online translation from PROMT of [31]:

Besides, the history about Abrams also without taxi is already worthy of a film. Assumed in Goldman, it asserts of having studied strategies on the derivatives with Fischer Black, the famous American economist that it has invented the equation of Black&Scholes to calculate the price of the options. After a passage to Merrill Lynch, in 2001 there melts his hedge fund, Titan Capital Group. In the 201st one it will be cited in judgement at a client's, convinced of being being deceived on the strategies hedge of Titan and on the risk level, but the court will give reason to Abrams. Ah, among other things in 2009 Russel had already been cited in judgement for sexual nuisances at two employees', forced to print photo of the wife in topless. Last year the closing of the hedge and the beginning of the new adventure. This time in taxi.

So while DGG says by way of WP:NOTWHOSWHO that this is a one event about a taxi company, an Italian newspaper says that the rest of the biography outside of the taxi story is "worthy of a film".  Unscintillating (talk) 19:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • The articles contain PROFILES of Abrams himself, there are 3 of them from major sources. The articles contain indepth info about the man and his career not just the taxi thing and information about his notable headline scandals even. 1E does not apply really to the articles themselves, but in addition to the articles themselves there are profiles of Mr. Abrams over extended time frame - all the way back to 2003 - from established industry publications, and other newspapers such as Forbes and Business Insider. Regardless if the headlines flag the taxi item as his latest venture his previous ventures and himself have received coverage from independent sources over a period of almost 15 years. Faberdasher (talk) 01:56, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, Swister. Profiles are not basically "interviews" as you claim. We do not consider profiles to be interviews at Wikipedia. A profile is an independent source or sources examining background and objectively reporting on it. There are many things in these articles I am sure Abrams would object to having been reported. An interview is defined as most of content coming from the source him/herself and is thus not reliable. These articles are thus profiles from independent sources and fits WP:BASIC. If we establish that it fits WP:BASIC then #2 of WP:ANYBIO (which is enough for inclusion) fits with regards to his taxi empire. WP:1E is not intended to be applied in the manner you are applying it - a person's significant contribution is not a "on off event." Rather WP:1E is meant for mostly news events and other events, usually one off events. It does not apply to WP:ANYBIO since it is that single contribution for which the person is known for. Lastly, the WP:1E would additionally not apply since the articles cited in the wiki here are over a sustained time frame on Abrams himself and MULTIPLE events in his career, e.g. the man himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:810D:E100:11B:3DC6:58F9:4EA0 (talk) 16:09, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:GNG is met so he is presumed notable, Looking deeper WP:BASIC is met, and WP:ANYBIO #2 is met. Your claim about WP:1E is not applicable - in your definition inventing rabbies vaccine would be WP:1E whereas WP:1E is mostly applied to people in news events not individuals being profiled because they themselves are notable WP:NOTWHOWHO says "unless news coverage goes beyond a single event our coverage should be limited to a single event" - as Abrams has had BOTH coverage of a single event - the taxi thing - PLUS many other events dating back almost 15 years - his business success, Forbes article, NYPOST, Business Insider coverage of him and his funds, WP:WHOWHO is thus not violated - there are multiple notable events because he himself is notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:810D:E100:11B:3DC6:58F9:4EA0 (talk) 16:17, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Its necessary, not sufficient. It meets WP:GNG which means it passes the sniff test. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faberdasher (talk • contribs) 01:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - There's no speedy keep because the sources themselves only show actual significance for the event itself therefore WP:BLP1E applies and even improvements in the history couldn't improve this and it's sourcing hence enough to take here to AfD hence why we need to evaluate this closely. There's no policies here that immediately accept any article simply for being "sourced and informative". Also, simply stating "Let's take it out to AfD to improve and hope others also join" is not based by policy but the fact it was reworked and still became advertising makes it inapplicable since no one else was able to actually improve it. Also, the fact any persistent article about a promotional businessman is quickly resubmitted and the account focuses with absolutely nothing else makes WP:SPA apply, and thus why we are here at this AfD. As for "People are presumed to be notable", it's a suggestive guideline, not policy, and the guidelines also say "There must be significant coverage not from interviews and the few news listed here include interviews, hence not even fully satisfying WP:GNG. In all this, WP:NOT still applies. Take example While at Titan, Abrams made strategic investments in Argentina culminating in his founding of Russellcar. Mr. Abrams pledged to invest over $100 million to expand his fleet of sustainable vehicles providing modern efficient transportation, while providing full-time employment with full benefits for his union workforce....Abrams leveraged his expertise under Fischer Black to start one of the first dedicated volatility arbitrage funds, achieving notoriety in the category over its lifetime....Titan earned numerous awards as one of the best performing hedge funds in the world with significant gains in all of its funds during the Financial Crisis.... The last part is a vague "Why, where, which and when?" because it simply claims it was "one of" which instantly is not significant and, two, "numerous awards" is as equally vague since it never cites anything, they could've even been paid awards. Take also Abrams himself was recognized as a leader in volatility trading in both developed and emerging markets which is itself sourced by 3 interviews all in questionable publications as it is, that alone is questionable enough. Even then, the awards listed are simply that: Business awards, and there's absolutely no policy to suggest accepting them, especially not as PR-vague as "best value fund manager award", and there's never been an article in which we've accepted a business award like it. :Also, from above, it's stated that Lastly, you pointing out 2010 Forbes article and 2014 articles are on different subjects regarding the man, which somewhat bolsters case of notability as it adds an additional source that says he is worthy of coverage - Which is actually not the case because 1 PR 2010 and 2014 article that merely state him, is not coverage at all, since it was so far apart in time and so trivial. If he was "worthy of attention", wher are the other numerous news? Therefore, no one can honestly consider this "major reliable significance" since it couldn't even be sourced by significant publications with an honest history. Given all of these concerns, there's no "Speedy Keep". SwisterTwister talk 01:18, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are over 10 superlative awards of this man on Google, 2 of which are cited here in the article. They are not paid awards. So why are you saying they are not cited?Faberdasher (talk)
Your facts are not correct and I do not know if this is some sort of rouse or lie: Hedge Funds World, Best Hedge Fund Manager Awards, 3.10.09. That is not a paid publication and it is not an interview, it is simply an award. Same with all the other awards there such as this where he is quoted, not interviewed and it is said that he was voted by his peers to receive it: http://www.hedgeweek.com/2012/07/12/169677/titan-capital-group-%E2%80%93-best-relative-value-fund-manager or this one: www.shariahfunds.com%2Fpubs%2Fawards%2Fhfwmec2009.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHU4Q4Y_LQvf15eZNWDditw3PWt6A&bvm=bv.142059868,d.eWE
These are not PR articles, are you suggested he paid to have bad PR in 2010? This is clearly independently written. Your claims are not credible. It is relevant he is in two major pubs(he's in more, but you brought up 2) because this guideline states from WP:GNG: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]
  • Comment - The above comment is factually incorrect, so please do not assume Swister is saying accurate depiction of the article, or myself. Again, per the above keeps and speed keeps mentioned, the policies are met and meets the definition of notable. Again, this is my first article and I am not promoting anything despite Swister's accusations. There is "signficant coverage" from interviews and not interviews, both types, although Swister only mentions interviews. All of this merits a Speedy Keep and allow others to work on the article as there are further sources out there with CNBC etc and even the Forbes article Swister found on his own but chose not add to the wiki(we had to figure out what he was talking about), but people are hesitant to work on a possibly deleted article. Thank you. Lets move past. Faberdasher (talk) 01:39, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's actually a guideline, not a policy as I stated above. Also, "There is "signficant coverage" from interviews" is exactly what makes it unacceptable and the GNG itself states: Interviews are not independent of the subject and are not established for notability. I also wasn't going to add the Forbes because it was not only one trivial article but simply about his business activities. Our policies have established that even CNBC is common host for PR, as equal as a Today Show interview would be, because they're simply news stories. I myself could get a Today News story or two, but that wouldn't make my own notable article. SwisterTwister talk 01:44, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Last comment of mine - Wikipedia 5 main pillars is that it has no firm rules only guideliens: Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars. So not sure what you are saying Lastly, There is not significant coverage from interviews - there is one interview out of 10-15 sources. And additionally - we meet all critera for notability and do not violate any of the DO NOTs. So I dont understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faberdasher (talk • contribs) 02:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To specify, while the pillars state "There are no rules, only guidelines", WP:What Wikipedia is not explicitly states it is in fact a non-negotiable policy, and it's in fact the highest policy we have. Something that we always use for any AfD or any examined article and that itself states that Wikipedia is not a business listing or otherwise business webhost nor is it a collection of business information for clients, services or anything else. This current article has the signs of it and, therefore, no claims of "He's worthy of coverage and attention" will convince against this policy, especially when there's no actual major coverage. SwisterTwister talk 02:17, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but 4 of your editors disagree. I have told you many times it is not a business listing or collection of business information for clients. The accusations are simply baseless and happy to talk over the phone about it - but while you can assume such things I am telling you right now - you're wrong. This is also why I had to warn people your statements are inaccurate in my post above. I am happy to talk about notability and would rather have the professional editors get involved in that - but please stop saying it is PR. It's not. I will let the pros handle it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Faberdasher (talk • contribs) 02:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTWHOWHO says "unless news coverage goes beyond a single event our coverage should be limited to a single event" - as Abrams has had BOTH coverage of a single event - the taxi thing - PLUS many other events dating back almost 15 years - his business success, Forbes article, NYPOST, Business Insider coverage of him and his funds, WP:WHOWHO is thus not violated - there are multiple notable events if you just Google him or look at the citations here.
Comment I think your diminishing his accomplishments. He was disciple of a famous economist which should be included in the article, then founded one of the first volatility funds on that expertise which was $1 billlion dollar fund(which is automaticlly notable) and he himself was notable since he received awards against every other hedge fund manager(11,000), and then used his money to create the largest taxi company in Buenos Aires and the largest eco-friendly one at that(all vehicles are renewable energy according to the articles) And has been profiled over a period of 10 years and the profiles are about the history of his work and person on both subjects - finance and taxis and personal matters by Bloomberg and the Independent and more. This is an independently written wiki on an individual, not paid or PR, and the guy has been a pioneer in both fields of US finance overall and now the metropolis of Buenos Aires - which is why many newspapers in Argentina and internationally call him the Argentinian Taxi King. Also, theres no doubt people would want to know all this information. However if the award listing is not important we can do without it but the awards are notable because it was against all other US hedge funds, 11,000. The profile of the guy can not be underestimated.( Faberdasher (talk) 18:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"One of the first" is not a genuine claim of significance as it could be like a "He founded one of the first companies for computers" (hardly a significance, since there were numerous). Also, once again, our notability policies explicitly said: Inherited notability won't support an article simply because of his job involvements, so in this case, "The profile cannot be underestimated" goes against our policies because it's an act of attempting to change them. Also, As before, please show us, for the sake of everyone, where he has been in major newspapers because my own searches found nothing but those 2 trivial articles from 2010 and 2014, which if that's all Google cared to show, it shows he's not consistently "profiled" as you say (Google also showed nothing from the past 10 years). "Disciple of an economist" is also attempting to inherit his involvements with someone to accept this man's own article; I could've worked with 10 of the living billionaires but I wouldn't get an article simply because I worked with them (no one ever would), hence it's not applicable. Please list all of the available newspapers here and add these newspapers to the article and we'll all consider them. SwisterTwister talk 05:46, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not every fact in the article is meant to establish Wikipedia's definition of notability - some things are just information such as being recognized as "one of the first" by independent and reliable sources or that he worked with someone famous. This is also relevant to the notable person's background. We are determining if he himself it notable and your harping on background information. The information you cite is relevant to the article since independent sources are citing him as "one of the first." and not meant to establish notability. For an understanding of why it's notable I am reposting the above: WP:GNG is met so he is presumed notable, Looking deeper WP:BASIC is met, and WP:ANYBIO #2 is met. Your claim about WP:1E is not applicable - in your definition inventing rabbies vaccine would be WP:1E whereas WP:1E is mostly applied to people in news events not individuals being profiled because they themselves are notable WP:NOTWHOWHO says "unless news coverage goes beyond a single event our coverage should be limited to a single event" - as Abrams has had BOTH coverage of a single event - the taxi thing - PLUS many other events dating back almost 15 years - his business success, Forbes article, NYPOST, Business Insider coverage of him and his funds, WP:WHOWHO is thus not violated - there are multiple notable events.

Comment I do believe there needs to be guidelines on what makes a financier notable as it has became a major thing in our age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people) does not include that category leading to confusion it seems like. Who wants to start? Faberdasher (talk) 16:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My question is still unanswered about seeing other news that exist, because the Forbes was once again a trivial minor article from 2010 and that's all. WP:NOT#Advertising and WP:NIT#Listing is still violated because of this and the fact there's still no signs of other coverage, despite the assertions it exists. By finally showing the news, we'll all see them because my searches are again not finding anything. As of today, no one still hasn't improved the article. Also, adding SURVEY at the top is unsuitable given WP:AFDISNOTAVOTE, something our core pages mention. SwisterTwister talk 18:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC)*Comment and analysis of sources :[reply]

Therefore none of this has been significant news, since they were either the same trade business awards, the repeated sources (the Bloomberg and Hedgeweek taxi events), so the assertions: "It's about his major career, business achievements and life" is not supported since none of this mirrored it; by searching once again for sources, I was unable to find anything. The applicable pages for this is WP:COATRACK and WP:PUFFERY. SwisterTwister talk 19:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PUFERY and WP:COATRACK is wrong because my statement that "the articles are about his major career, business achievement and life" is supported and your statement that the articles are "just about the taxi event" are not supported: Here are direct paragraphs from the articles - it is not just about the taxi "event" as you call it:
The fund was sued in 2010 by an investor claiming it was misled about Titan’s strategy and risk level. An appeals court dismissed the case in 2012. Titan was also sued by two former employees in 2009 for sexual harassment after Abrams asked them to print topless photos of his wife, according to court documents. A New York court dismissed the complaints in 2011. " Is that about the taxi?

At Goldman Sachs in the early 1990s, Abrams says he researched derivatives strategies alongside the late Fischer Black, one of the co-authors of the Black-Scholes equation used to calculate options prices. By the end of the 1990s, he was co-head of U.S. equity-derivative trading and convertible arbitrage at Merrill Lynch.

Is all of that about the taxi event? It is not. And these articles about him are mirrored on Bloomberg, Forbes, Independent, Business Insider etc? Some are smaller than others and 4 of them, Bloomberg, Forbes(as you cited and found, not me), Independent, and an Argentinian newspaper have profiles of the man in 2014 - and coverage of him goes back to 2003, with some years being more high profile than others as is normal in ones life. This is not WP:1E as you keep saying since there are other notable achievements - taxi, finance, scandals, being covered over time and although taxi is the significant contribution (renewable energy largest, title called Argentinian Taxi King, etc) that satisfied the criteria of WP:ANYBIO #2, his coverage has been beyond that in non trivial manners and on substantive issues. WP:ANYBIO #2 is fit, as is WP:BASIC, and WP:GNG. WP:PUFERY is wrong and sort of insulting to him because there are too many sources mentioning him over 15 years, since 2003 infact, and many of those sources going into depth with his background and life. It is not WP:PUFERY which is for "fleeeting celebrity" He has has significant press since 2003.

And yes there are some articles like the awards or the fund size that are there to prove facts, not to prove notability - e.g. founding partner of $1 billion hedge fund that beat 11,000 other funds for awards through peer review and non-peer review awards. So stop citing them as reason for him not to be notable just cause those alone are not according to wikipedia definition. They are significant facts relevant for a notable person.

  • Comment and analysis- The Keep comments still haven't substantied themselces with countering our best policy WP:NOT and instead only say "Sourcing is enough". However, examining the current article now as of today, I see only 4 other sources have been added, and they are still only published and republished business announcements. If that's honestly the best we have, then all chances of actual improvements have been exhausted. The information itself is still the same aside from a few cosmetic changes. SwisterTwister talk 02:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, but WP:NOT has been countered: WP:NOTWHOWHO says "unless news coverage goes beyond a single event our coverage should be limited to a single event" - as Abrams has had BOTH coverage of a single event - the taxi thing - PLUS many other events dating back almost 15 years - his business success, Forbes article, NYPOST, Business Insider coverage of him and his funds, WP:WHOWHO is thus not violated. Also you refer to "business announcements" but nothing here is a business announcement or is promotional in nature, all the articles 3-5 that profile this noteable man
have various degrees of favoritism but all are reliable, independent, and fit the criteria.

  • Keep  I was thrown off for a while by the two negative legal news stories prior to the taxi story, but the Italian newspaper has put the negative news in perspective, which is also the default for Wikipedia...that negative news adds to notability.  The one event, toosoon, 1E, and NOTWHOSWHO arguments are all broadly misapplied.  Also note that interviews contribute in varying degrees to notability.  This is an ordinary GNG keep.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The policy WP:Wikipedia is not a business listing still applies since it's clear that's only what this has existed for, along with the fact the account then started a similar business listing for this man's brother, hence WP:SPA. As it is, the Keep comments earlier never advanced their keep beliefs especially once I analyzed all of the sources above. "Also note that interviews contribute in varying degrees to notability" is not what even the general notability standards say, since it says "Coverage must be significant, independent and substantial and must not be trivial". As stated, earlier, if all we have as available sourcing is actual published and republished announcements, there's nothing else. SwisterTwister talk 23:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:Wikipedia Is Not A Business Listing is a red link, not a "clear" policy.  Your proof that I don't know what I'm talking about regarding interviews fails to show any relationship between the "interviews" and the text you've cited.  Nor does WP:N use the word "substantial".  WP:GNG states, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention".  As I said, interviews contribute in varying degrees to notability, and one of the best cases is when the publication prepared a bio for the interview.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:09, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although you've now created a Wikilink for this conversation, [33], that points to Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a directory, you haven't explained the relationship of the Wikilink to the conversation.  As stated at WP:VAGUEWAVE, "While merely citing a policy or guideline may give other editors a clue as to what the reasoning is, it does not explain specifically how the policy applies to the discussion at hand."  In this case, you've also yet to explain which part is relevant, and it is a long section.  I found two sentences that use both the words "business" and "list".
  • "Likewise an article on a business should not contain a list of all the company's patent filings."
  • "7. Simple listings without context information. Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances..."  That section goes on to say, "Information about relevant single entries with encyclopedic information should be added as sourced prose."
Do you agree that there is (1) no list of patent filings in the article, and (2) no listing of business alliances without supporting sourced prose?

  • Comment  User:DGG has not responded, nor does he have a duty to do so, but the problem remains unremedied. 

    Two basic rules when editing other editors talk-page comments are (1) We are here to build an encyclopedia.  (2) Don't change the meaning.

    Note also the agreement editors make when they submit to talk pages, "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL."

    Here is the disputed edit, from [34].

It is about his entire life, a profile on him. The clickbait headline is not the whole article as your statement suggests - e.g. the taxi "event". As another user said above it goes deep into his background, failures and succeses. In depth even back to the 1990s, even his scandals. How can you say this is not independent or trivial?
This is an Argentinian Newspaper calling him the Argentinian Taxi King, if you speak Spanish. So it's not just PR fodder.
This is totally wrong. Hedgeweek -states the awards for managers were based on a shortlist of top performers during the year produced by Preqin[object data intelligence firm on performance], which was put to vote by Hedgeweek readers, who include both investors and managers as well as other industry professionals at firms This is NOT PR and not bought. Stop saying that. Its not different than any other election such as the Academy Awards etc.
These two are meant to prove facts stated in the article not for notability
  • 7 is simply a mere citation and claim he's mentioned in the same PR publication
This is not a "mere citation." It's a full on article in a newspaper. Stop calling it a PR publication. Would journalist appreciate that??
  • 8 is the same source as earlier
  • 9 is simply a business "numbers" listing and is not significant, especially news-wise
This is to prove about the fund having a $1billion size which is automatically notable according to editors. It's not about news. Not evertything in the article is going to be notable,some things are there just to prove facts.
  • 10 is another claim asseration with URL, from the same trade publication
Please reference the material.
  • 11 is simply a "Hedge Fund 100" listing, it's not major news
Again, if the awards are a problem we dont have to have them, but there are a lot. Hedge Fund 100 out of 11,000 IS MAJOR achievement in Wall Street Journal for Titan, his firm. It is not encyclopedia worthy but it is worthy as background information on this notable subject.
  • 12 is another company-business listing
Again this is not notability for the subject the subject has notability independent of this, this is just helpful information about his performance which is clearly significant! And because he is notable its relevant information for the reader.
  • 13 is the same
Again this is not notability for the subject the subject has notability independent of this, this is just helpful information about his performance which is clearly significant! And because he is notable its relevant information for the reader.

Again this is not notability for the subject the subject has notability independent of this, this is just helpful information about his performance which is clearly significant! And because he is notable its relevant information for the reader.
  • 16 is the same
Again this is not notability for the subject the subject has notability independent of this, this is just helpful information about his performance which is clearly significant! And because he is notable its relevant information for the reader.

Again this is not notability for the subject the subject has notability independent of this, this is just helpful information about his performance which is clearly significant! And because he is notable its relevant information for the reader.
  • 19 never actually mentions him by name
THis is to prove the 11,000 figure of hedge funds which is why awards are significant. This is not what he is notable for at all.
  • 20 is the same as 11-18, an award listing
A bit different - this gives HIM an award instead of his fund.
  • 21 is the same source as earlier
A bit different - this gives HIM the award instead of his fund.
  • 22 is the taxi event story again
No - have you read the whole article? The article is about him and his life. It is not the taxi story.
  • 23 is the Bloomberg link for the taxi event story again
  • 24 is the taxi event story again
This is not about taxi event story - its about Argentina and not even about him. It is not meant to convey notability but rather show that he created the largest taxi cab company and the largest eco friendly taxi cab company in all of Buenos Aires. Thus the Argentinina Taxi King name which he is known as in Buenos Aires.
  • 25 is a local "fiction literature" award
This is the largest library in the United States next to the Library of Congress - e.g. the largest public Library in the country. It is not local at all. That's like saying the Library of Congress is "local" cause its in D.C. The award appears to be given to lots of people all over the country.

  • Keep After reading the above and also looking at sources already on the page, I ran my own search on a news archive, which clearly established notability by showing articles in major media covering his activities over about 2 decades (coverage may go back somewhat longer - but I did not attempt to discover if some old stories about a college student was this Russell Abrams). He is covered both as an investor, and in at least one instance as the subject of prurient tabloid interest in activities exhibiting poor judgment on Russel's part, but I really cannot find an argument for deletion. E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:33, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First, what policy states this is acceptable? The fact there's been classic exhibited signs of paid advertising violates our policies (worse when it's unconfessed) and the shown defense of it, also violates our policies. Not only is this sufficient basis for deletion, but the fact no one else including the Keep above, has offered any better substance, after (1) the article was still never improved but then the added sourcing was mirroring the concerns. In all fairness, I will state that the first Keep voters expressed their doubts in an offwiki message. SwisterTwister talk 00:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per above. The two articles are both quite short, so splitting the two isn't required. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It should be clarified here that the Ivy League didn't have a basketball tournament until this year, while the list of men's basketball champions should be completed back to the formal creation of the league for basketball in 1956. [35] (We already have a separate article for the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League that preceded it.) So this list of champions needs to be completed, and won't be as short as it looks now. If it is going to be merged with an article about the new tournament, it still seems to me that the title of this article, Ivy League Men's Basketball Champions, would be the more appropriate one, since the vast bulk of the merged article's content will not be about the tournament. So I think we should keep this article; editors can consider merging Ivy League Men's Basketball Tournament into this one. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Disagree. The article Ivy League Men's Basketball Tournament is one of a series of all NCAA Division I men's basketball conference tournaments, all on {{NCAA men's college basketball tournament navbox}}. The actual tournament itself is notable but the list of champions is secondary and should be merged into the parent article. Most, if not all, of the other conference tournament articles are formatted this way and it makes a lot more sense IMO. Jrcla2 (talk)
      • What parent article? Where would you put this? It won't fit very well in the existing 109,651-byte Ivy League article, especially not when the list of 60 years of champions is completed. I suppose we could rename this article to Ivy League men's basketball on the model of Pac-12 Conference men's basketball--the Pac-12 being another conference that long avoided the post-season tournament, and another article that's essentially a list of season champions. See also List of Big Ten Conference men's basketball regular season champions, for another conference that didn't use a tournament for many years. But I have to say, it's strange to me to think the league tournament is notable but the league champions somehow aren't, given that the point of the tournaments is to identify the champion, and tons of sports coverage every year is devoted to league championships. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:38, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ivy League Men's Basketball Tournament is the parent article. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:40, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'm sorry, that just doesn't fit here. Based on the precedents from the Pac-12 and Big Ten noted above, this article should be kept; rename is optional. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
            • It does fit though. Merging this content into the tournament article makes sense. It can easily be divided into two sections: the first is the pre-Ivy League Tournament era of automatic regular season qualifiers, then the second section is the tournament winners. It keeps all historical NCAA Tournament berth teams in context to one another, and more importantly, follows almost every other conference in existence except for the two you cherry-picked. Jrcla2 (talk) 04:01, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
              • Not cherry-picked; these 3 leagues have something in common that explains why these articles are warranted. As noted at Pac-12 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament: "By the 1985–86 season, the Pac-10 was one of three remaining conferences that gave their automatic NCAA tournament bid to the regular season round-robin champion. The other two conferences were the Ivy League and the Big Ten Conference." These are the three leagues that went the longest without a tournament, and for which lists of the regular season champions are particularly significant. For the Ivy League, we currently have zero years of tournament history versus 60 years of regular season championships. Ivy League Men's Basketball Tournament is just not a very descriptive title for that content.
At any rate, it seems we already have a consensus that this is really a merge discussion rather than one about deletion, so I will try not to belabor the subject further. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:28, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say WP:VANITY by WP:SPA but it appears to be a student project (Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UMASS-Amherst/COMM 394RI- Race and Gender in Sitcoms), so instead it seems like the possible failure on the part of the instructor to vet the topic for WP:GNG (through there is still a chance the student is writing a bio of a family member, given the cited source of family member interview...). (PS. I have reviewed other articles created by that course,and they seem high quality; further this article is not listed on the talk page, so this is likely some student side project that didn't get communicated well to the instructor...).

  • Delete as unsourced and only consisting of a few paragraphs, it's not the substance for an encyclopedia, and the one Keep simply says "needs tidying".

  • Delete - no indication of notability. The links listed above are all adverts for upcoming concerts. That is hardly WP:RS. The Czech entry is similar in content and lack of references. The band appears to have a largely local profile. Not notable. Karst (talk) 14:28, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is certainly a sign of notability to have concerts "advertised" in multiple national-scale media, such as Czech Television, Czech Radio or iDNES. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:34, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This one was borderline for me. What finally tipped me to "keep" was learning that, although their more-recent albums are self-released, the first four were issued by German labels and two of them were for what might be considered a major independent (Unique Records, which has been around for more than 30 years). Also, over the band's twenty-year existence they've issued about a dozen singles. I found no evidence that any of their records actually charted, but I was stymied by not knowing how to search the archives for the Czech charts. Taking into account the fairly-well documented fact that they routinely engage in national touring, I think the band does squeak through the guidelines at WP:MUSICBIO. I've added some general sources to the External Links section of the article, but I'll leave it to someone else to add sourced content to the article itself.

What is the measure of notability? I've recently gone to the most elite school in one of the Metropolitan cities in India and saw a copy of a magazine about Mid Brain Activation on the desk of the Academic Director. What's the harm in not deleting the article even if it's not notable? I thought the point of having this article is to educate pseudo-scientific thinkers to the reality of the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yathish1618 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as "fifth-wave feminism". All of the citations in this article are about Caitlin Moran's book How to Be a Woman which satirically argues for a "fifth-wave feminism". There are no serious academic works discussing a fifth wave of feminism. I tried to redirect the article to How to Be a Woman, but was reverted. Kaldari (talk) 06:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to How to Be a Woman § Fifth-wave feminism. It's a term that the subject coined, but has only received marginal coverage; not enough to qualify a standalone article, in my opinion. Merging is a functional WP:ATD-M in this case. North America1000 06:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to How to Be a Woman. Like the others said, it does not seem to have significant coverage. Perhaps most tellingly, there are no hits at all on JSTOR.

  • Redirect to USS Ahrens (DE-575), the ship named after him. He was a hero but is not otherwise notable and brief biographical information is best included in the ship article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:04, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Subject seems to be at least semi-famous for his last words "I guess they didn't know i was a marine", which is even listed at WikiQuote. I am wondering how much coverage this received in newspapers around the time of the subject's death or since, and whether a subject can be notable due to a well-circulated quote anyway (perhaps WP:ONEEVENT shuts that down?). My cursory searches haven't turned up anything I feel is strong enough to go by. I lean to Cullen328's position if nothing else turns up. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 13:54, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I like Cullen328's idea. John from Idegon (talk) 17:13, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A search on newspaper.com reveals that the news of his death made the front page news in papers in Ohio and Kentucky like the Cincinnati Enquirer in October 1942. The subsequent award of the silver star in 1943 was also reported. He seems to be of continuing interest eg. [42] [43] There was also a great deal of reportage in newspapers on 6 August 1967 - the 25th anniversary of the battle. The article doesn't get a lot of page views, but it received nearly 20,000 in one day in 2014 due to a Reddit thread. His article receives more page views that of the USS Ahrens (DE-575). So readers are more interested in him than the ship. Our Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu–Tanambogo article links to it. Seems that lots of books refer to him. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. It didn't dawn on me to look at books (after not seeing much news coverage), but indeed his particular war story keeps popping up, like here, here and here. And his somewhat famous quote appears here, here and here. Seems WP:ONEEVENTish but this individual's war actions and dying words each seem to have their own reverberation. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 21:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - I agree with Stevietheman. The story of the individual's involvement in Guadalcanal, death, and last words seems to have been the subject of sustained coverage. It seems that the best article to cover that has this title. Moving it to The death of Edward H. Arhens or something like that doesn't seem correct. Merging/redirecting to USS Ahrens is a better second choice, especially given the coverage of the individual on the boat's DANFS page, but would really be combining two articles about different things, which isn't really necessary or helpful.

  • Keep. Still receiving coverage in WW2 history books, so it seems to have sustained coverage. While his last exploits, final words, and death is what he is notable for, i think the article title should be simply his name, rather than The Death of Edward Ahrens. Can anyone find his Navy Cross citation?

Which he was, but sometimes WP:NCOLLATH is not clear with the notability guidelines.

    • @GiantSnowman: With all due respect, GNG trumps all SNGs, including NFOOTY. How many times have you and I both !voted to keep articles based on the subject barely meeting NFOOTY? Either an SNG allows for an article to exist (even temporarily to allow more time for a subject to meet GNG), or it does not. I won't argue the viability of an SNG here, but NCOLLATH exists, so that's why I !voted to keep. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 23:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC) @GiantSnowman: My mistake, I read the failed proposal above and believed it was the current NCOLLATH.

Keep - As stated prior, he does meet point 2 of WP:NCOLLATH and, with the lack of consensus on the topic of the viability, it's what I had to work off of when I was creating the article.
