no basis for notability. Very minor officeholder, being the first Libertarian Party candidate to be elected in a statewide office might be notable, but not merely winning a 40% share of the votes, but losing. (presumably originally intended as advocacy for his political carrier, he is no longer living_ DGG ( talk ) 23:10, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete doesn't meet WP:NPOL, no other claim of notability. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:05, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP, clearly notable figure. Very important historical figure in Libertarian politics. according to a Washington Times article by By Matt Volz, he had been involved with the Montana Libertarian Party since 1982.
    Mike Fellows was also the Montana coordinator for the Fully Informed Jury Association [1]. He was also the longest-serving active state chair of the Libertarian Party [2]. Fellows was referred to in the Billings Gazette as the "Godfather of third-party politics in Montana" and for good reason! Fellows made history in 2012. In the 2012 election, Fellows actually made national history by becoming the first Libertarian in national Libertarian Party history to crack that 40 percent barrier in a partisan statewide race. It had never been passed before! He won 43% of the votes which amounts to 185,419 votes and thus carried 27 of the state’s 56 counties in a two-way race for the Supreme Court clerk position. He also was running against the incumbent Democrat Ed Smith. Not only is that no mean feat, that's a history making event! Love or loathe the Libertarian party, it made people right across the United States take a second look at the Libertarian party. And Fellows was responsible for that. His presence and historical winning of 43% of the votes has reverberations that transcend the state of Montana and reverberate anywhere in the United States where a Libertarian party exists.

  • Weak Keep per #3 of NPOL. Not all of the refs are RS-worthy, but most are. Still needs cleanup, though. South Nashua (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - As I see it, we have the high bar of the POLITICIAN special notability guideline in place as a filter against the propaganda of self-serving political wannabes on the make. Note that this is a non-living subject; thus a return to the more lax normal GNG standards may well be appropriate. 17:36, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep, as surprised as I am to find myself agreeing with Karl Twist about pretty much anything. The sourcing here is substantial enough and voluminous enough to satisfy WP:GNG — and for a fringe party that's never actually won a seat in any WP:NPOL-passing legislative body at all, getting the biggest vote total in that party's entire history, and thereby coming the closest that anybody in the party has ever gotten to actually winning an election, is a pretty decent claim to being at least somewhat more notable than the norm for unsuccessful candidates. And yes, since he's dead we don't have to weigh this against the prospect of the article getting misused as a campaign brochure in a future election — that doesn't mean we should automatically drop NPOL for all dead candidates and weigh them solely against a very general standard of "it has sources so it can stay", but in an edge case like this where there's a pretty substantial volume of sourcing and a credible reason why he could be considered more notable than usual, that argument is a valid factor in tipping the balance.

  • Redirect to Texas gubernatorial election, 2018. What is mentioned in the sources other than "he's running" doesn't justify a standalone article. --Kinu t/c 06:49, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and then create a redirect to the election per Kinu. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — and as of today, he's still only a candidate in a party primary, which is even less of a notability claim. At the gubernatorial level, the election campaign frequently does generate more and wider coverage than assembly races do, so he may have a valid claim to passing WP:GNG next year if he wins the primary and becomes the Democratic candidate in the general — but even that wouldn't guarantee him an article in and of itself if it couldn't be substantively written and sourced — but nothing here as of right now already entitles him to have an article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of an actor, whose only listed reference is a single blurb of "local boy makes good" coverage in a hometown newspaper on the occasion of his appearing as a one-off guest character in one television episode -- while there are other roles listed in his filmography, none of them are reliably sourced at all. As always, an actor does not get a free pass over WP:NACTOR just because some (or a lot of) roles are listed — if the base notability claim amounts to "he's been in stuff", then it takes reliable source coverage about his work in some of those roles, and more than just one piece of that, to get him in the door. (Note: despite the fact that this is a second nomination, I'm not willing to speedy this as a recreation of deleted content — the first version was completely unsourced and consisted only of a statement that he existed, so even if notability hasn't been properly demonstrated here the content is still significantly different from the first time.)

Notable ACTRESS, MUST BE THERE. Bhakti Rathod is a notable and award-winning actress who has worked in multiple films and serials. Multiple third-party reliable sources confirm to the notability.--Rashkeqamar (talk) 19:35, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
She has acted only in films and tv series that are not notable, hence fails WP:NACTOR. Coderzombie (talk) 19:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Notable, Bhakti Rathore is mentioned in IMDb
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm9104078/?ref_=tt_cl_t1
Bhakti got Best Theatre actress- Tihai Gujarati Glamour Award 2014. She has acted as a child artist in Hindi serials on Star Plus like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand. She later also acted Sajda Tere Pyaar Mein. she has done many Gujarati film like Aapne To Dhirubhai.--Rashkeqamar (talk) 21:09, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
IMDb is not good enough source for notability. Child actors having minor roles does not establish notability either. The films she has acted in are not notable either. Please read WP:NACTOR before presenting arguments. Coderzombie (talk) 07:50, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: No doubt the subject has received coverage in reliable sources but I’m not sure if the subject has played a major role in tv serial listed in the article within “Television” section so I request to author Rashkeqamar to provide some evidence to support his claim otherwise it can be deleted per WP:TOOSOON. I would however hold judgement and not vote since the nominator asked me to look into this AfD. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 18:10, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: Here is Google search and some articles on The Times of India found talking about the actress. Article 1, Article 2, Article 3 and Article 4.

  • The nominator had tried to merge but it was undone by the article creator. Redirect per nom, until such time as a page move is required to the new name. I believe that's what we have done in cases where amusement parks have been rebranded and rethemed, but if that's not so, please ping me. I see that the nominator is a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disney so I rather think he's on solid ground, here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:16, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Black was a city councillor in Brandon, Manitoba. With only 49,000 residents, it's not big enough for councillors to automatically merit their own articles (as per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES).

Black was also an academic, but I don't believe he meets the criteria for notability set out at WP:PROF. Madg2011 (talk) 17:31, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Passes neither WP:Prof or politician. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. The potential for notability here depends on WP:PROF for his work as a professor, not on WP:NPOL for being a city councillor in a small city, but the academic work is sitting on primary sources — the reliable sources are supporting the city council, his non-winning federal candidacy and a summary of general political views that we don't care about for a politician who hasn't held a notable office. As well, by and large those sources aren't about him in the manner necessary to clear WP:GNG, but merely namecheck his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article whose subject is something or someone else (and/or where he's the author of the content.) None of this is enough to deem him more notable than the norm for city councillors, and none of it supports notability as an academic at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was moved to Draft:Joanna Pickering. Based on the discussion below, and from the discussion with the subject of the article in VRTS ticket # 2017071910019884, there is a consensus at least that the article doesn't belong in main article space yet. Based on the subject's current work on soon-to-be-released shows that don't yet have coverage, this may be a WP:TOOSOON situation. Therefore, due in part to the urgent nature of the agreement from the subject that it would be best to delete the article until the notability issue is settled, I believe the best compromise at this stage is to move the article to draft space so that it can be improved upon release of the subject's upcoming shows. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:12, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG. Sources are too weak to support any notability guideline. Specifically, sources #1, 3, 6, 8, 12 and 17 are interviews with the subject or related people (such as fiancé) and therefore not independent RSes. Source 14 is the subject's own website, not usable as a self-published source. Sources 4 and 13 are blurbs from a minor 25-watt local radio station, as stated on the article talkpage don't contribute much to notability. Many of the other sources are similarly weak: #15-16-18 (reviews of a band she's not in), #19 (name on poster w/o role, also her fiancé's production) - also #21 redirects to same site, and #11 is a Blogspot blog. Sources #7 and #20 fail verification completely: neither mentions the subject. #5 is a dead link impossible to verify but apparently serves to source subject's appearance in an unknown play with unknown writers. The only sources that really work are #2 establishing her undergraduate degree, #9 establishing her role in a single film, and a brief mention of the same role in #10, but this isn't enough for a full BLP. Unsurprisingly, the article was created by a now blocked promotional editor and the subject's personal website has had a link to this Wikipedia article since sometime in 2011, according to Internet Archive, about the same time a New York management agency created it. This is the result: the worst SPS/interview sources are used for the majority of the citations. Huge sections of the article on the CREATIVE's work are completely unsupported despite the management company's socks returning to prop it up. Summary, still not notable same as in the first deletion debate in 2009. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:48, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article is looking a lot better than it did before despamming and cleanup but now that the fixable problems have been cleaned up we are left with the intrinsic ones and they are serious. The movie she is claimed to be notable for doesn't have an article and seems not to be notable. The TV series she is claimed to be producing has no article. The references are really not great for verification but I assume that it is basically true, albeit cast in a light to make it look far more impressive than it really is. If so, she probably works hard but working hard on non-notable projects does not make you notable. And that is where it really falls down. Where is the notability? A very few bit parts in notable films and TV shows. Some larger parts in non-notable films. The odd mention in a fashion magazine. This is no good. Finally there is the claim that she is notable as a "muse". Whatever happens to the rest of the article I'd like to see that cast into the bitbucket on account of it being 2017 CE. Personally, I don't know many women who wouldn't punch somebody who described them as a "muse". Deleting that part would be a kindness. -DanielRigal (talk) 17:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per case set out by nominator - attempts to clean up COI and promotional issues have clearly exposed the lack of notability. Melcous (talk)
  • NOT Delete proper citations needed adding (now added) removing problem of weak sources (more can be added - plenty to find. Regards fiance (which a quick look at his page suggests he is not out to promote her) the sources are in big UK sources/newspapers - scotsman (music) huffington post (film). It is clear she has notable credits if more avant-garde than commercial. All her films are clarified and credited on on imdb credits. There was also proof of awards won in independent film and festival (which is not on page). The notable film - actually has far more press which needs to be added (kubricks) in known sources, as well as two other films. Non primary sources needed adding (added) and further wording needed to be taken out. Further sources are ample - Huffington post etc and major sources as well as avant-garde sources. She is clearly linked to the Creation records scene (via Alan Mcgee) and this is noted as a culturally accepted genre in itself while not mainstream. Previous reading of earlier pages since 2007 suggest she is known for such choices. I found one article noting her a fashion influencer. I agree muse is not a good word, however it is no doubt she has collaborated at this level on projects of not mainstream but cultural significance - including a film at the whitney museum which is leading gallery. Would collaborator be better for her (did a man write the muse part?!) I think we need to keep adding the more relevant sources that are there to be found and actually do the service that is needed. I would be very nervous to delete a female actors body of work, even if early days, when it is clear many sources have not yet been added. There is editing work to be done, and especially having her management confirm as they handle notable actors in first place. I would hesitate not to work on this and make as concise with proper sources than delete. Cannot find anything for the most beautiful gallery- it is clear she was involved but the source does not load - maybe delete that part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dp0071125 (talkcontribs) 01:12, 20 July 2017 (UTC) Dp0071125 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • NOT delete - added valuable press sources from non primary sources and removed sections that did not have this - it is all verifiable in other sites such as imdb and via directors she has clearly worked with outside mainstream. Have left only information with more press sources that are not primary. Tidied up external links, corrected information that did not fit with those articles linking, and took out the filmographies that are on imdb.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.114.163 (talkcontribs) 24.193.114.163 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Completing nomination per WP:AGF on behalf of an IP editor, whose rationale (from their edit summary) was "personal content. not content for encyclopedia.". On the merits, the article was created and exclusively edited by Gillieandmarcart (talk · contribs), which is either a username violation or an indication of autobiography.

  • Delete - The truly reliable sourcing in this article amounts to a single Deutsche Welle article; that single source is insufficient to support the creation of a Wikipedia biography. The other sources are trivial mentions about how he bought a really expensive dinner and how he hired someone as a paid endorser. If more sources are discovered in the future, the article can always be recreated, but this simply isn't suitable for an encyclopedia at this point.

  • Delete. People do not get articles just for announcing their candidacies in future city council elections — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already eligible for an article under some other notability criterion before becoming a candidate, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to qualify for an article for his political activity. But this makes no valid claim of preexisting notability, and is based entirely on primary sources with the exception of a single article in a community weekly newspaper — which is not enough coverage to deem his candidacy a special "more notable than the norm" case, either.

The result was Delete. Consensus is that the article fails notability as described by Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people notable for only one event. Since the subject did not play a significant role in the event and does not appear to be notable outside of the event, this article does not appear to meet the guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Some ongoing. 16 people killed in suicide attack - not sure whether this includes the suicide bomber. Target attack on this police officer, I assume that a Deputy Superintendent of Police is a significant rant because he was being driven in his official car at the time of the attack.

  • Delete per User:Drmies and WP:1E. A sad case, but the best that can be said for this person's notability is that they played a minor role (one of 16 killed) in a routine attack.

  • Keep for now A politically motivated, likely ISIL-inspired double homicide in Austria that have received notable coverage. An unusual and notable incident both because of the nature of the incident and the country it happened, (to 2nd comment) whether it's labelled "terror" or not is not relevant for notability, the inspiration and motive alone is notable in itself (although, according to article, the Austrian Minister of Interior and State Police Director seem to confirm this). (to 1st comment) BLP issues should be cleared up, but that in itself is not any reason for deletion. User2534 (talk) 15:36, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: You can't really clear up the BLP issues. The whole premise of the article is that this was a terrorist murder perpetrated by a named individual. It hasn't been proven to be either. Lard Almighty (talk) 16:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assertions of violation of WP:BLP are nonsense. Nor only because suspect is identified only as "Mohamed H.", but because this is an article about a crime, and we do routinely keep articles about noteworthy recent homicides, and we keep significant crimes from the moment they become notable news stories even though they may take years to reach trial.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:39, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BLP applies if the individual is identifiable, or potentially identifiable, not simply if they are identified. Only if this person does not face trial, would this person cease to be easily identifiable . Pincrete (talk) 06:47, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Chief of Police, Interior Minister, and police investigators have stated plainly that suspect is an ideologically motivated Islamist who murdered an elderly couple in cold blood because he thought that they belonged to a political party that he did not like. It is a major national news story in Austria and has gotten international mews coverage. (I added some English language sources and put the parts of text into intelligible English as per sources.) E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:43, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And, oh, yeah, perp also pledged allegiance to ISIS and to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on his Facebook page "recently". E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:37, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nom apparently failed to run WP:BEFORE check. Doing so would immediately have revealed that Austrian officials investigating this double murder, after investigating suspects social media accounts and computer files, began characterizing it as an Islamist attack, probably lone wolf, by July 6.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • None of that makes the subject any more notable. We do not have content policies that give special treatment to articles about possible IS inspired violence. This seems to be a fairly routine crime not worthy of preserving in an encyclopedia. It belongs in Wikinews.- MrX 18:37, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sources for "allegiance pledges"? The Austrian ones are v.poor and the Eng ones don't say that. Pincrete (talk) 09:42, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This a news event with no lasting notability. It's one murderer of no notability, and speculation that it "may have had Islamist motives" is not enough to justify an article. If, in the future, articles appear that describe the suspect trained in a Daesh terrorist camp or something like that, maybe then it would meet Wikipedia's standards. But as it stands now, WP:NOTNEWS. CrispyGlover (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

* Keep The article has improved a lot since the last time I checked. I would prefer some more changes to be made, like adding the name of the person accused rather than ISIL in the infobox. It was an ISIL-sympathiser, not an ISIL-member.JBergsma1 (talk) 00:02, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • JBergsma1 could you possibly rethink your vote again? The incident is still a WP:NOTNEWS event with no WP:LASTING impact. Gregory usually piles on sources to sway voters who don't always check the content. The article hasn't really improved; in fact, it has a lot of SYNTH and OR (see Pincrete's comment) now to carry on the narrative that this was terrorism without it being confirmed.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • TheGracefulSlick I understand what you mean with this incident having little media attention and notability for an encyclopedic article. In my opinion it is on the edge of being relevant and irrelevant, but since the article has been expanded with a wider background story and more information in general, I'll vote for it be kept.I did check some of the sources, like https://www.thelocal.at/20170706/islamist-motive-suspected-in-murder-of-elderly-couple-in-austria-linz, which mentions an islamist motive. I think, despite little international media coverage, the incident resembles the 2016 Magnanville stabbing a little bit. In that case to french police officers were murdered and in this case two elders who allegedly voted for the FPÖ were murdered. I have to admit that I don't know the exact circumstances in which this incident took place, but I have to agree with you as well on the content being rather unfitting.JBergsma1 (talk) 18:00, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I've changed my opinion once again because new sources from the Austrian authorities are saying that there wasn't terrorism involved. As there was no terrorist motive, this incident becomes irrelevant for an encyclopedic article. The newspaper 'The Local', which is used in the article, mentions: We currently don't believe that it was an IS-motivated murder or terror attack.JBergsma1 (talk) 18:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your close look at the coverage. I struck your previous vote so editors do not think you voted twice.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, at first I didn't read the whole source. Better next time.JBergsma1 (talk) 23:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per MrX: "Article about a murder, written to sound like a terrorist attack. Fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:10YT" . Claims above that the Austrian authorities are treating this as 'terrorist' are false: the "same police spokesman said: "the case was being treated as a "double murder" and not a jihadist killing ... We currently don't believe that it was an IS-motivated murder or terror attack," Furtner said" this is the source which is being relied on to establish an ISIS connection. A lot of synth or OR is required to bypass such an explicit rebuttal. Pincrete (talk) 06:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Regardless of whether this is a terror attack or not (right now it is being investigated as the latter), should be irrelevant to the vote rationales on both sides of the discussion. Where is the WP:LASTING impact of the incident? If the answer is just "...well there will be a trial" then you haven't found a good reason to keep this article. Two people were murdered; it is a tragic occurrence, something the news loves to cover, but that does not mean it is suitable for the encyclopedia.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 07:43, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • LASTING will lie in the fact that this is being describes as the first Islamist attack in Austria.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:05, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per JBergsma1' arguments Zezen (talk) 11:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note That the murder occurred in June, however, national and international coverage followed the 6 July revelation that the killer had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State gNews search in German [8], French: [9].
  • First "If confirmed, Friday's killings in the northern city of Linz -- in which an 85-year-old woman's throat was slit and her 87-year-old husband was stabbed and beaten to death -- would be the first Islamist attack in Austria, which had so far avoided the jihadist assaults seen elsewhere in Europe." [10].E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:56, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see a big if at the beginning of this statement. As in, you are assuming that this is a terror attack without it being confirmed. Why don't you respond to Pincrete's comment above? A lot of synth (again) is being used by you to create a narrative of terrorism.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not SYNTH. The Interior Minister and police investigators have stated that perp pledged allegiance to ISIS before murdering the elderly couple for ideological reasons. Killer now in custody, there will be a trial. Slick, I know that you WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT, but national and international press are covering the story because of the jihadist stuff all over his computer and social media accounts, and because he pledged allegiance to ISIS. Whey do you insist on WP:RAPID rather than WP:PRESERVE?E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So what? Are we supposed to create articles for every murder where the alleged motive as something new in a particular country, or does this only apply to the specter of radical Islamism?- MrX 17:57, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The interior Minister's statements precede the police statement, but even if they didn't, it does not say what you claim, "perp pledged allegiance to .. no one" according to the sources. "Is clearly a radicalized Muslim" does not equal "was an Islamist attack" any more than "committed murder and 'liked' D Trump" = "is a far-right terrorist", pure synth. The possible ideological/political motive given by police is hatred of the far-right party, not support for ISIS. BTW the accused appears to have handed himself in to police, also probably a first for a terrorist! Pincrete (talk) 09:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- note "If confirmed, Friday's killings..." -- let's wait until this is confirmed, and then maybe create an article. For now this is a crime of no encyclopedic relevance just yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:06, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Read the linked articles; "If confirmed" refers to the question of whether or not the govt. of Austria will choose to deem this as a terrorist attack. Governments have political and other considerations, but they is separate from the fact that the international press has already covered this incident as a major national and international news story because 1.) perp knew his victims - who had been kind to him and had even lent him money - and attacked them because he disliked their politics, 2.) his social media and computer were filled with violent jihad, and, 3.) perp pledged alliegiance to ISIS and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:52, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that it is bad from for editors iVoting delete to delete pertinent information sourced to Le Parisien and Agence France Presse, and as well as to Austrian sources, but especially so with an edit that reads: " rm mindless speculation."E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:52, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Note - I apologize for the snotty edit summary, but I stand by my edit (which you have already reverted, contrary to WP:BRD). Wikipedia is WP:NOTSPECULATION. We should not amplify speculation as if trying to convince readers that a fairly minor event is highly significant.- MrX 21:22, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- not everything published in the paper belongs in the encyclopedia, and this event does not belong yet, per available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Re "not everything published etc." ..... Especially when what Le Parisien actually says is not what is claimed, what it says is: The case is however treated as a double murder and not as an Islamist attack. "As things stand, we do not think it is a terrorist attack or a murder motivated by the Islamic state," said police spokesman David Furtner . "It seems that the man was radicalized, but there were no third parties who ordered him to commit these murders, and the IS did not claim responsibility for them." ..... Two other sources were speculations that preceded police statements and I couldn't be bothered to check AFP when other sources were being so mis-used. Pincrete (talk) 07:03, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: On the contrary, the organization title suffers from the use of generic terms, and recent changes have removed potentially useful information. These do not make the article suitable for deletion. The deletion proposal should be withdrawn. Current page status is not necessarily an indication of notability per WP:CONTN and time would be better spent improving the page. Tailored searches produce good independent sources. A search for the outgoing president Craig Wallace and "PWDA" returns 2230 Google search results alone, including national media, a federal Parliamentary Library Lecture, and a statement read to Parliament on the occasion of his resignation.[1] Trankuility (talk) 09:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Go through the Talk page, this page is filled with Promotion nonsense. no doubt written by some Paid editor. The aim is to make this No-consensus and keep the article. Not even a single article about this person found where notable media covered him, all about the promotion of his work, similar to paid editing made by wikipedia contributors. Complete misuse of encyclopedia. This person is non notable for Wiki standards, article is written like some promotional profile. Wiki is not social media to promote oneself. There would be thousands people in the world like him. Ca not compromise the credibility of wikipedia on this ground. book can be best selling but does not make a person Encyclopedic notable as it stands for.

Writing for various magazines is not enough either, no matter how prestigious the magazine. Most of the refs in the article are mere announcement of lectures. The two Irish newspaer articles written above are a combination of notices and promotion.

  • Keep I think this society is a well-known society, not only within Cambridge but also within the international wine trade. This society gave rise to a number of famous alumni who got into wine related career after frequenting it. Notably Hugh Johnson, famous for being a wine writer said he "began his lifelong passion for wine as a member of The Wine and Food Society at Cambridge University". David Peppercorn, also a wine writer, was the president of this society in 1952 and decided to start a career in wine writing instead of law (he was reading law at Cambridge) after frequenting the wine society. A number of books and articles are mentionning the society whose members are competing in international blind wine tasting competitions around the world. Part of the history of this wine society along with the history of the Oxford University Wine Society has been documented in Reds, Whites & Varsity Blues, edited by Jennifer Segal and cited in this article. Some of the events organised by the society have been relayed in the press such as the 350th anniversary of Samuel Pepys mention of Chateau Haut-Brion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugop777 (talkcontribs) 00:02, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:EVENT. This incident did not receive any significant lasting coverage. The only news coverage that the incident received in reliable sources was in passing. The article states that an edited version of the video of Wojtyla's death has been shown at many Operation Lifesaver events, but I was unable to find any reliable source to support this. Of the sources currently in the article, the first is a family death notice, which does not help establish notability. The second is Find a Grave, which is not a reliable source. The third is a news article in The Chicago Tribune, which is a reliable source, but their coverage of the incident is routine and in passing. The fourth reference is LiveLeak, which is not a reliable source. Tdl1060 (talk) 07:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep this is a notable event in the history of Pedestrian railroad safety in the United States. The article is very helpful for people to quickly access what happened in the widely shared video. This event happened before the widespread use of internet sources. It is clear based on forums that many people saw this video at Operation lifesaver events. --JumpLike23 (talk) 04:16, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No sources and no ghits for either the diocese or Simonpierre Nnolumfu, the current incumbent. This is not a conventional diocese within the Catholic hierarchy but an "Autocephalous Catholic jurisdiction" (quoting from article). The creating editor has been repeatedly advised to add references to their articles, but has not done so.

  • Delete as a probable hoax. This is an interesting one. The Roman Catholic Church (as far as I know) does not provide any public listing of dioceses or sees. A frequently-used reference for Wikipedia's articles about dioceses (for example, List of Catholic dioceses in Great Britain) is the website GCatholic.org, which is (apparently) a comprehensive and frequently updated list of Catholic Church bodies and institutions. GCatholic does not include Highveld in its list of South African dioceses, nor does it list Highveld as a titular see.
I am interested in this topic but not an expert, and I'm not saying that GCatholic would hold the same weight as an official Church record, if one could be found. But combine this with the lack of sources uncovered elsewhere and I would argue that this article fails the most elementary tests of WP:Verifiability. A Traintalk 10:14, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A person qualifies for a Wikipedia article when she's the subject of reliable source coverage. "Fashion Blog" is a blog, not a media outlet, so it can't cover off notability, and the only sources present in the article are a directory of her own contributions to another blog, her own primary source website about herself, and a local alt-weekly's "Best Local Stuff" reader poll — which means the only source that's independent of her is a blurb. A person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article by self-publishing her own web presence; she qualifies for an article when she's been given enough attention by media independent of her to pass WP:GNG, but none of the sourcing present here shows anything of the sort whatsoever. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better — but this, as written, isn't even beginning to show the type, let alone the volume, of sourcing required.

  • Keep or Merge into 2019 Winter Universiade with possibility of building out as competition nears and more info becomes available. A quick google search does show there's verifiable articles about the event. It is the next Winter Universiade so does fall in line with conventions for large-scale international sporting events, creating the article a few years in advance. This does not fail WP:CRYSTAL which explicitly states that future events can be included on Wikipedia if they are notable and almost certain to take place. --Bhockey10 (talk) 23:14, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to 2019 Winter Universiade until information other than the venues is available. Also, a list of venues should be added to the main article as per other multi-sport competitions. If venues are not added to the main article for whatever reason, then keep this as it will have information not available in the main article. But that info should be in the main article, so ideally add it and redirect for now. Smartyllama (talk) 13:12, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reason behind this Page[edit]

Parachinar is a Shiite majority area and since 2007 there are frequent bomb explosions in a small area which need attention. Since 2007, the bomb explosions in Parachinar started because the people of here fought against the Taliban, ( War against Taliban in Parachinar )and Taliban & its allies are now bombed to take revenge. Social media regarding Parachinar is full of propaganda, most of these propaganda may cause more explosions in future, so it is important to tell the world, the facts. Haider4Pak (talk) 00:30, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - That's all fine and good, but per WP:SOAP, wikipedia is not a place for advocacy, regardless of the worthiness of the cause. Reporting reliably sourced information is fine, but not issue advocacy, and as it stands the entire "Reason behind the attacks" section is sourced only to a non-reliable source, and several of the other references go to web forums or facebook, which also aren't exactly reliable. Whether the article is kept or merged, the sourcing needs to be improved.PohranicniStraze (talk) 14:25, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This is kind of sad. She was a footballer who was captain of an established woman's team (Kumamoto Renaissance FC) before women's football took off in Japan. She died in the 3.11 disaster at the young age of 31. There is no doubt she existed and played for the team (here is the team announcement of her death). What I can't find is any record that she played for the national team. The Japanese wikipedia article does not mention it (ja:佐藤恵利子), nor does the team announcement. The reference in the English article to her being on the national team in 2008 refers to the wrong Eriko Sato (佐藤衣里子 not 佐藤恵利子--see [18] and [19]). All else on the net is just from blogs.

Non-notable state-level politician, fails WP:POLITICIAN. Medina has run for state office twice, losing both times. According to the article, she has never held public office.

  • Delete. The only discernible claim of notability here is being a non-winning candidate in party primaries, which is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL, but the referencing is 9/13 dependent on primary sources rather than reliable ones — and of the four citations that are to reliable sources, one of them is an unnecessary reduplication of one of the other three. But three reliable sources isn't enough reliable sources to make a person notable just for being a non-winning candidate for political office, because every non-winning candidate for political office could always show three pieces of media coverage.

Article is one year old, and has no sourced content.

The article doesn't even have the right birth name, and I can't correct/edit it because I have a COI. Me, myself, I recently found my name on the unclaimed royalties section of AFM & SAGAFTRA. I received a six-figure check, all because I moved a couple times, some checks were sent to the old addresses and never cashed. I do not have an article.
Do you think that your "client" is at that level? His career, as of today (not what could be in the future), is considered encyclopedic, while the 3 mentioned above are not? This is an encyclopedia. It is not a celebrity fansite. But, again, you have a COI, you should not be the one creating, editing, or debating the article. Kellymoat (talk) 15:11, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why does Wikipedia include these European and North American companies and exclude larger Chinese companies? I do not understand the reasoning for that, although maybe some Wikipedians have played with these smaller North American and European brands and thus have emotional affinity to them and that personal connection is lacking from this Chinese family of brands?

Also, this is not a trademark dispute as but rather an intellectual property dispute, Lepin took the full designs of the Lego sets in question. --Nipnop88 (talk) 12:18, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lastly the reason I created this article is that many people were confused about who was manufacturing Lepin and Xingbao. Some people were saying it was Meizi Model. see here, ". In a post on Facebook, there are images of a company called Xingbao (星堡) who is owned by Meizi Model (美致模型), which is the same company that owns LEPIN" But the manufacturer is actually Loongon. This is why Wikipedia exists - to clarify questions that confuse me and provide a reference so that when people talk about the multitude of Chinese brands of Lego clones they can get correct answers. Already someone is covertly editing the Loongon page to remove mentions of Xingbao here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guangdong_Loongon&diff=prev&oldid=788562340 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guangdong_Loongon&type=revision&diff=788562566&oldid=788562502 -- maybe this person could clarify the relationships between these subbrands? --Nipnop88 (talk) 12:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for your input. What would increase the notability?

We have a Linkedin site, would this help linking it to Wikipedia? --Duc1199 (talk) 15:02, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Duc1199, see WP:GNG and WP:CORP - particularly WP:CORPDEPTH. An organisation requires multiple in-depth sources which are completely independent of the company in question. Whether other companies have articles is irrelevant to whether this one is notable, but the ones you linked have independent sources listed and one is a Fortune 500 company. Combimac currently has far too few sources to support claims of notability, as the only ones provided are to a local paper covering a minor industrial dispute 45 years ago. Also, by use of the pronoun 'we' I assume you are editing while being connected to the company.

  • Thanks for the feed back and the link WP:CORP en WP:CORDEPTH. The information is clear and understood. We (a group of people gathering the information) just started and are trying to get adjusted with the do and don"ts on this platform. We will try to amend the information in line with the guidelines on organizations and companies. By the way: the dispute was not minor as it lasted more than 6 months and it became the longest in Dutch history. The union said they would put the company out of business and so they did. The attitude of the unions changed afterwards, as instead of saving jobs these were destroyed. The University of Groningen still provides the example as teaching material on unions. It became regular national news in the papers and television and the company was re-erected with help of the former Prime Minister.

The biggest problem with this article is that it does not define its subject, "bowel management". "Bowel management" might mean "the practices which encourage regular bowel movements". However, this article does not take that perspective. Instead, it has some information about unusual treatments for unusual medical conditions, as for people who use daily enemas for all their bowel movements. I think this is mostly about treating fecal incontinence and could redirect to there.

The first two citations from emedicine do not have information on this general subject. The other citations are for very specific medical conditions.

Some information here might be salvaged to merge to other articles, but I think this article is too incoherent to persist. If anyone wishes to keep this topic, I would like to see the subject defined and information not matching that subject deleted. Thoughts from others?

The result was Keep and moved to Al-Dhira'. There's some question here about whether the topic is notable at all, but the bigger issue seems to be with the name. Arabic names that get transliterated into English tend to have variable spellings (that's actually true of any pair of languages, not just Arabic to English), but from what I see here, most people think Al Dhira' is a better choice.

I'm leaving a redirect behind, if for no other reason than to keep the hat-note in Alderaan from going red.

  • Keep The article is currently fairly poor, but there are references to be found. Here's one [23] where entries 2 and 3 on the linked page 559 extensively refer to al-dhira' . Here's another book [24] that calls it "the Dhirá'án", and cites Lane's Arabic Lexicon, page 962. This one [25] calls it "Aldryan", as well, citing the Lexicon again. On the current only reference at the Wikipedia page, it says "Al Dhira' ", the plural of which is (at least in some transliterations) Alderaan.

    • Would you support a Move to Al-Dhira' or some other name? --Hameltion (speak, spoken) 20:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is my basic issue. Lots of references for all sorts of Arabic names, but not a single source that says any of them decline or transliterate into Alderaan. I don't know if they are equivalent to Alderaan or not, but without a source it seems a step too far for Wikipedia to say they do. A move to one of the names that is actually given in a source would be fine. Allen, the only source currently in the article, is considered a (somewhat antiquated) bible in this respect, so whatever it says would work. Note that what the article currently says bears little relation to what Allen says. The original creator of the article did want to make the connection to Star Wars, but the OR about that is long gone. Lithopsian (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • If it's an alternative name for the two brightest stars in Canis Minor and two from Gemini (constellation), then judging by the mentions already at Canis Minor like "asterism Shuiwei, which literally means "water level". Combined with additional stars in Gemini, Shuiwei represented an official" and "The Aztec calendar was related to their cosmology. The stars of Canis Minor were incorporated along with some stars of Orion and Gemini into an asterism associated with the day called "Water".", it probably belongs at Canis Minor. Mr. Magoo (talk) 20:24, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. NOTE: sources that are about the topic support its notability, even if they do not use the name that we use for our article. If there are lots of sources with Arabic names, or with the name Al-Dhira, or others, and these are all clearly about the same topic then we keep the article. The issue of none of the sources using the name we do is a possible justification for a move request but not for deletion. Edit: Note that I would support a merge to Canis Minor. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 04:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no sources that use this name, and this is an obscure term for a constellation, not an astronomical object.

  • Keep as certainly enough. Rpclod noted the need of independent substance sources and they have now been availably shown. SwisterTwister talk 23:25, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@SwisterTwister: Is a review of a book somebody has written, or quoting that book, evidence of notability of the author? I don't believe it is. PeterTheFourth (talk) 01:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. @PeterTheFourth: One review by itself is not enough for notability. Multiple reviews, especially in high-profile publications and of multiple books, are evidence of notability per WP:AUTHOR #3 ("subject...of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" and 4c ("significant critical attention"), as well as likely providing the in-depth coverage needed for WP:GNG. Now, in the case of the subject,
    • The Big Scrum was reviewed in the NYT [27], National Review [28], Fox News [29], Publishers Weekly [30], among other sources.
    • The First Assassin didn't have any noteworthy reviews that I found
    • A Gift of Freedom had an academic-journal review [31] but nothing mainstream that I found
    • Our Oldest Enemy was in the NYT again [32], Foreign Affairs [33], Publishers Weekly [34], National Review [35], among others.
    • The Unmaking Of Americans was reviewed by Foreign Affairs [36], Publishers Weekly [37], and Kirkus Reviews [38] among others.
So with three solid hits, I think he clearly passes WP:AUTHOR. The other two lesser-known books don't help, but they don't hurt either (if a subject is notable for something, it doesn't matter that they're not notable for something else). —David Eppstein (talk) 05:01, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"That a book as shoddy and biased as this one should be published by a reputable press is eminently regrettable." Ouch. Still, this does establish that he's an author of sorts. PeterTheFourth (talk) 05:23, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Well, than I would re-vote to keep it. :) After thoroughtly re-reading the article, I don't see anything especially promotional, it's more of an introduction and a pretty neutral description of what they do at that camp. Actually, it's way less biased that many religious and religious activities-related articles. If it's guilty of something, it's guilty of being a too-plain explanation of the activity. But camp Quest is somehow notable and the article is pretty fair and properly referenced. MaeseLeon (talk) 19:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The referencing here is far too strongly tied to primary sources and blogs, with no evidence of reliable source coverage in media shown at all. Neither WP:NMUSIC (for his work as a musician) nor WP:CREATIVE (for his work in radio) hands a person an automatic notability freebie just because he exists — he needs to actually achieve something that constitutes a claim of notability, and even more importantly that has to be supported by reliable sources and not just by his own PR materials. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it, but literally nothing here is enough to get him a Wikipedia article today.

      The book notes:

      Two purchases in the late 2000s demonstrate [Macrovision]'s changing agenda and broad approach to information management: the All Media Guide in 2007 and Gemstar-TV Guide in 2008. The All Media Guide (AMG) started off as the brainchild of Michael Erlewine, an eccentric personality who developed a passion for music and astrology in the 1960s. After founding a company that made software for astrological charts in 1977, Erlewine began exploring ideas about music guides and metadata in the early 1990s, just as the CD format was taking hold in the recorded music industry. Frustrated by bad labeling on CDs, he endeavored to create a database of musical recordings that would provide accurate information as well as critical evaluations. Thus AMG was originally founded as the All Music Guide in 1991 and the company has its makeshift headquarters in Big Rapids, Michigan.

      AMG expanded in scope and size over the course of the decade. In 1994, the company began producing the All Movie Guide, which largely resembled other movie guides of the era and also put a version on the Internet. They even coordinated with the editors of VideoHound, across the state in Detroit, on a volume of screen biographies. In 1998, the company added the All Game Guide to its list of publications/websites, putting it squarely in the business of multimedia reviews. The company relocated to Ann Arbor in 1999, home to the University of Michigan, hoping to find a larger pool of educated pop culture fans for its labor force. AMG continued to expand its operations in the 2000s, primarily moving into media recognition and metadata licensing. It unveiled the LASSO media recognition software in 2006, which enables different media devices to reconigze the exact CD or DVD that is inserted into them. For the consumer, this means that when you enter "Abbey Road" or Pulp Fiction (1994) into a hardware device, the device recognizes it as that particular disc, as if by magic. In this respect, AMG facilitated the much-hyped technological convergence of the 2000s by allowing hardware devices to reconigze software. Not only did AMG license this capability to a number of different electronics manufacturers, but it also expanded the licensing of its review material. As of 2007, AMG licensed material to over 25,000 different online and brick-and-mortar retail outlets. It counted AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and the New York Times among its online customers and Amazon, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, and Blockbuster Video among its retail customers. Morever, various parts of the AMG database were licensed by the radio giant Clear Channel and a range of computer-based media players, including iTunes, MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, and Napster.

      Thus by the time Macrovision bought AMG in 2007, both companies had large operations in the realm of entertainment metadata, including software protection, media recognition, and content reviews. ...

      The article notes:

      Here, in this soulless part of town, sits a soulless-looking edifice that appears to be some sort of light industrial complex. But this, the world headquarters of Internet giant All Media Guide, is more like the most gargantuan reliquary of pop culture imaginable.

      Inside that 32,000-square-foot building, a staff of 150 well-trained media and technology geeks set about the task of obsessively cataloging every piece of music, every movie and every video game ever produced. It seems like a Sisyphean task, but after 15 years, the company has amassed an amount of data that's difficult to describe. Consider the following:

      Deep within the bowels of AMG headquarters is a locked-down room that would make any record geek's knees go weak. Inside that room is the AMG archive. It's 7,000 square feet of cabinets, with boxes stacked on top of cabinets. A whiteboard keeps a running tally: as of Jan. 12, the archive was home to 461,550 albums (multi-disc sets count as one album), 75,259 DVDs and 3,477 games.

      ...

      And those are just the physical items AMG owns. The growing database at the moment holds information on more than 8.5 million songs and 900,000 individual albums. If an individual song clocks in at three minutes, it would take 25.5 million minutes to listen to all of those songs — and that computation ignores longer tunes like "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and the works of Fela Kuti.

      The company compiles formal data like artist names and titles as well as descriptive content about genre and style. It adds bylined reviews, biographies and ratings, as well as data about similar products and influences.

      It's a project born of obsession — a wacky idea from the mind of estranged founder Michael Erlewine. And now, this compulsive cataloging of content is paying off for AMG. What at one time must have seemed to many as pointless fetishism is becoming increasingly useful, given the increasing array of digital doodads consumers can use to store and play content.

      This is a 4,000-word profile of the company.

      The article notes:

      The recent boost in music bought - versus pirated - over the Internet has given a lift to Pittsfield Township-based All Media Guide, which is now under new ownership - its own.

      AMG has built up a long list of customers, such as retailers Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Inc., which purchase its content, including voluminous information on thousands of artists, record reviews and other data. Its music division is called All Music Guide, but the company also operates All Movie Guide and All Game Guide, which review and provide information about current and past movies and video games.

      AMG has seen rapid growth recently and this year began supplying its data to Apple Computer's iTunes Music store and the newly minted Napster, which was reborn from an embattled peer-to-peer sharing system to a for-fee music service with the blessing of the recording industry.

      The article notes:

      From the outside, the All Media Guide building on the outskirts of Ann Arbor is the antithesis of the funky, incense-and-clutter vibe of a record store. It screams "business park," the kind of concrete, asphalt, and brick background where commerce takes place with efficient anonymity.

      ...

      Pop a CD into a computer that's hooked up to the Internet and chances are that the album information that comes up on your computer - everything from song titles to album art and reviews - comes from Allmusic.com, which is AMG's signature product. Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and RealPlayer all use their data base, which contains millions of songs.

      The massive collection of information, essentially an online encyclopedia, has become a go-to site for everyone from corporate giants like Microsoft's Windows to classical music disc jockeys preparing their shows. With its consumer-oriented reviews, detailed discographies, and biographies it's also a bottomless resource of information and trivia for any kind of music fan, whether it's a Beatles completist or someone trying to find out which Outkast disc they should buy their niece.

      ...

      AMG in its current form - with its 150 employees, and massive database of music, movies, and games - is a marriage of cutting-edge technology and old-school curating and cataloging work. Born in the early '90s at the dawn of the compact disc age, the company was formed in a house in Big Rapids, Mich., by a bunch of guys who shared one thing in common: a passion for music.

      The founder was Michael Erlewine, who played in bands throughout Michigan - including one that featured Iggy Pop - and had an intense interest in astrology and music.

      ...

      Macrovision Corp. out of Santa Clara, Calif., announced last week that it plans to purchase All Media Guide for $82 million in an effort to utilize the Ann Arbor company's massive data base in the firm's growing technology business.

      The article notes:

      AMG's All-Music Guide won leading search engine Yahoo's award this year for best music reference site on the Web.

      ...

      AMG, the nucleus of the Store 24 concept, was founded by Michael Erlewine, a musician/computer programmer who once traveled with Bob Dylan, and Vladimir Bogdanov, a database expert. They were soon joined by data engineer Chris Woodstra, who is now editor in chief of AMG.

      In addition to the All-Music Guide, the AMG consumer directories include the All-Movie Guide and the All-Game Guide, which will be available to any AEC retailer in the future, and the soon-to-be-launched All-Book Guide.

      Here is a second article from the same issue of Billboard:

        The article notes:

        An integral component of AEC's online plans is All Media Guide (AMG), a database company based in Big Rapids, Mich., formerly known as Matrix, which will be moved to Ann Arbor, Mich. That company's products include the All-Music Guide, the All-Movie Guide, the soon-to-be-marketed All Games Guide, and the soon-to-be launched All-Book Guide. The All-Music Guide, which was recently named the best music reference guide on the Internet by Yahoo!, serves as the heart of the Store 24 program, and Weisman expects it to play a growing role as the Internet becomes an important selling tool.

    6. Nosowitz, Dan (2015-01-30). "The Story of AllMusic, Which Predates the World Wide Web". Vice. Retrieved 2017-07-22.

      The article notes:

      And AllMusic, formerly known as All Music Guide or AMG, seeks to do the same for music.

      Every band, every artist, in every genre, gets a biography. Every album, single, EP, and live album that gets a release, no matter how obscure, is catalogued, and AllMusic tries its damndest to review them all, too. AllMusic has quietly become the kind of resource that's so intrinsic to the internet that it's hard to imagine the internet without it.

      That's partly that's because the internet has never really existed without it. AllMusic predates the World Wide Web, having been founded in 1991 in Big Rapids, Michigan by one exceedingly interesting guy: Michael Erlewine.

      ...

      Erlewine founded All Music Guide in 1990, releasing the first All Music Guide book, at a whopping 1,200 pages in 1991, along with a CD-ROM. But the real revolution of All Music Guide was to create a database, on computers, that could be accessed by anyone, that included literally every recording in history. It was an insane project, one that may not even technically be possible, but Erlewine and his team of freelance writers attempted to do just that. The first version was available on Gopher pages, Gopher being kind of a precursor to the World Wide Web, basically a file system. It was moved to the World Wide Web as soon as it became clear that that was the future.

      ...

      Today it is a backbone of the artistic internet. Every music critic and, I'd say, almost every music fan visits AllMusic regularly. Erlewine is no longer directly involved with AllMusic, the company having been sold a few times since the early 2000s.

      In 2013, Rovi spun off AllMusic and its sister sites, including All Movie Guide, which are now owned by All Media Network. The first president of All Media Network was a former Rovi employee, and Rovi continues to license AllMusic's data to various sites and services. As a matter of fact, Rovi continues to maintain the database, and the various reviewers, like Erlewine's nephew, are employed by Rovi. All Media Network handles the daily editorial content, like interviews, blog posts, and also handles the design of the site.

      The article notes:

      AMG stands for All-Media Guide, too, which includes an All-Movie Guide a year behind the music wing in scope, a fairly new games division, and plans for books and other collectibles. The funding comes from Alliance Entertainment, Inc., a music distributor Erlewine sold out to a couple of years back. But AMG is already a proven money earner. It’s about “relating value.” Yes, most people consume the same records and books. More and more, though, we demand that the rest be available as well— so some grunt has to do the inputting that lets you link everything to everything else. It’s easier to sell records than keep track of them; music chains and online retail sites are compelled to purchase from AMG some mix of formal data, ratings, reviews, descriptive categories, biographies, song credits, album-performer associations, and general reference, available in monthly and weekly updates. “Unlike some Internet companies that are mostly talk and no profit,” Erlewine declares, “our assets are solid. Things that we’ve built, like the databases, are here to stay.”

      The article notes:

      When surfing the Web, sometimes you just have to sit back and admire a site that's well organized and jammed full of information.

      Such a site is the All Media Guide, which covers music, movies and video games. For some reason, you have to start at www.allmusic.com since there's no address for the guide's main page. It's a good place to start. The site has a comprehensive list of essays and music reviews by more than 200 music reviewers from magazines like Rolling Stone and Billboard. The information is broken down by genre and style of music and you can find almost any album or artist you're interested in.

      The article notes:

      The All-Music Guide has long been one of the best resources (both online and in a series of terrific books) for learning more about musicians of all kinds and the music they've created.

      The All-Game Guide is similar in its ambitious reach, with information broken down by a dozen kinds of game genres and nearly 50 platforms, stretching all the way back to the very earliest, now long-dead consoles (Pong, anyone?). You can search by company (Electronic Arts, unsurprisingly, generates a massive list), by character and much more.

      The site also has reviews, codes and cheats, difficulty ratings and more for specific games. Its creators still have some substantial work to do because many games lack much or any information, and areas like a guide to notable video-gaming leaders haven't yet been implemented.

      But the folks behind the All-Music Guide (the general home page has been cannily renamed the All-Media Guide to include sister sites for movies and classical music) built their prodigious database of information by relying on the qualitative input of thousands of fans.

      As with the All-Music Guide, a player will be able to provide reviews and other information that will help shape how the game is rated, and give other players a sense of its gameplay.

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

  • Delete. A population of 10K is not large enough to hand a mayor an automatic presumption of notability just because she exists. An article could still become acceptable if she could be sourced over the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our notability criteria for local officeholders, but one piece of media coverage (all that's been shown here) isn't enough to get over that bar.

  • Redirect to Oliver Goldsmith (company). Only seeing one good reference for notability here (Guardian). one of the others probably should be deleted, and the writer of the other one is clearly connected to the artist as a personal friend. Should probably merge the Guardian ref into Oliver Goldsmith (company) with a sentence or short paragraph about here there. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 04:31, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD (removed with no rationale). There is only minimal coverage of this upcoming film, which the one source provided indicates isn't meant to be released until the end of the year, making this clearly TOOSOON for an article. While the cast members listed are notable, notability isn't inherited. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. It may be worth mentioning that there's certainly no prejudice towards the recreation of this article if and when the production is further along and/or the coverage justifies it. As the facts on the ground change, an article subject can always become notable. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 04:42, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response: with filming confirmed and production having suitable coverage, WP:NFF is met and the film topic is proven notable, thank you.Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:27, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
An opinion you've expressed elsewhere, yes. This comment was written earlier in the piece, and responded to what appeared to be a concern at that time. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:01, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, but IF their inclusion brings press coverage, then notability is brought forward too. Schmidt, Michael Q. 20:52, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If there's coverage, and that coverage satisfies either NFILM or GNG, then it doesn't matter what prompted the coverage. No disagreement there. My point is that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, and the article doesn't get a free pass simply because a phalanx of performers with notability are in it. The film needs to be notable itself, no?

  • I'm still on the fence too, although she has coverage in American Artist Drawing Magazine, an article in NY-based Epoch Times (is that a WP:RS?), and lots of local press, so she's got some coverage outside southern California as well as locally. The article as originally created was very promotional. Note that the NY Times article cited (twice!) is only a brief mention and doesn't contribute to notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:43, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, there is a good amount of coverage of her art, especially in the Malibu Times. Her work is possibly more notable than her but if that's the case then the artist goes along with it as well. Karl Twist (talk) 12:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Blogs are not reliable sources, even for themselves. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:34, 4 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep - I was just about to vote delete based on the thin article and poor outdated sourcing, but on a hunch went to their site. Seems very slick to call just a blog. Did a little more digging and found more coverage, and improved the article. Apparently this is a very notable digital publication in the design world, and many well known design schools are heavily involved in submitting work for Core77's Design Awards program - so it must be prestigious. I don't want to canvas and taint the already fragile AfD process, but I think others who focus on editing design articles could speak better to this site's notability.

      The book notes:

      In 1995, as students in the Industrial Design graduate program at Pratt Institute, Stuart Constantine and Eric Ludlum presented Core77 as their thesis: embracing the nascent medium of websites and interface design to consolidate information and resources about their future profession. From the outset, Core77 attracted a wide and loyal following that avidly contributed articles, resources, job openings, and more, and fueled its growth to become a de facto destination for industrial designers. Allan Chochinov joined in 2000 as a partner and has overseen the consistent development of Core77's editorial voice and community, including a popular blog, feature articles, special publications, and offline events. Found in its accompanying forums is the 1 Hour Design Challenge, where readers are invited to come up with concepts and sketches for things like cycling shoes or bettering the rainshower experience. Despite a focus on industrial designs, much of its content is relevant to any creative endeavor.

      The book notes:

      Media partners have already aggregated communities of interest—groups of people who are thinking and talking about specific issues. For example, Core77 is a resource for the design community that covers industry-related news, such as award-winning designs and emerging thinking. They regularly discuss design challenges and introduce their community to contests. And they are a resource for designers in other ways, such as hosting their portfolios and connecting them with new job opportunities.

      But an organization like Core77 can do more than directly support recruiting. Their brand is well respected; therefore, an opportunity to have one's work featured in their selective news coverage is highly desirable. In this way, Core77 lends a hand in making good on the promise of attention. They have repeatedly demonstrated that they will promote the best designs from crowdstorming challenges; these selections represent the "content" that their community wants to see, while giving the winning designers the visibility and attention they desire.

      Core77 is just one specialty media partner. Nowadays, specialty communities cover everything from sustainable energy and resource management to data visualization. Having these media partners as part of a crowdstorming coalition can be essential to attracting the right participants.

      The book notes:

      The folks behind Core77 were industrial design students who decided that they needed an online forum where like minds could gather, debate, and share resources. They started Core77 in 1995 right out of school and have succeeded in building one of the leading design Web sites from the ground up. They had no funding beyond a small grant from the university, but they did have enthusiasm. Over time, what at first seemed like an obstacle—the fact that they didn't have the backing of an organization or company—has turned out to be a benefit. They've been able to develop a unique and independent voice while still managing to make a living.

      The article notes:

      A new specialty boutique has joined Portland's ranks, but instead of curating lines of hard-to-find European scarves and toiletries, this venture focuses on the tools we need for making things. Founded by Core77, the longstanding online resource for industrial designers, Hand-Eye Supply offers what co-founder Eric Ludlum (with partners Stuart Constantine and Allan Chochinov) describes as an almost retro selection of supplies for making things with your hands rather than on a computer—everything from wrenches to pushpins to eye protection to sketchpads are available, although perhaps the most impressive category of their merchandise is the workwear department.

      ...

      The website was originally started in 1995 as a joint thesis for the Pratt Institute, with Constantine coming onboard around 2000, but the cheaper rents and fact that Ludlum says Portland "is a really good place to make things" won out. It's also no small coincidence that Ludlum's wife was pregnant when they made their permanent move last year.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Core77 to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

It's also worth noting a possible Conflict of Interest, as before I removed some language from the article quite a bit was written in the first person (see here for example [41]).
