This article is merely a glossary. Fbdave (talk) 23:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fbdave, can you please not put it up for deletion while the in construction tag is still on it. Is is customary not to nominate an article for deletion minutes after it is created. NikolaiHo☎️ 23:23, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that my article was nominated for deletion a mere 33 minutes after it was created, while I was still working on it (and I did put an in use tag on it). Besides that, the reason for why it is nominated is that it is merely a glossary. Glossaries are in fact a thing on Wikipedia, for example Glossary of Christianity (you can find a list of glossaries at WP:WPGLOSSARY). Also, lists of words exist on Wikipedia, for example List of words having different meanings in American and British English: A–L, which provides a list of words and the related definitions — much like my article. This shows that articles which are lists of words with definitions are allowed on Wikipedia. I think my article is a good addition to Wikipedia, it provides a handy and interesting source of information. And it is not unlike other articles on Wikipedia, so I don't see why it should be deleted? Thanks for you time and work on Wikipedia. NikolaiHo☎️ 00:10, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. Article is under construction and "This article is merely a glossary" isn't a valid reason for deletion. Madg2011 (talk) 00:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The guideline that should be read is WP:LISTGLOSSARY. I don't see a point in voting myself while the article is {{Under Construction}}, but in the end it will need to meet: "Some other, non-glossary lists of words can also yield an encyclopedic page, such as List of English words containing Q not followed by U, the condition being that reliable secondary sources for the topic can be cited." WikiVirusC(talk) 00:53, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because glossaries have a place in Wikipedia. However, I am only !voting Keep because it shouldn't be deleted. It is so customary to nominate articles for deletion minutes after they are created if they obviously need deleting. Both user space and draft space exist for reasons, which include so that article space isn't cluttered with things that are under construction. If an article isn't ready for AFD, don't put it in article space; don't just sloppily tag it as Under Construction. Do your construction in draft space or user space.

  • Delete. We don't necessarily need an article for every possible hyphenated combination of ethnicity and residence, even if that group accounts for less than 1,500 people total. This would be fine if some actual substance about them could be written and sourced, but if the census statistics themselves are the only possible source then a standalone article is no more necessary than a standalone article for every possible combination of bilateral diplomatic relations would be.

This regular season game is not notable per WP:SPORTSEVENT. There at least a couple dozen games of similar stature every season in college football, often more than one over a given weekend. Although important in the 2016 SEC standings (and quite fun for Florida fans), it is unlikely to be nationally notable enough in the long-term for a stand-alone article.

I also don't like how earlier attempts to remove this article were quietly brushed aside. It was nominated for speedy deletion last week by User:RileyBugz, and since I agreed that it should be deleted, I copied (and tweaked) most of the text over to the appropriate section of Florida–LSU football rivalry. The speedy deletion was contested, so User:GorillaWarfare converted the nomination to a PROD, but the AfD banner was quickly and inappropriately removed by this anonymous IP. That's not how things are supposed to be handled.

As a life-long Gator fan, I will freely admit that I greatly enjoyed watching this football game. However, as a long-time Wikipedia editor, I know that one must put rooting interest aside in matters like this. As written, the text is often borderline WP:NPOV, with a questionable title and several opinionated statements that would require citation or removal if left in the article. I'm not going to bother fixing these problems, though, because according to clear notability guidelines, the article should be deleted altogether. ~ Zeng8r (talk) 20:38, 18 July 2017 (UTC) note I'd call for a merge with Florida–LSU football rivalry, but as I said above, I've already taken care of that. --Zeng8r (talk) 20:41, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, as the meaningful content has been merged to the article regarding the rivalry. An article on this particular game can be spun back out of the rivalry article at a later date if it turns out it was the "start of something big" or anything like that. As a side-note, the removal of the PROD tag (the AfD template hasn't ever been removed after it was added) wasn't entirely out of process. Ideally, the IP would have removed it with some sort of rationale in the edit summary or with the addition of a bunch of extra sources to cement the article's existence, but that doesn't always happen. Best just to treat this as a "contested PROD" and nominate it here as has been done. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
reply My bad, I thought that the IP had removed an AfD banner. Still, I didn't like how an anonymous user deleted the banner without mentioning the removal in the edit summary, much less starting a discussion. Zeng8r (talk) 23:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's never a great look, I agree. In the long run, I'd say there's an argument for allowing participation in the deletion process, broadly defined (contesting CSDs, removing PRODs, opining here) to be restricted to logged-in users, although I don't know how enforceable that would be. I usually take the view that the IP removing the tag is most likely a/the contributor to the article and just forgot to log in, since the net result is the same.

Then He played on the Europa league group stages Against AZ Alkmarr, Zenit and Tel Aviv. Surely that makes him "notable" enough for you guys. JohnnyTheWhite99 (talk) 22:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He didn't play a single match for Dundee, and isn't notable enough per WP:GNG for his youth career at Aberdeen to mean anything.

Non-notable politician. Chowdhury's gimmick (announcing a candidacy before he's even eligible to vote) is cute, but in the end, candidates for this type of office are not inherently notable, and Chowdhury has only received the amount of press he has (which doesn't appear to be much) because of his age. If he wins the election in 2018, he will then become an eligible NPOL, but not before. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for declaring their candidacy in a future election, but this article features neither a claim of preexisting notability for anything else that would have gotten him over another notability criterion instead of WP:NPOL, nor enough reliable sourcing to deem him significantly more notable than other as yet unelected state legislature candidates. As written, the sourcing is based on a mixture of primary sources, blogs and purely local "teenager declares candidacy for office" human interest coverage of the type that every candidate for anything would always get. And for added bonus, the article was created by an SPA with no prior edit history, and has also been edited by an SPA named "TahseenCampaign", so there's some WP:COI in the mix as well — not that COI is a deletion rationale in and of itself if the article were otherwise salvageable, but it does confirm that the intent here was to use Wikipedia as a publicity platform rather than an encyclopedia. So no prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins the election, but none of this makes him notable enough to have an article today. Bearcat (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I wasn't able to find any other reliable sources-- the only article that might even be close to hitting RS would be this one ([2]), which isn't even about the company in question. Book search turned up nothing either. Nomader (talk) 18:59, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • As per WP:NEXIST:"Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article." The article contains many reliable sources that I recommend you read. I also suggest that instead of limiting google search to news to expand to regular search to see other press coverage. Google News is well known for its bug and can hardly be counted as an accurate archive of news. Hsypark (talk) 17:26, 19 July 2017 (UTC) Hsypark (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
      • Please assume good faith here-- I read the sources both in the article and the ones that you've linked below, and I just don't find them to be notable, unfortunately. The Wisconsin piece isn't about the article in question and Errund is just a trivial mention in it. Streetwise media (which is the Bostinno article) says that "Everyone is a publisher in the digital age" and has no editorial control, which means it fails WP:RS. The articles that you supported from Adobeinfuse's arguments are just generic company profiles that can be easily auto-generated and would never qualify to show notability. I'm sticking with my original rationale and my Delete !vote. Nomader (talk) 19:40, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: There are multiple reliable sources found on the entry, not sure why Google gave you only 2 results. For example, this one from Xconomy, a well known news publisher, ([3]) features the company among 5 companies. This one from WGN Radio a major news radio company in Chicago ([4]) features the company itself. This one ([5]) written by the same publisher features the company in almost half the article. Moreover, two other senior wikipedia editors have patrolled the article as well. Other reliable sources can be found on the article itself. For example, this one ([6]). In my opinion, the publishers (xconomy, madison.com, wgn radio, bostinno) are reliable and well known in the United States. Moreover, the coverage is significant. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." In other words, this article has more than several significant and reliable sources written by independent parties. Hsypark (talk) 20:33, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Fails GNG and RS. --AmaryllisGardener talk 22:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article has RS dated back to 2012 ([7]) and recent articles were spread out within the last few months and not days. Moreover, WP:TOOSOON is about having no reliable sources rather than the recency of the articles as you have implied: "If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered." But in this case, the sources do exist. Like you said, the company is newsworthy. A synonym for newsworthy is notable. Hence, the company can be counted as notable. Hsypark (talk) 03:18, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The company clearly meets the guidelines for notability. Their coverage is significant and available in CB Insights[8] and WEDC[9].Adobeinfuse (talk) 05:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree. per WP:GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.". A few examples of independent, reliable sources which have given significant coverage can be found in my above "keep" argument. Hsypark (talk) 17:17, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect - plausible search term, and title is surely a suitable redirect; "strategic management process" phrase is used in business textbooks easily found on Google books (example 1 (7 uses of exact phrase); example 2 (20 uses of exact phrase); example 3 (18 uses of exact phrase). Neutralitytalk 19:02, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect Neutrality has got a point here. Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 17:20, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Strategic Management I think what is going on here is something that happens often in the IT and business world, some methodology has taken a generic term and has claimed ownership of it. A similar example is Rapid Application Development, it's both a generic term and the name of a specific James Martin methodology. So the article for Strategic Management Process is not really about the Strategic Management Process in general but rather a specific approach called ASP (or also called SMP). (Just to be clear, I'm not a strategy expert, I'm just going off of my interpretation of the two articles but I'm pretty sure I'm correct) I think what should happen is the content in the Strategic Management Process article should be added as one of the Concepts and Frameworks described in section 3 of the Strategic Management article. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 23:59, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No verifiable indication that establishes notability under WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:31, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. WP:NFILM is not the applicable guideline, WP:TVSERIES is. Per that guideline, notability is indicated if the program airs on a national TV network (which seems to be the case with Hum TV). Since it's an Urdu-language TV show, searching for sources in English will probably not work. There is at least one source in the article ([10]) that indicates that further coverage likely exists. I have added a find sources box with the Urdu-language title at the top, hopefully someone who speaks Urdu can check. At the very least, it can be redirected to List of programs broadcast by Hum TV though, so deletion is no option. Regards SoWhy 15:08, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not establish the notability of this public art event - one of probably tens of thousands mounted every year by towns and cities around the world. WP:EVENT states topic must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". All art events are actively promoted by their organisers, and receive local media and publicity coverage, but this one does not seem to stand out in any way (unlike Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red). Nor does it meet WP:DEPTH. I've been unable to find any specific wikipedia notability policy on past or forthcoming temporary art/exhibition events such as this, and wonder if this is almost WP:ADMASK. As a former museum curator myself who worked in art galleries, I love to see every single public art event promoted and recorded; as a Wikipedian I cannot see the appropriateness of its retention here, and would prefer just a brief line and image in the page on Wolverhampton. I suspect other editors may regard this as borderline, so before bringing other similar articles forward for consideration, I would welcome seeing their opinions.

  • Weak keep under the suggested renaming. There's a Springer book that mentions this station as a major player in Albanian advertising (these Springer digital books are peer-reviewed but often low quality). I also found a commendation from an OCSE official, in an interview with the channel - not a RS, but an indication that they might exist in Albanian. I found a couple of academic articles in English behind paywalls, but even the most popular TV channel in Albania (Top Channel) hardly shows up in Google Scholar. There is just a dearth of English-language coverage of the whole country: the academic literature is often in German; journalism is just as likely to be in Italian.

  • Keep easily meets WP:GNG. His career and the app he founded have been profiled by secondary sources. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As a technologist and a religious figure, he is far from meeting our specific guidelines of notability for such fields. That leaves us with just WP:GNG. The app he developed isn't significant enough to confer automatic notability on its creator per WP:NOTINHERITED. I went through the references in the article and that is certainly not my definition of multiple significant coverage for a BLP. Notable religious figures in Nigeria always have routine coverage that shouldn't be difficult in establishing GNG. My suggestion for this new and promising editor that seem interested in clergymen is that he/she should consider articles for Sam Adeyemi (who was even the mentor of Godman Akinlabi), Poju Oyemade, Paul Adefarasin, etc. These pastors will clearly pass GNG. His church was even founded in this decade! If there was an article for his app, I would have suggested a redirect to it. If you can post three references that discusses him significantly, then I will change to keep. For now, I see nothing noteworthy in his career as a pastor. Darreg (talk) 09:05, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You just pointed out that "we are left with just GNG" which I think you know is what Wikipedia depends on. This source from Vanguard and this one from The Nation discusses his Believers Connect app, this one by YNaija mentions/profiles his church. Pulse Nigeria covered his career here. There are also deep interviews from Thisday. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:55, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to be clear, when I speak of specific guidelines for religious figures, I am talking of rationales such as being a Catholic/Anglican Bishop, being the head pastor of a significantly large congregation, etc. Back to the article, I do not agree that the subject 100% passes GNG, but the references you've provided show that as a relationship coach and youth pastor, he's probably well covered. I'm now really indifferent. Darreg (talk) 08:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep — This topic mixes broad international cooperation with a low press profile; it involves many players and produces regular agreements, and its an international body that has met 8 times. These latter facts suggest notability that may be hidden within the names of the many initiatives that seem to emerge out of the CEM. Nonetheless, these source suggest that there is strong independent interest in the overall topic from relevant experts: Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy podcast and article on CEM. Energy and Environment News article on a recent meeting. Foreign Affairs published a first-person piece on the role of the CEM in US strategy.

The result was delete. I expect this will be an unpopular close, but I find the arguments to keep, while numerically in the majority, to be weak on policy. The creator of the article argues to keep, but gives no reason. Two of the other arguments to keep are essentially WP:CRYSTAL.

On the other side, the argument that this is WP:1EVENT strikes me as sound.

While you've added content, I still don't see the article subject meeting WP:GNG. I think recentism and WP:1E also applies and, therefore, disqualifies the article subject from GNG and encyclopedic worthiness. -- ψλ 03:57, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd ill have to disagree with your 'notable for only one event', as Ekim Alptekin's role in turning around a New Mexican aviation company was discussed in multiple secondary sources at the time, (within and outside of the United States), adding some notability for a figure in the aviation industry, atop his ongoing involvement in the Michael Flynn controversy. PvOberstein (talk) 04:12, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He's marginally notable for the Flynn event, only. Coverage in a few publications during a short news cycle for the aviation company story isn't encyclopedic-worthy notability. That takes us back to 1E (Flynn). And then, there's recentism. -- ψλ 04:36, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- mostly a CVdesigned to promote the subject. And what is an "advocate for improved Turkish-American relations"? K.e.coffman (talk) 22:24, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@K.e.coffman: More for the benefit of the record than to change anyone's mind, I would like it noted that nothing I wrote was "designed to promote the subject". ("Design" would imply some conscious intent to boost the subject, which I find vaguely disquieting to be accused of doing). If anything, I'd say the somewhat unsavory controversies over Michael T. Flynn and the Leviathan gas field tilt the article somewhat to the negative. I'm not entirely sure what a "glorified CV" means, given that any biographical page is going to have some CV-elements, but I attempted to expand beyond a mere resume with an exploration of his role in the Gülenism controversy and the Mueller investigation.

  • Delete - the coverage of his crime and conviction were judged insufficient for notability in the previous AfD, so the question has to be whether he has become notable since then. My assessment is that he hasn't. There are several sources, yes, but no in-depth coverage, and it is all pretty much on the level of a gossip column. I do not believe that there is significant coverage, and his WP:RUNOFTHEMILL career is also not grounds for a claim to notability - having a job doesn't make anybody notable. --bonadea contributions talk 12:59, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Even though this guy has some press, he obviously hasn't done anything notable and also is mainly famous for 1 event, being arrested + being attractive (pretty low bar in and of itself). This not only goes against Wikipedia notable guidelines but it breaks the guidelines for people only notable for one event. This is a clear case of detete.

Redirect to Big Brother 7 (U.S.) I created this as a redirect to a list of Big Brother housemates, and Dexxc made it an article. He could be considered to have 'significant roles in multiple notable...television shows' (WP:ENT) but I would say the 3 notable shows he has been in all go together as part of the Big Brother family. More than anything though, this is an unreferenced biography of a living person. It has had an external link added to imdb, but it is unclear if it has been used as a source. I'm assuming it has, but it's unreliable and not an accepted source. Without proper sourcing, we can't keep it as an article. I looked for reliable sources to add, but didn't find extensive coverage. Unless sources are added to prove notability, I think it should be a protected redirect to the series he won. Boleyn (talk) 16:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • RedirectMerge he was the winner of Big Brother 7 (U.S.), so that's the best target. There are no references; winning Big Brother is not inherently notable; and I don't believe material for a stand-alone article exists. Power~enwiki (talk) 19:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: In the world of reality television, I'd say a winner and "all-star" of a reality television competition series as large, popular, and somewhat innovative as Big Brother is actually quite notable. Heck, if this isn't notable, why are any Big Brother contestants' pages notable?! I'd definitely argue that they are. Also, Malin's page is probably more notable than most Big Brother contestants' pages: he's one of its earliest winners and "all-stars", and he's done way more things (like being in a few movies and shows and things) than most recent winner pages' people have. Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:06, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very few Big Brother contestants are notable; it's likely some winners meet WP:ENT but I don't believe all of them do. That said, the bigger problem here is that there are zero references for a WP:BLP article. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per past AfDs. Unless consensus has drastically changed, I'd say that winners of major "reality" shows are almost always kept.

  • Comment I've changed my "Redirect" vote to merge; while I support the redirect over the article as currently written, I don't support any history deletion. I note Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalie White (2nd nomination) as a reality-show winner that was deleted; however, the deletion case there doesn't apply here. Mike Malin has appeared on several series of Big Brother after his victory, is not a WP:BLP1E candidate, and likely meets WP:ENT. The reason I support a merge is the complete lack of secondary references in this BLP article. I find mostly TV synopses and scandal coverage (e.g. [23] ).

Article has sources but fails to provide any WP:RS to verify as per WP:V. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Greenbörg (talk) 14:34, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete - As it stands, the article is pretty weak. The references are pretty lousy, the office held is not enough to pass WP:NPOL, and the allegations of vote-buying need to be very reliably sourced or removed to meet WP:BLP. That said, it sounds like there could be a decent article to be had, since the story overall (Pakistani expat cabbie wins millions, returns to start political career, helps out in the aftermath of horrible disaster, etc.) is unique enough to be worth documenting.PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@PohranicniStraze: Wouldn't this press coverage fall under WP:SINGLEEVENT? --Saqib (talk) 10:26, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Saqib: I don't think it would. He wouldn't be notable for being a lottery winner due to WP:1E, and he wouldn't be notable as a nazim because it doesn't meet NPOL, and he wouldn't be notable just for the disaster recovery under 1E either. But the totality of the story - lottery winner turned Pakistani politician who spends serious money to rebuild after a serious disaster - makes for notability in my opinion. But I am still fairly new to the AfD process, so I would be interested to hear what more experienced editors think. With reliable sourcing, and with Bearcat helpfully removing the BLP violation, I am willing to change my vote if that is where consensus heads.PohranicniStraze (talk) 21:45, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as it stands. I did not find independent coverage of it under its current title, but there are a number of problems with such searches. The listed awards, with which I am unfamiliar, suggest that there might exist such independent coverage, but the lack of citation to the original sources for those awards is problematic. The awards themselves, since they are in a very specific area may not constitute notability by themselves without some WP:GNG coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 04:05, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Did you look under older titles because it seems to have only been T+D for a small part of its existence? I agree about the awards, but we can't base notability on only a small part of its history. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:53, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find much coverage of it under any name. It isn't called T+D anymore. Now it is TD, and seems to be primarily a publication offered as a membership benefit from its latest publisher, Association for Talent Development. I rewrote the article in order to make it less promotional-sounding, see see here. Even with my re-write, I am not certain if it should remain, but now the tone is appropriate for a WP magazine stub article rather than reading like an advertisement as before.--FeralOink (talk) 19:27, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable advert by a group member.

The article was previously deleted A7 as a puff piece by Willhire a WP:SPA, WP:COI editor ("Willhire - William Owens - Chief Human Resources Officer") with some edits by Jdaiey, ("JDaley - Jordan Daley - Chief Operating Officer").

It was refunded to Draft at the request of Prisencolin who hasn't edited the article at all. A couple of IPs have edited with minor improvements. Willhire then moved it back to mainspace. It's worth noting Willhire's own assessment, "I have made zero valid contributions. Honestly don't know why this account still exists." Cabayi (talk) 08:38, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Revise This article appears to have COI violations, but the idea of the article seems fine since teams like Evil Geniuses have a page. It needs to be heavily edited to remove the self-promotion and trival details. --Frmorrison (talk) 17:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and Revise The article was made with a conflict of interest, but I tried to write it in a way where it did not seem biased. The article is fortunately notable with reliable coverage sources from Dexerto, DOTeSports, WWG, and etc. I believe with heavy editing it will be a more valid article. The article fits along the lines of pages FaZe Clan, Fnatic, Team EnVyUs, and etc.. Keep in mind I will NOT be contributing towards this page anymore due to me not wanting it to be disbanded and have others contribute with good faith unless under the circumstances of having to fix due to vandalism or noticeable false errors. Just for clearance, I do NOT have any relation with User:Prisencolin, I believe he is going to be one of the editors who will edit in good faith whom does not have a conflicting interest. Also, what is on my user page should not pertain to what is a notable article and the use of it in your guide to deletion is not well done in my opinion. --User:Willhire (talk) 1:35 11 July 2017 (UTC)

  • This article lacks WP:RS and the WP:VGRS custom search engine gets us no further regarding meeting the criteria established in WP:GNG.

  • Delete: As the nominator says, the reference coverage is shallow, featuring such as a presentation photo name-check and a biography repeated in event material. I don't see the subject's company role as providing inherited individual notability. There is also a Q&A piece here. Some notability in his field may be arguable by virtue of his inclusion in a "10 Most Influential Analytics Leaders in India" (though that inclusion probably involves an in-role element) and serving on a NASSCOM committee, but my view is that these are insufficient to demonstrate biographical notabiility.

Slots is not a goofy dentist selling the latest scam-toothpaste or a novelty scientist. He's a reputable clinician and researcher in a super small and select field without a lot of visible fanfare and hype, and he's not going to be easily found on Google with the likes of Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Instead of trying to delete this article, if you think it's not well written enough, you ought to be WP:BOLD and edit it yourself. And now I see that Jan Lindhe is under attack as well. This is ridiculous. DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 04:18, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The world is full of reputable academics and practitioners (I am surrounded by them IRL) but they need to be a bit special to rise to the level of meriting a Wikipedia article, as set out in our notability guidelines. I just don't see that Slots meets those requirements. That does not mean he is a "goofy dentist". Describing attempts to clean non-notable content out of WP as an "attack" is a problem: you should be here to help. Alexbrn (talk) 05:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your attempts ought to be more precisely staged. Slots invented TSBV, which, at the time (early 1980s) was first in best efficacy at selecting for A.a. colonies. Without this shift in microbiological testing, the participation of A.a. was not possible, and so he's responsible for this change in the understanding of aggressive periodontitis (at the time known as localized juvenile periodontitis). I urge you to revoke your nomination for deletion immediately.DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 13:56, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hullaballoo Wolfowitz how did you come to such an unusual conclusion? This is not a part of a comprehensive list of items. In fact, this is a rare album that is not in-line with the group's other studio albums. There are plenty of acts that have some notable recordings with pages and some unnotable recordings without pages; this case should be the latter.

  • And how did you come to the unusual conclusion that there is something "unusual" about the straightforward application of a settled principle? WP:OSE says rather plainly that "In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items"; punching holes in such a comprehensive set of listings does not serve "the purpose of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference". Here, it is simple to look at the discography listing in the band's article and see that all but the band's most recent album (not to mention dozens of its singles) have individual articles. In this context, reasonable users of the encyclopedia would expect that articles in all the albums should (ultimately) be available, and doing otherwise fetishizes what is supposed to be a flexible internal guideline at the expense of value to people who expect Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia.

@Ritchie333: I suggest that you re-read the Fortune.com article, and reconsider you !vote. It states: The name "Picaboo," it turns out, is a name already in use by an older New Hampshire-based company that published and printed images. To avoid market confusion, the co-founders rechristen their invention "Snapchat." The article under discussion here is about that undistinguished New Hampshire image publishing and printing service, not the Stanford wiz-kids' idea. --Bejnar (talk) 06:04, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I figured that out, but forgot to update my comment here. In any case, in the long term we should at least have "Picaboo" as a redirect going to Snapchat, whether that is simply done by re-appropriating this article, or deleting this one and recreating it is six of one and half a dozen of the other.

  • Delete no claim to notability is made in the lead. Fails WP:CORP for lack of in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources. The article was created on 5 August 2014‎, by an editor who then ceased editing. It appears to have been created for promotional purposes. --Bejnar (talk) 06:04, 4 July 2017 (UTC) I have moved my !vote down here, as I have re-reviewed the article, and still find no claim to notability, and no in depth coverage as per WP:CORP, despite the additions. For example the added New York Times article has a brief mention of Picaboo in an article about modern self-publiahing. The article added from the New Hampshire Business Review is more substantial, but is highly promotional, it also conflated the origin of Snapchat with Picaboo as did Ritchie333 above. The net result is still lack of in-depth coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 22:06, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Bejnar: According to our general notability guidelines:
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
Please let me know which of the following sources included in the article do you consider not to meet that criteria and why:
The brief mentions from other reliable sources (New York Times: [28], Fox News: [29], Chicago Tribune: [30]) complement it's notability, but if you agree that at least three of the above are valid I think it follows that there is enough in depth coverage by multiple sources to meet WP:GNG.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 09:08, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I also do not understand the argument "it also conflated the origin of Snapchat with Picaboo" as the first line of the article includes the following disambiguation statement: "This article is about the web-based image printing service. For the photo sharing app formerly called Picaboo, see Snapchat." --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:27, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your cited source did the conflating. --Bejnar (talk) 15:09, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please clarify what you mean. I did not see any mention of Snapchat in the source. This company started in Palo Alto and moved to New Hampshire.
  • Delete. The first two sources are rewritten press releases, essentially repeating the company's own advertisements for itself, and local newspaper can't really be expected to do more than that.. The accuracy can be gauged by their use of the NYT articles as their reference, whichgave this company one sentence in a general article. TeleCrunch varies: its long reviews can be RSs, but this particular reference is a short notice. Bloomberg is a directory entry. Thefirst of the booksmentions it only, (twice pluas a picture legend) It is a fair assumption that the others are similar. DGG ( talk ) 03:22, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Having four users (two of them admins for which I have a great deal of respect) with a different criteria on this article I am beginning to feel like Custer on his last stand. I honestly don't know this tool as I no longer print my photos and I never heard about this company before stumbling upon this AfD, but I feel compelled to invest my time and defend its inclusion. Besides fighting vandalism I use a lot of my time patrolling new pages, so if my understanding of how to apply our notability criteria is not 100% correct I am very interested in learning why and continue to hone in my skills. But if my interpretation is correct I feel that I need to be consistent and continue to defend that this article be kept.
@DGG: I very much admire your work, I read the comments on notability posted on your page. I agree that there is always some degree of subjectivity, but I personally feel that our goal should be to apply the criteria in the most objective way posible. In this case I see no reasonable reason for deletion. Addressing your comments:
  • I do not share your analysis of the first two sources. They are both reliable sources and both provide significant coverage so I feel they meet word by word the requirements outlined at WP:GNG. There is no clear indication that they are press releases as they are both signed. I also understand by our definition of secondary sources:
A secondary source provides an author's own thinking based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains an author's analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent or third-party sources. They rely on primary sources for their material, making analytic or evaluative claims about them.
That the fact that they also include some information from primary sources like the company, its employees or even PR releases does not invalidate them as proper sources, as long as they are not copied entirely word by word, in which case I would have to agree with you. If there is such a PR release, please provide the link and I will remove the sources.
  • About the NYT. The source does not include only a single sentence. There are two separate references from two different articles published by the NYT, and in both cases they include a paragraph with three sentences.
  • The TechCrunch article has 362 words clearly meeting (in my opinion) the significant coverage criteria outlined in our general notability guidelines to consider that source valid towards establishing notability.
  • Bloomberg is not just a directory entry, There is a criteria to be included, it provides a brief description so it seems to be more than a trivial mention and being a secondary source subject to editorial control I feel it also contributes to establish the notability of the subject.
  • Regarding the books: The first book, as you say, includes just a paragraph with two sentences and an image with its caption but this also is more than a trivial mention so it also contributes to establish notability. I believe that your assumption about the other two books is incorrect. One of them has a very extensive coverage of its features comparing them to those of other relevant tools for picture books and mentions the term Picaboo 46 times. The third book includes at least two paragraphs.
  • There was no mention about the article in the WSJ rating it top photo book creator in terms of quality. Finally the brief mentions by Chicago Tribune and Fox News I think complement the other sources and help establish that this is a reasonably popular tool for photo editing and printing.
I have been here for three years and I am honored to have been trusted with the responsibility to be an admin at the es project, still I admit that I continue learning every day and I welcome the opportunity to contrast criteria with other editors with much more experienced than myself, so if I am mistaken in my interpretation of our policy I will gladly accept any guidance or criticism. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes:

      In 2002, two Babson College students, Kevin McCurdy and Howard Field, formed the idea for a cloud-based software platform to create personal photo books. That platform became Picaboo, which, in 2012 The Wall Street Journal rated the best photo book provider, in a comparison with Blurb, MyPublisher and Shutterfly.

      ...

      With millions of users worldwide, the business was doing well, but McCurdy said he started to hear stories from friends and family about the hassle of putting together school yearbooks.

      The company has worked already with several thousand elementary schools, middle schools, smaller high schools and some colleges in the U.S. and Canada.

      The article notes:

      Picaboo Corp.'s BookGenie service required the least amount of editing. Without any tips or suggestions in the tool, it took us awhile to learn how to swap photos, but once we figured it out, it was simple. As for the lack of guidance offered in the tool, "It's a delicate balance of keeping things simple and offering a rich set of features," says co-founder Kevin McCurdy.

      Photos uploaded quickly and the layout looked good, requiring minimal tweaking. We liked the album's vintage travel theme. The site allowed the most customization of layouts, including adding more than 10 small photos per page.

      Once it arrived, the book was the best of the four services. While the cover quality was great, we would have liked to change the look of the cover title; an opaque textbox seemed out of place. Users can change the opaqueness of the text box, Mr. McCurdy says.

      The article notes:

      A Silicon Valley firm has relocated to Hanover and moved into the 128-year old Rosey Jekes building — no sign advertises the new tenant — that was formerly occupied by the retail boutique of the same name. The firm, Picaboo, launched in 2002 with an online application that enables users to design custom paper-bound photo books from digital pictures. Picaboo survived the subsequent shakeout among online photo book makers and went on to sell more than 2 million books to 1 million customers.

      ...

      Now the 50-employee company — 10 of whom work in the Rosey Jekes building — is adapting its online photo book application to the high school and college yearbook market, an old-school industry that continues to operate much the way it did half a century ago.

      ...

      The impetus for Picaboo began at the sixth hole at the Stanford University Golf Course.

      In 2002, McCurdy and Howard Field, who had been friends since their days together at the business-studies oriented Babson College in Massachusetts, were already a couple of successful young entrepreneurs.

      ...

      He and Field hired programmers to design the software and raised $18 million through two rounds of venture capital. The barrier to entry is relatively low: There are no plant or infrastructure costs and the capital expenditure goes largely toward software development. Fulfillment, printing and delivery of the photo books is contracted out to digital printing companies and other firms. Many of Picaboo’s staff members are dispersed around the country: The 12-person engineering staff lives and works in low-cost Boise, Idaho, a growing mecca for coders. Field remains in California and is executive chairman of the company.

      By 2012, after operating for 10 years, Picaboo was profitable.

      It only works on Windows right now (although Mac user have built in software for this stuff that works very well already).

      The article notes:

      Similar to competitor MyPublisher.com, the actual building process occurs on your local system after you download the free software from Picaboo's website. Here's where I hit the first glitch: I own a MacBook, and Picaboo only works on Windows systems. I regrouped and brought the photos to the office on a flash drive, so that I could use a Windows machine. Unfortunately, the installation process still didn't run smoothly, and I kept getting vague error messages. I tried going to Picaboo's troubleshooting page, but it wasn't particularly helpful or straightforward. Finally, after turning off all other programs and restarting my computer, I was able to fully install the software, which ran smoothly after that.

      ...

      Though I didn't test it, Picaboo also offers a soundtrack option, where you can upload songs from your computer or download tunes from eMusic.

      Despite my complaints with the process, with a little time and tinkering I was able to get the result I wanted. I wish that Picaboo was compatible with Macs and that the installation had run smoothly, but once it was up and running I had few complaints. My dad's book looks fantastic on the coffee table, and that's what really counts.

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

      The article notes:

      PROS

      Affordable. Lets you add a deep level of detail to tasks. Includes Gantt charts, reporting tools, time tracking features, expenses. Open API for paid account holders. Broad range of mobile apps.

      CONS

      No chat app or team discussion boards. Isn't supported by Zapier. Pages slow to load. Mediocre drag-and-drop tools. No calendar. New user invitations were not received in testing.

      BOTTOM LINE

      AceProject puts function over form in its sturdy but basic project management solution. It's affordable, but not feature-rich.

      This article is an extensive review of AceProject.

      The article notes:

      I didn't know much about AceProject coming into the research phase of this review. Therefore, it was a pleasant surprise to see such a comprehensive project manager when I rolled into the system.

      From the very first screen, I was impressed, especially with the dashboard that contained pretty much everything I needed to see about my own work. This system enables an unlimited number of users to track tasks, projects, time, and expenses in a cloud-based interface that was fast and efficient to navigate.

      ...

      Overall, these three tools each offer unique ways to help you manage your time and projects.

      AceProject is by far the most comprehensive and granular in nature, but for organizations that are looking for more collaboration than project management, it may be too much.

      The article notes:

      What is wrong?

      Speed: Because your project exists in the cloud, the hosted system's response to your commands can be a little sluggish when compared to an onsite application. However, as I am writing this review I received news that AceProject is upgrading its servers, which may mitigate some of these concerns.

      Learning curve: The AceProject suite of applications may be web-based, but it does not skip on features. New users to the system will likely go through a significant learning curve, especially if they have never used a project management system before.

      The article notes:

      Task-organizing tools can be as simple as a to-do list (and I’ll be doing a separate post on those tools). Project-management tools, by contrast, are for bigger, more complex organizing jobs — but you don’t have to be building nuclear subs to benefit from them. Jill Bode, who runs a public relations agency called Designed Write in Franklin, Ind., uses an online service called AceProject (priced from zero to $99 a month, depending on the number of users, projects and tasks) to track various campaigns and efforts — currently 46 different projects for 18 clients. “I’m not a great multitasker,” Ms. Bode said. “I really like having a tracking mechanism for making sure that everything is moving forward, even if I’m not directly touching each of the projects.”

      As do most project-management tools, AceProject has users type in the tasks that make up a given project, including who’s responsible for each one, when the tasks need to be started, when they have to be completed by, and what sort of time and effort is required to get each done. The process pushes Ms. Bode to think through the details of each project, she said, and then it keeps her posted on possible trouble spots. The service notifies her on login or even by e-mail when someone falls behind on a task, or when there simply isn’t enough time to get something done. “It gives me a 50,000-foot view,” she said, “and then I can zoom in to get whatever details I need to see what’s causing any problems.”

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

  • Strong Keep The PC Mag review alone is substantial coverage, and i don't have any idea why Light2021 would think it not reliable -- I've been depending on it since long before Wikipedia was created. The NY Times coverage is more than 1 paragraph -- read down in the story for further coverage of Ace. It is called a "blog" but this is really an online column and a fully reliable source. (The fact that the column is daily adds to its reliability, not detracts, IMO.) The same is true of the Tech Republic coverage. These alone are sufficient to establish notability, and several of the others would be as well. No valid reason to delete this time -- much improved over previous version of the article. These source would permit improving the article, which should be done, but notability depends on the sources found, not the sources cited and used. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 13:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the coverage shown above is does not demonstrate notability. The tech crunch article is WP:Churnalism and really does not demonstrate why this is notable. It only discusses features of the product - it is very mundane and routine coverage. The New York Times article is insignificant coverage that mentions this product along with other similar products. It discusses general needs in common with types of people yearning to be organized then it discusses several products. Even PC mag says it has deficiencies. The "print" or "web" coverage does not go beyond helpful tips. Wikipedia is not an advice column. This article is an attempt to use Wikipedia as a platform for promotion wp:promo. I agree with delete and salt. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:15, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No TechCrunch article is mentioned here or in the article. The articles are clearly not Wikipedia:Churnalism. They provide detailed analysis of the company. Here is a negative review from PC Magazine:

    But AceProject skips some aspects of project management that are essential to many teams, such as a calendar and an in-app chat box. It's slightly better than average, but it doesn't beat out PCMag's two recommended Editors' Choices, which offer small businesses more in features and value: Teamwork Projects and Zoho Projects.

    Here is a review from ITworld with negative material about AceProject:

    AceProject is by far the most comprehensive and granular in nature, but for organizations that are looking for more collaboration than project management, it may be too much.

    Here is a review with negative content from TechRepublic:

    "Even PC mag says it has deficiencies." – that the article says it has deficiencies does not make AceProject non-notable.

  • Delete - the sources found are just routine mentions in publications that would talk about any software, good bad or indifferent, and the New York Times source listed above looks awfully like a press release or some other advert. There isn't anything in the above coverage listed that can't be simply expressed as "it's a bit of software". Which significant customers does it have? What's its userbase and national or international presence? How has it contributed to the sum of human knowledge? We don't know because the sources don't tell us.

  • There isn't anything in the above coverage listed that can't be simply expressed as "it's a bit of software". – the reviews talk about what are the strengths and weaknesses of the software. This analysis clearly establishes notability.

    There is no requirement for the sources to answer the questions Which significant customers does it have? What's its userbase and national or international presence? How has it contributed to the sum of human knowledge? If the sources did answer those questions, another AfD participant would probably say those sources are advertisements or reprints of press releases.

I remember the days of TUCOWS, and they would mention the pros and cons of just about every software application released to the public. It's indiscriminate and routine coverage. Simply telling us the positives and negatives doesn't tell us why it's important. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:39, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Extensive reviews of the company are not "indiscriminate" or "routine coverage".

Simply telling us the positives and negatives doesn't tell us why it's important. – there is no need to prove that a company is important per WP:ITSIMPORTANT. There is only a need to prove that there is significant coverage in reliable sources, which has been done.

Cunard (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that's only a guideline, not an absolute dogma. To give a (admittedly facetious) counter-example, I could claim Public toilets in Ashford, Kent is a notable topic because it meets WP:GNG ([31][32][33][34]) even though that sounds patently ridiculous. What WP:ITSIMPORTANT actually says is "don't just !vote at an AfD saying 'it's useful' without any other context", which obviously is not what's happening here. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:26, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Public toilets in Ashford, Kent is not notable because the only sources available are a government website and routine coverage in a local newspaper with titles like "Man freed from New Street, Ashford public toilets" and "​Public loos in Ashford have been closed but you can relieve yourself in these 12 places". As WP:ROUTINE notes:

Run-of-the-mill events—common, everyday, ordinary items that do not stand out—are probably not notable. This is especially true of the brief, often light and amusing (for example bear-in-a-tree or local-person-wins-award), stories that frequently appear in the back pages of newspapers or near the end of nightly news broadcasts ("And finally" stories).

If there was significant non-run-of-the-mill coverage of "Public toilets in Ashford, Kent" in national sources like The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, and The Times, then the topic would be notable.

The articles about AceProject are not "common, everyday, ordinary items". They are significant product reviews in major sources like The New York Times, PC Magazine, ITworld, and TechRepublic.

Cunard (talk) 04:17, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the claims of notability are things like "the fourth most popular project management software on Yahoo! Directory", and all of Cunard's references are product reviews. I don't see any other coverage of the company. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:49, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. The article's subject has received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and appears to have drawn notice from some large outlets. While this coverage is borderline routine (we would not create an article for every item that PCMag reviews), there appears to be a breadth in coverage that makes up for this. How much semi-routine coverage does there need to be for it to no longer be routine? This is a tough question, but I would err on the side of keeping the article.

No solid indication of musical notability or general notability. This autobiography contains peacock language and is promotional. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully would not consider the autobiography for containing peacock language. I would like to apologize to the community for failure to meet the wikipedia standards on publishing articles. However, I do believe the original editor that helped set up this article didn't use enough resources for this article. Rather than delete this article please allow myself and the editor to make the appropriate corrections. Readers would like to read this autobiography because it give readers who follow the artist more insight to the artist's artistry. Please do not agree to the deletion of this article. Sources that support the work of this autobiography are interviews, blogs, IMDb and supported sources from networks such as from Talkmedia Africa[1], [2], [3], [4]. We can provide much more sources if needed.

WP:OR, WP:FANPAGE. This seems like an answer to Elvis impersonator, but unlike Elvis impersonator there is nothing like Michael Jackson impersonator that can be called notable. This section has cited 4 sources none of them use the term "jackson impersonator" or even "impersonator". Other 2 sections[35][36] have no sources that mention the required terms, misrepresenting "influence" as "impersonator" would make Michael Jackson a James Brown impersonator. Violation of WP:COPYVIO can be found on this section [37] from [38]

4th cites an 8 year old event where Madonna hired a Jackson impersonator, and the last section[39] has only 3/8 notable names, rest of the 5 will need to be removed per WP:NLIST. After all this cleanup, the article would be barely 2 or 3 sentences and we can find same amount of "impersonation" for just any artist that has sold millions of records. Thus delete.

Another advertisement for a very non-notable design firm. I started fixing it, but realized there was not enough left for notability. Has designed a few very minor accessories for popular products--the names of those notable products fill the article with bluelinks. When I saw the link to Trek Bicycles, I expected they might have designed an important helmet, but what they designed was a cage for a water bottle. I expected to see the usual several thousand dollar donation to local charities that's in article like this, but I see instead that the organized a community meeting.

  • Keep, but fix the article - If possible, the article must be cleaned up regarding neutrality, plus it looks like an essay that its creator started.

The correct way to deal with its POV issue is tagging it with {{POV}} regarding the neutrality issue, not considering deletion per POV grounds. -TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 03:00, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per TagaSanPedroAko. Added comment: the article is useful/helpful as it provides context to one of the metropolis' biggest and most daunting problems—traffic. Although POV issue must not be set aside or ignored with.JWilz12345 (talk) 06:22, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
