The result was redirect to Endometriosis. Although she isn't synonymous with the subject, redirects are cheap and as Tapered says, if someone finds her name in Google, then they'd be directed to a relevant article. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Lou Ballweg[edit]

Delete: blatant promotional article; copy/pasted resume. Quis separabit? 00:03, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to endometriosis. The Milwakee Sentinel article is an interview about the disease—not about her—and her mention in the Guardian is short, ergo trivial. She did found an organization, and gets some web mention, so redirect readers who enter her in the searchbox to the subject. I concur with the reasoning of Rms125's delete.

Delete Fails GNG, I don't think her name is a synonym for endometriosis, so a redirect doesn't apply here. South Nashua (talk) 06:13, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, South Nashua is right - she isn't synonymous with endo. If we had an article on her organization I'd say redirect her there, but we don't, so I think delete is more appropriate. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The idea behind the 'redirect' recommendation: provide useful information for people who happen upon Ballweg's name using google, to connect them to real info about endometriosis. Tapered (talk) 01:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Predator entity[edit]

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

This article should be deleted as it is not notable (does not meet WP:GNG) as only sources that it is found in are unreliable. A WP:BEFORE search found no reliable sources. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions}) 23:50, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Article has no refernces. Search tool produces only one hit of any note, a review in Kirkus Books. Only one mention in a reliable source. Fails notability. Delete. Tapered (talk) 00:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Redirect~~ To Child Sexual Abuse the phrase is quite common, and it has been established before that redirects don't have to be notable. The phrase is quite obviously attached to this awful genre. L3X1 (distant write) 01:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Keep This book doesn't seem to be notable and there is almost no coverage of it in secondary sources. I don't think that it should be redirected because I don't think this book has a significant relevance to any other articles. Imalawyer (talk) 06:02, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The only significant relevance is the fact it's title is a phrase mostly associated with child abuse.L3X1 (distant write) 14:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Redirect~~ @Imalawyer: Because the book will turn up in google searches, because it's 'stock phrase,' redirect is a better idea. Tapered (talk) 23:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed my vote to keep, but I would still be opposed to a redirect. I don't think it's sufficiently recognized as a stock phrase that a redirect would be appropriate. Would anyone search "I Never Told Anyone" looking for an article about a stock phrase? Imalawyer (talk) 06:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I used my college's database to look up sourcing and found quite a bit. So far it looks like it began as a bit of a darling in its academic sphere, but has since received some criticism over how it was written. What does everyone say - I'm pinging @L3X1, Imalawyer, Tapered, and Champion: to see what they think. I've expanded the article greatly. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It also looks like it's used as a source in various academic works. Here's an older work, but I still see it used or mentioned here (2000), here (2008), here (2010), and here (2015), among many others. It looks like it's considered a fairly groundbreaking work from what I've found. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been substantially improved and the secondary sources prove notability. I've changed my vote to keep. Imalawyer (talk) 06:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Thanks Tokyogirl. The thing abotu redirecting is: If someone googles INTA, a lot of stuff about child abuse will pop up, so why not have the wikipedia article on the search return also? But never mind that, I changed my vote to keep. L3X1 (distant write) 14:44, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... maybe a hatnote? We could probably add that the title references the fact that a lot of abuse victims say this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 20:39, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've added this. My worry with the redirect is that there isn't necessarily an automatic thing people would be looking for necessarily - it makes sense to you and I, but there's not really anything in the main child sexual abuse article that uses this phrase or has a section that uses a similar phrase. For example, you'd expect to see something about this in Child_sexual_abuse#Disclosure but that discusses disclosure where the children are forthcoming about the abuse, even if just slightly. I don't see anything in the article about a child not coming forward to talk about the abuse that would make sense for the redirect necessarily. It's not that I'm against it, just that I'm just uncomfortable redirecting it without something to show why it would redirect, as it may not have the same context for every person. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 20:48, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article has been greatly improved by Tokyogirl and references added. Some of these are reviews of the book and demonstrate that it meets WP:BKCRIT. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Betty Gabriel[edit]

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

Doesn't meet WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. No reliable sources to confirm notability. Perhaps just WP:TOOSOON. Boleyn (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete See WP:TOOSOON. It looks like her career has recently begun and she may attain notability in the future, but as of right now is not notable.Sdc3000 (talk) 18:12, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No. Here is an entire article on Huffington Post featuring Betty Gabriel's role in Get Out: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-most-overlooked-underrated-characters-in-get_us_58c3049de4b0a797c1d39c5b — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.28.103 (talk) 03:08, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The coverage of her role in Get Out is not enough to overcome out multiple roles rule. The role in The Purge:Election Year was not significant enough. Gabriel may make it to being notable, but that will require at least one more significant role in a notable film. She has not yet reached the level of notability. Anyway the Huffington Post article is not about Gabriel, it is about a character in a film. It only mentions Gabriel in a caption to a photo. The fact that the character is played by Gabriel does not make the piece about Gabriel or a way to show indepth coverage in reliable sources for Gabriel.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:23, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The actress is not mentioned in The Huffington Post article. It is not even an 'entire article' about a character she played, it discusses various character who were 'overlooked and underrated' - so characters which didn't get much attention. Nothing to back notability there, for character or actress. Boleyn (talk) 12:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts: Gabriel is a Julliard grad and a current American actor who has been in a successful film. That is enough for a Wiki page, honestly. Saying she is insignificant is honestly racist. She wasn't an extra in Get Out. Especially with the recent Wiki campaign to combat the deletion of women's contributions, I am really shocked that this is even a question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.254.207.93 (talk) 19:47, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No one has suggested she was an 'extra', and to accuse me of racism for nominating the article for deletion is ridiculous. How does she meet WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG? That is the question we are looking at. Boleyn (talk) 19:54, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The two principal opposing points of view are :

These lists are of poor quality and little substance and we should take a stand against paid editors creating junk
When viewed on their own merits, and ignoring the paid editing element which may be worth blocks and bans in itself, the articles have sufficient potential to be improved if somebody bothers to do it (as principally advanced by Beyond My Ken).

Essentially, I don't see much middle ground between these two camps; indeed, the conversation has got heated on occasion through the debate.

Northamerica1000 has suggested a further activity is to selectively merge + redirect some or all of these articles, which can be done through normal editing. The suggestion to take the conversation to Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability of Timeline articles is also worthwhile. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Amazon.com[edit]

I would also like to nominate the following articles for the same reasons:

~~Timeline of Nortel~~ Nomination withdrawn. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have deliberately not added the usual search links for the additional articles, as this is not a notability issue and there's not much point - these are all well-known companies. Exemplo347 (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Exemplo347 it looks like you have not bundled Timeline of Microsoft correctly. - Bri (talk) 20:49, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, apologize for not noticing you were in process. - Bri (talk) 21:03, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My fault totally - I should have stuck {{Under Construction}} or something at the top! Exemplo347 (talk) 21:06, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete forthwith except Nortel (not created by this team). Enthusiastically endorse proposed deletion of the lot. While the debate circles around and around at ANI, the process of mass deletion appears to be our only remedy for these critically flawed articles. I have noted the problems at COIN (permlink), but repeat here again in brief: they are essentially a walled garden created by the paid editing team as described. They show evidence of a pattern of citations to really bad sources such as blogs, wikis, and advertorial-ish aggregators, and even in one case I found a source that openly declares it takes payment for product reviews. In another case I developed evidence that there was SEO involved in the link placement, with measurable effects for one of the links inserted (see evidence here). In another case we have a Timeline of Microsoft which duplicates an existing History of same. In another case which I have privately communicated to admins due to privacy concerns, there is evidence of extensive refspamming/SEO by the same editors for immigration services companies. Basic content issues; regardless of the outcome at ANI regarding this team in particular and future of paid editing in general, this deletion is urgently needed. - Bri (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note Looks like the Nortel one was mistakenly included by me. I'm not sure how to properly rectify my oversight though. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Exemplo347: You could probably just strike it out and say "withdrawn by nom" on that line. It should be clear to other !voters and to the closing admin. - Bri (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Whoops! Exemplo347 (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bri's "evidence" that Simfish was involved in a scheme to use Wikipedia for SEO is extremely weak. All it shows is that Simfish temporarily added a link to "The History of Computing Project" (thocp.net) in one article, a very reasonable thing to do in an article about the history of Microsoft. I'm not taking any position about whether the articles should be saved or deleted yet, but the attitude of Bri, TeeVeeed, and Guy is unnecessarily hostile towards the editors who are the primary creators of these articles. Jrheller1 (talk) 21:01, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if the admission that Simfish is being paid to edit isn't strong enough evidence, nothing will be. Let's focus on the issue at hand, before this discussion starts getting derailed. The talk page of this AfD is probably the place to discuss these side issues. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vipul is involved in the technology industry in Silicon Valley. He claims to be paying editors (including Simfish) to improve the quality of technology industry articles on Wikipedia solely for philanthropic reasons. This is very believable to me. Shouldn't other editors be assuming good faith? There's nothing wrong with some curious editors investigating a little deeper, but so far nobody has proved that there is anything nefarious about what Vipul is doing. Jrheller1 (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Like I've already said, the Talk page is the place to discuss this side issue. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:33, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How can this be a "side issue" when Bri uses the "evidence" of an SEO optimization scheme using Wikipedia in his deletion rationale? Jrheller1 (talk) 21:37, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well he's not the nominatior, I am, and my rationale is based on the fact that the editor running the paid editing team said openly that he'd paid Simfish to create these articles. Read the ANI thread for the info. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And your rationale is crap. "no encyclopaedic purpose" is not a valid rationale to delete (WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC). Nor is the fact that it was created by a paid-editing team. If there's no notability issue, what then is the rationale to delete? Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So !vote, or don't. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:15, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree with all of the above also WP:COATRACK issues and duplicate content. TeeVeeed (talk) 21:09, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Preliminary comment - I notice that Template:Technology company timelines largely overlaps these:

Some others were deleted already, apparently as a part of this process. Although Timeline of Nortel is presently withdrawn from the AFD above (and Timeline of Yahoo is not listed), I have to ask what people think about it. Is the difference in authorship the only reason to keep that and drop these others?? Among other things, we might consider whether the template is something to keep around because we could populate it with legitimate articles, or whether it should be withdrawn because such articles are inherently problematic.

I think we have to look hard at the whole "Timeline of..." idea in general. The paid network seemed to use it as a loophole, and it really is one, and that will not go unnoticed by future paid editors whether openly declared or clandestine. Is a timeline an encyclopedia article at all?? Is a timeline inherently and innately a so-called "coatrack" because anyone can, at any time, add another point to it without documenting any high-level relationship to the other data? Or is that just like other articles, and this is just a minor format difference? These problems may be most immediate with major companies and paid editors, but we need someone to really riddle out the philosophy here - I haven't really been able to think deeply enough to follow it. Wnt (talk) 22:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like something to discuss on a relevant noticeboard (although I can't think of one) - we should avoid turning this AfD into something more than it is - a discussion regarding the deletion of the specific articles I have included, for the specific reasons I've noted in the nomination. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wnt The same thought occurred to me. It seems you have two choices that result in a sound timeline. Choice one, everything in it must be sourced to another RS that has its own timeline. Choice two, allow ad-hoc additions. If choice two, then you're relying on the wisdom of crowds to winnow out the crap and result in something that substantially matches our collective sense of what is important. In these cases, IMO, the origins of the articles, their relatively unseen nature (until recently), and the lack of many contributors has resulted in questionable content. A timeline could in theory be encyclopedic but these are too broken to fix with reasonable effort. - Bri (talk) 23:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this spam. Guy (Help!) 10:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even assuming that these lists weren't made in poor faith by paid editors, there's an extraordinary amount of listcruft in here. Unlike notable events like the sinking of the Titanic or 9/11, I see very little evidence to think that sources consider a *timeline* of these things in and of itself to be an actual thing of note. Anything that's legitimately encyclopedic here can go on the main pages or integrated into the History forks, where applicable. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 14:21, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. Bri (talk) 17:12, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - My first impulse was to delete them as being promotional, my second was to delete them as being the fruits of paid editing (which I am strongly opposed to), my third impulse was to agree with Guy that they are spam, but after looking through them, I think they serve a valuable encyclopedic purpose in charting the history of the technology companies which are now pretty much driving our lives and have tremendous influence on our financial and investment institutions. In many ways they are sculpting an emerging world culture. CoffeeCrumbs may well be correct that there's listcruft in there, but that can be taken care of by the normal editing process. I think that in another era, a Timeline of U.S. Steel or a Timeline of General Motors would have been invaluable information, and I think these serve the same purpose for our time. I am absolutely pained that they were created by paid editing, and I (personally, were I an admin) would have no compunction about banning those editors from contributing to them as having COIs, but here they are, and we have to judge them as we have them. Adding up the pros and cons, I come up with a "keep". Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Beyond My Ken don't know if you are watching this thread, but what you please reconsider in light of comments below? i have thought about four different ways about these as well. thx Jytdog (talk) 16:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Beyond My Ken raises very good points here. Articles on major companies would be improved by summarizing their histories in timelines and linking to their corresponding timeline articles.--I am One of Many (talk) 00:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No, BMK raised one point (not "points"): that they "serve a valuable purpose in charting the history". However he did not give any reason why chopping up an article into little boxes would "serve a valuable purpose in charting the history", and I cannot think of one either. zzz (talk) 01:19, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did wonder about that. BMK is a fantastic editor, but I fail to see why content that already exists in the relevant articles has been turned into "Timeline" articles by paid editors, and I fail to see why this redundant information should be kept. Exemplo347 (talk) 01:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Many thanks for the compliment.) Gathering disparate information to one place where it is much more easily digestible is a service to our readers, in my opinion. Much information in the encyclopedia is repeated in different articles, according to the focus of the article. History articles, for instance, are (and should be) duplicative in part. I don't see that as being a flaw. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:45, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let me also add that my !vote is based on the presupposition that these list-articles are basically accurate (I noted that they were fairly extensively referenced), but given Drmies' closing remarks on this AN/I thread about Vipul, if that's not the case I would have to re-think matters. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:17, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all these appear to fork articles in a hopelessly overdetailed manner. We do not need to repeat and source every press release, merger, product launch and/or partnership; and anything worth covering can be better covered in prose within the main articles. VQuakr (talk) 05:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is not a !vote!!! No valid rationale has been advanced to delete. "Unencyclopedic" is not a valid rationale. (WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC). Nor is the fact that it was created by a paid-editing team. No evidence that the articles are spam. No notability issue; the subject is notable. Therefore, "keep" is the only option. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: notability was specifically identified as not an issue in the nomination, but since you have claimed the inverse: how do you assess notability in a "timeline of x" article? VQuakr (talk) 06:59, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC, a section of an essay, does not claim that "unencyclopedic" is a bad reason for deletion - just not a specific enough one if presented as an argument for deletion without context (which is not the case here). The essay links to WP:NOT, which is policy. A section of that policy, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, applies here. To quote: "...merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." VQuakr (talk) 06:59, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: good points that logically follow from policy. --I am One of Many (talk) 07:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The articles in question meet the list notability criterea (WP:LISTN). It does not meet any of the items specified in WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Redundancy is not an argument for deletion of a timeline; the Timeline of the Manhattan Project contains nothing that is not in the Manhattan Project article. It presents the information in an alternate form that provides real value to the readers. We have policies and procedures for a reason. To pervert WP:NOT in order to !vote anything out of the encyclopaedia to make a WP:POINT is appalling. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:28, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are many reasons to delete an article. Notability is merely #8 out of 14. Building an indiscriminate and spammy list is a perfectly good criterion for deletion. - Bri (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In what way are they indiscriminate or spammy? K.Bog 09:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bog, as a random example of indiscriminate choices for inclusion : Timeline of Microsoft includes a $250M purchase last year, but fewer than half the nine billion-dollar acquisitions [1]. Most notably missing, Visio, their first mega purchase, and aQuantive which became a $6 billion write-off. This calls into question BMK's premise or supposition they are "basically accurate". I've already noted the spammy links reminiscent of SEO elsewhere, and privately to admins as mentioned above. If you look at article histories you can see many cases where I or others have removed eye-popping sources like [2][3][4] etc. etc. More specific source concerns listed at Talk:Timeline of digital preservation. Though not bundled in this AfD, it is symptomatic of the shoddy and questionable construction engaged in by the same paid team. - Bri (talk) 23:08, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: per WP:LISTN, what sources have you found that discuss the time data points of each of these companies as a group or set? The last sentence of your 12:28 post is bizarre: citing a portion of WP:NOT in a delete !vote is not novel, and your accusation of WP:POINT is spurious. VQuakr (talk) 19:28, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For Amazon.com, see One Click by Richard Brandt. For Microsoft, see Hard Drive by Wallace and Erickson and Idea Man by Allen. Etc. K.Bog 09:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because they don't make Wikipedia worse. What kind of 'encyclopedic purpose' does one need? I just don't see the harm in leaving the articles where they are. They can be tagged and improved by interested editors if there are problems specific to the articles themselves. K.Bog 19:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You "don't see the harm"? Is that a policy-based rationale? Exemplo347 (talk) 20:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying I don't see what the policy-based rationale is for deletion. You can't just apply the term "unencyclopedic" to whatever isn't good enough. It has to be covered by WP:NOT or something like that, to confirm that there is a need to get it off the site. K.Bog 20:07, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These articles are lists of redundant factoids, created in bad faith by people who didn't disclose their paid-editing status for years - content that isn't suitable for any kind of encyclopaedia posted by people acting in bad faith, who only confessed what they were doing when confronted with undisputable evidence. There is no selection criteria, it's just whatever references they're paid to pop onto the article. Exemplo347 (talk) 20:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a policy guideline on whether Wikipedia editing should be a Markov process? My opinion is that it should be. The process by which an article was written has no bearing on whether it's worth including in the encyclopedia. K.Bog 20:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See for instance how you put the timeline of Nortel up for deletion but then removed it as soon as you realized it was actually created by a different group of editors. The quality of the article for the encyclopedia is apparently not your concern. K.Bog 19:24, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note "I don't see the harm" is on the list of arguments to avoid at AfD, so other editors should avoid using it. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:00, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Beyond my Ken. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The idea that these articles are "spam" or "promotional" is absurd. There is zero "promotion" of these technology companies being done in these timeline articles. These timeline articles are just a convenient summary of the history of these companies for readers interested in the business aspect of the Silicon Valley centered technology industry. Possibly Timeline of Microsoft could be merged with History of Microsoft, but Timeline of Microsoft is definitely easier to read and digest key facts quickly from than History of Microsoft.

If it were proven that Vipul and the editors he paid were engaging in an SEO scheme or some other nefarious activities on Wikipedia, then of course they should be banned. But this has no relevance to whether these timeline articles should be kept or deleted. Jrheller1 (talk) 19:00, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

draftify The items in each of these pages, are what I would expect to find on the relevant company's website on their history page. If you review them, you will not find much of anything about failures or negative things (you do find ~some~). Pretty much just positive stuff like funding rounds, product launches, acquisitions, etc. They fail NPOV on that account. The more I look into Vipul's enterprise the more I find very clear advocacy at worst, and more commonly just mediocre editing done by high school kids or young adults who seemed to be modelling what they found on corporate or organization websites. That is not what we do here. There is also a lot of spammy sourcing in these things.

These pages should be draftified, and improved in terms of content and sourcing, and then put through AfC as they should have in the first place. This mass of promotional content should not be in mainspace. And there is ... interesting judgement, or it should perhaps be called WP:OR, in the choices that the paid editors made about what to put in the (odd) "Big picture" section they put at the top which function as a sort of WP:LEAD.... There is also a different level of OR in the selection of items to include -- assembling a history based on sources that report various events is problematic in itself - the items included in the timeline really should be sourced from, and summarize, what others have written about what events were significant in the companies' history.... not just events that editors found reported somewhere and decided were significant in the history of the company. Jytdog (talk) 00:14, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to underline this. What are the independent sources discuss the actual history of say WhatsApp? The Timeline of WhatsApp appears to me to be almost entirely OR, assembled by the editor to create a history here in WP. Jytdog (talk) 14:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would also support delete. boy i am of various minds on this. The mixture of cruft and useful stuff makes it hard. The amount of work to clean up the mess pushes me toward delete. More than anything I want these the heck out of mainspace as they stand. Jytdog (talk) 03:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Userfy, improve, and submit to AfC, per Jytdog. If no one is willing to take on improvement outside of mainspace, then delete outright as promotional POV forks.--Wikimedes (talk) 04:49, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, so what if they were created by paid editors, this is the sort of thing Wikipedia is good for. A store for trivial information. I fail to see how this harms Wikipedia.Slatersteven (talk) 14:13, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again with the "I don't see the harm" argument - the "harm" is described at WP:HARMLESS - it's an argument to avoid, as I've already pointed out. Secondly, Wikipedia is not a store for indiscriminate factoids. Exemplo347 (talk) 14:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's interesting that two of the keep !voters have a stated affinity for trivia in articles (also kbog's userpage). This is counter to WP:INDISCRIMINATE and not a policy based reason to retain any article. - Bri (talk) 15:37, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And my argument was more then just "its harmless" the point is I can see this as begin a benefit with no negative counter point. Also I did not say "indiscriminate" I said trivial. Trivial in the sense of "non essential" not pointless. I can see no evidence this violates any policy, it merely does not obey a very strict interpretation of some polices (after all this can be allied to all lists). I would find a listed history like this of a company I was (say) doing homework on very useful. Is that not what Wikipedias prime function is, to act as a source for useful information?Slatersteven (talk) 16:20, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One more time. It actually is indiscriminate, in the exact way described by the user essay Wikipedia:Discriminate vs indiscriminate information which backs up WP:NOT, and is linked from it. WP:NOT is a valid policy on which to reject this article. Here's why. The essay says a collection without distinctions is junk. There are exactly zero criteria in the articles considered by this AfD to evaluate any random news story mentioning amazon.com, microsoft, etc. to either include the event in the timeline or reject it. This is reflected in the bizarre inclusion of small acquisitions and not larger ones as I pointed out. It becomes an indiscriminate matter of taste or attention of anyone who approaches the timeline article. The timeline articles are all clearly poor coatracks for any random thought someone has about the company they cover. This fits the essay description "assembled without care or making distinctions" perfectly. - Bri (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An essay is nit policy. All this is an argument for improvement, not deletion.Slatersteven (talk) 18:33, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven: Yes, I described it correctly as a "user essay". But it still provides useful guidance, and has been seen as useful by other editors as well. This is why Discriminate vs indiscriminate is linked from WP:NOT. Do you have anything to say about how these articles correspond to "w/o care or distinction"? - Bri (talk) 04:21, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because this is not "words and/or names were typed as they were thought" (they are in chronological order, they are not "random keystrokes on the keyboard ", and they are not a "ordinary list of household items" (or to put it another way this is not a random list of related objects, it is a clear chronology of events). This I do not see how it fails "w/o care or distinction", but again it does not matter of this fails ""w/o care or distinction"" as that is not a policy.Slatersteven (talk) 11:01, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and trim. There is some useful information here, but not enough to merit a stand alone list. All of these timelines should be merged into the articles on their respective companies, and then trimmed to eliminate the truly cruft bits. Blueboar (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would support this as well. Jytdog (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all on the presumption that they are profoundly POV given the immense COI issues. I would also be amenable to moving them into user space or draft space so that neutral editors can review the articles in more depth to determine what, if anything, can be salvaged from them; I am ambivalent as to whether such an effort would result in restoring one or more articles or merging content into other articles as Slatersteven suggests above. ElKevbo (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now, and then consider selectively merging into the respective main articles. Some of these timelines contain relevant historical content. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note I'd have no issue with the whole bunch of articles being moved to Draft space, trimmed of the refs that the creator was paid to add, and then put through the Articles for Creation process by any editor who was interested (naturally that shouldn't include any of the paid-editing ponzi scheme members). As a side note, the creator of these pages has been indefinitely blocked from editing. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:33, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History of spammy SEO linking by Vipul[edit]

Also her work with the national organisation for photography in Canada where she devleoped the business practices for All canadian photographers. Please note that many years of her work and articles were published before there was internet so many publications and references are not online. Regarding "inherited notability. In Kharens case this does not apply as you do not photograph or get the opportunity at this level to unless you are notable enough and your work is of the highest calibre and reputation. No one hires for this type of photography because of who they photograph alone These clients (magazines and major film and television studios and nusicians) only hire from a small group of the top photographers in the world with that preceding reputation because there is no margin for error. Either budget or image wise. Kharens work stands for itself so I would hope that any one reviewing this page also has experience in reviewing photography as hers is stand alone and unique. Kharens images are all over the internet and the world and she is credited in many cases as witnessed by a google search..

This page consists of a small explanation of the who came up with the nomenclature and a discussion saying it was not included in the main article. More appropriate on the Talk:Omega-3 fatty acid talk page and where appropriate in that article. Declined prod. noq (talk) 19:00, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article appears to rely heavily on the use of other Wikipedia articles as sources. If Ralph Holman is notable, then he ought to be the subject of an article about his own achievements, rather than an article about whether his accomplishments are recognized in other Wikipedia articles. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is messy a mix of a biography and work product, via synthesis, pardon the pun. Even if kept, it would have to be split and each part renamed. I'm not convinced that either part is notable, that is the named and namer. Bearian (talk) 18:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If he meets WP:BIO, Ralph T. Holman could be the subject of his own article. The present article is messy and un-encyclopedic and should be deleted, but some of the information could be merged into Omega-3 fatty acid. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 21:04, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Because it bombed" is not a valid deletion reason. We have plenty of sources in the article about the entity's rise and fall. We have plenty of business failures here (off the top of my head Pets.com and Boo.com for instance) and WP:N is easily clinched because of the subjects who backed the concept.

The result was Keep. I realize this is going to be unpopular with most of the participants here, but I'm actually going to side with Waters.Justin—in that it reflects poorly on Wikipedia to entertain these type of nominations, period. And this should have been closed sooner on these grounds (I would have, if I knew about it). Merge discussions can be taken to the talk page, where I suspect they are likely to succeed.

Human sexuality spectrum[edit]

Merge with human sexuality. This page is mostly a list of definition which are explored in more depth at human sexuality. DrStrauss talk 12:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Sexual orientation, which is a better target. (Human sexuality does not cover the "spectrum".) I agree that the nomination lacks merit, but I don't think it's better to kick this discussion to its talk page. Also consider Heterosexual–homosexual continuum, which is similar in scope and another merge candidate. czar 21:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as an invalid nomination. If in-process merge seems appropriate, then it can be considered on the talk page where greater participation by interested editors is likely. It appears that there may be enough differentiation that there is value in a separate article. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to an invalid and ideologically motivated deletion request. I don't believe Wikipedia should entertain ideologically motivated request for deletion. Also see new references. A Content Split from sexual orientation is justified. See WP:SPLIT. Waters.Justin (talk) 01:31, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Eggishorn and Waters.Justin: the fact that the nomination is invalid has no bearing on whether a discussion can be held, especially since other users have commented with valid concerns. There is no reason to close the discussion on procedural grounds. ansh 666 04:52, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per WP:NPOL, a person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election she didn't win. If you cannot demonstrate and source that she was already notable enough for an article on some other notability criterion independent of her candidacy, then she has to win the election to get an article out of it, not merely be on the ballot. And the only other way around that is to show that she garnered a volume of coverage extremely disproportionate to what any candidate for office could routinely expect to receive — the Christine O'Donnell test — but the volume of sourcing shown here isn't even a fraction of one per cent of enough to clear that bar.

Knowledge acquisition (philosophy)[edit]

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

The term "knowledge acquisition" usually refers to collecting knowledge for expert or knowledge based systems. There is a stub article for that topic now: Knowledge acquisition(computer science). When I google "knowledge acquisition philosophy" the first 10 articles are either on knowledge acquisition and expert systems or about Epistemology (the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge). Epistemology is of course a valid topic and there is already a very good article on it with a section on knowledge acquisition that has little if anything in common with this article. IMO anything of value in this existing article (although frankly I don't think there is anything) should be merged with the Epistemology article and this article should be deleted.

This current article is completely point of view with no references that are relevant to the article or qualify as valid references except the last reference by Tom Gruber which is a valid reference but has nothing to do with what is in this article but rather is about knowledge acquisition for knowledge-based systems. One other references is to a short article on a Neurology blog about how the brain processes attention. The topic is completely irrelevant to this article and the blog is not a legitimate reference. Another source is to a philosophy dictionary site in a section on topics beginning with "P". Again not a valid reference and I couldn't find any of the definitions that were relevant. The last reference is again from an unknown web site. The author and sponsoring group is unknown, it seems like it may be a student paper. It seems to be about knowledge acquisition for psychology but the author seems confused as they reference knowledge representation schemes used for AI software but which no psychologist believes are direct models for human memory. Again not relevant (nothing about Aristotle in any of these articles) and not a reliable source. The 16 items in the Methods section (at least half the article) for example are completely OR, there is no reference and the selection of items seems clearly to be one editor's opinion.

John Hoye[edit]

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

Article was created in 2016 by Johnhoye1 (so a COI). It was tagged for speedy deletion on creation;d the tag was removed by Johnhoye1. Johnhoye1 has been the only contributor to the article's text, and has barely edited any other articles. The bulk of this article is completely non-notable (a music career that went nowhere for example, associated with musicians who were mostly not notable either) or hints at connections with notable bands that he, personally, does not have. As an actor, has played only bit parts. Emeraude (talk) 10:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep IMDB is a reliable secondary source, and as a regular on 75 episodes of the Doris Day Show with ~13 million viewers according to Nielsen he passes WP:NACTOR. And though it's apples and oranges, that seems a lot more notable than the articles about micro towns of population <100 that are all over Wikipedia.Jwray (talk) 07:23, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jwray: Firstly, IMDb is not a "reliable secondary source" – see WP:RS/IMDb and WP:Citing IMDb. Second, WP:NACTOR is very clear that multiple significant roles are required – The Doris Day Show gets the article subject to just one. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - 75 episodes is "multiple significant roles". This rule seems intended to exclude e.g. a guy who played an alien one episode of star trek, rather than core characters on popular long running series. If Levar Burton had no other role besides Geordi on Star Trek TNG, he would still be notable. Jwray (talk) 04:33, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jwray - this is nonsense; there is no comparison between Starke (whose tragic early death does not confer notability) and LeVar Burton. As far as "If Levar Burton had no other role besides Geordi on Star Trek TNG, he would still be notable" -- that's your personal opinion. Wikipedia is not a memorial site for long forgotten child actors whose careers could fit on an index card. Quis separabit? 03:18, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rms125a is quite right – this is an absurd reading of WP:NACTOR. Starke's part on The Doris Day Show is a single role. Yes, it's a "main role", which does count as "one significant role", but that would be true if it were 13 episodes, or 200 episodes – either way, it's one role. WP:NACTOR demands multiple "significant" roles. The Doris Day Show gets this subject to only one significant role. This article should be deleted, and then replaced with a redirect to The Doris Day Show. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:13, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Keep This school is K-grade 8. Based on common outcomes it needs coverage meeting either GNG or ORG (inclusive OR). Current sources are almost all not independent. Searches find plenty of coverage of related fund raising concerts. Those I've read have only brief mentions of the school itself. ~~Happy to reconsider if~~ better sources are found, ~~for now it fails both GNG and ORG.~~ Gab4gab (talk) 16:02, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or possibly merge. The annual concert series is probably notable in and of itself; there's hundreds of sources about the series in reliable sources, some of which do discuss the school's educational activities as well, e.g. [14]. There's so much coverage that it's difficult to wade through for other coverage about the school's activities, but I have found a few such items. Here is a 2001 Computerworld article about the school winning an award from that magazine; it doesn't even mention the concerts or the Youngs.

Non-notable amateur sports team, fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. PROD removed citing coverage in local newspaper, although only one source given; I presume such coverage will be of the WP:ROUTINE variety.

Comment - in a relatively small isolated community such as this, the football club seems to be of at least local significance, receiving discussion both on the Isle of Bute and the Rothesay, Bute pages. I'm not sure if this is a keep or not, I want to spend some time researching further. But rather than a delete, I think at the minimum the outcome should be merge some of the text and redirect to Rothesay, Bute - which I agree is not normally what do - but there is already a paragraph on the team there, in what is otherwise a fairly small article. Nfitz (talk) 16:35, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:FOOTYN, no indication the club has played in a national competition, no indication of any other achievements garnering sufficient significant, independent coverage to satisfy GNG. Would not want any content merged, given the relatively insignificant nature of the club, the brief mention in the town article is sufficient. Fenix down (talk) 13:58, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't thinking of much more merge than adding a sentence or so, with one or two references. I was going to clean up the existing text, but I see that someone just beat me to that. I'd think a redirect could stay in place. Nfitz (talk) 18:31, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've never really seen the argument above before. (The sources don't meet the redirect policy). What on earth does it mean? What requirement is there that sources meet WP:R?

Thanks for that clarification, WP:RS makes a lot more sense than your previous mention of the redirect policy.. But have you read it? Because if ñWikipedia is not to be considered a reliable source. While Liga Nacional de Básquet is not included in the list at WP:NBASKETBALL that is considered automatically notable, Argentina (largely the LNB) produced the 2004 Olympic champions. Argentina is the only country other than the US to have achieved this pinnacle of success in the last 30 years! So, instead of just reciting a poorly thought out list, replete with leagues from countries that have never won the Olympics, we should change NBASKETBALL; this is obviously an oversight. Jacona (talk) 12:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jacona It's true. I feel that was uncivil towards other readers, but I don't apologize to you. Given the context, that looked like a typographical error ("typo") all the way—WP:RS is implied. When I saw your remarks I was embarrassed—and amused at your conclusion.

I have no way, besides inclusion in Spanish Wikipedia or a google search, to evaluate an Argentine source. Also, the quality of the website and context—what else is on the site? That website was not convincing, and in tandem with its lack of notability, that sealed my conclusion.

As far as inclusion of the Argentine league in WP:NBASKETBALL, your argument sounds convincing, but I know little about international basketball. Why don't you propose the change on that Talk page, and publicize it? Tapered (talk) 02:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Argentine league is a fully professional league, as it appears in the Wikiproject page and he was the MVP of it. We need to make a serious review about the leagues that appear as notable, as there are several professional leagues that do not appear (e.g., second divisions in several European countries or women's leagues). Article must be improved and I'm sure it is easy to find references for it. Asturkian (talk) 08:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~: First off, he absolutely does not meet WP:NBASKETBALL as it is currently written, which over the years has appropriately gotten stricter. @Asturkian: the list you refer to is not currently referenced by NBASKETBALL nor is playing in a fully professional league a criterion in NBASKETBALL due to many "fully professional leagues" not generating enough independent coverage to for individual players to meet WP:GNG. Currently, the two sources I have seen for this player appear to be generally routine sources, which are specifically listed as not usable for passing the GNG standards on their own. So unless other sources come to light (my Spanish language search has not shown much), he fails GNG, the only notability guideline that matters. So everyone who has commented as Keep on this subject, please appropriately familiarize yourself with NBASKETBALL and prove that he meets GNG instead. Yosemiter (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The First League of Argentina is one of the strongest in South America, and I fail to see why an MVP there (and player for the national team as well) shouldn't be considered at least as notable as anyone who has played a single game in some of the league mentioned in WP:NBASKETBALL. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 13:27, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Axolotl Nr.733: Ignore NBASKETBALL in this instance (as he does not meet it as currently written) and bring up proposed changes to that guideline at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball if you feel they are insufficient (they sometimes are). This is not for opinions on strength of league, but whether or not the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (straight from the WP:GNG). Do you have any sources to back up your claim other than "he should be" because he was MVP of a league (any league for that matter)? Yosemiter (talk) 20:20, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yosemiter: *Sigh* So there's the old argumentative twist of pretending as if the specific notability guidelines and the GNG were completely separate (or even contradicted each other). WP:NSPORT is an extension or interpretation of the GNG. In the case of sportspeople, the level at which they compete is central to what makes them notable or not. If you really think we shouldn't discuss it here at all, congratulations, you've just disqualified yourself from any serious conversation on the topic. But if you want to find significant coverage, what about starting with which appears to be one of Argentina's leading newspapers, La Nación? Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 21:33, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Axolotl Nr.733: I never said they were separate and my intent of that statement was that NBASKETBALL is supposed to be a set of guidelines that nearly guarantees that the player will meet GNG. Since you suggested he should meet NBASKETBALL even though the league and tournaments are not currently listed as auto-qualifiers, I suggested you bring up the possible changes (with evidence) to the specific WikiProject that moderates the guidelines to have them added. That is standard procedure, so I am not sure how that disqualifies me from the subject at hand, which is whether or not Nicolás Aguirre is notable. In order to meet GNG, I asked for reliable and non-routine sources, which are what is needed to meet the GNG. You then provided a link to a reliable national level newspaper where he is tagged. He gets several routine mentions in the game coverage, which shows significant coverage on the team and league. But I am still looking (and perhaps you could help) for an article that covers Nicolás Aguirre in depth, not just a statement about his scoring the most points on a given night or the statement that he won MVP (i.e. a full article about him winning the award and why, not just a mention that he won it). The again, maybe I am personally just too strict about several mentions constituting as "significant coverage". Yosemiter (talk) 22:14, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're suggesting to take the second step before the first one, i.e. adjusting a guideline to an agreement we haven't reached yet (and, as far as I can see, aren't necessarily trying to reach here because it's still just one single article we're discussing). However, what I'm concerned about is that NBASKETBALL, apparently, has lost the "softer" kind of requirements (i.e., "similar" leagues to the ones mentioned there) it had contained the last time I had taken part in such a discussion. That's okay as long as guidelines are generally interpreted as just being "rules of thumb" (as WP:NSPORT declares), and I think that's what you're missing here. Concerning coverage, this article from another, smaller newspaper is the most extensive one I could find concerning winning the MVP. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The "keep" commenters on this page are all attempting to circumvent reasonable Wikipedia guidelines and practices, which maintain content integrity, and a sort of order. Guidelines have developed—they're not sacrosanct, and they do evolve. As WP:NBASKETBALL reads today, Aguirre fails WP:N, largely because the Argentine league isn't recognized as top tier. Yosemiter and myself seem to agree that the Argentine league probably ought to be in that list. The process to change it takes place in the confines of the Basketball Project, not here. Instead, the 'keepers' use convoluted rationales, misconstrue guidelines, or advocate ignoring guidelines. Please delete this article, and force the 'keepers' to work to change the guidelines.

Two of the keep commenters cited gng. Jacona (talk) 02:19, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per your suggestion, added Liga Nacional de Básquet to WP:NBASKETBALL. Jacona (talk) 02:21, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JaconaFrere: I disagree with adding Liga Nacional de Básquet to criterion #1 of NBASKETBALL because we are having enough trouble deciding if the MVP of said league is even notable, much less all players and coaches. If anything, this AfD would place it into criterion #3.

What I was getting at with my comments and to Axolotl Nr.733 were that since it is not currently listed, then proving that Nicolás Aguirre meets GNG is the only requirement. If Aguirre meets GNG then this is the first step in setting the precedent for including as part of discussion to include in NBASKETBALL. Axolotl has provided some evidence to his proof of notability. All the others you mention that cite GNG did so incorrectly by citing only routine articles. The best article provided thus far was the El Liberal MVP profile of Aguirre found by Axolotl. If this is sufficient as a reliable source (of which I am not the best to vouch for Argentinian newspapers) and the multiple mentions in La Nación (routine, but reliable) then I could see him passing GNG and to NOT delete his article.

With that said, I am removing your addition to criterion #1 of NBASKETBALL until it has been discussed further through the proper channels and defined as to which tier of accomplishment the league belongs. If we agree that Aguirre is indeed notable the first step has been taken to adding this #3, but not yet proven that all MVP and other honors are notable players yet. Yosemiter (talk) 03:36, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yosemiter: @Rlendog: Using my method—does it have an article in Wikipedia Español?—El Liberal is a reliable source. Tapered (talk) 05:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Tapered: Then based on that assumption, and the several mentions other sources, I change my analysis to a weak keep for Aguirre based on likely passing the minimum requirements for GNG. The El Liberal article should be added to the Aguirre article as a reference for meeting GNG. As part of this AfD, I looked into the other MVPs of LNB and almost all of them passed NBASKETBALL through either NBA or Olympic participation. It seems likely that players that earn MVP in this league are notable (although maybe not for playing in this league directly). A discussion should be started at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports) and notify Wikiproject:Basketball of the proposition. Yosemiter (talk) 17:15, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JaconaFrere: I did not suggest that you unilaterally change a Wikipedia guideline. At least you didn't mention that with the edit. Tapered (talk) 04:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are a few problems with this nomination. I don't necessarily agree with the recent change to Basketball notability. I suspect that the Argentina league, which has provided several players directly to the NBA, including stars, should probably be considered a top-tier league. But even if it is not, the MVP of the top league in a country that cares about the sport should not really be questioned as to notability. In WP:NHOCKEY, for example, winners of top honors in not just 2nd tier leagues but 3rd tier leagues are assumed to be notable. And I don't think there is any question that Argentina cares about basketball. I also don't necessarily agree with Tapered's criteria for notability of a non-English source, although I understand the rationale and it could make sense as a screen. But that said, reliability is not the same as notability, and a reliable source may be too small to be notable. Or it may be notable but no one has bothered to write an article about it yet (that is the case for English sources as well, but Spanish Wikipedia is about 1/4 the size of English). And of course there are notable sources that are not reliable (e.g., blogs and self-publishing houses.) So judgment is always needed here.

That said, I think that the elcomercial.com site in Jacona's original post is likely notable, because it is not a blog and while it does not have a Spanish Wikipedia article I see it's publisher Amacom Publishing listed as source in other Spanish Wikipedia articles. But with respect to Aguirre, there seems to be a lot more. For example, this, whose publisher does have a Spanish Wikipedia article, this, whose publisher does have a Spanish Wikipedia article, and a little coverage here, whose publisher seems to have a Spanish Wikipedia article (and none of these appear to be blogs or self-published). So I think he passes GNG easily but I think the basketball notability guidelines need to be updated to either be more inclusive of leagues like Argentina's or at least of the more prominent players in such leagues (sort of like Hockey's 2nd tier leagues). Rlendog (talk) 16:36, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Aguirre has now been shown to have numerous WP:RS articles in the Argentine media. Kudos to Axolotl and Rlendog for unearthing the reliable sources. That's the basis for this keep. Aguirre was not a member of the 8th finishing Argentine team at the 2016 Summer Olympics, or the 11th finishing 2014 FIBA championship team. The 2004 team looks like a very golden generation team for Argentina. At least 3 of that team were still on the 2016 team. So, at the moment, the Argentine league doesn't look all that strong. (By the way, for Americans, the Argentine 2004 gold looks like proof that b-ball is team sport.) I stand by my previous complaint about the commenting of the 'keepers' who distorted and ignored the guidelines. Methinks they might have noticed Aguirre's absence from the national team for major tournaments. Tapered (talk) 01:59, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This previously was discussed for deletion with no consensus. The claim that there are enough reliable sources ignores what the sources are. A few are actual press releases, like the one from GLAAD, that are clearly not reliable. Other are local papers which I don't think in some cases met our requirements for reliable sources, and in any event they are covering extremely local events from a human interest perspective that is not the type of coverage that constitutes notability. Wikipedia is not meant to be an aggregate collection of articles on everyone who has ever gotten covered by weak local news stories, and that is all that exist on Aizumi.

Keep The San Gabriel Valley Tribune is a reliable source.

- The question is not weather the information is reliable. Wikipedia is meant to cover notable people, and that means that they are cared about enough by reliable sources to be written up.

They're definitely more promising, but I have seen plenty of articles be deleted with similar sources as not meeting GNG. I don't necessarily agree with that, it's more like I literally can't figure out where to stand on what does and doesn't constitute a WP:RS for the purposes of GNG.

Comment Nfitz has produced 4 ostensible supporting references. The Northwest Asian Weekly is seemingly reliable, BUT the mention in the article is limited, hence trivial. Nichi Bei and Infotrak are not reliable sources.

@Abductive: I don't follow your reasoning. You seem to suggest that User:Some Gadget Geek would be emboldened to nominate articles for deletion without any rationale. On its face, that seems rather like an ad hominem. Am I missing something? There is at least reference to rationale for this deletion, the "tags on the page". (That said, Some Gadget Geek, reference to Wikipedia policy would strengthen the nomination.)

For what it's worth, the couple of articles on Lists of English words by country or language of origin that I looked at appear to be stand-alone WP:GLOSSARIES within scope. I'm not convinced that List of wasei-eigo meets that bill, either in terms of styling or verifiability. I suppose one could argue to merge it to Wasei-eigo if reliable sources can be added.

I think we are saying essentially the same thing: use ('keep' per Abductive; 'merge' per Cnilep) the content if reliable sources can be added. I'm less optimistic, though, since Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Therefore sources would have to include encyclopedic information about the words as words, not simply definitions and etymologies.

Comment - Could any of the "cruft" voters please explain the difference between this and the Featured List List of celebrities involved with WrestleMania? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaryColemanFan (talk • contribs)

Pretty simple: WrestleMania is the largest pay per view event for the largest professional wrestling organization in the world with about a hundred known celebrities being actively involved in that one singular PPV. This article mashes every appearance on pay-per-view and TV and still can't come up with a fifth of the numbers the WrestleMania article has. TNA is a very distant second, like every other wrestling promotion in the world. The difference? WrestleMania, more specifically WWE, has been culturally influential and recognizable. Defunct promotions like WCW have more notability and "celebrity" involvement than TNA and don't have articles like these. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 23:55, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of WrestleMania's prestige comes from celebrity involvement. This goes back to Mr. T in the main event of the first one with Muhammad Ali as special guest referee, Liberace as timekeeper and even an appearance by the Rockettes! It's telling that this originally redirected to Impact Wrestling#Celebrity involvement, a section that no longer exists while WrestleMania 32 and WrestleMania 31 have sections on celebrity involvementLM2000 (talk) 00:17, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough of the citations are from notable, reliable sources. This establishes notability for the celebrity involvement. None of the other argument presented reference anything but an essay (which is neither a policy nor a guideline) and an "I don't think it's notable" statement. As for the reasons presented in response to my question, clearly TNA is hoping that celebrity involvement can add to its prestige, and being second to the biggest promotion in the world is clearly no small thing. Some of the references could stand to be replaced, but the article is notable as it currently stands. In fact, WCW should definitely have a similar article as well. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:47, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being second best means nothing if not notable or succesful in itself. Either way, is there actually enough here to warrant a separate article? This isn't even for celebrities that have appeared for one of their shows but just in general. It seems a bit indiscriminate to me.★Trekker (talk) 14:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't have to be successful. Notability can come from something not working repeatedly, to the point of being ridiculous (as shown by http://www.thesportster.com/wrestling/ranking-every-awful-celebrity-appearance-in-tna/ - from a site with an established crew of writers and editors; clearly they deem TNA's celebrity involvement to be reliable). I added a couple more -- after all, this is a promotion that brought in Billy Corgan as president and Tito Ortiz as a member of Aces & Eights. Today, I also added another Pro Wrestling Torch reference (from the WP:PW list of reliable sources), as well as one from WrestleView (also on that list), one from ESPN, and one from Spin Magazine. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sportster may have an established crew but they're far from a good source. I've seen them pretty much copy entire sections of of wikipedia with the most minute changes, might as well be a wikipedia copy site at times. Not that that's very relevant to this disscusion, since there are apparently other sources. And I said "notable or succesful" by the way. I know that notability has nothing to do with how "good" something is.★Trekker (talk) 15:23, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't really matter what references are used. The article has no substance and doesn't warrant its own article. We can establish the celebrities involvement with WrestleMania actually evolved it into the event it still is. Can TNA's article establish that the celebrity involvement was in any way significant for them? You can provide references that the events you are citing actually happened, yes, but not that the celebrity appearances were actually meaningful. Some stretch the very definition of this list. Tito Ortiz was a near full-time performer, not just a celebrity appearance. Billy Corgan is a celebrity, yes, but he was a shareholder and president. That's not a celebrity one-off appearance. That leaves sixteen celebrity appearances and I don't know how you can honestly justify a stand alone article for it. It's basically trivia. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 04:55, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some may wonder why Jesus, who spoke of turning the other cheek, would also say that he came not to bring peace, but to bring a sword. This article fails to quote any commentators as to what they think Jesus might have meant by that, but just says that the quote is "controversial ... because its meaning has many interpretations." What those interpretations are, the article doesn't say. This was apparently a once-interesting article, albeit reliant on original research (see [25]). Maybe someone familiar with the topic could rewrite the article based upon the various interpretations that religious leaders and scholars have suggested for the verse. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Draft space. There's a fair amount of material on the organization. Here's a listing from the on-line version of the Daily Graphic, one of Ghana's main newspapers -- Article listing. I haven't gone through all of them and I assume that quite a few are reporting routine matters. But not all of them -- there does appear to be some controversy over the scope of the 2006 law that created the Authority. Also, there are hits on Google Books. Here, too, I haven't checked all of them, but here's one where the author is discussing a dispute that went to Ghana's Supreme Court ([27]). I believe that a non-promotional, non-stub article can be written about this subject and I'm willing to be the one who does it. But there's no chance that I could do it within the time set for this Deletion discussion. Hence, my call for moving it to Draft space. If this is the result, I would re-write the article over the next few weeks (perhaps months) and submit the re-written article for review by someone at AfC (and, of course, I mean someone other than myself). By the way, the organization is also the subject of National Lottery Authority, which is not a duplicate of the article being discussed here and does not appear to have been written by the same editor. But it's in no better shape than the article being discussed here and the nominator might want to bundle this other article into the nomination.

Israel national bobsleigh team[edit]

Non-notable sports team. The country has not qualified for the Olympics ever. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:46, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep This is a national team with significant coverage in multiple Israeli major newspapers (albeit not always flattering…). Qualification for the Olympics was never the criteria for notability. -- IsaacSt (talk) 05:32, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IsaacSt, I don't see significant coverage in multiple major newspapers referenced in the article, although I did add one (wait, I added the other one too). A Google search shows 20 hits for this title, three for "Israeli National Bobsleigh Team", and 18 for "Israeli Bobsled and Skeleton Team". So far the article is supported by two news articles, one ~~personal~~ blog and a link to a sports statistics web page on which I didn't find information about the organization. If you know about some offline news reports, perhaps you could add references to them to the article.—Anne Delong (talk) 04:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References are indeed not included, which is definitely a point for improvement for anyone interested in developing this article, but per WP:NEXIST, notability is judged by the existence of sources - not their inclusion. Here are just sample articles about the bobsled team from all 3 largest Israeli national newspapers with online presence in 2004-2005: [28] [29] [30]. Since the skeleton team is more recent, just google Adam (AJ) Edelman or Brad Chalupski (even in English), and you’d see plenty. -- IsaacSt (talk) 07:34, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I incorporated those three into the article. I did find a number of English articles about Chalupski and Edelman, however, as far as I can see, none of the independently written ones say anything about the "Israel Bobsled and Skeleton team" or any similar words.—Anne Delong (talk) 13:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anne_Delong, I’m impressed with your dedication in improving this article. Like me, you probably didn't imagine you'd be spending that much time on bobsleigh... The challenge with your google searches (besides WP:NONENG) is that the sources hardly ever use the formal name of the national team. They instead use terms like "Israeli bobsled team" [31] [32] [33], "bobsleigh and skeleton team" [34], "Israeli skeleton team" [35], or "Team Israel to race skeleton" [36]. The online sources in the Hebrew language - and there are many - also suffer from the same issue. Regardless, it looks like the notability is clearly there, and if we want to continue the discussion on the improvement of the article - perhaps this should take place on the article's Talk page, instead. -- IsaacSt (talk) 19:00, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll wait for the results here, and if it passes leave it to someone with the appropriate language skills and sports knowledge. My concern is, is this really an actual team, with an official name? If so, what is it? Do the sports organizations in Israel acknowledge it? Or is it just some athletes who belong to an association or federation or whatever but compete separately? Skeleton is a solo event. The sources I've read all seem to disagree, and I am too ignorant about sports organizations to put them in context in order to vote Keep or Delete.—Anne Delong (talk) 22:01, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the bobsleigh national team decided to put skeleton under their roof, it doesn't make them any less of a team. BTW, each and every one of the sources mentioned above used the word "team", and there are many more. As for the official name, I could only find sources saying that this was the official name, which kind of hints that it may have changed??? We probably need someone with more subject matter knowledge, and the discussion can continue on the article's Talk page. Either way, it's an easy Keep for me, since even if the team were to be dismantled, it was notable before, and that doesn't go away. -- IsaacSt (talk) 22:53, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
