Fewer than 150 unique GHits, a couple of reviews (NYT, which normally counts for osmething, and New Republic, not so much), but no real evidence of significance. Guy (Help!) 23:40, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: GHits are untrustworthy per comment against Arnold Kling below. More than surpasses NBOOK#1 with coverage also in/at WSJ, National Review, Foreign Affairs, Reason, Bloomberg View and BV again (...and then I found the author's page). Author is currently speedied, and as he doesn't appear to meet WP:ACADEMIC, merge or redirect would be a reasonable alternative. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 10:17, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:BKCRIT #1 with multiple reviews mentioned above and in the article. I'm not sure why the nominator says The New Republic doesn't count; it's a long-established and prominent magazine often cited in other media. And there is coverage in other sources. Colapeninsula (talk) 11:20, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Although a raw !vote count would come to only 3-2, I am satisfied that the arguments to keep have yielded a reasonable and actionable consensus here by demonstrating that the coverage is there. KaisaL (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Google finds fewer than 150 unique hits for this name, and that includes a fair number of Wikipedia articles where the name was added by the author of this article, who is an associate of the subject. The article has never had reliable independent sources to substantiate notability. Guy (Help!) 23:18, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: You can't trust GHits because Google truncates results. For instance I get up to 221 hits for the more restrictive "Arnold Kling" site:*.edu, and only to 173 hits for a bare "Barack Obama" (YMMV). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:44, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. His 2013 book Three Languages of Politics was reviewed in the WSJ[1]. Nowadays, it shows up on syllabi[2], in magazine articles[3], and in university press books[4]. His 2006 book Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking how We Pay for Health Care was reviewed in the New England Journal of Medicine[5], Political Studies Review[6] and The New Atlantis[7]. His 2009 book, From Poverty to Prosperity: Intangible Assets, Hidden Liabilities, and the Lasting Triumph Over Scarcity (with Nick Schulz) was called an "important new book" by David Brooks in the New York Times[8], called a "phenomenal new book" in the NY Post by Jonah Goldberg[9], it was reviewed in Foreign Affairs[10], also shows up in university syllabi[11], and continues to attract citation in the popular press like this article in The Hill from 2016[12]. I think it's clear that he's attracted sufficient critical attention to pass WP:AUTHOR 4c.--Jahaza (talk) 14:56, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jahaza's list of sources showing repeated attention to his work. Another example: his 2016 book is reviewed by Yuval Levin in The National Review [13]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:42, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I agree, Kling is well known and widely read and discussed in economics and policy. He definitely has a point of view, but that doesn't mean he isn't a suitable subject for an article. Smmurphy(Talk) 15:59, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CDP.pl[edit]

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

(Following is the analysis, skip to conclusion if you wish.)

This Article was originally moved from CD Projekt to CD Projekt RED in March 2012 by Boskee, stating that the company had changed its name (which it did not, CD Projekt RED is a subsidiary established in 2001, eleven years earlier). The then-redirected CD Projekt article was reinstantiated by the same user in April of that year. Then, in October 2012, the revived article was again moved to cdp.pl (a WP:TMRULES violation) by the same user, again stating that said company changed its name (and again falsely, CDP.pl was a newly established company for digital distribution inspired by GOG.com). At this point, the article was basically the CD Projekt article under a wrong name (nothing what a moved could have fixed, but here we are). The CD Projekt redirect remained untouched until July 2014, when Cornea Scratcher worked out a new article, this time the claim being that CD Projekt was a division of cdp.pl, a subsidiary of CD Projekt RED (all wrong), but other content being mostly accurate. Over a course of four years, the article was expanded further, and using that same content, the cdp.pl article was expanded as well (copy-paste, no rewrites as the History sections never stated cdp.pl even once). And now that I came by this article, I noticed how wrong it was: It was a broken version of the CD Projekt article (in a very bad shape), but under a false banner (including image). I trimmed down everything that was unrelated to CDP.pl, which basically encapsulated everything. Literally. I left be only the infobox and two lede sentences, of which one is sourced with a semi-reliable polish paywalled source (nothing against paywall, but as only a-bit-reliable source? [while the other was fan article]) This did not seem right, and I added a notability tag, but I figured I'd rather bring it here. Bringing it up to date, practically nothing links here: Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey claims that CDP.pl was in charge of a Polish localization, although from my knowledge CDP.pl is not a localization house, wherefore I might have to check the source's reliability and correctness. The only other article that links here is Hard West, which's special edition was distributed by CDP.pl (I found this one to actually be true).

Conclusion: CDP.pl is unnotable and practically invisible and such not relevant to the English-speaking world. The article's history is a complicated mashup through misinterpretation of primarily one user, and has no proper content on its own. The article fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, and should be deleted.

  • Keep - Simply translate the Polish article my dude --Cornea Scratcher (talk) 22:14, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    The polish article has the same problem, CD Projekt's history and a lot of unsourced stuff (likely WP:CITOGENESIS). Lordtobi () 15:09, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*:: @Cornea Scratcher: & @Lordtobi:: The polish version of the wiki article talks about what the corporation does, it's history, starting capital, etc. It seems to me to be trivial and potentially coming under WP:SOAP. In my opinion that should also be AfD'd. The references are poor (mostly from the same source - i.e. their own website) and the rest are either from a government database or a two paragraph online article from a national newspaper. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 14:41, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Convoluted splits and mergers, plus name changes, are a problem here; we have related holding/parent company CD Projekt (a GA, too), its notable and reasonably well known internationally subsidiary GOG.com, another reasonably well known subsidiary CD Projekt RED... and then there is CDP.pl. Now, CDP.pl was named CD Projekt until 2012, then changed its name, and the old company changed its name... this name changing is confusing as hell. There is no doubt that most of those entities meet WP:NCORP, but the name changing obscures which one, perhaps all, perhaps some (since a source about CD Project may refer in fact to cdp.pl, or not). So the op, User:Lordtobi, is right that it is at best difficult to treat all coverage in those articles as supportive of notability (and the history sections, on pl wiki too, mix up history of all companies to some degree). Nonetheless, I see some mainstream, in-depth coverage of the latest incarnation in question, clearly referring to cdp.pl: [14] and [15] from Gazeta Wyborcza, a major Polish daily - that's two in-depth sources, which for me is the minimum requirement to meet WP:NCORP. Here's the third one: [16] from Rzeczpospolita (newspaper). They are from different years, so it's not coverage of one event, but proof that the company has enduring notability and is important enough to warrant regular coverage by Polish mainstream media. That's enough to make it a keep in my book, and some of you should know as that as the author of WP:CORPSPAM I don't say that often. PS. Coming to this I expected to add to the delete vote, and nominate this for deletion on pl wiki, which is what I usually do... but nope, this is notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Given Piotr's insight, it seems that it may be deserving of a en.wiki after all. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 08:43, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Probable Keep: Appears to meet PORNBIO#1, having won the Jury Grand Prize at the inaugural 2005 Adult Broadcasting Awards. If the claim of selling more than a million videos is correct, that suggests that ENTERTAINER#2 was met, and this suggests at least a weak ANYBIO#2 during her post-porn heyday (moribund channel now has 78 million views total, though current subscriber numbers aren't particularly special). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Nomination seemed to take only old AfD discussions into account, not the current state and content of the article, which clearly passes WP:PORNBIO and others per Hydronium Hydroxide's observations. _dk (talk) 20:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All of this article's 65 sources are either:

a. primary sources, b. unreliable sources, or c. trivial sources

A quick Google News search only shows things unrelated to the subject, trivial mentions, or non-trivial mentions without enough content to show notability is met. Note to creator: Creating your first article is a hard job. I can help you with it and introduce you some other aspects of Wikipedia as well. Believe me, it doesn't take a long time to be taught some of this encyclopaedia's basic policies, although it can for the minor ones. I hope this won't deteriorate your growth as a wikipedian.

  • Thanks for the heads up J (947)! I thought I was ready for the big leagues... I'll try to find better sources to buttress this article. Is it alright if we move it back to draft in the meantime? Clarse (talk) 03:07, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Clarse: I'm sorry but the point of this nomination is that right now the subject is not notable. The suggestion of moving to draft many editors would oppose so sorry, but no. J947 03:16, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @J947: Fair enough! Is there anything I can do to help stay the execution? If you google "HelpScout", more articles show up. Thanks for all the guidance! Clarse (talk) 04:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @J947: 12 minutes between the article's creation and nominating it for deletion seems pretty harsh, especially given the incomplete/stub state of so much on here - why not give Clarse a bit of grace time to fix it, now that they are aware of the article's deficiencies?
  • As an update, I have removed all primary sources and unreliable/trivial sources. The sources that remain are from reputable websites that each have their own Wikipedia page such as G2 crowd, Product Hunt, Buffer (application), TechCrunch, Capterra, and Xconomy. I am happy to whittle down this list further, as a researcher I was honestly just worried about not having enough citations. I believe that this software also fits within the notability parameters of similar products such as LiveChat, UserVoice, and Desk.com. Clarse (talk) 04:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Other such software has been mentioned in the past. I do not see this as less noteworthy than that software. Therefore, I think it is sufficiently noteworthy to stay on — Preceding unsigned comment added by Topgunzurhero (talkcontribs) 05:51, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, Topgunzurhero, "other stuff exists" is not a valid argument. What you see is exciting to others only if you provide evidence so that they see it as well. Drmies (talk) 16:31, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Further update, I have added Fox News[1] and CBS News MoneyWatch[2] as references that directly discuss Help Scout. Clarse (talk) 17:35, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of those articles directly discuss Help Scout. The reporter asks the Help Scout CEO for an opinion about something else (and introduces him by his job title for context). I suppose one could cite them as reliable sources for the name of the CEO, but these aren't the sort of thing that speak to Help Scout's notability. 141.126.35.239 (talk) 00:26, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarse (talk) 14:57, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While there are numerically many sources, they seem to be mentions in passing, of dubious independence (catalogs of software with functionality described presumably with language from the software vendor), plus social media individual reviews. Little evidence of notability. There just aren't enough independent 3rd party sources that would cover in sufficient detail to be able to have an article. Also per K.e.coffman. Finally, not sure why we need both this article and Help Scout about the company that makes it. Martinp (talk) 21:48, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a term for a specific feature on a specific trail in the grand canyon. Despite the claim that is has been widely accepted by academics, there were no Google Scholar uses of the term in relation to geology, and the only other sources I could find for its use as a general term were either Wikipedia mirrors from the old version of this article that was deleted in 2008 or books from University of Northampton (where the term was coined).

The result was no consensus. There's two sides here, with wildly differing views on policy, and it's the second tight nomination for the article in under four months. Although the last one closed as a keep thanks to a flurry of late !votes, I don't feel there's any real consensus on this and any nominations in the medium-term are likely to come to the same conclusion. If the right people look at this on the right day, it's a keep, and on the other, it's a delete. As such, I'm closing it as a no consensus. I'd also advise to avoid renomination in the immediate future. KaisaL (talk) 02:59, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article was Kept per a AfF result as current as December 2016. The nominator gives a IDONTLIKEIT rationale without pointing out anything he find wrong with it. This article is well sourced and notable per WP:CRIME.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:34, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Accurate. But that AfD stood at 9-4 favoring keep, several experienced editors had backed their keep votes with substantive opinions, and it had only been relisted once when the closing editor closed it with the comment "The result was no consensus."E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:43, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - These two murders, while tragic as well as garnering publicity at the time they happened, was one event and does not rise to WP:CRIME.

    Then I have to presume that you have not performed a simple Google search or similar before making this !vote. There are plenty of coverage that has lasted for a long time and it has had per sources found a widespread impact concerning the so diverse media coverage of this case.BabbaQ (talk) 22:06, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Coverage was not routine, it was both extensive (national and British press) and lasted long beyound normal news cycle, with stories like [17] discussing it long after trial was over and sentences meted out.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This doesn't sound like news to me. Drug-murders are, sadly enough, pretty commonplace in Detroit, and to be perfectly honest, this article feels like an implicit anti-Black Lives Matter article. Also..."The case drew attention again during sentencing in 2015 due to defendant's unrepentant attitude, yawning and shifting in their seats"? Really? I suppose I can get my own Wikipedia article by sitting behind a computer all day, editing articles. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 10:29, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT is not an argument. The reasons why a particular crime draws attention is not relevant here. Only the fact that coverage was widespread, in-depth, and sustained.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that some of the sources in the article (In Detroit, hiding bodies is easy; Williams, Corey . Journal - Gazette; Ft. Wayne, Ind. [Ft. Wayne, Ind]03 Aug 2012: A.1.) are not coverage of the incident per se, but, rather non-routine news articles that use the incident to illustrate a wider issue by using a notorious crime as an example. A Ft. Wayne newspaper is not local to Detroit.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Cyrus the Penner, Welcome to Wikiepdia, I see that you are fairly new here and it can take a while to learn the ropes. You might want to read WP:N, the gist of which is notability is gauged by coverage of an incident in WP:RS, not by our opinions of that coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • News media noting that a video of perp ranting at sentencing "went viral" is WP:NOTROUTINE coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I have reverted User:Cyrus the Penner's unexplained and undiscussed mass removal of sourced information form the article. As a relatively new user, Penner may not have been aware of the care that must be take to justify the deletion of information, or of the degree to which deletion of material form WP:RS such as the Daily Herald newspaper is frowned upon as bad form during an AfD, especially when done by a user arguing against notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

        • But Daily Mail has been universally banned, though; that I'm sure of. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 22:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Greg, reading your comment leads me to believe you misread. I did not remove any Daily Herald source; I removed Daily Mail. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 22:56, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Intensity explained In case other editors are, like Nom, unaware of why this murder is regarded as notable, the fact is that despite the neutral wording of the article, the case came to national attention because it appeared to be a racism-related crime. For example, searching keywords Bobbish + Kudla + racist brings up coverage like this form Fox News [18], [19], PJ Media, [20], [[Gateway Pundit]: [21].E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I think users are overall not making the research themselves to make a good decision on this article. A simple search online and you see that this passes the guidelines needed. Plenty of coverage, national and international. BabbaQ (talk) 22:06, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Still standing by my opinion that this article is non-notable and unnecessary, though. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are entitled to your opinion. Mass removal of sourced material, details about crime, during AfD while arguing that case is non-notable is more problematic.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:56, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:EVENT per Bistropha. BTW I have seen BabbaQ's response and don't find it persuasive. The coverage doesn't seem to have been lasting and in-depth - it hit the news around the time of the murder, and around sentencing. E.M.Gregory's point under "Intensity explained" is actually an argument in favour of deletion. The followup coverage has been fleeting, as examples in the broader context of purportedly racism-related crimes, not in depth as to continuiing relevant of this one crime. This is a very sad situation, but a single event. Martinp (talk) 18:41, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Although there's something of a case to be made as to the 1995 date being arbitrary, there's a clear consensus that this has an encyclopedic value and should be kept.

PROD was contested with a user simply asserting they thought "this list is valuable". The WP:VALUABLE section of WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions says people need to give a reason for why something is or is not valuable, and the user didn't give any basis for how it has value. This is a blatant POV fork since "notable websites" is a highly subjective title, and Wikipedia is supposed to have articles with neutral titles and neutral content per WP:Neutral point of view and WP:Content forking#Point of view (POV) forks. Additionally, all details on website creation can be included on the sites' own articles instead. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:23, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • How long the page has existed is a moot point per the WP:ARTICLEAGE section of arguments to avoid (linked above). Moving this page back to "List of websites founded before 1995" would certainly make it more neutral, but these details still could easily be included on the sites' own pages. As Timothy mentions below, the criteria also seems arbitrary to begin with. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • As noted on the list's talk page, it's not arbitrary at all. There were 130 websites in 1993 and 2,738 in 1994, but that number had grown to 23,500 by 1995.[1] Expanding the time frame the list covers wouldn't be feasible. - Eureka Lott 16:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - (edit conflict) This one's a little tricky. That the criteria for inclusion seems so exceedingly arbitrary is a pretty good argument in favor of deletion. However, there's probably a pretty good argument for retention if there is some obvious way that the list can be modified to be not-so-arbitrary. For example, modification to List of website founded in the 1990s might be perfectly acceptable. TimothyJosephWood 15:01, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - arbitrary selection criteria. What is 1995? No reliable sources indicate the significance of this date. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:32, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It is rather arbitrary, but is useful and interesting content and the saving for me is that it is not just an a-z list but is broken down into the year of going online. This makes unconvincing the argument that it should be deleted because of its title. A lot of the content is unreferenced, making the "notability" assertion for them unproven - but that is a content issue, or an article name issue. BTW, I've got a couple of ancient web-design books from the mid to late 1990s that may be useful as sources, since they mention many of these early sites as examples of up-to-date designs.

  • Keep This is a useful history of the early web, properly sourced and reasonably accurate. The web turned out to be quite a notable invention, those who were very early adopters have notability in my opinion.198.58.162.200 (talk) 21:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a well-referenced article with a significant encyclopedic value. The individual sites don't give the same historical perspective. Notability can be determined by consensus using the already specified criteria (sounds familiar?). More importantly, 1995 isn't arbitrary at all. This year is widely considered in reliable and professional media as the year the dot-com boom began. The title of this article practically means Notable websites founded prior to the dot-com boom. The only valid discussion is whether websites started in 1995 should be included or not (which has nothing to do with an AfD). -- IsaacSt (talk) 23:00, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Although perhaps it would be possible to have another name. Another possibility would be merging as part of a history article.

I am concerned about the ability of this article to meet WP:BLP. The sources present in the article are mostly tabloids or controversial works including the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, and a search for sources brings back similar hits. I would suggest some of the claims in the "Private life" section do not meet WP:BLPSOURCES and should be removed. That leaves us with the reliably sourced claim of being married to Martina Navratilova, which is fine for a redirect / merge. I did this, and was reverted with a summary of "don't delete articles". Well, BLP says we sometimes have to, so here's a discussion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:32, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought Le Parisien was a tabloid, favouring pictures over content, but I'm happy to stand corrected on that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 07:41, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Le Parisien" is intended to be relatively low-brow and has more pictures than, say, The Times, but it is not a "tabloid" in the sense of a sensationalist, gossip-riddled paper. According to the French Wikipedia article, "Le journaliste Edwy Plenel juge que Le Parisien relève « d’une presse populaire plus exigeante qui n’exclut ni la rigueur ni le sérieux »35. Pour Gloria Awad, Le Parisien adopte plutôt une approche « rigoureusement factuelle, jusqu'à l'élémentaire »36." So independent opinions proclaim that the newspaper is rigorously factual and serious (in its approach to the news), which makes it in general perfectly acceptable as a RS for us (individual articles may of course always present problems).

Self-promotion, autobiographical (implied by creator ID), non-notable. Searches for the subject do not bring up any reliable sources and very few actual sources beyond social media profiles and mentions, particularly a very recent appeal for male underwear models.

OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF PUBLIC INTEREST I object to this deletion on the grounds of significant public interest in the gay and lesbian community in Sydney, Australia and GLBTIQ communities around the world, in the fashion designer's work. This fashion designer served a public office as a police officer in Sydney's Surry Hills Police Station, widely recognised as Sydney's main gay district catering to large LGBTIQ communities and made significant contributions to the GLBTI communities in Sydney. He was also featured in Recruits (TV Series) - a police TV series which follows day-today life of a group of police recruits at NSW Police Academy and their transition into the NSW Police Force.[1][2] Adonismale 20:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete Nothing in article to show this person is notable, and no mention of him found in a quick online search.

  • Delete WP:TNT as unsalvageable propaganda. I don't actually see a copyright violation involving text lifted without change. I wish in a way there was! What I see is a great deal of OR synthesis claimed to derive from two sources. There appears to be a massive amount pov wording, distorting significantly the content of those two sources for pov effect. For example, "...some concessions were made shortly thereafter. In 1969, subsidiary branches of the University of Belgrade in Pristina were converted into the University of Pristina." is in the text and is cited, and implies a "concession" that was nothing beyond a change of signage. However, the cited source says "subsidiary institutions of the University of Belgrade" were "transformed and expanded". That source is also specific that the demand was "clearly linked to separatist politics" - information the article conveniently (for its pov) omits. The degree of source distortion is revealed by the source's content (on p286) that the University of Pristina "subsequently played a prominent role in the Albanianisation of Kosovo’s political, administrative and security apparatuses" being rendered distorted and propagandized in the text as "played a pivotal role in the fight against Serbinisation". This sort of distortion is everywhere throughout the text to the extend that I think it is unsalvageable. The fact that the subject has but two sources makes it doubtful that it is a notable for an article even if neutrally written, and nether of the sources use the title of the article or are specifically about that subject.

  • Keep this one. As Icewhiz notes, it isn't all promotional coverage; moreover, the sources in the article are not the most recent sources available. The Bloomberg snapshot of the company relays a February 2017 announcement of a "strategic reseller agreement with Hewlett Packard", which elevates this over the usual start-up (S&P Global Market Intelligence vets claims of this type submitted to Bloomberg snapshots). Companies generally originate as start-ups, in some sense; of these, many fold quickly, while this one has not. Not all the sources focus on venture capital funding. SC Magazine and Network Magazine sources all focus on methodology, and Venture Beat also addresses this. There is enough going on with this company to make it a subject that people will turn to Wikipedia to find out more about, and we should oblige those potential readers. bd2412 T 13:00, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The sources used are mostly press releases, which per WP:NEWSORG are not true RS. Plus looking at the creators contribution history [31], he has only created this page and the founders page, leading me to believe we have some WP:COI here. - GalatzTalk 13:45, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Likely WP:COI but not overly promotional. Despite the large number of reference about funding, there are three that pass WP:GNG - SC Magazine (written by the editor), Network World (written by the site's senior editor), and Venture Beat (written by staff writer). None are press release reprints from what I can tell. The headline for Venture Beat is about funding but it details more about the company in the article than it does about funding. Other reliable sources are Haaretz and Globes which as pointed out above would not publish promotional content. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is listed in visual arts delsort, I want to mention that having a Picasso work (the claim is neither elaborated on nor sourced) would probably fall under WP:NOTINHERITED.

  • CommentThose Picasso works are editioned lithographs: aka "prints". As in 972/1000. They get cited as paintings, drawings etc in many of the articles. The owner seems to have gotten great promotional mileage from what are pretty unremarkable lithos. There's obviously a huge business in marketing work by the most recognized name in the art business--do a search for Picasoo lithograph and you will see. The artistic value and notability of these works is highly dubious. Talking about these low notability lithos in the article is in effect giving the restauranteur more promotion. 198.58.162.200 (talk) 17:45, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

R. v. Gowan[edit]

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

A very obscure ruling by a provincial court (not some supreme court decision), which has been referenced by one newspaper article the day after the ruling, one column, and a single passing mention (one or two lines) in a book (Google search revealed no other usable sources). Searching for "R. v. Gowan" 1998 or "R v Gowan" Ottawa returns less than 10 Google hits and no Google Books hits.

Fails WP:BLP1E and WP:NCRIME (there are even no Google hits at all for her full name apart from this article[32], we shouldn't be the ones revealing the full name of a BLP only "known" for such a negative case).

The article also contains incorrect allegations about Gowan (again a BLP violation), e.g. "as a result of her desire to test the limits of the R. v. Jacob (1996) Ontario court decision legalizing non-commercial toplessness": the source for this makes it clear that the police wanted to test the limits of the court decision, and choose the case of Gowan as a test case: Gowan herself had no intention of testing the limits of Jacob (or at least the source doesn't indicate this).

The inclusion of incorrect information on non notable (presumably) living individuals related to crimes and convictions is one reason why we have BLP policies and why we shouldn't have articles on such cases unless they are clearly (not borderline) notable, which this case isn't. Fram (talk) 13:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • AfD doesn't work by precedent, and where is the evidence that this case was "held as a precedent in later cases"? The first source, by Valverde, is a truly passing mention similar to the one in her book. From the abstract of the third source given, it is clear that the focus is on R. v. Jacob (which is a notable case) and another case, and not on the Gowan case. So, all in all, these all seem to be passing mentions, not "cases reported in legal journals or held as a precedent in later cases". Fram (talk) 14:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This article is about a court case not a person or a criminal act so WP:BLP1E and WP:NCRIME, respectively, do not apply. There are cited reliably-sourced articles from secondary sources (and other uncited material per User:Timothyjosephwood) and the article is not sensational. The existence of the article does not seem, to me, to violate WP:BLP. Edits may be required, and there may be a case for merging, but not deletion Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The case is named after a person (presumably living) not known for anything else, so BLP1E clearly applies. The sources about the case are (apart from one local news article the day of the court decision) simply passing mentions, not one of the sources (in the article or given here) focus on this case or even spend more than one or two sentences on it. The case doesn't meet WP:GNG, and the negative BLP aspects of having this article only add more reason to delete this article. See the WMF resolution on BLPs[33] point 2: "Taking human dignity and respect for personal privacy into account when adding or removing information, especially in articles of ephemeral or marginal interest". This seems to me to be such an article (and the fact that even with such a sensitive subject and such a short article, we can't even get it right, only strengthens the arguments to get rid of it). Fram (talk) 13:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think it probably satisfies WP:NEVENTS:
checkY An event that is a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance is likely to be notable. Per the law journal cites, pretty evidently a part of the litany of precedent setting cases related to female toplessness.
checkY Notable events usually have significant impact over a wide region Precedent setting for the province of Ontario, i.e., almost half of all Canadians, and apparently an important test of R. v. Jacob, which should probably also have its own article.
checkY An event must receive significant or in-depth coverage to be notable. The piece the day of the decision is pretty in-depth. The law cites contextualize the decision as it related to Women's rights in Canada, and demonstrate a lasting social and legal impact. While they may be short in length, they are not routine. Rather, they are experts writing on the topic of toplessness with regard to the law, and covering this among other cases because it is, among other cases, important to an understanding of the subject.
It's not the most important court case in the history of the world, but it doesn't have to be. TimothyJosephWood 15:12, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I really must be looking at different sources :-) As far as I can tell, not a single court casse has named this one as its precedent, so it's hard to see why you describe this as a "precedent setting case". The "significant impact" for Ontario is reflected in the fact that one newspaper article was written on the decision, and then it was completely forgotten in mainstream journalism and mentioned a very few times in passing in law related articles. What actually was the impact of this "event"? A "lasting social and legal impact"? No evidence for this at all.
All your arguments apply to R.v.Jacob, which was a precedent setting case which was the subject of later articles and cases. That is a case, an "event", with lasting impact (still relatively minor, but clearly sufficient for an article if someone wants to write it). But to call the very few one- or two-line mentions of this case since its conclusion "evidence of lasting impact", significance, precedent setting, is really stretching things beyond what's reasonable. Fram (talk) 15:22, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally, I'm in the merge and redirect to "topfreedom in canada" camp. In the scheme of the topic, this is but a mark in the road. Notable enough to merit an inclusion in the article, but not enough to merit an article of its own. This article is little more than a stub, with a mere four sources, and a limited amount to be added which is specific to this particular court decision, as opposed to the broader topic of topfreedom in Canada. But I'm the first to admit I'm no policy expert. As to BLP, it does seem that this decision is public record, and the individual concerned specifically sought that publicity. Again, I emphasize that I have no expertise in BLP matters. Eliyohub (talk) 17:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as WP:POLOUTCOMES says: Elected and appointed political figures at the national cabinet level are generally regarded as notable.... Ms. Uludong is Ambassador to the UN and EU, generally a cabinet-level position. Additionally, she has received coverage in WP:RS: [34], [35], [36], [37], which qualifies under WP:GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:30, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Doesn't satisfy WP:NPOL and WP:GNG and I don't see any good reliable secondary sources.
  • consilium.europa.eu Namecheck in a press release
  • sprep.org Primary source which seems to be affiliated with the subject. This is not a reliable secondary and independent source.
  • IPSnews. Alternative news agency, but the entire article is essentially quotes by the subject, making the source primary.
  • news.trust.org Not a news article at all, but a two sentence description. This seems to be like the Bloomberg "profiles"
  • oceaniatv.net Routine, brief coverage, the type we usually exclude under WP:NPOL. Also website seems dubious/self published
  • islandtimes.us 2 sentence routine coverage on a dubious, possibly self published website
None of this is significant coverage. Ambassadors or even climate change negotiators are not notable by default. If the subject is actually notable (given the claims about being an ambassador to EU and a climate change negotiator), there would have been secondary coverage for her contributions. But I don't see anything. Delete for now. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:06, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete again, for exactly the same reasons as last time, since this is exactly the same content. New "references" to the likes of amazon, goodreads, and the book's own page on google books don't change that a whit. —Cryptic 22:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete again. Non-notable book per Wikipedia's books notability guidelines. All of the reliable non-trivial sources in the article mention the book a single time in passing, usually in relation to the author (as in "Mr. Bill Viola Jr, who wrote Godfathers of MMA ..."). These references don't prove notability b/c per guidelines the book itself must be the subject of "non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself." This isn't the case for all of the article's reliable, non-trivial citations. In fact, only two citations in the article are actually about the book itself, one from an obscure local lifestyle magazine and the other on the MMA Latest website. However, both of these citations are trivial, as opposed to book reviews in Publisher's Weekly, larger newspapers or magazines. Delete the article and simply mention the book in passing in Bill Viola Jr.--SouthernNights (talk) 22:24, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I respected the consensus when this article was deleted last year and when I found more references and felt notability had increased, I recreated it and then requested publishing on AFC in good faith. These additions are the new changes I made [41] that are improvement on last time it was discussed for notability. Last time consensus was barely there 2 persons voting and deleting article so more clear consensus should be used now with this article which is with more references. The random editor SwisterTwister who published this article clearly also thought it was notable which is why he published so that should be used in consensus. Please evaluate all references I have inserted and also all the references that were present last time. All this combined can make this notable. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources noted when an established expert in the field writes something that is reliable. This book is reliable resource for wikipedia written by notable expert in the field. It is not only reliable for other articles as reference but it is also notable itself as it has received other sources on itself. Whatever wikipedia community decides, I will respect that again too but I felt notability is increased and this book article can be a useful encyclopedia entry which was accepted at AFC. If AFC and AFD will suppress each other, it will not be a very easy task to create good faith articles. MMA is a historical American sport and I think this is a major part of the wikipedia's existing categorization on MMA. Thank you. --Mietusr (talk) 06:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Selective merge/redirect to Bill Viola Jr#Author in lieu of deletion. I agree with the "delete" participants that there is not significant coverage of the book in reliable sources. But I recommend merging material to Bill Viola Jr#Author instead of deletion. The redirect should be retained for attribution purposes and because the book's title is a plausible search term.

What would you merge? Bill Viola Jr#Author already contains a more-than-adequate summary to my eye, and Special:Search/Godfathers of MMA already shows that article as the second hit after this one. —Cryptic 15:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would support merging more material from this paragraph in the article:

The book chronicles mixed martial arts a decade before the term became popular or the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was created.[3][4][5][6] It details the Toughman (boxing) vs Tough Guy (MMA) controversy and the Tough Guy Law which outlawed mixed martial arts in 1983.[7][8] Godfathers of MMA: The Birth of An American Sport documents the sports early history, and legal issues with the Pennsylvania State Legislature and Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission.[9][10][11]

  • Delete or Merge - This is a difficult one, primarily because video game developers rarely receive much media coverage. G-searches are turning up press releases, interviews, and trivial mentions mostly about the games he has participated in the development of. The book sources found do seem to indicated he is respected in his field but most are one line mentions and are not enough to establish notability. The requirement for establishing notability is the subject is to have received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" and "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."
The sources generated by the custom Google search engine in the WikiProject Video games/Source are useful for establish content in the article but may include sources that are not independent and not usable for establishing notability. Unfortunately, the sources listed above by user:Soetermans do not meet the requirements for establishing notability.
  • Metacritic - Per WP:QS "Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is also generally unacceptable." Also the WikiProject Video games/Source WP:VG/RS states that Metacritic is not considered reliable.
  • Shacknews - is a reliable source but the article content is provided by the subject. This would be a primary source and per WP:IV "The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to are primary-source and not independent material" and per WP:Basic "Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject."
  • Eurogamer - PR announcement of the formation of Boss Key Productions. Subject is mentioned as the COO.
  • Destructoid - Blogs are generally unacceptable as sources per WP:USG.
Being a founder of a company or a developer of a popular video game in itself is not enough to establish notability as notability is not inherited.
I am open to changing my !vote if someone can come up with a couple of sources that meet the requirements to establish the notability of the subject as I have not been able to locate some. As an alternative to deletion it may be appropriate to merge the subject with Boss Key Productions. CBS527Talk 17:01, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiography written by subject. No references provided. His claim to WP:GNG may have been his establishment of Cuneiform Press, another article he himself wrote, but that's been deleted. His three separate accounts can be clearly seen in the history of this article: Kschlesinger, KyleSchlesinger, and Kyle Schlesinger. This looks like a long-term campaign of self-promotion to me. I don't think he's a notable person and I don't think his press company is notable. Daphne Lantier 18:45, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The outcome of the original AFD was sound. The fact that an editor subsequently removed the references supporting that outcome is not grounds for deletion. The subject's efforts in a hagiographic direction can be suppressed through ordinary editing. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

  • Delete Does not appear to pass WP:GNG. ElKevbo (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Our nominator states: "I don't think he's a notable person and I don't think his press company is notable." Nominations for deletion are not supposed to be based on wikipedia contributors PERSONAL opinion on topics. We are supposed to rely on the opinions of reliable, authoritative source, on experts. And when an individual is an expert in a specialized field one of the factors that establishes that individuals notability is peer recognition.
    In Schlesinger's case we have National Geographic choosing to quote him, and characterize him as an expert in his field. Our wikipedia article says he was picked to be the keynote speaker at a conference in his field. Being picked to be a keynote speaker helps establish his notability.
    Nominator! If you are going around nominating articles for nomination, just because you PERSONALLY don't think those topics are notable, or if you are weighing in at AFD with opinions that heavily rely on your PERSONAL opinion -- well please stop.
    There are lots of topics I, personally, think are nonsense. But I don't try to censor the wikipedia, and prevent others working on articles on those topics -- so long as they manage to do so in ways that comply with our policies and long-standing conventions. I expect other contributors to do the same. Geo Swan (talk) 23:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very uncharitable way to interpret "I don't think he's a notable person." More importantly, our notability policy explicitly says that "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" so simply being quoted in an article doesn't pass muster. Nor does simply being a keynote speaker at a conference (hell, *I* have been a keynote speaker and I don't come anywhere close to being notable by Wikipedia standards). We need solid, reliable sources that focus specifically on this individual. Right now, we don't have them. ElKevbo (talk) 00:04, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • AGF does not require us to fail to take a nominator's justification at face value. Nominator explicitly asserted the nomination was triggered by their personal opinion that Schlesinger wasn't notable.
    No offense, but your reply includes a common fallacy advanced in AFD. It is very rare for an individual to have their wikipedia notability established by one sole notability factor -- like winning a Victoria Cross. Practically every individual we consider notable has had their notability established by adding up multiple notability factors. You too have been a keynote speaker? Congratulations. And, if someone writes a wikipedia article about you, and someone else nominates it for deletion, you can rely on me asserting that it your keynote is a factor that helps establish your wikipedia notability.
    All you said, in your first comment here, was that you thought Schlesinger didn't measure up to GNG...
    Okay, which version do you think didn't measure up to GNG? Was it the March 2017 version? Or was it a more detailed version from 2009? Geo Swan (talk) 00:42, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: the version of this article, following the 2009 AFD attempt, was in better shape than this version. It has been extensively trimmed. Okay. So I should be able to find the explanation for those extensive excisions, on Talk:Kyle Schlesinger.
    Guess what? No explanation.
    Was this vandalism, or just inexperience? I dunno.
    Anyhow, I urge anyone who decides to take the time to weigh in here, to take a look at a version from mid 2009. Geo Swan (talk) 00:29, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have tried to clean up the references and reviewed the ones in the older version from 2009. There is very little to substantiate his notability, but I will note one review by Johanna Druckerin Afterimage (magazine) from 2006 that seems a real critical assessment of Schablone Berlin. Unfortunately, it's paywalled, so I have no idea how substantial that review is. As for the current citations, ignoring the dead links (I made an effort to find cached versions, but I can't find them):
  • muse is a primary source (interview)
  • amfm is a primary source (interview)
  • uhv is a primary source (faculty listing)
  • kaurab is book review in Kaurab with no biographical information about Schlesinger

The entire article hinges on two book reviews, but all biographical information comes from primary sources. As sympathetic as I am to letterpress publishers and book artists; that's not enough. We need significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources, and that's not the case here. Unless better sources emerge: Delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mduvekot (talkcontribs) 22:10, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. One webzine book review [44] (and another that might have something to say if someone can get past the paywall) is not enough, and none of the other sources from 2009 or now add much value.

  • Delete Only coverage seems to be a one event deal about the band being challenged over a Batman trademark. He doesn't seem to have any coverage himself and even if the band was notable, it still wouldn't warrant an independent article for him. KaisaL (talk) 00:41, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed railway station that is, according to the source, at least 15 years in the future. The extension has not entered the state or federal funding pipelines, which would make it an official project rather than a wish-list item. Per WP:CRYSTALBALL, there's no reason to have a speculative stub article that is a decade or more from ever needing expansion or having more sources.

  • Delete: I'm inclined to delete. I question whether this is even a search term worth redirecting, and there's nothing to merge not already in the E Branch article -- which as a standalone paragraph regarding a line with over a half century of history, a good deal of press and ligitation, and many service changes, dings WP:UNDUE. We're not talking any initiative by the MBTA, we're talking something on a single municipality's wishlist going into a mayoral election. No doubt Hizzoner would enjoy sewing up the JP vote, but that doesn't equate to notability. Ravenswing 08:26, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect - there's nothing to merge here. If Go Boston 2030 ever becomes something more than a red link, it should go there, but until then, point it to Green Line "E" Branch. — Train2104 (t • c) 19:44, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Son of recently deceased financier David Rockefeller. However notability is not inherited. Fails WP:BIO, lacks multiple sources independent of the subject. Being mentioned in his dad's memoirs doesn't count. Coretheapple (talk) 00:25, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Rockefeller family; he might not get enough independent attention outside of family affiliations to warrant an article, but is a viable search term, and can be discussed on the family page as well as his father's article (in appropriate detail, of course).

  • Redirect The family is notable, so a redirect should do. Psychotic Spartan 123 14:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or 'redirect I just reached that page after reading David Rockefeller's news and the Wikipedia article and thinking who is the new family patriarch. Just thinking there might be some value in the existence of such description, and worrying if others can't find it after redirected. (Haven't been updating my knowledge on Wikipedia policies for years and no knowledge on the Rockefeller family, so I'm fine with whatever final consensus you come to. Busy to further involve in discussion though, just to type my 2 cents in case it worths anything to anyone. Sorry for being too lengthy.) akoo (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Well given that there is unanimity for merger (and I concur with that result) I'd be happy with a snow-merge result. We're not "keeping" so I can't just withdraw this under the rules as I understand them. Coretheapple (talk) 15:44, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes; I'm pretty sure you can only withdraw when there's unanimous opposition to what you propose. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:46, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll withdraw it then. Thanks. Coretheapple (talk) 16:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've restored this AfD. An editor requested it, and since procedurally I'm not sure my closing was 100% kosher I don't see how I can say no. I presume that reverting my AfD closing is sufficient. I apologize for the confusion. Coretheapple (talk) 21:45, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have done some work on this article and I have added two references already. I took this weekend to do some more full research on his life, and the accomplishments in his career, if you might call it that, in philanthropy and his work to promote enviromentalism. He served on several different boards for the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). Of course, I am aware that notability is not inherited. For example, I read over the articles here for several other notable people that happen to be rockefeller family lineage members. One of Laurance Rockefeller's daughters became a physician, but also had great moves forward in environmentalism. I think her name is rockefeller waletsky. Not sure there are so many rockefellers. Look at the template at the bottom and you can see the lineage and generations down through the cousins level of eight of them alive. I believe this david is the eldest of the cousins still living. I will be add some more of the references I have prepared to the article on Monday. Antonioatrylia (talk) 07:03, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect: as above. Looking over the references Antonioatrylia added, I'm just not seeing anything that establishes notability. Being a philanthropist and serving on boards does not by definition establish notability; receiving significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources does.

  • Comment @Ravenswing if your logic regarding your comments here were understandable and reasonable, I might be requesting your assistance in putting together a mass/multiple AFD nomination in the near future. Thank you for commenting and discussing here. Antonioatrylia (talk) 21:20, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ravenswing is right, so if indeed you know of other articles similarly lacking I would be happy to help as well. Coretheapple (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Thanks for the offer Coretheapple. What is the max number of articles that one could nominate? Please contact me at my talkpage. I do not want clutter this AFD. Please everyone pardon this distraction. I will work up a short list for us to work from. Thanks.Antonioatrylia (talk) 06:56, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable individual who fathered John Walpole Willis, a member of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. It was deleted once as A7 earlier on March 21, but the second creation was declined for A7 because the individual had a notable son and it could serve as a redirect. Because of the disambiguator I don't see that as a likely search term or a useful redirect, and the subject otherwise has no notability. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
