Willie Aitchison[edit]

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

PROD contensted with the rationale "Willie Aitchison is a professional coach and formerly manager". That may be so, but he hasn't played or managed in a fully professional league and therefore fails WP:NFOOTY. What coverage there is of his 17-game managerial career is of the routine variety.

Redirect to East Fife F.C.: I have added various references but they don't add up to much other than acknowledging the subject's brief managerial tenure at New Bayview. Some of the article content could perhaps go into an expanded East_Fife_F.C.#21st_century but at risk of undue emphasis. A Redirect has the merit that if the subject obtains appointments elsewhere in future, the article source can be retrieved and renovated but at the moment there is not enough evidence of biographical notability.

Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. A redirect to East Fife would be inappropriate, no indication that his contribution there overshadows the remainder of his career. Fenix down (talk) 09:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

International Journal of Physical Education, Fitness and Sports[edit]

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

Fails WP:JOURNALCRIT. scope_creep (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I do not see how this can meet the guidelines for notability for academic journals, nor the WP policy on notability, nor the general notability guidelines.
- The journal website offers a description that is vague and asserts that: "Our journal has indexed by Cabell's Directory, EBSCO Publishing Database & Partnership with International Nobel Peace Prize Recommendation Forum(INPPRF)." Neither Cabell nor EBSCO are selective databases indicative of being recognised within the academic community in line with the requirements of criterion 1. The website of the International Nobel Peace Prize Recommendation Forum declares that the "INPPRF is the only International movement and came into forced to support the Nobel Foundation and it's Committees worldwide as well as all World Peace Movements/International Sports Organizations" and that it was "[I]nspired by the mission of the Nobel Foundation "Nobel Peace Prize", the International Nobel Peace Prize Recommendation Forum was created in 2004 with the practical support by the International Non-Olympic Committee-INOC." This site, located at nobelpeaceforum.org, appears to be a deceptive / fake version of nobelpeaceprizeforum.org that does state "the Forum operates under the auspices of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, and is the only such program or academic affiliation outside of Norway."
- The journal is published by Nature Academic Publishing that looks to me to be hoping to pass itself off as the highly notable Nature Publishing Group, just as with the INPPRF and the International Non-Olympic Committee. These similar names are common with predatory journals and predatory publishing. I don't know if this journal is one of these, though the promise that "[publishing an article in IJPEFS will not be required Article Processing Charges"] suggests otherwise. In any, there is good reason for suspicion that something odd / deceptive is going on here.
- I looked at this randomly-selected paper from the journal (Sept 2015, vol. 4, no. 3). This paper should not have passed peer review at a journal of any real quality, not only because of the problematic English, but also becomes of the material that would never be included in a genuine research paper (like tables of ANOVA analyses rather than simple statements of the results) and discussion which mentions prior literature but is nowhere near a genuine analysis of the significance of results in the context of broader understanding. The conclusions and recommendations are also extremely unimpressive.
- A Google Scholar search shows a single paper from this journal with 8 citations, and no other paper I see has more than 4 citations. A Google Books search also finds little, so I think that the evidence for notability in line with criterion 2 is lacking.
- Looking at criterion 3, the journal's first issue was in March 2012, so historical importance seems unlikely.
- Overall: I don't know if this publication is a very minor journal with low standards or something in the predatory / fake genre, but it is doubtful as a reliable source, there is little to no evidence of it being influential in its subject area, and there are few verifiable citations at all, let alone by other reliable sources. It's short history argues against having established historical significance. Thus, it does not meet any of the criteria at WP:JOURNALCRIT, there is little to no evidence of notability, and so it is also ineligible for inclusion under WP:GNG.

Delete.

Simba Nhivi[edit]

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

There are many sources stating that Simba Sithole and Simba Nhivi are the same person. Simba Sithole even has the same birthday as Nhivi and the same stats. DasGermanMoses (talk) 21:40, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not 100% myself, but when I updated both articles back in June 2016 they both had different birthdays. I noticed you've changed Samba Sithole's DOB recently, any reason/reference? They've also played for different clubs. This (http://www.pressreader.com/zimbabwe/the-sunday-mail-zimbabwe/20160117/281728383520729) from the Sunday Mail in Zimbabwe mentions the namesakes. Simbarashe Sithole and Simba Sithole (footballer, born 1989) could be the same person, though.

Procedural Keep - it is clear that this footballer passes (even exceeds) the WP:NFOOTBALL standards. I think the nominator may have misinterpreted the function of the AFD, if his/her motive was to prove that Simba Sithole and Simba Nhivi are the same person than this should be discussed in a merger discussion on the articles or WikiProject Football's talk page, not on an AFD.

Far-right portmanteau and neologism that has not had significant coverage in the press or in reliable sources. SPLC only is quoting someone using it and does not have substantial coverage of the term. Google only shows the Daily Caller article and random blogs and far-right websites. On top of the notability concerns, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this article should be excluded under that policy as well. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:40, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rudolf Schumann[edit]

No indication of notability. Sources largely are not reliable or not independent, and those few that might be both don't cover Schumann in any detail. Huon (talk) 20:56, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was tempted to nominate this when I reviewed it, but I didn't thinking he might be more notable than he appeared, given my lack of familiarity with Russian. Plus the article creator is still active and I wanted to give them a chance to improve the sourcing on the article. However, from the searching I have done I don't see notability, and I just realized the article on this guy on the Russian Wikipedia was deleted as a C5, which seems to be roughly equivalent to an A7 here.

Delete. The very small number of news articles I found with an online search all mentioned other people with a similar name, none mentioned this Rudolf Schumann. Considering that all the more notable Rudolf Schumanns in the world are not notable enough for WP articles, this one certainly is not notable. This is especially true when people who can efficiently research in his own language (i.e., Russian Wikipedians) found him to be not notable. It's a difficult one because sources will be in a different alphabet, but the action of the Russian WP makes it clear. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON. Jack N. Stock (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Presently, the term has expanded to incorporate modern 'classics' like a Cosmopolitan or Long Island Iced Tea. Definitely agree with redirecting to Cocktail. --GarrettK43087 (talk) 21:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:R#KEEP #3 and WP:R#DELETE #8. No source is needed, and you don't have to put anything in the target. That would be a merge with redirect, not a redirect.

- Draftify: Worth giving the editor a shot at satisfying GNG before removing. It currently is not notable but perhaps there is something out there that establishes that fact. Jip Orlando (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~: This article was created in article space on May 5, 2017, and sent to AfD less than 7 hours later by Vanjagenije. Article creator Lulanep then moved it to Draft space about 90 minutes later. Jip Orlando's above delete vote was added to the AfD before the moved to draft space. CAPTAIN RAJU then converted the AfD to an MfD. So, I think it is important to ask Vanjagenije and Jip whether their views are unchanged for this one-day-old article now in draft space. It is a BLP but I see nothing in the content that is problematic from a policy perspective. The content is unreferenced but asserts reasons to think there could be notability as she has recordings as a musician and has received awards. I think deleting it from draft space so soon would be WP:BITEy, and the article should be left for Lulanep to further develop, as that is the purpose of draft space. It was not ready for article space, but draftifying has addressed that problem. EdChem (talk) 02:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify: Comment added after (edit conflict) with below comment from GeoffreyT2000, who has moved the article back to article space and turned this back into an AfD. I believe draftifying is the appropriate outcome, and so, I am changing my vote from keep to draftify. Geoffrey, keeping a non-ready draft in article space for the length of the AfD and having it visible to search engines (drafts are noindexed automatically) strikes me as absurd, especially when draftifying is a valid and sensible outcome and it was moved by the article creator who is clearly an inexperienced Wikipedia editor. EdChem (talk) 02:18, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think it is appropriate to move to draft during AfD, so I have moved the draft back to the article namespace and MfD back to AfD. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:15, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify:I think, if no one is against, I would prefer to move it again as a draft. She may not seem for everybody so important still now, but I think, there are more possibilities.

Jesus (archangel)[edit]

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

"Jesus (archangel)" lacks notability. The only source listed on the page is a single book by one Richard Carrier, and I was unable to find any further sources. Additionally I believe this falls under "Exceptional Claims Require Exceptional Sources" from the page on "WP:V". Additionally, it may produce the illusion that the fringe Christ myth theory is more widely accepted than it is.2601:1C0:CD01:74EE:A8AD:D914:CC5B:3DA4 (talk) 17:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC) ansh 666 19:15, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The book is peer reviewed and published by an academic publisher.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 19:58, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NFRINGE. Richard Carrier is one of the best known proponents of the Christ myth theory, the view that Jesus did not exist. AFAICT this article represents part of his views on the subject, as a possible explanation of where the idea of Jesus came from if Jesus was not a real historical person. The Christ myth theory is a fringe theory and has very, very little support in mainstream academic scholarship on the subject, so our policies and guidelines concerning fringe theories apply. Fringe theories (or aspects of them) only deserve independent articles they have been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers (WP:NFRINGE). That is certainly going to require more sources than just Richard Carrier. Furthermore, per WP:UNDUE the article would have to make it clear that it is discussing a fringe theory with little mainstream acceptance, which this one doesn't. Hut 8.5 20:26, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Furthermore the topic is actually mentioned at Christ_myth_theory#Judeo-Greco-Roman_background_and_similarities. Covering it in context like that is better because it's clear the idea is part of a fringe theory. Hut 8.5 10:04, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't think the additions really help. Most of it is either original research to make Carrier's beliefs look more reasonable/mainstream or background material with little direct relevance to the topic. Carrier's work is still cited for the important conclusions and is presented as mainstream scholarship. I'm sure it is possible to write an encyclopedic article on the topic along the lines suggested by Hydronium Hydroxide above, but it should not be starting from the standpoint of Jesus mythicism.

Keep I think her work is probably good enough to suggest her notability, and the Writers Guild award cements it. The GoT arguments are almost irrelevant; the show is merely "in development" along with three other series. I think it is highly unlikely that HBO will order all four. It is fine for that information to be included in the article (indeed it should), but I don't think it really makes a difference to her notability at this moment in time (an ordered, or definitely premiered GoT spin-off series is a different matter).

WP:BLP of a musician and actor, which just lists a boatload of acting roles (virtually all as supporting or guest characters, at that) and references them nowhere but his IMDb profile. As always, an actor does not get a free pass over WP:NACTOR just because roles are listed, or even just because they're verified by IMDb -- even on the IMDb profile, the series where he appeared often enough to be called a "regular" are still credited as "guest voices" or "additional voices" rather than as named characters. Rather, to pass NACTOR, at least some of the roles have to be supported by reliable source coverage about his performances in the roles -- but there's no indication whatsoever that any such coverage is available here. There's simply nothing here that's strong enough to earn him a presumption of notability in the absence of a demonstrable WP:GNG pass. Bearcat (talk) 14:59, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. This is a difficult and close call, but the paucity of material in the article and the absence of additional sources from which to expand it further, the majority of participants supporting deletion dovetails with the lack of harm to the encyclopedia to come from this removal. A reasonable alternative might be to create an article on author Peter A. Levine and redirect there (such an article appears to have been attempted before and deleted for unambiguous advertising or promotion, but it may be possible to write a non-promotional piece on the subject). bd2412 T 00:02, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: It seems the three references provided are all independent reviews, which unless I'm missing something, would pass criteria #1 of WP:NBOOK. Am I missing something? Toddst1 (talk) 16:57, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reviews are not in reliable sources (and the one that arguably is, is not of this book but another one). Alexbrn (talk) 17:00, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria says (emphasis mine) "The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book." and note 5 says "The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or of its author, publisher, vendor or agent) have actually considered the book notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it." I believe these 4 reviews meet this test and that one of them is published by the British Psychological Society, removes any doubt in my mind. Toddst1 (talk) 17:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You neglected to take in the gloss on "non-trivial". A site like cheap-health-revolution.com ("The hidden secrets of home-based natural health") does not count.

Right, so it wasn't really right to add the reference as a book review of Waking the Tiger. As I have said a few times, there appear to be no reputable reviews of this book: hence it is not notable enough for us. This is why there is an AfD.

  The article notes:
  The psychologist Peter Levine is a major figure in the trauma field. His earlier book, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma (North Atlantic Books, 1997), aimed at a general readership, was very successful. In it he promoted the idea that the way to help those affected by trauma was not through talking but through action. Somatic Experiencing, as he has calls it, combines body awareness work with a sensitive assessment of the psychological causes of trauma. It is not enough, and in fact it may make people worse, to ask people to relive traumas purely verbally. The body needs to be involved so that physical actions that were inhibited are re-enacted in therapy and latent energy can be discharged.

  The article notes:
  For me, the most interesting part of the book is its neurobehavioral approach to trauma, implicating the survival routines in the protoreptilian brain. The case material is also interesting as one can see how he uses his theory to guide his clinical work; however, the theory and case material are entangled by a self-help format that weakens his presentation and jeopardizes the overall organization of the book. I found it necessary to ignore the self-help aspects of the book to appreciate this interesting hypothesis and useful application, and I believe the book is more appropriately used by professionals rather than directly by patients or clients.

  The article notes:
  As trauma expert Peter A. Levine demonstrates in his seminal book, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma (North Atlantic Books, 1997), we can learn much about trauma from observing animals in the wild. This is because we are a lot like them.
  This is a passing mention but it notes the book is "seminal".
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Waking the Tiger to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The records website RecordSetter.com lacks credibility since there is no oversight or check of the records submitted to it - see this discussion at the Reliable Sources noticeboard. It follows that a person whose only claim to notability is that he has a large number of records listed on that website does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. I have removed some puffery and unsubstantiated claims, leaving a bare-bones version of the article - the version before my edit can be seen here.

Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a writer and bhangra dancer, without the depth or breadth of coverage needed to properly support notability. While there are reliable sources being cited here, they are virtually all in the context of a single viral YouTube video, which just makes him a WP:BLP1E as things stand today — there's no real evidence of notability shown here for his writing apart from the simple fact that it exists. And while the advertorialized viral video spin is a recent rewrite of an older article that was much more (but not perfectly) neutral and concentrated on his writing, it didn't properly demonstrate notability as a writer either, amounting to "he exists" and parking that on a single source — so the article would not become keepable just by reverting the PR bumf either. I'm also bundling the newly created article about his book, which makes no claim of notability at all except existing and cites no sources whatsoever — technically that article's actually outright speediable, but I felt it better to keep it attached to this discussion. As always, neither writers nor books are automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist; certain specific standards of notability have to be attained, and certain specific standards of reliable source coverage have to support them, for an article to become earned. Bearcat (talk) 14:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Note by Mark Hilton): This article is about the real person Gurdeep Pandher and his works, I am not sure why CAPTAIN RAJU is recommending it for deletion! I am recommending to keep the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkHilton (talk • contribs) 20:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability on Wikipedia is not a matter of "this person exists and therefore must automatically have an article" — a person has to have achieved something that passes a Wikipedia notability criterion, such as winning a notable literary award for his writing, for a Wikipedia article to become earned. It is not something that everybody is entitled to just for existing. For one thing, your comment seems to imply that you think somebody said he wasn't a real person — but nobody said that in the first place, and "is a real person" is not, in and of itself, automatically grounds for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Note by Mark Hilton): This person is an author of two books. One of them is 3 times sold out. And he is bhangra artist, poet and singer. CBC News, BBC, USA Today, etc. covered him. He has viral videos. Nearly half-million people follow him on social media. I am not sure what else needs to be done to mark someone a notable person! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkHilton (talk • contribs) 20:37, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Media coverage that exists in more than just the context of a single event, for starters. No number of followers on social media constitutes a notability freebie in the absence of passing an actual notability criterion, for one thing — and even if he actually passed a notability criterion, articles on Wikipedia must be written neutrally and encyclopedically, and no topic is ever entitled to keep an article that tips over as far into advertorial public relations bumf as you've turned this into. Bearcat (talk) 23:17, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Note by Mark Hilton): Did you read he is also an author of a 3-reprints? Social media is an added thing. Yes, this article was written in way to polish it in future. A simple google search will reveal his notably. This is not a public relations bumf which you are unnecessarily describing without any logic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkHilton (talk • contribs) 03:45, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You get a couple of brownie points for toning the advertorialism down since this discussion was initiated, but "advertorial bumf" is a completely accurate and correct assessment of what the writing tone was at the time. And again: people do not get Wikipedia articles just because they got a blip of media coverage in the context of a single event — they get Wikipedia articles if the coverage sustains significantly beyond a blip of publicity for a single event. And writers don't get an automatic inclusion freebie just for the fact of having written books, either — they get Wikipedia articles when, for example, they have won or been nominated for a major literary award for one or more of their books.

And, for the record, considering that you have never once made a single edit to Wikipedia that wasn't directly related to Gurdeep Pandher, I strongly suspect some form of direct conflict of interest — are you a public relations agent whom Pandher paid to tart up the article with advertorial content about his YouTube videos? Because whether you are or not, that's what you're coming across as right now. Bearcat (talk) 15:03, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Note by Mark Hilton): The way you are using your language now, you seems like a racist jerk to me. Aren't you? Now you are accusing me of his public relations agent. Mind your language and be respectful! You are going too far and I suspect your credibility. I am going to write to Wikipedia on your language you are using here. His media coverage is not about a single event. He is getting the sustainable media coverage since 2004. Some people like you who are just jealous of others' achievements and who cannot do anything themselves, waste their lifetime finding faults in other people's works. You are being way too much negative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkHilton (talk • contribs) 06:27, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Er, no, I've said nothing remotely "racist" or "disrespectful" at any point in this discussion, I've used no remotely "inappropriate" language whatsoever, and I frankly don't give a flying fig what you think of my credibility — if we took this to WP:ANI for a credibility contest, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd win. As well, please note that if you don't drop the ad hominem attacks on me, you're going to be at serious risk of being editblocked for violating WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. HTH, HAND.

Delete The subject has two (or three, depending on whether you consider each book separately) claims to notability; he is the author of two books, and a video he posted received more than 300,000 views. His videos have received coverage in the media, but his books have not garnered any critical attention. He is not notable as a poet. As for the videos, a video going viral (if that is even the right word in this case) is not something we would have an article about, so there is not even the question of whether the subject should be covered independent of the event, or redirected to the article about the event. Unsourced claims like "From BC to Ontario, he has been to almost every city and town, plus majority of villages." should not exist in a BLP. If all such statements were culled from the article, not much would remain. Mduvekot (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is one of 14 houses at this school. I can't find any discussion of it in reliable sources - in fact I can find no mention of it at all. It's unreferenced and contains things like "Aquinas House is factually the superior house of Covington Latin School" which makes me think it's a page created by students within the House. In short, nothing to indicate notability. Neiltonks (talk) 16:06, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no reason to suspect that this is the most significant Thomas Aquinas House in the world or that people who typed this in would be looking for Covington Latin School. Aquinas House is actually a pretty common name for Catholic campus ministries or their facilities in North America (especially if the CCM was founded in the pre-Newman Centre era). I also suspect their are a fair amount of Aquinas Houses elsewhere too in the form of rectories, parish halls, etc. Basically, this is one of the most significant saints in Western Christianity, revered by Catholics and respected by Protestants. The odds of people searching for a school in Kentucky when they type in this search term are pretty low, IMO. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:51, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaspyy: Improving is generally the best way to go, to be sure. :) but the issue isn't the quality of the article, but the subject itself. "Notability" is a measure of significance to justify having an article, but it's based on bigger Wikipedia principles like WP:V and WP:NPOV. Basically, if something hasn't received significant coverage by reliable sources, there's no way to (a) justify including it in an encyclopedia that's based exclusively on preexisting sources, or (b) write an article about it that isn't either a short stub or excessively promotional. Google hits can be an indication of notability, but doesn't stand in for actual sources. If you could link some sources (books, journals, magazines, high-quality websites, newspapers, etc.) that have no connection to SparkChess and which provide in-depth coverage of it, that's what would swing this discussion towards keep. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:51, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of 6th-century Muslim history[edit]

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

This is anachronistic, Muslim history didn't start any earlier than around 610 (well in the 7th century). Marcocapelle (talk) 16:35, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - specious rationale. The timeline gives the births of various ancestors etc of Muhammad, and the events of the first 30 years of his life. Perfectly reasonable. Johnbod (talk) 17:40, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not history of Muhammad but Muslim history. Muhammad hasn't done anything Islam-related in the first 30 years of his life. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter. Any work of "Muslim history" covering the whole period will begin with the late 6th century. Johnbod (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As noted by the nominator, this is a history of Muhammad before he began preaching Submission. I quote the History of Islam article: first the intro, and then its "Islamic origins" section:
Despite concerns about reliability of early sources, most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century.
According to tradition, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca around the year 570. His family belonged to the Quraysh. When he was about forty years old, he began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations delivered through the angel Gabriel, which would later form the Quran, enjoining him to proclaim a strict monotheistic faith, warn his compatriots of the impending Judgement Day, and castigate social injustices of his city.
Works of Muslim history do not begin with the late sixth century except to provide background information: if you're writing from the Muslim point of view, you'll begin your account of Muslim history at Creation, and if you're not, you'll begin your account of Muslim history (as opposed to background information) in the early seventh century. There's no point in moving this content to the Muhammad article, since it's just a few bullets of information that's already much better expressed in his biography. Nyttend (talk) 00:16, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fiddle, faddle! I should have said "History of Islam", but I forgot how many pedants are around. As you recognize it is necessary to admit twice, any bla bla work will include the 6th century, precisely to give background information. In the same way, the Timeline of World War I begins before the actual war, as any reader would expect. Johnbod (talk) 02:36, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if that's the course you want to take, I'll say delete as basically redundant to Muhammad in Mecca without being a good redirect there. Once again, none of these items are specifically Islamic, and we already have the background information elsewhere. Nyttend (talk) 02:58, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We always have the information in "Timelines" elsewhere, and so we should. But many people like the format and use them. If you feel like that, try nominating Timeline of 7th-century Muslim history and see how that goes. Johnbod (talk) 03:26, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a subpage of Timeline of Islamic history created by the separating of that page by century. It was a reasonable thing to do then (2004) and still looks reasonable to me. There seems also to be a content dispute regarding the inclusion of events before the birth of Muhammad or before the start of his preaching. If this article is not deleted, that dispute could be continued on the talk page, but my opinion is that these events could be included. Smmurphy^(Talk) 02:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. There is something rather off about deciding the validity of an article about the history of Islam based solely on how it fits with a calendar based on the birth of Jesus Christ! Johnbod (talk) 14:54, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination is completely unrelated to calendars, I really don't understand where this comes from. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then I'll explain. The title "Timeline of 6th-century Muslim history" uses the usual calendar, based on Christianity. If the whole timeline set used the Islamic calendar, this would be something like "Timeline of pre-Hegira Muslim history", to which the same objections could not be made. Johnbod (talk) 14:45, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't get it. The nomination is to delete an Islam article when Islam didn't exist yet. That applies in any calendar setting. There isn't any 1st-century BC Christianity either. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There could be if the Christian calendar started (say) with the baptism or death of Jesus rather than his birth. But that's not really the point. If you don't get it you don't get it I suppose. Johnbod (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Two points: 1) You responded within 40 minutes of my !vote and yet you make the absolute statement that "none of the [548] webpages in the news link". So you looked at them all? Assuming that you actually saw my !vote immediately after I hits save, that would mean you reviewed about 14 pages a minute. That's impressive. Now, I assume you could be using hyperbole, or you actually checked them all WP:BEFORE you nominated the article. OK. 2) It's is easy to refute with a single case: http://pulse.ng/buzz/dice-ailes-will-be-a-star-with-miracle-id6033688.html, but there were at least two others that were not fan fawning. My decision to claim it should be kept remains unchanged based on the sheer volume of stories. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. To reiterate, the sources in the link do not discuss the subject or his musical releases in detail. Majority of them are mere announcements of his releases.

You said it's fail's WP:MUSICBIO, but you so wrong, the article meets criteria 1, 8:The Headies^[1], 10:Felabration^[2], 11:How do you check song's which has been placed on rotation on Major radio?, The answer is by checking the radio's official webpage or "PlayData Chart" because that chart is been put together by major radio stations in Lagos only and it's based on rotation.^[3] and 12^[4]. 2.) You said it's fail's WP:GNG, but you also wrong. You might have seen for yourself now it's also pass WP:GNG. I got nothing more to contribute to this, it's clear it meet's WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG.--Obari2Kay (talk) 07:39, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You can help Wikipedia by expanding it" not redirecting or deleting. The first nomination made by you in 2016, was clear the article was a case of WP:TOOSOON not now the article meet's it's criteria's.--Obari2Kay (talk) 18:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oluwa2Chainz Now i understand the reason's why you guy's keep nominating my articles for deletion, it's because you always see them as not being relevant, Wikipedia has a law which should be followed. Before i write any article's, I always make sure they meet's it's criteria. You said i have a history, what history Jay Pizzle & Fliptyce got nominated for deletion, just two article make's up a history. Point of correction my subject is always notable to stand alone, they only get nominated for deletion because editor choose not to follow WP:MUSICBIO and also like to find forth in my article. Wikipedia never said you need over a 100 or 50 reliable sources to make up a stand alone article, they only said on WP:MUSICBIO "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria" in my case all the article i have written meet's more that one criteria of WP:MUSICBIO and also meet's WP:GNG expect for Jay Pizzle and Fliptyce.--Obari2Kay (talk) 06:36, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This other article from "360 Nobs" [4], "OkayAfrica" [5], "Nigerian Tribune" [6] and Tush Magazine [7], has very significant coverage and this source is reliable enough. With this i should be able to convince you in changing your vote, MelanieN, Celestina007 Oluwa2Chainz and also changing your mind "Versace1608".--Obari2Kay (talk) 18:32, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Obari2Kay: There is nothing significant about the references you mentioned above. The OkayAfrica source briefly talks about his song "Yemisi", not about him. The Nigerian Tribune source is a brief press about his so-called "versatility". The 360nobs source briefly talks about his song "Telephone". None of the sources you cited discusses the subject in detail. As a matter of fact, none of his singles have been discussed in detail. He is still an up-and-coming artist and do not deserve to have a separate article just yet. He only has one hit song to his name. Mayorkun is a bigger artist than Dice Ailes, yet he doesn't have a separate article. You should keep in mind that he was awarded Rookie of The Year over Dice Ailes. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 23:11, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Versace1608: You said "None of the sources I cited discusses the subject in detail. As a matter of fact, none of his singles have been discussed in detail". Note, "Miracle" was discussed [8] [9] why this is a brief discussion [10] and "Telephone" was also discussed briefly [11]. You also said "None of the sources I cited discusses the subject in detail", the interview with Tush Magazine is clear [12]. Am i wrong @Walter Görlitz: and @TH1980: ?.--Obari2Kay (talk) 11:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Obari2Kay: The songs above fail WP:NSONG and has not been discussed in detail. Can you create separate articles about those songs? The answer is no. None of the songs above received full-length reviews, nor did they chart on any country's official music chart. Moreover, they did not receive any notable accolades. The Tush Magazine source is considered WP:PRIMARY because it is not independent of the subject. FYI, primary sources cannot be used to establish the notability of a subject. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The fact still remains the same, he is notable to stand alone. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio known as The Beat 99.9 FM [13] and TV network known as Soundcity TV [14]. You may keep trying to change the fact it's meet WP:GNG but that doesn't change my vote as Speedy Keep, here is a debate you contributed to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruby Gyang on that debate you included this link as WP:GNG [15] and yet you classify Tush Magazine as WP:PRIMARY because you feel it's not independent of the subject. As it was said earlier the subject has a lot of third-party source please note that. Also songs released in "OCTOBER" don't get nominated for an award in that same year, just like you said "The songs above fail WP:NSONG" yes it does but the subject in person passes WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO, but i can bet on it The Headies 2017 and 2017 Nigeria Entertainment Awards that single "Miracle" would get nominated only then i would be able to write an article for the song and also "Miracle" was reviewed [16] but it can't still hold the article together as a stand alone for this article Miracle (Dice Ailes song).--Obari2Kay (talk) 07:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC and has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. Article is written like an advert and the author seems too closely related to the subject of the article herein a WP:COI arises and as thus, neutrality of article is questioned. My !vote! is a strong delete this, maybe, is a case of WP:TOOSOON On further observation, my guess is correct! the 'significance' of this articles subject centers on a cash prize he recently won about 3 weeks ago.

Keep The sources present (Daily Post Nigeria, Premium Times Nigeria and others) appear to meet RS. The sheer volume of sources (21 at present) give us a fair bit of coverage. It may be promotional or TOOSOON, but it seems sufficient for a local musician. Not sure if the award is significant or not. If it is, the subject would meet WP:MUSICBIO and only GNG would be at issue. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and has not been discussed in reliable detail. The Uzomedia (ref 1), Nairaland (ref 2), and Lailasblog (ref 9) sources are not reliable per WP:USERG. References 3 through 7, 10 through 15, and 17 through 21 are about the subject winning the Big Brother Naija reality competition. Apart from the eighth reference, no other source discusses the artist or his musical releases. An overwhelming amount of the sources cited in the article are only about the subject winning Big Brother Naija. It is safe to say that the subject is significant for his role in a single event. Musicians ought to be notable for their body of work. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 00:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You warned me in your recent AfD to "stop making assumptions about what [you] reviewed or didn't review", but it's obvious you only looked at the references in the article and did not do the required research. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:22, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Hello @Walter Görlitz you may observe that i took time before i replied you, sorry about that but i like to be thorough, as so, i have come to this conclusion, the editor @Versace1608 does make a valid and sound arguement as almost all sources, (above 90%) all speak about this lucky cash prize he won, this sources although some are reliable, most are gossip blogs just copy-pasting from each other now a key problem is : he(subject of discuss) is a supposed musician, but no reliable source speaks in-depth about his music career there is no significant coverage in reliable sources about his music career, i do not want to even talk about his biography, because the same issue arises herein as well , it is like before he won this cash prize he did not exist, as per WP:CRYSTALBALL we need soures to work here, now if this sources currently are non-existent then its simply a case of WP:TOOSOON! simple things uno, this situation is really a no-brainer a strong delete !vote! is still best applicable here. Celestina007 (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG and everything else that is relevant. The article is one of a whole group of articles about non-notable people in southern Nigeria created by a small group of editors, and a considerable number of related IPs (currently range-blocked), with obvious connections to a "Pastor Isaiah Ogedegbe", using the articles to promote Ogedegbe and his blogs on en-WP (see this edit by the creator and main contributor to the article being discussed here; self-promotional articles about Ogedegbe have been deleted dozens of times, and are now salted under multiple names, links to Ogedegbe's blogs are blacklisted and a large sock farm has been blocked, but the promotion attempts are still going on). - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 14:28, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    - No. Blaming others for providing notable content about Nigerians is BS. If subjects meet WP:GNG they deserve a place on Wikipedia. Period. That editors such as Celestina007 and Thomas.W are not taking the time to actually see if reliable sources exist or not and simply base their opinions on the current state of articles is concerning. That's not what AfD participants are to do. WP:BEFORE is headed "Before nominating: checks and alternatives". Much of that does not appear to be done. If an editor like me can find more than 2000 links, many to reliable sources discussing the subject GNG has been met. I didn't bother to look at the other discussions as this one stands on its own merit. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Walter Görlitz: I suggest you stop your repeated claims about others not doing their homework, because I sure did mine, looking for reliable sources that would establish notability per Wikipedia's rules, but found none, only sources mentioning that Ejeba won Big Brother Naija, meaning that the article a) fails WP:GNG since Ejeba and his musical career isn't covered in depth in the multiple reliable sources independent of the subject that are needed, and b) fails WP:ENT since being known for being a participant in a single reality show isn't enough to be notable. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 15:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        I suggest you look at MOS:INDENTGAP and MOS:BULLET. As for repeated claims about others doing their homework, no, I will continue to call people to do the required work for participation in these discussions until they either start to do it or leave. The subject meets WP:MUSICBIO for having won an award and unlike many other award winners, this subject has been written about for winning that award. And the reality show goes beyond that. And the other coverage goes beyond that. And don't ping me again. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:28, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        @Walter Görlitz: Award? What award? As far as I can see he has released a single record, and that record was very far from an award winner (in fact it was described as "showing a lack of skill", with the reviewer even saying "nobody wants to listen to this"...), and there's no mention of an award in the article. WP:MUSICBIO also explicitly says that it takes a really big award for an award to be considered as proving notability ("Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award"), and with a single record, a record that was described as showing a lack of skill, he's nowhere near that level. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 16:10, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        I see that you didn't read INDENTGAP, BULLET. The award is winning Big Brother Nigeria. Is that not an award? Excuse me if I misspoke or it's not actually an award. In that case, still meets GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:25, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's obvious that you are the one who hasn't done the homework properly. You link to WP:MUSICBIO and claim that he has won an award, but when challenged quickly backstep and claim that winning Big Brother Naija is an award (!?!) proving notability. Well, it's not, it's a case of WP:ONEEVENT (see also WP:REALITYTV which clearly states that ONEEVENT also covers TV reality shows). I.e. double fail. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 17:39, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and while I'm at it, stop linking to MOS:INDENTGAP and MOS:BULLET since they apply only to articles, not AfD-discussions. What applies here is Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, as can be seen in the lead of that guideline. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 17:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep nominator should have done a thorough research about the subject before thinking about AfD. Although the article lacks a neutral point of view, these sources [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24] are enough to prove the notability of the subject. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 15:40, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    - Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, a place for articles about people, places and things with an already established, and clearly proven, notability, not a place for creating notability. As in this case an article about an individual who is known for one thing only, winning a reality show, and is now trying to cash in on that temporary fame by becoming a "recording artist" (so far having released a single record that was met with bad reviews...), and getting international exposure through having an article about him on Wikipedia. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 16:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Oluwa2Chainz: In this article, Pulse described him as an upcoming Nigerian rapper. Him winning the competition doesn't change this. He wasn't discussed in reliable sources prior to entering the competition. He actually became popular as a result of the competition. The sources in the article and online clearly shows that the subject's significance is tied to a single event. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 20:40, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being known for only one thing, winning a reality TV show in Nigeria, is a case of WP:ONEEVENT, and not having in-depth coverage in (multiple) reliable sources means not passing WP:GNG, so I strongly suggest you read the relevant guidelines etc before !voting in AfD-discussions. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 10:30, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing administrator: The article has been moved to Nicholas Connor (Filmmaker) since its nomination. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:16, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Connor is a young student filmmaker whose early career shows some promise, but who has not yet achieved the recognition or significant coverage required to meet WP:CREATIVE, WP:BIO, and WP:GNG. Articles about him and his work have all been created by a single editor, and all are being co-nominated in this AfD. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This page should not be speedily deleted because as seen in the reference material there is sufficient material to back notability. The material placed is not bias, notable (as seen there is full media coverage including red carpet events at Odeon Leicester Square with reviews from notable critics/authors. The films linked star actors who have been awarded BAFTA's and are incredibly notable, the productions linked are professional.) and it appears that the contesting of the article is believing age is a factor in success (ie. use of language -student', 'young') when age should not be a factor if the subject is in fact notable. The subject is also not a 'student' and neither are the projects associated, the belief that being a 'young' person is a factor in notability by the wiki editor who contested is an incorrect fact. If the editors read the articles referenced they will understand this notability and I hope not delete this page/other pages associated to 'Nicholas Connor' who the articles are very neutrally written about.

Speedy Keep The page's source material and connections to work with notability suggests the articles notability for Wiki standards. I do however believe the page requires edits to further enhance it, Film9 includes sufficient reference but cites it in a messy way. The article shows industry recognition (awards/nominations with large organizations) and also press recognition matching WP:CREATIVE, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG. With more additions to possible festivals/connections would help the matter and with a more experienced Wiki User than Film9 the article may benefit. In addition the films in connection to Nicholas Connor appear in part notable, Cotton Wool has a well-known cast and supported by organizations such as The Stroke Association, Northern Lights (2016 Film) however is less notable with some numerous respected awards and a slightly unknown cast.

- Comment @Wiki Cell: I'm going to have to disagree. The page's source material show a series of local interest pieces on a young filmmaker, but do not show the depth or significance of coverage required, and Connor's connections to "work with notability" is limited to work on his own films (whose notability is questioned in this discussion) and minor roles on other works (whose notability is under discussion elsewhere). The awards and nominations are from smaller, non-notable film festivals. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:25, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say Keep all of them. All these articles seem to have enough in the way of references, awards, critical reception (or could have), to satisfy WP:Notability; and the objection that these were added “for promotional purposes” flies in the face of WP:AGF without evidence of paid promotion. As they are all British independents they are something of a niche interest, but then so is most of the content on WP: It wouldn't be here unless someone was interested enough to write about it, so objecting because someone has actually done so seems a bit WP:BITEY, no?

- Comment @Atlantic306: That is incorrect. Northern Lights won the London Film Awards, not an award at the London Film Festival. These are two very different things. The London Film Festival is certainly a major film festival and winning an award there would merit inclusion at Wikipedia. The London Film Awards appears to be a much less significant thing, with no Wikipedia article of its own and no evidence of significant coverage.

Keep -- his age shouldn't matter, when considering his notability. Being an award winning filmmaker makes one notable -- for certain particularly high-profile awards. Connor is an award winning filmmaker, but not for one of the high-profile awards that confers notability, all by itself. That does not mean that the awards he received don't confer a measure of notability. Notability is not inherited. Merely appearing near more highly notable film personalities does not make him notable. But, I suggest, having them explicitly praise him, say he is a talent to watch, does, also, confer some notability. Some of the references for this article seem weak, obscure. But I accept that others, like this one, do confer genuine notability. In my opinion there are sufficeint notability factors to pass our notability threshhold. Geo Swan (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Charles Dance did not say that Nick Connor is a talent to watch. Charles Dance was hired to be the presenter at the Into Film awards ceremony, at which Connor won the "One to Watch" award. These are two very different things. The coverage provided by the Oldham Chronicle for this event is very much of the "local boy makes good" type.

Leaning keep. Looks like a well-established journal (22 years history) published by a bona fide academic institution, even if from a non-English speaking country. 1510 citations listed on Google Scholar [25]. Impressive editorial board for such a niche journal [26]. Note that WP:NJOURNAL / WP:JOURNALCRIT is an essay and can't be "failed", however it also states that "however, smaller journal can be also be notable if they can be considered to be influential in their field." I suggest we keep this discussion open until enough editors with knowledge of this field weigh in. — kashmiri ^TALK 11:12, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The journal meets WP:NJOURNAL. The main criteria for WP:NJOURNAL are these three criteria and it only has to meet one of them: 1) The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area. 2) The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources 3) The journal is historically important in its subject area. It likely meets criteria #1 for its small niche given its impressive editorial board filled with very qualified people.[27] (as alluded to by User: kashmiri. Given the small nature of its niche, 1520 citations is notable, so it meets criteria #2. The journal has a 22 year track record which is very respectable, so one could argue that has some historical significance in its field.desmay (talk)

Keep, while this initially seems to fail WP:NJOURNALS, based on it being indexed nowhere selective with no independent sources provided to establish notability. Editorial boards are of no consequence, likewise for the number of years it's be published. I would have voted !delete based on that, but then I search for the old name of the journal. Under its old name, it was extensively indexed, amongst others Scopus (Emerging Sources Citation Index, Scopus, Academic Search Premier, Aerospace Database, Civil Engineering Abtracts, Compendex, Metadex, Communication Abstracts, DOAJ). Also, according to its very badly written history page, "The magazine has been awarded the Charter for the best IT publication in 2006." and "According to the National Library of Serbia, this journal belongs to the group of M52 (journal of national importance)...". That makes is a clear pass of WP:NJOURNALS and thus should be kept. However, I'll ping DGG here to confirm this is not a continuation of the journal, and a new journal that replaced an old one.

Comment I now located the home page of Metalurgija [28] and it appears that Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is not "a continuation of Metalurgija", which is published to this day, but an entirely different journal. Please correct me if I am mistaken. — kashmiri ^TALK 23:08, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am prepared to accept that being on the Emerging Journals part of the ISI database is enough by itself; what that section of the database does is extend the ISI coverage to match Scopus--Scopus' wider coverage was one of its main selling points, and consequently the two have been leapfrogging each other for years now, with the net result that the journal coverage of both has become wider and contains less important journals. If we accept Scopus, we should accept Emerging Journals. As for continuation, there appear to be two journals titled Metalurgija, the one this title continues, which claims to have been published since 1994 by the Association of Metallurgical Engineers of Serbia (which says it is "financially supported by the Ministry of Science of Republic of Serbia") , and the one published by the Croatian Metallurgical Society (which says it is " non-governmental and non-profit organization."), which claims to have been published since 1962 [29].

Bottle match[edit]

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

The only reference provided here gives a passing mention of "the Bottle Cup", a hockey competition, not "the Bottle Match", a rugby competition. A search on Google books turns up only one book discussing this match, and that book was published by the Imperial College Press (which might not be independent from the subject matter). While I do not disagree that the match is old, age alone does not qualify this match as notable. Article lacks substantive discussion in independent reliable verifiable secondary sources, and existence alone does not normally equal to notability. KDS4444 (talk) 23:08, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Based on WP:NRIVALRY it appears that WP:GNG is the relevant guideline. The source in the article: [30] about hockey is is not really off-topic. The 2nd paragraph in the lead mentioned the mix of sports that began in 2006. There are other sources although some are not independent:[31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] It seems reasonable to assume there is much more coverage not online given that this series began in 1902.

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a local radio program, with no credible claim of notability per WP:NMEDIA. A radio program needs to be distributed nationally (either on a network or through syndication) before it earns an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, and even then can still be deleted if the sourceability just isn't there — but a local radio program lives or dies entirely on the sourceability.

The article itself is factually incorrect. It is not a blog, but a livejournal community, in which users can post or crosspost from other blogs, so it doesn't even belong in its current category. The community does contain a few thousand users (few of them active), but it is not notable enough even within Russia or for Russian wikipedia - there are some occasional mentions in local media or in more prominent blogs, but nothing worthy of a Wikipedia article. The references are circular - [1] and [3] are the same thing and they both simply refer to [2]. [4] just shows the position of the community in the current rating for russian LJ segment - it may have been at the top once, but isn't even in top 10 anymore. The Economist article is the only actual reference - and it only mentions the subject once, in passing, it isn't even the main topic of that article.

Hello, I am the supervising instructor for the students who put this page up. This was part of a short research paper to show students that wikipedia is a community of writers who check each other. The authors of this page are high school students from Hawaii and so, it would be a shame to delete this good faith effort. May I edit it and see if it passes your muster? Thank you so much for your consideration User:JaysonMChun

Mike Plummer[edit]

Mike Plummer is a highly influential government official in Poole, Dorset, UK. He was created a Wikipedia page due to the importance of the 2017 snap election in this specific constituency. He is due a surprise victory. His achievements should not be downplayed as done so by C.Fred. The walking bus is the largest ever in history and his prominence in UK local government speaks for itself. GGLD (talk) 09:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, Mike Plummer meets the following criteria: - Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[12] This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them He held subnational office. England is a nation. Being a councillor is therefore sub-national. Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[8] He has received significant press coverage. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". See above. GGLD (talk) 09:34, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Local offices (city councils, borough councils, county councils, etc.) do not satisfy the "subnational office" criterion. In the UK, that criterion covers the Scottish and Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies, not offices at the county or municipal levels. And what you're showing for "coverage" of Plummer is not references that are substantively about Plummer, but references that happen to namecheck his existence in the process of being about something else. Bearcat (talk) 14:33, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ The only evidence I see of notability is related to the political campaign he is currently running. As noted above, being a candidate for political office is not notable in and of itself. Power~enwiki (talk) 17:56, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Local political officials are covered under the Wikipedia terms. GGLD (talk) 21:45, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Curious. A new, single-purpose account removed the AfD tag and attempted to request page protection. Are you suggesting that you are using that account also? —C.Fred (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[Re GGLD's comment "I would delete the AfD on here if so.… Wikipedia are monitoring this due to the politicised nature of the article."] And you would promptly be reported for disruption if you had. If Wikipedia were really monitoring, a Foundation account would have either chimed in or contacted me directly. Neither has happened. —C.Fred (talk) 01:40, 6 May 2017 (UTC) (context added 18:06, 7 May 2017 (UTC) after GGLD deleted a remark he made)[reply]

This is getting excessively heated. I've retracted some of my remarks. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:27, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not Wikipedia's job to be an "unrestricted" source of all possible information — we have specific notability standards that have to be met for a Wikipedia article to become appropriate. If all you had to do to get a person into Wikipedia was show that they had received one or two pieces of media coverage, and the context in which that coverage was being given didn't matter at all, then we would have to keep an article about the woman a mile down the road from my parents who woke up one morning and found a pig in her front yard.

Also, Wikipedia is not a "citizen journalism" project, and we don't keep articles based on people's predictions about who's "due" to win an election that hasn't happened yet, either. After the election results are in, we start new articles about the newly-elected MPs who didn't already have one yet — but they don't get advance articles on here just for being candidates, except in the exceedingly rare instance that you can show their candidacy to be a lot more notable than the norm on the basis of a lot more media coverage than what every candidate for office could always show. Bearcat (talk) 13:55, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - After reading more about the recent local elections, I've changed my mind on this issue. Wikipedia policy is to maintain pages for elected officials at the national and sub-national authority levels, but not below. In most English-language countries (Canada, US, Australia, even Scotland and Wales) these are well-defined. In England, they are not; the recent elections created positions such as "Mayor Of Greater Manchester" for the first time. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:POLOUTCOMES states, "local politicians whose office would not ordinarily be considered notable may still clear the bar if they have received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role." Furthermore, "to claim notability on this basis, the coverage must be shown to have nationalized or internationalized well beyond their own local area alone." In this case, the subject is the recipient of local coverage of his service on the Poole Borough Council, and has not been the subject of national news. The community consensus on WP:POLITICIAN has not been to extend the term of sub-national office to include local borough councils or similar municipal or county office (The text of the policy is explicit to state "statewide/provincewide"). Because the subject does not fit within WP:POLITICIAN, the appropriate standard is WP:GNG - the sourcing in the article and through a news search fail to show significant coverage. --Enos733 (talk) 04:14, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Regardless of what party they're standing for, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already eligible for an article for some other reason independent of his candidacy itself, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to get an article out of it. And serving on a local borough council is not, in and of itself, grounds for a Wikipedia article either — municipal councillors are presumed notable only in major metropolitan global cities on the order of London, not in every city, town or village that exists. And every candidate in every election would always clear GNG if four or five pieces of local campaign coverage was all you had to show to get them over the bar — coverage of a non-winning candidate for election to Parliament has to nationalize before it builds a case for GNG.
And for added bonus, even the media sources here largely aren't about Plummer; three of the five just namecheck his existence in coverage of something else; one of the remaining two is a letter to the editor, not news content written by the newspaper's staff; and the last is a purely WP:ROUTINE candidate sketch plainly submitted by his own campaign. None of this constitutes enough substantive coverage about him to mount a valid "passes GNG" claim. And, by the way, I'm Canadian, and about the only difference between the UK's election system and ours is the whole "UK runs all the ballot boxes to a single central count location while Canada counts them onsite at the original polling station" thing, which has no bearing on candidate notability at all — so GGLD can spare me the "you don't understand why the UK is different" angle.
GGLD, further, is getting dangerously close to disruption with their continual unfounded allegations that this has anything to do with ideological bias — and, frankly, given that (a) this is the only topic GGLD has ever worked on, and (b) the "LD" part of their username happens to imply a direct personal connection to the very LibDem party that Plummer is a candidate for, my conflict of interest radar is beeping rather loudly here. Bearcat (talk) 13:44, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He obviously has a conflict of interest, and probably doesn't even know they're disallowed. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any way that the media references constitute notability. My claim is that, due to the government structure in England, local authorities should be considered the "sub-national government level". There's no equivalent body to the Parliament of British Columbia between the local council and the House of Commons. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the purposes of NPOL, the "national" level is the United Kingdom as a whole, not England in isolation. Westminster is the national parliament, and the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies are the subnational level — if Westminster ever actually followed through on the proposals to create a separate assembly for England and/or various English regions, then those would pass the first-order subnational criterion, but their absence does not reify the local authorities into an NPOL-passing level of government.

Delete - not seeing any significant coverage in reliable source Amisom (talk) 14:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - to reiterate my position: Mike Plummer is a highly influential government official in Poole, Dorset, UK. He was created a Wikipedia page due to the importance of the 2017 snap election in this specific constituency. He is due a surprise victory. His achievements should not be downplayed as done so. The walking bus is the largest ever and his prominence in UK local government speaks for itself. Furthermore, Mike Plummer meets the following criteria: Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[12] This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them (He held subnational office.

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". (See above.) Local political officials are covered under the Wikipedia terms. (talk) is correct in asserting that subnational in the UK would be local authorities. This is a point I have been trying to make. How can Amisom claim no reliable sources? There are 5 real newspaper articles from the politician's region. I am covering the local election here for my citizen journalism blog and would not upload the other candidates (exc. the MP) to Wikipedia as, unlike Plummer, they have no important history record online and would not make for an article. By the way, GGLD are my initials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GGLD (talk • contribs) 19:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is not that "He was created a Wikipedia page", *you* created a Wikipedia page for him, and you have been arguing on his behalf. You don't seem to understand the Wikipedia rules regarding conflicts of interest. While I'm not suggesting you have any particular role in his campaign, you are clearly biased on his behalf. You make no argument that this seat is more notable than any of the other 600-odd seats up for election this cycle. The claim that election to a local council constitutes notability is a policy one, and no amount of media coverage will aid it. References in the article to primary sources on his previous elections (i.e. election results, or press coverage containing quotes from him on his election to the council) might be useful, however. Power~enwiki (talk) 19:27, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An officeholder at the local level of government does not pass GNG just because five pieces of local media coverage exist; five pieces of local media coverage always exist for every person who holds office at that level anywhere. For a local authority councillor to clear NPOL/GNG because of the local position itself, the coverage has to expand to a volume far out of proportion to what would be routinely expected to exist — such as nationalized or internationalized coverage. For instance, if he did something so hugely attention-grabbing that sources from Canada or the United States could be shown to have started covering him, then he would have a valid claim of notability as a local authority councillor — because that coverage would show him more notable than the thousands of other local authority councillors. But at the local office level, Wikipedia does not extend an automatic presumption of notability to all councillors — the sourcing has to mark him out as a special case for some reason beyond the norm.

And, as has already been pointed out to you, Wikipedia is not a "citizen journalism" project. We do not exist as an extension of your blog, and we do not exist to hold the results of your personal citizen journalism efforts in the domain of local municipal politics in your own hometown. We have specific notability standards that have to be achieved for an article to become earned, and we are not just a free platform for anybody to write about just anything they want to. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please read what I wrote: I am covering the local election here for my citizen journalism blog and would not upload the other candidates (exc. the MP) to Wikipedia as, unlike Plummer, they have no important history record online and would not make for an article. That's my only "bias" which can hardly be called that. I made my argument that it's important as this is tipped to be a surprise victory. Please listen to me for a change instead of berating a new contributor. I have submitted a formal complaint to the foundation for your treatment. Moreover, I have added multiple more reliable sources. GGLD (talk) 11:12, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While the Liberal Democrats' profile may be used as a source to support information, it doesn't hold water for notability purposes because it's not an independent source. The BBC, obviously, is an independent and reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 14:18, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Being a candidate for office does not make you notable per WP:NPOL. Notability must be proven separately and Plummer has credible claim to notability. AusLondonder (talk) 04:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - sources are varied, reliable and aplenty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GGLD (talk • contribs) 21:02, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are a mix of primary sources that cannot assist notability at all, and purely WP:ROUTINE coverage of the election in the election area's own local media — which, as has already been pointed out to you several times above, is not enough, in either volume or geographic range, to make an as yet unelected candidate for office notable just for being a candidate in and of itself. And you don't get to "vote" more than once in an AFD discussion — you can comment as many times as you like, but you don't get to preface any followup comments with a "keep" once you've voted keep once. Bearcat (talk) 01:07, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've changed my mind a second time. Without a single reference covering his election to a local council, or any contemporaneous news coverage of his actions while a member of the council (apart from Parliamentary campaigns), the page must be deleted. Very specifically, I see no proof that the phrase "Newtown ward councillor" on the LibDem bio refers to an elected government position, and not a position in the Liberal Democrat political party.
