I can find no evidence of notability for this brand of cement; the only reference is a press release by an importer, and all I find online is another press release by them. The article was PRODded already, but the PROD was removed by the creator (in an edit that did improve the article) so I don't believe it can be rePRODded. The PROD replaced a nomination for speedy deletion as pure promotion, which I don't believe is applicable in its current state (although others may disagree), and I find no other applicable speedy deletion criterion, since it doesn't fall into one of the categories for "no claim of significance".

  • Delete, likely hoax.--Grahame (talk) 00:24, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • UndecidedDelete as yet. If it is a hoax, the article itself would appear not. "International Historians Association" has non social media google hits but I have not checked to see if they are the same organisation here. Importantly though, a trustee for "International Historians Association" was a registered business entity for Australian taxation purposes until 24 April 2017. I think existence is satisfied but not necessarily GNG. Also note creation was by a now indefinitely blocked account. Aoziwe (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Galkatas definitely meets GNG - sources are evident in a BEFORE (which are absent in the low quality article). The question here really is about merging to improvised firearm while leaving a redirect to the section there. Paltik, Galkatas, and Improvised firearm (which seems to be focused on the really improvised side as opposed to more organized low-scale production by blacksmiths and metal shops) all need improvement. I'm undecided beyond this not being a delete (so keep or merge).Icewhiz (talk) 13:29, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets GNG. Has characteristics that are separate from other metal shop production run in other areas of the world. Was used in Sri Lankan conflicts. improvised firearm is a poor merge target as it focuses on truly improvised weapons and not weapons produced by gunsmiths at metal shops. If we have an article on every Colt and Carl Gustav model, we can have an article on a notable regional weapon industry.Icewhiz (talk) 06:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As mentioned by Icewhiz, this passes the GNG. It might or might not be merged later, but for now, keep it should be. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the problem I see with this and similar articles is they will tend to develop separately -needlessly, and as POV Forks. Contemporary firearms range from open large scale manufacture down to clandestine individual production, with a wide range of expertise as well. This is, so to speak, a three-dimensional model, not a binary split. Anmccaff (talk) 03:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • reply Where is your evidence for the league turning pro? Govvy (talk) 16:07, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Waterford Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk have since joined Cork in being fully professional.

Unfortunately as that article says "While 52-week contracts are becoming increasingly more common again, particularly at clubs like Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers, they remain the exception rather than the rule", it pretty conclusively proves that the league isn't fully professional.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:09, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there is tons of League of Ireland players who haven't made an appearance in the "fully pro" leagues as you say. The fully pro league argument is thin and these pages are very useful for League of Ireland fans especially during the transfer window to find out first hand info on players.

I've been absent from en.Wikipedia for a long time, so I'm more than happy to be found wrong with this nomination, but after stumbling upon it browsing, I thought it seemed tremendously non-notable and basically just a puff piece. There don't seem to be any Reliable Sources for the article, and I don't think being a Member of the Youth Parliament qualifies someone on its own, especially with BLP concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinny87 (talkcontribs) 14:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete an overly promotional article on a non-notable journalist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:34, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Article has a very definite advertorial tint, and nothing in it represents a proper notability claim for the purposes of getting a Wikipedia article. Serving in a youth parliament is not an WP:NPOL pass, existing as a journalist is not an automatic WP:JOURNALIST pass, and starting his own small air charter company is not an automatic pass over our notability standards for businesspeople. And the sourcing here is for the birds, comprising a mix of primary sources (his own LinkedIn, tweets, YouTube videos, etc.), coverage of other things or people in which he's the bylined author and not the subject (which are not sources that support the notability of a journalist), coverage of other things or people which merely namechecks his existence and is not about him (not notability-assisting sources either), and purely local coverage which is about him but is being given in the context of nothing that passes a notability criterion at all (e.g. suing a traffic cop over a parking ticket, starting a vigilante operation to catch somebody who stole his laptop.) Exactly none of this represents a valid reason why he would qualify a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable company (WP:NCORP). References don't establish notability given they are promotional/advertorials: (1) the Forbes article establishes the owners as entrepreneurs. The company is mentioned in passing. (2) this reads like a press release, (3) is about a singer's wedding (where the ring is mentioned) - probable promo, (4) might pass as editorial, however the use of provided picture material is suspicious, (5) promo, (6) re-reporting the Forbes article.

  • Keep. Zwift has over 300,000 users so it's certainly notable, and Watopia is the main element of the system. Ideally a Zwift article should be created (it's about as obscure as the Tour de France) and this content merged in, but pending that, Watopia stays. Dan100 (Talk) 15:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now, or ideally hold fire until someone recreates Zwift, as I'm sure they will before too long, so its content can be WP:SMERGEd there. There's already a Draft:Zwift page which only needs a bit of editing and more references, which are straightforward to find, e.g. Gizmodo, Bloomberg, Denver Post, Daily Telegraph and (more than a little ironically) Outside magazine.

This page is nothing but a one-sided POV fork of Genetically modified food controversies, which pejoratively labels criticism of biotechnology companies as "conspiracy theory."

  • Keep. GMOs are a polarising topic. Like other similarly controversial subjects there is criticism that is justified (environmental concerns and IP issues) and then false information that can only be described as a conspiracy theory (deliberate attempts to poison the world). An article that examines the more out there claims is valid. Personally I would like to see this in the larger context of GMO activism, which is a more nuanced and interesting (to me) topic, but there is no WP:Deadline and there is not much wrong with the article as is. AIRcorn (talk) 21:46, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This more or less is intended to behave the same as Climate change controversy and climate change conspiracy theory (not a WP:OSE argument, but an example of how fringe topics need to be handled sometimes) so a redirect isn't really appropriate. The controversies article handles the general controversy and how sources like the scientific literature address those, etc. The notable but pure quackery (WP:NFRINGE is at play here) is what goes into this article because it would be undue weight in the controversies article even though the content and idea of conspiracy theories in this topic is notable.

  • The article lumps in a set of loosely related ideas under the pejorative label “conspiracy theory,” thus associating justified concerns (e.g. “powerless farmers forced to pay ever increasing amounts to anonymous international companies who profit from the cost of the crop seed and from the cost of the herbicides used to spray them”) with spurious and short-lived internet memes about the Zika virus and Chipotle.
The second sentence of the lede reads as follows:

These conspiracy theories include claims that agribusinesses, especially Monsanto, have suppressed data showing that GMOs cause harm, deliberately cause food shortages to promote the use of GM food, or have co-opted government agencies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration or scientific societies such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Industry influence on the FDA and the AAAS is a mater of record (Michael R. Taylor, [1], [2], [3], ), so to call this idea a “conspiracy theory” is wrong—since, according to the definition on Wikipedia, a “conspiracy theory” posits an “unwarranted” conspiracy (and is a “derogatory” term.)
The last section of the article, titled “Ethical Criticism”, showcases a long quotation smearing GMO critics as “paranoid and misinformed” or as privileged Whole Foods shoppers. Its underlying premise is that biotech foods are truly wonder foods that will save the world, and so anyone who opposes them is wittingly or unwittingly doing something unethical. This is not useful, encyclopedic information.

  • Question/observation for keep voters above. Check out the most recent addition to this article, a description of two films "which countered the growing anti-GMO sentiment among the public". In my view this provides a great example of how the "conspiracy theory" label creeps into a smear against all opposition to genetic engineering. Notice that Genetic Literacy Project is given as a source. I don' see anything here discriminating between "quack" and "legitimate" criticism; I see all criticism being painted with a broad brush. To those "keep" voters who believe this article needs to exist in its own right in order to discriminate, specifically, the quackery, do you consider this most recent edit acceptable? I would really like to have a dialogue about this, as I indicated above. Thanks, groupuscule (talk) 18:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed the article Steve Millar and its edit history. Some observations:

  • The article itself includes nothing of notability. The subject attended high school, released three self-produced albums, appeared in groups of no significance beyond being local bands, and apparently is not involved in anything of note other than performing with a band that is at hire to play for events.
  • The edit history indicates that most of the article was written by unregistered editors (only IP addresses and redlink authors are noted) and that the appearance of established editors (myself included) was for general cleanup.
  • Meanwhile, the only citation links to a Mac site that has nothing I could find to confirm the subject's biography.

I could be wrong but this article strikes me as being the work of people who are close to the subject. What I am certain of, however, is that the use of language here is promotional (making more of things than is there) and that the lack of significant detail (information of interest to general readers) indicates little could be done to improve the article.

  • Delete. This makes no claim that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC, cites no reliable source coverage to support anything, and has a very definite advertorial tint to the writing. Quite literally the closest thing I can see to any actual basis for an article here is the hatnote indicating not to confuse him with Steve Miller the joker smoker midnight toker, and that's not a strong basis — helping an independent musician disambiguate himself from a much more famous person with a similar name is not, in and of itself, a Wikipedia inclusion criterion that would exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG. For the record, I'm also adding his one album which has a separate article to this discussion, as it makes no claim of notability (or even any real substance besides being an album by him, the end) either.

  • Keep. The article needs new references, but that alone is not really enough for deleting it. His obituary seems to support his notability, and there is a lot of coverage in various sources. Fresh sources are rarer, but notability is not temporary. This is an article in need of cleanup and referencing, so outright deletion would be too harsh. WP:NOTTEMPORARY and WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP.

  • Comment Frivolous nomination. " ... HURI's founder, Omeljan Pritsak, the first Mykhailo S. Hrushevs'kyi Professor of Ukrainian History and a scholar of broad scope and erudition, who served as the Institute's first director until his retirement in 1989". The founder of an institute at Harvard is certainly notable. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep. Named professorship at Harvard, founder and director of a notable research institute, founder and editor-in-chief of a notable journal, highly cited for a historian, multiple books widely held in libraries, a two-volume festschrift and a memorial monograph in his honour, multiple obituaries in national newspapers and peer reviewed journals (cited in the article)... this passes both WP:PROF and the WP:GNG with flying colours. Nominator has completely failed to do a proper WP:BEFORE. – Joe (talk) 18:53, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep. In addition to all of the above, here is a lengthy news obituary from the Boston Globe thru HighBeam Research, describing him as an "internationally renowned scholar in Ukrainian studies". Clear pass of WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:21, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Snow keep. Pritsak is a prominent figure for the new Ukrainian science. Coming to Ukraine at the end of soviet era he acquired some opponents among the old soviet bureaucracy. The traces of that criticism we see in Ukrainian wiki today. Some users are vandalising Pritsak`s legacy. So this nomination is probably from that sort of subjective negativity.

  • Keep for bad nomination and many evidence that the subject is regularly mentioned in Pakistani press. I also see many sources like this related to him. He certainly passes WP:GNG as well known government official. Also the nominator is merely looking for additional sources (per his statement above) and this is wrong place to ask that.

Very promotional in tone. Claims that the subject has published a large number of papers, but a review of the publications on Google Scholar and ResearchGate shows that a very high proportion are in journals that appear on Beall's list and its successors - i.e. predatory open access, the academic equivalent of vanity press.

  • Delete. Whether the papers are in legitimate journals or not isn't directly relevant, since we don't judge notability by what a person has written, but by what has been written about them. What is relevant is that a large portion of the citations to the subject's work are also in predatory/vanity journals, and these can't be considered coverage in reliable sources for the purposes of WP:N. Combined with the low citation counts and h-index, I think this makes the case for WP:PROF#C1 very weak indeed. I also can't find anything that would indicate a pass of any of the other PROF criteria, or any media coverage that would count towards the GNG. – Joe (talk) 19:29, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Really, the proper solution is to create a list to which all these likely religiously-motivated attacks on mosques which are borderline notable can be merged to, but such a list does not exist and Violence against Muslims in India only lists the most serious incidents. This incident was covered in-depht at the time, [23][24] received coverage during the history of the trial, [25][26][27] and is still cited in adademic works as an example of Hindu religious violence against Indian Muslims. [28][29][30]. The level of coverage in academic sources as part of a nexus of other similar attacks militates against outright deletion.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:17, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say cannot see any level of coverage in academic journals almost all of them given before the verdict including the statement came out now no investigation is going on in this case
3:2010 only states An Indian media report noted that "the involvement of Hindu groups in terror activities was suspected" mentions various incidents including JalnaPharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:56, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure how you looked at academic journals, but a Google Scholar search of "Jalna mosque 2004 bomb" gives what looks like 10 papers discussing the attack as an example of Hindu violence against Muslims, which only strengthens why this should be kept or merged somewhere as an alternative to deletion. As for your other points:
1. It's a source that the author, Dr. Puniyani who is a professor and prominent activist on the issue, [31][32] considered and decided to include. The fact that from the blog there is taken from major news channel with source links, is a sign that it's a source which has editorial standards, and that would've been part of the consideration in the author deciding to include such a list.
2. The source does state that the crude bombs happened and the number of injuries, but is discussed in the context of communal violence in India. The author, Prof. Kumar, is an Indian criminal law professor and used this attack as a prominent example in a section about "official reports of communal violence" in a book about anti-Muslim communal violence in India.
3.The point of the MEMRI source, like the other two books I cited, was to show that continued to be cited as a prominent example of Hindu attacks on Muslims years after the incident. The presence of such academic sources mentioning this context behind the attack is sufficient to keep this for now and/or seriously consider an alternative to deletion such as merging this to a relevant list/article on similar attacks instead of outright deletion, which would follow how academic RS treat it. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 01:57, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No conceivable notability. I think one of the reasons for the decline of the Speedy A7 by Ritchie333 might not have been appropriate--that it has been unchallenged for 7 years merely indicates our incompetent review of articles at the time. But Ritchie's request to check for sources first was certainly reasonable. There's nothing but notices, which is just what would be expected fro the content of the article. But from their web site and similar information they seem an extraordinarily worthy cause, and if anyone can find information to write an article, i wouldn't object in the slightest. .

  • Associate professor status has nothing to do with notability. Walsh has received a Rome Prize [1] and a Fulbright, and been a named visiting professor at a major university (Criteria 2 at WP:ACADEMIC). He has received large competitive grants from the National Geographic Society and the Loeb Classical Library Foundation at Harvard University. [2] The importance of his book can be seen in this review, by a leading figure in the field of classical archaeology.[3] His current work has attracted significant media attention. [4] [5] Hossiejojo (talk) 21:08, 14 November 2017 (UTC) Hossiejojo[reply]

References

@Hossiejojo: Not directly, but I mentioned it because in previous AfDs the consensus has been that associate professors rarely have had time to make the significant impact that WP:PROF requires, and so we generally end up deleting them unless there's something exceptional. The awards you mention, while impressive, are still relatively junior. I don't think they meet #C2's "major academic awards, such as the Nobel Prize" or "confer a high level of academic prestige". Research grants are not something we consider because they hardly ever produce significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The review and media coverage help, but reviews of academic monographs are pretty much routine, and I don't think there's quite enough in the press articles to pass the GNG. And ultimately, his very low citation counts are a strong indication that simply not enough has been said about his scholarship to support a balanced biography at this time. – Joe (talk) 21:46, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe Roe: First, the WP:ACADEMIC page says that only one of the criteria need to be fulfilled. I gave you a number of pieces of data. But the idea that the Rome Prize is not "major" -- its own page on Wikipedia lists every person who has received it, including Walsh. How many other awards get that kind of treatment? The American Academy in Rome is the most prestigious of the CAORC centers, which are the most important US overseas research institutes. Yes, getting your book reviewed is de rigueur, but there are multiple highly-positive reviews of Walsh's book in major venues including in the American Journal of Archaeology, the most-important journal in the field (see his Humanities Commons site). It seems like you're just being arbitrary here. Hossiejojo (talk) 22:12, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Rome Prize is essentially a one year, early career fellowship/residency at the AAR and is given to thirty people a year. It's no Nobel. I don't agree that the things you have put forward amount to a pass of WP:PROF, but lets see what other editors think. – Joe (talk) 01:01, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete lists are a dime a dozen on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Thus Wikipedia having an allegedly complete list of everyone who has recieved the Rome Prize is not a sign that winning it is a sign of notability. The list articles on the Rome Prize are severly lacking in citations. Also, in cases like Miss California and many other awards we have shown that having such a long list does not gaurantee that being on the list makes someone notable. Well under half, and probably only a quarter of recent, winners of the Rome Prize have articles. Other articles on Rome Prize winners may be ripe for deletion, since they often lack good sources. Awards of this level are not a sign in and of themselves that the person is a major and impactful scholar. The rules mean that starting scholars rarely are notable, and old established ones often are. That is the reality of how academics works, be it good or bad. Wikipedia is meant to reflect the reality of reliable source coverage, and starting scholars generally lack such coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The fact that for scholars such as archeologists the Rome Prize seems to be largely limited to those who study the general area of Italy makes it even less of a distinguished award than it is for emerging figures in the arts, where the competition at least in theory is an open competition of all artists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:55, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Struggling to find any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Edwardx (talk) 11:04, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Hi Edwardx (talk), CAPTAIN RAJU

So first off he's not a businessman to be a "Run-of-the-mill businessman," he's a film producer with some 10+ years of work behind him. I'm one of the major contributors of Afghan/Iranian/Indian personalities and organizations and most of the articles I create or contribute to are 'flagged' because Western editors do not find them "notable" enough. Please see my talk page for many other articles flagged for similar reasons. This one, I won't even argue for because there's enough evidence of notability. ~User: Unknown Master

As we speak, he's the Editor-in-Chief of a highly regarded startup of India: http://www.thenewsminute.com/article/josh-talks-raises-funding-freshworks-founder-and-others-71756 / https://www.joshtalks.com/about

- Also, a similar flag has been raised on the poor guy who heads Afghanistan's film organization, one of the country's well-known directors and someone who has been covered extensively by media. If interested let's get that article populated as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latif_Ahmadi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unknown Master (talkcontribs) 06:14, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep keep this page. I don't see why a popular product being used in the majority of the world would needs to be deleted. The reason as you state that all urls given as sources are primary or have a vested interest is not true. BLI Byers lab is an independent test laboratory. Africa Print is a leading independent magazine. mynewsdesk is not affiliated. Data Manager Online is not affiliated and is an independent ict news magazine. solutions-magazine is an independent website, not affiliated. Of course the websites that write about this product are in the ICT business. About the side note, if you have checked all the articles nominated for deletion by user Rentier who marked the page for deletion, you will see that he seems to mark only software related products (tenfold, opusmodus, sifter, wordpress mp, ...).

I went back and had another look at the sources that you claim are independent and prove notability, buyer's lab is not coverage just a statement that the product has been tested by their lab as have many thousands of products, had it won an award from BLI this would have helped...but it didn't. The africaprint article is a press release and not suitable as a source to prove GNG. Mynewsdesk is also a press release, as is data manager online. None of these count towards proving notability. Solutions magazine is a deadlink but judging from the title it looks exactly like a reprint of this page with the same title on the Ricoh website [33].

  • Delete (or redirect, should the article about the parent company stay) - per my original rationale for redirecting: lack of independent notability. Neither WP:GNG nor WP:CORPDEPTH are met.

Rentier (talk) 17:17, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I understand your remark Rentier, but there are pages which have far less information, resources, etc... and these pages come away with it by adding a "This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.". Maybe by adding a stub you can encourage others to add more information instead of deleting information. And about moving this to the parent company. I'm not sure who owns the rights about this product. It's creator, or its distributor, or both. That's a tricky one if you want to move it. This is why I would suggest to keep it. This product is as widely uses as Foxit Reader and that page contains less information and is also a separate page.JuFo (talk)

Dương Dynasty (An Nam)[edit]

Dương Dynasty (An Nam) (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)

The original contributor to the article has been banned for creating hoaxes and adding untrue information to articles. This article is plausibly based, with Dương Tam Kha being a single king during a short period of the purported 'dynasty'.

Almost all of the sources are either unlinked or in foreign language, which is a big red flag given the contributing editor's history. There are a couple of sources that are not reliable sources, but do mention it as a dynasty:[34] [35], but they are not what could be considered 'reliable' for historical verification.

Seems like a big red flag that the editor has to resort to sources such as tea recipies and other sources that don't mention the subject at all.

Much of the content of the article is unverifiable with the sources given such as: "Although attacked by the Tang Dynasty more than once, Dương Dynasty always pushed back in revolt against the Tang Dynasty, and the heroes come from around the An Nam for retain they homeland during massive number of wars." which has three refs that I can't check (and again given the contributing user's history, is a massive red flag)

It also appears that the blocked user has been editing the article under two different IPs recently (Including restoring the article from a redirect with different content, which possibly makes this article G5able, but this was contested). If this article is restored as a redirect, I request that it is protected.

I suggest that we TNT this submission with no prejudice for recreating an article if someone decides to recreate it with real sources (if this period is really considered a 'dynasty' by reliable sources, which I am still not convinced of--See the talk page where others have raised concerns).

  • DELETE - the article was created by ADHZ07111989, who was banned for repeatedly writing hoax, "alternative history" articles glorifying the Yang/Dương surname. I turned it into a redirect years ago as there's nothing useful or verifiable, but it was recently restored by an IP who's almost certainly a sock of ADHZ07111989 [36].

Kien So and Phu Lac- merged together to make Sung Binh at the end of Duong Dynasty), and Thuong Lac. Tung Nguyen. Quan Minh. 3. In the period of Tuy and Duong Dynasties King Tuy ."

Comment The issue here is not "verifiable facts", but verifiable scholarly relevance, which is amply documented. Atlantis is highly notable, regardless of whether it ever existed. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 15:30, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that is that this article is not based on scholarly sources, nor is the content verifiable via scholarly evidence, so either way we need to TNT the content. Given the editor's history of hoaxing, removing the edit history from this article is probably a good idea (I don't often invoke WP:TNT, but in this case I find it appropriate). If someone wants to create a new article using scholarly sources and verifiable information, that will be totally OK. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 18:16, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Miss Lilian Allen, lecturer in Applied arts, University of Manitoba, will be the chief speaker at the meeting of the Winnipeg Horticultural Society, (date, time, location)... there will be a table centre competition, entries to be subimtted by members and their friends. Decorations used need not be flowers, but such material as coloured paper, evergreens and so forth. Applications for the competion may be sent to... (name address)."
and this one:
Rent that extra room LIlian Allen of the University of Manitoba commences a new series of talks entitled "Furnishing the Home Front". (location, time) "rent that extra Room" is the title of the first talk.
and finally this one, which is a picture of her reading amgazine while waiting to board steamship.

When I first came across this page it looked almost like a speedy delete candidate, but I thought cleaning it up first would be best. I've trimmed it down (removing the worst of the unsourced claims) and there are still a very large number of very grand statements that I simply cannot find reference for. The sources provided in the article, while talking about the film, are largely promotional (pre-release) and quote from the head of the AAT (who was also an executive producer). If someone can provide references for the multitude of {{cn}} tags I will happily withdraw this nomination, but otherwise I feel that it's an article about a smallish film where the page creator was trying to stretch the truth to make it seem more important.

The result was keep. Bushranger is correct: named geographic features such as islands pass WP:GEOLAND. ♠PMC(talk) 23:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC) redirect to Pearl and Hermes Atoll. Although we usually keep named features per GEOLAND, we can also redirect them when there's a dearth of information about them. It is clear that this Bird Island is not the same notable Bird Island specifically called out in Executive Order 1019 (see File:Hawaiian_Islands_Reservation_EO_1019_illustration.jpg, they're way too far apart), which is where my impression of notability had come from. Although this book source was brought up at the AfD, it is only a single source and unclear how in-depth it is because the actual page is not available for preview. Happily, there's a copy at a library near me, so I've put it on order and will be able to check the information in it within a few weeks. In the meantime, unless or until more verifiable information about this Bird Island can be found, a redirect is suitable and the island can be covered at the atoll's article. ♠PMC(talk) 21:06, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. Named geographic features such as islands pass WP:GEOLAND. Especially when they have book coverage. There is no "not notable enough" in this area.

@The Bushranger One ping only I was under the impression that as Pearl and Hermes Atoll exists as an article, then this island is not notable enough. However after reading the essay you linked, I stand corrected. My apologies for the AFD. I am not sure what the correct procedure is to get the AFD removed, so if you can guide me through that as well; I will appreciate it. I actually made this account to prune an article about a jihadist. He had been given a number of titles etc and the article was being touted on social media as a validation for suicide attacks.

  • Keep per The Bushranger. --doncram 15:37, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Following Gene93k's note below, there is "Bird Island (Hawaiian Islands)" which exists as a redirect. But it redirects to Nihoa a different article. Is the subject of the current article the same or different? Maybe "Bird Island" is a nickname of more than one island, or this article simple needs to be converted to another redirect to Nihoa. --doncram 17:45, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to GNIS, there are two "Bird Islands" in Hawaii. One is a synonym for Nihoa while the other one lies hundreds of miles further west in Pearl and Hermes Atoll. The Mapcarta reference in the article specifies the one in Pearl and Hermes Atoll. The naming conflict may be resolved with a hat note or a move to Bird Island (Pearl and Hermes Atoll). • Gene93k (talk) 18:57, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The two articles each have coordinates which do point to different islands, indeed. And it seems useful to have two articles to differentiate between them; it would be unhelpful for Wikipedia to explain about one of them without the other, causing confusion. --doncram 20:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That muddled my looking for something on it as well, but yes, there are two Bird Islands; Nihoa, and this one in the Pearl-and-Hermes. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:56, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current co-ordinates point to an area of open water. The only source in the article conflates the location of this island with South East Island. The article currently fails WP:V. Can we get an accurate location of this island on a map?--Pontificalibus (talk) 09:19, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Google Maps satellite view only goes in close enough to see the whole atoll on which the islands are dots. Map mode allows a greater resolution showing the individual islands. While the Mapcarta entry shows South East Island, Bird Island is just to the west according to Google Maps. • Gene93k (talk) 23:54, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bing Maps as just one example shows our co-ords appearing in open water roughly halfway between Southeast Island and Sand Island (not labelled but visible as a small island of sand). There is clearly no island there. Our single ref, Mapcarta says Bird Island is "nearby to Southeast Island, east of Sand Island" but the position it gives on the map is identical to that of Southeast Island. Either "Bird Island" is a synonym of "Sand Island" or Southeast Island and the Mapcarta text is wrong, or it doesn't exist. Either way the article fails WP:V--Pontificalibus (talk) 06:11, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This NOAA site states there are seven islands in total on the atoll. The accompanying map names them and fails to mention Sand Island, placing Bird Island where USGS put Sand Island. I think the only sensible thing is to mention Bird Island in the atoll article, not have a standalone page. WP:GEOLAND concurs for unpopulated features that don't meet the GNG.--Pontificalibus (talk) 20:31, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Since this is not a settlement, the correct title should be Bird Island (Hawaiian Islands), which already exists as a redirect. A page move is in order if this article survives AfD. • Gene93k (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to admins: The nominator has withdrawn the nomination above. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:21, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Pearl and Hermes Atoll. The nominator may have withdrawn this but I don't see sufficient sources to base an article on. A redirect is more appropriate per WP:GEOLAND "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river." --Pontificalibus (talk) 09:17, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On further consideration I am leaning to delete. A search for "Bird Island Hawaii" gives this as the number one result and Bird Island (Hawaiian Islands) as the fifth result, although the latter is clearly the more notable. Deleting this would still enable people to find any mention of a bird island in Pearl and Hermes Atoll while at the same time giving search priority to the more notable island.--Pontificalibus (talk) 06:45, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is no "more notable", and we absolutely shouldn't be basing keep-or-delete decisions on the basis of search engine optimization. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:19, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is clearly a primary topic for "Bird Island, Hawaii" and it's not this island. Decisions on redirects should be based only on search optimization.--Pontificalibus (talk) 17:51, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then perhaps this should be moved to Bird Island (Pearl and Hermes) with Bird Island, Hawaii pointing to the other island? - The Bushranger One ping only 06:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I closed the nomination as keep, since the nominator had withdrew before any delete votes. However, Pontificalibus reverted me although his vote came after the withdrawal by the nominator! For attention (@The Bushranger:) --Mhhossein talk 16:55, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
An early non-admin closure was not appropriate given my argument set out above. That the nominator withdrew is irrelevant - if it helps, imagine that I would renominate it myself. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:51, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Closing the nomination was not valid; Pontificalibus was right to reopen it. It could have been closed by a non-involved party (and, although I don't like the practice, perhaps by an involved party) during the short window when the nomination had been withdrawn and there were no dissenting votes outstanding. But "Bird Island"'s notability is a fair topic to discuss, and closing this early as if there is unanimous opinion is not right. About the merits, I myself don't like the fact that the coordinates do seem to point to water, and no one seems to really know where the island is. Although I voted "Keep" above and still think that is marginally the best, the option of covering the topic in the atoll article also seems reasonable. If that is done then I think the outcome here should be to "Redirect" to an {{anchor}} in the Bird Island disambiguation page, which page should be revised to include an anchor and to cover both of the Hawaii ones. --doncram 19:10, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Smartyllama could you elaborate as to how you think it passes GEOLAND? Which bit of that policy says we should have an article and not a redirect? --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comprehensive USGS source This USGS report (pages 37-49) states Pearl and Hermes Atoll consists of "North, Little North, Southeast, Grass, and Seal-Kittery Islands and several small sand spits". This is further supported by the hi-res imagery at NCCOS which doesn't show any land present at the supposed location of Bird Island and also states the atoll consists of "several permanent and numerous ephemeral islets". Perhaps someone named a sand spit Bird Island at one point, whether it's still there is in doubt, and in any case there isn't enough to support a separate article, but it could be mentioned in the atoll's article.--Pontificalibus (talk) 07:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG.

However, the notability guidelines still do not seem to be met -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:15, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Full disclosure, I created the article, but he clearly meets the notability criterion of "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." I am working on adding more content and sources, especially for the last paragraph. To explain further, the article's subject was twice elected state chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, and it appears that others in equivalent positions are considered to meet Wikipedia's standards (see Ken Martin (politician)). Furthermore, there is substantive media coverage of his terms as party chairman, including at least one in-depth feature and other quasi-biographical pieces, and his candidacies for Senate and Congress were extensively covered by the local media. This isn't someone who just appears on the ballot every now and then but someone whose role in Wisconsin politics has been the subject of extensive media coverage.

  • Delete (draftify also acceptable.) Being a state political party chair is not an automatic notability freebie that guarantees an article just because the person existed — and while I can't actually see any of the sources being cited, because the links all lead to a login wall rather than the actual content being cited, their headlines do not suggest that Flynn was the subject of enough of them (as opposed to being namechecked or quoted in coverage of other things or people) to give him the benefit of the doubt on whether he clears WP:GNG or not.
    This was also, for the record, recreated shortly after another user approached me, even though I wasn't the nominator the first time and thus there was no real reason for me to be the approachee, to play the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS game because two other past chairs of the Wisconsin Democratic Party had articles without being well-sourced — which backfired, as OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments routinely do, as both articles promptly got nominated for deletion too: one got kept because it was able to be sourced much better than it was or this is, while the other got deleted. And I remain convinced that the real reason that people are so determined to create an article about him is not his past role as a state political party chair, but the desire to create a campaign brochure for his current campaign in the gubernatorial primary (which is not in and of itself a reason why a person gets an article on here either.)
    So, as always, no prejudice against recreation if somebody can do better than this and/or he wins the gubernatorial election next year — but the article claims nothing about him that would get him an automatic inclusion freebie now, and the sourcing still isn't where it would need to be to get him past WP:GNG.

  • I am happy to improve the article and its citations, but I guess I don't know exactly what you're looking for. Going off of the guidelines you're citing, I don't see how the current citations fall short. Each of them either treats the subject as the story's focal point or as a key actor. If I am understanding the guideline correctly, this material does indeed "[address] the topic directly and in detail." Elixiri (talk) 08:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or move to draft space User:Elixiri, you don't help your case by using password protected links, even though such links are permissible. One problem I am having is that I am not finding some of the material you cite when I run a Proquest news archive search. For example, you cite a 1982 article "A thoughtful politician" to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but I can't find an article by that title on proquest (this could be a glitch in the search, or reflecting th e use of more than one title by the paper.) So I tried simple facts. If he's notable, articles will come up with a man's birth place or his college used as keywords with his name, but my new archive search on "Matt Flynn" + Middlebush came up empty. Searching "Matt Flynn" + Yale + Wisconsin produced only routine, local campaign coverage (Flynn touts endorsements, Democratic connections,). What we need here is In Depth coverage of activities aside form campaigning for office. Or IN DEPTH coverage of his political roles and campaigns that show substantive impact (such as being credited with changing a law, policy, or, say, the Wisconsin Democratic Party in such a way that his role was the mover behind winning or losing elections.

Which I addressed in my nomination statement: "none of the few genuinely reliable sources are new stuff that wasn't already taken into account and judged inadequate last time". We don't keep an article about every single person who can be shown as having two or three pieces of media coverage — if that were all it took, we would have to keep an article about the woman a mile down the road from my parents who got media coverage for finding a pig in her yard. To get an article kept on just two or three pieces of RS coverage, they have to be verifying passage of an automatic must-include criterion like a politician actually holding a notable office, an actor winning an Academy Award, a writer winning the Pulitzer or the Booker, and on and so forth — but if a person doesn't pass any of our subject-specific inclusion criteria, and instead you're shooting for "notable because media coverage exists", then we need a lot more coverage than Mrs. Yasinowksi and her pig got before a subject passes "notable because media coverage exists". Bearcat (talk) 16:57, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps that is your definition, but that's not the Wikipedia standard of WP:GNG. Multiple, independent, in-depth sources. The burden is on you to prove it doesn't meet GNG.--TM 17:20, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The GNG standard is not passed the moment two or three or four pieces of coverage exist without regard to context — as I correctly pointed out earlier, if that were all it took then we would have to keep an article about my mother's neighbour and the pig. If you're shooting for "passes GNG just because media coverage exists, even though nothing stated in the article actually passes any SNGs", then it does take considerably more media coverage than this. Bearcat (talk) 00:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can you quote and point to a policy that indicates what you just wrote is correct? There are multiple, independent, reliable sources covering the topic. I am only aware of GNG as governing this, so if there is another policy, please quote it.--TM 00:29, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then my mother's neighbour and her pig clear GNG too, because I can show exactly as many pieces of reliable source coverage for her as are present here. I trust you'd agree that she's not encyclopedically notable, however — but if passing an arbitrary number of sources were all it took and there were no need to evaluate the context in which that coverage was given, then what grounds would there be to deem her less notable than Weyi? Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The standard hear is notability for politicians. That is a higher bar than GNG, because politicians inherently get some routine coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weyi is a politician in Central Africa and yet has coverage in a number of mainstream newspapers and websites on another continent (even in different states). Per WP:BASIC, "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below." Can you honestly say it doesn't pass WP:BASIC?--TM 01:24, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He has coverage in a number of mainstream newspapers and websites on another continent (even in different states) because he lived in the United States at the time that he decided to move back to the DRC to run for president, so there was a local human interest angle to the story. That's not the same thing as getting coverage because newspapers organically noticed or paid attention to a non-winning political candidate in a foreign country they wouldn't ordinarily cover. It wasn't coverage that attests to international fame; it was coverage that attests to "local resident does stuff". Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's value-judging the sources. We really, really should avoid that. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:23, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If we avoid that, then in comes the article about my mother's neighbour and her pig — because if we're only allowed to count the number of sources, but not to evaluate their context, then pig lady gets in as has the same number of potential sources that this article is showing. Bearcat (talk) 21:04, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the neighbor's pig passes GNG and fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER.  For the topic at hand, stories covering a political loss contribute to GNG, and should not be discounted by the personal likes and dislikes of editors.  Unscintillating (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, stories covering a political loss do not contribute to GNG. Being a non-winning candidate for office is not a Wikipedia notability criterion in and of itself, but every non-winning candidate for anything could always show some sources for the fact of their candidacy — which would mean that everybody who was ever a candidate for any political office would always clear GNG. For a non-winning candidate to actually clear GNG, rather, it's necessary to show a depth and breadth of sourcing that marks their candidacy out as exponentially more notable in its own right than most other people's candidacies, which is not demonstrated by just showing the same number of sources that any other candidate could have shown.

  • Comment  It appears that coverage by the Los Angeles Times of a citizen (or former citizen?) of Colorado is being deemed "local" interest.  However, GNG does not exclude local sources, as what Wikipedia wants is reliable sources.  Unscintillating (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does accord local sources less weight than national ones in many contexts. If the context of what such sources are covering the person for is not something that would pass a notability criterion right on its face, then the existence of three or four pieces of local sourceability is not in and of itself a GNG pass just because an arbitrary number of sources has been shown. If it were, we would have to keep articles about every person who ever ran for political office anywhere at all, everybody who was ever police chief or fire chief of anywhere, teenagers who got human interest pieces written about them in the local paper because they tried out for the high school football team despite having only nine toes, everybody who was ever president of an elementary school parent-teacher association or a church bake sale committee, and, yes, my mother's neighbour with the pig. We do not just count the footnotes and keep everything that gets to or surpasses three of them: we do evaluate the context in which the coverage is being given, and accord it significantly less weight if there's nothing inherently encyclopedic about that context. Bearcat (talk) 18:39, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, GNG does not weight "encyclopedic" coverage.  If this were true, you'd be able to cite from the guideline.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So, trying to find the substance of the above reply: GNG is not sufficient for WP:Events (WP:NOTNEWSPAPER), WP:ORG (WP:AUD), and new organizations and future events (WP:SUSTAINED).  For the context here; GNG is applicable, local sources are ok, and weight is accorded to significant coverage.  The LA Times article contributes to GNG notability.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, we have to keep an article about every single person or thing that can be shown as the subject of two or three articles in any newspaper anywhere for any reason whatsoever — including every person who ever ran for any political office anywhere at all, everybody who was ever police chief or fire chief of anywhere, teenagers who got human interest pieces written about them in the local paper because they tried out for the high school football team despite having only nine toes, everybody who was ever president of an elementary school parent-teacher association or a church bake sale committee, and my mother's neighbour with the pig. I don't think you'll find many people around here who would agree with such extreme inclusionism, because it would make us less valuable as an encyclopedia if we had no content standards and just kept everything about everybody who could merely be verified to exist. Bearcat (talk) 00:26, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Inclusionism and deletionism are not relevant to this discussion.  What we are talking about now is that GNG is a low bar as Wikipedia is paperless, but since Wikipedia is not indiscriminate, we have several groups of topics in which passing GNG is not also a WP:N pass.  But people is not one of them.  Your ideas to apply new GNG filters is not currently part of the GNG guideline.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing whatsoever about this represents "my" idea to apply "new" GNG filters. AFD has an established consensus that because any candidate for any office could always show three or four sources for the fact, but candidates are not automatically notable just for the fact of being candidates per se, candidates are not deemed to pass GNG just because you can show the same perfectly normal and unexceptional number of normal and unexceptional sources that absolutely any candidate for anything could always show. This is not shit I made up myself — this is a long-established standard that AFD has rightly applied for years because we do not want to become a repository of promotional campaign brochures for people whose only notability claim is that they ran for office and lost. Bearcat (talk) 03:03, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You say, "Nothing whatsoever about this represents "my" idea to apply "new" GNG filters.", but you had no response when I said, "No, GNG does not weight "encyclopedic" coverage.  If this were true, you'd be able to cite from the guideline.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)  As for your claims of what has happened for years at AfD, perhaps you should use your skills as an editor to document those claims in an essay.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The onus would be on you to demonstrate how the depth of coverage being shown here was encyclopedic in the first place — as I've pointed out many times above, there are lots of people in the world who have been the subject of three or four pieces of media coverage but still weren't anything we would accept as notable, because the context of what they were getting coverage for wasn't something that would be expected to get a person into an encyclopedia. We do not simply keep every single article that happens to surpass a raw number of footnotes: we most certainly do look at the context in which those footnotes exist, and deprecate certain types of coverage as not adequate support for notability. We most certainly do require non-winning candidates for office to either already have had preexisting notability for other reasons independent of their candidacy, or be able to show that they got significantly more coverage than most other candidates for office could always show — we do not, and never have, kept non-winning candidates for political office just because they can show three or four sources, because every non-winning candidate for office could always show three or four sources.

fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG Joeykai (talk) 18:52, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • This subject actually comes close to and possibly passes GNG. He does fail NHOCKEY, but not by much. He has 169 regular season games (175 including playoffs) so not that far off from the 200 standard. He was at worst in the top 4 in penalty minutes, not scoring as per our standard but still a statistic that gets measured and gets attention. As for coverage, he has a very good article here and a lesser article (but still with him as the subject here, although both are from syracuse.com so count as one source. On newspapers.com there a couple of articles behind a paywall from Tallahassee Democrat on which he is in the headline as a subject, one from March 3, 1998 about an incident in which he got suspended, and one which appears to be a more significant article from January 8, 1998 about his joining the Tiger Sharks to become their enforcer. He also gets a few sentences in this article and a little coverage that isn't worth much in this article. So overall he probably has at least 2 sources of significant coverage (although if someone can access the Tallahassee Democrat the coverage there may be less than I think) and some less significant coverage (i'd give about 1/4-1/3 credit) from Portland Tribune and maybe a tiny bit of credit from the Baltimore Sun. That begins to suggest possibly meeting GNG, especially when his career ended about 20 years ago so there could well be coverage not easily accessible.

  • Delete We have a standard for a reason and its only a presumption for a reason. Since under 200 games, just rely on GNG. All we have here is a news release, so zero sources. From the content maybe he could pass considering his number was semi-retired. But until those sources are actually found, we don't presume since under the threshold and therefore delete. RonSigPi (talk) 22:59, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: per RonSigPi. Even the standard's only a presumption, and if Badduke had played 300 games in the AHL the article would have to meet the GNG all the same. Since the notability of the article's been challenged, it's up to anyone seeking to save it to produce qualifying sources. Ravenswing 07:04, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Paltik definitely meets GNG. There is quite an industry for producing these, a large market, and quite a bit of sources (which are absent in the low quality article). The question here really is about merging to improvised firearm while leaving a redirect to the section there. Paltik, Galkatas, and Improvised firearm (which seems to be focused on the really improvised side as opposed to more organized low-scale production by blacksmiths and metal shops) all need improvement. I'm undecided beyond this not being a delete (so keep or merge).Icewhiz (talk) 13:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The Paltik industry definitely passes GNG, and Paltiks have common characteristics between themselves that differentiate them from other metal shop weapon production in other parts of the world. Improvised Firearm is a poor merge target - focusing on much lower grade firearms.Icewhiz (talk) 06:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: Icewhiz, I think your logic is clearly suggesting the merge is the proper way to go. Consider zip gun. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:47, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    These are a "step up" from a zip gun - which is really improvised and homemade. Here we have manufacturing by metal workshops - so small batches of similar weapons (as well as some commonality in the region) - it's basically the way pre-industrial swords or early firearms (e.g. Tanegashima (Japanese matchlock)) were made. Icewhiz (talk) 20:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But it does not appear to be a "step up" from the hundreds of other examples of improvised firearms which have plagued the world for too long. Is there anything fundamentally different between this industry and, say, the blacksmiths that made similar weapons in Armenia during the Turkish suppression, or the Mau Mau weapons? The improvised firearm covers the spectrum of weapons from poor quality to "high-quality arms produced by cottage industries", which seems to be precisely where this falls. What am I missing? Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maury Markowitz: The term itself does meet GNG. The source of my vacillation is the article focus of Improvised firearm, which also states in the lead - An improvised firearm is a firearm manufactured other than by a firearms manufacturer or a gunsmith (emphasis added) and focuses on homemade guns. The Paltiks are an example, to my understanding, of manufacture by a gunsmith (or people who could be seen as gunsmiths) in low-rate serial production (note - the actual Paltik article doesn't really reflect this - and quality of the Paltik article is poor) - see here - Philippine gun makers take aim from the backyard to the production line (Reuters 2012)(referring to gunsmiths who make Paltiks) or 1997 AP video - showing a Palik production shop. Improvised firearm would require quite a bit of work and rewrite to accommodate these properly.Icewhiz (talk) 14:04, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Well, the city region certainly exists and is commonly used on maps, in travel sites, hotel booking sites, and so forth. The only question, therefore, is whether it justifies a separate article or should be redirected to its parent city, Gwalior. The article is currently poorly cited, but the Lashkar district is mentioned in reliable sources like the Financial Times, stating "in 1809, Daulat Rao Scindia took the town and pitched his tents to the south of the fort in an area called Lashkar, which became Gwalior’s new town, with palaces, wide streets, gardens and the royal “chhatris” of these new rulers, now deserted and decayed. The two towns are now effectively one, although it was Lashkar that was the capital of Gwalior state, one of the “princely states” formulated by the British during the Raj". The fact that Lashkar was the state capital says to me that it is certainly notable, and must be discussed in many sources. Britannica says it's a "city" with "many palaces". I'd be inclined to keep this, as substantial places are notable, and the district has an interesting history. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:59, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • support (as proposer) redirect to Gwalior#Lashkar Subcity. Eventually enough may be said about it to require WP:SPINOFF to a subarticle, but it is a very central part of modern Gwalior and their history is intertwined (eg the Lashkar Municipal Corporation), so I think keeping it together now will yield the best results.

  • Keep: Jclemens has dug up two sources that ought to be added to the article. The nominator just above here has basically conceded that the article merely needs to be improved in quality. I hope that the subsequent "improvement" doesn't involve gutting the long lists. Yeah, it's a mess and needs sourcing, but it looks to be a labor of love, covering some foundational works in early computer animation. Note that some of the individual items on this list have their own wikipages. (eg, The Adventures of André and Wally B. and More Bells and Whistles) This list-y page is thus providing more context and background data for those pages.

    The list could/should be condensed at least into a table with a slightly lower font size, so that it not majorly putwigths text content. Better visualziation would also be possible. Lordtobi () 08:09, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - References fail the criteria for establishing notability and are not "intellectually independent". Most references I can find are either company announcements or based on company announcements or rely exclusively on quotations and interviews with related personnel.

The result was delete. Given the BLP issues involved, I'm going ahead and WP:SNOW-ing this. As JPL notes, this might be a notable topic, but as a properly-referenced article, not a BLP-violation-bait list. The Bushranger One ping only 05:21, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting a bit out of hand. Wikipedia is not news and not a directory. Not only are the names included due to synth and original research but also...why this content fork? As in, why are allegations after the Weinstein case listed when this has gone on for the past year? Are the politicians a part of this broadening scope? Editors are falling too deeply for recentism without considering if this is appropriate for an encyclopedia. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:19, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - for all the reasons stated by the nominator. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:27, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. I moved the article to the current title, but that was by no means an endorsement. I don't think that a list of this description is appropriate for Wikipedia. It is a bit of synth... also where would the list end? would nit just be any allegations from now onward? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:52, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although I'm an advocate of Wikipedia having a role to play in current events, I think this is a pretty good example of a situation the full significance of which is not going to become apparent until after the fact. It's clear that the "Me too" campaign has empowered some women to go public with accusations that they had withheld before, but completely unclear at this time what that trend means. An article on this period of time will probably be in the encyclopedia someday, but only after the sociology and psychology of the events is evaluated in retrospect. Thus, a simple list is not really encyclopedic at this time. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC)\[reply]

  • Delete – Goes against the grain of BLP policy to use Weinstein as a starting point in the title and content. North America1000 01:28, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is not a tabloid newspaper. We have a BLP policy for a reason. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:16, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lost of problems in this. BLP problems in putting people on a list for some indefinite "accused" and I have issues with "sexual misconduct". Offering job promotions if someone gives you sexual favors is a differt sort of behavior than forcing them to have sex with you. Weinstein has been accused of both. Another factor is the Weinstein accusations have been building for years. Also, Weinstein was not the first celebrity to fall due to such accusations. Accusations of sexual harrasment have been going around for years, treated in different ways in different situations due to a whole slew of factors. Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby come to mind as people accused long before Weinstein, but there are others. Weinstein and his company had actually apparently settled some of the cases related to some of these accusations in the past, so dating the accusation of Weinstein is an issue. One might argue we could rename to "List of celebrities accused of sexual misconduct after Harvey Weinstein was accused in an article in the New York Times". However I am not sure an amorphouse term like "sexual misconduct" is what is needed here. There might be a potential Fall 2017 accusations of sexual harrasment and assault against media executives and actors or something along those lines, but it should be more than just a list, it should be a substantive article, flowing out of reliable source writing on the subject, and I do not think the reliable source writing has coalesced enough to make an article under that title. On the other hand, we may even have articles some what related to this topic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:14, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The New York Times does have this article [38] but while I can see including any information not yet present in the related articles, I am not convinced it justifies a list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:16, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
