Article about a "virtual" (long-distance learning) university in Colombia, created in 2010 by a WP:SPA who hasn't edited since, and it's never been updated. It's certainly not a hoax, as evidenced by this article from the same year [1], but there doesn't seem to be anything on the internet regarding the university after this date, which suggests that Mr Altahona was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts to persuade the Colombian authorities to grant his virtual university a licence, and that the university no longer exists. Mr Altahona now appears to be the head of a similar virtual education facility to teach students to high school diploma level [2]. Please note that the original web address for Southamerican University was www.southamericanuniversity.org – I have been unable to discover if this university was in any way affiliated with the similar long-distance learning facility South America University based in the US, which originally had the almost identical web address www.southamericanuniversity.com and is now located at www.sau-edu-us.

The result was no consensus. As framed here, the notability of the topic seems to boil down to whether Graeme Bartlett's sources are sufficient germane to establish notability for the building. Two people say yes (Graeme and Doncram), two people say no (TheLongTone and Sionk) and I don't see a killer argument in favour of one side. Other arguments do not seem to be accompanied by much evidence. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:14, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep That debate was more than ten years ago though. Now there are several references available:[3][4](a mention)[5][6][7][8][9][10] so I think an independent article could be written from suitable sources. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:45, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep" Weir House is a significant residential college at Victoria University of Wellington. Originally founded along the lines of an Oxford college, it is a significant landmark in Wellington and several books have been written on its history. To delete Weir House, without deleting articles such as Knox College, Otago or Selwyn College, Otago would be to apply two different policies on notability, and to leave Wikipedia without a significant institution within New Zealand's university history.

I'm not surprised that it was possible to come up with a bunch of references; however all of them seem to be fundamentally about the university. As for the second person believing this should be kept, the argument is pure WP:OTHERSTUFF.TheLongTone (talk) 14:12, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, much as TheLongTone has said, the two sources in the article are not independent of the University, while the sources discovered by Graeme seem to be mentions in articles about something else. Even though it's bricks and mortar and, probably for NZ, been around for a fair time there's no evidence of a heritage listing or architectural importance. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 17:33, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are substantial historical facts about this residence already included in the article, and its photos show it is substantial architecturally. See Category:University and college residential buildings for many articles about substantial dormitories and other collegiate residences that have less substance. (And please spare me any complaint about "OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" not being valid. We need a counter-essay to that essay, because as Wikipedia has matured in many areas, "other stuff like this exists" is indeed an increasingly valid argument.) It is not surprising and it is perfectly fine by me if there exist major sources about the university which provide coverage about this, and for those sources to be associated with the university, of course they are. A book by an alumnus would be fine in my view. And it is not as if this is a promotional article supporting some commercial venture. --doncram 21:39, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to have turned every basis of Wikipedia on it's head. Are you saying Wikipedia should have articles about every building because they are 'substantial'? And if you know of an independently published book by an alumnus maybe you could share it. Sionk (talk) 23:14, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The history book is called: Weir Tales: 75 Years of History. Here is a press release by the university about it http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK0808/S00285/weir-house-celebrates-75th-anniversary.htm Darren (talk) 12:43, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons why the organization is notable The notice at the top of the article asks for help in establishing the organization’s notability, which seems to be the main concern. Here is some information about IREX’s current and historical significance, with links to sources.

IREX was established in 1968 by the American Council of Learned Societies, the Social Science Research Council, the Ford Foundation, and the US Department of State. IREX conducted scholarly exchanges between the US and the Soviet Union to bridge geopolitical divides, until the fall of the Iron Curtain.

For more information about IREX’s role during this period, see:

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, IREX received an influx of funding to support democratic reforms and strengthen organizations. IREX administered programs to conduct educational exchanges, strengthen civil society in developing countries, increase internet access, and provide training and support to journalists and media organizations, among other activities. See:

Today, IREX conducts civil society, education, gender, governance, leadership, media, technology, and youth programs in more than 100 countries: https://www.devex.com/organizations/international-research-exchanges-board-irex-3236

For example, IREX implements the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a highly selective fellowship that builds the skills of 1,000 promising young leaders each year.

IREX implements the World Smarts STEM Challenge, which was profiled in NPR and the Washington Times:

IREX’s education and leadership work has​ ​​recently​ ​been featured in the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times,​ ​and Education Week, among other outlets:

Recently, the Center for European Policy Analysis and Legatum Institute published reports that describe IREX’s approach to helping citizens fight fake news. IREX's approach has also been discussed in the Washington Post:

IREX’s work in building, overseeing, and supporting the BOTA Foundation received praise from the Financial Times. The foundation distributed $115 million in grants, cash transfers, and scholarships in Kazakhstan: https://www.ft.com/content/10d8679c-228b-11e6-9d4d-c11776a5124d

If you still feel that the organization is not notable, could you please specify why?

There are some suggestions for improving the article on the Talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:International_Research_%26_Exchanges_Board

  • Delete A couple articles from this set came for up AfD some months ago and were deleted, IIRC; at the time it seemed odd that that was being done piecemeal, leaving several hundred similar stubs alone (much mis-applied reverse OTHERSTUFFEXISTS eventuated, I believe :/). These articles are merely page-size versions of the entries in List of tz database time zones, and it is difficult to imagine what additional information could be inserted here to make full article status worthwhile. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:57, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Almost all firearms are indeed notable, but not their variants. The Trigun is the only notable weapon out the pack.

Gun blogs, forums, and posts by either weapon historians or owners quickly become the new bar for RS in these types of articles. The Trigun is notable enough that sooner or later someone else can do a better job of writing an article about, probably not me :) L3X1 (distænt write) 01:07, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article needs a lot of work. For example, see "Furthermore, in his next study, he showed an association between maternal early pregnancy triglyceridaemia and the subsequent risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preterm deliveries." That is a published study. It is not a source reporting about the study. Also see "An article published by him recently, showed that lipid profile in pregnant women rises during the second and third trimesters.[10]" That is referring to this article. That is not a WP:SECONDARY source reporting about the article. That and other content can be deleted. After the vanity content is deleted not much will be left. An article for Journal of Medical Research and Innovation might be notable. This article does not seem notable. QuackGuru (talk) 02:26, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys, let me give some more details about the page 1) All the important articles have some citations which means, I can include those as secondaries. Secondary, why I feel that it is notable: I have spoken to the Dr. Jagdish Khubchani, who is also the director of World Association of Medical Editor, and in his opinion, I am the youngest person to hold a position of an Editor in Chief and Publisher of a Medical or Public health Journal. Furthermore, I have also applied for the same in Guinness World Records and Limca Book of Records. I am expecting the decision soon as well. Secondary I have represented India (Actually South Asia to be honest, but they have mentioned India in the pic) in a fully sponsored trip by Elsevier to give a speech at Bangkok. Also I was awarded with Indian's Best Young Researcher Award by Grabs Charitable Trust. I have also published many articles which are from good source, At an age of 25 years, I feel that it is quite notable especially from India. Also, since I have made the article, which is a problem as well, I declared the COI from the beginning. Furthermore, I has also requested every one to edit it by placing the editing request. Also, i requested JJMC89 to review it before publishing, which he saw it later. If you guys still feel that it is not notable, I have already mentioned that please go ahead and delete it without even wasting a second. Thank you every one for your time and have a great week ahead. I accept the decision may what ever it is! Thank you everyone and stay blessed :) MedTime (talk) 15:00, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Jagdish Khubchani is not a source and what Khubchani said needs to be sourced. Many articles are reviewed by people who make mistakes before they were added to articlespace.
You added sources that you authored or co-authored such as this article. That is the original article. You would need to find a source reporting about it to show WP:WEIGHT that it should be added. You would not add the original article. You would add the source reporting about it. See Edzard Ernst for an article with many independent sources. To show an article is notable there must be many independent sources. QuackGuru (talk) 15:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. OK, it seems like the topic is notable, as the claim and evidence to that effect provided by Hzh has not been contested. As noted by others FANCRUFT is an essay and is more importantly not garnering consensus support among participants. That leaves the question of a merger with the main article open as well as concerns about the quality of the current article writeup (I see the tables and the presence of original research have been mentioned); I defer these to the article talkpage for further discussion as neither needs an AfD.

  • Keep. Yes, the Emmy award does suggests that it has individual notability, and the title sequence has received widespread non-trivial media coverage, also parodied and adapted ([27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38] in addition to some already given above and many more). These two facts should qualified the article under notability criteria - there is no specific notability guideline for title sequence, although winning a major award and having non-trivial coverage in reliable sources are the usual notability criteria for articles on various media such as music, TV, film and other related subjects, see e.g. WP:NMEDIA, WP:NMUSIC, etc. The article however needs more sources, and it could be trimmed, but these are different issues not relevant here because the notability criteria have been satisfied. Whether other title sequences that won award also have their own articles or not is also irrelevant (there is for example one for The Simpsons), the notability of each article is judged on its own. It should be noted that WP:FANCRUFT is an essay and not Wikipedia policy or guideline, and reason for deletion should be discussed in reference to WP:DEL-REASON or WP:NOT. Hzh (talk) 10:57, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Hzh: But once you remove all the tables, descriptions etc., it will have so little infomation it could easily be put on Game of Thrones. And Emmys do not equal notabilty; to my knowledge this is the only article on a title sequence. TedE

dwards 17:16, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You certainly don't want to merge it into the Game of Thrones main article, the article is already around the size of article where splitting should be considered, see WP:SIZE. The size of this article in any case is not a valid reason for deletion. I'll give the link for The Simpsons again - The Simpsons opening sequence, see also Opening and closing sequences of The Prisoner and The Mary Tyler Moore Show opening sequence. There are also title sequence articles for films - e.g. James Bond, Star Wars. You determine the notability of individual article according the criteria as recommended by the guidelines (as already mentioned, the Game of Thrones title sequence qualifies with the award won, and good coverage), and not whether it is a title sequence or not. Hzh (talk) 19:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Could do with losing the tables I guess but Game of Thrones is already long and I believe there is enough out there to support a separate article.--Pontificalibus (talk) 18:32, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - well sourced, sigcov ensures it should be kept. Editors such as myself may not like the obsessive detail of some of the tables, but any of us who have any such concerns can trim down the article and/or use any other available discussion mechanisms. That the nom does not like "especially tables" is no argument for an AfD process. XavierItzm (talk) 19:43, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@XavierItzm: All I was saying was the tables are the bit I dislike the most, but the not the only thing I dislike. I dislike the "rules" for the sequence and the over detailed description of the sequence. Once you get rid of those, you're left with a stub, that could easily be included on Game of Thrones. TedEdwards 16:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article is standard for WP:SPINOFF articles. The title sequence article is typical of articles that are subtopic of any main article, where you'd put a summary of the content in the main article so as not to create excessive bulk of a subtopic in the main article that would skew the importance of the subtopic to the main article. Hzh (talk) 09:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Hzh:Maybe it is me, but I'm not following your argument. This is a spinoff article, and seems appropriate for one - its length would be too long to include in the main article, and there is a decent summary in the main article. Could you perhaps re-word what you are trying to say? Benthatsme (talk) 19:35, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The nominator suggests it is not notable, and that it qualifies as WP:FANCRUFT. While I agree that winning an Emmy does not alone make this topic notable, the many many secondary sources in the article and referenced above certainly ensures the topic clears the notability bar. Whether or not it is fancruft is immaterial. The fancruft essay (not a policy document) explains many common problems with articles that are written by 'fans' of a topic. Even if I were to grant the fact that in this article there are too many tables and too much detail (which I am not convinced of), then that is problem best addressed by edits and on the talk page, not by deletion.

  • Comment - @Benthatsme: The main problem with the tables is that they serve no encylopediac purpose at all; they are completely unnecessary. The only table I would want kept, should this discussion not end in my favour, would be the table of awards. TedEdwards 21:10, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You hit the nail on the head. The issue is of form, not of nature. The page should probably edited and trimmed down. But not obliterated! The idea is to try and improve the Wikipedia, not to nuke it from orbit. XavierItzm (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not interested in completely obliterating this work on this article. I feel that the necessary detail could be added to the Game of Thrones article, without the section being too long. TedEdwards 22:24, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to merge this page into another article, then why start the deletion process? Separately, tables are not a problem, per se. They are often a much more natural way to present information than in text form. You seem to object to the tables, not the information within, which is confusing me. In any case, as I said before, that topic really belongs on the talk page for the article.Benthatsme (talk) 05:34, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If I merge the articles, it's effectively a page delete, hence the discussion here. Also, I definitely object to the "info" in the table, it is completely pointless and unencyclopediac. It would be better just to say that the title sequence includes the cast and crew (perhaps obviously) and shows on a map some locations in the fictional world, changing depending on the episode.

  • Delete The subject fails WP:GNG without any doubt. The only information found has been in the form of user-uploaded Youtube videos and a few blog posts. Those don't even come close to passing WP:IRS, nor are they sufficient to support notability on their own, nor have they even been sustained enough to support notability if (in theory) blogs and user videos were suddenly accepted as valid sources. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:42, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • First and foremost, you need to keep the Wikipedia:Civility in mind because both of your comments above were decidedly uncivil. Even if you find the views of others strange or poorly thought-out, the policy still stands.
Secondly, the links you've provided still don't establish notability because only a few of them are actually about the subject. Those which are about the subject are tied to two separate protests against the religious affairs ministry, and those protests (as also established in the sources you provided) also included other groups - thus there is no specific coverage focusing on the subject itself, Tehreek Labaik Pakistan. Additionally, the majority of the links you just posted only mention the subject in passing, in most cases only a single time.
It's good that you're viewing even the comments of other editors with a skeptical eye on an AfD, but there are two problems here. The first is that you misunderstood the view of myself (I can't speak for GorgeCustersSabre): the issue isn't that I didn't search on Google, but that I did search and didn't find any information about the group itself. There were protests which occurred and weren't about Tehreek Labaik Pakistan itself, but rather were a part of wider anti-religious affairs ministry protests including multiple religious groups, not just this one. Now, that still doesn't mean my view is right, but it does mean that you have a significant misunderstanding of another editor's (my) view. You could have avoided that simply by asking me why I wrote what I did instead of jumping to conclusions.
The second problem is that neither of your comments have been polite, and that's definitely a cause for concern. The first impression I got is that you're either a fan of the article's subject pushing hard for its inclusion, thus indicating that your objectivity is compromised; or that your general manner of dealing with disagreement is to question the competence of anyone who disagrees with you, thus indicating that your temperament precludes a serious discussion.
That impression might be wrong, but it's reasonable as a first impression. You should give some serious consideration to future responses, and perform your own due diligence in the way of not jumping to conclusions about what other editors are doing. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:40, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • My point was not to be uncivil, but I did question the rationale of both the original AfD nomination as well as your 'delete' vote. As a reminder, the nominator stated No coverage found, a statement that could only be true in case WP:BEFORE had not been conducted. The same editor had issued a number of other Pakistan-related AfDs in the recent past which similar arguments. You wrote "The only information found has been in the form of user-uploaded Youtube videos and a few blog posts", a statement that is clearly incorrect as the organization is covered in various large media in Pakistan such as Dawn, Jang, Mashriq, Tribune, Nation, etc.. I'm sorry if the way I worded your comment hurt your feelings, but at the same time you'd need to recognize that your initial comment turned out to be factually incorrect. As per whether coverage is sufficient to consider an organization as notable, there is no clearcut line (as is often manifested in AfD debates), but it must be noted that some of the links to large media outlets presented above do deal with the organization as the main focus of the respective articles (such as [63] and [64]) --Soman (talk) 15:24, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Appears non-notable per WP:GNG (currently unsourced because it is new, however, even a search of news sources turns up three mentions mostly about the Cape Fear Heroes playing a game against the Steam – "played the Savannah Steam of the EIF..."). There is not even any WP:ROUTINE coverage (something that is not enough to GNG and typically only proves existence) of this and despite having already played one season, no scores or records were ever recorded or reported in the news. Not to mention, the games I did find reported on their self-published social media platforms, for an "indoor" football league all but two games were played outdoors and the other two (maybe up to four, hard to tell which were actually played) were in the unnamed converted warehouse. As of right now, this is still WP:TOOSOON for notability here. Yosemiter (talk) 18:32, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New article; it's literally just a list of trivia forked from a trivia section in Street Fighter. No indication is made as to why this video game series has had such a major impact on popular culture that every mention of it in other forms of media should be listed. Originally redirected it back to the parent article, but author reverted so moving to here. --PresN 16:03, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Its one giant violation of WP:TRIVIA/WP:GAMECRUFT. Notable examples could be mentioned in "Impact/Legacy" type sections of the series, or respective game, articles. But this by itself isn't appropriate for Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 16:37, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Per WP:POPCULTURE, the references are trivia, as many of the sources are dubious and the reference-r did not acknowledge the references. The proper response would've been to cull the trivia from the list, not split it off.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:43, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections#"In popular culture" and "Cultural references" material, this type of trivia appears to be considered acceptable. All of the trivia is also referenced by reliable third party sources. Because Street Fighter is most likely to be referenced in numerous media in the future, it's understandable for a page of this nature to be continually expanding which is why I moved the minor section on the main Street Fighter article to it's own page. Perhaps a more suitable action would be to Rename to "List of popular culture references to Street Fighter". Also other articles which exist that are in the same style as this one are List of cultural references to A Clockwork Orange and Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture, the latter having been nominated for deletion multiple times for the same reason as this one with the result always being "keep". Plus, this deletion nomination appears to be WP:ITSCRUFT.

By title alone you can think that the article is WP:POV, it is a POV article with original research. There are some speculations and some possibilities but sources are not reliable enough to trust these claims per WP:NOTNEWS.

I see no reason why this brother has to have to has his own article. For context, he is half of the Christian music group For King & Country, the other half of the group is his brother, Luke Smallbone. Luke doesn't have an article; his name redirects to the band. That's my problem: why is one brother independently notable but the other isn't? I don't see anything in this article that would suggest that he is independently notable outside of the band.

Now just to be clear, For King & Country is absolutely notable through both GNG and NBAND criterion C8 "Has won or been nominated for a major music award" (and probably other criteria, too). I will also disclose that I am familiar with them and enjoy their music. But I just don't think that Joel or Luke is notable outside the real accomplishments made by their band.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  15:41, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - What is this a fork of? I see the article was renamed in 2015 from "Mongol invasion of Bulgaria", and I could see the page being renamed again, but I don't see how it is a fork. That said, I agree the article might not be suitable for inclusion in wikipedia (see below). Smmurphy(Talk) 18:47, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Assumption on my part, It was created very soon after I threatened (on the list of wars involving Bulgaria article) to remove any wars not actually linked to an article about that war. Then those wars were linked to this article, and nothing more was done. Thus this seems to exist solely to justify content in another article.Slatersteven (talk) 08:46, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - Looking this up, it seems that in the spring of 1242, Mongol forces moved from the Hungarian plain eastwards, possibly in retreat, after the invasion of Hungary (see Battle of Mohi). They were in pursuit of Bela IV who had fled to Ragusa/Dalmatia. during their pursuit, they raided Bulgaria and Kaliman I was induced to pay tribute and accept suzerainty. (Madgearu, Alexandru. The Asanids: The Political and Military History of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1280). Brill, 2016. p228; Vásáry, István. Cumans and Tatars: Oriental Military in the Pre-Ottoman Balkans, 1185–1365. Cambridge University Press, 2005. p70) Kiliman was Bela IV's nephew, for what it is worth. I think the basic information could go into the aftermath section of the Battle of Mohi page. The events are already mentioned at Kaliman I of Bulgaria. Madgearu's account suggests some pitched battles or full sieges based partly on archaeological evidence, but notes there is some confusion whether some of these events occurred during the 1242 raids or at another time. Vásáry emphasizes the smallness of the destruction during the raids and does not mention any battles or sieges. I would support an article about the Mongol raids of 1242 into the region, but it is probably better covered at the Battle of Mohi and Kaliman pages, as it sort of already is. The title, "Invasion of Bulgaria and Serbia" does seem to suggest that this event was something different than it was. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:47, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, without prejudice to merging. I think ideally we'd have an article on the whole Hungary–Dalmatia–Bulgaria campaign, but as of now we have only this stub and an article on the one decisive battle (Mohi). The claim that Bulgaria fought a war with the Mongols seems entirely justified, from what I'm reading (Jackson, Mongols and the West). I will try to expand the article with sources in the coming days. For now, I have added citations where requested. Srnec (talk) 00:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is being used as a wiki link for a number of "wars" between 1223 & 1341, that is what is is a POV fork off, the idea there were a number of Bulgarian Mongol wars.Slatersteven (talk) 17:43, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There were a number of wars between Bulgars and Mongols. Besides the campaign of 1242, Jackson mentions major campaigns in 1284/5 and again c. 1295, as well as a state of constant raiding in the 1270s and a sort of Bulgarian civil war involving the Mongols in 1300–01. The list of wars may be crap (haven't checked), but the article you've put up for deletion was entirely factually correct—and that's sourcing entirely from English academic publications. Srnec (talk) 01:42, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well when I looked for sources I could not find any. Moreover I asked for sources, and none were provided. In fact it took this AFD for any work to be done.

  • Delete - Similar to several other biographies that have already been deleted. Being a member of the Universal House of Justice does not provide notability. In this case, the only biographical information comes from a single paragraph in a Baha'i announcement, and a single paragraph in an archived World Bank faith dialogue. The members of the Universal House of Justice do not act as clergy and have no special authority outside of group decisions.

  • Comment I think whoever created the article probably entered the name incorrectly. The term "chowk" means a crossroad or intersection. However, there does seem to be a place called Amilahawa in Sirsa, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. In fact, this website [69] seems to have a village name called "Amilahawa". --DreamLinker (talk) 15:41, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, I just found more references to a place called "Amilahawa Chauraha" which means Amilahawa intersection. (The words Chauraha and Chowk are used interchangeably in Hindi). Let me look for more.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is weird, but it seems the rural water website [70] doesn't seem the list the supposed village name. There are similarly named villages, but they are in other states. I am coming up at dead ends.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear what the article is about, since the United Kingdom does not have government guaranteed "trading estates". It is perhaps something to do with a public sector company that builds industrial estates (a construction company). In the meantime it appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH.

This whole article reads like an advertisement for Breton's career. Most of the article is written by two accounts that have nothing but Joel Breton edits (BilboBaggins77 and Spacecaser). Previous edits by BilboBaggins77 claimed that he was a cosmonaut, an international super producer and that he produced various notable games such as Duke Nukem, Quake, Unreal and Doom but these claims don't hold upon closer inspection.

  • Procedural Keep - The list of game credits is impressive; a couple of the links, ostensibly to Wayback Machine, are most unimpressive. The nominator is concerned with (a) the tone of the piece, which is an editing matter and not a notability matter; and (b) the fact that single purpose editors have been involved, which is likewise not a valid reason for deletion. I therefore favor keeping on procedural grounds, since no valid rationale for deletion has been presented. Carrite (talk) 04:06, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the games on his Gameography are of low notability. It consists mostly of console ports, flash games, spinoff games and level packs, none of which have garnered much attention. Most notable game on his list is Unreal, but even then he worked as an associate producer for GT Interactive, the publisher of the game. I'd still say there's a notability issue.

(Also by implication the associated album articles: Into the Glorious Battle, Chapter I (Cryonic Temple album), Blood, Guts & Glory, In Thy Power, Immortal (Cryonic Temple album))

They're apparently signed to a record label with... an article... but it's a reference-less list of acts, so it's doubtful that the label is itself notable. All of the album articles are themselves basically reference-less lists.

News searches for the bast returns a handful of results, most of which are either patently non-reliable or extremely niche metal sites. None of the members seems to be independently notable that I can tell. They... at least claim to have put out enough stuff that it arguably avoids A7, but just sticking around for a long time and putting out records doesn't notability make.

None of the non-English versions are any better, and that there is no Swedish article for a Swedish band, when there are articles in English, Spanish, Polish and Scots doesn't bode well. TimothyJosephWood 16:45, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey FreewheelerCT. If you can provide reference to the types of magazine reviews and things that you mention, that would be helpful in trying to gauge the notability of the subject. Unfortunately, lots and lots of views on social media and streaming services is often a sign that an artist may have sources available about them and their work, they don't really count for much as far as being sources in-and-of-themselves.

  • Speedy Delete. Poorly written. Un-sourced. I'll note that BEFOREing this was difficult due to the common name of the subject - so possibly I've missed something, however the article itself doesn't assert notability in any significant fashion. A complete fail of SOLDIER (low rank, only campaign medals, nothing significant he did).

  • Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG imho. After examining some of the Arab sources (at least two of which are virtually identical, which casts some doubt upon their independence), it seems this is a young man of 23 in charge of the e-marketing of some celebrities such as Mohammed Henedi, Jamal al-Arab Ruan bin Hussein, Rana Samaha, Mina Atta, Shadi Ghitani, or Shirin Yahya, who seem quite happy with the work he is doing promoting their images. Is that enough to ensure the personal notability of Osama Tolba? I have my doubts...
    Some of the other Arab sources are downright irrelevant (one of them being a Twitter account), and another one had my anti-virus screaming!
    Beyond that, Osama Tolba is some kind of free lance journalist, and, since October 2016, the editor in chief of website istarmag.com. To sum it all up, I am afraid he moved from e-marketing others to e-marketing himself. --Azurfrog (talk) 11:34, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being on the organizational board of a political party is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of enough reliable source coverage about her work in that role to clear WP:GNG, and being a non-winning candidate for parliament is not a notability criterion at all. But the sourcing present here isn't adequate, consisting mainly of local pennysavers and her political party's own internal newsletter — and she isn't the subject of any of the few sources that actually count for anything toward GNG, but merely has her existence namechecked in coverage that isn't about her. This is not the type of sourcing that it takes to get someone into Wikipedia for the notability claim that's been provided here. Bearcat (talk) 15:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

particularly potentially doubtful encyclopic relevance, since mainly sourced by "bradleystokexxx.co.uk", but also the wiki may be interpreted as 'profiling', for instance the first section (lead revision as of 15:37, 31 August 2017):

[quotation start:] "Councillor Tom Aditya (born 14th April) is a British community campaigner and management consultant, currently serving as the Deputy Mayor of Bradley Stoke, Bristol and the Vice-Chairman of the Avon and Somerset Police Panel, which covers Bristol City, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Taunton Deane, West Somerset, South Somerset, Sedgemoor and Mendips districts. He is the first person of Asian origin to be elected in South Gloucestershire County and the first South Indian elected on Conservative party ticket in the UK. He is also a trustee of Bristol Multi Faith Forum , which builds fruitful and constructive relationships amongst faith communities. Tom Aditya is also a columnist and speaker as well as an exponent in political science, academics and technology." [quotation end.]

Since I was just wikignoming and re-categorizing Kerala-related wikis, started Talk:Tom Aditya on 31 August 2017; and its main contributor @Amaljyothi1: stated, that [quotation start] "...Since he is considered as one of the Ambassadors of Kerala in the UK, it is proper for him to be included in the People from Kerala category. Moreover, since he is working amongst the various faith communities in the UK, it is right to classify him as an Indian Christian too rather than just the 'Saint Thomas Christian' tag...

  • Delete. Being well-known in a particular ethnic community is not a Wikipedia inclusion criterion per se — it's not clearly quantifiable how well-known somebody is or isn't in most cases, but rather "well-known" is a vague claim that's open to abuse and hype-inflation. So we judge notability not on the basis of the general claim to being well-known, but on the basis of specific things that the person has done, specific roles that they've held, specific analysis of the specific sources brought to bear, and on and so forth. And on that basis, what's here isn't adequate at all: the article is entirely too dependent on primary sources and routine local coverage in a local WordPress blog, with not even close to enough genuine reliable source coverage shown at all. And nothing claimed in the article is an automatic notability freebie that would exempt him from having to show more reliable source coverage than this, either. Bearcat (talk) 15:52, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bearcat (talk), I understand your opinion. However, let me clarify few things which you mentioned. Yes, I have quoted a local newspaper for few of the local matters, but have also quoted from Malayala Manorama (www.manoramaonline.com) which has circulation of more than 2.5 million printed circulation and is one of the largest newspapers in India and www.deepika.com, a newspaper established in the 1887. They are not primary sources but independent third party sources which are many years old. As I mentioned earlier, since I am not a professional wikipeadia writer, there can be mistakes. Hence please correct me. I wrote the article ===Tom Aditya=== based on the facts available online. Hence request to please help to edit the article.

  • Speedy Keep - it's hard to imagine how having three album articles does not mean the subject is notable. WP:NOTINHERITED applied the other way around: an album is not immediately notable just because the subject has an article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:23, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect- Redirect to Sonicflood. Having articles about albums doesn't necessarily make one notable and I'd likely support deleting them if they get nominated. SonicFlood is notable, but I don't see Deyo being that notable on his own. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:51, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Sonicflood as target for a redirect. Reason is that while Sonicflood broke up within 2 years of Deyo's departure. Deyo formed a new band that toured and got press coverage, including at least some (looked minor) press coverage for the albums. My suggestion is that the post-Sonicflood albums be redirectted to this article, while this article continues to be linked from Sonicflood.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:46, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps you want to unbold your response so it doesn't look like another !vote. Since SonicFlood charted on their own, I don't see why they'd be a redirect. They pass WP:NBAND Niteshift36 (talk) 15:03, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • revisiting, double-checking myself I ran a gNews search and immediately hit upon in Christianity Today, datelne 2014: "The age of worship rock that started with Jeff Deyo turning In The Secret (I Want to Know You) into a power-pop song in 1999 has officially ended—and it's about time.

  • Redirect to Sonicflood, per WP:ATD-R. The subject is nowhere close to meeting WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. E.M.Gregory has found few sources which give a passing mention of the subject. But we need in-depth coverage in multiple independent reliable sources for a standalone BLP.

  • Comment – These two interviews of the subject were published in the sources of online communities. One of them is a charity which promotes Christian Music and the other one is an online community. Sometimes these sort of sources can be used to add non-controversial info in BLPs, provided there is editorial oversight. But they can never be used to prove notability. As already stated, he is known for Sonicflood, and his relevant details are already covered in that article's history section. At best few other relevant sentences might be added there. - NitinMlk (talk) 17:18, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Beliefs aside, Worship Leader takes user submitted articles and appears to lack editorial oversight. That will pretty much remove it from bein a RS. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Among other things, these religion-promoting sites are blatant violation of one of WP's three core content policies – WP:NPOV. That's why these types of sites/charities/NGOs aren't considered as reliable enough to add encyclopedic content in BLPs, let alone proving their notability. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • note that this article was created in 2007, which was just after Deyo's fairly brief career as a performer wound down and he segued to full-time college music prof who does gigs as a worship leader.

  • Nonsense. The overwhelming majority of non-for-profit organizations are POV promoters of one ideology or another. As are most mainstream media. Neither the Wall Street Journal nor The Guardian makes the least pretense of being ideologically neutral, but both are regarded as WP:RS, as is Christian Broadcasting Network, which promotes Christianity. Audubon (magazine) is for the birds. Rolling Stone takes an anti-George Frideric Handel POV. With media, the quesiton is how reliable is the source, not is it POV. With small professional outfits like Worship Leader, or, indeed with any non-profit, the question is how significant and how reputable a non-profit org is, not whether it takes a NPOV. Even small, specialized outfits like Worship Leader contribute their mite to notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:01, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Despite the assertion by NitinMlk above, sources such as CBN are valid, independent sources for supporting notability of a recording artist when they publish material such as this detailed, longish: [91] review of the post-Sonicflood Jeff Dayo album Unveil. The fact that Deyo is Christian and the network is Christian does not invalidate it as a source any more than a review in Hip Hop Weekly is invalid as a source supporting the notability of a Hip Hop musician. Forgive me, I know that patience is a Christian virtue, but there is tendency on the part of some non-religious editors to lose all sense of perspective when confronted with articles about Gospel musicians. I continue to feel that the many sources I have adduced above more than suffice to support the notability of this minor performer/recording artist/worship leader whose career peaked ~2000 and notability included, but was not limited to, the band Sonicflood which was a bit of a big deal at the time. We all need to try harder to assess articles notability objectively.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:13, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I've already stated, it was a promo of his album. So, it cannot be used to prove his notability. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Despite the fact that CBN likes the album, the singer, and the idea of singers recording this type of song, BCBN is an WP:INDEPENDENT source, a broadcast network publishing an article about a new album.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:31, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • RedirectDelete and make a disambiguation page Updating my !vote to reflect new information from other !votes. to consubstantiation or transubstantiation. The whole debate centres around whether the communion literally transforms into the body and blood of Christ, as believed by Catholics, or whether the process is merely symbolic, as Protestants believe. Either way, a redirect to Eucharist would be the very minimum. DrStrauss talk 15:30, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Eucharist. The literal belief is held by the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox as well, and the transubstantiation article is mainly about the Latin theology (it does have some Eastern theology, but not enough where I think it is a good target for this redirect). Some Protestant groups also use the terminology in their liturgies even if they hold a view of it as a memorial. Transubstantiation is simply too Latin Church focused for a topic that is central to Christianity as a whole.

  • Redirect to Eucharist, if anything. Transubstantiation would be a very pov redirect as it is a particular view regarding the topic.

  • Delete and then disambiguate All of the above suggestions have merit, but I think the most recent one, a disambiguation page linking to many of the other options listed above, is the most equitable and NPOV. Jclemens (talk) 18:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Jclemens, I'd be open to the disambiguation option, but I think the deletion makes little sense here for one reason: the phrase The Body and Blood of Christ in that exact syntax is used in many Christian liturgical traditions during the act of receiving communion, making the use of the definite article here a likely search term. Disambiguating Body of Christ I like a lot, and then keeping this as a redirect pointing to it could be useful. I respect your thoughts on these matters, so if you have a specific reason for deleting the redirect I'd be interested in hearing it. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:46, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • TonyBallioni Sorry if I was unclear--by delete, I mean that there is no need to preserve the current content in any way. Ultimately, one of The Body and Blood of Christ and Body and Blood of Christ should be a disambiguation, and the other a redirect to the disambiguation. Does that clarify sufficiently? Jclemens (talk) 18:50, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yes. That makes sense. I've struck my !vote above, and added a delete !vote below here. I concur with your reasoning. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Eucharist There is no need for disambiguation because all the other targets are subtopics of the eucharist; it makes little sense to make a disambiguation page that (badly) reproduces the section on various theories about how it "works". Mangoe (talk) 14:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Blessed Sacrament, which is "a devotional name used in the Latin Church of the Catholic Church, as well as in Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Methodism, and the Old Catholic Church, as well as in some of the Eastern Catholic Churches, to refer to the body and blood of Christ in the form of consecrated sacramental bread and wine at a celebration of the Eucharist." Per TonyBallioni, Body and Blood of Christ already directs there. Scolaire (talk)
  • Redirect probably to Eucharist or Lord's Supper. Blessed Sacrament is primarily a Catholic term. I believe that Catholic doctrine has five or even seven sacraments, all of which are presumably "blessed". The present content of the article is about the resurrection, not any sacrament, so that there is nothing to merge. If there is some other potential target, I would not object to making it a disambiguation page, but it may be that a redirects here capnote will be sufficient to deal with that. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:28, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note Lord's Supper is currently a redirect to Eucharist. Body and Blood of Christ redirects to Blessed Sacrament, which is a free-sanding article, which appears to be duplicating Eucharist: should they be merged? Peterkingiron (talk) 13:34, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Mangoe (talk) 16:24, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with merge. I still think the suggested disambiguation page at Body and Blood of Christ is ideal.

  • Keep The topic is clearly notable as there's an entire book about it and numerous academic papers including:
  1. Leakiness and creepiness in app space
  2. The cost of creepiness: How online behavioral advertising affects consumer purchase intention
  3. On the nature of creepiness
  4. Antecedents and Outcomes of Perceived Creepiness in Online Personalized Communications

  6. Defining Creepiness
  7. An examination of intuitive judgements of “creepiness”.
  8. On the eeriness of service robots with emotional capabilities
  9. A theory of creepy: technology, privacy and shifting social norms
So, the hasty nomination clearly fails WP:BEFORE and WP:BITE. The reference to WP:NAD is the common error of supposing that a short stub is a dictionary entry.

  • keep This article is easily expandable as a sociological issue. Google scholar gives 50,000 search returns on this topic. This high number doesn't surprise me at all given the large amount of social settings wherein creepiness is often attributable. One of the reasons this topic is also important is it touches upon some uncomfortable double standards in our society. For instance women are seldom and very rarely desribed as "creepy" It is almost entirely a male attribute. It is the duty of an encyclopedia, especially the largest encyclopedia in the world to touch upon a glaring phenomenon in society. All the more so because the term "creepy" is often used in a vague setting thus making the subject of the accusation feel the transgression is obscure. 79.67.72.116 (talk) 00:28, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not Wikipedia's function or "duty" to expose what should be exposed. As for Google Scholar, the provided search yields 2400 hits. The hits with significant citation counts relate to online privacy and "leakiness." One states how the psychological concept is so little explored. Not much to support a supposedly notable topic. • Gene93k (talk) 15:02, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strange, when I click the Google Scholar link above, or run the query directly, I get only 2,400 hits, not 50,000. Further, for the search term "bollocks", I get 7,380 hits; for "bodacious", I get 2,530; for "chortle", I get 4,970; for "sometimes", over 5 million; for "maybe", over 2 million. I submit that the number of documents in Google Scholar that happen to contain a given word isn't a measure of whether the word denotes an encyclopedic topic or a topic that is a frequent object of study, and isn't an indication of notability.

  • Changing earlier !vote to weak keep. Google Scholar does give the impression that the subject has been as a phenomenon by multiple studies. But the article needs work. At the moment, it's a definition, a mention of one study, and mentions of a couple of places where the word "creepy" has been used. It needs more coverage of the phenomenon, relating what the studies have to say about it. And it should exclude trivia about where people have remarked that something or other is creepy. The article should be about the subject that the word "creepiness" refers to, not about the word itself. Largoplazo (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a reasonable topic for an article. As several people have pointed out, there is even significant academic research on this subject. Articles should be deleted if they have no potential, not if they are inadequate in the few days after their creation. Wait a month or two and nominate again if there is no improvement.

The result was no consensus. There doesn't seem to be any firm consensus one way on the other with this - indeed, it is fairly typical for list articles of this type to close in this manner. Indeed, WP:NOTESAL states "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists".

  • Keep. It is a surprisingly long list of schools to be located in one "neighborhood" of Toronto. Hmm, it seems Scarborough, Toronto is a former city, itself. This could easily be suitable for a section on Education in its article....hmm, Scarborough, Toronto#Education exists as a section, and this list was apparently split out of there for being too long. Hmm, I don't really want to second-guess the decision to split it out, because it is a big chunk of perfectly valid material that seems perhaps too long to keep in the Scarborough article. An alternative to keeping which could perhaps be acceptable would be to force "merge" it back in, but why do that? Would the deletion nominator prefer that it be renamed somehow? I am sure that Education sections in other cities must have been split out too, e.g. List of Baltimore City Public Schools and others in Category:Education's subcategories by geography. --doncram 21:20, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Being a former city is irrelevant to whether a standalone list of every individual school in it is necessary or not — it's not a current city, which is what matters. Bearcat (talk) 02:21, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If these divisions don't make sense for this purpose, the categories should be listed at CFD to be upmerged as well. I suspect all of the included articles are already in more specific categories, such as Category:High schools in Toronto. postdlf (talk) 14:22, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Map of Scarborough in red, within Toronto, from Scarborough, Toronto article
I'm not going to express an opinion on keeping or deleting here, but I do want to comment on the point about being a former vs current city. WP:NTEMP argues that the current status doesn't matter. If Scarborough were still a city, would you then be arguing to keep? If so, then arguing to delete just because it's no longer a city seems inconsistent with WP:NTEMP. On the other hand Category:Education in Scarborough, Toronto would seem to cover this adequately, just like Category:Schools in the Bronx, Category:Schools in Brooklyn, etc. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not longer a city. It's also no longer a borough, or a township. Was it a town at one point? What it is now, rather than being a township of York county, is a district of the City of Toronto - boundaries unchanged. And it still has a community council, currently with ten wards, and ten councillors who meeting almost monthly. See here. Nfitz (talk) 07:30, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There is no policy or guideline anywhere saying that "Education" cannot be discussed in an article about a place, despite the place being included in some other larger place. Scarborough is apparently a populated place of 625,000 persons in 2011 and it seems especially appropriate to have some coverage about Education in a place of that size. This AFD seems to be about content of the Scarborough article, in effect, as the list-article appears to have been split out from it in 2008. There was then immediately some back and forth about text about two private high schools which both claimed to be the oldest in Scarborough (text was moved from the split-out article to the Education section in the Scarborough article, where it remains). Actually, it seems to me that the list-article would better be framed as the "main" article, and include everything in the Education section of the Scarborough article plus more so that the section is a summary, and then use a template:main link from the Education article rather than a "see also" link. I have given notice of this AFD just now at the Talk page of the Scarborough article. --doncram 17:21, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no requirement that it be especially special education there. It's a matter of size of the Scarborough article. There is no rule limiting size of what can be covered, and some editors have chosen to cover a lot about education/schools there, and then it is reasonable to split it out. --doncram 04:46, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I think the editors in and around Toronto need to consider how (or whether) to list all schools in the city. There ought to be some consistency across the former municipalities that I don't see - for example I found nothing for East York, and "List of educational institutions in Toronto" redirects to Education in Toronto. Keeping and maintaining a list of elementary schools is a big task that I wouldn't recommend - in my opinion maintaining a list of secondary-level schools and higher is reasonable. I'm leaning towards a 'delete' vote for the list in question, but I don't feel strongly enough to provide more than this comment. PKT(alk) 18:43, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, PKT has a good point. I think probably the better approach is to have lists by school district, in school district articles which would not be questioned, at least for public schools. What are the facts about school districts, is there one huge Toronto School District? Is there a separate school district for Scarborough? The Scarborough article could state simply that education is covered by schools in School District X and School District Y, and then there'd be no need for public schools to be covered in a separate Education article. If a bunch of the private schools are part of, say, a Catholic archdiocese, those ones might be consolidated there. --doncram 01:05, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Specifically, many/most of the listed schools could be listed instead in what seem to be the "District" articles:
I am really not familiar with how all the institutes work, what they are part of, but if a Canadian would take on the task of merging the lists of schools to the relevant district articles, that could be a good resolution here (essentially "Merge"). Can anyone do that? --doncram 01:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I don't immediately see a list of the Toronto District School Board schools, but i do find List of schools in the Toronto Catholic District School Board, which presents just a bare list without indicating addresses or neighborhoods or anything else about its named schools. Perhaps "located in Scarborough" could be added where appropriate. The need for a separate "Education" article for Scarborough is eliminated if Scarborough location is noted for all these. --doncram 01:17, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB)'s borders both align with the new(ish) City of Toronto but CSV (French public board) is an amalgamation of 6 old boards - only one (CEFCUT) was in Toronto; the other 5 cover the entire Southwestern Ontario, Niagara Peninsula, Hamilton, the rest of the GTA outside of Toronto, and a surprising chunk of Central Ontario. The French Catholic Board (CSDCCS) is a bit more limited, but still covers most of the entire Golden Horseshoe and some of the surrounding counties. I don't know what the solution is, but combining all the boards together makes no geographical sense, or else we'll end up with simply an article for the entire Southern Ontario.

I nominate User:Nfitz to fix the situation! The main editing needed, as far as I can tell, is to modify several school district articles to be sure they list their Scarborough-located schools (and identify them as being in Scarborough). The school district articles are fine (they certainly should not be merged) and can include partial or complete lists of their schools. Then the educational institutions in Scarborough article can be merged back into the Scarborough article, which should just include summary mentions such as (these are made up numbers) "Scarborough has 8 primary schools and 3 middle schools and 2 high schools in the Toronto Catholic School District", etc. Please someone close this with affirmation of Nfitz's task assignment, before they can decline! --doncram 21:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obvious keep. Even the original version of the article was sourced with a top reliable reference (although badly formatted), showing that the nominator did neither attempt to do his homework (per WP:BEFORE) before nominating the article for deletion, nor made any (even trivial) attempts to improve the article (by formatting the given source correctly) as would have been his duty before nominating the article for deletion. If the nominator really was uncapable of identifying or reformatting the given source himself, he could have asked for sources via our established article improvement procedures instead of asking for deletion. This has been explained to the nominator several times already, therefore this must be seen as unconstructive behaviour.
In general, character sets of mass-produced computers and devices as well as those of significant solitaire machines (like those of the mainframe era) are important encyclopedic information, expected by readers to be provided by Wikipedia. They are highly sought after by computer historians, computer forensics, retro-computer users, and developers seeking for info on how to exchange and convert data and programs to/from modern systems. We therefore have a long-time project documenting character sets here at Wikipedia to achieve our goal of becoming a reliable reference for the knowledge of the world, past and present.
A codepage used by IBM mainframes and by APL is obviously notable.
The article fulfills our notability criteria (per WP:N) and is verified (per WP:V). But even if it wouldn't, WP:NPOSSIBLE would have applied, so the nomination is bogus. The nominator is wasting the time and energy of contributing editors.

  • Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of data. I can't tell whether this was actually used at all. There is no reason for an encyclopedia to transcribe the entire DOS Manual. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? This is a codepage used by IBM mainframes and by APL, not by MS-DOS. You can be absolutely sure that codepages listed in IBM's CDRA were (or are) used, because they registered only codepages used by large corporations.
There are many more character sets in existance, some of them important, others not, but those registered by IBM and carrying a codepage number were (or are) without any doubt significant, otherwise they wouldn't have made it into the registry. That's why I wrote that the given reference is a top quality reference.
In general, our goal here in Wikipedia is to eventually become a top-reliable reference preserving and presenting the knowledge of the world, past and present, in encyclopedic form. Character sets are encyclopedic relevant information (unless they were/are for some unknown or home-brew machine or only used in a closed system with no interface to the outside world, so that there is nothing externally that had or has a need to interact with them). Character sets are also explained in other encyclopedias.
Unless we would start to document all (several thousand!) character sets ever in existance (which we are not trying to do) there is no risk to become an indiscriminate collection of data.

  • Merge to APL (codepage), where it is mentioned. As far as I can tell, code page 293 is an important version of an APL code. Codepages are unusually important for APL, a language with custom symbols and codes. Having all the APL codepage content under one article better serves our readers, and APL (codepage) is the better developed article. --Mark viking (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Most articles covering multiple character sets (like f.e. HP Roman) are about sets of similarly arranged characters, whereas in this case the resulting article would have to discuss a number of vastly different EBCDIC and ASCII based arrangements, but I agree that discussing them all in one place might have some value in itself. However, IMO it only makes sense if we'd merge all APL-related character sets into a single article, including codepage 293, codepage 907, IR-68 and a few more that exist, and if we'd do it without deleting information. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 06:37, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. I'm really conflicted here. On the one hand, I doubt this meets WP:GNG. On the other hand, the basic concept of different character sets and/or codepages is clearly an important topic. It's also useful to archive information about all of these historical codepages somewhere. The question is whether wikipedia is the right place. I don't have a good answer for that. If there were some other stable/durable place where this information was archived, then I'd say we don't need it. But, I don't know of such a place (codepageapedia, anyone?). Given that no better archive exists, I think it's reasonable to bend our rules a bit and say keep it here. I'd also like to see a general policy statement emerge, rather than having this same debate over and over for each individual example. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:09, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This employment specialty, "Missile and Space Systems Electrical Maintenance", is a subcategory of "Missile and Space Systems Maintenance". The latter is described at length in internal documents [95] and recruiting literature [96] [97] [98] published by the U.S. Air Force, but these do not qualify as "independent" under WP:GNG. The only independent source I can find is a Rand Corporation publication on the future of the Air Force, which lists the specialties within the latter category and briefly describes some proposed cuts in this sector [99]. Since this source is primary and doesn't give broader contextualization, I don't think it is "in-depth" enough to allow us to write an encyclopedic article more useful than the listing of these specialties under Air_Force_Specialty_Code#Maintenance_and_logistics. My opinion could be changed to a merge to Missile and Space Systems Maintenance if someone found, for example, a page or two in a military history book describing the emergence of this specialty and the historical importance of its contributions.

Also related to AfD for Adda52rummy. According to one announcement, it is now owned by Delta Corp Limited which could be a viable redirect. Currently, it fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH.

  • Don't Delete - User:CNMall41 has said " I am finding that most are coming from blogs, poker websites, or other unreliable sources.". I would like to clarify that there are 20 references given in the list.

A) Ref. 1 to 4, 19 are poker news website(but independent sources, those websites is not run by Adda52)
B) Ref. 5 - Scroll.in, Ref. 6 - vccircle.in, Ref. 8 - Indiatimes, Ref. 9 - Catchnews, Ref. 10 - Indiatimes Ref. 11 - Business standard, Ref. 12 - The Hindu Business line, Ref. 13 - The HansInida, Ref. 17 - Zee news India, Ref. 18 -Siasat, Ref. 20 - livemint news
C) 2 references from primary sources & 1 reference from others (But not just blog).
Now, please clarify me which are blogs & other unreliable sources. In (B), You can see many reliable reputed news sources. If I am wrong, please clarify.
According to Wikipedia guidelines, complete notability criteria is met by this subject. If not, Please explain. Thank you.Uyarafath (talk) 12:36, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You only addressed half of my comment. I also said that the rest are routine announcements and brief mentions. If you feel that these references establish notability, please state which reference is from a reliable source and establishes WP:CORPDEPTH. I went through them all and cannot find one. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:56, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:CNMall41, I really would like to know. Could you please direct me to any of Wikipedia article about a company and the references which broadly talk about those companies. So, I will somehow understand what exactly mean 'core mentioning'. kindly show me few Wiki articles about companies and those references. So, at least I correct myself. It will be great from you. Thank youUyarafath (talk) 04:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Showing you other articles is pointless as we are not discussing other articles - which also would lead down the path to WP:OSE. We are discussing this article and you would need to address why you feel it meets notability guidelines - as I have addressed why I feel it does not. The relevant guideline for you to look at is WP:CORPDEPTH which has been pointed out to you already on this and other AfD discussions. If you can show how the references meet WP:CORPDEPTH and the topic meets WP:GNG, I will gladly request the withdraw of my delete nomination.--CNMall41 (talk) 17:46, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete / merge to Online poker. There is some coverage, but niche and unreliable, a lot of it seems like rewritten press release. This has major issues with WP:CORSPAM. I do think the company could be mention in (to be created) 'online poker in India' section in Online poker, which could discuss the poker market and list major companies around the world. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:54, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTSPAM and WP:N. Oppose merging of the content because it is largely promotional. Recent changes to WP:ORGIND mean that there is no policy basis for counting all of the low-quality press release coverage as cited above for a reason to weak keep it. They are excluded by our guidelines as counting towards notability. I wouldn't object to a redirect after the article has been deleted, but there is nothing in its history worth maintaining.

Untouched since 2009. Deprodded with addition of a single source which does not appear reliable. Fails WP:HOWTO and WP:RS. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 05:47, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The source is plainly reliable as the most authoritative card game website in existence. I first went to redirect the article to Glossary of poker terms, like many such other specialized terms, but the article is too long to keep the rather long amount of words needed to full explain the definition, so keeping the article is a better solution. Simply deleting the article is aggressively user-unfriendly, and would unnecessarily lead to content forks whenever the term needed to be used in articles, so best to keep the article and next best to redirect it. 2005 (talk) 05:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@2005: The content on pagat.com appears to be entirely user submitted, meaning that it is not a reliable source. If there are no reliable sources, then the article should be redirected or deleted. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 06:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but whatever, there are hundreds of references to the site in the Wikipedia because it the most authoritative source on card games in the world, and referenced in many books, journals and library websites. Again, there is no question it is a reliable source, and plainly the most reliable source about card games in existence. And of course a simple Google search will reveal both the pagat page and the article are accurate presentations of the meaning of the term. The only question about the article is that it is a "term", perhaps better for wikitionary and the glossary than an article, but it does no harm as an article in the form it is in, and is needed in some form because multiple other articles refer to it because it is the equivalent of an article like shuffle without which a reader would not be able to understand an article.2005 (talk) 06:48, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete no indication of notability as shown by the lack of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. The book-reference and the list of books at Google books focus on the game of poker and the multitude of poker games. This is not significant coverage of this topic per GNG and fails WP:NRV by failing to obtain verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. Also, fails NOTHOWTO - Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Sources are needed that discuss the subject in detail, not the details of how to play. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:15, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course any book references for a variant of poker will be in books about poker. There is no need for a whole book to be about the article subject for it to have significant coverage of the subject. And WP:NOTHOWTO is about the way an article should be written, not about whether it should exist. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry to say, the last part of your statement is incorrect. Any of the WP:ISNOT criteria are valid grounds to argue for deletion. In this case, the relevant section title is: "Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal" and please see: instruction manual and (video) game guide and so on. Thanks. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:00, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • From WP:NOTHOWTO:

    Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not.

  • I would not agree that a redirect to Glossary of poker terms would be the right outcome. I still contend, per the book sources that I mentioned above, that this is a notable topic, but the primary meaning of "roll your own" is obviously Roll-your-own cigarette and this phrase is used metaphorically in many other fields, so this article should be moved to Roll your own (poker). WP:NOTHOWTO is clearly not applicable to this article, but anyway the contention that it is reason for deletion rather than for changing the way an article is written has no support in deletion policy. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:34, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Redacted) ---Steve Quinn (talk) 20:56, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, per WP:N: A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
  1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and
  2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And WP:NOTHOWTO says nothing about it excluding an article rather than writing it in an acceptable way, but, anyway, as I have pointed out twice above, this article is already written in an acceptable way per that policy. You are the one who is arguing against consensus by claiming that it is a reason for deletion(Redacted). 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOTHOWTO does indicate whether or not a topic deserves to have its own article. When a topic matches NOTHOWTO or any other "WP:ISNOT" then it is not meant to have its own article. There is nothing in this article that is based on coverage that says it is notable. The article consists of mundane details consisting of the rules of how to play in a general way.
This is the definition of a How to Manual; a Rulebook; a Game Guide; or Instruction Manual; all of which, frankly, Wikipedia is not. (Redacted). The content of the article consists of instructing the reader about how to manipulate the cards during a game - and that is all. So, the NOTHOWTO is one pointer that demonstrates notability or the lack thereof.
For example, there is nothing about the game's impact on society or groups within societies. There is no rationale presented as to why this is significant and has garnered notice in the media which enables it to be an encyclopedic entry. Hence, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (WP:IINFO). There is nothing in the article that discusses the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of this topic, as well as having concise summaries of those attributes in the Wikipedia article.
Regarding the deletion policy - see numbers seven and eight in the reasons for deletion:
7. Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
8.Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
AfDs such as this are discussion forums to determine whether or not a topic meets the notability guidelines. The discussions and the guidelines help to determine whether or not a topic should have its own stand-alone article. The WP:ISNOT criteria is specifically noted in WP:N; and "WP:ISNOT" is a policy page; and is one of the five pillars - please see - WP:5P1. Additionally, please note that I struck some of my comments. ----Steve Quinn (talk) 03:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And I demonstrated above that loads of reliable sources exist to verify this and that it flies through notability guidelines. I can really do without lectures from the instigator of the most ridiculous and most ignorant deletion nomination that I have seen in over a decade of editing Wikipedia, who also thinks that a piece of utter trivia belongs in an encyclopedia. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:43, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per the persuasive arguments by nom. I would also agree that this should not be a redirect, at least not to poker jargon as the vast majority of people typing this topic in would be looking for the cigarette type subject.

  • Delete: This article was started 5 years ago and has not been revised since. It is a very small extract, just the 5 largest County Mayo towns, from the full version List of census towns in the Republic of Ireland, where the County Mayo entry consists of 32 towns, so it makes no sense to have this incomplete list. I can't find any other counties that have such a "largest town census data" page and this one omits up to date data. The latest census date for these 5 towns already exists in the main County Mayo article and this could easily be added there if warranted. I cannot see any justifiable reason to keep this orphan as it serves no new or significant purpose and only duplicates information available more fully elsewhere. ww2censor (talk) 11:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge, probably to County Mayo, per Ww2censor's nomination. If all the info in the article currently is already in the County Mayo article, or could be put there in the merge implementation, then no one should object. I am not sure this required an AFD; perhaps some bold editing to just implement the merge, or having a merge discussion at the Talk pages, would have sufficed instead. Since redirects are cheap, it does no harm to leave the redirect behind and avoid completely deleting someone's contribution. --doncram 21:17, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This was a PROD byBoleyn under BLPROD, and declined by Drmies. I did support deletion, (see article talk page) and that's all I'm gonna say about the prod. While subject did win silver and bronze, she still fails the general guidelines, and the 2 sources in the article really only prove existence not notability. Unfortunately, the author, XerxesFalcon, is under an Indef block with 6 months for the SO, and has talk page access revoked, so we are unable to get their side of this. The article has gone nearly a month without improvement to the references, and I don't think waiting 6 months for the off chance the author does ask for and receive an unblock, so that's why I'm pulling the trigger now.

No indication of notability, cannot find a widespread use of the term in the sense in which it is described on the page; only in a very loose sense, with multiple meanings. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 00:04, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Multiply-sourced article about a phrase that was used often in partisan discussions within and between left and right a decade ago. Also note that the user who introduced the notability tag recently removed it, citing "minimal coverage found & cited." Indeed, there could be more evidence of notability here, though elapsed time makes that a bit more of a chore than it would have been back then. Another problem with sourcing is that it was predominantly used on television and online partisan media. Such media is only "reliable" as primary-source proof that it was used there, so further sourcing might face challenges by those who scrub such sourcing. Search for "reality-based george bush" to find many such references, including a Bill Clinton comment on this term. Still, though what's currently there is minimal, it forms enough of a basis to keep the article, which has already survived two deletion attempts. Calbaer (talk) 03:29, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I truly had no idea this article had been AfD'd before until I saw that Twinkle had started the AfD page with "(3rd nomination)". ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 02:24, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTTEMPORARY. While I don't remember seeing much use of this term recently, it was clearly (re: deletion discussion #2) used prominently enough just a few years ago to justify its continued existence as an article. Cthomas3 (talk) 04:25, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While I don't have an opinion on whether or not the page should be deleted, I would point out a problem with some of the above arguments as well as those from previous deletion discussions – namely, that notability depends on direct and detailed coverage of a topic. Passing mentions or in-context uses of a phrase are not enough. In particular, not every neologism (such as this one) is suitable for encyclopedic treatment, no matter how commonly used by high-profile sources. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:39, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, it would be nice if the users here asserting the term's relevance to this or that phenomenon would cite some reliable sources rather than relying on original research. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 17:02, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The problem with the argument isn't that the term isn't used, it's that the meaning varies with use. The vast majority of usages I've found use it to mean "people who agree with me." I've seen it from both sides of the political isle, from liberal Christians (contrasting with fundamentalist Christians), from secularists (contrasting with religious folks), from social activists, etc, etc. I agree without reservation that the phrase is extremely common and often used. It's just that it's such a generic and vague phrase that you can't rely on mere usage to establish notability. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 02:22, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This isn't a phrase with a single meaning, and even if it were, this isn't supposed to be a dictionary. Anmccaff (talk) 04:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per two previous AfD discussions; and because Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. Article needs improvement to cover the history of the phrase and the competing political communities that claim the high-ground of being the true reality-based community.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:20, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- It was more prominent 10 years ago than it is today, but I don't think that's a valid reason to delete Wikipedia articles. In any case (if you're looking for recent relevance) this is the other side of Alternative facts, and the Wikipedia article was mentioned in an interview in the Atlantic magazine just the day before yesterday.[107] -- AnonMoos (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I remember the phrase, and the incident, as being very prominent in the media at the time. While the phrase could be used in other contexts, the meaning in the article refers to a specific use in a specific incident, and as such the meaning (as the subject of an article) does not vary, as MjolnirPants claims. Thue (talk) 13:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Agree that the contemporaneous sources more than guarantee the entry should be kept on grounds of WP:GNG; plus the cite from September 2017 from The Atlantic right there holds that the term was historic for over a decade, remains current, and that it must be kept forever. It is true that some of its adherents may finally have come to realize how embarrassing their self-given motto always was, but that should be no grounds for its expunging from the Wikipedia. XavierItzm (talk) 10:22, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per all of the above. The recent citation in The Atlantic shows that it has staying weight as a term and meets WP:N. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:25, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The mention of the phrase in The Atlantic is from a Q&A with a rock musician who mentions the Wiki page and Ron Suskind's original article, by way of discussing a song on his current album. How exactly is that significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources? —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
