  • Delete. How did this stub last for over 11 years without a single reference? Reviewing its history, it was pure WP:PROMO. I searched online, found no evidence of notability. Jack N. Stock (talk) 06:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article, largely sourced to Facebook and Twitter, fails WP:POLOUTCOMES as an unrecognized [1] political party founded in 2016 with no elected officeholders. A BEFORE search indicates it also fails GNG for not having received substantial coverage in WP:RS. Indeed, this WP article seems to be functioning as the group's website.

Does not a appear to be a notable person as required by WP:GNG. I couldn't find any sources even to verify this basic stub. Being a early 20th century person isn't helping in terms of trying to locate sources; a google book search didn't yield anything useful. Mattg82 (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The article is not cited and actually contains false information. The first sentence of the article says "Elizabeth Ridgely Nicholas was responsible for the creation of Douglass College at Rutgers University." That's not true, Mabel Smith Douglass founded the New Jersey College for Women (which would later be renamed in her honor) Nicholas may have been the first Registrar, but I can't even verify that and even if true registrar is not a notable position.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as no sources which actually prove the existence of the claimed building. Lack of sources within article, which also means it is doubtable and unverified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.231.12.99 (talk) 21:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response:This is a valid point, but the article page is not just of the building, but it is ABOUT it (parlicularly the 'campaigning' section, but also the infobox, which contains references which are poorly sourced and thus constitutes speculation. Further, none of the articles are particularly recent. 151.231.12.99 (talk)
What does the recency of the articles have to do with anything? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ResponseThe recency of the articles indicates whether the content of the article is still valid but I see your point sir. Historic articles can be valid, but must class themselves as such and not puport to be current articles as this article does by use of present tense verbs and participles in the article in question. Merge & Redirect to Conservative Party (UK) may be a better option? What do you think, or anyone else who wishes to contribute? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.231.12.99 (talk)
If something needs updating then you add Template:Update, you don't start a process to delete over 200 edits spanning 14 years. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response age is irrelevant, it is quality that is important. And this article lacks it. Many of the edits also appear to be Sockpuppets - not all, but a significant number, which leads me to also suspect it of Category:Articles with a promotional tone breach, as suggested if you read lots of parts of the article. 151.231.12.99 (talk)
The edits by the sockpuppets have been reverted, don't you worry about that. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:08, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It isn't a building (and the article makes that clear), it's a function. That function has gone through at least two names, and several physical addresses. All of which are adequately sourced and easily sourcable to anyone who wants to extend this. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response WP:NPOV criteria not met as the function fo it seems to be affiliation with Conservative Party (UK) which is not enough. Needs more. Function appears to be 'campaigning', but that entire section is unsourced. Also promotional langyage throughout which is in breach of G11 151.231.12.99 (talk)
  • What part fails NPOV? And why would that be a reason for deletion, rather than fixing it by editing? Andy Dingley (talk) 22:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response*Campaigning section is promotional and in breach of Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION above, heightened by it being largely (if not entirely) unsourced - only sources are linkedin profiles of staff there which makes it more promotional! Location section is also not from a neutral point of view, as it appears to point to its advantages of the building 151.231.12.99 (talk) 22:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response Not a single one of the sources in the 'Campaigning' section of the article are LinkedIn profiles of staff. The sources that are LinkedIn profiles of staff are the list of key staff in the infobox. 'Campaigning' section includes 16 distinct sources, three of which are national media articles. Saying that the mention in the 'Location' section of it being close to Parliament is a breach of NPOV is stretching credibility. Mauls (talk) 12:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: the subject is notable (as evidenced by the sources from mainstream media), the article has multiple reliable sources, including recent sources. The claims made in the nomination above about the state of the article can be seen to be patently false (there were many sources within the article at the point of nomination).

Non-notable politician at best, hoax at worst. All provided online references are either dead links or do not mention the subject. Searching for the subject online reveals nothing except mirrors of this article and of Water supply and sanitation in Burkina Faso where the assumed logged-out IP of the article creator added his name. A search for "Saloh" on the Burkinabe government web site also came up empty. Article was recently restored per a WP:REFUND request after having been deleted per WP:PROD in August 2017. --Finngall talk 21:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I get the same lack of hits for his name (and still only 32 hits if you search only "Gudinva"!) Other people were Minister for Water and Sanitation and Minister for Agriculture and Immigration (which the article originally said) at the time. Links at Talk:Gudinva Saloh § Hoax. I can't verify that Saloh exists. Mortee (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Being a cabinet minister in a national government is certainly a valid notability claim in principle, but the condition is that we have to be able to properly verify that the claim is actually true — which none of the sources here do, and I'm having about as much luck as the nominator and Mortee at finding anything better. I'm in no way an expert in Burkinabé politics, so no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually find and show sources which actually verify that he ever really held the claimed office — for example, it might be possible that the reason we're not finding anything is because there's a spelling error in the title, and we'd find proper verification if we knew the correct spelling — but as things stand right now, this does indeed look very much like a WP:HOAX. Bearcat (talk) 18:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have no opinion on whether this is a hoax, but certainly the utter dearth of sources providing any coverage suggests the topic lacks any notability whatsoever. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:48, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG, WP:NPROF, WP:AUTHOR. While a prolific author, his books are not widely cited or a subject of much beyond book reviews. He himself doesn't receive coverage. h-index of 8 on google scholar.

  • Keep. As you know, I am new to editing and creating wiki articles; this was one of two articles that I created and I have frequently returned to it to learn the editing process. I felt comfortable editing something that I created rather than disturb someone else's work while I learned. But, I have enjoyed making many minor edits to many other wiki articles. I modeled this article on the following: Yahya R. Kamalipour, Christopher H. Sterling, and Michael C. Keith (other communication studies scholars). And, I tried to improve this article over those examples as some of them do not even have sources. While I know your decision to delete this article rather than help correct it has already been made on your part, I will still address your concerns. Regarding notability for academics, this individual meets far more than one of the criteria listed in WP:Academic/WP:NProf. He has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level as noted in the article from the National Communication Association. He held the highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic society, the Broadcast Education Association which has more than 2,000 international educators as members. And, his research has had a significant impact on his scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. There are many citations listed in the article of reviews of his work that speak highly of the work's contributions. Regarding his h-index of 8 on google scholar, that is a significant ranking for his discipline of communication. Wikipedia's own article on h-indices observes that "The h-indices for ("full") professors, based on Google Scholar data ranged from 2.8 (in law), through 3.4 (in political science), 3.7 (in sociology), 6.5 (in geography) and 7.6 (in economics). On average across the disciplines, a professor in the social sciences had an h-index about twice that of a lecturer or a senior lecturer, though the difference was the smallest in geography." Lastly, unless the professor does something scandalous he/she does not receive [media] coverage about themselves -- they are not celebrities. Rather, they are called upon by the media as experts about their areas of study (not about themselves). And, this individual has indeed been cited in numerous American national media outlets ranging from NBC News, FOX, and Congressional Quarterly magazine. His work has been recognized by American national media. Respectfully. Updater500 (talk) 05:54, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think the National Communication Association’s Applied Research Division’s 2011 Distinguished Edited Book Award is NPROF(2). Regarding whether a one year term as president of Broadcast Education Association ([3]) meets NPROF(6) - I will let more experienced academic !votes weigh in.Icewhiz (talk) 06:44, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a follow-up, the National Communication (along with its divisions) is the largest scholarly organization in the communication discipline. It publishes 11 scholarly journals and is highly respected in the discipline of communication and media studies. NPROF2 specifically states: "Some less significant academic honors and awards that confer a high level of academic prestige also can be used to satisfy Criterion 2. Examples may include certain awards, honors and prizes of notable academic societies, of notable foundations and trusts (e.g., the Guggenheim Fellowship, Linguapax Prize), etc. Significant academic awards and honors can also be used to partially satisfy Criterion 1 (see item 4 above in this section)." Regarding the Broadcast Education Association presidency, the BEA president only serves one year. Prior to serving as president of BEA, the president has already held the roles of Vice President of Academic Affairs, Secretary/Treasurer, and member of the Board of Directors. In total, it takes 8-9 years of service on the BEA Board of Directors to become the president. It's not just a "one year" term. Also, regarding your earlier reference to the google scholar h-index, the Wikipedia WP:Academic entry cautions: " For books, the coverage in Google Scholar is partly through Google Book Search, and is very strongly influenced by publisher's permissions and policies. Thus, the absence of references in Google Scholar should not be used as proof of non-notability." Updater500 (talk) 07:32, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Care to show how NPROF(1) is met The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.? Yes, google's h-index isn't perfect - e.g. not finding citations in books. However he does have a verified account and his books are attributed to him on scholar, and it doesn't appear that they are widely cited in journal articles. Not every professor is notable - you need to show significant impact.Icewhiz (talk) 07:57, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • NPROF(1)-- As you probably know, WP:ACADEMIC states that (1) can be met in various ways. Worldcat lists the individual's books in more than 3,300 libraries. Note that WP:ACADEMIC and WP:PROF states: "For scholars in humanities the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases one can also look at how widely the person's books are held in various academic libraries (this information is available in Worldcat) when evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied." Further, Wikipedia states: "Reviews of the person's work, published in selective academic publications, can be considered together with ordinary citations here. Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account. To count towards satisfying Criterion 1, citations need to occur in peer-reviewed scholarly publications such as journals or academic books." The article cites those peer reviewed publications of this individual's work. Again, regarding your references to the h-index, WP:PROF guidelines state: "Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. They should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted, and they may depend substantially on the citation database used. They are also discipline-dependent; some disciplines have higher average citation rates than others." "Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable." He has met more than one to meet the NPROF(1).

  • Keep. The nominator claimed that the subject's work, which is what his notability is based on rather than his inside-leg measurement or his favourite colour, is not "a subject of much beyond book reviews". That is simply a statement that it is not a subject of anything beyond the best possible sources for establishing notability per WP:AUTHOR. We don't expect politicians to be the subject of sources that are not about politics, or musicians to be the subject of sources that are not about music, so why introduce this ridiculous bar to authors that sources about their writing should be excluded? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:49, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm seeing lots of routine sports coverage of her fights, but that's not enough to show notability. She doesn't meet any SNG criteria, so her notability depends on meeting the GNG. Thank you.

  • Delete as per nominator - GNG is not met.PRehse (talk) 08:55, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG. She was one of the leader of the Anti-Maidan movement. She's mentioned as one of the organizers by the Economist[4]. Here's another article referring to her as one of the Anti-Maidan organizers - it only lists three organizers, and she's one of the ones mentioned [5]. The article states that the leaders are "comprised of a medley of high-profile politicians, Cossacks, soldiers who have fought with pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, and patriotic personalities including minor celebrities". Seeing as she doesn't fit any of the other categories, it's pretty safe to assume that she is, at worst, a "minor celebrity" in Russia. Also referred to here as one of the celebrities linked to the Anti-Maidan movement. "Berezikova, one of the main Russian celebrities featured in the group, is a decorated sambo, boxing, and judo champion, as well as one of Russia's pioneers in WMMA." [6] She's a celebrity in Russia, one of Russia's pioneers in WMMA, and notable enough to be referenced in multiple articles as one of the leading organizers of the Anti-Maidan movement.

She's not even mentioned as a judoka at judoinside.com so there's no evidence of any widely recognized championship. Having said all that, I do believe there's enough to show she meets WP:GNG--and that's all that really matters. Papaursa (talk) 01:50, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear whether term exists

Besides the article having collected quite a bit of nonsense, none of the claims in it are references. But that's not even the main issue: my main problem is I cannot establish whether that term even exists. When searching ngram search there is no evidence for that term that predates this article. Also I couldn't find any web sources predating the usage of this term.

So if that is a proper term, then I will gladly retract my suggestion to delete the term. --denny vrandečić (talk) 20:37, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The best I could quickly find that isn't twitter or a wiki-mirror is this book, but it doesn't seem very serious and only uses the term in passing. It might be a real term, but it's very hard to find. Chris857 (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That book is from 2011, Wikipedia 'introduced' the term in 2006, so it could easily have come from Wikipedia. Is there any indication for the term before Wikipedia? --denny vrandečić (talk) 21:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - the term definitely exists, it was used when I was a kid in the 1990s for a cheap plastic football. However, as much as I like to be nostalgic, this is certainly non-notable. As most a redirect to Ball (association football) (as a possible search term) could be considered. GiantSnowman 09:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I submitted the article to AfD originally, but given the work that User:Mortee put into it, I have changed my mind and vote for keep. The article now cites sources, and we found a few mentions older than the Wikipedia article, so I am fine with keeping it. Thanks for the work! --denny vrandečić (talk) 00:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I'm really borderline on this one, so apologies for the long message. It's a very common object known by several names. That suggests notability to me, but because they're cheap, ubiquitous and generic there's not a lot to say about them, and little in-depth coverage accordingly—not enough to very clearly meet the GNG. I added sources to the article, the most substantial being [7]. Here are some passing mentions of "penny floater" just for reassurance about that particular term: [8], [9], [10], [11]. I don't see any need to find examples of use from pre-2006. It would be surprising for an obscure Wikipedia article to have introduced it into such natural usage and casual online text has a tendency to rot away over that timescale. (As an aside, the term "penny swerver", deleted from the article earlier, seems to also exist but be local to Sutton Coldfield [12]). There's enough here that it's better than a Wiktionary entry, and no other article yet mentions it so I wouldn't want to simply delete or redirect. I'd argue merge, but it's much too specific for ball and Football (ball) is quite solidly about balls used for professional sports and their near equivalents. Adding the penny floater detail there would be a little awkward imho. Still, that's definitely option B. For option A I vote keep as a low-value but harmless article about a common phenomenon.

Panned, minor book by otherwise notable person. Delete it and add a sentence to the main article. Anmccaff (talk) 19:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (as article creator), per WP:NB. The book "has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself", in this case one of the listed options, "reviews". These reviews, already referenced in the article, as far as I can tell, have not been sponsored in any way by the author or publisher. Additionally, the "other considerations" all fall in favor or neutral for the book. I will grant that there is not much material to be quickly located, but I believe there is more that could be written about this book. Besides, "too short" is not a reason in and of itself to delete. ⁓ Hello71 20:09, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say "too short" is a very strong reason to delete, if the same material all also belongs in the author's own page. Having the same info in two places is not a service to the reader. Anmccaff (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as Michig says: notability has been established here, and thus deletion (and its concomitant deletion of edit history) would be inappropriate. But that keep result does not preclude the interested editors from discussing a further editorial decision to merge the brief book coverage article back into the main bio article until such time as it has been expanded sufficiently to support a separate article about the book. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It passes WP:NBOOK and no-one has mentioned any policy-based reasons for deletion. A negative review (and I would call it only somewhat negative rather than a panning) of a book is is not a reason for deletion of the article and neither is being a short article. I would support merging the article (in its current state) if such a merger were proposed. Meters (talk) 22:51, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The author (User:Pyule/Paul Alan Yule) is also an established expert on the archaeology of Southern Arabia, so I don't see any cause for concern there (see WP:SELFCITE). In my experience excavated archaeological sites are almost always notable, because by nature they are the subject of multiple peer reviewed sources, albeit ones that may be difficult to find. I haven't been able to specifically verify the sources cited in the article, as it seems 2 of 3 aren't online and the other one is a 550 page thesis I don't fancy reading through, but in the absence of a more compelling deletion rationale I'm willing to take them on faith. My mistake. This source is available online (behind a paywall) and includes several pages on this site. – Joe (talk) 20:37, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi this is a source that was written by the creator of the article himself. GNG requires multiple reliable sources. I could find nothing else concerning this site that attests to its notability. This seems like a case refspam which specifically says "Variations of citation spamming include academics and scientists using their editing privileges primarily to add citations to their own work". Dom from Paris (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, the author is an established expert in the field, as well as the main investigator of this site, so there is no reason to discount papers written by him. That particular source was published in Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Wiley–Blackwell. There are more sources cited in the article, which are less easy to verify, but which I see no reason to question. – Joe (talk) 21:32, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the German language source (the only other that is not written by the article creator) there is no mention of this site unless it has another name in German. In a before search I found nothing on this subject. If it is notable should there not be more sources than those written by the person that discovered the site?

I hope to have corrected the points mentioned my critic regarding al-Negd, Oman: I entered an image of the coin which was found, the page number of my publication in Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, a separate citation by the National Museum, and the date when a team visited the site. I point out that the find is new, only made in 2014 and published in 2016. If this does not suffice the director of excavations, Khamis al-Asmi, was present and other witnesses, who can be contacted if further doubt exists. I am busy correcting other points (Lizq) which my critic has cavelled. I am grateful for your help.Azd0815 (talk) 08:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails the GNG, not having been covered in-depth by any reliable source at all, as far as I could determine. Only news coverage I found was a passing mention of its being used as a temporary practice ground by Chonburi F.C. while their home stadium was being rebuilt in 2009.[15] Other Google results are forum posts, mostly asking for directions as it appears to be really obscure. For context, this post contains some photos.[16] It's more of a field with a concrete stand rather than an actual stadium.

In my edit summary, I wrote “You can ask for reference and fact it s no longer used doesn’t mean it isn’t notable.” For example, the first two Yankee Stafiums don’t even exist anymore yet they are still notable. The reference situation discussed in earlier comments is another story. It is one thing to ask for references and another to not be able to find any. I didn’t look because even if I found one, I don’t feel comfortable enough with the subject to know what was relevant and what wasn’t. So I left it to others to look into. I am neutral on the subject of whether or not to delete but based on the reasons given in the prod, I felt it deserved a shot to be improved.

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

I put a proposed deletion (PROD) on this article, giving my reason as "There is no evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Some of the references aren't even about this film, others are not significant coverage." The creator of the article, Goodbadnugly, removed the proposal, giving as reason that the film derives notability from its connection to the earlier film Plan 9 from Outer Space of which it is a take-off, and from "the presence of notable internet personalities". As anyone familiar with Wikipedia's notability standards will know, a subject is not considered to be notable because of association with other notable subjects, and must have evidence of notability in its own right.

My reason for this nomination is the same as the reason for my earlier deletion proposal, but here is a more detailed account of why the cited sources don't do it. Out of the eight sources cited, four are about the earlier film, and don't even mention this one. Not only are the other four not significant coverage, but also none of them is an independent reliable source either. Two of them are at www.horrorsociety.com, which not only publishes user-submitted content, but also says "You want to promote your movie, do it here." Another source is at letterboxd.com, which reproduces film data from TMDb (www.themoviedb.org); TMDb consists entirely of user-submitted content, and appears to be if anything an even less reliable source than IMDb, of which it is clearly an imitation. That leaves just one more cited source, which is at plan9movie.com, and I think the URL says it all.

  • OK, so I looked at the new sources you have added. I started describing each of them, as follows.
(1) An interview with the director on a web site which calls itself a "fanzine", and that looks like exactly what it is. (2) A brief article which mentions the original film and a "biopic" about the director of this one, but devotes just two short sentences to this film itself. (3) A page about the film which includes a link to book to see the film, and gives some information about it, much of it quoted from the director, on a web site which "allows arts community partners to enter events". (4) A page on a local news site for a town (Roanoke, VA) announcing that the film is being shown in that town. (5) A fairly brief note about the film on a web site called "cinemablend" I have been unable to find anything significant about that web site, apart from its own "about" page, which is full of promotional hype, such as telling me that "its [sic] the only place to catch up on the pop culture [I'm] already excited about", but doesn't give me much actual information. Even if the web site is a significant reliable source (which it may be, but I'm not convinced) its brief page about this film is not substantial coverage.

At this point I decided I couldn't afford the amount of time it would take to write similar individual accounts of the rest of the sources, but none of them looked better than those I have described above. All credit to Tokyogirl79 for putting in the work to find a number of sources to add, but as far as the quality, rather than the quantity, of sources is concerned, if that is the best that an experienced and reliable editor such as Tokyogirl79 can manage to find, them I'm afraid it strengthens, rather than weakens, my impression that the film does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

  • The SF Signal is pretty well thought of - it has actually won three Hugo Awards for its work, It's generally seen as reliable. It's an interview, so that's mostly just there for people to pull from in the future if they want to expand it. The main sourcing that I'm looking at as far as notability goes are the reviews in Screen Anarchy (formerly Twitch Film) and Dread Central, as they're both considered to be reliable sources as far as film and horror content are concerned. Dread Central's actually a fairly major website in the horror world, along side Fangoria and Bloody Disgusting. io9's article is decently sized and they're also generally seen as a reliable source as well despite the Gawker affiliation. Scream magazine looks OK - it's more of a UK thing, but it's sold on some US shelves (some light coverage of that here). In any case, the two reviews should be enough to establish notability. The local coverage is greatly depreciated on Wikipedia, so that's more something I added so that people could flesh out the article later if they wanted - they're more likely to do it with the sources if they're already on the article. As far as Cinema Blend goes, it's generally seen as reliable on here. It's used as a source in some academic texts like thi, this, this, and this, for example. It's certainly not the best possible source, but it's an OK one. I think that there's enough notability here for it to barely squeak by. Not the greatest amount, but just barely enough. (However also not so much that I'd lose a ton of sleep if it wasn't kept.) Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 19:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Being a local radio personality on a single-market local radio station is not an automatic notability freebie, but this isn't referenced to anything like enough reliable source coverage about him to pass WP:GNG: the sources here are a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself, a blurb about a tangentially related event sponsored by the radio station which completely fails to mention Mwesigwa's name at all in conjunction with it, and an entertainment blog whose first section in its header bar is titled "Celebrity gossip" (hence not a reliable source). None of these are notability-assisting sources at all. Bearcat (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Saying that the Prose barely makes sense is an overstatement. It's clear this was written by somebody who is not a native English speaker, but that's not a reason to delete. The diction and grammar can be cleaned up. The real problem is that he really does appear to be non-notable. My own searching failed to come up with anything. I searched for him by name, and also searched for the two companies he's associated with. All the sources listed in the article are in Indonesian, so I had to rely on the auto-translations. That's an admittedly poor way to evaluate something, but from what I can see, there's nothing in the sources provided which helps meet WP:GNG. If somebody could point out some better sources, and provide good English translations, that would be helpful. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:23, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tentatively keep and improve. As per WP:NOTCATALOG, lists of creative works are permitted if they aren't simple lists and if they're written in an encyclopedic manner. Although Synapse is merely a film distributor, they include original bonus content with each release, which I would argue warrants its own list (or, at the very least, a mention). In its current state, the list is quite simple and unencyclopedic, but could be worked on to meet list standards. I've made this a tentative keep because the company itself isn't tremendously notable (although it was NfD in the past and kept), which might make proper sourcing and encyclopedic writing a challenge.

    • Comment My apologies, it's a dictionary entry with one sentence worth of encyclopedic information, which is just about all it'll ever have. Not every design of cup is notable. Anyway, I'm well aware of MAD, which does not in fact say that merger and deletion are incompatible, just that they should be sparingly used. Since the content to be merged was written by a single author (a bot has no IP rights, I added an AfD and you added a picture – neither of which are to be merged in), and the only link *to* this article is *from* the article it should be merged into, there's no problem simply mentioning the author of the content in the edit history and deleting the article.--Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 15:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The coverage is State level and adequate. Here's a CBS article from Denver. There is also Colorado Public Radio profile already in the article. Here is a largish Associated Press profile article. AP is not local coverage, it is globally syndicated. There are weaker items like Hackaday out there as well. Notability met. Some of the primary sources should be removed though. Also note his former name is "Kagen Schaefer". 198.58.161.137 (talk) 09:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment J04n from what I can see the Denver CBS video is still local coverage, and the AP video doesn't seem to have been taken up by any media outlets. I may be wrong but it seems that AP produces and collects stories and then sells them on and this story doesn't seem to have been taken up. Dom from Paris (talk) 14:25, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus on whether internationally-known but NY-based sources The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal - yes, Wall Street is in NYC - count as local coverage or not, and thus whether or not they count towards notability. ansh666 08:02, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relatively new restaurant with two locations that may not exist in a year or two - 80% of NYC restaurants fail in the first five years. Most of the article just summarizes their menu and tries to make it "interesting" which is routine business differentiation content. Refs are routine reviews in local papers, so this fails CORPDEPTH. Not encyclopedic at this point. Jytdog (talk) 17:44, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep lots of substantial coverage of this institution. Whether it will exist in the future is irrelevant. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:26, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not a valid argument. The refs are just reviews in the local paper about a new restaurant. This does not establish notability and the content is basically an advertisement. Jytdog (talk) 16:48, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, the coverage is substantive. Meets the general notabiloty guideline. Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:01, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Village Voice is pulitzer prize winning digital media, not a local paper. The NYTimes is a national paper, and New Yorker magazine is certainly not a local paper. The reviews are full-length reviews, not brief listings. I didn't write it as an advertisment, it links to a lot of our other articles. Most promotional articles are orphans and do not develop links. It is part of New York's culture and has parent articles including Delicatessen. I didn't use any marketing language and I have no connection to the business - I have never even eaten there, but I'm interested in food-related articles in general and they got a lot of significant writeups (especially for butchering live eels and smoking them in the back). Seraphim System (talk) 23:08, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as meets WP:AUD. The Village Voice, Gothamist, Tribeca Citizen and Eater NY can all be characterized as local, but the New York Times is clearly national in scope, as is the New Yorker. There are sufficient mentions to meet WP:SIGCOV. Meets WP:GNG. Geoff | Who, me? 18:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree with Jytdog that the cited sources don't establish notability. Sources like New York Times, Village Voice, and New Yorker, can generally be considered as national media, but they include local-oriented content like routine restaurant reviews. Counting those as GNG sources would make just about every new restaurant in NYC notable. Toohool (talk) 00:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
These are full-length reviews published in the Food section, which is a completely separate section from the routine reviews in the "NY/Region" section (here is an example from the local section) - though this would still be considered regional as it covers NJ as well [24] Seraphim System (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be non-notable. The group he runs doesn't have a website, he doesn't even have anything attributed to him on IMDB, and three of the four citations are profiles (one for a dating website). Under WP:AUTHOR, he doesn't meet any of the criteria, and he doesn't meet criteria under any other criteria, either. Finally, this appears to be a commercial piece (albeit poorly written and phrased), with the writer saying that the photo was sent to him. It's not quite WP:SPEEDY (under A7, although you also could argue it under G11) but I'd argue that it's close.

  • Weak keep I am not 100% convinced of the notability of the person independently of the organisation. If the content about the org is removed, and the sources that are primarily about the organisation (only mentioning Singh's name) are discounted, what remains is a bit thin. I still think it's just on the "keep" side of the notability threshold, but I could be convinced that it is not. If deleted, it should be merged and redirected to Middle Finger Protests. --bonadea contributions talk 13:36, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: One assessment of sources in the article. It's a mixed bag: there's some borderline-significant, but pretty redundant, coverage from presumably reliable sources with named authors, though their editorial standards are not readily checked. A Latin American editor may be able to speak to the reliability of the Spanish-language sources, but on balance, the topic probably weakly meets GNG. —swpbT go beyond 20:31, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Thank you all for the thorough review of sources and reliability. As of now, there are 3 sources that are have been concluded as reliable enough to meet GNG requirements. I would argue that the TheNextWeb source meet those same standards. The reporter, Anna Heim, (https://thenextweb.com/author/annaheim/) while an independent writer now, has 100+ news articles on TNW and published several times a week from 2011 to 2015. —jpczcayaT 17:34, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Crunchbase is basically a database sort of thing - not independant. An interview is not useful as it is not independent; hongkat is a blog; "techcruch 3" only has what the company says about themselves. No good sources. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete also Swpb, for future reference, Tech Crunch is not considered an independent or reliable source for purposes of notability. It is routinely ignored in every deletion discussion I've been in for at least the past year. I haven't really seen any argumentation in favour of counting it since late 2016. Same with Crunchbase. The interview in a podcast is a non-independent primary source as well. Some of the other sources you have checked off as meeting the GNG also appear to be non-reliable or user generated. Anyway, from review of that table, I see nothing that meets the GNG. BEFORE doesn't yield anything else. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • To editor TonyBallioni: Wikipedia:Interviews disagrees with that as a blanket rule. I don't know for a fact that this interviewer is independent, but there's no evidence they're not, and that's where the burden lies – unless you can show that this interviewer has a specific conflict relating to this subject, they are assumed independent. As for TC, could you point to the discussion about its use toward GNG? I don't put much weight in statements of the form "we just don't trust this source" with no justification given, and I don't think a closer would either. —swpbT go beyond 19:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Swpb: unfortunately, the notability guideline disagrees with you. It requires secondary sourcing, which interviews are definitionally not. The essay you site does not have the force of policy, and even if it did WP:ORGIND would apply. Interviews have zero weight in AfD discussions, unless they are subject to coverage in reliable secondary sourcing afterwards (the interview of Sarah Palin by Katie Couric being an example of when an interview leads to secondary coverage). Any active AfD closer will know that TC is ignored here. I don't think there have been any formal discussions on it, but even the most radical inclusionists have stopped trying to pretend it is anything other than recycled press releases. Basically, your analysis of the sourcing in the table above is far outside the mainstream of most AfD sourcing analysis. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • To editor TonyBallioni: Repeating things doesn't make them true – the letter of WP:ORGIND does not support you. Your position on interviews is simply not the consensus position. If it were, you'd be able to show it. Unless this interview was produced by or with the funding of this company, it is independent. Reliability could be questioned, but that's a separate criterion. No one is taking your "delete" vote away from you, but you do not get to make up your own guidance and insist we're all bound by it. —swpbT go beyond 19:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Sorry, it is the consensus position, and that (non-policy) essay does in fact support it, especially for this sourcing. The text of ORGIND does actually support what I say: it does not require it to be funded, it excludes any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it. That quite clearly includes interviews (even though they are spoken). Your views are far outside of the normal consensus here, and the closer should ignore them. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
            • You have interesting definitions of "written by" and "quite clearly", but more importantly, waaay too much emotional investment in this right now. I'm not dying on this hill – everyone can read the guidelines for themselves. Take the hint: go outside, and slow your righteousness roll by about 47 notches. —swpbT go beyond 20:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • No need to discuss me personally. I'm not emotionally invested in this at all. I only pinged you because you seemed unsure of your analysis and I was trying to let you know how the sourcing is typically viewed in AfDs (which along with the Wikimodel are organic, so have no need for an RfC when something simply becomes the usual practice). If you don't appreciate this, I'm sorry. The closer is free to review as they see fit, but interviews, recycled press releases, and the like don't count towards our inclusion criteria, where in practice we require intellectual independence, not just organizational. The sourcing here fails that, so the article should be deleted. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                • I like that you can't imagine you could be talking to someone with comparable experience to you. No, this must be my first AfD, and you're here to do me a favor. Right. —swpbT go beyond 20:40, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you will please read: there's no claim that it is a historic site. It' merely implied that having a couple of governors buried there makes it historic, which by our standards isn't true.

Yes, it's notable as the resting place pf these historic figures. Just as ghost towns and other landmarks are notable. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. Ghost towns are notable because people find ghost towns as a class notable, and they write books on them which tend to talk some about every last ghost town in the country if they can get info. Burials are incidental mentions in bios, but if you can't say something about the cemetery as a whole, if you can't get people to write articles or chapters in books or whatever, then they aren't notable. There are cemeteries which do get such treatment, but this isn't one of them. Mangoe (talk) 00:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Many artificial geographical features may be mentioned in plenty of reliable sources, but they may not necessarily be notable. The inclusion of a man-made geographical feature on maps or in directories is insufficient to establish topic notability.

  • Artificial geographical features that are officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level and which verifiableinformation beyond simple statistics are available are presumed to be notable." Neither of these criterion are met.
Additionally, per Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#No inherited notability

Geographical features must be notable on their own merits. They cannot inherit the notability of organizations, people, or events.

That works out to an argument that hardly any cemeteries are notable. There are cases where cemeteries get coverage in their own right (e.g. Rock Creek Cemetery in DC) but simply saying that someone is buried in one is an incidental mention, and it's a safe bet that most such mentions in WP come from Find-a-Grave anyway, which is essentially another wiki.

I do not believe this YouTube couple/family are notable enough to be on Wikipedia. I see the sources in the article, however, most of them are about single events that happened with this family that got them notoriety (two scandals, an alleged miscarriage, a few viral videos). Not to mention it seems awfully promotional, with statements such as "They have over 100 videos that exceed one million views, eight videos with over 10 million views, and three that have over 20 million views" and also later on in the intro "The video was an instant success and went viral in march of 2014", which seems like it was written by someone trying to paint them in a good light instead of in a neutral way. Also, plenty of the sources are from either Facebook, YouTube, or a photography website of the article creator. In short, I don't see how they are any more notable than other family vloggers who document their lives on YouTube. This family just happened to have a few controversies, but nothing that really makes them stand out. Just wanted to add one more thing, I went and checked and the creator of this article is Matthew T Rader, who is related to Samuel Rader (see this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/infinite-magic/3604255935), and Matthew made no indication of being connected to Samuel while creating this article. Andise1 (talk) 22:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]


I haven't seen anything on Wikipedia that says people related to the subject can't create/contribute to their articles. It is not a promotional piece at all. It actually highlights a lot of negative press they received as well, the information is very unbiased. The information about video views was inspired by Wikipedia articles about other YouTubers, if that is considered superfluous then remove it. I think your reasons for deletion are not fair at all. Their video of them lip syncing in the car went incredibly viral and started the whole trend of making videos of lip syncing while driving. Prior to them, such video were not common at all. This family has been discussed and talked about in just about every major media outlet on numerous occasions. They were also very connected to the Ashley Madison hack scandal.

If you look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_YouTubers, you will many many YouTubers that far less well known than they are with much less subscribers. I looked through just the A's and found YouTubers with less than a million subscribers and virtually no media attention whatsoever. So according to that list, they are absolutely notable enough to be on wikipedia. Actually, they should be added to that list. Matthew T Rader 23:28, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

A couple more notable things about them have been published in well known magazines online. The Verge in June 2017 said Sam caused one of the five biggest YouTube scandals of all time.[1]. That's pretty notable. And they were also considered the 3rd most influential YouTubers of 2015 by The Daily Dot in December 2015[2]. Those are two very notable things about them, that many, if not the vast majority, of other YouTubers with pages on Wikipedia cannot claim. Matthew T Rader 23:49, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. To respond to the article creator's point about creating or contributing to articles to which they are connected, have a look at WP:COI. It is, at best, generally a bad idea, and usually held to be a good idea if you indicate your connection to the subject somewhere early on in the piece. Commonsense would also dictate similarly, I should have hoped. My rationale for the weak delete is that the vast majority of the sources here are YouTube videos themselves and the like. Happy to revise this opinion if the non-social-media material is shown to be sufficiently reliably-sourced. Claims of "starting a trend" are always difficult to support in this day and age, but if they can be, then there's a point in their favour. WP:OTHERSTUFF-related arguments to keep are neither here nor there, particularly when YouTubers and other such famous-for-being-famous people are involved. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:52, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – This is obviously notable, so it could be referenced.

I just reread the COI rules, I unintentionally missed those suggestions. I don't think a deletion is necessary, but instead have someone edit it to remove any appearance of a bias. This article was not written at their request. How can I include in the article my relationship with the subject? Please look at all of the non-social media sources, many of the sources are from very reputable News and Magazine sources. I was a wikipedia contributor before they became well known. Matthew T Rader 04:38, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

There's no need to include your connection in the article (since it's not "your" article, in that anyone and every can edit it, that would be counterproductive). As per this part of the link I referred you to earlier, there are a couple of simple steps you can take, and I'm sure that - in the event that the article is kept, or if it can indeed be re-written to get over the assorted difficulties it has at present - someone or several someones will edit it accordingly anyway. The fact that you created it doesn't mean it can't be kept, either, so while conflict of interest is important and there are those sort of "arm's length" things to do as per earlier, I wouldn't be concerned about the article being deleted purely for that reason. Having had another look at the non-social-media sources - my initial look at them was earlyish in the morning, so it never hurts to have a more thorough look later in the day with a working brain - my earlier opinion is confirmed. The couple read as having been the online equivalent of a nine-day wonder, albeit a nine-day wonder caught up in the more notable Ashley Madison hack.

How can someone, or a family, that has been watch by people all over the world over 750 million[3] times not be notable? Matthew T Rader 13:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete While I agree that this family does have a presence as vloggers I am not satisfied that they have any more presence than others in the same genre. I believe that the only major thing that could save this article is the fact that they have won an award from a major organization such as the Artists Music Guild. However, even with that Mr. Rader sourced that award back to a wikipedia source which would be improper. Sourcing is clearly outlined at WP:Sourcing. While I can be persuaded to change my stand on the delete, at this moment several things would have to be changed within the article and more sourcing to prove notability would need to be established. If I may make a suggestion, it would be this. I would research other articles found here regarding video bloggers and see how they are written and formatted so that should this article survive this WP:AFD it might not continue to find itself in the line of fire.

  • Delete. This seems to be a PROMO article from the early days of WP. The tone is PROMO, pic is paid-for upload, article written by anon SPA, etc. She has authored lots of books/videos in the "self-help" and "business-help" sectors, but holdings are low hundreds or less, which I don't think is especially high for these pop sectors of publishing. Most of the sources seem to be web pages. Seems to have flown under the radar for a long time as a result of low page views and being an ORPHAN. Agricola44 (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Searching for "executive coach" has led to several AfD nominations. No doubt there are other job descriptions one could search for that should be equally rich seams. Edwardx (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I worked on this last night and would appreciate Agricola44's input, too. I took out a lot of the puff and the poor citations and I added reviews from several reliable sources about her books. In addition, she was an important figure behind the success of Dr. Phil's show. Passes CREATIVE for reviews of her works and probably GNG for her high-profile roles in several orgs. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any significant coverage of this show in reliable resources. The ones presented are from their own website, plus some random picture of a Burger King promotion that looks like it could have easily been scrapbooked together. I removed stuff related to 4Kids as it implied Alfred Kahn was the writer of the show. No French wikipedia equivalent. Article was created by a user who is currently blocked.

Does not meet musical notability as a project that hasn't yet released anything.

See notability is not inherited from the musicians; the notability of the musicians only means that we go to AFD rather than to no credible claim of musical significance. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nothing here passes WP:NMUSIC — a concert tour has to be supported by reliable source coverage about the tour, not just asserted, to count as a notable tour that makes its artist wikipediable, and nothing else stated here even attempts to pass any other criterion at all — and this isn't reliably sourced. The only properly footnoted reference is a press release on a concert listings platform, not a reliable or notability-assisting media outlet, and the only other source here is a BBC News article, linkfarmed as an external link rather than being cited as a footnote, which isn't about Jody Raffoul, but merely mentions him in passing within an article about the general economic travails of Detroit. So that's not a source that actually demonstrates Raffoul's notability either. I also think either I might be having a stroke or somebody needs to go hunting, because I could literally swear that we've seen an article come to AFD before about a musician from Detroit whose main notability claim was getting to open for Bon Jovi. Bearcat (talk) 18:35, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - most of the work has already been done by @Bearcat: above and I am in complete agreement. I will add that beyond Bon Jovi, I can find no evidence that this musician really opened for all of the big names listed in the article's first paragraph; if any of it is true he probably opened for singular local gigs when those artists passed through his town. He might be notable in his local area, but otherwise he has not gotten too far beyond the Bon Jovi contest. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The attention for the award (not an award that meets notability standards, btw) is not significant per WP:MUSIC. Nothing else can be verified with anything other than press releases, self downloads and minor coverage. Even authorship and maintenance of this page seems to be COI promotional from various SPA and IP addresses. Other awards are local and not wikipedia notable. The film "Grabtime" appears to be minor and exists only on self-download sites. The other film, "Annabel and Bear" does not mention his contribution in the IMDB page credits. And while social media followers are discounted by WP because of unreliability in their authenticity, it is revealing his numbers are comparatively small. Overall, the subject appears to be a successful local music scene journeyman, but nothing beyond run-of-the-mill attention and fails WP:MUSIC per a lack of significant independent 3rd party coverage.
