Non-notable comic book, fails WP:GNG. Currently part of a move debate over whether to further disambiguate the very notable Medal of Honor (series) due to the existence of this article.

Subjects lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. The Pulitzer prize nomination is dubious (no mention at Pulitzer.org), I've found no evidence of the awards from city and state organizations, and even if verifiable, they may not be enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO (note that the Golden Quill Award mentioned in this article is not the Shakespearean award of the same name). Also note, the article creator has a history of paid article editing, although it is undetermined whether the same applies here. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (with impunity). The good news is that we do not need to TNT this awful article --or do something about the hoax Pulitzer nomination-- as the web holds basically zero mention of this person. And I mean nothing.

  • Delete My search found nothing to indicate she meets WP:GNG. Her Golden Quill awards/nominations are local awards from the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania's annual competition with paid entries in one of 103 categories (as of 2017). The Pulitzer Prize nomination may be valid, but it is not an indicator of notability since journalism entries "may be made by any individual based on material coming from a United States newspaper, magazine or news site"[1].

XOR'easter (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. WP:NAFL doesn't seem to include the AFL International Cup. But we have enough in-depth coverage of her and her work for WP:GNG, and enough hits for the title of both of her books and "syllabus" to convince me that they are widely-used enough for WP:PROF#C4. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:05, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. They have been interviewed in Forbes, but that alone is not enough. Otherwise I see mainly mentions or, as Philafrenzy mentioned, self-published (or, at least, non-secondary) sources. Article in its current state also reads like a C.V. Overall, I just don't see enough for it to pass GNG at this time. If someone comes up with new information that I didn't find/see, which presents a good case as to why the article should be kept, I am more than willing to reconsider my !vote/position, just {{ping}} me. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:37, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced except for existence of his memoirs; created by an editor later blocked for disruptive editing; factual accuracy very questionable - see talk page. Eg he was not MP for West Derbyshire, another Wakefield was their MP 1950-1962. This article is too unreliable to be an asset to the encyclopedia.

  • Comment. I, too, have been looking at Sir Edward Wakefield, 1st Baronet, which is also horribly unsourced. There's an impossible deal of overlap in their the biographies. Both of these individuals may be notable - G.E.C Wakefield's book is real enough - but there's some absolute nonsense in these articles. Fiachra10003 (talk) 03:55, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - there are enough sources to establish that GECW was Chief Minister of J&K = notable. It's clear that the original editor also threw in stuff on other Wakefields, but what's now left seems solid. GECW occurs on various genealogical sites with dates 1873 - 1944 (b&d in India, not London) but I've not added this as I'm not sure to what extent Wikipedia accepts these as sources. In any event I've removed the dates 1883-1950 as unsubstantiated, apparently invented to allow for events imported from careers of other Wakefields.Eustachiusz (talk) 11:27, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as proposer - I can't formally withdraw it as there was originally support for deletion. The article is now much improved and encyclopedia-worthy after the splendid work of @Fiachra10003: and @Eustachiusz: - thanks.

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

This article seems to have a great deal of WP:SYNTH in it as well as WP:OR. It seems pretty inaccurate, on one hand claiming that all of the Matrix takes place in one "mega city" but on the other admitting that the movies and other media make clear references to it being a simulation of modern Earth. The interview it cites as "proof" merely says that the visual design "looks like everything you’ve ever seen, but it’s from nowhere", which means it's supposed to represent an anonymous city, but not within the actual canon of the series, only to the viewer themselves.

There's a possibility that an article could be created for The Matrix (virtual world) or Universe of The Matrix but this doesn't seem like that article, it would need a total rewrite to not be a mess.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No direct evidence of notability. No sign that this is any more than just a run of the mill disappearance case (about 2,300 Americans are reported missing each day). References are mostly typical news reports and routine coverage, no indication of any lasting impact, such as a change in a law or procedure, which is usually used as a yardstick for notability in these cases. Very tragic, but tragically not that uncommon. (See also, WP:MURDEROF) Bneu2013 (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NBC did an article on her just last year. Her disappearance was featured in an episode of the TV show Find Our Missing. Lonehexagon (talk)

It easy to say that there's been recent coverage, but you have to look at the context of that coverage. It's routine, its not as if there has been new developments in the case or its considered the crime of century.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - clearly of some significance in her field, but not enough to have accumulated significant coverage in reliable sources. Mattyjohn (talk) 00:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Added several additional sources. She has a profile on Bloomberg and has been written about internationally for her work as CFO of Black & Veatch. She has done projects in Africa as part of the Obama administration. She was also the first black woman to serve as chair of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. She has been noted as an influential person in several publications both online and in print. Easily satisfies WP:GNG ("has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). Lonehexagon (talk) 05:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the Bloomberg bio isn't the type of thing I would consider as evidence of notability; it's too much of an unfiltered directory.

  • Delete. Having a profile in Bloomberg's S&P Global directory is not evidence of notability in and of itself — it's the corporate equivalent of "I'm notable because I'm on LinkedIn", which is a total non-starter of a notability argument — and not nearly enough of the other sources here are substantively about her to get her over WP:GNG in lieu.

Keep. Reasons a) The world is more than just cyber. ULCO may be somewhat weak online, but is strong offline; b) >21.000 followers on facebook alone are quite some weight; c) We should be careful not to discriminate against religious groups which have been in existence for decades, even since before we were born, only because they are partly old fashioned and more “at home” in real life than in cyber; d) As far as I can see the article is not commercially oriented, neither is it violating any other rules; e) Parts of ULCO (Arnulf’s) seem to be tuition-free and non-commercial in their nature. So this indicates even more that this whole thing is a notable church seminary and alumni group and not just a little fun issue. 213.184.122.100 (talk) 12:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
An organization being around for decades DOES NOT equal notability. They need significant national media coverage at a minimum. Me-123567-Me (talk) 19:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Father Rahim, the Dean of ULCO’s Arnulf Seminary is not unknown, as is the church. See here or here or here. They are a super liberal church, having been around for decades with ULCO having >21.000 followers online and the church behind >1.2 mio. followers.

Those articles look self-authored. Show me independent news sources. Major news publications such as the Washington Post or the New York Times. Me-123567-Me (talk) 22:10, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. An institution of higher education, and we have normally considered all such to warrant an article in WP, unless there is some special reason. (The school does not award formal degrees, but its courses lead to ecclesiastical ordination by its church, which is more or less the equivalent.) It is certainly true that there are cases where a separate article is justified, but the amount of information is so little that a combination article is preferred according to one of the more realistic provisions of WP:N, and we use this to avoid making articles for individual components of most schools except the largest and most famous, because there is generally little to say except directory information. But this is not such a division, but rather the educational institution under control of the church, just as other religion-bases tertiary institutions are of their churches. I am unclear why they label themselves as an alumni group--it's s true we do nto ordinarily make articles for alumni associations, but this seems to be a combination pf an alumni association and a college. It's well known that the Universal Life Church does things a little less formally than most such US organizations. This is not e reason for deleting, but for being flexible and keeping. DGG ( talk ) 23:44, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This organization is not the Universal Life Church, the notability of which is not in doubt (weather it structurally makes sense to recognize it as existing in a substantial way has of couse gone through much debate). The school guidelines exist for schools that actually exist and run standard courses. It is not a free grant of notability to every diploma mill on the face of the planet, and this is a diploma mill par excelence.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UTC)

  • Withdrawal due to defamatory statements in this discussion: I am the author of this article. To call an alumni group and a network of schools which only accepts postgrad university students for the most part tuition-free (Arnulf’s) a “diploma mill par excelence” is a disgrace and defamation in its worst form, especially when the slander obviously comes from a Mormon, a faith which is in itself under discussion due to different issues. Yes, there are ULC-affiliated groups (the ULC itself is a notable church, even if you dislike its unconventional approach) to whom this may apply. Here, this is not one of them. To call this very institution of all things names is shocking and makes me ask for deletion due to malicious attacks instead of a real neutral discussion. I will delete the content as far as I can as a user and ask someone who is in charge to delete the article from Wikipedia immediately. ULCO and Arnulf’s are too precious to have their dignity hurt in such a digusting and sad way. I don’t want to see this end in a lible action in court due to traducement of a religious organization. 213.184.122.101 (talk) 09:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as hard as it is to follow what this article is about ("It's the ULCO", "It's the ULC Theological Seminary", "It's an alumni group", "it's a school", "Arnwulf is a spin-off of the ULC", "ULCO is for tuition-based matters, but Arnulf's is tuition-free, but criticism of ULCO is somehow an attack on Arnwulf. Online sources are linking ULCO and Arnwulf to specifically Christian matters, ULC is not a specifically Christian church. What online references were in the article before the attempted blanking by an IP user purporting to be the article creator do not mention ULCO, and are merely about the ULC (and the use of the offline references suggest they would be similarly focused on the ULC.) We're lacking any real sign that there's anything there. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I reverted the blanking. Me-123567-Me (talk) 17:08, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • DELETE IMMEDIATELY. It was no blanking but a radical shortening. As far as I was told, it is my right to use Wikipedia without an account. I am the author of the article, and having been experiencing the vicious discussion style here I kindly request for an immediate deletion of the article. I am not familiar with Wikipedia but would never have expected that criminal proceedings due to traducement of a religious organization could be the result of a discussion here, especially since some truly faithful people who asked me to help them with the Wikipedia do not feel amused at all about being ridiculed. Don’t let us forget that we discuss a matter of faith where words can insult people badly. So there was never a blanking, just a radical shortening, and as the author I request an immediate deletion of the topic. It was my naive idea to believe that the topic would be welcome here. Now I learnt that the opposite is the fact. So, please set an end to this nonsense before more religious feelings get hurt and delete the article immediately, please. Be blessed. 190.106.130.39 (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are free to use Wikipedia without an account, but when you claim to be the account user who created this article, we don't have a way to verify that unless you log into the account to make your comments. As for deletion of the article, had you blanked it or otherwise asked for deletion before this discussion had been started, it might have qualified for a speedy deletion... but given that this discussion has been started and some reasonable keep votes have been made, it cannot be speedy deleted on this basis. You seem to be suggesting legal threats, please read our "no legal threats" policy. Some of the threats you claim are ludicrous, there's no way even if inaccurate that such a statement would be a criminal concern, for a US-based contributor on a US projects - and anyway, deleting the article would not delete this discussion page, where the supposedly offending remark is, and thus do nothing to avoid any lawsuit or charges. Any concern you have about "religious feelings" might be aimed best at whoever it was who went after an editor for being LDS. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:53, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Sorry IP, but as everyone can see I am the author of the entry which is being discussed here. Of course I believe this institution is reputable and notable. Ok, the world of these churches is somewhat confusing, especially since the ULC has an abundance of spin-offs, officialy accepted ones, tolerated ones and completely “independent” ones. Now why did I write this entry? Simply because I know, thanks to a family member (who is a journalist), what is going on there. Yes, the ULC is a somewhat weird church. But it is a church which has been allowed to hold course studies, since 1974 even with a legal blessing. Some other spin-offs fought similar legal fights and hold the same right - and then there are those who are only into making money. Now, what is ULCO Seminary (U.S.A.)? It is a hub. A meeting point for students, postgrads and alumni of ULC (and legally clean) ULC spin-offs. A place where the “real” students of valid course studies meet and where courses, meetings etc. are coordinated and organized, all non-commercially and self-organized. ULCO Seminary (U.S.A.) is therefore not one school or one education provider, it is a self-governed umbrella organization which brings all respectable students from within the chaotic ULC world together. This is also the reason why their external picture a little bit confusing and there is not much coordination or money to provide a glamorous facade. However, more than 20.000 people on their facebook site are an indication that they are not what we could call small. They also keep their house clean and cast everybody out who is just a “title hunter” with one of the more shady ULC spin-offs. Some of the reputable spin-offs are even tuition-free and grant access only to people with a university degree. Again, the ULC-world is colorful, and ULCO Seminary (U.S.A.) is “home” of the reputable students at the notable ULC and/or its reputable spin-offs. So the whole endeavor is reputable. If it is notable according to the Wikipedia rules is another question. I would say yes. Whatever the IP wanted to achieve here is a little bit confusing. But one thing is correct; we are talking here about faith issues, so let us be careful with the words we use. Even a weird church like the ULC and its more serious spin-offs are churches. We should keep this in mind. Klaus Bells (talk) 01:54, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Universal Life Church I can't find anything more about them than directory information in books, and the straight GHits aren't exactly an improvement, even though I left off the "(USA)".

  • Delete. Evidently an alumni group which is neither notable nor of public interest. Offering no detectable services, to find in directories and social media with just some internal/private talk, only not notable matters are being posted. Merging with or redirecting to Universal Life Church seems to be inappropriate as this alumni thing has no reputable/reliable ties to this freak church. 185.32.222.13 (talk) 19:58, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

            • Except you didn't "notice an editor's behaviour"; rather, you made up some crap about an editor, seemingly because you didn't like being asked a reasonable question. As the editor about whom you made up said crap, I can tell you it's not appreciated. What would be appreciated, however, is if you answered the question about what you found in the sources you are using as the basis for your WP:GNG claim, so that I can reconsider my !vote if there is real reason to. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:12, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • (edit conflict)"I notice you have not challenged any of the non-policy-based !votes, when it's for delete." is a glorious combination of irrelevant, snide, and false (check my post of 21:53, 3 March 2018.) The two sources you list appear in the article to be referencing information about Arnulf, not about ULCO. Have you checked those sources to see if they cover ULCO? I just tried using Google Book Search to check that book, and it got no results, but Google Book Search is spotty. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is about schools, not alumni organizations. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:55, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd appreciate you clarifying what the subject actually is, as I'm not 100% sure at this point. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:38, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, please. Excuse my English, please. I use the deepl. com translator because my English is not so good. But I can help to clarify the situation, because I am a ULCO alumni myself and have learned that a discussion is going on here. I studied at a seminar of a Christian secession of the ULC in my native language (subsoil because where I am, apostasy is severely punished) and I am still happy with it today. But of course there are also funny ULC churches. That's why there is an alumni group for seriouly ULC alumni, where you can still exchange information worldwide, even when your education is over. ULCO does not belong either to ULC or to any of its separate churches. It is an alumni organization of volunteers for volunteers. Now I don't know if this is relevant for Wikipedia. But our mailing list alone is huge and on Facebook we Alumni and friends are as far as I know, with about 22000 people. I don't know if this is venerable enough for Wikipedia. But as an affected person, I can say that I was always well treated, satisfied and happy to remember my seminars. This is how others do it and that's why there is the Alumni Group ULCO. But it's all self-organized and thus slightly chaoticly. My wish would be that we are not mistaken for lunatics just because we have learned something from churches schools that are not mainline churches. We are also people and freedom of faith applies to those who are chaotic and organized themselves. As someone in a country where freedom of religion is not guaranteed, I know what I am talking about. Thank you for your attention and may the Lord bless you and Wikipedia. 2001:AC8:26:4:102:239:0:A9 (talk) 10:09, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Good heavens! An endless discussion because of an alumni group? Really? As far as I can see this specific group is neither dangerous nor questionable. Therefore I support Walter Görlitz. Other users in this discussion explained convincingly what this group is about. But more than that, stop wasting time with such minor matters and religion bashing. Religious freedom includes belonging to any kind of church, even weird ones. Btw., merging with Universal Life Church seems not to be an option as this group is open to different branches of this religious community. So merging would be sort of connecting two institutions that may or may not be closely related. But we’re here not for guessing or creating theories. Cheers.

  • Few things: 1.) Existence in other languages is meaningless. Notability criteria is not shared among all WMF projects but even if it were, WP:OTHERSTUFF applies. 2.)

  • It's an extremely minor tournament in the snooker world. It's an amateur tournament in a country that isn't really into snooker - count the number of Germans in the current Snooker World Rankings, just one in the list of those with a ranking (131 players from around the world) and he's ranked 129th. So we have an article about the tournament (German Amateur Championship (snooker)) but we don't do articles about each year's contest. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 16:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Our next dubious Somali placename appears to have its origins in a UN report; the link in the article is dead but I found this story which contains a passing reference and which is reasonably likely to be a duplicate. The problem is that the story implies that Shanqolow is a neighborhood or something similar within Baardheere, not a town unto itself. And that is the only substantial information I found: geonames does not acknowledge the place at all. I'm dubious about redirecting this to Baardheere since there's no discussion of neighborhoods or the like, and it appears that the only place one would come across the name, the story I linked to, already tells you all we know.

Visible here as Shongolou, near Balan Baasha (cf. Baalan Baasha in the article) . 37.117.118.138 (talk) 10:02, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is completely plausible: the name from openstreetmap is in geonames (which, after all, is probably where they got it), and while there's no settlement there now, there are some signs there once was (the typical round enclosures, but no buildings). The question is, can we put this all together and say that they are two names for the same place, mentioned as having such-and-such fighting, and such-and-such a location, but it has need destroyed? there's a fair bit of synthesis going on there. Mangoe (talk) 10:36, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would say two different Latin transliterations rather than names. The original name is شنقلو, which is likely to be the "village of Shenqlou in the Islamic state of Qizu" mentioned by jihadist sources (e.g. قرية شنقلو بولاية قيذو الإسلامية). So we have 1) a place whose name may be spelled as Shanqulow or Shongolou in English, which is marked near Balan Baasha on a reliable map (in the Bay district, not in the Gedo district, as asserted in the article), 2) the (same?) Shanqulow place where the clashes mentioned in the linked source took place. There are some bits of encyclopedic information here. A stub providing useful links may be better than nothing. 37.117.118.138 (talk) 12:29, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A very new company with no evidence of any notability. Its own website, directory listing, own press releases and several refs attesting to the receipt of a minor award (and a quote from Shakespeare!) make u the refs.None of this gets anywhere close to WP:GNG.

The company is new no doubt but the reason I created the page is because it's selected in the list of top 10 among 3000+ startups in India by ELECRAMA, which is one of the biggest conference in the world for electrical and electronics equipment space. More than 120 countries are participating in the conference and it's an initiative by the Govt. of India. more about ELECRAMA at their site https://elecrama.com. The press releases quoted are from Republic TV, which is the highest viewed English news channel in India. That's the reason I took the initiative of creating the page as I see Insilico as one of the most promising startups now in India. Finally Smart Lighting, for which they have come to limelight is one of the most significant socially impactful solutions to have come out from the startup fraternity in India. The news coverage by Republic TV talks at lengths about the impact of such a solution. saolide 8 March 2018

Objection, to the proposal, and the nomination
This article was listed for consideration for deletion with an inappropriate quotation, after significant improvement and addition of references, by an editor who seems to be proud of pushing articles for deletion:

  • (from their own talk page: "Deletionism" - I'm working towards a Deletionist's Cross of the Iron Cross.

This kind of "article vendetta" approach is not funny, is contrary to Wikipedia's professed spirit, and represents someone working out their personal issues, and potentially throwing away both valid content and other folk's hard work. Notably no attempt has been made to make any constructive suggestions on the Talk page of the article, in fact the Talk page has not even been brought into being.

The quoted reason is: "A directory-like listing for an unremarkable private company. Significant RS coverage not found" - but this is a notice that was posted *by the same user* when the article was *two lines long*, with no structure, categorization or citation. It is simply ridiculous to now post such a notice on a more mature article, which has now been worked on on all those points.

The request to consider deletion also refers to one user and some question about them, but no user owns an article, and this has nothing to do with the more developed piece.

Further, some sources are offered, as a hint, I suppose, but Wikipedia does not work only from that very short list. In a new and fast moving area such as "Fintech" it is especially absurd not to source widely, by that logic much of the ever-growing online world would be missed until already "big." Overall, this nomination is unfair and improper, as it is clear from even a quick read that the company in question, and its technology, offer a potentially important advance in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Having vented that, in fairness I should go and try to source something myself. 62.148.0.114 (talk) 11:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you provide a diff for your unfounded claim of the nom being a fascist deletionist? Prince of Thieves (talk) 17:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm an occasional visitor, so not sure what a "diff" is, but having read the article, put forward an improvement, and been surprised at a proposal to delete, I followed the User Page link, and found: "Deletionism". For my two cents worth, the main issue is that no attempt was made by this editor Coffman to improve, or suggest improvements, and no recognition was given to various already-done improvements, whereas the quoted policy says: "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." 109.252.27.29 (talk) 20:38, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see, I got the impression from your comment that it was on his user talk page rather than a page with a clear humor tag. Prince of Thieves (talk) 20:53, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I missed the humour tag. But I think that you confused me with a previous poster. I'm just a guy in a café who was reading about this company - it is not mentioned, but they did an Initial Coin Offering for 20+ MUSD last year - looked them up, added something, and followed the links. I understand your point, but still, I don't think that deleting real-life content (there is no doubt the company and its technology exist) is something to do lightly. This sort of in-joking is one of the things which sometimes puts people off joining Wikipedia (says the occasional editor, here and at home). I made no claims of Nazism or any similar thing (and I see the other editor is something of a specialist in countering that vicious area, so I would be especially sensitive around that.109.252.27.29 (talk) 22:24, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly advise you register an account. I assumed you were the same person. Prince of Thieves (talk) 22:57, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete The subject is not notable, the company is not the subject of multiple, reliable, in-depth independent sources. This cannot be fixed or 'improved', since it is not a content or formatting issue. Accusing the nom of being a deletionist nazi and whinging about perceived injustice is nothing more than a smokescreen to hide something. Probably the COI / UPE issue. Prince of Thieves (talk) 21:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on, it has 6 different references, there are thousands, at least, of Wikipedia articles with zero to <6. Not everyone has BBC or NYT coverage. And is it not better, in debate, to avoid jargon like COI and UPE. I sse a humour heading on your own page, so I hope you take this in the same spirit. Industry coverage and a good deal of real money says this company and its technological innovation have something going, and it seems to be potentially important.
The place is closing, so a closing comment - Prince of Thieves, I see one of your flags on your page is as "Advisor" - so why not suggest something positive about the page. For myself, I know a little of the topic of bitcoin and similar from a business aspect, but maybe the article would work better if it were less technical, or more explanatory? I really think you're being too strict on your test of notability, which would also see going out of the encyclopedia almost all articles on sports stars below national level, many books and games (only covered in specialist magazines), and so on. You've over 1500 edits, the other editor involved over 70000!, surely there are some constructive suggestions? G'night! 109.252.27.29 (talk) 22:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure that four of those sources are borderline and should never be used on Wikipedia to show notability. The Huffington Post is considered unreliable, this is explained somewhere by DGG, basically it has little editorial integrity. Goldbitcoin.org, newsbtc.com and cryptotimes.org are all dubious industry sources, with no clear editorial integrity, and a great deal of published press releases and tabloid type coverage (or hype). This leaves a short mention in Financial IT and an almost unrelated article in the Daily Telegraph. This is not substantial in-depth coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Therefore delete. Prince of Thieves (talk) 22:57, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm back to this, after some days of "real life" and I get the points above, but I think this article has enough sourcing and substance to stay and be improved. Various people have already worked on it. Matter of fact, what percentage of Wikipedia is built that way, by unregistered users "putting a few bricks in the wall"? It can always be reviewed again in say 6 months. And to the next commentator- no it's not "highly promotional". Check out a few press releases, much more pushy. I can't comment deeply on the technology but the idea seems to be seen as new by industry figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.252.27.29 (talk) 08:57, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it can be deleted and then maybe recreated in six months. You clearly have no concept about what is promotional, almost the entire article is made up of primary sourced technological hype speak. and things like Users are able to keep close track of various assets and verify their condition instantly, which could reduce the cost of asset valuation, speed up transations, and improve market liquidity.. so yes this is bad. If you want to work on something with a little leeway, how about something that isn't a fintech startup? The standards for corporations are vastly more difficult to pass, than those on say on villages or sports players. Prince of Thieves (talk) 09:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Highly promotional, routine press for a new startup. They seem think that their protocol for financial smart contracts, backed by the blockchain ledger, seems to be something they invented, given the primary work was done, 5 maybe 7 years ago. scope_creep (talk) 23:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Inadequate sources for the notability of a company.There is no point comparing with other articles, since we admittedly have thousands of articles from earlier periods where the guidelines were applied erratically, and people here less vigilant. Further, the general rules for notability are in practice applied differently for different subjects, and their relationship with the special rules is different. Whether we should cover athletes as widely as we do is possibly a little dubious, but at present the consensus is that we do. That we apply the rules strictly to organizations is also the clear practice,and is especially motivated by the need to discourage promotionalism , by removing articles about minor firms for which their is no encyclopedic material possible except their advertising. The Huffington Post is variable: their news articles are written by staff and apparently edited, but they show unmistakable bias. Their columns and features and blogs are written by the authors, and represent their views only. Between the bias and the lack of control, there isn;t much that is of use to an encyclopedia.

  • Incubate - this tackles a whole new concept (well-referenced within the crypto world), not 5-7 years old (that's proof of -work and -stake), referenced by Bloomberg (a new application of the concept) and Financial IT. The article has improved a good deal since the admittedly poor start, and this should surely be encouraged?
A couple of the points above addressed: 1) All one person? On this page? Doesn't look like it in terms of content or style. Likewise (use any IP checking tool), the article has been worked on from multiple locations / countries. Is the spamming of WP so bad that suspicion is default? What happened to AGF? 2) Paid or CoI - if that first article was paid for, they must be the most incompetent paid agents ever. Maybe someone's overenthusiastic friend. 3) Differing standards - yes, understood. WP is split between "every hamlet or crossroads" and minor sportspeople and actors versus deep testing of corporations. But an area like cryptocurrency needs to be tested against a standard relevant to an emerging area; compare articles in relevant categories, maybe?

37.186.230.180 (talk) 09:18, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The standards are set in policy by the community, right now they are making the requirements for companies like this scricter, but I am sure the quality will steadily improve. I personally think that IP editors are automatically under suspicion, but so are new editors at AfD, this is because of routine paid/COI editors breaking all the rules to try and keep their articles by hook and crook. If this is deleted or draftified then additional sources may become available if this company becomes better covered. However there is a general consensus that companies need to be subject to stricter guidelines than villages, to maintain the quality of the project by protecting against promotional articles. (See WP:PROMO). Prince of Thieves (talk) 09:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the courtesy of a reply. If the community is really unsure yet, I like this idea of Incubate or, lovely word, draftification. It captures the good, in some visible way. I've made several hundred edits over the years, mostly on my mobile, mostly small fixes, but I've been through this AfD process before too, twice, one article survived, one was deleted. 37.186.230.180 (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As long as edits are made to the draft at least every six months you can work on it until it becomes notable, if that happens. I suggest that you save a copy of the text now though because I can't guarantee the closer will move this to draft/user-space. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:17, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And so again, from home. Thanks for the hint. I did not mean to end up as "nanny" or incubator, but, to quote another peninsula, que sera sera. I will at least take a copy. But, as I like a challenge, I will try to add a reference or two more as well. I spent some time on the commute scanning "crypto space" within Wikipedia, this article is far from the weakest, and maybe there is a chance yet for Keep. Of course with even Google sceptical about these "new currencies" perhaps there will be fewer articles in time. Meantime, do try to have some faith. Is the editing now so tough, against the tide of bad material? I actually thought that this article's improvement was a sign of right thinking, though maybe some did have some, as they say, prior acquaintance, as I see several hands were Russian, where this Bankex's devops centre is.

TOO SOON. He just started. All of the other articles about U.S. governorships are high profile governorships where the officeholder had 2+ terms. Furthermore, they sought, are seeking, or are speculated to seek the Presidency. Most are also high profile individuals that are or are almost household names. There are plenty of other governorships that are more notable than this and don't have an article yet. I do think we should have more of these articles, but I don't see why we can't cover this particular governorship in the Phil Murphy and Government of New Jersey pages.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Nomination is completely based in Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. It suggests that there "should be more of these articles" and that same time it should be merged/re-directed to into another. It cites comparisons and contrasts that do not consider the merits of the article in and of itself and creates criteria that are not policy based, but expresses non-objective personal beliefs/preference. The cited essay TOO SOON, simply says: "Generally speaking, the various notability criteria that guide editors in creating articles, require that the topic being considered be itself verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a collection of unverifiable content. It is an encyclopedia that must be reliable. If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered." and is not applicable here: the article is properly sourced, so clearly that is not the case here. It easily fulfills Wikipedia:Verifiability.Djflem (talk) 01:38, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article, as it exists, provides dozens of reliable and verifiable sources about the Governorship of Phil Murphy; the notability standard is clearly satisfied here. There is no requirement that some number of terms or years must be served before such an article may be created. Alansohn (talk) 02:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective Merge- to Phil Murphy. It is WP:TOOSOON, the guy has only been governor for one month, he really hasn't done much yet. What the article actually describes is his campaign platform, not what he has actually done. Most of this is already covered in the Phil Murphy article. If I were to remove all the campaign promises from the article, we'd be left with only a few sentences about what he has actually accomplished. Maybe a year or two from now when we start running out of room at the Phil Murphy article it may become appropriate to spin this out.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're not getting it, Phil Murphy has not actually done much of anything yet. The sources you are using are about his campaign promises, not what he has done. If we remove all the campaign promises from the article we have three sentences. "On January 29, 2018, Murphy signed an executive order reinstating New Jersey back into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.In February 2018 he signed legislation committing New Jersey to the Paris Agreement. In February 2018, Murphy signed his first piece of legislation, the restoration of $7.5 millon annual funding for Planned Parenthood, which had been cut early in the Christie administration." Those three sentences can be easily covered in the Phil Murphy article.--Rusf10 (talk) 14:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not getting it:

1. When responding to my posts REFRAIN from unsolicited, uninformed, uninteresting, useless statements such as "what you know", "what you should know", "what you would do", "what you like", "what you think", "you're not getting it" and other similar detritus, as you have done here and elsewhere). If you expect Wikipedia:Civility, show it.
2. One doesn't get to cherry-pick and choose which sourced verifiable material is valid for convenience purposes, so why are you doing that?Djflem (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and merge - Keep since article is a relevant split of the parent article (it contains information which could not be treated to such an extent in the parent article, et cetera), merge important details because there's currently only one sentence about the governorship in the parent article. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 02:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge based on a review of what we have in Wikipedia so far, it doesn't appear governorships are presumptively notable, and there aren't any articles about his governorship as a whole, or why the fact he was governor is notable. SportingFlyer talk 04:15, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:other stuff exists argument are not really validDjflem (talk) 07:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the fact all other governorships on this site are from highly notable governors is a really interesting point, I think. There's a lot of sources, but I don't actually think his governance is notable enough for a stand-alone article, especially since it's only been a month, and because there's a ton of New Jersey political fancruft on this site to begin with. I can't really put my finger on it, though. Feels WP:SPIPpy, especially because so many of the references are WP:TOOSOON "He says he will sign..." SportingFlyer talk 08:35, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How can references be TOO SOON? References verify the content in independent secondary reliable sources. Are your feeelngs about Wikipedia:SPIP backed up w/ anything that other editors can do something with? Djflem (talk) 10:40, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article now stands at 21,852 bytes, and is sure be vastly expanded. Why merge only to split again?
Comment I had a lot of trouble with this article and I was wondering if I just didn't like it: it's basically a collection of WP:ROUTINE news articles about a new state governor without any summary, and many of the cites don't even say what he has accomplished, but rather discuss what he will accomplish. Also, no current state governors and very few former state governors have articles on their governorship, but that argument fails WP:OSE. Other AfD's on governorship have been due to forks (Ronald Reagan) or NPOV (Sarah Palin). This might feel like it's entirely out of left field, but I finally figured out what was bothering me after voting in an AfD about a sports league season (which needs to pass WP:EVENT): a governorship probably has to pass WP:EVENT to be notable too. Yes, there's lots written on Mr. Murphy's governorship so far, but they're all local. So many of these sources are routine political articles from nj.com. The Washington Post article was about the fact he got elected. The New York Times wrote a story about his election and the guy he put in to manage transit. Basically, this article as it stands is a simple regurgitation of local news sources for a very recent governor who hasn't made any sort of impact yet. The Sarah Palin article, for instance, has national coverage about her governorship (not about her election). This ... doesn't. SportingFlyer talk 02:30, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep apart too much info for his biography if you merge it back in. Every modern governor should have enough info available for this type of article, that we do not have them is because no one is eager enough to write one. --RAN (talk) 06:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just to make clear: this is essentially what I'm saying (+ the part about there being not enough info in the parent article) 198.84.253.202 (talk) 14:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. He's only had a couple of months in office. His (stated) positions on various issues aren't especially notable: Actions speak louder than words, and he hasn't had much time to act yet. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:50, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be reflected and is reflected in the article. So that's about Murphy, what about the article? What does notable positions? Are here any objectve arguments about the article?Djflem (talk) 16:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per WP:COMMONSENSE. He is already in office and stuff is happening every day. At a minimum this kind of an article is a useful placeholder to which information about various important events/aspects of his administration can be added as needed. There is no point in deleting the article now and then waiting for some magic marker to be passed. Nsk92 (talk) 19:26, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. , pretty much as said by Nsk92 and others. The material is certain to be forthcoming,and the page will certainly need to be created. DGG ( talk ) 02:51, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no reason we would need to have stand alone articles on every governor of every state.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:15, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And what does this have to do with this article precisely? We're not here to discuss "stand alone articles on every governor", but to determine if this article on this governor meets or doesn't meet WP:GNG criteria and sourcing minimums for inclusion (which it does, as a matter of fact). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 03:23, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That may be your opinion, but what are your policy-based arguments, if any?Djflem (talk) 06:25, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is the subject notable? Yes, the governorship of Phil Murphy has been covered in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources - that solves WP:GNG. Is the article in it's current state appropriately sourced (for at least the major points)? Yes. Thus, article meets both GNG (for inclusion) and WP:V (which would be grounds for deleting if the whole article was unsourced OR - it isn't). Q.E.D. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 13:37, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In response to TOOSOON and OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - not valid. And the page on G.W. Bush's governorship (supposedly, a high profile individual with 2+ terms) - only 12 kbytes, while this one already has 23 kbytes. Given that both articles will likely grow, common sense would be to keep them separate - there is no requirement that all information about a subject be treated in one single article, whether we ignore size criteria or not. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 02:08, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This article is not a split; it is material not covered elsewhere.Djflem (talk) 14:31, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's because the parent article literally has nothing on it. However, even if we wanted to add this back in the parent article, we'd need to considerably trim it down (i.e. remove content). Therefore, this article is a valid split which covers a certain aspect of a subject in more details than the main article, and should be kept because it meets the general criteria of notability. State governors are obviously high-level political figures (even more than, say, provincial premiers in Canada) and thus, are notable enough to have in-depth coverage, irrespective of the tendency to cover celebrities (i.e. President/Vice-President candidates) more. If there's enough content to make a fully-fleshed out article (and there is), then we shouldn't just remove it because "there is no other like it" - the WP concept of precedent is much more flexible than the legal one, and if it prevents us from having a decent article on something, then ignore it. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 18:16, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This governorship has more than enough significant mentions in newspapers to meet the general notability guidelines. Cardamon (talk) 03:48, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If you look at the sources which actually talk about his governorship, almost all (24 of 27) of those mentions are WP:ROUTINE coverage from nj.com. The others are a blog-paper thing talking about New Jersey politics and a radio station news blurb which is actually about a senator. SportingFlyer talk 03:59, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: He may not have done anything significant as of yet compared to other governors, but he hasn't been in office for much time. Also, once he does do something significant, this article will just have to be created again, so what's the point of deleting this now?–Daybeers (talk) 04:07, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because we're not talking about recreating it a few weekss or a month or two from now. It probably wouldn't be recreated for a minimum of a year (maybe two). Like I said, if we take out all the campaign promises and focus on his time as governor (which is really what the article is supposed to be about), there would only be a few sentences left. In the meantime, the relevant content can be added to the Phil Murphy article.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:44, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Who is the "we" is the post claims to represent?
  2. What is the prediction of one (maybe two) based on? And why?
  3. Who says the criteria mentioned is "what the article should be about"? Btw, the article does "focus on his time as governor".
  4. Which "few" sentences would be chosen, by whom, and who would move them to make a comprehensive contribution? Can "we" expect a proposal on the talk page? Djflem (talk) 14:24, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, once he does do something significant, this article will just have to be created again... Considering that we only have about ten of these governorship articles, and considering that there are many other governors who did significant things, I don't think your reasoning is correct. Lepricavark (talk) 19:11, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, lots of governors do significant things at a local level without having their governorship be particularly notable, or notable enough for Wikipedia. What makes this governorship "notable" so far is about 25 local nj.com articles, most of which are speculative. I think it can be safely merged back into the main article. SportingFlyer talk 23:28, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPOL doesn't require politicians to be important on an international level (in fact, it even explicitly mentions that "statewide office holders" are generally notable). I think it is safe to assume the criteria for sub-articles are the same as those for the parent article (plus the requirement that it not just be a content fork, that it meet WP:GNG and that it provide information which could not be easily covered in the parent article). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:COMMONSENSE. As noted above, we have articles of this type for governors who late ran for President or Vice President. Unless we plan to start creating these en masse, there is no reason why Murphy should have one. Lepricavark (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Invoking common sense isn't enough, see WP:NOCOMMON. And "unless we plan to start creating these en masse" is a nice (and off-topic) slippery slope - this discussion is about this article and whether it meets or doesn't meet inclusion criteria, not potential other ones (and even then, if there's enough content to include them, why not? as I wrote above, these are high-ranking politicians, not some random persons on the street. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 18:16, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a slippery slope at all. My contention is not that we should delete this article because it might lead to a rash of similar other articles. Rather, I'm saying that this article is an anomaly and should be deleted unless we plan to make more articles for governors who are not nationally influential. Lepricavark (talk) 19:11, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are sill using slip-slope argument, just rewording it. Every change at Wikipedia starts with one article and does not always conclude with people writing articles about their dogs. --RAN (talk) 22:34, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And since when is being "nationally influential" a criteria for inclusion? WP:N doesn't require that much notability for inclusion. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, we don't need an article like this one unless there is something particularly significant about a gubernatorial administration. I do not believe this article meets, or even comes close, to that standard. Generally, the important points of a governor's administration can and should be covered in the governor's biography. Nothing more than that is needed. Lepricavark (talk) 20:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:I don't like it isn't a good argument either, if you don't need it or don't like it, just do no read it. --RAN (talk) 22:30, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You seized on one part of my argument and ignored the rest of it. I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change my mind. Same goes for the IP. Lepricavark (talk) 23:12, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep His election represents a major shift from previous Governor, who supported positions opposed to Murphy on most major issues. New Jersey is not only one of our largest states (by population), its governor controls the bridges and tunnels that connect New York City to Philadelphia and Washington D.C., Murphy wants to fund transit, Christie blocked the Trans Hudson Gateway Tunnel. Coverage of Murphy's administration is gonna happen. This placeholder aritcle will be expanded as events unfold.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:09, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You just made an WP:ILIKEIT argument. Just because you like his policies, doesn't mean that this is an appropriate article at this time. Also, nobody knows what he will actually end up accomplishing. Some of his proposals (which is what this article is really about) are likely to face opposition from his own party.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:47, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, despite the Bridgegate incident, the governor of NJ doesn't actually control the bridges. They are controlled by the Port Authority which is an agency created by the federal government which is supposed to have equal representation from both states.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:52, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I pointed out an important policy shift, not about Bridgegate (revealing about Christie's stye, but ZERO impact on infrastructure. ) I referenced the Trans Hudson Gateway Tunnel, which Christie killed (at least for a generation), as an example of the significant shifts on a number of issues that Murphy has already begun to work on - not least by the appointments he has ALREADY made at key agencies.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:42, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Governorship of Phil Murphy#Cabinet nominees, a large part of the governorship article is consistent w/ the subject (& should be expanded as it's a first in terms of its composition) and which would be questionable/inappropriate and likely be challenged in a Murphy bio.Djflem (talk) 09:05, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He already signed an executive order reinstating subsidies for wind turbines; and appointed Kevin S. Corbett to head New Jersey Transit (non-cabinet agency). My point is that contrary to some assertions above, significant stuff has already happened early in this governorship: Governorship of Phil Murphy#New Jersey Transit; Governorship of Phil Murphy#Wind power.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
