The result was Bizarre adventure. The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.

Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it.

Robert Herrick (broadcaster)

This article is written about me, it is innaccurate and I don't think I meet the criteria for being notable enough, especially seen as seasoned reporters who work for my company aren't on Wikipedia, when I am, after a year of regional reporting.

The Kamar

This is a non-notable religion, and the page itself gives no indication of notability, just a description of the religion and its principles. Google turns up no relevant hits for "Kamar religion" besides the Wikipedia article. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Louise Kobrak

Script supervisors are an important part of any production, but they are not inherently notable. None of this woman's accomplishments, good though they are, elevate her to encyclopedic notability. A ni Mate 22:14, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's nothing in
WP:N which suggests that certain activities or occupations are "not inherently notable", and I don't think any such list will be attempted. I suppose it comes down to the Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and what is meant by it. As "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" is defined there, the sources for this person seem to me to meet the criteria, if only just. Xn4 (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply
]

An important issue is significance of coverage. The sources cited (IMDb, alumni directory, etc.) are directory and database entries, which are considered trivial and insufficient to establish notability. • Gene93k (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in what you say. IMDb clearly is a database, but do we state anywhere as a policy that database sources are inherently trivial? We have an awful lot of articles which rely on IMDb, in particular, as a source. Xn4 (talk) 22:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIO#Basic criteria has footnote #6 attached, which describes depth of coverage in general and specifically mentions IMDb. Nearly everybody who works in film gets an IMDb listing. IMDb "biographies" are user submitted. Their use in Wikipedia is controversial at best. • Gene93k (talk) 22:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

Though private citizens might submit to IMDB, most enties are submitted by productions companies, publicists, and agents. There is some small editorial control, but not as much as Wikipedia would hope or expect, and such is thus colored by industry hype. IMDB as a source, specially where it relates to cast and crew, is acceptable as a tertiary source and should be supported by other sources. Inclusion in IMDB might be used to further confirm an actors or cast work history, but simply being a part of a project... any project... does not create a notability. Being a script supervisor on a film, or a hundred films, as important to the pordction as that job is, does not create a notability. Even were these films all academy award winners... being script supervisor is not notable, as notability is not inherited. If you were anble to say something like... Louise Kobrak was the first woman to script supervisor in space, and could document this statement with a review or article in the New York Times.... THEN you'd have a notabilty. What you have been able to show is that Louise Kobrak has been a script supervisor for lots of films. What you have to do is show why that makes her more notable than the hundred/thousands of others who have been scipt supervisors on hundreds of films. Basically, what you have to show is exactly what makes this fact about her so notable. Its existance is not in doubt... its notability is. Has she won awards? Has she been in public office? Has her name been in the headlines? What makes her unique... special... memorable... notable? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIO. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Did some searches [1][2][3][4] after writing my comment (above). Nearly every link simply gives a short filmology... such as do The New York Times and Hollywood.com. Interesting that TV.com gives her a 1996 writing credit for season 2, episode 17 of the TV series "High Tide" but IMDB does not. Pretty much, these searches could do no more than confirm her existance under several AKA's and confirm that she did indeed work in all those films and many more. However, none showed her being a script supervisor as having any special notability. And again, her working with notables does not make her notable, as

WP:BIO. One must pay close attention to its very first paragraph: "The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". Once that basic concern is addressed, then one may address the sources that support the assertion... not before. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Scripts and sheets published by the Sauerländer Heimatbund (SHB) itself are not a reliable and independent secondary sources, IMHO. The inline references are A) one published by SHB B) a blog [5] C) a website [6] of the publisher of the scripts and sheets of the SHB and the first one [7] is even not about the SHB at all (or broken in firefox and safari). Sebastian scha. (talk) 20:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Googling "Sauerländer Heimatbund" gives quite a few hits. Not overwhelming, but still notable. Some mentions, [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], . The organization also has a publishing activity ([13]). --Soman (talk) 22:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability"

WP:GROUP. We can discuss now if this google hits are incidental or if the SHB is the main subject. (I think JD554's working men's club will get a few google hits too. :-) Serious, I still believe this fails notability, even it's founded in the 1920s and have 3000 members and get some google hits.

No reliable English language references to support notability for inclusion in English Wikipedia. The best references that contributors have come up with since the last AfD discussion are all blogs and LinkedIn pages. The last AfD ~~concluded that references were available to support Wikipedia's rather low bar of notability, but~~ failed to reach a conclusion due to withdrawal of nomination. I have to question the value of having a biographical article for every patent submission (before approval) or person to come before the courts for tax fraud.
Fugu Alienking (talk) 15:55, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

Weak delete - for reference, this is the article including all the more dubious sources. Despite them, I still can't tell how we came up with Ljungman's birthday or his four children. Ljungman is claimed to work for Media Power Inc (and he did a few months ago), but they removed his bio from their website. In Fugu Alienking's preferred version, the article is a stub with hardly a claim for notability, unless tax fraud reported in newspapers counts. In the extended version, there's more stuff, but most of it with dubious sources, some of which aren't even about Ljungman and don't mention him. Huon (talk) 16:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, after reading the Swedish language references and the English translations and Blog cover the articles, it seems clear that they meet
WP:BIO. Neither provides mere trivial coverage. Both are reliable, third-party sources independent of the subject. Linkedin may be a weak source; it’s not in itself dubious though. The source substantiate several articles relate to Ljungmans business background. With cross-reference to his partner Carl Freer s Linkedin page you could also find information about current occupation and involvement in Media Power Inc. Articles about the company do also make it notable whisch should reflect on Ljungmans bio. There are several cross-references about the technique and systems Ljungman seems to work with that also could be found in the patent applications presented. The applications also refer to mobile applications in a field rapidly growing. From a notability point there is more value in information that headlights more than one angle. Gizmondo and Media Power are not a Swedish product or entity. The patent applications is in UK and USA, Ljungmans early connection with Gizmondo Europe ltd is also an English and US connection, inclusion in English Wikipedia seems therefore natural. Sorry to say I find Fugu Alienking :s contribution more as a personal vendetta against Ljungman and Freer. It’s becomes more obvious reading his/hers contribution on Ljungmans partners Wiki as well.--Needlepinch (talk) 18:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

Comment. I haven't researched this enough yet to make a recommendation, but I would like to point out that there is no requirement for sources to be in English, or for article subjects to have a connection with an anglophone country. The "English" in "English Wikipedia" refers only to the language in which it is written.
Phil Bridger (talk) 19:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

Comment. While it may be acceptable to base parts of the article on Swedish sources, I think that there need to be some English secondary sources to support notability, otherwise the barrier to editing by English speakers is too high. I'm not sure that even the Swedish sources count as reliable secondary sources, as they are uncritical interviews in online-only business publications. --

~~Keep~~,The main issue seems to be if you could allow a weak reference such as LinkedIn together with other sources. To my knowledge a weak reference could be used if not the whole article is based on that reference or similar references. In this case the source doesn’t contradict the other references in the article. The source substantiates several other articles. The secondary issue seems to be if Ljungman is a part of Media Power or not. It was established that Ljungman was one of the founders. Even if the company web site substantially has changed you can’t erase the fact he was a founder. There have been no other information sources, other than speculations by contributors, substantiate that Ljungman is not a part of the founding company. Instead we can find, from alternative weak sources that both Ljungman and his partner Carl Freer is still with the company. The third issue seems to be if a Ljungman founded company should be mentioned in the article. It seems natural to mention a company where the patent applications, mentioned in the article, plays a central role. The company is also notable because of the collaboration and donations with and to several universities. It doesn’t matter if Ljungman is mentioned or not in this article. The company is a product of Ljungman. The article about Ljungman in a whole, do not preponderance the company against the other sections.--Needlepinch (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd ask you not to add multiple "keep" comments; only one !vote per person. And while the article has severe issues, this is not the place to reach consensus on them. This discussion should determine whether Ljungman is a fitting subject for an article at all, something I doubt. All the most reliable sources but one mention him only in connection with tax fraud and bankruptcy (and in effect only in connection with one event, which doesn't bestow notability per
WP:BLP1E). If we were to reflect that focus in the article, it'd have to start with "Mikael Ljungman is a failed businessman and a convicted tax fraudster." If we don't reflect that in the article, we're using a mix of self-published material, sources which don't mention Ljungman at all, and the one positive newspaper article to paint a rosy picture of Ljungman. You say Fugu Alienking has an agenda, but just as well one might say that you have an agenda, too. Huon (talk) 22:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Comment. The main issue is not whether you can include Linked in along with other sources, but whether those other sources are of sufficient quality and coverage to support notability. I'm not sure that an uncritical interview and several mentions in passing is enough, especially when they are all in Swedish (some with unofficial translations available on a blog). --

Keep Notable gene. --Arcadian (talk) 23:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- this is a disruptive, anti-science AFD nomination. The nominator's claim that the gene is non-notable because he "Could find no references outside scientific literature" is directly contrary to our general notability guideline, which expressly provides that
If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable.
Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Scholarship clearly states that
Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available, such as history, medicine and science...
Thus, his argument that subjects which have received no coverage "outside [of] scientific literature" are non-notable is directly contrary to policy, which provides that significant coverage in scientific literature establishes a presumption of notability. His argument is also unsupported by practice on Wikipedia -- claims that subjects which meet the general notability guideline still aren't "notable in a wider sense"[17] are almost never levied against math, natural science, engineering, and social science articles.

Comment. Following is a slightly modified arguement I gave at DRV which I did not give in the original nomination through niavity.

This article comes very close to meeting notability guidelines - many will think it does. However I'd source one is clearly trivial coverage while source three is verging on it (search several thousand genes and this is one that correlates) which leaves just source two which is not enough, IMO, to establish notability. If you feel it meets the notability guidelines I think we need to apply a little bit of
WP:N "should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception." Dpmuk (talk) 11:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply
]
Your argument that "the structure, function snd other basic properties of all the human genes... is likely to be discovered... and... will undoubtly be published in peer-reviewed journals" is based on bare, unsupported conjecture as to the number of human genes which have been the subject of extensive investigation. Even if a large portion of genes do meet our
WP:NOT#PAPER. Deletions on "notability" grounds are primarily employed to remove articles which cannot be rendered in acceptable form due to a lack of coverage in third-party reliable sources with which to write a good article: we should hardly destroy this article simply because the nominator regards the subject matter as unimportant. The argument that this article should be deleted to avoid "the danger of wikipedia becoming a directory and duplicating the many scientific databases that already hold this data" is specious, since for genes that meet our general notability guideline, we will have sufficient source material to write articles far more expansive than mere directory entries. Furthermore, the argument that articles should be deleted to avoid the duplication of existing resources would, if accepted, justify the deletion of any article which does not contain original research, since it would necessarily restate information obtained from other sources. While our notability guideline should indeed "be treated with common sense and the occasional exception", the deletion of articles concerning genes meeting our general notability guideline simply because the nominator fails to appreciate their importance isn't common sense -- it's common nonsense.

Comment I thought, and still do, that it sets a dangerous precedent. An article on the type of gene I'd have less problem with as then we wouldn't need one article for each gene of each species but rather one article per gene type. I also queried whether the gene had 'non-trivial' coverage in more than one reference. That said it would appear I'm in the minority on this so am withdrawing the nomination. I'd still argue that starting to set a precedent on this has been helpful as I suspect genes will be nominated again.

Provisional Keep. Section summaries/lists leading to the more detailed articles could be a really useful way of navigating round the cricket pages but the page looks like its been lifted straight from Wisden. I'd be interested in the views from the wikiproject on whether these lists are useful.

Delete. Largely duplicates the information in [Category:International_cricket_competitions_from_1918-19_to_1945] without providing useful links to the articles on the individual series. The History of Test cricket series (which seems to have stalled around 1900) might usefully have an article covering this period, but this article isn't it. Johnlp (talk) 21:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - sorry, it clearly provides information not in the category since the category is just a list of pages. This article avoids having to consult each page individually in order to obtain an overview. I agree with you, though, that linking to the individual test articles would be useful but that is a straightforward editorial task not a reason for deletion.
talk) 21:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Reply comment. Yes, but this would also be pretty much "just a list of pages" if it had the links that it probably ought to have. Of course, someone could add more information, and turn it into a real contribution, perhaps in the History of Test cricket series. But that would be a substantially different article from this one, and my suspicion is that it'd be better to scrap this one and start again. Johnlp (talk) 15:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep - only if some work is done to actually link to the series elsewhere, and it should probably be renamed [[Test cricket series (1918-1939)]] otherwise it could be Test rugby, or anything else. Also, why 1918-1939 as cut off dates. Obviously it is between the wars, but does that have any particular significance for cricket? I know why those dates have been chosen, but do others? I know that an article in poor shape is no reason to delete it (there is no deadline after all), but in its present state it is pretty poor and needs some linking, proper references and a general cleanup. I'm not convinced about the format of the article either with new sections for every series. A summary table may suffice (Series, between x and y, home wins, away wins) etc which could be grouped by year or season.–

Keep. Topic is notable. Cricket historians often divide cricket history using the World Wars, so it's a notable subdivision too. Fact that it is underdeveloped is irrelevant - 99% of our articles are underdeveloped. It can be developed into something far more detailed than a Cat and knowing JHall, I guess it probably will be eventually. --Dweller (talk) 14:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The whole reason a song released from an album is notable though is because the song gets promoted. There's no music video for this, it didn't chart on any official charts, and it wasn't actively promoted, so the only difference between this and an album track is the presence of track listings.

I have been working on and off on this article (mainly cleaning up and such), but as I don't know anything about Urdu literature, there was not much more that I could do and I don't feel competent to vote in this AfD, so this is just for information. --Crusio (talk) 12:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks much better, but still a how-to recipe-article beneath it all. Existence is shown, as it was previously, but I can not see notability. There are four references to cookbooks/newspaper columns, which is basically what the article was originally just now with four different peoples opinions hidden away on other sites. There doesn't appear to be anything special about those particular recipes (being American-old is not terribly relevant unless it was invented in America). Also the journal article which is linked is quite incidental - that article is about fructose, and they just happened to used cheese pudding, amongst other things, as a delivery method.

I don't think most people at AfD sometimes realise, that may be true for a basic google search that brings up all websites, this is why people think something like this isn't notable and a google search doesn't count, but if you use google news, books and scholar, the result is most of the
WP:RS for decades or even centuries, including the New York Times, mentions from the 1930s and so on, and google scholars gives you all the mentions such as by a dietetics association, and medical stuudies. That's what we mean by notability when it comes to anything or particularly a food, as with all the dozens or hundreds of food stubs we have. Anyway it now has six references, and is concentrating on the sweet dish with this name. Someone else can go through the hundreds of references which are left to be read through and add other information if you want, I think I've done my bit lol:) Although I may do more tomorrow.

Now, people will start arguing "Well, it's a valid redirect", and the answer is "No, it's not", because the only way this article is here is as an improper title. It should be Fly on the Wall, which is already taken in name space, so this is going to wind up being pointed to by a disambiguation page, and we would have to name this Fly one the Wall (non notable Miley Cyrus single that doesn't have enough information to have it's own page) or maybe something a little shorter if people want. That would get pointed to by the disambiguation, which would then redirect to the parent article. Cut the process short: delete the article, install a link to the appropriate section of the parent article in the disambiguation page, and don't clutter up then namespace for a common name with an article that shouldn't exist at all.Kww (talk) 23:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Keep - I know VeggieBoards was reviewed in the cookbook Vegan with a Vengance. Would that be considered a reliable source? I think I will try and include it in the article in any case. Also, VeggieBoards has previously been nominated by VegNews as "best website" in their annual Veggie Awards. This year they have nominated it again, but now in the category "Best Veg Forum". The results are to appear in the next edition of the magazine (November). The winners will receive a feature in the magazine and press coverage. As VeggieBoards is probably the largest such forum, they are likely to win. Although I agree that the amount of reliable sources is rather thin, I think it makes sense to not delete, or at least wait and see if they win a Veggie Award.

I don't think that is true. There are several sources in the article that are independent of the subject, and some are even critical of it. TheLastNinja (talk) 21:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no real independent sources. Also 30,000 registered is not really all that much for a message board --T-rex 15:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, a decent source exists, and more is likely to be printed by November. Also, 30,000 registered members (actually 35,000 at the moment) might not be a lot compared to the largest Internet forums, but it is a lot (in fact, the highest number) within its category. Or do only the largest of the largest forums qualify for encyclopedic notability? TheLastNinja (talk) 21:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You said it best, that "only the largest of the largest forums qualify for encyclopedic notability", quite honestly a current forum is going to need around 100,000 to be able to claim notability. Furthermore any future sources that may turn up in November certainly do not count. --T-rex 16:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree about notability. There's no Wikipedia policy that says a "forum is going to need around 100,000 to be able to claim notability". Also, there is a bunch of articles on forums with far less members than that. Besides, some forums delete unused accounts, while others don't, so comparing size and activity of web forums is not as straightforward as one might think.

I have to agree that a future source doesn't count. Just saying that maybe you'd want to give it the benefit of the doubt, hold your horses, then delete it if nothing turns up. TheLastNinja (talk) 19:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the rules of that website, a member will be banned for having multiple accounts. And those 35k people are not just people who saw the website, but people who saw the website and then took the trouble of signing up.

Michael Purdy

Michael Purdy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD

I am not convinced that this gentleman's achievements meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline(
WP:BIO). His naval career was fairly insignificant, with command of only three minor warships and a sail training ship, and no senior positions. Of the two sailing competitions the article claims he has entered, he appears to have failed to win or place in either. I cannot find major reference to or use of the papers mentioned in the article ([43] [44]
)
Of the sources currently in the article (I stripped out a few that were basically "external wikilinks" or deadlinks - see [45] for the changes I've made to the artcle prior to nominating), one is a primary source (a scan of orders for the yacht Nirimba), while the other links directly to a discussion paper the article claims was influenced by him. Two of the deadlinks I've removed from the article also appeared to be primary sources: one to a conference that one of his papers was published at, the other to his "current" postion as head of the RAN's website team. Google Scholar searches for works by him is inconclusive... my search for the name plus a series of optional terms related to patrol boats or the navy comes up with 19 hits, but all of these appear to belong to G. Michael Purdy, a British oceanographer. Vanilla Google brings up a lot of hits for the name in quotemarks [46], but the name is common and none of the top 30 results appear to be this gentleman. Same reults for filtering Australia-only results, or with additional qualifiers like navy, Australia, or Armidale (the patrol boats he wrote about).
He looks like a man who does his job, and does his job well, but I'm not sure he meets the notability inclusion guidelines for Wikipedia. -- saberwyn 04:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's the whole point -- the co-producer/writer for a notable show is not automatically notable -- he or she must demonstrate notability separate and distinct from the show itself being notable, or they are merely entitled to a mention within that article. It's like the Park East Synagogue being notable, but Evan Hoffman, the assistant rabbi, not being notable. He is indeed mentioned within the article, but does not merit an article himself based solely on that criterion. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 19:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point. However, I feel the two claims, taken together, do push him just past the notability threshold.

TN‑X-Man 19:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If it pushes him past the notability threshhold, it pushes every producer and writer, and why not director and editor and manager for that matter, of every successful show. Then we make articles for every producer, writer, director and every other top job on every successful motion picture. We'd have a lot of articles about people no one has ever heard of, the majority of which will probably remain that way for the rest of their career and even after they are dead. This is similar to sports -- just because someone plays right wing for the Timberwolves doesn't make him notable if no one even knows his name. If I were you, I'd modify my keep vote to a merge/redirect vote. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 21:52, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, hang on a second. I don't mean to imply that every single person that works on a TV show is notable.

So that is how colour television works - it uses Debasish Kundu's red, green and blue electricity! Science which is extremely dubious to put it mildly but presented as though it was well established.

Comment Watch out for
WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I'm sure this is total bollocks, but it's also quite likely to be notable bollocks (as for homeopathy itself), in which case it does belong here (if only for the first objective commentary it has ever seen). Investigation is required before one could comment as to whether it is notable bollocks (I'm short on time so guidance is welcome) but we shouldn't be too hasty.

Had another look. The external link is not in English. Yes the first site provides a definition but is it notable outside the article on Homeopathy? The second link crashed my internet so forgive me if I won't try exploring more of the links. Your rewrite was good but I would recommend that the info is merged with the homeopathy article. It's simply not notable to stand alone but might warrant a mention in its parent article. So merge, then delete. -- _{Escape Artist Swyer} ^{Talk to me} _{The mess I've made} 20:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not convinced that the references added to the article establish notability.
1 is a dictionary definition.

2 isn't about electro-homeopathy

3 is unclear what the subject is, "mountain herbs" seems closer to herbalism than homeopathy.

4 not a source independent of the subject.

I'm still going with delete. Tim Vickers (talk) 20:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment That's only an initial go at finding a few things. The Electro Homeopaths themselves seem to be adamant that they are not (in the ordinary sense of the word) homeopaths. There seems to be more info out there, but just pulled together what I could find in a few minutes. Too true about the references - used them to show that there was (a) possible controversy over what it is, (b)&(c) some substance to Count Massei himself (the third reference deals with Massei's 19th century claims he could cure cancer-you might need to scroll down). Absolutely right about the 4th ref, but as I say, there's something to it (even if it's not a science) Certainly not going to scrap too hard over this one, but suspect that a more experienced editor than I could knock this into shape. I'll be happy to do some more work on it but not for a couple of days. Would now say keep but needs more work, which I'll apply to it tomorrow (or possibly this evening), if it survives that long. Brammarb (talk) 20:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep This is a notable piece of pseudo-science and deserves its place in the record. I'm glad to see the first copyvio-riddled article replaced. Although the current article still has many issues (it lists key principles, but fails to explain them) it's certainly worth keeping and improving. Any merge to either
mesmerism would be wrong - it isn't a branch of either of them. It has almost nothing in common with the practice of homeopathy either, no more than a shared belief in a few of the same axiomatic principles. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:55, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply

Delete The article doesn't provide any references or external links. However, that is certainly not a criteria for deletion. By reading the article, it does appear that this may contain information that is somewhat sensitive, or possibly secret/top secret. If classified information pops up in a stub like this one, then it's going to result in an office action, and the idea is to minimize office actions. Any non-sensitive information should be able to be merged into some other article; this does not appear to need its own article at this time. Also note that Earthlink Scam Blocker traces the URL that was removed traces to "Dauphin Telecom" in "French Southern Territories." It traces www.nga.mil to the same provider.

Delete This appears to be an internal government project whose naming, existence, etc., is subject to change at any time. In addition, it appears to be at least partially secret, so it will be difficult (if not impossible) to come up with reliable sources independent of the subject (what I've been able to find on Lexis reads like a parroting of internal advertising for the project, occasionally an actual press release -- why secret government agencies issue press releases for projects they intend to keep secret is beyond me). Information about the scale and scope of the project (to determine its notability) will naturally be hard to come by. RayAYang (talk) 05:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I indicated to Mjpeanut26, we're going to need some sort of news coverage to show that the site is notable. Visitor's guides can prove that the site exists, which is OK as far as it goes, but we need to show that the market is actually notable - which we don't, currently.

Look.. If you guys want to delete this page, then be my guest.. It serves no purpose other than existing.

I mentioned over and over that the article was sent to me when the author didn't want to register with Wikipedia to make the page. I cut the article down and spent a few hours looking at numerous other people profile pages on Wikipedia, and there are hundreds if not thousands.
I followed every rule and example out there to make it work compared to the original version, which had too many out links and no references.
Someone mentioned SEO and it being a reason for instant guilt. If you want to hate on SEOs fine, but at least understand what it is before throwing it out there. Wikipedia nofollows their links, which means it has no SEO value AT ALL... It has spam value to people who dont rank or have legit pages, like selling insurance leads but search engines are not even going to rank Wikipedia over the source .com site.
I followed your rules to try to make the page better and less spammy and you all give me total crap for it. I only played along this long to get enough documentation to do a good blog post about it.
Delete this page if you like but it follows all your rules and examples and is no different than anyone on this page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_bloggers. Half the people on that page have almost no references and no standing other than owning a blog.
So if following your rules and spending hours to make sure it works the way it should is not what you want then i can do no more.
I don't know what standards you have for notable but if you review the individuals pages on half the marketers, bloggers, and technology figures on Wikipedia.. half dont have references from sources like Forbes, Entrepreneur, or speaker credentials at all the top conferences.

i wrote the article and think it is deserved and properly placed in wiki.. just cause your admin dont know people who are someone within an industry doesn't mean they are not.. It means you cannot know everything and thus should not allow a small handful of people make the decision on who is popular or known to them.

Again, what matters when it comes to notability is reliable sources, and this still ain't got none.

Keep Roode and Storm have been tagging on and off since last year. They just recently called themselves Beer Money, Inc. I believe enough info can be placed in the article that it can be fairly well written and notable. Also they have had three shots at the belts and finally won them.

I disagree. --T-rex 17:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for example this search confirms the musical score was composed by Michael Giacchino, however none of the results even confirm the album's existence. Conversely, this search does at least confirm the album's existence, but there isn't any coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. PhilKnight (talk) 18:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of false positives certainly is not any proof that better sources do not exist. --T-rex 19:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The album clearly exists (as it can be purchased [50]). It needs some improvement but, as the soundtrack for a major film, is certainly notable. Sources about Michael Giacchino's scoring of the film are readily available with a simple internet search. Basement12 (T.C) 20:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
