This is a spinout from
As I said on the previous page, I feel this topic is quite similar to others found on Wikipedia - company descriptions. I can edit it to be more in line with Wiki's standards, but I don't feel it deserves to be deleted. The guy hired me, yes, but I am a freelancer - I am here to put together words for people who feel they can't do so themselves. I don't feel he wanted this for "promotion" - rather because he felt his achievements and actions were notable. I don't think "solicitation" should be a factor here, and I do not feel this article is advertising in any way; in addition, it has several credible sources. Let me know what I can do to edit both of these (this and Luca A.) to closer match Wiki's standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annaloza (talk • contribs) 00:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, let me point out that although these are the only two articles I have contributed to Wiki thus far, I have had my account for three years prior to this and did not create it recently and solely for this purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annaloza (talk • contribs) 00:54, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Fails notability from what I can see. Additionally, paying someone else to write an article about you or your business is the same as doing it yourself. If it is truely notable it will eventually get written about without paying. Turgan Talk 09:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and rename Junkion: The planet is actually named "Junkion" and "Junk" is the nickname used withing the Transformers' universe. Junkions are central to the plot of the Transformer movies [1]. The Transformers is unquestionably notable. The standard for inclusion as a wikipedia article for elements within a notable fictional work is listed at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). The element that is the subject of this AfD is verifiably important within the work, and the Real-world coverage (movie reviews, ect.) of the subject also indicates that this article is eligible for inclusion.

- Delete- A few passing mentions on a bloggish site just don't cut it as substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources. This article amounts to excessive trivia about a fairly unremarkable aspect of a work of fiction. The fact that the Transformers franchise is undeniably notable does not mean that notability extends to any and all trivia regarding said franchise; all topics are required to demonstrate their own- and this does not.

- Delete- No coverage in reliable, independent sources as far as I can see. There are, however, other unrelated things called "jungle planet": the general concept of planets covered in jungle, and what appears to be a clothing store. Both of these have more of a claim to notability than this minor fictional location, so there should be no prejudice against creating another article of the same name if this one is deleted.

Nominating the remaining members of Category:Lists of fictional characters by superhuman feature or ability. Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of fictional characters by superhuman feature or ability, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters who can fly, and numerous other AFDs linked from those discussions, these lists are not appropriate content on Wikipedia.

The distinction is that there is an attempt being made to make the parasites list something more than indiscriminate. The other three are wasted opportunities that follow the boring "click on the blue link" format.

- Fictional parasites should definitely be considered separately. Weak Delete on the others as directory style listings better handled by categories. I continue to be of the belief that straight lists of articles (as opposed to ordered lists or those with extensive discussion about inclusion criteria or the nature of each entry) that duplicate categories are neither necessary nor helpful but have not generally seen a consensus for such a view. Eluchil404 (talk) 17:04, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for 30 days to give time for most-interested-editors to improve with descriptions, groupings by type, etc., per a specified metric:
- words per entry: >12 (copy lede in?)
- Per prosesize (if it could count prose in lists) ratio of at least 40% prose size(text only)/wikitext.
- or else delete especially if all listed characters are already in a category. --Lexein (talk) 18:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If anyone shows signs of wanting to work on these over the next seven days, then I'd say to reconsider on whichever ones have that quality.

- Keep First of all I thank nominator for notifying users kindly. Lots of AFD nominators does not bother spending time on notifying others and prefer a small AFD with a few people. [In similar manner lots of users doesn't even bother creating content/editing articles anyway]
- Wikipedia has some unique features that cannot be accomplished anywhere else. Yet, people constantly try deleting info valuable for specific users or specific needs. Lots of much more important and extensive comparison table and list based articles about comics have already been deleted. My point: Useful page/category for comic fans/researchers. Not useful to anyone else. If people put effort creating some useful/verifiable content for some readers, people may simply ignore, keep or just improve the page instead wasting time on talk page/AFD debates in long term. My point: whatever you say, the comparative article/categories are valuable and informative for comic fans and experts.
- Some general thoughts on AFDs [not current AFD]: Wikipedia policies are not clear, AFD discussions mostly based on a few or a few dozen coincidental users' opinion who happen to read via AFD tag or watchlist since most of the AFD's don't have a proper notification system. Yet there is no place users can change Wiki policies effectively as individuals. Even most of the AFD guidelines or AFD nominating steps are very vague, AFD nominating is easy with 1 button, but creating or keeping info is harder since there are various deletionist users around.

Big problem is inclusion criteria, keep "parasites" as clear, others need careful thought - problem with eg telekinesis is that in some stories, characters use magic (or indistinguishable-from-magic technology) to move things around, yet our common idea of telekinesis usually involves mysterious "mental powers". It's not obvious whether magic would count. It might be possible to restrict to e.g. characters referred to as having telekinetic power in secondary literature. TheGrappler (talk) 03:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Main vote is below. Axem Titanium (talk) 09:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all per WP:NOTDIR. I'm not accepting the arguments that these cross-categorizations are encyclopaedic. There are too many fictional characters in notable works who use magic for this list to reach any feasible level of completion, and for categorizing characters which meet the general notabiilty guideline, a category would arguably preferable, although I am aware that these lists were created due to the categories being deleted as overly arbitary. --Claritas § 09:53, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That sounds a very reasonable argument for the magic-related lists; the "parasites" one seems rather different (it's certainly the odd one out in the batch), do you think that what you said works quite so well for them? There are certainly very many magic-using characters but I should think a list of fictional parasites is likely to be much shorter? TheGrappler (talk) 11:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete fictional magic users, telekinesis and superhuman speeds; keep fictional parasites. The first three clearly fail communicate 16:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all and make the necessary improvements. list of significant characters with a defined attribute in notable fiction is appropriate. Many of the characters on the lists are not merely significant, but notable, with Wikipedia articles about them. This is farfrom Indiscriminate: a list of magical characters (etc.) in all fiction, notable or not, would be indiscriminate. , or even a list of all characters significant or not which have appeared in notable fiction. But the double limitation here makes it justifiable. "Magical attributes" is a clear distinction, applying to almost all of the characters listed -- as is telekinesis and superhuman speeds. Parasites is unquestionably defined. If individual entries are challenged, they can be discussed in the talk pages. I point out that for almost all of this the work itself is a reliable source, and if sourcing is thought needed, an appropriate line from the work would do. (with respect to the argument about categories, lists and categories are complementary--lists have the advantage of indicating the work, which categories generally cannot, & are thus much better suited for browsing, a key function of lists.) DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- So you're saying that there's WP:NOHARM to these lists as a reason to keep? Axem Titanium (talk) 09:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, his main argument was about navigation implications (list vs category as in WP:CLT) and then thinking about harm. "Harm" would be a sensible reason to delete, so it is valid to consider whether a page does no harm. It is really important for people to work out whether an article is doing harm, please please please don't criticize someone for taking time to think about harm implications at AFD, even if they're conclusion is that the article isn't harmful.

- Keep The justification offered by Axel Titanium for deleting this is "these lists are not appropriate content on Wikipedia.

For such a popular brand, I think it rates its own article, particularly since the parent company, Deckers Outdoor Corporation, has a name that doesn't even resemble the name of the brand.

- Ugg boots, if you'd care to look at the article's Talk page, is all about the generic term "ugg boots" rather than the brand "UGG." Australian editors there have been vigorously trying to evict a lot of material about the company and the brand. Please join me there, and try to convince them that there's plenty of room in that article to talk about the brand, and its trademark and counterfeiting woes.

- Neutral with a leaning towards keep, but a definate dont delete. I did the merge of a number of Deckers products into the Deckers Outdoor Corporation article after this article was previously redirectd as a povfork noting that at that time the article was edited by a sockpuppet of a decker representative. I think from what I've seen on Brand UGG Australia that there is enough sourcing to address notability for a stand alone article, but the problem is that the parent company Deckers lacks enough to make it notable beyojnd a stub, which was why in I suggested the merging of this and other products[11]. An expansion of the Deckers article would see this as a valid daughter at some stage but currently the two are too much a like to warrant the separation. Gnangarra 01:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Qualified keep. This should probably be discussed in the current RfC because the viable issue here is not deletion, but rather the structure and content of a family of related articles. "Ugg" the Australian generic term, and "UGG" the international brand, are distinct matters, both clearly notable. Merging them into the same article would be impractical at this point from a Phillips-Van Heusen, and separate articles for subsidiary brands they have acquired such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger , and Izod. - Wikidemon (talk) 12:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Please consider the fact that Ugg boots already has its own article - and there should be information regarding the branded UGG Boots product in there, along with any copyright or trademark disputes - this makes sense from an encyclopaedic viewpoint. Any further content regarding the business should be in the company article. To have an article for the business division 'UGG Australia' in addition to a separate article on 'UGG Boots' will confuse the average joe user like me who goes to the Ugg boots page wanting to learn about Ugg boots. I'm an inclusionist and I'm all for more articles on Wikipedia - but not duplicates which will confuse people. Cheers IainUK talk 16:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a non-notable splinter group from the International Churches of Christ. Meaningful content is already covered in that article and at Kip McKean.

If anything, the "meaningful content" in the International Churches of Christ article should be moved to this article because the International Churches of Christ fundamentally changed direction, which resulted in the split and formation of the International Christian Churches.

- Keep - Pretty clearly over the notability bar. This from an article in Christianity Today, which is an independent, reliable source: "The icoc, known informally as the Boston Movement, has grown from fewer than 100 people at its founding in 1979 to 185,000 members in 430 churches and 170 countries. The ICOC has recruited intensely among college students, but more than 20 colleges or universities have barred the group from campus. In 1994 the mainline Churches of Christ officially severed ties with the icoc." This source is cited in the article: HERE. Bigger than a breadbox, and controversial to boot... Carrite (talk) 21:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I don't quite have my sectarianism down tightly here, seems like ICOC mentioned above was the source of the ICC faction which is the subject of this article. Still, it's thirty-something churches involved, I believe, and a controversial movement. Carrite (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless I misunderstand you, you are arguing in for the notability of the International Churches of Christ (the splinter group mentioned in Christianity Today, not the International Christian Churches (the splinter group of the splinter group) which is nominated here and not mentioned in Christianity Today.

- Keep (but with changes) A splinter group of 31 churches is probabl;y substantial enough to be a notable denomination. However I have to question the title, which is too grand for a denomination of this size, and should probably acquire a disambiguator. I note that the lead has the name in the singlualr. Carrite cites a 1994 split, but this appears to be the result of a 2006 split. I know nothing directly of the subject, and merely comment on what I observe.

- Keep: The Transformers is unquestionably notable. The standard for inclusion as a wikipedia article for elements within a notable fictional work is listed at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). The element that is the subject of this AfD is verifiably important within the work, and the Real-world coverage of the subject (significantly demonstrated by the homage paid to this fictional planet in the song "Velocitron") also indicates that this article is eligible for inclusion. A Google search for the words “Transformers” and “ Velocitron” gives about 20,800 results.

They're easy to find, you claim. Prove it. Handwaving and not showing the what your searches turned up because "It's so easy." doesn't cut the mustard. If it is easy, no such vague handwaving would be necessary, and you could make a water-tight case with no effort.

- OK, now I've read it enough to have a good handle on what it says. Yes, it's correct. But as Sławomir Biały says, it's the Lagrange interpolation rule plus Cramer's rule, and those are the two parts of it worth having articles about, and we do. When I hear the term "quotients of determinants", as I said above, I immediately think of likelihood ratio tests involving Wishart matrices. But those are quotients of determinants of symmetric nonnegative-definite matrices—not the same thing as these at all. So, as I also said above, that should not be taken to imply that a merger is in order. It isn't. Hence, delete. Michael Hardy (talk) 16:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per discussion at
- Delete. There is content in this article that is in violation of WP:VERIFY which needs to be removed at the very least. The beginning is sourced, but what good is this article being only half complete. Nowyouseemetalk2me 04:03, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, because this is a legitimate chart. And if this information isn't available elsewhere, I think thats even more reason for it to stay. If I want to know a peak on the CAN country chart, I would look here first and foremost. The editor(s) who've maintained the chart over the year do the same process with the U.S. chart and are trustable. CloversMallRat (talk) 14:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep at least the earlier items There does not necessarily need to be an archive, nor does anything have to be available online, for information to be verifiable. However, there must be something published, somehow, maybe separately for each item, for verifiability. If I understand right the Canadian number one country hits were (are?) emailed out each week and, until May 2010, were archived by Billboard (and cited in the article). The article starts in 2010 so previous years are irrelevant. So, the article hits referenced are fine and the article need not be deleted. I think the later hits must have references (since they seem to be being challenged) but I do not understand from the discussion how anyone knows what they are (email, radio programs?). Whether such "publications" could be counted as "reliable", I am not sure. Thincat (talk) 18:57, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have removed the entries for which there are no references and I have also removed the last citation which I found to be broken. Here is the article when it was nominated at AFD[20] and here it is after my edits[21]. To my mind the article does not now violate WP:V although clearly things are in a rather unsatisfactory state both now and, I am told, for the future. As I said above, I believe the article in this form does not qualify for deletion. Thincat (talk) 21:05, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- But even then, you are relying heavily upon a single source. As WP:ONESOURCE says, a subject for which only one source can be cited is unlikely to merit a standalone article. --Dripping oil (talk) 21:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I don't think that is going to cut it, the page is called List of number-one country hits of 2010 (Canada), not Less than half of the number-one country hits of 2010 (Canada). Nowyouseemetalk2me 21:17, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And also, one source alone generally isn't enough for Wikipedia standards especially when it's the self-publisher that you are referencing no matter how reliable the source may be.--Dripping oil (talk) 21:20, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Replying to both: It looks as if a large number of chart hit listings articles depend on a single source (and WP:ONESOURCE is just an essay), but your point is perfectly valid. A poorly named article should be moved, not deleted. Articles and lists are not required to be comprehensive. My own feeling is that the best angle for deletion is to claim lack of notability.

It has sources, and, it was created as a result of these three AfDs I just closed yesterday: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Didgebox, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spiral didgeridoo, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Travel didgeridoo. Please also read Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Spiral didgeridoo in why these didgeridoos are different from traditional ones and should have their own article. —fetch·comms 19:17, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you everybody for input. I'm just going to keep chasing references to build this article up. I think consolidating the modern didgeridoos into one article is a neat and technical solution. There is a plethora of didgeridoo innovations, but I agree that we need the reliable reference material to support their inclusion in Wiki. The sliding didgeridoos and travel didgeridoos now have adequate reliable third party references for inclusion, but I'll have to chase references for other types that I picked up from the merger from the main didgeridoo article or delete their inclusion in this article. So it's turning out to be much tighter referencing. If anyone wants to help please don't hold back. All good. Thank you once again! John Moss (talk) 00:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Energy crop article. Hardyplants (talk) 12:24, 23 ::August 2010 (UTC)
- Puttting it in energy crop would require rewriting that article' entire introduction and reorienting in a way that the term "energy crop" is not usually ujse. I don't know a lot about it, though, and it seems hydrocarbon produucing plants deserve a mention. These plants are unique because of why they are used, namely exploitation of their terpenoid pathways, research engaged in heavily by Calciv, the king of plant pathways. Whatever the name, it can stand alone, but would require an off-topic section in most other articles, by the way, you can also get fuel by exploiting the terpenoid pathway's products to create gasoline. I'll write this article, but I won't add it to another, because it would require an entire other level of research to put it into context, whereas this is an interesting, discrete topic, coupled with a very famous scientist, one of the most famous inm the world.

could you possibly tell me what else this article would need to give it notability? All his books have been published by reputable publishers, He is mentioned in the first paragraph of the Wildside press article. None of the reviews are self published, the references that go back to his pages were just convenient because they provide the actual bibliographic data on each review. and he has edited and co-edited books at Avon, a major publisher. I'm sure I could find a few more news articles on the Red Sox Fan Handbook since that is one of his more notable titles. I've added a little bit more today but a little bit more feedback would be appreciated. (Hidden gecko (talk) 20:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]
I've added in a newstimes.com piece on his Red sox handbook, a reputable secondary source, an interview with redsoxnation.net, and a link to his guide to publishing, which is frequented by publishing industry professionals. In addition I've found a few reviews of his books by third parties. He's also currently writing/compiling a thorough Science Fiction anthology textbook in the vein of a Norton anthology but I can't include that yet because I don't have permission from him to.

He passes #3 using WP:CREATIVE and #2 of WP:BIO based on the books he has edited using Ref 24 on the page you can see he has edited annotated versions of Frankenstein, H.P. Lovecraft, and Dracula to name a few. I also included a link to http://www.newstimes.com/default/article/Fond-memories-inspire-The-Red-Sox-Handbook-239484.php a reputable secondary source about his Red Sox Novel. He was also interviewed by David Laurila http://www.maplestreetpress.com/authors.cfm?author_id=9 a well published Journalist/Author from Baseball Prospectus. I also removed all the links to his reviews since their are redundant to the single link I provided earlier on with the list of reviews he has done.

Notability. Article is for a publisher; article's refs link only to publisher's website and site of a company article says publisher is in business with. 47 non-duplicate ghits are mostly simple listings of books or mentions by the company's authors; no 3rd person coverage of company found. Article created under user name similar to name of co-founder of company; same user has been primary editor. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:32, 15 August 2010 (UTC) Added note - article creator is concerned about whether the page could be recreated should the publisher achieve notability. I assured him that was not likely to be a problem.

Keep. The women is a self confessed serial killer, clearly notable. How famous, or rather infamous does a person need to be, to be included in Wikipedia? The women is a child killer. This article needs cleaned, wikified and linked into other articles of the same ilk. scope_creep (talk) 22:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on the face, it's a standardWP:NOTNEWS case - onetime event about lady who killed her 8 children, but the gravity of it makes it an edge case; or does it? Serial killers are fairly common, there really isn't any thing that unusual that I can see, I could be wrong though. Ryan Norton 08:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I understand the problem of having newsworthy events written up as articles immediately. If we dont write it, it looks silly if its notable, and if we write it and its obviously a news cycle filler, it doesnt belong here and makes us look unprofessional. i get that. but she killed 8 of her own children. Hello? I think it is safe to say that there WILL be hundreds of news articles, many books, endless commentary, and her image in every book on serial killers/mass murderers starting within a year. Serial killers are NOT that common. its just that with 7 billion people, we have a larger number each year. even more uncommon are females, and more so than that, females who kill their child, and even more so, females who kill most or all of their children, and even more notable, such females with 8 or more children. I wish people would stop invoking "one event" as if being known only for one event means someone is not notable. would lee harvey oswald have had an article on WP in 1962? no, but his doings in 62 are sure notable now. She is notable for one event, but that one event is highly notable. we wont know how notable she is for other parts of her life until the biographers have written them. i would suggest a rename to something like Dominique Cottrez murders if people dont want her as the subject, but that may seem contrived.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:44, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- My comment wasn't really a !vote either way; you have some good points. I was kind of trying to think of an alternative to keeping a pure bio article, but I don't see one; as you mention would be awkward to call it "Dominique Cottrez massacre" or something. At that point it is an editorial matter I suppose though... Ryan Norton 08:53, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - as #Mercurywoodrose above, I get the difficulty of separating "ephemerally prominent" from "permanently noteworthy", and that that's not always easy without the perspective of time. But is there really much doubt about this one? Eight of her own children? The Fritzl article is under Fritzl case - how about Dominique Cottrez case?
