Graeme Swann's Ball of the Century

Graeme Swann's Ball of the Century (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD) • Afd statistics

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

The relatively slight, short-term notability of this event in respect to the actual Ball of the Century suggests to me that this article is candidate for deletion. Arguements at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shakib Al Hasan's Ball of the Century provide context for this kind of thing also. Essentially, not notable enough for its own article, the coverage and significance was short-lived and no where near like usurping that of the original event. Deserves short mention on Graeme Swann and perhaps on the original Warne article only. S.G.^(GH) _ping! 21:34, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The incident passed me by entirely, and I was keeping tabs on that test, and not readin the tabloids. For my money neither the ball, nor the test series were culturally significant due to other incidents and allegations surrounding the series, and the resultant lack of competition from Pakistan during the series.

Was this ball so notable as to be worth including in the main Swann article? I do not think so. I do not think it should be included in the original Warne article, as it detracts from the uniqueness of what genuinely was a 'ball of the century' (and I am an English cricket fan).

  every bit player seems to imagine that it rates an encyclopedia article. This business specializes in offering a variety of IT services by Outsourcing the work of companies located in diverse locations across the globe. In other words, they don't really deal with the general public under their actual name, did not originate the sorts of service they perform, and perform it to someone else's direction. Absent very unusual circumstances firms of this sort don't do anything with the sort of historical, technical, or cultural significance that turns them into encyclopedia subjects. Nothing here makes that case; rather, it's all about offering a bouquet of services that are innovative at their heart and yet uncompromising in the quality and work ethic they bring to any and every project.

Etiquette in North America

Etiquette in North America (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD) • Afd statistics

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

This article consists mostly of a long list of entries saying that it's rude to do this or that. It completely lacks scholarly sources, it doesn't seem to mention politeness theory (face needs, etc.) at all, and its tone is rather unencyclopedic. I'd like to see an unbiased article written from a sociological perspective, and I don't see any path from this article to that one. Bob A (talk) 18:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I suppose that one could make the same objections to all of the articles in Category:Etiquette lists. Etiquette, as with other aspects of culture, is certainly an encyclopedic topic, and people who consult these very general articles actually are looking for information on what's considered rude within a particular culture, rather than an explanation of the evolution of individual customs. A link to politeness theory could be inserted by editing, but it wouldn't be a large portion of an article. There's nothing to stop you from writing a better, unbiased article about North Amercian etiquette from a sociological perspective, of course, and it would be a useful supplement or replacement to this. In addition, if you see something that is inaccurate or untrue, you may edit it out without seeking approval. Mandsford 21:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not being American, I'm not in a very good position to do this. My problem with the way this information is presented is that the tone seems unencyclopedic to the point of being POV, and it's quite hard to get a sense of how much of this is an accurate reflection of social customs in the U.S. and Canada, and how much is somebody's prescription. Another problem that I forgot to mention in the nomination is that this article tries to cover both the United States and Canada, but not Mexico, despite its title. I'm not even sure how much of it is pertinent to Canada. Bob A (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd add that problems with the title of an article are the easiest to fix. Changing the tone of the writing is a little bit more of an editing task, but not insurmountable. When the topic isn't appropriate for a its own article, then the question comes up about whether the information should be placed elsewhere. Otherwise, throwing out the whole thing is a last resort. Mandsford 13:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I think it needs sources from actual scholars and not just etiquette writers, but it's a worthwhile sociological topic. Roscelese (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The fact that an article is bad is not a reason for deletion. This article is a valid spin-off from etiquette, just like etiquette in Japan, etiquette in Asia, etiquette in the Middle East, etiquette in Europe, etc. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 02:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is definitely not a word that belongs in a dictionary, but an encyclopedia like this, as it is about technique that is utilized by the media and politicians (along with scam artists). I have gone ahead and added references to the article to show this. I feel that it is an extremely notable subject. Silverseren^C 18:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The article is much improved. I think it is now a borderline case. I'm not going to withdraw the nomination since still the article is much more about the expression than the thing. For instance there is no information on if it is effective or not, and things like that. Borock (talk) 16:47, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out the fact that the state of the article is completely irrelevant to its notability. The article could be a single line with no references, but that wouldn't change the obvious notability of the subject from the numerous references that have the possibility of being added. They do not have to be added to confirm notability, they just have to be out there to show that the subject is notable. Silverseren^C 19:09, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:NSONG also says "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." I'm sure sure this can be expanded beyond a stub, so I'd keep the merge option open. But as it charted (just), it's definitely not something for deletion.

Dear all, I have added three online external references (see links below) from reliable sources (articles from the Washington Post, from the European Space Agency, and from John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences) that prove that, Homo Spaciens, is a term commonly used in the field of space exploration to explain our future evolution. Then, this is not an original thought, nor a review, or an invention, and it's been there since many years. Therefore, I encourage all editors to re-consider their position before recommend its deletion. Thank you. Homospaciens (talk) 19:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak neutral, leaning towards delete Having reviewed the article, as well as the new sources added, I still have some concerns. The german-language book-length reference seems a positive step in the right direction, but in general, the entire article seems like its been cobbled together from very disparate sources to advance a position which none of them individually support. Yes, I can see that the words "Homo spaciens" to describe the putative "next step in human evolution" is used occasionally, but I also cannot see where the existing sources support the lengths that this article takes it. In other words, I still don't see this as a serious topic, either from a cultural point of view, or a scientific one, and beyond just "a term some people use" I can't find any other reason to keep this article around. --96.255.208.104 (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  ]

I understand your positions regarding the fact that this article has been synthesized from the sources cited. But, I do not agree with the statement that "the result is not supported by the sources". Other space topics, such as space colonization, space exploration, and many more have been synthesized in a similiar way. Anyway, according to my point of view, and after reading all the sources cited, and being in the space industry for more than a decade, this is my best approach to give an accurate view regarding this topic. I would love to see, instead of simple criticisms, more people adding, re-writing, or giving more points of view related to this topic, and not only arguments on how the Wikipedia policies are interpreted. From my side this is it. Thank you all for your comments. Homospaciens (talk) 15:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I narrowly declined a speedy deletion request on this one, because of a possibly credible claim of importance (lots of offline refs cited). I think a few more eyes are required to determine whether or not this guy is notable enough. I suspect not.  —SMALLJIM  14:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that the article has been lengthened, however, I do not see anything that would enhance Slavin's notability. Having pictures taken with a celebrities and "partying" with celebrities doesn't make his notability as an actor and a filmmker any more notable. I've partied with celebrities too, does this make me notable? FrancisDrake (talk) 19:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, as nominator. I've now done a bit of online research (all I can do in the circumstances) and I've found a few references on Google News:
  This from the UK Daily Mail newspaper, which shows him standing next to someone notable,
  this from a local paper which goes into a bit more detail about the same encounter,
  this from another local newspaper showing him standing in front of something potentially newsworthy,
  this from the same local paper which mentions him in passing,
  this from Houston Press which lists him some way down a list of the actors in a film, and
  this from The Boston Globe which lists him last in the final para.
  None of the above articles are about him, and I think it would be most unusual if the cited refs that are not available online were the only ones that showed notability . Ah - and I've just found this (see page two) from his local paper which is mostly about Hollywood East, but in which Slavin explains his desire for fame.  —SMALLJIM  20:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDB does not list Chuck Slavin as being in The Great Debaters, either under the film or his name, This was the film that his name is listed on at the Houston Press site. FrancisDrake (talk) 04:48, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with no prejudice to recreation at some future time when the subject's career has developed beyond its beginning stages. While the performances can be documented, they are not indicative in themselves of notability. They were not reviewed by either the mainstream press (apart from the ones with the Halcyon ensemble in the
  Sydney Morning Herald [10] and the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra in The Age [11]) or in the specialist press, and in both reviews there was only a brief mention of him. He has not conducted any recordings either. Most of the performances result from his time as a "Young Conductor in Association" with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra [12], a masterclass with the London Symphony Orchestra [13], and conducting the youth rather than main orchestra of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic [14]. Having said that, a couple of points about evaluation of the sources themselves. The article from La Tercera is not on a "blog". Halcyon is a performing ensemble not a "casting agency" as stated above. See the review in the Sydney Morning Herald and this radio broadcast (scroll down to 8 pm). Every one of sources is online, or in a PDF file of printed matter posted online, and there's no need for a source to be online at all. Off-line printed material, e.g. books, journal articles, etc. are perfectly valid sources.

• Comment -- There have been a limited number of habeas corpus petitions filed on behalf of the captives in Bagram. It was very difficult for lawyers in the USA to learn the identities of the captives held in Bagram, but they succeeded in doing so a few times. For those who don't know,
  US District Court Judge in Washington ruled that most Bagram captives were not eligible to access the US court system. They ruled that only those captives who were not captured in Afghanistan, and who were taken to Afghanistan by the USA were eligible to access the US court system.

  I have no problem merging the other habeas petitions from Bagram captives into a single article, and I suggest this now. IMO the assertion that this topic is not notable is not supportable.

  For what it is worth the Grizwold article is still available online. I came across a new link to it just a couple of days ago. I would take the time to fix that reference, and add additional references to bring this article up to date -- if it weren't that a recent flood of {{xfd}} over articles or userspace pages I started simply does not allow me enough time to do so.

Alright, call me an idiot, but I really think we ought to attempt to establish what the guideline is on these commentators. Artosis and tasteless, two more famous people (at least in korea) don't have articles, mainly because I decided that they probably didn't have enough coverage, as most of it was sort of like the coverage below. I know that there are a couple interviews, but the question becomes, is this really significant independent sourcing? This is a neutral AfD. It needs to be determined what the interpretation of GNG is for esports commentators. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 08:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep & Comment - the final ref, though published on Eurogamer features a freelance writer who's only written one article for Eurogamer. Notability would have to be established for this source. His about me page may shed some light. The NPR article is written by a programmer for NPR, and not a writer. I'd like to see established notability here as well. The PC Gamer article is written by the site's editor, so I'm satisfied there. The YouTube channel is definitely a situational source, but is fine for what it's used for (also it's his official channel, so that has some merit). The ART Tecnhica article looks fine to. I see no reason to delete. However in the spirit of establishing precedent the sources should really scrutinized, looking at both the URL and the author, as it seems like freelancer writers sneak in on these sorts of articles. --Teancum (talk) 14:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Notability isn't an issue for 1-2 article freelance writers. If their work is published by a reliable, fact-checking source, then their experience, or lack thereof, is completely irrelevant. Should they make a mistake, the editorial team is expected to correct it. Wikipedia doesn't judge each writer separately unless the site's own reliablility is called into question; as far as I know, this is not the case with Eurogamer or NPR.

• Redirect:
  StarCraft (series), similar to how some of the more prominent competitors are mentioned in StarCraft and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
  Regarding the sources, I agree with Jimmy. The sources overall are considered reliable because they have editorial oversight on the content, include that by freelancers. But again, the sources mainly deal with just his role as a commentator. So even if they are reliable, they don't paint a broad picture of notability.

• Merge somewhere I don't have an objection to the content, as it is sufficiently sourced. However, the content makes for an extremely weak biographical article. The content seems to address a trend, of which Husky just happens to be an example. The sources are about video game commentating and the people who do it, they're not really about Mike Lamond. If we have an article about video game commentating, that would be the ideal place to have this content. All the other commentators who have sources but lack notability could also be mentioned there.

I'm going to make changes as there are significant differentiators that are noteworthy. For starters, 2 patents are pending: 1 for object-based deduplication where data commonality across enterprise PCs is reduced 3-5x more aggressively than current state-of-the-art block-based technologies. The second involves groundbreaking technology that enables a mobile user to communicate a backup to a corporate data center without creating a VPN or or having to have firewall ports opened. Aside from these differentiators, it's curious to me why others are deemed noteworthy, significant, or important yet they lack references, they are basic descriptions, or otherwise run-of-the-mill.

This page has gone uncited for four years. The article is contradictory (see one such excerpt below) and is just a mess in general.

"Other researchers have claimed that the "Badge Man" image is the sun-reflected outline of a soda pop bottle sitting atop the cement retaining wall. Marilyn Sitzman, who was standing a few yards from the retaining wall, saw a young black couple eating lunch on a bench behind that wall, and heard a soda bottle crash just after the motorcade passed by. Photos and films immediately afterwards do show a bottle sitting atop the retaining wall.{{

Grouping the relevant articles under one nomination would also be useful.

• Keep - this EP was reviewed at AllMusic, with a link already in the article. That usually suffices for a stub album article, but my vote is "weak" because the EP was not noticed too much elsewhere.

Notability is not shown for this organisation/meditation centre.

As a matter of fact, most of the claims about the centre in the article are unreferenced; most of the existing references are used to define concepts used in the article and don't mention the centre at all, and it does not look as if the centre itself has been the subject of third-party publications to a notable degree. bonadea contributions talk 10:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The notability of Mr Wilson is not in question. Both the sources you mention here are articles about Paul Wilson. The first of these articles includes the sentence He founded his own research centre, The Calm Centre, employing a team of psychologists and an electroencephalograph (an EEG machine, which records electrical impulses in the brain) to try to measure the impact of meditation.; the second interview includes the sentence He runs a non-profit- making Calm Centre in Sydney, peopled by researchers and psychologists. That is the sum of what is said about the Calm Centre. And that goes for all the other sources in the article as well: where the centre is mentioned at all, the mentions are

trivial. I have not been able to find any other reliable sources that write about the centre in more depth. This doesn't come close to meeting the "significant reliable coverage" criterion for the centre. --bonadea contributions talk 14:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply

There is no evidence that the Abu Obeida (or Abu Abaida, I have no idea why the article is at the former and not at the latter title) has received any significant attention in reliable independent sources. Tagged for notability for over a year by now. Searches return one Google Book result[37], no Google Scholar results[38], no Google News (archives) results[39], and 99 distinct Google results[40], dropping to 66 if you remove the most obvious wikipedia copies[41]. Most of these are either unreliable sources (further Wikipedia copies), or reproductions of the DoD documents already in the article, or very passing mentions. Searches for Abu Obeida instead of Abu Abaida give slightly more results, because Abu Obeida is (part of) the name of a number of persons. No additional sources for an Abu Obeida training camp could be found though. Fails

Delete None of the positions he has held confer notability. Barristers and advisers to politicians aren't notable roles in themselves. The sourcing simply confirms that he is a local councillor who has been involved in a few local news stories. Nothing of significance beyond that. According to the article, he might run for parliament and might be elected, if both of those happen we can recreate the article then. Valenciano (talk) 01:13, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Failed rationale; please tell the world how a history section split out of main, summary-style, article is a HOWTO? How to what? Make a clone of Mediawiki once again?

• Entirely devoid of secondary sources or any particular argument for notability. Articles which are split from their parent texts still need to have a claim to notability themselves, as it isn't inherited. This is either a copy of an external set of release notes, or a hand-compiled summary of the same, and neither are appropriate here without reliable secondary sourcing.
