Erroneous article. There is not, nor ever has been, such a position as United States Ambassador to North Korea. Nor is there likely to be such a position in the forseeable future, given the state of relations between the United States and North Korea. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 21:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Move. It is beyond me why the article should be deleted when it could simply be renamed. Even the infobox has the correct title. See

If the article is moved, the correct title should be "Special Representative for North Korea Policy", according to the reference given by the contributor above. But he is not a representative TO North Korea. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to something like "Diplomatic relations between the United States and North Korea." This is the topic of the article. Leaving the other title as a redirect and a item on templates is fine. When people want to know about the non-existent ambassador they will be directed to the place where they will get the correct information. BigJim707 (talk) 22:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is an existing article

That is mainly about the history of the relationship, bad as that has been. This article is about the formal diplomatic relationship. I guess you could merge this one into the other as a section at the end, but I think this one can stand on its own. BigJim707 (talk) 03:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename Wikipedia's policy on article titles says that "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's 'official' name as an article title but instead should use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. Ambassador sounds like the most frequently used term for this sort of position, but since the sources so not use that word, I propose a rename to "Special envoy" or "Special representative". I oppose a merge because the subject is independent of issues of US/NK relations; the position is notable in its own right. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

. A couple of notes:

  • To new contributors with "few or no other edits outside this topic." Anyone who brings a sound, policy-based argument to the table will carry weight. Same goes for references, re-writes in draft space, all that. But this is not a vote, and the decision is not made by counting the number of emboldened "Keeps." Thanks for coming and taking part in the process, though.
  • To everyone else: Don't abuse the "few or no other edits outside this topic" tag.
  • Colonel Warden and Carrite both discuss precedent. It's easy to locate articles of this sort, using the left hand side bar, Toolbox -> Special Pages -> All pages with prefix (under the "Lists of pages" header, second one down) From this we get
While precedent is not binding since
fact
}} you, so to speak.

I'm going to redirect this, but merges are editorial only, so the discussion now must move to the target article's talk page, Thanks for coming,

  • That was my thought exactly! How to balance these "Criticism of..." articles. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strictly speaking, criticism does not necessarily mean fault-finding. True criticism is, or should be, an objective analysis of the faults and merits of a particular phenomenon (see Criticism). Just as a film critic does not necessarily pan a film, he might give it two thumbs up. Nevertheless, these Criticism of.. articles in Wikipedia for the most part focus on the fault-finding and negative aspects of a particular institution. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:48, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Yes, this is appropriate as a separate article. And I can understand why there wouldn't be "praise" articles as a practice, and such articles would be heavily targeted and argued over. This topic would have even more interest and relevance in light of the "Book of Mormon" Broadway musical, and I could see even Mormon scholars being interested in this; it shouldn't be meant to bash or carry an agenda, it should be historical in nature, and this seems to fit. It even seems fitting to keep this as a separate article since many would balk at this information being contained within the main article, and who would want the edit wars then?

Comment: It feels like this is being looked at the wrong way somehow. Yes, so many articles on "criticism of" exist, and have good reason to. It should come down to whether it's NOTABLE, thus the article should stand by the standard of
WP:BITE and other means, and that isn't very cool. Warden also slapped an SPA label on CD-HOST above, and if you look at his edit history, the attempt to stack the deck here via a subtle "credibility attack" seems obvious. Now, stop it! LaLaFoote (talk) 20:08, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

  • Merge- This is a tough call. There is already a
    Criticism of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints page and I'm wondering if a merge there might be a solution. I don't like this article and hate the way it is footnoted (five stacked footnotes to "document" a subjective statement, no page numbers, etc.). I think, in general, that "Criticism of..." pieces should be a section at the bottom of the main article about that which is being criticized. There's nothing whatsoever in the way of criticism at Latter Day Saint movement and that would be another highly likely target for merger. I have a hunch that the Jets and the Sharks would be going at it with switchblades if a criticism section was ported there, however. There is something to be said in favor of valoric discretion to keep another Mormon musical from breaking out. Carrite (talk) 14:14, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

The references available fail to show any

significant coverage of this lawyer, they are just very brief mentions regarding certain cases. Other than those I could only find this post - frankie (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply
]

William Kroger is an active advocate of the medical marijuana and cannabis legalization movement in Los Angeles. The nature of his cases and his involvement in cases that are on the cutting edge of legal decisions regarding privacy, drug law and drug legalization are what make him a notable figure and the reasons why his article should stand. He is one of the individuals responsible for drafting the medical marijuana ordinance in Los Angeles, which was cited in reference No. 6 (http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/05/charges_dismissed_against_marijuana_dispensary_ope.php). Kroger has been quoted in The Huffington Post, ABC News -- he is recognized as a subject matter expert in matters of drug legalization and the legality of medical marijuana. If you look at the articles cited, he is often the attorney representing medical marijuana dispensaries and gives advice to growers and dispensers through his YouTube channel. Also, the facts of the thetokeofthetown.com post are included in the 10th reference (http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/05/marijuana_case_inglewood.php). - Pln9mg (talk 21:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the cases he's been involved with have received media coverage, but the mentions of him are merely incidental as one of the parts of the case. Being contentious, his line of work does naturally attract slightly more attention than usual, but at this point there are no sources available that provide any significant coverage - frankie (talk) 21:54, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just "incidental" that he's part of the case, and it's not like he was just some lawyer that happened to represent these dispensaries and growers. He was sought out by medical marijuana dispensaries and by growers to represent them -- why? Because he has a track record of knowing and being a part of the legal mechanisms that made medical marijuana legal in Southern California a reality. He's recognized as a subject matter expert by the media. If his notoriety is "incidental" because of the circumstances that surround him and because of that he's not worthy of a wikipedia page, by that test it could be argued that almost anyone of any note would not be. I also argue again that the work that Kroger is doing, that has been reported in the media, is important and noteworthy. Also, should it be a strike against him is that he doesn't have a PR team that can land him profiles in The Los Angeles Times and The New Yoker? - Pln9mg (talk 23:41, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not incidental that he's part of the case, and I have no reason to doubt that he is sought as a lawyer due to his capability as such. What is incidental is the little coverage that he has received due to his participation in those cases, and there aren't any sources that make him the subject of attention in a way that could meet

Wafah Dufour

Wafah Dufour (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Although there has been significant coverage of Wafah Dufour, it is my opinion that she is not notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. For better or for worse, her claim to fame is that she is related to Osama Bin Laden. As a singer/songwriter, she is unsigned and has not released a record. As a reality TV star, her show was never produced. I'm not sure what would constitute notability as a model. If a person has significant coverage, we presume there is notability, but I think that she falls into the category of What Wikipedia Is Not. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Bin Laden had very many relatives. Do we need to have an article for each one? I'd say her mother, who also has an article about her, is arguably more notable due to the fact that she wrote a book. Which brings me to me next point: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Perhaps Wafah Dufour will become notable in the future, but it is equally possible that her first album will never come to fruition. Extrapolating from this phrase, "In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual," my feeling is that we should delete the article. I look forward to hearing others' views. GentlemanGhost (talk) 15:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Although I am not sure what Wafah has accomplished as a singer, model or other entertainment personality, she does appear to have received a significant amount of publicity throughout the world, over a period of several years, for her efforts to publicize herself in those occupations. See this Google News Search, which on the first page of results alone shows mentions of her in English-, Spanish-, French-, Turkish-, Portuguese-, Vietnamese-, and German-language media. It is true that Osama Bin Laden had something like 300 nieces and nephews. However, most of them don't seek the public spotlight and are not mentioned in the media. Wafah has sought out the public spotlight and received it to some extent. The fact that she is still receiving some publicity more than eight years after she started to receive publicity indicates that there is continuing interest in her, even if she has not achieved stardom. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your thoughts! You raise a good point. My question is, does publicity equate with notability? I definitely think there are enough reliable sources which have written about her, but despite that, I'm not sure it justifies her inclusion. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 17:39, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We are not supposed to echo or initiate tabloid-style sensational coverage of individuals. But, what does it mean if we were to decide that coverage was mere publicity? Wouldn't that require us to make decisions based on our personal POV, in violation of
WP:NPOV? In Wafah Dufour's case there is sufficient coverage of her, on a variety of topics, to flesh out an article. You mention OBL having 300 nieces and nephews. Given that he had close to five dozen half-siblings he may have even more than 300400 relatives. And we wouldn't even consider starting articles about ninety percent of them because we wouldn't have sufficient reliable sources to provide meaningful coverage. Consider this article on OBL's relatives, written after his death. It mentions just 3 of those 300 -- including Wafah Dufour. I don't think there is any question that she is within the small subset of OBL's relatives who merit an individual article. Geo Swan (talk) 18:29, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

In my opinion, this is a blatant use of the encyclopedia for event promotion. Using a poster to illustrate the page demonstrates the slippery slope issues at play. Not all sporting events are notable. Provided sources for event are sports blogs. As I stated in the AfD procedure for this event's predecessor (which has already occurred and not drawn significant resonance from the kickboxing media): "Filling in a redlink on a notable fighter's kickboxing record seems a low bar for inclusion."

Keep The contributor has already added sources and it’s obvious that more details will emerge as the event occurs. I would suggest people wait till the outcome of the first Super Kombat page before nominating extra pages as it does feel like the kickboxing pages are under siege by deletionists who are nominating what seems to be every single page. As mentioned in previous nominations this is a notable up and coming promotion which has notable fighters competing in a tournament format competition with tv and media interest from across the world including Eurosport one of the top sports channels in Europe. If you have any idea about mma or kickboxing think 3rd most notable in Europe behind
United Glory (about 4th or 5th globally). This is an important event and it should not be deleted on notability issues. If people think we are here to promote events in some sort of sinister manner you are wrong. We are fans who are passionate about our sport. Thank you. jsmith006 (talk

  • Delete. Per nom. Similar articles are being proposed for deletion, and my assumption is that the same supporting editors of these "events" will be voicing their support and outrage. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SuperKombat World Grand Prix I. Many, like Cyperus, appear to take these nominations personally and make silly threats (see above).--Bbb23 (talk) 14:29, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (to above) Your assumption is absolutely correct Bbb23 although your reasons are not. If many people are taking it personally then maybe it’s because you aren’t very good at communication. Calling Cyperus threats silly because he cares about his pages and is genuinely upset about his (sourced and notable) pages being nominated is pretty cold (not very fitting for a person who doesn't like mean people according to his profile). If I’d have had you guys ganging up on me two years ago I probably wouldn’t be here either. We may seem like stupid kickboxing fans who aren’t into philosophy or the wonders of the universe but the events we write about are notable for kickboxing. The recent (possibly deliberate) targeting of our pages by people with little or no knowledge of the sport, actually appears very unfair esp as sources have been applied and weaker pages haven't got a mention. I’ve worked on kickboxing pages for over two years here and never had a problem till recently – it’s quite distressing to see something you have worked on for two years seemingly being undone before our eyes. jsmith006 (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2011
Comment. It's human and understandable after investing time and energy in an article to want to keep it, even though, of course, none of us
owns the articles we work on or create. However, Cyperus's comments go well beyond such a response, screaming and crying abuse and conspiracy. "Silly" is a nicer word than he deserves. Frankly, you're part of the problem as phrases like "ganging up" and "possibly deliberate" are clearly euphemisms for the same allegations of conspiracy. Anyway, fortunately, Cyperus has you to comfort him and to encourage such misguided views. See here.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:01, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

To above - Well done for checking his talk page – you really got me there. Of course I’m going to offer support. If I’m correct you were the one who had some sort of argument with Cyperus to start with – before I’d even begun my role as ‘comforter’ so to accuse me as part of the problem is absolutely laughable. Cyperus is a young user who is only just getting to grips with Wikipedia, to who English is a second language, and you a supposed hater of ‘mean people’ could have been more understanding given the circumstances. One last thing, have you even checked how many kickboxing pages have been nominated recently
K-1 Rumble of the Kings 2009 in Stockholm, KOK Europe GP 2011 in Vilnius/KOK Europe GP 2011 in Chişinău – if this isn’t a concerted effort by deletionists (one in particular) then I don’t know what is.

What an earth are you talking about – I’m part of the problem – what problem is that, resistance to you guys? I don’t remember ever going around to multiple pages and slapping a deletion symbol without even consulting anyone. I haven’t gone around saying that you’d better not create anymore pages until this is sorted out. All I’ve done is stuck to my subject of speciality and created pages. If you think it’s a good thing to make things so rigid that people in certain fields are scared to contribute or are driven off because they don’t want to have to deal with this sort of thing – then yes (to you) I must be part of the problem. jsmith006 (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2011

I started this article, and I partly agree with the above comments. Scholars have long debated the connection between Japanese and Tamil, but to rule off by saying "There's no relation at all between Tamil and Japanese" is ridiculous. And "The Japanese romanization isn't even correct for many of these." if you mean 'ou' instead of 'ō', that is a common transliteration style used as it forgoes the need of having to use the diacritic mark for elongated.

I agree that the article should be deleted, not for the above reasons, but because I have yet to find a near exhaustive list of cognates, while Japanese and Tamil show structural similarities (I speak both), because of their outside influence from Chinese and Sanskrit respectively it is hard to draw definite conclusions. Time to hit the Susumu Ouno sensei's books.

(July 5, 2011) Charles Morrow is an extremely important figure in avant-garde music of the latter 20th century, both for his own compositions as well as his activities in the field, e.g. the New Wilderness Foundation, EAR Magazine (one of the pioneering publications devoted to experimental music). In fact there is in entry for him in The Grove Dictionary of American Music, an extremely significant and authoritative reference source. The new 3 CD set just issued by Phill Niblock's XI label (Experimental Intermedia) should do a great deal toward rectifying Morrow's seeming neglect in recent years.

This article was the subject of an AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nickerson Family Association) over three years ago. As the archived discussion indicates, there was weak support for keeping the article, with

  • Gdavid3 (talk · contribs) saying "Please add more appropriate citations from reliable sources...and see what develops"
  • Limetolime (talk · contribs) saying "Needs refs"
  • Michael A. White (talk · contribs) (who proposed deletion) saying "Contested prod; non-notable family organization, no significant coverage in independent reliable sources"

WP:SPA added more unreferenced detail. It's July 2011, and the hoped-for improvement in secondary sources during the last AFD has not come to past.

  • Comment LibStar, I think it is important to consider that martial arts events in general do not receive a great deal of press in newspapers of record like the NYTimes, etc. They do, however, receive write-ups by dedicated MMA news sites such as www.fighting.com, which is owned by AOL, and Sherdog, which is an ESPN affiliate. These sites do independent reporting, have editorial staff, and frequently receive press clearance to attend these events in that capacity. These are not fan created sites or blogs by non-experts. Failure to find Gnews hits doesn't mean that something is by definition not-notable. It is a starting point, not the final answer. Newspapers run stories that they think will appeal to readers, which means that non-traditional sports do not receive the same amount of coverage as traditional sports like football and baseball. It seems to me like your string of nominations of MMA and kickboxing articles are based on the idea that non-traditional sports should receive the kind of news coverage that traditional sports do (in non-niche publications), but this is a tautological argument. Once something receives that kind of coverage, it will likely no longer be characterized as non-traditional. I had suggested that references exist for this page in another Afd debate, but rather than encouraging me to find and add them, you quickly nominated the article for deletion. Why the rush to quickly remove so many martial-arts related articles? There are many editors who would be willing to work with you to improve these articles, for which notability is not as black and white as you are making in seem in your noms. I am happy to provide references for this page, but I wish you had done a more thorough job of searching for them yourself before nominating the article. I have nominated several MMA articles for deletion, so I am not advocating that everything be retained. I am advocating that you familiarize yourself with the types of secondary sources that are generally cited in articles of this type and recognized by the community of editors who have helped several such articles receive "good article" status. Not doing so, and continuing to nominate pages with the same argument of "no substantial coverage" (and by the way, a failure to find third-party coverage is not grounds for deletion; secondary sources that allow information to be verified is sufficient) can give people the impression that you enjoy being adversarial rather than collegial. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 19:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
not thorough search? I searched 3 different means and found nothing. If I found substantial coverage I would not have nominated it. " a failure to find third-party coverage is not grounds for deletion" it definitely is, please read
WP:GNG. This may not be a mainstream sport but we don't lower the bar for notability because you want to. LibStar (talk) 02:53, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply
]
I was confusing "third-party coverage" for tertiary sources, which is why I was suggesting that secondary sources would be acceptable. You made no claim about the necessity for tertiary sources. Yes, you are correct that third-party coverage is necessary for notability. I have made the change to my previous post to correct for this misinterpretation. Let's at least agree that the notion of third-party coverage in secondary sources is a complex idea and jargony expression that is prone to misstatement. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 17:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I’m not as big a fan of mma as kickboxing but this is a notable promotion in Australia and one of the bigger promotions outside of the USA – there are a large number of fighters who have had experience in the top organizations such as PRIDE, Strikeforce and the UFC, some of who have been top 10 ranked fighters – see Josh Barnett and Paul Daley who for whatever reason are fighting outside of the top events. I would suggest giving time to improve the article as opposed to deletion which I feel is harsh. I also feel that the removal of this page will affect other mma pages and this will detract from wikipedia’s usefulness. If this was an event in a back room in Alabama with few notable fighters I would agree with its deletion but Impact clearly have enough pull to attract good fighters to its cards in what is a growing MMA market in Australia. Remember just because an event is not held in the USA by the UFC does not mean it is not relevant or notable in the context of mma. Thanks.jsmith006 (talk) 21:03, 3 July 2011

  • Comment thanks I would have to look at this closer, I just wish these kind of links were in the main article rather than poorly sources articles created in the first place. I'm not sure how third party MMA and sherdog.com is. Usatoday counts as a reliable source. LibStar (talk) 00:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that having the references in the article would be great, but certainly the same can be said for lots of other wiki pages. Not every article is going to be perfect. Tagging pages as needing additional references is a good way to attract the attention of people actively involved in maintaining them. Or, you could start a discussion on the page to see if others could come up with references that you might have missed. I think that part of the reason you seem to be drawing a lot of criticism in AfD discussions is because you are nominating a slew of pages for deletion without taking these steps, and in some cases, not informing the page creator when the page is up for deletion. These steps encourage people to improve pages. AfD discussions immediately make people defensive since the stakes are high (no one wants to see the result of their efforts disappear, particularly when they suspect that the nominator does not have the same familiarity with the subject matter or sources that frequently report on it). Discussions about notability are important, but nominating articles for deletion is not always the best way to encourage these discussions and achieve constructive results. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and am still learning, but these are some of the lessons I have found helpful along the way. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 04:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"I think that part of the reason you seem to be drawing a lot of criticism in AfD discussions is because you are nominating a slew of pages for deletion without taking these steps" I have number of multiple searches for sources for each deletion. the criticism does not phase me, as these series of articles all have questionable notability (and lack third party sources) as sporting events. LibStar (talk) 04:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Of course the criticism doesn't phase you it just means that you nominate more pages. Almost every single deletion nomination in the martial arts section is down to you - what is that you find so threatening about martial arts Libstar and why are you refusing to notify the owners? jsmith006 (talk) 20:16, 4 July 2011
  • Comment I also wish that the sources that are being mentioned in these AfD discussions were incorporated into the articles. I don't know who owns sherdog or is responsible for the content, so I don't know how independent a source it is, but I would say it's probably the premier website for MMA. Papaursa (talk) 02:24, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sherdog has its own staff of independent journalists and subject-matter experts that report on events happening around the globe. As you know, Sherdog's record of fight results is the de facto standard for every single MMA fighter page on Wikipedia. To interested parties, the names of the editorial team and contributors can be found here. To my knowledge, writers are independent of fighters and fight promotions. Their failure to be a mouthpiece for UFC brass has actually created quite a stir from time to time. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 04:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, there is plenty of precedence for adding material verbatim from public domain sources on Wikipedia, and adding a note at the bottom of the article.

I would need to see a way to reference every paragraph in this article for me to consider it well-referenced. If you formatted your background reading reference into an inline citation and then inserted it 20 times or however many times it needs to go in, then that would be a starting point for other people to add their own references without confusing what came from what source. It might be the case that the same citation needs to go at the end of every sentence, especially if as little as one other reference were added to each paragraph. I see that this reference is to a website which generates temporary dynamic content, so I understand why it is not possible to make direct references to the exact section headings. Still, the user deserves some explanation of how to verify the source, and that is not clear right now.
Here are some statements which seem to me like speculation or personal opinions:
  • "Until the end of the 1970s, the fruits of economic growth were largely negated by population increases"
  • "In the 1980s one of the most visible signs of the economic "revolution" was the appearance in Chinese cities of large quantities of relatively modern, varied, colorful clothes, a sharp contrast to the monotone image of blue and gray suits that typified Chinese dress in earlier years. "
  • "In 1978 there were only 3.6 sq m of living space per inhabitant in these cities, a reduction of 0.9 square meter since 1949. To remedy this problem, construction of modern urban housing became a top priority in the late 1970s,"
  • "There was never any attempt, however, at complete equalization, and a wide range of income levels remained"
  • "The small but dynamic domestic private sector also produced some lucrative opportunities"
  • "Perhaps the most serious gaps in living standards between rural and urban areas were in education and health care."
The problem with these statements is that they all make a subjective assertion. These and other similar statements in the article could be fixed, but the problem with
WP:V is paramount. Every statement in every article on Wikipedia has to be verifiable and this article is extremely difficult to verify right now. Blue Rasberry (talk) 05:38, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment - While it is certainly possible that this church is historically significant for something else, the tangential connection to one notable person doesn't make it notable. A 30-minute search revealed nothing from reliable sources. The
    Archdiocese of Mobile itself, which includes links to the histories of most of its churches, only includes a basic page without any history for this one. Furthermore, it is not listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage or the National Register of Historic Places. Unless someone can come up with something really good, I'd say delete. Altairisfar (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply
    ]
But, it is listed on the Alabama Register -- it's part of the Whistler Historic District. And, as the Alabama Register lists the "building date" of the WHD as "Turn-of-the-century", then St. Bridget Church may be one of the oldest buildings in the district, as it was built in 1867. I have to agree with you though that on-line sources are hard to come by. --Kenatipo speak! 01:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If it is that historic, then someone should add why it is notable to the article itself and add some sources, even if they aren't online. As someone who has worked almost exclusively here creating articles for historic Alabama properties listed on the National and Alabama registers, I wish that I could find a good reason not to delete. I know that the article claims that it is in the Whistler Historic District, but contributing properties to historic districts that are listed on the National Register are not considered notable for that reason alone. The argument that it is included in a historic district listed on the state register makes an even weaker case. Altairisfar (talk) 01:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It's good to know about being in the district not necessarily conferring notability (and we're not even certain that the church is a contributing property!) --Kenatipo speak! 15:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are about 30 WP articles on individual sketches. Assuming 5 are notable and deserve their own articles, that leaves 25 to get merged into List articles. If each sketch were represented with 1 or 2 paragraphs (not unreasonable, since many of the articles are that size), that would be 25-50 paragraphs. That would be a large list, but not too large. If it is too large, breaking it by year may be okay: it looks like MP was on for 5 years: 1969 to 1974, so there could be 5 articles. I don't think breaking the lists by episode would help the situation: there are probably only 2 or 3 (WP article) sketches per episode. --Noleander (talk) 22:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
4 Seasons might be better than 5 years, it'd be more in line with other TV series lists. Episodes typically had half a dozen sketches, along with animated bits etc. which deserve a brief mention but not an article.

I was not suggesting eliminating the information about the author: rather, just moving the information to another article. When a fairly minor author is notable for only one thing, and that thing already has a WP article: it is best for readers to combine the two articles together for "one stop shopping". A "redirect" will remain with the author's name, so users searching for the author will find the article. --Noleander (talk) 14:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that the article's subject, which appears to be (the article lacks context) an open-source distributed hash table implementation, is

WP:N requires the subject to have non-trivial coverage in multiple third-party reliable secondary sources. The article presently has an external link to the subject's official site. As a primary source, this link does not evidence notability. There does not appear to be any coverage of the subject in sources that can indicate notability. Searching for "Distributed Ensemble of Pages that is Outage tolerant" on Google Web returns 42 "unique" results, all of which appear to be mirrors of this article. Including omitted results, the number of results increases to 110, but the nature of the results is the same as before. Searching Google News, Books, and Scholar returns no results with the exception of an book that is an index to IEEE publications that cannot be previewed. Searching Google Web for +DEPOT "distributed hash table" returned a huge number of irrelevant results (262 deemed unique), so +Bombay was added to the query, as the subject is an IIT Bombay project. 32 results were returned, all of which are irrelevant.

lack of notability, article largely unreferenced, circulation figures false, likely a vanity page by the publisher or his surrogates Bustter (talk) 01:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I am proposing the article's deletion because it's pretty clearly a vanity creation by the editor and publisher, Brynn Hammond. Hammond's imdb biography was written by one of his employees, and something similar seems to have happened here.

The magazine stopped appearing on newsstands several months ago; there's been no official announcement of its demise, and no news coverage either. Certainly a magazine selling over 200,000 copies per month would create some stir with its disappearance -- however, this circulation figure is certainly a lie that originated with the publisher, elsewise it's unlikely it would have ceased publication.

Most telling of all, the official Gorezone Facebook pages (there's a couple of them) have only a couple of hundred members -- how could this be for a 200,000+ circulation magazine that only recently ceased publication?

All of this supports my long-held feeling that the article was created by publisher Hammond as a form of advertising, and therefore qualifies for deletion. Bustter (talk) 16:44, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If a neutral party can be found who considers the magazine noteworthy enough to merit a properly-sourced, neutral pov article, and this party is willing to put in the sweat -- great. But opinion of the magazine is generally very low, I doubt such a party will be found. Bustter (talk) 02:30, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has anything to say? I'll start:

This page is not aimed for promotion but for historical documentation. I, Louie S. Sarmiento, did an academic research on the history of Odd Fellowship in the Philippines and I am one of its primary historians in the 21st Century. The sources are not mainly based on my own research and writings. Its history in the 19th Century such as in 1872 can be found in the book, History and Geography of the Philippine Islands, written by Major O.W. Coursey and published in 1903. The historical statements about the history in 1898 can be found in the book, History of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in the City of San Francisco, written by Peter Sellars and published in 2007. Historical statements about 1903 can be found in the book, Official History of Odd Fellowshhip: The Three Link Fraternity, published and updated by the Sovereign Grand Lodge yearly or every 50 years. The statement about 1926 can be found in a historical document, the Roster of Members of Manila Lodge no.1 that still exists now and in a museum. The modern history is an account of the modern happenings and an official Odd Fellows charter exists which can verify the existence of Kapatirang Watchdog Lodge no.1 and Kapatirang Mindanaon Lodge no.2, same as the encampment and Canton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louieblakesarmiento (talk • contribs) 01:40, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Louie's comment was refactored. Please place your comments/responses after the existing comments. Moray An Par (talk) 07:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The modern history was published in the California Odd Fellow and Rebekah Magazine, Volume 59, no.1, in March 2010. Cite: Odd Fellowship in the Philippines. (2010, March). California Odd Fellow and Rebekah, 59, 1, 8. Libstar has personal issues about the Odd Fellows and has tried many times destroying the reputation of the said fraternal organization by criticizing and making so many allegations. We should be scholarly and work towards peace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louieblakesarmiento (talk • contribs) 15:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). In order to justify inclusion in Wikipedia, you need to meet the criteria outlined in that page and more importantly, you need to prove it.
WP:42
.
Lastly, the tone of the article is promotional. As an editor with a
conflict of interest (close to the subject matter), you probably can not see this. This is why COI editing is discouraged, because people closely connected to the subject are seldom able to maintain an objective tone. The entire article, honestly, reads like a pamphlet. Please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Even if you were able to prove notability, huge parts of the article will still most likely be removed for being inappropriate.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 15:31, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

Company received some coverage in the press but as can be seen from this posting by the company the service is unlikely to launch any time soon, if at all. The company fails notability for organisations. Given that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, I don't see the point in keeping this article as it stands.

  • Keep I don't think it matters that the business is failing. The fact that several sources have mentioned the proposed crossing route, I think it qualifies as notable.

Non-notable product already covered adequately by caster board. This article has previously been redirected to caster board and I suggest that the article is deleted and the redirect established. I did this but as an editor reverted I am bringing it to AfD instead. Furthermore, little has changed since the original AfD, which resulted in deletion and redirect to caster board.

Delete as non-notable. No claim to notability at all except for surname. [email protected] (talk) 12:58, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. List of credits appears sufficient to satisfy WP:ENT, and even a cursory GNews search turns up NYTimes coverage, including a miniprofile and a film review [48] [49]; plus lots of non-English language coverage. Lousy article, but the fact that its author cared only about family ties doesn't mean she's not otherwise notable. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:11, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
