I believe this article has a strong significance and should remain on wikipedia, I do not believe this article should be deleted. The film is a milestone in the progression of a university and will play big part in the guild celebration, Preston. The article will be frequently updated and added to as more infomation is available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lwsriamu (talk • contribs) 00:04, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The film is clearly not notable at this point in time. The article claims to be the "third ever feature film to be produced by students in the UK", which I doubt is true. There are always people who claim to be one of the first people to do something, but considering that there have been film students in the UK for years and years, I would think that at least someone somewhere (student-wise) has completed a feature film at some point in time for their degree or as a hobby. It's just that the film never got attention. All claims of that nature aside, being first at something only counts here on Wikipedia if it has received coverage in independent and reliable sources. Which this film hasn't. I can be the first American to read a book while watching a movie and setting my house on fire as I play eight instruments at once, but that only becomes notable if it has received coverage and is shown to be more than one event. There are no RS for the film and considering that on top of this the film doesn't appear to have really started filming yet (the fb page says they're still casting), this movie does not pass the notability standards for future films. We can't keep films because they might become notable and FYI, nothing that is released by the crew or anyone representing them will ever show notability because it's a ]

- The claim that the film is the third ever is legitimate, it is in terms of module - not hobby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lwsriamu (talk • contribs) 19:56, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And again, I argue that the claim is dubious at best. I would wager that there have been other students that have made a feature film under the same situation. They just never gained any sort of coverage and didn't even get enough notice to say that they faded into obscurity. The article just claims that it was made by UK students. I'd say that it's highly likely that other UK students have made films. It's not like these guys are the first students in the UK to own a video camera, after all.]

- Comment -I'm finding lots of sources online. ]
- The thing is, I do get what the article is trying to describe - maybe not the same thing as "smooth jazz," but probably overlapping with it - but dang if I can find a reliable source that corroborates this. It's certainly possible you're finding good sources that I'm not, but I'm curious as to what these are. The book search linked from above gives "urban jazz" in the most general sense, for example "an urban jazz cafe," in other words "not rural" (plus, there's the Tanzanian context that AllyD mentions, which is not (currently) the subject of this Wikipedia article). In a 1996 Billboard article, Ronny Jordan describes his music as "urban jazz" – I'm not sure that accounts for an entire genre, but perhaps it's something we can use. Highbeam has an article in which the music of one Rod McGaha is described as "urban jazz-alternative hip-hop" (which may or may not already be covered under jazz rap). Otherwise, the most relevant results I got from a Google search were the two links I already mentioned, and they're not all that useful (though I didn't dig far into subsequent pages of results) - mainly the results seem to consist of band or album names that include the string "urban jazz." Google News gave me a lot of non-English results. AllyD made earlier comments at Talk:Urban jazz that mentioned how AllMusic, which is normally enthusiastic about defining these kinds of stylistic intersections, curiously did not have an article about this genre. I might have suggested merging this to smooth jazz, but as the article's unsourced, there's technically nothing to merge. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:54, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- delete The very phrase is suspect: only think of "suburban jazz" and try not to smirk. Everybody needs their own personal genre I suppose, but at any rate I find no source for the four definitive members of the genre which uses this term for them: more typically they are characterized as smooth jazz performers.

- You shouldn't create pages for the sole purpose of being sources for other pages. Likewise, the fact that you are super-interested in something is insufficient to demonstrate that the material is super-notable. And no, we don't want the other pages you have named, which are equally inappropriate. Quit trying to turn Wikipedia into a repository for sketchy genealogy.

Paul, I think it would be best if you waited to let these discussions come to consensus before creating further articles, in case the consensus is that this material is not notable. I suggest the closer closes this in conjunction with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genealogia Lindisfarorum and possibly also the merge at Talk:Anglian collection, if enough people have commented there, since they are all related discussions. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:57, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A quick Google search brings up two good book references and a Google scholar. If you search for genealogy instead of ancestry there are lots more hits, but this fits with the Wessex precedent and is probably the cafés all around Britain. I'll give room for further discussion on articles in this direction until this is resolved as you suggest. Paul Bedson ❉talk❉ 23:48, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because there have been detailed studies on, specifically, the Wessex pedigree, does not establish a precedent for creating whatever article one wants for the ancestry of other kingdoms that have not been studied to nearly the same level of detail. For that matter, maybe the Wessex article doesn't belong either - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. None of this justifies the COATRACKing being done to make a third Wikipedia home (it is all already on the Wessex page along with the scholarly refutation of it, and some of it is also on the Anglo-Saxon genealogies page) for the ancestry of Woden or Icel or Ealdfreath, which will never be more than a string of made-up names without the slightest context because they are entirely unknown to history, with some legendary heroes thrown in that already have their own pages and aren't really ancestors of their supposed descendants. It is effectively an extended exercise in POV forking, trying to throw around the raw list of names so as to be uncluttered by the scholarly analysis that shows it all to be nonsense.

- Delete. Out of the four references for the introduction, full page references are only given for one, and the John Glover book is not a reliable source. No sources are given for the list itself, and it appears to be original research. The wikilinks suggest the list is somewhat random. Offa points to the 8th century king, and is followed by Angeltheow which redirects to kings of the Angles, and then Eomer which points to a diambig page. One of the external links is a commercial genealogy site. As Agricolae has argued, a list of legendary names without context does not provide the basis for a notable and sourced article.

- Decorating an introductory sentence with a non-reliable medieval pedigree compilation that has nothing to do with the genealogy presented on the rest of the page does nothing to improve the situation, even were it cited properly (specific information comes from specific pages, not an entire book or all of a book after a given page). These aren't original kings lists, but original pedigrees (it would be useful if you understood what the material was before you created a page trying to describe it), large parts of which have indeed been made up (albeit not by you) and we do no service in propagating such bogus genealogy long rejected by the scholarly community.

- I'll freely admit I've not paid that much attention to the early medieval manuscripts that describe the legendary ancestors of the various kings - it's a bit outside my field. On the other hand, this is extreme genealogical trivia - it's better covered somewhere other than Wikipedia, quite honestly. This is seriously the most extreme trivia of trivia as far as historians are concerned. No one would seriously argue any more that these ancestor lists or king lists are anything but stuff some scribe made up to fill in gaps of knowledge. Thus, they really don't need coverage in a serious encyclopedia, and certainly not as total reproductions of the lists! Ealdgyth - Talk 02:44, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Further, I've gone back to Barbara Yorke's Kings and Kingdoms of Early Anglo-Saxon England where she discusses the ancestry of the Mercian kings. She says "No Mercian origin legend survives comparable to those from Kent or Wessex, though the Mercian kings apparantly claimed descent from legendary kings of Contintenal Angeln." D.P. Kirby in Earliest English Kings says "Early eighth-century dynastic and genealogical tradition remembered Oisc, reputed son of Hengest and father of Ochta, as the first of the Oiscingas kings to rule in Kent, Wuffa as the first of the Wuffingas kings to rule in East Anglia, and Iel as the first of the Icelingas who, according to the early eighth-century Life of Guthlac, came to dominate Mercia, but details for the period before c.550-75 (and sometimes much later) are too uncertain for these men to be placed in very precise genealogical or historical contexts." Seems clear to me that the historians who study the period don't place much credence in these legendary lists, so neither should we. Remember, we follow the secondary sources here - and if the historians who specialize in the area don't discuss the subject in this manner, then we shouldn't either.

- None of the recent changes have made any improvement in the article .. now we have a digression about how Thomas Jefferson wanted Hengst and Horsa on the Great Seal of the United States in the lede - this has no bearing on the purported subject of the article, which is quite impossible to figure out except it should relate to something about the title - I guess. My impression is the article is a coatrack for putting forth some weird ideas some writer proposed in some fringe self-published book.

- What I chopped from List of monarchs of Mercia was not from a king's list - please recognize the distinction between a king's list and a pedigree. A kings list explicitly is listing people who ruled a kingdom (usually with the number of years that they ruled) and often has been compiled to serve as a chronological framework around which the history of a kingdom can be viewed, while a pedigree is a list of the ancestors of a given individual, irrespective of whether they ruled or not, and usually was constructed to demonstrate political or cultural affiliations (ancient or current to the time of construction). What I removed were names from a pedigree that made no claims to the individuals in question being kings of anywhere - it just claims that each is father of one and son of another person in the descent. It is OR to decide they must have been kings of Mercia (at a time before Mercia even existed) without reliable secondary sources, not to remove this unfounded conclusion. Further, it is OR to use a primary record, be it a pedigree or a kings list, and draw any conclusions from it. And again, I would point out that one should not create pages simply in the hopes of finding someplace to force information that has been deemed inappropriate - that is the COATRACKing that has brought us here twice already, nor should one propose that material be merged into a page that has been deemed unuseful, for the sole purpose of rescuing it. The decision on this page has no relation to the worthiness of any other page - remember WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It is only a judgement on the value of this page. If you feel that the Wessex page should be deleted, go ahead and nominate it. Let me point three things, however. First, that every word of it and every chart in it derives directly from an explicit statement in an extensive published study of the topic in reliable secondary literature, 2) it was originally created as the result of an earlier AfD that explicitly called for such a page to be made, and 3) notability is not determined by logic - it is determined by the coverage given material in the secondary record. By virtue of having given rise to the crown of England, the kingdom of Wessex has received more attention from those evaluating the medieval genealogies. Further, the study of the Wessex pedigree has included much of the material you keep trying to force onto other pages, e.g. the mythical ancestry of Woden.

- Comment The kings listed are called Legendary kings on the List of legendary kings of Britainpage. What do you say to renaming that page?
- A critical difference is that, even though there is no historical basis for it, Geoffrey (or some other source) explicitly called those people kings, while the names you tried to add are never called (even wrongly) kings of Mercia - they are simply listed as ancestors in a pedigree.

- A cover up??? A witch hunt??? Some grand conspiracy to protect Geoffrey of Monmouth???? Now we're moving into fringe topic territory ... Again - notability (which is what determines whether we have pages on subjects) is determined by coverage in reliable secondary sources. A manuscript is the PRIMARY source here - you need scholarly commentary on the subject in secondary sources (see WP:SECONDARY) to show that this article should be kept. Bringing up things like cover ups and witch hunts rather than showing secondary source coverage is not helping to show this article's notability. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:16, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that the Wessex page should be deleted, go ahead and nominate it. Let me point three things, however. First, that every word of it and every chart in it derives directly from an explicit statement in an extensive published study of the topic in reliable secondary literature, 2) it was originally created as the result of an earlier AfD that explicitly called for such a page to be made, and 3) notability is not determined by logic - it is determined by the coverage given material in the secondary record. By virtue of having given rise to the crown of England, the kingdom of Wessex has received more attention from those evaluating the medieval genealogies. Further, the study of the Wessex pedigree has included much of the material you keep trying to force onto other pages, e.g. the mythical ancestry of Woden. Agricolae (talk) 17:06, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge toWP:ESSAY. It should certainly be kept separate from the Wessex article. The title is inaccurate since these were not kings of Britain but of Anglian kingdoms. Legendary genealogies are a potentially encyclopaedic subject. Just what these genalogies mean is no doubt the subject of scholarly debate, which could be reflected in an article, but I doubt that many scholars are interested in something quite so obscure. We have a Mercia article that is currently propeosed for merger there. I think this one might be a useful addition. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:19, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]- re-voted below.

- I don't know that the Anglian collection is an appropriate target, as it deals specifically with one document (that exists in four copies) and not the topic in general - there is a page, Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies that deals with the more general topic that the page in question talks about (but is not named for), but it is already more scholarly than the material in the page under discussion here, and would only be damaged by a merge. Likewise, the use of 'British' in the page name, as you well know, represents the opponents of the Anglo-Saxons (in the 8th century sense of the words) and so I don't think the namespace should point there (namespace and content are two separate issues here because the name of the current page is misleading, using the modern meaning of Britain but talking about a period for which Britain has a distinct meaning to historians that is not at all what the page is about). There used to be a page on the Ancestry of Queen Elizabeth II - don't remember the exact name of it - maybe the redirect (but not the content) from this namespace should go there if it still exists.

- He is referring to the author of some self-published fringe books in which he traces European dynasties to King David and Noah and, believe it or not, to an ancient King of America. He has actually stated publicly that he is absolutely opposed to scholarly evaluation of genealogies because it deprives people of good stories about their ancestors (by revealing them not to be their ancestors). In attempting to 'save' both versions of alternative accounts of the same relationship, he has turned people into their own great-grandfather, and he never met a connection to antiquity he didn't like, as long as it let him extend the pedigree.

- Delete -- On reconsideration, I now NOT do think this article has any merit. The three sources are completely dis-parate, with the exception that they both include Woden and a man called Eomer/Eamer. Pagan genealogies commonly name a god as the father of the earliest known ancestor, so that the two alleged "sons" of Woden cannot be regarded as brothers. The two genealogies are thus completely unrelated and should not appear together. I continue to maintain that "British" or "Britain" are inappropriate in the genelaogy of Anglian kings. I suspect that there will be some academic discussions of these. If we are to have articles on things such as this, they should be cited. WP:RS. It might possibly be appropriate to have an article dealing sceptically and separately with each royal genealogy, with a summary of scholarly discussions of them.

- Keep the specific "family history" of monarchs is the very basis of general political history. This isn't about family history in general--we do have an article on that--it's about the history of several geographically and historically related royal houses in particular. I'm not sure how we should title this and the related articles, or whether we should merge them: i think a rewrite of the general group of articles is very much needed, & I see this as a general article, with the individual documentary sources separate. I do not see this as OR. Andy says the reader will not see what "the page is trying to say." -- if the page were trying to say something, it would indeed be OR: WP pages are not supposed to have a thesis to prove. Rather, the page is trying to present and organize historical material, and while I agree it is not doing it as clearly as it should, that's not a reason for deletion. "Why should readers care?" is not an argument for deletion. Some readers will care, and we do not judge by personal interest. I have just a little amateur knowledge of this period, and I found a few sources here I had not known about, and will follow up on them. Agricola seems to be arguing that the material is contradictory and semi-legendary, with some parts being entirely mythical. So it is, but that is no reason whywe should not cover it--it is in fact a good reason why we should, to explain and present it clearly. He further argues that Wessex is justified, but not the other parts of it,because Wessex is so much better documented. So it is, but that Wessex is very fully documented as the early middle ages go, does not mean the other parts are undocumented--Each of the kingdoms is important and covered by primary and extensive secondary sources.

- A page shouldn't be 'trying to say something' in the sense you are using it, but it should be 'trying to say something' in the sense that Andy is - it should be about a coherent topic rather than just a magpie selection of bright shiny factoids that neither cover the general topic nor relate to each other. You also are not characterizing my arguments accurately. 1) It is the material in this page, not the primary material, that is (or at least when I said it, was) contradictory. The core pedigree material is semi-legendary and mythical, but that is not the problem - it is a fringe interpretation of this material that is being inserted for the third time (two previous ones having met with resistance), that is the problem. 2) Wessex is more notable because its pedigree has been subject to published scholarly evaluation at a level of detail that has not been done with the others; and 3) the evaluation of the Wessex pedigree included an evaluation of the early part shared by the other kingdoms, and this information is included on the Wessex page, and another page already exists addressing the other kingdoms. Both existing pages are more scholarly and more organized and just about anything that would be merged into them from this page would make them worse. This page from the start was a POV fork, intended to COATRACK fringe interpretations that would not find a home in the more scholarly articles. It has since been decorated with a lot of irrelevant material, but it remains a badly named unfocused attempt at replicating existing material with a different spin.

Agricolae (talk) 16:01, 24 November 2012 (UTC)has now been struck Agricolae (talk) 18:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]- I have stuck my keep vote out. I've given this much consideration along with the alternative Ancestry of the monarchs of Anglo-Saxon England, we have plenty of later monarchy information such as List of English monarchs, List of British monarchs. I was however unable to find any female monarchs in this time period, so go with "kings". I think that Faustus37 has come up with the best solution here and as TommyPinball notes, we are short of coverage in this area. I would also request that if the closing administrator does decide on a delete, that the talk page is noted as an addendum to the deletion discussion for future reference if possible. Thanks.

- Um, how can we redirect to an article that doesn't exist? And before Paul Bedson asks, using the content of this confused essay to create it is no way to start one. If the sources cited in the article are the best that can be found on the subject, it appears that there is little that can be said with any confidence anyway regarding the actual genealogy of real kings, and we shouldn't confuse mythology with historical fact. If there is enough usable material regarding a particular Anglo-Saxon kingdom, we are better off covering it in individual articles, where myth and fact can be better distinguished, rather than duplicating it here - none of the kings were kings 'of England' anyway, and it appears likely that a good few probably weren't 'kings' at all...

- We already have a page, Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies, that talks about the pedigrees as a whole and has sections for evaluation of each individual kingdom.

- That last statement about overwhelming the opposition so some of the truth gets through is particularly concerning. Two administrators (me being one) have warned Paul about using Wikipedia to promote new ideas and 'the truth' as he sees it. He was also given a formal notification of Pseudoscience Discretionary sanctions[11] for pushing a pov and misusing sources about a year and a have ago. One of the two administrators involved in the closing noted "A reading of Paul Bedson's comments above does not inspire any confidence in his understanding of Wikipedia policy or his willingness to edit neutrally. He views this AE request as "a direct attempt to damage mankind by hindering research into the central Levantine archaeological site of the neolithic revolution in Aaiha.""[12]. ]

The result was speedy keep. I'm withdrawing the AfD. I was unduly infuenced by the earlier state of the article, which Tokyogirl has now fixed.

The sum total of published information about this person that I can find are reports of his being arrested, but released without charge after a few hours, a couple of times back in the 1990s. There was supposedly a television documentary made about this person, but that was broadcast sixteen years ago, and (given Special:Contributions/77.137.41.191) I have reservations about its suitability as a source even were it available today.

Ironically, Cohen 2011 harvnb error: no target: CITEREFCohen2011 (help) shows that the world documents this as a subject of royal stalkers and stalking, and this person is but an anecdote, not a candidate for a full biography, whose life and works outwith one subject are simply not recorded by history.

And he is, if one looks.

That's one history article with a birth to death biography. The Dictionary of Welsh Biography, as cited in the article, is another. According to this WWW page, which has a third birth-to-death biography, there's an "excellent Victorian book on his life" in Cardiff library. So that's at least three birth-to-death biographies available as sources for an encyclopaedia article on Basset The Vicar, and possibly a fourth.
There are, furthermore, several minor sources for details here and there. His death was reported contemporaneously in The Gentleman's magazine. Various books confirm or add little details, like details of livings in Orrin 1988, p. 141 harvnb error: no target: CITEREFOrrin1988 (help). There's lovely, see! ☺

- My "concern" here is that most of the material is, not to put too fine a point on it, uninteresting. As best I understand it, this is the sort of material that one can find out about any Anglican clergy of the period, but it doesn't tell us anything that can pull him out of the pack. This is not material that requires more than a one line mention as a late example of an Anglican-Methodist clergy connection. Mangoe (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Asteroids, railway stations, species of beetle, people who star in Disney movies, Laplace transforms, Classical Greek playwrights, U.S. state politicians, German pop groups, and the commune of Bourg-la-Reine are all uninteresting to someone. We don't work that way. Go and see Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies since pretty much the first revision of that page. It's fair to say that secondary source history books and articles documenting birth, education, career, and death, as all three of the aforecited do, qualifies as being fully documented. This subject is not a mere footnote. That you or I might be bored silly reading about the life and works of a 19th century Welsh vicar is neither here nor there. Wikipedia is here (in such cases) for the readers who aren't us, are interested in such things, and want to know about them.

I am in fact someone who could potentially have interest in any random Anglican clergyman; but I'm finding it hard to maintain interest in the minutae of this clergyman, precisely because they remain minutae which don't appear to play into his one real interesting detail. "Subjective interest" works the other way, as well: the fact that genealogy buffs and the like seize upon this data doesn't make it notable; everything is interesting to somebody.
- Asteroids, railway stations, species of beetle, people who star in Disney movies, Laplace transforms, Classical Greek playwrights, U.S. state politicians, German pop groups, and the commune of Bourg-la-Reine are all uninteresting to someone. We don't work that way. Go and see
- My "concern" here is that most of the material is, not to put too fine a point on it, uninteresting. As best I understand it, this is the sort of material that one can find out about any Anglican clergy of the period, but it doesn't tell us anything that can pull him out of the pack. This is not material that requires more than a one line mention as a late example of an Anglican-Methodist clergy connection. Mangoe (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I would add that there doesn't seem to be much written here about the historical context in which this fellow's claim to notability might be established. The fact that I couldn't find any less general article than Methodism itself to refer to him indicates that a better direction to take is to write a separate article on the history of early Methodism that mentions him in passing. For a variety of reasons, I'm not at the moment anyway the person to write that article. But surely someone could do it, perhaps even you. Mangoe (talk) 16:23, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As far as I'm concerned (and others if precedent is to be believed), having an entry in a national dictionary of biography generally makes an individual notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, since their standards of notability are generally higher than ours (i.e. they generally exclude the many thousands of minor musicians, starlets and sportspeople that we include just because they have had a minor hit, featured in a cult TV series or played in a single professional game). His connections with the Methodist church make him unusual enough, which is presumably why the Dictionary of Welsh Biography has an article on him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Uncle G seems to have found sufficient evidence that he would have passed GNG in his lifetime and around the time of his death and later. Whether we would think he should have been notable is irrelevant for WP because once notable, always notable. In any case, the development of Welsh Methodism, and its relationship with the the evangelical wing of the Anglican church, is a significant historical topic in its own right. Whether many people are interested in it does not matter either because if you are, you might well want to read about it in WP. --AJHingston (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would be necessary for some one to locate a copy of E. Morgan, Home Light, or, Brief memoirs and letters of the Rev. R. Bassett, Vicar of Colwinstone, and E. Bassett, Esq., Glamorganshire, 1860, which it cites in order to expand the article. The DWB article describes him as a Methodist clergyman.

Michael Errichetti is considered one of the leading Real Estate investment bankers in the industry. He helped found the group at JP Morgan during a career there of 27 years. He was a leading advisor to notable Real Estate companies mentioned in the entry. He was a Board Member of NAREIT, the main industry organization for public real estate companies in the United States. It is a common practice in the United States business publications like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times (and in London, the Financial Times) to mention only the firm advising the company in large transactions, not the individuals. However, articles like the one deleted (unfortunately, you must be a WSJ subscriber to access the full archived article "Errichetti to KBW", not just the headline of it's weekly article on important development in the industry entitled "Plots & Ploys"regarding Mr. Errichetti's joining KBW) do mention the deal volume and some of those transactions. Mr Errichetti also helped create the unsecured debt market for Real Estate companies which led to billions of dollars of debt issuance, and he is widely recognized for that but it is not written about per se. On the question of previous deleted entries, please let me explain. I looked to other Wikipedia entries for colleagues of Mr. Errichetti at JP Morgan and some of them include the language, almost exactly, of the entries listed in Business Week biographies on the web. So, initially I took the same approach, focusing on a much shorter entry without all the detail on the individual transactions, which resulted in the Wikipedia's deletions re copywrite issues (although it was not an exact copy and the information was all factual). Following that, I then decided to write a much more detailed account of his career, highlighting the major, public transactions that he was responsible for and which is known by the companies (and their CEO's) mentioned and the industry overall. Some of the articles from major publications are no longer archived, but I have printed copies of them but obviously could not use them. The leading M&A industry source (The Daily Deal) that often includes names of individuals on transactions is not available on the web. But again, in the US, it is common to reference major transactions attached to leading Investment Bankers in major business publications because the reporters at the time either speak to the company or reference the SEC filings that sometimes list the names of the participants in the Background section of the document. I hope this answers some of the issues raised in your commentary.Independentboardmember (talk) 16:04, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A history of deletion, person exists but I cannot see that he is ]
The history of deletion should be attributable to my lack of understanding of Wikipedia as a first time contributor and even some technical issues, rather than the implication that an issue exists, which I believe the previous contributor implies. In looking at the definition of Notable offered by Wikipedia, it would appear that Mr. Errichetti meets those requirements. It is a 27 year career performing at the highest level for JP Morgan, a leader in Investment Banking worldwide. The transactions noted are in some cases record transactions in the industry at the time of their completion, including largest cross border transactions in the Real Estate Industry. He led pioneering efforts in developing debt capital market products for Real Estate companies including unsecured bank loans and bonds, including the first ever Rate reset note. So, his notability is not temporary and is based on facts, supported by tangible noteable transactions for which he was responsible. Again, in my view, Mr. Errichetti warrants inclusion even in an abbreviated form, based on his positions, tenure, pioneering work and tangible results that can be verified and have been publicly.Independentboardmember (talk) 19:45, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know that experts in Wikepedia know this, but please allow me to copy below Wikipedia's definition of notability for People: Any biography Shortcut: WP:ANYBIO The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.[7]
The second point, in my opinion, is without question. Mr. Errichetti advised on the transactions that helped transform the public real estate industry. He also helped develop the primary vehicles in the debt capital markets that are now primarily used by the public industry to finance itself, running into the billions and billions of dollars. On the first point, I don't know if it helps that two of the transactions (Rodamco purchase of Urban and Rodamco hostile defense and then sale to Simon, Rouse and Westfield) were awarded Institutional Investor's Deal of the Year awards, which is the most notable award in that industry. Both contain quotes from Mr. Errichetti, but again, unfortunately could not access these articles on the web but have read printed versions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Independentboardmember (talk • contribs) 04:01, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That Errichetti "advised" and "helped" does not establish notability. You need to identify multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subjectthat state that Errichetti transformed the public real estate industry. Published sources do not have to be available on-line. They do have to be verifiable from an archive or public or university library.
- Concerning the "Institutional Investor's Deal of the Year Award", what organization presents that award? Was it awarded to Errichetti as an individual? Or to a company or group? If not presented to him as an individual, that Errichetti is involved, mentioned or quoted does not help establish his notability. The Join WER 12:52, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. It shouldn't be possible for the h-index to drop, except possibly for corrections to bad data in the original database from which it was calculated. And I still see it as 11 in his profile, so that comment in the nomination seems inaccurate. That said, 11 or 8, the numbers are still too low (in a high-citation subject) to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1, and there doesn't seem to be anything else to pin notability on. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:02, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It pains me to nominate anything by Full Moon Pictures for deletion, but this is another film I stumbled across tonight that lacks reliable sources. I searched to try to find some, but ultimately found no coverage for this movie at all. There's just no notability for this movie.

- The link you've given is to IMDb, which is not usable as a reliable source. Especially since this only links to a summary for the film. As far as other RS goes, I wasn't able to find any and if they do exist then you should link to them either on the article or in this AfD. Just be aware that just as IMDb is never usable as a source to show notability, you also have to ensure that the "sources" you're mentioning are not just links to merchant sites, non-notable blog entries, press releases, and a score of other things that are not usable as reliable sources. All I could find for the movie were various links to merchant sites and other unusable links. Nothing that Wikipedia would consider reliable.]

- I didn't find the HN.N one when I'd initially searched, so that one is definitely usable. However, the rest of them seem to be of the non-notable review site/blog review variety, which cannot show notability- especially the LetterBoxHD site, which seems to be the type of site where anyone can sign up and give a review. It even describes it's as "a social network for sharing your taste in film", so it's definitely not considered a reliable source. It takes a lot for a review site to be considered reliable and so far out of the sites you've given, only HorrorNews.net would be usable as a reliable source to show notability.]

Merge Max Modell into the Horizon Labs article and give editors time to expand the article after the merge is complete. The Horizon Labs article has been around for less than a day; it was already up for deletion before I even knew it existed. Give editors time to expand it before it is deleted. Anyone who has read an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man in the past two years will tell you how important Horizon Labs has been to the storylines. Renominate for deletion in one month if the article has not sufficiently improved. Spidey104 01:45, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In-universe importance is irrelevant. Do we have third-party sources commenting on its role in the stories? Considering how stubby Spider-Man: Big Time is (it contains literally nothing apart from plot summary, bibliographic information and a table of ratings from various sources), it seems odd to split things out from it. Morwen (Talk) 12:49, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Big Time was only the first appearance of Horizon Labs, but it isn't really split off from that article. The technology Spider-Man has created while working at Horizon Labs has been talked about in reviews of the comic books and has already been turned into toys. Adaptation into other media is real world notability. I could find more sources, but I won't waste my time if it's going to be deleted anyways. Give me the month I asked for and I will spend time finding more sources. A wait and see approach is a common result of deletion discussions, and I have already given a small source on little effort. Imagine what I could do with real effort in a month. :-) Spidey104 03:31, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- What is the definition of "minor" state highway being used here? Also, I want to say that Hawaii's highways are numbered in a parent-child pattern, so 7241 would imply that it's a spur or a related route for a Route 72 or 724.

- Merge to a list of minor/short/unnumbered state highways in Hawaii. If this is a state-maintained highway it should be discussed somewhere, but it (and all other four-digit highways on the island) isn't even in HDOT's list of highways on Oahu, and the lack of coverage elsewhere doesn't suggest this needs its own article.

Although there are several sources here, they really all mention the same content and it probably wouldn't improve the article from its current state. Despite noting that 2012 is going to be a good year for them, it seems they haven't received much coverage aside from the results above.

The page is about a single genealogical pedigree found within a medieval chronicle, literally just a list of 11 successive names. (see [54]). No claim to independent notability.

- Delete, unless there's evidence that the genealogical list is independently notable. The chronicle that contains the list (Chronicon ex chronicis) seems to be adequately covered at John of Worcester, and if Wikipedia really needs to list these names (I'm not saying that it does), it might be better to do so at that article. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep There is plenty of evidence that the list is independently notable. It is one of the oldest lists of recorded names of the leaders of our ancestors, so highly important. Paul Bedson ❉talk❉ 10:15, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to John of Worcester or Kingdom of Lindsey. It is discussed in a number of sources on Google Books, but I'm not convinced there's enough detail to merit a separate article. Records from this time are extremely limited, which means you're likelier to have a bare list of names than a 12-volume historical chronicle, but kingdoms and list of kings are pretty much always notable, and we have to take what information we can get. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not a list of kings as no claim is made that any of them held a title - the entire contents of the pedigree is as follows "Woden-Winta-Cretta-Queldgils-Cædbæd-Bubba-Beda-Biscop-Eanferth-Enna-Ealdfrith". Further, Genealogia Lindisfarorum isn't even a stand-alone pedigree, being nothing but a subheading in a larger multi-part pedigree entitled Incipit Regalis Prosapia Anglorum, descendens a Woden. On top of that, Worcester was just copying the names from another source (the Anglian collection) and modern scholars do not believe it reflects historical reality. There is nothing here that is worth merging, just an unoriginal list of mostly made-up names without context in a source written more than 4 centuries after the last named of them passed into oblivion. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Agricolae (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Let me add that the article on the Kingdom of Lindsey already contains the genealogical information, although it is described inaccurately, so again there is no need to merge there. Agricolae (talk) 17:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Not independently notable. I don't think the contents should be merged to John of Worcester; we don't want to reproduce the contents of medieval manuscripts.

Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:35, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Mike's stated the reasons very well. No independent notability, no substantive content, would require scholarly discussion to be added anywhere as without that it would be original research. ]
- Delete - you need scholarly articles that discuss this tiny bit of John of Worcester to establish notabilty - not an occasional mention of a name given to a section of a manuscript. And, as an aside, you realize that the "Carolus Plummer (1 February 2003). Venerabilis Baedae Historiam Ecclesiasticam Gentis Anglorum: Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England. Gorgias Press LLC. pp. 355–. ISBN 978-1-59333-028-6. Retrieved 19 November 2012" reference is just to a reprint of an original work by CHARLES PLUMMER from 1896, so it's not going to be current scholarship - no matter that someone has reprinted it in 2003.

- Delete, don't merge: This is just one section of a larger document. No scholarly sources have discussed this particular section in more than a passing fashion. The topic is already treated in another article, and the material presented here will be of no use in improving that article. A redirect would not be helpful as this is an extremely unlikely search term. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 22:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note to closing admin. I'd probably suggest the merge now too. Genealogy Lindsey, the redirect needs to go to Vespasian B VI in my opinion however as this is a distinctly ancient genealogy in that manuscript which may need an article oneday, on a different subject and substantially different to Genealogia Lindisfarorum in Chonicon ex Chronicis.

- I know some will disagree with me, but IMNSHO, the wiki doesn't need articles for every artist to receive a commission or minor award, just as it does not need articles for every CEO of every registered company, every member of every band, every person to ever appear on a prime-time TV show, and every student to receive a scholarship. Notability is not inherent, nor is it inherited: just because a video-game I work on is notable, and has received several awards which my effort made possible, it does not mean I warrant my own wiki article, much as though I might wish it otherwise. besiegedtalk 22:02, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep - a simple GoogleNews search brings up plenty of "hits", but on closer inspection they all seem to be instances where Pike or GlobalSecurity.org have been cited as a source about something else. See here, here and here. There doesn't seem to be a lot of coverage of the company itself that would help it meet WP:ACADEMIC #7 ("...if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area.") or whether you could consider the combined expertise of GlobalSecurity.org to collectively meet such a guideline. I'm very much on the fence... The organisation is cited extensively in books like this one and this one as a source of reputable, factual information. There's also some outliers like this case study about the site itself. I would have thought Pike might meet the above criteria but GlobalSecurity.org is a collective of experts who are cited as employees / fellows of GS.org so I think keeping it (with all its experts) is better than keeping just one of the experts, if that makes sense.
