The incident is unquestionably notable and deserves mentioning due to widespread media coverage alone. Also, judging by the facts that you do not propose any alternative solution to preserving this information, you have the gall to use phrase such as "no long term significance" while you yourself create such irrelevant articles like Viasa Flight 897 and that you have userboxes such as "This user is a member of WikiProject US Courts and judges" on your user page makes me believe that you are proposing this article deletion NOT because your care about Wikipedia and its well-being BUT because you are pursuing some kind of personal agenda, most likely related to one of your personal friends/relatives or former co-workers. 98.116.9.131 (talk) 22:53, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Misquoted"? OK, because the largest part of the article is headed "Filmography", I just quoted the part that said "films", and didn't bother to include "television shows, stage performances, or other productions", but I now see that I should have included "televison". However, that is really not the issue: the issue is whether he has had "significant roles in multiple ... productions", irrespective of whether they were films, television programmes, or whatever.

Dklopp (talk) 20:34, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dklopp - I realise you're new to Wikipedia and don't mean for you to take this as a rejection of your efforts. Thank you for taking the time to create such a nicely formatted article. The question here is "notability" - which is our term for whether a given topic has received independent attention worthy to make it sufficiently important to warrant a WP entry. Not every conference (for example) should be in WP, so you would need to prove that this one should be - using third party sources that express the significance of the event (not merely its existence). You'll see therefore why citations to the event's own website is not sufficient for proving notability - everyone likes to think they are important but no one is objective about themselves :-) Wittylama 01:47, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If he's notable, even for just one thing, then he meets GNG. Sancho 17:38, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, you're confusing "notable" in the common sense of the word and wiki/GNG-notable, which means significant coverage about him personally rather than noted (in passing) for having done something notable. We do have guidelines like
WP:PSEUDO that in fact suggest not writing this kind of article when the subject has not received coverage focused on him. The federatedsearchblog.com interview for example only asked him about MetaCrawler, so it's not really helpful in fleshing out a biography.

  • Keep This article isn't the best written, and the sources are in a specific time-frame, but I think the amount of media coverage, in combination with the individuals who are a part of the group, make it notable. I know that notability is not inherited, but I think the main reason it got a decent amount of media coverage at the time was because of its members, and it seems to me a group of notable individuals getting together to shape policy, and that had substantial media coverage when its existence was found out, is notable. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:59, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But, as you acknowledge, the group does not receive notability simply from its members. It needs to have some sort of lasting "claim to fame" - as far as I can tell, this is not even a famous group of famous people. To give an example, if a group of celebrities had a party, and there was some reporting on that party, would the party be notable? No, because the party had no lasting significance. I believe this is a similar situation (with the added problems of casting negative aspersions on people.) OSborn arfcontribs. 00:18, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SWiK

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

First,

WP:WEB. A simple google search for swik returns no results (except the actual wikipedia entry as number one). Results for swik.net
gives pretty much the same results except there appears to be just one single article from zdnet about swik with minimal useful info. Other than that one single article when the site first launched in 05, there is absolutly nothing.

Then,

WP:CITE. The article is about a website 'swik.net' which is dead. The infobox says the owner is [28]. That site is dead as well. A google search for sourcelabs.com
brings no useful results. The first reference in the list is Alexa.com which is used for the site rank only. The third reference is another dead link. The only real proof that this site even really existed is the Linux Magazine article from 2005 (which all the links in that article are dead as well).

And lastly,

WP:ORIGINAL
. The last one third of that article talks about an event that could not be sourced reliably anywhere, entirely original research. I couldn't find absolutely anything about that anywhere.

As from the previous nomination for deletion, the O'Reilly Radar no longer exists. This is ridiculous, you shouldn't need to go to the ends of the earth the find the little source left as a refernce, it's just not notable enough to stay. CyberXReftalk 02:25, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The 2008 AfD concluded without consensus, on the basis of a smattering of coverage of potentially interesting new resources 3 years previously. That coverage was hardly more than just note-of-existence, and the product's lack of progress / disappearance since then verifies that this does not meet
    WP:NWEB notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 10:05, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

The result was delete. I have to discard many "keep" opinions, including most of the "Strong keep and improve" variety, because they do not address the sourcing situation, but only assert notability, or even argue that reliable sources are not needed, which is

incorrect. Among the remaining opinions, there is consensus that the sources are insufficiently reliable to support an article at this time.  Sandstein  10:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

I linked to the article on monopoly money because the person in question (who was probably not from the United States) seemed to be interpreting the phrase (when someone else used it) as talking about money with an economic monopoly.

Taking my comments elsewhere out of context does not help your case, and does not help the fact that the subject of this article is not notable according to Wikipedia's standards. I am following procedure here; I want to keep Wikipedia a good, high-quality place to learn about things. (How does my participation in a meme site represent a conflict of interest in regards to a cryptocurrency article, anyway? If that's a conflict of interest, wouldn't actually using the cryptocurrency in question be more of a conflict of interest?)

In any case, the purpose for the AfD process is for Wikipedia users to reach a consensus. If people agree that it should stay, it stays!

I have already explained on this page why the sources are not notable. In addition, the mining rate of the cryptocurrency does also not constitute notability, which has a specific definition on Wikipedia. If I created, say, Cosbycoin, a scrypt currency with a very low and unchanging difficulty and no limit on coins mined, and it rapidly rocketed to the top of the cryptocurrency mining rate charts, this would not make it notable. atomicthumbs‽ (talk) 10:36, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You actually have not explained why the sources are not "reliable sources" per the Wikipedia definition. The argument is hinging on the reliability of those sources, not your opinion of the coin's notability. Please provide your rationale on why those sources are not reliable or drop your case to have the article deleted. All you've done is link the page about reliable sources, but you did not provide any reason whatsoever why the sources quoted here do not meet that definition.

On the subject of the COI, nominator is in clear COI. /r/shibe is an SRS-affiliated subreddit, and SRS (radical feminist social-justice group, with a penchant towards marxism) has voiced strong opposition to cryptocurrencies in the past. There may be political ties that have not been seen until now. It is clear that the nominator was acting in bad faith in an attempt in inject his ideology, as SRS has attempted to do in the past.

You do happen to moderate a sub-reddit that has had affiliations with this "supposed feminist group". For the moment, I'm going to assume good faith that this is all just a coincidence and misunderstanding, but at the same time not entirely unsuspicious. It's obviously controversial, but this group has had similar dealings with processes on Wikipedia, making it perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of if you submitted this nomination in good-faith and waiting for a proper verdict, or if supposed political reasons are leading you to try and sway concensus towards your way.

Keep - Though Dogecoin may be based on a meme, that doesn't change the fact that it has been getting lots attention from news sites and internet users. Even though the article view count does not factor into the argument of keeping the article, you can see that Dogecoin is also very popular on other sites. On Reddit, for example, the Dogecoin tip bot is currently much more popular than the Bitcoin tip bot (http://www.reddit.com/user/bitcointip & http://www.reddit.com/user/dogetipbot). As seen in the news articles that others linked, dogecoin is in fact notable and a legitimate currency, and thus shouldn't be deleted. br100x (talk) 02:09, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This would be the case if I were trying to suppress knowledge of Dogecoin. I think it's a funny thing, and am amused that it's the only cryptocurrency that came out ahead in this week's Bitcoin bubble burst, but when I nominated it for deletion, it didn't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements as no reliable sources existed. atomicthumbs‽ (talk) 00:32, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Who said you were trying to suppress knowledge? You were simply acting per policy at the time when this article likely didn't meet
WP:GNG, which is hardly the case now. I'd rather you'd just withdraw the discussion and end all this nonsense for awhile until some other individual comes up with another reason, given the circumstances, but that's just me. [citation needed] 00:46, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

Not to veer even further off topic, but I'm confused by this. Didn't you just say the streissand effect was a good analogy? Breadblade (talk) 01:25, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. Atomic decided to nominate Dogecoin up for deletion because he thought it didn't meet notability guidelines. He ended up having a lopsided discussion with most people going keep or merge, and even pissed off 4chan's /g/ board to the point that they released his personal information (phone number, address, name, etc; all that has since been removed from what I can observe). That kinda seems to represent an unintended consequence according to the streissand effect. [citation needed] 01:54, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Late to the discussion, but looking at the subject itself without considering any of the accusations and possible COI going on, I think there's been significant enough coverage from the various reliable sources posted above. In response to claims that Dogecoin is a temporary fad or is bound to fail, whether or not Dogecoin ends up being successful is fairly irrelevant regarding its notability and significance. The present-day notability is enough to warrant recording here. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:51, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Although there are no novel developments in Dogecoin, in my opinion Dogecoin is notable as it is the first cryptocurrency to be based on a meme. If nothing else this is an interesting phenomenon. VinceSamios (talk) 20:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • very keep - wow. much cite. such notable. many independent coverage. --KRAPENHOEFFER! TALK 21:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep really looks fine to me. What's the worst thing that will happen if the article is kept? Outside sources do exist, both relibale and not reliable. We don't live in the past; just because it supposedly was not notable at thew time of the AFD is not relevant I also suggest to the nominator that this nomination is withdrawn.

I tried to establish multiple reliable secondary sources for this artist to pass both GNG and

here
. I was unable (even with my connections from my professional & GLAM work) to confirm a collection of her work/archives at the Smithsonian Institution in any capacity. The Met has one small folder of ephemera, but, the curator in my struggles to find that significant enough to establish notability. Her work held in the Sun and Moon Press collection is just one folder in a collection of thousands of archival records. Again, I can't consider that notability.

I did find a few sources with really small event announcements from the 70's, but, I really couldn't find notable multiple secondary reliable sources. Even her website lacked information and sources.

I tried. Perhaps others have something they can discover.

  • Delete. The creator appears to be affiliated with the subject (it says "designed by philip downing" at the bottom). A well-meaning attempt by a webmaster that fails notability guidelines. Sai Weng (talk) 04:21, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the article seems to over-egg the pudding, considering the two public collections do not contain her art, but folders of ephemeral information. Surprisingly her Biography doesn't make any claims to notability either. Sionk (talk) 19:01, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Individual academic departments are not notable. Especially not a university department which boasts that 20% of its faculty have higher degrees from outside Russia and treats this as a sign of high quality, but offers no other indication of quality whatsoever. And, not surprisingly, there are no significant third party references.
