No indication of notability; it mentions his subscriber count of 15000, but that isn't particularly high (the second reference indicates that this puts him at 42731st most subscribers on YouTube). IagoQnsi (talk) 23:35, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It actually wouldn't even matter whether his subscriber count was genuinely high or not; no number of YouTube subscribers confers notability in and of itself, if it can be sourced only to an automated stat counter and not to any proper coverage of the YouTuber in real

Keep Clear systemic bias over here (just because it is not an US/European team does not mean it is non notable in this English-language Wikipedia).

Well, as an inclusionist, my belief is that an article is well referenced, it should not be deleted. This article is one of those. With 19 references in total (9 local, 6 regional, 3 national, and another one from social networks), it is a definite proof that this subject is notable; it complies with all of the
WP:GNG points. Küñall (talk) 01:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Team is largely unknown outside Pichilemu (and perhaps outside its school). Kuñal, you should absolutely move a lot of Pichilemu stuff over to a special Wikia about Pichilemu. This team is just one of many irrelevant articles related to Pichilemu (e.g. Pichilemu post-office building). Sietecolores (talk) 02:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sietecolores, I don't understand what's your problem with Pichilemu-related stuff. I don't get why you even suggest me to move to Wikia. Really, what's your problem? The team does not exist anymore (it disbanded last year), and references of national relevance (La Tercera, 24 Horas) prove the team is notable outside home. Besides, as I pointed above, it is GNG compliant. Küñall (talk) 03:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Besides, "Team is largely unknown outside Pichilemu (and perhaps outside its school)" is largely a personal appreciation. Sources in the article prove the contrary. --Küñall (talk) 03:16, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - A one time mention in La Tercera is not enough to idnicate notability. I have personally also been mentioned in El Mercurio, yet that does not make me notable for an own article in Wikipedia. I suggest you to mention this team in a general article about Sport in Pichilemu. Sietecolores (talk) 14:50, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - WP:GNG says the contrary; the article of La Tercera is an in-depth one about them. The collection of sources used in the article establish its notability. Disregarding that it comes from a high school, a college, or whatever. Küñall (talk) 15:02, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yep, but tiny local newspapers like Pichilemu News (edited by a person you probably know) and El Rancahuaso are difficult to use to establish encyclopedic notability. Sietecolores (talk) 15:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't get why you keep on making unjustified, personal presumptions ((edited by a person you probably know)) and which have no relation with the article's content. Like it or not, the article has relevant sources which, as I have said repeatedly, make it GNG, WP:NOTABLE compliant, and so it should be kept. --Küñall (talk) 21:32, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Nope your sources are not relevant. Pichilemu News can hardly be used to establish notability for a Pichilemu article. You haven't still mentioned if you know personally or not the editor of Pichilemu News. Why do I ask this? To avoid a

Judith Moses

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

notability of her work as a civil servant has not been properly demonstrated, since the weight of sourcing is sitting entirely on her election campaigns. And further, even in the original discussion the "consensus" was actually a 50-50 split once you account for the nominator's withdrawal and the anonymous IP who argued that her candidacy itself made her a keep (which it doesn't). I'm certainly willing to withdraw this nomination if the sourcing can be improved to contemporaneous coverage of her prior work, but as currently written and sourced the article does not adequately demonstrate that she's notable enough for other things to get around her lack of notability as a politician.

This new article seemed very interesting, but its references circled back a home page from the good rabbi's temple. A Google search produced no independent verification that this gentleman is a "prominent leader" in U.S. or global Orthodox Judaism, as the article claims. I am suspecting this falls very short of

I agree that the words "a prominent leader of Orthodox Judaism in the United States and around the world" are a little overdone, as is the accepted style in some circles where every serious rabbi is immediately called "leader of his generation" and "venerable sage". Nevertheless, there are some additional sources in the article already, and the article looks acceptable. Debresser (talk) 08:58, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While Wikipedia did once have a consensus that being a candidate for the leadership of a registered political party was a sufficient claim of

notability in and of itself, that is no longer the case. Now, a person must also have a more substantive claim of notability alongside that to qualify for an article — but that has not been demonstrated here, as the only other claim of notability here is an unsuccessful candidacy for a House of Commons seat. Delete — I would recommend redirection to an article about the leadership race itself as an alternative, but all we have is an omnibus list whose only content about the 1950 contest is a raw table of the vote totals, and thus a redirect would serve no useful purpose here.

WP:CRYSTAL cuts both ways — we cannot assert or assume that the event will have any long-term significance, either. Rather, the appropriate response here is to wait until some long-term significance actually emerges before we start an article, rather than getting into tinkling contests about who is or isn't committing the worse CRYSTAL violation. Bearcat (talk) 20:45, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

]

As Bearcat says - we discourage article creation on the spur of the moment, per NEVENT, until you're clear there's long term notability. If you want to write about an instant event, that's what Wikinews is for, but not WP. And I have reviewed the sources and this all seems like a pure accident with no malicious intent, an act of human error. There is very little likelihood this is going to have any notability in the future. --MASEM (t) 20:53, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As Bearcat says, it cuts both ways. We do discourage such quick creations, but once they happen we also discourage quick deletion nominations. They are rarely productive and usually result in no consensus closes because it is difficult to properly assess the event and so opinions are split. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:44, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If there was a chance I felt this could have been expanded, sure, I would have waited. But all signs said "this was a traffic accident" and thus it has no place on WP per

WP:NOT#NEWS even with time for the article to improve. We need people to use Wikinews for these things, and then if they become more than just a traffic accident, transwiki them into en.wiki. --MASEM (t) 13:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

- No, they don't, at least not for standard civilian automotive accident - that's just a result of human error. We need long-lasting, non-local significant to meet WP:N and WP:NEVENT require. There is a slim chance that some law or regulation will be passed if this was determined to have been a preventable accident, but that's a CRYSTAL assumption, and even if such a law was passed, we don't document all such laws either. --MASEM (t) 23:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am basing my comment off experience - there are normally investigations, official government responses, memorials, etc. that make the news in cases like these. Per ComputerJA's comment below, apparently that is already happening here. When a handful of people die in a random accident such things do not happen. That is the difference. NOTNEWS is intended to cover very much one-off events (today's baseball game, the latest comments made by a politician, a crime report) that makes the news once (or maybe twice over two days) only, not everything that someone might consider "routine". --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Thaddeus is right. When so many people die, a disaster will have an enduring notability. If you have a look at
List of road accidents (2010–present)
, virtually all of the accidents that killed this many people have articles - as indeed do plenty of ones that killed fewer people. And a train or air disaster with this many deaths would never get deleted, despite the fact that the argument about a lack of long-term significance would have just as much force.
- Only 16 of those (200-some?) have articles. The rest just have news article links. Also, most of those are ones that either involved normally controlled commuter/public transit (like trains). Major traffic accidents are covered internationally but per WP:N bursts of news coverage is not sufficient for notability and we are not a newspaper. Note that I have not reviewed the 16 articles linked in that list to judge their quality. --MASEM (t) 03:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Masem, I said that most of the ones that killed this many people have articles. Of course, most of the disasters on the list don't have article, but then most of them didn't kill as many people. Neljack (talk) 08:13, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - And a few of those that I've spotchecked are as "bad" as this one for being
      WP:NOT#NEWS, eg 2010 Peru bus crash. Notability requires more than a short burst of coverage,that all these stories otherwise get on the days of and following the accident, but enduring coverage showing a larger impact to the world at large.

- Death count has never been a factor in determining notability - it is enduring significant coverage. Events with larger death counts will tend towards that, but that's not a factor to consider article appropriateness. You have to ask if this will even have the possibility of being a event of worldwide interest within a week, a month, or even a year, and the answer, 99% of the time, is no, since it was simply an accident. --MASEM (t) 14:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not true. All the sources are primary sources, newspaper articles simply reporting on the event. The only possible secondary source is the mention of the condolences given by the gov't, and that's stretching the idea. Death count is no factor in notability considerations - it's enduring coverage which has not been show (news dries out after the 14th on this). In general, a traffic accident that does not involve things likes trains or planes is just a traffic accident, a tragic affair but absolutely not a notable topic in considering the scope of an encyclopedia. --MASEM (t) 02:06, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. Never had to do this one before. I think you need to read
WP:PRIMARY states, "Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved." If the bus crash itself, or perhaps a survivor involved in the crash, were the publisher of the source, then that would be a "primary" source. If a third party is the publisher (ie newspaper), then that is a "secondary" source. In this case we have multiple secondary independent sources reporting extensively on the crash.--Oakshade (talk) 02:34, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]
There's more on that page than just that one sentence. It's been long held that secondary sources are ones that transform information from other sources to make claims, which newspaper reports simply reporting, and not commenting on the story, are doing. This is outlined at
WP:PRIMARYNEWS. (Note this doesn't mean all newspaper stories are primary, but most, like the ones in this article, simply re-iterating events as they are learned, are primary). Even if you reject that, GNG says that a burst of coverage is not a sign of notability - we're looking at a pretty tight 48hr window here where coverage exists, and that also fails the GNG. --MASEM (t) 02:42, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]
Ah that old curious contradicting essay (not guideline or policy). I didn't include all of
WP:PRIMARY (which by the way is an actual policy) because I can't quote an entire page. If you'd like another quote from WP:PRIMARY, "An account of a traffic accident written by a witness is a primary source of information about the accident;" So if the sources of this event were published by the accident witness, according to WP:PRIMARY, that's a primary source. The sources in this case were not published by the accident witnesses but news outlets. --Oakshade (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm just repeating what has been practice - straight up newspaper stories recapping but not analyzing the events of a news story are primary sources. The better question to be asking is "are these secondary sources per our language" as opposed are "these are not primary sources", since we need secondary sources for the GNG. And per the policy, these "provides an author's own thinking based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains an author's interpretation, analysis, or evaluation of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources." (emphasis mine) Which straight up news stories are not. That's why that essay lays out that newspaper stories are generally primary because they fail to have the requirement for secondary sources. (And yes, this is a question asked lots at
WT:NOR as you see in the archives, which supports the notion that recent news reports w/o analysis, simply reiterating details, are primary works, eg [3], [4] and others there) --MASEM (t) 03:36, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]
Practice has been following policy, not a narrow redefining as what is "one step removed" from an event. Anyway, I'm not interested in having a fringe meta discussion about the philosophy of what some people consider primary in an AfD.
Last word doesn't mean that opinion stands. --Oakshade (talk) 23:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Promotional article for non-notable executive with a sideline as a part-time academic. Meets neither the GNG nor WP:PROF. The impressive publication count given is for the entire institute of which he is co-director, not him personally. The listing of everywhere he has given a talk add to the reference list, but is appropriate content only for his own website. His firm is not notable, and the only notable people mentioned are his teachers. DGG ( talk ) 20:25, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not comfortable with this article, which I think violates the spirit of child protection and BLP .

Comment Eeeeewww. I see your point. But on the other hand, I don't know - it is documented and technically notable/seems to pass notability. Personally - VOM. But putting that aside, definitely seems she passes GNG and other stuff... the information is available easily out there. At the risk of incurring howls that I'm being all
Prince George of Cambridge? I'm no fan of child beauty pageants (or indeed beauty pageants in general) but despite the fact that this article is nausea-inducing, I don't think it should be censored just for being about a child who's received attention, publicity, and is linked to various things beyond the pageants. Mabalu (talk) 00:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]

I am not proposing to delete the article about the pageant, which I agree is notable, and should be covered, though without naming the children. Passing the GNG is not sufficient for keeping an article, because there are other policies involved. The basic one here is WP:BLP, whose principle is do no harm. The child is used in this pageant without her informed consent, being too young to give it. Her parents have presumably given it for her, and normally they are assumed to be doing it in the young person's best interests. But we make our own judgements: if we think it is a matter of exploiting a child for secually-related purposes for commercial gain, we can perfectly well decide not to be any part of it. If it should be legal in the jurisdiction where it is occurs, which quite frankly I find incredible, that's irrelevant to whether we want to cover it. If I followed my own preference, I would have immediately deleted it as I have power to do , and asked for oversight, on the grounds of BLP. Since I am aware not everyone would agree, I think it wrong to use admin powers in that way just on the basis of my own feelings, but to ask for a community decision. Of course, if any other admin agrees with me one this, and does delete it on BLP, I will certainly support them. (asking for approval of this as an admin matter would have been an alternative course, but I think we make better decisions at AfD than at the admin noticeboards) If it were a child actor known primarily for playing sexualized roles, yes, I would support deletion, just as I would for a child induced into overtly sexual activity. If you claim this is not overly sexualized, this is personal judgment in either direction, and we will have to go by the community. (That the UK permits this given their other attitudes in the general subject I think a weird anomoly. I consider the UK laws on what it considers child pornography go very far into what I do not consider pornography. and are in their operation sometimes harsh to an unjustified extent. And I am willing to accept almost anything as legitimate sexual activity between young people. This is not among young people, but commercial exploitation. ) DGG ( talk ) 01:43, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Um - are you saying that I am claiming "this is not overly sexualised?" If so, then I am kind of offended by that - I've made my distaste for the whole thing pretty clear. Frankly, I think these pageants are vile and exploitative and to be honest I'm sick of the Fashion AFD category getting all the 19-year old "beauty queens" whose main talent seems to be prancing around in bikinis and stripper shoes dumped in here as IMO they really don't have much to do with fashion, but I accept this one being here due to the associated clothing line. I haven't voted either way because personally, I don't like the fact the page exists AT ALL and personally, I think it shouldn't be here, but on the other hand, I'm not going to argue for deletion just because it seems it would boil down to

WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Even though I REALLY don't like it. Mabalu (talk) 02:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

]

My meaning was "oversexualized to be appropriate for an article about a child in WP". We are not disagreeing that it is oversexualized by decent human standards, tho apparently not for the press and video standards in her country or the US. At some degree of that, I think you agree that we would not include a child, but as I said the level is a matter of judgement. DGG ( talk ) 17:02, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think this page should be deleted. Sure you might not like some of the stuff she's done, but that doesn't mean it's grounds for deletion. She has an acting career, her own TV show, fans, and even music. Why would you delete all that just because of how she started? There's a lot of pages on Wiki of things people don't like, but you don't just delete them. P.S. Sorry I undid your proposed deletion DGG, I'm new to editing and didn't see a way to discuss things other than in article edit comments (finally found it). WickedFabala (talk) 03:34, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm not unsympathetic to the argument
avoid prolonging victimization, but the subject here isn't strictly a victim. This isn't a criminal act or case. The subject's actions have been legal and the legally appropriate consent has been given. DGG, I, or any given Wikipedia editor may disagree with the appropriateness of that consent and that legality, but it is what it is. Even under BLP, it is not Wikipedia's role to right great wrongs. I simply do not see a policy-based cause for deletion here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:39, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]

My point is precisely that she is a victim, whatever may be allowed by the laws of her country. The policy is involved is human decency. DGG ( talk ) 16:49, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She's not a victim. Her parents have put her in pageants, TV shows, and movies and that makes her a victim? It's not about human decency because nothing bad has happened here. WickedFabala (talk) 03:48, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a politician and artist which doesn't make any substantive or

When this article was created in 2004, Wikipedia's consensus allowed for articles on candidates for the leadership of registered political parties. However, due to the change and evolution in Wikipedia's inclusion rules, that's no longer a sufficient claim of

WP:BLP in its current state. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if a more substantive claim of notability, referenced to an improved array of sources, can be added — but in its current form it should be deleted. (I would suggest redirection to an article about the leadership race itself if we had one, but all we have is an omnibus list at Ontario CCF/NDP leadership elections whose content about the 1986 race consists only of a voting results table, so a redirect wouldn't actually serve any substantive purpose here.)

Keep. I boldly moved it, per N2xyk's suggestion above, to title "Finley Pioneer Railway Station", which is more clearly wikipedia-notable, as it is a state-designated historic site apparently. N2xyk was the creator of the article. And I reworded it, still mentioning the committee that operates it, which can of course be mentioned. Frankly, why this AFD at all?

The Courtland Journal

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

Tiny newspaper (self-reported circulation: 548) based in a tiny town. Sources are two listings in business directories and 2 trivial in-passing mentions. Does not meet any notability guideline that I know, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 10:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep yes the circulation is small, but that's just an arbitrary number. It has over a 110 years of publication history and many of those are now archived online by other services. This paper is at present used as a source in four articles on Wikipedia: Trailways Transportation System, Brown Mackie College, Fort Lookout (Kansas), and Elizabeth A. Johnson. With over 100 years of publication and many of that now online, it is very likely that over time that number will grow (it shouldn't shrink) so there is reference value in holding this page. Couple with that the Kansas State Historical Society has mentioned that the paper printed multiple historically significant articles and its appearance in Google Books shows that it will continue to serve as reference value. Just because it's small doesn't make it un-important.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:08, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, "important" doesn't figure among criteria for notability. And not all
WP:RS are notable themselves either (although before accepting a tiny newspaper like this as an RS, I would want to see some evidence of strict editorial oversight).

"Important" speaks to

Would you mind explaining exactly how this passes GNG?? --Randykitty (talk) 16:08, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." One might make an argument that the coverage isn't "significant enough" but simply put the sources provided address "the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." Plain and simple.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read over the word "significant"? How do listings in two directories and two in-passing mentions constitute "significant coverage"?? --Randykitty (talk) 16:49, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I did not read over the word "significant" and I even quoted the definition of that as provided by GNG. Because the information in the article is all derived from the sources without any original research, it meets the standard of "significance" as set by GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A peculiar interpretation ot the meaning of "significance", basically you seem to argue that if something is
verifiable, then it is notable. Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree here. --Randykitty (talk) 17:10, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Apart from the last part of your reasoning, could you perhaps expand on why you think that this newspaper "served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history"? Just having a long history does not equate "significant". Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 20:23, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would think "because the Kansas State Historical Society says so" would do.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps (I don't know how notable that society itself is), but I didn't see them say this. If they had, we'd have at least one good source here, instead of directory listings and in-passing mentions... You linked to one source from that society and one really has to go through it with a fine-toothed comb to find any mention of this newspaper. --Randykitty (talk) 20:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I appear to be badgering, but I'm getting a bit exasperated by these references to "nice coverage". What coverage? The in-passing mentions? The directory listings? Where does anyone say that they have published articles of "historical value"? (All the society did was give a list of sources where info of possible interest might be found and that list seems to be completely uncritical, so I expect that any historian would only use those sources as clues that need further confirmation or as primary source testimonies). --Randykitty (talk) 10:36, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Kansas State Historical Society (now called Kansas Historical Society) did answer that question. I argue that they are a reliable source and can provide valuable information on what is and is not notable about history in the state of Kansas. These questions are asked and answered.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:08, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you cannot back up your claim, that perhaps applies to yourself. --Randykitty (talk) 13:29, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Backing up claim Step 1: Click on the link for the source. Step 2: Read. Step 3: observe Articles of historical note in recent issues of the Courtland journal included: "Eight months in Western Kansas in 1907", August 25, 1960; "The Glasgow Family Prominent in Early History," September 1; "Sorghum Mill-an Early Industry in Courtland Township,' September 8; "Fort Nonsense," a building erected by the Excelsior colony in north central Kansas for protection from the Indians, September 15; and "Courtland School reaches 72nd Anniversary," by Nina Engwall and Anona Blackburn, September 22.

Comment Two things that could do with a bit of consideration before deleting the article: firstly, the corresponding article on Bulgarian Wikipedia contains a very large number of references - I rather suspect that most or all of them are unreliable, but I would like someone with a knowledge of Bulgarian to confirm whether or not there are sufficient reliable sources there that could be used in an article here. Also, an alternative transliteration (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) seems to give a rather higher proportion of non-fringe sources, though I am not sure that any are particularly substantial.

The Existential Adulteration of Harry Potter

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

This article is simply about a piece of fan fiction. It has been self-published in the same way as many other such pieces, and does not even appear to be widely known in the fan community. This is basically just a piece of advertising, supported by no independent references. If this work does become notable in the future, there will be no problem in creating an appropriate article at that time. For now, it is an inadequately referenced puff piece, and should go. RomanSpa (talk) 07:41, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you've read the book, which you obviously haven't, you will know that this is not your average piece of fan fiction. It is used in the psychology community as an intervention, mainly with positive psychologists. It also links to existentialism, and adds to that literary genre. Regardless of how it was published, it lends itself to several fields, and therefore may have merit. I heard about this book in several Harry Potter fan sites, so just because you haven't heard about it on CNN, doesn't mean it is unknown. Dmoriarty123 (talk) 07:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't see where this was covered in anything that would show notability for this work. The problem with asserting that something lends to various genres of literature and fields of research is that you must prove its notability by providing coverage in reliable sources such as newspaper articles, scholarly articles, and the like. I can't see where this has actually received any true coverage anywhere.

Delete it's just a DICDEF, it simply lists several ways that the term is used and points off to other articles. In order to justify an article, it would have to go beyond doing that.

“

The fact that this discussion is not clear what exactly duplicates the article about the term RUnet shows that the word is living separate lives , therefore , you should not delete . Otherwise confusion starts again , which I 'm trying to fight . Do not confuse the Russian-language Internet and the Internet in Russia , they are completely different and numerical , geographical, and legal figures . Also, look interwiki to this article , there was a mixture of everything in a pile - and the Russian Internet , Russian and so I suffered such interwiki it here in this general article. I long felt that the article should be called standardized and not " Runet " . However , under Runet often do not understand Russian or Russian Internet , and their union . So I once again for an article about to leave this word because it chrezyvayno popular and has independent significance.

Thanks, I've struck the above. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:53, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per my rationale at the previous deletion discussion for this article:

Per Wikipedia's

Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as an almanac. This type of information is found in almanacs. Also, importantly, the term "Runet" also applies to other aspects of the internet besides just the internet in Russia. From the article: "in 2009, a Yandex report stated that Runet can pertain to sites written in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Kazakh languages, as well as sites in any language published in the national domain .am, .az, .by, .ge, .kg, .kz, .md, .ru, .su, .tj, .ua или uz".^[1]

Therefore, a redirect to the Internet in Russia article would not improve the encyclopedia and would be inaccurate, because this topic also pertains to other countries. Also, using a translation service, the article in the reference within this comment contains a very detailed analysis of the term. The term is exceedingly more complex than a simple dictionary definition.

Thomas Hodges (artist)

Article is about a banker turned photographer and questions have been raised about his notability for a long period. They remain unresolved and discussion with a representative(?) on the article's Talk page have failed to identify any further reliable news coverage, reviews or proof to support the article. I've edited many articles about creative professionals and this one, to me, looks a bit 'smoke and mirrors', based largely on CV's, online profiles and 'stuff on the internet'. There is proof of several nominations for photography awards (of unknown importance) but I'm not sure this is sufficient to meet

WP:CREATIVE notability criteria. There is a claim to have work in the collection of the Shanghai University but I've been able to find any proof of this. Either way, his notability (or otherwise) needs resolving. Sionk (talk) 17:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply

Note that Sionk (talk · contribs) Is simply prejudicial, as evidenced by what is written above. Hodges is a banker turned "artist", who works with the medium of photography (as well as other media). The artist has had several major shows, has just completed a new major body of work, and has just had a documentary film made about him. Sionk (talk · contribs) writes above "discussion with a representative(?) on the article's Talk page have failed to identify any further reliable news coverage, reviews or proof to support the article". What nonsense is this editor talking? I have provided extensive information to assist in updating this artist's page, and notoriety was not in question prior to Sionk (talk · contribs) tagging it as such. The question mark against "representative" is intended to indicate what exactly? Also, this editor's statement of 'smoke and mirrors' requires clarification, as the editor seems to have no understanding of the arts and by self-admission is not a professional in the arts. The editor is an incompetent who for whatever reason, seems intent on deleting (not improving!) a perfectly legitimate page. Expoarts (talk) 08:34, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hodges'

notability was questioned in 2010 and the poor sourcing was questioned in 2012. You say you have a conflict of interest and your name suggests you are a gallery, so I assumed you must be a representive of the artist. Rather than personal insults, try and stick to finding proof about the claims in the article and, particularly, finding significant news coverage about him (a requirement to prove notability). P.S. I have not self-admitted I am "not a professional in the arts", not sure where you got that idea from. Sionk (talk) 13:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply

Jason Diamond

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

A mildly promotional article, with no evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines. The external links (the nearest there is to any references) are to Jason Diamond's personal web site and to the web site of his business. Nor have I been able to find significant coverage of him in any reliable source. The article strives to try to give an impression of significance, using peacock-wording such as "recognized for his work within the medical community", but giving no source for that statement, nor telling us who recognises his work or in what way. The article also goes on to refer to "his role as a television personality", but that appears to mean that he once appeared on a television show, and even that is unsourced, and is not mentioned on either of his web sites. Note: Two earlier versions of this page have been deleted by PROD. A request was made to history merge the current version with an AfC page that it was based on, and for some reason the administrator who did the history merge also restored the history of those two earlier versions, and also a deleted attack page about a totally different person of the same name. I have removed the attack page, but left the other two articles about the same Jason Diamond as the present article. However, anyone checking the history of the article may find it helpful to know that the present article dates from 23:20, 2 July 2013‎, the earlier history being the other articles.)

WP:BIO. --Drm310 (talk) 15:21, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

COMMENT per notability guidelines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.

Pass- Among other profiles found here (http://www.loveannajames.com/press.html), the Architectural Digest (this is like the bible of the design world) did a feature on her (http://www.loveannajames.com/pictures/slide366.jpg). She was also interviewed by The Telegraph. These are not minor mentions but significant coverage. I am working with my university design department (they have an archive of design magazines)to get bigger scans. The other print publications like Casa Lux, Homes and Interiors, House and Garden, etc. have websites. Casa Vogue and other fashion magazines with interior design special editions have too. These are specialized print publications and are known in design circles. If Wiki allows gossip mags (US Weekly) and tabloids (Daily Mail) for sources I don't see any reasons why these are not "proper" evidence for her significance.

The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.

Pass- She transforms antique furniture to contemporary art. Not just antique furniture by the looks of it because she also did a make-over with the cello by Natalie Clein. There is also the graffiti art she made which arguably is her most featured work, the Verona cabinet. Her trademark technique is making traditional/antique furniture into modern pieces.

The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

Pass- Natalie Clein, well known cellist, commissioned James to do a makeover of her cello. She had a concert wherein she played the cello at the Wallace Collection, which, from its own Wiki page is a museum focusing on decorative arts which James specializes in. So it's definitely not just a showcase for the cellist but a showcase for the artist too. The Verona wardrobe has been featured in a lot of design magazines. See press clippings.

The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Pass Same as above. She has also been featured in "Tanya Baxter Gallery, London Design Festival, Orleans House, Clerkenwell Design Week, Homes & Interiors Scotland Exhibition, Culture Label, Urban Spaces and Tent London". Press clippings here too http://www.loveannajames.com/press.html (I will try to get bigger scans from my university archive for these print publications). These are exhibitions because she's not a painter or a sculptor. For a decorative artist, that's the equivalent of being featured in a museum. Unsung Artists (talk) 13:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Notability is also have "significant coverage" of the topic. Which she has none. Most of the sources on her article page are from her own website. I'm also concerned that Unsung Artists is just another sockpuppet of Fairyspit. LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:16, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It is certainly the case that Ms James does the job the article says she does, and it seems to be true that she once dated an actor. However, simply doing your job does not make you notable. The various press clippings and articles about her are not critical assessments of her work, and do not describe her as making a notable contribution to her discipline: they are simply the bread-and-butter of her industry. This article seems to have been around for a while now, but it still doesn't say clearly why she's any more significant or worthy of our attention than any other decorative artist. Just being a decorative artist isn't enough: she has to be notable at her job. As for her once dating a famous actor, I merely observe that notability is not acquired by contagion. RomanSpa (talk) 13:18, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The first book does not qualify as independent source as it is done by Shell Bitumen. The second source mentions the name cariphalte only six times, although it has more than 400 pages. Cariphalte is not the amin topic of this book and it is clearly not a significant coverage. The third source mention it only in the 8th chapter, which is written by an employee of Shell Bitumen, so it is not an independent source. The fourth source is written and published by Shell, so, again, it s not an independent source. So, these sources are not sufficient to satisfy
WP:GNG but probably are enough for merging it into Asphalt. Beagel (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
]

Fair enough, even if I disagree with the assessment of the second book source (
WP:GNG does not require the topic to be the main source topic, and the coverage is significant enough to be used as a RS), it is true that other sources seem not to be independent. However I'd say the source in the third book, while written by a Shell employee, is within an overall independent book, so it could half-qualify. In any case I'd rather be lenient and keep the article; otherwise merge. --cyclopia ^speak! 14:58, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Lacks coverage about Jonze instead of by Jonze. Notability is not inherited from those he has reviewed or interviewed. Sourcing does not support his notability, just that he's doing his job. His possible future career does not make him notable. duffbeerforme (talk) 22:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Duffbeerforme: You require 1-2 reliable sources for proving notability. You've no idea what is 'notability'. There are at least 6 sources about Jonze from others, you lack the capability of judging sources. OccultZone (Talk) 04:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let's look at the sources not labelled as being by Jonze. At time of writing

1 Best of a bad bunch but lacks any depth of coverage about Jonze. Just another story about someone else.

2 Not a reliable source, just Jonze talking about himself.

3 An advert by his employer. Not independent coverage.

4 Not a reliable source, just a listing.

6 A bunch of Wikipedia article clumsily bundled into book form. Extremely obvious that it's not a reliable source. Placed in the article by someone who lacks the capability of judging sources.

10 Just a quote from his work, no depth of coverage.

11 Op Ed piece telling an anecdote about Morrissey and Jonze.

12 Interview by Jonze, not about him

13 About Kaiser Chiefs, Jonze was just the reporter

There is not multiple independent reliable sources with any depth of coverage about Jonze. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anything that has been published by publishers like Hachette UK, John Blake Publishing, Voices.yahoo, etc, it cannot be devalued. It is funny that you haven't mentioned any of them in details. journalism-now.co.uk is also a reliable source, and it is written by Joe Rutterford, not Jonze, it is an interview. So once again, his notability has been proven. Just check how many results he has on net, and even inside wikipedia. For about last 7 days, I haven't looked him up, but you may want to read[13], and it was added to La Roux, before I would create this page. OccultZone (Talk) 06:58, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Publication by a reputable publisher does not turn a trivial mention into in depth coverage. Yahoo Voices is not a reliable source. Quote from their disclaimer "Yahoo Inc. ("Yahoo") does not evaluate or guarantee the accuracy of any articles, videos or other posted information on the Yahoo Contributor Network ("YCN") (collectively, "YCN Content"). All YCN Content is provided by YCN Contributors in the YCN community, like you. None of the YCN content is written, or edited by Yahoo employees." Journalism Now may have the byline of Joe Rutterford (who?) but its still just rote questions answered without any analysis. Question. Unquestioned answer. Journalism Now is also not a reliable source. Who are the editors? Who are the publishers? Who has oversight? Where is any evidence of their reputation for fact checking? And that La Roux piece you link is about La Roux not about Jonze. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:54, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Last link, was meant to clear that Jonze has been highlighted by multiple sources for his reviews. Although its a joke that voices.yahoo is not a reliable source. Everyone has their guidelines, no one claims to be best really. But whatever they print is, it is not based on rumors, but something that happened. Although, Jonze is also mentioned by Daily Mail, Nytimes, etc. OccultZone (Talk) 04:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. I don't think the Guardian talking about their own journalist makes him notable. The rest is either trivial or unreliable. Spinning Spark 15:36, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Other than Guardian itself, there are hundreds of WP:RS, talking about him. Even if we take his current position, he seems to have mentioned by many reliable sources, including nytimes, dailymail. You just have to look around, before making your opinion. OccultZone (Talk) 04:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The question is: Is this guy notable? From a he's-the-music-editor-at-The-Guardian standpoint, yes. From a Wikipedia standpoint, which demands reliable sources to supplement the claim (which OccultZone has yet to provide), I lean towards ~~Delete~~ although my gut says this guy is worth it. Or could there be a redirect to The Guardian page of some sort? I notice on the Guardian article that the opinion editor is listed, but no other editors. GRUcrule (talk) 19:00, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@GRUcrule:, all you have to do is search "Tim Jonze". Recently, multiple news sites mentioned him,[14],[15] why would they, if he's not notable? So deletion is probably no solution here, only editing is. OccultZone (Talk) 04:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did Google him, and no, reliable sources did NOT appear. The sources you continue to provide don't qualify because they don't cover Jonze. That's the issue - the sources need to be about the subject of the article. Having one line mention somebody does not qualify, as most of the sources you've provided do (or are by the subject of the article himself). I'd encourage you to dive in deep at

I haven't said that they specifically covered him, infact some do, but for his journalism. But that is same with just every other notable editor or journalist. And he's just 34 yet, like other editor mentioned. I am not getting how subject is not passing WP:Notability. Can you redirect me to the correct sentence? And he passes notability guideline, because he has been mentioned by a number of known media. OccultZone (Talk) 13:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mentions are not sufficient to establish notability. Take a look at what

Delete. The blog has articles, but not really enough to show how this is notable, as they're both two articles that only say that someone plans to make a film. I'm going to go ahead and remove the blatant falsehoods from the article because come on- Ang Lee is not going to be co-directing this. The only place that even remotely mentions him is in the article where the director hopes that Lee will come and direct with him. It's kind of the same type of thing where someone will mention that they hope that ________ actor will come and marry them, when it comes down to it. It's almost enough to where I'm tempted to tag it as a hoax, but I do think that the film is real. I just think that everything else in the article (Jackie Chan to perform, Lee to direct) is stretching the truth so much that it's pretty much a lie, possibly in an attempt to drum up publicity for the film.

What's also troublesome is that despite a complete lack of confirmation of any actor starring in the film, someone is going around and adding this film to various filmographies of big name actors such as Rajinikanth and Tony Jaa. I've removed the claims, as there is nothing to substantiate them, but I'd like to ask (since it's most likely that this was done by the film's crew/director, meaning that they'll likely check in on this page) that anyone adding this please stop. Don't re-add these until the film has actually started active filming and we have multiple non-primary sources that confirm their participation and aren't just listing rumors.

Delete Minimal impact on citation indices. Too early. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Keep -- citation in the NY Times as a significant authority plus tenured full professor at a school with a significant art history reputation is enough to keep. Citation indices are not important for art curators; importance of exhibitions (Andrea Zittel, for instance) is what is important. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. NYT is a good source, but what is concerning here is that other aspects that would help the case (exhibitions and such) are sourced with web ephemera or personal pages. For example, the sentence "Her writings on artists such as [many names here] has[sic] formed the basis for public art studies – an academic branch of art history and visual culture" is obviously notable, except that it is sourced by a document written by Novakov herself – it is therefore merely an unsubstantiated claim at the moment. There is other text having the same problem. I wonder if there are any actual
WP:RS to substantiate these? I will look around a bit and reserve an opinion until later. Agricola44 (talk) 15:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC).[reply
]

Yes, I agree, that it's problematic -- I hadn't had a chance to look too but, but her edited book of essays, "Essays on Women's Artistic and Cultural Contributions 1919-1939: Expanded Social Roles for the New Woman Following the First World War by Paula Birnbaum, Anna Novakov" has gotten quite favorable reviews in two important art journals. I only have access to one of them, unfortunately not the most prominent. Editing an anthology is a shaky point for notability, but she is singled out in that review for especially compelling and bold compilations. She also has a number of other reviews on JSTOR. It's not an overwhelming case, but I think with the NYTs it's enough. I also felt compelled to argue against Xxanthippe's invoking of citation indices again in a field where they're not used (what are the h-indexes of the top art curators, for comparison?) -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:09, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another convention for academics' AfDs is that we don't weigh edited works the same as authored works – that is to say the former don't count for terribly much. (See e.g. this same argument David Eppstein just made at an AfD that closed last week.) I also don't think that tenure is critical here either. I will have time over the next day or two to look into this in detail. W.R.T. h-index, I see that thread has developed more over at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) – will try to add more there too. Thanks! Agricola44 (talk) 18:44, 8 April 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Keep. This is a close call for me, but I'd argue that the subject meets
WP:PROF through criteria #7 (substantial impact outside academia in academic capacity) and #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). This is based on Michael Scott Cuthbert's arguments, plus the fact that the subject's edited book Veiled Histories, is currently in more than 200 major libraries worldwide according to WorldCat.--Eric Yurken (talk) 00:05, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Relisting comment: I was sorely tempted to close this as a keep, but although the current arguments are quite strong, this is admittedly a borderline case. As such, I'd like a bit more of a consensus to form. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:47, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In checking a little more closely, it seems that Veiled Histories and quite a few of her other books are, in fact, edited works rather than authored works. I agree with
WP:RS beyond the single NYT piece from 1998. In my opinion, this single source, taken with very weak holdings, don't demonstrate notability. Agricola44 (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2014 (UTC).[reply
]
Agree with most of what you say here thought not the overall conclusion. My sense from reading dozens if not hundreds of reviews of edited volumes is that the citation of the level and quality of compilation here is significantly beyond what is singled out in most reviews. If only (sigh) we had the ability/time/money to bring in a group of high position art curators to help us understand better the sorts of things that distinguish a run-of-the-mill curator from someone who has made a significant (WP:GNG/WP:PROF/WP:CREATIVE) impact on the field. I suspect that our tools are very blunt here and the both Agricola44 and I are doing our best with very limited knowledge to sort it out. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 08:16, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I reviewed
WP:BIO (notability of living persons); she came out just barely notable. One reason is per Eric Yurken. She has influenced the world around her enough to be on Wikipedia. Another reason is that she just plain wrote too many books. Searching her on Google Books, she wrote many works, including some where she collaborated with other authors. The only issue is independent sources, but other than that, this article ought to stay...for now. Mr. Guye (talk) 19:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Comment Various online articles on rail guns, coil guns, kinetic energy weapons, and similar systems, mention fictional sources such as the films Eraser and The Last Starfighter, the novels The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Heinlein) and Earthlight (Arthur C Clarke), TV shows Babylon 5 and Stargate Atlantis, and video games such as Quake, MGS, Fallout, Red Faction, and Halo Reach.[18][19][20][21][22] I can't find much detailed discussion (there are books on science in some franchises like Star Trek, but I can't find anything relevant to this). I thought there would be more sources. I think some of this was put into a separate article because people didn't want it in the main articles, so I'm reluctant to say merge (aside from question of where to merge: Kinetic bombardment#In science fiction is overlapping). --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:44, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pburka (talk) 20:12, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, more supporters than what? Secondly, the number of likes a person or an organization has on Facebook is not notable in and of itself — and since it's a number that's subject to constant fluctuation as new fans click "like" and old ones get disillusioned with the team and click "unlike" or quit Facebook altogether, a dynamic list of this type is virtually unmaintanable.

This is not a dictdef and is similar to articles like international school, madrasa, yeshiva, and other types of specialized educational institutions. —Lowellian (reply) 06:18, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

Keep
WP:DICDEF explains that "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written. Another perennial source of confusion is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead editors to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent." This confusion is what we seem to have here yet again. There's plenty more than can be said about such expatriate schools. See the Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Diaspora], for example.

Comments I can see this is unlikely to be deleted but there are some points that need addressing. As a definition, it only covers one particular meaning. A "Chinese school" could also be a school in China. It could be a school teaching in the Chinese language. It could also be a language school teaching Chinese to non-Chinese. The one nearest me teaches Chinese to people with both Chinese and English ancestry. The Routledge Handbook of the Chinese Diaspora examples seem mostly of teaching the curriculum in Chinese, in South-East Asia.

The article sort of qualifies this by excluding schools in China with "In Western countries" but it's bad practice to have an article focussed in such a way. We have e.g.
Value Added Tax (United Kingdom)
, one of many, focussed on it in the tax in a particular region. As noted above there are Chinese schools elsewhere in Asia than China, probably in many other countries of the world, so "In Western countries" isn't accurate either.

International schools, madrasas and yeshivas are all full schools, i.e. they take students full time, and are all well understood. There's no 'Chinese cultural school' equivalent to a madrasa or yeshiva while international schools are for students of all backgrounds, including Chinese, so there are no obvious parallels between those articles and this.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 20:07, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm of the opinion that the previous three nominations are reason enough. gsk 08:47, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note: part of the reason I'd argued for this to go through AfD again is because the article had far more coverage when it was re-created than it did at previous versions of the article here and at

Keep Please note that GSK has entered a reply to basing his/her deletion of this article on the grounds of past opinion while ignoring reasonable questions. Let's look at the facts of this article. This "Average Homeboy" page has more coverage and sourcing than the prior pages. Also, the text was NOT substantially the same. This "Average Homeboy" article had a new author along with new credible references. These facts should be considered.

Regarding notability, I would argue that Time.com and USAToday.com are notable sources which can be easily verified by clicking on the references. They merit notability on web content alone. Also, with media references such as Comedy Central and Vh1 Television Network Appearances for Average Homeboy is Significant Coverage. I would argue that this article is notable.

I would also like to argue for inclusion since the coverage has been over a relatively wide span of time. There have been other third party Wikipedia pages written which contain "Average Homeboy." You can find "Average Homeboy" on these Wikipages:

"Tosh.0" - (Season 2 Episode 5,) "Doogtoons," "ROFLCon" (Denny Blaze 2008), and "Group X."

Another topic of argument is fairness and indiscriminate inclusion of topics. On the Wikipedia Page, "Group X" who has only 4 references listed, the article says "Group X" performed at ROLFcon in 2008 with Denny Blaze (Average Homeboy) along with 3 other Internet Stars, all 3 of which have Wikipedia articles, including "Trocadero (band)" with 0 references and "Lemon Demon" with 4 references. To exclude Average Homeboy is simply unfair.

Far LESS credited articles exist on Wikipedia: "Animutation," "Tyson (dog)," "Little Superstar," "Dancing Baby," "Megwin," "Samwell (entertainer)," "Melody Oliveria," "Phil Mason," "Everyday (video)," "Salad Fingers," "Straight No Chaser (group)," "Pants on the Ground," "Matt Harding," "Numa Numa (video)," "Beckii Cruel," "Dramatic Chipmunk," "Tiffany Alvord," "Joe Luginbill," "Rucka Rucka Ali," "Peter Oakley," "Nataly Dawn," "Jordan Maron," "Jack Conte," "Hampster Dance," "One Pound Fish," etc.

GSK False Claims of Sock Puppetry

GSK is obviously upset that I have contested the deletion of the Wikipedia Article, "Average Homeboy." I would like to complain that GSK isn't following common Wikipedia Procedures with his lack of respect for other editors. Not only did I contest the deletion of the article, but also Tokyogirl79 did too. I am 100 percent confident that any admin will find that we are 2 different editors. No Sock Puppetry has occurred with this argument to prevent deletion. Rayhazen Rayhazen Rayhazen (talk) 05:02, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You actually think I'm upset? And contrary to your comment on my talk page, I don't believe Tokyogirl is absolutely against its deletion either. She seems to be in between keeping it and deleting it. gsk 06:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fairly undecided, myself. I do think that it could squeak by, but I can understand where the arguments for deletion are coming from. I mostly want this judged on the new sources, so that way we can show that we have taken them into consideration for whatever way this eventually goes- keep or delete.

Weak Delete While it seems to be popular, I don't think the importance was demonstrated by any of the refs. While there are lots of sources, but many mention this video as a "best of" or "worst 10" type collection. It also does not seem to meet the more stringent notability guideline for a song

Keep - I haven't been watching/following this article and didn't participate in previous AfDs but I'm a little surprised to see this one as so controversial. Just checking Denny's website provides a few more newspaper/magazine stories, several of which are features/profiles. Most are local and likely wouldn't be sufficient on their own, but combined with what's already used in the article I find it to be far past the threshold of GNG/NPEOPLE. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:07, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
