Unremarkable TV show. Lasted for two episodes and few if any useful things turn up on Google. Does not need its own article and does not appear suitable for redirecting.

- I say "does not appear suitable for redirecting" because I'm not sure where it would redirect to, for example which of the show's hosts, but you do seem to have the most likely candidate. Still, I too question how useful such a redirect would be on what is apparently a fairly obscure TV show. Guy 04:27, 13 February 2014 (UTC)]

- That's my biggest concern as well. I'm not a follower of the Jackass crowd, but for a while there I did sort of keep an eye on some of what they were making and I don't remember this show at all. (。◕‿◕。) 11:32, 13 February 2014 (UTC)]

Not an article at all; it's a page consisting entirely of an embedded map. Ironholds (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- This page is fantastically useful for people following the conflict. Who cares if it's an 'embedded map', its a incredible piece of work. Keep updating, don't delete. Please — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.164.117.225 (talk) 23:16, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, though perhaps move to wherever an image should be located. This was developed in Template space, and was just moved to article space, then promptly nominated for deletion. I think it needs to be moved to wherever detailed maps / images are kept. Certainly it could exist over in Wikimedia commons. I believe there also are photos and maps and other images in some Wikipedia area, though those are often moved to Commons then deleted from here. It is not appropriate to AFD this, at all. There is just confusion from someone having done an inappropriate move. Note, i see it is linked from articles like Syrian Civil War, though in that article I don't see where it appears (perhaps it is linked from a navigation template there). It's an awesome-looking map, obviously useful, needs to be just relocated appropriately, not deleted. --doncram 00:38, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Seems reasonable; investigating the history I see the same thing. Why on earth was it moved into article space? User:Barcaxx1980? Ironholds (talk) 00:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- This is indeed a template and not an article. User:Barcaxx1980 (new to wikipedia) suddenly and without consulting with anyone moved the template to an article, which is a completely ridiculous move! I have now moved it back to a template. Can we now close this discussion before wasting more of people's time as the article is now only a redirect (which can be deleted)? Tradediatalk 01:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

- Merge and Redirect to Syrian Civil War. Although I concur that the map is useful, it doesn't seem to meet the standards for a stand alone article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:05, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep. The map is very good, and gives important information that is not in anywhere else. I am with keeping the map. I moved it to an article because some users requested that to avoid deletion. Now, Tradedia moved it back to a template which is ok. The important thing is to keep the map, no matter if as a template or an article. --Barcaxx1980 (talk) 10:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep and improve. I'm against keeping dictionary-like articles as a general rule, but kancho is pretty well-known nowadays (as attested to by there being Wikipedia articles for it in 11 different languages). We have an article for "wedgie", so I can't see a reason not to keep kancho. Nominated for deletion many times in the past and always kept. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- The improvements made to this page have been turning it into the stub you're reading now. It is only known because of anime fans. Its existence as a cultural phenomenon of note is minimal within Japan. Just because there are a bunch of old AFDs that closed as keep 5 years ago and 4 years ago, and the mere existence of what appears to be equally as subpar articles on other language projects does not mean it's notable according to this project's guidelines anymore.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 23:07, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- I think "its existence as a cultural phenomenon of note is minimal within Japan" is debatable. FBOFW, I'd have to agree with Bueller 007 that Wedgie is a good comparison. Dekimasuよ! 01:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Existing as a common practice does not mean it's notable for coverage, particularly when its notability is only supported by its use in cartoons.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- This is a silly comment. I've personally seen this schoolchildren do this to each other and had this done to me by schoolchildren in Japan. It's not used only in cartoons, and even if it were, that wouldn't be any reason to delete it. Everyone in Japan knows what this term means, and as I said above, there are Wikipedia pages in 11 other languages for カンチョー. This act is widely known. If it somehow differs from wedgie (other than its country of origin), explain how or else I think you should also nominate wedgie for deletion and see how that goes. In addition, there are plenty of non-cartoon Google Image hits in Japanese [1], so claiming that "Its existence as a cultural phenomenon of note is minimal within Japan" is quite questionable. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:17, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- How are we to know that their articles on this subject are not as poorly writen as our own? And just because it is a Japanese word does not mean we cover it here. Thats Wiktionary's job. There's no cultural context here. It exists but is not something that can adequately be covered unless you go "it shows up in this cartoon".—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. The term is not a term just for anime fans. It is a general term, known by all Japanese, used in TV comedy, anime, manga, and children's (and even adult) play. I checked the Asahi Shinbun database, and it, for instance, has an article on 2008.5.31 on children still using the term. There's another article on 2012.9.14 on an IBM employee charged with sexual harassment doing "kancho" on female employees. There's also another article on "kancho" on 1992.7.17. A search of the Oya Soichi database finds 13 articles since 1998 in the weekly tabloids with "kancho" in the title (in the meaning given in the article), including a number on how Kazuhiro Kiyohara liked to do it a lot. There are plenty of RS in the mainstream media in Japan that show this is not just a popular term, but a popular phenomenon. Michitaro (talk) 03:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)]

- Comment Nearly all of the cited references seem to provide considerable non-trivial coverage of the subject in independent published reliable sources. Perhaps it's not sufficient coverage to establish notability, but I strongly disagree with the nominator that it doesn't exist. While the lede introduces the subject as being about the blog alone, I am conflating the company, its blog, and its non-blog activities as a single subject; some coverage is about the company's parties more than the blog. ––Agyle (talk) 01:16, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Defaulting to, I guess, "soft redirecting," as it seems like there's not consensus to delete (even according to the nom), but there does seem to be agreement to either eventually keep it outright (if the enough sources are found/valid/whatever) or leave it as a redirect until better sourcing can be found (thereby maintaining the page history).

- Redirect to List of BBS software. Honestly, most of those software packages need to turn into redirects. They were fun back in the 1980s, but they're simply not notable by Wikipedia standards. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I think a WP:BLAR might a good solution for now, but keeping the page's history. This might actually be slightly notable. After reading the Maximus CBSC review I found above, I learned that the Maximus software was inspired by Opus. Assuming it might have been a little influential, I searched a little more; it's easier to find relevant citations if you search for "opus" (without "CBCS") and "wynn wagner" but exclude his later self-published books (which are unrelated to the software) [14]. That way I found two BBS software roundup books from the early 1990s that have 1-2 pages(s) coverage of Opus (can't tell exactly how much coverage because only snippets are visible for me in GS):
- With those two in mind, it might be justifiable to keep this page's history & rewrite it based on those secondary sources. Library holdings for these two books are pretty sparse (on Worldcat) so it might take a while for anyone to get them and fix the page.

- Well, I think a
- I dunno. If you feel it's enough, then I'll strike my vote, and we can speedily keep this. There's probably something out there that describes this software, as it was historically important (one of the earlier IBM PC-compatble BBS programs), but it was popular before the explosion of interest that happened in the late 80s and early 90s, and much of the coverage by reliable sources was for commercial software. There's mountains of BBS cruft out there. I still think most of these articles should be redirected or merged, but I'm willing to pick my battles. At the very least, someone is going to have to go through all these nostalgia-filled articles and remove all the original research. I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet, but I'll probably get around to it, eventually. Many of these are very old articles, dating to the period before we even required reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- The potential sourcing I found is pretty thin. It's not clear how much depth of coverage those two books have for Opus; I can see maybe three paragraphs in one book and one in the other via GB snippets. Stuff with far more depth of coverage but similarly weak in terms of number of sources has been deleted before. (I'm thinking of BP Logix.) The other thing clear from the table of contents of Dvorak's book is that there were a lot of similar BBS software packages. So let's see how other Wikipedia editors evaluate the potential sources.

- Delete. An arbitrary list that fails WP:LISTN. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:29, 1 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep. This is a new article and there appears to have been no tagging of problems at the article, and there is no discussion at its Talk page (Talk:List of the most remote substantially populated cities,
currently a red-linksince started by me). There is citation of Guiness book of world records in the article. All the information may be from there, and it may not be primary research at all. And, non-controversial facts don't all need to be supported by references, if they have not been challenged, and no distance given or any other fact in the article has been challenged. Sure, try to educate some about need for references, and add some tags. But, geez, people, help the newbies out a bit, and don't hit them with an AFD when not necessary! (I didn't check to see if the original contributor is a newbie, but whether they are or not, my view is pretty much the same, don't hassle imperfect contributors unnecessarily). --doncram 22:30, 1 March 2014 (UTC)- Sympathy for the newbies is no reason to keep an article, nor is an AfD a sign of hostility towards them. The list makes non-trivial claims (the Guinness book is almost certainly not the main source) and includes OR from start to finish. I can't verify the accuracy of the claims (and I shouldn't have to, that's why we have ]
- Those cities have populations well below 1 million, the threshold stated clearly in the article. Stellenbosch's size is just 77,000! And, we'll have to agree to disagree, about an AFD being hostile or not. --doncram 13:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- If this arbitrary threshold of 1 million is to be taken seriously, then both Cape Town and Johannesburg would have to be removed from the list, given that the population of the cities (as opposed to the metropolitan areas) don't quite reach that figure. About AfDs being somehow 'hostile', there is nothing to discuss: they have been part of Wikipedia since the very beginning and no matter what you think of them they are a core part of the project.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Obviously the Guiness source of facts for this article uses the metropolitan area sizes, not the arbitrary city borders within the physical cities. And, yes, Wikipedia has long had this feature, which is necessary I suppose but in implementation is often/usually very unfriendly, particularly when wp:BEFORE is not carried out. Isn't all this sourced from Guinness book of world records? --doncram 14:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Follow your own suggestion and read WP:BEFORE, especially this part: "The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)". As I have already said, the Guinness book is almost certainly not the main source of the tables, you should be able to confirm that by just reading the article, so it counts as original research and should be deleted. Do you have any policy-based reason for wanting to keep it, other than deletion might offend someone's sensibility?--eh bien mon prince (talk) 15:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- The nomination is for stated reason "The article is original research and includes no inline references". I don't believe it is original research, it is referenced to Guinness (and no facts have been disputed, anyhow). And, so what about inline vs. end-of-article referencing. Sure, tag it to call for inline referencing. There is no policy-based reason for deleting it. It is interesting and useful and sourced and valid as a Wikipedia article. --doncram 17:28, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- The Guinness book is not the source of the article's data, which is therefore the product of original research. I challenge you to prove that this is not the case.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 17:52, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- For what it is worth, i went to a public library yesterday and checked its collection of Guinness books. It had several editions, including i think 2001, 2004, 2005, and the various editions differed in what they covered about cities. 2004 had a most remote-from-any-ocean city mentioned (some city in western china), the others before and after did not have that. Also it turns out that one can search online for various Guinness records at http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/. Although it is possible this material is covered in an edition that I did not find, I didn't find the material covered. I still like the material, think it is factual and interesting and useful, akin to List of enclaves and exclaves, but I must admit that it does not seem to be sourced where I thought it was sourced. --doncram 22:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Question: Is there a pressing need for immediate deletion? A template requesting improvements and reliable sources was added on March 1, 2014. The article was then nominated for deletion on March 2, 2014. Isn't it possible to leave the article as is for a little while to see if somebody comes along and tries to improve it? If nobody does, then delete it.

The Journal Sentinel 2012 source says ""I don't even know if it's a rivalry when you get dominated like that."

- independent of the subject." There is also the additional requirement that there is significant coverage, meaning that there must be quite a few reliable sources which are each independent of each other. As of now the sources you have provided are not reliable in that they are either primary sources controlled by the subject of the article, or they do not come from a site that is known for its fact checking or transparent editorial process. None of the above editors have been able to find anything on Bruce Benfiel which would qualify for adequate sourcing, which makes us skeptical that such sources could be found. If you are able to fulfill these requirements, I would withdraw my nomination. Additionally I'm not the gatekeeper, so even if I choose not to withdraw, but you are able to find enough sources to convince the closing admin that the article is worth keeping then the article will most likely stay.

Given appearances on notable TV shows, position as a syndicated columnist, and reasonable book sales through significant publishers (this one is in Amazon's top 25,000, at the moment, which may not sound like much, but is pretty good for a book three years after release), it seems at least quite possible that there is coverage of her out there that would meet our criteria (and given the rough state of the article in terms of Wikipedia format, I would assume the creator isn't someone who specializes in knowing what an article needs to be bulletproofed.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:52, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

- Comment It does very much sound like a typical problem in game theory. There seem to be enough articles to initially doubt the assertion of non-notability.

- Keep Looking into this more, this topic is a well-known game-theoretic problem from the Talmud. A GScholar search for "Bankruptcy problem" talmud yields 751 hits, with every paper on the first page of hits being about the game theoretic aspect of the problem; this looks like a promising survey of the field. Likewise, "Bankruptcy problem" game theory gets about 1,090 GScholar hits. There are more than enough sources to make this a notable topic and on which to base an article. The article itself seems fine as a stub, but of course could be improved. I'll note that Entitlement (fair division) is on the more general topic, but discusses the game-theoretic aspects, too.

Adverse effects of fluoroquinolones
This article is a redundant fork with the
Davidfull disappeared from Wikipedia in early 2011, about the time the FQTRF website disappeared. Since that time, I've gradually rewritten the main articles of this series. Given by background as a former pharmaceutical scientist I've asked
The largest difference between the adverse event descriptions in the Quinolone article and the Adverse Effects article is the absence in the former article of AEs for which I could not find MEDRS compliant sources. Bearing in mind that these articles are supposed to be summaries and not detailed treatises, I've focused on the key AEs, so its possible that there are some rare or non-serious AEs that have been left out. I've focused on the key ones of tendon damage, neurological adverse effects and Clostridium infections. So at this point the separate adverse events article seems to be a redundant fork, and I believe it is time to remove it. I'm 100% open to suggestions if anyone wants to put an extra set of eyes on this and suggest anything from Adverse Events that should be transferred over to Quinolones.
As the subject will likely be raised, I'd like to explicitly state that I have no COI with respect to any of these articles, and no history of employment with any of the manufacturers. Except for one relatively minor drug with modest sales, all of the fluoroquinolones are now generics, sold as commodities for pennies a pill. There is a small amount of litigation going on, but most of it has been settled, so to the best of my knowledge there is really not a lot of potential for COI around these drugs in any case.

- Delete per Formerly 98. POV forks run against policy anyways, and the individual articles on the different fluoroquinolones are better for discussing their adverse effects rather than trying discuss them under a broad umbrella article where you run the risk of WP:SYNTH where an individual drugs AEs may be falsely generalized to all fluoroquinolones. I'd also like to thank F98 for his work on this important class of articles.AioftheStorm (talk) 19:11, 1 March 2014 (UTC)]

- The 2009-2010 editors were sufficiently anxious to make their position known that almost everything in the "Adverse Effects" article was pasted word for word into the Quinolones, Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin articles, so I'm reasonably confident that the process of hacking out the poorly referenced stuff will be a repeat of what I've done in editing the aforementioned articles.

The sourcing is not independent/reliable; the relevant references are both touched-up reposts of Wicked Pictures promo material -- and the original press release describes here as their first "full-fledged" Latina contract player, a rather curious bit of phrasing indicating there were previous Latina contract girls at the company, just not of 100% Latin heritage. Note that as of right now, IAFD lists her as born in Burbank, ethnicity Caucasian, nationality/heritage American.

The article itself states why this word isn't notable: "“Anthropecology”, a new term introduced in the world of Environmental Science". There are sources in the article, yes, but they are only journals that use the word, not coverage about the word itself.
- Delete My !vote is based on reading the article. The claim is made that this is a new branch of science, but the statement has no inline citation that allows me to WP:V that this is not WP:OR.

- Delete. I tagged this article with WP:PROD. It was declined, and i was in the process of nominating this for AfD when Me5000did so as I was typing my nomination. This seems to me to be a run-of-the-highway mall, if larger than many. None of the currently cited sources seem to me to help establish notability. They are:
- A story about a single store, apparently in the mall, that never mentions the mall by name and dose not discuss the mall as a while (*http://www.columbiatribune.com/business/street-talk/article_cc2e9c03-3ea5-56ee-9dbe-9f7676958146.html);
- A rehash of a press release that merely announces that a particular store plans to open at the mall, and does not discuss the mall at all. Not independent, and no in-depth coverage. Does nothing towards notability (http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/story.aspx?id=968774#.UxH2r4UrhLl); and
- An ad from the company that owns the mall (or perhaps just manages it) that touts the various attractions nearby in an effort to attract stores to locate at the mall. Also does nothign for notability, and probbably shouldn't even be included. (http://www.ggp.com/properties/mall-properties/columbia-mall)
- A Google search I made found nothing better. Lots of store reviews, mostly at sites with user-generated content. Lots of directory entries. A few passing mentions. Nothing of significance, no in depth coverage, little that was even from a WP:GNG. Clearly this mall exists, and the article is apparently factual. But unless malls, like high-schools and villages, are to be considered de facto inherently notable, or unless someone finds and cites a better source than i found, this should be deleted.

- About #3, it is a primary source reliable for statements about itself. About #2, I see your point that much of this has been sourced by a news release, but if a WP:RS is sourcing a story from a news release, we depend on the WP:RS to do their fact checking. The term "Columbia Mall" appears in the headline as an object of familiarity that needs no explanation. The publisher is the CBS-TV affiliate in the area.

- Your argument is essentially WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. The three sources you added do not establish notability, one is just a store locator from the Barnes and Noble website and the other two are just some directory listing. Me5000 (talk) 14:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)]

- A mall with 140 stores, five anchor stores and its own PO is the definition of a large mall. Per the WP:V purposes. VMS Mosaic (talk) 01:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)]
- I think you're really reaching now. A little research shows that this is definitely a small mall. Here is a list of 20 malls in the United States much larger with the smallest one on the list being 1.8 million square feet. Here's one in Canada that is 5.5 million square feet. Here(click helpful info tab) and here are some smaller malls that are still 1.3 million and 1.2 million respectively. Me5000 (talk) 03:20, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Seriously? We aren't talking about extremely large or mega malls. The List of largest shopping malls in the world lists only ~60 very large and mega malls (some of which are less than twice the size of this one). A "very small" mall would be in the class "Neighborhood center". A "Regional center" (this one is at the upper side of that class) is two sizes larger. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:05, 6 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Notice how everything smaller than "Regional Mall" isn't referred to as a mall anywhere in the document? Heck, in the concept section of Community Center(the category below regional mall) it even says "The center is usually configured in a straight line as a strip, or may be laid out in an L or U shape, depending on the site and design." i.e. strip malls. Malls start at 400,000 square feet, this mall is only 340,000 square feet bigger than that compared to the list you linked to (which actually proves my point even more because it is even longer than what I found) and the smallest mall I linked to is still 460,000 square feet bigger. Face it, in the realm of malls this is a small mall. Is it the absolute smallest mall? Obviously not, but it is certainly still a small mall. Really, I'm not trying to insult you here or anything, but you are really grasping at straws. Me5000 (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Then I guess the Wikipedia Shopping mall article needs a major rewrite since it refers to all of the sizes as malls. If you believe that this mall qualifies as a very small mall, then I'm afraid we will simply agree to disagree. 06:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- What information the WP:NPLACE, also cleary distinguishes between strip malls and malls,"Larger malls are generally considered notable. Very small malls, strip malls, and individual shops are generally deleted unless significant sourcing can be found." Very funny the way you suddenly changed to strong keep when nothing significant on the mall article has changed since you changed it to keep. Frankly, that's pretty childish and passive-aggressive. Me5000 (talk) 07:22, 6 March 2014 (UTC)]

- Nope, the problem is notability. Adding an infobox isn't anything that would warrant a change from keep to strong keep, it is pretty obvious that you are getting annoyed with me because I won't agree with you. You changed from keep to strong keep in the same edit you were replying to me and the reply was a little ]
- I don't need you to agree with me. I simply find it absurd that someone who appears to be intelligent is even capable of calling this a "very small" mall. I changed it to strong after having gone thru a lot of info on mall size and by reviewing a number of other mall AfDs during this discussion. It is now clear to me that deleting this would be to completely ignore long standing consensus, and that discussing the meaning of "very small" should not be done on every mall AfD per WP:CIVIL by making personal attacks. Continuing to personally attack me is not helping your arguments. VMS Mosaic (talk) 23:58, 6 March 2014 (UTC)]

<Article has a picture of the Columbia Mall sign.>
{{cite web}}
: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link) - Keep In Google searches this mall is buried in links about the notoriety of the Columbia Mall in Maryland, so it helps to add a "-maryland" to a Google search. Another useful search was ["Columbia Mall TDD" OR "Columbia Mall Transportation Development District"]. I also found some leads on Google Images using ["Columbia Mall" Missouri -maryland]. Sources show that this topic with its 140 stores has the status of a regional landmark.
You can see in the KOMU-TV headline above that the headline writer refers to the mall with just the word "Columbia".Topic passes WP:GNG, and it has attracted the attention of the world at large over a period of time. In addition, Wikipedia has a need to cover such a topic as a part of the gazetteer. I'm not seeing any problems with WP:V and WP:RS, so any such problems need to be tagged for resolution. Unscintillating (talk) 08:11, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- How do any of these sources establish notability? None of them go into detail about the mall.The first and second sources are about traffic around the mall, not the mall itself and the third source is just a brief article about an H&M coming to the mall, nothing about the mall itself. How are these sources ]
- Nicely played. However, closer analysis shows a couple of holes in your preparation, which I will get to. Where did I say that those three sources "establish" notability? Although, I suppose you could make the argument that those three alone satisfy WP:GNG. The one that you say has "nothing about the mall itself", is a report with half of the report consisting of a picture of a mall sign that says "Columbia Mall", where the sign is using a font measured in feet rather than points. One of those articles is tremendously in-depth, even drilling down and reporting sales tax revenues for the mall. With that info and along with the tax rate, you can calculate WP:RS gross sales via WP:CALC. So in your viewpoint, a WP:RS talking about traffic on Worley on Saturday's over a period of years during the Christmas shopping season is not reporting about the mall? There is just a non-notable black hole causing the traffic? So the parking lot is not the mall, and the parked cars are not the mall, and I guess the architects who built the mall, that is not the mall, and the paint on the walls and the shoppers and the employees and the owners, that is not the mall? What can reliable sources say about the mall that is the mall? Your next comment is one of the two preparation holes, because I already gave you an example of something I found via Google images. Your report was "I found absolutely nothing". When I report that the topic is a "regional landmark", and I don't say "IMO", I am indicating that although it is my opinion, I also consider it to be fact. In the first search you reported at the start of this AfD, you didn't report that the search for sources was confounded with a similarly named mall in Maryland. This is something you could have expected other researchers to encounter. You also did not note that there is a book called Columbia about the Columbia Mall. Since the Google snippet on the book Columbia doesn't quickly report what state the mall is in, you could have helped out other researchers by mentioning that this book was about the mall in Maryland. Is there a good explanation for not mentioning the other mall? So your preparation is in question here. If you haven't been able to duplicate my analysis that this is a regional landmark, you need to show that you have studied this topic enough and reviewed enough sources to recognize that there is a point to my statement. In your next sentence I see that you are not familiar with the nutshell of WP:N, which I recommend. You can say on this talk page that the nutshell is doubtful, but doing so doesn't change the nutshell. As per the nutshell, your claim, when you say that this topic is not notable, is that this mall has not attracted the attention of the world at large. Your argument, that something like only the 20 largest malls in the world should have articles, this is not a notability issue but a WP:NOT issue for WT:NOT. Until you get that changed, this will not be a policy-based argument unless you cite WP:IAR. The second preparation hole is that of not spotting an error of mine, which is that the headline writer of "H&M Coming to Columbia Fall of 2014", probably by "Columbia" meant the city and not the mall. I have redacted the statement. As for the idea that headlines and headline writers don't or can't give attention to topics, this is an oxymoron. Unscintillating (talk) 04:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- You never specifically said "those 3 sources establish notability", but since the concern is notability why else would you post them? Half the report is a picture because the "report" is 5 sentences long. The picture is trivial and does not equate to significant coverage. The first two articles are about things relating to the mall and its surrounding area(taxes and traffic), does this make the mall notable? How about an article about the history of the mall? The wikipedia page's history is simply when it opened and that a single new store is coming to the mall. Surely this extremely notable mall has some more information about the history than that. Just for comparison I did a search for Walmart in the same area. I quickly and easily found 5 articles about it in the first two pages: [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. This brings up two points, one how is this mall that has been around since 1985 so sparce on sources if it is so notable when a new Walmart that has only been open for 2 months already has 5 articles? Correct me if I'm wrong, but individual Walmart stores are not notable and do not get their own article on wikipedia, yet by your logic this Walmart passes GNG and should get its own article. I didn't realize the H&M report was from a Google images search as you didn't say that. I thought you found it with a regular web search and were talking about something else you found on google images. Still, you say you found "some leads" on Google images, indicating more than one. My search on Google images, yes shows a few pictures of the mall, but other than the one you linked, nothing reliable or independent (Apartmentfinder, flickr, etc.). I did not mention the other mall because it did not show up on my search, I simply searched columbia mall missouri without quotations and it appears you put columbia mall in quotations for your search. Without quotations the maryland mall only comes up once. The regional landmark thing sounds like original research, you are going to have to explain to me why you think this in detail and why this isn't original research, because the sources do not give any indication of it being a regional landmark. Okay, I completely misunderstood what you were talking about when you said the world at large comment, but the sources do not meet this criteria as I explained in this reply. I never said only the 20 largest malls should have articles. I knew they weren't referring to the mall when they said columbia, that's why I didn't know why you thought it was significant, I just didn't express it very well. As for the last bit, again it is because I knew they meant the city and didn't understand why you thought this wording was significant. Me5000 (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Five references for the Walmart means that the Walmart topic likely passes WP:GNG. This does not mean that the Walmart topic passes either WP:N or WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Your sources show that the store size is 3700 square feet, and that there are three other Walmarts in Columbia. WP:GNG states, "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..." But looking further shows, " 'Presumed' means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article..." There is also the issue that the topic has not been shown to attract attention over a period of time.
- As per World Wide Web, the first formal proposal for such is dated 1990. Since this mall was opened in 1985, I suggest that you look for archives of Columbia newspapers online; and if those are not available, either work with your local library to locate physical archives, or plan to visit a library in Columbia. You can also look at the reference I added today, that shows that the mall opening was still generating news 22 years later. Unscintillating (talk) 23:36, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

The article is brand new and needs editing (it was written with a review-like / judgmental tone) but the subject is notable. There is no requirement in wp:museums or anywhere that a museum must be accredited. Museums are public institutions that are almost always notable by their nature.

Author removed PROD, my original concern was "All sources given, while at first glance appear to be notable, are actually blog links." While I'm hesitant to nominate this for deletion given the links in the article, except for the two The New Noise links (reliablity unknown) and the Ondarock and Necroweb links (which look promising, although I don't know if either is considered a reliable source, but they are occasionally used as sources), the other sources are self-published blogs. If someone finds anything else reliable, ping me and I'll withdraw this AfD.

- Comment I'm a fan of Aseptic Void and an ambient music listener. All the reviews (Ondarock, Necroweb, Headcleaner, The New Noise, the interview on cryochamberlabel.com and the others) are written by PROFESSIONAL reviewers. so, there are professional reviews. Billboard is mainly pop music! It makes absolutely no sense to speak of Billboard in this case! You're not a musician, not an ambient music listener, how can you be reliable? you can't address a topic that you don't know well. You demonstrates lack of knowledge. I'm really sorry that there is this kind of behavior on Wikipedia.

- Keep. "Emphatically strong", even. This article is not a WP:POVFORK from Jewish Bolshevism, since that article, by consensus, concerns itself exclusively with the Nazi conspiracy theory [48]. In fact, the information presented here was removed from that article on precisely those grounds, as promoted by TFD. Creating a new article was a suggested course of action on the talkpage. Now, TFD wishes to delete this article - because his apparent goal is simply to suppress this data from Wikipedia, no matter how convoluted the reasoning. He means to do it through distastefully implying some kind of anti-semitic bias. Constant accusations, implied or otherwise, regarding anti-semitism, Nazism, and the like - are a discernible pattern at this point with the user. PRODUCER is the fourth respectable Wikipedian I've seen against whom TFD has used such means to have his way on articles. If I were accused here of supporting an antisemitic Nazi conspiracy theory, TFD would already be explaining his reasoning on the relevant admin noticeboard.

- Comment, this is a valid article subject, and there is a scope to build a good quality article around it. However, the present article presents the subject in a the most sensationalistic way possible. There is also no real lead nor context presented. --Soman (talk) 05:45, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

The problem is that if an article presents a POV and uses questionable sources or is a collection of cut and pastes from other articles, then it cannot be rescued. The best approach is to delete.

- Keep. Communism (not speaking Soviet Bolshevism) had a strong appeal to the Eastern European intellectual tradition including Jewish. Quite a few were jailed in Poland, where that intellectual community gained strength under duress. Of course, there were other groups to which communism appealed as well. It should be possible to discuss this topic in a scholarly manner outside "Jewish Bolshevism" and its primary role as an anti-Semitic meme. That makes this topic completely separate. That said, it should be more than a compendium of (non-practicing) Jews who played a historical role in communism. It would be helpful also to compare and contrast with other ethnically/culturally identifiable groups which also played a similar role. VєсrumЬа ►TALK 03:58, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

- On a related note, by the way, since the Polish communist administration is one of the subjects of this article. I asked one of my friends at the University of Łódź for his opinion: he said that this topic was mentioned by a history professor on a lecture as well, telling many of these names and that it is well-known in Poland but there is nothing too controversial about it. His criticism for this article was that it starts like a leaflet. I agree, the lede is not very good at the moment and words like "dominated" sound a bit sensational. But as said, that should be improved - not a reason to delete the article. --Pudeo' 05:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- The Polish Communist administration, which had few if any Jewish members, is not mentioned in this article. The vast majority of Polish Jews were murdered during the Holocaust and the vast majority of the survivors emigrated. The article mentions the Polish Communist Party, which was a tiny organization in the interwar period (it got 0.4% of the vote in 1930), but fails to mention that its membership was purged and the party disbanded before the establishment of Communist rule in Poland under the "Polish United Workers' Party", which had no signficant Jewish membership. There is however a perception among some that the Jews were behind the regime, which is properly covered in articles about anti-Semitism. But where is the source that tells us why most of the few hundred members of this party were Jewish while few if any of the millions of members of the Communist Party of China were? Without sources, it requires original research to provide the comparison. TFD (talk) 07:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, it seems it only concerns the pre-war movement, but it could be expanded as what you say is not true. A number of Jews returned to Poland after World War II – and for example Stalin's right-hand in Poland until Stalin started to express anti-Semitic attitudes. A notable historical development that easily fits the scope of this article, so there is room for expansion. --Pudeo' 08:21, 3 March 2014 (UTC)]

- Can you provide any source that compares the number of Jewish Communists in Poland and China? Such a source is necessary in order for us to connect the two by putting both into one article. Otherwise all the information about Communism and Jews in Poland can remain in the articles about Polish Jews and Polish Communism. And since most Polish Communists were from Catholic backgrounds, why is it only notable that some of them were Jewish? TFD (talk) 11:31, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- This is only the first draft of the article. I will say it again: simply because you don't like the style and content of the article as it stands now - does not mean it should be deleted. It means it should be edited, and fixed. That's not a valid, policy-derived reason for deletion. If we all agree that the topic and scope of the article are noteworthy, the discussion ends there. A lazy attitude by which the (reliably-sourced) data in this article is to be deleted, rather than worked on, is imo unbecoming a serious Wikipedian.

- Comment. Although I'm sceptical about the value of "X and Y" or "The relationship between X and Y"-type articles, which you can invent about more or less any combination, as noted, there is an arguably valid topic here, which has been the topic of genuine dispassionate academic inquiry – and one which is distinct from the Jewish Bolshevism topic, which is specifically about the conspiracy theory and therefore it need not be a fork. However, as also noted, this page is currently written as if intended to "prove" that conspiracy theory and hence is not only a fork in practice but is a grossly offensive one. It simply lists a whole load of cherry-picked statistics, assertions and quotes which zero in on showing how many Jews were communists and vice versa. Even in the lead, for example, it used phrases such as "counter to the denial of American Jewish publicists". I guess it could be rewritten but there are really serious issues here.

- Keep info/merge to Jewish Bolshevism and Jewish left as appropriate: [Added later after more comments read, I do think it's censorship to remove from Wikipedia any valid (and not WP:Undue) analysis of any group if there are sufficient WP:RS about the topic, and especially if there is a lot of public interest in that groups behavior in whatever area that needs to be approached in an intelligent manner. There are such articles in Wikipedia. Unfortunately, articles about the behavior of some groups of Jews only has been allowed if it is couched in terms of "antisemitic canards". More skilled editors aren't going to rewrite this article because they know that some editors will start inferring they are antisemites and start messing with them. So editors who may be more biased may create and edit articles in a less than encyclopedic fashion.
- For example the AfD'd Allegations of Jewish control of the media (a middle range title between canard and "Jews and") was moving towards being a good article that used good sources to talk about "over-representation" of Jews (including material from the ADL!!) but making the point that over-representation doesn't necessarily mean control. However, once some editors finally realized the article's originator had not been trying to slam those who had alleged control, but may have supported that view, there was a 190 degree turn against it and former supporters wanted it AfD'd! That is just irrationally absurd! Some editors evidently fear that any such information on Wikipedia will lead to automatic worldwide pogroms, or something. Yet the censorship is far more likely to lead to negative attitudes than balanced information.
- Since both Jewish Bolshevism and Jewish left do survive, the first being a "canard" article and the second a largely unsourced puff piece, I think it would be appropriate to add factoids from the better sources on the topic to both of them, as appropriate. If an editor with the guts and integrity to do it can be found. (Don't look at me; I've tried to do my part and taken enough lumps.)
- I'll leave my original comments in parenethesis because they were a reaction to the "censorship" issue. (The article probably needs tweaking for more viewpoints and sources (like those provided above) and some more politically correct language. Facts are the best way to confound bloated conspiracy theories. Removing it just reinforces idea Wikipedia is censored. Jews and the slave trade is probably a more controversial historical topic and that has never even been AfD'd. Jewish left is another one you might as well AfD if you are going after this one. And then there are those dozens of articles about historical facts about members of other religions we can start AfDing. When does it stop?) Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 16:37, 4 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep: It seems to be well-sourced and meaningful. Saying it's anti-semetic seems misplaced. I suppose it depends on how you feel about communism.

The criticisms smack of false accusations of anti-semetism, serving as a thin varnish on )

- First, looking at the article more closely after my first "no censorship" opinion, I saw a lot/too much work would be necessary to correct the negative POV/title and it was best to transfer what was of interest to the other two relevant articles (Jewish left and Jewish Bolshevism, as relevant). But it also brings up the "Who is a Jew" issue again.

- The article Jews and slavery is mostly about the antisemitic theory that Jews had dominated the slave trade industry for centuries, a theory which the article shows has been debunked. The fact that it exists does not justify creating a new article about a certain ethnic group's involvement in any particular field they may have had a major involvement in, even if some sources discuss it.

- Comment, perhaps a way forward could be to work on a new draft for an article on this title. The present article is highly problematic, and the "x, y, z were Jews" arguments, if not directly antisemitic, abets an antisemitic narrative. The interesting aspect is not to list who was and wasn't Jewish in the communist movement, rather it would be of interest having an article dealing with the issue of 'why?'. It would be commentary on the situation of Jews in 19th Europe, the appeal of secular movement to a minority, the appeal of revolutionary opposition against Czarism, etc., and how this fascination gradually waned (not the least as Zionism and Communism became increasingly incompatible in the Cold War era). There are two other aspects, which would require some attention; 1) seemingly 'Jewish sections' were set up in several communist parties during the Comintern years (such as Yevsektsia, Central Jewish Bureau, Communist Party of Poland, etc., but have also found mentions of such sections in Austria, Argentina, etc.). Was this a consistent policy with Comintern backing? I haven't found anything to back that up, but it would be typical that these sections would have been part of a larger policy of the international. 2) The appeal of communism towards Jewish intellectuals and workers in the first half of the 20th century was not an exclusively Western phenomenon. In the early phases of the communist movement, Jews were disproportionately represented in the leaderships of communist parties in the Arab world, Latin America, South Africa, etc.. In fact only in Eastern, South-Eastern and Southern Asia was this a non-issue. --Soman (talk) 07:55, 5 March 2014 (UTC)]

- Merge and Redirect to WP:NOTSOAPBOX in the process with unwanted tones of a favorite slander thrown at "Jews" when, note, the truth about Jews (look up the term) is that they are an ethnicity but overlooks the fact that when connected to Judaism it opposes secular atheist ideologies which is what Communism is. Thus those Jews who were part of it were more accurately RENEGADE Jews, which this title does nothing to make clear. No normal person would post about Germans and Nazism since objectively no fair person would want to slander the German people as a whole to associate all of them with the implication of being Nazis, unlike this article which implicates all Jews willy-nilly, by not having any qualifiers of any kind at any point! Likewise no normal person would write up an article of Italians and Fascism or Italians and the Mafia because that would obviously DEFAME all Italians by association implying that Italians have a predilection for Fascism or the Mafia. While many Jews were part of Communism's early history and founding, it should be part of the history of communism and not mis-represented as being a "by-product" of Jews (always worrisome when articles like this pop up), no more or less than no normal person would write a blanket article implying that Germans are somehow or other the only prime motivators for the rise of Nazism, or implicating Italians as having some kind of monopoly over the causes promoting the rise of Fascism or the birth of the Mafia.

- It's probably true that the conspiracy theory has made the historical review of Jewish involvement in communist movements more notable: pretty much how like Holocaust denialism has intensified scholarly writing of those who refute the denialist claims. Jewish studies and history is an academic subject. The historical situation in 19th and early 20th Century Europe was interesting as there were Jews who wanted completely assimilate to European nations and then international communism sort of represented the opposite (many Jews felt outcasted by European nationalisms), as Soman above points this situation for example is explanatory. But what makes it antisemitic? Can you point out a single non-factual statement? I just can't understand why a, b, and c being communists can be an offense.

- It's probably true that the conspiracy theory has made the historical review of Jewish involvement in communist movements more notable: pretty much how like Holocaust denialism has intensified scholarly writing of those who refute the denialist claims. Jewish studies and history is an academic subject. The historical situation in 19th and early 20th Century Europe was interesting as there were Jews who wanted completely assimilate to European nations and then international communism sort of represented the opposite (many Jews felt outcasted by European nationalisms), as Soman above points this situation for example is explanatory. But what makes it antisemitic? Can you point out a single non-factual statement? I just can't understand why a, b, and c being communists can be an offense. Even my own relatives include people who were communists and party members. Lastly, there are plenty of articles that deal with Jews in different walks of life: Category:Lists of Jews. --Pudeo' 23:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep There seems to be the peculiar feeling that to says that the Jews were active in a particular movement is derogatory to the Jews, or inherently anti-Semetic. It's true that this can be discussed from various prejudicial angles, and I am not sure the presentation here is as objective as it ought to be--the concentration on numerical statistics rather than explanations is capable of misinterpretation. (I would present the data as showing the successive elimination of minorities from Society political life, and I would interpret the data as an indication of the perceived value that many Jews in the period thought Communism would have for them, and discuss it in terms of the reasons for them to have adopted this position--It is after all only rational that any oppressed people would have looked for help from the best organized of those opposing the current regime.) To regard the inherent nature of Communism so evil that it is a smear of Jews that they adopted it, is as bigoted as the nazi propaganda that the inherent nature of Judaism was so evil that the association of Jews with the Communist party proved the Communist party to be evil. The role of various ethic groups in the various phases of Communism, both before and after 1918, is a topic for serious research and discussion, and to regard any discussion of the subject as inherently prejudicial to the Jews is absurd and overprotective, any more than to regard discussion of the WWTwo alliance of Finland with Nazi Germany as a proof of anti-Finnish prejudice.

He discusses how Jews were prominent in many other ideological movements of the time period, how the majority of the Jewish population did not support Communism and some of the rationale for Jewish support of Bolshevism after the Revolution.[59] To cherrypick one specific fact from a secondary source and then ignore the author's analysis of the facts is just plain POV editing.

- Comment on Bias What I see as the most significant bias here, is the much greater coverage of the large number of Jews in the 20s and early 30s, as compared to the space devoted to the rapid decrease thereafter. Not just in the USSR where they were actively removed, but in the US the many who left because of the Nazi-Soviet pact. Among the key points not mentioned, is that within the Communist Party is Russia, the Jews were especially prominent in the factions opposed to Stalin, the Left (Trotsky) and Right (Kamenev and Zinoviev) Oppositions. One that is mentioned but not adequately discussed, is the large proportion of Jewish communists in the USSR who were part-Jewish but classified as Jews, and that essentially all the Jews in the party were Jews only by descent, not positive affiliation. (The Jewish left that were in any cultural sense Jewish were likely to be Bundists, and the Bund was very early on eliminated from Soviet political life.) The high number of Jews in the NKVD is attributed here to their desire for power--I would suggest it more likely to be desire for self-preservation, at least until it was realised that membership in that group was not actually protective. There is also the repeated word "disproportionate". Disproportionate to what? To the overall population, to the educated intelligentsia, to the overall body of politically active Russians and Poles in 1918?

You guys have a few misconceptions. When editors said this article should be deleted because it is a POV fork/antisemitic/not encyclopedic, the few defenders of this article consistently replied back accusing such editors of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, WP:NOTCENSORED, WP:UNENCYC, WP:BELONG, WP:RUBBISH and so on. What it ultimately does is it falsely labels their legitimate reasons for the deleting this article as though they are simply based on a conflict of interest. Your argument that Jews played a major role in Communism and that it's backed by reliable sources and books is true, but I and other editors (see IZAK's comments too) have proved that no article titled Jews and Communism has a place on Wikipedia according to its own policies. Since you (those supportive of this article) have ignored the latest points I raised above and since three different users (USchick, Antidiskriminator, and Marokwitz) explicitly said they agree with me, let me bring it again: There are many books about the disproportionate representation of Jews in many fields, but articles titled Jews and ___ do not exist, and for a reason.

- Comment, albeit I have expressed concerns about the article in questions, I find that several of the 'delete' comments in this AfD borders historical revisionism. The existence of a Jewish communist movement (within the wider communist movement) is not fiction, but a historical fact. I suggest a reading of scholarly literature on the subject;
- First of all, Jerusalem on the Amur: Birobidzhan and the Canadian Jewish Communist..., "Jewish Communism was a combination of socialism and secular Jewish nationalism, though the latter was often only a subterrean form of discourse. They complemented one another: proletarian Jewish culture (especially in Yiddish) for Jewish Communists constituted the most authentic expression of Jewish being, of a secular Yidishkayt. [...] Rejecting religious and traditional Judaism, the Jewish Communists believed they could advance their cultural self-identity with a Marxist-Leninist framework, [...] Even while being part of a larger Communist "family", the extensive network of groups fashioned by the Jewish Communists enabled them to create a focus for Jewish socialist integration that was independent of the Communist Party. [...] The Jewish Communists emerged from the same historic and economic conditions as did the other Jewish socialist movements of the time. They all were products of the Jewish enlightenment, or haskala, the growth of Yiddish as a language of culture and literature, the proletarization and impoverishment of the Jews in the Russian Pale of Settlement before 1917, and the organization of Jews into trade unions and other resistance organizations as response to pogroms and persecution." (pp. 7-8). this, in short, would have been a perfect intro for an article on Jewish communist movements. Page 10 is also very interesting.
- British Jewry, Zionism, and the Jewish State, 1936-1956, pp. 91-92 (albeit the author ignores the existence of Jewish CP sections in Latin America, Austria, etc.)
- Dark Times, Dire Decisions : Jews and Communism, has already been mentioned a few times, the introductory chapter makes a good reading.
My suggestion for a way forward would be that 1) DIREKTOR & PRODUCER could take a step back, as those comments seem mainly to fan the fire and that 2) a group of the other commentators on this page get together and work on a draft that would be less conspiratorial in its tone, less of a "Who's Who" of Jews in communist parties and more focused on Jewish communism as a movement with distinct characteristics and its role in contemporary history. The article title could be worked out in a consensus process and possibly different from the current 'Jews and Communism'. Any takers? --Soman (talk) 01:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Soman, you raise an interesting question about a possible topic, but that's not what the present article is about. The present article is not about a Jewish-communist movement (I deliberately use a small c, because I think it's more neutral in this context). The influence of socialist, or even Marxist socialist ideology, or even the ideology of those who had been once members of the Communist Party before that party became overtly anti-semitic, on the early period of the Jewish state is a real topic, but it's not topic of this article. The role & motivations of the Israeli Communist Party is also a real topic, but it's not the topic here. Birobidzhan a is an interesting topic, and the motivations for its founding and its relation to Zionism is an interesting topic, but also unrelated to the contents of this article. This article is about the role of Jews in the mainstream Communist Party in the Soviet Union and the other national Communist Parties under its influence. That is also a real topic--the question here is whether this article is salvageable on that topic. (There are indeed some people in the discussion above who do not see it as a real topic, and , quite frankly, I agree that it's a try at avoiding the realities of history.

- Dark Times, Dire Decisions, p. 8, says, "The truth is that, as of today, there is still no study examining the overall history of Communism and the Jews." British Jewry, Zionism, and the Jewish State, 1936-1956 is about British Jews, Zionism and Israel between 1936 and 1956. Jerusalem on the Amur: Birobidzhan and the Canadian Jewish Communist is about Jews between 1921 and 1956 who supported both the Russian Revolution and the creation of the state of Israel.
- We have lots of sources that examine the connection between Jews and Communism at various times and in different countries. What we lack is a comprehensive study that ties it all together. Is there something about Judaism that draws them to Communism? Is Communism inherently anti-Jewish, or did Communist governments become anti-Semitic as the reality of governing actual nations forced them to abandon internationalism? Interesting questions, but without sources that address them, writing the article will be challenging.
- Even if sources did exist, WP:TNTapplies. If we begin with an article that attempts to show the Jews were behind Communism, repairing the article will be challenging if not impossible. It would be better to delete and if someone wants to pull together the sources and create a neutral article, good for them. But do not assume that editors will jump into this article and bring it to good article status.

Contested PROD. Fails

- Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:47, 1 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete - removal of the PROD was borderline POINTy; article clearly fails ]

- Delete - per nom, the suggestion that he will play soon inferred by the removal of the PROD is without any merit, there are no reliable sources to suggest, let alone confirm this. As such the player does not pass WP:NFOOTY let alone GNG. Fenix down (talk) 17:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete - Subject does not meet WP:NFOOTY at this time. ///EuroCarGT 01:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep - passes GNG. Isn't there a requirement for participants in a deletion-discussion to actually search for sources before claiming a topic fails GNG? This article from the regional newspaper, talk) 17:11, 2 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete - article object appears to fail WP:NFOOTY. User:Mentoz86's suggestion of GNG are general transfere speculations. Wikipedia is no crystal ball: It is no guarantee the player will ever play a match even if he transferes. Grrahnbahr (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)]

- The article in Bergens Tidene clearly states that it is not sure he will start any matches this year, because of not being regarded as the best player for the team at that position. The articles are beyong doubt about the player, but does not suggest any extraordinary events or preformances for coverage, just a young talent who may will get his start in a professional league this season. If he get some strange damage, making him unable to continue his career tomorrow, I would not at all support keeping an own wikipedia article about the person, based on the relevance criterias. That is where we are today with this player. The crystal ball argument still applies, even if he does not transfere. Grrahnbahr (talk) 21:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
