- Delete I don't think she has to win a race to be included, but the coverage of her would have to be much more substantial, and do more than recite her campaign platform. So, all we can write at this point, would be a campaign brochure. --Rob (talk) 03:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, I certainly didn't say that a person can never qualify for an article without winning an election first — it's not an easy thing to do, but it can happen. Just look at John Turmel. But a person doesn't get an automatic presumption of notability, or an automatic entitlement to keep an article on the basis of one or two sources confirming their existence, until they win election to a notable office — if that hasn't happened, then you're exactly right that the article has to cite a much more substantial array of sources and make a much more substantive claim of notability than the mere fact of being a candidate.

My redirect was reverted without, in my opinion, a valid reason, so I'm taking it here. This is a training branch of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, and their article is already fraught with POV and directory-type information. This "school" of theirs seems to have no independent notability, and the article is basically a brochure, with goals and requirements and not, as one would expect in an encyclopedia, a well-balanced and well-verified overview and history of the place. The subject broadly speaking cannot complain of its coverage in Wikipedia (see, for instance, Governing Body Commission), and one wonders whether we are not being used for publicity purposes--but that's by the by. This organization, I submit, does not have independent notability. Drmies (talk) 23:27, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

I see no evidence that this article satisfied
- A glowing puff piece from MTV, in the form of "10 things you didn't know about Smiley"
- A press release
- A directory entry
The article makes claims that, were they borne out by reliable sources, might indicate notability. However, before those claims can even be considered, they do need to be substantiated by "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", something that plainly has yet to occur. - Biruitorul Talk 02:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep WP:N is a bit of a stretch to prove, but the above !votes are wrong--remember we delete things based on sources existing, not being in the article. A web search shows sources, including 11 pieces in The General (which is not independent, but is a very strong indication this saw coverage in 3rd party magazines from the time).

- Yeah, I said it's a stretch to prove. Rather there are 11 articles on the subject. Most, if not all, clearly meet all the parts of WP:N other than independence. But I think it provides a great likelihood that there are independent sources our there (not to mention while the publisher isn't independent, the authors in many cases are). But arguments like not meeting WP:V are clearly wrong--or just referring to the current state of the article, which isn't generally all that relevant at AfD. Hobit (talk) 03:45, 30 May 2014 (UTC)]

- Delete. We don't have to prove existence, just notability. I honestly can't find anything out there that shows that this specific specter has been the focus of in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Of the sources on the article, two of them aren't actually about this specific ghost and were actually about some of the other ghosts mentioned in passing. The only one left is a book source that is completely unsearchable and I'm somewhat forced to also assume that the book doesn't mention this ghost either and is also about the other ghosts that were mentioned in the article. I couldn't really find anything in general about this specific male soldier. The most I could find are extremely generalized statements about ghosts in general that were seen in the park, but nothing that would count towards notability. (。◕‿◕。) 04:26, 27 May 2014 (UTC)]

Here is a page from the British Interplanetary Society (BIS) about a workshop hosted by BIS and Icarus Interstellar:
The Icarus Interstellar article definitely needs improvement. I have provided a number of sources which could be used to improve the article. These sources show that Icarus Interstellar is a notable organization for the following reasons:
- Icarus Interstellar has been the subject of significant international coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.
- The depth of coverage is substantial - several articles are solely about the work of the organization.
- The intended audience of the coverage ranges from space enthusiasts to experts.
- The sources cited are independent, reliable, and demonstrate both interest in Icarus Interstellar and notability of Icarus Interstellar as a reliable organization with expertise in its subject area.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a volunteer with Icarus Interstellar working primarily on the official website. If no one else updates the article with the sources I have provided, I will do so. Mgilster (talk) 22:05, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

- May 2014 articles on Project Persephone
- Project Hyperion What Would an Interstellar 'Worldship' Look Like?
- Project Bifrost Project Bifrost: Rockets of the Future?

Keep looks like someone saw this on deWiki and esWiki where the article is since 2007 and thought we should have it as well.

- Keep This could be part of an article on DJs, either in clubs or in radio broadcasting in the vinyl record era, but there seem to be enough refs to justify a standalone article. A DJ had to cue a vinyl record to avoid the usual results of pressing "play" on a turntable, which resulted in: a delay, then a crunch when the stylus set down on the record, then a variable one to two second delay until the music started. A turntable with a felt mat could allow the record to be played through the cueing amplifier on the control board to the DJs headphones (thus not going over the air) and when the sound started the record could be rotated back a bit so it was ready to play, with the turntable still spinning. A vocal announcement of the record could be made, with the phono pickup connected to the outgoing program amplifier, then at the desired instant releasing the record would cause it to start playing immediately. Some of the refs I easily found at Google book search are: [18] "Ultimate Beginner DJ Styles: The Turntable DJ" by Ben James, [19] "Audio Production Worktext: Concepts, Techniques, and Equipment" by David E. Reese et al, [20] "Radio in the Movies: A History and Filmography, 1926-2010" by Laurence Etling, [21] "DJ Skills: The essential guide to Mixing and Scratching" by Stephen Webber and [22] "The World of DJs and the Turntable Culture" by Todd Souvignier. There are lots more refs with significant coverage of this process. The article is anemic in refs, but refs exist which would allow the article to be improved. Edison (talk) 02:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

It's tough to verify the sources as many are in Arabic Persian, but couldn't find anything significant beyond this page and basic company related stuff in Google Books. As it's not totally unambiguously promotional and a couple of the sources seem to possibly not be primary I'm bringing to discussion. Mabalu (talk) 09:41, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- I apologise very sincerely for getting the language wrong as it has been pointed out that the sources are in Persian. That does not mean they are invalid sources, but the references in the article at present are: 1) Company's About Us page. 2) Company website. 3) Currently unavailable, server not found. 4) According to Google Translate these are search results, this reference is not about the company but is used to confirm the translation of the name. 5) Search results showing store locations in Europe - for OPTICIANS? 6) Company website. 7) Company website. Where are verifiable, independent sources for this company? Mabalu (talk) 19:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

- Legitimate Persian language sources would be absolutely acceptable, if an unrelated third party who can read Persian is able to verify them. However, they need to be published/written by people who are independent to the company, and not reprints of the company's own press releases or promotional material.

- Does h-index account for an author listed far down in the list of authors, and/or does it matter in this field? When I was going through Google Scholar there seemed to be many papers that he has co-authored but few where his name was listed in a citation. For the purposes of NACADEMICS I think being cited is much more important. But I'm not all too familiar with Google Scholar or h-index. Ivanvector (talk) 14:34, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- from the creators of this article : we have now added a description of his most important contributions with references (articles by others that refer to Leroy's fundamental works). On the link to the list with honorary doctorates of Gdansk University (see last reference in the article) you will also see that we find in the list Poland’s former President Lech Wałęsa, Germany’s former President Richard von Weizsäcker, French former President François Mitterrand, US former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel (User:Leroy-former-team) — Preceding undated comment added 05:14, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding the list. However, the claim that these papers are significant must be supported by an independent source. I don't have access to the sources given but it appears to me to be links to other scholarly articles which Dr. Leroy has been cited in. I'm not sure that this satisfies NACADEMIC but it does seem that the volume of cited works indicates notability. Reading further into the guideline we find that persons granted honorary degrees are considered notable, which I didn't think was the case but I won't oppose the guideline. Changing to keep.

- With regards to the h-index, I'll ping User:Randykitty. You are right that the current guidelines states that all and any honorary degrees may satisfy notability criteria. I'll inquire at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:34, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The only thing towards meeting WP:ACADEMIC is, in my eyes, the honorary doctorate. The Web of Science indicates that Leroy has over 100 publications, but together they have only been cited 837 times, which, like GS, gives an h-index of 14. Highest-cited papers 60, 35, 30. For a field like this, I don't think that is sufficient to meet WP:ACADEMIC#1, but as said, the honorary doctorate meets the letter of #1. I must admit that I find it surprising that someone with such a weak citation record already got an honorary doctorate over 20 years ago. Are we perhaps missing something here? I must say I have seen a person get an honorary doctorate because they were pals with an influential guy. Not saying that's the case here, but the mention "co-operation with scientists from the University of Gdańsk" does ring some warning bells, I think... --Randykitty (talk) 09:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep -- honorary doctorate from a substantial research university is enough. When the h-index numbers contradict the notability of the field, consider whether the h-index is the best measure for someone who did work in the 70s. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 19:56, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I know the limitations of h, Michael, but Leroy regularly published (according to WoS) until 2005, so I maintain that the number of citations for a field like this is strangely low for someone who got an honorary doctorate. --Randykitty (talk) 10:54, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The case for WP:PROF#C1 looks weak to nonexistent from the citation record, but the honorary doctorate and the foreign medal of the French Acoustical Society together add up to international recognition that has a high enough profile to pass #C2 for me. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:32, 2 June 2014 (UTC)]

The result was keep. While a pure majority here would lean that way, I have to add that the argument that BLP1E applies here was given low weight. BLP1E applies, according to the text of the policy, to low-profile individuals. The subject is a reality show participant.

That's a ludicrous idea, and people far more relevant than an eleventh-place Idol contestant are getting snubbed that way.
- On this article, I say Keep because he won a million dollars on TV and has earned notoriety from the show the same way the AmIdol national anthem singers have.

The result was no consensus. Numerically, I counted 18 Delete, 13 Keep, 1 Move. The raw count might have been just barely enough to justify a Delete outcome, but looking at the arguments to delete, I saw quite a few (nine, as I count them now) which were essentially, The topic is fine, but the article is badly written. This would work better if rewritten as prose, under a title such as Incest in Literature. Overall, I found those to be weak arguments for deletion. Some people pointed out that the previous AfD (seven years ago!) resulted in, essentially, Keep, but fix, and in all that time, nobody has fixed, so we should declare this a lost cause. Others countered that there are no deadlines.
For what it's worth, here's my collection of what I thought were the most significant sound bites. Many of these may be munged beyond recognition, but assembling this list helped me organize my thoughts, so I figured it's worth preserving (note: don't count the sound bites and expect them to match my tally above; they don't).

Incest in popular culture
What little referencing there is is not directly related to "in popular culture" and mostly fails RS anyway. This leaves us with a massive screed of synthesis and OR masquerading as an encyclopdia article. Fails V OR N and GNG

- Well I meant interesting in the sense it makes no mention of WP:CLUE.

- Delete, for the reasons given by Spartaz. The issue here is not that the topic itself is without merit; clearly it has some. The issue is that this list is completely out of control. Look at the first AfD and you'll see that it has been completely out of control for at least seven years, meaning that all the "keep but tidy up" votes from back then were absolutely pointless, and any similar votes this time around will be equally pointless. When this article was nominated for deletion in July 2007, it was 43 KB in size. How big is it now? 159 KB. If efforts to reform the list failed - and they did, otherwise we wouldn't be here - when it was literally a quarter of the size it is today, who in their right mind would think that anything can be done about it now? It's time to face the fact that there is no way to rescue this article. None. It needs to be burned to the ground and started again, using sources of the type listed above by Andrew. — Scott • talk 11:38, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

- The Beatles' influence on popular culture likewise consists of hundreds of snippets of information and has just 22 citations. Of course you wouldn't have the slightest chance of getting that article deleted, although the arguments you cite here are just as valid there. In reality there's no need to cite most of the assertions here, verifiability is easily accomplished simply by turning to the work cited (a review perhaps, or its own wiki article) and checking that what is asserted for it is matter of fact true. Just as there is a genuinely encyclopaedic article for the Beatles, so is there scope for a genuinely encyclopaedic article for Incest in Fiction. Since you're proposing a total re-write, why not just write it under that article name and allow this one to coexist? Coat of Many Colours (talk) 19:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)]

I am proposing a total re-write preceded by the complete removal of this article as it currently exists. In other words, that the current state of this article should not be tolerated any further. Thirdly, as to verifiability - as Allen3 points out in the discussion at Jimbo's talk, lists of this sort typically rely on editors making "I know it when I see it" determinations instead of providing sources, which is a recipe for disaster of the precise sort demonstrated by the parlous state of this article. — Scott • talk 19:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)]

I agree with many that this article at present is nothing but a laundry list of trivia, failing many of the policies and guidelines noted in the opening statement.

- Keep In the 2007 AFD I said "There is sufficient scholarly commentary on the subject of this article to allow the present content to be polished into a fine article. As is, it could use some polishing. "Incest in fiction" might be a better article name, and remove any or discussion of record albums. A taboo subject written about by classic Greek playwrights and Faulkner certainly is not trivial. Do not let unreasoned hatred of the words "in popular culture" remove a topic covered in college literature classes." The topic of incest in fiction is itself notable as shown by the secondary sources listed by Andrew above. "Delete it and rewrite it?" Nope, since it will inevitably have a listing of works featuring incest. Deletion is not part of the editing process.

There is nothing remotely encyclopaedic about a random contributor-complied list of supposed 'examples' of incest in popular culture.

- OK, hypothetically, what would it take to fix this article? Personally I would keep the see-also, the categories, the first sentence of the lead, and a few examples that are actually notable for their incest part of the plot. Thinking of Oedipus the King and Der Ring des Nibelungen again. That would leave me with an unreferenced stub. Then I would probably consult some of the books mentioned by Andrew above and write a more decent stub. I just fear if anyone did that, they would be reverted for removal of "encyclopedic" content. That's why it is valuable to determine right here that the vast majority of the existing content is not encyclopedic. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 14:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC)]
- Well, perhaps we could begin by starting up a lead paragraph that introduces the topic with a full explanation, nuking the entire dot point list for now, and starting up sections for prose paragraphs. If there are any entries that can be cited, they should be written in prose, explaining why that case is notable, rather than simply being listed. That said, I'd rather this page have most of its sections blanked and then worked on, rather than the entire page actually deleted; it would be helpful to be able to look back at the article revision history for things that may potentially be referenced upon doing a few Google searches, and you can't do that if the page is deleted. The majority of these entries are unverifiable, but they can be reintegrated into prose if sources are found, and if they can be shown to be notable examples worthy of actually mentioning. --benlisquareT•C•E 12:09, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep : Clearly there was no need of the Afd. So many sources on the page, and information. OccultZone (Talk) 18:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Delete the list, as there is not much value to a long unsourced list of popular (and serious) fiction that happens to have a certain plot element, it's not an encyclopedic way to present information. However, the subject itself is notable, and whether a new article is built out of snippets from this one or entirely from scratch, any deletion should be without prejudice to recreation as an encyclopedic non-list article. Examples are fine, but this is one of those things where a comprehensive list becomes impossible to maintain. - Wikidemon (talk) 20:32, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

- Delete Another mishmash conglomeration of every mention we can find of a topic in popular media. These articles aren't encyclopedic and they shouldn't be encouraged. If we can't present the material from an encyclopedic standpoint, summing up the collective knowledge into a cohesive, prose article, we shouldn't bother having an article on the topic. This article reads like a set of barebones, unpruned notes and keeping it around for years without any cleanup just reinforces the point that bad writing encourages more bad writing. Either trim it down 95% or trim it down 100%; I would prefer the latter but wouldn't object to the former.

The Wikipedia article currently cites a number of sources all connected to the same person/company, including a press release and a marketing piece for a panel discussion, which are also not independent reliable sources.

- Comment: I ran into issues when searching for sources for the television show. I searched only under "Nutri Ventures", so hits for the company did come up with the show mention. However they were the same as the ones for the show: mostly press releases and unusable sources. If the article for the television show is kept, I'd recommend redirecting there since that's literally the only thing this company is known for and seems to be its sole reason for existing.

I have put
- Keep, of course, as the topic is indisputably notable, and the current coverage goes well beyond a dictionary definition. The very first reference, a book published by the surely reliable University of California Press, devotes an entire chapter to the contrast between arena rock and punk rock. Misuse as an infobox genre is no reason whatsover to delete the article. As for the claim that "most" rock bands from the 1970s on played arenas and stadiums, that is simply incorrect. The large majority of working rock bands never played venues that large. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have made clear that most popular rock bands from the 1970s on played arenas and stadiums. I've edited it to make more sense. I just think that the info in this article could easily be incorporated into the Rock music article. That's just my two cents, though. Regardless, thanks for your view! Johnny338 (talk) 03:29, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- I've also made the whole genre thing more clear. Johnny338 (talk) 03:37, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Just a friendly hint: When you refactor your deletion rationale after another editor has responded in detail, it makes the debate more difficult to follow. Perhaps you might want to explain why you think that a topic which has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article? The Rock music article by necessity must be a broad overview article, and it is appropriate to have many sub articles. Of course, Arena rock is not a genre, but rather a characteristic type of performance venue for a broad musical style. That does not make it a less notable topic. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:47, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry about that! I'll try to avoid that in the future. Anyway, my reasoning is that Arena rock, as you said, describes the venue the artists perform in, and is not unified by any one style. As I said, most major rock bands (or major artists in any genre in general) have played in stadiums or arenas at one time or another. This article describes radio-friendly music that Arena rock artists make. However, hard rock, soft rock, pop rock and glam metal cover all of the artists that are listed under the Arena rock article. Plus, the article doesn't really make sense. You don't necessarily have to put out radio-friendly music in order to sell out arenas. Look at artists like Rage Against the Machine or Nine Inch Nails. It just doesn't seem like a necessary article on Wikipedia to me. The articles I mentioned above cover all the styles of arena rock bands, and it just doesn't make sense to have an article on something based mostly on performance venue. Why, then, don't we have an article titled "Underground rock" or "Club rock" to cover more obscure rock bands? Johnny338 (talk) 03:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Any shortcomings in an existing article about a notable topic should be resolved by normal editing to improve the article, as opposed to deletion of the article. If you have reliable sources that say those two bands are arena rock acts despite not issuing "radio-friendly" music, then please add that to the article. The editors at University of California Press thought that it made enough sense to publish a book whose first chapter was devoted to arena rock vs. punk rock. That makes it notable.

This page is a about a list of standards which is the product of Health Level Seven International. It was split from that article.
Practically all of the information in this article is self-referenced to the company's own website. This article fails
Actually, what ought to happen is that all or most of this content should be deleted, then the content at the organization article should be copypasted back here. Then all self-referenced organization content should be deleted too. This is the page which has article history, so it ought to be kept. Perhaps this article should be moved to the organization name so that the history can be kept... I am not sure. Blue Rasberry (talk) 11:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - this is an 'open standards' organization (like Wikipedia itself, or Linux), which creates standards using a collaborative process. Hence, the central/focal source of information is the organization itself. Wikipedia may discourage this as a source - it will take some time to locate other reliable sources. HL7 standards are used widely around the world, and each of them probably deservies its own page (some of these standards already have their own page). I did perform the split mentioned above, with the intent to improve both resulting pages. Tertius3 (talk) 12:04, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- notability", which is the standard for inclusion into Wikipedia, has to be established for an article to remain in Wikipedia. Could you please identify the best 2-3 sources which discuss Health Level 7 so that they can be reviewed here?

- Weak keep There are sufficient independent reliable sources to establish notability and provide for at least limited coverage of this topic. For example, see the PDF linked on this web page, and some of the references it cites. The current Wikipedia article is deficient in several ways, including over-reliance on primary sources, but that is not grounds for deletion. To quote the AfD admin instructions at WP:BEFORE: "C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted. 1. If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD."
- I do want to note that I found very few independent reliable sources with significant coverage, though my search was not exhaustive. Most of the above search suggestions are critically flawed, failing to distinguish search results that refer to the HL7 standards rather than the HL7 organization, and even the search for "HL7 standards" was apparently done without putting the phrase in quotes, so it also failed to distinguish results referring to the standards. Also, most references to "HL7 standards" or "Health Level 7 standards" I checked in scholar.google.com were trivial, just mentioning in one sentence that a project used the HL7 standards, rather than providing useful information about HL7 standards that could be used in the Wikipedia article or that I'd count toward notability.
- I also think a good case could be made for renaming this article as Health Level Seven redirect to Health Level Seven International, as "Health Level 7" (whether proper or not) seems to refer to the organization more commonly than their standards in published literature. "HL7" may refer to the standard more than the organization. However, these issues seem beyond the scope of this AfD discussion. Agyle (talk) 20:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)]

- Keep since my inline keep above has been criticised - please don't count it twice. The coverage in RS is not just present but extensive, not just significant but profound. GoldenRing (talk) 08:04, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- Trim and merge back to Health Level Seven International. The intricate detail can be purged as it is based mainly on primary sources and/or instructional in tone. --Animalparty-- (talk) 22:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - HL7 is one of the main standards in the healthcare programming industry, and appears often on, say, job application requirements lists. Someone Googling what the heck "HL7" means on a job application, task requirements list, etc would absolutely expect to find out that it is a set of very notable, widely referenced international standards. They wouldn't expect or want to know about the organization that produced it. It would be like linking Health_Level_Seven_International), or any other standard: people daily use and refer to the standards themselves, but rarely think of (or even know about) the standards bodies behind them. Standards stand alone as notable. Just because the HL7 standards happen to be named after the organization that crafted them does not mean they should share an article: Wikipedia has a fine set of tools for distinguishing homonyms.

- Agree - it is unfortunate that the organization and its standards bear the same name, but most persons using the name HL7 are referring to the standard, and not to the organization. Some of HL7's standards already have their own individual page on WP, whereas others don't - such as HL7 version 2, which is probably the most commonly implemented standard created by the HL7 organization. I'm quite prepared to clean up and properly source the content of these pages, but that'll be on hold as long as this debate rages. No sense in editing a page if it's going to be deleted.

Delete The best I've found in reliable sources is reference to the existence of the museum. There is no indication that the museum itself is notable. Longwayround (talk) 12:08, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Delete The two references in the article are both self-published. I did a quick search and couldn't find any other sources. A bunch of hits for travel guides, blogs, directories, but nothing in independent, reliable, sources. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:50, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
