Just a study, never realistic plans to build a plane. The Banner talk 23:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- keep it Yes it was "just aproject" and the aircraft was never built. But it was a real project. It was the last project of an swiss fighter aircraft after the Lockheed CL-1200 Rockwell X-30 North American XF-108 Rapier, Boeing 2707, Lockheed L-2000, Antonov An-218. If the ALR Piranha has to be deletet all other aircraftprojects would have deletet too. It was a project yes, but the build a cockpit 1:1 layout, the mad differen tests on windtunnel modells, they thested flightcharacteristics on raido controled scale models, the had plans for special HAS shelters for it.. so its not just a few drawings.

- Delete: The general standard used for not-built projects by WikiProject Aircraft is found here and says "Since Wikipedia is not a crystal ball articles about aircraft that have not yet been built are generally discouraged unless reliable sources provide strong evidence that the project is likely to come to fruition, or it is a project by a manufacturer of otherwise notable aircraft." This project doesn't make that criteria as neither organization involved is an established aircraft manufacturer. This might instead be redirected to, and mentioned in, Swiss Air Force instead. - Ahunt (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Note: Notification of the existence of this AfD has been made at WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Aircraft, within whose scope this article falls. - Ahunt (talk) 17:04, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
@Ahunt. Yes it was a project but if you say this has to be deleted then whe have to put all this ones
@Ahunt You have to see the relation you can't expect uch ig aircraft manufacturr like in the USA. The ETH is not an aircraft manufacturer (but also the ZAGI in Russia not but the ZAGI worked for MiG, Sukhoi Tuploev ,..) so i think a famous aircraft building company is not the only important point for the question if an aircraftproject should be here on wikipedia. The ETH was involved also in the construction of real AC like SB-2 & P-16
- Comment: That exactly illustrates my point, it was just an aircraft design project proposal from a non-notable company that had never built aircraft like this and it never went past proposal stage. There was little risk it would ever be built. It is all non-notable. - Ahunt (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
@Ahunt. But only keeping projects of big companys on wikipedia seems for me not a good point. We ave here not a big aircraft company but the ETH , the ALR company the Swiss air Force and such Persons like George Bridel al this partners worked together for this project and each of this partners had worked in one or an other way on projects before and on real Aircraft Sb-2, N-20 P-16. And each of them are still active in the aivatic industrie. the ETH and the ALR had been also working at the actual Solarimpulse2 HB-SIB. Why should a project of an big aircraftbuilder bee more important than of a group of smale partner who are not in general aircraftbuilder but share theyer work for such a project. Also it is said that SAAB had bought parts of the project for the later SAAB Gripen [3]. BTW not bad for such an "unimportant"project if you get it not only as hand made wooden modell but also as plastic kit [4] ;-)
@Ahunt this articels exist to on wikipedia and aren't from big wellknown aircraftcompanys,(in my eyes): no prof that this was realy builtAlekseyev I-212,was never finished Belyayev Babochka and Bartini A-57.
- Keep: While the article is a bit of a mess at the moment, there does appear to be a fair amount of coverage in Reliable Sources. As well as the sources listed above (and there is substantial coverage (~3/4 page if I remember correctly) in at least one edition of Jane's All The World's Aircraft, I have also found two reasonably substantial articles in the magazine Air International:
- "The Light Fighter Market...and a European proposal". Air International. 18 (2): 77–81. February 1980.
- Walters, Brian (November 1992). "Jäger Light: A project a decade too early". Air International. 43 (5): 257–259.
- Coverage of the project, which reached wind tunnel and free-flight scale model testing, and according to the 1992 article was almost selected for license production in an unstated Middle East country, does appear to meet ]
- Keep: there certainly is work to be done, but several much worse articles are not questioned. There are sources and references, there is some imagery, what more could one want? Above all, I am concerned about the people that put a lot of effort into this article and now are threatened with all of that being thrown away. Their work deserves respect and appreciation. Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Keep: Not a Crystal Ball doesn't apply as we are not talking about vague future plans, but an actual project that existed (and which saw significant work done). Just because it wasn't by an established company doesn't deny it notability.NiD.29 (talk) 04:36, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

- As a Michigan football follower, I've nominated this with reluctance (as well as a couple others), but I'm just not seeing the coverage that would cause Matthews to pass GNG. Happy to reconsider if such coverage can be located. Cbl62 (talk) 23:12, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Based on Tony's comment, I checked the Michigan football statistics archive here to see if there was information that would cause me to reconsider. The data actually tends to confirm my original opinion on Mathews' lack of notability. He never had a 100-yard receiving or multiple touchdown game, had a grand total of six touchdowns over four seasons, never received any All-American, All-Big 10, or even team honors, and accumulated only 409 receiving yards in his best season at Michigan. Cbl62 (talk) 23:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Just to confirm, Cbl: the subject was lining up at wide receiver, not tight end, for four years, right? Is this a WP:NHSPHSATH situation, where the subject got a lot of recruiting hype coverage pre-college and notability was based primarily on his high school career? If so, possible application of the general notability guidelines regarding his high school career is superseded by the tougher standards for high school athletes per WP:NHSPHSATH. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)]
- My understanding, confirmed by his Mgoblue bio, is that Mathews played principally at the wide receiver position, not at tight end.

- Delete, with caveat. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for college athletes per WP:NHSPHSATH. What I am not finding is significant coverage in mainstream sports and news publications, i.e. more than recruiting websites or two or three random sentences in post-game coverage, but there is a lot of clutter through which to sort. If someone can show me two or three feature articles about the subject from mainstream publications (i.e. not blogs, not recruiting services, not fansites, etc.), I would reconsider.

- I took a look at on-line sources before nominating and could not find much in the way of significant coverage. The best I found was a couple pieces, both local coverage, from The Ann Arbor News here and here. I also searched the archives of The Detroit News here and the Detroit Free Press here and found no feature stories on Mathews. If more and better coverage can be found, I'd reconsider as well.

- Delete -- In the grand scheme of things, Justine isn't very notable. She's a private citizen whose visibility has come mainly from being attacked publicly for her views in some vicious gossip blogs and tabloid rags, and that's about it. As such her Wikipedia article mirrors the tone of the sources about her, and it's not pretty. This article is mostly an extended attack against her, which easily falls afoul of WP:BLP, and should thus be deleted. --Cyde Weys 18:36, 19 September 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep - The "grand scheme of things" is not Wikipedia's notability standard, it is coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject, which is definitely fulfilled here. Occupy Wall Street was a historically significant event. Tunney has argued that she was the hidden leader behind the scenes of Occupy Wall Street; whether that is true or not I do not know, but that is what she claims. In any case, the article is clearly not mostly about that event. She is also notable for getting into a public argument with her former compatriats in OWS, and for her political opinions post-OWS. The Advocate is not a "gossip blog" or "tabloid rag". Neither is the Daily Telegraph! If no-one has written anything positive about Tunney's petition to make Eric Schmidt CEO of America, which even Tunney herself has admitted was "silly", then of course the article is not going to portray it in a positive way. I have acknowledged twice in the article the possibility, as discussed in a reference, that Tunney may be a troll rather than a sincere right-winger, but even this comes off as negative, so I can't win. If you have any suggestions about how to rewrite the article to make it more neutral, please feel free to edit the article. Update! Thanks to information contained in Tunney's own internet postings, I have found coverage of yet another event she was involved in, and added that to the article. Also, I think that Anarkinsey is abusing this deletion venue as a means to badger me into deleting bits of the article s/he doesn't like, as s/he admits that Tunney "may" be notable.--greenrd (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and this is not anymore notable than any other violent attacks that happened in the same week in the United States. It does not conform to WP:LASTING or WP:GEOSCOPE and does not even pretend to be NPOV. Orasis (talk) 05:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia's lasting effects guideline says that an event is notable if it "act(s) as a precedent or catalyst for something else" including legislation. Because of this anti-gay assault, a Philadelphia law maker is going to try to make anti-gay assaults a gay crime. Currently, in Pennsylvania, there is no special protection on the basis of someone's sexual orientation or gender identity (only racial minorities are protected). I wrote about this on the article's talk page (which WIkipedia isn't letting me link to because of the weird three apostrophes that are part of the title at the end…) because I don't think I should like to the sources on this page(?). If this article somehow doesn't get deleted, the title of the article needs to be changed.-12.30.109.2 (talk) 07:30, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Since I can't link to the talk page because of the three apostrophes in the title problem, I'll post what I wrote there:
This crime is notable because it may cause the state of Pennsylvania to enact new legislation that protects people on the basis of their sexual orientation. Currently, there is no hate crime protection for gay people in Pennsylvania, there is only protection for racial minorities ("ethnic intimidation").

- On the point of a precedent or catalyst for something else: Sometimes it is notable (Boston Tea Party), but sometimes it's not. Also, a change in Pennsylvania legislation is only a proposal, hasn't gotten any more attention than the incident, and may not even rise to Wikipedia notability even if passed; some states have specific hate crime laws, and some don't. --Closeapple (talk) 09:59, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per POV pushing extends to what seems like a premeditated rush to defame one specific person by name as far and irrevocably as possible, in case that individual is cleared or otherwise not destroyed to the advocates' satisfaction later. If the article is kept, there is no harm in referring to the person by description and relationship with the school, rather than by identifiable name, and then adding the name later if the person is named by police, indicted, or holds a press conference. But forcing the name onto Wikipedia, the 5th-most-visted site on the web, makes it harder to undo the effect; claiming that less-attended media sites are doing it too is not an excuse, particularly as it is based on leaks by unnamed sources. --Closeapple (talk) 09:59, 19 September 2014 (UTC)]
- Snow / IAR delete per Closeapple. In particular we are not news, not a soapbox, the alleged crime is not notable, and it names people who have not been convicted.

Full chemical name for titin
Probably about the most useless page on Wikipedia right now. Trivia in the form of a 190K page that no one will ever actually read. Oh, there is a typo in the name at about the 10,000th character.
- Keep Useless? Well, for one thing, you could try testing the visual editor with it, eh? Browsing for sources, there seem to be lots of people out there having trouble putting this famous word into their documents. If we can handle it, then we perform a valuable service in making it available. The topic is obviously an adjunct or appendix to the main article about WP:SIZE it seems sensible to split onto this separate page. Andrew (talk) 19:07, 18 September 2014 (UTC)]
- Migrate to Wikisource. The information, while interesting, possibly fundamentally violates WP:Technical as its usage is inherently technical and the intricacies of the structure as indicated by the word itself are both difficult (impossible?) for the "average" reader to understand and impossible to summarize in any other way as this is just one word that has no synonyms.

- Migrate to Wikisource. This article does not belong on Wikipedia because the whole page is devoted to just the word. The rest of the technical information is on the main article. The only reason to go to the page is for the novelty of the long word. Other long-worded articles have content other than just the long word. Thus, it is not an encyclopedic article by itself. Ideally, it should be merged, but since that is obviously out of the question, we should move it to Wikisource so we can still reference it. Once moved, it should be linked to in the main article. cyberdog958Talk 22:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- Transwiki to wikisource. Articles need to contain more than a single word (even if that single word is longer than most articles). As has been previously stated, other articles about really long words are legitimate article that do more than just spell out the long word. According to comments on Talk:Titin, clear consensus has already emerged against putting the whole name of titin in the article. As such, I believe the best solution is to transwiki. As the longest word in any language, the full name of titin is definitely of literary significance and appropriate for inclusion in wikisource. We could even provide a link to the wikisource page on the Linguistic significance section of the titin article. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 23:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

- Just a quick comment on the last two points, these are good points and I don't have an issue with a list as well as category for certains lists. My main concern is what qualifies as a trading company. Given the definition in the article I would say most companies are trading companies. All retailers, shops, distributors and importers exporters etc, the list goes on, I would say the bulk of all companies in existence would qualify. In particular I note that financial trading companies such as ABN Assets and Plus500 have been added to the list, if these also qualify then we can add most financial companies as well. I note that WP:WikiProject Companies has about 20,000 company pages on Wikipedia, so are we suggesting adding a large percentage of these to this article? Doncram your suggestion of limiting it to notable companies could help and the article could be renamed, but again definition is difficult, to have an article on wikipedia it must be notable so we might still be talking 5,000 -10,000 companies. I note that before this article became a magnet for spam entries, which is why I noticed it and proposed its deletion, most of the companies on the list were historic and an alternative could be to create a page of companies established before a certain date say 1800 so that we only have historic companies, but not sure this achieves the purpose of the creator of this list.

- To be clear, notability of items within a list does not have to rise to the level of Wikipedia-notability for an independent article on each item. Red-links are useful, and is one way that lists are better/different than categories. Black-links where no article is expected can be okay. See wp:LISTN. I think it is pretty obvious that each item that has an independent article can be mentioned in a list, but also more can be mentioned (with sources). Standards for list item inclusion are to be discussed at the list-article talk page. --doncram 16:42, 19 September 2014 (UTC)]
- To be clear, notability of items within a list does not have to rise to the level of Wikipedia-notability for an independent article on each item. Red-links are useful, and is one way that lists are better/different than categories. Black-links where no article is expected can be okay. See
- Just a quick comment on the last two points, these are good points and I don't have an issue with a list as well as category for certains lists. My main concern is what qualifies as a trading company. Given the definition in the article I would say most companies are trading companies. All retailers, shops, distributors and importers exporters etc, the list goes on, I would say the bulk of all companies in existence would qualify. In particular I note that financial trading companies such as ABN Assets and Plus500 have been added to the list, if these also qualify then we can add most financial companies as well. I note that WP:WikiProject Companies has about 20,000 company pages on Wikipedia, so are we suggesting adding a large percentage of these to this article? Doncram your suggestion of limiting it to notable companies could help and the article could be renamed, but again definition is difficult, to have an article on wikipedia it must be notable so we might still be talking 5,000 -10,000 companies. I note that before this article became a magnet for spam entries, which is why I noticed it and proposed its deletion, most of the companies on the list were historic and an alternative could be to create a page of companies established before a certain date say 1800 so that we only have historic companies, but not sure this achieves the purpose of the creator of this list. Sargdub (talk) 01:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Agree that notable is understood given that only companies notable enough to have an article are listed. It is assumed that each company fits within the definition given in Trading company. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:20, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well, see my followup just above, and wp:LISTN. An AFD cannot decide forever that the list-item inclusion standards must be so high. Items can be red-links or black-links without articles. I personally don't care about inclusion standards for this one list, and restricting inclusion to simply items known to be wikipedia-notable on their own is okay by me. But continuing standards are for discussion at the list-article's talk page. --doncram 16:42, 19 September 2014 (UTC)]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a newspaper, not a bulletin board and not an advertisement space.

Notoriety according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COMPANY includes a definition of "notable" that states that a given company/organization must have multiple first-party, non-regional, reputable sources, which the article more than satisfies with several independent reputable sources. It should also be noted that the '"Notability" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance"', and is not based on ones opinion of a company, but rather the direct reference not related to the product in reputable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubernooder (talk • contribs) 20:31, 15 September 2014 (UTC) — Ubernooder (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep - Respectfully disagree with DGG. Inc magazine is a national publication and the ranking is highly coveted. See news coverage of this year's list here. DGG does not provide a definition of "small" so it's impossible to dispute, but according to the Inc 500 results, DataXu's revenue is greater than $100M. Finally, the article's author could easily have provided more than 100 articles written about DataXu from publications as diverse as AdAge, MarketingWeek, GigaOm and Boston Magazine. http://www.dataxu.com/media-coverage/.

- Keep - The sources in the article alone are probably enough for a weak keep, but I remember reading about this game in print magazines on the 1990s too. I'll do some digging, but I'm fairly certain this one has the necessary coverage.

- Delete The "Political and social career" section is full of WP:POLITICIAN. He's never even been a candidate for office, he just works for a political party and has written some letters to the editor.
- Finally, the section "Human rights advocacy in Israel/Palestine" which is, apart from the section on his deportation from Israel, 2 lines long and notes that he founded a university Palestine solidarity society. As for the section on his deportation from Israel, it's a prime example of WP:NOTNEWS. Every single one of the sources about his deportation is from within a few days of the incident, which was back in January. There is clearly no enduring notability in this event which received routine coverage in the news - "Palestine activist deported from Israel". The event itself was, per WP:NOTNEWS, notable enough to receive press coverage for a couple of days, but there is no enduring notability beyond that and he is not himself notable. Per BLP1E, each of the 3 criteria for deleting this article are met:
- "reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" - true, the only other sources provided are blogs and letters to the editor he's written.
- "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" - again, aside from the routine coverage of his deportation, he's received no significant coverage in reliable sources, either before or since the event.
- "If the event is not significant" - man was deported from Israel. There was routine press coverage on it and a week later, it was forgotten about.
- As his political career fails WP:POLITICIAN and the only thing that he has received attention for is a single, routinely-covered news event, the article should be deleted. Tiller54 (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- weak delete probably meets GNG but the overly promotional and WP:AUTOBIO nature of the article really makes it non-redeemable BlueSalix (talk) 05:18, 20 September 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete Fails wp:politician. Once the poorly sourced (to blogs and letters he's written to newspapers) claims have been removed, the only thing that's left is the fact that he was once deported from Israel. There's nothing else to say. The incident is not significant, he remains a low-profile individual and the coverage stopped 2 days after the incident happened. Dcfc1988 (talk) 23:11, 21 September 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete, for much the same reasons as Dcfc1988. Article very largely puts a one-sided positive view of Spedding while only being cited to news articles by him (rather than about him). The news articles about his airport detention in Israel contain little if any biographical info. Fails ]
- Weak keep-- it seems like GNG is met. BLP1E would be an issue were it not for the fact that Spedding could be seen as high-profile (in his activism and politics). Darmokand (talk) 10:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't know the mentioned awards, if they are major, that could change things, but actually I doubt it.
