Very much a

WP:SYNTH violation. This sets forth the proposition that any sport with "hockey" in the name is comparable (except when it isn't), as well as that the IOC is the guarantor of what qualifies as athletic achievement or not. It also equates "major achievements" by nation through the respective national teams' performance at IOC-sanctioned world championships, completely a SYNTH violation. No sources discussing the concept as a concept. Ravenswing 21:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply

I am the creator of the article and I received a notification stating that this article is being considered for deletion. First and foremost, it is important to notice that hockey is an umbrella term. The current version of the article about hockey in wikipedia clearly shows that by listing different versions and variations. As a way to streamline the scope of the article, I focused on the variations that are governed by international federations currently recognized by the International Olympic Committee. While it is not "the guarantor" of athletic achievement, it is widely respected and easily recognizable by a huge number of people around the planet.
Second, the discussion about the sports being comparable or not must be taken further to other pages in order to achieve consensus for what variations should be included on the hockey article. Besides, the article about roller hockey states that "Roller Hockey is played on both Quad skates and Inline skates, have different rules and equipment, and involve different types of skating but share the category and name of Roller Hockey." If we are to believe that the sports are not comparable, the very simple concept of roller hockey endorsed by the Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (quad and inline under the roller hockey label) would be challenged.
Third, this is part of a series of articles about achievements in sports, and based on what I previously explained, the content lists what it is supposed to list. Since there are many variations of the sport listed here, maybe changing the title of the article to "Major achievements in hockey sports by nation" could remedy potential complains, if there is one at all
Finally, all of the results of the tournaments listed on the article are widely available online. I also provided links to every article containing the results of the tournaments, and have added external links and references that could be checked for confirmation. This is no original research since the results were previously available in Wikipedia and online. There is also no new conclusion being reached; if we are to believe there is one thanks to the ranking system, then all of the ranked medal tables within Wikipedia must be deleted from all of the articles containing one.
The main purpose of the article is to inform and help improving popularity of different hockey sports, providing one easily accessible source of information linking together different articles while, at the same time, displaying a list of countries that performed well enough to reach a medal result in a major tournament in hockey. At this time, there are eight other articles that do the same thing for gymnastics, football, volleyball and other sports. So far, the content of the articles have never been challenged by the community.
Nevertheless, I would like to know from other users what they think about the article and how it can be improved in any form. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 00:14, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Gymnastics is ONE sport, with ONE recognized international sanctioning body. Association football is ONE sport, with ONE recognized international sanctioning body. Volleyball is ONE sport, with ONE recognized international sanctioning body. A table like this for bandy (say) and bandy alone would meet appropriate standards. This portmanteau of several completely different sports does not. Ravenswing 02:25, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You should know that gymnastics is not governed by only one body: there is FIG, and there is also FISAF, as well as IFAAG and IRV. Football has FIFA, FIFUSA/AMF and WMF. If you have problems with many different sports being added to the list, then you should be discussing what sports should be added to the article about hockey in the very first place. At first you were complaining about the IOC being used as the only source of guaranteeing athletic achievement, but now you are trying to rely on one single definition of a sport. So, what sport hockey is? If you assume hockey is ONE sport, then we should consider field hockey (and its indoor variant) the only existing version of the sport, since it is governed by the International Hockey Federation. If we consider hockey to be any sport with the word hockey within its title, then ice hockey and roller hockey also qualify. If we take the definitions used in Wikipedia's own article about hockey, then the other sports listed there could also be considered hockey.
In order to comply with the content of the hockey article, I decided to add bandy and floorball as well. But if you believe this is a source of confusion for readers, I agree about removing bandy and floorball from the list, keeping the other versions of hockey that are titled hockey in the list. If you think it should receive a new title, something like "Major achievements in hockey sports", or "hockey variations", or anything else, I would also agree to change the title. If this makes the article more streamlined in your opinion, I see no problem in doing that. However, I strongly believe this implies some sort of "cleanup" would be needed in the main hockey article. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 03:14, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you genuinely believe that authorities that claim to govern indoor soccer or futsal are comparable to FIFA's sway over association football (and that they constitute the same sports as association football), or that the Finnish sport of "aesthetic group gymnastics" or competitive aerobics are what people have in mind when they discuss world-class gymnastics ... well, 'nuff said. Ravenswing 11:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You mentioned that the IOC cannot be considered the only source for defining what athletic achievement is. I mentioned that there are different bodies governing the sports, so that FIFA cannot be considered the only source for athletic achievement in football, or FIG in gymnastics. Now, I am supposed to believe it is absurd to expect that. This completely contradicts your own arguments. FIFA considers the tournaments organized by BSWW (the governing body of beach soccer prior to FIFA officially recognizing it) as official tournaments. In 1989 there was a meeting to discuss whether the tournaments organized by FIFUSA could be considered official tournaments or not. Trampoline World Championships were organized by FIT before 1999 and currently the FIG considers the events to be official events. Historically, variations of a sport are eventually accepted by the official federations. Of course this cannot be taken for granted, but there is enough evidence in history.
Besides, there is a reason why aesthetic group gymnastics was not added to my list in gymnastics, and aerobics is an official discipline recognized by FIG. I did not create the lists out of the blue. Sensible choices have been made and the content of all the lists have been widely accepted by the communities. This is the only list that is challenged by a group of fans of one variation of the sport. What you are trying to do is impose a single point of view as the truth, since this discussion was added to an Ice Hockey related group. It seems to me that you and the people who believe Ice Hockey is the true hockey consider it absurd to mention other variations as part of the same sport. What you fail to understand is that it completely contradicts what the Wikipedia article about hockey says at all. What I gather from all the comments here is immense bias towards the other variations. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 15:03, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A minor comment - I don't believe we are defending "true hockey" as ice hockey, I think we are trying to point out that on a nationally competitive level, there is no crossover from field hockey, ice hockey, bandy, floorball, ect. The wikipedia article on hockey is far more about the origins and evolution of the related sports (and how the term "hockey" might be used colloquially) and there are no other articles (or sources that I have found) relating the sub-types of hockey, including their respective international competitions. Yosemiter (talk) 15:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete:This is not the place for this. There is nothing on the page that implies that these sports results are compared in encyclopedias or media so whether the results are comparable is trivial at best. Ranked medal tables are provided by the IIHF and FIH (for example), so they are appropriate on their respective pages and is not relevant to whether this page is valid or not.

If the main source of problem is the ranked system, listing the countries in alphabetical order would devoid the list of any possible accusation of violation of guidelines. Besides, the scope of the list should not be restricted to discussions in North America, or Ice Hockey, since the sport is merely one of the variations listed. Administrators must be aware that conclusions reached here could potentially be biased since the discussion was not taken to a bigger group of people who could be interested on the article. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 01:08, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No that is not the main source of the problem. Ranked or not, find something encyclopedic or media related that compares these sports and then you have may have a reason for the article to exist.
18abruce (talk) 05:10, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
What you are (and everybody else is) saying is that one should not assume that the article hockey could be taken as a guideline or starting point. It baffles me that the fact that the sports are grouped together in the main article on Wikipedia about the sport should not be seen as enough evidence for the list to be made the way it was. If the countries are not ranked, then the sports are not being compared; they are merely being listed together under the same group, provided there is a precendent reason in the hockey article. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 06:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Countries are now listed in alphabetical order. The list is now comparable to
    List of iOS devices, since no conclusions can be reached and it merely lists information that is linked to other pages on Wikipedia. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 01:36, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Delete: per nom. I find this page (and the entire series that mentioned about the other sports Template:Achievementsinsports) confusing and actually less informative than the much more specific articles that already exist such as List of IIHF World Championship medalists. Other things about the pages that I find irritating is the links to specific countries or general sports pages. You list only their top achievements in each internationally recognized competition but no links the countries specific team or organizations. So if I wanted to check when Great Britain last won Gold in field hockey in the Olympics (or how many times), I would have to sort through several links just to get there, in which case Google would be faster, defeating what seems to be the intended purpose of a list such as this. (Also Field hockey at the Summer Olympics already exists and tells me everything I wanted to know about said subject) Yosemiter (talk) 04:30, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The general purpose of the lists is to inform the readers about the highest achievements a given nation achieved at one specific tournament or competition. It is impossible to link to specific teams since either 1) Wikipedia does not have a page for (most, if any) of them (such as in Gymnastics) or 2) there are different pages for men's and women's teams, making it impossible to provide one single link (field hockey, ice hockey and so on). Besides, the articles are supposed to provide an overall look about the performances of the countries. If people want specific information, they can look for it in the corresponding articles. Complaining about such thing is like saying people should be able to see where iPhones are being sold in their hometown when reading about differences between iPhone versions. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 04:43, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Then you misunderstand what I meant. What I was asking for is more like searching a list of iPhones for when the iPhone 3GS was released and what operating system it has. This list is more like a general list of phone manufacturers who once sold a top selling phone at some point in time. My point is that the list is a compilation of semi-related and better formed lists. This all just seems too vague and seems to be
WP:SYNTH
since is an extrapolation assuming that a country's competitive various national hockey teams are somehow related.
I understand your point now, but I am still genuinely surprised that the opinions here entirely contradict what is listed on the article hockey. It looks like the article tries too hard to define what hockey might be, but at this point of the discussion here there are far too many people who are only able to state what hockey is not. ?What I understand from all the comments is that hockey is not something that can be assumed as many different sports under the same name, but this is precisely what the main article is about. Should it be deleted then to avoid confusion in the future as well? -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 06:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While the separated and moved page is certainly better more informative since it is now only about field hockey this still seems a bit
International field hockey tournaments. "Major achievements" just seems to be vague and arbitrary in its current format. Having total medal counts is more typical on most individual lists (separating gold/silver/bronze); as it appears now, winning one gold and no other medals is comparable to winning one gold and ten other medals (in the history of the same tournament). If both this (improved) table and the info already in the list of field hockey tournaments were merged I think it would give a more thorough understanding of what is being listed. The result would be one page containing links to all tournaments and how generally successful its participants were over time. Yosemiter (talk) 18:23, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
I like this idea. The list if fairly small when compared to other sports (especially gymnastics, judo and swimming), so merging it with
international field hockey tournaments
is a great solution.
My original intention was to create a list for gymnastics, since finding information about specific tournaments is somewhat confusing and time consuming for "non fans" of the sport. There are many of them in five different disciplines, and right now 60 different countries got a medal of any kind. It worked quite well for gymnastics, and swimming as well. But I guess that when it comes to team sports, there are few different federations that organize many major tournaments to the point of making it confusing for people to follow the action (FIVB is the only one that comes to mind, and maybe FIFA). -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 05:51, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more change to the original article. I deleted the entries for Bandy and Floorball. If people still complain about it and think it should be deleted, just go ahead and delete the whole article.

  • I think you will find that for the most part the hockey article is the only article that is really needed for hockey, the sub-types are the extension of that topic individually. There probably wouldn't be much sense on combined articles for all the topics other than the parent hockey article. -DJSasso (talk) 14:05, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has been suggested that the content of the article should be split between different articles. I said I do not plan to do that. How is this not relevant to the discussion? -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 15:03, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete What I think the author is missing is that actual articles or books (ie sources) have to have been written that talk about the combination of those sports wins. Individually they have most definitely been written about, but I doubt you will find sources that discuss the fact that X country won 20 ice hockey championships, 10 field hockey championships and 5 bandy championships etc. -DJSasso (talk) 14:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I get what the article creator was trying to do, but this is still a
    WP:SYNTH problem. Primarily, The fact that various sports contain the word "hockey" does not create a significant link that justifies a list such as this. It would be like building a list of nations that have won at Soccer, Gridiron football, Aussie Rules Football and Rugby. They are all codes or descendants of football, but not really related when discussing international achievement. So for that reason, I don't see the value of ranking countries by highest achievement in various random sports. Personally, however, I personally would be more supportive of a list that ranks number of championships in events sanctioned by an individual governing body. So, for instance, IIHF sanctioned events.

  • Contrary to what I originally planned, I decided to edit the article once again and now it only covers

I change my vote to Merge with
International field hockey tournaments to make a complete article (this table could be considered an overall results summary of the list there). Otherwise, I have no objection to its existence as is (possibly with improvements (such as total medal counts for gold, silver, and bronze since even a bronze medal from a country that has also one a gold at one point could be considered a "major achievement").

It's a middle school with no evidence of any particular notability. The editor who is creating it says that it is notable, but nothing in his/her first 12 edits to the article suggests this.

  • Redirect to school district per
    NRHP). Numerous inclusions on the national Blue Ribbon Schools list will sometimes do it. Having a very large (>50) number of notable grads in one field might point to having a notable program in the school, but that would have to be verified by solid reliable sources independent of the school and geographically disperse. Example: If there were 70 notable actors from this school and you could find newspaper or magazine articles about the drama program, some from outside the Baltimore-DC metroplex, then maybe you might have notability. In short, there is no way this article gets kept, and I hate to see you wasting time on it. Almost all the Baltimore area high schools need reference work in their athletic sections. Hint, hint.

Online mirrors suggest that it is. Otherwise, I'm not comfortable deleting an article merely because the available sourcing isn't English-language.

Especially since the citation for that sentence is a primary source-- only the 2nd authors name is listed in the citation, but when I googled it, I found that the book's author was also the primary author of that impact study.

Does not appear to be a notable publication. Unfortunately, due to the subject's name, it is very difficult to find coverage for it, if they exist (which doesn't seem to be the case).

  • @
    WP:GNG, so whether or not the article should stay is nothing about 1) who wrote it, 2) whether they'd accept it in a Chinese textbook or 3) whether Jefferson should be in the textbooks of Texas. It is everything about whether your publication has had "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". A link from your university is not a reliable independent source. Do you have any other mentions in books or independent regional or national media? JMWt (talk) 21:22, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • @JMWt: In response to whether the publication has "significant coverage in reliable sources" I'd have to say no, not yet. Further, in no manner did i refer to the notability of an article being defined as the three subcategories you mention. As someone who has always used wikipedia for digestion of random information, I was not aware of the strict acceptance and deletion guidelines when creating an article. I did not realize that something had to be of national significance to be included as you put in your response. Your clearly irritated and rude response to a new user in the wikipedia community is completely off-putting and a poor representation of what this open learning and teaching community should be.
nope, not irritated nor angry. I was just trying to separate what is actually an argument for keeping an article from what isn't. As I have recently said to another new editor here, it is unfortunate that your article has ended up here at AfD, which can be hard to understand. But the guidelines are pretty clear that you need independent secondary sources to show notability as per
WP:YFA, submit the article for review and ask for help if you are not sure about anything. I hope you keep editing, this process is not an attack upon your person, but a long-accepted mechanism for quality checking wikipedia articles. JMWt (talk) 21:54, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

In amongst that rubbish you've made some irrelevant and incorrect statements. You mostly focus on what sources have been used elsewhere. So what if
other articles use them, they are not the ones being discussed here. Putting aside the OTHERSTUFF aspect, let's look at an example, the last source you defend. Frost & Sullivan. Regardless of it use elsewhere, the particular source used here, as clearly seen from it's url (http://ww2.frost.com/news/press-releases/frost-sullivan-applauds-nextivas-impressive-customer-service-achieved-through-excellent-employee-and-client-management-strategie/) is a press release. Utterly useless for any consideration of appropriate coverage for WP:CORP. Another example, Chicago Tribune has only a passing mention, no depth of coverage, also no good for WP:CORP. You also state "There is no one link that can be inserted on Wikipedia more than 3 times without being marked as linkspam for that matter." That is a complete falsehood. And "The references I have mentioned as examples would have already been blacklisted as linkspam if they were not offering genuine and balanced coverage about subjects covered on Wikipedia."

While the present article is unfortunately named and perhaps could be merged into Simultaneous equations model, the vast majority of these articles are legitimate statistical topics, not mere textbook section titles. I strongly recommend against mass-deleting articles by what appears to be a relatively new user who's expending a lot of effort to filling a huge gap in modern statistical topics on Wikipedia.

Questionably notable and improvable as it seems it may not even actually exist anymore (coverage about it seems to end in about 2012) and my searches found nothing better than this, this and then at Singapore news websites Business Times, The New Paper, The Straits Times, Today and InSing (although I found it was simply a local travel guide) as well as AsiaOne where I found the same link listed here. This simply hasn't changed much since starting in September 2010 and there's especially none happening if it's now non-existent and never even got lasting coverage. It also seems obvious this was mostly contributed by the festival people so it almost looks more like a personal webpage rather than a formal encyclopedia article (any more different and promotional and I would've simply speedied).

  • Keep. Pretty horrible when first nominated; a lot better now, thanks to good work (flab removal, sourcing) by Lopifalko. Presumably created and maintained for promotional purposes, but then this is true of a huge number of articles hereabouts, and the problem is not of how promotional it was but of how promotional it's doomed to be. It's less than stellar now and indeed may deteriorate, but then this is true of well over half of the articles here. Though still not great, sourcing isn't bad and all in all it deserves to live on. -- Hoary (talk) 08:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've added citations from local/regional newspaper articles as well as a local history book. The family memoir was used only to fill out the description (as the oral and written traditions will be lost if not recorded). I've removed some paragraphs that were unnecessary to the core subject of how the local community was built. It is important to local communities to record their heritage before it is lost forever. I would submit that besides the published citations I have added, the oral and written traditions (from primary sources) were extremely important to local pioneer families. This is how tradition and history in small communities was recorded and passed down. You may disregard the "family memoir" portion of the article, and I believe it still stands on the published citations alone.

Comment As there are no sources presently available to Wikipedia, from the one-year-posthumous article about the family, it seems Paul Dobbs was an enthusiastic amateur, who had an extensive entry history in Isle of Man events. The 1960s phrase referring to such amateurs and the Isle of Man was 'holiday racer'. There are still some around with a couple of bikes and a tent for a couple of weeks, but likely the phrase has fallen out of use. The IoM races are totally different to those exampled in WP:NMOTORSPORT/3, not part of a series, not with European/World level teams participating, and certainly not with any National significance.

Keep: List of Global Television Network personalities gives some indication of extent of existing coverage of similar subjects, which suggests that he may pass WP:JOURNALIST#1.

The standard for inclusion of television journalists is really quite simple: they are the subject of substantial coverage in
reliable sources that are independent of the subject or his own employer. There doesn't need to be any special policy beyond that fact — but no such coverage has been shown here. Bearcat (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

A click on the Find sources link above for "Peter Chura" leads the reader to "substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject or his own employer." The coverage of the subject has in fact increased significantly over the past month. This article has been in existence since 2006 and has had contributions from a number of editors. There might have been a case at some point over those past 10 years to move to have the article deleted, due to lack of substantial coverage. I think that point has now clearly passed.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions. North America1000 05:39, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding his recent entry into politics, provincial candidates are not normally presumed to be notable. The only coverage appears to be the mere announcement of his candidacy and all of the sources cited (in the article and this AfD) are from the same day. While the announcement got a little more coverage than the average provincial candidacy on account of him presumably being a known name in Winnipeg, it is still just coverage of the one announcement. If that's essentially all the coverage, that's coming close to
Liberal Party of Canada candidates, 2015 Canadian federal election
.
Of course, as Bearcat noted, this may be an appropriate subject for an article in the future if the subject were to become notable (by, e.g, winning the election, becoming a uniquely notable candidate for some reason, moving up in his field as a journalist, receiving a significant award or distinction for his journalism, etc.). Graham (talk) 07:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Assessing if someone is "an important figure" or not can be tricky and Graham tackles this difficult area; Graham talks about audience size, speculating that Global TV audiences may be "much smaller" than CBC or CTV, without actually providing any stats. Perhaps audience size might be relevant if we were comparing a national TV company with a small local or alternative media outlet, but we are not. Graham also talks about differences in markets between Winnipeg and Montreal/Vancouver. I'm not sure how relevant that distinction is or should be. I think what is more relevant is the actual status; Winnipeg, like Montreal and Vancouver, is a provincial capital and like the other two, seeks to serve a province wide audience. This Afd discussion has also overlooked another consideration and that is Chura has not just had a Manitoba profile; the article reveals he has also had a profile in Edmonton, Alberta, Timmins, Ontario and Ottawa, Ontario and finally has worked for CBC on a national daily programme from Toronto. So that is three provinces and a nationwide show. Graham's initial view about "sufficiently notable on the basis of his work as a journalist." is no longer a relevant consideration by itself due to his further notability beyond journalism. I think it would be fairer to say that Chura's candidacy announcement got substantially more coverage than the average candidacy, provincial, federal or otherwise. Graemp (talk) 16:14, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The only way a candidacy for office can ever contribute to a person's notability is if it (inter-)nationalizes into something on the order of the media firestorm that ate
WP:ROUTINE, because it isn't substantively different from what all candidates for office always get in the runup to all elections. So no, the candidacy coverage doesn't make him more notable on that basis than any other unelected candidate would be — until such time as he wins the election and thereby holds a notable office, the only way to make him notable enough to have a Wikipedia article now is to source the article to coverage of him in the context of being a journalist (and no, mentions of his past career as a journalist in articles which are about the candidacy don't satisfy that.) Bearcat (talk) 19:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
(edit conflict) I'm sorry, but I don't think it's right for you to say that "Graham's initial view about 'sufficiently notable on the basis of his work as a journalist.' is no longer a relevant consideration by itself due to his further notability beyond journalism." when I was clearly addressing the subject's notability as a journalist and as a politician in separate paragraphs.
"Perhaps audience size might be relevant if we were comparing a national TV company with a small local or alternative media outlet, but we are not. Graham also talks about differences in markets between Winnipeg and Montreal/Vancouver. I'm not sure how relevant that distinction is or should be. I think what is more relevant is the actual status; Winnipeg, like Montreal and Vancouver, is a provincial capital and like the other two, seeks to serve a province wide audience." Where is it that you are suggesting the line is there? If a former news anchor on CKND-DT is notable, then could/should we say the same of an anchor on CBCT-DT in Charlottetown, PEI (another provincial capital), assuming the anchor were not otherwise notable? Or what about CKX-TV in Brandon, Manitoba?
In terms of audience numbers, these are a few years out of date, but it gives us an idea: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/entertainment/TV/ctv-still-dominates-local-tv-news-ratings-113339259.html. That being said, ratings definitely aren't the crux of the issue here.
Regarding your comparison to Global BC and Global Montreal, Global Winnipeg serves 91% of Manitoba's population of 1.2 million. Global BC, for example, serves 97% of BC's population of 4.4 million. I would say it's a significant difference when Global Winnipeg has a quarter of the potential reach of Global BC. And if you look at the numbers for Global Montreal, they're similar.
But really, in short – and I think this is key here – the question that has to be asked with respect to Chura's work as a journalist is "
has [he] has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
"
? I think the answer clear.
Looking separately at his political work, the reality is that at this point, it's almost non-existent. While it seems most of the major media outlets in Southern Manitoba ran a short piece on the announcement of his candidacy, that one day of non-extensive coverage is the extent of his political career thus far. I don't know in what other field we would consider one day of non-extensive coverage of a
WP:SINGLEEVENT
in the regional media as sufficient to deem the individual involved in the event to be notable.
I imagine that one could attempt to make the argument that while he is not sufficiently notable solely as a journalist or as a politician, the combination of his notability in both of those fields might be enough. I don't buy that, however, as there's effectively no significant coverage of his journalism in reliable sources and his notability in politics doesn't extend beyond one day of non-extensive news coverage in the regional press.
Finally, I think it is worth restating that this someone who, if elected, will be almost unquestionably notable. If he receives extensive (preferably national) coverage for his campaign, he will likely be notable as well. But as things stand right now, he is a regional news anchor about whom there is no significant coverage and a provincial third party candidate who independent sources haven't covered except to say that he is running. Graham (talk) 02:29, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:RS requires sourcing that are independent of the subject or his own employer. I don't think that the bracketed qualification that Bearcat requests should override Wikipedia:RS. Nevertheless I appreciate that Bearcat, the proposer of deletion is now recognising sufficient notability for the article to remain, so I would be happy to collaborate with Bearcat to improve it. Given that Bearcat has a history of editing this article in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010, I am happy to let Bearcat take first crack. Graemp (talk) 21:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
Nice try, but nothing I said anywhere in this discussion suggests that I think there is "sufficient notability for the article to remain". For the article to remain, reliable sources would have to be covering him in the context of his work as a journalist, and not in the context of his candidacy for an office that he hasn't been elected to yet. But the sourcing that's been shown here has not satisfied that condition at all — and I've said nothing that contradicts any part of that statement anywhere in this discussion. And Wikipedia's inclusion and minimum sourcing standards have changed considerably since 2006 — a lot of things that were acceptable on here a decade ago are nowhere near acceptable under the standards that an article has to meet now. So the fact that I might have edited the article in the past does not prove that I'm being inconsistent — it just proves that Wikipedia's rules about what's enough notability/sourcing and what isn't have changed. Bearcat (talk) 22:10, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are two separate issues here; Assessing an individuals notability and assessing the way the article presents this through sourcing. In assessing notability we rely upon
Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Bearcat proposed deletion essentially because identifying reliable sources had not occurred. I think it is fairly clear that the information in the article can be sourced in accordance with Wikipedia:RS. (The sources at the start of this AfD discussion are helpful in this respect) On the subject of notability, I think it is worth stressing that the criteria for journalists has essentially not changed since before 2008. The fact that Bearcat has edited the article three times since then should not lead anyone to conclude that Bearcat is being inconsistent since Bearcat has essentially not been questioning the notability of the subject. In my view, the way forward is to provide reliable sourcing for the article, not to deleted it. Graemp (talk) 10:47, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
The sourcing that has been offered so far, right across the board without a single exception, is
WP:GNG
for being a candidate. It is not coverage of him in the context of his journalism, and thus does not demonstrate that he is "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" as a journalist.
And our inclusion criteria have changed considerably since 2006; back then, people often created articles on journalists whose only source was their staff profile on the website of the television station that they worked for (which was exactly the case here as well, until you started trying to stack it with
notability
in and of itself.
And for the record, I've even supported the deletion of articles where I was actually the original creator under the old 2006-vintage rules (see, frex,
WP:RS coverage hadn't kept up with that evolution — so the fact that I may have edited an article for purely maintenance issues once or twice before does not prove that I'm being hypocritical or inconsistent by looking at it today, in mind of the notability and sourcing standards that govern Wikipedia's content today, and coming to the conclusion that it's just not there.

  • Redirect to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion (with the history preserved under the redirect and without prejudice to anyone undoing the redirect if more information establishing notability has been added). There is not enough coverage of the subject to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

    Rich Farmbrough wrote, "More information being added, and additional info from the National Archive is in the pipeline." A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow Rich Farmbrough to undo the redirect once more information is available and can be added. Preserving the history under the redirect will also allow Rich Farmbrough or any other interested editors to merge material to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. I note that the AfD nominator also supports a redirect.

There appear to be only 5 or 6 mentions of this in the entire Shi'ite literature. And those too are only passing mentions, not in-depth coverage. I am nominating this with the premise that we put a brief mention of this (no more than 3/4 lines) somewhere in the Muhammad-Al-Mahdi article and delete this POV and OR essay.

  • Keep One article consist several part and all these parts are for clearing the subject. Therefore, we can not just write about subject and this is necessary write some introduction. In this article, history section is introduction and another parts are main text. Tawqee is signature of Caliph or rulers on the letter and the article is about Muhammad al-Mahdi's Tawqee. In references of the article, the letters were introduced that Muhammad al-Mahdi signed (for example this one and this). Please pay attention that according to

Update I did a search on Google Scholar which shows a tremendous amount of sources here. The person's technique has been involved in a number of clinical trials. Here is a study [24]. Here is a source which covers him extensively [25], and another source suggest lack of insurance with his technique [26]. Also a third party book [27]. This is clearly not RUNOFTHEMILL. @Delta13C: in light of these sources I ask you to reconsider. Valoem talk contrib 15:07, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again, a google search really doesn't show much. Take those results. Are they reliable sources? Dubious. Do they actually discuss Gonstead in any depth? No. These are almost entirely discussions of the technique he created, with little-to-no biographical detail, on a spotcheck.
WP:ONEEVENT applies. The technique might be validly discussed in an article along the lines of List of chiropractic movements
, but it doesn't appear to have sources sufficient to write a balanced, stand-alone article on itself, let alone on its creator.
If you think there's great sources, link to the sources, not a google search that shows every trivial mention of him, with an unstated assertion that a lot of trivial mentions add up to a useful source.. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:19, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they are, they are secondary reliable sources. I would recommend checking WP:RS, and letting me know what is unreliable about them. Are you aware they are from

From Google Scholar#Limitations and criticism: 'Lack of screening for quality — Google Scholar strives to include as many journals as possible, including predatory journals, which "have polluted the global scientific record with pseudo-science, a record that Google Scholar dutifully and perhaps blindly includes in its central index."' - just appearing in Google Scholar isn't a sign it's a reliable source.

You understand that they are independent as long as he nor his company publishes them. So source with in the chiropractic industry unrelated [to him are independent and reliable for notability.

Please remember that the major problem is
WP:ONEEVENT - if he's only notable for the Gonstead technique, then there's not going to be enough for an article on him. Articles about the technique are not good evidence for him having his own article; at best, they might justify an article on the technique (but that's an argument for elsewhere).

  • Delete - Non-notable college football "rivalry" -- to characterize this series as a traditional CFB rivalry is a huge misnomer. In the early years of the series, after FSU became a co-ed university and started its football program in the late 1940s, Georgia Tech scheduled FSU as a minor opponent to fill its non-SEC (and later, independent) schedule every two or three years. FSU was the proverbial "homecoming opponent," and Georgia Tech dominated the first 8 games with 7 wins and a tie. Since FSU joined the ACC in 1992, FSU has dominated the series 14–3. Circumstances had changed in the intervening years; Tech had waned as a national program, and was only an occasional conference contender, whereas FSU had evolved into a perennial national power and became the immediately dominant team upon joining the ACC. In assessing the "intangibles" that are characteristic of meaningful rivalries, this has not been a particularly competitive series, or one made meaningful by competition for championships, and the players, alumni and fans do not perceive the universities and/or teams to be significant rivals on any level. For FSU, its biggest rivals are Florida, Miami and to a lesser extent, Clemson; Georgia Tech's biggest rival remains Georgia, with ACC rivals Clemson and Virginia Tech far behind. For a sample of alumni and fans' current perceptions of this series as a "rivalry," this survey is instructive: [33]. With 16 games played in the 23 years since FSU joined the ACC in 1992, this series is barely a blip on the "rivalry" radar of either fan base.
Someone will inevitably argue that the best ACC years of this series were the pre-internet 1990s; that's a red herring -- most of that coverage is readily available either online freely or through the major online newspaper archive services. As a modern era in-conference series, this "rivalry" should be held to the highest level of notability scrutiny with truly significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources per the general notability guidelines of
WP:GNG. That kind of consistent significant coverage of this series as a "rivalry" is lacking, and this is a good place to start pruning the bloated category of purported college football "rivalries" that even the respective fans and alumni don't recognize as such.

The consensus was for Delete. Okay... while I feel this topic is notable and improvable

under a different name, and while a desire for WP:SUBSTANTIAL coverage is not a guideline or policy mandate, I concede that others feel differently and that continued discussion with not reach resolution. As closing as no-consensus is a consideration, I'd be okay if anyone wishes to reverse me and re-close in that manner.

The Global Indian Film and TV Honours

The Global Indian Film and TV Honours (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

The award is non-notable as we can't establish if third-party sources even consider it notable. All references seen on web are reports of the event. The article claims that it’s a jury award but does not highlight the process of award selection etc.
The award is presented by

Baa Bahu Aur Baby, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Tere Liye (TV series), Gulaal (TV series), Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? and Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.
Apart from television, BT with its subsidiary Balaji Motion Pictures (BMP) also produces Bollywood films and people associated with following films have been given awards so far which are produced by BMP: Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and The Dirty Picture.
These are all conflict of interest incidences and there might be more which I haven't caught up yet. The main contributors of the article who have been accused of socking and/or doing PR-like work on Wikipedia are: Noormohammed satya, Noor119848, Greatuser, Srajput40 and Noorsatya. Having an article on Wikipedia is surely a large advertisement and with least cost and hence it should be deleted. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:45, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

Other than "Mid-Day (2)", which also is more like an advertisement of Geetanjali Jewels - a sponsor of one event, rest all are trivial mentiones, like Vidya Balan answering a question by the journalist at the event, Ekta Kapoor, owner of all this, mentioning in her quote that Priyanka Chopra dances very well, or in Amitabh Bachchan's articles where "he-also-won-this-award" is the last line of the articles.

From the content of the
list article, I should think both, but with emphasis on the awards events themselves.

Fine to ask, but as nice as the GNG is, it is NOT the only means by which a topic might be found notable. Indeed,
WP:N tells us "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple [less than in depth] independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability", thus that when in-depth coverage is lacking, a number of less-than-in-depth sources can show notability.

Firstly, whatever you are quoting in green is nowhere on Wikipedia:Notability, unless it was removed after you posted and while I looked for it. And even if they wrote such, we are not able to find anything in any number of sources that demonstrate notability. All you find is she wore red, he danced on this song, the producer is going oh-wow, the winner is in cloud nine and all; (Actually you aren't even finding all these in any independent RS.) leave alone any criticism (positive or negative) about the award. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's in a stricter notability criteria about BLP's at

Yes, the notability criterion you quoted comes from guidelines specific to biographies. Why, then, are you quoting it in support of a discussion about an award ceremony? —Psychonaut (talk) 07:31, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I bring it forward because Wikipedia is far more serious about BLPs, not less.... and a guide suitable for a more serious situation can certainly be applied to one that is less so. And too, the giving of awards to living persons IS a BLP issue. Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:25, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but those arguments are simply ridiculous. I think you're grasping at straws here. —Psychonaut (talk) 07:02, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No straw grasping, thank you... just an understanding of guideline, thanks. However, what is "ridiculous" is to say it is ridiculous to apply a BLP guideline toward a BLP situation. Schmidt, Michael Q. 15:56, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But neither are you showing us anything worthy over here or by editing the article. Firstly you had your
WP:RS, and expect that from every well-meaning editor. And then you are back to making generic statements of how its notable and blah blah still without showing any sources. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:39, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete None of the sources provided establish the notability of the award. Just a brief mention does not constitute notability. Any of the above "Keep" arguments does not talk/argue about the notability in itself, forget about the article.
