The Big Defreeze

A album by a band who does not even have a Wikipedia page. Wgolf (talk) 23:21, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The album has had enough reliable reviews and other sources for inclusion of a Wikipedia page. It doesn't need an artist page. 和DITOREtails 23:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Creating more than just a one-line stub would be appreciated. If you're doing the research, why not expand the article some? Just a small assertion of what makes the album notable would be nice. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 18:09, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - for all the multiple reasons documented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jori Chisholm. To relaunch an AfD is a farce and the nominator clearly has an agenda against such articles. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:19, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The reason cited "there are many other pipers in the same position" is hardly a reason for deletion, but I would argue a reason for inclusion of a page for other pipers in the same position. This was mentioned in a previous discussion also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:9980:99:CDD5:AC82:45B3:5213 (talk) 03:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Relaunch of AfD is completely unreasonable, as it betrays a personal vendetta against subject, and ignores subject's many detailed achievements of notability, all of which are given within scope of article; namely, 1) subject is a notable ensemble performer, with Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, with other notable ensemble performances with the Chieftains, and with the Bob Weir group Ratdog, which satisfies
WP:MUSIC criterion #9. Subject is not "marginally notable", but is VERY notable. Please keep article on subject. ~jungstensgericht — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jungstensgericht (talk • contribs) 05:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Keep - Agreeing with the entry above re "there are many other pipers in the same position". There should be many more pipers with pages in wiki, and this performer should be one of them. He is one of the most notable professional pipers in the USA, is highly regarded by many other notable professional pipers from around the world and has made significant contributions to the art.

Contested prod, non notable ceo Wgolf (talk) 21:20, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I put the Prod on. At the time the subject was described as the CEO of a company with no article of its own and with not much else to confer notability. Now he is described as an academic, which might be a slightly better approach, but based on the the article contents I do not believe that he is sufficiently notable in that regard either. A very cursory search does not turn up additional notability. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of funerals

)

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

Cannot make heads or tails of what this list accomplishes or why it's necessary. Notability of most of these entries are questionable, remaining ones may be better served as a category. PROD removed without comment. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:17, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The ways in which lists are superior to categories are detailed at
prod process is only supposed to be used in uncontroversial cases. Andrew D. (talk) 19:24, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply
]

I didn't think the prod would be controversial, thus my usage of it. I am not basing my deletion rationale on the notability of the topic (although a funeral industry publication is probably not the best way to judge notability of a list of funerals in any regard), but rather that the list form does not lend itself to the topic nor is the article able to be limited to truly notable funerals. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is easy to find more coverage of funerals. For example, this source discusses notable Tudor funerals such as those of Queen Elizabeth and
WP:CLN, structural objections to the list format are not policy and so should never be used as the basis for a deletion nomination. Andrew D. (talk) 21:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply
]

It's not really a structural objection, but an objection based on the fact that this isn't really a good way to handle the topic. An article about state funerals is appropriate. An article about an individual funeral may be appropriate. A random list with no real benefit for readers or any sort of standard in place for inclusion or even notability of the individual topics is where the objection lies.

Comment I agree with Thargor Orlando's comments, it is difficult to see what criteria for inclusion have been, or should be applied. Worldwide and throughout history, notable funerals would be an enormous list. If limited by historical period or geographical location or 'area of notability, I could see value. As presently constituted, the list appears random. Would a list of funerals that have their OWN article be a constructive interim measure? Pincrete (talk) 14:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Funeral of Thatcher had an estimated 4.5 million viewing on TV, with about 1 million watching via iPlayer, I cannot see worldwide figures. The funeral of Bal_Thackeray had 1-2 million in attendance, and 15 million watching on TV. The first has its own article, the second was deleted AfD. The second is in this article, the first is not. So I personally do not think having its own article is suitable inclusion criteria. Martin451 00:31, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It might be useful to move this to a slightly more descriptive name, like List of largest funerals. "Largest" is defined within the current article by "based on both the number of attendants and estimated television audience". 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support the last suggestion (or "large"). Purge of any below 10,000 attenders. For pre-TV items N/a is unsatisfactory: is it not available or not applicable. I would suggest the column should say "no TV". This probably applies to Jinnah, as I doubt there was much TV in Pakistan at his death. Peterkingiron (talk) 01:23, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Revolucija (TV show)

)

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

This discontinued Serbian TV programme is largely sourced to promotional material from the presenter/producer himself. A small amount of notable material was already on presenter's main article (Boris Malagurski). There is little reason to believe that independently sourced material will surface now to establish notability. I propose notable material is re-merged with main page and this article be deleted. There seems to be no equivalent article on Serbian Wikipedia. Pincrete (talk) 17:46, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion - Just because a show was discontinued isn't reason enough to delete its article. Neither is the fact that there is no equivalent article on Serbian Wikipedia an argument for deletion. There are reliable sources regarding the TV show, including the Association of Journalists of Serbia, NaDlanu.com, Story.rs, and I just found a few more from The City of Subotica, Nightly News (Večernje novosti), Teleprompter.rs, NSPM.rs (New Serbian political thought), etc. The notability of the show is evident and though it wasn't, of course, popular worldwide, in Serbia it certainly was. --UrbanVillager (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention that I, as the creator of the article in question, wasn't notified on my talk page by Pincrete that the article was nominated for deletion, which is not very nice. --UrbanVillager (talk) 22:48, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A note was left on the Malagurski talk page, specifically in order that ALL connected editors (including yourself), would know about the AfD nomination. Pincrete (talk) 14:22, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "little reason to believe that independently sourced material will surface now"

Surface now? It's been there all along. It received plenty of coverage in main stream press and web outlets in Serbia and also to a lesser extent in Croatia. In addition to the sources listed above there's also Press [5][6],Story, Glas zapadne Srbije, Monitor.hr, Večernje novosti [1], frontal.rs Not to mention the show ran for three seasons on a station with national broadcasting license in Serbia. Fairly straight-forward keep.Zvonko (talk) 06:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I haven't had time to examine ALL the links provided by Zvonko and UrbanVillager, and some are dead to me. The ones I have looked at either do not say anything about 'Revolucija', or are directly promotional comments by the presenter himself,(eg New Serbian political thought simply reproduces the presenter's Facebook page,[[7] with no independent content by NSPM. The 'Nadlanu' source used in the article,[8] simarly uses as its sole source, the presenter's Facebook page).

IF these links provide any substantive, independent RS material about the show or WHY it is notable, I hope that material will be included in the article. Links which simply mention the show existed, or what the presenter said about the show's nature and importance, establish nothing at all. I agree that the absence of articles on Balkan WPs, does not, in itself, mean there should not be an en. article, but it is a little strange. Pincrete (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment Having looked at most of the above 'sources', I see nothing in them but generalised announcements from the presenter or TV company about what the programme aims are + claims from the presenter of having been 'censored', these are almost all sourced to his own Facebook page. If I am wrong, would someone please put into the article the 'wide (independent) coverage' which is claimed. Pincrete (talk) 00:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 'generalised announcements from the presenter '

Not sure what your level of comprehending Serbian is, but it seems it could use a little work if this is your takeaway. Six of the 7 links I posted discuss various specifics of the issues raised either in different episodes of the show as show topics or as controversy raised from the station's programming decisions regarding the show. Those issues being: murder of Brice Taton, HR decision at the state-owned rehab facility in Ivanjica, a previously announced episode of the show being banned, and Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetić's allegations against Serbian finance minister Mlađan Dinkić. Furthermore, each piece specifically references the show when discussing these things. The remaining piece is a fairly in-depth interview with Malagurski about the show. None of the above remotely fits the description of "nothing in them but generalised announcements from the presenter or TV company".Zvonko (talk) 03:56, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understood these reference, however in almost all cases, the claims as to content are pre-showing and are sourced to comments/claims by the presenter or ocassionally the TV company (in several cases using the presenter's Facebook page as source). We have almost NO content from independent RS. The Taton material, adds nothing to what is already said on that film's article and belongs there anyway. Again if I am wrong, please insert this notable material in this article.Pincrete (talk) 11:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Final comment Pincrete, I think it's about time you stopped minimizing everything that has to do with Malagurski and his work. There are articles by the Anticorruption League of the Balkans, the Association of Journalists of Serbia and several mainstream Serbian media outlets attesting to the notability of the TV show. As a matter of fact, it was you who added the "Kostic controversy" regarding this very TV show to the

Revolucija (TV show) article, which you decided to nominate for deletion one day later. Please stop abusing Wikipedia. Strong Keep, per Zvonko and his sources as well. --UrbanVillager (talk) 10:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

Questioning an other editor's motives, does nothing to establish what independent RS material is in these sources. Yes, I did add the 'Kostic' material (from the Association of Journalists of Serbia), as far as I can see, this is the only substantive content which does not trace back to the programme presenter himself.Pincrete (talk) 12:16, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This bill got scant attention in technology circles, but does not appear to have even made it to a committee vote, let alone get to the floor of any chamber of the United States government. As the bill was proposed over 8 years ago, it is no longer pending or relevant, and there is no obvious place to merge the minimal relevant information in the article (an article that reads more like a term paper on intellectual property and law than an encyclopedia article on the topic). For those reasons, deletion seems to be the most prudent option. Thargor Orlando (talk) 16:55, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like a pile of OR. Most of the citations appear to be describing the specific things the article claims are linked to its subject, rather than actually making that link. In fact as far as I can tell only one of the references is actually about the article topic, and that's a link to the bill itself, hardly a reliable source for asserting notability. —Nizolan ^(talk) 10:33, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An editor tagged this article for speedy deletion as vandalism. I declined the tag as it obviously wasn't vandalism. However, the editor intended to tag it as a hoax. Given that the article itself states that it is an obscure bay, that makes it harder to determine whether it exists and there's litle about it or whether it doesn't exist at all. Doing Google searches all I've found are clones of the article. If it is a hoax, it should obviously be deleted. However, even if not, if it has no notability, it should also be deleted, although I recognize that many editors at Wikipedia don't like to delete any place articles.

Comment Well, yes, but there's a old rule in book reviewing, that a reviewer should always review the book he's been given and never complain that it should have been a book about something else. I think we should do the same here. The author wanted this to be an article about privatization and the water shutoffs, so that's what we should evaluate. There is an abundance of sources about this, like these from papers like the NYT, WSJ, The Guardian, and the Detroit Free Press:

[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]

Unsourced list of people with unclear inclusion criteria. While a handful seem notable for their writings on chess, it's unclear where writing about chess stops and being a "chess historian" begins.

Yes, but what is this coverage exactly? Is it related solely to her participating in the pageant and failing to place? That is not normally considered sufficient for notability. If all she is notable for is failing to win beauty pageants, how does that make her notable? (Of course if the coverage is also related to her acting career, then that would help.) Mabalu (talk) 00:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no policy based reason for excluding coverage of failed pageant entries. That is your personal opinion only. Our notability guidelines say coverage=notability, not accomplishments=notability. And she was first runner-up, so its not like she was just some random contestant. That said, she also writes regularly for the Inquirer, e.g. [21].

The discussions about American beauty pageant contestants are mostly headed toward keep. Wurtzbach has more coverage than almost all of them. It sure feels like systematic bias is at play here. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:05, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. Not sure what you implied with that closing statement, but I'm sure it wasn't nice. As far as I can tell we've never considered runner-ups notable unless they have other reasons to be notable - any contestant will get "coverage" simply by being mentioned in coverage of these shows, but it's hardly significant coverage. By this reasoning I think you're suggesting that anybody who gets regularly mentioned in a national newspaper's society column as being seen at parties or social events would be considered Wikipedia-article-worthy? Blimey, by that reasoning, /I/ would deserve a Wikipedia article of my own, because I've had ongoing multiple mentions in newspapers/magazines/other media since the 1980s, but I'm pretty sure that the fact no straight man would want to see me in a bikini makes me non-notable. ;) Mabalu (talk) 23:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Um, nothing was implied other than exactly what the term means, see

definition of notability is "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources". There is nothing in the guideline about judging the reason for said coverage. Finally, you are confusing "mentioned" with "has significant coverage". When someone is mentioned in an article about another subject, that doesn't count for notability. When the article is about them, they do. Here, if Wurtzbach was merely mentioned in articles about the pageant then you'd be current that they confer no notability. However, what we actually have is many article about her that mention the pageant. That does convey notability. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:06, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Keep There are lots of facts that are not at the moment to be found in the article itself but can easily be retrieved from other sources and which show that there is more relevance than "meets the eye" at the moment. First of all: as can be seen in the corresponding article on svwp the list of ambassadors could be drawn back at least to the mid-18th century. Secondly: the 1960s building mentioned in the present article and in this link is only a part of the embassy (used by the administration). There is also the main residence of the ambassador, which is a building from 1896, bought by the Swedish state in 1922; see this link (which also points out that there has been diplomatic relations between Sweden and Italy since the 15th century, making this embassy (as an institution) Sweden's oldest). /FredrikT (talk) 09:13, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As an older book the reviews available online may be a little lacking, but there seems to be little doubt that it had an impact judging by the number of citations. A look on Google Scholar shows 241 citations. Studies/analyses have been conducted based on this book, for example, The Conway and Siegelman claims against religious cults: An assessment of their data published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. In Deprogramming, brainwashing and the medicalization of deviant religious groups, the authors talk about the book being "their widely read Snapping: America's Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change...". Talked about directly (more than a brief mention, more than just a citation) in a whole lot of papers and books like Religion in America since 1945: A History (Columbia University Press via Questia), Social Theory and Social Policy: Essays in Honor of James S. Coleman (Praeger via Questia), many times in Teaching New Religious Movements (Oxford University Press via Questia), Bill Bright & Campus Crusade for Christ: The Renewal of Evangelicalism in Postwar America (University of North Carolina Press via Questia), Brief Treatments for the Traumatized: A Project of the Green Cross Foundation (Greenwood Press via Questia), New Religions as Global Cultures: Making the Human Sacred (Westview Press via Questia), The Domestic Assault of Women: Psychological and Criminal Justice Perspectives (University of British Columbia Press via Questia), New Religious Movements in the United States and Canada: A Critical Assessment and Annotated Bibliography (Greenwood Press via Questia), The Oxford Handbook of New Religious Movements (Oxford University Press via Questia)..... I still have about a dozen tabs open but will stop there as I know it's annoying to have a pile of paywalled links (published provided for each to crossreference elsewhere -- and to show that these are good sources). Seems like it easily passes notability standards. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 07:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I caution reliance on the Google Scholar citation count. For example, the list above includes The Conway and Siegelman claims against religious cults: An assessment of their data. The relevant passage in that article is "...In one of the most read and widely-cited articles of this latter type, Conway and Siegelman (1982), the authors of Snapping: America's Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change (1979), claim..." which is not about the book in question here, but rather about a 1982 article. In general, this field is pretty fringe and one finds a large number of reprints, compilations, "encyclopedias", etc. all citing each other. --

From Library Journal:
In this expanded edition of the 1978 original, Conway and Siegelman continue their study of the altering of the American psyche, which has led to the rise of religious cults, super Christian sects, private citizen militias, and other phenomena that dominate today's headlines. Probably more timely now than when first published, this is an important title for academic and public libraries.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Scientific American:
Explores the way cults and other factors are causing people to give themselves over to those like David Koresh of Waco infamy, or becoming walking time bombs like Timothy McVeigh, the alleged perpetrator of the Oklahoma bombing...a powerful look at a social phenomenon that is making headlines.

From The New Yorker:
Their book is judicious, sensible, well-researched and very frightening.

"Snapping" is an exciting and responsible and original piece of research which has taught this old poop amazing new ways to think about the human mind. -- Kurt Vonnegut

Classic returns....More timely now than when first published....An important title for academic and public libraries. -- Library Journal

Conway and Siegelman are onto something important..."Snapping" is a fascinating book with frightening implications. -- Edward T. Hall, author of "The Silent Language"

Conway and Siegelman deliver a powerful book and an amazing yet responsible look at the inner workings of the human mind. -- The Examined Life: A Psychology Newsletter

In a prophetic vein again...."Snapping" is not only fascinating and frightening reading, it is also extremely well-written....The escalating pattern of cult fanaticism and religious-political terror that the authors call a "death spiral" seems to be widening. If we do nothing to understand and ultimately reverse that pattern, it will pull more and more innocent people into its vortex. -- Cleveland Jewish News

It is a book of investigative reporting at its best. -- New York Post

What Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, Conway and Siegelman may well be to the cults. -- United Press International

What are the social links between cultists, born-again converts, and political extremists? There are closer connections than one might think, and this labels the alteration of personality which has become an American norm, examining how mind-altering practices change the brain's information processing system. Intriguing examples of cult extremes accompany the authors' contentions. -- Midwest Book Review

There is sufficient coverage in
reliable sources to allow Snapping: America's Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Keep - Please keep. I will try to improve the article by citing texts that define terms correctly and adding citations and reliable sources. SNAPPING is now a classic reference book on this subject matter and time period. The book has been used as a reference for many articles, dissertations, MA theses and research projects in many fields including religion, psychology, medicine, and newer fields actually dealing with deprogramming and the distinctions made regarding the technologies of "information overload", "brainwashing" -- "snapping" and the "epidemic" of cult phenomena, and now there may even be possible current sub-categories that deal with this "disease" / phenomena within politics, multilevel marketing, social media, etc. The fact that users search wiki to FIND "anything" wiki has on this book as a reference for others is a sign that Wiki is a viable source and so it is important for wiki to keep the book. I agree that the article needs work but I will need time to get and link the right sources, etc. Again, in terms of its "classic" status as a reference, this book seems to stand on its own merits and the original research of its authors apart from any other books they may have authored.Startarrant (talk) 15:46, 11 February 2015 (UTC)startarrant[reply]

It is ignorant to say that these small quotes are all blurbs. There are a few blurbs above (like the ones cited to people rather than actual newspaper or magazine publications). But the overwhelming majority are reviews from newspaper or magazine publications, which do not write promotional blurbs for books.
Those reviews strongly support Rhododendrites (talk · contribs)'s assertion that "As an older book the reviews available online may be a little lacking, but there seems to be little doubt that it had an impact judging by the number of citations."

I checked Google, and I didn't find much beyond a few school sites posting the rules. I'm not convinced it has enough notability for an article. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:00, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless something more is shown in terms of notability. There are many games played in school PE departments that don't get articles - I can't see one on Coastguards and Pirates (which definitely makes use of a very wide range of muscles and agility...). At present, there's too much reliance on two sites in the referencing, and I've put a 'citation needed' on the claim to being world-wide. Peridon (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being the mayor of a small US town does not satisfy

WP:NPOL. Prod was disputed; other than being a small town mayor/sheriff, only other claim to fame is being mentioned in a 1925 encyclopedia of Louisiana OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 10:13, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

Keep. He is in the Henry E. Chambers 1925 History of Louisiana with his own biography. A History of Louisiana, (vol. 2), pp. 245-246, by Henry E. Chambers. Published by The American Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York, 1925. This alone should meet notability concerns. That is a major work of pre-1925 Louisiana history. There is no restriction listed in the Wikipedia guidelines in regard to mayors and the population of their cities. Nor are sheriffs specifically mentioned. City council members are not mentioned; there are twelve articles on city council members for Bangor, Maine, a city of 33,000, much smaller than Rapides Parish, Louisiana, of which Mr. Downs was sheriff but larger than Pineville, where he was mayor prior to being sheriff. I found two out-of-state newspapers with articles on U. T. Downs. There won't be much else on the Internet about him since he died in 1941. Billy Hathorn (talk) 12:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment From

WP:NPOL: Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[11] This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. I fail to see how a small town mayor or sheriff would meet that guideline. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

Comment It also says "local politicians" can be covered with significant news coverage. The Chamber history should alone meet the notability test. Bangor, Maine has twelve city council members and eight mayors. So if a mayor/sheriff does not qualify, how does a city council member in Bangor, Maine, qualify? Billy Hathorn (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2015 (UTC)A "local politician" should cover a mayor or a sheriff, or in this case, one who held both offices.Billy Hathorn (talk) 01:27, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note it does say that he's won some Emmys, but I'm having some slight trouble actually finding anything to back this up. His IMDb doesn't say anything about that and while the site will sometimes not have every award on there, the Emmys are one of the more major American awards out there. Even when they're regional they tend to be listed.

Lukas Magyar is the lead vocalist of the band who's had a major influence and in some eyes, is the reason, for the entire Djent metal scene. He's been highly controversial among the fans and a major topic in metal sources and the blogosphere. He's without a doubt having an impact on the this scene of music and plays an important and crucial role in the telling of the Dent metal scene story.

Wrong. He was speculated in November and confirmed January 1, 2015. If he fell of the earth tomorrow, his impression on the djent scene has been profound.

Lukas did not create this page. I did. I have no past relationship with him other than meeting him briefly last year. I am working on laying down the foundry for a project I am putting together on the Djent scene. My intention was to build and create Wiki pages for guys like Spencer Sotelo, Marc Ocubo and Tosin Abasi who've all had major influences or helped trail blaze this style of metal. Reason for beginning with Lukas is I began my research back in September with Veil of Maya when the VOM story got increasingly interesting. Lukas, was the center of it. This is likely TMI, but to be fair to him and the band, I just wanted to clear his name of any wrong doing. I've already relocated the content on Lukas to the Veil of Maya page. Would anyone like to do me the courtesy of telling me whether or not the names listed above are WIKI worthy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by YorkMayo (talk • contribs) 15:22, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It seems I've already created my first Wiki mistake. How do we delete this page? Could someone please inform me on the people listed above?

Keep. WP:N requires that article topics be notable, not exceptionally notable, so the nomination does not appear to advance a valid rationale for deletion. Multiple papers with 100+ cites is notability in any field. I suspect that a GS h-index of 14 will also satisfy criteria 1 of WP:PROF in this field. Law is apparently a very low citation field for academics. According to LSE, the average h-index of a (full) law professor (2.8) is the lowest of any of the social sciences, significantly less than the average across all such disciplines (4.9), and far below the number suggested by Hirsch for a (full) professor of physics (18).

List of United States political party platforms

This article consists of the full text of various

WP:NOTREPOSITORY states that Wikipedia articles are not merely "collections of ... public domain or other source material such as ... original historical documents". Such content may be appropriate on Wikisource, but not on Wikipedia. See also the guideline Wikipedia:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources. These are indeed lengthy primary sources. I would not object to these platforms being transwikied to Wikisource, but it should be considered whether some of them may be subject to copyright and thus should not be placed on Wikisource. (I take no position on whether that should prevent the transwikiing of any of the platforms, but I just wanted to raise it as an issue.) However, I recommend that this article be deleted from Wikipedia. Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:17, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

It's been a bloody long time since I created that article and, since concentrating on collecting data for American Third Parties and their Electoral Performances, I've been distracted and finally entirely forgot about it. I have never been totally clear with Wikipedia's guidelines regarding what can be placed where so, if it would be better that this material be transferred to Wikisource, which I frankly have never heard of prior, then it should be done. The section was merely meant as a repository for Political Party Platforms after I was told to cut down their size on Presidential Election pages in favor of a summary, with the eventual option to link directly to the platform itself within the Wikipedia system. Predictably not all of the Parties had access to their platforms online, and a number of them required me to type them up directly from texts such as the Union Party, the Anti-Imperialist League, the People's Party, the Farmer-Labor Party, and so on. I would ultimately then recommend at the very least a move of those entries not accessible online to Wikisource, should the page(s) in question be deleted, if not all the entries. --Ariostos (talk) 02:07, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it is also a repository of party platforms which are primary sources:

I haven't found any other American political parties which have separate lists of their political platforms on Wikipedia pages in this format; List of the political platforms of the Republican Party of the United States does not exist, for example. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:22, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and fix. No reason this can't be created into an article. It is a noted thing in many countries that major cities are removed from the local/state government and come directly under federal or state government. It needs referencing yes. And the proposed redirects make no sense anyway. Also see

Independent cities of Germany and Category:Independent cities. The article name is not good however, a better term that is more common needs to be found. Also don't confuse with Autonomous city. If you want usage of the term, see [31], [32], [33], [34], [35]. JT_dale^Talk~ 06:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Well, then, if it's only a US thing merge Independent city (United States) into this article and turn it into a US focused article. I will note, the Chinese ones are called independent cities by the western media (I provided a link that does just that). JT_dale^Talk~ 23:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Independent city (United States) into this article sounds fine to me, but mixing the US concept with cities of other countries is a bad idea. If we applied the US definition of independent city (cities that do not belong to any county) to China, for example, then every Chinese city would be an independent city, because all Chinese cities are at levels equal or above counties. See Administrative divisions of China. -Zanhe (talk) 06:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - the article has several flaws as mentioned (fuzzy scope and definition, lack of sources, unclear structure). But it could provide a first good overview over the various types of independent (and "sort of independent") cities. It's certainly a valid encyclopedic topic. GermanJoe (talk) 20:20, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid your argument is not based on policy.

original research. The vague concept of "sort of independent" cities is best handled in the disambiguation page Independent city (disambiguation), not a full-blown article composed of nothing but unreferenced OR. -Zanhe (talk) 06:48, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as international phenomenon

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

This seems to be an excessive split from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and largely states the obvious e.g. the Adams books were published and broadcast in a large number of countries (this could be summed up in a couple of sentences in the main article). Overall this seems to be a rambling, unsourced, over-detailed fan page, cited only to the books themselves. At best I'd say there should be a selective merger to the main article.

self-published sources

. Left is

One source is not about subject but briefly mentions him as a producer.([36])
Two sources from 2006 mentions the non-notable band Lotus Lullaby subject performed in: one of these does not mention subject,([37]) the other is not about the band or the subject and only mentions the band and subject briefly.([38])
One source is a short article about subject's music on the non-notable website Nerd Like You. Here everybody can submit an article if "you have a nerdy passion and you are able to string a fairly decent sentence together",([39]) and although the writer, Tom Hoover,([40]) is a regular and self-described "nerd and aspiring multimedia artist [who] enjoys watching bad movies and playing retro video games", nothing here gives the impression of a reliable source. The writer is not a journalist, and the site has no record of fact checking.
One source is a 11 minute interview done by WGTB, a student-run internet radio station at Georgetown University.([41])
One source is a review of his 2014 record Vistas on the website Sputnik Music. Again much like Nerd Like You above, this is a community run site, and the reviewer is not a journalist.
The one reliable source used as a reference, Billboard, quotes subject regarding an incidence with Youtube and copyright, but is not about subject.

Sony Professional Solutions

Contested PROD. Unnecessary content fork. This can be included on the main Sony article. Lack of independent 3rd party references too JMHamo (talk) 15:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article describes a significant subsidiary of
Sony Broadcast & Professional Research Laboratories, which only consists of solely 3 lines. This article is a) by far not completed and b) already more detailed than the Research Laboratories article. Moreover, SPS is one of the world's leaders in broadcasting, invented 4k technology, and was the first organisation to produce a 3D OB Unit. In terms of merging it into Sony: The article Sony is very long and therefore it wouldn't be appropriate to add all information about SPS in that page, whereas it can be done in this article. For all these reasons, I believe this is significant enough for the page to remain. Muffingg (talk) 15:16, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Comment – I am not going to !vote or do any research here because I have a COI, but this is an important company. They (and now Panasonic) are the leading suppliers of equipment to the broadcast news industry, often because they invented it. For example, the official sites in our articles on Betacam and XDCAM are this company. To find 3rd-party sources, it might be better to search simply for "Sony Professional". That will get hits for the equipment that shoots what you see on the news on TV. About merging to Sony, that could be done, but within Sony it's a different division and a different class of products. The ones in Sony are the ones that are familiar to consumers. –– Margin1522 (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nomination does not advance a valid rationale for deletion. This article does not fall under any of the criteria of INDISCRIMATE as it not a plot summary, lyrics database, listing of statistics or log of software updates. Nor does it contain anything remotely similar. In England, the publication of sound recordings or photography of legal proceedings is certainly significant as (in the absence of leave) it is respectively punishable as contempt of court under section 9(1)(b) of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 and as an offence under section 41(1)(b) of the Criminal Justice Act 1925 (as amended in either case by sections 31 and 32 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 and excluded by orders made under section 32).

It is format and tool(s) to manipulate the format analogy... Each of this particular pair is notable (not that there is a rule for that, just in the world of Matroska, if you decide that MKV is important then MKVToolNix is important, even if you never use it). The second issue was incorporation of the tool description into the format description, so if you look at ODF, PDF, etc. not only at MKV you will realize that it makes sense to have articles for tools separate from articles for formats.

There are certainly issues with content that need to be corrected (i.e. make it less of an advertisement) but I don't see that as grounds for deletion -- just grounds for fixing the article. Merge into the main Matroska article, or delete and add a section in that article about MKVToolNix. I hate the deletionist attitude towards non-notable articles, but honestly, the only people who'll even be looking up MKVToolNix on here are people who already know the software and just want to see what Wikipedia has to say about it. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 17:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Being that the only two sources in the article are both dead links, and ostensibly were primary sources, I'm not sure what you see to be the reliable sources here.

I provided at least one link, and the university itself, although secondary, is a reliable source. There also appears to be several other defunct newspaper publications, that would be worth mentioning in the student life section.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:42, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We could also write about their cheerleading team, which will have similar coverage. The idea is that it has as much coverage as many other student orgs and what those all have in common is a dearth of secondary (non-affiliated) source coverage—in short, that they were both too inconsequential for outside coverage and for mention in the article. And I don't see a good reason to forgo that. That's all I have to add on this point. czar

Keep - We need to treat newspapers with kid gloves: a comprehensive encyclopedia needs comprehensive coverage of them. HERE is an article from the Stony Brook Statesman from 2008, "Stony Brook Republicans Hide Political Support," dealing in some significant measure with The Patriot as a conservative organizing center at the university. THIS is coverage of the launch of The Patriot by the Stony Brook Independent, the official campus newspaper. A SHORT BIT listing The Patriot at Snipview's "Student newspapers published in New York." That's the result of a quick Google. There is sufficient material out there for a GNG pass, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 13:13, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why student newspapers need to be treated with kid gloves as if they get some exemption from the current notability guidelines, but just to confirm, you're saying that coverage in two other student newspapers (the Statesman and the Independent) and a snippet on Snipview ("the illustrated magazine anybody can edit", that is actually just a verbatim copy of the WP page) together constitute significant coverage?

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review

The result was delete all. The strongest policy backed arguments have been made by the deletion side in this debate. Whether these countries have relations or not is not what is in question, instead it is whether those relations are proven to be notable. Those asking for the articles to be preserved have failed to provide evidence of notability, through reliable sources, where these diplomatic "relations" have actually been covered. Original research done via synthesis of events (whether sourced or not) is not permissible. Therefore, as that is all that has been presented by those asking for these articles' retention, the consensus (while not shown in numbers, as this is not a vote) is for these articles to be deleted - in accordance with policy. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 01:34, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all all of these articles should be kept according to the general notability guidelines. There are already quite a few references in Azerbaijan–Bangladesh relations, Bangladesh–Ivory Coast relations and Bangladesh–Jordan relations. Though Bangladesh–Italy relations and Bangladesh–France relations are unreferenced now but they are notable topics because Bangladesh has bilateral trade relations worth more than $1 billion with each of the two countries(Italy, France).

Comment - I'd encourage participants to actually read the sources put forward by Nomian in each of these articles, rather than simply taking them on face-value. I'm all for
WP:AGF but as this AFD and the blind reverts demonstrate, many of the "sources" used to create these articles are actually primary sources, press releases and duplicates thereof.

Note to closing admin and other voters User:Stalwart111 has been repeatedly removing the sources and blanking the articles Azerbaijan–Bangladesh relations, Bangladesh–Ivory Coast relations and Bangladesh–Jordan relations just because the sources became dead links but they should know that according to WP:Link rot sources cannot be removed even if they are dead.

Countries like France and Italy have size-able Bangladeshi populations. France, as member of the Security Council, played a major role at the time of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

Comment Arguments "at weight", such as "Bangladesh - X trade for more that Y billions of dollars per year" or "there are Z millions emigrants from X to Bangladesh" are in my view pointless to demonstrate notability. Such facts are likely indicators of strong bilateral relations, but no proof of notability of such relations.

I am not confused, sources like Relations with Iceland to be strengthened, Iceland wants to import ships from Bangladesh are indeed significant coverage of the relationship, not an event. The visit by the Icelandic President to Bangladesh is a major breakthrough in this bilateral relationship. Obviously relations between two countries often comes in the limelight when a head of state pays an official visit but there are also other references which are not related to the visit by the Icelandic President. And violation of original research will be when someone would try to impose their own set of criteria to assess the notability of an article, ridiculing the general notability guidelines.

Original research is when an editor includes information which are not supported by the sources, when did I do that? Or when did I "assert the opposite of what the source says"? I would consider such false accusations as personal attacks. Now about the significant coverage thing, are you really saying that sources covering the top level leaders of the two countries discussing about strengthening the relationship, common interests or enhancing the bilateral trade are just one line passing mentions? Seriously Stalwart, even after interacting with you in the countless AfDs, I don't think I will ever understand your logic.

No,

verification. Often, original research is partially supported by sources but the conclusion drawn is something else. That is the case here. Authors have taken sources about one-off visits and extrapolated that (which is the original research) to suggest a broader diplomatic relationship. It's like suggesting two people have "relations" because they once went on a date (years ago) and haven't seen each other since.

"We're dealing with relations between states, not starving people." I'm always astonished at the number of people who respond to analogies in this way. Yes, the nature of an analogy is to compare something to something else. An analogy that compares a thing to itself isn't an effective one.

The point, as my analogy makes clear, is that from the premise "A and B have the same interest", whether A and B are individuals, communities, countries, ethnic groups, sufferers of two different diseases, or anything else, that A and B are even aware of each other's existence is not a valid conclusion, let alone that they have any relationship, let alone that they have a significant one.

Bangladesh has 156 million people, give or take — more than Russia, not many short of Pakistan. Although we in the west are not accustomed to think of this as a large country, it is, and its foreign relations are an area of specialized academic study. The Foreign relations of Bangladesh page is lengthy and gets sunk in detail, splitting off country by country makes organizational sense. It does create esoteric and seemingly non-sensical pages like this one, but Wikipedia Is Not Paper, after all, and that decision was a matter of editorial judgment. Carrite (talk) 17:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the population of Bangladesh does not give it a free pass for bilateral articles. Do you have evidence of significant coverage of ongoing relationship? LibStar (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the article says one thing that's about the actual relationship between the two countries, why can't that sentence be in the corresponding cell in the table on the main Bangladesh foreign relations page, representing the sum and substance of what there seems to be to be said right now about relations between the two countries and have no link there at all? —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:17, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The first four are newspapers and IrishCentral, which may be more RS than the others. The others are a mix of RS news sites and religious, pro-life, and pro-choice sites, but they all discuss the organization – either the number of its members (pro-life sites) or its tactics (pro-choice sites). I would note that being poorly written is not a valid reason for deletion. Being POV is a valid reason, but only when it can't be corrected. I would say that in this case it could be corrected, given all of the information in these cites about its aggressive tactics, which have been called harassment and intimidation. – Margin1522 (talk) 16:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It's possible the leader is notable, but notability is
not inherited. I'm yet to see sufficient reliable sources talking about the subject of the article in a significant way. In fact the name of the organization doesn't even appear in most of the sources it currently cites. The article looks to just be a series of opinions held by the group about abortion-related news and events.

Weak delete. While not every source frames the issue as "Smyth does stuff, by the way, her group is called Precious Life", I'm inclined to agree with Rhododentries that if there is any notability here, it attaches to Smyth. If the article were better I'd suggest keeping it and reworking it into an article on Smyth, but currently nearly the whole article consists of their statements (from articles on abortion rights developments), not their actions and tactics, so might as well TNT and start over. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:28, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I'm rather dubious of the idea that we need to distinguish between the group and the group's leader and spokesperson. If Smyth is notable it's because she's the leader of the activists who are circulating petitions and camping out in front of the clinic every day ~~with their gruesome pictures~~. Granted, a lot of the publicity is from her trial for harassment. But that incident took place as part of a larger demonstration by the group~~, who were heckling and harassing people entering and leaving the clinic, in one case chasing them down the street~~. If Smyth were just another private individual ~~who thinks that abortion clinics in the US are run by Jews and the Mafia (casual remark in one of the sources I listed above),~~ with pro-life views, nobody would care. She's notable because the group is. (Edited for NPOV. Sorry.) – Margin1522 (talk) 14:18, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with nominator. I have looked into some of the sources and started to try to clean up the article. However there is no indication of notability except for the climbing of Everest, and being the first civil servant in his department to do so. Which really, unfortunately is not that notable any more, unless it truly is a first, such as when the first blind man climbed it. So many people have now climbed Everest that a specific civil servant climbing it is not notable.VViking_TalkEdits 01:22, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the other editors who have posted here. I came across this article and noticed it needed manual of style cleanup, so going through the article and fixing the headers, and spacing, etc., I read through the text and while there might be some notability, I can't see how it would meet notability guidelines for an encyclopedia article. Yes, there are all kinds of references, but we don't know what in the text they are sourcing as they are all added in a general sense at the bottom, plus many of them are blogs and social networking sites which don't meet reliable source guidelines. Reading through the article, I get the sense that's it's more promotional than encyclopedic, and if we were to take out all the promo aspects, fluff and unreliable references, I don't think we would be left with much of an article.

Extremely weak keep That there are major promotional and verification issues in this article is obvious, and the vast majority of sources cited within it are either not independent or secondary (and thus not useful for establishing
reliable sources for use on Wikipedia in general. Those sources and the many (often dubious or not terribly encyclopedic) claims which they support should be removed. All of that being said, there remains a small core of useful and acceptable sources which do establish a level of notability sufficient to support the article. But good luck to whoever has to wrangle the content into consistency with our policies. Snow talk 00:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply
]

Which elements do you find notable? If they have their own article already, moving the details into the other article would be preferable to keeping an entire article on Bonta. There are already articles on the 2suit and quantum fiction, for example, and they go into lavish detail about Bonta's involvement. BenedictineMalediction (talk) 18:32, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That might be a viable solution, but for the fact that a couple of the small selection of viable sources do address her written works. For the record, here are the sources which I think pass muster as reliable sources (as of the current version): 2, 4, 5, 10, 30, 31, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, 66, and 80. The rest of the sources all fail
WP:Verification
standards (usually by a solid mile), for reasons ranging from the fact that the source is not a viable references on Wikipedia under any circumstances (about two-thirds of the list), the source in question is a primary one and not independent of the subject or the claim being made, the source is utilized in editorial synthesis to express original thought, and a number of other obvious shortcomings.

I'm more than a little bothered by the fact that, with 95 references listed on that article, less than 20 of them are acceptable sources, while the sources are themselves in-lined in a technically proficient manner; this seems to strongly suggest to me that whoever added all of this content must have had significant enough experience with Wikipedia to know that the remaining sources do not meet the standards of our policies, but decided to add them anyway in any attempt to make the subject's notability "unimpeachable". This seems in keeping with the comments that are being added here about previous gaming, sock-puppetry and general bad-faith tactics in the previous creation (and deletion discussions) surrounding this article.

But when it comes down to it, I can't depart from the notion that nearly 20 sources do exist and seem to meet the minimal standards for notability here. I do think the article needs to be stripped down that small fraction of its present claims that are actually verifiable, and anyone adding content in blatant violation of our policies or while evading previous blocks on the matter needs to be dealt with via SPI and/or ANI. Snow talk 11:27, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of the references you listed, I agree that 2, 4, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, and 66 are notable, and 40-44 are notable but need trimming.
5: It's doubtful that the Contemporary Authors team did independent research to compile Bonta's biography. It's more likely that they printed whatever she or her PR agent supplied them.

10: Very fluffy, with numerous unsupported claims whose sole source is Bonta.

30: Are interviews considered reliable, independent sources?

31: Bonta has one paragraph, which the index says is on pp. 235-6. (https://books.google.com/books?id=Vx3BBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT156&lpg=PT156&dq=brief+guide+to+star+trek+vanna+bonta&source=bl&ots=I_hgYKtEVH&sig=AFbPQqZ53MaSCCuovPRM-Mnb9CI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ATbSVOH3IYarNoHOgdAK&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=vanna%20bonta&f=false) It briefly describes the plot of the rejected episode she wrote.

38 doesn't mention Bonta. It's a book by an unassociated scholar on a topic that Bonta also covers.

80: The description of the video doesn't mention Bonta. This link was probably added to add weight to the discussion of Bonta's theoretical "smart clothing" inventions.

The claims the notable references support are: that Bonta wrote a novel of questionable notability; that she gave a talk about the 2suit, which the History Channel later fabricated and featured as a segment on a TV episode about sex in space; and she was one of the top 5 winners of a haiku contest. She has enough references to support notability, but not enough achievements. BenedictineMalediction (talk) 15:38, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Judging her achievements (through the lens of secondary sources) might make sense in a notability discussion based on
WP:significant coverage does not apply in this case -- after-all, GNG itself notes that there is not an absolute link between significant coverage and being an appropriate subject of an article, only a very strong one -- but it needs to be predicated on arguments that are not at all based on subjective assessments as the importance of the subject's accomplishments. Snow talk 16:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

This is, in fact, a notability discussion based on
WP:BIO

In any case, I doubt the sources amount to "significant coverage." One short but notable review and one dubiously notable foreign-language review; five references to her winning the MAVEN haiku contest, most of which are short filler pieces that don't go into depth about her, and which are routine coverage of a low-importance contest. She did get significant coverage for her appearance on the History Channel documentary, I admit. However, that appearance doesn't establish her as an inventor of any importance, and the coverage can be rolled into the 2suit page without removing any facts of encyclopedic importance from Wikipedia. BenedictineMalediction (talk) 19:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as to the first point, see
WP:GNG
. And as to the second point, we're not meant to be using our own subjective criteria as to whether or not her accomplishments are important and worth discussing; as with all other such matters we take our ques from the sources on that. And while I appreciate that there is some nuance necessary to parse this case in establishing the depth with which sources actually treat her, I still don't see how she could be said to be failing GNG as typically a single acceptable source or two is viewed as sufficient argument against deletion and here we have more than a dozen reliable sources at the least, several of which address aspects of her creative career and cannot be rolled into existing articles -- and even if they could, she would still probably qualify for her own article.

Look, I'm not super happy about it myself; is this the most encyclopedic subject in the world? No, certainly not. But I know a
WP:SNOW
argument when I see one and I don't see how inclusion can be opposed here on grounds of notability guidelines. Forgive the unsolicited assessment here but it seems like maybe in having had to work hard against bad-faith/promotional behaviour by single-purpose accounts in the past on this subject, you've been forced to move a little too much to the opposite extreme, such that now that a dozen sources are provided which discuss the subject to varying degrees, it still seems insufficient. But I think it's going to meet most editors standards.

But if you are still opposed to the content staying, can I suggest an alternate approach? I know it entails a lot of work that you shouldn't have to take upon yourself, but I think the only thing that might give us a more certain picture of whether or not the subject should stay is to go through and pull out all the material in the article that is not adequately sourced. If socks there oppose these changes on non-policy-consistent grounds, then RfC the matter and/or take it to SPI/ANI/3RR. I know that's a lot of work to propose when you feel it would be so much simpler to just delete the whole mess now and save the extra steps, but I don't see the vote going that way this time. But if the article is reduced to the 1/9 of it's current content that is actually supported by sources, we might have a better idea of whether or not it reasonable to keep it. And even if it is kept, you will have removed the bulk of the inappropriate content. And I imagine from some of the comments here and the previous AfDs that you wouldn't have to do the work alone. Anyway, that's about the extent of my two cents on this topic. Snow talk 02:54, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've outlined--twice--what the article would consist of if only the reliably sourced information were left. Why do you need to see the entire article whittled down by someone else before you can make a judgement?

For the third time:

She self-published a book.

She won a non-notable haiku contest.

She invented the 2suit and appeared on the History Channel wearing it.

Based on these three accomplishments, does Bonta merit inclusion?

You keep arguing that the 13 reliable references are enough to establish her notability, then you turn around and say that if the unsourced information were removed, mmmmaybe she wouldn't merit inclusion. Which is it? Is 13 articles enough to guarantee notability, regardless of topic, or does the topic actually matter?

You say "we're not meant to be using our own subjective criteria as to whether or not her accomplishments are important and worth discussing," but you also reject the idea of applying the guidelines established to add some objectivity--
WP:GNG
, although there's no official definition of "significant coverage," and you yourself admit that there's doubt about the depth of her coverage. You're clinging to the fact that she has 13 sources, and refusing to look at what those 13 sources say.

If it makes you feel better, there's this guideline: "If, however, there is only enough information about one notable event related to the person, then the article should be titled specifically about that event". Bonta's invention of the 2suit received enough coverage that even though I think it's a slightly less important invention than the rubber-band gun, my cold, dead heart will thaw enough to admit that the coverage is significant. As it's the only Bonta-related topic with enough notability and enough coverage to meet Wikipedia guidelines, the coverage can be rolled into the 2suit article, along with whatever verifiable Bonta-related facts are relevant to the invention of the 2suit. And then we don't have to gut this article down to Bonta's three verifiable accomplishments and argue, yet again, over the notability of someone that you yourself have doubts about. BenedictineMalediction (talk) 15:46, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've completely misinterpreted my comments here. First off, I'm not "clinging" to anything; I've made it pretty clear that I'm not an advocate for this content nor a particularly big fan. I'm simply applying our basic notability policy, looking at the other perspectives here, and using them to read the writing on the wall. And I didn't suggest you remove the unacceptable content as a condition of my switching my !vote or ceding to your argument -- rather I was suggesting it to you as an alternative route to achieving the best compromise solution to your efforts here, since it seems very likely to me that this AfD will close as a keep (or a no consensus if you're lucky). As such, if you are determined to get rid of as much of the cruft content involved here as possible, you're going to have to remove those unsourced elements peace-meal anyway -- so why not do it now and have at least an outside shot at converting positions here (either amongst those who have already lodged a keep !vote or those who might yet comment)?

Frankly, you are walking against the
WP:SNOW
if you expect that an article with the number of sources that are involved in this case (and you are low-balling the number of sources at this point) to not be considered to pass GNG. You're trying to parse the wording of that policy down to a place where it will agree with your intuition that this subject is not notable, and you've gotten to the place where people who try this strategy always end up; that is to say, the place where you say "well significant coverage as a standard is rather open to debate". And yes, this is technically true, but from experience with AfD and notability discussions broadly, I can almost guarantee to you that the consensus is going to be that the number and nature of the sources in question here satisfy the condition of significant coverage by a considerable margin.

I'm actually trying to help you get to the closest thing to your desired outcome here as you are likely to get by pointing out that you can count on some degree of consensus for drastically reducing the offending content, and reminding you that you have community tools to help with the socks if they get problematic. I'm encouraging you in that regard because I'd like to see much of that content gone as much as you. Whether you want to wait to see if you can get the article deleted outright before investing that time (instead of doing it now and getting some possible marginal benefit to your AfD arguments now) is completely a matter of your discretion regarding how you use your time editing. But I wish you'd try to understand that I'm suggesting it as an option because I think it would help your efforts, rather than viewing the suggestion with suspicion and borderline hostility simply because I don't happen to agree with you down to the last letter here... Snow talk 19:21, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After taking some time to think, I see the merit of your suggestion. Is it acceptable for the original proposer to do such a severe edit in the middle of an AfD debate? BenedictineMalediction (talk) 15:02, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good question and an understandable concern. Under most circumstances I would say avoid it if there were any chance that the move could be seen as a bad-faith effort to do an end-run around the AfD result. In this case, however, I think you're probably in the clear because so many of those sources are so obviously nowhere near meeting our RS standards. Even if your edits there will align with the same end as the AfD here, most if not all are going to be unimpeachably consistent with our verification standards.

Still, what I would do to avoid these issues is to start with the most clearly unacceptable sources (IMDB pages, the various quote sites, cdbaby.com) and work your way down from there. Don't be in a hurry to do it all in one go, so that if anyone opposes any changes you have time to stop and show you are willing to discuss. Make sure each inappropriate source is handled in a separate edit and make sure each edit summary is clear as to the policy (or policies) being violated. As a basic rule of thumb, if there's a source you think 25% of editors might accept, err on the side of caution and don't delete it; those can wait for wider editor involvement if it comes to that. If anyone reverts your changes, go to the talk page and give a brief explanation, but don't get caught up arguing every point and instead be willing to let some of the contested edits go for the time being. Although unfortunately the timing could not be worse for me, I will do my best to follow the page and provide a third opinion where necessary so that you do not come off as acting unilaterally or otherwise in bad-faith. I hope that other parties reading this will pitch in a comment or three as well if necessary, so that these changes reflect obvious consensus.

Take your time and show every willingness to discuss and I don't think anyone will have cause to accuse you of acting improperly. In general it's considered entirely appropriate to try to improve an article while it is at AfD. Usually this is to try to salvage the page in question from deletion (rather than demonstrate that it needs to be deleted), but the same principle applies; each challengeable claim needs to be consistent with
WP:V and removing elements that do not meet this standard is acceptable and a separate (if parallel) issue to whether the article as a whole is retained. It's more than a bit of work, and I wish I could help you shoulder more of it, but I'll least try to keep abreast of the discussion and keep you from appearing lone wolf on the matter if you have to work against the interests of SPA. And consequently, if you suspect anyone of being a sock, let us know here (or you can contact me on my talk page) and if the case is really blatant I'll do the leg work on opening the SPI, so you can concentrate on the content; it may take a few days though, so just do your best to ignore them until then, even if they get disruptive. Good luck and thanks for taking on this work. Snow talk 12:54, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. I've removed many of the most questionable sources, but cut the text of the article only modestly to give other editors a chance to find reliable sources I missed. If no one speaks up within a day or so I'll make deeper cuts. There's plenty of work to be done on the remaining citations, too.

For what it's worth, the sockpuppetry and gaming of Bonta-related articles have died down to a whisper. The cluster of editors whose contributions made discussions so, er, lively, all went silent in early May 2014. She did have friends, some of them quite devoted, but the silence of her loudest and most dedicated supporters is perhaps the saddest evidence that rumors of her passing weren't exaggerated. Your support if her friends do show up would be most helpful, though. BenedictineMalediction (talk) 04:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then he quotes from it and describes it as "laugh-a-minute stuff." (https://books.google.com/books?id=n78kYbvUd_8C&pg=PA68&dq=flight+vanna+bonta&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pOvQVM-WM4ODNuqRgZAP&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=flight%20vanna%20bonta&f=false) If David Langford's review makes Flight, and therefore Bonta, notable, then the article should be edited to note that Flight received significant attention for being awful.

The thing is, the bad-faith behaviour of even baldly promotional users doesn't change the criteria for notability or the content's consistency with it, no matter how disruptive those editors may have been nor how obvious their single-purpose tactics. I agree there's a monumental effort underway here to fluff the subject of this article up well beyond its relevance in reliable sources. But once a subject has a certain number of direct references (of a certain level of detail each) in the form of reliable sources, it's hard to argue that notability has not been reached. I think this article is going to survive deletion this time, so if I were you and very concerned about keeping the most policy-inconsistent content out -- admittedly a tedious task in this case, made borderline obnoxious by the sheer volume of sources that were added against
sourcing guidelines, seemingly intentionally -- I'd refocus my efforts into removing all of the unsourced cruft (that is, the vast, vast majority of the article), and making sure that COI-editors are removed from the equation if they are socking to foist inappropriate content on to the project.

Further Comment -- If were talking about one translation of one work, I might have doubts as to notability. However, we are talking about a series of volumes. There can be no question that the underlying works are notable. They are probably regarded as more important by Catholic and Orthodox Christians than Protestant ones, but even their theologians are likely to refer to them. With the original languages nowtaught much less than when I was at school, having these available in translation is important.

Yes,

Yes, in order to make a final call on the statement - I would like you to check the previous mention link thoroughly, the pretext and the content of what it follows. You may find the Coverage: Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Dun? as the source of mentioning the girl as the highlight of their news tally. They have thoroughly discussed about her projects in various films, and shows with even the name mentions. I hope, this proves to be of enough claim to projects she has appeared/worked on. She has been mentioned over different sites like IMDB genre, one such is Movies Buff. I recently got to know about this mention too. Tanishqsh (talk) 07:14, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

"The fact is that subject never have had any substantial role in any films and tv shows." as said by
Anupmehra -Let's talk!
, If you read closely to what is written in your called, "passing mention" - It is clearly written That the subject will be playing the role of daughter in the new family. And If you reside in India, you can switch on your TV at 5:30 pm Monday to Saturday on Star Plus/HD to watch her play the lead role of daughter(Got this Info from Google, I actually tuned in to see whether if she is there or no, and I found out that she actually plays a lead role). This is for your personal fact clearing. As far as the notability concerned, the second resource, which has decent coverage has mentioned her various works.

For more clearing of facts, I suppose you watch Maximum (film) once - This might clear your facts about her substantial roles. Hence the two mentioned sources also make it eligible for the WP:NACTOR criterion. TheAuthor! (talk) 16:28, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is my whole point. Can you show me the dis-integration of a source being a passing mention, or how can you compare the strength of a reliable source?. If in that case, yes, the strength of Times Group mention is far widely stronger than any other mention. I am not asking you to do a research, what I am asking is to use some basic knowledge and understanding to measure the strength of that resource. If you think that passing resource cannot be put in
NACTOR#1 category, then I think you need to redefine the category, because it is not easy to have a "passing mention" in times group's leading newspaper. TheAuthor! (talk) 15:25, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

Subject doesn't appear to meet the notability threshold.

The rest are either mirrors, forum pages, brief mentions, links pertaining to other people with the same name, or are in a foreign language.

This is unfortunate that you do not see an obvious fact that he has already got sufficient coverage. Certainly
WP:ONEVENT does not apply either. It is not really surprising that his coverage in Russian is better that in English, since bandy is way more popular in Russia than in the US or Canada, and the world championships of 14, 15 and 16 are all held in Russia.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:34, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

Significant coverage does not simply mean that a subject is mentioned many times in random links. Per
WP:CRYSTAL also obviously does apply because there's no way of knowing if he will eventually receive enough significant coverage after the other 2015 tournament in Russia to warrant a standalone bio; and that's assuming he even follows through and takes part in that event (viz. "avoid predicted sports team line-ups, which are inherently unverifiable and speculative"). Middayexpress (talk) 17:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
You are obviously incorrect. The links which I added to the article are not random links but two newspaper articles (one of which is a central newspaper), and the third one is the website of the World Championship. They are reliable, independent of each other, coverage is non-trivial, and there is more coverage available. None of them is simply a lineup. Counting hits is not really productive. If you want to search in Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmal or Kazakh, which represents the main bandy playing nations, you are obviously welcome.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:11, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And of those references, only one of them actually talks about the player at all as opposed to a small mention.

Delete. Unreferenced article about a network communications system that is essentially unknown outside the writings of its creator, Victor Sheymov. Sheymov himself does appear notable (although his article is a dog), but that notability is not inherited. Variable Cyber Coordinates (which redirects to the title under discussion) was previously a redirect to Sheymov's article as a compromise solution, but one that clearly wasn't sufficient. I'd have no objections to the shorter title redirecting back there if it stays that way (although I personally don't think this concept has sufficient third-party coverage to even warrant inclusion in the biography, were it cleaned up), but this more verbose title isn't even a plausible search term.

Yes, it's only an essay, but it's widely accepted by those of us who write in the military field. I can't see why Fieberling is any more notable than any other junior officer who fought in a famous battle and won a second-level decoration. Dozens of these were won every day if one takes all the countries involved in the world wars. The USN has named its ships after many people who've won Navy Crosses. It's typical naming for the USN. Most other nations don't name their ships after people who've won decorations - does this difference in naval naming policy between the USA and other countries mean American recipients of such decorations are more significant than those of other countries who haven't had ships named after them (or indeed, of US Army or Air Force recipients of equivalent decorations)? No, of course it doesn't. As for the sources covering him, they're nothing more than routine coverage. The only possible reason I can see for his inclusion is that he commanded the first unit to engage the enemy at Midway, but I think that's a pretty weak reason to keep the article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not the first, nor even the first naval force to attack the Japanese, according to Battle of Midway. Nine B-17s from Midway Island attacked first, then more bombers, including "six Grumman Avengers, detached to Midway from the Hornet's VT-8". In fact, his entry in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships makes no such claim. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AFD isn't about finding a reason to keep the article though is it? The deletion rationale provided, as it stands, is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the essay
general notability guideline. As such this boils down to an assessment of whether the coverage Fieberling received was "significant" or not. On that point we have both made our arguments clear so I guess it is now up to others as to what they think. Anotherclown (talk) 09:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

Trust me that nobody is misunderstanding anything. There is no especial reason this individual is notable.

WP:TOOSOON. Teams are subject to change prior to next season; deals could also fall apart in the mean time. At the time of this nomination, even the main season article doesn't exist yet. Article has also suffered an edit war over its contents... and I don't personally see how any of these transfer articles are valid on their own; few other sports use them.

Delete - Much as Lukeno94 says, a list of player transfers in the future is a
crystal ball. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:55, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply

No Delete First of all what I did with the deletion of several citations on those transfers pages without giving valid reasons. My reasons were just really stupid and naive. I really and sincerely apologise for that. Anyway, why delete these pages? They not breaking any rules, guidelines or anything. Why try to delete the Aviva Premiership and the RFU Championship transfer pages but not the Super Rugby transfers? That's just been a bit biased. I had this problem before last year from other users about putting these transfers on the rugby union teams pages itself. But by putting them onto new link pages it was sorted out, plain and simple. They all just left it alone and let me continue edting. So how come you are making it a serious problem, which is just unfair really. NikeCage68 (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2015, (UTC)

Because I hadn't spotted the Super Rugby transfers yet? Those need to go as well. None of your vote lines up with any deletion/keep criteria. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:51, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Query Are these transfers more than just rumour? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:34, 29 January 2015 (UTC).

They're "confirmed" right now. However... there are multiple things that could happen between now and the actual transfer completing, and it's far from unheard of for a deal to be completed, and called off later down the line. We certainly don't know all of the teams that will play in the league next season, and, in fact, it is pretty much impossible for all of these teams to be in the league next year; as such, we're also reporting factual inaccuracies. When the main season article doesn't exist yet... then these sub-articles REALLY shouldn't. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:47, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can see there's a number of issues here. They don't appear to be insurmountable, though the question of which teams will be in the league next year is tricky. The fact that the "main" article doesn't exist should certainly alert one to potential difficulties, but it is not a guarantee that this article should not exist. The issue about the completion of the deals can be dealt with by an appropriate explanation in the lead. The question of which team will be in the league shows that the article title may need adjusting.

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 01:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC).

I have altered the lead slightly, this should take care of the issues raised. Potentially the article could be moved to a title like List of 2015–16 Aviva Premiership announced transfers. Therefore:

Keep or move. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 15:42, 5 February 2015 (UTC).

Australian units of measurement

Australian units of measurement (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

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

There are no "Australian units of measurement". A previous editor removed the copied list of English units, so now the article has no content which is not already much better covered in the (quite good) article Metrication in Australia. Imaginatorium (talk) 06:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The idea that there's nothing to say about Australian units of measure is absurd. It has a distinct history for its use of imperial and then SI units - see History of Measurement in Australia. Before then, the aboriginal peoples had their own ways of reckoning - see Tangkic Orders of Time, for example. And now, Australia has evolved its own uniquely complex and idiosyncratic system for its most important commodity — beer! Andrew D. (talk) 07:47, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, the reference you cite as "Tangkic Orders of Time" says the following: "Like other Australian hunter-gatherers, the Tangkic people had no quantitative measurement system for either space or time." That sounds to me like "There are no Australian units of measurement." Imaginatorium (talk) 08:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am tempted to say keep by Andrew D., but will wait to see whether any real content is added. If it is, it might be better renamed to something like "Measurement in Australia". --Bduke (Discussion) 08:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, using the adjectival form is unfortunate. But the contributor of this series of stubs reverted other attempts to switch to more appropriate titles, so that the list at Category:Units of measurement by country would be consistent (which it isn't, quite). There are English, Dutch, French, and German units (those also being the languages of the names of the units), but similarly there are no Belgian units of measurement, since French and Dutch units were used, until "Belgium" switched to the metric system 20 years before it came into existence. Imaginatorium (talk) 08:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there is substantial content, then keep, however for now I'd suggest Merge with History of Australia. It might have some historical significance, but currently not enough to be worthy of its own page IMO. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is pretty awful. There's currently one factoid that can't be dismissed as "imperial", metric, or metrification, but it's an "in popular culture" kind of thing, attributed to a Reliable Source that starts "Many visitors to Australia do not realize how unbelievably ginormous this country is until they actually start travelling around, the distances are simply amazing!" However, it seems to me that in this edit a baby might have been pulled out with bathwater. Meanwhile, the article on Metrication in Australia is less than stellar, telling us: (A) Metrication in Australia effectively began in 1966 with, the successful conversion to decimal currency - under the auspices of the Decimal Currency Board. The conversion of measurements — metrication — commenced subsequently in 1971 (keep those years in your heads!) and also (B) By 1968, metrication was already well under way in Australian industry. The pharmaceutical industry had metricated in 1965 and much of the chemical and electronics industries worked in metric units - there being no "Imperial" units for the latter. It's all too depressing. -- Hoary (talk) 08:02, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-this is next to useless. No one measures distance in beer. Also decimal currency is unrelated to metric so that article should be fixed. Legacypac (talk) 10:43, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep, but under a new name An article tracing the evolution in systems of measurement used in Australia would be useful, and there are lots of references to support this. The content of the current article isn't very good though, and it's title is rather eccentric. Moving it to Measurement in Australia would help somewhat. Nick-D (talk) 07:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are no reliable sources showing that the topic "Australian units of measurement" is notable per
WP:GNG—what independent sources discuss that topic other than to note that Australians uses measurement systems established elsewhere? Anything useful about aboriginal measurement belongs somewhere else, and jokes such as the colloquial section might be mentioned in an article about slang, but should not appear as if they were encyclopedic information in an article on units.

According to Wikipedia these should be considered reliable sources for which they meet more then 1 of the criteria that are required to identify them as notable - specifically criteria 9,10,11 and 12 are mentioned below:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3132796/

Featured on national cable TV - The band has performed live for the Manhattan Network Neighborhood, below a video from their performance.

Below the bands information on MTV.com a well established music channel

The band also won Top Artist of May 2013 at ArtistSignal.com - an online worldwide contest that includes over 1000 bands, below the link shows the band as one of the past winners.

The band was also a featured artist and their music was used in more then one episode for the TV series Niteclub Ratings. Below the TV series on IMDb and videos on demand, online from Vimeo, where you can see the band as one of the featured artists.

@Rhododendrites: I read the article, thanks again for the tips. Below is some more information.

This is a very well established blog about movies called MovieClips. In the link below, is the trailer of the movie "Preying For Mercy" which they posted on their youtube account.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxz38wDiw88

As far as published material, the band was featured in the first issue of The Revolution Magazine by Model Mutiny. If needed I can upload a screenshot of the physical magazine somewhere.

http://www.trappedinstatic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/revmag-preview.jpg

The artist signal contest covers one of the criteria as well, since the article comes from their official blog and can be found in other blogs as well such as the UK arts directory and mi2n.org - Music Industry News Network (a source that has been used for numerous of wikipedia articles, as it shows in search results. Articles such as Sheryl Crow, Songkick and plenty more).

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=164739

...It seems that I found numerous other bands that definitely have less references then this band here, not sure how those bands are still on wikipedia...I will keep looking for more sources, thanks again. On a last note, the TV show should be quite a big one since it is on a national network, the video is posted on the hostess's youtube account and it does cover one of the criteria (n.12) required to identify them as notable

~~Keep~~ (see below) As I stated on the AfD discussion of Girl Meets Ghost "I would like to point out that when looking for "solid reviews" to prove "notability" there are many fewer credible reviewers of children's literature, and fewer venues for publishing those reviews, and the page space (the "inches") given to said reviews are much less than for mainstream fiction. Which is not to mention that there are many fewer awards (two main ones and a few others), so the chances of a quality children's book "passing muster" by the standards currently set for mainstream fiction may have to be looser for children's literature: a semi-protected class if you will. Four to five picture books a year get Caldecott medals. By comparison, how many credible SF awards are out there? Too many for me to take the time to count to prove this point. External bias can yield incidental internal bias. And then there is the issue that if I write and publish a review of Girl Meets Ghost in a reputable journal or magazine (which I most certainly could, though I would prefer not to at this time) then I have walked into a Conflict of Interest as I would be self-promoting my own academic work. Children’s Literature is a very large industry with very few critics willing to follow it as it is considered a “career killer” in academe. I am a full professor with tenure, so that does not bother me since that part of my career is done. But many academics and journalist-critics just won’t touch Children’s literature. So we have a systematic bias that results in inadvertent Wikipedia bias. Sometimes the same rules should not apply to everything." HullIntegrity (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And I will hit the databases this afternoon and ref it up if possible. With that many books in the series, there will be reviews. HullIntegrity (talk) 16:19, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment - no books in this series have any reviews/stars on Amazon, or other booksellers websites, unlike Girl Meets Ghost. Notability guidelines may not fit well with children's books, but there should need to be some notability to warrant an article. Deunanknute (talk) 16:38, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment - Agreed. But sometimes it takes time to establish credibility, and someone(s) to do it. As I said, few people work with Children's and it, like African American Literature, is a severely underrepresented area on Wikipedia. So, I will see what I can find on this one, but I object to deletion notices on any children's literature works that are useful (to anyone) and may be developed. I do not see 90 hits in the last 30 days as insignificant. HullIntegrity (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A couple of comments: the author and illustrator of these books were wikilinked to people who are clearly not them so I think a merge is off the table. User @
advertise their work. Should we just let all of that slide because it's children's literature? Vrac (talk) 23:21, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply
]

Recant: Delete - Yes, after a bit more snooping, the article does look totally hinky. And, no, "just because it is Children's Literature" is not enough. I only mean there are so few people working in the area it takes more time to check and verify, so I am inclined to "wait and verify". That said, I am in agreement with this deletion. HullIntegrity (talk) 23:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification And after some thinking, I would like to clarify that I think it should be deleted for three reasons: intent (which seems to be advertising), a clear lack of notability (at the moment), and authorship (no registered editors have ever actually worked on it sans myself who made a minor edit while reading it because I could not help myself). I am still unsure about the page hits, though those also can easily be manufactured. HullIntegrity (talk) 13:59, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (do not merge). My comment at the other AfD: "There's an apparent project afoot to create an article on every name mentioned in every Sufi publication.

Keep or merge to
Sadaat Amroha. Agreed that this is of little relevance to the western reader, but the guy is the founder of a fairly recognisable religious community in Northern India. @Раціональне анархіст: your comparison to a "parish priest" fails to distinguish between a priest and a founder of a religious sect - in Amroha, the guy is revered much like saints are in Christianity. The question is whether there is enough sources to keep the person in a separate article, or merge him to the article on his community. However, seeing that the article is fairly well linked to, I am inclined to keep it. Agreed that it needs some serious editing work. kashmiri ^TALK 14:46, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

If you stipulate to there being a question as to whether RS exist and that the article is as ugly as sin, then suggesting 'keep' is improper. As far as
Sadaat Amroha goes, that article is a similarly specious wallow in "highly respected" OR puffery that should be nuked right along with this one.

It's not that I insist, but it would be weird if that person, even if notable only locally in India, could not be found somewhere on Wikipedia.

It appears that a Berber tribe "Beni Saqqar" does not exist in the area described, the name seems to be only a hypothetical mention in one scientific book and no sources are given about such a tribe having ever existed, neither having been described by histeorians. The only quotable source is "Graindorge, Catherine, "Sokar". In Redford, Donald B., (ed) The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, vol. III, pp. 305–307". The source is fine, but what does it say? Apparently, the sentence is "... Saqqara, which probably comes from the name of a Berber tribe, the Beni Saqqar. ...". This alone is not good enough for having an entry about this supposed tribe which may have or may not have existed.

Duplicative and redundant. We already have Category:Mensans, which is more complete anyway. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 16:25, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Lists and categories serve different purposes - the list, for example, contains more information than the category, in the form of a one-line description for each entry which can not be duplicated by the category. There must be thousands of cases of lists and categories existing together here - it seems to be a long-standing standard to keep both. Squinge (talk) 16:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lucky I didn't use it as a rationale then, I was merely referring you to the long-standing consensus to keep both lists and categories to illustrate what you're up against. Try reading my actual explanation of the difference between lists and categories for why they're not duplicates. Oh, and yes,

So you're trying to overturn the long-standing "Overlapping categories, lists and navigation templates are not considered duplicative" consensus, leading to the deletion of most of Wikipedia's list articles? I wouldn't give much for your chances of success there then. Squinge (talk) 18:40, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So far there are no "merits".

delete I can see some use for this if it were Sinclair, Pirie and Serebriakoff. Otherwise it's non-defining. Mensa membership is utter trivia: a deliberate choice to spend a membership fee by a group that forms (by their constitution) 2% of the population. It is nonsense to think of Mensa as "the genius society". Membership of it conveys no significance whatsoever. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:55, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unfamiliar with List of Scouts, but I doubt that it includes me. Like so many other suburban kids, I was once a scout. I tied things, I saluted flags, I marched, I camped. This conveys absolutely nothing, and it would be wrong to categorise anyone with a similarly trivial connection in such a way. Now for Bear Grylls and Peter Duncan, this is a relevant connection and deserves listing. They have had some active and long-term involvement in scouting beyond childhood. Should Tony Benn and Paul McCartney be listed as scouts too? Unless there's a cover version of Do Your Ears Hang Low? on the White Album that I overlooked, then I rather doubt it.

Same with Mensans. Lucy Irvine, Carol Vorderman, they've all made some capital of their Mensa membership. Most members haven't. A list of Mensans (and I would hazard, Scouts too) belongs here to list some people who've made such overt and definite statements of membership (conveniently, these are the ones that are sourceable too). However it should not be a grab-bag of doxxing for people to whom it is a most trivial fact. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:34, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds more like you're saying that the list should be pruned down to entries with more substantial connections to Mensa rather than deleted outright, a question of inclusion criteria within the list rather than inclusion of the list in WP. postdlf (talk) 16:09, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That would be possible, but I think it would fail WP:SMALLCAT as a category or notability as a list. Membership of members in general isn't significant enough to be worth recording. Being a "notable Mensan" isn't WP:NOTABLE, as only being of interest within the society.

Do lists have to be only based on defining characteristics? If so, then I think there's some merit in this argument. But if not, then surely a notable characteristic is sufficient for existence of a list article? Squinge (talk) 18:57, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as plainly redundant to Category:Mensans. Those who do not have an article should not be on the list, and a self-maintaining category would be superior. Stifle (talk) 13:33, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See
WP:NOTDUP, "Overlapping categories, lists and navigation templates are not considered duplicative". I think it would need more than a single deletion discussion here to overturn that policy. Squinge (talk) 13:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

A list does duplicate a category if it has no editorial scope beyond that category. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting point. But this list has a one-line description of each entry, which the category can't. Squinge (talk) 14:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter. I hate quoting guideline language that you should have already read on your own because it's already been cited repeatedly in the discussion, but your comment doesn't give me much of a choice: "These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." (Note that Squinge merely quoted the guideline's header above this text.) And we want categories and lists to have the same scope when they have the same name; the list defines the category's contents. Lists in any event have the potential for annotations and direct sourcing, as well as alternate modes of internal organization, which categories cannot do, so in that sense they are never merely "duplicative" but accomplish different (though overlapping) functions. postdlf (talk) 17:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm actually sort of supportive of a speedy deletion of this since he hasn't had any overly notable role and most importantly, the bio on the article is fairly close to being a BLP violation with the comments about acting out and fighting. Not only is this unsourced, but it also somewhat puts the guy in a fairly poor light. But aside from that, the guy simply isn't notable.

Keep because this is a topic that is spreading faster and faster by each day, and is getting more and more coverage in the press. The article is accurately referenced as well.

I have discussed this with some detail in Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Formula One and have provided sources there. I have also gotten more research as more sources have been made available within the past weekend:
Lopez hits out at 'archaic' F1 management

Why Formula One has failed to conquer emerging markets

Hulkenberg, Perez will test at Barcelona - Force India

I will add the detail to the pages shortly, and improve on the article. In the meantime, I don't think this is "original research" because if it was, it would mean creating your own articles on the subject. These sources prove that other people have researched into this, and what I have done is simply take those sources and turn it into an article.

I don't mind people editing the article - that's what it's there for. It's meant to be edited. If you think that there should be some editing done, please do so.
