A7 Article does not meet notability guidelines.

WP:MILMOS indicates integral components of units rarely independently meet notability guidelines. Usually if notability is established, it will be included in an article on the parent unit unless the reason for notability is independent of that unit. This is particularly true when the parent, as in this case, is a support unit, not a combat unit. Lineagegeek (talk) 22:48, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

It's wrong to think that Cuba has or has had poor relations with the West. Cuba has had normal diplomatic relations with the UK, France and the rest of Europe for decades and decades. US does not = "the West". Reason for poor US relations was illegal, anti-democratic blockade condemned by every single country in world except US and Israel. Also, many of the reactions are actually from heads of govt eg Australia. PM Turnbull is not head of state. Queen is. Just some point to note AusLondonder (talk) 22:12, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I fail to understand why knowing that the prime minister of Malaysia was shocked by the attacks and condemns them helps me understand them better. If it's noteworthy that non-Western countries also express condolences, this can be summarized without mentioning exactly what every leader said.
  • Snow Keep - I'm going to be absolutely honest - I don't see any point to this article and to be honest I'd be happy to see it deleted but.... to be fair we have loads of "International reactions to X" articles and the article is adequately sourced anyway so I'll have to say Keep. –Davey2010Talk 22:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then don't vote to keep just because others are! Just because something has sources doesn't mean it needs its own article.
  • Keep - I can see this being expanded with reactions of nations towards ISIS using this attack as motivation. We have also been down this road before, as others have said. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Simple listings of what people have to say serve no purpose to the reader. They are obligatory expressions of condolences that as insubstantial quotes are repetitive and unconstructive. Paragraphs summarizing general sentiments and elaborating on actual actions taken is a good way to convey messages as a whole, but it is unencylopedic to just copy and paste whatever unconnected presidents' spokespeople put out for them whenever something bad happens in the world. Reywas92Talk 22:30, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    When it comes to articles you should think of potential growth. Right now there is a move discussion on the talk-page that would change this article's name to just "Reactions to the November 2015 Paris attacks". - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • That would be nice, though it's rarely happened for previous events. If it happens with meaningful content expanded on that's great, but I want the useless listings of what every government/president says - the bulk of the page and the reason it was removed from the main article - gone. Reywas92Talk 23:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Okay, breaking the quotes down into prose is a cleanup issue though. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:43, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's the entire article; the prose at the top is also on the main. We don't want to break them down, but summarize that people shared condolences. Might as well delete and start over.

@Epicgenius: I wonder if there is a way to make the article more than just a collection of quotes, I believe there is but it would require will and discussion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:52, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Knowledgekid87: There is a way. First, summarize the gist of all the quotes. Then, cut some quotes that you don't need, because most of them are saying the same thing. epic genius (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be nice if we could remove quotes that are simply "condolecenses" and "we're close to the victims", but ironically, what is currently being deleted are the quotations from government members which give indication about policy, while the ones kept are the ones devoid of any real content. LjL (talk) 23:01, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looked to me like consensus was based on the fact that people didn't want every unrelated condolence listed - on the main article or a separate one. Reywas92Talk 23:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How can they possibly be "unrelated"? They're directly about the event. And from heads of state. If anything, they can be trite and devoid of substance, but I'm not sure that's grounds to keep international reactions completely out of Wikipedia...? LjL (talk) 23:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The source is unrelated. The leader of Taiwan has nothing to do with the event, why do we care about his condolences? Heads of state say things every day, just because they're heads of state does not mean their words must be copied on WP. Reywas92Talk 01:46, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What POV are you referring to? If you want celebrations can be added as it was sadly, and disgustingly a response. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:32, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The view that a listing or some other lengthy treatment of condolences and other peripheral reactions is a noteworthy addition.

Not having sources isn't a reason to delete an article, but not being able to find or believe any could be cited is. A better search term is probably "newfoundland circus bristol", though even that brings up little more than traffic reports and property acquisitions,

I would certainly expect a local traffic report to be the most likely context where a typical reader would hear about this (eg: "Really heavy congestion coming into Bristol because of a breakdown closing one lane of the A4032, that's Newfoundland Circus towards the House of Fraser, avoid the area if you possibly can"), in which case would it not make more sense to redirect to Transport_in_Bristol#Local_road_network.

As the road is only really used for entry and exit to and from the M32 motorway, of which it is really a continuation but without motorway regulations, it might be best to redirect to the motorway article.— Rod talk 18:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The arguments for deletion are better founded in guidelines and policy. With a few exceptions, the "keep" opinions are mere votes or appeals to notability (which isn't in question), but do not even address the policy-based arguments against retention, i.e., the concerns of original research by synthesis, and the duplication of content in Terrorism in France and List of terrorist incidents in France.  Sandstein  17:31, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, the title may have changed but the content is still the same.

It's still ]
(edit conflict) The new name changes things a bit, but I disagree that it makes all the objections above invalid. The content remains exactly the same, and I still think it's an article that decides to link together events without much precedence or justification to do so.

Perhaps that could have a subsection on "Islamic terrorism" where this article could be merged. --Loeba (talk) 14:31, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[COPIED FROM User talk:Frinton100] (view no answer as to poss Labour POV):

Hi Frinton - from an outsider's point of view, perceivably lots of overprotection of Labour candidate & attempts to suppress others? Also if Jim McMahon is notable enough, which I have no doubt in believing, why then try to dumb down his entry by persistent deletion of the OBE image? Please advise - many thanks.

I'm not sure what the meaning of the "Attention" section above is - however, with regards to the OBE - I did remove it earlier, but I saw you put it back and I wasn't too bothered. I think it looks a bit silly, but fine. I hadn't realised I had removed it a second time; I have now moved it to a more sensible location. I am dubious to be honest about McMahon's notability under WP:POLITICIAN - municipal politicians are borderline cases. But please, for the third time in a few hours - can we discuss article content in the appropriate place, and not on my talk page. Please stick to the MOS. And please do not post unsolicited images to my talk page. Frinton100 (talk) 02:41, 6 November 2015 (UTC)


Sure - I think you & I (& of course others) have a reasonable grasp of Wiki eligibility, politics, current affairs as well as the English language.

Could we please stick to the matter in hand - i.e. whether Bickley meets the criteria for notability on wikipedia - rather than resorting to personal attacks. I will deal briefly with these on my talk page. Details about McMahon's article should be discussed on his talk page. As mentioned above, if you think he fails the notability criteria then you can deal with it in the appropriate manner. I'm not sure - I think he's borderline.
Back to Bickley, wikipedia is not the BBC. We do not have to give equal "airtime" (or perhaps "article inches") to all of the candidates in a by-election, or even to the ones we think are going to finish in the top two. The criteria for notability of politicians is described at
WP:POLITICIAN and these make clear that simply being a candidate in a parliamentary election is not noteworthy enough. There is nothing in any other area of his life either that would confer notability at this stage. If he wins on 3rd Dec, of course this will change. Frinton100 (talk) 13:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm sorry but that is a load of absolute bullshit. It seems to me you aren't aware of our policies which states that unelected candidates for office are not notable. Simply being a perennial, unelected candidate or carpetbagger does not equate to notability. Regarding "bias against UKIP" nonsense you allege, in conspiratorial tones, that if Bickley was a "Lib-Lab-Con" candidate (no such party exists, by the way) he would be granted an article. Let us test your theory. Lets see whether unelected candidate for major parties in recent by-elections have articles:
  • Christine Emmett, Conservative, Corby 2012:  No
  • Jill Hope, Liberal Democrat, Corby 2012:  No
  • Craig Williams, Conservative, Cardiff South and Penarth 2012:  No (Not until election as MP for Cardiff North)
  • Bablin Molik, Liberal Democrats, Cardiff South and Penarth 2012:  No
  • Luke Nicholas, Plaid Cymru (finished ahead of UKIP), Cardiff South and Penarth 2012:  No
  • Andrew Stranack, Conservative, Croydon North 2012:  No
  • Winston McKenzie, UKIP, Croydon North 2012: Ironically  Yes (There go your accusations of an anti-UKIP bias)
  • Michael Payne, Labour, Newark 2014:  No
  • David Watts, Liberal Democrats, Newark 2014:  No
  • Roger Helmer, UKIP, Newark 2014:  Yes (Because he is an MEP)
  • Naushabah Khan, Labour, Rochester and Strood 2014:  No
  • Geoff Juby, Liberal Democrats, Rochester and Strood 2014:  No
  • Kelly Tolhurst, Conservative, Rochester and Stood 2014:  No (Not until she gained the seat at the general election)

Jim has no special relevance more than John other than being the leader of Oldham Council, and as far as I'm aware Council leaders shouldn't automatically get a page on here, if they do, why doesn't Rochdale council leader Richard Farnell have a page?

My view is that Jim McMahon is a borderline case.
WP:POLITICIAN states that a municipal politician is not automatically notable but is not not-notable because they are only a municipal politician. McMahon is leader of the Labour group on the LGA and is also an NEC member. In addition to his council leadership, I think that just qualifies him for an article, but only just.

  • Keep I agree that if the Labour candidate considered to be sufficiently notable then so is John Bickley, especially as the next MP for the constituency will be either one of them. It is not for a very small number of Wikipedia insiders to decide who is "important enough" in the eyes of the general public, Wikipedia is supposed to serve the needs of everybody, not the needs of a minority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.214.26 (talk) 10:57, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment If you think the Labour candidate is not notable, you can suggest that article be deleted. Whether we have an article for the Labour candidate (and there was an article for this person before he was ever the candidate) is a separate matter to whether this article should exist. No-one is saying that Bickley's candidacy is not important: it is, and information about him and his candidacy is on the by-election article page. The question is whether the best way to organise Wikipedia is to have a separate page about him as well. We don't usually do that, as explained at
      WP:NPOL. If you think that approach is wrong, you could go to the Talk page there and put forward your position. Bondegezou (talk) 11:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

Do you mean this article [14]? If so I think it's arguable that is not significant coverage, given the article is about much broader topics. And still, it only relates to his candidacy for one election and candidacy alone is not enough.Frinton100 (talk) 22:32, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are 2 full paragraphs about him directly in the full article. This isn't arguable - it is in depth coverage in a cast iron reliable and verifiable source. Szzuk (talk) 22:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think two paras is exactly in depth, and the fact remains it is entirely related to his candidacy. Many other candidates have had similar things written about them in the heat of a by-election campaign, but it doesn't confer notability.

reliable source coverage is a blurb on the Huffington Post — but that's not enough to get a person into Wikipedia if it's the best you can do for sourcing. There's certainly enough of a potential claim of notability here that he would probably qualify for a properly written and properly sourced article, but nobody, regardless of their notability claim, ever gets to keep an article that's sourced this badly or that's written as a public relations profile rather than an encyclopedia article.

The problem is that you've presumed that this subject was notable in the first place and this piece doesn't present any evidence that it was. NTEMP says this: "In particular, if reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." MSX-compatibility was interesting in the 80s, but is now completely irrelevant; it might have been notable at one time, but now is completely irrelevant. Standards from the same era that were truly notable still have references readily available because their notability was not temporal. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't understand the meaning of what you just said at all. MSX is a well-known standard among those who have any knowledge of home computers at all. It was definitely notable in its time, and as such, it can't stop being. LjL (talk) 15:36, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retain Tavernsenses (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2015 (UTC) This article is mainly intended to list the killing (of other individuals) power that technological evolution has bestowed on single individuals, culminating in the destructive power of nuclear weapon technology. Torpedo technology seems to do rather well as well. There is to my knowledge no other article that focuses on this issue. All of the information contained is well referenced to Wikipedia sources, quantitatively (thus impartially) re-assorted. In true keeping with Wikipedia ethics, the article does not (unlike some of its reviewers) express any moral judgement, such as whether the killings were legally justified, acts of barbarism, carried out by a psychopath, or were effected by unwitting conscripts in the mist of a just war against a tyrant ideology of some description. It merely lists, in numerical order, the events in which multiple human lives were terminated as the result of the action of a single human. The article to that purpose explicitly requires that between the moment of action and the actual killings there is no other human intervention required or possible; the bombardier presses a button (action), an electric signal is sent to the A-bomb release system, the bomb auto-detonates, and people are killed, in a rather irrevocable manner. The bombardier literally does the killing, because the killing happens if he presses the button and the killing does not happen if he does not press the button, and there is no human intervention down the road that can alter or prevent the subsequent unleashing of deadly violence. He is the last human element in a long range of necessary processes and procedures aimed at destruction. It is not relevant that, had the bombardier refused to press the button, someone else would have, because then that second individual would have merely replaced the bombardier in the list. Neither is it relevant whether the bombardier was just following orders, was faced with court-martial if he didn't, or was on the contrary happy to give the Japs a thorough thrashing. Any speculation on his motivation does not befit a Wikipedia article. On the other hand, the responsibility for the killings may quite possibly be discussed in other Wikipedia articles, but not in present one. I am mindful of the feelings of anxiety certain readers may entertain upon seeing a beloved war hero listed in the same table as some murderous psychopath, but again, when composing impartial proper wikipedia articles, we should try to ignore feelings and confine our considerations to facts. Facts that have been well documented. No doubt, a nazi camp guard dropping off zyklon-B pellets into a gas chamber may potentially kill more people than torpedoing a troop ship would, but is he the only one doing the dropping? If not, it’s no longer a single individual, and you will have to conduct the rather macabre business of dividing the number people gassed in one go with the number of camp guard dropping pellets. And did that particular guard participate in other gassings? If not documented, he has no business appearing in the ranking. If documented, he has all the right in the world to prominently feature in it. In another example, we have no assertion whether someone who participated in multiple firing squads was issued the blank bullet or not (human ingenuity is apparently equally proficient at designing absconding technology). However, we do know for a fact that a single bombardier released a WWII A-bomb. Indeed, modern A-bombs may feature abort mechanisms, in which case a higher echelon person is able to neutralize the actions of the bombardier before they do any harm. In such case, that person (if he/she did not use that ability) has earned a place on the list, supplanting the bombardier. This is all entirely consistent with the outline at the beginning of the argument. As stated, the list is by no means exhaustive, nor does it purports to be so. And in that it does not differ from innumerable other listings on Wikipedia. It is exactly up to contributing readers to make it more exhaustive. And if anyone should feel an entry is poorly documented or referenced, this could be taken up by a hanging committee such as presently seated. But I do beg no to proceed too hastily with any other, more drastic action. Hopefully I have made a cogent argument for retaining this article in Wikipedia. And on a somewhat cynical note, I would like to end with the old NRA adagio; “it’s not guns that kill, it’s people that use them”. Tavernsenses[reply]

  • Delete. andstart over. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. Small variations to the notability standard either way do not fundamentally harm the encycopedia, but accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encycopedia DGG ( talk ) 06:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • SwisterTwister DGG We already have a base for the article. What's the point of deleting it and starting over if we can just improve the existing article? I'd argue it's not at all borderline notability. I identified the promotional issues the same as you. and attempted to clean up the page a couple months back. I think it has improved and become more factual, but if it needs work why don't we collaborate to improve it, rather than just outright deleting it? It's worth noting it is a company page - and with most company pages, it's essentially an "About" page (this is an encyclopedia) which is going to be inherently promotional in some respects as its obviously going to describe the company and what it does. Nobody in here has identified which elements of the page are promotional, what shouldn't exist, or what could be improved. Deleting and starting over puts use nowhere - as most of the same content would likely be included a second time around. Let's identify what information is too promotional, and improve/remove it. Walton2413 (talk) 14:30, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for doing this is that it is the only way we can try to prevent promotional coi editing. Removing the article is the only effective sanction. (I used to feel just as you on such maters, but the deluge of promotionalism has convinced me of the need to do something about it. I would not oppose moving to draft space, and restoring after a considerable time--I will now sometimes do that. DGG ( talk ) 17:57, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DGG What would stop promotional COI editing from happening on a new page? Editors like that would have the same abilities on a new article as on the existing page. But again, the bulk of the problem appeared to happen from the "KabbageKate" account which hasn't been active in quite some time. Deleting the page wipes out contributions from editors who have been working to improve the page in good faith. Walton2413 (talk) 21:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kautilya3: I think that we are confusing two things here. First we have to know what was Dograi.
"Dograi was a township that stood on the East bank of the Ichhogil Canal."[21]
"Dograi, a small township located on the east bank of the Ichhogil canal, was the scene of bitter fighting."[22]
"The battle of Dograi was the last and also one of the grimmest battles before the cease-fire. Situated on the Ichogil Canal on the main Grand Trunk Road Axis."[23]
"After capturing the township of Dograi, we neutralised the strongly-held pre-Ichhogil canal line of defence."[24]
"Situated on the eastern bank of Ichhogil canal, Dograi is about eight miles from Lahore."[25]
Your source also mentions Icchogil Canal on same page.[26] Since Icchogil Canal was related which is related to battle of Lahore,[27][28] that means we already got an article on this battle, which is known as Lahore Front, and there is also a Battle of Ichogil Bund where the battle went from 22-23 September, but the article is not well written. "Battle of Batapur", name and the article still remains dubious with mostly false information and unknown, that's why nominated for deletion. D4iNa4 (talk) 15:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A search through Google for <"battle of saunshi" -wikipedia> finds thirteen results. While the Google test is often not authoritative, a late-eighteenth-century battle between major Indian powers (one being Hyder Ali, who received a good deal of British attention) can be expected to get far more than thirteen hits. Moreover, the citation is a fabrication; it claims that the information is derived from page 916 of a printed book, but the book ends at page 745. Nyttend (talk) 15:01, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Incorrect. It is indeed on page 916 of the source, as indicated in this link: [31]. Direct quote: "Haidar Ali of Mysore recovered from loss at Chinkurli (1771) to regain Coorg and Malabar, previously lost to the Marathas, then sent a force under Mohamed Ali across the Tungabhadra in southern India. Near Dharwawr at Saunshi, Patwardhan Chief Konher Rao was defeated and killed and Padurang Rao was captured. As a result, many local Chiefs soon submitted to Haidar". Xtremedood (talk) 00:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's a different source. Since you insist that I'm wrong, please quote for me even the first word that appears on page 916 of https://books.google.ca/books?id=Dh6jydKXikoC, which is the cited URL. Nyttend (talk) 04:01, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Small typo it seems, here is the third source: [35]. The user who requested for the deletion of the article, user:D4iNa4 has a history of blanking entire sections of articles related to Hinduism, see [36]. Therefore I do not think religious motivations should censor articles. The battle of Saunshi is well recorded and should stay. Xtremedood (talk) 01:05, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that is a troubling edit and have responded to your comment on the talk page. You didn't like a few recent edits in the section about Hinduism, so blanked the entire Hinduism section? huh? ]

Muhammad Ali, the Maisur general and Raghoba's agent in command of a body of auxiliary Marathas, came up with the troops under the Patvardhan at Sansi about twenty-five miles south-east of Dharwar. Finding the Poona force drawn up in order of battle, Muhammad Ali began the action with his cavalry. He feigned a check, and, retiring in apparent disorder, was thoughtlessly followed by the Marathas, who, confident of victory, pursued in headlong haste till the fugitive Musalmans suddenly disappeared through openings in a powerful reserve. At the same time a body of men in ambush poured into the flanks of the Marathas a tremendous fire of graph and musketry. The slaughter was serious and the confusion hopeless. Muhammad Ali made a determined charge at the head of his cavalry, and, completing the rout, continued the pursuit for nine miles, and captured many of the Marathas, among them their leader Pandurang.

  • Keep - this source [37] has made me reconsider. It is a neutral source (Dictionary of Battles and Sieges by Tony Jaques, and has first-rate academic editors/contributors) and while it is not extensive, it not only confirms the battle happened, but states that a chief was killed, another dude who I presume is notable was captured, and "as a result, many local chiefs soon submitted to Haidar." This would indicate the battle was indeed notable and had consequences. This plus the other info above from the Gazetteer etc is sufficient to write a decent article. Thank you ]

Sorry I didn't notice that. An issue is that we were looking for "Battle of Saunshi" when it doesn't actually appear to have such a formal Western name. Thus I could not find anything. That it was included in a respected Western encyclopedia of battles not only confirms it took place but indicates that it is of significance. Your claim that the source from 1884 is irrelevant because it was the "golden age of fringe theories" is silly. There is no reason to believe the ]
Only two sources in over two hundred years, one of them being dubious while other one is over hundred year old? That's not reliable sourcing. 12:37, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

The last AfD was closed as "keep" about a year ago, though I think it could have just as reasonably yielded a deletion. The article cites no reliable sources, and editors at AfD #1 only managed to find one additional citation: a passing mention in a single HuffPo article. Sourcing and notability issues aside, the content itself is badly written and not in any way encyclopedic. Since no merge or redirect has been enacted over the past year, I think outright deletion is the best course of action. – Juliancolton | Talk 15:17, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge to a Wikipedia:Books article, leaving a redirect. Another option might be to merge with the NAVBOX. This is a useful article and is accessed 1300 times per month. I disagree with the nominator's contention that the manufacturer is motivated in any way to maintain this information, they are interested in selling new instruments and generally do not maintain information on legacy models. This type of information is otherwise only available in very expensive specialty books. This is a fantastic compilation directory of legacy models/articles where a non Wikipedia geek can easily improve the topic.

To clarify, in my opinion the worst issue is that it is entirely unreferenced. Ceosad (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing in the article that requires a reference
WP:SOAPBOX. Sadly, a lot of model-specific articles have already been AfD'd and redirected to a parent article. Specific model component information and the place to keep it has been lost, the information was helpful when restoring an instrument to factory specs, or inspecting specific models for authenticity. The number of guitar players in the US was estimated at 10 million in 2004 and Fender is well respected brand, this is not an obscure topic. Sad to see so much nice work destroyed. -- Paid Editor -- User:009o9Talk 19:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

You might want to revisit your observations. There are lots of red-links in this list. Many of the active links from specialty models (celebrity endorsements or sub-models) are piped or redirected links to generic models. I completely agree about another venue for this list.

The citation here does not support the assertion that Vadim Troyan has been appointed "the Head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine in the Kyiv region". What it says is that he was appointed as deputy commander of the "Azov" battalion. That's the only source in the article; most of the article is unsourced.

Are you seriously implying that the six administrators that previously deleted it along with all the regular editors that nominated it or tagged it as well as myself are obsessed with the deletion of this article? If that is not the case, then the word "obsession" was probably not a good choice.
The only repetitive behavior in clear violation of our policies was the systematic recreation of the article without even trying to address or seek help about any of the serious concerns pointed out by multiple users and administrators, and using instead
sock puppets
and four different permutations for the name to try to circumvent our policies.
How would you describe that behavior?

No I am not joking. The article was practically unsourced with just external links not independent of the subject. but most importantly it was clearly biased and promotional recreated multiple times and deleted under
WP:COI I did not participate in any of those speedy deletions. I started this discussion to either save of prevent any further recreation of the article. But I think that those deletions were perfectly justified under our policies. I have also worked to try to neutralize the article, but it still needs significant work. It is still promotional, poorly written and barely passed notability. I feel that it should either be neutralized or deleted. We should not allow such a flagrant use of Wikipedia as a propaganda tool. Since still you seem to think that the author of the article acted correctly in recreating the article in its previous state using puppets. And you chose instead to classify my comments with an offensive word, you will probably be happy to know that I do not want have any further debate with you on this topic, as I am convinced it would be pointless. --Crystallized C (talk) 23:17, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

Disaster Risk Management in East Asia

Disaster Risk Management in East Asia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

This work was previously nominated for deletion in 2008; later on in that year, the original decision was to keep the article. Since the decision, no substantial work has been done on the page.

Issues:

  • The creator of the article has only created this article, which was seen as original research, advertisement, and a COI.
  • In six years, almost nothing has changed. Thus, the above issue pretty much remains.
  • If the article hasn't changed, it means that no one is looking at this page. Indeed, in the last 90 days, it has only received 329 views. By nominating this to be deleted, I had caused it to received one of the most views in the last 3 months - 16.
  • The article is still pretty much unsourced, with no inline citations, and the one sourced link appears dead.
  • None of the organizations and institutions listed in the article have their own Wikipedia page.
  • The article is void of any standard, and is completely unorganized.
  • The article is an orphan, and the only article Wikipedia has concerning 'disaster risk management.' The otherwise closest is Disaster risk reduction, which is hardly a gem itself. Indeed, East Asia is the only region that has its own article, even if we consider Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management. Unless we are to spearhead creating an article like this for every region, this article should be deleted.

Alternatively, the only non-deleting option that comes to mind is to merge this article with Disaster risk reduction and that article to be merged with Emergency management. I am willing to discuss additional alternatives.

Thank you,

It's one organization's status report or press briefing from seven years ago on its then-recent activities in the area of disaster risk management in East Asia. It's like creating an article titled "Mathematics" consisting of nothing but the minutes from the Year's Update section of the General Session of the 2003 convention of the European Mathematics Association: whether the title refers to a notable topic is beside the point. It amounted to using Wikipedia as a web host for that organization's dissemination. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This has been nominated for Speedy Deletion three times I believe, and the author Usa.channel keeps removing the tags. So let's formalize it with an AfD. There is nothing here to indicate any reasonable expectation the subject is significant.

I cannot see so much as a mere use of this term ("Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq Coalition"). It is an invention of the editor who created the article, pure and simple! I do not say this coalition does not exist, but I would like to see some reliable sources saying that it does, as per ]
The term is used as a descriptor instead of a proper title. This is obvious by the fact "coalition" is used in lowercase in the body of the article. LavaBaron (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pls give me a single source citing "Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq Coalition".Axxxion (talk) 15:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, speaking of Iraq (as a presumed member of the Russia-led coalition), it appears to be a key member in Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, i.e. the U.S.-led coalition. Yes, a few countries are cooperating with Russia in its activities in Syria such as Israel e.g., but never do we find any mention of a formal "coalition".Axxxion (talk) 15:36, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Delete - I'm not sure a non-admin closure was the correct course of action for the last discussion. Personally I would suggest that the article is premised entirely on one news story on 27/28 September 2015, about the four countries agreeing to share intelligence to fight ISIS. Unless there is coverage of the same topic over a wider period, I would say the Wikipedia article was
    WP:TOOSOON. The other sources appear to provide only a background picture for the fight against ISIS and aren't about this alliance. The situation in this area is constantly changing and we shouldn't write Wikipedia articles on every news announcement, howver widely reported. Sionk (talk) 22:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Delete for now; reading through the sources it's stretching the material thinly to get this article off the ground. The material is covered in other articles, and mostly better. There simply isn't a lot here except a lot of tangentially related material (some of it poorly supported by the sources) hung off of a statement from Assad about the new coalition. I think that things have happened too recently to be clear on the validity of this article. There doesn't appear to be any source material since late september/early october which is concerning. Also, there is a lot of synth and POV concerns. For example The United States, along with its Western and Arab allies, have criticized this coalition; most airstrikes during the first week of the campaign, they allege, struck areas held by rebel groups opposed to both the Syrian government and ISIS. Several months of air strikes conducted by the US-led coalition, ostensibly against ISIL targets, however, failed to prevent the expansion of ISIS.; pretty clear good hand/bad hand content, with the latter sentence sourced to an article in early 2015! --Errant (chat!) 09:57, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep - this article failed an AfD less than one week ago on the exact same grounds. This is AfD shopping. As per comments from Mhhossein, Guru Noel, Hollth and others in the original AfD, which I cited as reasons for my original "keep" !vote, I continue to support inclusion. LavaBaron (talk) 20:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks like all the 'keep' votes in the last AfD were based on there being lots of sources in the article. However, sources also need to be about the subject, whicb unfortunately almost all of them weren't. It's hardly going to be 'speedy keep' with two policy-based 'delete' votes anyway. Sionk (talk) 21:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I affirmatively state all of the sources in this article are entirely about the subject and reject you assertion they are not. There are not two sound policy-based delete "votes" (also, we don't "Vote" on Wikipedia - we discuss and arrive at consensus). Simply referencing a policy, but connecting it to the subject through a contorted and tortured manner that has been entirely disabused by myself and others does not constitute a "policy-based" delete argument. This AfD was run one week ago and failed. This is an abusive use of the AfD process. LavaBaron (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To be quite frank it's delusional and/or misleading to say that all (or for that matter any of) the sources in the article are about a Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq Coalition. I can see four (all published on 26/27/28 Sept) which say the four countries are setting up a joint intelligence centre. I can see several more that are about cooperation between Iran and Russia. I can see several more that are about Russia's bombing of Syria. Which source is about a four-country coalition? Sionk (talk) 22:37, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    ]
Axxxion: Thanks for your civil and comprehensive response. However, I think you missed some facts, although you tried to clarify the points; In the previous Afd I pointed to the article by The New York Times[48] which says: "It was another sign that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was moving ahead with a sharply different tack from that of the Obama administration in battling the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, by assembling a rival coalition that includes Iran and the Syrian government," showing that there's something beyond the usual former co-operations. Also, sources such as this and this directly mention the formation of the coalition. Mhhossein (talk) 17:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mhhossein, you make a very good point which I agree with. However, I'm not too worried about the title. What concerns me is that there is relatively slim pickings on this chosen title (effectively: engagements in Syria involving all four of these protagonists. I guess I am saying thay by choosing this title you've created a topic that simply has no real material to cover. We're I to take the editorial view on this article I'd probably look to cut the vast majority of it, which then begs the question: why not simply merge it. I am concerned that some of the content drifts toward a
WP:POVFORK and so it's better to keep things located in other articles till further down the road at least. --Errant (chat!) 18:24, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

I would pay more attention the sources regarding this subject. Having these sources, I don't think there will remain anymore doubts over the notability of it:
Please note that I presented other sources in former notes and you can add them to above list. Mhhossein (talk) 05:30, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What's somewhat telling about this is that all of those sources are from early October. Is there anything in the last month that adds to the article? --Errant (chat!) 10:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware there was a 30-day cut-off window. LavaBaron (talk) 22:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article reads like the start of something. Not an event or thing that is over and finished. As such I'd expect sources to continue to treat the subject. In my experience, over the years, that's a definite AFD warning sign. That there are none presented suggests to me the topic doesn't yet stand up. In fact, more recent sources (example) suggest the coalition is less firm that this article implies. --Errant (chat!) 23:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would discuss based on the policies not on my own analysis! Mhhossein (talk) 05:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That seems evasive, I'd prefer to see you back up your article with sources. To be clear the specific policies I am basing my view on (certainly not my own, thank you) are

  • Strong Delete this title is a pure invention about something the Russians hope to put together. Russia is late to the party in Syria, and is not really leading the Syrian Govt or Iran who has been there for over a year. The type does not tell where or for what purpose this alleged group exists. The Russian and Iranian interventions against ISIL are already well covered in articles. Further Iraq is not intervening in Syria and Syria is not intervening in Iraq. Legacypac (talk) 04:36, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Legacypac: How can you call that "pure invention" given the sources above? Whether Iraq or Syria are intervening in each other's country or whether Russia hopes for some thing does not affect the notability of this article, does it? Iraq has promised to share intelligence services. Mhhossein (talk) 06:33, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Countries share intelligence all the time. Here US worries Iraq will pass intel to Russia[49] Here Israel is sharing intel [50] but we don't include them in the US led anti-ISIL coalition. Pakistan and Russia agreed to share intel, but where is Russia-Pakistan Coalition? How about a US-China Coalition page based on this [51]. Look Intel is cheap to share, easy to be selective about, and might even include intentional false info. Sharing intel does not a military alliance make. its just a nice way of saying "hey we want to look good in the press". Legacypac (talk) 06:48, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again ignoring the sources? I never said that all intel sharings can be called coalition, in fact I say that a party can be a member of a coalition by presenting intelligence services. Mhhossein (talk) 12:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The coalition is not "an invention"; it has been reported on by multiple reliable sources. Please refrain from basing your arguments on falsehoods. —]
In point of fact, there are only two sources in the article referring to this as a coalition, and both of those mentions are trivial. By comparison (and most of the sources do make a comparison) more than half refer to a US-led coalition (or some variation). This situation is evolving very rapidly; and the content in this particular article is synthesised from a couple of weeks of sources and some much older material. There's definitely need to cover this material, but the major player (by far) here is Russia and we have an adequate article covering their involvement. This is just a content fork focusing on a minor item that happened a few months ago. --Errant (chat!) 14:20, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:ABOUTSELF, despite one of the co-authors being Tompos of NTA. That said, I don't see this piece as counting significantly towards wiki-notability of NTA, since it has little depth specifically about NTA-the-company ("...ACI member Eric J. Tompos is an engineer with NTA, Inc., Nappanee, Ind. He received his BSCE and MSCE from Purdue..."), but it does count towards the wiki-notability of the Tompos family, showing their impact on the field of construction, and it is pretty common wiki-traditionally to count coverage of the founders as being related to coverage of their corporation, and vice versa, when wikipedia only has an article about *either* the corporation *or* the BLP (by contrast see Larry Ellison and Oracle Corporation which are independently wiki-notable). In cases where the founder is more wiki-notable than the company, AfD bangvotes will often recommend a merge of the corporation-cites into a section of the BLP-article, and in cases where the corporation is more wiki-notable than the founder, the reverse up-merge is typical. In this case, we have an article about the corporation already, and a subsection about the employees at NTA_(company)#Organization, which is where this academia-cite about the concrete beams will fit. Besides the 59 cite-count in academia, e.g. [64][65], the 2002 journal-paper in question was also used by professors in graduate-level Civil Engineering coursework.[66] The precursor, the fellowship which led to the master's thesis of 2000 also got some intra-university press-coverage: "Goldberg Fellowships Fund Promising Students, Research" (PDF).

Hello to all Wikipedia users. Im copying the reasons for deleting this article from it's talk page: "A second deletion proposal

This article is "copied from 'Zionist attitudes toward the Palestinian Arabs'" and has already caused confusion among Wikiusers. It's editing history hard to access, it doesn't link to any other Wikipedia and it's also unclear to what conflict does it cover. We already have a B-class Mandatory Palestine article with a wide politics section in it. For understanding the wide scope of relations between the zionist movement and arab region We have the Arab–Israeli conflict and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. It's clear this article doesn't add anything but messing with Wikipedia. It was already up for a delete and i suggest either to do so or merge its relevant content with the above mentioned articles.Mateo (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Additionally, The previous deletion proposal was voted 5-2 in favor of delete, and even the keep voters stated this article needs heavy editing. This article remained incoherent with Wikipedias content, style of writing or editing, and has no sense keeping it as it is.Mateo (talk) 18:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)" 19:04, 31 October 2015 (UTC) Mateo (talk) 03:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)"[reply]
A link to the
Nashashibi, nor the conflict between Jewish militias or the relations between them and the Druze or the Negev Bedouin. It's clear this article wish to fix a feeling of bias, but i think Wikipedia isn't the place to do it. So with no improvement in it's content, let's not settle with changing the name again.Mateo (talk) 04:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

The deletion proposal your are referring to was originally made on this article under its previous name - "Zionist attitudes toward the Palestinian Arabs". This article wasn't copied from there, but it in fact the same article renamed.GreyShark (dibra) 15:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your wrong. I actually quoted the user who copied it. He wrote it black on white: "copied from 'Zionist attitudes toward the Palestinian Arabs'; see talk) (thank)" It is now hard to trace edits the previous article because of the way the the name was changed. This article is problematical in so many ways, and actually ads almost nothing of importance to the subject it should cover. Best thing to do with it is delete it, but heavy editing is also of consideration.Mateo (talk) 08:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have not read this article, so I have no idea which side is trying to fix which bias. AFter looking it over the outline of this article, I do think that this article fulfills a purpose that is not fulfilled by any of the other related articles (which are listed in the "See also" section) by detailing the Mandatory roots of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in more detail than would have been appropriate in the Mandatory Palestine article. Debresser (talk) 10:58, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Half the article deals with the years prior to the mandate era. As i said, the name have changed twice but it's content is still "Zionist attitudes toward the Palestinian Arabs", which imply heavy POV and original research. The article is trying to fix a bias by the statement of it's own author, that said he wrote it because "the article on Zionism had no space". So this is actually not an article about mandatory palestine but a critical POV on Zionism that is written in pseudonym. The fact you also got mislead by it clearly points that it's a harmful article. Of course i think we should fix that.Mateo (talk) 15:23, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The articles you speak of were written by you after this one, in false relation to this one, and while they also refer to a conflict that was never separated then the Arab israeli conflict, they do add something of importance. That's why they should stay (but be renamed) while this one should just go.Mateo (talk) 08:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
1. The fighting between "communities" in the region did not start 30 years before the
First Arab-Israeli War
.
2. There were fights inside those communities as well.
3. There were a lot more then just "zionist" and "arabs" in that region
4. You did states some important things, BUT ALL OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS ALREADY EXIST IN OTHER WIKIPEDIA ARTICLS
5. It appears not a lot of voters actually read the article before voting, and thats very disappointing. Just a glance at the article will make it clear for you that it does not focuses on 1919-1948 and tries to detail the communities of mandatory Palestine, but it is actually a straight forward POV trying to show that the Israelis seek to transfer the Arabs from the land. Now this is a legitimate argument but it is highly controversial and definitely not right for an article named "Intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine".
6. Furthermore, this term "Intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine" is a complete made up term that is not explained in the article itself nor anywhere else. It is an original research that does not suit an encyclopedia and can confuse readers with lack of knowledge in the subject.
7. As someone how studied this matter, i urge you to read the article and reconsider your vote. I recommend to everybody to do the same.Mateo (talk) 08:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mateo,
The intercommunal conflict (which doesn't mean armed conflict) started in 1917 at the anniversary of the Balfour declaration and each year after. The Arab population manifested against Zionism and Jewish immigration. In 1920 this evolved in riots which made a tenth of deads and again in 1921. The years after the were huge political conflict with Mandatory authorities. In 1929, new riots all around the country made more than hundred deaths. The years after Arab gangs organised step by step and this evolved in a 3 years civil war (some historians refer to this has the lost Arab Palestinian War of Independence). That war where Arabs fought Jews and the British authorities made more than 5000 deads among Arabs and hundreds among the others. The IZL and the LHI answered to this Arab revolt in using terrorism and Zionists claimed for their own independence. WWII was a truce period but as soon as 1944, the Zionists movements started their independence war (military and politically). This lead to the 1947 partition vote and a civil war (intercommunal war) in Mandatory Palestine between Jews and Arabs and that made around 9000 deaths in 6 months (ie more than 50 per day on a population of 2,000,000 people). All this occured before the 14 May 1948. Pluto2012 (talk) 07:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wont argue with the things you wrote, tough i reccomend you to take a second look at your numbers. What is important for me to clarify once more is that THE ARTICE WE DISCUSS HERE do not deal with the relations between communities in the mandate era! It's a self-described copy of a controversial article named "zionist attitues towards palestinian arabs". This alone should be a cause for deletion. Please read the article. From top to bottom It's a push for a once-sided legitimate but non-encyclopedian POV while using a pseudonym. it causes confusion among users just by using a fringe term to describe the politics in British mandate (that no one would argue were a lot more complex than just Jews VS Arabs), not to mention it's tendentiousness content that focuses solely on the a idea of transfer. But above all the article is edited in a way it's hard if not impossible to see its origins. This bundle of distortions leads to an article that does not explain it's own title, while it's content deals with a totally different subject. There were a lot more then just Zionist and Arabs in Mandatory Palestine, and these two groups were hardly monolithic.
But as i said the discussion here is not about what happened, rater if this article contribute to Wikipedia or causes confusion and mistakes. Unfortunetley until now every user had put forth his own opinion on the relations in the region but NO ONE ADDRESSES THE ACTUAL CONTENT OF THE ARTICE! While this is strange, it got to show you this article can't be defended and is of no positive use. Most of the things you wrote, for example, are already written clearly in the Politics section of the british mandate artice. While it's importnat to expand that section, this article that's up for deletion does not add much to it and it's history and effect demonstrate the need to edit it heavily or delete it alltogether. Mateo (talk) 19:33, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that the current content doesn't fit the title of the article. Anyway, contents issues are not solved by AfD. They are solved in modifying the content.
Pluto2012 (talk) 05:59, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When it's a regular case you are right, but in front of us is an article that already got renamed twice. Do you suggest on renaming it again? Plus this article already causes serious mix up at the subject it should cover, and all of it's important content (which is very little) you can merge with the Politics section of the british mandate article. If you suggest keeping this article and EDIT it so it will explain it's title, you need to start from scratch. You can either vote to DELETE it or you can just set this article it's original name back and edit it's controversial content. In both of this alternatives you would be better using the Politics section of the british mandate article as a basis for an article about the communities of the mandate. But it's either Naming it back so it's title would fit it's content or Deleting it due to it's history and serious problems. What do you think is better?02:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mateo (talkcontribs)
  • Comment - Can be nice to actually find one argument to keep this article that involves the content of the article. Yes, it has a pretty name, but it's an invented pseudonym to cover up a POV. Just read it, please.Mateo (talk) 08:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh really, you think a clean up would be enough? can you mention in specifics what parts need to be cleaned up??Mateo (talk) 07:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what "fork" means in this context, but have you read the content? Have you read any books or articles on the British mandate of Palestine before reading the article? Seriously what do you know on the issue, to vote Keep?
There was no conflict involving Zionists prior to 1921, except maybe the spillover of the Franco-Syrian War in 1920 (but that is another topic).GreyShark (dibra) 06:39, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To say that the inter-communal politics in mandatory palestine were focused on the relations between a groups of "Zionist" and a group of "Arabs" is bigoted towards both sides and a simplistic POV at best. But to have an encyclopedic article that says that is a damn shame. Can you please address the facts of the matter, rather than the inner politics? As i said, the term "Intercommunial conflict" related to mandatory Palestine is a fringe term, hardly used be historians. Perhaps that's why there is no resource for the articles name, and it actually doesn't appear again in the article itself. How can you defend that? In addition, there were many types of Arab identities in the the region, having major differences along geographical lines and many different families that had complex relations with one another, many types of Zionist, other Jews that were not Zionists, some Jews that were part of the old population and more than a few co-operations between religions even by the time of the British occupation. So there is almost no connection between the name of the article and it's content. This is the reason it should be deleted, way before we say one word about the obviously biased approach of the articles author, that clearly said that this is an expansion of the "Zionism" article. I would like you to reconsider your vote, or at least share a comment on that, as I am quite surprised to find out how many voters here didnt read the article.07:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Mateo,
As far as I am concerned, I would agree with an important "cleaning" of this article. I agree that too much undue:weight is given to the mutual "attitudes" (and even in the attitude of Zionist towards Arabs) when this is just a (small) part of the context.
Pluto2012 (talk) 10:37, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. And that's because this article is still "Zionist attitudes..." as it was from the get go, just under pseudonym. It was a mistake to think that changing it's name over and over again would urge users to edit it accordingly. This led to a very confusing article that can't stay as it is. Cleaning it, as you suggested, would mean start from scratch. From start to finish, the article doesn't detail events that happoned under the british rule, rather focuses on zionist actions and the responses others. In mass, more than one third of it doesn't even deal with the years of the mandate! That's why there is zero coverage of the 40's, as the article wrongly claims "From the beginning of the forties the Zionist movement stopped paying attention to the 'Arab question'." This claim, like many others, is an unsourced claim, which is still better than the many misquotes and sometimes utter distortions you can find of historians like Yosef Gorny. The more you will go through this salad you will find it's impossible to clean it without deleting it first. But we do have two other alternatives:
1.We can go back to it's original name and edit it's biased approach towards Zionism. When referring to "Zionist attitudes" in plural one must look at the full context of Zionism and should consider the attitudes of important Zionist leaders like
Hagana's general Sneh and Tel Aviv founder Chelouche
. This would still leave a one sided article in wikipedia but at least would be in proportion with reality.
2. We can heavily edit it and merge it's useful content with the "politics" and "demography" sections of the main "mandate article". Maybe this is the best idea, if we aim this article to detail the social atmosphere under colonial rule.
3. We can recognize that this article has so many flaws, regarding it's controversial history and POV content, that it would be very hard to work on it as it is. We can recognize this was and still is a one person's work. We all know how hard it is to edit an original research. Because it is doing damage to Wikipedia and confusing users, i still think we should Delete it, turn a new page and open a modest and accurate article that would discuss the important issue.
Tell me what you think is the best option, as i would be happy to go either way. 07:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mateo (talkcontribs)
Actually i would have been agreeing with you, if the article still was in its original form (Zionist attitudes). However, with some significant changes, like adding the Arab perspective and the conflict timeline, this certainly warrants for a standalone article. Improvement still needed of course.GreyShark (dibra) 22:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My friend, i know you yourself have put a lot of effort to make this article reasonable and more balanced, and i even know that ironically some of your edits got deleted for pushing a POV that would damage the articles narrative. Trust me, I did my research before proposing this deletion. Alas, your hard work, as respected it may be, is like cleaning a wrecked car. It may look nicer but it is not in any more safer to drive. In fact it is now used as a cover up for a very harmful article. Indeed you and other editors added some Arab responses to those "Zionist attitudes", but it didn't made the article any more to deal with the communities in the British mandate, and their relation to one another. This article is still miles apart from it's title, and therefore it should be changed in according to one of the options mentioned above. This doesn't mean we should delete the timeline, by the way. In fact the timeline just shows again that this title is not appropriate, as it also starts from the end of the 19th century. It also deals with many events outside mandatory Palestine, so why don't we change it's name to "timeline of the Arab-Israeli conflict", so we can delete this article without tampering timeline? 06:28, 20 November 2015 (UTC) 06:29, 20 November 2015 (UTC)~
  • I still say, keep -- The original complaint was that the article was duplicating another. That is a legitimate complaint, but we ought to have an article with this title. If the content is not matching the title, it requires editing, not deletion. There was certainly much conflict during the mandate: at some periods, the British (who were, I think, merely trying to maintain order) found it necessary to support Arabs against Zionists; at other times the other way around. Arguments over the proper content should be resolved on the talk pages, not through an AFD. This is a topic on which views are polarised. Unless we can find an academic who is capable of standing back sufficiently to take a balanced view, it is almost inevitable that we will get a lot of POV statements in it - POV from both sides. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So you are saying we basically delete all of the content and leave the title? Fine, but what about the fact that this is an invented title, Wikipedia original, that has no resource in academic literature and therefore no translation in any other Wikipedia? Face it, this article is dent. It's completely dent. I agree that a separate article on Israelis and Palestinians is needed, but a good Wikipedia article on the inner politics under the British mandate should start from the politics section of the main article. So would you agree and reconsider your vote? 02:28, 22 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mateo (talkcontribs)

The references for this article consist either of directory listings, of articles the subject wrote herself, of sources which lack independence (http://www.drjudyho.com/AboutMe.en.html), or ones which are not independent or reliable (IMDB). The interview with her about living in L.A. is not "about" her, it's "about" L.A.. While having appeared on the Dr. Drew show suggests nascent notability, there is no evidence given of the subject having been the non-trivial focus of any reliable, independent publications. KDS4444Talk 08:36, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The creator's only other significant contribution is the writing of Maria_Ho an article on this subject's younger sister. Unsourced bio details like where they lived as children until what ages in both articles suggests the creator knows these two intimately. Legacypac (talk) 08:45, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment With improved sources and seeing she is on TV a fair bit, this may be a keep. I moved it to Judy Ho Legacypac (talk) 08:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Additional sources have been added. Ho has a significant television resume and presence, well over 150 episodes of network and cable television (as noted on IMDb) and currently appears on a major/national cable TV news show Dr. Drew On Call, with as much exposure and notoriety as any other media, television personality or TV host to warrant a wikipedia page. In addition to being the sibling of a sports figure/celebrity Maria Ho. User:Sunface1313 (talk) 17:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Notability made out in abundance on the cited sources. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:04, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clear evidence of notability. Though celebrity status may have been focus of the original article, it has been expanded and could easily be expanded even more with sourcing on her scientific contributions including research on mental health among immigrant populations here and here, as well as her published works here. A quick google search results in numerous hits from RS [86], [87], [88], [89] and a gold-mine of potential sources in her resume [90] and her dissertation [91] which could lead to article expansion. SusunW (talk) 18:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets notability - article just needs expansion and improvement. Needs to be renamed per naming conventions. 15:51, 18 November 2015 (UTC)Minor4th
  • Keep Clearly meets sourcing requirements, and has been renamed to fit conventions (thanks, @Legacypac). petrarchan47คุ 04:43, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. He holds the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police. In Sri Lanka, which has a national police force, a DIGP is in charge of all the police in a province and is therefore responsible for the policing of a population of a couple of million or more. I think that makes officers of this rank sufficiently notable for articles, given that we consider British chief constables and police chiefs of largish American cities, who usually have a lot less policing responsibility, to be notable enough for articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Neutral. Strictly speaking, fails
    WP:TOOSOON should apply until there is an actual announcement (the 2008 one was later denied) by the IP owners or the contracted developer backed up by an in-development product. Most sourcing boils down to people wanting to make it and talking about it, but nothing real yet existing, just tons of rumors that are all denied. Current article (without directly using the quotes) could serve as a paragraph on development history if the game was ever made. I definitely consider content worth keeping, just unsure if it should be a stand-alone article or part of people's and developer's article. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 15:24, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Fair enough. I guess they are seriously talking about it. They just have produced no results. I doubt that's a topic deserving a separate article rather than a section in developer's article. But it has plentiful sources, so if consensus is to place content as a stand-alone article, I'm okay either way. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:39, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that
    WP:GNG says nothing about requiring a product to exist, only that a topic be covered in detail by suitable sources. As a topic, Earthworm Jim 4 clearly meets this... Even if the product that the topic discusses doesn't exist yet. -- ferret (talk) 17:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

I created this Wikipedia page and have continued to work on it to add credibility and make it more noteworthy. Thank you for recognising the work that has so far been put in to make this article more noteworthy, I can assure you that I will continue to work on the page to make it as relevant and reliable as possible.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss the proposed deletion and I'm confident I can help clear up any confusion.

I believe the reasons being given for proposed deletion are based on there being limited non-trivial coverage, no independent coverage and content forking. I'll address them below:

Ther is link, however BrightHR is not part of Peninsula Business Services. BrightHR is a separate company, co-founded by the former Managing Director and Head of Marketing of accountancy firm Sage. The company is backed by Peter Done who is the main investor. Peter Done is the owner and managing director of Peninsula Business Services. During its founding period, BrightHR been fortunate to be able to rely on Peninsula Business Services for various resources. BrightHR is based in The Peninsula Building in Manchester. Peninsula Business Services operates from the first 6 floors of the building, whereas BrightHR is based on floor 9. The Peninsula is a commercial office skyscraper with a number of businesses occupying it, these include BrightHR, Laterooms as well as being the home of the British Transport Police in Manchester. As BrightHR develops it will become clearer that the two businesses are separate. Done is an investor in and owner of a number of businesses outside Peninsula Business Services many of which have their own Wikipedia entry, BetFred being just one example. I understand the original redirect was put in place to Peninsula Business Services, however I hope this demonstrates why this redirect was inappropriate.

In terms of notability and the quality of the sources go, BrightHR has been featured in a number of news sites and publications following the release of the academic research the company commissioned which was lead by the UK's leading behaviuoral psychologist Manchester University's Professor Sir Cary Cooper. This has seen Professor Sir Cary Cooper, BrightHR and the results of this report featured in a wide range of publications including The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Scotsman and has seen the story being featured on around 50 different radio stations across the UK. This academic research should be seen as non-trivial and the publications which have covered it are independent. This volume of coverage in itself adds a level of notability and credibility to the company.

In addition to the two founders being interviewed for the BDaily article referenced in this article, the company's Co-Founder & Chief Marketing Officer has been featured in Marketing Week, which is the UK's leading marketing publication and he is to present at the UK's most prestigious marketing conference The Festival of Marketing. This should give some indication for the level of esteem in which BrightHR's marketing and PR activities are held with the marketing community and how they have made the company, its output and its professionals relevant to a broader audience. Again this is independent coverage and non-trivial coverage.

This is only the beginning of this article. I have every intention of creating a really relevant and and useful resource. I will continue to add independent references and include non-trivial content.

I've not created loads of business pages, however I have created some that have taken on a life of their own (which is how I believe it should be) and I'd like to think that if it's allowed to develop this article will go on to become one of those articles.

Thank you for your consideration and i hope you will agree to let me continue to develop this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosmicsqueaker (talkcontribs) 10:57, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The best ref is indeed the Marketing Week articles: unfortunately, it is about neither the company nor the founder; it gives him a paragraph to discusses his company as one example one of about a dozen companies included, giving it less space than most of the others. I do not consider it significant coverage. As for the other articles, most of them show that we need an article on Sir Cary Cooper. The firm merely funded the work; Sir Cooper did it. Other refs contain links to the sort of incidental mentions that do not show notability, such as their cofounder sharing a platform with a more notable person. I have learned in article about companies to actually read the references, not judge them by their titles or what people may say here in supporting them. Seeing referencing of this sort, I would delete for promotionalism, not move to draft space, and not make a redirect. DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes:

      Manchester people management software company, BrightHR, is ‘set to revolutionise the industry’ with the launch of a new cloud based HR software specifically for SMEs.

      It is being headed by the former MD of Sage Accountants’ Division, Paul Tooth and its ex-head of marketing Paul Harris with support from Peninsula’s Peter Done.

      The people management software, which was launched at the CIPD conference in Manchester this week, has been developed to help SMEs ‘effortlessly’ implement HR admin processes, and get specialist knowledge on topics ranging from employment law to happiness.

      With a multi-million pound investment, BrightHR offers a cloud based HR solution for SMEs says Tooth.

      Bright HR, the newly-launched cloud-based HR software, is showcasing its recent rebrand with a stand-out taxi advertising campaign in Manchester, allowing attendees at this week’s CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition to travel in style.

      Co-ordinated by Media Agency Group as part of its continued work with Bright HR, a full wrap taxi campaign will see the brand make a 'strong impact' in the city.

      Those visiting the event will be able to travel by taxi from Bright HR’s Manchester office in Victoria Place to the event at Manchester Central.

      The article notes:

      For small businesses, meanwhile, starting out with a strong creative culture is vital for future growth. Bright HR, a provider of HR management software, has placed great importance on its recruitment processes and internal management structure as it seeks to become a dominant player in its B2B market.

      This translates to the layout of the company’s Manchester office, which is primarily open-plan with a large artificial garden in the centre of the room. Bright HR’s 70-strong staff are encouraged to sit and share ideas across different departments. The office also incorporates a range of games including an Xbox console, spacehoppers and Nerf guns to make the working environment more enjoyable.

      Paul Harris, CMO at Bright HR, says that talented, creative developers are in short supply in the technology sector, meaning that companies need to create an internal culture that stands out in order to attract them. Given its ambition to become a disruptive force in the HR software market, the company wants its staff to think for themselves and take risks.

      Bright HR is a cloud-based Human Resources service that provides small to medium sized businesses with an easy way to manage their day-to-day HR needs.

  • Delete - I don't consider a profile in a local newspaper as considerable and notable coverage, it's pushed by their PR team and likely to get some column inches in the niche paper because it's a local interest piece. The entire article is a giant advert for a non-notable company that has done nothing of any significance. The page is just a PR dump of anything that can paint the company in a positive light, every mention in press and every time the co-founder shared a stage with someone half-famous at festivals of marketings - once you take the fluff and non-encyclopaedic content, and address the COI and neutrality issues, nothing will remain of the article anyway.

Seems to be a case of

WP:EVENT. While one passenger died, the plane suffered no damage and landed safety and the incident did not lead to any long term changes or impacts on the airline industry. There was not even an investigation, or if there was one, it was not extensively covered. Planes encountering air turbulence is not that uncommon and unless it led to a major crash like American Airlines Flight 587, there is no reason to have articles on every single incident that occurs on a flight. Searching "United Airlines Flight 826" on any search engine mostly comes up results for the 1960 mid-air collision over New York, where one of the planes involved had the same flight number. A single death does not automatically merit notability, especially since the family did not file a lawsuit or anything The Legendary Ranger (talk) 22:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply

This one did involve a fatality. There's far too much sourced topic-specific content to be merged to the Clear-air turbulence article. --Oakshade (talk) 01:22, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's no need to merge everything. Sources like the NTSB's interim press release or the ASN entry are redundant, in this case, and trivia like the flight attendant hanging upside-down can be safely omitted. --Deeday-UK (talk) 11:03, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The sourced flight details (altitude, flight path, weather predictions, etc.), timeline, amount of force, injuries, actions by the crew and the subsequent investigation are all out-of-place in the turbulence article. With this source from 2011, there's even more than can be included. Two similar sources in this article has nothing to do with the inappropriateness of content in another article (that issue was corrected anyway). --Oakshade (talk) 15:28, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Which I've said does not give it the WP:GEOSCOPE (as this article was covered locally in the United States by this article, which even if it makes it more likely to be notable, doesn't mean an article should be created), WP:DEPTH (which the article only has 2 being CNN and the book), WP:DIVERSE (which is relaying information already used), and WP:LASTING (as the outcome of this event was only the retirement of one aircraft from an airline that can buy more, something that would make it lasting would be a lawsuit by the family) it needs to pass." and
  • "Besides even if it passes that one criteria, it still fails the other four important criterias that I've mentioned in the previous log of WP:EVENT (One criteria does not trump all)".
  • I've explained why they don't meet a lot of times before, which seemed to be ignored and I don't know how to say it again rather than copying and pasting it from my previous paragraphs. As for
    WP:NOTE
    , there are other events like I've stated twice. Its not notable compared to them as they seem like common events with common tragedies. As I've stated:
  • "...to comply with evidence who's to say that here by a simple search, an Air France flight in 1996, Eastern Airlines in October 1990, China Airlines in 1982, or Indian Airlines in 1980 aren't notable? All five are similar with one or two deaths" and
  • "...looking up similar incidents like this here which are greater or equal to the resulting information of this incident."
  • "Besides even if it passes that one criteria, it still fails the other four important criterias that I've mentioned in the previous log of WP:EVENT."

Seven-year old completely unreferenced stub with only one wick and few constructive (as in expanding the content) edits (all of them are minor changes, and none added sources).

I just noticed that the article itself is outdated. When it was written in 2008, Photo Researchers and Science Source were independent stock agencies (although the latter was owned by the former). They have since merged, as the linked news article explains. That's why the merge isn't mentioned. Also:

"The company was founded by Peter Schults in his apartment on Manhattan's East 57th Street. At first running the business from his home, Mr. Schults amassed one of the largest collections of travel photography, covering many rare and exotic locations and cultures. To this day, if you pick up a book on geography or cultural anthropology or an atlas published between the 1950s and 1970s you are pretty much guaranteed to see Photo Researchers as a major photo source."

A quick Google Books (henceforth GBS) search reveals this, but of course, if no reliable sources state this directly, it cannot be in the article. Anyway, the GBS got nothing but endless zoology, ecology, geography, anthropology etc. books using photos from it/listing it in the photo credits, which is...not a good sign. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wikipedia article is the only source covering Photo Researchers in existence. (The news article I linked, and maybe others (especially on stock photography news sites) cover the merge, but this one might be the only source about the agency specifically. Some of the news articles I mentioned might explain the history of PR, but this might as well be the only source covering the agency itself and not the merge.

  • Comment, and some questions; this article reads like a resume, telling readers what Delshad has accomplished, there appears to be no referenced analysis of his work, nor references showing the impact of his work in the area of linquistics. He has been a lecturer, not notable, has written a thesis, not notable, has obtained additional linguistic training, not notable, is a scholar, not in itself notable, and a translator, not notable, and has written a number of books, not notable. Where are the reviews of these books that tell the reader the impact they have made in Delshad's field? has he won any notable awards? As the article presently reads he does not appear to have made "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field"

  • Keep. While I agree that it doesn't help that name-wise, Muzi Dlamini appears to be the Swazi equivalent of John Smith, it seems odd that nominator could only come up with statistical stuff. There are any amount of routine match reports, scoring goals in important games (e.g. an agency piece carried worldwide reports his opening the scoring as his team eliminated a South African team from this season's CAF Confed Cup, the first time a Swazi team had ever done so) as well as just name-checks where he didn't do much, but that's what you always get with sportspeople. And there are enough bits to take coverage beyond the routine, e.g. from 2010, individual praise from the country's Sports Minister for the then 16-year-old Dlamini,
Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Hlobsile Ndlovu rightly praised youngster Muzi Dlamini as he scored three of the seven goals that were by his team to beat Hhohho Super League side Supersport 7-nil and send them out of the competition. The Minister pointed out that football is coming home if the country has youngsters such as Muzi who can score such wondrous goals.
the Times of Swaziland features him as one of four potential matchwinners in the 2010 Swazi Cup semifinals;
from 2013, the Swazi Observer reports detail of contractual difficulties the player had with his club (the general manager is also called Dlamini, which is confusing, and the player is mainly referred to by his nickname, Mzoro);
from 2014, an attack of chickenpox (!)
etc, etc. While none of this is a two-page spread in the New York Times, it does amount to ongoing coverage of the player in the national press of his country (and to some extent outside it) over at least the last five years, and illustrates that in Mr Dlamini's case, the presumption of notability afforded to senior international footballers by the
subject-specific guideline is justified. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:57, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

  • I would agree that the page is in need of improvement in being more biographical and ensuring neutral point of view but it feels like the notablility guidelines are being met.
I would disagree that the Daily Mail article constitutes a trivial mention - as stated in the guidelines "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material". Kevin Healey is mentioned and features throughout the article even though more photo space is given over to celebrities. Whilst it could be argued either way that the main topic was the celebrity support or the main topic was his campaign I don't see even the latter case equating to a trivial mention.
It is also stated that much of the information is "old" however the guidelines also tell us that "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." So it seems to me that over time signifcant coverage has been given to the subject. Pstansbu (talk) 11:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not trying to say he isn't overall not notable but it did not appear to be when I nominated it or aside Daily Mail, his third party coverage provided seems restricted to within Staffordshire. In the latest edit, he really should be thankful for In actu (Guerillero) for doing the job for him but Healey himself mounting a twitter hate campaign against me in between this and the nomination doesn't help at all.

  • Keep: I have spent a couple of hours bringing this article up to Wikipedia standards, including reference formatting, what is (and isn't) allowed under external links, rephrasing some plagiarism that was previously present, and, most importantly, adding sources to establish Kevin Healey's notability.
‣ For the benefit of newcomers to Wikipedia deletion discussions, I would like to point out that Wikipedia holds all articles to a notability standard (
reliable sources are defined as publications with editorial control and fact-checking, such as newspapers, magazines, TV news, and some book publishers
; and independent means neither the subject's own website or book, nor the websites of organizations to which they belong, nor even interviews with the subject of a Wikipedia article, can establish that person's notability as Wikipedia defines notability.
‣ For the benefit of my fellow experienced editors, I would direct your attention to the Daily Mail article (which is clearly not a "trivial mention" if you read the entire article), the ITV coverage (the video is ITV content, not the documentary itself), the two BBC News articles, and this article in The Sentinel, all of which are properly cited in the article under discussion. I agree that Healey's notability was questionable before, but I argue that it is now well-established. —]
I agree entirely with your assertion that he is no different from thousands of other activists and I have no doubt there are also many activists (probably still in the thousands) who would meet the notability criteria even more clearly than Kevin. This serves to highlight one of the great things about Wikipedia - unlike with print media we no longer have to be relative and selective to contain the publication to a certain size or length. Therefore no is no concept of ranking or saying a person with a Wikipedia page is more worthy than one without - anybody who meets the specific Wikipedia criterion for notability (summed up neatly in an earlier post) can be included. So this is all we are considering is this case.Pstansbu (talk) 15:10, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I do not consider anything here notable. Being invited to a garden party and chinwagging with queenie may be an honour, but many people have done it throughout her reign, some truly notable and worthy of articles, others not. Similarly, bearing the torch must've been a great honour, but in itself does not make the subject automatically notable. The book is as close to being self published as possible, and has not generated much hype. The Staffordshire and North Staffordshire groups seem to me regional groups with little national coverage or influence. There are many regions and many conditions, and they do not to me confer the status of notability. The one thing that did impress me was the number of Twitter followers, which at over 100,000 does indicate a following if all are genuine, however other platforms (such as YouTube) do not replicate the same level of success. I do not consider someone notable just because their tweets are picked up by a large following. And the final point on notability, and perhaps the most significant is: if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. It seems the DM article only attracted attention because of the famous names attached to it. There have been a couple of BBC news stories but they are regional ones, and finally an ITV/ITN video. Overall this does not seem to me anywhere near the significant level of coverage needed to justify a page here. Some of his charity work is good, but there are many, many tireless campaigners and charity administrators who get some recognition from within their own communities, and occasionally get mentioned in the press etc but would never warrant an article on here. I believe this is the same with this subject.

For the record, I am looking at this from a completely objective standpoint. There are no personal attacks here, I'm just stating the facts as I see them and applying the guidelines. Rayman60 (talk) 04:47, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The song fails

WP:RS sections but NSONGS says "... Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created..."; which is what is happening here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:58, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply

The result was delete. Consensus is that this doesn't need a separate article. The current material (some paragraphs about his portrayal in literature) could perhaps later be restored and merged to another article if there's consensus for that.  Sandstein  17:37, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At least 90% of the content here is identical to content found at Ali, so this article is an unnecessary duplicate. More than 80% just consist of block quotes, all of them also found at Ali. The intro makes no sense, and also seems to have been copied. If we remove the duplicate material, we're down to one or two sentences. Jeppiz (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The content needs to stay in an article somwhere. Either in this article, which has already survived two AfDs, or the Ali article, or both. The nominator is currently trying to delete the content from both articles. Softlavender (talk) 00:50, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:DUE (I'm not saying it all should be deleted), but that is a matter for later discussion. My point here is that we currently have one article that is identical to a section in another article, making it an unnecessary duplicate. Non-Muslim views on Ali is notable, and should be found on Wikipedia, but I think the article on Ali is the right place for that. And once again, it's all there already in Ali, so this AfD is simply about deleting a duplicate, not about deleting any content. Jeppiz (talk) 01:51, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply

Given your wholesale removal of the content from the Ali article 8 hours ago, and your subsequent talk page insistence on keeping it out, I am not finding that statement to be convincing. Softlavender (talk) 02:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can I note that Softlavender has been stalking me across several pages and repeatedly misrepresented my comments. At ANI she claimed I had not notified a user, which I had. She claimed I had reverted an article three times, which I had not, and now she's here assuming bad faith about the nomination, ignoring that the article is a duplicate. Anyone can check the talk page at Ali, where I discuss how to best use the material, not to keep it out. We should have this section, and we should have it in one place. Jeppiz (talk) 02:17, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jeppiz, I am not stalking you. This is an article you publicized on ANI, and you publicized
Muhammad's views on slavery (which you also publicized on ANI). At ANI I mistook your tag-teaming with the other editor as three deletions by you when only two were by you, and I noted that. I'm not ignoring the fact that this article in part duplicates some material contained in part of another article, I'm pointing up the fact that instead of trying to resolve that situation you have been insisting that the material be removed from both locations.

Not accurate. I have tried to initiate a discussion about which quotes to use [127], [128]. Jeppiz (talk) 02:49, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, Jeppiz, you deleted the section entirely, started a talk page discussion to keep it out, and tagged the entire article with a POV tag and tagged the section with an UNDUE tag. Softlavender (talk) 03:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I removed duplicate material once from Ali, then realized that that article was the proper place for it, not this one. As my talk page edits show, I've repeatedly stated we should have this material in one place (at Ali) and in proper format. You consistently misrepresent my concerns about the format as wanting to remove it all, even though I've exlained it repeatedly. Jeppiz (talk) 13:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Fully sourced and notable topic. Has already passed two AfDs. This is feeling like a bad-faith nomination to me for reasons stated above. I'm actually trying to AGF as much as possible despite the edit-warring and tag-teaming on both articles, but the worst-case scenario is that for some reason the user is trying to suppress positive viewpoints on Ali or Islam. Softlavender (talk) 02:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The above does not address the topic. As I explained, at length, the article is a duplicate. It's not about suppressing positive viewpoints, it's about not having an article that is identical to another one. Jeppiz (talk) 02:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above user is the main champion of the article, but again does not address that this is a duplicate article. I'm not suggesting deleting the original, just the copy. Jeppiz (talk) 02:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm the main champions because other users are not patrolling the article enough to point out their reasons. Previous attempt had garnered 5 or more people in the consensus. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 02:34, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the last nomination results in no consensus, the first one is 9 years old. Perhaps it was not a duplicate back then? This nomination is for the situation in 2015, not 2006. If you and

  • Comment: The main issue for me is that the topic of the article seems to be made up. The quotations are selected without any seeming rhyme or reason. Who selected the authors and quotes? Is "non-Muslim view of Ali" an object of scholarly study, rather than simply a hodgepodge of views of Ali by non-Muslims? There should be a scholarly review article which does the selecting and quoting, not random wikipedia editors. As it stands, the article is a virtual copy of the section Ali#Non-Muslim_views, and should not exist. Kingsindian  05:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response to allegations: > The main issue for me is that the topic of the article seems to be made up.
    Yes made up of the non-Muslim views of Ali.
    >The quotations are selected without any seeming rhyme or reason.
    They are selected based on the notability and knwoeldge of the author to Ali ibn Abi Talib.
    >Is "non-Muslim view of Ali" an object of scholarly study, rather than simply a hodgepodge of views of Ali by non-Muslims?
    It doesn't have to be an object of scholarly study to be featured in Wikipedia with references and sources.
    >There should be a scholarly review article which does the selecting and quoting, not random wikipedia editors.
    Why? These random editors is what helped create and made these pages flourish. That is the beauty of Wikipedia.>

That still risks being OR Synthesis, just like the current one (before it was stripped of its quotes). We have Ali in Muslim culture, Shia view of Ali and Sunni view of Ali - that should be sufficient since almost all other views will be non-faith based factual accounts or opinions about his historical importance, which are the sort of things that should be in the main article.
