The result was keep. This is, at worst, a case of no consensus, defaulting to keep--but this leans toward keep already, certainly without strong "delete" arguments. Drmies (talk) 02:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep (or delete if the subject wants it deleted, as it means that his public career is over and the article will not develop past its meagre state) ... On the keep side, I see just barely enough sources, albeit a smattering, of little ones to establish some notability. The area he is in (graffitti, hip-hop) does not lend itself well to articles in big sources like the Guardian or NyTimes. Being the subject of a film is also notable, although I did ot check the scope of the film. I think what he does is interesting, and there's just barely enough there to establish WP:GNG. But just barely. New Media Theorist (talk) 04:26, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I remember he was a somewhat prolific and widespread author and magazine writer in the 90s and then in a few movies here and there (not much of an actor, more like in the works of acquaintances). Don't have the time to do research and dig up sources right now, but agree with New Media Theorist that his work's genre (at that time) didn't lend itself to posterity and it hasn't held up, a lot of national magazines went under, such as Vibe, so doubt that there are the appropriate archives or bios still online.

• Keep. I have a vested interest as author of the page and son of the subject. Sorry for not improving the references sooner. At the time of the first suggestion of deletion I was quite ill hence not improving the references. Perhaps describing him as military historian and biographical author might have been more accurate.

I have researched references from the Imperial War Museum who hold his diaries and for whom he recorded two recorded interviews which are held and cataloged by them as part of their oral history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/41_Commando - he wrote the only history of 41 Royal Marine Commando and drew heavily on the Commando's war diaries and the testimonies of other marines, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despatch_rider - he is only one of two dispatch riders to have written memoirs and the only one from WW2, some references include: ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]} I hope this helps, but understand if you would prefer to delete. Now I am well, I am happy to review the page and add much stronger references. But understand if you would rather not have such information in your encyclopedia. Warmest, Jonathan Mitchell JazzyJ DT (talk) 21:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Additional reference material:

3 Quotes regarding Ray Mitchell's work by pertinent military figures: Major General Julian Thomson CB OBE describes the value of such diarised accounts: ‘Ray Mitchell kept a diary, which, for security reason, was forbidden. This, now lodged in the Imperial War Museum. As an author who has spent much time in the archives of the Imperial War Museum, I can vouch for the value of books based on diaries written at the time. Ray Mitchell’s book is all the more valuable as a testimony to one Royal Marine’s experiences because he can refer to his diaries as a back-up to his recall of events. ^[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Thompson_(Royal_Marines_officer)

As a member of the Royal Marines Historical Society Ray published his first non-biographical history of the 41 Commando Royal Marines (1942-46) in which Lord Paddy Ashdown GCMG, CH, KBE, PC describes how: ‘I met Ray on a visit to Newcastle I was fascinated to hear of his book. As an ex-Company Commander (Echo Company) of 41 Commando Royal Marines… This book also conveys with fondness the camaraderie of life… training and fighting together, …not least of the bravery and dedication of the men I was privileged to command. This book bears ample testimony to the fact that those men of the 41 Commando Royal Marines – have in their turn become part of that same history.’ ^[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Ashdown

Colonel J. F. Parsons OBE, MC (Troop Commander at Salerno, Commanding Officer Infantry Training Royal Marines (1967-1969) and ‘Aide de camp’ to Her Majesty the Queen) describes how ‘Raymond Mitchell has written a very good account of a proud chapter in the history of the Royal Marines‘ ^[9]

As a member of the Royal Marines Historical Society Ray published his first history book.

Sources include: A day-by-day account of the operation in Salerno (accessed from the Royal Marine Museum) prepared by Capt George Burton (Unit Adjutant and Intelligence Officer) in close contact with Maj Baker-Cresswell.

The accounts were read, passing helpful comments and additional information to underline its overall accuracy by four officers:

Capt ‘Jock’ Sharpe (Y Troop) Capt John Stewart OBE (A Troop) Capt Jim Williams (Signals Officer) Capt Jack Sultzberger (X Troop) providing a scrapbook of photographs, printed articles, press cuttings and purely ‘41’ documents including actual signals from the Salerno action.

Publications referenced: ^[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_Illustrated

Also ‘Salerno, A military Fiasco’ by Eric Morris ^[11]

However Ray elucidates that: ‘such works however, and I have read a number of others, have to be used with caution. Built up, as they generally are, from unsubstantiated personal recollections, a ‘statements of fact’ must be verified from other dependable sources before being used.’ ^[12]

Personal accounts from Commandos: ‘Rattler’ Morgan, ‘Willy’ Wilderspin, Geoff ‘Bogey’ Knight, George ‘Jock’ Brown, Cyril Barlow, Les Stokell, ‘Cliff’ Clifford, ‘Frankie-boy’ Nightingale, Eric Currie, Dick Harman, ‘Jan’ Maley, Harry Weiss, Charlie Wyatt, Tom Gratton, Jack Mason, Vic Roots, Les Rumball, George Simpson. Jim Fulton insights into the Heavy Weapons Section their and machineguns. Bill ‘Jock’ More insights into ammunition and reinforcements. Bill ‘Jock’ Hurley including his tape for Royal Marines Museum of D-Day experiences.

Royal Marines Historical Society contributions: Maj VM Bentick, Corps Historical Records Officer http://www.royalmarinesmuseum.co.uk/

For his two biographical works the diaries used were Ray’s own diaries which he describes as: ‘A motley collection of six notebooks/diaries in which entries had been made, albeit rather spasmodically, over the years. [From being] a founder member of the Commando at Llanion barracks in October 1942 and was one of the very fortunate few to be still around and still with the Unit, when it was finally disbanded in January 1946.’ ^[13] Jonathan Mitchell JazzyJ DT (talk) 11:32, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Appears to be a hoax. No references to this writer with his supposed work, Instructions, has been found. For someone who supposedly had work published in French and German periodicals, and has a reputation "growing more and more in the world of French poetry" for 15 years, the absence of evidence is telling. A couple of references to "Consuela Wittmann" appear on since-deleted pages on Vimeo and YouTube, listing Consuela Wittmann as a supposed poet who died in 1942 and the aunt of a "Pieyre Wittmann." The latter appears to be an obscure performer or band with a supposed work titled "Oisals," also the name of the removed Vimeo video. Given the total lack of other evidence, it's tempting to believe this article may be a hoax designed to provide a backstory for some kind of project (perhaps a music video?).

• As always, unelected candidates in forthcoming elections do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article before becoming a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. But being mayor of a town of 7K is not enough to demonstrate that he was already eligible for an article, either. Delete, without prejudice against recreation on October 19 if he wins.

• Delete, subjects claim of notability as an unelected federal candidate and the mayor of a small town is not enough to warrant an article at this point in time.

No sources have been found that features or mentions this person, at least as a member of the House of Keys, so I'm suspecting this as a hoax. Interestingly, for years from the article creation there was a piece of information about a supposed affair scandal that led to his elimination from Tynwald. That was removed few years ago because it's not sourced. In September 2006 the first mention of his servants was added, starting with two. July 2009 adds another one, but by August 2009 the servants are five with none from the first three, which lasted until the unsourced text removal. Article was also left with vandalism for nearly a month in July and August 2009, not counting the servants that lasted. TheGGoose (talk) 16:15, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Appears to be a long-lived hoax, used chiefly as a platform for assorted vandalistic edits. No references for the subject anywhere outside Wikipedia and mirrors. The Tynwald includes a list of House of Keys members that is thought to be complete from 1585 onward, and no individual named Burkhart is mentioned there.

Dear

WP:COI policy. If you still feel some wrong practice were followed, i request you to share your thoughts and feedback regarding the mentioned issue with article Advaiya

and provide some suggestions about how can i help improve quality of this article and Wikipedia as whole.

• User:Vishal0soni, Can you please provide me the details of contributions that makes you think that your company deserves an encyclopedic place. How it has served industry to make it a better place? Looking at the details, it one of millions companies that works on client's outsourcing projects with a single motive to make money. How about Manish Godha page, why do you feel these are encyclopedic topics? You have not only conflict of interest, but I have found that most of your other articles are written from personal point of view. It clear from here, that you have been editing the page with your Company owner's instructions ie removing one owner name and changing employee strength from 60 to 80. Can you please clarify why one owner was removed from the page? Or is it because the other owner asked to remove him. Your company has no contributions to be included in the Wikipedia, this is certainly not a place to promote your company which is similar to every Microsoft partner company.

No major news mentions and it looks like a puffery. Created by a possible spammer with WP:COI arguments, Salt and burn Ireneshih (talk) 06:46, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ireneshih (talk). There are several aspects due to which i believe that articles like Advaiya should get a place on Wikipedia. This company has a very good local presence, and is working on my initiatives of great importance (maybe not at international level, but for national level). For this reason, it has got coverage from many national level media channels like India Infoline Ltd, EconomicTimes, ITVoice, EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. and so on. It has a employed over 150 employees over a history of over 10 years (ref: https://www.linkedin.com/company/3235279?trk=prof-exp-company-name). Moreover, in this article, i have not focused on any marketing promotions, but tried to highlight the key initiatives like ActionUdaipur, that brings good change in the society, and AdvaiyaLabs, that involves innovative work with globally renowned institutions like Indian Institute of Management Udaipur.

Also, we take this article as a part of a bigger initiative. Actually our aim is to promote information and awareness about Udaipur related topics, including its locations, tourism, economy etc. To cover the economy aspect, we plan to cover many other similar organizations having good regional presence and impact, including many competitors of Advaiya (see Template:Companies_based_in_Udaipur for details). I have added your suggestions as guidelines, which we will be following during future efforts. Please let us know if we can do anything else to further improve the quality of these articles. Vishal0soni (talk) 09:02, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vishal0soni, To be honest, I complete disagree to your statement that company is notable. There are no contributions, that makes Advaiya notable, Infact there are mere mentions in your said sources. Following are the answers to your statements

Hey Ireneshih(talk). I noticed all the edits made by you in past few days, and i think i got the point you imply. I think there is some difference in perception about notability and reliability of content sources. What i feel is reliable and notable, may not hold same trust levels for you. I had marked all the content with appropriate references, but i think i would need to provide some more 'reliable' reference to match up with your expectations, for which i might need some more time. but here are the answers for your questions:

1. This company has a very good local presence, and is working on my initiatives of great importance (maybe not at international level, but for national level). Ans:- Do you have any reliable source to prove it?

Here are a few ( i guess all local sources for now)

• “Jewels of Udaipur” unveils Top Businesses of Udaipur
• Advaiya Labs announced as the Technology Mentor for IIMU PRARAMBH-2015

2. It has a employed over 150 employees over a history of over 10 years (ref: https://www.linkedin.com/company/3235279?trk=prof-exp-company-name). Ans:- Do you have any reliable source to prove it? How does it makes your company eligible for an encyclopedic entry?

Here is something that might match your required levels notability:

• Mantra to success: How Manish Godha built a Rs 6 crore technology marketing company
• Manish Godha, CEO and Founder, Advaiya

3. But tried to highlight the key initiatives like ActionUdaipur, that brings good change in the society, and AdvaiyaLabs, Ans:- Do you have any reliable source to prove it? If yes, how they have been appreciated by the national and international media?

I think there are still some sources that were not included in original article, but not sure if they satisfies your definition of reliability:

• | Action Udaipur – Makeover of a city
• Bus stand cleaned under ActionUdaipur Initiative
• ActionUdaipur: Sardarpura Park gets new life
• Register for ‘Green Clean City’ Initiative
• [Advaiya Labs announced as the technology mentor for IIMU PRARAMBH-2015 http://www.franchiseindia.com/entrepreneur/news/Advaiya-Labs-announced-as-the-technology-mentor-for-IIMU-PRARAMBH-2015-6024/]

It looks like you are very active in Udaipur, my next question is when you are going to create article for much bigger companies like Arcgate and eConnect nearby to your own

My suggestion will be to read wikipedia policies mentioned on your talk page here, before adding any more spam or non-reliable content. I have reviewed Template:Companies_based_in_Udaipur, where no IT company qualifies for a WIkipedia page. Please do not create pages by adding Udaipur to their name as they already have a Wikipedia page. If you want, please go ahead and expand the current pages instead of creating Duplicate pages.

This article has been tagged as unsourced since 2009. I found one album review on line, as well as several upcoming event listings. I also found a couple of references to another band of the same name in Washington, DC. It doesn't seem as though there's been much media coverage of this band or their albums. —Anne Delong (talk) 10:06, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No evidence that the band meets any of the twelve criteria set forth in
  WP:NMUSIC. By the way, the band's web site says they're playing this Saturday (the 26th) at a barbecue joint in Mt. Pilot, North Carolina. If you're in the neighborhood, go on down ... you might meet Opie. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply

there is no clear unambiguous definition of "close relations". LibStar (talk) 17:59, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR.

What is the criteria used to define what 'close' is? Are there social, economic, political, historical, geographic factors which make something 'close'? Do all of these countries share a set of common criteria or are they 'close' for different reasons? If so what is the common criteria? Right now there is merely an assertion of 'closeness' without any clear definition of what that means. It is Europe, all of the countries have 'close' relations with each other and have done since there have been countries there. That is what I mean when I say the criteria for inclusion is ill-defined.

As to the split from Nordic countries I do not see any discussion about that on either talk page. Is there some discussion that can be linked to so we can understand the reasons behind the split? Jbh^Talk 18:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply

• re: "clear unambiguous definition" - for the purposes of wikipedia, if there are sources which say "country A has close relations with country B", it is a clear and unambiguous statement regardless what source had in mind.

• re "close for different reasons" - Irrelevant. re "coherent group" - irrelevant. It is not wikipedian's job to interpret sources. Whatever definition used by a source, the phrasing "close relations" clearly indicates an aspect which makes the discussion of country A relevant to Nordic countries. In real world many things are not as clear cut as in maths. (speaking of maths, there is the whole theory of

• re: "Europe, all of the countries have 'close' relations with each other" - No, not all. Anyway, an encyclopedic article deals not only with today, but with history. And some countries indeed had rather tight relations compared to others.

You said the article was split from

EU can be considered to have 'close' relations with one or more Nordic countries. What makes France different from Italy in this list? Having open borders, free trade and a common currency with one or more Nordic countries is 'close', why is having some Viking Settlers from 1100 years ago the distinguishing feature of 'closeness' that puts one country in the article and not the other??!!??

Per "not a list article". OK Countries which border the Nordic countries plus France - same question. Jbh^Talk 00:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply
