Non-notable BLP. None of the sources discuss the subject except in passing and only in relation to the company. The subject lacks sufficient coverage, and is largely unsourced. Bilby (talk) 23:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - and possibly merge. Web search reveals only social media profiles, the odd financial filing reports regarding the company, and little else. The company itself doesn't seem notable (but that's a conversation for another AfD). As Bilby says, sources are about the company anyway. It also reads like an autobiography, and more specifically like a LinkedIn page (WP:ANYBIO - no significant award (the award mentioned is "Emerging market leader" for the company (under it's former name), where he is mentioned as 'Sean Zar'? in a not particularly notable publicationm, and no obvious significant contribution to the field. If the company is notable, I'd suggest merging a short bio as a section (a lot of the content is promotional) Ollysay hi 16:00, 16 February 2016 (UTC)]

- But it doesn't pass WP:GAMECRUFT #5 (class and attack type), #6 (most of the sources don't comment on the heroes themselves, but are either guides or their opinion), and #7 (obvious). None of the heroes are independently notable, and a list of them on the main article would be removed, so how does having an independent, but terribly written article, sidestep that? This page belongs on the Dota wiki, not Wikipedia. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 02:01, 20 February 2016 (UTC)]

- I don't think there's any sort of rule that says guides can't be used as sources, only that wp can't be written AS one. Also, most of the sources very much do talk directly about the heroes as a grouping or even about specific heroes. Perhaps WP:LISTGLOSSARY can satisfy this article for notability? It is essentially just a list of terms.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:09, 20 February 2016 (UTC)]

Not a notable organization by our standards, notwithstanding a few mentions in the press--which don't seem to discuss the organization in any depth. Drmies (talk) 21:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is one of the most famous campus student organisations in the southern hemisphere. Its ructions (and there have been many) have made mainstream news (in significant detail) many, many times, and I'm not remotely exaggerating there: I saw this and was like "uh, you nominated what?". If you were trying to make some point by nominating a student union for deletion, you sure picked about the worst conceivable example in this end of the world. (For context, this editor nominated the Monash University student union, an organisation with a UC Berkeley-like history that is ridiculously well reported on in all manner of sources, for speedy deletion, which shows the level of diligence that went on beforehand.) The Drover's Wife (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - I think it's the nature of Student Unions that their activities are inward, thus not covered extensively by the press - regardless, this one seems to have quite a few mentions nationally, appears to have been mentioned in parliamentary debate, and exists in a notable university representing 42,000 students. If this criteria is applied, a lot more student unions would be nominated. The article definitely needs a lot of work, and doesn't appear to be have been extensively updated for some time, so keep and improve. Not totally familiar, so open to thoughts to merge Ollysay hi 23:16, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Mentions in parliamentary debate, that may help, if you have some secondary sources to verify this--or to verify anything about its importance. The best verified thing here seems to be some commentary about Mrs. Thatcher, verified with one mention in a newspaper. Drmies (talk) 01:38, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Can you see that mass-AfDing a bunch of notable organisations instead of asking politely is going to get you off on the wrong foot if you're genuinely interested in seeing these topics fixed? This article doesn't need mentions in parliamentary debate, because it's about the lowest-quality of source on the subject; in this particular case, where major widely-reported stuff went down a year or two before our newspapers started publishing all their articles after that in Google for free (and that is not remotely the union's claim to notability, just the most obviously major news thing that happened last decade), you could have saved us all the trouble by going through Factiva before nominating everything in sight for deletion or making any kind of attempt at research. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:19, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'll just add what I was able to find regarding parliamentary debates[1][2], as I've made all other points above. I'll concede the reference is sort of fleeting, but the organisation is notable enough to be mentioned and understood. The context isn't readily available due to the nature of release of old Hansard. I'll add that many other much less notable organisations are kept on less, and within the context of education and universities in Australia, I'd be hard-pressed not to find this notable. For the sake of completeness of the encylopedia, I think this needs to stay Ollysay hi 08:25, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Just in case that isn't enough, let me point out that Factiva has 472 newspaper hits for the union, many of them focused directly on the subject. I'd also point out that Factiva's coverage gets really patchy in Australia before 2000, and this is an organisation that has been around and prominent since 1887.

Glamour Solos

Fails NFILM and the GNG, and violates WP:NOTDIR. "Best Solo Release" (aka something like "Outstanding Achievement in Masturbation") falls well below the NFILM standard of "a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking". No independent sourcing, reliable or otherwise. Just a WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of castlists. The article just bristles with unacceptable content -- original research inaccurately conflating three different video series with similar titles into a single line, cut-and-pasted promotional copy, wretched sourcing. It also achieves new depths of porn related stupidity: among its listed notable female performers are male professional poker player Kenna James and former major league baseball player Randy Moore, who is apparently masturbating posthumously. There's no reason to salvage anything from this mess. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Delete- As per Hullaballoo. A web search shows nothing but where to watch it - porn and streaming sites. The series is on IMDb, but what isn't - also the IMDb entries are nothing but cast lists, no ratings, no reviews. Would struggle to find what criteria it meets atWP:XXX can offer a different perspective,]I just don't see how this is notable or valuable to the encyclopediaOllysay hi 22:22, 15 February 2016 (UTC)- Keep - changed from delete as per clarifying comments from Erpert and Rebecca1990 - I think i underestimated the notability of AVNs. Thanks for the insights, I suppose porn has a different context to mainstream filmography that must be considered. The rest of my comment still stands re promotional, but the awards make the article notable, thanks guys Ollysay hi 09:01, 17 February 2016 (UTC)]

- Keep. I think "Best Solo Release" is getting confused with "Best Solo Sex Scene"; although the latter has been determined to not pass notability by itself, I have yet to find a consensus stating that the former doesn't. And the argument that there is no independent sourcing is inaccurate; the only way it would apply is if all the sources came from girlfriendsfilms.net—and frankly, this is a common mistake that comes up in porn-related deletion discussions: as I hinted at here, the subject of the article is Glamour Solos, not pornography (pornography is the category). There are plenty of independent sources from AVN, XBIZ, etc. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 09:25, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

- Comment. Please identify any discussion supporting your claim. Neither WP:NFILM nor any pertinent discussion on its talk page supports your claim that all AVN Awards inherently meet the NFILM standard of a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking, or that an AVN Award in a narrow, down-level category like "Best Solo Release" (ie, masturbation video) is legitimately considered a major award. The complete absence of independent coverage of that award so plainly belies the argument. Since NFILM is careful to state that its award criterion is merely a "rule of thumb", a less reliable indicator than found in other SNGs, and that independent third-party sourcing is required, the lack of such sourcing compels deletion.

Created by the eponymous SPA User:Eketfront in April 2015, and they haven't edited since. Frankly, if I'd come across it at an earlier stage, I'd have speedied it. It appears the only reason the previous AfD was closed as "no consensus" was the complete lack of interest. It was "relisted to generate a more thorough discussion" twice, fruitlessly.

- Delete - It really does read like a brochure -"It was commenced with the releasing of the conference proceedings by our guests Dr. Robert Stevans". At first I thought the event itself might be notable, but with poor content, but there really doesn't seem to much mention of it online. Personally, it seems 'international' is slightly misleading.

I would wager that this organisation will no doubt be notable in the future, but they need to be in Wikipedia because of what they do, not what they may do - and they were only founded a month ago.

SwisterTwister, around 10% of the I2P network uses i2pd and keeps growing, I believe it is an "applicable notability" meaning 1000+ routers.

Harsh, the only way to verify this statement is to run an I2P floodfill and collect some stats, e.g. you must do it inside I2P. You can's find any sources mentioning i2pd? Let me help. Try to search "#i2pd" in twitter, you will find a lot. Go to I2P main page, "Privacy solutions" section, it's there for a long time. "Except Russian blogs" sounds discriminating, doesn't it? Please, don't merge to the main I2P article, because it's completely different and independent project, delete it instead. Let's wait until it will take more that 50% of the network and I hope you and other guys will fill ashamed for statements like "Publishing the code on github does not warrant a stand-alone article" for the prject that exists more than 2 years and has a lot of customers including business. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I2porignal (talk • contribs) 20:04, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

- No, I oppose the renaming of List of climate change initiatives to List of climate change mitigation initiatives. No one on Earth in the year 2016 is suggesting that we should be changing the climate. Every climate change initiative currently on the board is for coping with or preventing uncontrollable climate change. That being said, we should keep the article as what it's referred to by in the press, etc. Google pulls up approx. 158,000 hits on "climate change initiatives"; "climate change mitigation initiatives" generates 9,800. Finally, keep article titles as short as are useful. J♯m (talk | contribs) 20:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

As stated above others are aware of more RS on the subject, so this article will no doubt eventually grow and be fully fleshed out from its recent infancy of a disambiguation page.
- The one major advantage of the name "Climate Action Plan" over List of climate change initiatives is that it is simple and simple to Google, making it useful to those seeking information. When I Googled "Climate Action Plan", our article came first and I did not notice the other one. My guess is that the name "Climate Action Plan" developed from a diverse group of names, and now that is the name most commonly being used, which is why the other article is so old. For that reason, I am inclined to want to keep this one as a major source of information and so it still comes up in Google, and possibly move the bulk of the information from the other article (rather than the other way), unless there is something distinct that differentiates the two and then both should be developed separately. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

- The above four articles are all relatively confusing in any differentiation.
- I suggest the best course of action is to look at them as a group, and not whether or not individually the should be deleted, merged, or rewritten.
- May I suggest then that:
- Climate Action be merged into Climate change mitigationwith a redirect from Climate A/action to Climate change mitigation.
- Climate change mitigation describes/defines what a Climate Action Plan is in a section with a link to the article List of Climate Action Plans
- Rename Climate Action Plan to List of Climate Actions Plans (CAP)s
- Climate Action Plan redirects to the section in point 2 above.
- Climate change mitigation also in another section describes generally what climate change initiatives are, whether or not they are in documented specific CAPs, with a link to the article List of climate change initiatives. CAPs are the particular jurisdictions combinations of climate change mitigation initiatives and why that jurisdiction believes that combination is best for them. Climate change mitigation initiatives could be and are common/shared between jurisdictions.

I submitted a number of extra sources and asked for your helpintegrating these sources. Now you submit this deletion proposal, completely ignoring the extra sources I provided and my request for your help integrating them. For reference, let me copy the sources I cited before:
- Theo Besteman (13 September 2010). "Symbaloo start aanpasbare startpagina met slot" (in Dutch). De Telegraaf. Retrieved 21 January 2016.
- "Startpagina Symbaloo voorgeïnstalleerd op Toshiba computers" (in Dutch). Emerce. Retrieved 21 January 2016. ("Start page Symbaloo preinstalled on Toshiba computers")
- "Appreview: Symbaloo" (in Dutch). Nu.nl. Retrieved 21 January 2016.
- "Make a Modular Start Page with Symbaloo". Lifehacker.com. Retrieved 21 January 2016.

- "Inlogproblemen plagen nieuwe Symbaloo". Emerce.nl (in Dutch). Retrieved 21 January 2016.
- These sources clearly show notability. There's coverage from Emerce, De_Telegraaf, Webwereld and Lifehacker, which are all reliable and independent media. Furthermore: when I visited the IPON 2016 fair last week, there was nobody who did not know the name Symbaloo. Michieldewit (talk) 19:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- First of all, my sincere apologies to you, Michieldewit. You posted a list of sources to the article's talk page, and asked me for help. I said that I wouldn't have time to deal with your request properly for at least a few days, but, knowing that I might forget, invited you to come back and remind me in a few days. I duly forgot to come back to it, and you didn't remind me. Yesterday, when I re-discovered the article, I did not remember that you had posted sources on the article's talk page, or that I had said I would look at them. I do apologise for my mistake.
- I have now checked the sources which Michieldewit posted to the talk page, and which he has now linked to again on this page, and here follows my analysis of them. The first link is the same one that is in the article, and which I listed as number 5 in my original post above. The second is a report that the company had announced that Symbaloo was now being preinstalled on some computers sold in Europe. The third is a 7-sentence description of what Symbaloo does.

- Delete - I can't see that there is anything about London bus routes which gives them an inherent notability to have an article in their own right. For one thing, unlike railway lines, there are a lot more of them, and usually a lot less to say about them. In the usual way, we'd be looking for independent secondary sources and coverage, of which I'm not seeing anything. JMWt (talk) 13:57, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The article is sufficiently notable to warrant retention, and aside from the 1st paragraph is now all cited. This seems more a case of I just don't like it. Given the wide array of editors that have contributed to the various London bus route articles, there seems to be at least a degree of interest.
- Given that these AFDs seem to appear randomly, perhaps a more encompassing discussion at London Buses route 390, have been redirected, while relatively minor outer suburban routes, e.g. London Buses route K5, remain. 11Expo (talk) 06:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)]

- NOTDIRECTORY, NOTTRAVEL and NOTGUIDE have no application to this article. That policy would likely forbid the inclusion of a timetable or ticket prices, but not the sort of information in the article, which is mainly about tenders and the location of the route. I am going to suggest that this page be kept as a standalone article because the Transport for London sources are plainly suitable, the information they include belongs in the encyclopedia, and merging it into the list of routes would be less convenient than keeping it apart, as it would make the list much longer and therefore harder to navigate. The TFL sources are independent because they do not actually operate the buses; a private company does that. As government sources on a relatively uncontroversial topic, I expect they will be objective. James500 (talk) 09:32, 19 February 2016 (UTC) For the avoidance of doubt, I should clarify that AVOIDSPLIT allows us, for organisational reasons, to spin off list material without regard to notability. I should also point out that the word "cruft" is the worst non argument possible that basically adds up to "I don't like it". In any event, the location of the route, as a line on a map, falls within the scope of our gazetteer function and, as for the tenders, I expect that our readers will be interested in what is being done with 'public money' (indeed, that is why the process is done openly) and in who is operating the buses. I should also point out that Wikia is not a WMF project, so we cannot say "better on Wikia" as that would be COI. We would have to point to a WMF owned project.

Note for closing editor There may be a case of bad faith
In fairness to the editor, she did ping editors who had voted both for and against on that discussion.

- I had seen this on my watchlist anyway,but I sometimes give some time for editors to produce any significant secondary sources for notability before opting for deletion. I believe Jeni was acting in good faith.Charles (talk) 09:14, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- I was one of those canvassed and consider that this was quite improper. There have been many deletion discussions for London bus routes over the years and so to canvass the opinions of only one such discussion was tendentious. It seems fairly clear that London buses are generally quite notable because they are a major historical institution for that city and there is a fair amount of coverage out there -- books, magazines, societies, museums, &c. The main issue is the level of detail in our coverage and that's not really a deletion question as it's best resolved by ordinary editing, merger, and the like. Andrew D. (talk) 09:33, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
- Take your tinfoil hat off and WP:CAN(The guideline which you cited), specifically the "Appropriate Notification" section:
On the user talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include: Editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics) The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. Do not send notices to too many users, and do not send messages to users who have asked not to receive them.
- It's unreasonable to expect me to go through every London Bus route AfD, especially since the discussion I used appeared to be the only one within the last year. Even the other section you quote, WP:VOTESTACK, backs up what I did as appropriate. If you were to actually read the notices that I left people, you wouldn't be assuming bad faith. And just FYI, I will do exactly the same thing at the next similar AfD. Jeni (talk) 10:40, 21 February 2016 (UTC)]

- As Altamel has correctly pointed out, the catacombs of Malta clearly satisfy GNG and are notable as a group. A search, especially in GBooks, for "catacombs in malta", "catacombs of malta" and cognate expressions confirms this very quickly. There may be a need for a separate list, in addition to an article on the "Catacombs of Malta" as there are said to be "many" catacombs there (eg by "The Mirror of Literature"). I should also point out that we do have standalone articles for the catacombs of London, Paris, Rome and other cities. Although Malta is a republic, it is actually smaller than, or similar in size to, those cities, so it seems reasonable to treat the catacombs as a group as they are relatively close to each other. "Better as a category" arguments fail NOTDUP. James500 (talk) 05:41, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have gone ahead and effected a bold page move to the obvious parent title, "Catacombs of Malta". As sources say that there are several hundred catacombs, it is likely that the list will have to be spun out again, though there isn't much point in doing that while it only has six entries. I do not, however, support the merger of the three daughter articles on individual catacombs or groups of catacombs at this time. Those articles are already sourced, there are a large number of sources that could be added to them, there are so many sources on the maltese catacombs that I suspect there is no prospect of fitting all the information in a single article, and the three daughter articles are already quite lengthy. I am also under the impression that shorter articles are less expensive for our readers to download. I have also left a comment on Talk:Citta Vecchia about the need for disambiguation of that page. James500 (talk) 21:58, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Less expensive"? I thought this was Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia; the last time I checked, none of our articles are paywalled. Or do you mean "expensive" in a different context? Altamel (talk) 04:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- @User:Altamel: There is a paywall round the entire internet. One has to pay one's phone company to access the internet in the first place, and some of them charge according to the amount of data downloaded or set limits on the amount of data that can be downloaded. [Even if one can use the internet for free at a public library, one has to pay transport costs (petrol, bus/train fare etc) to get there in the first place (and it will not be open all day every day, and some libraries try to censor parts of the site, etc etc etc), so that isn't necessarily better]. So forcing people to download the whole of a large article, when they only want a small part of it, is not a good idea. James500 (talk) 06:45, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Theoretically, that's an interesting argument. But practically, I doubt that the marginal difference in cost between loading several small articles as opposed to the whole of a large article is greater than a few ten-thousandths of a cent—and I challenge you to prove me wrong, if you are able to do so. I think it is better if we make arguments based on relevant policy (e.g. notability, WP:PERFORMANCE of data download cost. But I agree that I don't currently see the need to merge the other catacomb articles into this list. The three existing articles on the tombs are already large enough that they would take up a substantial amount of space in the list were they to be merged.

- Move and rework, or merge, would be better than deletion. It seems to me that "stacking toys" (such as rings, blocks and cups) and "stacking play" are obviously notable, with many sources in GBooks etc, but we (bizarrely) don't have an article on them. There are a number of sources in GBooks that discuss the phenomena of children stacking chess pieces (remove the speech marks from the search term to find them), and our article says there is coverage in Chess Life (Aug 1987) and Searching for Bobby Fischer. It seems to me that, if we do not think this should have a standalone article (no comment on that yet), the correct solution would be to move it and rework it so that it is about stacking toys and play generally. Alternatively, we could merge it to a broader article about chess. Like most things, it is clearly part of a notable broader topic. James500 (talk) 12:55, 14 February 2016 (UTC) The content of the article is not an essay (it contains no significant expressions of personal opinion, at least none that are not so minor can't be easily fixed (WP:PRESERVE); it certainly doesn't consist more or less entirely of such content, which is the actual test) nor it is a how to (it contains no instructions or advice expressed in the imperative mood, which again is the actual test). It is sourced, citing a magazine and a film as references. Much of it could be cited to other sources. I should also point out that 'essay' and 'how to' are not arguments for outright deletion. They are arguments for transwiki to our sister project Wikiversity, which accepts both. And the article isn't particularly short either. James500 (talk) 01:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete- This article is a very short unsourced essay and howto guide about putting one chess piece on top of another. Even assuming, arguendo, that the concept of placing one toy on top of another is notable so that we could write an article, it's clear that this article is not it, nor would any of its current content be mergeable there. Reyk YO! 13:28, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - There's nothing of substance here. That a magazine about chess has, at some point, mentioned the phenomenon of people intentionally placing chess pieces on top of each other makes it as notable as Clicking chess pieces together, Twirling pawns between fingers, Throwing chess pieces at kibitzers, or Accidentally knocking over a rook. All that said, I agree that there's a potential article along the lines of stacking (play), but this is not a starting point for that article. It's possible chess pieces could be mentioned in such an article, but there are untold numbers of objects children stack such that it doesn't seem like there's anything to say about chess pieces and stacking that you couldn't say about checkers, playing cards, pots and pans, or cookies. We do have articles for toy block and construction set, which seem like more sensible places to build out the concept of stacking. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:05, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

It means "not-vote". These discussions look like votes, and sometimes play out as a vote, but they're not.

Also, I think the nom's arguments are flawed: the first and third points aren't reasons to delete; I don't think GNG is a problem, as a cursory Google search brings up plenty of lists of fictional locations; and the fourth point is addressed by the article's lead, which makes clear that this isn't an all-inclusive list of every town in every video game.

GTA's cities in particular have even been the subject of academic and mainsteam articles (e.g. The Guardian - From Watch Dogs to GTA V, why 'video games are going to reshape our cities').
- TL;DR - There are more than enough sources for the group to satisfy WP:LISTN. There are plenty of sources to justify entries' notability for the purpose of inclusion despite not having a stand-alone article. This is a very well covered subject, even if the list as it stands today needs work. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)]

- I disagree. I do not believe cruft can be dealt with by moving it around, any more than you can clean your bedroom by shoving all the clutter under your bed or putting it into another room. Lists don't need to be complete right this instant, but it should be possible to have a usefully complete one in principle and I just don't see that being possible here. Broadening the scope of the article to dodge OR issues won't help here either because then it would become too indiscriminate. You'd still have the problem of a uselessly incomplete list but, perversely, it would also be too vast and sprawling to be navigable. Reyk YO! 15:24, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- I don't find analogies that rely on a premise of an unqualified "it's cruft" helpful. The question isn't what to do with cruft, it's whether the list in question is an appropriate and notable list subject. Whether someone fills it with a pile of trivia -- or whether someone could do that -- is irrelevant to AfD except in the most extreme circumstances (which this obviously is not). Also "it should be possible to have a usefully complete one in principle and I just don't see that being possible here", if I understand you correctly, is also problematic. Most lists are not only incomplete but intended to never be complete. Lists of groups of people, lists of people by profession, lists of bands, lists of companies, lists of songs, lists of works of art, etc. -- these lists exist despite having no chance of being exhaustive or complete because it's possible to set an inclusion criteria to make them encyclopedic. We don't delete list of hip hop artists on the basis of it never being complete and people spamming it all the time, for example. So I don't understand this idea that a list which is so conceptually broad needs to be "complete" rather than needs to be well sourced and notable, with a clear inclusion criteria (all of which, as I've explained, are very clearly possible). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:16, 16 February 2016 (UTC)]
- Many lists are complete, and the better the prospects for completeness the more useful the list. For example, list of hip hop artists is also complete-ish, in the sense that one can be confident of containing all these artists down to some minimum level of fame or wealth. It only starts getting patchy and spammy around the more obscure artists. Such a list is still useful, but not as much as a complete and well-defined one. Lists like A sampling of fictional locations selected arbitrarily and randomly, however, are very useless. There is no prospect of discriminate coverage, even in principle. You'll inherently get some fictional universes covered in excruciating detail, while others are ignored entirely. There is no natural ordering or tendency to ensure the most relevant and important entries get listed. It really is just a random sampling, and this is useless. Producing an entirely new list does not solve that problem, it just dodges the OR issue while also adding the problem of the list becoming too huge to be navigable. "Lists of fictional X" are among the worst and most embarrassing content Wikipedia has, and should be culled severely. Reyk YO! 08:52, 17 February 2016 (UTC)]
- The first couple times I read this I struggled finding any connection between it and our policies/guidelines. Yeah, the periodic table is a list about a fixed set. Ditto sovereign states. And the alphabet, an band's discography, Academy Award winners, Presidents, etc. Lists like this one and like list of hip hop artists are not fixed sets. There's no such thing as "completeish" in this case. There's no way to tell if list of hip hop artists actually includes people above a certain level of fame (whatever that even means), and there's no policy/guideline which says that sense of completeishness has anything to do with whether they're an appropriate list. However, I think what you may mean is that there's no way to set reasonable inclusion criteria that will give us an encyclopedic list of reasonable length. That is, of course, a reasonable concern for a list. So I'll take a stab at one so we can talk about it in terms of "completeness": The list of fictional video game locations should include every notable fictional video game location as determined by multiple reliable sources which cover the location in depth (and outside of e.g. level guides/game walkthroughs -- we're talking about the location).. That seems like a pretty stringent criteria in terms of keeping out "cruft". — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:59, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

- It would be inexhaustive. "Location" can mean anything. To give you an example: Tamriel (Engadget, Time), which consists of 9 provinces. Morrowind was set in Morrowind, (Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Eurogamer) Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil (Game Informer, Game Zone). It didn't took me long to look up these fictional locations, and I'm not even at the town, cities or encampments. And this is just one video game series. --Soetermans.

- WP:LISTNdoesn't say we can disregard notability. "Notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list."

- How in the world can anything be a location? Rapture and Hyrule are both obviously notable locations. What difference does it make to its inclusion in this list if its name and basic definition (a world in the Zelda games) hasn't changed? If by "anything can be a location" you're saying that a particular pixel, shop, street, cloud, or coordinate can be a location, that's obviously what the inclusion criteria and list definition would set forth. After all, we have plenty of other lists of fictional places. See Category:Lists of fictional cities (video games is one of 7 in that category). Likewise, all of those sources that talk about cities/towns/universes/worlds in video games manage to do so in a coherent way, because after all, if we're requiring sources talking about the locations, those sources aren't going to accidentally write about some random shop or street such that "anything" could be on the list. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:29, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

- While New York City exists, Manhattan's "Fabletown" does not. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl a second meltdown devastates the Ukrainian countryside. In Mass Effect our Galaxy has seen countless of wars and disturbances and has alien technology. Still "real locations"? --Soetermans. T / C 23:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- Chernobyl and the Milky Way Galaxy are real locations no matter how inaccurately they are depicted. As far as I can see, "Fabletown" is fictional as there is no such place as Bullfinch Street, New York. James500 (talk) 00:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- So no matter how inaccurately they are depicted, when a real location is featured in a video game, that's not fictional. Fictional locations have to be completely made up? What if a name is changed slightly, like Neo-Paris, is that fictional or not? Or what about the Capital Wasteland, which is based upon the old Washington D.C. area? In the game, set in 2277, it was nuked 200 years before and it has a different name, but you can walk around the National Mall. It's not Washington D.C. anymore though.

- I'm still not seeing it. Looking at the criteria there:
- whether the book is published by an academic press: doesn't seem to be. Focal Press appears to be a commercial publisher.
- how widely the book is cited by other academic publications...: no sign of that.
- ...or in the media: I don't see that either. Plenty of reviews, but no citations. I checked Google Scholar, and it says 10 cites, which isn't all that much. I spot checked a couple, and they didn't pan out (for example, the cite in Single-camera video production is just one line in a list of what looks like close to 100 books in a "Futher Reading" chapter -- it's not cited for authority. Some I checked don't seem to reference it at all.
- the number of editions of the book: Well it's on its fourth edition, so that's something.
- whether one or more translations of the book have been published: Worldcat shows only English-language editions.
- how influential the book is considered to be in its specialty area, or adjunct disciplines: I don't see anything in the article, or from my own (admittedly cursory) search about its influence in the field. Has the book changed how sound is recorded?
- whether it is, or has been, taught, or required reading, in one or more reputable educational institutions: This is one area where you've documented some schools that use it. But it's not that long of a list, and every textbook is used in classrooms somewhere. I think more is needed here. Do you have anything showing it's the primary textbook in its field, with more academic market penetration than other textbooks in the same field? or that it's so authoritative it's considered effectively the one text that everyone uses?
- What I do see here is that "Author Jay Rose is an Emmy-award winning sound professional." That doesn't make the book notable (WP:NOTINHERITED); but perhaps Rose himself is sufficiently notable to merit an article, and a that article could include a paragraph on the book.
- Just thinking out loud here; I'm not sure Rose would pass either. In any case, I should probably shut up and have others opine. TJRC (talk) 01:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Producing Great Sound for Digital Video
Jay Rose (1999, Miller Freeman Books, San Francisco, CA 94105, 349pp., $40)
With PBS and Turner Network Television production experience under his belt, author Jay Rose brings a wealth of experience to Producing Great Sound for Digital Video.
Producing Great Sound is a manual for creating digital audio for Mac and Windows users that matches the growing capabilities of digital video and nonlinear editing systems. Rose suggests that the book will enjoy a long shelf life since, "The techniques of good sound dont change."
Although the price of the book is a bit steep, you get what you pay for. With over 300 pages and many illustrations, the book is replete with facts and useful information. Rose covers the physics of sound, as well as important step-by-step instructions for everything from using microphones in the studio and on location to editing voices and music. Hes even included a CD-ROM of samples, diagnostic tools and tutorials to enhance the book.

Producing Great Sound for Digital Video
(2nd Edition) 428 pages (includes CD)
By Jay Rose
You have your script, a DV camera, and dozens of audio tracks available in Final Cut Pro 3. Eventually, you will get around to hiring a sound engineer, but if that's too expensive maybe you'll just save the money and do the sound yourself. Hey, it's a lot easier than lighting the set, right? Wrong. Shortchanging film sound is typical of new filmmakers, and the emphasis on picture over sound is a bias running through film schools and film publications — articles, books, and courses on visual subjects far outnumber those on film sound. Author Jay Rose is single-handedly addressing the problem.
Just released in its second edition, Rose's Producing Great Sound for Digital Video is a comprehensive introduction to recording audio on location and editing the sound in postproduction. Acoustic theory and general recording strategies are discussed alongside numerous references to current software and cameras, presumably one of the reasons why a second edition has been released so soon after the book's initial publication in 1999.
Digital artists are very much hands-on, and Rose is the right man to write audio books for this new generation of filmmakers. Rose operates his own boutique sound studio and bridges the analog and digital eras — he's made the discoveries and mistakes that no one should have to learn on the job. This direct experience with DV equipment and projects is apparent throughout the book.

The article notes:
Don't call Producing Great Sound for Digital Video, Second edition by Jay Rose an audio primer or even a reference source, it's much more. In fact, it offers such a wide range of usable information about hands-on digital audio production, that by reading it, the reader is empowered with production skills and enlightened by an appreciation of how the experience of audio enriches video. It's like taking a class taught by a caring, affable, pro.
Jay Rose is a master at creating new worlds of sound and in this book he walks the reader through the tools and techniques used in digital audio production for video.
The book covers all phases of production from acquisition to the post production mix.
- There are other reviews and information at http://www.jayrose.com/book/pgs2e/WebCite such as:
Most folks who write about doing sound for moving pictures, on film or on video, focus on the sexy stuff--mostly writing music, sometimes doing foley, often talking technical. Jay Rose doesn't mess around. He digs right into the hardcore side of audio for moving pictures -- recording and editing dialog, sound effects, and music. He debunks common myths, shows the reader how to make do in limited-budget, time-constrained situations, and puts it all in context on a technical level. Producing Great Soundtracks is an invaluable collection of step-by-step how-to information combined with the technical reasons things do or don't work. It's essential reading for anyone serious about making a living doing moving pictures.

The article notes:
Lia Andrea Ramos, Philippines' bet for the 2006 Miss Universe contest, July 23, could be a dark horse among the crowd. Last week at The Grove on Fairfax and 3rd Street, where all the candidates had a dinner at the La Piazza Restaurant inside the entertainment complex, I was able to get up-close and personal with the Pinay beauty
As the beauteous candidates uniformly lined up to get in the restaurant, what a coincidence that they were held-up right in front of me, I was able to take a good look at the candidates and briefly talk to her and took a few shots.
Noticeable with Lia was that she stood out among the rest because of her dark skin and her very slim frame. With a height of 5'7," She is a far-cry of any resemblance with the reigning Miss Universe 2005 winner-Canada's Natalie Glebova, who is actually taller than everyone of the current candidates.
Lia is a Davaoenian beauty who loves to read novels and short stories, enjoys music, and is passionate about traveling and meeting new people.
She dreams of becoming an ambassador of the Philippines one day and serving her countrymen. Her first job was working as a visa officer at the Royal Norwegian Embassy and was exposed to consular works. She had worked at The Asia Foundation which she thinks is essential and useful to her dream of being in the Foreign Service and also be involve in international development work.

The article notes:
Although she lost her bid to bring home the crown, Lia Andrea Aquino Ramos on Monday morning (RP time) won Miss Photogenic honors at the Miss Universe beauty contest held in Los Angeles, California.
Ramos garnered the most votes or, as the contest host put it, "the most stares" based on the results of an internet poll.
Ramos, a political science graduate from the University of the Philippines, failed to proceed to the top 20 semi-finalists after preliminary judging in swimsuit, evening gown and interview categories.
She donned a white Filipiñana gown and held a matching abanico fan during the contestants' introduction.

Slow marketing
Nice idea, but it is really based on a http://slowmarketing.org website and one 2015 article in Marketing Magazine. This Wikipedia article was written by a student and clearly is a synthesis of the subject from a variety of blogs and personal websites. The October 2015 HuffPost blog article only name-checks the movement, while the Ad Age article looks good on the surface but is actually reporting about this Wikipedia article, so of questionable relevance. I'm not seeing sufficient proof this is a widely known aspect of 'slow' life and, it seems, this Wikipedia article is artificially promoting its validity. I'd argue at best it should be very selectively merged into the

- Comment See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slow living. Either keep all these breakout articles or merge them all back into the header article, Slow movement (culture), but keep the content. I think keep as break out articles, not withstanding the need to improve them all. Aoziwe (talk) 14:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Merge to slow movement (culture). The Ad Age source isn't just about the Wikipedia article; it cites our article as proof that the movement exists, but it also cites other stuff. There's also this article from The New Zealand Herald. But it's difficult to find enough sources to say that this is a notable concept independent of the slow movement. I think a merge would be best for now. In my opinion, some of these breakout articles were spun off a bit too early. The notability isn't quite there yet for this, but it's still sourceable.

Non-notable artist with no documented accomplishments other than one 10-day exhibition at a non-notable gallery and a purchase by the Metropolitan Museum, which appears to have decommissioned the work. Lack of sources.
- Delete perhaps as I was basically uncertain considering the Metropolitan Museum of Art connection would be notable enough but that would actually only be it because my searches found nothing else aside from passing mentions.

- Keep. Does not matter the work was decommissioned by Metropolitan. Being there is the achievement notable by itself. Also, I am not sure we can really establish "non-notability" of gallery in 1945. For someone, active in pre WWII period, the amount of sources is quite enough. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:35, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, I've added the NY Times reviewer comments on her show. Also she appears to have been important as a socialite of sorts, her debutante ball got big coverage in the Times. I've added that citation and a bunch of others substantiating the biographical details. I've also pared down the synthesis about the Met. While we know they bought her painting, it's not clear that it was exhibited for many years.--Jahaza (talk) 15:52, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. Unless it is claimed that the Metropolitan Museum of Art had a lower standard in 1948 and that its purchases from that era carry no effective influence in present-day art world, any artist whose biographical details include such a purchase cannot be considered as non-notable.
