Do Not Delete - This article is as encyclopedic as any others. Granted, you might not be aware of individuals within the technology startup sector, however, there is plenty of non-trivial evidence online regarding Matt Hagger. He has been recognised as an individual by companies such as British Airways, receiving their Great Britons award, and Growing Business in 2009, having been selected for their Young Guns Award. Companies such as Zkatter were awarded and received funding for their development on Bada, and been receipient of many other technology industry awards. In addition to this he has been featured on panels and been featured on national news outlets for his opinions and insight into the technology space. --Westwired (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spy-fi

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

Fails notability. Article presents "spy-fi" as a genre or sub-genre, describing it as a cross of the espionage and science-fiction genres. The article is poorly sourced and I believe is synthesizing its definition. I do not believe it is a recognized genre, not do a believe it is a notable descriptor of a group of films. According to Brittany (2014) the term "spy-fi" was coined by Danny Biederman for his book The Incredible World of Spy-fi: Wild and Crazy Spy Gadgets, Props, and Artifacts from TV and the Movies. The book is largely a look at the gadgets and props used in the film, and is not an analysis of genre. Beyond this book the article is sourced to sub-standard sources and most of the films are unsourced. I cannot find any authoritative film analysis that regards "spy-fi" as a genre. Betty Logan (talk) 23:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A lot of the sources I added are right out of google scholar not to mention books discussing this topic.--

Keep. I don't see how establishing that Biederman coined the term amounts to a rationale to delete. What it does amount to is an encyclopaedic fact that should be added to the article. Nor do I understand the requirement for an "authoritative" (meaning scholarly?) analysis. Surely it is enough for a popular culture article that the concept is discussed in popular culture sources—which it surely is. The article may need cleanup, but not so badly that it warrants deletion. SpinningSpark 23:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Biederman is actually writing on the subject of his collection of gadgets from spy films, not discussing a genre of fiction. The article does not present any authoritative definition of the concept, and Biederman who is credited with coining the phrase seems to engage more with the technology than the actual films. Betty Logan (talk) 00:51, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Packer, Secret Agents: Popular Icons Beyond James Bond repeatedly and explicitly refers to spy-fi as a genre. Maeda, Book Publishing 101: Inside Information to Getting Your First Book or Novel Published defines spy-fi as "espionage stories with science fiction elements..." [1], pretty much the definition given in out article, and on another page [2] explicitly lists spy-fi as a sub-genre of science fiction/fantasy. SpinningSpark 14:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't dispute the existence of the term, I dispute how you applying the sources. For example, Google scholar throws up this source: William Hood, Spy Fiction Through Knowledgeable Eyes. This is what he has to say about "spy-fi": "In the year-round torrent of fiction dealing with espionage and other intelli- gence activity — some publishers now categorize these books as Spy-fi, a term that will not appear here again — there are a few novels of more than passing interest." This writer does not even associate it with science-fiction; to him and many publishers "spy-fi" is just an abbreviation of "spy fiction" (albeit it in 1989). I don't think the concept as the article describes it is credible enough for an article. It is basically just a buzz phrase for what is more widely known as a

techno thriller. Betty Logan (talk) 01:25, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

Support deleting. As the nominator points out, this is not a recognized genre. Google scholar is not a RS. The book mentioned is on gadgets, not genre. Note that
Taeyebaar has a years-long history of changing genres and adding new categories then edit warring with the multiple editors who disagreed with him. He has been told many times to get consensus for his genre changes, but his response is that since he is right, he is not edit warring. His Talk page history shows dozens and dozens of warnings that he has removed. - Gothicfilm (talk) 01:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

No: Google Scholar is not a relaible source. It is a search engine. It provides results which need to be assessed to see if they are suitable for inclusion. – SchroCat (talk) 12:13, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, yes, this is a good one. I've edited it to reflect the emphasis on gadgets and other sci-fi hardware, while keeping the framework and best of existing writing. It could shape up to be a very good page. Removed the image, which didn't seem to have much to do with the page concept, but other images should show up in time to do the page and concept justice. Nice framework to work with. (edit: Just checked and the page is from 2005, an oldie waiting to be a goodie) Randy Kryn 1:47, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

DELETE I can't believe this is even a discssion. Most spy fiction contains "gadgets" of some sort or other (miniature cameras being an obvius example). Many of the refs in the article are dubious (Tor.com is less reliable than IMDB (it's crowd-sourced) and MI6HQ is a fan site). The rest of the references are so badly formatted it's difficult to make a proper judgement on whether they are good sources, or if they carry the purported information, and if so where. The first search I did – in James Bond in World and Popular Culture: The Films are Not Enough through Google Books - shows two mentions of the term – as a band name, not as a film genre. On the questionable use of that source I'm dubious on the others until more details can be provided. – SchroCat (talk) 12:11, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename? Upon reading some of the other discussions on this it does seem that the common use of Spy-fi just means a fiction film or book in the spy genre, not a mix of spy and science fiction. The page should probably still be kept but renamed, or is there already a page for gadgets and future-tech in spy films and books? If not this page, renamed, could create the framework for the topic. Randy Kryn 12:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since spy fiction already exists, that would be an argument to redirect if we accept that the terms are synonymous. However, not all sources are using the terms synonymously. At least some are making a distinction, for instance [4] and [5] would have it as a distinct genre. In any event, whatever we title the article, there are certainly sources that discuss this kind of fiction as a distinct group, so it is right that we have an article on it, whatever we think of the validity of that classification.

Comment An alternative would be to merge the sourced content—of which there is very little once you cull the massive list of unsourced books, games and films—into a sub-section at techno-thriller. "Spy-fi" in this context is a neologism at best. The "spy-fi" page could then be turned into a disambiguation page with links to spy fiction and to techno-thriller.

Comment If a genre were notable, what would we expect to see? I think common usage of the term in multiple reliable sources, such as collections of criticism or discussion of the genre as a whole. We have a book that coined the term, and a few book sources that refer to the term, and some internet lists. Is this thinking the right way to apply notability to a genre?

- (edit conflict)Sandstein, I've worked with South Asian media sources for a while now, and my impression of the Times of India is the following. It is seen as less "serious" and perhaps closer to a tabloid than a few others; at the same time, it is India's most popular English newspaper, and so the coverage it gives cannot be dismissed. In particular, I would take a news story or a profile like this one fairly seriously. Others may, of course, disagree; but the ToI is certainly used as a reliable source in any number of our articles. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:09, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - She has been covered prominently much before. The Hindu Business Line in 2011 ran a detailed profile of her, along with other Kashmiri women who are vocal about the human rights situation in Kashmir, her role in ensuring fail trial to prisoners, her activism to save the Dal Lake and her participation in youth leadership programme. [7] A Kashmiri magazine, Kashmir Scenario, in 2013, ran a powerful and in-depth interview of her, documenting her activism related to Internet rights, against acid attacks and for human rights in Kashmir. [8] She was at the forefront of demanding legal reform of cyber laws in 2013 following Shaheen Dhada's arrest in Mumbai. [9] [10] [11] [12] Quite clearly, she has been active for the past several years and has been prominently covered even in the absence of any controversy. In 2013, when an all-girls' band in Kashmir was facing harassment, she was again at the forefront of ensuring justice for them. [13] Her role in organising support for them was covered by prominent Indian publications, including the Hindustan Times, Rediff, Times of India. [14] [15] [16] She has been the leading face of the Occupy UGC protests and later, the Rohith Vemula movement during which she sat on indefinite hunger strike in JNU. [17] [18] Even hostile media publications such as Zee News documented her role in visualising the Occupy UGC movement and pioneering the decision to "camp" at UGC for fellowships. [19] She led the protests to MHRD, several times, taking on Smriti Irani and calling her assurances as eyewash.

,I think you are making a common error in misunderstanding primary topic. The ONLY relevant meaning concerns how the articles are titled.

That's a circular argument. The fact is that Broadcom Corporation is not in fact primary over Broadcom Limited. My earlier failed move request was not debated widely enough. I'm hoping a proper debate will happen here. ^{Talk to} SageGreenRider 13:33, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a typical case, so why should we restrict ourselves to a typical outcome? Keep-and-move is the common sense solution in this case. You haven't addressed the substance of the issue, namely that Broadcom Corporation is not primary over Broadcom Limited.

There isn't anything particularly unusual about this case. Your previous attempt gain consensus for your position failed and you are attempting to re-argue the case here.

TWODABS excludes itself for the case of no primary topic. It reads in part As discussed above, if an ambiguous term has no primary topic, then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page. In other words, where no topic is primary, the disambiguation page is placed at the base name. and goes on to explain what to do if one topic is primary. The policy for the case of no primary topic is

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC which says in part If there is no primary topic, the term should be the title of a disambiguation page.^{Talk to} SageGreenRider 22:08, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

Once again, you are misunderstanding twodabs. I understand that you are disgruntled about the article about the corporation being considered the primary topic. But so long as it is titled "Broadcom", it is by definition the primary topic for that term -- a hatnote at that article is sufficient for disambiguation and per TWODABS a separate disambiguation page is unnecessary. You failed to gain consensus to establish that Broadcom Corporation should not be the primary topic. older ≠ wiser 22:46, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no primary topic, and so the incumbent should not be there. The fact that there is an article where there should be a disambig page is a mistake. I am not disgruntled about the mistake. I'm only fearful that our readers will be confused by it and I'm trying to get community support here to correct it. If I fail, readers will suffer, but otherwise it makes no difference to me. I already know about the subject. ^{Talk to} SageGreenRider 22:57, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that there is an article where there should be a disambig page is a mistake. I understand this is your opinion. However, your attempt to change this did not gain consensus. Until the article title changes TWODABS applies regardless of your opinion. older ≠ wiser 00:28, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that you believe that a given temporary consensus is infallible and that it always overrides reality. It does not. A cursory investigation of Broadcom Corporation versus Broadcom Limited would reveal to you that neither is primary over the other. ^{Talk to} SageGreenRider 01:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I don't care a bit about whether either B corporation or B Ltd or neither is the primary topic. The point is that your proposal failed and an AfD really is not the right place for such a determination. Until that changes, there is no need for this extraneous disambiguation page. older ≠ wiser 01:15, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I find it very strange to see a disambiguation page for Broadcom. There are countless examples of companies buying and being bought where 1 company name remains. And I don't see disambiguation pages for those. I would support deletion of this page.

Can you give specific examples? In this case, the base name presently contains an article about a legal entity (

both my moves to mainspace were to improve and expand the encyclopia. Moving a good stub back into userspace without doing any due diligence is wrong [30]. That is disruptive and does not improve the encylopedia. Refs are nice, but it's a book stub that is interlinked with the obviously notable author's page, making it essentially a subpage of the author. There are hundreds of thousands of pages in the project with no references that have existed a lot longer then a few hours you could go target instead of stalking my edits because you failed to get me sanctioned at ANi.

The Southeast Review - "Danticat successfully challenges the idea of a monolithic story and shows that a person’s biography exists within the context of a community ... Danticat also brings to question the singularity of history by privileging multiple voices."[32], World Literature Today - "Claire of the Sea Light is not Danticat’s best work. Too many of the novel’s pages roil in her characters’ disconsolate ruminations. Still, the fiction holds because its chief suspense—concern for the runaway child and curiosity about what she will do—holds. Also, it ends brilliantly."[33], The Washington Times - "That Ms. Danticat can evoke possibility so powerfully in this attractive child testifies to her literary gifts: her lucid prose, her wide-ranging references, her sharpness of focus."[34], Harvard Review Online - "Resisting sentimentality or oversimplification, Danticat creates a series of stories that weave seamlessly into each other, each story answering questions conjured by those that precede it."[35], The Dallas Morning News - "Claire is set in May 2009 and imagines Haiti nine months before the life-grinding 2010 earthquake. Made from that wreckage, Danticat’s Claire is a bleak and beautiful “collage à clef.”"[36], Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International - "Danticat paints the portrait of a town in peril, which can be read as a microcosm for life in Haiti"[37].

Weak keep. I considered making this article myself, eventually passing on it because I felt that it would be hard to defend at an AfD. But we have plenty of sources on her (multiple) new results, calling them a major breakthrough [40] [41] [42] [43]. It's probably too soon for
WP:GNG. And eventually she's going to be notable by our usual standards, based on the work she's already done, so what's the point of deleting the article and then coming back a couple of years later and re-creating it again? —David Eppstein (talk) 18:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

- Comment: Part of the problem for me is that the article, as currently written, only asserts that she has done this terrific thing that she really hasn't done yet - sort of like an article about a runner that only asserts "Runner X says he will break the three-minute mile this summer." It also provides no sources, in an arena where the average reader can't be expected to be able to sort out reputable references from hype. If you think she's done lots of other notable stuff, and if there are sources that say so, why not add that to the article, and make it about her being a notable mathematician or academic in general? You (or whoever) can add that she has an as-yet unpublished paper that is expected to solve the sphere-packing problem. Then, if it's proven that she has solved it, that statement can be revised. But as it stands now, I think there's not enough meat in the article to be worth keeping. ubiquity (talk) 18:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - So your problem is that it's a brand-new stub, whose creator has requested help expanding it at
    WT:WPM, and that there hasn't yet been time for that expansion to happen yet. Got it. But that's not much of a valid deletion rationale. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:50, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply
    ]
- No, my problem is it's a completely unsourced article that makes a single assertion about something that might not happen. To me that's a
  valid deletion rationale. If the article can be expanded into something reasonable, that's great. Maybe it should just be Draftified to give people a chance to improve it, or to wait it out until it's true? ubiquity (talk) 20:08, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply
  ]
  It is not completely unsourced. Your problem is that the sources are listed as "external links" and not properly formatted as sources, because it's a brand-new stub that still needs work. But the sources are already there. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:31, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not about something she has not yet done. The paper is written and publicly available on the web. It has not yet appeared as a refereed publication. But respectable mathematicians are saying she's solved the problem. It's not like saying someone will run a three-minute mile this summer; rather it's like saying they've already done it but the judges' official ruling hasn't been publicly announced yet. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:45, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I realize there has been something of a stir in the blogosphere about this problem being recently (allegedly) solved. But I'm not generally very impressed with popular media as sources for scientific subjects, and this is no exception. The subject does not (as of yet) pass

Changed !vote to weak keep. The unambiguous assessment of Sarnak, noted below, lends considerably greater reliability to the fluff news sources referenced in the article. I think the subject now meets GNG.

Weak keep -- I think the deletion argument given in the nomination is very weak; she is the subject of reasonably serious news coverage (in particular, the Quanta article) now, not after the paper gets published. --

Weak keep vote from me too. Tayste (edits) 22:29, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It is said that popular media are cited as sources. Let us note that within the last few days a mathematician who won a Fields Medal and who has somewhat diverse mathematical interests edited several sphere-packing-related articles on Wikipedia to assert that this new discovery has been made. The paper, if not yet refereed, is publicly available on the arxiv and seems to have received favorable notice from respectable mathematicians. We can't cite those facts as reliable sources, but they are evidence that we will soon have better sources to cite. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep she meets
WP:GNG (this is pretty rare for mathematicians, specially for young ones), and also per common sense, because so many notable mathematicians are favourable impressed by her work, and they know math better than most Wikipedia's editors. (I don't know if I can comment here without an account, but I felt I should) 189.63.176.45 (talk) 10:28, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

- Just to note that commenting without an account is completely ok, as long as you don't then weigh in a second time under a different identity. However, the decision will be made according to the consensus of policy-based arguments, rather than on the number of people choosing one side or the other, so your choice to invoke GNG is a much better way to go than Tayste's
  WP:JUSTAVOTE. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Keep. The objection seems to be that she has not yet accomplished the feat described. The grounds for thinking that is that her paper hasn't gone through the refereeing process yet. There is a difference between saying she hasn't done it and saying it's not yet formally recognized by a standard process. In many cases, one might have no authoritative assurance of soundness besides that process. In this case, we have this item (also perhaps not yet refereed) in which it appears that four mathematicians other than Maryna Viazovska who are competent to publish research in this area state that she solved the problem in eight dimensions, and risk damage to their reputations for being wrong in a way that a referee would not, since referees are (almost always) anonymous. We also have one Fields-Medal-winning mathematician asserting the same thing in his Wikipedia edits. The fact that something is in some sense official or formal doesn't always mean it's more credible or done more competently than otherwise, nor even necessarily that it's less "authoritative" in the sense that would be relevant here. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Coverage, though recent, is significant. The coverage to date already meets

Keep -- per enormous amount of coverage as GNG if people want to actually claim that it's not PROF#C1 yet. (P.S. in addition to the policy points, please consider know how unfriendly towards women this and their achievements AfD makes Wikipedia look.) -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:03, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "friendliness" or "unfriendliness" is a consideration. This should be an argument to avoid during deletion discussion. I still don't see coverage in reliable scientific sources, like review articles in peer-reviewed journals, textbooks, etc. The citations in the article are to Forbes, The Huffington Post, and similar, which are not reliable peer-reviewed mathematical sources.

Yeah, but they quote other mathematicians, who've read the papers. Peter Sarnak has commented: “It’s stunningly simple, as all great things are. You just start reading the paper and you know this is correct.”[44] --Amakuha (talk) 16:13, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qlZjarkS_g the computer part is verifying positivity of the modular forms she constructs, and that part could in principle be done by hand. It's not like Hales' huge computerized case analysis. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What I mean is, they've already verified the proof on a computer (at least they claim so). So there's a very little chance that there is a mistake and the proof is wrong. --Amakuha (talk) 23:57, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as yet unelected candidate for a local county board. As always, a person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate for office, and this isn't a level of office where even winning the seat in November would get him a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- so we can judge his includability only on the basis of whether he would already have qualified for an article before becoming a candidate, but nothing else claimed here (legislative aide, student body president, board of directors of a local community center, etc.) gets him over any of Wikipedia's other inclusion criteria either.

Delete Even if elected to the Washtenaw County Board, he would probably not be notable. He is clearly not notable while just a candidate for it. Especially since it is before the filing deadline, so we have no clue if he will even get the nomination, and he might even withdraw before the primary election. So right now he might win the nomination to be his party's candidate for a seat, that even if he wins would not confer on him notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question Per
WP:POLITICIAN, item #2 states: "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." How do we quantify "significant" and how do we know when he has crossed that threshhold? The demarcation seems a bit nebulous. Bluetiger50 (talk) 05:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

@
WP:POLITICIAN is alluding to in the footnotes: A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. In Morgan's case, currently there is only one article from an independent and reliable source cited on the page which could reasonably be called in-depth, the Ann Arbor News/MLive.com article, and as a local newspaper it's questionable whether the Ann Arbor News contributes much to notability without evidence of wider coverage. —Nizolan ^(talk) 22:57, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

Normally for a local political figure to pass
routinely get in their local media — for instance, if he were getting substantive coverage in The New York Times or The Washington Post, then there'd be an obvious case that he was significantly more notable than the norm for people at that level of politics by virtue of being considered newsworthy by media far beyond his own local area. But local media have an obligation to cover local politics and local elections, which means that all candidates for office always get some media coverage — so that kind of coverage isn't in and of itself enough to get a person into Wikipedia. If the role itself isn't conferring an automatic NPOL pass, then the coverage has to show that he's a lot more notable, for some genuinely substantive reason, than the tens of thousands of other people who have merely been candidates in local elections. Bearcat (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

Delete I disagree with Bearcat. All candidates don't always get local coverage. But this guy wouldn't meet notability requirement even if he got elected, so I think it should be deleted. VanEman (talk) 18:17, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Follow Up Thank you all for the input. I had originally wanted to create this article because this guy was the youngest delegate to the national convention in 2008 and could become the youngest commissioner for this county ever. Bearcat, in your opinion, does that qualify as something more substantial? Agree that not all local politicians get extensive media coverage. Bluetiger50 (talk) 22:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If "X" isn't a role that would pass NPOL in and of itself, then "youngest X" doesn't inherently make him any more notable than any other X, because it's a distinction that can always potentially be outdone again in the future. And "will be the first or last or oldest or youngest or other superlativeist or first minority-group something if he wins an election that he hasn't yet won as of today" doesn't assist, either — a notability claim that's hinged on what might become true in the future doesn't get a person over the bar if that claim isn't already true today. And while being a delegate to a party's national convention is something that we can mention in an article that has already cleared the notability bar in other ways, it's not a claim that gets a person over the notability bar in and of itself either. And finally, please note that I didn't say that all local politicians get extensive media coverage — but all local politicians do get some degree of media coverage, and you haven't demonstrated that Morgan's level of coverage is particularly "extensive" compared to most or many others.

My apologies, I somehow missed the buried Georgia State Senate claims in the process of looking at the fact that the bulk of the article focused almost entirely on his role as a local attorney and as the namesake of a couple of local institutions. Referencing improvement is definitely needed, but consider this withdrawn. Bearcat (talk) 16:00, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Despite his high number of YouTube subscribers, a search for coverage in reliable sources only results in brief mentions (these brief mentions being nothing more than name-checks). I couldn't find any coverage that was specifically about him.
