Islamic sports

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

The bulk of this article is in violation of policies. Much of it is unsourced, and most of the rest is sourced to a single Salafi website and primary sources. The text also confuses the topic of religious views about sports with the topic of sports in the Muslim world. There's not a single cited RS about "Islamic sports". I've merged the sourced content in

WP:TNT. I'm not sure if there are enough RSs on the subject such as this one [2], but the article based on such sources would need to be created from scratch. Eperoton (talk) 22:54, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

Delete Whether or not it's started over again doesn't factor in to my vote. The article was created by a long-gone editor who, while a major and important contributor ten years ago, was also a notorious stealth POV pusher via creation of non-notable articles. Additionally, this appears to be a violation of
WP:SYNTH in more ways than one, basically gathering sources about sports that happen to occur in countries with many Muslim people in them. This article, in and of itself, is about a non-topic (unless we consider praying five times a day to be a sport; I'm assuming that nobody does). MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:33, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

Delete - the article states that she is a former Miss Texas, which would at least provide a path to notability (I would think that there is a reasonable chance that a Miss Large State would get some coverage somewhere, and a decent number of the recent Miss Texases have articles). But she does not appear on that list, so even that avenue seems closed. Rlendog (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The article, as Oakshade points out, is almost a one-to-one duplicate of Khyber train safari. There appear to be no sources that would support a redirect of the page in question to Khyber train safari. A Train^talk 14:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Khyber Steam Safari

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

The proposed train fails

WP:CRYSTAL. I have only found one relevant source but even that only discusses using the engines that once was part of the Khyber Steam Safari (also called the Khyber train safari). From the source we can see that there appears to be no track to Landi Kotal, and that the proposal is a "proposal is to take a business venture ... into consideration" which to me make it sounds like it's in the very early planning stages. Add to that that there are no sources in the article that supports that there is any proposed tourist train. What sources there are refer to the Khyber train safari that stopped running ten years ago. Sjö (talk) 10:42, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

Merge to Khyber train safari. This was an operating train so obviously CRYSTAL doesn't apply. However this new venture is only a proposal. The propose re-use content can be in the target article. --Oakshade (talk) 22:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually kept in 2011 because of the sheer unbelievable acceptance of local PR and republishing of it; my own searches are noticeably finding nothing at all than mentions, everything listed here is then also only PR and trivial coverage, none of it is actual significant and substantial news, and I imagine it would not either, since it was apparently started by someone connected to the company (either an employee or PR agent, SPA of course). None of this suggests anything of actual improvements, and because Wikipedia has substantially changed about PR since 2011, we have better choices now to say no to such advertisements.

WP:N states, with the word evidence bolded,

This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are

reliable independent sources

to gauge this attention. The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article.

It appears that the ship was "sponsored" by Bevin's mother, so it was not independently named in his honor. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:48, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

She was also probably involved in naming the son. That would be arguing that anyone who was named by their parents cannot have an article on Wikipedia, because the naming was not done independently. No, the argument is a straw man, because no one is claiming that the mom is an "independent" source. Unscintillating (talk) 15:03, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The sponsor does not name the ship, see Ceremonial ship launching. "In recent history, all U.S. Navy sponsors have been female. In addition to the ceremonial breaking of a champagne bottle on the bow, the sponsor remains in contact with the ship's crew and is involved in special events such as homecomings.".

The basic remedy for failure of notability is to merge to a suitable target. Is there a WP:IAR reason to delete this topic as a redirect? Perhaps, but it is weak, and no one here is making that argument. Why do we have six delete !votes without an argument for deletion? Unscintillating (talk) 22:06, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep WP:NPASR Given the policy WP:ATD, there is no policy-based purpose to a deletion discussion, at least not without citing WP:IAR. Secondly, WP:BEFORE D1 states, "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects." Easily found at the top of WP:BEFORE D1 searches are sources such as militarytimes.com and the Filson Club History Quarterly of 1946, sources that have not been analyzed in the nomination.

Comment - Thanks to Kges1901 for his improvements to the article. However, I still don't see a biography here. Everything we have relates to the last hours of his life. The man's undoubtedly a hero, but being a hero doesn't equate with notability. It's been a long held convention here that heroism has to rise to the extremely high level of winning a country's top military honor. The Navy named every ship in the DE class after heroes. To say that having a ship named after you equates with notability effectively changes the notability guideline for military people. That's not what we are here for. That conversation could be held, but it hasn't been. Under the guidelines we have now, GNG is not met due to 1E. Other than IAR, we have no basis to keep this.

Speedy Deleted in 2007 with enough consensus that this would've actually been G4 applicable if the contents were symmetrical, but they are imaginably not, so here we are at AfD # 2 for hopefully a permanent lock for future uses. The sources listed here are largely PR and other fluff unconvincing sources, the best sources there are, Forbes, TechCrunch and BBC, but the Forbes has "Avangate to the rescue" which is then followed by largely interviewed information from the businesspeople themselves, the next one, TechCrunch (actually only consists of a few paragraphs) contains noticeable information about funding and what the company's financial plans are; none of that is guaranteed to be immune from the company's own supplied information, therefore it's not convincing; the next one, BBC, only mentions them a mere 2 times; imaginably a shoehorned "inclusion" of news to simply make the illusion of there being an international source! I also suggest Salting because an explosive 5 times, including that 2007 AfD one. Next, my own searches found nothing at all, which is not surprising, considering the company itself would've likely put it here for the imagery of having news! As if the PR concerns are not enough, looking at the history will show there's a noticeable user consistently touching this article, and quite noticeably at that, going farther shows two other SPA accounts, likely involved also.

Delete: And if coverage satisfying the GNG that isn't the sort of routine sports coverage explicitly debarred from counting towards notability can be found, I'm all for it, but we can't support an article with insufficient references on spec. 18abruce is also absolutely right that it has always been the case that presumptive notability to playing for a national team comes only with playing for a senior national team competing in the medal pool of the Olympics and World Champions, whatever the nomenclature (Division 1/Medal round/"A" pool) attached in any given year.

Delete Regardless of interpretations of NHOCKEY, he does not appear to meet GNG even after looking through Colombian coverage of the Pan American tournament.

Comment - I found this piece, which I think is a start towards meeting GNG (assuming this isn't a blog portion of the paper; I don't think it is), but not enough by itself. In the article the subject states that "Ice hockey isn't very big in Colombia," which isn't much of an endorsement for its national team conferring automatic notability.

Comment, -
WP:NHOCKEY - "6.Played on a senior national team (such as at the Olympic Games or World Championship); or" it doesn't say "played on a senior national team in the Olympic Games and/or the World Championships", if that was the intention when this sng was made (as implied by some of the editors above) then surely it would implicitly say that. Coolabahapple (talk) 13:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

The individual sections override the general sections of NSPORTS. That is actually the reason of splitting out the sports we do and deprecating the old
WP:GNG. The reason it doesn't explicitly says only World Championships and Olympics are because there are sometimes other events which rise to that level but are rare events such as Canada Cup and World Cup of Hockey. In the case of the World Championships, players who play below the Championship level very rarely meet the GNG. We should probably link to that section to make it clear, I thought we already did. -DJSasso (talk) 16:37, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

The key there is what you take such as to mean; if I describe an animal's characteristics and say "such as a lion or a tiger (the most prominently known large breeds of cats)" and then someone tries to say that "okay a duck is included then, because it is also an animal" what would your reaction be? It should be telling that it says 'World Championship' in the singular because (at least on Wikipedia) that is indicative of only the top level. Things like the World Cup, Canada Cup no one would question, but things like the Thayer Tutt Trophy would be questionable (at best as an example of a lesser amateur championship) and should prompt a discussion to see if there are in the discussion of such as.

Absolutely NOT to delete -
Alex Cvetkovic is a FIFA internationally transferred player who just this season played a number of 1st team matches for last year's Champions of Luxembourg (5 I believe since the season started) in their highest (premier) league for the club who featured in this year's UEFA Europa League
qualifying (beat Aberdeen 1:0 but lost on aggregate) and last year's UEFA Champions League qualifying
Alex Cvetkovic scored two goals in last week's Luxembourg Cup (The FA Cup equivalent) and has even featured prominently in a match against French League 1 FC Metz recently - the main newspaper there even published only his photo when reporting on nationwide Cup results - see http://www.wort.lu/de/sport/coupe-de-luxembourg-topteams-lassen-sich-nicht-ueberraschen-57deda95ac730ff4e7f66992#

"L’homme du match: Jeff Strasser Devant un onze en manque d’idées notamment offensives, le coaching de l’ancien joueur de Kaiserslautern s’est révélé payant puisque Cvetkovic a offert la première égalisation à Rodrigues avant qu’un autre nouveau venu, Tom Laterza, n’assure définitivement un point au Fola." .... you can read the whole article in the most respected and most circulated Luxembourg daily - http://www.wort.lu/fr/sport/ce-dimanche-a-esch-alzette-le-fola-arrache-le-nul-dans-un-derby-fou-57e82054ac730ff4e7f66f0b

This debate is now finished as four entrants' arguments such as; 1. 'not enough coverage' - proven not right as google will give you over ten pages (dozens and dozens in total) of articles, photos and captions incl. videos of
Alex Cvetkovic
or 2. 'google has nothing on him' - proven wrong because if you google is name 'Alex Cvetkovic' plus his club 'Fola' you will on 'Alex Cvetkovic Fola' receive over a hundred entries and articles linked to his name and likeness Furthermore no. 3 - 'has not featured in the first team game' - is wrong as this season alone Alex Cvetkovic featured EIGHT times for the first eleven of his Luxembourg top Premier League club Finally. no. 4 - 'has not played in a top league' - not correct as Alex Cvetkovic plays exclusively for the first team oinly of CS Fola Esch in the Luxembourg National Division which is the highest premier league in the country (in addition to club playing UEFA Europa League this year and UEFA Champions League last year
The article about
Alex Cvetkovic
is therefore valid and 100% compliant with wikipedia standards and if you have something else to ad to it ie edit to make it even better please do so

WP:NSPORT requires a player to have played in a fully-professional league. The Luxembourg league is only part-time, as confirmed by sources such as this one (which coincidentally refers to this player's club).

None of the above addresses the fact that he fails the two main Wikipedia policies which have been outlined above: matches played in a recognised full-time professional league, or in-depth coverage in reliable independent third-party sources.

Well, further editing of
Alex Cvetkovic will soon prove the additional reliable independent source but what concerns me is the nature of dismissal which cannot be considered as constructive - but makes me (and a number of other contributors who are yet to come forward to support my claims) very uneasy about the whole situation ... needless to say that I fully know why and where this comes from but will not entertain my knowledge about some particular reasons why the small and relatively insignificant page of some young talented player has to receive such hostile treatment — Preceding unsigned comment added by Profooty33 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

There is ample of evidence that suggest

There is a reason why number of us who are in favour of article about Alec Cvetkovic to be kept are not coming forward independently either from our accounts or otherwise as clearly there is a definitive drive by some of you that no matter what argument is put forward you will demand that the article is removed .... most likely you will succeed but that is not the reason for us who are in favour of wikipedia being truly used by people not to then proceed further ...!
Alex Cvetovic is one of the brightest young teenage future stars in making alongside a few others he played with for years and whose pages are about to be made alongside his and if the research of us positive contributors is not awarded by either keeping our work or making it even better - than we will resort to publishing our research and findings elsewhere in more dominant mainstream media as no one can say for example that if there would be a young amazing up and coming scientist discovering this that and the other at the age of 19 - that some of you will refuse his page on wikipedia 'just because he or she has not yet featured in any major conference or gathering with other known greats and so what if he or she has discovered this that or the other if it cannot be found by click of the finger or a keyboard in a minute'
Wikipedia is something I always looked up as fresh, innovative and above all - public .... by all means let's remove any racist, fake and forged data - but let's don't forget we are one community and the community which also would like to be quoted ourselves on something we have discovered before anyone else did and not just act as some second rated 'copy/paste unit' who will compile something that does not even require compiling as it was published was before we even knew about it.
Why we/I/myself in particular would like to see our work stay - to be kept - as it contains only the proven facts and is not reliant on the opinion as to whether is this that or the other
The page about Alex Cvetkovic contains fact only - true and proven facts - fantastic facts in fact! Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Profooty33 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have noted that somebody removed Cvetkovic's goals and appearances for Wigan - reason stated 'as goals and caps for reserves don't count' - ?! There is an official (currently called U23 league) in which professional players play ..... although Reserves, Cvetkovic was on a professional contract only whilst at Wigan so it would count towards his senior career and caps as well as goals were clearly marked as Wigan Athletic reserves/ac meaning reserves and academy for which Cvetkovic in total combined played 33 times and scored combined 8 goals .... however, I will not interfere with that as it is an interpretation - and everyone has the right to express himself so too the editor in question.
Having said that - absolutely alarming is the fact that several objections as to apparently 'not fitting wikipedia rules and regulations' were bluntly overlooked in the very procedure of this debate - and that is - that on Monday morning I have found my built page about Alex Cvetkovic blanked and all the contents deleted - prior to following same rules and regulations of wikipedia of how only an alert could be raised about the article with clear time frame for it to be remedied (if so required after the debate).
By arbitrarily deleting an article (for which I had no backup copy) - and debating only the hybrid attempt by myself to be rebuilt subsequently which now is being discussed - the very essence of wikipedia was ignored as my research and the subsequent article should have never been deleted prior to discussion.
There are now only bare facts left in an article about
Alex Cvetkovic
which should be kept as a matter of ethics at least ..... as those facts left (as well as those provided here) are sufficient enough evidence to warrant keeping the page grow as that young player will only provide more evidence through the media which is worth considering. profooty33 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Profooty33 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ as it does not fail
WP:GNG but is an article in expansion and the existing details there warrant inclusion - why it was the initial action of deleting all the previous research prior to this debate and without any warning and leaving Alex Cvetkovic page blank on early Monday morning failing and still fails every single wikipedia rule, statute and ethics. We cannot discriminate against other country's athletes just on basis of them 'not being incorporated as in our sporting organisations charters' ie we cannot just dismiss other country's footballers just because their FA has a unique way of organising leagues (if so) as the very essence of pure facts namely concerning Alex Cvetkovic - who played all the youth leagues in Holland initially between age of 5 and 9 against all the 'Feyenoords and Ajaxes' week in week out before being spotted by Tony Carr MBE at the age of 9 and brought back to England to sign for West Ham, later on the player signed to Tottenham Hotspur F.C. after that Manchester United F.C. after that was one of the few youngest ever professionals in England signing a pro with Wigan only to be seen now as after already being FIFA registered and transferred player abroad playing regular 1st team football for a club that in their last UEFA Europa League match beat Aberdeen F.C. in July of this year and twice prior to that in recent yers fetured in the UEFA Champions League
- having Cvetkovic transferred from abroad as they see it to as one of their best players although still a teenager - helps them progress even further on international scene - we cannot negate the fact that this is about a great young athlete - nor we can ignore that some of the objections come from the angle 'luxembourg is not worthy of considering seriously' which is contrary to wikipedia's teaching as every top level success of anything in any however small or big entity deserves respect and mention.

I understand your concerns when it comes to printed editions but this is an expanding article, novelty etc and we cannot delete an article which is valid and rewarding simply because the athlete fully plays for the 1st team in a top league that is not as per our liking!? - ; why don't we then delete every player who is playing in Luxembourg National Division - from wikipedia - 'The National Division (Luxembourgish: Nationaldivisioun, French: Division Nationale, German: Nationaldivision) is the highest football league in Luxembourg. Until 2011, it was known as the BGL Ligue, after the Luxembourg Football Federation managed to seal a sponsorship deal with Fortis. Before 2006, it contained twelve teams, but it expanded to fourteen for the 2006–07 season, and it has maintained this number since.' .... why don't we then also delete all amateur boxers for example or any Olympian or anyone from wikipedia who does not feature in a 'fully professional league' that pays as much as for example English Premier League does ....?! Alex Cvetkovic has a great CV and is a top young ENGLISH player playing abroad like many other athletes from either Luxembourg, Iceland, other small countries with their own specific umbrella sporting organisations etc - Cvetkovic plays regularly for the first team of the top club which for the last four years also regularly feature in both UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League - is that not 'fully professional'? Please consider that this is not about some young player but it is above all - about us, contributors, trying to expand on something that is not only new but also good ... there are thousands of suspect entries on wikipedia - Alex Cvetkovic might have not done in his teenage years some extraordinary things but is up and coming top young footballer ..... just a small page on wikipedia that is expanding .... ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Profooty33 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are several thousand footballers on very glossy wikipedia pages right now and have been there for years (such as, I dont know, for example
Alex Cvetkovic
By virtue of the fact that Cvetkovic's pages was immediately erased on Monday and various small technicality details including mention of a 'rant' - which was never a rant but only a relatively polite argument so no further details and naming reasons why Cvetkovic left one of his previous clubs (which is evidented and filed with the authorities) are publicly displayed (which will not happen for as long as his derserved page is let to grow) - I can only conclude that his achievement cannot and must not be included on wikipedia ... reason being the very proof of how determined initial reaction to his article was - immediate deletion and only after bare facts were rebuilt on his page - so called debate commenced ... Of course I am not happy - and somewhat sad (as I was preparing a series of pages with similar teenagers) that in case of deletion of
Alex Cvetkovic
is not.
I am also happy that upon deletion (if so) we could then freely go to mainstream media and elaborate this further alongside all necessary steps as we cannot have one set of rules for one single entrant and no rules for thousands of others on wikipedia whom no one ever objected inclusion.

The AfD template will remain in place, as is Wikipedia procedure. Frankly, it's not our problem what impact it may (allegedly) have on his contract negotiations.

It is not fair what you're saying about me now; you have a problem with a top young player, you have a problem with me who created an article - yes I do know Cvetkovic's agent and he is a great guy, a lawyer too, and I was preparing a series on wikipedia about English teenage players abroad inspired by a twitter account called something similar 'english players abroad' and there on one of the tweets in the summer I saw 'Alex Cvetkovic signs to Fola champions Luxembourg ...' something like that - https://twitter.com/englishabroad1/status/761154234444345344

Thanks for sharing that Tweet, however the fact that somebody Tweeted about him doesn't in any way address the fundamental problems with the article, which have been pointed out to you many times, namely that to be eligible for an article on Wikipedia, a player must have either:
Played in a league recognised as fully professional - he has not played in any such league

Been the primary subject of in-depth coverage in reliable, independent sources (newspapers or major media outlets or similar - "in-depth" coverage means that the subject is the main focus of the piece i.e. match reports in which he is mentioned in passing are not sufficient) - there is no evidence that this is the case

If there are sources available which meet the second point, please provide them and there's every chance the article could yet be kept, but none seem to have come forward so far -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:39, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Major organization for the LGBTQ community, with state and international ramifications. Even rang NYSE Closing Bell once. What we need here are in-line references; we don't need a discouraging AfD.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ringing the closing bell at the NYSE once is not, in and of itself, a notability claim. And an article does not get exempted from having to cite proper referencing just because better referencing might someday become possible — particularly when it's already been flagged for three full years as lacking proper referencing. Sure, proper referencing would change the equation here, but simply asserting the topic as "major" is not enough to get an article that's based entirely on primary sources kept, with an infinite deadline for the eventual addition of theoretical sources — reliable sources have to already be present in the article for it to become keepable in the first place. An article always lives or dies on its referencing, and never gets exempted from having to be referenced properly just because an unreferenced notability claim has been asserted.

Delete There's a reference to Guinness Book of World Records that's supposed to support that claim but it's not even that impressive even if it is legit. The article claims "It contains every piece of legislation from all the Arab countries.", if you do the same for English it will be way bigger. It has no article on the Arabic Wikipedia and the other language versions also only have Guinness as a reference.

The earliest and only search result for "Arabic Legislations Encyclopedia" that predates the creation of the article (27 August 2007‎) is [10] which leads to this mess [11]. There's a bunch country flags you can click through. Does it list all their laws? I don't want to find that out.

The next earliest search result, from 15 December 2007, is [12], a newsletter(?) from Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Looks like a translation of its English article if you look at #2 on page 15.

In any case the nomination is bizarrely justified: it names specific honors that she doesn't have and journals she doesn't publish in rather than looking at what she has done. Anyone, even the most blatantly notable, could be criticized in the same way, because there's always going to be some specific honor that they haven't achieved. Additionally, I find the sudden appearance (on the article talk page) of three different IP-address editors with very few other contributions other than to try to delete one other female mathematician's article (Eugenia Cheng) quite suspicious. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:13, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

""Remove"" - I am the person who proposed deletion. Eppstein mis-characterizes my criticism. I did not indicate the someone must have *every* indication of notableness that I mentioned, but they

should have at least one. Bellow has none. As for journals, PNAS hasn't been a top journal in math for at least 50 years, and TAMS is a lower-tier journal - as is well-known and easy to check via impact factors (although I personally don't love these). Bellow has a lot of citations for a textbook, but then a very small number for all the rest of her papers. Eppstein's implication that I somehow have a bias against female mathematicians is insulting and wrong (especially since I am married to one!). I simply think these kinds of very weak, self-promotional Wikipedia entries are harmful. It seems like I am in the minority here. I accept that.

Recheck your assertions. :) The NPR article is four paragraphs, and only mentions the label because they released the song the article is about.

Music-related items are notable because they win industry awards, not niche things like somebody's Top Ten List or a reader's poll. MSJapan (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Completely non-notable and largely fabricated article that fails
WP:OR – I'm not even sure this doesn't qualify as a speedy delete under G3 or A11, but the original PROD was contested so it has to go to AfD. The article creator was indefinitely blocked for multiple sock accounts, mostly making inaccurate, dubious or made-up claims regarding guns [14]. The facts, as stated in the two Spanish-language references, are that on July 8, 2013 there was an weapons amnesty in the district of Usme in Bogotá. Among the weapons handed in to the police was a homemade rifle – there were also homemade grenades and homemade pistols among the other weapons. And that's all the references tell you. The name of the gun/article (it translates as "automatic rifle Bogota" for those who don't speak Spanish) appears to be made up by the article's creator, as is the "catalog number" which appears to have been created from the initials of "Fusil automático Bogotá" and the 5.56 caliber... although as the caliber is not mentioned anywhere in any of the references, this also appears to be a fabrication. The description of the gun in the article is also original research, as there is no description of it in the Spanish-language references – it seems to come from the English blog used as the third reference and the editor's own analysis of the pictures of the gun in the news articles. In short, an effort has been made to present the gun as some kind of unique historical artefact worthy of a Wikipedia article, when in fact it's just something that was knocked up in someone's back yard.

Upmerge' to some broader scope article (as previously discussed on the article talk: page). I can't argue against the technicalities of the AfD here. But I do think there's a notable topic and scope for home-made firearms within this conflict. Such firearms have been a significant aspect of many similar guerilla conflicts and the particular constraints of a conflict have influenced them in a notable way - compare the crude 'stick and nail' zip guns of the Mau Mau and the 80% receivers in the current US. The situation in Bogotá is similar to the US - ammunition and barrels are freely available, but the desire is for automatic firepower. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:37, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Andy Dingley: you say "within this conflict" – which conflict are you talking about? If you mean the war against the FARC guerrillas, this has absolutely nothing to do with them. The sources don't mention any relationship with the guerrillas, and living in Bogota and knowing the city, I would be absolutely amazed if this had any connection with the FARC whatsoever, because they don't operate (at least overtly) in the major cities. Also, they are one of the richest guerrilla organizations in the world and can buy the finest weapons known to man – they certainly wouldn't be bothering with anything homemade. I would bet everything I own that this was a weapon created by a member of a small-time gang (Usme is a poor and fairly dangerous part of Bogotá) in order to fight with another gang or to use against the police, just like any other poor barrio in any other South American country, reagrdless of whether it's suffering from an internal conflict. This gun is one of hundreds, if not thousands, of homemade weapons made every year, even in countries with no fighting (I bet the police recover many homemade weapons in the US, for example). If you want to create an article about homemade weaponry in general I have no objection, but this article should absolutely not be merged into any other article regarding the guerrilla conflict in Colombia, because it would be original research and completely false.

Minor politician lacking adequate coverage to provide
WP:NPOL reddogsix (talk) 13:32, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

Under
WP:NPOL
the individual in question meets the criteria for section two, and three. There are several local politicians that have their own Wikipedia with the less or the same number of sources that are provided.

Under the General Notability Guidelines: "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. All the sources I have provided are secondary and are made up of notable newspapers, and news websites that focus specifically on the individual written about in my article."Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits." The individual in place despite being involved in Local politics has received national, and extensive press coverage about his policies, and his campaign to make computer science part of the education.

Ultimately I believe that the article I have provided has provided enough independent secondary sources that establish notability, as the individual is a popular local politician and has extensive articles writing about the individual. Hence I think that the deletion of this article would be unjust as I have proven how the individual in the article meets all of the notability issues. Although he is a local politician, this does not disqualify him from having a Wikipedia article being written about him. The fact is that there are several secondary about the individual in question and just because he might be a local politician this does not warrant deletion. The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide a knowledge as long as it's on a topic that has several secondary sources that prove the importance of the topic. I would understand why this article might be deleted if the sources involved about me or a campaign page as these sources would not provide proof of notability. I have however provided several sources on the local level, provincial, and national level concerning the notability of the person in question.

Atomic Jihad (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Jihad Stats)

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

Delete: This article fails WP:NF, as it is not a notable film deserving of its own article.
- The article is the work of a single editor, who contributed the article's entire content during a one-week period in December 2012.
- That lone editor, Bonkers the Clown, appears to have been indefinitely blocked from Wikipedia in 2014.
- This article was first nominated for deletion by AbstractIllusions within days of its creation, and the main reason given for tentatively keeping it was that it was new, but that it needed substantial improvement. But in the nearly *four years* since then, the article not only hasn't been improved, it hasn't even been touched except for a couple of hyperlink cleanups and a promptly-deleted attempt at vandalism.
In terms of the specific WP:NF guidelines, it fails on every count:
1) It was a direct-to-DVD release produced by the director's own production company. The film has ZERO reviews by nationally-known critics; the only two reviews cited in the article are from a blogger and a user-submitted Finnish source (and which merited being deleted even if the article itself isn't, due to lack of notability, and which in turn will leave the article with virtually no content at all).
2) It is not historically notable. There's been nothing non-trivial written about the film since its release. The three non-review resources listed are a promotional interview with the director, and two articles about the director's other endeavors that merely mention this film's title in passing.
3) It hasn't received any awards at all.
4) It's not part of any historical archive.
5) There's no evidence that it's part of any curriculum at any school.
The only plausible ground for notability is that the director is notable. However, 'Atomic Jihad' is not a major part of his career, and as the WP:NF guidelines state, a separate page should only be created if it would clutter up the biography page. And there's only one or two sentences' worth of actual content here, the equivalent of nothing more than a promotional blurb. Lorencollins (talk) 13:06, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect via {{r from film}} to the film's author, Joel Gilbert, is more appropriate than outright deletion, considering that the film does exist in reliable sources as passing mentions.

Delete The article has long passed its chance for a tune-up, and four years is ample time to wait before deciding that the article really can't be improved. It's also more than enough time to measure if the article's subject receives consistent, continued coverage, which it hasn't and it never received significant coverage to begin with.

Delete per
WP:DEL7. This is one of the worst cases of BLP violations I have seen. None of the sources have any mentions of the subject and yet the entire article is full of allegations about how she is a murderer and traitor and how her family members are the same as well. This is nothing but an attack page. The article contains links to some private Facebook accounts and accuses them of being aliases for subject herself. All of this while none of the references in the article contain anything about the subject and neither does a search for the Arabic name bring up anything.

That's entirely incorrect. We are absolutely here to judge whether a source is indeed being independent and reliable, on a case by case basis if need be. We are not somehow obliged to put in a piece of blatant churnalism because it appears in a soi-disant RS and then treat said reprocessed press release as if it is A+ first-rate editorially-verified information you can absolutely rely upon.

Comment and analysis - The two sources listed after my comment above are one I examined as it is, and it was PR simply advertising what the company is, their services and what the company has to say about itself, the second link is the same where there was no actual substantial journalism. The Keep vote suggesting that new sources have been added is also simply adding the same sources that simply advertise what the company is about and what it wants to say about itself, not the specific news we need that is both establishing of independent notability and substance. The comment suggests that the news focusing with the HB2 bill are enough, but they are actually not, because it's outweighed the fact the entire article then still looks like a business listing, and to be honest, mentioning what the company's activities are, in this case the HB2 bill, are still advert-like.

Delete per

; the article exists to promote the business. In addition, sources offered above and in the article are not convincing; they are routine. This is an unremarkable SaaS startup going about its business. The coverage is routine, of funding, customers and partnerships, and minor awards, such as:

"In 2015, Adzerk was ranked #262 in Inc. magazine's list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the United States." (typical of such promotional articles).

Comment - This was in fact an established Delete here alone, because the supposed improvements were not actually substantial and they were simply trivial in moving a few things around (the trivial improvements were in fact before and somewhat hours after the nomination, and yet another week has passed, and no actual improvements, that suggests enough by itself), certainly not convincing.

Keep The sources provided by Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs) demonstrate that the term "proactive communications" goes beyond a dictionary definition.
As one book published by Springer Science+Business Media provided by Northamerica1000 notes:
Today, individual organizations engage in public disclosure practices, provide corporate donations and sponsorships, sign on to principled ideals from institutions of moral authority (e.g., sign onto the UN's Kyoto Protocol), and participate in conferences, public discussions, and open panels.
Their communication may be proactive or reactive. This chapter focuses primarily on proactive communication:
Proactivity has come to refer to a more or less unspecified set of nondefensive or nonreactive practices through which organizations handle their relations with the external world. Instead of waiting for threats and opportunities to become manifest imperatives, the proactive organization attempts to influence and shape external developments in ways considered favorable in terms of its own aspirations. (Cheney and Christensen 2001, p. 253)
Some organizations position themselves as proactive when they are actually engaging in a discursive fiction (i.e., saying they are taking positive actions when they are not) (Zoller and Tener 2010). True proactivity requires involves working with multiple and varied stakeholders to anticipate potential harms and to adopt environmentally sustainable practices (Bullis and Ie 2007). True environmental leaders make sustainability initiatives and communication an integral part of their core business strategy; create alliances to foster progress on targeted sustainability issues; implement Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting and fully and transparently meet the standards; integrate sustainability into corporate stories, mission, vision, and values; and direct varied, yet complementary, communication toward key stakeholder groups (Peloza et al. 2012).
That a chapter in a business book published by Springer Science+Business Media focuses mostly on "proactive communications" strongly establishes that the concept goes beyond a dictionary definition.

WP:DINC out of the way, which applies to the original nomination statement. A mere suspicion that an article has been written by a COI editors is also not a reason for deletion. Those aside, there seems to be no agreement amongst editors as to whether the sources provided are sufficient to make this a notable subject and a suitable topic for an article.

SwisterTwister talk 19:47, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Argument for page to remain

Dear all,

I would like to argue the case for this page to remain. I reference the following Wiki entry about a 'competitor', PrivateFly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrivateFly, which follows a similar format, laying out the history of the company and the company's services.

I would suggest that the proposed content for Stratajet is similar and, most importantly, entirely factual (as per the references). Yes, of course there is an 'advertisement-y' element to this but surely that's the case with all entries that reference companies - aren't they designed to talk about the relevant company's services? The PrivateFly entry is similarly promoting the company's services.

The question of 'coverage' is referenced above - by this do you mean media coverage? If so, there is a multitude of media coverage on Stratajet across Europe and U.S, in publications such as GQ, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Financial Times, Business Insider, Yahoo!, Marketing Week, Tech City News, Aviation Week, and many more. Would it help to reference more of these articles?

I will naturally do whatever I can to more fully build the Stratajet copy, so would appreciate any advice. There is a lot of additional information that can be supplied to make the page more 'concrete', for example partnerships (similar to the PrivateFly page), which I will continue to build into the page.

Of course I would also be grateful for any other advice on how to make the copy less 'promotional'.

I look forward to hearing people's thoughts.

Keep - I agree with the nominator: this article can easily be fixed by the usual editing process. I dunno what searching the single delete voter above did, but it evidently was not a very good search, or they simply have no understanding of what significant coverage means when dealing with a company or organization. Here's just a few samples of that significant coverage to start with:

This website lets you book private jet rides that are cheaper than some commercial flights from Business Insider

Stratajet: private jet hire made simple from Financial Times

How to fly by private jet for economy prices from GQ

Fancy a private jet? There's an app for that from CNBC

Web Summit: Investors line up to get on board private jet hire company from The Irish Times

and more. Now the user that voted delete above can reply to this vote in an excessively verbose manner to once again give us all evidence that they do not understand what significant coverage is. Go! -- 1Wiki8........................... (talk) 19:25, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Commment and analysis - First of all, there's no need for personal comments and attitude such as visibly shouting out to analysis (such as visibly showing personal criticism of what other comment are listed here), since this is what an AfD is about, so any refusal about acknowledging and considering how those sources are PR, is that the headlines are PR themselves, "This website lets you book private jet rides that are cheaper than some commercial flights", "private jet hire made simple", "Summit investors line up to get on board private jet hire company" (FYI, it's an interview), all of that is PR and PR alone, simply citing that the major news source talked or mentioned them is entirely PR, in that the company is the only and, honestly best source, for any information about the company itself, and the fact this is a company that would clearly accept PR for their business, it's not surprising. Everything else from those articles never talk about anything else than interviewed information or company activities, which is not an article in itself, it's a business listing. The BusinessInsider itself begins with a "Strajet bills itself as...." which is then followed by what the company offers and how the company started, that's not journalism, that's PR, and blatant PR at that. With this said, these would not serve any actual improvements to the article because the entire article currently then actually looks like a PR piece itself, by having not only services but then other trivial information only clients and investors would want to know. None of those sources therefore could be called "significant, substantial, independent news or PR-immune". As always, deletion as advertising is an excellent explanation for deleting, especially if the only sources are they themselves advertising.SwisterTwister talk 19:43, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Response to "Comment and analysis'

I would like to thank people for taking the time to comment/post here and I reference another similar Wiki page to support my below points: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_(jet_charter_company). Victor is a 'competitor of Stratajet, so particularly relevant in this case.
The coverage of Victor is highly promotional / 'blatant PR' in the same way that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SwisterTwister highlights is the case for Stratajet. I would suggest that, even though the 'coverage' of Stratajet has so far been positive, it is nonetheless coverage - the articles have merely been written in a particular way due to the proposition of the company. If you look at the Victor 'references' they are as follows:

Reference 1: http://uk.businessinsider.com/victor-app-uber-for-private-jets-2015-3 ... Victor — 'Uber for private jets' - this is a promotional article that also quotes the Founder as saying, "We make it cheaper by removing the broker. It's a really simple process — it's quick, easy, and there's just one fee."

Reference 4: http://www.worldfinance.com/markets/how-victor-is-opening-the-skies-to-private-aviation ... Victor is opening the skies to private aviation - again, this is PR. The Founder is quoted: "This transparency puts power back in the hands of private aviation customers."

Reference 5: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/8700083/Private-jet-share-business-born-out-of-frustration.html ... Victor, which aims to open up the world of luxury travel to the wider market - the opening sentence says, 'It began as a brainwave ...' and the article promotes Victor's services: 'allows members to book spare seats on private flights already chartered by other travellers'.

I would suggest that these references have precisely the same tone as the Stratajet references but obviously the Victor page has remained, so there is no valid argument for the Stratajet page to be deleted.
Thank you for your consideration. Jamesgwinnett (talk) 15:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and analysis - Not only are nearly half of the listed sources above actually mentioned earlier, but the different ones actually then go to mention the same things, what there is to advertise about the company and that alone (The Italian article even goes to start with a flashy photo"). The Spears is as blatant as these others, it begins with a flashy photo of the man and his plane....and it's then an interview, with finishing with the best part of course! .... "Stratajet is available in", not only was that businessman-supplied information, but it's advertising of course. The CNBC goes to mention the company a mere 5 times, and that's simply a few sentences or so, there's no actual depth or substance, what's else is that the few sentences there are, are simply advertising what the company is and what its services are (another case where there can be no PR-immune guarantee, especially as national a source like CNBC), The GQ article begins with trivial information until going to "Unlike other private jet chartering apps, Stratajet allows you to see final, bookable prices for private jets, rather than quotes or estimates, and can bring the “per person” cost down to compete with business class, first class flights, and sometimes even economy ticket prices. Stratajet also doesn’t require membership fees: you simply look up a flight, book with the app on your credit card or Apple Pay, and head to the airport for your flight".... that's company PR and that alone, there was no journalism happening because it was all company-supplied, and unbelievably like the Spears, it shows the same exact photo and interview with the businessman himself (the next paragraphs are, of course, talking about the company and what it is, once again company-supplied PR). To then state the obvious, each time a journalist came at all close to making journalism sentences, it quickly went to the businessman interview again.... That shows only one thing, that PR agents were clearly involved and they were involved heavily. As always, copyediting means nothing if all the information as shown here and above by my comments earlier, show it's PR and that alone, we are not an advertising platform and no sources should convince us to become one otherwise.

A "camp" and "groups" are totally different concepts. A camp refers to a political alliance with a same goal and cooperate with each other, like the pro-democracy camp and the pro-Beijing camp. But the six localists have not yet formed any form of political alliance. In fact, they often disagree with each other on many issues and hostile to each other. Not to mention the article only refers the localists as "right-wing" alignment on the header but put the left-wing activists such as Nathan Law, Lau Siu-lai and Eddie Chu into a subordinating position which does not reflect neutrality. There are a caucus within the pro-democrat and pro-Beijing parties but that does not yet exist among the six localists. Therefore the so-called "localism camp" (not to mention some wikipedians always make this grammatical mistake) equal to the pro-democracy camp and pro-Beijing camp does not exist. Additionally, until today the media only refers to the localists as "localist groups" but not "localist camp". There are localist groups but no "localist camp". Such camp may emerge in the future, but to state that there is a "localist camp" today is not factual, which I believe is "misleading" (a term UU likes to accuse me for).

Support but not for any of the reasons so far expressed. There is a desperate need in some people's minds to jam disparate groups together under a snappy banner. This is simplistic at best and, at worst, is a disguised attempt to set up an easier target for future demolition, i.e. politically motivated. Before any group should be labelled a "camp", there ought to be solid evidence of bloc activity or co-operation in common outcomes. The various political groups currently espousing localist ideas/policies are by no means cohesive and, furthermore, even mainstream democratic groups frequently make statements with strong localism sentiments at their core, so are they to be excluded or included? My second reason for supporting this deletion is that the page is patent rubbish for (1) labelling the "camp" as "right-wing" (I mean, go figure. What on Earth is that supposed to mean or have to do with the subject? Someone wants to say activist or forthright?) (2) having virtually no worthwhile sourcing and (3) being poorly expressed, unencyclopaedic. My principled objection to this page applies equally to other political pages created for Hong Kong non-existent "camps". sirlanz 13:54, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And I wish to add that I find it pathetic the way people run to rags (such as the SCMP) as some sort of authority for anything more than that wonders never cease what utter drivel can pass both for journalism and English in Hong Kong these days. sirlanz 14:00, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Another way of expressing this objection is that the group being lumped together is simply too amorphous and the term "localism" cuts a swathe across most of the political spectrum. What IS viable for clear definition is Independence Camp. A policy espousing independence from the PRC is a well-defined one and no one is going to be unfairly lumped into it. And, let's not be coy about this, that is what we are really talking about when we try to speak of a political group other than the Establishment Camp, the Democracy Camp and the Fence-Sitters' Camp (poor old Ronny). So someone get real and get the Independence Camp page going and trash this silly page. sirlanz 14:11, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Hong Kong-related deletion discussions. 18:56, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep. Issue on naming or translation is not a legitimate reason to delete an article, especially this concept or these groups represent the voice of
the 2012 legislative election. As a foreigner outside of Hong Kong, I agree with the usages of "Localist groups" (zh:本土派 (香港)) and "Localism in Hong Kong" (zh:香港本土化運動
).

Two possible issues here is some see the "Traditional pro-democracy camp" and the "Localist camp" are exclusive while others accept there is overlapping parts (ideology, actions, and members) between them in different periods. And I think emphasize "right-wing" can be misleading in the English context as the source of this sentiment mainly results from the lack of genuine, open, democratic, free, fair, universal election systems for both executive and legislative branches in Hong kong. What the HK "Localist camp" demands can cover neither or both elements of "right and left" in the political spectrum.

While different media and figures have somewhat different descriptions concerning the scope, I believe this "camp" should include persons with official positions (the six members of HK Legislative Council and other persons of lower level legislative bodies) and the
self-rule or self-determination of Hong Kong, and referendum for the future of Hong Kong by people of Hong Kong, etc. So the six persons are only the top representatives of this camp in the HK government (including different branches). It's not a big deal if they support different means or compete with each other as long as they are pro-democracy, pro-freedom, pro-human rights of Hong Kong people, pro-core values of Hong Kong, and pro-"Hong Kong First". -- Wildcursive (talk) 23:31, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

The fact that a term is used by some people or in the media is not sufficient. The real question for an encyclopaedia is whether or not the subject matter can be cogently identified, defined and described. I support deletion of the page because I defy anyone to provide an uncontroversial list of the purported "camp"'s members. Supporters of Hong Kong localism are to be found far beyond the limits of those who support, for example, independence for Hong Kong. Thus, the "camp" simply does not exist; it is an imaginary construct and if the page is left in WP it will simply provide a talk shop on the subject, flowing backwards and forwards between people of different political viewpoints. It cannot be factual. More generally couched pages such as Localism in Hong Kong suffer the same fate but at least they don't misrepresent reality. sirlanz 03:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Deryck Chan, please note that localist "groups" and localist "camp" are different concepts. They are not a camp also in the following criteria, firstly it is not a single grouping, there are at least three groups with different agendas in those six localist legislators, 1) ALLinHK, believe in Hong Kong nation's self-determination and implicitly supports Hong Kong independence; 2) Demosisto and Lau & Chu, reject the idea of "Hong Kong nation" and call for "democratic self-determination", do not support Hong Kong independence; 3) Civic Passion, amendment of Basic Law and do not support Hong Kong independence. These are three totally opposite ideas and they always disagree and attack each other. To put them into a same camp is definitely misleading. Secondly, they do not have a common caucus or meeting, unlike pro-Beijing camp and its former caucus leader Ip Kwok-him and pan-democracy camp's weekly meeting and its former convenor Cyd Ho. They are not yet a united parliamentary group. I do not refuse the idea that they may form a political alliance in the future, but at this moment, they are only various (at least three) groups with similar ideologies which can be labelled as "localism" (even localism itself is a broad umbrella term with certain controversies). Additionally in response to some points here, the Chinese word "派" does not necessarily equivalent to a single "camp", it could also mean a "school" of thought or various "factions." That could also explain why in the English media there has not been a term called "localist camp" so far. To create such a word would be "original research" as some users mentioned above. Lmmnhn (talk) 09:20, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Detail is Lmmnhn's forte and here you have the meat to my sandwich above. Something less amorphous might develop in future but it simply does not exist today. The page is pure fiction and to preserve the integrity of WP, it must go. sirlanz 09:31, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I respect your attention to detail but Wikipedia seeks to present the current state of human knowledge. The boundaries are fluid but to deny the fact that mainstream media classify these politicians together would be original research. Deryck C. 09:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This issue does not even get to first base on any test of original research. If your test were correct, publication somewhere, sometime, no matter how nonsensical, is enough for a WP page. WP has to be a bit smarter than that or it will continue to get trashier by the minute. And the "original research" cry is a Furphy in the context of this discussion. The objection to original research is to material published in WP pages, it has no place in the consideration of whether or not a page is proper for inclusion per se. sirlanz 10:03, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Deryck Chan, the mainstream media group them together in the banner of "localist groups" (i.e. the various groups who believes in localist ideologies), but not a single English media source label them as "localist camp" (i.e. a single political alliance/caucus that shares the same goals of localist ideologies). In fact, I do not object the suggestion made by some users above to move the title from "localism camp" to "localist groups" with much looser definitions that equally represent both the left-leaning and right-leaning groups (in contrast to the current state that heavily emphasises the right-wing groups). But in that case I think the article "Localism in Hong Kong" has already done most of the job. Lmmnhn (talk) 16:05, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In
TAIWAN, we have Pan-Green Coalition and Pan-Blue Coalition. Some of those parties or political groups (eg. A & B) had ever cooperated or coordinated during election campaigns or for certain issues in Congress while some (eg. C & D) are not. But they, as individuals or entities, have worked together (eg. A & B & C & D, or A & B & C, or B & C & D, or B & D) for some political/social movements. However, the key point is there is a clear line between the two camps --- Pan-Green supports "TAIWAN First, Taiwanese People First" and "One Country on Each Side. TAIWAN is a sovereign state different from dictator China or other countries". They may have different approaches or means. However, they typically have recognizable voting patterns even without any direct coordination. That's enough. No one doubt Democratic Progressive Party (zh:民主進步黨, party flag: green), Taiwan Solidarity Union (zh:台灣團結聯盟, party flag: brown), and New Power Party (zh:時代力量, party flag: yellow) are parts of the Pan-Green even they competed with each other during the election and they never form a common platform together in Congress. New Power Party and Taiwan Solidarity Union members often criticize President Tsai Ing-wen and Premier Lin Chuan
's Governemt are not tough enough toward dictator China and authoritarian KMT. But we all know they share some important ideas and thus belong to the Pan-Green Coalition.

Similiarly, these HK groups may have worked together during Umbrella Movement and other short-term or long-term social movements. It's very likely that the six localist members and other localist representatives in lower HK legislative bodies perform and will perform similiar voting behaviors, recognizable enough from others. It's not a requirement to from an formal or semi-formal alliance during the election or in the legislative bodies. Because the foundamental thing is they all challenge the ruling underground-communists and their authoritarian propaganda. They may have some direct communication not in public, who knows?

The choocing of word (coalition, camp, alliance, groups, etc.) can be discussed. However, the existence of these groups, a group of individuals with a common label or others, and this article can be confirmed. -- Wildcursive (talk) 19:09, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If taking voting behaviours, working together during the Umbrella Movement and semi-formal or informal alliance, these factors into account, the whole "localist camp" can put into the broader pro-democracy camp. Firstly, the pro-democrats and localists are very similar in voting patterns, pro-democracy, pro-human rights and pro-autonomy (despite the localists often criticise the pro-democrats not though enough, exactly the same as the TWSU against the DPP within the pan-Green coalition, in fact it actually gives another point not for the "localist camp", but for a camp which include the softer pro-democrats and harder localists). Secondly, they worked together in the Umbrella Movement, especially Demosisto, Lau and Chu closely worked together with the pro-democrats and the Occupy Central trio, as compared to Civic Passion and Chin Wan who had been attacking the leadership from Day 1. Thirdly, as the news report I posted above, Demosisto, Lau and Chu are going to form a parliamentary caucus with the pro-democrats under a new banner. I think that would be the most recent indication that such a "localist camp" will not be happening. Lmmnhn (talk) 06:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and I meant to comment sooner, the Delete votes are genuine and exact with the concerns since everything there is, is simply what the company wants to advertise itself, the above links are also the case, since it actually to specifics about company financials and numbers, something only the company would know and therefore care to mention, especially to interest clients and investors. Note how the current article largely focuses with exactly that, and it's not surprising because such a new company as this would not only have the establishment and substance needed for a convincing article, the history itself shows 2 accounts ever actually solely focused with this, and that emphasizes the PR intentions and actions if that's exactly what happened here; therefore concerns such as these should be taken quite seriously because that shows the planned thoughts of those advertisers, to think they could simply submit an article with information and sources and no one would care to examine it. Note how the WallStreetJournal is only a few mere paragraphs and all of that is simply company-supplied information since it goes to specifics about what the company is and its services, the next one is literally about the company's activities and partnerships for its own business, and it's no larger than a few thinly-sorted paragraphs, the next one is also literally simply advertising the company's services by showing what its plans are and have been, and the final two are literally simply repeating the company's own mindset and words about where its funding is going and how it got there. When a company has to focus that heavily with either mentioning its involvements with other companies or the fact it needs or has so far obtained money, it shows it has not even established itself yet to not have to focus with sole PR. Once again, considering the concerns here with actual convincing sourcing and then the fact this article itself was not only contributed by advertising-only accounts, the intentions and actions are still there, as if to say the company actually wants to keep this or else this would've actually improved, but a company wanting PR this genuinely is never going to because that's not its field of interest. Suggesting in a snide tone that we simply have to fix this to improve it is not in fact a solution if, once again, this is an advertisement from the start, and therefore we should not compromise by satisfying such blatant advertising by literally keeping it, because if this were actually improvable at all, then it could easily simply be restored when we have actual substance, not simply what PR is available or what advertising methods the company is using. As always, we should not accept sourcing alone if it's simply coming from a major news source, because major news sources can, have and still are publishing company PR so we cannot be so damning to literally presume it's 'significant coverage', without fully and actually considering the concerns. Once we become a manipulated PR webhost, we're entirely damned as an encyclopedia that can be taken seriously. SwisterTwister talk 20:11, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have specific information that would refute that Joe Flint from the Wall Street Journal, Janko Roettgers and Todd Spangler from Variety Magazine, Tom Cheredar from VentureBeat and Ryan Lawler from TechCrunch have supplied significant coverage in reliable sources, please do offer it. I'm not seeing anything of substance in your comments above. -- 1Wiki8........................... (talk) 20:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. To answer 1Wiki8's specific question above:
Joe Flint from the Wall Street Journal. Routine coverage of a startup signing a deal with a customer. Nothing in here that meets the definition of in depth coverage.

Janko Roettgers and Todd Spangler from Variety Magazine. The dateline on this is "APRIL 16, 2014 | 09:01AM PT". Surprise, a google search shows a bunch of coverage by many financial media outlets of this exact event, on this very day. Many of them with datelines that agree to the minute with when Variety released the story. That's because they're all just the same warmed-over press release, which was embargoed until that time. So, that doesn't pull any weight.

Tom Cheredar from VentureBeat. This one's a joke. At the point this article was written, the company had been in existance for 10 months, had three employees, had launched their first product the day the article was published, and had received a single, undisclosed round of angel funding. It's pretty much inconceivable that a company at that stage has done anything worth noticing, which is pretty good evidence that Venture Beat writeups are meaningless as far as demonstrating notability goes.

Ryan Lawler from TechCrunch. Routine announcement (i.e. warmed-over press release) of an early-round startup funding event, in a media outlet which specializes in this type of stuff. Meaningless.

Delete. Pure promotionalism about a promotional company. They would be expected to be good at getting press mentions, and they are. As we have seen here at AfD many times, the accumulation of such references is a sure diagnostic of promotional writing. 1Wiki8Q5G7FviTHBac3dx8HhdNYwDVstRhas it backwards--if an article is primarily promotional and require major rewriting it should be removed, regardless of notability. The provisions of WP:NOT are fundamental policy, and much more important than whether a subject meets borderline notability, which tend to be quibbles about the interpretation of guidelines. If the firm is important, someone will write a decent article, and the attempt at advertising will not remain in the article history. DGG ( talk ) 19:05, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a Keep and

Delete. Given the accusations of homophobia being flung around, I'm going to preface this with a reminder that I'm a gay man myself. But gay topics do not get an automatic notability freebie on Wikipedia just because the word gay is involved — notability still has to be properly demonstrated through the use of
WP:ORG all by itself as the article's only acceptable source. Sure, the organization probably would qualify for a more substantive and better sourced article than this — but none of the sourcing present here gets it over ORG as written. No prejudice against draftifying, to give the creator a chance to make it better than this — but this, as written, is neither substantive enough nor referenced well enough to earn inclusion as things stand right now, and there's no homophobia required to reach that conclusion.

Delete as PR and that alone, because the fact "one of the largest" is not at all close to actually being convincing, the information and sources are themselves PR and we should not let a news source's name affect that, because that's exactly what churnalism is, it's the manipulation and taking-advantage-of the fact these "news" will be taken and published by a known news source in exchange for PR, therefore they cannot at all be taken seriously, exactly as how we were to take seriously the company's own published PR, all of the sources listed show the exact same things, what the company wants to say to its clients and investors, and that's why it was published, because there are certainly no actual journalism efforts from having the news source allow budget cuts to compromise therefore letting the company supply its own information without letting the news source take and make all of the heavywork; all of the sources above focus, I'll specify, with company and business information, funding, partnerships and other company activities, of which said company would know and know it best....and that's exactly what this current article is, specifying and stating every particle there is know about the company, and we know that only happens when the company is involved and is heavily willing to obtain clients and investors. To therefore state that "advertising can be fixed" is certainly not the case if everything is PR and that alone, and we would be kidding ourselves, if we attempted to think otherwise, especially if we actually begin calling republished PR "significant and substantial" (the one Keep vote has then not substantiated themselves after these listed concerns, therefore there's nothing to suggest accepting the said and now-clear PR sources).

Weak delete for now - yeah, this sounds like it could be notable, but it needs sources and right now I don't think there's enough for a whole article here. That's the thing with little "associations" and "community groups", they can often not last long and close when the original participants lose interests or move and they often seem to fade away without any specific source saying when they closed. This website implies it's defunct. Content might easily be movable to any one of many articles on the gay community or policing in California, so just to be clear to the page creator I am not suggesting that this content should not be on Wikipedia in any form, just not as a whole article.

Delete. I'm not seeing any notability here. The two general references in the article (including the one mentioned by Anup) are largely given over to quotes from the subject. Neither shows any indication that the authors of the articles did any research beyond talking to the subject herself. And the one in-line reference is an autobiographical piece. It just doesn't add up to notability. NewYorkActuary (talk) 08:03, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Apart from that those 2 interviews, (primary sources) there is literally nothing else which is available about the subject. Secondary sources are especially required per

Restore older more detailed version at [42]. Bio is linked from El Vacilón de la Mañana. Notability should not be based on personal ethnocentric unfamiliarity. Keith D. Tyler ¶ 06:35, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, that older version cites no referencing at all either — so it is not better or more includable than this version is. And nobody based anything here on "personal ethnocentric unfamiliarity", either — lots of things are
reliably sourced enough that their notability is plainly apparent regardless of whether the reader already has "personal ethnocentric familiarity" with the topic or not, but this as written is not one of them. Notability is not a measure of what an article says, but of the depth and quality of sourcing that is or isn't present to support what it says — no Wikipedia notability criterion can ever be passed just by saying that it's passed, if the resulting article isn't sourced to any reliable sourcing that supports the truth of the claim.

Comment - FYI, I was the one who made it a redirect, and I'm neutral on it. I declined the speedy deletion nom mostly because it didn't qualify as being overly promotional, but it also didn't look notable. I figured a redirect would cut down on needless bureaucracy, and Google searches seemed to indicate it wasnt a hoax. (Though upon closer searching, most hits lacked the "live" at the end.)

Delete. Yes, thee are a lot of mentions and advertorials in G News. But the article is nonetheless primarily promotional,intended to promote the organization. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason.

Merge into Passions. Article does not establish notability outside of the aegis of Passions. Hotchkiss family is notable within the context of Passions. Useful content can be merged into the parent article or another appropriate article. Since aspects of a fictional work are still going to be covered, article or not, a merge suffices in this situation where independent notability can hardly be established, but the content is still notable within the fictional work itself. —Mythdon 13:41, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Inadequately sourced article about a single-station local radio program in a single media market, whose only (unsourced) claim to greater notability than the norm is that its hosts are the first openly gay duo to host a radio morning show in the US. (Just for clarity's sake, they're not the first openly gay radio personalities to host a morning show in the US at all; they're merely the first to do it as a duo rather than solo or with one or more straight cohosts. But our notability guidelines around LGBT-firsts don't allow you to keep generating an endless parade of new historic firsts just by adding the first duo, first trio, first quartet, first quintet, etc., to repeat the same base achievement -- once the pink ceiling has been broken once, it's done.) But nothing else in the article is a particularly strong claim of notability, about half the sourcing is parked on
primary sources and press releases, and the sources that are reliable ones are all in the local media and thus fail to demonstrate any wider notability beyond the purely local. Bearcat (talk) 16:39, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Minimally sourced article about a satellite radio program. While a nationally-distributed program like this would be eligible for an article if it were
reliably sourced, it doesn't get a no-sourcing-required inclusion freebie just because it can be nominally verified as existing -- but the only "reference" here is an article on an unreliable clickbait site which isn't about this show, but simply namechecks its existence in the process of being about a person who once appeared on the show as a guest. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes to make something like this notable. The host has a better-sourced standalone BLP and other claims of notability beyond the show itself, so redirecting this there might also be an option -- but the show has to be much better referenced than this before it qualifies for a standalone article of its own separately from him.

Keep - per
existence of numerous reliable sources popping up in google news. Granted, the majority of mentions are just that-- mentions, usually reporting on a variety of notable people who have shown up on the show. That said, the articles are in fact talking about the show, and talking about the 3rd parties who are appearing on the show in the context of the show, which should establish notability just fine. Beyond that, if I took the time to really DIG into the looooooong list of sources google news provides, I bet I could find at least one or two that are articles reviewing or otherwise about the show itself.

Delete, or as a second choice either redirect or merge to Yao Ramesar. This topic seems to have little notability except as Ramesar's own aesthetic, not a topic separate from him.

I came across this article at NPP. I cut out a lot of spam and then searched for sources. Although Google Search gives (too) many links, I am not able to find significant reliable sources. (I searched out three sources, of which two were primary, and the third was quite insignificant; all sources from the same newspaper). I think a Delete is in order, but can change my mind if someone comes up with even a couple of reliable sources that have discussed the subject significantly.

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a satellite radio program. While that is a claim that would pass
properly sourced, it's not an inclusion freebie that entitles a radio show to keep an unsourced article -- but since the show ended its run almost a decade ago, I can't find any referencing on the Googles to fix it with. I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with deep database access to older US media coverage can locate the quality of referencing needed to salvage it, but it has to be deleted if it can't be sourced.

The result was delete. One of several borderline-notable, perhaps borderline-promotional articles that AfD has seen in recent days. As is often the case, the consensus is not very clear at first glance, and valid arguments are made on both sides. But in this case I consider it appropriate to find a consensus for deletion because that side is not only in the majority but more "delete" opinions examine the quality of the sourcing than "keep" opinions do.

Comment and analysis - An article going to specifics who their partners and clients are is not "substance", this article then goes to specifics to state what the company's services and activities are, that's not convincing at all nor should it be if it's only PR; the BlackWeb source clearly seems like a PR-hosting website to republish PR, see "40billion.com seeks to democratize the venture capital process by giving members an easy and cost-effective way to create and distribute a business plan, raise capital through contributions and loans or invest in a start-up. It’s a novel idea....But 40billion.com seeks to do much more than that" (something only the company would to so elaborately say), the article then goes to specifics about its business and plans before it ends at exactly that. The SocialTimes says "40billion.com is a new platform for entrepreneurs’ micro-funding activities. The site matches entrepreneurs and investors online through social networking. It is an online marketplace for friends-and-family funding, or what we commonly refer to us “love money”, microfinance or social lending. Basically, 40billion is giving all of us access to affordable business financing through loans contributions/donations and equity partnerships...Then you invite your friends and family to invest...." (the following sentences then goes to specifics about how to use this company), that's yet another sales pitch in that it goes to specifics about what its activities are, not actual substance. The InformationWeek source goes to say "Atlanta-based 40Billion.com features proprietary online tools that entrepreneurs use to create social networks designed to raise funding, inviting members of their network to provide money in exchange for potential returns or discounts, according to the site...." which not only ends to cite the company itself, but it cites word for word what the company wants to say about itself, that's not independent or news. CNN not only cites it's "coverage for starting businesses", but it only ever mentions the company a mere 1 time and that was because of a company quote.

Comment and analysis - One of the sourced listed is then the BlackWeb which was interviewed information and PR attempts of advertising what the company's services are ("40Billion seeks to...."); the other two are also blatant attempts, one of them begins with "What 40Billion wants to offer you", if that's not a sales pitch, I'm not sure what it is.... Copy-editing means nothing if my analysis above has specifically shown thr concerns, that everything is focusing with what exactly the company wants their clients and investors to hear: what the company is about, its services and then its finances. The next source also then begins with "40Billion let's you raise money...40billion is giving all of us access to affordable business financing through loans contributions/donations and equity partnerships....40Billion is the entrepreneurs platform, matching entrepreneurs and investors....Now, how does 40billion make you money?", these are not journalism words, they are company-supplied information, because no journalist would ever care to advertise a company unless there was something it for said journalist, or that the company supplied it as PR. Once we start accepting "news" that are obviously company-influenced and -supplied, we are essentially accepting advertisements, which causes significant damages. SwisterTwister talk 17:17, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The conversational tone of a reliable source with editorial oversight does not make the source unusable in establishing notability. Descriptions of the company's products and history like financing does not make the source unusable in establishing notability. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment re "The article is not promotional; it is neutrally written" -- I do not see it this way. With content such as:

40Billion was started in 2008 by Cornelius Colin McNab, an entrepreneur, inventor, and graduate of
MIT Sloan School of Management. The company had raised $1.05 million in three Series Seed financing rounds.^{[citation needed]} In 2011, 40Billion released social networking tools that let users connect to the site using their existing LinkedIn or Facebook profiles, as well as import contacts from email programs like Gmail and Microsoft Outlook.^[1]

...the article is not in compliance with
WP:INHERIT
notability from his alma maters. (This is typical of such promotional articles, as they need to prop up the founding figures, most often by citing the non-notable companies they had previously founded and then sold to a notable entity. This paragraph is especially desperate looking, since the only "claim of notability" is that the founder can be associated with well known schools.)

The article as it stands has no encyclopedic value and accepting such promotional articles is not in line with Wikipedia's stated policies about promotionalism. Furthermore, volunteer editors' time would be wasted by trying to maintain neutrality of this page. Keeping this article is not in the best interest of the project, IMO.

A short summary of the founder's background is appropriate and not promotional. Redundant descriptors for the founder of a company like "entrepreneur" and "inventor" can be removed. That does not mean the article should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In connections with the response of my own comment above, a source is in fact unacceptable (regardless of where it comes from) if it contains noticeable PR intent and contents, in this case, one and only person who would know about the businessman's own career is the man himself, and that's clearly an attempt to shoehorn flashy PR information about himself, along with the company, because certainly no journalist would have knowledge of that nor the interest to mention it for an article. Let me also say that the Keep votes are not at all actually substantiating themselves to both acknowledging and considering the concerns, let alone take actions about it, because one thing is also certain here, no improvements have actually helped, see this and this, the essence of PR and that alone has stayed, and if at all, keeping it like this emphasizes it worse, including by of course only focusing with the exact information the company itself wants to say, and it's accomplishing this by publishing and republishing PR, by only focusing with such company-supplied information such as who the clients are, where the investing money is coming from, what its services, etc. In fact it's clear alone that this company has actually been willing to keep it like this the fact, not only had an IP started it, but it's not changed at all. To state the obvious, the IP was actually geolocating to the company's locality as it is! There are no actual improvements if an article is PR and that alone, because once we start compromising about accepting PR, that's when Wikipedia has become a PR host, and we need to stop kidding ourselves about thinking otherwise, because it causes severe and noticeable damages. SwisterTwister talk 06:16, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete My goodness, there is no claim of significance here and the sources are seriously atrocious.

SocialTimes This is no article by a staff writer, but rather a freelance writer. Social Times is a niche website and gives over-coverage to social media news. The tone of the sources is highly promotional which makes me doubt that it is a redressed press release, not satisfying
WP:ORGIND
.

CNN Trivial one line coverage, which is a quote by the CEO

InfoWeek Routine news about a product release. More importantly, it uses quotes by the company employees as sources. See
WP:CORPDEPTH
.

BlackWeb This is not a widely read site and doesn't satisfy
WP:AUD
. Plus the column is a personal opinion rather than a journalistic news piece.

Overall this clearly falls short of
WP:CORPDEPTH. The lack of references over a period of multiple years is indicative of the lack of notability. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 20:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply
]
The Social Times article: I see no indication that the article is by a freelance writer. His author page gives his email address as [email protected]. Mediabistro is a subsidiary owned by Adweek's parent company. "Adweek Parent Prometheus Buys Mediabistro Editorial Assets. Includes about 25 sites By Adweek Staff". The article is an independent source because 40Billion has no affiliation with with Social Times, Mediabistro, or Adweek.
The InformationWeek article: The article discusses both the company's product and the company's history. I consider coverage about the company's product to be coverage about the company. The source provides "deep coverage" about the company that "makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization" (quoting from Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Depth of coverage).
The CNN article: I agree this is trivial coverage.
The Black Web 2.0 article: I do not consider Alexa a reliable source. From Wikipedia:Search engine test#Alexa ratings:
Alexa rankings vary and include significant systematic bias which means the ratings often do not reflect popularity, but only popularity amongst certain groups of users (See Alexa Internet#Concerns). Broadly, Alexa rates based upon measurements by a user-installed toolbar, but this is a highly variable tool, and there are large parts of the Internet user community (especially corporate users, many advanced users, many open-source and non-Windows users) who do not use it and whose Internet reference use is therefore ignored.
Alexa discusses how they compile their rankings here. That it is based on a user-installed toolbar makes it unreliable.
That the article is by a columnist does not mean it cannot be used to establish notability. The article's author wrote:
In the end though I feel 40billion.com comes up short. For one, business plans are all over the internet and it does not provide a tried and true approach to writing a winning plan. Also, treating every business in any industry the same when it comes to start-up financing may also not be a good idea.
This criticism of the company clearly demonstrates that the source is not promotional. This is contrary to SwisterTwister's comment about the Black Web 2.0 source that it is "PR attenpts of advertising what the company's services are".

Delete. This nomination brings up two questions that have not yet been resolved by the community. First, to what extent (if any) does a commercial organization inherit notability from its clients? And that does indeed seem to be a relevant question here -- if Wal-Mart and McDonald's had not been the subject's clients, would we even be having this discussion? Second, there is the more subtle question of whether we should be according any special treatment to organizations that engage in the business-to-business sphere. It is certainly true that such organizations generally have a tough time satisfying the general notability guidelines, because the mainstream media has little reason to talk about them, let alone talk about them in depth. But on the other hand, Wikipedia is intended for the general reader, so one can reasonably ask whether such organizations should have articles here.

Has the subject been a significant player in its field? No, it hasn't. It might be helpful to correct a misstatement made by one of the earlier discussants -- the subject was not the sixth largest ad agency in the United States, it was the sixth largest independent agency. Let's look at some numbers. The article tells us that just prior to losing the Wal-Mart account in 2007, the company's annual revenue was $550 million. But at that time, global advertising revenue was on the order of half a trillion dollars, with the North American market accounting for about a third of that. So, if we measure market shares by rounding off to the nearest whole percentage, the subject doesn't register in the global market, and doesn't even register in the North American market (and by "not register", I mean that its market share is 0%). In order to get a non-zero result, one has to look at fractions of a percentage, at which point we can say that the subject accounted for 0.1% of global advertising revenue.

The subject does not have an entry in the Advertising Age encyclopedia -- the cited link is to the entry for Wal-Mart. As for the entry in the Internal Directory of Company Histories, I can't shake the feeling that the directory is a "pay for play" arrangement (though I'll be happy to look at evidence to the contrary). In all, the subject has not been significant in its field, and an article on it is not appropriate. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:52, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear,
WP:GNG based on the sourcing I'm seeing. I disagree with you that the subject has not been a significant player in its field. This agency created the Happy Meal. See this and this. The company also coined the "Make it a Blockbuster Night" slogan. These are notable, well-covered activities. Safehaven86 (talk) 22:16, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

Delete -- switching to delete per analysis of sources by NewYorkActuary. The AdAge link offered above is not sufficient; it actually explains that the company is not very significant:

"It's devastating," said one agency-search consultant. "They've used Wal-Mart as a credential to get a number of regional and b-to-b clients. In one sense, they don't have that credential anymore. In another sense, they do retain all that retail experience."

K.e.coffman (talk) 00:05, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The cultural significance of the Happy Meal alone indicates that this listing should remain. While agencies tend to exist behind the scenes, the weight they add to the cultural landscape make them worthy subjects for listings. Ads have impact. See this ad. Hugely impactful, and if someone wants to know more about the agency that created this ad, and other ads, Wikipedia should be a resource for them.--Joshuald (talk) 16:07, 30 September 2016 (UTC)User:joshuald[reply]

The linked Times article does not mention Bernstein-Rein, and says that the idea belonged to a McDonald's regional advertising manager. Notability is not
WP:INHERITed from a notable entity; it needs to be demonstrated independently. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

@Joshuald: Welcome back to Wikipedia. I trust everything has been well during your five-year hiatus. In your former tenure here, you did a fine job of developing the Happy Meal article, including giving Bernstein full credit for his role in creating it. But this is what typically happens -- a person who plays a substantial role in an encyclopedic topic gets a discussion of what they did in the article on that topic. You haven't made a compelling case for having a stand-alone article on Bernstein's company. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per analysis by User:NewYorkActuary. Yes, they developed the Happy Meal, but nobody seems to have paid much notice to them because of it... at least not enough attention to get substantial coverage in independent sources. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:28, 8 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Delete as all of the listed sources are PR in that they advertise the company's business and activities and what there is to say about it; there's no inherited or automatic notability from simply having the source be a major news source, as that's simply a shoehorn attempt at establishing "news".

~~Fails~~
WP:CSD A7. It's been around for a while, and has had a chunk of content stripped recently, so I'm opting for AfD on the basis that there might, maybe, be something in history to invalidate CSD. Murph9000 (talk) 08:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

I'm confused.. the article in its present shape makes a solid claim of notability (you can try to
WP:BEFORE
.

And to be blunt, I'd term it a ridiculous assumption if you are still questioning the existence of notability after seeing multiple reliable sources in my !keep rationale. I partly gets what are you asking for, and I will throw in there some refs from mine previous find. If you are still not satisfied, there is nothing I can do. We should better wait for others to jump in and weigh in their opinion.

Unrelated note: you pinged my secondary account. if you hover on my signed account name for few seconds it will reveal my username as, Anupmehra (I'm unrelated to topic under discussion. In India, last name is not really family name, it's a bit complex).

@
Anupmehra
: Sorry for pinging the wrong username, an unintentional error pasting the wrong part of your sig into the ping. The article has changed significantly since my last comment. It does now have a verifiable notability claim, and significantly improved sourcing in general, so I have withdrawn my nomination. At the time of nomination, based on the evidence reasonably easily available to me, it looked like notability may well have been lacking, and the tag for lack of notability had been present for almost 2 years (added shortly after it was created in 2014, then apparently ignored). Had I been certain that notability was lacking, I would have just tagged it under CSD. Since it was unclear due to the long standing problems with the article, AfD seemed like the best way to address the issue.

In essence, I was challenging most of the prose in the article as
WP:BLP
policy. I did see your sources here, but they needed to be in the article. Thanks for significantly improving the verifiability of the article.
