To begin with this page is a biography of a living person containing no reliable sources. IMDB is not a reliable source, and it is meant to be a comprehensive listing of all actors appearing in film, at least films produced within the Hollywood system and some other similar high budget film making systems, which Wikipedia does not seek to be. Wikipedia requires "multiple significant roles in notable films", or if no significant roles, than the actor has been cited as a major contributor as a character actor. What I was able to find was mainly things like an interview on a local news website done with him because he was in town for a convention, nothing that rose to the level of substantial 3rd party coverage in reliable sources, which is what we need for the general notability guideline, and he does not fit any notability criteria for actors.

Absent referent
Googling "useful idea" produces many hits. So why don't we have a Wikipedia article about it, with sections In agriculture, In biology, In chemistry...? The reason is that the term just means "an idea that happens to be useful". Beyond that, nothing coherent can be said about it in general, and any attempt at an article will produce a haphazard mishmosh of unrelated stuff. Same story for "absent referent", a term that also has many ghits, but for which the only commonality in the various uses is the meaning of "a referent that happens to be not physically present". Much if not most of the article's content is original research, mostly in the form of

- Do not delete. Yes, the phrase "absent referent" can be used in any odd context to refer to a referent that is not present, but there does additionally exist a well-defined concept known by that name. I don't know if it's notable enough to ultimately have its own article. The one we currently have is absolutely hopeless, so we should at least turn it into a redirect to the article about the apparent originator of the term Carol J. Adams, where the concept is explained. An alternative would be to create a dab page listing that, as well as pointing to Failure to refer, which I reckon is the topic most relevantly representing the more generic uses of the phrase. – Uanfala (talk) 22:09, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment As best as I can tell, the supposed connection to mathematics is ]
- Complicated. First, I think Xor's removal was totally justified, so I'm just looking at what's left now. Unafala brought up an interesting point about use of the term by Carol Adams. But apparently she didn't coin this term; in her own words, she "politicized" it. I honestly don't know if it would merit an article on its own (my guess is no, but I could be wrong), but there's nothing in there now, so it's kind of moot for the time being. A redirect wouldn't be terrible, but I'd say wait until the article gets deleted (if it gets deleted) before making a new one. The stuff about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is bunk. That just leaves the bit about ASL. It does actually seem to be a technical term used in talking about sign language. Again, I don't know if it warrants its own article though, or if it could redirect to something else. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:25, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- As far as ASL is concerned, the notion of absent referent is only meaningful in the context of indexing (pointing), a form of signing that is not even mentioned on Wikipedia. While interesting, the handling of space-absent versus space-present referents by indexing is at a deeper level of detail than the current treatment of other aspects of ASL. --Lambiam 11:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- I see. In that case, I'd probably just say go ahead and delete, and if anyone wanted to take a stab at the Carol Adams usage, they'd certainly be welcome. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

This appears at first glance to be an exemplary organisation. However, the references are clearly press releases and interviews with nothing about all the successes that should surely have followed such investment. It claims to have been around since 2011 but provides no evidence of the success of any of its many projects. To benefit applicants need to be a "member of V Adept Energy", yet nowhere is it clear how to become a member.

Note that User:11thmilestone, who previously kept restoring the page, was blocked as a sock puppet of the editor who made today's restoration.

- Redirect to List_of_named_corners_of_the_Snaefell_Mountain_Course#Windy_Corner per prior consensus. The target section already sufficiently covers the subject, which is not notable for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect, per previous RFC and all rational discussion over many years. If I had noticed the editor had restored the article I would have re-re-re-re-re-redirected it to the list-article which I opened, partly to provide reasonable resolution of this . I believe leaving edit history available in the redirect is helpful for future reference, to hold accountable the parties involved when they argue on and on, in the future, as is likely. Please note this diff in which I report that the main force involved had basically lied about what their key source said. They claimed the source established Windy Corner was an area of open moorland. They failed to respond adequately to requests they provide photocopy or other proof of what their sources said. I bought a copy of the main source and found that it absolutely did not say what it was claimed to say. Not to put a fine point on it, but they were caught redhanded in a lie. I similarly disbelieve the same editor's assertions now present in the current version/fabrication of the article. There is no merit to this article; it should be redirected and I don't think this AFD is even necessary. --Doncram (talk) 23:36, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- I appreciate User:Andrew Davidson's view that a named feature with lots of coverage should be kept, but they are assuming that information currently in the article is accurate, when it is not. It is twisted rubbish. We need not assume good faith when it is not merited, as here. Here is another diff from AFD on similar article where it was established that claim of Site of Special Scientific Interest was a lie, too, when a different editor got the source. Now this Windy Corner article has a SSSI claim which I expect is false, too.
- By the way, when looking at the main contributors contributions to look for this, I see that they have just recently made disruptive move, obviously controversial, of the Snaefell Mountain Course article, with edit summary claiming that it is not controversial. The sheer volume of shiite in AFDs, Talk pages, as well as put into the articles in mainspace related to Windy Corner and other Isle of Man race-course corners is cumulatively amazing and massively disruptive to Wikipedia. I would contribute evidence if someone would initiate a permanent topic ban from this area for the involved editor. --Doncram (talk) 00:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)]
- Keep The article passes WP:BURDEN.) The editor USER:doncram has also repeatedly vandalised two other other articles with spurious objections, in particular removing any citation mentioning the word "moorland" and replaced a title line for a BRD discussion to avoid BRD process. Despite misunderstanding amongst editors, the editor USER:doncram has also asked Wikipedia to reinstate the Ginger Hall article after it was deleted (see talk page:Windy Corner.) The editor USER:doncram has also used the Request for Closure to prematurely closed down a copyright enquiry in regard to the same List Article (now either archive, suppressed or both) and despite this, Jimmy Wales and Wikipedia is very clear that for copyright in non-US countries has to be observed.]
The editor USER:doncram has never historically given an alternative explanation or definition for the heath and heather moorland, despite the numerous references in secondary sources (see talk pages for Windy Corner, Keppel Gate and Brandywell articles) and in this edit uses the term "moorland" [[1]]. The editor USER:doncram has also mentioned a publication and the citation was explained in this edit on the Windy Corner talk page [[2]]. The publication writes on page 81 or page 59 depending on the version;- "...Cross the style and enter the "mountain land"...." Where is this style ? It is actually the most southerly boundary of the area of Slieau Lhoost which was purchased in 1933 as shown in the revised article. It is the same area which is an ASSI as defined by a "SC3781 A portion of the south western slope of Slieau Ree" and the same author writes about "heather and ling" which only grow on acidic moorland soil and is also the same moorland as referred to be in this same edit [[3]]. The report Habit Survey 1991, gives an 'arbitrarily' moorland definition as peat soil being greater than
25cm50cm. The soil depth of peat in this areas is greater than 50cm which qualifies for the definition of "moorland" and in the area of Beinn-y-Phott it is greater than 3 metres.In regard to other comments it is not clear what the editor is referring too. In the Keppel Gate article a recent publication for 2017 stated that R.O Clark crashed at the
"33rd Milestone."For the other article, the 2017 Isle of Man TT Race Regulations clearly states "Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit" and not "Snaefell Mountain Course." agljones(talk)11:27, 31 December 2017 (UTC)- User:Drmies Please can you comment on the claims made about you above; specifically i) whether a redirect was the intention of your close of the RfC and ii) your alleged warning to other editors, and its bearing on this AfD?

What I was suggesting to Atsme was that an admin (such as me) could consider restoring the RfC-endorsed merge ("merge" automatically involves a redirect...). If I was warning anyone, it would certainly be the editor who made this edit--not Doncram, who on multiple occasions reverted that disruptive reinstatement of all that content. One would think that after being blocked for creating a sock to make just these edits, they'd stop doing that. Anyway, if this AfD somehow closes as "keep" (I would find that strange, given the lack of arguments put forward by Andrew Davidson and Aunva6), ... no I don't see how this will close as "keep".

25 cm50cm depth which makes it a moorland, a geographic feature.

- Comment. To the couple good faith editors who have read the page and think it is about a noteworthy geographic feature, could you please you yourself consult and cite any source which says it is an area of open moorland or whatever. It has been debated at length at the talk page and in previous RFC and in long, slow edit war. IMHO it is crap, similar to automatic assertions along similar lines for other Isle of Man racing course stuff over many years. What matters is GNG. Please be specific about what source says what that you believe. Wikipedia is not a valid source, you can't just rely upon this article as the source for what you believe. It is all contended, controversial, fraudulent. :) --Doncram (talk) 21:39, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I have voluntarily abstained from WP for some months, partly due to one hostile editor (elsewhere) and to demonstrate that no admin has any block-threat sanction against me regarding WP:HOUNDing (I can and will 'walk away'); this latter aspect is, however (here and here) preventing me from correctly top-templating (only to be used with the prior sanction of an admin???). Also articles authored by Agljones using sources not available to the public when autopatrolled (removed by Callanecc at sock-unblock, July 2015). Digest my edit summary, then note the source retro-added in the next change, 6 years after the actual article content.

No evidence of notability for this Oxford choir. The references seem to be about demonstrating that individual soloists worked with the choir or sold CDs. Nothing here speaks of notability.

If this is deleted- it proves my point- stub creation is not 'easy'. The user has tried his best and provided a full link- that can be expanded to two WP:RSs. A cursory glance at Grace- shows notability, and it is useful to build up the articles on Maidstone's industrial base and get away from the stereotype Garden of England. I would be interested if an experienced boiler make could expand here on his fire-tubes. Notability does depend on sources not the engineers ability. I googled [11] which goes into detail on the Maidstone explosion, and Ellis innovative design of a steam truck allegedly taken up by Foden. http://steamwagon.com/books.htm advertises a R.A.Whitehead book Jesse Ellis and the Maidstone Wagons 84 pages.

- Delete with a very minimal merge. This is almost pure listcruft and we have had it since 2005! The only part that jumps out at me as salvageable would be to take the lists of writers and directors, remove all the unlinked entries, remove all the redlinked entries, remove any entries that link to the wrong people, remove any entries which point at articles that don't mention Sesame Street, and then then collapse each of these reduced lists down to a single sentence in the main article with the form "Notable writers/producers include...". The rest belongs on IMDB, which the main article already links to. There is no need to have it in Wikipedia too. If there are any other old articles like this which have gone unnoticed for years then they should all suffer the same fate. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:11, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect to Darwin (operating system)#Other derived projects as this is ultimately a non-Apple version of Darwin and brief mention in the main article is appropriate.

- Sorry, just to clarify. This is not a non-Apple version of Darwin. This is the FreeBSD packaging system (created by someone else) that was ported to run on Darwin. That may or may not work.

- I should have pointed to this in the start. Back in 2011 people are posting to their discussion forum asking for help because ports don't compile and the lead developer is responding with "Development is on hiatus until replacements for the proprietary drivers can be found" "Many of the ports will require much hacking. We are not distributing changes until replacements for the proprietary drivers can be found." and that's pretty much the last genuine activity on the discussion forums (or mailing lists barring spam emails). https://sourceforge.net/p/gnu-darwin/discussion/49372/thread/c448f3b5/ AlistairMcMillan (talk) 22:21, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

- Comment. Would like to see a bit more coverage, but the Seattle newspapers from the 1920s to 1990s are not readily available on-line. Hopefully, someone has access and can check those sources. As far as the usual objective indicia of rivalries, several are present here: (i) geographic proximity of the schools (this is an intra-state rivalry between schools located 190 miles apart); (ii) the existence of a trophy (the Cascade Cup); (iii) the existence of an official name for the series (Battle in Seattle); (iv) long history dating back to 1922; and (v) frequency of play (over 100 games played on an annual basis, with a timeout for WWII, for almost 90 years).
- @UW Dawgs: It appears this AfD was premised on the belief that only one game had been played. Given the fact that the series was played > 100 times, would you consider withdrawing this one? Cbl62 (talk) 03:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

- First of all, I must say I am by no means anyone notable, but I love to recognize "valuable" people and document information about them. Since you claim and jump into conclusions that the article is "obviously created by subject or someone very close to him" or that it is a "family history album", I STRONGLY disagree and profess that I have absolutely no relation with, had no idea about or never heard of Michael Rogge. That is, until I recently came to know of some of his works (photographs, videos) on post-WW2 India, especially from some rural areas (which is indeed very rare, and perhaps does not exist outside any privileged British archives maybe) that became very popular in social media during the recent years. Later on, I came to know of his impressive work on South East Asia, Hong Kong and Japan. I also came to know that his works are being used by history/sociology/anthropology students or TV documentaries as primary sources (but mostly unofficially, so difficult to get citations). In fact, the main motivation for this article came from the situation that people who had freely used his work had absolutely no idea about who this person is.
- I fully recognize your right to call this "rubbish" and "a disgrace to WP", but I thought senior Wikipedians would respect my personal efforts to record a brief history of a previously unknown person, but a great soul who has contributed remarkably to humanity. Yes it is true that I have not added many primary sources on the only section on his early life that I have added so far; I added what I got first, and could not do further research as I got busy with my own work schedule. Nevertheless, in true Wikipedia spirit, I thought someone else would contribute with additional sources over a sweet time and absolutely do not expect any to kill my efforts like this. I have to state that it is a work in progress (like the majority of Wikipedia articles), I need time, and I hope to complete it in the next few months depending on my availability.
- Now, I have two questions to you:
- Do you consider only this particular article as "rubbish" and "disgrace to WP" (in its current state), or Mr. Rogge's works also as rubbish and non-notable? If it is the latter (as you may have intended when you said "zero notability"), I would respectfully disagree to your world view and how you consider historical contributions of an individual as valuable or not. FYI I just saw now that Mr. Rogge's YouTube channel (that I had included as a primary reference and which speaks volumes by itself if one looks with an unbiased eye) has over 60,000 subscribers and several videos with million+ views. If you are still not convinced, will this interview on History TV Channel (and associated videos on the Far East) suffice to convince you to give Mr.Rogge "non-zero" (> 0) notability? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp0TljCpCUc. If you are still not convinced, I have nothing more to say than a humble request: please do not to jump into conclusions based on your own views, rather please "try" to recognize the worth of this particular old man who has left a lasting legacy to humanity yet remained in private domain for most of his life until recently.
- If it is just a rubbish article about a notable living person, then do you think it is meaningful for a voluntary "community" like WP to reject a voluntary contribution within 3 days of its creation, rather than giving any concrete suggestions for improvement or at least marking it as a stub article? As a volunteer, I would rather like to learn what should a budding Wikipedian author have done to make it notable? Would you consider it appropriate (as per your definition of notable content), if it is marked as "under construction"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahrudayan (talk • contribs) 06:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Nothing in what has been said by the page creator has addressed the problem of establishing notability through credible independent sources. What is most important, though, is that BEFORE creating a page on the encyclopaedia, the editor must arm him/herself with such sources and provide them in the page ab initio. If the editor fails to do so, he/she must expect the page to be rejected because it is the first principle of this encyclopaedia that the material be independently verifiable. This editor has completely failed in that most fundamental aspect of page creation. It is extremely undesirable for editors to take the view that they know something/someone is notable and they know there are sources to show this somewhere out there but they are not obliged to provide them and they can then expect other editors to come to their aid, do the leg work on the research and provide what ought to have been there in the first place. It is completely out of place to then seek to turn this around and say that I have failed in any respect, e.g. rushing to conclusions unfairly, etc. The onus is in the creator to exercise basic prudence and discipline in page creation. WP is in many respects a junkyard for this failing. sirlanz 09:24, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- We have seen a flurry of IP editor activity on the page since nomination. There is an awful lot of fluff on the page obscuring the true extent of notability of the subject, i.e. that a short amateur documentary and some travel/home movies were made in Hong Kong in the 50s/60s by the subject and which were once screened by a government department organised film festival there. The article dresses this up to look like a professional director's page, lovely filmography table and all. Look below the surface and what you have is an expat banker who loved taking photos and film and set up a film club, resulting in a few fun clips and one little docudrama. I maintain my objection to its publication on the ground that there is insufficient notability here. sirlanz 02:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- The actual facts are: a) Hong Kong Purchased his films for their official film archive, b) several retrospectives of his films have been screened, c) reliable sources like Speigel online have done in-depth profiles on his work, d) He directed and had broadcast several television documentaries, e) he's very notable in the Youtube world, and this has been covered by several in-depth articles in reliable sources, and f) more than enough people have written about him in WP:RS to establish GNG. There's also the issue of insulting an editor who went ot a lot of trouble to create an article on a notable subject. The main issue here in this AfD is how could a nomination by a 'veteran editor' be so far off base, and what's the point of trashing the article creator so viciously on this page and on his talk page?

- Let's keep this debate rational. Anyone interested in facts about this AfD may find a viewing of the article as nominated for deletion instructive. It discloses absolutely nothing notable about the subject. Not a single one of the six aspects of notability described above appeared in it. It gave a folksy history of an amateur photographer expat traveller who did nothing whatsoever worth knowing to anyone except his no doubt proud family members or the subject himself.

- Notability is the issue: if the article is to remain, it must be made clear that the bases are these: (1) one amateur one-man band short of 20 mins made in Hong Kong; (2) one amateur short made with a bank co-worker in Japan (neither short made at a time when film material was in any short supply, rare or particularly unique and against decades of film-making preceding it in both locations); (3) one commercially staged exhibition in Japan; (4) one of many filmmakers screened at one film festival put on in Hong Kong by a government department; and, if you are so inclined (and I am certainly not), (5) made some 150 home-movies/travelogues that people enthuse about (at at time when thousands of people were doing just the same thing worldwide and in the subject locations); and (6) being a great collector of material for publishing on subject's youtube page (and bear in mind that subject is also promoting is book (http://www.bluelotus-gallery.com/shop/hong-kong-fifties-by-michael-rogge). sirlanz 05:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

- Our IP editor is not contributing anything to the decisionmaking process at this point. We need to hear something of substance from the other side of the debate about the crux of the claimed notability. Thousands took fascinating home/travel movies in the 50s the world over; thousands have assembled intriguing collections of all manner of things, historical and otherwise. Many of them have had exhibitions of their collections. Where is the remarkability justifying a WP article? What we need is something in the material itself that reflects something notable from the creator. There is absolutely no evidence of this in the case of Rogge. He did so little more than the average tourist, hobbyist videographer that I do not think we should be promoting his book/youtube promotional interests here. sirlanz 01:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep This is quite a pointy nomination. It's not really necessary to insult so many things-- the article, its author etc. As to the article subject, he seems notable if you do some background searches. Here's a good source on HKmemory, which is published on the government of Hong Kong. That leads me to believe that the Wikipedia article is probably accurate. I see more sources in Google Books, of which some seem to be in other languages. It would seem that at least GNG is established.104.163.153.162 (talk) 05:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Here also is a long profile in the German publication Der Speigel. That just about nails the notability. WP:BEFORE and actually checking for existing sources next time. Here's another profile, this time in French, on a site called globalvoices.org. He is apparently very well known for these films. And lastly, here are two pages by the HK ministry of culture describing a MIchael Rogge Film retrospective. Part one and part two. As the HK government itself says in the articles, "Michael Rogge began documenting Hong Kong on film even before the Hong Kong government formed its own film production department. This is why Rogge’s document of Hong Kong life – adding up to over 200 minutes of footage – has become an extremely valuable artifact for Hong Kong." SO basically all of the nomination criteria here are false-- most importantly, he is notable, recognized and good sources exist. 104.163.153.162 (talk) 06:06, 31 December 2017 (UTC)]

As the most expensive production in China's history at the time of its creation, it seems like its failure was indeed notable enough for an article, if only for the incredible Wiseau-like ineptitude necessary to waste that much money. If the failure of this movie isn't notable, I don't know what failure would be. Is there proof to the contrary?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Satisfies ]
- Comment Sort of off putting to say that I am not judging the article by "our" guidelines here. I took issue with the sources provided (not entirely impressed by the 15 of yours I combed through either), and in researching the band I could not find awards or songs on the national music charts - those are WP:NBAND guidelines that I used to come up with my conclusion - nothing to do with the state of the article. Maybe try not to be so condescending in your response next time? Comatmebro (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)]
- Hmm. You gave no indication in your nomination of having looked beyond what was in the (admittedly very poor) article, and your nomination didn't mention any coverage other than the two sources already cited, despite plenty existing. WP:BAND doesn't require awards or songs on national music charts - they are just of two of the criteria in that guideline. There's enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and criterion 1 of WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 22:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep About half the sources provided by Michig are run-of-the-mill type coverage a professional band receives for mere existence. However, the other half appear to indicate genuine, non-promotional third-party recognition. Should be enough for this subject to merit an article. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep. The short bio in The Canadian Encyclopedia confirms notability, and also provides claims of significance both as co-chair of two major commissions, and as author of what they call "one of the best books to have appeared on the CCF Party". The book, The Dilemma of Canadian Socialism, also has two published reviews [34] [35], not enough by itself for WP:AUTHOR but adding enough multiple reliably-published in-depth coverage of some of Caplan's work to confirm the notability from the encyclopedia article. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)]
- Keep -- combination of available coverage, including in The Canadian Encyclopedia and reviews of books establish sufficient notability for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. The article definitely needs improvement, but in addition to the sources shown above he garners over 1,300 hits in WP:GNG. Notability ultimately depends more on the existence of quality sources rather than their already being in the article — and the necessary quality of sources is very much out there.

Small chain of fitness clubs that doesn't appear to pass GNG.
