John Berry (footballer)

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

There is only one source (the Player's Transfer Database) that indicates that Mr. Berry ever played a single game for Torquay United FC, and that source gives no indication of where this information came from. There are no hits for John Berry in any other football database I've checked, including footballdatabase.com, footballdatabase.eu, soccerbase.com. World Football Net's list of former Torquay players doesn't show him, and neither does a general search of the same site. So basically, we have a person whose claim to notability cannot be sufficiently

verified

.

Even if we operate under the assumption that he did play once and therefore passes

WP:GNG

.

I did an absolutely thorough BEFORE check using the links suggested in {{find sources}}, adding "Torquay", "gulls", and "football" in various combinations, and located absolutely no sources so much as even mentioning Mr. Berry, let alone going in-depth enough to pass GNG. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:23, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - meets
WP:NFOOTBALL per the source above and this, but there is plenty of consensus that passing NFOOTBALL when you fail GNG is not enough (see Oscar Otazu, Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Aleksandr Salimov, Andrei Semenchuk, Artyom Dubovsky, Cosmos Munegabe, Marios Antoniades, Scott Sinclair, Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer, Matheus Eccard, Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Metodija Stepanovski, Linas Klimavičius, Takumi Ogawa, Nicky Fish,Andrei Nițu and Mohammed Al-Jizani, amongst others). For younger players we usually allow a grace period to get some coverage, but that doesn't apply here as he is long retired. I suggest we redirect to Torquay United F.C., as his sole claim to fame is playing for them - and then redirect to 1983–84 Torquay United F.C. season once that has been created.

Very suspicious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeahimadethis (talk • contribs) 00:15, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that all of those radio stations are part of the iheartradio chain. It is not commentary on the item, it is simply a link to the original Valley Report story published on the blogs managed centrally by iheartradio. You need third-party reliable sources that write about the website. Those radio stations count for nothing. I think the one good source you have is Buzzfeed. We'll see what other editors think.

Keep - as pointed out by editor Cunard: Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

Silverman, Craig (2016-05-06). "A Comedian Is Getting Tons Of Facebook Shares For His Fake News Articles". BuzzFeed. Archived from the original on 2016-06-16. Retrieved 2016-06-16. The article notes:

The story is from the The Valley Report, a website that mostly publishes satirical articles. It occasionally puts out a fake news stories like this one in order to drive traffic and revenue, according to its owner, a comedian who goes by the name Dave Weasel.

Weasel, a Canadian living in Los Angeles, said the story is one of the site’s biggest hits since it launched in August. His initial plan for Valley News was to publish satirical articles that offer an element of social commentary. But then he tried his first hoax and it instantly went viral on Facebook.

His first hit was a fake news story about a woman who stabbed her boyfriend in the face because he took longer than 10 minutes to like her selfie. “That one just took off, getting hits and shares from all over the place,” Weasel said.

As noted at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 188#Buzzfeed, Mother Jones for BLP's., "One of the challenges with sources like Buzzfeed is the wild inconsistency in article quality, so it really depends on the specific circumstances. If written by one of their real journalists as a legitimate news item, then it should be fine to treat it as a reliable source." And as another editor wrote, "BuzzFeed articles are, as [the previous editor] says, situationally reliable depending on who they were authored by." This article was by Craig Silverman, BuzzFeed Founding Editor, Canada. Silverman is an established journalist. At https://ca.linkedin.com/in/craigjsilverman, he noted that he was an adjunct faculty at the Poynter Institute, was a managing editor at PBS MediaShift, and was a columnist at the Columbia Journalism Review, The Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star. http://www.poynter.org/author/craigsilverman/ lists his Poynter Institute articles and this article from Poynter and this article from The Globe and Mail verify his background.

Since this article was written by a reputable, established journalist, it is reliable and can be used to establish notability for The Valley Report.

Gamp, Joseph (2016-05-07). "Viral lottery winner 'defecating on boss's desk' news story revealed as fake". International Business Times. Archived from the original on 2016-06-16. Retrieved 2016-06-16. The article notes:

A recent news story that became a viral smash, detailing how a woman defecated on her boss' desk after winning the lottery and amassed tens of thousands of views in the process, has since been revealed as a fake by the story's author. Dave Weasel – who runs The Valley Report, a spoof news site like The Onion and The Daily Mash –admitted to BuzzFeed that the story had been fabricated, but was also one of the best stories to have been published on the site.

...

The piece, headlined Woman arrested for defecating on boss' des after winning the lottery' was the site's most popular article in the site's nine-month history. Reportedly, Valley News earns Weasel "thousands of dollars per month from ads".

...

Weasel, who is based in Los Angeles, stated that he thought the majority of people that read the article believed it to be true on first read. But he claimed that, "Most of the people that share it do not read it."

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Valley Report to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

If you wanted the article merged with the original Wikipedia entry for Dave Weasel, you should've done that instead of having them both deleted a couple weeks apart.

Delete. Lots of references in the article, but they're all just the same (presumably fake) story about the defecating woman. The sources cited above (which look like they're just the same as were presented in the first AfD) don't impress me either. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:38, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hyper Chariot

This seems like a

WP:NOTNEWS situation to me. It's a crowd-funding campaign for a travel tube ala Futurama. While there have been a lot of news reports about this (with flashy headlines suggesting it already exists), it's not clear that it's going to go anywhere (excuse the pun).

Hello all – My pride of authorship aside, I suggest that the decision on the Hyper Chariot article needs to be based on WP’s established guidelines for notability. We would be well served not to make our decision based on the merits of the subject company. That’s a value judgement. Hyper Chariot may well be a flash in the pan exercise in self-promotion. The article is not a puff piece. I included evidence commercial and technical imperfection, to which I expect others to add. It includes a journal article. A successful but low-dollar performance in a crowdfunding effort is a relevant indicator. It tells about the company; it’s not sufficient reason to dump the article.

Notability: The subject attracted the attention of all the London tabloids, Fox, and various tech publications (29 by my count) worldwide. This was all in its first month of public operation. Is that notable? Yes. Is it ongoing? First, that’s not a requirement. Second, if it isn’t, it is still significant insofar as it it’s a reflection of an industry full of dreamers, as well as builders.

Specific to trains-in-tubes, Elon Musk built a test track in California: physical accomplishment. Hyperloop One built a demo system in Nevada: another physical accomplishment. ET3: plans, papers, and press releases only. HTT: seminars and videos only. TransPod: three offices, no product. Arrivo: another startup, plans only. By the time we are done, the floor will be littered with the remains of companies that tried and failed. The story of those efforts, I believe, belong in an encyclopedia that should outlive all of us. In the two days since this discussion started, two new companies were added to the Hyperloop page. There is something going on here. It needs to be documented.

Just my two cents.Rhadow (talk) 12:31, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly merge to
Wikipedia is not a newspaper: a brief flurry of stories, with no indication anyone will remember it in 6 months time. Hyperloop is probably nonsense too but Musk has been talking about it for much longer and it's received much more press - those are the relevant criteria, not the plausibility of the science. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:33, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Delete This is not a notable company, it is vaporware. The only decent source, an article in Journal of Modern Transportation, does not mention the company and was published before the company was founded. An article about the founder's failed political efforts does not mention this company. A YouTube video claims that one of the founders is a psychic. Breathless reprints of press releases by credulous, sensationalistic London tabloids do not confer notability on a company that has raised much less funding than I have personally earned in the last ten days.

First things first: Despite commonly being used as an argument,

WP:N

is quite clear on that as pointed out by TheDragonFire when it says: "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; [...]" (emphasis added). In this case, there is no consensus that she has won "a well-known and significant industry award", so PORNBIO was not met anyway, rendering the discussion moot.

However, what those arguing for keep based on

WP:BASIC

which mostly mirrors GNG. Failing GNG will usually mean failing BASIC however unlike GNG BASIC explicitly allows combining multiple sources with non-substantial non-trivial coverage to establish notability, something those arguing along the lines of GNG should remember.

In this case, there were a number of sources mentioned but dismissed as merely trivial mentions at best, something that was not really disputed by those providing them (whether another user is "anti-porn" or not does not change the quality of the sources provided). Without any demonstration of "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" (

WP:BASIC

), deletion was the only correct outcome.

If you read PORNBIO its pretty clear that its a rough guide and that articles are still required to pass GNG. There is no evidence this does which means the trend at AFD is to give more weight to GNG then PORNBIO in close closes. So not ridiculous but thank you for your input.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, • Gene93k (talk) 14:45, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So lets recap. There are assertions that this passes GNG but no sources have been adduced that actually pass the GNG. This leaves us an argument about a possible PORNBIO pass that I don't believe for an instant is nailed on and a BLP that clearly does not pass the GNG. The trend is to give GNG more weight than PBIO in close calls and there is a wider project consensus that BLPs require proper sourcing. On that basis my reading is that this is a delete. The closing admin might take a different view but evidence (not assertion) of passing GNG and evidence of the significance of the award will help.

Comment -- I question the assertion that "Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Award (which is basically comparable to the People's Choice Awards) for Favorite Female Rookie" qualifies as significant and well known for the purposes of PORNBIO.

Comment. Editor coffman is entirely correct. The source that likened the FAME awards to the People's Choice Awards was the FAME awards' own organizers/promoters. It's a defunct award, one in a series of short-lived awards organized by AVN in hopes of generating another profitable event to supplement its primary ceremony. The FAME Awards failed, one successor, the "Sex Awards", were cancelled when a planned streaming video deal tanked, and the AVN Fan Awards haven't gained any traction and been rebooted at least once.

For the former, the google hits are to a 1) Daily Dot top 20 Sexy Snapchat list of dubious notability, 2) a seattlepi.com false positive, as the porn actress' name only appears in the image caption of slide 5/27, in a story about another woman entirely, 3) a charming tale from the Daily Fail (largely deemed a non-reliable source by this project) about a senior citizen and his sex doll (that he totally does not have sex with, he says) who is modeled after Alektra Blue. The sourcing is rather downhill from there, regrettably. TheValeyard (talk) 03:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I realize it may be bizarre to post the hot day thing however editors are expected to post actual sources which at the time I couldn't be bothered to do, It's better than saying "Oh yeah meets GNG" and not posting anything. –Davey2010^Talk 19:40, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Needs an analysis of Davey2010's sources; if such are not forthcoming, GNG would not be met and since PORNBIO apparently isn't either (unless someone can refute Hullaballoo [sp?] Wolfowitz's arguments) deletion would ensue
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yee-hah, let's analyze those "sources":

"Snapchat Porn" - includes a picture of the subject's mouth and hand and her supposed snapchat ID. Nothing else. Worthlessd.
"Seattle PI" - An article about a different porn performer does not even mention the subject, although she does appear in a group photo in an accompanying 27-image slideshow. Worthless.
"Daily Mail" Includes a picture of an Alektra Blue sex doll in an article about men who own sex dolls. No info regarding article subject. Worthless.
"lfpress" - An article which does not mention the article subject, illustrated with a group photo of porn performers, including Blue, not mentioned in the article. Worthless.
"TMZ" - posed for a photo at a rapper's party. No other info. TMZ didn't even care enough to identify her in the photo. Worthless.
"The Onion" - The fucking Onion. Namedropped in fake article on a fake/satirical news site. Utterly worthless.

Jo-Jo Eumerus, it's obvious that these sources were posted without making one shred of an effort to assess their value. No editor should have to waste any more time going through the rest of the list demonstrating the obvious. Six straight strikes and you're out! Please delete the article now; the appropriate outcome should be evident. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

Perhaps you'd condescend to explain to us exactly how the "snapchat porn" piece, which literally includes nothing more than a picture of the supposed subject's mouth and hand, plus her supposed snapchat ID, constitutes evidence of notability. There's more substantive information provided in the average youtube cat video, after all. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

Strawman. You can include as many "fan awards" as you like, inclusion isn't the point of contention. The contention is that fan awards do not count towards determining notability. TheValeyard (talk) 20:56, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Travis McHenry. There is some coverage[31][32][33] but not much in depth. All coverage is about McHenry and his creations together, rather than just about Westarctic, and since he has 2 micronations he's the sensible target.

Westarctica is a much larger nation than Molossia, with more than 620,000 square miles in Antarctica to its name. None of the nation's 300 citizens live on the frozen land. No one does. McHenry, also a recruiting coordinator in a Los Angeles media company, said he was 'really inspired' when he found out there was a piece of Antarctica that had never been claimed. But Westarctica is not just an empty country. It's also a nonprofit, advocating for the protection of native penguins and researching how climate change is impacting Antarctica's ice sheet. ... Grand Duchy of Westarctica. One of the world's largest micronations, it encompasses 620,000 square miles of the Antarctic, but nobody actually lives there. It was founded in 2001 by His Royal Highness Grand Duke Travis McHenry after he learned no other nation had laid claim to the area. McHenry says he would like to eventually make Westarctica a real country. If he does, he jokes that he'll probably promote himself from grand duke to king. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 11:36, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(6) Top 10 list article. I'm not convinced these are useful for GNG, and I'm increasingly of the opinion that modern ones will likely just be sourced from WP, and hence unreliable.

Redirect to Transformers:_Generation_2_(comics)#Cybertronian_Empire. I see no policy-based reason not to redirect. Low traffic is irrelevant since this is a potential search term and it makes sense to allow people to find where it belongs. Regards So Why 11:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I was originally going to support a redirect, but the character seems to have enough of a presence in the Transformers universe, and even has its own toy. The amount of time that goes into planning, die casting, packaging and distributing these toys suggests that the character is not insignificant. There's lots of fancruft on Wikipedia - but it is part of popular culture so we shouldn't poo-poo it. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Uh... nearly every Transformer character gets a toy. It's primarily a toyline, after all. The toy itself (there's only been one) actually took very little time to plan - it's a different paint scheme on mold that had previously released three other times. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you're more up on this than I am. It's too bad there aren't sales figures to see which ones are more popular than others - that might help also as a gauge of notability. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:45, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If I recall correctly, this toy was exclusive to KB Toys (That's the only place I could find it, anyway), so sales would be skewed downward if they were available. There are some polls showing favorite/most wanted/etc characters, but Jiaxus usually isn't on them and they're reliability is questionable. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Far as I know, it's basically automatic. You publish something and it gets you an ISNI/VIAF automatically. If their bots don't find you on the web, you can obtain one on request. Not selective at all, no relation with notability. --Randykitty (talk) 07:42, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The book notes:

Following early forays into psychology, graphic design, and programming, Nat Hunter became one of the first interaction designers in the mid-1990s, creating interfaces for spaceships in Hollywood movies and then founding Airside, one of London's most influential and idiosyncratic digital design agencies in 1998.
During the 14 years she ran Airside, Hunter began to realize the power that design has to change the world and started to use this power for positive social and enviornmental change.

Airside

Fred Deakin, Nat Hunter, and Alex Maclean launched Airside in 1999. Based in London and having grown to nine people, the agency produces illustration, websites, print, identities and, increasingly, motion graphics for a range of arts and media clients, including the White Cube and Serpentine Galleries in London. Photographer Nadav Kander. DJ Paul Oakenfold. Chanel. Carhartt and Fred Deakin's Electronica Group Lemon Jelly. Airside also produces merchandise which is sold online and is fast becoming collectable: Their most popular T-shirt to date features an image created to promote the Japanese film Battle Royale, released in 2001. The group hopes that the shop, which sells T-shirts, screenprints, knitted toys and models will one day become as important a part of their business as client work.

London-based design studio Airside celebrates its tenth year of business this year by self-publishing Airside by Airside, a 296-page hardback tome choc full of images of the projects that have not only paid the bills at Airside HQ but have shaped the company. However, this is not your typical studio monograph. Dip into the text on any given page and it becomes clear that the intention is not just to show off the work created since the company’s inception in 1999, but also to use the book as a means to contextualise the work within the story of the company’s development.
...
What Airside’s candid account of its first ten years really exposes is the learning curve it has encountered on the business side of things. Many regular cr readers will be familiar with Airside’s T-Shirt Club, the Airside Shop, and with work the company has created for brands such as Coca-Cola, Greenpeace, Panasonic, Orange and for Deakin’s own musical outfit, Lemon Jelly. But some may not know that a lack of business know-how nearly sunk Airside only a few years ago. In 2004, Deakin, Hunter and Maclean had to give their staff a month’s notice as the company’s figures just weren’t adding up.

Airside is to close its doors in March 2012 after 14 years in business. The studio, which made its name originally for website design and animation, says the decision is a ‘voluntary’ one reached jointly by the founders Alex Maclean, Nat Hunter and Fred Deakin.

Airside opened in 1998.

During Airside’s 14 years it has won many awards, including a Cannes Grand Prix and two Best in Books in the CR Annual. It was one of the first significant digital studios to emerge following the dot com crash of the late 90s and quickly gained a reputation for creative excellence. The company currently has nine staff. Its Tokyo branch, Airside Nippon, “will continue to trade as normal,” the company says.

Human contact combined with technical skills is proving the perfect formula for a group of freelance workers in Islington.
In North London, eight freelance workers are using the increasing affordability and accessibility of computer and communications technology to create a new form of working environment. Fed up with working on their own from home, the group - whose skills include designing websites, graphic design, digital media, Internet technical expertise and journalism - joined forces 18 months ago.
They now rent a studio in Islington with the intention of combining the social benefits of a communal environment with the advantages of working for themselves. Alex Maclean, one of the founders of the Airside Studio, says he came up with the idea after tiring of the solitary nature of homeworking: "I was socially isolated. I suffered from boredom and lack of social interaction, and not being able to separate work from home.

One source says, "But some may not know that a lack of business know-how nearly sunk Airside only a few years ago. In 2004, Deakin, Hunter and Maclean had to give their staff a month’s notice as the company’s figures just weren’t adding up." This unflattering information about Airside's having to "give their staff a month’s notice" reflects poorly on the company and its management and would be excluded if the source were not independent.
The source about "Airside by Airside" is a review of the company's book. This is a positive review Both positive reviews and negative reviews can be used to establish notability.

Many "awards", but no evidence of any notability. His works as a poet have not received significant attention as far as I can see, and his work as an engineer not much more. His fellowships are either graduate student benefits, or payed memberships. The only award that is slightly more notable is the "National Award Winner: NFIA (National Federation of Indian Americans) Award in Liberal and Fine Arts, California, USA (2006)"
The only Google news hit for Hillol Ray is an article about a letter he received from Mother Teresa[35], and he doesn't seem to have received attention in any books (indexed by Google) either. Even in general Google search, he only gets 93 hits[36]. Many of the claims are unverifiable (like the "personal recognition" by Bill Clinton and Al Gore), the remainder seems trivial.
Basically, having received one award of unclear importance, and not having received significant attention in reliable independent sources, means that he fails our

Comment - A search of Japanese sources was not easy because there are several other companies called Green House in Japan. Searching for "Green House" with related terms like 機器 and IoT helps a bit, but what I mostly find are announcements about job openings. For news articles, most of what I find are articles announcing the release of individual products ([37], [38], [39], etc.) or of the creation of IoT or other networks where Green House is just mentioned in a long list of other companies ([40], [41], [42], etc.).

Comment from author, thanks for your feedback. I'm happy to leave this unpublished for now. I wasn't sure whether it would pass the requirements. The band is quite successful already, individually as well. They have been recipients of a very large ($45k) grant from FACTOR, which is the Canadian Independent Radio Stations' grant process, to which only a small number of artists are signed each year. We're about to sign with one of the biggest independent distributors in Australia (MGM, Groovemaster) and have a solid following as well as promotion, radio play and media through the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (sadly in Tasmania, they remove their interviews after 60 days) and Parks Tasmania (numerous references online). What we're missing of course, is the mainstream media coverage through music magazines etc. So on your recommendation, do we wait a while until we get this recognition? We'd love to get your advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildiaries (talk • contribs) 06:04, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Wildiaries: Thanks for being so understanding about our admittedly arcane practices! What I suggest is that we park this in the draft space (so it will have the word "Draft:" affixed to the title) for the time being. While it's there we can continue editing it and adding new material, but it won't be part of the encyclopaedia or indexed by most search engines. If/when the band gets to the stage that there are multiple significant articles of coverage in reliable sources, it can then be moved back into the article space without too much fuss.

Kahn is a local level judge, which does not grant default notability. The coverage is all routine. This article was created as part of a broad creation of articles related to a case he was judge over. Being the judge for this one case is just not enough to justify a stand alone article on Kahn.

Fiend (Dungeons & Dragons). BOZ (talk) 04:32, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

Keep The article needs improvement, not deletion. This isn't something like a minor event that is only covered in one trilogy of novels; this is a major, continuing component of D&D, that has been part of D&D for decades, featured across a hundred or so novels, sourcebooks, comics, boardgames, card games, video games, and other media. —Lowellian (reply) 23:30, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- no notability established. The content is largely uncited original research and trivia. The few citations offered are to in-universe publications. The only 3rd party, independent sourced content is is this:

Trenton Webb of Arcane magazine described the Blood War: "A war has raged across the planes since the dawn of time. Fought with unparalleled savagery between two of the most powerful races of the multiverse, the baatezu and tanar'ri, it has cost billions of lives. And although this Blood War is fought on the Lower Planes between the forces of evil, the fate of all the planes hangs on its outcome."[6]

This is just a description of the war, but does not offer any encyclopedically relevant analysis of its significance in popular culture. There's nothing to merge here, hence delete, and optionally redirect name only. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:19, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per BOZ and
WP:ATD-M. I'll note that K.e.coffman's opinion is not policy based, in that primary sources are perfectly acceptable to verify uncontroversial content; they just don't count towards notability. Jclemens (talk) 05:29, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Merge per Boz, though I do think that this page title should be a redirect to Feud#Blood feud. A brief description in one review is not really enough to justify keeping this, and I do not see Lowellian's view as grounded in our guidelines. I do not see being long-lasting as an alternative to being covered in third-party source for the purposes of establishing notability. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:39, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the input Coolabahapple. I noticed this before I PRoD'ed it. But I couldnt be sure what a "junction of street" means. In some territories, it means a location ("T point" of other street) from where a route emerges. But the Khordad article says: "15th of Khordad Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 1. It is located in Panzdah-e Khordad Square, junction of Khayam Street and Panzdah-e-Khordad Street. It is between Khayam Metro Station and Imam Khomeini Metro Station." So I cant be sure what exactly it means. Maybe it means on the "T" point of Khayam Street and Panzdah-e-Khordad Street. —usernamekiran(talk) 11:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for inconvenience. In the light of recent findings, the notability of the subject becomes borderline. This shouldnt be considered as withdrawal of the nomination. Establishing the notability is still under process. Till then, I request the voting process to be put on hold. Thanks, and sorry again. —usernamekiran(talk) 18:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Grand Bazaar, Tehran. But please do not delete it. I am very disappointed that Wikipedia deletes articles on major roads and it doesn't even merge or redirect, as it just happened at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thadagam road. I admit I am not able to find a lot of information about this street, but I did find that it is the entrance to the Grand Bazaar in Tehran.^[1] There may also be other references in Google Scholar which I cannot access. Rather than deleting it, a merge to the Grand Bazaar directs the user to meaningful content.--DreamLinker (talk) 18:14, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The street is a different topic than the Grand Bazaar. A merge is nonsensical. --Oakshade (talk) 05:14, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot find enough sources to justify a keep. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thadagam road had more sources and was a much longer and more important road. Yet it got deleted (not even merged or redirected). If I use that standard, this should be deleted too. So I am suggesting a merge. The Grand Bazaar is relevant because this street is one of the borders which forms the bazaar. There are a couple of sources in Google Scholar which mention this road and the bazaar together, but I am not able to open the sources as it needs subscriptions.--DreamLinker (talk) 13:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment TTTZZZCCC (talk) 11:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC) Hello, I'm the author of this article and will be contesting the nomination for deletion. I have a COI in the matter as I'm working for the company which is the subject of the article - I've made the appropriate declarations in my author and talk pages. I will be submitting a fuller argument to accept this article below, but until then, just to give you a heads up, I'll be arguing that the sources cited in the page satisfies the criteria for notability, and I'll present a more detailed explanation for why Quiqup isn't a 'run-of-the-mill delivery company'. In particular, I will be saying that the on-demand services offered by the company is unique in the market for e-commerce fulfilment, with special reference to its role in facilitating SMEs to compete in e-commerce against players like Amazon. If you should have any questions please do let me know! Cheers.[reply]

In May 2016, Quiqup entered into a partnership with Whole Foods Market.[13] In July 2016, the company entered into a partnership with Burger King.[14][15] In June 2017, the company entered into a partnership with Tesco to launch a 1 hour grocery delivery service. [16][17][18] Etc.

Comment TTTZZZCCC (talk) 14:12, 4 July 2017 (UTC) Thanks for the comments. I've deleted the sections highlighted by K.e.coffman as promotionalism - such as the partnership with Whole Foods Market, Burger King and Tesco. However, it seems to me (and obviously I might be biased), that with Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods Market it represents a clear merger of delivery operations and physical brick and mortar retail (in this case, groceries). Cases like Quiqup's partnership with Tesco, then, could be notable because they present an example of how 3rd party logistics providers can offer a response to large ecommerce players who are competing with brick and mortars lacking delivery capabilities. i.e. notability as justified by operation in an emerging market trend to merge on-demand with retail verticals beyond made foods.[reply]

Nevertheless, I have removed the offending sections and will be conducting a more thorough review of the cited sources, such that they may be readjusted to better fit
HighKing
's concerns with promotional/marketing material. Having said that, I very much appreciate the work by the various commentators in pointing out the flaws in the article - hopefully we can find together a workable solution that is appropriate to Wikipedia's standards of publication. Cheers.

Comment-@
HighKing and K.e.coffman: Ping for their takes on the new arguments put forward.Winged Blades^Godric 06:22, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]

Comment There are two steps involved in examining sources against the criteria for establishing notability. The first step is to check that the individual sources meet the criteria for
WP:ORGIND
in order for the topic to meet notability criteria.

Looking at the two sources mentioned by
WP:ORGIND
since the material is provided/written by the company. Neither article is "intellectually independent" - neither shows any evidence of independent fact checking. While the sources are "reliable", they are simply (and reliably) regurgitating quotations and material provided to them.

My !vote remains unchanged. There does not appear to be any sources that meet the criteria for establishing notability.
-- HighKing⁺⁺ 11:58, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
It is quite widespread practice these days, even in reliable sources, for business coverage to shade into advertorial. The MT article is more prone to this than the DT one, which only has two quotes from the company and one from a funder. These two articles are really not that bad. I started an article today on OBike, which has only been around since January, and I think all of the sources include quotes from the company. There is a danger here of setting an unreasonably high bar for newer companies! Edwardx (talk) 14:47, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, it is not an "unreasonably" high bar to set. Notability is not so difficult to define, at least for companies. I believe the policies and guidelines have done a good job. If a company generates their own "buzz" that eventually transmutes into "intellectually independent" references being generated, they've met the bar. But until that transmutation happens and sources merely regurgitate quotes and announcements from the company, they do not meet our criteria for notability as there is no independent analysis or thoughts expressed.
-- HighKing⁺⁺ 16:09, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]

There are some quotes but that is not all there is. It's clear that people consider it notable enough to write about and ask people from the company for more information. I would expect a publisher with reputation as a reliable source to apply at least the same standards to this type of coverage of companies as to the rest of its coverage (unlike press releases where it should be clear that a company is announcing something rather than the publisher reporting on it). Peter James (talk) 21:49, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"There are some quotes but that is not all there is" - obviously other editors can read the articles and make up their own minds, but for me, if you take away the company-generated facts/data/quotes, there's nothing of substance left in the references.
-- HighKing⁺⁺ 16:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
So an obscure company announces something and you think the newspaper writes about it indiscriminately without assessing whether it's important enough to be in the newspaper or checking the facts, only interested in sales of newspapers? Such a newspaper clearly wouldn't be a reliable source, and probably wouldn't even be successful - why would anyone advertise when they can have it published as news, for free?

Keep. Not every source that includes quotes from the subject's people is "churnalism". Independence is only missing when the whole article is based on words by the subject.

Forbes – Written by a Forbes contributor, but the author was previously a staff writer for Forbes for seven years, per their bio on the Forbes website. This serves to support the author's journalistic professionalism.

Delete as I examined the sources above and the first 5 were all clear promotionalism; the books I'll specify were all unsatisfactory of
WP:GNG's stated criteria therefore unusable for keeping here. As for ORGIND again, the books are in fact professionally authored books about the business field side of it, not the objective side of it, therefore cannot be labeled as indiscriminate coverage at all> With or without our differences of how many there are, they won't eliminate the fact they're press releases-influenced for consumer attention. In fact, the current article has a minor few sentences about trivial "controversies" they had, by far outweighed by the centered promotionalism. Like a mannequin, such advertising cannot be sugarcoated with extra press releases, instead the naked truth is removing it as we always have by policies. As an unsurprising note, the current sources first given here in the article are in fact consisting of the same "Company announces", "Company spokesman says", "Company plans", "According to the company", "Company's website", etc. All speaks for itself. To extend this deeper, I'll boldly highlight the relevant concerns: Thanks to services like Crowdspring.com, clients large and small can post a design task and set a fee and sit back while far-flung competitors fight for the prize...."Minimum reward: Crowdspring allows: $200....$359 for a "standard" account. (That amount includes the $200 minimum fee for the winning designer; obviously you can pay more if you want to offer a higher fee. If you pay $1,349, you can register as a "Pro" and supposedly get access to "top creatives," plus more control over who can see your project's entries, all instantly violating WP:Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, a relevant policy since it can singlehandedly support deletion, regardless of possible notability. Second one is The service is focused at first on graphic design: Logos, and artwork for use in marketing literature and ad campaigns. A company looking for work posts the assignment to CrowdSpring, and then receives finished work from contractors participating in the service. and equally indiscriminate by our policies. This alone in fact airtight-seals its intentions as promotion, given they're simply consumer-targeted guides, not genuine uninvolved coverage and no one but the company would know a consumer guide for company products best than themselves.

N.b. The sources I provided are not particularly promotional in nature, and none are comprised entirely of interviews. It is common for mass media and news sources to publish quotes from people about their companies; it would be unobjective and biased for them to omit such content.

Removed Prod. Non notable future film. No reliable independent sources in article (just two "official" YouTube promos) and no independent sources found that discuss this film. It appears that this film is not planned to be released until 2018, and the director is known for producing short films, so this is likely another such, rather than a feature film. Per

since it has not been released it should only have an article if it had begun shooting (I can't find any evidence of this) and the production itself is notable.

WP:GNG pass in lieu. Of the few genuinely reliable sources here, even one of them is covering him more for being married to Payette at the time than for anything that would have gotten him into an encyclopedia otherwise — leaving just two pieces of media coverage about him qua him, which is not enough to hand "notable per GNG just because media coverage exists" to a person who doesn't meet any SNG. (I've been the subject of two pieces of media coverage in my lifetime, so if that were all it took I'd be notable too. But I'm not, because the context of what journalists wrote about me for isn't something that would merit permanent consecration into an international encyclopedia.)

Tropical forest

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

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

It seems like tropical forest itself is not defined as a biome, a more accurate term would be tropical rainforest. The article, created in 2004, still is of low quality and seems to be a bad duplicate of tropical rainforest. NikolaiHo^☎️ 04:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Colour me confused. Point by point:

Tropical forest is as well defined as forest, rainforest, savanna or any other vegetation type. Read those articles, or any other on a vegetation type and you will see that the problem isn't lack of definition. It's that there are literally hundreds of definitions. The same is true of tropical forest, which is what the references in this article note. The various schemes should indeed be teased out more, but this is a srart class article, so thats a feature, not reason for deletion.

The article wasn't created in 2004. It was effectively created today. It has been a redirect for the past 12 years, not an article. That redirect, to tropical rainforedt, is obviously wrong, since nearly of tropical forests are not rainforests. It might just as well redirect to savanna or mangrove.

it is not in any possible sense a duplicate of tropical rainforest. The article notes that explicitely. Tropical rainforests are only 60% of tropical forests. You might just as well say that tropical rainforest is just a duplicate of forest.

it seems very odd to nominate New article for deletion within an hour of creation, bSed on content and history but apparently not have read it or looked at the history. Mark Marathon (talk) 04:31, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting a topic such as this, which has had a huge impact on the lives of so many Muslims, to the point that many dissented from the traditional mainstream sects and joined Quranist or the Submitter denomination, is grossly unfair. The 19 code is a significant finding, and its topic is so vast with the number of finding linked to this code being discovered all the time. I’d like to question the true motive behind anyone who would wish to delete such a topic altogether.

news articles written by staff writers that have been published in independent, reliable sources.

North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
Of course I can't produce press releases, as these are sent to the media organs. The way churnalism works is that the PR department of an entity (private or corporate) sends publicity material to chosen media to promote its interests. The journalists of that media then adapt the material (to a greater or lesser extent, sometimes not at all) to house style and publish it as their own work. The journalists get a publication to earn their bread, the corporations get the publicity they desire. This is often blatant in the case of trade journals, but exists in more exalted ones too. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Barnett for a recent extreme case. Wikipedia should not allow itself to be conned by corporate PR flack. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:31, 15 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Delete because there is big part of promotional advertising here that we can't ignore or simply blindly defend, see my examples for instance: the first Adweek is actually a compilation of advertising in general so this can't satisfy WP:CORP which says except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as: any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly, advertising and marketing materials by, about, or on behalf of the organization, other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people and this perfectly applies to the sources. The second source here in the AfD is actually a personal blog by someone's personal views, so it can't be used. The Forbes is a person's own blog so it cannot be used for significant coverage or notability, and the link actually says in its opening: Seven strategies a content marketing beginner should learn....these tips and assessing them so it WP:Not guide perfectly applies. The last one, Business Insider, is simply a general report about firing a paid sponsor, and this wouldn't be "significant coverage". A quick summary of the current article's sources showed the same: Adweek, Salt Lake Tribune, Inc. and then actually a local TV station (#source 11, WFTS) which since GNG is linked above, would not be "significant coverage" either and GNG itself clearly notes "this is not a guarantee of an article").

Comment - Just commenting, since I created the article (I disclosed that I was paid to do so on the talk page). There are some good references: Bloomberg, Washington Post, NPR, Men's Health, CNBC. The page averages over 400 views/day for the past 3 months so it seems there is general interest. Plus its creators were on Shark Tank.--Bernie44 (talk) 01:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not to get off track, but how would those refs not satisfy requirements of depth and independence? The Post ref, for instance, is a profile on the company. It quotes the founder of the company, and also quotes two gastroenterologists. The CNBC article goes through the company history and how it became successful. It doesn't seem to be a regurgitation of a press release or anything like that.--Bernie44 (talk) 14:37, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even if a subject's daughter's request is within

(which can be argued it is not), the nominator has withdrawn the nomination. While withdrawing an AFD is not a reason for speedy keeping when there are delete !votes before withdrawing, it does negate those !votes that were based on BLPREQUESTDELETE.
As for the rest, once a number of sources were provided and offline sources made available, there were no further delete !votes based on lack of sources and the previous delete !votes did not discuss the new sources. The only later delete !vote mentions that somehow notability requires impact on the Western world but that's not a reason for deletion.

Although Wikipedia discourages people from writing about themselves, removal of unsourced or poorly sourced material is acceptable.

~~Weak~~ Delete. The references are an absolute mess. Upon checking them, some have definitely been misleadingly cited or exaggerated, there are many deadlinks, and we're depending for notability on a clutch of articles from the late 90s/early 00s that nobody seems to be able to verify. There is no verifiable source that attests to notability. These problems have persisted without improvement since they were raised AfD six years ago, and there seems no prospect of that situation improving in the future. At best, this article should be reduced back down to a stub, and built up again with better referencing.Landscape repton (talk) 10:01, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The 'major' works attributed to him are self-publications. This includes 'The Wise Way' and 'Zarb-e-Sukhan', neither of which have ISBN numbers or appear in any library catalogue. This obviously fails

I can see that this discussion is not converging on a consensus to delete, at least in terms of the raw vote, and I suspect this is due to the circumstances of how it was listed and by whom. But I'd encourage some attention to the page itself, which seems to be a botched attempt at self-promotion. If we are going to keep it, we need to be able to establish notability in reliable sources independent of the subject. That doesn't exist in the current set of references, so we need to find it if it exists elsewhere and add it in. Landscape repton (talk) 07:47, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually we have seen that reference before. It updated on 9 April 2017. The source only mention him rather discusses him. We use sources that discusses the subject.

i just feel so strange that what a lack of knowledge to search properly, it is pure blindness with the bad faith, though I not nominated the article for deletion, but u both, what doing with references, removing them, removing text and claiming not notable i cannot believe wikipedia can bear such kinds of contributors, who have no any clue of the reality. i feel so shame, really i am sorry, i asked help in real life about daily dharti, that is newspaper or just website as u both claim as unreliable, i cannot even think that u both what did with the article, i do not think, i can learn here any good thing except dishonesty, personal jealousy and etc. when i search daily dharti on google, it was on the top,

Thank you for uploading these clipping scans, these could be useful in improving the referencing situation in the article. Would it perhaps be possible to upload some higher quality scans? Some of the sources, such as The International News article for example, aren't quite readable.

I'd invite you to take part in the discussions about the various sources on the talk page of the article. One of the concerns with some sources has been to establish whether they are still
accessible
or not. That doesn't mean they have to be available online, but the consensus is that they have to be currently accessible to the public somewhere, whether online or in an offline collection somewhere, such as a library collection.

Other issues have been with the reliability of some of the sources (e.g. one of the references that was removed was a WordPress blog, for example), or with the claims in the Wikipedia article not aligning with what was written in the reference. But again, I'd invite you to join in with talk page discussions on specific cases. Landscape repton (talk) 13:19, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, you are giving link of Google in the Netherlands but your IP shows you are from Iran. Why are you gaming the system per
WP:FILIBUSTER. Saying strong keep or keep using different IPs doesn't make any difference as Wikipedia doesn't works on majority or number of heads but sensible arguments. Comments like these are likely to be discarded. Greenbörg (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Comment – The links provided by the above anon user show that the cited offline sources of this BLP not only exist but also discuss the subject in detail.

I also looked at the revision history of this BLP. It's clear that most of its online sources are archived at
archive.is & Internet Archive
. I am adding some of those archived sources here:
Bilingual literary read. Daily Times.

Daily Jang. 15 May 2012.

Daily Jang. 24 November 2012.

A splendid poetry collection. Daily Times.

Geo Urdu. 2 January 2014.

Urdu, surviving against odds. Daily Rising Kashmir

P.S. As one can see in the BLP's revision history, User:Landscape repton – who registered here a few days ago – has cleaned it up, which includes addition of 20 plus tags by them. And its lots of sources & content has been deleted. So, I guess one will have to look at older revisions like this one for analyzing the sources. BTW, the user has also done similar sort of edits at the subject's book article – see here. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You'll also have noted I've provided detailed summaries for every edit I made, and provided a very thorough commentary on the talk page, sub-divided by category. I have, in cooperation with other editors, stripped out several references--a WordPress blog, an irrelevant article about robots, an entry from a website that states it maintains no editorial controls. I've also added details to others and moved them to more relevant parts of the article. Please judge me by that record rather than the age of my account (which is several weeks, and obviously not created in conjunction with this specific article).

I'm sure this is unintentional, but your tone comes off as distinctly accusatory and unfriendly. If you think some of the changes are not warranted or could be executed different, why not enter into conversation about them first? Landscape repton (talk) 20:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not trying to accuse you of anything. Just read my comment again. I just stated the plain facts. BTW, instead of "several weeks", your account was 10-day-old when I made the comment. I commented about your account's age as I thought your excessive tagging of the article was due to your inexperience. But now I can see that the real reason was online inaccessibility of sources. Now that most of the sources are in front of you, hopefully you will reinstate/add the verifiable content.

I can also see what confused you in believing that the source you mentioned was about robots. If you will look at the Ref 5 in this revision, it reads "....p. 23. Retrieved 9 May 1998." But when you will click on its URL, it will take you to the magazine's homepage, which is showing its latest edition of July 2017. You can see date at the top-right corner of the magazine's cover & also on the left edge of the webpage. Anyway, the scan provided by the anon user clearly shows its page no. & date at the bottom left corner, both of which matches with the article's citation. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:49, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: --- I do not let it happens again and again that three editors, Landscape repton, Greenbörg and Saqib's unconstructive edits on the notable subject that twice has been reached a consensus as keep by experienced editors, as,

I ping them, to review it again, to reach the third consensus. I stress that if Wikipedian let such editors, to stay unconstructive editing, we should, surely, expect the 4th nomination. Behind all this revenge full behavior, is the editor Saqib, I have checked his edits and conflict between Justice007, even he disclose his identity, to damage him, strange, Saqib is still targeting him. This is all a drama on the Wikipedia ground, neutral and honest admins must take action to, investigate on the large level of this conspiracy. The three suspected editors remain to persist on their unconstructive and illegitimate edits. It should be stopped, for the best of the Wikipedia project — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.99.58.87 (talk) 10:53, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – the subject meets
WP:GNG
. I've kept Daily Dharti sources out of my analysis as per comments by user Landscape repton. Here's my analysis of the selected sources:

Martial laws badly affected literary activities. The News International.

This is among the most comprehensive English sources dedicated to him. With some efforts, one can read whole of it. The article comprehensively describes the subject's life & career.

A splendid poetry collection. Daily Times.

This source, which is authored by Amjad Parvez, sums up their poetry career along with discussing their book (Zarb-e-Sukhan) comprehensively.

Urdu, surviving against odds. Daily Rising Kashmir:

This source discusses the subject comprehensive along with discussing one of their books. BTW, the newspaper is in editorial oversight.

There are scanned copies of two articles of Haagsche Courant. One of them – Gevlucht – is non-trivial coverage, while the other one – Even vragen aan: Ehsan Sehgal, dichter – is their interview, which surely contributes toward their notability.

I can't read Urdu. So, I will only discuss their reliability & comprehensiveness, but Urdu-speaking participants are invited to translate & summarize their content at the article's talk page:

The multiple sources – [57], [58], [59] (dead link) – published by the Daily Jang definitely show notability.

This comprehensive article of the reputed Nawa-i-Waqt
surely adds to notability.

Then there is full page dedicated to them in the Nawa-i-Waqt
's publishing group.

There is also a full page dedicated to them by the Hurriyet, but it is not present online. Official website of Sind govt. has listed it as a newspaper – see here. And user-generated sources also mention its details – see here. So, we can consider it reliable unless someone can prove otherwise.

The anon user also gave two sources of The Times of Karachi – [60] & [61] – which are reviews of the subject's two seemingly non-notable books. There's no online info regarding this 1990s newspaper. And it should not to be confused with the namesake newspaper, which started in 2015. Same is the situation with the Nation Today, which discusses the subject & review one of their books under the title of Ehsan Sehgal: Poet of Pathos. So, I am not counting them, although not having online presence, esp. in case of older newspapers, shouldn't automatically make them unreliable.

All in all there are at least 10 reliable sources which discuss them in detail. And they are spread over three languages & a time span of few decades. That's more than sufficient to meet
WP:GNG
, no matter how much we stretch the definition of it. In fact, to see such coverage of the subcontinent's local language poet – who was active mainly till 1990s – is actually surprising.

Now coming to their two books. Zarb-e-Sukhan is poetry collection of their four-decade long career & it consists 1000 plus pages. There are around half a dozen reviews of it in the top national newspapers & it seems to meet notability. But I guess it can be merged to the BLP via talk page discussion, provided the BLP is kept. Their another book is already at the AFD & consensus seems to be going toward merge/redirect, although it is revivewed in quality sources like this one. So, we can dedicate a section of this BLP to the details/reviews of these two books. One of them seems notable & other one has got a few quality reviews. Although none of them might sufficiently meet notability criteria for a stand-alone article, they definitely contribute toward the subject's overall notability.

Finally, not notwithstanding the unnecessary tags of the present version, the article has already been
TNTed
by the user Landscape repton. And it can be expanded from here on, as we have now access to nearly all of the sources.

P.S. Before the anon user provided copies of the sources – which I supplemented by providing archived links – the participants had not access to most of the sources. One of the editors even tagged the BLP as a
hoax. So, their !votes should be evaluated in that context. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:49, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
To be clear, I have not '
TNTed' the page, which would have entailed deleting everything from it and starting over. I do think, given how much of the page is a creation of the subject and those associated with him and given how pervasive issues of promotional language and mis-used sources have been in it, that that would have been a perfectly valid way to approach the article in this case. Landscape repton (talk) 06:44, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
]

You did TNTed it, although by a different approach. You removed a large amount of content along with moving the remaining content around & fixing its tone, leaving behind a stub, which just contains the bare facts about the subject. Even if you had started from scratch, you would've mentioned those facts, although in much more detail as now you have online access to them. Keeping the fact in mind that it was already edited by others to remove COI, it does count as TNT. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:01, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the case. It's more than a stub atm. If I'd TNT'd it, there's no way I'd have taken responsibility for putting in the properly dodgy sources, like the Daily Dharti links. And I wouldn't have included the articles that seem to be completely inaccessible and unverifiable, like the old News International article. And we don't have a source that supports the bibliography of the article. There's still a lot in there that needs to be properly sourced or cut. Landscape repton (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then please read the provided sources & improve the remaining dodgy bits. BTW, I've gone through ref 2 of the present version. And will make some of the relevant changes shortly. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:30, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm going to vote to delete from a different perspective. Most of his writings and most of his audience appear to be Urdu. There's an article in the Urdu Wikipedia [[62]], so I'm comfortable that after deleting this, his information is still available for his audience. I don't want to sound Xenophobic, but nothing that I've read above suggests that his impact has crossed over to the Western world. I saw some wiki-clones with info about him trying to found a group called the Muslim United Nations, but Google doesn't come up with anything that suggests the group got any traction. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 07:12, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – That's the oddest !vote I have ever seen. Most of the artists, businessmen, politicians, etc. of Asia & Africa have no impact on the Western world. Same is true about a large number of personalities from Europe. So, I guess we should delete those & similar type of articles, which might be million plus in number. You do realise that it is a global Wikipedia instead of being Western world Wikipedia. BTW, if WP is to be believed, Urdu is the fourth largest spoken language in the world. - NitinMlk (talk) 17:47, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I actually tried to read the newspaper clippings and sources, and from the limited info that I could see, I don't see notability. That being said, since he has an article on the Urdu Wikipedia, I felt that was enough, since if he has any cultural impact, that's where it would be felt. I didn't mean to come across as Xenophobic, but without any tangible sources, I'm leaving it up to the Urdo readers to decide if he should be there. I've voted keep and even personally worked to save articles that have no impact on the western world, but nonetheless had no problem proving notability somewhere. Here's an Indian album I saved that was declined five times and ultimately moved into namespace by SwisterTwister [63] and here's I wasn't able to save, as the only keep vote.Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 Winter Session of Indian Parliament
One can actually see a large amount of legible info from reliable sources. And obviously there are "tangible" sources here. In fact, per
WP:OFFLINE, they didn't have to produce those sources which weren't online, but they even did that. BTW, thanks for responding. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Strong delete. Both users above is authors of article and active promoters of band, possibly members. So I suggest simply to ignore their "votes". The only "argument" they mentioned is "hyping on last.fm", based on link. Hypescore of a song was 276 on last.fm which equals to around 290 listeners a week.
