- Keep the article - We are talking about a player who has already a professional contract with FC Barcelona, and he is also the first player born in the 20th century to play for FC Barcelona's professional teams. In this regard, it has to be noticed that FC Barcelona B is a fully professional league team, even though they are at the moment part of a mid-professional league as Segunda Division B. Considering the international scope, it is obvious this player has reached such a relevance as being the second best scorer in history in the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, ahead of other professional players as Paco Alcacer, or the one that has been capped most times in history, ahead of players as Toni Kroos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by U2U3 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- While I don't disagree with you, WP:NFOOTBALL with an appearance on a fully-professional team (or a senior international cap), or demonstrate that there is significant media coverage of him (well, and a third - a believable quote from his manager saying he's starting next week - but that's pretty rare). Given he doesn't meet the first, your only hope is the second. What he achieved is nothing - however it could have garnered enough media coverage. What you must do is simply present that coverage. In whatever language it is in. But not just a paragraph about a signing, or a great goal. But in-depth feature articles about the player. And not on the club's website - but from real media outlets.

- What we have about the person is that she disappeared and that her disappearance is observed years later. The coverage of the event is local. The book hits are passing mentions among other examples of the lack of media interest in cases like this. It may not be fair, but RS support for a biography or a criminal event article appears to be insufficient. • Gene93k (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Chinese literature. Opinions are divided between merge and delete. This redirect is a compromise in that it allows editors to figure out in the course of individual edits and discussions which, if any, content is worth merging. Sandstein 11:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Ancient Chinese literature
This is poorly written and a hodgepodge of extant information from other articles. It reads more like a middle school report than an encyclopedia article. A "B" one at that. It's not even internally-consistent as it refers to Classic period as well as the 14th century, neither of which are at all "ancient" - a phrase which probably is cribbed from the derogatory Orientalist phrase "Ancient Chinese Secret/Proverb".

- Comment - As the nominator, it's an embarrassment for Wikipedia that this article is still up. For those advocating merge please suggest an article that this content would go on where this information isn't already, albeit only written much more cogently and well-sourced. It's entirely superfluous and to be frank, quite a stain given its seeming prominence and grandiose scope. Just delete the whole thing and leave a redirect as suggested above.

The result was redirect to Yoga. Almost nobody wants to keep this, but some want to merge a mention of this practice to Yoga or to yet-to-be-created articles. I don't think we have consensus for this, though, given that there seem to be no clear ideas about where in the expansive Yoga article his topic could be mentioned. A redirect is a compromise that allows editors to figure this out later, and to merge this material if we ever do get an article about odd Yoga variants. Sandstein 12:13, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect A trip to news.google.com for "goat yoga" (in quotation marks) gives me 30,500 WP:ARTN (the rule that says that an article's current contents are not the be-all and end-all of notability for the subject). But either way, I'd like to exercise the WP:N escape clause that says, "Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article" and say that even though there are thousands of reliable sources, and even though there are apparently hundreds of businesses or events doing this, let's merge it with related topics into a larger article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2017 (UTC)]
- Comments. (1) Re. Google hits count, I never quote the number at the top as it is calculated using OR and not AND. On "goat yoga", Google News (US edition) returns precisely 675 hits (68 pages of 10 results per page), out of which only the first ~190 relate to goat yoga. (2) All or almost all of them are from September 2016 until now, i.e. from the last 8 months. I submit that, be it for a new spiritual direction or for a new practice of physical exercise, it take more than 8 months from the moment they are invented to the time they are eligible for inclusion in an encyclopaedia. (3) I can't see how "yoga with a dog", "yoga with a cat" should be incorporated into yoga any more than "yoga at home", "yoga in a park", "yoga in a pub", "yoga on a plane", etc. — kashmiri TALK 20:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

List of Blue's Clues home video releases

This article is a vandal magnet. It is an implausibly large and unverified list of alleged home video releases for the TV show
I think it is time to admit that there is no hope for this ever to be anything other than a vandals' playground and give up on it. As I see it, the alternative is copying everything on this subject out of IMDB, painstakingly checking that it is all genuine there and then spending the rest ofour short lives defending it from those who (for reasons that make no sense to me) want to mess it up. That seems like a lot of unnecessary work when we could just link to IMDB's own lists (or another good source) and have done with it. DanielRigal (talk) 18:09, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep: It's suitable for a stand alone list or within the main article. If vandalism is really that much of an issue, you should request page protection. SL93 (talk) 02:51, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- What would we be protecting? Why fossilise an article that could be anywhere between 10% and 90% fake in its protected state? If there was ever a good, verifiable version of this article worthy of protection which we could revert to then I would agree with you 100% but there isn't. That is why I suggest we just give up on this. Articles like this are a discredit to Wikipedia. We know that they are bad but clearly we don't have the time or the will to research such minor subjects in the detail required to make them good so they stay, forever unverified, as the sole preserve of the hoaxers and vandals. This reinforces the impression that we are soft on hoaxes, inaccuracies and low level disruption and so the hoaxers will be encouraged and will persist. It is not like I have not tried to encourage good editors to work on this. I have added it to projects and put suggestions on the talk page. It hasn't done any good. It is nothing but a rod for our own backs. Its existence has a small knock on effect on the whole project. Small, but detrimental. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

- The lack of interest in !voting here is understandable. I think this illustrates why articles such as this are problematic. It is a sub-article of a subject that is itself pretty obscure. It will attract fan writing, and also vandalism by those who think it is funny to get one over on the fans and on Wikipedia, but very little attention from experienced editors who can ensure that the content is correct and validly referenced. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:21, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

- Please read reliable source coverage in media or not. Any other building which doesn't have reliable source coverage in media should also be deleted, while any other building which does have reliable source coverage in media is not directly equivalent to this one just because of a height comparison alone — it is entirely possible for a shorter building to be more notable than a taller one, if the shorter building has the depth of reliable source coverage required and the taller one doesn't, because our inclusion criteria for buildings are based on the sourceability and not the height per se.

What is missing from the article, what nominator seems unaware of, and what those weighing in with "delete" opinions seem unaware of, is that the infamous "Kettling" of about four hundred G20 protesters and innocent bystanders occurred in front of this building, fwiw.

- WRT WP:TNT... Isn't it an essay? Note: from your wording a reader could believe you are stating it is a policy or guideline -- a wikidocument to be relied on. Further, isn't it talking about deletion as a last resort? Isn't deletion of articles on topics that are notable, reserved for articles where people have made sincere attempts to reach a compromise, and, in spite of genuine good faith efforts, have failed to do so?

- I did not go to the talk page before submitting this WP:AfD, because I thought it would be trivial to get agreement that this building is not notable and that there was no need to discuss at the talk page first but quickly get this resolved. Now that someone is editing the article, it is necessary to make comments about those edits on the talk page of the article not just here, since this is obviously not going to be resolved any time soon.

- Delete. Clarifying my vote to "delete" in view of the special-pleading sockpuppet nonsense. He's probably not notable anyway, and if there's going to be nonsense, it's certainly not worth it. The rest of earlier analysis, below, stands. Herostratus (talk) 20:03, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- He looks to be an inspiring story, but... well let's see. Article says "He received the FSB and Worldpay young entrepreneur of the year award", but the source says GoCode Academy won it. Which GoCode Academy is his baby, plus how can an academy win "entrepreneur of the year", but that's what it says. Anyway its a local source without in-depth coverage of him, just PR-style speechifying.
- Second source is an in-depth article, although it's in a fairly obscure venue, Tamil Culture website. But it is written by Rajeswaran. So it's not useful for establishing notabily, and is a sketchy source.
- The third source is The Guardian. Notable! But it's not in-depth. It says "Robert Rajeswaran, chief executive of coding bootcamp GoCode, was forced to leave Jaffna, Sri Lanka with his family when he was a child. It took around two years of his family living as refugees before they were granted asylum in the UK. He says the whole experience of being a refugee gave him the hunger to make his business work. “There was standoffish behaviour towards refugees and immigrants in parts of society [...] This gave me a drive to succeed and prove that a refugee too can make it in this country through sheer hard work and perseverance.”". It's not in-depth but it's more than just a passing mention. It's something to build on.
- But that's it for the article's sources. So to Google. Short mention at something called Entrepreneurial Spark. One-sentence quote in the local paper. Doesn't seem to be much else.
- "Rajeswaran is a guest speaker at schools, colleges and universities across the UK" seems to have no source. The Guardian bit laid out above is describes with "He was featured on The Guardian..." which is maybe a bit of an overstatement, "featured". So there's some self-promotion going on here. And, it's a WP:BLPso... we want to be cautious. A fair amount of the material is not sourced. It's all positive or neutral, so its not an immediate pressing problem though.
- So... does the Guardian few sentences, plus all the other stuff added together, add to meeting WP:GNG? Mnmnh... maybe not. He's on the bubble but sliding off IMO maybe. Herostratus (talk) 07:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)]

This means that players who have not made senior international appearances have to have played for a club in one of these competitions or played in a national cup competition in a game between clubs from fully professional leagues.

- Comment - this was, in my estimation, the largest custom record label of its time, and perhaps of any time. As a collector, I very frequently run across the products, seems like 80% of all high schools used this company at one time or another between 1960 and 1975 for their band and choir. Not sure if I can make this meet GNG or not, but I'd like to be careful before deleting this one. PS, 18 years isn't shabby bad by record label standards.78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:08, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep – Mindful that the article itself is weak, the label, in a general sense, seems notable, if for no other reason, for the fact that it was used by institutions of higher learning. Among other things, its discography chronicles a boat-load of 20th and 21st century works – many by U.S. composers – mostly performed by a wide array of universities. To that end, the label is a source for educators and researchers – including musicologists. For that crowd, the topic helps bibliographers. The label also chronicles the levels of music education at American institutions. In particular, the entire inventory of recordings represents a "sound history" of the level of performances reached by American intuitions. Incidentally, if you do a search on WorldCat under keywords, "Century" and "Saugus" (screening for "sound recordings"), you might get about 966 hits. In other words, its notability, or the possibility of any perceived notability, might better be ascertained by composers and music oriented academicians. The subject is obviously esoteric. Yet, I am suggesting that criteria for notability is, in this case, nuanced. I posted the article while researching a composer whose works were found on the label. Amplifying a point (see above) made by User:78.26, the lifespan of record labels – particularly those of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s – are akin to dog years. Eighteen years is an eternity for an independent label, particularly one that served a niche, non-profit sector – albeit a large sector that extended from coast to coast. For me, looking at a label can be frustrating when nothing is known, namely, among other things, whether it is dead or alive or custom or commercial. – Eurodog (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - The source, while not all online, seem to help the subject meet at least WP:GNG. Thanks to Eurodog for finding them and improving the article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)]
- Keep - a different sort of record label. There aren't any signed artists, you gave Century a wad of cash, you got a record made. However, the affect on the record industry by Century was significant. It is therefore an encyclopedic topic. Thanks to Eurodog for finding some sources so we can verify the statements in the article. I believe this now meets GNG guidelines. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:50, 3 May 2017 (UTC)]
- Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTHand GNG as only one of the references passes the required criteria. I've examined the references in the context of the requirements set out for acceptable sources that establishes notability and except for one Billboard article the sources provided fall short:
- This obituary of Bud Keysor fails WP:PRIMARYsources and the obituary is about the person Bud Keysor and not the topic of this article (which is mentioned in passing). Finally, the source itself appears to be a regional source and describes itself as a "nonprofit community service organization that operates the Sata Clarita Valley's public television channel)".
- This obituary of Jim Keysor (son of Bud) only mentions the company in passing and is insufficient to assist establishing notability.
- This Billboard article and especially the opening paragraphs appear sufficiently intellectually independent when discussing the industry as a whole and therefore meets the criteria. Although most of the Century Record information comes from a company officer and would therefore fail WP:PRIMARYsource, I believe the opening paragraphs are good.
- This next Billboard article fails the criteria in WP:CORPDEPTHas it appear to be a simple PR announcement of the opening of a new facility.
- The Signal article headlined "Company's woes still plague SCV" is from a regional newspaper called "The Signal" who self-describe as "a community newspaper serving the Santa Clarita Valley" which "covers local news, sports and community activities". In my opinion, this source fails as a reliable source "with a reputation for fact checking". Also, some of the information comes from the unverified and unsubstantiated memories of "Betty", a "former employee" who wished to remain anonymous but is obviously worried about her health.
- This obituary of Bud Keysor fails
- There are two sources that I am unable to find as they do not appear online and perhaps those sources may meet the guidelines - if anyone could be kind enough to post a snippet, it may swing my !vote. Those sources are the "Music Journal Annual Anthology, pg. 171 (1959)" and the article from "Valley News". -- HighKing++ 17:15, 4 May 2017 (UTC)]
- What does that mean? Do "esoteric" subjects need less coverage to meet GNG? The description of what this company did seems rather mundane and not surprisingly unnotable. If someone can propose some article on the record industry where this company can be mentioned, then there could be a minor merge and redirect. MB 05:29, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete: NHOCKEY doesn't need any "interpretation" here -- there is just no part of it under which the subject comes remotely close to passing. As a pro, his career in the Swiss mid-minors is far too low for notice. Far from having played in the A pool at the World Championships, the Phillipine national team is a new startup that joined the IIHF less than a year ago and has never played at any level in the Worlds, never mind the Olympics. As far as the GNG goes, we need far less to consider whether the Philippine Star or the IIHF constitute reliable sources (the former does, at least) than to recognize that those cites don't meet the GNG at all: the Star source does nothing more than mention his name in a list of other names, the second only quotes him, longstanding practice being that a source consisting solely of quotes from a subject does not support the notability of the subject. Neither provides the "significant coverage" in detail that the GNG requires. Ravenswing 22:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
