This is a meta-list article synthesizing other lists, but there's no indication that these lists (film awards for acting) should be combined at all. Unlike, say, EGOT, this meta-list has been given no basis off wikipedia. In fact, the reason it wasn't deleted last time (besides no consensus) was that a source gave it such a basis — but it didn't. This article is asserting that the five most prestigious acting awards are the Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG, and Critics' Choice Awards. The source does not support this assertion. It does mentions seven awards— Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, Guild Awards, the National Board of Review award, Independent Spirit and assorted "Critics Awards". Guild Awards when applied to acting obviously means the SAG, and you can reasonably take out independent spirit by clarifying it's non-independent film. But conveniently ignoring the NBR is unjustified, in fact the source gives far more weight to the NBR than it does to the Critics Choice.

It mentioned the latter as one of several critics' awards— "The key groups in the US include the National Society of Film Critics, made up of 55 writers across the country, the LA Film Critics Association and the New York Film Critics Circle. The London Film Critics' Circle, comprising more than 80 members, issues awards recognizing British and international film talent. In recent years, the Broadcast Film Critics Association has aspired to usurp the status of the Golden Globes, with a televised ceremony of the unashamedly populist Critics' Choice Awards." If you interpret this text literally then the key groups in the US include NSFC, LAFC, and NYFCC. Then it mentions London as a key Critics' group out of the US. But it reserves a different clause for the Critics' Choice—separating it from other critics awards by noting its "unashamed populism" (critics awards are noted for not being populist and for being impartial to commercialism unlike academy-style awards) and saying it wants to usurp the golden globes. A more lenient interpretation is that all the groups are key Critics' groups— but therefore by the source there's no reason to just include the Critics' Choice and not all the groups it mentioned.

Now I didn't want to delete this article, so I changed it to conform to the source it used— I included the NBR and all the Critics' Awards it mentioned, and noted that those six awards were the more prestigious awards for contemporary English non-independent cinema, so as to not generalize unfairly. This change (and here's the most recent version of the page in the same vein by @Heisenberg0893:) was admittedly awkward but at least it was based on substance.

My edits got reverted. The reasons for reverting my edit was basically that, if I may quote comments on the talk page, it "overcomplicated [the page] and made [the page] too exclusive" and that "NBR isn't a significant award". That's all good and well, but we can't have a preconceived list of performances in our minds, pick criteria around our mind-list, and then say lists that happen to omit performances on our mind-list are "too exclusive". I understand the article's purpose- to note the most acclaimed performances in contemporary cinema with objective criteria, but the criteria isn't objective if it's selected subjectively. This feels like a cruft list, not to mention SYNTH. Time to ping those involved in the original deletion discussion. @Feedback: @Jaxsonjo: @SummerPhD: @Postdlf: @Edison:. I'll put in a request for comment on this on related wikiprojects as @Lapadite77: recommended. --Monochrome_Monitor 08:56, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete As the nominator demonstrates, the grouping (and in particular, the selection of the Critics' Choice award over all other critics' awards) is subjective and arbitrary. Here's a source that lists the "three most prestigious critics groups" in this context and doesn't mention the Critics' Choice award at all.
    I did in fact find some sources that mention specific actors/actresses as having won these five specific awards – quite possibly inspired by the existence of this article; namely this source and this source. But I'm not very convinced by these sources, and any treatment of these actors as a group is minimal. (By contrast, this source clearly treats actors who have won an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for the same performance as a group.)
    List of directors who won the Academy, BAFTA, DGA, Golden Globe, and Critic's Choice Award for a single film, the twin of this article, should also be deleted. Sideways713 (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's a "cousin" of this page about television List of actors who won the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, SAG, and TCA Award for a single performance in television. Anyway I also thought that New York Film Critics Circle and LA and National Society were more prestigious critics' awards, as your source says. --Monochrome_Monitor 23:22, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I get what this article is trying to do, but it would better just to have an article "list of film performances considered the best", which unlike this article would apply to each mention contemporaneously without being biased by selecting contemporary film awards.--Monochrome_Monitor 23:27, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's another thing I'm concerned about, I don't want wikipedia to create "facts on the ground". None of your sources mentioning those awards grouped together precede the article. --Monochrome_Monitor 23:31, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, if this gets deleted (as Sideways pointed out) then so should List of directors who won the Academy, BAFTA, DGA, Golden Globe, and Critic's Choice Award for a single film and possibly this List of actors who won the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, SAG, and TCA Award for a single performance in television (though the latter might need a new thread, but it's similarly arbitrary). --Monochrome_Monitor 16:27, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recently created article about a non-notable author whose only claim to fame seems to be a self-published book. Briefly mentioned by Iranian TV when he died, but still a long way from established notability. A quick Internet search did not yield any further indicators of notability. Jeppiz (talk) 02:00, 7 November 2015 (UTC) I am also nominating the self-published book, added yesterday by the same user, failing notability :[reply]

  • Needs investigation - the article about the book claims that it is very well known in the Arab-speaking world, with over a million sales. I do not speak Arabic to search for suitable references, but it seems that we should look into the question of notability beyond just English-language references. --Gronk Oz (talk) 15:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point, though I think the claimed sales are mainly for Persian, not the Arab-speaking world, if I understand the source right. It sounds surprising, and if it is true, it sounds even more surprising the English translation would be self-published; publishing houses would be likely to jump at the opportunity to give out a translation of a book that has sold that much. So of course it's possible, but something seems strange. Needless to say, we're not in a hurry, and if somebody who speaks Persian finds reliable sources of notability, it would of course change the situation. In English, though, there seems to be next to nothing. Jeppiz (talk) 16:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Declined speedy on the grounds that he is the founder of a notable organisation; however I doubt if he is independently notable. I would favour a redierect to Fully Informed Jury Association TheLongTone (talk) 14:33, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, I've done a bit of research on Doig. I would easily say that he is notable on various things. He was the co-founder and national coordinator for the Fully Informed Jury Association. In politics, he is a former candidate for the Montana Libertarian Party. He has published many articles that are cross referenced in the medical field. Also anyone studying judicial law is going to come across him and his work. It should also be noted that he is quoted on many occasions. Collectively on at least 5 different things, four of them discrete from each other, I believe he is notable. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 04:34, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • While being a founder of an organization is a claim of notability that might get a person into Wikipedia if it can be well-sourced, it's not a claim of notability that gets a person any automatic inclusion rights just because he exists — and being a non-winning candidate for office counts for nothing under WP:NPOL. And the sourcing here is far too reliant on primary source verification of his existence rather than reliably sourced documentation of his notability — far too many of the "sources" are to the web pages of directly affiliated organizations, and the relatively few references that are appropriately reliable virtually all just passingly namecheck him rather than being about him per se. So he doesn't get to claim WP:GNG either. Redirect to Fully Informed Jury Association per nominator. Bearcat (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, and I'll repeat what I said on the 7th of November. I've done a bit of research on Doig. I would easily say that he is notable on various things. He was the co-founder and national coordinator for the Fully Informed Jury Association. In politics, he is a former candidate for the Montana Libertarian Party. He has published many articles that are cross referenced in the medical field. Also anyone studying judicial law is going to come across him and his work. It should also be noted that he is quoted on many occasions. Collectively on at least 5 different things, four of them discrete from each other, I believe he is notable. Take them into account.

You don't get to vote multiple times in an AFD discussion; you're allowed to comment as many times as you like, but you only get to preface one comment with either a bolded "keep" or a bolded "delete" vote and the rest may only be comments. That part of this comment, accordingly, has been struck out. At any rate, "quoted on many occasions" is not a thing that gets a person into Wikipedia, and being a non-winning candidate for political office is not a thing that gets a person into Wikipedia — and while founding a notable organization can be a thing that gets a person into Wikipedia, that's still dependent on his being the subject of reliable source coverage and does not constitute an automatic "keep because he exists" freebie if the resulting article has to to rely on primary sources and non-substantive namechecks of his mere existence for sourcing. He has to be the subject of substantive coverage of him in reliable sources to get a standalone BLP on here, but the sourcing present in this article doesn't even approach the suburbs of the type of sourcing it takes to get an article. If you want this article to be kept, you'll get a lot farther by actually investing time in fixing the sourcing than you will by simply repasting the same comment in this discussion over and over again. Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks but I wasn't trying to vote again. Rather I thought that this being the last relist, I wasn't sure if It would be viewed individually so I put it in again. When I mentioned "quoted on many occasions", I meant that in different areas, medical, legal etc, I was trying to give an idea of the different fields he is referred to. There are a few! There are a good deal of secondary and third party sources for Doig. Yes there are more out there. But thanks for the pointer. As for repasting the same comment over and over again. I've only done it once and that's all I ever intended to do as this I the last relist of the discussion. Thanks. I will be expanding the article with what I come across in due course and always aim to improve. Karl Twist (talk) 15:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable book. Seven pages of Google hits found lots of publisher and Goodreads hits, but nothing reliable or substantial. The best hits are a sentence in USA Today, a mention in EW, and some mention in an interview with Cosmopolitan.

  • Keep. This is the first book in a new series for middle-grade readers, a spin-off of the author's wildly popular young adult series. This does not need to be reviewed like a piece of literature. It is reviewed in Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and it and the new series were discussed in the New York Times ArtBeat. StarryGrandma (talk) 06:20, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, another book which easily meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG. In addition to the reviews mentioned by StarryGrandma above I also found these (note to Drmies, I googled 'From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess meg cabot reviews' and got these in the 1st 4 pages (40 ghits): [9] - Commonsense media - "Cabot's tale of a mixed-race princess and bullying classmates adds punch and relevancy to the Princess Diaries series.", [10] - Natrona County Public Library - "What I love about the books is that Grandmere isn’t Julie Andrews in the books. She is not afraid to speak her mind.", [11] - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - extract of review. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:14, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • StarryGrandma, that books for middle schoolers should have different, lower standards for notability is an unacceptable proposition; even if it didn't run counter to common sense, it is in no way sanctioned by Wikipedia:Notability (books). Saying that "the book [was] discussed in the New York Times ArtBeat" is a half-truth at best: all it had to say on the topic was "...From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess, a new middle grade series, in which young readers will be shown Mia’s fictional country, Genovia, through the illustrated diary of Olivia Grace, Mia’s long lost, 12-year old, biracial half sister". That's it. If you have any reviews that actually discuss the book, not just mention it (and then go on to talk about the more exciting other book, speculating on whether some princess will lose her cherry in the ballroom--this is what the reviewers were interested in), I'd love to see them.

      Coolabahapple, nothing is easily met here. A one-paragraph review in Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, that's something, sure, but that's it. I don't see why a listing on Common Sense Media would make a book notable: their job is precisely to rate all books, so there's no selection made--and making selections is the essence of matter. (Noteworthy books get real reviews.) Likewise, a review by a librarian for a local library, that's not a review in a reliable source that adds notability to a book.

      No, with the review from The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books we have one review, albeit a very short one, which counts towards notability. All other sources that have been brought up here aren't reviews, just mentions, or they're not real reviews in reliable sources. Drmies (talk) 14:51, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, here we go again.... WP:NBOOK - 1. "1.The book has been the subject[1] of two or more non-trivial[2] published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.[3] This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists,[4] and reviews." and the first 3 footnotes (as we 'keepers' have not mentioned any bestseller lists) - "1. The "subject" of a work means non-trivial treatment and excludes mere mention of the book, its author or of its publication, price listings and other nonsubstantive detail treatment. 2. "Non-trivial" excludes personal websites, blogs, bulletin boards, Usenet posts, wikis and other media that are not themselves reliable. An analysis of the manner of treatment is crucial as well; Slashdot.org for example is reliable, but postings to that site by members of the public on a subject do not share the site's imprimatur. Be careful to check that the author, publisher, agent, vendor. etc. of a particular book are in no way interested in any third party source. 3. Independent does not mean independent of the publishing industry, but only refers to those actually involved with the particular book." Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and the Bulletin of CCB are all independent of the work and have provided non-trivial ie. not mere mentions reliable reviews of the book. Which makes hmmmm, 5 reviews of the book. As for the put down generalization about the review by Commonsense Media - "I don't see why a listing on Common Sense Media would make a book notable: their job is precisely to rate all books, so there's no selection made" - going to its website [12] I see they have about 4,000 reviews, hardly every children's book (not even the number published every year?). As for the librarian's review, rather then another generalization, can someone please specify why it is not reliable (possibly lack of editorial oversight?). thanks Coolabahapple (talk) 16:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, as for the statement that "All other sources (ie. Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist) that have been brought up here aren't reviews, just mentions, or they're not real reviews in reliable sources.", can someone please provide links to discussions that back this statement up? I have gone through the archived talkpage discussions of WP:NBOOKS and have been unable to find this, and have looked through previous afds and it appears that the general consensus (with some dissension:)) is that they are reliable and can be used to attain notability. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:18, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    You're misreading my comment. I'm talking about the sources that have been shown to exist. No bibliographical information is given for Kirkus etc. You don't have to cite NBOOK for me, by the way (I've been here long enough), but thanks for the sigh. Now, if you were to produce these reviews and stick them in the article and use them to verify actual information about the book, that would be helpful. Drmies (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, I didn't say children's books didn't need to be notable. I was talking about how and where they are reviewed, not whether or not there are sources. This is popular culture, along the lines of Romance novels and Pokemon, not great literature. The book will not win a Newbery Medal. It has been reviewed by the organizations that influence bookstore buyers and children's librarians. I added the New York Times source because I was surprised that the Times was even paying attention. StarryGrandma (talk) 16:58, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've cleaned up the article and moved all of the reviews down to a reception section. There should be enough sourcing to show notability as a whole, although I will say that the reviews are mostly short trade-style reviews. Now as far as the notability argument goes for children's series, both parties have valid points. Children's books as a whole tend to get ignored by many mainstream RS other than trade reviews. I could probably venture some guesses as to why this is, but that'd be OR and a bit besides the point - the point is that coverage for these books are usually extremely light. It's fairly common for a series to be present in hundreds of libraries, be sold in multiple stores nationwide, and even have fan followings, yet still fail notability guidelines on Wikipedia. Ideally we would be able to take all of this into consideration when it comes to series/books that have a smaller amount of coverage (ie, a brief mention here and there and/or only 1-2 trade reviews), but unfortunately there have been enough people that have abused the system to where the guidelines have become necessarily strict. We do need some sort of guideline that would help keep the ones that do appear to be notable (200+ library holdings, sold in bookstores across the nation, have 1-2 reviews or other type of coverage in RS, published or reprinted through a mainstream publisher over a long period of time) and delete the ones that aren't (self-published, 0-5 library holdings, predominantly or solely sold online). Finding a way that would succinctly sum this up without leaving anything to be easily abused is pretty difficult and it's hard to get things passed at NBOOK because of this. However this is kind of a moot point since we have seven reviews (one of which is via Kirkus, which is of dubious reliability nowadays) and while they're brief, there's no consensus at this point in time that short reviews are unusable.

The problems in the article noted by the nominator seem to have been introduced during some surprisingly incompetent cleanup by a long-standing editor who, however, is not currently editing Wikipedia.

I've not been able to establish with any secondary sources that the American University of Asia currently exists. JMWt (talk) 09:11, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Yes, I've worked a bit on this article in the past and I can see why someone might have tagged it G11. However, among his awards, he's a member of the Order of Canada. It's the highest Canadian honour for civilian achievements (you wouldn't known it from its article, which is saddled with the usual monarchal crap from a certain editor) and his Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from France is a pretty big one, too. Last but not least, the speedy nominator's "searches found nothing better" is baffling. A Gnews search for "Phil Comeau" yields good results: check it out. You've got to be able to read French, to be sure. He's a major Acadian filmmaker, whatever the problems with the article's tone. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:09, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 1) The article is not unsourced, there are 3 links at the bottom. 2) Not done anything notable: he is correctly stated to be the author of the (controversial) Priest's Declaration (against homosexual partnerships) of 2005, as well as a leading traditionalist and chair of a Swedish national church organization. 3) He received coverage in Swedish national newspapers such as Svenska Dagbladet as well as church sources. 4) Notability depends on external sources, not on how well or badly an article is documented with such sources. In this case Nom failed even to notice the sources listed in the article, let alone look for others, most of which are in Swedish. The general point is that it is essential before nominating to see whether the topic can be sourced; it is not enough to assume that a poorly-sourced article is not notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:38, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I nominated the article, there were zero sources. What you refer to as "three sources" are actually external links, mostly associated with the subject itself. I am well aware that sourcing may be available on non-English speaking newspapers but I found nothing in a "quick" (emphasis on "quick") Google search. If the Priest's Declaration was covered widely in Swedish newspapers and commented on by politicians by all means provide such evidence and add it to the article. Kingsindian  12:07, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have left a comment at Wikiproject Sweden regarding this. Kingsindian  12:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your admirably civil reply. I have added 11 representative sources (there are more) to the article, but I must emphasize that this is not a necessary part of defending the article, nor of AfD policy in general. Your reply, I am sorry to say, betrays a misunderstanding of the AfD process. External links are indeed sources, and they did to a degree support the claims made in the article; I can confirm that they made finding other sources easy and quick. On foreign sources, English Wikipedia is worldwide and there is no prejudice in favour of sources written in English, though there are some here. Finally, I repeat (in the unlikely event that any other editors who think that "sourced" means "with little numbers already in the article" are reading this) that notability depends on the existence of sources, not whether editors have bothered to add them to an article, or indeed to place them inline as is convenient for everybody. Due diligence is required before going to AfD; this may mean consulting with Swedish speakers to find out whether a subject is notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, but with rewrite. The article has no citations and is written like an advertisment, although I think that the topic is notable and has been featured in secondary sources (although to an extent that we would ahve to crop some of the information).

You'd rather keep this mess than WP:TNT? So who's ever going to fix it - it's been years and got worse. Although WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, I've never seen this many WP:SPA editors shoot themselves in the foot. In principle this should be a notable organisation, I agree, but I didn't even get a straight answer on the talk to what sort and this EXT link promo SPA farm is just a mess. Would you stub it? If kept, can we agree to be more strict about COI editors disclosing and edit requesting on the talk. There's 20-30 or more SPAs on this! Widefox; talk 09:20, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, at minimum I would expect to keep sufficient on the organisation to meet an encyclopaedia user's "who?" query (e.g. after reading that ICO document) and enough to meet a basic "what?" query, which for me would be the OWASP Top Ten paragraph, plus probably those on the ASVS and the Testing Guide. Detail on tools such as ZAP and Webgoat are less important and can be found by the interested user on the OWASP site itself. So losing the Chapters section and pruning the Projects section would create a sufficiently improved article in my view. AllyD (talk) 09:31, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If we rewrite the advertisement-like sentences (specifically removing the mention of the non-profit organization in the lede, or perhaps moving it to the end of the article), this could be a useful article.

Fails WP:GNG. Practically unsourced. Argument for keeping on the talk page was based on the two sources currently cited as "References" in the article. The first is a book I have that, as far as I can tell, doesn't talk about the subject at all. The page number given is the references list page that lists the one citation (of the article on Wikipedia). The other citation curiously cites page 241, but according to GBooks it's only 190 pages long. A search through GBooks reveals it in a list and that's all.

  • Keep Thank you Rhododendrites for your interest in the article and the notice on my talk page. I think you might have overlooked p53 in Darius' book where content from Encyc is quoted having to do with mailing lists and control systems. At any rate, Wikipedia is not paper and I would really appreciate it if you would let this article stand. It's really not hurting anything by being here, and future scholars might appreciate Wikipedia having an article on the topic so that they can quickly be brought up to speed. Duck of Luke (talk) 18:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Duck of Luke: Wikipedia is not paper, but has clear rules for article inclusion (WP:N being the most obvious and most relevant to this discussion). "Keep" at an Afd in which contested notability is the nomination reason is typically only considered valid if accompanied by arguments showing how it is notable, and that requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject". That means coverage of the subject itself rather than citing it or briefly mentioning it. None of this is to say it's not a high-quality site or even that it's not important, but that it's not "notable". If we don't have standards for inclusion, Wikipedia turns into the rest of the web -- a directory, a place for promotion, an indiscriminate collection of information, and all of the other things it is explicitly not. I did search for sources before nominating, but if you can find some that I couldn't, please do include them here. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I respect your desire to improve Wikipedia but I think the slippery slope argument here is a bit exaggerated. Wikipedia carried the Encyc article for a long time and there was no loss of respectability, no mass confusion, no rush of spammers, no taxing of server resources, no problem for anybody.
The article is well-justified considering that the references are not mere newspaper clippings, but important books written by scholars specializing in online knowledge. Wikipedia is more complete and comprehensive with this article in it, and loses literally nothing by keeping it here. Duck of Luke (talk) 19:56, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Are you proposing that for this one topic there is overwhelming justification for applying different treatment from the one to which all other articles are subjected? Or that we change the notability policy and its implementation overall? If the former, well, that won't fly.

  • Sigh... So, I suppose, working for an organization that engages in activities on Wikipedia means that I would use my volunteer account to delete articles about all other online encyclopedias? Because they're in "competition" with Wikipedia or something? And of all the wikis, encyclopedias, and websites with similar aims Encyc is the one I've decided poses the biggest threat? ......
    Also, not only have I read Common Knowledge, but I've cited it, assigned it, and in fact got it out to check the citation for this article -- a "reference" which anyone who has a copy or takes the time to check Google Books can see barely even qualifies as a brief mention.
    Regarding single-purpose accounts, see WP:SPA. Everyone is entitled to participate, yes, and I didn't mean to offend with the tag. It's more or less standard procedure for these discussions. The idea is that when people come to Wikipedia just to participate in a particular process and achieve a particular result, their opinion is weighed accordingly -- as someone who is here for certain ends rather than to improve Wikipedia to be as good as it can be according to the community's policies and guidelines. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources. There's some mind-numbingly boring drama spread out over a few blogs and such, and it got a trivial mention in some long list of online encyclopedias in a book, but that seems to be the extent of it.

  • Keep - seems to be quite well remembered, considering in addition to the marching band he gets an annual parade (in Glasgow no less). As usual features in multiple books on the history of the IRA. I don't think the right approach to take (especially when the subject is people killed in The Troubles) is to decide whether people are "entitled to an article."

The fact that Irish republican fifth columnists in Glasgow (who, ironically, are among the most staunchly opposed to Scottish nationalism and the SNP Party) choose to glorify him, mostly, I suspect, to irritate the authorities and pro-unionists in the West of Scotland, particularly Lanarkshire, does not make him remotely notable as notability is defined for Wikipedia editing purposes. And re your other point; yes, it is entirely appropriate "to decide whether people are "entitled to an article", as determining eligibility for an article is why AFD exists in the first place. Also, given that some 3600 people were killed in the last installment of The Troubles, we are not creating 3,600 articles, are we? That would be "selective condemnation" and Gerry Adams says that's wrong. Quis separabit? 15:30, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Total OR and POV. no scholarly sources give "lists of hanafis". People are not put into lists according to their religion the last time I checked. Yes there can be lists of Hanafi authors or Hanafi clergy, if sources are found for that, but a list of hanafis? no please. We are not in nazi germany. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:13, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Lists on Wikipedia are primarily navigational aids - we do not require that the list itself is notable, though we do require that the subject of the list (Hanafi, in this case) is notable and, for most lists of people, that the people listed are notable and that they verifiably meet the criterion for being on the list - the sourcing for that does not have to be given in the list, provided it is given in the articles on the listed people. I have checked several of the articles, and in each case the article identifies them, giving reliable sources, as a Hanafi lawyer or legal theorist. The list could possibly do with some checking (there are a couple of redlinks and, despite what it says at the top, not all the entries are currently in chronological order), but that is a matter for normal editing, not deletion.

I agree with the nominator that we don't need individual articles on every advertising campaign related to this product, but I think there's enough available sourcing that we can include it somewhere. I don't think this is off-topic for the target article, though I guess purists may disagree.

This is an article in its own right with substantial references and if an outgrowth then out of the Matagarup Refugee Camp. It is a significant public value story for the homeless and a campaign that involves multiple parties and has secured commitments. I believe it should have a page of its own so it grows in its own right. This campaign has many involved and should not be deleted. Georgatos is only the person who established the campaign and it should not be limited to him but also involves Kaeshagen, Clarke, the homeless sector and commitments from Councils and others.

  • Keep Came across this from DYK. Great job on the expansion Alansohn. Clearly meets GNG. His sport, speed skating isn't really listed in WP:ATHLETE. "Amateur sports" has no applicable category, "Ice hockey" assumes one is on a team, "figure skating" is a completely different set of skills. Only remotely close parallel would be track and field, though clearly not on ice. However, using that it is a race, he meets multiple criteria #3 (won 3 international competitions), #7 (set five United States records), and #10 (inducted into the National Speed Skating Hall of Fame in 2010). Thus, would seem he also meets reasonable criteria of Athlete. Clear keep. SusunW (talk) 07:19, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be sourced only from publications associated with his position in the Mormon church. Neither a quick Google search nor a quick Google Books search turned up a lick of coverage that wasn't published by the LDS Church, which can't be considered an independent source in the context of an LDS official pbp 14:01, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Hallstrom is part of the Presidency of the Seventy, making him one of the top 22 leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. The sources are not created by him or under his direct supervision. There is enough information to indicate he is notable, especially since there are articles on everyone else who has been a member of the Presidency of the Seventy.198.109.0.16 (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just because there are other articles on other people who have held this office doesn't exclude this article from having proper sourcing. And I don't think you properly understand what's "independent".

    • Keep. As mentioned, Hallstrom holds an important role in the LDS Church. By virtue of his place as a Seventy, he is one who is in a prominent spot on the list of those who might become church president. If all the apostles suddenly died all at once (hasn't happened yet, but that's not saying it couldn't happen), the Presidency of the Seventy would be the next hierarchical body from which the new Church President will be chosen. Hallstrom serves both as a member of the Presidency of the Seventy and a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, who give lifetime service, as they are merely released as general authorities. Just like any other Seventy, he will be granted emeritus status the October following his birthday. I have searched the internet for mentions of members of the Presidency of the Seventy, and a good majority of those I've come in contact with are from non-LDS sources. I won't post links to any of those tonight, but I can assure you, such links do exist. Did anyone in favor of page deletion even bother to check articles mentioning Hallstrom by doing a web search? Those sources are easy to come across. At the end of the day, I think the proposal to delete this article shows a clear anti-LDS bias. There are several articles about the LDS Church here on Wikipedia, and most of those use LDS-related sources for verification. I think a better approach to this issue is to post on the Latter Day Saint movement page here and invite comments. Since I am coming late to this discussion, I want to get verification that what I'm telling you is true. I've been swamped with a move, a job, and health issues, which have forced me to cut down on Wikipedia time. If not for all that, I could have the sources for you by tomorrow. With everything on my plate the way it is, it may take several days or a week or slightly more to again find these sources. I would ask for your patience with me as I work to prove my point. I would also request that any further discussion, unless it's a new argument for or against deleting this page, be suspended until I can provide those sources I've promised. Can we agree to that, please? --Jgstokes (talk) 11:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Jgstokes: As noted in the nomination, the first page of Google search contains only LDS-related sources. And, as noted in previous nominations, it's not an "anti-LDS bias", it's a desire for independent sources; somebody whose notability comes from a particular organization needs to have at least some sources that aren't affiliated in any manner with that organization. Also, I don't believe being a Seventy is enough for something to automatically be kept even if sources can't be found. If you believe this, you should suggest that WP:N for people be included. pbp 15:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, pending secondary sources. If, as stated, he is a major personality in the LDS, there shouldn't be much difficulty in finding good independent secondary sources. JMWt (talk) 14:34, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be sourced only from publications associated with her position in the Mormon church. Neither a quick Google search nor a quick Google Books search turned up a lick of coverage that wasn't published by the LDS Church, which can't be considered an independent source in the context of an LDS official pbp 14:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep PBP's campaign to remove most articles on important leaders of the LDS Church needs to be stopped. He has consistently expanded what he considers "LDS" sources to class everything as such. The sources here give indepth coverage of the subject, and are more independent than many sources used to create articles on politicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:39, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, @Johnpacklambert:, what needs to be stopped is you creating piles and piles and piles of badly sourced articles. If you want this articles consistently kept, you've got to source them when you create them! It ain't rocket science! pbp 05:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note to closing admin: User:Johnpacklambert characterization of this as a "campaign to remove most articles on important leaders of the LDS Church" is inaccurate. I only nominate articles for deletion that have no non-LDS sources. I do this regardless of the article's creator; though JPL is among the ones who have created the most articles solely sourced from LDS sources. pbp

  • Redirect to Young Women (organization). Being first consouler in this organization is not a sufficient claim of notability for a standalone article, and there is an abvious lack of significant coverage in secondary independent sources. Redirecting the article to the organization a subject belongs is the standard outcome for individuals who don't otherwise meet specific SNGs or the GNG. Notability could be eventually revised if sources will emerge in the future, but actually it's just too soon. Cavarrone 12:46, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local politician. An upazila is an administrative region three levels below national. Being a sub-regional political party president does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. The first two cites mention the subject only tangentially. The third cite is a dead link, but I doubt very much that it contained significant coverage of the subject, as extensive searches for this Abdus Sobhan Chowdhury have found nothing but passing mentions: [24], [25], [26], [27] (mostly of the "was in attendance" variety) and one brief quote.

  • @WikiWatcher987: We were all newbies once, so try not to take a little criticism too personally, even if it may seem pointy to you . . . . Most of us wiki veterans are used to talking to each other in wiki jargon short-hand with links to policies and guidelines, and, yes, that can be arcane and a little obnoxious at times. Even though the article subject does not satisfy the specific criteria for politicians, he does satisfy the criteria under the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Many subject areas have specific notability guidelines (SNGs), but all of them are back-stopped by GNG. For future reference, you may want to familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion; there's a lot of good advice and conventional wisdom to be found there.

"Post Medieval" can be used in many contexts, not just archaeology. The archaeological usage is already discussed at Post-medieval archaeology. In Western history, the Renaissance comes to mind as "post-medieval". As a WP:DICDEF of an adjective, I don't see this as worth holding on to. BDD (talk) 20:19, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Post-medieval archaeology. The use of the term is primarily archaeological. 60 years ago, no one paid attention to archaeology after Prehistoric and Roman (yes, probably an exaggeration), so the Society for Medieval Archaeology was formed. The question of what to do about later periods led to the foundation of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. Terminology on periods has followed. Historians normally talk about the "early modern period". I accordingly regard BDD as wrong. Alternatively, the article should be transwikified to the dictionary.

      The article notes:

      Junior Simpson is one of Britain's most successful stand-ups. He is not at Edinburgh this year; he hasn't been since 1998. "Black performers," he says, "look at Edinburgh and at the people who go there, and we feel in the back of our minds that we won't be able to find an audience."

      That is partly because Edinburgh has a tiny black population. "When I was there in 1998," says Simpson, "the black population had increased by 50% - because I was there." But even "at regular comedy nights in London, Manchester, Birmingham or wherever, it's still unusual to see a black performer on the bill."

    2. Daswani, Mansha (1999-01-08). "A trip to the loo launches comic career". South China Morning Post. Archived from the original on 2015-11-28. Retrieved 2015-11-28.

      The article discusses his beginning as a comedian:

      In his previous calling as a salesman, stand-up comic Junior Simpson would have never believed that a routine trip to the toilet would launch his career in comedy.

      "I went along to a wedding with a girlfriend; she knew the bride and groom, but I didn't. The master of ceremonies got up and said: 'Does anyone else want to say anything on behalf of the bride and groom?' I had got up to go to the toilet, the guy assumed I wanted to say something, and I couldn't really say 'I don't know these people I have to go to the toilet'.

      "I made some stuff up, talked about the day, and the whole place was laughing," said Simpson from London earlier this week.

      The article covers his career:

      His television debut was on the BBC's The Real McCoy in 1994, before going on to Sunday Selection, a variety show in London's Hackney Empire theatre, BBC's The Stand Up Show and Channel 5's Comedy Store. This year he will perform for the third time at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a three-week celebration of theatre, comedy, dance and music.

      In addition, the "over 21, under 99"-year-old comic hosts a game show, In The Dark, on Channel 5. The programme has three couples performing a variety of everyday tasks in total darkness. Special cameras allow the studio audience to witness the contestants doing things such as putting make-up on their partner, swapping clothes or bandaging their partner's head.

    3. Hale, Natalie (2007-12-13). "Festive cheer". Bristol Post. Archived from the original on 2015-11-28. Retrieved 2015-11-28.

      The article notes:

      Junior honed his material and performance skills on the British black comedy circuit. Soon word started to spread about this bright, young comedian, dubbed "the new Lenny Henry", and within a few years he had become a mainstream success.

      Junior's style is hard to categorise. This, he says, is deliberate. He doesn't want to be stereotyped or confined to a niche market, and it's his desire and ability to metamorphosise that makes him a hit with such a wide range of audiences.

      Junior's ease at adapting his material means he is also a favourite with producers booking guests for TV shows, from Blankety Blank to Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

      The talented all-rounder has also done some acting work. His TV credits include Holby City and Casualty, while his film appearances include High Heels And Low Lifes, and the hit Brit flick Love Actually, playing the world's worst wedding DJ.

      From wedding speeches to Love Actually, Junior Simpson talks to Natalie Hale about his comedy career Since appearing on the comedy scene, Luton's lapsed choirboy Junior Simpson has quickly established himself as a true "tour de force" live performer.

      ...

      Junior's highest profile role was as the world's worst wedding DJ in British blockbuster Love Actually. But despite the attention he received from appearing in the award-winning, worldwide hit, it's stand-up that still gives the comedian the biggest buzz of all.

      JUNIOR Simpson says it is difficult to make a comedian laugh.

      "The series The Office always makes me howl with laughter, but otherwise it's not that easy to make me laugh," the English funnyman says.

      Junior says his material is more global comedy and is not specific to a certain area.

      The article notes:

      Junior Simpson got into comedy by accident. The Luton-born comic was walking out of a wedding reception to use the loo, when the MC thought he wanted to make a speech and invited him on to the stage.

      "The only person I knew there was my girlfriend," said the Hackney comedian. "I was just going to say a few things, like best wishes for the future, but then I started talking about relationships and my parents. I went into this stand-up routine. And people were laughing."

      The happy accident has seen the 41-year-old delivering his humourous observations on life on TV and in clubs for the last 11 years.

      The article notes:

      Simpson's irresistible energy and evangelical delivery can engage the most jaded of rooms - which is even more of an achievement when you consider the sheer paucity of his material.

      His topics seem stuck in a timewarp, covering such hoary chestnuts as the deep-voiced guy who does cinema ad voiceovers, and he does so with little insight or originality.

      Though his infectious stage manner carries him a long way, it can't overcome the dreary lack of invention that lies where the soul of act should be.

      There is the very occasional funny line, but it all seems like woefully inadequate papering over the gaping holes in his creativity.

      Junior looks for humour in everyday life and shares stories of his travels.

      The dad of one, who lives in south Yorkshire, has had many highs and lows in his performing career.

      A particular highlight was performing to British troops in Iraq alongside Jim Jeffries.

      His lowest point was a show at the Edinburgh Festival, which he completed but was heckled so badly that he left without picking up his coat or the money he was owed.

      The article notes:

      With his infectious energy and huge stage presence, it is easy to see why Junior is a circuit favourite.

      He has a boundless joy and exuberance that has audiences hooked with hilarity.

      A true observational comic, Junior finds his humour in the everyday and humdrum with anecdotes of his world travels as a comedian adding a personal originality to his set.

      Junior is a regular headliner at clubs all over the UK and is also in great demand in South Africa and Australia.

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