Rough Cuts Film Festival

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

Non-notable high school film festival. NN on its face, and also lacks requisite substantial multiple independent RS coverage. Epeefleche (talk) 23:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no way a small high school film festival like this can meet WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 01:27, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not only are there no sources that could be used to show notability, but there's unlikely to be any. From what little there is, it appears that this film festival has become defunct and will not be held again in the foreseeable future. Even if they do eventually hold another festival sometime in the unknown future, that doesn't give it notability in the here and now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

2010 Air Service Berlin Douglas C-47 crash

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

Non notable incident. Doesn't meet WP:AIRCRASH since the plane wasn't written off. Even if it was, the most this merits is a mention in the airport article. WP:NOTNEWS William 23:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: although the aircraft was not written off, the article suggests that had the aircraft not been of such historical significance it would likely not have been repaired. The age and historical significance of the aircraft involve make this a notable event. Besides, readers are reminded that WP:AIRCRASH is a piece of advice, not a formal policy or guideline. --RFBailey (talk) 07:00, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per the rationale I gave at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Archive 1#Articles on recent crashes when contesting the PROD. This is not a General Aviation aircraft. Sightseeing flights are a commercial operation, and the aircraft was a constructive total loss. We are still waiting for the BFU to release their final report into the accident. Mjroots (talk) 08:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm neutral on whether or not the crash article should be kept, but Air Service Berlin should be written up as an article, not redirecting to the crash... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've G6'd the redirect per WP:REDLINK. Mjroots (talk) 13:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: WP:AIRCRASH is not a guideline, just a controversial opinion that doesn't reflect a consensus; and simply referring to WP:NOTNEWS is no argument for deletion. There has been a lot of follow-up press coverage even a long time after the event, which makes it clearly notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angbor (talk • contribs) 01:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This seems to me a notable incident considering the historical significance of the aircraft and location. I feel the encyclopedia is better for having it included. Rex Racer-X (talk) 04:13, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Islamonausea

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

neologism that is apparently only used by Jihad Watch. Not supported by other sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note- Its not enough that it has sources, the sources themselves must be reliable third party sources in order to be valid for establishing notability, as covered inWP:Sources. It is very arguable that any of the listed references qualify, especially since the majority of them appear to be non-notable blog posts.Rorshacma (talk) 02:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious delete, notability requires coverage in reliable sources rather than fringe websites, Blogspot blogs and the like. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kanika Tiwari

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

Child actress who has had one low-credited role. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~ Comment: There are independent references which claim that she has about an hour of screen-time in a major Indian movie. She also plays the role of the sister of the main protagonist. I also see other articles like, Armaan Verma, in which the actor has had a very similar role. Yet another example I see is that of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, where the article was created as soon as he performed his debut role in Superbad. The article was nominated for deletion and the consensus was keep. — Pewfly (talk) 22:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:ACTOR is pretty clear on the criteria for inclusion:

significant roles in multiple notable films (emphasis added).

Tiwari has had a single role, and there is scant evidence that it is a significant role. (Screen time alone is not a very good indicator.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 22:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Agreed that in the light of WP:NACTOR the notability of this article remains dubious (that's why the weak keep). But articles have been created about actors as soon as they land a role in a single movie (Georgie Henly, Jordan Nagai for example). I don't see why this article should be an exception. — Pewfly (talk) 22:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because other poor articles are around doesn't mean we should keep this one. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 00:17, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! You cant argue that if they existed, she also should. And also you cant delete them now. They are all notable now. Plus if you wanna argue that, we also have n number of actors who have worked in numerous films but dont have article to their name. I was gonna nominate Armaan Verma after you gave his example. But he was nominated for Best Child Actor and thus became notable enough to stay.-Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Does not appear to meet notability requirements at this time. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:53, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Simply the existence on Wikipedia does not make a person notable enough. We will have to wait for some time for Kanika to become notable enough. She is not yet reliably sourced in foreign media and all articles referenced here have the same content and focus on one single event of her life. Their are far too many small actors who have come and gone in the Hindi Film Industry. lets wait for another five years and then add her entry (after she achieves more). Wikipedia is not a promotion board people, and should not be used (or considered) for the same. Its merely a reflection of noteworthy people and events. Once we have enough content to Justify a full article (in the recommended layout) I will welcome a full article. Wikishagnik (talk) 18:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ESCAPE Student Bus Service

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

This school bus service lacks -- as best I can tell, having checked gnews and gbooks -- sufficient substantial, independent RS coverage, though the university that it serves is itself notable. Zero refs. Tagged for that malady for 3 years. Created by an SPA. Epeefleche (talk) 03:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of companies of Ahmedabad

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

This list should be restricted to notable companies of Ahmedabad, in which case it is redundant to Category:Companies based in Ahmedabad Kilopi (talk) 21:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. I was hoping that if it didn't get deleted, it could at least be brought into compliance with WP:LISTCOMPANY. I was wrong. In the future, I'll leave dealing with lists of companies either to every spammer wanting to include a malformed link to their two-person SEO shop or to editors with enough wikiclout to make their cleanup stick, whichever group cares more about spam on Wikipedia. Kilopi (talk) 19:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The way to deal with such issues is to remove innappropriate entries from the lists, not to throw the baby out with the bathwater by deleting the whole articles. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried that per postdlf's comment, but all the questionable entries are now back. I won't edit war against consensus, so I'll just stay away from them. Kilopi (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, no valid deletion rationale presented. Restricting lists to notable examples is a completely run-of-the-mill editing task, not grounds for deletion (just remove the non-notable ones and you're done) and it's merely a matter of convention that article titles do not have "notable" in them. Redundancy to a category is also not a reason for deletion; see WP:CLN. postdlf (talk) 17:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- On a side note, this list should probably be expanded to a list of companies of Gujarat, given that in total there are only about 50 judging from Category:Companies based in Gujarat and Category:Companies based in Ahmedabad...but that's an issue for normal editing and discussion. postdlf (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine, I read WP:NOTDUP and so fixed it. Kilopi (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep no deletion rational per Postdlf above. OSborn^arf_contribs. 23:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - No valid grounds for deletion have been provided. Also, per WP:NOTDUP, lists and categories being redundant isn't a valid argument for deletion. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keepsake (band)

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

This was declined as a speedy, because of their discography with a pair of independent labels, but I don't think that they are anywhere near the threshold to meet WP:MUSIC. The group's name makes a search somewhat difficult, but adding in the name of their first label and removing the Youtube and Wikipedia mirrors reveals almost nothing in reliable sources. They've never charted, and only one of the members of the band, Dan Mazin, even has an article of his own (and that is probably a speedy deletion candidate itself). The lede of this article focuses on the activities of one of the members, who left the band after the first three albums. There are no references, which in and of itself is not reason to delete, but I've actually expended some time trying to find something to establish their notability. (The group was supposedly formed in the town in which I grew up.) Horologium (talk) 00:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's an Allmusic bio, and a review in CMJ New Music Report. I'd like to see more coverage, but the albums on Eulogy Recordings and another on Fearless Records suggest the band is sufficiently notable.--Michig (talk) 07:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't see enough evidence for the band to meet WP:NMUSIC. Fearless Records seem sort of notable, but only one album was released on that label. Sionk (talk) 00:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It passes WP:NMUSIC#5: "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)".Cavarrone (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The two sources provided above by Michig, plus two reviews by Exclaim!, gives the subject enough coverage to meet WP:GNG and criterion #1 of WP:BAND. Additionally, as Cavarrone noted, the band's releases are sufficient to pass criterion #5 of the latter guideline. Gongshow ^Talk 00:46, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese profanity

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

Burdened with maintenance templates for 5 years. This is nothing but an original research essay, completely devoid of sources. The examples are nothing but an arbitrary, cherry picked list without rhyme or reason. In short, it's just plain unencyclopedic. The last three AFDs were all "no consensus" (2006, 2008, 2010), but the only "keep" arguments I see are WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:ITSUSEFUL. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all Profanity is an important part of culture, and it seems congruent with the five pillars to keep these articles. For any language, there are generally multiple reliable sources discussing profane words. Edison (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Relist individually though I agree with TPH that some of the articles are lacking, I believe that we should discuss them one by one. We're not simply talking about profanity but different cultures as well. It would also make it easier for dedicated regional boards or Wikiprojects to find the articles and judge the fate of its inclusion in the Wiki.--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep So there is periodic AfD for this article, in 06, 08, 10, 12, and again in 14? Each culture has their own collection of profanity which is different from other cultures. There are a lot of reliable sources available. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 08:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep these are all appropriate articles. There is some appropriate overlap between a dictionary and an encyclopedia DGG ( talk ) 06:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looking at her CV I couldn't see any obvious reason that she should pass WP:PROF, but I will reconsider if anyone can prove she is highly cited based on citation indexes, etc. (I don't have access to these myself.) — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:57, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, Charity Hudley has no publications listed in Web of Science and therefore no h-index, but WoS tends to under-represent linguists, especially applied linguists. Google Scholar shows fewer than 10 citations for each of the dozen or so publication it lists, but again some of her publications seem to be missing. Cnilep (talk) 03:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 1 book and only 5 total citations on GS (don't see anything in WoS) – pretty average for an associate professor. She has an enormous CV (25 pages) and the best shot at WP:PROF I see there are only some local awards, e.g. "William and Mary Alumni Association Alumni Fellowship Award". FYI: An article on this same person was speedy-deleted some time ago (although traces seem to have been scrubbed). Uncontroversial delete. Thx, Agricola44 (talk) 16:05, 3 February 2012 (UTC).[reply]
FYI wiff of promotional WP:COI. This article was created by the WP:SPA account Eachsky, who has besides only edited/created the article on Hudley's coauthor of her book, Christine Mallinson, and added these two people to List of linguists. The speedied old version was created by Profch (record scrubbed but trace can be seen here) and there were COI concerns then, as well. The Mallinson article should probably be examined too. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 16:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Put simply, not yet. She probably at the rate she is going will be notable in the future, but does not really meet our usual level at this point. Whether our usual level is the right level for inclusion is another question , but there is a virtue in consistency. DGG ( talk ) 08:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The recommended search string Winkler+Parlor+Pistol turns up lots of false positives (mentions of someone named Winkler in stories involving pistols) as well as websites copying Wikipedia. The "Argonaut Virtual Museum website" article is an anonymous post in what appears to be a Wikipedia-like site (not a bricks and mortar museum) that various persons can edit anonymously. It fails as a reliable source to establish notability. What reliable sources have significant coverage of the "Winkler parlor pistol" in general? Wikipedia does not generally attempt to have individual articles on every single artifact in every museum in the world. Edison (talk) 16:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keap perhaps merge into a new article concerning Gallery guns or Parlor pistols.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 20:39, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As to the merge suggestion, are you referring only to merging that text which is referenced? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:45, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge might be too strong a word as the parent article would need to be created, first. I am actually surprised that neither has an article on here (gallery guns or parlor pistols), but after the article is created, this would certainly be listed as an example of a parlor pistol. Gallery guns are still made, but not for the original purpose. This type of indoor shooting gave rise to the shooting gallery and declined as bb guns and airguns became more popular (you could shoot in the house without the noise smoke and dangers of overpenetration).--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 20:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I was only sensitive to the phrase "merge", because per wp:CHALLENGED I don't think that any unreferenced text should be "merged". I would have not problem with a "redirect", which may be what you are getting at, to a "to-be-created" article along the lines you suggest (which could be created during the pendency of this AfD). I simply don't see sufficient notability for "keeping" this as a stand-alone. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect would work as well. To be honest, I had never heard of this particular model before, but I have heard of the company that made them, Josef Winkler. Which is a little surprising as they are more known for Safari type guns in large bores for shooting elephants when you're close enough to smell the peanuts, over/under shotguns and drillings. I almost wonder if it is the same gunmaker as these types of pistols were disappearing from use when Winkler started making guns, unless it was a "retro" sort of model.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 21:12, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger strikes me as a decidedly poor option. It is all uncited. It is all challenged. Inline citations have not been provided. There is no reason to foist the responsibility on merging article history, where the article history fails to satisfy wp:v. Better certainly to redirect it. And create any appropriate text (meeting wp:v) at the target page. As luck would have it, a redirect target page is being created now.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:30, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In the words of an unnamed user on the Frederic Veseli talk page: "Any player who is/was ever in the senior squad of one of the top clubs in the world is notable. Let alone 2. He's even more notable as he is one of the very few players who have made the switch from City to United, last player who had made the same move I can think of is Ryan Giggs nearly 20 years ago. He also captained Switzerland to victory in the U17 World Cup. If that is not notable enough, I don't know what is." Vlad259 (talk) 13:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Carlos Tevez, Owen Hargreaves, Terry Cooke have done so since. The big difference: those three played a professional for United before moving to City, and furthermore they actually played for City.

"Unnamed user" here. I'd say Keep but it's perfectly fine with me if it's decided in the end to delete this simply because if you guys want to waste time deleting a page only to restore it later - even though utterly pointless - in the end it doesn't change a thing. Btw, should I ask what are those policies on notability for? Why were they written in the first place? Is that because of entries like this which everybody know even if deleted will be restored sooner or later? Or is that to avoid people writing biographical articles about their moms because in their opinions their moms have the largest breast & most beautiful ass in the world? So, ladies & gentlemen, before you all decided you'd rather act like robots I urge you to at least think about this.--61.45.52.140 (talk) 23:33, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to what I wrote earlier, it can be argued that he satisfy the requirement because: "Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition (including the Olympics) are notable as they have achieved the status of participating at the highest level of football". Ok, had he achieved the status of participating at the highest level of football? He surely had, he participated in the U17 World Cup, even captained his team to victory. Yes, it's not the senior World Cup but it's the highest level of football for his age group, kind of like the women World Cup, it's certainly not really the highest level of football (women don't know how to play football, I only watch it because I like to see boobs bounce around), it's the highest level of football for their group. Moreover, it'd be ridiculous to say the U17 World Cup is notable enough to have such a long entry here but the guy who captained the team which won that same tournament is not notable enough to have an entry.--61.45.52.140 (talk) 23:44, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, it has been long established that youth caps do not confer notability – that's why WP:NFOOTBALL states "Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition" (my emphasis). Secondly, it is not the highest level of football for his age group - someone at the age of 16 can still compete in full internationals (the record youngest age for a full international cap is 13). And lastly, it is not ridiculous to suggest that a tournament has an article but its competitors don't - this is standard for hundreds of competitions (e.g. the Isthmian League and the clubs that play in it). Number 5 7 00:00, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the point fully. Firstly, players of any age can compete in a senior competition but senior players cannot play in a U17 tournament, let's think of a more appropriate analogy: the paralympic, it's certainly not the highest level but it's surely the highest level for the group of disabled people, disabled people can still compete in the Olympic and a few have done just that but people who are not disabled cannot compete in the paralympic. Secondly, it is NOT ridiculous to suggest a tournament has an article but its competitors don't, that I DO agree but again you completely missed the point, I never said all players who had played in the U17 World Cup deserve an entry but this is not just any player, this is the guy who captained the team which won the damn tournament, and it IS ridiculous to suggest a tournament is notable enough to have an entry but the captain of the winning team who played in every single match doesn't (if I remember correctly). And lastly, like I wrote earlier and I quote again: "before you all decided you'd rather act like robots I urge you to at least think about this" but you again failed to understand, so to make this concise, as I understand it, that particular line of the policy means a player is notable if he had participated at the highest level of football - represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition is highest level of football (I do see the senior part btw) - the question here is whether U17 World Cup is the highest level of football?--61.45.52.140 (talk) 00:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, the U17 World Cup is not the highest level of football. That would be the World Cup, and for U23 players, the Olympics. The spirit of criterion #1 of WP:NFOOTY is that players who have played in the highest level of football would have received significant media coverage; this is not the case with our player here. – Kosm1 fent 08:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Process improvement

Original research and trivial definition of a non-notable neologism that's too vague to mean ... well ... anything:

In organizational development (OD), process improvement is a series of actions taken by a process owner to identify, analyze and improve existing business processes within an organization to meet new goals and objectives.[citation needed] These actions often follow a specific methodology or strategy to create successful results/
Process improvement is also a method to introduce process changes to improve quality, reduce costs, or accelerate schedules.

This isn't a loss of content, it's consolidation of the same topic.--v/r - T P 01:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Process improvement is not confined to businesses. For example, as a member of USAF, you should be familiar with the Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century program. Warden (talk) 17:41, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This article is 9 years old, created in 2003 when the project had maybe 150,000 articles. People weren't making pages for every Captain & Tennille single or what have you back then. Admittedly, "process improvement" is a very generic term and isn't a flashy one like Taylorism, and the article could use improvement, but the term is notable. Books like this one [4] confirm that. I know this stuff it utterly boring, but its important to business management research.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:27, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and re suggestion of merger to Business process improvement, I am not sure. That article claims it derives from a 1991 book, and I would be surprised if process management research in a broad sense doesn't predate that significantly, things like the Hawthorne effect derive from research done in the 1920s.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sources seem to support a merge. Do you have sources that support a stand alone article?--v/r - T P 16:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I've had the misfortune to do studies in this area so I know this isn't a "non-notable neologism" as the nominator claims. Whether I want to actually do this work is another thing entirely, but there's a reason we don't have a Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizational Behavior around here.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:10, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me some examples? The examples above seem to support that this term is a business term. I'd like to see what you have so I can determine whether or not your sources support this claim for myself.--v/r - T P 18:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see what you are saying. Digging up these old textbooks would be a pain if I still have them, but yes, the term is a business or management term. But the Business process improvement seems to be some specialized version based on a 1991 book. Perhaps a merge and rewrite is what's really needed.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:09, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the other article needs to be renamed too.--v/r - T P 19:11, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall adding the notability and a reliable third party reference tags a year ago, which then got removed as an editor compared its notability to the other clubs including the Oxford University Boat Club, which is in no doubt famous.

Organizations, corporations, people, and the like are deleted every day at wikipedia that could conceivably be redirected.

Redirect per WP:Schools/compromise, "In general, even when a merger is non-optimal, it is preferable to make redirects out of small stubs and not delete the history, rather than to delete the articles.", and WP:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Education, "Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia." - Dravecky (talk) 00:42, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Would prefer to delete in order not to establish a precedent or encourage nn redirects which turn up in a search. Let's maintain usual encyclopedic standards. Student7 (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If somebody is searching for more information about this middle school, isn't it better if they're redirected to the school district's article than if they hit an artificial dead-end? The common outcome for articles like this one is already a redirect so there's no intent to "establish a precedent" merely to follow the consensus. - Dravecky (talk) 06:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear to me what the benefit of a redirect would be here. There are hundreds of thousands of schools. If we were to redirect all of them to pages such as the indicated one, would that be a good thing? I'm not sure, at this point. In this case -- though admittedly things could differ -- all people would see would be ... the name of the school. As well as the names of other schools, but that is not what they are searching for. What is the benefit of leading the reader, rather than to a dead end, to ... the name of the search term he entered? As best I can tell, not much. I'm guessing that is why we do not redirect non-notable corporations, partnerships, organizations, and people as a general rule. If that were in fact the general rule, we would likely term this exercise "Articles for Redirection". Still, I have an open mind on the subject, because while I see the benefit as quite small, it may be that the cost is quite small as well.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I read the text of his comment as being consistent with his intention not being to !vote redirect. I'm not sure how you read it otherwise.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as usual. I think Nwlaw's and Michaelzeng's comments above were redirect, not delete, also. No argument against a redirect given, probably because there isn't really any. Edison's statement that we don't require a redirect is no reason why we shouldn't have one. DGG ( talk ) 04:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Would prefer deletion to redirect because school is not notable and would encourage "redirect" additions for no good reason. IMO. Student7 (talk) 20:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per WP:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Education, "Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia.", and WP:Schools/compromise, "In general, even when a merger is non-optimal, it is preferable to make redirects out of small stubs and not delete the history, rather than to delete the articles." - Dravecky (talk) 06:36, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proofs related to the Digamma function

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

The only two actual proofs are completely routine calculus exercises. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics/Proofs#Proofs_as_topics, "It is widely accepted, however, that if a proof is made a topic of its own dedicated Wikipedia article, the proof must be significant as a proof, not merely 'routine'." These proofs could easily be summarized in the main article with a short remark if necessary. The majority of the article though is a lengthy piece of Haskell code for computing the asymptotic series of $e^{\psi (x)}$ . Not only are we not a code repository, but this seems very likely to be pure original research. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Without context, it isn't clear what these proofs are trying to prove. And long swatches of source code or pseudocode are not English. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: There is no encyclopedic content here. In general, some proofs are appropriate for WP, but WP is not a textbook or collection of monographs so mathematical completeness is not necessary. Proofs that are easily filled in by the reader are not consistent with the aims on an encyclopedia and should be removed. The code computes coefficients of an asymptotic formula in the main article (in Digamma function#Computation & approximation) which is itself unreferenced and apparently OR.--RDBury (talk) 16:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. My general feeling on proofs in Wikipedia is that they can sometimes be valuable as a way of helping to explain a topic even when the proof is not independently notable, but in that case they should be incorporated into the main article on whatever it is they're proving, and that unenlightening and routine proofs should be skipped altogether. But this one doesn't even read like one of the routine proofs that should be skipped, it reads like someone's personal notes, readable only by their author, and much more likely to baffle than to help anyone else who comes across them. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Brendan Voyage

Not notability. Other than its genre as Celtic music, it does not assert any notability. Wholly unreferenced other than by the label's own catalogue. Fails WP:NALBUMS. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 12:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:Notability looks possible. On RS review is noted in the article but listed as a cite/source. North8000 (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep - you're joking here, right? The Brendan Voyage is possibly the most celebrated piece of folk-inspired music to come out of Ireland in half a century. I've added three quotations with citations, including Gramophone magazine and a 30-year retrospective programme on RTE, Ireland's national broadcaster. I don't think sources come more reliable than that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Just the fact that it's still in print 32 years after its release is a pretty strong indicator of notability. The label's website quotes a magazine article that begins, "The critical and popular success of The Brendan Voyage was as ground-breaking as the music itself." and this page has more press quotes from what look like reliable sources. It's true these quotes are coming from the label's website, but unless we're accusing them of simply making them up, and there's no evidence of that whatsoever, then this is both notable and verifiable.

Keep. 28 fatalities is easily enough for notability. If this had happened in the UK or USA we wouldn't even be having this discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 01:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, we would, because a lack of notability is a lack of notability, and number of deaths does not confer notability unless it was the accident with the most deaths in a country's history. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - All I can say is "oh, come off it!" Do you genuinely believe that an article on the crash of an American or British or Australian or Canadian aircraft which cost 28 lives would ever in a million years be deleted? Really? Honestly? No, thought not. This is a perfect example of systemic bias. Tajikistan doesn't have a great internet presence, especially if one only does English language searches, so of course it's not going to be covered so much. Undoubtedly it was in the print media in Tajikistan itself! -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:09, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - You know, it's very nice to know that you know so well what I think. How about assuming a little good faith? And even if it was "in the print media in Tajikistan itself", it would still run up against WP:NOTNEWSPAPER/WP:PERSISTENCE. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:04, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I do assume good faith. I just don't think this has been thought through. And I don't buy for a minute that an article on such a crash in an English-speaking country would ever be deleted in an AfD. There's no need to quote guidelines at me; common sense (i.e. a crash in which that many people died is clearly notable, no matter what country it occurred in) trumps them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Except a crash in which that many people died, unless it is the deadliest crash in that country or one of the dead was a Wiki-notable person (a bluelink), is not notable, no matter what country it occured in. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:06, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        That's called an opinion, and it's one I disagree with. And that, after all, is why we have AfDs. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:57, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - we just managed to delete the article for the helicopter crash in Romania by the Israeli 118 Squadron (see all details at 118 Squadron (Israel)), and I would say in response to Necrothesp that I do not believe that we are doing anything but cluttering Wikipedia by creating articles for (Western or other) peacetime military aircraft crashes that claim only c.30 lives. Note this will be only half-systematic from 2005 or so, when Wikipedia really got going !! *Massive* recentism. There is *much* more context added by working them into operation, unit, campaign, or other articles, and we don't have to go around creating all the required associated links!! Buckshot06 (talk) 09:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And I clearly believe that we are not "cluttering" Wikipedia in any way by creating these articles. I'm afraid I do not see crowing about "managing to delete" a legitimate article as being a positive thing. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Holocaust Obfuscation

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

A one-sentence POV ("the attempt, mainly by political forces in the Baltic states", as if there was agreement that such a phenomenon existed) stub on a new term with only one reference, a video on Facebook (hardly considered an RS) with its creator speaking. This could be mentioned in the biography of the term's creator, it doesn't appear to be notable as a stand-alone article. (was requested speedily deleted by Osarius). Tataral (talk) 09:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Neologism. As the article states, it is a term recently coined by Dovid Katz of what is essentially his particular POV, and all references to the term seem to be related to works authored by Dovid Katz himself. --Nug (talk) 10:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom and Nug. North8000 (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the term is coined by Katz in an article titled "On Three Definitions: Genocide; Holocaust Denial; Holocaust Obfuscation". The phrase is not covered by secondary sources, so it fails notability guideline. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Keep (as explained below) Well, our short article may be a POV of Dovid Katz, but we should note that his definition and further circumstances of the Holocaust reception in the modern Lithuanian society (etc) were noted by many independent and important media:

Guardian
Jerusalem Post
Irish Times
The Economist
European Voice
Haaretz
BBC
A Litmus test case of modernity: examining modern sensibilities and the public domain in the Baltic States at the turn of the century, Peter Lang, 2006, ISBN 9783034303354, pp 271-272

I consider the information very important and relevant for the history of the Holocaust and also for an encyclopedic project. Is there any article covering the Lithuanian investigations of Holocaust survivors? It could be a good target for a possible merger. And if the article doesn't exist, we can create a relevant section in the article Dovid Katz. But I would disagree with the deletion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of these references you linked to are news reports that either report on the opinion of Dovid Katz or are written as opinion pieces authored by Dovid Katz himself, there is no independent secondary source that discusses "Holocaust Obfuscation" as a standalone concept. The book you cite is edited by Peter Lang, but the chapter is written by Dovid Katz.--Nug (talk) 20:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, Peter Lang is the publisher. It's more or less a vanity publisher, though, they publish basically anything with little review, and have a quite dubious reputation. Tataral (talk) 06:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – ...but possibly rename. The main topic here is the Double Genocide debate. (A Google search for "Double Genocide" -Rwanda returns "About 21,400 results.") Any terminology introduced in this debate is out of necessity a neologism, as the debate was only started in 2008 with the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism. At the moment Wikipedia has tons of articles presenting one POV in this debate, the icing on the cake is the template "Prague Process" which in itself is an attempt to win the argument by presenting the debate in a POV context with a POV title.

Although the phrase "Holocaust obfuscation" is mostly used by Dovid Katz the concept exists by other names, including "Double genocide" and "Red equals Brown." Others using these terms include Efraim Zuroff. The most notable "anti-Prague" declaration is the Seventy Years Declaration.

I have told User:Hypatea (the creator of the stub) and User:Spitfire3000 to get their act together and present the anti-Prague POV somewhere. This may not have been the best title to start with, but as it stands, this is what we have. I created a redirect from Holocaust obfuscation (no capitals) a half a year ago. It is high time it redirects to somewhere. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. – The strongest argument for keep under the present title is the huge number of high quality sources repeating or presenting Katz's opinion. The fact that Katz said "obfuscation" is notable in itself! -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely with the last part of your comment. The article could be renamed, expanded or refocused to grasp the problem in a broader context, but the information should be kept. I changed my vote to 'keep'. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 17:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.P.S. – I started working on a main article at User:Petri Krohn/Double Genocide debate. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 20:24, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me that your user space creation is a POV fork of Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism and Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin and could easily be merged into the respective articles. The term "debate" generally means both sides are presented and discussed, but as it stands it seems to only be critical of those two topics, hence it is a POV fork. As a general note, there may be a possible element of WP:ADVOCACY if not WP:COI in this topic area, so we must tread carefully. --Nug (talk) 20:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy close and redirect to Double Genocide debate#Holocaust obfuscation. I have created a new article in Double Genocide debate. This topic should be redirected to that page. There is no point in trying to improve on the current article, even if the topic was notable in itself. There just does not seem to be the manpower available and I am not going to waste any more time on it. There is also the option of defining the concept in Holocaust denial. I believe inclusion there would be supported by reliable sources. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 23:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a Non-Notable Neologism. Actually, come to think of it, a redirection to the phrase's creator, Dovid Katz, would be another good result — maybe the best one. Carrite (talk) 17:25, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (with redirect) to Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism as this is a pure and simple response/criticism to this declaration and has no significant notability outside of it (it may in the future, but it doesn't now). The above proposed solution to a (to be created) article of Double Genocide Debate doesn't really work either, as that, again, is a direct response to Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism and can easily be dealt with there until such time (if it occurs) that it gains wider notability or influence. Ravendrop 21:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The "proposal to merge with Dovid Katz" appeared within seconds of the appearance of the new stub. It is either an automated process or someone is patrolling a little too heavily. The term is important as a description in newer Holocaust literature and needs to be explained carefully. Deleting it as a separate entry would do a disservice to wikipedia readers who expect impartial information and easy access to information, including newer developments in any given field. The term crops up in other sources and can be expanded to include those references by other more knowledgable editors. "Specifically in the Baltic states" and "political forces" are not POV terms, in any event. The term is meant to describe a political ideological movement being spearheaded by certain forces, mainly in Europe, mainly in Eastern Europe, and notably in the Baltic states. "Obfuscation" arguably could be considered a pejorative in certain contexts, but Katz is describing a new phenomenon which is neither Holocaust denial nor Holocaust affirmation. It needs to stay, it needs expansion. Hypatea (talk) 21:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It looks to me as if the new article on Double Genocide theory is a fairly unhistorical account of what could properly be titled the Holocaust uniqueness debate.

- Wikipedia policy is clear on this, per WP:NOTNEO: "Articles on neologisms are commonly deleted"; the policy goes on to state that in order to be kept the term itself must be the subject in independent secondary sources, not just used in newspaper opinion pieces as the presented sources show. --Nug (talk) 04:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay then. A412 (Talk * C) 05:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Nug:The term "Holocaust Obfuscation" is a valid and significant part of the "Double Genocide discussion" or "theory", it is an unquestionable fact supported by many reliable sources. Do you (and others !voting to 'delete') really want to delete the explanation from Wikipedia completely? Why should Wikipedia suppress the information? We are not judges or censors deciding what is appropriate for our readers and what is not. I have a strange feeling that political opinions and standpoints in this discussion predominate over the encyclopedic effort to present neutral and relevant facts. I may be mistaken, it is just my opinion. Dovid_Katz#Double_Genocide_debate is the most appropriate target for redirect at the moment. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - If it's a new theory (actually more like name calling against opponents) mostly used by one person, it's not notable as a stand-alone article. It could be mentioned in a different article, for example the biography of the term's creator. And please explain how exactly two sentences and not a single reliable source (the opinion piece in the NYT does not mention the term "Holocaust Obfuscation") make an article. The only source cited for the existence of this alleged phenomenon is the personal blog of the term's creator. Tataral (talk) 08:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        At an AfD, we should discuss potential of a topic, not just current state. I brought some good sources here (see above) and now I added the most important ones to the article. The theory is not so new, the sources discuss the term continuously (at least) from 2006. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. The sources you added, the first is authored by Dovid Katz himself and the second and third quote Dovid Katz. These are not secondary sources about the term, they only use the term, hence there is no basis for keeping this neologism. --Nug (talk) 23:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been tagged since 2009 for a lack of sources. Doing a search turns up no additional reliable third party sources. The band was short lived, and only released a single, self-published album, thus it does not meet the requirements of WP:BAND. Rorshacma (talk) 08:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The band meets the criteria of WP:BAND for a number of reasons, most strongly "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles."

Okay, I went and added some more reliable third party sources to the page. JanusKie (talk) 17:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-I had actually considered whether or not it met WP:Band due to the "contains two or more independently notable musicians" clause, but decided that of the two members that actually had individual wiki articles, only one really qualified, as the other seems very unnotable himself.

List of left-handed boxers

Six items is not a list, particularly when the only source is of dubious notability. This is borderline WP:PUTEFFORT failure. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 06:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

̶K̶e̶e̶p̶ Redirect and Move Contents to List of Southpaw Stance Boxers - No valid reason given for deletion. WP:PUTEFFORT is an essay, not a policy. This particular list serves the purpose of navigation (per WP:LISTPURP). If the nominator believes that more work should be put into a particular article, he can improve it via editing. This list can easily be added by making use of google and the many many sources available:( Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL ).--Stvfetterly (talk) 14:28, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've added a couple more boxers to the list and formatted the page to look a bit nicer, so it should be very obvious now that there's no reason to delete the article.--Stvfetterly (talk) 15:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Fairly shockingly incomplete, which I take it is the primary objection of the nominator. The question at AfD, however, is whether a nominated page is worthy of inclusion under notability rules. Left-handedness has historically been regarded as one of the most important facets of the fight game, along with weight division. It seems pretty clear that the subject itself is encyclopedia-worthy. Consider this a stub list — to be improved through the normal editing process, not deletion. Carrite (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Wouldn't a list of southpaw boxers be more relevant? As the Southpaw stance article (which already contains a list of southpaw fighters) points out, the stance favoured by boxers does not always correspond to whether they are right or left handed. --Michig (talk) 18:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The list in Southpaw stance contains fighters from many different martial arts (Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Kung Fu, even the NHL for some reason). It is much broader in scope than a list of lefty boxers and could easily be overrun with entries from various martial arts. It makes sense to me to have a seperate article specifically for boxing. --Stvfetterly (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

but should we have a list of left-handed boxers or a list of southpaw-stance boxers?--Michig (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
now I get what you're talking about . . . yeah, changing the title to 'southpaw-stance boxers' would probably make more sense. A redirect from 'Left-handed boxers' to the article would make sense I think. --Stvfetterly (talk) 19:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In keeping with this idea I've created a duplicate article "List of Southpaw Stance Boxers" and will change my Keep to a vote to move content.--Stvfetterly (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Yes, this needs to close Keep first; then moving the category to a new name should happen with the MOVE THIS PAGE link to preserve the history.

Hybrid roller coaster

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

This terminology is made up. There are no coaster magazines, books, or organizations that refer to a hybrid roller coaster as defined on this page. That is why this article has no citations. Recently, Six Flags started to use this term for the New Texas Giant, but it is a term they made up. A coaster is either wooden or steel, depending on the track. The underlying support structure is irrelevant. If you want to keep this article, then find a reliable source. JlACEer (talk) 22:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you take a look at RCDB, Gemini, http://www.rcdb.com/14.htm, for example lists it as Hybrid so i feel this article needs to stay. --Astros4477 (talk) 23:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: the majority of the RCDB pages are categorised as hybrid because that is exactly what they are - a combination of steel track and wooden structure (or vice versa).

~~Merge then~~ delete: I feel that the information in this article could be merged into the respective steel and wooden roller coaster articles. Roller coasters like Gemini and Texas Giant are listed as steel according to RCDB and they should be classified as such here on Wikipedia.

If you look at the "notable hybrid coasters" that are listed you will see Voyage, Hades, Ravine Flyer II; these are all products of The Gravity Group. Go to http://www.thegravitygroup.com/ and you will see that these are listed as wooden coasters according to the designers. You won't find the term "Hybrid Wooden Coaster" on any manufacturer's website. When most people talk of hybrids, they are usually referring to a combination of ride types, like a coaster-flume hybrid, or coaster-dark ride hybrid.JlACEer (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The entire second paragraph is incorrect. The main advantage to using steel structured on a wooden coaster is the reduced footprint. The bents can be narrower with fewer angled supports, and therefore fewer footings are needed. A wood track steel-structured coaster still needs to be walked every day so the statement "lower maintenance in terms of daily labor hours and the need for fewer routine replacement parts" is false. Pressure-treated wooden bents can last 50-60 years, there's no need for frequent replacement. Whether it's steel-structured or wood-structured, the track bed is going to need the same amount of maintenance.JlACEer (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs for this article:

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

Warning: I'm doing something I don't usually approve of. I am renominating this article, days after the nominator withdrew it. I have looked and looked, and despite a promise signaled in the first AfD, I cannot find anything that's even remotely reliable. GBooks produces a few Wiki-based publications and a self-authored book by someone who supposedly endorses them--but nothing meaningful or reliable that would establish notability. The article was an advertisement; not so anymore. Even guitarplayer.com, not the most discerning of sites, offers nothing.

So, with apologies to everyone involved, I think that the first AfD suffered from a lack of decent keep arguments and this should be revisited. I will notify all previous participants. Drmies (talk) 05:25, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (but bear in mind that I am the nominator of the original AfD). I am now beginning to see that I shouldn't have withdrawn, as some original "keeps" didn't really address the issue of notability that I had raised as the nominator.

Merge with Samick? In a brief search, I found very few reliable secondary sources for Greg Bennett Guitars. Doesn't Samick produce this guitar brand?

This is preferable to losing info about this interesting guitar brand.drs (talk) 01:44, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, we have not considered that, and we have no explanation for that. I wouldn't oppose--and in the process we might improve that article a bit (if you start, of course). Drmies (talk) 01:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I would not oppose a merge to Samick, either. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 12:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Samick seems appropriate, as Greg Bennett Guitars is simply a brand produced by Samick, rather than a separate company. Indrek (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable hotel complex. Makes as far as I can tell no attempt to show why this particular building (under construction no less!) is of encyclopedic notability. Notability is not inherited, so partnership with celebrities does not help this topic's notability.

Add to that copyright and advertising problems: Phrases used in this article can be found all over the web, e.g. 1 2. It's in my opinion likely that the marketing of that hotel complex has had an active hand in creating that wording.

Silver Knight Awards

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

You'll find Google Book hits for this term--but not all of them are for this one, and I am not convinced that the mere mention of someone having won this makes it notable. One finds phrases like "awarded to fourteen students in Miami-Dade county annually", but no significant discussion of its origin and meaning. Drmies (talk) 04:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure yet on this, maybe a merge to The Miami Herald article. I am familiar with the award, although that doesn't make it notable. I will say that The Miami Herald#Community involvement mentions that 18,000 students (I presume that includes runners-up) have been honored with this award. A back of the envelope calculation gives well over 1,000 recipients of the Silver Knight itself, so the list of recipients really needs to go, even if the article stays. I see five or so people with WP articles that mention them receiving this award. In the end, though, it will take substantial coverage in reliable sources other than The Miami Herald to establish notability for the article. -- Donald Albury 00:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to The Miami Herald. This is a close call, as many people have been named as having received this award in reliable sources; it is also likely to be well-known locally, as it has received a lot of coverage by its sponsor, The Miami Herald (although we obviously cannot use this coverage to judge notability). I also found a third-party mention of the award here, although it is only brief. Having said this, I agree with Drmies on the most important point - the award itself does not seem to have received the level of coverage from third-party reliable sources that we usually require of an article. I think cutting the list of recipients and merging to The Miami Herald would be the best course of action here. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 01:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. At AFD notability is almost always the main concern, but in this case there is more serious problem, the lack of verification of even the most basic facts about this channel. We cannot have an article on a subject that cannot be verified to exist, and we can't fill in the blanks ourselves. There must be sources which are clearly referring to the article subject, which currently does not appear to be the case. If anyone wants to try and work on this to rectify this issue I'd be happy to WP:USERFY this for them. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. What I can gather from Disney's website and the WP articles here and on ru:WP [5] is that there is no such channel called Disney XD for Russia. Jetix was renamed to Disney Channel on August 2010, and apparently they did released a new channel at the beginning of this month in place of channel "Seven" [6]. It would seem that this article refers to the new channel given the release date, but I can't tell if it's meant to replace the previous one or not. I don't think there's any need to delete the content, only to set the information straight, which might require a rename — Frankie (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should stay, it has info and is real--TBrandley (talk) 21:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Being real is not enough to save an article from deletion. Topics for articles must have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (WP:GNG). Judging solely by this article's references, it has not, as the references are either unreliable (blog posts, Wikipedia entry) or affiliated with Disney XD in Russia (USTREAM channel). It may have received significant coverage elsewhere, however. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 22:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only places I could find which even mention Meadowbrook North are real estate websites, most of which list it as a neighborhood of Bondurant or West Des Moines. In my experience, real estate websites are not reliable sources, since they tend to use location data from other sources including Wikipedia itself, so the article probably fails WP:V.

Keep per WP:ANYBIO.[12] While an argument might be made that the awards were for her film, we then look to WP:FILMMAKER and see that coverage, commentary and review of her work[13][14][15] has her meeting that criteria as well. We improve stub articles on notables, not delete them. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Come on. She doesn't qualify under BIO or FILMMAKER. All but two of the links you've cited just mention her name, nothing more; one is a link to IMDb (which is worthless for Afd purposes) and the other is a trivial dispute about a permit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarityfiend (talk • contribs) 11:33, 27 January 2012‎
  - While the GNG is the easiest way to determine notablity, guideline offers that it is not the only way. We have verifiability of WP:CREATIVE#3 in that "The person has created... a significant or well-known work... that has been the subject of... multiple independent reviews." Seaches show that her multi-award winning film has received the neccessary commentary and review. Guideline does not demand that a significant work must have the coverage of Star Wars or Harry Potter in order for WP:Creative to be met. And as her work has received the coverage to be determined as notable, she is herself per guideline verifiable as notable. And searches show both her award and her film's coverage as verifiable away from IMDB. Or is it somehow being contended that her film did not recieve commentary or review or awards or that she did not receive the further recognition of a major nomination?

Delete even if we say the 11-minute comedy short is absolutely and unquestionably notable (and even that's a strech), she produced it rather than directed it, so I don't think notability can be inherited from that alone. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:13, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To politely disagree, producing a notable project can indeed be impart notability... most specially if it is a project that not only receives significant coverage through commentary and review, but also recognition through an Academy Award nomination and multiple film festival award wins. Wikipedia as an encyclopdia is intended to offer our readers more than just articles on feature length, big-budget, studio films... and even producers of smaller films can be found worthy of note if their projects get the coverage required by guideline.

Comment. Here is substantial coverage from the Los Angeles Times. I do note, however, that most of the coverage I'm seeing is about Causey and her husband and co-nominee Andrew Bowler. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's an excellent source for Time Freak, but the only thing it says about Gigi Causey herself is that her husband has to trick her into watching sci-fi on TV. Not exactly a solid foundation for a BLP article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Signifcant does not depend upon world-wide box ofice receipts, but rather upon a work receiving comentary and coverage in multiple reliable sources, nor is notability dependent upon the length of the work being so covered... and such will remain as the yardstick by which we measure notability and significance until WP:N is re-rewritten.

Did you look at his CV here [16]? There is an awards section at the bottom. It also lists that he has chaired several departments. Between these and all others, I believe he fits many points under WP:ACADEMIC. PermanentVacay (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from his CV (which is not an independent source), I see no evidence that he has chaired a department, which does not meet any of the requirements of WP:PROF anyway. The list of awards is long, but contains trivial things (being an external reviewer is nothing out of the ordinary), minor awards (a small travel grant to go to Heidelberg...), and nominations (but apparently not won). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:03, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then you should use that as a source, not his CV, which should not be used as a reference at all. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Whether a scholar has published a few or a lot of papers/books has absolutely no bearing on notability. What is important is whether those writings have had any impact, which we generally measure here by numbers of citations. As I have no time to look into this in detail right now, I'm abstaining from !voting, but I would like to note that the article currently has no evidence whatsoever of notability. All references are to works of Lavery, except reference 3, which is inappropriate (has nothing to do with Lavery) and reference 4, which is actually the only reference showing somebody has actually read his works. If it is to show notability, the article needs a lot of work. I just used Reflinks to format the references, but would like to note that links to GBooks are not really ideal. Oh, and yes, PermanentVacay, it would have been good form that you as article creator be notified of this AfD. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately this AfD is almost half over and I only just found out about it, and I don't know if I'll have time to add anything to the article by then. Hopefully someone more familiar with him than me will do so (I like to create articles for people that I'm doing research on who don't yet have them - this means I don't necessarily yet know all that much). PermanentVacay (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link to the CV, very helpful. Going through the criteria:

The criterion on awards (number 2) requires a national award or higher and that it should be "highly prestigious". Most of the awards are institutional rather than national or better, and some of them are publishing rather than academic awards. That leaves things like "Mr. Pointy Award for Buffy Studies Scholarship" which I doubt we could call a highly prestigious academic award.

Nothing in the CV for criteria 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8. (Chairing a dept is not enough for 6. 8 requires head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal: he has 3 where he is an editor of a journal rather than an issue, but 2 are very recent so not "well-established". That leaves Critical Studies in Television, where he is one of six editors (not head or chief). So I do not think so.)

Criterion 1 needs an analysis of citations.

Criterion 7 might work - how widely popular are his general audience books? His CV cites interviews - is he frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert? There are quite a few google news hits that are interviewing him.Babakathy (talk) 09:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, criterion 7 seems like a good easy way to show notability. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the article though. PermanentVacay (talk) 09:23, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you do some work on Google News to provide (many) references to a statement such as his work in television studies has led to him being widely recognised as an expert on genres such as XX YY ZZ. I think you'd be able to pick up quite alot. Babakathy (talk) 09:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ninja. My searches in Japanese were inconclusive - I found a few mentions of the word, but no concrete connections with ninjutsu. However, the majority of Japanese books on Google Books are set to "no preview", so this by itself doesn't prove much. The term is not in the Daijirin Japanese monolingual dictionary (very large and comprehensive), although I found it in WWWJDIC (includes some vetted, user-contributed definitions). I did find a couple of English sources that mention it in passing, but none that goes into to any detail. If there is an article in here it would probably require some Japanese-language library research, and until someone puts in that effort I would consider this topic of questionable notability. There are enough results on the web that people could search for it though, so redirecting to a relevant article would probably be best.

Lesser Known British Comic Strips

An encyclopedia should be a collection of fact without the qualification of how important they are. The strip cartoons in this entry, although relatively lesser known today, were highly popular in their time and individually lasted for decades. Rather than have a group of stubs it is, in my opinion, better to collect them in a single article. The importance factor will be different for different individuals. How can any person or group take the right for deletion of an item that was highly accepted in its time. This becomes sencorship. The entry could, however, be combined with another relavant entry, but never deleted!

DonJay (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that "lesser known" is highly subjective. What constitutes "lesser known"? There's no way you can objectively define that term, putting it in direct violation of WP:NPOV. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If the cartoons in this list were highly popular and notable in their time, then considering that notability is not temporary it is inappropriate to describe them collectively as 'lesser known'. The notability in its own right of each individual strip in the list is not in dispute right here and now, just whether the article should exist as a whole. You are correct about things being different for different individuals - the degree of how 'known' a comic strip was is completely arbitrary. Unless a notable list of 'lesser known british comic strips' exists off-project in a reliable source, or we have reliable sources for each individual strip describing each one as 'lesser known' then putting together a list in this manner is original research. To cut down on stubs by collecting together a list is fine, the above suggestion by Darkness Shines of List of British comic strips, or by publication for example List of Daily Mail comic strips would be more acceptable alternatives because the criteria for inclusion in such lists would not be subjective. Note that such lists would have to include all the more notable strips that fit the criteria which have their own articles, and that these strips should be given appropriate prominence, thus the current article would make a poor starting point compared with simply starting another list from scratch. Rubiscous (talk) 05:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal is for deletion, not modification. Consequently it should be rejected. The original entry was not a true list, but rather a collection of stubs, which it was hoped could be enlarged. A better title might have been "British Strip Cartoons of the Early 20th Century". It was my hope that, when each item had been enlarged, that a separate entry could be made, By collecting the stubs together it would be more obvious that additions to them was needed. There has been several edits of this nature. My objection has not been because of change, but rather of deletion due to the use of "Lesser Known" in the title. DonJay (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason as to why "British Strip Cartoons of the Early 20th Century" would not also be completely arbitrary? Was there a notable change in the nature of British comic strips circa 1950? Whilst Wikipedia is a work in progress, each article should stand on its own merits, not by what other articles it might encourage to spawn. Your intentions are noble but such project-work is best confined to the project-space. Consider getting involved with WP:WikiProject_Comics, in particular WP:WikiProject Comics/British comics work group. Rubiscous (talk) 19:03, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Lesser known" anything is problematic. If something is both notable and verifiable enough for a general-interest encyclopedia, in would generally not be "lesser-known" by definition. Looking at the article, I'd say neither of the first two entries are "lesser known": the first ran for 23 years and the second (apparently) almost 30. A better approach to the same material might be a (non-list) article on 20th century British newspaper comics or similar, but since fixing it would require a total rewrite up to and including the title, my vote is to delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of items in an encyclopedia are "lesser known" (in fact, unknown) to an individual. That is why they are there, to become "better known". Deletion is to destroy this possibility of becoming known. Unless the information is preserved within the encyclopedia, the information is likely to be lost. Consequently a deletion should not occur unless the content is elsewhere.

One reason that a collection of stub articles is attractive, is that a peson with knowledge on a subject can easily see where information is sparse, and can possibly add to it. This cannot be done with descrete entries, as it would be necessary to refer to a list and examine each independantly. DonJay (talk) 16:10, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the material in this article is interesting, and I have no reason to believe it isn't true, but I agree that as it is it fails WP:OR (containing no sources) and WP:IINFO. 'Lesser known British comic strips' is simply never going to work as a topic of an article. However, a List of British comic strips, or an article on the History of British comic strips, would be acceptable, providing that they were properly sourced.

Robofish (talk) 22:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons given by Robofishtalk are not relevant . Sources (WP-OR) are given within the text as being the newspapers. These are available in many public libraries. WP-INFO does not apply as the entries are not indiscriminate, by any of the categories given in WP-INFO. In fact they are part of a set. Also the statement "never going to work as a topic of an article" can not be proven, and is unlikely to be true.

The opening sentence of WP-INFO is "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia" . The definition of Encyclopedia (OXFORD) is "a work containing general information on all branches of knowledge". Rejection of this 'request for deletion' should be made. DonJay (talk) 14:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and reanem, per DarknessShines. This is a good example of just where a list article can be useful. We don't have to show formal WP:Notability for each and every entry here, and it can defuse much of the trouble over just such an argument. Besides which, several of these are almost certainly notable anyway: Varoomshka was the infamous "Tits in the Grauniad" strip, Lord God Almighty was an early work by Steve Bell and both Sporting Sam and (the utterly ghastly) The Larks are noteworthy on the basis of their long-running.

If anyone is itching to delete British comic strips, then I suggest starting at the mess that is Category:Beano strips, where any number of unreferenced one-para and entirely trivial articles refuse to die, despite regular attempts. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:20, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That something is lesser known does not make it unimportant, or even non-notable. WP should have appropriate coverage for subjects depending on their importance and the extent of sourcing available, and in many cases this will be less than a full article, if if the notability guidelines permit an article to be written, they do not require that there should be a separate article in all cases--we have the flexibility to do what is suitable to the specific topics. And if these are regarded as non-notable, the guidelines are all very specific that notable does not apply to the content within an article--logically , how could it, because then every event in a person;s life would need to be separately notable if it were to be mentioned at all.

His original comment was "Created page with 'A number of comic strips in British newspaper ran for many years, but little information is still available on them", which leaves me to question any kind of move as it would defeat the purpose of the page's original creation. We understand User:DonJay, you started the article, and while you have mentioned in this afd that "The original entry was not a true list, but rather a collection of stubs, which it was hoped could be enlarged".. What have you personally done with the article since its original creation in 2007 to ensure this was indeed the outcome? Telling other users like Robofish that their opinion is "not relevant", is hardly productive, and is actually frowned upon by administrators that close AFD's. Instead of fighting with others here as to whether or not their opinion is valid, why not make improvements to the article itself while this discussion is taking place such as Northamerica1000 has done? You've been a contributor for a long time, you should know how this process works by now. SaveATreeEatAVegan 03:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the article has to have a "To be included, it must meet this crtieria" in the lead, then something's wrong. No matter what cutoff you institute, it will always be arbitrary. And if there's no objective limit, then there's no point in the article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While I sympathize with the nominator's take on this, with two dozen editors making five or more edits to the page and nearly 100 footnotes showing, the deletion cow has already left the barn. It's best to roll one's eyes and move along, I think... This list has established criteria, is logically constructed, is properly footnoted for the most part, and provides not only an in-link function but also serves as a good merge target for future "Blackout News" stories that spring up. Better in one place than in fifty, eh? I don't see any good point in blowing this one up the way it sits. Carrite (talk) 01:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lists ought to have criteria, and this one's seem reasonable to to me but could be changed through consensus. It is reasonable to assume that people may want to study the history of serious power outages, and this well-referenced list would be a useful and encyclopedic tool for such research. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think that having a criteria is good. Lots of info there, and reasonably good subject. North8000 (talk) 04:12, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notable power outages will get their own articles because of the massive amounts of independant, reliable, significant coverage; this will attract editors to write brilliant prose. We don't need this list. We may want an "Index to articles about notable power outages" some day. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I do not see what you think is wrong with a list having criteria for inclusion. We even have an entry on selection criteria for lists in the Manual of Style and it specifically suggests inclusion criteria be included in the in the lead section of a list article.

Weak keep, but... I'd say this is a reasonable enough article topic, but it would be much better keeping it to outages with their own articles or at the very least related events with their own articles. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Cleanup I can see your point on why you think this article fails notability, but if you think about it, it's not that bad of a subject, ~~however, the entire article is in list form, this is not of an encyclopedia, which is more formal in prose.~~ Also, there are like 50+ in there. ~~A complete rewrite may sound ominous, but I think its required for this article to meet its requirements.~~ --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 22:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Widespread, unplanned, and prolonged power outages have serious effects on societies, and can lead to restructuring of power companies or legislation, not to mention economic consequences comparable to natural disasters. That said, someone will have to keep out the addition of every piddly outage which gets some newspaper space. It is reasonable to have screening criteria such as prefaces the list, but I'm not sure the "customer hours" get widely reported, rather than being internally kept data belonging to utilities. "At least 1000 people for one hour" sounds too small. "At least 1,000,000 customer hours" sounds more reasonable, if the editors can get that data rather than estimating it in original research. Some industry defined standard for a "major outage" would be more encyclopedic .Edison (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If the outage had a significant effect, it will have significant sources. But "hey, were the lights out last night at your place, too?" is not signficant. The General Notability Guideline is our touchstone and prevents us from compiling trivial lists. If the Springfield Times is the only place reporting on the outage in Springfield, it's not terribly notable...if the London Times reports the outage in Springfield, it's notable. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I still think you're missing the point here. No matter what cutoff we use, it'll always be an arbitrary one. Who's to say that a power outage that affects X people is relevant when one that affects Y people isn't? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:59, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- - No, that's exactly the point; GNG trumps arbitrary cutoffs every time. If Obama couldn't recall the missiles because he got stuck in a White House elevator due to a power failure, that would ptentially change history and get written up in multiple sources (assuming the Wikipedia was still accessible after such an event). But Toronto plunged into darkness for a couple of hours is just a momentary inconvenience. --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:27, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I see a cutoff as a screen to keep OUT articles about outages which made the newspapers for one news cycle, and which were judged "newsworthy" by news editors, but which are simply not of encyclopedic importance. Another approach to achieve this would be to require national or international coverage for more than one news cycle. Edison (talk) 00:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Arbitrary cutoffs are not uncommon in article content. For example, we have List of centenarians but not List of nonagenarians. There is a list of NFL quarterbacks who have passed for 400 or more yards in a game but a similar list for 300 yards was deleted. And the List of top 300 MLB home run hitters was recently arbitrarily trimmed from the top 500. I think the key is that we keep the general notability guideline in mind and establish a cutoff which basically says, "if you meet this cutoff, then you would probably meet the GNG, but language or timing may make it difficult to find the references, so in the interest of having a global and non-current perspective and avoiding endless discussion about inclusion of each item, such references (beyond those needed to establish the facts, of course) would not be needed to prove notability."

  - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:59, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - OTHERSTUFFEXISTS says "Sometimes these comparisons are invalid, and sometimes they are valid." It seems to me that there is some validity to the comparison that Matchups made to that other stuff. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not seeing how "other articles use totally arbitrary-ass cutoffs, so this one gets carte blanche" is a valid argument. Maybe, I dunno, the other articles are in the wrong too? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I think it's clear the point of both Matchups and Cullen328 is that your argument 'it has an arbitary cutoff and therefore has to be deleted' is invalid, unless you can make an argument that all articles with an arbitary cutoff should be deleted, which is rather unlikely. (Realisticly, if you tried to delete all the articles listed you'd likely find yourself at WP:ANI and I suspect that's one of the reasons why you haven't nominated them all for deletion, so just saying they're in the wrong is a bit pointless.) This doesn't mean this article should be preserved, but without a valid argument for deletion, there's no reason to delete it either so we would default to keep.

- - Comment It's not a vote, we don't decide by counting hands waved in the air. Does anyone have a basis for the arbitrary 1000 people and 1,000,000 people-hours as being in some way a notable outage? Nice, round, completely thin-air numbers. Guaranteed the North American economy blew more than 1,000,000 people-hours on the Superbowl half-time show and the economy seems to have survived. --Wtshymanski (talk) 00:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
