List of wedding guests of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine Middleton

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

I nominated this for deletion only a few weeks ago. The AfD was highly irregular, with a wave of deletes followed by a wave of keeps, followed by an early close, followed by a review of the close. There were three major issues with the deletion discussion, which cause me to want to renominate this. First, a few people thought that this was a deletion discussion on the article on the wedding, not on the guest list. Second, a lot of people commented not on the article or the policies, but on their love for or hatred of the royal family. Finally, the close was done early because of the timing of the wedding.

I am renominating this for deletion. The guest list recieved coverage only because it was part of the wedding itself. That's why almost every other wedding article has a small number of notable guests in the article on the wedding, not as a separate article. WP:NOTINHERITED would be the relevant page for that. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTDIRECTORY were also brought up last time.

Please note that I am not pursuing some wild vendetta. I won't contest the outcome of this AfD, regardless of what it is. I just want a standard discussion in a more standard environment, with a standard closure, something that didn't happen last time. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the AfD - frankieMR (talk) 01:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per still standing arguments of the previous AfD (with the outcome 'Keep'). Good lord! Could you not have started a regular discussion at first? So.. if I understand well, you nominated the article for deletion the first time, but your intension was declined, and now you are trying it again the second time? As I said, why not held a regular discussion at the talk-page at first, before starting this whole procedure again? Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 01:16, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I made rather clear the reasons why I am deleting this again. The TLDR reason is that it was a huge mess, showcasing just about everything that can go wrong in an AfD (short of mass socking, which thankfully we were spared.) Sven Manguard Wha? 01:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, that's your point of view (and I don't agree with that). Again, why not starting a regular discussion at the talk-page at first?? Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 01:58, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - First of all, I'd like some proper due process for this. Second of all, I feel that a talk page discussion would be seen by just about no one, sadly that's usually the case. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - A talk page is not an effective venue for a deletion discussion. Edison (talk) 04:30, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - What Edison said; beyond which, you already asked the question, and the nom already answered it. You admittedly don't like his answer, but asking the same question repeatedly isn't going to get you a different one. Ravenswing 08:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination, and per WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Edison (talk) 04:29, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with Sven that this needs to be considered again, as I stated at the DRV. Furthermore, I simply do not see this as a notable encyclopedic topic. Though there was some coverage of individuals who were invited or not, that coverage is and can be noted at the main article, within the narrow confines provided by the undue weight clause. There simply isn't coverage that would speak to the notability of the list as a whole. Chick Bowen 05:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The wedding guest list is of fairly major historical/social/diplomatic/political significance, is well sourced, and was the subject of an incredible amount of speculation, both before and after its presentation to the public. Irrespective of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, this is clearly a case where keeping this data serves the public and Wikipedia. Furthermore, I note the last AfD was recent, and that DRV endorsed the close, which makes this nom a little impolite and against previous consensus. Ray^Talk 05:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Utterly random list, as will become more and more clear as this media spectacle recedes into the past. Why not List of people who ate dinner at the restaurant on top of the Seattle Space Needle on New Years Day, 2011??? Carrite (talk) 05:57, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom; this is just plain an unencyclopedic content fork. (Alas, I'm expecting the tidal wave of OMG Wedding!!!!! keep votes) Ravenswing 08:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Given the recent result of Keep, this immediate renomination is disruptive per WP:DELAFD. There is no case for deletion because this is obviously a spinoff from the main article about the wedding and so the worst case is merger into that article per our editing policy. If anyone should doubt the notability of the topic, here is one of many reliable sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not to have this sub-article should be an editorial decision. Whether it is merged or split out from the article about the wedding of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor or not (and how long it should be) is best discussed at Talk:Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. So I guess keep at AfD, discuss elsewhere. —Кузьма^討論 12:42, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment—Leaning toward a keep, although the whole ceremony seems to be blown way out of proportion.—RJH (talk) 14:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Has already survived one recent AfD discussion. Dont see why it should be deleted. Not when considering that the List got international attention has Syria for example was first invited an´d then barred from attending the ceremony for example. Also I am so tired of people using the WP:NOTNEWS as a reason for deletion, when infact Wikipedia IS news and IS built on news. I say Keep anyway.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep massive social and historical significance, as explained at the previous AfD by editor Lachrie and others. FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The issue of who was to be at the wedding was a subject of much discussion and news coverage, so the final, well sourced list is noteworthy. Ordinarily it would be merged into the main article of the wedding, but due to it's size a standalone article is warranted. Seaphoto^Talk 19:08, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is disruptive. The first afd and DRV should have settled the issue. Szzuk (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject has received ample coverage in reliable sources to allow a verifiable and reliable list to be created on the topic. In terms of notability, WP:NOTPAPER applies just as strongly as WP:NOTANYTHINGELSE; if reliable sources exist for List of people who ate dinner at the restaurant on top of the Seattle Space Needle on New Years Day, 2011, to use the example suggested above, then yes, that article is also welcome in our digital encyclopedia. Notability here is indeed not inherited: it stands on its own merits. Inherited notability is invoked to allow a topic which does not have its own reliable sources to nonetheless meet the notability guidelines; this topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject; that is the definition of a topic that meets our standard for inclusion in its own right. I'd consider it no less appropriate a topic than a list of people who played in a sports team for one year 120 years ago, a list of people who participated in (but did not necessarily win) a dog sled race, or a list of everyone who is a member of a college fraternity. Happy‑melon 17:15, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not encyclopedic. Can we imagine Britannica ever doing an article on this subject, even if they had unlimited space and unlimited time for writing? Nyttend (talk) 18:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have to imagine. Britannica already has 14 pages on the subject of Prince William and Catherine Middleton: The Royal Wedding of 2011 including extensive details of the couple, their relatives and guests, the dresses (engagement too), the rings &c. What's more they've done this before - they refer back to their previous coverage of the weddings of Charles/Diana and Andy/Fergie (as they call them). So, your argument that royal wedding coverage is not encyclopedic is refuted. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:34, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable, since the guest list itself was subject to extensive coverage before the wedding, and even on the wedding day itself, so clearly WP:NOTINHERITED doesn't apply. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here too. Please stop citing that policy; it applies to routine news that people may blow out of proportion. WP:NOTDIRECTORY doesn't apply too because it refers to loosely associated topics, genealogical entries, yellow pages, catalogs, etc. It seems these WP: abbreviations are being flung out as loosely-interpreted one-liners to scare away people trying to make common sense arguments. - Yk³ talk · contrib 03:14, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep per Yk Yk Yk, this list has received significant coverage. I personally think this is a fairly poor topic for an article, but it's got plenty of coverage and meets WP:N. The only reason I'm weak is because IDONTLIKEIT. Hobit (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While the guest list was a subject of immense debate, the news coverage I saw gave it no more significance than the dress. While yes, we do have a separate article for the dress (which I consider of questionable encyclopedic value) that does not justify creating a huge list article to give a listing of people at the wedding. Here is the additional consideration. That list almost can't possibly be anywhere near complete. My cursory scan of the list doesn't give me 1900 invitees. Is it of encylopedic value to say that this is the guest list, when it is only a subset of the guest list? Furthermore, I thought we were getting out of the business of making lists like this? Carl ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Perhaps a bit of commonsense will flourish this time around, and we'll realize that the Wikipedia is not a publishing arm of the Daily Mail or the Sun. Who attended a wedding is not even the slightest bit noteworthy, it is dumb tabloid obsession with All Things Royal^(tm). Tarc (talk) 19:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - for the reasons already given at length in the previous, spurious, AfD. Lachrie (talk) 00:43, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Yes, it's silly, but the British seem to like such silliness and have covered it in depth, so it's notable. WP:NOTPAPER allows us to keep notable and sourced silly content. Sandstein 06:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Its notable and is based on significant coverage. There are many many topics on wikipedia that I feel are crap, but others desire this information. There's no benefit from deletion.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 15:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep...again - Since the wedding, this page has been consistently upgraded. The list has been expanded, updated and corrected. Numerous additional citations have been added as well. This has made this list even more detailed and useful to users and the general public. It is far more complete than any media source that is currently available on the web. Thorough, complete and adds much to its corresponding article about a historic event. Scanlan (talk) 20:34, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proverbial "thing someone made up one day". Also, Wikipedia isn't a how-to guide. I would have requested speedy, but there doesn't appear to be a category for it. Dennis Brown (talk) 22:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I used CSD, because I considered calling a made-up sport a "famous sport" from Iceland vandalism. The author is purposefully introducing factually inaccurate information to wikipedia, which falls under Db:-vandalism. Inks.LWC (talk) 22:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He has only created this one article, I am pretty sure that won't fly as vandalism if it is possible (and it is) that the edit was made in good faith but with a very bad understanding of Wikipedia. ie: WP:BITE The "claim" is it being "famous". Yes, rubbish, but that is why I just brought to afd. Most admins (from my experience) wouldn't consider it vandalism, just a bad article. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      - My apologies. I just checked, and of course you are right. I've changed my !vote to delete. I shall have to read the CSD page more carefully when I next have the chance. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 23:17, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How does that meet the guidelines at WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG? Unless you can show that, the article will be deleted. noq (talk) 16:22, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that I don't have the knowledge need to satisfy the WP:MUSICBIO guidelines, but I'm hoping that when someone else puts the info in, it will then satisfy it. I thought the point of wikipedia was that anyone could create / edit an article, so why such strict restrictions on what can be placed. Even if he was just a session musician (which he is not, as far as I'm aware), what harm is there in an article on it? I have seen far more stubs on here that tell you a) absolutely nothing about something that b) can be looked up elsewhere already. Leave the 'suggested deletion' on for now, but please can we let someone other than me, try and add some more info please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markheslop (talk • contribs) 20:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And my point is that Wikipedia has policies about what should be created and what should not. Those policies explicitly state that article subjects should be notable. That WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does not mean that this can be ignored in the hope that someone else will be able to show that. There are an awful lot of articles that should not exist according to policy because so many new articles are created every day that some slip through without being challenged. That does not mean that those that are spotted should be given a free ride. The afd will run its course - if someone can establish notability it does not prevent the article from being recreated. But they will need to do that to prevent it being speedy deleted. noq (talk) 23:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: THREE relists? C'mon. No reliable sources attesting to his notability. Involved with no notable groups. No evidence of meeting any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. No argument to Keep or rationale behind the article's existence proffered, even by the article creator. AfD open for nearly a MONTH without any of these defects being cured. How about a little less of a search for a decisive head count and more towards a review of the arguments presented, which is (theoretically) how AfDs are supposed to be closed?

I was asked at DRV to provide a closing rationale. I apologise for not doing this sooner but I have been away for a few days and wasn't approached about the close or notified about the DRV until later. In essence this is a classic case of where WP:CONSENSUS isn't the same as counting snouts on each side. There is widespread acceptance that spa voters and non-policy based arguments get very little weight in closes compared to opinions from established users who cite policy based arguments and unlike many recent AFD discussions this one was graced with contributions from a number of experienced editors who expressed concern about the lack of reliable sourcing and the view that the subject hadn't passed V or RS or BIO. Looking through the keep arguments there is an assertion that AVN is a reliable source but this contention isn't widely accepted by participants - which I can understand given issues with fact checking and regurgitation of press releases being frequently cited in the past to argue that AVN is neither peer/fact checked nor independant. Otherwise arguments about the number of films, contarcts signed, appearances on Howard Stern or who she married are not arguments grounded in any policy and were discarded. This leaves one opinion that this meets PORNBIO by multiple AVN award nominations but the actual nominations are group rather then individual catagories and it is not clear that this counts in the same way that a headline nomination would do so. Certainly the arguments about awards cut no ice at all with the majority of experienced editors and in closing I found their arguments to be well grounded in core site policy around the requirement to source articles of living persons. There clearly had been an extensive search for sources including *ahem* some off-line examination of magazines so I believe it is a reasonable assumption that there are no suitable sources for this article. Since sub-guidelines are supposed to be an indication of the liklihood of sources existing as the clear indication is that they do not I believe that it is right to discount the PORNBIO argument and go with the BIO/V/RS arguments.

Although many sources are listed, all but two of them are press releases (i.e. not independent). The other two are IMDB and a single AVN article about the launch of the subject's web site. I don't feel it passes WP:GNG. There was a claim (I removed it) that the subject had won a major award, which would squeak it by WP:PORNBIO but the source listed did not mention the award at all. The lead mentions the subject being a columnist but the text says nothing of this. Dismas|^(talk) 20:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-Absolutely one of the biggest porn stars to ever come from europe. She has been on Howard Stern show 7 times and is a favorite. 1. Let's start here: [1] - The best of Karina. Over 35 scenes from 22 movies. This alone sets her apart.

2. She was a sin city CONTRACT GIRL: A rare happening. She was signed exclusively by Scott Stein:[2] Her own collection with Sin City. She is one of only 11 girls ever to sign such a deal.

3.Sin City's Director of Marketing, Scott Stein offered, "We are very lucky to have signed Karina. Super Stardom is imminent. Karina is every bit as nasty - as she is beautiful. Oh ... and those genes - we couldn't be happier!" Sin City is promising to release additional information on the Blonde Bombshell at an upcoming "Adult Industry Only" luncheon. Details to follow shortly. For additional information on Karina, the upcoming luncheon or Sin City Entertainment contact Scott Stein @ 818.407.9990 / 310.837.5069 or e-mail at SMS10@PacBell.net.[3]

4.Karina on Howard Stern and on E Channel:Source: Sin City Entertainment by: Company Press Release (LAS VEGAS, NV) -- Sin City Entertainment is pleased to announce that their Exclusive Contract Performer, Karina, will be appearing on the Howard Stern Radio Show - Again - for an unprecedented - Three consecutive days. The shows will be taped from Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel during the week of April 21st. Never before has an Adult Film Star appeared on the Stern Show in such a fashion.

Karina first appeared on the Stern Show on March 13 in their New York studio. At that time, Stern was so taken with the Finnish Beauty that talks to rebook her began immediately. "Everyone at the show was very impressed by her beauty, as well as, her carefree yet professional demeanor. This is evidenced by her repeat appearance. No one can recall when an adult entertainer has been asked to be on the air for three consecutive days." explained Sin City's Scott Stein.

The premise of this appearance is similar to last month's, in as much as, listeners may have an opportunity to take Karina out on a very special date. The catch? In keeping with the Las Vegas theme - the listeners will have to win a hand of blackjack before given the opportunity. Karina will also be attending several of the parties and functions that the Stern Show has arranged for the week.

"I just loved Howard and everyone with the show. They all made me feel very welcome and I am so excited to take part in their remote from Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a very naughty city and I suspect that I'll add to that," cooed Karina.

The radio show will be taping the evenings of the 22nd, 23rd & 24th and will be broadcast the following mornings. Dates for the show's broadcast on the E! Channel will be announced at a later date. Karina can currently be seen in Sin City's Island Rain, Love Letters. Kiss & Tell, Surfer Girl, Riptide and Dreamgirls. For additional images of Karina, visit SinCity.com and for additional information on Sin City Entertainment or Karina, please contact Kylie Ireland at Kylie@SinCity.com or call 818.407.9990. [4]

Karina will keep an office and studio in Los Angeles where her web site will be run from. "My live cam shows should be starting within the next 30 days. I will have live events featuring other hot porn stars as well as my own weekly live cam shows!"

Karina also wants porn producers to know that her studio will be available for rent as a shooting location. For more information please email KarinaStudio@KarinaVIP.com

Karina is scheduled to appear on the Howard Stern Show Wednesday May [12th.http://ainews.com/Archives/Story6732.phtml]

6. Karina, The Sin City Contract Girl - Mike South [5] By MikeSouth January 27th, 2009 Tom Writes:

Hey man, whatever happened to the old Sin City contract girl, Karina? I always thought she was sexy as hell and she was one of the few real squirters to ever do porn.

I heard she is living in Atlanta now so I thought you might know.

Matter of fact Tom....I do know. Yes she lives here now and she and I have been friends for ages. She recently decided to start doing more stuff in porn and has opened her own store at clips4sale. I have been shooting the content for it for her. Heres a few recent pics from those shoots.[6]

9. Sin City had an interesting month with their new contract girl Karina Kean. Their first press release announced that the company had signed the younger sister of hot star Katja Kean. Just days later, Sin City released a second press release announcing that they had been duped by Karina's agent. It was discovered that is not the younger sibling of the former Sin City girl. Sin City's Director of Marketing, Scott Stein responded to the faux pas, "This situation is obviously something that we're taking very seriously. The documents presented to Sin City, in reference to Karina's identity appeared to be legitimate. I'd personally like to thank everyone for their e-mails and telephone calls alerting me of the deception. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens quite often - even the ages of professional baseball players have been falsified. We are debating legal action against the person who apparently falsified the documents; however, proving that a specific person is accountable may be difficult to prove." As for Karina? "We are one thousand percent convinced that Karina had no knowledge of the misinformation. She, as well as, Sin City - were victims. She was under the impression that her name was simply being changed. We are still committed to having her serve as a representative of Sin City and are convinced that she will be a huge star," explained Stein. Apparently Karina has something even more interesting than a porn bloodline, a link to a celebrity athlete. Stein concluded, "The irony of everything that just happened is - that Karina's true story is even more sensational. The fact that she has a legitimate connection to the National Football League will prove to be more interesting than being a younger sibling to a former adult star. We will be holding a Press Conference shortly to offer more details on this episode, as well as, Karina's real NFL story." The NFL story? OH yA--- Her brother in law Sean Salisbury and was married to Brett Salisbury Karina's name? Isa Salisbury. - Need we prove any more? I can go on and on...Somebody help me. She is a huge megastar.

You addressed exactly zero points of my argument. It's no use copy/pasting what the press releases cited in the article say, or what people in forums or blogs say. In order to be kept, this article needs independent and reliable third party sources. The AFD discussion is not based on whether she exists or not, it's based on whether she is notable per any one of our notability guidelines. For those, you can see WP:GNG, WP:PORNBIO, WP:ENTERTAINER, etc. I see nothing in the article or outside of it that makes me think that she is notable. Dismas|^(talk) 22:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You still don't understand and it seems as though you haven't read a single guideline that I've posted a link to.

The sheer number of films doesn't matter. (not to mention the fact that many of those listed at IAFD are listed as "compilations" which could include scenes from other movies and not original content) There are many actors at IMDB and other databases that have many credits but that doesn't mean they're notable. Same story here.
Who she was married to doesn't matter here. Which, by the way, you haven't proven with any sort of reliable sources. Notability wouldn't necessarily be inherited. See WP:INHERITED for more on that... though I doubt you'll read that either.
I don't need or want to call Stern. He's had thousands of people on his show and not every one of them is notable.
And finally, you still have not shown where the subject has been written about in multiple independent and reliable sources. Dismas|^(talk) 22:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO. I do not see a section there called "PORNBIO," which creates a shortcut to notability for people who perform sex acts for money in front of a camera. The basic requirements of WP:BIO apply to all such sex workers, just like anyone in any other profession. Where are multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage? Press releases, lengthy blathery arguments and handwaving are insufficient. Edison (talk) 04:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - When the impassioned defense at AfD is three times longer than the vapid stub article, you know there are issues. Sources? IMDB, which is user-supplied. Some porn variant of IMDB. And a bunch of flack pieces from a single source, Adult Industry News, which counts as one if you take the leap of faith to presume such a promotional venue is in any way "reliable" in Wikipedia terms. Does not meet GNG, plain and simple. Oooo, I forgot she was nominated for an award by Adult Video News. Wooooooo, I am so impressed. Carrite (talk) 06:07, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adult Industry News is nothing but company press releases to a blog. Which leaves this article with nada in terms of sourcing. Carrite (talk) 06:24, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Karina/Monika Star/Karina Sinclair/ with so many aka's she has more than 300 video titles. What set her apart and still does is there are over 37,000 women each year participating in the adult industry. Each year only 40-50 girls signing contract including Vivid. Karina signed in September of 2003. There were 14 girls in the industry total that signed as CONTRACT WOMEN. To date, over 250,000 women have participated in mainstream porn. Of that, 117 girls have signed contracts in the past 8 YEARS. It's unprecedented. She is 1 of only 117 girls to ever sign as a CONTRACT GIRL. And she did it with Sin_City_(studio). Say what you want, but 117 out of 250,000 women? In 8 years? A contract girl with a major studio? KEEP and ONLY 76 VIVID EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT GIRLS EVER.[13] So the sarcasm of getting the AVN award to even be nominated? It's a bigger deal the Carrite "wooooo, I am so impressed" arrogance. Isn't that 0 tolerance on here? Arrogance and cockiness? Who is Carrite anyway? When you can shoot over 300 movies which I could easily prove, you come see wikipedia. You will probably be notable regardless of what career it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike south atlanta (talk • contribs) 03:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When one does "come and see Wikipedia," one brings with them two or better yet three pieces of significant independent coverage of the article subject or one is apt to quickly find oneself running afoul of WP:Notability at Articles for Deletion. So, let's stop cheerleading for this world heralded mondo mega superstar of porn and start coming up with those three sources, shall we?

Howard Stern will have any woman on his show who is willing to strip. PornWikiLeaks is yet another unreliable source. AVN would count as independent and reliable but so far all you've shown is press releases and databases. If being a contract girl for Sin City is so rare, then someone (who she wasn't paying for the story) must have written about her somewhere. You keep making claims but don't back it up with anything reliable/verifiable/independent. The way you make it sound, she should be as notable as Jenna Haze, Belladonna, or Nikki Dial but they all have independent sources. Dismas|^(talk) 08:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as notable. I had seen the discussion at the article on the English office and do not understand the relevance either. As pointed out above, many of the office holders listed already have their own articles and others will doubtless be created in time. But as for the notability of the office itself, it is difficult to fit its origins into our modern understanding of government in the west. It was a sort of hybrid between an arm of government and high judicial appointment and existed to ensure the proper administration and enforcement of the law in relation to national (crown) taxation and evolved over time. An equivalent office today at national level would be regarded as notable. I too would hope to find this list in Wikipedia. --AJHingston (talk) 10:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as a compromise. Article lacks sufficient sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The fictional starship, as a subject, does not meet the general notability guideline and the content is a plot-only description of a fictional work. The two references within the article only support the opening paragraph, so the content has no verifiability which makes the article original research and an unneeded content fork. I favor deletion over a redirect since the starship participation in the series is quite limited, barely one episode and a couple of cameos, so I do not think that it is a plausible search term for the majority of Wikipedia users. Jfgslo (talk) 23:34, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, to whichever of the two targets suggested above at editorial discretion (the initial choice being left to admin discretion based on this discussion), and allow to merge content at editorial discretion. Redirects are deleted only in extreme circumstances, there are no reasons to delete this redirect, as the guideline on deleting redirects makes clear; moreover redirects do not have to be "plausible search terms for the majority of WP users", such a high standard would ensure the deletion of the vast majority of redirects and is certainly not recognized by the community (there is a recognized "plausible search term" standard though, which this redirect satisfies). In addition, keeping the history of those pages can provide for the merging of appropriate encyclopedic information in the relevant articles. Cenarium (talk) 00:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cactus Garden

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

PROD for notability was removed and then a similar minor copyvio reinstated, concerns about notability raised and a citation challenged. Basically, the contributor seems to have justified the PROD s/he removed! AfD on the grounds of lack of non-trivial sources for notability. Sitush (talk) 20:14, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

edited to add !vote: weak keep It appears there is some confusion about what actually happened at this article but ... It looks like there may be a source in india today that supports a claim of "largest cactus garden in Asia" which would make me lean towards keeping, but the actual text is not visible in the snipped view [17] The remaining sources appear to be only trivial and so if we cannot verify the india today claim, I am OK with deletion. Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:29, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify the confusion, I used Reflinks in automated mode (ie: via a "Favourites/Bookmark" link) immediately after PRODing. It fixed the (then single) reference but appears to have auto-deleted the PROD. It looks like a bug. I shall revert to using Reflinks manually, which provides the ability to preview changes. I have apologised to Active Banana for this casting of an aspersion. I had previously seen the same snippet in India Today but dismissed it as probably being a regurgitated piece of PR. I think we need more than just the one source for the statement, whether snippet view or otherwise. - Sitush (talk) 23:10, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have registered my opinion as "week keep"- we have a Time of India source that clearly supports claim of "largest of its kind in Asia", although the other coverage appears to be fairly trivial. Active Banana (^bananaphone 18:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If a subject is cited in multiple references and is locally popular, it is of course notable. As a user above stated, google searches often do no justice. It seems that this place is a locally popular place, and hence I feel, we should have no further say on this as this page has to be kept, as this would necessitate a redefining of the term wide coverage.. Manorathan (talk) 07:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If kept, as seems to be the trend, it should be renamed, because there are numerous places around the world called Cactus Garden, including one in San Diego, one in Arizona, one at Stanford ... you get the idea. How about Cactus Garden (India)? Or its formal name as suggested above.

Delete Does not seem to be independently notable. Could be redirected to Paganistan. --MelanieN (talk) 01:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response The problem with a redirect to Paganistan is that is a neologism seemingly used only by Twin Cities neo-paganists, and one of those folks wrote a thesis with that name. When reliable sources use the term, it is only in passing when looking for a colorful quote by people active in that community. There is no in-depth independent coverage of that topic in reliable sources that I have been able to find. Therefore, it is not a good redirect target.

Keep As the article states, forsa is one of Germany's top polling firms. I have retranslated what was there, inserting the reference that had been omitted, and translated the remainder of the article, adding a reference for material that was sourced but did not have a reference. The article now has numerous references, many from a variety of major newspapers, all mentioning the firm more than incidentally. Notability is therefore now clearly established.

Article on a footballer who fails WP:NFOOTY for two reasons: According to sources, he signed with Bradford City today and has not appeared in any games. Also, his previous club, Matlock Town, is part of the Northern Premier League, which as far as I can tell is not a "fully professional league" according to WP:FPL. As far as WP:GNG goes I found little reliable source coverage outside of routine local coverage. Article can be recreated if/when he appears in a game for Bradford City, which as I understand is in a fully professional league. I'm not an expert on the workings of football/soccer outside the U.S., so if I have misinterpreted the criteria please let me know and I will reconsider this nomination. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete (probably) Standard WP:FOOTY would suggest to delete. He did score 7 goals in an FA Trophy game though, and won a golden boot for the NPL Premier, so there might be reasonable press coverage of either or both of those events. There are a couple of Derby Evening Telegraph articles (this one in particular) but most of it's match report coverage as far as I can see. Close call though - press coverage in Bradford press over the next few days might just push him to meet the GNG in this case. I'm sure he'll play in August, so worst case is that he gets recreated then. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:16, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources, unless you count his own web site. I have also searched online and found absolutely not a single independent source giving any significant coverage. Personally I think it does qualify for CSD A7: I don't see any claims of significance, unless you count things like "Mat Hennek also took advertising pictures for major brands", and a list of famous people he has photographed, but notability is not inherited from something notable you photograph. The fact that he has had exhibitions in a number of commercial galleries does not establish notability: that is how artists sell their work, and how the galleries make a living.

Comment. Some of what's above seems over the top. The nomination says: Claims exhibits in galleries but links provided are to the galleries themselves, nothing on his contributions, amounting to no more than spamlinks for the galleries. Well, he now has four "current" exhibitions, according to the article. Three of these aren't actually current by my understanding of the word; they're instead future. As for the fourth, I can't see anything on the gallery's site about the specific exhibition, but this may be because it's in Flash (which my browser doesn't show); the site does have this. (And of the three in the future, one, we're told, is at a Leica gallery. This Leica gallery is in Austria, and I don't know it; but to be exhibited in the Leica galleries I do know is not easy. Of course some of the exhibitions there are duds, as are exhibitions anywhere, but it does suggest that the photographer has "arrived". Although yet again this is an exhibition in the future, and no documentation has yet been proffered.) ¶ Further: The fact that he has had exhibitions in a number of commercial galleries does not establish notability: that is how artists sell their work, and how the galleries make a living. Well, yes, partly. But commercial galleries don't sell photos in the same way that, say, bookstores sell books. The range is much smaller in the former than the latter, and being exhibited commercially is not a negligible achievement. ¶ And so? I'm tending toward deletion, but in the meantime I point out the curious imbalances in this encyclopedia. (Consider: The fact that he has had played soccer in a number of commercial matches does not establish notability: that is how footballers earn their keep, and how professional clubs make a living.) -- Hoary (talk) 13:21, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see what you mean. However, what I was trying to convey is that any successful artist is likely to exhibit their work in galleries, so that the fact that one has done so does not in itself indicate any more notability than the general mass of artists, so that we need further evidence of notability. Perhaps I didn't express it very well. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above discussion, the analogy between exhibiting in a commercial gallery and participating at the professional level in sports is an apples/oranges comparison. Being exhibited commercially is not negligible, but it does not establish notability, especially if the exhibitions have not received objective coverage. If such analogies are used, I think a better comparison re: notability would be between an athlete competing professionally and an artist as subject of a museum exhibition--generally, solo exhibitions in those venues take on greater significance. WP:ARTIST is helpful here, and underscores what the article lacks, as well as what neither a Google search nor the agent's edits have yet supplied. (Not to be counted as a separate 'vote'; I'm the same contributor as the above IP). 99.156.68.228 (talk) 21:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being exhibited commercially is not negligible, but it does not establish notability, especially if the exhibitions have not received objective coverage. This is not unreasonable. However: I think a better comparison re: notability would be between an athlete competing professionally and an artist as subject of a museum exhibition--generally, solo exhibitions in those venues take on greater significance. They certainly do have a greater significance, and they are surely enough for "notability". However, in much of the world (e.g. Japan, where I happen to be), they're only staged for people who are already notable -- it's rare to be the subject of a solo museum exhibition if you're under 60, vanishingly rare if you're under 40. And people who are interested must decide to devote thirty minutes and (almost always) some money to the appreciation of work by that single person. Contrast the soccer player, who merely needs to be one of 22 people to whom people direct their attention. -- Hoary (talk) 00:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to jump IPs again--I'm traveling while attempting to retain anonymity. I'm not sure where the artist/athlete comparison is going, but it seems like a side trip. I think Wikipedia too easily includes biographies of professional athletes who don't appear notable based on achievment or reliable sources, but that's a discussion for notability guidelines regarding athletes. As a practicing artist, I can vouch that there are probably hundreds of thousands who, like me, attempt to eke out a living in part by exhibiting commercially--one's notability is not established by virtue of such shows, but by published articles about the artist and their work. 64.222.237.179 (talk) 02:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shinese

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

Note: I am relisting this so soon after the previous AfD because of the outcome at DRV (Deletion Review, May 2nd).

The sources in the article are as follows; I was unable to find any others that did not have boilerplate mixed-breed text:

Four designer dog registries or lists. Please note that two say that other crosses will be added on breeder request, and one says "All new combinations are welcome to be submitted for review to be included." None of them give any information about the Shinese whatsoever aside from it being a Shih Tzu x Pekingese cross
Two articles that literally mention its name and nothing else
A page on dogster, the sole content being "Shineses are hybrids of Shih Tzu and Pekingese dog breeds." along with random dogs with "Shinese" listed as breed
Dog Breed Info page. This is not a reliable source, but even if that is ignored, the only content is their boilerplate text for mixed-breeds and some user-submitted pictures. Take a look at another, like the Afollie, for evidence
A broken link, archived in the Wayback Machine here. Fails the policy on self-published sources: http://www.mixedbreedpups.com/about/
Finally, we have a slew of books + one website related to Shih Tzu and Pekingese individually. Although a significant outcross to a Pekingese within the Shih Tzu breed may have occurred, it does not mean it has any relevance whatsoever to the current designer dog known as the "Shinese". In the 1940s, a significant outcross to a Newfoundland was made within the Bernese Mountain Dog breed, and I've seen crosses of the two. Does that mean that it's notable in any way, any more than a Dalmatian-English Pointer cross is notable because of a very real health-related outcross? It's significant to the breed in question, undoubtedly, but that does not mean that the modern-day designer dog has anything to do with it. In fact, I have seen no evidence of a relationship whatsoever. I'd be happy to see evidence to the contrary, but nobody has given any so far nor have I been able to find any myself.
Other generalized books relating to dogs or mixed breeds. I have read through most of these myself in the past, and know that they do not cover the Shinese; none of these are used to support specific information about the Shinese itself, which is the article's topic. There is some information about how the two breeds (Shih Tzu and Pekingese) are similar, but this does not cover the Shinese as a (prospective breed)/cross.

Thus, although it has many sources, I would appreciate it if voters (!voters, if you prefer) would look carefully at them to decide whether they actually cover the mixed breed. Like I said above, no evidence has been found by me that indicates a reliable source about the Shinese exists, period. Thanks in advance. – anna 11:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment there is a nasty habit of Wikipedians saying "it has lots of sources = it is notable = keep". What we need here is a serious debate as to whether the sources are reliable, and even if they are, do they give facts that support the article and allow us to have solid content, or do they just give passing mention? I call on any keep voters to indicate what sources they think the content of this article ought to rest upon. If they can do that, keep. Otherwise we must delete. Closing admin: the question to you is "have the arguments that the nominator has presented been rebutted in the course of the debate?" If they have, keep. If they have not, delete. this nomination is not based on notability but verifiability. --Scott Mac 11:43, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a non-notable hybrid. I really can't see any significant coverage in the sources above which can be termed reliable. --Anthem of joy (talk) 12:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article has been kept twice at AFD already and shouldn't have to suffer this triple jeopardy. Crosses between Shih Tzu and Pekingese are quite notable and there are plenty of sources which discuss them in detail. As this is the topic of the article, there is no case for deletion. One might discuss the matter in the article for those breeds but one would then have to repeat the material and so a page for the cross seems reasonable. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The "triple jeopardy" argument is invalid. If you look at the previous nominations, then the specific objections raised here were never debated (indeed there was no debate). The question isn't a procedural one, it is whether the article complies with our core policy of verifiability. The nominator has at length outlined an argument that it doesn't. A keep voter needs to explicitly refute. Vague gesturing at notability and multiple sources are not a reply. Specifically, which sources do you think allow us to create a solid article - and why is the nominator wrong to dispute this. Something AFD has a tendency to one-dimensional thinking, and reduce everything to "notability". The question here is not notability, it is whether sources exist to support and verify a factual article. Any response which doesn't engage with that is simply irrelevant to the debate.--Scott Mac 17:10, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sources exist; I looked through them last time and was satisfied. A key point to note is our policy that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The topic here is crosses between Shih Tzu and Pekingese. It is abundantly clear such crosses have occurred and are documented in reliable sources; the nominator admits as much. The rest is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Our emphatic deletion policy is that "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD.". Editors should therefore please not use AFD as a general purpose tool to resolve content disputes. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, you are misreading this. The topic here is not "crosses between Shih Tzu and Pekingese" the topic is Shinese. The nominator is suggestion that there are, in fact, no reliable sources discussing the Shinese. You disagree. Fine. All I'm asking is which specific source(s), relating to Shinese, you consider to be reliable enough to support an article?--Scott Mac 17:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) The issue here is associating two concepts that are unrelated at their core. Here's a true, very similar situation: there is a modern designer dog called the "Bernefie", a Bernese Mountain Dog x Newfoundland cross. It's about as verifiable as the Shinese. In 1948, there was an outcross to a Newfoundland within the Bernese Mountain Dog breed that undoubtedly had some kind of impact on the BMD breed. However, connecting these two events is not entirely logical unless evidence can be found; differences abound between making an outcross to improve one of the parent breeds and crossing two breeds in order to cultivate the resulting mix, especially when considering the amount of time that has passed between the two events. The same can be said of connecting the Shinese to an outcross by Elfreda Evans in the 50s. Shineses lacks reliable sources, which was the whole point of my argument. – anna 17:36, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument that Shinese are unrelated to crosses of the parent breeds is nonsensical - this is exactly what they are. You just seem to be nit-picking about nomenclature but Wikipedia is not a dictionary and so we are not here to argue about words. The breed name is recognised by the American Canine Hybrid Club and other similar registries. The rest is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems nonsensical to connect two things with entirely different histories and intentions (and constitutes "original research"). The burden of proof is on those who want to keep the article by arguing the two are intimately connected -- where does it say so? Superficially, sure, but there's a huge difference: early Peke-Shih Tzu crosses were carefully incorporated back into the Shih Tzu breed, while the Shinese, in the same way as designer dogs generally, is bred specifically as a mixed-breed dog, keeping the 50/50 mix of each parent breed. (According to various reliable sources, most designer dogs are generally bred because they're in vogue, which is another factor that sets the two apart -- the outcross was the exact opposite at the time, so there were other motivations at play.) No historical connection has been pointed to, and a tenuous practical connection. The American Canine Hybrid Club accepts any crosses that are submitted -- how is that an arbiter of anything? "OTHER HYBRIDS WILL BE ADDED AS DEMANDED BY BREEDERS": straight from the horse's mouth.
Here's a non-dog analogy: one person sets fire to a famous house in 1940, for political reasons. This event has no particular name but has some coverage in a few newspapers. Later, in 2003, a delinquent sets fire to the same house for shits and giggles, and the event is dubbed "The Bungalow Burning" by locals and a few blogs, "self-published sources", et al, but no reliable sources give it a mention. Would you argue that both incidents should be dubbed "The Bungalow Burning" within their own Wikipedia article? Does that strike you as misleading? Although one could argue that perhaps the first burning was the reason that The Bungalow Burning occurred, that line of reasoning would be nullified if there were a slew of similar burnings around the same time to different famous houses -- which is, in essence, what designer breeding is (substitute "burnings" for "breedings" and "houses" for "breeds", although that's obvious, I know). It's likely we won't agree on this, but I hope that summarizes it decently. – anna 19:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sources provided in the article are not sufficient to demonstrate notability under the WP:GNG. All the same, the basic existence of the breed (at least in terms of meaning something to dog-fanciers) is not in question and the sources in the article do serve to verify that. Is that enough? If this was a species of beetle instead of a breed of dog, there would be no doubt - we do not delete articles on verifiable species, no matter how uninteresting. There is no subject-specific notability guideline for dog breeds, though there was an attempt to establish one some years ago in WikiProject Dogs. Nor is there a precedent in the form of common deletion outcomes. The WikiProject discussion is interesting, because there is a strong suggestion that recognition of the breed by the various major kennel clubs would be a bare-minimum requirement for meeting the proposed notability standard. I checked the databases of the American, Canadian and UK kennel clubs, and none of them list any of the variant names of this breed. So this article doesn't meet the GNG, and probably wouldn't meet the subject-specific guideline either, if it existed, which it doesn't. So in the end, sorry, but there's just no basis for calling this notable. If it was recognized as a mainstream breed, I'd probably be arguing along the lines of inherent notability, but it just isn't, so I just amn't. Delete. Thparkth (talk) 02:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as the author, I apologize for the extensive discussion this has caused, and applaud Anna for her diligence. I have to say that I still kind of feel that even though it didn't have the name "Shinese" during early and modern crossbreeding, it still was in essence a cross between the two, even without the actual modern assigned name. I will continue to look for references offline, I am determined there must be something out there! However, if this ends up being closed as delete, I ask that the closing admin please paste the contents into a sandbox of mine, as I remain hopeful it will one day be inarguably notable. - Theornamentalist (talk) 01:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As I said at the DRV, someone typing "Shinese" into Wikipedia's searchbox has probably made a typo for "Chinese" or "Shinies" or something, but it's plausible that they're looking for information on this non-notable kind of designer dog, so there probably ought to be a redirect to List of dog hybrids where shinese are mentioned.—S Marshall T/C 18:52, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unfortunately until independent reliable references are available, the breed isn't sufficiently notable. I've had dogster and dogbreedinfo thrown out of articles at the GA stage before for being unreliable. Any cross breed registry is only sufficient to list that it is recognized by that registry as often they are pay to register. If it ends up being as popular as a Puggle or a Cockerpoo, then the article can be recreated then. Miyagawa (talk) 18:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - WP:LINKFARM's second bullet does discourage the overuse of internal links, but it also states that navigational lists such as this can be an exception. A little more prose and information on individual players might be enough to overcome the problem. And it's not entirely redundant to the category, as redlinks can't appear there.

Keep or as a last resort Merge - Im just going to copy and paste what i wrote last time:

"This article has been here since 2004 without any major problem until now. I see nothing wrong with this article as it is. Yes, its at Memory Alpha...but that doesnt mean we shouldnt have it here. I disagree with it being non-notable, it played a large part in the FINAL episode of an entire series. That enough makes it notable in my personal opinion."
However, as someone seems SO intent on deleting it, i ask at the very least that it is merged with Starfleet ship registry and classes in Star Trek, with much of the detail that it currently contains. Bailo26 23:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If, as it appears, there are 22 (!) claases of starship in the Star Trek continuity, and 21 of them are (so far) uncontroversially notable, no useful purpose is served by treating the 22nd differently. From WP:OSE: In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items.

Merge or Keep. This is a reasonable search term and there should be a mention of this design at List of starship classes in Star Trek at the very least.

Eluchil404 (talk) 04:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep lists three different non-vanity published RS'es. Unless Pocket Books and Simon and Schuster are owned by Paramount Television, they're independent sources. Just because producers of the show wrote the books doesn't make them not independent RS'es. The fact that there's a separate editorial oversight and decision making process ("Will this sell enough to make us a profit?") unrelated to the promotion of the TV show is what counts for independence. Having said that, there's no reason an editorial merge proposal would be inappropriate--it does appear that of the Star Trek ships this one is likely the least notable... but still: this is Star Trek, and published sources abound for everything. Jclemens (talk) 05:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Simon and Schuster owns Pocket Books, *and* they are the license holder for Star Trek books. So, they are *not* independent sources. Pocket Books is the publisher of all those books you seen in the book store in the Science Fiction shelves for Star Trek novels. Clearly S&S is a primary source for Star Trek, being a licensee of official products. 184.144.163.181 (talk) 04:59, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, holding a license does not make a publisher editorially dependent on anyone else. They decide what they publish, they decide how they're going to try to make money off of it. That's a far cry from the production company's own publications. Jclemens (talk) 05:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - They publish original material, Star Trek novels, therefore, they are a primary source for Star Trek (just as the comics companies are primary sources for Star Trek, since they publish officially sanctioned original stories). The Star Trek Enclopedias etc are the production company's books published by S&S. 184.144.163.181 (talk) 05:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - All three books were published under Paramount's direction and Paramount still regains the copyrights, so they are not independent source. The books were written by Paramount's staff and Simon and Schuster had no editorial control over them. All Simon and Schuster did was print and distribute the books under license. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject. The authors of the books, Paramount, and Simon and Schuster are all affiliated with Star Trek, therefore they cannot establish notability of fictional elements within Star Trek. —Farix (t | c) 12:06, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. I'd call them secondary since they aren't actual cites to the TV show itself which would be the primary source material. They are, however, all or at least mostly to the official secondary materials and thus not really independent. I don't have an informed opinion of the Transformers articles but note that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an argument to avoid because similarly situated articles are not necessarily identically situated. On the other hand, certain very popular fandoms do sometimes seem to get a pass do to lots of fans voting keep at AfD. There isn't much that can be done about it, but if we do want to equalize treatment of say Star Trek and Transformers (an another pair of similarly situated areas) I'd "vote" to equalize up rather than down.

Dubious notability. Sources are all tagged as unreliable and/or dead. I found nothing reliable at all, nor any sort of notability beyond unsourced wank about an alleged copyright scuffle with Nintendo.

Keep - I beg to differ, if Nintendo cares enough to sic their lawyers on the creator of SMBX, doesn't that make this game notable in its own right? In other words, Nintendo sees this game as problematic, yet doesn't sue over Mother 3? Just my 2 cents I guess. Like all good articles, it needs love, and perhaps needs to be looked at a point of view that isn't a fan's point of view, that way anyone can understand what SMBX is all about. 67.150.84.254 (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC) — 67.150.84.254 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Please read WP:GNG. It's possible to have a lawsuit filed against you but not be notable yourself.

Redirect per usual for non-notable elementary schools. Carrite (talk) 05:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep all this is too many to nominate in one shot, and the first four I checked Bohol Wisdom School, Bannister Academy and Bacolod Christian College of Negros had high school components and so should be kept by established practice. Academe of St. Jude Thaddeus also seems to be beyond elementary. They are not so promotional that some eidting would not fix. So I would suggest that Moray An Par goes back and checks more carefully which ones are elementary only and then strikes the others off the list to withdrawn them from this nomination. In fact they shoould all be withdrawn if proper notification does not take place. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all and nominate each school that is non-notable separately. ~~Keep~~ at least all of the high schools, per WP:NHS and also per the general argument given by Jimbo Wales with specific reference to high school articles as an example. Also this list is too long. Each school's article should be given individual consideration, because the justifications will be different. I suggest that you begin by removing the high schools. --EPadmirateur (talk) 06:16, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update All major contributors of the nominated articles ~~(except those annotated as high schools and still not withdrawn)~~ have been informed. Moray An Par (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am wholly in favor of deleting non notable schools, but I don't have the time to go through a list this long. I can't in good conscience ever give a nod for delete unless I have a chance to really look at an article and make some decisions ... this is just too much all at once. LonelyBeacon (talk) 13:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will divide my vote into three parts, precisely because this vote is complicated by the fact that several schools are on this AfD, and several of the schools listed are private schools (not public ones, which complicates the redirect process should that be successful)
- Keep and clean up all public elementary schools as these should be automatically notable. Given that only Congress has the power to establish public schools in the Philippines by virtue of its law-making powers, these schools should automatically be notable, the same way public high schools are.
- Keep and clean up all private schools with high school components as these should also be notable per the precedents surrounding the notability of high schools. One of the private schools not stricken off the AfD per Moray An Par's withdrawal of nomination for schools with high schools is the Immaculate Conception School for Boys (Malolos, Philippines), which has a high school component (proof: one of my classmates in the Ateneo is from ICSB).
- Neutral but clean up all other schools since I haven't been able to give a lot of thought into them as to whether or not they should be deleted. I will probably release judgement on this later. However, I can say that if poor writing quality was such a problem, why take the effort to proceed with AfD when cleaning up the articles themselves would probably be more practical. I don't buy the argument that just because the articles are written poorly, praise and all, it becomes indicative of their non-notability and they should automatically be deleted. I really believe more thought should have been put into this AfD. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 22:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all - mass nominations are wholly inappropriate for schools which merit individual consideration. If the nominator brings these back singly, then he needs to provide a specific rationale for each nomination. TerriersFan (talk) 23:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all elementary schools To their locality or school district, which is the de facto standard for dealing with elementary or middle school articles. Keep all public high school articles, which is also a de facto notability guideline. Public schools (elementary or middle) with a high school should be kept. Edison (talk) 04:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that is that the majority of the schools listed in the AfD are not public schools, but private schools. Only a handful of schools listed here are public. So what about those schools? --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 05:36, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Schools are schools whether public, non-profit (such as these), or even blatant commercial undertakings. The policies, guidelines, essays, and precedents, AFAIK, do not differentiate. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Private parochial and "home" schools must be examined to make sure they are equivalent to public high schools. A "high school" with just a few students is not as deserving of a presumption of notability as a public high school with hundreds of students which has been around for many decades.

Keep Thompson Christian School, which had references at the time of nomination showing that it is a high school. As for the rest, just close this discussion without prejudice to future individual nomination.

The article is a very close paraphrase of this source it cites, so I can't agree OR is quite the issue here. A larger issue in my mind is copyright violation concerns, as the paraphrasing of the source is minor; most of the text appears byte-for-byte identically in both, with this article moving some information around, rewording some sentences, and cutting large amounts of text. While the tone of the article is that of an essay, rather than an encyclopedia article, it is for copyright reasons that we must delete. Cheers, everyone. lifebaka++ 17:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In addition to copyright issues, it's based on only a single review of Ebert's, so not worth merging to Tom Cruise. There is already mention there that should be edited as it suggests this is a widely held idea. Jeffwimbush (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Lifebaka and Jeffwimbush. Among the other problems with this article is that it is about 20 years out of date; while the analysis described in the article can be applied to a few of Cruise's films, it would be difficult to apply it to, say, Eyes Wide Shut or Collateral. While changing the title to Analysis of a few of Tom Cruise's films would make it more accurate, it would also illustrate why the subject is not really meant to be the topic of an encyclopedia article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:08, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 01:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not a Playmate, but a model who's appeared in various less prominent Playboy publications; most such models are clearly non-notable. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 14:21, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie Freak

AfDs for this article:

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

The subject is non-notable. "Charlie Freak" is no more well-known than any of the dozens of other songs in Steely Dan's recorded output. Furthermore, though the article has been in existence for over five years, it has no true content. The first paragraph consists of info from Pretzel Logic, and the second paragraph simply summarizes the song's lyrics. I reviewed the article's history for possible vandalism but found nothing. It never had any real content, and given the song's lack of notability, it is unlikely that it ever will, due to lack of mentions in third party sources.

Non-notable child actor, article reads like a promotion. "He has appeared in a Lego advert", for example.

Delete The actor notability guidelines look for significant roles in multiple television shows, films, etc. I imagine a recurring role in one major television show clears the "significant" hurdle, but there's little evidence that he's clearing the "multiple" hurdle and, given the lack of additional reliable sourcing, I think this is a delete, perhaps a bit on the too soon side. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 03:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions.

Undecided. This article is about a keiretsu, apparently a Japanese conglomerate business. The article claims it is the largest, but the keiretsu article claims Toyota is the largest. I do find two incidental mentions of this business in The Economist stories.[32][33]. According to the second story this one is now part of a group called Mizuho; see if that fetches anything. I find it difficult to imagine that a conglomerate of such apparent size and importance has so few sources. I can't search in Japanese or interpret Japanese results, which may be where the paydirt lies. Vagaries of transliteration or translation may also mean that it's better known as something else in English. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:11, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable product lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. ttonyb (talk) 15:49, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contesting Deletion I would argue that this supplement is notable because of it's novelty. The product is one of the only non-prescription 'nootropic' drugs legally available on the UK market. (I can get the ingredients up if you think that's appropriate, but I thought that might be a CoI, I wanted to make an informational page about the product without it being a CoI, in other words, I'm trying not to make this into an advert or product placement or anything of the sort, any suggestions to reinforce that would be appreciated). I also think it is a matter of interest when products are aimed at the young. Admittedly it does not have many GHits, but I predict that it soon will. If this means it is worth deleting and recreating when this is the case then I understand, but to me that seems a waste of energy. Charlesmacnamara (talk) 18:17, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. This page currently exists only to promote a product, and would require a top to bottom rewrite to become an encyclopedia article rather than an advertisement. So tagging: a brand of supplement sold in the UK, aimed specifically at student athletes. It is a neural and cognitive support supplement, marketed as a neural accelerator. It is notable due to its novelty, acting as one of the only legal non-prescription nootropic drugs in the UK market. This represents a large change in government legislation, allowing certain previously banned substances to enter the marketplace as a result of clinical trials showing their efficacy and benefits. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
