- Delete His chief claim to fame appears to be the two companies he founded, Flip It Records and Pagoda Ventures. There is a mention of him in relation to the Flip-It Records release of the Dolly Parton's single in a brief Time Magazine article: People: Move over Madonna, here's Dolly. And that's it. No other commercially released recordings and 0 press coverage of the company, [1] apart from the April 7, 1997 Time article. Likewise 0 general web coverage in reliable, independent sources, just a few digital downloads, and used promo recordings for sale. The WP article itself says the company closed after 2 years because of "licensing disputes" with Universal Music Group. As for Pagoda Ventures, if it is "one of the world's major metal trading companies" as the article asserts, there would be more coverage in Google news than this [2]. Likewise, no significant general web coverage by reliable independent sources [3]. These are the Google News results (all dates) for "Kyle Baxter Utley" [4], presumably a different "Kyle Baxter Utley"? (e.g. "U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White says Kyle Baxter Utley was engaged in a host of fraud schemes from 1992 to 1997." - UPI, 10-15-1998) See also general web results for "Kyle Baxter Utley [5] and "Kyle Utley" [6]. I also have a subscription to the Highbeam publications library. Nothing there either, apart from what's already been mentioned. - Voceditenore (talk) 13:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- EBillMe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
No refs, no notability (asserted or otherwise). flaminglawyer 02:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It gets plenty of hits on google - there's a website called ebillme.com which certainly appears to have some notability. However this is bordering on advertising. I would suggest redirecting to Electronic billing unless someone improves it. -- roleplayer 02:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I am new to really editing Wikipedia, but I'm trying to do my honest best. This is NOT advertising any more than any page on any business. Now, I think it might be good to have some general page that describes the type of service this is, and lists eBillMe as one provider. Fact is, objective information about this type of service is valid. It is not simply Electronic Billing, because it doesn't actually work like that, but rather uses that system in order to function, but it is a different service. I don't know that ebillme should be a unique wikipedia page, but it SHOULD be listed and explained somewhere on wikipedia. Objective comparison of its functions versus Paypal or Google Checkout or others is valid. Those other services are discussed here at wikipedia. eBillMe is unique in its operation. I first found out about it when using a site that offered it and I came to wikipedia hoping to find more information. I admit the initial article was not ideal, but my hope was that it would just be a start and eventually an article up to wikipedia's standards would be developed. --Backfromquadrangle (talk) 15:54, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. An online business that contains no references and no showing of importance. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: The article should be improved. As of today this company has 70 hits on ProQuest Newspapers, 68 on InfoTrac OneFile (Gale), and 9,630,000 hits on Google; it is currently involved in an intellectual property case in the U.S.(Civil Action No. 1:08-cv-00897-CCB) with another company we have an article for Billmelater.com (ProQuest: 42,Infotrac: 4); and we have yet another article for at least one similar service, eWise (ProQuest:32,InfoTrac:10). There certainly should be enough Wikipedia:RS to prove NP:Notability.

Maybe the article on the surname should remain, but I'm not even sure of that. The list of names appears non-notable. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I deleted persons without notability potential. - 7-bubёn >t 22:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Query - could someone direct me to WP guidance on surnames as entries? J L G 4 1 0 4 04:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The etymology, translations, pronunciations, and so forth of a noun, proper or common, can be handled at Wiktionary. Surname articles are essentially name disambiguations. People are often commonly known, or referred to, by solely their family names. Therefore surname articles disambiguate amongst all of the people with that surname, and link to Wiktionary with {{wiktionary}}, or even explicitly in the introduction, for the dictionary entry on the proper noun. See Busch, for example. Uncle G (talk) 04:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this should be a disambig page, but I'm still new and not sure how to do that.

Non notable youth league. Not fully professional. No sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:V Nouse4aname (talk) 13:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: The Blues are a major club so I feel this article is notable although there is a lack of encyclopaedic information. It just needs to be expanded. Welshleprechaun (talk) 16:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. This has nothing to do with the Blues, it just refers to a league consisting of youth teams in their region. Note that notability is not inherited and that youth teams are not fully professional and thus do not generally satisfy notability criteria. Nouse4aname (talk) 16:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is this a very short article with little context, it also fails WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. Moreover, the only Google hits I could find lead to YouTube, message boards, and unsourced wikis. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 16:17, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Malcolm Hooper (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Malcolm Hooper does not have the notability by WP:PROF, he is retired professor without notable accomplishment in biochemistry. There is a few Malcolm Hoopers in Google News like a cricket player and a member of fascist party from 1930s. This Malcolm Hooper is most known as lay activist for chronic fatigue syndrome but there is not reliable sources and he is not a recognized expert. I do not find sources about him, but some do mention him but I do not think it is significant. RetroS1mone talk 03:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. —John Z (talk) 05:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Looks like a typical minor academic with emeritus syndrome, but he got significant mention in the press for his campaigning. Apart from the Guardian piece currently cited in the article, there's also another Guardian article on his feud with Wessely and a briefer mention here in a Guardian article on Gulf War Syndrome. That's just the first two mentions in a minute's searching. N p holmes (talk) 11:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- note, Hoooper does not have notability in WP:PROF, he can have notability in general bio guidelines. "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject" The guardian piece in the article is primary, by Hoooper it is not about Hooper so not independent. The articles N p holmes says about are primary sources. Do you get notability by your name mentioned in a few primary sources, i do not know but i do not think so, "Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject". RetroS1mone talk 13:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There seems to be some confusion here: the articles I am citing here are what most people would call secondary sources. The first at least is not just a mention – it discusses Hooper at length. N p holmes (talk) 09:25, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep Just looking at the career as a medicinal chemist, based on Web of Science I find 31 peer-reviewed papers on chemistry,in good journals, highest citations 20, 18, 17. This is a minor career, mostly from the days when it was Sunderland Polytechnic, and probably would not have gotten him a professorship today at Sutherland.

- Jennifer Government: NationStates (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
This game has no assertion of notability, and, as the article stands right now, it doesn't appear to meet the notability standards. If you look at the references, they're all simply from the website, therefore, they don't meet the standards of WP:ReliableSources. EDIT: I see that it was kept last time, but there are still no reliable sources or claims to notability. If it's kept, the article needs verifiable references. hmwithτ 03:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Los Angeles City Attorney Election, 2009 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Subtle, yet blatant attempt by a Weiss staffer to get his name out there to voters ahead of the rest of the pack. In that sense, especially since it was obviously created by someone affiliated with Weiss, this violates WP:ADS. Actually, this article should be speedy deleted under CSD G11. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 02:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Poorly written, fails WP:ADS. Willydick (talk) 02:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Creator of this article added Jack Weiss' campaign web site as an external link to Los Angeles City Attorney, even though he is not the current City Attorney. IMHO, this is clear evidence that the creator is working on behalf of Weiss' campaign to promote his candidacy. FYI: I reverted that edit on the article. Also, I have no axe to grind against Weiss, nor am I a resident of the City of Los Angeles, so I can't even vote in the election, so this is not based on anything other than Wikipedia's policies. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 02:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Uncertain i am not sure whether this special election to a local office is notable--it is a significant office in a major city, as municipal offices go. As for the spam, I dealt with it by editing. Fortunately, there's a reliable NPOV reference. DGG (talk) 04:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Considering that no one is talking about that election here in the LA area yet (media, buzz around the street), I'd say it's not notable yet. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 21:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. This an election taking place this year - as opposed to other elections for which we have articles that are years away (e.g. United States presidential election, 2012; United States presidential election, 2016). The election is going to happen and the article cites only candidates who have already declared, so there's no problem with WP:CRYSTAL. NPOV problems can be dealt with by editing. The only issue that's left is whether this election is itself notable, and given that it's an election (as just mentioned) this year, I lean slightly towards retention. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 21:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep LA is bigger than some countries, so though this would not be a significant level election in almost any other city, it is probably significant enough to be included in a not-paper encyclopedia. Spammy content removed. Sourcing available. Not a matter of "not notable yet." The import of the office makes it notable. Query, I thought Gmatsuda was not in LA? Anyway, anyone concerned with this being used as an election campaign tool should keep an I on it. Or give me a ding, and I'll have a look at it. Dlohcierekim 04:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I am in the LA area, but do not live in the City of Los Angeles, so I am not eligible to vote in this election. Don't even know anything about any of the candidates, nor do I care. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 05:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep - It's an election occuring this year for a key politcal office in a major city. There may not be much to say about it yet, but at some point this election will warrant an article, the only question seems to be when, and since there is already information, albeit scanty, from a reliable source, it seems like now is appropriate.Rlendog (talk) 14:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable character in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Was a corrupt judge who only made three appearances on the show--not enough to make him a minor or recurring character in my opinion. No third party sources, no reason to believe he's any more notable than any other murderer from any other episode. Redfarmer (talk) 02:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, and then consider whether to Merge or Redirect into a suitable article or list of minor characters. Such should be the default way to deal with these, and it does not take AfD. DGG (talk) 04:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I would agree were this a minor character but three appearances total on a show, two of which were simply minor appearances as a judge, that has been on the air for nine years hardly constitutes including on such a list. As you can see from my edit history, I've been redirecting and tagging such articles tonight and I simply do not feel that this character even warrants being included in a minor characters list in the grand scheme of things. He's not one of the notable arc-long murderers so there is nothing to distinguish him from any other murderer in any other episode of CSI. Redfarmer (talk) 05:16, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge and Redirect Not enough for an article. Lacks real world significance, but might help flesh out a minor character list. Dlohcierekim 04:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Minor characters in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Let that article discuss the level of detail. Probably won't be more than a sentence or two but that's all the in-world information that's necessary. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or merge to Minor characters in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. This particular character was one of the few criminals to appear in multiple episodes and his appearance in the first one was significant to the development of the show. Calling him a minor character really isn't accurate. Also, the idea that a character needs real world significance to be included at all (whether separate article or in a list) would leave significant holes in coverage on fiction. It is verifiability that should be key. If there's a lack of sources describing the character, then he can be merged in the list (actor information and number of appearances with a shortened plot summary). That solution would be in line with policy and not require deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 10:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete as spam. AlexTiefling (talk) 13:05, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is Phaser901, the original author of the Wikipedia article in question. It most certainly is not "blatant spam". The article is intended as information and summary on a significant 911 conspiracy-related documentary. Please detail to me how I should move this article from "spam-grade" to acceptable? What sentences in particular are problematic? I have outlined the subjects discussed in the film. They can easily be confirmed by watching the content of the film. Also note that it is not a Google Video release, the primary dissemination is through the official website. This is similar to other popular Internet releases such as Zeitgeist; GV just happens to be popular for viewing. Also it is not "non-notable" as it discusses topics both inside and outside the scope of current 9/11 conspiracy research. There is little "retreading on old ground" as is found on many Loose-Change like releases. Phaser501 (talk)
- Withholding keep or delete opinion, as the author has asked a very cogent question and shows a desire to improve the article to meet wiki standards. At the very least, the closing admin should seriously consider WP:USERFYing the article back to its author in the event of a delete being upheld. To the author, I strongly suggest finding and showing sources that show notability... that is, reviews or commmentary about the film from sources not related to the subject... and not from blogs. Bring in reviews from major sites, either positive or negative to show real-world interest in the film itself. Feel free to ask for my input, as I am not familiar with the film, but am so on what Wiki expects for an article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have been unable to find any reliable reference to it either on the internet or in any of my reference books and the article itself provides dubious references at best.

- Comment The DeLisle Commando Carbine is a completely separate gun for which a number of reputable print, web, and photographic references exist. The SDK Carbine is, as far as I can tell, fictional, or, at very best, a prototype. Given the intense interest in WWII German firearms in the US (and elsewhere), I would expect there to be at least as much information on the SDK Carbine as there is on the DeLisle. The fact that a Google search turns up nothing of note, and that none of my reference books mention the SDK Carbine, I can confidently say that it's got nothing to do with the DeLisle Commando Carbine and it probably didn't exist in the first place. In short, there's nothing to merge, IMHO. Commander Zulu (talk) 11:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing in Small Arms of the World, nothing in any of Ian V. Hogg's books, nothing in A.E. Hartink's various books on guns, nothing in any of the myriad other gun books (ranging from Serious And Respected Academic Reference Works to Glossy Colour Coffee Table Books) that I have access to. In short, there are no reliable references to this gun existing, and even if it did exist, there's still no reliable references to back anything in the article up at all.

HitlerHistory Channel has been running various shows on pretty much every aspect of WWII for years, and I don't recall ever seeing them mention it (and they seem to make shows on even less notable WWII topics, IMHO). The SDK Carbine is just such an odd and unusual German WWII gun that I'm staggered no-one has mentioned it in print or TV documentary for over 30 years.

- My instinct here was for delete, all Icould find was the same person posting it to various forums. However, on one of the forums one of the gun nuts recognises it and identifies it as being from Waffen Revue Nr. 20, 1976 publication. He also suggests it was in some US magazines of the 60s and 70s. Might be worth checking out the paper sources. Also apparantly in Saga magazine April 1970 (Both sources are listed in the article). The gun itself may be a hoax, the article is not.

- Lingolook (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
In my vision, it appears to be a non-notable product. The article was previously deleted as spam; Google brings up over 800 results of "Lingolook Flashcards". I didn't see any news articles about this product, or any source that makes this article pass inclusion. I wasn't sure if this was actually notable enough, so I'm taking this to AfD. SF3 (talk!) 03:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Seems notable to me. The idea of producing a phrase book as flashcards seems to have attracted some attention, and the translation of this to an iPhone app some more still. Useful sources: [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]. Yes, a couple of those sources call themselves blogs, but they are professionally edited blogs (i.e., magazine sites posing as blogs because blogs are more trendy these days), and so can be considered reliable sources.

We know of this game solely through a nearly three year old patent of a title. Nothing more. Naughty Dog has not released any posters of the game, and certainly not through Jak 3 concept art. What this article refers to is known as fan art. Fake trailers aren't proof either. They're, unfortunately for the cause, fake, and certainly have no business being on Wikipedia.

Man with gun arrested; news articles don't even mention assassination. Minor news item for the day, no lasting coverage, fails WP:BIO1E, WP:NOTNEWS. Only an incidental relation to West Baltimore (MARC station), so merge is not appropriate. Contested prod. Jfire (talk) 21:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Redirect: I know nom says merge is inappropriate. But the West Baltimore (MARC station) article already contains the info, thereby making a change to a redirect as the right thing to do. I had created this title only as a redirect on that day, but someone later changed this into an article of its own. Though over time importance seems little, on the day of the incident, this was the main news, and was described on the televised news as a "presidential assassination attempt," giving it the perceived importance as a major event. Sebwite (talk) 21:46, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- But with the passage of time, it became clear that this was simply a man with a gun who got arrested. There was no assassination plot, there was no "proclamation" as West Baltimore (MARC station) currently claims without source (a WP:BLP violation). It was just an arrest which happened to occur at the station. Arrests happen every day in thousands of locations; we don't mention every one in the articles on their locations. Jfire (talk) 22:20, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If you watched the televised local news that day (which I did), they portrayed it as an assassination attempt. They also described that trains on the line were stopped as a result of this incident, and interviewed the cab driver involved and other witnesses who stood on the platform and called 911.

- Merge/Redirect to West Baltimore (MARC station). This is where the event involving him occurred, and really the only suitable article. While this is a single event involving the subject, it received widespread televised news coverage on the day it occurred, as it was considered to be a possible assassination plot, and trains were stopped as a result. Also note that this title was originally created only as a redirect to West Baltimore (MARC station). My original intent was to keep it that way unless a fair amount of more information came in the media, and that never occurred. Sebwite (talk) 02:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- This was not an assassination attempt. Please review the sources. None of the news reports cited claim it was an assassination attempt, and if there were any that did on the day of the event (I can't actually find any online), they were quite simply mistaken.

- Those don't do it for me. The second is just a quote from and link to an article on the site itself, and the first, while providing some minimal coverage, is oriented more as a biography of Nick Sousanis. It notes that the site "gets a couple of hundred visits a day". Overall, short of WP:WEBs guideline: "subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". Jfire (talk) 05:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand where you're coming from. But unlike promotional website articles that get added daily, I think this one documents a worthy site in a non-spammy way. Too bad there aren't better sources available. Also, the "couple hundred visits a day" was from a few years ago-- presumably it has increased.

Deleted once as copyvio, this version is a directory entry with no formal assertion of notability and no independent sources. Guy (Help!) 21:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I don't have time to go through the 743 Google News hits at the moment (particularly as Italian is about my eighth language), but there's a good chance that there's enough there to establish notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Subject of lengthy article in BusinessWeek and extensive coverage in Italian press (e.g. [28], [29], [30]). Gr1st (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep That article just mentioned is enough by itself, and certainly is supplemented by the other material found. given the ease at finding material at Google news, it was careless to nominate this without looking. We really ought to require such searches for all afds where notability is in question,.DGG (talk) 19:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Brazilian Cuisine which has relevant sections. While it doesn't seem wildly notable, a handful of Google hits verify its existence [31]. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Change to delete - I was thinking "no harm done", but re-Googling in the light of ArchonMagnus's comment, considering the possibility of misspelling, it looks majorly non-notable in its lack of mention even in Brazilian sources. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 20:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I don't think this is notable enough and (at present) shouldn't be included in WP. I may reconsider should there be a significant increase in the article content relaying any sense of notability. Per Gordon's comment: while Google hits relay a bit of information, they alone cannot be used to establish notability. —Archon Magnus(Talk | Home) 19:57, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
