Hard Labor (Juvenile album)

None of the given sources confirms that the upcoming album will be titled Hard Labor, and there's not enough evidence even to assert that Juvenile is even planning an album at this time. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 23:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of State Routes in New York. MBisanz ^talk 22:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of minor state routes in New York

This list was created in September 2007 in an attempt to merge together articles that were complete in terms of article content but were of short length. In recent months, however, consensus at both the New York State Routes and the U.S. Roads WikiProjects is that these lists should not be created if there is no common, defined property. An attempt to make one for this list was performed; however, at the end of the day it was still arbitrary. Thus, the list has been disbanded and the articles have been restored, and there is no longer a use for this list. – T M F 23:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the inclusion criteria are subjective. However, wouldn't proposed deletion be a better way as I don't believe this is controversial. --Polaron | Talk 16:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- In hindsight, probably. =) However, at least this way the list will have a detailed log of why it was deleted and explain why new ones in other states should not be made, helping to create precedent. – T M F 19:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Redirect or create a new Route 412 article. Bearian (talk) 21:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's already been done; see New York State Route 412. The reason it was never removed from the list is that there isn't much of a point to doing so as the list will likely be deleted anyway. – T M F 21:55, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of State Routes in New York. If this content of this list was split up into separate articles, then we should be preserving the edit history for attribution purposes under the GFDL. The most sensible redirect target is where these routes are currently listed. DHowell (talk) 02:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. References indicate that he's been the subject of significant press coverage. He's got enough small claims to notability (acting credits, published music, subject of a documentary, TV personality) that they add up to being notable. Apparently he's also suing Sarah Palin over Juneteenth, but there's nothing about that in the article. Pburka (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ruth Leonard

Article about a character in John Updike's Rabbit, Run. It has a merge tag on it since June 2008 and all the info (which there is not much of) is already in the main article. It is not to be expected that the article will be expanded in the future. Ruth Leonard is certainly not notable outside the context of the book. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 23:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily redirect. We can't delete an article after it's been merged, so this AFD is procedurally invalid. Pburka (talk) 00:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article has not actually been merged. It is rather a content fork, since a version of Rabbit, Run created before Ruth Leonard had exactly the same to say about her. But I guess a redirect would be okay. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 01:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't see a rationale for the notability of Ruth Leonard, especially because of the lack of references in the article and the absence of articles for the series' other principal characters. I don't see much worth in making Ruth Leonard a notable article, either, since anything that can be said about her could be said in the Rabbit, Run et al. articles. Grunge6910 (talk) 02:02, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect per basically every policy and guideline on fiction. – sgeureka ^t•c 15:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
keep. There is currently no policy or guideline on fiction, except that the overall coverage of a fictional work in wikipedia should include more than the plot. The article is only a stub, but there is no reason to delete it. We do not delete stubs, and that's the relevant policy. A major character in a major fiction will be discussed in the criticism. His recent death should bring some more attention here, and the importance of his works can be expected to grow. An That the other characters don't have articles is one of the classic irrelevant arguments. Of course they should, but we have to start somewhere. I find it disturbing that after the almost-agreement of guidelines was disrupted, people now start claiming that we have them, and that they are what they would have liked them to be. There was no agreement precisely because the discussion was not turning out as some of the more extreme people wanted it to be. DGG (talk) 02:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment while there may be no policy on fiction, it is difficult to see how this article could develop without becoming a (possibly Ruth-centred) synopsis of the novel she appears in. There is information here that is not currently in Rabbit, Run but not much, maybe a couple of sentences. There is a merge discussion underway and I think that is the way to go. pablo_hablo. 22:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

apparently this is your personal view for the article, but I do not see why it should inhibit anyone else from developing the article in whatever way the sources prove to indicate. The discussion of the motivation and relationships of characters is one of the basic methods of literary analysis,and to call it all plot is perhaps a little reductionist. DGG (talk) 07:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whose view should it be? I don't want to 'inhibit' anyone from editing the article (or Rabbit, Run, or any other article) in any way they see fit. pablo_hablo. 09:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a pivotal character in an important work by a major author. I realise that this looks like a whole lot of inherited notability, but the article as it is is a valid literature stub; if expanded, it will improve. If not, it provides information and links to relevant pages for the reader's further investigation. pablo_hablo. 19:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strømsfoss sluse

Short article on a series of locks, lacks notability, unreferenced. Prod was 2nd'd but removed by article creator. Taking to AFD RadioFan (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The original author created Strømsfoss sluse, Ørje sluser, and Brekke sluser. Each is one part of a series of locks in Norway. I combined them into one article, Indre Østfold Canal Locks, which makes an (unreferenced) claim to notability. Incidentally, I was going to AfD the article, since I wasn't able to find a reference for the claim that it's Europe's highest canal locks, but RadioFan beat me to it. If this is deleted, the other two redirects should also be deleted. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 22:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. No asserted notability. The creator has just removed an AfD tag. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:16, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The creator did more than remove the AfD tag. They reverted to the original version of the article. I just restored the combined version with the assertion of notability. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 04:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the Halden Canal which is the waterway these locks are located on. The locks are covered here and the content is valid, but individual locks, even those on the Panama Canal, don't seem to have separate articles. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. What am I missing here? Genius101 has identified two journalistic sources that appear to meet criterion #1 in WP:WEB. I can see where the apparently limited coverage might not satisfy our intuitive idea of notability, but that's cause to gather consensus to modify WP:WEB, not to simply ignore it and delete the article in spite of the guideline. The fact that the web site itself is in Arabic doesn't mean that it has no interest for an English-language encyclopedia; indeed WP:NONENG clearly suggests that the article would be acceptable here even if all of the sources were in Arabic, too, and none in English. Of course, two actions are needed: (a) cleanupcleanupcleanup and (b) creation of a companion article in the Arabic Wikipedia if one isn't there already. Ipoellet (talk) 00:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep This is a Microsoft project, not a free-lance effort. There are two excellent sources in English for it, given above. I havent looked for others, though there probably will be, because that's enough to start with. Articles about notable websites, in Arabic, or any other language, if they are written in English, belong in the English WP. Additionally, if someone cares to translate the article into Arabic, or write one from scratch there, it should of course go in that wp also.. Ditto for other Wikipedias, if they have similar notability rules & someone there wants to do it. the enWp is the WP with the articles written in English. That's the only English-language restriction about it. DGG (talk) 04:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The issue of sourcing appears to be adequate adressed by the Phil Bridger and T L Miles. The only opinion supporting the nomination relies on Google hit counting to determine notability, which is a poor measure for non-English subjects. Since the "keep"s are both in a majority, and have more persuasive arguments regarding sourcing, I'm closing this a a keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ali Mirzaei

Non-notable chairman of a sports club (not a league, but a team in a league), was chair for one year, no sources on him the individual, notability not by association. MBisanz ^talk 22:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nobody would dream of nominating a chairman/president of a team in the NFL or the Premier League for deletion. There are online sources in English that confirm the subject's position, so verifiabilty isn't an issue, and I can't believe that there wouldn't be plenty of coverage in Persian language sources about the chairman of a club in the top league of Iran's most popular sport. Notability isn't a matter of what sources can be found online in English, which is why we have specific guidelines for people such as politicians and athletes that say that we can assume that sources will be available for certain classes of subject. It would be assumed that any player for the club of which this man was chairman has been covered by reliable sources, and common sense would suggest that the same should apply to the subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 00:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATHLETE exists because it is presumed that an athlete is famous, having a following of fans, box scores in newspapers, etc, the same cannot be assumed about the head of the company that employs them, because that is a different class of employment that does not bring the inherent public exposure. It would be the same thing as saying that the CEOs of all 3,000 companies on the NYSE are notable because their companies are notable. Or that the members of the board of directors of the company that owns a sports team are notable because the sports team is notable.

Also, the current source establishes he exists, it is an article about the team withdrawing from the Professional League. It does not provide his notability. Just because a topic is mainly documented in a foreign language does not mean we can throw out WP:RS or WP:BIO. MBisanz ^talk 00:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give an idea of how much media coverage top-division football club chairmen get I've checked what Google News shows for the chairmen of the clubs currently lying bottom (thus avoiding the superstars) of the top division in an anglophone country smaller than Iran. "Jeremy Peace"+("West Bromwich" OR "West Brom") gets 1970 hits; "Steve Gibson"+Middlesbrough gets 4160; "Mike Ashley"+"Newcastle United" 5130; "John Williams"+"Blackburn Rovers" only has a meagre 1590 hits; "Peter Coates"+"Stoke City" is the runt of the litter with 286; and "Peter Storrie"+Portsmouth gets a respectable 2790. Isn't it reasonable to assume that someone in such a position in Iran will get similar coverage? The fact that the article subject was chairman is verified, which is what needs to be shown beyond doubt, and even if he gets only 10% of the coverage that English chairmen get (but there's no more reason to think that than that he gets 1000%), there will be plenty of reliable sources available to show notability, which is a guideline based on balance of probabilities rather than the absolute proof demanded by verifiability policy. I'm rather tempted to mention how notable the life president of the club that I support and live within shouting distance of is, but I think I heard somewhere that he may have some separate claim to notability.

Delete. Several points to consider here. There are 80 Google search results for this person while filtering out Wikipedia and its clones. Only 6 of those search results are even possibly connected to his former position with the sports club. With only 2 search results in Google news, there is a pittance of news coverage for this individual. Even when searching for all occurrences of the Ali Mirzaei in Farsi (علی میرزایی) along with the name of the club he was in charge of (باشگاه فرهنگی ورزشی پرسپولیس تهران), there are only 4 results. In the end, if we don't have sources we can't cover it--and since he's not currently holding the position then it's even less likely that he'll ever be notable. ←Spidern → 13:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I very much doubt if people writing about this club would usually refer to it by the fully-blown Persepolis Athletic and Cultural Club - in English it usually seems to be simply referred to as Persepolis, so I tried a Google search for the subject's name with "پرسپولیس" and got several hundred hits. As a non-Farsi reader I can't make any sense of anything in those results, but it would be good if someone who knows the language could look through them before we decide on deletion. I really can't believe that sources wouldn't exist on the chairman (even for a short period) of one of Iran's two most popular football teams [3] that attracts crowds of up to 90,000 [4] to its matches. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Just look at the results of searching current chairman, Abbas Ansarifard. (also his previous, Dariush Mostafavi) Now, Persian Language webs are much stronger than 2001-2002, when Ali Mirzaei held the post. Therefore, Iranian football medias are too weak in past events statistics. Ettela'at Newspaper has used the information I put about the club's chairmen history fawiki. Amirreza ^talk 19:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a deletion debate about the any other chiefs, previous or current, nor is it about the club itself. The question remains: how many reliable sources can you find that report on Ali Mirzaei? We can't write an encyclopedia article without sources. ←Spidern → 22:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean what you understood. anyway, I can find some reliable sources. Amirreza ^talk 15:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Hamshahri enough? Amirreza ^talk 16:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are now two reliable references for this stub. The fact, perhaps unknown to others here, that Persopolis is the biggest club in a huge, obseesively football mad nation, makes the likelyhood that the chairman has recieved extensive press coverage %100. Even if you can't read farsi -- and assuming the references we do have establish he was chair of this club -- he's notable. It's like saying, because you can't read English, that a recent chair of Man U can't be proven to you to be notable. Perhaps it is outside the US experience, but these people are in the press every day, to a MUCH greater extent than a US sports franchise owner is, even more than someone like Stienbrenner is here in New York.

Alientology

The article describes itself as about a "neologism". Whether we're talking about the term for the proto-religion or the movement itself, neither of them demonstrate their significance through multiple, independent reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 21:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Protologism seeking credibility. "Alientology is not a religion yet, but that is our goal." Maybe later once there's more RS. Gigs (talk) 21:58, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was wondering myself what to do with this -- as Gigs says, it may be notable at some time, but not yet. And as it calls itself an article about a 'neologism'.... Dougweller (talk) 22:08, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Anything that calls itself a neologism is likely problematic, and the lack of sources dooms this to destruction. And "not a religion yet"? There's no minimum size for a religion; the very idea that they hope to have a religion spring from these beliefs makes it sound notoriously non-serious. Nyttend (talk) 22:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just because an article refers to itself as a neologism doesn't mean that it warrants deletion as a neologism. The guidelines on WP:Neologism establish this. Some neologisms (in the sense of the common usage of the word) are notable enough to have articles. In this case, I do find a New York Times article that references the term Alientology: [5]. But I do not think this particular article is notable because I barely find any sources--and the coverage in that source I gave is rather trivial. I say Delete but I want to caution users that I do not agree with all the reasoning/arguments presented above. I agree with the reasoning that there aren't good sources--as many people have pointed out. Cazort (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The fact that there are zero Google Books hits suggests that whatever this concept is, it has not been established under this particular name yet.

What Gets Me Hot!

Porn movie who's only notability is from the fact that it was Traci Lords's first film. Basically, a trivia point. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but needs cleanup. That it was her first film is not so special. That she was underage at the time and the fact that this movie is (I assume) illegal in the states makes it more than a trivia point. Garion96 (talk) 21:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am finding some reliable sources on this, which is rather unusual for porn-related articles: [6], [7]. I agree about the circumstances of her being underage making this an interesting topic. Cazort (talk) 22:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. —PC78 (talk) 11:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment is there actually any reliable source to support the claim that this was her first film and that it was, in fact, illegal in the states? Right now the article is completely unreferenced (and the porn IMDB equivalent doesn't count). If these claims to notability can not be verified, then should be deleted. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:36, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The two sources I gave do establish this. Cazort (talk) 20:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at both, neither says it was her first film, and from what I'm reading, it appears a lot of porn films were caught in a "crack down" not just this one. Neither source also clearly indicates if this happened before or after the film's released, but they read like this happened after the fact, which wouldn't really confer any notability here, but be a statement on the porn industry in general. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's the way I saw it. Is every movie she did while underaged and subsequently illegal now notable? That seems silly. If there was an article about what happened when they found out (or just a list of what movies had to be pulled), that would make sense, but at this point, the entire notability is based on that one fact which makes it seem like the equivalent of WP:BLP1E. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Unfortunately neither of the two sources Cazort provides does meet my expectations of a notable discussion of the movie; rather they are incidental mentions that this was one of several pornos she appeared in as a minor. However, since I would expect the first porno she appeared in was a significant event in Traci Lords's life (okay, if I appeared in even just one porn movie it would not only be memorable, but have a distinct effect on my later life -- & no, I won't explain), & Traci Lords is a notable person, something should be written about it. (I'm thinking along the lines of its production, how Lords was brought into it, how it affected her, etc.) But if the information is not available in a form that can be added to WP, then it's going to get deleted. -- llywrch (talk) 21:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While the first porno she appeared in was a significant even in her life, notability isn't inherited and it looks like it was just a generic porno, except for the fact that its lead star was underage at the time and so it's now illegal. It's the same issue with Those Young Girls, Talk Dirty To Me Part III, Sister Dearest and Kinky Business among others (that last one's really a stretch since just one scene had her and they just removed it to release the film). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your insistence that "notability isn't inherited" only works so far. My point is that it derives notability from her only if it can be related to her life. (In the same way how PT-109 is notable due to president John F. Kennedy: there wouldn't be an article about it because the average WWII patrol boat is, arguably, not notable.) At the moment the article does not explain how the porno flick relates to her life, & I'm not confident that the material exists that would allow someone to do exactly that -- which is why I'm voting "Weak delete". Now stop arguing with me because I largely agree with you or I'll change my vote to "weak keep", so we can have something to argue about. ;) -- llywrch (talk) 05:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I want to point out that because of the clandestine nature of porn in our society, a notable porn film, actor, or any topic related to porn, is not going to attract the same sort of attention from mainstream media outlets as an equally notable actor, movie, or topic relating to other film. I know not every editor agrees with me, but I am of the belief that, when it comes to porn, anything that meets WP:Verifiability is above and beyond the standards of WP:Notability. It sounds like the discussion above, however, has raised some doubts about verifiability of some of the text on this page--I would say that if we can't verify that this was her first film, we should edit the page to remove these assertions. But...my belief that this film is notable still stands. Cazort (talk) 15:02, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- This is the exact point I am wrestling with: what makes a porn movie notable? I took a look at the relevant WikiProject pages, & failed to find any discussion of the matter. (Maybe it exists, but I couldn't find it.) Pornography is, generally speaking, an ephemeral medium, quickly & cheaply produced, released with scant attention beyond its target audience -- & forgotten. I'll freely admit some of it is worth an encyclopedia entry (Deep Throat immediately comes to mind), but the largest portion of it is of less interest to anyone than 30-year-old utility bills. If someone can put a given porno movie into some context -- how this one fit into Lord's life, for example -- then notability is proven. (But after having a peak at her autobiography over at Amazon, I'm not convinced that the reliable material is there for a Wikipedia editor to do this.) -- llywrch (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd say porn should still be held to the same standards as all other topics: if it has received significant coverage in reliable, third party sources, its notable. If not, its just like most straight to DVD releases or every Harlequin novel ever released - not notable enough for a article beyond the general topic of porn, romance novel, etc. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Skinflicks: The Inside Story of the X-Rated Video Industry verifies that she "lost her 'screen cherry'" with Tom Byron in this movie. And the Encyclopedia of Television Subjects, Themes and Settings says, "Fifteen-and-a-half-year old Traci Lords (born on May 7, 1968) made her first adult film (What Gets Me Hot) in early 1984. In total she made 100 Triple X films, 99 of which are illegal...her only legal film is 1987's Traci, I Love You..." DHowell (talk) 02:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being a major performer's first film is notability, even though the film may be trivial otherwise.DGG (talk) 07:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Right now something less than 20% of the article is about it being her first porno; 80% is about what happens, viz. who does what to whom. If there's little hope of writing more than a list of "who does what to whom", then this -- & the rest of her films -- should be rolled into a list article. It's not a question of notability, but of appropriate emphasis. -- llywrch (talk) 18:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.

Mitochondrial Eve in popular culture

Merge back into parent article from whence it came. Article contains a list of two examples, which is not reason enough for it to have been split from the parent article - even if it had been a source of contention amongst editors there. Khalfani Khaldun 19:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is agreement on the article to split, in line with WP:Handling trivia and Wikipedia:"In popular culture" articles. Wapondaponda (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: While most of the other editors of Mitochondrial Eve have remained silent (which I understand you may take to be agreement), as a user who does not regularly edit that article I have brought the split to AfD because this is a case that I believe should be looked at by editors who aren't tied heavily to personal opinions about the parent article. I believe we are going to find that a wider group of editors believes that splitting the content off to get it away from opposing editors is not a proper way to deal with a debate, and from WP:CONSENSUS: "Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale." Khalfani Khaldun 22:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An example is Osama bin Laden in popular culture which is separate from the main article. I think this is a win-win situation because there are a number of editors who are against a pop culture section in the article Mitochondrial Eve. There was some edit warring over the issue, which has since ended with the creation of the popular culture article.

The precedent is inconsistent at best, and dependent on who shows up to a given AfD. You've cherry-picked an AfD that was dominated by "anti-IPC" respondents; the same AfD could be run today and it would probably be "no consensus". Further, WP:TRIVIA (and its companion template {{trivia}}) does not advocate the deletion of pop culture information on the basis that it is "trivia".

The result was redirect to Audrey Joseph. There is a consensus that the material is not worthy of an individual article, but it seems an obvious search term, and some material from this article would be usable in the other, were their not the risk of copyvio. Were it not for the copyvio, I'd simply redirect to Audrey Joseph, and leave the history intact.

Club Universe

Unsourced and promotional in tone (for its owners, who have moved on to other ventures), this defunct nightclub has only 1,300 ghits, and no independent coverage that would even allow it to approach passing the GNGs. I'm sure its patrons had fun there and miss it, but it did not achieve wide acclaim, fame or infamy that would establish notability or generate the type of secondary coverage that would allow for independent verification of its claims.

Keep or merge. This, disappointingly, is a rather cynical and somewhat bad faith take on the subject. I certainly am not familiar with all the gay discos worldwide but this was amongst the largest and longest running and the king of gay clubs for as long as it was open. The name of the venue is 177 Townsend (capacity 1200+) and the back of the block building was 174 King st (capacity 400-600). The two venues were run by Audrey Joseph, another article at AfD ~~via the nominator~~. In part this subject will be covered only so much by regular google hits because of wp:CSB and the timing of it's existence. Its reprisal events are somewhat covered but frankly they don't shoot for media coverage as much as buy fullpage ads in LGBT publications advertising which celebrity was going to perform that weekend. Club Universe was the main Saturday night club, Pleasuredome was the main Sunday night with Latino club Futurama in the 174 King space. The only reason the clubs don't exist anymore is because the lease was only for 15 years and the building was torn down as the property was worth much much more due to the neighborhood gentrification. While in business these were the leading clubs of the city and likely the largest gay clubs in the United States west of Texas/Chicago - which I believe also have mega clubs. If we had articles devoted to the venue this should be merged there; as we don't, as of yet, merge to Audrey Joseph article as she ran the venue and club. -- Banjeboi 18:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nom's statement includes - Fans of this club are welcome to host a memorial site elsewhere, but wikipedia is not the place for it.

Stephen Porter (director)

Does not meet the requirements set in Wikipedia:Notability (people). More specifically, under the guidelines in Creative Professionals, the subject is not widely cited by peers or successors, the subject did not create a new concept, etc., the subject's works have not been covered in enough independent sources to warrant notability, the subject's work is not (a) a significant monument (unless award nominations count in this category), (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has not received enough "critical attention," or (d) "represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. If more reliable, independent sources can be presented in this discussion reconsideration is in order, but my current research has not turned up enough reliable material besides database references to this particular "Stephen Porter's" award nominations and bio. Spring12 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep. Tony Award nominations are significant in terms of establishing points (b) and (c). A production nominated for a major award establishes that the creative work is "a significant exhibition" (in this case a theatrical exhibition) and that the production and those involved with it are certain to have been reviewed by major newspapers, etc. As the director of multiple notable productions Porter is a notable director. Further Porter himself has been personally Tony Award nominated for "Best Director" which clearly establishes notability. This is really not a well thought out AFD nomination. The solution on the part of the nominator should have been to either tag the article as unreferenced or to have gone out found references. Nrswanson (talk) 17:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Serbia–Venezuela relations

Amazingly, not an article from Plumoyr or his sockpuppet Groubani. It still doesn't matter, though, this is a non notable relationship between two countries without representation in the other country (Venezuela's is in Bulgaria, and Serbia's in Brazil). Other than that, the article consists of Venezuela's decision not to recognise Kosovo's independence. I highly doubt that not recognising someone's independence makes a relationship notable - especially, as I've already stated, between two countries that aren't represented in the other country.

  - You still haven't addressed why you feel that bilateral relations should be held to a much higher standard for inclusion than any other type of article. Redicule is also not an effective argument (though since you have no meaningful arguments at all, I suppose you need to go with what you have). Not sure what happened on the first one, I may go back andfigure out what I meant to link to. WilyD 16:30, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Students don't work for their government; they have no official capacity; they were little more than tourists. So yes, claiming that as a basis for notability in this relationship should be subject to mild ridicule. - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:59, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - I sympathise with the difficulty in making good arguments to delete notable articles, leaving you with nothing but misdirection and ad hominems. Bilateral relations do consist of a lot more than just the official dealings at the federal level. Public opinion, acts of private citizens, whatever, all impact the relationship between the two countries (as noted by professional information providers) Wily D 18:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a leap of logic bordering on a WP:SYNTH breach. Just because four politically-motivated tourists (with whom, by the way, I have total sympathy) spent a few days in Belgrade does not constitute evidence of a significant relationship, unless so presented in an overview of Serbian-Venezuelan relations (which of course doesn't exist, since reliable, scholarly sources don't consider this a notable relationship). - Biruitorul ^Talk 18:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The three lone facts in this article (date of establishment and location of embassies) can be more than adequately covered in the "Foreign Relations of" articles listed in the "See also" section. Any major diplomatic incidents between the two countries would be more appropriate for history articles for each nation.

Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

KEEP/MOVE/MERGE: I spent some time tracking this down... Burswood is a chinese made guitar brand, they produce low-cost guitars & their most notable product, at least in north american terms, is probably the guitar model they produce for this guy: Esteban's infomercials. the mention of those infomercials should probably be expanded within his bio-article, as they are a significant part of his fame/notability. something about burswood should be mentioned there, as they produce the guitars. not quite sure if burswood should have an article page of their own or not, but they should be mentioned in lists of guitar manufacturers, products, etc.; info about them is relevant to somebody studying guitar manufacturers/makes/brands, models, etc. since the user list only has 2 names in it, perhaps we could find someplace to tuck it in, rather than simply erase? if nothing else, please cc it to my usersection? guitars aren't my specialty, & i have a long list of other things to do on here, but there must be someplace appropriate to insert the info, eventually, & i'd rather it wasn't lost. i might tackle esteban's infomercial guitar fame... lol Lx 121 (talk) 11:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I think to have a list of people who use this manufacturer's guitars, we need to have at least 2 (preferably _many_ more) notable people who use them (and where we have a reliable, independent source that comments on this). So, who else should be on the list? Because at present we only have one name, which isn't valid content for a list, plus two others who aren't notable and hence should not be on the list (per WP:SAL).

Ayn Rand and the history of philosophy

I am putting this article up for deletion. Even if it were well-written and properly sourced (neither of which applies here), the subject is insufficiently notable. There are no articles David Hume and the history of philosophy or Wittgenstein and the history of philosophy so why should this apply to Rand? Particularly as there is considerable evidence she neither understood nor even read any philosophy. It's about time we took a stand against the proliferation of articles about this figure who is revered, without reason, by a multitude of fanatics who flock to Wikipedia from Rand newsgroups. End of sermon. Peter Damian (talk) 13:09, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Nice find. An absurdity and a disgrace. Might as well create the redlinks you mentioned if we're going to keep this. But your examples are too generous. I'd equate Ayn Rand and the history of philosophy with J. K. Rowling and the history of philosophy or perhaps Rush Limbaugh and the history of philosophy. --Down2theRhythm (talk) 13:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So the title sucks! However, demonstrating that "---- and the history of philosophy" ends up in a redlink does not mean much. There are a number of articles about the philosophy of David Hume or the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. I'm not sure what the point is of equating Ayn Rand with J.K. Rowling or Rush Limbaugh. However, Ayn Rand is a philosopher whose work continues to be studied [18], and perhaps this belongs in another of the Wikipedia articles about her. Mandsford (talk) 15:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- For your information Rand acquired a large cult following and the royalties from her best-selling romantic novels funded "research" by like-minded individuals. But this is not serious academic work, and no proper academic philosopher has ever considered her writing as anything more than a joke. Hope that clears up any misconceptions.

Strong delete for additional reasons. Wiki is littered with sub-sub-articles about Rand, Objectivism and philosophy. It's hard to know how many, as they don't necessarily link to each other. Certainly we have an article on Rand, a separate article on her Objectivism, another on criticisms, separate articles on Objectivist metaphysics, Objectivist epistemology, Objectivist ethics, Objectivist politics and the Objectivist movement. I don't believe Wikipedia treats any major philosopher in this way. It's an epidemic and a disservice to readers.KD Tries Again (talk) 15:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)KD Tries Again[reply]
- Weak Delete: Ayn Rand is at best a footnote in the history of philosophy. However, Her relationship with and understanding of other philosophers and philosophies should probably be covered somewhere. I'm inclined to believe this shouldn't have its own article as it seems a little hyper-specialized, but I am not totally convinced. TallNapoleon (talk) 17:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: Is it not persuasive that we don't have separate articles on the relationship major philosophers have with the history of the subject? By all accounts, Rand's engagement with philosophical scholarship was slight. Her acknowledgment of Aristotle is well known, and there are a handful of comments on Nietzsche and Kant. That's all. Compare the voluminous, scholarly engagements with philosophical history by, e.g., Hegel, Derrida, Bertrand Russell, Deleuze, Dummett, Heidegger, not to mention Aristotle (random choices); these don't warrant separate articles.KD Tries Again (talk) 18:55, 28 March 2009 (UTC)KD Tries Again[reply]

Sadly, I think both these lines have been crossed, but I would like a look at the references.

The result was no consensus. Good arguments have been made on both sides here. That the notability of actors does not spill over to the notability of the film is a perfectly reasonable view, and accepted as common practice. Nonetheless, the award the film received, and the reviews (some of them critical), have persuaded enough people that the subject passes notability standards, and the level of support for that view is strong enough to prevent there being a consensus to delete.

Keep I would consider there to be assertions of notability. Cast members notable enough to have Wikipedia articles, screenplay apparently by someone notable, and an award from a film festival rather more notable than the one held every other year in Downby in the Swamp (weather permitting). I don't find the tone spammy. There are sources quoted. What's wrong with straight to video? Is this a new policy that I've missed - a film is not notable if released on DVD instead of in the cinema? Not a film I would watch, but then again I wouldn't watch Four Weddings, Forrest Gump or Rambo (any of them) either. Personal choice. I comment not on other matters concerning this and other nominations. Peridon (talk) 18:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep. The first of those is basically a rehashed press release. Quoting the producer is a dead giveaway. The next two both look like legitimate reviews (they even criticize the movie -- definitely not PR). However they're not from well known publications so it's difficult to say if they count as WP:RS (something in print in a major newspaper would be better). But they do not seem to be user contributed reviews (i.e. someone has actually paid for them to be written) and they've got Alexa rankings of 20000 and 50000 respectively (i.e. obscure but not incredibly so).

Weak Keep There are plenty of reviews out there, mostly from are-they-reputable-are-they-not sources though. Like [24] for example.

Keep as a film notable and well recieved by experts within its genre. Note The article has just received a well-needed sandblasting and expansion. It has won at least one award and even though now on DVD, is still making the Christian Film Festival circuit. That Christian films do not get big box release and coverage does not negate their notability to the millions of Christian viewers acroos the country. It ain't Saving Private Ryan, but in proper context for what it is, it meets WP:NF. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but let's be honest. It has been reviewed by ONE critic (not really considered a major one), two "family film" review sites/magazines that pretty much review ALL movies (briefly, and without any actual critical review) and personal Christian websites which are not RS. I've removed all the film festival stuff again - its pretty much completely irrelevant and doesn't belong in film articles. Being in a Film Festival, especially a bunch of minor ones, is not notable unless it won an award, which it didn't except at one. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edith Corse Evans

A case of WP:ONEEVENT, although a significant event. The only coverage in reliable sources comes from obituaries and even those are placed by family and friends rather than editorial. The only verifiable facts about the subject are her death, family and club membership.

The rest of the article appears to be based on the fictional account given in A Night to Remember (either the book or the film). As to whether this character needs mentioning at either of those articles I leave to someone who knows the fiction better than I. However, the absence of her name in an extensive cast/character list leads me to believe that even if she occured in the film she is a relatively minor character in the fiction. Nuttah (talk) 08:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ per nominator - nothing supports the claims in the article and there is a significant liklihood that fiction is being presented as fact. The verifiable facts already appear in List_of_passengers_on_board_RMS_Titanic. I42 (talk) 08:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List_of_passengers_on_board_RMS_Titanic. In response to Edward below, this book may be more reliable than I first supposed - good point. Never-the-less, this is someone known for one event so I am not persuaded to !vote keep. Furthermore, I do not believe the New York Times article asserts any particular notability because it is a paid advertisment, not an obituary - anyone can pay to make personal announcements in the newspaper. However, as there is (appropriately) mention of this individual at List_of_passengers_on_board_RMS_Titanic we should redirect to that article. I42 (talk) 15:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An obituary in the NYT is generally considered an indication of notability, and the book A Night to Remember is not a work of fiction. Edward321 (talk) 13:55, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The novelization may be based on actual events, but it is not a factual account but dramatized. Hence the assertion in the article that 'That boat never came and Miss Edith Evans stood on he deck looking out at the survivors sailing off into the distance. She began pondering on the words of a fortune teller and realised she should have listened. "Beware of the Water" the fortune teller had said. Edith Evans went down with the ship. Her body, if recovered, was never identified.' This is not an eye witness account, it is a plot line invented by Lord. Nuttah (talk) 15:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A Night To Remember is not a novelization, since it is not a novel and came out before the movie of that name. The section you quote in the article is not Lord's words, it is an expansion on the Encyclopedia Titanica entry on Miss Evans [25] which appears to be an expansion on what Lord actually said in his book. [26] While we do not know Miss Evans last thoughts, the events listed (including her mentioning the fortune teller) were mentioned by surivors Archibald Gracie and Caroline Brown). Edward321 (talk) 17:26, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The NYT entry is pretty clearly a death notice placed by the family, which anyone can have if they pay for it, rather than an obituary written as part of the editorial content of the newspaper, which would imply notability. There may be evidence of notability, but this isn't it. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has a number of pages devoted to her in Titanic: Women and Children First[27]. I put less weight on the plaque at Grace Memorial, as that was paid for by her friends, but certainly a church isn't going to keep every memorial donated to it for a hundred years if there was no interest. (This NY Times article[28] indicates the plaque at Grace Memorial is a stop on Titanic history tours.) She is also a character in the Broadway production of Titanic[29]. You'll also find a number of other news articles in the Times if you do a gnews search for Edith+Evans+Titanic (leaving out the middle name).[30] The article needs more work, but I think we have a bit more than just the obit to go on here.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- And a comment -- "Miss Evans" does appear in the IMDb cast listing[31] for the film A Night to Remember. Doesn't appear to be a major role, but she is there. (Not saying this meets notability, just correcting an error in the nom).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Magic in Negima

AfDs for this article:

This article barely survived AfD in January 2008 and since then nobody has done anything to help it despite the five cleanup tags dating from 2007, including "no references". The jist of the original AfD was that this article violates our policy on no original research. As it stands today, the article is ridden with original research, most of which can not be fixed using material on hand that isn't apropos of the source itself (first party sources). Under our verifiability policy, Articles should be based upon reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. A quick browse through google, and google news shows a lack of reliable sources needed to back up the article, as per our policy WP:V. Also, the topic of Magic in Negima appears to not meet our notability guidelines, due to the absense of the topic's discussion in reliable, third-party sources. This follows apropos of WP:V as it's impossible to have a notable article on a topic which can not be verified.

In accordance with our deletion policy, this article should be deleted on four different grounds:

It is an article which cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources.
It is an article for which all attempts to find reliable sources to verify it has failed.
It is an article whose subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline.
Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia (see WP:NOT#OR, and WP:NOTMANUAL)

Each of these in itself is a valid reason to delete this article and since it has already been given a chance to redeem itself over a year ago deletion seems like the only viable option to keep this article in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I keep my comment as per the first nomination.

The article has no WP:RS and WP:V to show notability, that is pretty much more than enough fact to delete it. Also, I must remind the above anon user that AfD is not a vote.

Delete In the first AfD, I recommended to transwiki this to the Anime Wikia. But that project appears to be pretty much dead. The original problems still remain, first and foremost is that there is not a single reliable, third-party source on the subject of the article. Second, this is still an excessive amount of plot detail with little real-world context, and what context there is is entirely original research. As for the IP's WP:NOTAGAIN argument, perhaps he/she should read the page before using it again. This nomination doesn't fall under WP:NOTAGAIN do to two factor. First, this is the second time the article was nominated for deletion. If this was like the eighth nomination, then WP:NOTAGAIN may have some legitimate bases, but not on a second nomination. Second, it has been well over a year since the first nomination. Again WP:NOTAGAIN is only a valid arguement if the previous nomination was a few days or a few weeks ago, but not a whole year.

Except there is nothing to say that it does all come from the manga, theres no references (noting the entire series doesn't count). The manga itself probably doesn't even go into that much detail (a similar thing happened with a related article). it's pure WP:OR, which is a legitimate reason to remove large quantitys of the content, even if the page stays. Dandy Sephy (talk) 22:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally material from an appendix from book 4 and a few chapters after that. Someone added in the comparison at the beginning, still could be sourced from an official guide book(though all considered primary and is not really helping much) Then tons of random edit from various editors adding in WP:OR and I must say, it is really beyond repair. If it is remerged, the only thing I would merge is maybe a sentence in the main article saying the detail magic system of this series could be found in the appendix of chapter X, Y, Z and book M, N, O.

Agree with Crowsnest, get some real work done before asking what would happen if it is done. The same argument was given in almost all AfD discussions, but little actually got done. Enough time have pass to prove the article actually keep getting worse. If you can find WP:RS and WP:V to back the article up, I think most people would change to a keep consensus. If not, then too bad, no matter how massive the clean up is, I don't think it is going to help in this situation without actual sources to prove its notability.

Chile–Estonia relations

Disputed {{PROD}}. Topic fails WP:N--no non-trivial sources on this "topic" could be located.[32] Consensus at previous AfDs is that the mere existence of diplomatic relations does not constitute notability. See, for example WP:Articles for deletion/Laos-Romania relations, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Canada–Moldova_relations, or Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bilateral_relations_of_Ireland. Yilloslime ^T_C 04:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From the official Estonian government site:

In South America, Chile has been one of Estonia’s most important trading partners. Estonia has exported machinery, equipment and mineral fuels to Chile. Estonian imports from Chile include wine, fish and crustaceans as well as fruits. The total turnover in the trade of goods between the two countries reached MEEK 99.6 in 2007. OECD membership allows for the further tightening of economic relations.

In 2006, Estonia and Chile issued the joint Antarctic themed postmark series, designed by Ülle Marks and Jüri Kass, bearing images of the Emperor penguin and the minke whale.

It took all of 20 seconds to find just one example of a particular relathionship. So, perhaps we can agree to leave this? Thank you. PetersV TALK 05:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Why can't people write in English and not Wikipedese? Can you state "Disputed {{PROD}}" in English? Thank you. PetersV TALK 05:32, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this isn't just some random pairing of two countries forming yet another contentless article like many other articles that have been deleted, but an active relationship in terms of meetings, trade and treaties, which has had some coverage by the respective foreign language media. Chile physically co-locating the Estonian Embassy in Helsinki (a 75km one hour ferry ride from Tallinn) along with its Finnish Embassy is more of a function of economics than importance. Martintg (talk) 08:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fine, but where are the independent secondary sources that would establish the notibility of this topic? Such sources are required by WP:N. Yilloslime ^T_C 08:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the respective Estonian and Chilean media, something an English language Google search would not reveal. Martintg (talk) 08:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well then it's probably not worthy of coverage in the English Wikipedia. Might be suitable a topic for the Estonian, Spanish, or even Russian Wikipedias, though. Yilloslime ^T_C 08:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that, perhaps you should look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias: "Sources published in a medium which is both widely available and familiar to editors, such as a news website, are more likely to be utilised than those from esoteric or foreign-language publications regardless of their reliability. For example, a 2007 story on the BBC News website is more likely to be utilised than a 1967 edition of the Thai Post.". Martintg (talk) 08:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong answer. International relations are not just the business of the involved countries' languages. International relations are world affairs. These days, the Franks speak English, so lingua franca for discussing world affairs is English. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 09:09, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To which the obvious counter-argument would be that finding English sources for such a relationship shouldn't be that hard to find then? --Russavia ^Dialogue 09:24, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As the article stands now. There is no permanent diplomatic representation in either country of the other (anyone can be an honorary consul), and the only sources for info thus far are non-independent sources. If there is "respective Estonian and Chilean media" coverage, this independent coverage needs to be demonstrated within the article, as there is no offhand notabe relations between the two countries -- political, trade, transport, cultural, military, etc. --Russavia ^Dialogue 08:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not true, the current Chilean ambassador to Estonia, Carlos Parra Merino officially presented his credentials to the Estonian President in 2007 [33], he is Chile's permanent representative to Estonia, being located in Helsinki is just a convenience for him, nothing more. Martintg (talk) 08:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which is exactly what I stated; The Chilean ambassador to Finland has concurrent accreditation to Estonia, and has residence in Helsinki; meaning there is no permanent diplomatic representation of either country in the other. There are varying reasons why countries have embassies in other countries also covering other countries in concurrence; it may be due to limited resources of countries, or it may be that relations are not yet fully developed; those are just two reasons. Without the demonstrated existence of independent sources to give the bilateral relationship notability, the article by all rights should be deleted. --Russavia ^Dialogue 08:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in WP:N mentions anything about where an accredited representative resides being a requirement for notability, and Helsinki is a convenient ferry ride away from Tallinn. As I said, the relationship is notable in the respective foreign language medias, references of which will be presented in due course. You vote is premature. Martintg (talk) 09:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it doesn't, but it does state "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." I've looked for sources myself before voicing my opinion here, so this isn't an opinion I haven't voiced without checking first. I've also mentioned numerous things which can come into "bilateral relations" and there is nothing there to be found; not by me anyways. --Russavia ^Dialogue 09:24, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How's a visa-free travel programme for a reason? It takes away quite a lot of the embassies' workload, allowing consuls to effectively deal with a lot of the remaining diplomatic business. Besides, this isn't anything like, say, Cyprus-Chile, where Cyprus maintains its supposedly Chilean embassy on the other side of the world -- in Madrid, no less.

Of course, that's not how it's formally said, but for all practical purposes, Chile's embassy resides in Talsinki. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 09:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's how the Chile's embassy actually puts it: Embajada de Chile en Finlandia. Concurrente en Estonia. in big, friendly letters atop the title page. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 09:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Visas and the like are usually the domain of the consular service of an embassy; an embassy isn't just a visa-processing centre. It is high-level representation of one country to another, and includes functions such as the fostering of trade ties, cultural ties, military ties, etc via their respected attaches; basically the representation of one country's interests in another. The existence of a permanent diplomatic mission, whilst not the be-all-and-end-all of this subject, can often indicate possibly notability of a subject at a casual glance. I wouldn't object to article being recreated in future though, but as it stands now, it doesn't demonstrate notability, and the nomination is a correct one. --Russavia ^Dialogue 09:32, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As has become quite clear, Chile maintains a permanent diplomatic mission to Estonia. The situation is similar to how Chile's embassy to Luxembourg is located in Brussels -- a Benelux city that happens to formally locate on the Belgian side. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 10:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand to clarify the issues raised above. I'll take your word that Chile is indeed important to Estonia. NVO (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'll try to not to puke when I see that this was started by Groubani. Although I do not endorse the reckless creation of a multiplication table's worth of articles about nationX and nationY, the fact that they have negotiated agreements, and that the Prime Minister of Estonia has conferred with the President of Chile, is proof enough that there is a notable relationship here. It occurs to me that this should be the rule of thumb on notability of a relationship-- a meeting between the heads of government or negotiations on an agreement specific to the two nations. Mandsford (talk) 15:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is notability by assertion: nowhere do the notability guidelines state or even imply that the mere existence of bilateral agreements between countries makes their relations notable. Notability still boils down to coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources, and no one has demonstrated that such coverage exist for the topic Estonian-Chilean relations. Some sort of rule of thumb for dealing with these types of articles would certainly be welcome, and hopefully after enough of these have gone thru AfD we'll have a good idea of what that rule might look like. But I don't think it'll be as simply as what you propose. For one, what about notably bad relations? We wouldn't expect to see bilateral agreements or embassies in countries with terrible relations, yet there would be tons of literature on the topic of their relations. Yilloslime ^T_C 16:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability guidelines differ for different things. If third party independant sources are the only requirement, then are you suggesting we should also delete the individual entries in List of Heroes of the Russian Federation? Martintg (talk) 02:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[[WP:|Notability]] applies to topics--specifically whether a topic is appropriate for stand-alone article. It has nothing to say about what specific facts get covered in an article.Yilloslime ^T_C 07:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No indications of any particular notability. The contact between the two countries appears low-level and routine: 6.3 million EUR in annual trade is tiny (many large stores would make this kind of revenue in a week), the treaties are all low level boilerplate type stuff and all kinds of combinations of national leaders meet all the time (and since when are press releases useful for establishing notability?). Nick-D (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you hadn't noticed, Estonia's economy isn't all that big and Chilean wine does have the greatest market share in that country. Is doing a joint stamp issue a low-level and routine thing? Martintg (talk) 02:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, joint issues are a standard thing and are typical done by postal bureaus. That information belongs in that article, but can't seriously be used to establish notability of a bilateral relationship. A joint-stamp issue is not like a joint space mission which could be used to establish some degree of notability. --Russavia ^Dialogue 03:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joint space mission? Get serious, by that criteria the only article worth keeping would be Soviet-US relations, every thing else would be deleted. These arguments are becoming a bit silly. Martintg (talk) 03:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard rumours that it's common in Russia to see the world affairs as a Manichean battle between USA (also known as the International Imperialism) and Russia (also known as the Third Rome), and to believe that all international relations follow from this eternal opposition. I guess these rumours are somewhat validated now. Διγουρεν_{Εμπρος!} 06:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joint space missions require high-levels of co-operation -- military, technical, political, etc. Joint-stamp issues require probably nothing more than the signature of a post office "manager". Also, the level of trade between Estonia and Chile, as Nick-D mentions is miniscule, and is about the same amount of trade between Australia and Albania each year - we wouldn't build an article based upon Australia exporting $2 million of margarine to Albania a year. To bring it straight back to this, have there been any state visits between Estonia and Chile? Have there been any treaties signed between the two countries which indicate a notable relationship (visa-free travel isn't really notable either)? Is there any history of contacts between the two countries? etc, etc, etc. These are what one calls notable relations. If anything like that could be supplied, I'd change my opinion to keep in a flash. Instead of absurdly arguing to keep an article based upon the existence of a joint-stamp issue, it would be better to find sources to demonstrate actual notability; as I said previously, I searched myself for this info before I voiced my opinion here; a search in Spanish or Estonian may yield something substantial, and they should be found. This is exactly what was mentioned by several editors at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_March_14#Template:Let_it_develop -- articles don't exist because someone thinks it is important, they exist because they are notable, and notability can be established by following WP:N. --Russavia ^Dialogue 06:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For a small country like Albania, maybe $2 million of margarine exports from Australia may be a very significant thing. Are we suffering from systematic bias here? Visa free travel is not notable? Russia may have engaged in joint space missions, but has Russia achieved visa free travel with the USA or Europe yet? When it does, that would certainly be a notable event. Chile and Estonia has enjoyed visa free travel since 2000. As for joint stamp issues, the event was attended by the Chilean ambassador with lots of coverage, for example as reported here in this TV item. There are some 759 Google hits when I search on the terms Tšiili suursaadik eesti (Chile ambassador Estonia), if I had the time I'm sure I could dig up quite a number of references. Martintg (talk) 09:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the CIA World Factbook's entry on Estonia, in 2007 Estonia imported $US 16.23 billion worth of goods and services and exported $US 13.16 billion. As such, EUR 6 million is a tiny proportion of the country's trade and, not surprisingly, Chile isn't listed as being one of Estonia's main trading partners. Countering systemic bias isn't an excuse to include trivia or claim that trivia generates notability. Nick-D (talk) 07:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However Chilean wine does dominate the Estonian market, which is remarkable given the EU wine lake. We all want to get rid of these random pairings created by Groubani, heck I agree with deleting Estonia–South Africa relations and Colombia–Estonia relations, but given enough random groupings will actually generate a handful of pearls. Unlike those two other articles mentioned, there are a number of bilateral agreements (which in of itself would be notable for an encyclopedia), high level ministerial meetings, cultural events like the Chilean film festival and a joint stamp release. There really is a need to develop specific criteria for notability of diplomatic relations for inclusion into WP:N, until then, I think this article should make the cut. Martintg (talk) 09:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I'd say every major grocery store in Estonia has dedicated shelf space for Chile wines. The largest ones have wide selections of 'Wines of the world', of course, but I was quite impressed last week, seeing a dedicated rack for Chile wines in a relatively small store oriented for students (it's located next to a major UT dormitory). They had three self-serve sections for alcoholic beverages altogether: "Beer" (a few manufacturer-branded refrigerated showcases), "Chile wines" (a man-sized rack full of various bottles) and "Alcohol" (unclassified shelves of various bottled alcoholic drinks from the bubbly to the fortified.

Except that no one other than the Estonian and Chilean governments has bothered to make note of (i.e. written about) their relations. Notability for a stand-alone article requires coverage in independent secondary sources. We do not have that here. It's fine for wikipedia to mention somewhere that Chilean wine is popular in Estonia and that neither country has an embassy in the other, but those facts alone don't justify a stand-alone article. Significant coverage of those facts would. If this was band, and the only sources were the band's website and myspace page and a few Events Calendars from local papers establishing that they'd played some shows, then everyone would agree (I suspect) that the topic is non-notable. We have an analogous situation here, but many folks seem to be confusing the issue of whether there is trivial coverage of their relations with whether the relations themselves are trivial. Yilloslime ^T_C 15:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing apples and oranges. There are a zillion bands out there that would love their very own Wikipedia article, hence the bar to notability must necessarily be set high. However anything published by a government is intrinsically notable. There are 192 countries within the UN, but the Estonian Foreign Ministry has only published information on relations with 70 countries, relations with the other 122 countries aren't deemed notable enough by the Estonian state.

Note that the requirement for establishing notability (which is here) is not simply that any-old sources can be dug up, but rather that independent secondary sources can be found, and furthermore that such sources actually discuss the topic, not simply mention it trivially in passing. The article still has no such sources. The sources it has are a few Estonian government webpages, and briefest possible mentions that 1) Chilean wine in popular in Estonia, and 2) they issued a joint postal stamp. Can someone explain to me how any of these sources are independent, secondary, and non-trivial? Yilloslime ^T_C 17:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If we deleted all the articles on WP which only rely on news sources and no "independent secondary sources" we'd have to delete half the content on WP. "Trivial" as has been used herein is personal editorial POV. You think a joint postal issue of two countries at opposite ends of the globe is trivial, I think it's not. PetersV TALK 20:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read me comment more closely. I never said the joint issue was trivial, on that it--and more generally the topic of Chile-Estonia relations--has received only trivial coverage in independent secondary sources... Yilloslime ^T_C 22:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

?? I just provided 5 independent sources from the press and TV. Since when is an item broadcast on television news considered trivial coverage? Martintg (talk) 23:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring specifically to refs used in the article—sorry if that wasn't clear. But the refs you (Martintg) provided aren't any better. Two of them are already cited in the article and I discussed them above. The others (translated using google[35]) don't actually discuss the topic of bilateral relations between these countries. One is about the stamps and talks about their design and the interest of each country in the Antarctic--nothing about their bilateral relations. Another is about a meeting the PM of Chile and the President of Estonia--a high level meeting for sure, but there's nothing in the article on the topic of their bilateral relations, it only briefly relates what the leaders talked about. The last one talks about a meeting between the Mayor or Tallinn and the Chilean Ambassador to Estonia who happens to live in Finland. Not a word on the relations between the two countries except that (and please excuse google's poor English): "The Mayor and the Ambassador said that building up contacts and the development of the capital cities of both countries, and between the perspective of both parties begin preparations for the establishment of cooperative." If we were talking about bands or video games we'd call these types mentions "cruft". Yilloslime ^T_C 23:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I said before, there are a zillion garage bands who would love their own article, thus the requirement for notability is different for bands. You voted keep in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cyprus–Russia relations, but looking at those sources in that article, most are concerned with missile sales. Missile sales fulfill notability criteria, wine sales and visa free travel and joint stamp release not, apparently. Martintg (talk) 01:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's simple: there appear to be plenty of sources on those missile sales (and other aspects of Cypriot-Russian relations) that are independent, secondary, and actually discuss the issue in some depth. I'm not seeing that with this topic.Yilloslime ^T_C 04:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(od) It's a sad commentary that missiles count and other things apparently don't. I thought when it came to encyclopedic articles it wasn't about popularity contests and simple mass mentality and mass media. As for "cruft", sorry, I debugged my first program in 1972, I pre-date "cruft." Perhaps you have a more accessible metaphor? PetersV TALK 04:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or more to the point: 100 sources fixated on missiles versus even just 1 source fixated on joint postal issues at opposite ends of our planet are about equivalent in terms of topical interest and encyclopedic significance in my book. I don't deny you your significance of missiles (or that many agree with you). That's no reason to deny the significance of postal issues (or paucity of coverage because missiles are more interesting because of their apocalyptic appeal). PetersV TALK 04:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And regarding an earlier "Which is exactly what I stated; The Chilean ambassador to Finland has concurrent accreditation to Estonia, and has residence in Helsinki; meaning there is no permanent diplomatic representation of either country in the other." An ambassador is an ambassador, period. A building is not a relationship. Latvia's ambassador to the U.S. and to Mexico happened to live in the U.S. while posted here. That doesn't mean there aren't relations. Helsinki or Stockholm as the center-point for Baltic activities/headquarters diplomatic or otherwise is common and in no way a measure of importance.

Speculative negative BLP of the alleged 'terrorist'. No follow-up news about this person from the Pak government (unlike in the case of Ajmal Kasab).

Or Ansar might not have actually been behind it; source #2 mentions some discrepancies between Ansar's claim and actual fact. Notability is not temporary.

This person came into light only due to the bomb blast accusations by the Pakistan government; the media quoted what the government said, and then the whole issue went into a state of silence—no legal proceeding, nothing. Perhaps a sourced paragraph about the allegations in the Lahore bomb blast article (if exists) is fine; but IMO, writing a whole BLP based on a frivolous accusation is an overkill.

Brass Quintet Repertoire

I don't think you can really define or limit the repertoire of every brass quintet on the planet in one, fairly OR-y article (and I say that as a trumpet player of nine years). It isn't non-notable, and it doesn't fall foul of any of the other policies, but it seems to be trying to do a job no article can effectively do. Ironholds (talk) 01:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow what your objection actually is. This is a repertoire list, of which there are several on Wikipedia. The list is not a circumscription of the brass quintet repertoire. Like other repertoire lists on Wikipedia, it is a listing of significant works that have been written for the medium. No more no less. Nothing on the page is not verifiable, and there is no original research.Trumpetrep (talk) 01:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From the first hit: "To remedy this situation, for the last couple of years the goldsmith from Krumbach worked diligently on the conception of a modern study book for the Waldzither, which was created in cooperation with the Thuringian organization of music schools and was presented at the conference." That is a random paragraph; the conference was organized by the subject, the "situation" to be remedied was that there was no study material for this particular instrument. So that's much more than "M.R. plays this instrument," yes. Drmies (talk) 20:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

:Comment Although Martina's works are self-published, they sell well and are well-known in the field. Several people have used her work without referencing it - including on Wikipedia. This article serves to document her as an active researcher and author, as well as musician, songwriter, etc. I would like to add external links to the article but was not able to. These would include a link to her web site, which has several newspaper clippings about her and her work, and to waldzither.de, where she is referenced a great deal.

Comment I think the article needs editing rather than deletion. Rosenberger's main claim to fame is as a key figure in the recent revival of the waldzither tradition and one of only two people to have done extensive research in this important part of the German musical heritage. This may not be clearly enough stated in the article.

Delete. This does actually sound like a fairly reasonable topic for an encyclopedia article - there's definitely been plenty of research on the effects of alcohol on sexual behaviour.

Keep. A valid topic for an encyclopedia, and an article that provides a basis to work from.

Keep Bachman inked a three-year contract with the NHL's Dallas Stars yesterday [40], news that hit the web a few hours after the article was nominated. In response to "can be recreated", I would say "can be renominated if he doesn't play in a game between now and the end of the NHL season". We'll never know for sure if the article or this nomination was a factor in Bachman and Dallas coming to an agreement-- I can see it now: "Get lost kid, you don't even have an article on Wikipedia, you ain't notable!" "I do NOW Mr. Hicks! Look!" "Yeah, but it's been nominated for deletion... alright, we'll offer you a three year deal, and you'd better take it before your little article gets deleted."

- Response, which part of WP:ATHLETE does he meet then? Just being signed doesn't mean that he'll inevitably play, and he has not yet "competed at the fully professional level of a sport".

He is expected to be the third string behind Turco. He makes notability for being the first player since Curtis Joseph to win rookie of the year and player of the year in the same season. He also makes notability for being on the USA under 18 international team, which is clearly stated in the WP:ATHLETE.keystoneridin! (talk) 04:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, where does it say in WP:ATHLETE that playing on a junior/youth team implies notability? Indeed, this line of reasoning has been shot down at previous discussions. Also, the WCHA appears only to be a (non-professional?) student hockey league, so I'm not sure how notable such an award really is, even if someone famous has previously won it as well (indeed, the award is not even mentioned on Curtis Joseph). Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

He also played for USA hockey, which is notable. Also, to put this into perspective, Bachman could be compared to a practice squad football player.

Comment there was a mention in the Esperanto article as far back as 2006. It later got relegated to the external links section and then was removed altogether in a major spam cleanout here. It is possible that the loss of EK was merely collateral damage, but as it seems to have been considered spam by the editors doing the cleanup, it would be wise not to merge it back in without a talk page discussion first.

Billy Pilgrim

Entirely unsourced plot summary, any relevant info can be summarized in the novel's article. Suggest deletion, then moving Billy Pilgrim (group) to this title, with a hatnote pointing to Slaughterhouse-Five. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 00:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Slaughterhouse-Five as it was the first use of the name. The hatnote should point to the group from the article on the book. As for this article, it consists of nothing but plot summary and should be replaced by the aforementioned redirect as it is a likely search term. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 01:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I still think it would be better to move the band article to this title and leave a hatnote. This saves us from using a qualifier when there's no actual article for the qualifier-free name. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 01:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the band describes itself thusly on its own web page: "not currently active at this time, although this page will continue to remain a place where fans can come together and share their thoughts and memories, and also to keep tabs on the current endeavors of (its former members)" [45]. It also states that its most recent album (2001) is "out of stock at CD Baby. At this time, no estimates are available for when this album will be available again". Compare that to the novel in which this character appears--continuously in print. Surely most people searching for Billy Pilgrim are looking for the character, not the defunct band? JJL (talk) 03:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, and then discuss whether or not to merge at the appropriate talk page, and which should be the primary title for the disam. . My view is that the protagonist of such a major novel is appropriate for an article, as all the sources on the novel and the film will talk about him also in a substantial way. There are multiple published guides and commentaries on them. When a character appears in both media, there are usually substantial comparisons made. I know I'm saying, you other guys, go and do it. But stop nominating articles on leading characters of major novels and I might have time to work more on content. DGG (talk) 02:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep protagonist of highly significant work and associated film. JJL (talk) 04:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Slaughterhouse-Five. Billy Pilgrim isn't a notable character in himself and the article contains no content that evaluates him in an encyclopedic manner, nor does it contain any citations at all. At best, its plot summary and at worst its original research. His notability apart from the book is little to none so this redirct should do little harm. Them From Space 05:24, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment try a search on "Billy Pilgrim" on Google Books or Scholar. There are tons of sources. E.g.: [46], [47], [48]. JJL (talk) 15:32, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Those sources all discuss Slaughterhouse 5, not Billy Pilgrim. It's impossible to discuss Pilgrim away from the works of Vonnegut because he's a character within the book. Notability isn't inherited from the book to the main character. Them From Space 17:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment there are plenty that are on the character and his traits/circumstances: [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54]. They are certainly not just analyses of Vonnegut's book(s). There's even a band named after the character [55]. JJL (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with cull. Billy is Slaughterhouse-Five. The appropriate place for what's salvageable here is the article on the novel. This should be a redirect.

Katie Marie

Contested prod. Artist has released four albums and claims one charted single, but three of the four albums are self-released (including the last one: funkee fish is her own company[57], as is KM[58]). The only other one, "Reach for me", was released by Spinout, for which I was unable to determine its notability but which has no article here (not evidence of not being notable, but indicative nonetheless). No Google news results for that album[59] or the last one[60], and that one gets only 54 distinct Google hits[61], not of them from reliable independent sources. She is listed on Allmusic (but no biography, only the simple directory listing of her music), the billboard.com links in the article are copies of Allmusic so are a bit misleading. The article claims that she had one #1 charting single: again it has no Google News hits[62]), and the one chart given as example of her #1 status actually lists the song as having a highest chart position of ... #374 (#48 in the subgenre of acoustic folk).[63] Taken together, this fails WP:MUSIC.

Keep sort of. This one is a bit of an oddball. The suggestion to redirect has merit. However in doing the research to determine if Ted Simonett was notable, what I kept finding was the "Canadian Tire Guy" actually seems to be notable. Articles such as this and this would indicate that "Canadian Tire Guy" has reached some form of iconic status in Canada similar to something like the I Am Canadian beer campaign. There is this interview with Ted Simonett, but I don't feel a single article from a university newspaper is sufficient to hang the notability of an article on. Based on the available sources, I am proposing that the article be moved to Canadian Tire guy incorporating basic verifiable biographic information about the actor that played him, as well as documenting the character he played in the advertising campaign. I am prepared to do the necessary research, sourcing, and editting if there is consensus for this proposal. -- Whpq (talk) 17:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum - after a thorough read of the Brock Press "interview", it's a fine example of why university press needs to be viewed with a very critical eye with respect to use as a reliable source. It appears to be mostly made up. -- Whpq (talk) 17:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Time Warp (radio)

These three articles are part of a series of Radio Tales articles, the others of which were all deleted as a result of the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The German Student (radio); and it's clear that they were simply overlooked in the nom's creation of the list of articles in that AfD (note that The Yellow Wallpaper (radio) is specifically mentioned in item #3 of the nomination). Their format and content is, mutatis mutandis, identical to the format and content of the articles already deleted, so the rationales that resulted in those deletions should be applied here as well.

Note: The previously deleted articles have all been userfied in the userspace of MichaelQSchmidt, and the same treatment may be accorded these; but they should be deleted from the mainspace as explained above. Deor (talk) 23:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per my rationale at the previous AfD, as well as my rationale for starting the first AfD. These articles contain no hint of notability and are created with a clear conflict of interest from an account that only operates to promote this radio show, who has been blocked for spamming inappropriate links about the radio shows. The yellow wallpaper should be deleted without discussion as it was part of the other AfD. It was probably overlooked by the closer since there was a huge bundle.

Comment I think it could be salvaged, but I'm not interested in doing it myself. Maybe it has its roots in a machine translation from the Japanese Wikipedia? The topic is a hot one in Japan, and the connections with the Koizumi reforms place it in the context of Japan, so even though the topic could find a place as a section on a similar practice worldwide, I wouldn't mind seeing it stay as a standalone article on Japan. Yet I'll stop short of a vote. Fg2 (talk) 10:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's the story of the year in 2009 -- the form that the financial crisis has taken in Japan.The translation needs a lot of work and it needs better English references, but the topic is important. Good English references shouldn't be too hard to find. If I were going to do it, I think I would want to restructure it by giving the background.

Weak Delete, even accounting for the rather specialised nature of this software, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of coverage out there for it.

Keep. Ironically, Microsoft's search engine turns up more relevant results for "linux profiler" than Google. RotateRight's Zoom page is in the top 10 hits.

Comment As a life long Rochester, NY resident with a slightly below average interest in local politics, I can say that the subject was involved in the Democratic primary race during the last mayoral elections. Given that, like a lot of other U.S. cities, the Democratic primary is fundamentally the at-large election (Dems generally get >75% of city votes), there is some minor signifance in that.

The mayor of Rochester properly has an article, but failed candidates for such offices are rarely notable. The news coverage was solely based on Maj's campaign, making it a BLP1E. However, it should be noted that Chris Maj was the second president of the original Rochester Cannabis Coaltion, which later became Students for Sensible Drug Policy and is now a national organization. That may confer additional notability beyond his mayoral campaign. I am abstaining from a recommendation because I know Chris Maj personally. Powers ^T 14:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- As an addendum, if the consensus is to delete, I recommend a transwiki to RocWiki. Powers ^T 15:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, failed candidate, was unable to find any coverage of him except for letters to the editor (written by him), and a couple of minor mentions as a candidate. Nothing significant, and therefore I don't believe he meets the WP:BIO notability guideline. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Logans fire

Non-notable book that doesn't even come up in a search engine Maniamin (talk) 04:38, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst it's not entirely true that the book doesn't appear in search engine results, I can't find anything outside of Amazon.com listings and the like. As such, this is lacking the sources to support notability, so I would recommend Deletion. one brave monkey 16:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pretty much per Onebravemonkey. The book exists, but we don't know much beyond that from reliable sources. Also in case this gets kept there should be an apostrophe in the title; "Logan's". Them From Space 05:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails notability criteria for books: no non-trivial mentions in independent, reliable sources, no notable awards, author not historically significant etc. Paid particular attention when searching to see if the book was recommended reading at religious schools so it could meet criterion #5, but no luck.

Project 'S'

The project appears to be complete vaporware, with no evidence of its production outside of an informal interview between its two producers Suda 51 and Hideo Kojima. Since then, there's been no official confirmation about the project and when the producers are asked about it, they're declined to make a comment about it. Thus, I see no reason for keeping this article other than to report on speculation of a game that seems unlikely to be made at this point. Jonny2x4 (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- The last few times Kojima and Suda were asked about the project, they denied any actual development in the project. The game never really had any official announcement of its production to begin with, just a few informal statements by the supposed producers. At this point, the project is vaporware.

Delete there is no tangible article, just the repetition of a single source (1up) which itself is reading from another source, along with a couple of sentences of gossip and original research. As pointed out on the talk-page, this later interview pours cold water on the whole thing. 3 years is long enough for this curious fusion of nothing-in-particular to be lying around. Someone another 15:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: lacks the non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources needed to assert notability, by a mile. Someone another 15:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with possibly the Kojima Productions or Grasshopper Manufacture articles or something similar. While it just about clings onto notability, it has nowhere near enough content yet to warrant an separate article, nor is it very likely that such sources will turn up any time soon to back up such future content.

Mantic Ritual

This band's first album came out in the last few weeks. I don't see any mention of notable members, chart status, or frankly, anything that qualifies them as meeting WP:BAND. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 21:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as passing WP:BAND by way of having a North American tour -- see [68], [69], [70], etc. This is no endorsement of their music. Bearian (talk) 21:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC) (From WP:BAND: A "musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 4. Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.") Bearian (talk) 21:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at those, my take is that while they have toured as a supporting act, they have not met the "non-trivial coverage" part of the requirement (i.e., something more than "articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories"). Dori (Talk • Contribs) 23:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Beside the multiple sources in the article itself, the German Wikipedia page [71] for them sites six non-trivial German music news sources covering the band. Also, judging by the length of the German article and complete lack of "notability discussion" there, it seems to be granted that they've established themselves in more than one "sovereign country". --Meneitherfabio (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
