Your opinion is biased on the inclusion of Barry J. Gillis and THINGS 1989

It is very obvious that why you want the article deleted is based on your own bias and subjective opinions, and I have written why your submission of deletion should not be accepted. Who do you think you are anyway? GOD??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barryjedmonton (talk • contribs) 12:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After checking out your profile it is obvious to see why you want the pages deleted.

Because you are a "BIBLE THUMPER", and that is the only reason you have nominated the page for deletion.

Jumping to conclusion, aren't we? If you are right about my motivations, then the article will survive the deletion discussion. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 12:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nabil Lahlou

A very tough one indeed. I found that he does exist, and has note as a stage director [1] in Morroco and there seems to be a LOT of G-News coverage of him in French language. I also have found the films: Al Kanfoudi[2] and Brahin Yash[3]. They are pre-internet and sources are few, but they have been covered in books. If you care to withdraw, I will attempt an expansion and sourcing later today. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I forgot to sign at the AfD. I just upped my own keep to strong based upon The world encyclopedia of contemporary theatre calling him one of the most influential Morrocan theatrical directors of the 1980s, and because he is written of in depth in Companion encyclopedia of Middle Eastern and North African film. The G-Book search "Al Kanfoudi", film proved useful. A web search for Nabil+Lahlou+theater is also proving fruitful, but will need help from French-reading wikipedians. I have expanded the stub a bit and added some sources. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:16, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nabil Lahlou

Nabil Lahlou do exist and it's a bit hard to find information about him, even if he got some very local famous movies.Kindly keep the article and I will find more information. I have picturs of him how can I add them to the article? Rgds Karim Al Fassi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karim El Fassi (talk • contribs) 22:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Parish of Muswellbrook-Aberdeen

What do u see the problem is with this page, I used to go to this parish and all i was doing was trying to create a page for my former parish so you have no right in doing it unless you have some bias against roman catholics Cymruman, ^Cymruman - timed 04:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me how this parish meets Wikipedia's minimum notability requirements? -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 03:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is the only catholic parish from the upper hunter region of australia to have a page on Wikipedia and I don't see the problem with the page being on hereCymruman, ^Cymruman - timed 04:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Let me rephrase that. How did the parish meet Wikipedia's minimum notability requirements before the Wikipedia article on it was created? -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 03:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Horst Piepenburg

I think he is notable. See also Google News. --bender235 (talk) 13:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariofan110

I think I should apologize. My first thought upon seeing the AfD was that it should be speedied right away. I made my first comment before I saw the revision history, and the second before I saw your reports to AIV. I fully understand your actions now. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 01:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

San Diego Thunder

I have updated the San Diego Thunder entry. It now includes references to multiple websites that prove the validity of the team. These sites include pages that cover the team's championship games, historical data, highlights, and also validate their league affiliations. I apologize for not posting these references immediately. This is the first wiki entry I have ever posted so I would like to thank you for your patience.

This season, the Chargers have given us permission to wear their old powder blue jerseys, which shows that well known organizations within the area are indeed well aware of our presence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdthunder (talk • contribs) 09:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--Sdthunder (talk) 09:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. The above-mentioned references and the fact you got the Chargers' permission to use their colours prove the team's existence, which no one questioned. It is the notability of the team that still needs to be shown, and that of the league it plays in, through reliable third-party sources. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 12:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Check the page and you will see the references that prove that we were a member of the LCFL last season and are now members of the UFAL. You will also see that news of our team appears on websites for other teams as well (Indianapolis Tornados for example). There is also an article about us from the San Diego Tribune and several sites that display our current and past schedules.

If you visit the league website (referenced on the page) you will see that our league is being promoted by USC Head Coach Pete Carroll, who is a very well know person in the NFL and college football scene.

There is also a website in which a freelance videographer has posted game tapes of our team. I will add more later as I have to go to work now.

--Sdthunder (talk) 16:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't get my point, did you? Quit trying to prove the team's existence and show me its notability instead. WP:BUTITEXISTS is not, has never been, and never will be a valid argument for keeping an article, and quite frankly, the very fact that you are spending that much energy trying to prove to me the existence of your team tells me that you yourself do not believe that your team does meet Wikipedia's minimum notability requirements. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'm starting to gain a better understanding of what you are saying. Sites other than our own are chronicling our seasons which shows that our cause is indeed important enough for others to cover it. I understand that you are looking for more than just mere existence which is why I provided references to sites that do not belong to our team. For example, NBA teams have other sports sites such CBSSports, ESPN, etc containing information regarding their team. This shows that those teams are important enough for outside parties to cover them. That is what the E-teamz, leaguelineup, UFAL, etc are doing. These sites are providing 3rd party coverage of our team. Would someone take time out of their busy schedule to create a site if they didn't think it was important?

Allow me to introduce then some reasons as to why we are important enough to have an entry. We are a non-profit organization: non of our coaches or players are paid. In fact our players have to pay fees to cover travel, field reservations, jerseys, and equipment. We are also very active in our community as we are involved in youth intervention programs and various charity events. This is why I feel this is entry is important. Others will see the entry and notice that we have helped others in the community. If there is a cause that needs attention they will come to us to help them out.

By educating people about our team we can provide awareness to important causes. The purpose of any encyclopedia is to educate people. To expect a Semi-Pro team to have the same amount of coverage as a pro team is unrealistic. We are not millionaires. We are average Americans who just so happen to love the game of football. Just because our players aren't on national TV or make a lot of money doesn't mean we aren't important. By having only topics that are mainstream you are defeating the purpose of Wikipedia: to introduce new concepts. I can't tell you how many times I was reading a wikipedia article that contained links to a topic I had never heard of before. Upon sharing this newfound concept with others they had never heard of it before either. Something great happened here: I learned something new and so did my friend.
