This seems to be a hoax. I have spent some time searching and can find absolutely no confirmation. Searching on Summer Sinclair produces this American actress but her middle initial is E and she is older. Searching the name together with Channel 9 or Channel V or MTV produce nothing relevant. (The tv.com and popstar.com ones look promising but contain no information). Finally, the version originally input contained negative information, since properly removed, but if that had been true this search would surely have produced something. Conclusion - this is probably a hoax, and at best unsourced and unverifiable BLP about a 16-year-old. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 20:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a non-notable card game which contains only the game rules. Author contested the Prod to with the rationale "This description of a card game is one of hundreds on wikipedia" but that is not a valid reason to keep.

Delete WP:NOT#DIRECTORY of shopping malls in Kuwait - of which all of 1 is here listed. No references either. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Keep I did a search and there is an article called list of shopping malls in united states. It was a fairly good sized list. One current problem with the article is that there is only one mall listed. If there were 20 malls listed this would make the article a lot more interesting, but the poor state of the current article is no reason to delete it. If we keep it some day it might grow into a complete list, and from there users would be able to click on the individual malls. I notice that there are also articles on many individual malls in the united states. So there is a strong president that the topic is notable. Why would a list of malls on one country be notable and a list of malls in another country not be notable. Even if there were no malls in a particular country, that subject would be notable, and if there was a list of world wide malls that was broken down into a list by country, then each country needs a list even if it contains no malls, but these articles might explain why there are so few malls or no malls in those particular countries.

The page is an etymology of the family name Woodstrup. I proposed the article for deletion with the comment, "The etymology of a less-common family name is not inherently notable. The page cites no sources and has no clear indication of notability." PROD was contested by User:Woody62, who added an external link to the town of Vodstrup, Denmark, on Google Maps and another to the CV of someone called Bart Woodstrup. Neither counts as a reliable source for the etymology. In addition, etymologies are not typically included on Wikipedia. There is also no evidence that the family name comprises a notable topic.

I, the creator of this article, think it should stay because if this was included in the original, the original article , America's Got Talent (Season 4), would be crowded with too much information and make it much harder to navigate around the page, and even to edit the page. This is why i organized the audition info into a separate article, making it easier for others to edit and navigate around the page. I have also included the references on this page for all the audition info, so there is no need to delete this article for those reasons. This is my argument against the deletion of this article.

An editor at New Chronology (Rohl) insists on adding a {{notability}} tag, apparently on the basis that academic theories that are not widely accepted in their field are subjected to different notability criteria, a position with no obvious basis in WP policy. David Rohl's New Chronology has been covered in a number of popular books by Rohl (one reaching number 2 on the Sunday Times bestseller list), 2 other academic books (one in German), and at least three TV documentaries. Naturally the popular books and TV generated some secondary coverage too. Is this enough for notability, or should the article be deleted or merged back to David Rohl (from which it was recently spun out to permit better development)?

Notability against WP:MUSICBIO is not demonstrable. Apart from event listings on Google and a couple of mentions on Google News only reveal this story where Maddzart is mentioned in the context of another singer, as he was part of a line up who recorded a previous version of the song in question.

The result was redirect to Cypress Semiconductor. Spartaz Humbug! 19:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable product page. The term Cypress TrueTouch is a trademark of Cypress Semiconductor rather than a generic type of product (such as a Multi-touch screen). The minor element of description here could be easily merged to Cypress Semiconductor or as an exemplar in Multi-touch. There are results in Google News but these all appear to be press releases (by Cypress or Samsung) or recycled press releases in product specification pages and "market watch" type articles; most of which have very little to say about the product and much more to do with the financial performance of the company. Having been marked as needing re-write for over six months, there seems little prospect of finding third party sources to demonstrate notability in accordance with WP:ORG.

The result was unilaterally speedily replaced with a disambiguation page. I've also redirected Tock tock to this new dab page. Thryduulf (talk) 10:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Page was tagged as needing verification in August 2008. Currently exists as a note saying it "previously redirected to List of Caribbean membranophones, probably incorrectly." The article's talk page indicated the tock-tock is a beetle and that the redirect was was wrong, and questioned whether the article should even exist. I added what I could find about the term, and it appears to be a Trinidadian term for claves (though the page I found seemed to indicate that the word claves was well-known and used as well). I also found a reference to the beetle, but searching the scientific name brought up other spellings that seemed to me more likely. There is no Wikipedia article for the beetle in question. The page could be used as a redirect to claves, but seems to me to be to minor to warrant doing, or to an article on the beetle, if one is created, though the other names seem better candidates for that. My feeling is it should be deleted (my explanation is better on the talk page), but I defer to the judgment of the group Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about someone who, from 1948 to his death in 1951, fraudulently claimed to be Jesse James. It has been repeatedly filled with overlong nonsense, most of it unsourced or poorly sourced. Per WP:ONEEVENT, there is really no reason for a separate bio. I have put one short, sourced paragraph on this person in the main Jesse James article, which is about all the weight it deserves. This article should have its history deleted and then a protected redirect to Jesse James#Rumors of survival should be created at this title. *** Crotalus *** 16:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
'Keep - There is a huge controversy now raging in various historical, genealogical and treasure-hunting circles whether or not J. Frank Dalton was really the outlaw Jesse Woodson James. In REALITY, very little about this issue has ever been DEFINITIVELY PROVEN one way or the other. Evidence exists that J. Frank Dalton was recognized or known as Jesse Woodson James by certain people as early as the late 1880s, and that Dalton had been recognized as Jesse Woodson James by various people THROUGHOUT the whole time period extending from the late 1880s-1951. Therefore, strictly speaking, it simply isn't true that Dalton was reputed to be Jesse Woodson James beginning in 1947/1948. It was on May 19, 1948 ( on the front page of the "Lawton Constitution" newspaper ) that an affidavit was made public that Dalton had written on April 24, 1948, stating that he was in fact the famous outlaw Jesse Woodson James. This newspaper article was the first the general public became aware that Dalton might be Jesse Woodson James, but there were several people ( who could be cited ) extending all the way back to the 1880s who were well aware of this possibility. Much of the controversy currently surrounding this issue is based on the provocative research findings of 3 men: (1) Henry J. Walker ( 1908-1970 ), who studied the life of Dalton for about 13-14 years and published his findings in a book titled "Jesse James THE OUTLAW" ( 1961 ); (2) Rudy Turilli ( 1919-1972 ), who scoured the U. S. for about 18 years for facts about Dalton, and then published his findings in a booklet titled "I Knew Jesse James" ( 1966 ) (3) Orvus Lee Howk ( 1905-1984 ), whose in-depth 35-year research into the life of Dalton resulted in two books on the subject, namely, "Jesse James and the Lost Cause" ( 1961 )( written under the pseudonym Jesse L. James ), and "Jesse James Was One of His Names" ( 1975 ) by Del Schrader and Jesse James III ( = Howk ). Additionally ( and very importantly ), many of the results of the PRESUMED exhumation of Jesse Woodson James at Mt. Olivet Cemetery ( Clay County, Missouri ) in 1995 are questionable and widely disputed, and the implications of the failure to exhume J. Frank Dalton at Granbury, Texas in 2000 have kept the debates surrounding Dalton at a high level of engagement among people who are concerned with these historical mysteries and issues. Unfortunately, many people who are NOT well-informed on these subjects appear to be of the opinion that within the last 14-15 years it has finally been IRREFUTABLY PROVEN that J. Frank Dalton was nothing more than a Jesse James imposter, but, IN REALITY, to date no such IRREFUTABLE PROOF has ever been produced by anyone. This Wikipedia article is an attempt to gather together in one place some of the better-known information on J. Frank Dalton, in order to help stimulate objective research into his life. In my opinion this is an important and interesting topic which definitely deserves its own article. I disagree that the article as written contains a lot of nonsense, rather it is simply an account of many of the odd facts, events and topics involved in J. Frank Dalton's life. Some of these events and topics may appear to some readers to have the character of nonsense, but anyone who actually takes the time to research Dalton's life will find these events and topics to be very real indeed ( although quite unusual ). The subject of Dalton's life is definitely a difficult and convoluted topic which cannot be satisfactorily treated in a brief or summary manner. ( This opinion was written on Aug. 21, 2009 )

Primary reason: WP:DICDEF. Secondary reason: article is clutching at straws to appear notable--just look at the wikilinks.

Sorry, but how many fictional birds of prey are there? This is far too specific a list to go anywhere, unless there's a bird of prey genre of fiction I'm not familiar with. Currently there are only two entries, both from the same comic book. I just don't see this going anywhere. Maybe there's another entry or two, but that still won't make it notable.

The result was keep/merge. There is consensus here to retain the main list, and to accommodate much of the content from the other individual articles somewhere. Magioladitis has smerged many of these articles to Humanx Commonwealth, which is a good point to start addressing this situation from. Recommend that a central discussion be started at Talk:List of Humanx Commonwealth planets on how best to incorporate the individual articles and see if there is consensus for a mass merge. Should this discussion falter, the articles should be relisted in smaller batches. Skomorokh 23:25, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An obvious POV-fork from 2008 South Ossetia war and Humanitarian impact of the 2008 South Ossetia war. The relevant section in the main war article is 2008 South Ossetia war#Humanitarian impact and war crimes. Offliner (talk) 12:46, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Source 1: Just Putin bashing. That's not even backed up. Source 2: "But a dozen interviews with those who fled the fighting, and a trip through seven Georgian villages just south of the fighting, indicated the killing this month was not that systematic, nor on that scale — based on what is known so far." Source 3: “Detailed analysis of the damage depicted in five ethnic Georgian villages shows the destruction of these villages around the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali, was caused by intentional burning and not armed combat.” – Houses not people Source 4: “The organization’s researchers in South Ossetia on August 12, 2008, saw ethnic Georgian villages still burning from fires set by South Ossetian militias, witnessed looting by the militias, and learned firsthand of the plight of ethnic Ossetian villagers who had fled Georgian soldiers during the Georgian-Russian conflict over the breakaway region of South Ossetia” – again houses, not people. Source 5: “The Russians are starting to control the situation,” said Shura Terashvili, 68, one of the few people left in the village of Brotsleti, south of Irganeti. “Yesterday a Russian armoured vehicle stopped and asked if everything was okay. There have been some food shipments from Tbilisi too,” she said, adding that she rarely ventured on to the main road for fear of what she might run into.” Source 6: “After Georgian soldiers stormed South Ossetia and killed Vitaly Guzitayev’s friend, he hid in the woods. Once the Georgians left, he set fire to the elegant brick homes of ethnic Georgians who lived nearby.” – I’ve yet to wait Putin get blamed for this. Source 7: Anyone who thinks Brezhnev was better then any Russian ruler is on crack. Maybe he was better then Yeltsin the Alcoholic, but other then that… Biophys, read your own sources. Otherwise I will use them to counter your own points. HistoricWarrior007 (talk) 21:18, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on renaming proposal: We should answer one question: did ethnic Georgians decided to leave themselves, or were they forcefully thrown out of the country by Ossetian militias. If Georgians decided to leave themselves with the retreating Georgian forces, that would clearly not amount to ethnic cleansing. If ethnic Georgians (yes, people, and not houses) were forcefully driven of the Republic of South Ossetia, than it amounts to ethnic cleansing. One more thing: ethnic cleansings are a systematic measure, they are started on government level, and are supported by state forces on state, level, i.e. state versus ethnos, not ethnos vs. ethnos. Otherwise that would be an inter-ethnic conflict. FeelSunny (talk) 07:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page was nominated previously and got an overwhelming and unanimous "delete", see here [46]. I can't see what's changed.

Should be an open and shut case. Google news turns up about 100 results, but consider A) How many of those are actually authoritative heavy metal sources? B) How many of those are just describing Ill Nino with a convenient term? C) How many of those are actually describing a genre in detail, as opposed to using a simple phrase?

- I'm struggling with this one. Searching for the young lady's name in English reveals a few sources, but it's also productive to search for her name in Nepali characters. I'm getting links like this, from Weeklynepal.com; but Nepali isn't one of my languages and I can't find an online translator that would let me even being to evaluate it. And I can't make head nor tail of this, either, for the same reason.
There is one (1) Wikipedian editor who lists themself as an available translator from Nepali to English. This is Eukesh, and I note that Eukesh has made contributions to Wikipedia on 22 August and therefore seems to be an active user. I believe that we will not be able to evaluate the sources without input from someone who can speak the language, so I will leave a note for Eukesh asking them if they wouldn't mind reading the sources for us.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 01:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
