Autobiography of professional musician, unsourced since 2009. I can't find evidence of notability per WP:BIO, but people who can read Polish may be able to. Sandstein 12:01, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a rusted-on Harry Turtledove fan, I'd really like to keep this article. However it would appear to fail the test for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and the test for being the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself with at least some of these works serving a general audience. As always, more that happy to be proved wrong. Shirt58 (talk) 10:47, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted as it just duplicates topic of Mango juice.There's no link or citation suggesting that Mango juice can be considered as a cuisine.It's article is also probably wrong. Max Viwe | Wanna chat with me? 10:26, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Mango - the article's in bad shape, but this dish isn't really the same as Mango juice, it's pulped, sugared mango. There's one piece of significant coverage in reliable source: [1], but unless more turns up there's no indication that the dish meets WP:GNG. I'll clean it up now.

Delete - Does not seem to assert any particular claim to notability in the text of the article, and I do not see any relevant Google News items, so it appears to fail WP:GNG. Strikehold (talk) 03:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment (leaning toward delete). I do think that an American high school's athletics program is generally worthy of mention in the school's article, but would never (or almost never) need to have its own article; the organizational problem here is that the team plays for three different schools. This information is already included at the article Lincoln Trail Conference as well as mentioned in the articles for Midland High School (Illinois) and Henry-Senachwine High School. (The third school in the coop, Lowpoint-Washburn High School, does not appear to have a Wikipedia article.) A merge and redirect to Lincoln Trail Conference might be appropriate, but as long as the term can be found at that article by searching "River Valley Coop" I suppose the merge/redirect is unnecessary.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

25 to Life (Eminem song)

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

This is a charted song from a main album. It has no independent coverage and is poorly written. Per WP:NSONGS it is not notable for an independent article Lil-unique1 (talk) 00:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree-no reason for AFD . The song is is a billboard charting song and one of the most liked from an album which sold 1.1 million copies in its first two weeks. I don't see a reason for deletion.

No reason for this AfD. Just redirect it. I'm the creater so I would care most to vote to keep it. Red Flag on the Right Side 00:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment, Yes but often enough when i've done that there is always one editor who persists re-opening the article. This way there will be a consensus to keep the article redirected. If that's the case then pretty much everyone will vote to redirect. Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:15, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing notable about this article is that it charted in Canada and the US. The rest of the article is irrelevant and unsourced. Due to the fact that at least 3 other songs from this album that weren't singles charted, we should delete this article and make a referenced table like so: (with the correct chart positions filled in and other charts if they made it there) Ground Z3R0 002 00:44, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to A Wizard in Rhyme. There is a consensus to merge, though the target could be the author's page or to the series page. I am concerned that both those pages are unsourced. However, A Wizard in Rhyme seems an appropriate target, and the one I think most people want. That I am using that page as the target does not mean the page is notable, and does not prejudice anyone putting it up for discussion at AfD. SilkTork *^YES! 17:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability. No sources. Article was proposed for deletion with the reason given as "Fails notability criteria for books". PROD was removed with the edit summary "Removed notability". JamesBWatson (talk) 07:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the deletion of those additional articles. Exactly the same applies to those articles as stated above, including, in almost all cases, the removal of PRODs with edit summary "Removed notability". JamesBWatson (talk) 10:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first modern fantasy book, and perhaps to date, the only modern fantasy book/series, to explore how the medieval Christians (in Europe) really saw the world, where the people saw God everywhere, and the Devil always lurking and looking for an opening.Snowybeagle (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another distinction of the series is that the author made extensive use of real-world literature in the fiction in various references, bringing to mind how excellent writings can be fleshed out into "life" instead of being merely dead sentences. Snowybeagle (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

None of that relates to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The keyword here is guidelines - not rules. It means individuals have the discretion to decide how far and how much to apply.

I have consulted other fantasy novel articles such as Terry Brooks' novels - perhaps someone can clarify how those satisfy notability, and that would provide an objective measure to indicate how this series fall short of notability and hence identify which areas these articles can be improved to satisfy "notability". Snowybeagle (talk) 15:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFF - If other article's don't meet a certain guideline that doesn't mean that any article is exempt from meeting the guideline merely because the others don't. In those cases other article's should be improved or removed as well, and not the other way around. I would equally point out that guidelines are still part of the Wikipedia WP:POLICY, and that these guideline's are written on the basis of large community wide consensus. Generally taken they should be followed unless clear reasons to deviate exist, or because the policy doesn't cover a certain grey area.

As for the requirements of an article i would point to Wikipedia:Notability (books), the guideline that deals specifically with books. This guideline is the baseline comparison for any book related article, and a measure to determine how notable an article is. Besides being notable this notability must also be Verifiable - in other words, the claims made in an article must be sourced though the usage of reliable third party sources. I hope this helps, Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 16:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep all books by major author. I also own a copy of this book which means that it was published in multiple countries with many copies printed.

Merge into a single article on the series. Not Stasheff's most commerically successful work, but certainly a lot more notable than much of what passes for notability among books here (I know, almost an WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument). The series is discussed, for example, in Buker's The science fiction and fantasy readers' advisory: the librarian's guide to cyborgs, aliens, and sorcerers and one or more of the books were reviewed in various fantasy-friendly publications. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- VulpineLady, Wikipedia has specific guidelines stating that notability is NOT inherited (nor passed from children to parents, etc.) --Griseum (talk) 17:03, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - This is a very interesting one. I don't think the Britney Spears comparison is correct. I'm on the fence because it's quite likely there's a lot discussed about him and he was notable in his own right, but I also think we have a past-awareness bias, where if someone's old we give them a pass. If this was a current industrialist of a mid-sized company would they warrant an article? On the other hand, articles this old don't have many of the same problems that contemporary articles on people of similar stature have. I'd be persuaded by additional discussion of the individual in sources. Shadowjams (talk) 08:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not all parents of U. S. Presidents have their own articles, but if Millard Fillmore's father has one, surely McKinley is notable enough. I'm surprised that Woodrow Wilson's father doesn't have one. Tom Reedy (talk) 04:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The fathers of 3 Presidents: Calvin Coolidge, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter served in their state legislatures-I started the article about Calvin Coolidge's father and worked on the article about Jimmy Carter's father. So notability is established with these men. On this article I agree with Milowent keep the article but add more sources. Thank you-RFD (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Fillmore's father - Thank you for pointing out that that is an article devoted to Nathaniel Fillmore. The Nathaniel Fillmore article should ALSO be deleted per WP:NOTINHERITED. Several days have passed, and it still hasn't been demonstrated that William McKinley, Sr. is independently notable. I wish people would stop making arguments like "He raised a world leader" which is not a relevant criterion as explained in WP:NOTINHERITED. --Griseum (talk) 01:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - He raised a world leader. Even if, arguendo, the parents of a dead president on the $500 Bill is not per se notable, this guy certainly is so. First off, he was a wealthy enough businessman to pay for his son to go to Albany Law School, a major proposition in the 19th century, rather than merely "read" for the law. Thus, he had to have been a big businessman in his day. Secondly, he had a New York Times obituary, which is one of the best ways to prove notability of a deceased American. Thirdly, there are already plenty of other sources in the article to prove notability. Finally, Melanesian obsession has been making several pointy nominations for some reason, so this nom should also be discounted. Bearian (talk) 17:21, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete His only significant accomplishment of his own was that he "operated a small pig-iron furnace in Niles, Ohio" [3]. Every reference cited is about his son the president, and only peripherally about him. In other words he is not the SUBJECT of significant coverage in reliable sources; he is a passing mention. Being the parent of a president does not automatically confer notability. --MelanieN (talk) 04:37, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You will note that one quoted source in the article says he "was one of the pioneer ironmasters of eastern Ohio". Getting mid-19th century newspaper references to Sr. that predate Jr's fame would require going to microfiche.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 23:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At first as a new user of wikipedia I just want to introduce the excellent TWaver to everyone, The only reason is I think TWaver really deserve it. Secondly, I try my best to describe it objectively, you can see how many customer it already has http://www.servasoftware.com/twaver.php?p_id=18. The reason why it is not "notable" like what you says it is only because TWaver is only focus on GUI of Telecom industry, and it is only a plug-in unit of the software. No company will post the news that they use a plug-in to do software development, right? At last, TWaver is really a outstanding plugin-in for network development, you guys can search "network TWaver".

It's my first article in wikipedia. Thanks. Swinggeek (talk) 03:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the reason why it doesn't satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria, if it doesn't do so then it doesn't warrant an article. However "outstanding" TWaver is, and however much it "really deserves" to be introduced to everyone, that has nothing to do with Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. Finally "I just want to introduce the excellent TWaver to everyone" means that you have written the article to promote TWaver, which is against Wikipedia policy.

Digest Hashing Algorithm

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

Article on a cryptographic hash function contributed by User:Aaboelela, who is almost certainly the Amr Aboelela credited in that article as the creator of the algorithm. Contains no independent references, no indication of notability, and almost no material on the specific hash algorithm itself, apart from promotional language and material that applies to any generic hash algorithm. Also, the externally linked images appear on an e-commerce site that appears related to the creator of the hash algorithm and the article on it. — Gavia immer (talk) 02:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gavia immer, yes it is true that the algorithm is developed by me. This algorithm is different from generic hashing algorithms, because as i explained in the page is that if you give other algorithms two similar items, you would get a totally different hash codes, as they are used for encryption or identification purposes. However, in the DHA if you give it two similar inputs (e.g. images), the algorithm would give you two similar hash codes, and that can help in indexing, sorting, and searching of the images. I believe this is the same way the brain work, it digests data as our stomach digest food.

I have master in Image Processing from UWO in Canada, hence this topic is related to my master research. Also i worked partially with a start up company called vufind to search for images and videos by content and not by text.

Lindsey Cardinale

AfDs for this article:

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

American Idol also-ran. Almost no sources, no notability per WP:MUSIC. Contains speculation/OR such as "In late 2007, it was announced that Lindsey had signed with Aria Records Nashville. Her name has since been removed from their website and it appears that Aria Records has released Cardinale from her contract." (As an aside, Aria Records has not proven notable enough for an article.) A search for sources turned up only information dating from her time on American Idol, absolutely nothing after the fact. She appeared on a Christmas album compilation which is also up at AFD for lack of notability. Last AFD was closed as speedy keep due to disruption.

I hate to badger but I'm not seeing that she meets 4 or 9. I only see "occasional Idol-related performances" with only one show referenced and she came in 12th on Idol, not what I would consider placing. Her biggest non-Idol accomplishment is that she was a spokesperson for a local auto dealer? one non-charting single? I could go for Merge to American Idol (season 4) but anything else would be far too generous. J04n(talk page) 01:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the last two, we're not dealing with WP:GNG here. We're dealing with WP:MUSICBIO, where an Idol finalist meets #9 and maybe #12. Also the WikiProject (WP:IDOL) appears to have dealt with this issue time and time again, and looking through the history of various AFDs, I see broad precedent for the creation of articles on finalists. Tarc (talk) 21:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

American Idol is an elimination competition. There's no "2nd place." There's one winner, and everyone else loses. No one places, ergo #9 does not apply. And that she appeared on the series does not make her the subject of the series, ergo #12 does not apply.Mtiffany71 (talk) 00:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to reiterate what I said in the deletion review I was unsure how to respond to others' comments here, because others are not stating what is insufficient about the sources I added.

comment: When I first !voted on this AfD it was unreferenced. I now went back and have decided not to change my !vote. Other than finishing 12th on American Idol Ms Cardinale has twice performed at Ponchatoula's Strawberry Festival, become the spokesperson for the Bill Hood Automotive Family in Southern Louisiana, switched her major to journalism, released a single that did not chart, and signed with a label and produced no albums in 3 years. Is there coverage? Apparently yes. Of anything notable? I'm not seeing it. This page should be redirected to American Idol (season 4). J04n(talk page) 09:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage of something which you consider notable isn't required, just coverage. Otherwise, were I in charge, we'd have no articles on porn stars or any but the most notable athletes. We've agreed on WP:N as a way of judging notability. Yes, there can be exceptions to it (it's a guideline after all) but if you really want to replace WP:N with "I do or don't personally think this is notable" that's a pretty big step and I'd ask that you reconsider it. Hobit (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If that were the case every highschool quarterback would be notable. I'm sorry but coverage of her appearances in a strawberry festival are not going to convince me that she is a notable subject. Spirit of the law should not be trumped by letter of the law.J04n(talk page) 13:42, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Significant coverage in 3 states is unlikely in a HS quarterback and is a darn good sign of notability. Heck, honestly coverage of a HS quarterback in any detail is rare these days. I've not seen any such coverage in our local paper in the last 10 years. To see multiple RSes providing non-trivial coverage of a HS Quarterback would actually be a pretty good indication of notability. Hobit (talk) 15:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The article needs some work, particularly in the opening paragraph where notability is supposed to be indicated (should mention her modelling, spokesperson and recording deal), but the sources and content in the rest of the article indicates that the subject is somewhat notable. Freakshownerd (talk) 14:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article just does not tell us why she is important, as nice a person as she seems to be. Also, press coverage gives us permission to have an article on someone -- but it does not compel us to have one if there is nothing important for people to know about the person. Also if 1,000 years from now, when there will have been hundreds of Idol-like shows, is WP going to have an article on every finalist? That could be millions of people.Borock (talk) 04:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Athletics at the 2010 South American Games. There are several incidents of individual sports events being broken out into standalone articles, though sometimes, as with this one, there is little sense of the benefit gained, especially when the sub-article mainly repeats the information contained in the parent article. Such practise is contrary to guidelines - see WP:Sports event and WP:AVOIDSPLIT as well as the spirit of WP:Not, WP:MERGE and WP:Stub which indicates that articles which do not have obvious potential to grow are probably best not being created, or if they are created then they should be merged. If there were a gain of material, then splitting is appropriate, but splitting simply to duplicate the material into a new place is not helpful. There are some items of information contained in this article which can be easily incorporated in the parent article (the finishing times), but mostly it is repetition.

Fourthwall Cinema

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

per Wikipedia is not a dictionary, usage, slang, and/or idiom guide and not neologism. Mostly failed verification. The only information properly sourced is that which is related to the film FrICTION (the second paragraph). Basically, it is the only sourced Fourthwall Cinema film and one film does not make a movement. Google Searches for "Fourth wall Cinema" and "Fourthwall Cinema" bring up nothing of note.

Delete. Subject lacks notability. Unsourced claims that certain films fall into this made-up category are or border on original research.Mtiffany71 (talk) 17:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Current Affairs (Event Planning and Production Company)

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

Contested proposed deletion, not mine. This is an essentially advertising article about an event planning business that fails to establish significance. While it apparently has references, they all appear to be puff pieces in minor trade publications with local or limited readership. There's no indication that this business "has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." And while the fact that The company has a staff of 10 may not in itself establish non-notability, the article does not really say anything that suggests that they aren't just another firm in the field.

Weak keep - it is spammy, but several of the sources look reliable - in particular the business journals, which are syndicated and well-known. It seems, therefore, to be barely notable. I am leaning towards a keep, but the "peacock language" has to go. Bearian (talk) 16:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. That some of the sources may be reliable, I grant. But I'm not sure that anything they say, or for that matter anything the article says, establishes the "long-term historical notability" of this business. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 02:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True! That's why I think it's a weak keep. Bearian (talk) 16:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. The sources are very unimpressive - mostly press releases plus a few "business briefs". One actual article, in the Pacific Business News, about the company/its founder, dating from 2008. IMO this doesn't amount to "significant coverage in independent reliable sources." --MelanieN (talk) 04:55, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Re-hashing press releases and appearing in local business briefs is not substantial coverage. Miami33139 (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus with leave to speedy renominate. However, I notice from the article's history that the nominator is the only substantial contributor. Therefore, it might be eligible for speedy deletion under CSD G7. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Baumrind's four styles

Articles for deletion/Baumrind's four styles

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

This content was copied from Parenting style before a major edit there. I didn't intend this article to exist by itself, which is why I had made it a sub-page of Parenting style. All of the useful content is still present on other articles. Rixs (talk) 14:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why not split the articles though? I am not sure if Baumrind's four necessarily needs to be part of the Parenting article. If it is a trend in parenting thinking, it might have enough notability for independent status. Sadads (talk) 11:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This text is fundamentally about parenting styles, and so that other page is the proper place to explain it. Having looked into the topic of parenting, I've found no better theoretical overview of parenting styles. She set out to structure the topic of parenting styles, and she achieved it very well. So splitting it makes no sense to me. The text in this article was only copied out as a backup. Not for real use. I have no problem with the notability. It surely is noteable. -- Rixs (talk) 09:01, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are only two of us that care about this page. I created it as a COPY of existing material on Parenting styles in a sub-page before editing. Then Sadads moved it to be a major article. It is still a DUPLICATE of the material, now reworked, on Parenting styles. This page is an unnecessary orphan. -- Rixs (talk) 19:35, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
