I have attempted to find reliable source coverage of the notability claims made in the article and have not turned up significant coverage. I have found some passing quotes in local papers, but have been unable to turn up significant coverage that focuses on her individually.

Delete fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:30, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Take another look; I just did a complete rewrite to put the article into encyclopedic style. She gets seven pages of hits at Google News; unfortunately most of them are behind paywalls so I couldn't cite them. Most are not "about" her, but I think the awards make up for the relative lack of news coverage which is specifically about her. --MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about numbers of hits. It's about substantive, independent third party coverage. [1] is the only reference that comes close. I'll be more than happy to reverse my vote if more coverage comes to light. In particular an official reference with citation for “Woman of the Year”, California State Legislature would be gold. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: MelanieN's argument is not persuasive. The pertinent guidelines explicitly state that a source quoting an individual can neither be used to support the individual's notability nor that of the organization which she might represent. As such, rafts of Google News hits that merely quote the subject are worthless. That being said, there is no criterion under which Ms. Wagstaff winning awards confers notability absent coverage in reliable sources of the same. Ravenswing 10:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Dos Hogares episodes

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

Typically, a list of this sort would contain a list of episodes of the series. In fact, it can be found at Dos Hogares (season 1). And if there's a season 2, a list of episodes for that season will be easily found at Dos Hogares (season 2). I don't think both the season article and this list need to exist.

Redirect to the first season article until and unless there is a second season of content. Jclemens (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the suggested redirected target has been speedied as a copyright violation. What that does to the prospects for this article I don't know, but with the possible exception of Stuartyeates' comment the previous rationales may need to be revised somewhat. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:56, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There's really no point in this article now, even a redirect. It severly lacks content, and anything worth saving (which I don't think there is) can be merged to Dos Hogares. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Buffalo City FC

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

How is a team that played only one season and then sold themselves to another club notable? Bbb23 (talk) 15:26, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although I thought it was implied, to clarify my nom, the article does not meet WP:GNG.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:08, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - In the same way that some 22nd division amateur league in England is notable. Mohrflies (talk) 19:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - As per all other teams that have played in the NPSL. JonBroxton (talk) 20:13, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If every team that has ever played for the NPSL, even if for only one season, is deemed inherently notable, I would consider withdrawing my nomination pending non-sports editor comments (if any), even though I think it counts more as practice than as satisfying notability requirements. I would note, though, that Buffalo City FC doesn't appear to be listed on former teams on the NPSL article page, but maybe that's just an oversight.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Nominating comment is useless to me. "How is a team that played only one season and then sold themselves to another club notable?" There is no inherent "oh yeah, its not" response to this, it depends on coverage. TV shows that have only aired one episode have been found notable. It appears that every current(and a score or so former) team in the National Premier Soccer League has a page, i don't see an advantage of deleting this one and having a comprehensive encyclopedia.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 13:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can smell my farts if that suits your fancy, my main point is that the nomination statement is worthless.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep: Nom has neither proffered a valid ground for deletion, nor advocated deletion, nor advocated any action at all. Come to that, there is nothing in any guideline precluding notability for a team that has existed a single season; there are hundreds of examples of the same which meet applicable standards. Ravenswing 10:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get these kinds of !votes. If the nominator's reason for nominating the article is unpersuasive, that is not a rationale to speedy close the AFD, especially where other participants in the discussion have offered better arguments. causa sui (talk) 17:50, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's lovely to be a punching bag.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that the nominator has given an unpersuasive reason to delete. It's that the nominator hasn't given ANY reason to delete, nor even advocated deletion or any other action. That being said, it's not that the two Delete proponents have offered "better" arguments so much as they've expressed arguments at all. Nonetheless, a speedy close is a perfectly proper way to handle a broken nomination. In the nom's shoes, I would have worried less about hurt feelings than about fixing the AfD to reflect a proper nomination, complete with valid deletion criteria, but that's just me. Ravenswing 19:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is it's a waste of time to argue with you. I gave a reason to delete. I just phrased it as a question instead of as a statement. I nominated several articles in this area at about the same time. Two have already been deleted. This one is apparently a closer call. What you should have done is simply stated your reasons for why the article should be kept rather than rant about the alleged shortcomings of mine for nominating it. I'm not "hurt", just annoyed.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Why one advocates a "Speedy Keep" result is through a belief that the nomination is deeply flawed and/or improperly tendered, on procedural grounds rather than on the merits (or lack thereof) of deletion. I'm somewhat flabbergasted that someone active in AfD, with over 14,000 edits, would need that spelled out, because people advocate Speedy Keeps only about several dozen times a day at AfD, and for just those reasons. Ravenswing 20:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was annoyed, and now you're flabbergasted. I feel better. What I've seen of speedy keeps is that they are usually made when the voter thinks the nomination is patently meritless, not for "procedural" reasons. I'm hungry now and want to have lunch, but I'll look later to see if you're technically correct, despite my personal observations. It sounds completely contrary to common sense to me, but a lot of editors here don't believe in common sense. You can take that as a mild dig if you like.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy lunch (heh). WP:SK states the reasons for a speedy keep, not one of which meets your definition.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:44, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This was a very minor team in a very minor league. The WP:FOOTYN essay suggests that it is not sufficiently notable. There are virtually no independent sources describing the club. Even its External link to http://www.buffalocityfc.com produces a web site selling Viagra. Any information about the team can be captured in the article about its league (or, perhaps a new History of the league article). --Noleander (talk) 13:57, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a record of the history of the NPSL, it is encyclopedic.--Feddx (talk) 16:50, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps a read of WP:ITSUSEFUL will help explain why we don't keep articles for that reason.Mt king ^(edits) 20:53, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In a setup where any new team can buy a spot in the league just playing is not enough, this is a team that (according to the article) played for one year, it's only ref supports the existence of a successor club (Ontario United FC) so absent any WP:RS showing significant coverage, this fails WP:GNG.

Keep Obviously not ground-breaking stuff, (and nor is 99% of Wikipedia's content), but it has historical notability. Deterence ^Talk 04:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A hell of a lot of terrible arguments above on both sides. At the very least, this is an early history of the franchise which becme FC Buffalo, not to mention a valid search phrase, and so a merge here should have been a no-brainer.

Delete - which is the default position in such cases of minor notability, and create a redirect and merge whatever you want (less is likely more) to the parent article. Off2riorob (talk) 22:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete is the default position?--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 01:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thats right. - redirect - just create it - merge - just do it - delete of the article is the direct result. Off2riorob (talk) 01:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First off, those who sited Wikipedia:FOOTYN should be aware that is an essay, not a guideline or policy, so its fairly meaningless. If enough people supported it, it'd be promoted to guideline status. The fact that they only played one season then joined with Queen City FC who had played for two seasons, to form FC Buffalo which has thus far played for two seasons and is still around, isn't relevant. That article says the final team was "not a continuation of either franchise". It is part of a national organization, not just some local club. Dream Focus 01:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mahan Mitra

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

The article was deleted after being prodded, but then re-created per WP:REFUND. The IP requesting the re-creation wrote[2]: Mahan Mj (Mahan Mitra) is one of the leading topologists in India. He is one of the very few indian mathematicians who are actively working in Geometric Topology. He is a PhD from UC Berkeley. Now, he is the Dean of Mathematics at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Belur Math. He is my teacher. If you ask any good mathematician of India (or may be, the whole world, if that person is a topologist) about him, you will know the truth! I don't know why you deleted his wiki page! You MUST restore it as soon as possible. Please do it. As far as I can tell, there is actually not enough here to pass WP:PROF for now. H-index is somewhere in single digits (both in MathSciNet and WebOfScience), there are no significant awards, journal editorships, etc. He is certainly a good and respected mathematician but does not yet pass WP:PROF, IMO.

Comment. I can't sort out what the club is or what they were, so it's not clear to me that this club ever played in the NPSL. The only "source" we have is the club's own website, which, in my view, is not reliable. But, even so, it says, "Although not the same entity Ontario United FC previously was called Buffalo City FC." I don't know what it means by "not the same entity". Then, it says that "the club competed in the 2009 National Premier Soccer League". I think it means that Buffalo City FC competed in 2009. The website also says that it sold its "franchise rights" to FC Buffalo. Then, the website says that the Ontario club was founded in 2011 and INTENDS "to join one of the several top North American soccer leagues". So, we now have the Ontario article AND the Buffalo City FC article. Maybe keeping the Buffalo City FC article (which I've also AfD'ed) makes some sense and keeping the FC Buffalo article (which I have not AfD'ed) also makes sense because it's actually playing, but it would be incestuous to also keep the Ontario article until it plays in something that is considered notable. Ontario is nothing more than a derivative of something else with aspirations.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment English language sources aren't readily available, as far as I can tell. But both the Italian and Spanish language versions of the article are pretty lengthy, so there might be something to this. I'd feel a lot better if someone from Argentina would chime in. (I left a message at the Argentine Wikiproject.) Zagalejo^^^ 00:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I considered !voting keep and adding Template:Expand Spanish on the article to get a translation from the Spanish Wikipedia article. However, it seems WP:CIRCULAR to rely on another Wikipedia article, especially when I am not fluent enough in Spanish to determine if the references are considered reliable. Another negative is the Spanish article doesnt have many footnotes, relying mostly on External Links. I have no problem if someone has confidence in the Spanish sources and thinks a translation would benefit the English article.—Bagumba (talk) 08:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. There isn't much available for notability, but I feel the place is effectively treated as historically significant by the news hits, and these two book hits [3] [4] suggest the same, and given that the club saw it's prime day during the 50's, there might be some more content available offline. The article from the Spanish Wikipedia is very thorough, but none of the information is supported by the sources (given that there are none). The Italian version is more discrete and better referenced, and had this link [5] to confirm the club's participation in Primera División in 1920. The club's history as presented by the city's government is very short [6], but it describes it as having been a precursor in Soccer, "the most outstanding, together with Club Gimnasia y Esgrima, in Basketball", and also the stage for notorious Milonga orchestras — frankie (talk) 15:49, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence of notability is from academic articles on the topic eg Nancy J. Wulwick (1992). Kaldor's Growth Theory. Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 14, pp 36-54 doi:10.1017/S1053837200004387 and others which might be found here [7].

Keep: I think this is a fairly well known model. Like Kaldor's growth model, this used to be a standard topic in courses on economic growth. It is covered in many textbooks and academic articles eg: Joan Robinson's Theory of Economic Growth by Ludo Cuyvers Science & Society,Vol. 43, No. 3, Contemporary Issues in Marxist Political Economy (Fall, 1979), pp. 326-348 or James Tobin, 1990.

merge to the author. If there is no more specific term than this, it would not be an appropriate separate article. If there are actually suficient sources, the alternative to this would be an article on her book. DGG ( talk ) 02:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment. The title is a little odd - but there is some justification for this when looks at some of the sources. The origins of the model are to be found in

* Robinson, Joan (1956) The Accumulation of Capital London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd. AND

* Robinson, Joan (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd.

I think this would make it not so obvious which book article to make and have this in - though this would be possible. Also I think the model might unbalance the biographical article on her so merging it there might be not so good.

Articles which talk explicitily about this mode include:

* Cuyvers, Ludo, (1979) Joan Robinson's Theory of Economic Growth, Science and Society, 43:3, Fall, p.326

* Gandolfo, G. (1967) Some critical remarks on Joan Robinson’s growth model. Rivista di Politica Economica v.57, February.

* Tobin, James, (1989) "Growth and Distribution: A Neoclassical Kaldor-Robinson Exercise," Cambridge Journal of Economics, Oxford University Press, vol. 13(1), pages 37-45, March.

And a synthesised summary of the model here: D. Hamberg, D. (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth by Joan Robinson, The American Economic Review Vol. 53, No. 5, Dec., pp. 1109-1114. This might be a very useful source for expanding and clarrifying the topic.

Also I recall seeing textbook versions when I studied this and it is on the syllabus of some courses under this title. I would prefer renaming it to Robinson's growth model but thought to wait until after the afd. (Msrasnw (talk) 11:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Montenegrin alphabet

Delete. The inclusion criteria for entry on the list appear to be 1) That it is a car race at Talladega; and 2) That the race has been judged to be "memorable". Criterion 1) is fine and discriminate, criterion 2) is troublesome due to the inherent subjectiveness in "memorable", so dropping that and making a comprehensive List of races at Talladega Superspeedway would be more acceptable (although I am not sure if that would manageable, a major racetrack features several races over the years). The current list however suffers from wooly inclusion criteria, and an alternate comprehensive list would be a different article. Sjakkalle (Check!) 18:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability. The sources cited in the article are (1) a link to a colour conversion tool, which converts colour information from one format to another (e.g. from Red/Green/Blue to Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black) but does not mention "Xanadu", nor any other individual colour, (2) a link to a web page about a cultivated variety of Philodendron known as "Xanadu", making no mention of any use of the word to refer to a colour, (3) a web page on the site of a paint company, giving contact information for that company, but not mentioning "Xanadu", nor any other colour, (4) a link to a list of colours, including "Xanadu", not looking to me like a very reliable source, (5) a dead link to a removed page which, to judge from the comment in the Wikipedia article, was another list. So at best we might have had appearances of the word in two lists, which may or may not have both been reliable sources. Not a trace anywhere of substantial coverage.

Cameron Mitchell (singer)

Contestant from a singing reality show. He doesn't differ from the other eliminated contestants aside from the fact of winning a "fan favorite" quiz which is not nearly enough to call him relevant. I'm going to remind the voters that American Idol, a much more famous and traditional show, doesn't have individual articles for contestants unless they become relevant. Tam001 (talk) 10:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't feel that this needs to be re-hashed out again. We'd already reached consensus on the talk page. Also, there's no need to delete this article. That was never on the table before.

Keep The subject has received enough significant coverage in reliable sources in the context of his entertainment career as well as the television show. I'm going to remind the nominator that American Idol is not the standard here. /ƒETCH COMMS / 14:15, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Nothing of relevance can be seen on the article, though. Most sources only talk about his stay on the show, and the only information about his nonexistent carrer is about the fact he is unsigned and likes to write about girls. And the American Idol example is perfectly usable - it's a reality show about singing and articles for irrelevant contestants are created (and deleted) all the time for each season, like what's happening on this one. --Tam001 (talk) 00:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure what you mean by "nothing of relevance". I'm sure his career as an entertainer is relevant to his biography. As for Idol, it's a completely different type of competition show; regardless, each biography should be judged on its own merits and not those of similar articles. /ƒETCH COMMS / 04:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was prepared to wait and see but since this has now come to AfD I don't have any choice but to support deletion based on Wikipedia policy, although I think redirection to The Glee Project#Contenders is probably a better option. WP:BLP1E very clearly applies here. All of the subject's notability relates directly to his appearance on The Glee Project, most to his voluntary exit from the competition. Of the 14 citations in the current version of the article, all but one directly refers to his appearance (and disappearance) from the program. Only the iTunes reference does not, that simply supports the existence of his EP, which apparently wasn't overly popular until he left The Glee Project. BLP1E says "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event and if, outside of the event, that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." Clearly, the overwhelming majority of the sources in the article do only cover him in the context of one event (The Glee Project) so we need to determine if he will remain "and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". Unfortunately, we can't do that. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. However, based on not only American Idol contestants but contestants from every reality series that has ever aired, the likelihood that he will remain a low-profile individual is extremely high, so there is very little reason to keep this article based on policy. In the event that he becomes notable independent of The Glee Project, the article can always be created but at this point he just doesn't meet the notability requirements. While I respect the right of those who have voted to keep this article to vote that way, policy doesn't support it. --AussieLegend (talk) 19:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. --Tam001 (talk) 22:23, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to say "delete" again. You already implied that in your nomination statement. I've removed the bolded text in case the closing admin happens to be a vote-counter. /ƒETCH COMMS / 23:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – WP:BLP1E does not apply here, as that is a policy that was intended to protect people who attracted attention due to their inadvertent association with some crime, natural disaster, or something like that. Once a person has undertaken to appear on a nationally televised reality show, that person is not "low-profile", as they have taken steps to try to attain public recognition. In this particular case, this musician has been the subject of coverage in multiple reliable sources such as the Dallas Observer and The Dallas Morning News, and so meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. These are not passing mentions in articles that are otherwise about the TV show; they are articles about the subject. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:11, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Where exactly in WP:BLP1E or WP:1E does it say that it doesn't apply in this case? If it doesn't apply to this person, then it doesn't apply to, for example, a lot of unsuccessful political candidates, who become high profile only for the election period and yet we discourage articles on such people specifically because of BLP1E. And of course it would also not apply to contestants on national and international reality TV programs, yet we discourage articles on these people for the same reason. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:33, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it's worth mentioning again that he's been covered by the New York Times. He also was just signed to Atlantic Records, just waiting on a reliable source before adding.LoriLee (talk) 11:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's interesting. I thought the Atlantic thing wasn't true (or at least, not official). But I'll keep an eye on that. /ƒETCH COMMS / 16:13, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as subject is the focus of multiple articles in reliable third-party sources, crossing both the verifiability and notability thresholds. That articles mention his Glee Project appearance does not invoke BLP1E any more than almost every article about Neil Armstrong mentioning that Apollo 11 thing. (Not that this guy is Neil Armstrong...) - Dravecky (talk) 21:56, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There's a big difference between Neil Armstrong and this article. Apollo 11 was an event that extended, quite literally, beyond the bounds of this planet. 450 million people (12.4% of the world's population) watched the landing. In many places everything stopped for the event. In Vietnam hostilities even ceased for it. Armstrong has continued to remain notable independent of the event. Apollo 11 is often mentioned, as would be expected for such a globally significant event, but Armstrong is not mentioned only in context of Apollo 11. By comparison, The Glee Project's audience varied between 455,000 and 1.24 million (we don't even have viewer figures for the episode in which Mitchell quit), or only about 0.006-0.017% of the world's population. All of the sources quite heavily discuss Mitchell in the context of The Glee Project so the comparison between him and Neil Armstrong is quite ridiculous. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:25, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - As I said above, he's no Neil Armstrong, but notability is not a competition and a subject need only meet minimal standards for inclusion. Also, if your rationale for deletion is compelling there's no need to personally respond to every !vote. - Dravecky (talk) 03:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're ignoring BLP1E. As for replying, it doesn't matter how compelling a rationale is, people will ignore it for inexplicable reasons and there is nothing wrong with refuting rationales that are flawed. This is supposed to be a discussion, not just a vote. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I did find one medical article evaluating the product and concluding "The medical food (Theramine) appeared to be effective in relieving back pain without causing any significant side effects and may provide a safe alternative to presently available therapies." Some of the authors of that study were from the company that manufacturers the product, but other authors were from UCLA School of Medicine and the article appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, so it can probably be considered as an independent reliable source. However, a single article in a single journal is not enough to satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. --MelanieN (talk) 14:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Theramine can refer to: • a fictional food additive that makes animals grow huge, from the episode Attack of the Alligators! of the television series Thunderbirds; • a common misspelling of Théramène, the name of a character in Racine's play Phèdre; • a common misspelling of theremin, an early electronic musical instrument that is played without being touched; • the trademarked name of a medical food prescribed for pain management. Should we make this into a dab page or simply redirect to the alligators? --Lambiam 19:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You said "Keep - An FDA-regulated drug." Are you saying that all FDA-regulated products are automatically notable? --MelanieN (talk) 16:01, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Sources: OK, we've now cited the American Journal of Therapeutics article three times - once by me and twice by you. That still appears to be the only reference in a peer-reviewed journal. Your other source is the Clinical Data page from the manufacturer, not an independent source. So we are still left with only one reference from an independent, reliable source - and as I noted above, that's not enough for Wikipedia, which requires multiple such sources. BTW if we apply the WP:ACADEMIC standard, and count the number of times that article has been cited by others to help determine notability - Google Scholar seems to say that it has never been cited a single time by anyone. --MelanieN (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying, I really am. Evaluating this source: it is posted at prnewswire, but it's not a press release; rather it is an article from an e-magazine called NGPharma, written by a profesesor and mentioning various "medical foods".

Whether this amounts to either reliable coverage or sufficient coverage is debatable. --MelanieN (talk) 00:08, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Published? Published where? The link is to a blog, and the article does not come from a peer-reviewed journal or other WP:Reliable Source.

Avenue, if you want to userfy it and don't want to delete it, why send it to Articles for Deletion? Ironholds (talk) 16:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the unsolicited advice. Nevertheless, I was confused (rather, I thought about moving it to User: namespace first) whether the article should be deleted as promotional (like one I nominated at AfD was/is about to be) or userfied. Thus, I posted (rather, voted) my opinion. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 17:02, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't advice, it was a statement; AfD is for deletions. If the nominator is unsure, the nominator should not nominate it. Ironholds (talk) 17:28, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I clearly know what AfD means (for the matter of the fact, vandalism too), and posted it at AfD becuase the article was unencyclopaedic. I thought about userfying the article, but figured that few extra opinions would help. Thus, I brought the article at AfD because it was unencyclopaedic, and suggested userfication. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're not understanding your role. An article should be nominated for deletion if the nominator feels it should be deleted. A nominator does not get to comment "delete" or, for that matter, "userfy rather than delete"; the very fact that the article has been nominated is taken to indicate that the nominator feels deletion is the only option. If there are other options, don't nominate it. Ironholds (talk) 18:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think both of you are partially right. Looong story short... Avenue X can suggest to userfy as this is deleting the article from main space. Userfication is a very grey area, with no AfU and can get messy (remember long story short). However, Avenue should have suggested it in their nomination as a possibility and not after. As Ironholds said, "A nominator does not get to comment 'delete'". It looks like two "votes" to delete. Ironholds, do you know of where it says not to do this practice? I commented the same thing to a nominator on their talk page and got a nasty reply back ("I'm an admin" and "you are nothing") that they will continue to do the practice. Bgwhite (talk) 07:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFD makes clear that "Articles for deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians discuss whether an article should be deleted" (not, crucially, userfied, or moved, or anything else) while the userfication essay (I know, only an essay) does not give AfD as an appropriate venue. Which admin was this? I'm tempted to give him a trouting. Ironholds (talk) 08:14, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As written, the article is "spam" and the editor has a clear conflict of interest. So, I wouldn't userfy as the article needs to be blown up and re-written from scratch. There are clearly Google hits on the articles he has written. There is also not enough significant, independent coverage about him. I personally have trouble with this type of person's nobility as I can see why someone would want to write an article and also say keep.

Keep - I've seen enough. Keep as a recognized expert in the field of small business, a national columnist, and author of business books who is the subject of multiple, substantial, independent pieces of published coverage by such heavy hitters as the new media arms of the New York Times and Forbes. Passes General Notability Guideline, quite handily. An article being bad is not sufficient reason for deletion; correctable through the normal editing process.

Comment – The topic passes notability guidelines per several additional reliable sources that were found listed above this message by user Carrite. Per the section 'Basic criteria' within 'Wikipedia: Notability (people)' (WP:BIO), “A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.” The individual passes WP:BIO due to the available multiple independent sources which demonstrate notability and in the manner of which those sources are not comprised of trivial coverage.

Delete: I'm not nearly as sanguine about Carrite's sources as he is. First off, several of them are blog posts, not articles. More than one contains some of the same language ("He has started and exited four companies. Most recently he transformed Warrillow & Co. from a boutique consultancy into a recurring revenue model subscription business ...") which suggest the cold hand of publicists dishing out press releases. Another is a broken link, and another discusses a book by Warrillow, not Warrillow himself. What I am not seeing are solid sources which discuss the subject in "significant detail." Ravenswing 10:51, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article does not meet our notability requirements. It doesn't meet WP:GNG, as none of the references included in the article have significant coverage of him, and I couldn't locate reliable and independent references that could. Sure, I found some blog posts, but that just doesn't cut it. He also fails WP:AUTHOR. Some people may claim that he is an important person in his field, but I'd say that there just isn't sufficient evidence to prove that.--Slon02 (talk) 16:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to "The Cham-Cham", the episode in which the character appears - I'd argue that "Cass Carnaby" is a plausible search term. The alleged cameo re-appearance is provided by recycled stock footage, and is original research in the absence of sourcing to confirm that this second character is indeed Carnaby.

Merge either to The Cham-Cham per SuperMarioMan, or to a list of minor Thunderbirds characters--although I am unsure that there's enough "minor character" content for the latter. Jclemens (talk) 19:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thunderbirds is light on recurring characters; since the majority of characters appear in one episode only, I'm not sure about how much justification there would be for a "List of minor/recurring characters in Thunderbirds" (or something to that effect). I'll add that I have no objection to deletion; I would simply prefer a redirect (given that the article is only a few lines long, and that all of its content can be found in "The Cham-Cham", I don't really see anything that requires merging).

Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Memorable character but spectacularly fails WP:GNG. The cameo is verifiable, since it's mentioned in The Complete Book of Thunderbirds, but I doubt anybody searching for this would be looking for that and it certainly doesn't make him notable. Redirect as a plausible search term. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The fictional character does not meet in anyway the general notability guideline and there is nothing to presume that the article can be anything different from a summary-only description of a fictional work. The article itself does not provide a single reliable source, which means that there is no valid reason to keep it as stand-alone article. As this is not a recurring character, only appears in a single episode and a cameo, is a minor character and there is no significant coverage of him, I do not believe that a merge or a redirect are appropriate. Jfgslo (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Most characters that appear in only one episode aren't notable, and this one is not an exception. Since the character only appears in one episode, it's best to just create a redirect to that episode.

Tagesspiegel is a small, political newspaper with a circulation of 120000, if that.

Antiselfpromotion (talk) 16:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The topical interviews very clearly do not establish notability under WP:BIO. That there are many footnotes does not establish notability by itself. The sources are not detailed profiles of the subject. They are interviews in which he is consulted for factual information about a matter of topical news. The rest of the article is original research about the subject's political viewpoints (with no notability established as a political commentator), as drawn from his own online writings on message boards. Antiselfpromotion (talk) 16:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I read the citations, he was not 'covered' under WP:GNG. He was asked about something topical. Someone consulted by press on e.g. the BP oil spill would not be notable on that basis, even if there had been multiple consultations.

Firstly I have to note that this article is not finished, the “newpage” tag was removed before I had fully evidenced the notability of the subject. The developer and its titles have received significant coverage within the videogaming industry from a variety of reliable, independent sources. Even as a smaller UK developer they have received international attention. A Google News search will display reviews and reports from French, German and American websites. Researching further I can find reviews from Australia, Italy and Spain among others, including coverage in major newspapers like the Toronto Star and The Independent. The fact that Laughing Jackal’s games currently have no Wikipedia pages do not immediately infer they are not notable – you’ve probably heard it argued to death, but “Wikipedia is never finished” – I am currently working on the articles for the titles I consider notable and have plenty of appropriate sources available for them. If it is simply the present quantity of reference sources and/or detail in the article that has resulted in this nomination for deletion then I can continue to work on the article to develop and improve it then I will consent to it being userfyed. However, I in turn fail to see how Laughing Jackal lacks the notability to warrant an entry in Wikipedia. Eldopian (talk) 09:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion discussion is about the company, not the games. I agree, some of the games are notable and should have articles. I do not believe the company itself is notable. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Userfy per WP:PRODUCT: "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right. In this case, an article on the product may be appropriate, and notability of the company itself is not inherited as a result." and WP:CORPDEPTH as I don't feel the references provided describe the company itself in enough depth.
I do recognise the creator's ongoing work and believe this company could in future become notable so I suggest userfying the article to the creator's namespace so that work can be continued and if/when the company can be demonstrated to clearly meet WP:CORP/WP:GNG the article can be recreated. This is a borderline case, IMHO, which is why I suggest this. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 16:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to a reference that provides significant coverage of the subject of this nomination? Unless such a reference exists, I don't see why this company is notable. The fact the company's products may be notable is not inherited by the company itself. --Odie5533 (talk) 19:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Game companies are like record companies, notable based on how successful the things they release are. Eurogamer and others do comment on the developer also at times [28] saying "developer Laughing Jackal seems to know exactly what buttons to press to get its audience nodding along appreciatively." I see two games of its which have articles now with references found reviewing them, and a third one can be created with that link there for their game Vibes(see the previous page of the review at the bottom for it). Dream Focus 04:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the GNG requires significant coverage. From WP:N, "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right.

Comment Being played on-air 22 times by the local radio station isn't exactly national airplay. There are several radios stations listed, but they are owned by the same company, that uses the same website and the same database of artists.... Hehe, being played on the talk, country and classics sister-stations would be a coup. Bekker Records only artist is Lowell Bekker and is owned by him, that is self-publishing. Bgwhite (talk) 21:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't just local radio stations, even if they are all the same company that owns them. Bekker Records is owned by Natasha Bekker, with artists such as Jac Harper and others.

The power of google! I kid. There are several markets that the single has played in, such as New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami (etc.) Even though, as discussed earlier, they're all owned by the same company, they all are eligible as national airplay. They're on each radio station website, which could be considered a valid source because they are not editable by the public nor the artist.

I don't understand. This article complies with Wikipedia's rules for musician biographies. Bekker has received NATIONAL airplay. It's not just because he's important, but I believe this article should stay, because there is nothing wrong with it. Sure, it should be expanded over time with more sources, but it shouldn't be deleted immediately. WP:BAND "11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network."

Delete Fails WP:GNG which expects multiple sources of WP:INDEPENDENT independent coverage. All the sources on Google are from Manilla Standard, but GNG says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." WP:NBASKETBALL does not grant presumed notability to Philippine Basketball League.

- Note: WP:NBASKETBALL is only for people, not teams. –H T D 12:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - True, but it would seem a logical extension that if a player is presumed notable for playing in a game in a league, then sufficient coverage is likely to exist for a team in the league as well. In any event, the point is moot, as the league is not part of the SNG. It will need to demonstrate it passes GNG. —Bagumba (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I suppose teams in a sports league where all of its games were covered in national free TV are notable enough -- this is a step lower than the professional Philippine Basketball Association (all current teams and most defunct teams have articles), and a step higher than the collegiate leagues (the top 2 leagues all have articles on their teams) so to say that this team is not notable is like saying we should AFD Arena Football League or Football League Championship teams. –H T D 04:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - The concern is the coverage, not the level of play. Not being familiar with the league, I can only go off sources I can find, or sources identified in this AfD. Those more familiar with the league have the option to use common sense and overrule the lack of sources.—Bagumba (talk) 05:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is faulty WP:GNG reasoning. While it may be true that there's only one source online (Google News' archive of the Manila Standard), it is inconceivable to say the list that it was only that paper that covered the team or the league at that time. A similar type of article will be the UAAP Season 50 men's basketball tournament (1987), which used the same Manila Standard source. It's inconceivable that the UAAP article be deleted if it's modern-day counterpart UAAP Season 73 men's basketball tournament (2010) exists -- look at the ton of coverage on the latter article. Would it be logical to say that an identical article set 20 years ago be deleted because we can only get one online source and assume there no other sources? WP:GNG also states "Sources are not required to be available online" hence it's suffice to say that sources do exist, not just online, nor can it be easily retrieved. –H T D 18:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff existing is not a strong argument. While online sources are not required, it cannot be assumed that offline sources automatically exist either. Nobody has identified any offline sources. For any of the articles in Category:Philippine Basketball League teams, there does not seem to be any independent coverage cited. All of the articles under Category:Philippine Basketball League seasons list only an external link to http://www.philippinebasketball.ph/, which is only a single source (can't tell if it is reliable or based on user contributions.) Philippine Basketball League itself has no citations and only has external links to non-independent sites. The WP:BURDEN to show Triple-V Foodmasters (let alone the other related league articles) has not been met. WP:V says verifiability is what matters, not whether it is actually true. Editors can argue to ignore all rules because they know firsthand that this team is notable, but let's not argue GNG until multiple independent, reliable sources have not been identified.—Bagumba (talk) 18:58, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Philippine Basketball League has 1,570 articles in Google News, showing that there it passes WP:GNG. As for the article quality, well it is crappy, but having crappy articles is not reason for deletion.

As what I've said earlier, it's pretty inconceivable to declare that there's no GNG for the Philippine Basketball League in the 1990s when there is sufficient coverage now. –H T D 19:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep With respects to the nominator and above editors, the film was titled Choker only during its 2005 festival run, and yes... such a comon name makes searches quite difficult. But when released by MTI Home Video on DVD in 2006, it was titled Disturbance in the U.S. and B.E.I.N.G. in the UK. Armed with THAT information, independent secondary sources addressing the film directly AND in detail are much easier to find. I immediately found quite substantive reviews in JoBLo and Film Critics United and evidence of several other decent reviews... including one in Fangoria. What was nominated one-day after being created by a two-edit account is already looking better and more encyclopedic.

This is a minor and inconsequential character, with just three or four comic book appearences since being created twenty years ago. "It's a parody of Galactus" is all the out-of-universe information we may ever say about it. There are no secondary sources, and with this context, I seriously doubt they exist for this article Cambalachero (talk) 02:23, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources to presume that the fictional character meets the general notability guideline. All that shows up with a quick search engine test are trivial mentions, nothing that indicates that the character has analytic or evaluative claims made about him in reliable secondary sources. Without reception and significance, the article is a summary-only description of a fictional work, nothing to presume that the fictional character deserves a stand-alone article. Jfgslo (talk) 15:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The sources gven so far merely confirm that the character exists, meaning, it was indeed published at some issues of the Justice League comic book. But existence does not equal notability. We can have articles about things from fiction, but if written from an out-of-universe perspective. And that's precisely the problem: that there is no such information. "Publication history" has only one sentence written under that perspective, it can be halved nto two, but that's as long as it will ever get. We can't talk about a history of creative teams working with the character, visual or narrative changes done over the years, regular publications or big crossovers featuring it as the main character, use in other media; because none of that exist. As I said, "three or four comic book appearences" is all. Expansion is not possible, the only way to expand would be to explain into even higher detail the plot of those issues, which is a big no-no.

Ralph Townsend

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

Biographical article of a school headmaster which does not demonstrate notability. Previously ProD'd but this was removed with only one of several issues contested.

Dr Townsend may be notable within a small academic circle, but there is no demonstrating of overall notability.

Being a headmaster of a school is not, in itself, notable.

While Dr Townsend has been involved with several wider programs, none of these have been large or influential organisation. For a headmaster of any school (public or state) involvement in these programs is simply part of the job.

While I recognise this is not enough to rule out notability, a Google search for Ralph Townsend does not provide any sources beyond those from the school, from social media sites, or from articles mentioning Dr Townsend in passing.

As it stands at the moment, a majority of the article is either a) providing an unsourced description of his teaching career, or b) listing the 10 schools involved in a partnership program. The single source in the article simply confirms that he is the Headmaster of the college.

I am sure that Dr Townsend is a good headmaster who has a positive influence on those around him. But sadly he does not have the notability required for a Wikipedia article. Guycalledryan (talk) 17:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Guardian article referenced in the article has significant coverage of Townsend, being about his reform programme for the school, and the Tablet article has him as its subject, but I don't know how much coverage there is beyond the one fact sourced to it (a snippet can be seen here). There is also an article in Country Life about him [34] and some coverage in these news sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but stub. Headmaster of three schools is enough, and can be sourced. But the text of the article is essentially the same as his staff bio at Winchester. Archive.org only has the winchester page back to 2010 but it has been included as a link here since the creation of the article in 2007. I'm not certain it's a copyvio (if I were I'd tag it for a G12 speedy deletion) but I don't think it's appropriate. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:31, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep — he is in fact listed in Debrett's People of Today, which is at least as important as who's who, and possibly better, as one can be removed from it as well as added to it: "Dr Ralph Douglas Townsend."

Keep If Debrett's People of Today includes him in their list of Britain's most distinguished figures, then he is notable. Dream Focus 10:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Debrett's People of Today is a vanity publication with over 25,000 British entries - surely we are a bit more selective. People of Today's selection parameters are far more liberal than Wikipedia's notability criteria. The main problem with this article is that it is a direct copy from the school website. Some independent (of the school) content would solve many of its problems.John beta (talk) 16:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

query— i'm not disputing what you say, but i'm wondering in what sense you mean that debrett's is a vanity publication? — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 16:49, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is he is the UK Who's Who, which nobody has accused of being a vanity publication? The copy-vio is an issue, though. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:55, 19 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

He is in Who's Who, yes, and that is certainly not a vanity publication (although I have seen ill-informed editors describe it as such in AfDs). One is invited to be in WW - one does not apply or pay to be in it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:00, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And the same goes for Debrett's People of Today. John beta seems to be confusing these publications with certain others. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Phil Bridger, I'm not confused - you nominate yourself for inclusion in Debrett's People of Today (unlike Who's Who) Under this type of business model there is an expectation that people listed will buy a copy. That said, I'm not saying that this isn't a legitimate business model, and certainly not a scam. John beta (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Neither cdrkit nor dvd+rw-tools are actively maintained anymore which makes cdrskin along with the non-GPL cdrtools the last remaining optical disk writers for Linux and alike operating systems (especially when it comes to Blu-ray support). It's included in Debian, Fedora, and AFAIK also Ubuntu and IIRC Debian's Blu-ray installation media were created using cdrskin. With optical disk recording fading away, this software's popularity may not set the world on fire but it should be enough to justify an article. I try to find sources as reference. Give me a few days time, though. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 01:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What I suggest we do is come up with a suitable article name and merge all of these together to retain the content and refs. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:54, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By “all these” do you mean cdrtools, cdrkit, and cdrskin? If yes, it would not make any sense. Except for being an recording application, it has nothing to do with the other two. I've extended the cdrskin article to cover all libburnia components. Whether or not the article should be renamed/moved to libburnia is not of any importance to me, though.
After some digging I found out that libburn is used as sole recording back-end for Xfce’s Xfburn. Since Xfce is a pretty popular X11 desktop environment, the notability should now be proven. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 02:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except for the fact that Wikipedia's notability guideline has nothing that says that an article like this is notable. SL93 (talk) 02:43, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the notability guidelines say that “editorial judgment” would justify a separate article if it were “unwieldy” elsewise. cdrskin/libburn acts as sole back-end for Xfburn and optional back-end for Brasero, K3b, etc.
Xfburn is discussed shortly in Xfce, while Brasero and K3b have their own articles. It would be – as notability guidelines say – “unwieldy” to discuss all possible back-ends in each article, so the “editorial judgment” is that the front-ends are discussed where they are fit (either in their own articles or as sub-chapter of the organization that produced the front-end) and that the various back-ends are discussed in their own articles. So the only question would be the name for the article. Should it stay cdrskin or rather libburnia? --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 11:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although I'd make it only a subsection of an article on libburnia (which doesn't exist yet). The website seems to be currently broken, though. The cdrskin is actively uploaded to Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux at least (e.g. Ubuntu 1.1.0.pl01 changelog, Arch 1.1.4) and the project seems to be more alive than cdrkit and cdrtools. It is commonly said that the Linux distributions will drop cdrkit at some point in favor of libburnia (and cdrskin is the compatibility wrapper afaict) to get a codebase independent of cdrtools. The conflicts of the cdrtools maintainer are all over Wikipedia, too. For the sake of the sensibility of this subject, I'd avoid debateful deletions. --Chire (talk) 08:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Cdrskin#libburnia_overview discusses libburnia; when looking for notability, you should include libburnia which is also covered by this article. If you find libburnia more relevant, you should propose a rename and help rewriting the article accordingly. It's a editorial matter whether or not to put the libburina project in front or the probably more user-visible cdrskin wrapper. --Chire (talk) 08:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
