A2 Wind Tunnel

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

CSD was declined, but the article still has no references and no indications of notability. Also, its creator and major contributor seems to have WP:COI. Specs112 t c 13:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep As wind tunnels go, it's notable. I found sources that state that it's used in research, by companies such as Porsche and Trek (bicycles). Lance Armstrong used it for training/research. AfDs on niche items can be difficult. A merge to Wind tunnel may be in order, too. Roodog2k (talk) 15:20, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimeet

Page Wikimeet was prodded as not notable, but some people will want to know what a wikimeet is and where to find more information about wikimeets. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Definitions and information can be found at WP:Meetup, to which WP:Wikimeet redirects. There's no reason to have a mainspace article on the phenomenon if it doesn't meet the notability guidelines. I'd also support a redirect to Community of Wikipedia#Socializing, which links to Meetup as well. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Community of Wikipedia which has various types of meeting and so can explain the topic with good context. Warden (talk) 13:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nathan Helmut Carriage

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

I don't know if this person meets WP: A7, or WP: GNG at all. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 12:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just tagged it for A7. The subject does not appear to meet any notability criteria whatsoever, wholly lacks refs, and even seems a bit like a hoax. --IShadowed 12:31, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- An admin removed your A7 tags. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 14:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't know, why did you nominate it for deletion? You've basically expressed no rationale for deletion, there. Nominate things at AFD after doing the research to determine whether something satisfies the notability criteria, so that you do know. Uncle G (talk) 16:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Uncle G: why was this taken to AfD a full 2 minutes after creation?? By a new editor on top of that (ever heard of WP:BITE?) At the most, this could have been tagged with WP:BLPPROD given the lack of references. And who knows, perhaps that this new editor would have come up with some reliable sources establishing notability. Creating AfDs like this is wasting everybody's time. At this point, I'm not going to !vote, because it is not possible that in those 2 minutes you searched for sources yourself, as requested in WP:BEFORE. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 19:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am sympathetic to the article's creator, and agree wholeheartedly that newbies should not be bitten. Googling "Nathan Helmut Carriage" returns precisely two entries, both to Wikipedia pages. "Nathan Carriage" is more productive of results but none seem relevant. A search for his aboriginal name revealed many references to emus but none to Mr. Carriage that I could find. I am not sure what is the best standard against which to measure this article -- WP:MUSIC, WP:PROF, etc. -- but I can find nothing to indicate that he meets WP:GNG. Given the nature of the subject matter, I'm willing to believe that there are print sources not available on the internet and I encourage any interested party, including the article's creator, to provide them. (I don't live in Australia but I'd be looking for local newspaper coverage.) Ubelowme (talk) 21:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No, I did not bite him. I was trying to avoid biting him because while I could've CSD tagged it, I decided that it might be conteversial, so I decided to get a 2nd opinion here. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:07, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, why does it take more than 2 minutes to Google the subject? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, I am very farmiliar with the deletion policies here, but I decided that this was borderline, so I took it here to get other editor's opinions. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Uncle G and Guillaume2303, taking this article to AfD 2 minutes after creation sounds a little improper. Cavarrone (talk) 06:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Brooks (hypnotherapist)

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

Issues: WP:NOTSOAPBOX, WP:V

The article is explicitly autobiographical and promotional in character, and the overall tone of the article remains unchanged, in serving to promote an individual, their activities, and their publications or websites.

Verifiable, reliable, and independent sources are lacking. Meph^talk 12:14, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All the supplied sources that I can access provide very weak support. The one possible strong source is this Language Pattern Bible book, but that appears to me a non-notable book by a non-notable author. Google searches I've done on Brooks don't bring up anything substantial. Generally the article feels nothing more than a promotional vehicle.—A bit iffy (talk) 19:07, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:N Is the article creator 'Stephen Brooks' or someone connected to this person? The article reads like total self-promotion as if the creator is WP:SPAMing a particular hypnotherapist with the help of wikipedia. --Artene50 (talk) 05:34, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am proposing either to delete this or to merge this page with the page of City Montessori School. Because both the pages contain biography type of article of Mr. Jagdish Gandhi.

Yes, I agree. But this is neither a large neighborhood nor an highly important area. It is just an another urban area within the city of Coimbatore. Not notable for wiki in any manner. Even there is not even a single reliable reference, anywhere.--Bharathiya (talk) 18:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Peeved

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

An unnotable, defunct band. I can find no reference to this band at all in any reliable third party sources. All I'm really finding are mirrors of this article. Amusingly enough, a bunch of (not very good) online dictionaries seemed to have picked up this article to copy as an alternate definition for the word peeve. Only one member of the band appears to have gone on to any sort of independent notability at all (and even that is extremely marginal at best) and it doesn't meet any of the other criteria of WP:NBAND.

England 6s and 2s curse

Comparative Dravidian Linguistics

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

This page should be deleted as it is written like a foreign language dictionary, which Wikipedia shouldn't be. Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 10:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This page should not be deleted for the following reasons:

It speaks to the gap in the literature on Wikipedia pertaining to Comparative Dravidian Linguistics which has hitherto remained unaddressed.
The inclusion of the comparative phonetic table of Dravidian words serves to illuminate the methodology of Comparative Dravidian Linguistics.
The inclusion of Tamil script in the table is in accordance with current academic research in Comparative Dravidian Linguistics which employs Tamil script as the standard script in which phonetic, and morphological research is carried out.
It is, therefore, not 'written like a foreign language dictionary' which Wikipedia certainly should not be.
It is written like any other encyclopedic entry, and designed to be edited, amended, and refined which is precisely what Wikipedia should be. -- புகழ் 11:04, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I disagree with the proposer's reason for deletion: this is an article about comparative linguistics, and it presents some information in the form of a table comparing languages, which is proper.

However, it does duplicate material that is either already covered or could be included in the articles Dravidian languages and Robert Caldwell, and we should consider whether this article content should be merged or deleted as unnecessary duplication. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:23, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nothing useful in this article that isn't already at Dravidian languages. Angr (talk) 18:21, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (if there's anything not redundant) into Dravidian languages. It appears to have been written in ignorance that the latter exists. (There's no separate article on Comparative Indo-European Linguistics.) — As for the standard academic usage of Tamil script, can we at least also have the standard romanisation? —Tamfang (talk) 18:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I considered the option of merging, but (1) the article is basically completely unsourced except for the uncontroversial claim that Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada are genetically related languages, and (2) the article really has nothing useful that isn't already at Dravidian languages. The table of related forms should be deleted no matter what, because even with a romanization tables like that don't prove anything. They're actually worse than useless, because they can mislead readers into thinking they convey meaningful information, when they don't. Angr (talk) 18:51, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, given that Wikipedia is an English language encyclopedia, the chart should be romanized. As for being 'useless', it certainly is not. Enthusiasts who can read Tamil script are given easy access to comparative methodology, which is the primary analytical tool with which linguistic data from each distinct language is manipulated, and knowledge extracted. The reader can easily, and instantly see how the morphemes individually, and collectively converge, and diverge. It really is a treat to see such painstakingly meticulous work presented with such facility. -- புகழ் 16:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, in fact, they can't. A table of cognates cannot show how the comparative method works or why related forms are related. At best it shows superficial similarities, but those alone are not enough to prove that words are related. Our articles on language families are full of these tables – I'm not singling this article out by any means! – and they frankly do more harm than good in my opinion. Angr (talk) 19:50, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There is nothing useful. The so called comparative study is already covered in Dravidian languages. The table just provides translation, nothing about the topic. Anbu121 (talk me) 19:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagree. The table is a sample of the comparative method displaying the distinct phonological, and morphological forms for the same meanings across the four primary Dravidian languages: Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Thus, given the topic being illuminated it is an instructive demonstration of the comparative method in action. -- புகழ் 16:48, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Where is the so called 'method'? I cannot see even a single word in the article which explains the method. The table provides just translation. Anbu121 (talk me) 03:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - "Comparative linguistics is concerned with classifying languages according to language family through the application of the comparative method which exploits phonetic, morphological, and syntactical characteristics of the language under investigation in its analysis." The attached table illustrates how the comparative method is applied to the questions of comparative linguistics in practice. Cheers, -- புகழ் 11:04, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, the table shows some of the source data. —Tamfang (talk) 17:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:NOTNEWS? Because it's a one off article? Then why have we just voted to keep Israeli transfer of Palestinian militant bodies (2012), a completely mediocre piece of blip expansion, of nugatory interest, and a fine example of WP:COATRACK to repeat that there are terrorists in the West Bank. To retain the one while pressing for the deletion of the other, while they ostensibly share the same vice, is a sign of POV promotion and deletion according to one side's ostensible advantage in the media wars, and this, lacking any coherence in principle, means for me we should not make an exception here on the grounds of what, in Shrike's request for deletion, appears simply to be a matter of WP:IDONTLIKEIT.Nishidani (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak ~~keep~~delete Although the article was created by a COI editor, it was completely re-written within a few days of its creation. I have updated the article: it is abstracted and indexed by CAS and The Zoological Record. The journal's website also claims that it is indexed by the Science Citation Index and Scopus. I have not been able to verify that: the Thomson Reuters master journal list only mentions TZR and I cannot open the Scopus coverage list (my version of Excel is too old...). However, when I search Scopus for this journal, I don't find anything. It is possible, of course, that the journal only recently got accepted for SCI and Scopus and that these databases have not been updated yet. ~~Nevertheless, I think that the listings in CASSI and TZR are just sufficient for a keep, albeit barely.~~ Upon reflection, I don't think that inclusion in TZR and CASSI is suffiecient grounds for a keep !vote (even a weak one...) --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:54, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that WP:NJournals is an essay not a guideline or policy (although it confusingly states its a guideline in the text). It doesn't met the criteria there either due to it's dubious reliability. IRWolfie- (talk) 11:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mention NJournals in my !vote at all... TZR and CASSI are reliable sources under WP:GNG and both seem to think that this journal is worthy of inclusion. I think that says something. I'd like to see more, though, which is why I didn't !vote "keep" but only "weak keep". --Guillaume2303 (talk) 11:22, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that TZR and CASSI are reliable sources. Note that significant coverage in reliable sources is required per WP:GNG though . IRWolfie- (talk) 12:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update by poster A further note. Just to point out, the journal has a dubious level of peer review and is not a reliable source for use in wikipedia except to state the opinions of individual authors. (for example see the paper Everything: Non-Foundation of Theory of Everything: Non-living Things and Living Things published by the journal in 2010 which states: "the very concept of space-time has been proved to be a mathematical misrepresentation. A unified theory of forces in nature has been proposed. The theistic Foundation of Theory of Everything also envisages the theory for living things with primary concern of the life of human beings. The characteristics of the ‘soul’ energy has been defined; besides proposal has been put forward regarding the characteristics of the ‘energies’ which being the source of life in all plants and animals.

Delete. Rather than going by WP:NJournals, I think the right guidelines for this case are WP:FRINGE and WP:NPOV. Our current article gives the impression (belied by IRWolfie's observations above) that this is a perfectly respectable journal with full peer review. To counter this, we would need reliable sources saying it isn't, which are unavailable. So because of its inadequate level of notability, we are unable to provide an accurate and neutral article about it; I think the best way to resolve this is to just not cover it at all. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Enamel signs in argentine

Delete. Poorly written, poorly referenced, wrong tone for WP, does not fit in with current articles, and may be a copy vio. Ok, all but the latter are not grounds for deletion but collectively it screams "Delete". -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/merge Making vague accusations of copyvio is improper. Note that Jimmy Wales is today reported as saying "The internet as a whole must not tolerate censorship in response to mere allegations of copyright infringement." The general topic of enamel signs is notable as there are multiple books devoted to it. We ought to start with a high level of coverage and so I have started a stub, enamel sign. The particular coverage of the matter in Argentina might form a section in that, pending further digging. 13:11, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Amy Bechtold

The sources provided in this article barely mention its subject (a living person), they only refer to her in passing in her role as a Military judge, and don't contain anything close to significant coverage of her as either a person or in her official role. The article fails WP:BIO and WP:BLP and being a Colonel also fails WP:SOLDIER DBig Xray 06:12, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. The sources offered are routine personnel announcements, trivial mentions and court decisions the subject herself wrote, making them WP:PRIMARY. None of the usual Google searches turned up anything useful. The best I found was yet another trivial mention. Msnicki (talk) 08:13, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom and per Msnicki--they've already adequately covered the case in my opinion. Gamble2Win (talk) 09:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- This nomination asserts the article lapses from the guideline WP:Notability (people) (aka WP:BIO). WP:BIO has a subsection devoted to more relaxed criteria for individuals who hold a national office, like legislators -- or judges -- WP:Notability (people)#Politicians. Whether WP:Notability (people)#Politicians applied to Bechtold was discussed, at length, during the first AFD. The closing administrator wrote:

The result was keep. Consensus seems to be that national-level appellate judges are notable ex officio.

Usually, when someone considers nominating an article for deletion a second time, they make sure they are nominating it for deletion for a new reason, or at least acknowledges the previous discussion, and says why they think that discussion was not sufficient.

I agree with the original concluding administrator, I think the wording of WP:Notability (people)#Politicians -- the relevant subsection of WP:BIO -- is pretty clear. I think it says individuals who hold a national office, are notable if RS confirm they hold that office.

The nomination states the article does not comply with WP:BLP. I would appreciate it if how it did not comply with BLP could be spelled out.

With regard to the assertion that according to WP:SOLDIER Colonels aren`t inherently notable. Well, since WP:Notability (people)#Politicians says national level judges, like appellate judges, are inherently notable, and WP:Notability (people)#Politicians is a guideline, while WP:SOLDIER is an essay, I suggest what SOLDIER says is not relevant. Geo Swan (talk) 15:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the subject is not a Politician, but a soldier. The creator Geo Swan's arguement of WP:POLITICIAN also fails on "the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article", because there is no coverage of the subject other than taking the name in the articles on proceedings. WP:SOLDIER is still relevant here as the subject is from military--DBig Xray 15:27, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She was a soldier, but is a judge/politician. Having been a soldier does not preclude her or any other veteran from meeting the notability guidelines of any other section, whether they met WP:Soldier or not. Dru of Id (talk) 16:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. What I mean is the Article does not qualify notability guidelines of Soldier or a politician. --DBig Xray 16:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please be more careful to refrain from referring to essays like WP:SOLDIER as if they were guidelines or policies. Essays may be a minority opinion, so it is a huge mistake to phrase references to them as if they were a binding guideline or policy.
I suggest the base comment here is based on a misconception. WP:POLITICIAN has three numbered points, that distinguish between LOCAL office holders and NATIONAL office holders. It makes clear in the 3rd numbered point that LOCAL office holders have to meet all the regular notability criteria. This confirmed for me that when RS confirm an individual holds a NATIONAL office this is sufficient to establish their notability. Note the essay WP:SOLDIER also say a certain small class of individuals are notable solely for the office they hold. WP:SOLDIER says flag officers are notable for the office they hold.

Delete, although the subject is a member of a notable judicial body, the subject herself is not notable per WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. There isn't significant coverage of the subject herself where she is the primary subject of the source, additionally she is primarily a JAG Officer and not a politician and as such SOLDIER is relevant.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please explain why you think the advice in the essay WP:SOLDIER is relevant? What do you think the relationship between WP:Notability (WP:GNG points to a subsection of WP:Notability) and WP:POLITICIAN (WP:POLITICIAN points to a subsection of WP:Notability (people))?? Other than a sidebar WP:Notability does not mention any other notability guidelines. I checked some of the other notability guidelines mentioned in the sidebar. WP:Notability (academics) specifically says this:

This guideline is independent from the other subject specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH etc.: it is possible for an academic not to be notable under the provisions of this guideline but to be notable in some other way under one of the other subject specific notability guidelines. Conversely, if an academic is notable under this guideline, his or her possible failure to meet other subject specific notability guidelines is irrelevant.

Now WP:Notability (academics) isn`t relevant here. But it raises the important question -- do the more specific notability guideline amend and supercede more general ones? Why have any additional more specific notability guidelines if they don`t amend and supercede WP:Notability? Geo Swan (talk) 03:26, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The subject does not pass WP:GNG AND WP:SOLDIER, as for this specific discussion of notability there is not need to discuss whether one supersedes another as it is my opinon that the subject has not received significant coverage as mentioned in GNG (a more general notability guideline) to be considered notable. Additionally the subject does not pass any of the categories stated in SOLDIER. Moreover I do not see the position, as others may, as a judge in a possibly notable military judicial body to warrant the judges notability due to POLITICIAN. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 11:04, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IAR Keep- WP:Soldier is only relevant in that its suggestions for notability have not been met, and no one here has even suggested they have. Judges fall under WP:Politician, and national level appellate judges have by common outcomes been determined to pass, whether associated with the military or not. The only area the article fails, and if nothing is available offline will continue to fail, is in-depth coverage. Add Bosnia to the list of deployments, it's still insufficient.

Keep I don't know the exact status of the USCMCR, but I'm pretty sure it falls somewhere in "international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office". So even if a high military court is below national office, she would pass WP:POLITICIAN. Also, for those of you talking about one guideline/policy superceding another one, there is no superceding, there is no policy that "trumps" another one. They are all relevant, and meeting only one criteria in one notability guideline means that the article should be kept. Failing one guideline does not mean an article should be deleted. It must fail all of them. The Steve 08:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination.

I am discounting the "keep" opinions by Yerevanci and VartanM (because they contain personal attacks), and by Sprutt, Eupator and Hiosn (because they do not address the arguments put forth for deletion). This leaves us with 4 "delete", 1 "redirect" and 1 "keep" opinion. Although I give less weight to the "delete" opinion by Angel670 (because it is just a bare assertion), this is sufficient to find a consensus that we should not have a separate article on this topic: It is not my job as closer to determine whether the nominator's analysis of sources is correct, but all except one of the (non-discounted) opinions expressed in this discussion agree with him. The article is consequently deleted. Whether it should redirect anywhere, and where to, is a separate editorial decision. Sandstein 05:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Artsakh

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

This article survived 3 AFDs, but still remains nothing but original research. It has only one direct reference, Samvel Karapetian, which is a nationalist author from Armenia. Even if we consider the topic of this article to be a nationalist concept existing in Armenia, one source is not sufficient to establish notability. All the info contained in the article is WP:SYNTH, i.e. the creators took verifiable info from reliable sources that never mention "Northern Artsakh" and included it in the article to make it look as if all those sources describe this alleged historical region, which they don't. For example, August von Haxthausen never uses the term, but he is quoted nonetheless. The same with statistics. None of them relate to "Northern Artsakh", those are just statistics from various Soviet administrative units, and the USSR never had any administrative division or geographic or political concept called "Northern Artsakh". The map is also an original research, it does not come from any reliable source and represents the idea of the creator. It is time for the community to make the final decision about this OR article. Grandmaster 05:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, looking into the history of the article, there appeared to be a consensus at talk that this article be merged into some other article, even though the opinions differed to which one exactly. Talk:Northern Artsakh#Merge But once the article was merged, the merge was reverted: [7], and subsequent edit war with involvement of anon IPs and one registered user resulted in the article remaining. And looking at the last AfD, which I missed, it looks like the editors commenting there mixed mentions of northern Artsakh (i.e. northern part of the region called Artsakh) in some literature with the alleged geopolitical notion of "Northern Artsakh", the latter meant to include large territories beyond the region of Artsakh/Karabakh, such as Ganja, Gazakh, etc, up to the border of Azerbaijan with Georgia.

This is Artsakh (in green) up to the 9th century. This map clearly shows that its historical borders.

Keep First of all, the region was called Artsakh long before Turkic tribes appeared in the region and called it Karabakh. The Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast borders do not have anything to do with historical Artsakh's borders, look at the map on the right.

Yes, I do agree that the term Northern Artsakh is relatively new, but I can't agree that Samvel Karapetyan's 2004 book is the only source on that topic.

Here are two articles from newspaper Yerkir from 1991 that refer to the region (especially Shahumyan) as Northern Artsakh:

Also, isn't Western Azerbaijan (political concept) the same? I will agree to delete this article, only if that article would be deleted as well.

Before calling S. Karapetyan a nationalist, please read more of your president's speeches, for example the one saying our main enemies are Armenians of the world, which sounds fascist to me personally as an Armenian.--Yerevanci (talk) 17:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yerkir is not a third-party source either. Parishan (talk) 18:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When did I say it's third-party source? The problem here is not neutrality, but the term which is used by Armenians to describe the region. See the deference? This article clearly states that Northern Artsakh is a a geopolitical concept used in the Republic of Armenia to refer the region in north-western Azerbaijan.--Yerevanci (talk) 19:00, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Western Azerbaijan (political concept) and Greater Armenia (political concept) are notable political concepts, because they are supported by notable politicians in respective countries. As for the political concept called Northern Artsakh, I don't see any significant political party or movement supporting it, and no proof of its existence as an actual political concept. It is only promoted by one scholar in Armenia, and therefore is a very marginal view. The newspapers are not in English, and we cannot verify what they say, but then again, assuming that they use the combination of words "Northern Artsakh", that is still not enough to establish notability. Grandmaster 19:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not my problem that you can't read Armenian. It's 2012 out. You can use online translators.

And what is Western Azerbaijan based on? On some dictator's speech to his servants? That's what it seems to me.

Above you said the following: one of them relate to "Northern Artsakh", those are just statistics from various Soviet administrative units, and the USSR never had any administrative division or geographic or political concept called "Northern Artsakh".

And was Western Azerbaijan ever used during Soviet era? No. Isn't it original research as well? Isn't this double standard? --Yerevanci (talk) 19:20, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If a notable politician such as the country leader uses the concept, then it proves its notability. Which well known politician uses "Northern Artsakh" as a political concept? Western Azerbaijan may contain original research, but it does not excuse the OR in this article. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Grandmaster 19:31, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not bringing that up as an excuse. I'm saying that if you delete this article, I don't see any reason why you should keep the other one.

Nominate that article for deletion, if you are convinced that it should not exist.

Delete. It is curious how articles like this come to be created when there is absolutely no basis to it, not to mention the POV nature of the single relevant source used. Even with the minor and rather questionable evidence presented, it is not clear as to when and how exactly this entity was monolithic or existed outside of its surrounding. The article makes references to the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, neither of which controlled a region with such a name. The rest of the article are just facts about eight separate administrative units of Azerbaijan, again without any proof as to why they should be groupped in this article. One might as well group and report on Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein in one article and call it 'Northern Italy'. Parishan (talk) 18:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have an academic book about medieval Armenian architecture that uses the term "Northern Artsakh" as a definition of the region that lies immediately to the north of the territory of modern Nagorno Karabakh (see http://www.raa.am/Hs_Arcax/pict/Images/hs_artsakh_e.jpg). This book is part of a substantial series of books dealing with Armenian architecture in regions that are outside of the Republic of Armenia. That is more than enough to indicate the term's existence. Nagorno Karabakh is often also called "Artsakh" – but that is a modern borrowing of an old name. Medieval Artsakh is not the same territory as modern Nagorno Karabakh, and obviously that medieval territory had a "northern" section. "Northern Artsakh" is now used to define the territory of (and the historical monuments in) historical Artsakh that lies outside of, and to the north of, the borders of modern Nagorno Karabakh. Meowy 02:35, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do think the article's content is rather unsatisfactory. It seems overly concentrated on just proving an Armenian presence, rather than having sources and an account of the region's history make that case. However, unsatisfactory content is not a reason to delete an article – it is a reason to keep it and try to improve it. Meowy 02:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's just one book using the term Northern Artsakh and claiming that there was such a region. One book is not sufficient to justify the claim that Northern Artsakh was a historical region. Plus, the author of that book Samvel Karapetian is not the most neutral person either, the British expert on the region of South Caucasus Thomas de Waal calls him an "Armenian ultranationalist". The article claims that Northern Artsakh is a political concept, but no sources exist to explain how it is used and who are the most notable proponents of it. Parishan is right, 3 years were more than enough to find some sources, including third party ones, if the topic of the article was something that actually existed in some shape or form. The fact that after 3 years we still have only one reference directly related to the topic, and even that one is of a dubious quality, speaks for itself. Grandmaster 04:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This obsession over the last 5 years you have about Samvel Karapetian, all of it based on a single sentence in an article by a journalist who has not written one word about architecture in his entire career, isn't going to run. Karapetian heads a notable research organisation and has authored numerous substantial and specialist academic books on medieval Armenian architecture over some 3 decades. The wording "Northern Artsakh" is also used in the 2001 book "Armenian Cultural Monuments in the Region of Karabakh". For example, from the preface on page 8, explaining what is not included in that volume: "Numerous monuments of Armenian history and architecture still remain undocumented (particularly, in Ghazakh, Shamkhor, Touz, Getabek, Dashkesan, Khanlar, Goran districts in Northern Artsakh; and Norashen, Nakhijevan, Shabooz, Julfa and Ordubad districts in Autonomous Republic of Nakhijevan"). Meowy 13:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

De Waal does not have to be an architect to understand that Karapetian was expressing racist views, denying Azerbaijani people the right to live in Kelbajar and other places, from where they were ethnically cleansed, calling them interlopers, invaders, etc. There's a whole chapter in his book about his conversation with Karapetian. I would like to see at least one third party source, published outside of the region by a notable international scholar, supporting the claim that there was a historical region called Northern Artsakh. Again, to have an article about the historical topic, there should be multiple reliable sources published by international academia. If we are talking about political concept popular in Armenia, again there's not enough evidence to support notability, as it is not clear who are the most notable proponents of it. "Armenian Cultural Monuments in the Region of Karabakh" is a publication by the same Samvel Karapetian. Karapetian is not sufficient to justify an existence of a stand alone article, considering blatant partisan nature of his publications. We need multiple independent and reliable sources to justify the existence of this article. Grandmaster 13:56, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder, over the 5 or so years have you ever consulted even a single work by Karapetian to judge the quality of his output? Northern Artsakh is a recognised academic term used to define this region in an historical context. Are you disputing that an historical Artsakh existed? Are you disputing that its borders extended far beyond the modern borders of Nagorno Karabakh (which is nowadays also often called "Artsakh") on its northern side? Obviously not. So what alternative term do you think exists to define those northern parts, those parts that lie outside of what is now widely known as "Artsakh"? The terminology seems to be modern – but that will be because until the recent past there was no modern Artsakh (i.e. Nagorno Karabakh) for the medieval Artsakh to be confused with. Are we going to go around saying there is no such thing as "East Prussia" because all of it is now part of Poland, Russia, and Lithuania? Also, see page 119 of "Armenia: A Historical Atlas" by Robert H. Hewsen, 2001: "It was in this way that the east Siwnid state of Khachen or northern Artsakh, ruled by this fourth Siwnid line, rose to prominance during the 9th and 10th centuries". Hewsen here isn't talking about exactly the same territory of the article's Northern Artsakh (it does not include Gardman), but to a part of Artsakh whose southern section now lies inside the northern part of modern Nagorno Karabakh, and whose northern section now lies inside Azerbaijan. However, it does indicate a usage of the term. Meowy 15:06, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have an article about Artsakh. If this article is about the northern part of that region, then what is the point in its existence? If "Northern Artsakh" was some recognized entity like North Carolina, then it would deserve a stand alone article, but why have an article with only one reference and very little actual info? Hewsen clearly refers to the northern part of Artsakh, and not some distinct region of Northern Artsakh. Khachen and and Syunik are located within the traditional Artsakh/Karabakh region. So northern part of Artsakh is not the same as Northern Artsakh, the latter is claimed to be located outside of traditional Artsakh. Grandmaster 20:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I expressed the concern some time ago. A very murky irredentist concept with virtually no coverage in non-Armenian sources (as could be verified both by Google test and in Google Books).

Redirect to Gardman (or vice versa) – since Eupator is right that Artsakh and Gardman coincide, it's a content fork to have articles on both. The map in Gardman clearly shows the same geographic area. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that this article should be made a redirect, I'm not sure that it should be redirected to Gardman, as Gardman was part of another region called Utik. Even the Armenian primary source Anania Shirakatsi mentions that Gardman was a part of Utik (and not of Artsakh, or "Northern Artsakh"). The notion of "Northern Artsakh" is a modern invention by Samvel Karapetian. In the opinion of Karapetian "Northern Artsakh" included Utik, and many other regions up to the modern border of Azerbaijan with Georgia. But as I noted above, the ideas of one author do not merit a stand alone article. Grandmaster 11:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Armenian media and various organizations that represent Armenian refugees ethnically cleansed from the region regularly use the term "Northern Artsakh", none of them are tied to Samvel Karapetyan in any shape or form: [8], [9], [10]. Since these territories lie outside of Artsakh for the most part and were not part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, obviously it's not merely a reference to the Northern region of Artsakh.-- Ευπάτωρ ^Talk!! 11:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If "Northern Artsakh" was a historic region, then what was Utik? "Northern Artsakh" clearly overlaps with Utik. The ancient primary sources do not mention any "Northern Artsakh", and neither do any prominent international experts on the ancient history of the region. I never saw any mention of "Northern Artsakh" in the works of Minorsky, Dowsett, Hewsen, etc. The main problem with this article is that no reliable third party academic sources could be found on the topic, and according to the WP:RS, "if no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it". This article have no prospects of expansion beyond the lead, because everything else is just WP:OR and WP:SYNTH, as I explained above. Someone just dumped into the article the Russian Imperial and Soviet statistics which have nothing to do with "Northern Artsakh". If you remove all the WP:SYNTH from the article, then what's left is just one line from the lead, which is also unsourced, and that's what we have after 4 years of the article's existence.

Anyone could find mentions of region in academic sources like Mutafian, Chorbajian and Croissant. They are prominent international experts. OptimusView (talk) 10:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Croissant does not use the term, the only mention of this combination of words in his book is the quote of a declaration by Armenian separatists, which says: They assume the obligation to represent the national interests of the Armenian population in northern Artsakh (NKAO), Shaumyan rayon, and Getashen districts. Source: Yerevan International Service, 3 December 1989. But as anyone can see from the above quote, the word northern does not start with a capital letter, which means that it refers to the northern part of Artsakh, and which for them is the territory of former NKAO, plus Shaumyan and Getashen are listed separately, while they are supposed to be a part of "Northern Artsakh". Same with Chorbajian and Mutafian, they mention "northern Artsakh", i.e. northern part of the region, but not the distinct region of "Northern Artsakh". Grandmaster 20:36, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Croissant cites this term as he recognizes it. NA was enough distinct to have a prince (Sahl Smbatian) and to be a principality. OptimusView (talk) 07:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you write here that there are no reliable sources and quietly remove them from article. How a quoted text could be an original research? OptimusView (talk) 07:23, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"lord of northern Artsakh" does not mean that he was a ruler of a distinct region of "Northern Artsakh". If you search books, you can find some references to "northern Artsakh", but those are references to the northern part of Artsakh, not a distinct region of "Northern Artsakh". By the same token, the combination of words "southern Artsakh" can also be encountered, but that does not mean we should have an article on "Southern Artsakh". We don't need an occasional mention of northern part of Artsakh, we need multiple sources that would describe the distinct region of "Northern Artsakh", its boundaries, etc. So far nothing that could qualify as WP:RS has been provided. Grandmaster 07:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, but... I'm not sure if criterion no. 1 of WP:ENTERTAINER is met here, as it appears that both of them did have several roles in different anime, although of course they aren't the original VAs. What worries me is that no reliable coverage was found for either of them, which is strange since to my knowledge, Indonesia's interest in anime is relatively good, on par with Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. There should at least be some coverage (but then again, anime doesn't get a lot of local coverage here in the Philippines either). As it stands now, I can't see how either of them is as notable as people like Aya Hirano, Ayana Taketatsu, Daisuke Ono, Mamiko Noto, Yui Horie, or even Veronica Taylor and Luci Christian. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 21:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think WP:ENT #1 is an interesting question, as that guideline has several problems in practice. First, for an SNG, this criteria seems to be a little less objective than many of other other "inherent notability" flavored guidelines, there are pretty clear bars for notability for elected politicians, award-winning porn stars, and high schools, but ENT #1's reliance on a role being "significant" allows for a far wider range of interpretations than most of our guidelines. (If we changed it to say a role which had received significant independent coverage, that might be closer to my own view, but such a change would likely be opposed by a number of other editors who would feel that bar too high.) Second, there have been suggestions that voice actors in general, or alternately "dub artists" should be excluded, but even defining those terms is tricky. Third, entertainment coverage tends to be national but not international, so there are valid concerns about systemic bias. So, it's messy. My own view is that WP:ENT mostly tells you when to presume when WP:BASIC is met, and the wording around the notability of people guidelines support this. Entertainers as a rule tend to get coverage if they're notable, and in my view, vice versa; and that a result, significant "significance" of a role (that is, not only the character, but *that* actor's portrayal of the character), should be the bar for WP:ENT #1. That's pretty much how AfDs tend to go in my experience, and it's a view that has been upheld at DRV in specific instances as within admin discretion, but, I don't think we've ever had a formal consensus on these grey areas. Which is a pity. --j⚛e decker ^talk 15:04, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Pete Collective

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

Social group that received some passing news coverage, none of it apparently in any depth. A Google News search turns up nothing current on the group; a search of the Google News archives turns up three short pieces from September 2005: six short paragraphs in v3.co.uk, six short Spanish-language paragraphs at La Flecha (filed under "Curiosidades"), and four paragraphs at the Register, which describe the group as a "pointless bit of fun". Following indications in the article, I found a seven-sentence article in the Sun, September 2007. The article indicates that there was coverage in the Guardian as well; however, a search of their website, whose archives go back at least through 2005, turned up nothing. From the small number and brevity of the articles, I'd say that the subject fails the depth-of-coverage test at WP:ORG, and fails WP:GNG generally. Ammodramus (talk) 02:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Munugala Sudhaker Reddy

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

With greatest respect, it would appear that this article fails the test for Politicians. It would appear that Munugala Sudhaker Reddy was apparently the Sarpanch of a number of villages in Chinna Gollapally. Local government members are only notable if they meet the test outlined in WP:POLITICIAN, where they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".

Delete. Searching Google for ("forks mobile home park") yields nothing that looks like independent in-depth coverage. Searching Google News and Google News Archives likewise produces nothing: indeed, the last produced primarily hits for a trailer-park with the same name in Grand Forks, Michigan, suggesting that the subject of this article is less notable. The satellite view on Google Maps indicates that this consists of 40-50 trailers, completely within the city of Forks; while a free-standing trailer park well out in the country might merit inclusion as an unincorporated community, this is apparently nothing of the kind.

Speedy keep. Notable national United States organization that has many projects in several states across the U.S. (viewed by 5 million people every year). News articles on historic markers and other projects that they've sponsored can be found in local newspapers, such as Leavenworth, Kansas [16] and Buffalo, NY [17]. Their work has been covered in major periodicals, such as The Jerusalem Post [18], Israel Today magazine [19], Jewish Post and News [20], The Jewish Daily Forward [21]. They have international projects in Buchenwald, Germany and London, England. They provide resources for academic researchers, for example in these books (page 48) [22], (page 6) [23]. It's a significant and notable organization. The article needs to cite more secondary sources to make that clearer, but it's definitely notable enough for an encyclopedia entry.OttawaAC (talk) 03:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I followed OttawaAC's links, and did a Google search of my own for ("jewish american society for historic preservation"). I found a great deal of coverage of projects with which the organization had been involved, but no real in-depth independent coverage of the group itself. Asserting notability for the group based on the coverage of the various projects strikes me as too much like WP:INHERITED. Rather against my expectations, I'm forced to conclude that the group appears to fail WP:GNG. Ammodramus (talk) 03:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. This looks very much like a hoax. Note that the "Childhood" section of the article says that Gleason was born in Germany as Emilian Wehrle, but changed his name later in life. Following the Wehrle link leads to an article about a clockmaker who died in Germany in 1896; it is illustrated with the same photo as the Gleason article. The Gleason article was created by an editor whose contribution history shows only a handful of edits apart from the creation of this article; none of those edits was especially constructive, and one of them was what, even stretching WP:FAITH to its utmost, I can only call deliberate vandalism. The vandalized article was Trumpeter clock, which is connected to Wehrle the clockmaker; the Gleason article was created two days after the vandalizing edit, and used the Wehrle photo.

Al-Bukamal protests

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

Simply put the article is in violation of three Wiki guidelines. The main is Wikipedia:Verifiability. The article has no sources to back-up the claims in it. Second. It does not fulfill the criteria for Wikipedia:Notability. Except for one sentence The Al-Bukamal protests were part of the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising the article has nothing to say to the Wikipedia readers. Third, given no sources are provided for the article it could also be considered in violation of Wikipedia:No original research. I think that says it all. Thank you!

  The Notability of the article and its importance is still in question. For such a small incident, which was hardly reported in the mainstream media, isn't it better than to merge it into the article on the timeline of the Syrian uprising? Because, for this conflict, it has generally become a problem where editors have been creating articles on every small clash being reported. Several Syria conflict-related articles have already been deleted because of this. EkoGraf (talk) 18:46, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EkoGraf. Thanks for your response. I think this article's notable because it was the first time before the FSA was formed that armed protesters took control of tanks and armored vehicles. If I'm wrong then please correct me. Al-Mujahid Fi Sabil Allah (talk) 03:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The provided source does not confirm this being the first time rebels captured armored vehicles, and we do not have any other sources on the event. Also, the FSA was still not formed at the time, they came into being two weeks after Bukamal. And actually I think the first instance of a real mass armed uprising was in Jisr al-Shughur the month before when 120 security forces/deserters were killed in the town. Thus notability is still in question given it was not reported on in the mainstream media except for that one day and limited at that. Like I said before, since there is at least one source now, would you be open to the idea of merging it to the Syrian uprising timeline article? And it seems that EllsworthSK backs-up this idea. EkoGraf (talk) 14:16, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not responding 😜Anyway, I think it should be merged. Al-Mujahid Fi Sabil Allah (talk) 00:53, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so, if you are in favor of a merge, as well as EllsworthSK, I, as the editor who nominated it for deletion, would change my opinion to merge. Since we have at least one source now. EkoGraf (talk) 23:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with main article or Deir ez-Zor during the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising article for the lack of notability. There were A LOT of protests in Syria during last year, in a lot of them military personell defected and riot ensured, creating separate article about each of them would lead to numerous content forks.

Konge

Neither linked article refers to "konge", which is (sure enough) the Danish and Norwegian word for "king".

It looks like the page was created as a redirect to History of Norway, then became a redirect to History of Denmark, and now it's trying to compromise by linking to both.

  - I don't understand what those sources have to do with this article. When I run them through an automated translation, they appear to be searches for the Korean words for "inspiration" and/or "three products". This AfD is supposed to be about the word "younggam" as a title for old men. Even if all the results in the search were mistranslated and should have said "elderly man" instead of "inspiration", that would just show use of the word; it wouldn't show discussion of the word. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:53, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of reliable sources. Only one source is cited, and that's a Last.fm page that appears to be a direct copy of the article.

Delete. The company's website link leads nowhere; I found a number of different listings that say essentially the same thing as this brief stub (and which possibly makes this a copyvio), but nothing that would tell me (a) what the heck their technology platform is, beyond that it's some kind of bionanotech, and (b) that anyone with expertise has paid any attention to it beyond merely listing its name. I found a reference that cites its offices as being in Greece, not Switzerland -- I doubt there are two similarly named companies, but it's a possibility. There is so little information available about this company that it's hard to say. If I felt this article was sticking around, I'd do something about the copyvio.

This appears to be an autobiography of an emerging artist. Stong candidate for deletion, as does not meet WP:BIO. Harry Simmonds is actually a painter and decorator, and appears to be using Wikipedia to promote his hobby of painting. Reference 2 does not exist. The remaining reference is the individual's own website, which confirms that 3 years have passed since his work was last exhibited. Emerging / up-and-coming is not the same as notable, and in this case the individual has clearly failed to emerge - unless there is other referenceable material to prove otherwise?

Keep I don't think this is an "indiscriminate" list at all (see WP:DISCRIMINATE) as it is a list that clearly focuses on Monday Night Football games. I've reviewed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monday Night Football: Series By Series History and find at least most of keep the reasons given there to be solid and sound (some are not, but they aren't reasons to delete either). The article could use more editing and sources, but that's a content issue and not a deletion issue. The article meets WP:LISTN quite easily.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just about every vote in that AFD is that it may be useful, encyclopedic and interesting which aren't reasons for keeping an article nowadays, and I'm not discussing a cleanup or a merge here for a content issue. Random listing of game by game scores isn't something that belongs here as it's original research and I can't see anything that can't be salvaged. Secret ^account 16:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - 8 editors took the position of Keep: three said it was either "useful" or "more useful" and one said "interesting" -- but not every editor had those statements as their only reason to keep. Don't hold editors from 6-7 years ago to the standards that are set today--they might well have made additional arguments (and some indeed did). Further, these are clearly not "random" listings and it's not original research. It's specific, it's targeted, and it's verifable. The definition of "rivalry" in sports is well-established, and according to the records in the NFL and for MNF, these games are considered "rivalries".--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - And the rest said "Wikipedia is not paper", or Keep end the discussion now, not one keep commenter mentioned any policy (to be fair neither did several of the deletes). I was starting to edit Wikipedia during that time and I remembered people usually commented on "VFD" like what the name expect votes for deletion, and how they liked the article or not. Not everything that is "verifiable" is worth keeping as we need to follow guidelines and policies, but this is a concern. Almost all MNF football games isn't involving rivalries, and the league and television executives decides what games they put for that day. Anything involving rivalries should go on the main MNF page, not in a series by series history. WP:NOT#INFO is not just for random listings on a list (if that's the case INFO would have been removed a long time ago, we had this since 2006). WP:NOT#INFO is mainly used for topics that is just clearly unencyclopedic and violates other policies and this is as clear cut of an example, especially section 3 involving statistics. WP:DISCRIMINATE is an opinion essay and a bit misinterpreted as well. Secret ^account 05:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I made that term up myself and I'm not in article rescue squad, so they're gonna have to pay me royalties if they're using it. But since you're giving me the facepalm, I'll give you a little essay by a South American academic and wikipedian: Deletionism is not and never was a "consensus", not even a majority opinion. It is the stupid and destructive ideology of a small minority, that prevailed by a combination of robot power and a broken "consensus" mechanism that, in any other context, would be called "ballot fraud". It is stupid, because its goal is to move Wikipedia backwards, towards obsolete standards of paper encyclopedias. It is destructive, because it has led to the loss of tens of thousands of good articles and good editors, and earned Wikipedia some very bad press — which, this time, was quite deserved. In conclusion, Wikipedia will soon change, in spite of all shrugs and so-whats. If it does not change course now, radically and quickly, it will just die in a few years. To save itself, Wikipedia must set as its top goal the recruiting and keeping of new bona-fide editors. That includes banning deletionism and any other unnecessary practice, rule or feature that may drive those editors away, no matter how dear it may be to its inventors and users. That includes, in particular [1] scrap the notability rule, [2] delete and ban all editorial article-side tags, and [3] stop the paranoia about unsourced BLPs. All the best (with a bit more hope) --Jorge Stolfi, 28 February 2010. I don't buy every word of that myself, but there's your thought for the day, Mr. Facepalm. Carrite (talk) 04:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Never heard of him, but the sentiment is very A. Nobody-ish. Hopefully this person is banned or retired already, as their opinion in on unsourced BLPs is particularly naive and distasteful. Tarc (talk) 04:20, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A Wikipedia page is poorly-suited for this kind of dense statistical trivia. Despite the iconic history of MNF, there is nothing particularly notable about specific head-to-head series tallies; at best, it is something for the tv hosts to mention at the end of a blowout game to kill time. Straight-up WP:NOT#INFO and WP:NOT#STATS, and taking anything from a 2005-era VfD and applying it here would be like looking at cave paintings for guidance when trying to figure out how to use Photoshop.

Delete. Monday Night Football and the teams are obviously notable; while a handful of these games and MNF "rivalries" may be notable, the vast majority are neither notable nor meritorious of being included in a stand-alone list article. The article should be deleted per nom and WP:NOT#INFO and WP:NOT#STATS cited above. However, the closing admin should consider userfying it for any editor who wants it, and who is willing to attempt to salvage elements for team and season articles.

This article is unsourced, and the subject does not seem to meet notability requirements. Was unable to find any substantive discussion of the subject in searches. Dohn joe (talk) 00:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral at present Haven't found substantial discussion of subject, but there is enough information in reliable sources to confirm most of the credits listed. [33], [34], [35], [36], and [37] from Google Books all confirm the movie role. DarkAudit (talk) 06:45, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - I believe the notability is stated and the movie role is confirmed (here is the IMDB reference). I think that the creator of the article needs to introduce some sources for the television programs as having a role in a movie is not inherently notable (the movie itself must be notable). The claim would meet the notability for entertainers; however, the notability must be "multiple" movies, television, etc. At this point, the only reliable source found is for the one role in a movie. --Morning277 (talk) 19:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep: I think the role in the movie but more particularly the roles in Children's TV in the UK is sufficient. More sources are needed and should be availble: One can see her and her roles on the TV shows via Youtube and although this is not sufficient evidence in itself, I would take it as evidence that evidence should be availble and deletion would be not so useful as a search for more sources. (Msrasnw (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC))[reply]

PS: have tried adding a few more sources. PPS: might be worth mentioning the viewing figures for Play School (UK TV series) on which she was a main presenter were around 4-5 million. (Msrasnw (talk) 08:46, 29 June 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Possibly merge to Play School (UK TV series). Currently it has a list of presenters but no details. Even if many presenters are not separately notable, there's probably sufficient material about the show in print or online to manage short bios of many of them, either in the main article or a separate Presenters of Play School article. Looking at some of the articles about other presenters, merging them might be a good idea as they're not all independently notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:01, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think such a merge/page would be a little difficult to construct and little articles on the notable presenters might be better. I think in Gilbey's case she had a bigger role in the ITV series "Do It!" and one could perhaps push her bio and redirect into an article on that were we to have such an article.
