The big 4

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

Although the four bands are individually notable, I see no indication that a group of the four is notable. Anything not in the individual band articles should be moved to those articles and the group article deleted. —teb728 t c 23:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Violates WP:GA, WP:CITE, and WP:NOTE. Most citations are tabloid articles that do not provide any certifiable notability outside of sensationalism. Most citations are either repeats or are just poorly written. 2dFx (talk) 22:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Much as I would like to remove this woman from the planet, never mind Wikipedia, I cannot but recognise the fact that she is a fairly regular and high-profile commentator on several national television programmes. I am no expert on bio notability guidelines here on wiki, I'd be the first to admit, but I would've thought that this in itself is sufficient. She has also had a presence in politics if that article's sources are anything to go by. The article may need a re-word but outside of that, this article should stay. Pigduck (talk) 00:03, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – as there are 389 ghits on the bbc site alone, ranging from 2007 to 2013, her notability seems beyond question. Oculi (talk) 00:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.67.107.230 (talk • contribs)
Speedy keep The large number of refs immediately show widespread presence. Yes, most of them are from tabloids but that's just a reflection of her tabloid-type, populist persona.--A bit iffy (talk) 04:51, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I came across the article as I was looking for some background on her as she's had significant news coverage today (Google News [1]). Given this, I think she is notable enough to merit an article. davidprior ^t/_c 14:56, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the article to Egyptian presidential election, 2014. The source is provided on that page. David O. Johnson (talk) 06:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Ansh666 02:42, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Struck, barely passes notability IMO. Ansh666 22:57, 9 July 2013 (UTC)~~[reply]
  - ~~On second (third?) thought, not enough to pass. Delete still. Ansh666 03:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)~~[reply]
    - To clarify, this line from WP:CRYSTAL is what has me saying delete: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" (emphasis is mine). This election is not "almost certain to take place" by any means. Besides, there is no set date, per the links below - the closest mention is "which could be held early in 2014", nothing close to a set date. On that note, I suggest an admin move it back to the original title. Ansh666 06:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, userfy to David (the author). Ansh666 06:27, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge with 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. Pburka (talk) 03:45, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, one way or another this election is going to happen at some point, we might as well hold on to it (after all we have an article for the next Palestinian election, because we know it's going happen, if not when).
- Well, the Palestinian election has a definite date, and has attracted enough attention (including delays, so it should already have happened, anyways) to meet WP:GNG. This one simply has not. When a date is established, we can create a new article including it, as it won't fall as afoul of WP:CRYSTAL at that point. (On a side note, having the link be piped is very misleading - the actual article is Palestinian general election, 2013.) Ansh666 17:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep nothing wrong with keeping "next election" articles as we have around WP. There is sourced info yet no date. So there is notability there...and precedence (see National electoral calendar).Lihaas (talk) 04:35, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ample precedent for articles on next elections that have not yet been scheduled with a date. Not every country has a rigid fixed term elction timetable for one reason or another. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It could be decades before the next election, and the information in this article will date quickly. There's not enough concrete information to form a reasonable article. All we have right now is a handful of potential candidates. If the election were held ten years from now, it's unlikely that any of these candidates would participate. Pburka (talk) 17:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is WP:CRYSTAL -we don't know if there will be an election and what kind of election will it be. Merge whatever sourced information in articles about the Egyptian politics. -- cyclopia^speak! 20:53, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A general date has been set; see [2] David O. Johnson (talk) 23:56, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously we need to improve content, but just because a date hasn't been set doesn't mean that there is nothing to write about. People are declaring their candidacy, we know what parties there are, and we have a context of the coup and political pressure from major countries suggesting that there needs to be another election. I would also support reanaming this to something like Egyptian Presidential Election following the 2013 Coup d'etat Edited to add: Hey look, Adly Mansour just issued a timetable! link Peace, MPS (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Then add it to the article. See WP:HEY. Ansh666 02:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the article to Egyptian presidential election, 2014. The source is provided on that page. David O. Johnson (talk) 06:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I've moved it back. See above for why. Ansh666 06:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. A scheduled event, we've got thousands of articles for those. —Nightstallion 10:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:CRYSTAL suggests we keep scheduled events only if they are "almost certain to take place". I think that this event falls well shy of that bar, and still believe that the content is more appropriate in 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. Pburka (talk) 01:35, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per above. --Norden1990 (talk) 22:42, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Date of the elections was set. --Meno25 (talk) 05:55, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment See what I said above for why there is not actually a set date for the elections. I suggest an admin move this article back to its original location for that reason. Ansh666 06:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of independent bookstores in the United States

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

Unmaintainable and guaranteed never to be complete list. Wikipedia is not a directory of independent US bookstores. Fiddle Faddle 22:37, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." See also: Category:Independent bookstores of the United States. Northamerica1000^(talk) 23:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere in the nomination have I mentioned a thing about category vs list. I state, simply, that this is unmaintainable, and a directory. Wikipedia is not a directory. Fiddle Faddle 23:14, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Most all of those bookstores listed have Wikipedia articles making this list very maintainable. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 23:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I was going to say that this would run into the tens of thousands of listings and run afoul of NOTDIRECTORY, but if one clicks the edit button it is specified that included listings MUST be the subject of a Wikipedia page. As such, this has limited size and a valid navigational function for users. I will make a more explicit note to the lead. Carrite (talk) 00:44, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, this AFD just inspired me to start a piece on a bookstore. See, it works! Carrite (talk) 01:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, valid and standard list satisfying WP:LISTPURP. That it only contains bluelinks is a rather strong argument against any claim that it is "unmaintainble," and "guaranteed never to be complete" is not a valid reason for deletion as no list is required to be complete, particularly not here where the list is limited only to notable entries (i.e., those that have or should have articles). Is the nominator confused on that point, that we commonly maintain lists on that criteria, or just unaware that this is how we index articles? Wikipedia does include directories of its own contents. postdlf (talk) 01:29, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the nominator's defense, the lead didn't specify the requirement that the list MUST have an existing WP page and there were half a dozen redlinks and spamlinks that I just culled out of there. The way the lead reads now, the problem should be resolved, one would hope. Most bookstore owners know how to read, presumably. Carrite (talk) 01:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And contra that defense of the nominator, those are obvious and standard ways to clean up a list of companies that he should have thought about before listing it for deletion. I appreciate you doing it in any event. postdlf (talk) 02:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of independent bookstores

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

Incomplete, never to be complete, unmaintainable list that is not even broad enough to be a directory, which Wikipedia is not. Fiddle Faddle 22:36, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic.

Keep per my comments at related AFD.[3] postdlf (talk) 20:31, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dusti^*poke* 03:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have considerable concerns over lists such as this, because Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion (notability) are only indirectly related to their merit as places to go for books today, especially as notability relies on historic evidence. They may be mere shadows of what they were, under different and incompetent ownership. The average user cannot be expected to understand the subtleties of this, and that the listing is in no sense a recommendation by the Wikipedia community. Other, and better, bookshops may be available. At the very least, the lead should make this clear. Wikipedia is not a directory. --AJHingston (talk) 09:01, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Entries for the UK include Foyles and Stanfords which are major institutions and seems quite appropriate for browsing and navigation. My concern would be the word independent which seems an unhelpful distinction and open to argument. We shouldn't keep the chains while deleting major stores that don't have that business model. Warden (talk) 13:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Given that these are identified as "independent bookstores" within the individual articles' text and via the category structure Category:Independent bookstores, an AFD regarding only this list really isn't the proper place to be questioning that whole classification. postdlf (talk) 17:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - As the list forms part of a set of connected classifications and categories, it is not sensible to consider it in isolation. The structure is therefore relevant to the AFD. Warden (talk) 17:16, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If wikipedia has enough of them with Articles to warrant a mention on the {{Companies by industry}} Table, then there should be a List to assist people that Browse by that method. Also, This List cannot be considered in isolation from its counterpart List of bookstore chains either. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 21:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. the subject is definable (a bookstore is either independent or a chain: some indie stores have multiple locations, but with each store allowed to make purchasing decisions. chains centralize buying decisions, with the store managers having little or no say in purchasing), the inclusion in the list is based either on the store having an article, or refs which show notability (and thus could have an article or article section if someone tried). all lists get unsourced names added, thus all lists are "unmanageable" to a degree, if no one is watching them, just like articles are "unmanageable" if left alone too long. as long as we allow former stores back in (we are NOT a directory for potential customers), the list is fine. problems with maintaining it are a separate concern from AFD, which is for determining if the subject is both notable and, if a list, definable.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:27, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of pharmacies

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

Unmaintainable and inexhaustible list. Do we list all shoe shops? We do not, nor all fishmongers. That is because Wikipedia is not a directory. Doubtless this was created with good intentions, but those are misguided. Fiddle Faddle 22:31, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic.

Keep per WP:LISTPURP as a completely standard article list. Why is a list of notable pharmacies (i.e., those which have or merit articles) unmaintainable? The nominator needs to read the first part of WP:NOTDIR: "Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content." And this is nothing more than a standard index of articles. postdlf (talk) 01:30, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not familiar with the policies surrounding this kind of article, but I would comment that a lot of work seems to have gone into this page, and it might be a shame to delete it. However, there is a noticeable lack of sources and the style could be more consistent throughout. Lesion (talk) 18:06, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You need sources saying that these are pharmacies? If the individual pharmacies are completely unverifiable, then they shouldn't have articles and shouldn't be included in this list. If the pharmacies are at all verifiable, and particularly if they merit an article, then any source that discusses them is going to confirm that it's a pharmacy, and it's just clutter to add references for that basic and completely uncontroversial fact to this list. postdlf (talk) 20:33, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree on principle- you should need a source to say anything on Wikipedia. However like I said, I am unfamiliar with the policies for lists. What stands out more than the unreferenced list of pharmacy companies is the often unreferenced "trivia" comments that accompany many of the individual items in the list. I don't have a problem with those, but I think ideally they should be sourced appropriately. Lesion (talk) 13:13, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your last two sentences. postdlf (talk) 16:21, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but set out guidelines in the Lede. Costco may have a pharmacy in there stores, but Costco is not a pharmacy. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 20:39, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sure that's not hard to do, as Costco is not included in any pharmacy category. Same issue regardless of whether we're using a list or a category to say "this is a pharmacy." Many grocery stores also have book and magazine racks, yet I don't think we have much of a fight over whether they belong in bookstore lists or categories. postdlf (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into The Interpretation of Dreams. I cannot find specific sources that describe the topic without reference to the main text. The content in the article is relatively small and could be easily added to "The Interpretation of Dreams".

High attendances at a match is no indication of notability. Lots of matches around the world have crowds of 40 or 50k on a daily basis. Giant Snowman 13:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

40 or 50k may not be a significant number in some countries, but considering the size of local football league fanbase in Korea it is a HUGE number. If you see the attendance record of other matches in Korea you will see its significance.

I previously PRODded this article for deletion, which was successful, and a curiosity journey led me to discover someone had recreated it. I ran a Google search for the phrase ("happy summer from william hung") and found nothing to really justify the existence of the article out of a whopping 94 results. I may have been in error PRODding his other two album articles, and for that I apologize, but this one I can testify is not important as its article would remain forever a stub.

Keep - The article where it stands right now looks good. Enough sources and its notable for being one of the worst albums in history.

Newsjunky12 (talk) 22:10, 4 July 2013 (UTC) Proud member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians![reply]

To be fair, it is bigger now than it was before. Right now I might favor more of a merge for his three albums, because that might actually create a substantial article and there seems to be a lot more to say on them than I thought. Unless EditorE can expand each one significantly beyond where they stand now, I would be more in favor of a merge to an article containing all three at this point. (It's going to look much better than the discography I collated recently: Scale the Summit discography.) LazyBastard Guy 03:57, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I guess I am something of a deletionist too, but it's not so much I delete whatever I please as I'm picky about which things I feel deserve their own articles. At the time of nomination, this article was identical to when I had it PRODded, as back then it was very weak and unmaintained, and I recall finding nothing of use when I went looking. But I won't withdraw it just yet; I imagine something good can come from this. LazyBastard Guy 03:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think all album articles look fine on it's own. They have enough coverage to pass WP:NALBUMS and WP:GNG, and I've already nominated Hung for the Holidays for a good article. How about you look at how short the good article Hitmixes is before merging all album articles. EditorE (talk) 14:26, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That might just be the shortest GA I've ever seen, but I have my doubts an article could be any shorter to be GA. And FYI, I never said anything about "merging all album articles", whatever that means. Try not to assume I'm here to destroy you, okay? I couldn't help but read your post in a confrontational tone, so let me defuse the situation by saying I'm trying to be helpful. Again, I might not be in favor of a deletion at this point. So take that for whatever it's worth, okay? I only suggest merges wherever it seems a merge could possibly exist.

I would like to weigh in again on the issue of awards, on which Bahudhara, WWGB and I are in agreement. Under WP:CREATIVE, 4c is where Sparks's work would be closest to notability. However, receiving 22nd place in one of at least 12 categories at a largely unknown online award competition (which itself does not appear to be the subject of much if any news attention) does not seem to constitute "significant critical attention". Furthermore, we should be able to establish notability without resorting to WP:OR: there should be multiple independent sources telling us what Sparks won and what it all means. With no disrespect to the artist, self-published sources and promotional material combined with original research do not establish notability. Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 15:17, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then there are the Epson Pano Awards, another competition at which Sparks is said to have received several "bronze" mentions, although none of the given sources can be retrieved. Around 3200 entries received bronze or higher at this competition, out of 3853 total submissions. Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 15:29, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the two newspaper articles on Sparks, the one referenced in the article appeared in the Border Watch, a small regional daily newspaper in South Australia with an audited circulation of just 6,814 (December 2012). The other one cited above by the anon IP appeared in the Sunshine Coast Daily, a regional newspaper in Queensland, which has an audited weekday circulation of 15,086 (January to March 2013 - the figures in the WP article are out-of-date; the Sparks article appeared on Monday 1 April 2013). According to the List of newspapers in Australia by circulation, the Sunshine Coast Daily ranks 23rd in Australia. Bahudhara (talk) 09:11, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No signficant coverage about Sparks or his works in independent reliable sources. The awards section has been puffed up significantly. None of the photo competitions appear to be significant as they attracted no notice in reliable sources and the results are really just a bunch of honourable mentions as shown by each of the award pages: [5], [6], [7]. -- Whpq (talk) 13:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Relationship anarchy is not polyamory, it is distinct from that style of relationship. It is a relatively new term but is quickly gaining usage in the polyamory and fetish communities as a way to describe relationship styles that have previously had no clear description. It should be kept on the basis that at the moment there is no central repository for information about relationship anarchy and thus it can be hard to find out about. The ability to have a central article such as this, that can be expanded and added to by anyone, is of great importance when discussing concepts such as new relationship styles. As a practitioner of relationship anarchy myself, I cannot stress how helpful it would have been to have had this resource while I was learning about it. By having this article we also encourage more people to write about the subject and eventually will no longer be considered an underground movement. Much of the writing about Relationship Anarchy is currently in Swedish and therefore not accessible to English speakers. CharlotteM85 (talk) 18:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While I have vested interest in this subject, there is no conflict. I believe that it is a legitimate inclusion alongside other relationship styles in a place that is a written compendium of knowledge. It could be a decade or more before it is included in academic discourse, yet there is much discussion on specialist interest sites of this practice. This practice has been happening for decades, but only recently have communities put a term on it via the internet. CharlotteM85 (talk) 18:27, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK. A few academic sources were suggested above, but I assume you meant common usage of the term in academic publications. I think this article is potentially notable to stay and grow on wikipedia, but someone would need to use these better sources instead of the current blog that is used.

A Hat in Time

apparent publicity for an upcoming game, based almost entirely on unreliable sources. DGG ( talk ) 17:47, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

---

DGG the sources I used fall under the newspaper and blogs clause under Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources. Please consider reading my post on the page's Talk page if you haven't done so already. If it makes any difference I have no personal stake in the article's existence; I am not working for Gears for Breakfast.

Of the sources I cited (1 2 3 4 5) which one is unreliable?

The article as it stands is just a stub mentioning some stories written by the video game press. If this is not a valid means for being an article to you, then I would like to point you towards other video game stubs as other examples, which happen to be in the same status of A Hat in Time. Chiefmartinez (talk) 18:22, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The big problem with pointing out other articles is that their existence doesn't mean that they actually deserve to be on Wikipedia. Sometimes they have notability, but in many cases such articles only exist because someone hasn't found and nominated them yet. I have to say that I'm somewhat undecided on this. There is a lot of buzz about this, but so far the coverage is entirely about the successful Kickstarter campaign. There aren't many articles that only talk about the game rather than focusing solely on its Kickstarter success. So far there isn't that much of a depth of coverage because of this. The Kotaku article that talks about actual gameplay (rather than just talking about screenshots or videos) helps a lot, but it's still a little less than I'd normally like. Don't get me wrong- I do think that this will become huge when it releases. The only problem is that we can't guarantee that it will become as big as everyone is expecting it to be. There are a lot of times where people will expect games to do big things, only for the actual release to never happen or for the game to be so underwhelming that nobody really reports on it. I hope this isn't the case, as I'm tempted to buy a copy of this myself, but it sadly happens more often than we would want it to. I'm still undecided, but I do think that if this does get deleted it should absolutely be incubated or userfied. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd like to mirror Tokyogirl79's comment above as I too am undecided. Though the article is blatantly not deletable for the nomination reasons (To me the article doesn't read like that much of a promotion, and the sources are almost entirely reliable), there is the trouble that it seems notable only for its Kickstarter campaign, and though it may make a good article in the future, currently there simply isn't enough information for a decent article. I am, however, tempted to side with keeping the article. There are other sources which haven't yet been used such as this and this, and I think the article could be expanded into more than it currently is quite easily.

Keep as passing WP:GNG with suitable WP:VG/RS sources already present in the article with the topic being the subject of the features. I too, don't see how these are unreliable sources.

Keep due to significant changes that have taken place in the past week. The current article is no longer a stub as it used to be, and has several sources backing up every major point in the article. There are also no obvious links that could possibly attract the reader to help support to the game if they wanted to, and the prose has been modified to the extent which I believe fits the NPOV policy better than before. Chiefmartinez (talk) 17:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd like to point out that Wikipedia's notability guideline is based on existance of quality sources. Your argument seems to be based completely on article's content. This is something routinely ignored by the closing admins. A notable subject can have a terrible article and non-notable subject can have an article with brilliant prose. The deciding factor here is notability. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The other three (Grant Kirkhope tweet, the Valve SteamGreenlight page, and Kickstarter data) all are related to the game's Kickstarter campaign, which was important in the game's development.

Strong keep. I certainly don't agree with the man, but he and his ideas get substantial coverage in books such as:

Michael Cuneo, American Exorcism, Random House, 2010.
Gregory L. Reece, Creatures of the Night: In Search of Ghosts, Vampires, Werewolves and Demons, I.B.Tauris, 2012.
Kenneth D. Boa and Robert M. Bowman, Jr., Sense and Nonsense about Angels and Demons, Zondervan, 2007.
Harvey Cox, Fire From Heaven: The Rise Of Pentecostal Spirituality And The Reshaping Of Religion In The 21st Century, Da Capo Press, 2001.
Thomas J. Csordas, The Sacred Self: A Cultural Phenomenology of Charismatic Healing, University of California Press, 1997.

Hammond's writings had a very strong influence on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, as well as on Protestant "Deliverance ministry" ideas (both in the US and internationally), and this is documented in books such as those listed (all of which are neutral or critical; there are also hundreds of sources from inside the "Deliverance ministry" movement, and several Google Scholar hits in journals on religion and mental health). I think there has been a very clear failure of WP:BEFORE here. -- 202.124.73.12 (talk) 10:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Police abusing their power and then having people be angry about it nationwide is not uncommon which includes beating people to death. SL93 (talk) 14:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Um, murdered IS killed. And this article says nothing about "national outrage" and mentions some localized riots a year afterwards. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:12, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Police murders are noteworthy. Murder is not identical to killed (you can be killed by a stray bullet or a bad piece of tuna without being murdered). For national outrage, see the Time magazine article reference.

No, police homicides are not inherently notable. They may be newsworthy, but wikipedia isn't a newspaper. I didn't say murder and killed were IDENTICAL. I said murdered is killed. Is there any way you can be murdered and not be killed? No. Don't tell me what you think I mean and just look at what is said. The Time article is behind a subscription wall. Perhaps you should review BIO1E and maybe WP:VICTIM. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd almost agree, but this one doesn't really appear to be that notable. It was mainly a local event. Granted, if the same event were to happen today, it'd get far more coverage, but it simply didn't in that era. Niteshift36 (talk) 11:59, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- the concept of "notable" is like the concept of beauty, it is always in the eye of the beholder. The fact that he was not known to you does not mean he was not notable. The death of Jose Campos Torres, and the subsequent Moody Park Riot, are both notable to the civil rights history of the city of houston. It led directly to improvements in the relationship between the houston police department and the hispanic community. The case was later made aware to a larger audience, through the song"Jose Campos Torres" by Gil Scott-Herron. Perhaps you are not familiar with Gil Scott-Herron. Again, the fact that you don't know him does not make him "not notable." There is no reason at all to delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayside54321 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 28 June 2013 (UTC) — Bayside54321 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Sorry, but where do you see "I don't know him" as one of the reasons listed? I listed policy based reasons. You, on the other hand, have used WP:IHEARDOFIT as your main reason.

This is a pretty good suggestion. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:55, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - First since it is a minor change I would like propose a spelling change of the first name from Joe to Jose.^[1] Secondly, Jose Campos Torres along with other deaths (Murders) not only started a movement but continue to be part of todays strugle for Latinos and African Americans so he is still relevant. This was the onlysite that I found not just a clear understanding of the connecton with what transpired but also a picture of Jose. For those of you who are not familiar with Gil Scott Herrons' "A poem for Jose Campose Torres" I understand why you can not make the connection with him today in 2013. However, as we once again work our way through this depression, aftermath of war (I am a 20yr Vet), and enter into a new era Jose reminds us along with many others, that the followers many time are the ones to pay the ultimate price here at home for change. The leaders from JFK, Martin and possibly next Michell or President Obama may join us but we will surely line the streets before them. Our history has so many holes that one could say our history is yet to be written. From the living Great Grandparents here in Georgia who were born salves or born to slave who were eventually freed during their childhood. To the new researchers who are trying to fill in the gaps. Additionally, I will remind you that many people who use this site (even on phones today) are doing research for personal or educational purposes do not have the time to do what I just went through (yes I'm a newbie).

I appreciate the emotional connection you feel here, but that's not a valid reason to keep an article. An article about my grandfather might mean a lot to me, but that doesn't make him notable.

Keep as renamed to cover the event. Notable murder. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:38, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you make that change while this is in AfD? Actually, a better suggestion about an article on the Moody Park riots has been put forth. Little premature, aren't you? Niteshift36 (talk) 22:32, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the subject is better covered in an article about the Moody Park riots I have no objection to that being effectuated. Certainly the subject is better covered in an article about the murder than as a policy violating biographical article. I didn't think article improvements ceased during AfD discussions and based the move on the discussion taking place here. If it needs to be undone until after the discussion concludes, so be it. Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:39, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moving an article isn't "improvements". Fixing spelling, adding more sourced material etc. Those are improvements. This actions should not have been taken, it pre-empts the process and it should have already been undone. Saying you'll undue it until after ignores that possibility of any outcome besides yours.

Appearance in national team is not confirmed by reliable sources. This remains more or less valid. The only coverage he's received are the usual player profiles, which WP:NSPORT explicitly states are trivial sources, making them insufficient for WP:GNG. He has still only ever played in the Vietnamese top flight, which is confirmed as not fully pro. His international appearances are no longer asserted and confirmed not to have taken place.

Merge to Gazetteer? I see many such publications included there with article links and external links. Seems worth noting in the encyclopedia. The author (Thomas Bladwin) has published some other work, but I can't find much on him. Alternatively merging into an article on him would be an option if some bits can be put together. He seems to have been from Philadelphia and to have worked with another fellow (http://montgomery.pa-roots.com/Biographies/DavidThomas.html David Thomas) who published some other Gazetteer type pubs and seems to be of some note.

Answer: Yes, name changed in personal page. Thank you for your time and contribution. Any editing from anyone to the page is welcome. Wccsnow (talk)

Keep There is no WP policy that states an article needs to be notable outside a given specialty. Instead the real criterion is whether (1) there are multiple independent in-depth reliable sources and (2) the article has surmountable problems. The article itself is well-written and well-cited. Most of the citations specifically about pbdMPI are primary, so the main question is whether there are RS available. Reference 25 is a tutorial by Raim, who I think is independent of the authors and reference 26, the CRAN task view by Eddelbuettel is almost certainly independent. The tutorial goes into a great deal of depth about pbdMPI and the task view has a paragraph about it, which is marginal for the in-depth criterion. Thus notability is marginal, but I am inclined toward keep because (1) a CRAN task view is a short list of the best R packages for a task and the presence of pbdMPI on the list indicates notability by itself and (2) notability for this new R package will only grow over time. Marginal notability and an article with no major problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 22:20, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep although weak for me. Indeed, just because there is a narrow community of notability is not by itself grounds for deletion. The article does however, need to show it is notable by reliable sources outside of the group that produced it. There are all sorts of packages promoted by their own developers, and Wikipedia is not the place to promote them using assertions of those same developers. I agree with above arguments that notability is marginal but seems more likely than not to stand the test of time. However, I think the article itself has huge problems. Parts are OK but other parts include a HOWTO which might not belong. Worse is the over-use of inline raw URL links. Generally the body of the article should not have the raw URL links, but be in English with wikilinks on first use of each related term. If a term is not notable enough for its own Wikipedia article, then do not link it in the article, but put in external links section of the article on the term that it describes. The section order is also not up to standard. But those can be worked on if it stays. W Nowicki (talk) 20:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article seems to have a strong advertisement bias (see above for the COI question), and we shouldn't start documenting all R packages on Wikipedia. It could probably be merged into some R related article, too. "Appeared in Sept. 2012" certainly does not indicate this is widely adopted yet, is it? --188.98.216.174 (talk) 09:15, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've just done a pass over the article, removing a lot of unrelated references (e.g. citing R; but since R has it's own wikipedia article, we don't need references for its existence!). Now very little references remain, in particular I didn't notice much independent third-party references on pdbR. Google Scholar doesn't find any either. So I'd say delete it for now, and maybe re-add it in 1-2 years when the test of time has proven it to be a commonly used package. --188.98.216.174 (talk) 10:11, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An average CRAN package, as far as I can tell. I see no indication of Wikipedia:Notability. This is and end-of-2012 and 2013 development, and has not received substantial attention yet even within the R community. As such, it lacks in "Significant coverage". The appropriate place for this as of now are CRAN and their homepage, not Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not meant to cover all 4688 CRAN packages... we can't even cover all of these in footnotes to the R article. That is exactly what CRAN is for, after all. --Chire (talk) 18:26, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage at Google is not to be found with the exact article title, but with the package names. There are many hits for rmpi (being described as "Two packages (snow, Rmpi) stand out as particularly useful for general use") and for pbdR, and there's of course the website with the same name as this article has been also directly cited by scientific research. Diego (talk) 06:08, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't confuse pbdR with Rmpi. It's not Rmpi; but a competing approach! The articles citing pdbR are either authored by the pdbR authors, or refer to e.g. "Primary Budget Deficit as a Ratio (PBDR)", I could not find any independent reviewed references. --Chire (talk) 20:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So what? Peer-reviewed papers "authored by their authors" are still relevant to establish notability from the moment they're published by scientific media. And there articles like this that are not by them. Diego (talk) 06:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The last afd resulted in no consensus due to disagreement whether or not playing in the Turkish 2nd division confers notability or not. In recent afd's (here and here) the decision was that it does not. His playing time in Germany was always for reserve teams playing in the fourth division or lower, which does not confer notability either. Most importantly, he has not received significant coverage. Of the sources listed three are player profiles, three are routine transfer announcements, and one is a squad list. Therefore, the article fails WP:GNG.

Delete - fails notability guidelines. – Michael (talk) 23:25, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of those discussions actually touch on the subject if the 1.Lig is a "fully professional" league. Sources for it being a professional league are easy to find (finding a source including the exact term fully professional is unfortunately difficult for leagues with very little English language coverage), attendances are comparable to the English League Two or the German 3rd division (http://www.mavisimsekler.com/zmanset/en-fazla-biletli-seyirci-adana-demirspor.html), and the clubs sign foreign players from unquestionably professional leagues, who most likely won't play there for free (e.g. from the 2. Bundesliga, Jupiler League, Scandinavian and Eastern European first division leagues). The last two points indicate that the Turkish FA's definition of professional can be read fullfilling the criteria here.Alexpostfacto (talk) 09:03, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't think the nominator is correct that the previous AfD reached no concensus because of uncertainty about the fully-pro status of the Turkish league. Instead, editors were split about whether the article satisfied the GNG. I've added another article of significant coverage to show that GNG is truly met here. Jogurney (talk) 19:48, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Has any Turkish speaking user comment on this subject? I mean the full pro status of turkish second divison? I find it hard to believe a country so fanatic with football only has 1 fully pro league. I would go with Alexpostfacto point, maybe the lack of verifiable sources in english is the problem.--Threeohsix (talk) 21:40, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep wp:snow. This is a major press organisation in the UK, that shares stories between news agencies, a bit like Reuters. Finding third party source on the agency will be hard because they report the news, a bit like finding third party sources on the BBC or CNN.Martin451 (talk) 06:55, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Such a well known organisation that it would be absurd for WP not to have an article. It is highly unsatisfactory as it stands, not because it is an advertisement but because it is little more than a directory listing, but that is not ground for deletion. As Martin451 points out, sources are limited and like many other commercial organisations the information needed must come mainly from within it, directly and indirectly. 'Independent sources' is a myth in WP in such cases - either they are using information the organisation provides, or it is in some sense made up. Company reports are best because they are audited and regulated despite their limitations, but I cannot get the latest copy to download properly from the PA website. The biggest nonsense in WP is where company profiles published in business pages are proclaimed as independent and reliable. It may come as a shock to some that the writer is unlikely to have spent months finding out for herself, and even then she would have been relying on company records. In reality she will have used a press briefing and perhaps the company reports, and that is not even going into the circumstances in which it was written in the first place. The article refers to a history of the PA written in 2001 by a former member of staff not available online, and content from that would be invaluable in the article, but it would be of little help for the current organisation. --AJHingston (talk) 09:22, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable start-up. It has not been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Edcolins (talk) 19:37, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I scrolled the first 3 pages of Google results and listed some of the links that I found. I will need some help to understand which ones are totally insignificant, as most of them seems to be written by independent bloggers / industry experts, newspapaers, startup-related publications. What can make all of them irrelevant?

Patro-claus (talk) 21:49, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The 13 references you listed do not show that the company has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. See in that respect Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Blogs such as references 1-4, 6, 8-11, 13 are largely not acceptable (see WP:USERG). References 5, 7 appear to have been directly or indirectly published by the company (see WP:CORPDEPTH), i.e. they do not appear to be independent sources. The TechCrunch reference (reference 11) is acceptable as such but only contains a passing mention of the company amongst quite a few other companies. Thus, so far, we haven't enough coverage to keep the article. --Edcolins (talk) 18:43, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As there's no "event" here, this is not a "textbook WP:BLP1E." The policy is not WP:BLP1THINGOFANYKIND, and we do not delete articles just because the subject is notable only because of a physical/medical condition. Plus, as the focus of BLP1E is to avoid separate articles on people incidentally caught up in larger news events who otherwise remain "low-profile", it's nonsensical to try and stretch it to cover someone who played a semi-fictional version of themselves in a feature film, appeared multiple times on The Jerry Springer Show, and was the subject of a TLC special. Clearly not someone who is trying to remain low-profile. So per satisfying WP:GNG as the subject of significant coverage by multiple reliable sources (and sustained over time, so not a NOTNEWS issue), keep. postdlf (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This brings to mind WP:GARAGEBAND. Probably more prominent than the fictional example given but it still applies in my book. Lazy Bastard Guy 23:52, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I think WP:GARAGEBAND is not really applicable here. This group consists of individually notable musicians. In fact, every member of the group has a Wikipedia page, and arguably they meet WP:BAND point 6. Are they a supergroup of blues musicians? Possibly, but given the lack of sources writing about them, I hesitate to say point 6 is met. -- Whpq (talk) 19:52, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The content is very likely a copyvio. See this. The article as it stands is completely unsuitable to the point that it would need to be blown up and started over again. I'm not sure this collaboration of musicians is notable, although the individual members are individually notable. Looking at the deleted contents, and the line-up for this project, it looks the same as the Jon Lord Blues Project which is in horrible shape but which at a cursory glance does appear to be notable. Did this band morph names? The deleted contents would seem to hint they are the same. If so a redirect would be appropriate but given the copyvio concerns, that can be done after deleting the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:. Thanks for feedback. I think, without having gone into it too much, that the Jon Lord project is actually a spin-off of this one, but it's evident that the possible copyvio issues are key here (if not at the other page????). Regards, --Technopat (talk) 18:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - I don't know which came first as teh rambling text doesn't make it very clear. It also doesn't help that there is no reliable source discussing teh band's history on which we can ascertain if the Jon Lord Project is a spin-off. There is no copyvio apparent at the other page. It may not be well-written, but it doesn't appear to have copied material. -- Whpq (talk) 19:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - After more poking around, I found this site which seems to be the source of copy for this article. I read it again more carefully, and it seems that the Jon Lord Blues Project is the original name of the band, and it has undergone name changers after Lord's pancreatic cancer sidelined him from playing, and ultimately he succumbed to the cancer. So I'll reiterate that this must be deleted as a copyvio. The band is best known the Jon Lord Blues Project, so a redirect after the deletion makes sense. -- Whpq (talk) 20:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have done my research and honestly, I do not know why this article is being considered for deletion? It's obvious that the page is being worked on constantly to reach proper page standings. The musician is an established performer. Some of you guys just like performing deletions because it's fun for you and may assume some type of power. I say allow the page to continue to be developed.

No need for the dueling "comment" notes - just indent properly.

Ugene, the conflict of interest is one thing but the ad hom attack on anyone who has supported deletion as fun and a power-trip is not the right way to go about it. There's nothing "valid" about that point. If you truly want to make a "valid point" then demonstrate you have met your burden of proof and have provided significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. That hasn't been included in the article so far and saying such coverage exists doesn't make it so. There are broken links, obviously un-reliable sources, things sourced to her myspace page and things filed in "press release" categories. My advice? Avoid all of those along with the passing mentions in articles about someone else. The New York Magazine article is in the right direction but still doesn't really provide significant coverage of the subject. Go back and provide some proper sources, lose the personal attacks and you'll have a much better chance of saving your article. Stalwart111 03:35, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stalwart111, I'm quite new at building and editing articles, I'm learning as I go. In ref to personal attacks, that was not intentional or directed to anyone specific. It's just something that I've noticed about different articles since paying attention to different type of articles. So my statement was just my opinion, not personal and not directed to anyone specific. I indeed do need help as I go and would like your guidance, until I get the hang of the wiki community, the proper way to do things and what not to do. This is my first time building an article. As far as your "111", I thought that I needed that for my comment to be listed, my apologies. I do look forward to you helping with this page, I see that you have many credentials on wiki.

If you're new, you're not connected to the subject and you have a genuine interest in contributing here, you should probably start by creating articles about obviously notable subjects and then move on to creating some about subjects of marginal or questionable notability. There are plenty of things in the world that are obviously notable but don't have articles here. Start on those, gain experience, build your skills and then go back to articles where you're going to have to fight to prove notability. If you have a basic understanding of the principles of notability and verifiability here, you'll have a much easier time of it. For this article, you still need to demonstrate that the subject meets our General Notability Guidelines. Stalwart111 22:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. New York Magazine, Carribeean E Magazine etc. Article simply needs improvement. Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:21, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really? The CEM piece you cite is a press release, is categorised that way and has been discussed above. It has been acknowledged that the New York Magazine article is a start but there is literally nothing else available, certainly not "substantial coverage". Stalwart111 03:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Literally nothing else? From the Seattle Post Intelligencer "On the stage, get ready for the talent of TraeDonya, the "Bride of Funk." Calling her work "hip opera," the diva "sings with raw passion, love and sometimes anger." TraeDonya also offers workshops for young women in which she discusses the highs and lows of the music industry." see here. There are also several book sources including in an encyclopedia. She is noted, for example, here, here, here and elsewhere. This coverage seems pretty substantial. This doesn't seem insignificant. She seems to have garnered coverage in reliable sources. She's not the most famous artist, but she's been noted for her solo work, her band, and for her work with other more notable talents. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:20, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And in fact I see numerous sources are listed in the "Further Reading" section. I don't see how this recording artist could be considered nonnotable. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now we're getting somewhere! The Amalgamation Mag content is certainly worth using. The line from the Seattle PI is the only line in that article about her. A passing mention in an article about other things really isn't significant coverage, though it is better than some of the stuff cited now. Likewise, the passing mentions in books or magazines (where title, authorship and reliability are uncertain) don't add much. I'm 50/50 on the Urban Network source. It was added by a site administrator though authorship is unclear. It's not the worst source, but probably not the best. If you have a look at the Further Reading list, most of the material there would fall into the category of WP:USERG, which was the issue from the start. In total, I'd say we're looking at 2 decent sources, 1 possibly okay source and a passing mention. It won't take much more than that and you've certainly found more than me. Got anything else?

Agata Materowicz

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

Artist bio that seems to fail WP:NOTABILITY. The author has been friendly and tried to argue for notability on my talk page (User_talk:Piotrus#Agata_Materowicz_article), sadly despite their efforts, I am still not seeing anything about notability. There's no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources; author's publications are almost completely in her role as an illustrator, she has one solo article in a mainstream newspaper, her awards seem non-notable, etc. I would be happy if people could argue otherwise, particularly as it is a shame to waste the author's effort. If it is deleted, I am asking for this to be userfied in the author namespace. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:26, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am the author of this article. I would like to open discussion, how should we treat those two TV video programs about Materowicz. In my opinion, they are meeting reliability requirements and standards : “ Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.”- SOURCE WIKIPEDIA.

Comment. It's true that lots of sources can be used to verify notability - but not that youtube is a reliable source. What we do here is say "TV Polsat interviewed Agata Materowicz on such and such a date on such and such a programme." And then we cite the original programme, air date, station, etc. We can't cite youtube, because anyone can post anything and say that it's whatever they want. I don't know about the notability here, and have not had a chance to look into it, but wanted to comment on the source issue noted above. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 19:23, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the refs above: http://tvnwarszawa.tvn24.pl/material/w-klebach-absurdow,88731,0,0.html is an article by her, on a relatively mainstream web portal; few such articles still don't make one notable as a journalist (this is the case of a person being almost notable in a number of categories, but not notable in any of them). 2 and 3 - yes, she is a book illustrator, but that does not count for much, not unless her work has generated coverage in itself. 4 is an article in a small local newspaper (not mainstream), about a photo by her son; her own work is briefly mentioned (she is not the main subject of the article). 5 covers her work in one paragraph; she is not the main subject of this - this is simply a (self-published, I think) about gallery (or at best a local newspaper) article about an exhibition. 6 docs.google screams self-published so much I am not even going to bother clicking on them, sorry 7. Warsaw Voice is a (notable) local newspaper; she is listed there as one of several winners of a minor, local competition. I am sorry, nothing here is enough to warrant notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:02, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. We have two issues here: one is that there is nothing reliable out there that confirms that Rose Mulligan is the author. Of the sites and places this poem is listed, many list the poem as being written by an anonymous author. Of the ones that do list Mulligan, quite a few attribute the factoid to Wikipedia. If by some chance this is kept, the poem should be listed as being an anonymous one rather than by Mulligan, as we have zero proof as to her authorship. Now that aside, there is also the issue with reliable sources. The article and the argument on the talk page tries to argue that this poem has been listed on several pages, but the issue is that being put on various pages doesn't always guarantee notability as far as Wikipedia is considered. A good many of these sites are your run of the mill blogs that wouldn't count towards notability and the rest aren't really the sort that we'd consider to be a RS. If anything, they'd be considered to be a primary source more than anything else. Now part of the issue I've come across with sources is that I can see where this has been printed, but being reprinted isn't always a guarantee of notability. I could find where it was posted in a few papers such as the Victorian Advocate and in a few books, but I can't find any actual analysis of this poem in reliable sources. I'm going to say that this should be deleted because there aren't that many reprintings of this or in any way that would really show that the poem is anything than a cute thing someone found online.

Keep "speculation" is not a valid reason to delete something. Speculation by individual editors is not appropriate in articles, of course, but speculation by reliable sources is. CRYSTAL does not prevent us from including verifiable information about (potential) future events. Possibly this could be merged, but such a solution is not compatible with deletion. Hut 8.5 09:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Read what WP Crystal actually says, there is very little verified information in this article and its all contained in OPLAN 5027 already Mztourist (talk) 11:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have read what CRYSTAL says, thank you. It says that "Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognised entities in a field may be included". The information in this article falls into this category. The article is pretty well sourced, and a number of the sources are clearly in a position to know what they are talking about. Hut 8.5 16:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are 4 sources quoted for the predictions - Wachter, Hitchens, Air University and Country Risk Solutions. Christopher Hitchens was not an expert on Korea or military strategy, I havent been able to find anything about Paul Wachter that establishes him as an expert on Korea or military strategy so that leaves 2 sources which can easily go into the OPLAN page. All the rest of the article is just fluff to justify its existence. Mztourist (talk) 04:19, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The quote from Hitchens isn't really a prediction, rather he's making an observation about the effect of this potential war on US policy towards North Korea. OPLAN 5027 is a specific operational plan, it isn't appropriate to include Korean War predictions in its article unless they are specifically predictions about the likely consequences of OPLAN 5027. You're also ignoring the discussion of US war games in that section, and the (very likely) possibility that there are other sources talking about the subject that aren't included. Hut 8.5 08:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes so Hitchens isn't an expert and isn't even speaking about the "future war" so the reference is irrelevant. War games go on all the time on both side of the border as contingency planning and that should be covered on the OPLAN 5027 page. The fact is that OPLAN 5027 is the best guess by the US and South Korea of how a conflict might break out and how to deal with it and as there are no North Korean sources available that is the most appropriate place for the few sources for this "future war" speculation to reside. Mztourist (talk) 11:52, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The OPLAN 5027 article is about OPLAN 5027. Predictions about a future Korean War that do not involve OPLAN 5027 do not belong there, and there is no reason to arbitrarily exclude all other predictions, even if OPLAN 5027 is the best guess. In any case if material from this article is going to be used in some other article then the page cannot be deleted. (If you do want to merge the content somewhere else, which I wouldn't object to, then Division of Korea would be a better target.) Hut 8.5 12:35, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lets wait and see what the consensus isMztourist (talk) 13:37, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, the best aspects of the existing article with the most relevant sources should be merged with the OPLAN article. As I said last time. Yawn. It would need a major restructuring and rewrite. Would suggest title; Future Korean war plans and forecasts 1953-2013 Irondome (talk) 00:04, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly that sounds like a fanboy blog which is what we're trying to avoid here, OPLAN is real, the two sourced expert references can be put into the OPLAN page as speculation as to how a conflict could ariseMztourist (talk) 07:24, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have been pushing for OPLAN since the first time this came up for deletion back in April. As I originally suggested OPLAN as a suitable merge your rudeness is not hugely appreciated mate. I assume you have not read the original nomination for deletion. I am glad you have come on board to my original idea. Not a great title no, but maybe we do need a fresh and more expansive title.

A similar article about this as-yet-unborn person was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Child of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. As such, this would normally be a speedy deletion candidate under WP:CSD#G4, but I am nominating it at AfD as well to get confirmation that this page should be deleted.

Then I removed the speculative content and was left with 6 sentences, which is none too long for the mother's WP page in a subsection. Take out the list of countries and its even shorter. Should be obvious that this is deletable ASAP. I was going to AFD it but took the chance as it met CSD G4Lihaas (talk) 07:03, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. See NOTINHERITED and WP:BIO#Invalid criteria. The child (or soon-to-be-born child) of famous people does not automatically warrant a separate article. The child should be notable in their own right. Any content could be easily merged into both the parents' articles. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:09, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Change to neutral. Other comments have convinced me that such a separate page on the child will be warranted since he/she will be notable at birth: the next person added to the list of the line of succession to the British throne. However, I am now on the fence beacause I am concerned that for the first few years of the child's life, such a separate article will devolve into a type of WP:BLP1E article, full of gossip, news and WP:CRYSTAL speculation. Wikipedia is not news, and we should not use the page to document every single thing reported by reliable sources that would normally fall under WP:NOT#NEWS, WP:BLP1E, WP:WI1E, and WP:EVENT. Again, for the first few years, the child will be only notable for one single fact and event. Most of the contently on the page right now makes it seem like the article's title should instead be Birth of the child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. As WP:GNG states, "significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article" (emphasis added). Another comment below mentioned the Princess Athena of Denmark article, but that is not the same, as members of the Danish monarchy do not nearly get as much worldwide tabloid news coverage and recentism as those of the British monarchy. Zzyzx11 (talk) 00:13, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think this will be too much of a worry. The articles for Prince Christian of Denmark, Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, Princess Elisabeth, soon-to-be Duchess of Brabant and Princess Estelle, Duchess of Östergötland are all articles about young heirs and heirs-to-heirs that have remained relatively free of gossip. Athena isn't the best example as she has a remote chance of becoming queen of Denmark, but I think provided that experienced editors keep an eye on the article, gossip and useless cruft can be avoided. Morhange (talk) 20:01, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Is it worth discussing the deletion of the article when the child could be born any time now? Next week this time the article might be there anyway. Why not just wait and let the matter rest for a while? @ Zzyzx11: I believe your discussion about the child's notability is besides the point. The child will be notable from the time of his or her birth and probably is notable even now befor his or her birth as it will be the heir to the throne of the UK (third in line). --Maxl (talk) 08:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read what was said before th epost you made? "NOTINHERITED and WP:BIO#Invalid criteria". Mere fact of being BORN is not notable because notability is not inheritedLihaas (talk) 08:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are exceptions to any rule. I think being third in line to the British throne is a criteria of notability and, therefore, an exception. For example, we've got the two young sons of Henry VIII by Catherine of Aragon who died in early infancy. Had they survived they'd have inherited the throne. --Maxl (talk) 18:57, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. This is nonsense. NOTINHERITED has nothing to do with this case as the article does not concentrate on the baby's relatives, nor is the baby notable only because of his or her relatives. The article is about the world's most famous child, about a person whose mere birth is expected to bring hundreds of millions to the world economy. The subject of the article has been more than sufficiently covered by reliable sources. The article itself contains no speculation whatsoever and does not resemble the deleted page at all. The information Lihaas removed without any discussion was properly sourced and confirmed by officials - completely opposite of "speculation" and "tabloids".

Comment I should like to delete under the spirit of WP:CRYSTAL - it should not be necessary to spell out the reasons why WP should not have articles about the yet unborn. But I agree that it is so near the likely event that there is not a lot to gain provided very tight control is taken of the article by experienced editors. Like others I am in no doubt as the notability of the child when born. Notability guidelines are just that - there are times when common sense and the intention of WP:GNG must prevail and WP must avoid making itself a laughing stock, for precisely the reason given in the Washington Times quote in the lead sentence. Notability is not inherited is often misunderstood by being taken too literally; all notability is derived ultimately from something or someone else (that is one reason for orphan articles being tagged) and any child will be in direct line of descent to the throne. --AJHingston (talk) 09:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's the same WP:CRYSTAL that clearly states "1.Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". Or keep, in other words. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I spoke of the spirit, not the letter, of WP:CRYSTAL and it would be better to discuss there whether there should be special reference to pregnancy. There is a big difference between a planned sporting event and a birth, and the things that can go wrong. --AJHingston (talk) 10:20, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per WP:POLITICIAN; the child will be third in line to the throne of England and the policy allows those elected/appointed but not yet sworn in to have pages (the child will not be officially in line until birth). Seems like a wonky application of the policy, but I feel that in this case it applies as the pre-natal infant clearly passes GNG. Jeremy112233 (talk) 13:33, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : While I have little interest in royal families, this surely passes WP:BASIC, WP:GNG. There is plenty of RS that consider the individual in detail. WP:NOTINHERITED does not apply: the baby is notable in herself. WP:CRYSTAL also does not apply: the article subject exists and is discussed in sources right now -it is simply still inside the mother's womb. --Cyclopia ^talk 15:08, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above arguments. Move to her actual name when she is born and her name is revealed. Georgia guy (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. While I think creation of this article is probably a little premature, the child should certainly have an article after its birth. I wonder whether those who have cited WP:NOTINHERITED are actually being serious - this child will one day be head of state of the United Kingdom! Not might be, but, barring accidents, will be. If they are being serious, words fail me... -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The child-to-be is notable in its own right and a lot has happened since the previous article was deleted. Incidentally we will not know the baby's name immediately when it is born (only within a couple of days thereof), so the argument to wait for that doesn't hold much water. Helen (talk) 16:48, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I should note that I wouldn't object if an article about this child were created immediately after he or she is born and his or her name is announced. I just think that a "placeholder" article like this one is of little use. After the baby is born, nobody is going to look for an article about him or her by searching for "Child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is not a placeholder. This is not a hypothetical entity that could or could not be -in that case, WP:CRYSTAL would apply. Embryos/fetuses/unborn children are real. That child exists right here, right now, and it is already discussed by sources. --Cyclopia ^talk 17:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have no idea how WP:NOTINHERITED would apply in this case--this child is the eldest child of the eldest child of the eldest child of the most famous monarch in the world. Regardless of gender, this child will in all likelyhood be the future monarch of the United Kingdom and even if the monarchy fails, a pretender. This is not the child of Tom Cruise, but a member of a royal family. Their notability derives from their birth into that family. We have an article for Princess Athena of Denmark despite the remote chance of her ever ascending the Danish throne, because as a member of royal family, she is inherently notable. I would even go as far to say that this article isn't specifically about the child, but about the circumstances around the pregnancy and the child's impending birth. At any rate, he or she will be born within the next couple weeks, maybe even before this AfD is closed. Morhange (talk) 19:15, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Before I created the article I did the reseach, and as I said on the article's talkpage the day I created the article, it:

- Contains no unverifiable speculation.

- Is not about an anticipated future event, it is about an unborn child.

- Is about a subject which demonstrably already enjoys wide interest.

- Only contains predictions or speculation of future events (which hospital, etc) which is verifiable from reliable expert sources, is notable and is almost certain to take place. Bo.Clive (talk) 21:16, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Slight contradiction here--it is about the unborn child, therefore the birth taking place doesn't even matter. So your argument is stronger than you've laid out.Jeremy112233 (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I see the argument that we should wait until the baby's actual born, but there's absolutely nothing in Wikipedia policy to support that. What matters is that the topic receives significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, and this topic most certainly does. Do we wait for sporting events to begin to create articles on them? Do we wait for albums to be released to create articles on them? While the fact that something hasn't happened yet can be strong evidence in favor of deletion, it isn't in itself enough.

I'm also reminded of Jimbo's comments here, in that topics such as these largely fall under our systemic bias. While my personal interests are about as divergent from tabloid sensationalization as you can get, the objective part of me has long wondered why we don't have articles on, for instance, notable romantic relationships. If Wikipedia were written by a random cross-section of the English-speaking population, this would almost certainly be the case. So, in a broader context, I see this article's existence as a positive step in that direction. But even if you disagree with that, I think WP:42 is fairly clearly passed here. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 23:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Of course this is one of the sillier articles ever on WP (an article on an unborn child? Really?) Of course the child is only notable because of its parents (who themselves are only notable because she is married to him and he's only notable because of his parents). But as long as we have this medieval institution of royalty around, people will have this (rather unhealthy) fixation with royal families (who nowadays really don't do much of any real importance) and write articles in otherwise respectable newspapers about unborn children, gossip about little kids, etc. And, unfortunately, that makes these fetuses, children, and adults notable under WP:GNG. This need for royal fables apparently is something inherently human (remember that the French Revolution -supposed to make an end to monarchy for once and ever- ended up with putting an emperor on the throne...) --Randykitty (talk) 13:28, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The coverage is mostly from 1999, but there has been some coverage since that point such as from the Jerusalem Post in 2007, Baltimore Sun in 2000, and what looks to be an article in Brandweek in 2008. There are also some mentions in some travel books such as Frommer's, but since I don't know what the qualification is to be in those books, I don't entirely know how reliable such a source is. There's just enough to where I think it might squeak by. If it was just the 1999/2000 coverage I'd probably vote otherwise, but the other coverage is enough for me to give it a weak keep.

Delete The only coverage I see is passing mention when the head of the group is quoted. I see no significant coverage of the group itself in independent, reliable sources. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:54, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Article creator here. Since the article was listed for deletion I have added a couple references from credible third-party sources and will continue to do so. The text is NPOV. On the subject of notability I don't think there's any shortage of mention of the group online: there are plenty of LegCo documents demonstrating the involvement of the group in community affairs, especially if you search in both Chinese and English, and other event notices published by universities, other professional groups, etc. Additionally there are many other professional organizations in Hong Kong on Wikipedia with similar levels of notability, and I think they belong. Why is the Ichthyological Society of Hong Kong acceptable but HKIUD is not? That group is of a similar age and judging by their website may be less active. Citobun (talk) 05:36, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At first glance, the other article you mention seems much better referenced than this one. But we are debating the deletion of this article, not that one. Just because we have adequately referenced articles about notable Hong Kong organizations does not mean that we should keep a poorly referenced article about this particular group. So, please point to the significant coverage in reliable, independent sources discussing this specific topic. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTABLE states that "For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort." User:Tyros1972 has attempted to have the page deleted twice in less than two days since I created the article. This gives me very little time to beef up the article and add reliable sources as I now know is required, and deletion is hardly being used as a "last resort" in this case where the notability is clearly subject to debate. "Ichthyological Society of Hong Kong" and other similar pages demonstrate that. They are very similar precedent cases.

The rationale given for both the deletion attempts is shaky. When it was first listed for speedy deletion it was under the promotional content criterion -- but the article was totally NPOV and the speedy deletion request was delisted. Now the reasoning is that there are "no RS" to demonstrate notability -- not true. It is still poorly sourced because I've been given no time to work on it. Deletion at this time would be inappropriate and even listing it here runs contrary to the guidelines at Wikipedia:NOTABLE. Citobun (talk) 07:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a one week process starting on June 19, so you do have time. If you add a few high quality independent sources, I will change my recommendation from "delete" to "keep". Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:42, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article creator again. I have spent some time today beefing up the article and adding some more third-party reliable sources. Citobun (talk) 09:54, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

* Comment - You query why Ichthyological Society of Hong Kong is acceptable for an article and this one is not. That is not the point. It, too, could end up at AfD, for all you know, but, applying your own argument, one could just as well ask why HKIUD should have an article when only one of the six similar bodies given prominence in your fifth source viz. Hong Kong Institute of Architects has a Wiki article, apart from this one, which is being discussed here. I note from the HKIUD website that it has only around 100 members. In any case, this is a fairly young organisation which has only been around for just over two years. I think, since you are connected with this institute, WP:COI is also an issue here..--Zananiri (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking through the article and alerting me to WP:COI. Yes, I should have made it clear much earlier that as a student of urban design in Hong Kong I have been a student member of the institute for a couple months. My motivation to create the article came before I joined, however, when I first Googled the institute and found no Wiki page. After skimming WP:COI, I will refrain from editing the HKIUD page, though I also want to add that I have not received any sort of compensation, benefits, nor do I know anyone at the institute particularly well.

I only replied to the question if there's substantial coverage. The article still needs improvement on citation. STSC (talk) 08:56, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Little to add really, so not much to improve either, as this is a very young institute - in its infancy actually - with around 100 members and without a proven track record. At present it lacks notability. However, it is understandable that students and others following the subject may find it interesting and think it warrants a stand-alone Wiki article. In fact, the creator of this article has conceded this very point here. A better solution might be be to list all the institutes in the fifth source in one article, mentioning their respective salient features. The fifth source is, in any case, a press release by them about themselves and not an independent, third party assessment of the institutes or HKIUD, so it is a primary source.

The number of Google hits, substantial or not, in whatever language they are present, does not really equate to sources establishing the importance or notability of HKIUD. Google hits in this context may actually mean nothing. I could find hits entering my own name. Does that make me notable or worthy of a Wiki article? I think not. Quantity and quality are separate issues, particularly when it comes to Google hits. My favourite coffee and wine suppliers have umpteen Google hits. So what? However, I think, we should be clearer about the notability of HKIUD in a couple of years' time. Let it mature and prove itself to be a worthy contender for a stand-alone Wiki article. Until then, just one article for all the institutes mentioned in the fifth source may be the answer. After all, the said institutes also issued the press release, cited in that source, collectively - one statement for all of them.--Zananiri (talk) 20:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Being a young institute with about 100 members can be notable and is not a valid reason for deletion of the article. Notability is established by multiple secondary sources. STSC (talk) 00:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the reason I gave for deletion. Notability has just not been established per WP:GNG.--Zananiri (talk) 11:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is in your comment above, if it is not the reason then how and why the article fails the WP:GNG? STSC (talk) 12:43, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence following that comment clearly states that this company has no track record. And I did make other comments as well. I note that you have edited the article since my last comment here, but you have not mentioned anywhere that this is a limited company, as its website states from which I quote verbatim:

articles and bye-law
"The Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design is a company limited by guarantee which was incorporated under the Companies Ordinance in 2010.
The Institute is governed by a memorandum and by articles of association. Together with a set of bye-laws now approved at the EGM held on 5th May 2011 these instruments cover, amongst other things, the classes and rights of and requirements of entry to membership of the Institute, the composition and powers of the council to manage the Institute and the conduct of general meetings."

The above quote is taken from: http://www.hkiud.org/en/about-us/articles-and-bye-law

Its full name is: The Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design Limited. The lead in the article should have mentioned that it is a limited company, when saying it is a professional body for urban designers in Hong Kong. It appears it is just another limited company, whatever it does. The bit about it being supported (no citation, though) by the government, when it was established, was another opportunity to mention its limited company status. It doesn't really matter who was invited to cut the ribbon at the company's inauguration and who was present. That is incidental.

I still think the article should be deleted. Parts of it also look like blatant promotion to me. I also note that the company's entries at the social media website linkedin are promotional, too, being a copy of what the company's website says about itself viz. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Hong-Kong-Institute-Urban-Design-4708154/about - Enough said. I will leave it at that.--Zananiri (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any organization can be set up legally as a limited company. So, you want to delete the article because of that? STSC (talk) 17:46, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, I would like it to be deleted, because I believe this company still fails WP:GNG. Even after all your edits. The sources don't vouch for its notabiliy, not the English ones at any rate and I doubt that the Chinese ones are any different, as the company's languages are English and Chinese. Additionally, the lead is, in my view, misleading, overhyped and tendentious. It should state unambiguously that UKIUD is a private limited company and membership entails an annual subscription viz.http://www.hkiud.org/en/membership/fee-a-payment

The bit about the company having received government support is ambiguous as well. There is nothing unusual about new companies inviting government officials or ministers to attend the inauguration ceremony. The guest of honour at such vents is often a high-ranking government servant, particularly in Asian countries. Good publicity. That does not mean active government support or say anything about the notability of the company, but the lead certainly gives me the impression that this is what the reader is expected to surmise! This company merely provides the facilities for fee-paying members to get together, to discuss matters that interest them, make proposals pertaining to their interests and organise events they are interested in. Think of a wine tasting club, society or institute where like-minded members pay an annual fee, attend tastings, pass judgement on wines they taste and write articles about such wines. Every now and then, they award points to wines they taste, after which the organisation is quoted by wine merchants to sell some particular vintage. Good for the organisation and good for the wine merchants. Inviting distinguished guests to their tastings gives the organisation even more publicity, like the events HKIUD organises. Would the wine organisation pass WP:GNG? I doubt it. I think the same applies to HKIUD. Zananiri (talk) 22:48, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HKIUD is not a business entity as you are playing it out to be, and I don't know any professional association without annual dues. As you quoted from the website, it's a company limited by guarantee, which in Hong Kong means a "company limited by guarantee [which is] set up for purpose of advancement of education, religion, relief of poverty, trust and foundation, etc. Most Institutes formed by this structure are not for profit-marking but they may not be charitable" source. This is not an applicable basis for making a claim of promotional material. The institute is not for profit and many other similar professional associations in HK have the same legal setup. Citobun (talk) 05:10, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. the gnews hits are very limited and not indepth. number of members is irrelevant to notability. LibStar (talk) 02:09, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment - There are multiple secondary sources published on the net (mostly in Chinese - Google and some in English) that support the notability of the subject. I have improved the article and it's improvement should continue through regular editing. STSC (talk) 16:15, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - After having seen the revision and the new sources, I have come to the same conclusion again i.e. HKIUD does not pass WP:GNG The new sources provided do not vouch for the notability of this institute.

The lead is still misleading, about government support (no citation) and who attended the opening ceremny. In fact, the lead dwells too much on this.

The third source (We Own The City) points to an event organised by the Faculty of Architecture, University of Hong Kong, which HKIUD, among others, supported. It was the initiative of the university.

The fifth source relates to a government initiative in which everyone (public consultation), was invited to submit their views. HKIUD may have taken part but so did many others.

I have previously commented on the sixth source (fifth before revision) and stand by my observations, even if HKIUD is a non-profit establishment.

The seventh source relates to HKIUD entering a competition. Entering a competition relating to urban design is one thing, winning it is another.

The ninth source quotes someone who attended an event in Hong Kong organised by the HKIUD. After saying he enjoyed being there, he concludes: "Hopefully they will be able to progress from a ‘professional’ body to become a wider influence on place and culture." This is, in essence, what I have been saying all along. HKIUD does not yet have a notable track record. Give it time to mature and the chance to become hopefully a notable body eventually. At present, it does not seem to pass the notability test for a stand-alone Wiki article, which this participant at the HKIUD event, in my opinion, confirms in diplomatic language.--Zananiri (talk) 21:24, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. There is a clear consensus that the article can not exist independently and needs to be either deleted, redirected, or merged into a DAB. There is no consensus on what actually should happen to it, with some prevalence for delete.

How does "expung(ing) the history so nobody recreates it" serve the encyclopedia? Is this somewhere in policy? Has there been a problem with the article being recreated after being redirected?

Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia requires a consensus before removing content. Redirecting is the same as deleting, only now there's a target. Also, what is there to merge? Nothing at all. Beerest355 Talk 02:51, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting is not the same as deleting because when an article is deleted the contents and editing history are lost except to admins. So unless there has been a problem with a subject being recreated inappropriately it is far better to redirect so all editors have access to page's full history and what was there previously. Who's to say something in that something in the history might won't be useful in future? Or that consensus may move toward including fuller discographies for notable artists?

There is adequate notability asserted. See my main post below and feel free to participate in discussing it. Wikitam331 (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It should by all rights be a speedy as there is no assertion of notability in the article, but we have to be here for 7 days now to satisfy the bureaucracy wonks and one very, very determined fan. There are 3 references in the article, one is a 3-sentence review on a page reviewing 4 bands total, in the Pittsburgh City Paper a free alt weekly. 2nd is drawuslines.com, a blog with another brief review, 3rd is cdbaby.com, a music store. Two scant reviews in a local free paper and a local music blog (the lead says this band is in SF but the infobox says their origin is Pittsburgh) does not satisfy WP:N. There is also WP:BAND, with a long list of criteria. This band doesn't come within spitting distance of any of the TWELVE criteria there. If you can't grab that piece of low-lying fruit, there's no hope here. Tarc (talk) 14:24, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article adequately asserts notability: it presents multiple reviews and multiple references from the Pittsburgh City Paper, which is a non-trivial, published, reliable, and independent source that is not self-published. Per WP:GNG: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." A trivial mention is defined by WP:BAND as "articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories." Album reviews that address the band directly in detail and describes their songs in detail, no matter how brief, are not "trivial mentions" and qualify as significant coverage. The page clearly satisfies Criteria #1 of WP:BAND as well as all of the criteria listed in WP:N. Wikitam331 (talk) 15:28, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Uh, no. As you were told repeatedly during the DRV, even by people who voted to overturn the deletion on procedural grounds, it does NOT pass WP:BAND. It does not even come close to passing WP:BAND. The so-called 'review' you're so incredibly proud of is a 3-sentence blurb in the local free newspaper among other self-released stuff. It's incredibly trivial. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's not trivial at all, according to the definition of "trivial" in WP:BAND - as I've already demonstrated. The facts contradict your position. Wikitam331 (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're (deliberately?) quoting WP:BAND out of context, it says "such as" and gives possible examples. A 3 sentence blurb is going to be trivial no matter what. Even if it were the most glowing review in the world (which it isn't), by the most notable writer in the world (which it isn't), in the most reliable publication in the world (which it isn't), at three sentences it would still be trivial coverage and not something we can build an article with. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:34, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, you're the one who is quoting it out of context. Nowhere in the definition of "trivial" does it list an album review as an example, nor does it say how long it needs to be in order to be considered non-trivial. You just arbitrarily decided to define the length of this review as trivial, backed up only by your baseless, unfounded opinion. Wikitam331 (talk) 18:27, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- One tiny blurb in one city paper and one tiny blurb in a blog aren't enough, it's a simple as that. The example I gave at the DRV discussion, Blood on the Dance Floor, was quite fitting, and perhaps you should read through those links again.

Delete the very short review is a bit more than trivial, but well less than in-depth. The publication is fine (free or no isn't important here), and counts toward the GNG, but not enough to support the entire article. One really solid (not favorable, just detailed) review in some other reliable publication would make this a close call. But as it stands, we aren't there. Hobit (talk) 21:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USERG. You called it a "biography", the site itself calls it a "review" - it's their language, not a red herring. Either way, it's user-generated content with little to no editorial oversight. There's nothing stopping me, for example, from editing that entry (just like Wikipedia) to suggest The Reformation is actually a children's choir from Turkmenistan. Stalwart111 01:31, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense. The top of the section says "The Reformation biography"; the word "review" appears nowhere to describe the Biography. and there is nowhere for any member to edit the biography. The only people who can do that are website administrators, so your comparison is a false analogy. Wikitam331 (talk) 20:44, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they don't make the distinction particularly clear either. The FAQ and the forum itself refer to "reviews" while the only reference to "biographies" is in the About us section. If that's what we're talking about here, it's still user-generated - submitted for consideration by the bands themselves and "voted on" by a group of anonymous users without any particular criteria and a predetermined bias towards "inclusion rather than exclusion". It's basically Wikipedia by committee and that sort of thing isn't considered a reliable source. You can argue semantics but the fact of the matter is that the site we're talking about is built by members, for members and there's very little chance it will be considered a reliable source for our purposes. Stalwart111 23:56, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ProgArchives is not "basically Wikipedia by comittee", and I disagree that it's not a reliable source. There are hundreds and hundreds of pages on Wikipedia that provide ProgArchives as a credible source. Why are you singling out Progarchives only for this page? Wikitam331 (talk) 16:28, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WTF? You asked the question "Do you think the ProgArchives source...", I note it isn't a reliable source but rather a fan forum, and you respond "I didn't cite any review from ProgArchives". If you're nitpicking "review" vs. "biography", that's not even remotely relevant. We're talking about evaluating the source to see if it can be used to establish notability. (It can't).

The Artist Page itself can only be edited by administrators. The fact that there is a forum and that users can post their own reviews is completely irrelevant to the fact that ProgArchives is NOT a fan forum as you falsely characterized it. Wikitam331 (talk) 20:44, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt as I suggested at DRV would be the likely outcome were more sources not advanced to substantiate notability. Rather than take the opportunity to establish notability (as was claimed could be done) the original author has simply restated his previously rejected argument that current sources are sufficient. The are not. Still (in the spirit of generosity and good faith) willing to consider anything else that might be available, but I remain in favour of deletion until such sources are put forward. Salt, also, for The Reformation (album) which was recently created and speedy-deleted and has previously been created many times before as the album of another unrelated NN band.

Rivero has earned some passing mentions in reliable sources, but none have really managed to be significant. I've listed the only ones that come close (the rest mention him for at most two sentences; they're from a LexisNexis document dump I can send to anyone who wants it).

D.D. McNicoll and Emma-Kate Symons, "Strewth" (?), The Australian (4 April 2003)
- Only section dealing with Rivero: "In The Lord of the Rings movies, the quirky computer-generated character Gollum, below, is obsessed with the Ring, calling it "my precious" as he follows it around Middle Earth. Funny then how life imitates art. The man who created the character of Gollum, lead performance animator Ramon Rivero, yesterday showed some preciousness of his own in Brisbane. The media were invited to cover a presentation he was giving to students at the Queensland University of Technology, where he would "reveal the secrets" behind his animation. But when The Australian and others turned up, Rivero stuck his nose in the air and ordered them to leave. He was gracious enough to offer an interview after his presentation -- on the condition that no mention was to be made of The Lord of the Rings, Gollum or his animation. Oh, and no photos either."
Dianne Butler and James McCullough, "Don't ring me, and I won't ring you", The Courier-Mail (4 April 2003; [ )
- Complete text: "APPARENTLY Academy Award-winning animator Ramon Rivero had a "bad experience" with the media one time. Rivero, the genius behind Gollum, the computer-created Lord of the Rings character, pictured, is in Brisbane for a forum at QUT today. Yet when attempts were made to interview Rivero about his dazzling career, he became very agitated and insisted he would not be talking to any media (note to self: Remember that the next time he's flogging a movie) -- in fact, he'd prefer it if his name and Lord of the Rings were not even linked. He was especially put out with the people at QUT for daring to release to the world word of his trip. They got back at him though -- in their press release they called his ugly hobbit Dollum."

Neutral. Rivero (aka Sr7wiki) has emailed me copies of the sources he mentioned in his comment above. The Daily Telegraph article is a solid source that's primarily about Rivero, as is the MacFan article (unfortunately, that one's in Dutch, so I wouldn't be able to use it myself). I only saw one page of the book by Serkis, but the mention of Rivero is quite brief. So that leaves us at two solid sources (maybe three if we're generous to the very brief mentions and the sources we haven't seen). For me, that put this topic right on the boundary where we could probably write a three-sentence permastub, but nothing more. So I'm neutral. If we decide to keep it, I'll write up what I can, but given the paucity of sources I'm honestly not that excited about it. —Neil 04:57, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per longstanding consensus that secondary schools of verified existence are inherently notable in the same way that populated places, highways, rivers, elected high level politicians, professional athletes, etc. are inherently presumed notable. Carrite (talk) 15:25, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @Cameron, this is a consensus which has emerged here over the course of years. In rough outline, it is a working consensus between those who favor a vast and expansive encyclopedia and those who favor a limited and focused encyclopedia in which secondary schools are presumed notable and primary schools are presumed non-notable barring very large extenuating circumstances. The thinking is that high schools are centers of community life and that they are the subject of repeated and protracted coverage in the local press of their communities — construction, remodeling, speakers, events, sports teams, music performances, state academic reports on achievement, etc. etc. Moreover, a proper biography is very apt to include the name of a high school and these links should be blue, not red. Rather than spend about 75% of our time at AfD fighting over the relative merits or lack thereof of this school or that, dumping hundreds or thousands of hours into digging up sources or recreating deleted articles as sources emerge and new editors come along, the simple rule of thumb has emerged that pieces on secondary schools of confirmed existence are treated as automatically notable, while pieces on primary schools (barring extraordinary circumstances) are converted to redirect to their school board, or failing that their parish or town. This working consensus has never been run through an RFC and made into official notability doctrine (it probably should be at some point, I suppose), but it is very, very widely accepted by AfD participants and closing administrators alike. I hope this makes sense to you. Best regards, —Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR /// Carrite (talk) 15:24, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd previously speedied this under A7 after DGG tagged it, but the original editor requested that it receive more discussion. While I think this has a snowball's chance in hell of surviving AfD, I recreated it. In any case, the problem here is that this author has received no coverage in reliable sources. He existed and his books exist, but they've received no actual coverage from what I can find. It's been asserted that importance has been asserted because his books were previously published through some non-self-published sources in the past, but I can't see where those publishings have received any coverage either. To be honest, getting published through a non-SP publisher is something that has been greatly, GREATLY depreciated over the years as far as notability goes in general, let alone for speedies. Of the sources on the article, all are primary in one form or another, one being an obituary and the others being Google Book entries.

I've found some stuff, but it's pretty slow going. I see where it won an award but I can't verify the actual award because I don't know what the initials spell out. It seems to be a long running one, in any case and recent news hits seem to suggest that it's a somewhat well thought of Spanish language book award. I am finding some sources that suggest that it is used in Spanish language classrooms. ([42]) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:06, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This source seems to confirm that it's something used in classrooms, as it's a journal run through by the ministry of education for Spain. It has a very lengthy article written up on it. I'll see what else I can find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "CCEI" stands for "Comisión Católica Española de la Infancia"; the award can be verified on their website [45], and from a search online it appears to be a significant, long-running award [46]. I couldn't find a traditional review, but that essay about the award also seems to cover the book (see snippets [47] [48]), and there's a lot of additional evidence that the book is regularly used in education, such as [49] [50] [51] [52], but they're all probably best represented by this, a project by the IES Mar Menor that centered all their subjects (Math, Chemistry, Geography, etc.) around this book, and a similar project (the second link above by Tokyogirl79) that received an honorific mention by the Ministry of Education in the frame of their "Premios nacionales de investigación e innovación educativa" [53]. This is reinforced by the hits from GScholar, where the book is mentioned not only within the subject of teaching Math, for example [54] [55] [56], but also regarding the Medieval Ages and Arabic culture [57] [58]. — Frankie (talk) 07:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pedro Pablo Caro

Looks to be an article based on incidental mentions, not sources with significant coverage as required by WP:N. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think this article does any harm by staying up; it will make use of the same disk space if deleted :D Sources used includes a book which goes in depth into his career (which would qualify for the "Significant coverage" criteria, perhaps), and other reliable sources (most, if not all, are published sources) are used to precise other things. Sources used also are secondary, and independent (except the one which specifies the title of his thesis). Maybe, if this gets consensus to delete, it would be best to create an article for the Caro family and dedicate him a section. But keeping the article would be, in my opinion, optimal.

Comment I came across this article as part of the DYK process and had the same concern as the nominator. As said by The Blue Canoe the article is well-written about a man with a respectable career, but it is difficult to see any specific notability relevant for Wikipedia. The article's subject appears to have worked as a lawyer and judge on a local level; the article says "communes and departments". Departments in Chile before 1974 appears to have been a second level administrative division after provinces. I can't see this would be positions that typically would indicate notability per WP:BIO. He is included in Biografías de chilenos which seems to be a project to cover those who were members of the three government branches in Chile from 1875 to 1973. I am not quite sure how selective or notable this Biografías is, so there is the one thing that makes me a bit unsure about notability and whether he is notable per WP:GNG; the entries are pretty CV-like. I posted a question regarding the notability of Caro on Wikiproject:Chile a while ago; but it doesn't seem to have given any response. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 21:54, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains large passages lifted directly from websites owned or controlled by Antonio himself. That smells to me like self promotion or advertisement.

It seems like any topic that is centered on pro liberty gets flagged for deletion, regardless of how relevant the topic is. Antonio Buehler received much press when he was falsely accused of assaulting an Austin Police officer, Patrick Oborski. Where video evidence was intentionally repressed by law enforcement showing that those charges were not true and was no-billed by a Travis County Grand Jury. Buehler is a modern day civil rights advocate, much in the same way as Rosa Parks. This article should be kept.

Antonio Buehler is public figure so why delete this? As a public figure he has many enemies. Has this deletion notice been issued because of pressure from his enemies? If so, it is all the more reason to keep this entry. It seems to me that the accusation that it is an advertizement is a phony argument. Cold Rodear (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this subject passes WP:BASIC. Buehler is a notable person. He is invited to speak at conferences, protests and festivals around the country. He is known in the anti-war community and supported by people like Cindy Sheehan and Dahlia Wasfi. He is known in libertarian circles as a leading activist and thought leaders, supported by people like Debra Medina and John Bush. In the education circles he is a respected speaker and consultant having collaborated with leaders such as Laurette Lynn and Michael Strong. In the police abuse arena he is perhaps the most well-known national figure and has been covered by Carlos Miller and CopBlock.org among others.

Keep. Sources are adequate. Tendentious nomination by spa. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep The existing sources contain sufficient evidence of notability, for exampl "President Pervez Musharraf has refused to accept the resignation of Javed Ghamadi from the Council of Islamic Ideology" [65]. In addition The Guardian describes the subject as a "reformist scholar and popular television preacher" [66] AllyD (talk) 05:59, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I suggest a new rule for Wikipedia: prods and AfD nominations should not be accepted from editors with less than (say) 100 edits. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:05, 4 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Strong KEEP and speedy close as this AfD has no substance and was started by a sockpuppet[67] blocked for spam and promo. kashmiri ^TALK 08:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to John Smith. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:29, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

John Smith (name)

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

This name may be very common, but there's no reason for it to deserve its own page different from John Smith. The intro, dicussing the "everyman" thing is already there, and the other stuff isn't notable. The "In popular culture" section is again already at John Smith, in the Characters section. Beerest355 Talk 01:09, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to John Smith. The pages are almost duplicates, except for the list of notable people in the other (main) article. BayShrimp (talk) 01:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as a fork of John Smith. There is already a nice one line intro to the disambiguation page that covers the essence of this article; and as there are no untapped scholarly sources about this topic, it is unlikely that this will do much over time other than accumulate page links as a de facto disambiguation page. Carrite (talk) 15:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect. The info about the commonest names is sourced and would not belong on the disambiguation page John Smith, so I suggest merging that to Joe Bloggs. If John Smith is the redirect target then a link to Joe Bloggs should then be added in the "everyman" line. – Fayenatic London 12:05, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep urban dictionary — Preceding unsigned comment added by TenthEagle (talk • contribs) 20:29, 8 July 2013‎

Delete. Neither Urban Dictionary nor the blog that quotes its definitions are reliable sources. I found only two hits in Google Books, ~~both~~ self-published volumes that do not appear in WorldCat. Notability is not established, nor does it seem likely to be established. Cnilep (talk) 03:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: One of the books was republished by Focal Press and appears in WorldCat. Still, notability is far from established. Cnilep (talk) 03:35, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
