I'm bringing this to AfD after a SPA removed the speedy template on the article. I'd discovered this after finding an article on one of the employees that had been nominated for a speedy. (I redirected it to this article.) In a nutshell, this just isn't a notable company. The article is vaguely promotional in tone and while it barely asserts some notability, I can't find any coverage in reliable sources that would show that this is ultimately notable. An editor requested time to find sources, but I'm bringing this here because ultimately this has been around since 2008 and reliable sources have yet to be found since that time. I couldn't find any and I pretty much doubt that they actually exist. There are plenty of primary sources such as press releases and the like, as well as one or two brief mentions, but nothing that would show that this ultimately passes WP:CORP. They seem to be successful, but that's no guarantee of notability. It might make it more likely, but success doesn't automatically mean notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 22:55, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The employee's article was un-redirected, so I'm nominating that one as well in a separate AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Braund. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 23:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sources are not reliable and requires additional primary, secondary and teritary sources. Most of the sources are to there website. The article tone sounds like a company portfolio and many not meet WP:ORG. ///EuroCarGT 01:27, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can find passing press mentions relating to their share price movements on the AIM, but not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. A firm going about its business but not of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 07:01, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- (1) it is a listed company (even if only on AIM) (2) It has a turnover of £112M (accoring to annual report on company website. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ITEXISTS isn't enough to keep an article, nor is the success of a company anything that could give automatic notability. There are a great many highly successful companies out there that never gain substantial coverage per WP:CORP. You have to show notability by way of sources that are not only independent of the company, but are also reliable and go into depth. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:54, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Keeping on the basis of financial success can be justified, but the level would need discussion, and will differ in different industries. I don't think this is high enough for ti to be automatic. I accept being listed on one of the leading exchanges such as NYSE as evidence of notability, but AIM is not one of them.

Aside from a mention in Pearson's book, cannot establish WP:N [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ]# ▄ 22:04, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's a whole book (by a reporter and a professor) and a raft of newspaper and magazine articles on this murder. It was perhaps the highest-profile trial in the country while it was happening, and even spawned conspiracy theories involving Hillary Clinton's participation. I don't have the time or interest to write it up myself. I suggest that you take it up and do something productive instead of stalking me.Pokey5945 (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:43, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As observed above, Sams was one of the major figures in one of the most nationally (and internationally) prominent trials in the early 1970s. Somewhere along the line the original reference got deleted, and it never was cited specifically for inline citations as it should have been, but the fix is to fix the inline citations, not delete the article.

Eve de Leon Allen

Unsourced BLP, fails WP:NACTOR. Green Cardamom (t c) had nominated the page for A7, and I concurred and deleted the page, but the article creator contacted me to dispute my application of A7. I am bringing the issue here in lieu of sending it through DRV. —Darkwind (talk) 20:20, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning delete. I agree that A7 speedy deletion wasn't the best choice here: recurring roles in two notable TV series are enough to assert "significance or importance", especially since her Nuzzle and Scratch role is apparently a starring one. However, I've so far found very little to meet the tougher notability standard that we're using here at AfD: best I can find are brief namechecks at BleedingCool.com [1] and Digital Journal [2] mentioning her appearance on Doctor Who. That's not enough. Unless more turns up I'll have to !vote delete. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:25, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She did have a starring role in one significant TV series, and a significant role in a very well known series. PatGallacher (talk) 23:24, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NACTOR says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable .. television shows". Is 4 guest appearances on Dr. Who a "significant role"? There's a problem of lack of sourcing to pass WP:GNG - we know she exists and was in two television shows. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 23:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree that this is a marginal case. But child actors fall into a special and difficult category because we do not know whether they will make a successful transition into adult roles even if they choose to try, and many do not. That is not to say that we should never have articles on the Hayley Mills of this world but there is a consensus that having a BLP in Wikipedia is for most people a burden, and especially for minors and those who choose to have moved on to other things in life. If she carries on being successful in acting there is no prejudice against a new article, but at present there is insufficient to indicate that she will be remembered as an actress other than by friends and family. --AJHingston (talk) 07:59, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete TOO SOON. May be notable one day. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:38, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:OUTCOMES. We usually have deleted barely notable child actors, out of an abundance of caution. FWIW, she does not appear to be related to my godmother. Bearian (talk) 17:02, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Latrelle

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

Singer/songwriter. The article is one big fluff piece without any reliable sources (and a second one existed at MzMunchie until just now). The text can be found all over the web, but I now assume it was written (and posted here?) by her representation.

I can find no reliable sources covering her at all
She seems to have released a single EP (itunes). Per the WP:NMUSIC guideline this is not considered sufficient indication of notability for a standalone article.

Delete No media coverage as Latrelle or MzMunchie. Can't find any reviews of her EP. Not notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:51, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I found this article from VIBE, an allmusic bio, and Popular Music: An Annotated Index of American Popular Songs appears to credit her with co-writing a Grammy-nominated song, so I'm a bit mystified with all the comments stating that no coverage at all could be found. --Michig (talk) 17:56, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I also found this from Edge Boston and here's a Billboard Dance Club Songs chart showing her at number 50. --Michig (talk) 18:04, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per my comments above. The arguments that coverage doesn't exist have been shown to be groundless. --Michig (talk) 10:41, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oy, it seems my Google-fu was weak, sorry about that.
The article would need to be pretty much stubbed to get it verifiable, but a page in Vibe (magazine) is generally sufficient for me. Is a song on Dance Club Songs (Hot Dance Club Songs?) an acceptable "country's national music chart" as per WP:MUSICBIO criterion 2? Amalthea 15:37, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That chart would not be enough for me on its own, but others may disagree. It at least shows some level of success, albeit minor. --Michig (talk) 16:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could User:Amalthea, User:Candleabracadabra, User:EuroCarGT, and User:Colapeninsula comment on whether the links provided above convince them of the subject's notability and strike or reaffirm their !votes? Mark Arsten (talk) 05:47, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm waiting for someone to do something with the article. :) Yes, the sources identified above establish notability. No, I haven't changed my vote because the current article isn't written from those (or any) verifiable sources and should probably be deleted if it's not fixed. Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:06, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The links above shows notability as she wrote songs for Destiny Child as what Candleabracadabra said above, I wouldn't change my !vote for now due to the current state of the article. ///EuroCarGT 15:13, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. I'm happy to improve the article if it's kept, but don't want to spend an hour of my time on something that's going to get deleted. If you feel that notability is there and that the article can be brought up to scratch, the right thing to do is keep it. --Michig (talk) 15:19, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the article isn't cleaned up it should be deleted. It can always be moved to userspace if someone wants to work on it later. If it's deleted it can also be started fresh from the sources noted above. Promotional content that isn't verifiable isn't appropriate to include in Wikipedia and that's what the article consists of at present. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:44, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not Delete, Solaryx (talk) 10:10, 9 October 2013 (UTC)I did some extensive research about this company, they are not only a flight school accredited by the local authorities, but more than that, they are a air transportation company they own and operate an airport (code LRTZ) and they do own and operate airplanes as assets to serve the flight school as well as banner towing, crop dusting, recreational tours and other similar non-scheduled flights. Sure, as a flight school they may not be notable at international level, but my personal opinion is that they deserve a page, even if it's just for the fact that they own and operate a real airport.Solaryx (talk) 10:10, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saltine aka The Mad Rapper

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

Recording artist. After investigation, I believe the topic fails WP:N/WP:MUSIC since I can't find reliable sources covering the topic as required. Unless anyone else can, the article should be deleted. The most notable claims from the article are:

He enjoyed "global airplay". I find no sources to support that, but wouldn't really know where to look
One of his songs was used in a notable TV series, supported by a tv.com link
"Garned high praise from widely respected Billboard magazine" -- the best I can find about this is a digital image of that praise, but neither the song nor the artist seem to be listed at billboard.com at the moment.

The Chain Gang of 1974

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

Now this does pass WP:MUSICBIO criterion #2 - hence why we're here and not at CSD - but it is appallingly written and requires comprehensive cleanup. As a band whose only claim to notability is a song that charted between #76 and #100, the Official Chart Archive does not log it in its public archive and thus we can't source it.

Keep meets WP:GNG which trumps WP:POLITICIAN. Since this is such a major office, I'm sure that more reliable sources exist. Royal broil 12:03, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's been pretty clearly established over the years that somebody like this who is not notable for themselves, and is only covered as a result of their status as a candidate, fails the requisite substantial test: coverage of them for themselves, as opposed to token "this is the other guy on the ballot" reportage, which is about the election, not the candidate. This even applies to major-party nominees for the Senate and governorships, much less the House. See the talk page history of WP:POLITICIAN in particular. I live in the district this guy keeps running for; he's totally obscure, and you only see his name every two years when he runs again, or when you drive by his house, where he's erected a permanent sign. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:13, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep' Politicians are notable for their political campaigns, not their ancillary activities. Anyone notable enough to by a major party candidate in a two-party system for a national office such as a seat in the US House of Representatives) should be consider suitable for an article. First, because even getting this far is getting far above the routine (the routine for politician being a post in a state legislature--and we accept that as notable) Second, because in effect we otherwise give an advantage to the incumbent, which is not NPOV coverage. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 18:45, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

reply - DGG, that's contradictory to long-standing consensus in discussions of WP:POLITICIAN in particular: people like Sebring are not notable in any way save that their names appear on a ballot, and they get token coverage no matter how quixotic their campaign. I've lived in this Congressional district for over 30 years, and I can assure you: if he wasn't willing to get his name on a ballot to get whipped (repeatedly) by Democrats in a heavily Democratic district, he would not make the paper until his obituary. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:55, 8 October 2013 (UTC) (unsuccessful major party nominee for the Tennessee General Assembly, and clearly not notable)[reply]

But the Tennessee General Assembly is not the US House.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Retrograde motion (disambiguation)

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

Having a disambiguation page here incorrectly suggests that there is an ambiguity here, where there is none. "Apparent" retrograde motion is merely the appearance of retrograde motion, and is only a partial title match; it is no more ambiguous to retrograde motion than Penrose stairs is to stairs - something that merely gives the illusion of being something else, and not an unrelated topic that just happens to share the same name. Also, nothing links here, and anyone searching for Retrograde motion will correctly be taken to Retrograde and prograde motion, which already has a hatnote to Apparent retrograde motion. bd2412 T 18:04, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The partial title match problem is debatable, but as there are only two entries and the two articles in question already have hatnotes to each other, I think this can be deleted per WP:2DABS (or maybe speedied per WP:CSD#G6 ?) as an unnecessary dab page. --Mark viking (talk) 18:22, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems a perfectly sound concept for a list and it's certainly not indiscriminate. Lists do a different job from categories - information can be added and red links fulfil a useful purpose - see the essay Wikipedia:Categories versus lists. The black links need sorting but that is an editing matter. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:15, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, there are obviously notable automotive fuel brands, and determining the particular inclusion criteria for a list is a matter for normal editing. It should also be obvious that the list's inclusion criteria could simply match that of Category:Automotive fuel brands (and note that none of the four store brands mentioned by the nominator are included in that category), so it is nonsensical to claim that a list is necessarily indiscriminate but the corresponding category is not. And as noted above, we do not delete a list just because there is a category, per WP:NOTDUP. postdlf (talk) 15:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CodeCat (talk) 15:17, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:EVENT. This is just passing local news that is not notable as an encyclopaedia entry. All that happened was that a device failed in a substation.

There have been power failures in my neighbourhood that did not even make the news. — O'Dea (talk) 07:23, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A blackout which affects at least 1.5 million people is notable. Maybe it needs more references. But it has nothing to do with deleting. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 18:02, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nightfall affects many more people every day than a power cut, but we have an article about the rotation of the earth; we do not devote articles to describing each nightfall. An encyclopaedia is not an anthology of brief electrical incidents with local effects. There was nothing unique about this power loss: it was brief and it did not alter the course of history. It is a triviality. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a newspaper. — O'Dea (talk) 08:49, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In a way, I quite agree with O'Dea.This is an encyclopaedia and not a newspaper. But you can see many articles about blackout events in WP. (2003 Italy blackout, 2003 London blackout, Northeast blackout of 1965 etc.) (In fact many others about other evil events such as eartquakes, floods and fires ) Deleting only this one without deleting the others is not fair. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 16:44, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The argument that there are other blackout articles is an example of Wikipedia:Other stuff exists (please read), meaning it is an invalid argument. Indeed, 2003 London blackout should also be deleted.

Northeast blackout of 1965 is notable because it was an international blackout affecting 30 million people. It was sensational and unprecedented at the time; it astonished people so much that it featured afterwards in works of popular culture. 2003 Italy blackout is another international incident that affected 56 million people. An entire nation, Italy, lost power for 13 hours, the most serious blackout there for 70 years.

Please do not create distractions with "earthquakes, floods and fires". We are talking about a temporary loss of electricity, not natural disasters. The blackout in Trakya was a small regional loss of power that affected only 1.5 million people for only two hours. Such blackouts occur frequently throughout the world and are therefore a normal feature of life, and do not warrant encyclopaedia articles about them. They rarely ever make news outside the affected region or nation. In Costa Rica alone, nationwide blackouts are a constant feature of life. Here are news reports of just a few of them: in 1997, 2001, 2007, and 2012. None of these warrant encyclopaedic study.

The question of "fairness" does not arise in a discussion such as this. It is a red herring. Wikipedia does not exist to promote or undermine justice. Trakia will not experience painful jealousy just because the major Italian blackout has a Wikipedia article. — O'Dea (talk) 12:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable: transient event affecting relatively small region. Has not generated sufficient comment in reliable sources.--Larry (talk) 19:09, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the List of major power outages which includes "notable" power interruptions, with the relevant criterion being that it affected more than 1,000,000 person-hours, in this case 1.5 million people for over 2 hours or 3 million "person hours." If someone refers to other articles about similar events which survived AFDs, then it should not be dismissed out of hand as an "other stuff exists" argument since it might be a way to point to the consensus as to what level of disruption makes something notable enough for an article or for inclusion in a list such as the one I found. For a major outage which survived AFD, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Southern California power outage. The list of major outages itself survived multiple AFDs. For an example of one which was smaller like this one and got merged to the list, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Portugal Blackout of 2000. Comparison of a blackout to it getting dark at night is not sensible, since twilight does not strand people in elevators or shut off traffic signals, water and sewage handling and medical equipment. It does not make sense to argue for deletion on the basis of some simple equipment failure or human error in setting a protective relay being the root cause. We look at effects, and their coverage, rather than causes in determining notability. Edison (talk) 19:50, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The suggestion to merge to List of major power outages is redundant; the power failure has been documented there since September 25th, so deletion remains the preferred choice. — O'Dea (talk) 19:07, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The two society fellowships and one published obit should be enough. I rewrote the article to avoid both some copyvio issues and an undue emphasis on his fringe research (which is to be sure an important part of his life, but not why he is notable). —David Eppstein (talk) 00:08, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - nothing wrong with the article. As usual, this is just a case of ScienceApologist trying to get an article deleted because he sees it linked with pseudoscience and Velikovskyism. Wanting to purge wikipedia of topics you don't like is not a valid criterea for article deletion. --feline1 (talk) 23:17, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Feels like JPS / ScienceApologist seems to be recently nominating various AfD (Pensée: Velikovsky Reconsidered, SIS, NPA, CER Bruce, etc.) related to a prior area of topic ban in something of a guilt-by-association crusade, going after various articles related to persons, organizations or topics deemed supportive of or tangentially related to subject(s) he personally considers "fringe". Feels like a distinct conflict of interest WRT these nominations, given user(s)'s prior antagonism for the subject(s)/person(s) and years of lobbying against them on WP. Anyway, the recent spate of AfD's seem suggestive of a continuing pattern. Mgmirkin (talk) 00:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - COI statement: I have been interested in the subject of plasma cosmology / electric universe. If that disqualifies my vote, so be it. That said, I don't see anything wrong with the article in question, as written. Seems reasonably NPOV, no undue emphasis in WP article on topics perceived as "fringe." Did publish quite a few articles, many {most?} in respectable peer-reviewed journals (vis a vis, IEEE journals, Nature, etc.). Seems to have been reasonably well-regarded by peers/contemporaries. Notable? I guess that would depend on who you ask and in what context. I certainly find some of his longer treatises noteworthy. Others may disagree (either with that assessment or with the notability of the topic of his research in general). But, I guess the question might be was it noteworthy research at that time? I think it was, as it explored some pretty fundamental questions in astronomy/cosmology (whether or not his final assessments were or weren't borne out by further scrutiny). Pity more attention wasn't paid (but, that's just my personal opinion). Mgmirkin (talk) 00:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the article creator has been blocked indefinitely by the nom for promotion. However, that doesn't mean this isn't a suitable article; legitimate degree-awarding institutions should have articles, per WP:NSCHOOL. -- 101.119.15.110 (talk) 02:11, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You are correct. It does not mean the same for the article. The OP was promoting. The article was not written in an overly promotional way (unlike the previous version), so it was not set for CSD G11. As I am not convinced of its notability here we are after a short PROD period. That is how the process works. Now lets see the consensus. As for WP:NSCHOOL all it is, is a reminder that all schools must satisfy the notability guidelines. The guideline in a nutshell amounts to this: A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization. I did not see them, so that is why we are here. -- Alexf^(talk) 10:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You did not see the independent sources, but they existed, and are in the article now. The college also appears in several other handbooks listing accredited colleges and universities. And standard practice is that "most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are being kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists" per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I must say, I'm astonished at this nomination. -- 101.119.14.4 (talk) 11:03, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good. So the system works. That is what AfDs are for. Thanks for your contribution. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:00, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- We treat all high schools as notable. I thus fail to see how a theological college with 1200 students could fail to be notable.

It is not puffery to say "regular appearances". She has been described as both a speechwriter and "adviser" to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, as well as a "Republican strategist".

Delete Seems like should be notable, has done a lot of things and obvious talent. But there are no independent sources about Effi Wizen, such as biographical pieces in magazines and newspapers. This source for example says (in translation):

"On Tuesday, the Polo Paulinia opened an animation studio 3D, billed as the largest and best equipped in Latin America. Based on the model of Industrial Light and Magic of George Lucas.. Under the auspices of the Israeli Effi Wizen.."

Impressive, but not a source about Wizen. Same problem with the other sources, they mention him in the course of his job duties, but nothing specifically about Wizen of significance. Many of the claims of significance are unsupported: "Wizen created one of the first film digital compositing systems" is unsupported; "one of the first specialists in Computer Animation and Visual Effects" is unsupported; "he founded the post production house" is unsupported; "Wizen created the consortium" is unsupported. Whoever wrote this must be using sources we don't have access to, or has personal knowledge and connection to the topic. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 21:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I follow why the above quote you helpfully focus us on is in your view not a source about Wizen. It refers to him, by name -- to the extent that it does so it is about him. Certainly, it is not primarily about him. But while articles solely about a person are excellent indicia of notability, they are not a sine qua non. As long as we have sufficient other indicia.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:04, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair call. I don't think someone is notable for a job position (with some exceptions). Simply being a CEO or entrepreneur or whatever his title is, and a few tangential mentions. If it's a CREATIVE position we would judge based on works. MichaelQSchmidt made a case for that below after I !voted; my sense was this is a close case and that since the article contains what might be WP:PUFF by someone who might be COI I leaned to the delete; I also wondered at the contradiction of the many big claims made in the article vs. so few films, and of those not great success, and so few professional awards and honors. And no supporting evidence of the claims made. So all these concerns I went with D. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. We do across our notability guidelines, to your point, certainly in a great number of cases (though that is not the issue here) view someone as notable based on their having certain positions -- whether the President of a country, or Dean of a university, or player in a highest level professional sports league. But, not the issue here, as I said. Also, even if we don't have an article primarily about a person, they meet our criteria if we have sufficient coverage, with sufficient indicia of notability. Issues of puffery and COI, while ones that I am also as a general matter sensitive to, are ones best addressed by tagging and normal editing -- AfD is not for cleanup, and an article of an otherwise notable person should not be deleted because of such issues (rather, they should be addressed as indicated). As to why there isn't greater coverage unearthed, one possibility that jumps out at me is that those articles that we do have are largely in Portugese and German (where google coverage is lesser than in English) -- and we don't even have his name in Hebrew, to do a search in his native language.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, aware of those exceptional cases but there is nothing for business people in the notability guidelines. Believe me I wish there was because so many times I have seen business people deleted who I thought were notable. The puffery issues can be cleaned up but they made me distrust some of the claims being made that would otherwise make this person notable. It is possible the sources are in foreign languages but I searched *.br (eg. "Effi Wizen" site:.br) *.il and *.de before making my vote. Did not search his Hebrew name.

Weak keep ~~delete~~ ~~because~~ even though sources verifying his works do not give enough detail about his life to support a decent article. Even his RTS Television Awards nomination did not itself receive notice. Even though not a violation of WP:BIO, we can allow it back once this person receives some media attention for who is is and not for what he has done (though it would seem that they are intricately inter-related). However, under WP:ANYBIO the nomination could be enough to allow this to remains and grow over time and through regular editing... and WP:CREATIVE #1 & #2 it might be seen that his works themselves have received enough attention (mostly in non-English sources) to meet that SNG,[14][15][16][17][18][19] which is why my ~~delete~~ stance is "weak".

Original AFD was muddied by some sock puppeting and a fairly unclear consensus. Though the promotional material has been mostly removed, the article is still in too much of an in-universe writing style, and the sources seem to be mostly primary. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:00, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily delete, salt, burn with fire Consensus on the AfD that closed mere hours ago was pretty clear and obvious. It does not take much review of the article, the ref's and the arguments from the other AfD to see that this "article" does not and should not belong on the English Wikipedia ES &L 14:13, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid original research and stick to the AfD rules. There is no argumentation in your comments. --★ Pikks ★ ^MsG 14:32, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At least I know the rules - you're making up bizarre interpretations that are contrary to WP:CONSENSUS ... and consensus is the BIGGEST rule on Wikipedia ES &L 14:37, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which part of WP:CONSENSUS I am not understanding well? Please explain in details. --★ Pikks ★ ^MsG 14:48, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Because the two reasons of this AfD are wrong. Here are my explanations:

In universe:

It's not in "in-universe" style, because it's clearly written that this character is a writer. There is also written that this author appears on the National TV and Radio substituted by an actor. The real voice of this person and the real look of this author is kept anonymous. To be anonymous does not mean to be fictional - fiction is something that does not exist. Somebody can write, be a source of conspiracy theories and be hidden for security/obvious reasons. I am convinced that the article explain it very well. It also says that the actor wear a mask and speaks the text written by Adam Kadmon (the writer). I clearly see that there is absolutely no in-universe kind of writing. If somebody still thinks there is something written in a "in-universe" style, please give clear examples and it's possible to assess them in the article.

Primary sources:

Actually there are only 2 primary sources out of 34 links. And they are youtube and Adam Kadmon's official website. According to the rules primary sources can be used, but cannot be the sole source of information. They must be always supported by verifiable and reliable secondary and tertiary source that are independent of the subject. In this case this condition is met. Thus the article should be kept because it fully meets WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Thanks --★ Pikks ★ ^MsG 14:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stub it or userfy it. As I noted in the first AfD, this article is currently in terrible shape, but there is coverage of the subject. In English, there's "How Adam Kadmon Made the Leap From The Kabbalah to Italian Television", The Forward, April 21, 2013 (describing him as "the mysterious and much talked about Italian television personality and conspiracy theorist Adam Kadmon, who always appears on TV with a mask to hide his identity") and a mention in a 2013 New York Times article [21] ("the show’s host, Adam Kadmon, who plays a mysterious masked vigilante who investigates topics like Ustica, underskin microchip implants and, more recently, Michael Jackson’s prophecy about Sept. 11, and favors the French missile theory.") In Italian, there's a lot of press that shows up in GNews [22].

The Italian Wikipedia article, it:Adam Kadmon (personaggio televisivo) has undergone some back-and-forth editing in the last few days and seems to have improved noticeably (at least in the most recent version I saw)[23]. Based on all this I'm inclined to think he's a notable Italian TV/radio character known for presenting conspiracy theories.

That still leaves the problem of our current English Wikipedia article, which is utterly confusing and unencyclopedic in style, replete with purple promotional prose such as "High-skilled in martial arts and t'ai chi ch'uan, Adam Kadmon is said to possess the ethics of a superhero such as not harming innocents and the tenacity of a soldier of Special Forces" and "he talk about the very important rule of the humanity's wisdom to defeat the Illuminati Conspiracy and all others world's biggest criminal organizations" and "According to the most experienced researchers in esoteric cultures, it would seem that "Adam Kadmon" is the same man called "the Deliverer" or "the Seven" respected by the world's most powerful secret societies that are silently protecting him in his efforts to improve quality of life of every human being."

So, while I think the character is probably notable, I can't bring myself to !vote "keep" for stuff like this. My suggestion: either (1) stub this thing down to a sourced paragraph or two along the lines of the sourced factual content in the current version of the Italian Wikipedia article, using the Forward and New York Times descriptions noted above to identify him, simply, as an Italian TV/radio personality who maintains an aura of anonymity and presents conspiracy theories on Mistero and elsewhere; or (2) userfy it until it's cleaned up. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:06, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stub, Userfy or Delete, for all the reasons listed by • Gene93k. If it cannot be rendered down into a properly neutral POV - without excessive conflict, sock-puppetry or effort - then delete. I hesitate to nominate for deletion outright, again for some of the same reasons • Gene93k lists above, but - speaking for myself - I am also not convinced that simply being a media personality or having articles written by third party sources in Italy is a worthy qualifier of notability for the En.Wikipedia (nor am I convinced that the sources in the article are all valid sources supporting notability), and therefore would be just as happy to see it deleted, and if it is a valid, truly notable subject for an article here, be submitted to AfC and let it pass or fail there on its own merits. besieged^talk 16:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question Is this a real character expressing his own views uinder a pseudonym, or a fictitious character played by an actor, expressing views that may be someone else's or maybe nobody's? The article is by no means clear about this and the very first sentence is confusing. This may be why there is disagreement about whether it's in-universe. --Stfg (talk) 16:57, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. If it's a real person, the article title is misleading, too. --Stfg (talk) 16:59, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In short: because of marketing reasons is told to be a real "superhero" with a detailed story while it's likely to be a character by some unknown author(s). To be honest there are no serious "investigation" about his real story/identity since he's not taken into any consideration out of conspiationists' milieu. BTW I have to underline fivestore (used as a source) is the merchandise store of Mediaset's. Furthemore Edizioni Piemme is a branch of Mondadori group, currently owned by Fininvest, which owns also Mediaset itself so, definitely, both of are not supposed to be considered as neutral source. --Vituzzu (talk) 00:25, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Vituzzu, that's very helpful. --Stfg (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also the Bible is written and advertised by people from the same Church and Religion, like the same company. But this doesn't make it unencyclopedic. According to the rules primary sources are good if confirmed from secondary/tertiary independent references. Regards. --★ Pikks ★ ^MsG 08:49, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant. There are plenty of neutral, reliable secondary sources about the bible. To imply that Adam Kadmon is encyclopedic because the bible is encyclopedic is ridiculous. --Stfg (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a misunderstanding, because I agree with you. I was just saying that the fact that good informations are given by primary source (which is not a blog, but the biggest and richest company in Italy) it's not bad as far as those sources are confirmed by reliable and verifiable secondary ones. My apologies if I wasn't clear, I just was trying to make some good comparison, but it looks like it wasn't a good one :) --★ Pikks ★ ^MsG 09:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK, thanks. But you're right, it wasn't a good comparison. You can sometimes use a primary source to cite uncontroversial information, but not for controversial information -- and anything remotely promotional is already controversial. When you say "the Bible is written and advertised by people from the same Church and Religion", what that really means is that we cannot use the bible as a source for the church's claims -- not even when there are other sources. So we cannot cite the bible to say "The world was created in six says", although we we can cite it to say "The bible states that the world was created in six days". Also, please take note of Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. The fate of this article and its sources should be decided on their own merits by WP policies, not by comparison with other articles and sources. --Stfg (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy If he's a "pseudonymous writer", then behind the pseudonym there's a real person, but no real person is a superhero, and the use of the term "character", rather than, say, "television personality", suggests fiction. There's so much ambivalence about all this that the article is certainly not ready for mainspace. There's also much concern over promotional intent, and the melodramatic "classified" in the infobox is ridiculous. I half suspect that there's a genuine notable topic hiding somewhere in here, but the present article doesn't present it. A good editor has offered to help, so I suggest userfying it to give it a chance. --Stfg (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Postscript Editor Baffle gab1978 has started work on improving the article. I strongly suggest not closing this until we can see what happens. --Stfg (talk) 09:11, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed my !vote: Since Baffle gab1978 has partly stubbed it, I've reviewed it again. I'm now convinced that the subject is notable. For example, the Illuminati book is published by a mainstream publisher and sells on amazon.it, which carries 46 reviews of it (almost all very favourable). However, the second half of the article is still far too heavy with POV. The first paragraph of the Conspiracy theories section witters with paranoia about defamation and slander and how Kadmon "explained" (non-neutral term), all this cited to an interview with Kadmon himself (not neutral) linked to a web page that doesn't in fact carry the interview. The last bit of that paragraph isn't cited at all. The second paragraph of the section begins with the most ridiculous appeal to authority: "According to the most experienced researchers in esoteric cultures ...". The Critical reception is almost as bad. So my !vote stands at userfy. It would change to keep only if those two sections were completely deleted or at least confined to stating neutrally what is to be found in neutral sources. By the way, the title should be changed to Adam Kadmon (television personality), just as the Italian article is Adam Kadmon (personaggio televisivo). --Stfg (talk) 13:53, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thanks Stfg; I've checked a few of the Italian-language references, via Google translate, and it seems the person/character/pseud/whatever has been written about non-trivially in reliable sources; most of which are in Italian. Obviously we discount the blog and Youtube; and Mediaset/Fivestore seem to be primary sources, per original AfD. Of the English-language sources provided, one (forward.com) is non-trivial and the other, (New York Times) is a trivial mention. I've removed some of the nonsense from the article, and I think I can clean it up further (I've been busy IRL for the past 2 days, which is why there's been little activity).

Userfy, per Stfg. I'm being charitable; the first AfD close was a good one, and one editor refusing to accept a consensus to get this fansite out of mainspace strongly tempts me to !vote delete. The article currently does not meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:ENTERTAINER, even with the few possibly-reliable Italian sources, and when the socks start to come out (this is the IP above's sole contribution to WP) that's never a good sign. If deleted, salt. Miniapolis 20:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actuallu it does meet WP:AUTHOR and WP:ENTERTAINER - read "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique", "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" as well as "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." and "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.".

And a very important point. You cannot influence the notability of an article based on the sockpuppets! An article should be based on the article itself according to WP:GNG. If there are sockpuppets or not this does not have to influence the notability of the article. So your statement "when the socks start to come out... that's never a good sign" is a sign of you being influenced by sockpuppets, but remember that an article meeting WP:GNG as well as WP:AUTHOR and/or WP:ENTERTAINER has all the rights to stay, no matter what the sockpuppets do.

Comment - The "newspaper interview" has nothing to do with the article subject and the "networks" item is a social media site that is currently down.

Comment - Just how has the article been improved. I don't see a plethora of support for the article or even a small smattering of verifable, independent non-trivial support for the article - actually to be honest the majority of references are IMDB or self-generated. No one is asking for a completed article at inception, but where are the references that support notability?

Circular gear helicopter

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

WTF not notable. At best a paragraph in a helicopter description article, apart from that the content is almost meaningless. Petebutt (talk) 01:40, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article doesn't make sense?? Probably the worst written article I have ever seen :-)Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The prose makes sense--drive trains are an important part of a helicopter's mechanical design--but the article seems to exist solely to promote the author's invention of an alternative drive train. I was unable to find any other sources about this design, so I believe this topic fails notability guidelines, per WP:GNG. A non-notable topic and a promotional article suggest deletion. --Mark viking (talk) 04:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Business technology management

Article seems to be written by btmcorporation.com with most of the small number of references and "see also" pointing back to their company. It may be a legitimate topic but I think this article should be scrapped. Bhny (talk) 01:16, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undecided but probably delete based on obvious promotional tone and lack of suitable third-party sources. I began searching at Google News with "BTM Institute business technology management" and this is what I saw, probably more than half press releases (republished and original) and articles written by people affiliated with BTM Institute (such as this one and this one) thus promotional and not third-party (conflict of interest). I should also note that the first pages of news results show these problems and I finally something that wasn't a COI in 4th page here but it doesn't help much. In these results, you'll also find foreign results that pretty much look like republished PR. A search at Google Books also found results but are concerningly written by Faisal Hoque, a member of the institute and one of the writers of the COI articles. In that Google Books results, there are two results aren't affiliated with BTM Institute, and they are this (slim chance of usefulness though) and this (another slim chance because it's a brief mention). One final search all around failed to provide anything else. A search at thefreelibrary.com provided more press releases. I'm open to retracting my vote but based on my searches and the article's tone, I doubt there is much hope for this article at this time. For being an "institute" and a business science, there sure isn't much to support this article. No prejudice towards a future article or userfying.

As a professional involved in the problem space described by this article, I see no reason to include it in Wikipedia at all. I heartily support deleting it. The core concept of "business technology management" is simply an attempt, by one commercial organization (hardly an institute), to rebrand the field of Enterprise Architecture under a moniker of their choosing in order to improve their ability to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. This is clearly a commercial activity (advertising). If others deem the "branding" to be noteworthy, I'd support a redirect so that the term "Business Technology Management" redirects to the article for "Enterprise Architecture".

Bicrement

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

Wikipedia is not a dictionary; notability of a question in Stackoverflow.com is not clear; Wikipedia is not a how-to guide—it isn't desirable to have separate articles showing, trivially, how to add 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., to a variable in Java. This isn't the same situation as with increment, a primitive operation in both assembler language and many high-level languages. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:06, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete I'm prepared to agree that this could be notable, if someone, somewhere has done serious work on a unary bicrement operation, its possible advantages, and that there is published sourcing to support this. However so far we have bicrement equated (incorrectly) with a commonplace binary addition of 2. That isn't original or notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:03, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Space Bridge

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

This does not establish notability independent of Transformers through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

~~Merge~~KEEP to Transformers technology, per WP:Before C4 which states that if the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article.

- Merge - Articles, even from reliable sources, that only discuss in-universe information about the Space Bridge (such as the part that it played in the recent film) are not enough to display notability.

Comment: This may be something that can be salvaged as a standalone article. Alternatively List of Transformers objects or List of Transformers artifacts might be an appropriate merge-creation for this, Matrix of Leadership, and other "bits and bobs" that lack individual out-of-universe notability but, as a group, are worth mentioning. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:18, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
