Kay Dotrice

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

It may seem I have a vendetta against the Dotrices, but I don't! People don't generally inherit notability from their far more well-known family members (well, not on Wikipedia at the moment). Kay Dotrice died only a few years ago and I would expect a significant obituary somewhere to recognise her enduring importance. Unfortunately I can only find a very brief death notice. Should we put an end to this article, or is there something I'm missing? Sionk (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Roy Dotrice#Personal life. She did appear in 25 episodes of Crossroads (soap opera), but I can't find any other major film or TV roles, or any details about major stage roles. It's possible there is some press coverage from 70s or 80s but so far there's no evidence she meets WP:ACTOR or WP:BIO. In any case, there's very little info in the article, and I'm not sure she was really best known for her Shakespearean work (she was also in Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers in a small role alongside her husband). --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Explainer video

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

Poorly-sourced article about a product, that seems to exists as a WP:COATRACK for WP:LINKSPAM and WP:REFSPAM. No evidence of notability. Fails WP:GNG. - Mr X 13:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep This gets no good book hits, but it does seem to get a decent set of web hits. That said, the text we have now is terribly promotional and I wouldn't object to a WP:TNT deletion. Mangoe (talk) 14:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:NACTOR. majority of the sources are track listing or SPS. CSD was challenged by the creator of the previously speedied version. Ish dar ian 12:04, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sigh... It's been speedied five times and protected against recreation twice. Let's bury it for good. Self-promotion by non-notable Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:32, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible Judgements For them to even not give enough time to edit and gather information is not fair nor is it jusifiable. I'm sure you want to put some more deletions under your belt, but do it to another page. There was still NO LOGICAL explanation on to why the page was marked for deletion in the first place because there are COUNTLESS amounts of pages that lack resources and verifiable information. Please stop doing the absolute most & enjoy your day gentlemen. User talk:Urbaninformative Question? —Preceding undated comment added 16:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All info that could make him somewhat notable is unsourced and I doubt some of it is true at all (signed to Young Money? featured on We Are Young Money? Google doesn't seem to think so.) Even if that was true still fails WP:NMUSIC. Urbaninformative's comment above is WP:OTHER and I'd also suggest him to keep civil. 2Flows (talk) 17:57, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There seems to be enough evidence of WP:MUSIC notability. Also it has been updated with more/better sources. hiphopfeign ^Talk 19:32, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete again Previous discussion covers it. No media coverage (or any other reliable sources) cited to establish WP:NOTABILITY. Most of the references that are cited are either IMDB-like artist pages that duplicate the same information, or links to purchase art; these are not the same as media coverage, nor indicative of widespread respect in the field. Appears to be simply self-promotional content, created by a user whose username indicates they are a member of the same band as this artist. Josh3580_talk/hist 04:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lay (singer)

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

Not notable on his own. 70% of article content is about his band, no notable solo projects (movie or solo album). What is know about him peronally can be already found at List of Exo members. Teemeah ^{편지 (letter)} 11:27, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Informal letter

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

This looks like some kind of how-to guide. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:48, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless totally rewritten and referenced. The topic of letter format/style could be the subject of a valid encyclopedic article (as long as it steered clear of overtly how-to content), letter writing is the subject of a lot of academic attention these days[1][2][3][4], and Letter (message) could badly do with expansion. But this article is very far from an encyclopedic article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The article is a mess; that's not a reason to delete, but I suspect it's getting in the way of people forming a clear consensus on notabiltiy, which is the key issue here. So, let's keep the article for now and hopefully somebody will fix the structural issues. After that, if notability hasn't been established, it can come back here for another look. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Mighty Don't Kneel

The IP user 101.172.213.65 added the template to the article but apparently could not create the nomination page. They left the following comment on the talk page of the article: This tag team has no substantive coverage outside of Japan, and even within Japan it appears promotional only. Plenty of unsubstantiated claims without sources in the article. To this end this fails WP:N and WP:GNG. Neither have been established.

Keep International tag team currently contracted to Pro Wrestling NOAH, a major Japanese wrestling company. KingMorpheus (talk) 22:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability is not inherited from Pro Wrestling NOAH. No sourced activity outside Japan if there is any activity, therefore not an international tag team. Activity in Japan appears limited to one company, therefore fails WP:GNG in my opinion. BerleT (talk) 21:08, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They've worked in ROH and OVW. Your opinion is wrong. KingMorpheus (talk) 04:49, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added a source proving they've wrestled in at least 6 promotions in Australia, Japan and USA. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 05:50, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One match in ROH does not make them notable. Only one promotion in Australia is somewhat suspicious, and it seems that the vast majority of their matches have been with NOAH. I maintain my position that they are not an international tag team. The only concession I'll give them is adding the word "yet". BerleT (talk) 07:39, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep NOAH Champions and Tokyo Sports' tag team of the year. The article, though, is horrible and needs some serious work.リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (talk) 11:52, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability not established. Champions in one promotion and winning one award that is not well known outside of the area does not make a case and not enough evidence to prove any international standing per BerleT. Needs to do a lot more to pass WP:GNG. Agree with Ribbon about the quality of the article as well. Little coverage in English, which also goes to notability. 58.165.7.185 (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non notable tag team with some even less notable one off hanger-onners. Agree with BerleT that any notability is inherited from NOAH and doesn't stand up on it's own. 203.17.215.22 (talk) 23:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Ali

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

I came across this article while trying to find coverage for a film he created, Fatima. At first I looked at the article briefly and figured that due to the claims, that he would be notable and that I wouldn't really have to worry about finding sources. You can see the original state of the article here. Now what I quickly discovered while looking for sources is that this guy has a history of outright lying about his accomplishments per this newspaper. Supposedly he's not only worked as a model, singer, and director, but he's also on the boards for several big production companies and he's one of several people who have to OK films before they can even hit the streets or get made. That's just one of the things that he's asserted or that the article has asserted about him. I'd have just speedied this as a hoax, but the guy is real even if most of his claims apparently aren't and I'd like for a few people to verify this by looking for sources. There are only about three sources, which aren't enough to show notability. While searching for things, remember that the claims for Ali and his films should be taken with a grain of salt. Supposedly his film won several awards, was put through LionsGate, BBC was backing it, etc, but apparently all of those claims are false. The same person who reported the first claims was the same person who wrote the article saying that the guy was making everything up. I have a feeling that Ali himself has been editing the article, given the way some of the article was edited. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:02, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Five Minutes to Twelve

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

Lacks even the IMDb votes, fails to meet WP:NFILM and GNG. Alex^{discussion ★} 09:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Could not find enough info to justify notability, though I'm admittedly unfamiliar with the language of the film. Award that the film won seems to be at a film festival of unclear importance (award mentioned in rkt.rs article/interview). A google translation of the Serbian Wikipedia article (also nominated for deletion) consists of "5 to 12 ( Eng. Five Minutes to Twelve) is a Serbian short film from the 2013th The director of the film is Elijah Dodić and starring Natalija Radic , Andrew Colic , Milena Novakovic and Vanja Todorovic . Film speaks on the topic of juvenile unwanted pregnancy in Serbia. [1] The film won first place at the Short Film Festival Tik-Tak Fest 2013th [2]" --Agyle (talk) 15:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Agyle: You're right. Award was fairly trivial, a non-important competition organized for elementary schoolers. Alex^{discussion ★} 17:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, based on the Serbian wikipedia article deletion discussion, the festival had 14 entries, on the topic of unwanted pregnancies, from 8th-12th grade students. Elementary school, in the US, typically means school up to the 5th or 6th grade, around age 10-12. --Agyle (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. Martin451 23:37, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb includes user-submitted content, and uses different inclusion criteria than Wikipedia, including being “of general public interest.” That is met by any work that is publicly displayed, including any video uploaded for public viewing on the internet (e.g. YouTube). So inclusion on IMDb does not indicate notability, as Wikipedia defines it. From Dodić Ilija's name, I would guess this is the creator of the work, and is not an unbiased judge of this issue. Please don't take this personally, I sincerely hope you become a well known filmmaker, but right now I do not think this film nor its creator meet Wikipedia's notability standard. --Agyle (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Agyle: The organizers of the movie festival have created this article, if you think that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standard I respect your opinion. Just to clarify, I didn't mean nothing bad when I wrote that IMDb proves its importance. --Dodić Ilija 22:27, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Klee Irwin

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

I began removing poorly-sourced contentious material about this BLP, such as material cited to a warning letter from the FDA, a document from the SEC and a press release from the DA. After removing BLP violations, there were no sources left, and all I found in a Google News search was ~~this blurb~~(my bad, this was an ad). Subject does not appear to have substantial coverage in independent sources. Prior AfDs appear to only barely have skid by on Keep and only because editors presumed it was well-sourced, when it actually only had primary sources. CorporateM (Talk) 08:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment User:CorporateM has in the course of all his removals completely whitewashed an article on a man whose name appears on pretty much every blog tracking medical scams and quackery, these being his only claims to noteriety. I am not up on exactly which of these has gained our respect, if any, but it is a leadpipe cinch that the current state of the article cannot be retained, not because it is unsourced, but because it is a knowing misrepresentation. I would personally prefer to keep an article, but if we cannot come to an agreement as to which documentation of his misdeeds is acceptable, deletion would have to be preferred. Mangoe (talk) 15:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLPPRIMARY says "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person" and WP:BLPREMOVE says to remove such content, even if it means violating the three-revert rule. WP:BLPSPS says to avoid self-published sources like blogs. Additionally our notability criteria requires that there be multiple, reliable secondary sources that cover the topic in depth for the article to remain. I cannot assess whether the article is an accurate representation of the BLP's reputation or conduct - I can only evaluate the application of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. CorporateM (Talk) 16:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you cannot, but I can and do make such an assessment, regardless of what I may write in Wikipedia. The lecture on policy notwithstanding, the current version is patently misleading to anyone who does a Google search on this guy. I did not register an opinion as to whether the article should be deleted because I am unsure whether his notoriety can be sourced to our standards; however, I would strenuously object to retaining it as it currently stands. Mangoe (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I've voted the other way before on the article because the argument for deletion was weak. This is a better argument. I've research press on the guy and have found almost nothing; there is nothing that shows the person as notable. Jeremy112233 (talk) 18:58, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Reviewed the contents of the AfDs plural. Reviewed the article itself. The only citation in the version I reviewed was being used to support a sentence with 2 claim elements - 1: that SU is unaccredited (which is in the citation) and 2: that the subject of this BLP helped found SU (but I cant find where the source mentions the subject of this BLP at all). I deleted the citation because it incompletely supported the text, particularly the element that might have been relevant to the BLP. As such, the citation was misleading. Which leaves the rest of the article as a rickety tickety donkey bridge, except there is no donkey and no bridge. FeatherPluma (talk) 23:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dane Rauschenberg

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

Non-notable athlete; coverage is all superficial local stuff. Orange Mike | Talk 07:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article makes a rather specific claim of notability per WP:N in terms of his efforts to run a series of 52 marathons over a span of a year, and backs uo that claim of notability with a few dozen reliable and verifiable sources that include major newspapers and magazines, who were covering Rauschenberg and his efforts to achieve his goal. So many articles discussed at AfD make tenuous claims of notability and are kept with the argument that there may well be more sources available. This article far exceeds the standards of retention in Wikipedia in general and goes well beyond nearly all articles kept at AfD. Alansohn (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Xxanthippe. There does not seem to be enough here or elsewhere. Three of the cited references don't refer to Professor Saif-ud-din. The book Tareekh-e-Aqwam-e-Kashmir (1934) briefly mentions his uncle. The most substantive reference is the last one about the reinstatement of the short-lived annual football tournament in his name. The event which was started in early 80’s in memory of Professor Saif-ud-din who was associated with the institute as student, professor and then administrator. There is just not any substantive coverage, nor is it clear exactly where his notability lies, except locally at the college. I have not seen a copy of the book Kashmir Stray Thoughts (2013) which is a collection of essays about the recent political history of Jammu and Kashmir, but substantive coverage of Professor Saif-ud-din is unlikely, as he was not a political figure. Research is complicated by the fact that Saif-ud-din is not an uncommon name. I found more than I wanted to known about Sultan Saif-ud-din of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty of Bengal. The college history of Sri Pratap College mentions him in one sentence: And Administrator Like Prof. M. U. Moore, Prof. Vinamali Chakarvati, Prof. Jia Lal Kaul And Prof. Saif-Ud- Din Have Served The College And Contributed To The Level That The Hundreds Of The College Alumni Rose To Eminence In Different Fields Of Human Activity In The State, By Occupying Important Positions.

Merge/ Redirect to hudband's article. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:59, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject is also an actress and a TV show co-host. I have added additional information to reflect this. BTW, the article was marked with the stub template, which --at a minimum-- can help relay to other editors that the subject of the article presummed notable but needs more information. The article needed additional information and some additional info has been provided that clarifies notability and reflects the subjects' relevance. Mercy11 (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Despite your recent edits, this article still appears to be a product of inherited notability. I'll admit, she may have a minor level of notability as a TV personality, but her "rise to acting fame" (as noted in the article) consists of a minor role in one film and an appearance in a theatre production. Her modeling career isn't very notable either; she hasn't appeared in any major fashion magazines. When I searched for "Maripily Rivera" on Google, about 75% of the results were just paparazzi/gossip sites with her pictures and details of her personal life. I still think the article should be deleted, but I would also support a merger with the Alomar article. Blackjays1 (talk) 18:22, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At Wikipedia we decide delete nominations based on consensus, not on whether or not something "appears" to be something. Over a dozen unique references from independent secondary reliable sources were provided in the article, plus another list is provided in this discussion by another editor. The consensus so far is that every non drive-by editor here familiar with the subject of the article has objected to the delete. Also, we don't categorize notability as you have (" minor level of notability"): someone is notable or is not. The pertinent notability criteria is summarized at WP:ANS, and this article fulfills all criteria ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject") several times over, as required HERE. If your objection now is with the use of the phrase "her rise to acting fame" then this is really a WP:Content dispute and WP:DISPUTE needs to be followed, not WP:AFD. But if you are saying she is not notable because she doesn't appear in any of the magazines listed at Wikipedia's List of fashion magazines article that you wikilinked us to, then that would be a fallacy for two reasons: (1) WP:N and WP:PEOPLE make no mention of appearing in a fashion magazine as a prerequisite to being considered notable, and (2) you haven't proved she doesn't appear in any of those magazines, you have simply speculated she doesn't. In any event, if you found about 75% of Google results on her were gossip sites, that would be consistent with someone, anyone, who is in show business, as is the case of this actress/model/TV host. Merging would not be appropriate here either as her article can stand on its own right. Mercy11 (talk) 13:47, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of the fact that this nomination is based on consensus, otherwise I wouldn't have nominated it in the first place. Since you put your own spin on my words, let me clarify a few things for you: Rivera is a model, actress, and TV personality, therefore it made sense for me to confirm her lack of notability by searching for evidence of it in each of her professions. I was not implying that she had to appear in a major fashion magazine in order for her to be notable, but it certainly helps, and since she's a model, major fashion magazines should be the first place to search for notability. I also didn't have to prove that she didn't appear in those magazines, because I did extensive research, it wasn't speculation. As for her "acting fame", I didn't have a problem with you using that term (thus rendering a WP:DISPUTE pointless), but I quoted it to show that it was unwise to use that term, especially since her acting career is not notable (which is still a WP:AFD issue). Once again, you may have a case when it comes to her TV career, but I stand by my original opinion: delete or merge. Maybe a weak keep, but I wouldn't go that far. Blackjays1 (talk) 01:25, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She was already a TV personality and a celebrity before Alomar. A proper google search will show continuous media coverage, to the point of obsession, by major Spanish media as the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia. And searching Google News will produce recent news article that are not related to her relationship with Alomar so a merger is not appropriate. I understand that most of the sources are in Spanish but this is never a reason for deletion. --Jmundo (talk) 19:44, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep From what I can tell (not having heard of her before this), she is non-notable in all the professions listed in the article (model, actress, TV personality), as well as several not listed (journalist, businessperson, fashion designer); however, I think she has attained notability as a celebrity, famous simply for being famous, within a sizable consumer demographic. While it seems an oddly post-modernist criterion, Wikipedia:ENT#Entertainers considers celebrities who have “a large fan base or a significant ‘cult’ following” to be notable, regardless of whether they've done anything notable. It's also worth bearing in mind that Puerto Rico has a population around 1% of the US population, so level of fame/celebrity within that community should be viewed somewhat relatively. Regarding the lack of fashion magazine covers mentioned earlier, a pre-2007 (before associating with Alomar) google search suggests her modeling career was as a bikini model rather than fashion model. --Agyle (talk) 21:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I am just wondering why this page should be deleted but in the list of BBS systems found at List_of_bulletin_board_systems, most of the other systems listed here do not have any sources but are allowed to stay on Wikipedia. I feel that if Solomon's Temple BBS is deleted then so should these other systems that have been on this list such as Demon_Roach_Underground, to give an example. I do see how the article can look promotional as this was not intended. I was just showing the services that the board hosts. I am also looking for suggestions for improving the article. I have been looking at adding more sources but this is hard considering most of the sources for BBS systems were from the time this system was just getting started and some sources would be on sites that are no longer on the internet.Williammea05 (talk) 05:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. There's nothing meaningful to say that's not covered in that more general article (if there was a significant long-running controversy about the US's non-recognition, that might merit a separate article, but there's not).

Lists of in-game soundtracks with no external claims of notability are classic video game trivia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Prod removed. Topic fails GNG by itself, as only mentions are the full track listings and no dedicated critical commentary, but a mention of the highlights in the main article's prose would make sense. czar ♔ 15:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge.GTA is mentioned as being more notable and having more significant cultural impact than the Saint's Row series, per other deletion articles. However, this is highly arguable, as both series have a significant following. I'd sooner suggest merging a more simplified version of the tracklisting to the actual game's article than straight deleting the articles while retaining none of the information. Would suggest the same for the GTA soundtrack articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.14.55.22 (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC) — 184.14.55.22 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Series popularity/following (or any other series) doesn't have any impact on their notability and especially their soundtrack's individual notability. The only criteria is notability as defined by Wikipedia, namely WP:GNG. Popularity and notability very often overlap, but similarly a popular thing can be non-notable just as an unpopular thing can be notable. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. I see soruces for teh release [17][18], but nothing offers critical commentary besides generic "here is a list of tracks". I can't find anything else of significant coverage and nothing outside the sources about the game itself. I don't suggest merging, as this will make main article unwieldy and a list of every track isn't essential information. The main article already has a sourced prose section on soundtrack and audio, which is sufficient. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. I am somewhat reluctant about this since I suspect that the user who started this article, Mk08111, is likely related to the subject. Also, the article is a mess. But the fact is I have seen Kito on television many times as a commentator and he does specialize in what the article says he specializes in: cult incidents and consumer fraud cases. There are a number of articles centered on him: [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], etc. He also appears in other articles as the leading lawyer for some plaintiff, such as in the Agura Bokujo case [24] or in the Unification Church case [25] or the Kinmirai Tsushin case [26]. He's also often sought out by news organizations for expert opinion on Aum Supreme Truth [27], mind control [28], or other cases [29]. The article already cites some English articles that note his role as a lawyer. I'm sure I could find more if I go through the newspaper databases. The article needs to be cleaned up, especially with regard to WP:COI, but he passes WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 03:20, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this is largely covered already at List of Star Trek novels, which lists them by which TV cast is featured and annotates with an in-universe timeline. All this list does is add some comic book stories, which are also already covered at List of comic books based on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Given that Star Trek spin-off fiction notes that these are non-canon, it's not even that useful to fans to combine the lists because there's no pretense that they form some coherent meta-narrative across the different forms of media. So delete as duplicative and as irrelevant trivia. postdlf (talk) 01:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this film is real, there is no indication it is notable: no coverage in independent reliable sources (the only source given was bogus), no one notable in the production (in fact, only one name is given "George Smith"), etc. I am unable to find any reference to this film, either as "Corner Mission" or "Mission d'angle" (not even IMDb...). I am unable to find any reference to a "Caméra Forte Studios". "George Smith"? Sure, IMDb has over 20 of them...

~~Weak Delete~~ There are a couple of articles in Chinese that mention the company ([30] and [31]). This first seems press release-y. The second one also seems somewhat like a press release, though it discusses some kind of award for one of their products, Foxit Reader, but I'm not sure that it's a particularly important award. There is a listing from MBDA showing the company won an award for being a "Minority Global Technology Firm" award-- though it tied with another organization. I might be inclined to support keeping the article if there is some more substantial coverage of the company itself. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 23:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Their product Foxit Reader is fairly well known. Here are some articles in Chinese on Foxit, in addition to what user (I JethroBT) provided. [32] [33] [34] [35]. Note that the first 3 is about the central Chinese government choosing Foxit software as the designated pdf software provider. The 4th is like a press release, but it also corroborates the fact that the Chinese government procured Foxit Reader from Foxit software. Note that the 3rd one is from Xinhua, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government.

Keep - Satisfies WP:GNG with these articles that represent significant coverage from independent and seemingly reliable sources (if someone wants to call them not-reliable, they'll need to back that up): [36][37][38][39]. "No indication of notability" isn't a reason for deletion at WP:AFD which has been clearly explained at WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Simply doing a Google News search for Foxit produced all of these articles. Maybe these references can be disputed when it comes to establishing notability but did any delete !votes even check before !voting? These were as easy to find as it comes. If you found no references, it helps the discussion to show what searches you did that resulted in no references. Otherwise, your !vote is baseless and not very useful. OlYeller21^Talktome 05:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@OlYeller21: These sources provide coverage of the product Foxit Reader, for which we already have an article; they do not provide significant coverage about the company.

Redirect to Foxit Reader per Justlettersandnumbers. I think given that this is the company's most notable product and the lack of coverage of the company, this woill serve more usefully as a redirect. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 15:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But it is only lack of english coverage though. In Chinese media, there are plenty of mention as shown by the link I have given above.

List of cemeteries in the United States

AfDs for this article:

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

A potentially infinite list. There are more cemeteries in a single region of a single state than there are currently on this list for the entire country. This should be left to a category and not a list. Gamaliel (talk) 00:24, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nomination as an indiscriminate and potentially enormous list. A category makes far more sense. A list of cemeteries is inappropriate. Edison (talk) 03:10, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep This would leave the US as the one country of 30 or so major countries that would lack such a list. See Lists of cemeteries. That there might be many items in the list is not a reason to get rid of it, but only a reason to subdivide the list by US state. Hmains (talk) 04:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Most of the items on the list have their own entry and the argument for having the category and not the list fails WP:CLN. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NOTDUP. That said, the notion of limiting the article to only entries that have Wikipedia articles or at least to only include content that is verified would be beneficial. As this list grows, WP:SPINOFF articles can always be created per state, which addresses the notion of it becoming too long. Northamerica1000^(talk) 09:53, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Includes many notable cemeteries. Topic is notable per books such as The Last Great Necessity: Cemeteries in American History by David Charles Sloane (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995); The American Resting Place: 400 Years of History Through Our Cemeteries and Burial Grounds by Marilyn and Reed Yalom (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2008), etc. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:09, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Split into individual states? aycliffe^talk 12:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Split per state per arguments above. VMS Mosaic (talk) 13:50, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete Montgomery County, Maryland alone has upward of three hundred known cemeteries [46]; it's a safe guess that the tally for the whole country would head into the hundreds of thousands. The argument that we have these for other countries only proves that they are kept to a reasonable length because nobody here knows enough about them to populate them, which would also be the limiting factor here. The English list in particular is (the creators hope) held to a reasonable length by excluding all churchyards, an arbitrary and questionable cutoff. It's also a problem that the quality of documentation varies wildly from place to place; that map I linked to is a testimony to the thoroughness of county planners, but two other Maryland counties I checked had no similar level of documentation (e.g. there's no way that neighboring Howard County has only twenty-five cemeteries as found listed on one site). I don't see a way to do this that doesn't involve the kind of arbitrary limitation we already see, and indeed I propose that all other comprehensive lists of cemetery-by-place be deleted as well. Mangoe (talk) 15:41, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some reason you think this can't be broken into sub-lists (per state/county)? And/or restricted to notable cemeteries? --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would imagine that lists of notable US cemeteries already exist in the form of subsets of NRHP listings; I could certainly be wrong about that. If lists that contained significantly better information than categories could be constructed, I wouldn't object, but I don't see how any division larger than a state would work, and some states (e.g. NY) might need to be broken down by county. There's also the question of what information to record.

Looking at the construction of this thing already, I see wildly differing levels of detail. Many state section list only name and location; Maryland has blue-linked articles with links to major burials. Montana on the other hand has comprehensive lists for each county e.g. List of cemeteries in Beaverhead County, Montana. If we go the latter route, List of cemeteries in Montgomery County, Maryland gets three hundred-plus entries, impeccably sourced, and it would be possible in some counties, I imagine, to not only source every cemetery but the text of every stone and perhaps even all presently unmarked burials.

I went along with making list articles of lighthouses in each US state only because it did seem to me that a tabular presentation of the major data was meaningful; the full list of lights for the country has in practice served as a checklist of article to create, and is mostly sourced to lists for each state maintained by the Coast Guard that other sources agree is largely comprehensive if not absolutely perfect. It's also hugely pushing the limits of what can be practically presented in a single list. Here I'm not seeing the same kind of certainty; instead I see a huge difference of opinion as to how much to include. As I said above, I do not believe we can source every state to the extent that apparently is possible in Montana. I could be wrong about that too, of course. But I just do not see the utility of of a unified nationwide list. Mangoe (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom- shove all in to a category. -→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 16:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is a category better than a list? A category with 1000 entries is just as hard to navigate. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:23, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the category were to be in alphabetical order it would be a whole lot easier to navigate and alot quicker to load compared to this article. -→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 16:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ample blue links in the article. This list is useful for navigation. And it doesn't list every single cemetery in the nation, obviously, it list the notable ones. If it doesn't have its own Wikipedia article and isn't on any historic registry, then no reason to have it on the list. Dream Focus 00:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The "infinite" argument fails WP:NOTPAPER and the category argument fails WP:CLN. Andrew (talk) 18:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Edison, Hmains, Lugnuts, Northamerica1000, and Colapeninsula. Remove the red links (or create artilces on those), and make sub-lists, but don't delete a perfectly useful list. Until very recently, perhaps the last generation, visiting cemetaries in America was a major entertainment. @Davey, some people will likely need to navigate by state. Bearian (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Split - it's certainly not infinite, but it probably should be split. Greg Bard (talk) 19:34, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, then Split & Specialize - I think a separate list for each state / territory is in order, plus a speciallized list, List of U.S. Veterans Cemeteries. Peaceray (talk) 23:40, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
