- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was Snow close. This isn't a hoax per se since this is about a fictional world, but the lack of any coverage for this as of yet unreleased series shows a clear lack of notability. There is a valid concern over this being a promotional article as well. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Contested PROD. Non notable fictional universe. Some references are spurious. Note that the disclaimer notifying the reader that this is all tosh was at the bottom of the article: I moved it to the top, since there was no mention of the fact that this is all a figment of a somebody's imagination. TheLongTone (talk) 23:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - fails all inclusion criteria miserably. Potentially appropriate for {{db-hoax}} or the speedy deletion criteria currently being considered relating to people using WP as a webhost. Stalwart111 00:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Strong Delete This one is off the charts in failing... well everything. Concur with Stalwart111 that this comes very close to WP:HOAX material. -Ad Orientem (talk) 06:33, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete as an elaborate hoax. At best, fiction with no real world notability. The citations are bogus. Most of the external links for the cited authorities are at free hosting websites. The Far Forest Scrolls website suggests this is an unpublished project. Not enough to satisfy WP:V. • Gene93k (talk) 19:10, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Reopening AfD on request. I had previously speedily closed the third AfD. Due to the greater than one month interval, I will instead open a fourth AfD and refer back to the third AfD for nominator's argument and reasoning. Safiel (talk) 23:20, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge-
This is the 2nd nomination in 2 months.A need resources tag needs to be added, because there have to be sources for this. This is more than a definition for Wiktionary, because there is explanation or theory behind it. - Sidelight12 Talk 03:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- 15:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- So where are those sources? Without them, how can we have a meaningful article, even as a stub? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- 15:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I asked the closer of the previous AFD to reopen it, after I had closed Talk:Baader-Meinhof phenomenon#RfC:_Page_name.
It was clear from that RFC that editors were impeded from discussing the fate of the article by the lack of reliable sources. However, the 3rd AFD had been snow-closed by a non-admin only 16 hours after it opened, despite the lack of sources and despite the 2nd AFD having had much greater participation and led to the article's deletion for lack of sources.
This is a perverse situation. Notability is not an abstract policy. It reflects the fact that Wikipedia articles are based on reliable secondary sources, and without those sources a topic cannot be covered in accordance with agreed standards for verifiability. I have no dogs in this race, other than a desire to avoid this perverse situation of editors being unable to manage an article because of a lack of the reliable sources necessary for its existence.
I hope that this AFD will be allowed to run its full 7 days, so that editors can assess whether anything significant has changed since the second AFD. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:00, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I added a few more sources to the article, but they're not high quality sources. If I were to recommend keeping this article it would be because the term seems to have some small amount of traction and someone might actually want to look it up here. On the other hand, my real preference would for this to be a redirect to some more serious article on a psychological phenomenon, with perhaps a small section describing this light-hearted colloquial name for it. However, I don't know enough about it to recommend a merge target and the people who seem to know enough about it don't seem to be able to agree on exactly what psychological effect this is another name for. Thus I don't feel comfortable yet recommending a merge here; where would we merge it to? Perhaps if people who understand the issue can come to consensus on where it should be merged to it would be easier to come to a conclusion here.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 15:20, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- The RFC reached no consensus on where if any to merge to. The lack of good quality sources makes it difficult. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:08, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Attentional bias would be a good place for it, except it doesn't account for the surge of use of a rarely known word because it was used in popular media. - Sidelight12 Talk 17:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- List of cognitive biases, which includes a definition of the apparent synonym “frequency illusion”, would be another possibility, based on the definition in Arroyo 2013. ––Agyle (talk) 02:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- @alf laylah wa laylah: witt all respect to your efforts, I have to notice that all these sources you added are not reliable sources in the context of the article: they are not coming from experts in psychology or smth. All these articles speak of something else, then throw in a cute word, and then thorw in an explanation of this word, possibly even snipped off wikipedia :-) When I was looking at this article some time ago, I saw mutlitudes of such references, but added none for this reason: there references are useless: they are just usage examples and do not contribute encyclopedic context (beyond your slight original research: it is your observation that "Its usage has since spread to other areas of the United States[4] and elsewhere in the English-speaking world").Staszek Lem (talk) 00:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yep, I'm completely aware of all of that. It's why I put the quotes from the sources into the citations. I'm just grooming it for its big moment on stage, not arguing that it should be kept.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Now I'm really confused. When searching the scholarly literature, this phrase seems mostly to be used to discuss the phenomenon of the seemingly anomolous support for the Baader-Meinhof gang among the German middle class or the seemingly inexplicably radikalisierten Kinder der Nazi-Generation. Perhaps even leaving this as a redirect without some kind of disambiguation would do our readers a serious disservice.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see this as confusing. The phrase “Baader-Meinhof phenomenon” occurs as a description of the rise and popularity of the militant group, the same way you could speak of the Tea Party phenomenon or Justin Bieber phenomenon. It is also the name of a specific psychological “phenomenon” or cognitive bias, which is the subject of this article. In practice it seems that context always makes it clear which is intended. ––Agyle (talk) 01:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, perhaps I spoke to soon. While the context always seems clear, at least one author (see books.google snippet-view) has used the term as a name for a phenomenon related to the militant group (in that author's definition, it seems to mean the state's overreaction to the militant group, which does not seem to match the more descriptive use of the phrase by other authors referring to the formation, rise, and activities of the militant group). If it is being used as a name in reliable sources, rather than as a general descriptive phrase, then some form of disambiguation is appropriate. ––Agyle (talk) 02:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep based strictly on the nominator's WP:ONEDAY and WP:OR grounds for deletion (listed in the 3rd nomination). I found five reliable-source books that mention the term. All are minor/trivial coverage of the topic (two are in fictional novels), but I think they invalidate the WP:ONEDAY basis for the third nomination, and validate Safiel's speedy keep closure of the third nomination based on WP:SNOW. If the deletion nomination were based on notability or some other grounds, that should be clarified so we know what we're trying to evaluate; I'm not going to delve into the topic more deeply than necessary.

- You're citing novels that contain the phrase as reliable sources that speak to its notability? And doing it with a straight face? And books on SEO-clickbait-blah-blah-etc.? Didn't it occur to you that everyone here already saw those and rejected them?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 03:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Alf laylah wa laylah, no, I tried to make it clear that I am specifically not addressing notability, as that wasn't challenged in the most recent two AfD nominations. Tegrenath's AfD nomination contended that the topic was at least close to simply being made up (“Wikipedia is not for things made up one day” – see WP:ONEDAY). I find your attitude insulting and inappropriate; please keep the discussion civil. ––Agyle (talk) 05:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- I will certainly continue to keep the discussion civil, yes.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 05:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - I was pushing for deletion a bit ago but people really seemed to be trying to figure it out. As it stands now, I think the state of the article and editor consensus is even worse than before. If there is any scrap of information to be salvaged, I propose it be placed into a page with a broader purview that others have mentioned, such as the list of cognitive biases.
Regarding citations, the entire backbone of the page is based on an e-magazine article written by "staff" that's 3 paragraphs long. I don't doubt the facts it conveys, but I don't see any sense in clamoring for reliable sources when the very definition of the article's topic comes from what I feel is a poor one. I acknowledge that it has begun to appear with more frequency in reliable sources but notability of the topic is only one small piece of why I support deletion. It's quite messy. Tegrenath (talk) 05:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete After a diligent search, it turns out that while the meaning and usage of this phrase are easily established, there are no reliable sources which contain more than passing mentions or even, what's worse, mere uses, of it. Thus does it fail to meet the GNG.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 05:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. It looks like the few solid references to the term are all in discussions of the group itself, and not about this cognitive bias. We might consider redirecting this to the group and adding things to the group's article regarding people's support for it, but having an article on a cognitive bias with this name is untenable. Nyttend (talk) 15:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. The discussion has revealed no reliable sources which provide more than a passing mention of the topic. Without reliable sources, it fails WP:GNG because there is nothing on which to base an article.
The topic may of course be mentioned in any other articles, but there is no foundation for for a standalone article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC) - Keep: There is sufficient sourcing and sources available to support notability. Deleting it for a failure to find subjectively sufficient sources seems to have little value. Some articles are meant to be short.--Milowent • hasspoken 01:31, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- Weak Delete, probably a bit more prevalent than your garden variety neologism, given that it's mentioned in sources like Arroyo listed above. But still no substantial and independent coverage, as far as I can tell. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC).

Speedy deletion request was declined because this artist claims to have exhibited at a "Duke of Richmond award in Chichester" - I can't even find evidence that such an award exists (though the National Open Art Competition is run by the Chichester Art Trust). The only news coverage I can see about him is an interview in AND magazine, whose journalism is so light weight the introduction is a copy-paste of Fannin's Wikipedia article! On the basis of the one dubious claim to notability and the fact the remainder of the article seems to be a promotion of his business activites cited to his websites, I believe this definitely fails WP:GNG spectacularly. Sionk (talk) 23:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- comment according to http://www.thenationalopenartcompetition.com/brochure/#/6/zoomed "This competition was established by our President the 10th Duke of Rochester in 1996", which seems to validate the name of he award to some extent. Any overly promotional content can of course be edited to be NPOV. DES (talk) 01:37, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Wel, yes, but only if the subject was notable and there were reliable sources to use to support the article. Being one of 70-or-so exhibitors at an exhibition doesn't make an artist notable. Sionk (talk) 03:09, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. This article could be improved, but the topic is most likely notable, as Årets navn is mentioned in other articles in main stream media in Norway, like NRK (Norwegian National Broadcasting) [1]. VG's award of Årets navn is one of the most well-known awards in Norway, as it annually gathers an at least six digit number of votes in a country with five million citizens. There is a factual error in the article, as VG just ranks as the second biggest newspaper in Norway (messured by number of copies printed). Grrahnbahr (talk) 23:06, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Could you perhaps improve the article by expanding a bit on why it's notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? You need to cite from multiple, independent third party sources, per WP:GNG. Or at least direct me to where I could find this information? I wasn't able to find anything myself along these lines. If you have reliable sources for what you say here, I'd be happy to withdraw my nomination. mikeman67 (talk) 17:54, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep: I dunno if I should vote as I've created the article concerned. Whilst I admit the content of the article is rather sparse, a deletion will mean that articles for several smaller prizes, like Norwegian of the Year (Ny Tid), have to go, too.
By the way, I can't understand why I named it Name of the Year.[I didn't.] It should be moved to Name of the Year (VG), as there are heaps of similar awards around the world. No More 18 (talk) 04:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)- Hey there. Generally, things like WP:Other stuff exists aren't considered an inherently valid argument for keeping an article - see WP:Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. As those articles mention, anyone can create an article, and this doesn't establish other articles' notability. After all, it was you who created Norwegian of the Year (Ny Tid). However, I do see that Grrahnbahr makes some interesting points about the award's notability that warrant some consideration. I think if some valid, independent, third party sources can be found it would help a lot. mikeman67 (talk) 17:54, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

This is the third creation of this article which has been twice deleted before (G-11 and A-7). It remains what it was, unambiguous WP:SPAM. Sources hugely fail WP:RS. Respectfully urge deletion with prejudice. Ad Orientem (talk) 21:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Unremarkable blog that fails WP:WEB; the only independent source (RealClimate) doesn't even mention the blog. Other sources mention it in passing, [2] [3] but nothing really significant. The closest anything comes to significant coverage in a reliable source is this post on National Review's blog, which is a blog and as such may not be reliable. Even if it is, though, more RSs would be needed to establish notability, and I couldn't find many other such sources. Jinkinson talk to me 20:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. Good amount of secondary source coverage. According to The Boston Herald (February 3, 2007) it is not just a blog but also a climate change working group. Hundreds of sources in Google Books for search of terms "Icecap" with "D'Aleo". Also try searching for Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 04:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Cirt, I didn't come across the Herald article; could you provide a link or citation? Also, searches on books.google.com (and other Google searches) do not return results that only contain the search terms; it uses an algorithm to guess at what results might interest the searcher. So while books.google.com returned around 110 results, maybe 25 actually contained "d'aleo" and "icecap", and of those, a half dozen or so are self-published. Also, I found hundreds of hits in google, but no independently-published reliable sources with more than a trivial sentence about the organization. I'll definitely reconsider my decision if any significant coverage turns up. ––Agyle (talk) 03:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, turns out it's not a secondary source, as it was written by D'Aleo, but it was indeed published in The Boston Herald, for what it's worth. Article title: "As you were saying … Alarmists, just chill out". Hope that is helpful, — Cirt (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yep, thanks. Highbeam has the first three paragraphs of the editorial (the rest is paywalled), and a forum post contains its apparent full text. Icecap doesn't seem to be mentioned; perhaps it occurs as part of the title in the author's signature, which isn't included in the forum post. ––Agyle (talk) 06:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

- Merge summarized version to Joseph D'Aleo, and include disambiguation on Icecap (disambiguation) (D'Aleo is founder of the organization and website, executive director of the organization). Fails general or website notability, and while there are several citations in reliable sources to papers from ICECAP, I could not find any independent reliable source coverage of the organization itself or its website more a one-sentence description. The Wikipedia article's title and opening sentence give the misimpression that ICECAP is simply a blog rather than an organization. As Cirt notes, it is the website of "International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project"; the organization's website is variously described as a blog and a portal (its own one-sentence description of itself as a portal is widely used). This paper from The American Behavioral Scientist describes the organization as a "think tank", and lists affiliations of several authors (possibly "climate experts") who cite an affiliation with ICECAP. D'Aleo alone seems to list ICECAP as his primary affiliation, and many trivial references in reliable sources just mention ICECAP as they introduce or cite him (e.g. Reagan, Michael; Denney, Jim (2011). The New Reagan Revolution: How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness. St. Martin's Press. pp. 152, 361. ISBN 978-1-4299-8996-1.).
- There are maybe 20 reliable source independently-published books that cite papers published on ICECAP's website. While the mentions are not directly about the website, they do provide some indication of its notability. Here are the first half dozen I checked:
- Glover, Peter C.; Economides, Michael J. (2010). Energy and Climate Wars: How Naive Politicians, Green Ideologues, and Media Elites are Undermining the Truth about Energy and Climate. Continuum International Publishing Group. ISBN 978-1-4411-5307-4. Quotes D'Aleo and mentions and cites ICECAP several times.
- Smerconish, Michael A. (2009). Morning Drive: Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Talking. Globe Pequot Press. p. 289. ISBN 978-1-59921-517-4. Cites a paper from ICECAP on icecap.us.
- Hennen, Scott; Denney, Jim (5 July 2011). Grass Roots: A Commonsense Action Agenda for America. Simon and Schuster. p. 355. ISBN 978-1-4516-0896-0. Cites two papers from ICECAP on icecap.us.
- The Polar Times. American Polar Society. 2008. One sentence description of ICECAP & reference to one of their claims.
- Sunshine, Glenn S. (30 August 2009). Why You Think the Way You Do: The Story of Western Worldviews from Rome to Home. Zondervan. p. 167. ISBN 978-0-310-32354-9. Single-sentence quote and reference of an Icecap paper.
- Bassam, Nasir El; Maegaard, Preben (2013). Distributed Renewable Energies for Off-grid Communities: Strategies and Technologies Toward Achieving Sustainability in Energy Generation and Supply. Newnes. p. 183. ISBN 978-0-12-397178-4. Cites a paper from ICECAP on icecap.us.
- While the website's papers are cited by other works, and its director, D'Aleo, is widely quoted, the big problem is the lack of independent coverage about the organization itself. A quality Wikipedia article would be either nearly empty, or depend almost exclusively on information from icecap.us. I think it's better to list a pared-down description of the website in the article about D'Aleo.

No apparent notability. Sources are promotional. Article looks like a resume. This is the third creation of this article by a WP:SPA.

- This article is sourced from various sources and References are given in the article of various websites which features Pakistani or British Pakistani journalists and media personalities and they are very credible.I also studied various articles which are already on Wikipedia including the article on an other journalist of Pakistan, Hamid Mir. I tried to follow all the basic rules and writing style to improve this article.I believe there is no advertisement in it.If any thing in article in not fact I will be happy to consider that but raising objection without any solid reason seems biased to me.I am not sure what notability means in the eye of the person who is recommended the deletion.I request to kindly read the article again.If this article is against the Wikipedia Policy or look like resume then article regarding Mr.Mir and lot of other article which I studied and followed to write my article regarding Mr.Aslam must me deleted as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mian22 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete and salt - beyond WP:OTHERSTUFF, comparisons to Hamid Mir don't have much credibility. Inclusion here is determined by notability (WP:N) which usually requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I'm not seeing anything like that here. By comparison, Mir's career has been covered extensive in international press. Many of the sources provided seem self-published or to have been extracted from the same profile elsewhere. I certainly don't think they qualify as significant coverage in independent sources. Many are just directory sites where the subject is one of many listed - those do not confer notability. The LinkedIn-esque style of the article can be fixed but the lack of notability can't. Suggested this be creation-protected to ensure admin/community permission in the event of future proposed recreation. Stalwart111 01:08, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

This article seems to me to be an amalgam of some information from the Hinduism and Judaism, as well as from India–Israel relations and History of the Jews in India. There is no content on this page that indicates it merits a separate page. It is poorly written and sourced; most of the references are not scholarly works.

Withdrawn by nominator. The discussion, and the content now in the article, have convinced me the nomination is now unnecessary. In my defence, virtually all the significant content in the article was added by the creator after the nomination, and was from sources I was unaware of.

All in all this is obviously a serious topic for which many WP:RS and WP:V sources can be easily lined up. Effort should be put into improving the article. Perhaps contacting WP:EXPERT editors at Wikipedia talk:Hinduism-related topics notice board and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and asking for their input and help at improving the article would be a better service to building up WP as an encyclopedia.

- Don't make assumptions, JT. I DID indeed read those policies, very thoroughly, since this was the first time I was AfDing something. At that point, there was no content in there that precluded nomination. There was, in my opinion, not enough literature cited there to demonstrate notability, nor verifiability. I did indeed search for sources on the topic, and of course I found some, but they did not seem numerous enough to source an entire article. I also consulted another editor more experienced that myself before nominating. When the discussion here convinced me that the article could be salvaged, I withdrew the nomination. So, don't accuse me of bad faith, which is what you seem to be heading towards. Did you even read the article in the state it was when I nominated it? Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- @ Vanamonde93. Please do not take it personal. I have nothing against you or anyone else and assume good faith. I was just referring to the following suggestions referred to someone going for AfD in WP:BEFORE - If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, or an associated WikiProject, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as {notability}, {hoax}, {original research}, or {advert}; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to remedy it.

The subject of the article does not seem to be sufficiently notable. The topic of the article does not seem to have played a big role in the american war of independence. Also it does not cite any sources, and the article itself does not seem to be covered well by reliable sources. As such i don't think it qualifies as notable enough for a stand-alone article.

- "Withdrawn by nominator". Seeing the other editor's views and visiting and researching for sites related to the articles (which, i know, I should have done before nominating the article) I realized that I did a mistake in nominating this page. I probably did this in a hurry, which was pretty bad of me aw'right, and should have done better research on the topic beforehand. Well anyways, sorry for troubling you guys. I don't usually do this, and always double check what I do, this time..... Anyways, I'll improvise upon my mistake and withdraw this nomination. Sorry again :) Won't do this again.

Not notable. All references are simply guide books &c. It's also highly promotional. TheLongTone (talk) 17:02, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Additional sources have been included such as reference to a book about historic buildings in Ireland. There are over 760 results in google books for Marlfield House. Marlfield House is a historic Irish building, a protected (listed) structure built in 18th century. It was a former residence of Earls of Courtown and is definitely notable. --7eventy7 (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well in that case write an article about the house & cite it with references to architectural books. As it stands its a promotional article about a hotel which happens to be in a (rather unremarkable looking) Georgian houseTheLongTone (talk) 18:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have referenced to the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage and I hope this is sufficient. I was under the impression that it is important not only to mention the history of the house, but also to mention it's use as a hotel today. If mentioning that the house is used as a hotel is against any of the policies I would be most grateful if you could help rectifying any issues. Your personal opinion that the house is "rather unremarkable looking" is highly welcome but I am sure it may appear differently to other people and it should not be a basis for deletion! I would like to remind that the house is a historic Irish building, a protected structure and a former residence of Earl of Courtown and therefore it is notable. 7eventy7 (talk) 19:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Keep. Listed building, notable. --doncram 17:13, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment If being a listed building makes it notable, I withdraw the nomination. Article creator is under the misapprehension that this is is notable because of the hotel development which has shafted the front elevation, but I've scrubbed most of the spam I think.TheLongTone (talk) 17:20, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Besides being a listed building, a remarkable amount of substantial coverage from multiple independent sources on this topic. The nom seems only concerned it looks like an advert - see WP:SOFIXIT. They can simply place an advert tag on it or re-edit the article so it doesn't look so much like an advert . The nom needs to become familiar with WP:AFD and specifically its WP:BEFORE which states that if an article can be improved with normal editing, it's not a candidate for AfD.--Oakshade (talk) 03:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Hotels do rather tend to get mentioned in guide books and in the travel supplements of newspapers, much of which is PR driven. Ie the writer has been given a freebie. I don't think this really establishes notability.TheLongTone (talk) 16:44, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Quite an attack there on the integrity of both the New York Times and reporter Sarah Lyall! Do you you have a shred of evidence they received a "freebie" or does this WP:BLP violation need to be struck? (BLP applies to talk pages as well as main space.)--Oakshade (talk) 17:04, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- This is getting silly. TheLongTone had a legitimate point that the original article was promotional. And it is true in general that travel guide books etc can be slanted with PR, and likely influenced by freebies. There is no specific BLP, no "attack". My "Keep" vote above was based on it being a listed building, which wasn't added until later, after TheLongTone and others had already improved the article. I think without it being a listed building, my guess is that the consensus would have been to Keep, but it is the listed building status that clinches it.
- A lot of travel reports can be promotional, but a lot aren't. As a matter of fact, travel reporters routinely visit restaurants, hotels, etc. anonymously to ensure they don't get special treatment (ie "freebies"). TheLongTone is suggesting New York Times reporter Sarah Lyall was given a "freebie" in exchange for a promotional piece in the NYT. You really need evidence to back such a claim up.--Oakshade (talk) 17:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- What I sais was that PR freebies are not unknown and that the fact that a hotel has been written about in a travel supplement is not a valid claim of notability.TheLongTone (talk) 18:24, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Unless the NYT is not an independent source or it's a paid advertising for the topic, WP:GNG makes no discrimination if coverage is from a "travel supplement." It could've been a piece called "I Love Marlfield House!" and it would still be considered significant coverage from a reliable source per GNG. If the reporter was paid or given "freebies" as you are claiming, that's basically synonymous with advertising. Do you have any evidence NYT reporter Sarah Lyall accepted "freebies"? Hint: "PR freebies are not unknown" doesn't count as evidence. --Oakshade (talk) 18:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, and not just because of the current condition: I would have said "keep" if I'd happened upon it five minutes after nomination. The promotional content was trimmable without totally ruining the article (no need for a WP:TNT deletion), and coverage in things published by names such as Wiley should generally be considered sufficient. Put this together with extensive 19th-century coverage of all things noble (i.e. there's going to be plenty of documentation on the house in publications about the owners), and you had something clearly notable at the time of nomination.

Duplicates the Foreign_Account_Tax_Compliance_Act and is boarder line original research. While yes Canada has agreed to this it should be captured in the actual article. Additionally, the article's creator has been on a soap box about this agreement and has been adding information to various Canadian Bank articles about it. A similar article was recently redirected to actual FATCA article however I do not feel a redirect would be appropriate in this case. Mrfrobinson (talk) 16:31, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Request for Comments may be needed to resolve this issue, as only two editors have commented so far. Also see the talk page.
- My own feeling is this article may be needed if each country has its own conditions for agreeing, or there is some else different or notable about Canada's agreement of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.Jonpatterns (talk) 17:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect without merge to Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act#FATCA intergovernmental agreements. This title appears to be being used as a POV fork and appears to violate WP:NOTNEWS. Not a single source in the article discusses the actual agreement terms, just some onerous sounding "effects" to numerous Canadians and an "enormous" cost to Canadian banks. There's not so much in the criticism/controversy section at the main FATCA article that this needs to be spun off, nor does it appear the Canadian concerns are substantially different than those any other countries affected by FATCA. If some specific issue comes up with respect to this agreement, which I strongly believe would have to do with its interaction with the idiosyncrasies of Canadian law rather than general concerns with FATCA, it can most likely be addressed in the main FATCA article when it becomes an issue. However, I also support a delete given the redirect is not particularly helpful, and I don't see much page history here worth retaining.
Also, to respond to Jonpatterns' comment, I'm sure there are some slight variances between each agreement signed by each country, but whether those variances are significant needs to be borne out in the sources first, and even if so, more than likely can be covered in the main article or in a sub-article generally discussing the intergovernmental agreements. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 20:05, 6 February 2014 (UTC)- WP:REDIRECTSARECHEAP.

- @Mendaliv: Please explain why you feel this article is a POV Fork. A POV fork is when contributors disagree about the content of an article and create another version of the article to promote a particular point of view. This is not the case here at all. XOttawahitech (talk) 09:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Possibly because he does not understand what a POV fork is. It is perfectly reasonable to have an article on this treaty which describes support for, and opposition to, this treaty, in Canada and the US (as long as it gives due weight relevant viewpoints in Canada and the US). Bear in mind that unless FATCA is part of Canadian municipal law (which would not be the case in England with which I am familiar), the support and opposition in Canada is to this treaty, and any domestic legislation giving effect to this treaty, not to FATCA itself. (I am assuming that the Parliament of Canada will have to pass a piece of legislation to give effect to the treaty). And we probably need an explanation of any domestic legislation giving effect to this treaty. James500 (talk) 04:38, 11 February 2014 (UTC) It also occurs to me that Canada might be an unusual case because of the number of Americans living there. The two countries do share a border and use the same language. James500 (talk) 02:12, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

- Prima facie, this article is not a fork at all. The Act of US Congress (FATCA) and the bilateral treaty (FATCA agreement) are, on the face of it, not the same thing. They are separate documents. Whether the content of the article is forked is a different matter. James500 (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

- Prima facie, that article is about the Act rather than any system. That said, if there is little to say about this treaty, it might be better discussed in the article on the Act. James500 (talk) 23:26, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect to Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. A treaty between nations is a different instrument than a national statute,and normally, I would argue to keep as a separate article. However, in the case of FATCA, there are a number of bilateral agreements (currently, about a couple dozen), each modeled after one of two model agreements. See the U.S. Treasury Department's FATCA - Archive page. I could see a separate article on FACTA agreements in general, but not on any one individual one. As there is not enough content to justify a separate article at this time, best to just develop the main FATCA article. If the section on FATCA intergovernmental agreements continues to grow, it can then be split out to a separate article. TJRC (talk) 21:33, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- The amount of content in the article is not relevant. What matters is the amount of coverage. There is no point in merging this if we think it is going to be spun off again. The real question is whether this treaty satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 05:48, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

- That would actually be a rename not a keep. Also it doesn't even appear to be an independent treaty rather a bilateral agreement that is covered under a long established treaty as referenced in the bilateral agreement (https://www.fin.gc.ca/treaties-conventions/usa_-eng.asp). Mrfrobinson (talk) 15:41, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

- undecided for now as it is, it is a stub that does nothing to demonstrate notability. However, we do have a number of indexes - see Category:American_stock_market_indices and Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average for an example. There are likely hundreds or even thousands of indexes, and I don't think all are notable, but I'm not sure if we have a notability standard for stock indexes. For now leaning to redirect unless the article can be beefed up significantly. S&P has likely 1625 indexes in their portfolio; I think even listing would run afoul of WP:NOT, so we really need some way of deciding which indexes are notable enough to be covered - the DJA is an obvious one, but beyond that how do we decide?--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 22:32, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Procedural_question I have posted a question on the talkpage. Thanks, XOttawahitech (talk) 16:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Another procedural_question Why are there 6 editors spending their time in discussing the deletion of this notable article instead of helping build it? This is not helping the goal of building the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Don’t you agree? XOttawahitech (talk) 14:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- No, I don't agree. We have too many articles, and not enough editors. Sometimes, deletion improves the encyclopedia - I know you may not believe this, but it's true. Incomplete/insufficient/poorly sourced/poorly maintained information is worse than none at all. Look at this search: [15] - 5 results - and compare to this one [16] with ~20,000 results - DJA is clearly worthy of an article, but I'm not convinced this one is. Not all indexes are created equal, and I haven't seen any evidence provided that this index, amongst the ~1600 indexes produced by S&P and the thousands of other indexes produced by various companies, is worthy of its own article. Articles have a cost, and one reason articles are regularly deleted is b/c people feel the cost to maintain or build that article is not worth the effort. No-one is trying to save it because no-one seems to care, and there are very few sources that discuss the importance of this index that I've found - as you can see, in the scholarly search, it is almost never referred to, nor it is regularly referred to in books except in passing.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 15:16, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

The article is meant to promote the subject. May I quote here that the article is apparently created by the producer ShivangSehgal/ Now blocked production house User:LegacyFilms of the movie. It was earlier under a different title W (2013 film), later moved to W (2014 film). Still releasing... However the primary concern is none of the above but WP:NF.

- Comment: The article obeys policy in not being promotional. WP:PROMO #5 says, "Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery." Now we need to look for reliable sources that cover the film in detail to demonstrate notability. This is one source for consideration, while this is just a reprinted press release. EDIT: This is another source I found. I am not familiar enough with Indian sources to know which ones are reliable or not. If others can comment on their reliability, that would be great. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- First one is a reliable source. Lets concentrate on content of the source, Legacy Film Productions' first Hindi Feature Film titled W, which was launched in the month of September 2012 is all set to hit the theatres in June 2013. It is not released till date. Now it is said by the producer of the movie in the article, that it would be releasing on 14 MARCH 2014. No recent source found on Google. Might be, it is the one alphabet title causing trouble finding sources even available. Second is a reprint of the press release, hence doesn't contribute to establish notability. third one seems reliable, it says the same, it will be releasing soon in 2013 in to Indian cinemas. AnupMehra ✈ 16:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- As the press release mentions, W screened at the Navi Mumbai International Film Festival. We can use that term in a search to find any independent coverage. It is a little tricky to search with that one-letter title, though. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Comment: At one point someone removed a lot of the sourcing I'd found for the film, so I've re-added the sourcing. I'm not sure why it was removed. This isn't an argument for notability, just that there's more sourcing than there initially was. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

I guess, I should withdraw my nomination now. Thank you again. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 11:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. While this person is covered in "sources", there doesn't appear to be agreement on whether those sources are substantial or reliable. I assume that User:Nyttend's comment about "independent" sources is a typo and they meant "substantial", since quite clearly the local newspapers are hopefully independent of the mayor's office.

- Keep evidently plenty of local news sources for WP:GNG ... and per User:Billy Hathorn In ictu oculi (talk) 03:19, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. No coverage in independent sources. Everything's from local publications, with nothing from independent sources from other places. Any mayor in a place with its own media will get plenty of news coverage from the local publication(s), but that's not sufficient: we need secondary sources, not simply the primary coverage from the local TV stations and newspaper. Wait until he gets coverage in books or academic journals, or until he gets discussed in news articles from other cities or from Bryan media long after his death. Nyttend (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I am torn between poor sourcing and my experience that being a mayor is notable by default. If he was historical, referenced to few obscure books, we would keep him. I think that being modern and referenced to few local websites is little different. The question is, again, where to draw the lone? User:Billy Hathorn did a wonderful job on a very borderline (notability-wise) topi. WP:POLITICIAN states "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". The hard part is defining significant. He received coverage in local newspaper and stations, but as User:Nyttend notes, those kind of obits are to be expected. In the end I am having trouble making a choice either way; if this is deleted I strongly suggest userfication in creator's namespace.

Not notable. Lacks coverage about her in independent reliable sources. No significant roles in notable productions. Prod was removed with the dubious claim she has "mid-importance role in the upcoming film Captain America: The Winter Soldier". The imdb page used to support this statement does not list Doss at all, let alone for any "mid-importance" part. The claim of activism appears to be original research. It lists a 26 year old student Amanda Catherine Doss with no way of knowing if it's producer, actress, filmmaker Cat Doss.

This one appears to be a press release, and the remaining ones simply ID Dealply as having been picked up by anti-malware software. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

This article has a serious number of issues. It has been tagged as original research and disputed material for over 6 years now. But more importantly, this is a classic case of WP:FORK. All of this content can be merged in the Armenian Genocide article if need be. As far as I can see, much of the information found in this article is on that page anyhow.

- Don't Delete (by the creator of the article) I'm only using a single user account because I infrequently edit Wikipedia and don't see a need to keep a single voice on it. I had an earlier account that I've been unable to retrieve my password from, but it's immaterial to me. Furthermore, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SPA suggests, "Existing editors must assume good faith concerning the user account, act fairly, civilly, not bite newcomers, and remember everyone was new at some time. Care is needed if addressing single-purpose accounts on their edits." Also, I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me the difference between this article and the one on "Ernest Hill (author)", or, I strongly suspect, hundreds of others I could find if I had the time. Finally, no, I am not Joseph G. Peterson, nor associated with his publishers. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tidbit9 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

- Question Since the guy's on the practise squad, could this be incubated instead of being deleted? Of course I agree that he doesn't currently warrant an article, but that's not the only thing to consider. Unless I misunderstand something, this guy would have a better-than-average chance of playing in the NFL; it would seem wasteful to delete the article entirely if we could simply wait for the possibility of him gaining WP:ATHLETE notability.

This article is just the primary document, no history, no discussion, just a transcript of the document.
It should be deleted here and moved to wikiquote. ColonelHenry (talk) 06:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
I am happy to have it moved to wikiquote. I am not familiar with this resource. The purpose of the entry - which I "translated" from a document dated 1825, which itself is a copy from the original MS in Latin from 1633, is to allow various other articles to reference important wording for the residents of the hospital in 1633. If wikiquote is the right place and it can be referenced , e.g. seeDr Guild Mortification etc.. for a wikipedia article - then OK.

OK let's try another "location" It is rather confusing. All I want to do is 1 provide a series of wiki articles for others to read 2 provide detailed sources/ references so that others can evaluate the wiki articles.
I don't find time to enter into interesting discussions about process. My apologies. Just indicate where the material that I teanscribed might be located AND suggest how readers might easily link from the wiki article to the "evidence" Any help welcome Ray

6/2/14 There is a general principle involved here. As I understand Wikipedia, the entries should contain sufficient information for readers to cross-reference and corroborate views/ facts/ etc. Together with the "open" system of moderation and editing this gives a reasonably good quality check on the content of entries. In the case of historical events/ places/ movements there are many original documents dating from medieval times. In one entry I have made Bishop Dunbar's Hospital I have the original Ms from James V (1531) giving authority to the establishment of the Hospital AND most importantly laying down the nature of the institution IN THE WORDING and SENTIMENTS of the day. The Dr Guild Mortification (1633) is a similar situation - except that so far I have been unable to trace the original MS. The Wikiquote entry is my “translation” of an document from 1825 which itself is probably a translation ( from the 17th C Scots). There are many other important contemporary or near contemporary documents that would be useful for readers of general entries to read in full. I think this is the heart of the issue. How should Wikipedia present documents (out of copyright etc etc) to allow readers corroborate / check claims made in entries? Ray Oaks
- Documents can be uploaded on WikiSource. Wikipedia is not for original documents, or for original research using old documents; a Wikipedia article should be a summary of what people write about original documents. Note that documents on WikiSource aren't normally considered reliable sources for Wikipedia articles, but they can be referenced or linked to from Wikipedia. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Who's Who and Debrett's list a lot of people who do not meet wikipedia notability criteria, such as this former AFD.

- Comment the previous article was quite scandalously wrongly deleted - there is previous precedence that headmasters of British public schools are inherently notable. Meanwhile, Who's Who/Debrett's are "establishment" publications, but that's good because we are supposed to be WP:MAINSTREAM and not just a list of all professional footballers. As stated, these are professionals whose job it is to identify those in society who are of importance. Some Wikipedians are cack-handed amateurs. I think I know who's best to judge.

- Keep. It definitely looks as if the "delete" votes are factually confused. Why are we going to tell Who's Who that we know better than they who the important, coverage-worthy people are? They and Debrett's provide substantial coverage of important people; they are reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and their reputations are longstanding: Who's Who has published since the early Victoria era, and Debrett's has been established for more than a quarter-millennium. They're not just taking random Joe Bloggs off the street: they're professionals who are picking leading members of society. As noted at the other AFD, some factual stuff is submitted, but the problem with subject-submitted content is typically that it's published without review. This is completely different, as the editors review submitted content and news to ensure that the biographies remain up-to-date and accurate. See here; while content is partially autobiographical, it's independently researched in order to maintain reliability. Again, why would we tell the editors of these publications, established reference works for several lives of men, that we know better than they who the notable people are?

I find this of very low notability, as does seem the rest of the world. The rewards have been given to e.g. George W.

- Probably keep – The article doesn't have a promotional tone, and it's likely that more pre-internet print sources are available, since the company was established in 1889. Coverage exists in The London Gazette. Additional sources available online include:
- Comment - Law firm of 100+ years old has unusual longevity; that's practically per se notable for larger firms. --Lquilter (talk) 22:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per Northamerica1000. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment on sources. The Telegraph story is OK but the others mean nothing. Two are stories in local newspapers to the firm that are clearly based on press releases issued by the firm about somebody joining and staff doing some charity work. Every local newspaper is full of this stuff, they have to fill the pages with something. The reference to the London Gazette is also no good because that is an official government publication that exists precisely so that legal firms and the like can place notices about their clients, e.g. bankrupcy etc. None of these, apart from the Telegraph, is real journalism about the firm and lists like this in the deletion debate create a misleading impression for other editors about the level of notice that the subject has really had.

- Tentative keep - assuming that everything can be verified by reliable sources, this passes my standards. However, it needs to be re-written with actual footnotes.

- Delete Notability of a law firm shouldn't be automatic nor any different from other companies. I've looked for useful sources and there are none that establish sufficient notability to meet WP:CORP. This was the best I could find. SmartSE (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Added cite. It would be odd if a 170+ year old firm didn't have a large number of non-web cites available. Has enough cites currently in order to not be deleted. VMS Mosaic (talk) 08:12, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- As in WP:MUSTBESOURCES? The cite you added doesn't demonstrate notability, and those already cited are trivial mentions in low-quality sources. I'm cutting the blatantly promotional content about charity events (which companies don't do this?). SmartSE (talk)
- The firm has a separate charity law section, so their support of charities might be notable. I added more cites supporting some of the listed law sections and a little of the history. My point was that the available print references could only be found by someone willing to dig into archives of 1800s and 1900s newspapers, books, etc. Per WP:NTEMP, if the firm would have passed WP:GNG during any one of the 170+ years, then it passes WP:GNG today.

- As in WP:MUSTBESOURCES? The cite you added doesn't demonstrate notability, and those already cited are trivial mentions in low-quality sources. I'm cutting the blatantly promotional content about charity events (which companies don't do this?). SmartSE (talk)
- Very weak keep – but only if all unreferenced stuff (which is virtually everything and still with much promo) and living non-notable people are removed, which would reduce it to a short stub. I concur with SmartSE's WP:MUSTBESOURCES here, which would apply to all statements in the article. In reply to Bearian's "being over 150 years old" (above), the law firm example given through a nav-through provides verified reliable evidence for all statements – this article doesn't. The problem with articles such as this, with few to no sources to prove notability in Wikipedia terms, is that if it is kept, a whole load more promo and uncited stuff will ride in on its saddle.

Non-notable sports team. Hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources, fails WP:GNG Hack (talk) 08:26, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Keep - They are runners up in the F-League in 2012 and have a number of futsalroos players in their side. The very fact that they play at the highest level of futsal in Australia should be notable in itself. The article perhaps needs improvement but not deletion.Simione001 (talk) 08:39, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Comment. There is no in-depth coverage of this club at all in reliable sources. Searches for this club yielded the following result - Fairfax News Store - nil; Factiva - two results mentioning that particular players play for this club; Ebsco Australia - one result showing the club in a fixture list; Google News - nil. National level clubs in outdoor football are usually given a free pass because they usually have had serious coverage but this does not apply to futsal clubs. Hack (talk) 09:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. Indeed. Even a look at the club's own web page reveals a complete lack of any in-depth information. It's more of a holding page. Except, of course, for some video clips which reveal a complete absence of any spectators. Using the "competes at the highest level of a national league" could equally well be used to justify inclusion of tiddlywinks clubs or computer gamers. H6PAYH (talk) 23:04, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Strong Delete Futsal has no visibility here in Australia and I had not even heard of it until seeing this article for deletion. The club itself was founded only in 2012 so has hardly had time to become notable. I would suggest there is no need for individual Australian futsal clubs to have Wikipedia pages unless/until the sport gets some level of independent coverage.

- Keep - plays in the top division of their sport in their country - article needs improving/expanding, not deleting. GiantSnowman 12:31, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to F-League. The fact that a team plays at the "highest level" (which apparently incorporates teams from only three of Australia's eight states and territories, but perhaps that's beside the point) of a particular sport in a particular country doesn't mean squat if that particular sport has very little presence or generates very little attention in that particular country, as is the case with futsal in Australia. Cricket probably has some presence in Kyrgyzstan, but that doesn't mean the local teams suddenly get Wikipedia articles. The search term "East Coast Heat" returns zero hits on Google News, which can hardly be said to constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". However, "East Coast Heat" is probably a plausible search term, so we might as redirect to the league page – our readers can basically gain the same amount of information from the list of teams which already exists there. IgnorantArmies 13:54, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - per GS, team is playing in top level league in its country, so passes WP:FOOTYN. Concede there are potential GNG issues here though, but want to see the article expanded if possible, as per current consensus at WP:FOOTY on clubs. Fenix down (talk) 14:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)`
- Comment. This is not a football club, this is a futsal club. A futsal club that blatantly fails WP:GNG, which is a guideline, unlike WP:FOOTYN which is an essay. Hack (talk) 14:18, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I wouldn't go that far. Futsal and football are very similar. Futsal is a variant of association football (soccer).Simione001 (talk) 02:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. My point is that WP:FOOTYN is intended for outdoor football and reflects the fact that national-level clubs in that form of football almost universally get enough coverage to meet the requirements of WP:GNG. Hack (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- Comment. Arguing that futsal is inherently the same as football rather knocks a hole in the argument that this club plays in the top league. The top football league in Australia is the A League - this is beyond dispute. By arguing to consider futsal and football using the same criteria, teams playing variants of football in leagues other than the A League would not be playing in the top league. H6PAYH (talk) 01:44, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Comment. But your argument is that futsal is a variation of football, therefore being successful at futsal should be seen as equivalent to being successful at football. This is simply not the case. A futsal club is not notable because futsal is not notable. It receives no coverage; it does not even seem to generate its own web presence. It is a pastime that is probably very enjoyable, but it is not commercial, outward-facing or notable in any way. Most people have never heard of futsal whcih might justify a Wikipedia page to explain what futsal is, but it makes it impossible to argue that teams participating in futsal are notable. In this case, you've got a team that was founded less than two years ago and zero public recognition. I can see only one person arguing for the retention of the page - makes me wonder whether it is being considered with a neutral point of view. H6PAYH (talk) 01:15, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to F-League, and that's being generous. Futsal is not a widely known sport in Australia, and there is almost zero coverage of this team to establish notability and verifiability. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:02, 16 February 2014 (UTC).

For some reason, these guys don't seem notable enough per the notability guidelines (especially for musicians and performers)...no "significant coverage".

- Keep - As a hydroelectric generation plant and dam, notability can be assumed; and sources are very likely to be found in Farsi. Systemic bias may be an issue. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not every hydroplant and dam is notable, particularly in the case of micro- and small hydro projects. You can't just asume a notability of every micro- and small scale project. If there are sources satisfying WP:GNG, the article should be kept. Otherwise, it should be deleted. During almost four years nobody has provided any reliable third party source providing a significant coverage addressing the topic directly and in detail. Just mentioning the name of the dam by sources is not enough for WP:GNG. As for Systemic bias, it may be an issue, of course, but unlikely. During the last four years, members of WP:DAMS, particularly user:NortyNort has expanded all similar stubs created by the same author. Remained only stubs where no sources available. There is also no article in Farsi. Beagel (talk) 06:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Very small dam which does not meet WP:GNG. Given the growth trend for renewable energy plants, notability cannot be simply assumed, or else things would quickly get out of hand. Johnfos (talk) 03:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of power stations in Iran or just delete. I did a similar AfD three years ago on a plethora of planned dams in Iran. Hard to find information on these and it is a small hydroelectric plant. I have worked on many of these articles and expanded what I could.

Delte per WP:CORP and WP:SIGCOV. Reference cited gives the chain mention in just one sentence.Blue Riband► 13:52, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- You are mistaken. It is discussed on 4 different pages of that source including some significant coverage of the company's founding, history, number of stores, region of operations, discussion of the donut reailing environment when it was esablished and competitive pressures that developed over time. Donuts are a fairly big deal in Canada. And that's just the coverage from one source. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Multiple mentions within a single source does not make WP:SIGCOV. If there is more than "just the coverage from one source" it should not present a problem to include those sources to support the chain's notability. Blue Riband► 02:22, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Hamilton Spectator (2/05/2002). "Police Charge Coffee Shop Mooner". Quote: "A woman who mooned customers in a Hamilton [Donut Diner] coffee shop and shouted abuse at them Tuesday morning has been charged with creating a disturbance." (Database: EBSCO)
- Toronto Star (06/16/2004) "Now this is good toast". Quote: "Toast enthusiasts are a strange breed. Like the Connecticut woman who posted "Donut Diner: The Most Delicious Toast In The Universe" on Epinions.com about her favourite highway-side shop near Brantford, Ont. This is, bar none, the most surreal review I have read on my home province," one reader groused." (Database: EBSCO)
- Hamilton Spectator (12/16/2009). "Store Good For What Ails". Quote: "And at the drive-thru window left over from the Donut Diner that used to occupy this space, he serves $2 bowls of soup, his grandma's recipe." (Database: EBSCO)

The sources for tollywood boxoffice are often and almost always unreliable....I don't think this article will ever be accurate and accountable..... ƬheStrikeΣagle sorties 08:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Proof
- South Indian cinema never crossed 100 crore mark
- Dookudu touched 1 Billion mark
- Attarintiki Daredi is highest grossing Telugu film
- Eega collects 125 crore
- Gabbar Singh collects 1.5 billion
- From the above, you can see that Attarintiki Daredi is universally accepted as the highest grossing telugu film by collecting ~80 crore. But other sources including TOI, India Today show other movies grossing as much as 1.5 billion. When the most reliable sources like TOI become so unreliable, don't expect other sources to be better with some reporting box office of Nayak and other movies in excess of 190 crore! This list will never be complete so I hereby propose to delete it and clear the mess. See the page history and you will realize that the fans of Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan are already fighting for the first place... Thanks, ƬheStrikeΣagle sorties 08:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

South Indian Cinema never cross 100 crore mark is true in case of share collections which is considered everywhere. And Attarintiki Daredi share collections are ~ 80 crores is also true but gross collections may be 150+ crores. Know clearly what showed in TOI and India Today, then show proofs.

- Redirect to The_Freedom_Writers_Diary#Further_reading. The problem is that while the topic of the book, the Freedom Writers, is very notable, this particular book is not. I can't find where it has received any actual coverage. What I think would be a good alternative would be to just redirect to a "further reading" section on the main article for the book. If further people in the class decide to write memoirs, we can always flesh it out somewhat and add a section about others writing companion pieces to the main book, but I think that for now a further reading section would be a nice compromise.

- Delete, largely because of the total lack of clearly-pertinent English sources. Take something that's published entirely in a different language, and you could write about what the sources say on that topic, but it would have to be something specifically about the foreign-language phrase. We might well be able to have an article on "Mediatisierung kommunikativen Handelns", talking strictly about the different German sources that explore the idea, but something that's deeply theoretical (funny how "highly theoretical" and "deeply theoretical" are the same...) and not in English really can't cover the concept itself appropriately. All we can do is basically an extended literature review right now, without bringing in English sources to establish facts in fields that might be related to the topic.

The article appears stuffed with fluff to make the subject significantly more notable than they are. Leaky Caldron 20:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

- Comment To my surprise all the previous AfDs listed are about this person and so this is actually the fifth nomination:
- May 2006 - delete Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syed Ahmed
- August 2006 - keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syed Ahmed2
- September 2006 - delete Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syed Ahmed3
- March 2009 - keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syed Ahmed (entrepreneur). Thryduulf (talk) 22:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Move and redirect. The only to things he has done that are actually potentially notable in our terms are to have appeared on The Apprentice and to have appeared in a documentary about him starting his own hand dryer business with the latter entirely down to the former and actually I think would confer more notability on the company (SAVortex, which doesn't seem to have ever had an article) than on him. If the company were notable then I'd suggest a very heavily trimmed version of this article could be merged there, but as it isn't I'd suggest moving this page back to Syed Ahmed (entrepreneur) (so Syed Ahmed (politician) can take the primary topic title) and then redirect to The Apprentice (UK series 2). Thryduulf (talk) 22:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete altogether, and make a protected redirect to the politician so the article cannot be diverted. Appearing in a game show is not notability, and it's time we decided that once and for all. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 20:27, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

- Merge with List of The Apprentice candidates (UK series two)#Syed Ahmed. The subject is largely notable for his appearance on the reality TV show and so is only notable for one event as per WP:1E, however, the subject has remained active since then. His career after his TV appearances are verifiable in multiple, independent, reliable secondary sources so he at the very least fulfills WP:BASIC.

- That is manifest nonsense. There are reliable sources, particularly in GBooks (e.g. Chambers [33] and Pritchard's "The Legal 500" [34]). The issue that has been raised is the depth of coverage (which I am not sure I agree with since the firm is mentioned on 43 pages in one book and 33 in the other and some of the comments don't look like entries in a phonebook).

This page was evidently created by a single-purpose account as part of a larger effort to establish WP presence for faculty/programs at a particular institution. Aside from the text being essentially WP:PROMOTION, none of the WP:RSs actually discuss WIC, but are instead about larger topics like entrepreneurship, women in mathematics, etc. I did some searching for WIC-specific sources, but aside from web and Facebook pages, I could only find the conference paper from 2012 written by the founder of the program.

Disagree - Should not be deleted.
In regards to not being notable, other university's have adapted this program at their school. For example, Gonzaga University, Kettering University, Lawrence Tech, University of Detroit Mercy, Ohio Northern University, and Rice University all have adapted this initiative.
This program is being used across the country in not only college settings, but also high schools to help develop an entrepreneurial mindset in students at an early age.

- What you are saying implies that this program was the first of its kind and inspired those at the other institutions you named. In that case, I think I would agree that SLU WIC could be notable, if sources could be found – so far, there still are none. However, it appears that WICs were going on at other institutions long before the one at SLU (evidently founded in 2011). For example, the UMass WIC was already established by 2005.

I suspect this fails WP:SAL due to a lack of reliable sources discussing the topic as a group. Most of the current referencing currently consists of primary sources that demonstrate that yes, such and such a song was used in an Apple ad. As part of WP:BEFORE, I located two probably reliable articles that constitute the right sort of reference, and added them as a new Further reading section. But Mashable is a pretty light source, and the Rolling Stone article was more about the artists than the songs or Apple's advertising. There are also blog sources out there, like this. Perhaps there are more reliable sources out there, but with a topic as intensely studied as Apple, the fact that I'm not finding more is a red flag for me.
Even if the article is kept, it could certainly use some trimming. Do we really need to know every song Apple played at its developers conferences? --BDD (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Non-notable actress. Only claim to notability is a nomination at a relatively minor film festival. (The Madrid International Film Festival is not even listed in the List of film festivals in Europe.) Much of the press she garners is as AnnaLynne McCord's sister, but notability is not inherited. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:12, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Subject is not notable as per WP:N or WP:BIO. Further, the claim to notability is for a role (not necessarily a notable leading role) in a non-notable film for which she was nominated for (not necessarily won) an award at a non-notable festival. There is no real claim to notability here. N4 (talk) 02:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Mostly WP:OR article and provides little useful information. For the OR part, the only third-party source cited is a 2004 comparison, which however is way outdated to be useful for the modern software being compared here, except perhaps for choosing some of the comparison criteria. A lot of the criteria used in the wiki page don't appear in that source though. All other refs are primary sources (manufacturers' pages). And most of the software compared actually implements most of the features. The exceptions are minor and those criteria in which there are some differences are not actually among those listed in the 2004 comparison cited. So, it's hard to conclude that this page is anything but WP:OR. Someone not using his real name (talk) 16:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Merge - possibly just the references, to Computer-aided audit tools. Per nom, OR as these comparison lists often are, also failing GNG as this comparison is covering non-notable software. Only one of the compared software packages has a wikipedia page, and that is for the company, not the software itself.Dialectric (talk) 16:52, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Merge This article provides a good bit of useful information on CAAT products, including lists of criteria by which to judge CAAT systems. But at AfD, utility counts for little. The first reference in the article, a secondary RS [35] provides a basis for a comparison of systems per WP:CSC. But the article goes quite a but beyond that and in the process synthesizes quite a bit of information. While the synth material could be removed, there is still the problem of a second RS. Without multiple RS, this article fails WP:GNG notability guidelines. But per WP:PRESERVE, verifiable information should be preserved instead of deleted. The first ref and possibly a comparison table based on it should be merged into Computer-aided audit tools, the parent article. --Mark viking (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

- Weak Delete: I've had a look for this publishing house among various resources, they don't seem particularly noticeable. ISBS says of them;
Free Association Books (UK) specializes in psychiatry and psychoanalysis; and one of their focuses within those fields is child and adolescent studies. They also have a strong backlist. The press continues to make available, in English translation, pertinent works in psychoanalysis. Cultural and sociological studies are growing fields for this press, whether they are producing books on the culture surrounding drug use, or representing child sexual abuse in the media, They also publish in gender studies, health and the intersection of technology and health, the last particularly through books by Michel Odent, a noted obstetrician.

- Delete - BLP1E is usually applied to cases where the person is well-known for a single event and in this case we're talking more about a series of events. That said, the series of events is really all about the same thing. These sorts of stories are often followed up by local news outlets as a "where are they now" or "remember this guy we told you about last year". But that isn't really the same as being notable for something else - it's still the same event. I don't think there's any enduring notability here. Stalwart111 08:24, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Article has no sources and makes no credible claim to notability WP:N per WP:GNG and WP:TVSERIES. Article was previously nominated for speedy deletion (A7) which was declined on grounds that although only barely, there was just enough to preclude a speedy delete. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:25, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not clear on how a broadcast television soap opera isn't a claim of notability. Isn't it defacto notability? Is the channel its broadcast on minor? Is the viewership small? I am not being rhetorical, I'm not understanding why this article shouldn't be kept. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:43, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- That's a fair question. According to WP:TVSERIES there is a presumption of notability IF the program airs on a national or regional basis, which is not asserted in the article. Further it reads... "In either case, however, the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone. For instance, a purely local talk radio program can be notable enough for inclusion if it played a role in exposing a major political scandal, and a national television program may not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any significant media coverage." In short, we don't know if it's notable because it has not made any credible claim and has no sources for us to make a prudent determination. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Abstain. No major Google Book hits (as in, no biography, even footnote-size); he is mentioned as a creator of several works in a dozen or so books. He has a footnote bio in an (online only?) article at [39] (notable Polish newspaper, Nasz Dziennik). He is one of the subjects (but not the only one) in an article describing his family's artistic history, at a regional Polish portal/newspaper ([40]). Inconsequential mention in [41]. Two offline sources impossible to verify; one of them is supposedly an article dedicated to him in a magazine that doesn't have an entry on pl wiki. Nope, not seeing enough to save it. PS. Pl wiki deletion discussion started at pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/biografie/2014:02:03:Ludwik Konarzewski (junior). PPS. Polish wiki editors were able to find some better sources; two local newspaper mentions at [42] and [43] show regional notability. As this is now too borderline for my tastes, I am changing to abstain. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:31, 3 February 2014 (UTC)- Keep.

Comment
Hi,
I added this entry and I followed all the suggestions from the wikipedia editors when I created it, they seemed to be ok with it at that point. I am not sure why it is a problem to include here a media organization that's fighting corruption like many other journalism organizations do. You have so many other similar NGOs on wikipedia that are not marked for deletion. RISE is member of some of those organizations, like Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, which is also on wikipedia.
This article is not meant to promote RISE Project for any hidden interests, it is here just to inform the readers about the existence of this initiative that fights corruption in Romania and the region. RISE's work has been quoted in media all around Europe and beyond, something that I didn't include there just to avoid being accused of a promotional entry (you can find it quoted just by simple search on google). I think the reasons for which you are asking for its deletion are not realistic and it's an exaggeration on your part, not a very fair attitude. I was not seeking to create any promotional material for RISE here, just basic public information. And I also don't see why it is a problem that this is the first entry I created...there are just too many unfounded accusations from your part, which seems a bit biased to me.
Thanks Lra2014 (talk) 09:42, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Comment2 Biruitorul • Gene93k: I added more external references now, that should meet your observations above, let me know what you think.Lra2014 (talk) 11:17, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment This article definitely has references to reliable sources but none of the sources specifically mentions the RISE Project in detail. If this article is going to be deleted, it will be because of the lack of reliable coverage. Finding reliable sources is one thing but Wikipedia relies on significant coverage. versace1608 (talk) 22:59, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Echoing your comments, versace1608, yes, the article has four or five more or less reliable sources that mention the project. However, the coverage is never about the project itself, but rather about its activities or the opinions of people associated with it. And it's usually mentioned only in passing. What we have as of now doesn't seem to me to fulfill the spirit of WP:ORG. - Biruitorul Talk 02:59, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Please let me know if I get it correctly - you mean other sources that cover RISE Project but without interviews of the members? I see the point, however, RISE Project is an organization made of a group of people and therefore, the members are those who are asked to talk about its work, it's quite rare that others write about an active media entity without contacting its current members for interviews - it's actually normal to seek members' opinions in this field. Plus, it's an anti-corruption journalism organization, it uncovers organized crime networks and corruption cases, everybody who features it wants to hear more about the investigations, how journalists work and what tools they use, their results etc, and that means, you will always have a member talking about these in full knowledge. This is what happens with most similar organizations in the region. Plus, we need to take into account that such organizations are part of a new trend in journalism in Eastern Europe, they haven't been around for decades like the traditional journalism centers from the US. - So, I am not sure that what you are asking here is possible in this case. It is a normal thing to ask generally but it might just not fit in here. What I can do is to add the sources that write about RISE Project but there will always be a member interviewed in there, there is also a TacticalTech documentary (Exposing the Invisible - Our Currency is Information) with a profile of one of RISE members and filmed at RISE Project if that's appropriate to add there.Lra2014 (talk) 06:16, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

- Comment: I also consider Rise Project an important group of investigative journalism from Romania. One example: they contributed essentially to the now famous "romanian autumn demonstrations" of 2013 (romanians fighting against Rosia Montana project in the Carpathian mountains), when they (Rise) published the secret contracts between the romanian state and the Gabriel Resources Co. These contracts were hidden from public view since about 15 years, and Rise P. were the ones able to make them available. (media coverage to be found here: [2]) I really do not know another journalists group with this importance in Romania today, perhaps except EFOR (but EFOR are rather economists and law specialists, not journalists). Horia mar (talk) 21:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: Horia mar has supplied a press release issued by the project itself, which hardly counts as independent coverage. VMS Mosaic has not done even that. Just what specific "refs", VMS Mosaic, demonstrate that this topic "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? - Biruitorul Talk 01:24, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Unreferenced for seven years. Looked around and couldn't find any sources. Only directed a handful of films, and only mentions in books are film repositories just listing him when noting Daybreak in Udi with no extra information. Wizardman 17:26, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Despite what the article formerly said[45], listing Anderson as director of Daybreak in Udi, sources list Terry Bishop as its director[46][47][48] - our article on the film says Anderson produced it but the sources do not confirm this. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a thin biography, mostly but not entirely a catalog of works, but at least three of the works are notable enough to warrant articles. There are enough sources, even if superficial in coverage, to satisfy WP:GNG. The tributes probably give more depth. A notable director. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:33, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

CSD removed with the rationale that "the book about him establishes notability". I don't buy that, can find no trace of the work (although William Cooper is a pretty miserable name to punch into search engines) & doubt that it was more than an obit published as a pamphlet. Only substantial refereence is to the man's tomb. This may be notable, but I don't think the person is. TheLongTone (talk) 03:46, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Sloppy work on my part, should have tried using the title of the workk, which, as Google books shows, is, as I supposed, a very short privately printed work, and in no way establishes notability,TheLongTone (talk) 03:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not much is known about him, that is true - but he is still remembered in York after 200 years - can that be said of other minor celebrities listed on Wikipedia? He wrote books, had a book written about him, re-built an important building (Judges' Lodgings) and is commemorated by a magnificent monument in York Minster.
I am sure there is a lot more - see e.g. [49] and [50]
- ¬¬¬¬
- Have you actually read the "book"? As noted, it is no more than one would expect of a funeral oration. Twelve pages, of which four are text. It's a pamphlet, not a book.TheLongTone (talk) 12:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Keep This is an 18th Century figure with coverage in the 18th and 19th centuries. Writing about someone back then was a much bigger deal than it would be today and amounts to significant coverage. Add to that the sources are still extant today to show that coverage in these books is meaningful. Certainly there was enough significance to not tag for CSD. And sometimes quality of coverage is more important than volume. If there is enough to show notable achievements, then that suffices. If the article creator could add more sourcing, that would help a lot to keep the article. (Could someone do something with the formatting of this discussion. Hard to read.) Dlohcierekim 15:50, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Jb1944: there are claims of significance here that are not made in the article. It would be helpful to put them in the article with sourcing. You mention other claims of significance in the article. It would be helpful to elaborate and source there. Dlohcierekim 15:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep or Merge. There is a lot of information on this article that, if it can be verified, makes this song pass the bar of notability - particularly that they shot a promotional film for it. Taken as a whole this is too much to merge into the articles about either the A side or the album, however if its not all verifiable then a reduced summary of what is would be fine on either one of those articles (and I don't really have a preference which). I don't see any cause for deletion though. Thryduulf (talk) 21:51, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - I have added an NME reference to the existence of the promo film. The NME page contains a YouTube video of it. There is also a mention of the film in a book at Google books. I know there's a trick to using that as a ref but I've forgotten it at the moment. I don't think the song being a B-side disestablishes notability, as there have been notable songs that were only ever B-sides. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 22:39, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

This person fails WP:BLP. There are no reliable sources with significant coverage. The article is also an autobiography (the author reveled himself to be Ambrose Nshala at Wikimedia Commons). The same article was already speedily deleted twice, and is now recreated with some "references" none of which points to a reliable source. Vanjagenije (talk) 01:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - I would like to declare that I'm the author of the article and it is true that it is a biography of a living person. However, I believe the proposal to delete it is based on the deletion history of the article on wikipedia. Unfortunately the first time I created it, I was not well versed with creating articles and references, so I failed to include reliable sources because of the syntax and not because they were not available.I request this article be judged in this light and not the shadow of the past.

- You uploaded two photos of Nshala at Wikimedia Commons and tagged them both as "own work". In the "author" field you typed "[[User:AfroPianist|Ambrose Nshala]]" which clearly implies that AfroPianist and Ambrose Nshala are the same person.

He is also a politician in his region. Still my question is is he notable and for what? Ok he might be notable amongs Rotary members or voters in his region but is that enough? If the writer of the article could write down what makes him notable in the article itself with some reffs than I will change my vote but as it is I must question notability issue.

Was dePRODed in good faith but searches for independent, in-depth 3rd-party sources come up with only routine coverage (e.g. press releases and stock market reports) that do not assert notability per WP:ORG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

- Rename to National Bank and Trust and re-purpose to be about the bank, not the holding company. Have information about the holding company as a small part of a larger article. While smaller banks generally do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, the historic lineage of this bank (dating to 1850) greatly increases the odds of finding something that rises to the level of significant, non-local coverage. I have seen borderline-significant local/novelty-press coverage in two books, The History of Clinton County, Ohio: Containing a History of the County, Its Townships, Cities, Towns, Etc., General and Local Statistics, Portraits of Early Settlers and Prominent Men, History of the Northwest Territory, History of Ohio, Map of Clinton County, Constitution of the United States, Etc, Volume 1. Heritage Books. 2002. p. 531. and Brown, Albert J. (1915). History of Clinton County, Ohio: Its People, Industries, and Institutions. p. 222.. I have also seen possible evidence that there is still a market for vintage bank notes issued by this bank or its predecessors. If a bank of this bank's size were not historic, I would probably recommend deletion given my inability to find more coverage than I have found. I am okay with a soft-deletion or userfication to allow an editor to take the time to find more suitable references. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

- Using the abstract given on "Amazon", it would appear both of the books that you mention are more interested in the covers and not the content of the magazines themselves. I do not see the justification for having a list of issues with contents based on these references (which do not appear to be used in the article in any case). WP:DIRECTORY may not be relevant, but WP:INDISCRIMINATE point 1 would appear to be relevant.
- Comment Thankyou Gloss for letting me know, had you looked on the talk page of List of Mad issues, you would know what I really think. Unfortunately, if this lot is deleted (and I can see your point and clarityfiends even more succinct point) then List of Mad issues would need to be deleted as well (merging some content into the parent article if you really must). List of Mad issues was nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mad Magazine issues and the result was keep. Personally, I would stuff a nuke under this insanity and get on with something worth doing. Not even Mad magazine is mad enough to list this lot. And if this article piqued someones curiosity then there is no way to obtain the relevant issue. Anyroad, I refrained from nominating it for deletion because it is bad form to repeatedly nominate articles for deletion and that is the only way I refrained from voting delete with a capital D. Per WP:BADIDEA, this is "some new bad idea that had not previously been anticipated". Op47 (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep all See no reason to delete. Calling it indiscriminate is a value judgement, a personal bias, not an objective fact. Calling it a Directory is also not supported, there is nothing there that defines it as a Directory. It's a List article, any list article could be accused of being a directory.

- Keep The analogy is with our many series of articles on TV show episodes. The cultural importance is at least as great as almost any of them. and that's the reason we give for keeping the episode articles , and it applies here also. Indeed, to make it similar, we'd have individual articles on each issue. Op47's argument that "it just makes me aware of something I cannot have" is an unusual for of ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT--on that argument, we should delete the articles about any number of wonderful historical things--or for that matter, on luxury goods. DGG ( talk ) 06:35, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Largely in agreement with DGG's analogy. Now, I am not particularly a fan of large piles of Wikipedia content that aren't backed by secondary sources but instead rely on Wikipedia's enumeration of primary sources, but usually that concern arises from concerns about simply eroding notability and, as a result, neutrality about what to include or not. In this case, however, I think it's both obvious that the topic is notable (a lousy argument, I admit) and that there's other evidence for that notability (in particular, Andrew Davidson's sources). --j⚛e deckertalk 14:49, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Merge them all into List of MAD issues. There's no apparent reason for splitting them up by decade, it makes navigation and text-searching unnecessarily cumbersome, and the articles are all small enough that they can be combined into one without it being overlong.--NukeofEarl (talk) 16:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Pretty sure it would be too long. There is server overhead in displaying tables and combining all into a single page (even with multiple tables) would be considerable horsepower. One could test it with a sandbox page and see how long Preview and Saves take. -- GreenC 16:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Promotional autobiograph with very borderline notability at best.. Contributor has resisted an effort to even tag it with a pressrelease tag, so I'm bringing it here as unfixable, which I probably should have done in the first place. It's a particularly bad representative of what has come here from AfC
"represented the coworking community as a spokesperson through major media channels and government summits" in the lede is pretty diagnostic. The entire sections 2, 3 and 5 are minor material that nobody would rationally care about but herself , her friends...and, mostly, her commercial associates. (note the photo of her undistinguished workspace in section 3.) Section 4 is out and out advertising for her projects. I note the sentence "Link Coworking is open from 9am until 6pm Monday through Friday",
I see nothing that resembles a usable reference. I see local business papers, which have a reputation for printing press releases they get from local businesses; I see some specialized trade newsletters, which do the same; and I see a few undisguised press releases from PRweb.
Some recent edits in the subject's own name have added a few more conferences. Even if the subject did not interfere, I would not try to fix this, because there's not enough notable substance. DGG ( talk ) 01:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I'll remove section 4. I would argue that Coworking is a rapidly emerging industry with 200% year over year for the past 8 years and is newsworthy. I would argue that Creative Morning, NY Times, SXSW, Forbes, Business Insiderand more. Are all press releases deemed bad?

- Delete as failing to cross the notability threshold. While there is possibly sufficient coverage of the company to warrant a small article, the mentions of the subject herself are either glancing or in non-independent sources. (Press releases can sometimes be used for verifiability but they cannot prove notability.) If it's kept, the article needs a major re-write, but that's a matter for cleanup, not AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 18:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete on the grounds that the only sources which could conceivably be used to establish notability seem to establish more notability for the company than the person. Some small amount of the information here could be merged with an article about the company, if created. --Ahecht (TALK

- Hi Stalwart111: The title would just become a mere WP:REDIRECT to Proposals for a Jewish state. Strange as it may seem there are definitely some "schools of thought" that refer to the topic in those kinds of ways, and that do not see the use of the words "Anti-Zionist proposals" or "alternative Jewish homelands" as "POV", but on the contrary as being NPOV accurate. The phrase "anti-Zionist/s" is not POV, there are articles on WP based on it, see Anti-Zionism, Timeline of anti-Zionism, and there are many anti-Zionists, both Jewish and non-Jewish, and the broad Category:Anti-Zionism, so this topic is not way out at all. The topic should not be done away with, maybe someone will actually write a decent article about it one day, it could be done. IZAK (talk) 09:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, IZAK, for responding so comprehensively. I suppose I've always seen the phrase as somewhat POV and in combination with the subject matter it seemed disjointed and only for the purposes of suggesting something before even starting the article. Redirects are cheap and if others think it's of some value, I won't stand in the way of that. Your explanation of why some people might search for something like that makes sense. It seems slightly odd to me, but a great many things do. Happy to support a redirect on that basis. Stalwart111 10:37, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Besides, according to this article, Hamas spokesman Salah al-Bardawil stated that "We pray to Allah that Sharon and all the Zionist leaders who committed massacres against our people to go to hell."

- Comment. Although the Order of the Crown is awarded to military officers and civil servants automatically for length of service, awards to non-government-servants are discretionary. In this latter respect, Officer of the Order of the Crown seems to be pretty much equivalent to an OBE in the British Honours System. While an OBE would not qualify a recipient for automatic inclusion (that would require a CBE, the next grade up), it would be very likely that a British artist who had received an OBE would have an article on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
