Sticky wicket

Just a WP:DICDEF and WP:EXAMPLEFARM. The sources are entirely primary, proving nothing that "this work uses the term", and not discussing the term at length. Tone is utterly informal and unencyclopedic ("where there is no option you can take which is necessarily a good one"). If there is an article potential here, then WP:TNT is required.

Keep It was a very poor article but I've started amending and expanding it today. Needs more referencing, but I think you can already see that it's far more than a dicdef and example farm. Perhaps think of it this way: the cricket phenomenon is far more complex, interesting and encyclopedic than the dicdef of how the term is used as a metaphor in everyday speech. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:01, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep not a dicdef, not an example farm. If the tone displeases, improve. No need for TNT. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. To be fair to the nominator, it was really really awful: ([1]). --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:13, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep yes the version nominated was crap, but improvements are already being made. And it does pass WP:GNG as sources exist out there about it. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:43, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 'Tone' is not a valid deletion reason. And a simple WP:BEFORE search would have provided the nominator with the RS available. And prevented this sticky wicket :D — O Fortuna!^{Imperatrix mundi.} 11:22, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP with some advertorial overtones of an actress, which contains potentially valid claims of notability but isn't properly sourcing them. Practically right across the board the "references" here are to unacceptable sources like blogs, IMDb and her own primary source content about herself -- and the only two things that count as real reliable source coverage in real media are covering her solely in the context of being married, to someone notable enough that the coverage exists more because him than her, not in the context of anything that would give her passage of a notability criterion. I'm willing to withdraw this if the tone can be adjusted for WP:NPOV and the referencing can be improved, but Wikipedia is not a free PR database on which people get to keep promotionally-toned profiles just because they exist -- notability has to be supported by a considerably better class of referencing than has been shown here. Bearcat (talk) 23:25, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete second the nominator that the only adequate sources relate to her marriage, and they exist because her husband is such a notable figure. Nothing to show she is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:30, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Query how would i go around maintaining this page if there are limited interview sources regarding her voice work, even though She is quite active? Would links to film, series, and game cast credits assist at all? Thanks. - justkyledavid — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justkyledavid (talk • contribs) 08:22, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Film, series and game cast credits would not assist, no — and, for that matter, neither would "interview" sources. A person gets over our inclusion criteria for actors by being the subject of reliable source coverage — interviews can be sparingly used for some supplementary confirmation of stray facts after enough of the expected quality of sourcing is present to get her over WP:GNG, but they cannot be the GNG in and of themselves because they represent the subject talking about herself rather than third parties objectively assessing her impact and notability. Being "quite active" is not an automatic inclusion freebie for an actress in and of itself — if the article can't be referenced properly, she's not exempted from having to pass GNG just because she's a working performer who's had roles.

Weak delete. Article doesn't clearly explain why this is notable. What makes it different from its opensuse base? A lot of organisations will modify a base OS (a Linux distribution or Windows or so on) to create a "base image" for deployment in their organisation, with organisation-specific customisations and configurations – how is this any diferent than that, with the organisation being the school system of Catalonia? Also, not listed on LWN Distributions List, which while not decisive, is in my view useful as an approximate indicator of Linux distribution notability. On the other hand, I did find one English language reliable source which does mention it, Tj Plomp (2009), Cross-national Information and Communication Technology Policies and Practices in Education, IAP, p. 142, ISBN 978-1-60752-044-3. I've also seen some Spanish language sources discuss this, which could be RS too, but I don't feel so confident in judging the reliability of Spanish language sources. I'd supporting merging this to an article on the Catalonia's department of education, but we don't seem to have such an article. Catalan Wikipedia does–ca:Departament d'Ensenyament de la Generalitat de Catalunya, but English Wikipedia has no direct equivalent–although the English equivalent article is List of Ministers of Education of Catalonia, which is not quite the same thing. So, maybe if we created an English article about the Department (as opposed to a list of the Ministers in charge of it), we could merge this stuff in that article. But, I can't really !vote merge when the merge target doesn't exist yet. SJK (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable Youtuber. Sources found during a WP:BEFORE search are a mix of passing mentions and advertorial-style "look at this new make-I've been sponsored to wear" promo pieces. The general notability guideline requires significant coverage in reliable, independent sources and this requirement simply isn't met - passing mentions do not add up to significant coverage and advertorial-promo pieces are not independent.

I find nearly only concert listings online, and no substantial coverage meeting WP:GNG, nor anything meeting WP:MUSICBIO. The sources given in the article are all affiliated. I also find very little mention of "Opus 1 Foundation". A Google search for "Samuel K.

The references seem to be a mostly/all fake. None of the 8 references are available online. In particular:

Reference 3 is just a link to a journalism school.
The Saturday Paper is used as reference 5, but the reference says it was the 5 January 2014 edition; the paper began publishing on March 2014 (see our article, and the reference used that confirms the March 2014 launch [4]).
Tele-Tech & Electronic Industries Journal is used as reference, but it appears this hasn't been published since 1956 [5].
The New York Times article in reference 7 doesn't appear to exist (I'm assuming the title in the reference is a typo, but there are no similarly titled articles); Google shows many, many NYT articles on this subject, but nothing with this date or this author
It appears that no such book as reference 8 exists; claims to be published by Houghton Mifflin, but doesn't show up in their web site [6]. Plus, does that really look like a legit book title to you?

In addition to questionable references:

The article was created by an SPA who moved an existing page and overwrote the content, rather than create a new page; this is a tactic done to avoid new page patrollers.
Promotional in tone.

I'm sorely tempted to just delete this as dishonestly created spam, but the article has been here since 2015 (!) so I guess another week can't hurt. Note to closing admin: if this is a "delete", we should probably remove content, delete Mayawaits' contribs, and move it back to Witt equivalence; there's some history there to preserve that was lost in the page move. And probably a futile block of long-abandoned User:Mayawaits for spamming. Floquenbeam (talk) 21:09, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WrestleMania 34

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

This seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:CRYSTAL. It is an article about a PPV a year away, and the article does not currently have any sources that discuss it at length, and a google search just seems to reveal speculation about a possible match. I claim that until WWE starts announcing matches, which will probably start with the Royal Rumble next January, this article should be a redirect to Wrestlemania, as the only sourced information will be trivial information about the date and location of the event, and speculation.

This article has also been the subject of various editors adding speculation and vandalism, which almost by definition are the only edits we can have until much nearer the event. Silverfish (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC) Silverfish (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Should be redirected to the main WrestleMania article until at least after this year's Mania. In the past we discussed not creating WrestleMania articles until after the Royal Rumble, when they actually start building to it. Nothing came of it at the time but I agree with Silverfish that this article shouldn't be created until then. In past years we left useless stubs in place for a year and they had to be semi-protected the entire time to avoid speculation and vandalism. That's pretty much all these stubs attract. The little bit we do know about the event is already at WrestleMania so a redirect is sufficient.LM2000 (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. Only ref is its own website, and the Gbooks and Gnews searches threw up nothing.
The previous AFD in 2009 considered these concerns, but one editor wondered if there were non-English-language sources, but didn't know how to search for them.

He may be worthy of note for his academic work, but I don't see that he meets the notability guidelines. None of the sources given in the article is an independent reliable source with substantial coverage. As for WP:NACADEMIC, three of his dictionaries have two or three citations each at Google Scholar, though in the case of one of them, all three citations were by one person; and I don't see any indication that he meets any of the other criteria for academics.

Strong Keep. Subject's books are, indeed, notable, particularly the two titles that are firsts in the field—The Zapotec dictionary, and the translation title.

Response: Point taken, though, you're quite right, I wasn't reiterating what you said, but emphasizing the existence of the citations.

Regarding PEN America membership: "PEN welcomes to its membership all literary writers and those belonging to the larger literary community. Writers should have one book published; playwrights and screenwriters: one work produced in a professional setting; others should have achieved recognition in the literary field. Nominations are not necessary. While admission is at the discretion of the Membership Committee, PEN aims for inclusion, recognizing that a growing and vibrant membership strengthens and informs all of its efforts on behalf of writers and their readers."[7] Even if all opinions are subjective, this is substantially less stringent that what "strict membership protocols" connotes to me. The standards today are only slightly looser than they were before June 2011: "Prior to a unanimous vote by PEN’s Board of Trustees on June 15, most authors were required to have published two books to join PEN. PEN’s by-laws have now been amended to allow writers to apply for membership after the publication of their first book. Playwrights and screenwriters may join after producing one work in a professional setting." Largoplazo (talk) 01:41, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unfortunately, coverage in either Japanese or English is sorely lacking. I'm trying to be more lenient here given how it appears she was mainly active in the late 90's to early 00's, a time when online coverage of anime was still not as developed as it is today. However, I just can't find any sign that she was notable even then, given that her only main role is as the title character of an obscure OVA. Had Kirara been a more well-known or popular OVA, I would have suggested a redirect there, but as it stands, redirecting doesn't appear to be viable.

Nasty woman

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

Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTDIC. The article contains some original research. For instance, the references used to prove that the phrase has influenced memes are just passing mentions. A claim about "worldwide news" is outright false, and nothing in the cited source supports the claim. I do not believe there is significant enough coverage to satisfy GNG, as quantity of sources does not imply quality. At least some in-depth coverage should exist to prove notability. I do not see any reason to keep this as a standalone article. Wikipedia is not a phrase book.

Note: I tried to PROD this, but it was removed by @Mark viking because "given all the mainstream sources referenced, non-notability looks controversial and would need a discussion". Ceosad (talk) 19:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Donald's original comment ("Trump calls Clinton 'a nasty woman'", CNN), reactionary coverage ("Sorry, Donald: 'Nasty' Has Long Been a Feminist Rallying Cry", The Atlantic), Ashley Judd's poem ("Tenn. teen wrote Ashley Judd's 'Nasty Woman' poem", USA Today, "Women's March: Ashley Judd recites Nasty Woman poem", Entertainment Weekly), Katy Perry's t-shit (yes, really), etc. Yes, I realize a t-shirt is trivial, but my point is there's more to "nasty woman" than just being a political phrase. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:54, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: To be fair, I don't think big notices always notify editors attempting to create new articles that similarly-titled drafts exist, and we can't expect everyone to know about the draft space, let alone search for entries before creating every new article. Also, the live "Nasty woman" article was originally created as "Nasty woman meme", then moved (by me, actually), so this may have also contributed to the duplicate creations. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can't say I agree with the first part of this. But I don't want to go off on a tangent. Instead, I think I see a good subject for an essay that doesn't yet seem to be covered... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:50, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to an appropriate article: I think that even if there is enough material to establish notability, I can't see it generating enough material for much more than a stub. Merging it to an appropriate article and redirecting the term would allow some appropriate coverage, while leaving scope to expand it into a full article if sufficient coverage warrants it further down the line. I'm not sure what the article would be - perhaps the article on the United States presidential debates, 2016, but I'm not sure if it would outweigh its prominence in the debate (the notability of the term seems to be as much about the backlash and its reclamation as Trump's utterance in the first place). — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 09:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. The term is not new, so WP:NEO and WP:RECENTISM does not apply. It's written about in this 1994 journal on JSTOR (if you sign up you can read it on your virtual JSTOR bookshelf), in this 2006 journal (subscription required), it is discussed in relation to The Color Purple where Shug is described as "nasty woman" who has outsider status in the community (p. 85-86 in this 2009 book), another article about Toni Morrison written in 2004, it is used to describe women who will not "take back" their husbands in this 1972 Journal, an entire 2003 book, The University of San Francisco Law Review has a 2017 article titled "Nasty Women and the Rule of Law." The term has clearly been used to describe a "certain type" women in the past and it received a strong push from Trump's use of it in the debate. The references in the article are strong, and it looks like the "original research" tag should be removed, since all statements are cited. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:40, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The sources and examples of usage demonstrate that the term as used in the article is not a definition, per WP:NOTDICT: "a person, or a people, a concept, a place, an event, a thing etc. that their title can denote." This term is a concept that the phrase now denotes for a number of clear uses beyond the etymology of the individual words. freshacconci (✉) 15:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is still a neologism. See WP:NEO that is part of the same policy. The article is just a bad stub, so saying that it is not written like a definition does not mean much... WP:RECENTISM probably applies here too. Ceosad (talk) 16:23, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ceosad, it is NOT a case of WP:NEO. See my argument with references above. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:10, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that those references use the phrase in the same context as Trump did. Claiming that they do would be original research. I agree with Lemongirl942 about that. Ceosad (talk) 13:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware that WP:NEO is part of the same policy and that it reads in the first line: "Articles on neologisms that have little or no usage in reliable sources are commonly deleted, as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term." That is no longer the case: there are multiple sources showing wide usage and there is no evidence that this article was created to increase usage of the term but rather to provide an article about a legitimate cultural term in wide use. As for recentism, that essay is not policy, nor a guideline. Nevertheless, it still does not apply: "Recentism is a phenomenon on Wikipedia where an article has an inflated or imbalanced focus on recent events. It is writing without an aim toward a long-term, historical view..." No evidence of that, and if the article as it stands does not aim toward a long-term historical view, that is an issue for editing and expansion, not deleting, as there are demonstrably enough solid sources to accomplish that. freshacconci (✉) 16:41, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or redirect somewhere and add content there) This reminds me of "Fuck her right in the pussy" which was closed as a redirect (which remained redirected, even after a deletion review).

Memes/internet pehenomenon needs to pass WP:EVENT and I don't see WP:PERSISTENT and WP:LASTING coverage about this.
The ccoverage presented in the AFD prior to Trump's use is not useful here. There is no proof that any previous usage of "nasty woman" was in the same context as Trump's. Appropriating previous usage into this phenomenon is WP:OR.
Keeping this as a standalone article is another good example of WP:SYSTEMICBIAS. Apparently every minute thing about the US Presidential election is notable for a standalone article.

I can get behind merging this content into an appropriate article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:00, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Hasn't really entered mainstream language, contrary to similar "nasty" political expressions such as Basket of deplorables or Binders full of women. — JFG ^talk 15:04, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that because those expressions are more specific — that is, they are recent metaphors, essentially coined by the speaker with whom they are associated, as opposed to "nasty woman", which is fairly generic slur — that they would flag up in the political lexicon because of that clear association. In the case of "nasty woman", though, it is that Trump used such a phrase in a Presidential debate that is the significant issue, and which should be covered, hence my suggestion for its inclusion in a relevant article if insufficient material for an article (but enough to establish notability) can be brought together at this point.

Meme-spinning and bandwagonning aside, the issue at hand is how notable it is for one candidate to use such a phrase. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 14:03, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's a common expression, which means that a brief mention of Trump's use in the debate page is all we shall ever need. — JFG ^talk 22:34, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revisiting and elaborating my iVote, I continue to think that we need to delete this article because it is not so much a 2-word neologism (as described in the article and by most of the 'keep" iVotes above,) as it is two very common English words that, even in justaposition, have at least the meanings 1.) a woman who is willing to get down and dirty, 2.) a political pejorative for a self-confident female, 3.) a woman who is enjoys engaging in sex - in this sense it used to be a pejorative, 4.) a woman who is an unpleasant person.

Tokyo Tower of Babel

This proposed fantasy building lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability. A bibliography in the article lists two books.

Keep and expand. She is a key member of Adam Again, and yes the former wife of the band's leader. I didn't look for discussions of the subject in relation to the band, but I found entries in Powell, Mark Allan (2002). Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music. Peabody, Massachusetts: Hendrickson Publishers. ISBN 1-56563-679-1.. Her own entry on page 590, comprising an entire column (which is my minimum consideration for notability if the subject was active during the time covered by the book, and she has gone on to do work after it was published). She is also mentioned in the two-page long entry on Adam Again on pages 22–24, in discussion of the band Duraluxe (a.k.a. Fluffy) on page 275, The Echoing Green on page 290, Michael Roe on page 773, Randy Stonehill on page 882, and Terry Scott Taylor on page 935 having performed background vocals for all. Much of this is supported in the credits at http://www.allmusic.com/artist/riki-michele-mn0001608480 which also lists credits on works by the Choir (alternative rock band) and Third Day. There are also the following: https://www.axs.com/riki-michele-sounds-to-be-at-peace-with-push-54009 http://popdose.com/cd-review-riki-michele-push/ http://www.tollbooth.org/2002/features/rikim.html http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2014/08/21.Riki%20Michele%20Launches%20Campaign%20For%20New%20Recording.asp all of which push it past the threshold of WP:GNG.

~~Possible~~ Keep but if not kept, then redirect to Adam Again. I added one solid source; more such probably exist. User:Walter Görlitz The best approach to seeing whether she can support an article is for someone to expand and source the article, with the material you have found, but also with reviews and discussion of her work. The fact that sources for an 80s and 90s band may only exist on paper is a problem, but paper sources (like old news clippings) can be used..E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC) Removing my hesitation after fuller examination of sources brought by Walter Görlitz; especially the Encyclopedia of Christian Music.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- No. The best approach is to discuss it. If the subject is notable then we keep the article. The state of the article does not confer notability to the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Merge Note that 24AM Studios is not the production company, or its owner R. D. Raja the producer, of most of the movies listed in the article. R.D. Raja seems to only have played an insignificant "promotion consultant" (not even sure what it means) role in those movies. However, 24AM Studios recently produced a film that received significant coverage by the Indian media. It is not appropriate to have an article on a production company that has only been briefly mentioned by secondary sources that cover the movies it produced (such can article can only host a list of its productions). Thus, it could be merged with the article on its owner R. D. Raja. — Stringy Acid (talk) 23:36, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete per WP:SNOW. Filming has yet to commence and there is no coverage to establish notability or even to confirm the performers acting in the short.

I think I'm going to close this early. There's no coverage out there about this short at all, not even to confirm that it will star John Rhys-Davies - which doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere at all. It also doesn't help that the production company section is written in a fairly promotional style, to the point where it kind of reads like it was taken from somewhere else, meaning that it could be WP:COPYVIO.

I am sure he was a very nice person, but having been a minister for 50 years does not by itself qualify a person as notable. The only reference provided is to a directory/ dictionary (?) entry that reads like it is likely an obituary. A google search for more sources turns up 19 results, most of which mention him as a "long-serving minister of Ammanford's Christian Temple", but say little or nothing more about him. Am not seeing enough here to substantiate a notability claim. KDS4444 (talk) 15:52, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree, doesn't an entry in a national anthology of biography satisfy ANYBIO? Smmurphy^(Talk) 22:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Response An entry in a national anthology indicates a likelihood of notability— no single criterion mentioned in WP:ANYBIO or anywhere else is by itself meant to be a free pass: we need to look at the overall picture, and to me, it is still inadequate here. The article in the South Wales Guardian may be fine for corroborating the subject's notability once that has been established by genuine national sources, but because of its local nature, it can't be used to substantiate that notability claim itself (never mind that its content as cited here is mostly a reprint of the Guardian's own obituary on the man from 1968, as stated in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, whose content derives from the same article, and that only the entry in the Dictionary has apparently had a named author). The Dictionary of Welsh Biography Down to 1940 contains over 4,300 entries, making it appear to be an indiscriminate collection of information. Also the Dictionary of National Biography appears to be a comprehensive British publication, whereas the Welsh version is much more local— the Wikipedia article on the former doesn't even mention the latter as one of its sources. I get the impression (though I am unfamiliar with the facts here) that there was a British version that presumed to cover all "British" notables, and then some local British groups such as the Welsh who found this unsatisfactory produced their own local versions of the same book in which they included only local ethnic notables (i.e., the Welsh). In any case, the content of all of the extant materials on this person appear to come from the same OBITUARY publication in the South Guardian in 1968, and such sources are usually considered WP:ROUTINE news coverage and inadequate for establishing actual notability. KDS4444 (talk) 07:08, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My interpretation of ANYBIO, ROUTINE, MEMORIAL, and RS doesn't seem to match yours. Myself, I don't see anything in ROUTINE or MEMORIAL that says that obituaries, especially non-paid ones, should not be used to establish notability. As for ANYBIO, I think that satisfying that or any subject-specific notability guideline indicates, as you say, likihood of satisfying GNG. To me, that indicates that a more extensive search should be made before concluding a subject is not-notable. In this case, that would mean having access to Welsh sources and, depending on the source, the ability to interpret them and their reliability. Since you didn't explain how you addressed this issue, I wanted to point out that ANYBIO may be satisfied, and I was curious what you did to be sure that GNG wasn't met. A google search seems a bit brief given such an indication of a likelihood of notability. As for RS, I don't think there is anything in the notability guidelines or subject-specific guidelines that precludes using a local source to establish notability, assuming that local source is reliable. And there is nothing in RS that precludes local sources. And it seems to me that the South Wales Guardian is a reliable source, especially for issues pertaining to Ammanford. In any case, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my !vote. Your reply does make me feel that your nomination is more plausible than I felt when reading your initial nomination. In any case, I still !vote keep. Smmurphy^(Talk) 14:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Smmurphy, A local newspaper is presumed ot be a reliable source, but while it does contribute to meeting notability standards, any topic that can only be sourced to local newspapers is highly unlikely to pass notability standards.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:29, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that if a subject can only be sourced to local newspapers, current practice is highly predisposed against the topic, but that the guidelines and policies do not forbid an article on that subject. I think predisposal against locally sourced subjects at AfD sometimes overreaches, especially because the concept of local changes over time and, in my opinion, has drastically changed recently (I think today there is more national coverage in online news sources of what might once have been local stories). Smmurphy^(Talk) 16:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's right. In this case, the Cardiff-based Western Mail (Wales) is regional/local, but the National Library of Wales is a gold-standard source.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:56, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although he has an entry in the dictionary, I still fail to see what makes him more notable than any other minister. We do not list people on the basis of simply having an OBE, or any other common award. Further, as all the information seems to have been traced back to a single source, it does not have multiple reliable secondary sources. --Killer Moff (talk) 10:06, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's not true at all. The biography lists other sources: Blwyddiadur yr Annibynwyr Cymraeg, Lleisiau ddoe a heddiw, etc. St Anselm (talk) 11:07, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Killer Moff has obviously not read the sources. He conspiculouly has not read the article from the South Wales Guardian linked by St. Anselm above. And certainly does not understand the sourcing and standards used in entries in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography Down to 1940. User:Smmurphy's argument is valid, and sort of makes the rest of the sources mere icing on the cake. But I do wish editors would - at a minimum - look at sources already present before iVoting and before bringing articles to AFD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:06, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I'm at work and don't have access to a lot of the sources owing to firewalls. I was taking KDS4444 at their word. However, my point still stands that I don't see anything in the article that suggests a specific notability!. --Killer Moff (talk) 13:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I assure you, I have read that, including the section where it says that merely meeting these criteria is not a guarantee of notability. I'm not denying that he has a bio. I'm asking what he's done that makes him notable. --Killer Moff (talk) 15:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Found some substantive discussion of his career in old newspaper articles, added some of it to article. There is enough notability here to keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:08, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to withdraw my nomination in light of having confirmed his receipt of an Order of the British Empire in 1965 (have added ref to same to article). Between this AND his appearance in the aforementioned Dictionary, I believe we now have a case for notability, however thin. Given that there has been at least one detete vote, this discussion must now run its course, but with the OBE, I am pretty certain we are going to end up with a keep outcome at this point. Would have been nice if the original author of the piece had included info like this from the beginning— it is mentioned in his obituaries, though it doesn't turn up with any prominence in Google searches.

The Japanese article is nearly an exact copy of the English one, with the same seven references; the Tagalog article has no content (it's a stub); the Chinese article has no references at all though its content appears to be a duplication of the Japanese article. A Google search turns up Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, and LinkedIn. There may be reliable sources in Japanese, but I am not competent to search for these.

Delete Ms. Antoniadou is definitely not an accomplished academic as she has no major publications (counted ~ 50 citations through Google scholar, also no scholar profile). She is also not an accomplished enterpreneur. Her company "Transplants Without Donors" is unclear if it ever existed. The only website I could find is this [11], which leads to a dead page here [12]. No news or products of the company exist elsewhere on the web. She also seems to have switched to a political career. The majority of awards gathered by Ms. Antoniadou, which are cited by the wiki article, are related to being a woman start-up enterpreneur, which was evidently short-lived and unimportant. These are not awards about contributions to science or business. Magicheader (talk) 10:32, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. .The basic principle here is the policy NOT INDISCRIMINATE. The guideline WP:N is an explanation of it, showing the criteria we usually use. It makes no claims to be the criteria we always use. It's the policy that mattes. And even the GNG says that meeting it is a presumption of notability , not proof of it. This is a good example of why that wording matters: The awards are meaningless unless they represent some actual accomplishment. they don't.UsingGNG fort someone who has never actually done anything notable is an absurd misuse of the criterion. Any number of citations about nothing still equals nothing. DGG ( talk ) 20:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm seeing a lot of editorial judgment in this discussion. Who is in charge of deciding which awards "mean something", or are "actual accomplishments" and are therefore notable? Doesn't the fact that an award was granted, and received significant coverage in reliable sources mean more than some editors' judgment that it was somehow unworthy? Isn't that judgment original research rather than an objective measure of notability? Are we to give more importance to an editor's determination of importance rather than objective measures?

Keep While the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone, poor writing is not a reason to delete. Her technology was invented in 2009 and resulted in a successful transplant in 2013. GNG does not require that she be limited to some narrow definition of academic, it requires that she has been covered in RS over time. We don't define whether she is notable.

Keep What's the issue here? She has numerous in depth news mentions, and was on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. There is zero doubt that basic notability exists, based on even the most cursory of searches. Statements above to the effect that "the awards are meaningless" advocate that editors should be (re)asessing the validity of awards given by notable institutions. Such a practice is similar to original reserch, in that is suggests Wikipedians can assess an award recipient better than the actual award-granting orgnanization.

delete She has not actually done much science or business, and this article was full of pretty slick promotional content. She is kind of pursing the celebrity scientist thing; appears to be famous for ...winning awards, which are generally not for actually scientific achievement but are more "science glamor" like the Cartier award. I would say WP:TOOSOON. Jytdog (talk) 19:54, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on claims I realised that there have been multiple attempts to remove the information about the artificial trachea or either whitewash it. Clearly, somebody with a conflict of interest was removing it. On looking into this, I realised that there is a link with the Paolo Macchiarini case.

From thisIn 2011, she directly contributed to research that enabled the world’s first successful completely artificial organ transplant, helping to craft an artificial trachea for a 36-year-old late-stage cancer patient. This is obviously the same case in this article
There is another source (though a primary source) which mentions the patient by name. See this While in the medical school of the University College of London, I worked with my classmate Claire Crowley for Prof. Alexander Seifalian on the development of a tissue engineered trachea that was mimicking the properties of its real counterpart. This graduate project was the winner of the Translation to Clinic and to Commercialization of Nanotechnology Products Competition in UCL and was shortly after implanted into a 36 year old patient, Andemariam Teklesenbet
She worked with Prof. Alexander Seifalian. See University College London is now investigating its links with the work of Paolo Macchiarini, whose windpipe transplants led to a surgical scandal. Alexander Seifalian, a former UCL professor of biomaterials, created the first synthetic trachea to be transplanted into a patient. The 36-year old Eritrean man, Andemariam Beyene, had been suffering from advanced tracheal cancer and died two-and-a-half years after the transplant. Seifalian was dismissed from UCL in July, after a tribunal in an unrelated case found that he had dishonestly obtained £24,000 from an overseas student.

If the article is kept, it should at least clarify this link, rather than simply saying her work was used in the "first successful artificial organ transplant". (That claim itself btw, need to be checked). --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:25, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Lemongirl942 - i had already made this series of edits and left corresponding notes on the talk page, before you made your remarks above. There was nothing in the article saying that her work was involved in the "first successful artificial organ transplant" so I don't understand why you wrote that. As I noted on the Talk page, I found the content and sourcing that were used to connect her work to the transplants done by Macchiarini to be both flimsy and promotional and self-destructingly so - apparently done without understanding the scandal that followed. So I took it out, because it was badly supported and promotional. Based on the new refs you brought here which make the underying picture more clear, I am going to try and add some content about it back in, being careful to mind BLP and NPOV. Jytdog (talk) 20:47, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And done, here. It is borderline UNDUE but is concise as I could make it; one can argue that the weight is DUE since most of the press about her talks about her role in that widely discussed artificial trachea stuff... which then went down in flames around her. Oy. I still say this article is WP:TOOSOON. Jytdog (talk) 21:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One current/ongoing club night doesn't seem particularly notable out of all the millions there currently are.

Lehigh Valley Railroad (and he's in the wiki there) is sourced from NY-Times (of him stepping down in 1974) in article - [17]. Memorabilia with his sig/name is sold (as railway memorabilia) - from a quick google search, for instance - [18]. Probably possible to source the earlier stuff (not from obit / 90s coverage) - but need to go through print archives.Icewhiz (talk) 11:25, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The obituary gives me pause. It was probably written by the family and not the Post Standard's writers. That goes to notability; it also means we should be wary of using it as a source for anything other than his birth and death dates. Mackensen (talk) 11:33, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the article is currently sourced from this, I believe - [19] which is independent. The NY-Times source I added from 1974 is more significant - but specific to Lehigh Valley Railroad.Icewhiz (talk) 11:45, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten the article as prose and incorporated Icewhiz's sources, plus a few of my own. Nash was president and later bankruptcy trustee of a major Northeastern railroad during a period of considerable upheaval and received plenty of coverage.

Article does not list or cite any context or notability outside of subject's appearance on two episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In addition, the only pages that link to the article are: pages related to MST3k, a disambiguation page, two film list pages, an article on the production company's founder (where Hired! is discussed only in its context as an MST3k subject), and a few talk and user pages.

Redirect to Jam_Handy#Filmmaking per Tokyogirl79's suggestion. As the nom mentioned, there are really no sources discussing this in any length or detail. Its only claim to fame is that it was featured in MST3K, and all the sources that do mention it are purely in the context of that.

The Myth of the Rational Voter

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

A long article, short on genuinely reliable independent sources. Half the sources are the author himself, the balance are generally trivial, or unreliable (e.g. Volokh). The article was substantially expanded by a user who appears to have some relationship with the author, Caplan, and has promoted Caplan extensively in other articles on Wikipedia. This book does not appear to be influential and some of the reviews are - ahem - unflattering. One fo the sources is actually just a comment by someone saying they haven't read it! Guy (Help!) 07:04, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Whether the reviews are flattering or not is absolutely irrelevant. All reviews a book receives count toward its being notable. If a book receives lots of reviews calling it total crap, and no positive reviews at all, then it probably is notable and we should have an article about it, because of the large number of reviews. Things are notable because they get attention in reliable sources, and there is no rule the attention has to be positive (whether the reviews themselves are well-informed or written by people who know what they are talking about is likewise irrelevant). Possible COI issues are also not a reason for deletion. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 07:24, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – WP:CRYSTAL states, "All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred". This anticipated event is virtually certain to occur, and the subject matter is of obvious wide interest, as per the many global news sources that have covered this topic. As such, the topic passes WP:GNG. See below for some source examples; additional sources are available. Another option is to draftify the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I started the article but would like this article to be kept I think in my view it has a lot of potential just like the other Microsoft Surface articles. Although it hasn't yet been released its in the pipeline to be released and its better to have it created now than later and the admin above North America provided far more references than I could find on the web which is good in my view... I would eventually like to continue expanding the article with the help of others but at the moment its stalled due to the deletion template. Regards, StewartLittle 07:00, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Regarding the sources above, as far as I can see, they mainly say that Microsoft might be working on a device that might resemble a smartphone and might bear the Surface brand. There's no concrete evidence that anything of the sort is actually being developed or will ever be released, and I have to disagree with the above assertion that "This anticipated event is virtually certain to occur".

I do agree that the subject, speculative as it is, is noteworthy, and probably some mention of it might be in order for, say, Microsoft Surface. But a separate article? As said above - too soon. There is simply no encyclopaedic information about it available right now, everything in the article as of the writing of this is pure speculation (even the infobox image is, unless I'm mistaken, a fan-made concept render). Taking it to userspace seems like the best course of action, if there are people willing to work on the article. Indrek (talk) 07:30, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for the spreading of rumors. The Surface Phone has not been confirmed officially by Microsoft - all of the "sources" posted above to back up keeping the article are simply speculation pieces, many of which are from sites that do not hold much credibility in the technology world. The image used on the article is a concept render, not an authentic photograph of the device. There are claims in this article that are straight up lies. This for example - "It was availabile for a purchase in 2017" - is completely false. This article should be deleted and if the time arises where there is credible information regarding the aforementioned device, then it may be recreated. MikeMeowz (talk) 19:51, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. We cannot just create article based on rumored upcoming events with no verifiable sources. The fact of the matter is, none of the verifiable news sources can confirm that the Surface Phone (if it's even called that) exists, nor have they seen one. Once the product is announced, we can add a long paragraph with all those sources in the Annonuncement section stating that it was long-rumored, because the existence of rumors can be verified, but not the rumors themselves until the product is announced officially or cancelled. If it is cancelled like the Surface Mini, and a verifiable news source can vouch for the product's existence, then that content could be verifiable. WikIan -(talk) 14:45, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here we go again - let's see how stare decisis works out in this case.

You are right -- I found this quote: "Bishop Glayton Modise, who has died in Johannesburg at the age of 76, was the leader of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, which has 350 branches and more than three million members in Southern Africa.

Keep -- As the leader of 350 churches, Glayton was in a position similar to that of the bishop or archbishop in a major denomination. Accordingly, he is certainly notable.

Keep added a few of the major South African papers that covered him. A number of articles during this tenure, teh church was a big deal and campaigning politicians used to stop by, producing article that describe the Church's scale and buildings. When he died, there was a battle over who would run the church; involving a son, Modise's two rival wives, and thousands of people mobbing courts where some aspect of teh church's afairs were being settled. Also a good deal of violence. It would be nice if someone felt equal to the challenge of producing a good article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but what are the "significant implications" for English case law? They may well exist, but I'm not aware of any, and there's nothing in this comment or the article in question to explain what they are. The only reason AFAIK that the case was discussed at all in the media was because there was a vague link to an actual notable person, which led to a bit of tabloid interest. I'm still not clear that either page is needed or justified. N-HH talk/edits 12:25, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In relation to above: as far as legal decisions go it really was not significant. It set no new precedent, just being an interpretation of existing law. It wasnt relevant in the wider issue of super-injunctions (cases such as the Trafig toxic dumping etc having the real meat in the area), and arguably it would not have raised a blip if it wasnt for the relationship to a much more famous non-party. A person with no celebrity connection wouldnt have made the press except as a passing mention in a law review. The key quote is the final one from the Guardian: "a further setback to the power of privacy orders to restrict reporting". Emphasis mine, this was just another in a line of super-injunction related cases at the time. Only in death does duty end (talk) 15:01, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted in 2016. Its sources are all passing mentions of Benjamin's online role as an Internet troll and minor role in Gamergate. Only source with some semblance of depth is this article in The Sunday Times, which covers a "trolling campaign" of his. At best, this is BLP1E, and at worst, this is a minor figure with no significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) (By the way, the easiest way to tell that Heat Street is unreliable is to find this page when looking for its editorial credentials. Reliability is about editorial pedigree and reputation for fact-checking.) czar 01:40, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mark Schierbecker It is mainly relevant because if Heat Street had a written editorial policy, it would likely be considered a reliable source (rather than a marginal one). If Heat Street could be considered a reliable source in this article then the notability of this subject wouldn't be in question. Insert CleverPhrase Here 19:20, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Benjamin meets Wikipedia's notability policy for entertainers by a good margin. His videos have 136 million views (plus another 12 million on this channel). The sources don't just show popularity, but that Sargon is a global political force. A Los Angeles Times reporter calls him a "provocative cultural commentator." BuzzFeed calls Benjamin and Paul Joseph Watson "prolific political-correctness watchdogs." Heat Street calls him a "resoundingly popular anti-PC YouTuber". Another source not mentioned in the article, and also surely not a passing mention: Sargon on The Rubin Report. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 02:31, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd consider it more than a passing mention IMO. The article isn't just about him, true, but mentions him 6 times in total and of those discussed in the article, he gets the most coverage. Again, as I said, it is marginal, but it is there. Insert CleverPhrase Here 18:24, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, I don't see the point in deleting articles like these (marginally notable bios where a fanbase really, really, wants an article). If we don't have an article there will be constant creations of poor quality submissions that will either end up at AfD or if the page is create-protected will end up wasting loads of time over at AfC. Also you can end up in a situation like over at Paul Joseph Watson where the page was deleted numerous times, create protected, and then even after the subject did get significant coverage, the article languished as a draft because of creation protection. Better to have a short stub on the topic that is decently written and can be improved. Insert CleverPhrase Here 19:16, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Politically charged or contentious AfDs are just like that, they tend to pull a bunch of people out of the woodwork (both for and against). The argument for deletion of this article really depends on how you define 'passing mentions' (is an article that is 1/3 about the subject a 'passing mention'?--IMO it is not). To say that this subject is not notable also requires completely dismissing Heat Street coverage. Insert CleverPhrase Here 18:32, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment about 'Heat Street'. People who are voting delete seem to be dismissing Heat Street as an unreliable source, despite a body of evidence that indicates that Heat Street issues retractions [40] (issuing retractions is a sign of a reliable source). 2: that they are taken seriously as a journalistic source by the white house and other news outlets: [41], [42], [43], [44]. as well as being taken seriously as a journalistic source by Factcheck.org [45].

Heatstreet alone has enough coverage of Benjamin to easily establish GNG [46], [47]. and there seems to be a body of evidence to establish that Heatstreet has a reputation as a reliable source among other reliable sources. Insert CleverPhrase Here 18:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this is what Andres rojas22 is referring to. however, Jess Philips does not mention him by name in the article, but does refer to his actions, and the tweets she received from others as a result of his comment "I wouldn't even rape you."

Delete – It is too soon for an article that would cover Benjamin encyclopedically. I am not convinced that the depth of coverage is substantial enough for a BLP, given that it consists almost exclusively of short opinion pieces and trivial mentions. Most of these are already included in the article itself or are discussed above, and I found no other substantial coverage after a thorough search. The opinion pieces (like the articles in the Los Angeles Times, telesur, and the Huffington Post, which is republished at the Good Men Project) comprise the most substantial portion of this article's sourcing, and while they are useful additions to an article in representing the spectrum of opinion, they are rarely reliable for statements of fact. I am extremely skeptical of counting Heat Street as an RS–it does not make any attempt to distinguish its mostly satirical opinion commentary (e.g. "American Values Under Attack: Link Is Transgender for 10 Minutes in New ‘Zelda’ Game", "Why Tracer Being Gay Is Offensive to Otherkin Like Me") from actual journalism. User:Insertcleverphrasehere proposed that it is taken seriously as a journalistic source by several outlets, but this seems to be largely a misrepresentation of their positions: the articles all indicate the media "takes Heat Street seriously" in the sense that they were important to the administration's wiretapping story, but they do not characterize its work as serious journalism; even the most avid followers of Mensch's reporting described in the articles, like Spayd, couch their praise with "I have no idea whether it's true or not". This indicates, if anything, a poor reputation; as mentioned by Czar before, the lack of a written editorial policy only furthers this. Other available sourcing is far too trivial (see one-sentence mention in Salon, the one-sentence scattered, brief, mentions on Buzzfeed News, a few short sentences in The Daily Dot, a tangential mention in VICE which devotes a short paragraph to the Jess Phillips incident and little more, etc.) The most substantial piece of journalism, this Times article, is much better contextualized in the Jess Phillips article. —^0xF₈E₈ (talk) 04:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mohiuddin Ahmed

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

The sources cited are his obituary, a similar short piece on an anniversary of his death, and a couple duplicative passing mentions. There is also a book, but no indication that it covers him. It is used only to support the name change of a student group.

From these sources we learn that he was acting president of a student political group. On its own, that is not enough to pass WP:POLITICIAN. We also learn that he was arrested for actively participating in the 1952 Language Movement, took part in the 1962 education movement, and fought for Bangladesh's independence during the Liberation War of 1971. Participating in those events would not be unusual for someone of his age at the time. There is very little detail about the form of his participation, other than that in one case he was at the forefront of a procession.

Mohiuddin Ahmed is a common name, which complicates searches. Several were active in the 1960s and 1970s, among them politicians, diplomats, military officers, and others, but I found nothing to connect them to this student leader. The article asserts that he joined the National Awami Party (NAP), but cites no source. If a source could be produced to show that this Mohiuddin Ahmed was important in a registered political party, I might be persuaded to change my recommendation.

I'm sympathetic to the fact that the peak of his career was in the pre-internet age, but there are enough newspaper databases and books online that I could find information about other Mohiuddin Ahmeds of the period, and about people who were definitely leading figures, but nothing about him until after his death, and nothing more than what the article cites. Searching by his "popularly known as" Bengali name returned no reliable sources. Does not meet WP:BASIC. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~Weak delete - the best I can do is say that Muhith 2008 says that a Mohiuddin Ahmed who was a leftist student leader went on a hungers trike with Sheikh Mujib (a founding father of Bangladesh) while in jail in 1952, and the two became friends. I don't think it is a leap to say this is the same Mohiuddin as the subject of this article. The connection to Sheikh Mujib, I think, is evidence that this Mohiuddin is the same who is mentioned as a leader in the NAP in google books snippet results (see https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=bks&q=%28"Mohiuddin+Ahmad"+OR+"Mohiuddin+Ahmed"%29+"National+Awami+Party"). Coupled with the 12th anniversary of his death being memorialized (UNB story from 2012), I think this person makes a suitable inclusion in wikipedia. Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your efforts. Do you have the book you cited, or were you working from Google's snippet view? Be cautious about connecting Mohiuddin Ahmeds. A Mohiuddin Ahmed from Mathbaria, an Awami League leader, joined Mujib in Pirojpur in 1956.[48] A Mohiuddin Ahmed, a member of Mujib's Awami League, was elected Member of Parliament in 1973 from constituency Pabna-5.[49] A Mohiuddin Ahmed was a minister in Mujib's government after Mujib dissolved all political parties and formed BAKSAL.[50] A Mohiuddin Ahmed, a Language Movement veteran and 1971 Liberation War organiser, died on 12 April 1997.[51] And because of the nature of politics at the time, being a leftist student leader is not a good disambiguator.
- Something to be aware of is that Joyshurjo, the creator of the Wikipedia article, also created articles about Mohiuddin 's wife (Raihan Akhter Banu Roni) and their son (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ziauddin Ahmed (Joy)). It's a good bet that Joyshurjo has a family connection, and would have known of and mentioned anything as significant as Mohiuddin being an intimate of Mujib's, a Member of Parliament, or a cabinet minister. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:15, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I could have guessed, even if I hadn't noticed, that the creator of the page would likely have a personal connection with the subject of the page. I didn't notice just how many Mohiuddin Ahmed's there are, three in the list of members of Bangladesh's first parliament. Given that many Language Movement members were arrested and imprisoned at that time, and there are certainly a number of people with this name involved in Bangladeshi politics, I guess I can't be so sure that this Mohiuddin was the one whom Sheikh Mujib met in prison. I've removed that addition from the page and changed my !vote. Sometimes a page like this will be coupled with a facebook page or something like that that can have more information. A search of likely terms in English and Bengali (my Hindu is bad, my Bengali non-existant, but I can read a name with enough time/help) doesn't seem to find anything. Nor does using google's similar image search [52]). Also, I didn't remember, but now do note that the celebration of the 12th anniversary of an individual's death is somewhat special, I think, so that announcement may be more passing than it seems. I would, of course, consider changing my !vote again. Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:05, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is awkward. The article is now (by coincidence) also being discussed a part of a class at the batch nom Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westfield Innaloo (2nd nomination).

Keep Firstly, there is no way WP:CSD would ever be appropriate in this case. SPEEDY is for cases where an article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". WP:A7 states "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines".

Delete. I don't see why we have to have an article for every single episode of a show.

Redirect per Wyliepedia. We need to start looking at FG articles much more closely as the show gets older and new episode articles have now now declined into 'type what I see' plotline reviews that the most rudimentary recap site would reject, a cite to the plot from Fox PR, followed by an episode grade from some random site (usually IGN, a gaming site, and even that's now getting the dreaded 'expand section' tag for newer episodes, meaning we're it for a synopsis on the web outside of fansites, which should not be where we are). Nate • (chatter) 14:38, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. It is a plot-only episode summary. There is nothing that shows this specific episode has any independent notability, as the only sources are generally just plot synopsis that do not go into any non-plot discussion. The fact that there are articles are other FG articles is meaningless if this particular one does not meet the notability standards. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:27, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- I can't answer for anybody else, but I did, and, as I said, could find nothing but plot synopsis. I have yet to find any reviews on the episode from any notable sources, nor any information saying anything meaningful about the development of this particular episode. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:45, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did (and have for most of these articles that have come to AfD); We've got under 60 G-hits under the episode title + review; without the 'review' appendage we have this article as #3, then Family Guy wiki and its IMDb entry, then TV.com before we decline to 'buy this episode', 'watch on Fox or Hulu.com' or 'stream this episode illegally and obliterate your PC through spyware' links. There is no there there; it's an average episode of an animated sitcom. The reason this lethargy still exists is that in the past multiple TV sites were hiring people to recap anything with a 22-minute plot on a screen so sources are plentiful, but since 2015 when AV Club decided to cull down to high-hit reviews and other sites did the same, these episodes somehow still get articles because of the past, even though it's just IGN and some site called 'BubbleBlabbers' reviewing it at this point in just 'acknowledge and move on' style. Enough is enough; this isn't going to grow, become a classic episode or be mentioned again beyond season reviews. This isn't the Wikipedia of 2007 and its time to be more judicious about what shows deserve episode articles or not at this point. Nate • (chatter) 19:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above. I like Family Guy, but see no reason why every episode should have an article, especially if they are simply going to be all plot as most of the current season 15 episode articles are. Dunarc (talk) 19:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. Does have a source. Quality of the article is irrelevant to notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:41, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What is this "source"? It seems to me that the article needs to be completely rewritten with "reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented" per WP:OR. This requires someone willing to expend the time and effort. I looked for info online, found very little, so more research is required for WP:V. Verifiability doesn't merely mean that the school probably exists, it "means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source." As is, the article fails core content policies. I've added the references that I found, but I can't tell if the school is notable with this small amount of verifiable information. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - AfD is not cleanup! We do not bring articles here if they need to be rewritten, only if they are not on notable topics. As for sourcing, the school's website is a source, so claiming it is unsourced is completely untrue. It may be poorly sourced, but that is not the same thing. There is obviously enough here for a stub, even if the rest of the article needs to be deleted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:58, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Caution and comment: please note that Google warns that the school website address listed in the article has been hacked.

Sources about this school can be found on HighBeam (which collects some years of the Times of Oman and some other ~~UAE~~ regional newspapers) and GNews. "Philippine School celebrates 20th anniversary in style" has substantial content about the school's history and is already cited.

Delete, as failing WP:V.

Weak keep per WP:PROF#C6 as the subject was the academic head of an university (seems to be a government university). There are some secondary sources available for verification, on searching for "A Jayagovind" such as [55], [56], [57], [58]. These are not the best sources (they seem to be replying on press releases or are quotes by the subject), but can be used for verifiability. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:08, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Titanic is a relatively notable director and musician, and is a major part of the That Poppy project which has gained serious traction in both the online niche AND the mainstream media lately. Cue her collaborations with Comedy Central and with iHeartRadio, all due to Titanic Sinclair. Imesko (talk) 22:54, 6 March 2017

Yes, he is a large contributor to the That Poppy project, but at the end of the day he is not nearly as notable or as well-known as Poppy herself. Also, I have not been able to find much about Poppy or Sinclair in the "mainstream media". Regardless of who managed to assist Poppy in collaborating with Comedy Central and iHeartRadio, he is not the one who appeared in the collaborations with them, Poppy is. I understand your point but would argue that to most, Sinclair is mostly a background figure who drives the project as opposed to someone who is at the forefront of it. As a musician, his band Mars Argo's work did not receive very much attention until his work with Poppy began to garner attention, and his work as a director has been minimal, to say the least. Benmite (talk) 21:23, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Would have to agree with Benmite; Sinclair isn't a public figure and more of a back stage person for That Poppy. Although mentioned in some sources, he isn't the main subject about them and merely mentioned only. Most sources on this article point to social media (not reliable) or items relating to both Mars Argo and himself. The article has also seem to make random assumptions, such as the arrest section or what Sinclair had commented himself here on Twitter about the page (although it might be light to say that much information about himself isn't in the public domain) as pointed out by user Hay232.

Comment The subject was the focus of an in-depth article describing his career when he retired as Chief of Police in 2013. In his role as chief, and in his current position as a county legislator, he is frequently quoted in the local Rochester press. He has not, from what I could find, been the subject in any national press (although he was featured in a column in the Albany Times Union). --Enos733 (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For a figure of purely local notability, it takes quite a lot more than just four pieces of purely local media coverage to get them over WP:NPOL #2 — every single local police chief who exists at all, anywhere in the entire United States, could always show four pieces of purely local coverage. What it would take in this instance is coverage which shows him as more notable than the norm for his role, such as coverage extending significantly beyond the purely local and/or the number of available references being closer to 50 than to five.

Comment Rochester, New York is the 3rd largest city in NY. It's not Mayberry RFD.Cllgbksr (talk) 03:38, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The size of the city doesn't provide a free notability boost to a police chief at all. An article about a police chief always lives or dies on whether he's been shown to clear WP:GNG on the quality and volume of the sourcing, regardless of whether he's the police chief of the biggest city on the planet or the smallest village.

Comment Article is about a Mayoral candidate. Cllgbksr (talk) 22:14, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If the subject was just a candidate for mayor, many editors, including myself, would apply WP:ROUTINE toward all of the coverage generated during the mayoral campaign. Candidates for public office are not presumed notable, and the position of chief of police or county legislator have also not been afforded the presumption of notability (Note: the election contest might be (e.g. Ohio gubernatorial election, 2014)). The question in this case is whether a) the coverage of subject (prior to running for office) is sufficient to meet WP:GNG or b) whether the subject was a primary topic in national or international news coverage. I comment because this is a close case. There are much more than four pieces of local coverage of the subject, and one regional piece (that I have found). At least one of the local pieces is an in-depth feature of his career as chief of police. (As an aside, a majority of the article should be about the subject's extensive career, not his current campaign). --Enos733 (talk) 03:28, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being a mayoral candidate doesn't assist notability either. People in politics get Wikipedia articles by winning election and thereby holding office, not by merely being a candidate in an election they haven't won. Bearcat (talk) 02:09, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Coverage of local figures has to be a lot more indepth to show notability than we have here. I distrust articles that use meaningless phrases like "a polarizing figure".

There's no evidence being shown of the wider distribution needed to clear WP:NMEDIA, and no indication of reliable source coverage to get it past WP:GNG -- the only reference being cited here is the sales page of a DVD on Amazon. There's simply nothing here to deem it notable enough for an article. Bearcat (talk) 05:39, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly I would like an explanation as to why the page has disappeared whilst it quite clearly states that there is a discussion as to whether this page will be deleted, It also states that I can still edit the page (and by edit I mean add further references(that I have not had time to add since I work and illness has required my attention of late...)) by the way, are you privy to the distribution details of the company that show the series? If so I would love to see evidence of that, from what I hear the show has been watched by and has tweets that mention the show as far away as Korea. Little bit out of the way considering the IPTV station as you say is local to Essex... Furthermore links with two actors who have pages on Wikipedia as well would to me suggest it is of interest to people who follow those pages. (ps. sorry if I seem a little ott with my rant here but I suffer from depression and not having a good time of late and this doesn't help particulary since I spent so much time setting the article up only to have you tear it down on a whim against it seems the rules stating that it was under discussion and I would still be able to edit it? Would love an explanation as to why I can't access the page anymore. (Ps. also why is there a page for Essex tv if its a local IPTV station? surely that contravenes the rules that you are mentioning earlier on in this talk?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.138.201.43 (talk) 10:13, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies I was able to edit the article I misunderstood how to get to it but the links to the page from relevant other articles have been removed that's what initially annoyed me about not being able to edit it. I will add more references to the show. I am still wondering why there is scrutiny over my article being about a show on a local iptv network though and yet an article exists for the channel itself, that seems to contradict itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.138.201.43 (talk) 10:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Consensus is this fails WP:GNG due to lack of sources, and WP:FOOTYN because the team hasn't played their first match yet. No reason it can't be re-created (or this version restored) if/when these problems are resolved. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:54, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unpromising google search. Article is about small soccer team that hasn't played yet, TOOSOON, CRSYTAL, WP:FOOTYN L3X1 (distant write) 00:19, 21 March 2017 (UTC) Nom Withdrawn unless it would be considered disruptive, I would like to postpone this deletion until May 25th 2017, after their scheduled debut game. I think NAC would allow the Nom to close this as Probational Keep, withdrawn, so I can close this tomorrow unless this is objectionable. L3X1 (distant write) 15:40, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@L3X1: Given that there are !votes to delete the article, withdrawal of the nomination is not an option unless all such !votes are also withdrawn. If every !vote were to keep the article, you could withdraw your nomination and close it yourself, but this is not the case. If you were to attempt an NAC close, it would quickly be reverted. I would recommend allowing the AFD to run its course and have an admin make the final decision. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 12:59, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep given that the team is scheduled to begin play in only a little over a month, I don't think a TOOSOON/CRYSTALBALL deletion is a good idea. Furthermore, almost every team in that league has an article, and I don't think this should be an exception. Lepricavark (talk) 00:58, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG - hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Hack (talk) 02:49, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as the club hasn't played a match, it falls short of WP:FOOTYN and the expectation of it playing, even in the near future, is WP:CRYSTAL. There seems to be surprisingly little coverage for a new franchise which would mean it does not pass WP:GNG either. Can be restored by an admin as soon as they play.

Delete - cannot see from Google that this team even exists. Giant Snowman 08:10, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:FOOTYN, no indication the club has played in a national competition, no indication of any other achievements garnering sufficient significant, independent coverage to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 12:10, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Club has not yet played a single match (WP:CRYSTAL), though it is listed on the NPSL website as a current club. Strangely, I find no other mention of the club on Google or Yahoo searches, so WP:GNG is clearly failed. Regarding WP:FOOTYN, there are three prior AFDs (Grand Rapids FC, AFC Ann Arbor, and Oakland United FC) that pointed out a particular ambiguity within the club notability section: All teams that have played in the national cup (or the national level of the league structure in countries where no cup exists) are assumed to meet WP:N criteria. Teams that are not eligible for national cups must be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria. This does not address teams which are eligible to play in the national cup but have not yet done so; overall consensus seems to have developed (see the three prior AFDs) that mere eligibility confers notability, but that is a discussion for elsewhere. To reiterate, I !vote to delete because WP:GNG is failed, and the club has not played a single match so WP:CRYSTAL applies and WP:FOOTYN does not. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 13:35, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably because of larger team S.S.C. Napoli who play in Italy, the english name for this city is Naples.AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep CRYSTAL doesn't apply, the team's about to begin their season. Just about every team in the league they're currently in has entered into the U.S. Open Cup, so unless it's clear this team won't also be held to that standard, it meets FOOTYN. This is a case for expansion, not deletion. If the article can't be expanded and improved within a few months, then come back and delete it. I would support deletion then 1000%. There's no rush. South Nashua (talk) 17:01, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator suports this reasoning as superior to deletion If the article can't be expanded and improved within a few months, then come back and delete it. I would support deletion then 1000%. There's no rush. L3X1 (distant write) 19:52, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No point deleting if they will soon pass WP:NFOOTY. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would really like to vote "Keep" but since there is so little citation on this very article (4 or 5 different searches on both google and bing yealded 3 sources, one being the teams Facebook page and the other two being promotional) I cannot. Ether way it seems like WP:TOOSOON, I think L3X1 immediate comment above is the best way to go. Inter&anthro (talk) 13:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete As per the previous comment, I'd be inclined to want to keep the article on the basis that most clubs at their level have been deemed notable, but the complete lack of reliable sources is a real problem for me. You would think a new franchise would generate some press coverage, but apparently not in this case. The fact they haven't played yet isn't the issue, it's the fact that they fail WP:GNG based on lack of significant coverage. Jellyman (talk) 14:42, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
