- 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 speedy keep. It obvious that it is totally irrelevant whether this meets WP:GNG or not, it is, as I am told "an iconic American brand" therefore there is no purpose served by dragging this out any longer that I have already. (non-admin closure) Dysklyver 21:07, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Chips Ahoy! (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
not notable, a promotional article about a particular brand of Chocolate chip cookies with no obvious reason to include it in an encyclopedia. fails WP:GNG and WP:PROMO. Dysklyver 20:46, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Food and drink-related deletion discussions. J947( c ) (m) 22:50, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment, WHAAAATTT!!!!!, how could chips ahoy! be up for deletion? they are about the tastiest bikkies out there, surely they meet WP:YUMMY? oh drat, don't we have such a policy..... Coolabahapple (talk) 00:13, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Significant coverage in e.g. Fast Food and Junk Food: An Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat, Volume 1, also 2, 3 etc.--Pontificalibus (talk) 10:52, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- [1] Fast Food and Junk Food, An Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat, by Andrew F. Smith. possibly a good source, Pontificalibus should give the page numbers from his copy though since it isn't available online.
- [2] The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book: Scrumptious Recipes and Fabled History From Toll House to Cookie Cake PieCountryman Press/W.W. Norton. I have no opinion on whether this book is a reliable source, I can't even tell if it is researched or not, let alone the fact checking it went through.
- [[3]] This NY Times article is a good start.
- Dysklyver 11:17, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per coverage in the NYT and offline sources. Wikipedia does not require that the sources be easily available online, only that they exist and that someone would be able to verify information in the article about the subject if they had them. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:48, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Notable with significant coverage in multiple types of sources. Not sure what the nom was thinking with this one? WP:BEFORE -- Dane talk 21:02, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

- Merge to Cheese cracker. North America1000 09:46, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not convinced there's any reason to merge this with Cheese cracker .... it doesn't seem to be notable in its own right. -- HighKing++ 17:46, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - there are many good sources readily available as anybody can find. Bearian (talk) 00:12, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Bearian: – 5 point test:
- Significant coverage? I've looked through all 11 pages and cannot see any significant coverage.
- Reliable source? Can see the Houston Chronicle and the Chicago Tribune. There's probably more.
- Multiple sources? Definitely.
- Secondary sources? Some are.
- Non-local sources? Some are.
- However, just the one fail is still enough to not meet the general notability guideline. J947( c ) (m) 05:50, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Please post two links that you believe meets the criteria for establishing notability. You have posted a link to Google Search but this does not qualify for the purposes of establishing notability. You have mentioned the Houston Chronicle and the Chicago Tribute but you have not posted links to any references. This Houston Chronicle reference is a mention-in-passing and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Similarly, this Chicago Tribune reference is also a mere mention-in-passing (of the product, not the manufacturer) and likewise fails WP:CORPDEPTH. -- HighKing++ 15:37, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, A Traintalk 09:21, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete (not merge) as a non-notable food product, a group for which there is no clear WP notability guideline anyway. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:59, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - a relevant brand of cheese crackers. Aleccat 17:36, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Aleccat: relevant does not mean notable, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate catalogue of brand names. Dysklyver 19:01, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- I totally get that and all, but there are sources in this discussion. Stub the article and expand it. Do not be a deletionist. --Aleccat 12:57, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, meets GNG: idiotic branding leads to bomb scare, review of new flavors, trade magazine discussion of Cheese Nips' popularity, more review of new flavors, product launch in Middle East, Goldfish crackers vs Cheese Nips lawsuit. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:11, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- @PMC: well that's a lot better, propose close re WP:HEY. Dysklyver 13:26, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. This brand is definitely notable and is probably the best known competitor to Cheez-It. (Either way, I oppose "merge into Cheese cracker" since merging a brand into that page makes no sense. The only viable option I can see in lieu of deletion or keeping is "redirect to List of Kraft brands#Mondelez International".) Steel1943 (talk) 14:29, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- delete It doesn't seem to me that anyone is looking at the references that people keep pointing at. Mostly they are passing references; the rest are uniformly "Cheese Nips are Kraft's version of Cheese-Its." Being able to find them on a store shelf somewhere isn't notability. Mangoe (talk) 15:12, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep while the sources provided may not devote much space to discussing these bad tasting Cheez–It knockoffs, I will contend that the sources argue for the notability of this product by treating it like something the reader already knows about. Lepricavark (talk) 04:39, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect to List_of_Kraft_brands#Mondelez_International. There's nothing in the current article worth preserving. It's 100% promo despite being a WP:DIRECTORY listing, thus doubly excluded per WP:NOT. Redirect is the best option in this case. Someone wants to develop it down the road? Fine! But since it ended up at AfD, the redirect is the best approach. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:54, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 15:49, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per the sourcing found by PMC above, which is enough to satisfy our inclusion requirements. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Statista reports that in 2016, 1.5 million Americans consumed eight or more bags of Cheeze Nips. Since Wikipedia notability is a measure of attention to a topic by the world-at-large, this statistic alone is sufficient as evidence of Wikipedia notability. The counter-hypothesis would be that these 1.5 million Americans bought these crackers without knowing what they were buying. Unscintillating (talk) 18:25, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Unscintillating, perhaps you should go and read WP:WHYN, and then read the notability policies again as you clearly don't understand them, your definition of notability is actually stated as what it is not! notability is nothing to do with something being famous, it is entirely to do with the presence of multiple reliable independent sources that have substantial coverage of the subject. Dysklyver 18:42, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- WHYN is not part of the guideline proper. If you look in the WP:N history, I think you will see that it was rejected ten years ago. There is no such thing as "notability policy", unless you mean WP:V#Notability. The place to start in reading WP:N is the lede and the nutshell, which is what supports my !vote. Unscintillating (talk) 20:31, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- You might want to tell the relevant people how a large section of the current WP:N guideline was rejected 10 years ago, it is still marked as a current guideline on the main notability
policyGuideline page. Neither the lede or the nutshell are part of the guideline either, but you are supposed to use these things to interpret it. Dysklyver 21:54, 22 October 2017 (UTC)- WHYN is not a part of the standard, so let's move on. As for the lede and nutshell of WP:N, they are what they are, and they are not there to interpret GNG. Unscintillating (talk) 01:19, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- You might want to tell the relevant people how a large section of the current WP:N guideline was rejected 10 years ago, it is still marked as a current guideline on the main notability

I don't see that this company satisfies WP:NCORP, based on the sources provided and the sources I could find via Google search. In the nominated version of the article (permalink: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=LA-CO_Industries&oldid=804109826) the sources are...

My own Google searching finds nothing but primary sources, press releases, passing mentions. I can find no in-depth independent coverage. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- It is also clear that the article has been developed by undisclosed paid editors. Per WP:Outing I can't provide the evidence here, but I can pass it on to any other admin who wants to see it and they can say here whether they agree with me. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:47, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, one thing I can say without breaching WP:Outing (because it's all open at the geolocate link on the IP contributions pages) is that the couple of IPs that have edited the article, User:12.161.143.50 and User:12.161.143.57, are corporate static IPs and geolocate to Elk Grove Village, Illinois, which is is where LA-CO is based.

- Delete per Boing's analysis and my own searches. Sourcing here doesn't meet our standards for inclusion: it is either not independent or is not substantial.

- Delete - Is promotional and there isn't enough indepth coverage in independent reliable sources, meaning that we cannot verify the contents of the article. Thus, because of the promotional nature of the article and its lack of ability to be verified, this article should be deleted. RileyBugz会話投稿記録 14:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

The result was merge to Battle of Nanchang. Seems to already be carried out, redirected and everything. No point in keeping it open any longer, since consensus seemed to be pretty much formed before the relist. ansh666 03:50, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: G'day, not sure about this yet, but if redirected, I think the Battle of Nanchang article would be a more appropriate target than the Battle of Xuzhou article. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:08, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect (changed from delete) -
As far as I can gather, and I have been trying, this battle has been misnamed at best and didn't happen at worst.The Battle of Xuzhou (Jiangsu province) happened in 1938 some 800 kilometres away from the Xiushui river (Jiangxi province) according to Google Maps, so that can't possibly be the correct target for a redirect. Furthermore, the article itself specifies that this engagement was part of the Battle of Nanchang. Assuming this battle happened, as stated, in March at the river, which is around the same time as the Battle of Nanchang, then it makes sense to redirect it there. However, I mention that this battle may not have occured at all, and I base this on the source used at the article for the Battle of Nanchang. You see this source states that;The first action took place at Wucheng in Jiangxi Province, where Japanese troops were held down by Chinese positions near the Xiushui River for four days ...
. The other relevant quote, which contradicts the first, isChinese troops repulsed a Japanese attack across the Xiushui River near Wucheng, Jiangxi Province, China
. Indeed, Wuchengzhen (Wucheng is in Zhejiang and Wuchang is at Wuhan) is located between the rivers of Xiushui and Ganjiang[4]. So, at the very least, the placement of the battle is incorrect according to the cited source. The idea that a battle may have occurred here is supported by this source which states;The Japanese had come to the conclusion that in order to control the central Yangtze valley they would need to destroy IX War Zone south of Wuhan and west of Poyang Lake. To do that they would drive south on the west side of the lake to the city of Nanchang with their 11th army, recent victors at Wuhan. The Japanese offensive kicked off on 17 March 1939 and met with only few instances of hard fighting
. The source, however, doesn't state where this hard fighting happened. Wuchengzhen is located, coincidentally, on the west side of Poyang Lake, and south of Wuhan. In terms of Xiushui, however, all I could find was a reference to Japanese troops following the Xiushui river, from the recently captured Nanchang, on their approach to Changsha with no battle whatsoever. This might seem odd as Changsha is another 500 kilometres from Xiushui river, again, according to Google Maps. The best that I could do was to follow Google Maps and chart a route via google maps from Xiushui river, but, that's semi-OR. This leads me to the final question, do we rename or simply delete the article. I have done as thorough a search as possible, and have found no reference to a battle at Xiushui, and only one reference to a battle at or near Wuchengzhen. I think deletion is the appropriate action here. The only reference that I could find to the battle comes from a C. Peter Chen who appears to be a software engineer with an interest in history, but, isn't a historian. This leaves me with my only available source being of some dubious authorship/scholarship. If perhaps the author had listed their sources for the material, I might be inclined to look at them as well. As they haven't, I can't verify any of their information. Furthermore, they keep saying Wucheng, which as I've stated, is in a different province completely. So, I have to come to the conclusion that this article fails WP:V and as such, should be deleted. TL;DR -The information in the article is unverifiable, the source it appears to come from is of dubious scholarship given that the author is a software technician and not a historian, and as such I come to the conclusion that the article should be deleted.Well, after being notified, I did a second search through the article, refer to my second comment for findings. Mr rnddude (talk) 13:01, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Wucheng = Wuchengzhen. "Zhen" is just a Chinese word meaning "town", and the Chinese language employs no spaces. The en.wp convention is to omit "zhen" just like the source. You are right there is a Wucheng in Zhejiang, but there are also multiple Wucheng's in Jiangxi, such as our Wucheng, Yongxiu County (zh:吴城镇 (永修县)) and Wucheng Township, Zhangshu (which IS NOT on the Xiushui River despite what the article says). Timmyshin (talk) 11:38, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information regarding the meaning of "zhen" and the multiple Wuchengs in China. Prompted by your message and !vote, I did, after a second read through of the article, find this article, which I had missed the first time, that specifies the battle with minor details;
MajGen Sumita's 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade bombards Chinese positions in support of the IJAs crossing of the Xiushui River, but after meeting little resistance, cease the bombardment. Japanese troops successfully cross the river barrier
andIJA troops, supported by aircraft and tanks, break out of the Xiushui River bridgehead, defeat Chinese reinforcements and reach the west gate of Nanchang
. It's not much, but, it's enough to verify the battle. So, redirect is fine. That said, there are still zero citations in the article itself, I'm not sure that a merge can be performed. Any chance you have any other sources to look at? Mr rnddude (talk) 13:25, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- You can try other spellings of Xiushui: Hsiushui, Hsiu River, Hsiu-shui, Xiu River, Xiu-shui etc. This appears to be a good source: [5] Timmyshin (talk) 14:45, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information regarding the meaning of "zhen" and the multiple Wuchengs in China. Prompted by your message and !vote, I did, after a second read through of the article, find this article, which I had missed the first time, that specifies the battle with minor details;
- Merge to Battle of Nanchang. The battle did exist and the Nanchang article already contains many details about the Xiushui battle. I don't think there's enough information for a stand-alone article and the Nanchang article isn't very long. Timmyshin (talk) 11:43, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

- Dark marketing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Original research with misused and poor references designed to publicise the view of a particular start-up company, BrandTotal, which claims to have trademarked "Dark Marketing" and uses it to push their marketing intelligence platform. It was quite wrongly accepted at AfC, especially since it contained this blatant advertising for BrandTotal. If further proof of the intent of this article is required, see here. The entire article is based on a very misleading, skewed and idiosyncratic definition of the term "dark marketing", which has multiple uses and meanings in scholarly literature. See the front page of BrandTotal.com and this post on their blog which are essentially repeated in Dark marketing and are now posing as a Wikipedia article. For more on these issues, see the discussions at Talk:Dark marketing. There's a good argument for completely blowing it up. Minimally, it should be returned to draft space.

Delete. I had also looked for scholarly sources and had concluded that this article does not accurately reflect use of the term "dark marketing" in that literature. I had suggested moving the article back to draft, given the obvious AfC failures here, but I am not convinced that the author has an interest in writing a non-promotional article. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:55, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Changing to draftify, since the author has displayed an interest in writing a more neutral draft. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. I have carried out a thorough investigation of this article and have concluded that it misrepresents the body of literature (the blog literature) and completely ignores the scholarly literature on the subject. I have provided detailed, evidence-based arguments on the article's talk page. The article is an exercise in spin and is an embarrassment to Wikipedia, with the potential to mislead users. BronHiggs (talk) 07:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: appears to be a likely COI/promotional creation, consisting mostly of original (and poorly done) research. A couple of other editors have been thorough in research attempting to see if it can be improved as is, but WP:TNT seems the best course of action. Melcous (talk) 09:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Do NOT Delete. Please do NOT delete this article for the following reasons. While I am affiliated with BrandTotal, I chose to write this completely on my own without compensation because I believe it's important to have a wikipedia page on dark marketing to share and make known this ongoing phenomenon. Yes, "dark marketing" has other meanings which I included in the article and will continue to include, as this is still a work in progress. There was no previous page on dark marketing and I believe there needs to be one. All BrandTotal ties have been COMPLETELY REMOVED from the article because the intention was never to promote BrandTotal and, instead, is meant to be an informative piece about dark marketing (BrandTotal information was included originally just to provide factual information that "dark marketing" was indeed trademarked by BrandTotal). Additional references to the article were added/changed that support the writing, and others may continue to be added. I am happy to edit and adjust the article to more clearly demonstrate the other meanings an uses of the term "dark marketing" with scholarly literature. PLEASE put it in draft space and do not delete. I do not at all mean to mislead users, since the meaning of dark marketing that I convey is absolutely one of the meanings. Please consider my points above and understand that I have every intention to write about dark marketing solely for the benefit of the wikipedia and marketing community.Rooks12345 (talk) 11:26, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Draftify: per Cordless Larry. It's not ready for the mainspace as it appears to be a neologism of sorts but I think it's unfair to the page's author to delete something that has been accepted via AfC that could be notable, verifiable and neutral given enough time and effort. The AfC accept was probably erroneous (courtesy ping Sulfurboy). DrStrauss talk 09:58, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Neutral. I am staying neutral as I was the editor who approved it out of AfC. I will state however, that I did not do as much research as some of the above editors into the scholarly level of accuracy in the article. Thus, consideration should be given to them. Thanks to everyone for their work on looking into this. With 1700ish articles in the AfC process waiting for review, it's hard to dig too deep below the surface in reviewing, so please understand that occasionally one may slip through the cracks. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:59, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, while I appreciate that the drafts backlog means that researching each and every topic in detail is not realistic, surely you shouldn't be passing drafts with this much unreferenced content? Cordless Larry (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Do not delete. Comment. I very much appreciate getting more time to adjust the article so that it demonstrates a more scholarly approach. It has great potential and absolutely does not intend to mislead readers, since the meaning conveyed is certainly a meaning of Dark Marketing. As mentioned previously, the sole intention is to help make the wikipedia and marketing community become more aware of this ongoing phenomenon.Rooks12345 (talk) 15:12, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Simply tacking on "other uses" to the current article is not sufficient. And, no, the meaning conveyed is not one of the accepted ones. The primary focus of the article is the completely proprietary "definition" and analysis used by BrandTotal in their marketing material. The Wikipedia article is simply paraphrasing that material. No other reliable source uses that definition and that analysis. Nor have any independent reliable sources written about BrandTotal's definition. Simply having removed the explicit advertising copy and all the links to BrandTotal's blog and website, does not change the situation. In fact, given that the whole analysis is paraphrased from BrandTotal's materials, the current state of the Wikipedia article is extra misleading since it does not explicitly state where it comes from. The advertising remains but becomes hidden. By closely echoing BrandTotal's marketing material, the Wikipedia article lends credibility to it whether the BrandTotal name is mentioned or not. It is, dare I say, a prime example of "dark marketing". If sent to draft space, the article will have to be completely rewritten from scratch, leaving out all the previous text. Voceditenore (talk) 17:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as advertising per above comment/analysis by Voceditenore. I can understand why it was accepted at AfC, (promotions shouldn't be for perfect articles, just those which the reviewer deems likely notable) but it doesn't stand up to deeper scrutiny. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 04:05, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

THE RUB meets multiple Wikipedia notability criteria for Bands:
THE RUB clearly meets this criteria:
Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
Happy Squid Records, Los Angeles. www.HappySquidRecords.com one of the most important independent record companies in Los Angeles punk/post punk/underground. THE RUB released 2 full length albums, and is releasing new material on this label in the next 2 weeks.
Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinals_(band)
Also,
Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1].
https://mrowster.wordpress.com/category/the-rub/
This is one example.

- Roel Vertegaal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails to meet WP:COI, WP:GNG, WP:BLP, WP:AB, WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NOT policy
Likely fails to meet WP:PROF, but this is secondary in light of other concerns.
From the edit history, it appears that this article was written by the subject himself from various IP addresses, with the goal of self-promotion:
Almost all of the content of the article comes from 130.15.1.241, which has only ever edited the Roel Vertegaal article (and is A Queen's University IP). Other contributors include 67.193.129.113, which has edited the Roel Vertegaal and Human Media Lab (Vertegaal’s lab) articles, and 67.193.192.237, which has edited only the Roel Vertegaal, Flexible Display, and Organic User Interfaces articles (located in the same city as Queen’s University).
The subject of this article fails the WP:GNG and WP:PROF policies: It establishes Vertegaal’s notability as an academic by appealing almost entirely to primary sources authored by Vertegaal himself. Of the 20 references given, only 3 refer to sources that are not written by the subject himself. 16 of the other references fail WP:NOR, being primary sources (largely conference papers) authored or co-authored by Vertegaal himself. According to WP:PROF “. . .it is necessary to explicitly demonstrate, by a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers other than the person in question, that this contribution is indeed widely considered to be significant. . .”
The Roel Vertegaal#Startups section of the biography consists entirely of material promoting Vertegaal’s own business interests and does not adhere to wikipedia’s guidelines regarding NPOV or self-promotion. It supports Vertegaal's standing in the business community with a link to [Xuuk Inc], which is an “Account Suspended” page.
This article is peppered with claims that are either exaggerated, non-notable, or unsourced. Here are a few examples.
- A reference in the introduction to “pioneering work,” backed up only by primary sources (academic conference papers), which have the subject himself as an author.
- The sentence: “He is also known for inventing ubiquitous eye input, such as Samsung's Smart Pause technologies, and BitDrones, one of the first programmable matter user interfaces” is completely unsourced.
- The sentence: “Vertegaal developed one of the first inline PC webcams, FrameServer, deployed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak” is not sourced, but does feature a link to a listserv post in which Vertegaal himself describes an internet webcam interface he developed—far from “inventing one of the first inline PC webcams.”
- The biography also includes numerous examples of unsourced personal information, including the grammar school Vertegaal attended, what brand of synthesizer Vertegaal used as a child, an undergraduate scholarship, and the brand of sports car that he drives. None of these are supported, except for the sports car, which is supported by a reference to Vertegaal’s own twitter account.
I nominate this article for deletion. If it is determined that the subject of the article does meet WP:PROF notability guidelines, it will nonetheless need to be entirely rewritten without the self-promoting material (which, as it stands, is the entire article).

Burton Christenson was an NCO in E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Neither his rank (technical sergeant) nor his awards qualify him for coverage under WP:SOLDIER; most of the information about him is in relation to generic events, such as a weapon jamming. After the war, Christenson returned to civilian life and worked for "the telephone company" while also operating a gymnasium and working in landscaping; none of these things earned him significant coverage. His most significant representation in the Band of Brothers miniseries involved the incident in which a soldier representing Christenson drank water when told not to do so; Christenson's fellow soldiers said that never happened to the real Christenson.

Had a prod removed with the comment that they were the head coach in a professional league. However, the league they are a head coach of even the players aren't considered notable, nevermind the coaches. Fails to meet WP:GNG after a search, nothing but passing mentions or routine coverage and also fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY as either a player or a coach. DJSasso (talk) 11:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Head coaches of sports teams are often more likely to be notable than their players. For instance, head coaches of Division I college basketball and football teams are generally notable, and hockey coaches at that level usually are as well, even though most players on those teams aren't unless they go pro. So I don't necessarily agree with the logic that if the players on the team aren't notable, the head coach isn't either. Of course, that doesn't mean he is notable either. I'm withholding my !vote until I look into this a bit more, but I wanted to get that out there. Smartyllama (talk) 14:32, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- That is definitely the case in some sports I agree, but not generally in the minor leagues of hockey. This league is a few steps down from the NHL and is mostly in markets that don't have much hockey coverage period, let alone in depth articles about the coach. All that being said I couldn't find any sources, but if some can be found that is great. -DJSasso (talk) 16:11, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - I removed the PROD. I am seeing multiple published news sources about the subject being named to the position, being nominated as one of the top five coaches in the league, and having his contract extended. I leave it for the hockey people to determine whether this is sufficient for inclusion; I will say that this notability question should be discussed at AfD rather than through PROD, for sure. Carrite (talk) 13:17, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah we typically consider that type of coverage routine. Surprised no one has come to comment yet as we usually have a number comment on these hockey deletions, other than maybe they don't see it as controversial so haven't commented. -DJSasso (talk) 15:45, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: I have held off my conclusions until now and have searched for sources because I sort of assumed they would exist for him. But in the end, I found hundreds of mentions in primary sources and lots of routine coverage (ie "Graham named coach", "Graham signs extension", "Graham named Director", etc). I went through about dozen pages of results for "Neil Graham" hockey and I am just not seeing any articles about Mr. Graham himself. I would happily retract my !vote if someone proves otherwise. Yosemiter (talk) 16:12, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete After reviewing common practices for minor league coaches, both in hockey and other sports, it appears most of them aren't considered notable unless they pass some other criteria - such as having previously played at the highest professional level in their sport. So I agree we shouldn't be granting minor league hockey coaches (or minor league baseball managers, or G-League basketball coaches) the same sort of presumptive, albeit uncodified, notability we grant to Division I college coaches in major sports. As such, since Graham doesn't meet any other criterion of WP:NHOCKEY (never played in the NHL or anything else that would qualify him, as far as I can tell) we have to look to WP:GNG, and I couldn't find anything non-routine. Smartyllama (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: That minor-league hockey should not be considered under the same rules and procedures as NCAA Division I basketball or football (I note, for instance, that no one made any comparison to the inherent notability of NCAA Division I lacrosse or track coaches, by way of example) is common sense of the sort that led to the wise decision to unbundle NATHLETE into discrete sports. Division I basketball and football are gigantic deals. Their matches are attended by tens of thousands of fans, broadcast over national networks, dominate regional media. Their coaches are media stars that, when they coach public universities, are often the highest paid public employees in their states. Probably no coaches generate as much press short of those from the top European soccer leagues. By contrast, the subject of this AfD doesn't even toil in the top minor league, and I doubt that any ECHL coach generates as many GNG-qualifying cites in an average season than the coach of Penn State or Alabama will generate this coming weekend. At his level, I'm willing to (charitably) concede presumptive notability for a Coach of the Year citation, and nothing short. Ravenswing 20:30, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Firstly, essay is a very weak ground for deletion. Secondly, the status of article authors is scarcely ever relevant (barring writing about themselves). So to this topic: a Google Scholar search finds some 70,000 papers on the exact topic. This year (2017) alone yields some 3,400 papers. The topic is notable. The article itself (as if this mattered) is in fact already reliably sourced, but notability depends on what is out there in the world, not what may happen to be in an article.

- Delete I do not see any significant coverage in reliable independent sources, so this fails WP:GNG. It has been commented that criterion 5 of WP:NMUSIC may be met by the 6 EP's released on Monstercat, after consideration I do not think this criteria is met. The Monstercat label is relatively close to being self-produced, not relevant industry releases. As none of the EP's charted of generated significant sales, I would say that they did not become relevant and therefore by extension have not contributed to the notability of this article.

The result was keep. Consensus to keep after improvements to the article. Whether a similar list which may contain redlinks should be created in a WikiProject subpage is out of this discussion (i.e. of course any editor may create such a list in project space to facilitiate article creation and improvement).

- Indeed. Of the people listed at List_of_historians_by_area_of_study#Military_history, not one of them is obviously female. This suggests that female military historians may be notable (in a colloquial sense rather than necessarily in terms of WP:GNG) simply for being female military historians. Zazpot (talk) 14:06, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep or move. As it stands, the article seems
not to pass WP:GNG, but with work it might do, andclose to meeting WP:LISTN, per Joe's comment below. I am OK with keeping it.
- Failing that, it is still likely to be of great use to Wikipedia efforts such as Women in Red and/or Gender gap task force, etc, and should be moved either to a sub-page of one of those WikiProjects, or to a sub-page of the user who created it, so that it can add value to Wikipedia without necessarily being in the article namespace. If at some point in the future it has been updated so as to pass WP:GNG and any other applicable policies, then at that point it could be moved back to the article namespace. Zazpot (talk) 14:15, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Comment. We have Category:Military historians, no Category:Female military historians at present. The category's existing subdivisions are by nationality and topic/war of study. List of military historians redirects to List of historians by area of study#Military history. postdlf (talk) 16:23, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Meets WP:LISTN in that the group has been the subject of significant coverage [14][15][16][17][18]. Women in traditionally male-dominated scholarly fields (i.e. all of them) are frequently notable, and we have many similar lists, e.g. List of women linguists, List of women classicists, List of women botanists. Based on some quick spot checks I think the majority of the entries could be blue-linked, so while better sourcing would be nice, it isn't strictly necessary. If kept it should be moved (back) to List of women military historians, because it's a list of people not lab specimens. – Joe (talk) 17:10, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Joe, I agree that "women" is more appropriate than "female": good point. About notability, I have little or no experience of WP:LISTN discussions. Is your claim that, "while better sourcing would be nice, it isn't strictly necessary", based upon WP:LISTN, or upon something else? I'm not asking because I disagree (I don't: I'm undecided at this moment) but only for clarity of understanding. Thanks :) Zazpot (talk) 17:19, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- My understanding is that there are two things we need sources for with lists: first to demonstrate that the list itself is on a notable topic per WP:LISTN, but these won't necessarily be mentioned in the article itself; second to support the inclusion of individual entries and verify any details. In my experience editors are usually happy for entries to appear on a list without a supporting citation if we have an article on that entry which backs up the information (presumably with citations). See List of archaeologists for example; only the red-linked entries have citations. – Joe (talk) 17:30, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Joe, ah OK, hence your remark about blue links. But if those are needed, then presumably the list as it stands is not yet ready for article space? Zazpot (talk) 17:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Despite the sources Joe pointed to, I don't think the subject is generally notable. The list of names overwhelmingly contain NN entries and is largely unsourced. I don't think it makes sense to keep this article at this stage in the game; if anything, this is a good WP:TNT opportunity for another editor to start over from scratch. There are too few NN entries to excuse a category, either. Wikipedia needs a list of woman historians before a list of women in the sub-field of military history.

- @Zazpot: I'm not opposed in principle to making it a WikiProject subpage but Wikipedia:Userfication doesn't support that. Perhaps the content could be moved into your userspace for development. Be advised, your ping did not work. You might check the box under preferences for the interface to warn you when a ping fails. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:17, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Chris troutman: thanks for the heads-up about the ping and the preference. No idea why it didn't work. Did it work this time?
- Puzzled by your saying, "Wikipedia:Userfication doesn't support that". Wikipedia:Userfication is just an essay. As we're the editors deciding what to do with the page, we can WP:IGNORE that essay, especially if we come up with a better outcome than the essay describes. IMO, moving the list into the namespace of an appropriate WikiProject is exactly such a case. Zazpot (talk) 05:06, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- We can WP:IGNORE anything, but I am be very uncomfortable with the idea of moving an article in the space of a project that has not expressed a desire for it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Zazpot: No, the ping did not work. I don't know why. Yes, it's just an essay but I think that essay enjoys pretty wide consensus and I prefer to stick with what this community agrees to do. Since you're invested in this list, I don't understand why you'd be opposed to moving into your userspace. I can see some editors agree with your suggestion and I won't fight consensus if it decides to move into WP-space; it's just a bit outside our norm. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:41, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

- Question for those suggesting a move to project or userspace: can you clarify what the purpose of such a move would be? If it's to provide a Women-in-Red-style "redlist" of articles for later creation, I'm not sure that would add much to the very long redlist at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Historians. It would also seem to implicitly accept that most of the people in this list are notable, in which case what is the rationale for removing it from mainspace? Or if the idea is to incubate it with a view to returning it to mainspace at a later date, why can't it be left in place and improved in the same way? – Joe (talk) 09:36, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Joe, I already did, but to clarify: the reason for moving it to a sub-page of e.g. WP:WOMRED would be to provide a place where interested editors could work on it, safe from deletion attempts, until it reaches the point where no reasonable editor would propose it for deletion even in the article namespace, at which point it would be moved back to the latter.Zazpot (talk) 12:50, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I just wasn't sure if others were !voting with you for the same reasons. As mentioned I do have something of a pet peeve about this logic, per WP:IMPERFECT: if an article is on a viable encyclopaedic topic and isn't irrecoverably crap, I don't see any reason why it can't stay in mainspace while it is improved. But I realise that since draftspace came along many editors have come to disagree with me on that (although WP:IMPERFECT is still a policy!) – Joe (talk) 13:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

- Comment. As suggested by Ipigott and others, I've trimmed the list down to only blue-linked or verifiably notable people. I've also added a lead section and some references, and removed the table. I wasn't particularly thorough in checking if those without articles were potentially notable, and I noticed that the names mentioned here as two of the most influential women historians (Joanna Bourke and Amanda Foreman) weren't actually on the list, which suggests to me there is definitely room for expansion. – Joe (talk) 10:35, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I am a new editor. But I came across this page yesterday after I added a link from a LeAnn Rimes album page. I then made a small change on this page. I was surprised to see this article as up for deletion when I went back to check my update. So I took it as an opportunity as a new editor to see if I could address the issue. It seems that there is a significant amount of supporting information specifically regarding the subject of the article's music production. I removed much of the promotional and hyperbolic tone of the article. I feel that the subject meets the criteria of notability.

The vast majority of them are music links for iTunes, etc. and the rest are either not independent of the subject or mere passing mentions in articles about some other artist or event. Neither WP:NMUSIC nor WP:GNG appears to have been met. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 02:39, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, A Traintalk 09:26, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Despite Eggishorn's assessment, the subject does, in fact, meet WP:NMUSIC. The criteria for musicians and ensembles says that having a single or album on a national music chart alone may meet notability criteria. As shown on the Billboard chart history (citation 17) the subject has 3 charted singles on the Billboard Dance Charts. For the most recent single release, Billboard wrote an article about the song, the artists, and the impressive debut on the Dance chart (citation 12). I would also challenge the assumed trivial nature of the subject's mention in Billboard articles. These articles are written about very prominent artists like Beyonce, LeAnn Rimes, Blondie, Ed Sheeran, and Madonna and their charting on the Dance charts. The entry for Dance Club Songs shows that remix producers and remix albums are a primary way artists achieve success in dance music. Naming the top remixers in this context, while brief, would hardly be considered trivial. I would also ask why the iTunes links were dismissed? These links show that this artist has been featured on commercially released remix albums for a number of prominent artists and on a number of major record labels.

- UCL Emperors American Football (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Very few British university sports teams are notable and this does not appear to be one of the exceptions. All references are connected to the subject with the possible exception of a blog post which appears to be related to one of its rivals. Google and other searches find nothing to demonstrate notability. Note that numerous similar articles were deleted back in 2009-10, e.g. Plymouth Blitz, Worcester Royals, and nothing of substance has changed since then in terms of profile of university-level American Football in the UK. Kahastok talk 22:12, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Outcome should be to keep: The UCL Emperors are currently heading into their 2nd BAFA season. They hold the most successful record of any rookie team there has been in the UK having reached the Division 2 National Finals for American Football; a feat no other rookie team has ever reached. This Wikipedia article serves the purpose of chronicling their rise and falls throughout history - as any article would relating to a sports team. It also chronicles tradition, players and coaches of note, and records of achievement. Having been officially founded in 2015, and only entering BUCS in 2016, the Emperors, under ideal circumstances, could have only become national champions by the end of the 2019 season. If we were not to write about them until 2019 we would lose out on the possibility of several years worth of information that would be key to the teams elevation within the national circuit. UCL is also one of the largest and most prolific universities in the UK with many notable sports programmes. Mfoxallsmith (talk) 10:39, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Unfortunately for this position, Wikipedia rules are that we should not be the only source for anything - we should only ever be restating what other sources have already said.
- Very few British university sports teams meet our standard - the Boat Race teams, those university cricket teams with first-class status, that sort of thing. Even BUCS champions generally don't enough to get the coverage needed to meet the standard, so even if we accept that this team will be potential champions in a few years this is insufficient.
- What we need if we are to keep is a demonstration that this club "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The meaning of this phrase is described in detail at WP:GNG. I contend that such coverage does not exist.
- Now, deletion does not mean you have to completely lose what's there. It can be emailed to you or probably moved to your user space if required. Per WP:LOSE, the fact that information would no longer be present on Wikipedia is not in and of itself a good reason not to delete. Kahastok talk 17:36, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - unlike in the US, university sport is almost wholly non-notable in the UK ("crowds" usually consist of a couple of dozen of the teams' friends, and even the most parochial local newspaper doesn't cover it), and this team seems to be no exception. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:11, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Does not meet notability guidelines(WP:BAND). The stated claim to notability is being in the top 6 of Pepsi Battle of the Bands, a music competition in Pakistan- but the notability guidelines state that one must be in the top three of a competition to merit an article. The sources given are all very brief mentions, either in relation to their TV appearance or not. The article states that they are working on their first album so that rules out the notability criteria related to a national tour or their album charting.

I am the original author, forgot I had made it back in the day and decided, based on a suggestion on its talk page that it seemed nearly ready for publication, to put it up. I understand the references are self published but its ACID brand of cigars are pretty popular, to the point that they even have a cigarillo version available at most gas stations (at least here in central Ohio.) It was my first attempt at a new article and not just edits and the information is all factual.

- Weak keep: Not sure what the threshold is for a cigar brand to be notable, and this article's creator needs a WP:TROUT for using a single self-pub source, but I'm finding additional sources that indicate notability, or at least that it's a legit company.

- Those sources aren't sufficient- the review is from what looks to be a self-published source, and the ad description from a supplier is exactly that- it'd be like claiming an Amazon listing is sufficient for notability.

Even if it is not a hoax, this article clearly fails WP:GNG and other relevant notability guidelines (especially WP:Verifiability). Everymorning (talk) 00:59, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

- Keep A "Green+parking+lot" Google Books search shows a lot of coverage of this topic in many books, and I believe that it is a discrete topic sufficiently different from the broad topic of "parking lot" that it deserves its own article, instead of being buried deep in another article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:03, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep
Merge to Parking lot. I only found one book specifically mentioning "Green parking lot" when doing the same google books search as Cullen328. Based on that and other book searches I agree with Northamerica1000 that there isn't enough there to have a stand-alone article. While other green technologies or adaptations of previous articles have been accepted like Green vehicle, Green building and Natural building, I believe it's simply WP:TOOSOON for this one. As the parking lot article does have a section on alternative paving materials I don't see why this section couldn't simply be expanded to list alternatives to pavement altogether or have additional section added mentioning ways in which some places are trying to make parking lots more "green". In the future if a new article is warranted a split can occur. In addition, I noted that the source cited for the Environmental Protection Agency refers to "Green parking lot" in the title, however even the table of contents lists the word "green" is in quotes before "parking lot". - Vanstrat (talk) 19:13, 11 October 2017 (UTC)- Upon looking again my searches were mistyped and Cullen328 was correct, there is more coverage than I initially found (not only in Google books but news searches in library databases came up with quite a bit). The article just needs work and links can be added from Parking lot. While I thought that the results would tend to show "a parking lot that is the colour green" as being the most recognised for the phrase "Green parking lot", that was not the case. - Vanstrat (talk) 23:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- ...and what sort of coverage did you see that suggested this should be separated from "Parking lot?" Anmccaff (talk) 23:39, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- The same google books search that I believe Cullen328 did, and I looked through several of the entries to see the level of detail. One of the library news searches can be seen here. I think there are enough sources and enough detail in them. - Vanstrat (talk) 00:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- There are also more than enough sources for "concrete parking lot", "Gravel parking lot", "asphalt parking lot", "temporary parking lot", "soil-cement parking lot,' &cet, &cet, ad. naus. Why should this be a separate article any more than those? Anmccaff (talk) 00:46, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Those are all routine and predictable variations of standard parking lots, Anmccaff. A parking lot that, for example, generates solar power, is a sufficiently discrete topic to support its own article.
- Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:05, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Every single technique mentioned in the Wiki article is, in fact, a
routine and predictable variations of standard
techniques, most of which have been used, often for environmental reasons -although perhaps not by that name - for over a century. Again, what justifies a separate article, especially considering what this one looked like until recently? Anmccaff (talk) 01:18, 12 October 2017 (UTC)- The same reason Brick building isn't a wikipedia article but Green building is. It's not always about the number of sources, it's about the content. As I said above: "I looked through several of the entries to see the level of detail". And as WP:N states: "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage". You can see the difference between the books that come back on a book search for "Gravel parking lot" and "Green parking lot". (And it's not about the current article. It needs work.) - Vanstrat (talk) 02:13, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- ...and yet, Frame building? The essential difference I see is that "green parking lots" are not a oddity, as "green building" still is, and all of the information relevant to "Green parking lots" should be...and indeed is in the main article, even if it could use some expansion there. This is just a POV fork, and, over most of its life, a coatrack. Anmccaff (talk) 17:33, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- ...and yet Green roof is also an article, an arguably good one at that. Blue roof even has it's own. With work this article can get better based on the sources available, and WP:N isn't a question anymore in my mind from what's out there. - Vanstrat (talk) 19:35, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- ...and when it does become a good article, we will have two nearly identical articles, covering almost exactly the same subjects; i.e., at least a WP:REDUNDANTFORK and likely a WP:POV Fork. This is good how, exactly? Anmccaff (talk) 19:45, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
- Based on the definitions given for those forks I don't see how they apply to this distinct subject. - Vanstrat (talk) 19:49, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

- Keep possibly rename to flatus. -
- Just because the title may be offensive to some does not alter the fact that this is legitimate article about a legitimate topic which has been legitimately studied by legitimate scientists in response to legitimate concerns by legitimate members of the public. (its totally legit) - I won't bother with the toliet humor, this is not the place.
- On a more serious note, this article is about the actual fart itself, that is, the cloud of gas. Obviously it can't be merged with flatulence, which is about the medical condition, and the human condition of actually creating a fart. (like how singing and song are separate). The fart once released is a physical object which deserves an article, as a highly relevant topic to everyone who hasn't managed to somehow avoid ever releasing a 'fart'.
- I am not adverse to this being renamed to something more scientific, I just went with the common term.
- Finally I will draw a comparison to Feces and Defecation, in this situation flatus and flatulence, one is about the object/thing emitted, one is about the process by which the human body emits it. Dysklyver 19:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect - to Flatulence. Half the sources don't even use those words in that order at all. The ones that do just happen to use those words in that order, and not discuss this in any way as if it is a distinct phenomenon from simply flatulence. We ought not be in the habit of making "adjective articles" unless they're treated in depth by the sources as a distinct topic. Just because you can do a google search for "tall horse" and get lots of hits doesn't mean that "tall horse" is a distinct topic from "horse", some of which happen to be tall. It just means that some people happened to use those words in that order in passing. GMGtalk 23:52, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete While I see the point that Dysklyver is stating, I see it a bit differently. Shit and Fuck have their own articles which talk about the words themselves, the fact that they are vulgar and the use of the words. Shit contains a hatnote directing to defecation for the act itself and defecation is not discussed in "Shit". The problem with Smelly fart is that it's claiming in the hatnote and top section to be about the phrase itself... but then goes on to talk about the act of farting itself, referring to it as flatulence which is already an existing article. As far as I can see the respected term for "farting" is actually "flatulating" (like the respected term for "shitting" is defecation). I don't see "flatulating" and "flatulence" as warranting separate articles. I'd say that this article could be merged with Flatulence to add info regarding the act of flatulating that isn't there already... but there simply is not enough useful information here to warrant it. "Flatus" is the gas itself, "flatulence" is the act of generating it, and "flatulating" is the act of expelling it. These can be discussed in the same article as "flatus" and "flatulence" already are. If fart isn't "vulgar enough" to have it's own article about the word itself, like Shit and Fuck, then "Smelly fart" definitely can't. - Vanstrat (talk) 22:01, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Way to soon. I can see no difference with the rationales presented for deleting the 2020 season article. No specific content for 2019 has been published (e.g. new tracks or new driver contracts starting in 2019). This is just as much listing the multiple year contracts signed for an earlier season as the 2020 article is. Tvx1 12:13, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: there is a significant difference between the 2018 and 2019 articles—namely that five of the top six drivers (Ricciardo, Verstappen, Räikkönen, Bottas and Hamilton) are out of contract at the end of 2018 and it has been public knowledge that some of the top teams have been sounding out those drivers. On top of that, Carlos Sainz's one-year deal with Renault will expire, and Red Bull do not have an engine deal in place beyond 2018. The encyclopaedic value of the article is not so much in what is confirmed, but in what is unresolved (as opposed to there being no information available). A lot of the critical analysis I have seen (such as this) supports this. We have a section in the list of races that notes which events are contracted for 2018 but not for 2019, so I think a section on drivers and teams who are free agents in 2019 (for want of a better term) is not only justified, but adds to the article.

- Comment: I have updated the article with details of drivers out of contract. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 13:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- So you are genuinely suggesting now that we create and keep an article because of an "important" lack of verifiable information?? That's the most ridiculous argument I have ever read. What is so special about this situation? A Mercedes and Ferrari spot being possibly available isn't even unique for 2019. Bottas and Räikkönen had one-year contracts for 2017 as well, so that situation exist for the 2018 season as well. In fact, prior to Vettel extending his contract this summer, no 2018 Ferrari spot was filled. And that article wasn't created until December when some new 2018 information was published (the return of the French GP). We should create this article when new 2019 driver and/or race contracts are being announced. At this moment there is no difference between the 2019 and the 2020 articles. Both exist solely to tabulate the remain years on multiple-year contracts. Information which is easily conveyed in the individual articles. The last time the 2018 article was deleted, you supported the deletion and stated that a season article should only be created up to eighteen months in advance if significant new information about is known. Well, I don't see any significant new information for 2019 yet. So you should practice what you preach. And by the way, Verstappen's contract is NOT running out at the end of 2018.Tvx1 16:09, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: First of all, it is not a lack of verifiable information. We can verify that those drivers' contracts expire at the end of 2018 and thus there is currently a change for 2019. To claim so otherwise is to misrepresent the situation. Furthermore, removing reliable, well-sourced content to strengthen the case for an AfD is pretty under-handed. Secondly, why am I obligated to support this deletion simply because I supported a previous one? Why am I not allowed to change my mind? Why am I not allowed to assess each individual AfD on its merits and make a decision accordingly? Finally, in your AfD for the 2020 article, you said "One article on the upcoming season is already quite a task to manage. Two is already over the limit." which sounds a lot like WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

- Comment: I have updated the article with details of drivers out of contract. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 13:30, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- How quaint. Just as you claim I don't like it, your position can summarized as WP:ILIKEIT. Your just perceiving the number of out of contract drivers as being "sensational" when in fact is just something that happens nearly every year. Prior to this summer Vettel, Räikkönen, Bottas, Pérez, Vandoorne, Alonso, Palmer, Massa, Stroll, Ericsson, Wehrlein and Kvyat were all without contracts. The 2019 situation is hardly unique as you can see. And if that wasn't enough you're requesting to keep this based on your speculation that there will be a "similarly sensational" set of driver changes will take place, while for all I know they (or at least most of them) might just stay put. The 2018 article was deleted in late august 2018 for the exact same reasons as everyone (including you) wants the 2020 article deleted and this one was nominated. There is no significant new 2019 information known yet and therefore I cannot see how the many delete rationales presented in the 2020 AFD'd don't apply here. And just because content is well sourced it isn't automatically relevant to the subject. That's why I removed. I'd say that inventing new, never before used tables in a misguided attempt to keep this article is much more of an underhand tactic.Tvx1 09:27, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep We usually create season articles about ~18 months in advance, and this is 18 months beforehand. Also per Prisonermonkeys the uncertainty of many drivers is in itself notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:20, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Keep as this is exactly the same case as for the 2020 season article. Similarly there is no apparent policy-based reason for not keeping the article, and that is what is required for a deletion request to succeed. WP:TOOSOON has been mentioned, but that is an essay relying on this policy-based statement: "Generally speaking, the various notability criteria that guide editors in creating articles, require that the topic being considered be itself verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources." As it is clear that this article satisfies the policy on notability, specifically from WP:GNG that it has gained sufficient coverage in reliable sources, then there is no apparent justification for deletion. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:26, 29 September 2017 (UTC)- Yet there is no evidence of this significant coverage in reliable sources. As of yet, no new driver contract, new race contract or rule change for the 2019 championship had been announced. A passing mention of the year in an article discusding a driver or a team or a different season is not the same as significant coverage. In fact, when you click on the find sources button on top of this AFD. Barely 8 links are produced, none of which contain any meaningful information about the 2019 championship. So if you want your policy or guideline that is failed here, it's WP:Notability. Judging by your ridiculous claim there is significant coverage of this subject, it's safe to say that you did not bother to do even a quick search for sources before leaving your comment here.Tvx1 10:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- There are currently 25 reliable sources used to support the driver and Grand Prix data in the article. And the search mentioned (even though it only looks for exact matches on on the complete article title, and not for other aspects of the 2019 season) turns up 8 hits. So clearly, the event is already notable per WP:GNG. -- DeFacto (talk). 11:08, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- None of these 25 uses reliable sources contains significant coverage of new information relating to the 2019 season. They just mention multiple-year contracts which are extrapolated to be also valid for this article. As I have explained before, passing mentions do not have any value in determining notability. And as I have also previously explained before, those 8 search hits do NOT contain any meaningful information about the 2019 championship. I'm beginning to think you do not understand our notability guidelines. There is literally no source right now which covers anything significant new thing for the 2019 championship.Tvx1 12:02, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- WP:GNG defines significant coverage as coverage that addresses "the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." There is no requirement for the article to cover any "significant new thing". The 25 reliable sources used certainly provide significant coverage addressing the topic directly without needing original research and add up to provide the necessary significant coverage. -- DeFacto (talk). 16:40, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, I've changed my mind following the deletion of the 2020 article that significant coverage per WP:GNG does not mean a passing mention in 25 sources, but detailed coverage in each of a few sources, and this article does not conform to that. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:58, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

And as I have also previously explained before, those 8 search hits do NOT contain any meaningful information about the 2019 championship. I'm beginning to think you do not understand our notability guidelines. There is literally no source right now which covers anything significant new thing for the 2019 championship.Tvx1 12:02, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- There are currently 25 reliable sources used to support the driver and Grand Prix data in the article. And the search mentioned (even though it only looks for exact matches on on the complete article title, and not for other aspects of the 2019 season) turns up 8 hits. So clearly, the event is already notable per WP:GNG. -- DeFacto (talk). 11:08, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yet there is no evidence of this significant coverage in reliable sources. As of yet, no new driver contract, new race contract or rule change for the 2019 championship had been announced. A passing mention of the year in an article discusding a driver or a team or a different season is not the same as significant coverage. In fact, when you click on the find sources button on top of this AFD. Barely 8 links are produced, none of which contain any meaningful information about the 2019 championship. So if you want your policy or guideline that is failed here, it's WP:Notability. Judging by your ridiculous claim there is significant coverage of this subject, it's safe to say that you did not bother to do even a quick search for sources before leaving your comment here.Tvx1 10:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
Note: there is an almost identical AfD being discussed here for the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship. -- DeFacto (talk). 09:49, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: the outcome of one AfD should not affect the outcome of another. Reading the comments of both AfDs, it is clear (so far) that the community thinks it is WP:TOOSOON for the 2020 article, but not for 2019. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:38, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- It's a bit early to judge the "community"'s opinion just not even 24 hours after this AFD was launched, don't you think. There is a reason AFD's have a minimum running time of 7 days, you know.Tvx1 12:02, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - We have had season articles about this event since 1950, and as long as there is some unique content to include, which there is, there seems no reason to delete this specifically because it has been created a bit early. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:25, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- And what unique content would you be talking about??Tvx1 20:58, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - In the grand scheme of things the 2019 season is not actually that far away, I personally don't think it can qualify as WP:TOOSOON as contracts and signings will be planned months and years in advance. Deleting the article at this point would be pointless as by the beginning of 2018 there will already be news coming for plans for the 2019 season.Theprussian (talk) 16:00, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- Yet the information doesn't exist now. And the reality is that new 2019 contracts are most likely only to be signed twelve months from now. Right now they are singing up for 2018, not 2019. In fact right now, this article doesn't even pass the WP:GNG. It can always be moved to a draft and be republished as an article when specific information for 2019 becomes available.Tvx1 16:26, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - it's the season after next, which is not TOOSOON to have the article. There are drivers that have contracts for 2019 already. Mjroots (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep – I am an editor from huwiki, I only have a few edits here on enwiki but I am one of the main contributors to F1 articles in huwiki. I am also the one who started the brother page of the 2019 season in Hungarian at the end of September. Why do I think it should be kept? The article is already started. It is (or will be in a few months) without doubt notable, I think we can all agree on that. So if it is already started, why bother deleting it, just to create it like 3 months later again? It does not take up space or anything. There are millions of pages on enwiki, it does no harm if this one sole page stays here for 2-3 more months with this "little" content. When 2018 starts, new contracts will be announced for 2019, tracks and race calendar will be confirmed, new regulations will be announced. Also, if you think this article is too soon, what about 2030 FIFA World Cup? This article will slowly get into focus, and already has verifiable information, like 2 contracted top-drivers, or tracks who are already under contract. It just does not make sense to delete it. It is also easier to add pieces of confirmed information one by one to an existing article then to collect all of them like a year later. People might already be interested in 2019, they come here and see the drivers who are already contracted, the tracks, the new rules and so on. If you delete it, it is only a matter of time than you have to make it again. Then why bother? --XXLVenom999 (talk) 18:06, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Just redid the article with 9 references including many newspapers. Clearly a major conglomerate company of Pakistan with a lot of news coverage. It was just a 'neglected' article.Ngrewal1 (talk) 21:01, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I've checked the 9 references added to the article. Normally Forbes is a poor source for references but in this case there at first glance, appears to be a substantial independent article that meets the criteria for establishing notability. The first problem is that the article mostly concerns the activities of Saif Energy and not the holding company, Saif Group (the subject of this topic), although later on in the article the contributor switches to talk about Saif Group. The second problem is that halfway through the article, we start to see quotations from Javed Khan, an officer of the company. That would call into question the intellectual independence of the article and I would say it fails the criteria (WP:ORGIND) on that basis. The reference from nation.com.pk fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is a mere mention in passing and has no indepth details. the pakistan-stocks.blogspot.ie reference fails for many reasons - it is a blog and therefore not a reliable source, but it is also a normal business listing and fails WP:CORPDEPTH too. Similarly, the pagespak.com reference fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is a mere listing. The brecorder.com reference fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND as it is based on a company announcement and is not intellectually independent. The following three references fail as they are from the saifgroup website and therefore are a PRIMARY source. The dawn.com reference is an obituary for the "patron of Saif Group" and fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is a mere mention-in-passing. Finally, the pakistantoday.com reference fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is also a mention in passing. I'd be happy to reconsider my !vote if two references that meet the criteria for establishing notability can be found. -- HighKing++ 14:59, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Starting small on this one, but it does seem to be part of a fairly sizable collection of associated articles. I'm not at all even able to establish that the parent article about the awards in general is notable. Most or all of the articles on the individuals who were supposed to win these things fail to mention the award entirely.
I found passing mention about how this is a minor award and not very important, and plenty of passing mentions like this because they were talking about something else entirely, but nothing whatsoever to suggest that this is a notable award, and definitely not to suggest that we should have the giant mound of unsourced content about living persons that this sub-article is.

Relisting comment: Lack of participation.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L3X1 (distænt write) 02:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- cough cough Apparently the bad blood over relisting is was shed earlier today so here's my 2¢. If it wasn't PROD'd (which I believe is a useless dangerous process that shoulb be eliminate from the Wikipedia diet) and no one came and !voted, then relist it. Now I know relisting something you !voted in isn't great practice, but I endorse deletion for this one per nom. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:12, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- I won't revert twice, but, the instructions at WP:NOQUORUM are pretty clear;
If a nomination has received few or no comments from any editor with no one opposing deletion, and the article hasn't been declined for proposed deletion in the past, the closing administrator should treat the XfD nomination as an expired PROD
. A relist should also be completed by an administrator if they feel the nomination is controversial, which, coincidentally, is a thing non-admins are told not to do;Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins
. This would be preferred to wasting another week to receive no new comments. I have no idea what bad blood you're referring to? all I did was revert because it was improper and this was on my watchlist in case new developments came up. I didn't feel I had anything to add.

- I won't revert twice, but, the instructions at WP:NOQUORUM are pretty clear;
- Delete per the nominating rationale and in the hope that there won't be a third week of this. I had done a google and google books search for the peak at the time of the nomination and found only the smallest references to it possible; primarily "listsofjohn" and maybe this reference to a nameless peak at 3025ft. The only thing to note, is that the unnofficial name, alluded to but not stated in the article, for the mountain is Seth Warner Mountain and I found even less about the mountain searching for that.

- Killing of Patrick Harmon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
WP:NOTNEWS. Does not appear to be any significant coverage of this. Further, his name was Patrick Harmon not Harman. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 02:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Subject of article meets WP:GNG: it has been covered in full-length pieces at The Guardian, Newsweek, The Salt Lake Tribune, KUTV, the Daily Mirror, and Deseret News (all cited in the article), and perhaps elsewhere. Article is a stub, so WP:DONOTDEMOLISH applies. The misspelling of Harmon's name has already been corrected. As for the allegation of WP:NOTNEWS, none of that policy's four criteria disqualify the article:
- Original reporting. Does not apply, because the article is not written as a primary source. Rather, the article cites other sources for each claim made, per WP:VERIFIABILITY.
- News reports. Does not apply, because article is not about "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities". Nor is the article "written in news style".
- Who's who. Article is exactly in keeping with the stipulation here that "Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event".
- A diary. Clearly not applicable to the article.
- Ergo, keep. Please WP:PING me if you reply. Thanks! zazpot (talk) 02:34, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Zazpot: What makes this more notable than any other police shooting? I am not seeing anything. It is only notable in the context of police shootings- nothing makes this different. Nothing calls him by name, it's just "cop shoots fleeing black", "shots fired in downtown slc" , protestors demand to see footage, footage shows..kills black man. None of that is anything more than routine news coverage. Unless you support creating an article for every person ever killed by the police, which might be a substantial task. And it was only fixed because I pointed it out, so don't say 'already.' ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 05:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean. @El cid, el campeador: "What makes this more notable than any other police shooting?" Sorry, but this question doesn't make sense to me. I don't think anyone is claiming that this is the most notable police shooting the world has ever seen, just that it meets WP:GNG and doesn't breach WP:NOTNEWS. About, "it's just 'cop shoots fleeing black'". Ugh, how can you say "just" in a sentence like that? This makes me really sad :( Finally, about the spelling, I was only pointing out that it was already fixed by the time I replied here on the AfD thread.

I can declare that seems the author of article opt wrong jagged way and( not a appropriate way) to introduce the profession of his work & activities and that why it became more baffled and we can't accuse him for some slip up mistake.

The kid has alot done given his age I believe so that I guess is goo enough for Wikipedia:Notability (people) given that his linkedin seems legit and googling his name throws lots of news about his winnings in some programming competitions and his startup ezSec indeed seems legit as it was refrenced on the innovation facotory website, which is related to McMaster Innovation Park, the same startup ezsec seems to be listed on the forge, the mcmaster university accelerator, linked to Ontario Centre of Excellence. The guy seems like he is a little smart man and indeed his refrences are solid and can't catch any talk but no walks on his page.

This fails WP:COMPANY. The Google news link actually gives only routine coverage. G11 was overturned in June. Previously kept in 2009, but that was due to reasons that need to be re-examined. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 00:06, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

- Weak keep - although some of the sources referenced are indeed just passing references, a look at the last two sources (nos 5 and 6) seem to be more than just passing references. Seeing as a previous AFD in 2009 resulted in a keep vote, I'd be very surprised if things have changed enough to warrant the deletion of the article.

- Strong Keep FIITJEE is one of the most well known coaching institutes for Engineering entrance exams in India. It is not one single institute but rather a chain of institutes. Their branches are present in every single Indian city and is a household name among most Indian families.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:06, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
- Adding on to my vote, FIITJEE has been in news multiple times. [35], [36], [37], [38] are some of the most recent ones.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:11, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
