Copies information already found at South Island and other pages; appears to be nothing but a list of links. I can't see any CSD category that fits this. Article creator seems to be, in good faith, creating articles and uploading files relating to a fictitious country of "Zealandia", which is comprised of South Island.

The subject does not appear to be notable; no relevant News, Scholar, or Books hits. Now, there may be other uses for the term "Collateral Grade." If someone wants to make pages for those and turn this one into a disambiguation, feel free. But this particular definition is not notable. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure as to the purpose of this article. It doesn't seem like an encyclopedic page on its own; at most, it looks to me like name-dropping, most of which (about an half) gives no context, and the rest gives no sources. I don't think the list could be accomodated in the New Deal article either, as it would break the flow of text/prose. Therefore, I suggest that the article should be deleted: not because of its content, but because it's not really a good concept for a Wikipedia article.

Entirely non-notable rankings system, and I'm at a loss to understand how this survived its previous nomination. Zero google news hits and web hits that consist solely of press releases indicate clearly that the wider world and especially the golfing press pays it no notice whatsoever. There must be coverage in reliable sources to establish notability, and in this case that is evidently not possible. wjematherbigissue 21:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Definition from Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Entry: en·cy·clo·pe·dia Pronunciation: \in-ˌsī-klə-ˈpē-dē-ə\ Function: noun Etymology: Medieval Latin encyclopaedia course of general education, from Greek enkyklios + paideia education, child rearing, from paid-, pais child — more at few Date:1644 - - - Definition: a work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or treats comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge usually in articles arranged alphabetically often by subject. Wikipedia is an "encyclopedia", as it says so right in the name noted in the logo in the top left hand corner of this page. Encyclopedias are not based on popularity, they are collections of information on topics and subjects that many people don't know about. This is "fundamental", as why would anyone regularly use an "encyclopedia" to research information they already know?? Encyclopedias are meant to provide unknown knowledge, and if people who attempt to contribute here are not interested in maintaining this fundamental theme, then perhaps they should go edit another project.

As you have stated as "a matter of fact" that I am using Wikipedia to "promote my wares" in some sinister way, is OFFENSIVE and should be deleted. That is simply NOT true! The World Golf Index is a FREE website and sells nothing. This article on Wikipedia is a simple statement of fact of what the World Golf Index is. There are many golf organizations and tour players that use this information, and with many direct links. Accordingly, any assumption you have made here on what establishes some level of popularity is merely your opinion. Further, Wikipedia WP:N has NO criteria for "hits", and clearly allows for "merit". (WP:N) "Article topics are required to be notable, or "worthy of notice". It is important to note that topic notability on Wikipedia is not necessarily dependent on things like fame, importance, or the popularity of a topic—although those may contribute." This article is "worthy of notice" and is in absolute compliance with WP:N and Wikipedia policy.

The obvious fact that someone else may be able to publish something, is "not" criteria for deleting this article. (Publisher: World Golf Index) Wgiwiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.90.100 (talk) 08:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding copyright, you are being unnecessarily defensive - my analogy didn't call for an exact copy of your system. I assume yours works by inputting golf tournament results into a formula; so another person could use a different formula to obtain different rankings. So long as they don't impede on your status - by advertising themselves as "the only complete ranking system" in ignorance of your own one, for example - they don't infringe copyright. Regarding searching for sources, no I did not look further than a search engine. Are you then implying that there are independent sources available, and that I didn't look hard enough to find them? If so, great! Provide them here, we can reference the article to them and WP:N will be restored. If not, I fail to see your point - we will still have no evidence that such sources exist, which is the crux of the argument. Finally, regarding WP:COI - I apologise, you are correct that you are not "violating" the terms. Please remember however, that you are still advised by WP:COI to exercise caution when editing or discussing an article in which you have interests. EJBH (talk) 15:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Your cynical comments are not appreciated, as we may not be the only ones reading this. Please clarify what is meant by "pet project", so that others may have a better understanding of your argument. WP is not a place for users who are willing to make comments without doing proper research. (Publisher: World Golf Index) Wgiwiki
As has been explained repeatedly, WP:N requires that there be independent reliable media sources, for any article subject to be deemed notable. This article does not have them. The WP:N guidelines are not ideas which can be flouted whenever one wishes, as you seem to believe. They are called "guidelines" so that there is flexibility, and articles which are borderline notable can be given some leeway. Unfortunately this article fails on every measure, and so is presently not even close to borderline. That is the only interpretation of the guidelines given on this page - yourself and the other proponent of the article have been vocal in your defence of it, but you have yet to explain your views with actual reference to what the guidelines require. And also, I remind you that WP discussion pages are different to WP encyclopedia pages. On the encyclopedia pages research is proper research is required, but it isn't necessary on the discussion pages, although it may help to bolster an argument. EJBH (talk) 15:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Response: The "notability guidelines" are not rules or laws for you to enforce, they are "guidelines", and your interpretation of how they should be applied, is your opinion. Respectfully, there are other conflicting opinions posted here, and accordingly, this article should be kept.(Publisher: World Golf Index) Wgiwiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.90.100 (talk) 09:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Response: Assuming that "your" is directed at me, you "blocking" someone is not retroactive, and therefore the comments and opinion still stand here because the user was not blocked when they were made. I question your tone, and some of the comments made here by you and the other user. While you purport to instruct others to be respectful, you behave like this a competition and that you are winning. Someone started Wikipedia with a vision and it has become a good thing for the internet and other people, because it provides facts and knowledge. That's the point, and that's who wins. Not you, not me, or the other person. And I appreciate the fact that you contribute here (WP) and obviously more than I do, and I appreciate the on going need to validate content here by a "consensus" of criteria, because of potential abusers, and which is the point of these "Articles". What I have done here is posted a few lines of fact in an encyclopedia in case someone else might want to know that, and I did so with honorable intention, and I stand by that. But what is not helpful is making demeaning comments about the topic when the focus should be on the consensus of criteria. And I suppose the demeaning tone may be mostly without intent, but in this case it just stings a bit because the topic also happens to be my property. So now something I propose for you to consider here: as "guidelines" are meant to be interpreted by a consensus, does leaving this "topic" (article) harm Wikipedia (it has been here for a long time), or would it have value, or more weight as a contribution? Lastly, it actually is funny that the user got blocked. (Publisher: World Golf Index) Wgiwiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.90.100 (talk) 10:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Response: You may suggest whatever you like, but that doesn't mean I should do anything, or accept anything. It seems beyond your scope to grasp my position and perspective. This is my property and because this forum is publicly accessible, even the comment "non-notable" may be construed as defamatory and libelous. This is my biggest concern with this process, and which seems to be a contingent of Wikipedia. In other words, if I would have known that at the time when initially posting information about my property on Wikipedia, that it would provide a public forum for people to post egotistical and immature comments about my property, well then I would have not posted it. Accordingly, I am permanently ending this discussion. Please refer to my final comment below. (Publisher: World Golf Index) Wgiwiki
Notice: "Without Prejudice" (This is NOT a threat of legal action) This message is for Wikipedia administration and the history of this article. I am the trademark and copyright owner of the World Golf Index, and effective immediately, in the interest of protecting my property, I "do not" want my property associated with Wikipedia, its discussions and forums, in any method or manner, any longer. There have been too many negative and "potentially libelous" comments made about my property, and until information about my property can exist on Wikipedia peacefully, and without "risk of damage", I want all pertinent information permanently removed, and not accessible to the public. I trust that the administration of this website will post a proper deletion page and remove all that I do not have access to.

A person who knew a famous person, and is only known for one event, that is, recent, unfounded speculation that he is Michael Jackson's son, despite the fact that this speculation is rejected as a pure fabrication/nonsense by both himself and his family('Michael Jackson was not my father,' says man at centre of lovechild rumours), and that everybody can see he's not the son of a black person. Relevant policy: WP:ONEEVENT plus large invasion of privacy (both of his parents are alive and there is no question over his parentage - the claim is based on completely unfounded speculation that Jackson had a one-night stand with his mother three years after he was born (sic!)[12].). I haven't found any articles about him not related to his relationship with Jackson/the recent gossip, that could establish independent notability. Note that not even Jackson's acknowledged "kids" have their own articles (they were previously deleted). Being an aspiring rapper (not known as a rapper) doesn't make him notable either.

It is the equivalent of List of DVDs available through Netflix/List of TV shows available through the iTunes store. Or List of x available through y, replace x with a type of product, and y with a service name. Basically for the same reason the category was deleted in 2008.

I have nominated this article for deletion becuase it lacks any verifiable sources referencing the term "empirical statistical laws". Without sources, on the surface the term is self-contradicting; regression to the mean and so forth follow formally, they are not empirical laws. There is nothing to indicate the term is sufficiently prominent to warrant an entry. However, if there is a source that establishes prominence and justification for the term, it should be checked before deletion. Holon (talk) 12:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
