Barobax

An attempt was made to nominate this article for deletion on the 9th by substituting the template directly onto the log. I reverted that and am completing a proper nomination. The original nomination rationale was "deleted before, the article assert some notability on Google mostly for a music video , not enough to meet WP:Music , no professional reviews" and the nominator is User:Spada2.

Objection: Barobax is an underground Iranian band. How can there be professional reviews for a band that is banned in its home country? The notability of this underground band is demonstrated by the fact that their music sells on both iTunes and Amazon, and that they have produced professional videos despite censorship in Iran. The phenomenon of underground Iranian music is very noteworthy and if you delete this page then you'll be doing the Iranian censors a favor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emahyar (talk • contribs) 16:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I know about the situation in Iran but there are lots of high quality articles about Iranian musicians here plz remember that Wikipedia is not Facebook or Mysapce, plz read WP:Music, the article has been deleted before.

Keep. Sources exist to assert notability and 1,060,000 results in Google. Maashatra11 (talk) 18:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as I said in my concerns, most G hits refer to a music video and download sites.not enough to meet WP:Music. if the band is that notable one should be able to find it in reliable sources too. from the other hand "barobax" is a slang form for "guys" in Persian, maybe some g hits refer to that. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 07:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've added reliable references: a very popular Iranian magazine, BBC, and ARTE. This is a work in progress, I have more to read and to add to the page as I go along. But these three sources speak to the notability this band has had for a number of years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emahyar (talk • contribs) 00:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The purpose of adding this band to Wikipedia is spread knowledge about notable cultural phenomenon: namely underground Iranian music. Underground Iranian music is not well known by any means and the purpose of Wikipedia is to spread knowledge. Iranian musicians with high quality articles are mostly ones living in the West. This article, especially with the reliable secondary sources, is a start and more will be added as time goes by. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emahyar (talk • contribs) 00:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a freelance journalist which does not meet notability. He is certainly a published joournalist. However trying to find significant coverage about him turns up not much. I found this. His coffee table book was excerpted in the NY Times. That's notu enough to establish notability for me, but this far from a clear cut case so bringin this to AFD for more eyes.

Delete. Has not had substantial coverage from multiple independent sources. Simply authoring a large quantity of stuff is not criteria for inclusion. SPA issues. Christopher Connor (talk) 17:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question What sort of multiple independent sources do you expect a newspaper columnist and author to have?

Lindsey Cardinale

AfDs for this article:

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

American Idol also-ran. Almost no sources, no notability per WP:MUSIC. Contains speculation/OR such as "In late 2007, it was announced that Lindsey had signed with Aria Records Nashville. Her name has since been removed from their website and it appears that Aria Records has released Cardinale from her contract." (As an aside, Aria Records has not proven notable enough for an article.) A search for sources turned up only information dating from her time on American Idol, absolutely nothing after the fact. She appeared on a Christmas album compilation which is also up at AFD for lack of notability. Last AFD was closed as speedy keep due to disruption.

Keep Passes WP:MUSIC #4 #1 and #9. Aspects (talk) 06:56, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to badger but I'm not seeing that she meets 4 or 9. I only see "occasional Idol-related performances" with only one show referenced and she came in 12th on Idol, not what I would consider placing. Her biggest non-Idol accomplishment is that she was a spokesperson for a local auto dealer? one non-charting single? I could go for Merge to American Idol (season 4) but anything else would be far too generous. J04n(talk page) 01:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I do not know what I was thinking, I meant to put #1 with the newly found sources by Paul Erik. I do consider being a finalist on American Idol as placing in a major music competition. Aspects (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

American Idol is a local TV show? I think the coverage is enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1, although just barely. There are a couple of newspaper articles that are about her specifically. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm unconvinced there's enough coverage to pass GNG, even if they are a finalist. If they are and they're notable then there should be substantial coverage elsewhere too. Shadowjams (talk) 09:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Celebrity is not notability, American Idol finalist or not.Mtiffany71 (talk) 19:21, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In response to the last two, we're not dealing with WP:GNG here. We're dealing with WP:MUSICBIO, where an Idol finalist meets #9 and maybe #12. Also the WikiProject (WP:IDOL) appears to have dealt with this issue time and time again, and looking through the history of various AFDs, I see broad precedent for the creation of articles on finalists. Tarc (talk) 21:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

American Idol is an elimination competition. There's no "2nd place." There's one winner, and everyone else loses. No one places, ergo #9 does not apply. And that she appeared on the series does not make her the subject of the series, ergo #12 does not apply.Mtiffany71 (talk) 00:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree with above comments, by Mtiffany71 (talk · contribs), J04n (talk · contribs), and TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs). She got 12th place, that's nice. But there does not really seem to be enough there in terms of significant coverage. Subject fails WP:NOTE. -- Cirt (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to reiterate what I said in the deletion review I was unsure how to respond to others' comments here, because others are not stating what is insufficient about the sources I added. Multiple reliable sources discuss the subject, some of the articles discuss her exclusively—that usually is enough for WP:NOTE, is it not? Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly meets WP:N given the sources added by Paul Erik. I'm curious why those who feel she fails WP:N believe that when there are three sources that cover her in depth. Hobit (talk) 22:57, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 12th place is not notable enough, not made a celebrity. Losing finalists who lost their fame after American Idol. Well, the show is a signing competition, not a local event. ApprenticeFan ^work 02:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment: When I first !voted on this AfD it was unreferenced. I now went back and have decided not to change my !vote. Other than finishing 12th on American Idol Ms Cardinale has twice performed at Ponchatoula's Strawberry Festival, become the spokesperson for the Bill Hood Automotive Family in Southern Louisiana, switched her major to journalism, released a single that did not chart, and signed with a label and produced no albums in 3 years. Is there coverage? Apparently yes. Of anything notable? I'm not seeing it. This page should be redirected to American Idol (season 4). J04n(talk page) 09:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage of something which you consider notable isn't required, just coverage. Otherwise, were I in charge, we'd have no articles on porn stars or any but the most notable athletes. We've agreed on WP:N as a way of judging notability. Yes, there can be exceptions to it (it's a guideline after all) but if you really want to replace WP:N with "I do or don't personally think this is notable" that's a pretty big step and I'd ask that you reconsider it. Hobit (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If that were the case every highschool quarterback would be notable. I'm sorry but coverage of her appearances in a strawberry festival are not going to convince me that she is a notable subject. Spirit of the law should not be trumped by letter of the law.J04n(talk page) 13:42, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Significant coverage in 3 states is unlikely in a HS quarterback and is a darn good sign of notability. Heck, honestly coverage of a HS quarterback in any detail is rare these days. I've not seen any such coverage in our local paper in the last 10 years. To see multiple RSes providing non-trivial coverage of a HS Quarterback would actually be a pretty good indication of notability. Hobit (talk) 15:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The article needs some work, particularly in the opening paragraph where notability is supposed to be indicated (should mention her modelling, spokesperson and recording deal), but the sources and content in the rest of the article indicates that the subject is somewhat notable. Freakshownerd (talk) 14:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article just does not tell us why she is important, as nice a person as she seems to be. Also, press coverage gives us permission to have an article on someone -- but it does not compel us to have one if there is nothing important for people to know about the person. Also if 1,000 years from now, when there will have been hundreds of Idol-like shows, is WP going to have an article on every finalist? That could be millions of people.Borock (talk) 04:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Athletics at the 2010 South American Games. There are several incidents of individual sports events being broken out into standalone articles, though sometimes, as with this one, there is little sense of the benefit gained, especially when the sub-article mainly repeats the information contained in the parent article. Such practise is contrary to guidelines - see WP:Sports event and WP:AVOIDSPLIT as well as the spirit of WP:Not, WP:MERGE and WP:Stub which indicates that articles which do not have obvious potential to grow are probably best not being created, or if they are created then they should be merged. If there were a gain of material, then splitting is appropriate, but splitting simply to duplicate the material into a new place is not helpful. There are some items of information contained in this article which can be easily incorporated in the parent article (the finishing times), but mostly it is repetition. I would support anyone going through Category:Athletics at the 2010 South American Games and merging where appropriate. SilkTork *^YES! 16:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

There are a whole string of articles based on one this set of games. There is not much notable about the specific event itself, and it surely belongs as part of the main article, where the bulk of the detail currently exists. This seems to be contrary to WP:Encyclopaedic and is something more akin to a specific sports or athletic site. billinghurst sDrewth 02:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that these individual events are like the individual dates issues, and not notable as individual events, instead as the collection. I would support them being moved to the Portal namespace and then organising them as subpages, allowing the article on the 2010 South American Games to act as the encyclopaedic article. With regard to the Olympic Games, Commonwealth games etc. I would believe that the bulk of the articles fall into the same category, and that there may be an article or two that is notable within each games that could stand as an notable article itself. billinghurst sDrewth 23:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a non-notable local residents association. Its stated rationale for notability, that it has "unusually, elected councillors at all three levels of local government" is not that unusual at all. In many rural locations throughout the UK residents associations and parish councils tend to have all local government representatives sitting on them. -- role^player 10:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Current Affairs (Event Planning and Production Company)

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

Contested proposed deletion, not mine. This is an essentially advertising article about an event planning business that fails to establish significance. While it apparently has references, they all appear to be puff pieces in minor trade publications with local or limited readership. There's no indication that this business "has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." And while the fact that The company has a staff of 10 may not in itself establish non-notability, the article does not really say anything that suggests that they aren't just another firm in the field.

Weak keep - it is spammy, but several of the sources look reliable - in particular the business journals, which are syndicated and well-known. It seems, therefore, to be barely notable.

Comment. That some of the sources may be reliable, I grant.

Delete Non-notable. The sources are very unimpressive - mostly press releases plus a few "business briefs". One actual article, in the Pacific Business News, about the company/its founder, dating from 2008.

This content was copied from Parenting style before a major edit there. I didn't intend this article to exist by itself, which is why I had made it a sub-page of Parenting style. All of the useful content is still present on other articles. Rixs (talk) 14:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why not split the articles though? I am not sure if Baumrind's four necessarily needs to be part of the Parenting article. If it is a trend in parenting thinking, it might have enough notability for independent status. Sadads (talk) 11:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This text is fundamentally about parenting styles, and so that other page is the proper place to explain it. Having looked into the topic of parenting, I've found no better theoretical overview of parenting styles. She set out to structure the topic of parenting styles, and she achieved it very well. So splitting it makes no sense to me. The text in this article was only copied out as a backup. Not for real use. I have no problem with the notability. It surely is noteable. -- Rixs (talk) 09:01, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
