Edin Selimović

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

Article was orignially taged for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G4, but was declined as Novi Pazar were promotted into a fully pro league since the last afd. Important here is that the players in question have not played for Novi Pazar in the SuperLiga and therefore still fail WP:NSPORT. In terms of general notability nothing has changed since the last afd either. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following articles for deletion for the same reason.

Delete all. According to the terrible and totally useless Superliga website, none of these players have actually played for Novi Pazar yet, or for any other team in a fully professional league, thus failing WP:NFOOTY. They all pretty much fail WP:GNG as well. (and something off-topic – Novi Pazar are doing awfully in the Superliga, poor guys haven't even scored yet...) Kosm1fent ^{Won't you talk to me?} 05:58, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Which exact website are you refering to? The official one? No one uses that website for anything, as even the licenced players for this season lists are incomplete, only the match reports are usefull, but they are anyway counted in utakmica.rs website, and for all historic data for each players you can use srbijafudbal.net which btw still didn´t updated this season squads totally. Anyway, if you find any difficulties in any of these websites, for SuperLiga and First League you can easily use Transfermarkt or Soccerway which have followed quite well the league appereances for the current and the last couple of seasons. FkpCascais (talk) 23:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, i was talking about the official one [1], so amateur and difficult to navigate to... And since i'm used to looking firstly at official league websites to find statistics, i was baffled. Utakmica looks so much better. Thanks a lot for your feedback on other websites, perhaps i should trust sites like Soccerway more, lol. Kosm1fent ^{Won't you talk to me?} 05:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - All of them, Utakmica, Soccerway and Transfermarkt, have been quite precise with league appereances and goals, the only thing they get wrong is that they fail to remove former players from squads staying listed for some time while already gone, but they are often unclear situations of players on trials, or on loan somewhere. Also, sometimes they miss to add some less important players in squad lists, but that situation is anyway corrected at the time they make their first appereance for the club. I follow Serbian football, so if you need help anytime please feel free to poke me. Best regards, FkpCascais (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 18:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - they have still been unused substitutes this season and they never played in pro league before. They are more a product of an enthusiastic club fan who keeps making all Novi Pazar players articles without being capable of understanding notability, despite having been already pointed out and explained to him in 2 languages already... If they come to play a match this season, we´ll easily restore them. FkpCascais (talk) 23:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

David Müller (footballer born 1991)

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

Plays in the third level of football in Germany. That may meet the bare minimun for notability, as the German 3rd_Liga is listed as fully professional at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. Yet I note it is the third level. One is not notable only for being a "professional something" ("professional baker", "professional cook") and third level national league is not notable, even if professional - note that the German Football Association official website highlights 1st and 2nd level (men), 1st level (women), Cup (men), Cup (women), and the League Cup (men)[extinct competition. That is, DFB itself seems to assume 3rd_Liga as not that much notable. And David Müller is not otherwise notable, in the WP sense. - Nabla (talk) 22:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification:The above refers to the english version of DFB's website. The german version has 3.Liga, as it has just about every level. - Nabla (talk) 10:34, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep If you want to delete this article you will have to change notability guidelines first. This would cause the deletion of thousands of articles. Football League Two is the English fourth division. But their players are also notable. By the way I consider the German 3rd League is more prosfessional than Egyptian Premier League. Obviously the German 3rd League is fully professional. [2] Important Sport magazines like Kicker (sports magazine) review the performance of every player of every game of the German 3rd League. [3] --Yoda1893 (talk) 12:11, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional Comment [4] In this source German Football Association explains that the German 3rd League has higher revenues and more TV appearances than any other third soccer division. --Yoda1893 (talk) 13:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of 'strong' comments/keep/delete? Shouting makes any kind of stronger point?

The site used as reference also says :«And it is not an unbiased review either, since I'm writing from the perspective of a fan. If you don't like it, don't read it.» (main page) and «I make no claims as to the accuracy of the information on this site» (about). Actually it is a very good site, but is is just as it says: a unreliable fan site.

The Kikers site you pointed also covers amateur liga. Should we then write about every team and player there?

Should we write about every professional working for fully professional organizations as Wal Mart? Shell? Exxon? They are part of something way larger than the German 3rd level footbal.

- Nabla (talk) 15:32, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the website of Kicker (sports magazine) are not detailed match reports about matches of the German fourth division (Regionalliga). But kicker.de and other sports magazines review the performance of every single player of every single game of the German 3rd League. Even like the website of the German Football Association presents match reports for every match of the German 3rd League. [5] By the way I used the word strong because David Müller obviously meets the notability guidelines and because this here is the wrong place for comparisons of fully professional athletes with employees of business enterprises. I consider that the salaries of the German 3rd league are higher as the salaries of the Portuguese second division and I also consider that the audience numbers are higher. This comparison makes more sense. --Yoda1893 (talk) 16:04, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have checked it. The numbers speak for themselves. [6] (second Portuguese divsion) [7] (German 3rd League) --Yoda1893 (talk) 16:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I might agree that that playing at the Portuguese Second division is even less of a hint for notability than playing at the German 3rd division. I would clearly vote delete on any player from it (if that would be the only reason). They are both not inherently notable. But I miss the point of the comparison... That there are other things even less notable does not make one thing notable. - Why compare paid worked at XXX with paid workers at YYY? One criterion for having this player is that he is a paid professional for a fully professional organization. I'm simply pointing by means of example that such argument, per se, is a extremely weak one: most of the adult world population is or was a paid professional for a professional organization. Yet most of the adult world population is not (WP-)notable. And I doubt you want to add wage as a major criterion. (It may hint, yes) I do accept the individual performance review as a good hint, better than I thought there would be (I regularly use DFB's site, but only the english version). But I still think he is not (WP-)notable. Oh!, thank you for discussing politely, it is often not possible in here. Tks. - Nabla (talk) 17:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that players of the second Portuguese Division are (just like players of the German 3rd League or the English and Italian fourth division) notable according to the notability guidelines of the English (and also German) Wikipedia. There are thousands of articles about players of this leagues. If you want to change the notability guidelines this is surely not the right place. In my opinion a singer who was one time in his life on chart position 99 with his single is not notable. But the notability guidelines say that he is notable. --Yoda1893 (talk) 17:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete (no sources) - If he has played in the German third league this article should be kept. But as there are currently no sources to confirm this I have to say delete. Adam4267 (talk) 17:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - nominator admits that this player meets existing notability criteria; smacks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Giant Snowman 18:03, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline says that it will «*generally* be regarded as notable» (my emphasys). My point is that in this case - plays at 3rd level, and not notable otherwise - it does not fit in the general case. That is, the nomination is entirely within the guideline. Please, assume good faith. - Nabla (talk) 20:33, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally means here obviously that a player who did not play in a fully professional league can also be notable if there are other reasons for notability and that a player who played in a fully professional league is definitely ( = generally) notable. I do not assume bad faith. But in this way the guideline was ever interpreted. --Yoda1893 (talk) 21:05, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Generally means "more often than not", "mostly", etc. (see: "generaly" at wordnetweb). That is quite different from definitely. I am aware that there are other similar articles around, I said so to begin with. As I see it, they are also not notable. - Nabla (talk) 21:26, 11 September 2011 (UTC) PS: I am also aware that it has been interpreted in the sense you say. I am arguing that it is too broad a interpretation. Actually I said so since the first line I wrote.[reply]
    - Generally can also mean (according to your link) without distinction of one from others. In this sentence it means according to the common interpretation that players of fully professional leagues are unattached of details definitely notable. The following sentence is: "A player who [...] has not played in any games [...] is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." In this context generally obviously does not mean mostly. By the way notability guidelines would not really make sense if they would not be clear criterias. --Yoda1893 (talk) 23:31, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I am sorry, but I could not understand a thing you are saying. (A german (?) and a portugueses talking in english... something got lost somewhere...). Anyway, thanks, it is clear we will not change our minds for now, and that our opinions are different. - Nabla (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN as a necessary article. Only uses one source and lacks content. Aaaccc (talk), 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. — Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 23:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Editors might decide to look at her film My Left Breast and decide if its having multiple awards and nominations,[10] and being the recipient of multiple review and critical commentary[11] bring her in under WP:CREATIVE AS the filmmaker, even if her coverage as a politician [12] is seen by some to be weak for a Politico. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:05, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the My Left Breast article is only two sentences wouldn't it make more sense to merge Norman's article with it? Aaaccc (talk), 11 September 2011 (UTC)

We don't usually merge larger articles into a smaller artricle simply because the smaller is "smaller". And being a sourcable part of her overall life, information about the filmmaker's years of political aspirations has no place in an article about a film. As it has been the recipient of multiple critical comemntary and review, far better to allow the film article to itself grow through the course of normal editing.

- Indeed, guideline does not say that someone failing WP:POLITICIAN cannot otherwise show notablility under WP:FILMMAKER. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above AdamCaputo (talk) 17:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Merge to My Left Breast. Google News search finds several other Peg Normans and Peggy Normans, but only one small item about her political campaign, and nothing about her connection to the film. All the coverage, reviews and awards cited above by Schmidt are about the film; I could find no evidence of any such coverage, reviews or awards for her personally or for her part in making the film. This suggests that the film may be notable but she is not; notability is not inherited. The article about the film needs to be expanded to show these awards and reviews, and there could be an added sentence or two about Peg Norman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MelanieN (talk • contribs) 17:08, September 17, 2011
- With respects, WP:INHERITED is an essay, and guideline itself clarifies how an individual can be notable through their work. WP:FILMMAKER quite specifically states that an individual can be determined notable if "The person has created a significant or well-known work that has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" and/or if "The person's work has won significant critical attention"... and as you yourself note, her her work HAS had such atention. This individual qualifies as notable per her work and per guideline, and such notability is not to be dismissed through misapplicatiuon of an essay. The sources offered above were to show her meeting the applicable guideline WP:FILMMAKER, and they do just that... showing this filmmaker notable through her work having received "significant critical attention", and the coverage of her work need not be about her personally. As I explained above, the article on the film is about the film and BLP information about the filmmaker's years of political aspirations has no place in an non BLP article about a film. And in your own searches, perhaps you missed the quite substantive article about her in The Hour? [13] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:04, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable colour of crayola, verging on dicdef bobrayner (talk) 21:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A color that has been in use since 1705 would seem to be notable enough to keep. The color is just sourced from Crayola. It could have been sourced from other color lists that it is on. Keraunos (talk) 21:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your time; bobrayner (talk) 18:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of significant use of this term as a colour name, let alone substantial coverage in reliable sources. The only source given is a mere list on which the term appears, but inclusion in a list is not substantial coverage. Also, the article is no more than a dictionary definition, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. To answer the reasons given for keeping:

The fact that a word has existed since 1705 does not make the subject which the word refers to automatically notable. There are many thousands of English words which are recorded from many centuries earlier than that, but we don't have articles on them all, nor even on most of them. Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
"All colors are notable": why? Who says so? Is there a guideline or consensus that says so? Simply stating that it's notable without giving any explanation why is not helpful: see the last paragraph of WP:ITSNOTABLE.
"I think there is virtue in having all the colors from a standard color chart". "I like it" is not a reason for keeping an article. Other editors have different opinions, and presumably if I say "I don't think that we should have an article on every colour from a colour chart" then that carries as much weight as Francis Bond saying he thinks we should. We have guidelines to indicate what is acceptable as evidence of notability, and "some editor likes it" isn't in any of those guidelines. I think if any administrator used "Ignore All Rules" to justify keeping an article without evidence of notability just because some editor likes the article but can't think of a policy- or guideline-based reason, then that administrator would be liable to be subjected to to some questions. And when the user who thinks we should have articles on every one of the entries in a colour chart actually says "even if some individual colors are not so notable", we clearly have, in effect, "Keep: It's not notable, but I think we shouldn't require articles to be only on notable subjects". That is totally contrary to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The colour chart referred to is an inclusive list of pretty well every word that the authors could find referring to a colour. Wikipedia, by contrast, is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and requires evidence of notability.

The long and the short of all that is that not a single one of the "keep" reasons is grounded in Wikipedia's policies or guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. Color names are chosen arbitrarily, subjective, and different at each paint manufacturer. There is no standard on what each color should be named. Moreover, some of these color articles have no content other than a weak dicdef (WP:NOTDIC). As for the X11 colors, the listing at X11 color names is more than enough and really all you can write about it. The articles on the primary colors could have a list of common names of some shades of that color.

Delete all as well argued by P199. Various manufacturers invent various names for their paints or dyes or crayons, but that does not mean that every one of them should have an article. They are simply manufacturer's designations and not notable in themselves.

Attacks on nonconformists and alternative lifestylers

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

I was originally for this article. However, the topic has very few sources and is wrongly categorized as discrimination. It is trying to push a POV that attacks on certain subcultures are discrimination. I have informed the author that comparing it to forms such as Racism, Sexism, or Homophobia is not appropriate because that these are unchosen facets of one's self and that comparing it to religious discrimination, classism, adultism, or weightism would be more appropriate since these are possible (although sometimes difficult) to change. The fact of the matter is that these subcultures are chosen. An article about bullying againist these groups is definatly appropriate but it should not be considered discrimination with the above circumstances not addressed. Not to mention as stated before the name is extremely unencylopedic.

Hekerui (talk) 20:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Delete The first paragraph of the article falls under "original theories and conclusions" as synthesis from reports of specific attacks (albeit from reliable sources). The topic itself, which is very specific, should be proven notable, which didn't happen. The little there is in that paragraph is also forky to goth subculture and punk subculture. The rest is merely two specific accounts of violence, which don't directly contribute to an overall understanding of the topic of violence. The article style is unencylopedic and the questionable title makes me doubt this could be salvaged at all. Hekerui (talk) 20:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a person who is occasionally quoted by newspapers on plastic surgery, and sometimes acts as a medical pundit on his local fox news affiliate.

Dr Di Saia is quoted in the Orange County Register frequently. A search at their site reveals over 100 citations in the last few years alone : http://www.ocregister.com/search/?q=john+di+saia&fistype=site

The entry I wrote on him at Wikipedia and the sourcing for the links I have posted at related topics related to that which he has written at his blog on the topics discussed on those pages. You are looking for validation at Wikipedia. He is a source for that validation. The guy is a real plastic surgeon and a good one.

The sourcing includes television spots, newspaper articles, invited quotations in the local newspaper and a medical publication that he has written. I also read his site for the educational background.

Jen, thanks for your contributions. However, you need to read the Wikipedia notability requirements at WP:B and WP:ACADEMIC. Being a "real plastic surgeon" (even "a good one") is not enough. Being quoted a lot is not enough. There has to be significant coverage ABOUT him by independent reliable sources in order for him to qualify for a Wikipedia article. This may seem awfully stringent, but it is necessary to make sure that the only articles published here are about things and people that are important enough to include in an international encyclopedia. --MelanieN (talk) 15:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He does not meet the requirements at WP:ACADEMIC since he has published next to nothing in peer-reviewed journals. Google Scholar finds the one article cited at his page, and PubMed also finds one comment (not an article); that appears to be it. Looking at the general Wikipedia requirements for notability, Google News search finds mostly quotes from him in the Orange County Register, where he appears to specialize in gossiping about the plastic surgery results of celebrities. There appears to be no independent coverage ABOUT him so he fails the general notability guideline as well. --MelanieN (talk) 15:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the academic issue he has unfortunately published as John Di Saia and John DiSaia. His CV (http://www.psinteractive.net/cv.htm) shows more medical journal publications than you have listed. Google scholar is not inclusive apparently. "Significant Coverage" is a pretty vague term. He has been on several television news programs as a source of general knowledge on plastic surgery in particular liposuction and fat removal technologies. I figured your medical section here was pretty sparse and reviewing the American plastic surgeons you have listed, the pages have much less on them than I was able to construct on Dr D. Being a good plastic surgeon can't be a criterion as you have Jan Adams listed and we all know what he did. It's your wiki. I figured quality professionals who obviously contribute to their fields and the internet was enough.

If you were to look into Dr D's representation on the review sites on the net, he is very well regarded by patients:

http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/36292/Dr-John-DiSaia-Orange-CA.html http://www.realself.com/find/California/Orange-County/Plastic-Surgeon/John-Philip-Di-Saia http://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-john-disaia-y75lk/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/john-di-saia-md-orange

You're right that patient review sites don't carry any weight here; they are anonymous and anyone can write anything they want, so they are neither WP:INDEPENDENT nor WP:RELIABLE as sites. I did search under both spellings of his name in both Google Scholar and PubMed. I don't know why the JAMA letter-to-the-editor didn't turn up on that search, but like the thing I cited above, it is a comment, not a peer reviewed article. The bottom line is that he has had only one article in a peer reviewed journal, published in 1998, in which he was one of three authors. The other items on his CV are things like a presentation at a meeting, or publications in non-peer-reviewed journals. That bibliography is a long, long way from meeting the requirements of WP:ACADEMIC. Since he doesn't qualify as a "professor" type who has had a major impact on his field, he would have to qualify under the general guideline for biographies, and that requires that independent reliable sources write ABOUT him - not just quote him or his blogs. --MelanieN (talk) 02:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability, Wikipedia is not a dictionary: either of those would have been sufficient reason for deletion. In fact in my opinion it qualifies for speedy deletion under criterion A3: "Any article ... consisting only of external links, category tags and "see also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, ...

Delete all. Color names are chosen arbitrarily, subjective, and different at each paint manufacturer. There is no standard on what each color should be named. Moreover, some of these color articles have no content other than a weak dicdef (WP:NOTDIC).

Keep Take another look; I just did a complete rewrite to put the article into encyclopedic style. She gets seven pages of hits at Google News; unfortunately most of them are behind paywalls so I couldn't cite them. Most are not "about" her, but I think the awards make up for the relative lack of news coverage which is specifically about her. --MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about numbers of hits. It's about substantive, independent third party coverage. [15] is the only reference that comes close. I'll be more than happy to reverse my vote if more coverage comes to light. In particular an official reference with citation for “Woman of the Year”, California State Legislature would be gold. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: MelanieN's argument is not persuasive. The pertinent guidelines explicitly state that a source quoting an individual can neither be used to support the individual's notability nor that of the organization which she might represent. As such, rafts of Google News hits that merely quote the subject are worthless. That being said, there is no criterion under which Ms. Wagstaff winning awards confers notability absent coverage in reliable sources of the same. Ravenswing 10:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep: Nom has neither proffered a valid ground for deletion, nor advocated deletion, nor advocated any action at all.

Ravenswing 10:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get these kinds of !votes. If the nominator's reason for nominating the article is unpersuasive, that is not a rationale to speedy close the AFD, especially where other participants in the discussion have offered better arguments. causa sui (talk) 17:50, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's lovely to be a punching bag.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that the nominator has given an unpersuasive reason to delete. It's that the nominator hasn't given ANY reason to delete, nor even advocated deletion or any other action. That being said, it's not that the two Delete proponents have offered "better" arguments so much as they've expressed arguments at all. Nonetheless, a speedy close is a perfectly proper way to handle a broken nomination. In the nom's shoes, I would have worried less about hurt feelings than about fixing the AfD to reflect a proper nomination, complete with valid deletion criteria, but that's just me. Ravenswing 19:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is it's a waste of time to argue with you. I gave a reason to delete. I just phrased it as a question instead of as a statement. I nominated several articles in this area at about the same time. Two have already been deleted. This one is apparently a closer call. What you should have done is simply stated your reasons for why the article should be kept rather than rant about the alleged shortcomings of mine for nominating it. I'm not "hurt", just annoyed.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Why one advocates a "Speedy Keep" result is through a belief that the nomination is deeply flawed and/or improperly tendered, on procedural grounds rather than on the merits (or lack thereof) of deletion. I'm somewhat flabbergasted that someone active in AfD, with over 14,000 edits, would need that spelled out, because people advocate Speedy Keeps only about several dozen times a day at AfD, and for just those reasons. Ravenswing 20:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was annoyed, and now you're flabbergasted. I feel better. What I've seen of speedy keeps is that they are usually made when the voter thinks the nomination is patently meritless, not for "procedural" reasons. I'm hungry now and want to have lunch, but I'll look later to see if you're technically correct, despite my personal observations. It sounds completely contrary to common sense to me, but a lot of editors here don't believe in common sense. You can take that as a mild dig if you like.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First off, those who sited Wikipedia:FOOTYN should be aware that is an essay, not a guideline or policy, so its fairly meaningless. If enough people supported it, it'd be promoted to guideline status. The fact that they only played one season then joined with Queen City FC who had played for two seasons, to form FC Buffalo which has thus far played for two seasons and is still around, isn't relevant. That article says the final team was "not a continuation of either franchise". It is part of a national organization, not just some local club. Dream Focus 01:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I can't sort out what the club is or what they were, so it's not clear to me that this club ever played in the NPSL. The only "source" we have is the club's own website, which, in my view, is not reliable. But, even so, it says, "Although not the same entity Ontario United FC previously was called Buffalo City FC." I don't know what it means by "not the same entity". Then, it says that "the club competed in the 2009 National Premier Soccer League". I think it means that Buffalo City FC competed in 2009. The website also says that it sold its "franchise rights" to FC Buffalo. Then, the website says that the Ontario club was founded in 2011 and INTENDS "to join one of the several top North American soccer leagues". So, we now have the Ontario article AND the Buffalo City FC article. Maybe keeping the Buffalo City FC article (which I've also AfD'ed) makes some sense and keeping the FC Buffalo article (which I have not AfD'ed) also makes sense because it's actually playing, but it would be incestuous to also keep the Ontario article until it plays in something that is considered notable. Ontario is nothing more than a derivative of something else with aspirations.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment English language sources aren't readily available, as far as I can tell. But both the Italian and Spanish language versions of the article are pretty lengthy, so there might be something to this. I'd feel a lot better if someone from Argentina would chime in. (I left a message at the Argentine Wikiproject.) Zagalejo^^^ 00:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I considered !voting keep and adding Template:Expand Spanish on the article to get a translation from the Spanish Wikipedia article. However, it seems WP:CIRCULAR to rely on another Wikipedia article, especially when I am not fluent enough in Spanish to determine if the references are considered reliable. Another negative is the Spanish article doesnt have many footnotes, relying mostly on External Links. I have no problem if someone has confidence in the Spanish sources and thinks a translation would benefit the English article.—Bagumba (talk) 08:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. There isn't much available for notability, but I feel the place is effectively treated as historically significant by the news hits, and these two book hits [16] [17] suggest the same, and given that the club saw it's prime day during the 50's, there might be some more content available offline. The article from the Spanish Wikipedia is very thorough, but none of the information is supported by the sources (given that there are none). The Italian version is more discrete and better referenced, and had this link [18] to confirm the club's participation in Primera División in 1920. The club's history as presented by the city's government is very short [19], but it describes it as having been a precursor in Soccer, "the most outstanding, together with Club Gimnasia y Esgrima, in Basketball", and also the stage for notorious Milonga orchestras — frankie (talk) 15:49, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

merge to the author. If there is no more specific term than this, it would not be an appropriate separate article. If there are actually suficient sources, the alternative to this would be an article on her book. DGG ( talk ) 02:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment. The title is a little odd - but there is some justification for this when looks at some of the sources. The origins of the model are to be found in

* Robinson, Joan (1956) The Accumulation of Capital London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd. AND

* Robinson, Joan (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd.

I think this would make it not so obvious which book article to make and have this in - though this would be possible. Also I think the model might unbalance the biographical article on her so merging it there might be not so good.

Articles which talk explicitily about this mode include:

* Cuyvers, Ludo, (1979) Joan Robinson's Theory of Economic Growth, Science and Society, 43:3, Fall, p.326

* Gandolfo, G. (1967) Some critical remarks on Joan Robinson’s growth model. Rivista di Politica Economica v.57, February.

* Tobin, James, (1989) "Growth and Distribution: A Neoclassical Kaldor-Robinson Exercise," Cambridge Journal of Economics, Oxford University Press, vol. 13(1), pages 37-45, March.

And a synthesised summary of the model here: D. Hamberg, D. (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth by Joan Robinson, The American Economic Review Vol. 53, No. 5, Dec., pp. 1109-1114. This might be a very useful source for expanding and clarrifying the topic.

Also I recall seeing textbook versions when I studied this and it is on the syllabus of some courses under this title. I would prefer renaming it to Robinson's growth model but thought to wait until after the afd. (Msrasnw (talk) 11:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Delete. The inclusion criteria for entry on the list appear to be 1) That it is a car race at Talladega; and 2) That the race has been judged to be "memorable". Criterion 1) is fine and discriminate, criterion 2) is troublesome due to the inherent subjectiveness in "memorable", so dropping that and making a comprehensive List of races at Talladega Superspeedway would be more acceptable (although I am not sure if that would manageable, a major racetrack features several races over the years). The current list however suffers from wooly inclusion criteria, and an alternate comprehensive list would be a different article. Sjakkalle (Check!) 18:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability. The sources cited in the article are (1) a link to a colour conversion tool, which converts colour information from one format to another (e.g. from Red/Green/Blue to Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black) but does not mention "Xanadu", nor any other individual colour, (2) a link to a web page about a cultivated variety of Philodendron known as "Xanadu", making no mention of any use of the word to refer to a colour, (3) a web page on the site of a paint company, giving contact information for that company, but not mentioning "Xanadu", nor any other colour, (4) a link to a list of colours, including "Xanadu", not looking to me like a very reliable source, (5) a dead link to a removed page which, to judge from the comment in the Wikipedia article, was another list.

Contestant from a singing reality show. He doesn't differ from the other eliminated contestants aside from the fact of winning a "fan favorite" quiz which is not nearly enough to call him relevant. I'm going to remind the voters that American Idol, a much more famous and traditional show, doesn't have individual articles for contestants unless they become relevant.

Keep The subject has received enough significant coverage in reliable sources in the context of his entertainment career as well as the television show. I'm going to remind the nominator that American Idol is not the standard here. /ƒETCH COMMS / 14:15, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Nothing of relevance can be seen on the article, though. Most sources only talk about his stay on the show, and the only information about his nonexistent carrer is about the fact he is unsigned and likes to write about girls. And the American Idol example is perfectly usable - it's a reality show about singing and articles for irrelevant contestants are created (and deleted) all the time for each season, like what's happening on this one. --Tam001 (talk) 00:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure what you mean by "nothing of relevance". I'm sure his career as an entertainer is relevant to his biography. As for Idol, it's a completely different type of competition show; regardless, each biography should be judged on its own merits and not those of similar articles. /ƒETCH COMMS / 04:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was prepared to wait and see but since this has now come to AfD I don't have any choice but to support deletion based on Wikipedia policy, although I think redirection to The Glee Project#Contenders is probably a better option. WP:BLP1E very clearly applies here. All of the subject's notability relates directly to his appearance on The Glee Project, most to his voluntary exit from the competition. Of the 14 citations in the current version of the article, all but one directly refers to his appearance (and disappearance) from the program. Only the iTunes reference does not, that simply supports the existence of his EP, which apparently wasn't overly popular until he left The Glee Project. BLP1E says "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event and if, outside of the event, that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." Clearly, the overwhelming majority of the sources in the article do only cover him in the context of one event (The Glee Project) so we need to determine if he will remain "and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". Unfortunately, we can't do that. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. However, based on not only American Idol contestants but contestants from every reality series that has ever aired, the likelihood that he will remain a low-profile individual is extremely high, so there is very little reason to keep this article based on policy. In the event that he becomes notable independent of The Glee Project, the article can always be created but at this point he just doesn't meet the notability requirements. While I respect the right of those who have voted to keep this article to vote that way, policy doesn't support it. --AussieLegend (talk) 19:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. --Tam001 (talk) 22:23, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to say "delete" again. You already implied that in your nomination statement. I've removed the bolded text in case the closing admin happens to be a vote-counter. /ƒETCH COMMS / 23:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – WP:BLP1E does not apply here, as that is a policy that was intended to protect people who attracted attention due to their inadvertent association with some crime, natural disaster, or something like that. Once a person has undertaken to appear on a nationally televised reality show, that person is not "low-profile", as they have taken steps to try to attain public recognition. In this particular case, this musician has been the subject of coverage in multiple reliable sources such as the Dallas Observer and The Dallas Morning News, and so meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. These are not passing mentions in articles that are otherwise about the TV show; they are articles about the subject. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:11, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Where exactly in WP:BLP1E or WP:1E does it say that it doesn't apply in this case? If it doesn't apply to this person, then it doesn't apply to, for example, a lot of unsuccessful political candidates, who become high profile only for the election period and yet we discourage articles on such people specifically because of BLP1E. And of course it would also not apply to contestants on national and international reality TV programs, yet we discourage articles on these people for the same reason. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:33, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it's worth mentioning again that he's been covered by the New York Times. He also was just signed to Atlantic Records, just waiting on a reliable source before adding.LoriLee (talk) 11:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's interesting. I thought the Atlantic thing wasn't true (or at least, not official). But I'll keep an eye on that. /ƒETCH COMMS / 16:13, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as subject is the focus of multiple articles in reliable third-party sources, crossing both the verifiability and notability thresholds. That articles mention his Glee Project appearance does not invoke BLP1E any more than almost every article about Neil Armstrong mentioning that Apollo 11 thing. (Not that this guy is Neil Armstrong...) - Dravecky (talk) 21:56, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There's a big difference between Neil Armstrong and this article. Apollo 11 was an event that extended, quite literally, beyond the bounds of this planet. 450 million people (12.4% of the world's population) watched the landing. In many places everything stopped for the event. In Vietnam hostilities even ceased for it. Armstrong has continued to remain notable independent of the event. Apollo 11 is often mentioned, as would be expected for such a globally significant event, but Armstrong is not mentioned only in context of Apollo 11. By comparison, The Glee Project's audience varied between 455,000 and 1.24 million (we don't even have viewer figures for the episode in which Mitchell quit), or only about 0.006-0.017% of the world's population. All of the sources quite heavily discuss Mitchell in the context of The Glee Project so the comparison between him and Neil Armstrong is quite ridiculous. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:25, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - As I said above, he's no Neil Armstrong, but notability is not a competition and a subject need only meet minimal standards for inclusion. Also, if your rationale for deletion is compelling there's no need to personally respond to every !vote. - Dravecky (talk) 03:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're ignoring BLP1E. As for replying, it doesn't matter how compelling a rationale is, people will ignore it for inexplicable reasons and there is nothing wrong with refuting rationales that are flawed. This is supposed to be a discussion, not just a vote. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I did find one medical article evaluating the product and concluding "The medical food (Theramine) appeared to be effective in relieving back pain without causing any significant side effects and may provide a safe alternative to presently available therapies." Some of the authors of that study were from the company that manufacturers the product, but other authors were from UCLA School of Medicine and the article appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, so it can probably be considered as an independent reliable source. However, a single article in a single journal is not enough to satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. --MelanieN (talk) 14:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Theramine can refer to: • a fictional food additive that makes animals grow huge, from the episode Attack of the Alligators! of the television series Thunderbirds; • a common misspelling of Théramène, the name of a character in Racine's play Phèdre; • a common misspelling of theremin, an early electronic musical instrument that is played without being touched; • the trademarked name of a medical food prescribed for pain management.

RE: Sources: OK, we've now cited the American Journal of Therapeutics article three times - once by me and twice by you. That still appears to be the only reference in a peer-reviewed journal. Your other source is the Clinical Data page from the manufacturer, not an independent source. So we are still left with only one reference from an independent, reliable source - and as I noted above, that's not enough for Wikipedia, which requires multiple such sources. BTW if we apply the WP:ACADEMIC standard, and count the number of times that article has been cited by others to help determine notability - Google Scholar seems to say that it has never been cited a single time by anyone. --MelanieN (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Avenue, if you want to userfy it and don't want to delete it, why send it to Articles for Deletion? Ironholds (talk) 16:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the unsolicited advice. Nevertheless, I was confused (rather, I thought about moving it to User: namespace first) whether the article should be deleted as promotional (like one I nominated at AfD was/is about to be) or userfied. Thus, I posted (rather, voted) my opinion. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 17:02, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't advice, it was a statement; AfD is for deletions. If the nominator is unsure, the nominator should not nominate it. Ironholds (talk) 17:28, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I clearly know what AfD means (for the matter of the fact, vandalism too), and posted it at AfD becuase the article was unencyclopaedic. I thought about userfying the article, but figured that few extra opinions would help. Thus, I brought the article at AfD because it was unencyclopaedic, and suggested userfication. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're not understanding your role. An article should be nominated for deletion if the nominator feels it should be deleted. A nominator does not get to comment "delete" or, for that matter, "userfy rather than delete"; the very fact that the article has been nominated is taken to indicate that the nominator feels deletion is the only option. If there are other options, don't nominate it. Ironholds (talk) 18:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think both of you are partially right. Looong story short... Avenue X can suggest to userfy as this is deleting the article from main space. Userfication is a very grey area, with no AfU and can get messy (remember long story short). However, Avenue should have suggested it in their nomination as a possibility and not after. As Ironholds said, "A nominator does not get to comment 'delete'". It looks like two "votes" to delete. Ironholds, do you know of where it says not to do this practice? I commented the same thing to a nominator on their talk page and got a nasty reply back ("I'm an admin" and "you are nothing") that they will continue to do the practice. Bgwhite (talk) 07:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFD makes clear that "Articles for deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians discuss whether an article should be deleted" (not, crucially, userfied, or moved, or anything else) while the userfication essay (I know, only an essay) does not give AfD as an appropriate venue. Which admin was this? I'm tempted to give him a trouting. Ironholds (talk) 08:14, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As written, the article is "spam" and the editor has a clear conflict of interest. So, I wouldn't userfy as the article needs to be blown up and re-written from scratch. There are clearly Google hits on the articles he has written. There is also not enough significant, independent coverage about him. I personally have trouble with this type of person's nobility as I can see why someone would want to write an article and also say keep.

Per the section 'Basic criteria' within 'Wikipedia: Notability (people)' (WP:BIO), “A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.” The individual passes WP:BIO due to the available multiple independent sources which demonstrate notability and in the manner of which those sources are not comprised of trivial coverage.

Delete: I'm not nearly as sanguine about Carrite's sources as he is. First off, several of them are blog posts, not articles. More than one contains some of the same language ("He has started and exited four companies. Most recently he transformed Warrillow & Co. from a boutique consultancy into a recurring revenue model subscription business ...") which suggest the cold hand of publicists dishing out press releases. Another is a broken link, and another discusses a book by Warrillow, not Warrillow himself. What I am not seeing are solid sources which discuss the subject in "significant detail." Ravenswing 10:51, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article does not meet our notability requirements. It doesn't meet WP:GNG, as none of the references included in the article have significant coverage of him, and I couldn't locate reliable and independent references that could. Sure, I found some blog posts, but that just doesn't cut it. He also fails WP:AUTHOR. Some people may claim that he is an important person in his field, but I'd say that there just isn't sufficient evidence to prove that.--Slon02 (talk) 16:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to "The Cham-Cham", the episode in which the character appears - I'd argue that "Cass Carnaby" is a plausible search term. The alleged cameo re-appearance is provided by recycled stock footage, and is original research in the absence of sourcing to confirm that this second character is indeed Carnaby.

Merge either to The Cham-Cham per SuperMarioMan, or to a list of minor Thunderbirds characters--although I am unsure that there's enough "minor character" content for the latter. Jclemens (talk) 19:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thunderbirds is light on recurring characters; since the majority of characters appear in one episode only, I'm not sure about how much justification there would be for a "List of minor/recurring characters in Thunderbirds" (or something to that effect). I'll add that I have no objection to deletion; I would simply prefer a redirect (given that the article is only a few lines long, and that all of its content can be found in "The Cham-Cham", I don't really see anything that requires merging).

Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Memorable character but spectacularly fails WP:GNG. The cameo is verifiable, since it's mentioned in The Complete Book of Thunderbirds, but I doubt anybody searching for this would be looking for that and it certainly doesn't make him notable. Redirect as a plausible search term. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The fictional character does not meet in anyway the general notability guideline and there is nothing to presume that the article can be anything different from a summary-only description of a fictional work. The article itself does not provide a single reliable source, which means that there is no valid reason to keep it as stand-alone article. As this is not a recurring character, only appears in a single episode and a cameo, is a minor character and there is no significant coverage of him, I do not believe that a merge or a redirect are appropriate. Jfgslo (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Most characters that appear in only one episode aren't notable, and this one is not an exception. Since the character only appears in one episode, it's best to just create a redirect to that episode. I'm just no seeing any content worth merging.--Slon02 (talk) 16:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to IVF#History.

The other references come from TV Tonight, which if you didn't know, is a very reliable source of television information whereby the author of the blog has ties with Network Ten chief programmer David Mott (Don't believe me? Ask him). The blog post that is referenced references itself from the Network Ten PR detailing their program launch and info for returning shows.

Delete Wiki articles aren't needed for every group that makes the news. Notability for encyclopedic articles depends on significant coverage by independent, reliable sources.

Keep. The article isn't great, and there isn't an overwhelming number of hits, but the interview with the Tagesspiegel itself is already a pretty god indication of notability. Drmies (talk) 01:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tagesspiegel is a small, political newspaper with a circulation of 120000, if that. As I am European, to explain to American readers, coverage in that paper is analogous to coverage in a very minor libertarian newspaper in a city such as Seattle. Antiselfpromotion (talk) 16:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A long-established newspaper with a circulation of 120,000 (or 148,000 according to our article) is hardly "small" or "very minor". Phil Bridger (talk) 18:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The topical interviews very clearly do not establish notability under WP:BIO. That there are many footnotes does not establish notability by itself. The sources are not detailed profiles of the subject. They are interviews in which he is consulted for factual information about a matter of topical news. The rest of the article is original research about the subject's political viewpoints (with no notability established as a political commentator), as drawn from his own online writings on message boards. Antiselfpromotion (talk) 16:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Antiselfpromotion misstates WP:GNG and WP:OUTCOMES. Sufficient citations of a good quality throws the burden of proof onto the nominator, by presuming notability. The nomination has not stated why a presumptively notable person's article should be deleted, other than WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Bearian (talk) 19:01, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I read the citations, he was not 'covered' under WP:GNG. He was asked about something topical. Someone consulted by press on e.g. the BP oil spill would not be notable on that basis, even if there had been multiple consultations. The citations establish that he should perhaps be listed in the article on Bitcoin, nothing more. Antiselfpromotion (talk) 01:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As DGG points out, much of the article is sourced, and I've found several better sources for parts of it that may not be very solidly sourced yet (NYTimes - read the full article, 2001 news story, CNN in 2004, another NYT story, Ghana Business News, same story on Sky News, item on $1 million bills, another item regarding $1 million bills) I expect that the overall topic has been documented somewhere else, thus making the topic as a whole notable, but I confess that I haven't found such evidence yet.

Non-notable person; fails WP:ENTERTAINER with only one significant role in anything (and the thing happens to be an unreleased project by her fiance). Article was created by the subject or by a relative, and most of the work on it and linking it from other articles was likewise done by a user that appears to have a COI, so it's a vanity page as well. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 08:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think the article is written ok. However, Ms. McDow appears not to have done anything notable yet. According to IMDB, the film she will be in is still filming. So, can't yet use her film role to assess nobility. Also, I think the film has a budget of $500,000. That leaves some ads and video music work, which doesn't amount to much.

I could not find a single reliable source providing significant coverage of the subject. Delete per WP:GNG. Note, the subject of the article is a game development company, not a video game itself.

Keep: A lot of the references I had intended to add have been contributed by Gurt Posh since the nomination for deletion. I am currently working offline on Laughing Jackal's games that are of note within the field of PSP Minis for thier high sales figures and critical acclaim, particularly OMG-Z which currently ranks 4th highest scoring game on Metacritic for all PSP games.

Firstly I have to note that this article is not finished, the “newpage” tag was removed before I had fully evidenced the notability of the subject. The developer and its titles have received significant coverage within the videogaming industry from a variety of reliable, independent sources. Even as a smaller UK developer they have received international attention. A Google News search will display reviews and reports from French, German and American websites. Researching further I can find reviews from Australia, Italy and Spain among others, including coverage in major newspapers like the Toronto Star and The Independent. The fact that Laughing Jackal’s games currently have no Wikipedia pages do not immediately infer they are not notable – you’ve probably heard it argued to death, but “Wikipedia is never finished” – I am currently working on the articles for the titles I consider notable and have plenty of appropriate sources available for them. If it is simply the present quantity of reference sources and/or detail in the article that has resulted in this nomination for deletion then I can continue to work on the article to develop and improve it then I will consent to it being userfyed. However, I in turn fail to see how Laughing Jackal lacks the notability to warrant an entry in Wikipedia. Eldopian (talk) 09:05, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion discussion is about the company, not the games. I agree, some of the games are notable and should have articles. I do not believe the company itself is notable. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Userfy per WP:PRODUCT: "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right. In this case, an article on the product may be appropriate, and notability of the company itself is not inherited as a result." and WP:CORPDEPTH as I don't feel the references provided describe the company itself in enough depth.
I do recognise the creator's ongoing work and believe this company could in future become notable so I suggest userfying the article to the creator's namespace so that work can be continued and if/when the company can be demonstrated to clearly meet WP:CORP/WP:GNG the article can be recreated. This is a borderline case, IMHO, which is why I suggest this. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 16:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The article and keep the games produced by Laughing Jackal within the article. Notability is established per Eldopian's citations and arguments above.

Can you point me to a reference that provides significant coverage of the subject of this nomination? Unless such a reference exists, I don't see why this company is notable. The fact the company's products may be notable is not inherited by the company itself. --Odie5533 (talk) 19:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Game companies are like record companies, notable based on how successful the things they release are. Eurogamer and others do comment on the developer also at times [41] saying "developer Laughing Jackal seems to know exactly what buttons to press to get its audience nodding along appreciatively." I see two games of its which have articles now with references found reviewing them, and a third one can be created with that link there for their game Vibes(see the previous page of the review at the bottom for it). Dream Focus 04:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the GNG requires significant coverage. From WP:N, "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right.

Just having been played on several radio stations associated with the performer, even if in multiple markets, is not sufficient to meet WP:BAND.

CommentRadio station websites are included as reliable sources.

Comment Being played on-air 22 times by the local radio station isn't exactly national airplay. There are several radios stations listed, but they are owned by the same company, that uses the same website and the same database of artists.... Hehe, being played on the talk, country and classics sister-stations would be a coup. Bekker Records only artist is Lowell Bekker and is owned by him, that is self-publishing. Bgwhite (talk) 21:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't just local radio stations, even if they are all the same company that owns them. Bekker Records is owned by Natasha Bekker, with artists such as Jac Harper and others.

The power of google! I kid. There are several markets that the single has played in, such as New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami (etc.) Even though, as discussed earlier, they're all owned by the same company, they all are eligible as national airplay. They're on each radio station website, which could be considered a valid source because they are not editable by the public nor the artist.

I don't understand. This article complies with Wikipedia's rules for musician biographies. Bekker has received NATIONAL airplay. It's not just because he's important, but I believe this article should stay, because there is nothing wrong with it.

Delete Fails WP:GNG which expects multiple sources of WP:INDEPENDENT independent coverage. All the sources on Google are from Manilla Standard, but GNG says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." WP:NBASKETBALL does not grant presumed notability to Philippine Basketball League.

- Note: WP:NBASKETBALL is only for people, not teams. –H T D 12:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - True, but it would seem a logical extension that if a player is presumed notable for playing in a game in a league, then sufficient coverage is likely to exist for a team in the league as well. In any event, the point is moot, as the league is not part of the SNG. It will need to demonstrate it passes GNG. —Bagumba (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I suppose teams in a sports league where all of its games were covered in national free TV are notable enough -- this is a step lower than the professional Philippine Basketball Association (all current teams and most defunct teams have articles), and a step higher than the collegiate leagues (the top 2 leagues all have articles on their teams) so to say that this team is not notable is like saying we should AFD Arena Football League or Football League Championship teams. –H T D 04:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - The concern is the coverage, not the level of play. Not being familiar with the league, I can only go off sources I can find, or sources identified in this AfD. Those more familiar with the league have the option to use common sense and overrule the lack of sources.—Bagumba (talk) 05:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I know what the guidelines say, but multiple articles in the Manila Standard is good enough for me. It's highly unlikely that the Manila Standard was the only paper to ever cover this team.

Keep. This is faulty WP:GNG reasoning. While it may be true that there's only one source online (Google News' archive of the Manila Standard), it is inconceivable to say the list that it was only that paper that covered the team or the league at that time. A similar type of article will be the UAAP Season 50 men's basketball tournament (1987), which used the same Manila Standard source. It's inconceivable that the UAAP article be deleted if it's modern-day counterpart UAAP Season 73 men's basketball tournament (2010) exists -- look at the ton of coverage on the latter article. Would it be logical to say that an identical article set 20 years ago be deleted because we can only get one online source and assume there no other sources? WP:GNG also states "Sources are not required to be available online" hence it's suffice to say that sources do exist, not just online, nor can it be easily retrieved. –H T D 18:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff existing is not a strong argument. While online sources are not required, it cannot be assumed that offline sources automatically exist either. Nobody has identified any offline sources. For any of the articles in Category:Philippine Basketball League teams, there does not seem to be any independent coverage cited. All of the articles under Category:Philippine Basketball League seasons list only an external link to http://www.philippinebasketball.ph/, which is only a single source (can't tell if it is reliable or based on user contributions.) Philippine Basketball League itself has no citations and only has external links to non-independent sites. The WP:BURDEN to show Triple-V Foodmasters (let alone the other related league articles) has not been met. WP:V says verifiability is what matters, not whether it is actually true. Editors can argue to ignore all rules because they know firsthand that this team is notable, but let's not argue GNG until multiple independent, reliable sources have not been identified.—Bagumba (talk) 18:58, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Philippine Basketball League has 1,570 articles in Google News, showing that there it passes WP:GNG. As for the article quality, well it is crappy, but having crappy articles is not reason for deletion.

As what I've said earlier, it's pretty inconceivable to declare that there's no GNG for the Philippine Basketball League in the 1990s when there is sufficient coverage now. –H T D 19:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep With respects to the nominator and above editors, the film was titled Choker only during its 2005 festival run, and yes... such a comon name makes searches quite difficult. But when released by MTI Home Video on DVD in 2006, it was titled Disturbance in the U.S. and B.E.I.N.G. in the UK. Armed with THAT information, independent secondary sources addressing the film directly AND in detail are much easier to find. I immediately found quite substantive reviews in JoBLo and Film Critics United and evidence of several other decent reviews... including one in Fangoria. What was nominated one-day after being created by a two-edit account is already looking better and more encyclopedic.

Delete: No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources to presume that the fictional character meets the general notability guideline. All that shows up with a quick search engine test are trivial mentions, nothing that indicates that the character has analytic or evaluative claims made about him in reliable secondary sources. Without reception and significance, the article is a summary-only description of a fictional work, nothing to presume that the fictional character deserves a stand-alone article. Jfgslo (talk) 15:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The sources gven so far merely confirm that the character exists, meaning, it was indeed published at some issues of the Justice League comic book. But existence does not equal notability. We can have articles about things from fiction, but if written from an out-of-universe perspective. And that's precisely the problem: that there is no such information. "Publication history" has only one sentence written under that perspective, it can be halved nto two, but that's as long as it will ever get. We can't talk about a history of creative teams working with the character, visual or narrative changes done over the years, regular publications or big crossovers featuring it as the main character, use in other media; because none of that exist. As I said, "three or four comic book appearences" is all. Expansion is not possible, the only way to expand would be to explain into even higher detail the plot of those issues, which is a big no-no.

Ralph Townsend

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

Biographical article of a school headmaster which does not demonstrate notability. Previously ProD'd but this was removed with only one of several issues contested.

Dr Townsend may be notable within a small academic circle, but there is no demonstrating of overall notability.

Being a headmaster of a school is not, in itself, notable.

While Dr Townsend has been involved with several wider programs, none of these have been large or influential organisation. For a headmaster of any school (public or state) involvement in these programs is simply part of the job.

While I recognise this is not enough to rule out notability, a Google search for Ralph Townsend does not provide any sources beyond those from the school, from social media sites, or from articles mentioning Dr Townsend in passing.

As it stands at the moment, a majority of the article is either a) providing an unsourced description of his teaching career, or b) listing the 10 schools involved in a partnership program. The single source in the article simply confirms that he is the Headmaster of the college.

I am sure that Dr Townsend is a good headmaster who has a positive influence on those around him. But sadly he does not have the notability required for a Wikipedia article. Guycalledryan (talk) 17:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Guardian article referenced in the article has significant coverage of Townsend, being about his reform programme for the school, and the Tablet article has him as its subject, but I don't know how much coverage there is beyond the one fact sourced to it (a snippet can be seen here). There is also an article in Country Life about him [47] and some coverage in these news sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is in Who's Who, yes, and that is certainly not a vanity publication (although I have seen ill-informed editors describe it as such in AfDs). One is invited to be in WW - one does not apply or pay to be in it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:00, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And the same goes for Debrett's People of Today. John beta seems to be confusing these publications with certain others. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Phil Bridger, I'm not confused - you nominate yourself for inclusion in Debrett's People of Today (unlike Who's Who) Under this type of business model there is an expectation that people listed will buy a copy. That said, I'm not saying that this isn't a legitimate business model, and certainly not a scam. John beta (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Neither cdrkit nor dvd+rw-tools are actively maintained anymore which makes cdrskin along with the non-GPL cdrtools the last remaining optical disk writers for Linux and alike operating systems (especially when it comes to Blu-ray support). It's included in Debian, Fedora, and AFAIK also Ubuntu and IIRC Debian's Blu-ray installation media were created using cdrskin. With optical disk recording fading away, this software's popularity may not set the world on fire but it should be enough to justify an article. I try to find sources as reference. Give me a few days time, though. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 01:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What I suggest we do is come up with a suitable article name and merge all of these together to retain the content and refs. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:54, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By “all these” do you mean cdrtools, cdrkit, and cdrskin? If yes, it would not make any sense. Except for being an recording application, it has nothing to do with the other two. I've extended the cdrskin article to cover all libburnia components. Whether or not the article should be renamed/moved to libburnia is not of any importance to me, though.
After some digging I found out that libburn is used as sole recording back-end for Xfce’s Xfburn. Since Xfce is a pretty popular X11 desktop environment, the notability should now be proven. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 02:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except for the fact that Wikipedia's notability guideline has nothing that says that an article like this is notable. SL93 (talk) 02:43, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the notability guidelines say that “editorial judgment” would justify a separate article if it were “unwieldy” elsewise. cdrskin/libburn acts as sole back-end for Xfburn and optional back-end for Brasero, K3b, etc.
Xfburn is discussed shortly in Xfce, while Brasero and K3b have their own articles. It would be – as notability guidelines say – “unwieldy” to discuss all possible back-ends in each article, so the “editorial judgment” is that the front-ends are discussed where they are fit (either in their own articles or as sub-chapter of the organization that produced the front-end) and that the various back-ends are discussed in their own articles. So the only question would be the name for the article. Should it stay cdrskin or rather libburnia? --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 11:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although I'd make it only a subsection of an article on libburnia (which doesn't exist yet). The website seems to be currently broken, though. The cdrskin is actively uploaded to Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux at least (e.g. Ubuntu 1.1.0.pl01 changelog, Arch 1.1.4) and the project seems to be more alive than cdrkit and cdrtools. It is commonly said that the Linux distributions will drop cdrkit at some point in favor of libburnia (and cdrskin is the compatibility wrapper afaict) to get a codebase independent of cdrtools. The conflicts of the cdrtools maintainer are all over Wikipedia, too. For the sake of the sensibility of this subject, I'd avoid debateful deletions. --Chire (talk) 08:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Cdrskin#libburnia_overview discusses libburnia; when looking for notability, you should include libburnia which is also covered by this article. If you find libburnia more relevant, you should propose a rename and help rewriting the article accordingly. It's a editorial matter whether or not to put the libburina project in front or the probably more user-visible cdrskin wrapper. --Chire (talk) 08:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
