There do not appear to be independent reliable sources that are substantively about this character that establish its notability separate from the film in which it appears. The sources that are out there appear to be primarily about the film (plot summaries and the like) and discuss the character only within the context of the film and not from the out-of-universe perspective required when writing about fiction.

Fleischbutter is completely unknown in Germany. Most of the References refer to other products. Fleischbutter is as German as the Christmas Pickle. Rôtkæppchen68 19:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

+1. The article is based on a unique recipe to be found on a few websites collecting recipes. The name Fleischbutter was probably invented by the original contributor. No German dictionary lists the term, neither do the printed German cookbooks I know of. This is a clear case of OR and should be speedily deleted. --Jossi (talk) 22:32, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Record label fails WP:GNG, the notability is not inherited from the founders. The label has not released any albums by artists outside of the founders (The LOX). Not to mention the entire article is unsourced. STATic message me! 18:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with The Lox. Alex discussion 20:10, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Lox - Not really much to merge given that it seems their subsidiaries D-Block Europe and D-Block Latino haven't garned much substance and news coverage. My first Google News search found results as did my second and third. However, the record label is better known as the founders' label, using it for their work aside from one now-former client, J-Hood, who also received some news coverage for being signed to this record label but not significant. I don't quite understand "The Next Generation" sentence in the label's Wikipedia article but I found this which seems like a compilation album. Aside from that, there's really not much for an article even to improve it from its current status. SwisterTwister talk 21:18, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with a redirect, if the article was half decent I would support a merge, but there is really nothing significant and sourced for that matter, to merge.STATic message me! 00:09, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article lacks self consistency regarding the company, something indicating that it is bizarre already. The references are not all they are suggested to be either. One leads to a Q Mobile phones for sale site. Delete as disguised advertising and salt as repeatedly recreated. With the current paid editing scandal, is this an article that falls under that category? Fiddle Faddle 18:09, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he broke the rules in the past (and I blocked him for doing so).

  • Comment It appears he technically meets WP:NMMA since he fought for Rings Holland (which was top tier back then), although common sense says it's hard to say he's very notable with 2 lifetime wins in MMA. The article gives, and I could find, no good reliable sources supporting the claims of him being a notable boxer or kickboxer with many international titles and long winning streaks. This looks like a good candidate for WP:COMMONSENSE to override a technical meeting of a notability criteria since he seems to lack the coverage required to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 02:25, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete I agree with Papaursa's comment about using common sense for someone who only won 2 fights. Other claims are completely unsupported.204.126.132.231 (talk) 23:30, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • strong keep via his kickboxing record.Tete is more known for being a kickboxer than a MMA fighter,ive personally seen many of tete's kickboxing matches on tv he fought top kickboxers such as Clyde van Dams and Errol Parris,play it safe on this one because of his kickboxing record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronkoeman44 (talkcontribs) 13:33, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not obtained by who he fought (that's WP:NOTINHERITED). The article has no independent sources so WP:GNG is not met. Do you have sources that show he meets WP:KICK? If so, please add them to the article. This isn't about "playing it safe", it's about meeting WP notability criteria. The burden of proof is on those who claim a topic is notable.

not even a stub of a biography - just a mention of one thing she wrote 25 years ago Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:02, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I started this article today during a training course. The subject was taken from a gender gap list as this was the point of the training - to encourage women to become more involved here. The nomination was made 65 minutes after the article was created and so provides a good illustration of the way that new users get bitten. I had to rush home to attend to a leaky roof but have now spent a bit more time expanding the topic further. I didn't know much about the subject when I started but she appears to have be a fairly prominent pioneer in the field of computer law. This topic is quite relevant to Wikipedia and so we should allow more time for article development and expansion, as laid out in our editing policy. Andrew Davidson (talk) 20:14, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article has been expanded considerably since it was nominated. Nycum is a pioneering computer law scholar and was active in the field's early days, writing, for one, the first study to document and define computer crime. Many sources that could be used to further expand the article can be found at Google Scholar, books, and news; the sources demonstrate that Nycum easily passes WP:BIO through substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources. Gobōnobō + c 22:30, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I have to agree with the others. A casual search on Google News turns up countless articles. Skimming through some of them, I see evidence that she is constantly referred to as an expert, and it should be very easy to create an article on her. The article itself still relies on many primary sources, but it will fill out eventually. I would suggest that Eggishorn withdraw this nomination, as it seems this nomination was premature.

Apparent lack of notability despite the claims about being the world's largest single-brand travel franchise company.

Questionable mathematics that do not show notability, usage or relevancy to a broader usage as to harmonics. It lacks context and if it can be used, should be merged to the harmonics page - but its stand alone or credibility is shaky. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also notice that this particular timbre model (an important concept in psychoacoustics, apparently) inspired a new design of synthesizer.[7] הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 04:31, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I work in the research field where this kind of thing is relevant. As far as I know, not many people use these tristimulus values to represent timbre or harmonics, so I'd agree that there's no particular need for a standalone article. I don't feel particularly strongly either way. I created the article, a few years back, and a couple of systems provided tristimulus as an option so it seemed current, but now I'd say it's not particularly pertinent. --mcld (talk) 19:28, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for the explanation. The fact it is a method and is used helps establish its need for Wikipedia, but I am concerned that as a stand alone article it will do next to nothing. Would you agree that the harmonics or any other page would be a suitable place to include such a short segment? I much rather keep this than delete it, but I know not where it can or should go.

  • Merge to the section Timbre#Harmonics. GScholar produces 10 hits for "Tristimulus timbre" and among those papers are only a small number of researchers. There don't seem to be enough in-depth independent sources to pass notability thresholds. But the model is real and has been used as a convenient low-dimensional representation of the harmonic aspects of a timbre, as in SoniMime. Per WP:PRESERVE, we prefer to preserve verifiable information through merging rather than deletion. I'd recommend merging a short description and a ref verifying to Timbre#Harmonics, which seems the best target given that we have no general article on timbre theory or modeling. --Mark viking (talk) 23:06, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

does not meet WP:GNG and there is not categfor a festival. Possibly WP:EVENT. The sources I could find were simply mentions of bands attending the festival or set-lists of bands at the festival. No significant coverage of the festival itself. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:39, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - There is significant coverage of the festival, such as THIS from Billboard magazine. This is a poorly sourced article, to be sure, but the duration of the event (more than a decade) and its place of importance to a specific musical sub-genre (prog rock) adds value to this piece, in my estimation. Carrite (talk) 05:48, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice that, but lots of festivals have Facebook pages. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:06, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, lots of festivals have Facebook pages, but not many of them can claim a decade of existence. ProgPower is one of the few, if not the only festival of this kind in the US. Due to the difference of media, you aren't going to see much in the way of discussion or advertising as you might with a festival like Wacken ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacken_Open_Air ). With that in mind, I want to know what you are considering a reliable source, in this case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freakchylde (talkcontribs) 01:34, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That which is described at WP:RS is what I consider to describe a reliable source.

Walter Görlitz the discussion is not whether or not the ProgPower USA festival has a facebook page, but rather said facebook page contains a photo album in which photographs appear of numerous print media (from around the world) with articles covering the ProgPower USA festival either on the cover or within. We plan to cite these sources on the wiki page revision. Jenhartley (talk) 17:19, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's different. It looks to me like many of the articles are not substantial though. Most of them are photos of bands that performed at the festival. One appears to be a self-published band biography and, well. I'd like to see the sources up close. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:44, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Incubate. My first instinct was to say "delete", but this link asserts that the film is in post-production and that it should be released this year. I have to say that I have my doubts about this, given that the film's release date has continually been pushed back for the last two years. Combined with the insanely light coverage in the news in sources such as this, this and this, I'm kind of leaning towards this film not releasing this year and probably sitting in limbo forever. There's always the possibility of Malayam language sources, but my experience with Indian films is that the English language coverage is often proportional to the foreign language sources. It's not a rule, but something I've tended to notice as a frequent occurrence. In any case, the mention of it possibly releasing this year is enough for me to argue for a incubation, although I won't argue too hard if it's deleted.

Per WP:NFF: " films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines". AVGN is notable, some other names in the film are notable, but literally 100% of the sourcing is WP:PRIMARY. I could find absolutely zero secondary sourcing, or evidence that the film has yet achieved notability on its own. Maybe once things are actually wrapped up and it gets closer to release, but so far, I'm finding nothing reliable about it.

ETA: Last AFD closed in 2011 with consensus to redirect to the AVGN's main article. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 12:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is enough evidence of WP:Notability for this single station to warrant its inclusion as a stand-alone article.

This article is about a women's footballer that hasn't represented the national team, which means it fails WP:NFOOTY. There are some members of the women's football task force who believe that representing their country at youth international level or appearing in the UEFA Women's Champions League also confer notability, but this individual has not done any of those. The most important, however, is that the subject hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources, which means it fails WP:GNG. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:18, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - She has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:29, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy - Unless article can be expanded with references to meet WP:GNG, userfy it. WP:FPL is incomplete and currently only contains two active women's professional leagues out of numerous top-tier leagues throughout the world so is pretty much irrelevant with regard to articles about women's professional footballers.Hmlarson (talk) 19:42, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per Sputnik. FPL comment from @Hmlarson: is incorrect, this list and the consensus arising from it revolve around fully professional leagues being the required benchmark, not simply players or individual clubs being professional. Additionally whether it is incomplete or not, it reflects the current consensus. That consensus may change, but this is not the forum in which to do so. It is easy enough to resurrect stubs like this should consensus change. Fenix down (talk) 09:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm afraid it's you who is incorrect. By you I mean the four or five editors who police these discussions by following about GiantSnowman parroting "fail NFOOTBALL, fail GNG".

I do not understand why this artist has his own Wikipedia page. I'm from the same town he is from, and I have never heard of him (except for a search of Asian-American hip hop artists on Wikipedia).

Comment I didn't notice any qualifying sources on my first run-through when the article was created, but now I found two, in the New Zealand Herald and the Melville Times. Is two a sufficient number? Yes, having famous people among your customers doesn't confer notability. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:09, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like the typical result of scouring the internet for anything that contains the word Gascoigne and pasting it to the article. I'll leave it to the community to decide if these sources add to notability. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not valid, unfortunately. As previously mentioned, notability is not inherited. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lucy4962, do you have a connection to the company? LibStar (talk) 10:02, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lucy, the issue being discussed here is the notability of the company much more than the verifiability of the claims. Even photos of Kim Gascoigne sharing a pizza with Lady Diana and John Howard at a table set up in front of the company's headquarters wouldn't help with the notability question. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:31, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clarification User:Dan arndt, FYI, factors taken into consideration in assessing notability for a company don't include the quality of its goods, the fame of its customers, or whether it's one of the largest manufacturers of a particular type of product in a particular political subdivision. Factors that are taken into consideration all have to do with whether the topic has attracted note as shown through significant coverage in independent reliable source. The factors you mention may have led to such significant coverage having occurred, in which case the article is includable on account of that coverage, but those factors don't directly establish notability for Wikipedia's purposes. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In a nutshell: "verifiability, not truth" is the basic deciding factor for notability. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:02, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed which is why the references I have added are all from independently verifable sources. Dan arndt (talk) 05:33, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yrs, Dan, but not even all verifiable sources are ones that confer notability. They must have in-depth coverage, and notability is not inherited. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to say that I believe Gascoigne Furniture has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - therefore confering notability. Significant coverage does mean that it has to be the main topic of the source material. Dan arndt (talk) 08:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you meant "does not mean", yes? —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe Sunday Omony is notable enough either as a model or a TV host to warrant a wikipedia article.

As a TV host, she fits none of the criteria listed on WP:CREATIVE:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. - She is the host of a minor talk show on local cable, and does not even appear on her own station's website: http://shaw.ca/ShawTV/Calgary/Personalities/

The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. - No

The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. - No

The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. - No

As a model, she fits none of the criteria listed on WP:NMODEL:

Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. - No

Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. - No

Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. - No Sonofacar (talk) 03:50, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - because from what I can see, she passes WP:GNG with the sources listed in the article. Any suggestion she doesn't? Not only is there coverage of her, there is coverage of the coverage! If she does, she doesn't also then need to pass WP:CREATIVE or WP:NMODEL. Additional criteria are designed to allow those subjects that might not pass WP:GNG to be considered notable for their contributions. A subject need not pass WP:GNG and an occupation-specific criteria. Stalwart111 03:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I was looking at this article the other day and was kind of surprised to see that this character hasn't attracted really any critical attention beyond noting his presence in the franchise. I don't believe a character list is necessary since without reliable sources that discuss the individual characters such a list would only be a rehash of the films' plots.

  • Keep. Even when not up to the minute current, the article can show long term trends, and changes over history. The topic is by itself covered well enough to have its own article, and is an important aspect of our coverage of the topic of operating systems.  — daranzt ] 14:07, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this article seems much more up to date and better sourced than average in this project, although that is not sufficient reason by itself. As above, historical data seems fine, and the OS-specific articles seem to get unwieldy pretty quickly. Although with the divergence in platforms over the past few years, there is a bit of subject creep in this one. Should give benefit of the doubt to keep. W Nowicki (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article is the least out of date for Web clients and Summary (I maintained it for years each month). I agree that we should complete with historical data and not only *spot* data. Should give benefit of the doubt to keep. 20:44, 8 November 2013 (CET) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.232.24.147 (talk)
  • Keep. Even if the article is a bit heavy on statistics and somewhat out-of-date, it can still be fixed. This is a common topic in tech journals, and it would be easy to write an article that went more in-depth. I hate make an WP:ITSUSEFUL argument, but even out-of-date statistics with limited commentary is pretty useful. At the very least, I think the usage stats should probably be merged into the appropriate articles (Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, etc). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:02, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment If it can be re-written to incorporate both long term trends and the most recent data it may prove useful and of interest, at the moment it looks as though large parts are just whatever was the most up-to-date info available at the time, and is now somewhat out of date. I would volunteer to comprehensively re-structure it myself, but I have not been able to find sufficient reliable statistics, not knowing where to look.

There are many people who work together keeping this information as clear and as up to date as possible.

Elementary schools are rarely notable, and the districts which they are a part of are actually less notable, as they are just an office for coordination of the various schools. not every govt org gets an article. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:24, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Although I agree with nominator's assessment of the lack of notability of run-of-the-mill primary schools, l disagree regarding school districts. As the linked Google News archive search shows, these are elected bodies, often with hotly contested races, and they also often place multi-million dollar bond measures on the ballot, often highly controversial. Elementary school and middle school articles are often redirected to school district articles, so these articles help with Wikipedia's function as a gazeteer, which is mentioned specifically in the Five Pillars, our founding principles. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Governments are inherently notable. In the US, school districts are governments and this district has been included in the most recent US Census of Governments (2012). This government will be mentioned in various budgets, educational studies, comparative analyses, and real estate analyses just like every other school district in the US. The baseline coverage of all school districts in the US exceeds Wikipedia notability standards. That erroneous assertions of government non-notability keep coming up seems to be showing a weakness in the guidelines. TMLutas (talk) 08:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Close as keep from nominator. i wasnt really sure what to do with elementary/middle school DISTRICTS, but it seems like they are keepers, esp. to redirect school articles to.

  • Well... a promotional article can always be cleaned up. I'll go through and remove the worst of the promotional prose so we can judge it on whether or not it passes notability guidelines. As far as an article passing AfC, I'll have to warn you Juice that this isn't always a guarantee of passing notability guidelines. It's a little bit of a sore subject on Wikipedia that a lot of articles can pass AfC but not pass the main guidelines for notability. There does seem to be an assertion of notability, but the bigger problem here seems to be a depth of coverage since almost all of the coverage is from a very short period of time. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:52, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/userfy. This did get some coverage, yes, but overall the coverage is fairly light. It spans a very brief point in time and much of the article coverage is brief in nature. A lot of it just repeats the same thing over and over again, which doesn't really give a depth of coverage regardless of how many brief articles you have. For comparison's sake, I'll hold up the AfD for the Ikea Monkey, something which easily received about 2-3 times the coverage that this website has, yet it didn't pass AfD either. The coverage just isn't here. I have no problem with someone userfying this for the time being, but I honestly doubt that this will gain any further coverage. What we have on the article currently seems to be the extent of the coverage in reliable sources and that's really only from a period of about 7 days. The internet seems to have largely ignored this website for the most part. It got attention and some views, but it's nowhere near as big as it'd need to be to really pass WP:GNG. I'd suggest a merge somewhere, but I don't really know any specific article that would really be appropriate. Viral marketing should really only have mentions that are overwhelmingly notable (ie, an article) and I'm a little leery about automatically adding every internet thing to List of Internet phenomena, as that turns it into an unwieldy and unmanageable list. It's not really an internet meme, so it can't be added to that list either. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:25, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOLDIER is irrelevant here - that is really for career soldiers and those whose only claim to notability is in the fighting arm; his notability is as a technical expert in which capacity he served in the forces for part of his career, which his entirely different. --AJHingston (talk) 16:17, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- The article needs wikifying and more detail. I would like to read more about "father of the transistor radio". If true, that alone would make him notable; similarly oversight of radar in Britain in WWII.

  • Weak keep The Hennesy and Brigs sources strongly suggest notability though they are not in depth and and only two. The article contained some serious WP:PUFF calling him a "father of wireless and radio" which no source even comes close to saying, and even if one source did it would not be enough to establish such a massive claim putting him alongside Marconi. In fact the sources seem to portray him as an authority in Britain on the "wireless valve" (whatever that is) and for his journalism work. The article should reflect what the sources say. Contrary to the wet trout, I think the nom was right to look at this one askew considering the condition it was in at the time and the incredulous claim "one of the fathers of wireless and transitor radios" completely unsourced. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:28, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - and continue to fix it. An old aphorism goes, "AfD is not for cleanup." Bearian (talk) 23:07, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
