Maura Healey

keep - Maura Healey also received significant media coverage prior to the 2014 campaign because she led the challenge to the Federal Defense of Marriage Act here are links to her previous media coverage on reputable news outlets. I am the articles creator and have provided a number of these articles as sources on the page. (DOMA)[1] [2][3] [4] [5] Maura Healey also led the fought for legislation to support access to reproductive healthcare through the 2007 Buffer Zone Law and received substantial media coverage from that.[6] [7] [8] These sources are proof of significant media coverage prior to the 2014 election for Attorney General. Zgreenblatt (talk) 19:52, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the Article Rescue Squadron's list of content for rescue consideration.

Press releases from the office the subject works for or from her campaign do not indicate notability. Neither does the Associated Press article [9], which is largely based on a press release from Healey [10]). The news articles either mention the subject only in passing or in the context of one event (the campaign). Also, op-eds written by the subject do not indicate notability. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Associated Press only reports on factual, non-bias news. I do not see why it would not be a legitimate source. If these sources are deleted the page should still be factual considering she has news written about her dating back to 1992. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zgreenblatt (talk • contribs) 16:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also Deborah Goldberg who is running for Massachusetts treasurer has a page but has never held state office before, solely a selectman for Brookline, MA. [11] Joseph Avellone has a page and is a current candidate for Governor of Massachusetts but has yet to be elected. [12]. Maura has participated in numerous national legislative movements and has much press covering this and officially government documents citing her participation. She is more relevant now because of her candidacy but not not known for her candidacy. Maura Healey is credited with being the primary person behind the Attorney General's challenge to the Federal Defense of Marriage Act. She also ran 5 bureaus in the Attorney General office before her resignation. This can be found in multiple news outlets but is all included in this Boston Globe article. [13] If however, there is anything I can do to further prove her notability or improve the page please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zgreenblatt (talk • contribs) 17:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep. I have carefully read the sources and they seem to be legitimate even if information is from a press release. It was still reported in US national news outlet. I do not think that such an individual would run for such an important position if she was an unknown or had no support.

Morellato & Sector orologi, gioielli e idee vincenti by Roberta Paolini, Marsilio, 2008. Originally a leading manufacturer of watch straps[14][15], as of 1995 five million pieces sold every year,[16] starting from 2005 successfully expanded its production in jewelery[17] and watches (placed 17° in worldwide sales of watches as of 2013[18]). Further examples of significant coverage: [19], [20], [21]. Cavarrone 06:11, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above, and also found sources like this one from Google Books: Whole section devoted to history of Morellato (in Italian) here - I checked and it doesn't appear to be a reprint of the Italian Wiki.

Speedy Keep and suggest to withdraw, nominated for deletion a few hours after creation, clearly notable, historical brand since 1750s."Buccellati made jewelry for the royal families of Italy, Spain and Egypt, as well as Pope Pius XI and Pope Pius XII, among others" (from Heritage Fine Jewelry & Timepieces by Jill Burgum, Katie Pierce Johnston and James L. Halperin). The same sources already included in the article suggest some notability. There are several books about the history of the manufacturer: Sylvia Luzzatto, Buccellati. arte senza tempo, 5 Continents Editions, 2008; Martina Corgnati, Mario Buccellati: Prince of Goldsmiths, Rizzoli International Publications, Incorporated, 1999; Vincent-Emmanuel Ragot, Buccellati, Perseus Distribution Services, 2003.

The subject of this article isn't notable.

Keep - The article in question has been referenced using as many independent sources as possible - which include: the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the British Forces Foundation and Burke's Peerage all of which are considered notable organisations (by Wikipedia's standard or otherwise). Whilst notability is not through mere association, one must consider whether: a)Oxford or Cambridge would be granting honours to an individual who is of no note? b)A charity as well known as The British Forces Foundation would appoint as Vice President an individual who is of no note? c)Burke's Peerage would allow the creation of a record (note: the record appears to be a newly created record NOT just a small entry into an existing record) of an individual who is of no note? Therefore the individual, especially as he is being recognised by the above institutions, is notable enough to have a wikipedia article written on him. Ctfn 20:54, 02 April 2014 (BST)

(a) the coverage isn't from the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge, it from colleges associated with those institutions (but legally completely separate), colleges which are notoriously cash-poor (b) I'd never heard of the The British Forces Foundation until I read this article (c) Burke's Peerage website contact page has a suspicious comment about 'paid research'; I believe they've changed their business model recently? Stuartyeates (talk) 07:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the comments above:

a) cash-poor or not, they are still very careful in what they promote - Oxford and Cambridge are (arguably) Britain's top two academic institutions, with a world reputation - and their constituent colleges (whilst separate entities) must still "toe the line" with regards to how they conduct themselves. They are not merely "associated" with the University, but are part of the University itself (no different to Trinity, Clare, Jesus etc. or any other Oxbridge college). My point - the colleges are still well known institutions and (for whatever reason) they have felt fit to recognise the individual of the article and furthermore they have not "tucked him away" but made mention of him on their website and written material. It is also quite clear that the sources were produced by the colleges themselves. If there is enough notability for them, then why not Wikipedia?

b) Just because you have not heard of The British Forces Foundation does not undermine its notability. Indeed it has its own Wikipedia page, which does not appear to have been rejected or deleted (my argument being that, I assume, The British Forces Foundation has passed its own test of notability). Besides, whether or not it is found on Wikipedia, it has received coverage in the British Press, has had associations with a number of celebrities and is a charity probably most familiar to members of the British Armed Forces. (As an aside, the following YouTube link - which whilst it is a promotional video by the charity - should highlight that The British Forces Foundation is not some unknown charity [23]). Again, my point, the individual is not just associated with the organisation (which I hope I have argued is one of note) - he has been appointed as a Vice President (reference to which has been included in the article).

c) Burke's Peerage do appear to offer a paid research service, but from what I gather entry on their records is still rather strict (I also believe this is something they have offered for quite a while - and is more to do with "we need to prove that you are who you claim to be").Ctfn 11:37, 3 April 2014 (BST)

Delete - There is little corroborating information on the web. The term "His Excellency" appears fanciful as it is reserved for the House of Saud, or for those holding senior governmental position - not for any other person. The entire article leaves one feeling that "on the 7th day he rested". If an individual makes charitable contributions to private or public companies and institutions, whether in return for a title or for altruistic reasons, I would imagine that should not automatically make them a person of note. Lonscribe (talk) 04:36, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lonscribe appears to be an SPA as well with no contributions besides this discussion. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 16:19, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments -

a) The use of 'His Excellency' (HE) is by way of the GCMLJ - which is a Knight Grand Cross of Merit from The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. Regarding members of the House of Saud - senior members would actually be referred to as 'His Royal Highness' (HRH) [as with members of the British Royal family], junior members 'His Highness' (HH). I believe that the father (who is a Sheikh) would also be entitled to also use HE.

b) To answer the "on the 7th day he rested" the following reference show him contributing (recently) to St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital: [24]. However, I've not added it to the article as it is merely mention of a contribution.

c) With regards to Lonscribe's comment: If an individual makes charitable contributions to private or public companies and institutions, whether in return for a title or for altruistic reasons, I would imagine that should not automatically make them a person of note. - I would agree with that to some extent BUT if the title or honour is considered noteworthy within a respected and fairly public organisation, then I would argue that there must be an element of notability. I have used the British Forces Foundation as an example in a previous comment, but he has been (and judging by his charity's website - is still being) honoured with positions of respect within other organisations (in fact the GCMLJ is another good example). Famous, definitely not - but I would still argue for his notability.

~~Reconfirm Delete~~

a) In fact there are other sources (such as that on Wikipedia referring to Faisal of Saudi Arabia) that clarify how the term "His Excellency" is reserved solely for members of the Saudi Royal lineage (or senior government officials when holding office), not businessmen, sheikhs or philanthropists etc and certainly not their offspring. In the same way that a British citizen outside of the royal family would never be referred to in English as “HRH”, the term “HE” would never be used to refer inappropriately to someone in Arabic. One notable omission of the article is that this family reputedly originates from Yemen (not of Saudi descent) so could never qualify. The fact that the term "His Excellency" is used inappropriately, reinforces the notion that this is not a suitable article for Wikipedia.

b) I only came across this article during some tangential research. The reason it stuck out compared to other articles on notable persons from the Middle East is that there are no independent, reliable sources of note, it looks "commissioned" and quite self-promotional in comparison. I have no problem with that in principle but as a part-time researcher, the context of an article is paramount so would expect to see such an article on Facebook or a private website, leaving Wikipedia undiluted and largely independent.

c) Yes I see the argument and agree that non-famous people can still be notable. However, that is not the case with this article. There are literally thousands of other Middle Eastern family members of large businesses that do not qualify for Wikipedia (correctly in my view) despite having names associated with global charities and institutions. This article would fall into that category in my humble opinion.

I did not find anything in the biography to suggest he may be an Excellency (or “صاحب سعادة “ in Arabic), which to the best of my knowledge, needs one to be holding certain official positions, none of which seem to have been quoted in the said article. The article looks like it was put together by an editorial team. It is this kind of article that gives the otherwise wonderful Wikipedia site a bad reputation — EARK123 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. Vanispampuffery of the worst kind. Sourcing is atrocious, and I do not think that such peerages and "academic" honors (I'll phrase this delicately) confer notability.

We are trying to get the stubs started so it will be easier for the students to develop them later. If there are suggestions for a better way to go about this, I would like to know, thanks. Baynard (talk) 19:22, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to support your teaching/learning effort. But any article out in "mainspace" is subject to review, i.e. to AFD as here, about whether the topic meets Wikipedia notability standard or not. Not every small business in the Hudson Valley is going to be notable, though I think this one is notable. So either each article needs to have enough sources upfront to establish notability clearly, or you may encounter more AFD processes and have to respond, or you could start the articles in "userspace", e.g. at User:Baynard/Field Apothecary. And only move (which you can do yourself, under Move tab) to mainspace (e.g. to Field Apothecary) when you feel that notability is clear. After a move, the previous location would redirect to the new location. Maybe you could have all your articles indexed, listed, from one userpage, e.g. User:Baynard/Course list of articles. If I were you, i might personally kinda like to develop them in mainspace, so students get to see other editors coming by and adding categories and word-smithing and so on. Usually no one else will contribute to an article in userspace. If you post to my Talk page about any of your stub articles, or point me to a list of them, i would be happy to try to develop them just enough to try to avoid their being nominated for deletion. But even if an article was AFD'd and the decision was to Delete, you could still get a copy of the article "userfied", i.e. put into your userspace, so an AFD process is not that terrible.

OpenMarket Inc.

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

Fails the notability standard WP:COMPANY because OpenMarket has not been the subject of sustained coverage in independent sources. There's tons of press releases and announcements out there in various PR news services like Wireless News or Health & Beauty Close-Up, but when you take away press releases there's nothing left to justify an article. Other coverages is brief notices of things like mergers and acquisitions, e.g. "Open Market to Acquire Folio Corporation". Information Today, Vol. 14, No. 4, April 1997.

Comment There is ongoing suspicious deletion of critical edits occurring on the asmallworld page. Immediately, after I placed this article up for deletion, the primary person who has been maintaining the advertising tone on the page changed the Alexa ranking to reflect a 400,000 place rise for the site. Within hours a bot corrected the ranking back down to below 500,000. The same user has been creating a highly argumentative and accusative atmosphere - consistently deleting material based on 'non-neutral sources' the same sources are used throughout the article in support of advertising biased non-neutral content. (Mostlyoksorta (talk) 01:13, 1 April 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Get real. I have explained the change thoroughly → see: Talk:ASmallWorld#Alexa rank - yet you still choose to make such ill-affected accusations. Early 2012, "asmallworld.net" was ranked, at ca. 6000.
Also, I did not do any content changes, but only reverted original research and synthesis, i.e. restored the status quo ante version (from before the IP edits, see this version) Please note the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which means retaining the status before the bold edit was made and reverted; i.e. "leave the article in the condition it was in before the Bold edit was made". I did offer Mostlyoksorta my help to rewrite the article - instead, the user did choose to continue his/her edit warring and to nominate the article for deletion. Please also see: Talk:ASmallWorld#Edit warring, sockpuppets, WP:OR & WP:SYNTH, proposed deletion of article --IIIraute (talk) 02:53, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can only reiterate that I think this article should either be deleted or kept based on on Wikipedia's criteria, not on whatever personal accusations are being made. As for offers to edit you did that for Faceplant2020 not me. And as far as I can see, Faceplant2020 wrote you back accepting your offer. Whatever happened in the edit history of that article, which clearly includes non-neutral sockpuppeting in the creation of content on behalf of asmallworld, this articles of deletion debate should stick to the facts. (Mostlyoksorta (talk) 10:36, 1 April 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Keep Appears to, at the very least, satisfy WP:GNG, which is sufficient for inclusion. While fairly weak on WP:NCORP, in the end it doesn't matter, since it satisfies the general notability guidelines. It could stand editing for NPOV. I will not comment as to recent edits or anything about Alexa, as it really doesn't matter at this point, at least as far as keep/delete goes. Safiel (talk) 03:34, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In regards to WP:GNG the sources in general only reflect a passing interest, all sources are from the time immediately surrounding the relaunch of the website in 2013, and they are generally consistent with a PR campaign rather then NPOV news reporting. Outside of a one or two month period there are no further NPOV sources.(Mostlyoksorta (talk) 14:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Comment I would refer you to WP:NTEMP. Notability is not temporary. Once a subject has received sufficient coverage in reliable sources, it does not require ongoing coverage. The company received sufficient coverage in reliable sources at the time of its relaunch to establish notability. Once notability is established, it never goes away. I would have to reiterate my keep position. I should note that I have initiated many AfD's and participated in many more, most of the time going with the delete position. But the convergence of the Wikipedia policies of GNG and NTEMP constrain me to a keep position on this AfD. Safiel (talk) 19:37, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for your explanations. I am just wondering how this interacts with the idea of Routine Coverage. There is always a story that fills a paper for a day, based on a press release or whatever. I am not sure that their are any duration or depth of coverage under the notability standards. Anyway, I appreciate all your commentary and thought on this. (Mostlyoksorta (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2014 (UTC))[reply]

True Detective

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

This is the first time I request the deletion of a disambiguation page, but considering WP:DFD never took off, I'm guessing I have to do it here.

Anyway, I think this disambiguation page is an unnecessary hurdle to arrive at each of these 2 articles. WP:HATNOTE clearly applies here.

Now, I guess the obstacle is choosing which article to be located at True Detective while the other gets "hatnote" treatment. I think it's fairly obvious that the TV series article is far more popular than the other article ever was, but I'm open to other arguments. In any case, no matter who gets hatnote treatment, I am still 100% sure that this disambiguation page should be deleted. Feedback ^☎ 17:31, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This deletion seems just another attempt to move a battle from one field to another. There already was a failed move request, consensus was not reached to move the TV series article, and this AfD only seeks to skirt around and disregard that failed move request determination. We don't get to rehash this over and over again, moving the battlefield each time, with new tricks and procedures--such behavior borders on tendentious editing. This disambiguation page is appropriate per WP:TWODABS, and should be kept. --ColonelHenry (talk) 23:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've already answered this silly accusation on my talk page, but I'll answer it here too. I hadn't read TD before today and couldn't care less about renaming the article.

True Detective (magazine) is a stub that refers to completely unrelated magazines that should probably have their own articles if anyone ever wanted to write them.

My argument is that one of the entities, True Detective (magazine) should be a disambiguation page of its own.

Keep 3 valid enties, Boleyn (talk) 16:45, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Despite being a small page, it does what it's suppose to. I agree that most people are probably looking for the TV series, but it still does not negate the magazine, which is probably notable to some older (and perhaps less techno-savvy) users of Wikipedia. What is not entirely clear is whether the same magazine was re-released on two separate occasions or if it is (they are) three different magazines. If the latter is true, then surely the argument to keep this page is only strengthened - as future users may wish to expand the magazine article into three separate articles.Ctfn 15:12, 03 April 2014 (BST)

This is kind of like Tanya Haden, only Mrs. Armstrong has received even less coverage for reasons unrelated to her celebrity marriage than Haden has. Therefore I think this page should be redirected to Billie Joe's. Jinkinson talk to me 15:29, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - remove ALL non-notable coins from premises. Citation Needed | Talk 20:51, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Just a friendly suggestion to give clear reasons for keeping or deleting an article, for example "keep, met gng with 3 articles in scholarly journals". Reviewers weigh the strengths of arguments, rather than just tally up votes. (Note: Mazacoin does not seem to occur in any scholarly journals or books.) Agyle (talk) 23:43, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:GNG based on a significant number of articles in a variety of established media over a one month period. Article is still in bad shape, but can be improved with existing sources. There is some information from the sources seems a little inconsistent (e.g., differences in terminology, inconsistency on "official status", etc.), and these present some challenges in covering the topic, but solutions are possible. As an example, when contradictory information is presented in credible sources, both versions can be presented with in-article attribution. A list of arguably-reliable sources currently used in the article (a couple have trivial-to-minor coverage, but most are primarily about MazaCoin).:

Just to be clear, the claim of "official" is murky (several RSs support it, but The WSJ retracted it), and even the legitimacy of a modern "Lakota Nation" seems controversial, an issue that predates Mazacoin. Agyle (talk) 15:58, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Waddingtons. While BGG is a reliable source, it is merely a singular one, where as establishing notability requires Multiple Reliable Sources. Additionally, the source only establishes that the game exists, but not why it is notable. As the guideline on WP:NOTABILITY states, "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition". As it stands, the single source thus far found only serves to show that the game exists, and the article itself in its present state serves only as a "How to play" guide, without making any claim of notability. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 23:47, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I agree with what 64.183.45.226 said. BGG is a directory of every board game ever published, like a phone book, it just proves existence. The game is not particularly favored (ranks around a 5 on BGG which is pretty low), nor rare, except nostalgia value for anyone who played it long ago. I looked for independent coverage and couldn't find anything.. but there may be sources from the 1960s/70s that are harder to locate. Since the article is somewhat developed in the spirit of PRESERVE this AfD can be a warning and if nothing material has changed by a second AfD I would have to support Delete. --GreenC 03:55, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Worse, it is copied from different editions of the Provincial and District Gazetteers of British India, some from 1912, some from 1931. It has synthesized information. It should be removed from Wikipedia."

The British in England were 30 years ahead of the British in India: the first census of Britain was held in 1841 (to India's in 1871).

Does not seem to be notable, no citations whatsoever, the only claim of notability in the article is how the service is included with Google Earth. The ChampionMan 1234 06:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is based upon the availability of sources, and not whether or not sources are present in articles. Source examples:

Keep While the NASA sources are not independent (this is a Google collaboration with NASA), Northamerica1000's other source finds are independent reliable sources in enough depth to satisfy WP:GNG. The article could use better references, but this is a surmountable problem, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE.

Non-notable performing group; requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Local sources only mention group briefly or do not satisfy WP:GNG/WP:RS. First AFD was closed without any editors' weighing in, and the article still does not meet policy. -- Wikipedical (talk) 03:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not sure why the last AFD wasn't just treated like an uncontested (re-listed twice) PROD but I would have weighed in had I seen it.

Delete While this software technology may be on the rise and eventually clear the notability threshold, so far it seems to be premature to warrant full Wikipedia article status. It looks like much of the "coverage" of it is in an online "magazine" (those quotes are all deliberate) published by the distributor of the software ("published" might warrant quotes as well), which to me is a signal that it lacks inherent notability (the cart is coming before the horse). I could not find multiple instances of significant coverage in independent reliable third-party secondary sources with editorial oversight and broad public distribution/ appeal. Yet.

Delete - software article of unclear notability. The redhat magazine refs are RS coverage, but all by the same author, Len DiMaggio, in the same magazine, and primarily how-to articles. In the absence of additional RS coverage, notability is not established. A search revealed blogs, but no additional RS coverage.

Mild delete. I haven't followed the Whoniverse debate referenced above. I have, however, met Tat Wood on many occasions. This probably is sufficient bias for me not to contribute here! But, FWIW, I struggle to see how this article merits inclusion. There are no citations provided which are about Tat from a biographical perspective: this article can never expand beyond a stub because no such citations exist. The article has three citations: (1) is by his publisher, (2) says he edited a fanzine (does it say anything more than that?), and (3) is a fanzine article he wrote reproduced in a book of fanzine articles. That does not meet WP:GNG. The idea he meets WP:AUTHOR #1 presumes Dr Who fandom is a sufficiently large scholarly community for this to apply, and then you have to argue that Tat is considered an important figure in that community. Both of those seem very debatable to me. There are, I'm sure, several reviews and citations of the About Time series, but then have an article on them. But maybe age has turned me into a deletionist. ((Disclosure: I was also notified of this AFD by User:41.132.48.255. I don't know who this is, and I wonder whether they thought I'd rush here to say "keep"!) Bondegezou (talk) 19:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- PS: Referring to "Doctor Who and Philosophy and the works of Phil Sandifer" or the About Time series as scholarly, it seems to me, is pushing the definition of "scholarly". Doctor Who: The Unfolding Text is scholarly. About Time, Doctor Who and Philosophy and Sandifer's writings are popularisations targetted at a fan audience.

Tanya Holland

Not yet notable , and so highly promotional that it needs to be deleted and started over in any case. As for notability: she has written one book, found in 124 libraries a/c Worldcat, which is trivial for an important cookbook. (There's another due out in 2014, mentioned prominently in the introduction, and perhaps the advance publicity for it is not unrelated to the appearance of this article.) She's made many talk show appearances, and worked in a great variety of restaurants, some of them well-known. I do not see that she is principally responsible for the cuisine of any notable restaurant. Most of the prizes are very minor, and local, tho I will admit local prizes in SF have a relatively high value, as local prizes go.

As for promotionalism, besides an early biography suitable more for someone of much greater renown, is the inclusion of the recipes she has reprinted elsewhere and her talk show appearances, and all the magazines she has written articles for. It includes the names of all the more famous people and places for whom she has worked--a technique usually called name-dropping.

Accepted by AfC, as is common for this type of article. When I urge the deletion of such articles, I try not to just say "non-notable and promotional" in general terms, but to give specifically the lack of indications of notability , and the specific indications of promotionalism DGG ( talk ) 01:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - What she did is not important, it is her notability that is needed to be proven. I simply followed the Google link provided and discovered several articles that are about her from such reliable sources such as the San Francisco Gate, Food and Wine magazine and others. She has also been featured on Oprah, CBS, PBS and other networks. These aren't reprinted recipes, but articles and interviews about the woman. Those sources easily establish notability.

2014 Boston Brownstone Fire

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

Per WP:NOTNEWS, there are thousands of residential fires around the world each week. No reason at all that this, albeit tragic, event is desrving of an article. Step hen 01:00, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not seeing a reason this relatively minor fire(if tragic due to the loss of the firefighters) should have an article of its own; no large numbers of casualties, and no widespread or significant damage(like a large portion of a city being damaged). 331dot (talk) 01:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fires that kill a couple of people are, unfortunately, very common. There will no doubt be lots of press coverage at the moment in the area concerned, but this is not an event of enduring notability. I would not object to a redirect as proposed above, however. Neljack (talk) 02:30, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What is it that the Yarnell Hill Fire has that this one doesn't? And don't give me that "Otherstuffexists" bullshit, there's no question that the Yarnell Hill fire article is notable. Is it just that this was a routine, ho-hum, run of the mill nine-alarm house fire that just so happened to kill 2 firefighters, hospitalize 16 other people and prompt the city of Boston to hold the firefighters' funeral? And if it's so common, why didn't any other Boston firefighters die on the job in the preceding five years? Now to be clear, I'm very much on the fence with regard to notability here, and would probably be OK with a redirect as proposed above. However I'm not convinced by all these editors whipping out their crystal balls and then declaring that people will forget about this in a few weeks or so. Also, the stories compiled at this link should debunk any claims that this hasn't gotten much coverage outside "the area concerned." Jinkinson talk to me 02:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A significantly higher death toll. Neljack (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Yarnell Hill Fire has a great deal of analysis in secondary sources. Abductive (reasoning) 15:34, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's absolutely ignorant to question whether to delete an article based on the casualties in other words how many people died. Even though Im the one who created this article I support Jinkinson with, its very unlikely for a Firefighter to die on the job. Like he said its been five years since a death before this fire. Also I support in keeping this article because even though theirs fire's every week around the world, its unlikely for a Firefighter to die and if so would gain as much publicity as this article would. User:EK728 3:11, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

It is not "ignorant"; casualties are an indication of notability. If every residential fire with two deaths merited an article, we would have thousands more articles. I am not opposed to a redirect. 331dot (talk) 04:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as Nate says. G S Palmer (talk) 04:02, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This fire has received more attention than any other Boston fire in the last 8 years(trends link just 1 source out of many possible). This will continue to be in the news as investigations are undertaken and reports are issued. After some considerable cleanup I believe this article will have considerable encyclopedic value like the majority of other fire articles on Wikipedia, providing information on what went wrong here and how it can be avoided in the future. It's comparatively small sure, but so are most 'disasters' that the US focuses intensely on for very long periods of time. It will also probably have to be moved to Beacon Street Fire instead of Brownstone Fire. It can always be deleted later if it truly fizzles out. Varixai (talk) 05:07, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This fire is not even close to the scale of those fires. 331dot (talk) 11:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Boston Fire Department#Beacon Street Fire, this fire has had an impact yes but there is nothing I can see being notable other than news coverage. As stated above around the world there are many fires with sad outcomes and although built in 1889, the brownstone is not labeled as historical but will be saved. Nothing in the reliable sources given stands out as being notable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 11:23, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Changed my opinion to keep based on User:Jinkinson's finding, see my comment below. Coverage has been ongoing for days now. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect, tragic and of local interest does not mean it deserves an article. Abductive (reasoning) 15:31, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ONEEVENT. The notion that the article could be deleted if it "truly fizzles out" is exactly backwards: the subject might qualify for an article, a few years down the road, if it stands the test of time. It's hardly callous to point out that there are many fires, around the world, in which firefighters die. Boston alone has nearly a hundred and fifty occasions when firefighters have died in the line of duty, according to the BFD website. Should this subject gain an enduring impact -- and we can't tell that for a year or two -- the issue can be revisited then. Ravenswing 20:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it has nothing to do with millions of residential fires happening every week. Its more to do with the fact that is WP:NOTNEWS. Whilst the loss of life is regrettable there's nothing substantial in this article, plus parts of it look paraphrased. → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 22:43, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Very sad, but where's the WP:LASTING significance? As others have noted, events like this are common in firefighting. Tragic for those affected, but not unusual enough to meet WP:EVENT. --BDD (talk) 19:53, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have added a section to this article (the funeral section), so I think that now, there is something substantial in this article. Also, I thought it might be helpful to put the two deaths caused by this fire into further perspective by noting that 22 firefighters died in 2012 during fireground operations.

Keep Some of you guys made an article bout some shooting at Fort Hood today, four dead. This one has two dead.

Keep - it is an unusual fire that has received unusual amounts of attention as indicated by the sources and comments above. At worst, it is a case for merge+redirect - certainly no reason for the fire not to be covered at the department's page. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:31, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the story continues to receive wide national (and not just local and regional) attention than is typical for stories of this type. E.g. here is a sample of national coverage just for today: LA Times [32], Wash Post [33], CNN[34], FoxNews[35], etc. Also, apparently this event has already lead to a change in the Massachusetts legislation, see [36].

California Children's Services

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

Notable, even tho a single state. But entirely promotional in style:i t exactly resembles what the program might want as a press release.:No outside sources--everything is from the department.

Talks only about their success, not on any lack of success--one would assume all the programs did 100% of what they were supposed to. Emphasis on exact eligibility requirements--these details are relevant only for prospective enrollees,not general readers. Talks about details of funding and exact differentiation from allied programs in bureaucratic detail, listing each state code section. Some things are missing: information about the basic question of how the services are actually delivered: do they fund existing health service, fund new ones, provide specific programs, provide health care directly; public acceptance, or any information showing uptake or effectiveness.--but those are probably the main things the public might want to know.

The distinction between encyclopedic writing and promotionalism is that promotionalism writes about what the organization want to say, but encyclopedic writing is about what the public might want to find out in an encyclopedia.

Finally, written in bullet points, not paragraphs, and ending in a optimistic but out of date section about prospects for the future. DGG ( talk ) 00:00, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. Notable, sourced. DGG, i like your seeking to have articles improved, but shouldn't this just be tagged for improvement. I'm not sure how you can bring it to general attention. Perhaps a post at WikiProject California? But then most WikiProjects are pretty dead now. It is not for AFD participants to do the improvement, though. --do ncr am 17:00, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
