Article includes Facebook, AllMusic, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Vimeo as sources, all of which fail WP:IRS. The remaining two are good but there is simply not enough outside of it online. WP:MILL. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. The Guardian is not chopped liver, and to have been featured in Andy Warhol's Interview magazine indicates it is among "some of the world's biggest celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers" (what Wikipedia says). That's no high school garage band. --doncram
- Keep - I found a couple of 2013 articles: Rebel Rock and Indie Pop and Dance s Headline Milk Festival via Questia (subscription required) in the Sarasota Herald Tribune that mention this band being the headliner at the Harvey Milk Festival in Sarasota. From 2014 is the sfgate (Hearst Communications) review of the band style. This article was just started. I think we should give them time to develop the article. — Maile (talk) 00:08, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment – @Mr. Guye: Note that per WP:NEXIST, "notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". North America1000 20:58, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Northamerica1000: WP:NEXIST was what I meant by "simply not enough outside of it online". But nevertheless, it seems an adequate amount of reliable, significant coverage was found, so I'm withdrawing my nomination. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:43, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. This company is hugely notable in the software space and start-up world, considered a huge success and powering many other businesses. Just for one peek at this, see their page on CrunchBase. They are notable enough that over twelve hundred *users of Crunchbase* have starred or favorited this company, for example. Stripe is also referred to as a success story, making it something that readers will want to look up on Wikipedia for years into the future. Here is an example I just read, by chance, today: (analysis of why Parse is closing down — mentions Stripe as a success story). --X883 (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC) — edited for formatting / explicit vote --X883 (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete and I would've nominated it myself also as the current coverage and overall article seems questionable for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 22:56, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Notability in "the software space and start-up world" doesn't equal notability in the greater world. Wikipedia is not a business directory. This company is not remarkable in any way and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Chisme (talk) 05:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. while the current article text isn't particularly compelling, I feel the topic is sufficiently notable Cariaso (talk) 08:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree with Cariaso that the current article text is questionable, but there exist more than enough reliable, independent sources that the topic meets the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. (I once added a reference to an essay by Paul Graham that discusses Stripe and implies that Stripe is remarkable,[1] but later someone deleted that reference.[2]). --DavidCary (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep The absence of references in an article does not indicate that a subject is not notable. If significant coverage can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate. Notability is not temporary, it does not need to have ongoing coverage, in this page we have ongoing coverage. It has attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time.

This article is in a very bad condition. It is full of trivia and is rather unencyclopedic. Some of the sections are completely unsourced. It was nominated once before, but no improvements have been made since early 2008. DodingBeast (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep While the article does need major help, the subject meets the notability guidelines. Opencooper (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep As stated the subject is extremely well covered in reliable expert sources, and has been since the very birth of anime fandom. There is more than enough sources already attached to show this. The issues of content itself can all be largely resolved by simply removing entire blocks of material so we can assess what is left. As much as we could nuke it and start again, we can also start that process by hacking away at the material which is causing the issue. I'm pretty sure I can do that first part at least.SephyTheThird (talk) 23:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- I've started the process, however I can only do so much on a tablet so will continue later. I'm being quite aggressive, some things I recognise and can be sourced but leaving them in just in case they get fixed later wouldn't be solving the issue. I'll see about leaving a list on the talk page of possible additions.SephyTheThird (talk) 23:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Article is now almost half the file size. I've removed a lot of the obvious trivia, statements supported by fansites and statements making obvious WP:OR comparisons and conclusions. There is surely more that could come out but it's no longer excessive and will naturally be changed through development of that page. I'll look into some source articles for long term editing but this article was fairly easy to start cleaning up. There is no need to delete it.SephyTheThird (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Apparently MCL is a tournament for "retired cricketers" and according to main article The players must all have been former international cricketers. So it seems like it is just an exhibition tournament with not enough notability for season articles. The notable content can be included in main article. Qed237 (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- The notable content (not all content) could be kept in the main article. Like a table of winners and runners-up. Qed237 (talk) 12:20, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: What is the point of creating an individual article for a season in a sports league that consists of entirely retired players. These guys are no longer professional and these games don't have any major significance past this tournament. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 06:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Retired players meaning that the players are not available in international arena only. Most of players are still active in domestic tournament like Indian Premier League and Big Bash League. Tournament organisations are hoping to continue in next year too. So I stand with keep the article. (Price Zero (talk) 07:29, 6 February 2016 (UTC))
- Keep The tournament has become quite popular. The article will provide useful infomation to the cricket fans.--সাজিদ রেজা করিম 16:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep While I agree with some of the nominator's concerns, this is getting significant international coverage, and easily meets our notability criteria. Harrias talk 14:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Merge: My initial thoughts on this are that it should be merged into the Masters Champions League. To clarify a point above, GreenCricket says it is a "10 year tournament". To be specific, the organizing committee has been granted a 10-year licence. This is the first season and there is no guarantee there will be a second. Until such point in time that there are multiple tournaments each with their own coverage, then there is no purpose in having separate articles. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:12, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- If merge article it'll be used more space. And it can be difficult to understand useful point.(Price Zero (talk) 09:52, 8 February 2016 (UTC))
- Are you sure? Look at the current contents of Masters Champions League. The only things different/not in the "2016" article are the lead, 5 sentence of history and the 8 "key people". Merging that small amount of information with the 2016 article will not be "difficult to understand" if done properly. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 09:59, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- No one can predict about future of any league..if league disestablished then merge it like it happens with Champions League T20 GreenCricketTALK 11:00, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- You have it the wrong way around. We should have it merged first because right now there is only one league; there is no prediction involved in making that statement. Then, we can split in the future if there is too much information to be contained in a single article. Working on an assumption that there will be ten seasons just because there is a contract for ten years violates WP:CRYSTAL. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Contested PROD. If not a hoax, this is totally non-notable. "WHA" was said in early versions to be the "World Hacker Association", about which I can find no reference but this content-less page. The link provided goes to Computerworld, where I find no mention, even when you search the site, of WHA, or of Muhammad Aanish Ayaz, the supposed winner. Searches found a list of Top 10 Pakistani Hacker Teams, but it bears no relation to this.
The article history shows a number of IPs tinkering with the names on the list and their order, which strongly suggests that there is no official announcement, just a bunch of guys playing games. The supposed winner, who was only second in the first version of the article, has been trying to post about himself here at Muhammad Aanish Ayaz Farrukh and User:Aanish Ayaz.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This group of Japanese 4-cylinder, 250 cc four stroke motorcycles, including the FZR250, Honda CBR250, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-2R, Suzuki GSX-R250, Suzuki GSX250FX, Kawasaki Balius, and Yamaha FZX250 have hung around with notability questions for 5+ years. We have passing mention in sources like a 200-word Cycle World (August 1991, p.39) sidebar that verifies only that a bike exists, but tells us virtually nothing about it. Without sources to base the content on, we have nothing but original research and questionable info cribbed from fansites and forums. These bikes have been a subject of fascination, no doubt, but the existence of these Wikipedia articles implies a level of reliability to the data that is unjustified. Better readers should google this information in a forum post, or personal we page and caveat emptor.
It looks to many editors that our policy is to create one article per motorcycle ever made, and it's understandable why you would think that. @The Bushranger: has said "Per long-standing WP:CONSENSUS, individual models of motor vehicles are notable provided they meet WP:V." I'm not sure if they still feel that way, but it is a reasonable point of view. The problem is I can't find any basis in policy or guidelines for that, and the problems it creates -- having many motorcycle articles with zero reliable sources -- are best solved by either deleting or redirecting to List of Yamaha motorcycles etc.
My previous search for AfD consensus on this issue is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yamaha FZ700, where from what I can tell, motorcycles must meet WP:GNG just as much as a toaster or hamburger stand, i.e. WP:PRODUCT. If not, how would that work, exactly?
By the way, a few years ago Motorcycle Consumer News wrote a long feature about the Japanese graduated licensing system that was responsible for the existence of these 33kW-limited learner bikes. That subject, the licensing scheme and its effect on JDM motorcycles, would be a good article topic, though again with woefully little reliable information about the actual bikes themselves.

However, I'm not sure how applicable it would be to motorcycles - they're a bit out of my experience area and, while Yamaha certainly doesn't qualify as such, are a lot easier for "one guy in a garage" to churn out a few for his buddies, as opposed to an automobile, so...

- 1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. “The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates.”
- According to [3], he has one publication cited 580 times, three publications cited more than 100 times, and 112 publications. His h-index is 24, which is particularly significant.
- Alexandru Dimca is a distinguished mathematician according to [4].
- This source [5] says : Alexandru Dimca, s-a remarcat prin cercetările sale de vârf în domeniul geometriei algebrice. Este astăzi un matematician şi un profesor cu reputaţie internaţională, invitat în mari centre de matematică ale lumii să facă cercetare sau să ţină conferinţe. Publicaţiile sale i-au adus numeroase premii şi burse de cercetare (translation : Alexandru Dimca was noted for his research in algebraic geometry. Today he is a mathematician and a professor of international reputation, invited the world's great centers of mathematical research to make or keep conferences. His publications have brought numerous awards and fellowships).
- 4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. “Criterion 4 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education.”
- His books Sheaves in topology and Singularities and topology of hypersurfaces are very highly cited, and usually used in algebraic geometry courses in University (three examples [6][7][8]).

- Keep. GScholar gives an h-index of 24, which is comfortably above the level we generally accept for mathematicians, particularly in a highly theoretical area like algebraic geometry, as satisfying WP:PROF#C1. While GScholar can sometimes be overgenerous in what it counts as a citation, experience in theses AfD discussions suggests that the most reliable citation counters (to which I do not bave access) are very unlikely to give an h-index low enough (distinctly below 20 in this field) to change my judgement.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is about a skirmish that happened in Sikkim between Chinese forces and Indian forces. It is one of many skirmishes that are reputed to have happened during this time. The article is portraying the skirmish as some sort of great military victory battle of the Indians over the Chinese with 350 Chinese killed and 450 wounded, when in reality according to a neutral source [9] on page 197 the casualties are as followed: 36 dead for India and an unknown dead for China. This number is from Taylor Fravel who is an MIT professor as mentioned here [10]. I therefore do not think it meets notability requirements as specified here WP:Notability to warrant its own article. It is already mentioned over here China–India_relations#1960s and here Sino-Indian_War#Later_conflicts and having its own article appears to be an attempt to rehash materials from other articles to promote the same idea again and again. Similarly, I do not think the case of it being advertised as a great Indian victory is warranted and violates WP:NPOV since the sources that are making such claims are largely Indian, whereas a more neutral source here [11] on page 103 claims that the result was a ceasefire, not an Indian victory. Since the entire article revolves around this idea of it being some sort of great military battle victory for India, it should be deleted as the article violates WP:NPOV. The sources are also primarily Indian and attempts to introduce more neutral and academic sources in December 2015 did not amount to much. I think due to the lack of neutral sources and total lack of Chinese sources (and near full reliance on Indian sources), this article again violates WP:NPOV. Upon searching for material on the conflict, the majority of sources are non-neutral and non-academic. The few academic sources that do make mention of it, barely mention it, or simply focusing on the bigger picture. Due to the lack of overall neutral and academic sources available, this article not only violates WP:Notability, but it also becomes very difficult to adhere to WP:NPOV and therefore should be deleted altogether and mention of the incident should be left within the articles mentioned above. Xtremedood (talk) 19:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, tentatively. The fact that the incident is linked from two major articles suggests that having one treatment in a separate article is worthwhile. Expanded information can be provided just in this article, and the mentions can be brief. Mention in China–India_relations#1960s is basically 5 sentences (which may be reduced), and the mention in Sino-Indian_War#Later_conflicts is 1/2 sentence. Deletion of the article would mean that each of those mentions should be expanded because they must be self-contained, I guess, which is not what the nom would want.
- It being advertised as a great Indian victory is something to state in the article, and is all the more reason to provide an article that will debunk the propaganda. An apparent bias in numerous sources does not mean the item is not notable, and in fact it makes it more notable, perhaps: the fact of disagreement of views/sources can and should be mentioned and explained. The view of the Indian military should be clearly identified as that. The apparent assertion of different numbers (and perhaps "ridiculous" numbers) in India's parliament seems worth mentioning (from the Talk page: "claims of 88 Indian dead and 300 Chinese dead comes from an Indian Defense Minister, see here [7] at parliament...").
- Can't the article be developed using sources appropriately? The nom refers to numerous sources and seems to accept at least one source as unbiased, and even biased sources can provide non-controversial detail that is helpful. I see that the article was edit-protected for some period and that there is much discussion of sources at the Talk page that seems to suggest that some reliable sources exist (at least stating that the official Indian view is X, while an official Chinese view is not available).
- An incident in which 36 (the lowest estimate for India) plus unknown number of Chinese (perhaps 2X) are killed seems significant to me, especially if this outside of a proper war. There are extensive articles about incidents in the U.S. West where just a few were killed, for example.
- I agree with the nom's identification of problems in the article as it is now. It should be improved, but "AFD is not for cleanup" (wp:AFDISNOTCLEANUP), and the Talk page discussion was sort of working, I believe. --doncram 20:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Just to make mention of the two articles, the first one [12] references the incident alongside the Nathu La incident and refers to it as simply as a "clash" whereas the second source here [13] too references the incident alongside the Nathu La incident and states that a multitude of various incidents, skirmishes, and clashes have happened around that area and the Himalayas region. I still think that notability should be considered, as a minor clash among many similar clashes does not, in my opinion, warrant its own article. Xtremedood (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- The pair of incidents were important and stand out from the much more numerous number of border incursions (60? 150?) in that period. I don't know but gather from context that the others were perhaps just patrols which went over an asserted boundary, and might have involved some gunfire, but no deaths and few or no injuries? I see that the two incidents are mentioned together (usually? almost always?). It seems the total of deaths across the two incidents is what matters. And I see that Nathu La incident does not exist as an article, it is just a redirect to the section in major article China-India relations. So how about change this article to cover the two, together: rename it to Nathu La and Cho La incidents (currently a redlink)? The major China-India relations article should not (and doesn't) include tactical-level detail about what happened within each of the incidents (like names of officers, and acts of heroism, or specific small advances and retreats, and so on), but this combo article could. Is some such detail available? [Yes, e.g. at China's Shadow Over Sikkim: The Politics of Intimidation pages 193-195, which reports based on Indian sources about Chinese soldiers approaching "feature 15450" (which we could probably pinpoint in a geolink) and so on, and reports on what a Chinese diplomatic "Note" (which must be available in full somewhere) about a Chinese commander shouting over the border about 5 bodies, etc., and what China's "The People's Daily said on October 8, etc.] It would be useful to let the reader understand what is being termed merely an "incident" or a "clash", vs. a fighting "skirmish" or a "military conflict". Consider that what the U.S. calls an incident, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, apparently involved naval gunfire but no U.S. deaths and possibly 4 North Vietnamese deaths (and is covered in Wikipedia in detail involving ship names and officer names). What some call an "incident" on the China-India border is a lot bigger, it seems to me. So: combo? --doncram 22:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- And here's great detail about Natha Lu, like Indian general Sagat Singh reportedly having "fortitude" and refusing to obey a command to withdraw, which was appreciated two years later, and various officers and the laying of a barbed wire cable, etc., etc.. See Similar account by Maj. Gen Sheru Thapliyal (and same here covering "martyrdom" of Indian soldiers under machine gun fire, but Indian artillery observation posts being superior, at Nathu La, and less about Cho la. I find detail by googling "Indian officer Nathu La" and similar phrases. You might argue the detail is not important, but to the Indians apparently it is, and to them the idea that they "bloodied the nose" of China is important, and the incidents are notable because the Indians think it is notable, in effect. Compare to the Americans' idea that Battle of Bunker Hill (where 226 British and approx 140 colonials were killed) was a really big deal bloodying nose of Britain, when that was a tiny incident relative to many European battles, say. --doncram 23:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Editors are expected to check if more reliable sources exist before considering a deletion. I found Independent Newspaper, The Latest News, Safari News, [Daily post, The Lead, Leadership newspaper, The Nation Newspaper, Leadership Newspaper, The Nation Newspaper, Leadership Newspaper, Ventures Africa, Leadership Newspaper, Vanguard Newspaper, CNN iReport, Vanguard News to mention few. I understand that the older version is shambolic but WP:AfD is not for cleanup and it is better to do this than to spend more time and energy on deletion discussion.

- Loriendrew, the fact that a subject do not have an article on Wikipedia does not make it non-notable. There are millions of notable topics out there and the fact that someone have not written about them here does not simply means they're not notable. Looking at this thread, I don't see where anyone argued that she passes WP:ACADEMIC. She obviously meet WP:GNG per significant coverages in multiple independent reliable sources. I couldn't verify the claim of "Professorship" and I've removed it for now per WP:V. You said the sources provided are unreliable. How are they unreliable?

- Keep - I'm in agreement with much of the above arguments. The degree to which, as of right now, the article needs systematic cleaning up is troubling.

- Keep, tentatively pending some general discussion, or merge to a suitable list-article. Note there are more than 40 restaurants in the chain, as can be found by Google map search or by zooming out from the restaurant chain's locations webpage. And the chain is primarily French-speaking apparently, and coverage of it will be mostly in French language publications which tends to be less easy for us to find and interpret. I appreciate the nom's implied assertion that they looked for sources, but I expect that we just haven't found sources that do exist.
- What is notability for restaurants is a big unsettled issue I believe, where I think a clear standard (like the standard allowing high schools where existence is documented) is needed. For example a restaurant chain having 20 or more branches should be presumed notable, I suggest.
- Note many American restaurants with just one or two branches already have articles; I believe that non-American and especially non-English-speaking chains should have roughly equal standards. A chain of this size (>40) in the United States would have no problem being accepted as obviously notable.
- In general the situation of new editors creating articles only to have them deleted by AFD as here, for vague reasons, is bad...it turns off potential good contributors. So there should be leeway given, if this is a new contributor (but I see that is not the case, this was created in 2010 by an editor who eventually was banned, in 2013).
- Elsewhere (at Talk:List of pizza chains of the United States (where I mention this AFD), I propose a standard that a chain of 10 or more should generally be deemed notable for inclusion as an item on that list. The same reasoning applies here about separate article notability: a chain of more than 40 restaurants as here surely has coverage existing (though not yet presented), and this article should be kept.
- If the decision were nonetheless going towards deletion, then merger/redirect to a suitable list-article that can include this chain as a list item would be better. That would be List of Canadian restaurant chains, which by the way includes an item with no footnote and just 12 outlets (Vern's Pizza), and an item with 25 outlets supported only by footnote to the chain's own webpage (Mr. Mike's). Actually merge/redirect to there would be okay by me as a quick resolution, leaving proof of sources until later, when the redirect could be restored to be an article with its edit history intact.

- Delete the article seems to be built from the four books listed in the bibliography section. But when I searched those books, Tucker's name only comes up, at most, four or five times in each of them, which I would characterize as a trivial mention. The only other mention I turned up online is the Times-Picayune article, which isn't about him, but is about Tucker's daughter. Tucker himself only merits a mention early on. I don't think there is anything in here to suggest any particular notability - he seems to have been a mildly successful businessman who was involved in the community - nor is there enough reliable sources to create a page.

Not finding significant coverage of the novel in anything but blog posts. Would welcome an attempt to rescue -- but not seeing a good way to do that. Sadads (talk) 23:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Likely Keep: It's almost certain to meet WP:BKCRIT#1. It was apparently a NYT Bestseller, and as a relatively WP:OLDBOOK (1989) that has had at least 30 editions (including many foreign translations), lack of visible RS English-language reviews doesn't mean no RS reviews. Blurb snippets quote Affaire de Coire magazine ("Wonderful!... Judith McNaight is truly the spellbinding storyteller of our times.") as well as something named Rendezvous ("one of the best ever"). Romantic Times gives it 5 stars. Additionally an independent blogpost from a sufficiently notable author or reviewer should still be considered reliable as a source of professional opinion against BKCRIT#1, for instance Sarah MacLean's post. ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 11:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete unless more can be done to establish notablity. If there are sources which show it to be a bestseller, add them. I don't think WP:OLDBOOK applies to a work as recent as this. Although this may not strictly be relevant to its notability, the article makes it sound like a load of hokum, it's not clear which English invasion of Scotland it is set during, it can't be set in the Wars of Scottish Independence if King Henry VII of England is a minor character. PatGallacher (talk) 14:15, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- 'Comment Per PatGallacher, I am not completely convinced of OLDBOOK: 1989 isn't fully in the digital blackhole of internet coverage for sources. I tossed this article out there, because we need the sourcing to be integrated. @Hydronium Hydroxide: integrate what you find, and we can see who else scrapes together sourcing.

- Comment: I found the NYT list mention and the RT review would count as usable. This is a good start, but I'd like to see at least 1-2 more sources before this would really be a keep on my end. Redirecting is likely the best outcome here, since that would make it easier to restore if more sources can be found. It seems like there should be more sources out there, but this is never a guarantee, especially as during this time period romances tended to get passed over for review and in-depth coverage because they were seen as "silly" or "frivolous". (This actually still happens nowadays...) As for the blurbs from other places, we'd have to see the review in question to make sure that the review is usable, because sometimes a blurb is just a promotional blurb written specifically for the book jacket. It looks unlikely in this case that it's just a blurb, but we still need to be able to verify this. Now when it comes to author reviews, that's tricky since we need to be able to make sure that there's no connection between the two (ie, friends or they share an agent or publisher). If we can show that there's no strong connection, then I'd consider her a RS in this situation, given the amount of awards and other accolades she's received and that the review is a review and not just a blurb. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:15, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- McNaught's publisher for the Westmoreland Saga is Pocket (Simon and Schuster) while MacLean is Avon (HarperCollins). Showing that there's no strong connection is kinda proving a negative, but MacLean also credits McNaught (but not KOD) here, her list of faves are here, and a quick search of their names together doesn't throw up any flags. As an additional source, Romance: The History of a Genre from Dana Percec (a Dean at West University of Timișoara) includes a lot on KOD including (titter ye not) "Table 1-4: Features of the sex scenes in Judith McNaught's A Kingdom of Dreams". ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 13:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Two other author sources: Elle Daniels (not NYT bestseller but published by Forever=Hachette), and this interview with NYT bestseller Tanya Anne Crosby who's primarily with Avon (authorsinterviews appears reliable for the purpose). ~~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~~ 14:09, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment, Buffalo library lists a short review by the School Library Journal here - [17] - "Judith McNaught, now best known for her soft romantic suspense, created an iconic dynasty in the romance genre. While the Westmore-lands were featured in only three historicals, the family's impact in romance fan circles was huge. Set in the 15th century, Kingdom of Dreams .., the first book in the series, is filled with McNaught's trademark mix of lush romance and horrible conflict." so it may just squeak over (or to be more romantic, soar majestically:)) over the notablitiy line? Coolabahapple (talk) 14:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Insufficient notability for this project, fails WP:ARTIST. Article created by an indef-blocked editor with a history of fabrication and suspected hoaxes (see, e.g., this and this). The two sources in the article do not have any relevance whatsoever to this person (they are about Carlo Carrà and Francesco Hayez respectively); the references were copied from Brera Academy, where they were originally added by me with this edit in 2014.
Carcupino wrote and illustrated a cartoon in Sgt. Kirk in 1969. He gets one hit on Scholar (a passing mention in a bachelor's-level thesis), 0 hits on JSTOR, is not in Grove Art or Benezit. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:10, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep There are a lot of books, albeit not in English. This is a case of systemic language bias, and one of GIGO. If you search the books in other languages your notability concerns will be assuaged. WP:Before seems to cover this. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:56, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- No, 7&6=thirteen, this is not a case of WP:Before, and your accusation of systemic language bias is close to being offensive. Obviously I reviewed the few gbooks sources (they're mostly the same as those in the bibliography of the article) before nominating this and, as you can see, reported in my nomination the only remotely notable fact I found in them (a story in Sgt. Kirk). I didn't trouble to report, for example, that between the ages of 14 and 17 Carcupino participated as an avanguardista (a kind of Young Fascist) in a plastic modelling competition reserved for students of Istituti d'Arte and Accademie di Belle Arti. He appears to have been, as the Romanian source says, one of the Gruppo di Venezia, the (fairly large) group of draughtsmen around Hugo Pratt. So please, tell me this: which of the statements in the article are substantiated by the many sources you found? In how many of those sources did you find in-depth coverage of this person, his life and his work? Did you find the two references in the article at all useful in establishing his notability? Or would you care to revise your comment? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Not an accusation. Sorry that you took it as such. I simply have a concern that we are looking at English language sources, and that is a systemic bias. If you don't input the right name in the right language and format, it is easily possible we are missing sources that could develop the article. Indeed, there are lots of sources already listed, although I observe that the in line citations here are dismally bad (i.e., absence, poorly formatted). I note that when one clicks on "Books" in the listing there are several listed. Unfortunately, text seems largely unavailable. I am glad that you found one of several sources that mentioned him in a fascist connection. Whether that makes him notable I don't know. But the article as it is holds promise. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:06, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

The result was delete. I'm afraid I discounted the !vote by User:AugustinMa as their argument did not address how the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. I also discounted the !vote by User:SwisterTwister because WP:CREATIVE is not relevant here, rather WP:NACTOR is. After this, there is, I think, consensus that the subject does not meet inclusion criteria for an article in the encyclopedia. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:08, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm just not seeing the notability here. Even if we look at the credits list at Imdb, we don't see much evidence of "prominent" roles. Two of the three films mentioned in her Imdb biography don't have her listed on the posters for those films, so even the producers of those films didn't think her roles were significant. The one exception is for The Golden Veil, for which she is also credited as an associate producer (which suggests that she got her starring role because she helped finance the film). In any event, it isn't a notable film. In addition, there has been a multiple-issues banner on the article for almost four years. I see no plausible prospect for any improvement.

The page is about a term used by a Hindu nationalist organisation. There is no evidence that it is used by reliable sources or by general public. So it fails WP:GNG. It can easily be covered by a short mention on the organisation's Wiki page. Kautilya3 (talk) 01:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete as questionable, restart or draft & userfy later if needed.SwisterTwister talk 06:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC) - Keep, derogatory terms are not proscribed per se from having articles (compare Yid and Kraut). The term is used often enough in Indian newspapers that readers may be led to look it up on Wikipedia. The article has some encyclopaedic value, being more than a dicdef. It would not be so appropriate to cover this in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh since it is used by other organistions as well; the article names Vishva Hindu Parishad as one, and the movement with which this term is associated, Hindutva, is (according to that article) the official ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party. I think this is borderline enough that it should be relisted at least once before closing. SpinningSpark 13:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

The article was first created by a sockpuppet of a blocked user and did not contain a single reliable source. I PRODded it, and it was deleted. Within days, a close paraphrase of a deletion version was recreated, with four sources. One of them is reliable and contains the mere mention of the film (the director gives an interview about smth else, and mentions in passing that he shot this film as well).

The result was speedy delete as a hoax. I've opened up a new SPI case and I'll block the article creators. I've also protected the page to prevent further attempts to create an article about the hoax book. If someone wants to create a book about Watkins's book and can create an article that establishes notability, I'll remove the page protections. I've also salted the page for "author" since that's related to the sockpuppetry case. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:13, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and WP:NBOOK.

- Good find. That book is "funny" (Not ha ha funny either). It looks like they took the title from the Springer book and came up with the author by copy/past from Cleveland P. Hickman Jr. (Who seems to be a legitimate author [21] but not of a book of this title.) but got the last name, first name switched about and came up with Hickman Jr. Cleveland P.. I think hoax may be a kind word for it. JbhTalk 16:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. This is a hoax. I took a look around and found the book at Amazon, however a search using some of the sentences shows that it's clearly the Philip C. Watkins book lifted wholesale. I'll alert Springer to this since this is clear theft. The "author" tries to get away with it by citing Watkins, but the book's info gives off the impression that the author is someone else. Now what firmly pegs this as a hoax is the name "Javad Ramezani" on Amazon. This sounded familiar and sure enough, it's associated with User:جواد رمضانی شوراب, who has created multiple sockpuppets. One of his hallmarks is trying to copy stuff from other places and pass it off as Ramezani's work. In this case they decided to try to get around this by stealing someone's scientific work.

Notoriety cannot be established via inheritance (who was married to whom) nor via a series of obituaries (which only count as routine mentions). This individual does not appear to have received the level of attention required to qualify for a standalone article. Death does not equal notability. KDS4444Talk 13:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment, Inheritance doesn't even come into it. The mention of Arch Deal and Marty Balin is only additional to what is already there. Karen Deal has played a prominent part in the development of Rock Music in the Tampa area. During her time in the early days, bands such as the Latino rock group Sweet Smoke and no doubt The Mod Squad, artists such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Mike Pinera, Greg Allman, and Joe Walsh would come to see them. She is certainly much more than a footnote in the Florida rock scene. She has quite likely been a part of it's development. Yes she was married to Marty Balin, and she has co-produced at least two of his albums as well as playing on recordings by the reformed latter day Jefferson Airplane. There's more but I haven't got time to go through it all now. Karl Twist (talk) 13:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, I believe she is notable as a part of the rock scene in Florida. She has been part of the development of the rock scene by her participation. Founding member of Sweet Smoke which included White Witch's Beau Fisher and The Mod Squad. Karl Twist (talk) 13:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

- I am not certain that I am convinced that being prominent in a local music scene qualifies a person for a standalone Wikipedia article. She would need to have risen to the level of at least regional if not national attention as evidenced by publications with that level of distribution and reader interest. Links to mentions of her hospice care, her discographies, and her obituaries don't seem to meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia. She does not appear to have won any national awards for her work, which would also have been an indicator of notability. Being "more than a footnote" does not translate into "notable." (If anything, to me, it suggests the opposite.) The references, at least as given here, don't seem to support a notability argument. KDS4444Talk 20:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- The Florida rock scene in the early 1970's through to the 1980s was an important part in the historical avenues of rock in the United States. Many classic rock bands came from this area in the 1970s and even the 1980s. Karen Deal was real part of it and she was in bands with members that went on to be come nationally known Yes. she wasn't internationally known or even known across the greater USA. She was however known in her state for her contributions. As I mentioned before, the obituaries are only additional to her history that is evidenced in various articles. When I mentioned "being more than a footnote, I meant her value or contribution to the rock scene in Florida worth noting and she was more than a cog. She also can be looked upon as a directional gear in the machine. She was also a producer. Sure she co produced her husband's albums plus some work for other artists. When you look at the big picture, there's a lot more in the picture to note. Sometimes you have to take a step or two back. Then you can see how and where it fits in. Karl Twist (talk) 15:07, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment, I'd also like to add that Karen Deal would be in the minority being a female rock keyboardist from Florida but that in itself could be a barrier breaker as well. Not sure that Pioneer would be the most suitable term for her but her efforts would have been pioneering none the less and quite likely an inspiration to aspiring young female musicians, especially keyboardists. And she was prominent in the rock scene of her state. She was recognized for that in her lifetime. Karl Twist (talk) 10:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. Since we're going back to 2-year-old arguments, I guess I'll repeat what I said, as well. Without waxing too much, we have numerous articles on significantly more obscure figures in the programming language community that have handily survived AfD, like Mark Jason Dominus or Audrey Tang. The previous AfD resulted in some good RSs that mentioned him and his work by name. It's easy to check the German media and find lots more commentary on his activities as a researcher and educator, for example the national daily Die Welt and the Lübecker Nachrichten both have articles on Tantau's educational program at Lubeck. I've added these. Agricola44 (talk) 17:28, 9 February 2016 (UTC).

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:42, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Most of the sources are just tangential references to a LaTeX package that he wrote. The package may be notable, but that doesn't make the creator notable when they are just mentioned as the author and nothing more. The sources of him being noted in the German media are just one-liners of him making a comment on a course. Nothing that contributes to the subject's own notability. Kingofaces43 (talk) 03:32, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- That is incorrect. The articles are not "one-liners of him making a comment on a course". Rather, they are about educational programs of which he is the director that have won large funding grants, which is noteworthy in Germany. Coverage of such notable activities/results/developments render the person responsible for those things notable per se. (If you doubt this, then do a little thought experiment: WP:PROF c1, undoubtedly the most frequently-used notability criterion for academics, works on the principle that a person's work is noted/cited, not the person herself. In fact, in the vast majority of cases, i.e. article stubs, there is no standalone, published biographical material whatsoever of the person. Under your philosophy then, citations would still not be enough to demonstrate notability. But, in all cases where there is a sufficient "citation" collection of sources, the article is kept.) Further, Tantau's educational programs are covered in high-level secondary sources. For example, Die Welt is a national daily, akin to something like USA Today or WSJ in the USA. I can't help but to illustrate the difference in sources for Tantau versus some of the other obscure CS language bios mentioned above that have handily survived AfDs. Agricola44 (talk) 15:01, 10 February 2016 (UTC).
- The distinction that needs to be made is whether the subject's work on the subject is notable, or if it's the subject's involvement in the work is notable. This subject is covered as being involved in some notable topics, but it is more passing mention rather than a focus on the subject. Until the notability shifts to the BLP itself, it's best to just mention Tantau where relevant under WP:DUE in articles on LaTeX, etc. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Again, it is not the nature of the mention here that matters. It is the fact that national-level secondary sources discuss educational programs implemented/led by Tantau in detail (explicitly acknowledging his role). These are gigantic "citations of his work", if you like. At the very least, these sources render him notable under GNG. Agricola44 (talk) 17:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC).
- The sources would need to demonstrate what you claim. Right now, Tantau only gets tangential mention at best in the currently used sources, which is far for gigantic citations of his work. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. For this area, the most accurate representation of his research publication record is the one in DBLP, [22], although it doesn't have any measure of impact such as citation counts. I stand by my delete in the previous AfD: citation record not yet strong enough for WP:PROF#C1 and no evidence of WP:GNG-based notability for beamer. Re Xxanthippe's comment about this being a highly cited field: yes and no. The field is on the border between mathematics and computer science, and is much more highly cited than pure mathematics, but not quite as high as more systems-y computer science. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:59, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Is it going to be deleted?166.176.184.76 (talk) 13:32, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Likely so. Wikipedia requires that the subjects of articles be notable by Wikipedia standards. You can read our General Notability Guidelines and the specific guidelines for actors to see what that means. In general there must be significant coverage in independent, third party, reliable sources. Not blogs, not Instagram, not IMDB but rather newspapers, magazines, books etc. Even in those cases the articles must be independent to the subject, not PR pieces or from their agent etc.
I could find nothing like that for this person but if you can find good sources that meet our requirements then the article could be kept. This AfD will run for at least a week so you have some time if you want to improve the article.

- Keep The is patently NOT a WP:MEMORIAL. WP:NOTNEWS is a guideline that does not apply to this article, It states "Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recently verified information." This article passes WP:GNG because of the worldwide scope and depth of coverage and because of the impact of the event on the current dominating topic in Swedish politics. That said, it needs expansion. It is more productive to help expand articles on obviousl notable events than to delete them. Here is a little [23] of the material that can and should be added to this article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- I am expanding/improving this article. However, even when it was written it could not be accurately described as a "local crime story". "Local crime stories" in Sweden do not get intensive coverage in the British, American, French and other foreign media. Nor do Prime Ministers rush to the scene of a "local crime" with "No serious encyclopedia value" in the hope of difusing popular response, which, in this case, had included a nationwide series of premeditated attacks in which groups of men beat up black and brown-skkined people in thestreet and attack asylum centers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Coretheapple, NOTNEWS does not apply. I have explained that below several times.BabbaQ (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- WP:HEY. Editors who weighed in above need to at least look at expanded article (nothing fancy, just a quick expansion) an enormous amount of sourcing is available (most intensely from Britain papers for those searching in English,) more is available in other European languages and, of course, in Swedish. this: [24] gives a sense of the early coverage. The stabber (there is no doubt of his identity) is now a poster child for what the Swedish and international press report as presumably thousands of adult, male asylum seekers who lied to authorities by claiming to be underage so that they could take advantage of generous benefits and fast-track paths to legal status available to minors arriving without adult guardians, and also a poster child in the debate over whether asylum seekers who create crimes should be deported or allowed to serve their penalties and stay in Sweden. Except, he's not a child. He's a fully mature six-footer with a beard who all the reporters who have seen him guess to be 20 or so. The incident is reported to have sparked a round of deliberate attacks on asylum seekers and asylum centers by nativists. Coverage will obviously continue as this case moves towards trial and sentencing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS as stated by others, and also per WP:COATRACK. I reject E.M.Gregory's argument that the relationship between this incident and the 2015 refugee crisis is sufficient basis for this article to meet WP:GNG – if we were to do this, we would have hundreds of pages relating to individual crimes, each presenting its own take on the refugee crisis, and that is exactly what the COATRACK policy is designed to avoid. Once this article is stripped back to the bare facts about the incident itself, it falls into the NOTNEWS category. Aspirex (talk) 09:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- This article is not a coatrack.WP:WINAC Note that every source that I added to the article is, in whole or part, an article about this specific stabbing murder. Each of the response assertions is there because sources discussing the incident assert that it was the or a contributory factor to specific consequence, such as the articles asserting that this attack was immediately followed by a sharp uptick in attacks on immigrants (or people who look like migrants) And while the article is about this crime, many, many articles about this crime point out that the perpetrator appears far older than his stated age, it is reasonable ot include that, look at WP:WINAC: "It would be reasonable to include brief information of the background behind a key detail, even if the background has no relevance to the article's topic, as long as such information is used sparingly and does not provide any more explanation than a reasonably knowledgeable reader would require." which is why I include a little information about the incentives migrnats have to lie about their age. Also note WP:WINAC: "Material that is supported by a reliable, published source whose topic is directly related to the topic of the article, is not using the article as a coatrack.".E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:09, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

As tragic as it is, there's no evidence that there's any lasting effects or significant coverage beyond the usual sensationalist coverage of a spectacular murder. NEWSEVENT is pretty clear that media's criteria for publishing is different from Wikipedia's notability criteria which means that an event can receive a lot of media coverage without being notable.

- Keep - this article covers one of the most reported on and talked about murders in Swedish history for a loooong time. It covers WP:NEWSEVENT and WP:GNG. And no, the users claiming this is a "local story" means "this is a non British or American" story, simply because is a story from Swedens doesnt make it a local story.

- Oh stop it. As user Sjö has pointed out: this incidence has had no lasting consequences in Sweden (or elsewhere, AFAIK). Yes, I know there are some editors on Wikipedia who thinks that each and every murder committed by a Muslim (the vast majority of Somalis are Muslims, after all) is notable. I´m not one of them.

- Disruptive behavior, two editors, who have argued aggressively for deletion, have gon through the article removing sources and material. I am aware that I can go through and pt every source back up, dispute the tags they have hung and so forth./ But, to me, it is a form of WP:WIKIHOUNDING engaged in by editors with endless time to devote who thereby make writing and defending an article on a notable event that some editors find not to their liking nearly impossible to do because of the exorbitant amount of time they force an editor like me to devote to defending a good article under POV attack.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:39, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

- We're talking about using an unreliable source to source a statement of fact. Removing that source and replacing it with a "citation needed" tag is IMO well within policy. If you do feel hounded, I must point out that neither here nor the article's talk page is the right venue to report that. WP:AN/I would be much better. Sjö (talk) 08:32, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

- Note that this story is back in the international headlines today because perp has been shown to have lied about his age, claiming to be 15 when he is in his early twenties.

Comment Two death cases with similar historical impact (on public opinion / in behaviour science):
- Murder of Kitty Genovese. The murder gave social psychology a new term : bystander effect.
- Death of Cristina and Violetta Djeordsevic in Italy. The case sparked off international attention, because of the typical bystander effect (as seen on this photograph [27]).
A public opinion shaker and mover as the 2016 Sweden asylum center stabbing has equal 'encyclopedial' rights. Stefanomione (talk) 22:20, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, the murder of Kitty Genovese is a good illustration of the difference between a clearly notable murder and this case which is not. The Kitty Genovese case had a lasting effect because it led to a new term. The 2016 stabbing has had no lasting effects of that kind. Sjö (talk) 08:32, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Wide references for greater socio-political effect than one person being killed, not only the sadly expected vigilante attacks in "revenge" on people who had nothing to do with it, but also the issues of overcrowding of migrants and documenting the age of a criminal. '''tAD''' (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- The connection to the vigilante attacks is weak at best. Please note that the took place in a different town about 500 km away and were reported in reliable sources as intended to target criminal street children. The discussions about immigrants and crime, housing for immigrants and determining the age of young asylum seekers have been alive for a long time before the stabbing of Miss Mehzer, which means that the stabbing has created no new discussions. There have been no new terms in psychology or otherwise, no resignations of public officials and no changes in policy. In short there is as of now no proof of enduring notability, unless you count the burst of news reports (which per WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE doesn't automatically make an incident notable). Referring to WP:NEWSEVENT there's no lasting effect, there's no significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group and there's no in-depth coverage as defined on the page. There are claims of societal impact in this discussion, but they are mostly unspecified and unsourced and as such can be discounted. While this case might have some lasting effect in the future, I think that at this time it's a case of WP:TOOSOON. Sjö (talk) 08:32, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sjö, the only thing that is too soon here, is this nom. And this case has already had effects. No lasting effects? It happened a week and a half ago... do not speculate. And its not claims it is fact that it has had an impact in Swedish society.BabbaQ (talk) 14:06, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sjö, I think you're being extremely picky on the criteria here. After all, neither the 2015 Ikea stabbing attack or the Trollhättan school attack led to any dramatic concrete lasting consequences of that nature you're calling for either. To me this incident seems to be well on par with both of those incidents, which is mainly on the society shock/trauma level due to a sensitive and relatively new/unusual incident, measured by the widespread media coverage, so if you're really arguing for your point I would suggest you propose those two articles being deleted as well, and probably numerous similar articles.

Article was prodded with the rationale "Article concerns a young footballer who fails the sport-specific notability guideline because he hasn't played in a fully professional league (the German Regionalliga isn't fully pro) or at senior international level, and about whom there's no evidence of enough significant coverage to pass the general notability guideline". Prod was removed with edit summary "Two specific articles on the subject meet WP:GNG". Personally, I can't find anything in reliable independent sources other than rehashed stories hung on quotes from his first-team manager Pep Guardiola saying he did well on the pre-season tour to China and he's going to be good but he's nowhere near ready for first-team matches.

- The first is a good example of the story I mentioned in my nomination statement, and is well down at the routine trivial end of coverage: more than a namecheck, but not very far.

- I don't see anything in either article that is so controversial that reliability need be called into question. What I do see however, is two articles building brief comments around the same quote from Guardiola. Aside from the inherent brevity of each article making it reasonable to call into question the notion of significant coverage (not to mention the logical fallacy that 2 articles = GNG), this is in fact not separate coverage, but essentially the same article, since the substance of each is the same quote from Guardiola used verbatim in each instance. A manager commenting briefly on how amazing one of the young players at his club might be at some point in the future is not significant coverage. Fenix down (talk) 17:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- It's not our job to judge the article. It's the nomintor's job to run WP:BEFORE and editors to investigate if the subject is or is not notable.
- It took me a short time to use Google and come up with these: [33][34] [35] [36] [37] [38] and they have been added to the article as inline references. Shall I keep looking? Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- One thing further. he is apparently on the senior men team's roster for their champion's league matches. If he appears a a substitute during the round of 16 matches, is he notable?

- I would certainly encourage you to continue searching if you are convinced of GNG. At worst, I would encourage you to re-read the sources you have presented. In your attempt to show coverage in multiple sources, what you have in fact shown is further rehashes of the same brief quotes from Guardiola:
- ran.de - uses essentially the same quote from Guardiola, this time in German, saying We are very pleased with his performances and his attitude in training... He is a very young player of 17 years, he can improve much we have to go step by step, he trained with the first team, which is for him alone... a big step forward. but we are convinced of its class. (German: Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit seinen Auftritten und seiner Einstellung im Training... Er ist ein sehr junger Spieler. Mit 17 Jahren kann er noch vieles verbessern. Wir müssen Schritt für Schritt gehen. Er trainiert mit der ersten Mannschaft, das allein ist für ihn ein großer Schritt nach vorne. Wir sind aber von seiner Klasse überzeugt.) The wording is very slightly different from the first two sources you presented but nowhere near sufficiently so to assume this is a different quote. Either way, it says nothing new about the player.
- sport1.de - this is simply a brief quote from Guardiola, there isn't even any analysis of it. As a quote from his manager, it is inherently WP:PRIMARYSOURCE and not useful for establishing GNG. It does not enhance notability because it says nothing more than the previous source and is so similar in content as to be essentially identical (German: Fabian Benko ist ein sehr junger Spieler. Er ist erst 17 Jahre alt. Wir sind aber von seiner Klasse überzeugt... Wir müssen Schritt für Schritt gehen. Er trainiert mit der ersten Mannschaft, das alleine ist für ihn ein großer Schritt nach vorne.)
- eurosport.de - This is not actually about the player in question but an article on the wider Bayern youth setup. Benko is mentioned briefly with the article noting a couple of friendly appearances. This is not significant coverage, despite the fact that his name is mentioned in the headline.
- internationalsoccerteams.com - This is just a very brief piece which is entirely speculation on what nation he might choose to represent. I don't see how content from this could provide more than a sentence in an article. Not significant coverage.
- backofthenetfootball.com - This is not a separate source from the one you presented earlier, just posted to a different site. It is word for word identical and does not therefore support GNG.
- bavarianfootballworks.com - This is nothing, there is essentially no content in this very brief article beyond the rhetrical question "is this guy going to be any good?" I'm not sure how this supports GNG.
- I hope I have illustrated why simply googling someone's name is not the best way of establishing notability. Yes this is a player who is creating a reasonable amount of speculation, yes in pre-season Guardiola made some brief comments regarding his hopes for the player and yes he might come good soon, but at the moment I see no significant coverage, no interviews with the player and no significant articles summarising his career to date, which is unsurprising, because he hasn't actually done anything of note yet. You are right though, if he plays in the CL then he will be deemed notable. Fenix down (talk) 08:50, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Additionally, per WP:BOMBARD, I have also trimmed the article to remove the superfluous referencing. Why on earth would a second half substitute appearance in a pre-season friendly possibly warrant three separate references?!? Fenix down (talk) 09:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- A couple added comments of my own: first, Walter, would you mind providing some links to genuine reliable sources rather than these fansites and blogsites? International football is highly notable, and if the subject meets any notability standard surely he'd be featured in the genuine press? Secondly, "WP:NFOOTBALL is rubbish so I won't bother reading it" ... what the hell? It is not your -- nor mine, nor Fenix's, nor anyone's -- place to decide unilaterally that we're going to ignore any notability guidelines we don't like. NFOOTY is the subordinate sports guideline which applies to the subject, and if you don't like NFOOTY's wording, the place to dispute that is on the NSPORTS talk page. It's not something to litigate at AfD. Ravenswing 14:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have restored them. You're simply removing sources. You're also angry that I called you out for not bothering to search for sources before electing to state the subject is not notable. In short, I'm sorry I pissed you off, but the subject has multiple reliable sources and meets WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Reply to Ravenswing. They are genuine reliable sources. Yes it's rubbish. This is an AfD, but I have complained about it on the project page and other locations so I won't extend my complaints here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:56, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- No need to apologise, you didn't irritate me. Would be useful if you could show RS providing significant coverage that does not regurgitate the same brief press conference quote from Guardiola though to support your "it meets GNG" claim, which I believe I have quite comprehensively proven to be incorrect above.

- Delete: If the only valid claim for notability hinges on those two sources, it's not good enough. Only half of that first short source mentions the subject at all, and that's exactly the kind of routine sports coverage explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE. That leaves just the blogpost, which even if the blog qualified as a reliable source -- and I'd be interested in seeing proof of that -- is just one source, where the GNG requires multiple sources. Since the subject obviously falls well short of sports-specific guidelines, there's no choice but to delete. Ravenswing 02:27, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - my gosh, it's not difficult to find a lot of media coverage about this player; and as noted above, some of it is (borderline) notable. Nfitz (talk) 19:08, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think media coverage is in question as you can see from the discussion above, just the significance of it. Can you provide links to sources that do more than recycle the same brief comment from a Guardiola press conference, because I can't and that is all we seem to have here. Fenix down (talk) 08:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, I *do* think media coverage is in question. We're seeing a flurry of blogs and fansites (recycling, as Fenix says, the same press conference). What we're not seeing is coverage by the mainstream media. Ravenswing 11:29, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- Which do satisfy GNG because they offer significant coverage and are independent of the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:01, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- OK, we'll have to agree to disagree. If you think one quote recycled by some blogs and minor websites = GNG or an article briefly noting how he came on once for twenty minutes in a pre-season friendly = significant coverage then I guess no one is going to persuade you otherwise. Fenix down (talk)
- You do keep saying that, Walter, and here's my answer: prove it. I challenge that those sources have a known reputation for fact checking and accuracy. Demonstrate that they are, indeed, regarded by reliable sources as having that. Blogs and fansites are generally not automatically presumed to be reliable, and want rather more than a bald assertion that they are. Ravenswing 22:02, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

- Fair enough, an anon IP did ask. A single editor responded [44], with comments such as the writer of one of your sources isn't listed on the site's staff page, "As for the editorial oversight, Wittmann's bio says that he's written for other publications, so he might fit our expert criteria, but it's not clear whether he's a professional journalist or a hobbyist. Bundesliga Fanatic doesn't appear to be cited in other publications (the way, say The Washington Post is)," and concludes by saying that he'd like to see more investigation, but that one source "might" be good as is if the claim it supports is -- in his words -- "very lightweight," such as Benko's age or the countries he visited.
Being a reliable source which satisfies the GNG is very far from being "very lightweight," and we all know that an essential element in being considered a reliable source is a proven reputation for fact checking and accuracy. That being said, claiming that Darkfrog24's response endorses either of your sources shoots your credibility on this issue in the head. Ravenswing 08:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- I think the RS point here is a bit of a red herring, given that the sources which are being claimed to support GNG essentially recycle the same quote from a Guardiola press conference, I don't have any problem accepting that he did say what he said, my issue here is that is essentially all he has said and it therefore doesn't matter how many times it is regurgitated, it doesn't equal GNG.

can you please explain why this is up for deletion? The Association (which has been around since 1904) is well documented and is a major player in the UK specialist contractor sector in the construction industry. It has changed its name, removing the "and", so I created a new page and copied it across. The name change is verified here: http://www.coolingpost.com/uk-news/bes-becomes-besa/
I guess the same result would happen by changing the name of the original page Building and Engineering Services Association by removing the " and " text. I don't know how to do that, so help to change the title would be appreciated. user:sourswoken

This can be done without admin rights. You just paste the redirect text over the old one. I just did it. Apparently you had done it too, but someone had apparently undone you because "Blanking page instead of moving article and keeping the history intact". I have no idea what the person meant by that. Moving a page just creates a new copy article with the new name and then pastes the move text over the old one. It can be done manually as well.--Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 10:36, 3 February 2016 (UTC) - Speedy Keep The old page now a redirect and the multiple citations from it added to this one. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 10:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- comment It appears that a number of the contributors to this mess don't understand that attribution must be maintained (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia), and that a cut-and-paste move is a copyright violation, which is why a move should be done by the move function, rather than by cut-and-paste. I have no comment on the notability question. - David Biddulph (talk) 11:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC

- Comment (I'm aware the article was moved while I was writing this, but figured I could still comment on that part of the whole mess) As the person who reverted the change to the original page - I was about to move the original page to the new name for the reason David Biddulph has already mentioned above (I would have moved the new page to another name first and then requested a speedy deletion for it), but by that time, the new page had already been marked for deletion, and I didn't want to mess with it. That's why I at least restored the orignal article... Not sure why some seem to think that was the wrong thing to do? KungAvSand (talk) 12:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- The page was deleted at the author's request (he placed a PROD on it asking for it to be deleted to make way for a move) as well as the copyright violation. That request will include other edits he made. Regardless of any addition, the page remained an unambiguous copyright violation and would still be deleted on that basis. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep The BESA is a long-established industry organisation. The apparent lack of reliable sources to meet WP:GNG is perhaps largely explained by the change of name from the HVCA in 2012 and then the recent tweak to its name to drop the ampersand.

- Speedy Keep This association is one of the largest in the specialist engineering sector. It seems the deletion was marked simply because of a misunderstanding on the page name change - copy /paste to new page, rather than a move.

- KEEP and speedy close. GNG is clearly met in this case -- even if coverage is basically limited to local press (which is not the case, as a cursory search reveals.) Be careful to note that this is not a case of NOTNEWS, but that Jiggles' existing notability was made greater following the death and the demolishing. Its very being a noteworthy establishment in Oregon for thirty years is of note. Yes, more could be done to shift the attention away from the recent news and things such as its history could be beefed up, and prettify the game slightly, but that is definitely not grounds for deletion. Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

WP:GNG Non-notable dev, publisher, producer, it's just another kickstarter. superβεεcat 07:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - This game is more than "just another kickstarter". It meets notability guidelines and has been covered by major industry analysts like IGN, Kotaku, GameSpot, and others. If it was "just another kickstarter", it wouldn't be closing in on 100k raised in under 24 hours. It has quickly developed a cult following and many people are looking for information on it across social media, and asking questions. I couldn't believe there wasn't yet an article on it.

- Comment - I understand the case against this game having its own article. The reason I created the article is because of the sheer response it has gotten across social media platforms and the amount of coverage it has received. All you have to do is look at the news coverage by using the hyperlink above and you will see what I mean. When someone wants to know what this game is all about, there should be a page on Wikipedia that can explain it to them. Idealist343 (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Obviously. But if the dev or programmer WAS notable, proving notability would be more or less trivial. A kickstarter is often WP:Crystal because the game isn't released, it's simply announced, and may be vaporware. Notability isn't temporary. The kickstarter itself would have to be notable. A lot of gaming press on the Internet produces an article for nearly every kickstarter that hits a reasonable amount of funding, but I'm not convinced that press quite meets WP:GNG, which is why I brought it to AfD. - superβεεcat 22:08, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- But are there not multitudes of articles for games, including many by independent developers that are made pre-release depending on the amount of press? Idealist343 (talk) 22:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yep, there are. I was just unconvinced of this particular one's notability, given the sources and coverage. Also, pre-release isn't the same as a kickstarter, which are notorious for producing vaporware, even on well funded projects. If THAT becomes a story, so be it. superβεεcat 22:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Superbeecat does have a point though, we have to keep WP:CRYSTAL in mind. I'll try to go over the sources. --Soetermans. T / C 22:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- My defense would be that there are precedents that had a lot less reliable sources and a lot less coverage than this. Tuesday morning, when people went to their favorite video game industry website, whether it be Kotaku, IGN, GameSpot, or what have you, they saw this game on the front page. Does that not make it inherently notable by definition? Idealist343 (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- I also would go back to your original point. The sheer amount of reliable sources should be sufficient. Idealist343 (talk) 22:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- All fair points, except that a reliable source is only half the equation. To answer you question "Does that not make it inherently notable by definition?" No. Not at all. The coverage itself is also important. When you read the sources, they are basically repeating the announcement, and not really "covering" anything, because there is nothing to cover yet. WP:Crystal states in part "Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." (emphasis mine). Until there is anything tangible, the coverage of an announcement is just speculation, as far as I can see. superβεεcat 22:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Remember Notability is not temporary. If this was vaporware and dissolved today, would it still warrant an article? If yes, then keep, if no, then don't keep. superβεεcat 22:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- See you just said it though. It is half the equation. And that half it passes with flying colors. The other half is based on the assumption it may fail, which isn't likely considering it has almost reached its goal in just over 24 hours. I will stick by the fact that there are precedent video game articles that have had much less and based on much more rumor that have stayed. This game has plenty of reliable sources backing it up and as far as the other half of the equation, it could go either way, but we can better assume it will succeed than fail, but like I said, that should be irrelevant when taking into consideration the reliable sources reporting on it which will make people recognize (i.e. notablity) what it is. I stick by the fact that there has been many video game articles with much less kept. Idealist343 (talk) 22:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- But that's not how wikipedia (or kickstarter) work. It's not an ASSUMPTION that it may fail, until it is released, it DEFINITELY may fail, as hundreds upon hundreds of fully funded kickstarters do. Sometimes devs take the money and run. Sometimes everyone buys strippers (this just happened). Sometimes they just never finish a project. This product is in Pre-Alpha. You said yourself "it could go either way" - this is a SPECIFIC violation of WP:CRYSTAL. If something can go either way, it is speculation, until it actually goes either way. Let me put it this way, if it DOES fail, would you advocate keeping the article? superβεεcat 22:48, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- But either way, it is still making an assumption. Here is what we know right now with no assumptions: This game has been announced by a team of developers. It is a game that IS being made and already nearing Alpha. It is covered by reliable sources (multitudes of them) and it is already almost across its threshold goal on Kickstarter. That is 10x more than many preceding articles based on announced video games have had, and they have been kept. Idealist343 (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- That simply is not how Wikipedia works. PLEASE read WP:CRYSTAL. IF the outcome is unknown (HOWEVER PROBABLE) it is speculation. The number of sources for other articles is entirely irrelevant, see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. Every kickstarter known to man could have an article, and it still wouldn't have any bearing here. What you are advocating is a reversal of WP:CRYSTAL. It is an important policy. Not defenses to crystal: "But other articles..." "But it has made a lot of money and will probably exist..." "But the sources are good...". Notability cannot be temporary. That means that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, whether the kickstarter goes as planned, or not, the topic has to be good. This is NOT speculation, this is the opposite of speculation. superβεεcat 23:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- For video games specifically, there's WP:VG/RS. Gamerassault is not on there, I'd remove that one. Reliable sources like GamesRadar, VG247, VideoGamer.com and HardcoreGamer did mention it. The last one specifically said "Bulkhead Interactive, a studio comprised of former AAA developers and modders", but their official website doesn't have any information. On Kickstarter the game is doing pretty good so far. I wouldn't call this "speculation and rumor", as the game was actually announced. Okay, all in all, with all those RS'es mentioning Battallion 1944, I still say keep. --Soetermans. T / C 22:34, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Isn't every game on Kickstarter "announced"? I do agree, there is probably more than trivial coverage here at this point... but I'm still having trouble with the permanence of Notability. Many hundreds (thousands?) of fully funded kickstarters never go on to produce products, despite coverage. How do we rationalize the litmus test of permanence (i.e. even if this is vaporware and disappears today, it's still a good article) with a product that may yet never come to be without violating wp:crystal? Is every piece of vaporware notable if the product announcement was covered? (I'm willing to listen if the answer is yes... maybe kickstarted vaporware IS notable if it had decent coverage...). superβεεcat 22:43, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Here's an example for ya. One of the most spectacular kickstarter failures was Yogventures. It made over half a million (DOUBLE what it was asking). in 2012. It was cancelled in 2014, despite massive backing and being tied to the massively popular Yogscast. THAT game, even though it is often mentioned as one of the most spectacular failures in kickstarter history, has NO article. The relevant paragraph is on the Yogscast page. It had FAR, far, far, more coverage than Battalion. I'd probably fight to GET an article for the game, as the failure itself is probably more notable than the vaporware title. We are talking about a title that may or may not ever get released. I've said my piece on it. What I WOULD advocate for, is (as proscribed in WP:CRYSTAL) adding the info to any of the devs' articles, if they have one. I think it's just too soon for this. superβεεcat 23:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep as whether the game will be another failed Kickstarter project is not important. If reliable sources cared about the game and write articles about it, we should as well as it meets our notability guideline. Four/five sources are enough to show notability, and the article, in its current state, has enough content, which means it isn't really too soon. AdrianGamer (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, namely WP:VG/RS. Not having notable developer or other associated companies/people has no impact on the notability of the topic itself if the sources support it. Whether the product is released or not similarly has no bearing on notability if the sources support it. It's a bit WP:TOOSOON and I would say merge for now due to content size, but there isn't a suitable target, so a stand-alone article would have to do. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:18, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - Coverage in reliable sources is WP:NOTNEWS level. It's the press release regurgitation of "this is a kickstarter project that exists" without any actual depth. This is the same argument I put forward at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tabletop Simulator, which was drafted and recreated once notable. - hahnchen 12:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- You say "without any actual depth" even though this article has a ton more depth than many articles left up in the past. Can you specifically tell me what it needs so that I can try and improve it to that level? Also, WP:NOTNEWS is talking about every little event surrounding a topic. There is no way this article isn't good enough for just a stub especially considering it is a fully funded game by AAA developers backed by a multitude of reliable sources. Idealist343 (talk) 13:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Every little event includes every time a game is announced. None of the coverage is in depth because they're just news articles, repeating what the developer has announced. There are no previews, interviews, reviews, features on the game. There are video game kickstarters running all the time, and lots of them get news coverage in IGN, Gamespot et al. Right now, there's news stories for Invisigun Heroes, Consortium: The Tower, Knights and Bikes, and others. The only difference is in popularity, not notability. We regularly delete articles that are essentially product announcements as WP:TOOSOON, this article was created mere hours after the announcement. I'd say that was too soon. - hahnchen 19:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep He fought for a title where boxing receives significant coverage. I think fighting for the British title in an original eight weight class goes beyond meeting by the thinnest of margins (if even such a concept should exist or be considered relevant). Unless someone goes to England to research the 2013 print archives for Liverpool (fight location) as well as goes to N. Ireland to research the 2013 print archives for Belfast (fighter's home town) we have to consider this a keep since it meets WP:NBOX. RonSigPi (talk) 04:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- This is a similar argument to one you used before when you said the only way to refute a fighter's notability was, in that case, be a fluent speaker of Polish and go to Poland and prove there wasn't significant independent coverage. Advocating going to the fight location would probably only produce routine sports reporting (promotion and results) so it's irrelevant. Since this article doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, then the fact that he barely meets the weakest notability criteria in the generous assumptions of WP:NBOX is relevant. National runners-up in other sports aren't deemed automatically notable so why is it so in boxing? Papaursa (talk) 03:36, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- And for the article you are referring to the decision was no consensus so its not like my argument was crazy/off the wall or that it was completely discounted. Similar argument and similar logic here - we have presumptions for a reason and a 5 minute Google search finding nothing is hardly evidence of anything. I hold a presumption is valid until reasonably shown otherwise. To your other comment, other sports do have their national runners-up presumed notable. In golf, the U.S. Open is the national championship. Not only the runner-up is notable, but so is the guy finishing in 70th place. The 3rd place competitor at the badminton Canadian Open is presumed notable. Yes, those are open events so its a bit different I will admit, but they are generally considered national championships and they go beyond just the winner. Additionally, this is a bit different of a situation. Not only is the BBBofC more of an exception (to my knowledge, only the US and UK have 'national' titles awarded that confer notability so this would be for only two nations), but in a sporting context its questionable if the UK is a country or multiple countries. In soccer, rugby, and cricket England and Wales compete as nations. Same goes for athletics in the Commonwealth Games (something that finishing lower than 1st can still give a presumption of notability). The BBBofC does award, for example, Welsh and English titles. So its reasonable to treat the BBBofC as a regional body as opposed to a national body. Likewise, its reasonable to not place someone losing their British title as being national runner-up, as you would the loser of the BBBofC Northern Ireland title, but instead treat them as the runner-up in a regional contest as we do for the Asian Games in athletics.RonSigPi (talk) 04:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I would also claim that it's a stretch to claim the BBBofC is an international organization equivalent to Asia's because it has subregions and that losing a title fight is equivalent to finishing second at an event like the Asian Games. It is more proper to say that it's equivalent to finishing last in a two person event as opposed to finishing second in an event with numerous competitors from many countries. Papaursa (talk) 05:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
- It does not matter what is proposed, but what WP:NBOX states now. My proposal was not my personal thoughts, but my best read on the consensus (I even said so much in my message to you). As anyone can clearly see, my proposal is being defeated quite handily so I am not sure what your point actually is. Regardless of the point trying to be made, I stand by my argument. We have SNG for a reason. They give a presumption that an article's subject is notable. It is up to those that want to see the article deleted to establish that the presumption is wrong in this case and therefore the article should be deleted. You may not like the SNG and the presumption the BBBofC title gives, but the presumption exists none the less and it must be respected. Until someone shows that efforts have been made to search the areas one may find sources, and that includes local print and non-print sources and the like that may not make it online, then I presume it likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria.

Yes, some of the reliable sources mentioning him may only do so in brief (there is also a short sentence on him here) but that is enough to warrant a keep. Additionally, his profile on BoxRec nicely underlines his notability as a boxer, no matter how small -- while BoxRec is not considered a reliable source, much like IMDB for film, it is indicative of the presence of other reliable sources regarding him elsewhere, and well complements what we have at hand.

- In my opinion, all ambassadors are significant, interesting and unusual enough to deserve attention and therefore satisfy the criteria to that effect set out in the introduction of WP:BIO. They are accordingly notable. I also agree with the argument, sometimes advanced by User:Necrothesp that this would alternatively follow from WP:COMMONSENSE. A person who is verifiably an ambassador should, at an absolute minimum, be included in, and redirected to, the relevant parent article, which in this case would be Ambassador of Colombia to Russia. Accordingly, as a plausible redirect with merge-able content, this article appears ineligible for deletion. I haven't analysed all the sources yet, and it is not helpful that they are mostly in foreign languages, but there does seem to be a 26 minute television programme.

It is highly relevant in proving my claim you are following me. You didn't encounter HoldenV8 by random (if you did you would have easily provided a diff to prove this). Your excuse making is fooling no one. And your motivations for recent following me around is clear. LibStar (talk) 14:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
The irrelevant card is such a diversion from you using my edit history to find HoldenV8 and then side with them to have a go at me. Factored in with you following me on AfDs last 24 hours it's an obvious pattern. Anyone can see your edit history. LibStar (talk) 16:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Again you have failed to explain how you came across Holden. The fact that you keep giving diversionary responses clearly points you to using my edit history, there are 10s of 1000s of editors and by sheer chance you stumbled onto one. That is relevant because you've gone on a 24 hour pattern of following me since then . Yet the hilarious excuse making continues. LibStar (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete- Yes, we can verify that this person exists and has a job. But that's really about all we can say. Ambassadors are not inherently notable, and the sourcing is just not sufficient to justify this article. Reyk YO! 10:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Ambassadors are accepted as notable if we can write and reliably source something genuinely substantive about them that gets them over WP:GNG — but they are not granted an automatic presumption of notability because ambassador. If all we can really write is "this person exists", and all we can really source them to is government press releases about their initial appointment with no media coverage of anything they did outside of that particular moment in time, then they don't get over the bar. But the latter is all we've got here. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:31, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Incomprehensible content. The article appears to claim that BOP is some sort of protocol for some sort of serialization for some sort of objects (as in objects from object-orientated programming?) that is "defined in every programming languages (sic)". This is completely devoid of any context. What does "protocol", "serialization", and "objects" refer to? The claim that this is something defined for every programming language is highly dubious and is unsupported by any citations or references (the article actually has none). The article then claims that the "protocol" can be "extended" with "other custom serialization". If this is something defined in every programming language, then how can it extended by the end-user, given programming languages are defined separately by their respective standards bodies? The article then goes on to say something about a JavaScript library. If the article is actually about this specific JavaScript library, then the article fails WP:GNG due to the lack of any WP:RS. This article also has a bizarre article history. It appears though that the current version is not the result of vandalism. I considered speedy deletion, but given this article's nature, I thought some discussion regarding its fate was warranted. AZ1199 (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Strong Delete If you look at the history it used to be where the acronym BOP was listed. The actual computing article was create in July 23, 2015 by an editor who made two edits to this article and hasn't edited since. Anyone after that was only doing Wiki-management. The actual content of the article is about a specific example of a Boyer–Moore string search algorithm. Even if BOP were a bit notable it would be merged to that article, but as I searched for any information about the BOP, all I could find was that github. To add to the insult, the github was last updated a year ago. Lastly: it's typical of programmers to list their own specialized executions of some general algorithm with a really cool name on github, but in the end it's most likely just a school project. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 08:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I had prodded this one back in 2015 but the tag was removed by an IP stating "because this is the only decent article about her".

- Keep The Comics Journal calls her "one of the alt-manga icons of the decade" (two of her works have been included in English alternate manga compilations Comics Underground Japan and Sake Jock). It links to a translated remembrance from Jisatsu Sarechatta Boku by Yoshiaki Yoshinaga that includes many biographical details. THEM also mentions that she "had made headlines for the first time in 1998, when she committed suicide", so that might be another angle to investigate. A column in Viz's Pulp also seems to be written about her; the available Google Books excerpt says: "On May 10 of this year, a manga artist committed suicide. She called herself Nekojiru, a combination of 'cat' and 'sweat,' but there was really no deep meaning behind the unusual pen name"... This spanish VICE article gives an overview of her at the beginning. The Visual Narrative Reader offers the brief observation that she "often placed her characters in cruel situations."

RedirectMerge to Cat Soup That's her most notable work and the other ones Neko Dango, etc. are variants of it that can fit in that article.

Non-notable software. References all seem to be papers announcing or promoting the software, written by its creators. No third party references or sources, and a search turns up none. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 01:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- The lack of references is probably as the title is wrong, if the article is about EIDORS specifically It was EIDORS but the title was changed. However it is certainly widely used. This paper has over 200 citations for example [51] This one over 100 (according to Google Scholar [52]. Is that enough to be notable or not? Most groups working on biomedical or process EIT use it, but those are small scientific communities (with annual scientific meetings attended by around 150 people for example).Billlion (talk) 08:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- A Google Scholar search for EIDORS gives over 600 articles [53] Billlion (talk) 08:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- The citation count is used for academics, not software projects, and even for academics it should be used with care. In this case it may be helpful in finding references but does not on its own prove notability, no more than a Google search. I did search on EIDORS, it seemed far more likely to turn up references than the current longer title, but I found nothing.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 08:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Of course it is true that a citation count is an academic measure. However, it is relevant to the question on notability. Widely used software is notable. And a large citation count is one measure of the use of the software. Also, however, the title of the article is wrong, EIDORS is "Electrical Impedance Tomography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Reconstruction Software". As a minimum, the article title should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.117.63.148 (talk) 14:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- JohnBlackburne I am confused as to what the Google search you did that did not convince you of notability. Of course Google will not give the same results for different locations and users, but I did a Google search for EIDORS and it comes up with a mixture of academic publications (by plenty of people who are not the authors of the software) and web sites from academic users. It says it returns around 8000 hits and the ones I sampled were all on this software (not some other use of the word). I am unclear what kind of notability you are expecting to find in a google search about a software toolbox. Here is a link to the search I just did, although it might produce different results for you [54]. You claim that there are "No third party references or sources" but you already admit that is not true as there are hundreds of academic papers not by the authors that mention that they used EIDORS. Then you change your claim to somehow say academic citations do not count. Do you mean some other sort of notoriety is needed like coverage in the popular press? You say a search turns up none, but certainly a Google search contradicts that. Can I suggest that the case for deletion is withdrawn and instead it is moved back to the correct articlename? And maybe tagged for improvement for example that the article should cite articles by users other than the authors (in a meaningful way to say how it is used in different applications). Billlion (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Google test; a Google or other search proves nothing. The way Google works means it turns up many low quality results, many duplicates, and often many unrelated results if words are common or used in other languages/fields. The main criteria for inclusion is notablity, which requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. Google may help you find such sources but the search itself is not evidence.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 03:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- OK JohnBlackburne so as you say lets us discount your and my Google search. Not repeatable and somewhat flawed. Useful at least to find that EIDORS does not seem to be used to mean anything else taht is visible on the web. Could you please have a look at the new references I added to the article and the paragraph about uses of EIDORS. I looked for references that seemed to me to be in reputable academic journals, that used EIDORS for a wide variety of different applications and as far as I could tell were not associated with the authors of EIDORS (although EIDORS is open source so anyone who uses it could contribute bug fixes etc, possibly anonymously, I mean the authors that appear on the main academic articles about the software). The 600 or so Google Scholar hits include plenty of conference proceedings etc so I looked for what appear to be mainstream journal articles. I also looked at the (approx 99) citations listed on the IoP web site of one of the main papers by the EIDORS authors. There are still over a hundred journal papers that mention EIDORS in proper journal not including anyone visibly associated with the project. I chose the ones I added as references in the article to illustrate interesting applications rather than simply to establish notability. As far as I can tell these articles actually use the software in a significant way rather than citing it is some tangential way (for example to to say "we tried EIDORS and it doesn't work", or something like that). Can you see if that satisfies as you say which requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. If not can you say roughly how many references to independent journal articles would satisfy of notability, or if you would expect them to satisfy some additional criterion? Billlion (talk) 18:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- I had another look at WP:GNG "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article or deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." So perhaps I was wrong to add all those sources to the article to establish notability. In any case I tried to do it in a way that is useful for the article so that is OK. The point is that according to the above one should check before nomination for deletion on notability grounds. I think what happened is you tried to do that but in good faith used the wrong title (and the title had been changed in good faith too), and you found no evidence for notability. On the other hand I pointed out that if you searched for EIDORS (and the search for EIDORS in Google Scholar appear, for me at least as an automated link in the AFD page) it shows up hundreds of independent reliable sources. I suggest therefore that the nomination for deletion is an unfortunate mistake and that you withdraw it (if that is possible procedurally) rather it actually going for a vote (so far no one has voted as such, but maybe that is normal. I have been editing Wikipedia for 11 years but not so regularly and policies and mechanisms do change and I don't keep up).Billlion (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- I read up on the mechanism. What I was thinking of was speedy keep'. WP:SK. JohnBlackburne could you do that if you accept the argument above otherwise I think an admin has to close the debate after 7 days have elapsed.

Merge and Redirect to Electrical impedance tomography instead of just redirect. I don't think sufficient information is present there. If either gets more votes here I'll just add some of this material to the Electrical impedance tomography article as a subsection.--Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 04:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Changed my vote. I think I'll still add some more to the Electrical impedance tomography article later. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 12:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Strong keep but rename Notability established as above, and nomination for deletion was in my opinion, a confusion caused by the wrong article name. But article name should be reverted to EIDORS. One problem with moving it to a section of Electrical impedance tomography is that that article is curently about biomedical applications of EIT, while Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) covers the geophysical case and industrial process tomography is now only covered in Industrial process imaging. See references inEIDORS article for uses in a variety on non medical areas. If EIDORS were to be merged it would have to be a section in a new article Calderon's inverse boundary value problem which would cover the mathematical problem irrespective of application Billlion (talk) 09:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: As it is relisted perhaps some users of EIDORS get a chance to look at this as the article certainly needs some improvement. As there is plenty of open source example images and meshes on the EIDORS web site and some of those could be used to illustrate the article. The idea of an article on Calderon's problem generally is growing on me, and I hope to start this irrespective of the outcome of the debate. The subject of electrical imaging is a difficult one for Wikipedia in that it appears different to the different communities medical, industrial and geophysical even though mathematically they are doing the same thing. I think a mathematical article that covers both uniqueness and stability of solution and numerical methods of inversion sounds like a good idea as then the application articles can focus on what is specific to those areas.Billlion (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: While the article is certainly under-developed, EIDORS is definitely notable. It is widely used in research on Electrical Impedance Tomography (aka ERT). In fact, it is frequently used as the gold standard implementation against which new algorithms are compared (e.g. [1][2], recent scientific articles by authors not associated with EIDORS). As Billion argues, scientific articles are the best independent reliable sources for this scientific software. Bgrychtol (talk) 11:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Here's an open-access article example: Saeedizadeh N, Kermani S, Rabbani H. A Comparison between the hp-version of Finite Element Method with EIDORS for Electrical Impedance Tomography. Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors. 2011;1(3):200-205. [3]/ Bgrychtol (talk) 14:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Rename: The article title should be (or contain) "EIDORS", such as e.g. on the EIDORS website: "EIDORS: Electrical Impedance Tomography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Reconstruction Software" [4]. "Electrical Impedance Tomography Reconstruction Software" is too generic and could as well contain a list. Bgrychtol (talk) 11:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - while it's hard to establish (GNG-)notability without the access to paywalled papers, there are indications that coverage rather than mere mention of the software takes place - e.g. " More recently, the application of image reconstruction to a specific tomography problem has become simplified by the introduction of user-defined functions implemented from Electrical Impedance and Diffuse Optical Reconstruction Software (EIDORS)."
- Moreover articles such as that included in Computer Networks and Intelligent Computing: 5th International Conference on Information Processing, ICIP 2011, Bangalore, India, August 5-7, 2011. Proceedings on page 622 cover the software before moving on to modifications and other matters.
- There is reason to believe that sufficient independent reliable coverage exists to keep this article.

But the reliable source coverage needed to support an encyclopedia article about it simply isn't there — on both Google News and ProQuest, it only gets passing hits on mentions of its name in articles about films that have screened at it, and isn't the subject of any coverage that I can locate besides its own self-published press releases on PRWeb.

Here there are 5 residence hall articles and many more buildings' articles in Category:Buildings at the University of Manchester. One could argue they ought to be combined into one or two list-articles, with redirects from each current title.

Lack of space some years back mean that I no longer have the paper sources to allow me to fully cite this. I would hope though that some other editors might have them.

Due to some events this past year, it has come to my attention that there are some articles and images regarding me and my former business on Wikipedia. And while eager and well-meaning, I believe a former associate of mine is responsible, at least in part, for this content. Both articles either contain some privileged information or general inaccuracies. I’m not really sure why this article even still exists. I would have to agree with the article’s notation of questionable notability. Flashpoint Studios, now discontinued, was simply a consultation and promotional arm of my core media development company. And while it is tied to some high-profile projects, it’s more of a footnote and hardly seems noteworthy to your global audience. And, it contains some inaccuracies and wording that can be misleading.

The result was keep without prejudice against a future merger into a list article of Casio calculators when one is written. The discussion below reached a rough consensus that we ought to keep some description of this (and most other) Casio calculator series, as the information can be sourced and there exists independent media coverage to make them notable. An eventual merge into a list article may be a better way to present the information, but there is little appetite for outright deletion. Deryck C. 16:36, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep - I don't see the problem with keeping articles about individual models/series of electronic calculators from major manufacturers, provided they have substantial content (as this one does). In terms of notability, there are media references to this series of calculators (e.g. [58]). In any event, how is this worse than having an article on an individual model/series of cars?

- Keep. This AFD and other Casio product AFDs is not a good way to discuss better editing, I mean real editing like a book publisher does, of Wikipedia's coverage of Category:Programmable computers or of Casio products. How about write an essay evaluating the coverage of TI and Casio and HP and Sharp and IBM calculators, and propose how it should all be consolidated into list-articles (perhaps, or whatever), and have an RFC about it. Singling out the Casio ones, or just selected Casio ones, doesn't produce a useful consensus that would stick. Maybe there is less detail about Casio ones than TI ones, and the TI ones should be reduced. Where should we draw a line? And, note that it would be better to redirect this and other Casio calculator articles to a list-article of them, than to outright delete the material. --doncram 00:26, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

- Delete/Redirect This is less keep-worthy than Casio 9860 series but more keep-worthy than the Casio interfaces, so it was harder to make a decision here. What won me over was that this article links to Casio_V.P.A.M._calculators. Much but not all of the information is already repeated there. The "feature list" of Casio fx-991ES is meaningless as it's typical for any calculator these days. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 06:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect I added some of the article's tiny contents to Casio_FX-602P_series#Interface. Information about FA-2 already existed there. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 05:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This AFD and other Casio product AFDs is not a good way to discuss better editing, I mean real editing like a book publisher does, of Wikipedia's coverage of Category:Programmable calculators or of Casio products (see Casio#Calculators). How about write an essay evaluating the coverage of TI and Casio and HP and Sharp and IBM calculators, and propose how it should all be consolidated into list-articles (perhaps, or whatever), and have an RFC about it. (And Mr. Magoo and McBarker's edits mentioned are much less than creating a decent list-article.) Singling out the Casio ones, or just selected Casio ones, doesn't produce a useful consensus that would stick. Maybe there is less detail about Casio ones than TI ones, and the TI ones should be reduced. Where should we draw a line? And, note that it would be better to redirect this and other Casio calculator articles to a list-article of them, than to outright delete the material, to preserve material that can be merged and refined. Create the list-article first, following example of Comparison of Texas Instruments graphing calculators, perhaps. --doncram 00:36, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

While the concept of a 16-year-old making a record like this does sound interesting, the album lacks notability in independent sources. All sputnikmusic reviews of this album are user reviews, and most reviews I found using google searches are basically unreliable blog and wordpress posts. I can't say this record meets WP:NALBUMS. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī 21:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete given the lack of independent, reliable coverage. Curro2 (talk) 01:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Notable artist. http://noisey.vice.com/blog/xxyyxx-says-hes-head-of-the--illuminati http://www.clashmusic.com/features/otw-516-xxyyxx --2A02:1812:C08:E700:9D89:F7E1:C243:62FC (talk) 19:45, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- JadestarXL said it best below. Notable artist doesn't always equal notable album. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī 04:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete The album itself is not notable enough to have a page of its own, even if the artist is notable. JadestarXL (talk) 01:27, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Japanese composer with a handful of game credits, but I don't think those credits establish notability. It's a well formatted article but I really can't find anything on this guy. The only noteworthy claim is that he was on the "most collaborated soundtrack" by Square, which if you think about it, is kind of a spurious superlative. JP Wikipedia isn't a help either. Axem Titanium (talk) 00:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Composer working on notable games doesn't make composer notable. Most sources are first-party, GameSpot is technical info. --Soetermans. T / C 21:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - yeah, it's a credits list; the prose is pretty much the credit list again, but with some citations that only prove that he worked on said games. There's nothing in there about Kawakami himself, beyond that he worked at company X doing games Y-Z. Most collaborated soundtrack by Square isn't saying much, since the successor company Square Enix has had games with twice as many composers only a few years later. --PresN 21:58, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete- Let's all say it together now, "Notability is not Inherited". The work itself is notable, but he is not. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:23, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete perhaps abd draft & userfy instead as this article is still questionable for an article. SwisterTwister talk 22:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
