- Keep. Very common and notable phrase in literature, media, etc. Thousands of hits in RSes, centrepiece of every Jane Austen novel, several books with it in the title, newspapers write lists of "Britain's most eligible bachelor", etc... what's the argument for it not being notable, exactly? Also a distinct concept from bachelor and confirmed bachelor, as should be obvious from simply reading the articles. Joe Roe (talk) 16:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I don't know what the nom meant by "unnotable" ("non-notable", perhaps?), but "eligible bachelor" satisfies WP:N, and that's what matters. If the nom wishes to merge the content of this article into Bachelor, AfD is not the place to propose that. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:22, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect [was
Speedy Keep] It is or was a high school. By wp:SCHOOLOUTCOMES(?), we keep it. Any evidence that it exists, is enough. Classmates.com says it has 2000 alumni. Done. --doncram 23:43, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- User:Kudpung may be right about the article being misnamed or the school no longer existing. The Classmates.com link is actually for "Lutheran East High School", of Harper Woods, MI, not "Lutheran High School East". However, there is an alumni reunion scheduled for October 22nd, 2016, and the school reportedly has 2,180 alumni. --doncram 20:21, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia article Notre Dame High School (Harper Woods, Michigan) states that the school was closed in 2004 (and I have now repeated that unsourced assertion in this article). This is not inconsistent with the football team's record linked by User:Clarityfiend, which provides its win-loss records for 2002 and 2003. --doncram 20:36, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete.
Keep.Comment: Changing my vote again to 'delete' based on further research done by John from Idegon and myself. There is decidedly something odd about this article. Such a school does not appear to exist. at least not under the name provided. There is a Lutherian High School, and there is a Harper Woods High School run by the Harper Woods School District, and there are other Lutheran High Schools in Mitchigan but none in Harper Woods and there is no Lutheran High School East (Michigan) in any Ghits. It's possible that the school once existed but has merged, moved, renamed or even closed down but util a street addresss can be found, I'm changing my vote to a neutral comment. The article Made in 1 edit by an SPA and could use some expansion and layout per WP:WPSCH/AG by someone willing.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:50, 10 September 2016 (UTC) Speedy Keep - article shouldn't have been nominated. Meets minimum requirements for notability for a school. Sure does need work tho.John from Idegon (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, further. Kudpung and myself spent an extensive amount of time today researching this school. The only thing either of us found was this, a timeline from the website of the Lutheran school association of Detroit. It did verify the school's creation being branched off another school and clarified it's demise, being merged into another school in 2004. However, there was just one line simply stating each of those bare facts (even disregarding the lack of independence). Further issues: neither the original school, the school this one was folded into, nor the church's regional education association have an existing article. After extensive searching by two experienced editors, nothing more than that was found. Perhaps others would have different results. I've never done this before and probably never will again, but despite guidelines and outcomes, there is not enough to create an article on this school and no reasonable place to redirect it. I'm changing my vote to
DeleteRedirect, per doncram and thanks to him. John from Idegon (talk) 04:07, 11 September 2016 (UTC) signed for change John from Idegon (talk) 07:06, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Thank you to John from Idegon and Kudpung for applying good effort. But this AFD, headed towards "Delete", is going off the rails, relative to what should happen IMHO. Deletion would simply go backwards, and would have persons arriving at Wikipedia and restarting the article, because it is a valid topic. It would "forget" everything figured out here, including that redirecting to Lutheran High School Association (at this moment of writing a red-link, but not for long) would be fine. So find an alternative (wp:ATD) that keeps edit history and discussion, including a Talk page link to this AFD... I'm creating LHSA as a stub and then this AFD should be closed as "Redirect" to there. Relatedly, please see Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy#Proposal: new "Merging to a list" section about expanding the Alternatives To Deletion guideline. --doncram 04:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the lecture Doncram but I know all about our deletion policies and alternatives to deletion (and OUTCOMES), which I regularly advocate myself. However, a school that does not exist or that cannot properly be identified as having existed can obviously not be a candidate for redirect - anywhere. Sorry. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Kudpung, I thought that your position, and the consensus emerging, was that there are not adequate sources to make a decent article, but that LHE certainly existed. So that you would agree a redirect is valid, if there is a suitable redirect target (but no redirect target seemed to exist, so then you would choose to delete instead). I think I am taking a broader view on the role of AFD. I think someone oughta take responsibility to create list-articles (as I argue at the linked proposal) and combo articles like the new LHSA article and/or whatever else is needed, in order to ensure retention of the information/content of contributions in question. I may have sounded critical of K and JfromI for not choosing to be that person, and to some extent I guess I really was critical. Please do accept my apology for that. I should be clear that the responsibility should be "the collective of AFD editors", not any one person's. I am willing to step up and be that person sometimes, as I did here, but I should not have blamed anyone else for not doing that. We are all volunteers, and I strongly believe that it is simply not right to demand that any one editor do any specific thing.
- In conclusion, I want to eliminate AFD decisions like "delete because a needed target article does not yet exist" and to promote decisions like "someone needs to create at least a stub, and the AFD will not be closed until that is done" or "the AFD is closed with consensus that the topic should be kept until target article A has been created, and then it should be merged/redirected". --doncram 21:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

With a 6-8-1 overall and 3-5 Metro Conference record, the Crusaders dealt with dramatic ups and downs all season. A loss to Harper Woods Lutheran High School East (15-2, 15-4) Jan. 28 dealt a blow to the team's morale.

Austin is from Bellevue, Nebraska, a suburb of Omaha, so the Omaha paper covering here win is local coverage. Even if we could consider this a reliable 3rd party source, we would only have one. The only source we have for her broadcasting career is a press release from her employer.

Keep as per Trackinfo --- PageantUpdater (talk) 09:23, 5 September 2016 (UTC)Weak keep per outcome of the RFC. There really isn't much out there.

- Closure Comment - I originally closed as Redirect however TrackInfo had an issue and unbeknown to me they'd actually added sources to the article[3], They're pretty crap IMHO but regardless they should be discussed, If consensus is to redirect I strongly suggest an admin closes it as such. –Davey2010Talk 21:35, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Fails WP:MUSIC with very limited secondary coverage. Please note MTV.com allows registered users and artists to create their own bio page and is not necessarily an indication of notability. Blackguard 21:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I put a link on the article from a notable songwriter and artist Instagram who posted about his album release. Soworship (talk) 21:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I added an instagram post about his release from a worship leader at my church, who was also a contestant on American Idol Season 13. Sharethemessage (talk) 22:08, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- The worship leader having been on American Idol is irrelevant to this article, as notability is not inherited(and that's assuming they're notable). 331dot (talk) 22:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. My google searches turned up little beyond this person's social media accounts. No independent sources have been offered; the ones that have been are MTV(as stated by nominator), a blog post from this person's mom, and the iTunes listings of their music. I haven't yet seen how this musician meets notability guidelines. 331dot (talk) 22:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- It is still other people mentioning Spenser with their own opinion. Soworship (talk) 22:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Anyone can post an opinion about anyone else on the Internet. We deal in what is notable and can be supported. I have asked you specifically which notability criteria for musicians this person meets and haven't really gotten an answer. 331dot (talk) 22:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
He meets the first criteria. I just added an article I found about him in a notable talent competition (IMTA) he competed in and made it to the finals. It talks a lot about him, and I added a paragraph to the article explaining his time there from research I did. I hope this solves our problems with this article. Thank you! Soworship (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. In my opinion, now that the article has the reference from that Casting Hub/IMTA article, it makes him notable enough. Because he does also have social media post about his album release from a notable artist/songwriter. The blog from his mom isn't perfect but it adds a touch more credit to the article as well. I think these three sources make him notable enough to keep. On the other hand, this article does seem to have some good information and is encyclopedic. 99.9.8.224 (talk) 04:24, 10 September 2016 (UTC) — 99.9.8.224 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Please review what independent reliable sources are- the sources given are not that and as such are not acceptable. "Having good information" is not sufficient for an article without such sources. 331dot (talk) 10:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
I just rewrote the bio using the MTV bio and one on his website as a reference. No more copyright issues. Thanks. Soworship (talk) 04:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- While you removed some of it, what remains is still lifted from MTV. It needs to be completely rewritten in your own words. You also don't seem to be understanding what independent reliable sources are, which are things like news stories or coverage that is not associated with this person in any way. 331dot (talk) 10:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: as per nom. No third-party references, looks like self-promotion, and google search doesn't turn up anything else to demonstrate notability. Melcous (talk) 05:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Does the IMTA article not qualify as a reliable source? Soworship (talk) 19:48, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Whether it is or not, it isn't enough to sustain this article. In most cases, multiple sources are needed, or at least one that supports notability. All that piece stated was that he showed up at their event, whose notability itself seems questionable. 331dot (talk) 23:53, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. No claim to notability made – as the nominator noted, Acts of Congress aren't inherently notable. If Congress receives a global report on antisemitism each year (as the legislation seems to require), the report itself might be notable. But the enabling legislation doesn't seem to be. IgnorantArmies (talk) 09:14, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- I actually looked for that on the off chance that might be true. It's not. From 2004-15, there's only three reports available from the State Dept. online, I think two of them aren't the report required by the Act, and the newest is 2010.

The result was Redirect as not only has there been no actual Delete votes, but there has been repeated consensus before that junior high schools themselves are not convincing for an independent article, and therefore can be relinked to a closely related article (NAC).

KeepNot a valid reason for deletion. The draft article was submitted and accepted, and has been worked on by more than one editor. As I told the editor before he opened this AFD, having one of the editors decide to get rid of it simply because the school does not want an article is not a valid reason for deletion. It's not vandalism, there are no BLP issues, I didn't notice any copyvio problems, it's sourced... the only possible reason I can see for a deletion discussion on this article is that it might not meet notability requirements.

- Redirect - This is a junior high school. It does not meet WP:ORG. Per guidelines and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, it should be redirected to Community Consolidated School District 15. The nomination is faulty in just about every way but that doesn't change the way we should deal with this article. Pinging Meters and TomStar81 for reconsideration. John from Idegon (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to district page. Changing from Keep to Redirect now that the nominator has changed [4] the invalid deletion reason to lack of notability. The majority of the sources are merely school district and parents' association info. There are two major media sources in the article, but a nearly quarter-century old mention of a redevelopment project does not confer notability. The almost as old mention of the air quality investigation is potentially more useful for showing notability, but I would want to see solid sources showing that the investigation showed a major problem before this would be notable. Old buildings often have poor ventilation, asbestos, and other issues that need to be addressed. That's not notable. Parents worrying about their children's environment is not notable. Mini clusters of diseases are not notable unless they can be attributed to a cause rather than simply to coincidence. Since there is no mention of a positive result from the investigation I don't see anything particularly notable about this. Meters (talk) 18:09, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Agree that the air quality thing is interesting and different and would make great content in a notable article. Disagree on it's potential to show notability. It's not about the school in general. It doesn't speak to academics, activities or athletics....In other words the things that make the school a school. The only reason it isn't NOTNEWS is the academic source, and I haven't checked the vetting on that. The Tribune is a more or less local source and what came out of it is not discussion in detail. On another point, I'd sure like to know how this passed AfC. John from Idegon (talk) 19:00, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Good point. Even if the environmental issue were fleshed out to show notability it would still be about the building rather than the school itself. Meters (talk) 19:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to district page. There is decidedly something odd about this article. Even the claim to Blue Ribbon is untraceable in any official lists and the school web site itself doesn't mention it, which would be unsusual.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - Not quite sure I understand the nomination. Are you saying that if it were renamed to be e.g. Timeline of websites in Alexa's top 100, it would be a workable list? In other words, I presume the problem is the "popular" part? Thing is -- and this is another aspect to this discussion -- there's already a timeline like this built into History of the Internet as "Examples of popular Internet services". So I guess the first question is whether that's problematic (I suspect there's a reasonable way to set inclusion criteria), and second is whether it should have its own stand-alone timeline. I'm not sure. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:39, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as OR and unclear criteria for inclusion -- i.e. who determines which service was popular? Besides, History of the Internet already provides a similar timeline, so this is redundant. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - please create a new talk page entry about establishing specific inclusion criteria if you think that's needed here instead of an AfD: notability of the topic and public interest is pretty high - there's no reason to delete the article. --Fixuture (talk) 19:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Fixuture: Not to try to change your mind, but since it's relevant to the deletion discussion, how would you work the criteria for inclusion? (I.e. what's "popular"?) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Rhododendrites: That would be the matter of that talk page entry - I'd suggest something like "Internet services with over 20 million monthly (or registered?) users" (at one point in their lifetime; reliably sourced). --Fixuture (talk) 19:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Fixuture: I think it would be possible to do, but the ability to create such an inclusion criteria is relevant to deletion. For example, saying "20 million" defines it with WP:OR. It would have to be based on reliably sourced definitions of "popular"... and sources don't agree on that sort of thing. That's why I floated the idea of reframing it in more specific terms (I used Alexa, but anything with a clear bar that doesn't require OR would work). I've not yet looked to see what they used in the history of the Internet article... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Rhododendrites: Well then I'd say at worst case it would be needed to have it moved - e.g. to "Timeline of Internet services with over 20 million monthly users" or so. But that's very inconvenient - instead the lead could simply state the inclusion criteria. --Fixuture (talk) 20:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Update: Oh, hm. From the looks of it, there was no real discussion about that outline. It was added here in 2011, a few entries were added between then and 2013, when it was split off to Template:Internet history timeline. Damiens.rf tagged it as pov yesterday, but otherwise I'm not seeing much by way of discussion, so who knows.

- Delete. I agree that this is inherently original research. Who defines what's popular? How do you decide whether it should be restricted to the Alexa top 10 or 50 or 100? If all aspects of original research were removed, it would end up being a duplication of history of the internet, as above. I just don't see any way for this to survive. Either way, it's breaking policy. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:52, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment @NinjaRobotPirate:
- Who defines what's popular? How do you decide whether it should be restricted to the Alexa top 10 or 50 or 100?
- Per discussion. Just not here but on the page's talk page.
- If all aspects of original research were removed, it would end up being a duplication of history of the internet
- How that? The history of the Internet is a history of the infrastructure, technology and general usage and not the specific content and services on it.
- I just don't see any way for this to survive. Either way, it's breaking policy.
- I don't agree on that. At worst case the name of the article would need to be changed. But imo that's nitpicking / inconvenient.

- Delete per WP:NOT#OR. This is patent original research. There is no way to decide what is "popular" without a
bitlot of OR. I see this list as totally unencyclopeadic and considering that the information already exists in other forms, I will go with a delete. No point in wasting time to find out a criteria for inclusion. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:01, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Lemongirl942: There are multiple ways how "popular" can be bound to specific inclusion criteria for this article. Also one could rename the article, removing "popular". In what other forms does this information exist in the extent & openness of the article in subject? I think a timeline of the content & services on the Internet is very useful and important info.--Fixuture (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- "Popular" is an unencyclopaedic word with no clear definitions. If someone can find a scholarly definition of "popular Internet service" I would be glad to keep the article. But I doubt anyone has ever found something like that in the entire history of Wikipedia and . If we define it ourselves, it will be OR. Basically I don't see any way this is useful for an encyclopaedia. There is no way to solve this by "editing" either. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

- @Rhododendrites: Well it hasn't been long since you started the discussion. Also the suggestions you made there seem good enough - why not use one or multiple of them?

- @Fixuture: The point of that thread is to figure out what the list was to be based on (after the discussion was initially closed as no consensus). I didn't have a good answer -- all of those I listed are problematic in various ways -- and nobody suggested something better. I've now opened a similar thread at Talk:History of the Internet. If it can be worked out for the purpose of that sidebar, then I wouldn't be opposed to a stand-aloen article in the future. For now, however, we have a pile of OR and no inclusion criteria. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

- Weak Delete, or maybe WP:TNT. I think the concept is a valid basis for an article, and History of the Internet is such a broad topic (and long article), this could easily be spun off as a useful an interesting article on its own. But, as several people have pointed out, the inclusion criteria are are ill-defined. For example, the current article leaves one with the impression that Coursera, Vine, and Tinder were the three most important things to happen on the Internet in 2012. Were they? I don't know, but I'd like to have some better way to determine that. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:04, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- @RoySmith:
- For example, the current article leaves one with the impression that Coursera, Vine, and Tinder were the three most important things to happen on the Internet in 2012. Were they?
- Why do they leave you with that impression? The article is just about new services not about everything happening on the Internet. The list is incomplete but more or less these are the three most important new services/websites that were initiated in 2012.
- But, as several people have pointed out, the inclusion criteria are are ill-defined.
- As said earlier, the inclusion criteria can still get defined better on the talk page.
- --Fixuture (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep this boils down to two issues: 1) WP:OR and 2) the content of the article. To me, the OR argument doesn't hold water because all of this information is searchable and retrievable through various sources. I find it highly unlikely that individual editors are using this as the source of their original research. As for the content of the article, those are all editing issues and not deletion issues. Therefore, I say we keep it.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- ?? What "information" are you talking about that's searchable and retrievable through various sources? The existence of websites with these names? What exactly determines inclusion here, and where can we "search and retrieve" information about that sense of "popular"? If there's no clear inclusion criteria, then it's WP:OR by definition. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:08, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Based on your comment, I don't believe you have a grasp on what WP:OR covers. Not having a clear inclusion criteria has nothing to do with Original Research. Not having a clear inclusion criteria covers decisions about specific content of the topic. This is a deletion review where we discuss the deletion or retention of the entire article, not the specific contents of the article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:17, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Of course it does, when a title includes a word like "popular" that requires editors to apply their own interpretation. Not having a clear inclusion criteria means editors apply their own subjective interpretations when determining what should be on the list. The content of a list (the items it includes) is subject to WP:OR, WP:NPOV, WP:V, etc. and therefore inclusion criteria "should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources." When an editor decides for him/herself what "popular" means rather than basing it on a clear inclusion criteria (one that is unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources), that's original research. It's possible for a list to have no clear inclusion criteria and not have obvious OR problems, sure, but not when the title of the list includes a word like "popular", because without defining that term with reliable sources, editors must use original research in order to add to the list. Whether it be going by one's own personal definition of "popular" or choosing for themselves a sourced definition. At the most basic level, you could say that if every entry were sourced to something calling it "popular", then sure, you could say there's no OR -- it would just be utterly indiscriminate in its inconsistency. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:58, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Editing can solve that issue. It's not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:55, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- Editing cannot solve this issue. The issue is that there is no unambiguous definition of the word popular. If the material in the article is valuable, the article can always be userfied/draftified. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- Selecting a different wording (Top 5 Internet Services by year, History of Internet Services, etc.) would solve that and word selection is indeed "editing" --Paul McDonald (talk) 11:58, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Or maybe not "top 5" but some other measure that is specific. In any event, that is word selection which is decidedly an editing issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:53, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Between the Timeline of web browsers, List of Internet pioneers, more specific articles like List of virtual communities with more than 100 million users, History of blogging, and history of webcomics, and categories like Category:Internet properties by year of establishment, I'd want to see a pretty well-established list here or none at all. The topic ("internet services") is incredibly general. This timeline includes technologies, websites, and web applications, without distinction. "Popular" is even vaguer. Was Keenspot popular enough to be listed? The service was influential and used by many people, but I think everyone here would agree it doesn't even come near the likes of Yahoo!. How about Outlook.com? Used by millions, but so are plenty of other services. Honestly, I don't think this list can serve any purpose other than being a popularity contest. Can I add Marktplaats.nl? It's used by millions of people, so that counts as popular, right? ~Mable (chat) 19:44, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- Comment @Maplestrip: None of these captures what this list is about. Category:Internet properties by year of establishment includes every Internet property and not just the popular ones and the other articles are about specific types of Internet services. It's supposed to be that general - especially as there are new types of Internet websites/services/... getting established (innovation and novelties per year is a main point of the article). For the definition of "popular" please see the previous discussion - let's decide upon inclusion criteria on its talk page. Keenspot seems to have been several orders of magnitude beneath the other items of the list in terms of popularity - it may have been used by many people interested in webcomics which aren't that many. I think this list has been going fine until now so why should that change just now...and there is the issue of the missing inclusion criteria - but that's not a point for deleting the article but instead requires us to simply define some on the talk page. --Fixuture (talk) 20:15, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not just worried about the lack of inclusion criteria, however, but I am also audited about the actual scope. Are there even sources specifically listing or discussing major "Internet services"? If so, what sources would list web browsers and websites side-by-side? The vagueness of "internet services" worries me a lot. I would prefer a timeline of popular Internet technologies and a timeline of popular websites. I'm sure we already have a list of best-sold mobile apps (I'm on mobile right now, so checking is hard) (EDIT: like this?). These kind of things are much better defined and result in a meaningful collection of items. ~Mable (chat) 21:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

We clearly now have consensus developed that such absolutely does not make someone notable. Losh's other roles were even more non-notable.

The fact that this article plagued with "citation needed" and having no reliable sources at all, just a listing to IMDb (totally not reliable) and to whatever hometownlife is, can survive one deletion nomination and a reasonable redirect request just shows how flawed in favor of articles on totally unnotable people Wikipedia is.

- Keep All claims of WP:BIO1E against almost all beauty pageant winners are invalid. They win a State or National title, then, separately go on to compete at the next higher level. Equate this to WP:NSPORT where every athlete has to qualify at their preliminary level before going to a major competition. In this case she won Miss Michigan and then competed in the Miss USA. Additional to her case, she also has a credited role in a major motion picture, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was quoted in the New York Times supporting Donald Trump after the network coverage for her pageant was cancelled due to his racist comments about Mexicans while announcing for president.

- Comment -- IMO, WP:BIO1E exactly applies. The state level winners may be notable for their state level win; but they are not notable for competing in the next level pageant, if they do not win. Miss America or Miss USA are not the Olympics :-). K.e.coffman (talk) 00:22, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment One of the keep votes above says "she had a credited role in Batman v. Superman:Dawn of Justice". Her role is listed as "beautiful woman". Having watched that film twice, that description gives me no clue as to where she appeared in the film. It is an extreme bit part. Not at all the stuff notability is made from. The Detroit Free Press article this is sourced from basically is "look, some local people are in a top billed film." Nothing in that references works towards notability. Especially since the mention to Wawrzyniak was a rushed one line mention even in the Free Press article. Also, being quoted in the NYT or anywhere else is not a sign of notability. What is needed to suggest passing GNG is indepth coverage, not a passing quote.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:01, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Being "meritorious of being credited" is not at all any standard for inclusion of a person in Wikipedia, so I do not have to admit anything. I have zero memory of what her role was, so I don't have to admit anything. Actually, more to the point, the description tells us nothing. Having a the role as a character who lacks a name is almost universally a sign it is a very minor part. Having watched the film twice I know this is not an exception. Our notability guidelines say we need "significant" parts, which are almost never unnamed roles, not just "credited" roles. The only sources I could find on this were the Free Press article which is full of people whose role in the film is truly minor, and yet Wawzyniak gets even less coverage than the others, and IMDb, which is not a reliable source, and explicitly called a non-reliable source by our guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:37, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. I distinclty remember it being widely used in the context of Starcraft, primarily associated with the Zerg race; searches of the term in relation to that game should provide some useful reliable sources. "Zerg rush" seems to be a popular thing, in fact the term is so significant that Google dedicated it an easter egg (look at this video if you don't have javascript enabled). Diego (talk) 20:21, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- I do see more news articles mentioning the strategy now, but very few seem to go into any depth about it. The Wall Street Journal happens to give a dictionary definition, while summaries of high-level matches may make use of the word. PC Gamer mentioned it but didn't talk about it, while The Inquisitor indirectly does say something about the tactic, but drawing a conclusion from it would basically be original research on the editor's part. I'd still rather see this merged into the glossary and trimmed from its original research. If we find better sources, we can always apply them there, and it will always be possible to spin the article out again lateron. ~Mable (chat) 09:16, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Google Books provides a good number of further sources, which include further commentary and analysis of the tactic on players. [5][6][7][8][9]; one of them is a scholarly source that briefly explores its etymology [10].

- Delete. This article seems really problematic to me and I offer my condolences in advance to the admin who closes this debate. First of all, the article conflates the terms "alpha strike" and "rush"; I can see where the logic lies in that, but none of the cited references make this correlation, so that appears to be original research. Secondly, most of the sources are talking specifically about "Zerg rush", which is a term from the game Starcraft that bled through into wider nerd culture. I think there's an argument to be made for having a Zerg rush article (which exists as a redirect to the article in question as of now) but not the reverse. If this article is kept, the "alpha strike" content needs to be excised and moved somewhere else. A Traintalk 11:29, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

- Sorry -- I didn't make my position very clear. I think the article ought to be deleted. If the article is kept then the article should be moved to Zerg rush, for which I think there is a slightly better argument.

The last one is a post from a LiveJournal blog, which is not a reliable source. Pageviews are irrelevant. No indication of notability. Linguist 111 Moi? Moi. 02:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Weak delete: If we had more of her career besides the reality shows, it might help, but I'm not seeing it.

Subject is a Professor. He appears to fail WP:NACADEMICS, but it is a fairly narrow fail. I would go with a very weak delete at this time. I declined PROD as no valid reason was given on the PROD template and because I feel this warrants a discussion. Safiel (talk) 15:52, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Article was previously deleted at AfD, but that was ten years ago and he was a newly minted PhD at the time, making deletion the obvious choice. That is no longer the situation so the reasoning at the first AfD no longer applies. Safiel (talk) 15:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: The deleting editor referred at one point to "self-promotion". So I checked the edit history and sure enough Bauer himself twice edited the page:
- once to correct the town and date of his birth
- once to change the field of study list from category theory and homotopy theory to constructive mathematics and 3 other fields
- If this counts as self-promotion then we are all subject to deletion.
- Bauer was a principal researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study during their seminar on Homotopy Theory. In fact, he apparently wrote most of the report summarizing that major initiative in mathematical theory of higher categories. He has worked with Steve Awodey, Michael Shulman, Thierry Coquand, and other major figures. How is he not notable?--Toploftical (talk) 21:03, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. The fact that he was a visiting scholar at a special semester at IAS does not make him notable -- that kind of thing is standard and happens to every moderately successful mathematician, usually on multiple occasions during their career. His mathematical footprint appears to have been fairly light thus far; MathSciNet gives him a grand total of only 105 citations, which is quite low. Presumably most of his work is in Computer Science, and GScholar give an h-index of 13; that's still pretty low, especially given that GScholar's h-index is an over-estimate as it includes citations to arXiv preprints and such. I looked at his webpage for more details, but I am not seeing anything else there to indicate notability per WP:PROF, such as journal editorships, named lectures, prizes/awards, etc. Just not seeing much here to hang one's hat on in terms of passing WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 13:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - I am Andrej Bauer. I have now been told by Class455 (on his talk page) that even adding my own date of birth to my page is a Conflict of Interest. This is completely absurd and it makes a travesty of Wikipeida. Wikipedia once again demonstrates that they care more about their bureaucracy than attracting well-meaning contributors who have better things to do in life than to memorize a thousand Wikipedia policies. Go ahead, delete the page. I'll be proud to have been deleted twice. And don't forget to delete the Slovenian version, too. Oh wait, perhaps there is a Wikipedia policy which states that I cannot vote about myself? AndrejBauer (talk) 13:48, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- You need to climb down off your high horse. Yes, even an innocuous edit of the type you describe by definition constitutes WP:COI, but that is not a significant reason to delete the article. When properly disclosed and managed, and confined to minor non-promotional edits, COI is perfectly fine and is no reason for deletion. There are thousands of pages on Wikipedia of that kind and they exist with no significant problems. If you notice, neither of the Delete voters above (myself, Class455 and the nominator) brought up the COI issue as a reason to delete the article here in this AfD discussion. The real issue is notability, in the sense of satisfying WP:PROF or WP:BIO or WP:GNG. If you can make the case for satisfying the requirements of one of these notability guidelines, then by all means, please do so. But if you just want to feel like a martyr on the pyre of righteousness, then indeed you should head for the exit sign. Nsk92 (talk) 15:13, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- So let me see if I understand this correctly. Providing my date of birth and field of work is a conflict of interest and/or self-promotion, but making a case for my own notability is not? Honestly? Just delete the page, please, and let this end. I made my opinion clear by casting my vote. I am not notable enough and I think you made a reasonable assessment. AndrejBauer (talk) 15:37, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- "Providing my date of birth and field of work is a conflict of interest and/or self-promotion, but making a case for my own notability is not?" In a strictly formal sense, that's correct. WP:COI makes it clear that COI editing refers to editing of Wikipedia articles. Edits in project space, such as editing of talk pages of articles, AfD discussions etc, are not considered to be COI edits (provided, of course, the relation to subject of the article is properly disclosed). So, you can make a case in an AfD that you are notable; or you can make a case at the talk page of an article about yourself that some favorable piece of information about you should be included in the article. Doing that would be perfectly fine, although, of course, it won't guarantee that your argument will carry the day. Nsk92 (talk) 16:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

- Weak delete. Mathematics is a low-citation field so his citations on Google scholar don't give a convincing pass of WP:PROF#C1, but neither do they indicate any problem. And I think Bauer's own edits to the article can be discounted as an issue: they're the sort of thing anyone new to Wikipedia seeing an article about themself would do, and he's become aware of our autobiography policy and backed out the edits. The problem is, we don't have anything more than his position (full professor at a decent university) and citation record (good for pure mathematics but not enough to base a case for notability here) to go on. He's clearly a successful academic, and I think more accomplished than the median academic biography here on Wikipedia, but without verifiable evidence of notability I don't see how to argue to keep this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

- I disagree. I do not think WP:ILIKEIT applies here. I am not arguing about the article. I was just pointing out a source. The idea behind Random Art algorithm is extremely powerful. The program has been around for about 20 years and still attracts a lot of attention and produces remarkable effects by using a collection of simple rules. Very early it has been spotted as a prime example of hash visualization and user authentication through image recognition.Tomo (talk) 02:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete (although a weak one)
- The subject's field is Computational Mathematics which is one of the low cited fields in Computer Science. For this, I usually tend to look for an h-index > 20 as opposed to the > 30 in other fields like security and computer vision. The current h-index of 13 is a bit on the low side unfortunately, but will probably increase.
- I don't see significant coverage, so WP:PROF needs to be satisfied. Unfortunately, I'm unable to see the chair/distinguished professor requirement being fulfilled or significant coverage of any other research work. Neither are any of the other requirements satisfied.
- I feel this is WP:TOOSOON right now but the subject may be notable in the future. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I am the original creator of this article and have recently added more material and citations to it to buttress notability. Regarding the comment above about Computational mathematics: This is a vast and active field. I do not know why User:Lemongirl942 says that it is a "low cited field in Computer Science". Could you provide a link that cites this "low citation" rate. Moreover, this is just one of the fields in which Bauer has made significant contributions. He appears to be one of the key figures in the emerging field of Homotopy type theory a field which has attracted the attention of a lot of prominent people–Thierry Coquand, Vladimir Voevodsky, Peter Aczel, André Joyal, Per Martin-Löf, Michael Shulman, Steve Awodey, and Thorsten Altenkirch among others. Bauer is also an important reasearcher in programming languages, particularly in the areas such as Exception_handling and Effect systems. This work has had a direct effect on major languages such as OCaml and Haskell. Unfortunately this work has not been mentioned in the article. Somebody should add it.
- This deletion was originally proposed by User 50.252.116.51 who is apparently the same person as User:William Of Orange–see "I have proposed this article for deletion William Of Orange 14:21, 24 August 2016" on Talk:Andrej Bauer. Both these user identities are throwaway user pages and were apparently created solely for making this single deletion nomination. I must admit, I am curious as to who this person is.
- I am truly baffled as to why some people think this article should be deleted. If this guy is deleted for not being notable, then at least half of the mathematician articles in Wikipedia also qualify for deletion. I will be glad to provide a list.--Toploftical (talk) 19:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- You need to offer something more than angry recriminations as a reason to keep the article. Specifically, you need to indicate how and why it satisfies some specific criteria of WP:PROF. In your post above you explained that Bauer has worked in several important modern fields. But you need to show that Bauer's contributions to those fields are widely regarded as important. In his case all we seem to have to go by at the moment is the citability data in GScholar (which gives him a fairly low h-index of 13), and in MathSciNet, which gives him a total of 107 citations. That's it, there is nothing else that I can see in terms of indicating passing WP:PROF: no prestigious awards, no journal editorships, no named or particularly prestigious lectures (like ICM talks), no named chair/professor appointments, no being elected fellow/member of scholarly societies, no publications in particularly prestigious journals (for Math things like Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae and the like), or anything of the sort. Compare that to some of the other names you mention above. Lets put aside someone as obviously famous as Vladimir Voevodsky and look at Thierry Coquand. GScholar gives him an h-index of 27, with top cited publications of 1425, 436, 305, 285, 249, 219. That alone would easily make him pass WP:PROF#C1. Then, according to his CV, he won a Wallmarska prize from the Swedish Royal Academy of Science in 2001, gave the Skolem Lecture in Oslo in November 2005, and was elected a member of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg in 2011. Plus he is an editorial board member of two journals, and was a guest editor of two special issues of journals. Perhaps that's an extreme case, but this is a very different picture from what we have in the case if Andrej Bauer, where, at least for the moment, nothing of the sort has been brought to light. Nsk92 (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- I should qualify my comments by saying that Tomo's post above might actually have been onto something. Part of Bauer's work seems to do with computer visualization and computer art. If he produced some program/software that is widely used and is influential, that fact wouldn't necessarily up in standard citability searches, because people often cite the use of software in weird ways (e.g. in the form of footnotes rather than as bibliography items; I must admit that I have been guilty of doing that myself until some colleagues taught me that the proper way to cite the use of computer software package is to reference the user manual as a bibliography item.) However, if that is indeed the case here, and if Bauer has developed some widely influential computer art/visualization software, this fact still needs to be clearly demonstrated in convincing some way by sufficiently many references to independent WP:RS. Then I would be happy to change my vote to 'keep'. Nsk92 (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Some of Bauer's work involves computer visualization, computer art, and authentication schemes based on visual recall of random images. It is a rather technical field and a bit above my pay grade. But if you think if would help, I know how to to find the appropriate sources and could document that material. It will take a bit of work. Will I have any warning if the article was about to be deleted? I am quite sincere that I do not understand why his notability is in question. When I look at User profiles for "Andrej Bauer" I see Cited by 701. I am not sure exactly what that number means but it seemed impressive to me. It is true that Bauer has apparently not published anything in Annals of Mathematics. But that is not the appropriate venue for the field that he is in. He has published lots of stuff in Annals of Pure and Applied Logic and the Journal of Logic and Computation and other journals in his several fields of interest. Moreover, a lot of Bauer's work is in online forums like GitHub and I am not sure Wikipedia fully recognizes work published in such forums. BTW, I am amazed that nobody has written an article for Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. It is cited in over 70 Wikipedia articles. You mentioned the h-index of Thierry Coquand in GScholar. I could not find this number. Could you tell me how to link to this information and also to the corresponding info for Bauer.--Toploftical (talk) 03:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- 701 is the total number of citations in GScholar. When you click on the blue link with his name there, it takes you to his Scholar profile page where you can also see more detailed data, including his h-index (according to GScholar) of 13. Regarding 701 as a total number of citations, and h-index of 13 as the GScholar h-index: these are respectable numbers but no more than that. For pure math these are fairly average numbers for an active mathematician at Bauer's career stage, and for someone a part of whose work is in Computer Science, where publication and citation rates are higher, these numbers are kind of low. Compare these results with those of Thierry Coquand, where the top cited paper alone nets 1426 citations, more than twice 701 grand total of Bauer. About the journals. Annals of Mathematics is the premier mathematical journal for the entire Mathematics. Every mathematician, regardless of his/her area, be it logic, model theory, homotopy theory, differential equations, graph theory, number theory or whatever, dreams of publishing a paper there, and having done so is viewed as the signature achievement of one's career. So if a logician or a model theorist or a homotopy theorist has not published a paper in the Annals of Mathematics, it is certainly not because it is not "the appropriate venue" for their field. The two journals that you mentioned Annals of Pure and Applied Logic and "Journal of Logic and Computation" are OK journals, but they certainly don't have the same standing (either in math or in CS or as interdisciplinary journals) as Annals of Mathematics. For comparison, Journal Citation Reports gives Annals of Mathematics the impact factor of 3.116, while APAL gets 0.582 and JLC gets 0.585. Now, I am in pure math myself, but my colleagues tell me that in theoretical CS the most prestigious publications are actually not journals but conference proceedings of two premier conference series called FOCS and STOC. I did not see anything like that in Bauer's record either (although perhaps for computer visualization these venues do not really apply). To answer your last question about how I computed the h-index for Thierry Coquand in Scholar. I had to do this manually, using the definition of h-index and the results of GScholar search for his name [11]. I took the page with those results and counted down to find the latest n such the the n-th publication on the list has at least n citation. If I did not miscount, if was n=27. For some people, like Bauer, who have created their GScholar profile pages, the job is easier, because the h-index is already displayed there. But Coquand did not do that, and so his h-index had to be computed manually, from the results of the Scholar search. Nsk92 (talk) 13:17, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- It is correct that STOC and FOCS are the top conferences in theoretical computer science, but they're both much more Theory A than Theory B, and Bauer's work fits Theory B better. Looking through Bauer's CS pubs in DBLP I see one 2002 paper in ICALP (the top European theory conference, and much more friendly to Theory B), and other than that only more specialized conferences. For visualization the top conferences would be SIGGRAPH or InfoVis. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:10, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Nsk92 (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- Reply to Nsk92: I did some checking of the metrics that you are applying. I agree that some of them, the h-level of 13 for Bauer, is low compared with many mathematician articles in WP (although I did find a couple lower than that). But before I throw in the towel, I want to make a couple of points. First, the field that Bauer is in only comprises twenty or thirty people at most. One has to know higher category theory, computer science, type theory, homotopy theory and other things to even participate. Homotopy type theory, in particular, is very new. It is unfamiliar to most mathematicians and they would have little reason to cite papers in that field. To some extent, these people mostly talk to each other–on GitHub and the n-Category Cafe– for instance. That does not mean that type theory, for example, is not important–far from it.
- You emphasized that Bauer has no papers published in Annals of Mathematics or Inventiones Mathematicae. Quite honestly, these journals do not have the same prestige they had ten years ago. For one thing, there has been a rebellion among some mathematicians against publishing in such expensive and proprietary journals, John Baez and Timothy Gowers, for example, refuse to publish in Inventiones (owned by Springer Science+Business Media) on principal. They believe that a high-quality math journal can be inexpensively produced outside of the traditional, and extremely profitable, academic publishing industry. This partly explains why the book Homotopy Type Theory: Univalent Foundations of Mathematics (in which Bauer is a principal co-author) is absolutely free and why much of the work done in the field is online in the aforementioned GitHub and open access sites such as arXiv. In short, I am just not sure that the usual metrics for estimating notability apply in this case.--Toploftical (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- As an active professional mathematician myself, I can tell you that the big three, the Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae and Journal of the American Mathematical Society, remain enormously prestigious and influential. Of course, I am aware of Tim Gowers' endeavors and the Forum of Mathematics Pi and Sigma journals. It remains to be seen what the future of those journals will be because a huge portion of the mathematical community considers it an absolute anathema to make the authors pay for publishing their papers. But that is beside my main point. I am not saying that the fact that Baueur did not publish a paper in Annals/Inventiones/JAMS implies that he is not notable. But I am saying that we need some positive tangible evidence supporting the claim that he is notable. It is not enough to say that he works in an important area where some other famous people have done some famous work. It is also not enough to make a vague claim that the usual standards may not apply in this case. You still need to produce convincing positive evidence that this particular academic is in fact notable. Incidentally, regarding the journals: there are other highly prestigious journals, just below Inventiones, that are published by non-commercial publishers and with which people like Gowers and Baez have no problems: Duke, Acta Mathematica, Journal of the European Mathematical Society, for example. Plus Annals of Mathematics itself is quite affordable, as is the Journal of the American Mathematical Society. So people in Math concerned about high journal prices and looking for an elite journal need only avoid submitting to Inventiones. Plus since 2013 the Forum of Mathematics option set up by Gowers is available too. But WP:PROF offers many other ways of showing academic notability: Through prizes/awards, journal editorships, named/highly prestigious lectures, being an elected member/fellow of an academic society, etc. Or evidence of introducing some concept/idea/notion/innovation/theorem that turned out to be important in a particular subject. Etc. Nsk92 (talk) 14:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- You emphasized that Bauer has no papers published in Annals of Mathematics or Inventiones Mathematicae. Quite honestly, these journals do not have the same prestige they had ten years ago. For one thing, there has been a rebellion among some mathematicians against publishing in such expensive and proprietary journals, John Baez and Timothy Gowers, for example, refuse to publish in Inventiones (owned by Springer Science+Business Media) on principal. They believe that a high-quality math journal can be inexpensively produced outside of the traditional, and extremely profitable, academic publishing industry. This partly explains why the book Homotopy Type Theory: Univalent Foundations of Mathematics (in which Bauer is a principal co-author) is absolutely free and why much of the work done in the field is online in the aforementioned GitHub and open access sites such as arXiv. In short, I am just not sure that the usual metrics for estimating notability apply in this case.--Toploftical (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- Just to clarify my comment of "low cited field". While I don't have exact stats, my personal experience shows that Computational mathematics is one of the lower cited fields in Computer Science. This is particularly true if you compare it to vision or security where it is much easier to publish papers leading to an inflated h-index. Which is why when I vote on AfDs, I adjust my threshold for h-index. For someone in computational mathematics, an h-index of 20 indicates a pretty good record (while for someone in security I will demand a higher h-index > 30). --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Reply to Lemongirl942: You mention circumstances that would cause the h-index to be inflated. So is the h-index reliable or not? I hope the former is the case since so many people are depending on its accuracy. Are you arguing for or against Bauer's notability?--Toploftical (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- My own opinion is that the h-index can be ok as a way of comparing people who work on the same research topic but not when comparing people in different topics, even of the same general discipline, because of issues like the one raised by Lemongirl where different topics have different patterns of citation. One should also make sure to use the same citation index because different indexes give different numbers and some of them miss important publication venues (Web of Science is bad for CS for that reason). I would also add that my impression (without much evidence) is that it is much harder for computational topics such as the ones Bauer works on to get into Annals or Inventiones, as it is not the sort of mathematics that the people who run those journals prefer. So (like the h-index) not having a paper in those places is not evidence of any problem. But it is also not evidence of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete I'm not sure whether I have a vote here as the person who originally nominated the page for deletion, I'd imagine that I do not. I maintain that the notability criterion here is not satisfied by the material on his page. I am not familiar enough with mathematical computer science to know the overall importance of the field, but the page in question almost certainly does not provide information useful to people interested in either the social or mathematical advancement of the field.
- To respond to the thinly-veiled allegations above that I have some personal grudge against Professor Bauer, I refer you to my user page wherein it details that I am a graduate student in philosophy. I have no connection to the subject of the page outside of wikipedia edits (of course, I think the numerous other votes toward Delete suggest the irrelevance of this point). In the past I have similarly made suggestions of pages to delete, but since I am a scatterbrain my wikipedia accounts are only accessible via automatic logging associated with my computer. My university recently generously provided me with a new computer, and this page was the first I found after this that didn't seem to pass the notability criterion.

- Delete Although certainly an important topic all of its information is already given in other articles on the history and current situation of China and Taiwan. (I assert with confidence, but not having personally checked it out. If not it should be added there.) I don't think we would have an article on "Two United Stateses" to suppliment our articles on the American Civil War and the Confederate States of America, nor would we have "Two Vietnams" or "Two Germanies". Do we even have Two Koreas? Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- The difference is that the Chinese Civil War is still technically ongoing, without even an armistice like the Korean War, and entirely unlike those in Vietnam, Germany, and America. There's Division of Korea, though that's more about the way in which they were divided. If this is considered equivalent to Division of China, most of the background would be in Chinese Civil War. There's 1992 Consensus, One Country on Each Side and One-China policy - which might be seen as a counterpart to this, as represented by the fact that this article is linked in that article's lede. GreenReaper (talk) 10:21, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Mostly merge to a comparative section within One-China policy, or perhaps other articles if deemed appropriate. Many of the topics raised here may be viewed as a "reality check" on the one-China policy as proposed by both parties, and separating it biases both that article and this one. "Two Chinas" as a phrase may have some importance, similar to "One Country on Each Side", but if so the article should be focused on that and backed up with references of its use in that context. GreenReaper (talk) 10:21, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Merge I'm certain that more political reasons influenced this rather than just contributors simply disagreeing with each other. As a important tpoic I'm very surprised there isn't a complete article explaining this in a clear manner. However, for merging, either keeping only One-China policy or only Two Chinas might be controversial, so I personally think should be a more neutral title. Or, keep, since this subject may qualify the reasoning "Articles whose subject is a POV". Blueeighthnote (talk) 04:47, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep This term seems to be used widely. It is actually interchangeably with "Two China policy" or "One China one Taiwan". It is essentially an alternative to the one China policy and refers to the situation where China would govern the current territory held by PRC and Taiwan governs the territory held by ROC. It seems the term used to have a previous meaning earlier though. (See [12]). Regardless, I think it is worth keeping this article and adding more information. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:26, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

- Keep and consider renaming to One China principle. As the article on One-China policy states in its lede section:
- Quote: The One China policy is also different from the "One China principle" (一个中国原则; 一個中國原則; yīgè Zhōngguó yuánzé), which is the principle that insists both Taiwan and mainland China are inalienable parts of a single "China".[3]
- The two "Chinas" are quite different to the two Indies, the two Washingtons, the two Galicias or the multiple Guineas and Guyanas. It sometimes happens that two titles that appear to be near opposites are in fact the same topic and covered in the same article. One of the joys of reading Wikipedia is coming across such an article and realizing the equivalence. The phrase "Two Chinas" is thus equivalent to the One China principle.
- The article now reads too much like a disambiguation page. It would be better to move or copy the beginning of the section Current situation to the lede section of the article:
- Quote: "The People's Republic of China (which administers mainland China) and Republic of China (which administers Taiwan) do not officially recognize each other's sovereignty. The official position of the governments of both the People's Republic of China and Republic of China remain that there is only one sovereign entity of China, and that each of them represents the legitimate government of all of China - including both mainland China and Taiwan - and the other is illegitimate."
- -- Petri Krohn (talk) 10:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Seems to me that they're opposites - Two Chinas says there are two Chinas, One China Principle says there is one. Either way, Keep as it's covered in ample sources. But oppose renaming since they're not the same at all. Smartyllama (talk) 21:10, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- I agree here. One China principle is actually a proposed approach of the Mainland Chinese government according to which Taiwan will ultimately be reunited with the mainland and it will be governed as "one country two systems". This is not the same as "Two Chinas" which advocates an independent Taiwan (as a country separate from Mainland China). --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

This article was declined three times at AfC before its creator, who has not edited outside of this page and related talk discussions, moved it into mainspace. There is no solid, independent evidence this pianist is notable; the article fails all criteria for WP:COMPOSER (or the other applicable music guidelines) and WP:ANYBIO; Jegunova received the Steinway Award, which does not appear to be terribly significant on its own, garnering no coverage in reliable sources. While Jegunova might prove notable in the future, the lack of relevant coverage in reliable sources make it clear it is simply too soon for an article. —0xF8E8 (talk) 22:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Declined a speedy deletion request for this article because it makes a notability claim as a CEO and there are some reliable sources. Bringing it here for wider audience review as (a) the company he is CEO of is small and arguably not notable, and (b) the references are reliable but small-scale (essentially local or regional media). Other views welcome. -- Euryalus (talk) 04:51, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

- Keep A few things from a quick search: in some articles it states he is President, while other he is CEO. Not sure if that is relevant. Beyond that, its safe to say its better to improve the article than to delete it as its very clear he is a television personality and on CNBC - and that alone should warrant a Wiki article. I have updated the article from the OP to fix some issues but it may just be better to revise pieces from Career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clevelandhustlesfan23 (talk • contribs) 07:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect to Cleveland Hustles: He does not appear to meet GNG/ANYBIO as his business coverage is thin, and appears to be primarily Ohio-based. Nor does he meet WP:ENTERTAINER, though as a regular participant on a CNBC reality show with a national reach and an angel investor focus, Cleveland Hustles, it could/should include compressed versions of the business history of Arora and any other regulars for whom individual notability cannot be clearly established. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as the Keep vote is from an SPA and then the Merge vote itself states how he's not actually independently notable. The article itself is noticeably PR-like and only contains sources that are apparently meant to suggest that alone is enough for an article, but it's of course not, because we would have needed actual substance from those sources and information for an acceptable article, SwisterTwister talk 07:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- Here's WP:BEFORE#C4 verbatim: "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term."
- Is the topic a likely search term for someone watching Cleveland Hustles? Yes (although the show's viewership is not great, and declining). Does Arora need to be independently notable (to the level of GNG) to be merged? No. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. Malverne is nowhere near large enough a town to hand its mayors an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL, so his includability would be entirely dependent on passing WP:NMUSIC for the "Britton's Orchestra" stuff. But that's all completely unsourced, and even if sources can be found I'm betting dollars to donuts that they would support the notability of the band rather than a separate standalone article about him as an individual. All we've got for sourcing here is one article in the local newspaper about his appointment to the village council and a user-generated genealogy site for his birth and death dates — and that's not enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of the fact that he doesn't pass any subject-specific inclusion criteria.

The result was no consensus. I'm closing this as 'No consensus' because it's basically a long drawn out argument between two users with no end in sight.

Lack of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Most sources are mere mentions that he played a game. The only source that really covers him is Redbull.com, which is questionable as a reliable source. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:45, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep he is the founder and captain of one of the most successful teams in Dota history, OG. The "mere mentions" that discuss this player are all within the context of OG's victories in major tournaments, which are covered by reliable sources. Additionally Redbull has generally been accepted as a reliable source.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

- Being part of the team (even the captain) doesn't make him inherently notable. The standard for GNG is significant coverage of him as a person. Those mere mentions of him being on a team support facts, but not notability. I've started a discussion at RSN about Redbull.com, but I couldn't find any discussion there before. If you have diffs to the discussion that showed this source is a RS, please share. Additionally, interviews are usually weak as a basis for GNG since it's really a primary source talking about himself. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:57, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- There are only five players on any Dota team, and being the captain means shouldering more than 1/5 of the responsibility. Also, the notability of this player is not based solely on that random interview, which is there only to back up his interest in Krav Maga. --Prisencolin (talk) 01:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- We don't use speculations about the "amount of responsibility" to establish notability. That random interview is the only source that does more than talk about the fact that he played. It's the closest think you have to significant coverage. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- The bottom line is there is plenty more significant coverage for this person, and I'll add it right now.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure how that doesn't make sense to you. I'll try again for you: 1) What guideline tells us to speculate about "amount of responsibility" on the team as a measure of notability? 2) I didn't say his notability was based on a random interview. I said that interview was the most significant amount of coverage, but it's him, talking about himself. 3) Articles saying he played a game isn't significant coverage. 4) If there's so much coverage, why wouldn't you put at least a little significant coverage in the article first? If it exists, you have it and didn't bother to put it in, that's exactly the opposite of what you are supposed to do. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- He didn't just "play a game", I don't know where you're getting that from, he played in many high profile tournaments and won two Majors. It is also significant coverage, a team is composed of its constituent members, so whenever there's an article about the team, it's also about each of its players, and this is especially true when there are literally only 5 players on a team.--Prisencolin (talk) 05:58, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- "Play a game"= played video games in a tournament. Just like I'd say a baseball player in the World Series "played a game". Coverage of a TEAM doesn't project notability onto individual members. We see this all the time with music groups. The group is notable, but the individual members often aren't because of a lack of significant coverage. An example would be The Korgis. Notable group, but none of the members are notable. Same with Jump 'N the Saddle Band. Every FBS college football team is notable, every player is not. Is this making sense yet? Niteshift36 (talk) 15:16, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- You have a point about band members not being notable, but in pro gaming, players transfer from team to team quite frequently, and get coverage through this. There are over 100 players on a college football roster, so that analogy is not apt.--Prisencolin (talk) 16:58, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

- Again, notability isn't inherited. You don't become notable by being on a notable team, regardless of the size. You become notable for significant coverage by reliable third party sources. You're too hung up on the number of players. How about Timbaland? He and Melvin (Magoo) Barcliff were a notable act. Timbaland has sufficient coverage to warrant his own article. Magoo is a redirect to the Timbaland article because he doesn't have significant coverage. And because you're hung up on numbers, you don't see the football analogy. Individuals don't become notable by being on a notable team. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- There's coverage of this player independent of the team, such as http://www.redbull.com/en/esports/stories/1331801528382/esl-one-frankfurt-mvp. There's no notability inheritance going on here, because everything the team did, Fly did as well. WP:NOTINHERITED applies to stuff like "this guy is a friend of someone notable" or "this guy once worked with someone notable", being a team captain and a member of a five member squad transcends both. And also, there is no reasonable redirect for this page since he has played for several teams (eg Team Secret, compLexity Gaming, Fnatic, and OG).--Prisencolin (talk) 19:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- I know full well what NOTINHERITED applies to. I question if you do. What you are doing is trying to make him notable based on the fact that he's on a notable team. Notability doesn't transfer. And your newer source isn't really coverage about him, it's coverage of game play by him. In other words, if you removed all of the sentences about him playing in that single event, what would you have left about Aziz?
- If it's his gameplay, then it's about him. Looking up his old tag "Simbaaa" I've found this and Daily Dot. which has been upheld many times as a reliable source.--Prisencolin (talk)|
- It's about the play of the team, including him. The Daily Dot piece is barely over a mention. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- That's right it's about the team, therefore significant coverage for him. The Daily Dof article lists him in the headline, which counts more than the two paragraphs about him on the article. And also Tal Aizik has played for several such teams, so out of the scope of WP:INHERITED section about group members.--Prisencolin (talk) 22:21, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- Except it's not really about him, it's about what he did in a game. If you described him grocery shopping, would that be "notable". (Went down the aisle, selected cookies, put them in the basket, decided to return to dairy section). Niteshift36 (talk) 02:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sounds like you're starting to argue that there is no way someone can become notable just by playing video games. Regardless of the criticism pro gaming can get, the bottom line is that there are reliable sources covering this, and many other pro gamers have been kept after being nominated for AFD Rekkles, for instance. Also, yes, is someone gets significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources for years of grocery shopping, they would meet WP:GNG.-Prisencolin (talk) 18:35, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- You don't become notable by playing games. You become notable through significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Of course there are notable gamers, this just hasn't been shown to be one of them. This has nothing to do with gaming or not, it's about significant coverage by reliable third party sources. The bottom line here is not what you summed it up as. It is that THIS person lacks significant coverage. Despite your assertion, you can't add mentions together to build notability. This isn't Lego.

- I've removed almost no info from the article, just a couple of dubious sources. The only info I've removed was not even contained in the source that professed to say it. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm done reverting edits for now. I think we're in accordance with the article in its current state, aside from its notability of course.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:33, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- Specifically, which of those plentiful sources do you feel is the most substantial coverage of this person? Niteshift36 (talk) 19:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Would still like to hear which specific source BabbaQ feels has the significant coverage. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:56, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- LOL you do not know when to drop the stick do you. You have been told below. Niteshift36.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Simply doing a IDONTLIKEIT rationale and ignoring what other people are pointing out to you are just strange. I can if that would make you feel better add the exact same statement like Prisencolin does below but it would be a waste of time and energy. It all comes down to a interpretation of the sources, clearly I and Prisencolin sees it one way and you another. Based on the fact that you want this article merged/deleted. We could argue all day about the specific sources but we both know that we would not agree. --BabbaQ (talk) 13:29, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- So let's gets this straight BabbaQ.... You claim there are "plenty of good sources" and I ask the simple question of which one you feel is the strongest, then you refuse to answer the question. This isn't about IDONTLIKEIT. I've actually cited policy. You've said there are "plenty" of good sources, but refuse to share them. So your rationale amounts to "because I said so". That's not to persuasive. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:26, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- As seen in the article, sources include ESPN, The Daily Dot, Yahoo, and Sport1.--Prisencolin (talk) 05:51, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- That doesn't answer the question that I asked BabbaQ. I didn't ask if there were sources, I asked which was the most substantial coverage. GNG doesn't require sources, it requires significant coverage by the reliable sources. Telling me "ESPN" when the ESPN article is about the event and doesn't even name the subject (Fly) by name, calling it significant coverage of him is pretty much wishful thinking. Now maybe the editor I asked will answer the question that I asked. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:23, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- I was talking about the other ESPN article, about the roster changes.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- The one that literally mentions him in a single sentence along with another guy? Are you seriously going to assert that is significant coverage? Niteshift36 (talk) 21:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
- That single article aline doesn't amount to significant coverage obviously, but the totality of sources present do.--Prisencolin (talk) 05:30, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- No, that's not how it works. 20 mere mentions don't add up to significant coverage, but a single instance of significant coverage can establish notability. Based on your notion, an actor who played roles like "Man on bus" and "bar patron #3" would become notable if he was listed enough times. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:06, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Again, the articles about this players achievements as part of a team aren't mere mentions, since whatever the team, each individual player did also, and in this case there are only five players on a team and this player as been with multiple notable such teams, so a redirect or merger may not be WP:NPOV.--Prisencolin (talk) 18:28, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- And again, you're completely off base. Just as individual members of a band aren't notable just because the band is notable, being on a notable team doesn't confer individual notability. Clearly this concept is fuzzy to you. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- That's the key difference between the music industry and gaming, the majority of band member are only part of one band dueing their entire career. On the other hand, pro gamers tend to be part of several notable teams.--16:46, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, not true. Many go from one band to another, especially the non-notable ones. Still, it's the notable TEAM that they become a part of. Notability doesn't transfer to them solely because they become part of it. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- The key point here is most pop musicians are only part of a single notable band; this player has been a part of several notable teams, ie ones that have standalone article on Wikipedia. The standard procedure to redirect a person into the organization they are most associated with is inappropriate for this case because there are several possibilities. Such a redirect would be WP:XY, WP:POV and WP:RECENTISM.--Prisencolin (talk) 18:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- Except that your key point isn't really correct (many musicians end up playing studio tracks for numerous artists. They toil quietly in the background, never becoming notable) and it still hinges on the flawed notion that the notability of the team confers notability on individuals. And you do realize we want things to be NPOV, so why are you acting like NPOV is wrong? Niteshift36 (talk) 22:53, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- I actually meant that it would be POV, and is bad, I've corrected this in the above post. Musicians who have associates acts that are only a one time collaboration are probably not notable just for that one collaboration. I also don't think you can compare playing studio tracks with other artists with a sports or gaming team, because the former are less formal. Honestly I don't know too much about the recording industry, but this seems to be the case.--Prisencolin (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

- Why do you keep twisting what I say? Who is talking about one time collaborations? I'm not. Many artists use the same musicians on a regular basis. There are tons of musicians that are part of groups that are far more notable than any of these teams, but group notability isn't transferrable to individuals. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm not claiming to know that much about music, so I probably didn't get the analogy right. Anyways, a person doesn't get notability from a group they are part of, but if they are part of several notable groups, they are. There are sources discussing this player's transfers between teams.--Prisencolin (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- Can you point to a policy that actually supports that notion? WP:NBIO says "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability." This guideline then links to the essay WP:NOTINHERITED. Now, before you start talking about family, realize this addressed relationships too. It says "Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects." That's exactly what you're arguing here. You're claiming that because the team is notable, the individual is notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:06, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- That doesn't answer the question that I asked BabbaQ. I didn't ask if there were sources, I asked which was the most substantial coverage.

Now maybe the editor I asked will answer the question that I asked. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:23, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Merge to OG (eSports). Everything noteworthy about this topic appears to be in context of OG's wins and not Fly's contribution. Besides for the fact that OG's own sourcing is currently weak and could be bolstered by the sources/prose in this article, Fly's article is more about OG than him. There is one interview, but I'd consider it of little consequence. Merge to the team is the best solution, and it can always spin out summary style if the information on Fly becomes too much for the OG article to handle. The discussions above about significant coverage are really disappointing—either show the passages where the individual is discussed in depth or get on board the merge train czar 15:56, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't oppose a merge and redirect. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect as still nothing actually containing the substance as his own independent notability; also, there has in fact been consensus these are not automatically notable regardless of whatever or whoever. SwisterTwister talk 00:51, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Plenty of good sources. So why would a AfD be instigated if it is automatically non notable? That makes no sense. IDONTLIKEIT is irrelevant. BabbaQ (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

- Hot and Sour Sweet Potato Noodles-Suan La Fen. It's in a website which describes itself as a blog, and normally we don't like blogs as sources, but I'm inclined to think this one isn't bad as blogs go.
- CHONGQING HOT AND SOUR CELLOPHANE NOODLES. Not exactly the same name, but sure looks like the same dish.
- Easy Hot and Sour Sweet Potato Noodles, Chinese Sichuan (Szechuan) Style. Another variation on the title.
- There also appears to be a copyvio problem with our lede text copied straight from here (I'll fix that right after I'm done here). The text of our article is badly written; it needs major editing (maybe WP:TNT) to get it into shape, but that's not a reason for deletion.
- Merging into Hot and sour soup would be a mistake; while they share some flavors, they are distinctly different dishes. Hot and sour soup is more of a broth (usually thickened). this site (cited from the Google cache, because the site itself seems to be down) also refers to the dish. This dish looks like it's mostly noodles. So, yeah, we need better sourcing, and a lot of editing, but I think there's a reasonable chance this could develop into a useful article, so I'm inclined to keep it. Also suggest moving this to Hot and Sour Noodles (plural) since that seems to be a more common name for the dish. But leave the current title as a redirect, because I sometimes see it written in the singular as well. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- @RoySmith: "hot and sour powder" is an incorrect translation of 酸辣粉. 粉 can mean "powder" or "noodle" depending on context. In my sources, all instances of 酸辣粉 mean "hot and sour noodle", the article subject. SSTflyer 06:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect instead because simply satisfying WP:GNG, as the 1st Keep vote states, would still not be enough and it sounds like a "eh, it's enough" vote, rather than stating clearly and thoroughly how and why this can be kept separately. It seems they are still in fact connected, regardless if they are not the same food course. There's never a clear line whether these articles themselves can in fact be substantially kept and improved. SwisterTwister talk 00:53, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Article about a local event which makes no strong case that it's notable enough to need an encyclopedia article. The content consists of two sentences which offer little of substance beyond "this is a thing that exists", the sourcing that's substantively about it is entirely to local media rather than national coverage that would satisfy WP:AUD, the little bit of sourcing that is nationalized isn't substantive but merely namechecks its existence in the process of being about some other comparable event rather than about this one per se, and all of the sources are merely refbombing its existence rather than being used to support any actual substance about it. Further, the article was created by User:Drdaliah, an evident conflict of interest since one of the people named in the article as a creator of the event is "Dr. Daliah Wachs". As always, something like this is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists; it has to demonstrate and properly source a credible pass of WP:ORG and or WP:EVENT. In truth I'd ordinarily have speedied this, but this is a followup recreation after an earlier version was speedied for not making an actual claim of notability.

Top Gear Race to the South (an article about a car race to be "filmed in secret" next month for the yet-to-air Top Gear Israel) was prodded as an unsourced WP:CRYSTALBALL/WP:HOAX yesterday, and unprodded by the creator with nothing to refute this.

- Merge or redirect to List of hotels in Spain#Tenerife. The list-article serves good purpose of holding mention of significant hotels so that they each do not need an article. Items in the list-article can/should contain some information besides just the name of the hotel (e.g. 356 rooms for this one) but should be supported by references. There are too many AFDs about tall buildings and hotel buildings, which create unnecessary conflict between those who support having zero coverage (with deletion of all past discussion about sources etc. at its Talk page and all of the article's edit history, thereby losing even links to AFDs) vs. having too much coverage (in an under-reviewed article that tends to become promotional). The appropriate answer is inbetween: cover the building in the corresponding list-article, using proper references. The redirect's edit history and Talk page provide record of sources and debates. AFDs are not needed unless there is a dispute about merging; try merging the material first, before opening an AFD. --doncram 00:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

I have also added a source to the information about Beti Lloyd-Jones who was associated with the company and was for many years a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera, which makes her very well-known and notable among Gilbert and Sullivan devotees.Smeat75 (talk) 15:24, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

The only claim to notability is being amongst "the most influential students in Kenya". I have attempted all kinds of RS search, using all combinations of the subject's name. Haven't been able to come up with anything. Recommend a Delete. Lourdes 13:55, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- I also note that his year of birth is reported in the article variously as 19192 and 1924, the first being impossible and the second very improbable. I think that WP:A7 applies here, as nothing in the article gives the remotest indication of anything that is likely to mean that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- WP:A7 doesn't apply to articles where a credible claim of significance is given. Lourdes 17:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I know, and I don't see any credible (or incredible) claim of significance here. Having been listed as one of the hundred most influential students in Kenya is not a claim of significance when it doesn't say that he has been listed by anyone whose opinion counts for anything. He might as well have been listed as such by his mum. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:18, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- Ah, that's an "attribute to consider" which suggests that "sources may exist" and is not itself a mandate when it clarifies
"Standards have not yet been established to define a major award, but it's not to be doubted that an Academy Award, or Palme D'or, Camera D'or, or Grand Prix from Cannes would certainly be included. Many major festivals such as Venice or Berlin should be expected to fit our standard as well"
... essentially telling us that awards (even non-major) hint that coverage may exist. This is why I suggested Looking deeper. Simple. Schmidt, Michael Q. 05:39, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as even the comment above stating the links are still quite thin and are not coming close to the actual needed substance, let alone information, because all what's the listed here are some film show appearances. SwisterTwister talk 00:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as a non-notable short film. The sources are weak, to say the least. Other than showing at mid-level film festivals, I don't see any evidence this has ever been shown in a regular movie theater, much less an "indie house". Unless a short film is shown at the Cannes Court Métrage or some similar high-profile shorts-fest or a World SF Con, it's unlikely to get much media attention. Furthermore, none of the actors are notable yet. Bearian (talk) 18:37, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

If you search "deviceatlas" in Books.google.com you'll get 612 results. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=deviceatlas The book "Programming the mobile web" contains an in-depth analysis of how DeviceAtlas works, p. 324-326. [1] An even longer analysis can be found in "Beginning Smartphone development", p. 111-123[2]. Other notable examples of books where DeviceAtlas is covered include: "Professional Mobile Web Development with WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal", "Social Media Marketing For Dummies", "HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Mobile Development For Dummies", "iPhone and iPad Web Design For Dummies".

- Firtman is not an in-depth analysis; there isn't any analysis. It doesn't have any more information than I would expect to find on the official website: pricing, features, available data.

- "Firtman is not an in-depth analysis;" --> This is very subjective. Now you're claiming that a good few pages on a subject in a book(!) is not a substantial coverage -- this is very odd. The fact that Firtman uses information similar to what you think he was able to find on the website at the time of writing doesn't make the source unreliable or less substantial. However, even if this is true, again WP:CORPDEPTH says: "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability."

- Keep : Pretty well known and has been around a long time, plenty of references to their data around the web, just do a search eg http://mobileadvertisingwatch.com/worm-in-the-apple-iconic-devices-actually-drop-in-market-share-in-many-countries-24028 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.96.59 (talk) 12:55, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- That source does not have in-depth coverage of DeviceAtlas. — JJMC89 (T·C) 17:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete and allow me to state exactly what is happening here; the first vote states WP:CORP is met given the sources, but even the sources themselves are not entirely acceptable. The sources include simple PR links, take the phonearena.com for example, which not only lists "report" at the name header, but the last sentence says "information given by DeviceAtlas", essentially a press release! The other sources listed even include elements of this, so we cannot blindly confide they were not either paid PR or PR supplied by the company itself. The Keep vote above my comment here then actually states "Google it and you'll see" instead of substantiating their own comment with analysis of why, how and where it can be kept and improveed; especially with these stated concerns including about PR. The first Keep vote then states afterwards from WP:CORPDEPTH, "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability", but an article containing PR or otherwise advertising is always still open and able to be deleted if the PR concerns outweigh or otherwise becoming outstanding. Therefore, simply saying sources exist and may be substantial cannot be ascertained without then actually guaranteeing there's no risks of PR. The article seemingly goes to specifics about what the product is and then how to use it; the books themselves have concerns of simply being guides themselves.

- Comment: Sources you mentioned, such as PhoneArena, GSMArena, DZone, TheNextWeb, Ubergizmo, etc. are not "simple PR links" -- These are independently written articles commenting on DeviceAtlas data (yes, data released by DeviceAtlas, and this isn't something unusual -- companies release reports and other information, and then media post articles commenting on what they receive). A "simple PR link" (copy/paste) would be this -- http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160815005070/en/Airpush-Chooses-DeviceAtlas-Provide-Device-Awareness-Mobile There's a huge difference. There are plenty of other sources apart from these ones, including books I linked to before, which are obviously independent even if you don't find them substantial (e.g. the "For Dummies" series). "The books themselves have concerns of simply being guides themselves" ---> And what's wrong with a source being a guide? A guide can be a perfect proof that the entry's subject is notable, given that people write books on how to use it, what to use it for, how much it costs, what it takes to implement it, etc. "Therefore, simply saying sources exist and may be substantial cannot be ascertained without then actually guaranteeing there's no risks of PR" --> Every single coverage on a company/product used as a source on Wikipedia has "PR risks". And yet companies/products are covered on Wikipedia. In this light, the "risks of PR" is not a sensible argument in a discussion regarding a commercial product. Pawelpiejko (talk) 10:19, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep : A couple of points on the noteworthiness and issues raised with depth of sources. There are a great many independent, scholarly, citations of DeviceAtlas in a whole range of peer-reviewed books on the topic of web development for mobile, and other topics relating to web design, programming and marketing. Many more references than were included in the initial article, so some of these should be added. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=deviceatlas#q=deviceatlas&tbm=bks&start=10DeviceAtlas data plays an important role in one of the most important web analytics platforms Adobe Marketing Cloud (and by extension the very large corporations who use a proprietary web analytics solution instead of free analytics solutions such as Google Analytics) - the argument here is not for inclusion by the reference to Adobe, but by reference to the fact that DeviceAtlas' data is being used to interpret the devices behind many millions of web requests every day in a Gartner magic quadrant listed platform. https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/insight/dataset/c_deviceAtlas_update.htmlThere are many notable integrations and hooks available for DeviceAtlas including Varnish (software) https://www.varnish-cache.org/vmods, NGINX https://github.com/Sydsvenskan/opportunistic-device-detection and HAProxy which are all widely distributed.Access to the device data is open and free via the deviceatlas.com website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flanncha (talk • contribs) 14:14, 21 September 2016 (UTC) — Flanncha (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Question. There are a few hundred other Year in Ireland articles and I don't think you can really consider any one independent of the whole series. Is taking individual years to AfD the proper venue for this discussion? Would it not be better to start a wider AfC on the fate of years-where-not-very-much happened in Ireland?

- Merge -- This and 5 or six others for the decade into 1250s in Ireland. The 1257 article has some substantive content, which may need to be moved to something more specific.

If you delete or merge this then there are at least 400 more articles in the series which would merit a similar approach. Sarah777 (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I wouldn't support deleting this.
However, given the number of redlinks in individual years in this series, and the length of time the improvement tags have languished on this article, it may be worth consolidating these early year articles into decades. The year articles could still redirect there.--John (talk) 22:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC) - Keep. Having redlinks is no disadvantage. Articles like this allow expansion. And there is no deadline. --John (talk) 22:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep This current page is preferable to a 1250s page which, to me, would be messy with many sections and subsections. On a quick Google search, 1250 appears as a delimiting year for a number of book titles and historical websites (e.g. this). That is, the year is considered by some historians to mark the end of the initial Norman conquest period (from 1170) and the start of the Gaelic revival. The tagged subsections could be deleted, but keep the page. I'm sure Irish history specialists could add to this page. Declangi (talk) 03:49, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Advertorially toned WP:BLPs of the main partners in a film and television production company, based entirely on primary sources and directories (IMDb is not a reliable or notability-conferring source) with the exception of a single piece of reliable source coverage which just namechecks their existence in conjunction with a project while failing to be about them. As well, the articles were created by User:Johnnylarue490 -- since the production company was named "LaRue Entertainment" in memory of John Candy's SCTV character "Johnny LaRue", the conflict of interest is apparent. People like this would be eligible to have Wikipedia articles if they could be sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG, but the mere fact of working as a film and television producer does not constitute an automatic WP:CREATIVE pass in and of itself, or an exemption from having to be sourced properly.

Relisting comment: The Matt King (producer) article has been deleted, per consensus herein. However, only the nominator and the !vote by User:NinjaRobotPirate seem to address the nomination for Andrew Ferguson (producer). The other two !votes of "non-notable producer" and "... as the article noticeably simply lists names... (et al.)" imply that only the Matt King (producer) article listed atop the discussion was considered, per the singular forms of grammar used. North America1000 11:38, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

No indication of notability. All referenes are either press releases (sometimes republished) or trivial passing mentions that do not cover Cobb in any detail. I removed some of the blatantly promotional content, but the rest would still need to be rewritten even if Cobb were notable. Huon (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
After conducting research I have found several media outlets that have significant coverage of Cobb speaking on behalf of the State Agency the employs him. He has been found to speak in place of the actual commissioner of that agency. I feel this displays a notable community presence as a community servant. Along with being awarded out of all state law enforcement. It is my opinion that his public standing to include being a racing figure is worthy of notability.

But this article is going to need more than one solid source to back up a claim of significant coverage to convey notability. This might be saved with more legwork by someone who wants to suss out potential references under her real name. Although early in her career, she appears to have played significant roles on notable recordings that have charted, but without substantive references cited in the article it doesn't belong on wikipedia.

Tellingly, nearly all the references have access dates from years before article creation. Article creator couldn't even be bothered to click on the links before pasting, hence the numerous dead links. The list of previous winners and the gallery are both straight pastes from articles on other pageants. I'm not going to edit war on this, but the article is just a hot mess of lazy copy-pasting.

- There are two kinds of coverage: coverage which focuses on the subject and coverage which doesn't. The latter can also be split into two subgroups. For there could be an article which talks about five people and gives each a fair share of coverage. But then there is the namedrop variety which just namedrops the subject amongst many others. This is the worst category to be in. Wikipedia rules say that the coverage should cover the subject in detail. It should be said that one shouldn't be absolute here, as in some rare cases hundreds of namedrops in big publications might be worth something after all. But in our case, there exist a small number of articles -- 5-6 years old from mostly the same websites covering the hobby in question -- that pretty much just list match results. Every single article seems to just have an extremely strenuous, random namedrop of our subject. Mr. Magoo (talk) 17:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

"Hikmah is an Arabic word meaning wisdom" - I don't know if this falls under WP:NOTDICTIONARY or if this is a potentially legitimate article topic, but this should obviously be WP:TNT per gross violation of WP:NOTWIKIQUOTE.
I googled the sources. The majority of them are literally dictionaries, and everything is ancient. Typically 400-600 years old. Ref#1 looks recent, but even that source is just quoting someone who died 400 years ago. The entire lead being nothing but inline external links to the Quran, and the entire page is effectively proselytizing ancient in-religion-POV. WP:TNT WP:TNT WP:TNT.

- It is a legitimate Islamic philosophical concept as demonstrated by the included quote from Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but the article is poor and I tagged it with {{Cv-unsure}} in 2015 because it seemed to be cut-and-pasted from some unacknowledged source. I think it should be reduced to a stub (there is one good reference) or changed into a redirect pointing to the wiktionary entry hikmah until someone can develop it. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 17:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

- Reduce to Stub - An analysis of the concept within Arabic cultures is worth exploring, and all these quotes makes it clear that the subject has been studied extensively, so it CAN be expanded. That said, Wikipedia is not wikiquote, so cut all that out and let the article regrow with proper encyclopedic text, properly sourced of course. Fieari (talk) 07:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect as there's still nothing actually confirming there's the needed information for its own confirmed and established article, there's simply listed explanations about what the word means. SwisterTwister talk 01:08, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Reduce to stub as the the current content consists overwhelmingly of primary sources that are very far from reflecting any sort of research on the topic, and these can still be transwikified to wikiquote.

- comment FHM is an article, Billboard chart is very minor but exists - this leads me to consider her likely marginally notable per NMUSIC, and that other sources are likely to exist (but that's hypothetical, so this isn't a "keep" yet) - David Gerard (talk) 14:17, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think the FHM source in this article is legitimate because the actual FHM goes by FHM dot com but this one goes by FHM dot ph. Also there is nothing on Billboard that mentioned her name. When I look up Juicy M, I only see Juicy J (rapper). - Rizhopper (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- Still appears to be a minor RS (but not one that would swing it for me). The Billboard ref was [53] which may or may not be any sort of actual chart, though it's listed in the charts section. Electronica Life also looks like a minor RS. The sources don't look sponsored (I could be wrong). Looking through Google News, this is IMO not bad: [54] These are fluffy fact-of-touring coverage, but suggest she's actually somewhat noteworthy in her field (not quite NMUSIC #4 because they're not serious critical reviews, but they are international touring getting coverage): [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] There's a lot of "World's Sexiest DJ" fluff, but I'm leaning marginal keep for actually being noteworthy in her field, and I think we could have an article on the sources there are - David Gerard (talk) 20:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if its of any importance or if it complies with the guidelines but, Armada Music is notable record label. Other than that I couldn't find more references than the ones already here.

- What are those good number of sources? I've only seen cast announcements outside of the one interview. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:17, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- Such as? anyone can say there are good sources but if you don't supply them how can we believe you or trust their neutrality or reliability?
- Weak keep: Substantial filmography, adequate sources. Voice actors don't get coverage live film actors do, so I'd say she passes GNG for her field. Would like to see source material used to improve article, though. Montanabw(talk) 20:44, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- There are a few flaws in your argument. The filmography is a matter of opinion sure. While the sources are fine they only serve as confirmation of those roles, not the notability of the article's subject. Voice actor coverage has been sufficient for many years, easily long enough to cover the subject's time in the industry, never mind that you are assuming live action actors are all notable.. Giving a pass based on her field as if it somehow should have lesser requirements than any other actor is misguided.SephyTheThird (talk) 20:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete No evidence of notability, cast announcements generally are just that and do not denote or suggest merit.SephyTheThird (talk) 20:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete It is true that voice actors generally have less coverage. (Actually quite a few of them do have coverage, but many of them are in fan websites which are not exactly RS for our purpose). The way to decide notability is to look at their contributions. If they voiced any major role in an anime I tend to give them a pass. The problem here is that the subject has done a bunch of minor roles, none of which are exactly significant. Considering the lack of coverage and the lack of a significant role, I am going with a delete here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:33, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

- Fan websites tend to have primary source interviews, which only help beef up some self-published facts about the person like where they went to high school, or what is their favorite part of voice acting, but doesn't establish whether they are notable since they tend to grab any upcoming voice actor for an interview. The interview for The Final is over at BridgeThink [70] That one's got a little more credibility, coming from the general acting/production industry. But still, that's about it, and it only helps her notability for The Final. She's cast in a web series called Morganville that itself barely has notability for being an adaptation of a book series: The_Morganville_Vampires#Morganville:_The_Series [71] and another web series that isn't Wikipedia-notable called Throwing Stones AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:21, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

- I'm a bit on the fence for that one as BTVA staff choice is a nice accolade for their resume, and the voice actors do brag about being selected. But it doesn't give the winner any physical awards and there's no award ceremony like Annie Award or National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) awards.

- Split; keep here just jet-engine meaning. Multiple meanings should be disambiguated each to their own page (or redirect to parent articles, etc.). The jet-engine meaning was the only topic of the article when it was created, up until User:81.111.216.41 added Pasteur's flask on 12 October 2009, and this meaning is now cited (thanks User:Mark viking!). The other meaning belongs somewhere else, probably Swan neck flask. That term is widely used for this experiment--I rewrote the content and added a ref. It could instead redirect to Louis Pasteur#Spontaneous generation, or else some content from there could be transferred to that new article on the apparatus. DMacks (talk) 03:48, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

- Split per DMacks. While parts of the article are independently verifiable, the main sin here is synthesis per WP:SYNTH of two different subjects that are not discussed together in the literature. I was able to easily find a couple of reliable sources for the turbine interface and a GScholar search for "swan neck" turbine shows more RS to be had. This is a necessary component of jet engines and other high performance gas turbines and looks notable per WP:GNG. I agree with DMacks that the swan neck duct in chemistry or biology is most closely associated with the famous Pasteur experiment and is best merged and redirected into the Louis Pasteur#Spontaneous generation section. With those actions the article can become a well-formed stub that has WP:POTENTIAL for improvement. --Mark viking (talk) 11:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Aviation-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. This article is presumably a reaction to the hijacking of the main swan neck by beer drinkers. From the aeronautical perspective, the term is a trivial description of any suitably-shaped duct and has no special relevance to turbines. Try the equivalent search for example on "swan neck" plumbing or "swan neck" coolant. In science, the swan neck is more normally met in the swan neck flask or a tube than a "duct". No, this article is not the way. Better to tackle the beer drinkers over the applicability of the "swan neck" as an ordinary phrase much used in the wider world. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ping @LoopZilla and SilkTork:, who created Swan neck as an article and made it a redirect to Beer engine, respectively. Should "swan neck" become a disambiguation page since we have at least two (and maybe three) kinds of "swan neck..." things and one (and maybe more) are redirects (means it's hard to hatnote disambig/cross-link them). DMacks (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping. We have Swan neck deformity (which looks like it could be considered for merging with Boutonniere deformity), Edith the Fair, Swan-neck bottle, Mega Trailer, Pediment, Spur, and other articles which are about topics which are often described with the term "swan neck" (swan neck spur, swan neck pediment, etc), so it would be appropriate to turn Swan neck into a disamb page, and I will do that shortly. I have no opinion on Swan neck duct, it is not a topic I am familiar with, but the current article is written as a Wikipedia:Broad-concept article, so it is worth discussing to see if that is appropriate, or if it should be turned into a regular disamb page.

- Keep and Split - Keep this article as the jet-engine duct. Split out the info on the flask into Swan neck flask. I think that is better than redirecting to Louis Pasteur#Spontaneous generation as there is also Spontaneous generation and both of these article could link to Swan neck flask. It seems that "swan neck duct" has been used prior to jet engines (here is a source from 1868 [[75]] but I think any usage related to air ducts (jet engine or otherwise) belongs here.

- Agreed, but I ask to delete the present content of "See also" from either. The explanation of eponymous resemblance to a swan's neck should be worked into the text of both articles, including the link to Swan. The "Hydro massage" link has nothing to do with either subject, and no reference to "swan" is found in the hydro massage article; if there really is a notable "swan-neck" type of water jet, then it should be stated in that article and listed instead on Swan neck (disambiguation).

- Merge somewhere/Delete - Doesn't seem independently notable and seems to only exist for the purpose of including a program list, like Nickelodeon (Africa) and Nickelodeon (Israel). I strongly doubt anyone is going to flesh this out in any meaningful way that would describe the foundation of the Finnish channel, or provide any academically useful information. Typically they tend to just repeat content found at the main Nickelodeon article or included fluffed-up sections like Nickelodeon India and Nickelodeon Arabia do, the latter of which being awash in citation needed templates. Even if anything could be said of these channels, there is (from my experience) little in the way of references to help. We have far too many of these articles as-is, most are grossly undersourced, and most of them could probably be condensed and merged under Nickelodeon (international) (minus the programming lists).

- Delete. There's a little bit of coverage, such as [79] from the Times of Malta (mentioned above) and [80] from The Malta Independent. However, I don't think this is really enough to establish notability. The rest of the hits I saw in a Google search were trivial mentions. List of newspapers in Malta may help in finding reliable sources. I only searched the English-language sources, so I suppose it's possible that Maltese-language sources may exist. It might be worthwhile to consider moving it to draft space to see if someone can locate them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Much like NinjaRobotPirate above I found a few mentions of the TV show that don't go far enough to establish notability per the guidelines of WP:NTV. I note NTV specifies that national tv shows are likely to be notable, but, the prevalence of sources is the dominant factor is deciding whether a show is indeed notable.
[A] national television program may not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any significant media coverage
, it did indeed have enough time to get "significant" coverage, and failed to do so, Malta Independent and the Times of Malta are the only two reliable sources I came across myself. There's a bunch of unreliable ones like twitter and facebook and blogspots, but, that's about it. Add; I think it's quite telling that the first AfD didn't gather a single vote to keep or delete after three weeks and indicates to me that this is a non-controversial deletion request.

- Piotrus as per WP:DIPLOMAT any individual (including any diplomat) needs to meet the criteria under WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO and not just be solely reliant on the fact that they were a diplomat (in this case an ambassador). After going through the article there is little there that supports him being considered as notable. Dan arndt (talk) 09:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

- A warrant is out to arrest Weeratunga on charges of financial fraud, alleged to have taken place when seven MiG-27 ground attack aircraft were procured for the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLFA). The FCID launched investigation on Weeratunga following a complaint lodged by defence columnist and political writer Iqbal Athas on the financial irregularities that had taken place.

Delete. Inadequately sourced WP:BLP of a radio producer. While there are claims here that probably would be enough to earn her an article if she could be sourced over WP:GNG for them, nothing here gives her an automatic pass of any subject-specific inclusion criterion -- and while it looks well sourced on the surface, every last one of the 15 citations here either (a) namechecks her existence in the process of failing to be about her, or (b) sources a tangential fact about the show she produces while entirely failing to even namecheck her existence at all. Which means none of the sources here get her over WP:GNG, because not even one of them is substantively about her. Bearcat (talk) 22:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. So, I created the entry because I believe the subject is wiki-notable, but to summarize my reasons for that view:
- A Peabody is the highest award in the field (often compared as audio equivalent to a Pulitzer for print journalism), qualifying for WP:ANYBIO.
- WP:CREATIVE #3, "played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work" that has been "the primary subject...of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." There's no shortage of reviews and articles about the Harper High episode (a two-hour radio doc); she's named as a co-creator for the credits and on the many awards it's won; and in addition to the awards, a piece that draws action by the President and First Lady of the United States seems pretty squarely "significant" to me.
- But all the same, here are additional available sources that haven't been incorporated into the entry yet. I consider the sum more than adequate for WP:BASIC.
- More awards she's won:

- So the entry seems wiki-notable to me by several standards, though of course only one need be satisfied; and I don't see any exclusion criteria that would apply, so, keep. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:52, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- A Peabody would support her notability if she had won it as an individual; it does not support her notability if you have to combine sources which say the show won a Peabody, but which fail to specifically single out her name in conjunction with that achievement, with the show's own self-published primary source content about itself to prove that she was involved in creating the content that won the award. None of those other awards are ones that confer an automatic WP:JOURNALIST pass on a person who isn't the subject of enough reliable source coverage to satisfy GNG. Those articles covering "other aspects of her life" aren't covering notable aspects of her life: getting covered in the real estate section for buying a condo doesn't make a person encyclopedically notable, owning an independent wine store doesn't make a person encyclopedically notable, and the "Laker Girl" article just namechecks her existence a single time in an article that isn't about her. And exactly zero of those "secondary source notice for her radio work" are in reliable sources; every last one of them is either a blog or a press release on the website of an organization, not a media outlet that can support notability. What you're missing is that there's a big difference between sources which verify that she exists, and sources which can validly confer notability — and you have yet to show even one source which does the latter. Bearcat (talk) 03:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- I have some disagreements with the analysis here, but for perhaps the simplest way to advance the discussion, here's the Peabody's announcement specifically naming her (as co-producer, which I've updated in the entry).

- That's still a primary source. What makes an award notable enough to confer a notability pass on a winner of that award is the existence of media coverage about the award win, not just the award's own self-published website about itself. Bearcat (talk) 21:45, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- I have some disagreements with the analysis here, but for perhaps the simplest way to advance the discussion, here's the Peabody's announcement specifically naming her (as co-producer, which I've updated in the entry). I may come back later and expand on other questions, but for now I'd rather work on improving the entry; and perhaps others will weigh in in the meantime, which I think would be useful. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:42, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- A Peabody would support her notability if she had won it as an individual; it does not support her notability if you have to combine sources which say the show won a Peabody, but which fail to specifically single out her name in conjunction with that achievement, with the show's own self-published primary source content about itself to prove that she was involved in creating the content that won the award. None of those other awards are ones that confer an automatic WP:JOURNALIST pass on a person who isn't the subject of enough reliable source coverage to satisfy GNG. Those articles covering "other aspects of her life" aren't covering notable aspects of her life: getting covered in the real estate section for buying a condo doesn't make a person encyclopedically notable, owning an independent wine store doesn't make a person encyclopedically notable, and the "Laker Girl" article just namechecks her existence a single time in an article that isn't about her. And exactly zero of those "secondary source notice for her radio work" are in reliable sources; every last one of them is either a blog or a press release on the website of an organization, not a media outlet that can support notability. What you're missing is that there's a big difference between sources which verify that she exists, and sources which can validly confer notability — and you have yet to show even one source which does the latter. Bearcat (talk) 03:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

- Delete I searched like crazy and there are exactly Zero reliable secondary sources which present some significant coverage about the subject. Half of references in the article have absolutely no reference to the subject. I'm not convinced that the Peabody award grants automatic notability considering the number of people who are credited. Tangential coverage coatracked to articles about something else do not add up to notability. The coverage about the wine store is essentially about an independent wine store with a mention of the owners - nothing indicates that the store is notable. Overall I don't see any references talking about the subject and their work. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:42, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- For context on the Peabody: I searched the AfD archives to see how the award was usually treated in bios before I ivoted, and I could only find four AfDs with anyone promoting the idea the Peabody did not confer notability. In two the subject had not been named as a winner, but rather the network the person worked for had won: Margie Nichols and Nicholas Claxton. The other two were subjects who had not won a Peabody but only been nominated: JC Lamkin and Seema Jilani. By contrast, here is a Peabody-related bio AfD where the nominator said, "If we can verify his share in a Peabody, I'll gladly withdraw" and indeed the bio was kept (in fact there were no delete voters at all): Jeffrey Bushell. So it seems to me it would be a novel interpretation of the Peabody's significance not to count being explicitly named as a winner for WP:BIO, and I am quite reluctant to break fresh ground by counting achievements by women for less than we have previously counted the same achievement by men. Innisfree987 (talk) 17:15, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- If we focus on this bio, it has 2 problems.
- 1. A lack of significant coverage failing GNG. And
- 2. A lack of secondary sources about the subject's association with the peabody award.
- Jeffrey Bushell was 6 years ago, it had 1 weak keep and 1 keep and overall lacked participation. Also consensus can change. (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Railpage Australia (9th nomination) for an example). The essential reason for coverage is WP:WHYN that we should be able to write a good article on the subject and this significant coverage is missing here. Also, no one is suggesting that we are counting achievements by women for less than we have previously counted the same achievement by men. If WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, we nominate it for deletion per WP:SEWAGE. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:06, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Article about a musical group with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. The referencing here is entirely to unreliable sources like Blogspot blogs and sales pages on online retail platforms, with the only remotely acceptable piece of reliable source coverage being a single article in the band's own hometown newspaper. As always, Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform on which a band is entitled to have an article just because they exist -- it's an encyclopedia, on which a credible claim of notability, and the volume of media coverage needed to support it, are necessary for an article to become earned.

- Keep It is a paltry article, however, Cambridge is a significant place not at all comparable to Brea California. It is emphatically not a "suburb". It is an old industrial city (a factory in Cambridge brought you Fig Newtons, another brought you Polaroid) now a city of over 100,000 adjacent to but not a suburb of adjacent Boston, rather, it is a hotbed of tech start-ups with a number of major corporate headquarters located there, not to mention the campuses of 2 of the world's leading universities - MIT and Harvard cause security problems unknown to most far larger Amercan cities. Like regularly cooperating with other security services to protect assassination/kidnapping targets like scions of the families that run whole countries in Asia and Latin Americs (Benazir Bhutto) they do their studies; cooperating with the feds on security when heads of state drop in. Cambridge police deal routinely with international and national security that lots of much bigger cities never see. Plus, there have been in the national news cycle for arresting Henry Louis Gates arrest controversy and chasing down the Boston Marathon bombing who lived on a quiet side street in Cambridge. This is a significant police dept that needs a better article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- What does any of that have to do with notability? Every police department cooperates with other agencies when needed. If they didn't and it was written about that might be one piece toward notability. Crime stories are not sources in detail about the subject, they are passing mentions, quite akin to story about an athletic event. A particular player may be mentioned in said story, but the story is about the game; not detailed coverage of the player and of no use to show the players notability. A place where something might turn up for notability would be the department's long existence. If a book (note I didn't find any) has been written on its history, that would show notability. The size of the city is not a factor, altho some have argued that in other discussions. But Cambridge isn't even that big of a city. The Gates thing seems to be a one event thing and again not coverage in detail, altho I've only cursorly investigated it. It's possible a story came out of it that discussed the department in detail. But without other sources separate from that event, I'm still not seeing notability. John from Idegon (talk) 19:06, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- I brought up size because User: MorbidEntree asserted that Cambridge is comparable to Brea, California. It's not. "all of this" matters because the security problems Cambridge police cop with are more comparable to those of major cities, including neighboring Boston, than to those of cities it's size, or of larger cities without the constant comings and goings of major international figures. You are correct, someone needs to bring sources, but, this Dept. underwent intense national scrutiny in the wake of the (very very different) Gates and Marathon bombing incidents.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Again, any assertions about the importance of this department are inappropriate to this discussion. There is no notability guideline that equates importance with notability. Coverage of events generally do not provide the coverage in detail required to show notability. Show me three plus sources covering the department in detail, at least one of which is from outside metro Boston (which, despite your unreferenced assertion, Cambridge is a part of. See Metropolitan Boston), and I'll withdraw this. Despite a fair search, I found none. Hopefully your results are better. John from Idegon (talk) 22:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- Richard Norton Smith, The Harvard Century: The Making of a University to a Nation, Harvard University Press, 1969, covers the events of April 1969, when undergraduates took over Harvard administration buildings to protest the Vietnam War, and were removed by the city police
- Liberation, Imagination and the Black Panther Party: A New Look at the Black Panthers and their Legacy, Kathleen Cleaver, George Katsiaficas, Routledge, 2014 covers the Cambridge police response to the 1970 Black Panther march. The Campus and a Nation in Crisis: From the American Revolution to Vietnam; Willis Rudy, Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1996, Chapter 5 also covers this incident. It was a Black Panther protest march that got out of hand and turned into a significant civil disturbance, with stores set on fire in Harvard Square which is not part of the campus, but a downtown shopping district. Extensive coverage of the way the Cambridge Police handled it exists.

- Although our article on the Henry Louis Gates arrest controversy is so inadequate that it cites the wrong police Department (Boston instead of Cambridge, the incident has generated a mini-industry of academic analysis, much of ti focused on racism and policing: ("Afterword: The Inescapable Socio-Political Weight of Race: A Critical Analysis of President Barack Obama's, Professor Henry Louis Gates's, and Sgt.

- Keep I hadn't realized that the Henry Louis Gates arrest controversy is associated with the Cambridge police department, but I immediately thought of the policeman shot after the Boston Marathon bombing.
I looked at WP:ORG and it doesn't use the word "government", so the argument in the nomination may be bogus because a police department is a part of the city government. As part of a larger organization, and given the requirement that WP:DEL8 deletions are subject to the WP:ATD, there is never a theoretical case for deletion of a city department.
A WP:BEFORE review of the "What Links Here" shows the MIT Crime Club, which might have been a clue that a city police department receives more attention from the public at large than a university crime club that relies in part on the Cambridge Police Department radio transmissions.
The results from WP:BEFORE D1 are numerous. A search on Google books for ["Cambridge Police Department" Massachusetts] yields the top link as
