I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NOTABILITY; perhaps someone with better linguistic skills can prove me wrong. Has been tagged for notability for 7 years; time it was resolved — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boleyn (talk • contribs) 20:12, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Contested proposed deletion. Reasoning was as follows: Does not appear to be a notable subject, no significant coverage from independent reliable sources is evident, possible conflict of interest issues as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:28, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG, with lack of significant coverage in independent sources. There is a citation to Daily Herald but it is merely their website hosting a press release, which GNG says "are not considered independent". The rest of the citations are trivial mentions in IMDb, which WP:RS/IMDB advises is considered unreliable. There are also citations to other Wikipedia articles, which WP:CIRCULAR discourages. I can't find anything significant and/or reliable in web searches. —Bagumba (talk) 23:27, 15 April 2015 (UTC) Update: Striking cleanup items performed by Cowlibob (detailed below) on older version.—Bagumba (talk) 17:10, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete I've removed loads of links to IMDb and other wikipages that were present in the article. Does not meet GNG, NACTOR, NMUSIC. The Daily Herald Piece is a press release so not an independent source as it wasn't written by the newspaper. My searches don't turn up anything in the way of substantive coverage of this young actress. I couldn't find any reviews of her music, in her films thus far it has mainly been shorts where she is a minor character. She is I think a case of too soon and if she becomes notable in the future, the article can be restored. This article seems to have been created by paid editing of "SierraScribe" as well. [[2]].

- Delete - Unfortunately, this article fluffed it a bit and noticeably looks more like a personal website or a resume. A look at IMDB easily shows she hasn't had much including recently.

- Delete - It's not a terrible article but it's missing things.

- Comment. It appears that the AJAX Service Bus's only mention in a reliable source was here in an October 2006 issue of Computerworld, around the time of the article's creation. The brief mention, in an apparently promotional piece, describes the AJAX Service Bus as a feature on a coming software release from "JackBe Corp." Several of the article creator's other edits also relate to this company, including the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rich Enterprise Application, which was deleted as a copyvio of the JackBe website. This article looks like a strange and nearly incoherent attempt to use Wikipedia to promote a product that never took off. Strictly speaking, it is not a hoax, but it fails WP:N and several applications of WP:NOT, so the recommendation would be Delete. Calamondin12 (talk) 01:22, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

- Merge what little unique content exists into Miss Universe then Redirect to same. There's an argument to be made for the organization itself having notability as it has drawn news coverage independent of the individual pageants it owns but I'll leave it for another motivated editor to find the sources and craft the prose, should they so choose. I see from the first AfD that we're rapidly approaching the 10th anniversary of the last pledge to merge this article so merging/redirecting for now is the path of least harm. - Dravecky (talk) 05:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Actor who I can't tell if he really passes guidelines for Wikipedia or not. He does come across as too soon almost despite having a few roles.

I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NOTABILITY, and it has been tagged for notability for 7 years (Carlossuarez46).

Certainly not the most famous museum in Athens, but it seems to have been a historically significant institution, as discussed in a variety of sources, including extensive discussion in the book Physical Anthropology, Race and Eugenics in Greece (1880s–1970s) [3] as well as coverage in other books such as [4][5][6]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:49, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Keep Per Arxiloxos.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:01, 15 April 2015 (UTC) @Boleyn: I'm aware that there's a few Greek museums stubs which are dubious, Hoverfish sorted out a lot of them.

- Keep This museum is an entity of its own since 1886, it has research and projects going on all over Greece. It doesn't need merging with the University of Athens. But if the nominator finds it "worth merging" elsewhere, then it would have been better to suggest merge it rather than AfD it. I think this one passes comfortably notability criteria.

- Then why not add those sources instead of leaving it horribly sourced? —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 19:34, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Nominator does not seem to realise that AfD is for deletion of article on non-notable subjects, not poorly sourced articles on notable subjects (although this article isn't even especially poorly sourced and is certainly not "unacceptably-sourced" as claimed in the prod). There is no mandate to delete poorly sourced articles, although some editors seem to believe there is. Citing WP:BLP is a red herring, as his employers' website is a reliable source on his career. BLP is primarily intended to protect living people against inaccurate statements in their articles and one assumes Dr Lomax probably has no problem with his page on the United Negro College Fund website. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:21, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Exceptionally promotional article for a travel blogger. The first sentence of the article calls her a " passionate writer, ... and global citizen " and the rest is in the same vein. (I would, btw, be quite prepared to consider bringing a deletion request as either AfD or G11 for any article with a lede calling the person a global citizen,or using passionate in the first sentence .)

No indication of notability. The article before my edits was supported by bare URLs to PRWeek, but all of them were broken links. I found one here, but it was the type of sources I was expecting that does not really suggest notability. It's interesting that their website says "For more information about us, please go to Wikipedia."

But notability isn't inherent, or at least not for principal dancers. We do actually need some kind of evidence that the subject has received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".

- I didn't think those facts would be in dispute, and I would actually argue that notability in the world of ballet isn't determined by wikipedians, but by the institutions that hire and promote dancers and put them on stage in leading roles in front of large audiences. As for other sources, I can find a number of reviews online in Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet (such as this one from as late as today, or this one from 2010, which calls him "purely brilliant in his jealousy-possessed murderer solo", an admittedly clumsy but literal translation). There are some online Romanian articles, such as this seemingly quite substantial one in Curierul Naţional, this one in a publication called avocatnet.ro, and two interviews in larevista.ro ([12], [13]) (the last two articles appear to be republished in several Romanian on-line sources). --Hegvald (talk) 07:56, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

- Comment The article clearly needs some expansion and doesn't pass WP:GNG with flying colours. However, there is no promotional wording in the article (admittedly because it is a stub). My gut feeling is that it is notable, but unfortunately no independent reliable sources have been published to fully back this up. The language's GitHub repository has 933 stars and 114 watchers so is used to a certain extent and is actively maintained. As pointed out above there are publications (1 and 2) by MIT about the article. — Jordan Mussi (talk • contribs) 13:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Citation of another user's (FactStraight) entry on the "talk" page of the article, which I fully endorse: "No sources verify Cusenza sovereignt. I suspect that this article and this family are a hoax. The new Wikipedia account, User:RiservaZingaroNet, has created and insists on retaining this article, without reliable sources, despite requests. The sources given are entirely to private, online websites and/or to a generic source about "surnames" that does not establish the specific history, significance or relationships of this alleged "House of Cusenza". Now we are being told that hundreds of years of history were deliberately destroyed so that we must take the "oral history" reported here as being truth. Unfortunately, that does not suffice in view of the challenges to this family's existence and notability that I am raising here.

Non-notable studio EP by non-notable singer. References include brief mentions, sales websites, celebrity twitter messages and status, blog posts from fans. This article fails WP:GNG. The EP fails WP:NALBUMS. The article looks like a publicity blitz to me, as another editor said previously at the first nomination for this article. User:Miniapolis said " Although the song has charted, I don't see it meeting WP:GNG (which trumps WP:NALBUMS) yet. This seems to be a trend with marginally-notable musicians: creating individual articles about them and all their recordings, in the apparent hope that something will survive AfD.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Contested prod. This is a badly written content fork of Internet censorship in China. It's about an incident in 2014 but is written in the present tense. However, the language is opaque and most of the references are in Chinese so it's impossible to understand what the current state of affairs is. Normally I'd merge it but without adequate references that can't (and shouldn't) be done. This is a well-meaning but hopeless article that fails WP:CFORK, WP:POV, WP:VERIFY. Andyjsmith (talk) 18:20, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - (i) The present tense is used only because it is not a incident in the past, but a incinent from past to present. It is still blocked now. (ii) Wikipedia:CFORK issue. I don't think it is a content fork. By definition, A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject. However, it is a complete article. Even if you really think it is a content fork, it should be included in the exclusion rule - related articles. (iii) WP:NPOV issue, the non-neutral words such as "obviously" have already removed. If there are still some, then please remove the words. (iv) WP:VERIFY issue. Most of the words have citation, exception some with the {{citation needed}} templates. Moreover, citations to non-English sources are allowed, although English-language sources are preferred. I don't think that "I don't understand non-English sources" can be a reason to deny the reliability of sources. --Yejianfei (talk) 18:50, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- I can see no reason why it cannot be included in the main article, which already has a section on specific events such as blocking of Google in 2013. The article uses both the past tense and the present continuous tense randomly, but only gives dates and references from mid 2014 - nothing more recent - so there's no reliable sources to prove that this is ongoing. I'm sure it is, of course, but then it certainly isn't a 2014 issue per the article title and much of the content, and that's an even stronger case for merging with the main article. Andyjsmith (talk) 19:58, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- About the tense: There is nothing wrong with the tense. Google started to be blocked at the end of May 2014 (past tense), but is still blocked at present (present tense). -- Yejianfei (talk) 15:51, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that's not how it reads. For example the second sentence says "users... found that" (past tense) "are not able" (present tense), both mixed up in the same sentence. You also talk about this as being ongoing but provide no recent references. Admittedly it's now a lot clearer than it was, but anyway that doesn't matter - this article is a content fork, which is all that needs to be said, really. Andyjsmith (talk) 21:02, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I've changed all the sentences with present tense to "started to", and now I don't think I need any references to prove whether it is ongoing. Again, I don't think it is a content fork. Do you think Windows 7 is a content fork from Microsoft Windows? -- Yejianfei (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but it simply is a content fork. Regardless of whether or not other articles are, this one is. Consider this point: the title refers to 2014. That means the article can only be about an event that happened in the past, in 2014, and is now finished (like the 2012 Olympics, for example). But in that case it is a content fork of the main article because there are already other similar incidents there that took place in the past, such as this one in 2013, and that is the appropriate place for it to be. But if it is about a wider ongoing issue (which it is) then it addresses a more general point about China's ongoing censorship of Google, which is a subject that is covered extensively in Internet censorship in China. So if it's in the past, about a specific event, it's a content fork and if it's in the present, about an ongoing issue, it's a content fork. Andyjsmith (talk) 22:43, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- (i) In fact, this one in 2013 you gave for example should be splited according to the Wikepedian rules Wikipedia:Splitting and Wikipedia:Article size.
- (ii) The question "Do you think Windows 7 is a content fork from Microsoft Windows?" is not actually asking you to judge whether that article should be deleted or merged, but asking you to clarify your judging standard of content fork, because I have found your judging standard is really strange. -- Yejianfei (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete The content in 2014 is pretty sparse, I think the best thing for the content as a whole is to place any wikiworthy content in Google China. And if Google china gets super big we can look at ways to split it then. Bryce Carmony (talk) 11:07, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Somewhat relevant: With regard to national censorship of popular sites, for Facebook we're using Censorship of Facebook and we put a handful of countries in there, each with different incidents. I notice most of the stuff in this article: Censorship_by_Google appears to be government or legal forced censorship on Google, and there's already a China section, so seems to be a good target for merging or merge to Google China as suggested above.. ― Padenton|✉ 21:48, 1 April 2015

- Standing behind Bush in a photograph is not a criterion for notability.
- He clearly fails WP:AUTHOR, co-eding aryicles is obviously not a valid reason to establish notability as a notable author. He also fails WP:POLITICIAN for that matter.

- What straw man arguments you make! It doesn't matter that he doesn't meet WP:COMPOSER or WP:PORNSTAR, either. FS, he's not a "creative professional". Wrong category. Meets WP:GNG. Numerous reliable news sources WHERE HE IS TEH SUBJECT demonstrate notability.
- Mischaracterizing him as a mere a "media commentator" is like describing Barack Obama as a mere "community organizer". FS! Then, at the citation you mischaracterize as being merely that he proofread, he is credited for his efforts as a diplomat to build democracy in Baghdad.
- Played a major role in Iraq's political history, among other things, as a kingmaker (of Nouri Al-Maliki). This classified cable was addressed specifically to him by name. Probably because it was largely about Maliki.

- I found one review and a press release. I removed the original sources, which were all non-usable for various reasons. It relied heavily on primary sources and IMDb, but it did have two reviews, neither of which were in places that Wikipedia would really consider reliable. VideoViews doesn't seem to have any real editorial oversight, which is kind of hammered in by the fact that they misspelled "reviews" at the top of the page. The issue with the ShockYa website is that it also doesn't appear to have any true verifiable editorial oversight and the review also appears to be a cut/paste from the Examiner website, which is blacklisted on Wikipedia, so that's a no go as well.

- @Widefox: WP:WAX? A shame about that BLP article, but under WP:NOTINHERITED, problems with a poor article on one of its minor actors (man with gun) does not denigrate the existing press that has THIS film topic meet WP:NF.
- But as long as we're waxing, an article on Ciminera may be back... as his notability as a chef (not as a filmmaker) may allow it just as it does with chef and foodie Bobby Flay. Thanks. Schmidt, Michael Q. 06:57, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- @MichaelQSchmidt: WP:NOTINHERITED is a powerful essay to remind us to consider solely on the merits of this article, all well and good. It's not actually that clear-cut is it? Guideline WP:NACTOR "1. Has had significant roles in multiple notable films,..." so there's an explicitly inherited relationship for actors from films (but agree none specified for films from actors, and none for minor roles). Sure, this film arguably passes GNG on its own merits (per above), but lacks normal healthy support - no incoming links as it's an orphan, it was promo/COI with the main outgoing link to be deleted non-notable (promo/COI). It may technically be a weak keep but it's not a rosy picture. Widefox; talk 09:46, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Widefox: But you are trying to denigrate the film's coverage through a dependence on an immaterial association of the film with a minor personality whose role was the simple descriptive "man with gun". Almost every film meriting a Wikipedia article also has actors who are themselves non-notable. At best that role is minor enough so that it should not be included in the article about the film, unless there is some coverage of "man with gun"... and I find none that include John+Basedow in way way other than his minor name being in listings. By way of extreme example, our article on the film Inception informs our reader of 14 cast members, while IMDB lists over 50 credited with many as descriptives. We do not ignore a film's coverage because some of its cast were non-notable. Sorry, but that's an extreme misuse of WP:INHERITED and not how we judge films. As even you grant "film arguably passes GNG on its own merits", there is no need to deflect by bringing forward an AFD on a different issue. As Basedow's minor role does not meet WP:NACTOR, that one goes, while this one stays. Schmidt, Michael Q. 10:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- @MichaelQSchmidt: Straw man argument. The sourcing speaks for itself - it's weak: [33] doesn't count for N (a simple listing), then we have an interview (so lacking independence) pages 1 and 2, and a primary. That leave two sources (1. and 5., as discussed above). That's borderline GNG, far short of significant coverage. There's no notable distributor or knowledge of wide distribution or award. These are serious notability issues. Separately to N, there's little or no redeeming/supporting features such as (notable actors) incoming links, outgoing links. It's an island barely above water. There's also the TOOSOON point above? Widefox; talk 11:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

As the main character of the franchise, this obviously shouldn't be a red link when we have a character list.

I think it's reasonable to assume that the article could be improved in the future to solve the issues such as notability, but until that time it does not need or justify a separate article.

- Keep I have used this free site daily for 10 years and have no financial connection. FWIW I'm quite familiar with wp:AFD discussion rules having attempted to remove Libertarian Party (UK). Chessgames.com has an invaluable database of master games, graded daily puzzles and biographies which should provide synergy with the Chess featured article for users of Wikipedia. Top grandmasters can also play consultation games with users. My efforts to use it as the authoritative reference it undoubtedly is for Henry Thomas Buckle's chessplaying record were thwarted when the reference was removed. The article lists his best games and record, what more is needed? Even if the article lacks newspaper references, if it reliably informs our readers it deserves to stay. This is an important principle & I believe WP:IAR applies. JRPG (talk) 16:18, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
- @JRPG: See WP:PPOV. Even if the site is useful, it still needs to meet our notability guidelines. Usefulness is also subjective, so that the argument that keeping the article under WP:IAR is subjective.
- Also, because I can't find any reliable sources to verify the article, (unless someone finds significant coverage from multiple reliable sources) the only article that can be produced that meets our verifiability guidelines is a very short article with very little information. Even a decent-sized article would have to rely on primary sources connected with the subject and self-published ones, thus not making the article a "reliable informer".

- Greetings Esquivalience I'm very familiar with the rules, agree the article doesn't meet them(!) and am an enthusiastic wp:deletionist so ..uhm -please let me explain why this is only the 2nd occasion where I've supported 'keep.' AFD rules seem to miss a point for websites used extensively as Wikipedia references. I also supported 'keep' for They work for you which uses Hansard transcriptions for UK politicians parliamentary speeches. It's is faster, collates more information on individual politicians than the official Parliament.uk & it's a reliable reference used in hundreds of biographies. It can easily be checked against Hansard.
- Similarly chessgames.com's importance is in providing Wikipedia chess users with a database of games which can be checked. Neither website needs an extensive Wikipedia article -they aren't important in their own right but it is useful for the user to know just a little bit about them.
- Take 3 recent world champions, Magnus Carlsen has 3 references,Viswanathan Anand has 3 and Garry Kasparov has 2. A book on any of them will have details of many their games which can be used to verify the database but chessgames.com database entry on Kasparov alone has 2,349 games, far more I think than any single book. I would expect most if not all of the 948 grandmaster articles listed in Category:Chess grandmasters will have at least one reference. I think either WP:IAR applies or a minor change to accommodate websites like these is required.
- Regards JRPG (talk) 22:46, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
- I am aware that in their biographies, many of the chessgames contributors also say they have contributed articles to Wikipedia and I would expect them to have used the website as a reference. JRPG (talk) 10:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
- I've no problems with a short article which includes a statement saying it's widely used as a chess-related reference in Wikipedia. If the site is deemed not-notable will that affects its use as a reference? If so, a large number of articles will need altering. JRPG (talk) 19:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. It's a well established site going back to 2001, and is one of the most popular chess-related sites on the internet, despite its well publicized shortcomings. I think significant negative coverage in reliable sources counts towards establish notability too. (I'll fix the link to Olimpiu Urcan's chesscafe article to point to the wayback machine.)
How to determine what is a "reliable source" with regard to chess? The fact is most mainstream news sources rarely cover chess, and when they do they often get the details wrong (e.g. not knowing the difference between a "game" and a "match"). Taylor Kingston's chesscafe.com, Edward Winter's chesshistory.com and Mark Crowther's theweekinchess.com are among the more reliable sources for chess information. Lubomir Kavalek's column in the Huffington Post is good, Leonard Barden's column in the Guardian is good... but the chess community will always be somewhat incestuous and self-referential.
I really think wikipedia needs to re-examine its WP:WEB notability policy; just because a web site doesn't have an article written about it in the New York Times doesn't mean it's not notable. The current policy makes it too easy for people with an agenda to get articles about websites they don't like deleted; this has happened in the past with other chess-related websites.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement. Outside of the solitary review in PCWorld (reminder: "However, the mere existence of reviews does not mean the software is notable. Reviews must be significant, from a reliable source, and/or assert notability"), all coverage seems fringe, promotional or self-published.

It may or may not literally be a hoax. The only source was dead and the internet search is circular since this page has been around for so long.

- It is certainly not a hoax; I was the one who declined speedy for that idea. Yes, a search of plain Google turns up a lot of Wiki mirrors or sites that link to this article. But a search of Google News makes it clear that the term has passed into the language.[38] [39] [40] [41] [42] On the other hand, those are all just mentions; they are not enough to build an article around.

Fails WP:GNG. This is a web drama starring Exo as...themselves. Each episode is 15 minutes long. It started airing five days ago (as of today). The article has no sources at all. I can't see how this show could already be notable at this point in time (and actually how it could ever become such).

Listing as "young innovator" means only "not yet notable" ; student prizes do not give notability . All this is on a par with the final sentence: "He later went on take 2nd place in his junior high school science fair after devising a system to broadcast "Laser Kenny Loggins" using a pair of gerbils and a shoe-box diorama."

- delete WP:TOOSOON facts are cited to her writer bio at Huff Post - No evidence of notability there. She is a writer on 3 movies IMDb, but no one appears to have written anything about her in connection to these movies in a secondary source. The linked article in Variety does not. similar for her debut novel. This [44] is a paid-for promotion. her book sounds like it's a movie pitch. Which, along with the 3 IMDb credits indicates that she may well be notable soon. She certainly has mastered the art of self-promotion, I assume that she wrote this WP article about herself. Or her agent did. Or her mother. I'm not sure what sort of standards the non bluelinked Monrovia Weekly maintains. It is the only secondary source on the page that actually discusses Hillin. But the article is not signed, a fact that combines with the breathless tone ("so begins yet another exciting chapter of her prolific life as Santa Monica-based Taryn Hillin, pen name C.T. Hillin, adds published author to her burgeoning resume with the release of her debut novel") which the Monrovia Weekly was the only publication - web or print - on the planet to notice. If it wasn't written by Hilen, or someone close to her, I'll eat this page. It and IMDb are the sum total of what we have. It's WP:TOOSOONE.M.Gregory (talk) 12:11, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Despite this claim that he "starred" in all those shows, they were just a few episodes. Yes he has quite a few tv shows he was on-but none of the characters really stood out big time. (Though I do find his tv listing quite impressive I will admit) Wgolf (talk) 00:27, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Okay trying to find any reliable sources for this rap duo. I did find a link on MTV.com though which is reliable but other then that I'm having trouble finding sources-now maybe someone from Italy might be able to help.
