No notability and considerable promotionalism. One of the "achievements" given is that "GCWS is listed on wikipedia as one of the notable NGOs in Mumbai, India" . Good goals, no evidence of accomplishment. DGG ( talk ) 23:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC) DGG ( talk ) 23:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment. Notice to all editors here! Joseph2302 the AFD nominator is taking this issue personal. He has nominated this same article for speedy deletion on the grounds of "undisclosed paid editing". He has really made me cry for the past 24 hours. I don't know why he's attacking all the pages I created so far. He nominated all of them for speedy deletion and then for AFD. There must be vested interest in his mind. I've already alerted Admins about this issue via the appropriate means. Thanks Hilumeoka2000 (talk) 03:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hilumeoka2000, not disclosing paid editing is a very, very serious thing on Wikipedia. People can still edit with a COI like paid editing, but you need to be up front about this. Also, DGG (the one who actually nominated the articles) is a good editor and one that is extremely unlikely to nominate a page purely because someone is a paid editor. He will mention it if it is relevant but when he nominates articles it is almost always because there is an issue with notability and in some cases, promotional prose. I would like to politely request that you refrain from making statements like this because they are not going to help you out with editing on Wikipedia. You broke the rules by not disclosing your conflict of interest and when you were caught, you proceeded to accuse other editors of doing this out of spite or some other conflict of interest. That's not only assuming bad faith, it's also considered to be an attack against the editor. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:37, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • As Tokyogirl79 says, it is not currently a reason for speedy deletion that an article was written by an undeclared paid editor. It is not a specific reason for deletion at AfD, but we can delete at AfD any article that the consensus determines is unfit for Wikipedia. To avoid confusion, I avoid giving paid editing as the sole reason, and usually I do not even mention it, just as I did not mention it here. I do not need to. We certainly can and will delete an article about a non-notable subject, or a promotional article regardless of subject, and almost all articles written by undeclared paid editors fail on both grounds, along with a good many of those written by declared paid editors. For reasons given at WP:COI, it is extremely difficult to write proper WP articles for pay, though a few people have been able to learn how. It's a specialized form of writing, and people used to writing press releases or the like cannot easily re-orient themselves. If an editor writes a few unacceptable articles, we naturally check others they have written. Each one will be judged on its individual merits.
It is not permitted to use WP for purposes of advertising, paid or unpaid, and anyone who persists in doing so will be blocked from contributing in avoid to avoid further improper contributions. Once they are blocked, anything further they write under any username will be immediately deleted. For completeness, I make a reference here to our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. You have now been given a short block by Tokyogirl for abuse of editing privileges. If you write another promotional article, declared or undeclared, you are very likely to be blocked indefinitely.

no evidence for notability, besides some PR. Trivial awards, and mentions.

Charles Haigh-Wood

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

Fails WP:GNG. The guy mostly appears in books etc because of being father-in-law to T. S. Eliot. A local historian - Ken Craven - has effectively self-published this family biography but otherwise there is little other than primary sources of the type already used in the article and passing mentions such as this. There are also some passing mentions in art sale catalogues, basically repeating his d.o.b./d.o.d. and a brief description of the artwork. The BBC says even less.

Unless exhibiting at the Royal Academy automatically confers notability, the subject matter does not reach our bar. The article appears to reflect the niche interest of its creator but little interest from others. Sitush (talk) 05:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep: There is discussion of Haigh-Wood's paintings. E.g. http://www.americanreadingforum.org/yearbook/yearbooks/02_yearbook/pdf/06_Dowhower_final.pdf For the Royal Academy exhibitions, from WP:ARTIST "The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." I've not been able to find out whether these exhibitions featured Haigh-Wood's works as a significant part, or whether his pictures were one out of many. I've also been unable to find if significant art galleries hold works by Haigh-Wood. It appears that the UK national gallery and portrait gallery do not, unless my search-fu has failed. However, as this appears to be a case where more in-depth research is necessary to characterise his notability, I suggest that the article remains until someone can put in the necessary work. Ross-c (talk) 07:14, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you may find that VictorianPainter is the person who can "put in the necessary work" ... the problem being that there is nothing further to say and WP:BURDEN applies. I'm afraid that I can say no more about that here because of the potential for outing. I have an inherently low opinion of topic notability guidelines, so it is probably best that I do not comment on trash like that.

    As far as the RA exhibitions go, Haigh-Wood was a mere Associate of the Royal Academy and literally tens of thousands of paintings have been exhibited there. FWIW, I am resident close to Haigh-Wood's home ground, I know a lot of the local history and even round here, he is known mainly for the Eliot connection (and not known at all by most people). He really is a minor figure. - Sitush (talk) 09:44, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- Certainly a synthesis concerning a number of women who are unrelated apart from flying from a particular airport. If the women are notable they should have a free-standing article with a list in the airport article (or one on its history), but if (as I suspect) they are NN, I do not think we can keep it.

  • Keep Actually, some of these women are indeed notable. The article's author didn't link to their pages, and in one case had the name wrong. One of the issues for women in wikipedia is how they're listed -- first name/maiden surname, first name/married surname, first name/maiden surname/married surname. It can make it hard to find them and link to them. I fixed as many as I could figure out. valereee (talk) 19:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be pure promotion. I first nominated it for speedy but it was suggested an AfD discussion would be better. The creator of the article is a rather obvious promotional WP:SPA whose sole Wiki-activity is creating writing this article, as well as inserting promotional material about this person into other articles [6], [7], [8], [9] or otherwise misusing Wikipedia to promote this person [10], [11], [12]. The article is more or less her CV. Even though written in a somewhat promotional tone, there is nothing to suggest notability. Writing academic papers and lecturing is not enough, that would make every academic in the world notable (and this person does not appear to occupy an academic position, so less notable that hundreds of thousands of academics who publish and lecture). The subject has also written some books, none of which appear notable and do not appear to have been published by any major publishing house. Last, apparently she worked for a local TV station in 1996. That is also far from notability. In short, this article and the activity of its creation are purely done for promotional purposes, and the subject is not notable beyond a relative notability that hundreds of thousands of people enjoy. Jeppiz (talk) 20:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DMRRT I an not a very experienced Wiki user, but this article is not promotional. Miss Clark is one of the top Respiratory Therapists and nursing researchers in the US as evidence by her awards and publications. She lectures all over the world. Her books and publications have been translated into several languages. In addition she has had a very successful career as a journalist. The scholar link you listed on top proves it. The information is well referenced by 3rd party websites and sources. Why are you trying to delete it? The content on this page is verifiable and does not violate any copyrights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMRRT (talk • contribs) 21:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC) — DMRRT (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Yes, the content is verifiable and nobody said it violate any copyrights, but how is this person notable? You claim she is one of the top researchers in the US, but it is not evidenced by any awards or publications. On the contrary, I found no particular academic record in peer-reviewed journals, no PhD and no professorship. Most starting assistant professors have academic CVs that are stronger. The same thing goes for the alleged "very successful career as a journalist". For which major newspapers has she written? I have absolutely no objection to this person, who probably is charming and intelligent person. That is not the point, though. The question if if she meets Wikipedia's requirement of notability, and nothing in either your article or your reply provide any verifiable information that she is more notable than hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of persons who write research papers or are journalists.Jeppiz (talk) 21:21, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Concerning notability Given that claim that the subject is a "leading researcher", I checked it out. Not one single hit on JSTOR, very few hits on Google Scholar, only one of which appears to have been cited, and only 8 cites for that one. That is very low, influential books and articles have thousands of cites. Once again, this could be a charming person but she is most definitely not a top researcher.Jeppiz (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She taught second and third year medical students in Boston, wrote for Reuters news, started many of the regular feature pages on Medcape/WebMD and is the only nurse to receive the American College of Chest Physicians International Humanitarian Award, but most of that I was told by someone called “ the Red Pen of Doom” we could not put in the article because I would have to reference her CV.

Neither teaching medical students nor writing for Reuters news is notable. I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself, but teaching students or writing are claims that would apply to hundreds of thousands or millions. A Google search for "American College of Chest Physicians International Humanitarian Award + Varnell Clark" does not return a single hit. And like you say, “ the Red Pen of Doom” is not a reliable source. If no particular notability can be verified from a reliable source, then the subject is not notable by Wikipedia standards. I'm afraid you're confusing being available online with notability. Again, her textbook is almost never cited, it is not notable by academic standards. Jeppiz (talk) 21:51, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is interesting: you said she was not published by a notable publisher and I showed that she is published by the leading text book publisher in the US and one of the leading national magazines for 20 years, you ignored that. You said, that she did not have a viable teaching CV, I can prove she does. You ignored that.

How can you say she is not notable? How many nurses are the sole faculty on physician education programs?

OH and I didn’t do this, but it looks like other people are referencing her work in Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St._Alphonsus_Liguori,_Rome

I realize you're new here, but we're not talking about the same thing. I never said she didn't do anything. And I would kindly ask you not to put words in my mouth, which you're doing repeatedly in the post above. She is no doubt a good physiciannurse, but you're intentionally or unintentionally flooding your posts with "stuff", perhaps hoping the mass of it will sound convincing. It would be much better if you found one clear case of her being notable.
  • You talk about her teaching CV. Utterly irrelevant, there are millions of teachers. Giving guest lectures abroad certainly isn't notable either.
  • The most damning case against her notability as a researcher comes from you. You provide what you claim to be six peer-reviewed articles. I checked each and every one of them in Google Scholar. Not all of them are really peer-reviewed articles but the most revealing fact is that Not one of them has ever been cited. Again, there are hundreds of thousands of academics who both publish and are cited, and all are more notable as academics than this woman.
  • The book to which you have kept inserting links is a self-published book. It cannot even be used on Wikipedia as per WP:RS and it is not notable.
  • The book by "the leading text book publisher in the US" has been cited a mere 8 times, and not reviewed even once at Amazon. There is nothing to suggest it's notable.
  • I know nothing of her Shakespearean research but with all due respect, given how severely you misrepresent her academic record I am afraid I must suspect the same to be the case here.
  • In short, you have made my much more convinced than when we started that she is not notable. I doubted it from the start, but thought there may be a possibility. A fact-check of your post above, long and polemic though it is, shows that unless a new Wikipedia policy decide that every single academic who has ever published anything is notable, this woman is not notable. At the very least, no verifiable proof of her notability has been given.Jeppiz (talk) 23:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She is not a physician! She is a nurse who is recognized as acknowledged as an expert in several countries and teaches physicians !!! Her articles have been cited, her textbook is used all over the world. How come I can find them in google and you can't? Just like you couldn't find the humanitarian award? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMRRT (talk • contribs) 23:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC) — DMRRT (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

My bad, so she is not a physician, she is a nurse. Changes nothing. There is nothing to suggest she is a recognized as an expert anywhere. On the contrary, all the evidence this far shows the contrary. If you can find articles of her that have been widely cited, all you need to do is to post the link here to Google Scholar so we can verify how often she has been cited, by whom and in which publications. [14] is a random example of a medical article that really is published in a leading peer reviewed journal and has been widely cited.Jeppiz (talk) 23:17, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be something personal with you. Her article has been on Wikipedia for more than a year with no problems. I have shown where she is published both nationally and internationally. Her books are translated into other languages and used world wide, she has won awards from major national physician associations, is asked to present educational programs for physicians, is cited in other publications. And your response is to accuse me of "but you're intentionally or unintentionally flooding your posts with WP:STUFF, perhaps hoping the mas" I am not sure what you mean by this, but clearly you seem to have a grudge here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMRRT (talk • contribs) 23:25, 12 May 2015 (UTC) — DMRRT (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

There is nothing personal, and I kindly encourage you to read WP:NPA before you start talking about the personal motives of fellow users. You may also want to read WP:COI. I don't think we'll get any further until you start provide verifiable facts (verifiable by proper sources). I already showed you how to link to Google Scholar, if she really is well-published and well-cited. My own search of Google Scholar, JSTOR (for academic publications) and Amazon (for her books) all show the opposite of your claims. She has almost no citations in Google Scholar, I did not find her on JSTOR and the book you claim to be so famous is neither widely cited on Google Scholar nor ever reviewed on Amazon. You make a lot of claims, but not one of them stands up to scrutiny. If she is as notable as you say, you should not have to spend your time making inflated arguments here, you could just post a few links to show it. Is Graham Colditz notable? Yes, he is, and that link proves it, his work has been cited 221398 times. His top article alone has been cited 3911 times. That's how easy it is to prove the notability of someone who really has an notable academic record.Jeppiz (talk) 23:40, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I wish I could support this, but I'm afraid I cannot go for the yes. Even tried a search, but nothing is really special to support this article and discussion. Jeppiz's comments also concerns me about this nobility of this article. Unless you find something that is really reliable (and also verified, besides news sources), I have to shoot for the delete. Sorry.--Damirgraffiti |☺What's Up?☺ 00:11, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I have no idea if those persons are notable or not. If they are, great. If they aren't, perhaps those articles should be deleted.

This analysis shows that there is almost nothing useful in the reference list, which are WP:BOMBARD, leading me to conclude that this is WP:ADMASQ. If the lady were notable then there would be a great tranche of references in WP:RS. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. I see none of that, not to the least degree. This appears to be an attempt made to give her faux notability by having a Wikipedia article. Fiddle Faddle 11:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I see that there is a load of listing of alleged references above this message. Doubtless, based on long experience at AfD we will see further lists below this. My firm advice to those who believe that they are references is to check that them meet the criteria in my message above. If they do, then use them in the article, if they do not, please stop bandying them about. With regard to her work, it is simply not usually possible to use it as a reference. Let me try to explain. If s/he manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be her/his work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for her/him, simply because it is the product s/he makes. So it is with research. However, a review of her/his work by others tends to be a review of her/him and her/his methods, so is a reference, as is a peer reviewed paper a reference for her/his work. You may find WP:ACADEME of some use in seeing how Wikipedia and Academe differ hugely.
Most of this discussion falls into the WP:TLDR category. Arguments need to be policy based, not WP:ILIKEIT and not WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. And absolutely not "Try this reference for size!" Our job is to write articles. Fiddle Faddle 12:39, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is getting silly. Instead of understanding WP:BOMBARD the article has now blossomed suddenly with a huge tranche of new alleged references, none of which I intend to analyse. There are at least three areas where WP:CITEKILL has been perpetrated. Every time I see this, especially with an author of self published works, I think WP:VANISPAMCRUFTISEMENT. There does seem to be a determined effort to publicise this author and these works. Fiddle Faddle 16:38, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hear hear I couldn't agree more, and that was my impression already yesterday after trying to talk to DMRRT. The more we tell the user how to do, the more they do the opposite. I fear we are but a little step away from seeing the entire Google history of the subject posted into the article as "references". I tried to assume good faith at first, but this looks ever more promotional.Jeppiz (talk) 16:44, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll update the references, there are many out there for her. But I will say we keep getting conflicting direction. When this article was created, I was told I could only use what was in her Who's Who, because it was a published 3rd party, and other sources like that i. e. the YouTube that was not posted by her, etc . Even in this go around, we have to use what is in google scholar? We can't use Pub Med or CINAHL? So for her books we have to use references that appear in Google Scholar and Cite her work, not the work itself? DMRRT (talk) 13:19, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What you really need is to establish her notability. This far, that has not been done. Currently, every established user who has commented here (three in total) has recommended that the article be deleted as no case for her notability has been made. No established user has recommend the page be kept. And yes, Google scholar would be a good start, as I told you several times yesterday. If I can give a friendly piece of advice, and echo was Timtrent said, stop WP:BOMBARDING the discussion with a mass of stuff. Try to write messages of just a few lines where you make a short, coherent, sourced case.Jeppiz (talk) 13:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Notability has not been established. What has been established is that the subject is competent in her job, even respected in her field. This is not notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory of qualified - or even exceptional - practitioners in any field. While she has a commendable career, and is clearly a contributor in her profession, she does not warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. Scr★pIronIV 14:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non notable per nom. Dbrodbeck (talk) 15:31, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me finish cleaning this up. You all have gone off on these tangents and decided she is not notable before even giving us a chance to make any changes. When this article was written two years ago, we worked with a couple of editors who wanted the references done this particular way. And now suddenly as of yesterday none of this is right and it all has to be redone. I can go back to those recommendations in the history, I was told to list her books like this: William Faulkner: Novels 1930–1935 (Joseph Blotner and Noel Polk, ed.) (Library of America, 1985) ISBN 978-0-940450-26-4. Specifically, to reference them and not to use reviews. We were forced to use Who's who, which was old at the time. Now you are telling me I have to use google scholar? In fact looking back at the history. I was told by an editor I could not use credentials such as RN. So please try adn work wit us in getting this sorted out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMRRT (talk • contribs) 17:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I've pointed out, it would be helpful if you would not assume personal motives (WP:NPA). We simply follow well-established Wikipedia guidelines. The article argues this person is a notable academic, and we apply the clear and detailed guidelines in WP:ACADEMIC to explain why that is not the case. She may very well be a good academic, but that is not the same as a notable academic.Jeppiz (talk) 22:13, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read your own criteria

7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. –

Having another country use your book as their national standard is substantial.

8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area. –

Please read the bio, she was the Editorial Director for Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Medscape/WebMD, and the Pulmonary Medicine Editor of the peer review journal MedGenMed. Medscape/WebMd is the largest and most respected company in Medical Education today.

9. The person is in a field of literature - This certainly does not apply, and let's not even waste any more time on that dead end. She is the author of a self-publihshed book about Rome. That is very far from notability for an author

You seem to keep forgetting the other 3 books. All the medical publications and all the Shakespeare publications — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMRRT (talk • contribs) 22:50, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not my criteria, Wikipedia's criteria.
7. No, having your book used in another country is not automatically notable. That would make most authors of standard textbooks notable. Truly notable textbooks usually have 3000 cites or more on Google Scholar.
8. Medscape/WebMd isn't even a journal, doesn't apply under Criteria 8. MedGenMed isn't a leading academic journal, it's just an online journal. Besides, she was never the editor of either of them.
9. Typical WP:BOMBARD. One non-notable or several non-notable books, no difference. Notability has not been demonstrated for a single one.
Like most users, I give up on you.
  • You don't know how to edit WP:COMPETENCE
  • You don't understand academia and what constitutes academic notability WP:ACADEMIC
  • you refuse to listen WP:HEAR.
  • You're not even trying to make a good article, you're just trying to make sure this person stays on Wikipedia WP:NOTHERE.
It's impossible to discuss with you, and I won't waste anymore time. Bye.Jeppiz (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice, you're absolutely right. I got a bit exasperated but that is my problem. Already told the user I'm stepping away from this.Jeppiz (talk) 00:55, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion is not for personal conversation. Please use your own talk pages

Give it up DM. This Jeppiz person is clearly on a power trip. She threatened to block you in the very first comment she made and has been on the attack from the start. Look at the tone of her comments. She did not help you and deliberately got in the way when you were trying to make adjustments and interact with the others.

There is a lot of talk here about upholding the “integrity and standards of Wikipedia”. What a joke! Apparently, those standards mean that a google search carries more weight than PubMed and CINAHL.

These people know nothing about medical and scientific research and they don’t know how to interact with authors.

Oh and she sent me a message accusing me of being a sock puppet too. She doesn't listen. She is just interested in expressing her own views, and accusing others to make herself look important, not really in helping anyone. This is a huge ego trip for her. She decided this entry was going to be deleted and that was never going to change. RCP110 (talk) 11:27, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had to sign on a look. Yup, Jeppiz sent me a sock puppet message too. You're right it doesn't matter how many times she gets told WE ARE NOT SUCK PUPPETS. She has decided. So she can just be rude and do as she pleases.

I think you are absolutely right too about the “standards” of Wikipedia. How interesting DM that you weren’t allowed to put Miss Clark’s education or previous positions held because that would have been “using her CV to promote her” even though you could verify them.

Let me begin by saying I am not a sock puppet. Do not send me messages and attempt to negate my opinions by doing so. In reviewing this page it is very obvious that the decision to delete the entry was predetermined and no amount of editing or revision would have changed that outcome. I am equally sure that it will be deleted, not because it is without merit, the Lady appears to be more than notable in her field, but it will be deleted to appease someone’s ego.

It appears that a significant amount of emphasis was placed on google searches. Which allegedly did not produce any results? DM appears to have repeated those searches, the first step in any good scientific evaluation, and found that there were many viable citations to the Lady’s work, as well peer review articles, etc. Which is what the first editor said they were looking for? He posted those results and they were categorized as spam. He/she (I do not know DM) was also apparently not allowed or advised not to post the material that would further authenticate the Lady’s accomplishments. It is also obvious from the flow of the discussion that while attempting to address a query from one individual, he/she was being harassed by another and not allowed the opportunity to complete the changes without being directed in another area.

I think there are some good people in this discussion that would have been helpful, had they been allowed to be and had DM been allowed to discuss and ask questions. How interesting that no recommendations were actually made on what to add to the article. No one actually helped DM or answered his/her questions. Instead “standards” were discussed at length.

It should also be noted that inappropriate comments made by the Wikipedia editors were left in the body of the discussion, but any comments being made relating to the editorial process were hidden by someone this morning. They accused individuals of being sock puppets and when the charges were answered, they hide it. Interesting! To my professional colleagues who asked me to review this. Thank you. It has been a very thought-provoking case study in how not to manage authors. It also illustrates that Wikipedia’s editorial decisions are arbitrary and easily lend themselves to the editor’s self-gratification. In a poor attempt to impose editorial standards, the credibility of Wikipedia is only being damaged by such practices.

  • Keep I am the creator of this page. Creating it was a lot of work and the reason I did this was because I wanted to improve Wikipedia. Viktor Lazlo is a very well-known singer throughout Europe, especially in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, etc. The album has spent eight weeks on the Dutch album charts and was still very successful. Lazlo was on television many times performing songs from this album, which were co-written by famous songwriters. This definitely is NOT an unknown musical recording as Lazlo was signed to Polydor records for ten years because of her stardom.

The citation you used does not say anything about the Dutch album charts. In fact, the song is not listed in "the Best of" section, nor does it show up when you click the "Charts" link. Yet this is the citation you put to substantiate the Dutch Album Charts claim. Ormr2014 | Talk  13:26, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It did show the album charts, when you had clicked on CHARTS. But I changed the link to a direct page now, so it should show up now. Why are you so keen on deleting an article that someone else has created putting a lot of time into it? Viktor Lazlo is a well-known singer and this was a successful album and thus it enhances Wikipedia by having detailed information on this release. Sunpoint (talk) 04:27, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sunpoint I didn't single out your article for deletion because I was "so keen on deleting an article that someone else has created putting a lot of time into it". I singled it out because the only reference you gave did not substantiate your notability claim (for the song, not the singer) and searching for information on Google didn't yield much.
The fact is, many people create articles about non-notable songs, people, books, etc. Sometimes a singer will be notable but a particular song they sang isn't. It happens a lot and people often assume that since the artist is notable the song is too. When the article gets deleted, they don't understand why. It's not a matter of harassment or editors being jerks, it's just a matter of safeguarding the encyclopedia from inappropriate content being added.
In any event, the new link you added to the charts section clearly shows the song peaking at 71 in the Dutch Charts, which is why I'm withdrawing my nomination. Ormr2014 | Talk  19:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. - There is absolutely no indication of notability; the references are all in Japanese and the external links seem promotional in nature. Ormr2014 | Talk  Ormr2014 (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The fact the references are in Japanese is irrelevant to an AfD discussion (see the second criterion in WP:GNG). The issue is whether there are WP:RS or not. The article already cites multiple articles in major Japanese news sources such as Oricon and Sports Nippon, and there are plenty more: [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], etc. Admittedly, one reason it was the subject of so much coverage was that it was a ratings failure, despite featuring a major star. Still, failure does not mean it is not notable. As a golden hour TV show on a major network, the show easily clears WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 22:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The language of the sources is relevant per Citing Non-English Sources. Because none of the sources cited are in English (given that this is an English Wiki), the ability to adequately gauge the legitimacy of inclusion is severely hindered. Furthermore, according to Citing Non-English Sources, "if a dispute arises involving a citation to a non-English source, editors may request that a quotation of relevant portions of the original source be provided, either in text, in a footnote, or on the article talk page."
and
"When quoting a non-English source (whether in the main text, in a footnote, or on the talk page), a translation into English should always accompany the quote." Ormr2014 | Talk 
If you want to dispute that the Japanese sources are RS, or argue that the citations are incorrect, you may do so. That can be an issue on an AfD, though often it is better to start with a discussion on the article talk page first. But the fact they are in Japanese itself is not an issue for the AfD. Articles in any language can be cited as support in an AfD discussion. And given WP:NRVE, the mere existence of such Japanese RS -- and not their actual citation -- is sufficient to prove notability. Michitaro (talk) 00:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. --DAJF (talk) 23:37, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an argument against the use of Japanese sources per se, but the validity of citing only Japanese sources as proof of notability, without English translations, and the Wikipedia policy concerning the use of foreign language sources as outlined in Citing Non-English Sources, which clearly states that such sources should be accompanied with English translations when there is a dispute. This article fails to comply with this rule. Ormr2014 | Talk 

  • Comment It's not against policy for an article to cite only non-English sources as proof of notability without translations, though. Translations are only needed when making a direct quote or when an editor makes a request challenging a specific citation, which hasn't happened here. If there's something you'd like translated, that can be done. --Cckerberos (talk) 08:58, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cckerberos When a "dispute" (the word used by Wikipedia and not my own choice of words) arises over non-English citations, a translation must be provided. There is and has been a dispute in the form of this AFD. I am challenging the validity of these sources as proving notability and therefore English translations must be provided.
Here's the main problem where these citations are concerned. Whenever I come across non-English citations, I run them through Google translate to determine the validity of the citations. Having done so with these particular citations, I found nothing to support notability, but as the sources are not in English, making a case against them is problematic, which is why I have repeatedly emphasized the need to provide English translations (which Wikipedia's policies indicate is the correct course of action), which the author and others voting in favor of keeping the article have continually refused. So, to provide a little greater clarity, I will provide a synopsis of the first three citations and links to their English translation for others to peruse:
  • Citation #1: A four paragraph blog post stating simply that Horikita Maki will be playing in “Pure White”[1]
  • Citation #2: Another article stating the same and giving a brief description of the show.[2]
Citation #3: Another description of the show[3]
Anyone who reads the English translations of the citations can clearly see they all pretty much simply describe the show and do not establish notability.Ormr2014 (talk) 17:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  1. ^ "English Translation of First Citation".
  2. ^ "English Translation for second citation".
  3. ^ "English Translation of third Citation".
  • I agree that an AfD is a dispute, but policy states that editors "may request" a translation of a citation in the case of a dispute, not that translations for all non-English sources must automatically be provided. You're correct that in this case the cites describe the show rather than provide analysis of it; they seem to have been cited only for specific facts. But they (and more so those provided by Michitaro) are still enough for WP:GNG as their existence shows "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". In this case, the specific claim to notability seems to be that the article's subject was a primetime show on a major national network starring a popular actress. --Cckerberos (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The historically notable author thing can be debated- the catch with that sort of thing is that when it was initially written it was intended to cover authors like Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe. We've had trouble establishing this level of notability for authors like Stephen King and even Isaac Asimov, so Stephenson would be just as difficult. In any case, a search brought up multiple reviews for the work and many articles. I'm adding them in now, so this will have no problem passing notability guidelines as a whole.

  • Delete - per WP:TNT Oh wow. I see a lot of issues with this. The lead is based on a MotherJones article and a book someone wrote. The MotherJones article doesn't seem to support many of the article's claims. The book is used as a reference for claims throughout the article, represented as undisputed fact. Books aren't reliable sources, even Then Wikileaks is used as a reference. All in all, this article is mostly original research. Other sources include democraticunderground.com, illinoispaytoplay.com, etc. If this article is kept, it needs a complete rewrite, every section is riddled with non-neutral language, and an article like this would only be statable as fact had there been a conviction or an admittal of guilt. I am having trouble finding one, but am of course open to reconsidering if one is presented. Many revisions would also meet the grounds for WP:CRD #2 as they attack a WP:BLP. Really, the easiest way to get a useful article would be to just 'Blow it up and start over', assuming this can pass notability guidelines. ― Padenton|✉   00:46, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First wife of US President Theodore Roosevelt, died long before he ran for president and was, therefore, not First Lady. Searches will turn up info on her but only in relation first to her husband based on their four-year marriage. No notability on her own, not even while she was married to Roosevelt. Fails WP:GNG and, as a result, fails WP:BIO as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED or a given based on WP:1E. If her husband had not become famous after her death, we wouldn't be here discussing this at all as the article wouldn't have been written in the first place. It's her husband who has the notability, not his deceased wife. Article's content could should be merged into Theodore Roosevelt if there is no consensus for deletion. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 15:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:BIOFAMILY, which states "Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person". Not noted for anything other than her relationship with Theodore Roosevelt. No prejudice against a redirect to his article, though. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I read the arguments to keep on the previous AfD and I concur. The subject is notable, it's acknowledged that she influenced Roosevelt, and there is enough verified information about her to support an article. —МандичкаYO 😜 16:29, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Influencing someone ≠ Notability. Frankly, the previous "keep" arguments overlooked how just about all reliable sources discussing her really pertain more to the President himself. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • People, places and things can gain notability because of public interest, even if people are only curious about those subjects because of their proximity to highly notable people. It is simply a fact that there is public interest in people associated with people considered to be of great historic notability, and this can result in long-term coverage in reliable sources, including encyclopedias. I really don't see how you can argue this is not true. In terms of places, if a really famous person once lived there, even if it's way "before" they became notable, there's a good chance we will probably celebrate that space by putting it on our "Big Book of Notable Buildings!" (ie National Register of Historic Places). Or if the person was REALLY famous, he didn't even have to live there but let's say someone he was related to lived there and our notable person probably visited though we have no specifics... even though the actual building is long gone, we'll build a cool replica and declare the surrounding land to be a historic park. All because of loose proximity with a notable person. If you sincerely don't believe that things can be notable purely by proximity/relationship with a notable person, then there are a lot of articles on Wikipedia I should see you attempting to delete, if you apply that simple criteria. I will give you some suggestions. How about Gerald Ford's dad, who was an alcoholic who had no relationship with his son? Stalin's first wife, who he was only married to from 1906-1907, or John Lennon's dad, who also had almost no relationship with his son, but has a full biography that even includes an "urban legend" section!? And seriously, don't cite the "Wikipedia:Other stuff exists" (which is an essay, not an actual guideline by the way). If there is an important rule that you apparently feel is a black-and-white issue and not subjective, you should not have a problem applying it to other articles. That's the whole point of having a rule: if it only applied to one thing one time or is applied abstractly, it's not actually a rule; it's just a decision. —МандичкаYO 😜 17:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is a big bold tag at the top of every essay that declares THIS IS NOT A WIKIPEDIA GUIDELINE, so I don't know why there's any point in pretending otherwise. People observing may think see the alphabet soup and incorrectly infer that a guideline is being cited, when it's really just an essay you personally agree with. And, again, if you cite that something is not notable because of a very strict guideline, then you should have no problem applying that guideline to any article. It's a no brainer. You're supposed to WP:BEBOLD, remember! Otherwise, the claim that you are applying any neutral criteria rings hollow and is a demonstration of "I just don't believe THIS person is notable." —МандичкаYO 😜 18:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the reasons spelled out in the prior AfD. It doesn't improve the encyclopedia, or anyone wanting to use it, to bury significant well sourced, well organized information like this. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The issue isn't about reliability of sources or the organization of information. Also, "bury[ing]" information isn't a convincing argument per WP:LOSE, which states effort/information put into something does not excuse the article from the requirements of policy and guidelines and In some cases content can be merged to other relevant articles. All notable information on her can simply go into her husband's article. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is ample coverage of her life in reliable sources, including ANB (see last AfD for DGG's arguments on this) and a book about her. The earlier merge proposal from January was also being heavily opposed for this reason, and because there is too much content to merge to Roosevelt's bio (starting an AfD with an ongoing merge proposal is also a bad idea). A merge would just lead to a spin-out article on his first marriage, essentially recreating this bio. Leave it be. Fences&Windows 23:08, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are sufficient sources out there for her to pass out notability requirements, as shown in the previous AFD. The ongoing merge discussion on TR's talkpage is failing because she is notable enough. Calidum T|C 23:24, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Additional comment: When this is closed, the closing admin should do the honor of putting the four-month old merge request out of its misery, since both really on the same fundamentally flawed interpretation of our notability guidelines. It doesn't matter why an article gets coverage in reliable sources; it only matters that that coverage exists. Calidum T|C 18:14, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The reason DOES matter; one does not become notable simply for being discussed in a notable person's relationships. Notability guidelines FOR BIOGRAPHIES are more nuanced than simply "It has been covered in reliable sources". WP:BIO is the relevant guideline to apply, and it indicates she's not a notable person for only being noted as one's wife. See the WP:BIO1E and WP:BIOFAMILY sections in particular. It is in fact the "keep" votes that are misunderstanding and/or erroneously disregarding BIO. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:20, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm absolutely floored at the number of Wikipedia editors with a reasonable amount of edits behind them who have no clue regarding WP:GNG, WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:1E. Adequate sources does not notability make. Further, if you take the time to actually look into those sources, you will find that the focus of those sources is on President Roosevelt, not his first wife. What's more, one life event (marrying TR) that wouldn't have passed GNG when it occurred also does not make for notability. Like I said in my OP at the top of this page, if TR had never become president, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Those of you !voting "Keep" might want to consider the fact that the only thing making her notable based on your reasoning is that she was briefly married to someone who became president long after she died. Because she died long before he was elected, that isn't notability for HER per Wikipedia standards, policy, or guidelines, it's notability for HIM. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:51, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:INHERITED is part of an essay. It says not to argue that an article should be kept because of passing associations to something else. WP:BIO#Invalid criteria is what you want, which says not to create bios just due to relationships. But it is trumped by WP:GNG. WP:1E does not apply -she is not known for any one 'event'. The basic criterion for notability is: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." She certainly passes that assessment, and absent WP:BLP issues (long dead), WP:V issues (sources check out), or any other policy issues, that basic guideline is all we need to pay heed to. Fences&Windows 07:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, GNG doesn't trump BIO here. GNG is simply a bare minimum needed for any type of article to meet notability. BIO is the specific notability critiera used for people, and she fails BIO regardless of GNG. Nothing notable outside of a relationship, and just about every reliable secondary source that discusses her really pertains more about her husband. We have specific notability criteria for a reason, so it should be put to use. Snuggums (talk / edits) 08:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • See WP:ONLYESSAY, Fences and windows. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 11:13, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • We follow WP:BASIC, a restatement of WP:GNG that notes exclusions. But no exclusions apply, as WP:1E is not relevant, no BLP concerns or other policy concerns arise, and the guidance on "Invalid criteria" 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)" [my emphasis]. Absent a policy reason or other reason to exclude this bio, the significant coverage of her life in multiple reliable sources meets our inclusion criteria. Fences&Windows 12:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • The problems with that are 1) she fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:BIOFAMILY, 2) The (reliable) sources are really more about Theodore than Alice herself. 1E also applies as her relationship with him is essentially the only thing she's noted for to begin with.

  • Keep - per the results of the first AFD discussion, especially if its true that there are seven paragraphs about her at the American National Biography. Regardless of the context or her actual role, or lack there of, in history, sources cover her in significant detail, and there's enough content to warrant a short article at least. Sergecross73 msg me 16:38, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • GNG isn't an automatic keep; it's simply the bare minimum requirements for any article. There are specific sets of notabikity criteria like WP:NMUSIC for music-related articles, WP:NFILM for movie-related articles, and WP:BIO for biographical articles. The specific criteria exists for a reason, and therefore should be applied as opposed to simply general criteria. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:50, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really don't know what else to say other than "No, your current understanding is incorrect". I mean, there's a reason why virtually all of these other standards have a paraphrased version of the WP:GNG as one of the clauses that satisfies the respective standard. WP:NALBUMS point #1, WP:NBAND point #1, WP:BASIC, which is the opening section for "Notabilty (people)", etc etc. Its because the GNG is the standard every subject must adhere to ultimately. (Again, outside things like WP:NOT or WP:BLP issues, which again, are not a factor in this one.) Sergecross73 msg me 02:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • 2 paragraphs above ANYBIO, the paragraph describing the various subsections of "Notability (people)", clearly states that failure to meet these other criteria (ANYBIO is part of this) is not conclusive proof for dismissing a subjects notability. (Because, you know, that's what the GNG is. Note the statement is not placed before BASIC. ) Sergecross73 msg me 03:20, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • My point is that notability requirements for certain articles like biographies are more nuanced than simply "must covered by reliable sources". BIOFAMILY (which applies here) states that people do not warrant articles for only being family members of notable people. Given how she's not noted for anything other than her relationship with TR, she isn't notable enough for her own article. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - because she is a part of American History as the wife of a former president, and because of that there is a public interest / need for information about her. Just because she died early doesn't make her not notable. HesioneHushabye (talk) 06:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Except she was never the wife of a former president. She was the wife of a NY State Assemblyman. How many articles are there for the non-notable wives of state assemblymen? The wives of state assemblymen who did nothing notable other than marrying a man from a wealthy family? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:31, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Notable enough for American National Biography notable for us. Most members of immediate families of US presidents easily pass GNG due to wide range of academic biographical publications of history and genealogy on them. That essay should have no place on super historical people, only modern celebrities like Heidi Montag or something. The argument about the sources mentioning Theodore when they mention her mean very little, imagine if someone on the level of Aristotle had a son and they won 1000 grammys or academy awards, the fact that he is Aristotle's son would be the primary thing brought up, such things happen with atrociously notable people, we can't avoid that and it shouldn't be a dis-qualifier. Atrociously notable people bring in so much coverage that it rubs off on immediate relatives, that's how it goes. GuzzyG (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I find it extremely funny if being in the national biography dictionary did not match our encyclopaedic mission. you completely missed the point on the family thing, the sources are there for her and considering the time frame of course they are going to mention her "more accomplished" husband, that's just how it went then. A non-notable relative is someone who has no sources but is the sister of someone with a page, someone who has multiple sources, half a book writen about her and in a national biography dictionary of arguably one of the top 5 biggest countries would blow the GNG out of the water... How many sources back then would there have been that have not survived? We can't expect a time magazine and a new york time interview like she is the new pop star or something, so being referenced in historical biographies are our go to. GuzzyG (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Raw number of sources that mention her notwithstanding, she has no independent notability because she's only noted for being TR's first wife (which isn't enough on its own for a separate article). Notability is not inherited; she must be noted for something on her own without family affiliations to meet the notability criteria for biographies. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well sourced article. We don't judge notability according to our opinion of a person's life. We judge notability according to the sources. Generations of mainstream historians, journalists, writers and curators have studied and written about this woman. Our job is to acknowledge that teh multiple, reliable sources covering her life make her qualify under WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:57, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This has nothing to do with opinion on her life or reliability of sources used; the main issue is she isn't noted for anything other than being Theodore Roosevelt's first wife. Notability is not inherited through relationships, and WP:BIOFAMILY states "Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person". Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regardless of the context, reliable sources and historians have covered her in detail, providing significant coverage. Her marriage may have sparked the initial interest, sure, but the article isn't just one sentence saying she married Teddie, sources have dug deeper to provide further information on her. As someone alluded to above, I think BIOFAMILY is more to keep us from having these ridiculous spin-out articles, like the siblings or offspring of Flavor Flav or something, of which has no coverage, no encyclopedic content, and don't inherit his notability. This is different. This person has been discussed in massive, national encyclopedias. Sergecross73 msg me 14:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you are right...her hair length, the color of her eyes, her beauty, her height, and her nickname are all quite well covered -- which certainly makes her short life encyclopedia material. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:21, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, the American National Biography wrote about that, and stretched that out to 7 paragraphs, eh? That's either impressive on their part, or a gross oversimplification on yours. Sergecross73 msg me 14:44, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tell you what Sergecross73: since you have access to this incredible encyclopedic biography of AHLR, how about you recreate those pages here for us to purview (or provide a link, if there is one), and we will decide for ourselves if it's 7 paragraphs of encyclopedic content, okay? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Lets be realistic - we're talking about an award winning, nationally published encyclopedia published by a major university and the American Council of Learned Societies. What do you think those paragraphs are going to be about? Her measurements and her likes and dislikes? Get real. No, I don't plan on shelling out money or taking a separate trip to a Library to research something that's on the verge of a WP:SNOW keep anyways... Sergecross73 msg me 15:05, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is how just about every reliable source mentioning her at all really focuses on her relationship with TR her death. Also, WP:BIOFAMILY applies to spouses as it does siblings or children. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:22, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My comment wasn't intended to express the idea that it mattered were it about spouses or siblings, I was merely providing what I felt was probably more of the type of thing the guideline is trying to prevent. Anyways, it doesn't really matter, as I stated above, direct quote from WP:BIO is People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. A person who fails to meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability. (That's the GNG.) WP:BIOFAMILY and like everything you've listed are all the criteria they're referring to here. It's literally backing up my stance of "Yeah, these criteria may help you figure out if they're notable, but the GNG is still the actual final word. Sergecross73 msg me 16:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, GNG isn't the "final word" when BIOFAMILY says that one must be noted for something other than family affiliations in order to be notable. The requirements of BIO provide nuance than simply "is significantly covered in reliable sources". Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:27, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The part I bolded in the last comment directly and literally shows that passing BIOFAMILY is not a requirement. Sergecross73 msg me 16:51, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep That the srticle survived one nomination and has improved itself with secondary sources only reinforces that the first decision to keep was the correct one. The objections on Teddy's talk page center on Notability is not inherited, yet the wikipage on the subject refers to the case of notability for his cousin's wife:
"Note, however, that this does not apply to situations where the fact of having a relationship to another person inherently defines a public position that is notable in its own right, such as a national First Lady or membership of a Royal house. For instance, being married to the Governor of Arkansas does not make the spouse notable, whereas being married to the President of the United States typically does."

Therefore, Alice is notable, she was married to POTUS, and further significance has been borne out by secondary sources, including Ken Burns' documentary on the Roosevelts that has come out since the first nomination. There are books about the wives of Teddy Roosevelt, which by its scope is not about the president. What NOTABILITY IS NOT INHERITED actually means is that Alice's relatives don't get to have their own article, because even if they are mentioned in TR's or ALR's bios and secondary sources, there is little notability that can be drawn about them from secondary sources. But Alice does, because she was the wife of an important man and affected the life of that man in a notable way, moreso than any wife of Henry VIII. MMetro (talk) 07:29, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This doesn't meet WP:Speedy keep criteria, and it's not like all the votes are "keep". Additionally, WP:Notability (people)#Invalid criteria says that being married to someone famous (even POTUS) is by itself not an indicator of notability. WP:NOTINHERITED applies to Alice as much as it does her relatives. She also is essentially a case of WP:BIO1E; the only defining thing about her is the TR relationship. One person affecting another's life is also not necessarily an indicator of notability. She would have to be noted for something outside of family affiliations to meet notability criteria for biographies. As for the Ken Burns documentary, it's not like that is exclusively focused on her. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:53, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She appears in sufficient sources. I'm sure she would be even more notable if she hadn't died in childbirth at age 24, but she was significant in the only role a woman would be allowed at that time. LaMona (talk) 23:20, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, calm down, pretty sure that's not what is being said there. I think the editor was just saying that women had less of a role in things back then. (Politics, history, etc.) I agree that that's largely irrelevant to whether or not the article should be kept, but the editor also made the claim that there are sufficient sources, which is relevant, so it's fine. Sergecross73 msg me 12:17, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I understand that simply being related to a notable person is not itself sufficient justification for a Wikipedia article. But if, in real life, that relationship generates enough interest for the person to be written about in sufficient depth in reliable sources, then that generates their own notability due to public interest. And there do seem to be plenty of good sources writing about her in some depth. Mr Potto (talk) 13:49, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Original research. Although it is clear that the facts of the case are drawn directly from the relevant case files and case law, the conclusions drawn in this article regarding the significance of this case, and the comparison of Indian and US copyright law, are original opinions of the article's author. In fact, they were actually stated as the author's opinions ("I am of the opinion...") but when the article was PRODed, the author (when not logged in) removed the "opinion" introduction, but left the remaining text unchanged; so it is clearly still the author's own opinion and synthesis.

  • If the objection to this article is that it is original research and an essay, the correct outcome is to transwiki it to our sister project Wikiversity, which accepts both. We are not allowed to delete material that is eligible for transwiki to a sister project before it has been transwikied. Alternatively, this could be rewritten, though this might involve stubifying it and completely rebuilding it from scratch. Either way, the text of the essay, and relevant page history, should be imported into Wikiversity. The case itself is notable under GNG (search for "Gramophone Company of India"/"... Co ..." + "Shanti Films") and under criteria 2 of CASES, as decisions of the High Court of Calcutta are binding: [27]. James500 (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see how that is compatible with the words "in perpetuity" in article 2 of the WMF bylaws. I assume that means that transwiki has to come before deletion, not after. I was under the impression we have to do as they say because they own this website. James500 (talk) 11:37, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • One must remember that the words preceding "in perpetuity" include the phrase "useful information". For Wikipedia purposes, we have clear definitions of what constitutes useful information, and original research is not included in that. Since there is nothing in Wikipedia policy that requires the transwiki policy, and since the Wikimedia Foundation has not sought to rewrite the policies based on this element of the bylaws, I don't think we need to WikiLawyer the process. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I further point out that Wikiversity also maintains verifiability and reliable sources policies, so while there might not be an explicit policy forbidding original research, such a ban is implicit in the existing policies. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @User:WikiDan61: The 'pages' you link to are red links. The Verifiability policy actually says that "material added to Wikiversity pages" which "has been produced by scholarly research performed at Wikiversity" does not need to cite reliable sources under any circumstances whatsoever. The reliable sources policy says that reliable sources are not required if it is not possible to cite them (as in the case of original research). The original research policy expressly allows original research in express words. It actually says "Original research which meets the guidelines of this policy is permitted on Wikiversity." (See also v:Wikiversity:Research and the research guidelines on the multilingual hub which apply to all language editions of Wikiversity, here). If you don't believe me, ask at the colloquium. I have spent more than enough time on Wikiversity to know exactly what is and is not allowed there. As for the WMF bylaws, original research is "useful information" if it is 'good quality' original research, that is to say, as long as, at the very least, for example, it isn't clearly wrong (such as claiming that the Moon is made of cheese). That is why it is allowed on Wikiversity, and why we have to send it there when we are confronted with it on this project. The utility of information has nothing to do with the nature of the project on which it is present. It is an intrinsic property of the information. "Useful" means what is useful from the point of view of the WMF, who also run Wikiversity, not what is useful from the point of view of the Wikipedia community, who are only one small part of the WMF's Wikimedia 'project' (and the different WMF sites are all one project).

  • Delete The refs are to single random statements, the article itself can be written well with proper references as it is indeed a landmark case in Indian copyright law.

  • Delete This is WP:OR. Wikipedia is an WP:ENC so has to come from published sources. AfD waits for nothing - if this is not trans-wiki'd before deletion then it can be undeleted, trans-wiki'd, and redeleted when someone requests it. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I updated the dead link; it now goes to the article on Newsweek.com. I don't think it was popularly called "Vinh Xuan massacre" - I think also found some hits about it in Google Books (based on the search results), but unfortunately none of them had previews of the actual page. I'm wondering if, because it involved the South Koreans and Vietnamese and not the Americans, and this was apparently not an isolated incident, it has not been widely covered in the western press. —МандичкаYO 😜 11:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for finding a link, but one article written 33 years after the supposed event based on the account of a single Vietnamese villager cannot be regarded as WP:RS Mztourist (talk) 11:34, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oy. First, Newsweek, as a respected magazine, has fact checkers. They wrote about what happened to him, but no way would they publish that without verifying it without experts. Printing this article based on this one guy's story alone would be incredibly stupid and would defy all basic tenets of professional journalism. They would have at minimum one fact checker who verifies names, locations, dates, etc., and probably two for this type of story because of the history of atrocity propaganda. If that had turned out to be a hoax or stories from a delusional person, it would be a notorious goof like other cases and would have possibly destroyed careers (ie Sabrina Erdely). It's pretty obvious that English-language sources are going to be limited. The article has some clues to other sources - the Korean student whose investigation exposed the massacres, the Korean documentary in which former soldiers admitted to massacring civilians, and the human rights organizations demanding both governments stop covering it up. That it happened 33 years earlier is totally and completely irrelevant when you think about the context - governments have significant motivation to keep information secret. (The U.S. government refuses to declassify thousands of documents related to the Kennedy assassination and the Cold War.) Additionally there is no indication at all that "Vinh Xuan Massacre" is a WP:CommonName for this incident - I'm guessing that was just a title chosen by the article creator recently, because every reference I found with the English phrase "vinh xuan massacre" comes from the WP article. I'm going to see if I can get find some Korean sources - I hate to see an article deleted as unreferenced without due diligence. —МандичкаYO 😜 00:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • The Vietnamese invent a lot of stuff about the war, I have been involved in the deletion of several articles about battles in the Vietnam War which were based on solely Vietbnamese sources and written 30+ years after the supposed battles took place. The article really says it all when it states: "Koo Soo Jung, who is pursuing a history degree at Ho Chi Minh University in Vietnam. Koo has spent nearly three years gathering government documents, many based on eyewitness accounts, from Vietnamese war museums" If the only sources she is relying on are Vietnamese then she is just repeating Vietnamese propaganda/POV which hasn't changed since the war. They invent battles and massacres that never happened and massively inflate casualty figures when it suits them. Newsweek isn't perfect and I seriously doubt they would have fact-checked to the extent that you believe. The article states "NEWSWEEK has found several villages like Thoi's, where witnesses readily recall South Korean horrors", witness reports 30+ years after the supposed events without any secondary sources is not WP:RS. The fact that the first account occurs 33 years after the supposed event is relevant because news of this would have leaked earlier particularly given the investigation of the My Lai Massacre. Compare and contrast this to the Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre which was documented at the time. If you can find WP:RS for this event then obviously it should stay, otherwise it must be deleted as being based on non WP:RS or even WP:HOAX Mztourist (talk) 03:15, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not the Guardian (which is normally a RS) would be usable in this article as a RS is questionable since they're the topic of the book, but I did find a journal article that references the book review so I've added that to the article. I also need to note that the book was used as a reference in this article that was posted in the journal Media History. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - It must be pointed out that The Guardian commissioned the book "to justify itself", so any review (e.g. #9) coming in anyway from the The Guardian is worthless. Five other refs are not possible to verify without a subscription. Ref #1 is more a discussion about The Guardian than the book it commissioned. Ref #2 appears to be about the fact that The Guardian commissioned the book about itself. #5 is about The Guardian which uses the book commissioned by The Guardian as a discussion point. One subscription item does state that it is a review of the book, so assuming that one of the other subscription refs is a review, the book passes WP:NBOOK. However, I'm not going to assume that.

  • Changing my position from Delete to Merge to The Guardian given that it is a bought and paid for Guardian publication. VMS Mosaic (talk) 08:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • However at the same time, there are still multiple reviews for this work. I'd initially left the Guardian review in the article because it was interesting, but what made me really highlight the review is that this was covered in an academic journal, Jewish Political Studies Review. This is also relatively frequently cited in various books as a source, which also somewhat counts towards notability. The second source (the book) was more listed to back up the fact that the Guardian commissioned the book. However this source does mention Baram's work quite extensively. It's going to be very, very difficult to find an article of any type that would completely separate the book from the newspaper. There are multiple portions of the article that go into some depth about the book, including this statement: "Baram, a lawyer who is on the far left of Israeli politics, illuminates these issues and produces a picture of a Guardian much more complex than the anti-Jewish monolith of current communal discourse." Also, reference 5 is a book review, labeled as such by the newspaper itself (The Economist). Like I said above, you're going to be very, very hard pressed to find a book that does not talk about the Guardian since discussing the paper will be necessary to actually talk about the book. As for which items are reviews, the Jerusalem Post one is a review (reviews are either labeled as such or will have the book's name and publishing info at the start of the review), as is the New Statesman. I think what you're trying to do here is make several WP:POINTy nominations in order to make NBOOK harder to pass and weaken newspapers as a reliable source, however you will not be able to really do this via AfD. Policy changes of this nature need to be discussed on the applicable pages (WP:NBOOK, WP:RS, WP:RS/N) rather than at AfD. Right now this book passes the notability guidelines for books and newspapers are still considered to be reliable sources. It's extremely rare that an AfD will be the sole reason that a policy changes. I really only know of one AfD that created a new policy and that's the America Deceived AfD- an AfD for a book that failed notability guidelines so hard that even Wikipedia editors from 2006 agreed it was non-notable. This is during a point in time where notability was pretty much based on whether or not something existed. Even then the changes still had to go through the required steps to be considered official and it still required that a large portion of editors participate in the discussion and vote for the changes. (You can see the general debates here.) If you want to make the guidelines stricter then you need to start with a discussion in the right places. AfD is not the correct place for this, not when these guidelines are considered to be pretty standard and solid. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:30, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - (Creator) Unfortunately, this appears to be yet another clearly vexatious nomination. Per WP:BEFORE, before nominating an article for deletion an editor is required to 'Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability' which does not seem to have taken place. Thanks to Tokyogirl79 for adding the sources, however I would like to indicate to the nominator that the article was clearly notable before the reviews were added. AusLondonder (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
By any real sense of the word notable, this book is most definitely not notable. The problem is that Wikipedia book notability is absurdly easy to meet. For example, ref #2 added by Tokyogirl79 is the only review I can find by that reviewer. The review does not appear to have been in the print edition. Of the ~23 recent reviewers at the paper, only one or two had more than one review published on the web site. In other words, the review is on a web site that will publish pretty much any coherent submission. Many, if not most, of the reviews on the articles I AfDed are about the same as #2 here. Unfortunately, these reviews technically meet WP:NBOOK, which is why this article will end up being kept. To get your book on Wikipedia, all you have to do is get two friends (or do it yourself by using false names) to submit reviews to the web sites of numerous small to mid size newspapers until each gets accepted. So no, the nominations were not vexatious, but simply an attempt to keep little know/read books from cluttering up Wikipedia. VMS Mosaic (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's the Sydney Morning Herald, so it's a reliable source regardless of whether it was in print or only on their website. Again, newspapers are reliable sources and it's really, REALLY not that easy to get reviews published in a newspaper. Most papers are pretty exclusive in who and what they will have published, regardless of whether it's print or electronic. Even if the person only wrote one review, that review is still usable as a reliable source if the newspaper published the article in any format. I know that you dislike newspaper sources (to the point where it appears to be a strong bias) and you might mean well, but right now newspapers are considered reliable sources for articles. If you want that to be changed, you need to bring this up at WP:RS or WP:RS/N. If this was say, The Patch, then I'd be inclined to agree with you on that but the SMH is the oldest newspaper in Australia and has a very high distribution rate. I hate to say this, but your argument against many of the book AfDs you've participated in essentially boils down to "I don't like newspapers"- despite the fact that newspapers are considered a very strong reliable source on Wikipedia. You're not going to change policy based on these AfDs, so any WP:POINT you're trying to make with these AfDs is likely going to be seen as disruptive. If you want these articles deleted you're going to have to change policy first- and that's going to take a very, very long time and need some extremely persuasive arguments since you're arguing that some very notable and established newspapers should be considered unreliable/unusable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:58, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • A circulation of 132,000 is a very high distribution rate? Space in a print edition has a high cost. Space on a web site is all but zero cost (even just a couple clicks on it will more than pay the cost). The "Undercover" reviews are basically nothing more than entries on the paper's "Undercover" editor's blog. The "Undercover" blog actually calls itself a blog. She alone decides what reviews are put on her "Undercover" blog. It's nothing more than a technicality (i.e., the web site the blog is on is owned by a newspaper) that makes it a valid ref. My problem is not with newspaper print editions; it is with the blogs of individual newspaper editors being regarded the same as actual newspaper content. Given that there is zero chance of making any significant change to WP:NBOOK, I'm not foolish enough to tilt at windmills. Frankly, you have utterly misunderstood where I am coming from, and completely fail to understand how simple it is to get on somebody's blog. My issue is not with newspapers, but with blog postings on web sites being confused with actual newspaper content. VMS Mosaic (talk) 06:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If a review is published through a newspaper then it's considered a reliable source. A review from the Sydney Morning Herald is not the same as say, a book review from Katie's Book Blog or a random review on Goodreads or Amazon. While a review of any sort is ultimately an opinion, a newspaper review undergoes much stricter criteria than a self-published source. It must go through an editorial staff for factchecking/accuracy claims and the reviewer needs to take more than their own viewpoint into consideration. The newspaper will also be more selective in who they allow to write a review. For example, despite claims that anyone could get a review published in a newspaper, odds are extremely high that if you were to try to submit a review you would more than likely be declined. If it were that easy to get work published then there's be far, far more freelancers out there writing book reviews and articles and fewer people trying to put stuff in blogs, wikis, and the like.

  • Also, the circulation numbers you're citing does not include the Saturday edition (228,000) or the Sunday edition (264,434). It's no New York Times, but that's nothing to sniff at. And again, a newspaper is not the same thing as a self-published source. The average newspaper is fairly discerning in who and what they publish, even on their websites. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:00, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since what you're trying to assert goes against the currently established policy, I'll bring this up for you at WP:NBOOK and WP:RS. If you want to change policy you need to start there, not here. If the policies are changed then you can come back and re-nominate these articles, assuming that the consensus here is to keep- which is likely. If you are not going to try to change policy then there's really no point to any of this. A newspaper website is not the same thing as a blog. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:04, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll bring this up at RS/N first, actually. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:15, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are saying that a self admitted blog is not a self admitted blog if it has any thing at all to do with a newspaper. I am okay with that, I guess, if that is literally how WP:NBOOK defines what is or is not a blog. Hey, it would not be by very far the worst interpretation of a WP policy that I have dealt with. If insanity it is, then insanity it shall be. Note that I had already consented to a speedy close on this prior to the start of this thread; I show WP:FAITH and get none in return. Par for the course. VMS Mosaic (talk) 11:00, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:VMS Mosaic - The article in The Times of London is by David Aaronovitch a very well-known journalist, commentator and columnist in the UK. The book received significant coverage in the media. It just is not true to say this book is not notable, regardless of your ludicrous conspiracy theories about submitting false reviews. Have you got a print copy of every edition of the Sydney Morning Herald from around that time to prove it was not in the paper? Why don't you submit a review to The Guardian and see if they post it online? To suggest this book is 'little known/read' borders on the laughable. AusLondonder (talk) 16:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I've been going to Glastonbury for 12 years now and I find this page very interesting. Invaluable, you could say, when trying to remember previous festivals. I don't know how to edit Wikipedia but I did look at The Banner's user profile page here and it's clear that he's on a crusade to rid Wikipedia of what he considers to be promotional pages. This page, to anybody that knows the festival or has attended in previous years (millions of people) is clearly not promotional in any way. Thank you to whoever created this page and went to the effort of collecting together previous years listings.

Doesn't meet WP:NASTRO or WP:GNG, but as a low-numbered asteroid, consensus is that it is well-discussed rather than redirected unilaterally. I think it should be deleted; or (preferably) redirected to List of minor planets: 1001–2000 per NASTRO's guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 08:46, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Close (and the others with this rationale). AfD is not the place for proposing redirections. WP:RFD is the appropriate venue. I see WP:NASTRO says "Asteroids numbered below 2000 should be discussed before re-directing" so maybe either RfD or the talk pages would be appropriate. Deletion is a last resort and should not be done unless all else fails. Thincat (talk) 16:07, 12 May 2015 (UTC) I have struck parts of my comment now David Eppstein has helpfully corrected me. Thincat (talk) 17:13, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Incorrect. RFD is for discussing whether to delete a redirect. We are discussing deleting the content of an article, and (most likely) replacing it with a redirect. Previous participants have objected to bold redirects, and mass discussions, so we have to discuss them individually and AfD is an appropriate process to do so. I would welcome some tighter limits on the rate of creating new discussions of this type (I think the numbers we've been seeing are too high to easily keep up with all the discussions) but I think we need to have these discussions. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment David Eppstein, I've been sticking to around 10 a day per another editor's suggestion; if you think that's still too high, please let me know. I understand how it can be seen as difficut to keep up at the moment. Boleyn (talk) 18:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh, yes, I was not familiar enough with RFD. However, AFD is not the right place either. See WP:AFD "For problems that do not require deletion, including duplicate articles, articles needing improvement, pages needing redirects, or POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately." These nominations accept that deletion is not required. So, I suppose the talk pages or the WikiProject would be most appropriate discussion forum. Although redirect can be a perfectly good outcome at AFD it should not be used for proposing redirection. Thincat (talk) 16:56, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thincat, the nomination is for delete or redirect. Many discussions have gone on over years (this has been tagged for notability for over 3 years) at Wikiproject going round and round in circles; AfD is the best venue as it stands. Boleyn (talk) 18:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am not at all unsympathetic. These articles should never have been created in the way they were in the first place. For people who are not wanting to do a redirection themselves, or who have been asked not to, WP does not seem to me to have any "central" venue for discussing things. I think WikiProject Astronomical objects should be able to sort things out with you in a way that does not involve asking the whole community to consider a large number of questions about which almost everyone won't have the faintest clue about an answer. Thincat (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A mini-project or task force would be the proper way to clear out 95% of the main belt asteroid stubs created. Unfortunately, the criteria being used by even the good faith editors is arbitrary. If an asteroid was part of a small study by a nobody it is considered notable. But if that object is one of the largest of its type (say one of the largest 20 of its kind), and is part of a larger group study it is dumped with the bath water. The harm being done here is larger asteroids are being re-directly as easily as small non-notable ones. -- Kheider (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Much as WP:NASTRO is merely a guideline and should not be used to remove borderline asteroids and commit needless genocide. The problem was created by bots and should not be over corrected. -- Kheider (talk) 11:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I compared re-directing 15,000 bot-created asteroid stubs to genocide. Apparently, you took a strong offense to my usage and started attacking me on several pages. -- Kheider (talk)
Armenian Genocide is genocide. The Holocaust was genocide. Genocides_in_history is a nice long list of real genocides. Genocide "is the systematic destruction of all or a significant part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group." And you're comparing the nomination of articles with questionable notability (completely within policy by WP:AFD) to systematic mass murder of a group of people? You seriously don't see a problem with that?

"entrepreneur, speaker, television host, and author " No evidence at all for notability as entrepreneur, speaker, or TV host.

  • Strong keep (Creator) Received significant coverage in the UK and overseas. Meets WP:GNG. I feel many editors are misinterpreting WP:NOTNEWS, which states'For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia.' This is nothing of the sort, and was a noteworthy protest. WP:NOTNEWS makes crystal clear 'As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events'. I also have a hunch that if this protest had occurred in the United States there would be no dispute about keeping the article AusLondonder (talk) 08:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it has nothing to with it being in the UK. It says in WP:NOTNEWS that not all events are suitable for articles. More specific info is at Wikipedia:Notability (events) which says the the same but also: "However, it is also not an indiscriminate collection of information or a news service. Wikinews offers a place where editors can document current news events, but not every incident that gains media coverage will have or should have a Wikipedia article. A rule of thumb for creating a Wikipedia article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance." I just don't see how it has had any lasting or historical significance. If you can find some coverage that confirm that is has been of historical significance, I'll be happy to change to keep. —МандичкаYO 😜 09:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of a uneeded DAB page-only one person while the other page is a link to a Russian wiki Wgolf (talk) 03:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)WithdrawnWgolf (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not very good at the policies of creation of disambiguation pages in en-wiki — I am more familiar with ru-wiki where such pages are allowed. So, if you decide that it should not exist in such form, it would be OK with me. The only argument is that an en-wiki article about Boris Arbuzov-chemist is highly desirable — he was a renowned chemist, academician of the Academy of Sciences of USSR, so eventually it will be created, and, therefore, you would need to re-create this disambiguation page. Formally, in terms of the "rank", Arbuzov-chemist is higher than Arbuzov-physicist; because of this, redirecting "Boris Arbuzov" → "Boris Arbuzov (physicist)" might not be a very good choice. — Adavyd (talk) 03:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - is this page up for deletion because there are only two names on it, and can just be directed toward the other by hatnote? Or because one of them is redlinked? In my view, redlinks are invitations to start an article, not an indication of low notability. I'm happy to make a page for the chemist. He's perfectly deserving. —МандичкаYO 😜 04:57, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As it was, it wasn't a valid dab. On en wiki, we only allow links to en wiki on disambiguation pages. Redlinks are fine, but need to meet MOS:DABRL or MOS:DABMENTION, and this didn't. Therefore, the blue link could have been moved to the primary page. However, I felt that was a shame when we were aware that there was another notable scientist of this name and created an article. Not my area and I don't read Russian, so if anyone could help improve it, that would be great. It is now a valid dab with two valid entries. Boleyn (talk) 08:33, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Second division team captain, but does not meet WP:NFOOTY or WP:GNG. League is not fully professional and has only played for international youth teams. References are routine mentions. Decided against a PROD in case it gets deleted before someone can find additional info out there. Fuebaey (talk) 16:13, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Player has NOT only played for international youth teams - check again. Clearly passes WP:GNG. Only three women's leagues (all in US) are included in WP:NFOOTY and list is perpetually "incomplete". Article could use expansion, not deletion. Here are some additional potential citations as a start: 1 2, 3 Hmlarson (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unless I'm mistaken, non-senior international appearances are not eligible for WP:NFOOTY #1. She doesn't meet #2 because neither club leagues she's played in, for Arsenal (WPL/WSL) and Reading (WSL2), are fully professional (see bottom of the FPL list). I was unable to find any other non-routine sources (i.e. not stat pages or match reports) for WP:GNG, hence the !PROD. I was hoping someone could find something tangible, maybe on her captaincy, but that doesn't seem to have materialised. Unless you consider Google Search results as actual reliable references, I'm not sure how that supports your comment on notability. Fuebaey (talk) 04:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. as I mentioned WP:GNG is applicable. WP:NFOOTY is pretty much irrelevant to women's football/soccer leagues. Article could use improvement not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Basically this can be summed up as 'This show presents a special edition where we'll award whichever acts you stuffed the ballot with the most', but we don't even know the methodology of the voting or how long the awards ceremony is, and the claimed "#WAMVA" hastag on Twitter pretty much has been only pushed by the show themselves, so without popularity or any voting metrics, there's no way to determine this show's true notability.

Unfortunately, neither "Brian Hill" nor "Brainhell" appears to have received the sort of coverage required for an article. One article about one, one article about the other, but I found no reliable, independent sources besides those. In addition, no reliable source has publicly connected "Brian Hill" and "Brainhell". It is not the job of Wikipedia to connect the two. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kronos: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis

[edit]
Kronos: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This WP:FRINGE journal published a number of papers related to Immanuel Velikovsky and has only been mentioned in sources that are devoted to them (thus not independent as we would require). The single reliable source used in the article is Donald Goldsmith's Scientists Confront Velikovsky, but the mention in that book of this particular fringe journal is off-handed and doesn't speak to the question of notability that we would generally like to see. Moreover, there does not seem to be much in the way of discussion of this subject as a subject in the books and papers that are written about the notable subject from which it sprung: the Velikovsky affair. Henry H. Bauer's book on the the Velikovsky Affair, which does mention this fringe journal, should be considered with a severe grain of salt considering his WP:FRINGE status. I am hesitant to use him as evidence for notability. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Talbott (4th nomination). jps (talk) 11:52, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The journal is discussed in some reliable, non-fringe sources: see this book, for example. I'm open to being convinced otherwise but to me that suggests that it's notable, even if it is FRINGE. Fyddlestix (talk) 15:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gordon's book is excellent, but this is the only mention of the fringe journal in the book, and, as far as I know, that's it as far as independent sources go. I would consider this a trivial mention. If that is the sum total of the sources we have on this topic that are reliable, it's frankly not possible to write a decent article on the subject. jps (talk) 18:14, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon moi, but when Gordin's book is searched simply for "Kronos," 16 mentions are shown, considerably more prominent than supposed by jps. The journal is notable for the number of mainstream scholars/scientists who contributed to the discussions, such as Richard Parker in Egyptology and David Morrison in astronomy; but its incorporation in the entry would constitute OR. Phaedrus7 (talk) 21:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Stubify -- This was potentially a significant journal, though I have never seen it and it may be concerned with FRINGE issues. Nevertheless, even if it was only concerend with FRINGE views, it might be significant in convering them. A subscription of 1500 is quite respectible for an academic journal. The problem is that the article is currently almost entirely about criticism of Velikovsky and is being used as a COATHANGER for that, but this merely concerns a couple of articles in early issues. It is often difficult to find independent sources about a journal, so that I am not concerned about that. I tried a google scholar search, but I am getting so many false positives that this is little help. Kronos appears also be a software programme and "Kronos: Journal of Cape History". I would like to see us cut this down to what this narticle says about the jounral, with a couple of sentences on its discussion of Velikovshy. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:21, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with some trimming. Not sure it needs to be totally stubified, but in general I agree with Peterkingiron here - even if the journal's content was FRINGE, it is still notable. If nothing else, it's of significant historical interest. Fyddlestix (talk) 01:36, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep noting that Henry Bauer's coverage of the subject in his Beyond Velikovsky is very much of RS quality by virtue of its being published by University of Illinois Press and the large number of very favorable reviews in prestigious scientific journals including Science and Nature. Just because Bauer holds unorthodox views on other subjects does not automatically condemn his reporting on Kronos as FRINGE. As an example of the nefarious tactics used in Wikipedia to denigrate Bauer, one editor once accused this chemistry professor with a PhD in Chemistry of never having performed any scientific research, which is required as preparation for the degree's dissertation, in an attack on Bauer's published criticism of HIV/AIDS research.

Delete: non-notable actress, mostly consigned to guest roles on reality and game shows. Quis separabit? 23:41, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All but one of the above are gossip tabloids, describing the love life and rumours thereof, of Ms. Asistio (one is in Tagalog but I can tell by the reference to "Derek" that it is in this category); the other details how the thespian "recently took up her first project as a Kapamilya contract artist." Quis separabit? 00:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is true. However, I refer you to WP:NOTABLE and WP:NACTOR. Particularly for the latter, we have "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." as a qualification of notability. Ms Asistio's popularity in the gossip tabloids shows her popularity, and establishes notability. I'm no fan of gossip tabloids myself, but am attempting to objectively apply Wikipedia's guidelines. In WP:BASIC, we have "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]

If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.". The sum total of multiple sources IMHO satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and hence the article should not be deleted. Ross-c (talk) 05:52, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Of all the sources in the article or mentioned above, only ABS-CBN provides more than trivial coverage. It's about her moving to ABS-CBN however, so it is not an independent source and does not count towards notability - they have a vested interest in publicizing her. The purpose of the significant coverage criteria is to ensure that enough reliable third-party material exists to write a full and balanced biography. Adding up all the other passing mentions of her does not, in my judgement, yield significant coverage, so the subject does not meet WP:BASIC. Worldbruce (talk) 23:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have not read reliable sources as almost all sources in the article are not reliable as per Wikipedia standards. All the references in the article are either social media type pages or simple listing pages. One of the references only leads to a search engine. We generally require that the media or scholars have written about the subject before we consider it notable.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 12:11, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for bearing with me as I am a newcomer. Sylvester Rivers is mentioned several times in existing Wikipedia articles and several Sylvester Rivers works have their own separate Wikipedia articles. Knowing that Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a source for itself, I referenced original sources that were already accepted by Wikipedia, thinking that was safe. The main source used for both credits and chart positions was allmusic.com, which is one of the most commonly used and authoritative sources for articles on people in the recording industry and a recognized source by the U.S. Library of Congress. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the American organization that certifies Gold and Platinum sales and is therefore the most reliable authority on the subject. The RIAA link referenced was used to verify claims of Gold or Platinum status and should have linked directly to the song in question, not the search main page. This can be corrected. Billboard.com, which was referenced, is considered the recording industry bible in charting and the New York Times was referenced, as well. Discogs.com is considered an industry authority and the largest online database of electronic music releases, and of releases on vinyl media. None of the references were to social media. I read reliable sources and Wikipedia:Notability (music) and the article seems to conform, e.g., there are many Gold records that can be verified, but I may have missed something. I am the subject of the article and new to Wikipedia. Any help would be much appreciated. Riversco (talk) 06:55, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
all of those links you have supplied only serve to prove that you have some credits, nothing you have linked talks about YOU which what we need to have an article meet inclusion criteria. We need published media coverage on you as a person, not just a list of your works. The New York Times listing is just that a listing it does nothing towards the WP:GNG threshold.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 12:52, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again, Mcmatter, for your help. In response to your comments, I added published book references to the article. Also, Sylvester Rivers is the composer and co-writer of the title song of the Michael Henderson album, “In the Night Time,” certified Gold by the RIAA and in the top 10 in two of the Billboard Charts plus in the top 40 in two other Billboard Charts. This should conform to the WP:NMUSIC notable composition guidelines for composers and lyricists. Again, thanks for bearing with me, the new fellow. Riversco (talk) 08:40, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm surprised that no one has mentioned conflict of interest since the subject of the article is the one editing it, and that user only came onto WP on April 26, presumably in response to the AfD. User also has solicited help [47], which in itself isn't necessarily bad but does increase the conflict of interest appearance. LaMona (talk) 22:06, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply Conflict of interest is of no concern in this discussion, which should center on WP:Notability. I applaud the editors who did not bring up this matter but who attempted to instruct this new editor. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:28, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another Zapata founder/Friend Of A Bush, but he seems to be a pretty minor player. It's possible that he is being confused with his brother J. Hugh Liedtke, who has significant notability as a major oil executive. Mangoe (talk) 18:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article needs work, but both brothers were notable in their own right as oil men. The NYT obituary states "co-founded the Pennzoil Company and helped turn it into one of the nation's largest oil companies". Also had blurb in news related to Watergate scandal. As a friend and oil associate of H.W. Bush, article needs to be monitored for Big Oil conspiracy theories. - Location (talk) 19:11, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Not sure why I !voted Keep and not really sure how I came to post those sources as they're piss poor!, I can't find anything to suggest notability, Sure she's been in a few movies but it's the notability we're judging here not how many movies she's in/been in. –Davey2010Talk 20:44, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The one reference on this article is a blog post on an individual's blog, so it really should be removed. The gmanetwork links appear to be promotional by the TV company.

  • Keep, barely. Right now she's one of GMA Network's bigger artists (which isn't saying much: GMA Network has been struggling in recent years, and generally the fame of their artists is a lot less than those of its main rival ABS-CBN; the only reason I know Garcia is because I do research on that network), and it shows through this search which shows coverage from independent sources such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer. She's also been the lead or otherwise had a major role in several GMA shows, which would also be enough to establish notability. She's only 16? Younger than me? Wow. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let the Love Begin (TV series), of which she's the lead actress, is now airing on its 1st week, so this certainly puts her over the threshold, even though, let's say all of the references are associated with GMA. –HTD 20:02, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable associate head coach at a community college. No significant media coverage, no head coaching experience. Fails WP:BIO, WP:GNG, and WP:NSPORTS. —C.Fred (talk) 01:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, Clark college is a community college- I assumed by college they meant proper college (e.g. university in UK). Definitely not notable then.

I have tagged this as a likely hoax but have not nominated this for speedy deletion because there is an IMDb page of this person--though with a bio written by a user of the same name as the one who started this page. Otherwise, most that appears in this article is incredible. It has him debuting with a single at age 9 and having a platinum hit at age 13. It lists some 12 ethnicities, and other facts that stretch the realm of possibility. I can find no record in Japanese of him or his record career (the song that's cited is just Rick Astley's "Never Going to Give You Up"). All that appears in English is the suspect IMDb page and other mostly user generated pages. There are pictures on the net that seem to be of the same person, but again no record of these supposed achievements. What seems to be his Tumblr page [57] says nothing about his Japanese career. Even if this is not a hoax, I don't think there is enough to pass WP:GNG. I'd like other opinions on this. Michitaro (talk) 00:28, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I couldn't find anything out there except social media and ads for wedding music services. And everything in the article is either a dead link or a non-reliable source. The ones that are not don't even mention the subject at all. Coupled with the very fancruft promotional language and the fact that this is very essentially an unsourced BLP in the end, I'd say delete. We can't have a bio where we're not even sure if the person exists, nevermind meeting WP:MUSICBIO at least. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 06:53, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
