This article shold be deleted I think this article should be deleted. Choi Young-jae is a singer in Got7 boy group. Although he debuted in 2014, there aren't much albums that he recorded. And he is not a famous person in Korea. So I couldn't find much material about him.Choi Hyun Hee (talk) 12:53, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and protect to band or simply delete whichever is best as there's nothing to suggest a separate article. SwisterTwister talk 06:12, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
'Redirect to Got7 as a plausible search term. Subject is not notable outside of the group. I also suggest fully protecting the page to prevent the content from being restored. K-pop fans usually don't let redirects like this sit for very long. — ξ ^xplicit 06:20, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relocation Journal

Florence Devouard

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

Failure to meet the General Notability Guideline. This biography came up in a Wikipediocracy thread as an "inside baseball" type BLP of a former chair of the WMF Trustees which is not supported or supportable by substantial coverage in multiple, independently-published sources of presumed reliability. After a glance at the first 100 or so responses in a Google search, I tend to agree with this assessment. No strong feelings here, I leave the matter of decision to the community — I just don't want to be accused of looking the other way on a WP insider's bio. Carrite (talk) 22:42, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She appears in numerous books in her role as Foundation head and was knighted by the French government for this. She therefore passes WP:PROF. Andrew D. (talk) 09:57, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's so cruel. He's lovely. And he likes to keep things. Your a hayter and you make me cry. Begoon ^talk 15:10, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - HERE is the link for Lih's book, which counts as 1 towards GNG for my money. I see that she was interviewed for the book Connective Branding by Claudia Fisher and Christine Vallaster, but that strikes me as mere passing mention. What else is out there? Carrite (talk) 12:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lih's book is not enough for me, and would be a very poor test. Per nom and navel gazing. I don't see much difference in deleting this now, or in a year's time, voting to salt "Tim from Davenport" or wherever. But per Tim from Davenport in this earth shaking vote. Ceoil (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing Nomination — Speedy Keep — SNG for "All Biographies" No. 1 indicates a keep based on: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." Her biography on French Wikipedia points to THIS which indicates that on May 16, 2008, Ms. Devouard was awarded the national award "Chevalier of the Ordre national du Mérite," which would seem to suffice... "Mme Devouard, née Nibart (Florence, Jacqueline, Sylvie), présidente d'une fondation mondiale ; 15 ans d'activités professionnelles." is the official wording. So while the keep argument based on GNG is very, very borderline, this is actually a fairly definite SNG Keep. Carrite (talk) 15:35, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I see the same document is already in the English footnotes, too, as fn 9. My bad. Carrite (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Navel gazing. Inside baseball. No notability outside wikipedia. Begoon ^talk 15:04, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Leave it up to Florence, as we did for Kevin. We extend this favour to Wikipedians with marginal notability. (Not marginally notable non-Wikipedians, though. We take care of our own.) --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 00:02, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, what? If she is notable, then she is notable. Giving a "Wikipedian" special favors when it comes to notability and not others speaks wonders for the "integrity" of Wikipedia. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:07, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I take the opposite view. If the subject is marginally notable (whether or not they're a Wikipedia insider) we should take into account their feelings on the matter. But yes, we should be consistent. If we extend this courtesy to insiders, we should treat non-Wikipedians with the same level of respect. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 00:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I see no reason "not" to take the opinion into consideration, but I do not feel that they get to decide their own inclusion, especially when they are a Wikipedian. This is only going to cause negativity for Wikipedia which already comes under fire for its editing issues. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:23, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's a really horrible idea to let WP content (or lack thereof) be controlled by the subjects themselves. There should be a brick wall between the whims of subjects and the actual content of the encyclopedia. Anthony and I have disagreed on this vehemently for a long time and will continue to disagree vehemently on this. We are not here for "courtesy content for marginally notable people." Notable is notable. Non-notable is non-notable. Now somebody needs to shut this sucker down, the nomination is withdrawn. Carrite (talk) 07:04, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:PROF#C3 (named chairs as above) and #C1 (highly cited publications as listed in Google scholar [3]). He's also a winner of the PNAS Cozzarelli Prize but I don't think that's significant enough for notability by itself. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kim Bong-han

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

Three months ago an AfD was closed as no consensus with a comment that there are very serious issues with this article that need to be addressed or another AfD is warranted. Here is the difference between the article at close of that AfD and how it stands today: [4].

I think the issues have not been resolved because they are not resolvable. There are basically no mainstream sources. As a North Korean, everything emanating from sources in that country is inevitably tainted.And sources outside of North Korea are - well, absent. There are a few sources which are essentially namechecks in discussing a purported new vascular system discovered by him, but this has zero mainstream acceptance and is also effectively ignored other than by North Koreans, hence the article was deleted. There is no reality-based commentary on which to base a WP:MEDRS compliant article on the "primo-vascular system" or "bonghan ducts", and there are no independent reliable biographical sources on which to base an article on Bong-Han either.

The article appears to be kept on the basis that the promo vascular system might be borderline notable, but we don't have an article on it, so the borderline content has to go somewhere, and this is somewhere. That's the politician's syllogism, of course. There's no reaosn not to write a new reality-based article on that subject if sources exist, but this article is not supposed to be an end-run around policy on that. Guy (Help!) 21:14, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep AfD's need to be based on reasons set in the deletion policy. (WP:AFD → WP:DEL-REASON) From your nomination, it isn't clear what the "unresolvable" deletion-specific problem: is it notability? That's what we usually talk about when we talk about AfD.

To say that sources outside North Korea are "absent" strikes me as odd; I get some 60 sources on Google Books in many languages. Note that sources don't have to be "mainstream"; or, as you say, reliable medical sources in a biography. No sources that are currently used have been tagged as unreliable, self-published or primary, so they are both okay for being used as references and support notability. It doesn't matter if a theory is "accepted" by no one; we have an article on Ptolemy despite virtually no one thinking that the Earth is the center of the universe. Dubious theories have their merit in historical and cultural contexts and, without repeating at length arguments in the previous discussion, there seems to be a heavy regional significance (WP:WORLDVIEW). 22:05, 2 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finnusertop (talk • contribs)

There are sources by Korean authors (who are not dependable for well documented reasons), and sources by nutters, but no reality-based sources about Bong-Ha that I can find. Feel free to cite them. Guy (Help!). Warning: comments may contain traces of sarcasm. 22:14, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go, I linked them directly to the pages within the book [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].--CNMall41 (talk) 00:20, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While it is nice to see someone citing logic, we must also recognize that AfD is not an "end around" for WP:FIXIT either. Just because someone has not taken the time to address the article issues does not mean that it deserves to be deleted. Afd is NOT cleanup. Checking sources in Google Books, there are plenty of references and discuss him and his work [13]. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:12, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nor do we indefinitely keep an article that fails policy, as noted in the last close, but nobody can be arsed to fix. Pepole want to keep the article but not fix it. Well, I tried to fix it - and found no credible sources to allow that. Which was also noted in the previous AfD. Guy (Help!). Warning: comments may contain traces of sarcasm. 22:14, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So would you delete an article because it lacks inline citations or it needs more specific categories? Not likely. Deleting an article for not meeting "policy" is not a valid reason for deletion in all circumstances. Here, the article is notable, there are sources as provided above, and may you can be "arsed to fix" it as opposed to accusing other of not doing it. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:15, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep; pseuodscience or not, it is a historical notability. There was quite a buzz in 1960s. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:17, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. His impact is clearly notable, and I am finding plenty of reliable sources on him in a simple google search. Messy pages require cleanup, not deletion. Fuzchia (talk) 22:24, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I am still in favor of keeping this article. It just needs some cleanup. Reliable sources are not absent, and this pseudoscience stuff is pretty notable in the context of acupuncture. Ceosad (talk) 23:24, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So, are you going to do that? There is absolutely no substantive change to the article since the previous AfD noted that it was atrocious. Guy (Help!). Warning: comments may contain traces of sarcasm. 22:17, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Almost certainly yes, I looked at the Google books sources yesterday, and thought about doing some cleanup work. Ceosad (talk) 16:30, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (though I suspect the best that will happen with this is that we get a no-consensus keep again rather than a clear keep), for the same reason I gave the last time: no mainstream and scientifically-reliable sources to give a WP:NPOV take on the subject's fringe research. As the nominator notes, nothing has improved about the article, so there's no reason for me to have changed my opinion. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As I said at the previous AfD - "Doesn't seem to be anything to this other than his associated "discovery" of something that hasn't been found to be a real thing in over forty years. It ought to have been independently corroborated a gazillion times by now, but all we have is wiki eds claiming that acupuncture is vindicated by this guy's 'discovery' (nb: note justified 'scare quotes'). Nope, doesn't work that way." -Roxy the dog™ (Resonate) 06:44, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep
- "Fringe" does not mean "delete". Even hostile sources establish notability. There is ample and verifiable secondary coverage, especially when taken as a biography.
- I see the article on the primo-vascular has already been deleted on the false pretense that it is ignored in the scientific literature. Here are some peer reviewed journal articles about Bong-han ducts: [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Some of these were cited in the deleted article, and should be re-incorporated at Kim Bong-han.
- Biographies or anatomical observations in rats and pigs do not need to meet the standards of MEDRS. Any claim that these structures are relevant to the treatment of a disease should of course be excluded.

Rhoark (talk) 13:00, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd keep. The current version is satisfactory, with the extensive quotes removed. But I think the article to restore is the one on The Primo vascular system. He is not the only person to have reported it. DGG ( talk ) 16:27, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks reliable, independent sources. Since this is a business unit of a larger company, "stubbing" is not appropriate, per WP:BRANCH. No specific indication given of notability which is separate from Realogy. Grayfell (talk) 20:34, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nn. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - How does WP:BRANCH apply to a separate company? This is a subsidiary, but not an individual unit of the same company. My read on Branch is that it would apply to local units such as the "Local ???" of the UAW. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but figuring out this company's status would require at least one source. The line between subsidiary and business unit is debatable anyway. The editor who removed the WP:PROD suggested stubbing instead of deleting, but again, there are currently no sources at all. Per BRANCH: Aim for one good article, not multiple permanent stubs. Without any sources, there isn't any reason to think this could be made into a full-sized article, while the primary sources that were formerly in the article could, possibly, be used to add a few paragraphs to the parent company article. Grayfell (talk) 00:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point about the source, but I still do not see how BRANCH relates to companies. As stated previously, this is about stub organizations, not separate companies and although it is a subsidiary, it is a separate company. A "sub-unit" and "subsidiary" are two different things. A sub-unit is still within the same company while a subsidiary is merely owned by the company. I think it is a stretch to cite BRANCH in this instance. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:10, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, thank you. I had forgotten that BRANCH is specifically about non-commercial orgs, and the commercial parallel (WP:CHAIN) is not relevant. What ORG is getting at still applies, though: A large company with many WP:CORPDEPTH-compliant sources warrants its own article, subsidiary or not, while companies without sources don't. Without sources, the legal or internal distinction between a subsidiary and a branch is basically irrelevant. So is it notable enough for its own article? Should it just be mentioned in its parent company's article? Neither? Grayfell (talk) 01:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right that this would warrant talk in the parent company article if it is not notable for its own article. It has a ton of press, but the "depth" is something that I question, hence why I did not leave a vote as of yet. I would say if there is something in depth, it could warrant a stand alone article, but absent WP:CORPDEPTH outside of the parent company, merging is the best route. Just my humble opinion, though. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:38, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unfortunately, I could not find anything in depth after an additional search. Willing to change !vote if someone can show me differently, but there just isn't anything that fits CORPDEPTH to justify its own article. I am willing to do the merging into the parent article if there is a consensus for that. Just leave a message on my talk page when this is over. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:00, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both Colors Kannada and Colors (TV channel) or possibly redirect each to ETV Network. The articles appear to address the much same topic, and do so without significant coverage. The coverage is either (1) internal from the channel itself or related parties or (2) slightly rehashed press releases (PRs), primarily cited from Biz Asia, itself a questionable source because of lack of fact checking. I did not find independent coverage (PRs not being independent). I did not find substantive coverage, except PRs. I did not find significant coverage. There are mere mentions aplenty because of programming notices, but no coverage of the organization/channel. It fails the general notability guideline, as well as WP:CORP. In particular see WP:CORPDEPTH and the policy at Self-published sources, note #9; see also the policy regarding questionable sources and the essay at Wikipedia:Third-party sources. Note 1: Colors Kannada and the "Colors" franchise are part of ETV Network which is a subsidiary of Viacom 18, a joint venture between Viacom and the Network 18.

@Doniago: I did WP:BEFORE before putting an Afd place. And even I do have a doubt that there will be sources which will make the article stay in article space. With the article in its current state, my vote and arguments are still in favor of Delete. As the author wants to work more on the article, so I just don't want to discourage the author.

Keep as a notable topic. There is commentary about this fictional organization in Google Books. Global Entertainment Media: Between Cultural Imperialism and Cultural Globalization says, "Avatar represents the colonial self (the RDA) and the colonized other (the Na'vi) through the lens of Orientalist stereotypes (Said 1979). In Avatar, the colonial self is portrayed as active, technological, modern, forward-looking, and rational, while the colonized other is depicted as passive, naturalistic, traditional, backwards, and spiritual." Avatar and Philosophy: Learning to See says, "Avatar's Resources Development Administration (RDA) corporation offers a picture of what British Petroleum (BP) or Halliburton might be like if they could operate on an interplanetary scale... If the actions of the RDA and its private military force bring to mind examples of American imperialism and environmental exploitation, perhaps it's because our own world is poisoned by similarly perverse values. The RDA's attempt to wipe out an indigenous population to clear a path to natural resources looks a lot like our genocide of Native Americans, as well as like our ongoing decimation of the rain forest. At times, the RDA's attempt to suppress the Na'vi insurgents evokes the jungle war in Vietnam." These passages were from the first page of Google Books results, and there is likely more if effort is made. The article status has no bearing on the topic's notability, per WP:BEFORE.

The above passages are indeed significant coverage. WP:SIGCOV specifically says, "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material." There is a footnote that says a one-sentence mention of a band in one's biography is "plainly trivial", so surely the above assessment of the fictional organization exceeds plain trivia.

Additional coverage:

Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century: A New Generation of Scholars says, "...by refusing the Manichean biopolitics and zero-sum game of RDA, the Na'vi attempt to retain their integrity and plant a seed to enlarge the zoe community on more Pandoran terms... in a certain sense, RDA symbolizes Columbus and the Na'vi are the peaceable Caribs (until Columbus started chopping their heads off in search of gold)."
Marxism and the Movies: Critical Essays on Class Struggle in the Cinema says, "The cumulative by-product however would lead to the unity of the five clans of Pandora against the RDA Corporation and this represents a type of proletariat revolution... Comparisons abound between the struggles of the Na'vi against the RDA Corporation to that of Native Americans against the U.S. military... The RDA Corporation are clearly the capitalists of on Pandora... as the imperialists with the ability to travel across galaxies, RDA represents a technologically evolved social class. The Na'vi represent the proletariart and the Omaticaya clan literally translates to 'the people.' As mentioned earlier, the RDA is willing to mine unobtainium at any cost. They have justified class conflict in the name of economic riches."
The Post-2000 Film Western: Contexts, Transnationality, Hybridity says, "Within the structural framework, the RDA, which represents the mining and resource development needs of Earth, can be metaphorically read as a futuristic Department of the Interior, which within the United States' political structure oversees federal land management and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)... On Pandora, the military and the scientific Avatar Project fall directly under the purview of the RDA... their mission also includes acting as liaisons with the Na'vi, educating them and convincing them to accept the RDA's mining operation. The military ensures the success of the operation; its placement in the story reminds us that when the BIA was first created in 1824 it was housed in the War Department."
Revisioning, Renewing, Rediscovering the Triune Center says, "The RDA corporation is a stereotypical organizational cog within an industrial-military complex, driven by nothing more than a lust for more profit... the corporate leaders... are anthropomorphic prudes, refusing to acknowledge even the human-like agency of the Na'vi, whom they refer to as 'blue monkeys.' Members of the RDA coalition are also prudish in their sociography, forcing their own norms upon others, with little patience for anything that challenges their capitalist inscriptions."

RichardOSmith, Doniago, Andy Dingley, Onel5969: I have uncovered and shared passages about the organization. I ask that you review the passages and see if they contribute to the topic meeting the notability guidelines. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:46, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not really I'm afraid. They're great sources for a discussion of Avatar and themes within Avatar (and please use them somewhere, they're good), but they're not goood sources on RDA. Mostly because RDA just seems to be a thin and undeveloped "character" within the film. As the last of these sources has it, "The RDA corporations is a stereotypical organizational cog within an industrial-military complex, driven by nothing more than a lust for profit." That's a trope that can probably be found in Marx and certainly any sf onwards from that. It's just unoriginal and as such, not generating the coverage specific to RDA that we're looking for here. In fact, I'd use it in a subsection within a broad Avatar article critiquing the lack of depth to this organisation.

BTW - Enthusiastic support for userfying this. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:56, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All the passages above are specific to RDA. Notability is not about what makes a topic different from other topics, and even if one source simply calls it a mere trope (but did not leave it there), other sources make connections to history and culture that are surely worth consolidating. There is always going to be redundancy with works of fiction and their elements, and based on these sources, it can be worthwhile to lift this distinct topic out of being buried in other Avatar-related content. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:03, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another source:

The Films of James Cameron: Critical Essays, says, "It is certainly worth noting the reviews that have connected the RDA's exploits on Pandora with the similar exploits of Halliburton in Iraq... Cameron shows the RDA actions on Pandora as being a replay of the current war in Iraq... The actions of the RDA represent a perspective of American policy since 9/11. The whole enterprise is framed with post-9/11 rhetoric."

@Staszek Lem: Per our notability standards, an article's format is not a cause for deletion and always far less an issue when topic notability is established and the article can be easily fixed. Just sayin'. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 21:32, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MichaelQSchmidt: You are right, but IMO notability is not established. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine to disagree with Erik and myself, but a guideline requirement for significant coverage does not mandate an additional requirement that they also be the not-a-guideline substantial coverage you might prefer. And so if meeting WP:SIGCOV, even if available sources were not originally used, the topic can be seen to meet our "wikipedia criteria" for inclusion. Thanks and cheers, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 05:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please WP:NPA. Second, the key word here "suitable sources". And what constitute suitable sources, when in doubt, is decided by community consensus. And I would like to remind you that community includes me, i.e., "what I prefer" does count. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:36, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reminder that you are a part of it, but a community here is comprised of many individuals. And when the many voices agree with one way to handle something, a dissenting voice might speak but rarely changes the minds of the many. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While sure it is fine to delete crap articles, but when we have weak but improvable topics, it benefits Wikipedia and its readership to encourage and make corrections. Not to sound like an inclusionist, specially as I am quite willing to opine deletes, but in this case deletion does not improve the encyclopedia. Thank you Erik.

Delete per Andy's arguments of SIGCOV not being met. As the owner of a T-shirt for the Alien Franchise Weyland-Yutani/Weyland Corp., I can understand the wanting of an article. Weyland is in atleast five Aliens/Prometheus movies and counting. I just don't see significant coverage about the company. Perhaps when more movies are released. TV shows companies (aka Dharma Initiative) are more likely to meet significant coverage as they stay around longer. Bgwhite (talk) 07:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, well-intended non-guideline arguments unaccepting of the fact might well be ignored by a closer, for the guideline requirement for independent reliable sources which speak of the topic directly has been shown to be met. Sources addressing the topic in and in more-than-trivial manner are offered and have been used to improve the poorer article first brought to AFD. A laudable wish for WP:SUBSTANTIAL coverage is not a policy nor guideline requirement. Thanks Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Schmidt, your vehement efforts to shut every contrary opinion and force your opinion down the closer's throat are troublesome. Please stop being a plug for every leak. I can do the same and plug your posts with mine. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:58, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bgwhite, you said you're looking for significant coverage about the company, but WP:SIGCOV says, " Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Do you not find that the 7-8 different passages making specific assessments of this fictional organization count as significant coverage? They may not be the main topics, but they're certainly more than trivial mentions, meaning that the authors made a point to write about an aspect of the organization, e.g. making historical comparisons, especially the way the organization is structured, like being similar to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Why can't all this be consolidated to write about the organization? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:25, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about. Erik, please don't cherry pick quotes, WP:SIGCOV say exactly, "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material The keywords are addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed.

"Revisioning, Renewing, Rediscovering the Triune Center" contains one small paragraph about the RDA.
"The Post-2000 Film Western: Contexts, Transnationality, Hybridity" contains one sentence about the RDA.
"Marxism and the Movies: Critical Essays on Class Struggle in the Cinema" contains two sentences about the RDA
"Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century: A New Generation of Scholars" contains one sentence about the RDA.

What do we know from the sources? RDA is a big bad corporation and nothing more. Books use the RDA as a metaphor, but they do not address the RDA directly and in detail. Bgwhite (talk) 18:30, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bgwhite, I did not omit the first sentence on purpose. I did not find it applicable because we can all agree that this fictional organization exists. It is named and described, so there is no original research involved, as may happen with a more abstract topic. Whether or not it is "in detail" is a fair point, though. That's why I highlighted the second sentence about not having to be the main topic. This organization will be repeatedly be discussed in the context of the film. I find the descriptions incorrect, though. For the book The Post-2000 Film Western: Contexts, Transnationality, Hybridity, you state that there is only one sentence about the RDA. This is untrue; the whole paragraph (about 9 sentences, maybe 200-300 words?) makes historical comparisons with the RDA. Marxism and the Movies: Critical Essays on Class Struggle in the Cinema brings up the RDA multiple times across a page. It does not mean that the whole page could be paraphrased to be put into the article. It can be distilled. This is the same for Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century: A New Generation of Scholars, where it is again more than just one sentence. (Look for instances of RDA, not just the full organization's title.) I think that across the sources available (and I have found more in Google Books), even when distilled all together, would make a reasonable article about the organization. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:41, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment on additional sources listed here. I did not go through all of them, but two I bothered to open are published in vanity press and hence are not WP:RS. Therefore claims about "significant coverage" are questionable. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:02, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Which sources do you consider vanity press? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:27, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Global Entertainment Media: Between Cultural Imperialism and Cultural Globalization: Routledge
Avatar and Philosophy: Learning to See: John Wiley & Sons
Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century: A New Generation of Scholars: Information Age Publishing
The Post-2000 Film Western: Contexts, Transnationality, Hybridity: Palgrave Macmillan
Marxism and the Movies: Critical Essays on Class Struggle in the Cinema: Wipf and Stock
The Films of James Cameron: Critical Essays: McFarland

I am not seeing any indication that any of these sources are under a vanity press. Even if some are, there are reputable publishers in the above list. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:34, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy article for now (I have struck out my earlier position to keep). I have not contributed any improvements to this article even though I listed sources in this discussion, and I would like an opportunity to do so. I believe there is potential for a well-developed and well-sourced article, and I will work with the creator to do this. I ask for the article to be moved to Draft:Resources Development Administration (without the "(RDA)") for further development and a follow-up review based on what is consolidated and structured. Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 21:23, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy as Erik as several others suggest. I fully agree with guideline WP:NPOSSIBLE that an article's quality or length or it not using available sources is not a reason to delete. While certainly any article within these pages could be whittled down and eventually merged somewhere else, that does not BUILD an encyclopedia. While AFD not intended to force improvements, I believe in WP:SEP and in my attempts improving this project for its readers (and I've had some small successes doing so) I would far rather improve something myself or seek other's help in improving if I have weaknesses. Just as does Erik, I look beyond present state and instead look toward WP:POTENTIAL. Even if considered faulty by some, this topic, spoken of in |more-than-trivial manner in numerous sources (thank you Erik, for always looking beyond an AFD template's fallible "Find sources") is notable per guideline. We improve that which is improvable, for even in its admitting it is itself imperfect, deletion does not always improve a growing Wikipedia. As he has the knowledge and is willing to do so for the project, I agree it be done. I have struck my "keeps" above.Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.}

@Bejnar: A book was recently released on the subject. The released book entirely is on Aligarh Institute GazetteAsghar Abbas; Syed Asim Ali (10 July 2015). Print Culture: Sir Syed's Aligarh Institute Gazette 1866-1897. Primus Books. ISBN 978-93-84082-29-1. This book is based on a critical study of The Aligarh Institute Gazette covering the period 1866 97, a phase when India was slowly transiting to the modern age, with the spread of new political, social, educational and religious ideas. Numerous social movements too, were gathering steam during this period to reform the Indian society.

Keep per WP:SNOW and suggest Dharmadhyaksha {{Withdraw}}. There is not just sufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, there is an overwhelming abundance of sources, and subject passes WP:NPERIODICAL/WP:NMEDIA/WP:GNG with flying colors. I have done a slight rewrite with a few additions, and I have added ~10 {{cite book}}s, but you could add several dozens more. And that's cite books only. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 06:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One sentence mentions, in sections which are primarily about Syed or Beck or 19th century muslim movements is not significant coverage. Yes the name shows up in Google Books, that is not the point. The point is notability. It does not qualify, nor would I expect it to, under Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals), so if it were to qualify it needs to do so under the general notability guidelines. The shotgun approach of just adding citations to the article, such as Rafiq Zakaria (1986). Rise of Muslims in Indian politics: an analysis of developments from 1885 to 1906. which just has three very passing mentions on pages 212, 314, and 317, does not produce notability. The substantive two pages of the contribution of Cementing Ethics with Modernism: An Appraisal of Sir Sayyed Ahmed Khan's Writings. if carried forward in other books would do that, but passing mentions, often just cites, don't work. --Bejnar (talk) 13:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Arifjwadder (talk) 18:16, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I withdraw my objection; however when two out of the first three citations that are added to an article are mere mentions, it is difficult to continue evaluating them. Has anyone actually seen a copy of Asghar Abbas's book (as translated from Urdu by Syed Asim Ali)? Is that why it is listed in "Further reading" and is not cited? (Note: Syed Asim Ali should probably not be treated as an author.) --Bejnar (talk) 21:50, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bejnar: I did not read the copy of the book but it can be found here http://www.amazon.in/Print-Culture-Asghar-Abbas/dp/9384082295.

For future reference you might keep in mind the guideline at Wikipedia:Citing sources#Say where you read it which says: Don't cite a source unless you've seen it for yourself. and the suggestion at Wikipedia:Further reading#Relation to reference sections : Some editors list sources that they hope to use in the future to build the article in Further reading.

Keep. Publication widely cited as an authoritative or representative voice of liberal Muslims in India 100 years or so ago (particularly on ideas of education). Asghar Abbas's book only comes out in 6 weeks, so nobody can possibly have read it yet (except in-house editors, external reviewers, the author's close friends and colleagues, none of whom could appropriately be citing it on Wikipedia pre-publication), but its existence does point towards notability. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 19:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not an obviously notable band, a search for sources brings back nothing much more than this self-published entry in metal-archives.com.

Comment. I'm the article creator. If the band is, in fact, not notable, then there's no reason the article can't be deleted (for the sake of full transparency, I'd never heard of the band until about 5 minutes before creating the article, though I'm certainly not up to speed on German metal bands). Without some knowledge of the German language and perhaps of German-language musical publications, it's very hard to say whether the sources in the German article should be considered reliable or not.

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Bryant Jennings

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

Unlike the other boxing fight articles, the fight was not significant in NO way. Either the article has to be upgraded like the other ones or I think it should be deleted.

David-golota (talk) 15:46, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Fight received significant and substantial coverage from multiple major media outlets. For example, here are articles from the New York Times [25], Washington Post [26], Boston Globe [27], and Chicago Tribune [28] (note an ESPN article is already in the article). Further, I fail to understand the rationale for the nomination. Unlike what other boxing fight articles? How was this fight less notable than say Amir Khan vs. Paul McCloskey, Andre Berto vs. Victor Ortiz, Saúl Álvarez vs. Kermit Cintron, or Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narvaez. This was a fight for the biggest title in boxing (arguably in sports) at arguably one of the most famous venues in boxing and the United States. For comparison, many of title fights of Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, and Evander Holyfield have articles (lineal heavyweight champions of the last 20 years). Not to mention, to look at another combat art, all UFC, World Extreme Cagefighting, EliteXC, and Strikeforce events have articles and many of those events didn't include title fights, let alone of their most prestigious title.

Keep Every single Formula One race has its own article, as does every single UFC event, and I won't even begin to rattle off the amount of separate sub-articles for NFL seasons and other such sports. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for the significant coverage in independent secondary sources, not because boxing is in any way equivalent to MMA or Formula One. It's its own thing, with its own product standards. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:01, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This was a unification bout of several major titles and therefore significant in the word of boxing for that alone. The length of the article has no bearing on the argument but really the original author could have put a bit more effort to make the notability clear with references that he quickly added to the AfD debate. It is almost impossible to directly compare boxing with UFC or Formula 1 but one would think any title fight for a major belt (clearly defined in WP:NBOX would have a place.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:22, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, that's twice now that my F1/UFC/boxing comparison has been dismissed. How about some reasons?—I'm curious. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well I was saying it is difficult not dismissing but at the very least you are comparing the broad with the specific. Not all motor sport events have their page or all MMA events - and not all boxing fights are the level of the UFC (not all UFC events should have their own page either).

That doesn't answer much. Every single F1 event has an article, likewise every single UFC event. This was indeed a major heavyweight title fight, so what I was originally getting at was that it absolutely deserves an article if the aforementioned sports are to have their own. However, I was not saying that every single title fight needs one. I highly disagreed with Lucian Bute vs. Jean-Paul Mendy having its own article, and even tried to get shot of it, but that went nowhere. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:07, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm seeing is a lot of reporting on the results of the fight, but that's routine coverage. Where is the coverage showing this was a significant event that meets WP:NEVENT? Mdtemp (talk) 18:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is not how I see the coverage. Here are a few examples:

[29] - build-up article about the fight (specifically the challenger).
[30] - deeper analysis on the fight that goes beyond the fight result.
The remaining of the above do report the results of the fight, but I think go deeper than routine. Further, they are written by what appear to be writers of the papers in question as opposed to the same Associated Press article.

for other examples not above through a quick Google search:

[31] - a preview of the fight that give historical perspective (note from a paper not of the US or Ukraine).
[32] another preview/historical piece.
[33] - analysis on America's opinion of the champion in anticipation of the fight.
[34] - coverage on a major popular culture website. Its short, but boxing coverage on TMZ is far from routine.

I found all this with minimal effort. If you still don't think this shows coverage that goes beyond routine, then please elaborate because we may have different ideas of what is routine. RonSigPi (talk) 22:51, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE The article is a stub after a large amount of primary source material was removed. The article does not meet notability guidelines. The previous AfD discussion had many fans simply stating their desire to see the article kept, rather than making any particular argument based on WP policy. After considerable time and extended discussions there seems to be little prospect of the article improving, and thus it should be deleted. ゼーロ (talk) 10:16, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Primary source material is perfectly legal in the article about the author of this primary source, and it is to be restored pronto after this AfD closes. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's irrelevant to this AfD. Primary source material offers no notability nor indication of being WP:DUE. Restoring the information sourced only with primary sources, would be a BLP violation as well as NPOV and NOT. --Ronz (talk) 00:50, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (declaration of interest - I created the article). The subject is notable and is probably the most prominent video blogger within the electronic engineering community. Much of the removed material amounts to significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources confirming his position - thus WP:GNG is met. He's produced around 800 episodes of his video blog and his youtube channel has more than 283000 subscribers. The discussion forum on his website currently has 747934 posts in 50200 topics by 22702 members. This level of interest and involvement again suggests notability. There's much that could be done to improve the article, including reverting some content removals :-) SmilingFace (talk) 19:08, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, none of what you say establishes notability and ample opportunity to provide some sources that do has been given. If you can find any such sources you should add them now.

Keep. The interviews may not be fine for sourcing any controversial claims made in the interviews, but they are fine for notability. If you get interviewed, the publication has clearly taken notice of you; you're notable. In addition, I'm unhappy with the nominators' actions in deleting perfectly fine additional sources from the article, for example this Sydney Morning Herald article which devotes a non-trivial amount of space to Jones, and the German edition of Make magazine, which covers one of his gadgets; while these wouldn't have been sufficient for notability in themselves, they are certainly helpful. A trouting seems called for. --GRuban (talk) 01:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"but they are fine for notability" Howso? It's certainly not what WP:N says about secondary sources with significant coverage. It's a primary source. Are you thinking about just the introduction? Such introductions are usually provided by the interviewee. The two other sources mentioned are discussed on the talk page, where I pointed out they should be incorporated into the article, even though they add nothing to the notability and one is embarrassingly poor. --Ronz (talk) 15:44, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. A source decides to devote space to an interview. Clearly that's sufficiently significant attention. They don't interview everyone and their brother. --GRuban (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've been interviewed by magazines and even a TV channel for what amounts to hobby stuff. The particular interviews posted as sources have been discussed and rejected as evidence of notability and as reliable sources of information for the article. There has been ample time allowed for better sources to be provided, but none have been. This has all been examined extensively by editors who didn't just pop out of the woodwork at the last moment to object to deletion. ゼーロ (talk) 10:17, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Our notability criteria is not that of a newspaper interview, hence the need for WP:SOAP and WP:NOTNEWS. Interviews are primary sources. Do we agree on that? WP:N requires significant coverage in a secondary source. The only thing that anyone could assert as being secondary is the introduction, but we know such introductions are often provided by the interviewee. --Ronz (talk) 14:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First: The article version that should be considered is this one, before the most recent stubbing.

Detractors have used "BLP" (just that, without much further elaboration) to defend stubbing the article, but the primary purpose of WP:BLP is simply to ensure rock-solid sourcing for any material that could be construed as negative or controversial. There is no such material here. Yes, BLP does allow immediate removal in some cases: "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion", but no claim was ever made that the material removed was in any way contentious.

Primary sources: Many of the sources were removed for being primary, but nothing anywhere says that WP:PRIMARY sources cannot be used at all; only that they should not be misused, i.e. no OR: WP editors should not draw conclusions from them. But quoting a claimed fact as a simple statement of claimed fact shouldn't require a third party to have opined about it. For example, one deleted source is an independent-of-YouTube web site that provided view counts, subscriber counts, etc. for Jones' YouTube videos. This was deleted as being "primary". Why do we need a secondary source for such a matter-of-fact statistic? Information about Jones' participation in a couple of different events, obtained from the events' sites, was also deemed "primary" and therefore removed, because they were "primary sources about the event". Again, the only attempted use was as simple statements of fact. If the primary source was not being misused then it should not have been removed.

Several other points in the article were removed on the claim of their not being "notable", or as not contributing to "notability", despite at least two cites by me of WP:N, which clearly states that the notability rules do not apply to article content, only to article topics. Not everything in an article has to be independently notable.

Attempts to discuss any of these points were met with "argument by vigorous assertion" and even a "do not edit" edict to me.

Re WP:N. Considering the article in its pre-stubbing state, the General notability guideline has been cited often. Let's take it point by point:

"Significant coverage" is met by the two interviews. A book chapter is significant. So is a very lengthy interview in a highly regarded magazine in the field. (The claim has been made that interviews are primary sources; I'll get to that. But that's an independent requirement. They're still "significant coverage".)
"Reliable" asks for "editorial integrity". This too is covered by the editorial staff of the publishers (Circuit Cellar magazine and the book publisher).
"Sources should be secondary sources" - here is the biggest problem. I hold that while an interview is most definitely a primary source for statements made by the interviewee—they're direct quotes, after all—the fact that an extensive interview exists at all is evidence that the interview publisher considered the subject notable. Besides, this "requirement" is rather soft. It says "should be", not "must be". I'll revisit that point in a moment.
"Independent of the subject" - this requirement is met as neither interview was produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. This item also provides a list of examples of things that are not considered independent; "interviews" are not in that list.
"Presumed" - Nobody has cited any problem with the points here.

Conclusion re WP:N: Even if we agree that the interviews are primary sources, "should be" is not how one introduces an absolute requirement. In fact, the entire WP:N page (along with WP:PEOPLE) is not an absolute requirement. Like they say at the top: "This page documents an English Wikipedia notability guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." (emph. added)

I maintain that someone who has created hundreds of hours of video content (those 800+ videos? Most of them are around an hour long), is able to make a living from YouTube vblogging and related activities, has been the subject of two different extensive interviews in publications that meet WP's all of the WP:N criteria except the encouragement of "secondary", has attracted notice and generated public responses from several different electronics equipment manufacturers (including from the "Tektronix experts" at Tektronix, something I only found recently but didn't bother adding because I'm sure it would just be immediately reverted; if you're not in the field you have simply no clue as to how significant Tektronix is)... combined with all the other so-claimed "insignificant", "poor", "primary", etc., items recently deleted... is notable. Even if there have not been two largish non-interviews published about him.

(I suppose replies are going to show up here claiming we can't use the YouTube statistics, etc., because they're not "notable". Or they're "secondary". These miss the point.)

I suggest that not only should the article be kept, but that it be restored to its pre-stubbing state, and notice given thereby that the article in that state is acceptable. Jeh (talk) 22:00, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Significant coverage in reliable secondary sources" is what we need to demonstrate notability. Interviews fail that criteria. --Ronz (talk) 01:18, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I find much of the material listed before the stubbing contentious. It's biased, and doesn't mention any of the negative aspects of his work, effectively white-washing. It fails to meet the standards of a WP article on many levels, already extensively discussed. Now is a bit late to start making this argument, given that there has been ample time to improve the article. ゼーロ (talk) 08:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What "negative aspects of his work"? I'm not denying that some might exist, but your claim assumes facts not in evidence.

Jeh (talk) 14:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can provide examples from his videos, but I don't have any good sources. At least, none better than the mere fact that they exist in his videos and some people have publicly complained about them, which I'm arguing is not sufficient. Nice try though, trying to get me to contradict my own argument. ゼーロ (talk) 15:02, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is about whether or not the article should be deleted. Let's not get distracted. --Ronz (talk) 17:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'm only pointing out the weakness in using anything on YouTube as a source. It requires interpretation, which is unacceptable. ゼーロ (talk) 08:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not everything requires interpretation. A statement that person x on youtube video n said "blah" doesn't require interpretation if it's an exact quote. Similarly for the YouTube statistics. To hear you and Ronz tell it you'd need a secondary source for the statement that there are 12 inches in a foot. Jeh (talk) 13:14, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"there are 12 inches in a foot" I guess FOC is too much to ask. It's also irrelevant to the AfD discussion and disruptive. I do appreciate the irony of accusing me of not understanding the policy that covers identification and use of primary sources WP:PSTS, which also includes WP:CALC. --Ronz (talk) 16:46, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anything I've said rises to the level of "attack" (as claimed in Ronz's edit comment), particularly since it's clearly hyperbole (you don't really think that I think you'd insist on a primary source for "12 inches in a foot", right?). But when an editor insists on removing content on flimsy bases like "it's primary" (there is no absolute rule against primary sources, only against misusing them) then that editors' rationale and subsequent actions are quite relevant to FOC.

Meanwhile, still waiting for justification of ゼーロ's "contentious" claim. Since that would require negative comments about Jones, and those are judgments, good secondary sources would indeed be required. Seeing none... Jeh (talk) 17:19, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"still waiting..." ゼーロ shouldn't be responding here, as it is irrelevant to this deletion discussion and just disrupts it further.--Ronz (talk) 17:47, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ゼーロ brought up the claims of "contentious", "biased", "white-washing" as a reply to my !vote. May I suggest that you don't WP:OWN this discussion any more than you do the subject article? So please stop trying to moderate it?. Even if such a role existed, the fact that you are a strong proponent for deletion would disqualify you from it. Re your point: if desired, ゼーロ could add material supporting those claims to the article, if it can be secondary-sourced. And that's what I'm "still waiting" for. Of course, then the article would be less biased in ゼーロ's view, so presumably it would be more acceptable to ゼーロ. Hmm. Jeh (talk) 18:19, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of information online from sources of varying reference quality; coverage in larger media indicate Jones involvement in a range of issues, and credibility in his field:

Prototype to Product: A Practical Guide for Getting to Market (O'Reilly Media) - "...great resource for 'hardcore' EE design/development information is David Jones EEVBlog..."[35]
Electronics News - Jones quoted on relocation of (his former employer) Altium to China [36]
International Business Times - coverage regarding YouTube spamming of EEVBlog [37]
Circuit Cellar - Jones interview; from the intro: "Dave Jones ... The Sydney, Australia-based engineer’s video blog (EEVblog) and podcast (The Amp Hour, which he co-hosts with Chris Gammell) are quickly becoming must-subscribe feeds for plugged-in inquisitive electronics enthusiasts around the world." [38]
Sydney Morning Herald - controversy around Jones/EEVBlog critique of a new electronics product[39]
ZDNet - EEVBlog mentioned and episode used in how-to article[40]

Certainly, it's clear that Jones is a notable individual, and, while not in abundance, enough reliable secondary source material exists to support this. In addition, given Jones' ongoing activities, there is every reason to expect that new sources will continue to appear in future. Can't see how this could be seen as failing to meet WP:GNG. --Tsavage (talk) 03:36, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:AFD notes that !votes should "explain how the article meets/violates policy rather than merely stating that it meets/violates the policy." This guideline is not met by the vast majority of "delete" comments here. "BLP" is cited often but no cites have ever been given (not here, not on the article talk page) of contentious or even non-neutral material in the article that was not referenced to a source (before the article was stubbed, that is). Primary sources were claimed as violating BLP but not even BLP has a blanket restriction on use of primary sources, only against their misuse; nor have there been any cites of specific misuses of primary sources (only "that's primary, you can't use it"). (The prime example being when Ronz simply deleted all such points in the article, with a lone "BLP" in the edit summary.) One SPA IP mentions "the quality requirement" but does not cite any specific WP P or G that defines such. Another refers vaguely to "Wikipedia's standard". In at least one case it was claimed that sources were e.g. "found to be unsuitable" but this "finding" was simply "argument by vigorous assertion" of the delete camp on the article talk page. In sum, I suggest that the "delete" comments here are not presenting anything like a strong case per WP:AFD; most of them amount to arm-waving and rock-throwing (rocks with "BLP" painted on them).

The result was delete/speedy delete as a hoax. If anyone can provide a reliable source that shows that this tribe exists, I'll restore it and send it back to AfD, but a search brings up zero sources. I am aware that there may be a language barrier, but if the tribe existed there would be some sort of English language record of the tribe. That the only "source" goes to a Facebook page with an image of laughing teenagers isn't particularly convincing either and gives off the strong impression that this is something that a couple of kids came up with one day as a lark.

Delete as not notable. This was dePRODDED about three years ago on the assumption that the institution was accredited. But I found no mention of accreditation on their web site and the name of the institution does not appear on a list of accredited Australian universities (that list is here). Furthermore, the article does not evince the depth of coverage and independence of sources that are called for under WP:ORG. NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the claim of accreditation is (I think) based on this college being a registered training organisation, according to this page on their website. That said, I'm not sure that simply being one of thousands of RTOs is sufficient grounds for notability, and I'm not finding other coverage that would push them past the WP:GNG. As an aside, I'd caution User:NewYorkActuary not to rely too much on the list that they're using, as based on the list of Queensland colleges it looks to be quite out of date (ie: Cooloola Sunshine has been Sunshine Coast TAFE for years now).

Keep on IMDB Jane Bordeaux proving that Jane Bordeaux clearly has over 3 actress credits. As there is much text and many photos of Jane Bordeaux in the film Phone Booth, acting on the television show Felicity and more verifiable information. Click the "See more" section on her acting profile to see more verifiable credits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Themusiclover1 (talk 4:43 PST, 7 October 2015 (PST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.152.133.164 (talk)

IMDB is not a reliable source since anyone can add information there. The information there still says that all appearances are uncredited, which means finding a verifiable reliable source acceptable to Wikipedia will be very difficult if not impossible. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 23:57, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

on IMDB Jane Bordeaux proving that Jane Bordeaux clearly has over (3) ACTRESS credits uncredited or not, they are indeed verified and verifiable "actress credits". The actress credit information is "verified" before being added to IMDB. As there is also much text and many photos of Jane Bordeaux in the film Phone Booth, acting on the television show Felicity and additional verifiable "actress" information. Click the "See more" section on her acting profile to see more verified credits. Not just "anyone" can add information to an actresses IMDB page, that comment is factually incorrect. Furthermore, Jane Bordeaux did not film herself and many photos of Jane Bordeaux acting in films such as "Phone Booth" and on television shows such as "Felicity" are verifiable and referenced. Also, many of Jane Bordeaux's acting credits are uncreadited and also no longer viewable only because she acted under the name a.k.a. "Cecilia Jane Conn" but now acts under the name "Jane Bordeaux" and many of her previous acting credits were mistakenly and accidentally deleted when she changed her name. It is extremely notable that Jane Bordeaux was the first female musician featured on magazine publication, Mafia Magazine's Nov Issue October November 2014. Reference, Be 100 Radio, 4 November 2014, retrieved 2 September 2015. The actress/ singer, Jane Bordeaux has over 90,000+ online "fans" following her online according to Reverbnation.com. I might also add, since you stated you were confused if the Jane Bordeaux referenced is the real authentic Jane Bordeaux refer to the photo of Jane Bordeaux with Robin Thicke on her Reverbnation artist page for your reference. Additionally, it is extremely notable that Jane Bordeaux was "VERIFIED" as a celebrity "PUBLIC FIGURE" by Facebook notice the blue and white "VERIFIED" check mark next to her name. This page should not be deleted for all of these valid verifiable reasons.

Delete - here's a summary of the sources provided in the article: a homemade wiki, a single magazine cover, and a blog. In addition, someone has added three uncredited roles to imdb - also not a reliable source, as has been mentioned. The editor defending this article as a keep created their account 7 days ago and has primarily been occupied with editing this one article. Without any reliable sources mentioning the subject, it's not even close to meeting notability guidelines. Rockypedia (talk) 21:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly fails both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR, the latter which says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" (which is the only one of the three which has a snowball's chance of being used to justify an article). Last time I checked, "stand-in" and uncredited roles are not significant, which leaves her with a total of zero. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As the author of this article, I feel its my responsibility to talk about the need of this one .Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best football players of this Era,and this is one of his notable records, Many a football sites have listed it as specific section but not any have taken the extra step to classify and organise all his hat-tricks till now into a single page .There are tons of football enthusiasts who will be interested in following such trivias and stats, even after many years, this would be important for football fans. I hope you keep this article for their sake. Issu4ever 10:13, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Issu4ever: It's interesting that he has scored 35 hat tricks in his career, I agree. I strongly disagree with the need for an entire article providing details of each of these hat tricks. This should be nothing more than a sentence on the main Cristiano Ronaldo page. Spiderone 09:02, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone: I have seen many other similar lists active in wikipedia regarding football stats, so I cant see why this one can also be considered. Ronaldo is definitely one among two most popular football player of this generation. More over, the page is getting reasonably good views and once the google listing gets higher, it will become one of the most interesting stats data for the football fans around the world (just like me -I was inspired to do this because of the non-availability of such a complete list anywhere in the internet world).

Keep Hat-tricks are usually notable events, especially in professional leagues. Often when one occurs, reference is made to previous records (i.e. last hat-trick by that player / team / against that opposition, etc.). That in itself suggests maintaining an article with the hat-trick records for a prolific player like Ronaldo has encyclopedic value. I wouldn't be necessarily for having a hat-trick article for every single notable player, but for arguably one of the most notable players of our generation, a dedicated article on his hat-tricks seems appropriate. -- R45 ^talk! 16:01, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: there's "Notstats", but Ronaldo's scoring of hat-tricks is well-documented because it is an exception to the rule how frequently he scores them. Example of documentation: [41]

Delete – I'm not going to get into the debate of whether or not hat-tricks are notable, or whether a domestic hat-trick is more or less notable than an international goal, because soccer is not my area of expertise. I can only really form a judgement based on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (which I'm well aware is an essay and not a policy). The most significant thing in my view is that a "list of hat-tricks" table does not appear to be a common feature of a player's personal page; most major players seem to have a "List of International Goals" table within their career statistics section, and the existing "List of international goals scored by..." articles are all valid SPINOUTs for whenever that table gets too long; but "list of hat-tricks" is not a common feature of a player's page, so that makes this article is an entirely new statistical list, not a SPINOUT of common content. Additionally, from what I can tell by looking through the article's categories, there seems to be no other player who currently has a personal "list of hat-tricks" article. If I put those observations together, then I would say that in the context of current content norms for soccer players, this article should be deleted. (If you want to change the norms and add "list of hat-tricks" tables to all player articles and spin out the larger ones, I'd support that alternative as well. But as things stand today I vote for deletion). Aspirex (talk) 00:40, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to agree. I think man of the match is similar. Yes, it is a great achievement to be man of the match but I'm sure that absolutely everyone here would agree that to have an article called List of Cristiano Ronaldo man of the match awards would be ridiculous. The same thing can be said for hat-tricks; yes it's a great achievement but there's absolutely no need to dedicate an article to it and it is just stats for the sake of stats. I see no reason why this list can't be deleted and then just replaced in the article with something like "Ronaldo has scored 35 hat tricks in his career". Spiderone 10:08, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a prety poor arguement to say "well there's nothing else like this, WP:IDONTLIKEIT, lets delete it!" On the same rationale as just mentioning it in the main article, we could say on the Scotland national team article that "29 players have scored hat-tricks" and delete the Featured Article that is List of Scotland national football team hat-tricks.

Comment Is there? Many of the delete votes have said that hatricks aren't notable, so on that rationale we should be nominating List of Scotland national football team hat-tricks. The delete votes above aren't distinguishing team hatricks from individual hatricks (also, that doesn't entirely make sense as a hatrick is scored by an individual - it is more of an individual accomplishment than a team accomplishment). Frankly I think this issue should be discussed on WP:FOOTBALL to set a specific manual style criteria for hatricks, because there are rational arguments on both sides of the coin. -- R45 ^talk! 13:20, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question - I don't have an opinion on this yet, but why is it so important that he didn't win any of those fights? I would think that merely participating in these high end fights would be notable enough. Cosmic Sans (talk) 16:15, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:NMMA is does not matter if he wins or looses but the number (3) does. Still if he won 2 one could say close enough and be a bit more forgiving. As it stands he was given two chances and didn't come close. The number 3 for top tier fights was chosen by long term consensus since what was looked for was staying power at the highest level. Those with a loosing record for the first two fights rarely get another chance.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:25, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NMMA and lacks the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. He can't inherit notability from his opponents and the top 10 ranking wasn't an overall ranking.

Neutral (with a POV opinion of delete). If a management guru wants a self-promotional article, then they should have a better one written that makes a better case. As it stands, I find it unconvincing. I'm not already convinced that this is a delete either, but I sure wouldn't miss it if it went. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This position is based on what I see in the article, but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise. If this person's notability derives from being a "management guru", can someone point me to other articles for which the subject's chief 'claim to fame' is management guru-ism? And if notability derives from being an author, can anybody tell me how an author can be notable without having written any books that are notable? Just to be clear -- I'm not being sarcastic here. I am genuinely willing to consider any answers to these questions. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:52, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @NewYorkActuary: the claim is for notability under WP:AUTHOR with several NYT reviews and other national publication reviews.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:04, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. When you cite to WP:AUTHOR, I presume you are citing either to criterion (3) (has created "significant or well-known work") or criterion 4(c) (has created work that "has won significant critical attention"). Either way, I don't see either of those criteria being met here. It is certainly true that his work has been reviewed in major newspapers, etc. But the business sections of newspapers routinely review recently-issued business books, just like their "weekend" sections routinely review recently-released films. Just like music-related magazines routinely review recently-released albums. Just like science-fiction magazines routinely review recently-issued science-fiction books. Just like ... I suppose I could go on and on with examples. My point here is that such routine coverage does not bestow any measure of significance on either the book or the author. And I don't see any significance being bestowed by anything else in the article. Thanks again for your response, but my position remains "delete".

WP:NAUTHOR needs rather more than "multiple reviewed publications". Even "multiple peer-reviewed publications" isn't enough to cut it for academics. Certainly for trade press books it is very easy to generate a published review, this only conveys notability if the review, reviewer or location it's published in also carry some weight.

User:Onel5969, the 2010 IEET link you gave[50] was 'incorrect'... but not your fault... after fighting with their terrible IEET website (which has also totally confused scholar.google.com methinks is worth noting), it turns out that the first actual coverage of practopoiesis by IEET was in September 2014 (not 2010 nor 2015 as the search engines sometimes imply),[51] an hour-long interview of Danko Nikolić by the IEET staffer[52] named Nikola Danaylov, who seems to be a reasonably-legit blogger-journalist-person, and unrelated to aka independent of Danko Nikolić. Later circa July 2015,[53] the same Danko Nikolić began writing guest-posts on the IEET website (3 articles plus 2 videos so far), but Danko Nikolić is not listed as a staffer.[54] I don't know whether the Institute_for_Ethics_and_Emerging_Technologies counts as a WP:RS-publisher in this case -- the Danaylov piece was posted in the IEET.org website and not in their edgy-but-peer-reviewed Journal of Evolution and Technology -- or for that matter whether Danaylov is famous enough as a blogger to be an exception to WP:BLOGS (he was called the 'Larry King of the singularity' by some prof once).

Alternatively, could merge into the downward causation parent-topic (that one has more refs -- but overall has similar WP:OWN issues to this Practopoiesis article under discussion -- prolly AfD'ing sequentially one at a time is best for the peace of mind of all concerned since merges can be accomplished in the interim). Double-merging both the Practopoiesis and the DownwardCausation articles into some grandparent-article, which I assume(?) might be neural synchronization from the cite-list above, might be WP:UNDUE or might be WP:NOTEWORTHY, not sure about that idea -- perhaps they fit better at computational neuroscience?

Alternatively-alternatively, perhaps side-merge the Practopoiesis and the DownwardCausation articles, intto a new subsection of the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research home-facility of the research-group? This school-article needs significant help at the moment (tagged for adding refs and details and COI), so as a bonus, that would get somebody knowledgeable about the facility involved on that article's talkpage, where perhaps User:Dankonikolic will shift from WP:SPIP to school-pride? 75.108.94.227 (talk) 17:02, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Repurpose to a draft article on the author, as proposed above. A merge into the institute where the work was done is undue weight, unless we expand that article to include every ever done there. A merge into the computation neuroscience article is also excessive weight at this point, unless we include every hypothesis there that has ever been published. DGG ( talk ) 23:19, 20 September 2015 (UTC) .[reply]
Redirect to Downward causation, which was what I did when I created this iteration of the article, to address the problem of various redlinks to the topic. It has since had a bunch of content added from IP editors and from the originator of the idea. A sentence or two explaining the term maybe could be added to the Downward causation article, but I don't see that it is a sufficiently well-established concept to merit an article of its own. DaveApter (talk) 08:57, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know I don't have much say in the destiny of the article, so I will not make any suggestions. It will be how you collectively decide. I would just like to provide a few technical facts in order to help the decision. i) Although much of my work is on neural synchronization, practopoiesis does not have a direct link to that topic. It would be a mistake to merge those. ii) Similarly, Downward Causation has nothing directly related to neural synchronization either. iii) Also, it would not make sense to add practopoiesis to Max Planck page exactly for the reasons that DGG stated. iv) I am not affiliated with ieet.org. It just happened so that their editor(s) like practopoiesis. v) Finally, I would like to state that, if I can, I'd be glad to help any solution that you come up with (and doesn't involve complete deletion of the contents of practopoiesis from Wikipedia) if such help is asked for and somehow magically does not put me in COI. Thank you all for your time and effort. (Danko (talk) 13:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC))[reply]
- Well, if you need to be asked, I'm asking. :-) Please make concrete suggestions, and please help us organize these concepts 'properly'. Suggestions on talkpages and AfD discussions and other non-mainspace pages are always okay, generally speaking, as long as the potential-COI is stated up-front -- you won't get magically into COI-territory, unless you start inserting stuff yourself into mainspace, which gives the appearance of SEO for your name and/or your institution and/or your inventions. Suggestions are fine, the more concrete the better. There are two problems to be solved here at AfD: first of all, these are hard concepts to understand ('practopoiesis' is a neologism compared to 'color' or even to 'qualia'), and thus it isn't easy for non-experts to figure out WHERE the topic best fits into the encyclopedia. Second of all, WP:SOURCES always help...

some questions for User:Dankonikolic, which I'll collapse, since although the *answers* are relevant to this AfD, the question-texts are not that AfD-crucial

User:Dankonikolic, as you noted in your comment at the first AfD of practopoiesis, the way that wikipedia justifies a dedicated-standalone-article about the topic of practopoiesis (or any other topic) is usually based on WP:42 aka "lots of other people independent from the topic publishing stuff about the topic in some reasonable amount of depth". Practopoiesis has some sources, but there are concerns that WP:PSCOI ... which I will note is *extremely* distinct from everyday-english-usage of the phrase 'conflict of interest' but that the wiki-jargon-definitions cannot much be helped ... makes several of the sources in the practopoiesis article right now, less-than-fully-independent. That doesn't mean such less-than-fully-independent sources cannot be USED in the article, it just means they don't count as fully towards demonstrating wiki-notability aka WP:N (again: little relation to real-world-notability) and passing WP:42. So to get to brass tacks, here is specifically what I ask, here at this AfD, which is a decision about whether to:

(1) 'delete'-and-userfy practopoiesis as WP:NotJustYet, which in fact would be a *move* of ALL the material currently at practopoiesis to a new non-search-engine-visible location at Draft:Practopoiesis (*later* after some improvements in sourcing and/or body-prose, to be moved back to practopoiesis the original location, or perhaps merged into Downward_causation#practopoiesis, or whatever makes most sense at that future time)

(2) 'delete'-and-bangmerge practopoiesis as WP:FAILN, which in fact would again be a *move* of SOME material currently at practopoiesis to a new subsection of an existing article

(3) bangkeep practopoiesis as actually passing WP:42, which is possible iff enough 100%-independent multi-paragraph-in-depth WP:SOURCES specifically about practopoiesis exist.

The *best* way that you can help... which will help improve wikipedia regardless of whether outcome userfy#1/bangmerge#2/bangkeep#3 ends up happening... is to dig up some WP:SOURCES which are written by authors besides yourself (ideally ones not from Max Planck but this is just optimality), in some kind of wiki-reliable publication (see typical list at WP:SOURCES and WP:SCHOLARSHIP) which specifically devote multiple paragraphs to discussing the concept of practopoiesis-by-that-name (ideally in the piece-title but this is again not really required).

If there are enough such sources, then bangkeep#3 is the likely result; if there are not, then bangmerge is the likely result. Therefore, the *next* best thing you can help us with, is by giving us the correct ontological position, of the practopoiesis concept. For instance, the correct ontological position of the technical topic Appaloosa (the horse breed) is something like this: physical thing > animal > mammal > horse > breed > domesticated > Appaloosa. This is just a very-rough example to give you an idea what I'm asking for, don't feel constrained to follow my not-very-optimal example pattern, just give us the *right* ontological parent for practopoiesis-the-encyclopedic-concept.

Also, in addition to a nice aristotelian chain starting at animal/mineral/vegetable/intangible, and ending up with the parent-of-practopoiesis followed by the-concept-of-practopoiesis, please also explain the "siblings" of practopoiesis. In the horse example, it would be wrong to up-merge Appaloosa into the Tennessee_Walking_Horse article, because they are both different domesticated horse-breeds (aka sibling-relationship not parent-child). In particular, is downward causation the parent, or sibling, or cousin, of practopoiesis?

Finally, besides the parents (most likely bangmerge-target) and siblings (most likely incorrect targets), what are the uncles and aunts (again these are close-but-no-banana incorrrect bangmerge-targets), and grandparents (ditto), of practopoiesis, in terms of what the likely readership of the article would expect to be the case? That is how the bangmerge (if we end up doing that), ought to be decided, methinks -- on the conceptual organization of topics, that the interested readership will find most logical.

In a nutshell, please tell us what the correct conceptual-parent of the practopoiesis-concept, actually is. Because quite frankly, I don't understand the concept, I've only just heard of it, and briefly skimmed the article. My quick-skim suggestion of bangmerging into downward causation was based purely on edit-history, maybe ideasthesia is a better ontological parent? Or maybe synesthesia but that is probably a great-grandparent. But I'd really prefer that *you* tell us, rather than me guesstimating. ;-)

My other concrete suggestions, for side-merging to a BLP-article about the initiator of the practopoiesis-neologism, or even to the University-article (aka the "corporation" that sponsored the "manufacturing" of the "product" called practopoiesis^TM) should be considered half-assed fallback measures, which are only necessary iff we cannot figure out the proper conceptual-parent-article. Those non-ontological bangmerge options could still occur, of course, and in cases where WP:UNDUE or other such issues play a role, are not uncommon compromise-measures. But as DGG points out, there is definitely a question of WP:UNDUE for the institute, and there is a pragmatic difficulty that we do not currently have an article Danko Nikolić where we could create the new subsection Danko Nikolić#practopoiesis.

Anyways, please User:dankonikolic, although it is very wiki-honourable of you to be willing to stand back, and let your fellow wikipedians pull the wiki-trigger on this AfD decision, I do ask that you please lend us a helping hand, in the form of concrete suggestions of what the Best Thing To Do would actually be... especially if you see, that we are about to pull the wiki-trigger, and blast a hole in our collective wiki-foot. :-) Please feel free to leave a note on my user_talk, if what I'm asking is unclear, or if you have questions generally speaking about all this stuff. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 12:34, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

very helpful comment by User:Dankonikolic, discussing a proper merge-target ; collapsed only to help keep this AfD tidy.

Dear 75.108.94.227, DGG and others, thank you very much for taking your time and effort to figure out the best way for practopoiesis becoming a part of Wikipedia. I will try to answer your questions in order to help. Practopoiesis is an interdisciplinary theory and is an overarching theory in the same time. This means that it is related to a number of topics with often otherwise may not seem closely related. I will specify more in a moment. But first let me explain that practpoiesis is a new theory and thus, does not have many citations yet. Existing publications have been mentioned here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:practopoiesis. I suspect that this may not be deemed as sufficient. There are works by other people going on (which I know from private communication) but it will take a while until this is published. Therefore, I realize that practopoiesis likely does not have yet the notability level required for having its own page. Nevertheless, according to notability criteria of Wikipedia it has sufficient importance to be mentioned in other pages (such as, for example Downward Causation). I have read and understood those policies only recently.

Now, I understand that 75.108.94.227 asks a correct question. Where can we put it, then? Being interdisciplinary and overarching, one could put it at several places, but in the same time none of these places would be exactly perfect. So, lets start with the ontological position of practopoiesis. I think that it is something like this:

explanations of the world > theories about mind > biological theories about mind > biological theories about mind that have new implications also for understanding life > [the same as above] + implications for philosophy of mind > practopoiesis

Examples of the existing pages in Wikipeda to which practopoiesis would logically fit are (i.e., the parents of practopoiesis could be):

Theory of evolution. Theory of evolution is a special case of practopoeisis. A number of principles of practopoiesis are generalizations of the principles of evolution. Also, practopoieis adds to it by explaining for example, why Lamarkian evolution cannot work even in principle.

Mind. Practopoiesis has been developed primarily as a theory of how mind comes out of the brain. Hence, I hope that one day it will form a prominent part of the Wikipedia entry on mind.

Brain. Being a theory of mind, practopoiesis is also a theory of the brain. Its main empirical predictions concern the brain.

Cybernetics. Practopoiesis is theoretically founded in two theorems of cybernetics. So, it is basically, an expansion of cybernetic theory.

adaptive system. The main explanatory tool of practpoiesis is a generalization of the process of adaptation. When the principles of adaptation are generalized enough, the same principles can be used for evolution, learning, thinking, behaving etc. Moreover, practopoiesis explains the interactions among those different levels.

Philosophy of mind Practopoiesis offers a completely novel approach to begin addressing various problems with which philosophy of mind is concerned.

As you can see, it is quite an overarching theory. For any of the above it would make sense to introduce practopoiesis.

In addition to those "big" topics, which could in principle claim Practopoiesis in the future as being an important theory for them (I am completely aware that if this ever happens, it will take years), there is a number of other entries in Wikipedia for which practopoiesis has implications but it would not make sense that they primarily introduce practopoiesis. Rather, practopoiesis is broader than this particular topic. In those practopoiesis could be mentioned, as it adds something relevant, but they should not be the primary Wikipedia source of information on pracopoiesis. They should be siblings and cousins. One of those is:

Downward causation The only reason practopoiesis made it to this entry, was the enthusiasm of one Wikipedia editors who happened to be interested in both topics and asked me to write about it.

And the others are:

Artificial intelligence, Consciousness, Homeostasis, Complex system, Abductive reasoning, Intelligence, Situated cognition, Esthesic and poietic, Adaptive behavior, Biological neural network, Allopoiesis, Poiesis, Sensitization, Allostasis, Embodied cognitive science, Variety (cybernetics), Good regulator, Externalism, Neurocybernetics, Embodied cognition, Wisconsin car sorting test, Semantics,

... and there is more.

Some of the above already have links to practopoiesis, or had them but were meanwhile deleted by editors.

Uncles and aunts of practopoiesis would be (i.e., those that are partly in both of the two categories discussed above):

Autopoiesis (a part of cybernetics and in the same time a part of theory of biology and life)
Reinforcement learning (a part of AI theory and in the same time a part of brain theory)
Neural adaptation (a set of empirically established brain phenomena)
Embodied embedded cognition (a part of philosophy of mind)

Finally, there are of course several other theories about brain, mind, life, AI that are in a way cousins to practopoiesis but are cousins that compete. This is because different theories make often different explanations and hence, different predictions. An examples of those is Connectionism and there are others.

Finally, let me state that ideasthesia is not a close cousin of practopoiesis. The two are only relatively distant cousins. Closer cousins that the two share are semantics and consciousness. So, it would not make sense that the page on ideasthesia introduces practopoiesis.

Comment3. Okay, after discussion with User:Dankonikolic, it looks like an appropriate merge-target for this borderline-wiki-notable practopoiesis material is in one of the biology-related articles. The other main options were in the philosophy-of-mind articles, and in the cybernetics (systems theory) articles, both of which are tightly-related conceptually. So here are my three amateur-attempts at placing practopoiesis into a leaf-article parent:

Biology: Embodied cognitive science > Sensitization > Allostasis > practopoiesis
Systems-theory: Cybernetics > if-not-Neurocybernetics-then-what-subfield-of-cybernetics-goes-here? > Variety (cybernetics) > Good regulator > Heterostasis_(cybernetics) > practopoiesis
Philosophy-of-mind: Situated cognition > Reinforcement learning > Embodied cognition > Embodied embedded cognition > Autopoiesis > practopoiesis

User:Dankonikolic may wish to comment here again, on whether Allostasis#Theoretical_biology_variants is the most appropriate new subsection for the material at practopoiesis to be bangmerged into, or if another leaf-article is a better fit. Also, ping User:Northamerica1000, is there a way to alert the WP:WikiProject_Neuroscience folks in a neutral fashion, please? That's closer to practopoiesis than "behavioral science" per se. I would do it myself, but they are not listed at the WP:DS page, and I wasn't sure if that meant that notifying that wikiproject about AfD stuff was taboo, or just that they have never bothered to list themselves, or what exactly. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 21:28, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete even though I'm usually in favor of keeping articles whenever possible. If Lou Giordano becomes notable by the Wikipedia definition in the future, the deleted version of the article could be retrieved by an administrator to help in recreating the article at that time.

A bit more detail as to why the current references do not establish notability:

Bloody Elbow source is an interview; these do not count towards notability, as they are what the subject says about themselves rather than what independent third parties say about the subject. (I did not check whether Bloody Elbow would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
MMA Corner is a blank page aside from two images; this may be a technical issue on my end. (I did not check whether MMA Corner would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
Newsday is a reliable source, but material about Giordano amounts to a mention, not substantial coverage.
MMAJunkie also only mentioned Giordano rather than devoting substantial coverage to him. (I did not check whether MMAJunkie would count as a reliable source for its niche subject.)
Loaded Joes MMA podcast I was not able to evaluate, as I am hard of hearing, but it probably counts as an interview and thus wouldn't count towards establishing notability. (I did not check whether either Loaded Joes MMA podcast or host site Podcast Garden would count as a reliable source.)
MMA Odds Breaker I couldn't tell whether the linked page was a full transcript or just excerpts, but it seems to also be ineligible for establishing notability as an interview.

There are plenty of notifications about him teaching classes and whatnot, but not really anything that would count as a RS. If someone can find that his sculptures are held in a notable art museum or had been part of a major exhibit at a notable institution, then that can possibly show notability. There are assertions that they have been, but I was unable to find these places at the last AfD or at this one, so I'm forced to assume that they are not in any place major.

NB: the article is now very short because all copyright-infringing content has been removed."

Week keep. I found sufficient notability to mark this as reviewed and contest the PROD (since when did removing a PROD require that the article be improved, btw? At least I gave a reason - not even that is required!) I am erring on the side of keep, though admittedly it is borderline: multiple plays on BBC radio ([57]) is not insignificant, and an indication that WP:BAND #11 or #12 has been met. I also found reviews and mentions in notable publications: Clash (magazine)([58]), Les Inrockuptibles ([59]) and Q (magazine) ([60]), for example, which seemed sufficient for inclusion.

Delete. I reach this position reluctantly, because the encyclopedia could use many more articles on Africa. But this isn't one of them. I note that it is sourced solely to a book by Laurent Gbagbo, who is mentioned in the article as a candidate for president of the organization. Gbagbo later went on to become the head of state for the Ivory Coast and has a reasonably good article here. But that article mentions nothing about his membership in this organization (nor about writing the book). There have been student groups in the Ivory Coast that have had some impact on the country. One of them was involved in strikes that eventually played a part in the severing of relations between the Ivory Coast and the Soviet Union (a brief description is here). Another played a role in one of the Ivorian civil wars (see FESCI). But by the instant article's own testimony, this organization didn't really do anything other than hold "congresses". Notability just isn't there. NewYorkActuary (talk) 00:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now. Agreed with NewYorkActuary. The book by Gbagbo referenced in the article, Côte d'Ivoire, Pour une alternative démocratique, seems to be a book where Gbagbo expounds his ideas about the politics and development of Côte d'Ivoire, and it seems unlikely that such a book would contain much material about a student organization to which he once belonged. Also, as mentioned above, it is not clear from the article that the organization did anything other than exist and hold meetings and such, so it doesn't strike me as likely that more sources would be easy to find locally. Can be restored if that turns out to be the case, of course. Sandstein 09:59, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Enough happened for this to be a worthwhile article. However, the eponymous category probably needs to be removed at CFD. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:11, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as although there's not much here, most of these articles are kept. SwisterTwister talk 06:50, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of earthquakes in the 2010s by death toll

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

Redundant. This is a stand-alone list – it is not part of a series. We already have a series of list articles (that is almost complete going back to 1900) that covers each year in detail. Deaths are included.

So, lets keep creating the yearly lists (for notable earthquakes – not everything above a certain magnitude) and drop this one. It's just not necessary to create a series of "List of earthquakes in #### by death toll" when the topic is already covered. There's nothing to redirect this one to. Just drop it as its unnecessary.

Delete Technically it isn't quite redundant to the articles linked by the nom, because they only give information about one year rather than allowing the most deadly earthquakes in an entire decade to be seen. However, I don't consider that a reason not to delete; Wikipedia is not a rephrasing of other Wikipedia pages in a slightly more sortable form (that's what Wikidata is for). Besides, we have List of 21st-century earthquakes already, which this is pretty much redundant to (and which would make a good redirect target if the title is considered to ease searching, which I don't think it does). --ais523 07:47, 3 October 2015 (U T C)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Kharkiv07 (T) 01:06, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. I performed a search for books, websites, text, and historical references to this person and came up with absolutely nothing. If anybody finds anything that would meet WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, let me know and I'll change my vote. Until then, I have nothing to show any kind of notability.
