Keep - topic meets WP:NSEASONS, being an article about a club from a fully-professional league's season in said fully-professional league. Needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 08:15, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:NSEASONS.
Neutral - page was empty but has since been improved by User:Matt294069. The original article was created just for pure vandalism, see this and in fact currently the article is basically a list of players, hardly what one would call an article. Barely worthy of having its place on wikipedia. Pelotas^talk^|^contribs 18:16, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As the person who is improving this article, I would say keep as its needs improving not being deleted as they are requesting. Matt294069 is coming 23:25, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted last year where it was shown nothing suggested any actual significance and substance for notability and that's what this is currently now, again with only advertising information and complete with professional photos; the history then shows 2 particular accounts involved with this and their other contributions suggest this is part of a PR campaign, not surprising considering that, although this may be sourced and informed, none of it takes away the noticeable PR and then the fact these said sources are in fact simply trivial and unconvincing. My own searches are then not finding anything but exactly this. SwisterTwister talk 23:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTRESUME, and nom. This is transparently an attempt to have us, a charity provide PR for a non-notable radio personality. Radio DJs are rarely notable, since there are just so many of them. Bearian (talk) 14:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. This has not been shown.

No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally. This has not been shown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeraldoAbbson (talk • contribs) 03:26, September 1, 2016 (UTC)

This is a 5 minute documentary that we mad last year. We released it on YouTube. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6S5CUHpkwE . I hope this is enough for you to approve this page of ours. If not, could you please specify the requirements to be eligible?

Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafsaarabb (talk • contribs) 10:10, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't be offended. Wikipedia cannot have articles on every YouTube documentary; we have a rule called the General notability guideline, which requires that subjects here have received coverage - been written about - by independent reliable sources. That doesn't seem to have happened with your film. --MelanieN (talk) 00:59, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge back into Plus_One_(band), which is our usual compromise solution in such cases where a solo musician isn't really that notable outside of his work with the old band. Bearian (talk) 19:02, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Plus One (band), where he is already covered in some detail. No need for addition merging; no need to delete before redirecting. If there is a problem with the article being re-created, the redirect could be protected. (I would note that the previous deletions were in the period 2007-2009.) --MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Bloggers can qualify for articles on Wikipedia because blogger, if the volume and depth of reliable source coverage is considerably greater than what's shown here — but one reference is not enough to get there, and "civil servant in a state government" is not an automatic notability freebie either.

Keep The only popular Nigerian music award is The Headies, MTV Africa Music Award (The MAMAs) & Nigeria Entertainment Award (NEA Awards).. Winners or act nominated for this awards are mostly chosen based on popularity.. That to say the article passes criteria 2 & 8 of WP:MUSICIAN. Since wikipedia did not note that the award must be a "major" so I don't think we should be adding our interpretation to it. Ayo Jay doesn't meet WP:GNG.. Since the article meet's two out of all it's criteria, it's set to be notable. It is also stated in WP:MUSICBIO that NOT all notable articles must meet WP:GNG.

Non-notable (fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK). WP:TNT, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, Widefox; talk 22:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, I was not able to find a single book review that could help with WP:NBOOK. Anything salvageable can be moved to Marc Okrand though without sources there really isn't anything to save. - Brianhe (talk) 13:36, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, plenty of copies and general reviews at Goodreads and Abebooks. Did someone notify the Star Trek project about this? It seems like a good start of a page, and of course, as do tens of thousands of pages, it needs citations, but there is no reason to delete. Randy Kryn 16:06, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As in, no WP:RS. That is a reason to delete per WP:GNG. Widefox; talk 22:15, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many new sources added on October 9 (see below), including an audiobook and its review by the Calgary Herald. Widefox, good job in pushing article improvement with this page, but maybe now please consider withdrawing this nomination? Thanks. Randy Kryn 16:09, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing still (11/10/16) fails GNG and NBOOK (see below). Widefox; talk 12:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant Delete per nom. If more real-world context and third-party sourcing was available I might be persuaded otherwise, but I'm not finding evidence that that level of improvement is realistically attainable. DonIago (talk) 17:14, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per the total lack of independent reliable sources either cited in the article or found by the various searches linked above, and this is a topic for which sources could be expected to be available online. Reviews in Goodreads and Abebooks are user generated, so it doesn't matter how many of them there might be. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:30, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source, here is one source that mentions the book, from the Washington City Paper (which has a page here). There are many internet sources and reviews, but at least this one is a "real" publication. Randy Kryn 17:43, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The grand total of the coverage in that article is the single sentence, 'Meanwhile, Okrand has just released The Klingon Way: A Warrior’s Guide, featuring a slew of Klingon proverbs: “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”'. How can that one sentence in a local newspaper be the basis of an encyclopedia article? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:13, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It confirms that the book exists, confirms that is contains a "slew" of Klingon proverbs (which is a basis of the page), and even quotes one. Is that really a Klingon proverb? I thought it was an older saying, or maybe the Klingon's picked it up on a radio broadcast (and I thought Klingons like all of their dishes served either cold or wriggling). Will look for more sources later. Randy Kryn 20:08, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Revenge#Proverbs for evidence that this proverb didn't originate with this book, or with Klingons. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't intend to claim that this proverb quoted by me as an example of the book structure is something originally "Klingon". Claiming that would be: 1) presenting own reasearch rather than documented research; 2) accepting an "in-universe approach". It was just an example, chosen by me by hazard, and nothing more.noychoH (talk) 21:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Kryn [1] is a passing mention so doesn't count for one of minimum two in WP:NBOOK 1. Without a single WP:RS this is an argument to delete, per my nom. It doesn't even meet GNG or NBOOK. Not one RS so far, I couldn't find one quickly which is why I nommed per WP:BEFORE. Widefox; talk 22:15, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, many reasons why I object to deletion (apart from the fact that I have created the article) are presented in the talk page to the article. The final one is that I believe in Wikiedia as a communal creation, I have created the basic stub, somone has added it to soem Wiki-community projects, someone will add some sources with quotations etc. Rome wasn't built in a day, it is very easy to destroy (delete), it is hard and time consuming to create. The attitude of the users who prefer destroying others' work to improving and commonly building is one of the reasons why many of my friedns have stopped working with Wikipedia altogether and I am also more often reluctant to start someting new, fearing that my effort would be destroyed by some fanatic of perfection from the very beginning. (no offence meant). noychoH (talk) 21:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What more, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Widefox, by reverting on 01:00, 30 September 2016 my edition, has deleted in fact several improvements introduced by me to the original article after his original critique - and despite my request in his discussion page to restore my editions first before adding the AfD template anew, he has not done it, although he has confirmed having read my request. (I have made my request to him to be polite to him and honest with him and also in order not to be accused of entering a war of editions). Unfortunately, I had technical problems with connecting to Wikipedia 24 hours ago, so I couldn't revert his edit myself, once having realised that he is not willing to show a bit of undertanding. ~~Now I have to describe his attitude as not fully honest.~~ noychoH (talk) 21:31, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, noychoH didn't dePROD as claimed [2], so I correctly took that as contesting the PROD, and waited for the dePROD, waited, messaged [3], waited, then took to AfD. noychoH then incorrectly removed the AfD (rather than PROD) [4] which I correctly reverted [5]. NoychoH, can you say what's not honest about me following policy? I've even explained your error to you here [6]. That accusation is a gross violation of WP:AGF, which reflects on you not me. Care to see the facts and strike? Widefox; talk 22:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why the annoucement on dePRODING appeared on your talk page and the (earlier) act of dePRODing did not appear, there were some technical problems with my connection to Wikipedia for a few hours, so when I have realized that the dePRODing did not appear I have reinstated it, that's all. Your have reverted not only the dePROD template but all the 312 character long edit. When I got a connection again I saw that, and I have written to you explaining what happened and why, but you didn't react. Then I've lost the connection again and this has lasted till this morning. Now, above I did not say anything about your following the policy - as you could see, even yesterday I accepted it as a fact. But, following a policy is a formal rule that can be done by a machine as well. - I was talking about your lack of reaction to the whole situation, after you have read my request - which is related to a more human approach of understanding the context of the situation, the other's difficulties etc. I would have thanked you, had you paid attention to my request, but you just skipped over it. I didn't mean to offend you. Excuse me. noychoH (talk) 22:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I do not want the whole issue to start resembling a personal dispute between two Users. Let it not cover the main point of this dicsussion: whether the article is good (even if only as a starting point), encyclopedic, needed, etc. and worth to be kept, or not. noychoH (talk) 22:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just check the edits, you undid the AfD not PROD. That is not allowed. End of story. This is both offtopic and moot. Without sources this will be deleted. Please see WP:ILIKE. Widefox; talk 23:39, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just one final word to explain myself. It was not done with the undoing or reverting. Having realised that my editions were not saved to Wikipedia, I have simply copied and pasted the whole text of my edition from my notepad (where I usually paste it before clicking Save), without even realising that you had alread changed PROD into AfD (Maybe even my computer didn't show it, and showed something from the cache instead?? I've told you already that there were some technical problems that night). noychoH (talk) 08:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's now 6 sources, 2x trivial mentions (doesn't count for notability), and 4x others from Klingon Language Institute which according to our article is not fully independent of the author / advocacy group, so doesn't count for notability. I've tagged the article third party sources. There's still zero third party RS for notability. Widefox; talk 23:50, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The more specialized the subject, the less possibility that there is an independent review different from a "trivial mention" (who is able to make a noteworthy review of a book on Bembe or Yukaghir language if one does not know the language? Who can spot printing errors in Klingon words if not a person who speaks Klingon? And most of those who are able to understand and speak or even write in Klingon, are members of the KLI, for practical reasons). The Wikpedia articles on higher algebra only cite the sources of those who practice higher algebra, often of their own professors. This does not mean they belong to their advocacy group.

It is obvious that a given Shakespeare Society's publication are highly dependant on Shakespeare, likewise KLI's publication, concentrating on the Klingon language as its object of research, are highly dependant on Klingon language resources, and these are not so numerous. Nevertheless HolQeD during 13 years of its existence was a reputed linguistic journal, with articles listed in the MLA reference publications. The articles published there are not "hymns to the praise of Marc Okrand" but they treat the subject in a neutral way. They admit his authority in the matters where he constitutes a real authority, like creation of new words, but not necessarily otherwise (similarly as Zamenhof constituted an authority in the beginning of the Esperanto movement for the authors of Esperanto dictionaries and grammars, but not necessarily in everything). Especially one should take take into consideration context of the lawsuits concerning the intelectual property rights to Klingon language (Marc Okrand alone was comissioned by the Paramount Pictures to create/build the Klingon language and authorised to develop it subsequently). Your opinion on HolQeD based on the Wikpedia article Klingon Language Institute is at the best a hasty overinterpretation of the information contained within that article (leading to a grave misinterpretation of the facts). Neither KLI as a whole nor single KLI members publishing their articles in HolQeD do belong to Marc Okrand's advocacy group. Nor is Marc Okrand a member of KLI, or a person related to the board, he is just their guest from time to time.

In my talk page I have typed in some excerpts from the review by Captain Krankor, in oder to show you (an the others interested) the level of scholarly work and independent research (beyond simply quoting Marc Okrand) done. noychoH (talk) 08:19, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although there's merit in the level of independence argument, that source still doesn't count per WP:NBOOK 1. This excludes... author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book (emphasis own). Even if it was a WP:RS (which should be taken to the WP:RSN) - how can we build an WP:NPOV article if the only sources are from a) one source b) which is an advocacy group? WP is WP:NOT WP:SOAPBOX, we're not an extension of one website. Widefox; talk 10:37, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment~~Delete it anyhow~~ - I can see that the more the article is improved, the more objections from Widefox does it raise. He introduces new tags but does not care to remove the tags that are no more valid or are obviously false from the beginning, like the {in-universe|date=September 2016} one. It seems to me that the article will be deleted anyhow, so it is a waste of time to try to improve it. noychoH (talk) 00:27, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See [7]. Widefox; talk 00:34, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(excuse me, I've removed the non-applicable tags, anyone could have done it BTW). Widefox; talk 00:42, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because of your previous reactions I was afraid of removing anything introduced by you, not to be accused of e.g. starting edit-wars. Who can delete tags if not the one who has introduced them (who else can know the intention behind a tag than the one who introduced it)? But encouraged by you, I understand now that after making some more improvements, I am now allowed to delete the tags as well.

The problem is that you seem to be very strict about everything (too strict in fact, to my taste. E.g. your presumption of bad faith on my side on an accidental replacing of your signature with some meaningless content (yet not being a vandalism) - how does it differ from my earlier words about your not being fully honest, apart from the words themselves being used? It's not a rhetorical question so if you answer me, I'd like to know your opinion. But it's OK, if you don't want to, dont't worry, just think about it. I have now striked through my earlier words, to wit, previously I didn't fully understand what you meant by: "Care to see the facts and strike?", I think this is a shortcut that allows for different interpretations, anyhow, I was more concentrating on "see the facts" and why you don't want to see the other side of the facts.

I have explained in your talk page why I consider this space to be a relevant place for this kind of discussion in this context. noychoH (talk) 08:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi noychoH. Maybe you should ~~strike out~~ either your "Keep" or "Delete" comment, as you've now 'voted' both ways. It's a good page, so I hope you remove your delete comment. ~~Some editors are what we call 'deletionists', and they will find reasons to delete just about anything they set their mind to~~. I don't know why. But please don't ~~let it discourage you enough to~~ delete your own page, which might have to be called it's own genre of editor (self-deletionists?), defined as "Those who create good pages and then lobby to delete them even as they try to improve them". A symbol for self-deletionists can be designed which they can put on the top of their user page. What goes around comes around, and then gets deleted. Randy Kryn 15:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't some childish dispute between "deletionists" and "inclusionists", but an issue of whether this article conforms to the basic requirement of being based on significant coverage in independent reliable sources. If you and NoychoH and NoychoH's friends want to write about things that don't belong in Wikipedia then there are plenty of other places on the Internet where you can do so. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Randy Kryn, for your advice. noychoH (talk) 07:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:86.17.222.157 is right. Attempts to personalise just indicate being too emotionally involved and get in the way of core principles. The AGF violations have gone too far and are tiresome. What is this anyhow, a fan thing, POV pushing or a WP:COI? Hey, I'm a Star Trek fan but suggest this is Salted to prevent further attempts at recreation and abuse of other volunteers. This is just not acceptable noychoH. Widefox; talk 09:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I completely do not understand what you mean, as a whole. (I am not a Star Trek fan, I am just "fan" of the Klingon language and other constructed languages, just like authors of the articles on higher algebra are "fans" of mathematics. And I am not against other users improving on what I have done, just the contrary). But I am not familiar with discussions using a hundred of acronyms instead of normal words. It's like instead od saying "understand" I would say COD1266-7 (leaving for you to divine that I mean "Concise Oxford Ditionary [of Current English, sixth edition, 1976], pages 1266-1267, and which of the numerous meaning contained within the article on "understand" do I mean). Your are breaking the basic rules of human communication, and Randy Kryn was right in describing your attitude, and I start wondering if have been right in striking out what I have striked out. You may ban me now, if you like. Anyhow, I am also tired with all this, and since now on I shall not say a word. Let it go as it goes. noychoH (talk) 09:53, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(linked above). WP:FAN seems to be the most pertinent, where concentrating on notability is helpful. Trying to retain this article in the face of our policies is what? Calling others names (ad hominem) just because they don't agree with you reflects badly, and I advise to strike this nonsense. (I've given a L3 warning to the editor that this is unacceptable, despite two of us pointing this out). Widefox; talk 12:26, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Calling someone a deletionist is not a "name", it's a description (Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia). I'm a self-defined inclusionist. And the above "If you and NoychoH and NoychoH's friends want to write about things that don't belong in Wikipedia..." qualifies as deletionist language, so pointing that out is not nonsense or calling names, but a factual point in this discussion. Randy Kryn 13:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not "deletionist language", but simply a statement of Wikipedia's core principles and an attempt to help you find an outlet for such writings. I have no time for anyone who defines themselves as either "deletionist" or "inclusionist", because they are both childish tribal labels that take no account of the policies and guidelines agreed here by consensus. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:02, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, The Irish Times is a very reliable source, and combined with other sources the article is now well-sourced, is a topic which many readers are interested in, and the original author has added to the page and has accurately defended this page. Some editors who still want this page deleted may think that articles about the Klingon language do not belong in Wikipedia, as was mentioned in the above discussion, but the language seems to be very well documented, sourced, and a part of both the Star Trek culture and the real-world culture. With the addition of the sources, especially The Irish Times, maybe this deletion request should be withdrawn. Full disclosure, I am a fan but not a fanatic about Star Trek, do not speak or write Klingon or know anyone who does (besides NoychoH, who I've just "met" after coming upon his new page, and who I've asked to tell me how my user name would be written and pronounced in Klingon and he has ignored my polite request! Grrr, roar, gnnork), but I do believe that articles about the language are perfectly fine as subjects to be covered in this encyclopedia, and that this article is now a very good page pertaining to the subject thanks in large part to the pressure put upon it by this deletion discussion. Randy Kryn 13:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See above (passing mentions don't count for notability per WP:GNG and "non-trivial" in WP:NBOOK). Restating it does nothing, as what you believe is irrelevant in the face of basics such as WP:N and WP:RS. I count zero refs for notability (above). Best to focus on finding sources for notability rather than blaming the messenger and speculating the motivations of other editors per WP:AGF. Widefox; talk 20:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I pointed out above that the Washington City Paper only had one sentence about the subject, so doesn't amount to significant coverage, but The Irish Times has even less than that, as it covers five books in a single sentence. As I've already said, I'm sure that there are wikis for fans of constructed languages and/or Star Trek on the Internet that welcome such original research, but Wikipedia doesn't. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for calling you a deletionist. I don't know if you are or not, and have not looked at your contributions page. It just makes me sad the few times I've been involved in deletion discussions how many good pages must be removed on a daily and weekly basis, and I'm taking that out on you guys. And I want to assure you that I have no interest in writing about Klingon language on any blog, but thank you for the suggestion. I know as much about the language as I do about any obscure tribal language. But it is a language, and there certainly seems nothing wrong in having Wikipedia articles about it, so I was a bit confused why you kept wanting me to write on a blog and that this seemingly accepted language doesn't belong on Wikipedia. You are apparently saying it in good faith, so I'll respect your point of view. But since other articles about the language exist on Wikipedia, and this has been called a canonical book by the languages' leading journal, it seems like an easy Keep now. This is mainly because you and Widefox pushed the original writer, and I fell into it while on an italics run, and helped out at first because it's a Star Trek related page. Then you've pushed both of us, and I think the page shaped up under that deletion pressure. But now I think it's fine, and those journal cites should probably be the thing saving it. Randy Kryn 1:35, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a powerful argument. How can it be fine with 0 (zero) RS (per above notability)? Widefox; talk 15:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to closer, there are multiple cites on the page from HolQeD. The Journal of the Klingon Language Institute, which was published quarterly for 13 years by the Klingon Language Institute. Now, if this was a book about medicine, or about astronomy, or just about anything, a professional journal apparently respected as the main journal of the subject, in this case the Klingon language, would be accepted immediately as a source. Why not this one? If you notice in some of the above comments, I've been told several times that if I and others want to write about this subject that we should take it to some kind of blog. I've seldom seen this type of bad faith at Wikipedia~~, and I've stopped answering those comments~~. I don't care a hoot about the Klingon language, but it seems to be a notable subject both here and elsewhere. And its top organization, the Klingon Language Institute, which used to publish the accepted journal of the field, a journal which is referenced several times on the page, calls The Klingon Way one of the canon books in that field. If the Journal of the American Medical Association called a book a canon in its field, that source would be accepted without question. I think the same courtesy should be extended to this page. Randy Kryn 22:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One source (and an advocacy one at that) for a whole article doesn't fit our core principles (per above). This is better elsewhere like a specialist wiki as correctly recommended. Widefox; talk 15:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Marc Okrand (and protect it) We require reliable third party sources specifically so that we know that the topic was noticed by the world at large and we do not become a collection of indiscriminate information. The Klingon institute is too affiliated to be of use here. I think a redirect is best here. If at all any information needs to be merged (though I don't see a reason for merging), it will be available from the history. Personally, I think for stuff like this Wikia is the best place to create articles. The Wikis over there are specifically devoted to a particular fandom and also edited by enthusiasts. It's a great way of preserving information not suitable for a general purpose encyclopaedia. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Selectively merge to Mark Okrand. The Klingon Institute-related sources establish that the book is of interest to some readers, but the independent sources aren't sufficient to establish notability apart from Okrand or Klingon fandom. Cnilep (talk) 23:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment to closer, there are only 15 blue linked pages in List of Star Trek reference books, and this is now one of them (the listing was red-linked before). Please note the words and mocking tone on this nomination page, and the requests for the people "defending" it to go away, to go to a wiki, or a blog. As I've said, I know nothing of this language, but it is a real language and other pages on Wikipedia show that it has been accepted here. The original editor has done a fine job, above, of defending the Journal as a reputable journal. He shows that it is not closely related to the book aside from being from the same field, the study of the Klingon language. I hope you are not a nose-counter, but a closer who takes time to study this discussion, the page itself, and the related pages. I see this page as a fine addition to the Star Trek collection on Wikipedia, and hopefully, as one of only 15 blue-linked Star Trek reference books, it will avoid the pattern of Star Trek red-uniforms and escape falling into a red-link again. Thanks. Randy Kryn 00:22, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop interpreting well-meaning advice about where to find a suitable place for such writing as being told to go away. Nobody has said that you as a person are not welcome here, but we are discussing whether this article should be deleted. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 09:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My advice wasn't "mocking" or anything. Wikia is a pretty good place to keep this information. See memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/The_Klingon_Way. It allows for a much lower threshold of RS which I think is necessary for a specialised fandom encyclopaedia. I'm a fan of Harry Potter myself and for detailed descriptions of characters, I generally consult the Harry Potter wikia and not Wikipedia. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:39, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lemongirl1942. Again, it seems that the Klingon language has been recognized here and elsewhere as a legitimate language. I am not a speaker or fan of the language, or have any interest in reading or writing about it on a wikia blog, but others may, and some others will look to Wikipedia for the information. Since you are a Harry Potter franchise fan (as are we all), this would be like removing Potter pages from Wikipedia because some editors feel they do not fit, that they are not a suitable topic for an encyclopedia. My point, and a point ably discussed by the original editor, is that the Journal of the Klingon Language Institute is a legitimate and professional source, that it regards this book as canon, and as the main journal pertaining to a modern tribal-like constructed language its cites are adequate to keep The Klingon Way as an article here. Replace the word "Klingon" with "Esperanto" and this would be an easy Keep. Randy Kryn 11:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The notability of Klingon is WP:NOTINHERITED by this book. The single source is an issue. As for Esperanto and Harry Potter, WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't powerful. These are all covered above (and on your talk Randy Kryn). Widefox; talk 16:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many Potter pages have been merged/redirected, which is exactly what I am suggesting here. Most Harry Potter pages have multiple reliable third party sources describing them. That's missing here. I would have accepted the journal but I don't see any indication that is a well known peer reviewed journal. And even if I accept that, it is still one review. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Really, the best thing those who feel this article should be kept could do is provide at least one independent source that discusses the book in some detail. That would be a much more productive approach than arguing about it here. DonIago (talk) 19:35, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~weak~~ keep We've got two mainstream sources that mention it and rather specialized sources that have reviewed it.

The mentions don't count for notability. A single advocacy source isn't in line with core principles. Widefox; talk 14:03, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They do count, just not for much. For WP:N, I'm relying on the reviews. But the reviews are coming from what is, in effect, a "walled garden" of a hyper-specialized area. I prefer to see at least some impact outside of that narrow area. And mentions like the ones we have are exactly that. Hobit (talk) 15:34, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it say it counts? At WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK it says "two or more non-trivial", i.e. these trivial do not count. Explicitly. There's no walled garden, there's just no coverage. If we drop the bar for notability so low that an article requires just a single source from a non-RS journal from their own advocacy group, then that's WP:INDISCRIMINATE with no chance at NPOV etc. It's fundamentally WP:NOT. Widefox; talk 18:57, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they are "trivial mentions". They only mention it once, but in both cases, they go out of their way to do so when providing background. Certainly not hugely in-depth, but relevant none-the-less. And which of the 4 prongs of INDISCRIMINATE does this even in theory violate? In all cases, we've met WP:V, we've got a case (like it or not) for WP:N. And yes, we often weigh sources by their quality. It's not unusual for something to be kept if we've got two strong sources. It's also not unusual to keep something that has one strong source and a lot of much weaker ones. This is common practice--it's not a bright line that once you're over it counts toward WP:N and if you aren't, it doesn't. Hobit (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A trivial/passing mention isn't what you think it is. There's consensus here they are trivial/passing mentions and as we go by consensus for common practice your second point seems moot. Per INDISCRIMINATE To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Widefox; talk 13:10, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fancruft; two passing mentions in newspapers do not amount to the coverage in third-party sources required per WP:GNG.

Redirect (or possibly a selective merge) to Klingon language#Sources. The author's article is a perfectly acceptable target, but maybe the Klingon article will give readers more info about the language, which is presumably what they're seeking. There's been a lot of discussion about the sources, but I'm just not seeing how they can establish notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage by independent reliable sources, and the fact that something exists is simply not good enough for an entry in a general-purpose encyclopedia. I'm unconvinced that the Klingon Language Institute can establish notability, as it's more-or-less Okrand's fan club. It's like how half of those Transformers articles are sourced to official fan club magazines. I'm sure the fan club magazines have lots of useful info, but they can't establish notability by themselves. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as I don't buy the independence arguments. Having said that why not, given that editor opinions differ ,merge instead to the author's article?

The journal is hardly Nature, but indulging... our guideline....WP:SCHOLARSHIP says to check citation indexes. Not done. Care should be taken with journals that exist mainly to promote a particular point of view. A claim of peer review is not an indication that the journal is respected, or that any meaningful peer review occurs. Journals that are not peer reviewed by the wider academic community should not be considered reliable, except to show the views of the groups represented by those journals. (emphasis own). A shred of evidence would help any argument trying to make the claim this is an RS. Anyone done that? Widefox; talk 18:45, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BURDEN it's for those claiming the journal is a RS to reason it with that guideline when challenged, which has not been done yet. Don't think anyone disputes KLI's goal "Its goal is to promote the Klingon language and culture". Widefox; talk 10:20, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move to lead editor's user space for continued revision and redirect to Okrand in the interim ... or just delete: ~~the cited sources seem to substantiate the book's content~~ Some cited sources are self-published wikis that fail to meet WP:RS. The Irish Times article does not mention this book at all, and likewise the cited academic journal is about a different Klingon text. The article does not even assert, absent substantiation, that the book is significant -- and, I doubt substantiation for such a claim (for a niche publication over 20 years old) exists. In other words, I believe the subject fails WP:GNG. Still, if someone's interested in working on the article without a looming AfD deadline, perhaps shift it to a willing participant's user space so interested folks can continue to scour for third-party commentary at their own pace and ping the wikiproject page for feedback before a possible re-introduction as an article. Such a rewrite would need to articulate why the book matters, and not just what's inside. But, considering it's a long shot, I don't think it's appropriate for this article to linger in article spaaaaaaaace, the final frontier. --EEMIV (talk) 20:40, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge In addition to the sources above, there is a brief mention of the book in the journal of Science Fiction Studies[8]. There are also 34 hits in GScholar, and skimming a number of those indicate that this book is a good or possibly canonical source for Klingon quotes. So the book is clearly of note by a specialized subset of academic community, but I have not found any in depth commentary on the book itself. Hence the book seems to fail notability thresholds per WP:GNG. But per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, preserving verifiable material is preferable to deletion. In this case, selective merge of basic facts about the book is supported by multiple brief reliable sources and total deletion would be against policy. I think Klingon language#Sources is the best target, but the author's article would be fine, too. --Mark viking (talk) 20:53, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Pinging Miyagawa who has access to a number of Star Trek sources and may be able to shed some light on this. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was expecting to see a mention of this in Voyages of Imagination, which is the sourcebook for the fiction novels in the Star Trek universe - however, there wasn't even a mention of The Klingon Way at all. Miyagawa (talk) 15:03, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources: I've had a look through some databases, and here's what I came up with.
- A mention ("...including The Klingon Way (with recipes for Duani lizard skins and the complete lyrics to the Warrior's Anthem)...") in The Irish Times. A good source but not enough to establish notability.
- A review of the audiobook in the Calgary Herald. A good source and helps along the way to notability.
  McKenzie, Grant (January 25, 1997). "The accent's on audio". Calgary Herald. p. E15.
- A passing mention, with a general discussion about Okrand's work, in The Globe and Mail. A good source, but does not establish notability of the book.
- Similar in The Ottawa Citizen (with roughly the same article in The Toronto Star). Again; good source, but does not establish notability.
- A passing mention in Star Trek: A Post-structural Critique of the Original Series, but with a note that the book has been "embraced" by some. Possibly helpful for notability.
- Discussion on Motherboard, which seems to be from Vice Media, so a good indication of notability.
Keep, based on the sources above and in the article, especially HolQeD. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:43, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good finds, and thanks for adding the audiobook and its review into the page itself. As said before, this page has benefited by this nomination and discussion, yet maybe now is a good time to withdraw this nom. The preponderance of sources now seems to have met notability, and the tags on the page are all falling to the wayside. Randy Kryn 16:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I, for one, certainly don't withdraw my "delete" opinion. The sources offerred above are pure barrel-scraping, and don't amount to the significant coverage in independent reliable sources that we require for all subjects, including articles about topics related to Star Trek and constructed languages. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with IP editor - as passing mentions don't count for notability, several of them still don't count (n x 0 = 0). [9] is a passing mention too. Widefox; talk 23:03, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Widefox, did you read the new section on the audiobook and its review in the Calgary Herald? And that the audiobook was read by the actor who played Worf? That's notable in itself, let alone to have a major newspaper review the audiobook. It is my uninformed understanding that a main reason that pages are put on deletion review is that interested editors will then improve them. This has been done here, by several editors. As the nominator I hope that a reason you nominate pages here is that there would be saves. This does seem like a save. Randy Kryn 00:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my comment is based on these new sources. I can't verify the audiobook as I didn't find it on Google or using the info in the citation. The notability of the audiobook (not notable with ~~1 RS~~ four sentences) is NOTINHERITED from Worf or it's actor. If counting that for the book, that results in ~~1 RS~~ four sentences which is still short or GNG/NBOOK and we can't make an article about the book based on ~~1 RS~~ four sentences (and the audiobook would presumably be a related media with different code/ISBN, so is tangential and wouldn't help us build an article much). This isn't a vote and arguments based on policy/guideline have more weight. Widefox; talk 12:41, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on sources

This motherboard/Vice media source is a trivial mention. I don't see any significant coverage of the book itself.
I am unable to find a link to the review of the audio book. Can anyone provide the link? A database link would be OK as well. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. We can't base an book article on 1 RS which is for an audiobook (irrespective of being able to verify it or not). Impossible to even write a WP:PERMASTUB as it fails GNG. Per WP:Indiscriminate (above), sure we can verify it exists, doesn't pass the most basic of notability, and not enough to write an article. This is unlikely to be WP:TOOSOON as it's years ago. Widefox; talk 13:21, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Widefox: Thankfully, there is no requirement that you, Widefox, are personally able to verify the existence of a review in order for that review to count as a reliable source. It can be checked by anyone with access to Nexis; unless I am misunderstanding, you seem to be veering dangerously close to accusing me of making up the source. We now have a review of the audiobook in a broadsheet newspaper, a review of the book itself in a (weird but nonetheless scholarly) journal, and several mentions in journalistic and academic sources indicating that the book has some considerable significance for fans of Star Trek. In my judgement, that's enough. You don't have to agree with me, but it'd be nice if you tried to treat me as something other than a possibly-lying-but-clearly-deluded fool, which is definitely the impression I'm getting from you now. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And the whole "permastub" rhetoric is inappropriate, as well. There are plenty of sources which are worth citing but which nonetheless do not meet the bar for the purposes of the GNG. The Institute, the book itself and other work to which the author has contributed could all be cited. Additionally, we have the various sources third-party sources that have been listed which mention the book without being about it. I can't see the article ever being long, but it could certainly be more than a stub. Again- reasonable people can disagree, but let's not overstate our cases. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@J Milburn: I'm aware of that, which is why I added "irrespective of being able to verify it or not" meaning I don't personally need to see it to believe it's there. In your opinion the journal counts as an RS? I'm not sure where your tone is from, but it's clear my words have given you an impression I never intended. In that respect, if you reread now I've reiterated that you don't need to clarify about WP:V with me, you'll see that your comment fails WP:AGF straw-man. I do expect you to strike once you've realised this. As our guideline says such a journal is not an RS, I'm curious about your reply, and would help keep this about the sources. It only further illustrates how this needs protecting due to wild accusations. Widefox; talk 22:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it common practice to stub articles as we base on reliable secondaries? This is moot as we have only ~~1 RS~~ four sentences, but just clarifying common practice which I hardly call "rhetoric". I'm also not the only person claiming this doesn't meet GNG, or is not convinced of the sources, so I'm hardly an outlier here. Widefox; talk 22:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You've made up your mind on this article, and that's fine, but your continued patronising, belittling tone is making me quite sure I have no interest in dealing with you. I have nothing further to say. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:28, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The review doesn't count per Lemongirl942 (below). (And, that does have nothing to do with me). In the face of that assessment, the lack of sources speak for themselves for those open enough to comment on the sources rather than on other editors. Good day to you, Widefox; talk 09:59, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Audio Book review I managed to hunt down the audio book review. It is part of a 610 word column which talks about. The entire coverage about the book is here (short enough to quote per fair use)

Well, since this column seems to be focusing on accents (Irish and British), how about a little Klingon? The Klingon Way is a warrior's guide to understanding such great Klingon proverbs as "Four Thousand throats my be cut in one night by a running man." Noted Klingon language and cultural expert Marc Okrand collects the wisdom of these great warriors and has two of TV's best-known Klingons (Lt. Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation and B'Elanna Torres from Voyager) read the phrases in Klingon and explain their importance. If you've ever wanted to toss some conversational Klingon into a friendly chat, this audio will quickly have you up to speed and make you the hit of the next Trekker convention. Non-Trekkers, on the other hand, won't have a clue what they're listening to.

4 sentences is not significant coverage. Per WHYN and WP:PAGEDECIDE, I don't see a need for this to exist as a standalone article at this moment. The book hasn't received enough attention for that. My !vote for redirecting and selectively merging any content from the history stands. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:20, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:FANCRUFT. To parallel what 86.17.222.157 said, the only applicable content in the Irish Times piece is "and since then there have been a range of books, including The Klingon Way (with recipes for Duani lizard skins and the complete lyrics to the Warrior's Anthem)". There's not enough here to merit a standalone article and I'm disappointed the bar for inclusion has gotten so low. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Although the Irish Times is only one source out of many now included on the page, and it's a good source as are most of the rest, WP:FANCRUFT does not apply here. The essay states "One of the major aspects of fancruft articles is that they tend to focus entirely on their subject's fictional relevance, as opposed to their place in the real world." (boldface added). There is a real world institute academically focused on this language, there was a real world journal published by that institute, and there are real world speakers of this language. The institute, journal, and speakers apparantly consider this book canon. Randy Kryn 21:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FANCRUFT "is often a succinct and frank description... it also implies that the content is unimportant and that the contributor's judgment of the topic's importance is clouded by fanaticism." which certainly is in play here. WP:NOTINHERITED applies, too. It doesn't matter if there's a real world institute about a debatably "real" language. That they consider this book canon doesn't make the book notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:58, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think that the judgement of those of us who support keeping the article has been "clouded by fanaticism"? Josh Milburn (talk) 03:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's the only logical conclusion I can draw from the keep arguments I'm seeing. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We have discussion in an academic journal, a review in the mainstream press, and multiple mentions in the press and academic works, some of which indicate that the book is important to/for certain groups and others of which discuss the book in the context of the author's wider work. In my judgement, that's enough to support keeping an article. I'm not sure where the fanaticism enters, and neither am I sure why this discussion continues to get personal. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:01, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me if I don't take The Journal of the Klingon Language Institute seriously. The mere mentions in newspapers are just that. I don't see general notability here. I'm not seeking to make the debate personal but I cannot understand the mental contortions being performed. GNG, based on this discussion, seems to be becoming a far lower bar than I think anyone ever intended. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:47, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The journal is indexed by the Modern Language Association and cited/mentioned as a scholarly source in plenty of academic works (for example, here and here). We can have a serious discussion about its reliability and/or independence from the subject, but to scathingly/sarcastically dismiss it because it is affiliated with the Klingon Language Institute hardly seems fair. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:57, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your two examples are poor ones to use: the first is a mere mention in the discussion of invented languages and the second only says "There is a journal for the study of the Klingon language (HolQed)". Neither makes the journal notable and the journal's mention of the book doesn't convince me of GNG. In such a niche field that has very little to cover I'd posit one discussing the other is neither notable nor relevant. When The New York Times reviews the book I'll reconsider. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say that the journal was notable. All I said was that its existence as an academic journal is attested to in a number of reputable scholarly publications. You don't think that discussion of the book in this journal is of significance, I do. That's fine, we can disagree, but let's be clear about the issues at stake. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~. Merge - sorry, but after doing a bit of research, it's glaringly obvious that the article doesn't meet WP:N & WP:GNG, but as it could meet WP:NPOSSIBLE in the future, I agree that it should be merged with the author's page. I mean, the language obviously is notable, but that doesn't mean that the book (this article is about) is too. N. GASIETA|talk 21:38, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pwolit iets (talk) 01:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Stop the presses (always wanted to say that), I've come across a pretty good answer to editors who have questioned Klingon's status as a real language during this discussion (which I guess I mentally did as well, to tell the truth, but am getting to like the concept more as this delete discussion continues. It seems an interesting experiment in sound-to-symbol system evolution). Much of The Klingon Way's right to exist as a Wikipedia page seems to rest on the question that some have posed about the Klingon language, the Klingon Language Institute, and its academic journal, to paraphrase, "Is Wikipedia the right place to include articles about this made-up language, or should the acceptance and information about Klingon be left to fan-sites and blogs?". So, after this longwinded intro, and in defense of keeping our page on what apparently is one of this weird languages' canonical books, here is a sentence from our Klingon language article: "The 2003–2010 version of the puzzle globe logo of Wikipedia, representing its multilingualism, contained a Klingon character." Randy Kryn 2:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

p.s. Of the 16 languages represented on Wikipedia's historic first silver-ball logo, the Klingon letter is the one here, on the top right. I guess it might represent something close to a 'W' in Klingon. Randy Kryn, 2:23, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

New source added, an editor has added a new source] to the page, From Elvish to Klingon: Exploring Invented Languages by Michael Adams published in 2011. Randy Kryn 13:24, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a great source and worth citing in the article, but it should be noted that Okrand is one of the authors of that chapter, so it isn't as helpful for notability as it may first seem. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks, didn't know that. Yet it is at least another source, as it seems Michael Adams either edited or wrote the book, and had to both ask the author to add information to his book and also, hopefully, fact-check the author's work. The cites of the journal, to me, do establish notability, and combined with the rest should be enough to keep the article mainspaced. Especially with Wikipedia's use of the Klingon "letter" (sound? growl?) in the open-globe image from 2003 to 2010, one of only 16 languages chosen. If the main academic journal of this Wikipedia-honored language calls a book 'canon', that has got to count for something. Randy Kryn 18:42, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This league receives plenty of coverage in regional media. It is the fifth tier, comparable to the conference in England. I would note a simple search on the main Press and Journal website shows videos and match reporting which can be used to provide detailed sourced prose along with the following articles on wider events in the season:

Furthermore, I would not the following sources providing additional details

HFLHub - doesn't seem to be an official website (which is here and hosts interviews with managers an players which can be used to build out the season article.
Aberdeen Evening Express has plenty of articles such as this, this and this which provide sourced prose beyond mere match reporting that can be used in the article.
North Star News - similar to the Evening Express, general coverage of the season
Nairn County's Glenn Main: There's no big egos - we're in this together match report including interview with player on general club prospects

Not really sure how even at this early stage of the season that GNG is not satisfied, there is clear coverage across a wide range of regional newspapers that goes well beyond simple match reporting / results lists. Fenix down (talk) 08:57, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per nom, he does not satisfy the criteria in WP:NFOOTBALL, as his club only plays in a minor league and he did not play for a different club in his career. Regarding WP:GNG the only coverage of him is a passing mention of his name in local media articles about his club. Usually they are match reports with listings of everything what happens in this match including who did a corner or related statements. The rest are some mentions of him in very local non-RS ("Elgin City player welcomes New Year baby") without any substantial information. That is not enough per the notability guidelines and offers no in-depth coverage of his person at all. He therefore fails WP:GNG too and the article should be deleted.

Retarget back to the relevant section in the main page as a plausible search term. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 07:05, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but improve. The death and funeral of the father and 25-year ruler of a nation, a large one at that, is inherently an EVENT. I'd like more sources to be added to establish the subject's notability independent of the Islam Karimov's main article. My feeling is the lack of sources so far may reflect systemic bias rather than notability.--Johnsemlak (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is not lack of notability but rather that this is just a rehash of material that is already covered more extensively on the subject's main page. Content forking like this only serves to fragment information and make it harder for the reader to find. My suggestion would be to merge anything useful into the 'Illness and death' or 'Tributes and funeral' sections of the Islam Karimov article and delete (a redirect from this title isn't necessary IMO as it is an unlikely search term). If at a later date the section in question on Islam Karimov's article becomes excessively long, it can easily be split off. To be clear I am not saying it isn't notable, but that it is a content fork, and there is a much better place for this information where our readers are more likely to find it. Insert CleverPhrase Here 19:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IMO the fact that this was created in the first place makes it a plausible search term. It is also in line with the naming conventions for similar articles.---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:12, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Note page has previously been deleted. Was subsequently recreated with the exact same material. Why Chrislk02 felt it didn't qualify for WP:CSD is questionable. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:52, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. The page in question is not an article, but a resume or list of accomplishments written by the named person, who doesn't understand why it is problematic for someone to write their own article, especially in a promotional nature. I also don't understand why Chrislk02 removed the tag. 331dot (talk) 19:36, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
NOTE First of all, WP:AUTO is not a policy, it is a content guideline, which, as it says "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". The article was written better than many other articles written by external authors, and in terms of self promotion, it is no where near as blatant as many other articles. Additionally, the artists resume indicated that there was likely notability, being an internationally exhibited artist. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 21:40, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- additional note I was unaware of a previous deletion. I agree, it was written in a self promotional manner, but looking at the references, I felt it at least merited a discussion (I tend to err on the side of caution in these situations). Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 21:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it is possible to successfully write an autobiography on Wikipedia, but I don't think this is an example of that. I do thank you for and appreciate your reply. 331dot (talk) 23:49, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zackmann08 have you read carefully the references? I was using the artist template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_artist as many other artist i cited in my talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chiara_Passa If you see also this example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Arcangel you'll see an autobiographical page, reporting even personal stuff, that i've avoided talking only on MEDIA ART!

NOTE 2 keep

Chrislk02 On the previous delation... well, 3 days ago i just started to write the page - few lines - and someone delete the page while i was writing... I was not having the time to adjust online, etc. This is why i decided to edit the 'artist template' to fill offline, then paste into wiki and adjust there links, references, stuff etc. Please have a look at my talk page where i report article of some other media artist like me. There are example much more 'autobiographical' than mine. Like Chrislk02 says WP:AUTO is not a policy, it is a content guideline that i try to respect and report on the page i was writing.Chiarapassa (talk) 09:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC) Best, Chiara[reply]

Each page is judged on its own merits; the fact that others in your line of work have pages is irrelevant. This has not been suggested for deletion solely because it is autobiographical(problematic as that is; it would have been better to draft it for review at WP:AFC first), it has been suggested because it is promotional and does not clearly indicate how you are notable. It is correct that autobiographies are not prohibited, but they are discouraged, and with good reason. 331dot (talk) 08:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have evidence that other pages of those in your line of work are autobiographical, feel free to bring that up on those pages- though, in my opinion at least, that's not the primary issue here. 331dot (talk) 08:17, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot So, to be honest you'd judge also the following pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marisa_Olson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olia_Lialina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mandiberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_and_Franco_Mattes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Maltagliati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Packer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Monico and many others...that i wont cite here, I wont raise a polemic, is not my intention. But you'd know, I was inspired by their pages following the artist template and paying attention to the WP:AUTO — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiarapassa (talk • contribs) 09:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC) Chiarapassa (talk) 09:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just giving my opinion on the page in front of me, and not every page about others in your line of work. As this indicates that is a poor argument to keep a page; we are just talking about the merits of this page. I might be persuaded to change my mind if it was made much less promotional than it is now. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

so, 331dot what do you mean as self-promotional? Can you please help me to change parts of the text you see promotional? Because i haven't alluded to any promotion of 'me', just talked of some artworks (most salient) i made during 19 years (almost 20) of working interantionally in media art. Have you seen the references? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiarapassa (talk • contribs) 09:34, 19 October 2016 (UTC) Chiarapassa (talk) 09:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I regret that my time at this moment to discuss this is limited- but simply listing your work and accomplishments without prose about its context and how you are notable is nothing but a resume or personal webpage for you to discuss yourself, which is not what Wikipedia is about. 331dot (talk) 09:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

i understood that is a deontological matter and a contradiction too! So, i have to do like others colleagues i've cited. Some of them asked to others to write their pages but others write themselves the pages...Chiarapassa (talk) 15:59, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep keep she is really a pioneer in media art. And she was contributing with talks, lectures, student workshops, exhibiting more worldwide than in Italy especially in electronic art festivals and institutions. The problem here is not that the article is autobiographical - it is very well written, more than many similar other I saw - but the issue here is that she was the own writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.164.134.77 (talk) 20:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC) — 94.164.134.77 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

chiara passa is a significant artist in the digital art field and is worthy of a wikipedia entry. in particular i know her as the curator of "the widget art gallery", which has been an ongoing project for some years, well before there was anything else like this around. passa has pioneered this format, and through this project continues to support and promote many other digital artists, and deliver accessible digital art to audiences all over the world. she has made a significant contribution to the field of digital art with this project, even without considering her other work. would a solution be to have the page re-written or edited by someone else? Frock (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to rewrite the page, feel free. Autobiographies are permissible, if highly discouraged, so that's not the primary issue; the issue is that the article reads as a resume or list of accomplishments by this person. If you can rewrite it in an more encyclopedic tone, I would be interested in seeing the result. 331dot (talk) 23:59, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE If you want me to move this to the user space/draft space for work, just let me know. On the surface, while there are many problems with the article, I suspect if remedied would pass notability requirements. Just shoot me an email or leave me a note on my talk page. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 02:29, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep for sure! I am a time based art curator, I'd like to take part to the discussion even if i don't have a wikipedia account, and preferring to remain anonymous.

She is an international multi media artist working since the beginnings, well notable in the field of new media art and in truth, she is also an educator teaching since 1997 at university media art aesthetics.

I was reading on the contradiction on 'autobiographical' and the article she wrote on herself that is an autobiography but sincerely, it appear as an art autobiography must be, being not self-promotional as someone argue. She has done much more than you can see here and she wasn't reported in the wiki article, of course. I guess she try to write the main steps of her artistic research as simple as possible. She also was called from ZKM (media art museum) to take part to the international jury for "App Art Award" http://on1.zkm.de/zkm/stories/storyReader$8923 (a team of experts in art and app-artworks, so rare!) because she is one of the first artist in making art-applications for mobiles, since AppStore exists. https://the3inchcanvas.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/art-application-create-a-sculpture-on-your-phone/

In the early 95 artists starting in computer art were really fascinated by the computer as medium to make art because was a new way to interprets art. In this field she was one of first starting working, specially in Europe where computer art has remained for long time a sort of sub-cultural art practise, borderline to the art system.

Reading WP:AUTO I guess Passa's page and comparing Passa's article - i was wondering if also wiki reviewers have compared too - with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorna_Mills https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mandiberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_and_Franco_Mattes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marisa_Olson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olia_Lialina I noticed that often, all the cited artists have the same references because they took part at the same exhibitions of media art etc worldwide. So, which is the difference between the biography of chiara pssa and the others artists' biographies cited here ?

Delete, and I'm here because of a polite private email asking me to help save the article (which on the English Wikipedia is called WP:CANVASSING). Unfortunately the article is mostly sourced to 'stuff on the internet', rather than magazine/news/book reviews or other reliable independent sources. I've searched online and found this long interview, which shows Chiara Passa is beginning to get noticed, but nowhere near enough to pass the English Wikipedia WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE yet. Maybe there are news articles in Italian that we don't know about, but until reliable sources can be found, the article should not be re-created. Sionk (talk) 16:51, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE Yes, i was writing to Sionk because i thought to involve someone else with an art background, even if now I've understood in not specifically media art. I din’t knew that this action is prohibited in wikipedia. I am sorry Sionk but I disagree with what you say. In fact, If you have seen my references you found many pdf regarding offline interational magazines as LEA Leonardo Electronic Almanac, isuuu etc. and many other publications with proceedings (see my bibliography and the conferences http://www.chiarapassa.it/Artisticprofile.html scrolling down the page). You can't search on google only Chiara Passa... for exmple https://rhizome.org/editorial/2012/oct/29/gallery-your-pocket/ this is also a magazine. See the references, Venice biennale book isbn, quadriennale catalogue http://www.quadriennalediroma.org/arbiq_web/index.php?sezione=quadriennali&id=33&ricerca= and many many other...

You are still canvassing, which is a problem because you are asking people to come here to save the article(according to one person you emailed). It's one thing to ask people at the WikiProject to visit this page to offer their opinion, but it is different to ask them to give a certain opinion. Please stop canvassing and allow the discussion to take place on its own merits. 331dot (talk) 02:59, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note to 331dot Sorry but not true... i am still not canvassing! As you can see - and you can - i was contacting only 5 users that seemed to me near to the field of art to ask them to join the page and leave their opinion. Then, i haven't contacted anyone else to ask opinion- as you can see.Chiarapassa (talk) 06:37, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, for two reasons. (1) Notability. I have looked at the references, and they do not come near to indicating notability in terms of Wikipedia's guidelines. It is in the nature of artists that they seek publicity, as the whole point is to get their art seen and bought. Therefore, artists tend to have coverage in webs sites and other organisations that exist for the purpose of publicising art and artists. Likewise, an artist will be covered on the webs sites of galleries where they have exhibited, on the webs sites of artists' organisations, and of other organisations which have an involvement with the artist in question and their work. That gives widespread coverage, but not coverage in independent sources, and since any artist who wishes to be successful is likely to put work into obtaining such coverage, it is no evidence of notability. In this article, many of the references are of precisely that kind. Also, some of the references barely mention Chiara Passa (such as just including her name in a long list of names) or even don't mention her at all. Then there's a wordpress page announcing an iPhone app that Chiara Passa has "released" (whatever that means), and that is neither an independent source nor a reliable one. Nowhere is there the sort of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources that is required by Wikipedia's notability guidelines. (2) Promotion. There is no way of seeing this as a neutral article. From start to finish it is clearly written to impress us with how significant, innovative, and creative Chiara Passa is. I agree with Chrislk02 that the article is not blatantly promotional enough for speedy deletion, but it still far too promotional to be an acceptable Wikipedia article, and that can be added to the lack of evidence of notability.

It is clear that this is an attempt by Chiara Passa to use Wikipedia to get publicity for her work. I do not in any way blame her for doing so, as anyone without experience of editing Wikipedia is unlikely to have any reason for thinking that posting about oneself to publicise one's work is not acceptable, and as I have already said, artists need to seek publicity if they are to survive. However, I'm afraid that is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Chiara, I wish you every success in getting publicity for your work, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

NOTE Hi JamesBWatson how do you came here? wondering if someone has asked you to come here… Anyway, thank you for your comment, bust in my opinion, you haven’t analyzed very well and wide-range the situation. If you’ve really seen my references you noticed that are the same of the artists’ articles i’ve cited above in this discussion, because we took part at the same exhibitions and media art stuff. And the way i wrote the art-article is the same of many others cited art-articles written by anonymous or pseudo-external authors I was inspired; but all of you (except Chrislk02 that understood) continue ignoring this point.

If you suggest to delete the article i can’t do nothing to change your point of view, I know that. I am discovering helped by my sister (a lawyer) that Wikipedia with all its laws it is not so ‘democratic’ and highly discourages people writing articles in restricted fields, like for ex. in mine which is media art.Chiarapassa (talk) 12:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have drafted answers to those comments, but since they are not about reasons why this article should be deleted or kept, I shall post them at User talk:Chiarapassa rather than here. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:47, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE 2 for JamesBWatson, just to let you know that i don't work with any commercial gallery. Furtherfield gallery is a no-profit art-space since 1996, since net-art exists, and if you've seen the references, i attend media art conferences, festivals, institutions and museums but not commercial you've to know taht net art is difficult to sell but is it a grat part of contemporary art. Chiarapassa (talk) 12:20, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand that. However, whether it is commercial or not makes no difference: the point is that a web site, conference, festival, or institution that you or your work is associated with is not an independent source, and as far as Wikipedia's notability guidelines are concerned, it is not evidence of notability, whether it is commercial or not. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:51, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ADD. NOTE for JamesBWatson thank you for the explanation you gave me in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chiarapassa talkpage I am sorry to say you that you continue ignoring the point. "poor argument to keep a page" in relation to my article is not true, no more than other i've cited. In fact, My colleagues have been put less references than me.Chiarapassa (talk) 12:58, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how you can say that I "continue ignoring" the point. I explained to you that I agree with you that your article is probably no more worthy of deletion than some (or perhaps even all) of those articles, but that the fault may be not the deletion nomination for your article but the lack of deletion nominations for the others. You may agree or disagree with me, but I am at a complete loss to see how you can think that saying that is "ignoring" the issue.
The number of references is of little relevance. I have seen articles with fifty or more useless references, and articles with two good references: an article with two good references is better referenced than one with five hundred poor references. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:10, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

i've two pseudonym.. but maybe you’ve seen the references too much superficially and you haven’t noticed that are almost the same of my colleagues - as i told you - since years we took part at the same digital art shows. Ehy mathematician JamesBWatson discussion here is like two lines that never meet... obviously it's up to you! Chiarapassa (talk) 13:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you actually read what I wrote? Saying that the references are "almost the same of my colleagues" confirms what I said: it does not contradict it. I agree with you that those other articles are not better sourced than yours. That is my last attempt to make this clear: if you still can't hear what I'm saying when I say it that loud then I will probably never be able to get my point across to you. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:48, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

sorry again but i do not agree! Really Seen my selected shows? all are with references and Are the most important media-art shows worldwide. FIELD OF MEDIA ART Chiarapassa (talk) 13:33, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Instead of continually repeating "i'm really important/well known/notable in the field of new media art", you need to prove it. Wikipedia relies on proof. I am open to being convinced to change my 'vote', but I'm struggling to do so. Did any of your work/solo shows get reviews in art magazines or newspapers, for example? Have you won any awards? I can see you've exhibited internationally, in London and New York (as well as Italy) which in my view puts you above many artists (but then not everyone who works internationally is notable either). Proof will help settle the discussion.

I can see your 'Widget Gallery' has been profiled, for example by El Pais, which is at least a reliable independent news source. Sionk (talk) 16:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Serene Air

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

Fails WP:NCORP. This is an airline that is not yet certified to fly, much less has any scheduled flights. It may well be notable in the future, but for now what it has is announced intents and a plane order. Nat Gertler (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see any reason this is notable yet. After the airline starts operating, then I think there might be (some) reason for an article, but not yet. Furthermore, the official website says "Coming Soon." Thegreatgrabber (talk) ^contribs 22:32, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have created this page so it may be a bit biased but my argument is that the airline will start flying by 1st November 2016 which is less than a month away. It is better to keep the page than to delete it and remake it after 15 days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shiraz.s10 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

— Note to closing admin: Shiraz.s10 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

Keep Why not keep the page.. The Air line fleet is already seen and in a few days will start its operations. I dont also see any reason that this page should be deleted, rather the page should have all the required things on it. like the logo of the company, first 737-800 plane which is parked at Ranton atm and may be pictures of the officials and staff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.50.34.178 (talk)

— 2.50.34.178 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep -- Civil Aviation Authority has already granted Serene Air a licence so this a carrier soon commencing its operation. I've added references to the page so I hope now the airline merits an entry. --Saqib (talk) 17:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merely being in business does not automatically make a company, even an airline, notable. This was a page created by the airline (note how while just one editor had worked on it, the article was referring to the airline as "us" to promote a business that they are not actually in yet, much less notable for. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:46, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the page was created by the staff of the airline but if it is, then need to be re-written and keep a close eye so that no promotional material be added here. I guess the creator copied the text referring to "us" from airlines official FB page. And no just plane orders, the airlines has already acquired three aircrafts according to a news report and we can see the evidence in the form of images. --Saqib (talk) 17:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:CRYSTALBALLING, there's no proof that this company is or will be notable. Just because a business exists doesn't mean we automatically make and keep an article about it. Valeince (talk) 22:37, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy or otherwise hold for four days to see if it really dies fly. I feel like we are being Rickrolled. If not, Delete. Bearian (talk) 20:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. There are articles of reasonable length about the airline on the websites of several of Pakistan's leading media companies and this airline appears to be a fairly big deal in the context of that country and its air travel industry. YSSYguy (talk) 22:50, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for or at least Draft because, although it's expected this may in fact become an established airline, we cannot guarantee it as a fact therefore delete until there's the actual substance needed. SwisterTwister talk 23:59, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The significant coverage already exists, with analysis as well as straight reportage. Given the small size of the Pakistani airline industry, even if the airline fails there will likely be significant coverage as a result. YSSYguy (talk) 02:08, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Im sorry but 4 sources doesn't say "significant coverage" to me, there is no objection for re-creation when more info comes to light. My deletion is per WP:GNG, and WP:CRYSTAL on how this will be notable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bianunka people

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

Fails WP:V, suspected hoax. Google Books search returns zero hits, ditto for "bianunka" Google Scholar. The main Google Search returns only Wikipedia mirrors. IgnorantArmies (talk) 13:50, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that this is probably a misspelling of an alternative name for the Bainuk people rather than a deliberate hoax. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and edit conflict with an IP editor making the same observation). As noted, zero presence in any reliable sources for either the ethnic group or the language. Honestly, my best guess is that this isn't a hoax in the intentional sense, but a misspelling of Bainuk people that took on a life of its own. Nevertheless, I don't support a redirect, as no reliable sources use this spelling. It should be removed from the appropriate template upon deletion.

Redirect to Bainuk people. I think it is a misspelling of Bainunka, which is used as a variant of Bainuk in at least one source: Mark, Peter, and José da Silva Horta. The Forgotten Diaspora: Jewish Communities in West Africa and the Making of the Atlantic World. Cambridge University Press, 2013, p54 - https://books.google.com/books?id=Jq_BLoQLq00C&pg=PA54&dq="bainunka". Note, this is just a google books search, I don't have the entire book, and the discussion of Bainunka I saw has little to do with Judaism, I think.

Basically a CV. Biographical details largely unreferenced while other references are mainly primary sources or completely unrelated to the article subject. Lacks in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources, as required by Wikipedia notability criteria. The article creator, User:Mecorbin08, is a single-purpose account with probable conflict of interest. Citobun (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT and WP:NOTRESUME. In theory, an argument could be made for passing WP:PROF, but this breezy resume and cover letter are a hot mess, as my students used to say.

Delete. "Perhaps known more for his 32-year career in higher education administration..." is characteristic of the non-claims to notability in this article, which is full of OR and is basically a CV created by a SPA acct (with a bevy of supporting redirects). The few papers I can definitively link to him on GS are low double-digit citations. Agricola44 (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Relevant sources are nil using Google search. Subject's career consists of only small time villains in Tokusatsu, and bit parts in anime voice roles. No news coverage found, either.

Comment Other than Wiseman, there's not much to say about his anime roles. However, Tokusatsu wikiproject might find this actor notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 09:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He voices a bunch of characters in the tokusatsus. This leads me to believe he is called upon as a utility role in the series, doing villains of the week, so that's a significant role. This should be reviewed against the other stars. How many utility roles are there in the series. If he's among 20 "additional voices" then it's not that important, but if it's among 2-3 people who always appear, then his significance increases. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:31, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any honorable mentions regarding the subject? If not, the subject is not that notable. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 09:46, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Noparking9 is one of the WP:SPAs mentioned. Noparking, have you any connection with the other editors of the article? Are you connected to Miller? Billboard is about the only non-obscure publication cited, but it is only one and not an article on Miller. It just quotes his opinion, among others, on the closing of a trainline.

Delete Sources do not rise to the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. He doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. The only in-depth article is from Encore. It's mainly an interview, and Encore is just short of advertorial.JSFarman (talk) 12:56, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Interviews like that in Encore are problematic with respect to notability when there is essentially no analysis by the interviewer, making the piece neither secondary nor independent. The only other source that's more than a fleeting mention is CMJ New Music Report. Searches of the usual Google types, HighBeam, EBSCO, Gale, and ProQuest found no other reliable sources for this Heath Miller, so does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. There isn't really anything worth merging or anywhere worth merging it to, although I suppose Webster Hall could be expanded by adding "founder of Excess dB Entertainment, a concert production/promotion company" (sourced to CMJ) after Miller's name to provide context. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:13, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My extensive and specific PROD removed with absolutely no explanations therefore I still confirm since there are serious and noticeable concerns this was in fact a paid advertisement and the several different accounts show it also, which is then also not surprising everything listed here (from information to sources) is advertising. When all that can be offered as sourcing is advertising when the concerns explicitly state this is advertising is not only ignorance for the actual concerns, but it shows allowing such advertising completely damns this encyclopedia each time, risking unfixable damages.

Keep, in part (at least at the moment) per WP:NEXIST. Most articles of this sort are about recently-founded companies, often in the information technology or public relations industry. This article is about a construction company with over a century of history, and involvement in the construction of a large number of very famous structures. Now, notability isn't inherited, and my ten-minute search didn't give me any silver-bullet sources. This book (and yes, that's from a reliable publisher despite the travesty of a font they used) is probably only "trivial coverage". But it notes this company's involvement in the construction of the de Young and the Fairmont San Francisco, as well as giving us two former names for the company: first the Lindgren Company, then Swinerton and Walberg. That leads us to yet more sources. As Swinerton and Walberg, it was involved in an affirmative action court case considered an important part of California case law (see here, for example). And there are no shortage of references, as the Lindgren Company, in early 20th-century engineering periodicals, many of which I don't have immediate access to. Are some of them trivial or otherwise easily discounted? Unquestionably. But it doesn't take very many such sources, or very much media coverage of their high-profile construction work, to clear the notability bar. The current article is somewhat promotional, but not, in my opinion, irreparably so. It needs a lot of improvement; so do very many other articles. But that's not cause for deletion. Sourcing aside, I honestly have no idea what the nominator was intending by declaring the current material "not only ignorance for the actual concerns, but it shows allowing such advertising completely damns this encyclopedia each time, risking unfixable damages". This isn't unfixable, and it isn't damning the encyclopedia. It's just another article that needs more and better development from sources that aren't at the top of Google's list of links.

Keep (but stubify). I am confident that sufficient coverage in reliable sources exists to attest to the notability of this firm - they have been around for a very long time, and have done some very notable work. It is quite likely that some of those reliable sources are from the 1890s - 1940s and so not trivially discoverable by the standard "type it into Google" approach. All the same I think it's far more likely than not that the GNG could be met, so it would be illogical to delete the article. Having said that, the content is clearly unacceptable, being primarily an advertisement, and it needs severe pruning, which I will be happy to work on.

Hi, I will work to improve this piece asap. Multiple independent sources have been cited to establish notability, particularly in the Awards section. National media attention is one mark of notability for a company and that attention is referenced/cited. Although I realize "it's like other agencies' Wikipedia pages" is not a valid defense of notability, I used Covario, Performics and iCrossing as models.

Regarding the Awards section: the linked bullets are often the article titles used by third parties (e.g. the article is titled "Internet Retailer's 2010 Top500 Guide® Ranks PM Digital the Fastest Growing SEM Agency"). I will review the bullets' verbiage to change any that do not match the third party source's title to do so.

Delete per nominator. Run-of-the-mill WP:ARTSPAM with little to no encyclopedic value once you strip away the puffery. Lacks a breadth of coverage in reliable secondary sources, as required by Wikipedia policy. Many of the supposed "non-PR coverage" links that the COI editor added in response to this AfD are actually primary sources, i.e. this, are not reliable sources, or do not actually cover the subject in depth.

Thank you for your consideration. The final rationale I'll submit to this discussion is that, while it may be on the edge of notability, the article does contain non-trivial coverage of the company by multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject over an extended period of time that range from synthesis of the company's research to corporate acquisition to awards... It documents far more notable coverage than (for example) 90% of the other companies listed in sections like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_established_in_2001 If this deletion is part of a wider, more exclusionary approach to what companies are included in Wikipedia, so be it.

I'm not convinced of the notability of this person. The article has twice been deleted under A7, my CSD tag was removed from the third recreation by an IP who added some references. There still doesn't seem to be much assertion of significance other than he is the son of a rich person. All the references I can find seem to be passing mentions in relation to his father, or trivial tabloid stuff in the likes of the Daily Mail. I don't think there is enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. I would be fine with a redirect to Wang Jianlin but would prefer that it be deleted first.

With respect, The refs are good. I just added another Forbes ref that spends two or three paragraphs discussing his company Prometheus capital. He is apparently famous in China, but I do not read Chinese. The CHinese editor who started the article is ading refs so this may perhaps help. There is a huge abundance of sources here that clearly deterine notability. BBC Interview, Forbes, Bloomberg profile. Yes he is the son, but on his OWN he has reveived a huge amount of press, both as a business person and as the "face of" the fuerdai-- the overly moneyed second generation children in China. Gross, tyes, but also notable. To simply reject him as the son of a rich person is to ignore the significance of this person, and to place your own personal prejudices against "rich kids" at the fore.The discussion should be added to the China -related discussions.

Pretty brief coverage - count how many sentences are actually about the subject. Notability on Wikipedia is different from notability in general. On Wikipedia it is simply a measure used to determine if the information is covered in a new article or if it can be covered somewhere else. The article (in its current form) is essentially a WP:PSEUDO.

Coverage doesn't guarantee notability - the quality of coverage matters. Simply because Xinhua rebuked a guy (for being a millionaire's son and making those remarks) doesn't make the person notable. Also Xinhua is a potentially unreliable source. Good quality secondary coverage is something like this. It summarises the subject's achievements. The quality of sources you are providing is either brief coverage in context of something else or tabloidy news. Please also see WP:NOPAGE - we don't create a new article unless the coverage about the subject is so large that it cannot be covered elsewhere. If we remove all the WP:UNDUE parts, all we are left is that he is the son of the millionaire and he also owns a company. That can easily be mentioned in the article of his father. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As to depth established by sources, it is perfectly acceptable to have multiple sources to establish coverage. Together the sources talk about his family, birth, birthplace, education in philosophy in London at UCL, lifestyle transgressions, response by both national and international media, social media popularity, founding of a venture capital company, its numerous investments and his investment and opening of a half-billion dollar hotel. This biogrphical depth (even though depth is not necessarily required in sources) is certainly more than cursory. Many diverse sources, all of which are reliable, high-quality sources, establish notability here. The articles in publications such as Xinhua, Financial Post, Foreign Policy, Forbes, National Post, the BBC interview and many many others all take Wang Sicung as the main subject, rather than being about him being uniquely his father's son. 104.163.141.133 (talk) 12:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:INHERIT. Cabayi (talk) 13:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OK, I have gone through and reviewed all the sources that have been added to the article. There's a lot so I will leave my comments under the hat below. In general I will note that nearly all of them refer to him or qualify him as the son of China's richest man. This is a clear indicator to me that he is not notable in his own right. As I said in my nomination, most of the coverage is trivial. If we only use the information in these sources, the majority of the article will be about a rich guy with lots of follows on the internet who likes to waste money on his dog and likes women with large chests. I am not seeing the significant in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources needed to meet WP:GNG or to avoid a BLP full of trivia and WP:UNDUE material.

Keep This guys seems to get a good amount of coverage, and his own business ventures give him more notability than whatever he had for just being a trust fund kid. WP:NONENGLISH sources undoubtedly exist as well.--Prisencolin (talk) 07:24, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Salt (repeatedly started and deleted twice) by all means as there has been large and noticeable amounts of PR advertising intentions and along with the noticeable activities to show it, none of this article has anything actually amounting to substance and the persistence of such claims that "there's sources or he must perhaps be notable" is not what convinces an article; several safety measures exist for this such as WP:ADVERTISING, WP:DEL14, WP:IAR (advertising once again) and WP:NOT, all which show we can actually choose to delete an advertisement if it also is non-notable and is causing damage by existing and being kept.

- Don't get me wrong, this guys sounds like a total prick, but notability isn't based on whether we dislike or like certain people or things. It's clear the amount of coverage he has is well above he bar for WP:GNG. Such sources include South China Morning Post, Sina.com, Sydney Morning Herald, Xinhua (not political news so should be RS), Business Insider, The Irish Times, and an interview with the BBC. WP:NOTINHERITED refers to a subject having WP notability without satisfying GNG or other requirements. People are famous for being famous and that's just something we've got to accept.--Prisencolin (talk) 22:17, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Coverage of People who have inherited money and are notable only for extensively covered by the press on that account are usually not of encyclopedic importance--The relevant principle is NOT TABLOID often expressed as "famous for being famous" In cases where there is specific notability for something real, this is not applicable, nor does it apply when coverage reaches an extraordinary level. I have almost never ~voted to accept articles like this, but reading it, I think that this is one of the exceptions. For one thing, there's his real business interests--where he got the money for them is not relevant. DGG ( talk ) 00:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is, of course, at its heart, a human interest story. He is at least no less notable than Bo Guagua, but in the popular consciousness of ordinary Chinese people, a lot more notorious. That he is the son of a famous tycoon is besides the point - he creates his own notoriety, much as the Kardashians create their own; there are many children of rich people who do not behave in eccentric enough ways to warrant the media attention given to them. That his notability (independent of his father) is reported in numerous reliable, reputable sources should have made this a SNOW close, let alone a lengthy drawn out discussion. I can see Chinese editors crying "systemic bias" if we somehow deleted this article while an article on Tiffany Trump would never even be put on the chopping block. Colipon+(Talk) 12:51, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep an interesting and well written article that gives readers a window into life in China. It currently has 31 references - surely that’s a lot?

As I noted above, most of these references are trivial mentions and tabloid like material that do not indicate notability. Also, this is the state of the article when I tagged for speedy deletion.

Seems like pure WP:NOTNEWS. A politician mentions a hypothetical scenario, this gets coverage because the proposed scenario is so weird, but it doubtful anyone will mention it ever again. This is simply the case of media covering an aspect of a politician's speech, but it is unlikely the speech itself is notable, and the concept - even less so. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:53, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lech Wałęsa. The actual content of this entry belongs in the section "Lech Wałęsa#Post-presidency" for the year of 2013. The coverage in the media of what he said in 2013 was substantial, but this isn't real. Poeticbent talk 13:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Poeticbent. Wałęsa's statement received some attention, and (while respecting due weight) it bears mention in his article, but there's absolutely no independent coverage of this fantasy-future nation as a concept separate from him. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:29, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If there were any genuinely serious organized campaign of trying to make this happen, then it would probably warrant an article — but if all we've got is one politician spitballing in one speech, then there's no need for a standalone article about it. And the unlikely event that any significant number of readers was actually looking for this, they'd already know who said it and look for it in his BLP before expecting a separate article — so I just don't see what purpose a redirect would actually serve.
