Keep – This is getting a huge amount of coverage - this is more than just "news." And it was not a "random" attack - the suspects are being charged with committing a hate crime. The fact that it was livestreamed on Facebook also makes it notable. Bk33725681 (talk) 00:28, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – per coverage. per unusual case of reversed hate crime. good sources. has received attention world wide.--BabbaQ (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In no way notable here. The article is a blatant advert and full of weasel words, such as distinguished expert in the IT field and manages key integration projects. His is not a notable subject. WP:BASIC, the basic criteria for all biographies needs multiple, secondary reliable sources about the person.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Unable to find sources that are in-depth about the service. Not to be confused with "Asianetnews.tv" which comes up in search.

Delete: Per nom. GauchoDude (talk) 13:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete poorly sourced neologism article with significant WP:OR content. Monkey testing has a referenced article, and RS coverage. 'Gorilla testing' has a few mentions in books (1 2 3) and numerous hits for low quality blogs, Q/A sites, and forums. Overall, it looks like Gorilla Testing is borderline in coverage for having its own article, but there is definitely not enough RS coverage comparing the two systems for a comparison article.Dialectric (talk) 13:18, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cadence Goes To The Library

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

Book published last year; the only thing it's notable for is that it's written by a 6-year-old. No third-party references, very few Google hits. (The external links are: the Facebook page of the author, and a magazine which does mention the book in a 2-sentence "review"/blog entry [1].) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No signs of notability. Beyond the Moon Magazine doesn't appear reliable at all. Grayfell (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's wonderful that someone so young has written and published a book (regardless of whether or not it's vanity or self-published), but ultimately there just isn't anything out there that would establish notability per WP:NBOOK. I wish her well, but right now this is just WP:TOOSOON for her work to have an entry. Since it's likely that the young lady or someone in her family is reading this, I'd like to ask that they not take this poorly - it's very, very difficult for most books to gain an entry on Wikipedia and we have books put out by very, very well known people that don't pass NBOOK. Shucks, I've even seen books land on national bestseller lists that have failed NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:28, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P. Shane Mitchell

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

NN performer/director/playwright. Active primarily in Alaska with minor local coverage through play reviews in the local paper. Ref #1 (Anchorage Press) review mentions he is the director. Ref #2 is a dead link. Ref #3 doesn't mention him. Ref #4 (Anchorage Daily News) about two short plays entered in a competition. One is by the subject. About five sentences are about Mitchell. The Wikipedia article mentions some obscure awards that are included in the Pioneer Drama Service external link. There is this Prince William Sound College conference which list him as receiving an award in 2010. I found nothing additional in searches that was helpful. Mostly different people with the same name. Not enough coverage for WP:N. Doesn't satisfy WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE. Gab4gab (talk) 20:59, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Theatre-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep I know, you know but I got to say I have a very strong feeling this guy is notable, if it has nothing to do with theater. For what it's worth, I'll put a "I'm on it, I'll get to it" on making necessary improvements on this article per WP:WHOAUPNELLY.
"There are various reasons why one cannot immediately edit one or more pages as they should be in order to enable it to meet certain standards, or even to prevent it from being deleted. If an editor states his/her intentions to make some improvement, but that more time is needed for any reason, this should very much be respected."
If you need a reason, for starters I think this has all the makings of one of the finest articles on Wikipedia. And watch out for that guy with the NAAK injector. He's not the only one doing it, either. Better get yourself some kevlar shorts! Keep your back to a wall. - 55378008a (talk) 09:58, 6 January 2017 (UTC) User has been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits[2]--Calton | Talk 06:26, 12 January 2017 (UTC) [reply]

Delete. If an editor states his/her intentions to make some improvement, but that more time is needed for any reason, this should very much be respected I tagged this article eight years ago for notability concerns, and it hasn't really improved. That's because he's not notable, even going by the very thin sources used to inflate his resume, so another eight years isn't going to help. --Calton | Talk 05:34, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of proposed geoengineering schemes

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

The page is a list that is largely redundant with both Category:Geoengineering and List_of_geoengineering_topics. It adds little or no further information. By presenting this information as a list, it implies that these various proposals are roughly equivalent. In fact, the proposals vary so widely in their means, possible results, and current understanding of costs, feasibility, and risks that such a presentation is arguably misleading. Along these lines, it is notable that almost nothing has been added in the four years since the page was previously proposed for deletion, although the evidence and discussion of various geoengineering proposals has moved forward and further differentiated the proposed means. The list also obscures the fact that many of these proposals may or may not be geoengineering depending on one's definition thereof. Such context is provided by the primary pages such as Climate_engineering , Solar_radiation_management , and Carbon_dioxide_removal. Jesse L Reynolds (talk) 08:22, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

--Relisting. Jesse L Reynolds (talk) 11:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I offer no opinion of my own on the nomination itself at this time. @Jesse L Reynolds: for future nominations, please fully follow the procedures at WP:AFDHOWTO. --Finngall ^talk 20:08, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it is normal (more or less inevitable) for a list to overlap with a category, but as the list is cited and the category isn't, the list certainly has added value (even ignoring the fact that few readers browse categories). On the supposed overlap with List of geoengineering topics, that list is uncited, and names only 16 types of scheme. Given the clear notability of the topic and the fact that the list is properly cited, I should have thought it an obvious keep. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The revised result was Keep. No sources of sufficient independence have yet been added to demonstrate that this person meets the WP:GNG guidelines. However the original nominator has been blocked and may have had ulterior reasons for the nomination.

Does not appear to pass WP:GNG; nothing else here that seems to show him as notable. Being involved in someone else's book appears nothing more than WP:COAT; similar issues in how the R&D100 (a non-notable award) is described. I looked for better sources and cannot find any. If this article stays, someone should remove the WP:PEACOCK stuff, eg. "which still to this day is considered the finest product of its type in the world"; in reference to his brand of beach blankets. YesMovementEtTU (talk) 18:28, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article's subject has had a critical (and WP:GNG notable) role in developing many household brands including: HSN Direct, National Lampoon, Ab Isolator and EZ Krunch (As Seen on TV), etc.. Subject and businesses also known in relevant industries. Subject consulted Kevin Trudeau to publish content over creating products leading to "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" and an FTC/1st Amendment Rights controversy, which does not fit WP:COAT. R&D100 Award is a recognized 50+ year old accolade from R&D Magazine with many available references complying to WP:GNG; government institutions recognize and promote won awards^[1]. Agree with WP:PEACOCK, but more suitable for editing than deletion (which has been updated as of 7 January 2017).Designaco (talk) 05:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC) — Designaco (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment: Most of the sources added do not represent an understanding of WP:RS, and much of the puffery remains. I still see no reason this is not mere spam. No significant in-depth sources exist despite the cite kill effort. YesMovementEtTU (talk) 06:13, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Could you provide specific citation and puffery examples? Added references include links to actual patents and license agreements, appropriately dated WSJ and NYT articles, a detailed IMDB profile, direct links to awarding websites, and appropriately dated articles featuring quotes from the subject. Because there was no initial request for needed citations second tier sources to press releases were also included to accommodate the claims made in the creation of this nomination. Additionally, explicit puffy content was removed and assumptions of success were limited to referenced articles (ex: a Multi-Week NYT Best Seller would be considered successful to the masses, but there are books with hundreds of weeks on the list). Designaco (talk) 07:07, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read WP:RS in order to see why many of the items you just cited are invalid. YesMovementEtTU (talk) 20:54, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Could you also expand on your belief that the article is not notable and primarily spam, so much so that it requires deletion? For example, do you have specialized knowledge in the related industries to bolster your claims of lack of notability or specific excerpts from the article that you believe serve only as spam and not qualify as a qualifying feature of a notable individual in their relevant industry? Designaco (talk) 07:07, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As the reasons for nomination have been addressed and the article amended, specifically concerning notability, I'd like to request that the article be marked as a speedy keep. Additional claims made have no referenced elements and do not qualify for article deletion; instead they can be discussed and modified on the live article and prevent having this discussion go stale. However, if you would like to include additional comments, I'd be happy to provide feedback or further edits. Designaco (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your additions were removed for containing copyright violations. No changes have been made that still remain since the nomination. And though you continue to assert that non-RS sources should make someone notable, unfortunately that just isn't true. I think you may benefit from spending some time learning about Wikipedia's rules as it appears your additions break with many of them. YesMovementEtTU (talk) 00:25, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Many changes have in fact remained, particularly the citations. Content that was removed or need better sources can continue to be discussed on the page as Wikipedia articles are living, breathing documents. As a new user, I'm sure there's a culture and set of rules I'm not fully proficient in. Fortunately, Wikipedia is also a community built resource with the primary goal to provide accurate and relevant information to those who search for it. I have no intentions of being a wiki-hobbiest, but as a web developer, I work for a number of clients that depend on their profiles and don't have the skill set or time to learn the intricacies of Wikipedia.

While I've only had a few days to learn the Wikipedia policies, I am confident that the article does not qualify for deletion. Feel free to mark as keep after the typical 7 days has gone by, otherwise I can proceed to take the additional steps to have an admin mark as keep or review the closing of the article. Designaco (talk) 01:44, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note. YesMovementEtTU and Designaco, you have both commented enough on this page. I have reverted your latest comments, which have become distracting to a normal discussion of whether the article meets Wikipedia notability guidelines.

I would ask that you observe WP:CIVIL. Calling this nomination "absurd" again and again does not show how Ramet meets the WP:ACADEMIC criteria.

Owen (talk) 21:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the editor signing "Quis separabit?" could have worded things a bit better, but would also point out that notability is an attribute of the subject of the article, not of the article as it currently stands. I'm rather shocked that such a long-standing administrator doesn't understand that fundamental point about the way that Wikipedia works, and, if I could be bothered, would make a proposal that admins should have to go through reconfirmation after a number of years. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:09, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jonah Mungoshi

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

The only notable fact is his being, once, in the Guinness Book of World Records. The article probably does not qualify for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#G4 or WP:CSD#G11, although one could make a case. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This autobiographical version is much more promotional than the previously-deleted version, but better referenced . However, few of the refs are to reliable sources. The BBC article is all about Jonah, as is the SMH article (via AFP) and he gets a passing mention in The Herald article about his family.
Possible WP:BIO1E issues, but getting close to GNG. If kept, it needs massive pruning of all the self-promotion. However, the Herald article notes that the Mungoshi family is a fairly notable dynasty. Is there perhaps scope for merging this into a Mungoshi family article? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
See also CFD of a slew of categories created for this article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:28, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is an WP:AUTOBIO which doesn't really make any claim of notability strong enough to justify overlooking the conflict of interest issue. And furthermore, the subject also self-created a whole bunch of non-defining "keyword" categories ("African team building facilitators"? "Zimbabwean success coaches"?) that exist only to contain him because there's no extended category tree to parent them — which makes it even more clear that the intent here was advertorial rather than encyclopedic. There might in fact be more legitimate grounds for an article, per BrownHairedGirl above, but WP:TNT pertains — even if a proper article can be written neutrally and independently by somebody other than the subject himself, we're still better off starting from scratch than we are trying to fix this as written. Bearcat (talk) 18:30, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Legacy Fighting Championship and Resurrection Fighting Alliance are reportedly merging to become Legacy Fighting Alliance. It's not clear to me that either of these organizations have the coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG. Coverage appears to be dominated by routine sports reporting. A possibility is to combine RFA and LFC into a new article with redirects from both names. Of course, another possibility is to delete both articles. At this point, I don't really have a strong preference and also prefer not to get involved in this type of MMA discussion. Papaursa (talk) 03:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The article is reasonably well-sourced, so the main issue here is WP:SYNTH. I don't really see either argument being clearly stronger than the other, so it looks like an issue where people will just have to agree to disagree. I do note, however, that the people voting to delete, merge, or redirect are significantly more numerous than the people voting to keep, so a proposed merge into Culture of Canada or Canadian identity would not be out of order.

Canadian values

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

Delete. WP:ESSAY which synthesizes a bunch of discrete issues -- publicly-funded institutions, same-sex marriage, gun control, the hijab, etc. -- to advance an original research definition of a phrase that happens to be newsy right now. But for one thing, a big part of the reason it's newsy right now is because nobody knows exactly what Kellie Leitch means by it -- and for another, the whole values argument actually kind of undermines itself because respect for difference, IOW respect for people's right to hold different values as long as they're not harming others in the process, can also be identified as a "Canadian value" (e.g. while SSM is certainly the law of the land in Canada, there are still people in this country who identify themselves more strongly with "traditional" religious values that oppose SSM -- but as long as they're not actively discriminating against LGBT people or firebombing LGBT-owned businesses, they're allowed to hold whatever personal beliefs they like.) For another, the barbaric cultural practices slash niqab alarmism of the 2015 election actually backfired, resulting in the election of a government that pledged to increase the number of Syrian refugees being accepted for settlement in Canada -- and the Quebec Charter of Values, similarly, was killed by the PQ government's defeat in the most recent Quebec provincial election (and anyway, that bill tried to legislate Quebec values, not pan-Canadian ones). I'll grant that it's a "controversial issue", but a central part of the controversy is the fundamental problem of even defining what the term means in the first place -- which means that a neutral encyclopedia that relies on outside sources and prohibits original research cannot presume to define it.

Delete - Many of the items listed lack a source identifying them as a "Canadian Value," and there is a major dearth of sources that actually define and discuss what "Canadian values" are with any kind of authority or certainty. I believe this should be redirected to Culture of Canada, in the same way that American values directs to Culture of the United States. Even if it can be reliably sourced, there's no agreement among sources (or in general) about what Canadian values are or aren't. Left alone, the article is will just become a battleground-y quagmire of poorly sourced SYNTH/OR. Until a large number of very reliable sources agree that "Canadian values" are a thing, and agree on what exactly they are (which will very likely never happen), we shouldn't have an article on this. Fyddlestix (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom and agree with User:Fyddlestix. Serious POV quagmire! Even the very selection and/or omission of certain sources and references is highly POV. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 18:47, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Culture of Canada as {{R with possibilities}}. There is potential for an encyclopedic article on this, but what that would be (i.e. sourcing to reliable sources specifically discussing Canadian values) is so far away from what this article is (i.e. this what some majority of Canadians believe, so it's a Canadian value, minority viewpoints aren't Canadian values) that WP:TNT applies. This is WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS to lump these various views into an article on "Canadian values". ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 19:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Definitely WP:OR, bits and pieces of this can be placed into articles about Canadian culture, certainly. South Nashua (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I agree with Patar that there is some potential for encyclopedic coverage here, it would be exceedingly difficult. "Values" are poorly defined, subjective, and, to an extent, aspirational (e.g. who we want to be, or ideally be, rather than who we are). Culture, on the other hand, is more straightforward to cover, as it looks at extant things (popular music, cuisine, lit, etc.) that reflect our aspirations. Anything saveable here would be better in the culture article. The Interior (Talk) 20:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Culture of Canada, or delete and WP:SALT. If deleted, I'm concerned that the subject article could be re-created. I agree with Bearcat's analysis of the problem with the WP:SYNTH issues with the topic, and that it would become a magnet for editors who want to use it for Wikipedia:SOAPBOX purposes/editing.

Redirect to Culture of Canada, or delete and WP:SALT (per PK). I used WP:WPCleaner to copy edit it a little but realised it was probably a waste of time... The name did seem dubious. (Which iz how I'm here.) I checked British values (which is a far more widely-used term) and even that redirects to the Britishness article—an article about a well-established and much-discussed quality. We could save anything worthwhile and move it to more appropriate articles but most seems WP:SYNTH and generally OR — Iadmc ♫^talk 21:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic has been sufficiently written about at least since Martin Seymour Lipset's comparison of Canadian and U.S. values. Canadian experts such as Gad Horowitz and George Grant have also written about it. It has been used to explain such things as why Canada retains a monarchy, has developed major socialist parties, encourages multiculturalism, accepts refugees, participates in peacekeeping, and has publicly supported religious schools. Of course one can argue what they are, whether the country has any shared values, or whether these values are good or bad. Although values are part of the culture (See Culture of Canada), that topic includes the arts, sports, cuisine, and folklore. Justin Trudeau's recent remarks have brought the issue into public debate: "There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. There are shared values — openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other, to search for equality and justice." TFD (talk) 20:24, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article has indeed been substantially improved, and content disputes are not dealt with by deleting the article anyway. Joefromrandb (talk) 00:51, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Culture of Canada or into Canadian identity; i.e. add a section about Values in one of those articles. IMHO. Peter K Burian (talk) 23:39, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The term "Canadian values" is used by Canadian journalists, academics and politicians. Deletion of the article will merely deny Wikipedia readers information regarding how the term is being used. It is preferable to have readers learn how the term is being used and make up their own mind regarding whether Canadian values exist and what those values are. "Canadian values" are a different concept than Culture of Canada, which deals with arts, sports, cuisine. WSDavitt (talk) 01:38, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think this is an article that I could ever read, no matter how well sourced, and feel that it is based on anything solid. "Canadian values" are obviously not shared by all Canadians, so what is the threshold for it to be included here? 50% or more of Canadians have this value? What about the millions of Canadians who don't share these values? I agree with previous comments about it being WP:SYNTH and possibly WP:OR. This seems better suited as an essay or an opinion piece, not a Wikipedia article. Air.light (talk) 23:36, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are "Canadian values" a topic of interest for an encyclopedia. It is of interest to many scholars in several countries, and to most of the major parties & prime ministers of Canada--they indeed write and give major speeches and shape foreign & domestic policies as if Canadian values are important to Canada.

non-notable footballer A real youth player but hoax career. despite repeated news from Africa and Nordic claimed he made his debut in France in a cup match, the opponent don't even exist. (No French source support it either) Seem the player is real but his agent (or himself ) try to rescue his career by keep giving hoax to news outlet to support his non-existed move to Wigan, to Spain, so that Crotone and the Croatian side really offered him contract (supported by fccrotone.it and UEFA.com) in that nature, I doubt that although Soccerway and footballdatabase claimed that he played for Finnish side Inter Turku in January 2014 in a cup match, no real match report (nor any .fi website) support that. Lastly, Maltese League is not a fully professional league. Even this deletion is failed, please consider lock this page to higher protection as I doubt there is only one sockmaster editing (two IP from Nigeria and Senegal, and two users. )Matthew_hk t c 16:15, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the problem of this player were repeated news articles from Africa and Nodric that claims he made his debut in XYZ place, for example in France but no French source to support it, in Croatia but no Croatian source to support it, in Finland but no Finnish source support it (I find the TPS match report from official site but they only kept the lineup of themselves but not Inter) For Egypt, please find an Arabic source to support not a Gambia source due to repeated hoax on the same player.

Moreover, the Gambian sources quoted transfermarkt to referencing his Egypt club stats. which Wikipedia long considered as a less notable / reliable source as it was community based. Freely to dig out actual match report. Matthew_hk t c 17:08, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Skill set

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

Maybe this could become something eventually, but I worry that the topic is too broad to ever be fully fleshed out.

South Nashua (talk) 12:37, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator says that they are on the fence so I'm not seeing a case to answer. The topic is analysed in detail in sources such as this and so it passes WP:SIGCOV.

Keep A highly noteable concept. Skill sets are clearly distinct from skills, and have their own meta properties. Similar to swarms which have properties you don't find in any of the individuals that compose them. I understand the noms concern about this being a broad topic, but looking at the article for Swarms I see we have just one, not a collection of different articles for bee swarms, fish swarms etc. It's probably more efficient to have just one article for skillsets, which can later be developed to have sub sections for the skillsets needed in different fields of work. FeydHuxtable (talk) 14:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep As a HR concept it is of the highest importance. From a general point of view, youngsters are always being advised to expand their skill set, by employment consultant with out either of them knowing what a skill set is. May be this was not a concept that was familiar to those of us who grew up in a fairer world but if you are an unemployed graduate in a post-truth society, WP is where you go to find out the nuances of what you have been asked to expand. There is one gifted admin on wiki who is waiting at tables because employer fail to understand the skill set he has developed at WP, and there is now only this article he can link to- it need rapidly to be worked up rather than deleted. Articles start as stubs and then are worked up. Now having expressed my opinion as I was asked to in a banner: quo vadis.

Nice work, but Wikipedia isn't a HOW TO or LinkedIn suggestion box. As for the "Wikipedia specialists" section, delete, navel-gazing, and the "skill sets within sectors" section is nothing but patronising or original research or worse. Skill set of a graduate? Ability to serve a burger? Skill set of a civil servant? Ability to push paper? Skill set of a politician? Ability to lie? This isn't encyclopedic in any sense. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Smile: Skill set of a politician? Ability to lie?- all you need is a reference and you could add that to the article. So did try a little googling - I was overwhelmed by possibilities- the first dozen from notable sources. Can I add {{main|Machiavellianism}} to the subsection? ClemRutter (talk) 09:02, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This would not be a good fit for merging to the skill article as that is about the concept of skill, and the concepts of different types of skill, all considered individually. This article is about combinations of skills, how they differ in different people, how the sets desirable for different roles differ (and how the expected and actual desirable skill sets differ), and how matches and mismatches between the combinations of desirable and actual skill sets in various situations. As noted, these are fundamental to the field of human resources (and it's very likely there are academic studies on all of this and how such understanding relates to successful businesses, etc). Also a big trout to the nominator for this waste of time and effort - if you aren't sure whether something is suitable for Wikipedia the first step is learning more about the topic, the second step is discussing it on the talk page or with a relevant WikiProject. Articles for deletion only becomes the correct step when you are certain the article should be deleted (the clue is in the name). Thryduulf (talk) 13:41, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion/Pooja Sharma (TV actress) (2nd nomination)

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

This article in not looking like a article in wikipedia it's looking like a article instead it's look like a praise letter. She had never done any successfull TV series as a protogonist. She has done only one popular serial that is Diya aur Baati hum but in this show her role as antagonist was only for few days. This atticle repeatedly violates WP:NPOV and does not meet even WP:BIO. So I think this article should be deleted. Ishi2345 (talk) 18:12, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Agree with the nominator about violating Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Notability (people) . I read the whole article and its seriously looking like a compliment letter to boss but when I try to find out about the actress's life I don't find any notable work in internet. The article try to portray her as a epic heroine like Helen in Troy. But in reality she didn't done any single notable work. So I think this article should be deleted. Ominictionary (talk) 15:59, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The actress is completely non-notable. She had done only one series as protogonist which was stoped because of law trp rating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vividha23 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As a main contributor of this article I am trying to address the issues relating to WP:NPOV and WP:BIO raised by above editors. To make the article more 'neutral' and fit for Wikipedia it is rectified and improved. Further the editors are requested to edit if necessary. Regarding 'notability' of the article subject, I want to inform the editors that she had done - Ruk Jaana Nahin - run successfully for about 1 year (19 December 2011 - 23 November 2012) and Tu Mera Hero - run successfully for about 1 year (22 December 2014 - 14 November 2015). Her performances as 'main female protagonist' in Ruk Jaana Nahin and as 'main female antagonist' in Tu Mera Hero were liked very much by the people. She also acted for the difficult role of a weird character in Diya Aur Baati Hum successfully although the role is short and of some days. Over and above these she had done 'lead role' in 12 episodics (Short film like TV show of about 45-50 minutes) for different TV channels. She is very versatile actress and has been entertaining TV audience since 2010 till date. Many reliable and independent Indian Newspapers like 'The Times of India', 'The Hindu', 'Indian Express', 'Tribune India', 'Zee News', 'ABP Live', etc. and TV Magazines like 'Tellychakkar', etc. made coverage of the events relating to her. The editors are requested to refer to the inline citations and references given for the article. Based on the above clarifications, I would like to request the editors to reconsider their decision and withdraw the nomination of the article for deletion.--Teampoojasharma (talk) 20:18, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ Her serial Ruk Jaana Nahin was never successfull the serial was stopped because of law trp for more information check this link :-http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/ruk-jaana-nahin-go-air-khamoshiyaan-get-early-evening-slot. The serial never did well. Tu Mera Hero was also not a successfull serial at the first place it was doing good but after that it also failed to impress audiance. By the way we are not for to discuss which serial was hit or flop we are here discussing about the actress's notablity. Whatever Teampoojasharma (talk) 20:18, 9 November 2016 (UTC) gives as reference that all are gossip column nothing reliable source. Ishi2345 (talk)[reply]

@ Everything once started is to end but it matters how long it stays. TRP of the show mentioned in the above referred link is what happened after running about 1 year. 1 year is a long period. TRP of a show depends on many factors. Here we are discussing about the actor not the show. Basic Criteria of Notability (People) of Wikipedia says - 'People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.'. The coverage given on the actress by the reliable and independent sources as cited in the article itself (some of the sources are mentioned above in my previous comment) may be considered. I think reliable source means the Newspapers or Magazines, not the column and every content is a part of these sources. --Teampoojasharma (talk) 23:04, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:- Probably non notable because I don't find any information about her in google if I search about her name always showing up some other actress called Pooja Sharma not any information about this one. In this view I can take her as non-notable so delete it.Tupur16 (talk) 17:48, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ Even if we do not find a targeted person on internet in the first search giving name only, the person may be found when searching by adding more query items relevant to the person. (e.g. in this case Pooja Sharma with Ruk Jaana Nahin, Tu Mera Hero, etc.) The conclusion of only the person found on internet in the first search giving name only is notable, but the other persons of the same name are not notable may not be right. As mentioned in my previous comment, Wikipedia has its own Criteria of Notability (People). Wikipedia solves such conflict through Disambiguation Pages as different persons of same name may be notable to include in Wikipedia. --Teampoojasharma (talk) 14:50, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with WP:NPOV raised by the editors above. The subjects also fails WP:GNG. No reliable coverage outside gossip columns about the subject itself that are not promotional in nature.

Delete WP:POLITICIAN falls under WP:ANYBIO which still requires WP:SIGCOV in multiple reliable sources. Even WP:POLOUTCOMES still states they need to meet our notability guidelines. In doing my WP:BEFORE search I found some of the sources Bearcat found which I verify they're an elected official, but what I'm not seeing is coverage in reliable sources. I'm inclined in this case to opt for delete without prejudice for recreation if it can be demonstrated that this individual does meet GNG. Mkdw ^talk 07:04, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To put this in context, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha has a population of 7,729. So we're talking about the deputy speaker of a 15 person legislative assembly. I don't think we can automatically assume OUTCOMES on this one because this seems like an outlier example. Mkdw ^talk 07:10, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jumping in this thread, I believe there should be a presumption of official government sources as reliable. The largest concern of official government sources is that of self-publication. At the same time, there ought to be a recognition that an official source not only produces many of the facts that third-party sources rely upon, but must be trusted for certain information - as in this case, the list of current law makers. In this subject's case, there is third-party coverage (see here). - --Enos733 (talk) 05:58, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So then what's the arbitrary population cutoff above which we grant a legislator an automatic presumption of notability because legislator even if the sourcing isn't actually in the article yet (which we most certainly do routinely do), and below which we suddenly don't anymore? Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be in favour of assigning an arbitrary population cutoff because I also don't support the presumption of notability without significant coverage. OUTCOMES, an essay, already states articles should be judged by their own merits. I prefer to continue to use GNG, a pillar policy, and search for sources to inform my opinion at AFD. When that search turns up next to nothing, then for the sake of AFD arguments, I'm simply noting that the relative scale of this subject may be a contributing factor to this reason. I also don't see anything special about this individual or situation that we would want to invoke the exception to the rule. If there's a consensus to keep this article with the knowledge that this person does not meet GNG, that is the right of the community to do so, but it's not a consensus I'm in favour of in this particular instance. Mkdw ^talk 05:29, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - interesting query by Bearcat. Is there an arbitrary limit to which self-governing colonial entities are considered so small that they are de facto local governments? Bearian (talk) 16:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep WP:NPOL, which is not the same as WP:POLOUTCOMES, specifically states that "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature" are notable. There is nothing which says that the territory has to be over a certain arbitrary size and nor should such a rule be introduced (and especially not through an AFD) AusLondonder (talk) 22:02, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOL doesn't say "are notable". If you read the top of the section, it's additional criteria, and the section starts off with "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." No one is using the size of the territory as the grounds for which this article should be deleted. We're saying there's NO significant coverage. It's a small place and maybe that's the reason why. Mkdw ^talk 02:32, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:NPOL. I appreciate the question of whether "self-governing colonial entities are considered so small that they are de facto local governments?," but the balance lies in favor of "self-governing" and that the effort that would be necessary to formulate an additional guideline for size of a self-governing entity. - --Enos733 (talk) 05:39, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On what grounds of NPOL are you arguing keep? WP:BASIC is the primary criteria of NPOL which actually states this article is not notable. All the other criteria like being an elected official is seocndary criteria and without GNG is deemed non-notable. Mkdw ^talk 06:26, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is, as one editor stated "The various SNGs exist to provide presumptions of notability in lieu of the immediate existence of secondary sources" Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 40. However, the policy is "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," not secondary sources (of which government reports fall in that category). A reliable source is a source that, primarily is verifiable. In the subject's case, I do not think there is doubt among editors that the subject was an elected official, and would meet WP:POLOUTCOMES. The only question is whether the subject should be afforded the presumption of notability because we have not found any secondary source (to write about him generally? to say that he is an elected official? To publish results of an election or appointment?). In this case, there are government records of his votes, his date(s) of service as a legislative official. However, there might be a question of whether the subdivision is a local government or at the state/provincial level. - --Enos733 (talk) 07:19, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Idle, hair-splitting query Can anyone speak to how other colonies have been handled? I initially misread this and thought he was deputy speaker for the group of islands, which would satisfy NPOL to me. But he's deputy speaker for legislature of only one of the three, St. Helena. If the polity in question is the UK (from our page on the question: "Because of the islands' status as a dependent territory of the United Kingdom, they are currently ruled over by Elizabeth II and her government in the United Kingdom, with the Governor of Saint Helena serving as the monarch's representative to the territory" i.e. all three islands as best I can understand it), it seems to me that the group of islands is the provincial/state level, and the subdivision--i.e. St. Helena--is a sub-provincial i.e. local government. Unless it's usually interpreted differently?

But backing up to try not to miss the forest for the trees. Unless there's a really firm answer on that, I'm inclined to say this is best merged and redirected to the Legislative Council of Saint Helena page until such time as a willing editor can collect sufficient sources to write more than just his wife's name, and, they went to a party one time. (I know it was an important party! As such their attendance is already covered at List of wedding guests of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.)

Redirect to Chief Secretary of St. Helena. (forgive this stream of consciousnesses edit, I was thinking this one through) St. Helena has a population of 10, actually, 4,534. However it is a colony that manages its own internal affairs. I did find coverage of him in the Tristan Times, [6] the local paper St. Helena shares with Ascension and Tristan da Cunha ~~(pop. 11) Oh, never mind. I was trying to be amusing about the size of these places,~~ we would not, of course, keep the mayor of a town this small. We do, however, treat heads of state as inherently notable. Even Liechtenstein (pop. 33,720). I propose that we could redirect to an article on the model of Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands, with a list of incumbents.

An off-topic misunderstanding

See WP:PERX as an argument to avoid. Mkdw ^talk 01:57, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mkdw: See WP:PERX:

If the rationale provided in the nomination includes a comprehensive argument, specific policy references and/or a compelling presentation of evidence in favour of keeping or deletion, an endorsement of the nominator's argument may be sufficient.

Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 03:47, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the relevance since that sentence talks about the nominator's argument and you said per someone else's comment. The actual part of WP:PERX that talks about comments endorsing other comments is the part that states, "comments adding nothing but a statement of support to a prior comment add little to the discussion" which is to what I was referring. The link you provided literally argues against the point you're trying to make. Mkdw ^talk 06:31, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the relevance of a section titled "Per nominator" then. Maybe best to read a section before trying your hardest to disqualify other's arguments. Bearcat directly showed how it meets WP:NPOLITICIAN. No further commentary needed. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 06:36, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you not see the irony in telling someone to read the section when the section literally has "Keep as per User:IvanIdea's statement. – Suckup, 11:38, 1 April 2004 (UTC)" as one of the examples and states "comments adding nothing but a statement of support to a prior comment add little to the discussion"? Surely you understand that sections contain sentences about many different things, but that sentence you cited literally only referred to one thing? Mkdw ^talk 07:03, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This argument about the intent of the essay writer is silly and has no point, but when would the nomination statement include "a comprehensive argument, specific policy references and/or a compelling presentation of evidence in favour of keeping" the article? This isn't AfK. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 07:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That sentence is only ever meant for a delete !vote that states "per nom". The section accounts for keep "per" !votes with a separate paragraph and it means that there is never a situation where a "per x" !vote is suitable in favour of keep. This is getting off-topic and it wasn't my intention to offend you. I saw your comment as an argument to avoid, as described in the essay, and I pointed it out because those !votes are often discounted in closes. I was hoping to engage in a more thorough discussion and I apologize if I offended you. Mkdw ^talk 07:29, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. For what it's worth, I added a few sources to the article to establish his political positions for WP:NPOLITICIAN. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 07:38, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:BURDEN hasn't been satisfied here. We've established they're an elected official, but every single keep argument is relying on an argument to avoid: WP:MUSTBESOURCES. No guideline supersedes WP:GNG and WP:POLOUTCOMES is an essay. We have yet to find even a single reliable source let alone significant coverage to establish whether this individual is notable. Yes, they're elected, but we do not have a policy or guideline that states even if they have no coverage -- because they're elected we keep their article. Mkdw ^talk 01:42, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Ramaksoud2000 added a number of mostly primary sources. I'm inclined to !vote weak keep. I think for any typical bio the threshold would be much much higher but I do believe establishing notability is relative. We can't expect the same level of coverage for a history academic as we would for a movie celebrity. The same is true for politicians and even more so from ones holding high levels of government in very sparsely populated centres. Mkdw ^talk 07:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, czar 22:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sources do not have to be online (WP:SOURCEACCESS). We have found sources online that verify his positions as a Justice of the Peace and deputy speaker. He has certainly been covered in Saint Helena publications that are not online. Cases like this where online sources are scarce, but the politician's positions are verifiable, is the reason why WP:NPOLITICIAN exists. If WP:NPOLITICIAN is to be ignored whenever online sources are hard to find, then we should just redirect WP:NPOLITICIAN to WP:GNG. WP:POLITICIAN is a notability criterion all by itself, thus I disagree with User:Czar. From WP:POLITICIAN:
This is a secondary criterion. People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion. Biographers and historians will usually have already written about the past and present holders of major political offices. However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless.
Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:48, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's called a secondary criterion for a reason. Read the first line of "Additional criteria": meeting the secondary criteria is a good indicator that sources exist, such that an article can be written on the topic. But sources need to exist. I don't have a horse in this race—the editors above complained that there are no sources, and without satisfying that straightforward, policy-backed complaint, a merge compromise is the most obvious solution, as there isn't consensus to keep the article. If you have offline sources to show them, go for it.

czar 22:55, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Will just add a request that please, if at all possible, focus the search for additiobal offline references to sources outside Saint Helena. I'm actually a proponent of taking local sources more into account than many of my counterparts usually do at AFD, but even I think they need to be used in concert with outside attention to establish notability--if all we have is the perspective of the hometown newspaper, we really can't produce anything even close to satisfying the goal of balanced coverage described at WP:WHYN. (For clarity: I make this remark with regard to the GNG case, because I don't see a clear case being made that the subject meets NPOL, even if we were to take NPOL as an exception to GNG's requirement.) Innisfree987 (talk) 23:14, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To me the question is whether the government of St. Helena is more akin a subnational government (such as a state or province) or a local government (e.g city). However, if it is established that the office held is more akin to a subnational government, then my assertion is that the only source needed to meet the notability requirement under WP:POLITICIAN is confirmation that the subject serves in that office. This could come from an official government source, including, but not limited to, election results, an entry on the webpage for that office, publication of official votes, or government stationary. What is established is that the subject holds an elective office as discussed by Ramaksoud2000. I do not believe that a strict application of WP:Primary applies with verification of elected officials WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD. - --Enos733 (talk) 18:09, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well it has its own elected government, its own constitution, can make its own laws - it's no less notable than the other British Overseas Territories and its status certainly isn't that of a "local government" - in U.S. terms, it's a State, rather than a county, with a Governor, a legislature and an executive. The population size doesn't determine notability, it's the legal status that swings it. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that the legal status is what determines notability. The question, though, was raised earlier by Innisfree987, who suggested that the "group of islands is the provincial/state level, and the subdivision--i.e. St. Helena--is a sub-provincial i.e. local government." I am not familiar enough with British Overseas Territories to evaluate that question. --Enos733 (talk) 22:17, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no higher legislative body for Saint Helena, other than Parliament: Saint_Helena,_Ascension_and_Tristan_da_Cunha#Constitution. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:21, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, there's no higher tier of government that covers that group of islands - like I said, the Saint Helena government is at the same level as, for example, the Falkland Islands government. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:54, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Falkland Islands has one unified legislature for the whole group though, with representatives from different places. But by contrast--assuming the WP entry is correct--the St. Helena/Ascension/Tristan da Cunha group, which is one territory, has three separate legislatures. Seems like a subdivision of the territory to me. And then there's still the matter of--we really do not have enough to write a bio anyhow. Will elaborate on sourcing problems below. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Falkland Islands does not have a separate legislature for each island in the group - if it did, I'd agree with you, but we aren't really comparing like with like. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:30, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ever since he's been established as deputy speaker of the legislative council, there has been consensus to keep because he passes WP:POLITICIAN. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per the relist request and in light of repeated suggestions ivoters haven't read the current draft, I wanted to give a rundown of the sources as they now stand. The sources in the entry plus the one I see identified here at AfD (existence of offline sources has been asserted but no citations given, so unfortunately not verifiable) are:

Hometown secondary sources (here "property of the St. Helena Herald"; here "serving St. Helena and her community worldwide"; and here "Friends of St. Helena", that last additionally being just a direct copy of this press release)
Three trivial mentions (one sentence, one sentence and not-even-a-sentence) from outside outlets.
Two press releases (the aforementioned and this) from the St. Helena government, which Enos rightly points out should have some standing to confirm political position, but as they're not secondary sources, they don't help with GNG.

To me this pretty clearly does not meet the GNG standard as regularly practiced. Innisfree987 (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure you can really dismiss every single news provider in Saint Helena as merely "hometown sources" given the fact that the nearest other place to St. Helena is across 800 miles of ocean. I know the population of the place is small but that's no reason to reject its press as not meeting the GNG. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to dismiss, just describing how I've usually seen GNG applied: in my experience, news sources from a very small place about that very small place, if not accompanied by additional, independent attention, are generally taken as insufficient to provide balanced coverage of topics in that place. For that matter, much larger outlets are, on their own, also considered insufficient to establish notability for topics in their own locale: for instance, if the New York press covered a Manhattan restaurant but no other outlets did, it might well not pass GNG. For the record, I'm fairly "inclusionist" on this question--there are people who would tell you local sources can't count toward GNG at all (e.g.), whereas I think they ought to count toward combined sources if they're accompanied by other perspectives to balance them. We just really don't have even that here. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:29, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article could use improvement not deletion per WP:ATD. Highest level of sport = notable. Whether there are redlinks and the creating editor is active or not are not relevant points. Hmlarson (talk) 01:29, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hmlarson: your argument boils down to WP:SURMOUNTABLE... The highest level of a sport doesn't automatically make it notable. Notability must be established. The highest level of competitive basket weaving doesn't automatically get a page, plus WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The fact that an editor came in and created hundreds of pages about a sport without establishing notability IS relevant. And the fact that the page links to dozens of other pages that don't exists (many have recently been deleted) IS relevant. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 01:37, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not Trivial. Standard season page for a professional sports league. -DJSasso (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I am not convinced that a minor professional sports league like this needs to have season articles. Of course it can have season articles but the usual rules apply. That means valid referencing and a demonstration of notability. What we have here is nothing more than a link to the top level of the PIHA's website. That is not sufficient for verifiability and I see this as just over-detailed sportscruft of no encyclopaedic value. If the article were stripped down to what can be reliably referenced and had some third party references then that might be OK. Alternatively, if that only left a couple of sentences, that could be merged elsewhere. The Google News links don't show any obvious candidates for sources though. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:54, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The content from reliable sources doesn't amount to as much as a capsule review. More is needed for WP:FILM All of the sources suggested above contain interview material involving people connected to the film. Interview responses from connected people don't add to notability.

Obvious keep. A person who not only served in a national parliament, as Enos733 mentions, but also served as a government minister for several years is "not a notable individual"? It is true that most of the statements in the article are not supported by the cited source, but the fact that he was a member of the upper house of the parliament is supported, and that is enough to establish notability.

Delete - per WP:IINFO. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Perhaps that the both of you can categorize the article under "low-importance" but that shouldn't be a valid reason for proposed deletion unless the article is grossly incomplete in the first place. Lemongirl942 was aware of my editing pattern and she has always believed that my edit was done out of good faith. I personally believe that it is perfectly alright to do so as long as I can provide reliable references in the first place. Even Arjayay whom I have spoken too previously have told me that the differences between WP:List and WP:IINFO are disputable among editors. Entertainment events at the SM Mall of Asia, Forum Copenhagen and List of events at the 3Arena are the inspirations behind the motivations for my edits. List of events at the Mercedes-Benz Arena wasn't created by me but the existence of those articles makes me wonder why some pages are proposed for deletion whereas Entertainment events at the SM Mall of Asia, List of events at the 3Arena and Entertainment events at The Forum are not considered for deletion. I believe that we try to avoid double-standardness here, isn't it? Xinyang Aliciabritney (talk) 15:13, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have just checked those pages, the page on List of events at the 3Arena was created by Handsopened on 29 November 2010 but there is no plan for deletion despite the article not citing any references in the first place, although I can try my best to improve the page by adding more citacions in the coming days. List of events at the 3Arena and Entertainment events at Perth Arena are of similar nature I believe, and therefore categorizing the article under "Low-Importance" would be a better move than a proposed deletion. Similarly, both articles on List of events at the Mercedes-Benz Arena and Entertainment events at the SM Mall of Asia were created by Tedwang94 and 2.30.251.152 respectively but there were no problems with their article page, so I was wondering if anyone of you have something against me although I don't wish to speculate further since the discussions are still on going. Xinyang Aliciabritney (talk) 15:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and consider Rename. Article is so badly written that an editor unfamiliar with this murder would assume that it was a family tragedy when In fact, this was anything but a "routine" murder due to the way it was treated by the press and by the East Asian immigrant community, see for example: Tragedy of ‘golden’ daughter’s fall resonates with Asian immigrant children,[10] in the Washington Post.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HEYMANN I expanded article form stub to give some idea of the scope and impact of this murder. However, I did nothing to the lede or the infobox, pending outcome of this discussion. Article needs a new title, and a lede revised according to the new title. Note that the case became notorious because of the idea that culturally-specific Chinese Tiger parenting and the pressure on children of Chinese immigrants to be perfect backfired here into a tragic murder. Naming it after the book won't work, reason is: there is a book, but it got panned. Also, an article by a journalist who was a high school classmate of the "golden daughter" is said to have launched the incident into notoriety, so it's hardly fair to name the article after a book written by a different journalist. That article was written almost 5 years after the murder occurred, until then this murder relatively routine regional press attention. Frankly, I don't know what to call it. I can't find any sources calling it Murder of Bieh Ha Pan, PRESS ATTENTION is focused almost entirely on the daughter, the family relationship and "tiger parenting."E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2017 (UTC)@Rms125a@hotmail.com, Dl2000, and Fyddlestix:[reply]

Good point, something like Trial of Jennifer Pan or Jennifer Pan Murder Case might work. Although it is the mother who was killed, the sources focus on Jennifer and her remarkable trajectory of fabulism, and on her relationship with her father, the "tiger Dad". E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:39, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and agree with recommendations to rename the article and format the article to fit the crime itself.

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

Bouchard has two blimps of notability. The first is not mentioned in the article and probably for good reason. I found it from this article [11] which at first I thought looked like a reliable source. The problem is that Star Search was a CBS publication, and this comes close to being self-produced PR for the show. 1 mention for a 12-year-old does not make someone notable. So we move on to the Miss Maine coverage. 2 are local news stories of the type "local person wins an award". 1 is a Miss America organization source that is not indepdent. The last is a one sentance passing mention in an article about something else that does not constitute significant coverage. None of this is enough to pass the general notability guidelines. We do not create articles for people who only get notcied for one event, expecially when it does not rise to the level of a major award as required by the biographical notability guidelines. Bouchard is just plain not notable and we should delete the article. John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Winning a state pageant is not enough for GNG. Nothing else found. Agree with analysis by nom. MB 04:39, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong forum As per WP:BEFORE C1, "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." Merger is ordinary editing, but the editors at Beauty Pageants have preferred to create standalone articles. The most that a notability argument can do in this case is flip the article so that it is not standalone, such as merged to Miss Maine; and given the longstanding content consensus by the content contributors, the issue is not relevant for an AfD forum.
Applicable policy is WP:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT, and WP:Editing policy, which includes WP:PRESERVE. Policies are not optional. If this is supposed to be an IAR deletion, the argument is not so stated, thus cannot be directly adressed. Unscintillating (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- "Content consensus" by "content contributors" is an argument for ownership. Considering that the actual discussion on the beauty pageant talk page shows an overwhelming consensus by participants in the discussion that winners of sub-national pageants are not notable, the above argument ignores what the actual consensus caused by editor participation is. People do not get special ownership by being article creators.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - As for the your claim about consensus, what you've actually said is, "I have to admit for now my main concern is that we make it clear that winning sub-national pageants does not on its own make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:36, 24 December 2016 (UTC)" You are concerned about making it "clear", which defines it that your view is that such consensus is "not clear". And I've also told you how you can get build the wall you want, which is to create a WP:NOT guideline. Attacking state-level winners using a death-by-one-thousand-cuts strategy is a plan to undermine WP:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion and WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT. Unscintillating (talk) 04:03, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dream Prisoner

Non-notable game with no independent, significant coverage in reliable sources. Sources available are download or flash game sites, simple catalog entries, and wiki mirrors. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:24, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unless someone is able to dig up some substantial coverage from offline sources, this topic looks to fails WP:GNG. Coverage from reliable independent online sources is non-existent and Mobygames does not list any available magazine reviews in its database. --The1337gamer (talk) 14:47, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This organization only has minor mentions from primary sources thereby failing WP:ORG. A major conflict of interest is also obvious —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 13:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Many of the sources appear to be WP:RS; independent, secondary sources with editorial independence and control. Nigerian media seems overall to be unashamedly likely to praise those they see as worthies, but that and the WP:COI and lack of WP:NPOV in the article are content issues. There are definitely sources to indicate independent notability. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:18, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A respectable amount of sources already in the article, and it looks like there's plenty more where that came from. TimothyJosephWood 13:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hybiz.tv

Per WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Non-noteable online business channel. No reliable secondary sources could be located to confirm the notability of the subject. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 00:07, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete how is this still around?! I No notability and purely WP:PROMO. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 02:32, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete "Hybiz.tv is the only 24/7 web tv network exclusively dedicated to business, lifestyle, B2B". Yeah, that's most streaming television today, and complete fluff. Textbook WP:PROMO copy. Nate • (chatter) 03:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
