Wolf Canyon

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

Failed television pilot that went to air as a one-off special, but never got the range or depth of reliable source coverage needed to clear WP:NMEDIA on that basis. While this has the notability claim of having won Leo Awards, those are a regional film and television award which is not nationally or internationally prominent enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on a production that doesn't otherwise have the media coverage necessary to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing -- but the only sources being cited here are blogs, not reliable sources, and I can't find any other reliable source coverage anywhere else. It also misrepresented one of its references as being TV Guide (Canada), which it isn't — it's a one-person WordPress blog operated under the title "Complete TV Guide", unrelated to the (defunct) real magazine.

Delete - A straight forward failure of both WP:GNG and WP:NCOMIC. No reliable secondary sources, and too trivial to merge. One storyline does not create anything near notability, without other sources. --Killer Moff (talk) 12:38, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I thought about redirecting to Hellions (Marvel Comics) since it had some info on him, but the brief description includes this gem: "His head is shown being used to infiltrate Beast's files." I'm sure this makes sense in context, but I can't support directing readers to something like that. I'm picturing a goon using Paradigm's head to open a file drawer, and hilarity ensues as he tries to get the nose into the handle just right...

Next Pakistani general election

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

Subject does not appear to meet GNG so delete per WP:TOOSOON Saqib (talk) 20:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion: we are not exactly certain that the election will be held in 5 years seeing as the government currently has a slim majority so new elections could be called either voluntarily or involuntarily. Even then, precedent on other countries election pages show that the page for the next election is already created as soon as the old election is finished. For example, Next Turkish general election, Next United Kingdom general election and Next German federal election were all created not too long after the previous elections were finished. As per these reasons, I oppose deletion. маsтегрна таLк 21:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I wouldn't say that TOOSOON applies (most countries can be very confident on it), and while OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't make a good basis for sourcing etc claims, things like this it isn't unreasonable. Given the various things that could full under it (have a look at its counterparts) then it's easy to come up with sources, though in its current form it would be difficult. It's a little odd since the article's remit is more flexible than in most articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, generally these articles turn into redirects once the election date has been officially finalised. See Next New Zealand general election per example. Ajf773 (talk)
Speedy keep No problem with articles like this, and we generally have them quite soon after the previous election was held. Number 5 7 20:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per Nuber57. We could also put the opinion poll. --Panam2014 (talk) 04:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There currently aren’t any opinions polls so this is definitely too soon маsтегрна таLк 17:00, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:TOSOON applies here. Saying that the government is weak is not something that would allow the article to be kept. Keep The democracy in Pakistan is unreliable, we can never be sure about the exact elections date. And I agree with Masterpha. Knightrises10 (talk) 18:21, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Knightrises10: the democracy is unreliable : it is for that if it is the case, the elections would be held before 5 years. And after 1999 coup, the elections have been held in 2002, 5 years after 1997 elections. --Panam2014 (talk) 20:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:POLITICIAN??! Unless, you wish to claim that Director-General-of-prisons is a non-executive & political position.∯WBG^converse 17:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- Is there a reason this came straight to AfD instead of going through the WP:BLPPROD process? I currently lean towards suggesting deletion for the simple fact it is an unreferenced WP:BLP, but would reconsider if sources were provided. Jmertel23 (talk) 13:17, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete ~~unreferenced WP:BLP~~ Not alive, but plainly fails WP:GNG and the position is not one which gives de facto notability under WP:NPOL or any other criteria. SportingFlyer talk 10:50, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Of course very senior officials like the head of a country's prison system are notable. Common sense. I have added a reference to confirm that he did indeed hold the position. How hard would it have been for the "unreferenced BLP" brigade to do this? Took me all of ten seconds to find a ref on Google. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:57, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Necrothesp, how hard would it be for the of-course brigade to claim their fact? It's plainly delusional that every top-tier-executive of a country is notable........∯WBG^converse 12:19, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll notice if you reread what I said above (and look at the article again) that I did! You think it's delusional for the head of a major country's entire prison system to be considered notable? Especially when we have articles on every minor celebrity who appears briefly to warble a tune, shoot their mouth off on YouTube or kick a ball around a field. The "logic" of that frankly beggars belief! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to see the guideline that says so, and if you can't find one, I certainly think you'd need more than one primary source. SportingFlyer talk 19:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why? It confirms he held the position and the position is clearly notable. Do we really want Wikipedia to degenerate into a collection of articles on minor celebrities who've been dribbled over on the internet for a few months while ignoring people who have held very senior positions but who aren't so "interesting" to the fanboys and girls who dominate social media? I certainly don't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:14, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Necrothesp, you need to read that other shit can exist.No SNG supports your stance that all top-tier executive positions are default-notable, shall they be verifiable.If you wish for such a guideline, it's thatway. ∯WBG^converse 17:10, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think you probably need to recognise how long I've been here before you suggest I read things that I've been familiar with for years. Otherwise you could appear to be patronising. It's common sense that supports my position, not some rule, since, as I'm sure you know, Wikipedia is not bound by rules. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~ Is probably notable, but only has 1 source. There might be more in offline sources. Changed to Delete, [3] [4] [5] is all I could find » Shadowowl | talk 20:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment that single source is also primary. There's no automatic notability for any leader of a prison system - not under WP:NPOL certainly, and I'm not sure under what other grounds. If he's alive, there are also WP:BLP1E concerns. SportingFlyer talk 19:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly doesn't qualify under BLP1E in any way. What is the "one event" he is notable for? He's notable for having a notable career, not for one event. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:20, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased in any case. Added a couple more sources. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:31, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even after that, none of the sources in the article are WP:RS. Now two are primary and one is from a genealogy website. SportingFlyer talk 18:00, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Government websites are most certainly considered to be reliable sources for confirmation of the holders of government positions and their careers. We have never held otherwise. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that the information is unreliable, it is that the source is WP:PRIMARY for someone who doesn't get a notability waiver. SportingFlyer talk 06:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and I find the claim that everyone in such a position is notable. Please... CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Please what? So, the head of the national prison system in, say, Britain or the US wouldn't be notable? Please... -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I also think that if we hold all general and flag officers of all national armed forces to be notable, as we do, then it makes no sense for us not to hold the most senior officer of another national uniformed service to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:46, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: a position of "Director General of Prisons of the Malaysian Prison Department" does not appear to meet WP:NPOL. It has not generated WP:SIGCOV to meet ANYBIO either. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:28, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment How about Murad Ahmad and Wan Mohamad Nazarie Wan Mahmood? Both articles were created by User:Wanfahmi57. Panji Keramat (talk) 01:47, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since subject is not a politician but a state functionary, in which case, of course, WP:NPOLITICIAN does not apply but we go by WP:GNG. Which subject fails. No two ways about it. And let me just say that the argument made above that suggestions here are NOT supposed to be formulated on the basis of policy but on what we like, presented as "common sense," is a typical misuse of the no-rules "rule" and mind boggling. -The Gnome (talk) 15:39, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- It's nothing to do with "liking" and everything to do with the fact that common sense would dictate that such senior officials, even in countries that don't plaster everything over the internet, even in eras that existed before the internet (yes, believe it or not, there was such a thing and its inhabitants are valid subjects for articles!), are notable. Ask yourself, would the head of the prison system in a modern Western country be considered notable? The answer is clearly yes, since their careers would be all over the internet. So therefore, by applying the logic of the posters above, we are by definition discriminating against individuals who do not fall into this category, whether that's because they come from developing countries or because they're not active today or both. Frankly, to me, it's "mind boggling" that some editors are incapable of seeing this (although given the growing and frankly worrying obsession on Wikipedia with slavishly obeying "rules", which we don't actually have, and being uncomfortable with anything that doesn't comfortably fit into the "rules", I'm honestly not surprised). -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On policy, in general : Sorry but I cannot agree with discounting all rules on the basis of some fuzzy "common sense." AfDs are decided on the basis of policy and guidelines, having always in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not an indiscriminate collection of data, much as that would please some editors.

The relevant guideline, WP:DELPRO, elevates following policy to a major concern (see conflict between the views expressed and Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, etc). And there is nothing "slavish" or "blind" about following policy here.

As to your argument about the article per se, again, we have to go by sources as they exist right now, be they offline or online. We live in the internet age but this does not exclude pre-internet sources from being used or from being considered reliable. -The Gnome (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NWEB - no independent coverage. I am actually suggesting a redirect to List of Wikipedias rather than outright deletion - however, I don't see any reason to merge any more of the content into the list, and as far as I know there isn't a venue for just discussing whether an article should be turned into a redirect without merging any of the content. Also, I would go ahead and be bold and redirect it myself, but it appears to have a bit of a controversial history, including a previous AfD with a result on "No consensus."

A real keeper if it is what is says it is. It should be a Listed building, mentioned in the Domesday Book, first mill to use the Fourdrinier paper machine - the most important technical innovation in paper before wood pulp. Yes, I'll check this out - it's just bare bones now, but if even a third of this checks out it's a definite keep. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's too good in that we'd like to have independent sources, but presumably we'll find those. That said the Domesday Book looks like an exaggeration, and my guess that it's a listed building fails (presumably because the mill was updated and rebuilt during its long history). So it looks like a fixer-upper as well as a keeper. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 13:37, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Surely you aren't serious Stuartyeates. If you went to the trouble of finding those references you should have added them. The page should reflect the notability of the subject. In my opinion this article is an insult to the subject. If you are going to go to the trouble of creating a page you should put your best effort into it. A quick scan of the references provided does not show that the subject's work has had 'substantial impact outside academia', only that she is a go to person for a journalist who is writing an article about memory.

Bézout method

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

This paper is entirely based on a single primary source. This source is more than 250 years old, but no secondary source is given. The name of the method is not sourced. This method for solving equations seems to have not be considered in recent literature, probably because the method of Lagrange resolvent is more useful. Thus the method and its name are not notable enough for belonging to WP.

Moreover, a member-to-member-products method for elimination is used without explanation nor reference. The details of this elimination method does not deserve to be described, as being an inelegant way for computing a resultant. However, Bézout's elimination method is still considered in modern mathematics and is the subject of the article Bezoutian, which seems to be ignored by the author of the article.

Hello D.Lazard, I translated it from the French article, and I think it could be developed as a part of history of mathimatics. Thanks. --Dr-Taher (talk) 14:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The French article is not better than its translation. It has never been evaluated: I have just evaluated it as a stub of low importance, and its content has never been discussed on the talk page. D.Lazard (talk) 15:17, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Developing this article as a part of history of mathematics would be original research, and does not belong to Wikipedia. Moreover, this would make sense only if it is compared with other methods of the same period, and with the modern approaches of the subject, whiles not even sketched. By the way, I'll explain my concerns in the talk page of the article. D.Lazard (talk) 10:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lagrange's paper on the subject has been written 6 years later. It is a dramatic improvement of Bézout's method, and this explains the weakness of the impact of Bézout's method on the theory of equations. Thus, Bézout's method does not deserve more than a mention in a complete article (still to be written) on Lagrange resolvents. D.Lazard (talk) 13:58, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Local coverage and routine sports reporting is not enough to meet the GNG. She lost her only fight at the 2014 world youth championships in the round of 32[10]. She lacks success as an adult with a current world ranking of 244 and seems unlikely to make the Olympics with an Olympic ranking of 379[11].

Delete There's no doubt she had success as a junior, but that isn't generally considered sufficient to show notability for athletes. Her only world ranking points come from making the quarterfinals of the 2017 Universiade tournament (which means her competition would have been adult, but limited). Her failure to have success as an adult argues against notability and I don't see enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. I also don't believe that WP:MANOTE is met.

It's the acting work, not the fighting work, that I think bumps him weakly over the bar. I see him as a non-notable fighter who is a marginally notable actor in the Philippines.

This article should be deleted as per G5 speedy deletion criteria. I am opening an AfD just because repeated attempts at deletion have been frustrated by users gaming the system. Here is a summarized timeline:

27 February 2013‎ - created by Ammichel (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), later blocked as sockpuppet of the long-term abuser Morning277.
4 September 2013 - Ammichel was blocked, article speedy deleted (G5)
18 September 2013‎ - CitizenNeutral (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) recreates the article ([12]). This user was blocked on 27 January 2014 as another Morning277 sockpuppet.
27 January 2014 - article deleted (G5)
14 April 2014‎ - article recreated by single-purpose account Olivier cv (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
21 April 2014‎ - article nominated for speedy deletion (G5) by DGG ([13])
22 April 2014 - speedy deletion tag removed by IP 98.173.195.74 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) ([14])
9 May 2015 - article PROD'd by Bri ([15])
11 May 2015 - de-PROD'd by 70.197.10.227 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) ([16]), twice
11 May 2015 - later de-PROD'd by recently registered, single-edit account BlackDog11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) ([17])
25 August 2017‎ - further edits by Mrhuuaaa (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), an SPA that edited, exclusively, two articles under heavy COI/UPE editing.
29 September 2017‎ - article edited by ChristianFernandes12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), yet another UPE sockpuppet blocked as such.

These anonymous and SPA start popping up after sockpuppet blocks, and they seem fairly experienced in Wikipedia editing. Either LegalMorning, WikiPR or Centrify itself is clearly gaming the system here to avoid deletion.

In any case, the article has got no better at sources. All of them except one (which is a routine "top ten SaaS security products" listing article) are self-published, press releases or sources with dubious reliability. MarioGom (talk) 17:05, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Here's a breakdown of how all the sources fail WP:ORGCRITE:

Interview. Not independent.
"Top 10" list. Not significant or reliable
Centrify gets 10m in 3rd round. It's a listed example of trivial coverage: "of a capital transaction, such as raised capital,"
Blog post/opinion piece. Sadly enough, actually the best source in the entire list. Even if this is acceptable though, multiple sources that pass the criteria are needed.
More trivial coverage of capital raised

The only reason she has any coverage in the first place is because she is a political candidate. Are you saying her candidacy is what makes her notable? Meatsgains^(talk) 02:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am saying that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article". This is Wikipedia's policy. Nowhere does it indicate when or how or why a person received the significant, independent coverage. If we agree that such coverage exists, all other arguments against are simply a version of "I don't like unelected politicians having articles".--TM 01:48, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't entirely correct. The WP:GNG is simply a presumption - an article may nevertheless fail the WP:GNG if it falls under "what Wikipedia is not." Longstanding consensus is to redirect or delete candidate articles based off of several principles, including promotion, routine political sourcing, neutral point of view issues, and recentism/the "ten year" rule, which doesn't mean a candidate can't have an article - it just means candidates must typically go above and beyond just being a candidate in a recent election to have an article. Local candidates are rarely notable if they don't win, and in Wikipedia, once you're notable, you're always notable. If she's elected, she'll easily pass WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 01:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the policy to which you refer? If it is not policy, as I said, it is simply your opinion. I think we should operate under the policies of the project and not the whims of a few editors.--TM 11:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep and clean up. Based on non-interview sources in article she passes GNG. NPOL notes that even if they are an unelected candidate, regular (GNG) criteria still applies, which she passes from the sources in the article, imo. It is promotional in tone, however. That needs to be addressed. Redirect to the election she is serving in. While I still believe the article could stand on its own from GNG, redirecting is a better option and if she wins then we can easily make a proper article.

Redirect to the election she is running in. Unelected official, who, although has coverage about her, passes no guidelines. The coverage is just her policies and brief mentions that she's running and nothing otherwise. The revision history will be kept if she wins so then the article can be restored.

Delete. A mess of original research. Looking at sourcing:

1. No mention of epic music.

2. Interview where someone states that some fans have started calling trailer music epic music.

3. Interview with the head of a company that is trying to sell the concept of a separate genre.

4. WNYC uses "epic music" in quotes then states so-called "epic music" and later refers to trailer music without quotes. This does not really support claims of a separate genre.

5. Press release.

6. Gearpatrol. One question touches on suggestions of a genre but does not go into real depth.

7. "even though it's hard to say what the music really is - they don't have an "epic" genre category". is as close as this one gets.

8. Facebook post

9. Press release

10. Press release

11. "I’m an epic music guy, I mean stuff that you would hear in a movie, orchestra stuff, big movie soundtracks." Different to what the Wikipedia page is peddling.

12. Not working for me.

13. States that there is an Epic music scene, very little coverage

14. This one actually does use the term a lot and tries a bit to describe it. Talking about a fan community.

What Makes Epic Music Article which does mention multiple artists; in the genre. Also see Discussion on what Epic Music is includes a description of what makes Epic Music "Harmony changes. From a cultural standpoint, there's a grab-bag of particular harmony changes most of us equate with epic: 1. An instrument (or instrument family, etc.) being highlighted in its upper register. 2. Oftentimes the climax at the moment where most people go "whoa...this is epic..." has an adjusted meter of some kind. Sometimes the music will go into a doubletime feel; in my opinion, this matches the human reaction of relaxation at a moment of climax. 3. There's often a common tone held over in at least one voice, but often it's highlighted and emphasized by the composer." and "Genre classification is always a tricky subject with a lot a subjectivity and cultural context attached. ...there seems to be grounds to use "epic" to categorize music that matches a certain set of expectations from music fans, not just the professional community, even if such music can come from different genres like classical, film, or production business music." Also in one of the article's citations, you will find the authors themselves do not consider their music trailer music or film music"[TSFW Composer] does not consider himself a trailer music composer, and strongly dislikes being lumped into a specific genre. Bergesen didn’t write “Final Frontier” for Two Steps From Hell to be used in a film trailer, but simply as one track on his own album, Sun, which he insists was not created to be shopped for trailers. “My focus has always been on creating good music,” Bergersen wrote in an email. “Whether the music works in a movie, a trailer, a video game, in someone’s home video, or on someone’s headphones in the gym, it really doesn’t matter to me.” Bergersen is part of a segment of musicians that interact and intersect with films, but also refuse to be defined by the silver screen" ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 04:25, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The use of "epic" in the links above is misleading:

The Yale library listing of "epic songs" actually refers to the usage of the descriptive for ethnographic music by the Library of Congress , the alternate name for which is "heroic songs" -- as in songs related to oral epics (e.g. Homeric epics.)
The "What Makes Epic Music" article has nothing to do with the claims of being a genre. The article uses the word "epic" as a subjective adjective, as defined in the first paragraph, "sometimes you truly bond with a special album, one where you are moved by the triumph of ambition and vision of the musician or band who made it." It lists examples like John Coltrane's jazz classic A Love Supreme. The article is about "era-defining music" and "concept albums" -- which is not at all what this article is about.
Likewise, the link to free music site Jamendo doesn't support the claims of the article: the term "epic" is not listed as a genre, but under the subjective descriptor of "Energetic Mood." In addition to listing genres, the Jamendo catalog sorts music according to "Moods": Happy; Energetic; Calm; Sad. It then further describes them in "Themes", such as, under "Happy": "Beach, Celebration, Cheerful, Kids, Electric, Holiday, Hopeful, Inspiring, Motivational, Uplifting, Sunny." --Leflyman^Talk 05:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I consider the article to be poorly written, Epic Music should be rewritten with the definition that it is a "cross-genre categorization of music" which some consider a genre of it's own. In Vietnam Musician Finds Grandeur in Epic Genre they specifically reference literary epics and is inspired by heroism, which ties to heroic songs. On the library of congress on, I agree that Epic Songs is under the broader category of Narrative Song for categorizing music. Your link is the wrong entry though, that's not for music, this is the correct one on the LoC. The wiki article should also touch on alternative definitions of an epic (such as heroic song). That doesn't mean the topic isn't notable, but rather the article is poorly written.

The editor above seems to be including anything that has the words "epic" and "music" close together, as though they always refer to the claimed genre of "epic music." Perhaps he is not reading the actual content. The 2014 Dissertation linked is specifically about World of Warcraft's use of background music -- it's titled The Music of World of Warcraft, Lore of Epic Music. The abstract starts with, "Epic role playing games such as the World of Warcraft are accompanied by epic music which intensifies the players' in-game experience and sensations." This is, again, a descriptive use of "epic" as a subjective adjective, not a genre of music.

Likewise, the Amazon link to the Farsi language book, Epic and Music suffers the same problem: it's described as consisting of "five Chapters each of which covering a different aspect of music and epic in Persian context. The impact of musical form and Persian poetry is the first chapter of this book. This chapter provides the basics of Epical poem and music and its fundamental concepts written by Fatemeh Mirtaheri" This is about Persian epics and music not music for movie trailers. The editor should stop providing links that attempt to merge all uses of "epic" as though they are the same -- these do not support the article, and are effectively Original Research through Synthesis. --Leflyman^Talk

If you bothered to look at the sources you would see they are clearly talking about epic music, as a genre. You are willfully misinterpreting the sources by picking quotes out of context. Go look at the paper's table of contents and the section on epic music history. It clearly links how modern epic music is tied to historical epics, I'm not engaging in original research or synthesis. In fact, based on the articles I had read prior to the paper, I was of the opposite understanding (that they were 2 separate things). If you read the entire amazon summary it starts off with historical epics and music but it ends up talking about modern epic music (explicit that wording). Many other sources explicitly state epic music genre and they state it is not just trailer music. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 00:20, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It has been in existence for 60 years, and I'm sure it has a lot of storied experience, full of potential sources.

The result was no consensus. The "delete" votes have it by a wide margin, but most of them were lodged prior to the introduction of numerous new sources. The article has significantly more citations now than it did when it was first listed at AfD, so I don't think "per nom" carries much weight anymore. I'd encourage James500 and other interested editors to continue improving the article, with the aim of establishing notability more firmly, and I also leave the door open to a new nomination if significant coverage has not been found and cited after some time. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Satisfies GNG. He has amongst other things an article in Boase's Modern English Biography [23] which is a gold standard source for those who died in the late nineteenth century, probably the leading source (I am tempted to invoke criteria 3 of ANYBIO). He would not be in there if he wasn't notable. Add to that an obituary in Freeman's Journal (2 February 1877) and the Illustrated London News [24] ("Archdeacon Goold", towards bottom of last column) and the rest of the coverage available in GBooks etc, and I think he is well within acceptable limits for a person of this era. It goes without saying that just looking only for "Frederick Falkiner Goold" is useless, and one has to search for things like "Archdeacon Goold", "F F Goold", "F Goold", "Goold Frederick" or just "Goold" +archdeacon, or +raphoe, or +1852, +1877, (or any other relevant date or place) or +obituary etc or various combinations etc. Whatever the sources might be, I do not think they could be fairly described as "catalogue entries".

Comment : Because of the respect I happen to have for Michig's work, I checked again the sourcing, including searches for Patrice Boulianne, the lead musician and main person actually behind the band.

The subject of the contested article fails criteria #2 to #7 of WP:NBAND (single in the charts; gold recording; major award for record; work used in soundtracks or TV; heavy rotation in media; subject of substantial broladcast in mahor media). We are left with a search for sources.

WP:NBAND states the following : The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the ensemble notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. Someone simply talking about themselves does not automatically mean they have sufficient attention in the world at large to be notable. This excludes all interviews from being the main evidence for notability: Interviews can be used as sources for information, of course, but not as the sole or main evidence of notability.

Onwards to the sources then: Two of the sources provided by Michig are interviews with the frontman conducted by music websites, one here and another here. (There's another one here. More interviews are out there. All very interesting, for what it's worth, at least to my eyes.) The third source offered by Michig is a news item about the band winning the "Fan's Choice Entertainer of the Year" prize at the 2012 ECMA annual ceremony at the Casino New Brunswick, which I'm afraid does not establish the level of notability required by WP:NBAND.

I understand that the kind of music the band plays is not causing the kind of news waves that would provide the article with verifiable notability but, then again, Wikipedia's policy about musicians' notability is shaped in a manner that excludes a great deal of musically worthy subjects. For this fan of zydeco and assorted stuff, it's an unfortunate state of affairs. Dura lex. -The Gnome (talk) 15:57, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge, per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE this should not have been brought to AFD at all. This is a notable series that obviously requires description of its characters, and there is no section at all in the parent article. The questions of whether a WP:SPLIT is merited, what is an appropriate level/detail of coverage, and what can be sourced to the series itself and what would require secondary sourcing, are all for ordinary editing and discussion to resolve. Instead we're wasting our time on a process that has no application here, because at most this would be redirected to the parent article (again, see policy at WP:ATD), brought by a nominator who has not even bothered to raise the question on either relevant talk page. postdlf (talk) 18:29, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because it just needs cleanup. I echo what the above user said about the notability of the series, the question of the necessity of the split, and the trouting for using AFD for cleanup. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 01:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about cleanup, this is about removal. There's no question of the series being notable (this isn't the article about the series, no-one is looking to delete the series article). But a huge unsourced list article shouldn't be here. Nor is there any indication that listing all these very minor characters approaches notability - and any major characters could easily be covered in the best place for them, the overall article.

Keep Article has a lot of issues but I think that its notability is reasonable as a WP:SPLIT of the parent article. Teemu08 (talk) 16:48, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, albeit with total sympathy for the nominator's argument. The article is easily ten times the length it needs to be, and has probably a tenth of the sources it would ideally have. But a list of characters is needed, either in the parent article or in a separate list, and per WP:SIZESPLIT it's reasonable to split it off for size reasons (the parent article is at 56k, and with even a massively reduced version of the list merged it would certainly top 60k, which is the point at which the information page suggests a split is likely to be needed). So although some serious pruning is needed, it isn't really the case that even an appropriately cut-down version of the list "could easily be covered in [...] the overall article". – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is third party coverage of Rosati's on Google News. I think there's confusion because there's a myrosatis.com and a rosatis.com, both of which appear to belong to the same restaurant. Is that the confusion you're referring to?

Okay, I rewrote the article to be specifically about ROSATI’S FRANCHISE & DEVELOPMENT LLC. I made this decision because there's an existing redirect with that name that points to this article, and it was the company I was able to find third party coverage of. However, if the other companies using this name are also notable, then the article should be renamed and another article for that Rosati's established. – FenixFeather ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 23:27, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having a number of branches nationwide (or even international-wide) is not sufficient for notability (through of course helps with other things that are).As for local newspaper coverage, it is particularly inadvisable for organizations, see WP:AUD.

Teemu08 (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Teemu08: [42] The article in Chicago Tribune seems solid, but it's about the whole group of Rosati's in general. According to the article, family members get to use the "Rosati's" name for free, which explains why there's 50 different companies that all operate under Rosati's. I think it might be worth thinking about rewriting the article as a collection of companies rather than as one. In any case, the article is still salvageable so I don't think it's a good idea to delete. – FenixFeather ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 17:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This club plays in the third tier of Indian football and I can't believe it isn't a notable organisation. If you search for the club's name in Bengali (পাঠচক্র), it gets over 2,000 Google News hits – I can't tell how many of these are GNG-meeting coverage, but I'd be surprised if there was nothing – we really need a Bengali speaker to advise.

So far the current version is no difference with the first AfD discussion (F dot C nodot). Google hit mean nothing, it should be required to be shown in the article for any language source as WP:verify and they should be non-routine. Just saying stuff not shown on the article may make the club passing WP:GNG, fails verifiability. Matthew_hk t c 19:03, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What i only saw similar article title Pathachakra FC was userfiy to Draft:Pathachakra FC and then abandoned, while the current version Pathachakra F.C. may qualify CSD G4 (as the recreation of Pathachakra F.C). It make no point in an encyclopedia that merely a collection of squad list, as well as lack of user to build a true article with brief club history (even lack of machine translation by google).

Hans Dobek

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

Article created by User:OberRanks, known for falsifying sources (see User:Future Perfect at Sunrise/OberRanks#Hans Dobek for analysis). In addition to the general problem of source credibility, we have a special verification and notability problem here: we don't even know what this person's name was. This is an otherwise non-notable military officer (clearly failing WP:MILBIO as such), whose only moment of potential notability is that he once dodged active participation in a massacre of civilians (a "one-event" notability at best). But the name of the guy who did that is given in various reliable sources in multiple different versions: some sources say it was one Hans (or Johann) Dobek, while others say it was somebody called Hellmuth (or Helmuth) Dobrick (or Dobbrick). So, are "Dobek" and "Dobrick" the same person? The article's lead sentence currently implies that we are dealing with a single man who genuinely went under two different names, which is highly unlikely. Is one of the two names the correct one and the other simply a mis-spelling? Or were there actually two men, one Dobek and one Dobrick? In the latter case, were both of them connected to that SS unit in Rome? If yes, which of these men is this article about? Do we know that the guy whose (non-)role in the Ardeatine massacres is mentioned in sources is the same one about whom we have (non-reliably sourced) biographical data?

Even if we could find answers to these questions: The fact that none of the reliable sources in the literature that mention him even goes so far as to notice the objective contradiction in the sources, let alone comment on it or explain it, just demonstrates that none of them has taken Dobek/Dobrick as a subject of biographical interest in its own right; that's the clearest proof of non-notability.

Delete. Given the dearth of sources, and the fact that the article creator is site banned for chronic source fabrication and source misrepresentation, we can't even assume anything included in the article that's not well sourced is true. One source is a discussion forum, one is simply an obituary, and one is a 404, so we can't trust a word of it. Even without the problems with the author and even if we could trust the content, I'm still not seeing notability. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~Delete the sources I could find were in Italian and German, which appear to briefly mention Dobek (with this spelling) and his non-involvement in the massacres. In Italian there is this and in German the Prauser article in Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte is available via JSTOR and may have more detail on Dobek. At this stage I'm not seeing significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to meet the GNG, but I will look at the JSTOR article shortly to see if there is enough there. Footnotes 1 and 2 are definitely not RS. Definitely does not meet WP:SOLDIER. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- The Prauser article is now online here: [43]. It does mention "Dobek" briefly (on the page indicated, p.292f.), also noting that some of the primary sources call him Dobrick instead (the author marks that with a "[sic]"). There's a brief discussion of whether he actually refused an order to participate in the massacre or whether he simply maneuvred to have it done by others, and a remark that he died before the end of the war and could therefore never be asked about it. It doesn't match the contents that are being cited to it in the article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. It doesn't seem anyone wants to touch this with a 10' pole. I am trying to figure out why. I see that the article went through AfC and was accepted (eventually) by Legacypac back in March under the premise that the subject also owns a lot of radio stations. However, the editor who created the article, Orual1963, has a VERY brief and recent edit history (53 edits) and has only made significant contributions to this article and one other article, and stopped editing once this article was published; there is no paid editing declaration on that editor's user page, but neither has there been any response to being notified that I nominated the article for deletion, which makes me think this was a kind of throwaway account and that the editor who wrote the article was probably paid but didn't declare it. I am doubly suspicious because the subject was recently running for election. The AfC draft was declined several times because other editors didn't think the subject was notable. If the article seems pretty likely to be the result of an undeclared paid edit by an in-and-out editor, isn't that by itself enough reason to delete it? If not, isn't the fact that the subject is an unelected political candidate enough to delete it? If not, aren't those two things together enough to delete it? Or does the fact that it went through AfC protect it from deletion somehow? A loose noose (talk) 23:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AfC doesn't protect an article from deletion at all. I haven't "touched this" yet because he fails WP:NPOL but I didn't look to see if he passed WP:GNG for his non-political work. If there's a COI issue, that's worth raising. SportingFlyer talk 00:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then I guess maybe I am raising it (?). But if the original author is no longer active and there is no declared COI, how can I prove this? The innuendo seems believable, but without a COI declaration, there isn't anything to go by (that I know of). What kind of evidence would count? Also, during the AfC discussion, Legacypac determined that "Multiple runs for national office, even if he loses, can build to notability. The 30 broadcast stations would generate RS coverage in multiple markets during purchase, relicensing etc." A search on the subject's name produces a huge volume of articles related to his candidacy, but I didn't come across any discussion of him on other grounds. We can't ever find that he is not notable (per se), we can only find that he either is notable or we can fail to find that he is notable (yet), which is very different. How do we proceed from there? A loose noose (talk) 04:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete upon review of the sources in the article and (three quick WP:BEFORE searches) he fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. I expected there to be more about his health and radio work, but there are only a few hits on Google Scholar, and the campaign coverage is mostly routine with the exception of one quasi-bio. SportingFlyer talk 06:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Neither county councillors nor unsuccessful candidates in party primaries get an automatic inclusion freebie under NPOL just for existing, his notability as a radio station owner is not properly demonstrated by the purely routine directory sources being shown for that, and there's no demonstration of his notability as a radiologist being shown at all. This is far, far too dependent on primary sources, with not nearly enough real reliable source coverage in media to deem his work in any of these fields special.

Mineral Royalties for Citizens and Military

I fail to see anything resembling significant (or trivial) coverage of the subject, discussed here-in by any media-source or book or academic journals.

Frankly, going by it's proposed ramifications, if it had managed to evolve to anything beyond the brain-storming-stage, it ought to be national-fodder for a span of time and I don't remotely recollect reading anything about this in print-media.

Also, the write-up style significantly indicates that we are being used as a promotional-tool to promote the proposed idea and Rahul Mehta, a wannabe-politician himself.

And, off-wiki evidence along with the edit-summary at this edit indicates that the article-creator has an undisclosed COI.

I fail to see anything resembling any significant (or trivial) coverage of the subject, discussed here-in by any reliable media-source or recently published books in the Indian-political-scenario or academic journals of repute.

Frankly, going by it's proposed ramifications, if it had managed to evolve to anything beyond the brain-storming-stage, it ought to be national-fodder for a span of time and I don't remotely recollect reading anything about this in print-media.

Also, the write-up style significantly indicates that we are being used as a promotional-tool to promote the proposed idea and Rahul Mehta, a wannabe-politician himself.

Also, the reference to HT, is a fake reference in the sense that it talks about an entirely and radically different idea of recall, which further points to some probable nefarious purpose.

Ughh. It was created in 2012; has it been a "proposed law" ever since or was it passed? That should be easy enough to esatblish (I guess); If the former, then I votes delete, if the latter I votes keep. News outlets give bugger all, whilst GBooks makes only a vague mention of such a thing under...err...the East India Company :D although I wonder whether Google tailors my results to where I am, and thus native searches (hope I've expressed that OKm, apologies if it sounds cretinous) might bring up far more nuanced results. Cheers, —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 13:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Serial Number 54129, self-described-activists who are often wannabe politicians have a tendency to come up with glorious ideas as to reformation of the system.It's one such idea, which failed to get any traction out of his own website.Even the mere tabling or mention of the bill in the parliament is a far-fetched idea(:

The one, which is reffed at HT was proposed by Varun Gandhi, (an INC MP) and is radically different, way too simpler and has no minimal association with Mehta. It was rejected, though.

I did a news-search on Mehta, the brain-child of all these fuckwitted-ideas (check my contribs...) and there is expectedly not a single mention anywhere that can be prominently scoured.Obviously, as some off-wiki evidence indicates, (Check the author of a Quora answer on this topic and search for the article-creator's name + RTR, over Google:-) ) they were utilising WP for plain spamming.

And, EIC, you've crawled umm..... about two centuries back....Whilst, that's not much long and old is gold, I'm inclined to think that the article-creator won't have much admiration for the reference:-)

For a note, the broader theme was once mentioned in a parliament session, as an idea, in 1996 in a very minimal manner.The transactions are view-able over here.∯WBG^converse 14:08, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been some in-general discussions and discourses about the broader theme of recalling elected MPs. Barring Varun, nobody ever undertook any concrete step. And, whatever you've used as references is certainly not in any form or manner linked with the subject that is currently present at the article (or rather was present from beginning). At best, you can add a section at Recall election and redirect it to the broader article, as I wrote in the nom. Nothing more.

And, whilst you can cite AFDISNOTCLEANUP, I refuse to beleive that somebody spamming WP ought be provided the oppurtunity of preserving some spam in the history of an article.

The locus that you've entirely missed is that I have no qualms on creating an article on the general locus of right to recall from an Indian perspective.It's expected (and evident) that right to recall has been discussed for every democratic country.But, the point is that it will be a generalized take on the issue and not something like the current ever-consistent version of the current article.For, pretty nothing except Varun's bill has happened on-ground.

Though I believe a better approach is to tackle all such ideas on a broader page about electoral reforms in India.∯WBG^converse 12:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WBG, as I replied on my talk page, I prefer to discuss on the notability of the article instead of the author at AfD, we can talk about the Author at ANI. You keep naming Varun Gandhi, did you miss Vajpayee ? As I said, this is not a recent topic but has been going on for years, and has amassed enough SIGCOV to merit an article of its own. I disagree with a redirect to Recall Election due to the same reasons. WP:TNT is not applicable here, not yet. regards--DBig Xrayᗙ 13:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the same ereference has been used by me in this very AFD, (before you) it seems unlikely that I have missed it. If you read the entire transcripts of the session, that proposed bill was near-unanimously rejected (by a strength of voice) and Vajpayee spoke for a very short time on the theme, which has been duly noted.It might be noted that multiple broad themes or topics are discussed over Loksabha proceedings and that's not an indicator of any notability. Neither are op-eds. That obviously does not contradict the fact that the right to recall is a discussed electoral reform in India in academic circles and the verity of it is beyond doubt. But we don't need to improve it by discounting our anti-promotional stances.Delete this mess and create a de-novo aryicley on the general theme, which might be merged somewhere, shall it seem to be prudential. Period.∯WBG^converse 13:46, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Neither being an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary nor being a county court judge constitutes an article-clinching notability claim, but this makes no credible claim that he's somehow a special case over and above all the other non-notable people who've done the same things. The closest thing to such a claim, that one court case he was involved in got wider national coverage than usual, is clobbered by the fact that said coverage is not about him — that coverage might support an event article about the case, but it does not help the case's presiding judge earn a WP:BLP as a person. And since both primary candidates and county court judges are simply and routinely expected to receive some local coverage in their own local media, the existence of some such coverage is not an automatic WP:GNG pass in and of itself either. All of which means that nothing here is enough to earn him a Wikipedia article — and furthermore, the article was created by a sockpuppet of a banned paid-editor. Bearcat (talk) 13:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
leaning keep. He's had a lot of civic affairs coverage over the years, culminting last year when he was President of the Lions Clubs International, and seems to have gone on the nationand and international Lions Club, with press coverage of him shaking hands with the President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen and a lot of other people. searching gNews on Corlew + "Lions Club]] brings up some of this, after you scroll past the recent election coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Per the Lions Club argument, there's some local coverage, a decent local bio, and a few name-drops where the Lions Club acted in local regions, but none of the recent other Lions Club presidents have an article (it's a year term apparently) and I don't see enough coverage that would make him independently notable as the Lions Club president. SportingFlyer talk 06:20, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only thing that might give him notability was his involvement with the highly contentious and litigated case of the Murphreesboro Mosque. However having recently moved from Sterling Heights into Detroit and thus left a city where the exact same open meetings act violation strategy was used to attack a mosque, I think this needs to be considered in a larger persepctive. Anyway, this was a strategy determined by lawyers or activitsts, and he just considered the merits, and his ruling was oveturned on appeal. Short of scholarly law journal articles giving indepth consideration of Corlew's rulings in the matter, I do not think we have enough to justify an article. Part of me suspects this may in the future be something that gets indepth analysis, but we have to remember that as an encyclopedia Wikipedia is not on the cutting edge of publishing research but is supposed to reflect what has already been published in reliable secondary sources, and we do not have those indepth and considered analisists of Corlew's work to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:25, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And since every candidate in every election everywhere always gets some campaign coverage while the election is underway, the existence of a couple of citations to campaign coverage is not an automatic WP:GNG clincher in the absence of an actual notability claim.

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

Most of the sources are minor festival listings, which are primary sources, not independent, and trivial coverage. Among the Bengali-language sources, newsviewsbd.com and MediaTimes24 are obscure sites with no reputation for accuracy or fact checking, but The Daily Ittefaq, Bangla Mail 24, and dhallywood24.com are reliable. Dariya News is probably reliable. Searches of the usual types found additional fleeting mentions,[51][52][53] but nothing that would improve the article.

This two-minute student film by a non-notable director clearly doesn't meet WP:NFILM. There's a small cluster of coverage following the Free Spirit Film Festival audience award (11 of the 19 films screened won at least one award), and one piece the next year announcing that it would be at the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival. Are these brief (even by Bengali standards) articles independent of the subject (not regurgitated press releases) and significant coverage, such that it meets WP:GNG? My evaluation is no, but I'm open to discussion. Worldbruce (talk) 07:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Media companies are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just because they own media assets — they still have to clear the same inclusion standards as any other company, namely that they're the subject of enough reliable source coverage, in media other than their own self-published content about themselves, to clear WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. But even on a deep ProQuest search, I was not able to find any real coverage to salvage this with — all I got was glancing namechecks of this company's existence in coverage of other things, and its own press releases about itself.

Delete or Merge - There already is an article about Square, Inc. Timeline articles like this for companies are not standard practice on Wikipedia, nor should they be, and I don't see any reason for this to exist as a separate article from Square, Inc. This information is already covered there. Even if we had timeline articles on companies, they would only make sense for very major companies with long, complicated histories such as Hudson's Bay Company, not recently founded companies like this one. If there is any information in this article that is not covered in that article it can be merged but I doubt there is much that would need that treatment.

Delete - a non-notable tornado, tornadoes happen all the time, most of them are not on Wikipedia. Also the name of this article is rather odd. Usually named storms have much shorter names. But since this storm was so unimportant it was not a named storm. The Weather Channel writes articles all the time about every single weather event going on, that does not make them notable. They have a need to generate new content every day regardless of whether it is notable content or not. Thus there are no sources passing WP:GNG. Yetisyny (talk) 08:13, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is obviously not the name of a tornado; it's the wording of a headline about a surprise tornado or storm.

Nick Moyes (talk) 23:23, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Setting aside the title, this doesn't meet WP:EVENT. There are some sources ([55], [56], [57]), but no lasting effects and no national or international significance. With four and a half years of hindsight it's clear that WP:PERSISTENCE applies: "Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article." – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:EVENT and WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage.

Keep. Per WP:BIO and WP:Basic, well worded by AuthorAuthor above. Next, per WP:NEXIST the "unsourced" claim of the nominator was always irrelevant. It was equally irrelevant before and after referencing. We have no rules against stubs either. Then, per WP:BIO1E: "if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles, for example, Howard Brennan, a witness to the JFK assassination."

Keep It always seems to me that defunct companies are more appropriate for recording in an encyclopedia than extant ones and the rationale for the revamped Wikipedia:Notability (companies) does not apply because there is no need "to prevent gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals". That it was separately taken over in two countries makes merging the article problematic and incorporating it into a list just makes things more directory-like. No, it meets WP:N and is OK as it is.

Delete I cannot find a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Most are company announcements or based on company announcements.

Well, I was seeing these sorts of thing.[62][63][64][65] Thincat (talk) 09:05, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thincat, yeah, its easy type in the name and get lots of hits but the criteria for companies/organizations is much stricter than for other types of articles. Especially ORGIND and the requirement that articles must be intellectually independent. None of those references meet the criteria for establishing notability. References must be intellectually independent. The Book "State of Mind" fails because it relies almost exclusively on an interview with Evan Chritsou. Fails as it is not Intellectually Independent and WP:ORGIND. This newspaper article contains a quote from the Kingston weekend manager, it is not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND. It also contains no in-depth information on the company and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. This newspaper article is marginally better but again, it does not contain enough intellectually independent information and reverts to a products and a quotation from a connected source, definitely fails WP:CORPDEPTH and probable also WP:ORGIND. This final newspaper article contains a small paragraph in the context of a larger article on a company called Franchise Developments. Again, the article is written in such a way that is appears the information originated from Franchise Developments - a connected source. It therefore fails WP:ORGIND. It also fail WP:CORPDEPTH.— Preceding unsigned comment added by HighKing (talk • contribs) 05:50, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

- This is not a suitable merge, as Pizza Haven was acquired by different operators in different countries - as you'd see if you'd read that the nominator suggested a merge with Pizza Hut. Beyond that, it can't "preserve" appropriate content - it was a huge competitor of Eagle Boys for decades, so either you make half the Eagle Boys article about a competitor they acquired, or you reduce a company that was as big and as notable as your proposed target in its time to a footnote. Absolutely nothing in WP:ATD-M suggests that this would be a suitable merge candidate. The Drover's Wife (talk) 19:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response I already commented on the first book reference. It fails because it relies almost exclusively on an interview with Evan Chritsou.

" It was deprodded since it was previously prodded and deprodded, my bad - but the article is still failing notability policies, so time for an AfD review.

Keep. A national brand by a major manufacturer is pretty much the opposite of non-notable AfD is not a substitute for cleanup. And that op-ed is deeply flawed because, bluntly, it fails WP:AFG. It is not a valid deletion rationale. PS, I also de-prodded Curad as a national brand with over 60 years of continuous use owned by a major medical supply company is also easily notable. Just because they haven't become genericized trademarks like Band-Aid doesn't make them on-notable. oknazevad (talk) 05:20, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum. You fail WP:BEFORE in all your actions, too. Prodding Elastoplast, a brand so notable that its name is as much a genericized trademark as Band-Aid in British English (a fact that is sourced in the article) proves you should not be AfD'ing anything, as you cannot bother to do the required work. This should be speedy closed as not in good faith. oknazevad (talk) 05:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Doesn't matter if something is known to you. Others, like myself, might have never heard of it. Just because a company has a 60+ years history doesn't make it notable. The onus to prove notability is on the one's writing the article and wanting to keep it. We have policies I cited, and I did before - and all I see are press releases and mentions in passing. You fail to provide good argument (sources) outside WP:ITSNOTABLE; so if anyone needs a policy refresher, it's you. If you want to prove something is notable, best way is to find sources, like I did here. Please try to help with the spam, not help the spam. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The two-fold problem is that a) you're tagging articles that already demonstrate notability (Elastoplast already proved its notability with the dislctionary reference) and b) you keep misusing the term "spam" which specifically means an unsolicited commercial message. Unless it's paid editing, the word you're looking for is "cruft", which can be an issue, but is good faith editing. oknazevad (talk) 18:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those are valid points, although I would dispute that a dictionary reference is enough for notability. It is indicative of notability, but not guaranteed. Anyway, I agree now that E...plast is notable, but well, we are here to discuss Nexcare. Which, pehraps, is not a spam - but it is rather 'crufty'... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They may well not be reliable, but if you make claims they are all bad, well, prove it. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:31, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The team in question is a non-professional 5th-level team in Lisbon. As for the sources, the only one that is significant coverage and isn't affiliated with the subject is No. 9, which is a Portuguese sports publication documenting one match that Aguais de Camarate played in. Googling that publication's name (Record Portugal) together with Aguais de Camarate returns two other articles, both of which give fairly trivial coverage of the subject.

Keep Águias de Camarate played in the national third division in 1999-00 and while not every Segunda Divisiao team has an article, they do appear to have been consistently significantly covered at least in that season: [74] and in seasons afterwards: [75] (seems to be a lot of historical coverage in record.pt) and have a new synthetic pitch [76] and even apparently hosted Madonna (not really significant coverage, but still!) [77] [78]. Also played in the Portuguese cup for several seasons, starting in the second round. The article needs significant cleanup and I wouldn't be adverse to a draftify.

Delete Since WP:NFOOTBALL doesn't apply to teams (it's to individual players that playing at the national level equates to notability), WP:GNG applies, which relies upon in-depth and persistent coverage in reliable sources which is simply not available. This is not really a surprise: it is a local club with a stadium capacity of 1500. Yes, it makes claims as to various achievements, but they are not backed up with sources, and this is very much a case that "Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources". —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 15:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing "exceptional" about this - it's simply a translation of the Portuguese page for a club which played in the national cup and third division 18 years ago, which generated consistent press coverage in those seasons in spite of its overall low stature.

The objection was notability of sources, not sheer number of sources. Looking at the revisions, all of the sources that were added appear to be score listings from zerozero.pt (like this ^[1]), which does not constitute significant, in-depth coverage as mandated by WP:GNG. These sources are fine for substantiating the various claims they're attached to regarding Camarate's performance in local tournaments, but they do not demonstrate notability of the subject as a whole.Rosguill^talk 19:07, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Yes, it makes claims as to various achievements, but they are not backed up with sources..." by —SerialNumber54129, This sources back up all the achievements of the club, proving that all that is written is true. And zerozero is an official reliable site that contains all the results, achievements, history, etc., from every club. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel AR Pires (talk • contribs) 20:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have not demonstrated that these achievements are notable: I don't see any reason that winning a non-professional district-level tournament should be considered notable unless it has significant coverage in reliable sources. While ZeroZero may be reliable in reporting scores, its coverage is not significant or in-depth. I would expect to see multiple sources reporting long-form articles (in Portuguese is fine) in order to consider the coverage significant and in-depth. Additionally the content currently included is downright misleading: the awards list currently lists "National Champion" and "Win [sic] the Europa League Champions League". However, this does not refer to the well-known Europa League or Champions League, but some non-professional tournament held in Loures, whose only citation is the website of the group hosting the tournament. Rosguill^talk 20:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is the official Europa League of Initiates echelon, they win it against a foreign team from europe, and there are other sources that can confirm all the achievements but ZeroZero is the main Sports official source, the other ones are trust worthy too, but its unnecessary to put more than 2/3 sources stating the same facts.--Daniel AR Pires (talk) 22:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~I believe that at this point there is no further need to prove that these scores are accurate.~~ I can't seem to find anything by googling "Europa League of Initiates". Are you sure you translated this name correctly? Additionally, attempting to google "Champions in Loures", which appears to be the name of the tournament in question, only returns sites affiliated with the organization hosting the tournament, which doesn't appear to be affiliated with FIFA or any other readily recognizable European soccer organization. At any rate, more important than identifying this tournament, is providing evidence of significant coverage of the team: that means full-length articles about the subject from reliable third-party sources, not just score summaries. Rosguill^talk 00:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already changed the name from Europa League Champions League in Loures to "Europa League/Champions League in Loures" which means there can not be a confusion because based on grammar the use of (" ") is referring to a name in particular, so since the name of the tournament was "Europa League/Champions League in Loures", and not "Champions League", or "Europa League" only, so now the name is politically correct. Regarding the lack of third-party sources i'm trying every day to add more and more sources, but it takes time.--Daniel AR Pires (talk) 17:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify the significance of the "Champions in Loures" tournament? Based on the content at ^[2] the tournament appears to be a children's tournament, advertising competitions for ages 8-and-under to 15-and-under, as well as "medals for all participants" (Portuguese: medalhas para todos os participantes). I don't see any indication that this tournament is associated with a professional soccer league, other than your insistence that it is "the official Europa League of Initiates echelon", which once again is not something I can find online by that name. Rosguill^talk 18:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's what they call to the tournament, the organization tournament is "Champions in Loures" and then there is a "Europa League", the organization calls it "Europa League Champions in Loures" that is the real name of the tournament, if it is linked to the official UEFA, FIFA, etc. I can not assure you, but see for yourself -> ^[3] ^[4] --Daniel AR Pires (talk) 18:49, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When first asked to justify this tournament a few replies above, you said It is the official Europa League of Initiates echelon, they win it against a foreign team from europe. Perhaps we misinterpreted each other, but at the time I took this comment to imply that this tournament was significant and affiliated with an official Europa League body. This last reply seems to confirm that this tournament is not in fact a professional tournament and is not a priori notable. If you agree with this assessment, I have no further comment. Rosguill^talk 18:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment For additional consideration, there is reason to believe from the edit summaries for the article that Daniel AR Pires has a conflict of interest, as they claim in their most recent edit summary that text they provided was "reviewed by the President of the club".

Please review the History in the Taça de Portugal section, which currently includes statements like

In our second appearance on the so-called "Proof Queen" of Portuguese football we were headed to Vila Franca de Xira to face Vilafranquense, we won the match 1-0 and went on to the 1/64 Round of 32 where we were lucky SC Braga in our field. Game played until today remembered by many, by the delivery of our players (who beat the same against an already renamed Braga) and by the bad weather that was felt. We lost the match 2-1 (Manel's goal).

without any quotation marks or other notation that would identify it as a quote. The source, moreover, was ^[5], which is a list of scores. Nothing in that source mentions bad weather or what the players remembered. Moreover, it's not clear how you know that the club president reviewed this..Rosguill^talk 18:17, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When I said that it "was reviewed by the president on the source that I attached to the text." I'm referring to this attached source ^[6], this is the official website of the club, so if something is there obviously it needs to pass through the president's hands. That is why I stated that. And in the end of the "HISTÓRIA DO CLUBE" you can find: "Presentemente, o Grupo Desportivo Águias de Camarate conta com uma nova direção, desde 01 de Fevereiro de 2014." which means: "At present, Grupo Desportivo Águias de Camarate has a new management since February 1, 2014.", so that was clearly reviewed or possibly written by the president. --Daniel AR Pires (talk) 18:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep User:SportingFlyer has pointed out a number of reasons for keeping the article which I concur too, if he was able to pull those citations out of the hat I really don't think the nominator has done his homework in sending this to AfD.

Like I did, I undo your attacks and went source for more sources to improve the article, if there is anyone here violating any sort of rule, it's you because you blindly attacked an article instead of improving it. And your statement of me "generally showing complete ownership over it." it's completely false because I support and encourage others to participate on Wikipedia, I do not delete any other user edit, but what you did was not an improvement of the article but something that can be called vandalism.--Daniel AR Pires (talk) 20:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel AR Pires:, from viewing the diff page for those edits, the vast majority of the content you reinstated after Serial Number removed it was literally a copy-paste from the google translation of Aguais de Camarate's website^[7]. Not only is this content not from a reliable source (primary sources published by the subject are not reliable sources) and blatantly promotional, it hadn't been even slightly copy-edited and is almost incomprehensible in English. It is also a violation of WP:COPYPASTE, and possibly a WP:COPYVIO violation (I can't seem to find guidelines for assessing copyright violations for translated text. However, outside of Wikipedia, translating a text cannot be done without permission form the holder of the copyright). If you were intending to improve upon the content after pasting it into the article, I would suggest that you do so as a draft and not as a published article viewable to the public. There is no reason to accuse Serial Number of vandalism.Rosguill^talk 20:31, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosguill: What he did shouldn't be done, but now those parts deleted by Serial Number are properly backed up by reliable third-party sources, I completely agree that the article needs to receive a significant copy-editing for grammar and accuracy. It should be reviewed but if it could be done quick there's nothing that should stop it of been kept as an article in my personal opinion.

With all due respect, I don't believe that the examples cited by SportingFlyer constitute significant coverage per WP:GNG. GNG very clearly states that routine and sports coverage is not significant, and as Serial Number54129 has said above, WP:NSPORT does not apply to teams (see WP:NTEAM) and says that WP:GNG is the standard to which teams are held. That leaves only municipiosefreguesias.pt as a candidate for being an RS, which is a source that I can't seem to find any third-party mention of on Google to verify reliability. Upon investigating the site, while it does have some news coverage, it also seems to double as an events announcement page and also includes a directory of businesses in Portugal, which IMO are marks against its reliability in the absence of any positive arguments. Rosguill^talk 18:01, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a logical fallacy to discount sports scores as WP:ROUTINE for determining the notability of teams as opposed to players - these were articles about the club and not agate. This team received consistent significant coverage the year they were in the third division. I wouldn't mind a TNT delete as this was a translate/copy/paste from the Portuguese version, but I see no reason to believe they're not notable, or to discount lots of coverage. SportingFlyer talk 19:15, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this discussion illustrates a failing of the existing notability guidelines for teams, which should perhaps be raised at the Village Pump. I do see that there is an essay at WP:FOOTYN that supports your interpretation of notability, and based on that would amend my delete recommendation to a delete/draftify until the article receives significant copy-editing for grammar and accuracy, and removes self-promotional content. There are also some COI allegations that remain unaddressed. Rosguill^talk 19:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a draftify. SportingFlyer talk 22:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sources currently in the article are not enough to demonstrate that the topic meets the general notability guideline ~~or the notability guideline for organisations and companies~~, both of which require not just routine coverage (which I believe would be an accurate description of the sources linked above by SportingFlyer) but significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I haven't been able to find any other sources that would indicate notability. It's possible that there are Portuguese-language or offline sources that I've been unable to find (the latter especially given that they apparently saw their most successful season in 1999/2000), but I would expect that, if that were the case, Google News would turn up a little more than it does. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sports clubs do not fall under WP:NCORP. I don't remember exactly which AfD I remember the argument being made, but they were specifically removed from NCORP maybe a year ago? Also see my argument above about how "routine" coverage of match recaps actually demonstrates notability for sports teams (as opposed to players), because routine coverage for clubs shows the club was notable enough to be consistently covered in the media (at least the year they were in the third division.) Contrast this to club scores in agate, or notability for a player. SportingFlyer talk 22:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Despite several sources been about the results that is very important to prove they're both true and reliable which helps the article as a whole. But not only that, you can see now after some editing it was added some considered amount of articles about the subject from reliable third-party sources like: ^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] ^[12] ^[13] and others... However I completely agree that the article needs to receive a significant copy-editing for grammar and accuracy. It should be reviewed, but nevertheless it's a well rounded relevant and backup article, so give it a time to get it's grammar and accuracy and there is nothing more to criticize. --Daniel AR Pires (talk) 22:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reminding me of that. I'd assumed, I now realise probably incorrectly, that there was a pertinent distinction between sports teams narrowly construed and the sort of organisation this article is about, which comprises multiple teams across multiple sports. Perhaps it's a grey area; either way, I've struck that part of my vote, though I believe the rest still applies. As far as WP:ROUTINE is concerned, the guideline simply doesn't provide enough detail to conclusively say whether or not it applies to the sources in question, so your interpretation is no less valid than mine. We can't consider these things entirely in isolation though, and my sense that ROUTINE applies is informed by the broader context I outline in my final sentence above. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sourcing provided by Gregory shows that at least academics think that Ziser was key to the proposal passing in Nevada. I was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nevada in 2000 and can say most assuredly that key to the success of the proposal was active encouraging of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to financially assist and assist with time the campaign. This included large financial contributions from areas that were not financially well-off, such as the region close to the Nevada Las Vegas Temple, and active support from Democrats who had served in the state legislature. Official political action requests on the part of the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is very rare, so when it happens it has a very high power to bring about results, and this was seen in the Protect Marriage Campaign.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:27, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, you, and Peterkringiron, made assertions without reading material that had been added to the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see everything about him added. I have read and reread the page and don't see every demonstration of notability that users have mentioned as a reason to keep the article. Currently, this is just a bunch of bulleted notes in a semi-unorganized manner. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 09:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:N: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." Bakazaka (talk) 18:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And where is notability demonstrated? Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 21:16, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion has already identified several sources contributing to notability, and a search in ProQuest reveals many more, dozens of which predate the run for office. Those are suitable sources, and they exist. As pointed out above, according to WP:N they do not have to be in the article currently. Also worth noting is WP:SOURCEACCESS, part of WP:V, which says "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access." WP:GNG is satisfied. Bakazaka (talk) 21:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. The in-line sourcing is solid. But this is an old page with a list of bullet point articles appended. Someone could use them to improve the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And if nobody fixes this article, then it's still not a good article. If we Blow up + start over, it'll have a clean slate and as a result, flow better and look better. This has been AfDed for weeks now and only citation improvements have been added, not structural. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 12:34, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does this article/subject pass WP:GNG? I nominated this AfD because of that policy. I see very few sources about him. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 09:58, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLUDGEON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't BludgeOn. It's redirecting the content towards the nomination issue. Other arguments are Straw Man because I never mentioned them. if no discussion on nomination, then the close result won't be accurate. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 12:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this is an article about a political activist who headed up a statewide campaign to pass a controversial constitutional amendment almost 20 years ago. As I often do, I used a Proquest News Archive search to check notability when I first came upon this at AfD. It is paywalled. I do not know how to get around the problem that editors blessed with the ability to cross pricey paywalls can find sources that many editors cannot find. I run into this frequently at AfD. Zizer is also validated by INDEPTH in a book that I added to the page. But in many cases, paywalled archive searches are our best safeguard against our endemic WP:PRESENTISM bias.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added neutral profiles from TEDx, Skoll, Echoing Green and a report from Seibel Scholars.

A band member of Tang Dynasty, but there is no evidence of independent notability for the musician outside of the band to justify an individual article. Simply being a lecturer does not qualify the person under WP:NACADEMICS. Normally such articles are redirected to the band per WP:MUSICBIO, however, repeated removal of redirect means that assessment by the wider community may be necessary.

No source for notability except a single-article in a niche industry source. All other sources are directories or social media. Zubin12 (talk) 00:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep @Zubin12: An administrator (User:Bbb23) has already declined your previous A7 deletion. There's a reason why the admin declined it.

Delete for not being notable under WP:GNG. Yes, there is a reason speedy deletion was declined and this was correct, but criteria for speedy deletion are different from criteria for deletion under Articles for Deletion. Speedy deletion is narrowly defined, deletion under AfD is broadly defined. Bringing up a failed attempt at speedy deletion is irrelevant to this discussion.

Cases of mass hysteria in India

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

A grab bag of incidents all described as "mass hysteria", with the only source referring to them collectively being the Hindustan Times. While individual incidents may be notable, I don't see any need to collect them all here--at worst this could be seen as POV-pushing India as a particularly superstitious country. I'm also troubled by the use of the term "hysteria" to describe a discrete psychological state, as it is no longer employed this way by medical professionals due to the term's history.

Keep/merge The worst case would be merger into List of mass hysteria cases per WP:PRESERVE. As we have Mass hysteria in the United States, any restructuring should be systematic to avoid systemic bias. Andrew D. (talk) 07:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into List of mass hysteria cases as suggested by Andrew Davidson. That is a category, not an article, about mass hysteria in the United States. I do not see similar articles for any other countries besides India and that seems like systemic bias against India, in keeping with the concerns of the nominator Rosguill. The nominator makes very good points and it would be best to merge this. Promoting a POV that India is a backwards, superstitious country as this article implicitly does is a case of systemic bias on Wikipedia in favor of wealthy first-world countries where most editors are from, and violates NPOV. Whatever you do, do not keep the article, if merging cannot be agreed on I would rather it be Deleted than kept. I think merging is a reasonable compromise. Yetisyny (talk) 07:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Random grab bag. Can't imagine why anyone would be in favour of keeping this mess. Andrew's comment (linking to a category that includes standalone articles on the War of the Worlds incident and the Salem witch trials, while carefully piping the link so it looks like it leads to an article with that title) is one of the worst cases of WP:OSE I've seen since ... well ... WP:PRESERVE also doesn't apply, as most if not all of this is covered in other articles already. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 07:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree regarding that comment by Andrew trying to hide that it was a category, not an article, being linked to. As far as why anyone would be in favor of keeping it, I do think that the most notable instances from this, which are not already in the List of mass hysteria cases article should be merged into there but I am not saying to merge ALL things listed in this article into there, a lot of the stuff in this article is just not that important. Obviously it would need some serious editing to get merged, only keeping the things important enough to be listed in the target article. Yetisyny (talk) 07:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FTR, I saw and appreciated the above. Your "merge" comment above was not my target with the "can't imagine why anyone would be in favour of keeping this" statement. I initially thought using the "thank" function would be clear enough, but then I realized that you're the only one who knows what comment of yours I was thanking you for, and others can see this discussion but won't check our thank logs. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:07, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is perfectly acceptable and commonplace wiki editing to pipe a cat link to hide the technical aspect. Even if it might be confusing here, you cannot assign any sort of bad faith to such an edit, let alone bring it up at ANI. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Edit: As the author of the page I considered the subject of mass hysteria in India to be both notable and worthy of its own consideration. It was created as part of a general effort of mine to create and expand upon topics relating to India.
