Bruce Woolley may be most known as an early member of The Buggles, but appearently that is the only significant independent coverage about him that I've seen. This is mostly an unsourced article that has absolutely no magazines or newspapers covering in-depth about Woolley other than his invovlment with The Buggles. Not even the fact that Woolley has been only credited as a writer of some hits could save this article. EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 23:34, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Quite obviously notable, and a bit of searching would find plenty of coverage, e.g. The Daily Book of Photography, Seventy-Nine, Eighty, High Fidelity, Close to the Edge - the Story of Yes, The Art of Music Publishing, Trouser Press, Not Simply Divine, The Morton Report, The Madison Courier: "Bruce Woolley: Picture of a Pop Star" (also Times-Union), Boston Globe, The Montreal Gazette: "Fine Production Puts Woolley Ahead of the New Wave Pack", LA Times, Classic Rock, Cherry Red Records, The Guardian, The Leader-Post, efe eme, The Phoenix, Billboard, Daily Telegraph. --Michig (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Michig, based on significant coverage in easily found and reliable sources, which prove general notability. Bearian'sBooties 14:41, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
- Keep - The claims of notability were alredy in the article. Although the referening is poor, sources to improve the referencing are readily available as shown above. He is the co-writer of multiple hit songs satisfying WP:CREATIVE. -- Whpq (talk) 15:43, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet either criterion set forth in WP:CRIME. MSJapan (talk) 23:12, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Crime-related deletion discussions. BabbaQ (talk) 23:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - actually the nominator is quite wrong the article does meet criterion per "historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role". Per sustained coverage from time to time troughout the last 10 years and a weeks time of daily coverage by media in Sweden focusing on him as an individual. I have to ask has the nominator read trough the article and all of its sources?. Anyway I will not return to this AfD as I have more important things to handle right now than bickering about this so if it is kept then great as it should be kept if guidelines are followed or if not then so be it.. --BabbaQ (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - If Texas was to abolish the death penalty and Ross was the last person to be executed in the state, this article may be notable, or could at least be merged with an article on Texas law regarding the death penalty. This man committed a murder 12 years ago that received local and state-wide coverage only. I can only find Texas-based media that reported on his death also. This man is not notable. Delete.74.78.72.209 (talk) 18:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- You need to review Wikipedia again.74.78.72.209 (talk) 00:25, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep obviously notable, and 74.78.72.209 "You need to Sweden, Texas|review Wikipedia again]" is an odd comment. Aftonbladet is published in Sweden, Sweden not Sweden, Texas. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A bit short but meets WP:GNG. The ip comment is just plain bizarre. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete That it happens to have coverage in sweden because he was part of a news special in Sweden about the US treatment of murderers is absurd. That's the sort of quirk that does not amount to notability . Keeping this is totally incompatible with our usual practice. If a Swedish newspaper were to cover all US executions because, presumably, they regard the US practice inhumane, would the people executed all be notable? DGG ( talk ) 01:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But now Swedish media has NOT covered ALL american executions. They have covered Vaughn Ross execution in numerous articles. You actually make the argument even better for Keep as you are right, had Swedish media covered numerous executions each execution had not been notable in itself but as media covered Vaughn Ross execution exclusivly it makes it notable. Users Paul McDermott and In ictcu is completely right this article meets WP:GNG and is obviously notable. --BabbaQ (talk) 11:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It's a bit light, but the coverage of the execution also included non-Texas sources, prominently Huffington Post [[1]] and the New York Daily News [[2]]. I see the Swedish coverage as relevant as it, compounded with the denial of guilt until the end, should ensure some continuing attention to this case in the broader debate about the death penalty. To clarify: In this case Sweden refers to the country, not the Texan city, and the source is a major Swedish newspaper. Overall, this article passes GNG in my book.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 00:34, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The article is lacking references that would affirm its encyclopedic value. The facetious writing style suggests this may have been done for fun. In my view, it falls completely short of WP:GNG. And Adoil Descended (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete and redirect to toast. There isn't enough out there to show that this specifically needs its own entry. Wikipedia isn't a repository for a detailing of every dish ever made. It does exist, so a redirect would be a reasonable idea. That said, this is so obviously written to be a joke article that I'm going to try tagging it as blatant vandalism. I don't know if it'd be speedied, but the outcome of this looks to be fairly clear: redirect. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:31, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and redirect per TG79. I agree that it's intended to be humorous, (and who is M.M. Alder anyway?), but possibly not quite vandalism. Peridon (talk) 10:59, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Wikipedia is not a how-to guide or cookbook. No indication that this is notable. I don't see any point to a redirect, subject is not mentioned at the target. JohnCD (talk) 11:27, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Snow Delete That griddle toast exists does not establish notability. To my surprise, I found one cookbook reference: The Commonsense Kitchen: 500 Recipes + Lessons for a Hand-Crafted Life Tom Hudgens (2011), Page 88, Chronicle Books, ISBN 9781452100333, here. It still isn't notable. The only other references are behind newspaper paywalls and one Dallas, Texas (USA) restaurant menu cited by the article. Geoff Who, me? 22:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Numerous gun law articles, including fully automatic/assault weapon law pages.

- Delete...The "Legal status of the AK-47" page is clearly "an attempt to offer or render a legal opinion". While this is not expressly forbidden by Wiki, it should be discouraged. Anyone who has edited Wiki for any length of time can attest to finding factually inaccurate information, propaganda, vandalism, even outright lies throughout the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Even, if an editor is qualified to discuss the subject. It is too easy for correct information to be altered or removed by someone who is NOT qualified to discuss the subject....Wikipedia:Legal disclaimer reads.....
WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT GIVE LEGAL OPINIONS

There is absolutely no assurance that any statement contained in an article touching on legal matters is true, correct or precise.

- Delete. I don't see why a separate article is needed. Select-fire (i.e. "full auto") firearms are prohibited (for civilians) in most parts of the world. There may be one or two cases where the AK is explicitly named in legislation, but most of the article is simply particularizing from the general prohibitions.

- Delete The substantial reference is the UK Trade & Investment case study on assisting this firm to establish a UK office. However on balance I think that article is more about UKTI's assistance process than the firm in-itself, so doesn't demonstrate WP:CORPDEPTH notability for the article subject.

- Speedy delete as G3 hoax. Even if Mojang released that April Fool's statement, this stub doesn't reference it or even have similar information (and no other info is available)—classify as hoax. If someone wants to make a cheap redirect afterwards, I don't think it's necessary, but it could potentially deter future copycats. czar · · 19:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that a PROD has recently been edit-warred over by IP editors, so I had a look at the article, and I have found no evidence at all of notability. The article contains no references, and the external links are all to the product's own web site. Google searches have also failed to produce any evidence of notability. The first Google hits were the company's own web site, the Wikipedia article, a download site, another page on the company's own web site, Facebook, Twitter, a comparison page that merely listed a few features, a forum, five more pages on the company's own web site, and then a spam page, advertising a product unrelated to Xpress Engine, but quoting text from the Wikipedia article Xpress Engine, evidently in an attempt to pull in custom from people searching for it ... and so it goes on through the other hits. Nothing anywhere even remotely suggests notability by Wikipedia standards. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:03, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Delete maybe better Merge? I'm finding just a few articles that does confirm the game was planned including an appearance at an E3 event. Of course, that doesn't mean a whole lot but it does show we had a game here at one point. I don't think deletion is necessarily the best option but outside of merging to the publisher Dreamcatchers (which seems odd), I'm not sure what other course of action is there. It is not like there's a lot of detail on what the game would have been beyond a hybrid racing game. And while I initially thought this was tied to Codemaster's 2009 Fuel, it does appear 100% completely different (as that would have made a good merge point). --MASEM (t) 18:35, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not querying the fact the game was planned. The thing is, it never received much coverage, it was planned by a fairly minor company, and it never got very far into the production. I wouldn't have a problem with a merger into the publisher's article, but I'm not sure how much would really fit there. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:16, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That's what I'm not sure of. I would not merge a game into a publisher if they were only just publishing the game (we usually don't catalog what a publisher offers otherwise), there's no pre-existing IP, the dev studio is not notable. As we don't have to document every planned-but-cancelled game, deletion seems okay, but if we can figure out a good merge target, all the better. --MASEM (t) 17:11, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- @StAnselm, the notability of the entries of a list are not relevant to the notability of the list as a set, see WP:LISTN: "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles." 109.78.205.222 (talk) 09:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree with Presidentman that this falls foul of WP:NOTDIR, particularly point 7: "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations". This article is an excessive cross-categorization, including US churches of the Armenian branches of three flavours of Christianity. It might be preferable to deletion to split the list into three, i.e., List of Armenian Apostolic Churches in the United States etc. One of these lists already exists: List of AEUNA churches. 109.78.205.222 (talk) 10:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Fails WP:LISTN and falls foul of WP:NOTDIR; none of the entries seems notable (at least, none has an article), nor do reliable independent sources discuss the list as a list. The same is true of List of AEUNA churches, which could also be nominated for deletion (in contrast to Armenian Evangelical Union of North America, which is notable). Comparable lists like List of Anglican churches, List of Baptist churches, List of Presbyterian churches in the United States, List of Methodist churches in the United States, List of Quaker meeting houses, etc. are restricted to churches that are notable in some way; that is not the case here. -- 203.171.196.7 (talk) 14:40, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I still believe this article fails WP:GNG. The coverage available is trivial coverage, I believe he fails WP:AUTHOR specifically. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:44, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Walsh seems only to come up for evening passing reference as a witness is two trials, but he is not notable enough that people actually bother to check their facts on him. This used to be a much longer article, that gave us his educational background, but it lacked any sources. His writtings in the International Journal of Mormon Studies have lead to responses on the blog By Common Consent, but I really do not see him rising to the level of being notable. The fact that this article has only expanded by editing by the subject, without him even pointing us to sources that show his claimed notability is telling. This lin [13] does give some background on Walsh, but I really don't see him being cited in reliable sources. Yes, we can bring up multiple sources on his testimony about the conditions at the YFZ ranch, but I don't think even if we could get enough good sources on his testimony in Canada (which my initial take is that we cannot), we can get inflamatory blog calls and one horribly written Washpo article that mentions him in passing without even understanding who he is, but not more than that.

By the article's own admission, it is a promo. A promo with a limited release in the UK, no less. Notability is not substantiated in the article, and its only source appears to be a fansite and is a dead link anyhow. I ran a Google search for the following: (uncover him "i love you" "it's all tears") and received 265 results. Most of them were torrent download sites, the rest were fansites or YouTube pages or what have you. No actual coverage of the subject. It belongs in a place like Discogs, not here.

- Delete This brings to mind WP:GARAGEBAND. Probably more prominent than the fictional example given but it still applies in my book. LazyBastardGuy 23:52, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I think WP:GARAGEBAND is not really applicable here. This group consists of individually notable musicians. In fact, every member of the group has a Wikipedia page, and arguably they meet WP:BAND point 6. Are they a supergroup of blues musicians? Possibly, but given the lack of sources writing about them, I hesitate to say point 6 is met. -- Whpq (talk) 19:52, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The content is very likely a copyvio. See this. The article as it stands is completely unsuitable to the point that it would need to be blown up and started over again. I'm not sure this collaboration of musicians is notable, although the individual members are individually notable. Looking at the deleted contents, and the line-up for this project, it looks the same as the Jon Lord Blues Project which is in horrible shape but which at a cursory glance does appear to be notable. Did this band morph names? The deleted contents would seem to hint they are the same. If so a redirect would be appropriate but given the copyvio concerns, that can be done after deleting the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:. Thanks for feedback. I think, without having gone into it too much, that the Jon Lord project is actually a spin-off of this one, but it's evident that the possible copyvio issues are key here (if not at the other page????). Regards, --Technopat (talk) 18:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - I don't know which came first as teh rambling text doesn't make it very clear. It also doesn't help that there is no reliable source discussing teh band's history on which we can ascertain if the Jon Lord Project is a spin-off. There is no copyvio apparent at the other page. It may not be well-written, but it doesn't appear to have copied material. -- Whpq (talk) 19:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - After more poking around, I found this site which seems to be the source of copy for this article. I read it again more carefully, and it seems that the Jon Lord Blues Project is the original name of the band, and it has undergone name changers after Lord's pancreatic cancer sidelined him from playing, and ultimately he succumbed to the cancer. So I'll reiterate that this must be deleted as a copyvio. The band is best known the Jon Lord Blues Project, so a redirect after the deletion makes sense. -- Whpq (talk) 20:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- As there's no "event" here, this is not a "textbook WP:BLP1E." The policy is not WP:BLP1THINGOFANYKIND, and we do not delete articles just because the subject is notable only because of a physical/medical condition. Plus, as the focus of BLP1E is to avoid separate articles on people incidentally caught up in larger news events who otherwise remain "low-profile", it's nonsensical to try and stretch it to cover someone who played a semi-fictional version of themselves in a feature film, appeared multiple times on The Jerry Springer Show, and was the subject of a TLC special. Clearly not someone who is trying to remain low-profile. So per satisfying WP:GNG as the subject of significant coverage by multiple reliable sources (and sustained over time, so not a NOTNEWS issue), keep. postdlf (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- The 13 references you listed do not show that the company has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. See in that respect Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Blogs such as references 1-4, 6, 8-11, 13 are largely not acceptable (see WP:USERG). References 5, 7 appear to have been directly or indirectly published by the company (see WP:CORPDEPTH), i.e. they do not appear to be independent sources. The TechCrunch reference (reference 11) is acceptable as such but only contains a passing mention of the company amongst quite a few other companies. Thus, so far, we haven't enough coverage to keep the article. --Edcolins (talk) 18:43, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All of the information listed comes from a government report by the Turkish Ministry of Transportation, which is a very reliable and expert source for this particular subject. Furthermore, the policy actually states that articles about future events are allowed to exist if they can be verified. This article meets this requirement.

- Keep, and urge those claiming WP:CRYSTAL violation to actually read that policy. It only prohibits unverifiable speculation, not verifiable content about planned events or works. Major infrastructure projects spend many years in planning and construction, and typically get more coverage in those stages than after they are completed. Such coverage can be found cited in the article and from the news search that I linked above. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, and agree with Phil. If for any reason construction doesn't go ahead the article can be updated to reflect that. But there are definite plans that are moving ahead. WP:CRYSTAL would cover, for example, an article saying an airport will be built based solely on a politician running for office saying "Let's build an airport".

- Cell recursion theory (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is an attempt to publicise a brand new theory, announced to the world in a book published July 2013, which has not yet achieved notability. Whether it ever will do so remains to be seen: if and when it does we can have a Wikipedia article about it.
As originally written, the article was sourced only to the book in which the theory is published ("The Origin of Metazoa: An Algorithmic View of Life", by Rafaele Di Giacomo, Jeffrey H. Schwartz & Bruno Maresca). It is perhaps worth mentioning that the article was created by a single purpose account, every single one of whose edits publicises work by Rafaele Di Giacomo. The article was given a PROD saying, amongst other things, "Article is only sourced to a single paper from earlier this month", and, after the author of the article removed the PROD, the article was tagged with {{one source}}. After that, the author added a whole string more "references", evidently in an attempt to avoid the impression of there being only one source. However, all of those additional sources were published years before the invention of Cell recursion theory. In fact, these additional references are not actually used in the article as citations for any statement about Cell recursion theory: they are used as citations for other matters that the article tries to link to Cell recursion theory: for example, the article says Brenner also stated that: “Biology urgently needs a theoretical basis to unify it and it is only theory that will allow us to convert data to knowledge”, and gives a reference for that, but it does not say that Brenner actually said anything about Cell recursion theory; nor could it, as the cited source was published three years before the publication of Cell recursion theory.
I have just done a Google search for -wikipedia "Cell recursion theory", and got no hits at all. A search for "Cell recursion theory" produced all of seven hits. One was the Wikipedia article, and the other six were pages at www.alternativefuse.com, none of which actually mention "Cell recursion theory". (It seems that Alternativefuse is one of those sites that fakes Google hits for things it picks up from Wikipedia in order to attract custom. To make sure, I used Alternativefuse's own site search facility, and confirmed that Alternativefuse has no page at all mentioning Cell recursion theory.)
The long and the short of all that is that there is no evidence anywhere of satisfying Wikipedia's notability criteria. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:59, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. At least as our article here is written, this looks very WP:FRINGEy: throwing around buzzwords from important but unrelated areas as if that were all that was needed to propose a theory. We shouldn't have articles on such topics until they have attracted enough mainstream attention to be able to write something properly neutral about them, even if it's only "not even wrong". —David Eppstein (talk) 06:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I came to the same conclusion as JamesBWatson but didn't have much time to put together the excellent argument for deletion when I saw it. The single-purpose account promoting this new theory that has not had any time to be either reviewed or ignored in scientific literature or books. I'm reminded very much of Koolokamba (talk · contribs) (Eugene McCarthy) who had been promoting his website and a 4-year old self-published self-proclaimed revolutionary book that contained his ideas on evolution. (Discussion here at the Tree of Life WikiProject for the curious). Anyway, the theory needs time for additional sources to establish its notability. At the very least I'd like to see someone in the literature publish a response or criticism so that balance could be included but perhaps no scientist will see it worth their time.

- Surely the nomination is a WP:VAGUEWAVE. Please actually read WP:NOTDIR, which states at the beginning that "Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content." The way to cure a NOTDIR problem with a list of websites is to remove all the non-notable entries; only if there are too few or if the very organizing concept of the list is somehow flawed would a list of notable websites be deleted. There are 72 articles on different employment websites in Category:Employment websites, more than enough to justify a list. So keep per WP:LISTPURP, WP:CLN, and (ironically) NOTDIR as a standard index of articles. postdlf (talk) 19:14, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Also, per WP:NOTDIR, "Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content"; This article is not in violation of WP:NOTDIR, because it functions as an index of Wikipedia content.

It's very unlikely for this to have been simply an incidental adjective-noun pairing. A quick search shows it having popped up in the titles of other publications, see this article, this article, and the title of this book. 8ty3hree (talk) 03:55, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Ideal (ethics). It is lofty when someone tries to live by his or her ideals, but we don't need another article on that when we already have one that explains the concept. This article only documents the use of this expression, without really explaining why lofty idealism is distinct from ordinary idealism. Kitfoxxe (talk) 05:35, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no encyclopedic content to merge, and your definition is contestable, not to say unreferenced. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge whatever can be merged to Ideal (ethics), Idealism, and/or Idealism in international relations, and redirect to the last one, per above. Doesn't actually define the phrase; if it did I suspect it would border on WP:DICDEF. Ansh666 06:49, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The fact that several sources have used the phrase doesn't make it a notable subject. I can find dozens of sources which use the phrase "vivid imagination" or "artistic perfection", but neither of those expressions are article-worthy. What you need is a source which defines the phrase and discusses its usage, and the people to whom it's been applied. I doubt you'll find such a source, because "lofty idealism" is just an arbitrary combination of words. I don't think there's anything to be merged here, since the article's nothing more than a list of people who have been called lofty idealists. DoctorKubla (talk) 07:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I am with DoctorKubla here. The article does not explain the term, and the citations used do not suggest anything other than emphasis. 'Lofty' is an appropriate pairing with idealism, as 'strong' is with characterisation; we cannot infer from either that the writer is intending to represent something different in nature and meaning from the unembellished word alone. Anyone seeking to understand its usage in the cited examples is going to have to refer to Ideal (ethics). Even if evidence for some special significance of the phrase could be produced, it is difficult to envisage the explanation belonging anywhere other than in that article. I suspect that people would have spoken of a writer's or politician's 'idealism', or 'lofty idealism' more or less interchangeably and it would not reflect anything more than degree. Even when used pejoratively, idealism and lofty idealism both convey much the same sense. --AJHingston (talk) 09:49, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I suspect that this was probably Lieut-Gen Robert Nicholson (1745-1821) who served in the Bombay establishment for 53 years according to the The Gentleman's Magazine. Lost a leg at the siege of Barouche in 1772 (although I cant find any information on that) "He finally succeeded in being Chief Engineer and ultimately Commander of the Forces at Bombay" he returned to England in 1803.

- Comment. The standard Google searches strongly suggest that the topic is notable. However, searches on phrase fragments almost always seem to secure hits on either the GIAHS website or FAO documents, from which whole paragraphs or sections have been copied either word-for-word or with minimal alterations. I would regard most of the copied documents as being suitable for use as primary sources, but that is probably beside the point - the likelihood of most or all of the article being COPYVIO is unfortunately very high. PWilkinson (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What Google searches have you been doing? I can't find anything besides related sites, at least in English. Remember that notability requires independent secondary sources. Ansh666 21:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as copyvio and redirect to FAO#Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems Following on from my previous comment, the article seems to be largely (and may well be entirely) copied from this publication. I can't find any direct statement of the document's copyright status, but there is no indication that the FAO has licensed its use on terms that would allow us to copy it here. The document itself should probably be regarded as a reliable primary source - one of its authors, Miguel Altieri, is a distinctly notable academic, and the other has a citation record which, while probably not outstanding enough to meet WP:PROF, is still more than decent. So far as the redirect goes, GBooks and GScholar both show a number of sources - and while the detailed ones tend to be more or less primary, a substantial number of independent secondary ones give the FAO project a paragraph or two, quite enough to justify the brief section which (using one of them) I have added to FAO.
