Previously deleted by AfD. Restored, but does have some extra material which means I declined to speedy it via G4. Bringing here for consideration. I have restored the last version before deletion which can be seen here. I am neutral. Black Kite (talk) 11:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Has done nothing notable in his career and doesn't work for one of the bigger Japanese promotions. Even by Wrestle-1's standard, he's a lower tier performer.

A bit player in Japan and just one tour of his homeland and even then it was just to one show in one state.

- Todd Chretien (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)
Chretien was a minor (Green Party) candidate for United States Senate in California at the time of previous AFD (closed as no consensus). The argument for deletion was that he was non-notable and lacking reliable secondary sources. The argument for keeping was that he was an active candidate. 10 years on, there is no claim to notability. He is a failed candidate for political office and a political activist of no apparent or sourceable notability. Searching on his name produces stories in Socialist Worker, a fringe publication put out by the International Socialist Organization with which he is affiliated, so it is not an independent source. He has been mentioned in other fringe outlets, for example, in Indymedia, here:[1] where he is quoted ("said Todd Chretien of the International Socialist Organization.") He has written opinion articles for other fringe publication, including Counterpunch. Only RS on the page documents that he participated in a student strike at Columbia way back in his student days. Have searched for and not found substantive coverage in mainstream sources, not even when he was a candidate. Fails to meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:BIO. E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions.
- Redirect to International Socialist Organization, as he writes frequently for their publication. He seems to pop up in the news fairly regularly so he could become notable again for his bourgeoisie-crushing efforts. —МандичкаYO 😜 15:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- At the time of the original deletion discussion, WP:NPOL hadn't been codified as thoroughly as it is now — while it was never standard consensus, there was a significant viewpoint that non-winning candidates should be considered eligible for Wikipedia articles for being candidates. But that's definitely not the standard that applies now; under current wikistandards, nothing here qualifies him for a standalone article.

Not notable.Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Full member of only one notable band. (Brian Welch solo and Love and Death are the same thing. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Keep - Drummer for two notable bands (Love & Death and Red). Three pieces specifically devoted to the subject: [2] [3] [4]. Not sure if there are more out there—I didn't check. Walter Görlitz (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Johnson is not a prominent member of Red, just a touring drummer. All those sources are in relation to Dan Johnson of Love and Death. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep (or AT A MINIMUM redirect) - The very first AFD regarding Johnson was held in 2011, long before he joined R3D or Digital Summer. Johnson is a percussionist for two notable bands, R3D and Love and Death. In addition to the articles that Görlitz mentions, there are articles at [5] and [6] that discuss Johnson. Per these pages [7], [8] as well as [9], Johnson is also performing with Digital Summer and Against All Will, two other notable bands. If the page cannot be kept, it should, at a minimum, be redirected with history to "Love and Death (band)" [or perhaps "Red (American band)"]. Additionally, Johnson has performed with regular MTV2 band The Sammus Theory as well as performing with Mayhem Festival 2011 Battle of the Bands winner Back from Ashes. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:31, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Not a prominent member of Digital Summer and Against All Will. Back from Ashes and The Sammus Theory are not notable. Sources don't discuss him, they mention him. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:25, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- Reply - Johnson's body of work is sizable. While Johnson is described as a "temporary" percussionist for R3D, he contributed all of the percussion to their album Of Beauty and Rage. Additionally, temporary is only as temporary as temporary is. Johnson has now been working with R3D for at least one year, and has toured with them fairly extensively. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I am against deleting the article, at least at this time. We should improve the article and give it a more objective point of view, as well as give it a more precise expression--that is assuming we can find the necessary sources. Let's try to make it a better article, before we prematurely throw it in the trash can. There may be something here that is workable. Garagepunk66 (talk) 15:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Not a notable bus station. The sole claim to notability is a pony getting on a bus there, but I don't think that's enough. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- OK just noticed same user made a bunch of these about village bus stops. Do you mind if I piggy back them onto this AfD? —МандичкаYO 😜 10:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- You can, provided a closing administrator can treat them independently if necessary. I think Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashford Bank Street is from the same source. I'd be hesitant to flat out delete Canterbury Bus Station as that's a significant local landmark (eg: "The tourist group for the cathedral at 11:00 will rendezvous at the bus station") so that one I'd redirect to somewhere in Canterbury.

- I think it's a really ordinary shopping center. Built in 2007, so non-historic, and 20 stores, mainly minor stuff. The article is just a listing of stores and then all the various bus routes to get there, which nobody is going to look up on Wikipedia. —МандичкаYO 😜 11:22, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

The result was merge to Hughes High School#Athletics. There are three responses to the nomination, one is a comment, and two are suggestions to merge the info, though one of the suggestions says delete and merge. The merge will redirect the title to the new article so has the same effect as a deletion, but leaves the history in place. SilkTork ✔Tea time 20:52, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Extremely poorly sourced BLP and from the text is barely marginally notable. Standards have moved on since this was created and I think we should remove this. Spartaz Humbug! 06:51, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Weak keep - notability is not temporary. I found a few references to him as a "phenom" and "star" though I don't know much about poker unfortunately. It seems like if he'd already $2.5M by 2009 at that age he's probably pretty good. [14], [15], [16] —МандичкаYO 😜 07:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Weak delete - Did well enough to make money from poker in the 2000's, but not actually that notable as a poker player, and I can see no notability outside of poker. Not one of those poker television celebrity from televised poker, haven't won any major tournaments, is published but not notably so. -- KTC (talk) 08:34, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Placing second in the WSOP Main Event and winning over $1 million satisfies the informal Wikipedia:WikiProject Poker#Biography article notability criteria. The Main Event gets by far the most TV/press coverage of any poker tournament; those players good (or insanely lucky) enough to make the final table get spotlighted.

- Weak Keep as per Clarityfiend. The article needs additional sources, which I'll look at adding now, but the World Series of Poker is televised and certainly a top-level tournament. Placing second and winning $1 million makes him notable, especially given that he broke a record for youngest person to do so at the time. This article isn't so poorly sourced as to fall afoul of the BLP policy, but further sources are needed to meet WP:V fully. ~ RobTalk 02:12, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Placing second in one tournament does not make him notable. See WP:BLP1E. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 23:11, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've added a citation that Clarity found, attributed other information to existing citations, and updated some info on the page. Unless I missed something, there should be no concerns about inadequately sourced BLP withstanding. A separate issue is whether PokerNews qualifies as a "reliable source". I have no answer to that, as I'm not familiar with the site or knowledgeable in this area. ~ RobTalk 02:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes (IMO), PokerNews do qualify as a RS. Large (in context), independent (does run paid for adverts by poker sites though not unlike TV station), poker specific news agency. -- KTC (talk) 00:02, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NOTABILITY. Searches turned up information on the town and no evidence of notability for this sub-set of the clan. It seems it can also be spelt Babuzai. I considered a merge or redirect to Yusufzai (Pashtun tribe), where it is not mentioned, but as this entire sub-stub is unreferenced and unverified, I thought it best not to; no evidence that they are worth a mention/redirect. Babozai, Mardan (the town) should be moved to this page - clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and the vast majority of the incoming links to this page were meant for the twon, resolving them now.

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Archives Wales to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed WP:NCONCERT TOUR requirement. " It was deprodded by User:AGoodDoctor (creator) with the following rationale "There is loads of information about this tour, however, time just needs to be put in ensuring the range of setlists are uploaded, as well as reviews, which are all on the internet, are put into this article". Well, I am not seeing any reliable sources. Blogs, facebook, niche music sites selling tickets or merchandise, fansite, etc. - those exit, sure. But we need to show more reliable coverage. Not every tour of every band is notable, and it is high time to start pruning the fancruft minor band tour listings that are being spammed here.

- Snow keep - no, not every tour is notable, but nearly completely sold out 179-city world tours featuring one of the top-selling musicians of the past few years are notable. Hmmm, at least I think. Having to add a third show at Wembley Stadium because the first two sell out is probably fancruft minor band tour stuff :-) Google News search: Ed Sheeran + tour + sold out —МандичкаYO 😜 08:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- You don't get to snow with the first comment :P And I am afraid your search is incorrect; you just search for his tours in general. The correct search changes "tour" to "x tour", and shows much fewer hits. I see some that discuss the concert in passing, but only one reliable, on-topic article: mtv.com entry - and that is quite brief. If you disagree, please list better sources here, and discuss their reliability, and extent of their coverage. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- I can snow keep with a first comment because there is no way this is being deleted. I'm not even an Ed Sheeran fan in particular and I recognize when a tour meets GNG. No, the correct search does not have to be "x tour" because many articles will not refer to the tour by that name; it's just "tour" as in his current tour, as in the tour he's been on since last year, as in the tour he's doing to support his current album. Since there's only ever been one other Ed Sheeran tour, that search term will likely bring up relevant articles. Also the tour is also referred to as the Multiply tour (since that is how they pronounce the X). I'm not going to waste time looking for refs on this unless there becomes an actual chance this article will be deleted. —МандичкаYO 😜 10:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

For starters, it's a recent book (2015), and virtually all refs are older, so what is it that they are suppose to be proving? As far as I can tell, they are references to other works on Polish jazz and such, irrelevant here. Outside a quote from the book jacket, there is no links to any reliable reviews, nor can I find any.

- Comment: Some of the comments above seem a bit more dismissive than the circumstances warrant. The Daily Sabah piece cited in the article, for instance, certainly seems to be secondary, fairly substantial and about the subject - and I suspect that the same would apply to this, from The Times, if I could see behind the paywall. And left-wing activists who get arrested are notable if there is enough coverage from reliable sources, assuming that the coverage continues. So far as I can see, there was in fact a lot of press coverage in Turkish, quite a bit of it (so far as I can judge, not reading Turkish) looking reliable, at the time of the arrest, and there is still some continuing Turkish coverage - but having said that, without knowing Turkish, there is no way for me to judge whether this would even get close to taking the subject past the WP:ONEEVENT hurdle.

- Let's review:
- [37] coverage of innovative advertising by major British newspaper, The Telegraph
- article about company winning an award by Junior Magazine (magazine). The article seems like a PR piece, it's short, and full of marketing speak ("an award-winning and affordable collection of ", "the first, and only, baby & children’s skincare range to make the following claims: dermatologically & paediatrician tested and approved and suitable for newborns & upwards", etc.) . The magazine describes itself as a " glossy, family lifestyle website" that went out of print in 2013 but maintains an online presence. By 2014, when it covered CF, it was only an online portal. Seems like a niche, non-RS source, and written like a PR/marketing/ad piece.
- [38] a companion to the above, JM interviews DF founder. Outside being regional/niche, it is is also not about the company, but it's founder, and mentions the company only in passing.
- [39] a profile of the company founder in a regional UK portal (Hampshire Life, www.hampshire-life.co.uk). Outside being regional/niche, it is is also not about the company, but it's founder, and mentions the company only in passing.
- [40] An ad for the products, in the form of an "article", appearing in "THE WIDEST DISTRIBUTED COMPLIMENTARY LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE IN SUSSEX". Another niche (distributed "throughout the county"), PR coverage, an ad masquerading for an article.
- [41] Seems like a Czech equivalent of those British PR niche pieces. In fact, I think it's a shop.
- [42] Another PR "buy this product". It's an ad for a single product, "Childs Farm Top-To-Toe Cleaning Kit, £9.95 www.childsfarm.com", in the form of profile of favorite products selected for the British edition of the Vogue_(magazine). It does not discuss the company, it is just fawning over one of their products.
- [43] Similar coverage, a paragraph inviting people to buy "Bath and hair products for kids, from £4.69, from Childs Farm". Published in a blog/lifestyle section of a major British newspaper, The Guardian, but of dubious reliability. Anyway, it's coverage of the company's product, not the company.
- So, User:Wikimandia, I'd appreciate if you'd tell me how those sources pass GNG/Company notability for independent, major (non-niche, non-regional, non-passing) coverage. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:34, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Because I don't agree with your assessment of these refs secretly being ads, PR pieces, blah blah blah. The Q&As with her are primarily about the company and how it got started, and you might want to head on over to WP:CORP because your standard requiring "major (non-niche, non-regional)" sources is not in the guideline at all, and, in fact, appears to be something you've invented to entertain us. The requirement for sources are that they be reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product. There is nothing that says coverage in a niche publication is not acceptable (especially if you have niche product, duh!); nor that local or regional publications cannot count as a reliable source. Per WP:AUD, you can't have an article with only local sources, but that's not the case with this article. So that's how I say these sources pass GNG. Also the Czech one is not a store but a women's portal and magazine; they sell a few products but they do not sell Childs Farm products. Hopefully that satisfies your questions. —МандичкаYO 😜 04:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- I could argue that you are confusing GNG and CORP, but let's not split words or guidelines. And yes, I should have said clearly non-RS, rather than niche. Now, please explain which references here satisfy, in your view, our policies. "This article satisfies WP:CORP criteria...". But if you think it does because it has coverage in reliable sources, we have to discuss the said sources. You haven't' so far, outside of arguing that the interview with the CEO is not passing coverage. Even if I agree (and I am not sure I do), I do not believe that Junior Magazine (magazine) is reliable; it seems WP:QUESTIONABLE ("promotional in nature"). Ditto for all other sources here; they seem to fail RS. Because, in simple terms, they are PR spam. Look at those publications. They are never critical of the products they cover; they get paid to produce article-like ads. The Sussex magazine is even given away for free (and don't tell me you think the companies which front the funds do so without expecting a quid pro quo in exchange). Let me repeat: having reviewed the sources, I find them unreliable (poor fact checking, likely COI in the form of positive, paid-for coverage), and focusing on the company in passing (even you haven't presented any in-depth sources about it, outside the PR-like piece, not too long btw, in the form of [44]). Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages. This company hasn't attracted any serious coverage (it paid for some niche PR article-likes features). And short coverage of the company's marketing campaign in a reliable newspaper does not change the situation. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Because I don't agree with your assessment of these refs secretly being ads, PR pieces, blah blah blah. The Q&As with her are primarily about the company and how it got started, and you might want to head on over to WP:CORP because your standard requiring "major (non-niche, non-regional)" sources is not in the guideline at all, and, in fact, appears to be something you've invented to entertain us. The requirement for sources are that they be reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product. There is nothing that says coverage in a niche publication is not acceptable (especially if you have niche product, duh!); nor that local or regional publications cannot count as a reliable source. Per WP:AUD, you can't have an article with only local sources, but that's not the case with this article. So that's how I say these sources pass GNG. Also the Czech one is not a store but a women's portal and magazine; they sell a few products but they do not sell Childs Farm products. Hopefully that satisfies your questions. —МандичкаYO 😜 04:39, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Let's review:
- Comment: Article really reads like an ad. The copy is full of press-release material. The stand-out material for me is the production company credit, but the article only tosses that in as an after thought. The article wants, I think, to sell shampoo, and not inform a reader. That's bad. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:10, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as promotional/advertising: The theoretical approach to deletion debates where one keeps if the subject could be discussed really abuts reality here, because we wouldn't keep an ad. Advertising is a deletion criterion, and this article is advertising. As I noted above, the most notable aspects of the company are not discussed and the product line up and wonderful child-friendly motives are. Hithladaeus (talk) 00:52, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep but needs careful rewriting. This looks like the case of someone who is obviously notable by any reasonable reckoning, but where it may be very difficult to disentangle legend from history. He seems to be generally recognised as the effective founder of the Mahanubhava sect, with one of its sacred texts, Leela Charitra (or, apparently more usually these days, Lilacharitra), being largely a purported account of his life and thought - and one of the founding classics of Marathi literature. One problem that this gives is that most accounts of Chakradhar are either in relation to Lilacharitra as literature or to Mahanubhav thought (which seems to have been in many ways revolutionary, promoting both caste and gender equality) and, where they give accounts of his life, may not be fully separating out historical and legendary elements (this, for instance). By the way, "Swami" is an honorific and not always used - it may be easier to find sources without it(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL).

Incidentally, on the article name it might be better as Warren Christopher (Maryland politician) or "Warren Christopher (b. 19--)" and then, if the article made, a disambiguation at Warren Christopher. The encyclopedia can handle the confusion, but the current name is a bit clunky, and it will only work if its subject remains local.

Most of it is about "Housing First," which would present a good argument for "Redirect." The text of the argument -- ostensibly a biographical article, mind you -- never identifies the subject's place of birth or current residence. Furthermore, it talks about "then" he does this and "then" that, and he always does it "here." Here? Really? That's fantastic! This homelessness cure is here? I'll remember that when my employer folds, because surely "here" means here. It doesn't mean Washington, D.C., does it? I love how people do independent research, see that a person is discussed, and then say "keep," as if that were the end. This article isn't about the person, and it doesn't inform a reader.

- Redirect I can't find anything about him that is really about him, not the method he has put into place to house the homeless. The WaPo article is the closest thing to being about him, but it says little about him as a person.

It certainly was my mistake, for which I apologize and ask opponents to take into account the factor of my small experience in this matter. It was my first article for the English Wikipedia.
Thanks to the just remark of Piotrus, it has allowed me to improve the text.
Now about the links, which were included.
1. Two link to site of artist. One link is a page with biography, second - to main page. The main page is empty, it really bad link, but I seems that I would put it as a link to artist website. The last of them can be delete.
2. A group of links from USA galleries. I selected the links to Gallery at the Consulate, because it gives one a some official status also. The exhibition at The Ukrainian National Museum in USA and an article about this exibition is a examples of so links. Of course, modern gallery is often carried out with the sale, so finding exactly an impartial source, such as the British Museum, it would be difficult.
Another link with short biography of artist was used as English text from source other than the author's site.
3. Then three links to known private galleries in Bulgaria and Russia were used as a links satisfying the both parameters: English text and famous modern gallery in these countries.
4. Next 6 links are a references to the radio and television programs, as well as articles in the official media in Bulgaria, which were dedicated to the artist Alexander Telalim. I selected the only official state television and radio channels in Bulgaria (eg "Bulgarian National Radio" or "National Bulgarian TV"), as their significance seems to me a priority.
Unfortunately, the Internet in Ukraine was a very weak during youth Alexander Telalim. Good links are hard to find now and there are no English texts, so I not used those ones. But it's is may be done easily, if necessary.
5. In Eastern Europe there is another indication of the importance of artists - is the inclusion of the so-called "National Union of Artists." Selection to pass is fairly strict rules and Alexander Telalim has long been a member of the Bulgarian Union of Artists. (This is indicated).
6. Then I found link to one of the more significant exhibitions. It was The "Masters of Watercolours" in St. Petersburg in 2015 (with a Exibition participants catalogue).
7. Artist has a more than 60 solo exhibitions around the world, including the world-famous galleries in the US, EU and Japan. It was another argument, which allowed me to believe his fame enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.
(added) 8.The last links are the russian articles from different sites
Finally, if there are suspicions of my personal interest, I would like to just dismiss them. I am interested in South Russian school of art, the center of which is located in Odessa (modern Ukraine). I intend to write a series of articles about her artists, but the work is progressing too slow because of my employment elsewhere.
Not more than a few days ago, I posted an article about the Grekov Odessa Art school, today or tomorrow I will write about another representative of this school, the artist Yuri Salko, who became famous as a new talent in the field of icons in the Byzantine style.
I understand that the "myself" link is not a good argument for Wikipedia, but please note that my native language - Russian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, so I can find information about these people in short order.
If my links are not insufficient, I will put all its my forces to find more serious, however, I would like to understand what could be more serious than the government media conducted an interviews, lasting more than an hour?
If this is not proof of the popularity and significance, what is the evidence?
P.S. I watched many articles about the artists from Eastern Europe and Russia, and I find that the more links there are simply not available or unreliable. I would like to understand why this article is motivated by a desire to remove it? As a rule, if the article does not have reliable information, it is asked to provide. However, the repeated removal requirement is puzzling, and I would like to understand the reason for such a drastic requirement? Elena Elk (talk) 04:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - I see several refs that are not in passing, including [45] and [46] with Bulgarian National Radio; interviews [47], [48], lengthy profile/appearance on Bulgarian television program [49], and exhibition at the Ukrainian National Museum [50]. I don't know if there are more out there; these are the ones already listed on the article, but not mentioned in your summary of sources when you created this AfD. I'm also curious why this article should be deleted. —МандичкаYO 😜 05:37, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Google hits are not enough. Which of those are not WP:QUESTIONABLE? National Radio seems best, but problematic; it wasn't a program about him by some scholars or critics; those were interviews with him. As such, those have problems with WP:RS: he is a primary source about himself, after all. One could argue that the mere fact of being invited establishes notability, but this is, as far as I know, not supported by policy, and I an hesitant to support it (the interviews where, btw, how long? 1 minute? Half an hour?). All other unreliable sources aside (galleries selling or otherwise benefiting from his works are not independent sources; just like book publishers/bookstores cannot be sufficient sources for a book's notability). Granted, WP:ARTIST does state that if his work " has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition", but then we need to discuss what is a significant exhibition (I'd say one that is notable, i.e. has attracted major coverage, which is not what I see for the exhibitions listed in this article). Finally, the claim that membership in Union of Bulgarian Artists (an article of dubious notability itself as written, through a quick search shows it to be notable otherwise) is anything extra-ordinary needs to be backed up with sources. Is this a reputable organizations with selective membership? I am not seeing it; and as such I am not ready to accept the fact that membership in it conveys notability. In the end, keep in mind not all artists are notable, and nothing I see here suggests to me that this person is ready to be in an encyclopedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Dude these are not "Google hits" but coverage of him and not a single one is from a gallery either, so I really don't what you're talking about. I can understand not everybody can read Cyrillic but you can at least bother to use Google Translate. The only one that is not from an independent news source is this one [57] from the City of Chicago's Sister Cities partnership website (as Kyiv is a sister city), and that's an announcement from the National Museum of Ukraine. And it's even in English. I have never read anywhere or heard anyone suggest that a Q&A or an interview (written or live) does not count as coverage toward GNG. A Q&A done with a RS is not considered a primary source except for the purpose of specific content/claim that would need to be subject to additional verification (such as claim of record company profits etc). You state merely being invited to be featured in an interview with a RS does not count toward GNG as this is "not supported by policy." ORLY? What policy is that? Because it's not in any Wikipedia policy, and I'm sorry to say I don't recognize WP:THINGSPIOTRIMAGINES as policy :-( Considering Q&A format interviews are very common and are frequently referenced, surely this specific rule you think exists would be in the guideline, somewhere.... And by "the interviews where" do you mean where can you find the radio interview??? Instructions: 1) open your eyes (please do not skip this step) 2) go to the page [[58]] 3) look at the page (also important) 4) click the triangle PLAY button on the big media player on the page. —МандичкаYO 😜 07:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The duration of the interview in these sources varies from half an hour to two hours.
- On membership in the Union of Artists of Bulgaria written here:
http://www.sbhart.com/bg/members/letter/%D0%A2/p/20#letter - or here: http://www.sbhart.com/en/members/letter/T/p/20#letter
- I can to agree that this source may be given also, but I did not see that in other articles about the artists of Eastern Europe.
- The book, which was cited in the references, not just a result of publication of his works, but the catalog of one of the most famous exhibition of masters of watercolors in the world. In my opinion, is really proof of the author's fame. Beginners or unknown masters there just are not included.
- In some cases I cite and link to the both: exhibition and reviews. I described it in detail above. I can increase the number of some links to 10-20 pieces, but I have to take reviews in Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Russian languages, which is not too good for the English Wikipedia.
- With all due respect to the search engines, especially Google, I want to note that this is not the best argument for the encyclopedia, also should take into account that the search should be conducted in the national languages and national offices of Google.
- It seems a not serious argument that you do not know about the complexity of admission to the National Artists Union in Eastern Europe. If you do not have this information, it can be read anywhere, in Google or Wikipedia, or on cite http://www.sbhart.com/en, or about history of art at former socialist countries.
- I will summarize. I put links to long radio and TV shows with the artist, and in the presence of Bulgarian critics and art historians. I put links and list important exhibitions outside Bulgaria.
- I bring proof of adoption of the selective union of artists.
- I quote the article, which tells about the artist in large galleries.
- I cite references to articles published on the Internet, completely dedicated to the work of the artist.
- What do I need more?
- Which exhibition?
- If I give you a long list of links to reviews on the Bulgarian or Russian, it will be the argument of fame?
- The number of personal exhibitions is one of the most important arguments the significance of the artist. I chose of Telalim first because it is very large. Why is it that no argument? Articles is appearing in each(!) exibition in the national languages.
- Finally, I repeat my question - why require removal article, but not correction?

- I just added a dozen references to an interview with the artist, and reviews of his work. In the list are Bulgaria TV (two channels) and TV of Ukraine, some of the local channels in Chicago (I don't know this channel). Still not enough? Shad Innet (talk) 09:46, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. Shad Innet (talk) 10:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC) You know, this is not my style, but I shall explain. I do not understand why Piotrus demanded the delete of the article. If we look at the editing history, we can see that the first author put only English links. This is a fairly common mistake for beginners who are trying to extend the non-English culture in the English Wikipedia.
And I think our task, my task - to support these people and help them correct their mistakes. We will gain new good editor and a lot of new pages in the future.
Instead of Piotrus put the page for deletion without seeing the previous changes.
Мандичка well although somewhat ill qualified. He said all the items and added a lot of links (thanks, some of them I put in the article today).
Among the options - an interview with state television channels in Ukraine and Bulgaria are probably small private channel in Chicago. Several references to the broadcast. All of them are quite a long period, which is already talking about the significance of the artist.
If you look at the headlines of articles, we see that the authors have no doubt of the importance of the artist. The extent that Izmail is the title "us goes a famous artist", for example. Note one that Izmail - it is Ukraine but Alexander Telalim lives in Bulgaria.
In my opinion, this article is already an overabundance of significant links, although I personally would link them with text or otherwise distributed, but this is a big job.
Instead of the conversation is continued about the removal and furthermore starts transition to the individual.
I work together with Elena at the same institute. Those interested can see the link to our place of work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budker_Institute_of_Nuclear_Physics
We have dozens of people write articles for Wikipedia, and I would be a shame to lose another quite good author. By the way, the alternate nickname Elena is widely known, it is right in her account - is Элена Элк, that means the same thing, but is written in Cyrillic.
I do not regret the author's call - she does not need it. But look closely enough links to understand that they have too much rather than "not enough." I note that this criticism does not even look.

- Keep - Piotrus, I think you'd be aware by now that AfD isn't for articles that don't have references that "add proper, reliable, in-depth coverage." AfD is for determining if a subject is notable or not and it doesn't appear that your nomination has done any of the WP:BEFORE work to determine that. A nomination that only points out my disagreement with a PROD seems as close to a non-argument as you can get.
- Here are a list of references I found in just a few minutes that aren't included in the list already found in the article. In depth interview, LA Weekly coverage of Van Kirk's work, Book about Van Kirk being a "notable", Subject becomes Chili's spokesperson.
- Outside of these references and the ones in the article, it seems clear to me, based on the articles about him or pointing him out in USA Today, Variety, LA Weekly, AV Club, and Splitsider, that the subject of this article plays notable role in area of comedy podcasts. He's also a current performer for Upright Citizens Brigade which was started by and produces notable members regularly. He also is a writer for the news website www.Cover32.com. I personally think that he satisfies WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO (point 2) with the independent and significant coverage form reliable sources but I also feel that the subject satisfies point 3 of WP:ENTERTAINER in that his body of work on specific podcasts has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. WCS100 (talk) 01:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- More for Yahoo Movies and Variety about a show the subject writes. WCS100 (talk) 01:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- @WCS100: You are right this is about notability. And notability does not only require sources, it requires reliable sources. And what I am saying is not that this article is unreferenced (which, I agree with you, is not an AfD problem), but rather, than the existing references I see (including ones you presented) are not reliable, and thus do not help to establish the subject's notability.
- Let's start with your book finding. Following your link I cannot get a preview view, but the publisher is Emereo Publishing. From [59]: "So what Roebuck/Tebbo/ Emereo have done is take publically available and randomly selected Wikipedia articles and charge for it." I am afraid that your source is nothing but a printed fork of our article(s).
- Next, you find [60]. Well, it may be an in-depth interview; it also appears to be a podcast, an audio-version of blog.
- [61] LA Weekly passes RS test; but our subject fails at any kind of in-depth, substanial coverage - he is mentioned there in passing, in a single sentence plus picture caption.
- [62] Next, we have a short news blurb in a regional, niche website (" centralized agency founded to share knowledge of "bureau-approved" comedy throughout the Greater Los Angeles area and spread joy in the form of live comedy to all citizens we can possibly reach."). That fails WP:QUESTIONABLE and WP:AUD.
- So, unless you can present sources that show him passing GNG/ARTIST, AfD is the right place for him to be. And please, don't just spam links here, but provide a review of them: explain why the source is reliable, and the extent of their coverage of the subject (passing mentions do not count). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:02, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

No real indication of notability as defined by WP:MUSBIO or WP:BIO; passing mention in a tabloid article hardly rises to the standards set by those policies.
And if he really did win the award the article claims he won — well, some fifteen awards are handed out annually at the Romanian Music Awards, and while I can see "best album" meeting the "major music award" standard of WP:MUSBIO point 8, I have a harder time seeing "best new act" in the same category. - Biruitorul Talk 01:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Was this the downloads chart, the sales chart, the radio play chart? The only potentially verifiable fact is in a pudding of promotion and puffery.

- Well, the first link, from Adevărul, is certainly reliable, but not especially edifying. It talks about Cătălin Botezatu handing out an award and being distracted by a blonde. And, yes, at the end it does mention in passing that the award in question was given to Mica. As to the second link, I'm a bit skeptical about the reliability of yabbmusic.ro. In any event, the article deals with a certain Eli launching a video clip in which Mica also participates; the only in-depth mention of Mica is a quote by Eli: "I'm a friend of Alex's, we've known each other for a very long time because we're from the same city", etc, etc. Given that Eli himself doesn't seem notable, I don't see this one as a meaningful indication of notability either. - Biruitorul Talk 13:37, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

- Strong Keep Clearly one of the biggest successes in recent Romanian pop music. The hit "Dalinda" was one of the biggest Romanian hits in 2012. The music video also attracted more than 21 million views, very respectable for a Romanian-language song. I have added many references as well to article since it was nominated for deletion. His most recent hit as a featured artist in Eli's "Nu mai cred in tine" is on the same track and has attracted around 7 milllion views in a brief 2 months. The article can be trimmed off of unnecessary detail, but I don't know what is the interest of English Wikipedia in deleting many such artists who are so notable in their own countries as if they are undeserving of international attention. I know language may be a hurdle for colleagues with no knowledge of languages, but I think non-English language artists are as deserving as English language artists for coverage, although references are much harder to analyze. werldwayd (talk) 08:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

He isn't; thus far, all you've been able to adduce is a blog post, a tabloid article and a piece of cruft. So let's tone down the rhetoric a bit: he's (probably) had one mildly successful song, and that's it.
- Joseph2302, do note the wording of WP:MUSICBIO: passing the criteria indicates the subject may be notable. Strictly speaking, you could argue he is, based on having had one song in the top 20. Myself, I tend to believe a biographical article should have at least some indication of coverage in "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician". Given that such coverage is glaringly lacking, I still question the viability of the article. - Biruitorul Talk 02:04, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. There is precedent for lists of software/products, but the qualification for them is almost always that they pass notability GNG enough to merit an article and/or that they've received enough coverage to at least warrant being mentioned on the list. This specific list seems to set its own rules for inclusion, one of which is that it is "actively maintained & supported." This has never been something that would disqualify something from a list on Wikipedia and it's quite common for lists to include software that is no longer maintained or supported. That aside, we have to look at whether or not there's really anything here that would warrant a list. Offhand I'm not seeing anything and the qualifications for inclusion seem to be fairly loose, given that Leapster is on the list. I suppose that since it does have an OS and it's aimed towards children it could technically belong on the list, but I don't know that it's really an OS in the same way that some of the others (like Edubuntu) are OS systems. This gives off the impression that the only two real qualifications for the list is that the product has to be aimed at children and that it has to be able to run electronically.

- Delete: If other articles like this exist, then they're bad ideas, too. The title promises a "comparison" -- by what criterion? There are loads of assumptions in any "comparison." For example, I might want to know about the load time of each, or the nation of origin, or how many left handed brunettes worked on each. There is an include/exclude criterion that is arbitrary, as @Tokyogirl79 points out, but there are even more silent criteria in the points of comparison. This matters because the most vital silence is "comparison to determine which is best" is implied. The usefulness of this article would be as a consumer guide, and we're not in any position to be that. If it doesn't go to the consumer guide form, it becomes undigested information in a table.

The topic "Politics of light rail in North America" is -- potentially notable. But the article is a mess, it has been a mess for years, and no one seems interested in improving it.
At one time the article was much longer -- however that excised material was unreferenced original research and editorializing.
In 2013 I recommended the article be merged or redirected back to Light rail in North America. Discussion here. That is still my preferred outcome. Geo Swan (talk) 04:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect per nom: The article as it exists is an essayistic response to a single book, more than anything else, and a particular, popular, conservative attack on light rail. The politics of light rail in the U.S. don't have anything to do with convenience or profit, because those are not political factors. Those are commercial factors. The political factor is the conservative argument that all government must meet the standards of business (cost nothing, make a profit, compete with free market alternatives) and assumptions about government itself (that there shouldn't be any moral role for government, because that's "interference"). Therefore, this may not need to be merged, because it's not OR, but it's a polemic. Hithladaeus (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
