Non-notable writer who fails to meet WP:AUTHOR or WP:BK. All of his manuscripts are self-published, as the article itself admits, and therefore cannot be used to demonstrate notability, per WP:SPS. No WP:RS sources exist to establish WP:N. Everything on Google appears to be self-generated by the writer himself. Also, there have been extensive WP:AUTO and WP:COI problems with the article almost from the beginning, and its problems with notability have long been discussed on the talk page without resolution.

  • I do understand the Wikipedia's policies and see what you mean. Unfortunately, at this moment, I couldn't find any reliable sources that could make this article notable from Wikipedia's point of view. But the book IS notable. Because if you read it carefully, you will see how important its message is for all of us. And I know it's all true that is written in the book, for I proved it to myself, if you will, on my own experience (learning to see auras; astral travel, telekinesis, telepathy, etc), including the existence of those people who entrusted Michel Desmarquet with writing of the book. I'm just writing it in a hope that those responsible administrators will at least read the book and, if not try to learn what I learned, maybe leave this article online having realized how important it is. For, yes, at this moment the book is not notable by the official sources, which is not a surprise, but hopefully people will start to open up their minds and then this book will become the assistant to our spiritual development.

Does not really seem like a proper topic for an encyclopedia article. It starts out by saying "counter-missionary" (notice that it is not a noun as WP titles should be) is opposition to any missionary activity. Then it switches to efforts to convert Jews to Christianity. Other activities are not mentioned at all although there are many people who oppose missionary activities by, for instance, Christians to tribal groups in the Amazon, cults on college campuses, even Muslims in non-Muslim countries. To me it seems better to discuss Jewish anti-missionarism in the same article that discusses missionary activities targeting Jews, so that both sides are presented together for better neutrality Nomination withdrawn since there is a sincere effort to change the topic of the article.Borock (talk) 20:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I withdrew the nomination after changes. I never objected to the information in the article, only the format in which it was presented.Borock (talk) 22:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The context of the article was clearly Jewish groups that have been established for the express purposes of countering efforts by Christian missionaries. It should not be merged with Jews for Judaism since that would exclude other organizations with counter-missionary goals, such as Outreach Judaism and Aish HaTorah. Also, as a generic topic, it could be expanded to organizations established to counter missionary efforts to other religions and by other religions (such as Islamic evangelism to Hundus), if such exists. --DeknMike (talk) 19:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a minor part of Erskine, however good sources are hard to come by. Article doesn't have much context or content at the moment. The settlement is unlikely to be notable enough on its own, so the article should be redirected or deleted. Scotlandplaces.gov.uk says it consist of only one building.

  • Interesting that British Listed Buildings treats Linburn Park as part of Kirknewton, while scotlandsplaces.gov treats it as part of Wilkieston. Since Kirknewton is a blue link and Wilkieston a red one, and considering that there seems to be virtually nothing to say about either Linburn Park or Wilkieston, I say redirect (or merge, if preferred) to Kirknewton. Alzarian16 (talk) 18:36, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • That will be because Kirknewton is the post town for Wilkieston, e.g. the houses in the Linburn Park estate have the following address, "## Linburn Park, Wilkieston, KIRKNEWTON, EH27 8DU", and the Scottish War Blinded give the contact details for their Linburn Centre as, "The Linburn Centre, Scottish War Blinded, Linburn, Wilkieston, By Kirknewton, EH27 8DU". That doesn't mean that Wilkieston (or Linburn) are part of Kirknewton, just that they are within its postal area. Thryduulf (talk) 19:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regional differences in the Chinese language

Regional differences in the Chinese language (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not sure what the point of this article is. We already have Chinese language, Varieties of Chinese which properly describes the different varieties, and articles on traditional and simplified characters for the written language. The table is confusing and misleading – there's not one was of using Chinese in China as it implies – with some very odd choices of entries, and should not be in all Chinese which really limits its readership. Without that there's almost nothing to the article. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 23:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename whether moved or not. This isn't about different regions but different countries; actual separate states. The title should be edited to reflect this. Also, Chinese is generally treated as separate languages. So how about International differences in Chinese? Munci (talk) 14:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. There exists many similar articles in the English Wikipedia, which draw comparison between different varieties of the same language. Take a look at Category:Language comparison and the following articles:
  • I don't see any justification for discriminating the Chinese language, which is the language with the largest number of native speakers in the world. If someone says that the article should not be "all in Chinese", we can find more Wikipedians to collaborate on adding romanisations (such as pinyin or jyutping) of the Chinese phrases to the article. I think this article is very helpful for people who are learning Chinese as a foreign language. (As an analogy, a person who is learning English as a foreign language might find it useful to know that "elevator" in American English is the same thing as "lift" in Commonwealth English.) - Alan (talk) 17:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The problem though is that Chinese is not one language in the same way that English or French is. So while it's possible to describe pretty comprehensively the differences between British and American English in an article it's impossible to do the same between Cantonese and Mandarin, for example. Such an article properly covering the subject would be a dictionary, something Wikipedia is not. And that is only two of a large number of varieties of Chinese.

      This article ignores all this, instead focussing on a small (and unusual) selection of words. The grouping is not by variety but by territory and says nothing about the pronunciation of the words (useful as it often gives a clue why different characters are used), even which variety is used where, or which territories use which of simplified or traditional characters. Nor is it indicated which entries are vernacular Chinese. As such this article is of little use to anyone learning Chinese. There is already an article on written Cantonese which covers most of the written differences between Mandarin and Cantonese, in a much more encyclopaedic way, including some of these words, which would perhaps be a better place for this.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 14:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am a native Cantonese speaker from Hong Kong. Perhaps I can help make clear some of the confusions over the Chinese language.
    • The articles Varieties of Chinese and Spoken Chinese deal with the different branches of spoken Chinese, such as the Cantonese branch, the Mandarin branch, the Min branch, the Wu branch etc. Those articles focus on the how the same Chinese character is pronounced differently in the different branches.
    • However, the article Regional differences in the Chinese language is intended to focus on the differences in the vocabularies, i.e. what words/phrases each territory use to convey the same meaning. (If the title of the article is not descriptive enough, we could rename it.) Here we are not comparing the differences between Traditional Chinese characters and Simplified Chinese characters, nor are we comparing the pronunciation differences between Cantonese and Mandarin. Instead, we are comparing the use of "巴士" in Hong Kong to the use of "公車" in Taiwan (just like how we make the contrast between "lift" in Britain and "elevator" in America in the article American and British English differences). Note that the difference between "巴士" and "公車" is not the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. It is just that the two territories adopt different words for the same object.
    • There are similar comparison tables in the articles Hong Kong Cantonese, Taiwanese Mandarin and Singaporean Mandarin. But the Taiwanese Mandarin article only compares Taiwanese Mandarin to Standard Mandarin, but not to Singaporean Mandarin. It would be nice to have one table that summarises the differences between all those different kinds of Chinese.
  • Perhaps we should all work together on expanding the introductory paragraph, to explain/address all those questions that John brought up. -Alan (talk) 15:08, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anything but keep I see a good faith attempt to write an article here and I understand the potential utility of having this article, but I don't think it belongs on Wikipedia in it's current incarnation. There is a single reference but the article also appears to contain a lot of WP:OR. Since this is only about the written form and intends to encompass a wide perspective, a new subsection with some sourced examples may be appropriately merged to Chinese character, which already has a variants section. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
    • I don't see where the article intends to cover more than just the written form. and if I am wrong, I don't think it should do that; we already have articles on the various dialect groups. And a merge into a large article like Chinese character would make that article burst at its reams. --HXL's Roundtable, and Record 17:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename. E.g. to Regional differences in the use of characters in the Chinese language, something that makes clear the article is about different characters, like in English different words (elevator VS lift) and not about pronounciation. TopoChecker (talk) 17:27, 17 January 2011 (UTC)This user has been blocked as a sockpuppet of a banned user. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • That still doesn't address the fact that Chinese is not a single language, but several. And that the difference between China and Singapore is not one of 'region' but of 'state'. Munci (talk) 10:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve - better to explain the differences of Chinese language terms among different regions, rather than just describe. SoHome Jacaranda Lilau (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename prefereably to "unofficial regional differences etc". Because these are not official. Taiwan and mainland attempted something like a renewal Zhonghua Da Zidian (last year I believe) to match words between regions. Those are more official than what's on this page.

  • Another awful discussion where anything but the sourcing is discussed. The issue is OR and N so please can those interested comment on the sources. Expand and improve is not a valid argument - not having sources if so if this is to survive the keep side need to demonstrate reliable sources that discuss regional differences in the Chinese language. Spartaz Humbug! 20:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment The suggestions for keep don't address any of it's flaws. First it's not about one "Chinese" language: there are two languages represented in the table, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese. I know the WP policy is to be deliberately vague over whether they are languages or dialects but fact is they are mutually unintelligible varieties with mostly different words, far more than can be contained in an article. At the same time it is completely ignoring other Chinese languages. Second there is no single "China" vocabulary as the first column suggests; Cantonese, Mandarin and other Chinese languages are spoken and used in China. Third as per WP:MOS#Foreign terms "Foreign words should be used sparingly". An article that consists largely of a table of Chinese characters clearly does not satisfy this: even with phonetic translations there would be far too much Chinese text. See also MOS:CHINA which says "do not use characters or romanized forms excessively, such as for common words, making this a kind of English–Chinese bilingual edition". And lastly WP:NOT#DICT.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 21:06, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. If a subject is potentially encyclopedic, flaws are never a reason to delete, but to fix. Our rule on avoiding Chinese characters when not needed for identification obviously does not apply when we are actually discussing the Chinese language! (just as an article on the German language will be useless unless it contains a good deal of German!) DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiographical articles are strongly discouraged but that is what this appears to be: it was written by User:Harris DC about the Harris County District Clerk. Whilst I commend the author for removing the most peacocky of the content within the article when advised to do so, this still remains an entirely flattering and one-sided profile of a subject whose political career depends on a positive public perception and appears to fall foul of WP:SOAP. Then there is the question of notability: WP:POLITICIAN notes that elected politicians at state level or greater are generally notable, but this is a county post. Not all the refs mention the subject and those that do are doubtful in terms of meeting WP:GNG. I have strong reservations about the article's neurality and there does not appear to be sufficient notability to justify its inclusion. I42 (talk) 19:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The office he was elected to is nowhere near high enough for him to meet our notability guidelines for politicians. Article can be recreated if he moves up to a higher office. No other persuasive claim to notability is made. Cullen328 (talk) 20:21, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I originally deleted it per {{db-g11}} as spam and restored it (reluctantly) per author Harris DC's complaint on my talk page. After restoration, Harris DC removed speedy deletion tags and Collinsbarry showed up for a single edit to do the same. I agree completely with the nominator's deletion rationale and with Cullen 348. – Athaenara ✉ 23:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those contributing to the page are new to wikipedia. Athaenara is right in that the guidelines on rules where not initially followed, but that has since ceased after being put on notice by same.

The office answers to 4.3 million tax payers. The office holder was voted in by over half a million voters in the 2010 election (with over 1.2 million people total voting in this race alone). The county is the largest in TX. The DA (district attorney Pat Lykos has her own page, yet without the district clerk to manage the Sheriff and DA's criminal intake PLUS the 74 countywide courts and staff and paperwork/ filings that go withit, she cannot do her job and prosecute any criminals.

It is a farce to say that this position is not notable when the office controls 500 employees and 26.6 million dollars in budget. It is a farce when the district clerk of the largest county in Texas gets elected with more votes than candidate for US senate or Governor in other states like Delaware. I understand that the username was in conflict, but i just picked a name. My goal is to flesh out the existing Harris County website with a note on each of its office holders.

Not sure the editors are aware, but Houston is only one third the size in population of Harris County (and resides almost entirely inside the county). More people voted for District Clerk then for Mayor Annise Parker.--Harris DC (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Houston is currently the forth largest city in the US (residing almost entirely inside Harris County), and yet is only one third of Harris County's entire population. The County-wide office holders clearly merit articles.--Harris DC (talk) 04:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As stated above, in terms of WP:POLITICIAN, county-wide or city-wide position in a large municipalty is sometimes kept, and sometimes not. However, in this case, the latter seems appropriate. Regardless of one's position on whether one of the biographical subguidelines is met, given that this is a WP:BLP article, WP:GNG still needs to be met, and the substantive coverage from WP:RS does not exist here. Some weak election coverage and information about the office itself do not indicate non-trivial information actually about the person. --Kinu t/c 21:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not a position that will make someone notable for the purposes of a general encyclopedia, even in a large metropolitan area. Some county positions are: the county sherriff or DA would be notable. DGG ( talk ) 05:51, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Good arguments have been madeas to why this an exception to the local government rule. Additionally, although sources are currently lacking, they surely can be found and most likely will be added with time. The vanity issue has been addressed and begun to be remedied. I don't love the article in its current state, but deletion is not the answer, since it has the full potential to meet verifiability and notability.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 21:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's a bit more serious than sometimes getting mixed up, McCartney's ex-wife has made serious attempts to impersonate her, and this implies that she has some significant standing as a journalist to make her identity worth stealing. PatGallacher (talk) 21:17, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see that implication, Pat. If she was impersonated, it's because the name is the same, according to the sources, not for any other reason. Per BLPIE, that can be mentioned in the Heather Mills article, but it's not reason enough to create a stand-alone BLP. Bottom line is there are no sources on this Heather Mills that we can use to create a bio, except to tell us that she's been impersonated. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 21:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prod declined rather rudely. Anyway, overspecific list. Parent list List of moths of Israel doesn't exist, so why should it have an even more specific subpage? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question Is this kind of list normal? I can't imagine that there is any species of moth found in Israel that is not also found in at least one of its neighbors. Should we have lists for every nation in the world (not to mention US states, etc.) for every family of animals? If so keep this one. Borock (talk) 19:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm no moth expert but lists like this are generally useful for identifying what can be found in Israel as opposed to a list that highlights exclusivity of populations. If that makes sense... TomPointTwo (talk) 20:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • (ec) Yes, maybe, and yes. Fauna lists by country (and even by state or other subdivision) are a significant topic in popular and scientific literature, regardless of whether those species are endemic to that country. People are interested in not only where species X can be found (as a distribution map would illustrate in that species' article), but in what can be found in location Y, so it makes sense to present the information for both purposes. postdlf (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Biogeography of the Lepidoptera is not my speciality, but a list of moths of the Eastern Mediterranean, or a list of Microlepidoptera of the Eastern Mediterranean, would seem more sensible to me. Israel is a small country and not an island, while nearly all of the other lists in Category:Regional moth lists are for either vast countries or islands.

This article was deleted at its first AfD on the grounds that though a tragic event there was no evidence of the lasting effects required by WP:EVENT. It has now been reposted with an additional paragraph saying that the school and the local authority have said that they will review their anti-bullying policies. Announcement of a review is the normal reaction of any organisation to fend off criticism, and it does not seem to me that this addition is significant enough to overcome the reasons given for deletion at the AfD. The new version was tagged WP:CSD#G4 and in my view it qualifies, but I am sure that a G4 deletion would be challenged at DRV, which would probably say that the article should be relisted, so to save time I bring it straight back here.

That's "What's in a name" article doesn't really say more about the article subject than that Raphael's death is "the latest in a long line of high-profile children's suicides attributed to bullying". I'm not sure how that's sign of a long last effect.

There is no such thing like a german or english wikipedia!!! The only difference is the language.

A example: if Sarah Knappik would compete in a show like the "Dschungelcamp" in any other country of the world and would get there a media reaction like in Germany, the article has to be relevant in the german language wikipedia, as well as in any other wikipedia. --88.79.92.162 (talk) 17:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: As I happen to come from Germany and in addition to this, watched every episode of the show, allow me to explain her person to those of you who don't know her: she was a partipicant of the german leg of American Idol and lost relativly early. After that, she has done nothing of significance. Now she has entered the show I'm a Celebrity and it is highly doubtable that she will win, it is most likely that she will leave the show at this very day. So, the main question is, where does her notability, which is disscused here, come from? That she lost in two shows and happens to have a difficult personality? I don't think that is enough to give her an own article. Aside from that, not every wannabe-celebrity that has an article in a national wikipedia is notable enough to deserve an international article.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 23:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    comment The fact that *everybody* seems to know her chances to win or not to win indicates that there is enough media coverage to establish notability. Is she a worthwhile inclusion ie really important? Not really. "Notability" in the wikipedia sense is a misnomer. Here we think it means the subject of the article is noted - In RL we think the term means "worth noting". There are a lot of of worthwhile articles-subjects we can't include because there are no sources. On the other hand the media seem to have a great interest in subjects of very little worth. That is what we call a 'celebrity'. And 'celebraties' are notable in the wikipedia sense. Agathoclea (talk) 08:37, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No coverage outside of the social media press. All references are promotional puff pieces. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 08:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ABC Online: They're just crediting fanpop for sourcing the image (I can't see how this could be the original source, but okay)
Newweek: ""I want him to take me to prom, but after that, the next move is his," gushes fan Dottie, 17, on Cera's FanPop.com Web page. "All hail Michael Cera!"" - this isn't coverage of fanpop
USA Today: Briefly mentions that a teenager uses the site.
I've been through every result (there are only four pages). Apart from the Sacramento one (which is a promotional piece from 2006) there is no actual coverage of Fanpop. They are brief mentions that don't satisfy Wikipedia:Notability. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 05:40, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  1. In this article from USA Today, Fanpop.com is used to set an example of a large network. This is not a "brief mentioning of a teenager", but rather a reference to Fanpop.com as a major platform for countless fans to communicate;
  2. Two full reviews here and here;
  3. ABC Online uses Fanpop.com as a source here and here;
  4. Brief or not, this is a major newspaper using Fanpop.com as a source again – this time for a quote;
  5. There are numerous sources in foreign languages, such as Spanish (with domain extensions spread all over Europe and multiple South American countries), Italian, German, Polish, Slovakian, etc. This establishes worldwide notability as well, i.e. Fanpop.com is also notable outside of the English-speaking circle (which is not that small by itself). Hearfourmewesique (talk) 16:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I urge anybody viewing this debate to go to each of the above examples and do a search on the pages for fanpop. Really not mentions that show notability. The exception is your examples in 2, but if you think that's independent coverage and not promotion you're being a bit naive. The non-English links are just social networking detritus. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 20:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All your personal opinion, completely irrelevant to Wikipedia's interests. Interestingly enough, you created this deletion proposal in a very convenient timing – to justify your earlier comment that it's a "poor source". This Wikipedia essay should explain it all; your arguments are all forced and the other two editors are simply waving policy names. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 05:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I found a bunch of fanpop spam, and that led me to discover the article which I noticed was a deletion candidate. Deal with it, and stop focusing on editors instead of content. My opinions match those set out in WP:NOTABILTY and WP:RS. If I aired my opinions with no respect to guidelines they would sound more like "let's delete this awful spam on sight". Wenttomowameadow (talk) 12:19, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Again, "spam" is your opinion. Please, let's stop right here and let uninvolved editors chime in. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 16:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's my point; "Pah, this is just useless spam" would be my opinion, which is why I'm not putting that forward as an argument. The argument I am putting forward is based in policy. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 19:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve: Fanpop is a highly trafficked website and, in some ways, part of the new social media. There are some aspects of the article as it is presently written that are not important enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia in my view, such as the breakdown of most popular clubs, but that does not mean that there should be no Fanpop article on Wikipedia. In a lot of ways, Fanpop has become an online hub for supporters of various fandoms, people, and entities, and as such, is wholly notable for its service as a vehicle to aid in this commingling. I concede that Fanpop will probably never become as prominent as MySpace or Facebook, but it's certainly notable enough for at the very least a few paragraphs on Wikipedia. There is a case to be made here for improvement, but the case to nuke this article just falls short in my book. --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 02:16, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I only have one further comment to make. I would recommend that all in favor of deleting this article, as well as the AfD closing administrator, take a 10-minute field trip over to the actual website to judge it firsthand (if you have not done so already). Yes, such an excursion would do nothing about the issue of media coverage, but it could aid in the overall determination of whether Fanpop is something worth having a Wikipedia article for or not.

  • Delete - I have actually cited Ultimate Motorcycling in articles in the past, but I've lost confidence in their independence. I tried to find news articles about them, and came up only with press releases. This press release claims they are the #1 US streetbike magazine web site according to Alexa.com, which might be a claim to notability. Something called FishbowlLA blogged in response. My take is that the list of top 10 Alexa traffic rankings for US streetbike magazines is not considered notable by independent media to a degree that would meet the criterion at the top of WP:WEB "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself".

Minor author with no evidence of notability. The only source is a local newspaper, where the main reason for mentioning him seems to be that he is a "local" author. I know people of no notability at all who have received this much local press coverage. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:01, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Watson's novel Talking in Whispers seems to have garnered enough attention to merit an article per WP:NBOOK criteria #4, as Google books shows that it is used in many curricula. Perhaps the article could be rewritten with an emphasis on the book, with the author's biograpical information retained? It would then need to be moved to the new title "Talking in Whispers". Note that this is simply a suggestion, I have no strong inclination towards keeping or deleting the article. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Talking in Whispers is his most famous book but his other work has also received significant coverage. See for example the "Authorgraph" profile and interview in Books for Keeps 58 (September 1989).[8] (As explained at the Books for Keeps website, "Authors selected for ‘Authorgraphing’ usually have a considerable publishing track-record and reputation."[9].) See also the several reviews listed by Tassedethe in the first Afd.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Talking in Whispers and other works,and its coverage.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Amazon.com doesn't even sell most of his books [10], minor author and hardly any independent coverage other than a small town seemingly trying to promote itself (this is like claiming a local league sport is notable because the local newspaper covers it). WikiManOne (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Talking in Whispers (1983) is listed (and given an extensive page-long discussion) as one of the critic Julia Eccleshare's 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up (Cassell, 2009). This establishes WP:NOTABILITY as a significant children's author. The Freedom Tree (1976) is also widely reviewed. A profile of the author with a critical assessment of his career to date was included in Something about the author, vol 10, p. 192 (Gale Research, 1976), confirming independent assessment of his notability in this field, even then. Jheald (talk) 19:05, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article itself provides evidence of notability. Just because it isn't on Amazon is hardly compelling. A lot of books - particularly older ones or those in the pre-internet age - aren't available on Amazon. In any event, some of his books are available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/gIowaw. Moreover, the fact that his work has won or been nominated for notable awards is further evidence of notability.Agent 86 (talk) 00:21, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article fails to make a case against the criteria of WP:ORG. Non-trivial independent reliable sources showing impact on the historic record have not been found. Unfortunately the article creator (who is employed by the same company, see user page) has persisted in removing improvement notices, speedy deletion tags and a PROD so raising for wider discussion.

I have added reliable newspaper articles to improve notability. I'm still working on the article and i need more time. Thanks Suraj (talk) 11:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the coverage in the cites is not substantial, and I found one dead link. I am sure that the author is well-meaning, but I suggest that he review WP:COI. It this company is truely notable, list it as a wanted article, and let someone else come along, research it and write the article. In general, it is very difficult to assess India-based companies because most AfD participants are not familiar with India-based media. However, even giving this article the benefit of the doubt, I do not see substantial coverage. Racepacket (talk) 13:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete does not meet WP:COMPANY. The coverage added is not indepth and substantial. Suraj, for an indian company to pass our notability standards, we usually need multiple indepth articles in media outlets like ET, business line, business world, cnbc etc. Even BSE/NSE listed companies have failed to meet our notability guidelines before. It is possible that your company has had such coverage. Move the article to your userspace, add them and then resubmit.--Sodabottle (talk) 08:54, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Shevrin's paper and Dixon's text are listed among the article's "further reading" list.

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1114 AH. Apparently, this whole scheme isn't speedy-deletable per that consensus, so I'm nominating the remaining articles here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:58, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Full list
  • Convert to navigation pages If people pop these into the search box, something should exist to direct them to the year articles that we have on Wikipedia. To that end I propose these all redirect to a navigation page containing a list of every year AH that exists, and it's start and end dates in AD, and every year AD for the period that AH exists, with start and end dates in AH. As AH is a lunar calendar, there is no simple math formula that can be used, the start and end dates shift relating AH to AD every single year. 65.93.14.196 (talk) 06:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect the AH pages with little or no added content to the corresponding century articles. The century articles can contain information by year in a list format, and they allow the reader to see more information in its historical context. Those years that have a significant level of detail can be forked back out into separate AH articles.—RJH (talk) 16:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The problem I see with this approach is that the content of these articles is restricted to Islamic events. This is no more appropriate than a list of centuries AD restricted to Christian events. Islamic events can be incorporated into the BCE/CE articles, just as non-Islamic events are. As they are written, this is a collection of 200+ articles of the form "List of Islamic-related events in the year X AH" and we just don't need that. (As evidence that we don't need it, most of the articles are blank except for section headers, amounting to empty lists.) YardsGreen (talk) 07:12, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment—As I see it, Islamic events are more closely interrelated to each other than non-Islamic events. Hence it is logical to group them together. Sorry but I'll have to disagree and my preference remains the same.—RJH (talk) 16:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Islam-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 02:36, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree with the following comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1114 AH by Paul McDonald:

    There is no encyclopedic reason to have a separate page for every possible unit of measure conversion on a numeric scale. If there is a reason that this particular time period is of importance, then YES by all means (say, something of significance about the time period 1114 AH). But I don't see that in the article.

  • Whoa That is a massive list. I agree with the consensus to delete at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1114 AH, and that should extend to all of these articles as well. But with so many articles, I'd like to first make sure that any notable information in any of them is already duplicated at the corresponding Gregorian pages. YardsGreen (talk) 06:19, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Review Of the ~200 articles listed, only 82 have any information at all. I am reviewing these one by one to see if the information is duplicated at the Gregorian page, but it is time-consuming. Much of the information is not duplicated, so I am duplicating the easiest info as I go. I am tracking my progress on my user page, but I will soon need to stop for the night. I believe the large amount of information in the AH articles that is not in the CE articles strengthens the case for deletion. As I read the articles, it feels like there are two separate Wikipedias here, one Islamic, the other not. That should not be the case. YardsGreen (talk) 09:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This publishing company has had barely any coverage in reliable third-party sources. The BBC reference in the article only mentions the publisher as a side-note at the bottom of the page. The rest of the references are either broken or belong to the company itself. The company hasn't even published any works notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. This article should have been deleted on one of the previous two AfDs, but hopefully third time's the charm! – PeeJay 17:09, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - firstly, what right does the nominator have to say "This article should have been deleted on one of the previous two AfDs" - one was a clear keep and the other was no consensus. I hate to accuse anyone of sour grapes, but that's what this looks like, as on each previous occasion the nominator "voted" for delete. Secondly, the BBC article is about the collective's most important publication. You say "the article only mentions the publisher as a side-note" - that may be true, but the whole article is about "In That Number" which is referred to as "a significant work of football reference in its own right". If this AfD succeeds, most of the publication houses in Category:Book publishing companies of the United Kingdom will also have to be deleted on the same grounds. Of the first four in that category, only one has any independent references. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 17:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • If the BBC article is about the publication, then the publication should have an article, not the publisher. There's nothing notable about this publishing company, as proven by the complete lack of references that deal specifically with the company itself. – PeeJay 00:25, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I know I !voted "delete" on the last AfD, but there has been no community consensus to delete this article after two AfDs, and Daemonic Kangaroo makes a valid argument for keeping. GiantSnowman 13:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Does he though? Like I said above, the BBC story used in the article only mentions Hagiology once, and if the book "In That Number" is that significant a football reference, maybe it should have an article instead. – PeeJay 07:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Sorry, I'm with Peejay. Notability is not transferable, and if this publisher does not meet the GNG or WP:ORG on its own merits, then it should be deleted or merged to the appropriate article. Speaking of merits, can we judge this AfD on them, and not on whether the nom's daring to diss the previous consensus or whether other publishing house articles may or may not be at risk?

  • Delete. Four independent sources, yes, but none of them devotes more than two sentences to the publisher itself. The reviews could be used to establish notability for the individual books - In that number might even justify an article - but Hagiology would appear to fail WP:ORG by a very long way. Alzarian16 (talk) 18:17, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment As the wind seems to be blowing towards deletion, can I suggest that the article content is trimmed and merged into the Southampton FC article, with the Hagiology article becoming a redirect, especially bearing in mind the large number of redlinks that deletion would cause. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unsure. I've never heard of her, but then I don't read the Daily Telegraph. Likewise, there are countless articles in Wikipedia about journalists who seem equally obscure to me. In defence of this article, she does write for a leading national newspaper and, in addition to being a columnist, is also a novelist. That makes her more than just a run-of-the-mill journo.

The phrase "Quantum electrodynamic threshold" does not appear to be notable. (Google scholar finds only the single use in Scientific American, google books and regular google turn up mostly wikipedia mirrors and circular refs.) Anything useful said about the content of the Scientific American article is already contained in the magnetar article, so there is nothing to merge.TimothyRias (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC) TimothyRias (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is just the field strength where relativistic corrections become important. The article is borderline copyvio of the Scientific American article (which is a good read, incidentally). As an aside, we need an article on Schwinger field, if anyone feels up to writing it. - 2/0 (cont.) 23:07, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Scratch that, relativistic effects become important well below this. This is more like where the interaction energy of an electron bound in a magnetic field becomes stronger than its rest mass (E = ħ*eB/mec exceeds mec2). This looks like it should give a critical field strength, which I suppose could also be called a threshold value. Back of the envelope gives gigatesla, so this is probably what they mean. The atoms deforming bullet happens at any field strength, but it should get really interesting when it goes quasi-two dimensional. I do not see why this would be the same value as above but I may be wrong here.
I strongly suspect that there is a different name for this critical value, but as the nominator says, it does not appear to be a term in common use. As the article stands, it provides less information than no article would (assuming that the good bits are already at magnetar, I have not checked). Do we have anyone here with a stronger particles/astrophysics background? Pair production for me is just another a power leech and even the Z machine comes nowhere near this, so this particular limit is a bit far afield (har). - 2/0 (cont.) 00:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Looking around some more, there seems to be at least some literature about the special properties of very strong magnetic fields with a field strength above some critical value. Thusfar, it seems that it is mostly referred as just "BQ" (where I assume the Q stands for quantum), but also "quantum critical field strength" (searching for the last phrase on google scholar and books actually produces some results. I think the best option might be to rename this article, and expand it. One option would be quantum critical field strength, another would be to go for a more descriptive name like ultra-strong magnetic fields.TimothyRias (talk) 09:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - none of these entries are notable or sourced.

  • Delete (without prejudice) per Racepacket; there is no point to listing non-notable people associated with a university. If it turns out that there are sufficient notable people verifiably associated with the university, whether faculty or alumni, then the list can either be recreated (well, started again from scratch), but right now it looks like only one of those listed merits an article, so he can simply be listed in the university's own article. Also, any individuals who are verifiably significant to the university though not notable could merely be mentioned in the university's own article. postdlf (talk) 19:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the initial press release, this company never formed, and the project they were supposedly working on is long since cancelled. I live in Wellington and work in the industry and can confirm the company does not exist. Chopper Dave (talk) 02:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I do not wish to vote, but I do wish to comment. I feel that you would need need an official reference or source saying that the company is no longer active or was never formed, not just 'your word for it'. According to an IGN artical, the have a game that is currently 'TBA' and is nothing to do with Halo Chronicals. I don't know how often IGN update their pages though, or if it is a reliable source.

Comment - Understandable, it's hard to prove something doesn't exist :) No phone number in the NZ phonebook, they're not part of the New Zealand Game Developers Association, and there is no mention of them outside speculation for the title and a press release or two. They have no website, and searching '"Wingnut Interactive" Hiring' on google results in no actual hiring ads. They were literally announced as part of a deal, registered, and then never formed.

Wikipedia is not for lists or repositories of loosely associated topics. The list is also a non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations of unrelated items as well as derived entirely in primary sources.

  • Delete. It looks like its all O.R. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 11:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The only real deletion argument I see here is that this is all unsourced OR. "X in popular culture" articles comprise a large and longstanding topic (see extensive contents of Category:Topics in popular culture), many of which have passed through AFDs successfully, and there are many other ones similar to this one in Category:Mythology in popular culture. So I don't think there is anything close to a consensus that this topic constitutes "a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization" (I see it as just a categorization - X in Y) or a "repository of loosely associated topics," and I don't see an explanation here as to why it should be viewed as such. A valid, sourced article on (or list of examples of) Japanese mythology in popular culture is certainly conceivable, so the only question should be whether there is anything salvageable here, or whether it's better to just clear this and start over. postdlf (talk) 16:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The topic is clearly notable, as a few minutes' searching finds coverage of the influence of Japanese mythology on anime and manga (ISBN 9780812693638, p. 69), horror fiction (ISBN 9780595201815, various pages), Pokémon (ISBN 9780822332879, p. 17), science fiction (JSTOR 4239700) and video games (doi:10.1007/978-1-4020-9949-6, pp. 25–42). As with many of our "in popular culture" articles this one currently just lists examples rather than providing actual encyclopedic content about the subject, but the sources exist to allow that problem to be fixed by editing.

  • Comment I think if anything, if there is an article just on the use of the term Macaca, that could be a target. Also the above two "deletes" should be dismissed as WP:JNN and WP:JUSTAVOTE. I still favor keeping. I don't believe "minor" is a good argument favoring deletion (see WP:USELESS); this article I believe was targeted for deletion simply because it is short. There is no minimum length for an article in order to be worthy of inclusion, and the term is notable after all. Xyz7890 (talk) 05:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So I looked further... under the Russian spelling of his name, Олег Фриш and found 3 unfathomable book sources,[22] and 3 more google news sources... minsk.by,[23] Русское радио,[24] and newsru.com.[25] And while a regular google search under his Amercican name brings back a bit over 1,000 hits,[26] a similar search under his Russian name brings back over 3 thousand results,[27] So he may be more notable in Russian than he is in English.

  • Keep. He was recorded at Capitol Studios. So this makes a second brick :-) IMO a sufficient notability for an entertainer. Muslim lo Juheu (talk) 02:01, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It has not been demonstrated that he satisfies WP:BIO. Not everyone who records a record at Capitol Studios automatically gets an encyclopedia article. Did Capitol release the record, or was it recorded at Capitol for private distribution? How high did it climb in the popular music charts? Perhaps someone could demonstrate that he also has multiple reliable and independent sources with substantial coverage. Edison (talk) 15:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, you are wrong about Capitol. If it were a single claim for natability, then I would agree with you. But a colleague above mentions that he found significant sources in Russian language. I fail to see why a host of a long-standing TV program and took significant role in some several other shows. is nonnotable. In other words, per WP:BIO/entertainers (Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions), your argument is rebutted. Muslim lo Juheu (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Machine translations are not the preference, however the in-depth article Edison did machine translate,[28] and the other two found that he did not acknowledge,[29][30] act as futher indicators of the GNG being met and of a notability to Russia suitable enough for en.Wikipedia, even with us not having heard of this gentleman in the West. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • What is the nonsense about "Did not acknowledge??" Only the one article I cited showed up in Google News Archive search. The first of the articles you found somewhere provides only a passing reference and does not establish notability: (In translation). The second one, which you also found somewhere, just says (in translation): "Resnick: I did not know that this is such a popular channel, called me Oleg Frish, I just talked to him. He said: How do you feel about this? I replied that I am very sorry, and I do not like it. Kirkorov: You have so many years living in America, you are well aware of Frisch and to the station. This is the most popular radio station. Resnick: I never knew it was a popular channel. " Another passing reference, which establishes that Resnick did not know it was a popular radio program. This is your best evidence for notability? Edison (talk) 02:41, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I will continue to hope for input from Russian Wikipedians with access to sources unavailable online in the West, as where there is even one significant and in depth article found, there may well be more. And even "passing mentions" may be used to per policy properly verify some aspect of a BLP, such as the individual and his show being spoken about and referred to by others... even if negatively.

Contested PROD. Rationale was "The subject of the article does not satisfy the criteria listed in WP:BAND. The single independent reference provided is a local/regional newspaper." The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 04:09, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - the article's author (who also appears to be a member of the band) has since provided a significant number of additional sources, although again they seem to be mostly local or regional.

Appears to fail the general notability guideline and WP:ATHLETE. Existing references appear to be either unreliable or trivial in nature, not a discussion of the topic. The exception is this article. I am unable to view the full text, but it appears to be a fairly in-depth discussion by a regional source, but to me this alone doesn't meet the general guideline. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything better. VQuakr (talk) 04:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific about how this reference shows the subject meets WP:ATHLETE? Specifically, the policy says "Listings of statistics must clearly satisfy the requirement for significant coverage." Thanks! VQuakr (talk) 19:44, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reference shows he was in more than one title fight and meets WP:ATHLETE. Can you demonstrate that the information is not reliable? Kugao (talk) 19:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not user-generated? That being said, I don't really doubt that he's been in the fights listed there so if they qualify as "professional competition at the highest level" then we're probably done here. VQuakr (talk) 19:57, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of sources for notability. I checked LexisNexis (behind a paywall but exhaustive and it found only one piece mentioning his name La Nación (Costa Rica) August 26, 2006). The spanish text can be found at [32], "IMAS recorta presupuesto para fiesta" the relevant text "En el acto participará el presidente Óscar Arias Sánchez, el ministro de Lucha contra la pobreza, Fernando Zumbado, y el artista costarricense Hugo Sánchez Bonilla, quien creó el logo del IMAS en 1972. A este último se le brindará un reconocimiento especial." which google translation gives as "Participate in the event President Oscar Arias Sánchez, the minister for Combating Poverty, Fernando Zumbado, and Hugo Sanchez Bonilla Costa Rican artist who created the logo of the IMAS in 1972. The latter will provide special recognition" IMAS stands for Instituto Mixto de Ayuda Social (Spanish: Joint Social Welfare Institute; Costa Rica)[33]. The only other source I can find is this page [34] for an exhibition at Pennsylvania State University.

There is no article for him on the Spanish language wikipedia. I checked without finding a single mention of him on the following paywalled databases: "Art Retrospective:Index of abstracts from art periodicals published throughout the world" and "ARTbibliographies Index of literature on modern and contemporary art, photography and design."

Failure to find any reliable sources including newspapers etc covered by lexisnexus. One problem is that there is a notable John Tynan who is a jazz writer (and has yet to have a wikipedia article) which makes hunting sources difficult. But searching with his name and the bands mentioned finds only a few pages with tangential references.[35],[36], [37].

It is a concern that the initial article was created by the individual that is also the same individual that uploaded an accompanying image based upon a painting they owned of Tynan suggesting a connection with the individual.

Being a road manager of bands does not seem of itself grounds for notability LittleHow (talk) 11:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of an actor who fails WP:ENTERTAINER. Only ever credited with minor roles. Article was created as part of a hoax campaign by a now banned user, with much greater claims of notability. When unverifiable claims were removed, we're left with a biography that can only cite IMDB and other similar film databases as a source. No significant coverage to be found.

  • Delete was in some notable films but in small, mostly unnamed roles, some of which don't seem to match up with the claims in the article, for example: IMDB gives his credit in South Pacific as "Pilot in Hospital", one of three people with that credit.
