An article derived from a website bio with OTRS permission, unfortunately doesn't imply any notability. Step hen 23:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - looks like there could possibly be some notability, unfortunately the source is biased, and the article is written like an advertisement. --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 00:11, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The subject's career is simply describe in this article. She probably is quite competent in her job, but there is nothing to suggest she is notable. It appears to have been created as form of personal advertising.Rotmo (talk) 04:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete: This is a pretty blatant G11 case, especially given that there's nothing in the article that suggests the subject would pass the GNG, WP:BIO or any other notability criteria on her own merits. OTRS can certainly suspend the provisions of WP:COPYVIO, but it can't grant a free pass from the CSD criteria. Ravenswing 18:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Manuel Castellanos López

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

I find no matches under this name in GNews or GBooks. The article has been given a grace period as an unsourced BLP for over 3 years. Against the criteria of WP:ARTIST there may be a claim if sources can be found to support permanent public exhibition, though the only sources I can find by Google searching are circular references to this Wikipedia article and translations of it. Raising for wider discussion rather than PROD as deletion will rely on this being a sustained failure to address WP:V and there being little likelihood of this being addressed in the near future rather than potential (unsourced) claims of notability.

Comment I found a detailed entry describing the career of Manuel Castellanos López at the website of Taller Experimental de Gráfica (TEG) (looks like a reliable institution mapping the development of Cuban arts). The name is Spanish, and it is better to search without the second surname, full names are used rarely in Spanish. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 23:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The work of the same person was a part of the exhibiton Cuba: art and history, from 1868 to today and is mentioned in the homonymous book (organized and published by Montreal Museum of Fine Arts), see [1], detailed review of the exhibition is available here. In my opinion we should keep this kind of information. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding the sources. TEG appears to be a type of technical college and the page about Lopez being his CV, presumably because has been a teacher there. On its own this does not address notability. I do not have a copy of the Cuba book, though on Google I can see a mention of his name but am left wondering if this is a tangential mention or if his significance is made clear, if you have the book perhaps you could clarify with a quote? The page referenced at www.mbam.qc.ca does not mention Lopez, perhaps there is another page somewhere that does? Fæ (talk) 06:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Castellanos was/is a member of TEG. Unfortunately, I don't have the book and I can't find anything apart from brief mentions in inaccessible Cuban magazines. The problem is that newspapers and magazines published on this somewhat isolated island in the 1970s and 80s aren't available online. My keep vote is based on fact that Castellanos is an internationally exhibited artist for several decades. This is verifiable by reliable sources and it is in my opinion sufficient. I admit, the coverage is very weak. It's just my opinion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you have additional verifiable sources to address the WP:ARTIST criteria, please go ahead and add them to the article as it currently has none and this may address the AFD by default. BTW, I note that the British Library have a copy of Bondil's book and I'm happy to check it the next time I'm there, but this may be in a couple of weeks time. Fæ (talk) 10:32, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm forced to rely on online sources, and I'm afraid it is insufficient in this case (Cuban artist who was active mainly between 1970 and 1990). Another problem is artist's name, it seems to be quite usual in Spanish speaking countries. However, things should be discussed and judged properly. Thanks for your willingness to check the book. I added the fragments I found. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have the (large) Cuba book in front of me (thank you British Library for your free wifi). On page 259 in the section "The 1970s: Recovery and Contemporaneity" it states "Manuel Castellanos, a meticulous draftsman, created a world of imaginative and symbolic richness in an original style, tackling Cuban reality with mordant wit. A master of the pencil drawing, he employs an intellectualized popular theme in A Comdatant People on the March (illustration 303). A landmark in Cuban drawing, it was a pioneering use of a map of the country's outline to refer to Cuban society as a whole. This contemporary motif was subsequently adopted for other purposes by Antonio E. Fernandez (Tonel), Ibrahim Miranda, Sandra Ramos and Abel Barroso." The illustration mentioned (303) is of his painting dated 1980 which is of a carefully drawn map of Cuba with various monsters around it in the ocean. The ISBN is 9782891923231 and as well as English exists in French and Spanish editions under other ISBNs. Fæ (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the basis of the new source with the quotation given above which can be taken as an unambiguous demonstration against several of the notability criteria defined in WP:ARTIST. As the nominator my opinion has no special status but I suggest this is taken as a strong likelihood of Snow Keep. Fæ (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Berstad

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

The subject of this article does not appear to meet the general notability guideline or the WP:NFOOTBALL guideline for association football players. PROD was contested with the comment “has played 303 matches in the top league in Norway & won the national cup in 1993”, however no sources were added to verify these claims, and I am unable to find significant independent coverage in reliable sources.

Keep - I found several sources which corroborate the disputed facts of this person's career. See [2] and [3]. Also, he appears to pass WP:NFOOTBALL, which states that "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable." And if you click on the link to WP:FPL, you'll see that Tippeligaen is considered a fully professional league. —SW— ^express 04:31, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The sources you listed above provide no significant coverage of the person. And being named as a coach is not the same as being the manager of team. This article needs to be supported by references to verify that he has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Keep per above. Geschichte (talk) 20:42, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - That is the claim, but what is missing is WP:Verifiability. Show me a reliable source that he has played in a top league and I will withdraw my nomination. Onthegogo (talk) 21:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind that this is a Norwegian athlete, so sources may not be easy to find for those who do not regularly access Norwegian sources and/or speak Norwegian. In any case, in the sources that are easily findable, it's clear that he has played in hundreds of games for a pro team, therefore satisfying WP:NFOOTBALL. See [4][5][6][7][8]. Unless, of course, you think that someone is playing an elaborate hoax by inserting Charles Berstad into all of these various unrelated norwegian football websites. —SW— ^babble 21:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I should not need to remind you of WP:Verifiability: the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Onthegogo (talk) 21:49, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability is precisely what has been demonstrated above. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Tippeligaen has been fully professional for nearly 20 years. I've found a page on Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation that confirms he made 303 appearances in the Norwegian top division which I will add now. Argyle 4 Life^talk 16:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Zeitgeist Movement

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

Article was deleted back in 2008, on the basis of no notability and no reliable sources. There's still barely anything present establishing proper notability. Sloane (talk) 21:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep and edit The earlier deletion should not prejudice matters--another admin, in declining a G4 speedy as a re-creation, said " is significantly longer and has more sources now", a judgment I agree with. I'm not sure being longer is beneficial, though, it is a little overextended in comparison with the available material. I consider the March 16, 2009 NYTimes article on the movement "They’ve Seen the Future and Dislike the Present" [9] a sufficient reference to establish notability DGG ( talk ) 21:31, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You consider a single newspaper article sufficient?--Sloane (talk) 22:14, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Edit There is a bit of a self-promoting tone here, but the subject matter shouldn't be up for debate for removal. The movement has gained enough following and interest to merit notability. The Zeitgeist Movement's Peter Joseph just released a documentary called "Moving Forward", which has just about a quarter of a million views on "YouTube" alone. I could probably consider hundreds of subjects and items off-hand that hold far less notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.25.30.105 (talk) 09:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep NYT story usually establishes notability here. A good WP article would be useful to people interested in learning more about this movement. On the other hand the contributors to the article should be given a lecture about writing in a neutral tone so that the impression of self-promotion is not given. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - In the past few years it has gain notability. Maybe some parts of the article need neutralization, but the movement itself i think has the notability needed to have an article here. Gonchibolso12 (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The main thing that seems to get brought up here is the notability of the topic. Just on the bases that I've known about it for some time now, and most people I've come across know about it as well, I'd give it a pass on that. Zeitgeist Movement returns just under 2 million results on Google. I'd say that's pretty notable. To put that in perspective, Buck Bumble returns about 64,000, why isn't anyone questioning that topic's notability? Because nobody gives a fuck about Buck Bumble. This seems to be more of an issue about personal disagreement rather than objective qualification. --Renegade78 (talk) 21:54, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Google hits are meaningless when establishing notability. We need multiple, reliable sources.--Sloane (talk) 22:16, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Here's a reputable, peer reviewed Australian journal article written by a psychotherapist with a PhD [10] [11]. --Renegade78 (talk) 16:33, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Seems have have at least a bare minimum of notability, but it would be nice to see a few more sources on notability. Also currently up on AFD that people here may be interested in: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zeitgeist: Addendum (3rd nomination) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zeitgeist: Moving Forward -- Monty845 (talk) 01:46, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A definite keep. I don't think the notoriety of the Zeitgeist Movement is in question, no matter what one's personal feelings about it are. There are 500,000 individual members of the movement. (In comparison, the British Labour Party has less than 200,000). It returns over 500,000 results on Google (when the term is specifically defined). And there are numerous mentions of it across various media. The argument that it has no notoriety seems to me patently false, and smacks of people peddling an agenda. The overall quality of the entry itself might well be questioned, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.30.43.61 (talk) 19:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Of note, all but three of the citations in the article are primary sources. I'm not convinced this passes Notability for a stand-alone article, but it's enough to be included in a related article (most likely Zeitgeist: The Movie). I'd lean towards Merge to that article, with substantial trimming. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 00:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Edit, while all these guys are saying is "communism + big brother x 10 = GREAT IDEA" it is a good article to keep so people can learn more without needing to read the official site, which is blatantly sugar-coating itself and saying it's the best choice. A wikipedia article that is NPOV would help people get their own personal POV. Jax-Kenobi (talk) 19:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sherlock Holmes (2009 film series)

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

One film and an unreleased sequel do not need their own article as a "series" Yaksar (let's chat) 20:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree that the article is not really needed, and gives the impression of fandom. However I can't really see a reason in policy that WP shouldn't have an article on the series, both films are notable enough. Kitfoxxe (talk) 21:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One film hasn't even been released yet, it's still in production. Technically there's no policy saying every film with an unreleased sequel shouldn't have it's own series article, but I'd really hope it's somewhat common sense.--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - 2 films does not "film series" make. A series would indicate more than just 2 films. After that, we have an issue with the title of the page. "2009 film series" indicates that the "series" all happens within 2009. That is not the case here. Given that this is an inaccurate title and there "will be" only 2 films in this "series", there is no need for this page. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this should be deleted, but article title is correct as per WP:NCF. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No need for a series article when the "series" consists of only 2 films (really only 1, as the sequel is still in production). Absolutely nothing to say that isn't said better in the film articles. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:59, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete Classic jumping the gun, two films is a duet not a series. WP:CRYSTAL may be applicable here as well.The Resident Anthropologist (Talk / contribs) 22:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It made hundreds of millions of dollars profit, so we can expect many sequels. No sense deleting something now only to have it recreated later on. And there is no rule against how many films are necessary to call it a series. We have an article on Sherlock Holmes (1939 film series) so I suppose mentioning the year the first film came out is the thing to do. Dream Focus 23:45, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 1939 series has 14 released films all part of one series. This has one released film and one in production. We can't just "expect" more sequels, as per WP:CRYSTALBALL.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:34, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Secondly, it's not Superman (1978 film series), or Friday the 13th (1980 film franchise). As for no defined number for a "series"...maybe not on Wikipedia but that doesn't mean that we treat 2 films like they are part of a series of films. There are two of them. Not a series of them. In most common practice, a "series" is going to be 3 or more. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:24, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The dictionary defines series [12] as "1a. a number of things or events of the same class coming one after another in spatial or temporal succession b: a set of regularly presented television programs each of which is complete in itself" I don't see any definition saying it has to be three. Two would meet the requirements. Dream Focus 22:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Swear to heaven, it's seeing votes like this that leads me to wonder whether certain members of the alleged "rescue squadron" just routinely vote Keep in bad faith because they don't have the support to abolish WP:Deletion policy outright. For pity's sake ... WP:CRYSTAL is a content policy. It is not optional. It's been part of the rules of the road of this encyclopedia for most of its history. WP:V is a core content policy. It is, in like fashion, not optional, and has been part of the rules of the road of this encyclopedia for all of its history. (I presume folks didn't miss that there aren't any sources suggesting a full-blown series, and that there might be is pure unsupported speculation on the Keep voters' part.) None of this is news. Delete. Ravenswing 18:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you see any Rescue tag on this article? Do you see anyone from the ARS other than me here? They have one movie made and are making the next one. See the definition of "series" above. Dream Focus 22:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete makes sense to delete this as Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. See WP:CRYSTAL. Creating this type of article prematurely tends to attract rumors or filler content. Better off re-creating this article when there is something reliable and substantial to say. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Two films in a series does not warrant an article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since two films (especially with the second still unreleased) is not enough for a film series article. Three released films, I think, is a reasonable threshold since it can truly aggregate figures like box office revenue or critics' scores. Erik (talk | contribs) 01:42, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MUSIC: "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." Also, the existing information on the article is poorly referenced, and either already exists in the band's article or is hardly significant. --194.150.65.61 (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Restore redirect. Not sure why AfD is needed, since the redirect is clearly appropriate and consistent with previous consensus. Rlendog (talk) 18:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so too, but Mifter insisted than an AfD is necessary, so. :/ --194.150.65.30 (talk) 23:15, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was unaware of the old Afd, so when the article was redirected, I said that it was an established article and that it should thus go through AfD ;). Best, Mifter (talk) 00:32, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Porphyrophobia

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

Is purple a special color that makes this phobia deserve a special article?? Any list of color phobias in general?? What is, for example, a phobia for the color green?? Georgia guy (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - before edit conflict I was about to PROD it as "Only a dictionary definition". One ref is a dicdef in a list; the other is a spoof? item on a blog. PamD (talk) 19:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no sources, its not a spoof but rather an excerpt from a self help site where you choose your phobia and then its gets slotted into a stock article a la 'Happy Birthday (Enter name here)'. Clearly not a source. Bob House 884 (talk) 19:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - This is a legitimate medical disorder as documented here. Whether or not other colors have similar phobia-related disorders is not relevant. There may or may not be something "special" about the color purple, but the fact is that Porphyrophobia is a mental disorder-- if other colors also have phobias, then they should have articles too. --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 23:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can anything be said about this specific color phobia other than "X is Y?" though? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HominidMachinae (talk • contribs) 00:30, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not, but that is not a cause for deletion. A stub is a stub, and should not be penalized for being one. --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 00:46, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thats not a reliable source, nor is it a new source, its just a reprint of the same list of phobias on some of the other non-sources. Unless theres actual evidence that somebody has actually suffered from it, the only thing this article can be is a definition, and definitions go in dictionaries. Bob House 884 (talk) 02:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It is not a legitimate medical disorder. It is not listed in the DSM-IV, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, which "covers all mental health disorders for both children and adults", nor is it a historical disorder. The sources cited are not reliable sources for mental disorders, nor is the one listed above by Ashershow1. Porphyrophobia is a "nice" sounding phobia from the Greek root πορφύρα (porphura), See Purple#Etymology and definitions, but there are lots of these made-up phobias. --Bejnar (talk) 00:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article should be deleted on several grounds. First, it is simple a dictionary definition. It's nice to know what the word means, but the article does nothing to describe the phobia's characteristics. Second, this may well be a hoax. There are several websites that seem to treat it as a joke. The only legitimate reference I can find is that of track second track named "Porphyrophobia" on some obscure album. Another reference to word can be found on this website ^[1]. But this site is for a "phobia treatment expert" who claims to be able to cure any type of phobia. Rotmo (talk) 04:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Yes, it's more than just purple. Since the wearers of purple are considered to be royalty in many cultures. There must be some decent references out there even if they are hidden under rocks. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 07:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That might make purple notable but not Porphyrophobia Bob House 884 (talk) 13:33, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are -phobias for almost everything (except perhaps synchronised swimming). Most of them are rather 'made up', and I wouldn't really trust a site offering (in the commercial sense) hypnotherapy not to give as long a list as they could. (Not knocking them for it - business is business - but it's not necessarily highly reliable.) If this article (which almost gives new meaning to 'stub') actually told us something about it it might be of use here. As it is, there seems to be no entry on Wiktionary (the English version - there is a red-linked mention in a list at the Russian version), and possibly it could be transwikied if they want it there. Peridon (talk) 14:01, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly non-notable. If there were a single reference in a journal of psychiatry to a case study of a person who had actually been diagnosed with an irrational response to things purple, then that would be one thing. However, the only references are on word lists. It's kind of like, "There are no cases we're aware of where someone is afraid of ______, but if there were, then we would call it ____phobia." The lone sentence gets it a mention on list of phobias. Mandsford 21:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the complete Oxford English Dictionary doesn't recognise the word Porphyrophobia. PamD (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm afraid it isn't here, because the author may well have lifted this from another of those lists. Many phobias are made up as jokes and somehow find their way onto lists of phobias. I've seen arachibutyrophobia on several such lists, claiming it's a fear of peanut butter sticking to one's mouth. However, it links here to a list of fake phobias. Without being in the Oxford English Dictionary nor the DSM-IV, I'm extremely skeptical. Kansan (talk) 03:01, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All "-phobia" stubs need the searchlight of notability applied to them. JFW | T@lk 06:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New England Summer Nationals

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

Fails WP:GNG. There is some routine coverage in local papers, but no significant coverage of the event in third part sources. The shows site [13] claims as many as 75,000 attendees in the past, but this is not corroborated by any independent sources. Dbratland (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I made this article a long time ago before i understood alot of wikis policies, and it is admittedly a horrible article, but there are plenty of reliable sources out there such as [14], [15], and [16], which i all found after only a few minutes of looking. The Summer Nationals are one of, if not the largest yearly event in Worcester, the second or third largest city in New England depending on the census numbers you use. This alone should have it passing notability guidelines. Over the next few days i will attempt to fix up and expand the article with reliable sources.--Found5dollar (talk) 05:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. The article needs to be improved upon and expanded, not deleted. From The Worcester Telegram: "Donna McCabe, president of the Central Massachusetts-Worcester County Convention & Visitors Bureau, said she expects the show to draw about 100,000 visitors. Organizers said about 2,000 attended the first event two decades ago and, in peak years, about 200,000 have participated."[17] The event also appears to attract people from outside of Worcester and Massachusetts. A Google search for the term brings up over 66,000 results, which is significant for a relatively local event. It is, apparently, the largest automotive event on the East Coast.[18] DVDs of the event are for sale on Amazon.[19] Fan-made videos exist on YouTube.[20] It is by no reasonable measure non-notable. --TimothyDexter (talk) 21:00, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid such a section would have the same sourcing issues as the article. Move crud around, it's still crud. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is full of speculation and is non-encyclopedic. Besides, even if it were a decent article it should have been named "iPhone 5" rather than "Upcoming iPhone 5"; upcoming is temporary, and Wikipedia is not a news website. PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 03:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The peculiar name is because I protected iPhone 5 as a redirect a long time ago. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 03:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mondo Condo

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

This appears to be a WP:COAT article kicking around since 2006, to promote the concerns of a group of disgruntled union members who call themselves the Members for Democracy and refer to the financial misfortune or misdealings of this nondescript Travelodge "a financial scandal that has been called "the Enron of Canada." -- both wildly inflated, it seems to me. I can't find any WP:RS. Their website points to a series of articles in the Toronto Star, but I can't determine what they may have been in fact about. The article's name is grossly biased as well, as the place is actually called -- by anyone not in the in-universe world of the Members of Democracy -- the Travelodge Yorkdale Hotel. I can't find any WP:RS indicating notability for that either. Am I missing something? If kept, I'd suggest the article must be renamed. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:36, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see here that a great deal of material was removed by an editor last summer on the basis that it was "potential libelous." I can't tell if it's libelous or not, but what I do see is a convoluted attempt to piece together legal and business records to attempt some sort of attack. And again, it does not seem to come together as something that would make this Travelodge notable by our definition of the term. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the idea of actually describing in this Wikipedia article the alleged scandal associated with this building does not appear to have been a priority. (See WP:AUDIENCE.) In any event, it appears that the proper title for this article would be Westmount Condominiums.

~~Merge~~ Weak Keep Should take Zeitgeist: Addendum combine it with Zeitgeist: Moving Forward and either merge into Zeitgeist: The Movie to cover all three Zeitgeists or into The Venus Project perhaps as a discussion of the efforts to promote the project.

Since the 2009 deletion, quite a bit of coverage became available in reliable sources that are not blogs... in such WP:RS as Chicago Sun-Times, National Business Review, Times of India, Tagesspiegel, RTV Slovenija, TA3, Trouw, Cotidianul, Jakarta Post, The New York Times, Trikalanews, Resource Investor, Económico, and quite literally dozens more.

Keep - There are several references on Google, 4074 user ratings on IMDb and even a few mentionings on Google Books which is quite good for a fairly new movie. If there is a problem with reliable sources then tag the article accordingly and/or WP:SOFIXIT. Why merge this one when most films have their own articles?

Keep User:Nyttend was absolutely correct to refuse a speedy, and just as the G4 speedy did not apply, the world has continued to move on since the original article's deletion in February of 2009. And, since that deletion, the film has recived a great deal of additional coverage in unquestionably reliable sources to show an independent notability and its meeting of WP:NF to merit a seperate artcle as a seperate film. A search for post-February 2009 articles finds wide reaching coverage in such as Chicago Sun-Times, National Business Review, Times of India, Tagesspiegel, RTV Slovenija, TA3, Trouw, Cotidianul, Jakarta Post, The New York Times, Trikalanews, Resource Investor, Económico, and quite literally dozens more[21] ...sources that did not exist at the time of last deletion. We do not need to agree to the subject matter, as our inclusion threshold is verifiability, not truth... and independent notability is independent notability. Or will we be the next such AFD suggest that Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4 etal should all be merged and redirected to Rocky 1? Yes, these easily found sources should be added to the article, but as they do exist, independent notability is established. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:15, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of garage rock bands

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

This is a list of garage bands that is just that - a list of bands. There are no requirements for those on the list to meet the GNG, or even a set of list specific guidelines, as such it has become a list based on OR and is somewhat of a an indiscriminate collection of information. As it is right now I am reminded that Wikipedia is not a collection of links, even internal ones.

As there appears to be some confusion as to why this is here ("No real reason for deletion given, 'messy' doesn't count", "didn't read WP:BEFORE", doesn't know how to make AFD noms, etc): The blue links in my nom are hyperlinks that, if clicked, go to related policy and guidelines. This is a policy based nom. I had presumed that was obvious and those would be followed. In that case, and to be clear, I am going to explicitly cite the reasons it was sent here:

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing.
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is neither a mirror nor a repository of links, images, or media files *including* collections of external links and collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with article organization and navigation; for these, please follow the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Lead and selection criteria.
Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists: Lists should begin with a lead section that summarizes any necessary background information, provides encyclopedic context, links to other relevant articles, and makes direct statements about the criteria by which members of the list were selected. This section, not the page's name, defines the subject of the list. Ideally, the selection criteria will be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources.
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (stand-alone lists): Stand-alone lists are Wikipedia articles; thus, they are equally subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research and neutral point of view.
Wikipedia:No original research: Wikipedia does not publish original research.
Talk:List of garage rock bands: January 29, 2008 - ive got a feeling this is just going to turn into a massive list a wikipedians bands
Talk:List of garage rock bands: January 29, 2008 - As much as I hate these kinds of list pages, I don't think they're going to disappear anytime soon. I think we just need to be vigilant about the redlinks and maybe trim down the "revival" list.

Today is March 26, 2011. I do not see where the list has become anything more than what it was suggested it would become, and more. I hope that will make it more clear. Soundvisions1 (talk) 14:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1 and 2 do not apply here. 3 is easily fixed. 4 is correct, and is already covered by the 'unreferenced' tag at the top of the article. I agree that entries should be sourced where they may be contentious, and am in the process of putting that into practice with a similar list for another genre. 5 will be covered when 4 is dealt with, although it's worth pointing out that original research doesn't mean anything that isn't sourced. 6 and 7 are editors' opinions, not policies or guidelines. There is no policy or guideline that indicates that a list such as this should not exist.--Michig (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you might want to take that up on the related policy page and explain why you feel Wikipedia *is* a "vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing" and should be a "repository of links" where editors can simply add links to their favorite bands. Maybe when you do that you can also try to have the wording "for these, please follow the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Lead and selection criteria" removed as it does "not apply here", ("here" being any deletion discussions about a list where editors add links, including "propaganda, advertising and showcasing" and "external" ones, for their their favorite bands). And of course "6 and 7 are editors' opinions" - or are you saying editors opinion are also not valid? Soundvisions1 (talk) 20:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You described the above as "hyperlinks that, if clicked, go to related policy and guidelines" - I simply pointed out that the last two were not in this category, and carry nos such weight - what is your problem with that? The rest of your rant is a lazy and obvious misrepresentation of my comments. --Michig (talk) 20:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Its a pretty clear fallacy to suggest that since User:Michig disagrees with your interpretation of policy of what Wikipedia is not they are in any way suggesting that Wikipedia IS all of those things Bob House 884 (talk) 20:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty clear fallacy to suggest that since User:Michig clearly states that Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not does not apply to a deletion discussion of content that is explicitly in that policy as a "not" than, indeed, they are seen as suggesting that they feel Wikipedia *should* all of those things. Soundvisions1 (talk) 21:24, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When they said '1 and 2 do not apply here' I have a feeling this was meant to mean that your first and second objections were not relevant or not properly founded, nobody is suggesting that deletion policy in general doesnt apply. Incidently I think you may have missed my point about the black or white dilemna. I'm going to cool off this point now anyway since its clearly not going anywhere, I'd suggest you do the same. Bob House 884 (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's a list, and there's nothing wrong with lists. All such lists require the bands listed to be notable. It may need cleaning up and some criteria spelling out at the top, but there's no reason whatsoever to delete it.--Michig (talk) 14:58, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Never said there was anything wrong with lists. So as long as you are stepping forward to redo *this* list article and bring it up to policy and guideline specs I have no issues with withdrawing the nom. Soundvisions1 (talk) 15:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AFD is not for cleanup. As WP:BEFORE states: "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD." Since you appear to be happy for the list to stay if fixed through normal editing, this AFD is only going to have one outcome. --Michig (talk) 16:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Sorry I mistook your "keep" as saying you were willing to take responsibility for improving the articles you gaily vote to keep. As you point out this is not a venue for discussion of article clean up, than I stand behind what my nom says. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, no valid reasons for deletion set forth. Obviously Wikipedia has lots of lists on all subjects, including bands, and these are well-supported by consensus, so saying this is just "a list of bands" doesn't accomplish anything other than a banal description. General practice with lists of this kind is to exclude non-notable entries, even though this is not typically stated in the article title (though see List of notable Puerto Ricans), and this is not considered difficult to maintain: "Does this entry merit an article: yes or no?" So the complaint that "there are no requirements for those on the list to meet the GNG" is simply incorrect, and to the extent the list does contain non-notable entries, those can simply be removed. As for the lack of references, as garage rock is a recognized genre, and there are presumably reliable sources calling this or that band an example of that genre, that's completely fixable, and even where sources may disagree on genre, the list can be annotated to note that. The nom should read WP:BEFORE before starting another AFD. postdlf (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No real reason for deletion given, 'messy' doesn't count. Also whilst a statement of intent to help fix an article might add weight to a 'Keep' vote, users are completely free to vote keep without having to adopt the article. Bob House 884 (talk) 18:48, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 100% unsourced and apparently gonna stay that way. Pretty much this is vintage "who cares if it's true" Wikipedia, with the content derived entirely from people saying, "The Kinks was a garage rock band, The Kingsmen was too, I think Strawberry Alarm Clock was, don't forget Paul Revere and the Raiders, yadda yadda yadda". The very first rule of an encyclopedia is WP:V, it has to be verifiable. We've come a long way from the "take my word for it" days. I get the feeling from the comments above that there's no incentive for improving it, simply because garage rock is such a great topic. Thing is though, we've got a page for that topic, and it's called Garage rock, and it lists bands as part of its narrative. What sets that article apart from this piece of nonsense is that it has stuff like, you know, proof. Mandsford 19:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is verifiable. There are more several books dedicated to garage rock which can be used to verify entries in this list, in addition to web resources. Any entries that cannot be verified can be removed - it doesn't require the entire list to be deleted.--Michig (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm confused by your contradictory claims, within the same comment, that the list is both unverifiable and verifiable. You acknowledge that there is "proof" in the garage rock article, but only in the part of your comment where you try to use the existence of that prose article to justify deleting this one. Obviously the format of prose vs. list does not change whether it's verifiable, and any sources in that parent prose article can be incorporated into this list, as I have begun doing. postdlf (talk) 19:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep - Keep the article but include a provision that only bands with independent WP entries can be added. That way we can at least make sure that not every high school kid with a guitar is adding his name to this list. Essentially, remove all red links. --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 23:43, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I just removed all of the redlinked bands on the presumption that they are nonnotable. Though red links in a list are not in and of themselves bad as long as the linked topic merits an article, even though one hasn't been started yet. Red links can thus aid in article creation by identifying missing article topics. But, on the other hand, a list of this kind, of a subject of this kind, is prone to nonnotable additions. So there it is. postdlf (talk) 21:45, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - FWIW, although I've heard of most of the bands that have articles, I haven't heard of any of those that you removed, so it seems perfectly reasonable that they should go, in the absence of any evidence that they belong here.--Michig (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep over 100 games at the top flight of Irish football and a winners medal at the European U-19 makes him notable. MLA (talk) 15:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Few WP:ATH policies are more totally screwed up than WP:FOOTBALL. Because of the ridiculous "fully professional league" focus, it includes players from extremely minor American professional leagues, and excludes those from those nations where the top league isn't fully pro. Here's the list of those leagues [23]-- if you're Irish, Welsh, New Zealander, Chilean, or another of the WikiProject's pariah states, the message is "get lost, we don't want your kind". On the other hand, if you played one game in USL Second Division for the Albuquerque Geckos, it's "Oh, a superstar, can I have your autograph?". Silly in the extreme, it includes many minor players and bars many major ones. I think that Donnelly would probably be notable, except that he made the mistake of staying in Ireland. Mandsford 19:46, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'd second that. Teams from the 10th level of English football (that's 6 below the professional leagues) as well as some from even further down the chain are apparently notable yet players from the top league of Ireland don't qualify as notable according to this bizarre approach. Glad to see Mandsford take a stand. MLA (talk) 21:45, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment but players aren't notable for playing in the 10th tier. They would have played at a fully-professional level and dropped down the leagues. Otherwise, I'd advise nominating them for deletion. --Jimbo^[online] 22:01, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Except he didn't stay in Ireland. He was at the English professional club Leeds United as a youngster, but failed to break into the first team there. The reality is that any Irish player of a reasonable standard moves to England at some point in their career. I would also like to know who these "major" players are who are not covered by the WP:NSPORTS criteria. If anything, they are too lax. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Just because a guideline is silly (and I completely disagree with that interpretation of NSPORT) in no way invalidates the guideline. NSPORT was established by a thorough consensus and I see no reason to go against it. Not having played in a fully professional league, this player fails NSPORT, and from what I can tell, he does not meet WP:GNG either. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:08, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, NSPORT isn't silly, just parts of it. The idea of automatic inclusion of particular players makes sense, in that many of the people who qualify have been consistently recognized in encyclopedias on the sports that they play in. For the most part, the fans know the difference between big league competition and bush league. Even WP:NHOCKEY, which throws in some players from the minor AHL, has a rationale for doing it, having a 100 game threshhold, and taking into account that the NHL had only six teams for many years. The policy created by the soccer fans, on the other hand, is "in a league of its own". I think the big problem is that a list of fully professional leagues, made as a helpful guide, has been seriously misunderstood as a directive to bar players from the leagues of certain nations, and to include lesser level players of other nations. I think it's New Zealand where the national league is 93% professional, but not fully professional, buh-bye. I don't expect any single individual to know the relative level of competition of all of the leagues in the world, or the salary structure; and the soccer fans don't have the benefit of what would be a large player register, like we have for baseball and American football and such. But to me, the measure of a league or a division would be how many players it sends to its country's national team. I'm sure that the soccer policy will catch up to those of other sports, one of these days. Mandsford 21:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That suggestion wouldn't work. The majority of the Faroe Islands national football team players are drawn from the Faroese league, but nobody would seriously claim that playing in the Faroese league makes a player notable. It is also worth noting that WP:NHOCKEY allows all players from the fully professional leagues in other countries (Russia, Finland, Sweden), which is in line with the football policy. The 100 game requirement only applies to the relatively minor leagues (North American minor leagues or the Swedish second division). There is no such clear distinction in football between minor and major league. For example, the second tier of English football (Football League Championship) ranks ninth in total attendance in all sports in the whole world, ahead of the top divisions in France and Italy. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:41, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But let's look at the other end of the extreme examples. You chose one extreme, the Faeroe Islands, which don't even have 50,000 people, to illustrate your point. Going the other way, does it make sense to apply that same reasoning to the Republic of Ireland, with more than 4,000,000? And when you throw in Northern Ireland, more than 6 million? Or to New Zealand, with 4.4 million? Clearly, the soccer policy isn't going to change, because there are too many in that particular project who think it's just fine. My suggestion wouldn't work, but I have a feeling that nobody else's suggestion would work either. Still, this isn't a discussion on changing that policy. For Mr. Donnelly, I'll simply say to people, look at the article about the League of Ireland and decide for yourselves whether it's semi-pro, or whether Donnelly's 100 games there weren't as a fully professional player. Mandsford 14:41, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Connecticut Film Organization

This was tagged for speedy deletion back in July 2009, which was declined because of an apparent claim to Oscar & Golden Globe nominations. In fact the article only claims these nominations for Connecticut, not the organisation itself. There is nothing in the article to suggest notability, most of the article is not even about the company. I can find no significant coverage of the organisation in reliable sources at all.

Delete. As the nom indicates, the article claims Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the state of Connecticut, not for this particular production company. (Since those awards are not actually awarded by state, I assume the article means that productions filmed in the state received those nominations, but no source is provided to indicate that these nominations were received anyway.) The sources provided do not support notability of this company. The Newenglandfilm.com, TVWeek.com, and Variety.com sources are all about film and television production in Connecticut in general and don't mention this company. The source from Thestreet.com doesn't mention this company. And the Foxreality.com source is a broken link. Hence, there are effectively no sources. Also, I found no hits for this organization's name on Google News. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article was deleted in May 2008 for lack of notability. This version has existed since 2009 and I can't see anything that has been added that suggests he meets notability guidelines. There is mention of a "min" award, but it's really not clear whether or not that is what we would consider a significant award. It's also not clear from the reference whether or not Swanhaus was awarded this himself, as neither he nor Swanhaus Media, nor Interns are explicitly mentioned on that page. I can't find any significant coverage of him in reliable sources, just a few trivial mentions, and significant coverage in social network/promotional sites.

Speedy delete per WP:BLP, WP:BLPPRIMARY. Misuse of primary sources in a BLP that presents the individual in a false negative light while secondary sources (here one [24] [25]) show that he is an innocent man that help the US and Hamid Karzai fight terrorists. In addition delete per general notability guideline as there is only one reliable secondary source that writes about him. IQinn (talk) 11:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and edit to stub - Subject is notable, even with limited news coverage containing his name; reference 8 has his name and date of release. However, the use of primary sources in this fashion, although seemingly just a laying out of the facts, makes the bulk of the info POV, in that it is told, through these documents, from the US government's point of view. It is therefore not surprising, for instance, that there is no document stating clearly how Sharifullah was treated during the 6 years he was illegally (according to international law that the US has previously aggreed to) held, nor is it surprising not to find a news story about it. How could someone write a full ariticle when the information is classified? On the other hand, basic information about his arrest and release, with a more neutral context could present a solid stub. How are other prisoners of the camp being treated on Wikipedia, is there a project working on this? I'm going to take a few minutes right now to look for other solid secondary sources. If I find them, I'll add them, and comment here. Nihola (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources.

• Afghans Abdul Hafiz, Sharifullah, Mohamed Rahim and Mohammed Hashim.")
2. http://humanrights.fhi.duke.edu/guantanamo-bay-beyond-the-laws-reach – this is not a neutral secondary source. The page states: "The event will raise funds for Sharifullah’s and other detainees’ defense."
3. http://www.zcommunications.org/who-are-the-four-afghans-released-from-guantanamo-by-andy-worthington – this article is not a neutral source. The article states: "For now, however, I’d like to turn to the four Afghans transferred to the custody of the Afghan government, because, in contrast to the fearmongering of opportunistic Republicans, who continue to claim that Guantánamo is full of terrorists, the stories of these four men demonstrate instead the incompetence of senior officials in the Bush administration ..."

Comment 1/ Philosophy journals have been around for much longer than since 1945. In any case, having been around for a long time is not one of the criteria for notability. If it has been around for so long and it has some notability, then sources should be available. Their absence is telling. 2/ The "sources" that have been added to the article are trivial. None of the listings given is a selective and notable database/indexing service. 3/ As for the Google hits, first of all, number of GHits is irrelevant for establishing notability. Second, there are not 1900 hits: searching for "Informacion Filosofica" I get 492 results. Many of those do not refer to this journal (the title means "philosophical information", so is bound to be used in other contexts as well). Indeed, one of the "sources" added to the article was about another journal (Pensiamento: Revista de investigación e Información filosófica; note that the previously mentioned Google search results will include this journal, too). None of the usual requirements for establishing notability have been met yet, as far as I can see. Given the paltry Google search results, I doubt this will be possible. --Crusio (talk) 10:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS: the "1945" is incorrect. The bibliographic info in the reference given indicates that this is about Pensiamento (see above). In fact, the home page of Información Filosófica lists only 14 issues, the first one published in 2005. --Crusio (talk) 10:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No additional info has been forthcoming from creating editor, not even reference to notability of any authors or articles. Crusio says the "1945 "info is incorrect. There is an inherent problem with foreign language sources, especially if the inserting editor does not provide clear tranlation for information in sources for verification.

Ray Jay (director)

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

Promotional possible-autobiographical article about a filmmaker of questionable notability. No significant claims of notability (a short film in a festival, but no awards), no signifcant coverage in independent publications. Since "Ray Jay" is a very common term (over 2 million returns, most not about the subject) a Google search on his actual name ("Rehan Jainulabdeen") only shows 32 returns.

I believe that this young filmmaker deserves a spot here. this article will help Wiki readers from around the world know more about struggling filmmakers from poor country's.

Delete, not because the films aren't interesting but because neither of the relevant policies WP:GNG nor WP:FILMMAKER is met. As the article does not make a claim of notability under any of the sections of WP:FILMMAKER, the real question is GNG. The sources in the article do not contribute towards the sourcing requirements of the GNG for the following reasons:
- "R13 Studios Website". WP:PRIMARY
- "Grindout Productions Ltd. Website". WP:PRIMARY
- "Hope - Short Film" WP:PRIMARY
- "South Seas Film & Television School Graduate Employment List". Link doesn't work. When the link is corrected to a link that does work, it is possible with some effort to find an entry which is likely the person that's intended [26], which certainly verifies some information but doesn't do anything to my mind to establish notability.
- "Med TVNew Zealand's original waiting room channel". Does not mention the subject of the article.
- "CHASE - The Showdown Begins". WP:PRIMARY
- ""Train To Kandy" Exported out of the timeline". WP:PRIMARY
- "Please Let Me Sleep on IMDB". WP:PRIMARY

I have made an effort to look for reliable, secondary sources to establish the notability of this filmmaker under the general notability guideline, and haven't had much success. The commonness of the subject's name does make searching more difficult, and it is certainly possible that I've missed other sources, so if reliable, secondary sources providing significant coverage of this artist are presented, or if I've misclassified one or more sources here, I'll be certainly glad to consider a change of mind. --j⚛e decker ^{talk to me} 19:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- "South Seas Film & Television School Graduate Employment List". Link works now.
- "Med TVNew Zealand's original waiting room channel". Does not mention the subject of the article-(because the subject does not work there anymore and the that company has removed all employed bio out Since 2008. Search 'Rehan Jainulabdeen MedTV" on Google and you will see the actual Medtv website appear but because the page was removed you cant see the page. If thats not sufficient, the south Seas Film and Television school link conforms that he was employed at Medtv.

He is known for his work in Sri Lanka but 98% of the local news papers do not have the articles published online until very recently . even then its only about 2%. Even the Television stations in Sri Lanka has just started making content available online.

Its up to you guys to do what you want.

Comment Reena--Thank you for fixing the links! Unfortunately, that doesn't still leave us with a source that yet goes toward meeting the general notability guideline. Here's something that may help: One of the things that I should add is that it's entirely okay to source newspaper or magazine coverage from Sri Lanka, even if the article isn't on the internet, so long as the article really provides in-depth coverage of the individual. So if a reputable Sri Lankan newspaper (as an example) did a profile article on Ray Jay, that would be pretty significant. If a couple newspapers did (not republishing the same article, but different looks at the filmmaker in different years from different authors, say) that would be even more compelling. You'd want to make sure you included the newspaper name, author, publication date, article title, maybe a page number, so that other people who might have access to that newspaper could verify the information, but we do make use of off-line and non-English resources at times. It's also helpful in such cases to include a small quote from the article (a sentence or so that echoes without copying directly what's in the article), and a note as to what language the quote is in if the newspaper is not written in English. Hope this helps! --j⚛e decker ^{talk to me} 21:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The announced timeline for the Television interview are in two weeks. This is really an insult to this filmmaker and other filmmakers from Third World Countries.

Delete. While I wouldn't want to delete an article about a major filmmaker from Sri Lanka just because his films were not known in the United States, this article has not clearly established that this person is a major filmmaker. It is difficult for a filmmaker from any country to attain notability just by making short films, and apparently the only feature that Ray Jay has completed so far, Chase, is sourced only to a 30-second trailer on the IMDb web site. There is no indication that Chase has been theatrically released in Sri Lanka or elsewhere. As Joe Decker indicates above, most of the sources that have been provided so far are primary sources (his own companies' web sites, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) which are not independent sources to establish his notability. If Ray Jay is going to receive mainstream newspaper and television coverage in the future, that means that an article about him can be re-created in the future. Consensus can change; the more Ray Jay accomplishes as a filmmaker and the more he gets media coverage, the more likely it is that a Wikipedia article about him can be accepted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a "real group" doesn't make them suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia (see WP:EXISTENCE), nor does their association with notable people (WP:INHERITED), but if you can find sources on the group, that could prove that they are notable. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I favor the lowest of all possible bars for the inclusion of coverage of political parties and their youth sections in Wikipedia without regard to their ideology. Libertarians for Life is an organized pressure group within the Libertarian Party and has been engaged for about 35 years. The group has been responsible for editing a special issue of the International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy. The Ron Paul movement looms large in American politics and, contrary to an argument made above, there is as case to be made awarding "bonus notability points" for a group's connection to an influential and historically noteworthy individual such as that Texas obstetrician. This is the sort of information that students will seek in the course of their research and it makes no sense to apply a stringent interpretation of notability guidelines in this specific case. Admittedly, sourcing leaves something to be desired; however, a cursory google search for the specific phrase "Libertarians for Life" returns a rather staggering 137,000 responses, indicating that this organization has more than coffee klatch status... Flag for better sources if you must, but deletion strikes me as ill advised and altogether draconian given the historical significance of the organization, its potential interest to Wikipedia users, and the fair quality of the page in question. Carrite (talk) 18:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help find sources on them, then? You cite their historical significance, but this is not attested by any sources (note also WP:GHITS and that these hits are almost entirely from blogs and anti-abortion sites, rather than reliable sources).

I already said that I "couldn't find any better sources by searching," so your helpful suggestion of "search" is a bit useless. These are trivial mentions that do not satisfy WP:ORG (ie. mentioning the group in a big list of "pro-life" organizations). If there is a specific source that you have found, could you link it? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, mostly along the lines of Carrite's reasoning. There is sufficient coverage out there about this group to show notability, putting it beyond the vanity-political-party articles which get sent to AfD sometimes.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 19:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I was also familiar with these guys back in the 80s and my own feeling is that they are notable. However, my own google news search only shows trivial mentions (ie mentions of various "Foo For Life" type organizations) so I won't bold anything. If there's coverage then it's going to be in offline archives of dead tree publications. I also suspect that may they have coverage in various college newspapers. I was also asked to comment on the non-admin closure attempt. When I started doing NACs back in 2008 I probably would have punched this "keep" but in my more experienced days I probably would have left this for an admin to close. However, in this case, Alpha-quadrant's close should not have been reverted by the nominator. (or any other involved party) The proper thing to do is to first ask the closer to revert his own close and/or ask a neutral admin to review the close.--Ron Ritzman (talk) 03:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like a flamebait, or at least a flamewar magnet. It seems to have been created a while ago by a single-purpose account. Without a single reference, it's completely untenable. I looked around other translations and saw links to:
- a reprint of an article - V. Jerlagić, Ideja “velike Bosne” nikada nije zaživjela (The idea of "greater Bosnia" never took off), Avaz, 2007?
- a book - Tomislav Bogavac, Nestajanje Srba (The disappearing of the Serbs), Niš, 1994.
- a book - Gavril Zanetov, Западни български земи и Сърбия (Western Bulgarian lands and Serbia) История и етнография, 1917. [28]
None of these seem like particularly reliable sources to support the actual existence of the idea, or at least I don't see the notability. Certainly seems more like yet another fringe theory given undue weight with a standalone article. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:50, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand . These are 3 different situations that should have been nominated separately if nominated at all. . Environmental issues with shipping is a sketch for a more comprehensive article than the present Ship pollution. They should be merged, and the title environmental issues with shipping' is the better title. "Ship pollution" can equally well mean the pollution of ships as the pollution by ships. Ballast water and the Environment is a considerable expansion of the relevant section of the present article on Ship pollution, including a section of examples by country that can be when developed much too large to fit into the general article. Cruise ship pollution is again a considerable expansion of the present general article. I commend the effort to develop this topic, which can and should be the subject of a number of more specific articles; what is mainly needed is further expansion, not deletion. DGG ( talk ) 03:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Nomination fork. "Env issues" is obviously the least developed of them, and it was not appropriate to nominate two other obviously better articles with this one as an example. Agree with merge for the main nomination, but not with the names; we have a rare chance here to get away from the rubberstamped WP name format, let's take it. Another term I would take every possible rare opportunity to avoid would be 'environment', which, as I understand it, is a synonym for the specific term 'habitat', and is used in an erroneously broad sense meaning all ecosystems; Ecological is almost always the better term, if there is a chance to use it.

Shenyi Center of Chinese Medicine

Shenyi Center of Chinese Medicine appears to be an advert with no RS to support its existence as notable, yet it has been up as a one sentence article for three years, with only its own web page advertisement as a “source”. Its creator has made no contributions to Wikipedia except to create this advertisement[31]. An anonymous editor appears to be furthering this advert by posting a link attached to the completely unrelated “bear’s bile” paragraph, in the completely unrelated “endangered species” section of Traditional Chinese Medicine here[32], and again here[33], ignoring WP:UNDUE and WP:ADVERT (and the fact that it has nothing to do with the paragraph or section it was inserted in. This appears to have been done in order to create the appearance of not being an orphan, as explained in the edit summary here[34].

Comment. There are two issues here. The first is the notability of the subject, which would be satisfied by a reference confirming the term in office. No problem there. The second, though, is the concern that the article is Autobiography. It's possible, and there is precedent (as I recall), that an article on an otherwise notable subject might be deleted if it is flawed beyond repair. Is the authorship sufficient to taint the article? I don't know. But deleting the article in order to make a fresh, neutral version might well be justified. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:47, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. These sources linked in the article confirm that the subject was a member of parliament. As said by Cullen328 any neutrality issues associated with this being an autobiography can be addressed by editing, and deleting the article and its history would hamper any efforts to improve it. Nowhere in WP:AUTO or in deletion policy does it say that being an autobiography is a reason in itself to delete an article, so I would advise bender235 to stop nominating articles for deletion with that rationale. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If an article were so riddled with Non-neutral COI shenanigans and Autobiographical self-promotion that removing problem content would leave nothing remaining, then deletion should absolutely be the option. But if its that bad, chances are it would qualify for speedy deletion as spam, which is not the case here. Quite the opposite, per below, I think your source is sufficient to keep.

The article does not unambiguously address the WP:ARTIST criteria. The stamp referred to was the result of his painting winning a competition with over 200 entries rather than a commission. The only mentions in GNews are of a couple of paintings being auctioned and the stamp, there appears to be nothing to demonstrate the types of significant impact defined by ARTIST.

- To clarify, I'm raising for AfD rather than prodding due to the stamp being potential evidence of notability and worth wider discussion. In this case, as he was not commissioned directly as a designer but was a competition winner, I could draw a parallel if the winning artwork had turned out to be created by a school child - they might win a prize and have their design on a stamp, this would not make them encyclopaedic-ally notable.

Glossu Rabban

Minor character in the Dune series and does not have significant coverage outside of the films and novels. Sadads (talk) 11:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Character was major enough to appear as a credited role in both movie adaptations of the award-winning novel, and some of the later, cheezy prequels. Note that "Beast Rabban" redirects here, and is the more usual name for the character. Multiple Google News entries, multiple non-fiction references at Google Books (the first page is mostly the primary fiction, hence me linking to the second page of results), and Google Scholar reveals a gem or two like this. Finally, there's no good cause for deletion, because a merger to somewhere else (e.g., House Harkonnen) is clearly preferable to a deletion under Wp:ATD.

Keep: The article may need work, but certainly all of the primary characters in 1965's Dune are notable!— TAnthony^Talk 22:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The fictional character does not appear to have notability by itself since it appears that there is no significant coverage in reliable third-party sources. Google hits, be it in the main search engine, in Google Books or in Google news, are trivial mentions, reviews about the plot of Dune or any of its adaptations or primary sources. No reliable secondary source treats the fictional character in detail so it does not meet the criteria of the general notability guideline. The article itself is a plot-only description of a fictional work, so, with no critical commentary or real-world notability, there is no reason to keep the article. Dune is notable, but notability is not inherited to every content fork related to it. Jfgslo (talk) 18:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a web browser extension for social networking, and it definitely exists. However, the article doesn't have sufficient independent references for notability - the TechCrunch review doesn't count toward notability, since it's just a one-time review - and the editor who declined the prod mostly made reference to sources that are just more trivial reviews.

Like I wrote in the edit summary[37] the extenstion has been covered by more than one reliable sources[38], that's Wikipedias threshold for notability (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). Please detail why this isn't notable ("that review doesn't count" and "this is trivial" is vague). In addition, according to the TechCrunch article it had 1 million installs in its first week.

AfDs for this article:

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

Fails to meet even the basic criteria established in WP:BIO. After looking at the sources, and the available information found on the web. I see no reason why this page should be kept. The only reliable source is the "Register" article talking about how he mismanaged OPN funds, the rest are just links to freenode.net, unreliable "chat news" sites (the citations to which I have removed), and a page that he himself wrote. In addition, this seems more like a memorial than anything else. A guy who has been dead for years will most likely not become notable in the future, either. LiteralKa (talk) 06:46, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale behind the second AfD is even more relevant than ever now:

WP does not have an article on the creator of DALnet, Dalvenjah, nor the original admin of EFnet, Greg Lindahl. Those networks have at times been much more popular (and are much more legendary in the IRC business) than Freenode. There is no reason to consider it as anything else. [...] It isn't notable enough to warrant anything other than an article about the network itself (which we have).

Sad to say, I find no citations for his death AT ALL, his death, even, is hardly notable.

I would also argue that the PDPC is not notable, but I will wait and see how this deletion discussion goes, first. LiteralKa (talk) 06:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Merge As best as I can tell, he is a very successful person who is "notable" in the general sense of the word but does not meet the technical requirements for notability here. He doesn't appear to have had articles written about him specifically, so I think the relevant information about him should be merged into the works that he has created.

  - it is actually in the archives of the discussion page... and no... they aren't right after they died. two were, and the last to were a year and around the next year. still doesn't change the situation, notability doesn't go away and you should have read the old one first and not even started this one. and one thing you really shouldn't do before an afd is to stip the article for content... it makes us question the purpose of the afd.--Buridan (talk)

Strong Keep I do NOT believe this is a legitimate CfD since the person issuing the call had eviscerated the article prior to deciding that it should be deleted. This kind of behavior should not be rewarded. RussNelson (talk) 04:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:CFD applies to categories, not articles. The page literally cited IRC logs and blogs about IRC. These were clearly not notable and needed to be removed. And there didn't need to be a section on the origin of his nickname, either. LiteralKa (talk) 12:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you that this behavior was unhelpful, but it doesn't automagically invalidate the policy-based arguments in the AfD rationale; just like we shouldn't reward LiteralKa, we should not keep a deletable article just to punish them. WP:ADHOM. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I apologize for removing citations to blog posts and an "IRC chat mag" as well as a section about the origin of his IRC nickname. LiteralKa (talk) 22:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - When police use unlawful means to get information, they are punished by having that information banned from the courtroom. Applying the same principle, this CfD should be immediately resolved in favor of Keep. If, at some time in the future, someone else (not LiteralKa) is inspired to delete this article, they can re-open a CfD. Perhaps you disagree? Then I think at a minimum, LiteralKa should be prohibited from arguing his case, since he tried to prejudice it by removing arguable citations. If there is no penalty for prejudicing a CfD, it will happen again, and again. --RussNelson (talk) 01:09, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - If you think someone is removing reliable sources from an article it is best to bring the matter up at the Reliable sources Noticeboard. It would be wise to review the page on Identifying reliable sources first though. Qrsdogg (talk) 01:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - The nominator does not really own an AfD, the closing admin makes a decision based on the entire input received. If a user is acting in a disruptive manner, this weighs heavily against them and may even get them blocked. But if an AfD discussion is grounded in the deletion policy, it continues. Had this process been entirely improper, an admin would have closed it already. The criteria for that is described at Wikipedia:Speedy keep. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article has been plagued by subjectivity since many years ago, and this discussion is following suit, sadly. AfD is not a vote and if everyone registers strong opinions that just looks silly. Anyway, the article is really short on quality sources. Significant coverage by secondary sources is very scant. IMO, Rob Levin's personal notability could derive from the basic fact of running OPN/freenode/PDPC for some time, but this may reasonably be contested as not particularly notable per se, not only because of the general notability guideline but because several other people held positions of similar importance/relevance in these organizations and aren't considered notable enough just because of it. However, again IMO, the actual source of his personal notability would be his running OPN/freenode/PDPC in a manner that attracted much negative attention in the community at the time. This should help the notability argument in general - he didn't just fulfill a role, he did it in a manner that was noticed. Yet, that could be contested as unverifiable because apparently we've lost (or never had) the reliable sources attesting to the variety of peculiar practices that made him stand out in a negative manner. Once the article is gutted of this information, it does look non-notable - a lot of people found charities and a lot of people operate IRC networks. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:02, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In the meantime I skimmed the previous AfDs, and found that none of them seemed to demonstrate much in the way of WP:RS for notability - it was mostly people offering personal opinions on notability, rather than demonstrating reliable sources for it. This looks like a good place to remind people of Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:12, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge With the unreliable citations gone, the article does not have much basis. I suggest full deletion, or possibly merging with the PDPC or Freenode articles. I think a delete would be best though, due to the limited number of citations. Harry (talk) 15:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They were never reliable. The page was deleted during the first AfD because of that. That's a logical fallacy: "because they were used for so long, they must be reliable". If this were a more well-known article, perhaps that would be true. But it isn't. LiteralKa (talk) 18:48, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Peer-Directed Projects Center. I can see a convincing argument that Rob Levin is not independently notable, but "non-notable" doesn't mean "delete". "Non-notable" means "shouldn't have his own article". And if we've decided he shouldn't have his own article, then it's very stupid to turn Rob Levin into a redlink that encourages an inexperienced editor to write one; and besides, "Rob Levin" is a plausible search term. We can be more helpful to our end users than just giving them a redlink. A redirect would take them to some of the information they seek, and there's no reason why Peer-Directed Projects Center shouldn't contain a sentence or two about Mr Levin. In terms of our formal procedures, we're supposed to exhaust the alternatives to deletion before we delete this material, and a redirect is a perfectly reasonable alternative.—S Marshall T/C 00:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm dismayed at the level of emotional investment that LiteralKa is showing here by feeling the need to post a retort to every "Keep" vote. Make your own arguments and let them stand on their merits, please.
Myself, I'm leaning toward keep: the article has only one RS right now, but I find it very hard to believe that more could not be found. Obituaries, for example, are published, so someone who's willing to do the research would likely find his (which is probably in an ungoogleable 2006 local newspaper), thus sourcing the bottom section. I say that "improve before deleting" applies here -- people have put work into the article, and that work shouldn't be lost simply because some Wikipedians would prefer to delete an article than to find sources that almost certainly exist. rspεεr (talk) 01:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    - Obviously the person above did not see it. LiteralKa (talk) 12:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - How is a cursory Google News search relevant here? You said above that you couldn't find a reliable citation of his death. I suggested that it might be in a newspaper not indexed by Google. You retorted with the same Google News search you posted before. I am aware that simply dying does not confer notability, but in my view the article isn't lacking notability, it's only lacking verifiability which a newspaper article would easily provide. rspεεr (talk) 17:34, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Please read WP:RS. LiteralKa (talk) 12:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have, thanks, i just find that things like slashdot are reliable sources, and I know the gentleman who ran the other major source writes for various newswires and is a professional journalist, or at least was at the time. The sources that are there are wp:rs reliable sources, could they be encyclopedia articles... and as such even more reliable.. yes, but they are perfectly reliable as is. I know you have your perspective, but, i'm not sure you should take it to extremes of enforcing that opinion over top of several prior afd's, but a bit of what we call 'judgment' and consensus-building is sometimes called for in these cases, much more so than your perpetual attack and defense. --Buridan (talk) 13:27, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not sure who you're referring to as the other major source, but let's discuss Slashdot, I searched it a bit. Keith Dawson published user submissions about Rob Levin's death [40]. Timothy Lord once published a submission by Rob Levin himself [41]. As for freenode, Rob Malda published one submission about a freenode incident [42], and Jeffrey Bates published a submission about an OPN upgrade [43] as well as a submission about Debian channels moving out [44]. There were also some other passing mentions of OPN and freenode, and nothing about PDPC. Even if we take all of the above as notable coverage, I'm not sure it really qualifies as significant coverage of Rob Levin. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 13:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - i was referring to chatmag and slashdot primarily, which constitute the majority of removed sources, though there are some others that could also be retained without wp:rs concerns. As for notability, I think that has been already established in prior afd and the policy is that notability does not disappear. the question then is what happens when the documentation or opinion about the notability disappears. 90% of the professors listed here as notable won't be notable 100 years after they die.... then what do we do. We either delete everyone that was once notable, like we are doing in this debate, or removing them. I think it is something very interesting to debate, but I don't think this is the forum, and as such I think we should still keep this as a marker of history. but as a researchers I'm very big on preserving verifiable data.--Buridan (talk) 14:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't believe your assertion that the previous AfDs "established" notability is correct. Each discussion had numerous people indicating in pretty clear terms that they didn't see how the notability was demonstrated, and in fact the one that had happened while he was alive had resulted in the deletion of the article, and not just because Rob had requested it himself. The thing is, we need to apply the same criteria on him as we do on all the old professors. The gist of it is - if people had *ever* written a modicum of secondary sources about him, then that supports a Wikipedia article about him. It doesn't matter if they were written while he was alive, when he died, or 100 years after he died. Right now, there's a single such The Register article listed. That's the whole point. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 11:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        but there was much more a week ago, and they were perfectly fine sources. There were over 10 sources about his life and work. Yes, in the past, some people disagreed about notability, but he passed notability 2 times and they were all arguments about notability. We will in 100 years be able to strip most bio articles of content based on lost sources I'm betting. That's how history works. If we put the sources back in, or just revert the article to the last article version that passed afd on notability, it should be fine. My argument is that 2 fold here, to reiterate. 1. he is notable and we have had in the past verifiable sources toward that effect and 2. that he is notable because prior arguments about his notability, while some disagreed, the consensus, several times was that he is notable. Following from the idea that notability does not disappear, just because someone edits the article, or time passes, then a once notable article subject is still notable. --Buridan (talk) 15:36, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        They weren't perfectly fine sources. There was a blog about IRC "news" and a slashdot story that referenced IRC logs. That fails WP:RS, hard. LiteralKa (talk) 16:05, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm troubled by deletion of some of the content and blanket claims that certain sites are completely non-reliable, even for simple factual statements.

Weak Delete. To answer, I don't think he is - not yet. Google searches turn up nothing much to indicate notability, and clearly a web page in China has his art showcased - but it's a single website.

Delete and redirect to Charlie Sheen. If y'all take a look at the very first version of this article, just started, it's clear that the intent of the article was not to educate about a valid aspect of Chinese traditional medicine, however esoteric, but rather to write a Wikipedia piece about Charlie Sheen's recent bizarre phrase about himself having "tiger blood." In short, the entire intent of the article was specious. If there's a need for discussion of this topic in Chinese medicine, or the destruction of rare wildlife to create such a product, this is most certainly not the place for it. Carrite (talk) 18:46, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - Ah, indeed. Good point. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 18:56, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If this should be redirected, it should be done on the basis of what most people over the longer term will be expecting "Tiger blood" to be about - will people expect it to be about tigers or about Charlie Sheen?

Comment Where this could potentially redirect to is an interesting topic. Tiger blood use in chinese medicine appears to be scant and trivial, so I would oppose that. A redirect to Tiger would be logical, but then again seems wholly unnecessary; as dumb as it seems, I think Charlie Sheen may be the most logical redirect location if a redirect is made. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it does seem to make sense. In the end, the encyclopedia is for the readers, and, at least for now, most of the people searching for "tiger blood" are probably doing so because of Charlie Sheen. But then again, I think an outright deletion makes the most sense, and I also would completely understand if somewhat disagrees with my logic behind what the best redirect would be.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:50, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Redirect I really think that deletion just is not the answer. Redirect to Charlie Sheen while it is still current (however long that will be) or even Tiger, but either way Tiger Blood is all too relevant in this day in age for deletion.

Keep; this does seem encyclopedic on its own. No reason we can't have a little disambiguation notice at the top sending people to Charlie Sheen, at least for awhile (the long-term staying power of Charlie Sheen memes remains to be seen). Kansan (talk) 14:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and expand A minor ingredient in "Traditional Chinese medicine" does not merit an article of its own, but has some encyclopedic merit. While not strictly applicable, the principle behind WP:1E should be followed. By the time this discussion closes, this brief notoriety may well be forgotten. There's enough behind the article that it should be kept in the context of the bigger picture, but renamed "Tigers and traditional Chinese medicine" or something like that and discuss all body parts/components and the impact of bone (not blood) on endangerment. If done, it should be a "See also" for Traditional Chinese medicine#Tiger penis.Novangelis (talk) 18:08, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's really nothing to expand. There's one source that makes a passing mention of tiger blood in medicine, but it is certainly not "widely" or significantly used. ~~The other source seems to just be there to strengthen the hoax, and has absolutely no mentions of blood in medicine at all.~~ Turns out both sources do address blood, although I still stand by the fact that they are incredibly passing mentions.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:15, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to read the sources more carefully. I added both of them to the article, and I was not involved in the original hoax - in fact, I don't know who Charlie Sheen is (and I'm quite happy in my ignorance). This source says that tiger blood is claimed to "build up the constitution and strengthen the willpower". This source repeats that claim, and references 2,000 year-old-texts for the belief. Neither is intended in any way to "strengthen the hoax" and both explicitly mention tiger blood. Thparkth (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I echo what Thparkth just said. The article has changed significantly since its initial creation, so any claim that this is a hoax needs to be claimed because it is now reliably sourced. Kansan (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason to expand would be to focus on the major ingredients (mostly bone) and their impact on wildlife and to bring the minor role of blood into context. Just about anything that could be said about the blood is already written, and will never stand as an article on its own, but the temporal discussion of tiger blood revealed a previously under-explored (see Tiger, Tiger in Chinese culture) topic which merits encyclopedic inclusion. The first source in the article is enough for a bare bones (no pun intended) expansion and there are other sources available. It might be merged into "Traditional Chinese medicine" or another article after expansion. Without expansion, merging would give blood undue weight.Novangelis (talk) 19:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition to Maryland Route 200

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

Do not need an article to ramble on about the opposition of the road. This could be condensed into a paragraph in the Maryland Route 200 article. Dough 48 72 04:54, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Merge horribly NPOV, tons of quotes, should be covered elsewhere. Not sure if anything can be salvaged here to be merged, though, the content may need to be rewritten. --Rs chen 7754 05:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge back into parent article. The article is well-sourced, and there was significant opposition to the highway while it was in the planning stages. We wouldn't be having this discussion if the section had not been split out of Maryland Route 200 in July 2009 for being so large, and so if we don't keep the material on this title, it should be condensed and merged back to the main article about the highway. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:07, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Half of the article is quotes (a Wikipedia no-no), and it is horribly NPOV. "Well-sourced" is not the only criterion for a decent article. --Rs chen 7754 05:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then one can certainly refine the article without deletion. There was indeed significant opposition to building the highway, and to delete the article in whole would be a back-handed way of dumping the content about the opposition. It's certainly encyclopedic and sourced, but could certainly stand to go through a few rewrites. That's what I'm getting at - put it through a few rewrites and perhaps a merge, but don't dump the subject matter outright. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am changing my !vote to a straight keep, but that said, the article certainly needs a few rewrites. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:44, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I wrote much of it, and I do not consider myself to be the best writer out there (and I appreciate comments above and below). Opposition to this highway is one of the major (maybe the major reason?) that construction on the road did not start until about 2008, and that opposition needs to be documented. It also documents a very important policy issue in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties from about 1970 to 2008. I probably would prefer it being part of the main Md. 200 article but I don't feel strongly either way. Cpzilliacus (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Keep I strongly disagree with Dough4872's contention that this article could be condensed into a paragraph in the MD 200 article. The opposition (lowercase letter O) to MD 200 is well documented, very in-depth, and an integral part of the history of the highway. I recognize and fully agree that the article itself is none of the qualities in the last sentence, is poorly written, and violates many, many of Wikipedia's guidelines. That does not mean the content is insignificant. Whatever our reaction to what is in the article now, we must recognize that this article has great potential as a standalone article if it is done right. This is a process that will take a lot of time and energy and involve the work of multiple editors. The information in the article should be kept and gradually refined until this article starts to become a product from which we do not recoil and perhaps have some pride in. V C 05:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There has been much opposition to other highways in the United States. Do you support having "Opposition" articles for each and every one? --Rs chen 7754 05:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am not supporting Opposition to Route X articles here, although I realize what I said can be interpreted as such. I dislike the fact that this article exists. Rather than trying to set a precedent, I am arguing against hastily getting rid of this particular article at this point in time. I am arguing for giving this article a chance to become something much better than it is right now. In that process, the editors may find there is sufficient information for this article to exist to fulfill Wikipedia's guideline of summary style. Or the editors may find the information in this article would better work being integrated into the history section of the MD 200 article or included in the History of Maryland Route 200 article. I argue for keeping this article at this moment in time because I do not agree with the rationale provided by the originator of this deletion discussion and, frankly, think it is hasty and poorly conceived. V C 05:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Then the article can be sandboxed. As it stands right now the article is horribly unencyclopedic, and by definition, the scope is NPOV. --Rs chen 7754 06:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - (ec) That's a bit of a loaded question, because you know full well that no one would support a wholesale creation of opposition articles for every single highway project that ever had opposition. However, if a section about opposition to a highway is well-sourced and becomes too large for the article that it is in, it should be split out as the need arises. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, the point here is that I'm sure that MD 200 isn't the most opposed highway in the U.S. So why does MD 200 get an Opposition article when no other USRD article has one? What makes MD 200 so special? --Rs chen 7754 06:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to the original route 200 article. A minor note is the South Pasadena gap section of Interstate 710, but more importantly, the article does not need a split for size at this point. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:16, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize, merge and redirect to the parent article. As a case study, M-6, the South Beltline Freeway in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan was proposed in the 1940s, seriously proposed in the 1960s, added to state transportation planning and funded by a gas tax increase in the 1970s, studied and opposed in the 1980s, finally engineered in the 1990s and built between 1997–2004. The article on the highway covers all of the events without undue weight, without NPOV issues, and it does so in one article. There are way too many quotations, and just too much detail that in necessary for this highway. It borders on, if not outright breaches, WP:RECENTISM. Major cleanup is needed. My tool of choice would be a machete, not a scalpel. Imzadi 1979 → 06:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article and the history section were spun down from the main MD 200 article in July 2009 per WP:SIZE. The main article is now 56K, the history is 39K and this article is 40K. Also, a merger proposal was left open for 16 months without a merger back into the main MD 200 article. This top has drawn considerable press attention for three decades and has been a major topic of local political debate and election campaigns. I nominated the history article for GA, which prompt a few editors active in WikiProject US Roads to get involved in the three, and to quick fail the GA nomination. We must apply general Wikipedia policies and realize that the topic covered here - major environmental litigation and political activism - is beyond the scope of any one WikiProject. WP:GNG governs and the press coverage that the opposition to MD 200 drew over the past 30 years is sufficient to establish the notability of this subject. Racepacket (talk) 07:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- All of the items you cite about MD-200 also apply to M-6 in Michigan, yet one single, concise article was written that does not give undue weight to any one part of the subject, nor did it require the creation of subarticles. I have several dozen additional news articles at my disposal on the South Beltline Freeway, an article you reviewed at GAN, but that doesn't mean I need to clog the article with more and more and more detail until it bursts at the seams. There are two options to deal with large articles. One is to split them up. Another is to condense the information to avoid giving undue weight to topics. I don't believe that MD-200 needs three articles in total for a 20-mile highway in a suburban setting that's been proposed for 40+ years and spawned major opposition and significant press coverage, when the analogous situation in Michigan is done in 3000 words in a 38-kilobyte article. Imzadi 1979 → 08:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That comparison requires an analysis of the extent of press coverage and reliable sources for the opposition of the two projects. Is M-6 become a big issue in a state-wide campaign for governor? If so, I would support a separate article. The only legitimate concern is avoiding a POV-fork. I would not want to see the proponents of a project isolating the criticism and opposition into a "Opposition of Highway X" article. That is not the case here. This article meets notability and complies with WP:SIZE so it should be kept. Racepacket (talk) 02:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in some way shape or form. The ICC has been one of the most contentious road projects in the DC area, so the article is clearly notable. On the other hand, the amount of text is enormous and too large to cut and paste merge back into the original article. I wonder if it might make more sense to have an "ICC controversies" article instead that included the existence controversy and maybe the bike lane controversy? I would also support a condensed merge. Sailsbystars (talk) 14:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The MD 200 article along with the history article also need to be condensed, cutting back on excessive quotes and redundant information. With the material from this article merged with the condensed main MD 200 article, the article size will not be too bad. Dough 48 72 17:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once notability has been established, the AfD inquiry is done. Editors are then free to add sources and details as they see fit to the article. Again, this article is beyond the scope of any one WikiProject, and general Wikipedia standards should govern its further development, regardless of the preference of any particular Wikiproject. Racepacket (talk) 02:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The use of excessive quotes and detail is still poor prose quality, regardless of WikiProjects. Dough 48 72 03:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A major objection seems to be the extensive use of quotations in the article. However, WP:QUOTE says, "When dealing with a controversial subject. As per the WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV policy, biased statements of opinion can only be presented with attribution. Quotations are the simplest form of attribution. Editor of controversial subject should quote the actual spoken or written words to refer to the most controversial ideas. Controversial ideas must never appear to be 'from Wikipedia'." I believe the use of quotes and the resulting length in the article is appropriate. Condensation with a "machete" is not needed here. Racepacket (talk) 03:04, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no need to use direct quotes when what is being quoted can be summarized. Dough 48 72 03:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The quotation from WP:QUOTE takes a different view. Racepacket (talk) 07:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - While the quotes follow the guidelines, they are still not needed as there is no need for direct quotes on this subject. Dough 48 72 14:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The main measure of notability for WP is if the subject has "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources." So people who want to save the article should be looking for sources which tell the story of the opposition, not references which tell the the individual facts of the story. I feel confident that the former is out there. Currently the article is full of the latter. If the story of the opposition can be shown to have received "significant coverage" such as two or three feature articles in a major newspapers or periodicals, then it should kept. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 03:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- MD 200 has received notable coverage concerning opposition. However, this coverage can be mentioned in the main MD 200 article. No other U.S. road has a separate opposition article. Dough 48 72 03:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:SPLIT says (and I quote), articles greater than 60K "Probably should be divided" The size of MD 200 was raised on its talk page and the consensus was to split it into three. This is one of the split articles, so it should be separate from the main MD 200 article. The second argument regarding "No other U.S. road has a separate opposition article" makes no sense. Montgomery and PG Counties are 32% of Maryland's population, so a high portion of Marylanders are affected by MD 200. The ICC was an issue in the campaigns for Governor. Just because Grand Valley State University does not have a in-depth article does not justify stopping editors interested in writing multiple high-quality articles about Harvard University from doing so. The test is not whether the article has a depth of coverage of interest to one WikiProject — the proper test is notability. If people interested in Maryland politics and Maryland history want to generate in depth coverage of the Intercounty Connector, then WikiProject US Roads has no right to stop them or to insist on only superficial coverage. Racepacket (talk) 07:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Most of the stuff in the MD 200 article isn't encyclopedic and doesn't belong there. --Rs chen 7754 07:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - That is a content dispute question that is not resolvable at AfD. It is also not governed by WP:USRD/STDS. Racepacket (talk) 13:42, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect with a significant shortening back to Maryland Route 200. This is an overly detailed content fork, and having this as an independent article is a POV issue. It should be summarized in the main article. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 13:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge this and History of Maryland Route 200 into Maryland Route 200 The actual content of the two subsidiary articles is not that large; WP:RECENTISM has simply made far more material available to the online researcher on a controversial road with a complex history, and in each case most of the content of each article is in references which are pretty much duplicate two and three times over. There's no real need to split these out especially since the historical/controversial matter is really what is of most interest; the niggling detail needs to be cut back. Mangoe (talk) 16:53, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - nothing really warrants this being its own article. The article on MD 200 would still be of an acceptable length if this information were to be placed there. Still, nothing warrants a delete. --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 23:20, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The question that needs to be decided here is whether the topic is encyclopedic, which is established by guidelines, and which it is. The merge back to the base article is best left unresolved here, leaving that decision up to the involved editors. The POV treatment in the Opposition section of the main article speaks to the decision that was made for a separate article. Regarding the current version of the article, it has been properly sanitized, removing POV and excessive quotes, but probably needs some zest added with responsible and appropriate short opinionated quotes. Unscintillating (talk) 22:54, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Regarding the content fork, and any remaining POV fork contentions now that the article has been sanitized, these are discussed in WP:Content forking. Wikipedia:Content forking#Articles whose subject is a POV states, "Different articles can be legitimately created on subjects which themselves represent points of view, as long as the title clearly indicates what its subject is, the point-of-view subject is presented neutrally, and each article cross-references articles on other appropriate points of view." Unscintillating (talk) 05:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or perhaps merge. The current article suffers a lot from WP:PROSELINE. The subject of the controversy over the construction of this road definitely should be covered, but at least as of now what is at Maryland Route 200 and History of Maryland Route 200 is better written. Furthermore, WP:NPOV (section containing "Descriptive titles should be worded neutrally") would seem to advocate a title like "controversy over" and/or the "history of" one, rather than "opposition to". I don't think the coverage of this subject should be shorter, but I would focus more on the various pros and cons and less on the "on such-and-such a date, so-and-so a politician had a news conference" kind of stuff. Kingdon (talk) 14:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, see Interstate 69 in Indiana#Controversy and Interstate 69 in Indiana#Protests, where two-dozen "protestors" spray-painted the state capital building in 2005. In comparison to "opposition", "controversy" seems to be an idea that people can't be opposed to a road without also being controversial about it (could be true, seems POV). Unscintillating (talk) 19:32, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "controversy" is not a POV term. Wiktionary defines it as "A debate, discussion of opposing opinions; strife." I would say that by that definition, this was a controversial road, and I would support such a rename, because it actually is a bit more neutral than the current "opposition to" title. SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a fan for keeping this article separate, but were it to be, it needs to be "Controversy of" or "Criticism of" or something more neutral. --Rs chen 7754 20:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question. The article has had a {{merge to}} template on it for nearly three years, but seemingly without the required discussion being started.

Merging and/or redirection don't require an admin to hit the "delete" button. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable as an author according to our rules: first, his most important academic work, "Four British fantasists : place and culture in the children's fantasies of Penelope Lively, Alan Garner, Diana Wynne Jones, and Susan Cooper" is in 236 libraries, and has been reviewed in the standard book review source CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries Dec 2006 v44 i4 p645, School Library Journal Oct 2006 v52 i10 p192 , Reference & Research Book News August 2006-- & the academic journals Children's Literature Association Quarterly, 32, no. 3 (2007): 273-275, Children's Literature Annual 2008 v36 p251(6) , Marvels & tales. 21, no. 1, (2007): 172 (Wayne State University Press). Another academic work, Teaching Children's Fiction is in 148 libraries. . And for his fiction: Timon's Tide is his most widely held and reviewed: over 300 libraries & reviews in Publishers Weekly July 3, 2000 , Center for Children's Books Bulletin Sept 2000 v54 p9, Kirkus Reviews June 1, 2000 v68 p792 , School Library Journal June 2000 v46 i6 p142, School Librarian Summer 1999 v47 p98 , Voice of Youth Advocates June 2000 v23 p123 His other fiction, Death of a ghost "The fetch of Mardy Watt" i, "Calypso dreaming", The Lurkers" all in about 100 libraries and with reviews also. Summer 2007 v55 i2 p100(1) The library holdings are minimum figures--he's a UK author and I'm giving the counts from WorldCat, which greatly undercounts UK public libraries--and this probably makes more difference for children's fiction than almost any other genre. . 3rd party reviews in reliable sources are the secondary sources that prove the notability of creative people or all sorts. CHOICE is as reliable as they come. I have added the above information to the article. DGG ( talk ) 05:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per DGG, CHOICE review. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 02:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw the AfD, based primarily upon the addition of the reviews. I don't think being found in a few hundred libraries meets any of the criteria listed under WP:AUTH or WP:GNG, but the multiple, independent, non-trivial reviews is sufficient for both GNG and the specific guidelines for creative people. DGG, I'm going to drop a note on your talk page regarding the reviews. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- - To elucidate, I consider the presence of books in very large numbers of libraries as showing , for academic works, widespread influence in the subject; for fiction and popular non-fiction, best seller status. The number the shows this varies with field and nature of the book. It correlates very strongly with book reviews, because libraries buy books in large part on the basis of book reviews. The book reviews were found with Book Review Index a paid service, but available in most libraries. A complementary paid service is Book Review Digest. There is no free equivalent. I will be glad to check these when asked. They are immediately available to me and it takes only a few minutes. DGG ( talk ) 16:36, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Element 122 is notable because of Amnon Marinov's claim he discovered it in natural thorium samples.

Element 124 is notable because of GANIL's claim to have synthesized Element 124 nuclei.

Element 126 is notable for being located at the theoretical island of stability.

Element 137 is notable because, as Richard Feynman noted, in the Bohr model, anthing larger would require electrons that exceed the speed of light.

Elements 123, 125, and 127 through 136 are not notable.

Guy Macon (talk) 19:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Oh, and to finish up:

Element 119 is notable because of Lougheed et al's attempted synthesis.

Element 120 is notable because of JINR's attempted synthesis, GANIL's claim of synthesis and GSI's and RIKEN's planned future attempts at synthesis.

Element 121's notability was disputed by me, but its AfD was closed as keep.

Elements 138 and above are not notable.

Redirect. This is simply not going to be considered significantly until unbiunium (121-ium) or unbibium (122-ium) get synthesized. Even though this is my first edit at AfD, I have something to say about this element (123-ium) and other transactinides: other than their discovery, they are pretty much non-notable because they are so radioactive. (Thanks, La-138!) FRE YWA 07:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Other things aside, high radioactivity could be an argument to keep. Fotaun (talk) 18:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, but by that same token, we ought to keep every period 8 element and period 9 element, just because they are all highly radioactive. That's obviously not going to happen (editors are not that logical), but keeping this (which has no useful information at the moment - no claims or attempts at synthesis, for example, which is a huge blow to the article's notability) might start off a chain reaction of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Untribium. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think the consensus is pretty clear now. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. For a fairer assessment, the article needs to add some of the theoretical physics work done on this element. Is there a nuclear physicist that can help us? Fotaun (talk) 18:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge- I think at the moment Unbitrium is quite interesting _{I realise that alone won't stop it being deleted} though stubbish, whereas extended periodic table is very dense and overly technical. The Extended periodic table article doesn't mention the word Unbitrium, so it would be confusing for a reader to end up there from the redirect. Does the claim that Unbitrium would be the most stable make it notable? If we decide this isn't notable then merge, but it would be a shame to lose the information altogether.--Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I would think that it's not too notable (as it mentions that Ubt-326 would be the most stable Ubt isotope and not the most stable isotope) - unbihexium could really be the most stable isotope of all elements in this region, which is why it wasn't even nominated for AfD. Extended periodic table does link to systematic element name, which explains the naming. (As of now, elements with Z > 139 redirect to systematic element name and those with Z ≤ 139 that aren't notable redirect to extended periodic table, but you could bring this up at WT:ELEM for discussion.)

Comment I don't see what there is to rescue, the article is a decent stub/start its just that there are no significant references to the org. Current refs are 3 dead links, 3 articles about Ms Hotaling (who had nothing to do with the organisation it seems, they have adopted her legacy) and one self published art which confirms Laura Lederer is indeed involved in GC.

Gnews grabs 9 results, of which a couple are obituries of people who have donated to GC, but most seem to mention it once, and only use it to establish Ms Lederer's credentials (e.g. 'the vice president of policy and planning for Global Centurion, an organization that fights child sex trafficking') - do we not need to establish notability before investing in rescuing the page?

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

"Armis" is a particularly complicated chess variant, commercially sold. The current article is an advertisement combined with the game's rules. The only references are links to a copyright search and a trademark search; the only external links are to the game's company's website, a link to a rules listing (already present in immense detail in the article), and youtube videos on how to play. This, in and of itself, is not a problem, if the article could be fixed, but I believe it can't. There's no indication anywhere, other than the game's website, that the game has made any impact or that anybody is playing the game. The lack of possible secondary sources for this subject indicates that this article should be deleted. ArglebargleIV (talk) 13:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete It is difficult to see the game has any clear novelty so I must agree with Arglebargle's points. The current WP:SPA doesn't help the case. There is an extensive promotion campaign happening on the net but it is still lacking the sites to give it credibility. Ironically this behaviour eventually might achieve its aim but it is a long way off yet.Tetron76 (talk) 15:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of IIT JEE Toppers

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

This is a not-impeccably-sourced article about living people: in particular, the top-placed students in the admissions test to undergraduate study at the Indian Institutes of Technology. There's no doubt that the exams themselves are very challenging and prestigious, but I am less sure that a list of top-finishers is a suitable article for Wikipedia. This isn't a major prize as such, although it's true that there can be media coverage of the "winning" high school-leaver so I suppose a GNG case could be put forward. Yet not all of the entries seem well-sourced (some entries are sourced to the former student's linkedin page, for example). There may be a cultural question here that as a non-Indian I am not best-placed to comment on, but the acknowledged non-notability of most people on the list, the paucity of sourcing for some of the entries (with BLP in mind), and the fact this is a pre-undergraduate exam, suggest there's a case for deletion.

Delete No evidence of real-world notability. The article itself is a plot-only description of a fictional work, written with an in-universe perspective that lacks real-world perspective, and it is an unnecessary content fork. The subject of the article does not meet the criteria of the general notability guideline since there is no significant coverage in reliable third-party sources independent of the subject to presume notability. All Google hits show notability for The Famous Five book series, but, with the exception of mentions about the book Five on Kirrin Island Again, all mentions about Kirrin Island are trivial and do not show significant coverage for the fictional location. Jfgslo (talk) 18:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How are the sources in the article, and the hundreds more found by the Google Books search linked in the nomination, not significant coverage in reliable third party sources? Please address this particular article and discussion rather than copy and paste an argument that you have used elsewhere. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quite simple. Most of the Google hits from Google books that mention Kirrin Island are for mentions about of the book Five on Kirrin Island Again, not the fictional location. If you add -"Five on Kirrin Island" to the search, no reliable secondary source appears in the search, merely trivial mentions and almost all of them related to the plot of the series, not even one that treats in detail the fictional location of Kirrin Island. The two sources used in the article also don't treat in detail the fictional location. The first one only mentions it four times within the text and they are passing mentions in regards to the plot, not in regards to detailed commentary about the fictional location. The second source mentions Kirrin Island also four times, and again it's not commentary about the fictional location but commentary about the plot of the series. And two sources do not constitute significant coverage. So, with no detailed commentary about the fictional location or significant coverage in third-party sources, there is no presumption of notability to warrant the keeping of the article about the fictional location. Jfgslo (talk) 05:58, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from an internet search it appears that TV/film adaptations exist. Information about what location was used for Kirrin Island could be added to this page, and would be "out of universe" coverage. There is already some out-of-universe description here, but it's fairly near the "trivial" line. Searching for "Kirrin Island" with -"Five on Kirrin Island" is not helpful: any non-trivial source about e.g. inspirations for the island would be likely to mention that book title. TheGrappler (talk) 00:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I accept that this is a difficult one but I have to agree with Jfgslo. No-one would question the notability of the Famous Five books, or that Kirrin Island features frequently in them. But it does not seem to me that the island has any significance outside that context, and that it is within the Famous Five article that it belongs. I accept that Wikipedia isn't always consistent in dealing with fictional places and characters, and that Google isn't the only basis on which to make that judgement. But if we take the opposite extreme, that of Lilliput where the fictional place has overtaken the original book in popular culture (to the extent that Hollywood apparently cannot tell the difference), we can try to place Kirrin Island somewhere on a continuum and for me it lies within and not outside the books. But I can understand the passion of those for whom Kirrin Island may perhaps have had a very real hold on their imagination. I note, too, what TheGrappler has to say about the real world setting and that might indeed tip the balance.AJHingston (talk) 01:01, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oliver James Phillips

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

Doesn't meet notability; speedy deletion opposed on basis of participation in a single event (WP:ONEEVENT), that hundreds of others have participated in to date. No sources found to indicate particular notability in this field. Rest of article consists of general biography, hobbies. Appears to be written by the subject for WP:PROMOTION. — Pretzels^Hii! 23:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would however add the subject of the article is a national representative and has a lot of references which back up their notability. Also the work they have done on the mosquito is rather fantastic, and has gone far in changing legislation in the UK, look at Sheffield County Council for example, Blackpool, Kent. The various edms and parliamentary support he has recieved. Weternhuttle (talk) 23:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you could show these sources, the campaign itself could be notable; but still not Oliver Phillips. Besides, the majority of coverage of the mosquito campaign seems to be on forums, Twitter, and Oliver's personal blog - which are not valid reliable sources. The one story that does crop up in a few publications ([50]) merely says that he is happy about something unrelated to his actions. — Pretzels^Hii! 00:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable.

I just want to say, that this young person is most definitely notable. He was one of the first ever young people in history to debate in the house of commons. No one has debated in the house of commons other than elected MPs before the Youth Parliament did in 2009. He was part of that debate, making him clearly notable. olik8 23:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Please familiarise yourself with the notability guidelines for people. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" - would all x hundred members involved in the debate be notable enough for a Wikipedia article? — Pretzels^Hii! 23:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He isn't a local representative he is a national one. He is extremely notable amongst young people. Let me get this straight, because he is an MP for young people, an MYP. He isn't as notable as someone who those over 18 rather than those under 18 voted for? Weternhuttle (talk) 00:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The UK Youth Parliament, a pressure group with no power, does not qualify as "major political office". Oliver's page says he was elected in Stafford to represent that area; whether he is prominent internally has no bearing and does not make him a national representative of young people. — Pretzels^Hii! 02:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He was elected by young people, to represent them at a national level surely making him a national representative? It says on his page he was elected as a representative locally and was subsequently elected to a national position. Weternhuttle (talk) 03:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The group he was elected to, the "Procedures Group", is described and sourced on Wikipedia as "decisions regarding the development and progression of the organisation". Therefore, it is not a role to represent young people nationally, they represent the members of the parliament internally; more like a civil servant, if anything.

Delete. There's no comparison between Parliament and the Youth Parliament. One is a body with sovereign power over a country, the other is a powerless body that debates issues. The power and influence of MPs is vastly more than that of MYPs. Yes, he's a "national representative", but so are representatives of many trade unions, pressure groups and so on. The rules is the same for all of them - you get an article only if you get significant coverage in reliable sources. Out of the six sources quoted here, three are from local papers, one is from the local section of the BBC news site, one don't mention Oliver Phillips at all, and the other is a self-published MP's webpage. Nowhere near the notability threshold in WP:GNG. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Here's the assertion of encyclopedia-worthiness from the lead: Oliver James Phillips is a young parliamentarian from Stafford, Staffordshire, UK.
