The article has been improved by Aymatth2. Thanks. emijrp (talk) 22:27, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep certainly keep as improved. The original delete argument was never correct, even unimproved, whether it had been improved in the past 3 months is obvious irrelevant to whether it will be improved in the future. Excellent example of this principle, that stubs are acceptable because they lead to fuller articles DGG ( talk ) 17:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It should have been obvious that the subject was notable before the article was nominated. A link was provided in the stub and a search would have shown many sources. I do not buy the argument that this proves stubs are good. This proves that the combination of a stub that gives no useful information and a nominator who does no research is to waste a lot of time in an AfD debate. "The Sevilla Public Library is a public library located in Sevilla, Spain". Indeed. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:29, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article about an actress that does not have any reliable sources, specifically IMDB is not a reliable source. As this article lacks sources, it clearly violates Wikipedia's rules on biographies of living people. It also violates the rule on verifiability and doesn't provide evidence to show the subject is notable. Prod was removed without a reason being given, so bringing here for discussion.

Article about a TV series that doesn't have any reliable sources. Both the sources present at the time of nomination are press releases that are not independent of the subject and appear on websites that do not have the strong fact checking reputation required by Wikipedia's policy. The article therefore isn't verifiable and doesn't show how the series is notable. Prod was contested, so bringing here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 21:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Single user, fails notability, classic up and coming case of a TV channel. Ray-Rays 22:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raymond88824 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep. The most reliable source is a TV - anyone can tune in on Sky Channel 284, the details on this page are also contained on Sky's TV Guide online. No rael conflict of interest as the article is plain facts, similar to The Travel Channel (UK) although they have no references at all. Are TV channels not allowed to be featured on Wikipedia, as if not there are thousands which will need deleting also.

Unsourced; contested PROD.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 21:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete This creator has created a ton of episode/short pages, all with the same sources (not reliable, either blogs, or the dvd commentary). The individual shorts/eps are clearly not notable (imo). I did several google searches, and could not find refs that were not refering to the entire series.

  • comment creator has continued to remove AFD templates from the linked pages, after being warned multiple times. I have reverted some of them as vandalism, and reported her to aiv. Gaijin42 (talk) 13:26, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • more articles there are a lot more articles from the Pink Panther series that fall in with this. 124 eps, each with a plot summary, all using the same 3 refs, most of them including the identical text on "laugh track". Here is a subset of them. Im conflicted on these, (slightly, mostly leaning delete). Pink panther is much more notable than the series(s) we have been talking about so far, as those others are essentially spin-offs. They have more editors, vs just maryane. However, the fact that they all use the same 3 refs, and have the same laugh track note really indicates to me that it is group notability, and not individual notability. I think the list/main article can be expanded with a 2-3 line summary for each episode, rather than a whole article for each episode, since there will likely not be more content on a per episode basis really.

I did not subst:afd all these articles, I want to see what others think before going through that. That may mean extending this AFD to give them a fair shake if we do add them in.

Gaijin42 (talk) 02:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retain I think the Pink Panther articles should be retained, but they also need to be expanded upon. At present, a great many have just the basics and are stub articles. All the other series' (Inspector, Ant and Aardvark, Misterjaw) do not need their individual entries, as they are far less notable.Tomatosoup97 (talk) 16:00, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable, possibly copyvio. cf. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/200 Greatest Israelis. List articles that simply reproduce lists published elsewhere are non-notable. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obviously Keep, by the motives mentioned regarding many of the Greatest Britons spin-offs nominated for deletion by the same user. Rather ridiculous nomination. This TV show that got loads of attention. If doubting notability, just google the show's Japanese title ("ニッポン人が好きな偉人ベスト１００"), it generates over 30,000 results, as the show was lively discussed at the time. Just in case, I added several secondary references, and now two independent sources of the list itself have been provided. Please withdraw and do some research the next time. —Derlinus (talk) 04:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I note, as well, that this appears to be part of a series of 2 dozen AfDs today by the same nom, of most of the national poll results reflected here.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. First, I note that at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/100 Welsh Heroes, the closer of the AfD to which the nom points objected to nom's use of his close as precedent. He wrote: "No blanket declaration about the inherent notability of such lists was made, or even implied, in my closing statement [1].... And I don't know how much clearer I could have been that copyright issues were not considered as a factor in that close."
Second, it is clear as discussed above that there is not any copyvio. In addition, nom's last sentence is simply inapplicable. As to notability, I agree with the other commenting editor on this page that sufficient notability has been evidenced. I also note (as wp:otherstuffexists permits) that we have thousands of lists of people from country x (or city y, or college z), which weren't even the results of polls -- just collections that random editors chose -- and this certainly has greater indicia of notability than such lists.
Finally, I note that at the 2-dozen-odd AfDs that nom made of the same ilk most commentators are expressing keen disagreement with nom's parallel nominations. The AfDs, which are running concurrently with this one, can be found at most of the national poll results reflected here.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:18, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article on a company that fails WP:CORP. WP:ADVERT is also an issue.

The result was no consensus. Although the article has not mentioned it, the sources indicating possible fallout from this incident does lend some credibility to the argument that coverage is beyond "mere news". The option of merging with the airport is not entirely unreasonable either. There is no general agreement here, but since alternatives to deletion have some support, I see no consensus for deletion.

Non notable incident, likely created as a response to LOT Polish Airlines Flight 016. However in this case only the nose wheels failed to deploy, which is much more common (in fact happened earlier this year at the same airport to mention just one).

I'm not trying to suggest that the article wasn't created in good faith. I simply think that the author of this article saw the article on the LOT flight created (it was created first) remembered this incident, and assumed (in good faith) that it was notable and so created the article. Ravendrop 21:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining your reasons, and please be assured the work you did on the article, which is actually well done, is appreciated. It sucks to work on something and then it be deleted, but if that happens its nothing personal. It's just the subjective judgement of some others that the incident doesn't deserve a stand-alone article. Cheers! LoveUxoxo (talk) 23:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
WP:AIRCRASH is the relevant essay. Generally, for an accident to have a chance of sustaining a stand-alone article, the airframe needs to be written off (there are some notable incidents where the aircframe was not written off though). For other major incidents, it generally results in coverage on the aircraft type, airline, and airport (if appliccable) articles. In this case, it would seem to be sufficient to give the accident such coverage. Mjroots (talk) 06:52, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete; falls short on notability. bobrayner (talk) 09:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those are good points. When I !voted to merge this article JetBlue Airways Flight 292 did come to mind, and although there was arguably "more" coverage of that incident at the time, that article probably shouldn't be in WP either. An article on the effect of sanctions on parts for commercial airliners in Iran is, I think, possibly the best way for information on this incident to be presented, maybe something similar to 2006–2007 Brazilian aviation crisis. Cheers! LoveUxoxo (talk) 23:14, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've brought it up on that article's talk page. LoveUxoxo (talk) 00:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thank you Russavia. I would draw attention to the Washington Post story (I couldn't access it before), apparently filed 11 days after the event by their Tehran correspondent. Yes, "continuing" and "international" coverage. Still, I'm going to keep my opinion as "Merge" - I'd still be happier with not losing any of this information, but in an article of wider scope. It looks like this AfD is closest to "no consensus", which doesn't make me sad at all, especially if editors want to try to run with it for a while. JetBlue Airways Flight 292 was nominated for deletion twice [5] [6] and survived, but I think 5 years after the event there is interest now in changing that. No big deal if this is the same way.

Although tragic, this aircraft crash is not notable by Wikipedia standards. First off, it clearly fails to have continuing coverage, or widespread coverage outside of narrow circles (i.e. accident databases). In addition, the relevant notability essay here is WP:AIRCRASH, which for aircraft of this size, suggests that an accident is notable if it involves somebody notable enough to have their own Wikipedia page (fail), or, failing that, if they have all of the below: people killed in the aircraft or on the ground (check), hull loss of the aircraft (check), and changes to procedures and/or regulations (fail). Given that this article, based on that, is likely not notable enough to be included in the Pilatus PC-12 article, the fact that it fails overall notability makes the existiance of a standalone article doubly unnecessary.

  • Delete - this is a non-commercial flight, with no-one notable (in terms of wikipedia) on board. Coverage seems to have been limited to local news only (eg the links from the ASN report). All-in-all adds up to an unfortunate event but not one that adds to the sum of human knowledge as represented by wikipedia. GraemeLeggett (talk) 19:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While tragic, crashes involving light aircraft like this are much more common than their larger, commercial cousins. Pburka (talk) 20:39, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The essay WP:AIRCRASH is a good, though rough, attempt to help us determine some threshold for inclusion for aircraft accident articles. Per AIRCRASH this doesn't meet that threshold, but it is close. For instance the Pilatus PC-12 is fairly large, and close to the arbitrary max. loaded weight weight limit set in AIRCRASH, 10,450 lbs vs. 12,500 lbs. Also, this is the higher end for loss of life. When the South African Civil Aviation Authority releases its investigation report there might be notability. If the 2004 Martinsville plane crash hadn't killed notable members of NASCAR I'd still argue for inclusion since the NTSB felt fit to issue a full-length Aircraft Accident Report on the event (NOT common). It is too bad the editor involved in creating this article isn't around; although However, at this time I don't see WP being better for having this article currently, in a borderline case such as this I would have liked to have heard their input.

The preliminary report was interesting to me personally, but I still doubt that when the final report is issued that notability will be established. Again, I'd shade it to being close/borderline (for instance, the wreckage recovery operations from the ocean I think are indicative that the accident is being treated with more attention from the authorities than most civil aviation accidents).

    I understand what you are saying, but WP:WAX (part of the "Arguments to avoid") explains why it doesn't matter what other articles are doing. Right now, aside from track info, the totality of the article is: Blind Devotion is the debut EP from Love Fungus and was released in 2011.. All other info is already in the band's article. Track info isn't really needed (or can be a collapsed section if you must) if the EP isn't notable as a stand alone article, which is the issue here.

Questionable notability of an individual. Of the references, three mention "fatboy" and don't even use his real name, nor are they of sufficient depth to support a biography. The fourth is of decent depth from the Moviefone blog. No other reliable, verifiable sources found- see this google search. I'd link to the news search but it retrieved zero results.

Ultimately, Bobby Roberts is a radio host, the host of a local trivia night and blogger. The radio show was deemed lacking in encyclopedic merit, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cort and Fatboy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Cort and Fatboy Show, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cort Webber.

Hello. I'm aware of the past problems but would like to do what I can to make this article worthy of Wikipedia. Roberts, who does often operate under the moniker "Fatboy," is a noteworthy and well-known media personality in Oregon. He and his radio show have been mentioned numerous times in area publications. I can track additional citations, if need be, but shouldn't the Moviefone article be enough? As it stands, there are many other media personalities who work in Portland with similar pages that are in worse states. They lacks sources and information. Anyway, please let me know what it would take to make the article work. Cheers. Amstelontheriver (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We can deal with the language and format through copyediting. What renders the article unsalvageable is the OR; once it's removed, we're not left with anything to work with. Sources about this group might change that, but no sources are apparent - and it might be better to start fresh anyway, if and when. The AFC decline doesn't factor, though it seems that posting a new article identical to one declined through AFC would be similar to posting a deleted article after it was deleted via AFD; perhaps we need to expand WP:CSD#G4 a bit.

  • Incubate. I had a look and made a few minor sourcing additions. What I saw in web searches were directory listings, blogs, trivial mentions. I am fairly convinced that (a) it existed, (b) some crew members were notable or potentially notable, and (c) that it is not a classic. Might merit a WP entry, might not. Notability here definitely requires evidence, which is simply not there yet. However, it is a brand new article and I appreciate the difficulties given the subject, so I think incubation is a better course than deletion.

  • Incubate seems reasonable to me. The difficulty of this topic being a 51-year-old, waaaay-pre-internet, 1961 film indicates that research might take a bit longer than the few days we have at AFD, and will require assistance from those Hindi-reading Wikipedians beter able to address the non-English topic.

Well it certainly sounds unappetising (per nom). But let's see what we can find and then make our minds up:
Smoke Bomb by Peter G Gosselin, 11 March 2011 - review of Parker-Pope's book Cigarettes: Anatomy of an Industry from Seed to Smoke (certainly not a self-help book, and not part of her column either). Gosselin writes "a useful guide to the world's most lethal legal industry, and to efforts to reduce the carnage at a time when globalization is extending opportunities for self-destruction through smoke to billions." The review is in the New York Times - impeccable source, but of course Parker-Pope's workplace. I suggest it is allowable as a reliable source here as the NYT and Gosselin cannot risk their reputation for a colleague.
There are many NYT blogs and letter also about Parker-Pope but I am unsure about citing them.
The Week 29 July 2009. "After watching the latest Harry Potter movie, I have to ask, “Does Hogwarts have a drinking problem?” said Tara Parker-Pope in The New York Times. Unlike in previous Harry Potter movies, alcohol has a “starring role” in “The Half-Blood Prince.”" A reliable source; the article has a jokey feel but a serious message, and Parker-Pope is treated as a source worth quoting.
ON LINE opinion, Australia's e-journal of social and political debate 22 July 2008. "According to Tara Parker Pope writing in the New York Times, American pediatricians are recommending wider cholesterol screening for children and more aggressive use of cholesterol-lowering drugs, starting as early as the age of eight, in the hope of preventing adult heart problems. This has followed guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics which also calls for children to be given low-fat milk after 12 months of age. The academy estimates that 30 to 60 per cent of children with high cholesterol are being missed under screening guidelines and that statins or cholesterol-lowering drugs, may be their best hope of lowering their risk of early heart attack."
Dissident Voice, a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice by Michael Dawson, 15 January 2009. "As reported by The New York Times’ excellent health columnist Tara Parker-Pope, all use of cellular telephones while operating an automobile — in both “hands-free” and hands-on forms — is as dangerous as drunk driving, research announced today shows. That means many thousands of people in the USA and around the world are being killed each year by the public’s continuing toleration of this ubiquitous practice."
Arizona Daily Star 9 December 2005. "...and trigger a brain-chemical release that stimulates a "shopping high ," health writer Tara Parker-Pope said in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal."
Los Angeles Times: Health 8 May 2010. "One of the perks of being a journalist is that it can give professional license to explore subjects of personal interest and to knock on doors closed to most people -- all in the course of doing your job. Author Tara Parker-Pope has made the most of that opportunity with her excellent new book, "For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage.""
I think that's probably enough to say KEEP - there are plenty more citations about Parker-Pope available from good sources, even if we discount the many by other columnists in the NYTimes itself. WP:AUTHOR asks us to check "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." - Yes, she is, definitely.

  • Keep per WP:POLITICIAN criteria 2. His repeated runs at statewide office have made his name well known across the state and made him a non-trivial presence in statewide political coverage. —LinkTiger (talk) 05:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I take your point, LinkTiger, but I don't quite see that the subject meets this - "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." He's certainly generated press, no doubt, but the references in the article don't meet this, and my quick&dirty google search doesn't find this type of article. I'm quite prepared to accept that I'm wrong on this, of course. Colonel Tom 10:14, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Perennial candidate who has never held elective office. Currently one of two candidates vying for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2012, he does not pass WP:POLITICIAN or WP:MILITARY, and his news mentions are only about his various candidacies, not about him. (I hesitated at first, because at this page, United States Senate election in North Dakota, 2000, about his previous run for the U.S. Senate, his occupation is listed as "state senator". If true that would make him automatically notable as a state legislator, but it does not appear to be true; none of his biographies (for example [8]) say that he was ever in the state senate. So I don't know how that misinformation became part of the election page.) --MelanieN (talk) 21:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have corrected the misinformation at United States Senate election in North Dakota, 2000. --MelanieN (talk) 16:47, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You may consider those sources to be significant coverage. I consider them to be routine, local coverage about the election - not about HIM.. --MelanieN (talk) 01:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They do constitute significant coverage, and they are about him. Each provides biographical information about not only his involvement in the election, but also his past history in politics and the military.
There is no reason to discount these sources as local solely because they are located in North Dakota. According to [9], Sand lives in Bismarck, North Dakota, and none of the above sources are from Bismarck or even near it. Goodvac (talk) 02:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. One of those rare occasions where a mere candidate gets over the bar, I think. That's because (a) he's been a candidate on numerous occasions; (b) he's essentially run for statewide office, there being only one House seat in his state; and (c) the natural statewide press coverage that such campaigns will generate. The distinction between "sources about the candidate" and "source about the election" is a difficult, and in my view, often unnecessary one, to draw. The real question underlying the purpose of WP:BIO is: are the sources sufficient to write a biography? In this case, the answer is yes, but admittedly only barely so. I'd add that this article seems to be largely free of the blatant puffery (or hatchet jobs) that often accompanies articles of this kind. --Mkativerata (talk) 06:03, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unification of gravitational force and strong force

[edit]
Unification of gravitational force and strong force (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence that this is anything other than an idea dreamt up by the author of the article. The author actually said on the talk page "i am trying to give a new way of thinking about the gravitational force and strong force before the scientific community as well as the general public". No source anywhere supports this. There is an attempt to make it look like an argued-out theory, but in fact it is nothing of the sort, as it simply uses vague wording that does not in any way explain the completely ad hoc summoning up of formulas from nowhere. (For example, "For general consideration we need to do necessary adjustments to equation (2) and so we can re-write the equation as..." with no explanation what the "general consideration" is, nor how or why that "consideration" leads to the equation that follows.) The author of the article says "If we treat other fundamental forces in the same way, grand unification will be very easy". I wonder why so many thousands of physicists have struggled for decades, trying to find a solution to this problem, when achieving one would have been "very easy" had they followed this line. What a pity that the author of this aricle has not given a clear enough account that we can actually tell what this new approach is, what it means, or how it can be applied. What a pity that no sources anywhere that I can find support these vague and inexplicit claims. To say that this article should be deleted because it is original research would be to stretch the meaning of "research" almost to breaking point. (Note: I declined a speedy deletion. The article is utterly useless, and deserves to be speedily deleted, but unfortunately it doesn't satisfy any of the speedy deletion criteria, though it comes close to {{db-hoax}}.) JamesBWatson (talk) 16:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is original research, and violates WP:NOR. The author should publish his incredible and fantastic (using the words in a very literal way) discovery in refereed scientific journals, not in Wikipedia. Besides that, it fails verifiability and notability. It cites three Wikipedia articles as references, which is not permitted since said articles are not reliable sources, by definition. Edison (talk) 16:12, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"countries under partial or entire dictatorship" is completely subjetive, who decides which government is dictatorial enough and which one is not? Who decides what is a dictatorship to begin with? The references are not about the issue, but about the trivial intersection of employment rates Cambalachero (talk) 13:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Lacks reliable sourcing to verify the claim that each country listed is under "partial or total dictatorship." Even if some Human Rights Watch listing, newspaper article, academic book, UN or US government listing classified each of these countries as such, no source was presented to show that that classification relates in an encyclopedic way to the unemployment rate, as opposed to the lifespan, literacy rate, average temperature, national sport, height above sea level, average height, common blood types, or any other statistic. Edison (talk) 16:23, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The combination of dictatorial governments with unemployment rates smells like WP:SYNTHESIS to me. I'm not quite sure what the intended inference is, but it seems WP:INDISCRIMINATE at best. Pburka (talk) 17:51, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I'm sure the topics of political freedom and employment are already covered in other articles. No need to put them together. Note also that "unemployment" means different things in different places. Lots of people working "off the books" in the USA are making more money than 90% of the people in the world yet are counted as unemployed. So comparing the figures between countries has little value anyway. Steve Dufour (talk) 18:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Criteria is faulty, listing the countries by unemployment without establishing a link between unemployment and forms of govt. There is room on Wikipedia for listing countries by type of government, but this is not the right title, the right content, or the right criteria, requiring a full rewrite to properly address the topic.

  • Keep I found sources independent of the subject and am adding them and rewriting and filling it out a little. The company is mentioned in several places as one of the worldwide leaders in compression hosiery, orthopedic inserts, and the like (including several Thuringian news articles and a mention as an example in Manager magazin, which is affiliated with Der Spiegel) and apparently its new HQ office building was one of the tallest in Thuringia when built. In my judgment it meets the standard for general notability. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:03, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have now found and added as references a complete article on the company in Süddeutsche Zeitung (1, sadly paywalled) and a couple of substantive mentions in Die Welt (2, 3), plus an op-ed there by Hans B. Bauerfeind himself (4); there are also articles on him and the company in Frankenpost, which is a primarily local newspaper but not a Thuringian one.

  • Keep. This article is innocent until proven guilty. While its deletion is being discussed, many third party scholarly references to the "Dehaene-Changeux Model" will be provided.

  • Comment I am a bit surprised to see a contribution from a newbie nominated for AfD within a few hours of creation, without any attempt at discussion. I agree with Gaijin42 that the article at this point lacks some secondary/tertiary sources, but knowing Dehaene and Changeux, I'd be surprised if these don't exist (it's bed time here I am, so I'm not going to search for them right now).

  • If you click the link to Google Scholar at the top of this page, the very first hit is a 2005 book chapter by Dehaene that has been cited over 700 times (and book chapters normally get very few cites in this field). Dehaene and Changeux are prolific authors, but I don't think they have published 700 articles since 2005, not even together. Ss surely you don't want to argue that these are all self-citations? These two people are among the most highly cited neuroscientists. Changeux is listed in ISIHighlyCited.com. Just have a brief glance at Jean-Pierre Changeux and Stanislas Dehaene. According to the Web of Science, Changeux has been cited almost 50,000 times (h-index of 113) and Dehaene over 18,000 times (h-index of 74). These are not people that engage in excessive self-citations. --Crusio (talk) 09:51, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Their work is, in general, well-cited, but very few people apart from themselves seem to refer to the "Dehaene-Changeux Model(s)." The 726 citations is not to the paper introducing the "Dehaene-Changeux Model," but to follow-up work: it is not the case that the model is being cited 726 times. And I'm not an expert in this area, but it seems the "Dehaene-Changeux Model" discussed in that chapter might be a different model from the one the article is talking about: it seems to me that Dehaene and Changeux collaboratively produced several different models, and that this article is conflating them. -- 202.124.75.21 (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)— 202.124.75.21 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Persistent ad hominem remarks will eventually get you blocked from editing. And apart from that, undiscriminating railing against "deletionists" is not productive. Some people are more inclined to !vote delete than others, there is room for legitimate differences of opinion. But even the most ingrained "deletionist" will !vote "delete" from time to time, because some content we get here is clearly non-notable even upon first delivery. To weed out "false positives" we have mechanisms like WP:PROD and WP:AFD, so that before an article actually is deleted, the community can weigh in and, if possible, provide arguments to avoid deletion. If you want people to listen to you, you will have to present your arguments calmly and without "playing on the man". If every time somebody disagrees with you, you start screaming "deletionist", "non-expert who doesn't know what he's talking about", "uninformed judgment", and whatnot, you will in the end find out that your opinions will not be taken very seriously. Just some advice, you're free to take it or not. --Crusio (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- for now at least. Give the original contributor a chance! I gather he is still working on it, geez. The original nomination was clearly hasty in my opinion. It's a complicated and highly technical set of ideas which deserve more than deletion because it doesn't conform to the style guidelines yet, forsooth. As a user I would much rather see a somewhat baffling set of sentences that nonetheless express something that might be groundbreaking,than some other Wikipedia pages I have seen. If we can have pages about railway bridge architecture in Bulgaria in the 1930s or whatever - this topic certainly meets *that* rather low bar. Or will, I think, if it's allowed the time to do so. Come *on* people. Wikipedia has hundreds of articles that have some flaw or other that languish uncorrected for years. The author should also get his mind around the inevitability of peer review, btw, and possibly quite scathing review at that.
I do not know whether 202.124.73.63 is correct in saying that the contributor confuses two terms, but if he does, he needs to address that. I would however like to point out that while the article may be about work in neuroscience, that work in neuroscience appears to have important implications for cognitive science, an interdisciplinary field where the authorities may be a little hard to come by, especially on writer in a different language. But the article should be added to the portal for computer science. Artificial intelligence would be better if there is a portal for that. Also philosophy or better yet epistemology. (Again, if there is one...). Maybe linguistics if Chomsky is citing him. Maybe education since one of his books is about learning mathematics.... so... guys. Duuuudes. Chill.
I just want to say that the fact that I don't quite understand the article as it is today does not mean that its topic is not notable. The same is true of you. I once watched a 60 Minutes interviewer jeer, yes, jeer at Eric Drexler, clearly thinking his tin foil hat was screwed on too tight. But twenty years later, we ALL know what nanotechnology is, even that interviewer. Well, maybe that interviewer, snicker. But sure. The article needs work, and the reader should not have to impute the importance of its topic. But we All that. I can't assess the science. But -- I took a very quick look on Google. I found this: an article than has been cited more than 200 times. That usually means that people in the field think it's authoritative, or at a minimum, worth debunking. There are many others - that's just the one I grabbed from a two-minute google. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0010027789900061.
Wikipedia.fr seems to think Dehaene is notable btw, look at this: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislas_Dehaene.
They have him categorized as a mathematician, interestingly. I don't have time to translate just now, but the page indicates that he chairs a department at a university that looks important, and belongs to some academies that look pretty mainstream. So I don't think he is a whacko. Noam Chomsky, a well known and even famous linguist, cites him here: http://books.google.com/books?id=G0lJqbM15gsCs. Several times, even. Chomsky doesn't seem to quite agree with him, though -- a super-fast skim gave me the impression that he thinks Dehaene represents conventional wisdom, and interprets his data too narrowly. Just an impression -- I could be wrong. But a further indication that he's not a wild-eyed fringe wingnut.
My fast fast assessment is that Dehaene in and of himself likely meets 1, 3 and 5 of WP:SCHOLAR and maybe some other criteria as well. Just one criteria is potentially enough, right? And I didn't even look at the other scientist, nor the specifics of the model. But I saw enough to make me say we should at least not rush to judgment. Some of the problem may be a language barrier, maybe? If so, I am willing to pull in and translate some French language material. But I have other stuff to do and have already said I'd help rewrite a software topic that's been edited into incoherence in a similar dispute. Let's not be those people. I'm leaning to "not notable" in that case, incidentally, so don't think I am just tender-hearted ;0.
I have a couple of thoughts for the original contributor but I'll do put them in a new section below below as they or may not be pertinent to the topic and don't so much apply to notability. I'll take a stab at improving the categorization somewhat. I would appreciate it if someone could add it to one or more of the portals I mentioned, or point me at set of instructions. Thanks Elinruby (talk)
Realized later that I did not quite spell out my logic, which is that if Dehaene is notable, it's not incredibly unlikely that a model of his (assuming accuracy; I realized that that's been questioned) would be notable in itself. And the article is only a few days old. Table for now, is my thought. If it's abandoned as-is six months from now I may have a different opinion.
  • To me saying "n to erase information entirely from a digital encyclopedia" implies an assumed intent to damage this project. That's not the same as deleting content that does not belong here. Every day people create articles like "Joey is cool". You're certainly not implying that we should keep this information about Joey. So proposing articles for deletion is in and of itself not an activity damaging to the project. Insinuating more, is calling somebody's motives into question. We don't do that kind of things here. --Crusio (talk) 18:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment from Nom Those that did, thank you for assuming good faith. While my quick nom may not be up to regular standards, I still see only self-references in the article, which was my initial and continuing concern. I'm not an expert, but if we can't verify using reliable sources that are not primary sources, there is a criteria "concern" at the very least. Most of us have seen many articles pop up that are based only on primary sources, some are likely fine, others are beyond fringe. The purpose of requiring wp:v and wp:rs is so you don't have to be an expert to know the difference. We don't make exceptions because a few editors claim it is important enough for inclusion without verfication (even if they are correct) as this would be a rule ripe for abusing. Putting all personal issues aside, there is a legitimate concern about the lack of verification from 3rd parties, and this has not changed since the nomination. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:18, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The article has some clear errors, e.g. confusing a neural network with a Multi-agent system. That lends support to the hypothesis above: that the author may be conflating unrelated models by Dehaene and Changeux. The solution is not to rely on primary sources, but to find a reliable secondary source. If there is no reliable secondary source, the article should be deleted. -- 202.124.73.63 (talk) 00:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Demonstrate that these are errors then. The Brain is a decentralized swarm of neurons and glial cells with an evolving connecting rule, synaptic lability and possibly neural darwinism with self-organized patterns being determined as early as through the waves of spontaneous activations in utero. The DCM is merely a set of I&F neurons which are connected in a decentralized way in an attempt to have the set display holistic, self-organized behaviors. since I&F are integrative units they are intelligent. Since there is no rule defining the group behavior while it is composed of intelligent systems it is a Multi-Agent System. Since neurons are programmed in a decentralized way and with a connection rule (just like fish schools by the way) they constitute a swarm. Some neural networks can be multi-agent systems, you have not demonstrated that the two sets do not intersect (and you will not actually). I thus challenge your statement and beg you demonstrate it. --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 11:36, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
references and proofs. So far you said I was confusing a MAS with a neural network. This is like saying I am confusing a square with a rhombus. the DCM is a neural network which is also a MAS and a Swarm, just like a square is also a rhombus.

Cheers --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 11:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible to have a MAS containing one or more agents which are neural networks; but individual neurons are not agents. You appear to have misunderstood the literature in that list. I suspect you might perhaps also have misunderstood the Dehaene-Changeux literature, because the phrase "Dehaene-Changeux model" has been used for their Wisconsin card sort model as well as for other work. If those different models are fundamentally the same, the article should justify its title by explaining why. -- 202.124.72.1 (talk) 14:05, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is why we require references from secondary sources and can't rely exclusively on primary sources or the opinions of the editors themselves, in relation to contentious facts. In general, when the addition of any contentious fact is disputed and no secondary sources can be found to back up the claims of the fact, said fact is removed until it can be verified. Unlike a court of law, the burden is on the individual who is introducing the fact (or the article) to demonstrate that the information can be verified by an outside, reliable source. But that is really an issue for the talk page of the article, not here at AFD. This is another reason the article is problematic as it has been shown to have no secondary references, thus every addition or change has the potential to degrade into a pissing contest. The sources you provide may or may not prove your point on one singular fact, but are not relative to the notability of the article itself. Again, please take this type of content discussion to the talk page of the article, it isn't related to this AFD. Dennis Brown (talk) 11:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Google Scholar shows that the Three parietal circuits for number processing by Dehaene and others has 730 citations. Two non-Dehaene GS results on page 1 show 21 to 36 citations each. This topic has great academic importance based on the numerous citations on Dehaene and Changeux-related works. I see 228 citations, 131 citations, 67 citations and so forth on various, reputable academic presses. GuterTag (talk) 09:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but is the numerosity model referred to in that paper the same as the model described in this article? -- 202.124.73.39 (talk) 07:28, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not. The PLoS paper from which the diagram in the article was taken confirms that this model is different from the other models ("In previous neuronal modeling studies and computer simulations, we illustrated the possible contribution of spontaneous activity to tasks that involve a random search, such as the learning of a temporal sequence, the search for and selection of the correct rule in the delayed response and Wisconsin card-sorting tests, or the discovery of a multistep solution in the Tower of London test.") Most of the citations listed by "keep" !voters apply to those previous models, not to the model described by the diagram in the article. -- 202.124.73.2 (talk) 08:26, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I currently have no time to check that PLoS paper myself, but the phrase you cite does not in any way indicate that a different model is being used. All it means is that in that paper this model is either described or expanded upon. It doesn't say anything like "we abandoned that model and developed another one". --Crusio (talk) 10:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dehaene and Changeux do explicitly say in the PLoS paper that, although they build on past work, the model in the PLoS paper is a new one. The article would be a clear "Keep" if it was about their work generally, since it is notable as a body, but at present the article relates on conflating different things. -- 202.124.73.69 (talk) 02:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only two hits in Google Scholar for this and zero in Google Books. Does not appear WP:notable. Most of the references cited are not about this procedure. Only one wp:primary source appears to be covering it. Uʔ (talk) 21:31, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with primary sources, non-WP:MEDRS; this is probably something related to Tomatis and should be redirected, but I can't find a target article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:49, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll admit I was unsure of it when I moved it out of [{WP:AFC|AFC]], I wasn't aware of WP:MEDRS though.--SKATER Is Back 22:03, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's kind of a mess-- neither does it appear notable, nor does it appear that any sources deal directly with it, much less in secondary reviews as required by MEDRS. I guess it should be a redirect to Tomatis, but that is a redirect to the man-- probably because the whole thing is kinda bogus-- but there might be another target article if anyone can identify it. The dates on the alleged sources are another clue that this is going nowhere, as well as the fact that most of the sources cited are by the "inventor" of the notion, and at least ten years old-- no other significant mentions. This is a redirect, to somewhere. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:41, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If I understand WP:MEDRS correctly, in order to be mentioned in a medical Wikipedia article this procedure must have been discussed by at least one wp:secondary source, even briefly. It's not clear that even that has happened in this case. A redirect with no mention in the target article is probably not a useful one. Uʔ (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, after more research, I think this is a delete. The primary author is chunking in a lot of general text, non-specific to this topic but general background info and poorly sourced at that, but there is still nothing of note (that is, not related to the fellow who coined the term) that I can find under any of the names given for this business. I can't find any target redirect, and can't think of what it would be (but if someone finds one that rolls this whole bogus idea and all of its names into one article, I'll reconsider). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still a delete; although the primary editor continues to plop in sources that aren't directly related to the topic, I still haven't found any indication that it is a notable or enduring practice, and don't think even a redirect is needed-- it's just not a term anyone is likely to ever search on.

  • Delete The article seems to be promoting the work of a single individual or group. I could find nothing in peer reviewed journals that directly supports this technique. I would oppose any redirect for three reasons: No target article seems really appropriate (Alfred A. Tomatis? Auditory processing disorder?). Also, this concept/technique does not appear to be in widespread use and its claimed effects are not verified. Finally, this seems an unlikely search term for anyone looking for information on the subject. --MelanieN (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Future album without a reliable source. We really need a speedy delete category for this. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - An article on Loudwire[20] confirms the release date of the album on December 6th and mentions a future appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Amazon [21] also has a listing for the album (with artwork) and gives the same release date. The first single from the album has already charted on Billboard. Track listings have not been released yet, but the album has been mentioned on several websites already. [22], [23], [24] It might have been a bit crystally to create the article this early, but several sources point to the same confirmed release date. Cyrus Andiron 14:30, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Forgive me, but I'm not sure what point you're arguing here. I listed five separate sources that gave the same release date for the album. The band is notable. Their six previous albums are notable. The first single from the album has already charted on Billboard. I don't think it's a huge stretch to assume that this album will be notable as well when it's released in a month.
  • Comment Here isn't in the article since the article still doesn't have any third-party sources the article may still be deleted. Also, your five sources are not all reliable. Just because the band is notable doesn't immediately confer notability on all of their works.
PS. You're forgiven. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative solution: Temporary redirect to the band's article until sufficient sources can be found to make the article notable by itself. Spidey 104 02:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - According to what documentation or policy? In all of the future album AFD discussions I've participated in, demonstrating notability in the discussion was sufficient and the articles were kept even though they weren't improved or updated. Fezmar9 (talk) 00:16, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Wow, you've gotten off easy then. The issue is that the article doesn't demonstrate notability. Until it does, it can be deleted. Maybe in other future discussions, someone's put your found sources into the article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:42, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. That is wrong. Articles are not deleted if sources can be shown to exist even if those sources are not immediately added to an article. See WP:BEFORE: the crucial wording of which is If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Eluchil404 (talk) 09:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Angolan Consulate General, Houston

[edit]
Angolan Consulate General, Houston (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article does not meet the GNG - there is not significant independent coverage of this topic in third-party, reliable sources. Of the sources listed in the article, 4 are the embassy itself (not third-party), 1 is a map that verifies the consulate exists, and one, a NYT article, it focused on the city of Houston and links with Africa in general, with only a few sentences that mention this consulate. That is trivial coverage at best. Karanacs (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nominator. Karanacs (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/23/business/energy-of-africa-draws-the-eyes-of-houston.html
  • Has the following sentences:
  • "When Angola recently opened its only consulate outside New York, few people here were surprised that Houston was chosen."
  • "The interest of energy companies in West Africa is encouraging ventures in a variety of fields. EDI Architecture, like dozens of other companies here, is betting its future on strengthening ties to Africa. It designed the Angolan consulate here, a luxurious corporate suite discreetly decorated with the burgundy and gold colors of the nation's flag."
  • "EDI Architecture was among the more experienced participants, having already built American-style residential compounds in Angola for Exxon Mobil and Angola's national petroleum company. It is currently building a 20-story office tower in Luanda."
  • I believe that demonstrates significant coverage. The article shows the consulate opening as part of an ongoing trend in Houston's international relations.
  • WhisperToMe (talk) 14:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The last bullet isn't even referencing the consulate. In that one four-page article, there is a sentence that verifies that Angola put a consulate in Houston, and one saying that EDI Architectchure designed the offices and what they look like. The article is ABOUT the "ongoing trend in Houston's international relations"; the consulate is simply one example used. I classify that is trivial. I also couldn't find any other independent reliable sources. Karanacs (talk) 15:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take a look at the example used by Wikipedia:Notability#Notes:
"The one sentence mention by Walker of the band Three Blind Mice in a biography of Bill Clinton (Martin Walker (1992-01-06). "Tough love child of Kennedy". The Guardian. "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice.") is plainly trivial." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1992/jan/06/usa.martinwalker
Let's look at the significance of the "jazz band" thing on the article itself. The article doesn't mention the jazz band as being a significant turning point or being a significant effect on Bill Clinton's life.
While in the article, the Angolan consulate is seen as a significant escalation of Houston's diplomatic relations with Angola and other African countries.
WhisperToMe (talk) 15:06, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with you completely - it's listed as an example, not a "significant escalation", as you put it. Some of the other examples given got paragraphs more coverage and a lot more text on their importances. If you want to nitpick, the guideline also says "The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally expected." The depth of coverage here is tiny and I haven't seen any other coverage in independent reliable sources. Karanacs (talk) 15:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see. The Angola Press says:
"Angolan Consulate Highlights Country's Challenges for Development." Angola Press. 7 November 2006.
"All Africa" is a website that houses news content from many sub-saharan African publications.
The Angola press site is at: http://www.portalangop.co.ao/motix/pt_pt/portal/capa/index.html
WhisperToMe (talk) 15:20, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide access to that article? I can't see the full text, and the synopsis makes it sound like the article is discussing a speech an official at the consulate gave about Angola, not the consulate. Karanacs (talk) 15:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let me post a Wikipedia:Resource request for it. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Wikipedia:Resource_request#Angola_consulate_of_Houston WhisperToMe (talk) 16:06, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, WhispertoMe, for finding full access to that so quickly. I read the article, and it says nothing about the consulate - it's a brief description of a speech about the Angolan economy. Karanacs (talk) 19:57, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural AfD. This article was previously deleted and the deletion was upheld under review. Sources have been added since then, but the question is whether or not the article currently has any notability it was deemed not to have under the previous discussion. Attempts have been made to establish inclusion criteria for Roller Derby at WP:NSPORT, but nothing concrete has been established at this time. Trusilver 01:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Per original reasons. The team is has not competed in any international bouts. The team does not have any members on the national team competing at the roller derby world cup. The team appears to have competed in zero notable intercounty bouts. (As roller derby does not have an established hierarchy to determine quality levels of play, bout notability and attendance are ways of assessing that.) As a league, the article does not appear to be the proposed guidelines for roller derby. Beyond that, the article probably does not meet WP:GNG. Same reasons as the original AfD: They have not been fixed in this article.
  • Comment: User:Dualus has said he was improving this article based on an e-mail to the gendergap list requesting it be fixed. Incorrect. The e-mail was dated 11 October 2011, written by me, and read: I don't know if this has been mentioned on the list before, but there is a roller league derby article up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romsey Town Rollerbillies . I don't particularly care about the outcome either way, but there is an issue of setting precedent for future roller derby articles that may be nominated and that's where I care: However it ends up, it would be nice to have it make sense. So yeah, that. :) End quote. --LauraHale (talk) 01:56, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable edition of Shakespeare. DePRODed with the comment that a merge to Howard Staunton, who is named as the editor, might be appropriate, but it seems that this is not Staunton's book but rather a recent publication that happens to use Staunton's edition (and include the commentaries and illustrations of other authors and artists who likewise did not actually produce this book). Amazon ratings do not confer notability. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meaningless drivel. References in article are mostly dead links, not a good thing for an article which has only existed for barely more than a year. Even if the topic were encyclopedic, it's yet another article which treats professional wrestling as if nothing which took place prior to 1996 matters (see WP:RECENT). To give an example putting it into proper perspective - The Rock 'n' Roll Express and The Midnight Express were still having matches against each other nearly a quarter century after the heyday of their feud, but aren't listed in this article. In comparison, the Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett thing has been going on for what, two years, maybe? Just because someone can watch it on television now doesn't necessarily make it encyclopedic versus any other event. RadioKAOS (talk) 15:10, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Professional wrestling. I believe that's the best solution in general to these sorts of halfhearted attempts at a sidebar to a major article. Once the community of authors at any large article conclude that there is sufficient high-quality material for a separate article, they will split it out, usually after considerable discussion. Also would support outright Delete. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a more appropriate redirect would be to Feud (professional wrestling), which appears to have much the same content as this article. This article is another example of what I see on occasion: create another article with duplicative, gratuitous mentions of high-profile and/or recent events, while OTOH, properly covering the breadth of the topic would make the article a little too unwieldy.RadioKAOS (talk) 02:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The point that notability is not temporary is taken, but the question is whether the character has ever been notable.

Not a notable character suggest delete or merge to List of All My Children miscellaneous characters Wlmg (talk) 05:29, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pending — Either this article's subject, major or minor, is not notable, or her notability is not established. To prove its non-notability, this article has not improved into the depths of either Olivia Richards, Erica Kane, or Pauline Fowler since its creation. In fact, its current version is the best of all and absent from real-world perspective: the casual editors either do not know this fictional character or do not have interest to improve this article. However, this fictional character has suffered from autism spectrum disorder, according to the article itself; therefore, there may be some hints of notability. Too bad the current news do not cover this fictional character. The potential primary sources are periodicals of soap operas and self-published episodes; the third-party and independent sources should mention relatively this fictional character and autism spectrum disorder. Unfortunately, without proper sources as of this state, this article cannot prove this fictional character's notability to either stand on its own or merge into List of All My Children miscellaneous characters. And IMDB, the user-submitted website itself, is not reliable at any means except for self-references and self-publishings. --Gh87 (talk) 05:54, 19 October 2011 (UTC) This article should not be the substitute for websites that dedicate to soap operas and their entities; unfortunately, it only contains plot summary which is against what Wikipedia is not. --Gh87 (talk) 05:57, 19 October 2011 (UTC) --Gh87 (talk) 06:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This discussion has been relisted twice. What gives? Anyway, no one knows this character, and the current news do not cover many fictional soap opera characters anymore. Why is an article of this non-notable character created in the first place? To substitute websites that dedicate soap operas? The fact that she has autism spectrum disorder does not even help meet WP:GNG, even if it meets guidelines of WikiProject Soap Operas. I don't know a soap opera dedicator who is an expert of the article's subject, and I don't even know some casual editor of Wikipedia who is an expert of this article's subject enough to improve the article itself. She is not Erica Kane or Pauline Fowler; she should receive sufficient coverages from reliable periodicals and print materials, like Olivia Richards. --Gh87 (talk) 07:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC) Why is it possible to preserve history and redirect to List of All My Children characters, while copyvio has become intact? --Gh87 (talk) 07:24, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep What does not being in the current news have to do with it? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia , not a tv guide. We cover what was notable at any previous time, including the earlier history of the medium. As a significant character in a major fiction, there should be an article, or perhaps a part in a combination article--which however I am reluctant to combine because that's usually the prelude to gradually removing the information. That we have no current editor who wants to expand it is absurdly irrelevant--editors come and go, and , while they're here, they add information, and the information stays. That's how we have built, the encyclopedia from the beginning. There will always be new hobbyists. DGG ( talk ) 06:51, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All but two references are credits databases, which do not indicate notability. Of the other two refs, one is a Wikipedia article (i.e., an inappropriate ref), and one is a store blog interview. --Nat Gertler (talk) 05:19, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
the interview is not a store blog, its a well known music conference / production website, of the database listings, allmusic & albumcredits are of the upmost highly noted credit sites on the internet. i will take off the wikipedia reference now... how many people must i get to vote "do not delete" until the page is validated, i know many others who would agree that this article is wiki worthy.
There is no set "vote count"; you should read the page on WP:CONSENSUS to understand how decisions are reached on Wikipedia. You should not be reaching out to people who you think will support your opinion -- see WP:CANVAS to understand those guidelines. And the question is not one of the quality of the databases, but that listing in a database - particularly a good (i.e., comprehensive) one - does not connote notability. They can be handy for showing that someone did something specific, but not that that makes him particularly worth of attention. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected on "store blog"; I misread the site's description of "production shopping experience" as being where producers do shopping, rather than where one shops for producers. However, a single interview, particularly on a site where they are selecting interviewees from among the site's members, is not a sufficient indication of notability. Again, review WP:NMUSIC for guidelines of what denotes notability in musicians. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:33, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with that thought; after that, we should also check to make sure that the people left are actually family members; just because they share the same last name doesn't necessarily make them closely related. A quick look through seems to show that there will be enough left for a valid article. Also, a quick glance at the history seems to show an awful lot of IP additions; it may well be that once this is cleaned up, we can 1) semi-protect the article, and 2) add an edit notice to both the article and talk page that clearly indicates that the page requires all listed people to have an article or a ref verifying the office held and that the person is related to others in the same family (try editing List of shopping malls in India for an example).

This article is tagged for copyright infringements; it's already reported in Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 October 19. With the article short right now, this is the 2nd nomination for the article as AfD. Right now, this character is not notable. Probably he was in the 1980s to promote awareness of drug addiction, but this article does not receive interest from casual editors and experienced Wikipedians. Even those who dedicate soap operas did not address the problems of copyright infringements that I have seen lately and did not have interests to prove and establish this character's notability. Right now, I cannot propose a merge to either List of All My Children miscellaneous characters because of recent reports of copyright violations or List of All My Children characters because it is a brief list with inadequate summaries.

  • Merge to appropriate character list; whether there have been or are currently copyvios on certain lists is irrelevant to whether the lists as topics should ultimately exist and whether this should be merged there. I don't see a valid deletion rationale at any rate; the nom appears to state that the character probably was notable in the 1980s, but "right now, this character is not notable". As with all of his other recent AFD noms, I don't see any indication that he has followed WP:BEFORE but instead nominated this purely on the current internal state of the article, and on his perception that no one has been working to improve this article. It's additionally a bad idea to have listed this here before the copyvio issue has been resolved, as that just muddies the waters, because whether an article currently is a copyright infringement is a completely separate issue from whether there ultimately should be an article on that topic. postdlf (talk) 02:37, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • I just made probably some sarcasm. He is to me non-notable, even with an actor's award for this character. There have been no experts and no non-fictional coverages on this character as far as I know. Even one documentary of All My Children is insufficient to help this article stand alone. Recently, I have realized that notability should not be temporary, which this character is no longer after the 1980s. --Gh87 (talk) 19:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a significant character in a major fiction. Certainly at least it can be merged to a combination article, which should be more than a mere character list. NOT PLOT refers to our overall coverage of the work as a whole--obvious articles of particular elements of it will discuss those elements. DGG ( talk ) 06:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is he significant? He has no children himself, and he hadn't adopted a child for life. The only significance would be his failed fling with his sister, Erica Kane, and drugs that hurt. Even the current producers do not want to introduce him again since 2005, and veteran casual viewers do not remember him as anybody other than a brother of Erica Kane. The fact that this article violates copyrights does not help matters. --Gh87 (talk) 08:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe what Im reading here, Wikipedia is not an encyclopaedia of everything, the article you refer to is illustrated very well with many examples already, I just don't see how there is any need at all for a place for fans to keep adding more, how or why is an ever growing list of examples from fiction in anyway noteable Jasonfward (talk) 10:01, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
One of the meanings of "encyclopedic" is "comprehensive." Provided this is limited to notable works of fiction that make some substantive use of this paradox (i.e., not a mere reference or disposable Family Guy-style cutaway gag), then it's not only a good complement to Bootstrap paradox, but an index of articles that make use of the same concept. I see no good reason not to expand that from the few examples given in the parent article, because this isn't so commonplace as to make the list completely trivial, indiscriminate, or meaningless. postdlf (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I just don't see how the article contributes anything, it neither explains the paradox, its too long to illustrative and I cannot for the life of imagine how anyone would find the article useful, it is as far as I can tell, just a place for fans to post their latest spot of the paradox in their favourite fiction, nothing anyone has said here addresses why or how the article is notable at all, and right now I really don't think it is. Jasonfward (talk) 18:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Usefulness would be to an author, trying to create a new form of the paradox; a list of forms already used would be very useful. htom (talk) 23:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. A serious problem with this list is that it is mostly original research. The list should be pruned back to notable examples only: examples that are discussed by reliable secondary sources and identified by these sources as being instances of the bootstrap paradox. Pruned that way, the remaining list will very likely have a manageable length and can be put back in the main article where it came from, Bootstrap paradox.  --Lambiam 01:15, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • commentSecond party reviewers that you want to cite probably won't mention that the bootstrap paradox is involved because it would be considered a spoiler. They have different rules than Wikipedia has about spoiling mentions. htom (talk) 05:44, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • On the contrary, reviewers routinely give away the plot. For the notable examples on the list, it isn't that hard to find secondary sources explicitly stating that the plot hinges on a time-travel paradox; for example, for The Technicolor Time Machine, in the book Harry Harrison by Leon E. Stover, and for The End of Eternity, in the book Isaac Asimov by William F. Touponce.  --Lambiam 19:07, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per my comment above. I don't agree with Lambiam that it should be pruned only to those works whose use of this concept are noted in secondary sourcing. If the work of fiction has an article and it is verifiable that it makes substantive use of this concept (even if only from the work of fiction itself), then it belongs on the list. But that's a matter for normal editing and discussion to resolve, because AFD is not cleanup. postdlf (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • As far as I can see, everything at the entry for Back to the Future after the one reference given there is original research. The speculative resolution of the paradox offered there that possibly Chuck Berry was not directly inspired, or that the creator is a Chuck Berry of another universe, has an ubernerd quality to it. We should keep such OR out by only allowing content that can be sourced to reliable secondary sources.  --Lambiam 19:25, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a direct cut-and-paste from, or was cut-and-pasted to, Kollar's BR Bullpen page. Aside from the AfD trolling, this is another Alex specialty; I've seen it 50 times.

I guess we're reading different pages then, because I've seen repeated requests at Bullpen for you to source your contributions, as required when cutting and pasting from here to there or from there to here.

Copying over the following from the other deletion discussion I opened at the same time with the same problem): I just want to clarify on (at least my interpretation) of how lists work. We can have lists about "things of type X" in the real world. We cannot have "lists of articles about things related to X." The former is an actual list of content; the latter is solely a navigational aid, a kind of crude table of contents. I have no problem with lists that duplicate categories; I have a problem with lists that are "self-referential". As far as I can see, nothing in our policies covering lists allow us to have any type of article titled List of articles about .... And it shouldn't. We have so many different ways of categorizing information, both reader-facing (lists of topics, portals, outlines, glossaries, overview articles, dab pages), editor-facing (Wikiprojects, noticeboards), and dual-facing (categories, and the search box)...why do we need, in just a select few instances, yet another type of organizational tool? It's simply the mark of a bad product to have too many different organizing schemes. More than one is good (I'm thinking here of how a textbook has a ToC, an Index, and a glossary; or how help for Microsoft products has a search box, a glossary, and an Index); too many is redundant. Too many guarantees that one list or the other isn't fully updated. Too many guarantees that one list or another gets to be used for POV pushing (consider the problems with had with Ethnic categories and Wikiprojects aggressively pushing themselves onto articles). Maybe I'm raising issues that go beyond one (or two) deletion discussions, and need to be raised in a larger forum. But I think that we have to consider these things as we make these individual decisions. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, but Zangar's suggestion to change the name is a good one and it provides the key to all this. "Index of...articles" are very well established and thought appropriate (see Category:Indexes of articles). These are navigational aids rather than articles and they are kept in main space. Whether any particular list is appropriate should be discussed on its own individual merits. In this case the list is well organised and so is more helpful for many purposes than an alphabetically ordered category. It can be wholly appropriate for lists and categories to co-reside (WP:CLN). Portal:Contents/Lists provides a good way into this area for those interested. With relatively little development it could become an outline — substantially more would be needed to meet portal guidelines.Thincat (talk) 11:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is all repeated information. There are already long-standing number-ones lists, for various countries and several U.S. Billboard charts, that are arranged by year (most notably Template:USNumber1s). This does nothing but combine 2010 and 2011 together. Looks like incorrect use of decorative flags (WP:FLAG) and an ongoing, unecessary tally of current pop artists at the bottom. There really is no need to have this article in the encyclopedia when we have this data elsewhere. If anything, attention should be made to improving the by-year lists already in place. - eo (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article, basing it partly on the similar series of articles for the UK Singles Charts mainly because in my opinion there is substantial advantage in presenting all this data in one table in a more reduced manner in order to enable our readers to go over a much larger amount of data faster and have the capability of sorting all this data automatically and quickly. In addition, in my opinion this article has also a substantial advantage in that it also contains various statistics for the entire decade which is not available elsewhere in Wikipedia. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't see the advantage. The UK lists are the only ones (to my knowledge) that group things by-decade, as opposed to by-year. The colors, the flags, the tables, the statistics all seem excessive, unnecessary and against WP:NPOV. A simple, neutral layout with a week-by-week table has been in place for years now, with most recent years (approx. 2000-onwards) having a concise intro paragraph and a few small images added to the top of the article. I think we need an enhancement to the 1940-1999 by-year lists rather than yet another way to present the same information. - eo (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - per Phoenix B 1of3. There is no requirement to have a discussion before creating an article. And any content fork concerns will be mitigated over time, as 2011 turns into 2012, etc. While there may be benefit in improving the 1940-1999 lists, that is not an argument to delete this one. And Wikipedia is hardly being "overrun" by anything. Rlendog (talk) 20:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I still don't see most recent comments addressing the issue of duplication.

Why have multiple articles displaying the same thing? - eo (talk) 21:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is some overlapping information, but there is information in this list not in the others and vice versa. And those differences will grow as the 2010s continue.

      • The entire thing is an overlap. The only difference is that this article groups together a decade, so it's basically overlapping info that will be present in ten individual by-year lists. - eo (talk) 23:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The original version of this article described "Infotention" as a neologism, and that's what it appears to be despite coming from an illustrious source, Howard Rheingold. The only references given relate directly to the term's inventor. There's almost nothing on Google Scholar despite this being apparently important from an academic perspective.

Actor/director who might reach Wikipedia's notability threshold someday but isn't quite there yet. The article was tagged as a BLP-proposed deletion but that was removed after the addition of a couple of references. I disagree with that move: one of the references is to the subject's website while the other is to a fairly shallow interview on an Indiana Jones fansite so neither qualify as reliable sources. I found two other interviews online ([37] and [38]) and here also, I don't believe this should be considered significant coverage in reliable sources. Mr. Kleyla's career as an actor is not significant since all his roles were very minor (some are in fact uncredited). He has also directed a feature film (The Road to Canyon Lake) which, as he put it himself, was shot on a very small budget. As far as I can tell, the film was not distributed in theatres. He has also directed a feature documentary about Indiana Jones fandom which, again as far as I can tell, was never widely distributed. All in all, the subject fails to meet both the general notability requirement and the actor-specific one. Pichpich (talk) 22:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Hardly someone will compose such information for any reason. Common sense is good enough evidence. If someone will be interested in person - let them get information. Some more refs and material - it will be fine. (talk) 18:03, 5 November 2011 (UTC))[reply]
  • Comment The article will definitely benefit from a sandblasting... but it's sourcable. For example, his 2008 fanfilm Indyfans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory has screened and received coverage[39][40] and informaton about this fellow's background can be gleaned from and sourced by such coverage. His work as a Disney Imagineer does not catch the eye of the press, and I agree that his career is short. But as the coverage of his film work just barely tweaks at WP:CREATIVE, perhaps a solution would be to suggest the creation of an article about his film to which this BLP might be partialy merged and redirected. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think this comes anywhere close to what we need in terms of in-depth coverage in secondary sources. What you're pointing to is extremely weak coverage that's barely concerned with Kleyla himself. One of the reasons why we very much prefer coverage focused on the subject itself is that tangential things are never properly fact-checked. Based, perhaps, on the sources, our article writes that "Kleyla then went on to star as Bobby Fricker in the film Now and Then". I'm not sure where that came from but Kleyla certainly did not star in that movie as anyone who's seen it will tell you. According to IMDb (which is usually pretty good with such things), the role is in fact uncredited and it's at the very least clear from Now and Then (film) that his part was very minor. Now maybe this is taking the cue from this USA Today article [41] about the Indiana Jones movie which writes that Kleyla starred in Gods and Monsters. Under any reasonable definition of "starring", this is demonstrably incorrect and I'm pretty sure the USA Today would have fact-checked this properly had the article been a profile of Kleyla. Pichpich (talk) 06:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm not saying at all that the fellow passes WP:ENT or WP:CREATIVE, only that sources that might be used to creative a stub article on a minor film contain information about this fellow's work. I'm a believer in WP:WIP and WP:IMPROVE, and try to seek reasonable alternatives that build the encyclopedia. Toward his fanfilm... when we guage it against coverage of a major studio blockbuster, his film barely tweaks the meter... but while a minor indie project, it does have coverage that address the project directly and in detail. Sure Kleyla fails WP:PEOPLE... but a case can be made for his minor film meeting WP:Notability (film), even if just barely, and that unwritten article could include some information about the filmmaker being contextually included. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 14:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (per below, now fine with redirect) Even assuming it could be verified, I don't see anything that meets WP:NACTOR or WP:DIRECTOR. The coverage of the one documentary doesn't seem to meet DIRECTOR #3, nor does it seem to qualify as a "well-known work, or collective body of work". And the coverage of him generally is not substantial enough to meet WP:BASIC. Novaseminary (talk) 07:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the new article Indyfans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory, the one place where it currently makes sense for this fellow to have a sourced mention. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Redirecting "Brandon Kleyla" to Indyfans and the Quest for Fortune and Glory seems reasonable. I am not a huge proponent of redirecting people's names to articles about group projects like films (group members redirecting to band names or the like, though, seems fine and different somehow); the search function will bring up the article anyway without the implication that the person is so much associated with the project. But this film really is mostly his (written, directed, edited, etc.), so the redirect wouldn't be misleading or do any other harm. I would still delete the current article first, though, and then create the redirect because so much of this is unsourced, possible BLP material (though not negative, it doesn't seem). Novaseminary (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm basically ok with that compromise. (See Michael's talk page for what still bugs me) I also agree that the article should be deleted first and then redirected. I suppose I could retract my nomination but that wouldn't allow the delete-then-redirect option, right? Pichpich (talk) 04:21, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Most Ghits are mirrors of or sourced by this WP article. The few that might not be are blogs or other non-WP:RS sources. Gbook hits are false positives, or are one of those recent WP-based slapped-together things. I've removed from the article the claim of recognition by the American Rare Breed Association, which is contradicted by their website. Given the lack of evidence, I suppose that this could be a hoax, but I suspect that it's just a non-notable, failed attempt to create a new breed. Fails WP:GNG. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you sure? - I am not any sort of expert on this, but a straight Google search gives:
Chicago Tribune - Jan 26, 1957 -"A Canadian pointer owned by Richard Papa of Toronto won the national amateur shooting dog championship today. Tyson's Sky lull Flash. a 6 year old, ..." (google cache text)
and a whole lot more entries in newspapers from 1957 (The Baltimore Sun), 1920 (Schenectady Gazette) "Dogs, Birds Poultry . of genuine Saskatchewan Canadian pointer pups, natural mothers for fox or rabbit.", ... these certainly can't be from Wikipedia, and they certainly aren't newly-invented. Whether "Canadian Pointer" is a generic description or a known breed is beyond my knowledge, but we can't dismiss it so hastily. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:30, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I am sure that neither the article, nor this AfD, nor my own web searches have unearthed the substantial coverage from reliable sources needed to satisfy the notability requirement for an encyclopedia article in WP. A couple of points:
  1. There are plenty of false positives in the Gnews searches. One of the biggest causes seems to be bad OCR misidentifying articles containing "Canadian painter", e.g., here and here.
  2. The real breed of dog, while often referred as the English Pointer, is actually called just "pointer"--see Pointer_(dog_breed)#Name. The effect of this is that there will be plenty of false or ambiguous hits that reference a pointer that happens to be from Canada. Take your first example, from the Chicago Tribune. The NY Times item on the same story calls the dog a "Toronto pointer". The Sports Illustrated version identifies the dog as just "pointer" and the owner from "Toronto".
  3. I can't actually find the 1957 Baltimore Sun item that you mention. I will concede that the Schenectady Gazette link is likely to be a real hit, however (a) it is a solitary classified ad--hardly substantial or WP:RS, and (b) the phrase "cheap to introduce the breed" and its date, 1920, is perfectly in line with the picture painted by the Canadian Pointer article itself--that a small group of enthusiasts attempted to develop a new breed "in the late 19th century", with their attempt ending in failure when the "American Kennel Club...refused to recognize the Canadian Pointer" in 1937, and forever afterwards, or so it (mythically?) says.
  4. If anyone can find substantial coverage from reliable sources, I will be happy to look again. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and Merge I think this should be merged under Pointer (dog_breed), I do believe this article does have its place on wikipedia, despite the lack of sources. Jab843 (talk) 22:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The only hint of a reference (here) does not appear to be reliable. The site, along with the article, are the only two mentions I can find concerning " Canadian Pointer Club of America" which might indicate some information was used from the site. Following a link, [42] leads to a Kennel site with the title; "ENGLISH" POINTERS. A link here mentions "Canadian Pointers" but refers to Pointers from Canada and not a breed. A suggestion to merge the article to Pointer (dog_breed) would do nothing but degrade an article that already struggles from multiple problems including a very short lead, advertisement (here), lack of citations (tagged), and other problems. The end result would be a bigger problematic article with a section that totally fails notability. The main problem is that I read somewhere that if an article (or section) does not have a source or reference it does not have a place on Wikipedia. I can look this up but I am sure it is known. I keep running into articles on Wikipedia that do not have any references, some created as far back as 2001, with many that have antiquated reference tags, and can't help but wonder if policies are an intended criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia or just a suggestion that is negated by the policy to ignore all rules.
