Delete. This is not eligible for speedy deletion, folks ("He recorded couple of songs with the producers, from which came the famous songs within the Ghana communities..."), but that does not mean it should be kept. With respect to the author, this article does not pass the test of notability and has very little in the way of support from reliable sources that can verify the content. NTox · talk 02:07, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Considering the underhand manner in which the individual used multiple accounts, and explicit self-promotion in the article, I simply can't infer the credibility of the claim of involvement in producing 'famous songs'. Meph^talk 04:07, 3 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I think that you're assuming too much. The A7 criterion is intended to cover claims that are obviously false, of which any reasonable person would agree. I don't think that applies here. It would of course be different if the writer had said "one of the most famous songs in the world", but this statement refers to fame "within the Ghana communities". Also note that the accusation of sockpuppetry here, whether true or not, is serious. In any case, I still advocate deletion. With respect, NTox · talk 04:50, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly a mix of WP:HOAX and a lack of notability. There's not a source I can find that says he's done anything with T-pain, I highly doubt he's played himself as a "main role" in Walking Dead, and even the article notes that rumours he's getting a record deal are unconfirmed.

Joe Luginbill

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

Subject doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable.

What I could find in the secondary sources is, that he is part of a high school jazz band and a student representative at the school. I have been unable to find any other relevant secondary sources.

"Joe's Kitchen" is about a week old and consists of two videos, so it seems unlikely to be notable as well. ∫e^b²+1_(talk) 22:00, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I see one Chicago Tribune source, which is considered reliable, what about that? TBran dl ey 16:57, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The link appears to be defunct, but I believe this page to contain the same story. He's only mentioned in passing as being a trumpet player of a non-notable high school jazz band. ∫e^b²+1_(talk) 22:38, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I see no significant coverage about the subject. There's quotes from him and mentions of him in local media related to the band but that falls well short of significant coverage. It does not appear that the Tribune article is significant coverage. The rest of the sourcing is unreliable sources. My own searches turn up nothing better in the way of sourcing. -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Economist Intelligence Unit. In Britain, he is a reasonably high-profile commentator on matters related to economics, but this always seems to be as the public face of the Economist Intelligence Unit - and the various Google searches tend to confirm this. Very reasonable search term and he deserves the mention he has in his employer's article - but probably not his own separate article. PWilkinson (talk) 12:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Article may need refocused, but it appears that the subject may meet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) and should be kept on that basis alone until more can be determined. Citations of his academic contributions are referenced, and several more appear to be listed at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=O'Brien%20RS%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=9827510. If these are important in this field, then it's a strong keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celtechm (talk • contribs) 23:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He is the director of Caring for People (CP), a private home care company. He is not an academic and only has co-authored a few journal articles. The other articles that Celtechm found on www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov are from two different RS O'Briens. One is a physicist in Australia. One of the journal articles listed in Wikipedia O'Brien article is from the Australian O'Brien. Not close to meeting WP:ACADEMIC. Previously, the article contained references, but they were to blogs O'Brien has written on sites owned by CP. There are no independent, reliable references. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Bgwhite (talk) 08:08, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This isn't even close. He fails all notability tests. The article reads like an employee's bio page on a company website, written by a PR or HR person. It even says, "While at Notre Dame, he was a member of the Notre Dame Glee Club and served as the Vice President of the Glee Club in 1994 & 1995." ;) We won't even discuss all the NPOV issues.

The article could probably be improved to meet requirements, if someone has access to sources, but most of the editing has been from accounts now blocked as sockpuppets. Most of the content seems appropriate if it can be verified, but the fleet lists are unlikely to be maintainable to Wikipedia standards. Peter James (talk) 21:02, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure fleet lists also goes against WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:03, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Peterkingiron. There are unlikely to be reliable secondary sources to establish the notability of this subject. Wikipedia is not intended to be a travel guide and people should not be looking on here for information better found on bus company web sites which are more likely to be accurate. Fleetlists can only come from primary sources or bus enthusiast blog sites and should not be reproduced here per WP:PRIMARY.--Charles (talk) 21:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Productive and unproductive labour

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. Cliff Smith 19:12, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is pure WP:SYNTH. The sources cited don't so much discuss the topic of the article, but rather provide grist for the article's thesis. It reads like a third-rate term paper in a bad way. It's possible that there is an article to be written with this title, but this article has empty intersection with that hypothetical one. I think it'd be best to start from a clean slate. This nomination is related to this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unproductive labour in economic theory. I would have bundled them, but the other one's already been commented on, so I thought it best to keep them separate. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are a couple sources showing in the notes that indicate this is a matter of academic concern among adherents and students of the labor theory of value. The piece already at AfD on unproductive labour in economic theory should go away, this one should stay, in my opinion. That said, there are fairly large sourcing issues here that need to be rectified eventually. Carrite (talk) 23:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC) Last edit: Carrite (talk) 23:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "It reads like a third-rate term paper in a bad way. It's possible that there is an article to be written with this title, but this article has empty intersection with that hypothetical one." — That's an editing matter. Carrite (talk) 23:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is no doubt that the topic is notable (just look at the Google book and scholar search). It is a difficult topic to write a good article on; economic theorists have a range of differing and incompatible views on the topic, so we cannot rely on some generally accepted view, and even those who offer a review of various approaches often have their own strong (often Marxist) point of view. However, it is not an impossible task; there is sufficient agreement on how various notable economists viewed the topic (but not on how valid these views are) to allow for an NPOV OR-free article. --Lambiam 01:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was reading a paper by George J. Stigler that mentioned this issue just the other day. It described it as one of Adam Smith's great unfortunate sucsses. Perhaps if we include the arguments he makes the article would be more balanced. The topic is notable, in any case, and any instance of wp:synth can be addressed on a case by case basis.

Tagged for notability 2 years ago; still fails notability with a single non-independent source. Searching turns up no reliable and independent sources supporting notability. In my view, fails also for having no reliable sources. Was PRODed last month and declined (tag removed). Prior to this just one significant (unreferenced) edit in the last year.

Keep per WP:ENT and continue improvements. It is a pity that it sat unimproved for 2 years... but sources existed for improvement. That her career has not sat idle worked to our advantage. So I just took the version and gave it a facelift and added verifcation of her career.[2] The article needs to be renamed Camilla (actress) because her verifiable work in theater and television pushes at WP:ENT while her work as a singer does not seem to. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:12, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Good suggestion but marginal substantiation. All of the sources which you (very commendably) added are passing mentions only (possibly excepting the subscription source, which I could not access). I realise that notability for an actress is established by multiple significant roles rather than by significant media coverage, but doubt whether Camilla has met this requirement: more than half of the new sources relate to a single reality TV show where she seems to have made an early exit. The total amounts to appearances in about three TV shows, none of them a really significant role, and nothing since 2006. This is not, in my view, a notable career. Having said that, however, you deserve credit for trying to save the article, which is very much in the WP spirit! David_FLXD (Talk) 05:49, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you. The article you brought to AFD was indeed in a sorry state and was screaming for cleanup... needing someone to go through it and address format and style and provide the verifiability required in a BLP. So I spent a very few minutes addressing BLP issues so a better article can await consensus. I kept in mind that 1), a career begun only in 2002 did not halt in 2006, 2) WP:V does not mandate that verification of an WP:ENT assertion must itself be substantial coverage, as SNGs are set in place for situations where assertions require verifiability when sigcov is lacking, 3) Wikipedia is not about only the most notable actors ever and includes those who might be deemed as just notable enough, and 4), while related, WP:V and WP:N are not the same thing. Certainly this actress does not have the level of notability as someone like Angelica Huston, but it might be seen that the spirit of WP:ENT is met through looking at a career totality... in this minor actress having recurred in 2005 as Bethany Mortimer in 5 episodes of Footballers' Wives, in 2009 as Leigh Anne in 6 episodes of Lunch Monkeys, in 2010 in 3 episodes of Push, again in 2010 as Zahra in 5 episodes of Peep Show, as Natalie in 2 episodes of Top Boy, in 2011 as Jasmine in 2 episodes of White Van Man, and in 2012 as Alice Hadley-Richards in (so far) 3 episodes of Doctors... roles where her characters were not simply forgettable background but were significant to plot and development of an ongoing storyline. If she ever gets her own TV series rather than guest in so many, or if she steps away from episodic television to win a few film roles, a case for notability would be certainly be stronger.

Disputed PROD. This article is about a U.S. Naval Airman who was missing in action in Operation Desert Storm, and whose remains have not been recovered. The PROD contesting compared his case to Scott Speicher, but similar articles do not make others permissible if they fail to meet policy, and the subject of this article, regrettably, does not.

DELETE as being TOO SOON for an article. REDIRECT sourcable title to film director Perarasu. Despite the AFD's findsources template not being too helpful, secondary reliable sources DO exist for this planned sequel.[3][4][5][6][7][8] However, in looking at WP:NFF and the fact that the few available sources are so very recent, we see this planned film does not have the persistant and ongoing coverage required to even be considered as an exception to guideline. Per policy, it is reasonable that it might be spoken of and sourced in director Perarasu's article as his most recent work-in-progress, even if not yet meriting a separate article.

This was pointed out to me during my AFD of another character from the same book at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tak (Stephen King), and my rationale for deletion for this article is pretty much the same here as there. The article is comprised entirely of plot summary, and while looking for sources there are hits, these are also just plot summaries, and thus can not be used to verify any real world analysis or critical thought. Per WP:NOTPLOT and WP:FICT, articles on fictional elements need to contain more than just pure plot summary, and I am unable to find any sources that would allow for that to happen.

Delete/redirect to The Regulators. Much like the article for Tak, the character of Seth Garin just doesn't have any notability outside of the fictional universe that King has written. This is pretty much just a regurgitation of the plot from Regulators. This might serve as a redirect to the book, though. I'm slightly doubtful that this would be a big search term, but hey- redirects are cheap. In any case, there's just no individual notability here outside of the book and even if there was, this article is written in an in-universe and semi-unencyclopedic style and would need almost an entire re-write. It's not nearly as bad as the Tak article, but it'd need to be rewritten in parts if it was kept.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 22:40, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all -- nominators and contributors in an Afd have, I believe, an obligation to actually read the article(s) in question before participating. How much effort should they put in to informing themselves?

Another contributor above suggests redirecting all these articles to Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay -- even though none of these individuals was from Yemen. I suggest this reflects a lack of interest in being informed of the articles in question. Geo Swan

He added that he "did not want to tell them that he was from Iran as he had heard that they killed Iranian diplomats."

Afghanistan	Moheb Ullah Borekzai	Borekzai was released at the height of Guantanamo's what is believed to have been Guantanamo's largest and longest hunger strike. His report, and that of another Afghan, released at the same time, was the first public description of the hunger strike. His release came about two months after world-wide riots when observant muslims were outraged by accounts that GIs desecrated the Koran, including throwing copies in latrines. Borekzai confirmed that Koran desecration had been widespread, but there hadn't been any incidents in 2005, following an announcement of the camp's P.A. system telling captives that guards were not authorized to desecrate the Koran.

I accept, at face value, that our nominator genuinely believes they complied with WP:BEFORE.

Comment the references (Wall of text above) are either primary sources or only give passing reference to the subject (fails WP:SIGCOV). the sources fail to establish notability

Redirect all to the appropriate 'Fooian detainees at Guantanamo Bay' lists. Keep arguments fail WP:1E/WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTINHERITED. Detainees are not notable simply for the fact they are being detained, and they are not notable because the detainment facility balooned in notability following their detainment; most sources above are only passing mentioned. Being mentioned in an article does not make one notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Moheb Ullah Borekzai, which is definitely more than a BLP1E, and some or all of the others. The prominence of the Guantanamo Bay detainees, the exorbitant amounts of money spent to get some countries to accept just a few, is evidence of their notability. I think the ones with few sources are best kept for consistency. I understand that this conflicts with a decision made early on about September 11th casualties, but that is one that could benefit from some rethinking anyway.

That said, it would be most prudent for Geo Swan to focus his efforts on backing up this material to a Wiki project elsewhere while it is simple to do so. Wnt (talk) 20:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - These recent terrorism related AfD's all appear to be for articles that are reasonably sourced and have histories dating back years. At first glance these guys appear to be WP:BLP1E's, but many have garnered WP:INDEPTH write-ups and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE beyond just the initial event. The AfD seems to suggest that there is a historical precedent set for deleting these articles, but while the articles are old, the AfD's all started in just the past two weeks. Nearly all have a recommended merge or redirect target, yet they all end up deleted. And then in some cases, someone recreates the recently deleted page as a redirect to the specified target, but only after the page is deleted. This selective deletion removes any potentially useful page history for the redirect, violating WP:PRESERVE and WP:R#KEEP. Moreover, these group nominations appear to have been done half-assardly because they don't all conform to a specific template or category (aside from being enemies of the US). I want to assume good faith, but these issues seem really fishy. --Joshuaism (talk) 07:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All per WP:GNG, these articles all present information about significant detainees that have garnered wide coverage in independent, reliable sources. Furthermore, the nominator appears to have failed to consider WP:BUNDLE when nominating this group (as well as others) as none of these articles contain identical content, hoaxes, spam, or identical products (or people). I also note that previous AfDs (linked above) by this same nominator have led to WP:SELDEL of their page histories when merged with other articles, violating WP:PRESERVE and WP:R#KEEP. I also take note that a small group of admins and editors all with pro-American, pro-Military bias beyond the general WP:SYSTEMIC BIAS appear to follow AfD nominations by DBigXray very closely with votes to delete and rather quick admin closures to delete (I'm looking at you Bushranger, RightCowLeftCoast, AnotherClown, Bearian, etc.). I'm suprised by how few of DBigXrays nominations get relisted, even when there are as few as 3 comments to delete. What is going on here? --Joshuaism (talk) 03:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not going to reply to your rant above for fear of derailing the discussion as you evidently chose to attack editors rather than address the articles.

Note to closing administrator -- First, I suggest these dissimilar articles should not have been shoehorned into a bulk nomination, as the individuals do not have enough in common.

Second, no offense to those who voiced WP:METOO votes, but Afd is not a vote. I suggest the closing administrator has the authority and an obligation to discount all WP:METOO votes. These articles are dissimilar enough I suggest contributors who assert all the articles are {{blp1e}}, without commenting on particular articles, give the appearance they took the assertions in the nomination at face value, and didn't actually look at the articles for themselves.

Indeed. Geo Swawn; you created a large series of very similar articles about non-notable people a few years ago. Despite the results of the RfC last year you haven't merged these articles or had them deleted. These articles are now being nominated for deletion, and it's hardly surprising that the obvious fundamental problems with the articles are being pointed out. Making accusations of bad faith is pretty poor practice given that the underlying problem is that you didn't fix up the problems you'd caused, despite the results of the RfC asking that you do so.

Note to closing administrator -- This series of AfDs by DBigXray strike me as WP:WIKIHOUNDING of Geo Swan and I believe that this WP:TRAINWRECK needs to be stopped now. I do not know if it is by coordinated action that the same editors always appear in these recent AfDs but I believe there is a real danger of WP:FALSECON due to an influx of biased or partisan editors. From looking at the archives of Wikiproject Deletion sorting Terrorism and Guantanamo Bay detainment camp as well as its talk page, I feel pretty sure that with the torturous histories of these articles and their political ramifications they will always be vulnerable to WP:EDITWARRING. I suggest that these AfDs be put on hold until a proper guideline for describing the notability of extrajudicial prisoners can be hashed out at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people). --Joshuaism (talk) 20:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your accusations of bad faith are skirting the lines of civility. There is no "wikihounding", there is no "coordinated action", there is no "bias", and there is no "fatwa" - there is the fact that these articles are not on notable subjects and we are trying to follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you Joshuaism for hurling yet another mindless and a more terrible attack on the AFD nominator this time, despite an earlier message in the same thread not to indulge in doing so. I am replying this time not because I am shaken by your attacks but solely for the sake of other editors who should not make my ignoring your mindless attacks as some kind of acceptance to it. For the record I have no history of editing or confrontation with Geo Swan anywhere on Wikipedia, and that I gain no personal happiness from these AfD's. I have no interest in Geo Swan's contributions whatsoever. I am active at military weapons, ships, History and terrorism related articles. I came across these articles via the categories of terrorism related articles . I have also created BIOs of few militants and militant organizations myself and I have also improved the articles of notable Guantanamo prisoners if they agree with the policies "irrespective of who created it". I nominate articles only when I am fully convinced that they are clear cases of policy violation. AS the admins have access to deleted pages, they are free to check that I have also nominated several non-notable BIOs created by other editors if they do not satisfy the guidelines. I dont get any special joy in bundling these articles but I have started doing it as I was requested by AFD sorters and AFD contributors to WP:BUNDLE these AfD's for better discussion and I accepted that sane advice. Finally you should always "remember" that it is not me but the community who decides what article to keep and what to delete. I am only highlighting the articles that have problem. I'll be more than happy if editors address my concerns at the AfD's so that the articles can be saved. <sigh> --DBig Xray 22:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, care to explain how you came to the conclusion that the article on Khaled Ben Mustafa is the same or similar enough to that of Salim Suliman Al Harbi that they should be grouped together? They aren't the same person. They don't come from the same country. Their circumstances are entirely different and contain different events since detention and release. So under which WP:BUNDLE criteria did you decide to nominate these articles? Identical content? Hoax? Spam? Nearly identical manufactured products? Please tell us which of these apply.

Care to explain why Khaled is considered a BLP1E just like Salim when he has experienced much more drama and continued coverage? Care to explain how Khaled's capture in Afghanistan, his detention at Guantanimo, his release and repatriation to France, his conviction on terrorism charges in France, the overturning of this conviction[16], and his retrial[17] constitute a single event?

These two articles should not be grouped together. We should not bury notable detainees in groupings with non-notable or questionably notable detainees. These cases need to be decided on their own merits. All of them. --Joshuaism (talk) 04:23, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Tough call, this one. On the one hand, most of the refs are to the website of an organization that has a vested interest in this school, Cambridge International Examinations. On the other hand, there is a reasonable variety of other cites, and the "world's best high school" award does seem significant, although I am not familiar with "Eduvac," the website on which this award was reported. Overall, I'd say we should err on the side of caution and keep this article for now, unless someone points out more problems with the Eduvac cite and other non-CIE cites.

Comment - Perhaps if you focused more on the credentials of the organization naming this school the "world's best high school," rather than the source of the citation, other editors would be willing to give you a bit more flexibility in the referencing source.

Comment: Language Travel Magazine [19] appears to be an advertiser-funded serial targeting 'study travel advisors' staff in schools who advise student on which foreign/remote schools to attend. The awards appear to be their in-house awards for advertisers. Certainly the "world's best high school" award seems mre like the "best school targetting foreign students for English eduation who happen to advertise in this magazine" (that news story also appears to be based on an interview, undermining it's independence). Note that even if it were awarded by a credible awarding body, the "best high school" award cannot be used to support the notability of this company anyway since all the high schools operated by this company have their own articles and notability is not inherited (the award could be used on the high school's article, naturally).

These are marketting materials and do not confer notability in the wikiepdia sense. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Struatyeates, that does not matter. Why? if you go here: ^[1], which is the National Ministry of Education of New Zealand, and if you write any of the ACG school names .. you will see them appear as a approved. The notability should act under common sense. One link from the ministry should be enough, and it's pretty easy for you to find. Even easier than digging on exportnz.org and educationnz.org.

My question is, how can you still have doubts about ACG notability? The facts are presented here. Furthermore: ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] And these ones, stating very clear their approved condition: ^[7] ^[8] ^[9] ^[10] ^[11] ^[12] ^[13] ^[14] ^[15].

I suggest you read WP:GNG and WP:CORP, which are the criteria in use here. WP:42 summaries these are "Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The entry at http://www.business.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/654443 doesn't grant notability either (though it does raise the question of whether Sir John Graham's name is being used appropiately). These are Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill. I also suggest you double-check your links work. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. So let me see where are we standing now: by now you know that ACG schools are veridic, but we are still having fixes to make to present the article in the proper maner. What links should I delete? I looked at the award page, and although it says "sponsored by" (that is something that I don't understand why), we didn't sponsor it: it was an election between many school agents of the world. Otherwise wouldn't have much of a sense to have that award (even less having a list of nominees).

I'll keep improving the page. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starjim (talk • contribs) 22:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No delete! Or you should then delete every private school that are been shown in Wiki pages as well? I presented reliable verifiable sources from the New Zealand Education Ministry, Stuartyeates.

I showed to you that Academic Colleges Group is recognized by IBO, NZQA, NZEM and more. If you are telling me that isn't enough ... I wonder if wikipedia should have any school at all, and yet I can find many other NZ private schools there as well. I've read the "Run-of-the-mill" article and I disagree: this is not a mall, a game match description or something trivial. This is a sum of schools. Parents and students visit the wiki page to find relevant information about their institution and schools. Don't delete the page! Tell me instead how can I improve it. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starjim (talk • contribs) 21:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When you say " This is a sum of schools." do yo mean that you're proposing deleting/redirecting ACG Senior College, ACG Parnell College, ACG Strathallan ACG Sunderland School and College, ACG International School Vietnam and ACG International School Jakarta and merging the content into this page? If so, I'm happy to run with that. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If we merge the pages will be a lot of content into one page in the future. Having the links between the schools was really helpful for the students so far. They all stumble into the main ACG one, and then an according their need of information visit the different schools or go elsewhere. I know if confusing, a group of schools like this is one of a kind in the world, actually. I'm proposing for you to tell me how to improve all these schools without deleting them (every time you delete a page we have parents and students complaining about it and requesting us to write the articles again, and there is a reason for that: many facebook pages and websites use the information stored in the wiki articles automatically). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starjim (talk • contribs) 01:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want some pages for your students and parents, get yourselves a website (I suggest starting at Category:Web hosting), Wikipedia is categorically not for this, see WP:NOTWEBHOST. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have a website already (and its very huge: 3600 internal pages), so this WP:NOTWEBHOST is not the case. We don't want to use wikipedia as a website.

You tell me instead, why wikipedia has schools pages and do not delete them? Is the same reason why applies to our case. After seeing the NZQA, NZEM and IBO links, do you still think that ACG is lacking of notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starjim (talk • contribs) 03:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC) — Starjim (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

~~Merge~~ (replaced with keep further on) with the other ACG sites as StuartYeates suggested. The college may reach a point where these other colleges are significant enough in their own right.

Imagine if two different Universities belong to the same group of people, but they are in nature very different with each other... would you merge their wiki pages? Same happens here. How shall I use the COI? If I'm involved today is because of the editing that all the pages are having, and the request of parents and students. About the impartiality, you are taking good care on that. I'd would like for other to write in behalf of ACG schools, but now I understand how hard is to work something with you all. User Necrothesp, the schools are the company, it's not a separated thing. The owners are all teachers as well. And you said "the schools are notable" however many moderators have deleted the pages once and again. It's very difficult to discuss the matter and reach a conclusion when many moderators are taking part of the discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starjim (talk • contribs) 22:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response Starjim maybe it would be helpful if you outline the organisations structure and relationships. Correct me if I am wrong - the Academic Colleges Group is a holding company under whose umbrella the various schools are run as independent entities (that is they are independently managed from one another). As Necrothesp stated the schools are generally notable as of right, but the holding company may not necessarily be so, because its notability can not be inherited from its ownership of schools. To put it another way, just because I own something, ie a rare and notable car, that does not give me notability. The car may be notable, but I am not if my notability solely depends on my owning the car. I would need something else that gave me notability in my own right.

You also say it is difficult to deal with so many moderators - well I guess that is part of operating within a community. There are many views held by the communities members, hence the various discussion boards and pages such as this. Those who oversea these pages are wise enough to assess the arguments put forward and reach an appropriate decision with regard to retaining or keeping an article. It is not majority rules.

From your comments - if you feel pressured by job, parents, etc then given your close involvment with the organisation I would advise against direct editing, because of a probable lack of neutrality. Hope this all helps NealeFamily (talk) 07:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm receiving written content from them (parents, sometime teachers and), and then ensemble everything. The problem that they face is that their content usually gets deleted, because of the lack of references or the way they have written the article. That's why they contacted me. So nothing written there is mine, although I'm performing some editing for making this content survive the wiki regulations (with references, links and discussions with the moderators).

Lets see:

Private school prepares to triple its roll Yes, some notability accruing for ACG Parnell College, but not much since this is an interview-based story with all those interviewed being associated in some way with the school. Note that notability is not inherited from that school to this company.
ACG Group Wins Exporter of the Year Award This is a press release
ACG wins international award This is a news story based on an interview with a spokesperson about winning an award. As pointed out above, the award was sponsored by the company. The title of the award implies it is for a school rather than a company, but the coverage is insufficient to determine which of ACG's stable of schools it was for.
ACG Strathallan top of the top in Cambridge Examinations This is a press release
ACG School tops Cambridge Examinations Awards List This is a press release
No ordinary school show This is a press release

I'm seeing excellent marketting, but no notability. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:32, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stuartyeates once again you missed the point:

Private school prepares to triple its roll "The ACG, which also has schools in Karaka and central Auckland, has a waiting list at its Parnell College and has had to turn away up to 100 students a year in recent times." This article talks about ACG and one of his latest schools, ACG Parnell. There is not "inherit" , the interviewed are part of ACG Group: "The associate principal of the Academic Colleges Group, Kim Harase, said parents were not deterred by the fees, which range between $10,000 and $13,000 annually." You are mistaken here.

ACG Group Wins Exporter of the Year Award Yes, it's a press release.. but it was approved by an independent source. Same as other press releases: they show that the ACG Group is notable, recognized by them.

ACG wins international award Special attention to this point: Stuart states that "was sponsored". I tried to tell you many times that you misunderstood the whole thing: it is pointless to be the winner of a prize you are paying for!!! The "sponsor" means THIS [23] . Has nothing to do with the election of the winners! Do you understand now? ACG was elected by many school agents around the world. Winning this prize (many, during the last years) it's a great element to support the notability of the ACG Group. "The title of the award implies it is for a school rather than a company" Completely wrong!! The title talks about ACG as a whole. What are you reading?!: "An Auckland-based group of schools has taken out 'best high school' at an international award ceremony on the weekend" the article said. This is crystal clear... the group as a whole, like talking about 1 school .. won the prize.

Keep despite the mix of self promotion, there seems to be enough to bring this organisation within reasonable range of notability.

Article was prodded for deletion because the only source was the subject's web site. I removed all the uncited stuff and reworded two sentences, providing cites (in the process removing some copypasta). However, after searching for third party coverage I'm unsure the subject passes Wikipedia's notability requirements. A Google Book search on the subject's book Evangelical Is Not Enough finds these few mentions including what appears to be an independent review here, for example. As nominator I feel rather neutral - there may be sufficient coverage out there, or a merge target might be suitable, but I feel it needs more input from editors familiar with the subject area. 84user (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Didn't find enough (if any) independent, secondary sources covering this self-professed "scholar". Didn't pass WP:ACADEMIC as no hits on Google scholar as well JSTOR. He's got coverage in terms of Facebook and his own websites, but that just reinforces the advertisement-nature of article. In terms of WP:WRITER, there is one book review, but, as you say, that's not enough to clear the hurtle of notability. His books were also published by very small presses and received little coverage when released. He has mostly religious writings, and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for insular presses for his works, but even his book on T.S. Elliot is more vanity press (according to WP policy) than bonafide, independent press and like you I can't find more than one review. So her fails WP:WRITER too.

A band that doesn't seem to have any notability. None of the band members are themselves notable, and the band's only claim is that they shared billing with other, actually notable bands in the past.

The result was delete the page history and create a redirect to Water-fuelled car#Agha Waqar Ahmad. There is a clear consensus that the subject is not notable enough for a biographical article, but editors are evenly split as to whether the article should be redirected or deleted. I am deleting the page history and creating a new redirect as the best available compromise. As for the redirect target, given that opinion was split among the editors favouring redirection, and that many editors favouring deletion thought that the car article should also be deleted, Water-fuelled car#Agha Waqar Ahmad seems the most appropriate choice. However, redirecting to Agha Waqar's Water Fuelled Car may be more appropriate if Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agha Waqar's Water Fuelled Car is closed as "keep". — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 15:22, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E at best...he (person, this article) is only known at all and in the news (and only at all as of the past week it seems) because of and in relation to an invention of his. The invention may or may not be notable, but he's got nothing beyond that. DMacks (talk) 07:44, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This article should not be considered for deletion as it has content that is entirely true and has nothing in it that is even controversial. This article is about a personality who recently invented a water kit to be used in order to run a car on water, which happens to be a first-time in the history. We cannot deny the fact that many people around the world are looking for an article on him on Wikipedia everyday in order to know more about him. I myself check regularly whether the article is already uploaded on Wikipedia. - Musavir Gajani.

Redirect to ~~Agha Waqar's Water Fuelled Car~~ Water-fuelled_car#Agha_Waqar_Ahmad, although I don't think BLP1E applies (an invention is hardly an event), all of the coverage about him, and the article itself, just says that he invented the car, this content is already covered in the article about the car, so in that sense this article is a duplicate of the other one.

Redirect to Water-fuelled_car#Agha_Waqar_Ahmad because, while I agree that redirecting to Agha Waqar's Water Fuelled Car is reasonable - I strongly believe (as does User:Prebys) that it too should be AfD fodder. Neither the inventor, nor the car itself are very notable - there is really no useful information about the car and the inventor is known only for that one (ridiculous) claim. A single paragraph in Water-fuelled car is all that this guy really warrants - and that's already there. SteveBaker (talk) 15:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be fine if we added more verifiable information to the article? The invention has created quite a stir within Pakistan, making national news with scientists debating fiercely weather the invention is real or fraudulent. (Though I believe its real) my personal opinion is not a factor in an article. I do however believe that real or not this has created enough hype and controversy over both Agha Waqar and his engineer's to be worth an article. (Wiki id2 (talk) 16:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]
- The problem with that is recentism. Sure, it made a splash over a few days of news cycle - but will it be remembered for anything in a year from now? The claims the guy is making are absolutely nothing new - there are dozens and dozens of people who think that using a battery to electrolize water into hydrogen and feeding it to an internal combustion engine will make enough power to drive the car (and, not insignificantly, recharge the battery that was used to split the water in the first place). There is a long list of essentially identical claims (not one of which has resulted in a car that you can actually buy). The only notability we have here is because of a quiet news day - the machine itself is neither workable, nor novel. If it worked, it would be a perpetual motion machine - violating the laws of thermodynamics - it would imply that all of physics and chemistry are incorrect. Ask yourself: Is it more likely that the laws of physics are entirely wrong - or that some guy has faked the whole business of the car...just like the previous two dozen people clearly did? SteveBaker (talk) 19:37, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete though the person has got some coverage by the media but still he is not notable per WP:BIO. (A little off the debate) After watching demonstration of his invention on television, it looks like a fraud, which we should not be part of by promoting him or his invention. I don't find him or his work suitable for encyclopedia until it is thoroughly checked and certified by professionals, which is yet to happen. --SMS ^Talk 20:15, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and delete the car too, but put a note in the water-powered car list. It could happen that some 'little man' (or 'little woman') invents something that revolutionises science. It rarely does nowadays. It doesn't look like it here, to me. The process as stated doesn't make sense to me, and if it really boils down to electrolysis, then here we go again... Water is too stable a compound to be a source of energy, and you can't add hydrogen to water ("a simple technology in which ‘hydrogen bonding’ with distilled water" - from the dawn.com ref which does sound doubtful in places). Where is this hydrogen coming from to bond with the distilled water - assuming that he has managed to create H3O2 or H4O2 (which would just be a double water molecule anyway)? Simple? I'm willing to be corrected, but only with sound evidence. At the moment, we have a claim, and a couple of government ministers (one of them the Minister for Religion) getting enthusiastic. Until we get more details, this belongs with the list of inventors of THE water-powered car, or with perpetual motion. Incidentally, I've just invented this minute an idea for a water powered car - you have a large tank of water on the roof, and run the water down a pipe to turn a waterwheel which powers a generator whose output drives the car and also refills the tank. Can I have some funding to develop this revolutionary idea? Peridon (talk) 21:05, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Developing my idea further, braking could also supply power to pump the water by using the system used on hybrid cars. Extra pumping could be done by the driver or passengers, which would save them the cost of going to the gym. Peridon (talk)

This is getting a bit far off-topic for an AfD...but a car that used the gravitational potential energy of water would travel at most a few hundred meters before running out of water. The water in such a system isn't a "fuel" it's the working medium...just as a steam engine isn't a water powered device - it's a coal or wood-fuelled vehicle that happens to use water as the "working medium". As for 'exotic' water molecules being a way for this to work, it doesn't matter. You start off with water and some electrical power stored in the battery. What you end up with after generating hydrogen and then burning it in the engine...is water. If the engine has to recharge the battery to prevent the car from running out of power for hydrolysis - then you'd be able to collect the water from the tailpipe and put it back into the "fuel" tank. Net result would be a perpetual motion machine...and that's flat out impossible, no matter what exotic mechanism you use to transform the water into fuel. We don't need to know how it works in order to know that it cannot POSSIBLY work...unless the laws of thermodynamics are incorrect - which would mean that all of science as we know it is wrong...that's just so spectacularly unlikely that (as an encyclopedia) we can utterly discount it. This car unequivocably cannot work the way the "inventor" describes it as working - ergo he's a liar, a cheat and a fraud. SteveBaker (talk) 22:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree with Peridon and SteveBaker. Adding further to this off topic discussion, the guy is using the same gasoline engine for the hydrogen based fuel. Besides he has just made fool of some non-professionals (including some government officials) while technical people in Pakistan are crying out loud that it is a fraud and asking him to get it thoroughly checked by a team of experts in the fuel cell technology from any university of the country, but he is avoiding it. The guy as I have seen on TV shows seems to have very little technical knowledge, neither did he explain the working of his *invention* properly nor does he know that no one is going to fund him unless it is technically checked. According to him this water fuel kit will cost about 420 USD and can be fixed with any gasoline engine. And guess what, this invention has been made in that country which is suffering from severe power shortage and where people are crying about high prices of petroleum products, where most of the private small vehicles run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) because of high price of gasoline, and the CNG kit also costs about 400 USD. Its really funny that no one has approached him till now to install this kit in their car. --SMS ^Talk 23:50, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Water-fuelled_car#Agha_Waqar_Ahmad per arguments provided above. This chap seems to have come up with this idea in good faith (and has received considerable attention too due to this unexplored technology) but as can be seen, there are question marks over the model's scientific process. I think we should leave the job of working out the authenticity of the model to scientists, and time should tell for itself how this goes. For now, a devoted section on Water fuelled car would be good and also WP:NOTABLE/WP:DUE, as has been done in that article for other similar inventors in the past who claimed to have made certain breakthroughs in this technology.

This is an advertisement for a non-notable beverage. Is it impressive that they won a gold medal at this San Francisco World Spirits Awards thing? Not when you see that there are forty pages of winners. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 06:19, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A search brought up nothing but an insanely brief mention in the Irish Examiner as far as the company or whiskey goes, so I was unable to find anything that showed that this drink has any notability. As far as the awards go, I don't see where they have enough (or any) notability to give enough weight for the article to be kept on the basis of those alone. Now I'm not saying that the awards are completely nothing, but when there's little to no coverage of the actual event and the only people that mention the product winning the award are merchant sites and the award site, then I'm going to guess that these aren't major awards in this field. A search for the awards in general really don't bring up any results, as the only people that actively comment on the products winning the awards are the companies that won them. I understand that awards in the alcohol world aren't as heavily covered as say, the Oscars, but if these were notable enough to keep the entry on its own then there'd be some independent and secondary coverage of these awards.Tokyogirl79 06:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of the thousands of new beverages created every year, to win these awards during infant stages is, in fact, a notable achievement. You are correct in stating that the notoriety of the awards themselves is not obvious. I would imagine that is because you do not have prior knowledge of the spirits industry. These awards are in fact very significant to industry professionals and companies, they distinguish the brands to which they are awarded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oreilly.spf (talk • contribs) 21:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC) comment moved down here by — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What ultimately matters is if the awards are notable per Wikipedia guidelines, which they do not appear to be. This isn't a slur against the spirit world, just that 99.9% of the awards given in any given category are not enough to warrant keeping an article on the merit of the awards alone. No matter if the awards were won in the first few years of business or after fifty years of producing whiskey, the awards aren't notable enough per Wikipedia's guidelines to keep an article just by receiving them. Heck, an award can be well known but still not show notability for an article except under specific conditions, but what's telling here is that nobody has really commented on the awards except for merchant sites. The type of awards that would show notability are the ones that get tons of news coverage.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect I agree with Colapeninsula. I've done some searching and I see where this website would be worth mentioning in Berkley's article, but not where it really deserves an entry of its own. The sources I find mostly talk about the website in a "hey, look what she's doing now" sort of thing. The other things that come up are the columns themselves. If/when the TV show ever gets made it could merit its own article but right now the website just isn't overwhelmingly notable outside of Berkley herself.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:23, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning to delete but . . . . The article as currently written is an in-universe hoax, and that is not something beneficial to the encyclopedia. Viewed as an art project, or as a notable hoax, I don't see enough sources to make the Gesundheit Radio, by itself, worthy of an article. However, it's possible that this could be refocused, expanded, and saved as an article about the actual designers, Chambers Judd, and their fictional "Attenborough Design Group" project that includes not only this sneezy radio but also the quadruped "Floppy Legs" floppy drive and the very contact-averse "Antitouch Lamp"; this work has been the subject of a bit of legitimate coverage[32][33][34], if more like this could be found, maybe notability could be established. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. Cliff Smith 18:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A non-notable effect. Whereas what is written in the article is probably correct, it is not shown that the effect was mentioned by anybody but the proposed and his group. None of the cited papers was published in a high-profile journal. Ref. 2, which claims to describe the effect in detail, does not seem to mention Doubochinsky or Doubochinsky at all. The related paper on Doubochinski's pendulum seems to have similar problems. Both look like a promotion for the unnotable phenomenon. Ymblanter (talk) 15:35, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Topic has yet to receive significant attention in the scientific community or anywhere. GS cites for Doubochinski hinself are tiny. Doubochinski's pendulum is also ripe for deletion. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I added 2 good references that prove interest to this effect from scientific society and acknowledgment the fact, that Doubochinski's pendulum is the specific class of pendulum and it is known to the specialists in the this area (physics of oscillations). Please, let me to add more references in 3 weeks when I will return from vacation. Please, do not delete this article before I will present more references.--RomanPr (talk) 00:29, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:N and WP:V: non-notable video game with no references based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. I searched for sources using the WikiProject Video games custom Google searches (both reliable and situational searches for "Thang Global" and "Thang Online" just in case) and found only the usual forum posts, blogs, and some scattered trivial "reviews" on advertisement/spam sites, and so on.

Recommend for deletion as not meeting the notability criteria for WP:BIO. The notability of this commercial specialty illustrator does not appear to have any validation by independent sources. The only reference on the page is to the subject's own web site. Claims that his work is represented in the FASNY Museum of Firefighting are not substantiated by their own web site and in any case it's not clear whether they are meant to be in the fine art collection or as collectible gifts in the museum store. No books or publications seem to mention him, and the only news media mention is the subject's own announcement of a benefit breakfast to be held by the local Loyal Order of Moose.

Delete. I don't like it when well-written articles are deleted, but this event seems very minor. This sounds like something you'd read about in your local newspaper, not something which will ever make international news. Even if it did, it would be a minor story and definitely not something which many people will remember. Michael5046 (talk) 09:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No independent sources attest the subject's notability. Of the functioning links in the article, we have what looks like a letter to the editor, a passing mention, another, and an article that doesn't mention her at all. That's not sufficient to keep.

Contested PROD. Concern was that the article Fails WP:GNG. PROD was contested on the grounds that the league the club plays in is notable. This does not change the fact that there is no evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Sir Sputnik (talk) 07:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - these clubs play in the 4th division of Slovakia, no evidence of sporting notability, and certainly no evidence they meet GNG. Giant Snowman 08:51, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The fourth tier of Slovakian football is the "grey area" that we will find in any league system where some teams meet WP:GNG and others do not. At the moment I can find no evidence that either TJ Kovo Beluša or FC Rohožník have competed in the Slovak Cup or the third tier of the Slovak league system. Internet coverage (historical) for Slovakian clubs is sparse and unless more evidence can be provided it will not be possible to demonstrate that WP:GNG can be met through existing or potential coverage in reliable independent sources. If suitable evidence cannot be provided by those very familiar with Slovak football the two articles should be deleted. RSSSF does not cover the Slovak Cup in much detail and records would need to be traced back to 1961 to provide a definitive answer. League Octopus (League Octopus 16:07, 14 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Majstrovstvá regiónu. If it's a grey area, then there's no reason that each team can't be listed with a couple of sentences on the league page. Nfitz (talk) 15:57, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
