Non-notable language system. Sources appear to be affiliated with the creator of the system. Results of Google have questionable notability. Unresolved notability since January 2012. Mr. Guye (talk) 23:15, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per arguments by Mr. Guye (nominator). Quis separabit? 23:30, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. It is the subject of this article: [1] which interestingly explains what it is about better than the Wikipedia page does. Mentioned a number of times in other sources e.g. this proposal to encode it in Unicode and this talk abstract by a theoretical physicist. It could be significant as a political phenomenon. I wonder if there is any coverage in Bantu-language newspapers. --Sammy1339 (talk) 01:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It is a recognized script which is currently in use and has been around for more than 30 years in a location that most readers and editors have never been to, and probably a fair share of people have never heard of the nation alone. Wikipedia has a consensus on keeping locations, including villages and "dead languages". I see no reason to omit the article simply on the basis that an abugida for a foreign language, that Google cannot even translate to, on the basis of an English search results on Google. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:37, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it exists, but fails WP:GNG without sufficient reliable secondary sources. Bearian (talk) 19:59, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:HEY, citations have been filled in. Bearian (talk) 22:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - It appears to have be semi-notable enough (a quick google) and has been around a long while. Lack of referenced usage outside Mwangwego.com is worrying. Couldn't find much academic or book references, apart from this mention on academia.edu KylieTastic (talk) 18:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nic Ungs[edit]

Non-notable former professional baseball player. Fails WP:BASE/N and WP:GNG. Was kept previously because he played in the top Chinese league, but that no longer qualifies as notable under WP:BASE/N. Nor does his participation in the Australian league. Alex (talk) 21:52, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're reasoning for removing these PROD's really show your lack of sincerity of Wikipedia.--Yankees10 00:09, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I just think PRODs are stupid. Alex (talk) 00:17, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It gets boring saying the same thing over and over. Alex (talk) 03:32, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prods arent stupid, Alex... they save time and avoid having to go through this process for someone who is gonna get deleted anyway. You voted delete, should have let it get prodded and avoided having so many of these. Of course half of these guys are the minor league scrubs youve been adding to the minor league pages. Spanneraol (talk) 04:27, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They're completely idiotic. They go entirely against what Wikipedia is supposed to be - consensus-driven. By PRODding these and especially by not telling others they are being PRODded (as one of us is wont to do), it greatly diminishes the potential for others to find sources to prove notability. As has happened many times already, these "non-notable minor leaguers" you guys keep proposing for deletion are found to pass GNG after a little digging.

The result was delete. Rough consensus is to delete. Let it be noted that library holdings can be an indication of notability, and low holdings are probably not an argument for notability. Being cited and mentioned is probably an argument for likely notability, but in the end it's reliable sources providing significant discussion that proves notability--and editors here agree broadly that this is missing.

Victoria Pynchon[edit]

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

The last articles for deletion was a disaster due to an outside group on a crusade against this person. But looking at it, it probably would have been deleted. I don't see any plausible way she can be notable, certainly not her blog. Ego White Tray (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of California-related deletion discussions. Jinkinson talk to me 16:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Wikipedia is not WP:LINKEDIN. Pynchon is no doubt a competent professional, but that is not the same thing as meeting WP:GNG. Things like "appearing on The Marketplace's The Morning Report" to comment on an issue shows she is competent, but are not coverage showing notability. There are no substantive claims showing notability supported by sources.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:48, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My conclusion is the same as last time: weak delete. She has a few passing mentions in Independent Reliable Sources, but most of the rest of the references are self-referential. In a search I found one additional source [4] but "Bizwomen" does not seem like much of a source. Things written by her do not count; we need things written ABOUT her by third parties, and those seem to be lacking. --MelanieN (talk) 19:14, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient reliable sources referencing or discussing her to pass WP:N. --Clean-up-wiki-guy (talk) 22:21, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: Amended comment: As noted by Ravenswing, when a subject is discussed in significant detail in multiple, independent, reliable sources, the GNG standard is met, which is the case with the subject of this article. And Milowent's description -- "that Los Angeles Daily Journal thing is not a regional publication but a local legal newspaper which did a puff biz piece on her which she republished everywhere" -- does not make it so. It was a profile in a reliable newspaper and appears to have been written by a staff writer. Does the subject of an article, by republishing it elsewhere, diminish the original content and make it not count toward GNG? Original comment: In a search, I found three sources not included in the article and added them. One is an interview with Pynchon (about her) in a legal periodical. The second one is an annual conference of the New York Bar Association where she was keynote speaker. The third is a listing by Rasmussen College of the Top 100 Academic Law Twitter Feeds in 2010, which includes Pynchon. These are substantive claims that show notability --AuthorAuthor (talk) 20:03, 8 November 2014 (UTC)AuthorAuthor (talk) 16:33, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: For some reason, my "Keep" appears as "Delete" in the AfD Vote Counter. AuthorAuthor (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the vote counter doesn't trust your vote!! :-) Seriously though, those sources are not good indicia of notability. Where are the regional newspaper spreads on her? Typically two in-depth profiles of someone in a national or regional mainstream publication is a good case for notability. One you get below that the Afds go from borderline to worse.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 05:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good one ref: the vote counter! :-) Is not multiple coverage by reliable national and regional newspapers and news outlets (CNN, Wall Street Journal, NPR, Newsday, San Diego Union Tribune, Parade magazine, etc.) equal to a couple of profiles of a person to show notability? A profile was done by the Los Angeles Daily Journal, which is considered a regional publication, and a periodical did a profile. I have seen that similarly discussed in other AfDs and those articles with multiple coverage without profiles have passed GNG. The nom saying the article "probably would have been deleted" the first time is not a valid reason for deletion. We do not know that, especially given so many of the Delete votes were a result of the outside crusade to have the page deleted. Thank you. AuthorAuthor (talk) 06:46, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very very weak keep The references in this article need work. Many of them do not link to the article being referenced, but to the Wikipedia page for the journal. (I think there's a misunderstanding about the citation format by some contributor(s)). Without that cleanup it's hard to know what's going on here. In some cases, I was unable to find the article being referenced. I fixed a few, and made notes on another. I would say that this is a notability edge case, but with improvements to the references it could be turned around. LaMona (talk) 02:07, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I searched and found that her blog postings for her site are included in the Library of Congress' archive of legal blogs so I added it to the article with a source. I also found a Fox Business News segment of The Willis Report, where she was the only person interviewed and I added that, along with two back-to-back appearances on Minnesota Public Radio during the state's 2011 budget hearings to discuss negotiations. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 03:59, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. However, I'm not sure that adds much -- Library of Congress archives whole periods of the full twitter feed, so it's not a huge sign of significance. I'd rather see more references in reliable publications. LaMona (talk) 19:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Fox Business News segment adds a reliable news outlet to the mix. Will see what else I can find. Thanks. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 19:57, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Off topic: Could someone edit my "Keep" (above) so it does not continue to register as "Delete" on the Stats vote counter? Thank you. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 11:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It should be noted that six months ago (two years after the 1st AfD), AutoAdmit wrote on its page about getting Pynchon's Wikipedia article deleted, "lets get this going again!" It is dated April 10, 2014. Here's the link (scroll to bottom). Stumbled on it during a Google search. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 20:10, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you displaying such zeal in this AFD, Author? I think you are demonstrating she is not notable by noting items like a Library of Congress archive of a twitter feed. And that Los Angeles Daily Journal thing is not a regional publication but a local legal newspaper which did a puff biz piece on her which she republished everywhere.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After the last afd on this article, I remember some of the other contributors voicing a suspicion that this was paid editing on the part of AuthorAuthor, and the behavioral indicators all seem to support this. Ego White Tray (talk) 15:42, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was unaware that by attempting to address the issues raised at AfD, it is considered "zeal." In Wikipedia discussions, I have voiced my opposition to anyone being paid to edit and/or create articles on Wikipedia. I have not received payment for this or any other Wikipedia article. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 00:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever someone shows zeal to this extent there is a reason; I know this from participating in at least 1000 AfDs. I don't mean its some bad reason, and surely wasn't thinking of paid editing, I was just wondering. I just assumed you know Victoria, but its no big deal. I often show great zeal in preventing articles from being deleted because I'm an inclusionist, and I've gotten flack for it; but I also agree with the purposes and spirit of WP:GNG.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 02:18, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Similar questions can arise when there is zeal about an article being deleted in light of a current post from a controversial group soliciting help in getting it done. And I certainly hope I do not get criticized for mentioning the elephant in the room.-AuthorAuthor (talk) 15:31, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Randykitty (talk) 12:25, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the subject has received passing mention in a multitude of non-primary or secondary reliable sources, the subject has also authored or co-authored multiple pieces of journalism and a few papers. That being said there do not appear to be multiple reliable sources, where the subject of this AfD is the primary topic, and where the subject of this article is given significant coverage, thus not passing WP:GNG. Furthermore, since the last AfD, the subject does not appear to have added significant amounts of academic work, or meet any other the criteria set forth in WP:NACADEMICS. The only possible route for notability, that I can see is WP:JOURNALIST, criteria #1, but I have not yet been convinced that the subject of this AfD is a "important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors". Therefore, at this time, it is my opinion that the subject does not yet meet a guideline for notability, and thus the article should be deleted.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:20, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lacks notability, self promotion as well--Star Log, Lfrankblam, Kirk Out (talk) 07:20, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Recognized expert on mediation, office politics and bargaining in the workplace, her views are quoted often by reliable sources, such as here, here, here, here, here, here, here. She was described by NPR as an expert. She's picked up by international papers such as the Guardian. She contributes regularly as a writer for Forbes such as here. While I agree there are problems with the current article (poor sourcing, BLP issues, promotional cruft) these problems are not reasons for deletion when there are so many sources available. If the article is kept here, I will try to revamp it when I have time.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:21, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is every "expert" in every field notable? Of course not. There are millions of "expert" attorneys. She's simply competent in her field, yet there is precious little coverage about her as a notable person. When was she born? None of her biographical information is sourceable to news sources, this makes her bio ripe for vandalism.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:41, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spurious arguments; simply, she's notable. First, the "she's simply competent in her field" argument: not merely "simply competent" but her expertise is quoted in numerous reliable sources, again and again (see above); if there are "millions" of experts in the field of mediation, how come Victoria Pynchon is the one who is quoted in Forbes? Or, why was she chosen by Wiley Publishers to co-author a book on Mediation Styles? Or that her reports in Forbes get picked up by Mac Observer magazine here? Or, that she is a guest on Minnesota Public Radio? Or her views are extensively quoted in BusinessWeek magazine? Because she's notable. Second, your "none of her biographical information is sourceable to news sources" argument is a head-scratcher -- since when is this a test of notability? Personally, who cares when she was born, or her shoe size, or her preference for colors of drapes -- what matters is her advice about workplace issues, such as legal secretaries jostling in the power hierarchy or about networking, and coverage is plenty sufficient to meet the WP:GNG. Third, your "precious little coverage about her as a notable person" argument is incorrect since what is interesting is not who she is but what she does (which is notable) such as help working women negotiate for better pay. She meets the GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:34, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Yours is essentially the spurious argument, completely backwards, in fact. Forbes, Wiley, Minnesota Public Radio, etc., did not carry VP because she was notable, but because they felt her work would suit part of their respective audiences. The question for us is whether this resume, so to speak, satisfies WP:GNG. You are correct that covering VP the person is not a requirement. When that kind of WP:RS coverage happens, that usually is because WP:GNG is met. But we do not have to wait for MSM to decide for us. Choor monster (talk) 17:49, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Forays into the metaphysics of sourcing -- why Forbes and Wiley and Minnesota Public Radio publish her views -- is off topic. Simply put, Victoria Pynchon is notable as an expert regarding negotiating strategies, advice for workers, mediation. I agree the current article looks very much like a resume, but the question should be, Is this subject notable?, and she is.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:26, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: There is a curious notion floating around AfD in recent months that it somehow matters why or how someone's attracted media attention. This bizarre theory is unsupported by Wikipedia policy and guideline. The GNG just requires that a subject be covered in significant detail in multiple, reliable, published sources; it neither requires that subjects must then go forward to meet some amorphous "I think it's important enough" bar, nor that a subject also pass a subordinate notability criterion. Meeting the GNG is quite enough, and as Tomwsulcer correctly states, it doesn't matter worth a tinker's damn why Forbes or NPR think her views are important. Ravenswing 01:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment: the subject's publications themselves do not count towards "covering the subject", although we might glean personal information from such sources. Tomwsulcer was originally claiming that Forbes's reasons for publishing VP included "VP is notable!", which we do not know, and as you indicate, do not care about either. Note that publications and appearances typically include comments about other work, eg, a TV appearance might be prefaced by a brief resume. Choor monster (talk) 01:31, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There aren't nearly as many irrelevant smokescreens as there was two years ago, but enough. If someone can show me where a subject's birth date being available matters is part of the GNG, then I'll take note of that. Beyond that, the GNG has a very simple requirement: that a subject be discussed in significant detail in multiple, independent, reliable sources. That standard was met for this article two years ago and notability isn't any more transitory than it was. Ravenswing 11:02, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a strong inclusionist, so I'm fairly shocked to be in the minority on this one.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:10, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, people throw the "Deletionist!" slur at me all the time, so it happens ... Ravenswing 22:55, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that standard was NOT met in the previous AfD. There was no "keep" conclusion or even a "no consensus". The discussion was simply closed as a train wreck. But if it had been evaluated as a discussion, without counting the ISPs, the result might well have been "delete". MelanieN (talk) 11:05, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I rather don't recall saying anything about the standard "being met in the AfD." I said that the standard was met two years ago. I believed then, and do now, that sufficient reliable sources discussing the subject in significant detail had been produced. I agree that a simple head count of non-ISPs showed a majority vote for Delete, back then, and that it's quite common for closing admins to rule on head count over policy, but that doesn't change the facts. Ravenswing 08:08, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Reading the current article, which may be improved relative to when this AFD started, it seems to me that notability is established with reliable sources. I happen to think that authoring any of the "X for Dummies" type of books, which i perceive to be quite influential, is pretty significant on its own. It's hard to be the official-type spokesperson at the level of explaining things to dummies, it is not easy. But other sources in the article count more for Wikipedia-notability. Also, for what it's worth, i came here as a regular wikipedia editor participating often in AFDs, from visiting today's new AFDs, and I was unaware of this person and all previous controversy. --do ncr am 23:47, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notability established through source improvements since the start of this AfD.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I have low standards and this article is not meeting them. If it is kept, most of the content here needs to be deleted for being promotional. For me to vote keep, I would want to see 2-3 sources which have as their subject the subject of this article. Passing mentions do not count, and instances of this person being asked to give an opinion in her field do not count. Wikipedia requires only a little journalism about the subjects of its articles, and if those sources exist, they are not being made clear here and are being mixed with promotional content which should be deleted. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:54, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note Since it has been mentioned as a hypothetical for the 1st AfD, should a head count be done when closing this AfD, it should be noted that it is 6 to 7, not 4 to 7 as the Stats thus far show. Thanks. AuthorAuthor (talk) 17:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable as an author -- even her book in the Dummmies series has only 117 library holdings, which is quite low for this series. The various other journalism is relatively minor. DGG ( talk ) 09:06, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Libraries throw away and sell books all the time. As far as I can see, it is not possible to check what the level of holdings for a given book was on any particular date in the past. "Worldcat Identities" does not seem to give that information. In my view, the level of library holdings cannot be used as an argument for deletion because, unless we can check past library holdings, it is wholly incompatible with WP:NTEMP, because the level of holdings could have been higher in the past. In any event, I can't see why the point of comparison should be other books of that series rather than books in general. James500 (talk) 12:40, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that library holdings, as a measure, is not suitable for our purposes. While I have not read the particular Dummies book by Pynchon, my past experience with others in the series suggests to me that the overall quality is high.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:10, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It might be suitable to compare how many of this Dummies are in libraries with the other Dummies books published the same year. After this vote is over, how about a vote on Success as a Mediator For Dummies? At least merge its contents in with VP, assume this is kept? Choor monster (talk) 15:45, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(1) It is probably a POV comparison. There are many ways you could classify a book like that. Amazon put it on a list of "bestsellers" for a particular subject area. (2) If it is a plausible redirect to the publisher it will not be eligible for deletion. Alternatively, the "For Dummies" books might conceivably be collectively notable as a series, providing another possible target. (3) We do not vote at AfD. The expression "!vote" means something different. James500 (talk) 17:14, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that library holdings data needs to be evaluated , not used as a pure numerical cut-off. I said, "for books of this sort" Serious level self help books by major publishers usually have high library holding, as do books in this series. The dat of publication does have to be taken into account in connection with the nature of the book--libraries routinely delete old textbook sand children's fiction. But this book is published in 2012, and no library discard material that current. DGG ( talk ) 23:13, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They had a number one single in NZ with "Crawl". I have added a Hung Medien reference to verify the chart information. Sure, the article could do with a lot more love, but the band is certainly notable. Adabow (talk) 22:43, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:BAND, which reads:

"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria:

"2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart."

Notice that it reads "may be notable" and not "is notable", but I think in the practice we use any of those WP:BAND criteria to determine whether a musician or band is notable or not, and there is nothing subjective about the second criterion. As Adabow proved, they had two singles that charted in the official New Zealand chart, including a #1, and an album, too. I will try to add some more sources. Dontreader (talk) 01:21, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have added several sources. I now believe that Atlas meets the first criterion for musicians and ensembles:

"Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself."

Shikang Liu a couple of things. First this is not a speedy deletion discussion, but rather, a standard deletion discussion. It will run awhile, and then someone will review all the !votes and decide what to do. Secondly, the article is not about Traditional Chinese Medicine (we already have an article on that) but rather is a mash-up between very contemporary ideas about network analysis, the "holistic" ideas of many traditional medicines, and the messiness of natural product pharmacology. I see how the mashup makes sense, but there is very little literature on it; i think the subject of the article is too new to have a Wikipedia article. And the writing of the article itself is a lot of synthesis, which we don't do here. Jytdog (talk) 23:13, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I consider the European tournaments notable enough to merit an article, but his World Cup participation definitely puts him over the top.

Keep The subject of the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines as it has received coverage in reliable sources repeatedly. Indian sources cited in this article include The Times of India, India Today and The Hindu, none of which should be called yellow journalism as these are among the most reputable English language news sources that India publishes. Outside of India, the British BBC, the Canadian The Globe and Mail, and the United States The Washington Post are cited for their coverage of this topic. The earliest cited work was in OPEN in 2009 and the latest is from this month, so with a range of coverage over years I feel that this topic should not be excluded for being a WP:SENSATION. In the article on the prime minister, the topic of his marriage has never had more than one paragraph of coverage, so this is not already covered in the parent article and it would be WP:UNDUE to merge this content there because there is enough information here for a standalone article. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: Firstly I appreciate the work you've done on attempting to write this article but let's compare the content of this article to how it is covered in the main article. Main article: Modi's marriage was first confirmed during the 2014 election, it was a child marriage based on their caste, it wasn't consummated, they were soon estranged, Modi pursued an itinerant life.

What's added in this article: Trivial comments on opposition parties filing charges which is commonplace for Indian politics, soap opera like content like Modi returning having an argument with his parents about the marriage and leaving. A paragraph on Jashodaben early life which I presume is from the previous Afd'ed article on her. A commentary section which is largely derived from an opinion piece, includes a quote from Modi's sister, speculation on why he would hide the marriage and an opposition leader's joke comment. Very superficial.

What new insight is given by this article? What could potentially be saved from this article is an article generally on the importance of "celibacy in Indian politics" which the marriage could being used as an example of many others but I fear even that will be prone to fluff and turn into an essay. Cowlibob (talk) 20:33, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that is brilliantly argued! It seems Wikinews would be a good place to put articles like this. Perhaps we should a section on "Wikipedia is not Wikinews" somewhere? Kautilya3 (talk) 21:40, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cowlibob I took information which was covered in reliable sources and made this article. If this article contains trivial information then it is because newspapers and magazines have decided that this information is worth distributing. I suppose that the answer to "What new insight is given by this article?" is "Whatever insight is given by the repeated continual coverage of this topic in multiple reliable sources." I compiled the article because the usual rule is that if a topic passes WP:GNG then it can have a Wikipedia article, and I thought this topic passed that criteria. I am not sure what more I could say, because almost always in AfD passing GNG is enough to keep an article. Blue Rasberry (talk) 03:10, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: As my statement above had said this topic is already well covered in the main article, Narendra Modi. The "extra material" added in this article does not justify a separate article. Simply passing GNG does not justify an unneeded content fork. Cowlibob (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Cowlibob: I agree that the topic is well covered in the main article. This information is much too detailed to go there, though.

WP:N says that a subject which passes GNG is presumed to merit its own article. I am not sure what more that I can say, because I am expecting this AfD to be decided by whether this subject meets WP:GNG. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:35, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The subject meets the general notability guidelines and have significant coverage in reliable sources as well as @Bluerasberry: is wise and knowledgeable enough about the policies of Wikipedia hence his hardwork in improving the article should not be wasted and his comment should be considered while reviewing the AfD. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 13:41, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or redirect to Narendra Modi, although the title is not a reasonable search term) as per issues of WP:SENSATION, WP:BLP1E and WP:NOT. This article is a perfect example of WP:LARDING (the essay needs to be written) in which instead of summarizing secondary sources (as a encyclopedia is supposed to do), editors scrape every possible minor mention of a topic and add excessive verbiage to make the result look "encyclopedic" in length, if not in content. To give a specific example: This Caravan article covers Narendra Modi's marriage in 119 words (in a 17,858 word profile). Yet, somehow magically its contents have been expanded to 162 words and a separate section in the current version of the wikipedia article (and yes, I excluded the sole sentence in the section that cited another source, before counting the words). Ditto for a flippant suggestion by an opposition MP that Jashodaben be awarded India's highest civilian honour, which gets a paragraph of its own. To summarize my !vote: the encyclopedic details of the article can and should be adequately summarized in the Narendra Modi article. The rest is fluff with obvious WP:BLP1E issues (for Jashodaben Chimanlal, not Modi).

Extended content

There are 275 words in this passage.

His parents had arranged him a marriage in keeping with the traditions of the Ghanchi caste in Vadnagar, which involved a three-step process that began with an engagement at age three or four, a religious ceremony (shaadi) by the age of 13, and cohabitation (gauna) around the age of 18 or 20, when the parents felt the time had come. Modi was engaged to a girl three years younger than him, Jashodaben Chimanlal, from the neighbouring town of Brahamanwada. They had completed shaadi when Modi was only 13, Sombhai told me. But at age 18, with a higher call beckoning him, Modi decided to set off and wander in the Himalayas, leaving his wife and two uncertain families behind. The only source of information for Modi’s travels during this time is Modi himself: even his family had no idea of his whereabouts. “Mother and all of us were very worried for him,” Sombhai recalled. “We had no idea where he had disappeared to. Then, two years later, he just turned up one day. He told us he had decided to end his sanyas and would go to Ahmedabad and work at our uncle Babubhai’s canteen.” “I remember,” one of the Modi family’s neighbours in Vadnagar told me, “before Narendra left again, his mother wanted to set him up with his wife, so they asked Jashodaben’s parents to send her here for gauna. On the day Jashodaben came for gauna, Modi fought with the family and left home again.” In Ahmedabad, Modi helped his uncle run a canteen at the city bus stand, and then set up his own teacart on a cycle near Geeta Mandir.
— Vinod K. Jose, The Emperor Uncrowned, Caravan

There are 162 words in the Wikipedia passage.

Narendra Modi and Jashodaben had an arranged marriage in the custom of the Ghanchi caste of Vadnagar. Around age three or four they were engaged. Around age thirteen they had shaadi, which is the wedding of marriages in India. When Modi was eighteen and his wife was fifteen, it was time for gauna, a consummation practice. Shortly after this time, Modi separated from his wife and began wandering in the Himalayas practicing Sannyasa for two years out of contact with anyone who knew him. When he returned to contact with his family, he made plans to go to Ahmedabad to work at his uncle's canteen without Jashodaben. Before he left, his mother arranged for Jashodaben's parents to send her to meet Modi to sustain the gauna. The day that she arrived in the house of Modi's family, Modi had an argument with them and left their home to meet his uncle as planned. After Modi left, he continued with his professional life.

Here is the coverage in the Narendra Modi article. This is 68 words.

In keeping with the traditions of the Ghanchi caste, Modi's marriage was arranged by his parents while he was still a child. He was engaged at the age of 13 to Jashodaben Chimanlal, and the couple were married by the time he was 18. They spent little time together, and were soon estranged when Modi decided to pursue an itinerant life. The marriage was reportedly never consummated.

I had counted the words in the "His parents had...uncertain families behind" paragraph in the Caravan article, but even the extended extracts, with discussion of Modi's sanyas and his work in a canteen, doesn't change my substantive point. Essentially we differ in our editorial judgment on what is the appropriate level of detail in a secondary source versus a tertiary source, and whether WP:GNG is a substitute for the requisite editorial judgment. IMO wikipedia errs on the issue sometimes, and when the error concerns trivialities (eg, Invitations to the first inauguration of Barack Obama) it is best to let it go. However when it concerns issues of BLP, like in a properly sourced and GNG compliant (yet unencyclopedic) article on Michelle Obama's arms or this particular AFD, we need to be more vigilant about what writing an encyclopedia means. Abecedare (talk) 16:00, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can think of remarkably few marriages in all of human history (as close as possible, in fact, to exactly none as I can get without falling afoul of the "never say never" rule) that would actually warrant a standalone encyclopedia article on the marriage itself, separate from the biographical articles about the bride and/or groom — and, indeed, as far as I can tell we appear not to have standalone articles about any other individual marriage in the history of human marriage. And I'm not seeing any strong evidence that this one is so hugely significant as to warrant being the first time we've ever done such a thing, either. We cover marriages in the BLPs of the individual people who got married, not in separate content fork articles where the marriage itself is the topic.

Delete and salt The discussion on Jashodaben is getting tedious. As mentioned above (and in every other AfD on her), she is a WP:BLP1E and this event is WP:SENSATION. The 'for' camp have come up with no new reasons why the article should stay, whereas the 'against' camp have consistently had solid reasons for its exclusion. Primefac (talk) 09:45, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is well enough sourced that it should be included somewhere, and meets the GNG. The re-scoping has nicely defined that the article to not be a BLP1E, it should not now attract information on every part of the woman's life. It is an appropriate spinout of the PM because the detail is decidedly tangential. Yes, this is an unusual case. Rarely does a such a notable marriage involve one person who has never been public. If not to be kept as a standalone article, merging is appropriate and deletion is not. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:54, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Many good reasons have been already presented. Subject is not significant enough have its own article. The relevant information is already present in Modi's own article. Modi is a high profile politician and everything related to him will get lot of coverage, but that won't make them independently notable. Moreover, the point of contention in Indian politics is Modi hiding his marital status not Jashodaben or his marriage with Jashodaben.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 11:05, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets GNG. May not be as well-known to those in the US or Britain as more local political nonsense, but nonetheless has adequate coverage.

Even allowing for the apparent poor condition, and the fact that it is not going to be Crabtree anyway (unless the artist was one of the instigators of the hoax), it hasn't got the character, life and style of a Raeburn.

Delete. UCL and the Crabtree Foundation are entitled to their in-joke, but Wikipedia is not here to help them spread it. The article was originated and has been largely maintained by two near SPAs, Drbrizzle (talk · contribs) and JoeCrabtree (talk · contribs). It was originated by Drbrizzle in this version, which was a hoax presenting Crabtree as real (the word "fictional" was not added to the title until 2013); and even when forced to admit that is fiction, he is still trying to resist the substitution of "invented" for "revealed" in the lead sentence. If we are to have an article at all, it should be more like WikiDan's version, but I agree with John Blackburne - it is an academic in-joke, a long-running one and not a bad one, but it has not produced the level of independent comment that would constitute notability.

For such an important musician (according to the article), you should expect more than 267 unique hits (including namesakes). In my opinion, fails WP:GNG. Looks like selfpromo. The Banner talk 16:32, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When you do a Google Search on "David" and "Longeria", I get about 27 million hits. But when searching on "David Longoria" I only get 53 200 hits.

Delete Fails to meet any of the criteria of WP:NALBUMS. As pointed out, the sources are unacceptable, being promotional in nature or (in the case of the BBC mention) trivial.

Keep. Enough references to push it over the cusp of notability. It's been covered by most of the big alt rock mags already, which means those magazines will inevitably write big fat reviews the week after its release on November 17. Come back for assessment in December, after the reviews like this have moved to sputnik music and such. Earflaps (talk) 17:13, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The references are trivial and/or promotional, thus not indicating notability. And it would be insane to keep an article because an editor believes that there may be references available in the future. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 22:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, waiting three days is insane? We must define the word differently, since Wikipedia isn't in a hurry. Also, what's your opinion on this reference? I assume there are others, haven't gone through more than about four google search pages. Earflaps (talk) 07:15, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think much of the review. Hit The Floor magazine clearly don't have much of an inclusion criteria other than "if you email it to us and we have the time, we'll review it", although if a band is willing to pay, they do "offer a fast track review service". Not what I would call a reliable source. As for WP:DEADLINE, it is only an opinion piece and one I personally loath because of how many times I've seen people use it to claim articles should be kept on the off-chance that their subject suddenly becomes notable in the future. (I'm not saying you're deliberately misusing it like that, just to be clear). ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 07:59, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Point noted. About the magazine piece, I personally feel it's notable but then I'm not basing that on first-hand experience with the magazine, just impression. About their review criteria, I'm pretty sure most online music publications will write a review if they get a promo CD from a major band (and I'm sure money to the editor doesn't hurt), so I'm not quite clear what separates this magazine from, say, a Vice Media website like Noisey. Either way, still could use better sources, not going to argue there. I'll try and do some research today, help always appreciated. Earflaps (talk) 12:19, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Television characters do not automatically qualify for separate standalone articles just because they exist — if you cannot add reliable sources which provide real-world context for why the character is a notable topic in an encyclopedia, then all they really warrant is inclusion in a list of characters. But that's not what this is — it's just an in-universe summary of plots she was involved in, which provides no demonstration whatsoever of why this belongs in an encyclopedia rather than a Degrassi fansite. Delete or merge into a character list unless real sources demonstrating real notability can actually be added. Bearcat (talk) 22:41, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep, or merge I see an opinion above that we cannot keep an article with only three references. That's a much stricter requirement than the GNG, which at most requiees two. I've heard it suggested it should be 3, but I have never before heard it suggested it should be >3. If that's the arguemnt for deletion, the conclusion would be keep as adequately referenced.

Delete - I'm just not seeing it. (1) To address the question of GNG/BIO: A few announcements of her casting, but doesn't every casting announcement of a high-profile movie get press in trade magazines like Variety (which indeed just reports that she was cast and little more). The Stars of Tomorrow piece is ok, but again brief and I'm suspect of any short bio that prominently gives her manager's contact information. (2) But here's the bigger question. Let me assume, for a moment, that these sources are enough to scrape by GNG. That doesn't automatically mean there should be a stand-alone article if there's just not enough to write about. What can it say based on these sources -- what can it grow into based on these sources, without turning into a promotional piece filled with quotes and primary sourcing? That she is cast in these two movies; she was named a Star of Tomorrow? If there's not more to write, but we know that there will be, then that's precisely what WP:CRYSTALBALL/WP:TOOSOON are for. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:38, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD is drive-by, in particular, as it seems, Tamravidhir may be relentlessly stalking (pardon my wording) Sadman Sakibzz and AfD-ing all articles created by him. Bangladesh deletion sorting page is filled with AfD's from mostly one user. It is up to question, whether all articles created by Sadman Sakibzz satisfy strong notability; but it is evident that Tamravidhir is not spending much time in investigating before boldly putting up for deletion discussion. Furthermore, she is explicitly threatening to ban. I am not sure if it is a case of Wikihounding, but one party may very well perceive it so. – nafSadh did say 21:14, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Notability in Wikipedia is based on in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources. There are none such in the article (LinkedIn, a blog page he wrote himself, the pages of a company where he works and a school where he teaches etc.). However, I may have overlooked something: I had thought that the Jeffrey Eisenach caught up in the ethics investigation of Newt Gingrich was a different person, since there is no mention of that, of GOPAC or of the PFF in the article. But this source seems to suggest they are one and the same. If so, I would imagine that that would make him notable by our standards. Thoughts, anyone?

Johanson3 articles[edit]

I cannot not agree with Lemnaminor as articles have more than BBC blog. Please have a look at http://www.gizmodo.de/2014/09/09/johanson3-das-allround-fahrzeug-fuer-den-umweltbewussten-staedter.html http://www.techfieber.de/2014/08/31/johanson3-das-allround-fahrzeug-fuer-den-umweltbewussten-staedter-video/ http://goodcrowd.info/post/93407293659/belgian-transport-designer-johan-neerman-announces http://www.industrie-techno.com/le-velo-solaire-qui-veut-remplacer-la-voiture.32282 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/innovative-approach-personal-mobility-launches-111400050.html Also check company data at http://kbopub.economie.fgov.be/kbopub/toonondernemingps.html?ondernemingsnummer=837049028 Johanson3 product holds several patents on innovation and technology. You can find this information by doing your homework on google. This proves the uniqueness of the product and its originality. Before expressing unvalid statements and give personal opinion please do your research on the subject. I would like to encourage you also to have a look at the story of this company and their background http://archives.lesoir.be/neerman-dans-le-metro_t-20000819-Z0JKRZ.html/ http://archives.lesoir.be/100-vagues-a-lames-l-irresistible-legerete-de-l-alu-les_t-20030307-Z0MWVF.html http://neerman.net You can find more information in the books, journals, printed editions and archives noted at the page of the owner of the company as it was created in 1967 and internet at that time was not so popular. Nominator Brightgalrs appears to have no expertise in the field and seems to focus on ( please follow the link) https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=User:Brightgalrs which makes his statements suspicious of any decent contribution to the page - Regards, - Julia Williams123 — Preceding undated comment added 09:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Johanson3 and related articles[edit]

I am really keen on removing AFD template and closing this discussion. For the following reasons:

It was open for more than 7 days already and didn’t receive any negative feedback from the other editors (In general, deletion discussions should remain open for at least seven days to allow interested editors adequate time to participate)
Written article has all necessary proof of trustworthy; also status data of the company is currently available on internet and the state website. If nominator Brightgalrs cannot find it I encourage him to have a look at http://kbopub.economie.fgov.be/kbopub/toonondernemingps.html?ondernemingsnummer=837049028 (A "speedy keep" outcome is appropriate when the nomination unquestionably is an attempt to vandalize or to otherwise create disruption)
I see just negative erroneous that they indicate that the nominator Brightgalrs has not even read the article in question.

I also would like to ask the administrator to close this discussion and relist article. Julia Williams123 — Preceding undated comment added 08:49, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks please: don't take these discussions personally. Going through your sources:

[27] shows that the company exists and is registered in Belgium - that in itself is not sufficient to indicate notability
neerman.net is a primary source
both lesoir articles do not mention Johanson3 at all
the gizmodo and techfieber articles are largely identical and appear to be German translations of the press release announcing the company's indiegogo campaign
the yahoo 'article' is that same press release
goodcrowd.info allows anybody to submit articles 'in the form of a standard press release': it does not seem a reliable source
industrie-techno.com is basically a French translation of the company's press materials. The article is placed in their design and mockup section, indicating that there is no real product yet.

That leaves the BBC blog as the only more or less RS and leads to the conclusion that this company and its proposed product are not notable. In addition, Julia Williams123 seems to be a SPA with a very close connection to the subject: this user almost exclusively edits articles on the Neerman family and companies, or inserts pictures of the Johanson3 into vaguely related articles.--Lemnaminor (talk) 18:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot agree with you. LeSoir article is destined to speak about the creator behind the johanson3 series. If you do understand French you will see that the inventor has notable background by designing various transport systems in Europe which is recognized worldwide. The Name of Johan Neerman is clearly identifiable in this article. You can also follow that the same person is the creator of the range of the johanson3 e-bikes and the creator of the company. The link to Website provided proves that the company exists and in good standing. It is not a company directory that you may consider not verified it’s a government website with all data registration. Regarding articles in Gizmodo, Techfieber, Yahoo, Industrie–techno, photovoltaic and others they were all written by different editors. You can find the name of the editors. Yes indeed they all talk about johanson3 like a new way of transportation but they are not like you call identical as they are put by different editors and in different languages nothing to do with a copy of press release. All links provided above proves the information to be only of a professional nature with no personal point of view. It seems that you keep disliking professional publications for more personal reasons than professional ones as you have not read them thoroughly. Regarding comment of “not notable”. Company and product johanson3 own several international patents. Do your homework on google it will give you some more thought. Among of all reasons for deletions I cannot find any that will be related to the articles. I see just a person giving his personal views by trying to impose weak conclusions about the company. Facts are there. Apparently you did not check good enough the reliable sources that I have provided you. I understand that may be you have your personal opinion and strong feelings about and the inventor. It would be greatly appreciated if you would try not to violate content.

Regarding my close connection to the subject I’m quite happy that you understand that I write always in the same field of transportation also please note that nor Brightgalrs nor Lemnaminor (talk) have no experience in writing in the field of transportation or any close related field. See bellow

First, it doesn't really matter who actually nominates an article for deletion. Second, the references are utter crap end of story. The first sentence of the article "Johanson3 scooters are made of a range of 5 light electric stable (trikes)with 4Kw maximum that have high payload capacity and the natural extension of the pedestrian due to its high sitting position." is supported by [28] and [29] as references.

Delete. I agree that the BBC blog counts towards notability (after having jumped through hoops to view it as BBC Worldwide is not accessible from the UK, apparently we are not part of "the world"), but by itself it is not enough to establish notability per WP:N — "multiple sources are generally expected". All the rest of the sources are company listings or PR fluff. This may be notable one day, but right now it is WP:TOOSOON.

I would also like to comment that the long diatribe by Julia Williams123 against her opponents is just not acceptable here. It is cluttering the page and doing your case no good. It is the strength of policy based arguments that count, not what articles the participants have been editing, or anything else about them personally. SpinningSpark 19:55, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.I don’t like to repeat myself but I would like to explain you once more regarding this issue of notability. Its notable simply because never anyone delivered a product like that before despite notes from Brightgalrs. Please note it’s not a designer’s concept or just idea. These are 5 engineered products by johanson3 company.

List of the articles listed below has nothing to do with PR fluff. They are from wellknown proven international resources. I like the way you guys critisize my article but you don’t know what you are talking about. Also regarding your comment about “diatribe by Julia Williams123 against her opponentsis just not acceptable” I consider that I have my right here like the author of the article to explain my work by adding valid arguments. If you do have an issue with innovation in mobility why using Wikipedia for it? You can complain to its inventor who owns intellectual property on his innovations. You seem to be rather desperate in trying trying to push always the same song by trying to impose personal views and issues with the topic which has nothing to do with the quality of the content of these articles which brings all the necessary proof of their reliability. Here is some statement of notability 1. This range of products are significant involvement by a notable person (in our case Johan Neerman ) and is a major part of his career. I think it will be totally insain to challenge work done in the past by Johan Neerman and company Neerman Consulting which designed major transport systems worldwide. The product represents a unique accomplishment in the field as it was never creadted before. More over its patented for various technologies. Please pay attention its not passing along random gossip like you may say it’s the famous publications and reputable independent media sources. And article complies fair and balanced Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. They are not advertising a product their just tell why its notable and innovative. Before Writing just about BBC look at http://www.gizmodo.de/2014/09/09/johanson3-das-allround-fahrzeug-fuer-den-umweltbewussten-staedter.html http://www.techfieber.de/2014/08/31/johanson3-das-allround-fahrzeug-fuer-den-umweltbewussten-staedter-video/ http://www.industrie-techno.com/le-velo-solaire-qui-veut-remplacer-la-voiture.32282 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/innovative-approach-personal-mobility-launches-111400050.html Vorsatz William (October 2014). "Dreirad mit Solardach". Photovoltaik 99: 96. I hope this time I answer your questions and I dont see the point to keep going with the same idea as article contain not just BBC source. Read it carefully. If you don’t like the article or the product please note its not a reason to not recognize notability. Also the last but not the least note. Look at Notability there stated: “Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability.” Please keep in mind that also.

"Its notable simply because never anyone delivered a product like that before", that's not how Wikipedia defines notability and is not a valid argument for keeping a page. Please listen to what other people are telling you, no one is proposing deletion because they don't like the product, that is irrelevant and another pointless attack on fellow editors. Lemnaminor has already made an assessment of your sources and I am going along with that until there is some evidence to the contrary. SpinningSpark 21:33, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, probably to Johan Neerman or to a new section Johan Neerman#Johanson3 and leave redirects behind, and possibly protect the redirects from editing by non-administrators. The product seems pretty cool. However it is wp:TOOSOON to be covered separately in Wikipedia, as there seem to exist only press-release-type coverage, not reliable source (wp:RS)-type reviews by others. If the product is so great (which it does look like it might be, in my non-professional opinion), then it will eventually get wp:RS type coverage. But Wikipedia needs to follow, not lead, in giving out info, and should generally state what secondary/tertiary sources say about something. The main characteristic of the product is that it has a great design, attributed to designer Johan Neerman, and asserted by Julia Williams123 above to be "a major part of his career". So, why not create a section about this great design in Johan's article. And redirect from Johanson3 to there, for now, at least until separate notability of Johanson3 becomes established. This preserves edit history, better for the record if/when notability is established. I then suggest that Julia Williams123 or other editors plan to create a future, better article in the Articles For Creation wp:AFC process, in the future, to replace the redirect, eventually, assuming reliable sources are given so that AFC editors will approve the new article. I think this is best... --do ncr am 00:35, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I agree with the "merge" suggestion. This particular product is not yet out of the starting gate, so adding the information to the page for Johan Neerman (where other products are also listed) gives it a holding place for now. Should the product gain notability, it can be separated out. LaMona (talk) 23:29, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
