The Expulsion (film)[edit]

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

short article about an old, lost, silent movie. does not seem to be independently notable. Since it is a lost silent movie from close to a hundred years ago, it wouldn't be able to get expanded from a stub anyway Wasabi,the,one (talk) 23:15, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A film by the great F. W. Murnau about which significant information exists; no reason to delete it. Lotte Eisner goes into detail about the plot and critical response in her 1972 book about Murnau.[1] Coverage in other books, in English and in German, is evident from a look at the find sources links above. Another alternative title was Driven from Home [2] --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Arxiloxos. All properly sourced films, regardless of age or existence status, have a place within Wikipedia, especially those directed by iconic filmmakers such as Murnau. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 06:15, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (snow keep?) per the above, especially the substantial coverage in the Eisner book. AllyD (talk) 06:42, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Arxiloxos and WP:BEFORE. I found another source through Google books that gives a bit more depth, including stills from the film (added to the article). I'll assume good faith that the nom knows all about F. W. Murnau and how important his films are to the history of cinema. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although a quick look at the nom's recent history shows they're a new editor, starting lots of AfDs, and all the ones I've checked have been speedy keeps. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Alquilar[edit]

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

Article fails to demonstrate notability. Primary reason for notability seems to have been her misspelling of names, as an artist, in a commissioned mural. See WP:BLP1E. Only refs are an obituary and a Salon slide show caption (not usually a valid citation) about "tragic moments in spelling". General Ization ^Talk 23:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Katherine Barrell[edit]

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

Delete. Despite Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katherine Barrell having closed as a delete, a good faith attempt was made to recreate this with more sourcing than was shown the first time — so I'm not speedying this G4 as a recreation of deleted content. But unfortunately, the new sourcing isn't better, and still doesn't get her over the WP:NACTOR bar — except for one reliable source which verifies the existence of a series that she's in but fails to contain any mention of her at all, the sourcing here is still parked entirely on blogs, primary sources and user-generated content sites (Digital Journal, especially, being notorious for frequent misuse as a platform for creating and distributing self-published "sourcing" to support the creation of Wikipedia articles — a concern which is not assuaged by the fact that the Digital Journal article is conveniently dated as having been created and posted to DJ during our conduct of the first AFD discussion.) There is still zero evidence of any reliable source coverage about her, which means this is still not includable. Bearcat (talk) 19:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically in regards to the dating of the Digital Journal article, I wouldn't be too concerned about self-published sourcing in this case. The publishing date indicates that the interview would have taken place following episode 9 of Wynonna Earp (in which Katherine Barrell's character features quite prominently). That timing appears legitimate and separate from the original deletion discussion of the Katherine Barrell article. UvaSEP (talk) 20:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Besides web-based entertainment media, actors appearing in science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural television series receive coverage in media sources that cater to these genres. Her fan base is on the rise and her role in "Wynonna Earp" is being actively promoted by Syfy. In addition to acting credits, Barrell is an independent film director, producer, and writer. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 05:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The InsideHalton article looks especially useful, as that's a newspaper profile of her. Tabercil (talk) 12:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly all of those are blogs, primary sources or user-generated sources, which are classes of sourcing that Wikipedia policy explicitly rejects as not reliable or notability-assisting. The only one that even slightly counts for anything at all is Inside Halton, but that's a community weekly newspaper which is neither widely distributed enough, nor archived anywhere that we could retrieve the content if the website ever died — so it's also not a source that can aid passage of WP:GNG in and of itself. Get back to us when you can show coverage in major market daily newspapers on the order of the Toronto Star, the Calgary Herald or The New York Times, or magazines on the order of Entertainment Weekly — the sources you've listed here so far are not aiding your case. Bearcat (talk) 16:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Get back to us...." ??? What is your problem? You obviously don't seem to know very much about New Media that targets science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural genres. Breaking News...they're not going to be The New York Times or any cog in the wheel of old media. Perhaps WP needs to wake up and smell the 2016. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 05:28, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's rules about what constitutes reliable sourcing require (a) an established record of being a reputable source of information, and (b) that the content is archived somewhere so that if the website ever dies or prunes old content or otherwise disappears the web URL in question, the reference will still be a valid one because it will still be recoverable somewhere (the source's verifiability, in other words, has to be permanent.) If those rules bias our sourcing pool toward "cogs in the wheel of old media" and make it harder (not impossible, but harder) for a new media startup to clear the bar, then that's not our problem — websites can and do shut down and/or prune old content to clear server space, so it's a central rule that to count toward GNG, a source has to have some kind of "this source will always be accessible to us, even if we have to dig back into old microfilms again, regardless of what might happen to this particular web URL in the future" permanence, because the source is no longer verifiable otherwise. Bearcat (talk) 18:12, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(1) What makes you think the sources aren't reputable? Some of them are the same press representatives that participate in media press conferences for TV shows (you would know this if you were familiar with electronic media covering science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural genres); (2) "content is archived somewhere". All the sources referenced-above are archived. Editors such as I always make sure that citations for any WP article we edit are also archived. Have you heard of the Internet Archive? Check it out. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 06:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has specific objective rules to determine what makes a source reliable or not reliable, and every one of the sources under discussion in this subthread explicitly and objectively fails one or more of them. I am not making a personal judgement about whether I personally trust the source or not; I'm simply applying Wikipedia's established rules about the factors that determine whether a source counts as reliable and notability-conferring or not. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a Calgary Herald article and coverage from Toronto Film Scene. We now have coverage from Entertainment Weekly and Calgary Herald, both of which you suggested as examples of sources that are notability-assisting. This is in addition to the Collider article (which is owned by Complex Media), and a film magazine. These appear to be reputable, recoverable sources. UvaSEP (talk) 18:43, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Check the references list before you add citations because the Calgary Herald article already existed as a referenced source. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 06:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will do! UvaSEP (talk) 17:36, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Calgary Herald: still not about her, but merely contains a single glancing mention of her name in the process of not having her as its subject. You're not getting how this works at all — she has to be substantively the subject of a piece of reliable source coverage before it counts toward getting her over GNG, not merely have her existence namechecked in an article about something else. Bearcat (talk) 22:00, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then: the B City Magazine interview in the above list of sources qualifies. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 06:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her existence is not merely namechecked in an article about something else. The Calgary Herald article is devoted to a show in which she is present, and portrays her as an integral part of said show, specifically mentioning the impact of her character within the LGBT community. Furthermore she is the subject of both the Toronto Film Scene article and the B City Magazine article, and is one of the primary subjects of the Collider article. In a similar fashion, she is one of the primary subjects of the Entertainment Weekly article, which also included her as a subject in their SDCC 2016 star portraits. These articles represent substantive, reliable source coverage of the subject. UvaSEP (talk) 23:01, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

B City Magazine is a local-to-her-own-hometown blog hosted on WordPress, which means it is not a reliable or notability-conferring source — WordPress blogs, on which anybody can publish anything they want with no editorial oversight for accuracy or notability, are never valid sources for anything on Wikipedia. The Calgary Herald article is not substantively about her, but contains one single solitary mention of her name. Toronto Film Scene is also a blog; it falls close enough to the line between the kind of blogs we can accept for sourcing and the kind that we can't that it would be acceptable for some supplementary sourcing of stray facts after GNG had already been passed by stronger sources, but it does not count toward the establishment of whether GNG is passed or not. And an interview video clip, in which a person is effectively talking about herself, does not count toward the establishment of GNG either — things people say about themselves in interviews can be self-serving or hype-inflated or self-promotional in nature, where GNG requires that third parties are writing or broadcasting content about the topic in the third person. So just like community newspapers and the better classes of blogs, a Q&A-style interview, regardless of whether it's in video or print format, does not assist passage of GNG and may be used only for supplementary confirmation of stray facts after GNG has already been met. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"B City Magazine is a local-to-her-own-hometown blog hosted on WordPress". Not.the.source.I.posted. What I used is the PRINT edition of the magazine. Did you bother to look at the source I linked? Obviously, no. And since when is a local magazine or newspaper not an acceptable source? What do you think The Toronto Star is? You've got an axe to grind ... this is clear. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 22:50, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you won't accept reliable source coverage about her work, and won't accept interviews about her, what possible sourcing is left? Over 20 references have been provided, and yet you have rejected all of them. Such a bar is unreasonable. UvaSEP (talk) 19:37, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Do not delete While some of these sources do appear to be user-generated, others appear to be reliable secondary source coverage. The Digital Journal is a news service, and while some content is user generated, the article in question was written by a top editor of the site with 20+ years of experience. In a similar manner, the hypable article was written by an senior staff member with a Masters in Journalism. Richard Crouse's recognition of Barrell's short film Issues appears to be legitimate, as he is regarded as one of Canada's top film critics. Furthermore SyFy's coverage of Barrell's presence at SDCC 2016 appears to be a reliable secondary source, as does the Inside Halton newspaper article (I fail to see a distribution size requirement for news organizations). These sources in tandem support Katherine Barrell's status as an individual who has received significant coverage. UvaSEP (talk) 23:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User-generated sites are always automatically invalid sourcing for a Wikipedia article with no exceptions ever, so Digital Journal is a permanent non-starter. Hypable is also not a reliable source, for the same reason. Richard Crouse "recognized" her short film on his own blog, not in an article published in a newspaper — and his "recognition" consisted of acknowledging the film's existence in a "listings directory" manner, not writing anything substantive about it, so it helps nothing. And yes, GNG most certainly does place limits on what newspapers count toward satisfying it and what newspapers don't; major market dailies support notability, while community weeklies may be used only for verification of stray facts after an article has already gotten over GNG. Bearcat (talk) 02:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crouse's listing is the result of his curation of what he considered to be the best short films of 2013. In any case we are still left with at least two reliable secondary sources with SyFy's SDCC 2016 coverage and the Entertainment Weekly reference, with a newspaper article and Crouse's professional recognition as additional support. UvaSEP (talk) 03:22, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SyFy is the network her show is on, so it's a directly affiliated primary source which is not independent of her — the network has a vested interest in publicizing the cast members of its own shows. The newspaper article is still a community weekly newspaper that does not count toward GNG. And Crouse's "listing" is still just a glancing mention of her existence in a blog entry that isn't about her. Bearcat (talk) 18:15, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Entertainment Weekly ref added. Meets WP:GNG. Article could use expansion and improved referencing, not deletion per WP:ATD. Hmlarson (talk) 00:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Entertainment Weekly reference is not about her; it just mentions her existence in a glancing manner alongside several of her other castmates, and fails to be substantive coverage with her as its subject. And it takes more than just one citation to one reliable source to pass GNG, especially when that one citation is as weak as that one is. Bearcat (talk) 02:51, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Entertainment Weekly reference is interviewing the cast in anticipation of Wynonna Earp's second season, in which she is presented in an equal manner. UvaSEP (talk) 03:22, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how "substantive coverage about her" works. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources include in-depth here and in-depth here plus she's getting other roles besides Wynonna Earp such as this one. Meets the GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All three of those sources have already been addressed above as to why they're not acceptable: Digital Journal = WP:USERG sites are never acceptable referencing under any circumstances; EW = not substantively about her, but just glancingly namechecks her existence. Inside Halton = community weekly newspaper, not widely distributed enough to count as GNG-conferring coverage. In terms of coverage that gets her over GNG, we're still sitting at zero here. Bearcat (talk) 22:00, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources work for me. I believe them.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter whether you believe them or not. Wikipedia has objective rules about what's a reliable source and what isn't; WordPress blogs and user-generated content cannot and do not count as reliable sources regardless of what you think of them, and community weekly newspapers or glancing namechecks of a person's existence in an article that isn't about them do not aid passage of GNG but are permissible only for supplementary confirmation of stray facts after GNG has already been satisfied by other sources. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also believe the Toronto Star which wrote "a good effort from Katherine Barrell as lead character" even though it trashed the film My Ex-Ex. But if I believe in the Toronto Star, maybe that invalidates it as a reliable source for you?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:21, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again: not about her; it simply namechecks her existence in a blurb whose subject is the film — and that blurb is so short and non-substantive that it wouldn't even be able to carry the film over GNG, let alone its cast members. This is not the first time I have had to explain to you that just because a person's name appears in a reliable source does not automatically cover off the notability issue by itself — e.g. a person's existence being verifiable in a daily newspaper just because she once wrote a letter to the food columnist asking for a kale recipe does not in and of itself demonstrate her notability, as you once tried to argue that it did. Even in the Toronto Star, a piece of coverage has to be substantively about her, not just contain a single mention of her existence in an article about something else, to aid passage of GNG. In point of fact, we literally just within the past couple of weeks deleted an article about one of the other people named in that very blurb as one of her costars in that very film, because coverage substantively enough about him to satisfy GNG was not locatable and that blurb wouldn't have made a whit of difference. There is a big difference between being able to reliably source that a person exists — even I can be "referenced" to reliable sources as existing — and being able to reliably source that they have sufficient notability to belong in an encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 18:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, all considered, sources are sufficient for GNG, including this in-depth one. Further, according to WP:BASIC, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability.... So, I think you're over a Barrell.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:26, 5 September 2016 (UTC) Another thing: yes I know pageview counts are not an official measure, but over the seven years I've been contributing here, it is rare when an article with over 200+ pageviews a day gets deleted. It means there's a huge fan base -- people who will re-float the article if its deleted, like customers annoyed that their type of candy is no longer on the shelf.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Mary Sue is yet another blog, still not a reliable or notability-conferring source. Honestly, I have nothing in particular against Katherine Barrell — but the quality and volume of sourcing that it takes for an actress to get a Wikipedia article just is not being shown. You can't just smother this discussion with more blogs. Bearcat (talk) 20:40, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Mary Sue is not a blog but an online geek feminist culture magazine started by ABC TV host and legal affairs expert Dan Abrams, with seven editors; the publication is growing fast. As print media declines, Wikipedia will look to sources like The Mary Sue to a greater extent. In the context of this discussion, it is a reliable source.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:17, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep In spite of the weaker references, the strength of mainstream news coverage combined with New Media puts this one over the top, not by much, but enough. I do not concur that a "single glancing mention of her name in the process of not having her as its subject" discounts the source. Montanabw^(talk) 03:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As Montanabw writes, the sources aren't great, but they aren't negligible. The combination of the Burlington Post article, the Toronto Film Scene article, and the Digital Journal article suffice for me. They are not just name-drops, they are lengthy articles dedicated to the actress. Yes, the first is a local paper, and the second and third are digital only, but they're not just blogs. --GRuban (talk) 21:20, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact mentioned in the text that "nothing was announced on the news, the restaurant's website, or anywhere on the internet" should be a clue to the fact that this restaurant lacked notability while it was still functioning, even more so when it is closed. A mere 150 hits in Google, mostly lists and blogs, two book mentions (plain restaurant listings), five news mentions in five years (all in same local newspaper.

Delete uh yeah, nothing of substance here - David Gerard (talk) 10:29, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as both the information and sources are essentially PR, nothing actually comes close to being genuine for trimming because it's all so unacceptable. SwisterTwister talk 05:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Perfectly acceptable article for a restaurant. Being closed means absolutely nothing re notability as we are not a restaurant guide. Here is a very long and in-depth article in the Winnipeg Free Press, which is Winnipeg's main daily paper. That's more than many restaurants get, that have articles here. Here is a full length review, at Caio! Magazine, which appears to be slick and professional outfit. So there's your two in-depth notable reliable sources, so it meets WP:GNG right there and that's not including the briefer mentions at TripAdvisor and so forth. If you want to override WP:GNG you need better arguments than "nothing of substance" or "all so unacceptable" and so on.

Also this is not a promotional article and clearly is not the work of a PR flack (the article could stand some improvement though). PR operatives are seldom hired to represent defunct entities, you know. And while Google hits mean nothing, I got more than ten times the 150 claimed... is there anything correct in this nomination and the comments so far, I'm wondering... "local paper" for chrissakes, Winnipeg is sprawling metropolis with 663,617 (and that's just inside the city limits) and the Free Press was founded in 1872. Can we please not characterize it as if it's some small-town weekly?

I have now cleaned up the article, which (since this is not a WP:TNT situation), should not have had much bearing on the question of the article's existence, but perhaps it will now be acceptable? Herostratus (talk) 01:11, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Herostratus: With all due respect, I resent the tone in your comments. You sweeping "is there anything correct in this nomination" is completely uncalled for. Please assume good faith.

Two points of clarification. First, Google hits: You are obviously not aware of a certain peculiarity in the hit counting in a Google search. When you make a search, you have to ignore the count number coming up on the first page of results, like here with 1890 hits. You have to look at the last page of results, like here with 155 hits.

Second, local newspaper: I have never suggested that Winnipeg Free Press is not a quality newspaper of standing. I am sure it is. My point was that the Google News search finds no coverage anywhere else than in this one local (=Winnipeg) paper. No coverage from non-local (=non-Winnipeg) papers, no coverage in any other local (=Winnipeg] paper. (I assume there are other newspapers in Winnipeg.) I could add that it does not even look as if Winnipeg Free Press found the closure of the restaurant worth mentioning, at least it does not turn up on the Google News search.

Having said this, I am glad that you have cleaned up the article. If the result should be "Keep", it is surely more acceptable than the original version. Very much so, good job! But my nomination stands. Regards! --T*U (talk) 15:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- no indications of notability even when the restaurant was open. The coverage is mostly local press which does not meet WP:AUD. A place of local notability, and that's it. Not sufficient to meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sheesh, just to point out a few facts:

It's not a vote. To delete an article, there has to be some some sort of attempt, even if feeble, at policy-based argument. Otherwise policies mean nothing. I call on the closer to consider this.
The Winnipeg Free Press is not "local coverage" as meant by WP:AUD. This is not a matter of opinion but of fact. The Winnipeg Free Press is the broadsheet paper of record of Manitoba -- a place larger than Spain or the Ukraine and with a population of 1.2 million -- and its oldest and far and away its highest-circulation daily newspaper. It is a "local paper" if and only if one considers the New York Times to be a local paper for some city in New York State. This is not what is meant by "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation". It doesn't matter how hard you squint: WP:AUD was not intended to exclude very large metropolitan daily papers (which would mean excluding all but a small handful of newspapers worldwide, for all subjects), and I have never seen it taken this way, until now. It's completely outside the letter, spirit, and prior application of policy.
The article meets WP:GNG (and WP:CORP). This is not my opinion, but a fact. WP:GNG states

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention... [examples are then given] "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline... "Sources" should be secondary sources...

This is something that editors need to read and get up to speed on. Anyway, the article contains four references that, now matter how you squint or spin it, are "in depth" and "reliable" and "independent of the subject" and also in notable venues, if those English words have any meaning, so by definition it meets WP:GNG

I mean I guess you could answer the above by saying "no it doesn't". You could say "don't care, just not notable to me" or "the article is written in Spanish" or "it's just a blank page" or any other wrong thing. This would be only a slight step down from the arguments I have seen so far.

Now, we are not required to keep any article, even those that that obviously pass WP:GNG, if we don't want to. But for this article to be deleted we need an argument along the lines of "Yes, easily meets WP:GNG and WP:CORP but should be deleted anyway because _______", and the blank has to contain something beyond argument by assertion or "is defunct" (so is RJR Nabisco and Penn Central Railroad and the Mongol Empire etc.) or flat-out false statements or whatever. Have not seen any to this point. Herostratus (talk) 23:02, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The distribution range of an individual media outlet does not singlehandedly carry a topic over WP:AUD — the location of the publication vis-à-vis the location of the topic is where AUD comes into play. That is, a piece of coverage of a restaurant would pass AUD if it appears in a geographically-removed publication such as the Calgary Herald or the Toronto Star — but a newspaper published in the same town or city that the restaurant is located does in not pass AUD just because that paper also happens to have some secondary readership beyond the city limits. Because so does The New York Times, but that doesn't mean every hipster gourmet chip stand in Williamsburg gets to have a Wikipedia article the moment it's gotten reviewed in the NYT's food section — and so does the Toronto Star, but that doesn't mean I get a Wikipedia article just because I've been in it a couple of times for reasons of no substantively encyclopedic interest. AUD is passed if publications not based in Winnipeg think a restaurant in Winnipeg is of interest to their readership for some reason — it is not passed just because a newspaper which is based in Winnipeg, and is thus covering the topic in a purely local-interest context, happens to also ship some copies to Brandon and Thompson and The Pas.

Delete. This claims nothing that would make it a topic of any substantive or permanent encyclopedic interest, and cites no non-local coverage to pass the WP:AUD test (which, as noted above, is not passed just because a local publication happens to have some extralocal readership.) We could nearly always write an article like this about almost any restaurant that has ever existed in the world at all, if local coverage verifying inconsequential facts of no wider or enduring significance were all it took. A standalone non-chain local restaurant has to be significantly more notable than the norm in some genuinely substantive way to qualify for a Wikipedia article, because there are millions of such things in the world and they can't all be deemed notable just for existing. If this were Winnipeglocalpedia, I'd say keep. But it's not. If it were sourceable that there was anything distinctive or unique about it compared to other German-cuisine restaurants, I'd say keep. But there's no evidence of that being shown here at all. If it were sourceable as having something approaching national renown, I'd say keep. But nothing here demonstrates or sources that. Bearcat (talk) 00:14, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, we do cover quite a lot of subjects here. But we do not have to delete another article to make room for this one, or anything like that, so I'm not sure what you're so exercised about.

As to the rest, the Winnipeg Free Press is a regional, not a local paper, and as I said for a region larger than the Spain or Ukraine.

According to its article -- I recommend a read! -- it is distributed throughout Manitoba and is seen by ten percent of the population. The percentage of the adult population that reads the paper must be a good deal higher. This is actually quite remarkable. It's widely read throughout this large region!

Contrast Portage la Prairie. Although it's the fourth largest city in Manitoba, it's much smaller than Winnipeg. It has two weekly papers, Daily Graphic and the Herald Leader Press. Those are local papers as meant by WP:AUD.

The Winnipeg Free Press is a regional paper.

Can you see the difference?

If you want to lump the Winnipeg Free Press (and the LA Times and Boston Globe and all other large metropolitan dailies) in with the weekly Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic and local supermarket circulars and similar papers of that type and say "Well, all these are merely local papers. There's really no difference between any of them"... that's just silly. Of course they're different, very different.

Anyway, the reason it matters is that WP:AUD (which is not long) says "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability.

See that? "regional media"! Not just an "indication of notability" but a "strong indication of notability"!

Anyway... I still can't see the article being deleted unless the closer wants to state "The Winnipeg Free Press is not regional media" and since that's not true I don't consider that likely. Herostratus (talk) 01:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one misinterpreting WP:AUD here, not me — AUD does not give some newspapers a pass as automatically more regional, automatically more able to magically GNG a purely local-interest hometown topic, than others are. The size of the geographic area that the newspaper is distributed in is not relevant to AUD at all — what matters to AUD is the geographic distance that the coverage source has from the topic.

Sure, there are absolutely contexts where Boston Globe or LA Times or Winnipeg Free Press coverage counts for more than the Portage la Prairie Herald Leader Press does — but getting a local non-chain restaurant of no enduring or encyclopedic significance over GNG just because local coverage exists is not one of those contexts. A restaurant in Winnipeg does not pass AUD just because the Winnipeg Free Press also has readership in Brandon and Thompson; it passes AUD only when newspapers in Saskatoon or Regina or Calgary or Vancouver or Toronto are starting to show that it's getting noted outside of Winnipeg. A restaurant in Boston does not pass AUD on the basis of Boston Globe coverage alone; it passes AUD when newspapers in New York City or Washington or Chicago are starting to show that it's getting famous beyond Boston. A chip stand in Williamsburg does not pass AUD just because it got one restaurant review in The New York Times, but if it starts getting coverage in the Boston Globe then that counts toward AUD.

"Local interest" does not automatically correspond to "suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia". If a topic cannot claim objective passage of a subject-specific notability criterion, but instead its notability relies on "GNG because media coverage exists", then at least some of the coverage does have to be coming from non-local papers. It doesn't matter whether the local paper's distribution area is the size of Ukraine, Spain, Portage la Prairie or the moon — if there isn't also some non-local coverage of the restaurant coming from papers not published in Winnipeg, then the restaurant has still failed AUD regardless of any claim you can make about how widely read the Winnipeg Free Press is or isn't beyond Winnipeg. Bearcat (talk) 07:57, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are defining "local" arbitrarily and idiosyncratically. You define Manitoba (again: bigger than Spain, as populous as Estonia) as a mere locality. Obviously by this standard we should cut our back our articles on Estonian history, geography, and culture by 90%. Why not "western Canada" as just a locality then. Why not "Canada" as just a locality. Should we have an article on William Henry Harrison? He's really only of local interest in one country out of 200+.

You're defining "local" arbitrarily to suit your particular desire to delete this article. Obviously you are not going to get lots of in-depth material on restaurants in Winnipeg in the Singapore papers and vice versa. That is the nature of restaurants. Unlike books, movies, people, and many other things, they are not portable. Therefore unlike books, movies, people, and many other things they are not easily accessible to people far distant from where they are located. Therefore it is not a good business model for the Singapore papers to write in great depth about many restaurants in Winnipeg (and vice versa).

So this is different from books written in Manitoba or record albums made in Manitoba. People in Singapore can obtain and use those! So the Singapore papers are more likely to write about them.

But so?

The culture of a great city and region has many aspects besides those which attract international notice. Sports teams, libraries, parks, schools, buildings, companies, and yes restaurants are part of this. If you wish to engage fully in helping the reader form a sense for the culture of a great city and region than you need to describe these things.

Category:Parks in Winnipeg has ten members. A quick reveals that all of these are either much less well referenced than Gasthaus Gutenberger, or also ref'd to so-called "local" sources, or both.

Do you want to empty out Category:Parks in Winnipeg? It's a simple yes or no question.

Assuming "yes", which I have to assume, shall we also delete all or most of our articles on schools and teams and so forth in Winnipeg -- and all other cities? Do you think we should have not 5,000,000 articles but maybe just 2,000,000? Or you do you have a particular and personal aversion to restaurants in particular? Maybe you had a bad experience in a restaurant or something, and if so I'm sorry, but what really does that have to with building an encyclopedia, which is what we are supposed to be trying to do here? Herostratus (talk) 16:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And once again, you spectacularly miss my entire point. No, I am not "defining" all of Manitoba as a "locality" — the newspaper is published in Winnipeg, and the rest of Manitoba is a secondary distribution area. And the fact that restaurants aren't likely to garner a lot of coverage outside of their own local media is precisely the point: virtually every restaurant that has ever existed at all, anywhere on earth, could be sourced to some greater or lesser amount of local coverage, thus meaning that any restaurant in existence could always pass GNG if local coverage alone were enough. But for the same reasons that we don't automatically deem every police department or fire department or public library branch in existence to automatically qualify for its own standalone article, every restaurant in existence can't be automatically notable either — for a restaurant to warrant a Wikipedia article, it needs to be significantly more notable than the norm, for some substantive reason that does make it a topic of "much wider than just Winnipeg alone" interest. No restaurant on the planet would ever fail GNG if purely local coverage in the local media were enough to make it permanently notable — but Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, not a local one, so things which are of primarily local interest, in classes of topic that are standard and routine features of every locality in existence rather than being distinctive in any substantive way, do require evidence of being more notable than the norm by virtue of gaining coverage beyond the local media.

Please also familiarize yourself with WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Parks and restaurants are not necessarily equivalent topics that are subject to the same inclusion criteria — for example, parks can and often do have unique aspects to them, while that's at best rarely true of restaurants, and some of those park articles may very well be deletable as well if they're sourced as poorly as you claim and can't be improved. Bearcat (talk) 16:31, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it's not just any average restaurant. It's a notable restaurant. There's a thousand-word article in regional media (here). There's a 500-word article in regional media (here). There are two other articles in regional media which I can't see how long they are (paywall) but look to be several hundred words. This is in addition to several other smaller notices, and long reviews but in less important venues. The article meets WP:GNG and that is why we have GNG, so we know what is "presumed notable" and don't have hash it out on a case-by-case basis.

"Parks and restaurants are not necessarily equivalent topics that are subject to the same inclusion criteria" is news to me. Another person could make the point "just a patch of grass, they all look alike, delete" for parks. "Just another building, delete" and so forth. I got that last one on one of my articles: "Is this really an article about a single address on a street block? This should be flagged for deletion..." for 2 Rossi Street. For that guy it was buildings, for you it's restaurants, for another guy it's parks or sports teams: "I don't care to read about such things so no one else should be able to". Can you all take a bigger view please?

By your criteria, there is quite possibly not one single restaurant in Winnipeg on which we would have an article. By your criteria there are probably only a few hundred restaurants in the entire world on which we would have articles (most of those in very large cities, which of course would introduce that bias into our selection).

I get that you think "It's a restaurant. It's a large room where people perform a bodily function. They are all the same". You're not an epicure. But... food is important! There are shows about food. There are books about food -- lots of them! There are chef schools. It's a whole subculture! People talk about food -- they do! "Where shall we go for dinner" is asked a lot more than "do you prefer the Poetic Eddas or the Prose Eddas?". Most people consider the former question more pressing and are more likely to have an opinion on it. Sad (possibly) but true.

It might be that that people ought to eat at home more. It might be that people ought to spend their money and time on musical theater or science lectures rather than eating out. But its just a fact that people eat at restaurants a lot. They do! They care a lot about the difference between German and Thai and even among different German or Thai restaurants. Our job is to describe reality as it is found not as we think it should be.

Restaurants are important part of the culture of a great city, just as musical theater and science lectures are. I'm sure a lot of people would prefer we don't cover other low-brow popular-culture stuff comic books and rap music and ball teams. What can I say? We do. It's part of our mission.

Another person might say "OMG not another article about a pop album. They are all the same, just noise, so regardless of how much notice it got: delete". "Another article about a play? In other words some geeks yakking on a stage, same as every play. Delete". "Another so-called 'famous' general? All generals are interchangeable: they boss soldiers around. So? Delete." And so on.

Well we all don't like the same things. That's what makes a great encyclopedia. Herostratus (talk) 20:19, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not fundamentally opposed to the concept of restaurants as a phenomenon, but that sure is a cute strawman. But every restaurant that exists at all cannot be inherently notable just because it and some local media coverage of it exist. What makes a restaurant notable enough to have an encyclopedia article is not "people in the city the restaurant was located in might care", or "the local newspaper covered it" — all local newspapers always cover local restaurants, so the existence of local coverage does not demonstrate that a restaurant is special somehow. We're not Restaurantpedia or foundlocally.com, and we can't confer an automatic notability pass on every restaurant that exists — there probably are only a few hundred restaurants in the world that actually warrant encyclopedia articles, whether you or I like that fact or not, because "restaurants whose existence is actually noteworthy for some genuinely encyclopedic reason" is a vastly smaller set than "all restaurants that exist". Bearcat (talk) 23:09, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well sure, most restaurants don't merit articles. We agree that "restaurants whose existence is actually noteworthy for some genuinely encyclopedic reason" is a vastly smaller set than "all restaurants that exist". Most restaurants are either franchises (where there isn't enough variation to write about each one) or just grills or fast-food places or holes-in-the-wall (again, not enough culinary distinction) And these restaurants aren't usually going to have multiple major in-depth articles. Many other more gastronomically accomplished restaurants simply don't meet WP:GNG.

But a restaurant where there's a master chef preparing unique dishes from scratch including butchering his own cattle and what have you... that's a different matter provided there's enough unique about the place (only German restaurant in town!) or its long-lived enough, or whatever it has such that enough notice is attracted to pass the WP:GNG.

OK... you continue to use the phrase "local paper" and I guess you always will and you are simply unable to differentiate between a paper with a circulation of 140,000 (on Saturdays) and The Quoddy Tides with a circulation of 5,000 (every two weeks) and I suppose also the Los Angeles Times (Sunday circulation 950,000) -- they are just "local papers" to you, and WP:AUD is designed to nix them all re establishing notability of coverage of restaurants in Winnipeg or Los Angeles or Washington County, Maine (home of the Quoddy Tides).

Anyway... you think there are only a few hundred restaurants in the world that should have articles. Maybe there are only a few hundred poets in history that should have articles. Few hundred kings, few hundred actors, few hundred athletes, few hundred politicians. We can fit the whole deal in a couple dozen volumes and go head-to-head with Britannica. We'll need to tighten up WP:GNG quite a bit.

BTW the article could be expanded quite a bit. In the same way an article about a pianist might describe her technique, or about an athlete his statistics, or about a playwright his go-to character types and plots and so forth -- so could this article describe the cusine in more detail. We have the refs for it. I haven't done it because there's a paywall. I'll just leave you with the thought that there is such a thing as Culinary art. It's shot all through human history and culture. It's important and subtle. There's more to encyclopedic exposition of food and food-related entities than bangers and mash. Herostratus (talk) 02:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yet again: an individual paper's overall circulation numbers, or the geographic range of its distribution, are irrelevant to whether the coverage passes WP:AUD for the purposes of getting a topic that's subject to AUD restrictions over WP:GNG. What matters is the paper's location vis-à-vis the location of the topic, and nothing else. If a newspaper not published in Winnipeg is conferring coverage on a restaurant in Winnipeg, or if the Winnipeg Free Press is conferring coverage on a restaurant in Calgary or Saskatoon or Boston, then that counts toward AUD — but a newspaper published in Winnipeg covering a restaurant in Winnipeg does not satisfy AUD just because that newspaper is also distributed to Brandon and Portage la Prairie and Thompson.

If local coverage were all it took to satisfy AUD, we would have to keep an article about every individual parent teacher association, every local taxpayer activism committee, every church bake sale committee, every neighbourhood watch committee, every independent furniture store, every fire department, every police department, every social planning council, every local retail or service business that ever existed at all. But that's not sustainable, or encyclopedic — which is exactly why CORPs and ORGs are subject to the special burden of having to meet AUD over and above claiming GNG just because local sourcing exists.

And again with the illogical and invalid comparisons? Poets and musicians, for example, are also not topics where every one that exists at all automatically gets a Wikipedia article just because they got covered about in the local paper for local-interest distinctions like winning a high-school poetry contest — but they are topics where there are objective notability standards to determine when a poet or a musician crosses the line into notability. A poet, for example, can win or be nominated for a notable national literary award, or a musician can win or be nominated for a Grammy or a Juno — and as national-level awards that do generate nationalized media coverage, those are distinctions that do make a poet or a musician eligible for a Wikipedia article.

By comparison, "only German restaurant in its own city" is not in and of itself a reason why a restaurant gets an encyclopedia article — if it were the first or only German restaurant in all of Canada, then that might potentially count toward making it more notable than the norm, but we can't feasibly keep an article about everything that could ever claim to be the first or only exemplar of its class in one particular city. If it were owned and operated by a chef who was independently notable enough to have his or her own standalone BLP, then that would count as a valid notability claim. If it were recognized or famous enough that sources outside of Winnipeg were writing and publishing content about it, then that would count as a valid notability claim. But purely local sourcing which fails to demonstrate that the topic is of any wider interest beyond Winnipeg for any substantive reason is not enough to make a restaurant wikinotable by itself.

Delete I think the part that shows the character of this article is the "bibliography of published aphorisms." For those unaware, an aphorism is a short, terse saying. I have no way of figuring out if this unweildy list is correct, but "eat eggs not chicken" is an aphorism, and if I am the first one to say it, and 10 people quote in in their book, and 5 people include it in books that are compilations of aphorisms, it still does not make me notable. If "Eat eggs not chicken" got enough coverage as an aphorism that it merited an article, I am still not convinced that would be grounds to create an article on me.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Despite the roughly 2:1 nose-count in favor of deletion, I found this one difficult to close. There's two different threads going on here, and it's not easy to tease them apart.

One thread is about whether the sources are good enough. There seems to be broad agreement that the first two sources are the best, and probably the only ones worth considering, so this thread really boils down to whether those two are sufficient. SmokeyJoe says they are. Hobit agrees, but with less enthusiasm.

The other is about whether this is overly promotional. DGG argues strongly that it is, and has a large chorus of followers in that opinion.

Where things get complicated is figuring out if the promotional aspects are inherent to the topic, or if they could be solved by editing (possibly WP:TNT, although nobody explicitly mentioned that). DGG writes, If a reliable editor wants to then rewrite it, it might possibly be notable. To which SmokeyJoe (correctly, in my opinion), points out that Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. But, he also says, I agree with DGG on the sources, they are not impressive with respect to significant coverage of the topic. I'm reading that statement as essentially being in the same camp as Hobit, which is to say that he feels the sources are adequate, but just barely.

I'm giving essentially zero weight to the first AfD. Partly because, as we all like to quote at each other, consensus can change. But also because the first AfD wasn't very well attended, and those people who did show up, didn't do a very good job of analyzing specific sources.

On balance, I think the delete camp has made a better argument than the keep camp.

Note: My previous involvement with this was closing a deletion review, six months ago. I had completely forgotten about that until I just perused the article history (after writing all of the above commentary). -- RoySmith (talk) 16:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted as non-notable self-congratulatory organization. Recreated article looks different, but still lacks significant independent coverage. Lots of sources, but they're mainly quotes from members saying that the organization's members are the cream of the crop--hardly independent.

  The article notes:
  
  One common denominator that many grandmasters have is that they are members of an elite organization, that exists in the USA, the World Head of Family Sokeship Council (WHFSC).
  The WHFSC (aka the World Council) is a low profile union of some of the most famous martial arts masters in the world. It is the first American grandmaster's council, and is also one of the largest and most prestigious in existence today. There are no membership fees and application is by invitation or membership sponsorship only. The WHFSC now boasts a membership of over 250 grandmasters from all over the world. The main purpose of the WHFSC is to encourage communication between the different systems and to promote the growth of the martial arts. The Council was founded in 1992 by the internationally known and respected grandmaster of San-Jitsu, Frank E. Sanchez, a Jacksonville, Florida based martial artist orgiginally from Guam.
  Every year, master and grandmaster members meet in Orlando, Florida for the annual WHFSC meeting: the "gathering of the eagles." During this two day event, there is the grandmaster's annual meeting and dozens of training seminars that demonstrate many aspects of the martial arts.
  The publisher/editor in chief of Combat Magazine is Martial Arts Publications Ltd and Paul Clifton according to page 1 of the document, which also lists columnists and contributors.

Keep. I see neutral well-sourced coverage of a respectable and reputable organisation. While I see little direct coverage, I see sufficient coverage of what the council recognises, and that is strong attestation of notability. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:28, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with DGG on the sources, they are not impressive with respect to significant coverage of the topic. However, I am uncomfortable with the line "If a reliable editor wants to then rewrite it, it might possibly be notable". Either the topic is notable, or it is not, and this does not depend on the current state of the article. WP:N states "if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability".

Comment Not voting yet but this is a classic walled garden organization reflected in the references. Many obscure martial artists whose only claim to fame is their membership. Declare yourself a soke and go search for legitimacy. The non-primary pieces directly about the organization are promotional in tone. So my gut says delete but I want to think about if the non-primary sources actually confer notability.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep I'd say the sources are mostly borderline for an ORG. The first two sources Cunard lists are certainly the strongest, the others are mostly passing mentions. But I think those sources are barely above the bar (with the help of the distributed passing mentions...). Hobit (talk) 14:15, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. as advertising, probably under G11 speedy. Notability doesn't really matter in such cases. Promotionalism is an equally good reason for deletion, because it violates WP:NOT. An accumulation of promotional references makes an advertisement, not an article At the time I declined the AfC, it had 3 references: 2 to a self published book, and the 3rd to a publication by a martial arts supply store. There are more now, but they are not any better: most are local stories about someone being admitted to the group, or the group holding an event. Such accounts are not reliable for the notability of the group because they normally include whatever the person written about chooses to say about the group, a group the general news reporter is not likely to have had any other information about--except whatever backgroun they gained from its own website. The inclusion of this battery of worthless sources shows the promotional nature of the article, and is grounds for deletion; if, as here, most of the references are such material, its grounds for deletion under G11, because it would take complete rewriting. If a reliable editor wants to then rewrite it, it might possibly be notable. The usable references are only the first two listed above. The third sounds plausible until you read it: it's a single paragraph. If the 10th anniversary of an organization merits only a single paragraph in a magazine about the sport, the organization is not likely to be notable. DGG ( talk ) 22:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While this was prematurely withdrawn in the earlier discussion because passage of WP:NMUSIC was asserted, this misses the boat for a very important reason: NMUSIC does not confer notability just because its passage is claimed; it confers notability only if and when its passage is reliably sourced. The sourcing here, however, rests almost entirely on primary sources like Discogs.com and bands' own Bandcamps; the only source here that counts for anything toward getting a musician over the reliable sourcing hump is Exclaim!, and even that just namechecks his existence in the process of being about the band, and is not substantive enough to support him having a separate article from the band as a standalone topic (and even the band is actually vulnerable to deletion under the tighter NMUSIC rules that pertain today, so just redirecting him there isn't a solution.)

The result was delete. Ignoring the two WP:SPAs (who, I'm virtually certain are socks), there's unanimous consensus that this doesn't belong in mainspace. Given the obvious SPA/socking/COI that's going on, delete seems the simplist and most appropriate of the various possibilities mentioned. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:22, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move out of article space -> AFC - Article now seems to have inline citations which hopefully establish baseline notability for the article's subject. That said, article needs a lot of work but nothing I see justifies deletion. FelisLeo^Talk! 10:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are however, WP:COI issues. I received an e-mail from the main editor stating he is the "PR guy" of the article's subject and needs to maintain the article. He was basically asking for help, I am not sure if there is a 'good way' for PR guys to contribute to an article, only thing I can think of is Articles for Creation. Think getting other editors involved combined with the addition of inline citations can save the article. FelisLeo^Talk! 08:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article is have inline citations establishing notability. Renjishcs (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Nilavu - Subject does not meet the notability standard; neither wp:gng nor wp:director. AFC cannot establish the notability of subject, therefore doesn't seem to me a viable option. There are about 3 or at most 4 sources, and all of them are about Nilavu movie with almost same contents, in which he managed to secure passing mentions being director of the film. He may meet the Wikipedia's inclusion criteria in future. If and when that happens one is free to turn the redirect into article.

There is nothing to lose, and all sourced information on him are probably already covered in Nilavu article. Anup [Talk] 05:53, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Poorly sourced and advertorially toned article about a band with no strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC. The "sources" here are a press release and two dead links whose content it's impossible to verify, all three on government websites rather than in real reliable source media -- and the article is so slathered in advertorial that it's impossible to suss out anything objective that might constitute an actual notability claim at all. As always, a band is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they exist, but nothing here is enough to earn one. Bearcat (talk) 01:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay checking: My Love Story he's the lead character. Log Horizon he plays a starring character Naotsugu (listed 2nd overall on the list). Sunday Without God he is listed 2nd so that would count as a male lead. Hakkenen he's listed 4th in the main character list. Arcana Famiglia he's in the main ensemble as 7th on the list. Clannad he's a supporting character (heroine character's father). Upotte he's way down on the character list / supporting. Chaika he's a regular supporting as Nikolai. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Of these, maybe Clannad has some notability, but none of these shows have made it onto broadcast television on the English dub side, so they're mainly broadcast dubs (web series) or direct-to-video. Maybe they'll appear on Netflix? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:00, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:GEOFEAT. Clear example of WP:CRYSTAL, as you can see from the image as well. The building claims it will be the largest in SA, however it hasn't even begun construction plus it's only covered in two minor sources which do not attest its notability given they're mere speculation. The price of the penthouse seems to be the main focus of those two references, however it is an "expected" price, so again I invoke WP:CRYSTAL. I also suggest salting per this.

I don't think you're aware of what Wikipedia considers "noteworthy". Our most central guideline is the general notability guideline, which this simply does not pass. Two mentions about a future construction do not constitute extensive coverage. This does not preclude the possibility of having an article about the building once it's built and it's garnered substantial coverage in the future. As it stands now, we're not even certain it even will get built. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 02:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete there's a bit of coverage by the New York Times, but significant coverage is needed, and frankly I'm not seeing it. I can however see some regional level reviews, so this could swing either way. I can't seem to find an explicit notability guideline for plays, so going by GNG and the similar NFILM, reviews by national level media organisations are needed, and as said I can't find any bar the NY Times. jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1. Burliuk, Greg (2008-12-06). "Perfect Wedding: Bride and gloom". Kingston Whig-Standard. Archived from the original on 2016-09-09. Retrieved 2016-09-09.
  The article notes:
  So, you wake up on the morning of your wedding and can't fig-u re out how that pretty stranger ended up lying beside you. You know things can only go downhill from there, right?
  Is there a way for a play built on that premise to be funny? Well, yes, but only under special circumstances, few of which are present in Domino Theatre's production of Perfect Wedding.
  The play was written by British playwright and actor Robin Hawdon in 1994, and it appears to be an attempt to update the British bedroom farce. I say appears because a typical bedroom farce has lots of slammed doors and people dashing from room to room.
  Perfect Weddingdoesn't have these staples. Maybe the playwright thought all that stuff was too obvious. Mind you, he borrows the bedroom farce tool of mistaken identities in a bid to enhance laughter. Too bad he also didn't borrow the slew of one-liners and double-entendres that are the bedroom farce's stock in trade.

The result was Merge to Glossary of video game terms. The term not deserving its own article was fairly WP:SNOW, and a merge to the glossary was brought up. It's seemingly standard for terms like this to be simply merged to that list. There was a single source to be found to credibly define the term.

There are a number of problems with this entry. The single reference has a passing mention to the subject about presumably (the entry is vague) a Commonwealth Games gold medal which I would consider notable. However, the medal listing in 1982 Commonwealth Games lists others and although people sometimes are known but other names I can find no evidence that is the case or another that lists him as a medal winner to confirm. In addition there is a claim of 4th place in the 1980 World Championship which did not occur. What remains does not confer notability and I must say since they are also unsupported that everything is suspect.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:19, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I checked each and every Indian Commonwealth Games medallist till date – results are available under the 'EVENT' label of the United World Wrestling's database. But I still couldn't find his name. Even searching different combination of his name at the database didn't fetch anything. So, it seems a hoax. BTW, only similar name that I could find was Ramniwas Yadav, who finished fourth in the 1994 World Cadet Championships. - NitinMlk (talk) 12:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't know if it's a hoax, but his notability is suspect. I don't know what "1980 world championship" he finished 4th in, but it wasn't FILA since they don't hold world championships during Olympic years. There doesn't appear to have any supporting evidence to show he meets WP:NSPORTS and there's a lack of coverage that supports a claim of him meeting WP:GNG.

Notable means being worthy of attention or notice; remarkable. Reading this article, this does not appear to be satisfied Tylr00 (talk) 14:29, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]
Under this logic, a real place is pretty vague, as a street corner and a bus stop are real places. As far as being in the press, it appears in this article that the only noteworthy press refers to the office buildings in which the local people work. I don't know that every census-designated place is noteworthy, either. Tylr00 (talk) 14:37, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]

Keep The matter concerns Greater Bangalore. BBMP is the city government. The BBMP managed area is divided into ten zones, which have their own administrative bodies as well ("joint commissioner" being the mini-mayor of the zone). Ours is one of the zones. There already existed an article for each of the zones except for one. There is also plenty of coverage of all of the zones. Mr. Magoo (talk) 14:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This article has existed for 10 years, and nothing notable has been added to it in this time. Tylr00 (talk) 15:30, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]
  - It's a populated, legally recognized place as per WP:GEOLAND. This category out of all has the most minimal of requirements to be fit as an article, and our article exceeds that little limit by far. I've seen tiny villages inhabited by 30 people and only verified by fringe travel blogs and long-forgotten, dusty thousands-listing government registeries be preserved at AfD. Mr. Magoo (talk) 15:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - According to the link you provided, places defined for the purpose of taking a census are not notable. It goes on to say that notable places are not defined by population, but by the richness of their history. Tylr00 (talk) 17:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]

Further reason to delete. According to Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Tylr00 (talk) 17:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]

You already nominated which is counted as a delete vote, so I instruct you to strikethrough or remove your boldened vote... And this zone isn't for "taking a census". This is a smaller administrative ward with its own administrators. On top of that it's also a specific suburb known to the people as shown by the articles. The general notability guideline is the general notability guideline like it says. In practice things can be different when it comes to locations. Even on top of that we've already covered the general notability guideline with the articles... Mr. Magoo (talk) 17:32, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed my the boldened delete from my comment as etiquette to the discussion, but remember that the votes are not counted quantitatively, but qualitatively. This article was created in 2006 and still does not convey anything notable about the subject, and as such has not established notability Tylr00 (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]

That's what I would tell you after you inserted the second vote. And there again are the articles which can be used to expand the article, like with the many mentions of the lakes nearby. Mr. Magoo (talk) 17:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps there is opportunity for information on the region on a boarder page, such as the BBMP or similar Tylr00 (talk) 18:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Tylr00[reply]

Delete for lack of notability per GNG and NF. The only coverage worth mentioning appears to be the Hip in Pakistan piece, which, even if reliable and independent, is not nearly enough. None of the NFO criteria appear to apply either. Rebb ing 15:58, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, needs independent sources but has none, same as last time. - MrOllie (talk) 16:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no secondary sources. The "accolades" section could save it, but seems very dubious, claiming to have won awards at many small film festivals in 2016 but cautioning that "film festivals take time to announce their results, the film has been attributed the following titles so far" and offering no sources for this. Checking the awards websites so far as is possible, the 2016 Prescott Film Festival doesn't appear to mention Balloons anywhere (nor as Gubbaare), and the Holly Shorts Festival neither mentions the film nor has an "audience choice" category. The UFO Kurz Film Festival (which the article claims Balloons won "best film" at) hasn't even closed submissions for 2016 yet. --McGeddon (talk) 16:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I had taken the same approach as McGeddon above; DC Shorts Film Festival, in which this purportedly won best storytelling, does not mention this film. Similarly, the LASA Film Festival, in which this purportedly won best film (audience choice), does not mention this film. Wish thinking at best, hoax at worst - either way, the claims are nonsense and the entire article suspect. Эlcobbola _talk 16:48, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and cut the awards section entirely per further discussion at Talk:Balloons_(2016)#Dubious awards, as it seems to have no basis in reality and nobody has been able to confirm a single award as having been given. --McGeddon (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Impeachment proposal against Michel Temer[edit]

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

So far, nothing has actually happened, and there's no telling if something will really happen with this. It is routinary for huge numbers of bill proposals to get lost in the internal bureaucracy of a national Congress and never get it to an actual vote of the legislators, much less get sanctioned as laws. Do not confuse with the Impeachment of Dilma Rousseff that made Temer the current president of Brazil, which is a completely different thing (as it happened, and was approved). Cambalachero (talk) 15:00, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.

Factual: the outcome of an impeachment proposal is irrelevant; the proposal(s) exists.
Notable: Temer is the President of Brazil, not interim president. Past, present, or future impeachment proposals/investigations are of interest to WP, perhaps more so now.
Sourced: the article is decently sourced. O Globo and the BBC are reliable news sources. Prburley (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.

I, respecfully, propose that the Portuguese version should be deleted first. Since you, Cambalachero , speak Portuguese, why not go direct to the source and try to propose the delectation there. If accepted there, where Mr. Temer is known, and the editors are familiar with the process, your argument here will be taken as a serious proposal. Dr. Loo^{Talk to me} 16:00, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Existence. The mere existence of a bill proposal does not mean that it will actually make it to the chambers and be discussed and voted. That's not the way Congresses work. If all the comitee work is done and the Congress of Brazil actually comes to vote for the impeachment of Temer, then it may be noteworthy. Nowadays, it's just a proposal like many others, and there is no guarantee that it will ever see the green light.

Also, I do not speak Portuguese, I can't read their article. Is this article outdated, is the impeachment in a more advanced stage than reported here? If so, please elaborate. Also have in mind Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Wikipedias in other languages. Cambalachero (talk) 16:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Google Translate handles Portuguese surprisingly well. This timeline will help you out, which is also at the bottom of the Portuguese-language article: Linha de tempo do processo de impeachment de Michel Temer (Timeline of Michel Temer impeachment process). Good luck! Prburley (talk) 18:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No COI at allThe only intention behind my attempt to save this page is that I do what I honestly believe is right. I believe this page qualifies wikipedia's notability criteria and should not be deleted. The only conflict of interest I have with this is that this was my first attempt at creating a wikipedia page. I am glad that someone else has succeeded in creating this page. Now that I see some people trying to get the page deleted aggressively on baseless grounds, I had to react. I also think that conflict of interest goes both ways, If you say I am trying to save this page with a COI, you are trying to get this deleted with a COI.

Dear Lemongirl942, I appreciate your honest concern, and I also understand that we are all here to make Wikipedia an authentic destination to learn. I am a marketer by profession; however I truly follow the ethics when it comes to situations' as this one, and I would like to say that I have no COI for editing this page. I am also associated with Encyclopedia Britannica, which was the Google and Wikipedia from last 200 years, now they are digitising their content to get into business. I have benefited a lot from Wikipedia as any other visitor' who stumbles-upon the platform while researching for a query, mostly from Google, 65% to be closely precise. Despite being a frequent visitor, I did not contribute ever until I got interested in the concept of Crowd Sourcing, and realised my responsibility towards the community, I also want to be a part of WikiPublishing, as crowd-sourcing a book always fascinated me. So, I decided only 3 days back to start with a page called "Kharghar" as it is my favorite place and I happen to know a lot about it. Still, I added only 2 lines to start with. If you have more concern or doubt, please leave a comment. You are always invited.

Delete and salt - quite apart from the aggressive attitude of the COI editors toward the nominator, I've just done a reference check - this is a blatantly promotional article, with most sources being bad. Promotional blogs, sponsored content sites, press releases ... I'm actually surprised there are a few sources that pass WP:RS. If this is kept, it needs to be cut down to strictly what's in RSes, and will be about a paragraph. However, given the aggressively promotional attitude of the COI editors, I'd advise it be salted as well if deleted, to forestall another round of this. That's the only reason I haven't just stuck a G11 tag on it - David Gerard (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Baseless and shallow claim about COI **David Gerard Instead of blatantly referring to me as a COI editor, why don't you do some research and provide solid proof about this COI you are talking about? that apart, Can you pick one line from the article where it sounds promotional? Again, the references include many authority sites like techcrunch, did you pay them to be so sure about these being promotional references? Most of these references don't even mention the topic exclusively. I request you to please do a proper research instead of blaming someone who wants to improve wikipedia for the collective good as a COI editor.

Look at the article - everything I didn't tag is plausibly an RS. So that'll be [7] and a passing mention in [8]. As I noted, if we cut it down to things noted in those that aren't direct quotes from the company, it'll be about a paragraph - David Gerard (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This company is indeed popular and notable Hi Everyone, I can assure that this is a notable company in its field. I am a data scientist by passion and this company happens to be the leader in acquiring product data for enterprises. I am very sure about this since this is a field I have been interested in since the last 3 years. That's also the reason why I picked this as my first topic to create on wikipedia. I swear that I still don't understand how this article is promotional, I see only neutral explanation of the topic with some great references to back it. I request you to not act by your instincts and do a proper research before making these claims. I also don't understand why some users here seem to be bullying new editors on wikipedia by simply nominating whatever they edit for deletion. For example, I edited Nokia's page by adding a few lines about their return to the smartphones market and someone was quick to find and delete my lines from the page although it was totally relevant.

K.e.coffman Which of the lines sounded advertising like to you? I am intrigued. And your two lines of comment without any substantial content seems like you're just ignoring your responsibilities and trying to pass your assumptions as judgement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobkoshy333 (talk • contribs) 03:57, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to state that, the aggressive nature was showed by some of the moderators (several times, please check the talk page and you can see one moderator asking a contributor about creating an account for this purpose) & not me (a COI editor according to everyone). If we are talking about notabality of article then you guys can judge it all day but please care to explain the promotional content of the article. I seriously couldn't find any. However, I would like to believe that you guys are expert and know better than me, who has recently joined, you guys should be mature enough to handle such situations like a professional and not aggressively. Also, please stop calling me COI. This makes me quit Wikipedia immediately.

Comment -- the article comes across as promotional. For example, it includes a list of non-notable awards, under "Awards and achievements":

This content is cited to primary sources and serves to promote the company; it does not add value to Wikipedia, per WP:PROMO. If Wikipedia is used for promotional purposes, it loses its value. I hope this clarifies. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Couldn't find any promotional content at allAs David Gerard has said above, there could be more worthy references apart from them. It makes sense to remove the content that isn't backed by credible sources and keep what's left. It certainly is not a good option to delete the entire page just because there are a few not so great references. I would also like to bring your attention to the fact that someone has even tagged wikipedia's own references as not credible, so I stress on being logical here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobkoshy333 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- The page should stay It does have high authority references that couldn't have been a marketing exercise. This does imply that the topic is actually worth having on wiki. Someone has to find more sources that the creator might have missed. It is a lazy work to evaluate the topic only based on the provided sources.

Delete: The 2009 AfD closed with anticipation of a merger of this article and another into the main STV News article, and this was indeed done in August 2011. However, that section on the "Online Video Blogs" was deleted in March 2012, probably not unreasonably to curtail undue focus on defunct features. Having been merged once and then removed, it would be strange to merge again.

I am sorry, but what you have added is not really relevant - the 4 or so sources are not about that company, they are about its parent holding company, Talarius, and mention Quicksilver in passing only (ex. "Talarius operates... The company’s best-known brands are Quicksilver, Silvers and Winners"). Not a single of the new refs is about Quicksilver. That totally fails in-depth requirement, and I hope you and the closing administrator will consider the policy which specifically states that trivial mentions in passing do not esabilish notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:51, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talarius and Quicksilver are synonymous in my view even if, technically, they are legally separate. Personally, I have no objection to the article being moved from Quicksilver to Talarius but the best way of covering the subject will probably always be to discuss both in the same article. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:35, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to renaming the article, but it would require a proper rewrite. I have not looked into whether Talarus is notable enough for NCORP, but on the surface it appears at the very least more notable (there is more coverage of it) than of its Quicksilver holding. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:00, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

University faculties are rarely notable, as they do not generate coverage sufficient for WP:GNG/WP:NORG.

Strong keep: Our criteria for notability of musicians is clear: notable ... if they meet at least one of the following criteria: (2) Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. Well, DJ Abdel had a Top 10 album called Evolution in SNEP the French national chart and also charted in Swiss and Belgian charts. His follow up Double Face 2015 also made it to the Top 30. He has had also no less than 9 charting singles on the French official singles chart. See charting albums and singles here: http://lescharts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=DJ+Abdel also documented in his discography section on Wikipedia. So criteria of having "a single" or "an album" on any country's national music chart is fully satisfied to make this long-standing artist who started in the late 1990s and still strong nowadays notable as per our own criteria. Suggest changing note to "refimprove". No need to delete this article at all. werldwayd (talk) 15:05, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MUSICBIO states that musicians or ensembles, "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria" (italic emphasis mine), but does not carry a presumption of automatic notability for meeting one of the criteria. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But Musicbio is talking about one single or one album at least. But when you have multitude of charting singles and albums over a great stretch of time on official country charts, I think it certainly would carry more weight. It is not that this is a "one-off single" artist but consistently successful and thus notable and not only in France but to some extent in Belgium and Switzerland as well. To further solidify his status was his success as well in a considerable number of film soundtracks. werldwayd (talk) 03:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I removed the claims of it being submitted for the Caldecott and Newbery Medal - the thing about those awards is that it's not hard to submit something for consideration for those, as just about anyone can do that if they have access. It's not the same thing as when you have an award where the only way to be selected is via a committee that specifically looks for nominees. In any case that's a bit moot since only wins give notability on Wikipedia. A search brought up nothing to show that this book passes notability guidelines at all.

The result was no consensus. The strongest argument came from Lemongirl942 who gave a thorough appraisal of the sources in the article; however even they admitted one or two may be suitable, and their critique doesn't seem to be endorsed sufficiently in depth by anyone else. I have to AGF that the claims that Eastern European sources are not so easily accessible to native English speakers are believable. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:48, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of significance. Most references are in foreign language. Article is rough poorly translated. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:31, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your feedback Zackmann08. Please do apologise for my English, yes I am not a native speaker. I am very new here (this is my first article) and trying to be as useful as possible for the WIKIPEDIA community and do appreciate any thoughts on how can I improve, that is why I asked your feedback many times, and only get after the third attempt a very grumpy answer from you (which is not really in compliance with the 'Please do not bite the newcomers' policy). I most definitely will work to correct the mistakes in the article, adding more English references. Please let me express my disagreement with you that the article has been proposed for deletion, I can see that the article is on Wikipedia since more than 8 years, I only have added updates and more relevant information based on what I have collected. In my opinion the article should be in English because it has many references in Czech, Finish, Swedish and Hungarian (beside the English ones), and Milkovics does business internationally. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 08:59, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article contains several indications of significance, and neither cited sources not being in English nor the article being less than perfectly translated are issues that have any bearing on whether this should be deleted, so no part of the nomination statement gives any reason for deletion.

After SwisterTwister's suggestion of the questionable notability of the person (even though it was not the original reason to nominate this article for deletion), I have checked Wikipedia's guideline on the basic criteria Wikipedia:Notability (people) of notability. The article meets the basic criteria: "have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." All the references are independent from the person, published by journalist, and published on reliable sources (in several different countries). None of the the links, references are publish by the person, none of them a blog, or any social media post done by the person in the article. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 09:51, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not rely on wikipedia, but if we are looking/searching for information it does come across and we read it, double check it, cross reference it etc.. I did not know that this is not encouraged by wikipedia or its community. I never thought that this community can be as hostile as I see in this and other discussion pages. You are not encouraging any new editor, but rather crush them, if they make mistakes. This could be an interesting story as well.

Fruitmince (talk) 21:49, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fruitmince, thank you for your feedback. I don't know much of his Hungarian notability, but he was 23 when he left the country as I found out in an interview, I would say (and concerning the fact that 15 years ago the digital footprint couldn't be as as traceable as today) I agree that based on his Hungarian history he would not be notable, but the article I edited not focuses on it at all, his notability was established based on his business track-record, includes 15 references of which each one of them comply with Wikipedia notability requirements. I am working on the Czech article as well, but I feel a little bit discouraged, as this article has been here for so long now with a remark that it is up for deletion, even though I checked all the relevant guidelines and it is in my opinion should not qualify for deltion (as you can see conversations above), I have spent a lot time to improve the article (see its history). Most of the comments are not providing relevant help for improvement as I hoped from this site. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 05:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lets start with first and very big problem. His article, as it is now, looks too much like this: (From here: http://www.horecacee.com/Speakers/ )

"Started his career as radio host and TV reporter; some of his notable works include documentaries about the forgotten children in ::Chernobyl, the war in Kosovo, and the organ trade in India. In 2003 became editor-in-chief responsible for programme development in RTL ::Group.

In 2007 he co-founded IEM Group, which started as a garage media company and gradually evolved to a multi-national enterprise with ::offices in four countries. Pal's main responsibility was new business development and supervision of production processes. Under his ::management, IEM Group has created various successful TV formats such as documentaries, lifestyle shows and children programmes that ::have been broadcast all over Europe. He also served as adviser for media policies on multi-national level to the European Commission.

Together with Sami Garam launched the Nordic Food Channel in 2011 with main focus on Finland.

Founded Nordic Media Entertainment in 2012, which controls Czech lifestyle TV channels TV Mňam and TV Mňau through its broadcasting ::company CE Media."

Fruitmince (talk) 06:00, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fruitmince, please advise what is the big problem with it? This text was taken from Wikipedia by the conference I believe, as this is exactly the text I started editing in few weeks ago (check for the previous versions in the history of the article). Pikipaki2222 (talk) 06:17, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it was here first: http://www.horecacee.com/Speakers/ Fruitmince (talk) 06:39, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid that the opposite is true, the text in question was added to Wikipedia on the 13th of August of 2015, the conference was held on the 26-27th of November in the same year. As well checking the editing history, there was no "copy/paste editing on the page". Beside these facts, I do not recall any Wikipedia guideline of which your raised issue would be a reason to delete the page. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 07:11, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Copyright violations Fruitmince (talk) 07:36, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fruitmince, I have searched the webarchives and found this for your information, this is a snapshot of the conference's website on the 13th of September of 2015, as you can see there is no trace of the text you claim was taken from the site, even Milkovics was not even mention on it, however the text already was on Wikipedia. https://web.archive.org/web/20150913072334/http://www.horecacee.com/Speakers/ so it cannot be a copyright violation, unless you accuse the conference's site to taking the text from Wikipedia without actually add the source. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 08:08, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject seems to be notable only for CE media. Business people often make it into news solely because they are associated with the company, many times their coverage is coatracked to news about the company itself. As notability is not inherited, we require coverage where the focus is on the subject. More importantly, this is a WP:BIO1E and usually article about CEOs are redirected to the company. Additionally, I also have concerns about conflict of interest editing going on. Accordingly I would say delete or redirect to the company article per Common_outcomes#Business_people_and_executives. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:36, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lemongirl942, as I am basically the only contributor of this article I must state: I have nothing to do with the person in the article, never met and never talked to him, your claim is completely unfounded and I will remove the tag from the article and seeking help from admins to prevent you to add it again. For your attention I would like add here references from different countries (all in the article of which probably you failed to read), before even CE Media was established, as well I do add references of which covers the person, not just his business. The references are from 11 different reliable sources (in compliance with Wikipedia guidlines), from 4 different countries (Czech, Belgium, Sweden, Finland).

- There is continues significant coverage of the person WP:CONTIN

- This person has been involved in multiple notable events WP:MULT. Here is what they are: Founding Nordic Food Channel in Finland in 2012, founding Mnam TV in 2014, founding Mnau TV in 2015, founding Z24 TV in 2016

Doesn't own Michelin-start restaurant (couldn't find guideline, so I used notability of Gordon Ramsay)
His documentaries haven't had exposure to 'greater public'(win of/nomination/screening in European Film Awards/Cannes or similar..)

(Did extra Hungarian Google(https://www.google.hu/) litmus test with "Pál Milkovics + Európai Filmdíj(Hungarian name of "European Film Awards") + [original title of document], all in one search string with Boolean emphasis.

Dear Fruitmince Would you be so kind to tell me why did you exclude the Swedish Public Broadcaster's Radio from the references (http://www.sr.se/)

Can you please explain what is Wikt:reklama? And why you excluded those sites, for example Marketing and Media is the most trustworthy industry news outlet in the country and belongs to Economia a.s. which is belongs to one of the biggest media company in the Czech Republic.

Would you please explain how is being related to a Holocaust survivor could "someone may use it as excuse to trol"?

Can you tell us how "with good faith" how can you assume the RadioTv is not a reliable source, if you know nothing about?

With all due respect, I don't see clearly your intentions here, you have (read above) tried to advocate to the deletion of the article based on an ill-founded copyright claim, of which I had to prove it, as well you have deleted significant parts from the article of which led Lemongirl942 to believe that the I am somehow related to the person and he did nothing else just to fund one company.

Beach Walking[edit]

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

"Beach Walking" seem to be non-notable categories of sport. Almost all references on the web to its "governing body" that I see on Google seem to be spam type links. While there seem to be many references on the web to the concept of walking on the beach or 5Ks that are held on beaches, there doesn't seem to be any notability to the concept as its own category of sport. only (talk) 02:08, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Walking (sport). I did find some articles that seem reputable covering the concept of beach walking or running, but it seems more like a phrase to ambling on the beach in the context of the article, not an official phrase for an official sport. [23]. Perhaps I'm missing some articles and completely and totally wrong, so I will do one more google search. Yvarta (talk) 02:54, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - found nothing, really, a few more references to beach walking as a casual form of recreation, but not a sport [24].

Comment. Tricycle are pieces written by him. The HuffPo piece is good...a few more of that caliber and I will be glad to change positions. The rest of what you listed are web pages: useful as "external links", but not for demonstrating notability. Agricola44 (talk) 14:00, 16 August 2016 (UTC).[reply]

NPO is the major broadcast organisation in Holland. here's an interview with Brad warner in Tricycle. This seems to be a BBC radio braocast on Brad Warner. And here's a Washington Post article which quotes Brad Warner. And here's a CNN transcript in Which Brad Warner offers comments on "the Chinese rituals that accompany this kind of funeral." Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These are all the sorts of things that become pretty sketchy. The WaPo quote, in its entirety, is "To me it sounds like we're just substituting karma for God", which is pretty trivial. Radio broadcasts are ephemeral and we typically don't resort to such things for notability. The Tricycle interview about his book helps a little, although this is a very obscure magazine (circulation <50K). The book itself has pretty low holdings for a general-interest topic (~230), but that could be because it is relatively new. Agricola44 (talk) 17:01, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Brad Warner is an internationally published author, and well-known for his criticisms of Dennis Merzel. That alone yet makes him notable." No it doesn't. He's not even mentioned on Merzel's page, which mentions "a group of 12 teachers", then "44 teachers", then "66 teachers", neither of which is specified with "including Brad Watner". Warner's publishing are in blogs and industry-specific journals. So "doesn't seem" seems pretty good against "A and B make him notable" when A and B don't count. Tenaqzn'f Fbvyrq Gubat (talk) 13:06, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to Wiki-policies, instead of to your personal impressions. The lenght of the Merzel page could be multiplied with criticisms; only the most relevant have been mentioned. Warner has written several books, which are also available outside the USA. How much coverage do you expect outside the Buddhist subculture? If that's your criterium, most articles on Buddhist teachers should be deleted. The "industry-specific journals" are the kind of journals that are relevant here. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:33, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh, yeah. If all their notoriety is within the industry, and they are mentioned only in industry-specific journals, then they're not notable for an encyclopaedia, are they? You could put them on buddhism.wikia.com, or in Who's Who (and Who Has Been Who) Of Buddhism instead. Look at all the golf industry leaders who are prominent within the golfing world and who write books, but aren't in here, because they're not notable.

Keep I added references and categories and expanded the original unreferenced article. I would be sympathetic to merging random characters from a typical TV show to the main article about the show, but the character of Lt Tragg has appeared in numerous Perry Mason novels starting in 1940, then on a daily radio series from 1943-1955, then a highly rated TV series from 1957-1965, a 1967 Perry Mason stageplay, and a revival of the TV series in 1973 and 1974. The Tragg character has received significant coverage in at least two reliable and independent sources, satisfying notability. See page 351 of Quarterly Review: A Journal of University Perspectives, Volume 56, which has a 131 word coverage of Tragg, and Icons of mystery and crime detection, page 562 which has a similarly long paragraph about Tragg. Naturally there are numerous passing references and directory listings in addition. One reference described Tragg as being in the "first team" of recurring characters in the novels. Tragg was described as an intelligent, friendly adversary of Perry Mason, but also called luckless and hapless. In one TV episode Mason pointed to him and told his naive client "The smiling policeman is not your friend." Edison (talk) 18:02, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Alan Pattillo should have an article; he directed and wrote episodes of Thunderbirds, and was also the series' script editor. I would trust those user-generated blogs and genealogy sites, as Alan Pattillo has not complained about them or said that there is false information in them. That being said, we don't know if he has a computer. I'll wait for more opinions for now. Plankton55 (talk) 09:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter whether he's disputed the accuracy of the information in the blogs and genealogy sites or not; as you state, it's impossible for us to know whether he's even seen them or not to evaluate their accuracy or lack thereof. But our rules specifically state that user-generated content sites and WordPress blogs are inherently invalid sourcing, regardless of whether the subject has gone on record as disputing their content or not. And writing episodes of a television program, or being the program's script editor, are not claims of notability that automatically entitle a person to have an article — includability on those grounds is entirely dependent on how much reliable source media coverage you can or cannot provide about them in that role, not on "must have an article because he exists".

Delete. Fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. Working on one TV series isn't enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Actually passes WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. Won an Emmy in 1979 for film editing on All Quiet on the Western Front (1979 film). He worked on almost all of Gerry Anderson's "marionation" television series and appears to have had creative input. He's namechecked at best 19 times by full name in What Made Thunderbirds Go!: The Authorized Biography of Gerry Anderson according to google, although I do not have the book to check. Google does return a quote stating 'I didn't have the confidence to risk too much on Stingray,' he remembers, 'although when Alan Pattillo was directing he encouraged me to try things differently and would stand by me if questioned by others.' I don't know who is talking, but it would appear he had a hand in something. Gerry Anderson's work is culturally recognised, and Patillo had a hand in it. I expect there are sources out there, just not on the internet. Anderson has a huge fan following and there's bound to be interviews with Patillo in the press such a fandom generates. I'll see if I can turn up anything else. Hiding T 09:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He's definitely been interviewed, he's quoted in the Thunderbirds (TV series) article, sourced to Marriott, John (1993).

Comment: is bfi.org.uk a reliable source? If anybody can add to it, then it's not, as that would essentially make it a wiki. Plankton55 (talk) 15:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Plankton55: Could you explain why you think the website of the British Film Institute is a wiki? Hiding T 18:10, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hiding: I never said I thought it was a wiki. I said that if anybody is able to add to it, that would make it a wiki. Can anybody add to it and if not, who can? Plankton55 (talk) 19:13, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Plankton55: It's the website of the British Film Institute. The website is maintained and built by the BFI, maintainers of the world's largest film archive and publishers of the respected Sight & Sound magazine. It's like the British Museum for film. It's maintained and updated by experts in the field. Hiding T 08:07, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Hiding: But are these "experts" people who register and/or edit, or what? Plankton55 (talk) 15:53, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Plankton55: We seem to be going around in circles. Why have you put experts in quotes? What's the underlying question you are asking? Is there a site you wish was a reliable source that isn't and you want to understand why? You strike me as a British user, I assume you have heard of the British Film Institute? I don't think I can carry this conversation much further without some more information on your part that doesn't consist of questions. Hiding T 16:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        @Hiding: Please answer my above question, it will help me decide whether the BFI website is a reliable source. If it was people who could edit the site, or people who signed up and edited the site, then yes, I would have problem with it. If, on the other hand, it was only "officials" that could add and modify content, then I would treat it as reliable. Does this help? Plankton55 (talk) 17:03, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        @Plankton55: Judging reliability of sourcing is an art not a science. Here we're only using it for credits. If you read WP:V you'll see we rely in this instance on the publisher to do the fact checking. The publisher here is the BFI. As I said, it would help me if you could tell me why you are suggesting it is edited by anyone. To me it is like suggesting The Times is edited by anyone, if that helps. Hiding T 22:24, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  Plankton55 admittedly used the wrong word to communicate his concern, but Wikipedia does deprecate user-generated content sites, where anybody can submit anything for publication, as not reliable or notability-conferring sources. Bearcat (talk) 18:40, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hey Bearcat long time no see. I always preferred WP:V and the essay I drafted on sourcing WP:IS but that's pride for you! What I still can't fathom is why anyone is suggesting the BFI website is user generated. Hiding T 22:24, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    
    And to be fair Bearcat, we only generally deprecate user generated content, it's not an absolute given! :) Hiding T 22:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - I was just wondering if it said anywhere on the BFI site if only staff can edit it or if there was anything indicating that people can register and edit it. Plankton55 (talk) 22:32, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Have you checked the site? ;) Hiding T 22:34, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        It discusses being a BFI member, does that mean they can edit the site, or does a person require special privileges to do so? Plankton55 (talk) 22:39, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Does it say anywhere on the site that membership allows you to edit it? ;) Hiding T 22:48, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It says that under "General" in BFI online community guidelines, people can submit contributions. It also talks about usernames. It sounds to me like people can add info without a source... Are those edits patrolled? Plankton55 (talk) 23:32, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- That whole page is about comments on social media and every website includes those terms. Are you going to suggest we stop using newspapers as sources because they have the same terms and conditions and someone can become a member of, for example, The Guardian? I've already explained that the BFI website is a reliable source for what we're using it to source. I'm not sure what more is to be gained from this conversation if you are not willing to take my answer in good faith. Kind regards. Hiding T 08:38, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am taking your answer in good faith. I just would like to know how BFI works in regards to editing pages on that site. If I noticed that a page on BFI had missing information, would I be able to edit the page like an IP can edit WP, would you have to join by means of a long-winded process to edit it, or would you have to become an employee of BFI? Plankton55 (talk) 12:27, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - As I do not work for the BFI, I can't answer your question in full, and I don't understand why you are repeatedly asking the same question. The BFI website is not a wiki, is not created from user generated material and I can see nothing on the site which would make anyone question that or believe an IP can simply change any page. But I still have the impression that you do not have an understanding of how our sourcing policies work on Wikipedia. We are relying on the BFI to have fact checked the information on their site. Please read WP:V, particularly WP:SOURCE, which details that a publisher is one definition of a source. Here we are relying on the BFI as a source, not the person who edited the website. If you are interested in editing the BFI website, I suggest you contact them for more information. I hope that this concludes this conversation suitably. If not, please contact me on my talk page to save making this deletion debate any longer and sidetracking it with a side issue. Hiding T 10:51, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Greenburg[edit]

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

Delete. Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a film and television producer, which makes potentially valid claims of notability but fails to reliably source them; except for one legitimate reference which verifies a fact about his brother rather than being even minimally about him, every single other source present here at all is either primary or user-generated. In addition, the article has been directly edited by both the subject himself and a person directly named in the article as a collaborator of his, constituting conflict of interest editing. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source an article about him properly, but Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform on which anybody's entitled to keep an article that's written and sourced like this. Bearcat (talk) 00:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I need to note that this is related to the AfDs for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Americade (band) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gerard de Marigny. I'd initially thought that this was a walled garden and it isn't that necessarily, but this is all part of a fairly obvious attempt to promote de Marigny and people/things/groups associated with him, one of which is Greenburg.

Alphonso King Jr. II[edit]

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

Delete. This gives me no joy, as I actually know the article subject personally. But while valid claims of notability may be possible here, this article as written is based entirely on unreliable and self-published sources such as blogs, Facebook, IMDb, YouTube and sales profiles on iTunes and Beatport and eMusic -- as well as one (#6) that very maybe might have possibly been a RS, but I can't tell because it's been cybersquatted and just tried to make me fill out a customer survey about skin cream instead of verifying any content about Alphonso King. And the only reliable source coverage I can find on either Google or ProQuest is about him criticizing a white drag queen for doing a number in blackface -- which he was definitely right to do, but it doesn't constitute a notability claim in an encyclopedia. So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find more of the reliable sourcing needed to salvage this than I've been able to, but in this state of sourcing it's not keepable just because he exists.

Comment. No, let's be honest here, what you tried to do was delete content by redirecting without incorporating any of the content into the parent article. That is not acceptable. I have no problem with a redirect, but not without a merge incorporating relevant information in a separate section. Maybe the Florida Capitol Police is not notable enough for its own article (I'm not convinced it isn't, but I won't oppose a merge and redirect), but it is certainly notable enough for its history to be recorded somewhere on Wikipedia.

  The article notes:
  TALLAHASSEE — The Capitol Police, along with seven lobbyists, joined forces in thanking two lawmakers for a law that changed the name of the security force.
  A party for Reps. Darryl Reaves, D-Miami, and Everett Kelly, D-Tavares, was attended by about 100 lawmakers, staffers and a few lobbyists.
  The reception held last week was given to thank the two legislators for a bill they sponsored changing the name of the Division of Safety and Crime Prevention to Capitol Police, Kelly said.
  Kelly's son, Steve, an officer with the Capitol Police, said he collected some of the money for the party, but did not solicit it.
2. Kam, Dara (2011-10-10). "Police, chamber sergeants prepare for policy allowing guns in Florida Capitol". The Palm Beach Post. Archived from the original on 2016-09-11. Retrieved 2016-09-11.
  The article notes:
  The FDLE oversees the Capitol Police. The House and Senate sergeants-at-arms staff man the doors to committee meetings and House and Senate chambers.
  Those wishing to sit in the public galleries for a session of the full House or Senate will have to pass through a metal detector and relinquish their gun if they have one, House Sergeant at Arms Ernie Sumner said. They will be referred to the Capitol Police, who have lock boxes where the weapons can be secured.
  But metal detectors will not be used at committee rooms. Sumner said the Capitol Police will provide him and his Senate counterpart, Don Severance, with a description of anyone legally entering the building with a concealed weapon. Then, if it looks like someone who might be carrying a gun is headed into a committee room, Sumner said his staff will remind them about the law prohibiting weapons in places where lawmakers are meeting.

RS aren't just here to verify basic facts, but also to establish notability--that is why we are here. Government agencies do not have independent notability. My colleague Cunard has established that a few references exist, and for me that's enough to support Merge/redirect here (instead of delete), with the caveat, in case this ever comes up again, that a significant number of sources providing significant discussion will be required to re-establish this as an independent article.

Keep A WP:BEFORE AfD nomination style search shows shows about 6,000 hits in GBooks and over 7,700 hits in GScholar. There is a multiyear conference devoted to the topic, for which the papers are gathered and published in book form by Springer-Verlag, e.g [30]. Among sources found after a brief search include a tutorial at a conference Semantic Technologies: AI Strikes Back and the survey Semantic web technologies in pervasive computing: A survey and research roadmap. Browsing GScholar shows a lot more reliable sources still. This topic seems highly notable per WP:GNG. The article is not well-developed and could use better sourcing, but the potential for improvement is there, per WP:POTENTIAL, and the article has surmountable problems, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A highly notable topic and an improvable article suggest keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 00:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- While "AFD is not cleanup", at present cutting it down to well-cited encyclopedic shape suggests WP:TNT - David Gerard (talk) 16:59, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Mark viking: I'm sure people use this term, but how does this topic differ exactly from Semantic Web (or Knowledge representation and reasoning)? The Semantic Technologies: AI Strikes Back page says that "we introduce the suite of the most popular Semantic Technologies—including RDF(S), OWL, and SPARQL", which are the cornerstones of the Semantic Web. —Ruud 17:30, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Good question. Semantic technology is the general set of algorithms/approaches that use semantic information as part of their processing. The Semantic Web (SW) includes a particular set of semantic algorithms/approaches specialized for representing (semantic) information on the web. Sources like [31] and [32] seem to agree. Examples of semantic technologies that aren't necessarily part of the SW include bioinformatics ontologies like the Human Phenotype Ontology, storage techniques like graph databases and natural language processing work that involves semantic processing. Semantic technologies are a part of Knowledge representation and reasoning, but they are not equivalent--semantics is different, for instance, than reasoning.

If there is a better name for non-SW-specific semantic information processing than "semantic technology", I'm not opposed to renaming or merging with a better article. But the topic is notable. --Mark viking (talk) 19:05, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There are legit claims that notability exists here but even their proponents appear to be uncertain - enough for a "no consensus" but not for keep. Note: The article was moved while the discussion was underway; I've moved the AfD as well as the deletion tag so that the close script doesn't screw up.

non-notable singer-songwriter that doesn't meet wp:nmusic jcc (tea and biscuits) 10:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article is shoddy but I were able to find numerous Spanish-language news focusing on Manu Manzo: [33], [34], [35], [36], [37] and [38] plus some few other minor ones. Since I don't know how notable these websites are, it gets really vague. There also was some English coverage but which mostly just mentioned her among others: [39], [40], [41], [42] and [43].

Weak keep: it might be a bit WP:TOOSOON for this artist, as she has only released one EP so far in her career. Nevertheless, the majority of Spanish-language sources Mr. Magoo has found are reliable and have enough in them to create a decent stub article at least. Plus she was nominated for Best New Artist at this year's Latin Grammy Awards. Richard3120 (talk) 20:20, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Per the WP:GNG claims made by Rlendog - "doesn't meet GNG" is a bare assertion and is not enough to contest evidence to the contrary.

Delete non-notable hockey player.John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - he misses NHOCKEY but he comes close on multiple fronts (he wasn't a 1st round pick, but was a high 2nd rounder; he hasn't played 200 AHL games, but has quickly reached our old standard of 100; he has some awards albeit none that meet NHOCKEY; he played on multiple WJC gold medal teams, which is not an NHOCKEY criterion but is an indication that he is more than a run-of-the-mill player). As a result, I was able to find enough coverage to convince me he meets GNG, e.g., [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50]. Rlendog (talk) 18:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duck (guitar)[edit]

Non-notable individual model of a musical instrument. Not a commercial product; just the specific instrument the artist sometimes plays. All references provided are either dead links to the manufacturer's website, or from the artist's website. This isn't a notable instrument, and the lack of available references bear that out. At best, a few sentences can be moved to the artist's page, but even that is tenuous because of the lack of available third-party, substantial and reliable references.

Delete - Fails GNG, also very CRYSTAL, and there just isn't any indication of notability. Production in entertainment is hard to source, period.

Mekayla Diehl[edit]

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

I think it is now agreed that winners of Miss Indiana USA are not notable for that in and of itself. The article hypes that Diehl is Native American. However since 0.3% of Indiana's population is Native American, it would not be unexpected that no winners of Miss Indiana USA had been Native American until the pageant had existed for over 200 years. Since Miss USA started in 1951 and not 1816, this does not make her notable. I also do not think the gossipy sources about her body size constitute the type of RS sources we would need to justify actually having an article.

"Nia Sanchez, the winner of the 2014 pageant, stated that Diehl is no different than the other athletic pageant contestants she competed against. "I felt like this year we had a really healthy class of girls, and that’s what the pageant is about, not being skinny and having the clothes fall off your bones, but being fit, healthy and active. And Mekayla is," she said. "We were at the gym working out together. She was telling me how she does different sports. We all do." Diehl has ignited a wave of positivity encouraging women to be healthy and not go to extremes of having unhealthy habits to be skinny.[5]"

This is indeed tabloid-like content that's not adding value to the encyclopedia. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:25, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per PBP --- PageantUpdater (talk) 00:42, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- the national coverage is on the same story, being a "normal" size 4: Daily Beast. The event (being on stage as a size 4) is what's being covered, not Miss Diehl. The Daily Beast article uses the incident to reflect on society, such as:

Our society has a major issue with quickly categorizing people when it comes to body image. If a girl is too skinny—she’s called out for being a “bag of bones” or slapped with an eating disorder label. If she’s too fat, she’s considered “unhealthy” or “obese” (or worse, “tractor-sized” or “a hippo,” as Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy was once called). With our obsession for calling out celebrities, fashion models, and the like for being too this or too that, how is it that we’ve now found ourselves becoming enamored with a woman who is in fact thin—just not overly so? I agree—Diehl is gorgeous. And she has a healthy physique not normally seen in pageants that she should be applauded for. But is she “normal”? No. She’s still skinny.

This is still BIO1E and the amount of stories does not matter since they all refer to the same event. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:25, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To paraphrase someone in another AFD - there are so many I can't remember where - how can "one event" cover her winning Miss Indiana USA, a yearlong reign and appearances, competing at Miss USA, and the media that came after it? --- PageantUpdater (talk) 00:35, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All claims of WP:BIO1E against almost all beauty pageant winners are invalid. They win a State or National title, then, separately go on to compete at the next higher level. Equate this to WP:NSPORT where every athlete has to qualify at their preliminary level before going to a major competition. In this case, she won Miss Indiana and then competed in Miss USA. 2 Different events on two completely different dates. For Mekayla, her appearance at the Miss USA event set off a Twitter storm that resulted in coverage by all the major American television networks, interviewed by Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Fox and Friends, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, most of them involving individual on-camera interviews. Trackinfo (talk) 08:59, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- the coverage related to "size 4" are all trivial mentions and lack WP:PERSISTENCE. Wikipedia is not WP:NEWS re: Twitterstorm, but requires a balanced biography, which I do not see here. The sources do not rise to the level of encyclopedia notability. And Miss USA is not Olympics for all contestants to be considered notable for just participating.

Keep for now. Discussion about notability guidelines has already started on the Talk page for the Beauty Pageant project. No harm will be done by closing this nomination as "keep" and letting the project-level discussion take its course. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The above referenced discussion is taking place here: RFC on creation of consensus standard, with some advocating that (1) state-level winners are not presumed notable, (2) state-level winners are not presumed non-notable; and (2) a special guideline is unnecessary, and that GNG should be used. There's an overlap between these three positions. There aren't really voices for "state-level winners are always presumed notable" so I don't think the outcome of the discussion, if any, would have an impact on this AfD. Thus it may not make sense to suspend the AfD process for this nomination. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Both Krishna Kumar and Simplified Solutions are covered at bloomberg.com. Unscintillating (talk) 02:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to closer -Examining these sources above are finding quite a few noticeable articles that are simply the company talking about itself and thus is sourced by the company itself (note the articles contain information about seeking and obtaining funding and investors, somrthing only future clients and investors care about) that's not substantial coverage; what makes ot worse is that is also focuses with PR, something that a company certainly would mention about itself. One of the links (Tech in Asia) is even a specific interview with the CEO talking about the details of his own company. Although this has been relisted twice, this honestly needs a third relist because these Keep votes cannot be given weight given my analysis and the fact they are also simply thinly backing their claims with unconvincing PR-laced sources (sourced they have apparently not considered to actually in fact be PR since it contains exactly that) , thus that's not a convincing. Even though some of these are from known news sources, the information, as noted with my analysis earlier in this comment, cannot be based as a significant source alone if actually simply PR for and by the company itself. Essentially, there's only one source even close to being acceptable, and that's one, the one and only review; which is essentially still not enough, especially if surrounded by an ocean of PR. SwisterTwister talk 02:42, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- per WP:TOOSOON; the company is not yet notable per available sources. Most of the coverage offered at this AfD is trivial or PR-like, such as this passage:

"Simplilearn wants to help employees keep up with the fast-moving, competitive professional world. The online training and certification provider released a mobile application today and announced a partnership with Udemy.

"Simplilearn claims to be the world’s largest certification training provider for working professionals. It offers a mix of classroom and online courses that help people get accreditations and approvals for skill sets they need for their career." Etc.

The most neutral source is PC Magazine, but that's not sufficient to meet SIGCOV and CORPDEPTH. Content is the article is strictly advertorial, such as:

"Simplilearn has trained over 400,000+ professionals across 150+ countries.[2] (cited to the company's website itself)

Rather than waste volunteer editors' time trying to maintain neutrality of this article, I suggest deleting per WP:PROMO and not meeting GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep...absolutely I am surprised that this Afd exists till now. The company has an absolutely unbelievable number of reliable sources discussing the company in-depth. I am sure, as NorthAmerica mentions, that any issues with respect to the tone of content within the article can be addressed by copy-editing. Deleting a badly written article is not acceptable when the subject is covered with so much depth in unquestionable RS. For example, "Simplilearn: How a blog turned into a professional training startup" in Firstpost, "Education start-up Simplilearn plans to expand tie-ups with Indian corporations" in The Hindu, "What-next-for-education-startup-Simplilearn" in Live Mint, "Simplilearn recognized as the 'Best Educational Website' by IAMAI" in The Hindu Business Line, "Simplilearn targets enterprises, aims for $50 million revenues" in The Deccan Herald, "With outcome based skilling programmes, Simplilearn redefines training for Indian IT Industry" in The Economic Times, "Startup central: Simplilearn; the career app" in the Television channel ET Now, confirming Simplilearn being India's largest online skilling firm, "Lessons in entrepreneurship: The success of Simplilearn" in The Business Standard, "Simplilearn LMS" in The PC Mag, "Simplilearn to launch Online Classroom Flexi-Pass" in The Economic Times again. Each coverage is very in-depth and has no "PR" written about it. Clear keep. Lourdes 15:45, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the new sources above are PR or PR like, for example:

Interview with the founder: “We offer courses under 10 different categories and top categories are digital marketing, big data, data science, mobile app development, IT security and project management, and the course fee in India is between Rs 5,000 and Rs 30,000, and in US between $250 and $1000,” said the startup CEO, adding instead of relying on their employers, tech professionals should come forward to learn such professional certification courses to enhance in their career.
Straight up press release: "Simplilearn recognized as the 'Best Educational Website' by IAMAI" (Url contains "Business wire")
Interview with the founder: "Startup central: Simplilearn; the career app"
Etc.

This confirms that the company exists, but it's insufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Wikipedia is not WP:NEWS nor WP:WEBHOST for hosting company materials. All of this -- corporate plans, interviews with the CEO, awards -- can be found on the corporate web site and an encyclopedia article is not required. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you about the Business Wire article.

On what grounds are you saying that these articles are PR or do not qualify on WP:CORPDEPTH. Please do point out the exact statements within these articles in RS that you feel don't qualify on the said guideline. They are all absolutely in-depth and allow the corporation to easily quality on Corp notability. I'll await your response eagerly. Thanks. Lourdes 06:46, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Revert to redirect. Ugh, this is a mess. First, the only keep arguments (one from a WP:SPA, the other from a long-time established editor) are based on, This is new, it should be given time for improvement. That's a reasonable argument for an article that's badly written, but doesn't hold water when there's no sources. If, lack of sources because it's too new, was the only problem, I'd be thinking about moving this to draft space. But, the other problem is that this overwrote a perfectly reasonable redirect. If we were to have an article about the album, it should live at Minor League (album), as suggested.

So, what I'm going to do is just revert this back to the point in history where it was a redirect. If nothing else, that will preserve the edit history, should sources ever appear and we want to bring this back. Somebody else can worry about the technical details at that point of how we fork the history to comply with our licensing and attribution requirements. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of her pageant wins are notable. The coverage is a hodge podge of the Creighton University nesspaper, which especially considering she was a student there is not a good argument for her notability. The other sourcing is from what amount to drum up attendance articles that tend to by their nature inflate the description of visitors, and so just show that the location is good at boosterism, not that anyone is notable. The sources on her journalism career are what one would excpect for a local traffic reporter, which is a news release from her employer, just not enough to establish notability.

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

It has become obvious that people who won state Miss USA titles are not notable for such. We should probably go with the same rules we have for people who failed in most elections that if they won would make them notable. Sources directly related to their competition in the beauty pageant should not be enough to make them notable, we should have to have sources unrelated to it. However even if we were a bit more lenient the sources here are extremely weak. The only ones that come close to reliable are from a radio station that aims to cover the specific part of Nebraska Wright is from. I do not thing this is the level of sourcing needed to pass GNG.

Jeff Coplon[edit]

WP:BLP1E applies. See the discussion here for details. The subject is only "notable" (if it's even true) for one article he wrote in 1988 about Ukraine. Half of the current article is based on this single event (it was even more in the past). This page will inevitably be an attack page or a magnet for POV-pushers in this situation. The controversy can be better discussed in an article, perhaps Historiography of the Cold War which focuses on the dispute, not personalities. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 03:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. WP:BLP1E at best. The article has been treated as a COATRACK since its inception. While it is still unclear as to where any content surrounding the debated article belongs (or even whether it is genuinely DUE or not), there is no value in retaining a BLP for an author not notable unto himself. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:33, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per Iryna Harpy. This article falls short of even WP:BLP1E, in my opinion. I've looked for secondary sources on Coplon's full time activities (sports and memoir ghost-writing) and found nothing. Iryna and Kingsidian also make a persuasive pragmatic case for deletion: removing the launching pad for pov-pushing in this and other articles. Guccisamsclubs (talk) 16:38, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~. Comment. Some time ago, I was looking for any RS about this person, but found only a few of them related to the controversy about his publication in Village Voice (now included on the page). So, yes, he is not very notable. However, after looking at his own publications and publications about him, I would be inclined to "keep". My very best wishes (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concerns, My very best wishes, in that his article "In Search of a Soviet Holocaust: A 55 Year Old Famine Feeds the Right" has been cited by notable historians working in the area of Eastern Europe during the Soviet period, revisionism regarding Stalin's role in events defined as atrocities, and the scope of Russian imperialist intent as evaluated and defined in scholarly works. Nevertheless, I don't believe Coplon to be a key player in academic discourse. As has been pointed out by other editors, the evaluation lies with the arguments of recognised historians, whatever their position is on the complexities of any given event, and belongs in an article relevant to that discourse. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree because his views have been dismissed by reputable historians as nonsense. This does not really add notability. My very best wishes (talk) 22:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All claims of WP:BLP1E against almost all beauty pageant winners are invalid. They win a State or National title, then, separately go on to compete at the next higher level. Equate this to WP:NSPORT where every athlete has to qualify at their preliminary level before going to a major competition. In this case she already has won Miss Malaysia. It is not any more crystal to claim she has qualified for Miss Universe than it would be to claim a Olympic qualifier will compete at the Olympics and would be notable.

Ridge Radio[edit]

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

Delete. Completely unsourced article about an "announcement service" radio station which broadcasts on the internet and via the Canadian equivalent of Part 15 (low-power) broadcasting rules. WP:NMEDIA has been tightened up over the years to preclude stations like this from being presumed notable just because they exist -- if this could be reliably sourced over WP:GNG, then that would be one thing, but it's no longer entitled to an exemption from having to be sourced better than this. I was actually the original creator here, way back when our notability and sourcing rules were absurdly loose and not nearly as well-codified as they are today, but I can't speedy it because there have been other contributors in the intervening 12 years.

Delete; Internet radio stations don't have any presumption of notability, and its low-power broadcast, according to the article, was apparently through the Ultra-Low Power Announcement Service (LPAS) — a type of station that has been exempt from CRTC licensing since 1993. As Canadian radio stations go, that type of station is as much a Part 15 equivalent, if not more, as the types of VF stations that fall under a CRTC exemption. (Note that while this particular station is a community radio station, the main intent of LPAS seems to be the type of "talking signs" station that would definitely be Part 15 in the U.S.) However, I can't find any trace of this station in the REC/Industry Canada database (TuneIn, oddly enough, appears to associate this station with a VF station, VF7130, but that's not in the database either), rendering the over-the-air aspect even more unverifiable (as if the absence of any CRTC decisions weren't enough) outside of any statements on the station's own website, and I'm coming up short in finding reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:29, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per creator. No sources - David Gerard (talk) 00:38, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Move: According to their website, the station continues to broadcast on 90.7 FM. Which means they continue to broadcast over a callsigned station, which brings them in compliance with part of NMEDIA. The station though is no longer the VEK565, but VF7130. The other half of NMEDIA, sources, is easy...well about as easy as the CRTC allows it be. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 08:39 on August 25, 2016 (UTC)

As with all the other VF stations that have been deleted recently, having a call sign does not in and of itself constitute proof that the station has a CRTC license — most VF stations now operate exempt from the requirement to have a license at all. There are rare exceptions where for one reason or another a conventional license is still required, but those are few and far between and require direct verification in each individual case — but CRTC decisions about this, as either VEK565 or VF7130 and under the ownership of either John McKay or Sheridan College, are nonexistent, which means that this is an unlicensed station. The existence of the website doesn't, in and of itself, prove that the station is operating; the "listen live" button goes 404 instead of linking to a stream, the front splash page was last updated in 2005 according to its footnote, the site is still written depicting the station's move to Sheridan College in 2010 as a planned future occurrence rather than a past one, and a lot of the site's internal links still reveal that the webpage is still sitting in John McKay's personal webspace on Cogeco rather than in Sheridan College's website. And the closest thing I can find to a reliable source about it is an article in the college's own campus newspaper (not an independent source, or one that can confer passage of GNG by itself) which indicates that the station's relaunch under Sheridan College's ownership was still a planned future occurrence as of December 2014 — with no coverage more recent than that locatable even in that publication. All of which leaves us at exactly the same situation as all the other VF stations that have been deleted recently: a license-exempt station whose operational status is unverifiable.

Delete. Poorly sourced article about a radio program. As a syndicated program that was distributed on an ad hoc network of stations, this would be eligible for an article per WP:NMEDIA if it were properly sourced, but the only reference here is the program's own self-published (and deadlinked) website about itself -- which is not a source that can confer notability. But no strong media coverage is locatable on either Google News or ProQuest, which means that we can't hang on to an article just because the thing existed.

Polee is only of any interest for being Miss Nevada USA. This is not enough to make her notable, and the biogrpahy is more of a pseduo biography focusing only on one event in her life.

Unscintillating (talk) 20:17, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The way the second nomination is written makes it on first glance make it look like it is a mass nomination.

Delete - Any editor is free to renom an article as they see fit. The 2nd nom was in January 2015, so I'm not seeing the "quick renom" claimed. Additionally, notability can always be reassessed at a later date - that's part of WP:NTEMP. In this case, I think this is BLP1E, and it fails GNG and the specialty guidelines. We have here an article on a person, and yet we have no details on her other than that she won a few beauty pageants, and all her info comes from those pageant sites (an independence issue). The fact that she was a college athlete, or got a degree, is irrelevant personal "filler" info, not WP:N criteria. The NN pageants she won are exactly that - NN pageants, also set by policy, and we generally don't go below the national level. Being an "also-ran" three times also imparts nothing by way of N - precedent and policy also say that being a contestant, no matter the level, does not presume notability - one has to win. In short, the criteria here are no different than for any other similar area. When that material is discounted, there's nothing else that merits an article. MSJapan (talk) 17:36, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lede of WP:N states, "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity..." WP:GNG says nothing about "winning". "Discounting" GNG material because you don't like the content is not policy based. Coverage in reliable sources for being a contestant contributes to WP:GNG notability. WP:Notability is described in the nutshell as attention given to the topic, and all evidence-based forms of such attention are relevant. Unscintillating (talk) 13:21, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- I'm with MS Japan in considering this article to be a WP:PSEUDO biography. I also view it as WP:WEBHOST type of content for Ms Polee's pageant wins. I don't see a balanced biography here, and being a contestant on a reality show does not add to notability. Appearing in the news is not a guarantee of being notable enough for a stand-alone article in an encyclopedia. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:38, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MS Japan did not cite WP:PSEUDO. The nomination used the word "pseduo [sic]", but does not add the Wikilink in using the word. In the essay WP:Avoiding harm, the actual section about WP:PSEUDO is concerned about "invading privacy", and argues that where "little or no other information is available to use in the writing of a...biography, that person should be covered in an article regarding the event". This is not an argument to WP:DEL8, but an argument to merge, or don't split. And in this case, the premise that "little or no other information is available" is inconsistent with evidence from three additional state pageants, the Miss USA pageant covered on Reelz, evidence that this event and Polee obtained AP coverage in Dubai, evidence of a four-year NCAA Division I track career at UNLV, and new evidence regarding eight Reality-TV-show appearances on Fox. None of this is coverage of a "private" individual. At AfD#2, User:Legacypac referenced the essay WP:PSEUDO, but makes the erroneous inference that WP:PSEUDO somehow argues for WP:DEL8.

Redirect to Miss Colorado USA as the subject does not warrant a standalone article.

Lepricavark (talk) 14:42, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While there appears to be no dispute that the quick re-nom argument was one year in error, there is a related point that AfD volunteers have other things to do than review topics where attention-to-the-topic by the world at large has increased since the previous nom, and where the nominator is on record that the topic is not a worthless topic.

You have not provided a sufficient explanation for why the article should be kept and are instead hiding behind the last AfD.

The fact that you insist on hiding behind the previous AfD suggests that you realize that you have a weak case. I also see no validity in your statement that "AFD volunteers have other things to do."

Comment -- Previous AfD discussion (#2) was interesting and I agree with many of the arguments presented, such as this comment:

"Reality is that there are many winners in every state of various pageants run by various for-profit businesses (the biggest owned by Donald Trump) every year. The vast majority of these winners have never made the news before, get a few feel good "local person wins award" stories after the win, and go back to obscurity immediately afterward.

"The WP:ROUTINE stories have a predictable formula... Susie Winner is from Springfield and a student at Northern/Southern/Eastern/Western State University where she is studying nursing/teaching/journalism/basket weaving. She likes kittens and wants to save the world. She was excited to win her 1st/3rd/15th pageant.

Occasionally some winners go on to be notable actresses/news anchors/porn stars etc and then qualify for an article.

"Pageants are just a business, with a local focus. Can you name the current (or any) past Miss Your State or can you remember seeing anything about the current title holder? If not, they probably don't earn an article. I can think of plenty of local business people who don't get articles even though they employ lots of people, get local press coverage regularly, have built impressive businesses/buildings and done actual charity work - a heck of a lot more then 99.9% of these women. Legacypac (talk) 05:53, 7 February 2015 (UTC)"

K.e.coffman (talk) 20:37, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the reference to "WP:ROUTINE", User:ThaddeusB replies at 18:45, 8 February 2015 (UTC) saying, "For about the fifth time, ROUTINE is a section of the event notability guidelines. No matter how many attempts are made to apply event notability guidelines (demanding continuing, non-local coverage) to pageant contestants, there will still be no consensus that they have relevance on the notability of people." He continues,[reply]

I can't tell you anything about 99.9% of all Wikipedia articles - that fact has zero to do with notability. (WP:IDONTKNOWIT).

1E doesn't apply. The guideline is for people that get coverage as part of a news story (I never said anything about it be[ing] negative coverage, for the record), and don't have biographical information about them published. It is not about denying articles to people who accomplished only one thing, but did have biographical information published. If a source is reliable and biographical it is valid. The scope of the source doesn't enter into it. Beauty pageants and other contests are not "events" in the 1E sense. Saying they are is exactly equivalent as saying a previous[ly] unknown author who wins [a] notable prize, or a sports person who wins a big sporting event can't be notable for coverage derived from winning. In other words, it's a distortion of the guideline's intent... [W]hat we have here is biographical coverage spurred by a contest win, not coverage of the contest where the person is mentioned as winning.

The main thrust of the Legacypac comment you've quoted is directed at small beauty pageants, not the large ones such as those (previously) owned by Donald Trump, and is also directed at pageant winners where there was no subsequent national competition such as is the case here. The comment is also directed to winners who "go back to obscurity immediately afterward", which is no where close to relevant in the case here.

Redirect to Miss Colorado USA Firstly, I don't see any reason NOT to nominate stuff for deletion as long as there is a gap of 6 months. This is an encyclopaedia, not a random webhost. Also as consensus changes, notability can change as well. Now coming back to the topic, I don't see anything to suggest that the subject is notable. Essentially the subject competed in multiple beauty pageants, only one of which was national level. Seeing that Miss Colorado USA was the only one which was won by the subject, I advocate a redirect there. The subject doesn't pass GNG. Additionally it should be remembered that GNG is not a free pass to an article: GNG is simply the first hurdle an article needs to pass in order to prevent being deleted. An article can be deleted even if is passes GNG btw. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

101.3 FM Milton, Ontario[edit]

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

Delete. Article about a radio station which has received authorization to launch, but still has not actually begun broadcasting as of today -- even on the parent company's website, this station is still marked as "coming soon" and linked only to a press release announcing the original license approval. However, it is not rare for a station to receive CRTC/FCC approval, but then fail for one reason or another to launch before its permit expires, so Wikipedia has more recently established a consensus that a new radio station is no longer eligible for an article until it actually commences broadcasting. No prejudice against recreation if and when that happens, but "proposed stations" like this are not allowed to have articles in advance of launch anymore.

Delete; unlaunched stations do not enjoy the presumption of notability assumed for established/operating stations, and it's too soon to determine if the station has, or ever will, launch (they have until May 27, 2017 to do so, barring an extension).

Actually... Industry Canada just gave it a call-sign. CJML-FM appears on the Spectrum Data Search when you select "Location" and type "Milton" on page 4 of the results. Looks like it'll be running at 950 watts of power, too. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 21:01, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having a call sign assigned to it doesn't in and of itself get a still-unlaunched radio station over the WP:NMEDIA bar, just for the record — new stations have crossed that hump but then still failed to ever actually launch. If we could reliably source a definitive launch date, then that might help move the needle here, but the mere fact of having its new call sign assigned to it by Industry Canada doesn't change anything by itself.

For the record, I do suggest that if this article is kept that a move to CJML-FM should probably take place per naming conventions (and, if the article deleted but the station launches under that call sign, that should be the article title for the recreation as opposed to the current one). That said, I still stand by my delete !vote barring any other developments, since getting a call sign is generally one of the easier parts of starting a station; I simply wanted to acknowledge that the current article title was likely intended as a placeholder during a period when no call letters were assigned to the station. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:24, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine either way... I just thought that getting call-letters means the station is much closer to launching (though I agree, it's not a guarantee it will begin broadcasting). Usually, Industry Canada and the CRTC tend to not issue call-letters until the station is "almost ready" to begin testing or regular operations.

Marko John Albrecht[edit]

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

Delete. Poorly sourced WP:BLP, with some résumé overtones, of a film producer. The referencing here is split halfway between primary sources that cannot assist notability at all, and media coverage which glancingly namechecks his existence -- the closest any source here comes to being about him in any substantive way is a piece in the real estate section of The New York Times about how his Finnish heritage inspired him to buy a house with a sauna in it. But having a sauna in your house is not a reason why you get an encyclopedia article in and of itself, and nothing that would constitute a claim of notability here is sourced properly. Bearcat (talk) 23:02, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We have sources like a New Jersey newspaper that mentions he showed up to see the Stanley Cup on display somewhere, but in a way that indicates that he is no more notable than anyone else in the crowd. The New York Times article is a broad article on incorporating cultural heritage into housing, and not about him at all. Then we have an article from the community college he attended, praising his accomplishments in filmmaking. At least there we have a substantive discussion of his work, but it comes from a source that is using the whole thing to try to attack students, and thus a clearly biased source.

Withdrawn thanks for adding an additional source. I searched Google News and was unable to find any, but after that one I was able to find others. Looks to meet the guidelines to me now. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:20, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

POV fork of homeless, synthesis, only 4 sources, promo for the Bosa Properties X Prize Foundation. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 00:17, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Homelessness I don't think so. ~ Junior5a (Talk) Cont 00:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Homelessness. After searching for the term, I were only able to find fringe blog posts which differentiate between homelessness and houselessness. I were able to find large numbers of actual coverage which all used it as a synonym for homeless like in this example: [53]. Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:46, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Homelessness. Per reasons above, plus there was only 4 sources on Google, one of which was a dictionary definition, another was a source that's already being used in Homelessness. Much of this content could probably be used in Homelessness, as this article attempts to branch itself off into its own article to give the false impression that the term "houseless" is more notable than actually is, in that the Homelessness article itself already does cover the "houseless" topic somewhat. —Mythdon (talk) 01:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Homelessness. A quick google search on the difference between houselessness and homelessness gives a few sources that make a meaningless differentiation between home as a sort-of sense of belonging and house as the physical building. Moira98 (talk) 17:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Homelessness. Doesn't really need another !vote to that effect, but I came across it and it seems pretty straightforward. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable, stub, unsourced BLP. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unsourced BLP? Should have been WP:BLPPROD. Adam9007 (talk) 00:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I recognized the name and found a VERY large number of articles focusing on her. I think the the subject matter deserves an article but the article needs heavy clean-up. Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- However it might be WP:BLP1E, so not sure. Mr. Magoo (talk) 01:32, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Extreme media attention, but article needs substantial clean up. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 20:49, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Individuals who are not 18 should have to pass very good hurdles because we should be extra vigilant in protecting the privacy of minors. An article that has one sentance that does not even give a reason the subject would be at all notable does not pass that criteria. Not all contestants on America's Got Talent are default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:25, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. Maybe we can revisit this if she wins the competition. Adamtt9 (talk) 13:16, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete TOOSOON. John Pack Lambert raises a very good point, as does Mr. Magoo. We have an essay for reality show contestants (REALITYTV) that points to BLP1E, and she does not meet it. There is nothing else she is known for. All of that is not say she's not talented, because she is--awesomely! However we have guidelines for a reason. One is to protect minors. Even with the admittedly good sources added, it is still BLP1E. John from Idegon (talk) 19:33, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment She could easily continue to get attention for her talent in other forums, and then we would gain the sustained coverage to justify an article. However we cannot assume that the sustained coverage will exist before it actually does.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can I suggest a redirect to America's Got Talent (season 11)? That is about what the article currently contains, and it would provide more context. --Ettrig (talk) 07:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
