I am very sorry that you think only English material or English-language site can be considered valid source. this is racist. it is clear that political weight is new subject in political science. political weight based on mathematical and statistical method and every one know that mathematics do not need anyone confirmation. if you search in google or other search engine can be seen political weight term use in many article but no one of them explain what the mean of political weight. in this article, noted pw index formula for prove right method of it. and so iikss institute is independent NGO in Iran. it is not enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alirasoli (talkcontribs) 07:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid it is not, because the topic has to meet WP:GNG. A scientific theory, or - in this case - an index - has to show some importance. It is not enough that you have published it, it also has to be recognized by others. In case of such a topic, it means your work has to be cited by others. Can you show who else has cited your work? Non-English sources are fine. PS. You can also ask for this article to be userfied, and in a year or two, when you get some citations, you can try to republish it here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:23, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unremarkable Dark Ages nobleman. Article does not indicate how he is supposed to be notable. 1 ref. While he is the son of N and the father of N, i think those two individuals have been more notable then this guy. There is no doubt in my mind he exists, I can find mention of him in genealogical websites, and in 1 Google Scholar/Book listing. At least he isn't under governing of BLP.

  • Keep - Cumulatively there are a number of sources in French and Spanish that meet WP:BASIC. You're quite right, the article doesn't discuss the most important aspect of Amanieu VI's rule, which was the surrender of Milhau and its castellany to Prince Edward. The article needs improving, not deletion. Fiachra10003 (talk) 03:31, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I had proposed deletion a couple weeks ago and haven't had reason to change my mind from that rationale: I'm finding very little by way of independent coverage of this award -- only primary sources/press releases and various awards databases.

recordings specifies, "significant coverage in reliable sources". This article has only one source (Allmusic).

  • Comment. It's a compilation album. Even though it appears to be an official one (from one of OP's labels), there must be dozens by now. Unless there's something that makes this one stand out, I see little reason to keep the article. EddieHugh (talk) 18:48, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Oscar_Peterson_discography where it is listed. The AllMusic "review" is a single sentence. I did find what looks like a full paragraph here.

Do you have any idea how many OP compilation albums there might be? The number will be very high and growing all the time. Creating a list of them is pointless, as almost none will be notable and no one will be interested. Or are you volunteering to create this new section?

  • Delete: no evidence of notability. Not every author/podcaster is notable by our standards. His book was published nine years ago, and there isn't a single decent review that I can find in nine pages of Google searches ("Men Are Better Than Women" masterson); all I can find is that he was called a chauvinist in a comment on an article in the Telegraph, in 2011.

The inclusion test for an actor is not a raw count of how many films he has or hasn't appeared in — one film can be enough if the person gets an Oscar or BAFTA nomination for their performance, and 100 films can be not enough if those were all bit part roles that didn't garner any reliable source coverage about those performances. Actors are included or excluded on the basis of how well the article can or can't be referenced, not how many roles they have or haven't had. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose redirect to St. Mary, Norwalk the parish was taken from the territory of St. Mary, Norwalk, but there is no current link and a redirect would be misleading.--Jahaza (talk) 16:09, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I find a few articles on newspapers.com on the building, two from right after it opened and a third noting the award.[26], [27], and [28]. I'm not convinced either way, however. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I continue to think that a redirect to Saint Mary Church (Norwalk, Connecticut) is a reasonable resolution. Note that St. Mary, Norwalk bills itself as "The Mother Church of Norwalk, Connecticut," an already mentions St. Philip on its talk page. It is possible that this page could be sourced up to standard, in addition to the architecture, and coverage of chartitible efforts in local - but reliable, secondary - sources over the course of decades, there is a good deal of coverage related to a parishoner who enjoyed a moment in the national spotlight when his 1040's era discharge form the U.S. military for being gay, was replaced with an honourable discharge.[29] He was in design and did some stuff for big retailers that might make him able to have a page of his own, but he took charge of the church's decorative elements (both creatively and as a conservator, apparantly) So, as I say,someone could expand this page, but deleting seems to violate WP:PRESERVE and St. Mary's seems like the best merge destination.

Fails the General Notability Guideline because all sources located through a WP:BEFORE search are blogs or passing mentions. There is no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources as required by the GNG, and let me pre-empt comments by saying that blogs are user-generated content and are therefore not considered reliable sources.

  • Delete: Fails GNG and NWEB after checking notability. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 11:46, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No in-depth coverage; provided references consist of bare passing mentions. —Keφr 13:42, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The previous comments in this deletion discussion were written before I added a substantial new, referenced subsection to the article. Each of the mentions of the Slate Star Codex blog in the reliable sources may be relatively short – but together, they add up to enough material to sufficiently reliably source the current version of the article as of now. I would implore my fellow Wikipedia editors to employ their common sense here. Common sense suggests that if an otherwise roughly valid Wikipedia article can be written on a topic and reliably sourced, the topic satisfies one of the reasons for instituting the GNG in the first place – to exclude articles which could never be non-trivial if they were reliably sourced with currently-available sources, no matter how much they were improved. Also, the GNG does not actually say that coverage should be "in-depth", or should not be "passing mentions". It requires significant coverage, and says "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." So for the avoidance of doubt, it is OK, from the point of view of the GNG, that none of the independent sources cited have the SSC blog as their "main topic". What they do contain, collectively, is enough facts about the blog that are worthwhile to include in a Wikipedia article, to make it a non-trivial article. I think the current version of the article, as linked above, with over 700 words excluding references, counts as non-trivial. The GNG also explains: '"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.' Again, I think the intent of the guideline matters here, and I think the article is currently reasonably free of original research, which also being detailed, so that criterion seems to be satisfied sufficiently to make an article, which is what matters. --greenrd (talk) 17:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that you've misinterpreted the GNG here. The term significant coverage in reliable, independent sources cannot be selectively cherry-picked. Sources must be found that contain significant coverage, and those sources must be both reliable and independent. All these conditions need to apply at once - and no, a whole bunch of passing mentions cannot possibly add up to "significant coverage". Exemplo347 (talk) 17:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You say "a whole bunch of passing mentions cannot possibly add up to "significant coverage"" - but why not? What do you base this belief on?--greenrd (talk) 18:01, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, you can't cherry-pick. "Significant coverage" is a straightforward term, defined in the GNG as "more than a trivial mention." Trivial mentions don't suddenly morph into "significant coverage" just because there's a lot of them. Exemplo347 (talk) 18:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I guess I should have spoken in a more lawyerly way. To be more precise, my full argument on this matter is actually (a) the letter of the GNG is met, the coverage of SSC in the reliable sources - such as this one - is mostly not trivial - but (b) I have a fallback argument if you don't agree with (a), which is that even if you don't think the coverage is non-trivial, their cumulative effect is non-trivial.--greenrd (talk) 21:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article you have referenced does not talk about the blog itself, rather it talks about a blog entry - the difference may seem ridiculously picky but Wikipedia's notability guidelines state that Notability cannot be inherited. As to the cumulative effect of lots of trivial articles somehow adding up to something non-trivial, I'm not sure how many times I need to keep repeating myself. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But what is a blog but a collection of blog entries, an optional sidebar of links, and a usually-trivial About page? Come on! By your logic, no number of notable events in a person's life would make a biographical article about them pass the GNG, because the notability of the events that they notably participated in would not "transfer" to the person themselves! But that's ridiculous! The reality is that if a person is non-trivially covered participating in an event in reliable independent sources, it contributes towards that person's notability with respect to the GNG, and in the same way, if a blog post is non-trivially covered in reliable independent sources that explicitly mention the name of the blog or the blogger, I would argue, it contributes towards the notability of the blog with respect to the GNG. The non-inheritance of notability principle is meant to prevent things like a son inheriting his father's notability, or a restaurant inheriting its new proprietor's notability. --greenrd (talk) 20:45, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Look, the GNG is straightforward. If you want to change it, then you'll need to head over to the appropriate forum and get it changed. Until then, articles have to meet its requirements. If this blog had coverage that meets the GNG I would have found it and !voted accordingly. I didn't find any - now let's not WP:BLUDGEON this point over & over, it's not going to change my mind because I've based my nomination on Wikipedia's policies, not my personal opinion. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:34, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Exemplo347:Wait, I'm not following this. I think the Weekly Standard reference is insufficient for a WP article, but I've never seen the blog vs. blog entry notability distinction before. A blog is its blog entries. That's not inheritance as far as I can tell. Can you give an example of another AfD discussion where this distinction or a very similar one was drawn? Utsill (talk) 14:16, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Utsill:As far as I can tell, they're saying that it's not enough for a news article to merely talk about a particular article on a blog - it has to talk about the blog as a whole. Of course, by this standard about half of List of blogs should be deleted... [edit] It seems obvious to me that notability must transfer along the same lines as merging, or merging is fundamentally broken as a tool. The notability of a set of articles should never go down as a result of a merge. It is hence absurd for a blog that has multiple notable articles to not be itself notable. As far as I can see, the Wikipedia:Notability (web) rule merely concerns association, not composition. For instance, "Similarly, a website may be notable, but the owners or authors do not "inherit" notability due to the web content they wrote" seems to imply by omission that the website itself does inherit notability from the content on it. @Exemplo347: please opine? 2003:D4:FBC8:8047:900:5EE1:3907:49F6 (talk) 19:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)2003:d4:fbc8:8047:900:5ee1:3907:49f6 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete I do worry people are falling into deletionism/dogpiling here, but my best search for multiple independent RS's covering SSC in significant coverage is nonetheless coming up short. I think the Weekly Standard and Vox references come close, but they're opinion pieces and few in number. Utsill (talk) 14:16, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nowhere does the GNG exclude opinion pieces as applicable reliable sources for notability purposes. You might believe that it should, but in point of fact, it doesn't. On the contrary, it references the reliable sources guideline which is written in terms of "all majority and significant minority views", making it clear that the notion of a reliable source is supposed to include publications that publish "views", i.e. opinions. As we can all no doubt acknowledge, opinion pieces often state true facts within them.--greenrd (talk) 22:08, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking mostly about: "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact." from WP:NEWSORG. I am not suggesting any changes to WP:GNG, and I don't think the antagonistic tone of your comment is helpful. Utsill (talk) 00:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you really wanted, we could of course replace statements like "Scott Alexander has written blog posts about scientific methodology" in the article with "A Vox writer has claimed that Scott Alexander has written blog posts about scientific methodology", but that would be unnecessary and silly. I don't see the relevance of classifying certain sources as "opinion pieces" per se to the article's notability, or to this deletion discussion. To show that a source was unreliable, you would have to do more than cast vague aspersions such as "it's an opinion piece".--greenrd (talk) 20:42, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My interpretation of WP policy is that the opinionated nature of the articles does count against them being RS's. You seem to disagree with the policy, not the interpretation. I do think this policy is a good one, because for example opinion pieces tend to mix around opinions with facts in ways that are difficult to discern. It's also easier to get coverage from an opinion piece or editorial, so that may lower the over GNG standards and have associated downsides. Utsill (talk) 17:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My point was that any contentious claim in the article could be rewritten using in-text attribution, thus rendering the source's alleged unreliability irrelevant from a notability point of view, and that this would not be necessary for all the claims in the article, some of which are just of the form "there are Slate Star Codex posts about topic X" and so are not controversial. Again, I'm applying common sense here, rather than the letter of the policy.--greenrd (talk) 23:40, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You say "Rendering the source's alleged unreliability irrelevant from a notability point of view," but I don't think in-text attribution would do that. Notability is not measured by the content or wording of an article, but rather by the nature of the sources. I think WP Notability is a distinct concept from any features of the WP article itself. For example, we wouldn't want a renegade editor to change the wording of the article in a way that made it so non-notable that the article should then be deleted. And if you agree with me here, but then think opinionated sources in themselves do more to establish notability than I credit them for, then I think we just circle back to our earlier discussion.

  • Keep The blog is actually cited by reference 2 and two paragraphs are given explaining and responding to his view.

It isn't peer reviewed at all, that's what you're not getting. It's a College publication. Nowhere in the link you've given, or on the site for the publication, does it say it's been peer reviewed. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:48, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You can see from the site that the papers are accepted or rejected by editors: [33] [34] [35]. The general editor, Ramona Ilea, is a faculty of philosophy [36]. The style and format of the publication are very similar to how peer-reviewed journals usually are. In my experience, journals (at least in philosophy) don't specifically advertise further details; there certainly isn't any reason to suppose that it wasn't peer-reviewed. K.Bog 23:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But it does address the rebuttal you made to my statement (which disproved the claim you made earlier that Kissel's paper constituted a "passing mention"). This is also a very simple matter which anyone with background in philosophy can clear up. And clearly I couldn't have foreseen that you would assert that Essays in Philosophy isn't peer reviewed when I decided to comment. The reason I didn't comment earlier is that I wasn't yet sure that this article ought to be preserved. K.Bog 00:39, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need a background in Philosophy to tell the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and a college publication. I must ask you not to forum-shop or canvas for comments - it's disruptive behaviour. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"College publication" usually refers to magazines and other collections of student work. The paper here was clearly a collection of reviewed academic papers submitted by philosophy professionals and graduate students in multiple countries. It looks like the only topic of dispute here is whether the papers were reviewed by peers or by less authoritative individuals. Also, I already responded to your accusations of forum-shopping and canvassing in the WikiProject Philosophy noticeboard where you followed my link in an attempt to tell WikiProject Philosophy users that they shouldn't comment in your AFD.

This page is empty of content. "Popular" -- with whom? "A certain class" -- what class? "For effective digital control..." is dubious, and the last sentence makes no sense without context. Those three short sentences are the whole article.

If "real time control" means anything (besides the "Real-time Control System", which is a specific thing produced by NIST that has its own substantial Wikipedia page), it can only mean "control carried out in real time". But all control systems work in "real time". The humble room thermostat keeps the room temperature constant "in real time", the quoted phrase adding nothing to the sentence. A Google search of "real time control" does not turn up anything referring to a generic sense of the phrase. "Real time" means something in relation to software: software that must keep up with some external process, as opposed to software that can take however long it takes to produce its result. But a controller must keep up with the system it is controlling; all control systems are real time.

In short, there is nothing for this article to be about. The article has had no substantial revision since it was created in 2004.

Delete - I was the original PRODer. I searched Google and Google Books and found no indication that "Avonaco" was, as appears to be claimed, a Cheyenne tribe. It turns up on a bunch of baby name sites as a Cheyenne first name, but no reliable sources indicate it's the first name of anyone notable that might merit a disambig page. ♠PMC(talk) 01:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of Westfield Group shopping centres in Australia. A narrow/literal reading of the discussion would indicate deleting, but the redirect resets things back to how they were after the previous AfD, which seems like the right thing to do.

  • Well, it might be eligible for a G4 Speedy (recreation of deleted article), but the editor (User:BugMenn) did add the "Incidents" section, so it's a bigger article. So IMO it's OK to reconsider it. One problem is, the "Incidents" section is just a grab-bag of police reports -- it's not like any encyclopedia-worthy stuff happened there. The editor has recreated the the deleted article, and just now deleted the AfD notice from the top of the article, which is not the kind of behavior we want to see -- or reward. I don't think User:BugMenn is promoting the entity. If he was he wouldn't have written the "Incidents" section. He just likes shopping mall articles. If anything, the article as it stands now kind of deprecates the mall, what with all the police-blotter info and all.
I don't care about shopping malls, but the existence of the article doesn't bother me. The previous AfD did have a couple of Keep votes, from editors pointing out that it would leave {{Westfield Australia}} with a single red link (or black link anyway, if the template is edited) and that seems unwarranted and would look a bit odd. Here's the template:
This makes sense. If editors want to document the activities of Westfield Australia (an apparently notable entitity) to this level of detail, I don't see how that's harmful. If we don't want this, then maybe we should look at all the articles in {{Westfield Australia}} and nominate then en masse, rather than just picking off one?
On the other hand, the article does not seem to meet WP:GNG. Even the new material about the big brawl just mentions the mall in passing. So a delete vote on that basis would be defensible. Herostratus (talk) 05:28, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete and salt fails WP:GNG. The incidents section is now bigger than the rest of the article. So WP:UNDUE. But these incidents don't even establish notability of the centre. The editor that has tried to defy consensus also has preciously used socks in AfD discussions. LibStar (talk) 09:35, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment it is concerning that the editor in question didn't get his way Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Westfield_Mount_Druitt. LibStar (talk) 09:44, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, after thinking it over, and looking at the other links in {{Westfield Australia}}. It seems illogical to focus on one link in {{Westfield Australia}} and say "let's delete just that one", because all the articles are basically similar. If someone wants to bring up all the articles {{Westfield Australia}} for consideration for deletion, that'd be different. But that'd be heavier lifting, and I'd probably oppose that.
Sure, the creator of the article is not acting great, but we don't delete otherwise acceptable articles to punish editors (except in the case of banned editors), that would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. Herostratus (talk) 15:07, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We are discussing the merits of the article in this AFD and its suitability to be included in Wikipedia. AFDs are not a discussion related to the behaviour of the creator. Ajf773 (talk) 20:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know; it was user LibStar who brought it up. Herostratus (talk) 06:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
you've said previously that this article does not seem to meet WP:GNG yet now you say keep. Secondly you've used an WP:ALLORNOTHING argument. LibStar (talk) 01:46, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The second G in GNG stands for "Guideline". It doesn't meet the GNG and that's a data point; it's not the end of the discussion. Let me turn the question around. The proposition is this: "There are 35 links in {{Westfield Australia}}. Many of them [maybe all, I didn't check them all] are to articles substantially similar to this one. Yet this one and only this one should be singled out to be deleted, because ___________." Well, what goes in the blank?
What we need here is a bundled deletion nomination for all the articles in {{Westfield Australia}} (unless there are a few that, for some reason should be excluded -- can't imagine what it would be, a mall is a mall, but maybe). WP:MULTIAFD gives step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Let's do that, and fine. You probably won't get my vote, but that's just me, and maybe you'll be able to clear out all 35 or so articles at once. Until then, it makes no sense to make a scattershot approach to this group of articles. Keep. Herostratus (talk) 06:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
most of the larger Westfields are notable but many of the smaller aren't. You still are using a flawed WP:ALLORNOTHING argument. There is absolutely no need for multiple nominations and this cannot be used to argue a keep case. LibStar (talk) 07:08, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again with the WP:ALLORNOTHING. I read WP:ALLORNOTHING and I understand [[WP:ALLORNOTHING, I just don't agree with it. It's an essay, just somebody's opinion, and IMO it's pretty silly because it says "Keep, because if you delete this you will have to delete other articles in this class [if you're going to be logical and consistent]" is a bad argument, when actually it's a very reasonable argument, if deleting the other articles in the class doesn't look like a good idea. What WP:ALLORNOTHING says, in essence, is "If you have a class of very similar articles, deleting some of them and keeping others, at random, is a good way to make an encyclopedia". And that's silly.
So what's your cutoff? Westfield Mount Druitt is 60,088 square meters with 240 stores. Westfield Belconnen is 94,718 square meters with 287 stores. Is Westfield Belconnen "in" and Westfield Mount Druitt "out", then? Westfield Woden is 62,000 square meters and 260 stores. Does that extra 1,912 square feet and 20 stores seal the deal for Westfield Woden? A lot of these malls are larger, but a lot of them are in the 60,000+ square meter range. Westfield Mount Druitt is in that smaller group.
So, I mean, I'm asking. Maybe there should be a 70,000 square meter cutoff, or something. I note Wikipedia:Notability (shopping centers) exists (it didn't pass though). I also see there is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers, which just shows that there are Wikipedians who are interested in this subject and willing to work on it. I'd leave 'em alone and let 'em'; they're not going after your articles. Herostratus (talk) 06:27, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft or Keep I know I've done something bad, but I will work on the article when on the draft AFC and submit when it meets th WP:GNG standard. Same thing happened with the Marrickville Metro article which was deleted in December. BugMenn (talk) 14:40 5 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Merge (or "Redirect" is okay too), obviously, to List of Westfield shopping centres in Australia. I say "obviously" because the list-article exists and can easily be expanded with some content on this mall and all others. Redirect or merge are good alternatives to outright deletion, in part because they leave behind the edit history allowing for re-establishment of the article if/when there is _substantial_ new content available. Just because the list-article and the navigation template exist and have barely any content besides the bare list, doesn't mean that content should not be developed at the list article. At this point there is not substantial content in this article (of the "incidents" only the first one possibly merits any mention at all), and if this mall is covered in the list-article there would be no need to split it out to a separate article. Any editor interested in reconsidering the other mall articles can and should edit at the main list-article first, making a table there probably, and proceed to implement mergers/redirects as they see fit and/or with merger proposals posted at the corresponding articles. The navigation template can/should be updated to show a blacklink (i.e. no bluelink, no redlink) for the Westfield Mount Druitt mall and any others merged to the main article. (I think that is mildly better than showing a bluelink which suggests to the reader that there will be a separate article about it, but which brings the reader to a row in the list-article.)
I think this is a sensible compromise in this case, and that the option to merge to a list-article is too often overlooked in general at AFD.  :) --doncram 19:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I see this recommendation, except with "Redirect" rather than "Merge", was the outcome of the previous AFD. Perhaps the problem then was that nothing was merged, i.e. the entire content was effectively deleted by the redirect, and there was no way forward apparent to the contributor(s). What is needed is for a real merger to be done, with the target list-article at least partially transformed into a real list-article with content and inline citations to sources, from its current state (effectively a navigation template, merely listing malls while providing no content, sourced or unsourced, about them). One could start by developing a table row or two about some of the most notable malls, drawing on their articles. Then make a smaller row about this mall which seems not to be individually notable but which can exist as a list-item (for which no absolute law on notability applies; list-item notability can be defined by local consensus at any list-article). The last AFD outcome and/or its implementation was too harsh in effect. --doncram 22:42, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
