  • Redirect I don't speak Albanian, so trying to find additional sources would be a bit difficult for me to understand, but I wasn't able to find any sources at a cursory glance. Haing a read over the applicable inclusion guideline WP:BROADCAST, it states "Because of the public interest served, most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes". This article does state that original content is produced, in section Tring_Tring#Original_Products so it may meet this criteria for inclusion. An article exists on the parent company that operates the channel, Tring-Albania. If nothing else, this article should be redirected there.

WP:BLP of a city councillor, in a city not large enough to hand its city councillors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2. As always, city councillors are automatically presumed notable only in internationally famous global cities on the order of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto or London, but Chattanooga is not in that class — rather, it is in the lower tier of cities where a councillor qualifies for a Wikipedia article only if she can be referenced to a depth and range and volume of coverage that makes her much, much more special than most other city councillors. The fact that some local media coverage happens to exist in her local media market does not automatically get a city councillor in the door, because every city councillor in every city can always show some evidence of local media coverage in their own local media market. The notability test for a city councillor is that her notability nationalizes well beyond just her local media market, not just that some local media coverage exists in her own city where it's merely expected to exist.

  • Comment @Onel5969: Hello and thank you for your advice, I am still learning! Can the article page just be removed from these categories rather than deleted altogether? If it is seen as too incomplete can it be moved 'back' into a DRAFT ARTICLE status instead. The notability of Scottish working class volunteers in the Spanish Civil War such as George Drever is referenced elsewhere and others can find more supporting materials, or I can when back in action (but not this coming 7 days however, due to other commitments). Help and advice is much appreciated. Other editors who have advised me can help steer? Kaybeesquared (talk) 14:24, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Kaybeesquared - As I said on your talk page, don't let this AfD discourage you, you're doing fine work. Rarely do I feel as bad when I nominate a page for deletion as I did when making this one. It's a very nice article. Let's see what other editors think about the notability of the subject. My fear is that while there are mentions of him, there isn't the type of in-depth coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG, and he definitely doesn't meet WP:NSOLDIER. The additional citations are fine, but I don't feel that they meet the notability criteria. However, I am far from infallible, so a I said, let's wait to hear from other editors.Onel5969 TT me 15:42, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Onel5969: Thank you for your generous teaching - I am not familiar with the edit source language formats yet; so apologies for causing you extra work. Hopefully this comment is correctly drafted. One of the challenges re 'Scottish working class' notable people who put their life on the line for a cause, is they are to be ignored by rest of the world? As you say, we have to see what other editors do or say on the matter. I will look for other sources but cannot do more until about three weeks from now due to commitments externally.

Once again thanks for taking time out to assist a newbie!

  • Keep As well as the sources currently in the article (and the creator has added many since it was nominated for AfD), there are contemporary newspaper reports available in the digitised British Newspaper Archive. His talks before and after he fought in Spain are reported (he gave a series of talks in 1934 on "Revolutions or Revolts"), and of course there were reports of him being missing and then being held prisoner, which have biographical information in them too (he was the eldest son, apparently). I will be happy to add them to the article. There are certainly enough sources to meet WP:GNG (and there is also WP:BASIC, which does not appear needed in this case, but says "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.") RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:05, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Thank you for the extra resources @RebeccaGreen:as I began the article to help us to flush out further materials, because Drever is a notable example of educated working class who contributed to scientific research and also to further philosophical/ethical/political causes such as communism, anti-facism in his case but these people can be ignored by the traditional media, making secondary sources difficult to find.

However Drever is referenced in various IB materials and quoted by other Scottish Volunteers to the International Brigade in their personal histories, which can be added to the article as supportive evidence.

Superficially plausible but seems to be a clever WP:HOAX. To the extent I was able to look up the sources cited, they did not check out. Ref no 1, Burke, is available online in searchable form [1]. A search or "Westman" there does produce a single mention but it does not seem to be this one. Ref no 4, "The Old Boys: The Decline and Rise of the Public School", is available with a preview in Google Books.[2]. There is no mention of Westman in the book and nothing on pp. 125-126 given in Ref no. 4. Similarly, Ref no 6 "Entitled: A Critical History of the British Aristocracy"[3] is available in Google Books with a preview and does not contain any mention of Westman. The article claims that the subject was sworn as a member of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom in 1938, at the tender age of 31. The claim also sounds ridiculous. Not surprisingly, nothing about Westman in List of Privy Counsellors (1936–52) or in the sources used for the Privy Council appointment announcements such as the London Gazette[4]. Google searching of various kinds produces nothing of substance except various mirrors leading back to Wikipedia. The situation is similar with the companion page, Edwin Westman. Maybe I am completely barking up the wrong tree here, but to me this pair of articles appears to be a coordinated hoax. Nsk92 (talk) 18:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: Some of the details relate to Kenneth Edwin Westman 1907-1964 but not all the facts fit. K E Westman was born in Penllyn/Cowbridge, South Wales on 2 Feb 1907 but his father was not "Edwin Westman", he was the son of William James Westman and Beatrice (nee Branch) Westman. Kenneth appears with his mother in the 1911 Census at Kilburn in London (she was born in London) but by 1912 he started at Pennline School in Cowbridge, Glamorganshire. In 1935 Kenneth is described as an Accountant and in 1937 as an "Observer". He did marry a "Jean Felicia Bedworth" in Lisbon, Portugal. The 1939 Register list Kenneth at 3 Upper Park Road in Hampstead and he is described as "Secretary - Accountant Statistician Linguist", he is described as married but his wife is not at home but his sister-in-law Margaret Caroline Bedworth a Teacher is living in the same house (His wife was in Durham with her parents). Kenneth died in 1964 in Kensington. His wife Jean died on Oxfordshire in 2003. Jean was the daughter of Bertam Bedworth (1878-1940) and Edith Emily (nee Dixon). Bertram's occupation is listed as "Chief Rate Fixer Electrical Engineering" in 1939. MilborneOne (talk) 09:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete entry appears to be the result of some dodgy genealogical research which is not born out by sources. I think we may have a bit of 2+2=5 stuff going on. Some of the info points to this being Kenneth Edwin Westman but a lot of the facts appear to be bogus. In fact all that can be proved is that he was born in 1907, died in 1964 and married Jean Bedworth. MilborneOne (talk) 09:42, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Edwin Westman - cant find any evidence that Edwin Westman as described exists (I can only find two Edwin's in late 19th Century one was a poultry farmer in Nottinghamshire and another was a "Piece Maker" in Bradford both appear to have died in the First World War.

  • Comment. I got a copy of the book "Entitled: A Critical History of the British Aristocracy" (listed as a source in both articles) from Amazon. No mention of either Westman there, including on pp. 33–35, 141, 399–402. Pages 33–35 deal with pre-Norman conquest England. Page 141 deals with the events of early 17-th century. Pages 400–402 are a part of the Index. Nsk92 (talk) 21:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete None of the above names are notable. Just mentioned by some local sources. Deleted at Persian Wikipedia.Farhikht (talk) 17:13, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is simply not the way to do this. It isn't a disambiguation, because it does not disambiguate anything. It isn't even at the correct title for such a disambiguation, which would be Daramad, that currently does not exist. Roughly half the sources cited are about some people, and are irrelevant. The other half just seem to be picked for their URLs, without reading what they are at all. One, for example, outright says that it contains no information at all on the surname. Then there are the citations of Wiktionary, aggregators of Wikipedia and other content that masquerade as informational WWW sites, user-submitted WWW pages that were suspiciously user-submitted around the time that this page was created, and (quite bizarrely) an Encyclopaedia Iranica article that isn't about anything mentioned in the article at all. Then there's the infobox that lists a set of geographic locations as a gender. This is a non-article non-disambiguation mess. None of this is helpful in writing a proper article or a proper disambiguation. Uncle G (talk) 22:06, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't understand how a page that has legitimate news sources discussing them can be deleted. I get it if I were submitting personal or company blogs, press releases, industry rags, etc. but legitimate news seems to be valid. This company, as an example, made national news with the super bowl and does tremendous goodwill locally. You're fine to remove the link to the site, as that seems to be something you all are having issues with, but don't act like KOMO, KXRO, Crime Stoppers, Fox News (local), Seattle Times, Houston Chronicle, and more are not credible sources. The page is not promotional in any sense, it actually calls attention to their lawsuit in the past. I'm fine if someone has issues with a page, but tell people how to improve it or what you'd like see removed to make it acceptable, in lieu of just keeping all these decisions in-house to the power editors. There are literally countless commerical businesses with Wiki pages, so that argument is out the window. There are countless pages on Wiki that go back on forth on prominence, but for this state this company is very widely known and big, no different than anything else on Wiki. It's just frustrating that 4 months after the case and adding more new citations from valid sources you just email saying it's slated for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPlayNiceWithOthers (talkcontribs) 19:12, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
First step to understanding is to read our guidelines and policies. Companies/organization fall under WP:NCORP guidelines. The criteria for notability can be boiled down to a simple concept - someone, somwhere, wrote an in-depth piece which contains original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject and it was published in a suitable publication. That's it. The fall-out from this is that while "legitimate news sources" may tick the box on "suitable publication", if they simply interview someone *connected* with the business (CEO, investor, customer, etc) and not provide any independent analysis/comments/fact-checking on the company, then it fails as a suitable reference. It is that simple. If you can find at least two references that you believe meet the criteria, then all of the Delete !voters will probably change their minds if they agree.

  • Keep - it is not a surname article but rather a community, another among the thousands of castes/tribes recognised in India. So don't get too hung up on the surname stuff. They will pass GNG as a community - plenty of sources as noted by Pontificalibus, at least some of which are reliable. - Sitush (talk) 17:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I had just started adding names of people and places to that article, but Sitush has just informed me that that should not be done. It appears that at least some of the sources found in a search for "Maheshwaris" in Google books are about people called Maheshwari, not about the caste (this source [12], for example, is about one particular family - Ashok and Arun Maheshwari and Arun's wife Ameeta Maheshwari). If there is enough significant coverage about the use of this as a sub-caste name, then I would encourage Sitush to write an article, otherwise I don't see why this should not just be explained in the article Bania (caste), which supposedly they are a sub-caste of, but which does not mention them at all (it is also a stub).

  • Merge Actually, I do think that this should be merged into Bania (caste). If it is a sub-caste of that caste, then that article should have information about it. It currently has nothing, and it is also a stub. The sources I saw in the Google Books search show discussion of this sub-caste with the other sub-castes, leading me to think that WP:NOPAGE may apply. RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:17, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentRebeccaGreen, Maheshwari is an ambiguous term, and merging/redirecting it anywhere doesn't seem like a good idea. People typing the term may actually want to search one of the biographies with this (sur)name. So we should either expand it as a caste article (provided it has received enough coverage in reliable sources) or just convert it into a surname/DAB page: there are at least 15 biographies with this surname. In short, the page should be kept in one form or another. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:14, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
NitinMlk, as I mentioned above, I started adding names of places and people to this article - ie, converting it into a surname/DAB page. Sitush reverted those changes, and said that names of people should not be on the same page as the name of a caste/sub-caste (there is apparently a policy about this - Sitush directed me to WP:BLP, which however includes nothing about castes). That is why I suggest merging to the caste article. Otherwise, I would agree that the article should be kept. But I am aware that I know nothing about Wikipedia practice regarding articles about castes, so I am really going on the basis that we have at least two related stub articles (presumably others, if there are other sub-castes), and until they are developed to the extent that they become too long for one article, I see no reason to have separate articles. RebeccaGreen (talk) 19:23, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I directed you to User:Sitush/Common#Castelists, which in turn has a partial basis in WP:BLP. Give me 24 hours or so and I will expand the article. As much as I am trying to avoid more than a few edits a day at the moment, I'll make the effort. I realise that you are unfamiliar with the topic area, so no worries. - Sitush (talk) 19:37, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RebeccaGreen, there is a long-standing consensus that BLPs should be connected with a particular caste/clan only if they self-identify with it, e.g. see this discussion. But at the same time, most of the South Asian surname lists contain these caste/clan mentions. In fact, Sitush himself solved the BLP-related problem by introducing a particular sentence in those lists, e.g. see Tandon.

Anyway, Sitush will fix it in one way or another. But I am listing here the people with this particular surname, just in case. :)

  • Keep – Now that Sitush has expanded the single-line stub into an informative article, this seems fine as a standalone caste article. And one can create a separate surname list under the title of Maheshwari (surname), along with creating a Maheshwari (disambiguation) page to list the above article and all other similar pages. But that's not directly relevant to this AfD. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:20, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • RebeccaGreen, I am confused about that Vaishnaivite thing, too, but various sources say it. I note that the Maheshvari article exists and is presumably connected in some way but it is of a very poor standard and the deeper complexities of Hindu deism go beyond my sphere of knowledge.

  • Weak delete. Google Scholar lists two highly-cited publications by Kimball C. Atwood but with a date of 1951; I think they're likely by a relative of the subject rather than the subject himself. If Atwood has any notability it appears to be through his skepticism of others rather than his own works as a physician. But although I can find various skeptic blog posts about him, I'm having difficulty finding reliably-published and in-depth sources about him, which we would need for WP:GNG notability. His Institute for Science in Medicine page is in-depth but not independent, so that doesn't count. The page announcing that is a Fellow of the Center for Skeptical Inquiry [13] (despite being insufficient for WP:PROF#C3) probably does count as independent of him and in-depth, though. So that's one. But we need more than that, and I didn't find it. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:26, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    He is particularly concerned with implausible claims being promoted, tacitly or otherwise, by medical schools and government, and by the ethics of human trials of such claims.

    , while the Science-Based Medicine one says

    He is particularly concerned with implausible claims being promoted, tacitly or otherwise, by medical schools and government. He is also dubious about the ethics of human trials of such claims.

    and the naturowatch one says

    Dr. Atwood is especially concerned with the extent to which influential medical institutions -- among them medical schools, respected journals, and the National Institutes of Health -- have tolerated and even embraced highly implausible health theories and practices.

    Cheers, gnu57 01:47, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    But isn't it quite common for an organization to lift language describing someone's background from another site? For example, I've seen bios for invited speakers where part of the description of their background is lifted almost verbatim from the Wikipedia article about them. This doesn't necessarily show lack of independence of the organization. NightHeron (talk) 13:34, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    For this article to pass WP:GNG, it needs to contain external sources of information on Atwood. Regardless of what organisation is publishing the description, if the content is lifted almost verbatim from a promotional profile or self-written material, it is not independent/external. (I agree that invited speaker and "about the author" blurbs generally don't count towards notability.) Cheers, gnu57 13:57, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The notability comes from recognition of Atwood as a "Fellow" by the Center for Skeptical Inquiry, but that can be questioned if the CSI is not an independent organization. I'm suggesting that the fact that part of the content of the CSI bio of Atwood was lifted from a non-independent source does not show CSI's lack of independence, and so does not diminish the significance of the recognition as a Fellow by CSI. NightHeron (talk) 14:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, ok, I see what you mean. I don't think the fellowship counts towards WP:NPROF#C3, though, since it's not with "a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE)". gnu57 17:49, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm waiting to see if more shows up - but at the moment I'm leaning towards keep. This is a man that was very active in the scientific skepticism world in the past but not active lately. It is hard to hold this older generation to the same standards as someone who is active in 2019. Being a Fellow of CSI is quite notable (conflict - as so am I). I see the Chicago Tribune and Nature reached out to him about his work against chelation therapy - that's notable. Also he gave testimony to the Massachusetts Legislature - that's very notable. His career as a doctor is not what gives him notability, but his expertise as a doctor has allowed him to be a notable critic of alt-med. Lets see if others can give us some more, but as I say I'm leaning to keep. Sgerbic (talk) 22:46, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Apparently in Massachusetts anyone who wants to can submit testimony to the state legislature.[16] Atwood did so in 2003 not on his own behalf, but as a representative of the Massachusetts Medical Society. According to their website, "MMS officers frequently offer testimony and/or legal perspectives to state and federal officials on issues relevant to Massachusetts physicians and their patients." (Atwood was chair of the MMS "Committee on Quality of Medical Practice" in 2003). There are a large number of testimonies archived on the MMS site, either uncredited or delivered by professionals who do not appear Wikipedia-notable. The society presented naturopathy-related testimonies with very similar wording in 2013 and 2015, without crediting Atwood. gnu57 23:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question @Sgerbic: Since the notability question seems to be borderline, it would be helpful to know whether or not Atwood was perceived as a leader in the scientific skepticism world. For example, how would he compare with Steven Novella, Marcia Angell, and Edzard Ernst, all of whom deservedly have wikipedia pages? NightHeron (talk) 23:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Great question - but I don't know how to compare these people fairly. Novella and Ernst are considered the top of the top in the scientific skepticism community. I had not heard of Angell before reading her Wikipedia page right now, sounds like a pretty amazing person. Atwood seems to be behind many important organizations, and also writes for Skeptical Inquirer and Science Based Medicine - both considered RS - he is an important part of the time when the Internet as far as scientific skepticism was finding its feet, publishing and doing activism concerning CAM. If I had to think of him in the terms you mention, I would say Stephen Barrett, Barry Beyerstein or maybe James Alcock. Not so much a "leader" but more of someone who was behind getting things started and keeping things running. I wasn't around at the time that he was active with his activism concerning CAM. Reading over what he did concerning the Massachusetts Legislature and his writings, I think he is plenty notable. Thanks for the question. Sgerbic (talk) 04:08, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I may be biased since I did the rewrite for Atwood. Part of the problem may be my inexperience as a wiki editor. After reading the criteria of notability, I see I used quite a bit of primary sources instead of secondary sources. I am used to writing about science information where primary sources are important. I went back and found 52 entries of secondary sources ranging from CNN, NBC news, USA Today, CBC Canada, Chicago Tribune, QZ.com, Forbes, Psychology Today, theaustralian.com, spiegel.de, researchgate, medscape, Center for Inquiry, Science in medicine, Nature, and multiple science blogs, and a few alt-med sites. I am willing to edit the page to include these secondary sources. Here is a list of the secondary sources I found: https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=User:CarlosXing/sandbox/atwood-secondary-sources CarlosXing (talk) 21:32, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Most of your links that I spot-checked looked like either blogs (not usually reliable) or stories in reliable sources that merely quoted Atwood rather than including in-depth material about Atwood. Sources like that do not count towards notability. Could you possibly make a trimmed list of the sources that you think should count in this way? —David Eppstein (talk) 01:04, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

David Eppstein, thank you for keeping me on my toes. I removed a duplicated AP article. I sorted the news articles with what I think is the best ones on top. I do note the news articles covering the ethical issues on a single study range over an 8 year period from 2008 to 2016. One final comment not covered directly in the news but should be part of the equation. Atwood is no longer active, but proponents of alt-med continue to defend themselves from his criticisms as I pointed out in my comment below. CarlosXing (talk) 11:18, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Gary Null is an alternative medicine proponent. In his most recent show notes on August 19, 2019, Null is rather critical of scientific skepticism. However, he recognizes Atwood as one of the leaders against alternative medicine. "At a glance many of its contributing authors are familiar to Quackwatch and SBM blog readers, notably Kimball Atwood, the co-founder of Barrett’s National Council Against Health Fraud William Jarvis and Wallace himself." and "It is also worth noting that SRAM editorial administration operated out of the leading Skeptic organization Center for Inquiry through which all subscription and press inquiries were directed. Stephen Barrett, Wallace Sampson, Steven Novella, Kimball Atwood and David Gorski are all leading celebrities in the Center, especially its Committee for Skeptical Inquiry."CarlosXing (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Null does mention Atwood, but he doesn't provide substantive information about him beyond calling him a celebrity of skepticism. gnu57 17:49, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    What relevance is there in whether or not Null gives "substantive information about him"? The fact that a prominent opponent of skepticism calls Atwood a "celebrity" of skepticism is certainly evidence of notability. Null isn't being used as a source for the article, except in providing evidence of notability. NightHeron (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did anyone actually pay attention to the timing of Null's podcast cited here?--TMCk (talk) 23:26, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep. As established int he article, Attwood is a significant figure in the growth of the medical skeptic community - a "notable figure in science and skepticism" to quote the Center for Inquiry. This meets GNG quite handily. Guy (Help!) 09:30, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see WP:GNG: Atwood hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. All the sources in the article are written by him, closely connected with him, or mention him in passing. gnu57 17:49, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep After reviewing the recent changes and reading others comments I'm going to vote Keep. The Gary Null comment was what tipped me over, notability can be established in many ways, including being recognized by notable critics. Null being one. Sgerbic (talk) 03:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've never seen that criterion used before - does that mean that every pseupscience proponent that is openly recognized by a notable critic deserves an article? I don't see this working as a standard. - Bilby (talk) 23:40, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is the slippery slope argument Bilby, of course not. There is more than that. But generally people are made notable by their peers and detractors who are also notable. When you are notable and you recognize someone else as notable then you have the makings of a peer. People like Chopra and Null criticize people all the time, but they rarely mention them by name. Even more rarely they write about them, when they do then we should take note also. Here is one way I explain notability to people who are unaware of how this works, I say imagine that something odd has happened in the world, like suddenly we see a sea monster crawling along the beach. The media will reach out to someone to explain, the more notable the media the more likely they will call in a expert. They name that person as a expert. The more that person is recognized as a expert and more interviews are done and more articles written about that expert, and then notable critics write about why they have taken issue with that expert then it raises their nobility. Plus that sea monster event will probably get a Wikipedia page. Sgerbic (talk) 00:52, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be confusing two separate things. We don't create articles about people because they are experts, or because they have been criticised by name. We create articles about people because reliable sources have "taken note" of them sufficient for use to create an NPOV article. What you are arguing is that being important ("notable" in non-Wikipedia terms) in some way is enough to warrant an article, but that has never been what notability on WP was about. Notability has always been about whether or not sufficient coverage exists, not about the subject's percieved importance. It doesn't matter how many times they are asked to comment on your sea monster - if there are insufficient non-trivial independent sources about the subject, then we can't create an article on them. - Bilby (talk) 01:16, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well obviously it would follow that RS are being created because they are recognized as experts by notable people and notable organizations. I'm not sure why you keep splitting hairs Bilby? Can we move on now? Sgerbic (talk) 17:04, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't follow. The point of the specific notability requirements is to name situations where we can safely assume that the coverage would exist, even if we haven't found it. Nothing that has been proposed here shows that Atwood meets the specific notability requiremenst or the GNG. The mistake you seem to be making is assuming that expertise equates to sufficient coverage, and it doesn't. What we need is evidence that sufficient coverage exists, not that the subject is in some way important in the field. - Bilby (talk) 23:21, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion, as the subject lacks the in-depth, independent coverage needed to meet WP:BIO, WP:AUTHOR. While the article cites a number of sources, a glaring issue is that almost every source is WP:PRIMARY, as they are based on information provided by the subject, most often in the form of an interview. No source cited lodges a credible claim to encyclopedic notability, and other sources are listing/profile pages that do not provide in-depth information. In addition to this, the fact that the article was created by a blocked (initially undisclosed) paid editor and the fact the article cites sources (such as the Guardian source [17]) written by freelance journalists imply this article contradicts WP:NOTADVERTISING and Wikipedia:Notability#SPIP.

I can't find enough reliable sources about this footage to justify keeping an article, even if it was made by Kurt Cobain. It's not even really a home movie as such, per Live Nirvana it's a bunch of random clips recorded by 17-year-olds and never published (or intended for publication). While it's reasonable to argue that the published works of incredibly notable figures like Cobain are inherently notable, I don't think that argument extends to unpublished unreviewed experiments created in one's teenage years. ♠PMC(talk) 12:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. Despite being supposedly created by the very notable Cobain, there is not enough reliable sources that discuss this home video he did as a teenager to justify an article. And definitely not under this name. There are some very brief mentions of these home video clips out there, so I suppose I wouldn't be entirely opposed if it were given a very brief mention on Cobain's article. However, this particular article title is worthless as a redirect as it is A)too generic of a name to be a useful search term, B)not even an official title of the clips, just a name that was seemingly made up to describe them.

The subject of the article is the author of a book which has sold more than 250,000 copies and has been translated into more than 7 languages. The book has been praised by people such as Larry Summers and Paul Volcker. By any metric that is a fairly notable person. 2. There are plenty of other Wikipedia articles on people who have merely published a single book, i.e. much the same thing. If those articles are allowed, this one should be, too. R. James Breiding is the author of two books, runs a successful hedge fund which has its own Wikipedia page and is a noteable speaker at famous universities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwissMade2019 (talkcontribs) 12:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While there appears to be a place called "Bathkapalli" in Karimnagar district, Telangana according to Google Maps and some non-reliable websites (like this), this place is not mentioned in official census website. It is also not clear whether this is a village or smaller scale dwelling. There are no sources in the article and most content is non-encyclopedic. SD0001 (talk) 09:58, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: according to WP:GEOLAND, all we have to do is a find a reliable source verifying the existence of a consensus town, or legally recognised settlement. Then the population is immaterial. Google maps cant be used as a reliable source, and villageinfo.in has been decided as a non-RS by the community through an RfC. —usernamekiran(talk) 10:50, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep thanks to the reference added by User:Pontificalibus. The more common spelling seems to be "Bathikepally" as per [18] (Telengana govt). The village is also available in the 2011 census [19] (state Andhra Pradesh, district Karimnagar, sub-district all) although the spelling is Bathkepalle and the town/village code is 572193.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:06, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

comment : not an editorial concern, Wikipedia always follow neutrality and verified sources . We can not reliable on india,Bangladesh or Pakistan statistics and news.Its unverified (per neutrality). We need third party statistics and sources otherwise it’s not necessary to keep this article just because of just notable topic. You can see the deletion archive many articles has been removed just because of this verification concerns. “ notable topic. Neutrality, bias and unreliable sources are all editorial concerns that can be resolved ” its approve when just fews sentences, statistics are lacks of neutrality. You can not reliable on maximum indian sources. And there have less chance to fix this in future because 65 references was added. And this article looks like good so no one will bother in future about this article. So It's better to take decision now besides of nationalism not to be biased. You can see history related articles have many biased decisions and comments before which is we needed to avoid per as Wikipedia policy. We don't need to keep unverified articles for readers. Just base on Indian news we can not keep this,we need to international statistics and maximum coverage to stay this article on Wikipedia. Rasi56 (talk) 11:25, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan Hall houses the Psychology department at Stanford and was the site of the Stanford prison experiment. It was named after David Starr Jordan the university's first president. None of this even put together makes it more significant than any other building in the Main Quad and can be easily covered in that article. I could see a disambiguation link on the Jordan Hall (disambiguation) to the Main Quad article. I note btw that the Main Quad (Stanford University) article recently got renamed to just Main Quad which I think is a very bad idea since multiple universities have Main Quads (e.g., University of Chicago, De Anza College, University of Illinois). --Erp (talk) 23:22, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The citations should not obscure the fact that, as the nominator correctly says, this is a highly promotional article. It is clear that the article is principally to serve the purpose of spruiking the app's features to potential users. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This app has gained a lot of notability since the last nomination. And the previuos article was mostly based on press releases etc. Currentlyit is downloaded 20,000 times a month and it is used in almost all of running events in the country. I created the article with proper sources that show this app is notable. We should remember that this app is for running so the news will only be about running events. Off handidly saying that such news coverage is not good enough is not right. It is used to host running events of 6000 users almost every week. So it passes GNG quite easily. The WP:PROMO guidelines have been followed to the letter in the article. It only informs the user and does not use any phrase to promot the software. LigonX (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi LigonX - I was not being off hand when I described the sources - I actually spent quite a bit of time looking into them closely, and searching for better ones, before making the nomination. If you check the websites carefully, you will see that the articles giving significant coverage to the subject are written by 'contributors' on websites that accept articles from the public - that is a form of WP:UGC, and they are not considered reliable, or to contribute towards notability. Take a look at the section on Forbes Contributors at WP:Perennial sources for some discussion of this type of source. As a commercial product, this article needs WP:CORPDEPTH-level sourcing, not just WP:GNG, and these refs do not come close. As for the promotional phrasing - the very first sentence starts with JomRun is a top ranking... - see WP:PEACOCK, that is not how to write a neutral, encyclopedic article.

  • Interesting case! Apparently the book won two awards in Romania; Premiul I „Vladimir Colin” and Premiul RomCon. The author's page quotes two reviews of the book but it's not immediately clear to me if they're from self-published blogs or edited publications.[22] We need to dig deeper. Haukur (talk) 09:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I came to this after being pinged by Haukurth (talk · contribs). I do not believe that blurbs on the author's personal page can be used as sources, regardless of their nature -- we should refer to the original sources, if anything (though yes, they do appear to be blogs). The book was however reviewed by the (now paywalled) Observator Cultural -- see here, which also mentions that it was a unique achievement in its context, for being voluminous and for receiving all relevant awards in Romania for that year. The comics inspired by the novel were also covered by Mediafax (here). There might be other reviews, but unfortunately Romanian literary magazines are going offline these months, so I can't really check that far back (though I have a faint recollection of reading about the novel in articles ca. 2002). That said, I wonder if the novel should have its own article, or whether it can/should be folded into the writer's bio. Dahn (talk) 11:38, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the sources found by Dahn which seem to constitute two pieces of non-trivial coverage as needed by WP:NBOOK. We don't currently have an article on the author. If an author is primarily noted for one work then I think we're better off with an article about the work than the author. For an author with two notable works, an author article is a good idea. Not sure which is the case here but as things stand we don't have an author article to merge to. Haukur (talk) 13:08, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While Women2Win may be notable despite being a redlink, I don't think the same can be said about its Welsh arm. I wasn't able to find any substantial sources about it. It was originally kept in 2007, largely on the strength of "well it must be notable because someone notable chaired it" arguments, which don't hold up under our more stringent modern standards. I'm not sure a redirect to Cheryl Gillan is suitable, as the organization isn't mentioned in her article. I couldn't find an independent source reporting about her chairing it, so I'm not sure it's even worth a merge there. In the absence of any major sources or reasonable redirect targets, we can't keep this. ♠PMC(talk) 03:03, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2. There is no other program (online or otherwise) that provides the ability to create a midi file that can play a microtonal composition from any synthesizer or sound card.

3. The microtonal community (i.e. virtually all 21st century composers) will be missing out if they are not made aware of this free online program.

I thank you for keeping this worthwhile article in Wikipedia.

MySonLikesTrump (talk) 01:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


The person who deleted this article apparently deletes many, many articles without spending any time to review the notability of the articles that they are deleting.

As an example, in the Microtonal_music article, under the section of "Creating microtonal music", they deleted the text which described how to create microtonal music, so the section made no sense after their edit.

On 7/30/19, after I created the "Creating microtonal music" section in the Microtonal_music article, I received messages at my website from four college professors who thanked me for creating the only tool which allows them and their students to play a microtonal composition from any synthesizer or sound card.

The person who deleted this article, and incorrectly edited the section in the Microtonal_music article, is causing damage to Wikipedia's reputation.

I sincerely hope that a high-level administrator takes a good look at the full history of the person who deleted this article.

MySonLikesTrump (talk) 02:28, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ahem, I like to think I'm a pretty high-level administrator here. The article is not deleted, of course; it's nominated for deletion. Discospinster is in fact the only person who stands between us and complete irrelevance. If you want to consider editors to support keeping this article, you will have to cite reliable secondary sources that prove it deserves an article. Drmies (talk) 02:05, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. The ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player program was mentioned in the Microtonal_music article (with a favorable personal response from four college professors) two weeks before the ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player article was created. That in itself proves that the ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player article is relevant and notable to the Microtonal community.

The ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player article (which is being considered for deletion) contains citations from 3 reputable websites:

https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/midi-player.html

https://www.w3.org/TR/webmidi

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API


Take a look at Discospinster's talk section. It would seem to be very difficult for them to truly judge each article's notability, considering the huge quantity of articles that they are deleting.

Again, why would someone delete text which describes how to create microtonal music, in a section entitled "Creating microtonal music" (see the Microtonal_music article).

Thank you again for your reply.

MySonLikesTrump (talk) 02:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: MySonLikesTrump, I understand your reasoning behind wanting to keep this article, but please realize that "notable" has a relatively narrow definition on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's notability requirements are unrelated to any of your three points. From WP:N: To be notable under the general notability guideline, a subject has to have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Has this piece of software been covered in reliable independent news or other sources? I don't see any on Google, but that doesn't mean that they aren't out there. K.Koopa (talk) 02:44, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - This is the ONLY program (online or otherwise) that provides the ability to create a midi file that can play a microtonal composition from any synthesizer or sound card. Deleting this article will deny the entire microtonal community of reading about this free website on Wikipedia. Microtonal music does not receive "significant coverage" in the media, but that is not a reason to deny its importance to the artistic world.

I understand how your rule would normally apply when deciding if an article should be accepted about a person. However, 90% of the products listed in the Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers article have NOT "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". For that reason, and the reasons that I previously described, this case certainly deserves an exception.

I really don't want to inform the heads of all the music departments that use MidiPro.org that Wikipedia refused to accept an article that describes something that they have already deemed to be incredibly important to their professors and students, just because Wikipedia feels it has not yet received "significant coverage".

Again, I understand why you have to deny articles that have little notability or relevance. However, that is not the case here.

Please consider all these issues when making your decision. Thank you again for your consideration.

MySonLikesTrump (talk) 03:14, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment - some of your arguments are more likely to concern editors considering your arguments than convince them. Things like "The microtonal community (i.e. virtually all 21st century composers) will be missing out if they are not made aware of this free online program." - the article doesn't exist to advertise software (even free software). If it was viewed as overly advertorial that would be grounds for deletion in its own right.
I picked 7 of the Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers list to check. 5 of them were very clearly notable, with various forms of good sourcing. One was iffy and another probably should be nominated for deletion. So it's not a case that this one has high coverage in comparison - though that would generally be irrelevant, it's worth reading Other Stuff Exists.
I'm not sure if "I really don't want to inform the heads of all the music departments ..." was supposed to be an odd threat, but its presence is a bit random. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:15, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I really do fully understand your reasoning, MySonLikesTrump, but it's just not valid here. I happen to think microtonal music is really cool too. But Wikipedia has rules, and those rules must be applied impartially. According to the rules, if something does not receive "significant coverage" in the media, it does not belong on its own page on Wikipedia. If ADSR Online Midi Editor and Player has/gets media coverage that brings it up to Wikipedia's notability standards, then it will be eligible to be the main subject of an article. My advice if you want to keep this article is that you read up closely on WP:GNG and submit a bullet-pointed list of links from reliable sources if they exist, all together under your original Keep vote, that substantiate this article's notability with regards to Wikipedia's guidelines. I can't find enough good WP:RELIABLE sources to justify keeping this article, but if you can find them, that's the theoretical path to my Keep vote. A significant amount of WP:RELIABLE sources is what talks here. You can come up with as many arguments not based in guidelines that you want, but arguments based in guidelines prevail. K.Koopa (talk) 02:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as a free piece of software that isn't downloaded, it's a little unclear whether this is more like NPRODUCT, NWEB or something else. I'm going to go with the easiest to satisfy - GNG. However, I still don't think sufficient sourcing is available to satisfy it. I've also read through the arguments above, and I'm not seeing a reason that makes this "important to users" article a reasonable Ignore All Rules case vs others the AfD community has declined in the past.

No prejudice against refunding a copy to MySonLikesTrump Nosebagbear (talk)
  • Keep - Within the hundreds of references and links in the Microtonal_music article, there is not a single mention of any other MIDI program that creates microtonal music. Removal of the ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player article would lesson the value of the Microtonal_music article, and would be doing a great disservice to the contemporary classical music community.

Four music professors who learned about this product from the Microtonal_music article contacted me through MidiPro.org, to inform me that they are recommending this program to their students. If this article is removed, other music scholars will not be made aware of this program that greatly increases the usage of microtonal music. That makes this article deserving of a unique exception, even though it has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources". MySonLikesTrump (talk) 18:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how well that holds up - the name is quite specific, and it's unlikely to be searched unless you already know of it (in which case use can't be too contingent on this article). If there is micro-industry-wide adoption of it, then that's plenty of other routes individuals can use. Without reliable sources we have no way of making sure that what visiting readers see actually is a reliable impression. We exist to inform them, not just act as a guiding post to the website. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:42, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. Regarding your concern "Without reliable sources we have no way of making sure that what visiting readers see actually is a reliable impression": If MidiPro.org is malicious then people will complain, and then you blacklist MidiPro.org.

Of the 50 programs listed at Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers, very few have "reliable sources". Except for MidiPro.org, every program on that list has to be downloaded at the user's risk. MidiPro.org is the only program on that list that does not require any downloads (or registration), so it is the safest program shown in that article.

MidiPro.org was created 2/1/2017. A Google search shows no negative reports whatsoever. MySonLikesTrump (talk) 19:01, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I never stated that it might be malicious, and we don't "blacklist" any product - we have articles for downright dangerous places on the web to visit. Instead it is purely the accuracy of the content inside the article we endeavour to demonstrate and as a tertiary source we specifically do so with reliable secondary sources. In any case, we're looking for notability, and nothing indicated thus far is so far outside the norm as to warrant Nosebagbear (talk) 20:20, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If "the accuracy of the content inside the article" is the issue, you can simply go to the website to see it is exactly as described: https://MidiPro.org

You can also see that all the features in the article are described in the Help File: https://MidiPro.org/Help.php

If I was to spend money to get reviews on several additional websites, I am afraid that you would continually say that those websites are not good enough.

Here is a reliable secondary source, is this good enough? https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/midi-player.html

Anyone with common sense can see that MidiPro.org is legit and relevant, and that Wikipedia users would benefit by having it appear in all applicable categories. If you delete this article, your inflexible policies are stifling innovation. MySonLikesTrump (talk) 23:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • MySonLikesTrump, where shall I start. First, you are not citing any secondary sources. You can't just barge in here without having even the slightest idea what we do. Well, you can, since in fact you are. Second, I don't care how many times you say keep, you're still just one person. Third, no, we are not going to go to some website to judge the accuracy of this or that content unless it is a secondary source. "Videoconverterfactory" is not acceptable via WP:RS; look it up. Finally, we're not in the business of doing innovation--that's really what MySpace is for. Drmies (talk) 01:08, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sending the URL of this section to the Music Department heads at 15 Universities who use MidiPro.org regularly, so they can see the arrogant, nasty and disrespectful remarks that Wikipedia admins make to people who try to contribute to Wikipedia, and so they can inform their students to never waste their time trying to submit a useful article to Wikipedia. Drmies said this me: "You can't just barge in here without having even the slightest idea what we do.", and "we're not in the business of doing innovation--that's really what MySpace is for." Really? Do you talk to people like that in real life, or only when you're hiding in your room? MySonLikesTrump (talk) 01:47, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Classical Archives was created in 1994, and has never had any advertising or user-entered editorial whatsoever. Their statement ("MidiPro.org is the only Online Midi Editor") has been prominently displayed on their website for more than two years (since at least April 26 2017): https://web.archive.org/web/20170426053227/https://www.classicalarchives.com/midi.html

@MySonLikesTrump: - while it probably does satisfy secondary, and I'm happy to concede it's reliable, there remains no way that this satisfies WP:SIGCOV. Have you considered adding a sub-section to the primary MIDI article? The requirements for inclusion in an article are much lower than to possess an entire article.

@Nosebagbear: - Thank you for your reply, and for your advice. The problem with a sub-section is that this article will then not appear in Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers. This article has more notability than most of the articles that are currently listed in Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers, and it makes no sense that the ONLY Online Midi Editor does not appear in that list, so please post a Keep. MySonLikesTrump (talk) 11:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We can't actually know what doesn't appear in that list, because it's not there. At least 2 other entries have been removed in the past. There may be others on the list that shouldn't have articles (and thus appear on the list). 5/6 out of the 7 I checked did have better sources than this article, but that would indicate at least a few would be potential AfD targets. That no-one has removed them yet can't be used to support another article's ongoing existence. Otherwise a small pool of unsourced articles could be used to support endless numbers, and those would support the original pool. It's explained a bit better in Other Stuff Exists.

Nevertheless, it still doesn't make sense that ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player should not be listed in Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers, since ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player has been verified by a reliable source to be the only Online Midi Editor in existence, which gives it notability. Although it is not Wikipedia's responsibility to promote programs, it is their responsibility to not intentionally exclude the only Online Midi Editor (and the only Midi Editor that supports microtonality) from an article that is supposed to provide a "Comparison of MIDI editors and sequencers". I don't think you will be violating WP's policies by posting a Keep here. MySonLikesTrump (talk) 12:55, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player has more notable references than the following 18 articles that are listed in Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers: Aria_Maestosa, Deluxe_Music_Construction_Set, FreeWRL, GNMIDI_Professional, Guitar_Pro, Keykit, Master_Tracks_Pro, MIDI_Converter_Studio, Mixcraft, MuLab_(MuTools), MultitrackStudio, NoteWorthy_Composer, Zynewave_Podium, Qtractor, Rosegarden, Scala_(software), Seq24, Z-Maestro MySonLikesTrump (talk) 13:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Most of these do indeed have few sources in articles. I've checked about 2/3 - some have sources available elsewhere (like this article, it's all about the sources available anywhere), I've added a few. 1 shouldn't have been on the list, as a redlink - I've removed it. 3 I don't think met notability, I've PRODed 2, and sent 1 to AfD. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:09, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for lack of evidenced notability in its current form. While I've only skimmed the arguments above, it appears at least one editor is arguing that it is clear that the article's subject is a notable one, based on argument. Unfortunately argument, even "common sense" arguments, are not the deciding factor in AfD debates...citations are. If this article's subject is indeed notable from an objective standpoint there should be no problem with finding and providing secondary sources to demonstrate that. If there are no such secondary sources, then this article's subject is not yet valid to be presented in Wikipedia's main namespace. -Markeer 14:04, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, the universities are going to love that Wikipedia editors don't consider Classical Archives (https://www.classicalarchives.com/midi.html) to be a "secondary source". MySonLikesTrump (talk) 14:48, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm uncertain if Classical Archives is an editorially curated website in terms of analysis of music or software, which would influence my opinion of it's validity as a source for notability. However, that's neither here nor there. My comment above was based on sources that meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Those guidelines specifically require multiple examples of non-trivial coverage in sourcing. Classical Archives would only be one source even if considered an appropriate secondary source (which, as it happens, I strongly question) and even then fails on the "non-trivial" front. The link to your tool at the bottom of a generic article on "What is a MIDI" is a minor afterthought, not the primary point of that article. So...no valid sources. -Markeer 17:50, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Wikipedia" rarely thinks anything, individual editors do (statement made in response to previous form of above comment). Indeed they can get to the same answer by different routes. Markeer doesn't feel it's a secondary source (or he didn't see it), I felt it was secondary, but didn't have sufficient coverage. In any case, as a piece of software it needs to meet WP:NPRODUCT which requires multiple suitable sources. For that matter, universities aren't really groupthinkers either, and I'm still unsure why we keep being threatened with their judgement. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:01, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - To answer Nosebagbear's question why the judgment of universities matter: When universities see that an article for the only online midi editor that exists (which is also the only midi editor that supports microtonality) is being intentionally omitted from an article described as "Comparison of MIDI editors and sequencers" (and an article described as "Microtonal music"), even though it has an endorsement from "the largest classical music site in the world", they will question Wikipedia's relevance and veracity.

When universities see that WP editors mark an article for deletion without even looking at the article (Markeer said "lack of evidenced notability, no secondary sources"), they will certainly not advise their colleagues and students to waste their time creating useful and relevant articles for Wikipedia, when their time will be at the mercy of editors whose mentality and purpose (to receive more WP accolades) has been demonstrated by the text within this discussion. MySonLikesTrump (talk) 15:48, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - I am a music professor at Vanderbilt University. I learned about the ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player from the Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers article. To be frank, most of the other programs on that list are worthless junk. As stated in their article, the ADSR_Online_Midi_Editor_and_Player is the only online midi editor. I have used it, it is fantastic, so I will be recommending it to all my students.

I would not have learned about this program had it not appeared in the Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers article.

Why would you omit an article for the only program that is endorsed by Classical_Archives? Why would a Wikipedia editor vote to remove it without even looking at the article?

I also noticed that this is the only midi editor mentioned in the Microtonal_music article. Why would you omit it?

I reviewed some of the articles that were created by the Wikipedia editors that voted to remove the article in question. The articles they created do not have references that are nearly as strong as Classical_Archives.

I have contacted several prominent microtonal composers, so they can also follow this debate. If you remove the article in question from Microtonal_music and Comparison_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers, your priorities are definitely in the wrong place. Stravinsky411 (talk) 15:44, 21 August 2019 (UTC)--Comment added by a WP:sockpuppet of User:MySonLikesTrump. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:13, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - I am a film composer. I am glad that I read about the ADSR Online Midi Editor in the Microtonal Music article, because I now use it every day. I am not the same person as Stravinsky411, we are in the library together this morning.

Their article fulfills all of Wikipedia's requirements for a new article (I read the rules).

What does not fulfill Wikipedia's requirements is the arrogant attitude that the Wikipedia editors have expressed towards the person who is defending their article. What type of pompous *** would begin a comment with Ahem.? The same person also said "You can't just barge in here without having even the slightest idea what we do". If the other editors want to do something constructive, they should file a complaint against that editor.

I have donated money to Wikipedia for the past five years. If this important article is omitted, not only will my donations stop, but I will also inform the other members of my film composers' group of this injustice, and of the disgusting attitude that the Wikipedia editors have demonstrated in this discussion. To mark an article for deletion without even reading the article is disgraceful.

  • Delete - all that stands between this article and ignominy are three advertisements thinly disguised as RSs. Searches reveal nothing better.

  • Comment - Stravinsky411 and IWonAnOscar, thank you for your support. Please let your colleagues know what goes on here. Did you know that your comments are "socking"? Velella's fancy icon must indicate that he has earned a lot of WP points for deleting articles without reading them. He referred to the endorsement at Classical_Archives as an advertisement, even though Classical_Archives has a strict policy of no advertisements. MySonLikesTrump (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm actually inclined to assume GF and it's not socking. It is however an issue of Votestacking since the notifications to other editors are clearly not neutrally phrased. Please stop assuming that a difference of opinion on the reliability of sources means they're acting in bad faith. Shame we don't get wikipedian points, I wonder what I could spend them on since you can make your own signature if you feel like. While "barge in here" could be phrased differently, the viewpoint is valid - the arguments raised clash with various fundamental policies like Reliable Sources and  Reasons for Deletion, anyone who hasn't read them is going to struggle because the closing Admin will just ignore non-justified arguments.
