Google searches do not support the article's claims to notability. Article was just created, but avoiding Prod route because of creator's insistence in the article text that subject is notable.Pink Bull 23:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete borderline speedyable; no sources support notability claims. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete: A7... there's hardly a credible assertion of notability here. This looks more like a talk page {{hangon}} rationale than an actual article. Regardless, being the editor of a magazine with an unsubstantiable claim of readership and a teacher does not show how the subject meets WP:GNG. Given the article creator's username, also probably a WP:COI; this article was also speedied twice before last year, its only contributor has ever been said author, and this article appears to be this author's only contributions. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:56, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conrad Mulcahy

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

This reporter fails WP:BIO / WP:AUTHOR. There are zero RSs discussing him in the article and I could find none other than trivial mentions. Having written or contributed reporting to several New York Times articles is not the same as having been covered in articles. He was mentioned in this New York Observer article, but not discussed in detail. According to the article, he was then "assistant to assistant managing editor." I proded the article, but the prod was removed, so here it is at AfD. Novaseminary (talk) 23:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lobaev sniper rifle

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

No mention on news.google for lobaev that is about the rifle. Suspect this isn't notable. Sandman888 (talk) 22:39, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. According to this forum post (which by no means is a WP:RS), apparently there's no such thing as a Lobayev rifle, per se, but that Mr. Lobayev designs a few custom rifles per year. My assumption is that the title of this article actually refers to all custom rifles designed by Mr. Lobayev, rather than a specific line of rifle. Ultimately this article (and the Russian Wikipedia article from which it was machine translated) appears to be some conglomeration of information about the the individual, the weapons he designs, and his company (Tsar Cannon). Of course, there are no WP:RS, and searching in Russian also yields nothing. Ultimately, does not appear to meet WP:GNG. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brandon Triche

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

The only thing IMHO that might make this person truly "notable" is when he was named the Gatorade New York Boys' Basketball Player of the Year. However, I counter that with saying there are 50 boys and 50 girls every single year that earn that distinction, but just winning that award alone does not make any of them inherently notable...and neither does the fact that he plays at a Division I institution. Most of the coverage is via Syracuse University press releases. Jrcla2 (talk) 22:10, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable Dreamspy (talk) 22:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Triche is the starting point guard at not just any institution, at Syracuse University, which was #1 for a short time in the polls last year. While he did not put up impressive averages, keep in mind that Coach Boeheim does not play freshmen a lot unless their name is Carmelo. If you are a starter at one of these big-name schools, that almost guarantees a professional contract in Europe if not the NBA. He was named to the all-Freshman team, joining the likes of John Wall and Avery Bradley. I think notability is a no-brainer. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 01:20, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At this time he doesn't meet even the very liberal standards of WP:SPORTS. If he does go on to play professionally, an article can be created about him at that time. --MelanieN (talk) 19:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- All indications are that he will play for pay somewhere. Also, he satisfies WP:Basketball by winning major awards. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 21:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:CRYSTAL (what if he blows out a knee cap or gets paralyzed in a car crash?); and what awards specifically make him inherently notable? Jrcla2 (talk) 22:02, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - His accomplishments make him inherently notable, but he was named to the Collegeinsider.com freshman all-america team. Look, let's keep this article as is and if he doesn't go pro in 4 years, then renom. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 22:55, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - His accomplishments do not make him inherently notable. Also, CollegeInsider.com is not recognized by the NCAA as an official award giver, which is why none of their plethora of awards is included in the annual NCAA men's basketball media guide. Just because www.iamawebsite.com names someone to a team award doesn't mean they're inherently notable. Also, there's way too much "let's just keep it anyway" mentality on WP. There's a reason there are standards for inclusionism, and Triche doesn't cut it. Jrcla2 (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Collegeinsider.com sponsors its own postseason tournament and is well known in the world of college sports. The core tenet of WP:N is for significant sourcing independent of the subject, and I could easily find that on Triche. And that, by the way, trumps any notability guideline out there. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 23:19, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per meeting WP:NF and per ongoing article improvements. This 1990 film has had international distribution under several different language titles and has been crtitically reviewed for years in multiple languages. Even as recently as a few days ago, the Manila Bulletin made note of this 21-year-old film and its similarity to a recent hostage situation in the Phillipnes.[1] What began as THIS unsourced stub is now a somehat better article. And yes, there's more available for further improvements. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a nice save that establishes notability in reliable sources, but what are those huge quotes in a foreign language doing there? Bigger digger (talk) 00:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks... and to answer your question... it's a neccessity per WP:RSUE: "Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be used in preference to non-English ones, except where no English source of equal quality can be found that contains the relevant material. When quoting a source in a different language, provide both the original-language quotation and an English translation, in the text or in a footnote." So I did.

The result was Merge to List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles. As the nominator has pointed out, most (but not all) of the fictional metals on here are on the other list, which simply describes the items without making judgments about whether they are "super metals"; Concerns about sourcing and OR apply to the other list as well, where it appears that the community is addressing them. What, if anything, should be merged (the participants disagree on whether there is anything "worth merging") can be discussed at the talk page there. Mandsford 02:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of fictional super metals

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

This list is redundant to List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles, and the term "super metal" is far too broad in scope to allow this to be a useful list. It's original research to claim that x is a "super metal" without a source indicating so, and the list has sourcing issues. Claritas § 09:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trim and merge per nom. No need to have two lists, no need to have unsourced information, but note that per WP:NNC, sourcing that meets WP:V, including primary sourcing, is sufficient to keep an individual list entry. Jclemens (talk) 17:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The primary sources don't actually say that item x is a "super metal" in most cases. It's a matter of interpretation which is essentially unverifiable. Claritas § 17:47, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per DGG, Jclemens, WP:OUTCOMES, and WP:CHEAP. DGG's and Jclemens' comments seem common sense to me. Many lists have been deleted or merged in the past; the ones that are merged tend to be sub-lists or more obscure. Deleting such a list will eliminate its history and sourcing, but merger would save those. Bearian (talk) 20:02, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The news media did pick it up, but it was also published in a scientific journal, and to be fair the news media we are discussing here are primarily science news media, some more popular than others. The combination of publication of the paper in a reputable journal and mass media coverage within the public-interested niche press seems to give the concept legs as both something that has captured the public's imagination AND a scientifically sound concept of interest to academics. Beyond this, in exploring the article laser I have found that the formatting of that article is based upon content forks to smaller articles. Even if the information regarding anti-lasers was suggested as a merge to laser the MOS for that article seems to dictate that anti-lasers would end up a stub content fork anyway.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 00:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article does not harm WP or anyone else. I just think that when nothing definate is known about a topic it's hard to have an encyclopedia article on it. WP:Wikipedia is not a crystal ball could also be invoked. Anyway if people want to know about it all they have to do is google "anti-laser." Kitfoxxe (talk) 20:53, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your same argument could hold true for Tachyon particles or any other theoretical physics item. An anti-laser isn't really a "device" it's a concept and having been published in a reputable scientific journal it's a concept that has some weight in the scientific community. WP:Crystal says "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred." I feel this doesn't apply because the reliable sources confirm that a device based on the principals of an anti-laser is being actively developed at Yale University. It's not speculation, it is confirmed with sources. This, however, is still only a piece of the article's subject matter. Crystal goes on to discourage debunking of accepted scientific information with speculation that it may be incorrect. As of this writing the principal is circulating the scientific community and the article takes care to note the theoretical nature of the concept. I agree that anyone who wants to know about anti-lasers can google it, but is that not counter-productive to the project? If it's a notable enough concept to have such an array of reliable third party sources that anyone could easily google for their information why should wikipedia refuse to publish on it. I don't want to go into WP:Other stuff exists territory, but there are a number of articles here on theoretical science with not nearly the amount of reliable coverage. Once again, if the article was only something picked up by pop science magazine I'd be skeptical. If anti-lasers had only been proposed in a scientific journal with no outside exposure, I'd be skeptical. If this was only a proposed university project I'd be skeptical. The problem I have with this AfD is that we have all three of these working in unison to make for a fairly tight notability standard.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 22:32, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not yet shown to be notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:12, 30 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]

You must have meant "Not yet shown to be workable" or "...practicable" or "...useful". A simple look at the sources or a quick Google of the term will proves beyond reasonable doubt that this statement "Not yet proven to be notable" is false, because if it weren't notable, why has it been so widely noted? As is the statement "not of serious interest to notable experts in the field" thus shown to be false. The anti-laser is notable, because it's been given so much attention by notable people in academica and in the notable science media. People who are in a position to know what they are talking about think that it's notable. So please agree that it is in fact notable (thereby changing your "delete" to a "keep", give some explaination why you continue to hold that it is not notable, or give some other reason why it should be deleted. If not, this "Deletion Support" should be given no weight. Chrisrus (talk) 15:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is a review of Lehrer's book in the journal Studia dipterologica, by a published authority on blowflies, Knut Rognes, which specifically addresses Lehrer's treatment of this species. Lehrer's claim is that this species is "nomina dubia, because based on female types", while the reviewer says that "However, there is no scientific principles in zoological taxonomy that restricts or bans the use of names based on female types." and "Neither can LEHRER invoke the nomen oblitum clauses for these names (ICZN 23.9) as they have all been used since 1899." I think an expert opinion would be helpful. You can read the review here,[5] on page 458 under the title "Names deliberately ignored as nomina dubia, because based on female types". It must at least be worthy of an article explaining that it's a disputed species, and is probably notable if Rognes and Lehrer are going back and forth about it.

Keep: Just google the man, there's over 2 million results on him, or youtube him he has millions of plays. He is a representative of a specific rap style noone has ever done in Kosovo. His songs and albums have been topping the charts in Kosovo and Albania for a few years now. His last event in Frauenfeld Switzerland had close to 5000 people present (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwmzOCcrsso) hear them chant "Unikkatil", thats huge for someone who's not even an international star. Do your research before questioning his notability please, allthough the article is pretty bad i will also try to help on improving it. He is easily one of the most powerful musicians in Kosovo and has a huge following. His name at least deserves to stand if not the article. JoeTBA (talk) 11:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I went through the first three pages on Google and did not find any reliable sources that establish his notability. He certainly has an online presence but that's not enough by itself to establish notability. Heck, I'll even grant that he is notable in general (i.e., not in the Wikipedia sense) but that's not even the point. We have to find reliable sources that talk about him otherwise the entire thing is original research. As the article stands now everything except the first line should be deleted since none of it is sourced. This is Wikpedia policy especially when it comes to biographies of living people. SQGibbon (talk) 21:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

article totally devoid of independent third party sources about a music festival of dubious notability Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 15:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Village Voice reference in the article does say "Evolving from the decade-old U.K. event, ATP is a festival like no other". But I agree the article probably needs more to confirm notability. It is a firm part of the musical ground, though; take for example this from The Guardian recently: "live performances of famous albums, an idea first popularised by All Tomorrow's Parties, have become exceedingly trendy". And it is first on The Observer's recent 10 best music festivals list. And these are from 5 mins looking. AllyD (talk) 16:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That wikipedia article and list of ATP bands is actually hugely important. Music fans use it to learn about bands that are endorsed by their peers, as performers must be invited to play the festival by other established acts. There is nowhere else you can get a list of past and future ATP performers that’s as concise and convenient as the list on this site. This article shouldn't be hard to reference.

Keep. Not a very good article, but this product has been on the market for almost eighty years and seems notable for that reason alone. Figureofnine (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question, is the length of time a product has been on the market a criterion for notability? --Nuujinn (talk) 23:04, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think eighty year's longevity is so rare that yes, it is a notable product. It may not be in the notability criteria, but it is common sense in my opinion. However, I cannot vouch for that longevity claim, as I have no personal familiarity with this product, and am just accepting that assertion on good faith. Figureofnine (talk) 23:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No offense, but we really need reliable sources to back up any claims including the longevity of the product, and I do think it's important that longevity of production is not a criterion as far as I know for notability. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick Google News search and found lots of old stuff, including this from 1951: http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50A1EFF39591A7B93C0AB178ED85F458585F9 And then there's this: http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0714FB3B5F177A93C2AA178ED85F448585F9 In addition to these subscription articles, there are plenty of free sources in the Google News archive. Seems that an article on this product may not be exactly promotional. I've added a section based on the second link. This was a Supreme Court case. Really no doubt about this product's notability. Figureofnine (talk) 15:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of notable third-party sources seems to be the primary issue identified by editors, myself included. Since Nutrilite is not an independent company, but a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amway, Nutrilite is currently more of a brand for Amway corp. As a brand, the question of notability seems even more important. Maintaining separate articles for widely-known brands (such as Honda's Acura or Toyota's Lexus) seems appropriate. Including articles for lesser-known brands (such as Malt-O-Meal's Mom's Best Naturals or Hansen Natural's Ace Energy Drink) seems questionable when a strong case for independent notability is not established. While the longevity of the product-line adds weight to the notability argument, there is still a question as to whether the relevant material might work better merged into Amway's primary articles. --Xaliqen (talk) 00:47, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is suitable coverage to establish notability. Its history of exaggerated claims in the 1950s is more than enough for establishing notability.[15] Its position in the early phase of multi-level marketing is of note.[16] It has a checkered history not reflected in the article; the discussion page has an good outline for expansion.

Falcon X

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

This article (and its sister article Falcon XX) were added to Wikipedia in the immediate aftermath of a space propulsion conference last month (August) where a SpaceX employee gave a powerpoint presentation with various conceptual ideas for future heavy-launch system configurations, based on a conceptual new engine. Internet buzz and formal media, including the mainstream space media, picked up the story and ran with it. Per the Talk page, the CEO of SpaceX quickly emphasized that "the SpaceX heavy lift slides shown at the recent propulsion conference are just rough concepts and not part of any grand long term plan." Even Aviation Week published a story with the claims corrected: Musk Clarifies SpaceX Position on Exploration showing that Musk and SpaceX currently have no formal plans for either a Falcon X or Falcon XX, and that both rockets are mere concepts.

I don't believe Wikipedia should have an article on what is now a purely speculative future heavy-lift rocket. Perhaps a section within the SpaceX main article is more appropriate. N2e (talk) 02:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I originally speedy tagged this as spam but an admin removed the tag (the original editor didn't weigh in with a "hangon" template as is normal - an external admin decided to create more work here by proactively removing the speedy tag). Anyway, absolutely no attempt to establish notability. Article is a single line saying "hey, we exist." Original posting didn't even spell "dosmetic" correctly. In my opinion, if the original editor was going to expand this, the "hangon" tag would have been fine. But admin action means we all have to go the extra mile and do an AfD on this. Quartermaster (talk) 01:25, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~ As the admin said, this page is not unambiguously promotional. Research shows that this firm is notable enough with quite a large amount of sources available. But boy does this need a rewrite if this article is to stay. Fattyjwoods ^{Push my button} 02:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem understanding keeping this on procedural grounds. I've had occasions where a speedy tag or an AfD has nudged an editor (or other editors) into expending some effort to save an article (which I think is the point of doing both of those things). I've expended effort on my own to save articles. However, in lieu of no improvement, I'd rather see these sort of things nipped in the bud. I think lots of editors let procedure get in the way of doing the obvious. I don't lose sleep over these things surviving, but the cumulative effect over many years is lots of dross in the wikipedia-sphere. Also, in my opinion, a single line article proclaiming the existence of ~~an article~~ a company is unambiguously promotional. In lieu of any justification, what else can it be? It's a Billboard. A sign on the side of the highway. Living in Missouri I'm probably over-sensitized to highway sign noise. --Quartermaster (talk) 03:43, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an assistant professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University. In 1987 he received an Student Academy Award for his student film Bird in a Cage which I have also nominated for Afd. Most of the films listed on the award's wiki article do not have separate articles. Zarro's page is referenced by a Regent University self-edited page and to his faculty page. Most of this page's text is cut and pasted -- an obvious WP:COPYVIO but is full of promotional, unconfirmable claims (before I removed them from the original): 300 films, shown in Hollywood, Cannes, HBO, etc. His short IMDB page] supports none of this -- only his student film, a couple of bit parts and a possible future short.

Yes, but the vulture examples are more based on taxonomy, not geographic distribution. The fact that there are 4 kestrel species is not taxonomically significant.

Expand and keep or merge if another name exists. This is not an advert from what I can tell. It seems to be a fundamental concept to prevent the tragedy of the commons. Perhaps the article should be merged and redirected to there if it is unable to stand alone, but it seems possible to expand. Indeed, this article describes the type of management of Wikipedia itself, which is managed by the Wikipedia community. The only thing is that it is written in a way that is too narrow since communities are no longer local with the internet.

CineMAA Award for Best Film

Prod removed without rationale; original rationale was that there is no evidence that this article has notability independent of the parent subject, CineMAA Awards. A reference has been added since the prod was removed, but that reference still does not establish this individual award's independent notability. Bundle nomination to follow shortly. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related articles for deletion, all for the same reason:[reply]

Mythological conundrum

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

Appears to be a fairly weak attempt at WP:SYNTHESIS. I don't see any evidence (from searching) that this is a real topic; the foundation seems to be just a single chapter from the 200-page 1915 "handbook of conundrums" [18].

Weak keep: From what I see in Google and Google Books, it does appear to be a real topic with the phrase turning up as early as the 1850s. That said, the article as it stands is little more than a dictionary definition and a handful of semi-random examples. However, that's a matter for cleanup, not deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 18:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I don't see it. I think this just a two-word combination that occurs occasionally, not really a concept. If you see real uses that are good examples, please provide a quote. Besides which, IMO the current version is such a poor basis for an article on this topic (if it is a real topic), that it's better to delete it. Rd232 ^talk 19:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Pyramid of Puñay

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

If this pyramid exists, and I have no reason to think that it does (I have done a search), it is clearly not notable. The article itself is clearly promoting and sourced from a tour company offering eco tours [19] - Ecuardor Eco Adventure, and the article was created by Ecuadorecoadvice (talk · contribs) -- Ecuador Eco Advice.

Delete The article appears to be making some fairly extraordinary claims regarding South American archaeology and because of that, in order for this article to be acceptable we'd have to see some kind of solid reliably sourced backing from mainstream scientific literature to substantiate the somewhat amazing claims being made here. Even if further study substantiates what's being contended; all we can deal with here is the article in its present state; not the idealized way it may look one day when/if supporting evidence eventually appears in a reliable source. Supporting references using information found on a tourism site is not sufficient in this context in my opinion. Deconstructhis (talk) 20:07, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but it needs severe de-editorialising: ministers in the Government there seem to take it seriously, and Hoy is a (reasonably) reliable newspaper quoting studies from a credible centre of studies (but not a university). But the article must be able to justify its existence without such heavy reliance on a vested interest. I can however see a potential problem: will we get the sources that give rise to the travel company's claims, or the press releases of the travel company relayed through "Reliable Sources"? I would also suggest a less commercialised title for the article: the feature is not so well known as to have such a stylised sobriquet, so move the article, dropping the "Lost" bit. Kevin McE (talk) 08:56, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The government interest (which seems tourism driven, but why not) is I presume this [20] which mentions a temple but no pyramid. The centre of studies is a tourism centre, and the main person involved, a lecturer there, seems to be also Regional Director of Tourism. There's no evidence for any involvement by archaeologists. The claim is extraordinary, and needs some very good sources. And no archaeologist would ever dream of saying something was 4657 years old, C14 dating is no where near that exact and an archaeologist claiming such a date would lose credibility. Hoy is just quoting claims, and that isn't enough for an article like this. Dougweller (talk) 10:27, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very Weak Keep Seems to meet the bare req. for notability, even if it is an overhyped site; badly needs re-write. Archaeologists do publish uncalibrated radiocarbon dates such as "4657 BP", so this does not alarm me (although it is normal practice to give standard deviation and calibration, see sec. 3.3.5 of the SAA style guide for more info: http://www.saa.org/StyleGuideText/tabid/985/Default.aspx.)Bill Whittaker (talk) 18:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment -- three options, per my comments at the article's talk page here. 1)delete as article about the pyramid, since the status/existence of the pyramid is not at all confirmed and apart from the small group @ ESPOCH who are its claimed finders, there appears to be no-one else claiming it. 2)rewrite to be an article on the mountain itself, with the pyramid material relegated to a section on the claims. 3)merge claims into article about the municipality and/or towns, Chunchi. This would require a rewrite also. --cjllw ʘ TALK 16:21, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. The dissertation used as a source is called ""Plan estrategico para el desarrollo turistico del canton chunchi" ("Strategic Plan for Tourism Development of the canton Chunchi") and was, according to this, part of an engineering degree in Ecotourism. I see no evidence that this was for a higher degree, certainly not a PhD. This 2007 article [21] published by the Ministry of Tourism mentions "The majesty of Mt Puñay and Andean temple, " (a temple-shaped ceremonial macaw which I presume means temple shaped like a Macaw) and a " Declaration of Cerro Puñay as Spiritual Heritage of Humanity," "What is certain is that Puñay is a mountain that at the time of the Canaris was a ceremonial center and a privileged site for astronomical observations.". And something about the Advent of the New Age. But no suggestions that this has been seriously studied, no verification for a temple, etc. Something in Chunchi is probably the best thing to do, unless it is possible to find more on the mountain - but I've looked and came up blank with very little. Oh, the Rough Guide to Ecuador says " ruins of Punay, laid out in the shape of a macaw and said to have strange magnetic properties". And anything in Chunchi should make it clear that this is a tourist related claim with no academic backing. Dougweller (talk) 18:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
