I believe that the article Rania Khan does not meet the Wikipedia:Notability criteria to justify a separate entry. I believe this article fails on a number of grounds. The creator of the article is User:Tanbircdq who has only ever made one entry - this one. I believe this is an example of sock puppetry and the actual author is the subject of the article. Either that, or the creator is a close associate of the subject. Therefore, this article is a prima facie example of self promotion. Furthermore, most of the sources cited in the article are minor references in political websites or articles where she receives a mention in trivial media. There are also one or two pieces she has written herself. Again this fails the notability criteria. A person independent of this topic would not consider her notable enough - or if she was - then every local councillor or occasional journalist deserves their own page. This article also fails for not providing Neutral sources as self-published sources cannot be assumed neutral and the piece is entirely uncritical.

Comment Do not accuse someone of sock puppetry or conflict of interest without some evidence. Additionally, the admin noticeboard is a more appropriate ___location for complaints about other users. NJ Wine (talk) 02:04, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise for the sock puppetry comment. It was misplaced. But regarding the other points, there are tens of thousands of local politicians representing wards across the UK, does that mean they all get a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aetheling1125 (talk • contribs)
I understand your perspective, because there was a certain amount of crap in the article that I removed. Normally, local politicians do not get Wiki articles, but based on the standard I list below, she is notable based on the amount of press coverage she has received. It is not our job to determine if it's fair that she should have received all this press coverage, but simply whether she meets Wikipedia's notability of people standard or not. NJ Wine (talk) 02:04, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Ms. Khan appears to be an elected politician whose opinions have given her a decent amount of media coverage. WP:POLITICIAN lists several grounds for notability including: Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. She meets this standard, and thus is notable.

  • Very weak keep. Borough councillor and borough cabinet member are not positions at the level granted automatic notability by WP:POLITICIAN, so we should look to WP:GNG instead. Most of the references do not provide the independence and in-depth coverage required by GNG, but there are two exceptions: the East London Advertiser story on her award nomination and the British Bangladeshi Who's Who profile. That may be (barely) enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete probably A7 as the article doesn't really claim any notability, fails WP:BIO. Secret account 06:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agreeing with most of the above, there's an additional item to note. The sources for the article don't actually discuss the subject of the article (Goldman) but other companies he's been involved in. Therefore, it does seem to fit under A7 fairly well; yet my concerns are heightened at the lack of reliable sources. -- Lord Roem (talk) 23:02, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The person who placed the deletion tag seems to have a biased view of the author, he must remember that his personal view does not count here. He is stressing that it is an unimportant article of an unimportant person. For him he maybe unimportant but there maybe a lot of people who came to know about the author via wikipedia.

  • Keep - References are external,article needs citations, but This does not necessarily means that the person is not notable or influential. The personality is very famous in Hyderabad (India). Most of the resources are in Urdu (hard copies) and not electronically available at the moment but there has been efforts to do that, hence the article may lack precise citations. I am sure all the references will be available soon and henceforth citations will be made precisely. I urge wikipedia not to delete this page.Shafi Chishti (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2012 (CEST)
  • Keep - Abdul Qadeer Siddqi is the most famous person in India, he is known as the ocean of knowledge and he he is the professor of arabic in osmania university. I urge Wikipedia not to delete this page.Azamuddin Mohammed (talk) 16:10, 3 June 2012 (AST)
While I'm inclined to agree that he is notable (and the article worth keeping), saying that he is the most famous person in India is pushing it a bit, don't you think? Put it another way, if he were indeed the most famous person in India we wouldn't be having this debate. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 12:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - A lot of non-English references are available which have not been produced online but this does not mean that the personality is not famous or is 'unimportant' (as quoted by the person placing the deletion tag).

May fail WP:CORP. In looking at coverage of this now-defunct company, it's a tough call as to whether there is enough significant coverage of the company in light of WP:CORPDEPTH. There is definitely significant coverage of its demise, but that one event should not make it notable in and of itself. Pre-demise, it also had coverage, but it's not clear if the coverage is significant enough or in-depth enough to satisfy the guidelines. What tipped it for me is it appears to be more of an attack article than anything else, but this AfD is to permit others to decide whether it's sufficiently notable to be kept. A speedy delete was declined (rightly so). It has had a notability tag for a while, and if the article is to be kept, it should then be removed. Bbb23 (talk) 23:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The article asserts that the younster has appeared in several plays, not just "one", with her role in Lion King simply being her Broadway debut,[1][2][3] and one that has caught media attention: [4] That clarifcation made, she has not yet reached a level of notability suitable for inclusion in Wikiedia. Perhaps in a few years. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy delete under CSD#G4 by Dlohcierekim on the basis of no substantial improvement. I've looked at the different versions of this and don't see any new indication of notability. Subject continues to not meet the relevant criteria. The TV appearances do not rise to a level of coverage sufficient to establish her notability.

Repost of previously deleted article. Article failed 2 prior AfDs. Should be Speedy Deleted, but CSD removed without a valid reason. Fails to meet any of the four WP:PORNBIO criteria, as she has not won a well-known award; has not received nominations for well-known awards in multiple years; has not made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre; and has not been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media. No indication that she would meet WP:CREATIVE for her directorship work either. ttonyb (talk) 20:56, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete. No significant difference from the article deleted by consensus in January, and no reason provided to reject the consensus at that time. For the record, the initial AFD, based on the very weak PORNBIO standards in effect in 2007, was closed as no consensus. As the nominator accurately notes, the subject fails WP:PORNBIO and lacks the substantial coverage required by the GNG -- virtually all GNews hits are spurious, the only exception is a passing mention in a profile of her then-partner; GBooks hits are similarly trivial, the subject mentioned only in a small number of laundry lists of pornstar castings.

  • PROD contested in February with reason “Gergen will pass his 100th professional game after this weekend, a requirement in note 3 of WPHOCKEY.” Season is now complete and player is still 34 games shy of 100 with no certainty that he will be back to play next season. Player is non-notable and does not pass WP:NHOCKEY. Scottdrink (talk) 20:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure which statistics you are using, but Gergen has played 107 professional games as of the completion of the 2010-11 season (45 with EC Salzburg of the EBHL in 2009-10, 62 games with Bakersfield and Utah Grizzlies in 2010-11). His total games played goes to 112 if you include the games played with EC Salzburg II in the Austrian National League, a second-tier professional league (similar to how the AHL is associated with the NHL in North America). Use this link as reference: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=18014. Player is notable and passes WP:NHOCKEY by way of Rule 3: "Played at least 100 games in fully professional minor leagues such as the American Hockey League, the International Hockey League, the ECHL, the Mestis, the HockeyAllsvenskan or other such league" Jasonstru (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the Austrian National League Erste Bank Eishockey Liga is the highest level of Hockey in Austria which the elite prospects link shows that he played in. That makes him notable under WP:NHOCKEY criteria 1. If you want to debate if the EBEL does not satisfy criteria #1, then those games would still count toward criteria #3 as pointed out by Jasonstru above. Either way, the subject passes WP:NHOCKEY. -Pparazorback (talk) 02:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested in February with reason “Player is 10 games shy of WP:NHOCKEY criteria #3, including ECHL playoff games. Should make 100 games this year, though player was placed on 21-day IR last week.” Season is now complete and player is still 9 games shy of 100 with no certainty that he will be back to play next season. Player is non-notable and does not pass WP:NHOCKEY. Scottdrink (talk) 20:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: He's 24 years old, already took a year off due to injuries and was a sporadic player in the mid-minors last season, again due to injuries. This is exactly the point where many a player with no hope of making the bigs packs it in. No prejudice against recreation should he play next season, of course, but no reason to keep this article.  Ravenswing  11:38, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a BLP about a woman of unusual ethnicity, and no other claim to notability that I can see. The reliable sources on her have not focused on any achievements (she doesn't have any), but rather the fact that she might be the last of the Cochin Jews, because of an apparent disinterest in reproduction. The article currently focuses on this disinterest, and cannot do otherwise, as that's the only reason she's mentioned in notable media. I believe this situation violates the spirit of BLP, and I do not blieve the problem is reparable. I think her name should be redirected to Cochin Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sad Lil Artsy Guy (talk • contribs) 19:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep due to this lady having been covered directly and in detail in multiple reliable sources (as in, WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS). I have researched the topic in print and online, and am confident that more or less every scrap of relevant material has been used and is cited in the article. The article does indeed centre on her position as the youngest female Cochini Jew and her marital status, and that reflects the references I've found. The nominator seems to think that the sources listed do not constitute direct significant coverage of her as a person; to put it quite simply, they do and I am happy to provide copies of any of the offline ones on request. I'm assuming that they haven't read The Last Jews of Kerala, the most extensive source, because otherwise they wouldn't have made such an absurd claim. (Also, if the nominator is seeking a redirect, then this is the wrong venue anyway. And the nominator seems to be suspiciously new. And the nominator didn't sign their nomination. But otherwise good.) ╟─TreasuryTag►secretariat─╢ 18:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Suspicious of what? Thanks for correcting the lack of signature. No, I have not read The Last Jews of Kerala. Does it document Ms. Hallegua's achievements? In any case, I'm happy to switch venues if that's more appropriate. Sad Lil Artsy Guy (talk) 18:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I have not read The Last Jews of Kerala. In that case, what, pray, qualifies you to state that the references listed in the article are inadequate? ╟─TreasuryTag►secretariat─╢ 18:19, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    And the nominator seems to be suspiciously new. -- The nominator is not me, in contrast what you are clearly insinuating. Stop the personal attacks on people who don't share your very particular set of opinions, or we will be forced to change the venue alright. --195.14.197.197 (talk) 19:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nominator seems to think that the sources listed do not constitute direct significant coverage of her as a person; to put it quite simply, they do -- Yeah, well, you know, that's just... like, your opinion, man, and I for one respectfully but decidedly disagree. Should the material be outright deleted? No. Is Yaheh Hallegua herself notable, independent of the social, ethnic and cultural situation and the accompanying media coverage and controversy surrounding her status as the last woman of childbearing age of her ethnicity? No, absolutely not. Move the article to something more appropriately named and refocus it to discuss not primarily (by herself completely non-notable) Yaheh Hallegua, but the entire (notable) situation. --195.14.197.197 (talk) 19:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Just to confirm – you've read The Last Jews of Kerala have you? Because that's the only way you could assess whether or not it contains significant coverage of Ms Hallegua. Is Yaheh Hallegua herself notable, independent of the social, ethnic and cultural situation and the accompanying media coverage and controversy surrounding her status? No. You could say that about anyone. Is Barack Obama notable other than having been elected Senator and then President? Is Charles Dickens notable other than having been a massively popular writer? The threshold we have here on Wikipedia is about whether or not a person has received significant coverage, not whether they have some innate biological trait which makes them interesting. ╟─TreasuryTag►Not-content─╢ 19:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    that's the only way you could assess whether or not it contains significant coverage of Ms Hallegua -- Complete and utter nonsense. The question to ask is whether or not she is notable independent of the social, ethnic and cultural situation and the accompanying media coverage and controversy surrounding her status as the last woman of childbearing age of her ethnicity. The answer to that is: no. Period. Anyway, your personal attacks and assumption of bad faith make it impossible to discuss with you, even apart from your absent sense of decent self-doubt, and apart from your apparent unwillingness to even enter an actual discussion and acknowledge other people's viewpoints and arguments. --195.14.197.197 (talk) 19:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Nobody is notable outside of their socialcultural environment. Without our social and cultural relevance, we are simply masses of cells. I'm slightly stunned that you've invented such a novel argument that I'm reduced to bringing metaphysics into a deletion discussion. I am asserting that Ms Hallegua has received significant coverage, directly and in detail, in multiple reliable sources. And that is the required standard.
    I'm not sure what "personal attacks" you're referring to so I'll just have to ignore that bit. ╟─TreasuryTag►secretariat─╢ 19:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Nobody is notable outside of their socialcultural environment. -- The social, ethnic and cultural situation and the accompanying media coverage and controversy surrounding her is notable. She (by virtue of anything she did) is not. I really cannot help you if you're actually incapable of understanding that much.
    The personal attack I am referring to is that you are trying to undermine the nominator's position by insinuating that he is likely a sockpuppet. It is the textbook definition of an argumentum ad hominem. Playing dumb will not get you out of this. Just stop the personal attacks. Or keep them up. It's up to you. But they are personal attacks. --195.14.197.197 (talk) 19:28, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know how else I can explain this. Wikipedia policy does not require people to be notable "independent of the social, ethnic and cultural situation." The bar is set lower than that. I've already linked you to the page, so I don't understand why you are insisting that Ms Hallegua must meet your elevated standard. ╟─TreasuryTag►person of reasonable firmness─╢ 19:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    You don't have anything to explain, just things to understand. Your "article" is a Wikipedia:Coatrack, and it should be moved to a title which reflects the actual article subject, which is not Yaheh Hallegua, but the situation and controversy surrounding her. Unless and until you finally give up your aggressive resistance to these facts, it's useless trying to argue with you. --84.44.228.173 (talk) 09:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The subject is (at least presumptively) the last of the Paradesi Jews, and is referred to in literature in that regard; her situation is fairly well documented in reliable sources and the article appropriately cites them. As comparison, although more extreme, we have articles for people who are the last known speakers of languages, and others who are the last survivors of their ethnic group or culture, such as the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island and Ishi, and probably could have articles for others, such as the "Tanaru Isolated Indian" (there's certainly enough coverage). However, I agree with the concerns raised on talk about the tone of the article and its use of quoted passages. There is no need to cast the subject, her personality, or her decisions in a negative light even if sourced statements allow us to do that. Still, that's an editorial correction and not a matter of deletion. Serpent's Choice (talk) 19:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • To what purpose is it necessary to mention that she is "periodically shrilling instructions to cover their bare shoulders, or brusquely turning away those who disrespectfully wore above-the-knee skirts or shorts." She has been identified as being "notoriously frosty with visitors." The use of these quotes seems irresponsible as it seems to give these opinions the credence of wikipedia itself. If you want to mention that she is the last Cochin Jew then fine, but these personal attacks on her person (even if they were found in some book) seem unnecessary, she is after all a private citizen and it seems highly unfair to her to have these nasty comments about her reproductive choices kept on Wikipedia which claims to be a storehouse of knowledge. Similarly the comment about her dog being her only known hobby, seems like it does not at all have to be on Wikipedia, rather it seems like something one might read in a tabloid. If this article is going to stay it needs to be rewritten to respect this individual as a private citizen. Ahassan05 (talk) 05:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)ahassan05[reply]

  • Keep - Those references within the article are more than enough to satisfy general notability. They are from national media and news sources that have a strong history of fact checking, and cover both the subject in reasonable depth as well as supporting the statements within the article. Lord Arador (talk) 06:21, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Heck, I read an article on her myself last year. Frankly, a great deal of the blather above constitutes content dispute, which is properly dealt with in the article. Beyond that, the nom's completely offbase. It is no part of Wikipedia policy or notability guidelines to speculate on - or make value judgments concerning - the reasons someone is famous, and it is a curious fallacy that BLP mandates we never say anything about a subject that anyone might consider disparaging or embarrassing. Rather, we can say nothing that is not impeccably sourced. The subject meets the GNG going away, and the further assertion that the GNG somehow doesn't count because her notoriety is inseparable from her group? Yeah, and Bobby Orr's notoriety stems solely from having been a pretty decent hockey player. So what?  Ravenswing  11:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it's a curious fallacy that BLP mandates we never say anything about a subject that anyone might consider disparaging or embarrassing. It's also a complete straw man. This is, currently, a biographical article about a woman's refusal to marry. Serpent's Choice believes the situation can be improved, and I'm happy to work with him on that -- I don't think the article is fixable, but I'm happy to discuss the possibility that I'm wrong with those who are willing to honestly approach the problem.

  • Strong Delete This is an article about a 38 year old woman who's notability is that she doesn't want to marry one of her cousins?!!! Reliable sources are cited in an article to support a claim of notability. They do not create notability. As an example, if a man is mentioned numerous times in RS that he walks his dog every morning and eats raisin bran, this would not justify a WP article about him. At most, his name could be cited in the dog walking article or the raisin bran article. This article is confusing notability with sources. Joe407 (talk) 03:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, we're not confusing sources with notability. You are confusing trivial coverage with significant coverage. Wikipedia policy requires that a person has received significant coverage, and this lady has. Your comment does nothing to demonstrate otherwise. ╟─TreasuryTag►collectorate─╢ 07:47, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    You're apparently not reading or not comprehending my comments. Consider that I agree that (most of) the material should be kept, but it is very clearly at the wrong place, and the page Yaheh Hallegua should be moved and redirected. There is also precedent for this, even when deceased individuals are concerned (cf. Death of Ian Tomlinson (a featured article, no less)). --84.44.228.173 (talk) 10:10, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Or, oddly enough, he's not agreeing with you. It's quite uncivil to presume that the only reasons anyone might have for disagreeing with you are laziness or stupidity.  Ravenswing  16:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I see plenty of coverage in RS. For me the only question is whether such coverage is trivial or non-trivial. TT, which of the sources you present discuss her in depth? --Dweller (talk) 10:22, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The Last Jews of Kerala is definitely the most comprehensive, devoting ~5 (non-consecutive) pages to Ms Hallegua, her background, her job, her world-view, her pet – and also her fashion and her make-up, though I didn't include this in the article! The Rough Guide gave her a half-page 'infobox' which, again, covered her and her job in some detail. I appreciate that my designating the two printed sources as being most significant puts you in a rather difficult position, but I understand that Serpent's Choice (talk · contribs) has read the Fernandes book, so could no doubt verify its usefulness here. ╟─TreasuryTag►sheriff─╢ 10:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. Nobody wanted the article kept, and the extension is now listed in List of file formats anyway, so the only question was whether to redirect. Although there was a suggestion that this should be done, the reason given was (words to the effect) "no evidence of non-notability", but there is no such thing as evidence of non-notability: we need positive evidence of notability.

  • Uncertain. If there was any sort of coverage of the events, a band touring in both the Netherlands and France would seem to meet WP:BAND#2. This source mentions the band, although largely in context with successor group Atlal. I am unable to judge its reliability. 1970s European newspapers aren't very comprehensively represented online at this time. An editor with some familiarity with Dutch or French media from that period may be better able to source this than I. Serpent's Choice (talk) 17:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for searching. I also searched to no avail to find RS support for the article claims that the band Tiq Maya was "probably the most successful Moroccan music group in Europe", etc. Usually, that sort of fame is reflected in RSs in my experience. Hopefully, as you suggest, others can find more.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Also unable to find any reliable sources to establish or back up the statements and claims made in the article that give the article subject its notability. As mentioned above, its hard to tell if the one source from MokumTV is reliable (it appears to be a local public broadcaster of some sort). Regardless, if the article subject were truly notable and worthy of inclusion there would be "significant coverage" and right now I just can't find this type of coverage.

Software article sourced to primary sources, which are academic papers by its author in this case. I'm somewhat familiar with the area, and I say confidently it has less independent coverage than ChucK. The inclusion of that article in Wikipedia was controversial, so this one should be discussed as well. FuFoFuEd (talk) 14:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep A Google Scholar search reveals several third party souces: papers published in peer reviewed journals or presented at CS conferences, and a book chapter (not self-published). The article needs to be better sourced though. I'll update it soon.

    • Nobody is doubting that Impromptu is getting some academic citations. It just gets less than ChucK. Google Scholar gives 80 citations for ChucK's first paper and 27 for Impromptu. Most of these do not satisfy the WP:GNG standard. I picked at random one of the papers you have added [6]. The coverage of Impromptu there is in one sentence, which says: "In order to bring together these diverging issues, the SuperCollider application (SC) has been chosen among other possible candidates (e.g. Chuck[3], Impromptu [9]), as it features a high-level, object-oriented, interactive language together with a real-time, effcient audio server." Not very compelling coverage. FuFoFuEd (talk) 16:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Actually a lot of the scholar hits are secondary, A Brown referencing Sorensen, but some are good as also a couple from the article. There also these two [7] [8] - frankie (talk) 00:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The coverage of Impromptu in those two books is one sentence or one line in a table. ChucK had more in-depth independent coverage, but many Wikipedia editors still found unconvincing. My essay arguing that a source like Nick Collins' table putting ChucK (or Impromptu) alongside other similar languages is proof of notability was deleted by other Wikipedians as an invalid argument in Wikipedia. FuFoFuEd (talk) 04:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Including those two discrete references to the subject by an specialized publication, my general assessment is that the subject does meet notability. The paper by Collins is behind a paywall and I haven't been able to get a snippet from Google, so I cannot comment on it - frankie (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a well developed language, with active user base, many novel features, and many references in the literature.

  • "An editor who believes a page obviously and uncontroversially doesn't belong in an encyclopedia can propose its deletion."

        • Because I'm fairly sure there aren't any satisfying WP:GNG. One sentence mentions/references do not seem to count here for notability purposes. FuFoFuEd (talk) 09:45, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • A huge raft of mentions across the computer music literature surely does count as notability. Furthermore the paper I just added from the forthcoming ICMC deals with impromptu in depth. In any case I'm very surprised that someone clearly so involved with computer music languages would see impromptu as anything other than notable; it clearly is, no matter how tedious proving it turns out to be. Yaxu (talk) 16:32, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • So, how do you know the contents of a paper that hasn't been published yet and of which no preprint seems to be available? I assume you refer to Thor Magnusson, "Confessions of a Live Coder", Proceedings of International Computer Music Conference, 2011. Are you the author of that yet to be published paper, or a reviewer of it? I did a google search for that, and all I found was this Wikipedia article mentioning it. FuFoFuEd (talk) 18:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • His publication list does not show it either, while it does list some forthcoming publications, http://www.ixi-audio.net/thor/ , so something is wrong here. Maybe the paper got rejected? FuFoFuEd (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • However, I see that Magnusson has an extensive blog dedicated to impromptu http://improgramming.wordpress.com/, and to some extensions he wrote. I think that qualifies under the WP:SPS expert exception, just like the stuff Smith self-published about FAUST qualified. So, I vote to:
  • Keep this article. Sufficient independent coverage exists, even if the more convincing one GNG-wise will only appear in print this summer. FuFoFuEd (talk) 20:59, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think it's helpful to keep a broad view of WP:GNG, in the spirit it was intended, and then figure out what references will satisfy it. They may not be scholarly papers. WP:GNG appears to me to be designed to keep out pages on hobbyists whose work is only known among their circle of friends. Impromptu isn't that. It seems to have an active international user base, and lots of people know about it. How did they all find out about it? It seems the thing to do would be to find the appropriate references that document that, rather than focusing too much on the specifics of scholarly papers. Mediamation (talk) 21:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Getting tired of the gratuitous deletion votes on specialist software packages. The question that should be asked: do these types of articles serve a useful purpose to a user community. In this case, clearly yes. There is a vibrant community, academic and non-academic, around these types of software packages. And wiki catalogs (in particular), and articles like this one provide an important index into both distributions and primary source material for these languages.

This is a bundled nomination of all Roger Federer in year articles. These articles present game, set, and match statistics in excessive detail. Additionally, outside of the small number of articles created in this format, the community has generally not considered it necessary nor appropriate to regard athletes' year-by-year performances in this manner, even for truly record-setting examples like Babe Ruth in 1927, much less for every year in a notable athlete's career. The first of these articles created for another tennis player was just deleted on these grounds. Serpent's Choice (talk) 13:32, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • not sure – These article being around for awhile means little to me. I admit that there is a wealth of info and that the sources are very reliable. GNG says "topic has received significant coverage." Roger Federer fits GNG... not his junior years. I don't see the press talking in detail about every tournament Roger played in 2003. When you take all these year by year things as a whole it starts to look like someone is writing a book about the history of Roger Federer here on wikipedia. Things to think about while making a decision here: We have detailed info about the high and low temperatures and fog in Santa Monica, day by day, hour by hour and year by year. Should that be part of Wikipedia? Also, Federer has been the 'Man' for the last half decade but there are plenty of other players in the past who would warrant the same treatment... Fred Perry, Molla Mallory, Anthony Wilding, Blanche Hillyard, Margaret Court, Pancho Gonzales, etc... Are we prepared to have year by year itineraries of these folks as well? Because I might write them as long as the floodgates are open. I do tend to like things tighter from an information standpoint but some of these these articles are on the cusp at best. Maybe... maybe when a player is number one he could have a yearly breakdown page but Roger wasn't number one in 2003 or 2010, and having a separate Roger Federer junior page is way out there in non-notability-land imho. So in looking at it, from my vantage point, we have some iffy pages and some non-notable trivia pages. I know people get very attached to articles they've worked on (self included) and my "not sure" isn't a deciding vote here. I just want everyone to think this through as far as consequences when we look back 5 years from now. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep as it clearly passes GNG, and if the information was to be merged into the main article it would be stupidly large. This information is notable enough to be on Wikipedia, and this format is the only way it realistically can be. SellymeTalk 03:17, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that Roger Federer Junior years can "easily meet" GNG. That is simply trivia in an encyclopedia and sets a dangerous precedent for an influx of junior year articles for 100's of players. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. I overlooked these articles. WP:NTENNIS indicates that juniors year won't meet GNG. But starting from Early Career article, the rest can meet GNG because he has already been playing in famed tournaments as detailed in WP:NTENNIS. Soewinhan (talk) 14:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my question is why does Roger Federer merit these separate articles? Is it because he was number one in those years? Obviously not in all of them. Is it because he was number one for several years and therefore "all" his playing years become noteworthy? Djokavik in 2011 was deemed deletable so what makes "Roger Federer's early career" keep-able in comparison? I'm trying to get a handle on why we wouldn't have an article on say... "Leyton Hewitt in 2009" or "Andy Roddick in 2010?" Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:25, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that Federer merits these articles not because he was number one in those years (which he was not in all), but because he is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, players of the sport. I would also argue that players who are generally considered to have a major influence on the development of tennis (which would include folks like Federer, Sampras, Connors, Borg, Lendl, John McEnroe, Laver, etc.) would merit articles covering as much depth of their careers as these articles cover Federer's career with. This guideline would be satisfactory to stop the creation of countless articles of this sort on less-renowned tennis players. Of course, there would have to be some sort of consensus at WP:TENNIS as to which players would be considered to have a major influence on the development of tennis, but that should bring about no major controversy. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 00:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that Federer from 2003 onwards merits these articles, maybe not his junior years or early career because it may or may not pass the noteworthy aspect for those two articles. The 2003 season was his first slam year, which facilitated him becoming number one in 2004 after the Australian Open. I would say Djokovic deserves to have two articles made for his 2008 and 2011 seasons because he won slams in those years. The standard needs to be if you rise to or are number one in that year and/or win a slam in a year you should be able to make a season article on wikipedia for that player, which would be logical since sizing requirements.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 00:46, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that's a lot of articles I would not agree with if I start thinking about it. And I'll bet the players needed to pass muster will create more controversy than one thinks. I can think of a couple dozen right off the top of my head (that's like 200-250 articles needed) and we if we use SWWWWWH's criteria there would be 100's of players and therefore thousands of year by year articles. It looks like all the Federer articles will pass muster here so in the coming months and years it will interesting to see what crop has sprung from this seeding and whether the wiki tennis community will become hypocritical when looking at great players from earlier eras. Fyunck(click) (talk) 01:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, what do you think about 2010 Detroit Lions season which all team sports seems to have a people generally accept them. In tennis, we do not have teams, but players and they have seasons. So, you have to answer my question what's the difference between individuals having seasons and teams?SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 01:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is true and a good point. But each member of the Detroit Lions doesn't have a year by year (or shouldn't imho). Nor do we have an article for each game of the Detroit Lions season from 1968. We instead have tournaments as our "teams" which we highly detail every single year. Heck a day-by-day article of a particular tournament is like having and inning-by-inning article in baseball or a quarter-by-quarter article in football. And we don't have an article like "Jerry Rice and his Pop Warner days." (God or at least I hope we don't). Teams and individuals are very different and while there are some correlations there are also big differences. The sad part is you chose the Detroit Lions... sort of our equivalent to Anna Kournikova (except not as good looking) :-). Every year I hope will be different for old Detroit but they continue to suck. Oh well that's another topic :-) Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow that any singles player deserves a season article for GS wins and world #1 rankings, but no doubles player merits a season article. SellymeTalk
And just so we are clear. Are you also suggesting that, like Federer, if player X wins a Major in 2012 after having been on the tour awhile, we should also create an article for player X in 2011, player X in 2010, player X in 2009, player X the high school years, etc? And on the flip side we have had doubles teams win the coveted Grand Slam and been number one for several years. Surly they deserve year by year articles? I see no way that Federer deserves year by year articles and a doubles team like Navratilova/Shriver does not. There would need to be "Navratilova–Shriver doubles in 1981", "Navratilova–Shriver doubles in 1982", "Navratilova–Shriver doubles in 1983", etc... we could list them on the tennisproject to-do-list page. As I said from the beginning a couple of those Federer pages are iffy and some are quite out there... but a couple of them are simply trivia that are not notable and they really open the dam for a potential flood. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that for the first year they hit #1 or win a GS and every year forwards should get an article, whereas anything before that should be xxxxx xxxxxxxxx's early career. With regards to doubles teams, I agree that some do deserve season articles, but my wording was horrific. In my opinion, doubles players need to achieve more to merit season articles.
How about if every player with an ATP World Tour/WTA Tour title win gets a xxxxx xxxxxxxxx's career record article encompassing full detail of every match they've played, with separation for any with significant achievements? I mean, this information will be widely sourced in any cases post-1980, and there's no real reason not to have them. Okay, I'm being very inclusive here, but really, it's information worth having. (See, this is why I support article sub-pages to expand on article information without being bloated) SellymeTalk 11:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I simply disagree here with this being way too exclusive. In fact it won't work because "Novak Djokovic in 2011" has already been shown to be unworthy of wikipedia. And a career record for someone who wins a single tier3 event? Wow. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:10, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with Sellyme. For every period of time which meet GNS, there should be nothing preventing from creating an article here provided that new articles should not be redundant and are simply content forking of larger article which size is limited by WP:AS. Let's say for example, if one wants to create an article about Roger Federer in 2010 January (which meets GNS because he won Austria Open), then Roger Federer in 2010 must be oversized to the point that it clearly needs to be forked.

I think monthly pages are a bit overboard, because yearly pages are highly unlikely to need to be split into multiple articles in and of themselves. And Fyunck, I don't see why a simple list of results for a player of title calibre is that overboard. Maybe if it (the requirements) was/were upped to ATP World Tour 500 or above? SellymeTalk 00:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If all someone has won is a tier3 or tier2 event their charts are gonna be mighty small to begin with... that should fit on a single page under their name. Sorry but I don't think the originators of wikipedia wanted it become a trivia outlet... I know I don't want it to be. But it appears I'm way in the minority on all things Roger Federer. That's ok though because most of us agree on most things so we're bound to disagree on occasion. This is one of them. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you support every single match a player has been in to be listed on their main article? A lot of player articles are "too large" already. (Another reason I support sub-pages for article usage) SellymeTalk 05:29, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do not. I'm saying every match a player has been in their entire career is useless trivia that doesn't belong here. That would belong in a book specifically about that player or perhaps the ATP/WTA archives of trivia. A player who wins a single tier 3 event in his or her career should have a single page that everything needed should fit. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:06, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, not quite. See, we're talking only about ATP World Tour matches (Or the WTA equivalent). Now, participating in one of these matches qualifies a tennis played for an article. So how is it "useless trivia"? Look at it this way: Sure, it may be more suited in a book about that player or the WTA/ATP archives, but why not have it here as well, so people don't have to change sites? It's factual, notable, and informative, so it meets all criteria of an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is rapidly arriving at a point where we need to decide whether to expand our horizons or keep concentrated on our standards now. I for one want Wikipedia to keep growing, until it can be used as a reference (poor wording, but you get the point) for almost anything, and although this information may seem trivial, that doesn't mean it isn't useful to the readers. If we look at the (admittedly vague) policies for article guidelines in general, it says to avoid things like Jane Smith's waffle breakfast of January 24, 1998, but it doesn't say why. Common sense will tell you that it's because (to be blunt), no-one gives a rat's ass about that (With the possible exception of Jane Smith). Now, it's obvious that a large amount of people would be interested in Federer's career record (Especially with the nifty coloured W/L columns to have a graphical representation of his form), so I honestly do not see a reason not to include it.
Don't take this as any kind of debate, but I really strongly feel that Wikipedia needs to broaden its horizons and attempt to grow continuously, not just slow down and become stagnant. This would be the first step. /rant SellymeTalk 07:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say a "single page" on a player who has won a low level atp tourney is trivia. Heck they get an article a few paragraphs and charts. But that should be enough. And we only agree that their entire record is factual...it is not notable. Federer's career achievements are fine too. But, using your words, I don't think many people give a rats ass about the fact Roger is 1-0 against Julian Reister or every match he played as a junior. I also don't like seeing % used in most charts. That dumbs down our readers too much since it's already in the chart if they do some simple math. But that's another story. I think we've used enough bandwidth here so that everyone knows where we stand and why. We are not going to change each others minds on this item.
You're missing the point. I actually support the deletion of Federer's juniors page. It's ATP World Tour matches that I think aren't "useless trivia", and ATP World Tour matches that people will be interested in. And I, for one, went "Oh cool, Reister made the third round of a GS. Not bad for world number 165."
I'll be honest. I'm not too keen to create new articles about each individual season, but I think it has to (or at least should)be somewhere. I'd much prefer them to be in a format such as Roger Federer/2010 season, but as that is never going to happen and including it in the main article is just ludicrous, this is the best option. SellymeTalk 09:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not talking about creating month pages. There won't be substantial contents to do so. I was referring to a general case only when yearly pages are oversized. Soewinhan (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This will be near impossible until we reach a point where every venue for a tournament has a large enough grounds that they can go through a round every day, thus allowing 8 tournaments a month as opposed to four. If we were to have an article for just the four tournaments a month a player can participate in (Which is normally only 2, at best 3, due to fatigue issues), then each match would have to have an in-depth report, which would be extending GNG to the extreme. Even at 8 enter-able tournaments a month it would be a bit ambitious.
However, that said, if a player's season summary article is truly that incredibly action-packed and informative, then in theory, yes, it should be split. SellymeTalk 07:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's common practice to split large articles into smaller ones and simply summarise the child articles in the parent one. If all this info was to be merged into the the Roger Federer article, it would be in violation of WP:LENGTH and would probably have to lose it's GA status. Merging these articles would be a net negative for the encyclopedia. Jenks24 (talk) 03:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. Landing incident which has only received short-term news coverage (WP:NOTNEWS). It is very fortunate that the fire did not lead to any casualties or hull loss, but mishaps like this are fairly common compared to the kind of incident which justify an article. The incident does not meet any of the criteria at WP:AIRCRASH for being mentioned in the corresponding airline/airport/aircraft article either. Also, the accuracy of the article seems off, the article mentions no tail number (with which the age could be determined exactly) but "it has been in service for approximately 5-10 years." is unlikely considering that the MD-80 went out of production in 1999.

Quite so, but I don't think it can have been a serious fire if it was extinguished in a minute and everyone was evacuated over the wing centre-section (i.e. near the seat of the fire) via the ventral air stair via the LH rear emergency slide.

An account asserting they are the subject is requesting deletion and claiming the article is detrimental to his career and that he no longer wants a wikipedia BLP. There is also only minimal notability and limited external reliable sources that focus on the subject. This is a procedural nomination to complete the users attempted formatting and I personally am currently undecided. Off2riorob (talk) 15:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - the subject is of limited notability and the sourced version of the article, although neutral, is obviously causing the subject distress. As the subject has himself expressed a desire to have the article deleted, and content is minimal, I think it would be best to comply in this case. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The account claiming to be the article subject is the creator of the article, and the article has stood for several years. The article does not appear to violate any Wikipedia content policies, make disparaging references to the subject, or intrusively disclose personal/private information. The subject appears to meet the pertinent SNG. The content he's objecting to now appears to be nothing more than a depeacocked version of content the subject added to the article himself. In this context, the subject's claim of distress and "negitive" [sic] impact should carry reduced weight. This appears to be a subject complaining that he can't control his Wikipedia article and frame it to promote his current projects, and there's no reason to cave in to his demand. He's got access to Facebook, Twitter, etc and is already using them. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:18, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The motorsports section of Wikipedia:Notability (sports) is very poorly written as it has been written exclusively from an American domestic viewpoint. Applying it to series outside NASCAR and Indycar requires interpretation. The relevant wikiproject has been discussing the issue and consensus is yet to be achieved. That having been said, the quality of results leads me to believe the subject fails notability regardless. --Falcadore (talk) 21:20, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I was simply taking the descriptions by others editors like "minimal notability" and "limited notability" at face value; my experience has been that the phrasing indicates subject technically passes an SNG, though GNG coverage hasn't been specified. If he fails the SNG, then my argument isn't very relevant. I just don't think it's appropriate to accede to the wishes of any article subject who demands that their entry be deleted if they can't control its content. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - currently his notability is minimal and there appears to be little reporting specifically about him and his life. A few races in what looks to be a a lesser level of championship. Little chance of creating any decent reliably cited life story. No objection after deletion to the creation of a redirect to his main notability which appears to be 2008 Australian Drivers' Championship or to a recreation if his notability increases. Off2riorob (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Neither of the cited sources actually discusses Bettridge- they are both simply appearances of his name on a list. My search didn't yield any better sources. With no reliable sources writing about him, there is nothing we can use to create a useful article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't see notability here. There are a lot of drivers at his level, and he does not stand out from the crowd. Indeed, you could say on the evidence of Google that nobody is much interested in him apart from Mr Bettridge himself. --AJHingston (talk) 17:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The subject does not meet WP:GNG as there is precious little coverage in reliable sources. As for meeting WP:NSPORT, and acknowleding that the criteria for motorsports is not well-developed, he does not make the grade as a race car driver. Going by the general guidance that an athlete is notable when competing at the highest level of his sport, the racing series which he competes are generally considered entry level and far from the top level of motorsport. This analysis stands regardless of the subject's desire with respect to the existence of an article about him in Wikipedia. -- Whpq (talk) 15:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. I find the notion that the innocuous factual information in this article is harmful to the subject to be quite ludicrous. I know little about auto racing, so I will take the other editors at their word when they say that he was a minor non-notable sports figure. Once strong notability standards are developed for international drivers the issue of undeleting/recreating this article can be taken up. Gamaliel (talk) 19:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - While the Australian Drivers' Championship is Australia's premier open wheel motor racing series, Bettridge has not driven a full season, and even then did not race in the outright division. That the subject of the article wishes the subject to be deleted is immaterial to the discussion. His achievements in domestic Australian motor racing do fail the notability test, and in truth the article should have been deleted when the subject created his Wiki-auto-biography. --Falcadore (talk) 09:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominate and comment I did a Google search for his name and it came up with 7,600 pages - not a large amount by Google standards, but quite respectable. However, a lot of websites take their information from Wikipedia, and we certainly don't want to further spread seemingly false information.

The sources listed showing he is the inventor are not reliable sources. However, the information is there on many websites - none of them seem reliable either, but it seems to be quite widely believed that there was a possibility he invented the eyeglasses. This seems to me a tricky one - if it is widely thought that he was the inventor (and thus people would search for him), then it seems best that he has an article so people can find out why it was previously thought that he was the inventor, and what the truth is. However, if he wasn't the inventor, does he meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines?

It survived a deletion attempt in 2004, but as that was in the early days of Wikipedia, I don't think that shows it is popularly supported.

The page might fail on notability, and is probably a result of WP:OR, even though some facts are based on real events of political dispute. This event was not a "war", but barely an armed conflict (where there any casualties?) - part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and thus it is a WP:UNDUE. The article is most probably failing the requirements WP:EVENT as well.Greyshark09 (talk) 16:45, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep—the article isn't great, I admit. However, it's a major part of both Israeli and Syrian history, and is still relevant today. The War over Water is a common title given to this topic, which was not actually a war but a series of military and political engagements. This was one of the major events leading up to the Six-Day War, and consisted of numerous notable border skirmishes between Israel and Syria. To give an idea of what the article should be like, look at the section titles here. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I have a number of sources pertaining to the subject and will try to expand the article in the coming weeks (can't promise anything though). One of the sources by the way, an encyclopedia on Israeli history, dedicates an entire page to the War over Water (and another one for the background), compared to this topic which gets barely half a page. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:58, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep per Ynhockey above on notability grounds, despite its relative poor current quality to include these. Its notability predates Israel's founding and any particular shooting that the title term war might imply in that context; it encompasses competing national, political and military disputes over the relatively scarce regional water resources, their utilization by riparian states, and the differences between those available resources and the boundaries since claimed, derived, occupied and disputed to this day. Original Zionist Organization claims to the land, specifically including the majority of regional water resources, date to one of the earliest official statements presented internationally at Paris in 1919 [13]. Later unilateral Israeli utilization caused major political problems between the US and the UN, as indicated here, here, and here, and led to a major diplomatic attempt to resolve the issues in the 1950s. Water remained very much an issue until resolved with Jordan, and remains a final status issue with the Palestinians, and an issue with Lebanon. It is indeed very notable, and part of wider issues in its own right. CasualObserver'48 (talk) 08:02, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability issues. Google search leads in a circle. Most info about group exists on YouTube and their personal page. Page has also been orphaned since 2009 Canyouhearmenow 10:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whpq, the publications you have listed are a great reference material, however, the "Encyclopedia of American Gospel Music" is a publication that the people who are included write their own entry. It is much like one of the Who's Who in American and you can pretty much write what you want as long as you pay the fee for the inclusion. The "Country Music Culture" looks more like a timeline of their performance than history of the group. I am still having a problem showing or agreeing to WP:Notability. I am familiar with this group's history and they are more of a regional act than per se the national brand. I am open for someone to show me the notability factor here to save this article. --Canyouhearmenow 12:39, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Do you have any documentation of paid inclusion for the Encyclopedia of American gospel music? -- Whpq (talk) 13:33, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The Encyclopedia of American gospel music is published by Routledge, a reputable publisher. As far as I can tell, the book itself is widely held in libraries. Unless there is evidence that one pays to be listed in that book, then I am inclined to accept it as a reliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 15:43, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I just called Routledge Publishing to inquire as to this publication. They did in fact confirm that at the time of print it was a pay for inclusion publication but it has not been published since 2005. There are no plans to publish or reprint it again. The inclusions into the book were of a technical merit and group staging moreover than information on the groups themselves. The information was to substantiate the history of Gospel music and the behind the scenes kind of info. Although I know that it does not have to be a continually published or printed encyclopedia of sorts to maintain notability status, I just wanted to throw that tid-bit out there. So, with that being said, there is no reference or way to show that this is a pay to print publication and if everyone feels it meets WP:Notability guidelines then I will have no other choice but to go with the flow of traffic here. I am still feeling that this group does not meet a preponderance of what is notability. But, I will go with the flow should everyone decide to keep the article. One must also realize also that the materials that we are looking at for saving this article is the material that is goign to be needed to build the article. Does anyone feel there is enough material contained in what has been found to build a comprehensive article? Input please? --Canyouhearmenow 19:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's the crux-- is the encyclopedia really an encyclopedia or vanity press. It feels like an encyclopedia to an extent, but the Cookes's article takes a familiar tone, using the kids' first names. As much as I want to, I can't quite bring myself to change to "keep." We'll see what else surfaces. We'll see how the closing admins views this. Time permitting, I can look more closely at the publication data. Dlohcierekim 13:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dlohcierekim, this has been my dilemma all along. I knew about the periodical, but being an entertainment historian we give very little credence to its value because we know that the artists are the ones who write what is included or the periodical takes it from what the artists have written in other places. It is not in my opinion a reliable third party. However, since the periodical ended and will not be reprinted, one cannot make an argument about its validity because little is written about the periodical and how it gleans its information. The bottom line is; after looking at even the articles that are written in these periodicals, it still gives little credence to the subjects notability and even fewer sources to build a comprehensive article upon. I still feel this article should be deleted. Canyouhearmenow 15:00, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If I were the closing admin, I'd probably close it as "no consensus". But I leave it to those who work here. That's why they get the big salaries and company cars <cough />. Right now, we have one "keep," one certain "delete," and one ambiguous, hand wringing delete. I'm looking forward to see how it sorts out. Dlohcierekim 15:06, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in the controversy surrounding "Routledge Publishing", because I'm involved in another deletion process and one of this company's Who's Who books is one of the citations for that (other) article. I used to be regularly sent letters from a Marquis Who's Who company asking me to submit or edit entries about myself for their various books. I gradually discovered their books are vanity books (as this Forbes article more or less confirms http://www.forbes.com/fyi/1999/0308/063.html). Marquis did, in fact, publish my (auto)biographical entry without requiring me to buy a copy of their book. They merely urged me to buy; they never insisted. I suspect this is how many vanity Who's Who publishers work. Note also that: 1) Marquis Who's Who books list famous as well as obscure persons so as to appear legitimate (if they didn't appear legitimate, they couldn't sell any copies), and that 2) Marquis Who's Who books are generally kept in libraries. (I checked the first one that appeared with me in it at the local university library, and when I asked the librarian where to find it, she groaned. Apparently, she knew all about it.) TheScotch (talk) 07:39, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TheScotch, that is the same with the publication in question now. It's information is gleaned the same way as the Who's Who series. Artists are asked to submit their stories and bio materials. Essentially allowing them to write their own press without having a third party to verify accuracy. This is where I have an issue that this periodical should not be allowed for consideration for verifiability because it would fail Wikipedia's rules for reliable third party sourcing. This particular periodical is a behind the scene of technics and stories written by the artists or groups. The artists were then encouraged to buy the publications in order to boost popularity or promotional tear sheets. Hence the reason I have a problem with these particular publications being used to show notability for this group. This publication is not being printed any longer more less because it probably did not sell enough copies to the artists that were included. That is the history of this type of publication. Without this publication being used, this group would fail WP:V or WP:GNG. I am waiting for the final decision to see where this goes. --Canyouhearmenow 11:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Del - Given the issue with paid inclusion for the Encyclopedia of American gospel music, I've reconsidered my position. For me, it was that source that established notability with the others supporting it; the keystone if you will.

Non-notable cricket league. Involves Indian celebrities, not played to a high enough standard to indicate notability per WP:CRIN. Outside of India it will get little coverage. Fails WP:GNG. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 10:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Comment: Agree that currently the league is unfficial and not very notable and involves only celebrities.

But considering that this is in India there is always the chance of the organizers involving cricketers in the league, to increase attention and attraction. So, we have to have this article ready for such situation also. We just cannot create the article then and dig out all past details.

Also, I don not think that not much interest outside India is a criterion. Afterall, test cricket is played by 10 out of the 220 odd nations in the world. So, cricket itself do not have much interest in the whole world. Again, who else is interested in leagues run in Zimbabwe, Kenya and all, even though official ? Also, there are 1000s of articles on Indian topics which do not draw any interestby people outside. Same is the case with articles from any country.

If your main concern is the categories, we can discuss on removing some categories and keep only the acceptable ones for the time being. Our intention should not be to delete articles. but how to improve them. But, I strongly oppose deleting the article beacause there is lot of interest shown to this event by the film lovers in India, which itself will runs into billions of people. There is also going to be a TV coverage of this tournament. This league will get more TV viewers than an Ashes series, because this is held in India.

One more point. Indian Cricket League was also unofficial, it is now defunct also. Still it holds all the categories and have a valid article in Wikipedia.

Cannot agree to deletion of article. The categories related to cricket can be removed and can be kept to Entertainment in India section. There is no rule that celebrities cannot play cricket, nor all cricket should have professionals playing. There is a lot of interest for this event in India.

Delete. This is the same sort of principle as the long running Soccer Six tournament in England, and, to my knowledge, that doesn't have an article. The players may be notable, but notability is not inheritable. Andrew nixon (talk) 15:50, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete: Players are very notable. They are big superstars. The tournament is also notable and much expected. Please do not compare with some soccer tournament is a small country like England. Unofficial tournaments like Hong Kong International Cricket Sixes have articles. We removed all categories related to cricket from the article. So WP:CRIN is no longer applicable to this article. Instead of asking to delete the article (which adds no value), it will be great if you can provide your valuable suggestions to improve/modify the article and keep the article here. Thank you for the support.
Anish Viswa 00:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You've made your point, you don't need to keep making it. The original reason for nomination isn't quite accurate, but that doesn't make the deletion any less valid. This is an almost completely non-notable event. The comparison with the Soccer Six tournament in England is perfectly valid. That is a small tournament for celebrities that gets some coverage in English media, but mostly none elsewhere. This is a small tournament for celebrities that gets some coverage in Indian media but mostly none elsewhere. It's a joke of an event, a jolly for some celebrity friends. Not everything done by celebrities is important. Andrew nixon (talk) 06:09, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is by WP:CRIN and WP:ATH a non-notable cricket event; however notable the "celebrities" are for other deeds, they are not notable for cricket or participation in this. If some of these people are interested in cricket or even in playing cricket, then that might make a note within their own articles, but it does not make their cricket notable. Johnlp (talk) 23:02, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I seriously doubt this league would get anywhere near viewing figures for the Ashes, even if it did that doesn't mean it is notable. Also, these actors might be "superstars" in India, but as already pointed out, it doesn't make their cricket or this tournament notable. There are no notable domestic leagues in Kenya, but in Zimbabwes case, it is a full member, therefore its domestic leagues are notable as they have first-class, List A, T20 status ect. That is what WP:CRIN largely goes by, not always, but most of the time. Being based in India doesn't make it notable either. 10 members of the ICC might be Test nations (down to the closed door approach of the ICC), but cricket is more popular than you made out with that statement. Not that that has any bearing on this AfD, just thought I'd point that out! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 12:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, also an element of WP:CRYSTAL when the impact of this league is not yet known. S.G.(GH) ping! 15:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. I understand this !vote comes late in the AfD and that, at the moment it would appear to be a clear delete outcome. However, this tournament clearly meets the general notability guideline (GNG). A simple google news search (not even the archive) for "Celebrity Cricket League" gives 60 results, many of which are enough to be the significant coverage in independent reliable sources that the GNG requires. Some examples include, The Times of India (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), Deccan Herald (1, 2, 3, 4), The Indian Express (1), The Deccan Chronicle (1, 2) and The Hindu (1). These are all from the first page of my google news search, so even more coverage than that could easily be found. To the comments above about not meeting WP:CRIN, that may very well be true, but CRIN is inclusive, not exclusive, and meeting the GNG proves notability. As to the comments about not being notable outside of India, that has never been a notability criteria (although it would be easy to argue that being notable in a country of 1.2 billion people is enough even if that were true). As to the WP:CRYSTAL comment, this tournament is verifiably occurring right now, so I'm unsure how CRYSTAL applies at all. Jenks24 (talk) 15:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think GNG relies nowadays too much upon google search results. It's India, so cricket is popular, it involves celebrities so will get attention, but as above points have said, it doesn't make their cricket or this tournament wholly notable. It's just a glorified cricket league, played at a poor standard which gets attention solely because it involves Bollywood celebrities and is cricket - both of which in India are likely to get attention, but none outside of India. Then you'd have to ask where do we draw the line? Some celebrities having a jolly gets an article, but what about unofficial cricket leagues played to a higher standard, with actual cricketers, but with less coverage????? AssociateAffiliate (talk) 20:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand where you're coming from here, but these are major newspapers in India (not just tabloid rubbish) that have deemed the tournament notable enough to cover. To the comments about the quality of cricket, I definitely agree with you that there are many leagues around the world (hell, probably even my local league) that play to a much higher quality, but it is not the quality of cricket that has made the tournament notable, but rather the Bollywood celebrities (who are huge in India) have made the tournament notable. Again, just because the "significant coverage" required by the GNG will likely be confined to India, that is not a reason to delete an article on a topic that is notable to 1.2 billion people. Jenks24 (talk) 20:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      • The coverage I looked at is directly related to what notable celebrities are doing and does not address the league directly and in detail. This is a case that a just because a notable person is associated with a cricket game/league it does not make that game/league notable. I am willing to change my mind if you can show me coverage that is not of that type.Mtking (talk) 21:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't understand what you mean here by coverage. The event is covered by all leading national dailies in India like The Hindu, Times of India, Deccan Heralad etc. both in their Print and Internet editions. The news is covered in all major news channels including CNN-IBN, NDTV etc. All major portals like SIFY cover the event. The matches are played in international stadiums like Chinnasamy, Chidambaram etc. to packed houses. The matches are covered like all over India by 4 channels - Sahara One, STAR Vijay, MAA TV, Gamini TV all having a huge customer base.
        Anish Viswa 23:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • The issue here is that is the coverage is either about what the notable celebrities are taking part or is just routine coverage of a sports event, there is nothing that I have seen that that could be called significant coverage that address the league directly in detail.

  • Delete Two of the three people voting to keep it are frequent contributors to conlang articles, including this one, so their assessment of reliability should be subjected to scrutiny, as should Bennett Chronister's, whose sole three edits in the last seven years have been in AFD entries for conlangs.

Let's get real here and go over the "reliable sources": the UCLA citation is a Media Arts User Page, which is basically a collection of student project pages hosted by UCLA. In other words, it's not an academic site. To make matters worse, the page mentions Eaiea only in passing and directly cites langmaker.com! The next citation, the PDF file, has apparently been deleted. However, if we move up the URL we find first an abandoned blog and then a site for a fraternity that also seems to be abandoned. After that is eaiea.com. Very reliable! The sole serious citation to be found is an online magazine article about Solresol which again mentions Eaiea only in passing. (I should also note that the article uses this image, which suggests that the writer used Wikipedia as a source for Solresol. I suspect that he went from there to Eaiea and that that is his sole source of information)

I think it would be nice if people who don't have a particular interest in conlanging were to come here and weigh in on the notability of this article because these citations are not reliable. Hermione is a dude (talk) 13:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: When I click on http://www.mubetapsi.org/clef/print/clef_s09.pdf I don't get a deleted file. I get Volume 48, Issue 1 of The Clef, the spring 2009 issue of this college newsletter. It is dated April 15, 2009. I first found that newsletter a year ago when I was first searching for reliable sources I could use in an article on Eaiea. I should note that I found a fourth reliable independent source on Googlebooks. I found Eaiea discussed in a book that mentioned that Bruce Koestner was a fan of Solresol! That would have been a great fact to have in this article. Alas, one year later I can no longer find this book on either Googlebooks or Amazon. Voters should note that notability is determined by whether good sources exist, not by whether the article cites any in its current form. In case you're wondering about the Mu Beta Psi newsletter, Amazon is discussed on pages 4 thru 5, in an article titled "Musical Languages".

Oh and by the way, Hermione, that'd be three out of three keepers are frequent contributors to conlang articles.Wiwaxia (talk) 10:57, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • No, because Bennett Chronister's only contribution to conlang articles has been in AFD discussions spaced two years apart, and he's done nothing else since 2004. That is ultra shady. As for the PDF: it wasn't working when I checked it out the other night, so I assumed it has been deleted. However, now that I have a chance to look at it, I see that the writer doesn't say anything that can't be gotten from eaiea.com, and the mention of the one act opera is a dead giveaway ("according to one website..."). This is essentially a proxy citation of eaiea.com, just like the UCLA link is a proxy citation of Langmaker.com. Hermione is a dude (talk) 12:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I feel somewhat unpleasantly surprised by this attitude. In fact, Hermione, you better listen to people who contribute more regularly to articles about constructed languages, because that means in all probability that they are interested in the field and actually know something about it. Would you prefer it if people wrote only about subjects they know nothing about? —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 11:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC) - Aha, and for the record: I have no relationship at all with either Eaiea or its creators, so you can't seriously accuse me of being biased or having a conflict of interest. Nor do I favour an approach of including every possible conlang here, as you can easily deduct from my voting history - and while you're at it, you'll also find out that I never participate in votes about subjects I'm ignorant about. Regards, —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 11:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not saying that we should be inviting total morons who think all constructed languages most be deleted because they "aren't real", but this sort of discussion shouldn't be limited to people who themselves have articles about their conlangs on this Wiki which only barely achieve notability. There are certainly people here who don't know about conlanging but can can still judge this and similar articles fairly. Hermione is a dude (talk) 12:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't know about the history of this article, but it clearly doesn't meet the general notability guidelines. Of the four sources used by the article, two have a single sentence on Eaiea, one is not independent in any way and the other doesn't seem to be a very significant 3rd party source. Searching the web doesn't bring up any significant, independent coverage of the language making it clear that notability is difficult, if not impossible, to establish. --Mrmatiko (talk) 10:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Four sources are cited: one is definitely not RS (it's a personal page), one is not independent and thus not RS for notability purposes (the language's website), one is a college newspaper and thus not RS for notability purposes (the music fraternity newsletter), and one is Terra Magazine, which seems to be reliable but is not sufficient to establish notability.

It's professionally piblished and appears in dead-tree format as well as online, with multiple writers and an editor. This is professional and well-put-together.

Article contains a large amount of original research on a non-existent, fabricated identity, namely the so-called "Palestinians". If anything, it should be merged with the article about Jordanians (see point 2)

Facts:

1. Palestine the name given a British-controlled territory after WW1, which never existed as an independent state. Most of this "Palestine" is called Jordan today.

2. Only 700,000 people were living in the Mandate of Palestine, with most of the Arabs living East of the River Jordan, in the modern day country of Jordan.

3. Under Muslim rule the region had been reduced to a barren wasteland. Most of it was uninhabited, and they did not call themselves "Palestinians," but thought of themselves as "Arabs" Jews were the only people that produced anything for the region, and built the cities into what it was today causing resentment from the masses of illiterate and poverty-ridden Arabs. Jews never held any political power until 1948. JewishLeftist (talk) 08:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to soothe your hostile feelings and come up with a more practical reason to keep this article. The notability of the subject is what matters to Wikipedia. And the notability of this subject is questionable. If you disagree, then please supply an objective argument for this subject's notability. – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  04:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Currently there are about 14,700 websites on this topic in GOOGLE. Its paradigm-shifting nature naturally antagonizes people who cannot agree that diabetes mellitus may be burnt out and may hence eventually have a cure. The hostile bias against such scientifically sound steps is natural. However, it may not lead to its deltion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burntout123 (talk • contribs) 01:43, 25 May 2011 (UTC) — Burntout123 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Your argument is compelling, and I wonder if the term "burnt-out diabetes" might have an even wider scope. It is intriguing to me that, while nobody seems to know why, this type of surgery also reverses diabetes type II in 90% of cases.
As the warning box indicates, anyone can feel free to continue to edit this article. Since the article is a stub with only one inline citation and three other references, what it needs to "survive" seems to be to expand it with more applicable information, and to find and add more reference citations, more scholarly, third-party references. As it is now, it cannot remain and should be deleted; however, if what you say is true and is more than just original research, then it should not be difficult to improve this article so that it would no longer be a deletion candidate. Are you willing to take on this task? – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  10:01, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I presume that these are train cars or electric bus cars (streetcars ?)... however there's very little context to identify them. I'd suggest the content be merged into the Winnipeg Transit or New Flyer article, if appropriate, but this article title makes no sense as a redirect. Moreover, I suspect that it's a table of individual cars because it lists a VIN number entry. This is overwhelmingly specific and makes me wonder about WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

  • Delete. After doing searches in google books, google news archives, and in several opera related journal/magazine subscription databases wbich I have access to, I can not find any additional sources for this person. The lack of independent coverage on this particular singer indicates to me that he does not meet wikipedia's notability requirements. However, there may be foreign language references which would not show up in my searches. If additional independent and reliable sources for this subject are found which support notability, I will change my vote to keep.4meter4 (talk) 04:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If other sources are found that I consider to attest notability, I'll withdraw. ;) Do we know how his name is spelled in Persian or Cyrillic? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:01, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. From this list of artists in the Iranian American Art Expo 2008, his name in Persian is دانيل گوجوين. I tried searching under that term, but couldn't find anything. It's complicated by the fact that his name is originally Russian, so there may be several transliterations (both into Persian and English). However, if you watch the Voice of America feature on him, he was clearly singing leading roles in Rudaki Hall, which before the 1979 revolution was Iran's most important opera house. After the revolution, opera and western music were banned and Rudaki Hall was re-named "Centre for Revolutionary Songs and Hymns", which says it all. I suspect this is one of those frustrating cases where the subject is notable, but it's going to be impossible to find the sources normally required to prove it. Or at least impossible to find them without library research and a knowledge of Persian. If I were the Empress of Wikipedia, I'd ignore all rules and vote keep on the basis of the VoA feature. So I'm going to sit on the fence with this one. However if it is deleted, I think it should be without prejudice to re-creation if sources can be found.

    • I managed to find a brief piece about him in a news archive that I have a subscription to:
"Daniel Goojvin, well known to art collectors in Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Russia, introduces an original oil painting on canvas, 'You will remember me forever, Last Supper' The size of the piece is 48 x 30 inches, and retails for $9,000. Goojvin has over 3,500 oil-on-canvas pieces in private collections around the world. His accomplished style has won him many titles and awards from prestigious art associations and clubs, and he has held over 150 exhibits across Europe and Asia. Trained as an opera singer and actor, Goojvin has performed in over 90 opera productions and has had supporting roles in four major motion pictures." (Art Business News (September 2004). "Artist Showcase: Daniel Petrovich Goojvin")

Not independent. Check out the rest of it here: it gives a phone number for more information, it's probably some sort of paid listing. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:32, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know and in any case his notability would derive from his opera career in Iran. According to these memoirs of Liliana Osses Adams who was Principal Harpist for the Rudaki Opera and Ballet in the 1970s (and briefly mentions Goojvin as one of the permanent singers there), the Rudaki opera house archives were completely destroyed after the Islamic Revolution. Thus the only possibility of finding anything would be in a library holding copies of newspapers published in Iran between 1967-1978. The only similar case to this one was Wu Pak Chiu but at least there a scan of his obituary was available. Voceditenore (talk) 08:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Liliana Osses Adams also has some scans of programs from the last two years at the opera house, which have Goojvin listed (name spelled Goujvin) but in comprimario roles, e.g. Dr. Caius in Falstaff and Borsa in Rigoletto. Under that spelling he's also listed in an issue of Opernwelt from 1978 as Dancaire in a Tehran production of Carmen. But so far that's it in relation to what's online.

The result was speedy keep. This may or may not strictly meet the letter of the speedy keep guidelines. However, this article's previous AFD was closed a little over a week ago, and a merge discussion is actively ongoing. That editorial process should be permitted to run its course. If consensus on the merge or redirect process fails to form after a reasonable amount of time (perhaps a month or so), then another trip to AFD might be warranted.

This article was proposed for deletion last year and nominated for deletion last month. The events concerning the proposed deletion was detailed in the previous AfD. The previous AfD was closed after approximately three weeks as no consensus. The rationale for deletion remains unchanged from the last year's and last month's efforts — the lack of notability and any appropriate alternatives. Additional discussion of relevance can be found at Talk:System bus model#Merge to System bus. Rilak (talk) 02:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My interpretation of WP:DRV is that it prescribes no such thing. Rilak (talk) 04:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I don't think the proposed deletion has any bearing on this here... prod's are fragile things; if somebody disagreed that doesn't preclude a nomination--in some cases it actively encourages it. WP:DRV has no bearing here. Nobody actually ever (I think) !voted keep without also suggesting a merge; the no consensus was predicated on a lack of a suitable target for a merge. There's an active talk page discussion. Perhaps a target's been found. I'd probably prefer if Rilak waited longer or more actively pursued the merge route, but there's nothing improper about this nomination. Shadowjams (talk) 05:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's only a month since the last nomination, and nothing has changed since. This seems to be a case of WP:KEEPLISTINGTILITGETSDELETED. Shadowjams is entirely correct when he says there is plurality support for a merge, and I suggest that you return to the talk page and seek consensus about where to merge it to.—S Marshall T/C 07:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy close The article has not been fully merged into system bus. No need for an AfD, this can be handled on the talk page. Relisting an article on AfD a week after it has previously be closed, for the third time by the same nominator, without and essential change to the circumstances is obviously not going to provide any new insights and therefore disruptive. —Ruud 08:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Majority support of an action without merit does not (or more realistically, should not) stand. Most of the keeps and merges in the first AfD have unrecoverable flaws that make them equivalent to votes; and AfD is not meant to be voting, but discussion based on policy, guidelines, and the facts.
For instance, in the second week of the first AfD, Ruud Koot asserted that the article is about the system bus and therefore should be kept or merged. I objected to this on the basis that the article was not about system bus, but the system bus model, and that the article only had coverage of the system bus as background information.
Whose argument is of merit? Is the claim that the article is about the system bus supported by the facts? Specifically, is this what the article claims its subject to be; and is this what the references cited in the article claims the subject to be?
Instead of resorting to referencing policies, guidelines, and the like, can we please examine arguments to determine if they carry any weight and present counterarguments if they do not? Referencing WP:KEEPLISTINGTILLITGETSDELETED actually works in my favor because, as what you linked to says, "This argument is a good argument in some circumstances but a bad argument in others. An article that was kept in a past deletion discussion may still be deleted if deletion is supported by strong reasons that were not adequately addressed in the previous deletion discussion; after all, consensus can change." In the last AfD, the notability concerns were not addressed, as were the appropriateness of the suggested merge targets.
WP:KEEPLISTINGTILLITGETSDELETED also says, "If an article is frivolously nominated (or renominated) for deletion, then editors are justified in opposing the renomination." Was it proven that the rationale in the PROD and the first AfD was invalid? I don't think so. With the exception of two or so editors, the rationales were consistently ignored — ignoring the argument does not prove it, or make it, invalid. Those who did not ignore the AfD rationale and tested it eventually supported deletion. (Also of relevance is the ensuring discussion at Talk:System bus model#Merge to System bus).
So does three clear deletes founded on discussion vs three clear keeps/merges founded on baseless assertions look like a clear and unanimous opposition to deletion you? This and the demonstrated poor quality of the first AfD makes describing this AfD as "frivolous" absolutely unwarranted. Rilak (talk) 08:32, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To quote User:Christopher Thomas: "There will come a time when you disagree with community consensus, and you know that you are right, and it's about something important. The correct thing to do is to respect community consensus anyways." No go merge the article so everyone is happy or stop wasting their time. —Ruud 09:57, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You say: Referencing WP:KEEPLISTINGTILLITGETSDELETED actually works in my favor because, as what you linked to says, "This argument is a good argument in some circumstances but a bad argument in others.

In the last AfD, the notability concerns were not addressed, as were the appropriateness of the suggested merge targets. This represents a misunderstanding of notability. Notability deals in subjects and topics, not content. In other words, all things being equal, we should have an article on something if it's notable and not if it's not. But the fact that something's not notable doesn't mean it can't be merged or redirected. It just means it can't have its own article. Do you see?

    A merge outcome is entirely consistent with our notability guidelines. And there are two important reasons why it's the correct outcome. First, it benefits end-users. "System bus model" is a plausible search term. Readers searching for it should be directed to an article that actually mentions the topic. And second, it reduces potential hassle for editors. If we delete "system bus model" then we will leave a redlink that encourages an inexperienced editor to write an article in that space, whereas if there's a redirect, then there's much less risk that we'll find ourselves back here in a few months' time deleting another version (and incidentally giving our hypothetical inexperienced editor a bruising introduction to Wikipedian bureaucracy).

    In other words, whenever we're dealing with a plausible search term, correct outcomes include keep, merge, redirect or disambiguate. Deletion is only an option for plausible search terms if there's a copyright violation, BLP issue or other major issue with the content, in which case it should be deleted and a fresh redirect or disambiguation page created at once.

    There are absolutely no circumstances in which it's a good idea to leave a plausible search term as a redlink.—S Marshall T/C 10:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep The previous discussions failed to establish a consensus to delete and the nomination does not advance any new argument. Our editing policy is to retain such material for further work by means of ordinary editing. Warden (talk) 08:59, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I offer no new argument is because the opposition has not responded, let alone invalidated the original argument. Is the reason why all sorts of non-notable garage bands, Pokemon and it elk, pseudoscience and fringe views remain on Wikipedia because one can keep an article whose notability is claimed and found to be non-notable by merely ignoring such concerns?

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about an athlete who fails WP:GNG, and who has not played in a fully pro league, therefore failing WP:NSPORT. The PROD was contested on the grounds that Damash Gilan play in the Iranian Pro League, that he has played for his countries national team, and that he has appeared in the Champions League. All of Mr. Adrović's appearances for Damash Gilan have been in the Iranian second division, which is not listed as fully pro, his international appearances have been at the U21 level explicitly excluded by WP:NSPORT, and his Champions League appearances have been qualifying which means they do not grant notability.

  • Comment - In-depth coverage, not substantial, even by reliable source does not establish notability. There are several factors that are required to make this article get deleted. The article provided above is a trivial and routine work focused on this company. The same way it is also written like a promotional referendum or press release. The company is likewise locally known, the article should also provide details about its services and products, because talking solely about the company makes its lack of notability ubiquitous. Also the company does not have a large lifespan, does not feature anyone known or important on its crew nor the size of the crew is large, it hasn't achieved any achievement, doesn't have any controversy historic. Well even though this is a extensive list of reasons why this article is not notable, it does not conclude anything as anyone can make a further research and expand the article accordingly, what I don't think may be possible. Because using only a reference for writing the article make it kind of a primary source. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 05:30, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Google News results are related to any site using meta key with blog, newsletter, feeds, it does not provide reliability.

KeepHi Libstar, as a kickboxing contributer on wikipedia I feel that the Explosion Fight events are certainly notable on a French Muay Thai scene that is arguably second behind Holland and Belarus in Europe in terms of support/prestige etc. Also of note is that some of the fighters in these events Kem Sitsongpeenong, Abdallah Mabel, Houcine Bennoui are top fighters and what we are trying to achieve on wikipedia (and one of the reasons I joined) is that fighters and events can be connected in a way that no other website can offer. Deleting these pages isn't going to help make our kickboxing pages more informative and/or consistent - in fact it will have the opposite effect. The pages also contain references so my suggestion would be to leave the pages alone and perhaps request extra references in the future. We also have a French (I think) editor Jimmy Peters who is putting alot of effort into French based pages - perhaps he needs to be informed as well. Thanks. jsmith006 (talk) 17:38, 25 May 2011
Keep Hi, I think the Explosion Fight Night pages should be retained because it is a new large french organizations which combat some of the best French and international fighters such as Thai or Kem Sitsongpeenong or Ekapol Juke not to mention other.

Can someone explain what kinda reliable sources? There's a links above, from third party sources, the most reliable french martial arts site and a link to a magazine article. Obviously you wont find anything from New York Times nor any other major newspaper. Majority of martial arts pages could get deleted if going by that criteria. I don't get people just typing Delete without knowing anything about the subject.Marty Rockatansky (talk) 20:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When I look at the four sources, I see two promotional blurbs on sherdog and 2 brief summaries of the results. Since routine results are not notable, I'm not seeing reliable sources showing notability. You're right, Marty, I've had martial arts articles get deleted because I couldn't find reliable sources even when I strongly believed the subject was notable. That's a common result in the martial arts project, but Wikipedia has their policies (notably, WP:N,WP:RS, and WP:V). Papaursa (talk) 00:25, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Marty, it's not about knowing the subject WP:IKNOWIT, it's about demonstrating reliable sources as per WP:RS in third party sources. for something to be included in WP it has to be recognised widely. otherwise all these martial arts articles are sufficiently covered in martial arts websites not here. LibStar (talk) 00:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Even unregistered users can vote for deletion now. wow I didn't know that. Muayhtaitv.com is one of the most comprehensive sites covering martial arts, totally reliable. sherdog link was only put there because it contains the copy form french newspaper, third party source. [27] - Elite Boxing -Thai site in english covers the event here under international news section. But lets backtrack this little bit, Lipstar's claim for deletion was because according to him, google gave only 1 hit. - I googled it right now and for some reason ended up with 112,000 results for "Explosion Fight Night". Theres wide variety of martial arts sites in more than three languages covering the event.Marty Rockatansky (talk) 03:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
see WP:GOOGLEHITS. a large number of google hits is not an indicator of notability. how about some non kickboxing websites showing coverage of this? LibStar (talk) 03:42, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This band appears to me to be non-notable. I performed a wp:before search, and could not find sufficient RS-coverage or other indicia of notability. I PROD'd the article. An SPA deleted the PROD, writing "Soap Kills had and still has a lot of influence on the Lebanese and Middle Easter music scene and is regarded as a cult band. The artists are still active in other projects." I still cannot find sufficient indicia of notability. Epeefleche (talk) 19:02, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Soap Kills is one of the first band in the Middle East to do alternative music. They have a significant influence on current bands in the region including. I don't see why not just keep the article? What harm does it make? I am not familiar with the wiki terminology, but I think its sad if the article is to be deleted as I know the heritage Soap Kills has left on the Middle Eastern music scene, its a loss to the Middle East rock, alternative and RnB heritage.SolveigMalvik (talk) 21:24, 17 May 2011 (GMT)— SolveigMalvik (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Solveigmalvik/Archive.

This artist still has media coverage in 2011! e.g. Red Bull Music Academy 2011 (Soap Kills listed as psuedonym of Zeid Hamdan/Shift Z): http://redbullmusicacademyradio.com/shows/1446/Incognito Czech public broadcaster 2011, influence of Soap Kills in Middle Eastern music referenced: http://www.rozhlas.cz/radiowave/friday_ripple/_zprava/middle-eastern-spring--885695 Many more resources, e.g. this from 2006 Lebanese Daily Star http://www.dailystar.com.lb/Culture/Arts/May/20/From-Soap-Kills-to-Mooz-Records-musician-has-no-plans-to-clean-up-his-act.ashx#axzz1MeIeV3GW

It seems unbelievable this article is subject to be deleted, this a major band in alternative lebanese music. Former band members are involved in new projects. This article is very useful for the history of popular lebaneses music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.250.42.181 (talk) 07:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC) — 194.250.42.181 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Soapkills IMHO is notable. For instance it fulfils WP:Notability (music) / Criteria for musicians and ensembles item 10 : 2 track of their album Cheftak were included in the soundtrack of Divine Intervention a film which is notable. I would say it fulfils item 5 as they released 2 albums distributed by what I consider an excellent Lebanese media outlet and network for Middle East cultural products, mainly music http://www.incognito.com.lb/store/node/228

As for item 12 (and 6 and 7) It had coverage through numerous broadcast in the radio programs "Ruptures" and "Décalages" on Radio Liban, mostly interviews in French of either one of the two members of the group Yasmine Hamdan and Zeid Hamdan. These are reviewed and can be listened to as archives on the site of radio producer Ziad Nawfal http://rupturedonline.com/?s=Hamdan

All this is much interconnected, but obviously Lebanon alternative/underground scene is not that big. --Cgavilan (talk) 04:03, 23 May 2011 (UTC) — Cgavilan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

You may notice that I created a personal page to try to fend off the accusation of being an SPA or a sock-puppet. Simply disregarding comments, and references because they appear, to people apparently oblivious of the fact that Wikipedia and the world are not all in English, seems short-sighted and irrational to me. It's a bit insulting to.

The suggestion by a sysop at the sock investigation was to mark the SPAs as SPAs, as you will see at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Solveigmalvik/Archive.
  • To get back to rational arguments and references the 2 albums I mentioned above are on sale on I-tune also, as well as another track in a 2009 compilation http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/arabesque-arbaa-4/id286157902, and tracks in the Soundtrack of the film Intervention divine/Divine intervention which I mentioned also.

Yasmine Hamdan one of the 2 members of the band is mentioned in the WP English pages Y.A.S. and Arabology, but maybe the relevance of these pages will be questioned and they will be marked for deletion!!!--Cgavilan (talk) 11:07, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Soap Kills appears to be one of the leading groups in the Lebanon music scene. Although this article is about one of the two members, it does provide some substantial coverage about Soap Kills. This book identifies them as "ultra-trendy" in noting their contribution to the soundtrack of A Perfect Day. This book identifies them as "particularly well-known". -- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – There's significant coverage in the Daily Star, such as this, this, this, this, and multiple others. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 23:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As demonstrated by commenters above, WP:GNG is satisfied (apart from the sources listed there, the band was also prominently featured by German-French TV station arte at the time, and mentioned in TIME magazine as part of an "artistically significant" music scene). I have just expanded the article, using two of these references. And as a side remark (not intended as a WP:N argument), I would like to note that I have come across anecdotal evidence confirming 194.250.42.181's claims about their status in Lebanon. For example, last year I asked a Lebanese expat (who isn't a particularly avid music fan) if he had heard of the Soapkills, and got told that they are still a household name in Lebanon, known to many young people. Regards, HaeB (talk) 02:10, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The fact that this discussion is even needed is ridiculous. I was introduced to Soap Kills from a Lebanese roommate, the band is VERY MUCH SO a legitimate band and not a hoax. Why in the world would it even be considered for deletion? Because it's not a well known band? Ridiculous.--Teenageliberal (talk) 21:03, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw. Paul Erik found good coverage in the Daily Star, which IMHO suffices. Some of the other comments were based on anecdotal evidence ("I asked a Lebanese expat"; "my Lebanese roommate told me ..."), or based on arguments such as "what harm in having it", which is in itself less than convincing, but the Daily Star is an RS, and its substantial coverage is sufficient for me.

  • Keep The title of this article is notable per sources such as The origins of the organic movement. There are numerous ways of describing these inter-related topics: biodynamics, Soil Association, &c. Organising this material effectively to best serve our readers should be done by ordinary editing rather than deletion so that the edit histories and attributions are maintained and relevant material is not lost in the wash. This is our editing policy. Warden (talk) 13:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A well known term and encompasses a range of related initiatives with a common philosophy. The issue should not be whether there are articles on specific components (that's fine) but whether it is a synonym for another term which also has its own article. I don't think see that it is, or that another of the existing titles could provide a natural home for a historical and philosophical overview. I think there are weaknesses in the article, and Wikipedians' desire for sources and mistrust of essays has perhaps shackled it unnecessarily from explaining, for example, what the real drivers have been.

  • To the nominator. One of our most important rules here is assume good faith. This article was created back in 2006 by User:NorthernThunder and I see no evidence that he's anybody's sock puppet. However, I see that you only have 3 edits, 2 to this discussion. One might wonder if you might be somebody's sock puppet if we were basing our judgement only on edit count. Therefore, since "sock puppetry" is the only reason you offer for why this article should be deleted, give me a reason why I shouldn't close this discussion right now.

Comment: On the subject of possible sockpuppets, there are two very suspicious SPA accounts (Dtb747) and DTB77) with initials matching the article subject and having only edited this article. Then there's a new issue that has come to light with the latest edits (another SPA?) that removed the subject's middle name from the entire article: Other than the birth year I find no concrete evidence anywhere that David Tristan Birkin (the actor) and David Birkin (the award-winning photographer/actor) are the same person. However, either one of them is notable enough for an article to exist. And one more issue: The nominator's user name leads me to believe there may be a COI issue with this nomination. Conspiracies abound. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 04:30, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure either. It's quite possible that they are both the same guy and he's trying to distance himself from his "child actor" career on Star Trek TNG and others. Here's his Memory Alpha entry.
