Habib Construction Services Pakistan

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

This article fails WP:GNG. Moreover there are no reliable sources to cite the things said in the article and thus it fails WP:RS. P.S:-I had also nominated this article against G11.One of the prime reason being speedy deletion of another similar article namely Habib Construction Services Pvt. Ltd. by user Fastily in sep 2011.

2007 Leilehua Mules football

A season recap of a high school football team's season. Nothing notable about it. Side note: I can tell its creator put a lot of effort into it, but that still doesn't make it satisfy notability guidelines. Jrcla2 (talk) 23:51, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of the top ranking countries of the Eurovision Song Contest

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

Very similar article for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was deleted recently per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of the top ranking countries of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for reasons that extend to this article as well. Page is primarily statistics, which are trivial, with much original research included. Content could easily be summarised as appropriate (if it isn't already) in other articles.

Comment : There's a summary of statistics on the main Eurovision Song Contest page. I'm undecided whether this belongs here, as has been mentioned, the statistics are not obviously available elsewhere (the book reference, dated 2007, cannot obviously be used a source for 2010 statistics), but I don't think it does any harm having them. --Ritchie333 (talk) 17:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The lack of proper sourcing is more grounds for deletion in my view, than it is for keeping. Articles are supposed to summarise the contents of reliable sources per WP:V and WP:N. Straight tables of results in articles such as Eurovision Song Contest 2010 can be sourced and are appropriate, and simple calculations are also allowed per WP:CALC. This article goes beyond both those things, with league table based on a methodology invented by editors (e.g. giving a point for each country in the top five), and hence violates the original research policy. The text that goes with it reads like a personal interpretation of the tables, and again is original research. The content may not be harmful in itself, and may do well on a more suitable website, but it is not encyclopaedic. CT Cooper · talk 22:55, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Trivial, as above; additionally, may be included in the main article. --Neutrality^talk 20:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I dont see the harm in keeping it. Yes its trivial but so are alot of other articles on Wikipedia. This is good statistics for Eurovision-interested readers that are updated each year. The main article is already quite big and this material would make it perhaps too big in my opinion. It should have its own article.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:29, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As I hinted on above, harm isn't the issue here, nor whether it is interesting or not. The issue about the main article being too big is easily answered - most of the content in this article should go entirely for violating WP:NOR. CT Cooper · talk 22:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maya Tiwari

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

Non-notable religious leader. She fails WP:BIO standards as to substantial coverage. While she is well published and quite active as a religious leader, there's very little written objectively or reliably about her. JFHJr (㊟) 23:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The hits show mostly 1) insignificant/trivial coverage; 2) her statements as a spokesperson for her organization, about the organization; and 3) her own publications, as opposed to people publishing things significantly about her. JFHJr (㊟) 23:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep As the creator of this page, I think it is worthy of being in Wikipedia. To be clear, this was the first page I have ever felt compelled to create--I studied the guidelines when I created it and definitely did not mean for it to be an advertisement for product sales. I would like the opportunity to provide more relevant details and to encourage other contributions, and also to delete information that may not be within the guidelines, if any. I welcome this kind of feedback.Wordsage (talk) 20:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Gnews hits on "Mike Larkin" + "golf" are mostly unrelated to him. The few that apply are trivial--his most newsworthy achievement seems to have been once playing a round in an an amateur event with a 15-year-old Michelle Wie. General search is more of same, plus some primary and social media hits. The article itself does provide some references, e.g., his scorecard from a Hooters Tour event and a results sheet indicating that he once won $1,060.71 by tying for 17th-23rd place at the PGA Assistant Professional Championship. I note that none of the past 15 winners of this event merits a WP entry. He might yet make it to the PGA, so perhaps an article will eventually be appropriate. But fails WP:GNG for now. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability.

Keep as it presents original useful data. It may take a long time until the apparently novel procedure is used and cited in other research works. It should be inked to microwave radiation as an additional application since wiki has an educational purpose as well. Researchers are often inspired by novel demonstrated methods. It inspired me to use for paint like substance removal from a plastic without having to apply any substances on the surface, without having to scratch the plastic surface. Novel demonstrated procedure shown on wiki do nothing but help internet users and further trust respect wiki as a source of information and inspiration. Flexibility is a virtue, please consider for keeping the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.97.236.116 (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC) — 78.97.236.116 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep very notable,remarcable, novel. If anybody can add references please help the article to stay . Wiki has good rules as to prevent abuses but also has to have the ability to recocgnize the value of information. I see it as a ready to use know how. It is just a mater of time many will use. Wiki needs to adjust the policy , police attitude is good without excess ;-) I vote KEEP IT, SHOULD STAY HERE. It took me like an hour to figure out how to edit, participate. I see it worthwhile as I have a masters in physics, not microwaves but materials. keep it, I hope my vote it counts for readers and wiki team. Wish you the best and good work you guys are doing.

Comment. There have been several "keep" contributions from new editors. Please read Wikipedia:Single-purpose account - it is more than likely that your contributions will be treated with suspicion. If you have something to say that directly addresses the issues behind this deletion debate, please do so. The argument is that the article fails to meet some very specific wikipedia requirements of notability and verifiability. This is where should should focus your efforts. andy (talk) 09:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wilder High School

For now, let's just set aside the article's very impressive list of accomplishments and WP:GNG. The school's website in the infobox is a dead link and my browser suggests this nearby school district instead, which has no record of the school in its search.

Comment. A check of ed.gov shows a Wilder Middle/High School (grades 6 to 12) [3]. USGS calls it Wilder Junior-Senior High School. Google hits on less than reliable sources indicate this school apparently does exist. • Gene93k (talk) 22:52, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

further comment. The school district's new website here and the article's edit history indicate that Wilder High School and Wilder Middle-High School are one and the same. This school really exists and high schools almost always survive AfD. • Gene93k (talk) 23:10, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

JFHJr (㊟) 01:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking into this JFHJr, I appreciate that you are working hard to make Wikipedia a reliable reference site. Please be aware that this is an industry organization that is very well known among people who work with industrial automation systems. If you click here Google search for "Organization for Machine Automation and Control" you will see that the organization is referenced more than 12,000 times. I realize that it may seem to be a very narrow subject if you are not working in the field of industrial automation, but for people like me who are actively working in this field it is very important. Please also be aware that I am not affiliated in any way with the organization, I have no personal gain from creating their wiki page. Please also see the PackML page that is closely related to OMAC. If you want to do further research, then please call the editor of any of the industry magazines that dominate this space such as Automation World, InTech, Packaging Automation, Food Processing. You may also call any of the major automation suppliers such as Siemens Automation, Rockwell Automation, Invensys/Wonderware (the company that I am working for), ABB, GE Automation, Schneider and ask for the person responsible for industrial software product management, they will all confirm the importance of this organization. Another option to confirm the importance of the organization is to contact ISA - International Society of Automation, which I believe is the largest organization in this space. OMAC is also well known in the academic world. I know that we are all supposed to look into research, and I look forward to seeing this article being expanded in content.

For the first time since the war a party appeared outside the narrow circles of the extreme Right which was not afraid to proclaim its pride in being German.

Utopian socialists and nationalists have advocated the theory of socialism in a single country before this time. In Germany today, the theory of an “independent” national economy, which progressively diminishes its connection with world economy to the vanishing point “autarchy,” as it is called – is the reactionary ideal of Hitler’s Fascists. Marx and Engels specific ally polemicized against the idea of a national socialist utopia in all their writings.

Contested prod and redirect. Non-notable neologism, see WP:NEO, only sources are YouTube, see WP:V. Google news search shows no significant results. Standard search shows a host of unreliable sources and social media, but no significant coverage from independent reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.205.105.89 (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC) (forgive my accent) I understand you're opinion but do not share it. Animashes are reasonably popular video's, not only on Youtube, but also being shown on DeviantART and others. The first reference was TVTropes, not Youtube. this page does miss references from DeviantART and other sites where animashes are displayed though. Compare it to the term brony which means that someone is a my little pony fan while he is a male older than 14 years. That term is unofficial and not seen in independent reliable sources. But it is added to wikipedia, because everyone agrees with it.[reply]

The same is for animash video's: officially, they do not exist. Same goes for Anime Music Video. But there are so many people that know about them, that outsiders call it Animash as well. (I am just an animash fan and made 2 short videos that almost no one has ever seen), but the page is good and objective enough for me: it tells about what an animash video is, how people normally create them (I do it in the exact same way as it is being described), and it gives a lot of youtube references to actual makers of the community (and not only the strong core but also some amateurs) to show what they create. There is no this guy is awesome you should watch this in the text. If it was, then I would agree with you. User: some anonymous guy. 21:33, 12 November 2011 (WET) — 81.205.105.89 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 20:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Comment: This falls under WP:NOTNEO for neologisms. It doesn't matter how widely or not-widely it's used. It's not really recorded under reliable second party sources that talk about the term, so we can't really justify its inclusion as a page to itself at this point in time. Also, Wikipedia is not a "how to" manual. WP:NOTHOWTO The reason why AMVs have a page to themselves is because the phenomenon has been covered in reliable second party sources. Animash just isn't there yet. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Delete - The TVTropes reference seems to be the same author as Wikipedia, judging by username and spelling ("Malesian", "video's"). Otherwise this is just a lot of links to YouTube that could be the start of something notable later, or just peter out. - Ttwaring (talk) 22:13, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While there were some links on google, there wasn't anything to show that it is notable enough. I didn't find any reliable sources. At the very, VERY most this would only merit a mention on the AMV page since it appears to be a branching off of the general idea of AMVs. So far this doesn't seem to be notable enough of a phenomena to where it would merit an article of its own at this time. Even besides the lack of sources to prove notability, this article is a mess of link spam and non-notable name dropping. I removed the worst of it, but overall this is almost entirely OR. Nobody's denying that animash does seem to exist, but it just seems to be an offshoot of AMV making but isn't nearly as well documented or as notable. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Comment: Also, I don't think the term animash is as wide of a phenomenon as you claim it is. I'm a pretty frequent watcher of AMVs and I've not really seen this term dropped that often. Many people will still label their non-anime music videos with AMV rather than animash. It's too new of a term to really be included here on Wikipedia. Also, a point of note as far as namedropping goes: unless they're mentioned in a reliable second party source (ie, in an online news article and not in a blog or on youtube), they don't get mentioned here on Wikipedia.

Delete or Merge - I love Animashes (this one is my all-time favourite) but the concept as a whole isn't nearly as well known as the AMV concept. Either delete or merge to the AMV article. --Madison-chan (talk) 00:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've now included a one sentence addition to anime music video mentioning animashing with a tag for a citation to be added. There's no need to include any of the information from this article to that one since anything useful is already present and everything else isn't really encyclopedic. I'll try to do some cleaning of animash in case it does end up getting kept, but it's unsourced and would need a complete rewrite to be encyclopedic.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:47, 15 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Keep Basic and standard topic, as for other languages. There are a great many possible sources, and I wouldn't start removing entries unless checked. There is no deadline on improvements. Too many articles are being nominated here as "no improvement in X years". That's never a reason for deletion--the people nominating them would do much better to try improving them; if they try properly, and find it can not be done , then that can be a reason for deletion--depending on what the problem is. As everything here except an FA and GA could justify at least one improvement tag, --and always will, because every article here is becoming or will soon become outdated at least a little, such a criterion could remove 95% of the encyclopedia , This article was kept in 2005, and in 2007, both by very clear consensus, and I thing we might regard further nominations as disruptive.

Gathering Tree at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church

The text of the article barely refers to the subject as given in the title. It talks a lot about medical experiments but the only use in the text is that there was an Oak tree in Shiloh.

Unreferenced article about a deceased software developer. I've been unable to find coverage of this individual in reliable sources to support notability. I suggested redirecting the article to the project he worked on, but the original author objected. WP:ANYBIO, WP:MEMORIAL. Pburka (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Keeping this page would seem to me as allowing it only for a memorial page. If this individual merited a page it should have happened within the last 10+ years. As above, WP:memorial must be considered, and I believe this page is only just that. I see very little room for growth, given what I could find online, I wouldn't even consider the existing information as a stub, due to the overal lack of significance. Jab843 (talk) 21:32, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WHY? Yes, it's unreferenced because I'm not familiar with every obscure Wikipedia policy and too tired to read up on boring rules. I don't know of any references outside the funeral home's obit and some online summary of his 2000 NY UNIX Conference talk. Are those good enough? I doubt it. I know it's a wimpy article so far. I tried rallying support for others to help edit the page, but so far nobody has come forward. (I've contacted at least three leads, but none have panned out yet. It's only been three weeks (!) since I first created the page, and he only died unexpectedly less than three months ago. I'm not sure most people even know, at least old coworkers.) Besides, it's not like the article is wasting precious space on the servers. There are much more useless articles, and I'm (barely) astonished how quick people are to delete it. How about going after AC Transit Bus Fight or (related) Motherfucker pages first?? (I'm not kidding. What is important about those??) How will any decent articles ever get written if you delete them before they can mature? I don't find 90% of articles about people on Wikipedia notable, but I don't go around asking to delete their articles either. If even Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) doesn't care about biographies of software authors, who will? As for notability, he was neither a friend, coworker, nor relative of mine. I just thought he was worthy of being remembered for his accomplishments, not just for emotional reasons. But yes, his unexpected death was indeed the impetus for the article since I was surprised one didn't already exist. (I went way out of my way to add to Wikipedia here, and it's not encouraging seeing such a negative response.) Armslurp (talk) 23:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - One obvious reason we need references is verifiability. Although in this case I believe that you created the article in good faith and that the article is probably accurate, imagine if someone posted an obituary for a person who was still living. Without reliable evidence that the person is deceased Wikipedia could, in fact, be hosting content which was harmful and hurtful to the subject. Apart from the liability issue, we have a moral obligation to ensure that our content is accurate especially where it relates to living people. Pburka (talk) 14:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - If you check the original article, I did a link to the funeral home online. (Is that proof enough? Believe it or not, Find a Grave doesn't have him [yet??].) He announced being sick in April with some illness (unnamed) that "would take up all [his] time", hence his departure from the FreeDOS project (again). And that's all I knew, as I didn't want to pester him via email, until I found out via Jim Hall that he had passed away. (Still don't know the cause. I think? he had cancer years ago.) Me linking to the funeral home was hoping someone would (properly) add a photo since they had a ton for him. I didn't know the right way to insert one, so I didn't (so far), too much else on the brain. I didn't point directly to his section because I was afraid the URL was too fragile and might disappear, so just generic funeralhome.com was it. And someone very quickly deleted that (as well as a brief mention of his family, which I thought was relevant as personal/background info, sigh). No, I didn't add bagatela about him being Catholic or modeling the NY subway specifically because I figured someone would take issue with the notability of such trivia. Believe it or not, I was pretty cynical about Wikipedia already before writing the article. Good to know I was correct. Armslurp (talk) 22:20, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - The style is encyclopedic, but the article has no sources. Why should I look for sources when you should have been using them to write the article? If you think that with more time you can find some newspaper articles, or some books, magazines, etc., with the information, you can ask for Userfy. Otherwise, expect that your work will be hidden from view without an apology...now is the time to save a copy. Also, you might consider making a webpage with what you have written, he does seems to be someone that should be remembered.

Delete per nominator and per Jab. I think Armslurp's experience is directly related to his attitude that notability and sourcing are obscure policies. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a reason to keep. Any and all information about this person's accomplishments can be covered in other articles with a passing mention. Personally, I think Armslurp should go around nominating pages if they're not encyclopedic. JFHJr (㊟) 02:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: as above. I also echo JFHJr's sentiments. Far from being "boring" or "obscure," the requirement that articles be reliably sourced is front and center as Wikipedia's fundamental, irreductible core policy, and anyone who after four years on Wikipedia finds it too much effort to follow is - frankly - not an asset to the encyclopedia. (The article's creator, after all, went no more "way out of his way" to create the article than have tens of thousands of anonymous editors in creating theirs.) It is not Wikipedia's "job" to care about biographies of software authors; it is Wikipedia's remit to care about well sourced biographies of notable people. A fallacy often expressed at AfD by aggrieved article creators is that if reliable sources aren't available for their subjects, Wikipedia's rules are at fault. Wrong: if reliable sources cannot be found discussing their subjects, the subjects are not notable. Ravenswing 06:25, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall my contributions have always been very minor, and I've only created a new page twice (one very short [eventually inserted elsewhere], other an extremely useless Talk: page). I didn't remember even doing that until rechecking since it was so trivial. So no, I haven't had decent practice adding references, pictures, etc. I expected someone with more experience to help with these things eventually (coming weeks), but apparently not. As for being an asset, I can't help but wonder how you think deleting non-notable articles trumps those who actually write them. BTW, when I say "out of my way", I mean that I took the initiative to learn a bit about the author, create a decent (IMO) start of a page, and email a few people to weakly attempt to get outside contributors. The FreeDOS Wikipedia page already linked to his (blank) page for who knows how long, and I was initially surprised he didn't have one with any content. Yes, I think Wikipedia is at fault, not because the article is perfect as-is but because I don't see the problem. Why would anybody complain about an extra (very small) article? It's not doing any harm. But alas, a bio of a real human being isn't notable. I'm sorry his (past) life offends you guys so much. Armslurp (talk) 22:20, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's not that anyone's saying the guy offends their sensibilities, just that there's a protocol that absolutely must be followed as far as articles go, both in creating them as well as deleting them. You have to have reliable sources to prove that someone is notable as far as Wikipedia is concerned. It's good that you showed initiative, but this just falls short of what would be considered notable on Wikipedia. You also can't rely on other people to fill in the blanks and provide reliable sources that would prove notability and keep the article around. Unless it's something or someone that's very much in the public eye (ala Lindsay Lohan or American Horror Story), always assume that you will be the only one searching for sources and information to improve the article. Also, the best way to be taken seriously is to try to act calmly and maturely. I understand that you're upset that your article is up for deletion, but we've all had stuff get deleted, reverted, or Afc declined. It's just a way of life here on Wikipedia. If you really want to save the information that badly, I highly suggest looking into seeing if you can userfy the page. (WP:USERFY) That would allow you to keep the page on your own namespace and work on it until it's good enough to have a page on Wikipedia proper. As far as "it's just a tiny page", that's not really a valid argument. If we made an exception for this page then we'd have to make an exception for everyone who states that and then we'd have a lot of pages that wouldn't even begin to have any sort of notability to them.

    - No objection to userfying here. Ravenswing 12:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Reply: As it happens, I've created over sixty articles and have over 30,000 edits, which has required quite a bit of work over the years. I just don't consider that to be "out of my way" or requiring initiative to the point that I'd demand special treatment - if I didn't want to do the work, I wouldn't have done the work, and no editor gets special treatment here, from the top of the contribution list down to a newcomer making his or her first edit. The problem is quite simple: Wikipedia requires that articles be properly sourced, and likewise requires that articles that cannot be properly sourced be removed. If the article creator feels aggrieved and "cynical" because Wikipedia has standards subjects must meet in order to qualify for articles, I'm sure he could take his work to the Encyclopedia Britannica or to World Book Encyclopedia and see if they're more lenient than Wikipedia is. Ravenswing 02:19, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Okay, new creator who is buried under Wikipedia's massive rules edifice and no sources showing = no verifiability. We can all agree on that. Now let's take a fresh look and see if this is an individual who meets General Notability Guidelines, shall we? I've got THIS INDICATION that the individual existed, that he was a "Compaq Unix Software Engineer" important enough to be a speaker at a New York computer group in Nov. 2000. Carrite (talk) 17:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Villani was the author of the 2001 book Programming Win32 under the API. Carrite (talk) 17:35, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Villani seems to have been the developer of something called FreeDOS Kernel, an MS-DOS emulator, PER THIS. Carrite (talk) 17:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So far, none of those sources have any relevance to the GNG, which holds that a subject is considered notable if he is discussed in "significant detail" in multiple reliable sources. Ravenswing 17:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(EC: not directed towards the above) Which brings me to Wikipedia's page on DOS, which notes: "The FreeDOS project began 26 June 1994, when Microsoft announced it would no longer sell or support MS-DOS. Jim Hall then posted a manifesto proposing the development of an open-source replacement. Within a few weeks, other programmers including Pat Villani and Tim Norman joined the project. A kernel, the command.com command line interpreter (shell) and core utilities were created by pooling code they had written or found available. There were several official pre-release distributions of FreeDOS before the FreeDOS 1.0 distribution was released on 3 September 2006. Made available under the GNU General Public License (GPL), FreeDOS does not require license fees or royalties." Now look, there's not a single damned thing so far that counts as a "reliable source," but if you aren't getting very uneasy by now that this is a possibly an important freeware pioneer, you aren't paying attention... Carrite (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Or that we haven't seen any cites saying so, which is the only factor which matters, as you know perfectly well. Speculating as to the fellow's importance because he's listed as a developer on a project is just that - speculation - and we can infer nothing from it. Failing the GNG, the only other applicable criteria are those of WP:CREATIVE, but the bar is set pretty high there, and it's near-to-impossible to pass WP:CREATIVE without satisfying the GNG. Ravenswing 17:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, checking the criteria given at WP:CREATIVE, I see points 1 and 3 applying to our case here. Pat has been important for the FreeDOS project, and if you check the various freedos-user and freedos-devel(oper) discussion forums (some of them are online, but this may not be the case for all the older discussions in the 1990s - I do have archives, but can't access them easily now). He is frequently named and cited in there by co-developers. This, beyond any doubts, proves WP:CREATIVE point 1, not because these were "reliable sources" as is, but simply because they exist. Nobody will question the existance of FreeDOS and these mailing lists. Also, it is without any question, that he was the sole developer and contributor of the original version of the FreeDOS kernel, and, with other developers, continued to work on it over many years. Nobody needs a reliable source to prove simply facts like this, because it is obvious, beyond any doubt. Anyone can look this up in the source code archives, if he likes. This is equivalent to the example given in WP:OR, that Paris is the capital of France. This is obvious and it is, as per WP policies, enough to assume that the fact is verifyable ("a source exists"). It is not necessary to actually bring forward sources for this. The ultimative proof of facts is the source code of the operating system. The discussions in the mailing lists can be seen as mere "reflections" on this, and it doesn't matter that mailing lists are not reliable sources, if the topics discussed there are about facts, which are beyond any doubt.

WP:CREATIVE point 3 applies at least to some extent, the person has created and played a major role in co-creating a significant and well-known work and collective body of work, FreeDOS. Besides Villani's own book about FreeDOS, the operating system has also been covered in other books (I think, I even have one of them in my library - will have to recheck this). The FreeDOS product / work also has been the subject of many thousands reviews in the net and (understandably to a much lesser extent) in printed magazines, and whenever there was an abstract about the system's history, Pat Villani is briefly named as the original author of the kernel. I would not count most of these reports as reliable sources in the WP sense, but again, reliable sources are not needed to proof obvious facts, such as 1 + 1 = 2, or Paris is the capital of France, or the FreeDOS kernel was originally developed by Pat Villani. It is enough to assume verifyability, and verifyabilty exists in the source code which is freely available to anyone to look at (although non-developers probably won't be able to make much sense of it).

WP:ANYBIO point 2 may apply here as well, although it is a bit too early for historians to write about DOS. ;-) (There was some coverage, when DOS became 25, and typically FreeDOS was mentioned there as well as a newer alternative to MS-DOS.) But if historians will do so in the future, FreeDOS will clearly be one of the DOS operating systems discussed alongside MS-DOS, PC DOS and DR-DOS, and if authors / developers will be mentioned, it is clear that Pat Villani will have to be named as the original author of DOS-C, which became the FreeDOS kernel, just as Tim Paterson will have to be named as the original author of 86-DOS, the operating system which became MS-DOS. There wasn't really much original or innovative in this work of Paterson, 86-DOS was basically a (rather buggy) clone of CP/M (which was originally designed and developed by Gary Kildall, a major innovator of the industry, who influenced the core design of operating systems and compilers up to the present). 86-DOS/MS-DOS had many drawbacks compared to CP/M, but it was cheaper and also came with some notable improvements, such as a different buffering logic and the introduction of the FAT12 filesystem (which, however, was actually based on prior work by Marc McDonald). Nevertheless, the product became important by circumstances and so became Tim Paterson as its original author. In analogy, there wasn't really much new in DOS-C/FreeDOS, an operating system with the intended goal to be a clone/emulator of MS-DOS. However, FreeDOS became important because it was free and open-source and stepped in when MS-DOS was abandoned (with the only other alternative being DR-DOS, arguably much more advanced in compatibility, stability and feature set, but a commercial product and closed-sourced). While not 100% compatible, for many applications, where DOS was and still is used today, FreeDOS is "good enough" (and in the tools/utilities department, it is even much better than MS-DOS). Finally, the fact, that a DOS kernel was successfully written in a high-level language such as C, is innovative and original, and this must be attributed to Pat Villani.

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I had a look in my lib and besides Villani's own book on FreeDOS "FreeDOS kernel - An MS-DOS Emulator for Platform Independence & Embedded Systems Development", I found both FreeDOS and DOSEMU to be covered in numerous places in the book "The Multi-Boot Configuration Handbook" by Roderick W. Smith, published in 2000 by Que, ISBN 9780789722836. Villani isn't mentioned explicitly, but neither are any other people. As per WP:CREATIVE, if the work is covered in reliable sources, this makes its original creator ("a person who has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work") likely to be notable as well. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:41, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should explain why a DOS kernel being written in C instead of assembly language is important and quite an achievement, given that many other operating systems are written in high-level languages and nobody recognizes this as something special. The reason, why this is much more difficult for a DOS kernel, is that most "serious" DOS programs do not only use the documented APIs (which can be easily emulated), but retrieve and change data in internal data structures of the operating system. In some cases, software even starts patching code sections in the runtime image of the DOS kernel - Windows, for example, is known to do this to quite some extent. For this to work, even intrinsical details deep inside the DOS kernel become important to be properly emulated. This goes down to the exact memory layout and order of internal data structures and tables, calling conventions of internal functions, and the emulation of exact opcode strings in various locations. Once it is known, that some application depends or modifies such DOS internals, it is "relatively" easy to emulate this in assembly language, but in a high-level language such as C you do not normally have any control over the machine level representation. These problems do not occur in most modern operating systems, since their applications do not (and cannot) normally use internal structures of the operating system and communicate only via officially documented methods, but it is an integral part of the "business" under DOS. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 10:53, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Comment - I'm ultimately not seeing anything that gets this article subject over the GNG bar. There might be a few biographical bits that can be merged to FreeDOS, such as Mr. Villani's dates. There might be a case that this was a key software pioneer, but I'm frankly out of my element. My condolences to Mr. Villani's family and friends for their recent loss, deletion does not indicate Mr. Villani's life or work is dismissed as unimportant, only that there is insufficient substantial and independently published source material to support an article according to Wikipedia's long-established notability guidelines. Carrite (talk) 17:59, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Striking Delete recommendation. I have a hunch that this is an individual worthy of encyclopedic biography, despite being unable to find sourcing myself. Carrite (talk) 16:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- No Contest - I'm over the five stages of grief at this point. So I accept whatever Wikipedia decides. (It's not like I have a choice either.) I just watched the page like a hawk and kept expecting people to add to it, and nobody did. And then it was nominated for deletion (only three weeks later, which I thought was exceedingly short) and pretty much immediately redirected to FreeDOS, which literally said nothing about him except his name. (In fact, as mentioned, the link was already there, just to a blank page; same for Tim Norman, whom I know literally nothing about.) I just don't understand how anybody thinks you can inline anything about Pat himself into the FreeDOS article without being majorly off-topic. "FreeDOS was based upon DOS-C, a rewritten GPL version of DOS/NT (once used commercially for 68000 machines) by Pasquale "Pat" Villani, a competent OS engineer from New Jersey who used to work at DEC/Compaq and later at Vonage when not modeling the NY subway system or doing amateur ham radio or attending St. Robert Bellarmine church." (Seems a bit long and off-topic if all you care about is FreeDOS. And that's obviously excluding dates, mailing list archives, technotes, etc., which I seem to gather aren't really notable sources.) I guess if I actually owned the FreeDOS book I could hope (?) it had some relevant bio info on him to quote from. But sadly, I don't think a funeral home online is considered a reliable source, and certainly NY Unix conference sounds good, but I wasn't personally there. (Look, I already admitted on freedos-user that I probably wasn't the guy to write the article, but since nobody else even pretended to volunteer, I had to do something. Unfortunately, I seriously didn't know anybody would complain ... as long as I could get others to help eventually.) The simple truth is that FreeDOS isn't as popular as Linux by a long shot, maybe if it was called PatDOS or something. And nobody thought he'd die so young, so I guess he was just majorly overlooked by mainstream media. Alas. Anyways, yes, it should probably go on a private website and not Wikipedia if you guys don't want it. Armslurp (talk) 18:48, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - P.S. Not to pick on you guys too hard, but "long-established" seems a stretch. The very first (anonymous) 2002 revision of the FreeDOS article literally only says this (and took almost two years before reaching over 1 kb): "An open source DOS initiated by Jim Hall. http://www.freedos.org/". It's hard for me to match such quality. :-)
Keep - Pat Villani has been the original author of what later, in 1994, became the kernel of FreeDOS, the core component of the operating system. For those who don't know, this is the equivalent of what is called IO.SYS/MSDOS.SYS in MS-DOS, IBMBIO.COM/IBMDOS.COM in PC DOS, and DRBIOS.SYS/DRBDOS.SYS in DR-DOS. FreeDOS, a free and open-source MS-DOS compatible operating system, had a huge impact on the industry and is still being actively developed and used in many places today (although it is not a mainstream OS, and, if used in embedded systems, it is not immediately visible to end-users). Without Pat's contribution and continued maintenance of the kernel over many years, FreeDOS would hardly have had the success it has.

Pat started to develop his operating system in the late 1980s as a vehicle for the development of device drivers. IIRC, it was called XDOS in ca. 1988, NSS-DOS in 1991, and DOS/NT in 1992. It was not originally designed for Intel x86 processors, but for Motorola 68000 CPUs (which have a completely different instruction set). However, because he wrote his OS in the C high-level-language, it was easily portable across different system architectures. His system was therefore called DOS-C, when it became part of the FreeDOS project (still called "Free-DOS Alpha 1") in ca. October 1994.

While the front-end API to applications was inspired by the MS-DOS API, the originally contributed version, though functional as is, was only loosly compatible with MS-DOS programs. Lots of internal data structures were completely different from those found in the MS-DOS kernel, so misbehaving programs did not run. However, prior to the integration of DOS-C into the FreeDOS project, this hasn't been a problem, because Pat didn't intend to run out-of-the-box DOS programs on his OS, but develop his own applications and drivers for it. Nevertheless, for FreeDOS, it now was a requirement to load existing DOS drivers and run DOS applications without recompilation, so over the course of the years lots of things were changed in the kernel and gradually the FreeDOS kernel became more and more MS-DOS compatible.

Back in 1994/1995 or so, I still remember discussions with Pat and others, where I stated, that an operating system written in a high-level language will never be able to become 100% MS-DOS compatible, since too many undocumented "hacks" are necessary to achieve full MS-DOS compatibility and support dirty applications, which cannot be emulated easily in a high-level language (MS-DOS, PC DOS and DR-DOS are all written in x86 assembler), and also because the output of a compiler is much less efficient as professionally written hand-optimized assembler code, and this counts quite a bit under DOS. While I still think that this statement holds true, FreeDOS has meanwhile reached a level of compatibility, I would not have expected. Been written in C has probably also been a factor in attracting more developers and make debugging much easier.

So, if FreeDOS is notable, Pat Villani is as well. The article will clearly need more work and references, but this is just a matter of time. FWIW, I can personally confirm the FreeDOS stuff written there to be fact, and I think I have recently read the bio details in his obituary, but I would have to recheck this. Also, I own his book "The FreeDOS kernel", and while I don't have the time to cite from it right now, I may do so later on. Therefore I recommend to not delete this article stub, but to keep and improve it. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 20:22, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- YIKES! Matthias, it's you! (This guy also heavily deserves his own page, at least for his DR-DOS experience.) You're mostly correct, of course, but I count five to two, so I think we lose. :-( --2011-11-15T23:25:31‎ Armslurp

Blush. ;-)

AfD is not a voting process. If it can be reasonably shown, that the subject meets WP's criteria of notability, a single recommendation to keep should be enough. At least in my book, a key developer of an operating system, which is used on uncountable desktop and embedded machines worldwide, is quite notable. And Pat was not only that, but also one of the "fathers" of FreeDOS and for several years the project leader. From the arguments brought forward above, I seem to understand that it wasn't really clear what exactly "FreeDOS" and a "kernel" is and what role and impact Pat might have had in the project. With the additional information given here we might have helped the others to get a better picture on this already. I don't think it would be too difficult to find references to back up the stuff mentioned in the article, it would just need some effort to note everything down. I seem to remember there were also some articles in the printed press mentioning him when FreeDOS 1.0 was released, but it may take a while to track them down. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 00:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But for completeness, here's a rough Pat-related timeline (from what little I can gather from random searching on Google and Google Groups' comp.os.msdos.misc archives):

sometime in 1994 - MS claims to soon discontinues stand-alone MS-DOS in favor of Win95 (aka, MS-DOS 7.0 + Win 4.0 bundled)

June? 1994 - Jim Hall starts P.D. DOS project and publishes some utils (and manifesto, compatibility, todo, etc.) but no kernel yet

Nov. 1994 - Pat donates DOS/NT kernel as "non-commercial" closed source

May 1995 - Free-DOS alpha 3 released (now with Pat's GPL'd DOS-C kernel)

Aug. 1996 - _FreeDOS Kernel_ is published (in paper form)

1996? - DOSEMU [Hans Lerman?] succeeds in adapting to work with DOS-C kernel (instead of only proprietary MS,PC,DR)

1996? 1997? Caldera's OpenDOS isn't really "open" enough for most people (soon closed)

July 1997 - Pat defends GPL'd Free-DOS' bugginess, esp. since he works on it for free ("hundreds of hours")

the printed book made little money, took him "two years to write" (for personal gratification)

but he still has a day job working as (unnamed, DEC Tru64??) OS engineer

1998? - FreeDOS beta1

2001? - Pat leaves the project (colon cancer? and?) "disgusted with the bozos"

2001 - FreeDOS beta5, beta6, beta7

April 2002 - FreeDOS beta8 (last to have premade full floppy install set images)

IIRC still using Pat's very slow floppy accessing code

2003 - OpenWatcom 1.0 (which supports all DOS-specific compilation models, can build kernel)

2006 - FreeDOS 1.0 final (MS-DOS compatible) finally released

?? - dunno, I had never been in contact with him until Jim went on extended hiatus in 2009

which is when Pat stepped in again as head (and I really only barely jumped in after 2006)

2009 - Pat rejoins FreeDOS as head, lots of ideas (and notes), though no major release

(still lots of little updates, but there is little coordination, volunteers are extremely scarce)

April 2011 - Pat gets sick (unknown cause) and publicly leaves, Jim returns

late 2011 - some unfinished 1.1 test#3 work, Pat dies, not much else :-( --2011-11-15T23:31:20‎ Armslurp

Comment: I'm tempted to suggest that we sit on this one, to see whether there are obituaries published in the next couple of months. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In comments to other statements above I have given some explanation why I find this subject to be notable although it does not seem to be easy to find a reliable source directly supporting Villani's notability in short time. My argumentation above is an indirect one along the line that FreeDOS is a notable work (proved formally) and Villani as the original developer of the FreeDOS kernel has thereby become notable as well (or "is likely to be notable" as WP:CREATIVE puts it). Nevertheless, it would be better to have reliable sources directly mentioning him, not only his work - they may exist, but I could not find them online so far. It has been suggested to wait a while to see if it will be covered in the press once the "news" spreads. It has also been suggested to merge the contents into the FreeDOS article (or user page) and redirect Pat Villani to FreeDOS, something I would support as well if the Villani article would otherwise be deleted, however, I would still prefer it to remain a separate article with a scope different from what can be done in the FreeDOS article. As I see it, his biographical details would hardly belong in the FreeDOS article, and we may be able to flesh this out a little over time. The Villani article could also have a short section on how DOS-C came into existance and later became the FreeDOS kernel, and it could discuss Villani's achievement in developing a DOS-compatible kernel in a high-level language such as C (instead of in assembly language, which would have been a more natural choice from the viewpoint of DOS system-level development). Nevertheless, I don't envision the article to ever become longer than perhaps one or two pages, unless Villani would be known also for other public achievements besides his fundamental involvement with FreeDOS. I can't comment on this, as I knew him from the FreeDOS project only. If the article is not deleted, I would be willing to contribute some bits to it over the course of months and add some references, but it might be a wasted effort for as long as a Damocles sword such as AfD hangs above the article. Therefore, I'd like to learn the other commentors' view on this, especially those who suggested a deletion. Do you still strictly feel the article should be deleted or do you now, with possibly a bit more background on Villani's involvement with FreeDOS, see some form of notability (although it would still require some degree of goodwill in the interpretation of the policies as it stands so far)? --Matthiaspaul (talk) 15:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, perhaps I have found what we're looking for (but it's not online any more, unfortunately). At the time FreeDOS 1.0 was released in 2006, FreeDOS was also covered in the news - online, broadcasted and in printed press. One news on FreeDOS explicitly mentioning Pat Villani as the original author of the kernel seems to have been broadcasted in ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen), one of Germany's national public-sector television channel, on 2006-10-21. Google's cache still reveals a snippet of what appears to have been online, "Der Welt ein Debüt geben", heute.de Nachrichten, ZDFheute.de: "Dann meldete sich ein Entwickler, Pat Villani, der schon mal einen DOS-Kernel namens "DOS/NT" geschrieben hatte und bereit war, ihn freizugeben", which seems to have been online under the following link (but has been removed meanwhile): [17]]. I haven't seen it myself, so I cannot comment on it, but it obviously mentioned Villani. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 16:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Userfy Even if we agree that the software engineer is sufficiently notable (WP:N), the article still has zero sources. You would have an article with no verifiable (WP:V) content. As far as the possibility of "some degree of goodwill", anything is possible, we even have a policy called WP:IAR, which means that we always allow for the possibility of ignoring all of the rules. But for whatever reason Wikipedia attracts people whose focus in life is getting articles here deleted. In addition the administrators have a huge work-load in deleting literally thousands of articles on a daily basis created by people all over the world for the vaguest of reasons, and as a group they get to the point that they have little interest in seeing the silver lining in the cloud. Your willingness to work on the article over the course of months suggests that you ask for incubate or userfy. Unscintillating (talk) 16:40, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In the hope I can address most of raised issues, in particular to give evidence of notability, I have meanwhile started to improve and expand the article and added various references as well (perhaps not the best possible ones, but for most of the important facts there is more than a single source and I did my best to cross-check the sources to be accurate). There is at least one series of published articles still to be added, and I am trying to track down more patents as he held more than just the two I found so far. Another area to look at is his role as maintainer of his "Linux for Windows 95" distribution and his early source code contributions to the Free Software Foundation/Richard Stallman. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

International Paint

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

Article about a paint company. The only independent reference supplied, the book "Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings" does not contain any reference to "International Paint" according to a search on Google Books, so seems completely unrelated. This leaves only one reference to the company's website, which is not a independent, published source. So the notability of this subject has not been established. Sparthorse (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[18] Phil Bridger (talk) 16:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding the specific reference. However, I don't think this is referring to the same company. According to the article, the company International Paint was founded by brothers called Holzapfel in 1881. The reference is to a company called International Paint and Compositions Company founded by someone called Hartzman. If you look at [19] which is, I believe, the subject of the article, I think it is clear these are different companies. If we could get further references, it might be easier to tell. Sparthorse (talk) 17:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The specific reference, with the page number, was already in the article, and if you read it a bit more carefully you will see that the International Paint and Compositions Company was founded by someone called Holzapfel with someone called Hartzman. If you then, as I suggested when I contested the WP:PROD tag, use Google Books searches you will find that the International Paint and Compositions Company was later renamed to International Paint and acquired by Akzo. I have no interest in spending my time expanding this article, but it is pretty clear that plenty of sources exist that can be used by others to do so. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Can't say about "Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings" but search by Google Books gives several results confirming the fact which was referenced by "Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings". There is also a number of search results by Google Books and Google News. Did you checked these before nominating this article for AfD? Beagel (talk) 17:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. To explain the notability of the company, I have augmented the article with a historic paragraph (with public refs), outlining the long history of the company, indicating the importance of International to the Tyne and Wear industrial area. I'm searching for public references into paint markets, which can clarify the huge size of the company (by far the largest) in its field. I expect help for the group of volunteers later this week.

Unfortunately links or references to articles in the journal are not an assertion of its notability.

I think it would be highly unfair to even include this article for deletion. It would be a great disservice to the very cause for which Wikipedia stands. I have read the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) criteria and I strongly feel that he meets not just one, which is the minimum required, but at least three or four--- no 1, 4, 5, and 6. Dr K M Tiwary retired as the Professor and head of the department of English of Patna University in early nineties. After that he has been working as the professor in various universities in Yemen till date, some reference for which has been given in the article. He also had worked as a professor in Some university in Iraq in the early part of his career, though this is not mentioned in the article. The very fact he has worked as a professor not just in a reputed university in India but has still been working (he must be nearing 80 now) in a university in Taiz in Yemen, that some of his articles published in international journals and his books are being quoted by the linguists the world over (the reference for which are available in the article) should be enough to close this discussion.

Keep: Criteria 1 - Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Culture by J Sherzer American Anthropologist, 1987, 235 citations. The metadescription from a Google Scholar search says, "I draw this example from a short article by KM Tiwary dealing with a grammatical process widespread in India and beyond, known as the echo-word construction (Tiwary 1968). The language Tiwary describes is Bhojpuri, spoken in northern India." Saw a few other works like this but with less than 20 citations. This one so far has the highest number of citations from an independent reliable source. For instance, Social structure and peer terminology in a black adolescent gang by T Labov, Language in Society 1982, Cambridge University Press with 17 citations. The Google Scholar metadescription goes like this, "Diagrams I made of the Jets and other street clubs have already been used in linguistic studies of urban black English (see W. Labov, Cohen, Robins ... where the initial element of the tag is a proper name, such as in "Bell and 'em." Tiwary (1968) described a tag with a somewhat ..." There are more like this, of course.

Comment and question the fact that a photographer is mostly self-published is by the way. (Kiyoshi Suzuki was almost exclusively self-published yet nobody knowledgable would dispute his importance.)

Comment – I wasn't absolutely knocking SPS, but we can't base a BLP on it. His self-publications were most of what was turning up as far as any publication about the subject. As far as reliable sources go, self-publications certainly are no more reliable because he's an artist. Someone else should have said something about Break or commented on Break's own SPS. JFHJr (㊟) 17:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't been thinking of self-published sourcing. Of course you're right: sources must be disinterested. But as for self-published books (not used for sourcing), he says he has three books out at blurb.com. The last time I looked, [redlinked] Rafał Milach had two books out at blurb.com and only the promise of a third book from an apparently conventional publisher (Kehrer); but actually Kehrer, like most respectable photobook publishers, wants money from the photographer, and Milach merits a WP article on the strength of the commentary on his first blurb.com book (Black Sea of Concrete) alone. ¶ On the respective merits of Break versus Milach, I'm not sure that I have a comment but am sure that this wouldn't be the right place to utter it. On their relative degree of "notability" (as the word is used within WP), I think I can say that Milach is some way ahead. -- Hoary (talk) 22:43, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable company. Tinton5 (talk) 07:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hillcrest Labs invented a new technology that is changing the way people use television. According to Wikipedia's policy on notability, "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources." Hillcrest Labs has received significant coverage for its technology in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many other influential publications, as cited in the article. The company has also won multiple awards for its technology. There is no evidence to support the claim of non-notability.Accurastic (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: IMHO, a very sloppy nomination. The first two references cited are substantial articles, about the subject, from the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal respectively; that's all that's needed to hit the GNG, and no one would need to look over the substantial article about the subject from PC Magazine, for instance. Did the nom even attempt to look at the sources present in the article at the time he filed the AfD?

I actually got a higher number by a few thousand using the same search method. Think the content of those photos is something on which to base notability? Plus, I'm pretty sure image hits don't figure into notability per wikipedia anyway. These images certainly don't count as in-depth coverage even if you can literally see all there is to the subject. Part of the reason is that they're published by WP:SPS and other encyclopedically unreliable sources. The other part is that they just don't give us anything of note or substance to say. Practically, I imagine it would be hard to muster prose about the number and content, based on google searches of the interwebs at some particular time.

Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:49, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant keep. It's a ridiculous guideline, but it states that one game in the majors is enough to establish notability. I don't agree with it, but that's what we're stuck with. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:54, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~HRRRRRGH Keep~~ Delete per IAR. I really, really want to invoke WP:IAR and just delete this ~~but I agree with Cullen's sentiments, not to mention the very clear wording of WP:MLB/N.

I have changed my mind based on 1) A good-faith and unsuccessful effort to search for any possible explanation for Shaver's leave from the Oakland A's (The only meaningful content outside of his Oakland stats that I could find was this info/brief comments on his minor league stats) and 2) JFHJr's comments below. Clarityfiend and JFH have both acknowledged that notability guidelines should not act as absolutes, and I believe this is just one of those cases. I don't think the guideline is doing Wikipedia any particular favors for this particular article. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 08:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – You'd think in a real encyclopedia, this would garner a footnote. Here, he'll be a stub until he ever does anything else. While I'm inclined to agree with the emerging consensus, might it be helpful to interpret notability guidelines as permissive, but not compulsory? That, and as Jethro points out, there's WP:IAR in case the rules don't serve wikipedia well. JFHJr (㊟) 08:54, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not sure I understand why his departure from the A's major league roster should require an explanation. MLB rosters are quite fluid, and players are promoted from and demoted to the minor leagues every day for a multitude of reasons, not all of which are related to performance. Can you clarify? -Dewelar (talk) 04:47, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, there might have been a presumption from Cullen that news sources exist explaining why there was a quick leave from the roster, and might support the notability of the individual. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 20:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – This is a borderline case, but only because of a guideline. The actual notability of this subject isn't met even though some guidelines are met. He doesn't seem likely to gain significantly in notability in the future (but if he did, the article could be undeleted). If there's really a consensus to the contrary, I'd live with that, obviously.

Keep Per WP:BASE/N. There's a reason MLB players have a presumption of notability, in that they will have had enough of a career between majors, minors, and amateur play to accumulate enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. If Shaver had never played baseball at any other level (e.g., someone like Eddie Gaedel, who is notable for reasons beyond simply the fact that he played one game), I could see a justification for invoking WP:IAR, but it's just not so. -Dewelar (talk) 18:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it shouldn't be discounted. There is obvious consensus here that is clearly going to win out, but I made a perfectly reasonable argument. Equating my argument as a WP:IDONTLIKEIT is a mischaracterization. WP:IAR is a reasonable, policy-based argument. Strictly follow this notability guideline for baseball players in this case seems senseless to me and doesn't improve Wikipedia. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 07:51, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:WIARM, it's not about whether following the rule isn't improving Wikipedia, it's about whether ignoring the rule would improve Wikipedia -- a subtle but crucial distinction. I don't see how your argument (or anyone else's) above addresses this. -Dewelar (talk) 09:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And also per WP:WIARM, following the spirit of the rules trumps the letter of rule. Multiple authors, even one support to keep the article, have expressed reluctance, because this individual doesn't seems to fit the spirit of the rule of notability for baseball players. And last time I checked, following rules that don't improve Wikipedia (i.e. it adds nothing valuable, or hurts the project) is exactly why WP:IAR was made, and it is why I am using it and my observations in this deletion discussion to support my reasoning. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 09:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right. However, in order to invoke WP:IAR, you have to show why following the rule hurts the project in this particular instance, which you have thus far failed to do. You've just stated that it does. That's why others are claiming that it appears to simply be a WP:IDONTLIKEIT-based argument. Neither you nor JFHJr have made any statements regarding why the presumption of notability for MLB players doesn't apply here. Indeed, the article has been expanded with additional sourcing since its nomination. If anything, this AfD has shown why the rule should be followed, as it shows that even someone who only barely meets WP:BASE/N is likely to pass WP:GNG with little difficulty. -Dewelar (talk) 16:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because this baseball player isn't notable, and the guideline is being poorly applied. The source additions to the profile are just more stats, a Fredonia State Baseball website which is not independent of the subject, and a high school website with questionable reliability (e.g. saying that Shaver "played" for the Oakland A's for six years is extremely misleading). Some of the expansions deal with his minor league career. WP:IAR requires judgment calls, and I have made one-- Shaver's accomplishments wouldn't make it into a normal encyclopedia and it shouldn't make it into Wikipedia, either. You can call it WP:IDONTLIKEIT all you want, but that completely misrepresents my arguments. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 20:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason WP:BASE/N exists in the first place as a supplement to WP:GNG is that much of the coverage that would establish a player's notability is not readily accessible -- The Sporting News, for example, is available only through subscription, and not all newspapers have extensive online archives. Since notability does not degrade over time, a baseball player who played one game in the majors in 1988 is, via WP:BASE/N, presumed to be just as notable as one who did so in the age of easy digital access. It's a legitimate -- and, I would argue, necessary -- assumption to make.

You are correct that the school web sites are not necessarily reliable on the topic of his professional career, but the information for which they are used as a source is his performance as an amateur, for which I would call them reliable secondary sources.

Finally, if your standard is whether something would make it into a "normal encyclopedia" (by which I presume you mean something like the Encyclopedia Britannica and not a general baseball encyclopedia, as I have several examples of the latter on my bookshelf, all of which contain an entry for Shaver), then perhaps 95% (possibly more) of all Wikipedia articles should be deleted. Is that the position you're taking? -Dewelar (talk) 21:28, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not my position. Notability is not the only reason why there are content differences between Wikipedia and traditional encyclopedias. One other reason is because traditional encyclopedias are written by experts in the field willing to do so and a small editorial staff. Obviously, there are issues of space in print editions, but even online edition have a great deal of editorial oversight that slows the process of adding new content. Anyway, I'm done with this, and I've bludgeoned this issue enough. My opinion is not gaining consensus, and there are more important things to do.

I agree that guidelines are not hard and fast rules but I disagree that the argument you provided for not following the guideline in this case is a good one. Just because information on why his A's career abruptly ended is not readily available is not a reason to ignore the guideline. The same would apply to most 1 game or even a few game major leaguers. In all likelihood, no explanation for his short stay was particularly necessary because someone better became available to the team (either a player got healthy, they were able to trade for someone or pick up someone off waivers, or just decided to go with a different minor league call up).

Know I now many couplings have fanbases but I do believe that theirs is notable especially considering that they have been togethered 3 times in the past three years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sashak90 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Popular Flipnote Creators

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

This is unencyclopedic content. It's a list of individuals with limited notability of the concept itself. The phenomenon can be mentioned in the Flipnote Studio article but there's no reason to have a list of the individual creators on wikipedia. Shadowjams (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I could change it a bit to make List of Popular Flipnote Creators more encyclopedic. I am knowledgeable in the subject. I even participate in Flipnote Hatena. But, how do you make a article encyclopedic? Greenble (talk) 03:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is, to be honest, not very encyclopedic. We don't have a list of top players on the Sony game networks or any other various game/entertainment area, so this isn't needed or encyclopedic, especially since this is a list that would probably change often as new people slide into the top ranks of popularity. Flipnote Hatena is notable (not arguing that), but that notability doesn't extend to the users of that application. (Not to mention that this would be open to users potentially adding themselves or their personal favorite users onto the list claiming that they're popular in their particular FH niche.) Please see WP:NOT for what doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Delete - This doesn't meet the standard for what is notable. This seems too much like a list of top scorers on a video or computer game. Such lists are transitory and doesn't meet the criteria for notability under ordinary circumstances. If a flipbook creator or a flipbook animation had some sort of notability that extended beyond Hatena (ie, was featured in a TV show or documentary, got written up in a magazine or newspaper, or had commercial or critical success as an artist that was noted outside of Flipbook Hatena) then that would be notable and worthy of inclusion on the Flipbook Studio page itself.OckRaz ^talk 10:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and then Redirect to Ray Comfort#Film. While seen as controversial, the film is verifiable and not only in Christian media and websites. I agree that sources are problematic in the current version, and the film lacks notability for a separate article.

Keep and continue improvements, as it does need more. I've changed my mind after beginning some sandblasting and cleanup to begin neutralizing and sourcing the article.[36] More to do, yes... but such is an addressable issue, specially as not all available sources are blogs, not all sources promote the film, and many of the available sources are reliable.[37] Editors should simply not use those that are not. As the film is released, and is receiving commentary and review in enough suitable secondary sources, we do have a meeting of WP:NF and WP:GNG.
