Western Azerbaijan (political concept)

edit

Western Azerbaijan (political concept) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

According to google books, Notability cannot be established. Probably this concept/name is Original research.

Sources that was used in the article, have no direct relation with "Western Azerbaijan (political concept)". So sources don't prove notability of "Western Azerbaijan (political concept)".

  • Keep This delete nomination is ungrounded. If you cant find the name in google books it doesnt mean you can nominate an article for deletion. This article has plenty of sources but it doesnt suit Takabeg's personal view, however that is not an argument for deletion. But even your argument regarding the sources do not stand. Why are you even searching for Yeraz? "Western Azerbaijan" has plenty of academic sources - 1600 to be exact. Also search Armenia "Western Azerbaijan" - this show you additional sources. For example this source on page 30 mentions: "Western Azerbaijan to eastern Turkey, including many Armenian regions." Neftchi (talk) 08:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is a source that you mentioned this one (Lonely Planet) ? Takabeg (talk) 10:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You havent addressed my arguments. The fact remains that you cant just nominate an article for deletion for its title. The lead clearly says its a political concept used in Azerbaijan, as can be seen in various official Azerbaijani sources: [1], [2], etc. So its not original research but a phrase used in Azerbaijan even by its officials. Aside that the body text has plenty of sources and you just want to throw everything in the bin. Thats against Wiki regulations, so consider this a warning. Neftchi (talk) 20:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note This article was nominated for a deletion before in October 2010 and it was declined. So this second nomination really has no ground. See here for the earlier declination. Neftchi (talk) 15:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article was kept after prior deletion proposal, as mentioned above, so no ground for renomination. And there are sufficient sources to establish the geographical application. Atabəy (talk) 18:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. I have little doubt that such an irredentist concept exists in some circles in Azerbaijan but the point is that we no reliable source to talk about it in detail. Instead, what most of this article tries to do is justify the use of such a term on the basis of history and demographics - we have no real works written by political scientists to explain, for example, where this theory cropped up from and how great a support it has in Azerbaijan. Unless some are introduced, this article should be deleted.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 04:30, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment None of those above examples refer to the political concept of Western Azerbaijan, and in some cases they aare referring to province of West Azerbaijan in modern Iran. The "speedy keep" was a result of many editors not knowing what this article was purportedly about - an actual geographic term, an irredentist term, etc. Now that we have a better idea of what it is but lack the sources to support it, its deletion can be considered anew.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sources in the article are sufficiently giving a reason for Keep. Western Azerbaijan is a political concept as the article title points out already. I don't understand why these nominating editors dispute that. The term is widely used. So, keep. Ladytimide (talk) 17:09, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Artsakh

edit

Northern Artsakh (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

According to google books, Notability cannot be established.

This article consists of information that has no direct relations with "Northern Artsakh". Sources information can be transferred to related article (for example Nagorno-Karabakh, Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast etc.) Takabeg (talk) 03:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So if you read more carefully, it's mentions Shahumyan and Getashen (Khanlar) districst as Northern Artsakh. Also, please read the description of "Northern Artsakh":
...is a political concept used in the Republic of Armenia to refer the region in north-western Azerbaijan, lying north of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Mountainous Artsakh) and between the Kura river and the border of the Republic of Armenia, which had a significant Armenian population from antiquity up to the 1987-1992, when Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out.
I mean that it obviously says that it is used by Armenians. I don't try to show any neutrality (except the ethnic tables), because it isn't neutral. It is just a point of view from Armenian side without hiding it. I don't see any problem with this. This article just shows the point of view of Armenian to the region. That's all. --Yerevanci (talk) 04:04, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No independent sources. No indication or sign of notability. Speedy deleted on two previous occasions. Third speedy contested so afd-ing. Also, while not a reason to delete, all significant contributors appear to be SPAs promoting Boliven and its parent company, Cambridge IP. GDallimore (Talk) 23:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete — may i propose that if articles on search engines are to be kept, they should at a minimum give some results on themselves? if you can't do SEO when you own your own SE, why even bother? there's nothing on real search engines either, except articles in german on bolivia written by people who can't spell bolivien, so fails all possible notability guidelines. it's cute how they explain what their "advanced search" function does, though. it allows "fuzzy"! — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 06:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have just added two independent sources, but I could not find anything providing a significant coverage, i.e. providing "more than a trivial mention" (Wikipedia:Notability, General notability guideline). I would have expected more occurrences if the database or the service was notable. There is also a recent IEEE paper mentioning Boliven, see [8] and [9] (Sheikh, Nasir et al, "Forecasting of advanced electronic packaging technologies using bibliometric analysis and Fisher-Pry diffusion model", Technology Management in the Energy Smart World (PICMET), 2011 Proceedings of PICMET '11, July-Aug. 2011). I couldn't fully read it, but I suspect it includes only a trivial mention as well. --Edcolins (talk) 08:36, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep.Hello, thank you for your contributions and comments. We have added some additional independent sources. Could you let me know if we should make 'notability' explicit in the article (it may sound like advertising if we state facts in support of 'notability' - e.g. Boliven is one of the largest collections of science literature online, has more than 30,000 users, rapidly growing user base, etc, I'm trying to avoid making this type of statement?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariana Hudecova (talk • contribs) 14:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepI'd like to add some support for this page. I believe it will add signficantly to the "sum of human knowledge" by providing a review of one of many business intelligence search tools that can be readily accessed by the public. Innography already have a wiki page and I am sure more will follow. The Intellectual Property community do have access to a private wiki (see http://www.intellogist.com/wiki/Main_Page) but I would prefer to see one develop as part of Wikipedia. The Wikipedia community will by its nature ensure that content is unbiased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ip phil (talk • contribs) 16:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. I've gone through innography and removed the obviously unreliable sources and self-promotion based on press releases, but think it just about complies with the notability guidelines. Perhaps someone else would care to take a second look. GDallimore (Talk) 17:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Thanks for this - I agree. I would like to see all the articles associated with 'Patent search services' or 'Business intelligence companies' being of a common standard so that the public are well informed of these valuable services. Boliven seems to me to have some good search and display methods not found on the more popular Espacenet service.Ip phil (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — I am usually an advocate for inclusion. I conducted searches of the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Boston Business Journal (there is an office in Boston), the Cambridge University Reporter, Cambridge News, The Spectator, Financial Times, The Times and The Guardian. The only results were against "cambridgeip" in the Business Section of Cambridge News. There is the potential for an article about CambridgeIP with a section devoted to Boliven, but I do not think that a stand alone article on Boliven is warranted at this time. The citations provided support verifiability, but not notability. For instance, the BusinessWeek citation supports notability of the CEO, but verifiability of the company. It would be very useful to understand the nature of the French language citation, whether it supports notability or only verifiability. Thanks if someone can ascertain that. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:36, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely spammy article which reads like an overindulgent press release. Subject might be notable but I'm not seeing anything worth keeping here.

Keep. Look at the information presented. It is clearly a successful company, and no-one can say that anything is false on the article. I heavily despise this delete-and-discard ritual of Wikipedians these days, really exemplifying what seems to be a cybernetic sloth of which doesn't correspond with the speed at which I attain replies on my talk page. It doesn't take much time to rewrite this article if it's so 'promoted.' --TDW ✉ 00:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is my point, somehow a discarding cyber culture has arisen on Wikipedia whereby moderators/administrators such as yourself don't care for anything to actually be added to the encyclopedia. SB.TV exists, the references give enough evidence of that. Now I may be an amateurish editor when I can't see an entire article as an advert, but I at least tried to amend what I saw that was promotional. It is not your only job to state what needs deleting and what doesn't. Can you not help an inferior Wikipedian out? P.S. The final (usually compulsory) resort of subpaging or putting the article into the incubator does not help, I see very few articles that actually 'hatch' somewhat into a fully-fledged one. --TDW ✉ 10:51, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: OR and spam (on an extraordinary multi-project scale resulting in blocks on Danish and Swedish WPs). Yes, it's a direct translation of the French article, but that article would also be considered OR and spam under English Wikipedia standards. Delete in its entirety. Not very likely that this will ever develop into a full-fledged article. The material that would be added in the future would be more useful if added to other articles on vegetarianism and animal rights rather than in a stand-alone article of this scope.

  1. The action hero in popular Hollywood and Hong Kong movies
  2. Man-of-action heroes: how the American ideology of manhood structures men's consumption
  3. Gender schema theory and the tough female action-hero
  4. Super bitches and action babes: the female hero in popular cinema
  5. The female action hero in film

Walled garden of articles about a novel and various characters and fictional elements within it, with no properly sourced evidence of notability given (the articles' only "references" are to each other, and even the writer doesn't have an article.) Prod notice removed by creator with no compelling new evidence of notability provided. And even if such sources could be added to demonstrate sufficient notability, I'd still be unclear as to why we needed a separate article about each of these topics instead of a single one about the novel itself.

Some sources worth looking at are [12], [13] (passing mention in relation to a presidential candidate), [14], [15], [16], [17]. The company was widely noted for its financial struggling a few years ago, and then for its rapid recovery marked by its growing revenue and rapidly rising stock prices. Per WP:LISTED, most companies listed on major stock exchanges (in this case it was listed on NASDAQ) are usually notable.

Do not understand article and cannot tell what it's supposed to be about --ChristianandJericho 17:43, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A Google search suggests this is definitely a notable term, although the article as it is seems to fail WP:NOTESSAY.

  • Comment - this was originally posted, and AfD-ed, under the title "Cultural adaptation", because "Transcreation" was already in use as a redirect to The Little Book of Transcreation, currently at AfD here. The author asked on the talk page how it could be renamed, and since "Transcreation" is clearly the proper title I have boldly done that, and have also renamed the AfD, fixing (I hope) al the necessary links and redirects so that nothing is lost or confused.

The result was delete. I think everyone in this AfD accepts that Penosi is covered in sources. But the consensus is clearly (whether based on guidelines such as WP:PERP or the underlying policies that inform them, like WP:BLP1E) that he is notable only for a single alleged act of criminality for which he was acquitted and therefore does not warrant a biography.

  • Keep – The topic passes notability guidelines per reliable sources in the article and those that are available. Per WP:BIO, notability for people, specifically the section WP:BASIC, “A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.” The topic passes WP:BIO, section WP:BASIC due to the availability of multiple independent sources which demonstrate notability and in the manner of which those sources are not comprised of trivial coverage.

Declined PROD (I wasn't the PRODer). No independent sources to establish notability. Longetivity in this case is not the same as notability, most English cricket clubs are over 100 years old, and that is not just the reason to include. In addition, the sourcing is extremely bad, local, and unreliable.

  • Delete - The claims in the article are a bit sketchy with regards to exactly which competitions have been entered. With the lack of coverage in any reliable sources, about the only item this article would qualify under would be WP:ATHLETE with competition at the highest level of his sport. The website for the sport's governing body is not very helpful as it provides no athlete database, nor any indication what competitions are sanctioned beyond an events schedule that would imply that there is some form of world cup circuit. Given the lack of detail in the current article, absent any new sources turning up, there is no indication that the subject is a competitor in the top level of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 17:20, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Match is not notable at all especially compared to other Liverpool matches. The article almost entirely consists of quotes from autobiographies and there is no media coverage to suggest it was a notable match. NapHit (talk) 12:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Obviously a well-referenced article. The match is notable as an international match. Indeed, a football match between a "Western" football club and a football team from the "Eastern Bloc" during the Cold War gives this event significant notability. Fans of the Liverpool and the Dinamo Bucharest football clubs will find this article especially interesting. I really wish people would stop trying to delete articles simply because THEY are not interested in the subject matter. Further more, it is especially offensive that this article has been nominated for deletion just ONE day after its creation. Deterence Talk 13:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you find it offensive, that I nominated the article after one day then tough. Rules are rules they are there for a reason, the match has no notablity. The fact that it was a western team against an eastern bloc team is in no way notable as this happened throughput the 70s and 80s, should those matches have articles? No because they have no lasting impact.

  • Delete - No records were set in this match, it's not the final of any competition, and it's not exactly a memorable game. Sure, it was physical, but it's hardly ever mentioned in the media, and media mentions are required to determine notability. – PeeJay 13:29, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No media coverage right after the match has been presented, which is a shame, but there are references to plenty of substantial coverage years later, which in wiki-notability terms counts for more. Books are entirely suitable for demonstrating notability, in fact they may often be more suitable than newspapers. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources says what is a reliable source depends on the context. A newspaper may well be best for the score and the match attendance; a book for how the match fitted into the general situation of European soccer at that time. Thincat (talk) 13:40, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-notable. Was not a final and no records were broken. Argyle 4 Lifetalk 13:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The game continues to resonate nearly thirty years after it was played, and is covered in particular detail in various players' autobiographies (I have included only Rush’s and Kennedy’s, there are at least two others that could be used to bolster the article [Dalglish's and Hansen's; unfortunately I don’t have them with me now but have read them]); in addition various other references could be used from official LFC Encyclopaedias, not to mention media references closer to the time the game was played (this would entail a trip to the library which sadly I am unable to undertake at present). In fact, the article is at a young stage and can be embellished and improved considerably, and I would suggest that it is far too premature to delete it. The person who nominated the deletion did so with the words "Match is not notable at all especially compared to other Liverpool matches" but this is a vague and inaccurate assertion and in the context of Liverpool's halcyon period the game is certainly memorable and historic for players, supporters and journalists and has over the years taken on a legendary status. The person who nominated it also wrote "The article almost entirely consists of quotes from autobiographies" but since when have major autobiographies published by major publishing houses not been WP:RS? Again, the amount of detail gone into by these players regarding this match far outweighs any other Liverpool match from the period, including certain finals. Jprw (talk) 14:34, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The game does not continue to resonate after thirty years. Just because former players write about in their autobiographies does not make it a notable match. If that's the case then surely there should be an article for every match that players mention?. Look at the other Liverpool matches that are articles that were not finals. The Liverpool v Arsenal really does resonate after all this time because it was a significant match and has been featured in the media. Likewise the other three. Where has this game been mentioned in the media? I would like to see some links. The point that is made is that if this game is an article why not other semi-finals that Liverpool took part in? Why not the recent Chelsea ones or the 1981 one with Bayern Munich? The assertion that the game has taken on a legendary status is your view I'm afraid. Just because you think that, does not mean the game warrants an article. Yes player's autobiographies are RS, but the fact that the game is not extensively covered in the media after the match means it is not a notable match and should be deleted. NapHit (talk) 16:13, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To take your assertions point by point:

The game does not continue to resonate after thirty years.

Yes it does. It is frequently referred to in the media (compared to other matches from that era and only last week was the subject of a lengthy discussion on the club's official website).

If it is 'frequently referred to in the media' then I'm sure you wouldn't mind providing a few links. By links I mean ones that provide the match as the main focus of the link, not links like the New York Times one which provides a paragraph on one moment of two matches. NapHit (talk) 17:27, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just because former players write about in their autobiographies does not make it a notable match.

Yes it does, especially if it's the likes of Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush referring to it at length in critically acclaimed books.

If that's the case then surely there should be an article for every match that players mention?

The point I keep trying to make and which other editors seem unable to grasp (not just you) is that when this game is mentioned in footballers' autobiographies it is with a disproportionate amount of additional detail compared to other matches they mention. It is clearly more notable, more memorable, and has more incidents which distinguish it from other games.

Look at the other Liverpool matches that are articles that were not finals. The Liverpool v Arsenal really does resonate after all this time because it was a significant match and has been featured in the media. Likewise the other three. Where has this game been mentioned in the media? I would like to see some links. The point that is made is that if this game is an article why not other semi-finals that Liverpool took part in? Why not the recent Chelsea ones or the 1981 one with Bayern Munich?

As for these matches that you mention (Liverpool v Arsenal I presume you mean the 89 title decider) I see no reason why they shouldn't have their own Wikipedia articles, particularly the Chelsea one because of all the extra connotations with the ghost goal, etc. So you can't use that argument as a justification to delete this article I'm afraid. Perhaps this is simply an area that needs expanding within Wikipedia.

The assertion that the game has taken on a legendary status is your view I'm afraid.

Not at all. For anyone with a knowledge of Liverpool Football Club over the last 40-50 years, this is a legendary game. That is just stating the obvious.

Just because you think that, does not mean the game warrants an article. Yes player's autobiographies are RS, but the fact that the game is not extensively covered in the media after the match means it is not a notable match and should be deleted.

But it is covered in the media. Look at the references – even the New York Times discusses it. In fact, there are more media references than autobiographical references. I'm sorry, but your overall arguments seem to be blasé, ill thought out, and illogical. Jprw (talk) 16:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No its not discussed that IS the point. One paragraph in article about Graeme Souness having triple bypass surgery is not discussing the matches as its main subject. That is not media coverage of the match, that is media coverage of Souness himself. The fact that their were two matches and yet their are no links that deal solely with the match means it is not notable. Your basing your arguments on your belief that the match is notable, which is 'ill thought out' as this does not concur with Wikipedia policy. The point I'm making is that apart from Souness breaking the jaw of a Bucharest player nothing notable happened in either match. There is not significant coverage of the topic in the media. After reading the article there is nothing that makes the article notable at all. NapHit (talk) 17:27, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – For me to consider an article on a non-final notable, I'd want to see some evidence that the match received significant coverage in reliable sources beyond the time fram e when it was held. I don't see that proof here. The sources in the article are a mix of primary sources and articles that aren't about this match in particular. To offer a comparison, Liverpool 0–2 Arsenal (26 May 1989) apparently has a book written about it, along with a substantial Guardian article. Those are the kind of sources that we need to prove an individual game's notability. Unless something along those lines can be found for this article, I don't think it should stay. Hopefully the other references to be included will improve matters. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For me to consider an article on a non-final notable, I'd want to see some evidence that the match received significant coverage in reliable sources beyond the time frame when it was held.

  • It does. Look at the sources. And where does it say that only finals can have their own articles?Jprw (talk) 04:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As per nom. Non-notable football match and nothing indicating its notability. As for the reasoning to keep it, of course players will talk about it in their autobiography, its their autobiography! If I wrote an autobiography I'd include the greatest 5 a side matches I've played in, that wouldn't make them notable though. TonyStarks (talk) 03:10, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable football match and nothing indicating its notability. I find this baffling. How can the semi-final of the European Cup not be notable? This match is certainly more notable and significant than, say, the 1987 Littlewoods Cup final. It is also the biggest game in D Bucharest's history. It is still talked about in the media and referred to at length in players' autobiographies and footballing encyclopaedias. What is the problem? Jprw (talk) 04:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, the article is only a couple of days old. It's already well written and well referenced but I expect it to improve still. Being a European Cup semi final makes it notable. bbx (talk) 07:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - cup semi-finals are not independently notable, and I see no other notability here. GiantSnowman 15:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Normally, I would say a semi-final is not in itself notable. However there is a case that this particular one has received coverage by multiple reliable sources and thus meets our general notability guidelines. The lead section gives an indication of why this match is considered notable and the article in general is appropriately-written. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 20:00, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note Please do not try to draw me into the long, ongoing argument re: this article. I do not care one iota about Liverpool FC, games "echoing through the ages", other semi-finals which may-or-may-not be more/less/equally important, etc. I'm simply going by my interpretation of the guidelines.

  • Delete Twelve out of seventeen refs listed come from either specialized media outlets which are obsessed with Liverpool FC and Liverpool FC only or ex-Liverpool FC players' autobiographies, and two out of the remaining five point to UEFA's website with nothing but a scoreline, proving only that the match really occurred. There's very little here to suggest that the match is regarded as notable to anyone outside Liverpool. The conclusion Jprw drew above (This is an area in WP that needs expanding, and this has been something positive to have come out of this discussion.) is concerning. Try explaining to non-football editing Wikipedians why a project which currently covers some 148,000 articles (92,000 of which are assessed as stubs) "needs expanding" into new and pretty uncharted territory. You could start by proving that the match was seen as notable by somebody not related to Liverpool before participating players decided to mention it in their autobiographies published in 2005 and 2009. You have over 20 years of newspaper archives and football books to dig through. Timbouctou (talk) 20:46, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This nom is ridiculous. It's very easy to find references to this magazine through Google, and there are half a dozen such links in the references for the article. In addition, it's mentioned in around 25 Wikipedia articles about heavy metal music - often accompanied by such descriptions as 'long-established, 'respected'. 'heavy metal bible' etc. One of the most telling links to establish notability is the last one, where the extremely well-known band Kiss, on their own website, have a page describing the article about them in Burrn!.

  • keep this case is the subject of a new book (this month) by M. William Phelps. It seems to me that if phelps, a fairly well-known and respected true crime author, found enough material to write a book about the case 5 years after the fact, then there's a good chance that (a) the case is notable and (b) that there are much higher quality secondary sources available than the article in its current state suggests that there are, e.g. the book itself and the source material that the book is based on. According to the press release about the book, phelps uses a lot of interview material, which would be exclusive and therefore not available to web searches. i therefore think it's worth keeping this article around until someone can integrate material from this new book into it. — Alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 21:02, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If not for this attention lavished upon it by these cable crime shows it would just be a regular case confined solely to the Quad Cities and the Illinois AP newswire in brief, as it sounds like this ended up (I don't remember hearing anything about this at the time on Chicago news radio stations, for instance).

comment it seems to me that, if true, the fact that it wasn't covered much at the time it happened, but is now being covered, is actually an argument in favor of notability rather than against. we're looking for judgements of notability over time, rather than all at once, and that seems to plausibly be what we have here. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 05:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That's the problem; just because it appears on a television series doesn't give it automatic notability. It is a tragedy but the reputation of Deadly Women and Snapped both aren't very good at all; all they do is take a case and heighten the details to an absurd level which makes it seem more grisly than it is in reality. It's also unlikely that anyone beyond law enforcement, the usual cadre of "experts" that make the crime TV circuit and opportunistic persons related to the case appeared on these series because families of the suspects and victims generally do not want to appear on television to talk about this event all over again.

Because we're dealing with convicted and incarcerated living people, we have a special responsibility to honor the intent of WP:BLP. Per CRIME, we don't have articles on the perpetrators or the victim, but as that section suggests, on the event. As an event, this meets lots of EVENT criteria. We've got multiple linked news sources, (uncited) claim of national headlines, three news feature documentaries, and at least one book length treatment. Per N/CA multiple diverse sources can confer notability on an event. BusterD (talk) 12:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tho give an idea of the extreme level of puffery present in this article, one of the "sources" cited in the article as of now is to a Washington Redskins forum:[ http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?90249-Illinois-teen-killed-and-dismembered-classmates-under-arrest]. The key here is that notability is not established simply by stating it does - WP:N/CA specifically mentions that the case needs to be "high-profile" (this isn't) and argues for quality of sourcing. While there has been sporadic coverage of the case, the fact that some of the sourcing is fetched from online forums unrelated to the topic, speaks of the little notability of this case. You also make claims in this argument that are not made in the article - I suspect the "news documentaries" are tabloid quality treatments (to be ignored as per WP:SENSATION) and the book (Too Young to Kill by M. William Phelps) is probably the reason why this article was created in the first place, years after the event, to promote the book. Not to mention the book itself is non-notable and not a reliable source in itself.So yeah, delete PRcruft, we do not exist to retcon notability for Pinnacle's marketing department. --Cerejota (talk) 13:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whoa, if Pinnacle's paying the page creator to create this stuff, they're certainly not getting anybody's credit by it. It's all pretty much drek, and no professional writer would turn this in. For the record, during a cursory search of the creator's other contributions, Erika and Benjamin Sifrit comes up, with a line at the bottom referring to a 2009 M. William Phelps book. So perhaps there's some fire to the smoke User:Cerejota sees. That user has been working with the page creator longer than I, but to my eyes the creator is just a newbie with access to the entire season of Snapped. BusterD (talk) 13:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A modus operandi I have identified is the the use of sacrificial accounts to create articles, and then the professional meatpuppets either directly keep, or expect a keep, and then move in "to improve the quality". I am seeing this pattern often in publishing, but also in tech - in particular the pesky Avaya case is amusing (methinks its a midsized purveyor of out-of-production Avaya/Lucent/Att products trying to catalogfy wikipedia). The repeated AfC requests howerver were indeed a faux pas I have not seen yet and are hilariously hardheaded.--Cerejota (talk) 14:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd appreciate some more explanation of what you're talking about here, and in the box you placed at the top of the page. User:RRRRRYYYYYAAAAANNNNN is indeed a serial WP:AFC submitter (I tried to wean him off it once – no response), but a lot of his submissions were perfectly fine and have been created. I also wouldn't consider it necessarily a "faux pas" to keep resubmitting at AfC, because that's how the process works: submit-decline-improve, submit-decline-improve, until it's made. And as far as I can tell he hasn't been blocked? joe•roet•c 15:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Submitting the same article 4 times in under 40 minutes is normal at AfC?--Cerejota (talk) 15:52, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's not uncommon, in my experience, and perfectly fine as long as the submitter is making an effort to address the reviewer's concerns. But this isn't "AfC review" – I'm still confused about the reference to a blocked user, and what you have to back up a possible COI on User:RRRRRYYYYYAAAAANNNNN's part? joe•roet•c 16:06, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article was bought out of AfC by a now blocked user. The COI is not necessarily User:RRRRRYYYYYAAAAANNNNN's, although as noted, there is connection in the topics.--Cerejota (talk) 16:09, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm going to make an explicit keep !vote because I didn't before, but I don't think there is much else to say and would rather have seen this closed as no consensus following the deletion review. User:Alf.laylah.wa.laylah and User:11coolguy12 have mentioned sources that demonstrate lasting coverage per WP:PERSISTENCE, in addition to the significant coverage in the news cited in the article itself. The delete voters are either pretending these don't exist, or dismissing them because of a personal opinion that the subject is in bad taste (I agree; but that has nothing to do with notability). User:Cerejota's—let's put it politely and say "suspicions"—don't appear to have any weight, which is discussed at length in the deletion review. joe•roet•c 11:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Notable crime per significant, diverse and persistent coverage in reliable sources. Cited above are Dateline, People, and a book about the crime. The crime and the trial got national and worldwide coverage such as in South America a year after the crime. It is unreasonable to discount books about crimes, or TV shows which cover crime as failing to be reliable sources merely because of their subject matter. Commentors should AGF and refrain from accusing those with different views of having a conflict of interest. Edison (talk) 20:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sometimes, there's just no consensus. I don't personally think this content is really suitable for Wikipedia, but deleting it is not the highest priority in the world, and enough good faith editors want to keep it that I recognise there's no chance of deletion. There's no evidence whatsoever of a conflict of interest and I think it would be best if that allegation were withdrawn.—S Marshall T/C 00:06, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I consider the coverage given sufficient to meet the GNG. The Dateline episode, as well as (to a lesser degree) the people article are especially indicative of notability. I don't get the extreme bias against news-generating events, from the wp:GNG: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. Newspapers can be reliable sources (typically independent of the subject) that provide significant coverage of events. Buddy431 (talk) 04:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep satisfies WP:GNG, several of the delete arguments here fail WP:NTEMP i.e. the topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline in the past, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.Polyamorph (talk) 07:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  WP:OSTRICH also applies to shocking stories, we follow the media, we don't tell them that they shouldn't be covering such stories.  Polyamorph and Buddy431 also make good points.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:12, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep On September 8, the Voice of America wrote "As wildfires burn across the drought-stricken state of Texas, farmers and ranchers there and across the southwestern United States are facing devastating livestock and crop losses. Analysts say the effect could ripple across the U.S. and world economies. And there is no assurance that the dry spell will end any time soon." US Drought Monitor reports extreme to exceptional drought conditions in almost all of Texas as well as Oklahoma, New Mexico and Georgia. Bloomberg News describes the impact on the cotton industry as an "unmitigated disaster" in a story called "Record Texas Drought Burns Cotton Farmers as White Gold Withers in Sun".

    There isn't enough circumstantial evidence, and there's no direct evidence, to support this claim. ReeDawn is a major COI, but under his previous identity, he has specifically claimed not to be WillPower. And for what it's worth, there is a reliable source (Complex Magazine) claiming WillPower produced a Techn9ne song. That isn't enough to singlehandedly end this discussion, but it definitely puts WillPower way past CSD A7. And for that matter, nonadmins are allowed to remove CSD tags. I would have had I encountered it here. SilverCity 03:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    More then enough proof that User talk:ReeDawn look at the creation date of his user account it was made right after the created of this page was block also funny how this is the only page that user has ever edited. DoDo Bird Brain (talk) 03:02, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    That is simply not correct. Please read the user's comment here, then read WP:AGF and learn what circumstantial evidence is. I wouldn't flinch if there were a block per WP:DUCK, but it ought to be a lot more obvious for something like that. SilverCity 02:32, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. AllMusic, Complex Magazine, and RapRadar verify the claims that WillPower has produced songs for Yelawolf, TechN9ne, and Slaughterhouse. The sources are still mostly terrible, the article is drowning in ad copy, and and this ought to be heavily monitored for COI edits from ReeDawn, but WP:COMPOSER says that notability is established for anyone who "Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." Eminem has sold tens of millions of records. Anything he's done is notable, including production credits. SilverCity 03:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No evidence of notability. In answer to Silvercitychristmasisland, WP:COMPOSER gives a list of the sort of thing that may be taken into account in assessing notability: nowhere does it state that satisfying any one item on the list ensures automatic notability. Notability is not inherited, and having written something for a notable person does not automatically confer notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I said before somewhere that I hate accusing people of making strawman arguments, but hey.
    "[H]aving written something for a notable person does not automatically confer notability." The word "something" constitutes a strawman, since it refutes something I didn't say. It means "one" and there are reliable sources backing up my claim of "way, way more than one." If a producer does not have notability despite productions for several obviously notable rappers, that would set a scary precedent. Do you have any idea how many producers do nothing else? SilverCity 02:32, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not inherited. Having written things for notable people does not automatically confer notability. Sorry that my choice of words seems to have misled you as to my meaning. As for "Do you have any idea how many producers do nothing else?", yes, and most producers are not notable. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:31, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other than the first ref, which just gives her a passing mention, the others are all links to the program she hosts, and are therefore not independent of her. I cannot find enough about her anywhere to amount to "sufficient sources" to determine notability, and my feeling is that journalists (being in print / media all the time) don't really come into the category of sufficient coverage just because of that; it's hard to establish notability here.

  • Comment – The topic also passes notability guidelines per WP:BIO notability for people, specifically the section WP:BASIC, “A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.” The topic passes WP:BIO, section WP:BASIC due to the availability of multiple independent sources which demonstrate notability and in the manner of which those sources are not comprised of trivial coverage.

This is an entirely unremarkable website - I'm a petrol head and I have never heard of it before. It has mostly been developed by a single purpose editor who, from his username, looks to have a close connection with the company i.e. is its founder. Other than one brief mention in The Guardian I can't find any significant references to support its notability. Biker Biker (talk) 11:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I am the editor of carbuzz but have only added three contributions including the site to where I felt it would be useful.

You may not have heard of the website, but we've received a lot of press attention in the UK where are primary audience focus is. You can see some of it here - http://www.carbuzz.co.uk/press

It is also not a single editor site. We have 3 full time editors and 3 contributors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesHCB (talk • contribs) 12:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Information provided by the company in the same way any press release does - Yes. Again, a comment from someone from America. There will be many publications that are famous in the UK that aren't known in the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesHCB (talk • contribs) 17:15, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That comment is rather dismissive of people from outside the UK and does you absolutely no favours. And why do you say "again"? I am a Brit. --Biker Biker (talk) 17:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I am aware that The Guardian is an important newspaper. The problem still is independent and significant coverage. A brief blurb at the end of an unrelated story repeating information from the site founder is not really independent coverage, and is borderline on significant coverage. "Information provided by the company in the same way any press release does - Yes" - which is why that does not really constitute an independent source, no more than any press release would. It's pretty well established that getting your press releases distributed by others does not constitute independent coverage. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


The point of a press release is to give a journalist background information about the company/news event and to alert them to it. The Guardian journalist has been alerted to the site by the press release, viewed it and given his own opinion on it. He liked it so decided to include it. Wikipedia says that "an independent source is a source that has no significant connection to the subject and therefore describes it from a disinterested perspective" - I fail to see how this is not independent coverage?

Likewise the other independent sources that covered the launch both fit into that category. The fact that they have detailed Wikipedia pages shows that they must be significant sources too. How many sources do you want before accepting it's significant coverage?

I can understand if you don't like the site or concept yourself, but that's beside the point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesHCB (talk • contribs) 09:27, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Read Wikipedia:Notability, especially the WP:GNG section. The only thing achieved by mentions in the press that are based on your press release is to establish that the website exists. They don't establish notability. --Biker Biker (talk) 10:32, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I agree if it was a small blog just writing about the fact it had launched then it wouldn't establish notoriety, but these are independent, well known and trusted sources writing about the site. They wrote about it when it launched, but wouldn't have covered it if they didn't think it was newsworthy or a good product to show their readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesHCB (talk • contribs) 09:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia states that...

"Notability is not temporary: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage."

If you read the references, then you will see that both press release information and personal, unibased, and spontaneous remarks about the site are present.

  • Delete - Insufficient independent sources to meet WP notability requirements. Web sites in particular need something more meaty that a couple of PR-oriented reviews. --Noleander (talk) 01:32, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I looked at the links and did my own web search. The independent coverage essentially amounts to a few brief mentions that there's this new web site. I like these types of sites, so I hope it merits notability in the future, but I think it is short of it at the moment. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 12:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Again I'd argue what level constitutes a necessary level of coverage. The site was featured in a number of well respected publications. That kind of media coverage cannot be bought.

The common use of the term ahadees is the plural form of hadith. There is no evidence, in Wikipedia, Google search, or otherwise, that the word also referred to a cavalry Ratibgreat (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to Ahadees.com, the word ahadees means "Sayings of Holy Prophet Hazarat Muhammad S.A.W.". The article on hadith in Wikipedia states that "The term Hadīth (plural: hadith, hadiths, or ahadith) is used to denote a saying, act or tacit approval, validly or invalidly, ascribed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad." There is no evidence that the word means anything else. Ratibgreat (talk) 15:00, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Keep - but rename to "ahadis" - This word definitely means a kind of knight or horseman or gentleman in the ancient Mughal world. Lots of sources: [31], [32] , [33], [34], etc. There is some confusion because the word can be spelled a few ways (ahadis, ahadi, ahadee), and the spellings may use diacritics, and the plural is different, and the same spelling also means a kind of Islamic quote, namely hadith. But it is a genuine class of warrior. However article should be renamed to singular "ahadis" because (1) more consistent with WP naming conventions; and (2) more commonly used term in the sources.
