List of paleoconservative organizations

Category seems superfluous; we already have [[Category: Paleoconservatism]]. Difluoroethene (talk) 23:16, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Lists are perfectly acceptable encyclopedia content. I do question how authentic the list is, but I honestly didn't put much research into it and references for a list that is made up of Wikipedia entry is rather redundant. --NINTENDUDE ⁶⁴ 01:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lists and categories are complimentary, not exclusive. Lists provide a wealth of information. Categories are extremely basic in what they provide.– Lionel ^(talk) 05:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Per Wikipedia is not a directory, the article's inclusion on Wikipedia is appropriate, as the article has an organized focus and is not, per Wikipedia directory guidelines, like "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics". The article completely passes all eight points of WP:NOTDIRECTORY guidelines. Northamerica1000 (talk) 09:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Discriminate. Notable. Verifiable. Can have both a category and a list. Needs some work. Not reason for deletion. Dzlife (talk) 14:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. All of those are good reasons to keep, and the nomination has not refuted the presumption of notability of a sourced list. It could use some better sourcing. Bearian (talk) 18:53, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Only reference I could find that wasn't nude pics was here: [1]. Her great rack isn't enough to make her notable; there's a complete absence of awards, works, or anything that could attribute notability in the pornography and/or modeling industry. In fact, it looks like she's been retired for a year. --NINTENDUDE ⁶⁴ 01:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Afrikaans Protestant Church, Bloemfontein

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

Non-notable church; 900 members is fairly small, and there are a lot of churches (including my own) that have far more members than 900 and yet still don't satisfy GNG. Was created by a user who has a history of creating articles about non-notable topics. Difluoroethene (talk) 23:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep As per WP:Speedy keep reason #1, the nomination "fails to advance an argument for deletion". Unscintillating (talk) 01:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ahem, isn't "Non-notable church", even more so than others that "don't satisfy GNG", an argument for deletion? Maybe it has no merits in this specific case (I haven't tried to evaluate it), but it certainly looks like an argument. --Lambiam 07:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, IYO, the following !vote stands? Keep Notable church, 900 members is defined as a "large church", almost half way to being a mega church, and there are smaller churches that satisfy GNG. Unscintillating (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I gave that recommendation when I could find no nontrivial coverage in independent reliable sources, as required by GNG. I still can't find it. It is quite possible that several smaller churches do satisfy GNG, as notability in the Wikipedia sense is not a requirement for, and neither a consequence of, size. --Lambiam 10:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC) Also, in stating "almost half way to being a mega church", I think you are confusing attendance with membership. --Lambiam 10:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nonnotable. No coverage in reliable sources; just one of many local churches of the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk. --Lambiam 07:52, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - due to lack of significant coverage in reliable and independent sources to pass the GNG. Having 900 members is certainly not a guarantee of automatic notability. Yaksar (let's chat) 17:25, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

François Asselineau

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

An IP tried to renominate this but didn't finish the process. Notability is apparently still in question. Ten Pound Hammer and company • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, if an unknown IP tries to delete this article, we have to go through this process again? I thought majority of Wikipedians reached an agreement ... 6 months ago. Why a single IP can re-question that consensus? Anyway, in addition to the 19 sources already used in the article, Mr Asselineau was aired on many radio and TV programs:

BFM TV in "Les Experts de l'economie" (economics experts), 16 september 2011

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions. — — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 03:48, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not this again. We already did an AfD that was then taken to DRV, which decided that it should be relisted at AfD again, which ended in a Keep decision. We really shouldn't have to go through this all over again. In addition to the sources listed above, just look at the article talk page, where all of the other sources are listed. Yes, I know, it got deleted on French Wikipedia. Their standards for politicians are higher than ours and Asselineau also appears to be a negatively politically charged figure in France, which potentially biased their decision. I'm not sure and i'm not making any accusations, but it is quite clear that he meets the requirements of a politician here, which we decided on last time.

American Reunion

Production has not yet begun, too early to have a page magnius (talk) 20:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep: Really? Did you bother to read the page? It completed filming in this past summer. Per WP:NFF we make film articles when principal photography has begun filming, that threshold has been met. The article is sourced from top to bottom. It's a major feature film.

Keep as a film that has completed filming with a very, very high likelihood of being released. Magnius, the article says that filming took place, and the film has received significant coverage from reliable sources to warrant its own article. Erik (talk | contribs) 00:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per the obvious error in nominator's statement. Sorry Magnus, but production HAS completed, and the article itself both states and sources this.

List of Caymanians

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

Delete. Duplicate. There are so few notables from the Caymans, that they are kept in the main article Cayman Islands which editors steadfastly defend. So this is merely a redundant duplicate, or maybe even short a few names. Student7 (talk) 18:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not all the names in the List article are in the Cayman Islands article because, even though the names in the List article have articles on their own, some of those article subjects probably aren't notable enough to have their own articles.

Danilo Ursini

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

Non-notable artist. Fails WP:GNG with zero Google News hits and zero Google News Archive hits. Only reference is to some sort of Altavista clone (self-published). Only reason I didn't speedy for A7 is because the author/subject claims that they have an exhibition in the Louvre. I smell a hoax but I don't have any information that proves it to be other than a gut feeling. OlYeller^Talktome 13:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I didn't see sources for a biography on Google and Yahoo.SwisterTwister talk 03:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, perhaps speedy delete. No evidence of notability anywhere. I agree that this appears to be a hoax, for various reasons. For example, I have no doubt that if he had had an exhibition at the Louvre then there would be reliable sources saying so, and the Louvre's own site would have information about that exhibition. Instead, the Louvre site's search facility responds to a search for "Danilo Ursini" with "Sorry, no documents matching your query were found", and the mentions that I can find for the claim of a Louvre exhibition are on Wikipedia, Ursini's own site, MySpace, etc. Likely hoax, and certainly no evidence of notability.

Dundalk Cricket Club

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

Cricket club fails inclusion guidelines per WP:CLUB, WP:GNG and WP:CRIN. Slightly confused what league the club plays in as I'm having a hard time finding which one it does play in (don't know if the editor is on about a Division 11 or a Division 2 (11) - eitherway like its fellow Irish cousins it falls short. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:00, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The mention as a "club of the month" is nice, but doesn't amount to any depth of coverage. Many major sports publications have such mentions (like Sports Illustrated section "Faces in the Crowd") but such one-off "awards" don't really amount to the depth-of-coverage expected by WP:GNG. --Jayron32 17:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok the Division is eleven. There really is no comparison between a Wisden award and Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd. The Leinster League is semi-pro and features many international players. More in depth covergae can be found in feature articles on the Cricket Ireland Website http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES4/articles/000024/002400.shtml which is the governing body of Irish Cricket and Cover Point the Irish cricket magazine http://www.cover-point.com/post/Dundalk-Cricket-Club-Leinster-Division-11-Champions.aspx

The achievement of winning the Division in their debut year and being the only unbeaten club in the whole of the 14 Divisions is a not incosiderable one. EddieLu (talk) 18:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are kinda working against yourself: Being the best in the 11th division of anything in Leinster isn't much of an accomplishment. Leinster is a beautiful, awesome place, but being the 81st best cricket club in a region with a population of about 2.5 million people isn't really a whole lot to hang a Wikipedia article on. The results of league championships, no matter how small or miniscule, is frequently picked up by by some media somewhere, and I don't see where this counts for much. Yeah, they went undefeated in a league against the 82-88th best cricket teams in Leinster. That's not an accomplishment that usually merits a Wikipedia article, if that is the best that can be said. If this was a top-flight club in any sense, we'd be getting somewhere. But this isn't. --Jayron32 18:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok whatever, I'm clearly fighting a losing battle, the governing body of Cricket in Ireland and the Irish Cricket Media think the club has achieved something, but it counts for nought in Wikipedia. EddieLu (talk) 21:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks significant coverage so fails WP:GNG and Wp:CLUB. Mt king ^(edits) 04:27, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do what you like, I don't really care. The club exists it has done something quite significant in Irish cricketing terms despite what the "editors" of Wikipedia may or may not think. BTW Jayron32 I found your remarks rather patronising "Being the best in the 11th division of anything in Leinster isn't much of an accomplishment." I'll let the guys know they've been wasting their time effort and hardwork over the last two years then. EddieLu (talk) 07:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment while its achievements are good, it still doesn't merit notability. Firstly it plays in Division 11, as one user says this is simply too low a league to imply notability. For English clubs we only have articles for ECB Premier Leagues teams. Take my own cricket club, we've boasted P. G. Wodehouse, Ewald Steenkamp, George Wilder and William Whitcher - those are notable people/cricketers, but it doesn't make the club notable. Some of the Irish clubs in Division One of their respective ICU struggle to get articles due to there being limited coverage. But keep it up, as part Irish (and Italian) it's good to see Irish cricket spreading, who knows Test cricket might just be around the corner! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 09:49, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's the inconsistency that I find difficult, our near neighbours Knockharley Cricket Club have an entry they also play in Division 11, other than being older they are not particularly more notable than us and yet there is no intention to delete that article. EddieLu (talk) 11:28, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that Wikipedia is a big place, and merely finding another article that should be deleted doesn't mean that references about the Dundalk Cricket Club will magically appear. --Jayron32 11:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jayron32 you really are a very annoying individual, I'm 47 not 7 years old, I was simply making a comparison with a similar club. I'm not bothered as to whether the article is deleted or not, I'm simply pointing out an inconsistency. EddieLu (talk) 12:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

St. Mark's Episcopal Church (West Orange, New Jersey)

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

Does not qualify as a notable Wikipedia article. Further, other then being on the National Registry a search for articles and references about this church on Google, Yahoo, Webcrawler and other prominent search engines does not yield many if any information at all about this church. In fact the local Episcopal church in New Jersey does not even show it as an active congregation. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 16:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable structure, since it is on the National Register. Notability is not temporary, so if the congregation went out of business they and their building would still be notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. See coverage: "New Jersey churchscape: encountering eighteenth and nineteenth century ". The building is called an "outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture" by Preservation New Jersey. The building now houses a Methodist Hispanic congregation and from 2004-2009 a "Lamb of God Fellowship," leased the building from the Episcopal diocese. The St/ Mark's congregation went on to other nearby Episcopal congregations, per [2]. The diocese still maintains the cemetary adjacent to the church grounds.

Keep Inclusion on its country's national register of historic buildings is sufficient indication of notability, and User:Edison has cited specific sources on its architecture. There will also be the application for it to be included on the register, although these are not always on-line. Article needs expansion, not deletion.

Keep I found one of the sources mentioned by Edison on my smartphone about 7 hours ago, but couldn't cite it properly, so was delighted when I got to a computer and saw what Edison has discovered in the meantime. Great work, Edison. This article is about an architecturally notable structure, and the history of the original congregation and subsequent congregations using the building is interesting and worthy of mention. However, the notability of the building itself seals the deal for me. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SNOW and WP:HEY. The consensus is that being listed on the National Register of historic places is at least one factor for the notability of a church building. (Saying that "other then being on the National Registry" is like saying, "other than an Oscar, this actor is not notable....") Another factor is that it was designed by the prominent church architect of the mid-Nineteenth century. It's been vastly improved since nomination.

Note for background: I am currently working on the article for the Portland Youth Philharmonic in my sandbox. The text appearing in this article was taken from that sandbox. I will be moving content to the main article in the near future, but in the meantime having a separate article for Gershkovitch is unnecessary. My goal is to get the PYP article to GA or FA status. If, during the review process, a separate article is needed for any of the conductors of the orchestra, one can be created then. --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A Google Books search shows notability as he has received significant coverage in many reliable sources.

OK. Perhaps I jumped to XfD too quickly when I should have started a merge or content fork conversation. My argument here is not ownership. I want this content to be displayed on Wikipedia, but I figured it belonged on the Portland Youth Philharmonic article, especially since the current form is so short. Perhaps the current Gershkovitch article should be merged or I should go ahead and transfer my content to the PYP and/or Gershkovitch articles? --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refering to the abandoned unfinished project, which one, Serenity or Cobertura? Niether are abandoned, and Serenity is still very much alive, and getting more and more popular, 300 downloads a month now. I would imagine that it is being used in at least 100 companies. There has been no development on Serenity as there are no requirements, quite simple it is complete, and I dare say practically bug free. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael.couck (talk • contribs) 11:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You mean the same Cobertura that's available on SourceForge, has an Eclipse plugin, and active developer logs as the developers try to find time to release version 2.0? Yeah, it's still an active project. Your project on the other hand doesn't have any reliable third party evidence of its use or even existence. Serenity doesn't have a project website, changelog, anything at all. Even in the Wikipedia article you just have a link to Jenkins' wiki as the project's website. This is probably because your actual website according to the version 0.1 Maven POM, which I found here points to some login prompt saying that it'll be opening soon: http://ikokoon.myshopify.com/password. Your links to books are complete and utter hoaxes, they either are unreliable or don't exist. Serenity in Action is a fake (with a dead link) which is obviously trying to pass itself off as a volume in the very popular In Action series from Manning, and "Serenity Book" is a poorly named link to a book called Serenity Code Coverage that is exclusively Wikipedia content from some academic research publisher according to their research. Now that I've dug a little deeper, it looks like you're constructing a fraud here. But what I do know is that Serenity is completely non-notable by Wikipedia standards. --NINTENDUDE ⁶⁴ 20:21, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: a theory of everything created through reductionism of the building blocks of life to the energy level. If confirmed, it effectively solves every method of quantum theory including wave-particle duality, quantum superposition, quantum entanglement, quantum decoherence and more importantly allows us to measure and observe super-sub-atomic particles. The proposed method would also allow for manipulation of our environment at the subatomic level without breaking or even observing energy bonds.

The Big Bran Hypothesis (The Big Bang Theory)

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

TV episode article that fails to establish notability. The only reference is tv.com, and this only establishes the original air date. The article is essentially just a plot summary and therefore fails WP:PLOT. The article was redirected to the appropriate entry in the episode list article but the article creator restored the article, which is why it has ended up here. AussieLegend (talk) 07:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following recently created, related articles, for the same reason:

The Luminous Fish Effect (The Big Bang Theory) does not include references or even a plot. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:17, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although the article needs expansion, I do believe the episodes deserve an article. The series is nominated for the Emmies I believe. We just need people to add info. Ruigeroeland (talk) 07:49, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The series is notable, the individual episodes are not. Any coverage of the emmys is in the main article, The Big Bang Theory. Notability is not inherited. --AussieLegend (talk) 09:47, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. What I do not understand is why all episodes of the simpsons, american dad, law and order, etc. are notable enough to have their own article though. There are some double standards involved here. Dont get me wrong, I really dont care that much if these articles are created, but I dont understand the rationale for deleting these and keeping all episodes from other series. Ruigeroeland (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In all likelihood they're not notable enough. It's probably just the case that nobody has nominated them for deletion, or that too many fans and not enough people following policy and guidelines have voted at the AfD. Unfortunately that happens all of the time and it's one of the reasons that Wikipedia:Other stuff exists came to be. --AussieLegend (talk) 10:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but that does not support your argument per se. The second paragraph clearly states "When used correctly though, these comparisons are important as the encyclopedia should be consistent in the content that it provides or excludes. The problem arises when legitimate comparisons are disregarded without thought because other stuff existing is not a reason to keep/create/etc." Anyway: what I am saying is: if you delete these, your rationale should be that no episode of a TV series is ever notable enough to have an article. Clearly others disagree with you, since there are 1000s of articles on episodes (I even think some have been featured on the main page). If these articles are notable, the ones you are nominating are also, because it is a well-known tv series with high viewing rates and is even nominated for an emmy. What more is needed to make them notable? Ruigeroeland (talk) 10:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is, and should be, treated on a case by case basis. There's no reason why there can't be notable and non-notable episodes. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. The pilot episodes of most programs are usually notable because they meet the general notability guidlines while others aren't because they don't meet the guidelines. The mere existence of an episode article doesn't mean that the article's creator disagrees with me. Often the articles are written with absolutely no regard to the episode's notability or lack thereof. The Luminous Fish Effect (The Big Bang Theory) is a case in point. Glee episode articles are usually started well before the article is aired, often as soon as its inclusion on an airing schedule is announced. TV episodes are like any other subject; some are notable and some are not, and articles about non-notable subjects are created all the time. Some go to AfD and some don't. These are three articles that have. --AussieLegend (talk) 11:30, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right, but I hate the randomness of it all. Either we (the editors of wikipedia) decide episodes of well known shows are notable and add them, or we decide they are not and delete/merge all of them. Just because there are enough fans of a certain show active on wikipedia, all episodes get an article, while other shows are not eligible for seperate articles because nobody will defend them against AfD. I'm sorry, but that is not a good policy. I would think an episode watched by millions of people world-wide is more notable than lets say a US town with 4 inhabitants. Anyway, I'm not arguing about it anymore. These are not my articles and not the kind of articles I work on, but it just struck me as odd when I saw them nominated. Ruigeroeland (talk) 12:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I should point out that disambiguation is not required in the article title and previous, now redirected, versions of these articles exist at The Big Bran Hypothesis, The Fuzzy Boots Corollary, and The Luminous Fish Effect. The versions of these articles before they were redirected, primarily for failing Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) (as these new versions do), are here, here and here respectively. -AussieLegend (talk) 10:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Defensive works such as this were highly unusual in Australia during World War II, and I'd be amazed if offline books didn't also discuss this.

- As an additional note, Trove is a pretty poor source for this topic as newspapers would have been unable to report on its construction during World War II due to censorship.

Delete I have looked for athletic records in India and been unable to find them even for top players. This is not a professional athlete, but a good amateur. The claims made in the article are unsourced, because of my own experience I feel that they are also unsourceable in official records, and it is not clear to me that the events in which this athlete competed are themselves notable.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. — — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 05:46, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All The majority of these articles contain numerous third-party references to provide verifiability. I see no issues with their notability given that even the most basic Google search turns up numerous results. General consensus has always been to keep event articles by major mixed martial arts promotions such as this. The number of attendees is not relevant to their notability since these events were broadcast either on Showtime or network television. The event Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers, for example, which aired on CBS, drew over 5 million viewers at its peak. The noms characterization of these articles as "useless fighting results" is not consistent with the page views these articles receive, or the careful attention they have garnered from editors and members of the MMA WikiProject. This nomination appears to be the result of a misunderstanding of what constitutes independent third-party coverage (despite previous attempts at constructive discussion with the editor to find common ground) and a personal standard for notability that exceeds general consensus for these types of events (well documented mixed martial arts events held by top-tier promotions). Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 20:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All - Strikeforce is a prominent mixed martial arts organization, easily the UFC's biggest rival until it was acquired by Zuffa. Articles for its events easily meet WP:NOTE and WP:EVENT, lasting effects being that the results of these fights determine champions and rankings of contenders. --NINTENDUDE ⁶⁴ 01:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all If you find an article that doesn't have reliable sources in it already, then just search for the names of those participating plus Strikeforce.

Keep - contrary to nom, there are multiple reviews from a reliable source cited right on the page, and probably more out there. This is a curious case, because where the game is mentioned, it is mentioned as a poor example, but it does have some ideas (like "anti-GM rules") that seem to be expressing themselves in more recent games. If I believed in using the moniker "weak keep", I would. - Sangrolu (talk) 13:08, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment— i'm sorry, if there is a consensus that rpgnet is a reliable source, then my nomination was in error, and i will withdraw it. this is not an area in which i have expertise, and since all the mentions i could find were on what seemed to me to be blogs, i thought that there were not reliable sources. is it the consensus of the gaming community that rpgnet is sufficient to establish notability? — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would honestly have to admit that it is debatable. It has recently been defended as notable, but much of its content is user-generated and/or webforum. It does have an editorial staff, staff reviewers (of which one of the listed reviews is by), and the review section has a more strict publication process than the webforum section. At the very least, it is certainly not self-published. In this time where print magazines on RPGs are harder to come by, and after the decline of ENWorld's review section, RPGnet is one of the more reliable remaining sources of new rpg reviews. - Sangrolu (talk) 15:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ah, ok. perhaps i'll leave it up here, so we can see what the community thinks, then. does that sound reasonable to you? — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 15:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely; finding consensus is the method here. As mentioned, I consider Synnibar a bit of a borderline case, but would find treating of RPGnet itself an an unreliable source a decision that would have deleterious effects on establishing notability of somewhat more significant RPG products. - Sangrolu (talk) 18:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep the staff review at RPGnet is reliable IMO. This game system is also famous in a not-good way. But reliable sources seem light. I will link to a passing mention at Salon though it's not worth much [10]. Hobit (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reliability of RPGnet - searching the WP:RS archive brought me to this debate and this existing article. My interpretation of this is that RPGnet reviews are only acceptable sources if they're by a notable and recognised expert and even then should be backed up by other citations. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 14:31, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd suggest a new discussion at the RS noticeboard might be called for. That is a fairly small number of folks (one basically) to use to make a binding call. It doesn't distinguish staff reviews from other (not sure if staff reviews existed at that point) which I at least think is pretty important. Hobit (talk) 17:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the site still states reviews can be sent in by anyone (and I can't find evidence that the reviews quoted are anything other than fans with an opinion), this really falls under WP:SPS. With respect, I feel that if anyone considers the site to be a reliable source, the burden is upon them to demonstrate it.
I still feel WP:NBOOK ("The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself.") is not met. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 19:27, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MacLennan is or was a staff reviewer. I have no idea about the status of the other reviewer, so agree that this may be a borderline case (since it does amount to one staff review). Nonetheless, there is no guarantee that a given review will be published; it requires action by a staff member to publish the article. I'm not so sure that it's appropriate to conclude that all non-staff reviews at RPGnet are suspect. - Sangrolu (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Humm, I honestly don't know anything about the site (other than reading about it on it's Wikipedia page) but in this context is the review at somethingawful reliable? Hobit (talk) 22:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete - though the subject seems potentially notable, sufficient time has been given for the production of the necessary reliable sources, and they have not been forthcoming. Consensus is that the notability standard has not been met. TerriersFan (talk) 01:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep not for WP:Prof but for musical activities. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Keep - I do not know who created this entry in the first place (personally I woudn't know how to!), but I have, of late, been keeping it up to date. Everything here is verifyable. If you Google titles of books and names of choirs, for instance, all the fact are easily found on-line. I would ask as a courtesy that the lists of academic publications remain - these are here not as a point of vanity but rather to show researchers where to locate important articles on aspects of 18th century musicological research - surely that is what encyclpaedias are for? - the dissemniation of knowledge? Also, it would be normal for encyclopaedic entries on composers to list their works. In the case of Beethoven this would be by opus no.- with Mozart it is by Koechel no. I do not have opus numbers but this is a list of all the published works, which is growing all the time herev theybv atre listed by publication date. I can see perhaps why you might feel this article is a bit like a CV - what is absent, perhaps, is more biographical detail - and perhaps this should be added, but I have been extremely shy to do this myself and have not wished to unduly change the wording of original article - whoever wrote that. You have seen much more activity of late with the editing since it has been a rather productive year with some 20 new musical works being published and 6 new text books in the last 12 months. I would be extremely disppointed if you felt that the article shoud be deleted. I would hope that as a contributor to some of the most prestigious musicalogical publications in the world and as a composer whose works are perfomed all the way around the world that 'Nigel Spingthorpe' would merit an entry on this encyclopedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.56.193 (talk) 20:00, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are comparing yourself to Mozart and Beethoven? Really? The article is not lacking biographical detail, because the neither biographical detail, nor the list of published works is notable. This is self-promotion, not the "dissemination of knowledge" and the lack of verifiable references confirms that this is a (non-notable) vanity project. Nobody voting to "Keep" has thus far adequately proved the article's notability, and nor has there been any attempt to address the clear conflict of interest in the article's construction. -Kez (talk) 23:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:ACADEMIC – his publications and his role as Trinity College examiner. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:01, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How does being an examiner establish his notability? It clearly states on WP:ACADEMIA that "School teachers at the secondary education level, sometimes also called professors, are not presumed to be academics and may only be considered academics for the purposes of this guideline if they are engaged in substantial scholarly research and are known for such research. They are rather evaluated by the usual rules for notability in their profession" - and so this article does not pass the test. Just because he has had works published does not mean that he has had a "substantial impact" in the field. -Kez (talk) 23:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
In particular, I urge the anon editor to add the material he has available: additional publications would certainly help. So would reviews of his compositions, if available, and information about professional performances and recordings. I agree it's usual to list all the works of a composer; as for publications, we normally list only the peer-reviewed formal published ones, not unpublished presentations. And might I suggest articles on JG and JC Rollig? They'd be useful in any event. If the Boult prize is notable, an article on it listing the awardees would be good also.

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. There are no reliable sources that can verify that this term is used to describe these neighbourhoods. The talk page indicates that it is an informal name used by the residents. That may be true, but it needs to be verified by reliable sources.

Jason Peoples

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

This article fails to meet notability guidelines of Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_requires_verifiable_evidence clearly states that: "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally." My point is that: how winners of seasons two (Gil Hyatt - redirected to Average Joe (TV series)), three (Samantha Trenk), and four (Nathan Griffin - redirected to Average Joe (TV series)) of the same show, Average Joe, shouldn't have articles but the winner of season one which is Jason Peoples should?? If "winning a national reality TV contest is an assertion of significance", then it should be for all, right? also it is not a "national reality TV contest" anyways, since a national reality TV contest is a contest with competitors from all over a country and not just a very few certain cities. Also it only has one reliable reference and other information are still unclear to be true. Wholly unreferenced biography of a wholly non-notable person. His short-time "Fame" has never gone beyond reality TV, therefore fails Wikipedia:Notability. JuventiniFan (talk) 07:37, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Average Joe (TV series), just like the other two series winners mentioned above, which could have been done without an AfD. Not enough coverage to come close to meeting WP:BIO, but it's a plausible enough search term and enough people are reading it to make a redirect sensible.
