Alaska Game Management Units

Some of these units are bigger than other entire states. How game is managed is very much a hot button issue up here, but despite that I am not certain this deserves a stand-alone article. It could be merged into Alaska Department of Fish and Game or some,other appropriate target though. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment could someone take the time to expand the article to explain what these things are? Arbitrage trades? geographical units? squads of people? Neither of the refs mentions these by name. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Merge if necessary. The Steve 08:44, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and merge per Thesteve. I searched adn.com for relevant articles about (rather than just mentioning) game management units, and I didn't find much of anything. (Adn.com is basically the newspaper of record for Alaska, so that's where you'd expect anything relevant to be.) I don't think there could be ever be much more content than a statement that these exist, plus a map and names. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I have added some explanation as requested above as well as an external link to a map of the unit boundaries. I think all of this content could be easily accomodated at the rather brief article on ADF&G. The differing regulations in the various units and subunits seems pretty critical to understanding how they regulate such a vast area. Hinters are expected to know what area they are in and if their permit is still valid should they move into the next unit while pursuing game. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No opinion regarding deletion here, but I must ask the nominator why it is relevant that every state has one? Every state has a capital city, but does that take away the notability there? Am I missing something? AutomaticStrikeout (T • C) 19:38, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree, the nom is pretty weak and does not cite any policy-based reason for deletion as well as ignoring the obvious idea of merging. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

per WP:NMUSIC not really enough information to warrant an independent article — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 20:46, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JUST A RANDOM USER: Hey kid, this is apparently the article on the forthcoming release, that is to say "the article in progress", just like your Wiki page where you say "It's still a work in progress so mind the mess please. LOL". So, slower on the "delete" trigger, please. Perhaps more approrpate would be to flag it as "in lack of citations" or something, but only past the release date, when it could be merged with the discography page of the artist - but maybe I am just not aware of some of your editorial practices, as I am not an admin or editor here, just a user, although the one who does not see any benefit in deleting articles like this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.175.67.129 (talk) 21:51, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Skylar Grey (ideally edit - both this and her article are a bit scrappy). This article contains various information on what Grey has been doing recently, including her latest single release, and some is sourced and most is likely to be source-able. But it's policy not to have articles on unreleased albums especially if they don't have firm release dates, and some of this info though sourced may be outdated when/if the album is released. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:42, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elvis (pinball)

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

Nothing special about this recent pinball machine, and no particular media notice. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : Couldn't find any reliable sources in web, news or books hits, beyond those that mentioned the mere existence of this - certainly nothing that indicated any notability. There were a few things that said Elvis himself liked pinball, but that's nothing to do with this. I find it unlikely that anyone would type "Elvis (pinball)" into the search box, so a merge would not be appropriate. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:33, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Embedded event manager

This article was deleted by PROD in July 2012‎. An anonymous editor has now requested undeletion, which I have done. The PROD reason was "This product does not appear notable; no evidence of notability. Fails WP:N and WP:V." I disagree about WP:V, as the subject of the article is about a proprietary system, and documentation on the company's web site is perfectly verifiable. However, WP:N is a different matter, as there is no evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines. The subject is a part of the organisation of a proprietary system, with no existence or relevance outside the operation of that system. Apart from documentation on the company's own site, there are mentions in blogs, wikis, and other unreliable sources, and a few brief "how to" notes for users of the system, but no substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. (Although it is not a reason for deletion, for context it is perhaps worth mentioning that the article was created by a single-purpose account, the user of which stated that he was working for Cisco, the company responsible for this product.) JamesBWatson (talk) 09:23, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to add the several books by Cisco Press to that "Apart from" qualifier. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 17:18, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
FYI: There is an ongoing campaign by Avaya pushers/employees to destroy coverage of everything Cisco on Wikipedia. JamesBWatson is not involved in this, I'm just pointing this out for context regarding the battling SPAs. I have not evaluated the notability of this particular article and it may very well warrant deletion. Gigs (talk) 17:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gravity DIP Records

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

This article was initially nominated in 2006 and was deleted but resurfaced after 4 months. Unfortunately, it seems nothing much has changed since then, a Google News archives search provides this (brief mentions) and this (focuses more with one of their artists than the company itself). Google News archives also provided three Music Week results here (at the bottom, second to the bottom and the third is at the next page). Google News UK and Google Books provided nothing useful. I think this is a such a small company that their website redirects to a blog after clicking "enter", no professional or detailed website. SwisterTwister talk 06:43, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - having conducted a search I could find only one source that could possibly be considered "coverage" (this), but even that wouldn't be considered "significant coverage" enough to be considered a source that confers notability. I just can't see anyway the subject meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Would be keen to consider any sources anyone else can find but I'm not seeing it at the moment. Stalwart111 23:46, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All the Google news links except the first one repeat the same thing "This article is part of an on-going series on the challenges I've faced in producing two free-licensed movies, Marya Morevna, through the Morevna Project and Lunatics, which we are working on as Anansi Spaceworks." and the last result is another brief mention. Additionally, it seems the author of all those entries is Terry Hancock who is connected to the Morevna Project, making it a primary source. Really, all I'm seeing is that the project's purpose is to work on a film adaption of the folk tale, they are working independently and using open source software but no other significant work, from what I'm aware. My own search provided this announcement seeking new artists. SwisterTwister talk 01:55, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Morevna Project is active and (IMHO) quite relevant to both free software and free culture. They just released their first finished animation demo, which is a 5-minute segment of the longer story. I'm not sure if it's valid to call me a "primary source". I have written about the project a lot; I have been in contact with the project leader; and I have contributed English-translation assistance. If that is sufficient to be considered a primary source, then it seems to me that this creates a significant disadvantage to open projects which accept such outside contributions. I covered Morevna Project because it is a landmark for free-culture and free-software film production, like the Blender Foundation "Open Movies" and like Sita Sings the Blues. Morevna is unique in its association with Synfig and in the fact that it is a film project following an open-source collaboration method. It has also been written about by a number of other sources, including LibreGraphicsWorld, LWN, and TET (I found these on the first page of a quick Google search). The demo film was also publicly screened recently. Although the article now correctly notes the use of non-free music in the demo, this is also true of both the Blender Foundation movies and "Sita Sings the Blues". We're still waiting to see a film project with a completely free soundtrack, although that is one of the goals on my own project. Digitante (talk) 22:11, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per previous delete comments, my own searches find the same. Also, the Libre Graphics and TET sources mentioned are blog posts. I'm a bit dubious of the reliability of the LWN cite, but it's probably the best of the bunch. All in all, still well short of substantial coverage from reliable sources. If a better case can be made, now or in the future, happy to revisit. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for topic's failure of WP:N... HERE. While a decent article may well be possible in the future, the topic lacks enough independent coverage for inclusion. I did not want this deleted solely because it was deleted on some unrelated ru.Wikipedia elsewhere by some other set of rules, and wish to thank those above who looked at the topic through our own considerations.

Non-notable actor / filmmaker. A "lead role" in a film that has been in production since 2006, but not yet released, and producer/director credits for several films of little notability.

Delete - the article says the subject has won some awards but only one of these can be verified (I tried to find sources for the others but couldn't find anything). Before the awards could be considered against WP:N, they would still need to be WP:V. I think we would need at least a couple more "significant coverage" sources for the subject to meet WP:GNG.

Tiffany Briscoe

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

Subject fails both the general notability guideline and WP:POLITICIAN. The article survived the first Afd based on the fact that she was the nominee of the Boston Tea Party, which at the time she was. However, (as detailed in the article) she was later removed as the nominee by the BTP well before the election (and before the party disbanded), apparently for misrepresenting her credentials (see Talk:Tiffany Briscoe). She didn't appear on any state ballots in the 2012 election, and article's citations are mostly non-reliable sources and dead links. Clearly non-notable and should be deleted.

Delete; there does not appear to be sufficient reliable sources where the subject has received significant coverage to warrant the subject meet WP:POLITICIAN and WP:ANYBIO. The subject has received multiple passing mentions, however the subject is connected to the event of the 2012 Presidential Election but is not independently notable outside of the event. Therefore, a better redirect target may be United States presidential election, 2012.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:24, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Oh, please. No Reliable Sources are provided at the article, and it does not appear that any Reliable Sources took notice of her. Not worth a redirect. The grand total of votes that were cast for her in the party's "online nominating process open to all BTP members" was 13 votes out of 20, according to Boston Tea Party (political party). (The actual link appears to be dead, not surprising since the party is defunct). Surely there has to be SOME kind of minimum support requirement before a "party nominee" becomes notable! --MelanieN (talk) 01:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New quantum theory

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

This article presents a new theory based on the idea that photons have mass and an off-centre nucleus. It is straight copy of this paper published last month in the Indian Journal of Science and Technology. Copyright permission is claimed on the talk page, with an OTRS ticket number. Whether or not the physics is any good, Wikipedia does not publish original research: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery." Searches turn up quite a lot of "New Quantum Physics" but nothing about this one - unsurprisingly, as it was published only last month. JohnCD (talk) 22:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete as inadequately sourced WP:OR. The content is utter nonsense. WP has no ban on such pseudoscientific theories but the bar for inclusion is set very high, requiring reliable sources reporting on the controversy in detail. The only actual source is the paper it's a copy of, which being similarly nonsensical is of no use as a source.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 23:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly original research spam. No prejudice on recreation in the (unlikely) case it gets some attention from the scientific community. Also I have doubts the paper is published on an actaully reliable academic journal. --Cyclopia ^talk 23:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree that it raises doubts about the journal that it is published in. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Well, respected journals like PNAS have published utter nonsense too. What raises my hairy eyebrows is the lack of a DOI and of any impact factor information in the journal kinda-crappy website.

Being a new editor doesn't mean that the policies are enforced less, it just means it's explained to them. Userfication is for notable subjects that can be developed whereas this is primarily sourced from a Journal of dubious quality. In this case it is Original Research and there is no agreement in the scientific community as to it's verifiability, thus according to WP:RS or lack there of in this case it is WP:OR and not allowed. No one here is trying to bite an editor it's more so to protect the hard work being put forth on quality over quantity especially because wikipedia is usually within the top ten web results usually.

The following is a comment posted on my user talk page. I have copied it here because it seems relevant to the discussion --Odie5533 (talk) 21:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the normal number of teams who enter the FA Cup. The external link is there for the results to be verified and that is the normal way for every season in the FA Cup history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313_FA_Cup_Qualifying_Rounds and this season is no different. Have a look at previous seasons from 2012-13 to show this.

I take it you are not an association football/soccer fan. The FA Cup is one of the oldest cup competitions ever and so many clubs enter that they have to have so many rounds before it gets into the 1st Round Proper. The seasons in English football is not showing the Qualifying Rounds for many seasons at present, and I am hoping to fill in the gaps right up to the 2007-08 season.

I have done this for many seasons in The Football League Cup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_League_Cup and Scottish League Cup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_League_Cup

Keep The individual seasons, including qualifying rounds, of the FA Cup are extremely notable and have received significant coverage for more than 100 years! Just because at the moment the article is admittedly just a list of matches, it doesn't mean that prose and a proper article couldn't be written, for example you could write about significant matches or results, any new teams from the previous year, the leagues that the competing teams came from, the regional format of the draws or any number of other things. This book contains all the results and shows how important the Cup is in English football history. Not to mention the endless coverage that the matches would have received in local newspapers and football yearbooks, etc. To the points above, obviously you won't find much coverage online for a competition so long ago, but having online sources is not a requirement for notability. And Odie5533, of course you didn't find anything in the BNA – the archives only go up to 1950 so you aren't likely to find much about 1953–54, are you...

Is your problem with the article that the creator accidentially wrote Laotian instead of Philippine football team or do you question the notability of this particular sportsperson as such?

Delete Although he'd surely not play for the national team anytime soon barring a massive injury to the first choice keeper, he's the starting keeper for the Loyola Meralco Sparks F.C., but the UFL isn't a fully-professional league as most players have day jobs. Ergo, it fails WP:NFOOTBALL. –H T D 14:15, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But the UFL is still the de-facto premier league of Filipino football, isn't it? It's still the highest level of football in the Philippines, right? Honestly, I thought that the UFL was already fully professional. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 15:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is de facto the top flight in the Philippines but it isn't fully professional. For example, the members of the Loyola side that participated in the 2012 Singapore Cup had to file leaves on their day (or night) jobs in order to participate (I dunno if Cuaresma was one of them). As cited in that article, there were even instances where players left at halftime to go to their day/night jobs. Could be more tragic for the armed forces sides if they're deployed to a war zone and can't participate in some key matches. –H T D 15:18, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This, of course, depends on how you'd define "professional", much less "fully professional". There was a court case several years ago on whether the Philippine Basketball League (which billed itself as a "semi-professional" league) is a professional league; the court ruled that it is a professional league, which made it to be subjected to the regulation of the Games and Amusements Board (GAB). The GAB regulates professional sports in the country from the Philippine Basketball Association up to the likes of the URCC and professional boxing via issuing licenses to players. I dunno what's the status of the UFL vis a vis with the GAB, but I don't think it has anything to do with it as long as "fully professional" is concerned. –H T D 15:33, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Unless I've missed one, it's not clear to me that sources really cover this as a class, rather than as individual examples (which is perhaps a pedantic distinction, but perhaps not). That said, the argument that it's a non-encyclopaedic cross categorization falls flat on its face; the nationality of players on a national team is not a random category, List of footballers born in Scotland who prefer dark lagers over light lagers this is not. So, policy wise both positions are fairly weak. Augmenting that, the headcount is about tied. I can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Wily D 07:42, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. (I have redacted the lengthier previous discussion that you didn't read.)

1. This is an interesting, non-trivial, reasonably referenced article that adds to what individual bios provide.
2. Although this type of article may not be some people's cup of tea, it would be missed by others. Wikipedia serves different types of reader.
3. The nominator cites two "analogous" AfDs, but doesn't point up relevant dissimilaries to this article: one was unreferenced, and the other was a project of disproportionate scope. I have read these AfD decisions carefully. While there was consensus for deleting these specific articles, no properly explicit discussion arrived at a consensus that "all Wikipedia articles with this format are trivial." These articles were ultimately deleted on their individual merits. Some language in the AfDs may have led to an understandable perception that the class of article was trivial but that perception is nonetheless a mischaracterizing over-generalization.
4. In short, I strongly disagree that a formal policy emerged in these AfDs. FeatherPluma (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's interesting that the equivalent article about the world's foremost footballing nation was deleted with comments such as "trivial" and "notability implausible" without anyone even giving any evidence of having looked for sources, but this one about what has become in recent decades a very minor force in world football attracts so many defenders. The blatant bias in our coverage of football appears to be continuing. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly grant you that that other article may or may not have gone through a perfect AfD. But Wikipedia is not irreversible, for example if new evidence of notability comes before us all. You and the nominator appear to prefer to have the two articles dealt with as a general class: you both point to their similarities. But you seem to potentially be on different sides of the keep / delete debate. The nominator is arguing for deletion of all similar articles based on TYPE of article, you for bias if one is kept and the other not. BUT one current dissimilarity to that other article is the claim in its AfD write up that it was unreferenced. This article is, and that is relevant from a Wikipedia viewpoint. Now as to whether a proper literature search was not done in behalf of the other article, I would share with the results of my preliminary research which is that you are in fact correct: there is at least one very pertinent good WP:RS that should have been considered. But it wasn't, and you do show in the AfD log. So complaints of bias may be going a little too far. As such, it would be preferable to step back and deal with both articles separately and in a Wikipedian way. That said, so as far as that other article goes some eventual energy in getting it going again may be in order if 1. the correct procedure here (without finger-pointing and bias-mongering) highlights that the class of article is NOT trivial (as some contend, which is their right as an opinion, and one which I do not share at all) and 2. the Brazil article is drafted and referenced and submitted with that relevant fact presented for community review. Sorry if this is long, and also apologies if it seems to be criticising you (or indeed anyone), which is NOT my intention. This whole thing is a potential fiasco, and could have been shut down with a good WP:RS in the Brazil article. FeatherPluma (talk) 05:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Referenced, interesting, an ongoing subject of discussion in national newspapers. Can't see what the problem is save an unreasonable assumption that the logic applied to a similar but unreferenced article should be used here too. Ben Mac Dui 09:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Except that the reason given by most people in the Brazil deletion discussion was not that it was unreferenced, which could easily have been fixed by copying references from the individual players' articles, but that such a topic is inherently too trivial for an encyclopedia article. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:32, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know a great deal about Brazil. Perhaps the subject is treated less seriously there. Perhaps, as your first post above is hinting at, there are simply fewer en-Wiki editors with a genuine interest in Brazil to defend the cultural position of that nation. Perhaps this is what you meant by "blatant bias". Ben Mac Dui 20:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's more that many editors dismiss articles about not-British footballing topics as inherently trivial, and claim that notability is implausible, so call for deletion without any attempt to find sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:27, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

REname to List of Scottish-born footballers who have played for other countries: Still a mouthful but slightly more succinct. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Phil and GiantSnowman, if we developed consensus on many of these lists before including Brazil, why make an exception for Scottish footballers. Secret ^account 00:07, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was one of those who participated in the deletion-discussion on the Brazilian equivalent, and I stand by what I said there: "The Scottish list should be deleted too". I believe these kind of list are those that are mentioned in WP:NOTDIRECTORY #7: Wikipedia-articles are not "non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations such as..." Mentoz86 (talk) 22:49, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as stated above. WP:NOT expressly prohibits this type of article. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:34, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTDIRECTORY #7 states that "Cross-categories like these are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon" -- I would suggest that the fact there is repeated coverage of this issue in reliable sources suggests it is a "culturally significant phenomenon". Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - As Jmorrison230582 implies, the example given in the "express prohibition" text at WP:NOTDIRECTORY #7 appears to be crafted so as to be irrefutably trite. Judge for yourselves whether this list is that "culturally insignificant." I favor the rename suggestion of Peterkingiron. Very interested to see how this AfD emerges, but reckon I'll disengage as I've given my opinion already. FeatherPluma (talk) 17:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The argument per WP:NOTDIRECTORY mentioned above is convincing. I don't see how this particular intersection of personal characteristics is a culturally significant (read: notable) topic. To establish that, we'd need a source discussing this issue as such (i.e., the issue of Scots playing for non-Scottish national teams), and no such source is cited in the article as far as I can tell.

Usual analysis for non-notable minor league baseball player . . . no presumption of notability per WP:NBASEBALL because he's never played a MLB game, and media coverage of his minor league career has not generated sufficient depth of independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. We do not extend a presumption of notability under WP:NBASEBALL based on a player being listed on a MLB team's 40-man roster; must have appeared in an actual regular season MLB game.

Fails WP:NOTABLE, WP:NOTNEWSPAPER and WP:ONEEVENT Not encyclopedic, just a run of the mill news story. If Michael Mastro had been notable in his own right, this would rate a mention on his article.

Background (by article creator) This article started its life as The Bankruptcy and extradition of Michael Mastro. It was moved to "Michael Mastro" by an editor who replaced the stub template and plastered the article with several "multiple issues" tags. The article’s new name does not represent the contents of the article, but since I am not endowed with article-moving rights on Wikipedia, I was not able to revert this move - and had to ask this editor to revert his move. Instead of reverting the move a discussion has been initiated on the talkpage. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:12, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a run-of-the-mill news story no matter what the page is titled. Nowhere near the level of notability required for an article. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 16:19, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and also because WP:NOT#NEWS. §FreeRangeFrog 19:40, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I moved the page after that I "replaced the stub template and plastered the article with several "multiple issues" tags", yes it was me. I questioned all along whether someone should have a separate article about something that happened to them without actually having a biographical article behind it. So that was the basis of the move. After reading some of the discussion on the talk page I may have been wrong, still doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, so I was getting close to wiping my hands of the situation and reverting the move and letting someone else do whatever they wanted (discussion would be moot if the belligerent pulled out, wouldn't it?). But now the article has been nominated for deletion (by someone else I might add), I agree that the article fails to meet WP:BIO and should be deleted. If the person was notable for being a "real estate developer who was in business for forty years managing apartments and midsize office parks in Seattle" then they would be worthy of the article. -- Patchy1 23:27, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

without actually having a biographical article behind it -- Don't tell us you still haven't understood WP:BLP1E. There are many articles about notable single events involving otherwise non-notable people. Some of those articles have made it to featured status.

The articles (as you correctly say) are about the events, not the non-notable people who had a part to play in those events. If Mastro had been involved in the moon landings he could be mentioned in an article about the moon landings without necessarily meriting a stand-alone article on himself. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:38, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So I presume you support the move request? --87.79.128.230 (talk) 06:31, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So that was the basis of the move. -- In other words, your move had no basis.

If the person was notable for being a "real estate developer who was in business for forty years managing apartments and midsize office parks in Seattle" then they would be worthy of the article. -- Again, WP:BLP1E. Ian Tomlinson as a person is clearly not notable; but the circumstances of his death clearly are. You are "arguing" in full ignorance of Wikipedia policy and encyclopedic best practice. --87.78.237.22 (talk) 20:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the title of that article refers to the event (a person's death in questionable circumstances which resulted in massive media coverage and a trial). It's not about the person himself. Tomlinson was not notable as a person before that event, and he is not notable now as a person, because he has done nothing notable. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:38, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a request to move the article to Bankruptcy and extradition of Michael Mastro. --87.79.128.230 (talk) 06:59, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, WP:BLP1E. He is not a notable person, so his bankruptcy and extradition are not notable. Harry the Dog WOOF 08:54, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You still don't get it. Ian Tomlinson was not a notable person. The circumstances of his death are clearly notable though. The person and the events surrounding them are distinct topics. Michael Mastro may not be notable, but that does not automatically mean that the events surrounding him are not notable either. One plus one equals two. I don't know how this could be explained any clearer. Unless you are deliberately refusing to understand this, you should now know the difference. I hope. --78.35.240.67 (talk) 02:41, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. You Wikipedia editors are so full of yourselves and self-centered. I was reading an article about Mastro in the local (Seattle) paper and decided to learn more from Wikipedia. I landed on this entry and discovered the article is set for deletion for some typical BS rules as interpreted by self-absorbed editors. What a disaster Wikipedia has become.

As a tech-savvy internet user, I presume you're aware of services like WhoisIP, right? So why don't you first check 98.237.200.212 against 87.78.237.22 (e.g. using cqcounter.com/whois) before jumping to demonstrably false conclusions? --87.79.128.230 (talk) 06:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What does that service have to do with anything?

I feel like I'm feeding the trolls here, but just for accuracy's sake, let me pile on a well-deserved warning against assuming bad faith. You assumed, when you not only had no reason to do so but the immediate option to test and falsify that hypothesis, that the original IP commenter and me (the guy who warned you) are the same person. --78.35.240.67 (talk) 02:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as run-of-the-mill news story with no lasting impact or notability -- regardless of the move request: Neither Mastro nor the story surrounding him are notable.

Keep I realize that my comments will continue to be ignored because:
- I am a nobody at Wikpedia whose article-moving-rights have been stripped
- I am this article's "creator"

However I would still like to have my say just in case some time in the future sense will start to prevail.

There are three criteria used as justification in this deletion nomination:

As far as notability is concerned this article which is about the "biggest bankruptcy case in the history of Washington state" relies on NINE independent reliable secondary sources and dozens of references - can someone please explain to me once more how this fails wp:notable?
The second and third criteria are not applicable in this case since this article is NOT a biography. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    - Please actually read the move request section at the article talk page. It happens to be very pertinent to your point. The request is to move the article to Bankruptcy and extradition of Michael Mastro along the lines of other BIO1E articles like Death of Ian Tomlinson. --87.79.128.230 (talk) 06:42, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - The death of Ian Tomlinson was a major event, resulting in massive news coverage, resignations, a trial of a serving police officer, changes in how the police operate etc. etc. This is basically a run-of-the-mill news event that will be forgotten as soon as the news coverage peters out. Mastro is not notable, and his bankruptcy is not notable according to Wikipedia policy. Harry the Dog WOOF 08:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. Buggie111 (talk) 20:45, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Rename - to something relating to the WP:EVENT rather than the person. There are plenty of WP articles about events, rather than the individuals involved. If people contend that it is the event that is notable, rather that the person, then there might be a case for an event-related article, provided the reliable sources are there to back it up. Without WP:OTHERSTUFFING this too much, please see Conrad Murray and Trial of Conrad Murray as an example. The person doesn't have to be individually notable for the event itself to be notable. But if there's no appetite for an event-related article, this biographical article should be deleted (per AutomaticStrikeout above). Stalwart111 00:46, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Since this person is the central character in the bankruptcy, it makes sense for the article to be named after the person rather than attempting to make it an article about a news event. Either way, WP:BLP applies just as much, and all statements about living persons need to be sourced. This is a keep for me because there is plenty of information out there to write an article, and certainly to meet WP:BIO. VQuakr (talk) 05:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is at least a notable event with reliable sourcing. --Born2cycle (talk) 01:19, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That was kind of my point - this is a fairly classic case of WP:BLP1E - the subject is notable because of the one event. He would otherwise be non-notable. But there seems to be no particular reason why we can't have an article about that one event. Stalwart111 02:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, WP:BIO1E applies more - particularly the paragraph about the person having a major role in a minor event. There is no reason an article that describes the more general events related to the person, cannot bear the name of that person. In any case, that is a discussion for the article talk page and another move discussion and should not have any bearing on whether the article is kept/deleted. Based on your response, can you consider updating your delete !vote above? VQuakr (talk) 02:32, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Get entirely where you're coming from. BIO1E, though, says, "Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident", which is what I advocated above and is the basis of the Conrad Murray example I gave. My second point, though, was that if people contend that even the event is non-notable (given it is just one of dozens of extradition cases each year which result from various marginally notable crimes) then deleting this article without creating / redirecting / renaming would be fine by me. But I also have no particular objection to such an article (title) being created if others believe otherwise. I suppose it probably shouldn't have been moved in the first place... Stalwart111 02:59, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename Notable event that shouldn't have been turned into a biography. A good example of why, except in obvious straightforward cases, page moves without prior discussion should be quickly reverted. This AfD was unnecessary and pointless; sadly there's a faction of users who find the best way to build the encyclopedia is to go around looking for things to delete. Joefromrandb (talk) 14:35, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The best way to build a quality encyclopedia is to delete articles that do not meet the community's guidelines and policies. Even as an "event", this is non-notable. Thousands of people go bankrupt and commit fraud every day. Harry the Dog WOOF 14:48, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's not the best way to build a quality encyclopedia, and yes, as an event it is notable. Joefromrandb (talk) 14:51, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want your comments to be taken seriously, please assume good faith and explain how it is notable based on Wikipedia policies. Just saying "It's notable" isn't enough. Where is the sustained and ongoing coverage in multiple sources, for example? If Wikipedia is full of dross it ceases to be a quality encyclopedia. That's why we have guidelines and policies.

@Harry the Dog, in regards to the "sustained and ongoing coverage in multiple sources" I have already addressed this on Nov 23. Did you see my comment? Ottawahitech (talk) 21:16, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sustained and ongoing? There has been a blip of media coverage following his arrest (which you picked up on to create the article). A Google search turns up less than a page and a half of news all dating from the beginning to the middle of the month (some of them blogs) and relating to his arrest. This is three years after the main event. It wasn't notable then and it isn't notable now. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:39, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Harry the Dog, This story(the biggest bankruptcy in the history of Washington State) has been covered at least since 2010 by publications such as the WSJ and at least eight others. What does it take to be considered "Sustained and ongoing"?

Compare the Google hits on Ian Tomlison vs Michael Mastro and you will see the difference. Massive coverage of the Tomlinson story. Pages of results. For Mastro I find mainly blogs (including the WSJ) but no sustained and and ongoing coverage of Mastro or his bankruptcy in mainstream media. A few blogs and the odd newspaper article (none of which confirm the claims about it being the biggest bankruptcy, certainly not in terms of the amount of money unsecured creditors are left owed) do not constitute sustained and ongoing coverage. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:02, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thousands of people go bankrupt and commit fraud every day. Can you rephrase this in the context of policy and/or notability guidelines? I see you reference three guidelines in your nomination, but they seem rather speciously selected considering the subject appears to meet WP:BASIC and WP:GNG.

I don't see that he does meet either of those guidelines. If he did, there would be coverage of all his notable achievements easily found. But he has not achieved anything notable more than any other run-of-the-mill businessman who made a fortune in the good times and lost it when the economy tanked. I have searched high and low for articles called "The bankruptcy of..." and cannot find any. Going bankrupt is not in and of itself notable. Bankruptcies are mentioned in the articles of notable people, but not as separate events for non-notable people. If sources can be found that show Mastro is notable beyond this one thing (which is not in and of itself notable) then by all means he should have an article, and his bankruptcy should be mentioned in it. Harry the Dog WOOF 16:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point out where "notable achievements" are listed as criteria at WP:BASIC or WP:GNG? VQuakr (talk) 01:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have to look beyond the basic policies which I did quote in my nom (WP:NOTABLE. In this case, you have to look at events. Clearly Mastro's bankruptcy fails that. And if he is not notable for that, what is he notable for? The policies presuppose that the subject of the article must be notable for something (good or bad), achievements in shorthand. This is a classic example of someone who is temporarily in the news for nothing notable at all, and who isn't otherwise notable.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harry the Dirty Dog (talk • contribs)

This bankruptcy involved a default on over $600 million in debt, so WP:MILL related arguments are not a slam-dunk. Coverage has continued for years, and it is a remarkable stretch to refer to it as a singular event, let alone a "classic" example of temporary coverage. WP:N that you link immediately above includes the general notability guideline, which in my opinion this subject unequivocally meets. VQuakr (talk) 08:14, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Loads of bankruptcies involve far more money than that. The coverage which caused this article to be created is definitely temporary. Or else it would have been created three years ago. This will fade from public view as most other bankruptcies do, unless they involve notable people. WP:GNG is the bare minimum. That just saves the article from speedy deletion. Beyond that you have to look at [[WP:GNG] in the context of other policies to determine whether it is really notable. Just meeting the basic requirements is not enough. If it fails other policies, it fails WP:NOTABLE. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:05, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is a novel opinion, but it is not supported by policy, WP:SPEEDY, or the notability guidelines. Loads of bankruptcies involve far more money than that. Ok, name five personal bankruptcies involving larger defaults. VQuakr (talk) 09:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not novel at all. Google the bankruptcy records for yourself. La Toya Jackson is one. There were 1.5 million personal bankruptcies in the US in 2009. You'll find that either those bankrupts are notable people and the bankruptcy is mentioned in their article, or they aren't notable and there is no Wikipedia article called "The Bankruptcy of X". The amount of the bankruptcy is irrelevant. Harry the Dog WOOF 09:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not novel at all. This isn't an argument, it's contradiction. Where, in our policies or guidelines, do you find the material that leads you to believe that the GNG is an invalid "keep" rationale or has anything to do with speedy deletion? Jackson's bankruptcy was over a sum about 1/900th as large as that of the subject here, and Mastro's press coverage has been continuous for years and been far deeper than a routine "so and so filed for bankruptcy." VQuakr (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not novel because GNG doesn't guarantee inclusion. An assertion of notability under GNG is enough to save an article from a speedy but if it still fails other policies it can still be deleted after discussion. That's the whole point of AfDs. As to the amount, I have read that unsecured creditors will be left owed about $250 million - by far not the biggest amount in history. If reliable sources exist to show that it is the biggest bankruptcy in history then Mastro might well be notable as history's biggest individual bankrupt. But I am not seeing that. Harry the Dog WOOF 18:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The best way to build a quality encyclopedia is to delete articles that do not meet the community's guidelines and policies." At worst this is a borderline case. The event has had coverage in reliable news sources. Most bankruptcy and fraud cases don't. Besides that, how exactly is the encyclopedia improved at all by deleting such articles, much less is it the "best way" to improve it? You, I and every other WP user will never, ever see the vast, vast majority of all WP articles. What difference does it make if some of those don't meet the community's guidelines and policies? Much more important, it seems to me, is that information is there for those who are looking for it. And someone could look for information about this case. So what harm is there in leaving it? --Born2cycle (talk) 20:33, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but that amounts to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. When we come across such articles we should take what action is needed (improve them, merge them, nominate them for deletion or whatever). This is especially true for borderline BLPs. In this case I decided to seek a community view on deletion because I didn't think it could be improved since I see nothing else that makes Mastro notable. It's well sourced, but at the moment these are only allegations. He is a bankrupt but he hasn't been convicted of anything. Harry the Dog WOOF 20:49, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but you didn't answer my question. How is WP harmed by the continued existence of this article? How is WP improved by its deletion? --Born2cycle (talk) 20:59, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't the issue. WP has polices and either articles meet them or they don't. Articles that are questionable are nominated for deletion and the community decides by consensus. The policies are there to ensure that WP remains a quality resource. Harry the Dog WOOF 21:09, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You made it the issue by contending that deleting such articles is the "best way" to improves the quality of the encyclopedia. How is the quality of WP improved by deleting articles like this one? Or are you backing away from that assertion? --Born2cycle (talk) 22:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. An encyclopedia can have loads of quality articles but if it is also full of dross, it pulls the whole quality of the enterprise down. That is why we have policies for inclusion. It's not a free for all. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. The best way to improve the quality of an otherwise sound chain is to get rid of that link. If an article doesn't meet those policies it should go. I was explaining why I nominated it for the community to decide by consensus. The only issue here is whether the article meets the policies for inclusion. The rest is distraction. I do not see how either Mastro or his bankruptcy are notable. Harry the Dog WOOF 06:04, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOHARM is a poor reason for keeping any article. The particular line of discussion is unlikely to be productive and I respectfully suggest it be dropped. VQuakr (talk) 01:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Harry the Dirty Dog, the basis of your position seems to be, "An encyclopedia can have loads of quality articles but if it is also full of dross, it pulls the whole quality of the enterprise down." Putting aside the question of whether this article qualifies as dross, please explain how articles that are dross "pulls the whole quality of the enterprise down".

I maintain that if WP was frozen as is, but then hundreds or even thousands of dross articles were added, the overall quality would not be lowered, because all of the useful information would still be there. Everyone would still get just as much utility out of WP with or without those dross articles. --Born2cycle (talk) 17:58, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Article has the wrong name" is not a valid reason for deletion, but I do not see where in the discussion that appears to have been a major factor in editors' !votes.

Move back to original page, and file another AFD if it still doesn't seem to pass muster there.

No you are not alone, I myself live in Seattle and have been fascinated by the Mastro story as it has emerged, and am dumbfounded by the all-knowing Wikipedia editors living in who knows what parts of the world that don't think this rates as worth the obviously limited ink available on Wikipedia. Whatever - I don't have a dog in this fight but it certainly does make me question the value of Wikipedia as a credible source. As I've said before, I came here seeking more information about Mastro after reading a yet another news update on the case, and was startled to see on this page that so many Wikipedia editors think it's a non-event. They also appear to have an extraordinary amount of time on their hands - which is amusing in and of itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.200.212 (talk) 23:25, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- Unfortuantely neither the article nor the first newspaper cited state the size of the bankruptcy and fraud. The entirety seems to be about whether jewellery worth $1.4M were or were not available to the creditors. Thius seems to me a very routine issue, which has been blown up in the press (at the request of the police), because he had become a fugitive. But for that, it would probably not merited more than a mention in the newspapers. WP:NOTNEWS. If the article is to remain at its present ___location, we need a full biography.

I disagree with your assessment that the reliable sources are solely about jewelry or the extradition. For example coverage from 2009 discusses a bit of his background and the fact that he owed creditors over 600 million. An article in Forbes from 2011 also predates the extradition, though the author suggests that leaving the country is one of few options left to the subject. These are two examples out of many; coverage is not limited to the last few weeks or to local coverage from the Seattle area. VQuakr (talk) 20:56, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At least for now. The content and sourcing are for a news story which should not exist as a separate article. It has been renamed to the name of the central character in the story, but there is not content to make it such, and, more importantly no sourcing to establish wp:notability for the individual. That doesn't preclude getting the sources required to wp:notability and creating an article later. North8000 (talk) 11:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it, I don't care where. The article title is irrelevant and easy to change. Easily meets the WP:GNG, our primary guideline, with in-depth articles in Forbes, Wall Street Journal, The Seattle Times, and many, many others. The Steve 09:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "...and many, many others." Where? Google returns a page and a half of coverage, including several blogs (of which the WSJ is one). Articles that meet GNG can still be deleted if they fall down at other hurdles, which I believe this one does. Otherwise every event that was covered in enough blogs to fill a page and a half of Google results would be included. Harry the Dog WOOF 11:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. The Associated Press, several articles, The Seatle Post-Intelligencer, 10+ articles, including many mentions before the "event", The Stranger, Knight Ridder Trubune, several articles. Twenty-nine articles on "Mastro Properties" in reliable sources from 1999-2011, all relevant. Shall I go on? The Steve 07:53, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I meant sources showing why this bankruptcy is notable, as this article is all about that, and many of the "keep" comments refer to renaming or merging?. As I said before, if we have sources to show that Mastro himself is notable we can have a more detailed article on him as an individual rather than a sensationalistic article on the most recent event. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This particular Afd is about Michael Mastro, NOT the bankruptcy, and I think I've just demonstrated my Keep vote quite nicely, don't you? The bio needs some work, but there are 12 years of news stories for his background, including almost 50 from the Seattle Times alone. The Steve 13:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If Mastro can be shown to be notable then a proper biography can be created. The creator originally created an article about the bankruptcy and he and many of his supporters are arguing it should be moved back to that title in a effort to keep it. As such, it is not notable and should be deleted, no matter what its title. Note that neither the author nor anyone else has used these past couple of weeks to improve the article in the ways you have suggested. If that had been done II would have withdrawn my nomination. If someone can make a case for Mastro's notability and wants to create an article that is more than just sensationalism, they can. There is plenty of precedent for articles being deleted and then recreated some time later when an article can be shown to be warranted. Harry the Dog WOOF 15:23, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have shown Mastro to be notable (see my sources, above). Making a "proper" biography will be done in the course of regular editing, building on the existing article. Deleting the article on Mastro will not improve it. I am willing to improve this article, and it is now on my watchlist, but I don't have the time to do it before this AFD is closed. The Steve 08:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On that basis I will withdraw the nomination and wait for the improvements. Harry the Dog WOOF 11:46, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In this discussion the title should be irrelevant. It's absurd to decide to delete an article named A but keep the same article if it's renamed to B. That issue is for the (ongoing) RM discussion. The issue here is, or should be, about whether the content of the article is notable and sufficiently supported by reliable sources. If it needs to be improved, or the scope needs to change, that's worth noting too. --Born2cycle (talk) 18:26, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've made a start on Mastro's personal history, but info is sparse, as he was only barely notable before the bankruptcy. However, he was interviewed for his property business (cites now added) and mentioned in local social reports. I also found some court records (added) for those interested in exactly how much he was in debt. Cheers! The Steve 05:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This subject fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Even when the organization and its founder are mentioned, the actual topic of coverage is something else entirely, usually discrimination or a particular suit. The coverage doesn't amount to coverage substantially about this organization. Also, most sources I'm finding strike me as less than reliable (press releases, human interest) to support the magnitude of importance apparently claimed, especially in past versions of the article. For example, this rather promising CBS url leads to a piece authored by a "C4CFED." All that reliable sources indicate as far as WP:CORPDEPTH is this organization exists.

This band appears to fail WP:GNG and may not quite meet enough criteria of WP:BAND. Several searches have not yielded coverage in reliable sources. Sources in the article are blogs, Myspace pages and commercial sites. Per the article, they have released albums on various record labels that appear to be of the lesser-known variety, (except for Domo Records, so the topic seems to meet criteria #5 of WP:BAND). Is this enough to demonstrate overall topic notability for a standalone article? Per WP:BAND, a topic "may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria" of WP:BAND.

Keep - Reference no. 6 is from an independent source - Australian Council for Private Education & Training (ACPET) - commenting on the tie up between Australian Vocational Training & Education Group (AVTEG) and Athena School of Management (ASM). Furthermore, this tie-up is important and notable as AVTEG is a partner with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) (http://www.nsdcindia.org/) a non–for–profit public – private partnership set up by the Indian Ministry of Finance with an aim to skill or upskill 150 million Indians by 2022.

(Note: I signed your comment for you - you can use ~~~~ to sign your comments) - the problem with the source you cite is that it isn't really significant coverage of the subject which we need per WP:GNG and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. It's a passing mention of the subject within an article about a connected organisation's event. Per WP:INHERIT, the subject does not gain notability because of an "important relationship". Whether or not another organisation (AVTEG or NSDC) might be notable doesn't really have an impact on this subject. We need significant coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources for it to be considered notable. If you have some sources that fit the bill, I'm sure people would be keen to consider them. Stalwart111 11:56, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not yet notable: "the first batch of Athena will commence from January 7, 2013". This means classes have not yet started. All actually existing degree granting universities are notable, but I can not find in any of their material that they will actually offer a degree--they refer only to their "post-gratuate programme" In the context of Indian higher education, this probably means that, so far from obtaining any type of accreditation or psudo-accreditation to offer a degree, they have not yet made arrangements for a degree to be given to those completing their course by some institution having some sort of authorization to do so.. As the School will not have any graduates until 2015, I suppose there is no actual need for degrees yet. What they need now is enough advertising to attract students. We're not the place for it.

I note, btw, that the article has 4 photographs, all of the very same building--and it is clear from their slideshow that they occupy only a small part of it. And their arrangement with AVTEG is for that consultancy to help them "develop" courses--AVTEG is not an educational institution, and is probably non-notable--NSDC probably is, but that's yet another step removed DGG ( talk ) 02:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "This is a page about a bonafide institution giving valid education and degrees". An article in wiki should not be judged by whether the subject is new or old. It should be judged by whether it is relevant and reliable or not. The page gives accurate information about Athena. NO false claims are stated or made. The institution give degrees from Gulbarga University (which is a Govt. of India & UGC Accredited University).It is also partnering the Australian Institute of Management - Western Australia (AIMWA). Just because the first batch starts in January 2013 does not make it any less relevant. A school does not become relevant only once the students graduate from it. If that was the case then no secondary school would be relevant for at least 10 years! The page is a reliable source of information for people who may want to know more about the subject matter. That is the whole purpose of Wikipedia. Also as an institution gathers age and momentum it gets more and more coverage from citable sources. Information and knowledge are only as relevant as the people who crave them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.73.109.82 (talk) 11:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC) — 182.73.109.82 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

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

This fails WP:GNG. I propose it because an educational organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources which this department hasn't been. Note: Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources (if any at all) is not sufficient to establish notability.

Weak keep - Found a few sources myself. [12] is a local source, but it only talks about her losing her job, [13] mentions the same subject but seems to be a very short story. However, whilst doing a little digging I found something much more interesting than her radio work - she appears to have worked on a number of games and films - [14] shows her as having worked on Elder Scrolls III and Fallout 3, and [15] Metacritic pulls up these games and Star Trek Conquest/Legacy as also involving her.

Now, I've shown 5 sources with significant independent coverage. Please explain why they are not so. Have you even looked at the article and the sources? You've made a grave mistake in assuming I've come to a keep opinion by using means other than neutrality. I have no more connection to the article than you do. Feel free to change your argument to something with more factual accuracy and actual policy based reasoning. You're somewhere between ad hominem and contradiction on Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement.--v/r - T P 20:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First let me start by saying that you did a very good job in sourcing. You were able to dig up sources that nobody else, including me, could find. this was very good detective work, and I commend you for this. I am going to go through them and give my reasoning as to why I do not think they qualify. Please don't take the comments personally. I think you did a good job.

Nashville.com article, if anything, was damning, with the comment "Unfortunately it was not Galyon’s night last night. It could have been nerves or it could have been she was missing her piano which was a last-minute change to the performance...", this does not reinforce her notability.
The "taste of country" article was equally unimpressive, reading "“When you weren’t nervous you were so special,”... Gaylon said at that point she felt like she had gotten what she came for so she lost focus."
Hutchnews.com is a local Hutchington kansas concern. a single article there certainly does not denote notability.
"Digital Spy" is just an internet ad-mill that taps RSS feeds. Not Notable.
BuddyTV - The only source that seems (again in my humble opinon) to count is the BuddyTv source, which speaks of her work at The Voice. But is this it? All sorts of people worked at The Voice, how is she, in particular, notable? And to be perfectly honest, I have never even heard of BuddyTV until now.

None of this qualifies for WP:GNG which demands "significant coverage in reliable, independent sources". She was cut in the very first round. Perhaps as time goes on, this person will make a name for herself, but she simply hasn't been able to do that yet.--Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 23:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG requires that subjects be covered in articles, not that the articles speak highly of them. A quotation that suggests she was not on her game does not make a source any less of a source. Same for Taste of Country. Hutchnews, we've never declined a source because it is local. We only decline when all sources are local because they suggest local significance. Digital Spy: There is no evidence to suggest that article was an RSS feed. In fact, the "author" appears to have a page suggesting she wrote it instead of that it was pulled from an automatic RSS feed.

I think you are confused what "significant" means in the Wikipedia context. You seem to think it means "the article must be about a significant even" rather than "a significant portion of the article must be about the subject". WP:42 quite clearly explains "a cited reference must be about the subject – there must be at least one lengthy paragraph, and preferably more, directly covering it." These sources meet the "significant" requirement as explained in WP:42.--v/r - T P 00:10, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You make some valid points. But In my most humble opinion, these are simply all obscure references to a failed candidate. By this logic, every single candidate on that show could have their own article, as they certainly have all had similar coverage (If you want to call it that). I think that at the end of the day, when the smoke clears, the notability simply isn't there. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:20, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese Wikipedia article for her has a lot of citations, but most are to blogs and non-independent sources. But one link was to a regional newspaper: [24]. I should note that there are articles about the unit as well: [25]. To say she is a "complete unknown" is simply not true. Michitaro (talk) 01:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. 14 results for "小倉唯" on Google News, 5 different sources ("おた☆スケ", "インフォシーク", "マイナビニュース", "アニメ！アニメ！", "サーチナニュース"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyuganatsu (talk • contribs) 01:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not exactly sure how reliable the sources found by Hyganatsu are (they seem to be rather short). I did find some GNews hits, but they're about YuiKaori. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 21:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think the main issue here is whether there is enough significant coverage or activity beyond YuiKaori (the notability of which, with all the Oricon charting, is not questioned) to justify a stand alone page. I searched Oricon and was confused at first because this seems to show nothing. But a second search showed that there is another page here that shows she has several charting singles, including a recent one that reached number 8. As I noted with the Kaori Ishihara AfD, according to WP:MUSICBIO, a musician "may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria," one of which is "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." A top-ten charting plus the articles on her as a voice actor ([26] [27]), as a tarento (the citations I gave above), or as a solo singer ([28]) should be enough to pass WP:ENTERTAINER. Michitaro (talk) 21:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is significant coverage in a reliable source, as is this, reaching the final five in the Sapir Prize for Literature doesn't seem something that would happen to a non-notable writer, and his work is cited by several other authors. --Michig (talk) 21:41, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those two sources are about the book not the author (make a few comments about the author but the articles are about the book which has its own article). Nomination for a major prize would be notable under WP:ANYBIO .. if it happened multiple times. He only had a single nomination. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Per WP:AUTHOR #3, a film was named after the book. Uncertain how much the film follows the book, but still influential of the film. The National Book Publishers Association of Israel is red-link, but it was established in 1939, so it's a venerable institution in Israel and I'm assuming it carries significance to receive the top(?) Platinum award, per WP:ANYBIO #1. Note to ColdNorthWind2: The "problem" (from the point of view of AfD) is the author is notable for one book, and that one book has been given a separate article, thus separating from the author the one thing he is notable for (notability is not inherited across articles). If the book article were to be merged into the author article, there would be no problem meeting notability as all those other sources would become part of the article.-- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The "film" referenced by the Haaretz article is a 2-minute video clip that can be viewed at Oded Hirsch's website. Other than Hirsch also being from Afikim, the inclusion of this reference seems to me kind of pointless and serves to weaken the article on Home. I also think that Inbari's work in journalism and literary criticism is sufficiently strong enough to stand apart from his novel, and goes to notability. - ColdNorthWind2 (talk) 02:49, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ok struck the film as rationale. Also, unable to verify "Israel Book Publishers Association" Platinum prize is anything of note. I don't see any sources that show the author is notable outside the book, and since the author didn't win any major awards (per WP:ANYBIO) or meet other guidelines of WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR (all of the sources are primarily about the book, not the author), and since notability of the book is not inherited by the author, per WP:INHERENT, it looks problematic. I'll abstain from voting for now until others have a chance to look at it and comment. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:24, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Home is the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources (Haaretz, NRG, etc.) if you - surprise! - search in Hebrew. Sapir finalist may also confer notability.

Keep. This author is well-known in Israel, has written widely discussed essays in Haaretz and Azure, and his book was a finalist for the Sapir Prize, which is like Israel's equivalent of the National Book Award, Man Booker, and Pulitzer all rolled into one.

keep The San Francisco Press Club source is not a reader blog, but apparently a reliable industry source. To my surprise, I see it was present when the article was nominated for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The San Francisco PENINSULA Press Club is not a newspaper or news source, but a "professional journalism organization serving the greater Bay Area". As an "organization" it may be reporting about one of its own members and thus not be independent. But even if that one reference (announcing the launch of the paper in 2006) is accepted, a single reference is not sufficient for notability. And the lack of any current references, or even a current Google page, suggests that the paper did not last long enough to become notable or significant. --MelanieN (talk) 17:29, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge. A couple more references in reliable sources about this paper: in 2006 Editor & Publisher reported that "Free Daily Launches in San Francisco" (this source was cited in the original version of the Wikipedia article); and in 2008, when the New York Sun reported on the founding of the Palo Alto Daily Post, it mentioned that "Messrs. Pavelich and Price also own a small neighborhood daily in San Francisco." "Heresy in Silicon Valley: Traditional Newspaper Launches". Archive.org stored a number of copies of the official website for the SF Daily[29], mostly from about 2007-2008, such as this one [30], which uses the names Daily and Daily Post interchangeably. Later versions of the website don't seem to have any content, and it leaves one unclear about whether the San Francisco paper continued to exist beyond the founding of the Palo Alto paper. The 2010 New York Times article about the Palo Alto paper doesn't mention the San Francisco paper.[31] I conclude that the San Francisco paper was notable enough. I might be tempted to support a merge and redirect to Palo Alto Daily Post, given the interrelated ownership and history.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The paper was real and existed, and had a high enough circulation to be notable. It's not just a blog. The article meets several notability standards such as WP:MAGAZINE and WP:NEWSPAPER --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but neither of those links is a notability standard - or even relevant to this discussion. The notability standard for a publication is WP:CORP or WP:GNG.

Comment. Another source (from HighBeam): in a December 3, 2007 piece, a Long Beach Press-Telegram columnist complimented the San Francisco Daily for obtaining and reporting the salaries of highly-paid public employees, viewing this as a significant victory for the public's "right to know" since the Palo Alto Daily News had failed in an effort, a few years earlier, to obtain similar information.[32] --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:03, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the fact that the article has barely any information, a Wikipedia article on this person is not necessary. I am proposing deletion. -- SelfEx1led (talk)

Keep The first AfD was a non-admin closure after a speedy for copyvio in 2005; the man meets WP:POLITICIAN. See for example this. §FreeRangeFrog 21:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Yes he's a politician - I understand that. But is he still active? I don't see how one sentence or two of information is grounds for having him on Wikipedia, unless there is more information available. I know a Google search pops up more search results, but the information currently on Wikipedia (after the copy-vio) regarding him is clearly inadequate. Unless someone wants to take the time to properly re-do his biography, keeping him on here is pointless, especially when it seems, historically, it has been left alone in this bare state for quite some time. Furthermore, the number of sources on the person right now is just one. In most cases, this would not be enough sources and would be nominated for deletion anyway.

SelfEx1led (talk) 01:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SelfEx, I'm striking our your "delete" comment since we are only allowed to "vote" once, and as nominator, your "delete" !vote is understood. I suggest you familiarize yourself with WP:POLITICIAN before nominating any more politicians for deletion. --MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As notability is not temporary, it doesn't matter if he is still active in politics. Being a stub is perfectly valid. Inclusion or otherwise is determined by the various notability guidelines along with other policies and guidelines, and not by the quality of the article. p.s. As nominator, you don't get a 2nd !vote, but expansion of your rational for deletion are of course welcome! -- KTC (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Out of date. Being a owned subsidiary of multiple significant notable airlines this does seem reasonable. I've spliced in the references that were suggested on the page deleter/restorer's talk page. This does have a significant way to go to being a good article, but IMO does pass the WP:CORP test.

That's certainly an improvement, but I'm still not sure whether CORP is met. The first source is a copy of this press release so can't be considered independent. There are more sources out there but do any provide significant coverage? Can you link the highbeam articles? Someone at WP:REX can get hold of them, or I may be able to through factiva. Regarding it having been owned by other notable companies - that isn't relevant since notability is not inherited. SmartSE (talk) 17:56, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - suffers from many of the same problems as other street art articles. Often they are fads or short-term campaigns by particular groups or a particular "style" adopted by several artists. There are plenty of blog posts and social media references to "Repent Sinner" graffiti but they certainly wouldn't be considered reliable sources here. Interestingly, some of the social media commentary refers to its importance because it has a WP article. In reality, it must be important (notable) before it gets a WP article.

Weak keep - there's no assertion of notability of Kapla either, except for suggestions that they have been used in a couple of notable exhibitions, something that could also be said of the subject. That's not an attempt at WP:OTHERSTUFF; I mention it because I wouldn't be strongly against a merge to Kapla with an explanation that the subject is a US-version of the same. My only reservation is that it's not clear from either article whether they exist in two distinct markets or if they compete.

Comment. Some press coverage does exist for this song, mostly because it was written by the Sherman Brothers together with Kenny Loggins. The other fact mentioned here is that the song is the "main theme" for the Tokyo Disneyland attraction Jubilation!; I didn't find an independent reliable source for this, although it is mentioned in a number of sources of uncertain reliability. I am not sure there's enough here for the song to require its own article, and I currently lean toward a merge and redirect of this article into The Tigger Movie#Soundtrack, where I've already added a reference to a Los Angeles Times article about the Shermans-Loggins collaboration. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can someone clear this up for me: I see in Google Scholar that his papers are cited, but I have no idea what the threshold for citations is. In the previous AfD DGG (talk · contribs) makes good points and I respect his views on article deletion a lot, so a 'weak keep' for him is tantamount to a "burn this thing to the ground" (I kid), however that was two years ago. Is the consensus here that what I'm seeing in Scholar is not enough to get this person past WP:PROF? §FreeRangeFrog 22:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is a fair question indeed. Per WP:PROF: '"high citation rates" is to be interpreted in line with the interpretations used by major research institutions in the awarding of tenure."' As a business scholar who is has long been eligible for promotion to full professor (PhD from 1992, see http://etd.ohiolink.edu/view.cgi/Erevelles%20Sunil.pdf?osu1272294352), one would expect a citation track record of multiple publications papers with, say, over 12 Google Scholar citations per year (one per month) since publication. How many publications is not obvious, but this person has none.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 23:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is inadequate, but the citation record in Google Scholar makes the notability clear. His paper "A comparison of current models of consumer satisfaction" (Journal of Consumer Satisfaction 5) has been cited by 199 articles. His paper "The Role of Affect in Marketing" (Journal of Business Research Volume 42, Issue 3, July 1998, Pages 199–215) has the remarkable number of 158 citations. Use of th h factor shows its limitations: he has only 10 papers with more that 22 citations, but the one he does have are very important. Publishing lots of mediocre work does not make an expert; publishing highly significant work does. DGG ( talk ) 23:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

T &C 's argument that counts per month are relevant makes no sense to me. notability here is permanent. By use of his method of analysis, a person who after 5 years of work is notable, but who publishes nothing further, and whose work was important to the research front at the time, but has since become incorporated into standard knowledge, would 10 years later not be notable. All that is required for notability of anyone is that one be notable once. One just has to be a major contributor to the knowledge of the subject at any time. The most cited papers are from '92 & '86. The college has probably decided not to promote him because he has stopped publishing, and that makes sense for them, because they want someone who will continue to be actively notable till the end of his career, and for their purposes, notability is not permanent. Using this sort of standard is like saying that only albums that continue to be on the charts count for notability . DGG ( talk ) 23:44, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment DGG's argument makes no sense to me. First, 199 citations is hardly notable for a marketing article from 1992. That would put this article in the bottom half of citations to publications in tenure-caliber journals for that year, and nowhere near tenure-making criteria at major research institutions. Likewise, 156 citations is hardly remarkable for a paper from the Journal of Business Research in 1996; alas there is no foundation for calling this number "remarkable" in DGG's note. Furthermore, DGG's argument would make a mockery of notability, since massive numbers of academics who publish at some point would qualify by the lowly standard implied, even though many would not make tenure at a major research institution let alone satisfy other academic notability criteria. Relative to my reply to his query on my talk page, DGG's argument here ignores the fact that notability at any point in time cannot be established positively from cumulative data except perhaps if a paper has exceptional total citations (though it can be established negatively). In my reading, the sub-argument about "notability at any point in time" is spurious and dilutive: The number of "rich people" would surely spike if based on account balance at any point in time, but that would only make the concept meaningless (you had a lot of money in your account for a short while if you ever took a mortgage, but so what - ask the millions who lost "their" home in recent years?). I also showed in reply to DGG's query (at my talk page) that the publications of the subject are of such vintage that the argument I gave plainly applies, since tenure-caliber articles are benchmarked to a cited half-cite exceeding 10 years. Practically, an exceptional marketing paper from this subject's era would have many hundreds of Google Scholar citations, and a notable track record through tenure at a major research institution for someone who graduated twenty years ago would add up to over 1000 GS citations. This subject's cumulative citation record actually proves that they were never notable, even if one follows DGG's road to dilution. Remember, academic notability is a matter of awards, editorships and the like, all of which the subject fails completely; or of a rather exceptional citation record, which this subject also fails as a last resort.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 02:09, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have great faith in DGG's estimation of scholarly worth. His analyses are always on point and often conservative. If he says that this person has written enough influential articles in several well-known peer-reviewed journals, I believe him. Also, neither tenure nor tenure qualification are required to be notable. The Steve 10:19, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Argument for retention I created this stub entry, as the ask.fm website was receiving much media attention in Ireland, and had no Wikipedia Entry. Since the entry has been nominated for deletion, I have substituted an article in the Baltic Times Newspaper for the e-zine piece that was previously the main source used. This may address some of the verifiability issues identified. The entry remains a stub. I would like to see the entry expanded and improved, by the user community, rather than being entirely deleted. The entry has received 4400 page views in less than 30 days, so there is some interest in the subject matter. The said Baltic Times article, contains background information on the company, that may facilitate expanding the entry. Best regards --Padraigobrian (talk) 18:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the first page of those results, all the articles that provide coverage of any significance are written by people associated with the Sable research group. It's common in academia for people to publish many papers on their own work and for associated research groups to cite each others work. I think we need some real evidence of significant independent coverage here, and if anyone comes up with it I will be happy to withdraw the nomination. --Michig (talk) 17:06, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how many papers you have configured to display on your "first page", but for me most results on positions 10-100 seem to comes from a widely differing set of researchers form a large group of universities. Soot seems to be a widely used framework for the static analysis of Java programs in academia.

The result was redirect to Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Michig (talk) 09:36, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013

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

The article currently lists two sources, one leading to the frontpage of the official Junior Eurovision website, which does not confirm that the contest will run in 2013; and the second is to Ketnet (in Dutch) which is an application form for 2013, but no confirmation from the EBU of the 2013 contest taking place.

The article is essentially bare, no date, not host, and a bit WP:Crystal. [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 00:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the 2012 contest just ended within the last 24 hours, so this is very much TOOSOON. In similar "will probably happen but not for a while" circumstances, I've seen arguments for and against CRYSTAL, though I personally lean "for". There are absolutely no policies for keeping articles with which this "article" complies. Nevertheless, I would point out that we are an encyclopedia that is supposed to focus on third-party reliable sources with substantial coverage of events that have already occurred. There has been a trend lately to create articles on things that simply haven't occurred yet in an effort to make WP a one-stop fan reference for whatever it is without regard to any policies whatsoever, and that needs to stop. MSJapan (talk) 00:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - I dont care if it is delete because the article will be re-created fast when the contest is confirmed. but on the other hand I dont see a reason to delete a article that will most likely be re-created within weeks/months.

Redirect to Passage to Zarahemla for now - I recovered the first reference here and it mentions some of her work including a direct-to-DVD production Beauty and the Beast so I searched at Google News and found several reviews. It seems she was also in a play, Noises Off, which received reviews here and here. I also found a Deseret News article here with information about her. News articles here and here indicate she was also in a musical production of Legally Blonde. Although she played a lead role in Passage to Zarahemla, I haven't found much about this. Although she has achieved a fair amount of work, at best, I would say this is a case of too soon. SwisterTwister talk 22:14, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a structure that was never built. Even its mid-1990s proposal is unclear in its significance, what with the completion of the Gillette Stadium in 2000. A recent prod attempt failed with the rationale "there is more data out there on how this would have changed the neighborhood and supposedly improved the region", which I doubt. More importantly, that sort of information would be much too speculative. — Æµ§œš¹ _{[ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ]} 01:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Links such as this, this, and this (although there are some overlaps with the first one) show that there is sufficient coverage out there for the planned facility. Additionally, many of the links there talk about the plans for the stadium and why it failed, with some discussion even talking about the partnership between public and private enterprise. To say that this is of unclear significance is to ignore the discussions on where this went wrong, and what could be done in the future to make sure that this never happened again, as I doubt that an unnotable facility would have this level of discussion centered around it.

This article is not about the NWA North Dakota Championship. It is about poorly done article on the PWX Three Rivers Championship which already has an article.

Speedy Delete. It might fail G2, it almost certainly fails A1, and possibly A10 as well, given that it does indeed duplicate an existing article under a different name. I've tagged it under A1, and even if that fails, all we have is a duplicated infobox, and a list of results - absolutely nothing to establish any notability or even that this exists - so it may even be a WP:HOAX for all the article shows to people (although I don't really believe this to be the case).
