Cal Poly Universities Rose Float

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

No acceptable sources for notability and no reason to expect there would be. The content is not even worth merging, as it is totally non-encyclopedic and local to the college. There's already a link to the student group building it in the Tournament of Roses floats article, and this is all that's needed. DGG ( talk ) 22:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Rose Parade is an internationally notable event, and the annual float is notable because a) it is annual and b) it is always done as a joint venture of the two universities, unique among all the floats. 72Dino (talk) 22:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. No significant media coverage. The brief mention in Tournament of Roses Parade is all this merits. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:00, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The Rose Parade is extremely notable, with a very limited number of floats. In my opinion, each of these floats may be notable, not through inherited notability from the parade (Although that may be a factor) but on their own, due to a years work of efforts, publicity, etc. that leads up to each display. For example, when a float isn't able to make it one year for some reason, it is always noted that XYZ could not enter their float this year due to ABC reason. To me, a float would be notable if it were missed a year later, especially this one, as it is one of the major displays. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 01:22, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Plenty of media coverage on an annual float featured on such a high-profile event. For example:

San Diego Union-Tribune

among many others...

-- Marco Guzman, Jr Talk 01:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think those sources alone are enough to satisfy even the most challenging of notability concerns. ~~Still, this article needs help. It is poorly written, and it needs to be renamed. Bad spelling is not very encyclopedic.~~ --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 05:10, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSONG. Listing on Billboard is not sufficient, editorial discussion is required, and there needs to be enough discussed to warrant a reasonably detailed article. -MJH (talk) 22:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:NSONGS. Has charted on three billboard charts. Used in Champs Sports commercial. A simple google search turns up [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Which more then suffices. STATic message me! 22:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and speedy close. Nom is based on the condition of the article rather than the notability of its subject, which the nominator does not appear to have properly researched. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - All those references merely list the song, mention that it was performed, or that the artist is making a video. Notability per WP:NSONG requires substantial and repeated discussion about this particular track. Then you article needs to pick up enough details from those discussions for an actual article, no just the Billboard ranking. WP is not a marketing platform. At best, I suggest a merge the content to Based on a T.R.U. Story---MJH (talk) 23:28, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has appeared on several Billboard charts, so passes the notability criteria. The article isn't in a great state, but that appears to be the only issue – it's still notable. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 16:53, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Users (band)

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

A punk rock band formed in Cambridge, England that likely fails WP:N and WP:BAND. Source searching has not provided coverage in reliable sources. The only source in the article that is reliable for Wikipedia's purposes requires a subscription to access the article, so I'm unable to read it to ascertain it's length, level of coverage, etc. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:09, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added more notable sources to the article, including their official webpages. They are notable in the Punk scene for being an early cult. Their first single supposedly sold 20,000 copies, and was included in John Peel's personal record box (which was unveiled after his death). This single was also the first release on Lee Wood's punk independent record label, "Raw Records" (later bought out by Damaged Goods). I believe they're also mentioned in a book on John Peel, but I'll have to dig it out to be sure. Johnny "ThunderPeel2001" Walker (talk) 23:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The band are covered in Georgege Gimarc's Punk Diary and have more than a page dedicated to them in Alex Ogg's No More Heroes.--Michig (talk) 07:43, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. No, they were not Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, but they were a notable historical punk band as part of the 70s British punk movement. I added a few more cites.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Joakim Mogren

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

This is a viral hoax/promotional gimmick/publicity stunt to garner attention for the next Metal Gear game. Joakim = Kojima; Mogren = Project "Ogre". See: this, this, and this. Forbes lays it out rather well here. Wikipedia is not the place for advertising or presenting hoaxes. Cindy(talk to me) 19:38, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because it is additionally a hoax, created to perpetuate the hoax within the Joakim Mogren article. As Forbes states, "The Phantom Pain is Kojima's viral teaser for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes".:

Comment - With all due respect, I believe we should give him and the company the benefit of the doubt, there is no evidence to support that this is indeed a hoax; it is all coincidental. lb8068 (talk) 19:56, 9 December 2012 (UTC)— Lb8068 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- That may or may not be true but it's ultimately irrelevant. We're not here to prove that this is/isn't a hoax. This discussion is to assess notability and I haven't seen a single argument that supports that the subject of this article is notable per WP:N. OlYeller21^Talktome 22:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Why must people grasp straws at everything being a hoax? Kotaku and VG247 have no concrete proof to their claims; and I happened to contact the site owner. He is indeed swedish and has provided me a copy of the birth certificate. Get over yourself — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.133.229 (talk) 20:03, 9 December 2012 (UTC) — 108.27.133.229 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- It doesn't matter. There's no proof that this is a real person, let alone a notable per per WP:BIO. OlYeller21^Talktome 22:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article Joakim Mogren definitely qualifies for speedy delete even if the article wasn't an awful non-factual unencyclopedic mess, due to the person not being notable yet. I note however that the nominator also put the AFD template on the article for the game, The Phantom Pain (video game). I consider this to be a bad faith nomination based on the content of the Joakim Mogren article, especially as the game's article isn't even mentioned in the nomination, but has apparently been lumped in the AFD for some reason. The game itself is definitely real, and its article is being properly sourced with factual information and should be kept. --Ifrit (Talk) 20:10, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Before assuming bad faith, you should actually review the links I provided above, specifically the one from Forbes. Note that the rationale is provided in the bundle. Bad form, Ifrit. Cindy(talk to me) 20:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: I assumed bad faith mostly because of the coenciding vandalism of Joakim Mogren. But still, the Forbes.com article saying The Phantom Pain being a viral campaign for Ground Zeroes is just their speculation. In fact, Geoff Keighley, who was involved in the production of the Spike VGAs, stated the complete opposite; that The Phantom Pain is its own game, not previously revealed. Edit: Here's a link.--Ifrit (Talk) 20:53, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment. Actually, Forbes states, "The Phantom Pain isn’t an upcoming game at all — it’s an elaborate teaser for Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes." As far as the link to Twitter? Uh, "Phantom Pain is an a completely game"... uh, hunh? Your statement above is not an accurate reflection of the tweet posted. Cindy(talk to me) 21:17, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment: It is quite clear what the meaning of Keighley's tweet was despite the typo, and the only source you have for the The Phantom Pain trailer only being viral marketing for Ground Zeroes even states that this is only the hunch of the writer. Until your claim is proven The Phantom Pain should be treated as a separate game, thus it should not be included in this AfD.
No, it does not. It states, "But The Phantom Pain isn’t an upcoming game at all — it’s an elaborate teaser for Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. For now it’s obviously a hunch..." ^[1] If anyone's being speculative, it's you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.231.206.6 (talk • contribs)
Merge and Redirect to Hideo Kojima - The subject of this article fails WP:BIO as none of the news sources listed in the article or that I can find represent significant coverage of the subject. The subject of this article is only mentioned with the unknown/also-made-up Moby Dick Studios. More importantly, this reliable source speculates that "Joakim Mogren" is a name being used by Hideo Kojima (Joakim is an anagram of Kojim and Mogren contains "ogre" and "Project Ogre" is a semi-secret project that Kojima is working on). Regardless of whether or not you think this is a hoax, there is no evidence that this subject satisfies any part of WP:N, particularly WP:BIO. At the end of this AfD, this article should be deleted or redirected to Kojima. OlYeller21^Talktome 21:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - I didn't see the game nomination. I agree with Mr. Mittens that the game article should be Kept. It should be merged into the appropriate Metal Gear Solid article, when/if it becomes clear that the game is connected. I still stand by deleting the Joakim article or merging and redirecting it to Hideo Kojima if we can be sure that it's really a representation of Kojima. Since I have lots of "ifs" in my !vote, I'll just say that unless new evidence is presented by the end of this AfD, the Joakim article should be deleted and the game article should be kept. OlYeller21^Talktome 22:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's not really a secret that this is supposed to be tied to MGS. There's no evidence that Joakim Mogrem is a real person outside of the Moby Dick website. We should keep the article for The Phantom Pain, at least until more tangible connections to Metal Gear emerge. --Mr. Mittens (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article at Joakim Mogren; even if it's not a hoax, it would fail WP:BIO at this time. The only evidence that the person exists are primary sources and do not meet the threshold of notability. However, keep The Phantom Pain (video game) at this time; it appears well documented via multiple sources that it exists; any linking of it to being viral advertising is original research at this point. There are several reporters questioning if it's real, but no confirmation one way or the other from any reliable sources. If it later turns out to be part of an advertising campaign, it can be merged into the real product's article at a later time. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Create a page for Moby Dick Studio and Merge. While the CEO might not qualify for notability standards, an article on the company itself with a subsection on the CEO has a viable claim at notability. --Deuxhero (talk) 22:33, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jambo OpenOffice

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

Jambo OpenOffice is a Swahili translation of OpenOffice.org by the Kilinux project. Jambo OpenOffice is outdated and unmaintained. I once merged the article into Kilinux which – even though the name suggests that – is not a Linux distribution. That merge was recently undone and the editor asked for an AfD discussion. So here it is! My take: Jambo OpenOffice is not relevant enough for its own article anyway, it causes lots of duplication with the OpenOffice.org article as well as Kilinux. Especially Kilinux and Jambo OpenOffice both talk about an glossary, a Spanish company donating Visual Studio, and so on. KAMiKAZOW (talk) 21:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable article with lots of reliable sources. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 21:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as the person who was expanding and digging for hours while searching with google for references and as the person who was undoing the merge. The software deserves its own article as it was a major (first) step translating/localizing OOo/any software in Swahili. Except for the fact it was an OOo derivate and translating, what do these two articles have common? mabdul 21:38, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Kilinux and JOO articles cover almost completely the same topic. The OOo article serves as reference for the technological base. Not every OOo fork needs its own article. The existence of sources does not prevent it from being completely merged into Kilinux. Merge. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 11:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I never said that every OOo fork needs it's own article, that's exactly the reason why OxygenOffice, RomanianOffice, EuroOffice (former MagyarOffice), PlusOffice (from OpenZone), Luxuriosity Office, and OpenOffice.org Novel Edition/LibreOffice Novel Edition don't have their own articles. JOO instead received wide media attention because it was something "new" and one of first localization projects (and I believe the very first for an African language).

The Kilinux project on the other side is something like a main article giving a short overview of the many projects they did(do?), like the localization of Firefox and other software projects. (similar to OpenOffice Writer has an summary in OpenOffice) Overall the OOo fork received most attention and has enough information and moreover enough 3rd party and reliable references for an own article. mabdul 12:22, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Musical recording (released yesterday) lacking notability per WP:NALBUMS and completely unreferenced. - Mr X 18:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is the third creation of this article under a different name. Notability not established. It is a song released exclusively on YouTube with plans to supposedly release in the future on an album by the same name. Article created in tandem by two members of the A&R team.

Delete or redirect to Noelia - Google News found three results here, one of which Monte Lipman has provided above. The third result confirms it was produced by Timbaland and Sean Garret and set for release in 2013. However, it may be too soon for now because there isn't much for an article. The album's page Mind Blown has been redirected to Noelia so I think redirecting somewhere to the artist's page may be a good option for now. SwisterTwister talk 20:07, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darlia

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

There is absolutely no information or images on the 'Darlia' moth to be found. The page has one sentence which is simply a claim that 'Darlia' is a type of moth, and yet nothing exists to back it up.

It has already been suggested by a Wiki page moderator that it may have been created by mistake due to the way that it was created.

There is however a species of 'DAHLIA' moth - 'Dahlia capnobela' and 'Dahlia hesperioides' which there is evidence of online. Nayday (talk) 12:36, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonian Treasure Trove

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

Originally tagged for CSD as copyvio. If you do a search for the first sentence of the article in Google, you will find that the text was previously posted to Facebook and to the blog I mentioned.. It seems to have been removed from there after I nominated the article which may or may not mean that the author of the Wikipedia article is also the person who owns the blog. That would raise serious WP:COI and advertizing issues ("our magazine"). In addition I don't believe this publication passes Wikipedia:Notability (books) Travelbird (talk) 12:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unless there are foreign language sources that I was unable to find with a google search and translation program, I'm going to say that this just isn't a notable magazine at this point in time. The magazine seems to have launched fairly recently, with this link and this Wikipedia entry saying that the first issue was launched in August of 2012. I know that being new doesn't always mean that it can't get notability, but when you have something that looks to be relatively non-mainstream it's unlikely that it will achieve that overnight notability. It may become notable in the future, but it doesn't seem to be notable right here and now. I do want to note that this CNN report is not actually by CNN but by a CNN blog that anyone can edit on, if anyone was thinking that this might give notability. On a side note, the text there looks to be identical to what is currently on the Wikipedia entry here, so this might be able to be speedied again for copyvio. I think it's fairly obvious that this is by the same people who created the foreign language wiki entry, as the translated text seemed incredibly similar. In any case, this looks to be a rather obvious attempt at self promotion.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 15:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A footballer whose only claim of notability is playing for Ligue 2 sides FC Nantes and AS Saint-Étienne in 2003-04 and 2004-05 respectfully. Actually, both teams appeared at the Ligue 1 during these seasons, but there is no record of a player named "Oliver Konteh" ever playing for Nantes or Saint-Etienne. Because the player has not allegedly played in another fully professional league and coverage on him is not nearly enough to meet WP:GNG, he fails WP:N and his article should be deleted. – Kosm1 fent 10:28, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable topic, far more than a dictionary definition. Could easily be expanded. Needs sources and improvement, not deletion. Don't move; this is as clear cut a case of WP:Primary topic as I've ever run across, meeting both usage and long-term criteria. Enormously common term; every listing on the disambiguation page is based ultimately on this particular word usage. This is a case of so many incorrect search engine hits, it's difficult to come up with quick online sources, though they are certain to exist. I'm taking the liberty of requesting sources at WT:MILHIST; this should not be seen as canvassing, instead as a legitimate search for sources.

No. Having an ISBN does not count towards notability. Once upon a time in the distant past of Wikipedia it used to be far easier to pass notability guidelines, but the current notability guidelines are pretty strict when it comes to books. The book must be one of the following to pass WP:NBOOK:

The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself. (This excludes blog entries, database entries, any primary sources, or basically anything that comes from something other than an independent and reliable source that Wikipedia considers to be usable. Brief trivial mentions do not count towards notability regardless of whatever source it's in.)
The book has won a major literary award. (This must be a major award. Winning a blog award or any minor award will not count. Some of them can count towards notability, but the vast majority of awards won't even do that. This qualification is for the big ones such as Caldecott or similar.)
The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement. (Short films and movies that never really gained a lot of attention or critical praise usually don't count unless they were recognized in some format.)
The book is the subject of instruction at multiple elementary schools, secondary schools, colleges/universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country. (This means multiple schools, not just one or two.)
The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. (No book has passed this guideline without passing at least 2-3 of the guidelines above. Even then, less than .0001% of authors meet this guideline. This is pretty much for Poe and Shakespeare rather than Laurell K Hamilton or Stephen King.)

It's just insanely hard for a self-published book to meet notability guidelines in most cases. I also have to warn you that we can't keep an article because other poorly sourced articles exist or because more sources might eventually become available. I especially want to warn against that, as odds are the reviews that come in are almost always from non-notable book blogs. This isn't meant as an insult to the blogs, just that 99.99999% of them are considered to be non-usable as far as Wikipedia is concerned.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:35, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did a search and was unable to find any in-depth coverage in reliable sources. The problem with the Free Press link is that it only lists the book synopsis from Amazon. This makes it a WP:PRIMARY source at best and primary sources or sources like that can never show notability. Book reviews would show notability if they existed, but only if they were done through reliable sources and were in-depth. As stated above, blogs don't count towards notability and if the book is only mentioned briefly ("Blah blah blah is like Being in Love, which also deals with honor killings), that won't count towards notability. That the book deals with a notable subject matter also doesn't give it notability, no matter how noble the book's intentions are. (WP:NOTINHERITED) I know this can seem frustrating when you have a book that is self-published and is unlikely to gain the attention that the bigger titles and authors will, but this book just doesn't pass the notability guidelines in place for books. I have no problem with this being userfied, if that's the case. I did a big cleanup of the article, so it'd be in good shape to userfy if someone wanted to do that.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:59, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Narration (band)

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

This band from Twickenham, London, England appears to fail WP:N and also WP:BAND. Several source searches have not provided significant coverage in reliable sources. They released a video under Fingercuff Productions, but this does not meet criteria at WP:BAND regarding potential for the band to be notable. These two sources found ([9], [10]) only have passing mentions, and this article isn't particularly about the band itself; rather it's about a brawl that occurred at one of their shows, and only provides cursory information about the band itself.

Brainstorm Artists International

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

This company fails WP:GNG as a threshold matter (no substantial coverage in reliable sources), as well as WP:CORPDEPTH, which would better indicate this group's notability. This company exists mostly in the universe of press releases, scant mentions, and rather baseless incredulous claims such as flatly calling it "legendary". JFHJr (㊟) 22:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning towards delete - Google News wasn't helpful despite very detailed searches (adding "Ojo Taylor Gene Eugene", "record label", the former name "Broken Records" and "1987") but Google Books was slightly more helpful providing results especially one book called Raised By Wolves: The Story of Christian Rock & Roll with mentions here, p. 121, claims they were a significant label in the 1980s and began using the name Broken Records in 1985 after another label abandoned the name until that previous owner wanted it again. Here (p. 145, using the label's former name "Broken Records"), here (p. 147, minor mention), here (p. 176, text is located towards the bottom confirming the label closed in the 1990s), here (p. 180, scroll a little bit up to the beginning of the page, extremely minor mention for Lifesavers Underground album released through BAI). Google Books also found two mentions through a 1995 issue of Billboard here (minor mention, named as a distributor label for Diamante Music Group) and here (another minor mention). I attempted to search with the former name, Broken Records, but found nothing else aside from a repeat result for Raised By Wolves. Honestly, record labels rarely receive significant attention unless you are a large corporation or very well known for success. Despite being called a significant label by Raised By Wolves, I haven't found much evidence so I lean towards delete. At best, a redirect to either Ojo Taylor or Gene_Eugene#Music would be better though I would prefer the latter (Gene Eugene#Music). Because I have found few results with the best being Raised By Wolves, I believe the current content may be somewhat or entirely inaccurate. But then again, because of the lack of other sources, I'm not entirely sure. SwisterTwister talk 04:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure you are entitled to that opinion, but just saying that if this AfDwill follow procdure it is unlikely to be closed before friday. And Awa is a major favourite to win, and if she wins this entire AfD discussion will be irrelevant as she will have won X factor by then. A speedy keep and awaiting fridays final would have been a better option an option that could have been easily fixed had the nominator asked me or someone else with actual knowledge about X Factor Sweden before nominating this article. It is basically just a huge waist of time and effort for possibly a number of users that will be involved in this discussion. Amd sure you are of the opinion that it is too early for this article but I dont that is the basic premise for this discussion.WP:TOOSOON could apply to this AfD itself as winning a million (SEK) music contract is notability which will make this entire AfD non-valid in a week after the final if it is not closed until then.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put it her win at X Factor gives her notability. Participation is not the same as winning an entire series. Winning a million (SEK) music contract in itself is notable and winning X Factor is relevant and notable. Most other winners has recieved success within their own country. Read paragraph 9. Has won or placed in a major music competition. and paragraph 12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network..

Comment A merge to List_of_minor_planets:_20001–21000 is the best option, as all the information in the current article is preserved in a useful table. Alternatively, we can and should make a bot to create 310,376 redirects or articles from List_of_minor_planets rather than dealing with this discussion each time ad infinitum. --Nixie9 (talk) 16:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or redirect per Hullaballoo and DGG comment on analogous debate. Nothing else to add, really, apart perhaps a read of WP:PILLARS: look at pillar number one, click on the link for almanac, read the article, and take your own conclusions. --Cyclopia ^talk 23:36, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oscar Otazu

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

Article appears to technically satisfy WP:ATHLETE as one possibly-reliable source (BDFA) shows Otazu played 1 match in the Chilean second division. However, there is no sign this article would satisfy the general notability guideline (it has been on WP for over 1 year with no reliable sources and a search of on-line South American news sources like ABC Digital in his home country of Paraguay produce zero articles) and it has been on WP for over 1 year in this state. Let's use some common sense and remove it until the point comes that Otazu is the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources such that we can write a decent article about him.

Delete - primarily fails WP:GNG, which outweighs WP:NFOOTBALL. Plenty of consensus in the past that 1/2 appearances are not enough to justify inclusion when an article fails GNG. Giant Snowman 15:36, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think this pretty clearly falls under the part of WP:NSPORT that says that not all articles that meet its criteria must be kept. The article only just passes WP:NSPORT, but clearly fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:29, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable release. It has very little coverage in WP:RS to support an article on its own. It may be worth a mention at Daniel Amos, but a redirect is probably uncalled for because of the commonness/vagueness of the title. JFHJr (㊟) 22:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Someone should attempt to improve it before it is simply deleted. The goal of Wikipedia used to be to constantly expand the amount of articles, not find any little reason to delete them. Audiori (talk) 22:18, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Daniel Amos. I can't find any evidence of notability: no reviews (maybe there are mentions in general articles on the band, but I've not seen any). If there is any sourceable information, it could be added to Daniel Amos. Right now, the best we can do is redirect so that if somebody searches for it they can at least find out who it's by. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:55, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Daniel Amos. Folowing User:Audiori's advice before coming here to opine, I gave the article a facelift.[15] But as widely released as this film is, I was unable to find any reviews or coverage. There were hints that the thing did receive some sort of positive attention,[16] but I was unable to find them. To enlighten our readers about the group, I believe that we can redirect for now and undelete if and or when sources come forward. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:35, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate Group

This startup company doesn't seem to meet the guidelines outlined in WP:CORP, in addition to having been created by a sockpuppet account with a COI. (Hence, it's probably a CSD G5 candidate as well.) The reliable sources mentioned in the article seem to be focusing more on the CEO than the company. The rest of the sources are press releases or self-published sources. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:02, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete per CSD G5. It's a page created by a blocked user, who was already blocked for socking. I'd also put a CSD nomination right on the page itself, before it went to AfD. Logical Cowboy (talk) 01:37, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
