machine translation of sr WP article (CSD A2 plus except for the bad machine translation) Steinhfer (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. With these kind of machine translations, it is usually easier to just translate the whole thing again from scratch than it would be to clean it up. That said, if someone does clean it up, then we can keep it. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 23:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability concerns. The subject may more properly be treated as part of the article on Restored Church of God. RA (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. There doesn't appear to be a canonical spelling of the subject's name in the Roman alphabet, so here are some books that use different spellings: "Metodi Stratiev", "Metod Stratiev", "Metodio Stratiev", "Metody Stratiev". I haven't yet tried other possible spellings of "Stratiev" or any searches in Cyrillic, but that's enough to demonstrate notability as a Catholic archbishop. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:28, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Having looked into this regarding Romanov's predecessor, Vinkenti Peev, Checking into precedent, the question of whether RC bishops are inherently notable seems unsettled. There is a discussion of this question in the archives of WP:BIO, and past AFD discussions have fallen in both directions. In this case, if I'm reading correctly, he's an RC church in a land where Roman Catholicism is a tiny minority (currently under 1%.) As of 2004, there were a mere 34,000 members of this diocese, according to the diocese article. So we're not exactly talking the head of something huge; we wouldn't automatically list mayors of a city that size, for example. On the other hand, beatification is a form of being noted, although this only says that he was put on the path toward beatification (hence "servant of god") and not that he achieved it (which would make him "blessed")... and this was during the days of John Paul II, who beatified by the boatload. I'm still mulling my position on this one. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Bishops of major churches are usually considered to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

missing notability Steinhfer (talk) 23:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It is probably too early to judge whether we should keep it or not, because it is waiting to be translated from Indonesian. Judging from the Google translation it looks like it's about the lineage of a royal family somewhere,
so the subject is most likely notable. I think we should give the translation process a little more time - we can always nominate it for deletion again after the standard two weeks is up. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 00:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Based on Jun Kayama's thoughtful analysis below, I think we should probably just delete without worrying about translation. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 03:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I reckon, nothing to really suggest this family/clan is anything notable, no relevant google hits for Togasahata or any of the names in the list that I checked (didn't google them all, just searched half a dozen or so at random), and hard to glean any context, based on all that I'd say the chances of this being translated are slim.--Jac16888 Talk 01:58, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - This is a Batak clan lineage. It should actually be "Toga Sahata" (two words) and reference can be found here [1] on Page 4 of the PDF file. There's some trivia here [2] for background information on the three sons of the Batak ancestor ... similar to the founding story of Kievan Rus, but absolutely nowhere near equivalent in terms of historical significance. Translated or not, this article has no future for expansion. Jun Kayama 02:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I've only found one source that looks like it might be somewhat usable [3]. Everything else are just PR releases that the company has passed on to other PR companies to release.

- Speedy delete and SALT. From what I can see, this is pretty much the equivalent of a fanfic. They stated that they based it off of Highschool of the Dead, just changing the characters around enough to where they're saying they're "original" creations that they can copyright. I agree that this should be salted. This is honestly something that should have been speedy deleted from the start.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Deceased self-published conspiracy theorist lacks notablity by all standards. Article was created in 2004, but after nearly 8 years the vast majority of the article still cites either his self-published book or his self-produced "audio recordings" (which themselves have no secondary sources). There is a serious lack of multiple non-trival sources. He is not a notable author (self-published) or radio host (broadcast on his personal short-wave) or politician (a minor fringe following). There are some independent sources, but they deal with him shooting at police and then being killed. However, even this event fails to meet notablity requirements in WP:EVENT. Apajj89 (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This article needs improving not deleting. The person calling for it's deletion should put some effort into that instead. Vexorg (talk) 02:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There appears to be sufficient coverage outside of primary sources already in the article to meet WP:BIO. All sections refernced by this author's self published books does need to be removed and the article generally cleaned up though. RadioFan (talk) 03:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The book may have been self-published, but I remember seeing it available at Borders; it's also available in several hundred libraries: [4]. He actually had a pretty big following in the hip hop community; see this and this, and this. One other mainstream source that discusses him is The Skeptic's Dictionary. I can dig up more stuff if I need to. Zagalejo^^^ 07:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Reluctant Keep. While the article is a magnet for conspiracy believers and unstable types (read the Talk page), the subject is notable and there are adequate WP:RS sources, more than a few of them scholarly. - LuckyLouie (talk) 03:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "While the article is a magnet for conspiracy believers and unstable types (read the Talk page)" - It's a shame that some (unsigned) editors view Wikipedia as something that reluctantly attracts people with views that conflict with that of this (unsigned) editor. Anyone wanting a proper encyclopaedia would not want it censored as per their own views. We all have certain views. I have certain views, but I don't want to censor Wikipedia to the boundaries of my views. It's sad that politically motivated people are editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia should be above partisanship. Vexorg (talk) 03:14, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Er, trying to connect me with some political/ideological conspiracy is missing the point.

- "While the article is a magnet for conspiracy believers and unstable types (read the Talk page)" - It's a shame that some (unsigned) editors view Wikipedia as something that reluctantly attracts people with views that conflict with that of this (unsigned) editor. Anyone wanting a proper encyclopaedia would not want it censored as per their own views. We all have certain views. I have certain views, but I don't want to censor Wikipedia to the boundaries of my views. It's sad that politically motivated people are editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia should be above partisanship.

I don't, for example, see it as requiring a "speedy keep" here, as you suggest it does. And, it is simply an essay. The vast majority of this article is wholly unsourced.

Declined prod. Prod removed with rationale 'notable'; I disagree. It has references but these are to pub guides and other non-reliable sources. It's listed, but not every listed building is inherently notable, it has to meet the general notability guideline, which in my opinion this does not. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 19:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep: The pub has been described as the best known of all Thames pubs in a WP:RS and is included in the architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner's The Buildings of England series as a building of historical note, dating from 1352. It also has literary connections, being mentioned in the 1889 novel Three Men in a Boat. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 20:47, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) Keep - you forgot to mention that it's mentioned in the classic book Three Men in a Boat (more than many listed buildings are) and I'm not sure why you think that the Buildings of England series by Nikolaus Pevsner and others is an unreliable source - the books in that series are the leading references works for architecture in each county. It wouldn't hurt to be expanded - so what's new? - but there's more than enough here for this 14th-century building to pass the GNG already. BencherliteTalk 20:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It is a reliable source, yes. However, that does not mean that every building listed in it automatically becomes notable enough for an article. Significant coverage in reliable sources is what the GNG says - not any old coverage in reliable sources. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So which other of the sources in the article do you now concede are reliable sources? BencherliteTalk 21:18, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You tell me. Beerintheevening? Is that reliable? Pevsner is reliable. Three Men in a Boat is famous, but self-evidently not a reliable source as it's a humorous book. That's pretty much all I have to say really. In my opinion, there is not enough significant coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate that the pub is notable. I'm not going to argue with you tit-for-tat, I'd prefer to let consensus decide. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Quite apart from being a famous mediaeval pub, the article is already properly referenced. Even if it didn't serve beer, Pevsner and being a Listed Building would be enough to make it notable; being named by Jerome K Jerome makes it pass with flying colours. And thirdly, it must be in every pub guide and advice to the tourist you can think of. Cheers! Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- It's off the scale because there isn't an argument worth responding to. The nomination tells us at the outset that there's no consensus, that the article has multiple sources and that the building is listed. That's three strikes already and the subsequent comments further confirm that you're pissing into the wind. What's needed now is for this discussion to be speedily closed to spare you further embarrassment. I considered closing it myself per WP:SNOW but like to see at least one call for Speedy Keep for this and so provided one. Warden (talk) 07:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - not a speedy, I don't think the nomination is frivolous, but I do think the age of the building and its coverage in sources like Buildings of England, The River Thames, etc. make it more notable than more recently created buildings and businesses that have a larger volume of coverage simply due to the virtue of their having been created in the internet age. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This violates WP:NOT in a few ways, including Wikipedia is not a directory #8 A complete exposition of all possible detail. This information could be worked into another article, perhaps, but as a stand alone article is outside of what we do here. It isn't customary to have articles that solely exist to cover the number and types of destruction of a particular type of military hardware in a single event. It may also run against Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information #3 Excessive listings of statistics. as this list in now way covers why the destruction of tanks during the Second Intifada is independently notable to the degree as to warrant inclusion as an article. My gut feeling says this runs against other guidelines and policies as well. Even with lots of references, that doesn't solve the other issues. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The title is misleading and perhaps should be changed. This is not only a description of tanks destroyed, but also describes the events of several tactical enguagements. So it is of some interest to military historians. I recognize the delicacy of the subject. Maxdlink (talk) 19:26, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that some of the information may be fine in other articles, and likely it already is. I've been watching the article since it was created, waiting to see what it became and if it could be "rehabilitated". The problem (from my perspective) is that there is no way to just rename the article or merge the content to fix the underlying issues, and under no circumstances would a redirect make sense. Dennis Brown (talk) 23:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - per the rationale given by the nominator. If indeed the article describes events that are notable - individual articles can be created for them. The only one of these in the list seems to be the event that lead to the capture of Gilad Shalit, which already has its own article- 2006 Hamas cross-border raid Jeff Song (talk) 19:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I’m new here at Wikipedia and am not so familiar with the rules of the game. But in this case I frankly don’t see the problem. Wikipedia is full of lists. Just two examples:
List of Lebanese rocket attacks on Israel List of prisoners released by Israel in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange
- I searched Wikipedia for “List of” and got 850,870 hits.
- There is a separate article for each and every Palestinian terrorist act against civilian Israeli targets. Apparently they are all “notable”. There is a template connecting all these terrorist acts: Template:Terrorist attacks against Israelis in the 2000s
- But to my surprise I discovered that whenever Palestinian violence had been directed against legitimate military target there was usually no article and to my knowledge no suitable template to connect them. So I wrote a couple of articles on this subject:
- 2002 Hebron ambush
- Ein 'Arik checkpoint attack
- Wadi al-Haramiya sniper attack
- as well as the destroyed tanks article. Two of them are now tagged as not “notable” and one other has been defined as an “orphan”. I am not sure of the implications of that.
- It is not simply a list of ”the number and types of destruction of a particular type of military hardware”. It’s an article about seven well-planned Palestinian military operations specifically targeting Israeli armored vehicles during the Second Intifada, leading to substantial losses in men and material. They are just as “notable” as the Palestinian terrorist acts against civilians. I don’t insist that the article remain a list. Quite the contrary, I would welcome the addition of more analytical issues, such as how IDF responded to the Palestinian capability to destroy their tanks. I could accept to subdivide the article into seven separate articles (the one about Shalit incident being redundant) but these would generally be very short, like most of the terrorist act articles, but without a suitable template to connect them. Maybe Template:Non-terrorist attacks against Israelis in the 2000s?Jokkmokks-Goran (talk) 23:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please read What about article x?, as it explains how it doesn't matter what other articles exist. It could simply be that no one has nominated those articles for deletion yet, so their existence is automatically considered a non-argument to keep any article. This isn't an opinion, by the way, it is one of the most fundamental elements of a discussion in an article deletion. Lists ARE acceptable at Wikipedia, assuming they meet the criteria a WP:LISTS. This one does not, and also violate WP:NOT. Dennis Brown (talk) 23:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your non-policy based argument aside, if you really want to make sure everything is fair and equal the correct analogy to "Palestinian terrorist acts against civilians" is "Israeli terrorist acts against civilians." However there is an article on every single one of the latter but not on every single one of the former. Get to work.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted because. Ascent Media's entertainment holdings were bought out by 2-3 different companies in December 2010. Ascent Media itself has re-branded itself into a completely different company with a different name in a different industry, so Ascent Media no longer exists.

- Comment This needs reviewing, but the grounds for deletion are not the right ones. There are plenty of articles about companies that no longer exist. The correct question is whether it was ever notable in Wikipedia terms.

- ESS Drum & Bugle Corps (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The notability and even the existence of this article's subject is suspect; attempts to verify it have produced nothing. A Google search for ("ess drum" bugle) yields nothing that looks like a reliable source; apart from WP-related links, the only "ESS Drum and Bugle" link is to a Tumblr page. Searching the online archives of the local newspaper, the Imperial Republican, likewise yields nothing: a search for "bugle" produced zero hits, and a search for "drum" produced 15, none of which appeared to concern the subject of this article. It is highly unlikely that a newspaper in a town the size of Imperial (population ~2000) would not have covered a local organization like this. If the article's claim that the organization was commissioned by the state government were true, then there would almost certainly be Google results as well.
Note also that an IP editor twice inserted material concerning the ESS Drum & Bugle Corps into the Imperial, Nebraska article on January 4, 2012, and that the name of the group's organizer was changed between these two edits (1st diff and 2nd diff). This article was created at about the same time that these edits were taking place, by an apparently just-registered editor.

- Delete. Per nom. WP:POLITICIAN may confer notability on a state-elected official. However, Brodkorb was not elected to his position by the people of Minnesota; he was elected by the Minnesota Republican Party. Thus, Brodkorb would have to meet WP:GNG, which, I don't think he does. He does act as a GOP spokesperson in his position as Communications Director for the party, but that doesn't make him independently notable as he is more or less just a conduit. Finally, his blog may get some press, but it appears to be confined to Minnesota only and is probably insufficient to make him notable. As for the recent events, that is clearly insufficient under WP:BLP1E.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:11, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisting rationale: This article is a BLP. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 13:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Whether or not he technically passes/fails WP:POLITICIAN, Brodkorb appeared to be a major player among Minnesota conservatives even before the rumors regarding Amy Koch were reported. Per Ann Coulter: "In liberal's imaginary world, lone blogger Michael Brodkorb is more powerful than the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and the entire liberal blogosphere." Per Jay Weiner: "Brodkorb was then Minnesota's most active right-wing blogger."[6] Appears to have been a "powerful" part of the Minnesota GOP: [7][8]. It's silly to use WP:GNG to give a pass to an individual for some obscure record only listed in Guinness World Records, but not someone like this. Location (talk) 03:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There seems to be substantial coverage of Brodkorb in respectable sources. He appears to have played a major part in shaping his party's campaigns and messages, so he was more than "just a conduit". Argument that "he wasn't elected, ergo, he fails notability standards by WP:POLITICIAN", would apply with equal force to, say, Lee Atwater or David Gergen or George Stephanopoulos. Ammodramus (talk) 18:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep WP:POLITICIAN is irrelevant, since he easily passes GNG - in that he has significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources [9], several of which I have added to the article. This reference says that he and Koch were "the two most powerful people in the Minnesota Senate." And it is not a case of WP:BLP1E, because he had plenty of coverage before his recent resignation and even before he went to work for the senate - for example, over his role in a landmark libel suit.[10] --MelanieN (talk) 18:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Good find! Question -- I'm not certain whether this matters, but were you able to find any independent coverage of her winning this award (I see that the paper reporting it -- which is clearly an RS -- is her employer). I was not familiar with the award, but it certainly sounds notable.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've noticed that she works for Al-Ahram, Epeefleche. I also noticed many books and journals on Egyptian culture/literature where she is quoted or mentioned. I simply don't think she's a nobody in her country and that's why I oppose deletion of this article. I'm probably not familiar with the background to compile a better article, but I believe it is possible - and here at AfD we should discuss potential of a topic. In my opinion the article has potential; all we need is a competent editor, not deletion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:30, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, V. As I said, the award certainly sound notable. If it is sufficient to have coverage of her winning it that is not independent -- but from the highest level RS, which I believe Al-Ahram to be -- I would be inclined to withdraw. I'll await a comment or two, and if they agree, I'll withdraw on that basis. I'm less concerned than you with whether the article has a competent editor, as you put it, but that the right support for notability exists ... even if it is not in the article. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:41, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See this[12] for example. I've done lots of edits to the List of Mayday episodes page and Northwest 85 was made into a episode and it aired last week in Canada per Discovery Canada.)

- Thanks. A question. All of the text in the article we have !voted on lacks inline citations, which are required with challenged text to save it from deletion, in accordance with our core policies. Are you suggesting that, despite this, the text be merged? I support any RS-supported text being merged; but I'm not sure that non-RS supported text should be re-created in an article, especially when it has been challenged. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:42, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- merge as appropriate. I think the that can be perfectly well documented , though not perhaps from third party sources; third party sources are not absolutely necessary for routine information about institution, unless there's a reasonable challenge to the accuracy.Let's be honest with ourselves: how much of an encyclopedia would be left if we removed everything without third party sources--especially since, contrary to what Epeefleche claims, they need not be inline unless controversial facts must be specifically sourced. Not everything will make Featured article standards. DGG ( talk ) 06:54, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi DGG. The article as it stands now has zero text which is supported by refs. The existing text has been challenged.

- Comment - I'm not entirely sure about this one yet. By checking Google Scholar above, one can easily see that this object is only mentioned twice, and even then only among lists of similar objects. This shows a lack of in-depth coverage that I would normally use as grounds for deletion. However, its is possible that sources may be hiding under a slightly different name. For example, a search for "2000 EH26" on Google Scholar gets more hits, and some of them may provide some in-depth coverage. I don't have time right now to check them all out, but they may be good for establishing notability. Chris the Paleontologist (talk | contribs) 02:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
delete- an unreferenced one-liner without any desription , not to say assertion on notability. Unnecessary for other wikipedia articles: nothing links to it. All scholar refs seem to say only that someone saw it. There are zillions of these rocks up there. Lodni Vandr (talk) 02:48, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- List of minor planets says "there are 310,376 numbered minor planets, and about as many yet unnumbered". That is not "zillions", which is not even a number. In any event, their number is irrelevant, see WP:NOTPAPER.James500 (talk) 07:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- As to "no links", this minor planet is included in List of minor planets: 162001–163000, and that list is supposed to have a link to this article (if it is retained).
- NASTRO says that this should be redirected to List of minor planets: 162001–163000 if it is not notable. I do not see any suggestion that it should be deleted. And AfD is not for merger proposals. James500 (talk) 07:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Lodni, I did not say that you did not suggest that it should be deleted. I said that NASTRO did not suggest that it should be deleted.

James500 (talk) 13:36, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I understand where your confusion comes from. This page is called "Articles for deletion". The nominator could have written nothing at all, and still his proposal by default is for deletion, by the nature of this page. If he wanted merge, he would have used {{merge}} template, not {{afd}} template. There is a chance that the nominator was confused as for options. However he does not continue the duiscussion and we cannot second-guess his "true" intentions, therefore we carry out this discussion according to WP:AFD, not WP:MERGE.

Begun as an article on Americanized cuisines from other cultures, this article is now little more than a definition and a (partial) listing of various cuisines, without references to reliable sources.

In fact I'm having trouble deciding whether this article is merely unintentional self-parody by the subject or someone close to him, or an attack page by someone intent on embarrassing him: "In his early life, Paul was always considerably handy in mechanics. He holds a degree in automotive technology. He had always thought that Government was a well oiled machine but learned that its 'inefficiencies and inconsistencies' needed immediate attention.

I've read the sources -- typical "meet the candidates" pieces with age, grew-up-here, owns-this-business, and soundbites on how government should be better and so on; or just rehash of press releases.

- Substituting the word "significant" for "in-depth", I repeat my earlier comment/query (as yet still unanswered): short meet-the-candidate basic bios and press release rehashes are not "in-depth" coverage, regardless of how many there are or the circulation of the paper. Please point to the article you consider the most significant -- perhaps I missed it. EEng (talk) 04:13, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- It does to the extent we're relying (as Carrite does) on WP:POLITICIAN, which as already mentioned provides that A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.

I am unable to find independent sources to verify these claims (including the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation website).

Primary school. Zero refs, for which it has been tagged for 2 years, though it does have a primary source EL. Appears to be non-notable, per what I understand is our standard approach with primary schools. Tagged for notability over 2 years ago. It purported claim to fame -- the attendance of a notable person -- is not IMHO sufficient to confer notability upon it.

- Comment But as stated above, the current standard procedure is that such a school is mentioned, but in the main article for the area, rather than an article in its own right.

- 'delete for the present. It's a non-notable independent primary. WP:Runofthemill. The source quoted above can not seriously be considered either 'significant', nor 'independent'. As is customary in this sort of market, the publisher collects their information not by sending independent inspectors into the school to survey and write the entry, but by asking the school to write it. At the bottom of this page they are asking schools to "promote your school or company". I've had a good look at the sources without success. If someone else can find some significant coverage by independent sources, I may be willing to change my mind. Redirect to Camden#Education if necessary, but I can't see the point myself. Fmph (talk) 07:04, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That source is adequate to establish notability because it has an independent publisher and operates in a commercial marketplace, in which people will pay for this information. If you are concerned with the probity of independent inspection then, of course, we have that too - see here for a detailed inspection report. The school is thus clearly notable and the balancing of these various sources is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Warden (talk) 14:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The ISI is about as independent as the TUC. It's a trade assocation. Fmph (talk) 14:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No. It is an inspectorate which is explicitly authorised by the Education Act and whose performance is reviewed annually by Ofsted, e.g. here. They are certainly a reliable source for our purpose, having a specific concern for accuracy and professional standards. Warden (talk) 14:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Indpendent Schools in England are inspected by Oftsted unless they are members of the ISC in which case they are subject to ISI inspection. So what we have is a report that the school HAS to have. It doesn't make it notable. Still not "voting", just clarifying Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Schools only have to have inspections if they fulfil certain criteria of size, status, &c. In any case, the essence of notability is that there should be sources and the reason that these sources are created is immaterial unless it affects their independence. Movies and books get reviewed as a matter of course by professional reviewers and such reviews are considered satisfactory for those topics. There is no reason in policy to set a higher standard for schools. Schools are more worthy of our attention than this week's movies such as Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 because they are less ephemeral and more respectable. Warden (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The essence of notability is not that there should be sources. I think you need to study WP:GNG again. Fmph (talk) 15:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The text of WP:GNG is "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.". See - it's all about the sources. Q.E.D. Warden (talk) 16:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry to have to do this again, but statement "Schools only have to have inspections if they fulfil certain criteria of size" is demonstrably false. The smallest school in England [13] has an inspection report [14]. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 15:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a maintained school. For independent schools, the threshold for registration is five pupils: "An independent school is defined as any school that provides full time education for five or more pupils of compulsory school age...". So there are criteria there of both size and age. Q.E.D. Warden (talk) 16:02, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So if it has less than five pupils it is not defined as a school. Thanks for proving my point! Tigerboy1966 (talk) 17:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it just means that it doesn't have to register. Schools with few pupils may still be considered schools as your example of a school with 3 pupils demonstrates. Warden (talk) 17:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify: if it's a maintained school, it gets inspected regardless of size. If it's an independent school with 5 or more pupils it gets inspected. If it's an independent institution and has less than five pupils it is not defined as a school. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 18:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, the school which is our topic has about 200 pupils. It was founded in 1875 and so has over a hundred years of history under a variety of regulatory regimes. Under the current one, it is registered and inspected by independent, professional inspectors whose detailed reports of ~12 pages provide ample material upon which to base an article per WP:WHYN. The topic is therefore notable as defined by the WP:GNG and that's that. Warden (talk) 19:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Woman who murdered her children and is now in prison. Classic WP:BLP1E. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep - Notable not just because of the brutal and pre-meditated murders of her children, but also because of the length minimum sentence which was "one of the longest jail terms given to a woman in the UK in modern times". BLP1E states "if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them". The BBC ref already discusses Kumari-Baker alongside the likes of Beverley Allitt, Rose West and Myra Hindley, all of whom already have articles. Additionally, the later of these is deceased and Allitt is held at Rampton Secure Hospital whereas Kumari-baker was deemed to be in an healthy mental state (aside from very minor depression). Allitt also received a shorter minimum term of 30 years, so Kumari-Baker's tariff is second only to West's in terms of living British female prisoners. There's also the issue of wider child protection issues with people expressing concerns about the perpetrator before the crime and the murders resulting in a serious case review. Her crimes have already received coverage in this book discussing empathy [15] by Simon Baron-Cohen--Shakehandsman (talk) 04:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It hardly seems relevant to point out that the BBC has mentioned other women sentenced to long prison terms in an article about Kumari-Baker's sentencing. That is part of the one event that we are discussing here. Likewise, if Baron-Cohen mentions her, it is almost certainly in relation to this event. In and of itself, this is a tragic though unremarkable crime and has had no visible effect on law, policy, etc. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Child killings are not automatically notable. This article as it remains can't stay under the womans name and needs moving to Murder of Davina and Jasmine Kumari-Baker. Although crimes against children are especially upsetting to all the question remains, is this double murder notable? Wikipedia:Notability (events) seems to be the related notability guideline. I had never heard of this double murder so I will have a search around to see what results it returns. Youreallycan (talk) 13:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Are the names of the victims more discussed and more identifiable of this topic than the name of the killer? I doubt that. postdlf (talk) 16:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably not. This woman is not "highly notable" as you can see by looking at the article and citations currently in it. As to whether she's "notable enough" for an article under her own name I am undecided. Youreallycan (talk) 15:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Are the names of the victims more discussed and more identifiable of this topic than the name of the killer? I doubt that. postdlf (talk) 16:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. This would be better analyzed under WP:NOTNEWS rather than WP:BLP1E. This is far from a "classic" BLP1E, in that the subject is not a private person only incidentally caught up in a larger newsworthy event not of their own making (as an article on her husband would be). Instead, the "event" of the murder (really a rather facile word to use here) was solely her own intentional conduct. And to further roll into that the highly publicized trial and her apparently historically significant sentence really stretches the word "event" out of all reasonable meaning. A crime such as this is really a biographical one, in that who she was in relation to the victims, her motive for for killing them, and her trial and incarceration afterward is the real story; the method of exactly how she killed her daughters, though relevant, is just a small part of the story that is much less important by comparison (this isn't an elaborate bank robbery such that the commission of the crime gets the greatest weight in the story). Currently the article doesn't even have any discussion of her possible motives, despite information on that; I hope that hasn't been intentionally excluded because to do so would be to completely misunderstand the nature of the subject and how best to write about it.
So in my view, the only question is whether there is lasting significance and sustained coverage of her such that this would not just be routine news coverage. There's at least a prima facie case for that, and no actual counterargument so far, so I'd like to see more discussion on that point. postdlf (talk) 16:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think a small, free game created in a weekend with little content and gameplay deserves as much attention as its own page. If anything this should be a small section on Markus "Notch" Persson or Minecraft's page. (Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotron:_2084#Remakes_and_sequels ) Thanks chaps. --206.248.165.19 (talk) 02:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC) — 206.248.165.19 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- The above is a rationale for deletion posted on the article's talk page by an IP user who attempted to nominate this page for deletion. I am completing the nomination on their behalf, but I am not expressing an opinion about the page at this time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, as creator of article. This game actually has no direct relation to Minecraft, beyond having had the same creator make it. It has had significant coverage in a number of gaming news websites and periodicals. It is also practically guaranteed to have further coverage when the "sequel", MiniTale, comes out fairly soon. (I am still debating with myself on whether I should make MiniTale its own article when it comes out and have this article be a subsection there or something else. Of course, it all depends on the specific amount of coverage MiniTale gets. It might end up being a subsection in this article instead.) SilverserenC 09:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, the page is on a very topical subject and thus does not have longevity of the encyclopedic worthiness to distinguish it from indiscriminate adding of information, particularly in it's lack of depth and duration of coverage. Possible future developments are speculative, we could say that many things could become notable but what matters is if they are. --Dishcmds (talk) 10:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Tossing out policy links is not an argument, especially when you're using them incorrectly. The only close to correct statement is the final one. But, let's start from the beginning. A video game is not an event and is not subject to the Events notability guideline. There is no indiscriminate info in the article, as it does not fall under "Summary-only descriptions of works", "Lyrics", or "Excessive listings of statistics". The info in the article is specifically about the game, its background, its gameplay, and its reception in gaming media. And you used another erroneous link to Notability (events), which I already commented on, so skipping that. As for crystal balling, I was referring to what should be done with MiniTale when it comes out, but Minicraft already has significant coverage in gaming media, as expressed by the references in the article. SilverserenC 10:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This article does fall under indiscriminate inclusion of non-notable topics. This game was created during an event and for an event, the competition. Hundreds of games have been created during this event and Persson has created several others for past events, but not those hundreds of games or his previous games or even the winners of the previous competitions have their own article pages. The game was made in one weekend and is comparable to thousands of existing java or flash games in it's depth of gameplay/content. Coverage of this competition is limited in depth and duration, as is coverage of the game. Crystal balling what coverage may be in the future doesn't justify an exception to notability requirements for the current coverage.--Dishcmds (talk) 15:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You're saying thousands of flash games get coverage in gaming magazines and major gaming websites? If they do, then they should also have articles. The notability guideline for all articles is the WP:GNG, which this article passes with flying colors. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by depth of coverage. The sources discussed how the game was made, the gameplay within the game, and then also made comments on whether the game was good or not (critical reception). That's the information that all game articles have. This article currently meets the notability guidelines. Whether MiniTale will do the same will have to be seen, but Minicraft clearly currently meets the guidelines. And what the game was created for is irrelevant. Just because the game was created for a competition doesn't make the game an event itself. The competition is an event, not the games within it. And even the competition doesn't fall under what Wikipedia defines as an event, considering it is an ongoing thing. An event is an explosion, a shooting, a death, things like that. A competition doesn't really fall under the event rules. SilverserenC 20:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Articles aren't deleted because of lack of longevity. Once notability is established, it's considered permanently notable (WP:NTEMP). BBC news, Wired news, PC Gamer, PC World are all major publications and have established notability.

- Merge with Mojang. The content from this article would significantly improve the coverage of the company's history. Jarble (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Minicraft isn't Mojang's game. It was made as a personal project by Persson for a Ludum Dare, unrelated to Mojang. Wagner u t c 18:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Markus Persson, per the above. This is where his other Ludum Dare entries are, and I agree with Dishmcds' statement regarding the longevity of the coverage. Also, I don't think it passes WP:GNG because the sources imply this was notable for about one day. If MiniTale is released and fits the criteria for notability, then merge this into MiniTale instead. Cheeftun (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It has clearly been notable for more than one day, as the sources continue for more than one day, even up to as recently as two days ago (and I could probably find one for today as well). Remember, for now, sources about MiniTale are also about this article. Once MiniTale comes out and it gets coverage, this article will be moved, so we're discussing a one and the same game. SilverserenC 21:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Having searched on Google News, I see only two news articles across multiple sites: articles reporting on Notch entering Ludum Dare and describing Minicraft, and articles reporting on Notch's intent to spin it off into MiniTale. These strike me as reasons as to why MiniTale may be notable enough for its own article in the future, not why Minicraft requires differentiation from Notch's other Ludum Dare entries. Also, the sources I've read do not distinguish it from his other entries on merit, which, again, indicates that Minicraft should remain in the list of Notch's Ludum Dare entries unless and until MiniTale is notable enough for its own article. If MiniTale itself had more coverage, I would suggest moving it now, but as you mentioned earlier, MiniTale's notability at the moment (outside of the announcement) is speculative at best. Cheeftun (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So you're essentially saying that if reviews of a game come out within the same time period after a game is produced, since that counts as one time period, the game is non-notable? That's not how things work and that's not what notability is. Notability is the fact that so many different gaming magazines and news websites wrote an article reviewing Minicraft, regardless of how short a time period it was that they all did it in. SilverserenC 21:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- If you're talking about a review with a rating, there's not going to be one for a game that was made for free. MiniTale will probably get some, if Notch has it cost something, but free games don't get normal reviews, they get news coverage, like this one has. Another example of a free flash game is Robot Unicorn Attack. It didn't get ratings because it's free, but it got tons of news coverage. SilverserenC 00:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't know if that's supposed to be a negative comment about Minicraft or not, but either way, these types of games don't get ratings from gaming periodicals, they just get coverage, much like any other indie type game.

- Keep. I'd say WP:1EVENT should have been applicable. However, Wikipedia's guidelines are biased towards content reliably sourced, and reliable sources in this case are biased to cover Persson's game instead of 890 other games from the competition. It certainly seems unfair and systematic bias is a big problem, but we ought not compromise Wikipedia principles. The content is verifiable and reliably sourced to satisfy WP:GNG at is simplest form. Also, I think there's too much sourced content to merge, so an independent article is fine. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge This seems to be a case of inherited notability, as the game is not really of much significance in itself outside of it's creator. On that basis the article should be merged with it's source of notability, Notch himself.62.49.19.234 (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The reliable sources given would indicate it is notable on its own. Whether it is because Notch is notable or not (inherited notability) is not a factor when addressing WP:GNG.

- Keep as the topic of this article is actively in development. As noted above, the state of notability may change after MiniTale is released, which may be quite soon. As a comment before realizing this I was going to suggest Merging with Minecraft which is the only article large and developed enough to receive this article without major problems, and Minicraft is most related to Minecraft among those articles.Theinactivist (talk • contribs) 20:47, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also expressing concern with the large numbers of school nominations at the moment; it can't be expected that all editors be able to respond to this mass act of deletionist ideology. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 00:29, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect (blank, and merge any useful content) to List of primary schools in Hong Kong. Non notable schools are generally not deleted; instead, as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to the article about the school district (USA) or to the article about the locality (rest of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Kud. Out of curiosity, I noticed that you suggested merging any useful content. From what I can see, all of the content here is unreferenced -- no references to non-RSs, let alone RSs. Are you suggesting that any of this content should be merged? Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:59, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Keep or Merge One thing is certain, this article is not going to be deleted; I can find no consensus, however, as to whether this article should be kept or merged; the best way to determine that is a separate discussion on the article's talk page..

Redirectto Breathing as plausible redirect. The ICD used in this article doesn't mention Nasal Breathing. ICD 10 is used for "mouth breathing" while ICD 9 is used for "Other symptoms involving head and neck".--Lenticel (talk) 04:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Don't delete. This is obviously a real medical/physiological topic, so it likely has received substantial coverage; I'm inclined to say keep, but I strongly believe that it should either be kept as an article or retained as a redirect as suggested by Lentice1. Nyttend (talk) 05:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Redirect to Breathing. This is an unnecessary fork, but it contains content which should be added to the Breathing article with appropriate references. Also merge/redirect the companion article Mouth breathing. There actually is a fair amount of information in the medical literature on this subject, for example [17] [18] [19]. --MelanieN (talk) 07:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The topic is notable and so should be developed further per our editing policy. Warden (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Breathing. Whilst important, I don't believe it needs to be a stand-alone article. Bazonka (talk) 22:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Click on Google book search at the top of the AFD. They measure nasal breathing for a medical test to be done [20], plus people write about viruses its more vulnerable to than mouth breathing, etc, in various books, plus one about psychiatry and nasal breathing. This article can surely be expanded. Dream Focus 17:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Though footage for the film has been shot, it does not appear to have entered principal photography. The production designer has pointed to a June start date, and a lead actress says she won't be working on it until September. The page therefore does not pass WP:NFILM.
