Browns-Lions rivalry

Delete The Browns and Lions do not have a rivalry. Simply being among the oldest of NFL teams does not mean they are rivals. This article developed off of a premise that is WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:01, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The Browns were actually in the All-America Football Conference originally, not the NFL and that franchise moved to Baltimore, with a new expansion franchise adopting the historic name and colors. There is no "Browns-Lions Rivalry," although one might be able to sell me on a "Lions-Packers Rivalry" or a "Lions-Bears Rivalry." As such, not an encyclopedic topic, protracted competition between Random Team A and Random Team B in Random Sport X does not a notable topic make. Carrite (talk) 23:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a historical rivalry and the two teams played in THREE nfl Championships in the 1950's if this shouldn't have an article that why should Bucs-Dolphins? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.63.104 (talk) 01:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no sources provided. I don't doubt that the games are played, but I do doubt that it is a "rivalry" so to speak. If the original editor is overly enthusiastic, go with userfication of the article and bring it back when it's ready.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No sports rivalry is inherently notable per WP:NRIVALRY. A sports rivalry should should satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG for inclusion as a stand-alone article topic; GNG requires that the subject must be discussed in a material way in multiple, independent, reliable sources. The media coverage of this "rivalry" does not satisfy those guidelines for inclusion. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:30, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The policy based opinions, WP:OR/WP:SYNTH and not meeting WP:GNG, are decidedly not for keeping. A merge was considered but as AdventurousSquirrel pointed out it would only be appropriate if reliable sources could be found. The only sources found were by Muboshgu and fell short of defining this as a rivalry. J04n(talk page) 12:28, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indians-White Sox rivalry

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

Delete/merge to Major League Baseball rivalries where appropriate, if reliable sources can be found to back up what's in the article. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 22:31, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Delete I do not for the life of me understand the desire of some to create "rivalry" articles for obscure matchups. Yeah, they're in the same division, but that doesn't necessarily make them "rivals". That should be a high bar to clear, like NYY-BOS, LAD-SFG, and a few others. As for this one, a Google News archive search will of course find some hits for "indians white sox rivalry", since the two teams have been around for so long. But, one of the first hits to come up says things like they "may have" developed a rivalry, and that was 1994, and another questions whether or not there is one, and that's from 2003. I'm not convinced that any amount of sourcing would suffice to save this article from WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This rivalry has 10 1/2 finishes as well several other competitive seasons, 5 no hitters the 1994 corked bat incident, shoeless joe also played for the Indians so it is a competitive rivalry with history — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clecol99 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem with that is that saying there have been "10 1-2 finishes", they're both lakefront cities, etc., is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH - you're taking some facts and trying to claim that verifies a rivalry, when it doesn't. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll agree with you on your comment on the lakefront cities which is a moot point in this rivalry but they have 10 1/2 finishes which makes for a competitive rivalry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.63.104 (talk) 22:55, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - These two teams have enough history that I'll leave it for the baseball historians as to whether a truly historic rivalry has existed between these franchises. I'm dubious. Carrite (talk) 23:12, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not significant. There is virtually no history between these teams.Ultimahero (talk) 19:42, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

did you even read the article?.And define your definition of history, what do you mean? by what happenend in the games between the two teams? or 1/2 finishes.Im lost— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.63.104 (talk) 20:26, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The article mentions the years 1906-1908 but it's pointless because nothing happens. There are two close years in 1919 and 1920, then nothing for thirty years. The White Sox stunk it up during that stretch. Both were better in the 50's but were largely irrelevant to each other since the Yankees dominated that era (winning eight pennants during the decade.) The lone exception during the 50's where Cleveland and Chicago were relevant was 1959. After that Cleveland stunk up the 60's and then in 1969 they were placed in separate divisions which only served to push them even farther apart. So, from 1906 to 1993, we're looking at three close years. That's all. I think I'm justified in saying there is virtually no history there. Things get a little better from 1994 onward since they're in the same division but even then there's only four close seasons: 1994, 1997, 2000. 2005. It's just not enough to be called a rivalry.Ultimahero (talk) 20:47, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article reads like a separate history of the two teams. The word rival or rivalry isn't used one single time. Lastly some seem to think a rivalry is only present if two teams are any good. Anyone familiar with college football knows that isn't necessarily true. Still in this case, we have two sources(that don't say rival or rivalry either) that two teams exist but nothing more....William 11:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think that Xxanthippe could have found a more suitable category. After carefully reviewing the history of the page and searching to see if Dong Jun Wu met any of the notability criterion, I agree that the professor does not meet WP:Prof and the article reads like WP:RESUME. However, I disagree that it is a personal fluff piece - multiple users have contributed, though the main ones came from two users which could, potentially, be the same.

There seems to be very few independent reliable sources about the necklaces (or its concept), and those few I could find are little more than mentions that they exist.

Weak Delete, the organization appears to have receive multiple passing mentions in reliable sources. However, the published content of those reliable sources does not have the group as the primary subject of the content, and it is my opinion that the coverage of the organization found does not add up to be considered significant coverage of the organization. Significant coverage maybe created by a reliable source in the future, but presently it does not exist to indicate that the subject is notable per WP:GNG or WP:ORG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nuru (massage)

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

The article is about an erotic massage technique that does not meet WP:N. A 4 January 2013 prod delete request was removed by an IP.[1] A much bigger problem is that editors also are intermingling information in the Nuru (massage) article about Nuru brand massage gel, which has nothing to do with the erotic massage technique. This has upset the company that manufactures the Nuru brand massage gel as noted in this help desk post. The Nuru brand massage gel does not meet WP:N either, and I think the best way to address the problem is to delete the Nuru (massage) article as not meeting WP:N. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:55, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete - I'm not certain what the basis for the claim that the massage technique does not meet the notability criteria is - those criteria seem massive and complex - it would be helpful if the someone could articulate why this technique is not notable. The main issue seems to be around a dispute with a manufacturer of a gel that shares the name - that issue can pretty easily be dealt with I would have though, without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Tilapidated (talk) 21:29, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Tilapidated, the simple version of notability is that the topic has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources (those with editorial control, fact checking and a reputation for accuracy). I have not found any such coverage, so I see no "baby" worth saving. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only two sources for this article are in regard to information about the town the person is from, not the person himself. There is a lot of original research regarding family trees and photographs of the person's gravesite. I'm not convinced, after a few years of the citation tag being there, that anyone will take the efforts to prove the subject's notability. MezzoMezzo (talk) 13:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~, if this is not a WP:HOAX, then notability should not be an issue (saints in a major religion, even if only revered in a specific area, are notable). Do note that the Urdu wikipedia article is older than the English one, if this had been an outright fraud I'm sure there are people there that should have reacted. Also, do note that there would be many different ways to write the name in English. That said, the article needs some massive copyediting and attention from expert on the subject. --Soman (talk) 14:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See, I have no way of checking these things. It has sat untended for so long, and it seems as though non-Urdu speakers have no access to these sources. I'd be willing to fully withdraw any intimations of deletion if one of you or someone else who speaks Urdu would properly source this. Saints in any religion are important, but my issue with articles like this - which are primarily OR - is, how do we decide who is a saint and who is just an editor's pet project?

Comment I never thought that deletion was a tool to force the addition of sources. Per points six, seven and eight on WP:DEL-REASON, the nominations seemed appropriate.

The result was no consensus. At a first glance, it looked like an obvious keep closure. But in determining consensus, the debate was nearly impossible to read, because of some mess that doesn't involve this specific individual, which made many of the comments here invalid, and that David in DC took care off. Now discussing this individual, the main debate is whether he meet GNG or not. The main source discussed in this debate doesn't give any indication why he meets GNG, as it's a clear cut one sentence passing mention of film review. In regards to policy, it is considered an invalid source to determine notability as it doesn't describe the subject "directly in detail". Based on this debate, I can't decide if the rest of the sourcing mentioned by the keeps commentators is valid nor the delete commentators doesn't go into extensive detail with the sourcing they found, and considering the mess that put this article on AFD in the first place, it is impossible to determine consensus here and relisting the debate for further commenting is practically useless.

Thank you for your inquiry, Evanh2008. Others may be curious too. New material posted at Dervorguilla’s user page should answer your question. --Dervorguilla (talk) 12:47, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, as notability has been established by non-trivial mentions in two sources, albeit possibly not by sources that pass WP:RS. In any case, this is not a hoax, as Unsigned above seems to be implying. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 08:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

“Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources,” WP:REDFLAG. Not many four-year-olds could have played the role of the Czech Officer in Eleni. Not without a serious makeover. -- Dervorguilla (talk) 09:13, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And if that had anything to do with the article, that might be a compelling argument. As it now stands, the article doesn't mention him playing a Czech Officer in anything. If another source does, that's their problem. Verifiability and Notability are different policies. An article will not stand or fall at AfD based on verifiability issues (not that the problem you mentioned is even a verifiability issue, but you seem to be implying that it somehow is). Unless there is a credible reason to believe that Aaron Schwartz does not exist, and was not in Heavy Weights and The Might Ducks, this AfD should be closed per WP:SNOW. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:27, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it looks as though the Eleni confusion was brought about by confusion with another Aaron Schwartz. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 09:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article now says he played the Czech Officer in Eleni at age 4 and the Forensic Pathologist in Suspect at age 6. -- Dervorguilla (talk) 11:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, congratulations. You've added material you know to be false to an article you don't like in order to justify your demand for its deletion. Disrupting Wikipedia to make a point is a fantastic way to get what you want. /sarcasm Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 06:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Probable Delete~~ Playing a Forensic Pathologist at the age of SIX? No. I can accept Heavyweights as the age is about right for the part. Others are really the other Aaron Schwartz (I), who was old enough to play a night club owner in 1977. This one's a 'former actor', who became a Location Assistant - but has acting entries at IMDb up to 2012. There's a lot wrong here. (I) and (II) are mixed up, and the information that might be relevant is contradictory. Needs a complete rewrite if Heavyweights is considered enough for notability. Peridon (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should have looked into the history. Changing to Revert per Metropolitan90. Peridon (talk) 21:33, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to last version by Callanecc. The problems with this article stem primarily from this edit by Dervorguilla, which was made today, and which added information about, apparently, two other people named Aaron Schwartz into the biography of this actor. This is an apparent case of building the Frankenstein monster -- taking information about two or more people with the same name and combining them into the biography of one person. The actor Aaron Schwartz born in 1981 [2] may be notable enough for an article, or maybe not, but he deserves to have his article evaluated on its own merits rather than by trying to evaluate him as though he (a) had been an actor as an adult when he really was a child, and (b) has switched to the much less prominent occupation of being a ___location assistant, when those jobs were actually performed by two other people. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In addition, Dervorguilla also removed information from the article that mentioned the subject's other roles, such as a recurring role on Gossip Girl. (See [3] for confirmation that that is the same Aaron Schwartz.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Metropolitan90’s point that Dervorguilla removed the unsourced material is correct.

2. Dervorguilla did not add information about two other people named Aaron Swartz. All sourced information in current article is from ref 1 of 1. The material can be removed by deleting the article.

“Poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately…. If such material is repeatedly inserted … report the issue.” -- Dervorguilla (talk) 21:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ref is Yahoo! Movies - if that's as reliable as Yahoo! Answers I wouldn't trust it very far. Based on IMDb (which at least is maintained by performers themselves), that is a conflation of IMDb's Aaron Schwartz (I) (the elder, who played adults in the 1970s and 80s) and Aaron Schwartz (II) who was in Heavyweights and the young roles. Calanecc's version is as accurate as I think we'll get. But we need to lose that Yshoo! reference as it is junk. Peridon (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, material is not contentious except to Dervorguilla, who is only trying to get this article deleted because he doesn't like (and keeps incorrectly removing) the hatnote on Aaron Swartz. Give it up. Yworo (talk) 22:21, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Yworo’s point that Dervorguilla doesn’t like the hatnote is correct.

2. Dervorguilla doesn’t like the hatnote because “[it] targets a stub created in 2007. Only one substantive edit by a clearly legitimate editor — and he acknowledges, ‘I was in his class.’ Link could be seen as promotional.”

3. The hatnote was removed by MarkBernstein.

4. MarkBernstein doesn’t like the hatnote because “it was only added recently and it seems unlikely that many people will find it useful.”

5. The article was nominated for deletion by Andy Dingley.

6. Andy Dingley’s point is that “we need critics, not just IMDB.” -- Dervorguilla (talk) 23:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's clear that the current article conflates two or more different people. But Schwartz the child actor probably does meet Wikipedia's notability standards: he had major roles in significant movies. I'm of two minds about that hatnote; do we require hatnotes to be symmetric as a matter of policy? It seems to me that a link from Obscure Fellow to Famous Fellow is likely to be quite useful to people who land on Obscure's page by mistake, whilst hardly anyone who visits Famous's famous page is really wanting to find Obscure. But I don't feel strongly about the hatnote. MarkBernstein (talk) 23:32, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes are for finding similarly named people and similarly titled articles on Wikipedia. They are there to help people who aren't sure of the spelling of the person they are trying to look up. They are used regardless of the obscurity or notability of the target. It doesn't "harm" the article of a more notable person to have a hatnote pointing to a less notable one. Hatnotes exist to help people! What Dervorguilla is basically saying is that he doesn't like to help people find the article they were looking for simply because he doesn't want "his" article "marred" by a functional and easily ignored hatnote. That's inappropriate ownership. I say, "Tough!" Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, if Dervorguilla doesn't want to allow other people to improve Wikipedia, s/he should really reconsider precisely why s/he is here. Deliberately introducing erroneous material into articles through the misuse of sources is one of the few unforgivable things one can do on Wikipedia. If I were an admin, s/he would already be indefinitely blocked. Yworo (talk) 23:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hatnotes are usually from famous to obscure, or to close but different spelling (in which case they can go both ways). They very seldom do any harm, unlike the mixup here - however it happened. What I want to see here, now we've established that this Schwarz, that's IMDb (II), has certain things in his CV. Another Schwartz (I) has other things that crept in here through use of a bad source (we all do it at times...). We need to source to a better place than Yahoo! Movies - even if it's only to IMDb for now. I'm assuming that whatever's gone on here was by mistake rather than vandalism, and I hope everyone will try to find references to sort it out. Except me - I'm going to bed... Peridon (talk) 00:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Glad to see the reversion to the correct version. However, I do not feel filmographies count as RS in terms of establishing WP:N.

- After the article was sourced I was pinged for a 2nd opinion. Basically all that the sources say is he had a minor supporting role took time off and now has another supporting role. They might as well be filmographies. This is all incidental stuff. There are no sources that really tell us anything about him.

Weak keep of current repaired and sourced version (kudos to User:Yworo), as there is a case to be made for enough of his very few roles being significant enough in notable productions to meet WP:ENT, and there is a case to be made for WP:ANYBIO's being gently tweaked at by a group of youngsters receiving industry and peer recognition.

OK, fair enough. I'll split it out. Keep because Yworo has pulled out the vandalism and gotten the article back to a state where the article, while still needing more sources, asserts sufficient notability, in reliable sources, to scrape by on GNG.

But the vandalism to the Schwartz article is waaaaaay more important than whether we keep or delete the Schwartz article. Once this AfD is closed --- whether as keep, delete, redirect, no consensus, merge, rinse, lather, or repeat --- I urge the closer to refer the WP:POINT, WP:BATTLEGROUND, and WP:OWN issues outlined here to an appropriate forum for further review and whatever counselling or other measures might seem appropriate.

Comment Supergrub might be an elaborate prank or hoax. There is no mention of the band on Chuck Treece's page. And there is a mention on the Ben Kenney page, but I haven't tracked how long it's been there, only recently been linked. On BK's page it says he formed the band with CT, as does it on the Supergrub page. However, CT's involvement on BK's page is uncited. And on the Supergrub page there is one source - MTV, which is copy-and-pasted or mirrored from... wikipedia (MTV "source"). This is also of note in that this page was created as a first edit by a brand "new" editor, who also went on to add nonexistent categories with Kenney's name prominent in them to well-known bands' pages. Sounds pretty clear that someone is toying with Wikipedia, likely to benefit Ben Kenney unduly. As there are NOT two notable members of the band (that are verifiable), it no longer passes WP:Band. strong delete JesseRafe (talk) 03:04, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by creator of page Hello, this seems to be one big misunderstanding. Let me make it clear that I'm purely a Ben Kenney fan, no way associated with him at all. This is no hoax or anything remotely like that. I'm just a new user trying to learn and get used to wikipedia. I just found it frustrating that it's incredibly hard to find information about the band, so I gathered what data I could to try and clear things up.

- First things first, if you doubt Chuck Treece's involvement in Supergrub, in the official Mcrad release "50/50 Split" there is a song called "Sunday" which is exactly the same song as one of the tracks on the Supergrub release "Norma & Thurselle" and if you listen to that song and the album, it's very obvious it's Treece singing those songs. Unfortunately, I don't have anything more credible than fan forums, song videos on youtube, or the CD itself. Can provide tons of links to forums, including the official Ghetto Crush forum (which is Ben's label). I think because he was in the band only briefly for one album, it's hard to find much information on the internet.
- Those doubting Ben was in Supergrub, if you listen to the albums off itunes, "Challenger" in particular, it's very very obvious it's Ben's voice (plus the fact that Ben's label Ghetto Crush is the one who put it up on itunes), but for a more subjective reason, there was a recent tweet he did Ben's tweet where he hash tags (though slightly misspelled) #Supergub

Also, Ben tweeted his about.me page here: tweet to about.me and on it, it has a short description saying he was in Supergrub. So then it becomes a matter if you want to call Ben a lair claiming Treece was in the group on the old Supergrub site. Sorry if I went about editing the page the wrong way, I'm just trying to learn the ropes around here. I have more sources I've read in the past giving more information about the band, but I can't seem to find them atm. I'll add them when I do.Redonkulousemu (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:27, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Twitter is not a reliable source, and that probably would be defined as original research. Wikipedia operates on a basis of verifiablity, not truth, and a Tweet saying "I was in band X" isn't verifiable for establishing notability. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think the band is a WP:HOAX. iTunes is still selling their last album they released back in 2000.[4] Incidentally, it was also released by Kenny's record company Ghetto Crush Industries.[5]. It should also meet WP:BAND. "Chuck Treece's Supergrub" makes a passing mention in this Philly.com article.[6] Even if you were to take Treece out of the equation, Kenny fulfills point 6 by being a member of both Incubus and The Roots. The article would need a substantial writeup though, with additional sourcing. Funny ^Pika! 00:25, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So I found an interview with Ben Kenney where he talks about being in Supergrub. Doesn't mention too much about the history of the band besides how it was frustrating how the band didn't seem to get anywhere commercially. He also talks about the album Challenger and why the songs are titled the way they are. [7]He starts talking about it at 3:25. Hopefully this dispels the hoax accusations.Redonkulousemu 07:13, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It reads like a resume rather than an encyclopedia article. I'd start by removing the lists and then work on the sourcing. The page would need to meet the notability criteria given for academics or biographies to sway this discussion. Funny ^Pika! 21:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I checked various combinations of names/initials, but all the JW Thompsons I found writing on HIV/AIDS or related medical topics on GS & PubMed seemed to have different forenames (eg there is a "Jennifer W. Thompson" and a "Joseph W. Thompson" writing on HIV/AIDS, and one or more John W. Thompsons writing on other medical topics). Of course, with such a frequent surname, it's possible I missed something. If the article is kept, it will certainly need a radical shortening to make the source(s) of notability more apparent.

Response to MacGyvr (above the relisting). The award from The Body seems to me the closest readily verifiable claim to meeting notability guidelines. Although I can't find an article for The Body.com, I believe it is likely to be a notable national AIDS advocacy & education organisation. However, there are 51 HIV-associated US health professionals listed with an award.[10] Just for comparison, I have only been able to find an existing article on one other of these (Perry N. Halkitis, an academic with a substantial publication history). Alone, it doesn't seem a sufficiently important award to meet the notability guidelines for biographies, which require an award to be "a well-known and significant award or honor". Espresso Addict (talk) 00:54, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We would be looking to see if someone else has cited his article as a reference in a paper of their own. That's one of the ways we evaluate the person's publications - if a lot of people are citing the person's work it suggests they are influential in their field; see WP:ACADEMIC. Citation information can be found if the article is listed at Google Scholar. Here's how you look for that: [11] See the note under each article "cited by xxx". Unfortunately Mr. Thompson's article did not turn up in that search; most likely the journal that published his work is not indexed by Google Scholar. --MelanieN (talk) 16:13, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's clear that Mr. Thompson is a fine person and doing important work. But unfortunately that's not enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. The requirements for an article here can be found at WP:BIO for people in general, or WP:ACADEMIC for people based on their professional qualifications. Neither seems to apply to him. The award he got, while admirable, is not a " well-known and significant award or honor" (we're talking Nobel Prize type awards), and he has not made "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". I know, the criteria are awfully high and they leave out a lot of people whose friends and colleagues might consider them notable - but this is an international encyclopedia and it has to have standards. --MelanieN (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Overly broad list, lacking a narrowly defined topic, without any notability of the subject matter. This pulls random groups together from across the entire realm of fiction and publishes them in a single article due to the trivial fact that they are "resistance movements".

Keep The basic criterion is that there be an article on WP, and then that the the group be highly significant in the work in question. This is not vague, because whether something is significant enough to be listed is always a matter of judgement, and can be discussed on the talk page, since the basic source for the content of a work is the work itself. But the list of groups and people should be separated; that this needs to be done is a reason to do so, not a reason to delete. . The real problem with this article is that there are a few dozen more to add from famous works in various genres. If the work is famous enough , there will also be secondary sources, as every article/book on the work will mention them if significant. Certainly this can be done for at least #4, 5, 14, and 15.

~~Delete~~ The basic problem here is that there's no external source in which to ground the treatment as required by WP:LISTN. At the moment, it's a compilation of examples from popular SF but these examples will not be well-supported by sources. The sources that exist will tend to focus more upon fictional treatments of historical resistance groups: Christians in early Rome; Saxons after the Norman conquest; the French resistance to the Nazis; &c. As an example, see Encyclopedia of Slave Resistance and Rebellion which references numerous fictional works such as Ben-Hur, Birth of a Nation, The Color Purple. And if you want to be recentist, then there's Django Unchained to add to the list. But if we toss out all the unsourced pop-SF and put in lots of entries about resistance to American oppression, the article becomes a political battleground for which it would need a stronger foundation.

List of artists from the MACBA collection

Delete Fails WP:NOTHOWTO. At the moment the page reads like a medical health guide for non-Indians intending to travel to India. It probably would've been better to remove the prose and rename the original page List of yellow fever vaccination centers in India rather than Yellow Fever in India. Having said that, the list itself hasn't been referenced and probably would've failed WP:NOTDIR. Given that yellow fever is only prevalent in Africa and South America, I don't see a need for this page. It'd be similar to having an article named Yellow fever in America or Yellow fever in Russia; slightly redundant. Funny ^Pika! 22:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sudsy Malone's Rock 'n Roll Laundry & Bar

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

Sigh. I love this place. I probably went to a few hundred shows there and performed on it's stage a dozen or so times myself. To me, it is and was an important and unique place. I mean really, a bar featuring live music pretty much every night, where there is no cover if you bring a bag of laundry... that's just awesome. And many bands that went on to greater fame graced it's stage. But is the venue itself notable in the broader sense? It is no problem to find hundreds of raw google hits for it, but most of them are directory type listings or mentions of shows that took place there. There is very little on the establichment itself. The one reference currenty included appears to be a sort of "guide to everything" so being included in it is probably not an indication of notability. I found one or two mentions of their closure a few years ago, but nothing substantial. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

the thing is, it never really was a "local landmark" unless you were part of a few specific subcultures in the late 80's and most of the 90's. I've just taken a very depressing walk down memory lane using Google street view and it is clear that the city got what it wanted, it completely and totally killed everything unique and interesting in this neighborhood and it mow looks like any other generic city street with cell phone stores and crappy sport bars. Sudsy's, at least when Google was there, is just a blank storefront. Everything else I remember from this block, except Bogarts, is gone. For those of us that were part of that scene Sudsy's will no doubt retain a special place in our memory, but the world at large took little notice of what went on there. This is just how cities go i suppose, in my parent's day all the hippioes hung out in Mount Adams, now a very expensive place to live and not somehwere any hippies would be welcome. And the Clifton scene aged out and moved to Northside. I feel old. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:19, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know how you feel; I have a few remember'd places like that too. There'd at least be a case to merge a sentence or two (plus a reference to the magazine article), presumably to Corryville, Cincinnati where this place is already mentioned unless there's a better target. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:24, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The reference already in the article is The Rough Guide to the USA which highlights this establishment as a landmark in Cincinnati. This is quite adequate as an indication of notability and AFD is not Wikipedia's laundry room. Me, I miss lots of establishments such as the Chicago Pizza Pie Factory. There's no article for that so that's what needs fixing, not this. Warden (talk) 11:31, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Journal of Global Health

AfDs for this article:

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

Non-notable journal. Recently restored after having been deleted at AfD about a year ago. Article claims that the journal is included in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, an EBSCO database, and CINAHL. PubMed indexation is automatic for any open access journal included in PubMed Central and therefore not selective. According to the coverage lists for the Web of Science and CINAHL, the journal is not included in those databases. EBSCO databases are not very selective and "EBSCO Health Policy Reference Center" is only a minor one. Therefore, this still does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG: no independent sources, not indexed in any selective database. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 11:38, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Randykitty for taking the time to explain. I am looking for evidence for the Web of Science and CINAHL indexing. If that evidence is found (as in an online link like the ones that you have presented) would that mean that the journal is notable enough? I read the notability guidelines and I understand that it may not be notable enough anyway - but I wanted just to double check with you. Also - how long before this article gets deleted? e-korax (talk) 22:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs get closed after 7 days (if a consensus has emerged), so there are still 5 days to go. WoS would be perfect as evidence, Scopus is good, too. I'm not sure whether indexing in CINAHL alone would be considered enough evidence of notability (I mentioned it above because it was mentioned in the article). --Randykitty (talk) 22:24, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Randykitty. In your first point you mention that "PubMed indexation is automatic for any open access journal included in PubMed Central and therefore not selective". In the NML catalogue FAQ however mentions that only 20-25% of the reviewed journals are selected for indexation (FAQ: Journal Selection for MEDLINE® Indexing at NLM). Does that change your view on this point?e-korax (talk) 21:15, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but the criteria that you mention are for inclusion in MEDLINE, not PubMed Central. MEDLINE is indeed selective and evidence of notability, but unfortunately, this journal is included in the non-selective PMC, but not in MEDLINE. --Randykitty (talk) 21:48, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I see. I was hoping that other users would have helped by now in editing this article. I don't think I have any more information to add and as it looks my information may not be 100% correct sometimes. Based on the notability criteria I agree that we should delete it. I will try adding it back when hard evidence of inclusion on selective databases is found and when it gains impact factor. Thanks for all the help.e-korax (talk) 10:09, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Thank you for relisting, I somehow missed the first listing of this. I am loath to delete the article as the journal is relatively new, it is published by a respected educational institution with a worldwide reputation (U. of Edinburgh), has on its editorial board scholars from a number of developing countries, and publishes medical-related articles written by scholars from a number of developing countries. These facts make the journal rather unique and valuable. I understand the concerns about information contained in the article that may be erroneous, but this calls for editing, not deletion. WP:NJournals does not call for any specific indexing source in the notability criteria. The journal does meet the criterion: "the journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources". Google scholar turns up citations of articles from this journal in the National Institute for Health databases, including the National Center for Biotechnology Information database; Lancet; PLOS Medicine; the Central Asian Journal of Global Health; the Journal of Global Health Care Systems; International Journal of Global Health and Health Disparities; and others including citations in published books. This makes the article pertinent to our readers. Meclee (talk) 14:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm sorry, but you completely misinterpret WP:NJournals. When we talk at AfD about notability of just one single academic, we require hundreds if not thousands of citations to establish notability. A handful of citations to a complete journal therefore does not make it notable (otherwise we could just stop having AfDs for academic journals at all, because all but the absolutely newest of them will have at least some citations to them). Being new is not a reason to keep a journal either: as we cannot predict how it will fare in the future. NJournals, contrary to what you say, does call for specific indexing criteria, namely being indexed in selective, major databases. (That excludes GS, by the way, because although it is major, it is absolutely not selective). --Randykitty (talk) 15:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The newness of the journal was only one rationale given, linked with the reputation of the publisher and the editorial board. Being indexed in selective, major databases is only a measure for Criterion 1. The argument is for inclusion under Criterion 3. GS is not being used as an index, but to count citations, of which there are hundreds (221), I only listed a handful. Since it is a new journal (2011), one could not expect thousands of citations. Meclee (talk) 21:33, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When talking about a journal, to me 221 citations is a "handful"... Article creation is clearly a case of WP:TOOSOON. --Randykitty (talk) 16:20, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - An impressive new journal in an important scientific field. The University of Edinburgh is a leading public health research center. The journal's editorial board, including regional editors from around the world is quite impressive. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but notability is not inherited. In these discussions we have never given any weight to who is or is not on an editorial board for that reason. Whether we think this journal is impressive or not is also immaterial. What is material is the fact that there is an absolute absence of independent sources and that the journal is not included in any selective database. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 16:20, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute insistence that inclusion in a selective indexing database is the primary criterion for notability seems quite contrary to WP:NJournals. The citations I'm referencing are citations of articles in the journal, not the "complete journal" (to which there are over 37K citations); 221 citations of articles in the journal seems very good for a journal less than 2 years old. Is the major problem that the journal is electronic? It also has a print ISBN, though most libraries will not carry a print copy where an electronic copy is available. Electronic journals have become well accepted in most academic circles, now.Meclee (talk) 22:14, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My comments have nothing to do with the journal being electronic only, as yous ay, many journals nowadays are electronic only and more and more journals are abandoning print. However, I'm afraid you're misinterpreting the GS search results. I get 228 "hits". Those are items published in this journal (and journals with similar names, such as the Journal of Global Health Care Systems). The number of citations, though, is MUCH lower. As far as I can see, there are less than 10 articles that have been cited even once, 1 article cited twice, and 1 article cited three times. Even for a journal that has been around for only 2 years, that is pretty abysmal. Many new journals get into the Journal Citation Reports in their first year of publication and then start with an impact factor of 2 or 3 (meaning that in the mean, every article they published has been cited 2 or 3 times). Having 221 GS hits is just a function of how many items the journal (and those with similar names) have published, but it doesn't say anything about the impact that those items have made. So to get back to NJournals, you are right that inclusion in selective databases is not the only way that a journal can get notable, but this one does not meet any of the criteria in NJournals and doesn't have any independent sources, so it doesn't meet WP:GNG either. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 23:28, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that you can start in Journal Citation Reports with an impact factor, because you need to be 2 years in WoS to get the official impact factor. e-korax (talk) 11:33, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that normally an IF is calculated over 2 years. However, it is a common misconception that this means that journals have to wait 3.5 years (2 years of publication data, one year for the citations to be counted, half a year until those get published) before they get an IF. Some journals get included in JCR after just 1 year and obtain an IF the next year, based on 1 year of citation data only. To name just one example: Genes, Brain and Behavior, established in 2002. If you have back access to the JCR you can see this. My access goes back to the 2004 JCR (published 2005). If you search for this journal, you'll see that it has an IF of 3.846. If you clikc on "impact factor trend", you will see that it had a 2003 IF of 2.864. Scroll down to the calculation, and you'll see that this is based on citation in 2003 to articles published in 2002, whereas for citations in 2003 to articles published in 2001 you'll see 0 citations and 0 items published. There are more examples of course, but one is enough to demonstrate the principle. In the mean, this new journal's articles got cited almost 3 times within a year of being established. --Randykitty (talk) 11:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, with no prejudice to recreation once it is listed in selective abstracting databases, such as Medline. As the nominator notes the journal does not appear to be abstracted by CINAHL or Web of Science. New journals can attain notability very quickly but it's the exception not the rule; many fold after a few issues. This has only published 4 issues so far.

Comparison of risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-ins

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

The article is a list of non-notable software Ronz (talk) 17:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Userfy There is a lot of good information in this article. But the WP policy on list-based articles like this is that the entries on the list should be notable according to, e.g., WP:GNG, and should ideally be subjects of articles themselves. In this article, all the entries appear to be cited with external links. It would be a worthy project to go through these and figure out which add-ins are in fact notable, but as it stands there is no demonstrated notability. This article would be a good candidate for userfication for further development without the threat of deletion; alas I don't have the time to take it on myself. --Mark viking (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is actually a complete list of software used in risk analysis, a very important area of business and science. It is the ONLY complete list I have come across, it is accurate, well-referenced, unbiased and current. It's very hard to understand how its removal could improve Wikipedia or benefit mankind. I don't understand the objection at all unless it is driven by someone with a vested interest in seeing it disappear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.183.200.251 (talk) 20:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The main difference between, for instance, Comparison_of_raster_to_vector_conversion_software and Comparison of risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-ins is that most or all entries in the lists of the first article are linked to Wikipedia articles on those entries, whereas none of the entries in the second article are linked to Wikipedia articles. It is an important difference, as list-based articles on Wikipedia are supposed to be lists of topics with Wikipedia articles. This policy is laid out in the Manual of Style at the WP:LIST page. Any entries on the lists without links to associated Wikipedia articles could be deleted. For instance in the Comparison of raster to vector conversion software page, there is a WiseImage entry that has no article linked; this entry could be, and perhaps should be, deleted from the list.

For what it is worth, I very much sympathize with your position. There is a lot of good information in this article, it was a good bit of work to organize and write up, and the information is obviously useful for those interested in the topic. Personally, I think there should be a place on Wikipedia for these sorts of articles; that verifiability, not notability, should be good enough for comparison articles. But that is not the policy at Wikipedia and we aren't going to be able to change the policy in the the context of this particular discussion. This is why I suggested userfication; a keen editor could figure out which add-ins are notable (see WP:N for details) by Wikipedia standards and provide evidence in the form of articles with reliable sources WP:RS for the entries that that have then. It would be a shorter list, but the resulting article would be robust against those editors that would seek to delete it. --Mark viking (talk) 16:34, 2 February 2013 (UTC).[reply]

I am new to editing Wikipedia, but I would propose that this software list is largely notable. My understanding of the notability requirement is that references must exist, but the article doesn't necessarily have to include them to be considered notable. This is a specialized area which I am currently learning about, and many of these tools are industry standard tools in finance, project management, enterprise risk management, and technical fields. I'm confident the references to support notability are out there. The theory behind their function is described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method This list is also referenced by this page on probabilistic risk assessment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_risk_assessment I believe this content is both valuable and notable and the page should be included in Wikipedia for further development and editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CBorgfeld (talk • contribs) 15:36, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:IAR - no one wants to delete this article, and there's no need to do it "because the rules say so" - we have a rule that say we don't have to. Another option is to merge the table into Decision-making_software where the requirement of notability won't destroy the encyclopedic, verifiable content; WP:PRESERVE agrees with this outcome.

Keep as an good candidate for WP:IAR - also as I read WP:LIST it is intended for simpler lists, and the notability requirement for list items is sensible to avoid indiscriminate addition of, for example, people, theories etc. This article contains more verfiable encyclopaedic content than that.

Redirect The OMAPI protocol is not part of DHCP, but is part of the reference dhcpd implementation put out by the Internet Systems Consortium. For sources, I found a reference page on OMAPI created by IPAM, and a blog which gives advice on using OMAPI. The first source is a reliable secondary, indepth reference, but the second is unreliable by WP standards. The manpage is reliable and indepth, but is a primary source. At this point, the topic seems subthreshold for WP:GNG notability in a standalone article. But the topic certainly has the verifiability for a merge or redirect to the DHCPD article. I've taken the liberty of merging the verifiable information from the OMAPI article into the DHCPD article, so a simple redirect is all that is needed.

Carol Everett

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

Lacks the coverage in reliable sources necessary to pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Most sources available are grossly unreliable (including those which are primary), others are WP:ROUTINE announcements (probably including paid listings) or trivial quotes in passing that don't satisfy the significant coverage requirement for notability. One or two more in-depth pieces from the subject's hometown area show WP:LOCALFAME at best, just as if Everett were a local restaurant or a high school play that got a review.

No coverage in reliable sources = not notable per WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Mentions in reliable (as opposed to unreliable) sources are WP:ROUTINE announcements (sometimes paid listings) and/or trivial quotations in passing. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:39, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A quick search provided many reliable sources. She has written plenty of books, has been interviewed in Fox News, has been published in an interviewed by Health Matrix, she has been cited and interview in WorldNetDaily ([http://www.wnd.com/2011/02/264177/ link]), there are many videos of her speeches and interviews on YouTube and she even has an entry on IMDb. She definitely fits the requirements for notability by WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Also notice that the article may be poorly written or lacking reliable sources, but the deletion discussion must be limited by WP:POTENTIAL, not current state. She is definitely notable and the article definitely has potential. --Hugo Spinelli (talk) 00:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm familiar with WP:POTENTIAL, but the sourcing just isn't there (in the world, I mean, not in our article). Even most of the sources you link are inadmissible (WorldNetDaily) or trivial (a minute-and-a-half interview on what is not the most reliable network). YouTube videos, IMDB and her own two books (published with tiny, agenda-driven publishing houses) don't do anything since we need reliable, secondary sources. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:54, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a small non-scheduled airline, which in my opinion fails the WP:CORP notability guideline. There is no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. All there can be found are the most basic pieces of information like contact details and self-published press releases.

Delete. I stand corrected, there are two different Vishnu Tirthas. This website points out that the 18th century Vishnu Tirtha is different from the earlier (probably 14th century) one. That makes Hinduism: An Alphabetical Guide by Roshan Dalal the only reliable source for this article. The coverage of Vishnu Tirtha in this reference is not significant, so the article fails WP:GNG.

The following statement was posted on the article talk page. I think it was intended to be taken into account in this discussion. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:23, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Closing up an article for a scientific journal, is worst than cutting a tree. To improve it is a mission. On the first steps of Academicus, one of the most distinguished sociologist in the world, Franco Ferrarotti, addressed his thoughts about the new journal as following:

“A new magazine that began in an era dominated by electronic messages now clearly is both an act of intellectual courage and fervent hope for the future. Especially in countries that are developing into modern industrial sense, such as Albania, a magazine like this could mark a turning point than the political theories still purely intuitive or dogmatically metaphors of the past.” We, the Academicus Journal Team, feel nothing else but e deep surprise the request to delete the article. The obligation of all us academicians is to open up a window in human reasoning. People than have the right to choose what’s best for them — Preceding unsigned comment added by Academicus Journal (talk • contribs) 21:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC) — Academicus Journal (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

As an encyclopedia we aim to cover topics that are already accepted as part of the corpus of human knowledge, as demonstrated by their being covered in independent reliable sources. See WP:Notability for the official explanation of this principle. We do not cover topics that are hopes for the future or that could mark turning points unless and until those hopes are fulfilled and they actually do mark turning points. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:36, 2 February 2013 (UTC) P.S. We ought to have an article on Franco Ferrarotti. He may not actually be one of the most distinguished sociologists in the world, but he does appear to distinguished enough for us to have an article.[reply]

If Franco Ferrrarotti can not be considered one of the most distinguished world wide still alive sociologist ?! http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Ferrarotti Give a look at Google Scholar (since the others can be viewed by payment) and see yourself the citations :http://scholar.google.it/scholar?q=franco+ferrarotti&hl=it&as_sdt=0 Give a look what he wrote about Academicus Journal:http://academicus.edu.al/?subpage=news Members of the Editorial Board of Academicus are distinguished personalities such as Thomas Patrick Melady, 38 Doctor Honoris Causa Title: http://academicus.edu.al/?subpage=board, as well as other distinguished personalities such as Michele Marsonet or Invernizzi Emanuele, ex-president of EUPRERA Is is the International Editorial Board compounded by 8 members, leaving aside the Scientific Committee of 32 members. Academicus- International Scientific Journal is really a good one, it is not an emerging one but is operating from 5 years Do you really think that all this distinguished personalities were going to lose their time and deal with something not worthy???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabor Vasmatisc (talk • contribs) 14:19, 3 February 2013 (UTC) — Gabor Vasmatisc (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Whether or not Ferrarotti is the most distinguished sociologist in the world or not is absolutely immaterial, as are the reputations of the persons on the editorial board and scientific committee. Please see WP:NOTINHERITED. What we need to establish notability of this journal are ideally independent reliable sources or, barring that, evidence of inclusion in selective major databases.

I'm the user who originally wrote this article, then you put a template which showed that "it is promotional and should be deleted", then "there is no enough resources and should be deleted". These are some of the sources (CEEOL, EBSCO publishing, Euprera, ISSUU, Index Copernicus International, Institute of World Politics). Newspapers (kohajone.com - sq , www.bashkiavlore.org - sq). TV ( tvklan.al). I am administrator in the Albanian language since 2009, maybe you think sq.wikipedia is much lower level than English, which is true, but from my experience, this article does not deserve to be deleted. If so, then let us examine this list of articles in this category of academic journals, most of them are in the same situation, some worse, but are still active.--Liridon (talk) 19:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don(t know who you mean by "you". The editor who originally proposed this for speedy deletion as being promotional has not participated in this debate, I think. Neither has anybody said anything negative about the Albanian WP, which is independent of the English one and has its own policies and guidelines (with which I really am not familiar). The sources that you give in your comment have been discussed above. None of them are selective databases (some of them are just user-contributed sites), none of them show any notability for the journal. The newspaper references that you give just mention Academicus in passing in connection with its editor, Musaraj. I agree that there are other stubs that perhaps merit deletion, but WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (aka "WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not an argument that carries much weight in an AfD discussion. --Randykitty (talk) 19:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:NJournals, Notes and examples point 1.: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the journal is included in the major indexing services in its field. Examples of such services are Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Scopus." Previously it was mentioned that Academicus is indexed by Scopus: http://www.hub.sciverse.com/action/search/results?st=academicus+2079-3715 So if I understood well, this means that Criterion 1 is fulfilled by Academicus to be considered notable by Wikipedia.

Writing “to be or not to be” is not productive, since existence is not simply a matter of perception. Being part of any data base is simply an editorial board issue. It is a particular data base which selects based on the application of certain criteria, definitively it is not up to an encyclopedia. Being listed in a database doesn’t means that you are a qualitative entity or at list famous. It is similar like telling to a certain university that cannot be included in an encyclopedia since it has not been listed in the best 500 referring to the Shanghai list, even if 10.000 students are actually enrolled in this university. I do not want to believe that this is being applied for small country such as Albania or for a journal originating from this country because it questions the basic principles of Wikipedia. We are afraid we are being discriminated. You cannot ask to a gifted child to grow up and become famous and then we will talk about you. More than 100 authors from all the world cannot be a simple coincidence inside a scientific reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabor Vasmatisc (talk • contribs) 15:08, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all. Nominator has withdrawn Vijith Shetty from the nomination.
Soccor Velho is hardly a player with 1 or 2 appearances about whom we know nothing. Click the Google news link at the top of this page and we find six pages of results, in reputable newspapers, going back to 2005. OK, they're match reports: what do you expect for a sportsperson? But there's plenty to start making a half-decent article on the subject if anyone wanted to, and a player with an 8+ year career at the top level in India can't have avoided personal coverage if one knew where to look.
Creson Antao was playing for Dempo when they reached the semifinals of the AFC Cup in 2008 and was still playing for them as they won the I-League in 2012. Here is a lengthy article from just last year, which starts off "Defender Creson Antao has emerged as ‘Mr Dependable’ for the newly-crowned I-League champs Dempo Sports Club..." and is devoted to that player.
I'm a little concerned at the absence of WP:BEFORE about this nomination. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will drop Creson then because I also found a Dempo page with info on him but I will keep Soccor. The thing is that when Soccor started playing professional football the I-League was not professional and no one cared. Even when the professional I-League began no one cared. Then when India played in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup that is when people started to care. And that is also when websites decided to do profiles or interviews but mainly with the younger players. The only time an older player, like Soccor, would get a profile or interview for us to know more about him is if he is an international or if your club actually does profiles on their website. Other than that no one cares about the player sadly.

I will see what I can do but I am keeping Soccor in this discussion. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The players have had substantial careers in what is now a professional league, it seems reasonable to assume that there will be offline sources available to assist in enhancing the article.

Keep - no adequate reason proposed for deletion. Keep all. Offline sources are likely to exist confirming and detailing further aspects about this player's career. C 679 09:10, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am seeing moderate coverage around 1980 in publications like the Los Angeles Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Chicago Tribune and Billboard. Clearly not a major act, but they had a couple of two bit hits, enough for an encyclopedia article. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:23, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Enough coverage found in GNews/GBooks to establish notability. --Michig (talk) 13:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
