Weak Keep. On the surface, it seems like an article is premature here - as noted, above, this is a bit cutting edge. But there are sources, and the ones I've checked seem to be ok. There isn't a lot here, and notability is paper thin - but it's just barely sufficient, I think. Obviously, more sources would be best. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 12:57, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. After weighing all contributions and rationales carefully, it is my estimation that there are good editors citing relevant wikipedia policy on both sides of the debate. However, I believe that those making an argument for deleting (which include those wishing to merge or redirect, which are both, in that sense, not wanting this separate list) the article outweigh those wishing to keep. Therefore, delete is the outcome. In my cursory review of other articles here, including Papal conclave, 2013 and a random selection of the articles of the persons/cardinals listed here, it seems there isn't anything that needs to be merged, per se, but someone with interest in this topic (I have Zero) could update those articles to include significantly referenced material about the speculation each was involved in, if appropriate.

List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave

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

I think there is little justification for a separate list of papabili. The usefullness of such a list is extremely limited. Actually, media may discuss about the chances or merits of virtually all cardinal-electors and possibly even some non-electors or even non-cardinals. When we look in the past, we'll quickly recognize that almost in every conclave in the last 500 years over a half of the electors were considered papabili by external observers and the elect was always among them (see Ludwig von Pastor, History of the Popes, vol. 1-40, passim). But this not make sense for creation a separate article, esp. in the form of the table, with little comments. I think that this topic should be included in the article papal conclave, 2013, but without giving it too much weight. It should focus only on those who are reported as supported by some groups of electors or as having particlarly strong position among electors, not all those merely discussed by media. This may refer to Turkson and Scola, who actually are widely discussed in media and there are rumors that Scola is a favourite of Benedict XVI. Currently, this is simply a list of media-speculations, often based on wishful thinking, not on the information about real views of the cardinal-electors. CarlosPn (talk) 19:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very speculative, unhelpful. half the freaking conclave is on the list. Delete this please. -- Y not? 19:39, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This nomination does not even bother explaining which guidelines support deletion. It is alleged that "media may discuss about the chances of virtually all cardinal electors..." So what? What does that even have to do with the article? There are 115 men who will vote for pope, and 26 are listed at the article. That hardly fits with the nominator's overly dramatic attempt to make a point and User:Y's unsupported contribution. The fact is that there is no frontrunner, according to cardinals who have talked to reporters. So it shouldn't be a surprise that 20-some names have been bandied about. Even if there are more names than there should be (for instance because each name should have two independent sources), that is a discussion to be had at the article's talk page, not a reason to delete. The word "papabile" refers to cardinals whom Vatican watchers believe are candidates for pope. This is either because cardinal-electors have mentioned them or, more likely, because they fit the criteria that cardinal-electors have said they are looking for in a pope. It is therefore inescapable that the source for this will be the media. But when it comes down to it, Wikipedia often has lists of "potential candidates" at election articles based on nothing more than exactly this sort of reporting, so this is hardly the oddity that nominator tries to make it out to be. American election articles and articles for party leadership elections, particularly in the UK and Canada, are frequent examples of this. There is ultimately no reason to restrict the information to Papal conclave, 2013. -Rrius (talk) 23:26, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I don't no what articles about other elections you are talking about but I think that this article has no encyclopedic value. We should remember that in the conclaves there are no public candidatures and the electors are obliged to keep secrecy. Most of the references are nothing more than a short characteristics of some cardinal-electors with comment whether they might be elected, and neither of them pretends to be exhaustive list of those who may be elected. There is actually no clear criterion of "who is papabile". The article Papabile gves the following defintion: a Catholic man, most often a cardinal, who is thought a likely or possible candidate to be elected pope. And, in the very same article, one can read that Pius X, Pius XI or John Paul II were not papabili, which is completly erroneous when we use this definition. They were not main favourites, but certainly they were papabili. So who actually is Papabile? I do not oppose to providing any press-information concerning possible successors of Benedict XVI, but I think that there is no sense in creating separate article, with no clear criteria of adding the names. This should be a part of the main article about papal conclave, 2013, where we should mention which cardinals are most frequently mentioned and who are reported as having a chance to get votes. BTW, most recent reports from the Cardinalitial congregations in La Reppubblica and La Stampa (cited by Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita[2]) indicate that Italian and curial cardinals have little chance to get any significant support from the electors. This is an important information for the readers, not the media-speculations that often have nothing to do with the real pre-conclave proceedings among the electors. The topis itself should be incorporated, but in the limited form, in the main article about conclave. This is my view CarlosPn (talk) 00:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - First of all, it says "reasonably" likely. Second, it is clearly implied there (and it is a fact) that the term applies to those thought by Vatican watchers (journalists and academics who make their living following Vatican politics) to fit the definition. The criterion for inclusion is clear: if Vatican watchers have suggested a person is a candidate for this conclave, the person should be included. If that criterion is seen as lacking, the answer is to tighten it up, not to delete the article. The fact that two newspapers have said something and that thing is not included in the article is a reason for adding that thing to the article, not for deleting the article. The fact of people being noted by experts on the topic as potential candidates is clearly noteworthy, so the argument for deleting the article just isn't very strong. -Rrius (talk) 03:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - This will lead us to create a list with several dozen names. I'm sure that within the next days press will report several additional figures as papabili. But what is a sense, what is a usefulness of such a list, of creation a separate article? This list says us nothing about real estimation of the chances o the respective cardinals. I propose to include a topic in the article papal conclave, 2013. CarlosPn (talk) 08:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Even if your first sentence were true, so what? If the actual situation on the ground is that several dozen people are noted as papabili, what possible difference would that make? And where in the world do you get the idea that there several dozen more names will be added? Second, who the papabili are for a given conclave are is a notable topic. This is something that has been a part of the process for hundreds of years, not a few days. As for the "real estimation of the chances", why should that matter at all? That is not the point of the list. If people want to research that, they can read the sources we provide. If this nomination is successful, readers won't be able to do that. Finally, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from starting a section about papabili at Papal conclave, 2013 if there isn't one already, so that is completely irrelevant to whether this article should exist. -Rrius (talk) 12:05, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although I agree trimming is a good idea. Early reports of papabili are likely to include anyone technically papabile. It's likely we'll see the list naturally winnowed as time progresses, but it makes sense to apply stricter scrutiny to existing reporting. The topic easily passes WP:GNG, however. Delete per outcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave. --BDD (talk) 23:54, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(Posted before BDD's 20:00, 13 March 2013[3] position change. -- Jreferee (talk) 11:26, 15 March 2013 (UTC)) I generally agree with this. As I noted on the article's talk page, one candidate is listed solely because one reporter wrote, "our thinking is that any Italian between 65-75 in the curia or a major diocese has a fair shot." Frankly, I suspect that if any meaningful standard is applied the list will be pared down so much that the only practical choice will be to merge the information into the longer article.Arnold Rothstein1921 (talk) 02:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Posted before BDD's 20:00, 13 March 2013 position change. -- Jreferee (talk) 11:26, 15 March 2013 (UTC)) But this is what I really propose - to delete the list, but incorporate the useful information to the main article. I do not propose the censorship on that topic. Basing on the press reports from Italy, actually only Scola, Sandri, Scherer and perhaps Turkson were reported as those who can count on support of certain groups of electors. All the other are media-speculations, not even about the real chances (I mean, what support could he received, how many votes, who could vote for him etc.), but simply about whether this or another cardinal has a qualities or what arguments may be put forward in his favor CarlosPn (talk) 08:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm thinking the opposite. Given that eight years have passed since the 2005 papal conclave, Wikipedia could have a great List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave since the scholars will have had a chance to analyze and summarize all those newspaper reports about the 2005 papal conclave and have the benefit of cardinal's post-pope-voting writing on the 2005 topic. The lack of a Wikipedia article on List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave shows a lack of interest in the topic, meaning that the interest in "List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave might be short lived like that of the 2005 list so that the present 2013 papal conclave papabili views may be more along the lines of WP:NOT#NEWS. Of course, this AfD has a much wider attendance than the AfD for List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave, so "outcome" might not a viable view. So far, a viable delete position is Wikipedia:Too soon: While the 2013 papabili list topic might arguably merit an article, it is simply too close in time to the 2013 papal conclave to determine who was papabili since the secondary scholarly sources have not yet had a chance to evaluate the writings about the 2013 papal conclave and, without the secondary scholarly sources, it is too speculative for Wikipedia editors to determine who should added to the Wikipedia list. -- Jreferee (talk) 11:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While we do have a lot of people on the list, all of them (according to various bookmakers) have a fair chance of being elected ([4]). Shawn Is Here: Now in colors 03:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The oddsmakers are fun, but I think they're not a very good tool to measure probabilities. If you add up all the probabilities implied in the Business Insider article alone, you'd have to expect 1.5 Popes to be elected. Oddsmakers clean up by putting odds of 15:1 on outcomes that they really think have negligible chances of occurring.Arnold Rothstein1921 (talk) 04:00, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bookmakers are no real sources that enable us to appreciate real chances of the candidates. The using of this kind of "sources" makes this article useless - it's nothing more than trivia CarlosPn (talk) 08:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No one is "using this kind of 'sources'" in the article, so please let's not be intellectually dishonest. The editor was making the point that the betting markets provide some evidence that these candidates are seen as viable. -Rrius (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This list is effective in identifying prospective Cardinals from various countries. It's certainly an improvement from the previous article on this topic (List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave). FitzColinGerald (talk) 06:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For me, the existence of this article is rather an argument for deletion it too. It does not cite any references. It is completly unknown what were its criteria. Simply another non-encycopedic article that does not prove encyclopedity of this list CarlosPn (talk) 08:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - On the flipside, nothing you have said sets out any explanation as to how this article fails to be encyclopedic (to have "encyclopedity", as you put it). Instead, you make unfounded assertions such as "half of the electors are candidates" or that we'll have "several dozen" names on the list. Worse than being baseless, they don't actually provide any justification for deleting the article. -Rrius (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Just look at this, section "Papabile" CarlosPn (talk) 11:07, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Read the list. Quite interesting in a certain way. Quite long for a Wikinews piece. Not really a encyclopedic thing for Wikipedia Septimus Wilkinson (talk) 11:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course it is encyclopedic. It is an article about a topic that is notable and that is relevant just as papabili are relevant any time there is conclave. Such a list is not only of significance in the run-up to the conclave, but also from a historical perspective, giving insights into the Church as it existed at the time of a given moment in time. The fact that so many non-Europeans (forget non-Italians) is significant. The fact that multiple South American cardinals under consideration are Italian immigrants is significant. People can gather these insights, among many others, by perusing the list. Deleting it eliminates that ability entirely and to no purpose. -Rrius (talk) 12:05, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your answer did not convince me entirely. You said many thing but did not touch on my main line of reasoning. Yes it is an interesting subject as you said, but the sources are poor and as CarlosPn already pointed out it is media-speculation. This Vatican Watchers you have earlier written about are mostly nonexistent in the sources used to create this article. Secondly this Vatican Watcher label is illusive in it's nature and can easily be applied with out any restrictions or control. Even if one or two of the sources in this highly debatable subject could provide some redeeming features to it, it still would not change the main character of the subject and the torrent of suggestive and weak speculation that directs it. Septimus Wilkinson (talk) 8:14 , 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Delete, along with List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave. The reason: It's pure WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR. Look, one just can't tell which of the following is a valid statement:

The list is correct. (That means, all cardinals listed are indeed "papabile").
The list is still missing someone.
The list includes a cardinal which is not pababile.

The problem is that obviously, there is no definition for someone being papabile, and thus there are no general inclusion or exclusion criteria for this list. Therefore, it is just an subjective, arbitrary listing without any objective guidelines,. As such, it is inherently unmaintainable and violates WP:V as an article that is no verifiable. --FoxyOrange (talk) 12:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- That makes no sense. Any article can contain information that is inaccurate, be missing information, or be correct without it being manifest by reading it. So if we follow that, we should just shut the whole site down. There is also nothing at about the list that falls under WP:Crystal. The article does not assert that any one of these people will so much as receive a vote in conclave. That is just an unwarranted assumption you made. It is also not WP:OR Each name listed is verified by at least one reliable source. -Rrius (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My explanation on why I think the article should be deleted does make sense; here comes the crucial part in WP:V: All information on Wikipedia must be verifiable. It may be correct or incorrect, but there must be the possibility to check. To my knowledge, there is no way (in the sense of a procedure widely considered to be correct) to say whether a cardinal should be included in this list or not. Also, in my opinion it indeed fails WP:CRYSTAL (purely speculative, as the term papabile is missing a definition) and WP:OR (as the list has been collected by Wikipedia editors from a vast number of different sources, none of which displays a similar selection). --FoxyOrange (talk) 12:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The list is now up to 28, and with additions from the Allen series I mentioned on the talk page the list will reach the mid-thirties. I think that one problem we have here is that we're trying to apply an Italian slang term. If the article is not deleted, I think "Papabili" should just be a redirect, and the title of the article should be something like "2013 Candidates for the Papacy," and the article should make it clear that the sources state each person named has support within the Conclave.Arnold Rothstein1921 (talk) 12:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The overall quality is bad and the journalism used is mainly commentary.I've said my piece. Post Scriptum. For further elaborations I ask you to turn your attention to the book Media, Culture and Catholicism (Communication, Culture & Theology) by Paul A. Soukup, SJ associate professor of Communication Santa Clara University. Here’s his wider take on the subject:(My numbering)1.If denominational adherents receive their information via secular media, it is important for denominations to know whether the discussion evoked is legitimate according to its own determinants 2.It is not difficult to understand why religion and religious belief are so little understood by the secular public when we realize that the larger portion of individuals receive personal religious information from the secular media. So in general such coverage ¨by outsiders for outsiders. 3.The coverage of ¨mainline¨ denominations, however, is increasingly similarly misinformed and hostile.(My comment).Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The crucial problem is that Newspapers write information that is often subjective in nature (often WP:NOTSCANDAL - in the manner of how the candidate evaluations are presented in the newspapers). The problem is made even more complicated as we are dealing with a highly speculative and vague topic which is potentially flammable and used for promoting opinion building or/and political objectives WP:NOTADVOCATE, WP:NOTOPINION. Wikipedia articles on religion draw from the religions in question and their own relevant texts/documents and historical and scientific sources WP:RNPOV. If all of the mentioned requirements are not met we cannot honestly say that this article is WP:COMPREHENSIVE. The same applies to the List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave.Pgarret (talk) 22:41, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I realized that I had not supplied the most relevant part for the deletion review. I had my nose stuck in the book and read some previous contributions in the grand discussion. Here goes. Summary judgment: This articles covers a controversial, disputed idea and has not been documented in detail with reliable sources i.e WP:IRS violation. The relevant academic communities input has not been visible in any of the sources. So if proper attribution cannot be found among reliable sources of an idea's/claim's standing, it should be assumed that the idea or claim has not received consideration or acceptance WP:FRINGE. In the end we have an amorphous collection of speculation WP:CRYSTAL. Furthermore we don't have statements by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in this particular field so the only thing we have in our hand is gossip and rumors WP:NOTGOSSIP, WP:NEWSORG that generates to often a specific point-of-view and thus createsWP:UNDUE. Neutrality has definitely not been achieved in this article by carefully and critically analyzing a variety of reliable sources and by attempting to convey to the reader the information contained in them fairly, proportionately. Hence we have WP:YESPOV violation. It has to be strictly imparted that one should avoid using in a particularly disputed and vague topic (i.e. Papabile) sources that are stating opinions as facts.

Merge with Cardinal electors for the papal conclave, 2013. I think it is useful to see who's being talked about as plausible, but the article on its own is clearly speculative. So I'd suggest a compromise: Every cardinal elector is a plausible candidate, so why not just add a column to that table with links to media reports talking about potential papability? Mgruhn (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Papal conclave, 2013 (and also merge List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave with Papal conclave, 2005). Wikipedia carries articles of lists of candidates for offices of national leadership (examples here and here); the lists of papabili, although unofficial (and thus WP:CRYSTAL I'll admit, albeit a squishy form of it IMHO), are roughly analogous to them, so I think that their content is warranted. However, I think that their unofficiality should disqualify them from existing as articles in their own right. Merging the lists of papabili with the corresponding lists of cardinal electors is improper because although papabili have traditionally been cardinals, it isn't required that they be such. The only option (that I see) that satisfies what I've laid out here is to merge them into the "top-level" articles on this subject, which are the articles about the elections themselves. Having said that, those who are passionate about keeping the lists on Wikipedia should try their best to keep them from violating WP:IRS. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 03:23, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the last conclave before that was well before Wikipedia was so much as an idea. It's conceivable that someone could trawl sources from then, however, and create a List of papabili in the 1978 papal conclave. It does seem such a primary element of a papal conclave would meet WP:GNG. --BDD (talk) 06:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We aren't predicting who will be pope, we're listing those who have been described in reliable sources as "papabili". This is a matter that is often mentioned in later years (e.g. "X was considered papabile in 2005") and will remain relevant to these people's biography; it is also notable now, as shown by the number of reliable sources already cited. It would be confusing to merge with the list of voting cardinals because, although there's probably always a big overlap, these are not necessarily a subset of those.

1. Three opinions Keep, Merge, Delete 2. Merge, Delete opinions dominate 3. Merge, Delete converge on the issue of deposing of separate papabili 2013 article.4. To keep some of the material seems to be in majority. It is impossible to keep all or to move the whole column. Keeping the columns would not just work.5. What to keep? What gets prioritized? What is the qualitative standard? The obvious answer is that the material should be based on a reliable expert. Who is reliable expert? I would say a scholar in the field in question or a knownvaticanologist from previous years. The sources which don't fit the description must be scraped! A clear line must be drawn or else verything is lost. The best example of a agreeable source is the "Buzz Grows in Rome for Boston's O'Malley" article by John L. Allen, Jr. the famous vaticanologist. I still want to add my suspicion that most will not agree on cuting away 95% of the useless sources in the new merged version.

Redirect. Theoretically it should be possible to create such a list, if many reliable sources had made such lists. Then Wikipedia editors could take the consensus of the lists (by including only those who appear on nearly all lists).

It seems people have confused two separate things, namely popularity and verifiable facts. Wikipedia is not a democracy. The debated and voiced opinions do not constitute a vote. Majority voting is not the determining factor. When making your case state the argument and kindly refer to Wikipedia core policies. It is utterly pointless to try to turn this in to a shouting competition. The only questions we need to ask are: Does the article pass Wikipedia core content policies i.e. verifiability, No original research and Neutral point of view. I don't think so!

Keep, although merge could work as well. The nomination in fact suggests a merge, whic would preclude deletion. But since the information is reliably sourced and verifiable, and certainly not original research (the statements that these men a papabile are coming from the reliable sources listed), and the topic is notable (as various publications have lists of the cardinals they consider papabile, even if the lists do not completely overlap) I see no justification for deletion. That said, some editing may be needed. For example, I didn't think Francis Arinze was eligile, despite being listed by the New York Times and others. If those listings are in error, they should not be included. Rlendog (talk) 19:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
KeepInteresting, contemporary news. Maybe consider deleting after a pope is selected. Of course there is a lot of speculation; that is inherent to the subject.

Delete if there is nothing to Merge to Papal conclave, 2013 - I don't think it's an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument to point out that we don't have such lists for almost all other conclaves, though for some (like those in the 16th and 17th centuries) there would be plenty of source material with which to start them. In almost every case, such speculation is included (post election) in the article for the relevant conclave. I see no reason why it shouldn't be so in this case.

(Updated note per sensible comments from Robofish) Stalwart111 00:58, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I took a little time to think about this one, as we do have other articles on Wikipedia listing speculative candidates for positions, such as Barack Obama Supreme Court candidates and Republican Party vice presidential candidate, 2008. But there's something unique about Papal conclaves, I think (or at least this one in particular), which makes it a bad idea. Due to various factors - the facts that the election is conducted secretly among a very small number of people, who are the only ones that really know what's going on, while being of interest to the whole world - the media's speculation has ranged very widely over a large number of alleged candidates, while being based on very little. Currently the list contains 30 names, and I wouldn't be surprised if reliable sources can be found for others; even if not, that's almost a third of the total available cardinals. Simply put, such a broad list is of questionable use; it mainly just makes Wikipedia look a bit silly, and would make us look even sillier in the (quite possible) event that a Pope is chosen who wasn't on our list. Robofish (talk) 00:42, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As for the 'merge' suggestions, I note that Papal conclave, 2013 already contains a handful of names who have been especially widely mentioned, which seems much more appropriate than this list. There's no need to merge anything. Robofish (talk) 00:44, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But include a list of all candidates. This is of some value.METOKNOWONLY (talk) 02:32, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would include all 115 cardinals eligible to vote plus the two who have abstained (one sick, one withdrawal - very unlikely, but still theoretically possible) and a large number of senior clerics who are not cardinals but who could (theoretically) be elected - archbishops and the like (some reportedly received votes at various 20th century conclaves, just not enough to be elected). And that's just the people you would have to put on such a list. I'm pretty sure, technically, any ordained Catholic (someone feel free to refresh my memory of the various rules from the relevant council) would be eligible. Whether or not someone is papabile is entirely subjective. This is not a list of some or all candidates, this is a list of people that some people think might have a better chance than others of being elected. Stalwart111 03:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, any male baptised Catholic can be elected, which would be a fairly long list! Neljack (talk) 05:24, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that might have been the case but couldn't recall. But it has to be a bloke, right? So with about a billion Catholics, half of them male (give or take), this list is about 499,999,972 people short? Stalwart111 06:06, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I tend to agree that the designation "papabili" is inherently speculative. But, the list does it the right way by attributing the designation to reliable media sources, not just in the footnotes but in the table itself. More could be done to explain the inclusion criteria (i.e., making clear the fact that a single newspaper is sufficient for inclusion), but not a ground for deletion. The argument that there are no official candidates seem to miss the point; for example, a perennial candidate is not necessarily notable just because he has registered, while an un-announced candidacy may be very notable. Savidan 05:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Query - by the way, just as there are sources that suggest particular cardinals are papabile, there are others that (with equal weight and reliability) suggest particular cardinals are not. Like this source which suggests no North American cardinal should be on our list. So can I now cite WP:WEIGHT, give such a source and remove all North American cardinals from the list? Stalwart111 08:04, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Stalwart111, you brought forth a valid argument. When Benedict XVI resigned, a huge media buzz ensued over who might be the next pope. Essentially, this is why there is this long list of 30+ names of cardinals considered "papabile". But from today's point of view, most of them were only mentioned in passing, without any in-depth analysis or continued coverage. When the start of the conclave drew nearer, the general media consensus seemed to have narrowed down so that now it would be called a huge surprise if the next pope would be neither Italian nor Latin American. For example, Der Spiegel from my native Germany only identifies Scherrer and Scola as serious contenders. The Associated Press quotes French cardinal Vingt-Trois that there were only "half a dozen possible candidates". Therefore, it comes to mind that because of the fuzzy definition of the term papabile, an edit war (or at least a heated discussion) might be ahead about whether the person eventually elected pope had been papabile in the first place at all. Having this long list won't help there, either, as such a question must be elaborated in prose. And we already have a place for this. --FoxyOrange (talk) 08:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Users will have some general idea of what they are looking for and then can used this list to navigate to those Wikipedia articles that provide more details on the person listed. I revised the lead to make it more reader friendly.[5] As for the concerns about WP:V, there is agreement above that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information in the List comes from a reliable source. Regarding "sepeculation", it is not Wikipedia generating the speculation. This is a world-wide interest event and the reliable sources are going to write such articles that are of world-wide interest.

Strong keep per Savidan, Fernandosmission, Jreferee, et al. The nom gives no policies or guidelines to support its deletion, while the proponents of keeping the article cite policy and guidelines, with examples and explanations. What is a reliable source, and who should be on the list, can be verified, and who and what can be sorted out through the normal editing policy. It lists an ongoing historic event. Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources prove that the subject is notable. FWIW, I am a former Roman Catholic. Bearian (talk) 17:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - This is a very worthwhile summary of articles that have been in most every newspaper and magazine and presents valuable information in the Wikipedia format we like. Since it will be moot once the conclave is over; it should have its own page, which will be far less relevant to those reading the main Conclave page in the future. Though in the interest of making the page more informative and providing a good comparison of the papabili, it may be helpful to only use articles that talk about more than one candidate. The CNN, Business Insider, and Catholic Reporter articles are good examples, since their writers made a choice to include some Cardinals but not others. Editors must be mindful of including articles such as the ones citing Cardinal Maradiagaand Cardinal Wuerl, which do not evaluate all the papabili but just those from a particular region. (And I say this quasi-seriously, would it be helpful to put in the bookmakers' odds (e.g Paddy Power) to show what the general public think about each Cardinal's chances?)

Keep. This list is useful, very well stocked with reliable sources, and refers to a historic international event. It is not really in the same context as, say, a list of potential U.S. presidents or of people to fill other political posts (if such a thing existed). It is on such a massive scale in terms of interest and coverage that there is little with which to compare it. Also, some of these names were mentioned in 2005 so it would be fair to say that this list contains many future cardinal electors, maybe even the the next pope or two or three - it would certainly be useful for readers to have when that time comes, giving it further historic significance. I don't think it should be merged either - the cardinal electors list contains 100+ entries, while this is a much more concise and better developed list (with images included alongside entries as well) for some of the foremost individuals in the RC church. --86.40.200.32 (talk) 04:23, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

METHOD: Two categories of papabili in the merged version. THE EXPERTS, known as Vaticanists or other suitable experts. THE MEDIA, the three main news media outlets measured by biggest market share or readership!

I) EXPERTS that should be for example John L. Allen, Jr., maybe two of the most respected Italian vaticanisti Sandro Magister, also here and Andrea Tornielli

The column indicating which news organization noted which Cardinal as a candidate. which was added after due discussion on the talk page, has been taken off again. Besides just being a [edit descriptive term] solo move, removing the column removes the basis that raises the article above crystal balling -- the idea that this is about the coverage of the conclave, and not the conclave itself.

Delete Nothing but rumors about who might have been elected pope. In reality, no one other than the cardinals themselves know who was actually a legitimate candidate, making this problematic for WP:V.

Comment - (I also iVoted above). I'm thinking that, unless we can figure out a reasonable list criteria, it will be difficult for editors to know who should be added to the Wikipedia list. I looked more into the List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave to get a better idea about this topic. John L. Allen Jr. is considered an expert in this area. In 2005, he noted in the National Catholic Reporter:
"Prognostication is a notoriously hazardous business, and the trash heaps of church history are littered with the carcasses of journalists who have tried to predict the next pope. Almost no one, for example, correctly anticipated that the archbishop of Kraków, Karol Wojtyla, would emerge from the second conclave of 1978 as Pope John Paul II. In that spirit, the intent here is not to "predict" who will become the next pope, which is a futile exercise. Instead, the aim is to identify cardinals whose backgrounds, accomplishments, and personalities guarantee they will at least get a serious look as possible papal material.[6]"
Interestingly, Allen identified Bergoglio as a 2005 pope candidate (Bergoglio won the 2013 pope election) and mentioned Ratzinger several times in Allens' 2005 article,[7] but did not identify Ratzinger as a 2005 pope candidate, even though Ratzinger won the 2005 pope election. -- Jreferee (talk) 12:15, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Instead, the aim is to identify cardinals whose backgrounds, accomplishments, and personalities guarantee they will at least get a serious look as possible papal material". Well said!. This line of thought could be integrated in the merged version where we melt together the brainwork and cardinals named by Vaticanists and with the quite uniform lists of names provided by Mass media. Combine the names mentioned by people like this with a mention of the total average of papal candidates presented in the media. In the end we can see that in this instance both EXPERT and MEDIA opinions correlated or where interdependent. Everyone walked on the ice of speculation. I just think the Vaticanists took the more serious look! --JamboQueen (talk) 19:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You've both basically hit the nail on the head (in a round-about kind of way) - this is really just a POV-fork with some synthed-together sources that happen to suit that particular point of view - that in the opinion of one or two people, x person is papabile. In some cases, the sources aren't even that specific, they just say, person x might have some support or person y fits the criteria. Papabili were traditionally those seen by Vatican-watchers as having strong social/political/factional support among fellow cardinals prior to conclave, not just the random speculation of news outlets (in whatever historical form). The problem with this list remains that there are an equal number of sources that dispute the claims in the sources we do cite - that's the nature of unverified, personal and non-expert opinion. If we added people to the list on the basis of the sources we have and then removed them from the list on the basis of equally-speculative counter-conjecture from equally-reliable sources, then we'd have a list of only half-a-dozen people - which is exactly what we already have at Papal conclave, 2013#Papabili. Stalwart111 22:50, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources external to Wikipedia having POV does not make the Wikipedia list itself POV. Regarding the above quote, John L. Allen Jr.'s expert opinion shows what sources Wikipedia should use for the lists. The first limit on Wikipedia's list criterial sould be to limit the reliable sources used in the article to reliable sources that look at cardinals backgrounds, accomplishments, and personalities relative to their possible papal material rather than reliable sources that merely "predict" who will become the next pope. The second Wikipedia's list criteria should be to require multiple sources for a given entry, not just one, and there should be some sort of geographic element (e.g. sources in a few of Italy, France, United States, South America, etc. in general agreement). The point of this list is to capture a general sense of who people around the world thought had a reasonable chance of being elected pope in 2013. That is a reasonable purpose and it can be done. Maybe it cannot be done now so soon after the election, but with the passage of time scholars will evaluate the election to increase the amount and reliability of the views on the topic and Wikipedians can use that in the list article. On the other hand, we have prose at Papal_conclave,_2013#Papabili so maybe it can be done now with existing reliable sources. Since the list can go into details that a string of names at Papal_conclave,_2013#Papabili does not provide, it makes sense to have a list to present information that supplements the article's prose content. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding POV - my point was more that there are two distinct views on each papabili, broadly; electable/not electable. My concern is that we're using only those sources that make any suggestion that a person was electable and not any of the sources (many from commentators more "expert" than the ones we cite) that suggest otherwise. So in each case, we're only reporting on one side of each argument. There might be one or two sources suggesting a candidate is electable but nine or ten suggesting otherwise. Yet that person would appear in our list because the one or two sources are given undue weight against the nine or ten (in fact the latter are ignored all together). As for the substantive part of your comment - very sensible, I think. I still think such a criteria would leave us with a list of half-a-dozen or so, but if this is going to be kept we need a far better list inclusion criteria. Stalwart111 21:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, why keep it if the conclave is already finished. There are no really official papabili that's being released by the Vatican. The information given by this list-article is only the speculations or the opinions of many media and reports. It just contain their bets, this list is unofficial. This makes the article false, even Wikipedia. For an example, Luis Antonio Tagle of the Philippines was the most bet of many media commentators to be next in line after Benedict XVI but then again, it turned out that Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected as our new pope. See, it's just their opinions and mostly their bets but then again, there's no official info that's included in this list. However, if we're going to relate this in accordance of WP policies and guidelines, it doesn't violate any of it because first, it's well sourced. Changing !vote from Merge to Delete. Mediran (t • c) 01:33, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This amounts to "list of people who someone who was paid to report news thought maybe could be made Pope, without really any other inclusion criteria". It is not based on any verifiable trait, but is just turning baseless media speculation into presumed fact. It is not worth much, on does not cover a viable trait. We might as well just have a list of all the existing cardinals at the time of the conclave. Since there are some Cardinals who were not even electors included in the list, it really is not clear that there is even a strong connection between likelihood and inclusion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:56, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In general delete per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2005 papal conclave and more generally per the principal that Wikipedia is not a source for News. Papabile articles are interesting maybe during the conclave, but they are not of permanent historic value. This is especially shown by the sneaking in of more pro-Bergoglio sources after the fact, but failure to put in more-pro-other candidates sources after the fact, creating confirmation bias in the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:15, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding (extra) sources for information that were already there, and for that matter referenced is not confirmation bias. It'd only be confirmation bias if he wasn't mentioned before and we suddenly try and fit him in somehow now that he's won. KTC (talk) 08:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Card. Odilo Pedro Scherer mentioned here. Andrea Tornielli says some real curial heavyweights are pushing Brazil’s Cardinal Scherer. This is actually a papal candidacy that has been brewing for a long time — I never hear Scherer’s name being mentioned by the general Catholic public, but I have heard it mentioned by Vaticanisti for years. Took it from here

Arguments like I "feel" so and so is a notoriously difficult assessment tool and is not always agreeable with encyclopedic sentiments. What we need is a well reasoned assessment with reference to Wikipedia policies & guidelines.

So far these points have been cited as relevant :

FOR-KEEP

WP:GNG -meets criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.

FOR-DELETE

WP:CRYSTAL -Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation.

WP:OR -The term "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist

WP:V - means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Where available, academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources, such as in history, medicine, and science.

WP:COMPREHENSIVE -Wikipedia is, first and foremost, an encyclopedia, and as such, its primary goal is to be a fully comprehensive and informative reference work;

WP:FRINGE -A theory that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article

WP:NOTGOSSIP -Scandal mongering, promoting things "heard through the grapevine" or gossiping.

WP:NOTOPINION -Opinion pieces, although some topics, particularly those concerning current affairs and politics, may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes".

WP:NEWSORG -The reporting of rumors has a limited encyclopedic value, although in some instances verifiable information about rumors may be appropriate.

WP:YESPOV -Avoid stating opinions as facts

WP:RNPOV -Wikipedia articles on history and religion draw from a religion's sacred texts as well as from modern archaeological, historical, and scientific sources.

WP:WEIGHT -Neutrality requires that each article or other page in the mainspace fairly represents all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources. For example, discussion of isolated events, criticisms, or news reports about a subject may be verifiable and impartial, but still disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic. This is a concern especially in relation to recent events that may be in the news.

--Pgarret (talk) 18:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe just some nitty-gritty amendments to this list?:

KEEPERS

WP:SIGCOV: Significant coverage means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content..

WP:RS: Can be established in this article and is verifiable WP:V

DELETERS

WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE : The duration of coverage is a strong indicator of whether an event has passing or lasting significance

WP:DIVERSE: Sources that simply mirror or tend to follow other sources, or are under common control with other sources, are usually discounted.

WP:SYN :Synthesis of published material that advances a position. Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources.

WP:SYNTHESIS: If Jones did not consult the original sources, this would be contrary to the practice recommended in the Harvard Writing with Sources manual, which requires citation of the source actually consulted.

WP:LC: The list is unlimited and/or unmaintainable, The list is unencyclopaedic, i.e. it would not be expected to be included in an encyclopaedia, Determining membership of the list involves original research or synthesis of ideas.

Good luck! --JamboQueen (talk) 21:58, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all references in the articles to Jetix. Bad series of WP:FORK's that are not going to be looked up, however the article Jetix is lacking sources which these articles seem to have, no sense wasting good references when that is an issue at the Jetix article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would have to disagree; looking at the majority of the refs in each article, most of them are just rehashing the Toon Disney/Jetix--->Disney XD rebrand over and over again, or are just taken straight from network PR (the big ugly orange box in the UK/I article featuring promospeak from a Jetix executive is something which is frowned on both on common sense and basic article design concerns).

Keep and in some cases merge. They should definitely not be deleted, as they contain perfectly valid information. These were all different channels, launched at different times, with different schedules. Many had good viewing figures, meaning they were a notable part of the national television landscape at the time. That alone establishes notability. I don't care too much about the long lists of shows, but these articles have plenty of information about former names, launch dates, rebrand dates, time-sharing agreements, viewing figures, broadcast hours, broadcast licenses etcetera. As many of them were effectively rebranded as Disney XD around 2009, most would probably be better off merged with their respective version of that channel.

Delete I am a climber and would consider it very notable in my own life if I had reached the summit of Everest. However, several thousand people have done so, most quite routinely, and there is very little of substance available in reliable sources about this person, except the fact that he is an adventure guide in Costa Rica, and summitted Everest. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:49, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The subject has been reported in more than 30 newspaper articles (mostly in Costa Rica) as well as being mentioned in a couple of books. The subject may meets the BLP notability criteria, especially WP:ANYBIO which states "People are likely to be notable if they... [have] made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." One could argue that climbing Mt. Everest meets this criteria, notwithstanding the fact that more than 3000 other people have done the same. However, the article probably falls under ONEEVENT, and since it is unlikely to ever expand beyond a stub, I'm leaning toward deletion. - Mr X 00:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - yeah, the article says he is professional but he plays in a semi-professional league. Given his apparent ability and international move-on-loan, that's probably accurate but I certainly couldn't find an WP:RS to verify it. Strictly speaking, he fails WP:NFOOTY. There's a stack of passing-mention coverage of him and his involvement in various matches but it's mostly, "Rufo Sánchez also scored" and "x scored, as did Rufo Sánchez". However, "headline" photos like the one attached to this story, suggestions he "leads" the team's attack and multiple mentions in stories like this make me wonder whether he could meet WP:GNG with some work. And then there's this article that describes him as "the Spanish striking sensation" and this one that attributes the team's status as the "dark horses of the competition", in part, to his signing. All things considered, I find myself weakly in favour of keeping this - more to see if it could be improved, rather than with an assumption that can... if that makes sense.

Comment - None the of this even comes close to being significant coverage. All of these sources are routine sports journalism. All of them are match reports (the photo is incidental), except the second one, which is a routine match preview, making them insufficient for WP:GNG.

Per rationale at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duel Decks: Jace vs. Chandra. The Magic: The Gathering from-the-vault decks are simply reprints of printed cards. The articles are stubs, and have been since their release, with the only "references" being postings on MTG-related sites. This topic belongs more on the MTG Wikia rather than here. These should either be merged into one article or deleted outright. The premium-deck reprints are worse, often consisting of just a few sentences of text, most of which is trivia. As such, I am nominating the following from-the-vault or premium decks for deletion as well:

Keep. This page was created because the disambiguation page immunity was repeatedly receiving incoming links intended for the concept of reality television immunity. If this article does not exist, those links will continue to be made, but will have no target to point to, leading to the unacceptable situation of a large number of permanent disambiguation links. However, I would be fine with merging this content into Reality television, or another article covering common narrative devices like this which are used in reality television competitions. If there is a consensus against keeping this individual article, I therefore intend to merge and redirect accordingly, to prevent the accumulation of broken links and disambiguation links. bd2412 T 01:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be fine to put it in Reality television, if that article had a logical place for it, or if the article had other sections about the general rules and strategies of the genre. However as I read the article, it does not. SchreiberBike (talk) 23:12, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps an article on those general rules and strategies is what is called for. There are other features common to many reality shows, such as one-on-one contests where the two worst performers in a group task must compete, with the loser of that contest to be eliminated. bd2412 T 00:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The general rules are not notable outside of the concept of reality television. Strategies would fall mostly under WP:OR. AldezD (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whether you care for them or not, the fact is that the use of reality show rules and strategies are frequently reported in reliable sources - [13], [14], [15], [16] - and therefore no OR is needed. bd2412 T 02:44, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, the large number of incoming links, many from articles on shows not mentioned in the current article, suggests room for substantial expansion in terms of where and how immunity is used as a reality television device.

This topic should at best be included in the parent article of Reality television, with links to this article redirected there. Immunity as a gameplay element is not notable enough to warrant an entirely separate article. AldezD (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He is (or was) a prominent cancer researcher, who seems to be retired, or close to it. He became a physician in 1948, so is probably in his late 80s or 90s. Here's a brief profile.

I disagree on you. Not all schools are considered notable. Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools states:

In practice articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes. Articles on elementary/primary schools or middle schools are merged into the locality article (such as a village or town) unless they can clearly demonstrate that they can meet the notability guideline. Articles on elementary/primary and middle schools should normally be merged into the school district article or the appropriate locality article if this is not available.

This paragraph shows that a)Only High Schools and colleges are exempt from the notability guideline, and b)Elementary Schools are not, and are merged to the locality, Project 7 in this case, unless it is proven notable.

This school is not even notable, even for me, who live in Metro Manila. Can anyone here give me evidence that this school is notable? Delete or Merge to Project 7.203.215.122.1 (talk) 13:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stubify, incubate or delete per above and WP:STUB ("if a stub has little verifiable information, or if its subject has no apparent notability..."). Claims in infobox are not supported by reference. Usefulness of definition in doubt because term "Guyanese Brazilian" may be made up: referenced story instead uses "Guyanese in Brazil" and "Guyanese living in Brazil". Web search for "Guyanese Brazilian" does not indicate currency for the term (I did see "Guyanese/Brazilian"). Brazil and Guyana share a border, but you wouldn't know it from this article.

Comment (sk is no longer timely) (edit conflict) ~~Speedy keep~~ WP:SK#1 The nomination is missing a rationale for deletion, as notability is not defined by articles on Wikipedia, and articles with reliable primary sources with notability arguments need both evidence of an attempt to find secondary sources and analysis as per WP:ATD to explain why the reliable material cannot be merged and the topic redirected. In this case the nominator is an administrator, and IMO administrators should show leadership in following the WP:BEFORE guideline. In addition, less than nine hours elapsed between the creation of the article and the filing of the AfD, so the nomination appears to be premature. Further, this is not a "high priority" topic where the AfD should continue even without community preparation in the nomination. This nomination needs to be closed today, March 11. Such a closure should be with no prejudice to a speedy renomination in three to seven days by any editor. It also seems likely that a speedy closure would tend to protect the SOV/Doncram parties from criticism by ArbCom. Unscintillating (talk) 03:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to National Register of Historic Places. Many of the references appear to be published by the NPS itself, and I question whether they properly establish notability. The existence of the NRIS is bound up in that of the National Register, and treating this as a section of that article seems like the best way to describe it for the time being. For a similar case, consider Chemical Abstracts Service; we don't try to maintain separate articles on that organization and its two databases. Choess (talk) 03:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To quantify things: the article as of this writing has 9 footnotes (presumably, the "9 refs" to which Smallbones refers above). One of these (note 6) is an explanatory note with no source given. Four of them (notes 1, 2, 3, and 7) come from the National Park Service. Two of them (notes 4 and 5) describe searches that were conducted in the database, but don't discuss the database itself in any detail. Note 8 is general material about the NRHP, with brief instructions for the use of NRIS to search for properties, but not going into any detail about NRIS. Note 9 is a library-catalogue entry for NRIS. None of these meets the WP:GNG standard of significant coverage in independent sources: the significant coverage is in the NPS sources, which aren't independent; the independent sources don't provide significant coverage, either individually or in aggregate. Ammodramus (talk) 13:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: To respectfully disagree with User:RightCowLeftCoast, in refining the search provided by the ineffective Find sources so as to remove false positives, we actually can find significant coverage of this young actor, with many reliable sources speaking positively about his work: See "Brandon Ratcliff" actor (but most seems to be about his award-winning role in Me and You and Everyone We Know). And while thanking RCLC for sharing, I am not concerned about his brother-in-law or cousin or various animals also having IMDB listings, as we do not judge any actor's notability by the least of any of their works but instead by their best, and the coverage of those best as found through searches. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources that were linked in the above google search link appears mainly to be passing mentions, and the award (Chlotrudis Award) appears to be a local award and isn't the same as being nominated (or being awarded) for an Oscar or Golden Globe. If this were the case every one and media that wins a local Emmy, or awarded a Purple Heart, would be notable, which past consensus over multiple AfDs inform us that they are not.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 15:40, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"1.Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." No

"2.Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." Nope

"3.Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. Again, no.

The award he won was questionably notable award for independent film. This award is not "a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times. Nor has he made "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." even in regards to the award. Much of the coverage in the sources that can be found are trivial coverage of the subject, basically a handful of passing mentions. -Aaron Booth (talk) 04:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect for now to Me and You and Everyone We Know, the one film for which he any sort of sourcable recognition and where it is reasonable for his name to be included. While starting to eke upon WP:ENT, he has not arrived there quite yet. As for Chlotrudis Award WAX comparisons to the Academy Awards or Golden Globes... I do not wish to compare or argue BIG apples and small oranges, as the Chlotrudis is a different award by a different organization and set to recognize independent, not studio films... and it would simply be unnecessary drama to have this discussion devolve into one about how Wikipedia has not yet set any specific standard (other than WP:GNG) for determining whether an award is notable or not. Simply put, and per existing Wikipedia standards, this actor is close but not quite there yet as far as notability is concerned. Allow undeletion or recreation once it is. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)I would disagree that the subject is "close but not quite there yet", the subject is far from notable. However, I feel that redirects are far more preferable to deletions when a valid redirect target exist. It would be reasonable to redirect to Me and You and Everyone We Know, however the subject of that article, upon closer look appears to not have received significant coverage outside of reviews (which indicates notability per WP:NOTFILM). Let me explain, Roger Ebert gives the subject two paragraphs, but nothing further. No other reliable source gives the subject significant coverage as presently provided in the article; sure there are brief mentions, but outside of reviews not much else.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:08, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IF this indivdual had recognition (not simply verifiability) for something other than his role in Me and You and Everyone We Know, this would be a whole different discussion. "Far from Notable" is a subjective opinion just as is "close but not quite there yet". While he certainly does not have the notability of Justin Beeber, he certainly has more "notability" than any unknown-and-never-heard-of actor. Notability is not a matter of degrees. He either has it or he does not. Unless stopped by death or retirement, an actor's career rarely ceases... specially when he has already received peer recognition. That I think he might be slowly approaching ENT and have Wikipedia notability in the future is not an assertion that he already has. We can wait until notability is a more certain lock before allowing an article. (I like the use of color in responses as started her by the nominator) Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:31, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What matters here is whether or not he meets ENT. The point that he may at some point meet criterion is an example of WP:NYA. He received one small award for a supporting role in one independent film. Most of what can be found out there as to establish ENT and verifiability just seem to be small passing references, and very little is said aside from actor "x" is playing role "y" or a similar statement. While at some point if he continues in his career he may meet ENT, he fails all three criteria. That being said, I agree that redirecting to Me and You and Everyone We Know until he meets ENT, if that time does in fact arrive. -Aaron Booth (talk) 01:21, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As usual, record labels especially indie ones won't always receive the best coverage but I have to say this one received more than I expected. A search with "Matthew Rudzsinki" provided some results and a search with "Tribunal Records North Carolina" also provided some results in the first three pages. It seems they're best known for Killwhitneydead. Searches at Google Books only provided one brief mention of the label. Not much of an article could be built with these sources.

I'm sorry? BlOOD AND DIRT has been verified by IMDB through their strict policy of validating real film releases. It came out in 2006. It is out of print at this time and currently only available on Amazon. When it was released, it was distributed to all areas of the globe and available on store shelves. Best Buy, Walmart, Rasputins and every online music retailer sold it.

And I've provided links that show its listing on IMDB. Which you failed to mention. Any search for this DVD usually results in its IMDB listing.

Velociraptor666, the consensus at Wikipedia is that listings by retailers and an IMDB listing are not sufficient bases for an encyclopedia article. The only really relevant part of your comment is the question, "want me to provide reviews?" Yes, if you want this article kept then the best way to go about it would be to cite reviews in publications that meet the requirements outlined in our guidance on identifying reliable sources, rather than come out with all guns blazing.

Velociraptor666 (talk) 21:48, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To User:Velociraptor666: Mere existance and being sold by venders is not the same as notability. Please read WP:NF to understand what is required to show notability for film projects here on Wikipedia. We understand that it is listed at IMDB and is for sale at various retailers. That does not mean it meets notability requirements. Also, in accepting that you are the Jerry M. Allen who produced and directed this DVD, I need to point you to Wikipedia's policy and concerns about conflict of interest when a contributor writes about topics with which they have a vested interest and Wikipeia's policy toward not letting itself be used as a means to promote products. See WP:ADVERT and WP:NOTPROMOTION. As for what links might show notability, please review WP:Identifying reliable sources and WP:Citing sources and WP:ELNO. I would also urge you to take a look at WP:PRIMER to gain an understanding of what is required to write an article here. If the DVd has received coverage and commentary and analysis in what Wikipedia determines as reliable sources, then a keep may well be a result. But links to listings or sales sites or sites showing viewer opinions do not do it. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per OP. – Richard BB 22:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the criteria and Blood and Dirt not only meets, but exceeds the requirements as defined by the terms listed. You all keep adding new rules with every reply. The first statement by Drmies was that the only thing that could be found on Blood and Dirt was a blank Rotten Tomatoes page. I proved that to be false. You scoff at IMDB like it's some fan web site instead of a reference site for PREOFESSIONALS. The policy for inclusion on IMDB is a million times more complicated than this site and they require verification in advance. What this really comes down to is you people acting like your little Wiki Gods. Just because you are unfamiliar with the band and the DVD, you say it's not notable. Maybe in your worlds. To people into metal, it is very very notable. Netfix wouldn't have it in their playlist of titles if it weren't a valid title. As for me self promoting and this being a conflict of interest. More rubbish. I've made my case and I deserve to have a page. This is part of the band, Vio-lence's, discography. I wrote did the DVD to promote the band and made very little money from the DVD. I'm not making a dime from this page or benefiting from it other than providing information about the title for posterity. Isn't that what an encyclopedia does? Provide information? Does Wiki have a bias against metal music? This video has gotten rave reviews in print and web. Ugh, no not user reviews. JOURNALIST reviews. I've posted links. You chose to ignore them. Again, I've met every requirement for inclusion. Velociraptor666 (talk) 00:01, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not really around on WP at the minute but was asked for comment on this. There are a number of problems with the arguments being made for keeping the article, not least of all the fact that it seems to be almost entirely the page's creator arguing for its inclusion. An initial note on the "sources" provided; only one passes WP:RS (the Blabbermouth news report). No blogs or webzines, Netflix or IMDB can be used to establish notability, nor can the band's own website as it's obviously not third-party. I've not come across Megaforce Records before, and it's a bit unclear whether or not they're a notable label - if I get a minute, I'll try and look into it; if it is that would be some good evidence in favour of notability. However, remember that WP:MUSIC states that not every release from a notable band is necessarily notable; it needs to have its own separate notability because of WP:NOTINHERITED. What the author really could do with is some reviews in reliable, third-party, preferably print sources (or there are some reliable web sources, just not the ones cited here! Note: "reliable" refers to the policy, not what the author may believe to be "reliable"). Unless these are found, the page lacks notability on its own, and there is little to be merged. A redirect would be more appropriate. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect Blackmetalbaz, you've not heard of Megaforce records? And you're a metal head? It was only Metallica, Anthrax and million other metal legends label.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaforce_Records

Wow. Just wow. Nah. they are not a notable label. The only thing notable here is the lack of fairness. 50.136.237.90 (talk) 20:44, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in addition to Megaforce being a notable and legendary metal label...I mean it doesn't get much bigger than METALLICA, I myself, as a documentary music director, am notable. But no matter what I say or provide as far as evidence, you guys will somehow scoff at it because YOU PERSONALLY have never heard of it. What sort of encyclopedia criteria is that? Be real. Pretty soon the criteria will be "if my mom hasn't heard of it, it's not notable and doesn't exist". lol! I can provide all kinds of international print and web reviews for other works that I've produced and directed... hence forth proving "my" notability. I almost get the impression you all are just trying to break my balls here. I've provided many many links that I guarantee, you haven't looked at. Here's a few of my youtube clips. Check them out. I already know the response. "Youtube proof is not sufficient and neither are the actual print reviews you posted even though we asked for them. Face it Mr. Allen, nothing you post will satisfy us." It's getting comical now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZZ4_pq-AFk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sDJtXy3lm8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB6VO-w9LGM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Velociraptor666 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Allen, I'm beginning to think of you less as a film director and more as a professional and bad-mannered lout. We have criteria, yes: stuff has to be written about in reliable sources. Simple as that. Sorry if that's too much to ask, while you're promoting your own business here. No one here is trying to break your balls, evidence of which is also lacking: a bit of shouting on a website does not give a person balls. Your scanned articles were probably removed as copyright violations (surely you've heard of the concept) and the "bibliographic information" that I mentioned above as missing was simple stuff, like, you know, what magazine, what date, what pages--stuff that my freshman composition students would know, and the kind of stuff that an encyclopedia runs on. And now I'm done with you. If you were any smarter, you'd try to make build bridges and seek understanding and compromise, rather than piss off the very people who are most likely to help you, like Blackmetalbaz. Drmies (talk) 23:15, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment Ah, yes, that Megaforce. I was confused by the redlink on the Vio-lence page which led me to believe that it was something separate. That is a strong bit of evidence to promote your cause, and would suggest that there would be large numbers of reviews in professional print media to establish notability. I haven't actually seen you point towards any however. No-one's trying to "break your balls" here, but your internet posturing is getting a bit silly. You may or may not be a "notable" human being, but that is not what is at question here. My simple suggestion to you: provide below three in-depth (and all I mean by that is a paragraph rather than a couple of sentences) reviews of your documentary in professional print magazines and you have established notability (issue number, date and page please). And don't whinge that thrash is underground and doesn't get coverage because we all know that's not true. I'd start by looking in the likes of Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Decibel, Terrorizer or Zero Tolerance. If you can't find those reviews, your documentary is not independently notable of the band article and should be deleted. Simple really. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 16:40, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Baz, there were images posted of printed reviews--but without any bibliographic information it was impossible to figure out what they were worth, where they were published. Three such reviews would go a long way, of course: pity that the relevant information wasn't provided, and it never showed up in the Google News or Book searches I did.

Delete, subject as received mention from multiple non-primary reliable sources, however it is my opinion that those multiple mentions do not add up to equal significant coverage of the subject of this AfD.

Leaning towards delete - Google News archives provided several results in the first two pages (mostly from Mix) with the "Music Indistry News Network" talking the most about him. Some of these articles mention the artists he has worked with including a few notable ones. I have to say, he has received more attention than other mixers and mastering producers and an article could be written but there doesn't seem to be anything different than any other person in this line of work (no awards, no notable partnerships/endorsements, etc.). I was a little on the fence at first but I think it would still be a stub (not there's anything wrong with stubs). I have no prejudice towards a future article.

A.T.M JEFF

BLP article with minimal sources, if any real ones at all. I've been unable to find the subject's name in the sources listed. They remain unclear. The principle editor is using a username that is the same as the article subject. I believe this to be someone who is trying to make a name for themselves and not someone who is already notable per WP:MUSIC.

Hi

there i have seen all the messages, but i just couldn't reply to them cause i don't real know how to use the talk page. Also i have something to tell you.

1) I'm not the atm jeff guy, you guys think of, i only created this page for him cause i've check on google and he don't have one, that's why i decided to create one for him. I only seen him once at the show.

2) The reason why i used hes really name as my username, it's cause i had no other easry name to use, and that's why i decided to use (Etiennebaheza) which is hes real name so it can be easy for me to remember it.

3) the reason why i was asking if anybody could help me to fix the references, it's cause i'm new here and i don't know how to add the references, that's why i was asking. And please i do not want loose the time I spent in it, And i'm gone try and add the real References soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Etiennebaheza (talk • contribs) 13:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Editing under another person's name is forbidden. So, either you are Etienne Baheza (aka A.T.M JEFF) and you have created a vanity autobiography, or you are improperly impersonating him. In either case, you're doing something wrong. As for the references, they have been fixed. They're all bogus, but at least they're properly formatted.

so guys what should i do now?? Is it anyhow i can change the name or sign up a new account using my real name??? (atmjeff (talk) 07:01, 14 March 2013 (UTC)).[reply]

Yes, you can create another account and abandon the one using Jeff's name. And the only way you have to save this article is to find some reliable sources that actually talk about Jeff. Not just links to his video but text or video interviews that deal specifically with him. You mention above that you have "real references", so why not use them now? Dismas|^(talk) 12:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

alright that's cool. But how am i gone create another article using the same name, while this page still online. Is it any how you can delete this page first so i can be able to create another page using my name and also creating the article under the name A.T.M JEFF again. Thank you --atmjeff (talk) 03:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is no point in deleting the present article only to create a new article about the still non-notable musician. The article is not up for deletion because of the perceived conflict of interest, but because Jeff does not meet the criteria for inclusion at Wikipedia.

--atmjeff (talk) 15:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment OK, let's assess those citations:
1. http://isangi.com.bi/australia-a-t-m-jeff-lands-kili-music-awards-nominations/ : 404 error, not found. Further, http://isangi.com.bi appears to be an invalid URL.
2. A blog about G-Marl Jamal (another artist of questionable notability, presently also nominated for deletion) having a falling out with Tao Boiz (a band of questionable notability) and mentioning A.T.M Jeff as part of the dispute. Not significant.
3. A blog entry about ATM Jeff bagging three "African Australians Music Awards", even though no other website on the internet has ever heard of this award, and even AfricansTube.com only mentions the award in regard to Jeff's nomination. (Apparently, the link appears on lots of other pages, resulting in a fairly high hit count for this search term, but all linked to AfricansTube.com.)
So, all in all, I wouldn't say that we've made any progress toward finding significant coverage in reliable sources. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as there has not been any continous coverage of the event. As a random news story, it fails the notability guidelines of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT.

Keep. This article certainly needs improvement but that is not a reason for deletion. It needs work. I do not understand the rationale behind "Many apparently unsupported statements about apparently living people". The two notable Masters have their own articles that explain their work for the College. If the membership of the College is not supported by their articles (I have not checked them) they can be removed. The only other person mentioned is the Master and that detail is supported by the link to the College web page. The proposer is probably unaware that describing this College as a "hostel" will be seen by the members of the College as a rather unfortunate POV. This is a College that offers more than just a place to sleep. Colleges at the University of Sydney are important institutions. The building itself is notable and that section can be expanded. There are 4 more substantial articles on other Colleges and I do not believe there would be consensus to merge them to Accomodation at the University of Sydney, so having that article for just two colleges is not a good idea. I support keeping this article, although due to illness and travel I will not have the time to work on it. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for the same reasons I stated on this AfD.

Comment - I invite you to read WP:OTHERSTUFF.The question is not (and has never been) "are residential university colleges notable?" the question is (and has always been) "has this particular entity received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject as per the WP:GNG and WP:ORG?"

You need to remember that WP:GNG is a guideline. The actual important policies here are verifibility and neutral point of view. What the specific circumstances do (as seen at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, for instance) is it allows us to, provided at least one source proves such a subject's existence, to default to assuming sufficient reliable sources exist somewhere for such a subject, and we expect them to be available for verification somewhere - although their existence may appear in print records that are hard to find. Similarly, articles can have coverage in reliable sources yet deleted from Wikipedia anyway because they violate WP:NOT - The weather in Paris, for example, is verifiable by reliable sources, but not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Don't assume reliable source coverage is the be all and end all. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The proposer is probably unaware that describing this College as a "hostel" will be seen by the members of the College as a rather unfortunate POV. This is a College that offers more than just a place to sleep. Colleges at the University of Sydney are important institutions. The Women's College has I believe an interesting history as I recall from when I attended a conference there many years ago. It needs work, not deletion. There are 4 more substantial articles on other Colleges and I do not believe there would be consensus to merge them to Accommodation at the University of Sydney, so having that article for just two colleges is not a good idea. I support keeping this article, although due to illness and travel I will not have the time to work on it. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:NHS and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, places of tertiary education are generally assumed to be inherently notable. I assume that being the oldest Australian university, it models itself on the collegian system as seen in Oxford and Cambridge, which would have been the most obvious examples of British universities to refer to in the 1850s (source here), and hence where colleges are inherently notable in their own right.

Comment The only real claim to notability is his receipt of a CBE from the British crown, which is not an especially high honour (below a knighthood, for instance) but not the lowest honour. I had a quick look in newspaper archives and couldn't find anything about him, so I'm still no wiser as to why he got the CBE. Couldn't find him in the ODNB either.

Keep. The CBE, although not the OBE or MBE, has consistently been held to count as a "well-known and significant award or honor" under the terms of WP:BIO. Brigadier is considered to be a rank which confers notability under WP:SOLDIER (despite the nominator's incorrect claims that it does not), since although a brigadier has not been a general officer rank in Britain since the 1920s, it used to be and is in most other countries (a British brigadier is entirely equivalent in rank to a US brigadier general, for instance, even though one is a general and the other is not). He therefore qualifies for inclusion under both a guideline and another widely-accepted standard. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Like Necrothesp, I think we need to be consistent here. We get into difficulties in discussions as to why historical figures were notable and whether they deserved to be. There is sufficient prima facie evidence that he was notable at the time. --AJHingston (talk) 17:44, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. CBE is a notable award, just one rank below a knighthood, as is the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Granted, there not much material out there that I could find at this stage, but there's enough. I think he fairly obviously received his CBE in the military division for services to the British Army during the Second World War; the DSO for similar reasons. WP:SOLDIER makes special note #6 of those who have commanded troops during wartime, and it wasn't exactly a minor war. Oh and obituary in The Times indicates WP:COVERAGE.

Redirect to Pamela Geller. There's a little coverage in reliable sources: Daily Beast[25], a mention in Village Voice[26], and American Thinker probably meets WP:RS requirements[27]. But coverage tends to be about Geller as much as the book. The current article mainly cites the book's publicity material, not material published in reliable sources, so it's hardly worth saving. If someone finds more sources and expands the article on the book, I will reconsider. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Pamela Geller, the subject of this AfD has received multiple mentions from non-primary reliable sources; however, it is my opinion that the sum of those mentions do not add up to significant coverage of the subject. Therefore it does not meet notability as defined by WP:GNG. That being said, it is written by a notable author, therefore, I agree with Colapeninsula and believe the article should be redirected to the author without any merger.

Marc Bodnick

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

Delete: This article meets the criteria for neither Wikipedia:Notability nor Wikipedia:Notability (people).

From Wikipedia:Notability, there isn't Significant Coverage of this person in the media. While there are news articles about him, many of them are primarily about the companies he is involved with and not actually about him.
From Wikipedia:Notability (people), this person satisfies neither The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times. nor The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field..
One of the things included in this article is that Marc Bodnick is the brother in law of Sheryl Sandberg. From Wikipedia:Notability (people), Relationships do not confer notability..
One point the creator of the article bring up in defense of this article ([[28]]) is "For goodness sake he's got 38 mentions major and minor (per my google search) in the New York Times[1], four in the Wall Street Journal, etc." While this is true, Wikipedia:Notability (people) says that search engine statistics are invalid criteria for notable. Furthermore, as noted above, many of the articles are actually not focus on him but on the companies he works with.
Of the things that he is supposedly notable for, it is co-founding Elevation Partners. This would be better off with a redirect to that page at the very least. The rest of his accomplishments listed in the article do not seem significant. This includes: working at Blackstone, leading investment rounds at Facebook and Yelp, and becoming an executive at Quora. These are not accomplishments that are an enduring part of the VC industry or something that historians will record, they're facts about his life that, on their own or all together, do not become notable enough within the context of Wikipedia:Notability or Wikipedia:Notability (people).

Is there? Most of the articles I've found are not focused on him but the companies he is involved with. In cases such as that, he should be mentioned on the company's page rather than having a stand-alone article.Transcendence (talk) 04:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first six articles in the Google News Archives (linked above) mention him by name in the headline. That sort of significant coverage makes him worthy of a stand-alone article, in my opinion. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, a Google Books search shows much discussion of his earlier work as a political scientist analyzing Reagan administration tax policy. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:47, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any link. In any case I just did a google news search. The articles I see mention him in the headline, but when I click on those links, he's not the main focus of the article. He's more of a mention. As such, I don't think it's right to use that justification for a stand-alone article. Transcendence (talk) 04:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as article creator this is pretty much WP:SNOW. He's a prominent venture capitalist. Leading the final venture capital rounds of Yelp and Facebook before they went public is a big deal. A comprehensive understanding of the VC industry would not be complete without mentioning him (which is why I started the article, to fill a gap in Wikipedia coverage). Because he did a number of notable things with different companies throughout his career, spreading that information across multiple articles would be a poor way of organizing things, making it hard for the article's 300-500 interested monthly readers[29] to learn about him. The many major mentions entirely devoted to him and his career in major news sources and industry trade publications easily pass the criteria for general notability. - Wikidemon (talk) 07:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I object to this being under WP:SNOW. Your claim that a comprehensive understanding of the VC industry cannot be complete without this article is a complete exaggeration. He is not integral to the VC industry nor has he done anything monumental. If he did, why isn't it in the article? Founding a few companies and leading investment rounds in the context of the VC industry is not a major event. It happens quite frequently. You can't say that, in and of itself, is a reason for notability since the very purpose of the notability policies is to raise the bar for what gets into Wikipedia. If that is all he's notable for, then this really should be a redirect into the relevant articles.

You keep claiming that there are many major articles devoted entirely to him. Where are they? There are only two in the article and one of them is about him joining Quora, which is not significant or notable in terms of Wikipedia:Notability nor Wikipedia:Notability (people) (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/29/idUS115620791220110129) and the other (http://www.businessinsider.com/marc-bodnick-quora-2011-1) named four points, 1 is that his sister-in-law is the COO of Facebook which isn't a valid notable point, 2 is him saying Quora is the new TechCrunch, also not notable, 3, he has a long career, also not notable and 4, his investments in Facebook and Yelp, while laudable is not a major event in the VC industry. I have looked for such articles and have found none. You keep saying they exist, where are they? Transcendence (talk) 17:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can do without the ad hominem attacks, thank you. I also have used Google and literally haven't found anything major as you have claimed and I'm pretty sure other people, provided they delved deeper past the headline of the article, won't find much either. Transcendence (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you were misstating my arguments to try to make me look bad and I couldn't resist such an easy target. 38 New York Times references is a big deal, not because that is a google statistic (which would indeed be an invalid argument) but because there are a whole bunch of individual articles from NYT alone that you can find with google and should take a look at before declaring that you can't find any significant coverage. Indeed, of the eight sources currently in the article five are entirely about either: (1) him, or (2) a specific aspect or event in his career. That is significant coverage, even if all but one (in the Mercury News) are industry trade publications you deem to be less than stellar journalists. My statement about completeness is that a comprehensive understanding of VC would not be complete without including him, not that he is "integral to the VC industry". Those are two different things. We aim for comprehensive coverage, not hitting the highlights. Hence we have articles on In-N-Out Burger and White Castle, not just McDonald's and Burger King. - Wikidemon (talk) 19:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~I'll thank you~~ I ask you not to assume I was trying to make you look bad WP:AGF and again to refrain from making personal attacks by calling me an easy target WP:PERSONAL. I still assert that he isn't such a significant player in the VC industry such that "understanding of VC would not be complete without including him". As I keep stating, those articles are not primarily about him, they reference him. It isn't significant coverage about 'him', rather the companies he is involved with. In fact, I just did a google search (site:nytimes.com "marc bodnick") and there are only 14 articles. The first page says "about 33" hits but when you go to the second page, there really are only 14 (the rest are duplicates and are hidden) and none of them are about him, they're about the companies. In most of the articles, they're just quoting him exactly once. There's only one article where he's even mentioned more than once (it's two times). Some of them are just listing a lot of people and he's included, and one of them is him posting a comment. This goes back to my point that on the surface it seems like he has significant coverage, but there really isn't. Transcendence (talk) 20:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks are necessary but please, no flopping. The Times quotes him saying things, other sources profile him, yet others cover his career. I think you and I have had our say by this point. - Wikidemon (talk) 22:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making snide remarks. I am not flopping, rather you are being quite uncivil by repeatedly making personal statements against me rather than my arguments. Transcendence (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability out there at all. I have also nominated the label, Tribunal Records for deletion here as it doesn't appear to be notable either. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:38, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is some coverage available, after all. Allmusic has reviews of their albums [34][35][36], while Sputnikmusic has a short bio [37]. They've even had a little shine from Piero Scaruffi [38], and their name is so unique that it's not hard to find plenty more coverage online: [39][40][41][42] (some of which may or may not be reliable). Still, I think that's enough to pass WP:BAND. — sparklism ^hey! 11:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I saw some of the same sources such as the metalinjection one and concluded they were self published and unsuitable for notability. The AllMusic sources are a good find though, and I see a connection with the charmingly titled Anal Cunt. Nevertheless, without major mainstream coverage and chart placings, notability still looks borderline at best. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sock puppet of Longjohnlong

I'm sorry, WP:AGF and all, but based on the speed of that comment from previous edits I don't believe the comment was based on having taken the time to conduct a google search in Spanish on the two main tracks on the EP. Joe Arroyo gets 2,030 Google Books refs and is Colombia's best known salsa singer, it's a bit like saying a Johnny Cash EP isn't notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:23, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I did find a few sources which provide some limited commentary specific to RU Andromedae (sometimes abbreviated as RU And. in the literature): [43], [44]; the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada on several occasions published a paragraph on the star in its "Variable Star Notes" (e.g. [45], [46]). Admittedly the commentary is short and the papers are relatively elderly, but taken together, these do provide "significant commentary" per WP:NASTCRIT #3.

Delete. I am gathering that what this business is trying to do is to insert multimedia advertisements onto food service trays. Google News finds two PR website links, as well as some Cyrillic links and OCR mistakes. Arguments for notability at deletion review cited YouTube videos, "Killer Startups", and other unreliable sources. They own a patent, too. And neither "Food Service magazine" nor "Euromonitor International: Market insight: The Market for Consumer Foodservice in the USA" sound like the sort of widely read outside the trade sources that contribute to notability. Come back when these things are in actual use somewhere. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
By Wikipedia notability policy, the discovery must be independently reviewed. And QSR magazine and Digital Signage News are very credible sources. Google's goal is to insert advertising in search, so it is a business model that should not be penalized by deletion. Especially since the model changed. Cyrillic in the news shows the current heavy presence of the company in Eastern European markets since the partnership with Coby. MDEngineer (talk) 22:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Smerdis. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:55, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Can someone independently review this deletion? It seems like the editor, who originally speedily deleted the article now wants to get it erased. After reviewing hundreds of similar company articles, I do not see any advertising there, just facts. The company made several notable discoveries and these discoveries were independently reviewed by the industry magazines like the QSR magazine, where it made the cover (please see links below). MDEngineer (talk) 22:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Proof of Notability Per Wikipedia guidelines, notability depends on the presence in secondary sources (many of which were present in the original article). Here are a few links that should close the questions.

Before the company signed a contract with Coby, it was a restaurant media company and that is the most interesting part, because it was at the start of a new era in digital signage and even I would like to know the story. Here are the links that I found within 2 minutes on google (300K+ hits should probably have many more):

Most important one – a whole article in QSR Magazine (printed and online), an industry publication. Featured on the cover of the magazine [[47]]
Featured in Food Management magazine. "Tray of the future?" [[48]]
Killer Startups Review (independent, but surveyed the company) [[49]]
Fudzilla's breaking news on Mediox + Gigabyte partnership [[50]]
Press release by the Methuselah Foundation: President of Mediox, Inc donates 1% of company shares to the Methuselah foundation [[51]]

MDEngineer (talk) 22:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Quick Service and Fast Casual Restaurant does not strike me as the sort of news outlet that has the broad readership needed to turn a business into an encyclopedia subject. Your prize source doesn't even have a picture of a working model, and I think I know why. All of the stories seem to say the same thing: Here's a new business with a possibly clever idea. It's a startup, and you hired people to get the word out. This doesn't make you an encyclopedia subject. And none of those stories stray far from simply reporting the claims and hopes of the business founders, which isn't quite independent enough in my view either.

It's an intriguing idea, if only on a technical level. I'm curious to find out how you make these things stand up to a dishwasher. (They'll be used in proximity to food and drink constantly. You did plan on making them dishwasher safe, I hope.) But it isn't ready for a stand alone article in an encyclopedia yet. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 02:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Dear Smerdis of Tlön, those independent sources that reviewed the SmartTray like the QSR magazine, were also surprised. In was 2005 no iPhones and Galaxy Tabs were around. Mediox made the prototype, which operated from -20 to +100 and had inductive charging (charged in the tray stand) and filed a patent explaining some of these features [[53]]. That is why a deletion was very strange. MDEngineer (talk) 08:09, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The QSR article is tempting -- it has a lot of detail but in the end it's clearly fluff, consisting of nothing but quotes from company spokespeople fed to the writer who uncritically passed on everything Mediox wants you to know about them. This is typical of the kind of hype generated by a media-savvy startup company working to create buzz about a future product. Kudos to Mediox's marketing team. I searched the Gale (publisher) databases, Questia and HighBeam and found nothing in truly independent, high quality sources. ReferenceUSA has a brief directory listing. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:26, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In the days of the Smart Tray Mediox did not have a marketing team. It ended up as a shameful mainstream tablet maker (selling about 50K tablets and you can see many independent reviews of these), but back than it focused on reinventing the fast food industry and delivered working prototypes. It is unfortunate that at the end QSRs decided that it it too complex for them. Wikipedia has thousands of company records with much less. Cover article in QSR magazine was originated by QSR magazine. I don't think the group of editors is independent covering one editors unjustified speedy deletion and will no longer argue. There is no point. Nobody even suggested re-writing the article. MDEngineer (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you say so. QSR is lazy then. Quality journalism is expensive and not many outlets do it these days. We still don't have good sources to base a Wikipedia article on. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:00, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete although the subject has received passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, if added together it is my humble opinion that if added up they do not sum up to be significant coverage of the subject. Therefore, failing WP:GNG, WP:ORG, & WP:CORP, deletion is in order. Perhaps it is too soon for the subject to have an article; if significant coverage is created in the future, the article can be recreated with verified content. Presently the majority of the content in the article is subject to WP:BURDEN.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:03, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are only three sources cited. The first is in a language which I can't read, and the second and third are both for blogs. I really don't see how this satisfies WP:Notability (people) and given that the account/s involved with this article have created a number of articles deleted for WP:ADVERT, I think it's safe to say that this is another case of creating a fan page to advertise for certain organizations and their websites.

Keep or merge. It's a notable topic, and the list can do things categories can't, e.g. indicate where the company is defunct or has been taken over. It's on the short side for a list article, but not ridiculously short, and it could be expanded into a table with summary info, e.g. dates of founding, country it's based in, takeovers. However, there is an obvious merge target, so if the consensus is to merge I would not oppose. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:08, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Primary source references only, apparently. Company executives are not inherently notable. ~Amatulić (talk) 13:54, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Highly important positions, and they can be documented from the sources given, which are good enough for plain facts, such as that he was CEO of what the article says he was: Chief Executive Officer of ICI Pakistan. Company executives are not inherently notable, but the CEOs of major companies have generally been so regarded. This is a national subsidiary of a major international company, and i think qualifies. /For a more readable version before copyvio was removed--copyvio which can easily be rewritten -- , see [54] DGG ( talk ) 19:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was the problem that made me nominate it. He's clearly worthy of respect in his community, but worthy of note in a general encyclopedia? not by the standards of WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. – Fayenatic London 20:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As head of a branch of a major firm in a large country, and chairman of others, it's true one would expect references. I decided to repeat the nom's search. With G news-- my experience is it has to be done also using G news archive in advanced mode, run twice , once with the time period "in archive" and again with the time period "anytime" Their logic escapes me, but this seems to work.

Checking G archive, archive First, selecting "any time" gives : pakistan todaywhich just mentions him as having been on the board of the National bank, and The News a substantial story about him in his role as Chairman of Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC). Another like that would meet the GNG.

Searching again, selecting the time period "in archive" I find 16 relevant ones The First, from The Daily Times is a full interview about him. That's the second source needed for GNG. Just as supplementary material, most of the others are more about ICI than about him, but this article in the Nation shows him as the one business figure they quoted in a general article, and in theDaily Times and this one there are short article showing his appointment to President was worth an article. They also provide 3rd party sourcing for some of the bio details.

I'm glad I repeated the search, because I found more than I expected to find, & more than is usual for Pakistani businessmen. I expect the nom will now withdraw the AfD. DGG ( talk ) 00:55, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Transformative economics

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

This is one of the many articles created to promote the theories of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, in this case his Progressive Utilization Theory of economics. The problem appears to be that this is really a general phrase which the article creator co-opted in hopes of getting people to associate the idea with PROUT. The GBook searches tell the story plainly: searching for the phrase and excluding Sarkar produces numerous hits whose diversity shows that it isn't a term, while searching and explicitly including Sarkar or PROUT produces two hits: our article, and a book by Ravi Batra (a PROUT economist at SMU). We don't even get hits on other Sarkar books. Probably Sarkar's followers think his theories are transformative, but that's not a good enough justification for this article. Nobody will be surprised to learn that there aren't any secondary sources cited in the article. Mangoe (talk) 15:49, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Skitszo. Not yet notable. All relevant information has been merged over to the parent article by myself. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 04:38, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Skitszo. The references currently consist of non-notable blogs, YouTube clips, iTunes listings, and the artist's record label site. I'm not finding sufficient coverage in reliable sources elsewhere online, so redirecting this to the parent album seems reasonable. Gong show 01:07, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I tried searching for reliable sources that discussed this game, but came up short. A quick Google test doesn't bring up anything notable, aside from mainly fansites. So I think it should be deleted for not satisfying the criteria at WP:GNG and Wikipedia:Notability (video games). 十八 23:43, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Twilight Frontier. This looks awesome, but unfortunately we can't keep stuff based on awesomeness or we'd easily have at least another five million entries here on Wikipedia. Most of what I found was unusable fansites or blog mentions. This did get a few mentions in websites like Wired, but always in passing mention. There might be some foreign language sources, but this seems to have the same issue that a lot of doujin works have: since it's underground and unofficial, it tends to go unnoticed or uncommented upon by the mainstream sources for the most part.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lots of links to fansite wikis, but without any reliable third-party sourcing or in-depth coverage, this basically fails the general notability criteria at WP:GNG. --DAJF (talk) 05:31, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This strikes me as something speediable... Carrite (talk) 02:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is that something I can nominate this page for? I had the impression that it's something only mods can do.Thinkbui (talk) 02:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say this would be a keep usually on grounds of a good cheap redirect as there are other types of cheerleaders in other nations, but I must ask for a Procedual Keep as this is isn't the right venue. Should be brought up on WP:RFD instead as a redirect. Nate • (chatter) 03:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, but does that still apply when the only other "national" type of cheerleading is referred to only as Ōendan? That added to the fact that this page has a trivial history from an improper page move?Thinkbui (talk) 03:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - we have Cheerleading in the United Kingdom but that would seem to be the only nation-specific cheerleading article. Even if this were a useful redirect, wouldn't the proper title be Cheerleading in the United States? Stalwart111 06:56, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Art. created 7th March by User: Jasongloss; 8th tagged by for autobiography and notability concerns, both removed 11th March by Jasongloss. This is a BLP and virtually unsourced. Tried Google Search but found little that seemed relevant and certainly not RS. There is probably a similar type of problem with the article Philaflava.com. Another editor has inserted "citation needed" tags. Jpacobb (talk) 23:49, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The best I could find in terms of coverage in reliable sources are these passing mentions. Nothing significant, however; subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:MUSIC, or WP:ANYBIO. Gong show 01:13, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
