This young author doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines. The references are extremely thin and her publisher Paper Street Books looks like it only exists in reference to her, so quite possibly self published. Polly (Parrot) 23:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable water feature at Disneyland Paris. The text of this article has remained substantially unchanged since 2006. A cursory check doesn't find any sources that would improve the content of this article beyond the definition that already exists.

List of English-language pop songs based on Italian-language songs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Delete A list that has not expanded even once since creation nearly a year ago. Either there are not that many songs that qualify, thus making the need for a list unnecessary, or there is little interest in the topic. Meanwhile, List of English-language pop songs based on French-language songs has grown from one to about thirty songs in the same time frame. Wolfer68 (talk) 23:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, per Mandsford. There is, in fact, no deadline. Inclusion, to my understanding, is based on notability, and there is precedence for the inclusion of such of lists on Wikipedia, so that's not the question. Stubs are...stubs. Not deletion candidates.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 11:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I don't see your actual reason to keep this particular list. There may be precedence, but precedence alone does not make a list of two notable. I'm not too sure about the other list being notable either, but at least it has expanded within the past year. --Wolfer68 (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article sketchily details the sinking of a fairly large (but not notably so) Spanish fishing vessel. No one was killed, there has been no major international coverage for any reason and it has not, so far at least, resulted in any legislation or courtcases that have had an effect on Spanish fishing vessels in general. The only "notable" aspect (using the term loosely) is the involvement of CCGS Leonard J. Cowley, to which this article should be merged. Dozens of ships like this go down every year all over the world, and this is not a notable exception among them.Jackyd101 (talk) 19:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A non-notable youth footballer Matthew_hk tc 22:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: is in the first team squad, even if he has not appeared as yet. The article needs work, though. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Destro only trained with first team occasionally, and possibly play in friendlies (which is common that youth team member play). As he is born 1991 he is the absolute member of Primavera (U20) team but no source indicate he will be a member of first team in official match. Matthew_hk tc 08:44, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am the creator of the article. I hope you will help me improve the article instead of deleting it as I'm not a very good wiki editor yet. Also, I think Mourinho has indicated that Destro will be a part of the first team this season and will be given the chance in Serie A. Maxw93 (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:CRYSTAL Spiderone (talk) 17:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To me it seems stupid to delete an article that's bound to be needed in a couple of months, as Destro surely will make his competitive debut soon. But if that's the way of Wikipedia, so be it. I just hope that I'm the one who gets to make the new article then... But I hope that you decide to help me with the article instead of deleting it, I see that someone has already improved it a bit.. :) Maxw93 (talk) 19:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The first source is a fan site, so fails WP:RS. The second one is merely an interview regarding his current participation to the first team training camp in the USA (which does not necessarily mean he will actually be part of the first team). The third is a list of more than 20 players aged 16-19 the author believes to be the "future of Italian football" (needless to say it easily fails WP:V and WP:CRYSTAL), same for the fourth one (definitely not an independent party, it is an interview to a fellow Inter Primavera player). The Daily Mail link only refers to a rumor that proved out to be completely false regarding his possible move to QPR. Therefore none of these sources meet the WP:GNG. --Angelo (talk) 07:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - previous research suggests that the former Primera A is fully-pro. I'll see if there are any references which support the claim that Guzman played for Lobos. Jogurney (talk) 22:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
playerhistory.com indicated two, and Dutch wikipedia said he played in Spanish 4th division. Matthew_hk tc 22:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the two best sources for Primera A (BDFA and FEMEXFUT), and this player has no entry. I did a quick check of Lobos squads from 2005 through 2008, and they used a few goalkeepers regularly over that period, but never one named Guzmán. My guess is that the matches claimed on the article are actually for BUAP's second team, which would play at a level that is not fully-pro. Jogurney (talk) 22:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seems he played for Barcelona B, which in not in fully-pro level currently. Matthew_hk tc 22:46, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete - no evidence that this athlete has played in a fully-pro league and the article is unsourced. Jogurney (talk) 22:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I've changed my !vote, because FEMEXFUT does have a record for José Siverio Rocchi Guzmán and he played 2 matches for Puebla FC in the 2005–06 Primera A Clausura tournament (rounds 15 and 16). Since the FEMEXFUT website is all java based, I don't know how to link it, but you can find it there if you look. Seems like his first surname is Rocchi and that explains why I couldn't find the record before. Jogurney (talk) 03:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Secret cell phone

Secret cell phone (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Doesn't meet the notability guideline. MobileSnail 21:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I actually found quite a lot of sources describing a variety of reasons why people may want to keep the presence of a cell phone a secret from others, and just the mere fact that cell phone technology has enabled communication to be kept secret. Reasons are not limited to adultery as the article originally described, but also include domestic violence, secret government and military operations, and use by prisoners, among others. An article describing the concept would be perfectly fine. Searching the term "secret cell phone" does not alone reveal all the sources; other variations must be searched. Per Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms#Articles wrongly titled as neologisms guidelines, a new name may be a good idea (something to be discussed separately). Also note that article has been improved and references that were not present have been added since proposal was initiated and the above two deletes were written.

Ass of bishop

edit
Ass of bishop (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

No indication at all of notability. The only references given are to 2 web sites which gives a list of games with a little general information about each, in one case a few sentences and in the other a couple or so paragraphs. By no stretch of teh imagination can this be regarded as "significant coverage".

I have also done a Google search for "Dupa biskupa". There were many hits, and I looked at the first forty of them. Of these forty only one had any connection with a card game (apart from the English Wikipedia article which is the subject of this AfD discussion). That one was a Youtube video of people playing cards. The others were varied: several were blogs, forums etc giving childish "humour", such as this one[9]; a couple showed rock climbing: I guess "Dupa biskupa" is the name of a rock; one was a page on Polish "Nonsensopedia" which, translated into English, said "You have been banned forever for the vulgar nickname. However, you can set up another account with the correct name and edit Nonsensopedię normally"; and so it goes on.

It is clear that Dupa biskupa (bishop's ass) is a common mildly vulgar expression in Polish which is used widely when one wants to be a bit cheeky and silly. Using it as the name of a card card game is just one example of this. There is absolutely no way at all that I can describe either the sources cited in the article or what I found as "significant coverage" of anything, least of all of the card game. There is in fact so little coverage of the game that it is unclear whether it is a popular and widespread or not. However, it really doesn't matter, as either way there is no way that the coverage (both in the citations and in what I have found) can be regarded as "significant".

  • Move to Dupa Biskupa. Although I don't know Polish and there aren't many references for this game in English, the activity on the article on Polish Wikipedia seems to establish notability. However anyone who's familiar with this game would not by the Polish name and not by "ass of bishop." Just as Shogi isn't titled by the literal translation from Japanese, "general's chess," it's very obvious that "ass of bishop" is a very poor choice of title. Piddle (talk) 21:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move per Piddle. As tempting as keeping that name would be (it would be a real hit with the kids, I think), I suspect it should be considered a proper name and thus not translated. --TeaDrinker (talk) 21:37, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and the article on Polish Wikipedia cannot establish notability. If it is kept ( and I think it shouldn't be) then I agree that the title should be "Dupa Biskupa": I doubt that anyone calls it "ass of bishop". JamesBWatson (talk) 07:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Poland, can i say something? Dupa biskupa doesnt mean anything in Poland other than card game. Really. Its just a game. Nothing more. No rocks as u said or sillly and cheeky something. We dont use it in language in any other way that describe CARD GAME. Thats all. NOTHING ELSE :P Dupa biksupa = Ass of bishop in reference to Card Game :P Thank you. Polish man —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.115.121.120 (talk) 21:58, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and this game is known in Poland for yeeeeeeeaaaaarssss!

I also looked in google for it...

Well. Game exists for sure, ;) 77.115.121.120 (talk) 22:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC) (and no name translation... well.. we are changing english names of card games to polish so... polish into english also i think? :P)[reply]

  • Comment Whether or not "Dupa biskupa doesnt mean anything in Poland other than card game", almost none of the uses found on Google have anything to do with cards. However, that is really a side issue: whether or not the word has other meanings, the onus is on those wanting to keep the article to show that there is substantial coverage, which so far has not been done. My only reason for mentioning the web pages which are not about the game is to anticipate what frequently happens in AfD discussions: someone saying "Keep, because I got a lot of Google hits". I wanted to indicate that most such hits are irrelevant. (As well, of course, as number of Google hits not esatblishing notability anyway.) JamesBWatson (talk) 07:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You say "almost none"? lfmao... I think you cant speak polish right? :P Well, i personally found several pages in google describing this game, including those two references in article... :P 77.113.123.33 (talk) 11:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Dupa Biskupa. This is just a card game. The rules are simple: the objective is to get rid of your cards. Before starting, each card is assigned a function, such as making a gesture or yelling out a word. The only "rule" or common element of each game is that one card is named "dupa biskupa" (the bishop's stooge, puppet, or other wise a king that is not quite bright), the king of spades. Cards are kept face down and in turn, each player throws one on the table. The player, who responds slowest to the last card thrown on the table, takes it. It is played until someone is left with no card, or when the players get confused what the cards mean, thus leading to chaos and fun! There are at least three Youtube clips showing people playing the game with different assignments to the cards. Furthermore, it is described in English here: a card games web site that lists "rules and information about card and tile games from all parts of the world". I think the the title should not be translated. Keeping it in Polish will discourage vandalism and removal. The current text also needs to be edited.— CZmarlin (talk) 13:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • Update: pl wiki AfD ended in keep; the consensus is that it may not be a well documented in reliable sources, but it exists and is "known". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:25, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whatever the decision on Polish WP, our policy is that only subjects which are documented in reliable sources warrant an article. Whether Polish WP has a different policy or whether this decision was against policy I neither know nor care: English Wikipedia is independent of Polish Wikipedia. More useful though is the fact that the Polish discussion decided that "it may not be a well documented in reliable sources". Since they are no doubt much better able to assess Polish documentation than most English Wikipedia editors, if that was their conclusion then I seems a fair bet that the game is not well documented in reliable sources. "No indication at all of notability" were the opening words of this discussion, and, seven days later, no evidence of notability has been produced by those wishing to keep the article.

Move I created this article and tbh i agree with what you stated before. Though it will sound weird in Polish title in English wikipedia but, real meaning of game can be just mentioned in article. Ptok Bentoniczny (talk) 21:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MisterMeth. The article is not referenced by WP:RS and I can find no references establishing notability apart from his authoring 2 books and a dissertation [12].

Comment: Please see my note below about how article had major rewrite with details. Thank you.--CertSociPrac (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. According to Wikipedia deletion policy, " Once there is an objection or a deletion discussion, a page may not be proposed for deletion again..."[1] Rand Kannenberg was already proposed for deletion and there was an objection (see: 13:44, 19 April 2007 Darksun (talk | contribs) m (390 bytes) (Requesting speedy deletion (CSD a3). using TW). Again, this proposed deletion is not allowed.
  2. The subject of this article "...is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."[2] Rand Kannenberg has 72 references listed ("published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and articles should be based primarily on third-party sources").[3] Only eight of the references (item numbers 9, 10, 11, 25, 40, 41, 43, and 65) may not meet this criteria. 64 references, however, are without doubt reliable. All of the 72 references are "... attributable to a reliable, published source").[4]
  3. The subject of this article, like any other person "...is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards:... [1] has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them;... [2] has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field;... [3] is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique; and ... [4] has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of...of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.[5] Rand Kannenberg has an abundant supply of evidence that the subject meets four of the four criteria above for "any biography," "academics," and "creative professionals."
  4. Rand Kannenberg is written with a "Neutral point of view... representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources."[6] The article includes "...all significant views on each topic fairly, proportionately, and without bias."[7] "Criticism and praise of the subject ...relevant to the subject's notability...sourced to reliable secondary sources...that does not... appear to take sides...needs to be presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone"[8] and is in this article. "Praise" material (e.g., "Awards" and "Community Involvement") includes two paragraphs of text. "Criticism" material (e.g., "Controversies" and "Personal and Family") ("Personal and Family" in this article has information about the subject's addiction to drugs and alcoholism, and estrangement from his family of origin) also includes two paragraphs. All views about the subject are presented.
  5. "Verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added...has already been published by a reliable source..."[9], applies to every quotation and other material in Rand Kannenberg.
  6. Rand Kannenberg does not include any "original research or original thought...unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position....to publish your own opinions, experiences, arguments, or conclusions."[10]

Comment. Without currently having any opinion of items 2 to 6, point one in this list is not correct. There are three categories of deletion: speedy, proposed and deletion discussion (AfD). The rule cited specifically prohibits repeated proposed deletions; it does not apply here as this is a deletion discussion (AfD). I42 (talk) 21:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the points rasied by CommCorr

  1. Already answered by I42
  2. Notability is not based on the number of references an article has but whether the subject is themselves notable. Whether Kannenberg is notable is partly the matter for discussion here. But if you want to go by the references then let's have a look at them. It could be argued that the number here is an example of bombardment. Look at references 55–64 and 66–72. As far as I can tell these are just copies of Kannenberg's lecture notes and themselves are not indicative of notability and indeed are most definately not independent of the subject - having been written by the man himself (unless of course he's plagarising other's work). To take another, reference 35 is not independent as it was submitted to the Lakewood website by Kannenberg's employers, CJAS. I could go through virtually all the references given and come to pretty much the same conclusion. They are NOT independent having been written either by Kannenberg or by CJAS. Strip all these out and there is not a lot left. The whole section on community involvement says very little. It lists a whole raft of things that Kannenberg has proposed but doesn't give any idea as to the outcome. If all of these were successful then I can see some degree of notability being achieved. Are all businesses in Lakewood smoke free as a result of his proposal? I don't know because the article fails to tell me.
  3. Notable standards. Rather than say all four criteria are met, would you care to supply some specifics because I don't see any of the four at all. I thought I saw one with the line ... was awarded a "Certificate of Accomplishment" for "24 Years of Distinguished Service as a trainer, mentor and addiction professional" by the National Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) on June 20, 2008 but then found that the only reference was a contribution to the Lakewood hub by one Patricia Kannenberg. Would that be Kannenberg's wife by any chance?
  4. Neutral Point of View. I had quite a lot of difficulty with this one as the article is so poorly written that it's hard to work out what Kannenberg actually does. Eventually I worked it out. The section on criticism is almost apologetic in tone and fails entirely to show what the criticisms were raised for or by and why they are relevant to - his attitude to drugs, alcohol smoking or something else? The section of his personal life is again non independent being based entirely on admissions by Kannenberg himself. Nothing to indicate that they are true. If this article were truly written in a neutral sense then the lead section would not read as a CV for the subject
  5. Verifiable. Well yes if we accept all Kannenberg's own statements as being correct then it's all verified but that's not enough. See WP:V#SELF especially the second pargraph.
  6. WP:OR I don't think any one is claiming that this article contains original research, so any discussion is pointless.

To reiterate this article lacks the evidence to show that the subject is notable and/or the independent sources to back up that viewpoint and as such should be deleted

As an addendum, I see CommCorr has nominated this article for GA status. If I were the reviewer it would be auto fail not only for lack of notability but for it's very poor standard of writing and failure to adhere to WP:MOSBIO. NtheP (talk) 23:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep. I know about this person because my kids went to the same school where he did (but many years before to tell you how old I am). My grandchildren are literally warned by their teachers (at the same school actually) about Wikipedia. They are prohibited from ever using Wikipedia as a source in their written assignments. Now I know why. I created an account to edit the page many angry editors who obviously have an agenda now want to delete. I logged in this afternoon to see if my section about Mr. Kannenberg's personal and family problems was still there. It is. But now there's a heading about deleting the page. That wasn't my intention. I just thought the article was too positive knowing that the Internet has evidence of the edit I made. I hit "What links here" and read the pages and pages and pages of nonstop efforts from one editor in particular, and many others, from his country and elsewhere, to delete this page. As CommCorr points out, an objective editor (not the ones angry about the "war" - what I read happened a few days ago) would know that your own pages say people who work together and use the same computer system with separate user accounts are not sockpuppets. I'm just guessing they all work at the local hospital. We all use our computers during lunch or break to read e-mail at my office as well! I imagine this is common these days, right? I am asking for someone with the real authority to read the article, to read CommCorr's comments seen earlier, and without personal point of view or opinion or perspective use Wikipedia's guidelines to see that Mr. Kannenberg is notable and that the article about him meets or exceeds the other three requirements. No wonder school kids are told to stay away from here. If they only knew what happened behind the scenes. What I have been reading on all of your pages and in this review is like a soap opera. How are you given your jobs? Like I said, your boss needs to read everything to see the big picture. You should be embarrassed by what you have said, how you have said it and what you are trying to do. I'll never trust a word about another article on Wikipedia. I am going to Britannica.com, MSN.Encarta.com, or Encyclopedia.com. I searched "online encyclopedia." You are listed after them. I wonder why. I will also be sending a letter to Wikipedia as soon as I can find their address or fax or e-mail contact information. As my grandchildren say, "Get a life!" I will tell everyone I know about this so they understand what really happens on this website. You are dangerous. You have too much power. You have too much anger. That's it for now so I can file a complaint with the foundation.--WRHSFan (talk) 23:56, 11 July 2009 (UTC) — WRHSFan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • The problem with Wikipedia, WRHSFan, is that people don't read the disclaimer that's linked at the bottom of every single page you read here. We're very honest about this website. It's user-submitted content, and it's not to be trusted without checking your facts elsewhere. And we don't pretend it's anything else.

    Have fun emailing the Wikimedia Foundation, and in the meantime, we'll be deleting the page.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 00:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read WP:Notability. Article subjects need to have been covered substantially in reliable independent sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep.
  • Improved article Rand Kannenberg as recommended by “Social sciences and society” and “Culture and society” section.
  • Made numerous and substantial changes in content and format.
  • Article seemingly mostly complete without major issues.
  • Article seemingly relatively important to this project.
  • Now well written, factually accurate and verifiable, broad, neutral and stable.
  • Unable to locate any images without dispute regarding copyright status.
  • Subject is a VIP in fields of sociology, crime and addiction.
  • (But, article should have probably been deleted without major rewrite. It did not talk about why he was notable.)

  • Comment: The style has improved but still lacks relaible verifiable citations. If refs 13 & 14 are peer reviews of his work then notability may be shown but as no URLs are quoted I fear they might just be original articles by the subject. NtheP (talk) 06:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum I've looked through the references and the only ones that I can find that are fully independent are 24 & 28 which relate to book reviews to be found here [13] at page 17. NtheP (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum
Article improvements to meet keep criteria (in response to all requests above).
  1. Added "Founder and immediate past Co-chair of the Sociological practice Association Mental Health Interest Group.
  2. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Reference 42 could not be verified. Removed.
  3. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Added electronic source cited in Reference 20.
  4. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Added electronic source cited in Reference 13.
  5. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Added electronic source cited in Reference 4.
  6. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Added electronic source cited in Reference 3.
  7. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Large numbers of citations to non reliable sources." Added author, editors and page numbers of non-electronic source cited in References 1, 2 and 16.
  8. Agree with Jezhotwells. "Over-wiki-linking of common words." Removed all but ones related to subject material.
  9. Agree with NtheP. "Better written but still lacks in independent verifiable sources. E.g 13 - a url for this would be helpful as it may be independent but otherwise still relies too much on press quotes supplied by CJAS.
  10. Removed {{cleanup-rewrite}}. Article does have encyclopaedic tone and is no longer promotional in tone because "Feel free to edit beyond this point" on page. No warning not to.
  11. Removed {{cleanup-rewrite}}. Very good prose. All text from peer reviewed, refereed and juried journals. Also, does conform to the WP:MoS guidelines. Because "Feel free to edit beyond this point" on page. No warning not to.

  • Delete:
  • Google News lists a total of 8 stories mentioning him, 4 of which are about his early 90s comedy club, 2 of which are about no smoking bans, and none of which are from outside his local area.
  • Google Scholar lists no other works as citing him.
  • Google Books lists no books by others that mention him.
  • PESI HealthCare's "become an author" page makes it clear that they are not a traditional advance-paying publisher.
  • Links to shopping carts, books in print, and slideshare.com do not count as verifiable reliable sources. And that's not mentioning links to Flickr pages photocopying journal articles.
To be fair that's probably in repsonse to my point that it was a pity that what might be an independent source wasn't available on line. I'm glad it's been supplied as it was useful to have seen it but I wouldn't have suggested using the flickr url in a citation. NtheP (talk) 08:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This one needs to go away, if only for the reason that there's insufficient third-party sourcing to write an article about him. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 23:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per DoriSmith officially, and personally because of the incessant WP:SPA promotion by suspected sockpuppets/meatpuppets. -- œ™ 01:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The new version of the article is now more focussed and readable, but would still need major work - in its near frantic attempt to assert notability it is full of peacock terms and is not written from a neutral point of view - indeed neutrality is further brought into question by the removal of the criticism section which existed before. But this is irrelevant because ultimately the subject is simply not notable per Dori and others, and no amount of work on the article is going to fix that. I42 (talk) 05:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, no evidence of substantive coverage from reliable sources, despite claims of our sockpuppeteer. Nyttend (talk) 13:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gene Fallaize (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Another promotional article for Gene Fallaize, the CEO of Cupsogue Pictures (afd). Article appears to be mainly original research and lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Only references outside imdb are primary sources. No indication awards are important and the Total Film award is not for Fallaize. Only notable film Fallaize is connected with appears to have him of one of at least 38 "executive producers" with the dvd possibly listing ~989 executive producers. No indication he had a significant role in it's production. (probable coi issues involved) Duffbeerforme (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I created this article as I saw there was not a page for Gene Fallaize, yet there was a few months ago. You say there is a lack of sources, but a brief glimpse at IMDb proves his validity, and his titles are for sale on Amazon.com. Just because you at Wikipedia cannot confirm his role on 'Outlaw', does not mean he did not hold a significant role, but he has produced more than that production, and if you are seeking further clarification, look on Amazon.com at his titles which prove he is a producer with released films. I would put this on the page - and did - but it was deleted. Also, the Total Film award was issued by Icewhole.com, and was to the film, not for anyone in particular, in which case awards go to the producers for producing said film. And the other award is "not important"? What qualifies for an "important award"? Please let me know if I am being unreasonable, but it appears you have taken it upon yourself to delete all the articles I have created, when all I am trying to do is add to, and help improve Wikipedia by adding information I know to be true, which can be confirmed with trusted industry sources including the production books, and also the IMDb, which works closely with filmmakers and studios to ensure it's information is totally correct. Thank you Larrywilliams101 (talk) 21:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Larry. Have you been taking editing tips from Graham? No one has questioned the validity of Fallaize. I'm sure he exists and has been involved in the production of some films. That simple fact does not make him notable. What qualifies for an "important award"? An example of an important award is the oscars. That award has received considerable coverage from sources that are not directly connected to the oscars. Duffbeerforme (talk) 21:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Who is Graham? Where can I view the policy on what makes someone notable, as I feel deleting three of my articles is a little unfair, but if I can correct them to be in live with Wikipedia's policy, I will do so. Out of interest, are the Academy Awards ("Oscars") the only awards that Wikipedia classes as being notable enough? Thanks Larrywilliams101 (talk) 23:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Follow the blue linked word notable. That policy article tells you about notability and links to other more specific policies such as Wikipedia:Notability (people). And no oscars are not the only awards that Wikipedia classes as being notable enough, it was just one example. Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, after looking at the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions, I'm amazed at some of the notable people that have been proposed form deletion, yet some use IMDb as a reliable source, and others don't... What is the reason for this inconsistency between editors? The page I created for Fallaize has references outside of IMDb, but the IMDb itself has verified Fallaize's credits, including appearing as himself on notable TV shows, including the broadcast of the 80th Academy Awards ("The Oscars" - which he was a guest at, and which you say is a notable awards ceremony, which can only be attended by specially invited guests and those within the academy), and 'Good Morning America'. Surely anyone who has made themselves a name enough to appear on such broadcasts as themselves and after producing films that have been released and are verifiable on Amazon.com have enough to be classed as notable, no? Larrywilliams101 (talk) 00:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not a reliable source but is a usefull source. Sources that are not reliable sources can still be used to provide information but they do not help show notability. You say he appeared on 'Good Morning America' and the broadcast of the 80th Academy Awards. In what context? To what extent. Where is a source that verifies that? Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • EXTREMELY Weak Keep Though he has a small amount of notability and good sourcing, it appears he is at the beginning stages of a possible notable career. The article is over-written and needs major clean-up. Too much puffing for a small time producer. In addition, being invited to the Oscars is not notable, being nom is. BioDetective2508 (talk) 00:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"it appears he is at the beginning stages of a possible notable career" sounds to me like crystal ball reasoning. What might happen is not a good reason to keep. Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Being involved with a bunch of non-notable films doesn't make you notable. Nor does winning minor awards. Being executive producer might do it....if the movie didn't have 30+ other so-called executive producers. Fails WP:CREATIVE in my mind. BTW, IMDB is not considered a reliable source. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:46, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. No evidence that he is notable through any of the other criteria for people in the creative arts. - Whpq (talk) 16:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a Hoax? I can't find anything about him. Gordonrox24 | Talk 17:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No! Its not! I can see from someone who hasn't witnessed him in his local areas may believe it is all a lie, but i can assure you it is not! Mobizzle gave a speech the other day at the local youth centre to close and delete websites about him as he believes all they do is spread lies and corruption about him. i spent a very long time trying to convince him to let me make this page and it was only this morning he allowed me, and now for you to attempt to delete it is just unfair! I repeat what i said before on the talk page:

I think this article should be kept up because Mobizzle was a real inspiration in where i live- Moss Side and so deserves a page that everyone should be able to look at. I think everyone should be told about him because he was such an inspirational character- especially in my life. he helped me grow up into the man i am today because he had already been through a lot of bad stuff and so really knew how it felt. this helped him become closer to me and all the other kids he helped out. So please don't delete this article, it means so much to me, my family, my friends and the whole of the Moss Side community.

No sources, just not noteworthy for its own article. --Nicholas Weiner (talk) 01:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Non-notable, no secondary sources (or any sources). As an aside, it had several spelling errors which I went ahead and corrected. Renee (talk) 03:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Has no sources, no mention of the history or coining of the term. About as useful as an article on the inner workings of a Flux capacitor at this point. -- ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 04:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not even worth a mention in parallel universe. Completely unsourced, making up for lack of anything to say with namedropping ("Cosmologist Max Tegmark theorized that universes could exist...") and throwaways like "Such travel could theoretically be assisted by using wormholes." Mandsford (talk) 14:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While I can think of fictional occurrences or uses of such, they're so different that it's hard to imagine them in the same article. (Iain M. Banks' Excession, The Algebraist, maybe others; some of Greg Egan's physics stories Diaspora, Schild's Ladder, possibly others; and Charles Stross's The Atrocity Archives ... there are surely others.
  • Weak Keep Sorry for not adding citations sooner. I added a few citations. Nicholas Weiner has accused me of vandalism for some reason. It was a topic covered extensively in science fiction. Not OR just didnt have time to add citation, I felt it might be worthy of an article since it is a common theme in science fiction. Valoem talk 14:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Be nice to editors. The comments you made were clearly very passive-aggressive Mr. Weiner, and regardless of what you think the intention of the author is, it really isn't your place to jump on them like that. A more appropriate note would have been:
"Thank you for your contributions to Interuniversal travel. I wanted to inform you however, that the article has been nominated for deletion because it is a topic on the physics of science fiction, which would fit better under the novels that include that theme, rather than as an article in its own right"

  • Delete - 50% of real-world claims -- "Such travel could theoretically be assisted by using wormholes." -- uncited. Other claim, cited, is a few steps removed from topic. Article contains no other significant information. The topic term itself yields fewer than 1,600 Google hits (WP:GHITS; yes, I know), and rapidly degenerate into wiki sites and simple dictionaries.

Unsourced, unencyclopedic list which seems to breach several major elements of WP:NOT. --Jza84 |  Talk  16:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps if I turn it into something like this - Science and invention in Birmingham it will be better? Unlike that article I will of course attempt to find citations. If that is not acceptable, can you flag the Birmingham article for delete also? RodCrosby (talk) 16:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One of the problems here, guys, is that one particular administrator seems to think that an article/edit must be perfect (in his opinion), else it is his God-given right to instantly delete/flag for deletion, without going through the usual lesser stages first, e.g. [citation needed], discussion, etc., or even waiting just a few minutes to see if citations appear. He says these are "a matter of courtesy" - in other words he is not required to be courteous to other editors. With someone like that around it is very difficult to press on with developing this article or others, because you will never know the minute when entire sections/articles will just "disappear" and you will be taunted with a highly-selective self-serving "snippet" of WP:BLP or something.... Thoughts, please....RodCrosby (talk) 17:03, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thoughts? Be mindful of making no personal attacks please; I have Wikipedia's interests at heart here. Indeed it will be difficult developing an article when one doesn't cite their sources - a core principle of contributing to Wikipedia is verifiability. If you want to develop a page without sources, use a sandbox, don't publish your own research or opinions.
The problem with this list is.... even if it is sourced, it's not a balanced, neutral, encyclopedic article. It's clearly an indiscriminate list made by somebody with too much pride in a particular city. And indeed, what are "Liverpool firsts"? Was it Liverpool that made these things happen, or its people? Is it "firsts" by people from Liverpool, or people in Liverpool? What about negative firsts in Liverpool? --Jza84 |  Talk  18:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am not making personal attacks. I am making moderate personal criticisms of your actions as an admin, which is quite different, and goes with the job I would have thought. As for "pride", I suppose that's OK for Birmingham but not for Liverpool, wrt to Science and invention in Birmingham for example. I'm sure there are other examples around and about. I've already offered to change the article title to something more "encyclopedic". I note your moving of the goalposts. First it's not sourced, then even if it is sourced it's not good enough. Taking just two fields, public health and social reform, there is a remarkable and easily verified history that has impacted people throughout the UK and beyond. What if there really is an interesting and verifiable story to tell about Liverpool, and you're the only person who can't/won't see it? Where do we go from there? As for negatives, sure, Liverpool has its fair share, in common with most other places, and I have no problem with these being mentioned appropriately. In other words, unremarkable, and certainly not "innovations or inventions", which by definition require common-purpose, vision and endeavour. I also objected to your apparent "hunting" for another article I have contributed to, Crosby, Merseyside, deleting a huge chunk apparently on a whim, and justifying it on the grounds that because you are an admin you aren't required to show courtesy. This is all crazy stuff (imho) which appears designed to create resentment and hostility. You may have had a bad recent experience with another editor (and fwiw I can see your side of that argument more than his) but I hope that hasn't jaundiced your approach to your role as admin, and you now operate on a hair-trigger. If so, it might be time to take a voluntary break for a while. Sincerely. RodCrosby (talk) 19:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Having given an opinion above (which I do not change) I have given more thought to the idea of this list. Liverpool is a city in which much innovation has taken place, and it is reasonable that it should receive credit for what its people have achieved. I find the idea of "Liverpool firsts" seductive. But this is not the way to do it; and indeed I wonder if there is a realistic way. Looking at the current list, the first question is "Who says?" - the fundamental principle of Wikipedia that everything has to be verifiable, which means all the claims must be cited (Wikipedia:Verifiability). The next question is "What precisely does that mean?", which means there has to be some sort of explanation/definition/clarification. Then "What qualifies?". The list includes three world premieres of pieces of classical music - only three? There must be hundreds, if not thousands - only last year there were two world premieres of what could well become classics in the choral repertoire. And then "What are the limits of Liverpool?" - "Liverpool and its environs" is too vague. Does this include Birkenhead, etc.? A list like the present one is probably uncontrollable; and would be subject to all sorts of challenge, reversions and the like. So we may have to re-think the idea. Certainly Merseyside offers the opportunity of many more stubs (preferably articles) containing information about the "firsts". I just wonder if there could be a category into which they could be collected, say "Category:Liverpool achievements", or something like that. Does anyone know how (or if) this sort of thing has been done elsewhere? Has anyone produced a suitable title for such a category? And how could its boundaries be maintained? Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me. I have added the most significant (imho) to the main Liverpool article, grouped into broad fields, all with citations, taken mostly from outside of the Liverpool city council propaganda department! Perhaps a subsidiary article similar to the Birmingham one can be linked, with citations of course. [part of the reason we are here is because I was not really given the chance to add citations.] As for environs, etc, a broad degree of flexibility must be allowed - for instance I'm sure there would be no "Birkenhead" or "Wallasey" tunnels if Liverpool had remained an obscure fishing village... I guess if the event either happened in Liverpool or was due to activities within Liverpool, even if physically located (slightly) outside the current geographical boundary it may be worthy of inclusion. I'm not at all interested in the origins of the personalities involved [scousers' hall of fame, etc] but innovations and inventions that can be reliably traced to the city and its influence. Incidentally, I wonder why wiki calls this category "inventions, etc" - it's not a term scientists really go with. They prefer "development" I think. RodCrosby (talk) 15:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Or "innovations" maybe - which might include inventions and such matters as social development (the first medical officer of health, for example). "Developments" might cause confusion with Category:Development which does not really include what we want. I think this should be further discussed by Wikipedia:WikiProject Merseyside, so I have copied part of this into its talk page. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While my search on Google didn't show me any reliable references that I am aware of.

Delete (or userfy). Still reads like a cross between a scholarly paper (to WikiBooks, perhaps) and an advocacy piece. No significant improvement in the past month 3 weeks. In all fairness, the "orphan" property is my fault, as I removed it from the #See also sections of other articles it was spammed to, but almost all of those were at most tangentially relevant, even if this article were to be fixed. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Boil it down, make it more encyclopaedic, and incorporate into the "School violence" article, which already has a section on prevention. The person who started the "Preventing school violence" article has done a lot of work and acted in good faith, but has not perhaps fully understood the criteria for being encyclopaedic or the reasons for those criteria. It reads too much like a how-to guide and a series of opinions or assertions. But it would be too ruthless to consign his entire text to oblivion. He said the other day he was going to start over, after receiving a lot of negativity from the main recent editor of the "School violence" article. There is an ongoing dispute between those two editors both about the usefulness of the "Preventing school violence" article, and about what can be be permitted to be incorporated into the "School violence" article, over which its main recent editor exercises tight control in what might be thought a somewhat proprietorial manner. I would like to refer upwards the dispute between those two editors so that a non-involved experienced WP administrator can read through all the relevant talk pages and take a view on a constructive way forward for achieving consensus on the integration of the two articles into a single good article. Alarics (talk) 16:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfork. We already have school violence. The only possible use for a fork article under this name is as a how-to guide, which is not within the scope of Wikipedia. Friday (talk) 16:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I created this page is because there was very little about prevention about scool violence or any other kind of violence. Not only is there little about prevention one thing that got my attention was this section about arming teachers on the School shooting page. I find it somewhat ironic that this isn't being targeted for deletion but an article that focuses on preventing child abuse, bullying and promoting community organization is being targeted for deletion. To censor prevention and allow for the armed teaching arguement seems absurd. Not that I'm argueing for censorship of the armed teacher section that isn't what I ever intended what I wanted to do was to offer a more rational alternative. Also I think the name is apropiate since most people are more interested in ways to prevent these disasters than look at it as news or in some cases even entertainment. When this is used for rating boosts or entertainment it only gets worse. I'm going to put a little more work into the unofficial version which I have created pending resolution of this dispute but I find it hard to believe this is what is being targeted for deletion. If anyone is interested in what I initially intended before it was censored and rewritten it is right here: User:Zacherystaylor/preventing school violence Good day Zacherystaylor (talk) 17:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • As an aside, it's arguable that arming teachers and trusted students is a good way to minimize school violence, so it should be in this article if this article is to be maintained, while the criticism section is inappropriate unless Joseph Gutheinz is a recognized expert in the appropriate field (and we can find real-world consensus as to what the appropriate field is). However, my objections the present article are:
    1. This is intended to be a [{WP:FORK]] of school violence, and there is no reason why the relevant content shouldn't be placed there,
    2. There is very little material for which we can even find the source, much less verify whether it is reliable. Alice Miller is a self-proclaimed expert on child psychology, a related topic; none of the other authors you quote appear expert; and none of the publishers you've listed are specifically known for printing factual information (as opposed to speculation and advocacy). Most of the additional reading is too incomplete to determine whether it's reliable, and the external links seem to be advocacy sites for a specific point of view on preventing school violence (although I haven't checked all of them).
    3. Finally, if it were to be a separate article, it should be at school violence prevention. But that's a minor point, which could be dealt with if there was any content that we could add.
    However, I think I'll change my !vote to redirect, and merge anything we can use in Wikipedia to school violence or one of the related articles. But I don't think there's much there, yet. I agree with Alarics (talk · contribs) and Friday (talk · contribs), so I probably shouldn't have brought it to AfD, but I don't see any harm in deleting the article, either.
    I may monitor the school violence article so that a #Prevention section can be maintained, but (per point 2) there's little here we can use. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete reads like an advocate piece and there is little we can keep and maintain NPOV. --Cameron Scott (talk) 06:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clarify: this is a cross-cutting topic which blends with bullying or school bullying. The main school of thought at Wikipedia seems to be that changing social conditions in general is the best way to "prevent" violence. If society doesn't "make" kids bad, they won't act out. I just want to ensure that this (majority?) view does not turn into the sort of consensus that censors opposing (minority?) views. The primary alternative to the view that "society makes the criminal" is that each person is responsible for his own actions, and that parents and educators must engender this sense of responsibility. There are copious published materials explaining the latter view. --Uncle Ed (talk) 10:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a lot of concern with this being an advocacy piece if this was for a questionable cause I might agree with it but it isn't. Wikipedia is designed to provide educational material for the public for free assuming the public knows how to check sources which is explained in wikipedia about. Also the section about arming teachers seems like an advocacy piece for gun rights proponents yet no one is calling for deletion of that. The person who called for deleting this page said above "it's arguable that arming teachers and trusted students is a good way to minimize school violence, so it should be in this article if this article is to be maintained, while the criticism section is inappropriate unless Joseph Gutheinz is a recognized expert in the appropriate field (and we can find real-world consensus as to what the appropriate field is)." He has indicated his opinion about what solves the problem of school shoiotings and called into doubt the credibility of anyone who disagrees with him. The article isn't calling for anything radical like shooting down students at the last minute quite the oposite it is calling to solve the problem before it gets so bad. This may be a debate about which advocacy position wikipedia is willing to take not if it is taking an advocacy position.

Also I would like to remind people once again that I did provide sources and there are more on the library shelves that produce similar arguments if you care to look up wither the sources I cited or others. I'm trying to say this as civily as I know how but to argue that Arming school teachers is more important than trying to figure out what the causes leading upto the problem are and preventing them is foolish. These sources are more credible than the ones provided by the mass media or many political advocates, they have degrees in the subject and spend a lot of time studying the subject. The majority of the discusion about this article doesn't seem to have much discusion about the subject but instead about rules and the way they should be applied.

Once again with all the articles about school violence I don't think I'm being unreasonable asking to present some informed recomendations to prevent it. If someone with better writing skills or more information about the subject wants to improve it I wouldn't object but to call for deletion is in my opinion unreasonable. Good day Zacherystaylor (talk) 14:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"There seems to be a lot of concern with this being an advocacy piece if this was for a questionable cause I might agree with it but it isn't." We don't care if it's for a questionable cause or not, we don't have advocacy pieces. As for the armed teachers stuff - if it's wrong, fix it. --Cameron Scott (talk) 16:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do have sections about prevention. You have many things that could be interpreted as advocacy pieces or not depending on whether you want to or not. I could target the section about armed teachers as an advocacy piece just as easily as you have targeted this. I have not chosen to do so since I would consider that censorship and I believe the issue should be adressed. I tried to adress it by providing a more rational point of view which was backed up by credible sources. This is the way wikipedia about says your suposed to do it. It claims that sometimes wikipedia articles may be slanted one way until someone else provides an opposing view. My idea of "fixing it" doesn't call for deleting things that I disagree with. With all the lists of violent events and serial killers and articles on them as well I find it hard to believe that the majority wants to draw the line when someone tries to improve material about prevention. Also another thing that some people should be concerned with is that apperently there is at least one teenager who is editing these articles about violence that has said it is because he has been involved in it. Wikipedia may be atracting attention to some people who are enfatuated by this instead of opposed to it. If anythiong this should provide one more reason why there should be more about prevention. If there is a troubled teenager participating in wikipedia and he sees something about prevention he may find a place to go if on the other hand he sees advice about arming teachers he may see this as part of the problem. The section about arming teachers ignores the fact that school shooters have been suicidal and not inclined to be detered by more violence.

If some one with better writing skills tried to do a better job writing the article than me I wouldn't object but that isn't what is happening here. I have been informed that whenever someone complains about posible censorship that people asociate them with someone who is creating an article about perpetual motion machines. If wikipedians can't tell the diference between a perpetual motion machine and censorship at the request of someone who has demonstrated a strong bias in favor of arming school teachers there is something wrong here. Wikipedia will allow dozens of lists and articles about violence but they may draw the line whith an article about prevention in a discussion that spends much more time talking about rules than about the subject at hand. The only people who have claimed to have read any of the material are also the only 2 people who have asked for this page to be saved. I have no doubt that if reasonable people read the material by the sources that they would agree that they are good sources although I wouldn't expect anyone to completely agree with them. Zacherystaylor (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the ignore all rules section it allows for an exception for Wikipedia:Use common sense. It seems to me like common sence that it would be a good idea to have more about prevention. Also I didn't initialy intend for this to be a different point of view from the section on school violence. When I first write it I intended to writes a short section about preventing school shootings that offered a better sugestion than arming teachers. It seemed clear that preventing school shootings would also involve adressing other issues so I changed it. This produced a simalar article to school violence. One reason I think the name should be preserved is that it puts the emphasis on prevention. This is important since many people are fed up with just reading one article after another and little or nothing about prevention. These people would be more likely to read something if they thought the focus was to improve things. Other people may have become desensitized and in many cases may actualy look at this as entertainment. This sounds morbid but its true and that isn't the target that I think this should be aimed at. Another thing this isn't about just deleting this article but the content as well. There are objections being raised by people just because they disagree with it. These people don't seem to be checking the source or providing an explanation as to what is wrong. Wikipedia aims for neutral point of view but that can't be achieved if the most agresive people just delete things they don't like without checking the source.

One other thing I would like an opinion on as I mentioned before there is a wiki-book on how to reduce energy with a link on this page: Energy_conservation#Home_energy_consumption_averages. I don't know if that is the best way to go since it isn't long enough to justify a book but it is worth considering. If there is a book would there be any reason why there couldn't be links to it on the articles about school violence and a sumation for those that just want to take a quick look? I'm not trying to be disagreeable but there could be more improvements on prevention and the armed teachers section just doesn't seem like it should be presented as the sole neutral solution to school shootings.

WP:NOTNEWS. Very few English sources - it's apparently a media event in Finland and Russia, but not in the Anglosphere; wider significance isn't clear (sparked a "diplomatic row"... so?).

If the event caused a diplomatic incident, then perhaps it could be mentioned in Finland-Russia relations, but it is certainly not notable for a stand alone article.

Debbie Rowe

edit
Debbie Rowe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Fails notability per WP:BIO and WP:NOTINHERITED which explicity states that "a relative of a celebrity should only have their own independent article if and when it can be reliably sourced that they have done something significant and notable in their own right, and would thereby merit an independent article even if they didn't have a famous relative". I fail to see anything Debbie Rowe has done that is notable in it's own right that isn't connected to her famous ex-husband Paul75 (talk) 09:02, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - largely for the reasons given by the nomination. I was actually reviewing this myself, and my sources search to date yields nothing that isn't related simply to the fame of Michael Jackson - the quantity is not in doubt, but the quality to satisfy the non-trivial coverage required of WP:N and WP:BIO is. That said, a redirect to Michael Jackson (or an appropriate subsection of the same) would seem appropriate, since the pertinent information exists there already. Fritzpoll (talk) 09:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep What is wrong with that article? It's well referenced and informative, and the separated information is no harm for Wikipedia, especially when we speak about such an important person (Michael Jackson). Their relationship is very important for mapping of Jackson's life and the detailed information is useful for the readers. The circumstances of their common life are covered in notable media. If we delete this, we should delete half of Wikipedia. Btw, I'm not a big fan of Michael. --Vejvančický (talk) 11:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the point is that if it is an important part of Jackson's life, it should be in one of Jackson's articles, and indeed is detailed in Michael Jackson itself. The issue here isn't the existence of information, but whether she has notability of her own (since notability is WP:NOTINHERITED) sufficient to justify an entire biography on her. Fritzpoll (talk) 11:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and merge any relevant information into Michael Jackson, and probably a redirect there. The section on the second marriage seems to be the place for the information to go. It seems that nothing notable apart from the marriage has been done by the individual. -- Casmith_789 (talk) 13:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Paul75 raises an interesting point, that she has no notable "existence" outside of her relationship to Jackson and the kids, but I think Ms. Rowe is notable because of the power she has to create news. Her actions regarding the kids will be under intense media scrutiny, no matter what she does. That is power - the power to create a media frenzy at will. That kind of power IS notable. So I, for one would disagree with the statement that "notability is not inheritable." It certainly is.
Let's take Prince Harry as an example. This guys notability is exclusively inherited! But, you might say, he's a prince. So what. He's not the first or even the second in line to the throne. His title itself does not give him any powers. But his actions have the potential to create newsworthy events, to cause a media frenzy. If he goes to a costume party wearing a Nazi swastika armband, the world takes notice. My and your actions do not wake up the world - we're not notable.
By extension, Debbie Rowe's actions also have that power, and that makes her notable. So do Jackson's kids, for the very same reason.
Another example are the pages and pages of entries devoted to the people related to the death of Anna Nicole Smith. There is a page for Howard K. Smith, who has no notability outside of his relationship to her. There is a very long entry about her son, Daniel. There is an entry for Larry Birkhead. These people have no notability whatsoever outside of their relationship to Smith. But they still have entries because they were newsworthy. So is Ms. Rowe, and the kids. Jgroub (talk) 14:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument supports the notion that she has no notability outside of her realtionship with Michael Jackson, and thus fails the relevant clause of our notability guidelines for people. I feel you are muddling up the real-world and Wikipedian definitions of notability, which are not the same. Fritzpoll (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I don't feel terribly strongly about it but I do feel that it deserves to be kept. She's very much in the public eye at the moment, especially with the whole custody battle just around the corner. Tris2000 (talk) 16:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a policy or guideline that you can cite in support of retention? At the moment, people are saying that she is not notable because her "fame" such as it is, is derived from Michael Jackson, and notability is not inherited. Fritzpoll (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Notability is not inherited, and giving birth to two children allegedly fathered by a celebrity is not sufficient to justify an encyclopedia article. Absent the giving birth and the marriage, she would definitely not have an article, Appropriate to mention her in an article about Jackson, since that its the basis of any press coverage. Fails WP:BIO.
  • Strong Keep She has a notable life story which has been covered by the mainstream media. I made a comment to my wife while we were watching the (neverending) news coverage of the Jackson story that, "She is the only person in the story that we are allowed to hate." I feel that lots of people do hate her. I will not go so far as to say that this includes WP editors (whom I don't know), but hate her or not she is notable. Northwestgnome (talk) 17:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you indicate to me which part of the notability guidelines says that we can include an individual if they are hated by somebody? Also, you said to your wife that she can be hated because she was being covered as part of the Michael Jackson story - that means she was being discussed by the mainstream media only as related to Michael Jackson, and notability is not inherited. Fritzpoll (talk) 17:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. "Notability isn't inherited" is a slogan that tends to get thrown around without a second thought. She is notable only for her connection to Michael Jackson, it's true, but I find lots of independent, third party press coverage of Debbie Rowe; and these are articles about her, not MJ. Being known only for a connection to a notable person cannot always be a disqualifier, otherwise we'd have no entries like, for example, Michelle Obama. Hairhorn (talk) 17:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, well, talking about someone who holds some vaguely official position (First Lady of the United States) is admittedly getting into tricky territory because she can only hold that position through her husband. I'd contend that there are sources about Michelle doing things on her own, independently of her husband, whilst Rowe has done little of note that isn't intricately bound up with Jackson even in the sources that exist. But we'll descend into an argument about Obama if we go down this route, which won't be profitable :) Fritzpoll (talk) 17:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a better example is Michelle before the election, when she didn't hold any office (but still had a wiki page). If I were more clever I could think of a better example... Hairhorn (talk) 17:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Heh - I still think it's a dicey way to argue because of the old "other stuff exists" chestnut, because (before the election) I might have found myself able to argue for deletion on the "not inherited" line of argument as well (I don't know, I never reviewed it in the slightest). Fritzpoll (talk) 17:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The last time I complained about this being a slogan, it was used in a much more bizarre way. Hairhorn (talk) 18:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. WP:NOTINHERITED is an essay, not a policy or a guideline, and this is a good example of why it should not be policy or guideline. Rowe meets the basic requirements of WP:N by a country mile. Maybe even a country light-year. Notability may not be "inherited," but that doesn't mean that the "heir" of a notable person can't develop independent notability. Paris Hilton would have been ignored by the media if she weren't the child of notable parents, but that didn't make her non-notable. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    A better link into a guideline with the same essential meaning is WP:NRVE - the notion of non-inheritability is contained therein, and merely expounded upon in NOTINHERITED, which, as you say is simply part of an essay. Fritzpoll (talk) 19:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Obviously. Very notable public figure. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. She was non-notable before she married Jackson and her notability is based solely on the fact that she bore him children (who don't get their own articles because of lack of notability, they get a group article or redirects). That's not notable. Almost all coverage I've read about her stems from her notable husband. Becoming an oddity by marrying a notable oddity doesn't make you notable.

    • You have to focus your search using quotation marks and +/- signs. And look at those results.....from those esteemed sources like bitchpleaz.com, everyonelovesascandal.com and hollywoodbackwash.com. You also fail to take into account that the AP does a story, 100 papers publish it and you get 101 returns on it. Saying the same exact thing 101 times doesn't make you more notable. The yahoo search? Return #1: Wikipedia. Again, look at how much the numbers plunge when you remove his name from it. Without his fame, she'd be another dental hygenist you never heard of. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • The fact that Wikipedia is the #1 search result for some topic has nothing to do with its notability or non-notability either way. The #1 Yahoo! search result for "Texas" is Wikipedia. The #1 Yahoo! search result for "Bill Clinton" is Wikipedia. On the other hand, Wikipedia might also be the #1 search result for some nonsense word a junior high school student added to Wikipedia yesterday (hypothetical example -- I'm not going to bother to search for one). The question for AfD is whether the topic has sufficient coverage outside Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is weird. The article appears to be a biography of someone named "Ace Orense", but it bases everything on religious original research. Goes on about Jesus in a spaceship appearing in May 2007 to this guy and other (similar) complete bogus. The only claim to notability appears to be the aforementioned original research.

  • Keep. Bad article, and possibly a bad book, but it was noticed plenty and should be plenty notable. A Google News search delivers dozens and dozens of hits for reviews and articles from very reputable sources (Guardian, Independent, Times, Telegraph, Washington Post, LA Times...), and Google Books shows a number of books have already cited and discussed this work (one of those entries is indexed by the MLA also: Mitchell, Michael: "Escaping the Matrix: Illusions and Disillusions of Identity in Gautam Malkani's Londonstani (2006)" In (pp. 329-340) Eckstein, Lars (ed. and introd.); Korte, Barbara (ed. and introd.); Pirker, Eva Ulrike (ed. and introd.); Reinfandt, Christoph (ed. and introd.) , Multi-Ethnic Britain 2002+: New Perspectives in Literature, Film and the Arts.

    • A lot of books are reviewed by a lot of reputable sources, I do not see how having the book reviewed by sources makes it a notable book per WP:NB nableezy - 06:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, they are, and those books are notable. The very first point of WP:NB says: "The book has been the subject [1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the book itself,[3] with at least some of these works serving a general audience. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary." If you took the time to look at the sources found using that Google search you would see that this requirement is easily met--and the other naysayers should realize the same thing. To use your own words, which I can now put in the affirmative, "having the book reviewed by sources makes it a notable book per WP:NB." How would you argue that an entire chapter in an academic book published by Rodopi Publishers does not count a reliable source?

        In fact, WP:BEFORE urges you to "make a good-faith attempt to confirm that such sources aren't likely to exist." Well, they exist and I had no trouble finding them. Drmies (talk) 01:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By WP:COMPANY criteria, Telestream appears to be a non-notable software company that does not need its own encyclopedia article. References given in the article (blood drive, volunteer fire department support) in no way demonstrate notability. Company does make one well-known software title (Flip4Mac), but as far as I know, in Wikipedia, notability is not inherited.

As far as I can tell, the contributions of the article's primary editor have been directed to increasing the exposure of Telestream and its products. --Tetromino (talk) 04:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I do not understand how you can say that Telestream is not a notable company. Have you looked at some of their partners? Here is a short list of some you may know: Avid, Pinnacle, Sony, Dolby Digital, Real Networks, HP, IBM, Kodak, and Microsoft. I realize that they have one big product, which is Flip4Mac, but I believe that the other products are just as good; maybe not as well know as Flip4Mac, but still good. Please let me know why you have a problem with these pages, it can't just be because you haven't heard of the company, is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ballplyr86 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please explain how Telestream satisfies the criteria in WP:COMPANY. In particular, have a look at the "Primary criteria" section. Has Telestream (the company itself, not just Flip4Mac) received significant, non-trivial, and non-press-release coverage in national or international media? Are there books, TV specials, or scientific articles that talk about the company? As far as I can tell (I googled a bit), the answer is no. IMHO, a short article in a county newspaper about a blood drive cannot serve to establish notability. Tetromino (talk) 17:02, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll throw my hat in the ring on this discussion. Flip4Mac is and always has been a product of Telestream the company. Historically a perception existed that Flip4Mac was a company unto itself, which is untrue. In short, no Telestream = no Flip4Mac. Therefore, since it is software, and not a company, and the company that makes it has literally millions of customers and users, by definition Telestream has merit and is notable, just based on the following:

Quoting from WP:COMPANY:

Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice." It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance." Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."

So, according to this entry, entertainment is a valid area of notability and size should have no bearing. Therefore, on this basis alone, the Telestream article should stand.

From MacWorldNews

It took Telestream six years after its founding in 1998 to cook up an Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) application, but some 15 million Mac owners are glad it did.

But we will go farther and post references from secondary sources that support notability for Telestream, especially our industry firsts for product development in video capture and transcoding. Please hold our pages out of Speedy Delete mode. This will give us enough time to show how Telestream and it's products are notable and will hold their own, using the primary criteria as a guide.

Mcwikits makes the point that I wanted to make. I and millions of people who use Telestream's products (including Flip4Mac) on an everyday basis would say that it is notable. I understand not wanting to allow random, unknown companies and software to be able to advertise or whatever on Wikipedia, but I believe that we have a strong case to keep these pages, and we are not alone.

"There seems to be a strong case for Telestream to be kept."

I've been watching this article for a while after tagging for notability and as unsourced BLP, but my tags keep getting removed without addressing any concerns. I've searched a bit to find any resources to back up the tall claims within the article, but nothing at all. There's one trivial mention in the Indian Express and that's all in reliable source news coverage. There's mention in a local Indian journal in LA, caption on photo, so nothing significant, and the two pieces on the website in the external links section aren't exactly newspieces, but event stories.

  • Comment (and response to DGG). My focus on searches has been the honors and accomplishments within the article:
1 - NRI Gold medal award by the British High Commission. If I use the search string as a whole or in piecemeal, the only hit is this particular article; British HC events are generally covered by the media in India.
2 - Bhai Saheb title is conferred by the Jathedar of the Akal Takht and can be a bit difficult to track, however, a search on Gbooks and Gnews shows that many others were conferred the honorific.
3 - Knighthood - the only hits I get are Wikipedia and mirrors including this Boston Univ Theology page
4 - Congressional recognition from Rep Berkley/Sen Reid - these are likely letters of commendation from individuals, so no coverage on Gnews and nothing on the Congressional pages of either of them.

In addition, as far as general notability for a living person, there's one reference in Indian Express which quotes him in a large article, that's all I've been able to find. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 03:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Jedi Prince. There is a strong consensus among the uninvolved editors in this discussion that this character has insufficient notability to warrant an independent article; and should be redirected accordingly. I have left the edit history intact to allow a selective merge of content; but that fact should not be taken as a license to revert the redirect again without gaining consensus to do so - the redirect will be protected if it becomes necessary. ~ mazca talk 17:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary and original research for a marginally significant character. No sources independent from the franchise/licensee indicate any notability. Teeny blurb of marginal interest ("greatest moment" thing) can be sufficiently covered in List of Star Wars characters, which is appropriate target for Trioculus to redirect to -- but the topic itself fails WP:GNG, the content failing WP:OR and WP:PLOT. --EEMIV (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just realized the article is a blatant copyrig violation from Wookieepedia. I've restored the earlier redirect. --EEMIV (talk) 10:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've forgotten the templates to smack down to close an AfD -- which seems appropriate here, since there's no earlier non-copyvio article history subject to discussion. If someone can go ahead and close this... --EEMIV (talk) 12:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted the redirect, which inadvertently conceals the AfD notice. Frankly, getting this article removed, rather than having the blatant copyvio exist in the background (and beneath the redirect), seems a far better avenue of pursuit, to my reckoning. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 16:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:CP. When a copyvio exists, the preferred course (when available) is to revert to a previous non-copyvio version. I've *again* restoring the redirect. Since my earlier post asking for someone to apply to AfD closure templates apparently wasn't clear enough: consider this a withdrawal of the AfD nom, since AfD isn't necessary. --EEMIV (talk) 17:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm withdrawing the nom here and putting it up for CSD. --EEMIV (talk) 17:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've removed the speedy, as wookiepedia is creative commons licence thingy. I've added the attribution. I think it would be best to let this AfD run. That said, if I've misunderstood the copyvio/licensing from wikia, then it's speedy deletable. GedUK  19:03, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The character on this article is notable and should be kept. He is as notable as Jacen Solo or Thrawn just some peple don't see this as seeing they have very biased views which shouldn't come into Wikipedia. Plus characters on here like Jacen Solo isn't very notable so I don't know why that's up. Plus if there is anything wrong on the article, I'm sure any one can help to fix it. --Victory93 (talk) 22:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this character from my opinion is notable. He is somehow what shaped the Star Wars universe to which was the birth of the Imperial Warlords. The only reason why people (not including authors or any official Star Wars people) say he's not notable due to the series not having much popularity like the Thrawn series and all those. So yes, this article should stay and as I can see is bit too long so someone could clearly help to fix the article. --Trioculus1 (talk) 06:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC) — Trioculus1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Redirect to Jedi Prince; seems an obvious choice. Is a deletion discussion really necessary? Powers T 13:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Um no. This character is a major character in the Star Wars universe. From what I've seen reading the Jedi Prince series, he's as major as like Issard and Thrawn but strange that there isn't an article about Issard. Plus if were to be redirect (which I hope not) should redirect to the T section on the Star Wars character list page. --Trioculus1 (talk) 23:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, he's not. Unlike Thrawn, his impact on subsequent stories has been virtually nil, to the point where retcons were necessary just to keep him part of the EU. And it's not strange that Issard doesn't have an article, because only the most notable Star Wars characters have articles. Thrawn has an entire trilogy named after him, the events of which have repercussions throughout the EU. Issard is a step down, and Trioculus is even farther below her. As for the redirect target, since he really only appeared in the one series, the article on that series seems the most appropriate redirect. Regardless, my point stands that deletion is wholly unnecessary because there will need to be a redirect of some sort. Powers T 02:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject isn't notable, and largely copied from other sources. The particulars of the article and the subsequent defenses of it by brand new SPA's stink to high heaven. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • merge as usual. Agreed that he isn't nearly notable enough for an individual article. But he's still worth a mention--how long or short I leave to other people.. None of the arguments for deletion explain why there should not be even that. DGG (talk) 02:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, I've no problem with that, save for the vestigial information that in essence a cut-n-paste copyvio. We could simply delete all the contents, remove the edit history, and then redirect it, but that seems like a lot more work than deleting the article and subsequently creating a simple redirect. My concern is the copyvio being presented by an accused sockpuppet set. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • If it is a copyvio, then it should be speedily deleted and a redirect can be created in its place. Powers T 17:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Thanks All for your comments and concerns on this page. I'm keen to make appropriate changes so that information on Oxley Gin can be published. Oxley is a gin, a new product and therefore new brand which is now available to buy in small quantities in the UK and the US.
    We have published a press release, which states similar things as i have added to the wikipedia text in debate, but this is all correct.
    Recipe 38 is the recipe of the gin, this section of the text was intended to provide more information on the make up of the gin and how it is produced.
    Being a new product, there are very few other online references to it, other than links to purchase in and some press coverage we have got. I'd appreciate your comments on what else can i add or change to improve the text. Thanks Tomjefferies —Preceding undated comment added 17:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

This pianist may become notable in the future.

I guess when you compare articles to Claw Boys Claw and the articles on their albums you're starting with the lowest conceivable standard for notability.

There are numerous books and magazines which delve into the history of video games, and what they uncover is what the focus should be on.

Prod was added and removed by same editor because I was working on article. It looked promising when I first googled the name of the product with over 1600 hits. After going through the list I ended up with one non-self published link. Even this one which i first thought was a review is just a reiteration of the software info and a place to add reviews. The rest of the hits are for a software company in Finland. Can not find anything to say that this product is notable. A new name 2008 (talk) 15:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He runs investment funds totaling $80 million (in 2001) according to BusinessWeek. God knows what they're worth now, but even the 2001 sum doesn't seem like a lot. Ghits few and rather generic. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Fails the relevant notability guidelines due to a lack of substantial coverage. ~ mazca talk 17:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lacks third party coverage [32]. LibStar (talk) 04:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Simply searching for "hero card" gives a lot of irrelevant results, and searching only for "herocard" gives too few. The solution for a lack of sources is adding them, not deleting the article. For example:

San Jose Mercury News (behind paywall, but it's still coverage)

The Deseret News (paywall again)

  • Weak keep and rewrite. The article feels promotional in its nature, so I don't quite consider it viable in its current state - ergo the rewrite. The paywall coverage is a start, but it's not really free - ergo the weak. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 05:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
