Subject of the article fails WP:GNG. He is just doing his job. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 23:41, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete This person fails WP:GNG by a mile. Eat me, I'm a red bean (talk · contribs) 01:54, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Fails to pass WP:BIO. No significant coverage (if any at all) in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Several sources are provided but they don't even mention the subject (many are Wikipedia articles), plus some of the internal links inexplicably advertise companies, which is contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia. Dontreader (talk) 03:58, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Apart from accusing Charlie Sheen of paying for sex with her, this person is entirely non-notable. Even if we consider that event to be worthy of note on itself, this still feels ONEEVENTlike. Spartaz Humbug! 20:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Not the greatest example of a notable person, but "significant" coverage in reliable sources is always subjective, so I don't see how the article can be deleted. The coverage in the newspaper The Age is huge, as pointed above [5]. Also, after her death, she was the subject of an episode of a TV show called A Current Affair entitled "The sudden death of adult film star Chloe Jones" [6] confirmed by UPI [7]. In fact, that UPI source might be useful for the article. Plus the articles purely related to the Charlie Sheen scandal. Dontreader (talk) 03:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Entirely non-notable, this is an encyclopedia not a gossip magazine nor a porn guide. MachoCarioca (talk) 22:44, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- If she's "entirely non-notable" then why was she featured in the newspaper The Age and on an episode of A Current Affair? Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine nor a porn guide but the subject seems to pass WP:GNG. I quote:
- "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list."
- And keep in mind that many articles that were written about her in reliable sources are now surely dead links. I found several cases while doing the AfD research. Dontreader (talk) 23:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect to List of Penthouse Pets. Given the thoroughly whitewashed, deliberately misleading caliber of the AVN story, it's hard to say Jones was "well-covered" by industry sources. And that's reflected in the article, which attributes her death to "liver failure[3] caused by Vicodin use", although the cited source actually says "liver failure inflicted by an addiction to Vicodin and a lifetime of heavy drug and alcohol abuse". An accurate bio would be horrific and serve to do little beyond inflict pain on her family and her children. The sanitized piece of shit that we've let masquerade as her biography is worse than nothing. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 00:55, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per Dontreader's rationale. Nymf (talk) 06:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per the sources found and the deletion rationales "The sanitized piece of shit" and "encyclopedia not a gossip magazine nor a porn guide" are hardly guidelines and which portray a hint of WP:IDONTLIKEIT and are hardly convincing. GuzzyG (talk) 03:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

This scholar does not seem to pass WP:SCHOLAR based on what is written in the article. Also, the article has no independent reliable sources. Instead, it looks very much like the information on this page, which is the place where he works. I performed Google searches for significant coverage in reliable sources but I was unsuccessful, so I don't think the article passes WP:BIO either. Even if we could find reliable sources to support all of the claims that are made in the article, I think it would still fail to pass WP:SCHOLAR and WP:BIO.

- Comment I agree, and that link seems to be to an article, not a book, so there's no evidence that the subject's work has ever been cited in a book. Dontreader (talk) 05:34, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete - If "Theatrical Plays" were listed as an article subject that could be tagged for A7, this article would easily qualify. I found no sources to establish notability for this play, and the article content clearly shows that it's simply a play that was performed at one university. Definitely not notable for an article. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 22:54, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete per above. I also cannot find anything to show that this play is notable. If there were some coverage out there I might have supported a merge to the series' page, but this play seems to have solidly flown under the radar, given that it was only performed four times at one college.

- @Samuel J. Howard: Using an objective measure of "excellence", in 2015 Forbes rates Whitter College as #331 Overall, #240 in Private Colleges, and #64 in the West. Forbes rated 650 colleges and universities, #331 places Whitter below 50%, near the top of the bottom half. That does not sound like the kind of excellence the guideline is talking about. That is down from #215 in 2010 here. Excellent schools include Pomona College, a direct competitor with Whitter, at #1. See the top one hundred here. That does not mean that one cannot get a good education at Whitter College, it just means that it does not meet the bright-line rule of WP:NACADEMICS. --Bejnar (talk) 19:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- US News and World Report on the other hand, says "[Whittier] is selective..."[8]. They rank the school as 124 among National Liberal Arts Colleges. Washington Monthly ranks Whittier at 74.[9] Both rankings substantially better than Forbes's rankings. Given the subjectivity of college rankings, one can hardly call any use of them a bright-line test. From Peterson's guide to colleges we read:"Whittier has earned a reputation for providing a high-quality liberal arts education. The Princeton Review recently named Whittier as one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education, and it included Whittier in the 2015 edition of 'The Best 379 Colleges.' Whittier is also among 200 schools listed in "Colleges of Distinction," a national college guidebook that showcases colleges who have engaged students, great teaching, a vibrant community, and successful outcomes."[10]. Finally, ironically, this list of "overrated" colleges testifies to the fact that Whittier has an excellent reputation[11], a necessary condition of being overrated.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 19:30, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- 124 among National Liberal Arts Colleges is again in the lower 50%. And maybe you are unclear as to what "overrated" means. You do not have to have a good reputation to be overrated. It just means that you are not as good as you are being rated, which in this case is not that good even at #74 in the Washington Monthly. Whitter College is just not a major institution of higher education and research. --Bejnar (talk) 17:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - Setting aside whether this subject meets the SNG for Academics, or whether Whittier is big or little, this strikes me as a GNG pass for a recognized national expert in "Baseball Studies." HERE is an interview with Price, the Co-Director of Whittier's Institute of Baseball Studies, on MLB.com, the website of professional baseball. And HERE is the website of the University of Chicago on Price and his quest to sing the national anthem at every MLB park. And THIS from the website of the AARP, on the same topic. THIS is Price being cited as an expert by Time magazine back in 2007. HERE we have the official website of Minor League Baseball on Price's singing the national anthem 100 times in a summer.

- comment — The nominator says that the article covers Linux CPU flags, but those flags are well known hardware instruction sets for x86 microprocessors, and aren't related to GNU/Linux, or any particular operating systems.

Therefore the content of the page is correct, that is why I'm sceptic about your claims: you are suggesting that the page content is unrelated to its title, and even more to libvirt (but that page is not about libvirt itself) which is not true.

The result was keep. I have to say that I agree with 009o9 that the article would be better renamed to something like First U.S. Ebola patient or similar. This is supported by WP:1E which states Editors are advised to be cognizant of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people. In other words, the article is not truly a biography covering the whole life of the subject, but is only concerned with this one issue. However, I am not declaring that a consensus in this close as there were insufficient other participants supporting the idea of a name change. On the other hand, nobody positively opposed the suggestion (with the possible exception of Alaynestone whose comment in that regard is unclear to me) so there is no barrier to an editor being bold and making that change outside of this AfD.

The Ebola virus epidemic that followed his arrival in the US was quickly suppressed, and most of the 'keeps' in the previous delete discussion [13] were based on WP:CRYSTALBALL predictions that never came to pass.

- Keep per previous AfD, this guy is notable alright, he was a toxic migrant, most likely motivated to travel to the US for better healthcare after handling an infected victim, and he lied to medical staff about being exposed to the virus. I also recall that the CDC departed from stated geographical containment procedures by keeping travel open and despite having billions in the CDC budget they dropped the ball in preparing first responders. I don't recall how much of the information I read was RS, but this and the main article should be revisited with a keen eye for exposing policy failures. 009o9 (talk) 04:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- @009o9: The goal is not to remove the information; the problem is that he isn't notable and worthy of his own article. Rather, he is a part of the Ebola virus cases in the United States, and the article there contains all of the relevant information about him. It isn't like the information is just going to go away; it is that he isn't a notable person, he's just someone who was connected to a notable event. See also WP:BLP1E. Titanium Dragon (talk) 18:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ebola virus cases in the United States. WP:BLP1E doesn't strictly apply (and I'm not willing to stretch the "recently deceased" clause to cover this article), but the principle behind the policy is still apt: individuals who are merely a small part of a larger story with no further biographical context are better treated in the context of that story.

- Delete No long-term notability. Notable for getting sick in the midst of a popular press panic. Comments by User:009o9 blatantly racist comments and WP:POVPUSHING should be included as grounds for deletion. Referring to someone as a "toxic migrant" is totally unacceptable. On another note, why would someone travel to the US for healthcare when the US healthcare system is one of the most expensive in the world? Arguing a keep on the basis that it serves the political interests of someone is astounding. AusLondonder (talk) 02:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- @AusLondonder When you say "blatantly racist," what "race" are you referring to? As far as I'm concerned, migration/immigration is a policy issue plain and simple. He did not just get sick, he was living with someone who died from Ebola four days before he left Liberia, and lied about that contact (carrying her to the ambulance) during his screening. Duncan also had relatives throughout the US, but prior to the outbreak had never visited any of them and only made those plans two weeks before he arrived.[14] Do you realize how expensive that kind of air travel is? As for the cost of the US healthcare system, the point is irrelevant, emergency rooms must accept everyone, regardless of nationality and ability to pay. Duncan was patient zero in the United States and exposed massive failures in immigration and medical policy. 009o9 (talk) 04:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- I think your comment were crass and not relevant to the debate. I fail to understand how being a "toxic migrant" would make someone notable in any case. AusLondonder (talk) 05:39, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment This was just posted by The Washington Post, one minute ago.[15] Besides the previous AfD failure,[16], the article, Ebola virus cases in the United States is WP:TOOBIG at 118kb and much of the Duncan content should be offloaded here. The "Ebola virus" article is obviously going to continue to grow. As for the WP:BLP1E argument, the Duncan article passes item #3, the John Hinckley, Jr example. 009o9 (talk) 05:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- That article says that the hospital was unprepared for an ebola patient. What does that have to do with Duncan, except that Duncan was unlucky enough to be the patient? Outside of entering the US with ebola, is there anything about Duncan's biography that is notable and encyclopedic, or even unusual compared to the thousands that died from ebola in Africa? Geogene (talk) 17:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. While clearly WP:BLP1E, the key phrase is 'if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles'. This was a very significant event, and this individual's part in it, albeit mostly inadvertent, was a key part of the event. Onel5969 TT me

Alaynestone (talk) 15:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- If "he got sick" doesn't cover it, then "he got sick, and was made a scapegoat" certainly does. But all that stuff about Presbyterian not being able to handle it and, his apartment, are out of scope for his bio article, they belong in the main article, Ebola virus cases in the United States, or some other spinoff.

- Disagreements on semantics aside, you and I agree that x pieces of information are notable. All we're really debating is where they live, which is fairly minor for such a long AfD. You say it goes in the main article; I say (again) that's great but the article is already too long and needs to be broken out into sub pages, particularly given the potential for that page to continue to grow. TED is a concise heading for the page (vs. "First U.S. Ebola patient" or something else much less encyclopedic). The notable information needs to stay, and it needs to live in a place that is helpful to researchers. He meets the other criteria the other keep voters have made above. Still voting keep, but mostly, I think we're spending more brain power and time on this than it's worth. Alaynestone (talk) 18:55, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete and redirect to Ebola virus cases in the United States. Duncan is simply not notable and the article runs afoul of WP:BLP1E - he's not notable, the event he was connected with was, and the other article has enough information about him to render his own article redundant. Titanium Dragon (talk) 18:41, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Excellent analysis by Alaynestone, the article is not a bio, more fitting is WP:PERPETRATOR. Renaming the article referencing,"First U.S. Ebola patient", "U.S. Ebola Patient Zero" or the like is a good idea. There is enough contradicting information in various articles as to TED's motives in the press, had he survived, he would likely have been prosecuted. (I.e., abruptly quitting his job with no explanation, purchasing a very expensive airfare (2 week lead) to visit children he'd never visited before -- or the alternative story that he rushed over to the U.S. to marry someone -- all after living with an ebola victim.) This was not "just a guy who happened to get sick," he's a case study in selfishness who risked his family's lives when he lied to customs officials. 009o9 (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep preferable or redirect alternately -- at least as important as, say Typhoid Mary. Issue is not if people still know him by name -- it is whether his actions and their consequences generated sufficient notability, which I would say they did. I also commend @Alaynestone for his analysis. Quis separabit? 23:44, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Intensity and breadth of coverage at the time carry this article past WP:GNG. The story has generated ongoing coverage, as the response to the disease outbreak is analyzed. Long-term impact is now required when a story is sufficiently important when it occurs, rather, it is a factor that can indicate notability. In this case, however, there was impact on treatment policies recommended and adopted by other hospitals in the crises period.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:34, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. This is an index case of the best-publicized infectious disease outbreak in many years. There is far too much information to be merged elsewhere. This is an extremely well-sourced article. Citing ONEEVENT would eliminate all articles of famous sick people. Bearian (talk) 13:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Tentative keep as there's enough for a separate article here including the details although I would've considered the redirect to ebola cases article. SwisterTwister talk 05:24, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete for the policy reasons behind WP:BLP1E. There is no need for a redirect as the world will little note nor long remember Thomas Eric Duncan. As to the comments by Bearian, the infectious disease outbreak is best handled in the Ebola virus cases in the United States article. If that article is considered to be too large, then it is likely that it carries a lot of non-encyclopedic content, and can be usefully trimmed. --Bejnar (talk) 03:39, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - satisfies the general notability guideline. There is enough reliably-sourced content about him to warrant his own article. Jujutacular (talk) 15:49, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete: The main content of the article is a WP:COPYVIO from the gallery's own website, so would have to go if the article survived - I left it for the moment as it contains the nearest to any claim to notability. However the given references are dead links, and I am not seeing anything substantial: a Russian Google search delivers some guide listings and a brief unsigned piece on the gallery owner, but it isn't evident that it is a WP:RS on the founder or her enterprise. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 07:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete - Non-notable organization with a lack of reliable sources. Most of the article is unsourced except for the final paragraph. The first source just mentions the gallery, the second and third is simply about an exhibiton they held (and even then the sources also just mention the gallery), and the fourth and fifth also talks about another exhibiton they held. None of the sources listed talks in great detail about the gallery itself, and they do not assert the notability of the place. Aerospeed (Talk) 12:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

In further support of HWCG's notability, the organization has been invited to testify in front of various US Government committees on the progress in offshore safety since Deepwater Horizon (citations with links to this testimony are included in the entry).

Still keepYou can vote only once As a note for anyone trying to search for additional sources/information, the organization was formerly called Helix Well Containment Group in the years immediately following Deepwater Horizon and seems only recently dropped down to HWCG. The linked search results for "hwcg llc company" in the previous comment use too narrow of a search term to get a full picture of coverage, as many recent news mentions just say "HWCG." To get the full sense of notability, it's necessary to evaluate coverage for both Helix Well Containment Group and HWCG together (although Helix Well Containment Group is no longer the organization's correct name). In that sense, you will see the organization has been covered by NPR, National Geographic, the New York Times and the Houston Chronicle, in addition to the sources already cited in the entry. For example, National Geographic called HWCG's containment system one of the "most hopeful energy developments" of 2011.[1]. This coverage doesn't appear in the narrower search above, as it uses the organization's old name. Cdevwrites (talk) 15:38, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete per (at best) being TOO SOON. Per WP:INDAFD, the word "Adahunik" gives LOTS of results for some company, but not a Bengali drama series, and the Bengali word "আধুনিক" gives Bengali sources that also appear to NOT be speaking about a drama series. "Apurba Banerjee" gives unrelated results. "Kaberi Bagh" gives no results. "Abhishek Bagh" gives no results. "Rimjhim Gupta" IS an actress, but no news is found in connection with this project. All that is found is the created social media page which is not RS. Being unverifiable, it misses out on WP:NF by a wide margin.

This article is a mess, to put it lightly. It reads vaguely like my college notes from freshman year. This content is covered in a much more comprehensive and encyclopedic manner at GDP#Determining GDP. Since the components of GDP and the methods of calculation are crucial to understanding the concept, this is not a good candidate for a split. ~ RobTalk 02:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

- I'm weakly opposed to a redirect. There has been at least weak consensus that WP:NOTGUIDE applies to redirects in the past. I would consider that redirect to suggest that the reader will find guide-like content on the target page, which they will not. Also, GDP does not contain any discussion of the processes used to actually measure GDP as this redirect would suggest (i.e. what the various governmental agencies do to collect data). It only discusses calculating the value if you already know the values of components. Pinging Hisashiyarouin in case they care to comment on this. ~ RobTalk 03:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. The camp itself may be notable, but the article isn't about the camp. It's about an alleged atrocity that hasn't, as far as I can tell, had a single shred of hard evidence put forward to prove it ever actually happened and which can join the serried ranks of conspiracy theories (the British apparently did it at the behest of the Armenians, an unbelievably unlikely story) and urban legends. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:38, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete unless WP:RS can be provided. I have no doubt that following the campaign in Palestine, the British had a lot of POWs and it may be that a few went blind while imprisoned. I suspect that this is a story that has been greatly exaggerated, if not a plain HOAX. While this was the period before the Geneva Conventions, the British were used to keeping POWs in camps. This happened with captured Germans. I therefore doubt that the British would be incapable of dealing with their Turkish WWI prisoners. I suspect that this is an invented story to use to counter issues about the Armenian genocide. That was wrong, but perhaps capable of justification in Turkish eyes on the basis that their Christian subjects were potential traitors. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:10, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

- Indeed. But there is no even halfway reliable source for this lurid and improbable story. And the camp was called Sidi Bishr, btw. And was regularly inspected by the International Red Cross. TheLongTone (talk) 13:26, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Of course it would be notable if 15,000 soldiers had been blinded, especially if they'd been deliberately blinded. But there's no reliable evidence for this incredibly far-fetched story. It seems to be a typical myth that has grown in the telling and is taken as fact by some with no real attempt to question its veracity or gather evidence. If it had happened then it is inconceivable that there would be no reliable sources. The "source" you cite says: "Because the British were brainwashed by Armenians, being told that in a potential new war they could come up against these soldiers again. The solution was massacre..." So the British Empire, which ruled half the world, was brainwashed by a bunch of Armenians into massacring Turkish soldiers, who they'd just defeated, because they might possibly face them again in war? And you expect us to take that as a reliable source? It's about as reliable as Nazi propaganda saying that the Jews were responsible for all the world's ills by hoodwinking every Western government. Those danged Armenians with their supernatural powers of mind control! Pity they didn't use them to stop the Turks massacring them! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:08, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete both - at best these articles seem to refer to a myth that seems to have built up over time which was the probably the result of a far smaller number of prisoners going blind due to a vitamin deficiency caused by a poor diet (see for instance Yucel Yanikdag (2013) Healing the Nation: Prisoners of War, Medicine and Nationalism in Turkey, 1914-1939, p. 160 [22] published by Edinburgh University so meets the req's of WP:RS as far as I can tell). There appears to be some coverage of this topic (i.e. the myth) in Google Books (although I couldn't read the sources so cannot verify the content). Given this I am tempted to say the "myth" itself *might* be notable; however, the manner in which these articles deal with it is entirely different, being the unsourced WP:FRINGE version presented without context. Quite simply unless someone is able to rewrite these really quickly I think they do indeed need to be blown up lest Wikipedia further assist the spread of yet another hoax / myth. I've tagged both as disputed for now to alert readers at least. Anotherclown (talk) 07:08, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete both Seydibesir Event for lack of verifiability and Seydibesir POW Camp because the present article is not about the camp, and it is better to start over (WP:TNT) with an article at the camp's acknowledged name, Sidi Bishr, as TheLongTone suggets. --Bejnar (talk) 03:47, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

issue,not a reason for deletion.I feel someone is jumping too quickly to the Deletion Option when it may be a minor editing issue.I have looked at this article a few times and tried to improve it although I am not the original writer of the article.Today I have re-checked many of the given Reference links and they seem to be working fine.So I don't see what's the big problem that the entire article should be deleted.Original writer may have written it from a 'fan's point of view' which your top template message box says that it is allowed in this case.If someone mentions specific wrong things in the article,I am willing to try and correct them.Thanks Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:51, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

The best the poor guy can hope for is recognition by the local Pakistani people which he has gotten after over 40 years of service by getting many prestigious awards by the Government of Pakistan.Again,I am willing to improve the article in the future,if and when I see more new info and sources on him.Of course I am a fan and I can try to be objective as Wikipedia wants me to be.Wikipedia policy also allows me to write some articles from a 'fan's point of view'.Thanks Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:02, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

No clear notability. No results at Google Books or Google News. The only Google results I get provide no context. The only reference in the article results in a 403 error and there are no useful archives at the Wayback Machine. It's also curious that the article creator used an accessdate of 1997. I suspect the only way that notability can be established is through the inclusion of Tamil-language references. Maybe. This could also be a hoax for all I know.

- Delete This page was created on 25 August 2015; however, searching for coverage provides only very brief mentions, like most of his roles. An example is Ian Liston (born 4th August, 1948) briefly played Danny Burrows in Coronation Street during 1974. or this one-liner from a extensive review of the stage play The Dame of Sark in The Glasgow Herald of 23 July 1975: Two more Germans of very different types are Nicholas as the suspicious and correct officer, and Ian Liston, as a pathetically young rookie only too eager to display his family photographs. The Star Wars interview was interesting, but nothing more. The character was what the fans sought out, not the actor. Fails WP:ENT, fails WP:GNG. (By the way, not the lawyer "Ian R.

- Delete since it meets none of the "Other evidence of notability" criteria, it would only be saved by having significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Schmidt is incorrect about the guideline, the mere having of sources is not sufficient. One newspaper article from the hometown paper about their mayor's project and a couple of videos from the local Rhode Island NBC affiliate (channel 10) don't make it. By the way, the video links in the article are dead. The correct links are Interview: Steve Laffey… Feb 15, 2013 and Laffey Making A Documentary… Feb 15, 2013 and they work with Micosoft IE, but not Chrome. --Bejnar (talk) 15:14, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- LOL Thanks for the chuckles. Please review WP:N which tells us that having sources available IS sufficient: IE: topic notability is based upon sources being available, NOT upon their actually being used. And please, OEN is not an inclusion mandate, and are only listed "attributes to consider" when searching for sources. If you found dead links, you are welcome to fix them. And that your computers's version of chrome does not allow you to watch the two News 10 interviews (my own Chrome works just fine), is a problem with you and your computer, NOT with Wikipedia... which does not mandate Internet explorer only or Chrome only or Firefox or Mozilla only browsers. That "you" cannot personally view sources does not make them non-existent. Try updating your Chrome and your flash player and good luck. And please, Wikipedia does not demand world-wide or country-wide coverage. If WJAR were only some local backwater station, it might be dismissable as "too tiny to matter" that they made the editorial choice to cover a topic notable to their state. A little research reveals WJAR was Rhode Island's first television station and the fourth NBC station in all of New England, and we learn it is the NBC-affiliated television station for the entire state of Rhode Island (est.pop 1,055,173) and expanding into Bristol County, Massachusetts (est. pop 554,19). As Wikipedia does not demand nor require worldwide notability, determinable as notable in and to even a small state such as Rhode Island is just fine. It is a grave injustice to declare an entire state as inconsequential... specially as this NBC station serving nearly 2 million people is not exactly some" minor" church news bulletin. Again, thanks for the smiles. Best of luck in fixing your computer issues. Schmidt, Michael Q. 16:59, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

So I can only think it was a jest of some sort when he appeared to denigrate an entire state as "local", made a hilariously incorrect statement about my understanding of guideline, and was able to share that he has what must be computer issues when viewing online news sources.

- @MichaelQSchmidt: Please, could you share with us the indepedent reliable sources for the notability of Fixing America that exist but are not used? Right now from the three cited sources (two video from the same interview) and what I have found, I do not see the substantial coverage, and my initial searching showed no coverage in Gale's magazine and academic databases. I did find a review in Rhode Island's The Current-Anchor here, a mention on the local radio station here, and a mention on Rhody Beat here. The imdb did not provide any direction Fixing America at IMDb. It would appear that there isn't much coverage, and that the coverage is not substanntial and is purely local to Rhode Island. I am happy to consider any other sources that you may have found. --Bejnar (talk) 18:40, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- There's no question about it, Vrac. Piotr merely stating that reviews are paid for without providing evidence for that accusation is no justification for deletion. I'm starting to think he's pushing some agenda here. Note that the reviews are by no means "passing mentions", and sources have without a doubt an editorial process. Not only that, but its products constitute "the largest network of home weather sensors in the world", according to TechCrunch, a notability claim in a reliable source if there ever was one. What does the nom have against these people? The stub is already bordering on citation overkill and Piotr's request for more references is absurd.

I'll add to my prior arguments that the Figaro entry seems to be your average run of the mill "start up gets financing" type of a news piece. [36] seems more promising, and seems the 2nd good source presented here, through I'd appreciate a review by a more neutral French-speaker (who can distinguish between a reworded press release and proper journalism). Thanks, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:00, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- There's no question about it, Vrac. Piotr merely stating that reviews are paid for without providing evidence for that accusation is no justification for deletion. I'm starting to think he's pushing some agenda here. Note that the reviews are by no means "passing mentions", and sources have without a doubt an editorial process. Not only that, but its products constitute "the largest network of home weather sensors in the world", according to TechCrunch, a notability claim in a reliable source if there ever was one. What does the nom have against these people? The stub is already bordering on citation overkill and Piotr's request for more references is absurd.

- There is more at Le Figaro, including this. Then there is L'Express, which I hadn't looked at, with this and others. I'll grant you that not all of the coverage is in-depth, but compared to the things we usually fight over at AFD this company passes WP:CORPDEPTH with flying colors.

- Delete for failure to meet the notability guidelines at WP:CORP. Those guidelines are rather specific about what constitutes significant coverage of the company in independent reliable sources. Netatmo has not received that kind of coverage. At best this article is WP:TOOSOON. Having award winning products is certainly a start for gaining the kind of coverage the guidelines require, but by itself does not make the company notable. --Bejnar (talk) 16:20, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Delete The awards may not be important enough for implying that the company notable notability. As far as I can tell from the references, the CES gives multiple awards for every product judged to above a certain standard, with one product being rated "best" in each the category. There is nothing here reliable enough to show that these products were actually so rated as "best", or merely honored. The CES website is insufficiently explicit. I'm not an expert in this, but it certainly isn't obvious.
- The CNET review is in my opinion the best of the references; though fairly brief, I do know they have reasonably high standards. . I cannot distinguish in this field for the articles in Figaro and LeMonde the difference between PR-instigated articles and and true coverage. Certainly, it is my impression that giving such full articles to what after all are quite minor peripheral products, that PR placement is the more important. But I would have to judge it not by the language used only, but by their habitual standards. And I do not know this. But I could quite as likely have come to the opposite conclusion; in fact, I wrote this out both ways! In the end, I'm going by the impression that it is not likely that a firm limiting itself to such products is really very important. There's a place for common sense, even in WP.
- This shows the absurdity of our judging things like this by WP:GNG. The world is actually such that it is impossible for us in many cases to judge the difference between journalism and advertising, and this unfortunate fact makes a mockery out of our standards. It's time we went by the RW, not the media business, which I do not trust to be honest for topics such as this.
- Incidentally, The pseudo-guideline INHERITORG has it exactly backwards. A product is not notable because it is produced by a notable company, because not everything even the most important company makes is important; but a company making notable products can not do so without being itself important. Inheritance, both in the RW as well as WP, ordinarily goes downwards, not upwards. A company becomes notable by its accomplishments--which for the ordinary business concern, are its products. Normally, it's easy to see the difference--most notable companies make several notable products. If in doubt whether we need a separate article on each, we go with the larger topic: the company, with sections for the products. When there is a company with only one important product, it can be a doubtful, because the product may indeed sometimes be much conspicuous than the company, and should be the topic of the article. In this case, there are multiple products of equal importance, so if they have each won a major award --for which there is insufficient evidence-- the article would be on the company. DGG ( talk ) 05:28, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: this situation is more a commentary on the absurdity of AFD than the absurdity of GNG. The company has gotten significant coverage in the French press because its products are interesting. Le Monde and Le Figaro are the top two reliable sources for France and L'Express is not far behind. Le Monde is one of the best reliable sources this planet has to offer. We cover what reliable sources cover so GNG is amply satisfied. If the equivalent coverage were to be found in the equivalent UK or US sources this AFD would have been a snow keep.
- AFD outcomes depend on who shows up; and in this case who shows up with how much linguistic knowledge, how much knowledge of the sources in question; and, frankly, with what agenda. The nominator has referenced a Signpost op-ed they wrote about promotion in Wikipedia; dare I say they may feel that they can't back down on this delete because of that. When I compare this to some of the other corporate crap I've seen kept at AFD like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Invoicera or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One Horizon Group, the WP:ABSURDITY of the situation is demoralizing. Vrac (talk) 12:25, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Not only that, but its products constitute "the largest network of home weather sensors in the world", according to TechCrunch. Those are two prime examples of the state of AfD. AfC is quite similar in that regard...depending on who's available at any given time. That's the problem with running a quasi-collaborative endeavour.

This one's edited at least two dozen times in over 11 years. I don't see a reason to keep an article about a type of character depending on their medium (see "static character" section), especially I can't locate similar standalone articles about characters in other formats.

- Comment. It seems like something that would be encyclopedic, but looking for refs I was able to find only one definition: [38] ("Digital Character Development", Rob O'Neill); the book is not searchable online outside scribid. As scribid is not free, I can't even fully verify it anyway. Unless we can produce sources, I support the merge to Character animation as proposed by the op. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:25, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I did find one reference related to 'how-to' create one of these digital characters and inserted it into the article. Also, it is no longer an orphan since I was able to link it to another article. This topic has the potential of becoming valuable information if someone with access to the references were to edit it. Isn't there a video gaming project that would be interested in this?

- Whose communication department? The Forbes piece is marked "Promotion" at the top of the page, has no author listed save the HH Global logo, on a website that clearly states at the page bottom: "Forbes Custom is a custom publishing site that features special advertising sections from Forbes magazine as well as industry articles and videos from our partners. The editors at Forbes were not involved in the creation of this content." (emphasis added). The Bloomberg profile verifies existence but not necessarily notability (see WP:COMPANY for guidelines on demonstrating notability for companies), and even if HH Global is notable, notability is not inherited, thus not all board member may warrant individual articles- they still need to satisfy basic notability or other guidelines described at WP:BIO. --Animalparty!

Does not appear to be a notable political party. Other than coverage from a libertarian website called Libertarian Home, I wasn't able to find enough significant coverage from reliable sources. Most hits are blogs on Blogspot, election/registration news (aka listing of candidates, not of whom appear to have won any election), and pretty much that's it.

- Comment: This matter has come up on Wikipedia before, i.e. whether or not we should have articles for the children and grandchildren of Nazi war criminals.

- Comment. It appears that her book has received reviews in various sources like the Washington Post, Seattle Times, MacLean's, Irish Times, and the Jewish Book Council, all places that are considered to be reliable sources. Some of other sources appear to be about the basic gist of her discovering who her grandfather was, but they are also in RS: BBC, NBC, and People. People would probably be considered a little tabloid-y, but it's still considered a RS. Sixth&I and DW appear to be unusable for various reasons. Now if it was just the news articles about her discovering her heritage then I'd argue for a firm delete, but she has written a book about this that has received coverage and the reviews for that are enough to push her into notability territory, if only just so. The question we need to ask right now is this: would it be better to have an article on the author or one on the book itself? A book article would be a bit tidier, although since there's already an article about the author we could probably just add this information into the article that's already existent. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Obviously notable per reliable third-party sources. Being a book author who's a relative of the major Nazi war criminal on her biological mother's side (she placed her in foster care at the age of three) makes the whole affair exponentially more interesting actually. Her memoir is a bestseller in Germany, says Macleans. This AfD must be a misunderstanding. Poeticbent talk 18:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Clear pass of WP:AUTHOR. This nomination appears to be based on a common misunderstanding of WP:NOTINHERITED. NOTINHERITED states that having a more-famous relative and having your own notability based on a connection to that relative is not by itself a sufficient condition for notability. But neither is it a sufficient condition for non-notability; it's still possible in such cases to have independent notability, gained in the usual way through stories about you or your works. And the subject here clearly has such notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep -Clearly notable per reliable sources mentioned above by Tokyogirl79 as well as many other sources here. Agree that this is not a case of WP:NOTINHERITED. She is notable on her own as an author. In response to the question by Tokyogirl79, maybe just keep this article on the author for now, rather than change it to an article on the book. Easier to add to it later if author writes more in the future. ABF99 (talk) 15:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- RENAME to My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me as clearly WP:AT the scope and coverage of the article is mostly about the book, and not the author per se. The Book is notable and properly referenced. The author apart from the book has very little content separate from what is necessary for the book.

- The case made for deletion by red bean is mere proof by assertion, and reflects failures to (1) read the article carefully (it's about a company, not a product), and (2) perform some due diligence before AfD nom, considering that a news search turns up not only the sources cited already in the article at this writing (Technology Review, Wall Street Journal -- possibly enough to establish notability in themselves), but many more: at CNN [41][42], The Independent [43], Bloomberg [44], USA Today [45], not to speak of all the gadget-review websites. Of course, it's a crappy article at this point. I should know: I wrote it. But "crappy" =/= "un-notable". I almost sandboxed it, but then thought, "No, maybe the next thing that happens is somebody will be WP:BOLD and improve it. So be WP:BOLD and create it." Unfortunately, there's always the possibility in such cases that "what happens next" will be something counterproductive.

Note that it is a relisting after it was requested that articles were re-bundled from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japan national football team hat-tricks.
A hat-trick is a semi-common occurrence in football which while notable in the context of regular news reporting, is not an outstanding achievement in and of itself. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - lists need to have some justification to their existence beyond the collection of statistics. Notable hat-tricks will be described in player, team or where relevant match articles. Even though the Champions League is the most prestigious club football tournament in the world, hat-tricks are still not that notable in it. As well as season articles, we have List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League top scorers and List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League top scorers. This topic comfortably documented already, ratehr than this slightly arbitrary repackaging.
It's important to note that, by and large, lists such as this do not exist outside of Wikipedia: they have been collated together from football results databases. This is evidence, I think, of the indiscriminate and unnecessary nature of these pages, which also makes them border on being original research.

- Keep all. I think hat-tricks in a professional league is a notable subject. For example, The Scotsman newspaper noted that Steven Naismith's hat-trick for Everton last week was the first by a Scottish player in a Premier League match for 17 years. It then also lists all other hat-tricks by Scottish players since the PL was formed in 1992/93. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:19, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep all - List of Premier League hat-tricks is a featured list. I simply cannot understand why a list identified as one of the best on WP is now suddenly not notable. All the other lists here are similarly from fully professional leagues, so see no reason why these are inherently less notable. I also think that this AfD should be closed (by an uninvolved admin as I closed the last mass nomination 24 hours ago) procedurally as the nominator was specifically asked to let a wider discussion here run its course to ascertain a wider consensus about the notabilityof hat tricks in football and there suitability as list subjects. Fenix down (talk) 09:28, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep all - hat-tricks occur less than "semi-commonly" and can often be outstanding achievements, contrary to what the nominator suggests. If "these lists do not exist outside of Wikipedia" then that would be something to consider on a case-by-case basis, not by throwing the baby out with the bathwater and deleting everything at once, because I know for a fact that they often do exist. Hat-tricks are notable - there is a siginificance attached to that figure that cannot be said of 2, 4 or any other number of goals in media and statistics alike. These lists are therefore not indiscriminate, and, in my opinion, ought to be kept. Macosal (talk) 09:53, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

This deletion listing includes all national football team hat trick lists that I could find. Note that this is a relisting after the first AfD was closed for bundling too many articles together.
A hat-trick is a semi-common occurrence in football which while notable in the context of regular news reporting, is not an outstanding achievement in and of itself. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - lists need to have some justification to their existence beyond the collection of statistics. Notable hat-tricks will be described in player, team or where relevant match articles. For national teams, results are already listed (eg Japan national football team results and fixtures; Romania national football team results etc) which will of course list hat-tricks. We also list top goalscorers, notable matches, finals etc. Hat-trick lists simply repackage goals that are listed elsewhere on Wikipedia, in a way which most alamancs, encylopedias and football websites don't bother doing. I think that's key for judging the worth of a list - by and large, these lists do not exist outside of Wikipedia: they have been collated together from football results databases. This is evidence, I think, of the indiscriminate and unnecessary nature of these pages, which also makes them border on being original research. There are 200+ national football teams - a list of hat-tricks in each of these is simply unnecessary. Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:21, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

The source is a trade publication that is well read and referenced in the ecommerce industry, and is notable because of the large amount of trade publications publishing content around the concept as it is separate from other concepts in the industry. Here is another independent and reliable source that discusses the concept http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500249048/Unified-commerce-the-next-step-for-retailers. The concept of Unified Commerce is young, true, and as a result some mainstream publication haven't published work around it yet.

Also, the organization has a long history, and judging it based on the lack of sources online strikes me as a form of recentism.

- Weak Keep - One of those situations when language barrier poses a challenge but what is known about the subject suggests sources are available. I would presume being the oldest such organization is a good indicator of notability (i.e. it doesn't mean it's notable, but just like winning an Oscar award, having an endowed professorship, or a charting album don't take the place of sources but indicate sources should be available). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:19, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. The organisation's webpage www.fidh.org is in perfectly sound English with translated options, albeit with a European flavour of presentation. To call this a relatively small non -notable organisation seems absurd; their page says that it's pushing a century old, has a multi million dollar budget and broad international presence. The webpage is current and recently updated which indicates a good professionalism in their staff.

I can't see significant notability, and the promotionalism, even after a little cleanup by other editors, self evident. As for notability 1/ There is obviously no notability under WP:PROF. The publications are popular, not scholarly. 2/ Looking quickly, I thought he might be notable as an author, because I remember encountering The Fifth Discipline. Checking Worldcat, I find he wasn't the author--and looking carefully at the article, he wrote at most only one chapter. There are two other less well-known books given--again, he wrote a chapter. ( The sort of minor magazine articles listed don't make for a notable author. He is apparently about to publish a book that he did write as sole author, Systems Thinking For Social Change; the publisher is Chelsea Green Publishing, a publisher of books on sustainable living, not on business management. If and only if the new book becomes a best seller would he be notable as an author.
As for promotionalism , writing an article with emphasis on the names of more important people and trying to assert one's own importance by having worked with them can best be described as advertising. The use of adjectives of praise and quality throughout adds to the effect. The usual reason for writing an autobiography here is the desire to have the public know more about oneself. Very few people are able correctly to judge their own importance. There's been considerable cleanup by Voceditenore, but the promotionalism keeps getting re-added. And there's no fundamental notability in the first place. . This article should have been deleted in 2010, when it was first submitted. DGG ( talk ) 04:20, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. There are two ways this could pass the criteria for inclusion: (1) the general notability guideline (WP:GNG) which requires significant and in depth coverage from multiple independent sources, or (2) the alternative criteria at WP:PROF. The subject pretty comprehensively fails both at this point. I have not been able to find any independent coverage of the subject himself. I did find one pre-publication review of his forthcoming book in Publisher's Weekly here, but that isn't nearly sufficient for either an article on the book or on its author. Things may change if the book turns out to make a considerable impact accompanied by significant independent coverage of its author. At that point, and only at that point, should the article be recreated. The obvious COI and promotionalism are not in themselves a rationale for deletion. Promotionalism can be fixed, but the non-notability cannot. Voceditenore (talk) 10:22, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

The only sources I can find about Caddell are from her employers (past and present) and news surrounding the sex scandal. I don't think that this one event is enough to make her a notable individual, and without it she's just a reporter doing her job. No significant awards or distinctions.

Many of the claims for significance aren't backed up by the references. I cannot find anything relating to the womens safety app being launched by the government minister mentioned in the article, and the 'supercop' government project appears to just be a solution to an issue the government might be facing rather than something endorsed or commissioned by the government.

- Delete but not speedy. There is a claim of notability in the article: that he holds a named chair at what is claimed to be a particularly large seminary. Superficially this would seem to pass WP:PROF#C5. However, it does not. The press release I found from his employer noting the chair [49] makes it clear that such titles are given even to assistant professors at that institution, and also makes it clear that he was given that chair while he held a purely administrative role (one too low-level to pass #C6). So regardless of the seminary's size or prestige such chairs do not count as the step above full professor that is the intended meaning of the WP:PROF criterion. Nothing else in the article gives any hint of any other kind of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:19, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per David Eppstein. I desperately wanted to vote "keep", to preserve the integrity of WP:PROF, but David is spot on. StAnselm (talk) 08:49, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment -- I was going to vote keep as the holder of a named chair and as a Dean, which is normally a higher post than professor, but perhaps I do not adequately understand the American academic system. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:14, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Dean is not "higher" than a professor, it is merely a different type of job. A professor's main job functions are to teach students and perform research; a dean's main job function is to manage a subunit of the university. People who are professors can become deans, and people who are deans can go back to being professors, with no change in their academic rank. We have a criterion for being at a high enough level as an academic administrator to warrant keeping an article, it is WP:PROF#C6, and the level it describes is the head of a whole university, typically one or two steps above the deans in the administrative hierarchy. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:53, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
