Non-notable high school and college swimmer. Fails the specific notability guidelines for high school athletes per WP:NHSPHSATH -- all significant coverage of subject is either found in his hometown Aiken, South Carolina newspaper or local Aiken media, and other coverage is either WP:ROUTINE and/or does not rise to the demanding standards of NHSPHSATH. Fails the specific notability guideline for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH -- no major college records or awards. Received trivial mentions and other ROUTINE coverage outside South Carolina when he was recognized as a Presidential Scholar. This is a classic case of a successful high school athlete still being non-notable per our notability standards for high school jocks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:16, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Bikini New Zealand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Page created as promotion by user who appears to have very close (undisclosed) professional connections to Miss Supranational. Essentially its only claim to notability is that it decides who gets sent to this non-notable, deleted-and-salted pageant. It is also completely unreferenced - and I saw NOTHING in the 37 Google hits I got for a search for the pageant that was actually solid coverage of the pageant itself. A lot of the media stories which mention this pageant focus on the transgender model Amy Brosnahan and on Miss Bikini NZ's director, Katrina Turner's apparent tendency to say controversial things - I see few reliable sources that really focus on the pageant itself.

Delete nice local TV piece about his efforts, a promising student, but beyond that being 1/25 of a book on young enterpeneurs which itself is likely non-notable is not enough to pass the bar... Roberticus talk 16:44, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article has had large chunks of promotional text removed (it was written by a clearly COI account) but still seems to be a semi-coherent promotion for this picture agency and its related organisations. I'm not seeing anything anywhere to convince me it meets WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Theres no explanation for the "award winning" claim either. Sionk (talk) 22:23, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (and move to "Drik Picture Library", so capitalized). The article has at times been a bloated PR text (2009 example) and was crap when Sionk nominated it for deletion. And it's still an unconvincing mess now, with its almost complete lack of conventional references and strange section of "further reading". It's me who perpetrated this section -- as a stopgap measure, because I simply lack the time to do more work on this article in a great hurry. The section recycles what was previously a list of "references", but replaces dead links with Wayback copies and removes links that were obviously unusable. (Do not infer that I think all that survive are usable. I haven't paid close attention to all of them.) We have some ho-hum stuff here, but we also have a "case study" of Drik in a non-negligible book, and more. To me, the term "picture library" looks like "stock photo agency"; but (for those with any interest in notability in the normal, non-Wikipedia sense of the word) it's clear that this outfit is more. As for the comment that there's no explanation for "award winning", that's right, there wasn't -- but it only took me a couple of minutes to find (here) that not only did it get an award, but that the award was of €200,000, which I'd say is a fair amount of moolah. So yes, the article needs more work (at the end of which most of the "further reading" will be recycled as references [via <ref>these things</ref>] and the remainder dumped), but there's enough promise here for it to be retained. -- Hoary (talk) 06:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC) ... To summarize: (i) Gerhard Haupt and Pat Binder, "Drik: Images for change", (ii) Saad Hammadi, "Drik turns 18", and (iii) the case study in the book provide enough decently sourced info for a short article, and (iv) we have evidence of a €200,000 award: notability in both the normal and the Wikipedia senses of the word. -- Hoary (talk) 23:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm liking this one. Given the cultural and language barriers, there's a surprising amount of english language coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I do agree that the article needed to be improved when nominated for deletion. But there are several independent reliable sources, in addition to those already mentioned, that indicate Drik's notability. An article on the New York Times with several paragraphs about Drik, noting that "Drik put Bangladesh on the map for photography." http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/14/arts/international/in-bangladesh-a-vibrant-contemporary-scene.html?_r=1 A book published by Routledge, Icons of War and Terror, describes the founder Alam's vision and Drik's work. This reference could also serve as a source for the concept "majority world." http://books.google.com.tw/books?id=dtBVDQ5mtm8C&pg=PA56&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false Puchku (talk) 08:54, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't see lack of sources a threat to adequate accurate verifiable coverage here. This is a font and there is not much to add to the article, in theory, were the sources to exist. Gryllida (talk) 23:09, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This issue is not "accurate verifiable coverage", it's notability, and neither the article nor a google search reveal any sources that indicate the notability of this font. According to this message board post by the font creator, this was an amateur's first attempt at creating a font over a couple of days, and is a font that the other users of that forum called "about average for a free font from a first time designer". Barring extraordinary circumstances, it's hard to see how such a font could be notable. I'll also note that the article was created by Baville, who used to have the username Arman88, which sounds similar to the name of the font's creator Arman Ay. --Ahecht (TALK

WP:GNG. Unremarkable product, borderline promotional. Only 'independant' source lookd like a PR job. TheLongTone (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give a background on this, I'd like to put in a few words. For one, I do not even own this product, so I do not have any close ties to it. Second, I was very careful to include neutral language, and I appreciate that an editor removed some promotional style language. And, even though I'm experienced on some other wikis, I'm a newcomer here, and I knew from the beginning that there would be problems with the article.
As far as notability, I must acknowledge that the NutriBullet is not extremely popular. Like I mentioned on the discussion page, though, very well known stores sell the product. Writing Enthusiast (talk) 15:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify This is a reasonably accurate article, which has been in existence for a number of years, on a significant facet of Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion novels. However, while the article as it stands probably deserves to survive somewhere, that place is probably not Wikipedia - it currently badly infringes Wikipedia guidelines against in-universe articles and what we choose here to call original research. A limited amount of the article could be referenced from independent reliable secondary sources such as this one (and almost all the rest from primary sources) but unfortunately, at least as yet, there do not seem to be enough substantial reliable sources to justify a standalone article on the topic.
However, there are enough further sources on other aspects of the Chalion series and its associated universe to justify a standalone article (separate from the existing articles on the individual novels) - the sources available for this topic would justify at least a short section on it within such an article, and a distinctly shortened version of this article, based on what can be reliably sourced, would be a useful starting-point for it.

Hello, Ad Orientem.

This is the second time you have proposed that D. W. Cooper be deleted. The first time (in January 2014) I responded, as requested, with a statement on Talk: D. W. Cooper justifying the inclusion of this article.

Before I respond again (but where? I've copied this note to your talk page), I want to be sure that you have read and understood my remarks there. If so, can you please explain further what reasons you have for proposing deletion for a second time?

Thank you. Wfbrooks (talk) 19:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment  WP:BEFORE C3 states, "If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors..."  I agree with the content contributor that the nomination has not sufficiently documented to the community the need for a community discussion.  I suggest that the nominator withdraw the discussion here (with WP:NPASR), and raise the concerns are on the talk page of the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response As there appears to be some confusion, I will expand on my above nomination for deletion statement. The subject of the article does not appear to meet the standards for encyclopedic notability contained in the General Notability Guidelines and more specifically the notability criteria for biographies. The sources are almost entirely primary and thus do not lend themselves to establishing notability for the subject. There is little in the form of coverage from secondary or tertiary sources and certainly not enough to meet the standard of in depth coverage from reliable secondary sources. In short there is nothing exceptional about this person. He was a businessman, one of many tens of thousands, who engaged in the normal things that business people do. Although not a fatal issue, I also note that the article has an essayish tone to it. Most of these issues have been raised previously in the original PROD that was taken down in January in the hopes the article would be improved. I also attached maintenance tags which have been removed without evident correction of the problems cited. While there are many issues with articles that can be fixed, notability is not usually one of them. It's either there or it isn't. A Google has yielded nothing that rings the notability bell for this individual. I am happily prepared to reconsider the nomination if some evidence of notability is offered. But after nine months I see no reason to sit on this any longer. For now I !vote to Delete as the nom. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response to response. Thank you for the clarification. I'm afraid that I'm rather new to Wikipedia, so I don't know all the jargon: what is a "PROD", please? and what are "maintenance tags"?

As for the substance of the question . . . The problem with secondary or tertiary sources, limited to historical publications issued in paper formats, is that they often do not reflect current thinking about a topic. This is especially true of the music industry, in which much scholarship until recently was constrained because archival collections were inaccessible unless one happened to be in the right place with the right credentials. In my view, public databases or archives (such as the Indiana and Brown online resources I cited) are the 21st-century equivalent of secondary sources like published anthologies or encyclopedias in, let's say, 1965. In fact, they're better: they offer a much more objective, quantifiable measure of importance—and hence of notability—than do historical studies written to further a particular argument and which thus (necessarily) take an editorial stance. I would suggest that if a publisher was responsible for a substantial body of significant music that is (nowadays) accessible to the public, as demonstrated in online archives, that publisher is "notable" and deserves an article. I'd also argue that if that publisher is noteworthy in part because his work contributed to the evolution of underrepresented regional or ethnic cultures in the United States, that further supports inclusion. D. W. Cooper meets both these criteria and should consequently remain in Wikipedia, it seems to me. As for an "essayish" tone, possibly that results from my inexperience. I'm very open to editorial advice; can you suggest what sentences or phrases impart this quality and how to improve them?

I've not encountered this process of proposed deletion before; as I said, I'm rather new. It all seems rather threatening and inhospitable, I must say! But your last sentence seems to indicate that some electoral body votes whether to include or remove. I would, of course, vote to include—if I'm a member of that electoral body. Presumably over the next few days others will weigh in on this matter, which at present seems to be mostly a discussion between the two of us (which I welcome, I hasten to say). There is a deadline, I believe, in a week. Could you explain (I do apologise for my ignorance, really I do!) how the voting is tallied at that point and what then happens? I don't find the wikipedia page very clear on that point. Wfbrooks (talk) 16:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi and welcome to Wikipedia (belatedly). I am sorry that your article is in danger of being deleted. It isn't personal. It's just that we have to enforce certain standards since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The term PROD refers to proposed deletion. It is one of the three commonly used methods for removing articles that may not meet our standards. You can read about it here WP:PROD. The other two are speedy deletion (WP:CSD) which is not applicable here, and articles for deletion WP:AFD which is what is going on now. In an AfD discussion interested editors will take a look at the article and discuss whether or not it meets our standards, and if not, whether or not it is fixable or better to just scrap it. Again there is nothing personal about it, although it undoubtedly sucks to have an article you worked on deleted. For now I am going to suggest that you talk to an ADMIN and ask him/her to move your article from the mainspace to a sub-page of your user account or perhaps your WP:SANDBOX. This will remove the immediate threat to your article and allow you time to peruse the notability guidelines linked above and make suitable improvements at your leisure. Then, if and when you think your article is ready, you can submit it to Articles for Creation for review by experienced editors before moving it back into the mainspace. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. If you will agree to this course of action I will withdraw my AfD nomination in consideration of your agreeing to WP:USERFY your article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response. Thank you for the response and the suggestion, though I'm still not very clear about the deletion process. Isn't what you suggest effectively equivalent to deleting the page and starting again from the beginning for approval? I note that on the WP:USERFY page, section 3, this point is made explicitly: "Userfication of an article will effectively amount to deletion of an article, as in general, the redirect left behind will be speedily deleted. Userfication should not be used as a substitute for regular deletion processes." It would seem that the process you suggest to resolve this matter actually accomplishes what you apparently wish to have happen.

I would also really like to have your comments on the substance of my response—that is, the matter of assessing notability using 21st-century resources rather than published secondary sources from a previous century. It seems that a potentially valuable discussion is being diverted into administrative mechanisms that neither resolve the immediate question nor allow larger issues to be debated. But perhaps there is a better forum for the latter; it seems that we two are the only ones contributing to this page, and we seem only to be going round in circles.

In any case I have left a message on the talk page for User:28bytes, who is the first administrator on the list at Wikipedia:List of administrators/Active and who, coincidentally, declares an interest in music articles. Perhaps this will move things forward. I'm heavily committed for the rest of this week, however, so I will have little time to respond further until the weekend.Wfbrooks (talk) 21:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wfbrooks, on the article's talk page you referred to "on-line digital sheet-music repositories at Brown, Indiana, and other institutions". Are these the "21st-century resources" to which you are referring? If so, these are not sufficient by themselves to demonstrate the notability of someone (i.e. a piece of music does not tell us anything about the person who wrote it or published it). Do you have any contemporary sources that discuss Cooper and his impact on music? The article appears to reflect one person's assessment of Cooper based upon pre-1940 material. An important guideline relevant to this discussion is Wikipedia:Notability (music). - Location (talk) 21:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to you both for the information and advice. I did in fact have a timely response, and I've replied on User talk:28bytes. I think there's nothing more to add here. Wfbrooks (talk) 06:10, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be a COATRACK/Attack article. Was previously deleted on Sep. 6th. Would seem to be eligible for speedy deletion, but a veteran user has suggested on the article talk page (incorrectly, I think) that the subject is no longer BLP1E notable. The guy's not notable, has only been Ferguson PD for 4 years, and IMHO the article is already starting to shape up exactly like the stated description of improper attack pages — i.e. it's going to be dominated by negative material about his rather loose relationship to this controversial police shooting, with a specific aim at insinuating some kind of wrongdoing or culpability on his part. Not what BLPs are for, as I understand it.Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 17:28, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"BLP1E should be applied only to biographies of low-profile individuals." Jackson is paid to give press conferences, he isn't low-profile. Darmokand (talk) 12:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The most senior police officials in a state, even a small state like Rhode Island, would be considered notable as officeholders at the state or province level, as per WP:Politician. So would the most senior police officials in Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, Nunavut or the Falkland Islands, as the level immediately below the Federal level counts -- even if its population is small -- as per WP:Politician. Meanwhile, the chief of Police of New York City, Tokyo, Shanghai, Moscow, wouldn't merit coverage, unless they measured up to the criteria of the WP:GNG.

    If Jackson measures up to the criteria of the WP:GNG he merits coverage. Period.

    Why don't we have individual articles on the hundreds of thousands of individual who are currently Chiefs of Police around the world? Those individuals haven't done anyything to stand out. They haven't appeared on Sean Hannitty's show. They haven't had commentators from across the political spectrum, make observations about their job performance, or their motives.

    Second, nominator called upon the authority of a (mis)interpretation of the COATRACK essay, claiming that the article currently an "attack article", or is shaping up to be an "attack article". If Jackson has said or done something that is extraordinary, it is absolutely not an "attack" to cite good references that say his actions are extraordinary. Or, the reverse, if Jackson didn't do the usual thing, and good references say so, using those references to cover however he behaved extraordinarily, would not make this an "attack article." And if the good references refute claims Jackson said or did something extraordinary, and the article uses those references to say that, that too would not be a an attack article.

    Has Jackson said or done something extraordinary? Maybe. Usually when there is strong reason to suspect a police officer has committed a serious breach of their local code of conduct, the officer is generally suspended, with pay, and the superior decline to comment, instead, when asked, they express confidence in the neutrality and judgment of the third party called in to perform a review of his conduct. If Jackson didn't suspend the shooter; if he failed to make sure the scene was secured; if he has taken sides, and tried to defend the shooter and his colleagues, then I strongly suggest this would all be highly notable behavior. On the other hand, if Jackson did none of those things, but less reputable sources say so, then, frankly, it would be irresponsible to not cover the refutation. Geo Swan (talk) 00:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The Chief of Police is entrusted by the state to explain state policy to the citizens-- it's not a low profile job. If WP:GNG is met, it's a keep-- WP:BLP1E is only for low-profile people-- not people elected or appointed to exercise the power of the state. --Darmokand (talk) 12:28, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Why are we having another discussion? This article has already been deleted after an AfD discussion which finished nine days ago. Nothing has changed. This man is still "notable" for one incident, in which he was not even directly involved - he simply responded to a situation and did his job (whether he did it well or badly is irrelevant to his notability). Everything else stems from that. He is head of a small police department in a small city. Unlike Geo Swan above, I do happen to believe that chiefs of larger departments are notable by virtue of their office (as do many others - since we apply common sense and not dogma - of course the police chiefs of New York City, Tokyo, Shanghai and Moscow are notable!), but he is not. He is simply not notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:39, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The chiefs of NYC, Tokyo, etc, can rise to wikipedia notability when they satisfy the criteria of significant coverage laid out in the WP:GNG. If a chief of NYC, Tokyo, does his job so smoothly he or she doesn't trigger any controversy, and thus doesn't trigger "significant coverage" the GNG says he or she isn't notable.

      Jackson has triggered multiple times the significant coverage the GNG requires, and since he fulfills the GNG requirement, many times over, he is notable. Period.

      Sorry, but I think I may detect in your comment a kind of editorializing I have seen in other {{afd}}. It seems to me that you aren't really disputing the massive coverage Jackson has triggered, including i highbrow publications like the NYTimes and the Wall Street Journal -- because you can't dispute the massive coverage. It is there for anyone who knows how to perform a web search to find. Rather, I am afraid it seems to me that what you are really saying is that Jackson shouldn't be considered notable. You and I aren't reliable, verifiable, authoritative sources. We don't get to start articles on topics we consider important, just because we consider them important, if no reliable, verifiable authoritative sources have ever written about that topic. The flip side of this is that even if you and I personally agree very strongly that a certain topic is B.S., is trivial, is not worth writing about, or thinking about -- but the authors of reliable, verifiable, authoritative sources, like the NYTimes, or the Wall Street Journal, have not agreed with us, and have written extensively on that topic, we have no choice but to set aside our personal feelings, and accept that the well covered topic has more than fulfilled our notability criteria.

Yes, the department that he leads. Same as we will have an article on the CEO of a company, if the company was embroiled in a controversy during his tenure in which he played a central part. Jackson meets by a wide margin the notability guidelines, and his notability will continue to raise during coming months when the grand jury investigation concludes. And no, that is not WP:CRYSTAL, that is a fact. - Cwobeel (talk) 03:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There may be 9,999 other Chiefs of Police forces of comparable size in the USA, who we shouldn't be covering, because nothing they have said or done has triggered a firestorm of controversy and coverage as the personal choices Jackson has made. Maybe among those 9,999 other Police Chiefs 9,900 have done exemplary jobs, and haven't done anything to trigger coverage. We shouldn't cover them in individual articles, because their examplary performance is already covered in the general articles on Policing. And, if there are 99 other Police Chiefs who have made personal choices just as controversial as Jackson's we shouldn't cover them either, because they got away with. They slipped under the media's radar. Their controversial personal choices haven't triggered significant coverage, so they don't meet the criteria for a standalone article. This leaves us with Jackson, and whoever was the Chief of Police of LA, during the Rodney King riots, and whoever was Chief of Police of NOLA during Hurricane Katrina. Notable, by virtue of the massive significant coverage. Geo Swan (talk) 20:45, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An argument could be made for #3. #1 and #2 clearly do apply. I don't believe his role is substantial enough to satisfy #3, but I can see that being an argument. Arzel (talk) 04:20, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not really:
  1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. Multiple events: The shooting of Michael Brown and how he handled it, the three weeks unrest that followed and his role in it, ongoing investigations of his department by the DOJ and the FBI.
  2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. No chance of that given the upcoming grand jury decision, and the eventual release of the FBI and the DOJ investigations (In both cases: if the department he leads is found to have broken the law, or if he is cleared)
  3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. An abundance of local, national and internationals sources, including dedicated profile pages in many media outlets makes him a central actor.

- Cwobeel (talk) 04:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1. This is just gaming the rule via strategic time-slicing. Under the same logic, my brushing my teeth is really a series of many discrete events.
2. Plain crystal balling. You're just assuming that he is going to turn out to be a central figure in the investigation.
3. If, as you argue, Jackson's role is both "substantial" and "well-documented", and that he is clearly a "central actor", how come the article doesn't yet have a single detail about his involvement or role? And let's also note that since this is an investigation, there's no guarantee of there being anything to see here. The accusations may amount to nothing. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 13:26, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Great comparison with tooth brushing (really?). Of course he is mentioned in both articles. Fifteeen times in the shooting article, and five times on the unrest article. - Cwobeel (talk) 13:48, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, it was indeed a very apt analogy. If you didn't quite understand, I can explain further.
Anyway: I didn't say anything about him being mentioned multiple times in Wikipedia articles. I was referring to him having a documented, substantive role in the DOJ investigation, which is so far entirely lacking. Without that, he's just BLP1E. Even with that, it's debatable whether we're truly talking about more than one event for BLP1E purposes. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 15:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
yes, that is why we are debating! This is the way I see it: If he was the chief of police when a controversial shooting took place, and that's it, BLP1E would apply. But he was also the Chief of Police that used militarized response to protests which resulted in him being forced to cede authority (this does not happen often). The Missouri Governor made a scathing assessment of his competence in dealing with the unrest. In addition, his four years tenure as chief of police is being investigated by the DOJ regarding use of force. And add to it the fact that the FBI is conducting a separate investigation of his department. These are non-trivial events directly related to the subject of the article, and although sequential events, they are all distinct, highly notable events, and very well covered by local, national and international press. That is why BLP1E does not apply. - Cwobeel (talk) 15:38, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, well since you don't seem to have responded to my objection about the time-slicing, I'll just comment again that IMO this is just artificially parsing events in order to try to turn one incident into many incidents, when really all we're really seeing is a single event and its aftermath. Hence BLP1E. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 20:46, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The "time slicing" argument is what I am debating. What I presented is evidence that these are all separate events, not one continuum as you argued. - Cwobeel (talk) 21:13, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (marginal redirect?) Seems non-notable BLP1E to me. Also per the previous AFD. (I also wonder why and how an article that was deleted a couple of days ago is back.) Capitalismojo (talk) 13:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • No offense, but your question "...wonder why and how an article that was deleted a couple of days ago is back..." suggests to me a fundamental misunderstanding of the wikipedia's deletion policy. Recreation of previously deleted material is subject to speedy deletion. What we have here is a BRAND NEW DRAFT. User:Cwobeel is on record that he was unaware that there had been a previous version when he or she started this version. This new version shares no passages with the deleted article, so anyone arguing that it be deleted has to participate in a brand new {{afd}}.

      Deletion is supposed to be based on the notability of the topic, not the current state of the article. I suggest either the delete !voters in the first {{afd}} forgot that, or that this is a fast moving topic and additional references arrived in the intervening weeks, that made clear that the topic of Thomas Jackson now measures up to the GNG.

    • As for the repeated nonsense meme that Jackson is a peripheral player in a single event... On the day of the shooting Michael Brown and Darren Wilson were the primary players and Jackson was a peripheral player. But Jackson then made administrative and PR decisions so controversial that he had his authority to Police his own city stripped from him when first the County Police and then the State Police were ordered in. Are you old enough to remember when President Eisenhower had to order in the regular Army to enforce SCOTUS desegregation in Little Rock Arkansas? (Arkansas's Governor had called up the National Guard militia to prevent desegregation.) This kind of event -- higher authority ordering a more senior level of policing to take over from a more junior level of policing -- it is almost unprecedented. It is a brand new event by any logical measure, and Jackson is right at the center of it. Geo Swan (talk) 14:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like the sort of POV editorializing that we reserve for reliable sources. You are essentially saying: there are going to be important sources saying what I just said. Crystal balling.
Also, calling the opposing argument a "nonsense meme" is just silly and childish. I suggest stopping.
I'm sure the point is well-taken about it being an accident that this article was re-created shortly after deletion, but that doesn't mean we need to come up with new reasons to delete if the old ones still apply. The fact that new prose has been generated really doesn't change things. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 15:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Brown has no article because he is dead, and indeed fits BLP1E. Wilson is now in hiding due to concerns about his safety and very little has been reported on him; that will not change in the future regardless of the outcome. Jackson's involvement cannot have been "nonexistent", because we have abundant sources about his involvement. Just read the comments above yours. - Cwobeel (talk) 21:51, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By nonexistent I am referring to the shooting itself. He has involvement with the aftermath, to be sure. Gaijin42 (talk) 21:56, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Brown & Wilson are low profile and BLP1e might apply to them. But Chief Jackson is paid to give interviews, press conferences, etc. He hold a special position of authority. BLP1e isn't made for public figures like celebrities, politicians, or other non-low-profile individuals. Darmokand (talk) 04:40, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable association football club. No references whatsoever. Google failed to find this group, instead bringing up unrelated Atlanta-based groups. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:04, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Speaking as a sports fan and resident of Atlanta, Georgia, this is a non-notable soccer (association football) club. The article is unclear, in fact, to what "FC Atlanta" the article even refers. There are several youth soccer leagues here that apparently use the "FC Atlanta" name as a DBA. What is perfectly clear is that no fully professional soccer team ever operated here as "FC Atlanta." The current professional soccer club in Atlanta is the Atlanta Silverbacks, a fully professional club in the second-tier NASL. Bottom line: subject fails the specific notability guideline applicable to sports teams and other organizations per WP:ORG, and the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.

Heald is a prospective parliamentary candidate and as such fails WP:POLITICIAN. He's an unelected candidate and has not received significant coverage in reliable sources.

  • Delete - seems premature. Articles on minor political candidates are best not created until after the election, when it's clear whether they've won or lost; unsuccessful political candidates are usually not notable unless they have received a particularly significant amount of media attention. This one hasn't, so far. Robofish (talk) 20:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Simply being an as-yet-unelected candidate in an ongoing or future election is not, in and of itself, adequate notability to justify a Wikipedia article under WP:NPOL — either you demonstrate that the candidate was already notable enough to qualify for an article under a different inclusion criterion before they were named a candidate, or they do not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until they win the election.

Biography of a perennial candidate whose claim of notability rests on unsuccessful runs for political office in a single city — not a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NPOL. It's not particularly well-sourced either, as it relies extremely heavily on unreliable (e.g. blogs, local bicycling advocacy committee newsletters) and primary sources (her own Twitter); the number of references here would be more than halved if I actually trimmed them back to the legitimately reliable sources, and when you're counting references, "less than half of 16" is a WP:GNG fail. If this were Austinpedia, I'd let it go — but it's not, and what I'm not seeing here is a substantive or well-sourced reason why she needs an article in an international encyclopedia. Delete.

The nominator's rationale "sounds" like nothing of the sort; it sounds like, and is, "the article relies almost entirely on bad sources". And being a candidate fails WP:NPOL, so coverage of a candidacy has to explode into Christine O'Donnell proportions (which this didn't) to get a candidate into Wikipedia just for being a candidate — and coverage of a person's death doesn't get them past GNG by itself either; people don't qualify for Wikipedia articles just for dying, so if that's where the weight of the sourcing sits then it doesn't get a person over the bar either.

Very Strong Delete. Appears to be written by a fan. Fails WP:NPOL. Her biggest claim to notability IMO appears to be "her" obvious affinity towards LGBT. --Mr. Guye (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd caution you to leave your personal feelings about LGBT people (i.e. scare-quoting a transgender person's gender pronoun) out of it — her gender identity has no bearing, in either direction, on whether she qualifies for an article or not. Bearcat (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ad Orientem.

This is the second time you have proposed that D. W. Cooper be deleted. The first time (in January 2014) I responded, as requested, with a statement on Talk: D. W. Cooper justifying the inclusion of this article.

Before I respond again (but where? I've copied this note to your talk page), I want to be sure that you have read and understood my remarks there. If so, can you please explain further what reasons you have for proposing deletion for a second time?

Thank you. Wfbrooks (talk) 19:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment  WP:BEFORE C3 states, "If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors..."  I agree with the content contributor that the nomination has not sufficiently documented to the community the need for a community discussion.  I suggest that the nominator withdraw the discussion here (with WP:NPASR), and raise the concerns are on the talk page of the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response As there appears to be some confusion, I will expand on my above nomination for deletion statement. The subject of the article does not appear to meet the standards for encyclopedic notability contained in the General Notability Guidelines and more specifically the notability criteria for biographies. The sources are almost entirely primary and thus do not lend themselves to establishing notability for the subject. There is little in the form of coverage from secondary or tertiary sources and certainly not enough to meet the standard of in depth coverage from reliable secondary sources. In short there is nothing exceptional about this person. He was a businessman, one of many tens of thousands, who engaged in the normal things that business people do. Although not a fatal issue, I also note that the article has an essayish tone to it. Most of these issues have been raised previously in the original PROD that was taken down in January in the hopes the article would be improved. I also attached maintenance tags which have been removed without evident correction of the problems cited. While there are many issues with articles that can be fixed, notability is not usually one of them. It's either there or it isn't. A Google has yielded nothing that rings the notability bell for this individual. I am happily prepared to reconsider the nomination if some evidence of notability is offered. But after nine months I see no reason to sit on this any longer. For now I !vote to Delete as the nom. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response to response. Thank you for the clarification. I'm afraid that I'm rather new to Wikipedia, so I don't know all the jargon: what is a "PROD", please? and what are "maintenance tags"?

As for the substance of the question . . . The problem with secondary or tertiary sources, limited to historical publications issued in paper formats, is that they often do not reflect current thinking about a topic. This is especially true of the music industry, in which much scholarship until recently was constrained because archival collections were inaccessible unless one happened to be in the right place with the right credentials. In my view, public databases or archives (such as the Indiana and Brown online resources I cited) are the 21st-century equivalent of secondary sources like published anthologies or encyclopedias in, let's say, 1965. In fact, they're better: they offer a much more objective, quantifiable measure of importance—and hence of notability—than do historical studies written to further a particular argument and which thus (necessarily) take an editorial stance. I would suggest that if a publisher was responsible for a substantial body of significant music that is (nowadays) accessible to the public, as demonstrated in online archives, that publisher is "notable" and deserves an article. I'd also argue that if that publisher is noteworthy in part because his work contributed to the evolution of underrepresented regional or ethnic cultures in the United States, that further supports inclusion. D. W. Cooper meets both these criteria and should consequently remain in Wikipedia, it seems to me. As for an "essayish" tone, possibly that results from my inexperience. I'm very open to editorial advice; can you suggest what sentences or phrases impart this quality and how to improve them?

I've not encountered this process of proposed deletion before; as I said, I'm rather new. It all seems rather threatening and inhospitable, I must say! But your last sentence seems to indicate that some electoral body votes whether to include or remove. I would, of course, vote to include—if I'm a member of that electoral body. Presumably over the next few days others will weigh in on this matter, which at present seems to be mostly a discussion between the two of us (which I welcome, I hasten to say). There is a deadline, I believe, in a week. Could you explain (I do apologise for my ignorance, really I do!) how the voting is tallied at that point and what then happens? I don't find the wikipedia page very clear on that point. Wfbrooks (talk) 16:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi and welcome to Wikipedia (belatedly). I am sorry that your article is in danger of being deleted. It isn't personal. It's just that we have to enforce certain standards since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The term PROD refers to proposed deletion. It is one of the three commonly used methods for removing articles that may not meet our standards. You can read about it here WP:PROD. The other two are speedy deletion (WP:CSD) which is not applicable here, and articles for deletion WP:AFD which is what is going on now. In an AfD discussion interested editors will take a look at the article and discuss whether or not it meets our standards, and if not, whether or not it is fixable or better to just scrap it. Again there is nothing personal about it, although it undoubtedly sucks to have an article you worked on deleted. For now I am going to suggest that you talk to an ADMIN and ask him/her to move your article from the mainspace to a sub-page of your user account or perhaps your WP:SANDBOX. This will remove the immediate threat to your article and allow you time to peruse the notability guidelines linked above and make suitable improvements at your leisure. Then, if and when you think your article is ready, you can submit it to Articles for Creation for review by experienced editors before moving it back into the mainspace. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. If you will agree to this course of action I will withdraw my AfD nomination in consideration of your agreeing to WP:USERFY your article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response. Thank you for the response and the suggestion, though I'm still not very clear about the deletion process. Isn't what you suggest effectively equivalent to deleting the page and starting again from the beginning for approval? I note that on the WP:USERFY page, section 3, this point is made explicitly: "Userfication of an article will effectively amount to deletion of an article, as in general, the redirect left behind will be speedily deleted. Userfication should not be used as a substitute for regular deletion processes." It would seem that the process you suggest to resolve this matter actually accomplishes what you apparently wish to have happen.

I would also really like to have your comments on the substance of my response—that is, the matter of assessing notability using 21st-century resources rather than published secondary sources from a previous century. It seems that a potentially valuable discussion is being diverted into administrative mechanisms that neither resolve the immediate question nor allow larger issues to be debated. But perhaps there is a better forum for the latter; it seems that we two are the only ones contributing to this page, and we seem only to be going round in circles.

In any case I have left a message on the talk page for User:28bytes, who is the first administrator on the list at Wikipedia:List of administrators/Active and who, coincidentally, declares an interest in music articles. Perhaps this will move things forward. I'm heavily committed for the rest of this week, however, so I will have little time to respond further until the weekend.Wfbrooks (talk) 21:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wfbrooks, on the article's talk page you referred to "on-line digital sheet-music repositories at Brown, Indiana, and other institutions". Are these the "21st-century resources" to which you are referring? If so, these are not sufficient by themselves to demonstrate the notability of someone (i.e. a piece of music does not tell us anything about the person who wrote it or published it). Do you have any contemporary sources that discuss Cooper and his impact on music? The article appears to reflect one person's assessment of Cooper based upon pre-1940 material. An important guideline relevant to this discussion is Wikipedia:Notability (music). - Location (talk) 21:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to you both for the information and advice. I did in fact have a timely response, and I've replied on User talk:28bytes. I think there's nothing more to add here. Wfbrooks (talk) 06:10, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are still no sources present that discuss the community, merely lists that mention it as existing. That is insufficient for WP:GNG and we routinely delete articles about Indian communities that have similar failings. Deletion is without prejudice regarding recreation, if ever any decent sources emerge. One has to bear in mind that Indian communities frequently redefine themselves in a process of both fission and fusion, jostling for socio-economic position and political purpose. That is why only a 1000 or so were recorded in the early 1900s but there are now in excess of 4000. We don't have articles on every pressure group or special interest group that has ever existed and we shouldn't have them for every alleged Indian community. - Sitush (talk) 10:32, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete—While I agree with the nom that most academic conferences are routine and non-notable, there are exceptions to the rule and this might be one of them. I've made a cleanup pass on the article's citations. There are three journals that did special issues; that's routine and I don't think it contributes to notability. There was also a fair amount of press coverage. That doesn't happen for routine conferences. Whether that's enough to clear the notability bar, I'm not sure.

    Yes, minor journals will sometimes have special issues showcasing the work from a conference, in lieu of a stand-alone conference proceedings being published. Such special issues can't count toward GNG for the conference because they are not independent of the subject: the (perceived) quality of a conference is bound up with the (perceived) quality of the research presented there.

  • Merge into Dartmouth Conferences. This instance of the conferences is not notable on its own but the 50th conference is potentially worthy of mention in the series article. ~KvnG 16:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think this really belongs there. This isn't part of a series that includes the Dartmouth Conferences; it's an independent gathering that decided it was commemorating them. Commemorations demonstrate the perceived influence of the Dartmouth Conferences, so maybe a brief mention (one sentence or less, along with other events that have commemorated them over the years) could be appropriate.

  • Keep - Notable list of Democratic Party candidates endorsed by Howard Dean for election to various offices in targeted races. I follow American politics closely, and I was not aware of Dean's endorsements and organizational and financial support of Democrat candidates. The existing article does not do justice to the subject and requires some work in terms of describing the activities of Dean's program and better in-line sourcing. That having been said, my Google and Google News Archive searches revealed multiple mainstream media sources discussing the "Dean Dozen" program, as well as the individual candidates that Dean supported through the program, sufficient to support the notability of this list/article per the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG and WP:NLIST.

  • Thanks for review of my article!

According to general notability guideline an article is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article “If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. I totally agree that it is disputable if every of the resources I referred to in this article is reliable and independent, meanwhile I’d like to claim that at least 2 of them are reliable and independent:

  • TopTen Reviews. I believe they provide unbiased reviews. Please, see their third-party product reviews methodology http://www.toptenreviews.com/methodology.html
  • About.com. I believe the article I refer to not marked as sponsored. When according to About.com Advertising Policy (http://www.about.com/gi/pages/ethics.htm ) “All "native" ads or paid content are identified as an "Ad," "Advertisement," "Sponsored" or a similar designation indicating that the content is being provided by or on behalf of the sponsor.” So, assume content I refer to as not sponsored and worth of reference to.

  • Keep/comment - The previous AFD for this was only closed THREE weeks earlier. I have looked on Highbeam and found 17 articles from January 2012 through to March 2014 (so ongoing coverage) specifically about her, albeit in papers like The Mirror, The Sunday Mirror and The Daily Mail (although this does show she IS considered of ongoing interest to the lowest common denominator.) The articles are also spaced out every few months, rather than a single-event style flurry, which is evidence of ongoing coverage, and quite a few of the Mirror ones are in-depth, with over 700+ words. I think she certainly passes general notability standards although the article needs fixing up, and bearing in mind the previous AFD was closed as keep, attempts should have been made to fix before renominating so quickly. Mabalu (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Highbeam doesn't include the Irish sources, of which I see another half dozen or so on a quick Google. She has certainly attracted attention as a victim of Internet bullying (I know how she feels - had the fake dating profile stunt done to me recently!) and although there is certainly a widespread school of thought that interviews are trivial and/or do not confer notability, I think the fact that such papers - with massive readership and circulation - are interviewing her (and not as part of bigger articles, but as the sole subject) is significant in itself. I had a look at WP:NMODEL and I imagine that the "has been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media" is the criteria here that the previous arguments were referring to. She has certainly received ongoing coverage over a sufficient length of time to show GNG. You know, I can't actually see ANYTHING anywhere actually saying interviews do or don't count. Mabalu (talk) 17:30, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Comment - I didn't look at the date of the AfD - that was a mistake. Upjav (talk) 13:06, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What I will say, though, is that the previous AfD lacked participation and developed comments regarding rationale for the keep, which had a role in my renomination. As for Shahira Barry's sources, half are Blogspot/YouTube-esque sources, and the rest are borderline notable. Much of her argued notability comes from her affiliation with Playboy and that sort of quasi-inherited notability. Upjav (talk) 15:40, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete It wouldn't take much for this person to meet WP:GNG. Most of the articles on her are from the Daily Mirror, and there are a couple others... but they're almost all interviews (not secondary or independent). It's almost all gossip-type journalism or Page 3 type stuff. What's more, the article as written is pretty severely promotional, and most of the footnotes fail verification. This is a problem article that needs a lot of work. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 16:51, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another perfect example of CFORK and again another song article which fails WP:GNG and WP:NSONGS. There is absolutely no independent third party coverage except minor mentions in album reviews and those taken from the album's own liner notes. Minor chart placement and no live performances either. This should be deleted or best, redirected to parent album, Talk That Talk. The song being listed as a GA has no qualms on its status as an independent article. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 18:28, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. Jinkinson talk to me 20:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry to burst your bubble, Calvin, but charts/live performances are moot when most if not all secondary sources covering the song are album reviews. WP:NSONGS specifically states that articles should not be made for songs with no third-party coverage outside of album reviews. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:02, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Live performances isn't mentioned anywhere in the criterion that you are going by. It has no impact. Charting is charting, no matter how good or bad. So obvious what is going on here.  — ₳aron 22:13, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • My point is that charts are not automatic indicators of notability, regardless of chart positions, particularly when source(s) for the chart positions only mention the track itself briefly. The most crucial aspects are having multiple secondary sources giving coverage independent of the album, and having enough information on the track itself to expand beyond a stub. It is true that the notability criteria for songs says nothing about live performances, but it does state that album review coverage isn't enough. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:22, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just to highlight in this criterion, "Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song." That would imply that even live performance would not indicate its notability fully. Also Calvin, can you explain how this almost start class article is valid as a separate article when all of its content can be easily present and merged to Talk That Talk? CFORK is also a bigger question that you need to address. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 05:24, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, that's what you are interpreting it to say. As Snuggums agreed, live performances is not mentioned anywhere. Because it's too long to include on the album article for a sub section.  — ₳aron 08:14, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No I'm not interpreting anything. You are failing to explain how this song is notable, except saying that it is too long to be included in TTT. That is not a valid reason for creating a separate article which does not pass NSONGS. There is no content in this article that is not present/cannot be included in the parent album article, and that does not include the passing mentions in album review. I'm explaining to you how the mere live performance of a song also does not make it notable, and that does not necessarily mean for this song. Also, these weird statements like charting is charting again does not bode well for discussion. What do you mean by that? The charts are not an indicator for GNG or NSONGS. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 09:43, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just to make you see the comparison, "Cold Case Love" is not nominated for deletion because i has independent third party notability about the song. Multiple references indicate the triggering factor here, inspite of the song not charting. This is a case where NSONGS pass. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 09:54, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand, you don't need to spell it out. But no matter how much you dress it up, Cold Case Love has all of it's composition/critical reception made up from album reviews.  — ₳aron 13:32, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no intention of spelling anything out for you, but CCL has its background and much of its composition from independent third party sources. But thats WP:WAX lets concentrate on this one.

  • Merge and redirect or delete. These very minor chart appearances do not confer notability. The article feels very empty, taking a lot of words to say very little- there's nothing in this article which could not be briefly covered in the album article. J Milburn (talk) 22:01, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, or merge and redirect to article for parent album. Chart peaks alone do not establish notability, and as stated explicitly in the notability guidelines the subject in question must be covered by reliable, third-party sources outside of album reviews. The most informative details of this article could easily be merged into the Talk That Talk article. Holiday56 (talk) 16:19, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Series of non notable national beauty pageants.

  • Keep all  We don't have "Find sources" templates and Template:la (link article) for 25 of the 26 articles listed.  As for evidence of non-notability, the nomination stipulates to only "having checked a few", and there is no evidence of WP:BEFORE D1 for the four titles mentioned.  The nomination needs to have analyzed the alternatives to deletion, as it is given that there is a wp:notable international main pageant, and it is certainly not obvious why these topics should be deleted and can't be merged.  The simple rule is: if there is no one willing to do the work to prepare the community for a deletion discussion, there is no need for a deletion discussion.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:11, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That has to be a list of some of the most unconvincing keep reasons ever. Keep because you don't get the automatic "find sources" template? Really? And D1? Do you want me to perform a Google Books search for these? You are aware that Google Books results appear in regular Google as well? Bloating the nomination with things like 0 results and 0 results? Of course, there isn't even one book source about the international competition[38], so expecting them for the national qualifications is a bit optimistic. Please treat WP:BEFORE with some common sense and not as gospel. Merging these is useless, I suppose you mean redirecting as there is nothing worth merging anyway. Lower level competitions don't get kept because the top-level competition is notable, so why should this be any different? Fram (talk) 07:16, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all a beauty pageant of the scale of Miss Grand (country) is notable. Passes WP:NEVENT. --Mr. Guye (talk) 20:45, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Above you object to the due process protections that require nominations to include evidence of a lack of sources, but here you want evidence and assert that closing admins will require such.  Are you claiming that closing admins treat keep !votes with standards unlike those that apply to delete nominations?  Unscintillating (talk) 00:10, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did provide evidence, I objected to your burocratic statement that "we don't have the find sources templates for all of them". Having a template added to every nominated article would be no evidence of anything (positive or negative), but rejecting a nomination for such a reason is kindergarten behaviour. And in any case, I can't prove that there are no sources or notability, I can only state that I looked and didn't find the required evidence of notability, and I have given sufficient examples of where and how I looked. But the opposite, claims that the pageants are notable, should be shown with evidence. That's standard AfD behaviour, yes. When someone claims it meets NEVENT, then they should provide some pointers to the coverage required in NEVENT. Fram (talk) 06:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It doesn't sound odd at all. It appears to be a landmark in Montana, as are a number of other inscribed rocks in the United States west (e.g. Initial Rock in North Dakota for one), and I believe that there will exist numerous mentions in historic, off-line sources. It is a place, like a GNIS location, and a short article identifying it is highly appropriate. Or, it could be redirected / merged to Leopold Hohman#Homan's Rock. This AFD should have been opened as part of a multiple-AFD, so perhaps this should be closed procedurally in favor of a multiple one. --doncram 17:12, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • A "landmark" without any sources about it? That's not a landmark, that's a non notable rock. And no, when you have three items with different possible notability (e.g. the telegraph station could have turned out to be notable, that wouldn't mean that this rock was notable), then three AfDs is better.

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

This article has been unsourced for around six years and is written in a subjective, essayish style. If there is an article to be written on this topic, it is clear that this is not it. I do not believe that this is a fit subject for an encyclopedia, any more than "sporting exellence" or "adequacy at teaching" would be, and my searches for sourcing for this topic bears that out. Reyk YO! 06:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Agreed that "business excellence" is not a named thing, and therefore not suitable for WP. There is a full article on Malcolm_Baldrige_National_Quality_Award, so the removal of this article has no effect on that information. The other methodology mentioned here, EFQM has a poorly-sourced article that links to this one via "business excellence" and has problems of WP:SPA and WP:COI. That is unfortunate because the article is about a European non-profit that promotes business and seems to have a reasonably long history that may be worthy of an article. I would say to leave that article in place in with its "multiple issues" banner and hope that it is improved. LaMona (talk) 15:24, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a provincial park. The BC Parks website has no information about this park and no other sources other than a book from 1987 support this park's existence. According to direct correspondence with BC Parks staff, this 6 hectare area was repealed in 2006. I'm not sure this area is notable enough to have its own page stating that it is a former park.

  • Redirect (revised from Merge, revised from Keep). I revised the article slightly. There are in fact some former parks and many other former places having articles; see Category:Former parks and open spaces of London‎ and Category:Former places, which I believe includes many many many former buildings and structures, too. I think a former BC provincial park is likely unusual. Provincial or state or national parks are treated best like high schools, where we assume notability and it is not worth debating whether current sources are entirely satisfactory. For this park, there must have been legislation or other actions justifying a proposal, then creating the park and then eventually there must have been reasons to de-park it, say if it was destroyed environmentally and then deemed non-park-worthy. Perhaps it was renamed or subsumed into another park, in which case a redirect might be appropriate when it is sorted out. Whatever the story, it is surely documented somewhere (although apparently not on in sources easily found on the internet). Offline sources are fine. Keep this, like we automatically keep high schools. --doncram 02:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum: "Kledo Creek Park" is identified in Google maps and other map services. You can see it right on the Alaska Highway, 54.2 km west of Fort Nelson, British Columbia. The park exists. The article should perhaps be moved from "Kledo Creek Provincial Park" to "Kledo Creek Park', but that is for anyone to simply move, or could be discussed at the Talk page; it is not an AFD issue. --doncram 03:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

However, as it stands I am concerned that a UHaul guidebook and a bike route map are inadequate sources, and everything else online exists because it flagged this Wikipedia article. I directly contacted BC Parks (the management agency for provincial parks in British Columbia) about this park and received this response: "This 6 hectare area is no longer a provincial park. It was repealed in 2006, but the location is along highway 97, approx half way between Stone Mountain Park and Fort Nelson in the Peace River Land District." So based on this personal communication (which cannot be cited on Wikipedia), it appears this park was deemed non-park-worthy. The location that appears as Kledo Creek Park appears to be correct, but I have no idea where this name came from or if it is still a park in any form. I tried to check the history of the object in Google Map Maker, but found nothing more than that the area had been deleted and probably shouldn't be showing up on the map. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 03:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the bill that repealed the park [39] with some additional detail here. It appears that the park was originally called "Kledo Creek Park" (without "provincial"). At most this is a former park, and not a park at present. The Street View imagery shows no entrance to the where the park should be, and definitely no campground as the guidebook states. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 03:39, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) I don't have access to any Canadian historical newspaper literature service, which I am guessing would probably provide coverage of the park's creation and/or de-registration. In an academic database, I find a couple articles studying spruce budworm deforestation that study the Kledo Creek area as well as other parts of Fort Nelson Forest District. There's a map from Fort Nelson west along the 97 that shows maximum impact of deforestation that runs through the Kledo Creek Park. Major deforestations happened in 1955, in 1990, and various other years, and there are big implications apparently for forest management. So this is speculation, but perhaps the forest there was destroyed by bugs and/or logging, and then it was de-parked?

Still, whatever the story, i think it should be covered more when someone can get the sources, and I think the article should be kept. thanks --doncram 03:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Further, I grant that it does seem to be a former campground. Using Google street view, i can find my way to entrance and sign for another campground, Tetsa River Provincial Park, with entrance sign visible here in Google street view, but mostly like Fredlyfish4 says, there seems to be no entrance sign to a campground at Kledo Creek from Google street view. Here however is the entrance, unmarked, just a hundred meters or so past crossing of Kledo Creek (which is marked). So my guess now is that it is federal or province land, and on a river and adjacent to the 97 highway, but otherwise not greatly different than other land around. Still, once a park, like a high school, then best just to keep it, documenting it very simply as a former park, and it is as best we can tell still a "place", and potentially where some will want to stop to go fish or to picnic or to camp even if it is not an official campground. Actually providing this info is a small service to readers who can potentially be looking for it, coming from the Google map mention or other mentions, on the level of a redirect or a disambiguation page but just a bit better, and no big deal. --doncram 12:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I revised my !vote to merge (then to redirect), above. It could be redirected to a "Former parks" section in List of British Columbia Provincial Parks. I opened discussion about adding that section, at Talk:List of British Columbia Provincial Parks. Likewise for other not-very-notable current BC parks that have articles, those could be redirected to the List-article. I think the proper close is "Merge" rather than "Redirect" here, as technically we would merge the small amount of info available about this park, e.g. the sources about the law de-commissioning the park, to the list-article. --doncram 20:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. Given the above discussions, and as the nominator of this article for deletion, I now support redirecting and merging this and other similar former parks to the list of BC parks. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 01:52, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Okay, thanks, then that means there are no remaining "delete" voters and this could be closed. I agree about those other former parks, those could be treated the same, being sure to use the source in adding mention to the Former Provincial Parks section, and redirecting, and AFDs are not necessary.

The other way round. A full Professor in countries where a professorship is a very senior position with responsibility for a substantial department as well as being the academic lead as in the UK , has been deemed by custom and practice to be intrinsically notable. In many other countries the title Professor is used for roles that might elsewhere be called senior lecturers. The lack of a role as a Professor does not mean that the person is not notable, only that there needs to be robust and reliable references to demonstrate their notability.  Velella  Velella Talk   07:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think Velella is right. Is not only the professorship what really counts. I made a little research and I found that Cobo's work on Technology and Education has been published in nearly 20 newspapers/magazines (i.e. Le Monde Diplomatique); but with main concentration in the Spanish speaking world: El País (Spain); El Clarín (Argentina); La Crónica (México), El Mercurio (Chile), etc. (references available) If included I think that need to be added. Having a closer look at his profile I think Thelmadatter is also right when suggested that 'The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education' his record of work with a large number of Higher Education institutions is evident.Stgiles1 (talk) 13:25, 3 September 2014 (UTC) Stgiles1 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment - I think that Thelmadatter is right. In the Spanish speaking world, Cobo is an important figure in educational innovation, which is why he is in demand as a consultant for the governments of various countries such as Ecuador, Mexico and Chile.

As the Kuwait League is not an FPL not sure how this fulfills NFOOTY spirit. Also, can you point to where he played, I can only find reference to his brother and he doesn't seem to be in the current squad for Al-Arabi as far as I can see.

  • Comment - What coverage? Where? The link in the article is dead as are the ones to the match reports in the AFC Champions League article. Also match reports as WP:ROUTINE coverage do not convey notability as they are, by definition not about any particular player. Can you find any links to interview, reports on the player's career / private life? I am struggling. Additionally, with only 48 appearances according to the article in 8 years I would suggest his involvement in any trophy wins was minimal, aside from the fact that those "wins" are wholly unsourced.

WP:BLP of a structural engineer, which basically just asserts his existence without offering any substantive reason why an encyclopedia needs to document his existence — and while it's not completely unsourced, one of its two sources is a primary one (and a deadlink at that). I'm assuming, based on the timing of this article's creation, that his participation in a BBC investigation of the Statutory Repairs, Edinburgh scandal is why the article was created — but that claim in and of itself doesn't justify a standalone BLP that's this poorly sourced, when merely mentioning his name in the main article on the scandal, without linking it to a separate BLP1E, serves the exact same purpose.

Yet another WP:BLP of a person whose only substantive claim of notability is his candidacy in a party primary for an upcoming election. As always, candidates are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot adequately demonstrate that they were already notable enough for a Wikipedia article before they became a candidate, then they must win the election, not merely run in it, to qualify. And I mean the general election, not just the primary. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but he's not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime.

Under WP:POLITICIAN I think Seth qualifies as a major local political figure with significant press coverage. The RI treasurer is a surprisingly powerful position which has launched the incumbent into the national spotlight (probably more significant than governor last term). This race is a battle between a scion of a national democratic family and a very RI political family. Lots of TV coverage, though our pathetic local paper doesn't generate a lot of primary source material. While article is clearly initiated by the person or his campaign it sticks to the facts. No personal connection, just a voter the day before the primary researching candidates.Jes1974 (talk) 02:33, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions, per WP:CRYSTAL. If you cannot adequately demonstrate and source that he was already notable enough to have an article before he was a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for an article until he wins the election, regardless of how "likely" anybody thinks his victory is or isn't. There have been many elections over the years in which the candidate who appeared "likely" or "certain" to win actually lost, for one reason or another; there have been some elections in which the candidate died before election day; and there have been many elections in which the question of which candidate was likelier to win depended on which pundits you chose to believe. I'd have no objection to sandboxing this for future retrieval, if his victory's really that likely — but advance predictions about the likelihood of his eventual victory have no bearing on our inclusion rules, because advance predictions don't always pan out accurately. Bearcat (talk) 05:24, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even if he doesn't win, I'm confident that there's enough coverage in reliable sources found in the article and after a cursory search to pass WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN: [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51]. Tiller54 (talk) 14:09, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's a longstanding principle of AFD that except in extremely rare circumstances on the order of the international media firestorm that swallowed Christine O'Donnell, coverage of a candidate's campaign itself does not contribute to whether the candidate gets over WP:GNG or not. Local media have an obligation to cover local elections, so campaign coverage is not a thing that some candidates get and others don't — all candidates always get media coverage, so our policy of not allowing unelected candidates to have articles would be completely nullified and we'd have to keep every article about every unelected candidate in every election. Rather, campaign-related coverage falls under WP:BLP1E and WP:ROUTINE — short of an O'Donnell scenario, if the candidate didn't already meet an inclusion rule before they became a candidate, then coverage of the campaign itself cannot boost their encyclopedic notability at all.

Biography of a person notable only as a political assistant and "doorkeeper", with no substantive claim of notability that would actually get him past WP:NPOL and not nearly enough sourcing to put him over WP:GNG either.

Fancruft article made in good faith, but is redundant. The content is just a copy and paste of other biographical articles. Everything else not notable because it is either unsourced, or sourced to a primary source. E.g.

Note/Keep

Probably going to add to this note later, but for now I have to ask... "really?"

E.g. Reddit user page, youtube videos, subjects own website etc.

So 1 Reddit user page, 3 youtube videos (+1 other YT link), subjects own website (so 1 Tumblr user page, and 1 link to Elliott's website) is just supposed to be the basis for deletion? Those references, along with 1 SourceFed ref, and 2 Revision3 references, add up to 10. So I'm guessing the other 32 just don't count? Even though they're from sources such as Forbes, Tubefilter, Huffington Post, the CEA Blog, IGN, and PBS? In regards to the other 10 references, I'm almost entirely sure that the usage of those references do not directly violate WP:USINGSPS. All 42 references combine to establish the notability of this article. I feel like other points could be corrected, which could lead to portions of the article being reworded or rewritten but it shouldn't be deleted. Soulbust (talk)

SF, R3, cea, IGN, PBS are all primary sources, they all worked together in an official capacity. You haven't explained why it's not redundant. None of the sources discuss the subjects as a group, and even then only some are actually about the subjects being hosts in the show. So you've just made a list of biographies. Using every possible primary source doesn't make it notable.--Otterathome (talk) 19:52, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I already agreed that SF and R3 are primary sources. Either way, it still has Huff Post, Forbes and Tubefilter refs, along with other references. The article is not just a copy+paste of other articles. For those hosts that already have their own articles, it includes information in a condensed form, and includes links to their own articles. For those hosts who do not have their own articles, it includes information on them too, in a similarly condensed form. It does speak about the hosts as a group, and if you believe it doesn't, you could always offer advice on how to form a section in the article that speaks about them as a group, or do it yourself. I'm working on one currently. Soulbust (talk) 00:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To my knowledge, primary sources are not disallowed on wikipedia. This article also includes a solid amount non-primary sources, so I still do not know how this article can be deleted on those grounds. Soulbust (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • It certainly can. "Redirect" is a slightly different form of "Delete", whereby a redirect is left behind after deletion. It can also be transwikied; but not to Wikidata or Wikiversity. (Wikidata's nature does not support this anyway.) However, if you mean merged instead of redirected, no, thanks to WP:NOTCHANGELOG. Forcing readers to read such a list is cruel anyway. (I still have occasional nightmares about those stupid tables we have to memorize in school, only to forget them after the exam.) Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 01:25, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I meant exactly what I said. If I had meant to use the word "merge", I would have done so. Wikiversity will accept almost anything that is outside the scope of the other projects. In what way would this conflict with Wikiversity's content policies? James500 (talk) 02:09, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, great. I love people who are careful about choosing their words. I wish there were more people like. The majority of people so far care-freely used "redirect" to mean "merge and redirect" and "notability" to mean "fame", "due weight" or lots of other thing. I certainly didn't say meant policy conflict; only Software Wiki seems a more appropriate target and Wikiversity like the least suitable target. (Refer to the nightmare part of my last message.) But please, suit yourself. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 05:46, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Software Wiki is not a WMF project, so we will not send the content there. As far as transwiki is concerned, Wikiversity is probably the only candidate. Redirection is not normally preceded by page deletion. The content would be preserved in the page history because NOTCHANGELOG isn't a grounds for revision deletion. The reason for this is probably that we don't like to delete information that we might conceivably want to use later (WP:R and WP:PRESERVE). The mere existence of a list doesn't force anyone to read it and cruelty to readers isn't a grounds for deletion or anything else. James500 (talk) 07:49, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The three alleged references are general archaeological sources, two of them probably little better than blogs, but I cannot find the subject in them. As a matter of policy, we do not have pages on every listed building, not should we have one on every archaeological site. This does not sound like an important site to me.

A made up title ("Princess Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Dessau") and lots of genealogy, but no indication of any sort of notability. She existed, had a title and family.

  • Comment Actually, "Princess Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Dessau" is exactly how a polite pedant of her time would have referred to her. In practice, usage was more casual, so she would normally have been referred to as "Princess Frederick of Anhalt", which does actually find contemporary sources when used as a search term - (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL). Having said that, while the daughter of one sovereign duke, the sister-in-law of another, mother-in-law of a Grand Duke of Luxembourg and aunt of the then Princess of Wales (and godmother of one of her daughters) could almost certainly be shown to pass WP:GNG by someone with access to an extensive archive of 19th-century newspapers and willingness to spend a few days trawling through their social columns, I am not going to bother. PWilkinson (talk) 15:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not certain that even "someone with access to an extensive archive of 19th-century newspapers" would be able to show that this person is notable. It would be helpful if you could at least point to two sources showing that Princess Frederick of Anhalt herself (not just her family) has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If she was notable, I would have expected Google Books to return more than a couple of passing mentions [52]. --Edcolins (talk) 08:41, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible hoax? The only refs I could find online were to Facebook and the creator shares the same name. Either way it still is unreferenced. (Plus the dates are all this year) Wgolf (talk) 04:18, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete - G3 (hoax) - How could a member of parliament have:
  1. No links to it (All members of parliament would be linked from at least one other article (the electorate/division page) and this ones an orphan)
  2. No reliable sources - the electoral commission would have him listed as a member
  3. His apparent electorate (Vadodara East) doesn't exist.

Also:

  1. No mention on Bharatiya Janata Party the party is apparently vice-president.
  2. This ones the real humdinger: Article says Patel in chairman of the Indian airpot authority, official Indian airpot authority clearly states; "Chairman: S. Raheja"

-Ha ha (someone should put this on the Wikipedia Hoax page). I did have it as a prod until I looked at all of the dates). Wgolf (talk) 04:49, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Wgolf:, This is fun. One more: List of members of the 16th Lok Sabha Does not list him as an elected member of the 16th Lok Sabha which the article says he is in. Oh and considering the user who wrote this name is Smeetesh Patel it is almost almost certainty a hoax. NickGibson3900 Talk 04:54, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now ironically it isn't one ha ha, I thought it was when I noticed the name also lol. Wgolf (talk) 04:55, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a puff piece created by blocked spammer User:Sentryparentalcontrols. The puff piece is about some software. I am unconvinced that the software was ever notable. Worse yet, the company doesn't appear to sell the software anymore.

Software is created. Spammers spam Wikipedia to advertise the software. The software is discontinued, and fades away, like smoke dispersing into the wind. But the Wikipedia article remains until someone deletes it. It's time for us to delete the article.

Delete per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION and/or per WP:IAR.

  • Keep. I can't find out whether it's still sold or not - Amazon returns 'not currently available' or something like that. But the US Federal Trade Commission filed a suit against it (privacy, deceptive selling practices) and that issue has coverage in two books, I added those as refs in the article along with two FTC site refs. Two book mentions ("enduring coverage"), the coverage of the FTC suit, and the Daily Telegraph article suffice for GNG, as I see it. Novickas (talk) 15:07, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Novickas, for adding the FTC info. However, most of the article is still promotional, like the "must have" part. If the FTC section could be fitted into Computer_surveillance then this article could be a delete LaMona (talk) 17:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's an idea...but I don't see any section in Computer_surveillance, as it's currently written, that it would fit into. There do seem to be a fair number of articles out there about consumer surveillance software [53]. (It needs a section on that, no? But I'm not up to creating it.) Most of them address completely inadvertent surveillance. Like this [54]. I'd support a Redirect if someone does expand the Computer Surveillance article to include a section where someone could reasonably put ref'd info about this product. A redirect preserves the article and its refs. But it doesn't make any sense without a dedicated section about it in the target article. I don't know how often Merge outcomes are affirmed at AFD and I wonder how often the merged material then ends up getting lost. So, pending the inclusion of the referenced material, which I see as worthwhile, into some other article, I'd prefer to keep it. Novickas (talk) 18:58, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment while it was briefly covered in the trade, it doesn't appear to meet general notability guidelines. I'm unaware of specific software criteria, but think it's borderline at best. A redirect to its industry might be warranted. StarM 02:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability, and inherently unlikely to be notable, given that it's just one of hundreds of anime wallpaper websites, which happens to have made a website theme. The article also mostly reads like promotion for that theme and Zenphoto, the article for which was deleted for lack of notability. —innotata 03:05, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
