- Delete as per nom - Fails PORNBIO & GNG. –Davey2010Talk 01:52, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:PORNBIO #2 ("starred in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature"). She starred in Les Vampyres, which in 2001, won Best Film at the XRCO Awards and Best Movie (USA) at the Venus Awards. Syren's Best Actress nomination for this film proves that she did indeed star, not just appeared in, but starred in it, otherwise she would have received a Best SUPPORTING Actress nomination instead had her role been minor. Rebecca1990 (talk) 05:04, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Where are the sources describing this film as iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster? If its just your opinion, then that's nonsense. Spartaz Humbug! 20:08, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, fails PORNBIO and the GNG per the nominator's accurate assessment. The "iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster" standard of PORNBIO#2 sets a high bar, and demands confirmation of that status in reliable, independent sources (see, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patricia Rhomberg and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Madelyn Marie (2nd nomination). Particular porn industry awards, standing alone, generally aren't even sufficient to establish notability, let alone the higher standard of PORNBIO2.

- Comparison of Roku boxes (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)
This page is a POVsplit created by a user that was canvassed[1]to Roku. This seems to have been created with the express purpose of WP:FORUMSHOPPING the discussion in the yet to be closed rfc (at Roku) here. -Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 21:55, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- This is not a WP:POVSPLIT, I created it as a summary-style split aimed at keeping Roku focused and to avoid WP:UNDUE.
- The WP:FORUMSHOPPING and WP:CANVASSING accusations are unsubstantiated and have little to no bearing on whether or not this article should be deleted. ~Kvng (talk) 14:52, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- They are substantiated. The link I provided links to the canvass you came from. Forumshopping though, I note I used the word seem. I wonder what the use of the word seem could suggest in the English language? The evidence again in the provided link. Now people can look at the RFC that has now been closed and see that creating a POVsplit to bring the conversation to AFD was never necessary as the closed RFC shows a consensus to keep. And BTW, being a POVsplit is the reason that it should be deleted. POVsplit, as in improper content fork. The canvassing and all was why this was created.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing about the list makes the Roku article undue and there is no reason for a size split. This is simply a POVsplit.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 16:53, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- I have not made any modifications to the well-established material I copied from Roku history to create this article. If it is a POV slit then the only POV I could be accused of bringing is a belief that the material should be kept. Yes, I beleive the material should be kept. I have now !voted as such below. ~Kvng (talk) 20:07, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- On an interesting note, I have not suggested that anything was modified. It's a POVfork because was specifically created to make an end run around the consensus making process. There's a great semantics argument there but I'm actually interested in talking about nothing with you. You created article lacks notability to exist separately from it's parent article. There is no actual justification for your split. There's no present undue weight. No reason for a size split. There's not even a reason for you end tun around the consensus making process. The result of the RFC as closed by an actual uninvolved editor was to keep. Funny how the consensus making process can seem to work even when there are super heros campaigned into save the day for a noob.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

:Delete per WP:IINFO, and lack of secondary sources cited. Mdann52 (talk) 06:15, 30 September 2015 (UTC) Withdrawing in line with RfC result. Mdann52 (talk) 19:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Please explain why you think WP:IINFO applies here. There are many All pages with titles beginning with Comparison of articles on Wikipedia. What specifically makes this one worthy of deletion? I'm not making an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument here, just requesting more specifics on why you consider this information indiscriminate; None of the examples at WP:IINFO seem to directly apply here.
- I count 12 independent sources on this article. That does not square with your claim of no secondary sources. Please help me understand this discrepancy. ~Kvng (talk) 14:52, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. The article contains useful information that is appropriate for Wikipedia and supported by a variety of reliable sources. These attributes make it irrelevant whether the article is perceived to be the result of a WP:POVSPLIT or WP:FORUMSHOPPING. Lambtron (talk) 16:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. This article contains information that is useful for readers. Damicatz (talk) 18:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Not a WP:POVSPLIT (see comments above). Consensus to keep this material has recently been reached at Talk:Roku#RfC:_Should_the_Feature_comparison_table_be_restored.3F. It is well sourced, has ample indications of notability and NPOV. Allegations of WP:CANVASSING (the bad kind) and WP:FORUMSHOPPING are untrue and irrelevant to the fate of this article. ~Kvng (talk) 19:56, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Merge to Roku. Consensus indicates that the table should be included in the Roku article per the RfC. While probably not a POV Split as it is neutral, it is still an unacceptable WP:SPINOFF as "[Summary style splits] must not be an attempt to evade the consensus process at another article." This article is the embodiment of evading the consensus process:
Above discussion [the RfC] does not appear to be converging. I have created Comparison of Roku boxes with content deleted from this article. If this is not a satisfactory solution, let's continue the discussion at WP:AFD. ~Kvng (talk) 20:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Note that the RfC was not even closed when this article was created. Kvng made the article with the express purpose of going around the consensus-making process and to move the discussion of the content from the active RfC to here at AFD. The RfC process found consensus that the table should be included in the Roku article. Because of that consensus says the table, and that the split was an attempt to evade that very process, the page should be merged into Roku and this page redirected or deleted. Wugapodes (talk) 15:02, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- The question posed in this AfD is whether or not Comparison of Roku boxes should be deleted. Perhaps it would be best to address that by declaring a keep/delete preference here and then later, when this AfD is closed, creating a merge proposal at one of the affected articles (Roku or Comparison of Roku boxes). That would avoid a potentially confusing mingling of two different proposals. Lambtron (talk) 15:38, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- An AfD is not a binary discussion, per WP:DISCUSSAFD a number of stances are common including merge, redirect, and I've even seen userfy a number of times (but mostly at MfD). This is reinforced by Wikipedia:Deletion process#Other outcomes which shows that a number of possibilities exist beyond the keep/delete binary. Wugapodes (talk) 16:18, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't say you did anything wrong and I have no opinion about merging; I was merely suggesting that we avoid concurrent merge discussions in different places. Lambtron (talk) 16:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- If discussion here results in a Keep consensus, we can always do a merge back into Roku later as a separate step. Those advocating Keep should not feel like this position excludes the possibility of getting the material back into Roku. ~Kvng (talk) 16:35, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- That makes sense -- it didn't occur to me that an AfD Keep consensus would make a later merge impossible. I see now why it's useful to have two separate discussions about merging (though I'm unsure about which discussion I should spent time on). Lambtron (talk) 18:18, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- From a reader's perspective, Roku and Comparison of Roku boxes are in pretty good shape at the moment. Edit wars are over. More discussion is probably not necessary. ~Kvng (talk) 20:22, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

You don't actually make merge discussions in a different place. And instead of voting for keep if you feel it necessary to merge you simply just vote merge. And since the RFC at Roku ended with a consensus to keep the table, crazy enough, the material would have to go back in the article in the event of a delete vote.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Procedural merge back to main article and continue to work it out on its talk page. No need to have this conversation in two places. I recommend keeping the discussion on topic. czar 16:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Consensus indicated that the table should be included in the Roku article per the RfC. After merger, additional appropriate discussion, if any, can take place on its own talk page. This article's creation was improvident. --Bejnar (talk) 20:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

- Delete part of COI / promo sockfarm cleanup. Appears to fail GNG per effort above. Widefox; talk 01:51, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete This article has existed since 2008 and despite receiving a relatively high number of edits, it's never been able to demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. That being said, this article is highly suspicious. This article and a few related articles such as Above & Beyond (band) seem unusually organized and updated despite almost no activity on the talk page and a variety of editors and IPs. As Widefox suggests, this could be a professional attempt through a sock farm though I have no direct evidence to support this statement other than a precursory look at a few of the editors and the article edit history. Mkdwtalk 03:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- Sockfarm Yes. I've tagged some of the connected accounts on some of the talk pages. This is at least ten accounts and many IPs. Can an admin take to SPI as once the articles start being deleted then submitting to SPI is more difficult (real world intervenes else I'd attempt myself). Widefox; talk 09:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

- Merge with the recently deleted Anjunabeats article. They aren't notable enough to have separate articles however enough to have a presence on Wikipedia. 15:54, 26 September 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.55.127.254 (talk)
- Merge target is bad - deleted. Widefox; talk 11:31, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:BEFORE. My primary concern is that editors' unfamiliarity with the trance genre is leading them to misjudge "notability"—many of these articles admittedly need a ton of cleanup but are covering notable subjects, I mean how famous does a label have to be to qualify? Yet Anjunabeats was deleted. They have a lot of big names like Mat Zo, Super8 & Tab, or Jerome Isma-Ae. Widefox, you've tagged 15 trance-related articles with multiple improvement tags and (sometimes simultaneously) proposed them for deletion. Researching sources and writing content is much harder than drive-by tagging; give us a chance to fix these articles before wiping them out, please?! In the name of WP:BEFORE? And maybe restore Anjunabeats so we can get that into shape also? And maybe also have an actual investigation to formally determine whether there's an actual sockfarm here or just a bunch of enthusiasts? (Which until now hasn't been me, don't think I've ever edited a trance-related page yet but I will be now, so please no accusation's I'm a sock too.) Metadox (talk) 10:00, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Metadox That "primary concern" is misjudged in itself - comment on content and sources rather than speculating on what other editors may or may not know. Widefox; talk 11:31, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Widefox Fair enough, but, well, your reason for proposing to delete [A State of Trance] was questioning its notability and that's been basically the top trance radio show for over a decade, so much that people mutter about Armin van Buuren having too much influence over the genre. I expect most people visiting that page wouldn't bother to even question its notability, thus not worrying about proving it. And, ok, flag it as needing the references to back that up, but then please also give it a chance to receive those necessary improvements—and the more flags you drop in, the more time it'll need to fix—before mowing through the genre on a deletionist crusade. I'll relabel as my "primary concern" what I've also mentioned already: in the name of WP:BEFORE please give these articles a reasonable span of time for improvement before trying to delete them all. Metadox (talk) 11:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Some pointers - see WP:V, WP:N / WP:GNG. (and for claims above {{whom}} {{peacock}}, {{cn}}) Widefox; talk 13:03, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Words like "crusade", "deletionist" don't help here. See WP:ILIKEIT , WP:BURDEN and WP:AGF.
- As explained - this is cleanup due to a promo sockfarm (multiple accounts and IPs). Widefox; talk 11:58, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- User:Metadox, in case this isn't clear, I'm waiting for a sign that not only you've understood you cannot make these WP:AGF claims, but an apology. (BTW, I was a DJ so your presumption turns out to be factually incorrect, not that it's relevant per WP:V) Widefox; talk 12:46, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- User:Widefox You're right, I was speaking from a feeling of frustration and my words got overblown and strident. I'm sorry. But these misinterpretations are easy to make; one other editor has already "deprod"ed an article you tagged because they believed your sockpuppet claims violated AGF. Since I'm not sure the last place I wrote this was the right one, I'll recap it here: please (A) establish proof of a sockfarm and a list of socks so we can disentangle their particular promotional edits on the pages they've touched, and (B) give these many, many articles a chance to be improved by the improvement tags—both from drawing the attention of new editors (like yours truly) and showing existing editors people dispute what they've done with the pages and they need to step up their games. Did you really carry out all the checks listed in WP:BEFORE before tagging these pages for deletion? One of them did have a previous delete discussion on its talk pages, leading to a decision to keep. One did have an interlanguage link with a better and less spammy article on the other side of it. Correct me if I'm wrong but you never commented on any of the articles' talk pages, expressing your concerns. And on several pages you added cleanup tags and proposed deletion at the same time. And do you really believe that none of these articles are capable of being fixed through normal editing? Metadox (talk) 17:54, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

- Yep, in reading up on keep/delete guidelines I ran across the "immediatism vs. eventualism" dichotomy at WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP and it seemed pretty familiar. But I think WP:BURDEN contains support for my position in the third paragraph, saying "editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step." Particularly as it parallels the similar items in WP:BEFORE (especially points C.1, C.3, and C.4) and WP:SURMOUNTABLE. All of these, I believe, support the view that if an article has been recently tagged for improvement it should be given the necessary chance to do so before facing deletion.

- Widefox Fair enough, but, well, your reason for proposing to delete [A State of Trance] was questioning its notability and that's been basically the top trance radio show for over a decade, so much that people mutter about Armin van Buuren having too much influence over the genre. I expect most people visiting that page wouldn't bother to even question its notability, thus not worrying about proving it. And, ok, flag it as needing the references to back that up, but then please also give it a chance to receive those necessary improvements—and the more flags you drop in, the more time it'll need to fix—before mowing through the genre on a deletionist crusade. I'll relabel as my "primary concern" what I've also mentioned already: in the name of WP:BEFORE please give these articles a reasonable span of time for improvement before trying to delete them all.

Ms. Taman is a notable public figure. She is not simply a political candidate.
• She is fighting the government for denying her leave to run. This has attracted significant media attention. The case is currently before the Federal Court. This preceeded her candidacy. • She is the daughter of two prominent Canadian figures: Louise Arbour (former Supreme Court Judge) and Larry Taman (former deputy Attorney General). • She is a former prosecutor with notable files that preceded the election. • She is not just a candidate for office - but has been described as a star candidate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.144.94 (talk • contribs)
- On point #1: that's still a factor of the candidacy, and not something that proves that she's notable independently of the candidacy. #2: being the daughter of somebody else does not give a person an inclusion freebie on Wikipedia, per WP:NOTINHERITED; a person who happens to have one or two famous parents still has to get over our inclusion standards completely on her own steam, and cannot get extra notability points just because of who her parents are. #3: then kindly show where reliable source media coverage of those notable files exists; as it stands right now, this article is resting exclusively on coverage of her candidacy with the exception of a single primary source which cannot confer notability at all. #4: the phrase "star candidate" doesn't automatically boost a person's notability just because some source used it, if sufficient reliable source coverage of her prior career isn't explicitly shown in the article.

- Keep on basis of WP:N conferred by news coverage of PSC decision, as exemplified by [2] [3] [4]. While of relevance to her candidacy for the NDP in Ottawa-Vanier, it, in my opinion, is not notability conferred purely by the candidacy Samir 21:30, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- The PSC decision has made little-to-no news outside of Ottawa. Samir and the anon contributor above claim this is noteworthy, with the former using refs solely from The Ottawa Citizen. If I were to be refused leave from my job to run for office and that made the local paper, that would not give me enough notability for Wiki. If you can find other, non-local sources of notability/newsworthiness, I will rescind my deletion request. If she wins, then reinstate the page on/after 19 October. FUNgus guy (talk) 07:02, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Fungus Guy is correct, the PSC issue did not get any significant coverage beyond Ottawa's local media, so it's not enough to make her permanently notable in an international encyclopedia in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 13:05, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Agree very much that this is a borderline case. However, Radio-Canada is Canadian national media [5], as is National Post [6], and [7].

The list fails because there are very few indications in the article of these deaths occurring because the victims were transgender.

- Keep. It's not terribly difficult to find sources for some of these cases that specifically identify them as hate crimes. For example, Brandon Teena is an especially famous case. This article at The Advocate quite explicitly states that Teena was raped and murdered specifically because of transphobia. This article from The Advocate also details various transphobic hate crimes. This article from Time also discusses the issue and discusses the murder of Elisha Walker. The subject of transphobic hate crimes in general has been covered in reliable sources, such as The New York Times in this article, The Atlantic in this article, Vice in this article, and The Washington Post in this article. You just need to use the proper Google keywords, really. I think there's a bit of original research in the article, but that's not a reason to delete it. The topic seems fairly prominent in reliable sources, and there has been significant coverage of transphobic hate crimes recently. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:10, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- But which ones are hat crimes? All of them? In this case, why isn't that the subject of the article? StAnselm (talk) 08:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't see the article implying that the deaths are directly caused by them being trans, but it lists a source in the beginning indicating that being trans and getting murdered are pretty correlated. Either way, your criticism sounds like something that could be dealt with by editing the page in some way. In that case this isn't a reason to delete this page, but I do agree it could use more editing to be more in the style of the list you posted. Like it says in the deletion policy, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." Rab V (talk) 05:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- But which entries do I remove? All the ones that don't explicitly call the killing a hate crime? StAnselm (talk) 08:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- That sounds like a discussion for the talk page, not AFD. But as the article isn't explicitly only about hate crimes, and the definition of a hate crime can depend on locale, I'd argue that would be a poor criteria. As the article is written now, I don't see a need to only include hate crimes as well since it isn't arguing that being trans directly causes higher murder rates. It only discusses correlation not causation. There are research articles that discuss reasons besides direct causation that could put transgender people at higher risks for violence, like this. That could be used to further clarify things. Rab V (talk) 08:47, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

The only odd thing about it is that unlike most lists of this sort, it lacks an "anchor" page that links to it and provides a discussion of the topic and some context. Certainly, if there's any question as to the veracity of the reports or the citations, that should be addressed separately. I would also love to see work done on identifying more incidents in the past. I suspect violence against transgender people didn't suddenly explode in 2012.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per WP:PRODUCT this should be covered at the company article. Does not seem worth a stand-alone article without going into trivial and unencyclopedic technical details. Charles (talk) 09:32, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep (or maybe Merge into MAN Lion's City). As the article looks like now it may seem not very notable, with only mention of the 41 built for Singapore. However the product has been available in Europe since 1998, and without knowing the exact number actually built, the serial numbers had reached around 7-800 before those mentioned. So the total number built is probably somewhere between 500 and 1000, over a span of 17 years. I did not add any details from any other countries, as it was hard to find anything reliable. It appears that a lot was delivered to Spain, but I have no clue where to find a reliable source for anything from that country. Here is a list of some variations and bodywork, but it is very incomplete and is fully user-made (without any moderation), so it is by no means reliable: MAN NGxx3F (A24) on Phototrans.
- However, I could agree that having a separate article for every single bus chassis model from MAN would mean a lot of very narrow articles about products that have a very narrow market. Even the naming scheme (type designation) used by MAN isn't very user friendly. When applied to the data of a bus, they even include the power output, and many people treat those as separate products, even if it's just different configurations. What is even worse is that many people, including the distributors across the world, have started using the internal VIN codes (like A22, A24, A34, A95, etc.) instead of the model names, and they are just a number and explains absolutely nothing. Anyway, it may not need an article of its own, but it absolutely deserves a mention, as busfans across the world seek to Wikipedia to learn about buses they see, ride or read about. The fact that this chassis model is derived from the Lion's City range of products makes it somehow okay to merge it in there. Then I would suggest making a section in the Lion's City article named something like "Chassis derived from Lion's City", or something similar, and then put this and the other related chassis types in there. This also includes the MAN NDxx3F and the MAN NLxx3F for consistency. As the NDxx3F article states, there are a lot fewer buses built, and in fact the article describes three different products that happen to have the same name or type designation. One of them was only built as a prototype and no serial production. The NLxx3F has, according to serial numbers, been built in around 5 000 units so far, but its connection to Lion's City is exactly the same as the NGxx3F, so letting it on its own because it is more widely known would be very inconsistent.
- So to sum it up, I would like to keep the article as it is, and hopefully it will get some more text if anybody find a good source, or alternatively I accept that all three articles MAN NGxx3F, MAN NDxx3F and MAN NLxx3F (and the not yet created MAN NMxx3F) are merged into MAN Lion's City under a section about related chassis. Most of the info in the infoboxes can be discarded or just written into the other text. Those are the only logical solutions to me. To merge it into the manufacturer article as suggested seems not a good idea, as the Lion's City article is more related.Bergenga (talk) 20:37, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

- Unelected candidates for office do not get articles just for being candidates, per WP:NPOL — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he would already have been eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate for office, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if he wins. Bearcat (talk) 23:32, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- This is the first transgender politician to run for office in Knoxville, TN and therefore, this page is of historical value. Chiefchimp (talk) 19:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- If he were the first transgender person ever to run for office anywhere in the entire United States, you might have a point (although even that wouldn't be an automatic inclusion freebie, if the sourcing for it were this weak.) "The first transgender person to run for office in one specific city", however, does not constitute a reason why somebody gets a permanent article in an international encyclopedia. And even a person who did pass one of our "automatic in" criteria still wouldn't get to keep an article that parked its sourcing on WP:BLOGS and Facebook posts and the local pennysaver — it takes reliable source coverage in real media to get a person in here. Bearcat (talk) 01:41, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:BLPNOTE, fails WP:NPOL. If the claim is that the first transgender politician to run for office in Knoxville is historical, maybe that one sentence belongs in a history of Knoxville, but I don't think so. Who was the first Irishman to run for Mayor of Knoxville? Who was the first black man to run for Mayor of Knoxville? Elected is an entirely different question. --Bejnar (talk) 18:57, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

For similar reasons to those expressed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QI (A series) (2nd nomination). These pages consist of excruciating detail about every single episode of the show; any sources are either trivial references confirming air dates (e.g. to British Comedy Guide) or used to back up original research (e.g. corrections of facts from the show backed up with completely irrelevant, often poor sources). The articles violate policies on listcruft, fancruft, indiscriminate info and if all this were to be removed, the only thing that would be left would be a series of very short articles that contain nothing not already found at List of QI episodes or QI. I planned to delete these articles nominate these articles for deletion at a later date, when I had managed to use a bit more of the content for articles at the QI Wikia site (e.g. "Blue" based on QI (B series)), but a recent editing dispute has brought this to my attention again and it's clear this content just isn't suitable for Wikipedia. Lists of scores, forfeits and trivium collected in a television show, none of which has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" does not belong in Wikipedia. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 16:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

As to make up for what occurred, perhaps the layout of each Series Subpage could be done to simply state Broadcast Date, Recording Date (where applicable), Panellists, Winner, and Summary of Episode, like perhaps on other shows (I.e.

- I'm not quite sure you understand what this page is for. This page is for nominating an article—or in this case, a list of articles—for complete deletion. Like the page QI (A series), the pages nominated here will not exist in any form if people agree on this page that they should be deleted, so you cannot both agree with me and suggest that these pages should "be done to simply state Broadcast Date..." etc., as they will not be part of the encyclopedia any more if they are deleted. People usually use the words "Keep", "Delete" or "Merge" (moving information from deleted pages into other pages) at the start of their comments on "Articles for deletion" discussion, although this is not mandatory. (On a more pedantic note, "Subpage" is a technical term used to describe pages which have a "/" in their name, such as how "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QI (B series)" is a subpage of "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion". These pages (e.g. "QI (B series)") are not subpages of anything.) — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 17:28, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: Ah, forgive me, I was not understanding of that, as I never done this before. Anyway, now that I do, I would recommend keeping these, but with changes. Mainly, reshaping the whole layout of the information of episodes, like that used for other Series of TV Shows (like BBC's Top Gear), or to the layout on QI's own Wikia, that I saw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GUtt01 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Delete all per nom. The only information contained in these articles beyond List of QI episodes is excessive expansion of "mini-factoids" from the show producing WP:YESPOV problems I noted here. I can't see how these articles wouldn't continue to be factoid dumping grounds. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 23:34, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hmmm... I would be tricky to keep them, without someone tempted to put in facts. If I had my way, the only information would be notes about whether anything of significance happened in an episode, like a special object being brought in to show to viewers, or a guest coming in to help explain something, without putting in facts and such. Other than that, I would just put in an episode summary from some guide or such to describe what was going on in an episode. But that's just me... (GUtt01 (talk) 00:22, 3 October 2015 (UTC))

- @Carrite:I re-read NPOL and I looked at WP:POLOUTCOMES just to be sure, so perhaps you might better explain what you're talking about. NPOL says international, national, and province-wide officials are presumed to be notable. For "local" politicians it qualifies the presence of
"significant press coverage"
straight out of WP:GNG, which this subject fails. POLOUTCOMES says"Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors"
and Paynesville, Liberia isn't what I'd consider an"internationally famous metropolitan area"
. Even if she were mayor of Monrovia proper I'd question presuming notability. The article itself reads like puffery and half the "references" are from YouTube. This is definitely not a speedy keep and I'd argue WP:NUKEANDPAVE if it were. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Non-notable primary school.

Deleteper WP:ORG. I'm the editor who originally flagged the notability concerns with this article back in 2006, but I think I subsequently had the experience of nominating another school article for deletion and being told that schools were inherently notable. As a result, I never nominated this and it just sat on my watchlist. It seems that consensus has changed about school notability in the meantime, and this doesn't appear to meet the guidelines.

Marginal notability, conflict of interest, promotional. Article was referred to WP:COIN. Overall, an ad for a shock-jock radio show. There are a few press references only because the person behind the show does things to get attention. Otherwise, not notable. Heavy edit warring, first by blocked user BRNCopyright (talk · contribs), then by anons. John Nagle (talk) 18:50, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment John Nagle, I think that since you are the nominator, your nomination counts as your one delete !vote, and for this reason I have struck your additional !vote above.

The show is nationally syndicated, previously aired on Sirius XM, and there's...uh...this. Google searches of "Bubba the Love Sponge", "Bubba the Love Sponge Show", and "Todd Clem" (Bubba's real name) bring up plenty of references to the show and to the person. There is, of course, the pig incident, that drew the highest fine in FCC history. So, yeah, there is plenty of notability and references. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:19, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I've been removing the channel guide which an anon keeps inserting, per WP:NOTRADIOGUIDE. See Talk:Bubba the Love Sponge Show#Removing channel guide type info, to which the anon never responded. But that's not the AfD issue. The problem is that the article subject is known mostly through their own PR efforts, or is "famous for being famous". That doesn't pass WP:CREATIVE. WP:BIO distinguishes between "worthy of notice", vs. "famous" or "popular". This is clearly the latter. In the presence of promotional activity, the notability guidelines should be strictly interpreted. John Nagle (talk) 22:30, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- The edits regarding the "radio guide" weren't promotional from the show, though. AllAccess and RadioInsight are radio station news websites. Be it format changes, programming changes, whatever, you will find it there. They are considered highly reliable sources in radio station articles. Jacksonville.com is actually the website of The Florida Times-Union. Further reliable sources include Stltoday.com (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) and Ocala.com (Ocala Star Banner). The anon's reverts aside, these are reliable sources and not a list of OR information. This is carefully sourced content.
- If we do go on the "famous for being famous" line, then we would be removing Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and Howard Stern from Wikipedia too. The first two are famous for being famous, the second is famous for being a shock-jock...just like BTLS. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:42, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- Actually, there's more edit warring in the history, but that's not a reason for deletion--it's a reason for caution, though. If I can elaborate on recent events, that IP reverting the nominator, that's disruptive editing: Nagle gave a reason, the IP didn't, and if they continue they'll be blocked. If I can elaborate on past events, a big problem is the "work" done by Tparadiofan, especially this edit, which reinserts complete and utter bullshit, fan trivia, nonsense, unverified content, MOS-violations, and a bunch of BLP violations to boot. I don't think much of that content is in the current version, fortunately. Clearly Tparadiofan thinks that Wikipedia is some kind of fan site, where the kind of language you hear on talk radio is acceptable. It is not.
I don't have an opinion on whether this article should be kept or not. That's a matter of GNG and of relevant guidelines--Neutralhomer knows those better than me. But the nominator has a point with their NOTRADIOGUIDE, for instance. Finally, that talk page is awfully empty, except for one note by Nagle. Drmies (talk) 22:32, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete: as per Bubba Clem and the Bubba Radio Network. We vote delete. Many times, over the years, we have attempted to improve this page with details and data about the man and show, we used Howard Sterns pages as reference when editing. Things his page gets away with, every time we were shot down with "this is promotion" or "im a weani nerd who thinks I know it all" ANYTHING written about us ANYWHERE is by definition PROMOTION, even though you seem to only care about defaming the man and the show. We vote for deletion. We want nothing to do with wikipedia any longer. If you cannot control some snot noised nerd editing our page because he thinks he knows us better then we do, then this clearly isnt a venue we need to be a part of. Or just keep it up as is, longer you defame us the stronger our case will be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BRNCopyright2 (talk • contribs) 04:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

There's a distinct lack of chatter about this book in general outside of merchant sites and false hits. The only things I came up with were things published by the author or his wife, such as this blog post. Anyone have an issue with me closing this one a day early? Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- The article for Mrenh Gongveal also needs to be looked at since it relies very, very heavily on this self-published source. The only things it lists other than this are the sources this author used in his article. Since we can't verify the sources, I'm going to have to consider the article original research. If I can't find something else to back it up, I'm going to PROD it. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- I've proposed it for deletion. I've asked for help from WP:CAMBODIA, but I'm somewhat leery about the page since I can't help but feel that this is all original research by the book's author. The word he says stands for this specific type of mythical being translates to just "elves" in Khmer according to Google Translate. The hits under the name and the various spellings aren't promising since the vast majority of them refer back to Kelly's book in some form or fashion. Basically, I'm not finding much to substantiate that this entity is any different from the common elf and that this isn't a term that Kelly came up with one day in order to show the difference between Cambodian elf folklore and folklore from other countries.

changed this article to a redirect to Todd Slater but the creator (of both articles) reverted the edit. I cannot see that there is any call for a standalone article on this collection of poster art, apparentlyn yet to be published: I cannot see how any content cannot be properly included in the biog. This is not a work of literature which can be critiqued: it's a collection of pictures and there can be little to say about it qua book other than what's in and what's not. Article is effectively unsourced (amazon & publisher's website) as far as establishing notability. TheLongTone (talk) 14:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect. I couldn't really find anything out there to show that this book is independently notable outside of Slater. The best source I could find was Evil Tender and it'd pretty much be considered a SPS on here. I've removed the merchant source (Amazon) as those cannot show notability and usage of this can be seen as an endorsement by Wikipedia of the site and/or product. There are supposedly some instances where you can use a merchant source, but those are exceedingly rare and this is not one of those instances. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:17, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- DGG Is the 1 million cutoff for the total area or the Gross leasable area? While the total area of this mall is around 2 million sq ft the gross leasable area(which is usually in the infobox, in this case the infobox is incorrect) is only 614,850 sq ft. Most malls don't even mention what the total area is do they? Me5000 (talk) 17:12, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Sources do not establish notability and the Gross leasable area is only 614,850 sq ft well below the 1 million cut-off, so this shouldn't be kept on the basis of size either. Me5000 (talk) 18:01, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - it has a gross leasable area of 775,000 square feet. The normal internal non-leasable area (i.e., hallways, bath rooms, food court, etc.) would put this mall's total internal area well within reach of 1 million square feet. I have always assumed the size cutoff was based on total floor area. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:14, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - neither of the prior two comments really give a valid rationale for keeping. Size is not a reason, and simply noting that there is coverage, without providing it, and searches do not appear to agree with that statement, doesn't really make a strong argument to keep. Onel5969 TT me 12:43, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

AfD-ing on behalf of unregistered user. Please see Talk:Hayden Black: "I am very concerned about the lack of verification in this article. It lacks citations for the majority of its statements, instead linking to vague home pages for project Black allegedly worked on. The usable sources at the bottom seem suspiciously similar; the phrase "Video responses, in which Abigail’s fans pretend to have their own versions of Bloomberger’s, are posted her website." appears as "Video responses, in which viewers pretend to have their own versions of Bloomberger's Syndrome, are posted on the site's main feed." in a different source. This suggest an underlying press release to me. In addition, a major contributor to the article shares a username with Black's Myspace profile, suggesting severe COI but explaining the WP:PUFF. Direct quotes are lacking citations, and it might be best to just nuke and start over. If more evidence is necessary, please let me know." by 67.86.185.252 samtar (msg) 11:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Weak Delete. Almost all the statements in this are either unsourced, do not add up to notability, or are written like promotional material. The person may be notable enough for an article, but there isn't enough text in this that is actually sourced to justify retaining it. There may be enough salvageable text for a stub-class article of minor importance, but as is, unless someone wants to fix it, what we are looking at here is a resume style article probably written by the subject himself.

comment This nomination may have been a mistake on my part. However, can we source these to anything other than commercial sites selling product? It sure makes the article spammy. Boardgamegeek at least isn't selling it, but it looks to be user-generated, and therefore not a reliable source. Even the National Library, which could be an excellent source, is just a listing.

- Comment. Not a hoax. A 1997 Associated Press wire story, published in the Log Cabin Democrat (Conway, Ark.), lists the subject as "district commissioner for the Indian Ocean port of Kismayo." At the same time, though, holding a local political office doesn't necessarily meet WP:NPOL.

I'm quite convinced this is fabricated or at the very least very unknown as this has existed since June 2007 with hardly any edits let alone improvement and you'll the first version aas completely unacceptable. Granted, again, considering possible anonymity and obscurity, I still would've expected at least something to confirm her existence (especially if she died as recent as 2007) thus I was impulsed to almost speedy this.

- Keep. This article is unsourced, but it does appear to be a description of the subject's real career. For example, [16] is confirmation that she sang backup for BeBe Winans. [17] lists her as working on a project titled "Special Gift" which was produced by Michael J. Powell, although it refers to Special Gift as an album and Christian Singles as the artist. Some sites mentioned her death, such as [18], [19], and [20]. I don't know how much of this article is accurate or how notable the subject really is, but it shouldn't be considered fabricated or deserving of speedy deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:49, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. Definitely not a hoax. In addition to the sources listed above, there's also this link from the Christian Broadcasting Network, which describes the subject as a songwriter for Vickie Winans, and multiple other sources listing her as a songwriter of various songs.

The more I look at this the more to seems to be an article promoting a particular unit. I see it was recently created from WP:AFC. The history shows that it was accepted pending a redirect's removal. I have edited it to clear the AfC banners. If reviewing it I would have viewed it as an advert and pushed it back to the creating editor. Now it is in the main namespace I am doing the same thing by nominating it for deletion.
I have sample checked the references. Those I checked do nothing to dispel my feeling that this is an advert. Others may wish to check the remainder. Fiddle Faddle 09:04, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Songs fails WP:NSONGS for no multiple, non-trivial, independent sources. PROD removed without giving any reason. The article has now reviews from non-WP:RS sources like SwafNews and ApunkaChoice. Only reliable review is from Bollywood Hungama; but NSONGS says "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability", which is what is happening here. Other sources are of IMDb, the production house and other self-published websites. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:31, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep: Received numerous awards and nominations: International Indian Film Academy Awards Best Song Recording (won); International Indian Film Academy Awards Best Playback Singer - Female (nominated); International Indian Film Academy Awards Best Lyricist (nominated); GiMA Award for Best Film Song (nominated); GiMA Award for Best Female Playback Singer (nominated); GiMA Award for Best Lyricist (nominated); GiMA Award for Best Music Arranger and Programmer (nominated); Star Screen Award for Best Choreography (nominated); Apsara Award for Best Female Singer (nominated); Apsara Award for Best Choreography (nominated). Immensely popular song, so much so that the title and even imagery of the completely unrelated Punjabi film Oh Yaara Ainvayi Ainvayi Lut Gaya copied it five years later in order to ride the song's coattails: [21], [22] (the constantly repeated lyrics of "Ainvayi Ainvayi" are "ainvayi ainvayi lut gaya": [23], [24]). The article is properly and accurately sourced from independent reliable sources; the official soundtrack info is used only to cite a description of what the song's function in the film is, and to cite the fact that the song was released more than a month prior to the theatrical release of the Bollywood film it appeared in, Band Baaja Baaraat; this information is necessary to explain the comments of the reviewers. Easily meets WP:NSONG. -- Softlavender (talk) 01:26, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- No multiple, non-trivial, independent sources. And what you are giving here are facebook, youtube, lyricsmasti.com, fatherandsonfilms.com which are far far far far lacking in being WP:RS. Same with IMDb, Apunkachoice and swafnews used in the article. Just bring neat articles from newspapers which talk about the song only and not just one or two lines stuffed in a big essay about the film and how the actress was bubbly and cute in it. And btw, those references to awards haven't also bothered to elaborately speak about the song. They have just stuck up a big picture of actor-actress and have written one liner "Sunidhi Chauhan for Ainvayi Ainvayi, Band Baaja Baraat." Just one line. That too isn't clear if she won it or was nominated or what! They didn't even bother sticking up the picture of the person in subject, i.e. the singer. Seems they are just trying to get page hits on the actor's face value. This kinda rubbish reference, even if coming from Hindustan Times, is waste to claim notability. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:51, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think you read my comment correctly. I have not listed "facebook, youtube, lyricsmasti.com, fatherandsonfilms.com" as reliable sources anywhere. In terms of the song article under discussion: Multiple awards and nominations (at least one win and at least nine nominations), listed as a Top 10 of 2010 by The Telegraph, and multiple other Top Tens and other accolades in various other independent sources, equate to WP:NSONG. Softlavender (talk) 05:54, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- I read it correctly and that from where we can see you adding 4 external links to those green "reliable sources". You have used similar quality of references in the article as well. Btw, see WP:CHARTS; none of the Top NN charts you are listing are included in there. We do have systemic bias in here that none of the Indian song charts are listed at WP:CHARTS (or probably none are notable) and that's hence not fair to dismiss your listings. But then you have to prove to us why these charts are notable. And you have still not read/understood what WP:NSONGS wants. "NON-TRIVIAL" is not a superfluous word in there. We have plenty film awards and despite winning so many nominations and awards you fail to bring in a single good source which talks about the song.

Per the statement and the footnotes, "significant coverage" is not required; only non-trivial; and obviously this qualifies:
The Telegraph of India named the song one of the 10 best Bollywood releases for the year 2010, stating that "Buoyed by the lead pair’s youthful energy, this one really got the feet moving."[25] Hindustan Times, which called the song a "fast-paced dance number with electrifying beats",[26] listed it as number 6 in the Top 10 songs of the week of 9 January 2011,[27] and cited it as one of the Top 10 caller tunes of 2010 as compiled by Airtel.[28] In 2013, it was one of the 21 songs included in "Apna Bombay Talkies", a music video and film song celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema.[29][30]

In the final analysis there isn't any significant awards for the song itself, multiple non-significant awards yes, and the coverage on HT is web-promo stuff that is a feature of their website as opposed to the print edition. —SpacemanSpiff 16:03, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

- Note: I have said enough already but i am again here to clarify one thing. Softlavender is claiming here in the AfD that the song is in "top 21 songs of the past 100 years" and i really had to see which critic in their right sense kept it in "top 21" from the 100 years of Bollywood music span. Well, turns out that the reference, a promo-video btw, actually says that the song is used in the song "Apna Bombay Talkies", which is a medley of 21 Bollywood songs. It does not claim to be the medley of "top 21" songs as such. Anyone with mediocre knowledge of Bollywood songs would also agree with me that a medley of top 21 songs of Bollywood can never be prepared by excluding creations of Rafi, Kishor Kumar, Asha Bhosle, RD and SD Burman, Naushad, Shankar Jaikishan, OP Nayyar, Shailendra, Ludhyanvi and many such stalwarts of Bollywood music. ABT is merely a collection of 21 songs, most probably selected only from modern songs, the oldest being "Hawa hawaii" from 1987's Mr. India and many critics agree that the Golden age of Bollywood lasted only until 1960s. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 17:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Recognized species in general are assumed notable, but the subject of this article may fail verifiability and notability through lack of reliable sources. The article says this is "informally recognized" and it "is yet to be scientifically described and named." It does not appear at all in 3 of the four references, at least under the name Wadbilliga. The only ref listed which mentions it is "PlantNET - NSW Flora Online" whose home page says "This site is to be regarded as a prototype presented as a demonstration, and not necessarily as an authoritative resource."

- I removed the taxobox, for lack of formal recognition (yet), but I don't see a need for the article to be deleted. I noted one ref as a deadlink, but added another that is similar for verification (it took some searching). The name Kunzea "Badja Carpet" is that of the formally recognised cultivar, and will be a redirect when I remember how we render these as page titles. This situation is very common in some genera, and these names are used while they await a formal description.

- Weak Keep, the cultivar seems to have some non-trivial coverage. The fact that the naming is not yet official shouldn't be a barrier to having an article in cases where secondary coverage can be shown to exist. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:44, 26 September 2015 (UTC).
- Delete this title, and maybe move relevant content to Kunzea 'Badja Carpet'. The cultivar seems to be derived from what is perhaps an aberrant wild population of Kunzea capitata (said population apparently not having been given a scientific name in the 41+ years it has been known). It's not good practice for Wikipedia to include article on undescribed species of organisms (the argument to keep rather than delete of WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES is predicated on the species being described scientifically). The Badja Carpet cultivar has gone through the appropriate publication steps for a cultivar name, but not a species name.Plantdrew (talk) 04:53, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Rename to Kunzea 'Badja Carpet' which seems to be the name that it is known under. Scientific nomenclature should not be used without reliable sources. For use of the name "Kunzea ‘Badja Carpet’" in reliable sources see,e.g., here, here and here. I agree with editor Plantdrew's reasoning, and renaming accomplishes what he suggests. Remove the resultant redirect, as WP:TOOSOON. --Bejnar (talk) 20:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

This article is entirely plot summary. There is no discussion about how this fictional company has had a real-world impact, and no indications of notability separate from the work of fiction in which it appears.

- Delete and redirect. Apparently, there used to be a whole lot of stand-alone articles on people, places and things from the Dark Tower series but, over time, they got corralled into a single fancruft page List of The Dark Tower characters. The instant article somehow missed the round-up. I've copied the material from the instant article into that fancruft page (see the diff here). I also re-directed all of the links to the instant article to the fancruft page. (There were only a few and I've kept a list of them -- if this proposal ends up in a 'keep', I'll change the links back.) So, all that really needs to be done is to turn the instant article into a re-direct to List of The Dark Tower characters#North Central Positronics.

Fails WP:LISTN, with no reliable sources that discuss this grouping. This is comparing scoring averages in a single series, but is not discriminating about which series gets included. Mixing apples with oranges. I've never seen this in RSs for the NBA. Moreover, even a mega stats site like Basketball-Reference.com has nothing like this there. A list of leaders from an entire postseason might be notable, but not a mixed bag like this.

- I don't have a problem retaining this article, though I won't aggressively fight for its existence. I think it contains interesting information, and besides I've seen lists like this before. For example, see
- The Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia. Villard Books. 1994. p. 400. ISBN 0-679-43293-0.
- which lists the top several entries as does the link at [35]. Note that some of this information is effectively replicated at NBA post-season records (as records for series of different lengths), so nothing too important is riding on this discussion. — Myasuda (talk) 01:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- If there only exist stats lists and not prose in sources, I'd argue it's a case of WP:NOTSTATS, without any substantial benefit to apply WP:IAR. As you mentioned, NBA post-season records already exists and lists the No. 1 entry for all records, so it wouldn't fit to merge it there either to expand it with the non-records.—Bagumba (talk) 01:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete I've held off from voting until now to see if any improvements have been made to the page. It is clear that there have been no clear improvements in finding external references and also little improvement in content beyond a simple tabular list. It's my opinion that this subject can be easily covered in the article of its parent publication, Doctor Who Magazine, at least until the list of issues/volumes exceeds a sensible amount. Then we can think about beginning a page entitled "List of issues of Doctor Who - The Complete History". But as it stands, I don't think the article holds enough merit to be considered as a standalone. Most definitely a case of WP:TOOSOON. Aw16 (talk) 15:06, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Delete does not have stand alone notability. A redirect might be appropriate but in current form article seems more to promote then inform. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 22:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
The following changes have been made to the article:
- A link to Honors and Awards page has been removed to eliminate the appearance of promotion.
- Links to two articles in major U.S. newspapers have been added.
- A link to an interview with a PRIMES alumna has been removed, and replaced with a link to an MIT News report.
- The list of references includes a detailed article about PRIMES in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society, a peer-reviewed publication of the main U.S. professional society of mathematicians. PRIMES is the only research program for high school students ever featured in a separate article in the Notices of the AMS.

The Globe and Philadelphia Inquirer articles are about the success of students whose work was done entirely in PRIMES, even if PRIMES is mentioned only once or twice. This can be established by looking at the acknowledgements section of their research papers.
Also major newspapers never publish articles fully dedicated to math research programs. This does not mean that these programs are not notable. There is also no significant coverage in the media of the other major math programs about which Wikipedia has articles, i.e., Canada/USA Mathcamp, Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics, PROMYS, which are much older than PRIMES, and would presumably have had more time to be covered. These articles all appear to be the same in terms of notability.
E.g., there are 75 papers written by PRIMES students, 16 of them already published in major peer-reviewed math research journals. These papers are entirely based on the work done in PRIMES (even if PRIMES is mentioned only once in them, in the acknowledgments). Would it help if links to them are added?
Also even though PRIMES is not yet 5 years old, it already has 70 alumni, who are now undergraduate and graduate students at top US universities. And PRIMES students took all the top basic research awards in the Intel Science Talent Search 2015.
Also please refer to the PRIMES report http://math.mit.edu/research/highschool/primes/materials/PRIMES-Cumulative-Report.pdf for additional detail on the program, and as a further argument in favor of notability.
A Wikipedia article about PRIMES would be useful for many people interested in mathematics, in terms of both education and doing research. Dodecahedronic (talk) 13:25, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Even as I am not in the USA, and not member of any of the related institution, I have heard of this program, that's why I think that it may be notable enough, and I accepted it. But it may need more or better sources. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:53, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Note A new source was added, which links to an NSF award grant for the program. Dodecahedronic (talk) 14:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Reply: I strongly recommend you review WP:GNG and WP:ORG, the notability guidelines bearing the most on this AfD. The fundamental criterion for a subject's inclusion in Wikipedia is simple: it must have received non-primary "significant coverage" in multiple reliable sources. The fundamental policy behind them -- WP:V -- is likewise simple: all material, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable to a published, reliable source. That coverage must be about the subject: a source which is about other people or things connected to the subject doesn't count. That's the definition of "notability" on Wikipedia: whether the world has heard about something or not.
That PRIMES students have written papers is irrelevant; those wouldn't constitute reliable sources about PRIMES. That PRIMES alumni are undergraduate and graduate students is not only irrelevant, but unimpressive -- the same could be said about many a high school football team. That you or anyone else may have heard of the program is irrelevant -- to quote WP:V, "[Wikipedia]'s content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors." And, certainly, if you've identified other such articles that lack proper sources, they're just as eligible to be taken to AfD. (That being said, two of the articles you claim to not have proper sourcing do; publications such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Harvard Crimson, Toronto Globe and Mail, and the Notices of the American Mathematical Society absolutely qualify.)
Finally, we're exhorted all the time at AfD to keep an otherwise non-qualifying article because it would purportedly be "useful" to this group or that. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional website, and the best avenue to promote it would be on MIT's own website ... which, I see, it does. Ravenswing 03:02, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Reply All articles mentioned above, including the PRIMES article (not just two) satisfy the notability criteria, that's why they were accepted. PRIMES is the only subject of the feature article in the Notices of the AMS, which you say "absolutely qualify". This article was accepted by a body independent of PRIMES and MIT. Likewise, there are two links to the NSF public website devoted to PRIMES (one of them a highlight); obviously, NSF is an independent source. Whether "70 alumni, who are now undergraduate and graduate students at *top* US universities" (49 of them at Harvard and MIT alone, see https://math.mit.edu/research/highschool/primes/alumni.php) is "unimpressive" is an arguable point. What is not arguable is that " the same could be said about many a high school football team" - this is clearly not the case. Dodecahedronic (talk) 13:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Reply: Sorry, but press releases to sites don't count. Neither do, of course, any links to MIT. You may also be confused as to how articles get onto Wikipedia in the first place; in the cases of those other three articles, they were just put up by the creating editors, and went through no vetting process at all. In the case of this article, I am rather dismayed to find that you attempted to submit it through Articles for Creation, only for it to be rejected five times -- [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] -- before being added by an editor who admits above that he had no basis for doing so other than that he'd heard of the program. I recognize that you have been trying to get this article onto Wikipedia for over a year and a half -- doing so is pretty much your sole Wikipedia activity -- but this program just doesn't qualify for an article, no matter how much you want it to do so.

NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

- Delete while a program's non-Wikipedia reputation may be significantly created by the work done by its participants, Wikipedia notability is not inherited up or down. If a program has developed a significant reputation it will be written about in its own right (qua propria persona) in independent, reliable secondary sources. The AMS article in a peer-reviewed journal is a good source for verification, but since the authors are all intimately invovled with this MIT program, it cannot be considered an independent source. While receiving mentions, the topic fails for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable secondary sources. --Bejnar (talk) 19:58, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. My observation is, this is a strong case of WP:neologism. The term Banglastan has not reportedly been used by prominent Islamist groups. However, some online and social media material can be found where critics attribute or impose use of this term to Islamists. The article is created and maintained by an editor, who has history of generating controversies and pushing POV and neologism.

- Delete For a concept to have its own Wikipedia article, that concept must be the subject of at least two published sources which are cited. I can only check the English language sources here but those only give passing mentions of the term. There can be Wikipedia articles about the protests behind this concept but I do not see evidence in the English language sources that this term should have its own article. Much of the content presented here does not match the sources being cited. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete This article has been created for propaganda. Most of the sources are grossly misrepresented; the remaining are unreliable. Often newspapers publish news on non-sense matters but that doesn't make it suitable for Wikipedia.

- Delete The article is nothing but an intentional attempt of incitation based on misrepresented and disputed unreliable sources which can be led to a clutter. The links of the newspaper article doesn't prove that it is a strong based factual concept, and these reports are nothing but some volatile thought, based on some social media propaganda to lead to unwanted sectarianism.

Happiest persoN (talk) 18:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, This post is a propaganda. Someone wrote something in Facebook does not mean that it becomes notable. The concept of "Banglastan" is not any wide spread idea. The sources used here also don't establish the matter. These contents were picked up from some websites and then added in Wikipedia. The key term was used once in some websites and even some websites don't mentioned it. Few of the website page don't exist. Also those who used the term in the websites are all secondary person, not primary source, besides it is something they (persons who stated the term) believe. There is no clue that these guys got the information from the alleged party. There is an website link which refers a Facebook page, but as I stated earlier, it does not make it notable. So this page should be deleted. Intakhab ctg (talk) 19:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

This is an article that is an indiscriminate listing of every time something negative happened to someone wearing a t-shirt. The number of instances that this article covers is truly astronomical in number. Furthermore, what constitutes censorship is never clearly defined and arrest, threats of arrests, fines, lawsuits, offending police officers, being removed from a flight and being asked to remove a t-shirt are all included under the umbrella of this list even though many of these are not comparable.

- Delete - Clothing controversies are enyclopaedic topics (for example, responses to Punk T-shirts in the 1970s are quite well recorded and documented) but an indiscriminate list such as this isn't really how to go about an article on the subject. Given that almost every single garment has, at some point somewhere, been the subject of controversy or bans (trousers for women, short skirts, shorter skirts, strapless dresses, etc...) a list of "censored" clothing is potentially enormous - this could potentially include all the thousands of instances where a child is sent home from school for not meeting the uniform code, which is excessive. Such instances, where notable, should be covered (with full citations) in appropriate articles, but are not really suitable for a list such as this. For example, one of the T-shirts in the list is given sufficent and appropriate coverage on its band's page. Mabalu (talk) 10:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

The subject of this article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. It's an article about a comedian without any TV credits, presumably written by the comedian himself as self-promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakeregal (talk • contribs)
- Keep - Added filmography to article. Subject has one TV credit and is to work on more TV this year (Citation 14). This comedian's main medium is stand-up and not TV, and should be judged as such. Notability: significant news coverage (Vice, Washington Post), worked with multiple notable comedians such as Bob Odenkirk and Bo Burnham, and has performed at notable venues including San Diego Comic-Con 2015. Also, it's unlikely Wardell wrote this about himself; the article was created in January, but the first time he expresses knowledge of it (and brags) is 12 July 2015 on his Twitter account. - Substantial Contributor Bollsaurus (talk) 21:09, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

As this article is re-listed "to generate a more thorough discussion..." I thought I'd give my view about the 'notability' aspect. Given that I'm the one who originally created this article, maybe my view may not count as fair and unbiased discussion, but I'd give it anyway for what its worth.
- The information given in section 1, 3, and 5 can be considered as the type of information found in encyclopedia.
- Section 1 clarifies the relationship between two similar industry Fora and explains that one is a former name of the other rather than two separate and independent groups. Such information is certainly not "obvious" and a "common knowledge" by casual lay persons unless he/she is involved with telecom industry and knowledgeable in such industry consortium and their activities.
- Due to the reasons above, I contend that the previous comment of "...there's nothing better than these links" (Google search result) is simply an opinion of one person and not a fact.Wellcreek (talk) 16:17, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

- Repurpose -- This article is expressed to be about an organisation. I agree that the organisation is NN. However the majority of the text is the history of a building. I do not know Ohio, but my guess is that its architecture is unusual, so that the building could be notable. WP:V requires that an article is verifiable, bit that it is verified. I take it that the picture is that of a real building, which is accordingly a source. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Keep A better transliteration of his name is "Abd al-Razzaq al-Dandashi". Editors will have better luck using that name in a google or google books search. I rewrote the article with a reliable source. It needs more RS, but either way the subject is certainly notable enough to warrant an article. He was a co-founder and secretary-general of a political group that at one point held great influence in Syrian politics and many of whose members went on to become major Syrian political figures. --Al Ameer (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Disputed prod but I don't see the evidence that this is a notable fan club. There's not much more that can be reliably sourced than is at Turbonegro#Turbojugend. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:51, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Ricky81682: Oppose! I improved the references on this article and I added 2 book references, describing the nature of this fanclub. Furthermore, there exist Wikipedia articles on this topic in German, Swedish and Norwegian.
- With my modifications, the article matches the definitions of WP:Club
- 1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
- With hundreds of chapters all around the world, this criterion is undoubtedly met.
- 2) The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.
- As there are 3 books about its nature and activities and a series of newspaper articles and interviews with the band Turbonegro regading Turbojugend, I think this criterion is met as well. Sebotic (talk) 06:11, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- 1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
As a member of turbojugend I can verify there are several sources of this fan club's existence. A simple search of Google responds with turbojugend.net which is a detailed history and archive of jugend from across the world. The fact this is an international organization makes it relevant. If one was to explore further on turbojugend.net one would discover the existence of a store front for purchases of denim jackets that are approved or denied by a moderator. This is an example of an organizational structure. The search of "turbojugend in media" provides several links to relevant organizations as well as videos of the jugend in action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TJLandfill (talk • contribs) 06:38, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- There needs to be reliable sources not mere blogs or other things like that and we need substantial coverage not mere mentions. Footnotes 2 and 3 are about the diploma and Footnote 2 goes to the main page and it's not clear whether the website qualifies. Footnote 3 is similar so it's not clear what the reference is saying. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Ricky81682: I fail to understand your concern:
- The updated article includes published books about the Turbojugend. What is more substantial than published books?
- Why does the website Turbojugend.net not qualify? You can see the Turbojugend chapters allover the world here.
- There is a public Facebook site about the annual meeting, https://www.facebook.com/weltturbojugendtage, the event is covered here http://www.mmenschenkind.com/weltturbobilderschau/ where you see that we made it into a gallery in Hamburg, Germany
- Hamburg's newspaper, The Hamburger Abendblatt, reports here: http://st.pauli-news.de/schlaglicht/turbojugend-auf-st-pauli/, http://st.pauli-news.de/schlaglicht/turbojugend-laedt-zum-familientreffen/

Non-notable short story collection. While the author has some note, and the individual stories may be notable, I'm not finding anything that leads me to believe this particular collection of stories is notable enough to meet WP:NBOOK to earn its own article here. No references offered in the article at this point, aside from the book itself. Mikeblas (talk) 12:57, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm incline to think of McCaffrey as one of those authors who is notable enough to where her works will inherit individual notability, but then I was an unabashed fangirl of her during my teen years so I'm probably not the most neutral person to make that statement. XD In any case, I'm not really finding that much. I found this book mention where it's mentioned in relation to the stories in the book, meaning that the stories are mentioned as part of this anthology rather than their individual publications. The best one so far is this book, which has a snippet of a review someone wrote for the anthology. I'd be inclined to see that as a RS since the publisher is an academic one, which gives the review some weight. There's enough in the snapshot to where it appears to have been a full length review rather than a book blurb. However that said, we do need more than this.

- Keep. The article, as improved (which really wasn't hard to do), is better sourced, better referenced, and more detailed than the average article about a charting single. As with most pre-Internet books, most of the available sourcing for this isn't going to be available online, and there are lots of indicators of notability. Not the least of which is that Worldcat reports holdings in nearly 500 libraries on at least four continents, a remarkable total for a book originally published as a paperback original in 1977. While I can't access it directly right now, there's also a review in Library Journal that I can't access right now [46], a profile in Crawdaddy! at about the time this book was published, a critical volume on McCaffrey . . . . I don't understand the enthusiasm some editors have for punching holes in our coverage of significant, notable authors simply because the most useful sources are offline. Dumbing Wikipedia down until it's barely more useful than a Google search is not an improvement process. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 05:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. In addition to the works mentioned above (and, without doubt, contemporary reviews in offline genre magazines), this book, which is a scholarly critical commentary on McAffrey and her works, doesn't discuss this short story collection per se, but does spend quite a bit of space dealing with several of the constituent stories. From the standpoint of the encyclopedia's structure, there's very little motivation to attempt to deal with individual short stories separately when it is possible to address them in the context of the collection they were published in.

Keep-- I thought that it was accepted that all Bible translations were notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:29, 4 October 2015 (UTC)- Delete for lack of coverage. Carrite and Peterkingiron are incorrect, there is no common outcome for Bible translations. (See, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Restored Holy Bible and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Complete Jewish Bible.) Even were that to be so, this is not a new translation. It may be dumbed down here and there but it is the Challoner Revision of the Douay–Rheims Bible which has its own article. Basically, the group is just using crowd-sourcing to produce an illustrated bible. Notability always requires verifiable evidence, and all articles on all subjects are kept or deleted on the basis of sources showing their notability, not their subjective importance or relationship to something else. Tokyogirl79 put it this way last June Any translation, regardless of whether it was in print, electronic, or both formats, must have been the focus of independent and reliable coverage. Here the lack of coverage in independent reliable sources is indicative at the minimum of WP:TOOSOON, but could equally as well foreshadow lack of future notability. --Bejnar (talk) 23:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- I assumed that it was a translation, not a mere edition, and have therefore changed my vote. Rather than delete, might it not be better to merge (briefly) to Douay–Rheims Bible#Challoner Revision? Peterkingiron (talk) 15:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. This is a difficult one. Given over 7,000 Knight's Crosses were awarded for a single war I really don't think we can realistically equate it to the Victoria Cross (181 awards for WWII) or Medal of Honor (471 awards for WWII). I really think we should restrict inherent notability to the higher versions of the award. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be some assumption that it does qualify a recipient for an article, as about one third of recipients do already have articles. So it does need further discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:42, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment — To answer your question, you have to do a dive into award criteria themselves first. What I mean by this, you have to separate the recipients into those who received the award for pure bravery in combat, and those who received the award for outstanding military leadership. Other nations awarded separate service awards for skilled leadership; an example is the Distinguished Service Order. This is true for all grades of the Knight's Cross. One also has to take into account that the Victoria Cross (or Medal of Honor) was exclusively awarded for deeds of extreme bravery. Therefore a pure number comparison will not work. MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:13, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly. And we do not consider the DSO sufficient for inherent notability. Although two would be. I'm also sure that when the Knight's Cross was awarded for acts of gallantry the level was frequently considerably below that required for the VC (probably closer to that required for the DCM or DSO for gallantry, which again would not qualify a recipient for an article unless it was awarded at least twice). So we're still getting a situation where German personnel require a considerably lower threshold for inherent notability than British or American personnel. That doesn't seem right or logical. We're back to the old argument as to whether all recipients of the Légion d'Honneur, for instance, are notable because it's the highest honour France can give, despite the fact that they're handed out as ubiquitously as the MBE in Britain. We've already come to the conclusion that all recipients of the L d'H should not be considered notable and I think we need to come to the same conclusion for the Knight's Cross. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keep There are multiple books in German covering the Knight's Cross winners of all grades so they're notable in that respect. The Germans seem to be fascinated by them to a degree unknown in the Commonwealth or US for anything lower than the VC or MoH.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:45, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - No need to debate about which military medals are more valuable than others, there is actually a very broad Special Notability Criterion for WP inclusion. WP:Notability for Biography, "Any Bio no. 1," which states: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." That's all there is to it, there is no need to meet an arcane Military project hoop. This subject passes on that basis. SEE: WP:ANYBIO. Carrite (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- The problem here is that would also include such honours as the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross! Both very well-known and significant. Yet we would never accept (and have never accepted) that these provide inherent notability. So, no, that's not enough. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:21, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to Angry Indian Goddesses the only known film in her works and from where she is getting her notability. The star cast of the film, all women, has many other established actresses and she isn't playing lead. So its not by default that the film's popularity would mean her notability. With no explicit reviews on her, positive or negative, she doesn't seem to pass NACTOR or even BIO1E. Better redirected. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 12:26, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I wish that there was a good target to merge this into. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:59, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

- Hmm... we could probably just merge this material into the article for the manufacturer.

- Delete - lacks SIGCOV per WP:GNG. A couple of newspaper articles surrounding the repatriation of his remains does not constitute significant coverage to me. Indeed, this level of coverage has been afforded to similar events for the servicemen of many different countries and is fairly routine (I can think of a few examples of the bodies of Australian servicemen killed in Vietnam being located 40 years later for instance, likewise for World War I and World War II. No doubt there would be many British, Canadian and US examples too). Significant coverage to me would be coverage in books as well as newspaper articles, or a collection of biographies etc., and would deal with the individual's life in detail to the point where we could write a complete biography of him. Yet all we really have is coverage of the return of his body from Argentina and the circumstances surrounding his death. Anotherclown (talk) 09:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

No evidence of meeting WP:N's requirement of non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable third-party sources. Although it has been unsourced for five years, there are a few out there (such as this one), but nothing that rises above the level of routine coverage. Being the "last known German Revolution veteran and the last German World War I-Era veteran" is his claim to notability, but this is the only encyclopedic fact available and could be (and is) noted at list of last surviving World War I veterans and list of last living war veterans; per past precedent, being the last or oldest of X is not sufficient in and of itself for a stand-alone article. Canadian Paul 19:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment his age is verified by the two newspaper articles, I added the sources, he was a member of a Freikorps (i.e. revolutionary irregular paramilitary troops), aged 17–18, he was definitely not a veteran of WWI (that's the reason why the awkward construction "last Worl War I era veteran" is used), he was an orchestra musician (first flautist of one of the most famous German orchestras) but I haven't been able to dig up much on the web about possible solo performances, he was active from the 1920s to the 1970s, definitely pre-internet. Also, the death date is OR, it may be true, but no source found yet, only some Wiki mirrors. Also his name was spelled "Helmuth" (according to the newspapers).

IMO, even being the last survivor of a noted unit, say the Roughriders, wouldn't qualify for a standalone article (Jesse Langdon gets a paragraph in the main article); a paramilitary organization certainly doesn't, and he doesn't satisfy WP:SOLDIER.

- I don't know what happened with the last AfD, but this isn't as clear-cut as it was made to seem. Nintendo Enthusiast and Gamersyndrome are not reliable sources. And without the new (aforementioned) Red Bull article, there would have been next to no reliable biographical material with which to write an article. So that Red Bull article is good, as is the Kotaku article (though not wholly dedicated to him), and the Daily Dot is decent though cursory. I removed a ton of unreliable sources and original research from the article (the non-notable tournaments should be removed) and I think it's fine to weak keep for now, but if there is no future coverage, it's borderline enough to possibly warrant a merge into the competitive Smash article. czar 16:37, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Confused article that doesn't cover anything that couldn't be included in Powers of the police in England and Wales. ninety:one 21:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
I would disagree. There are more and more people who have powers of a constable and it makes sense to cover this. It helps clarify the confusion the public have over police/quasi-police roles and wikipedia aims to deliver accurate information. To not cover this article would add to this confusion. And yes, what these deletion requests fail to acknowledge is that articles grow over time and wikipedia shouldn't expect a dissertation as soon as the article has been created. leopheard (talk) 01:20, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
P.S. And to include it in Police powers for E/W doesn't make sense as someone might have police powers but the power may not necessarily be that of a constable e.g. PCSO searching for alcohol isn't a power of a constable but other powers they use are. leopheard (talk) 01:22, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete the author fails to realise that the powers (note plural) of a constable very considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. See the article Constable. This article makes the assumption that such powers are uniary, indivisible, yet the only citation is to a UK law that makes a specific grant of enumerated powers to constables. On that basis WP:TNT. This article can only help confuse readers over police and quasi-police roles. The article Individuals with powers of a Constable should probably have been included in this Afd for the same reasons. Above that, prior to writing such an article even limited to the UK, an editor should immerse herself in the legal literature regarding such powers, which is extensive if not always coherent. If that had been the case, a better article actually dealing with the topic and with appropriate citations to law could have been the result.

This is a former PROD nomination. My PROD rationale stated "Non-notable restaurant, no coverage other than restaurant reviews. The venue has been closed for at least two years." (I determined this by using the Wayback Machine to look at archived pages of the restaurant's web page and the last version where their website existed was January 2013.)

- Redirect per everybody. Per WP:NMEDIA, a transmitter which exists merely as a rebroadcaster of a larger service, rather than an originating station in its own right, gets a redirect to the larger service rather than a standalone article. Neutralhomer is correct, as well, that all the similar transmitters listed in Category:NOAA Weather Radio should likely be redirected, as virtually none of them has any standalone notability independently of the service as a whole. No objection to a list, though I will say that there are enough such transmitters that a separate List of NOAA Weather Radio transmitters should be created rather than an embedded list inside the main article. (And then maybe the individual call signs could be redirected to that list instead.) Bearcat (talk) 13:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Since this AfD appears to be going the delete/redirect route, I am going BOLD and creating the List of NOAA Weather Radio transmitters page in my sandbox. There is ALOT of information to put into the page, so it is going to take me a couple.

- Delete. No indication that this prize ever existed; could be a hoax. Among other things, the attribution to a "so far unidentified Singaporean patron of the arts" is the kind of vague statement commonly found in hoaxes. The rationale behind a $10,000 cash prize for a philanthropist also seems odd. If this article has any basis in reality at all, it may have been an idea that was proposed but never came to fruition. In any case, if the Wollen-Blohm Prize had ever been actually awarded, we should have heard about it somewhere, since such awards generally attract at least some notice in reliable sources.

I'm not sure if this is WP:G5-able or not, so I'm AFDing it for further discussion.
The creating editor was blocked as a sock at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Smile Lee. The article was created partly as self-promotion, as he originally mentioned himself as being a member of this group, but later removed that after being called out on it.
The Christian Post source seems usable, but not great. The Charisma and Christian Life source isn't viewable online, but looks to be a minor source. Other sources are pretty poor.
The "Understanding Evangelical Media" and "Graven Images" sources are parenthetical mentions of the groups existence with no other context, while the Christian Today and Comic Book Resources refs are routine mentions of Comic-Con related activity.
The Benzinga source is a press release, and it looks like the HM Magazine one is as well. Grayfell (talk) 00:13, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

- Unelected candidates for office do not get articles just for being candidates, per WP:NPOL — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he would already have been eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before becoming a candidate for office, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. Delete, without prejudice against recreation on October 19 if he wins. Bearcat (talk) 23:36, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- That isn't quite correct, Bearcat. What WP:NPOL actually says is "3. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article"." I take that to mean that if coverage during the campaign was sufficient to pass the WP:GNG, an article could be created and retained on that basis, even if the person had not been notable prior to the campaign. DES (talk) 22:35, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well, WP:BLP1E - if all the coverage were related to the campaign .... -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:38, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- In addition to BLP1E, all candidates in all elections always garner local coverage in their local media — so all candidates would always be able to claim that they'd passed GNG if coverage of the campaign itself were all it took. Accordingly, coverage of the campaign itself is deemed to fall under WP:ROUTINE, except in the exceedingly rare circumstance that the coverage nationalizes into something far beyond the ordinary level of coverage that all candidates can always be expected to garner (e.g. what happened to Christine O'Donnell in 2010.) But with just one source here, nothing even remotely like that has been demonstrated so far. Bearcat (talk) 22:53, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
