The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Tough call, but with no verification from 3rd party, no one willing or able to view hard copy, no one voting to actually keep, WP:V trumps, and we delete. Dennis Brown - 23:41, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Promotional page for a non notable artist. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Albums not on important label. Existing refs are False Mirrors own page, a webzine and two about some software he uses that don't mention him. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:52, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

  • coment I know this area a bit and I'm not even finding much in the way of unreliable sources, let alone reliable ones. But as the previous AFD claims "The artist/band has been featured and reviewed in some major print magazines here in Germany (Orkus, Sonic Seducer, Zillo), which I see as a criterion for "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.". However I have problems to refer to these articles - they are not available online (however some of them can be found on the artist's webpage), so I left them out and I therefore only referred to one online review as an example." I don't in general have a problem using the artist's site as evidence of these articles in this sort of case, they're unlikely to have lied about it. It's a big problem sourcing industrial band articles that, apart from all the sources for notability likely being in German (which is fine), they're likely on paper and hard to trace and source. (Also that there's no good online verification for DAC entries, which establish prima facie notability handily, though pretty sure False Mirror's never hit the DAC.) - David Gerard (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

The result was Delete. The topic has been at AFD for over a month and, even with relistings, has not received much attention. That this short film was part of a longer film Dystopia did not give it sourcable notability and simply being sourcable as screening is not notability. I grant that as a Turkish film, finding sources may be problematical, so ping me if anyone does come up with sources to meet WP:NF. Schmidt, Michael Q. 04:52, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment: While we discourage the autobio and coi editing, that should not be a reason to drag articles to afd. There are other platforms to resolve those issues. As far as notability of subject is concerned, he may meet NACTOR#1 criteria for he seems to have had act of mixed length in multiple notable films and tv shows (refs are cited in article. there are not tons of them, may be because he predominately works in regional film and tv shows and sources in regional languages are not fully digitalised yet and whatsoever are, is not very well indexed by Google.).

The result was delete. This is a topic for and by specialists. At first glance no consensus emerges here. But I'm inclined to defer to the unanimous "delete" view of established editors with a track record of constructive contributions in the topic area. And I give less weight to a "keep" side represented entirely by IPs and low-editcount accounts, because with these contributors, canvassing, sockpuppetry or COI is a frequent concern.  Sandstein  09:05, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

This is, I think, a very obscure theory, and as far as I can tell, one that never really made an impact. All citations are from Gryziński, who proposed this, and AFAICT aren't cited by much anyone except Gryziński himself. I'm open to be convinced that the article should be kept, but as of now I just don't see how this meets WP:N. I don't have access to a lot of those articles however, so I don't have access their full citation record. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

These are 20+ papers from the best journals, some have huge amount of citations - according to Google Schoolar: "Classical Theory of Electronic and Ionic Inelastic Collisions" - 446 citations, "Two-particle collisions. I. General relations for collisions in the laboratory system" - 559 citations, "Two-particle collisions. II. Coulomb collisions in the laboratory system of coordinates" - 324 citations, "Classical Theory of Atomic Collisions. I. Theory of Inelastic Collisions" - 1308 citations 91.198.177.113 (talk) 15:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes, but those aren't about the free fall model, just collisions in general. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 16:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
These are respected results from purely classical considerations - including electrons, leading to surprisingly good agreement. And so the author has later also seen atoms in a classical way - with electrons falling to nucleus, then returning to the initial distance, like zero angular momentum degeneration of Bohr-Sommerfeld. This falling and drifting away makes atom effectively a pulsating multipole - such picture was used in his later classical scattering models. Anyway, shouldn't Wikipedia notice that trials of classical treatment of atom has not ended with Bohr-Sommerfeld? Gryzinski is definitely the most notable among such approaches. Classical approximation is useful for semi-classical ones. His main coauthor is professor Joseph Kunc ( https://gapp.usc.edu/about/faculty/joseph-kunc ) 83.12.37.198 (talk) 16:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Gryzinski has worked in group of hot plasma for nearly half a century (article in Polish: http://web.archive.org/web/20121031093355/http://www.paa.gov.pl/dokumenty/ptj/sadowski10.pdf ), they have stated approach to fusion which is now called Dense plasma focus, he was the head of this group for 18 years. In this energy region classical approximations were sufficient. Now semi-classical approximations are popular, Rydberg atoms are often seen nearly classical. There should be some article about modern classical approximations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.146.128.48 (talk) 22:03, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment Although I am uncomfortable with all references being a single author who produced a seemingly large body of work on this subject, doesn't' the fact that these are all published in peer reviewed journals carry some weight toward notablity? Also, these are top tier physics journals and the journal Nature. I don't see how anyone can do better than that - other than garner citations from other physicists. Maybe I am looking at this incorrectly, but I am tending toward "Keep". Headbomb, what is your opinion on what I just wrote? Steve Quinn (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
The majority of those citations are not related to the FFAM, but are rather general articles about the physics of particle collisions and the like. Yes they are good articles, but they don't support the material, so my opinion is unchanged because the citation that ARE related to the FFAM are very low impact, and very few people other than Gryziński ever bothered with his model. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 18:38, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
All of these papers are about classical considerations, including treatment of electron, which is usually a part of an atom there. The topics of classical scattering and FFAM are integrally connected/interleaved: 1) scattering was used to infer and experimentally test these models (often personally by the author), 2) electron in FFAM performs successive scatterings from the nucleus, 3) atoms in FFAM picture are effectively pulsating electric multipoles (dipole, quadrupole) what is the base of his later scattering papers (since 1975). These impressive 25+ papers nicely show 43 years of evolution of view of a person who was plasma experimentalist and theoretician: from corrections to scattering models, through including magnetic dipole moment of electron into classical considerations, introducing and testing classical atomic model with better agreement than Bohr's, up to a similar view on multielectron atoms and molecules. Sure these are just approximations, but their surprisingly good agreement with experiments may bring valuable intuitions, helpful e.g. for construction of semi-classical models. 188.146.69.8 (talk) 19:03, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
@Headbomb: thanks very much. I see what you are saying. This clears things up. Steve Quinn (talk) 21:47, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
I have added (a sketch of?) History section (Free-fall_atomic_model#History) to emphasize integrity of this series of papers - if it helps, I could improve it. Otherwise, feel free to remove it. 188.146.69.234 (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
IMO, It adds very little because that series of paper is by far an large not about the FFAM, but rather particle collisions in general. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
These collision/scattering models assume classical electron, and often a classical model of atom - tested by agreement with experimental scattering. For example "Three-body analysis of electron-hydrogen atom collisions": assume a classical model of hydrogen (circular or radial), shoot it with a classical electron, and compare predictions of both with experiment. Or "Ramsauer Effect as a Result of the Dynamic Structure of the Atomic Shell" and "Classical theory of atomic collisions. II. Low energy scattering" see atom effectively as a pulsating multipole, as a consequence of assuming radial electron trajectories. Or "Systematics of spectral lines and classical atom": "It is shown that line intensities and main energy level shifts are directly related to the non-spherical and time-dependent electric field of the atomic core.". 188.146.37.99 (talk) 14:57, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
For example alongside the 1965 paper with 1300 citations, he publishes Phys. Rev. Lett. paper.: "Radially Oscillating Electron-the Basis of the Classical Model of the Atom” explaining why assumptions made in the classical scattering paper exclude Bohr circular orbits - here are its first three paragraphs:
“In a series of papers on the classical theory of atomic collisions recently published by the author, it has proved necessary, both for the qualitative explanation of a number of experimental phenomena as well as for their appropriate quantitative description, to proceed with certain assumptions which are in contradiction with the prevailing classical notions regarding the structure of atom and, of course, in contradiction with the wave approach to the atom.
First, in order to explain such phenomena as the asymptotic form of excitation and ionization formulas for high energies of the bombarding particles and the absence of a threshold for processes of inelastic collisions with heavy particles, it was necessary to assume a continuous velocity distribution of atomic electrons. Second, in order to account the diffraction pattern associated with the crystalline structures, it was necessary to accept the existence of a strong anisotropy in the velocity distribution of atomic electrons.
Such assumptions are totally unacceptable from the point of view of electrons moving in circular or even elliptic orbits, since the range of variability of electron velocity is too narrow and the anisotropy too low. The assumption concerning the continuous velocity distribution of atomic electrons may be accounted for on the basis of classical mechanics only by the fact that the moving electron exists both beyond and in the immediate vicinity of the attracting center represented by the nucleus” 188.146.72.198 (talk) 18:47, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Again, that's about the well-known failures of the Bohr model, not about the FFAM. While it certainly may have been a motivation for it, it's still not a paper about the FFAM, and does not succeed in establishing its notability. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 13:11, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
Just look at the title of this paper: "Radially Oscillating Electron-the Basis of the Classical Model of the Atom”. Radially means along the radius, what is equivalent with free-fall, the third equivalent description used is zero angular momentum. Other close formulations used are just classical regarding electrons, and from first principles (just Newton+Coulomb+Lorentz, without assuming axioms of QM). Let us look at abstract of some later papers: "Collisional ionisation and the atomic model" 29 citations: "...The theoretical results appear to be sensitive to the atomic model used; in the case of the free-fall atomic model, they are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. ", "“Free-fall” solution of the Kepler problem in the presence of the magnetic moment" 27 citations, it's in title, "A concept of “free-fall” multi-electron atomic model" 24 citations, in title, "Three-body analysis of electron-hydrogen atom collisions" (22 citations): "...The basic feature of the model atom employed in the present work is its zero angular momentum due to the assumption of the radial motion of the atomic electron ('free-fall' trajectory)...". Sure, maybe the list of articles is too long - please point the least connected one. 188.146.146.81 (talk) 13:39, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Keep There is 25+ articles from top journals (Phys. Rev. class) with ~ 3000 total citations: https://scholar.google.pl/scholar?hl=en&q=gryzinski . The author was physicist (experimentalist and theoretician) working nearly half a century in Polish Academy of Sciences. The articles consistently cover classical treatment of atoms, including electrons, focusing on agreement with experimental data - much more citations have the classical scattering papers (~2500 total), but direct consequence of their assumptions was the FFAM (1965 Phys. Rev. Lett. "Radially Oscillating Electron-the Basis of the Classical Model of the Atom” article), later tested and used for classical scattering considerations (sensitive to assumed electron trajectory) and other phenomena like Ramsauer effect (1970 Phys. Ref. Lett. "Ramsauer Effect as a Result of the Dynamic Structure of the Atomic Shell"), diamagnetism (1987 Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials "Diamagnetism of matter and structure of the atom") or modeling molecular bond (1994 Chemical Physics Letters "Dynamical model of the molecular bond"). The later articles directly applying FFAM also have total of a few hundreds of citations. 188.146.3.91 (talk) 08:14, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Some of what is written in the above Ivote pertains to off-topic material and also ignores the lack of impact this theory has had in mainstream physics. All of the above, and many article references are meant to artificially puff up the importance of this theory. Wikipedia is not a platform for promoting obscure theories (see Ivote below). Steve Quinn (talk) 21:43, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
These 25+ articles have been accepted in top journals - do you imply that editors and reviewers of these journals accept obscure theories? The article emphasizes "This model has never been part of mainstream physics.", but it has both coverage and was not ignored. I responded with concrete arguments from the materials in discussion, please also give concrete objective arguments, not just your subjective evaluation. If you find something "obscure" in these articles, please point it, explain your evaluation and we can discuss your arguments. 188.146.133.196 (talk) 22:20, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete This theory has never had a significant impact in the mainstream physics field as demonstrated by the lack of citations by other researchers. It seems to have been ignored. As noted above, most of the article references do not pertain to this particular topic. This theory has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject per WP:GNG - including the mainstream press. Wikipedia is not a platform for promoting obscure theories per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, WP:NOTFORUM. Steve Quinn (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Not significant coverage? Lack of citations by other researchers? Here you have access to a list of ~3000 citations for 25+ articles from top journals: https://scholar.google.pl/scholar?hl=en&q=gryzinski .

How about if you stop with the misleading POV assertions. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Before questioning someones objectivity, please finally start with a single objective argument - based on the given historical material. This deletion nomination and discussion currently looks like a witch hunt, far from being objective. The official reason is lack of notability, but if measured in papers and citations, it easily exceeds tenfold notability of many other Wikipedia articles. The only other given reason is being “a very obscure theory” without providing even a single argument for this very subjective evaluation. I have looked closer at some of these papers (I have PhD in physics) and they contain solid calculations (wouldn’t be accepted in these journals otherwise) using just basic classical physics, like Coulomb and Lorentz force, and compare their theoretical predictions with experimental values, getting surprisingly good agreement – please explain what is controversial or obscure here? If you have found some weaknesses of their analysis, missed by the reviewers, please share it. They obviously lack the perfection of quantum predictions, but it is definitely good to know the limits of classical considerations, especially that the discussion about the foundations of quantum mechanics still continues. If your objection is lack of connections between these 25+ papers, there was a specific question above to point the least connected paper - still zero answers. Please respond to the evidence above, which refer to the actual text showing their connection - like the 1965 Phys. Rev. Lett. paper explaining necessity of FFAM electron trajectory for the 1300 citations classical scattering paper. 188.146.144.42 (talk) 08:29, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment - this short article might be interesting for the history of physics, but it seems to be relegated, no? Bearian (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
There is a nice 2012 Grujic "Classical theory of atomic collisions – The first hundred years" review, which discusses two schools: semi-classical "Stirling school" and classical "Warsaw school" (Gryzinski's), with nice comment to his classical atomic models: "(...) may be considered a historiographical alternative, which answers the possible question: what would have happened had the QM not been invented?". The number of citations itself suggests theses papers had a real influence on the history of physics. However, these had finally turned out to be an alternative history - very solid work to understand how far can we go with the classical approximation. Understanding its limitation - what is still missing, is one of a natural way to really deeply understand the quantum mechanics. 188.146.68.213 (talk) 21:16, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment The topic in general looks relevant, but I'm not sure if the current article is sufficient to give an overview: what are the applications of the model, what are the limits? Is this purely of historical interest, or still relevant? As an example, if the model is unable to reproduce quantized energy levels, this should be mentioned (because it means the model is not useful for atoms at all). If it is, this is a remarkable achievement for a classical theory and should be mentioned. If the atom has a time-dependent dipole, why doesn't it radiate? --mfb (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Applications started with various scattering scenarios, later he has also used it for different topics like Ramsauer effect (as higher state electrons screening the lower ones), calculating diamagnetic coefficient, Stark effect and a few others. Limits? These are pure classical (e.g. no interference) - Bohr plus magnetic dipole moment of electron, plus precession of this spin (also as gyroscope), he has used this precession to explain Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization (1987 "Spin-dynamical theory of the wave-corpuscular duality"). This quantization basically produces energy levels as Bohr. Regarding lack or bremsstrahlung, I don't know his explanation. Personally, I see it through Couder's quantization for walking droplets ( http://www.pnas.org/content/107/41/17515.full ): closed trajectories and Bohr-Sommerfeld condition lead to resonance with the surrounding field. 89.70.181.191 (talk) 20:34, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete. The banner question for content like this is simple: is there independent reliable coverage? That is, did other people directly address them at nontrivial length? The IP editor supporting retention has provided a lot of links to scholarly discussions of particle collision physics in the general case, and a lot of citation counts for Gryziński's works. But neither of those approaches illuminate whether this model is itself notable. For example, a couple of Gryziński's flagship papers that directly address this theory are in Physics Letters A: "A concept of 'free-fall' multi-electron atomic model" and "'Free-fall' solution of the Kepler problem in the presence of the magnetic moment", each with a couple dozen citations. However, the bulk of those are self-citations from Gryziński's other papers, and none of the independent citations seem to give significant coverage of the topic. Indeed, papers like this Physics Reports article look promising, but are primarily concerned with his 1959 work, which predates the free-fall model. Honestly, I think the best solution here would be to redirect this article (merging appropriately given due weight) to an article on Gryziński himself; he's done some fairly significant things and, overall, has been pretty well-cited, and I think there's a case that he's notable. But currently, Michał Gryziński redirects to this article. In the absence of a viable redirect target, and given the lack of independent reliable coverage of this model specifically, I can only support deletion. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:20, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Lots of people have been working on classical considerations in this scale even after QM, and Gryzinski's half century of tremendous work is definitely the most notable among them: based on agreement with many different experiments, published dozens of papers about it in top journals, got thousands of citations. An ultimate argument against Bohr's picture, which is taught in schools, is electron capture - which requires electrons to get to femtometer scale distance so nuclear force can start acting (as in FFAM). The FFAM has been the base of his papers since the PRL in 1965, which introduced it as requirement for his classical scattering papers with 2000+ citations. These later 20+ papers have about 500 total citations - if it is not sufficient for a separate Wikipedia article, change it to Michał Gryziński, modify the order (FFAM after History, I can help), and redirect from FFAM. Also, there should be a section about his classical scattering papers. 21:14, 23 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.146.64.242 (talk)

The result was no consensus. Having read through the article, source material, and the analysis of these sources in this discussion, I see that the "delete" side has presented a strong case. The coverage consists mainly of passing mentions and items such as being ranked #682 on a list of "fastest growing companies" appears insignificant. With that said, the validity of the Music Connection source combined with a spattering of mentions in other sources is an argument with merit, and one that has attracted support. The article remains thin, but I cannot see a consensus for deletion based on this AFD. Sjakkalle (Check!) 21:12, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep - I agree that "Fast Growing" lists, and not even appearing high on those lists, is usually a pretty good indicator of non-notability. That said, let's do a source review:
    • Music Connection - This is a good notability establishing article. It's a publication with an editorial staff, it's bylined, it's an entire article dedicated to the subject, and it claims that the subject is "the largest" of its kind, which is a claim to notability.
    • Inc.com - As mentioned, being low on a "Fastest Growing" list is a black mark against.
    • Springfield Business Journal - Likewise.
    • Wilmington Business Journal - Local coverage, minor award that ma even be an indicator of non-notability.
    • TechCruch - Reliable source... but barely the scantest of passing mentions.
    • LifeHacker - Blog, with an editorial staff. It's a very well known, large blog. I'm... not sure if this passes our reliability threshold. If it does, this would be a second notability establisher... but I'm just not sure about this one.
    • San Jose Mercury News - Has a brief interview with the subject, but not ABOUT the subject... this article is about Uber, and GigSalad is the business equivalent of "little man on the street" in this article. Does not contribute to notability establishment.
    • Encore Magazine - Good article about the subject, not invalid for adding facts to the article... but this is an expressly local magazine, which does not provide notability establishment.
    • diymusician - A blog. Apparently a blog run by the editor of another publication? But still a blog, apparently without outside editorial review, which alas, means that this cannot be used to establish notability.
  • My threshold is two sources establishing notability. We have here one good strong one, and one that I'm not sure counts. Let's see if WP:NEXIST applies... are there any OTHER sources that offer notability? Checking google news...
    • Digital Music News - Good notability establishing article. Is the source reliable? I honestly don't know, and can't tell.
    • MarketingProfs - Paywalled article. I believe this is may be a reliable source, but I can't see the content. That said, the google preview of the content suggests that this MIGHT establish notability? "Much as Uber helps people to find a ride and Airbnb enables travelers to find homes to rent, GigSalad helps people planning events to connect ..."
    • Miami New Times - Reliable source. It's debatable whether this is a passing mention or not. No, the article isn't about gigsalad, but it does express that the writer used gigsalad to make a key point of the article, which implies that the writer finds gigsalad to be notable.
    • The Globe and Mail - Another reliable source, with a similar type of mention. The article isn't about gigsalad, but the author references gigsalad in a way implying notability.
  • I'm stopping here. Google news goes on quite a while with many, many such references to gigsalad. I believe that this establishes notability, per WP:NEXIST. Basically, many reliable sources are referencing gigsalad, and we have one reliable source which goes in depth about the subject. I'm going to have to go with a !vote for keep. Enough minor references just add up, in my opinion. Fieari (talk) 01:34, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete as the nominator here is convincing at suggesting the exact concerns here and is emphasizing them better than what the Keep votes is suggesting; this is because it's all essentially PR, something I noticed was unbelievably accepted as there's no actual substance and the "news" is only PR or PR-like (like with other AfDs, this is all expected coverage). What the Keep vote is not mentioning is that there has in fact been consensus repeatedly here at AfD that such coverage is not convincing or substantial, especially not for guaranteeing this is an improvable article. I know I certainly would not have accepted, and I hope the fact it was accepted is not a defense for other articles. SwisterTwister talk 01:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
    • @ST, the large sea of minor mentions by reliable sources are not mentioning it as a promotional thing, but as a useful tool that they used as part of their article, or as a mention that "this is the {implied notable} method that {person} did {thing}." And if it were just one or two such mentions, I'd agree that it wouldn't be enough, but the sheer volume of such mentions lends weight. Cumulatively, hundreds of minor mentions, in a non-promotional useful context, add up to smaller number of more substantial mentions. Fieari (talk) 03:02, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep - My understanding of notability prior to writing the article is that it can be achieved by a high-profile piece of media (e.g. a profile the New York Times) or many smaller, less prestigious mentions. This is in line with what Fieari suggested in this discussion. For that reason I vote to keep. (Please let me know if, as the submitter, I shouldn't be involving myself here. I wasn't able to find documentation to that effect.)
  • If it's a matter of the article needing improvement (removing references to Inc. 5000 and the Springfield Business Journal, incorporating additional sources of notability Fieari discovered), I could do that quite easily. However, in line with WP:NEXIST, I don't believe that's necessary. Mischivin (talk)
First: Simply having one or a few convincing sources or that they are substantial, come from a major news source is not actually always an automatic confirmation of his own article, because then there are the concerns and thoughts of PR, something that is notoriously common with these subjects. Second, actually making claims of "having several trivial or "prestigious" minor mentions combined" is not a confirmation either, everything I have noted here has become a fact as shown by other AfDs closed as Delete. Sinply stating NEXIST defends not considering other sources especially when this would be essential and otherwise needed to not only improve this, but to make it convincingly keepable; saying "that's not necessary" essentially suggests an attempt to not consider the concerns. I specifically listed my concerns here as has the nominator. SwisterTwister talk 02:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep: Per WP:NEXIST. The fact that press releases are currently used as references doesn't mean appropriate references don't exist. I think the combination of coverage listed above, and specifically Digital Music News, makes this company meet WP:GNG. Safehaven86 (talk) 02:30, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete -- un unremarkable small company going about its business. The article is advertorial in tone, so WP:PROMO applies. The coverage listed above is insufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. For example, the article from Digital Music News includes this language:
  • "GigSalad invested their time in researching payment methods until they found the ideal service. They also altered their banking process to find the best integration for their members. The new service is called Bold Financial Technologies, the same service used by Airbnb, Saucey, and Zirx."
This is clearly very fluffy coverage, and possibly based on a press release y the company. Requirements are more stringent when looking for RS to substantiate notability of the subject, and this clearly misses the mark. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:38, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, like I am confused because this page now after the edits merely lists what its style is and the notable artists it has released that contribute to its notability as a label. Jalexlb (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Actually the terms of discogs technically state that this kind of use would be ok as they technically have no right over the information as it is just the label's catalogue numbers and release names hence why there are exact copies here [1] and here [2] and here. It would only be an infringement if we were using the listings of discogs sellers, or somehow using the info for profit. However if need be, I shall edit the article to instead show a roster of artists.

    • Comment @Lemongirl942: It is one of the most influential labels in the UK dubstep scene. Music labels typically aren't the center of medial attention but there#s enough coverage anyway (e.g. [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). Another showcase of this label's notability are the 43k likes of its facebook page. It would be more than biased to delete it. --Fixuture (talk) 10:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

But there are reviews, some of which are full length on big music sites, it is definitely significant to dubstep's history. If it wasn't significant, these big music sites and magazines such as NME and Pitchfork would not be covering it. [1][2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Also special note that they describe the label in Mixmag as 'treasured' [7]

Jalexlb (talk) 11:48, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment: Fixuture, Jalexlb, a couple of points – firstly, Wikipedia doesn't recognise blogs as reliable independent sources. Secondly, while there are certainly some big names like Skream and James Blake with connections to the label, that and the interviews with artists on the label doesn't necessarily make the label itself notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Please see WP:INHERITORG which states that notability of a company isn't conferred by association with notable people. Richard3120 (talk) 18:44, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
NME and Mixmag aren't 'blogs' they are massive magazines, as is shown by the fact they have their own wikipedia pages. Jalexlb (talk) 15:52, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Correct, but you haven't referenced NME or Mixmag anywhere in the article, and have instead used blogs such as drumsofthesouth.com. I was talking about the article as it stands. And they are not articles about the label, they are articles about albums – again, please read WP:INHERITORG. Richard3120 (talk) 16:29, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

The article also uses a scientific journal in which deep medi is mentioned, also the documentary bassweight which was on the bbc, and many other notable sources. Also those albums were notable BECAUSE they were on Deep Medi, not the other way round. Also there is the vice feature on the history of dubstep which talks about deep medi. There are many sources I have shown on the talk page and the article which show its notability.

Also what about mixmag calling it treasured, it is from a reliable source and it talks about the label? Also labels are literally only about who they sign because music is how labels get well known, You could say therefore that Mala, a notable musician running it may not be enough on its own through that rule but the music is the very fabric of every label and with that, no labels would be notable because they would only be inhereting notability through releases.

Jalexlb (talk) 16:56, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

My point is that if you actually added them to the article rather than just listing them here or on the talk page, you would have a better chance of seeing the article kept – as it stands it has almost no reliable sources. You talk about a "scientific journal" and BBC documentary, and yet you haven't added any of them as references, so we have absolutely no proof of verifiability so far. I know the Guardian blog *talks* about the documentary, but there's no proof in the article that Deep Medi are mentioned. Richard3120 (talk) 18:10, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

@Richard3120: I added it, so now the journal is there in the references and I think that helps the cause. Jalexlb (talk) 18:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)


So now we have quite a view verifiable sources actually Jalexlb (talk) 11:05, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, would you mind pointing out which one is the scientific journal, please? Richard3120 (talk) 01:59, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

[1] This one, its in the journal of electronic dance music Jalexlb (talk) 12:13, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, OK, although it's really just a review by some teacher of the same BBC documentary that mentions Deep Medi in passing in the wider context of the dubstep scene. Richard3120 (talk) 14:06, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but why do you think they chose Deep Medi out of any dubstep record label, because it is literally the most significant in the scene, they wouldn't have chosen it otherwise as one of the ones to talk about. Mixmag wouldn't have called it treasured, and its most recent release topper top by Sir Spyro wouldn't be currently at around 100 in the itunes chart despite dubstep supposedly having already had its best days behind it. Also it wasn't an in passing mention. A large part of the documentary is filmed about/ around a Deep Medi night

  • Comment The contributor of the article asked me to reconsider, reminding me that there are sources. I consider the NYT source perhaps sufficient to contribute to the notability of the promoter, but not of this project. I consider overall the inclusion of details about the individual projects so inappropriate to an encyclopedia as to constitute promotionalism" both promotional intent and promotional writing. (in fact, I consider their inclusion in the NYT story also as promotionalism--there is no source whatsoever, even the most eminent newspapers, that is free from the temptation to write promotional material or advertorials. We have to judge the reliability of a source in context by actually considering what it says and how it is written.). Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. DGG ( talk ) 04:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • CommentThank you for your close reading of this article. We have deleted some of the details about some of the individual projects mentioned above as "promotional" and removed several adjectives (such as "notable") to change the tone of the writing. However, since I'm new to Wikipedia I would appreciate some further guidance on specifically what points or what sentences are viewed as promotional. For example, should we not mention audience numbers, the amount of cash in prizes? Should we not mention who won these competitions and what they won for? These are facts that might interest someone curious about the mechanism of this development strategy, but maybe they make the article too promotional. Is the article too long on the whole? If we simply shortened it, would it be viewed as less promotional? I added the section on the White House conference on Global Development, which occurred after the original article was written. I though this might bolster the "notability" of Bamyan Media, but it seems to me that demonstrating "notability" does risk appearing overly promotional. Is this a contradiction in Wikipedia editorial policies that most current organizations face? You will also see that I've added an academic research reference pertaining to this project. I believe one of the reviewers mentioned academic research as a far more qualified "source" than the media. In short, we have done our best to make this article an objective description of the work that Bamyan Media does. It does seem logical that an organization that is receiving significant financial support from the US State Department in the interest of promoting its “soft diplomacy” objectives, is worthy of mention in Wikipedia. That way taxpayers can see how their money is being spent, potential collaborators and government employees can read about an organization they may be working with. The fact that Bamyan Media is trying to solve a real world problem, is not and should not be viewed as “promotional” of and in itself. That is simply a fact of the organization's mission. One last point: I see that there is no category page in Wikipedia for "international development" which seems a bit odd. This whole area of activity is somewhat underdeveloped in Wikipedia, which may partially explain reviewers' lack of familiarity with these types of organizations. In fact there are hundreds of them, they perform an important role in US diplomacy, and their descriptions do by definition invoke a type of do gooder language. Lilifrancklyn (talk) 15:04, 20 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilifrancklyn (talkcontribs) 14:58, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
We're an encyclopedia , not a guide to charities. The basic characteristics of promotionalism is that it provides the readers with what the organization would like to tell them, and is typically addressed to prospective customers/investors/donors/students/applicants/ etc. In contrast, an encyclopedia article is addressed to the general reader who may have heard of the organization, and wants to know what it is and something about what it does. The reader knows that if it wants individual stories about individual recipients, it will find them in the web pages and booklets meant to actuate prospective donors. That's what the organization;s web pages and promotional material are for. A useful rule of thumb is if tit reads like an organization's web site, it isn't suitable for an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia takes a neutral point of view. We provide objective information. We don't advocate in the encyclopedia for causes, however worthy.
As for what you should do, there's a simple answer: you should not write the article about your own organization. If you are doing important work, someone with no connection with the organization will do it. Experience has shown that connected editors are almost always unable to write objective nonpromotional articles about their own organizations. If you want to write about yourself, do it elsewhere.

Prouty, who worked for special operations forces under JFK’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, reveals who really runs our government.

For a handful of cogno­scenti, he is also known as an expert on railroads and the author of annual encyclopedia entries on the subject. But for millions more people around the world, Colonel Prouty is better known as "Mr. X"-the enigmatic Washington nation­al security insider played by Donald Sutherland in Oliver Stone's recent nationally acclaimed motion picture about the John Kennedy assassination, "JFK."

      The article notes:

      His 1973 book, The Secret Team, was reviewed seriously. In it, Prouty called the CIA, and the cold war, a cover story, which had allowed elements of the military and intelligence community to work on behalf of the interests of a "high cabal" of industrialists and bankers. It found a ready audience in the atmosphere of Watergate and the Pentagon Papers, and, in the light of Iran-Contra and CIA drug-running controversies, many of its revelations have been confirmed.

      A mass-market paperback was published by Ballantine in 1974, but the book immediately became hard to find. Prouty believed it was "disappeared"; at any rate, copies remain collectors' items.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Secret Team to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • I agree that most of the sources presented here are not substantial coverage. However, the 1973 articles from the Garden City Telegram and the New Castle News (Copley News Service) are substantial coverage. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says significant coverage in two reliable sources is sufficient to establish notability.

    Lankiveil's comment that "there are probably more print sources that are not online" is supported by this quote from The Guardian obituary I linked above: "His 1973 book, The Secret Team, was reviewed seriously."

    Cunard (talk) 01:14, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment -- I believe that the statement ("His 1973 book, The Secret Team, was reviewed seriously") invalidates these 1970s sources as dated and not reliable. A case could be made that these sources are uncritical, and could not be used for the purpose of establishing notability at this time. Contemporary sources would make a stronger case for keeping this page as a stand-alone article, but it appears that they've not reviewed the book "seriously". In fact, they appear to dismiss the book. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:52, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
  • That statement does not invalidate the two 1973 sources I've provided. Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is not temporary. Contemporary sources are not required.

    The Guardian article noted (my bolding):

    It found a ready audience in the atmosphere of Watergate and the Pentagon Papers, and, in the light of Iran-Contra and CIA drug-running controversies, many of its revelations have been confirmed.

    That the book was reviewed seriously because it contained credible claims and "many of its revelations have been confirmed" does not render the 1970s sources unusable in establishing notability.

  • Comment: 44 books is nothing to sneeze at, but are they published by any mainstream publisher? Looks like mostly vanity presses. Willing to wait a bit to see what people find. Montanabw(talk) 21:52, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Weak delete My sweeps of Danish news (for "Therese Philipsen") as well as a general sweep for "Willow Rose" (using Google's 'news' filter) didn't come up with much. A cursory check of Amazon found that she has indeed published many books; my sense is she has a following of thriller readers, and has tapped into a successful formula for hooking readers on a series. Looking through the Amazon reviews, especially on a highly-read book, there are quite a few reviewers who say the quality of the writing is mediocre and predictable; still, 173 reviews is not too shabby, and there is a likelihood that many of the so-called 'verified purchase' books were giveaways or free copies via a promotion. Here's a blog review which says a Willow Rose book was slow to start but picked up after chapter 9, then became a page-turner, and the reviewer was sent a copy by the author; but that's not an established book critic as far as I can tell. I've been hunting for a serious review from a known critic of one of her books, but what I am finding is Wordpress writeups and such. In Goodreads, she has many reviews, usually hovering around 3.8 out of 5 stars -- suggesting she's a competent but not exceptional writer. She seems to be skilled at promoting her writing through interviews. I know, I know, pageview tallies are not an official way to evaluate a bio article but in my experience it is correlated with notability (like, I'm hesitant to delete somebody with 200+ pageviews a day); and Willow Rose weighs in with 8 pageviews a day (30-day average) as of Sept 21 2016, which is rather mediocre. So, overall, competent and prolific writer, great self-promoter, lack of critical reviews by real critics (what we really need here at Wikipedia) => weak delete.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:32, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well, a formulaic hack writer could still be notable, are her books independently published? Does she show any reviews in the legitimate genre press? I'm leaning delete, but I know that even major genre writers don't always get much coverage in the mainstream press unless they achieve celebrity status, which is not the same as notability.

  • Delete as WorldCat shows a mere an therefore unconvincing 24 holdings, not at all convincing, the article then contains nothing else convincing for establishing her own article with substance.

  • Delete The article seems to have been written by the founder of the company. I made a good faith search for coverage in reliable, independent sources. All I found was an article in a Paraguayan newspaper, where the company is based, reporting that they had exported 3,200 bottles of rum (a tiny amount) to the United States. That local small business press coverage was almost certainly the product of promotional efforts by the company, and is insufficient to establish notability. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:26, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

do not delete: yes I am the owner of the company and yes I tried to list different topics before without luck. This is not because the listing is not legit, but looks like because I am not doing it correctly. to me as a person … just google my name: Timm Hogerzeil. I have written a couple of published books, directed and published over 40 DVDs and Blu-Rays, a documentary was shot on my life that is considered cultural heritage by the German culture ministry etc etc This new listing of Jules Verne is legit as we are the first Rum of Paraguay that exports to global markets. What is your background that you know how big or small 3200 bottles are? Do you read spanish? This export is the initial of monthly 5000 bottles. Not sure how many micro distilleries globally sell as many. Next month we have our first export to Europe. Further Jules Verne Rum is the first global SteamPunk spirit brand next to Kraken Rum. Probably you do not know what SteamPunk is. Some of the biggest computer games recently released, movies, bars, hotels etc … This trend is not in the media or public eye, but huge around the geek world (you are probably no Geek - otherwise you would know) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk It does not make any differences commercially to be in Wikipedia or not. Still my life and all products I have done so far are of public interest. I designed many opening titles of big Hollywood movies, a commercial I designed became the most ever broadcasted ad in US TV history. (nothing I want to list here) Family background: my grandfather was a famous actor, director of the Nazi area. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Wemper Me and my brother (Caspar Hogerzeil) are now 3rd generation directors of relevance. Many awards in Cannes, Art Directors Club etc … many important productions. Instead of deleting … maybe help me to put it in a way it works with your requirements as I seem to be not doing it well. Hope you can help and make this work as I truly believe this is of public interest and should be in Wikipedia. I should put me in as well again … just do not want to try again without knowing how or if I do it correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.52.178.24 (talk) 19:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

    • Response to Timm The problem with your article is not so much the content but the subject. For an article to be acceptable to the English Wikipedia it must be about a subject that is sufficiently notable. In general, this requires that independent sources have published content about it. In this case we have more specific notability guidelines for businesses and their products which details such things as the depth of coverage required and the independence of the sources. The size and niche of your market are irrelevant unless these independent sources have made note of them, as too are the background of the author of the article. I hope this helps to clarify what wikipedia is about and how it works. If you can find suitable references that demonstrate the notability of your distillery you are welcome to add them. Maybe it is just too soon? There are of course other opportunities online for you to write about your company and products such as steampunk wikia. Best wishes.

  • comment FHM is an article, Billboard chart is very minor but exists - this leads me to consider her likely marginally notable per NMUSIC, and that other sources are likely to exist (but that's hypothetical, so this isn't a "keep" yet) - David Gerard (talk) 14:17, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Comment: I don't think the FHM source in this article is legitimate because the actual FHM goes by FHM dot com but this one goes by FHM dot ph. Also there is nothing on Billboard that mentioned her name. When I look up Juicy M, I only see Juicy J (rapper). - Rizhopper (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Still appears to be a minor RS (but not one that would swing it for me). The Billboard ref was [11] which may or may not be any sort of actual chart, though it's listed in the charts section. Electronica Life also looks like a minor RS. The sources don't look sponsored (I could be wrong). Looking through Google News, this is IMO not bad: [12] These are fluffy fact-of-touring coverage, but suggest she's actually somewhat noteworthy in her field (not quite NMUSIC #4 because they're not serious critical reviews, but they are international touring getting coverage): [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] There's a lot of "World's Sexiest DJ" fluff, but I'm leaning marginal keep for actually being noteworthy in her field, and I think we could have an article on the sources there are - David Gerard (talk) 20:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep or Redirect until ____ happens - Hi Aussie, using the Indian news search tool, I find some detailed mentions like this and this. This source is generally considered reliable, although they seem to be reporting rumors about the series being based on a film, and that the series will be shot in Austria. Not a great choice for content, but in terms of multiple reliable sources presenting significant coverage, I'd say that the GNG threshold is probably met. As far as I know, the TV WikiProject doesn't have specific notability criteria akin to WP:NFF, which requires that some aspect of production (ex: principal photography) commence before an article can be created, so I don't know how this series would be any different than, say, any upcoming Nickelodeon TV series article for which there were few reliably published details. So I lean toward keep, but also think a redirect might be an alternative until ____ criterion is satisfied, whatever that would be. (Seems like something the WikiProject TV community would have to discuss.) For instance, if we said that an article should not be created until a reliable published source releases a proposed launch date, then this article might be a candidate for redirect until a reliable source announced a premiere date. This source indicates a speculated October 2016 premiere, but BollywoodLife fails WP:UGC in my experienced opinion. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:34, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
I note that you've added some sources, which started to sway me but now we have anonymous editors removing the sourced content and adding unsourced claims in its place, so I'm not sure where to go. Maybe redirection with the redirect being indef semi-protected? --AussieLegend () 19:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, what's up with that? Redirect could be an option. The claim that it has been moved to 2017 makes me a little more wary about maintaining the article, but homeboy didn't source that, so I dunno either. I'm starting to feel like erring on the side of "too soon" might be the way to go. It's hard to justify an article when there's very little being said about it. The series is supposed to air next month but nobody's written anything about it? Seems weak. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:18, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Fails GNG, does not meet relevant sports guidelines. This is a short-season summer baseball league whose players are limited to NCAA-eligible college players only. It is not a professional league, and does not have professional players. It is also very local; it only has teams in New York State.

  • Delete. Contra to 78.26, we are not talking about the definition of notability one might find on Wiktionary, but the specific Wikipedia definition of notability. Nothing the subject is or does confers notability in that regard. One thing, and one thing only, confers it—the availability of substantial amounts of reference material written about the subject (directly about the subject, not about something affiliated with the subject) by sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. No number of name drops or blurbs in such sources confers notability in that regard, nor does "influence" or anything else. I couldn't find that type of reference material before (hence the previous nomination), and I still see no reason to believe it exists now. As to "NMUSIC #5", firstly, this is notability criteria for a band (per the guideline: "musicians or ensembles"), not a label, so that doesn't apply here as the article is not about a band. NMUSIC #5 also specifically references major record labels with a specific pointer to the article about major labels. This label is not listed there, nor can I find any reference indicating that it is considered a major label and should be on that list. All that aside, even if it did meet that SNG, meeting an SNG confers a presumption of notability, but that is a rebuttable presumption if the references can be shown to in fact not be out there (the guideline even says "may be notable" if they meet such a criterion). In this case, they are, to the best of my ability to find, not in existence. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
You ceased reading NMUSIC#5 too soon. I never claimed that Carrot Top was one of the major record labels. These are very, very few. Instead, the salient point is what follows: "one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." According to this, Carrot Top Records easily fits the definition of "one of the more important indie labels." It comes down to what makes a record label notable, and I already presented my case on that point. As a discographer, I would be sorry to see this article go, even though I have no particular interest in the genres generally recorded by this label. The article presents disparate, useful, and verifiable information from a variety of reliable sources, regarding a topic which will be of interest to musicologists, disographers, and music historians when researching certain areas of Chicago (and much broader because of its distributions) music. As such, I can see no benefit to the encyclopedia should this article be deleted, and in fact some harm. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:21, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
The article as it stands is unconvincing; it's largely a list of the acts that published with the label (cited to the latter's web site) and does not really provide any content of value to the readers. I honestly don't see anything worth salvaging. I looked for sources but could find only passing one line mentions. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:38, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps the article is of little interest to the general reader, but Wikipedia is a specialist encyclopedia as well as a general encyclopedia. To someone who performs the type of research I do (although my research is towards much older record label entities), the article contains information about the when and why of its founding, how it played a role in a distribution debate between independent labels and major retailers, that that label also had direct retail interests, and that it additionally acted as a distributor. Yes, the article is a stub, but the information contained is WP:V. Because of the length of history and the large number of notable artists, the topic is highly likely to draw interest from discographers/musicologists. Specialized, sure, but I respectfully disagree that it provides no value to any reader, and therefore the encyclopedia is not improved by its deletion. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:32, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete largely per nom. What coverage I have been able to find seems to come from sources that while not necessarily doubtful in their veracity, are compromised either by some tangible connection to the subject, or by being purely local.

  • Delete the argument for keeping would seem to rely on the "award winning" discussed. However, seeing the press release from the award organization, Cataldo is not mentioned; this is an award that goes to the product, and doesn't automatically tie to an individual (unlike, say, how a producer gets a Best Picture Oscar or an author gets a major book award. (The article curiously both overstates how it was described and understates it simultaneously; when it says it was the third best water in the world in 2015, it's using a 2013 source, the year it took the bronze. In 2015, it took the gold, so it was the best... but only the best purified water, and only among those entered.) The TV source reeks of churnalism. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC) And just to back up what I say about the award not necessarily representing the world's best: "What is surprising however is how few bottlers are actually involved in the competition." --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:38, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

      The article notes:

      The Panthers and Seattle Seahawks have met so often the past four seasons, it’s almost like they’re division rivals – if not for the 2,500 miles that separate them.

      Sunday’s divisional-round game at Bank of America Stadium will be the sixth time Carolina (15-1) and Seattle (11-6) have played since 2012, including the Panthers’ playoff loss at Seattle last January.

      The teams will meet again next season in Seattle for a seventh time in five seasons.

      The Observer looks at the recent games in one of the NFL’s more interesting – and improbable – rivalries:

    2. Condotta, Bob (2016-01-14). "The top 5 games in Seahawks-Panthers history". The Seattle Times. Archived from the original on 2016-09-28. Retrieved 2016-09-28.

      The article notes:

      Carolina might not always be in the Seahawks’ minds, as James Taylor sang in the 1970s, but it does seem to often be in their way.

      For two franchises on opposite coasts and in separate divisions, the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle.

      They will do so again Sunday when the Seahawks play at Carolina in a divisional playoff game, the Panthers once again standing between Seattle and the Super Bowl.

      In all, the teams have met eight times in the regular season and twice in the postseason — both of those in years in which the Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl.

      Six of those meetings have come since Pete Carroll took over as the Seahawks’ coach in 2010, meaning they have faced Carolina more than any other non-NFC West team in that time.

      We could just list the games the Seahawks have played against Carolina. Instead, we thought we’d rate them in order of importance.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the Panthers–Seahawks rivalry to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep - Most series between teams in major leagues have narratives that stretch beyond a single season, and once they pass gng (and thus satisfy nrivalry), I think an article is fine. I think this passes gng, both as a series and as a "rivalry". Smmurphy(Talk) 14:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep - I was sceptical but I think Toa Nidhiki05's sources are adequate to pass GNG. I am not convinced by some of the counterarguments to his sources - if the headline states that the article is about a rivalry and the article describes the rivalry, it is not relevant how often the term "rivalry" is used in the article.

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a community newspaper in a small suburb of a larger city. WP:NMEDIA does not grant an automatic presumption of notability to all newspapers that exist -- a newspaper still has to be the subject of reliable source coverage to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and does not get a "no sourcing required" freebie just because its own self-published website or an online archive of its issues nominally verifies that it existed. I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find some reliable sourcing about it, but nothing in the article right now is enough. Bearcat (talk) 17:47, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Small suburb of a larger city?  I don't think so.  And the Golden Gate Bridge wasn't built until 1937.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:11, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete concur with nom. No independent coverage cited nor found. MB 04:44, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to California Digital Newspaper Collection  A Wikipedia search for "Sausalito News" shows that this reference is cited often.  The article is unsourced, citations don't appear by themselves, and WP:V is a core content policy.  WP:IAR, since WP:DEL7 cannot be used as stated to protect the encyclopedia from unsourced articles.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:11, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep -- I added citations and content to the article, and I believe it's an acceptable stub on a historic paper at this point. Also ping Unscintillating and Bearcat to see what they think.

  • Keep : Sufficiently sourced. pretty IittIe Iiar 05:17, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The sources show that it exists, but little more. FalconK (talk) 06:55, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment Newspapers.com does seem to have coverage. Let me see if I can clip some. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:08, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep  While this article is starved for better detail, it is verifiable that the paper existed in 1887, and an unknown part of it has been archived at the [[California Digital Newspaper CollectionUnscintillating (talk) 00:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Blatant promotion bombarded with passing mentions, non mentions and faked verification. Random refs thrown in to verify related aspects that are not specifically about this software. Deceptive article from paid promoters. This software lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. None of the awards are major. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Provisional Keep - The Washington Post article mentioned in the lead gives a good mention of DistrictBuilder in the context of it being a notable method for citizen groups to try redistricting. It's only a single mention, but the context provides weight, IMO. That's one RS... I usually require two. The reference "Mason Political Scientist McDonald Wins Award for Redistricting Software" would be my second, except the link is dead and the wayback machine doesn't have it. If the content of that reference is what our article claims it to be, then that is plenty sufficient to merit keeping. I do note that a large number of other references are tagged that they don't actually back up the claims made in our article... so, I'll grant that this is not a necessary given.
IFF someone can find this dead link, and it checks out, or if another source for the award can be found, this is a Keep vote. Otherwise, mark me down as ambivalent. All the "statement not supported by reference" tags is certainly troubling, after all. But AfD is not cleanup, so... Fieari (talk) 07:22, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Mason ref is primary, comes from one of the developers employer. Article itself is available here. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:33, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Okay, the article is primary... but is the award self given (a vanity award)? More importantly, is the award NOTABLE? If the award is notable, then that in addition to the Washington Post reference would be sufficient for me to make this a firm keep. I'm not certain it is notable, and my google news searches on the award are giving me results that I'm not 100% certain are actually related. Do you know anything about the award? Fieari (talk) 23:53, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Best I can see, it's an award from an individual convention. Register and pay, you are in line for an award. Small pool, small audience. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:54, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete Softwares tend to have some of the best coverage available and here it clearly doesn't satisfy. This Washington Post coverage is very brief, like 2 -3 sentences and I don't see enough depth over here. Neither do I see any other reliable third party sources covering it. Wikipedia is a not a directory of all software and this is pretty much a non-notable one. This doesn't pass GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:05, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
