Miss Melera has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works. In the references given this mentions her in one sentence along with other DJs; this merely has a photo of her (she is not even mentioned in the article); this is a social media site for electronic music; and this like the second merely has a photo of Melera and doesn't even mention her. The article makes no claims of albums charting, being certified gold, or any other facet of WP:MUSIC. She may meet the criteria but this article isn't reflecting it. Justeditingtoday (talk) 23:50, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Lacks the coverage needed for WP:MUSICBIO. Agree with nom regarding article sources. Searching finds plenty of mentions in event performer lists. Best found was this event bio blurb. Happy to reconsider if better sources are found. Gab4gab (talk) 22:41, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Although it sounds notable from the first sentence "...in 150 cities" this is in fact just a national academic competition like hundreds that happen all over the world all the time. Article - which also appears promotional for the Gate Academy - was mostly written by a COI editor and all the references are primary. There's not a lot out there in terms of references and many are to this which appears to be a different competition with the same name. Black Kite (talk) 23:47, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Subject fails WP:NCORP (no independent proof it's the largest exchange in Central Europe, if that even matters) as well as WP:GNG. All I could find independent of the subject was promotional junk like this. Sources like the e15.cz piece look promotional, too, just restating what the corporate masters dictated. As this was created by an SPA I have doubts that this wasn't a paid-for article. There's not even a Czech-language version! Chris Troutman (talk) 23:31, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Per WP:NCORP and WP:PROMO. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 00:12, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I made some improvements to the article. The closest to a WP:RS I got was czechcrunch.cz (itself a play on TechCrunch), which is mentioned a few times on the Czech Wikipedia. This web-page mentions peering.cz several times, but as far as I can see (which is not far in Czech) with trivialities that could just be material forwarded directly from peering.cz. I guess peering.cz can maybe remain mentioned in the two other pages that currently mention it, just not as a link to its own page. The one of these two places that has actual numbers on peering.gz also cites a self-published source, though. Lklundin (talk) 07:10, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment There is coverage that appears to be from reliable independent sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Gab4gab (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Gab4gab: I'm not sure any of these sources are reliable. As Halibutt points out, numbers one and two are the same promotional piece written by the same guy, hosted in two different places. Maybe you should have read them. That said I don't know if I would connote general notability or WP:SIGCOV from the remaining three. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:00, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @Halibutt and K kisses: You are listed at WP:Translators_available#Czech-to-English and have contributed recently. Could you help out here, by checking if the above listed sources do indeed make some non-trivial metion of Peering.cz, and if so, if any of them can be used as source for the information currently in this article! Either way, many thanks for your contributions! Lklundin (talk) 12:51, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @Lklundin: can't comment on the other two sources as they seem not to be independent, but the E15 piece seems to genuinely treat the subject as notable. It doesn't prove its' claim of being "the largest", but it mentions the company serves, among others, Google and Orange. The same author seems to be covering the company's creation ([6]), their expansion on home market (here and here), their expansion into Slovakia (here). The matter is covered also by this piece in Lupa.cz, which seems to be a decent source. All in all, I would treat the topic as notable, but the way it is now - its' notability is not clear from the article. Which is what matters. //Halibutt 22:00, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per Halibutt's comments. If all those sources cover what you say they cover, then it would seem to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Quality of the article now doesn't matter per WP:NEXIST. It's the existence of good sources out there to determine notability that matters. The article content can always be fixed. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 17:23, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
Relisting comment: It seems the tone of this discussion changed about halfway through. Any new comments about the new sourcing claims?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton | Talk 19:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @Chris troutman: Yes, I see now that two articles are the same. I feel bad that I was so easily fooled by the author name appearing at the beginning of one and the end of the other. I attempted to locate independent coverage better than the junk article you located. The articles appeared be independent and have coverage of Peering.cz. I'm not aware any connection between the authors and the subject organization. It doesn't matter if the articles are promotional. It's Wikipedia articles that require NPOV. Sources that promote things are just fine to establish notability. Although I said they were reliable sources on reflection I have to admit I have no information on their reliability. Gab4gab (talk) 23:06, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Gab4gab:
"Sources that promote things are just fine to establish notability."
I don't think this is so. WP:N requires that sources be independent. I assume if a piece is promotional it was bought, and therefore not independent. If we had a reliable source that gave glowing coverage that would be fine but since I don't know anything about these websites I don't know how much to trust them. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:14, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- I will happily agree that there's a lot we don't know. Gab4gab (talk) 00:28, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Gab4gab:
- Keep. After the comments of Halibutt who can actually understand the sources, I retract my 'Delete' vote in favour of a 'keep' vote. Lklundin (talk) 07:45, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

A local historian and teacher with no special claim to notability. The three refs provide no evidence of notability. They show he exists and has written some books about local history but no evidence of any notability.

- This article's subject has sufficient nobility for the following reasons:
1. Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for Lifetime Achievement, presented by Lt. Gov. David C. Onley, Feb. 21, 2013. 2. Author of 39 books on the history of Muskoka. Katsheron (talk) 22:36, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, at this time: I am going to look at this from a very narrow point of view, concerning WP:policies and guidelines, that include using historical books and considering Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features), Wikipedia:Geographic imbalance, and Wikipedia:Notability (geography), that will add to regional and state prominence, so giving notability to the author. Historical books are important to society, and we can't have a national history without the foundation of local history. 38 books, especially if not self-published, is more than trivial historical prominence, and if we don't consider this important we might as well get rid of all local places such as lighthouses or town historical interests. Because a reference is not "listed" does not mean it does not exist. Regional coverage is acceptable as notability and one book on Texas Rangers would be regional as well as state significance. I have found evidence that some of the books are listed at several libraries, not just in one county, so I am inclined to lean towards regional and state notability. The author wrote an encyclopedia of history that expands coverage to more than just a single town or even county before he died. Note: Angelina Co. historian and author Bob Bowman dies at 77 With such regional and state notability an author with 38 historical books would be notable for Wikipedia inclusion. I do plan to look at the article, as well as sources, for article expansion as well as linking to other relevant articles. Otr500 (talk) 11:05, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep A well referenced article. Subject is renown in his area and has influenced the popularity of Muskoka to its present coveted vacation destination status.AaronBC86 (talk) 02:11, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- — AaronBC86 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Delete. This is written like a résumé, not an encyclopedia article, and is referenced far too strongly to local community weekly newspapers in his own local area with no evidence of sufficient coverage in reliable sources — the only newspaper reference here that goes beyond local coverage in Bracebridge/Huntsville is the paid-inclusion obituary of his daughter in the Barrie Examiner, which is not a notability assisting source. And the significant number of references here which amount to "cited in other non-notable author's work" don't assist notability either, because Denniss is not the subject of those citations. The Lieutenant Governor's Heritage Award is also not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to be referenced much better than this — as witness the fact that the article creator had to create the winners category for it, because nobody else who's won it has an article on that basis alone. There simply is not the depth or breadth of reliable sourcing here that would be required to get a person of primarily local notability into an international encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I am at a loss as to why Wikipedia could keep an article like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokuhaku_(album) and not the one for Gary Denniss. Katsheron (talk) 16:56, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. For one thing, that album does appear to satisfy our notability standards for WP:NALBUMS, by having charted in the top ten in a country's national record charts — yes, the article needs to be better than it is before it can be considered a good article, but it does have a valid notability claim for what it is. That's in no way comparable to the question of whether a writer has a valid notability claim, or the depth and breadth of reliable sourcing to support it, under WP:AUTHOR; each topic has to be evaluated on its own standalone merits, and there's no such thing as "if that thing has an article then this one automatically has to have one too", especially if you're comparing two topics that don't even belong to the same class of thing. That's not even comparing apples to oranges, which at least are both fruit; it's comparing apples to antelopes. Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - while there is some coverage out there, it does not rise to the level of significant, in-depth sourcing necessary to show they pass WP:GNG.

- Keep, tentatively: I see that this article was created 12 May 2016 (see this early version with substantially the same material as had already appeared in the "Berggruen Philosophy Prize" section of the Berggruen Institute article. There is duplication, yes, e.g. listing all members of the awards committee, which should not be in two places. It may be reasonable for the material to be split out of the Institute article, and then its section should now be edited down. --doncram 02:32, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Weak keep - assuming this is an annual prize (as it is intended to be), it is useful to have a page independent of the institution. If the prize was discontinued, it might makes sense to merge it back into the institute.

- Redirect - AngusWOOF By the way: either you or the article is wrong: Ban Yamato is not from Inazuma Eleven, he is apparently from Little Battlers Experience (the Inazuma Eleven appearance was apparently from some crossover special). I don't think that series is very popular, and I don't really see much coverage for Kubota, even in Japanese. She doesn't have any other major roles of note either. However, given that Little Battlers Experience is relatively recent, I don't see how Kubota isn't a possible search term, and as a such, a redirect shouldn't hurt.

A highly promotional article on an unremarkable talent competition with no indications of notability or significance; fails WP:NORG for lack of significant coverage that discusses the topic directly and in detail. The sources listed in the article are either local to the area (i.e. "local resident does well") or non independent of the subject.
Copy contains: "The top annual prize is a round trip air fare from Metro Vancouver to the Philippines and a $1000 cash prize" etc, strongly suggesting lack of notability for this local contest.

The references here are either unreliable sources or glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things, not coverage that's substantively about it — and my favourite of all is reference #6, where the headline given in the citation is "Filipino Fiesta in BC" but the headline on the article if you follow the URL is "IBM launches new generation mainframe".

- Comment, precisely why this incident isn't really notable than any other incidents. It just happens that this particular case went viral in social media. At best, the national media covered the incident to bring light to a prevailing wider issue (Road rage in Metro Manila) like how there is a shock incident every New Years Eve in the country to highlight the issue of illegal firecrackers/indiscriminate firing of guns resulting to stray bullet incidents. Although a generalized article not focusing on a particular hyped incident on the issues I mentioned might be notable enough for an article.
Hariboneagle927 (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Aside from the traffic congestion in Metro Manila, which cause many road rage accidents, the Quiapo incident may reflect security of cyclists, along with many accidents involving motor vehicle collisions with bicycles. An article discussing bicyclists' safety in the Philippines can be created to explain the issues they face, and mention incidents reflecting them, if sources explicitly state that fact. Yes, bicyclists in the Philippines face safety and security issues from undisciplined drivers, and only a few roads have bicycle-friendly facilities, like bike lanes or bicycle priority, however many drivers still ignore themy, and cyclists are at risk.-TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 03:16, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep I noted on the talk page of the article that I felt that there was over-emphasis on the particular term, "surveillance capitalism". This term refers to a concept which developed after about 2000, so there is not yet one name for it, but "surveillance capitalism" is one term for describing the concept. The concept itself is discussed in various places. For example, in Tim Wu's Attention Merchants he talks about companies watching what everyone does and selling both the public's attention and detailed information about audiences. I would not object to a name change for this concept if consensus found that another term fit better with the available sources. For example, "Selling of mass surveillance data" might be a more general name for this, or "Commercial capture of surveillance data", or "Mass surveillance data as an asset". The Zuboff theory itself could probably be notable as a stand-alone article, but right how, the content of this Wikipedia article is covering a broader concept which I also think is well covered by the cited sources.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Very surprised this exists as an independent article and has since 2005. Incredibly minor character from an important novel with slightly less minor appearance in a much less famous work by the same author. I don't doubt that, given the amount of scholarship on Tolkien's work, a lot of critical work has covered this character, but it seems incredibly arbitrary that Farmer Maggot gets a standalone article while Durin's Bane is consigned to a list within an article on its species -- maybe create Hobbit#Individual hobbits? While my experience with Wikipedia's coverage of Game of Thrones characters made finding this article a breath of fresh air (how rare it is that English Wikipedia includes an article on an obscure literary character who specifically wasn't played up in a popular screen adaptation and thus wasn't covered extensively in celebrity gossip mags and the like), I seriously think this article might be pushing it. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:57, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- It's a tough call but I would argue for keeping the standalone article. There are several scholarly works that have analysed this character and like Durin's Bane, Maggot has been the subject of professional Tolkien art. In the end it is the combination of reliable sources that makes one article worth of keeping while another one may get redirected. On that note, Durin's Bane used to be a standalone article too but apparently it was redirected to the main Balrog page because it didn't contain any sources at all and consisted more or less of in-universe content.
- Anyhow, should there be consensus to not have a full article on Farmer Maggot, the page should not be deleted but merged into List of Hobbits. De728631 (talk) 16:05, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- I do not favor deleting articles that are more than stubs and that are well sourced. Pages are not a scarce resource to compete for. If some other equally worthy subject does not have its own page, then to me, that justifies writing another page rather than deleting or consolidating what already exists. I don't support keeping arbitrary trivia within articles, and, sure, the whole article in this case might be argued to be trivia. However, given the subject's mention in scholarly works and its portrayal in popular culture, I don't think that argument is likely to succeed. This is not to say that the article is particularly good as written. It's not, but it's also not merely dreck. Strebe (talk) 16:40, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
I didn't invoke GNG as a deletion rationale (in fact I specifically said thatI don't doubt that, given the amount of scholarship on Tolkien's work, a lot of critical work has covered this character, but it seems incredibly arbitrary that [this fictional character should get a standalone article]
. Sorry to nitpick, but this is one of my pet peeves. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC)- Nonsense. Notability is judged by passing the GNG and more specialised policies in some cases.

- You are absolutely right to say that
[n]otability is judged by passing the GNG and more specialised policies in some cases
, but notability isn't the only thing determining what topics have standalone articles on Wikipedia. I would love to see some of the 1,330 books discussing the character in-depth. At present the article cites Chance's monograph as saying something that would probably be more at home in our article on Frodo Baggins (that's the context in which she writes it), Dickerson's article (which I admit I haven't read) as saying something about hobbit society (on which we already have a separate article), two illustrations of the character by famous artists who have probably collectively painted hundreds of named characters in Tolkien's legendarium and which are unreliable sources for just about anything we could say about the character other than that they were painted by Artist X on Date Y, and a couple of fictional books by Tolkien himself. I'm assuming your 1,330 estimate comes from GBooks, but as usual GBooks seems to be playing mind-games with me because I'm only seeing about 60 hits. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 08:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC)- Your Google-fu is weak! Anyhow, I just added some more analysis on the published Maggot and his early development. De728631 (talk) 15:57, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

- Merge into List of hobbits. If there were a List of minor Lord of the Rings characters article, that would work too. There's certainly academic discussion that mentions Maggot, but almost everything I can find discusses him in the context of his effect on Frodo. The most detailed seems to be Atherton's discussion, which talks about prior versions of the character. It's marginal, but I think everything that needs to be said would fit into a list article. I also don't think it particularly helps the reader to have characters such as Ghân-buri-Ghân and Farmer Maggot separated into tiny articles; a single article is much useful to someone exploring the background of the book.

In comparison, we do not have an article for Learning 2.0, but we do have one for Library 2.0.

nothing but WP:ROUTINE coverage. The assertion that it is the oldest Hindu temple in the US could be a claim to notability, but no sourcing is there for that claim and I found none. No indication of any other historic or architectural significance. John from Idegon (talk) 18:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

The informations i got about the temple is from their website. It may or may not be the first hindu temple in U.S. but only few temples of Hinduism are scattered over U.S.A, people can knew about them through Wikipedia. This is an important temple in U.S., eventhough it isnt first, it had attracted a large people of Hindus in U.S and had become one of the most famous temple in U.S. So it must be kept on. I am ready to give additional sources and expand it with truthful informations. Please wait until i fully finish the article.--wiki tamil 100 (talk) 03:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Inadequately sourced article, from which I've had to strip some advertorially-leaning promotional nonsense ("first known superstation"...er, bulldroppings) about a low-power television station. WP:NMEDIA's base requirement for a television station to earn an automatic presumption of notability in the absence of a demonstrated WP:GNG pass is that it actually originates at least a bit of its own original programming (i.e. a local newscast) -- but this station is licensed as a translator, for which there is no automatic presumption of notability. A station without at least a minimal amount of its own local programming can, of course, still build notability through the use of reliable sources that pass WP:GNG -- but there's no evidence of that being shown here, where the only "sources" are the standard media directory external links. This simply rebroadcasts a bunch of network feeds with no evidence of inserting even its own local commercials, let alone any actual local programming, so there's no automatic inclusion freebie in the absence of enough media coverage to clear GNG.

- Delete: Stations that exist solely as full-time rebroadcasters of networks (or other stations) don't generally receive the presumed notability of broadcast stations unless there's something (preferably verifiable) to indicate the station has been anything more than that. Particularly for these types of low-power stations, you pretty much need more sourcing than the standard FCC and RabbitEars directory sourcing that establish that the station exists — and existence not only isn't notability, but also doesn't prove notability. As far as I can tell, KRID-LD simply doesn't have the sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline. (And I'd probably go so far as to say that any claim that a low-power station that signed on in 2014 is "the first known TV "Super Station" that broadcasts horizontally and vertically", when the term "superstation" has been around since at least the 1970s, is probably a red flag further establishing non-notability.) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:18, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Really nowhere to redirect to; station has no cable coverage, claims on website are plain bizarre (Newsmax being the "First dedicated News Network for households that have an antenna"; that network's business strategy is more over the Internet with the allowance to offer the network over-the-air). Usually I'm inclined to keep as an FCC-licensed station, but it seems like this is one of those 'run for fun' stations with no intention to do anything but clog the airwaves and being the 'leftovers' station in the market for declining networks like Retro TV and Heartland, and you can bet the moment H&I gets a full-power slot they're gone from this one.

- Keep. Google scholar found four papers calling these things Leinster groups, none by Leinster himself (unsurprisingly — most mathematicians tend not to call things after themselves, preferring to let others do that). They include one where the subject is in the title, in a famous journal: Baishya, Sekhar Jyoti (2014), "Revisiting the Leinster groups", Comptes Rendus Mathématique, 352 (1): 1–6, doi:10.1016/j.crma.2013.11.009, MR 3150758. Another paper primarily on this exact topic (and mentioning the name in the abstract but not the title) is De Medts, Tom; Maróti, Attila (2013), "Perfect numbers and finite groups", Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico della Università di Padova, 129: 17–33, doi:10.4171/RSMUP/129-2, MR 3090628. A more detailed search of papers citing Leinster's unpublished preprint [17] found 11 of them. To me that meets the low bar of WP:GNG for topics of academic research: it is something studied in-depth and published in reliable sources by multiple independent groups of academics. By the way, we might also want to add some disambiguation: Google scholar also finds that "Leinster group" can refer to a group of mountains near Mount Leinster, a series of carved crosses in the high mountains of Ireland, a series of hot springs in Ireland, and a series of nickel sulfide deposits in Australia. Nominator should be warned to follow WP:AGF; the assumption that editors who create articles on obscure topics must be doing so out of self-promotion is a violation of this guideline. And who is David? The article creator is certainly not Tom Leinster, as he doesn't seem to have known that Leinster's paper was eventually published. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

There were two notable things about the sessions - the fierce debate about the currency demonetization, and the rancor between the different parties that erupted during the sessions. The former could go in the demonetization article, but where would the latter go? While I wouldn't do this kind of article myself, and there are no similar articles that I can find for other Parliament sessions, the info is good, and after some grammar cleanup it reads better.

The Hindustantimes article on this topic indicates that there was only a "brief spate" during the parliamentary session and the real uproar later spilled outside the time frame of the parliamentary session.

- @Calton You're right, there is no such thing as a Wikipedia code. I meant neutrality regarding the secondary sources. We can't subjectively sort secondary sources based on their circulation. Small town newspapers started last century and earned their place to be reliable news sources for local NC community. It looks like they were the first to write about the artist before The Village Voice did in 2000. -- Tanton2008 (talk) 15:12, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- I meant neutrality regarding the secondary sources OK, now you're just using random words you pulled out of the guidelines. And yes, area of coverage -- not circulation, which is your projection -- is one of the many things used to assess sources.
- ... earned their place to be reliable news sources for local NC community Which, also, no one has questioned, so another straw man. So, to repeat, small-town hometown newspapers do NOT argue for global, national, or even regional notability, nor are they really acceptably reliable sources regarding things outside their circulation area, which you implicitly accept when you wrote "for local NC community". --Calton | Talk 00:09, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - @Orange Mike Again, the view point is subjective instead of neutral. Small-town or big-town is a wrong approach. Instead, we should ask the following question - Are Mountain Times, Watauga Democrat and The Village Voice independent reliable sources? The answer is yes.
- Wrong/irrelevant question. One more time: the issue is notability, and even if we accept your reframing it's still "no" because whether a source is considered "reliable" depends entirely on what it's a source FOR. --Calton | Talk 13:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

- Nothing in its article suggests the Ward Nasse Gallery has any sort of permanent collection nor that exhibiting there is any sort of marker of notability or recognition. And how do you know that this guy's work is owned by Goldman Sachs and/or Cantor Fitzgerald, and what difference would it make that a couple of financial firms needed stuff to hang on the walls of their meeting rooms, anyways? --Calton | Talk 13:22, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
- Barron's (newspaper) wrote about Ward-Nasse Gallery. The gallery has ben in SoHo NYC for more than 40 years. Regarding Anthony Coffey private collections, this information was published @ his website. -- Tanton2008 (talk) 20:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- The mere fact of Barron's publishing something about a gallery says little, if anything, about the gallery's notability or usefulness as a mark of recognition for any of the the artists that have displayed there, and even less about any particular artist. And the stuff about financial firms buying any of this guy's stuff is a) irrelevant to saying anything about his notability, status, and/or talent; and b) a CLAIM by the artist himself, so a primary source at best. Random name-dropping is NOT evidence of anything except attempts at resume-padding. --Calton | Talk 04:22, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Article references either lack independence or do not have sufficient breadth of readership (Denver Post) to substantiate a notability claim. I suspect that this article may have been written by someone such as a publisher or marketer (or the book's author?) with a COI, and the paucity of adequate references reflect this. Discussion of the book in independent reliable sources appears to be scarce. Book has won no literary awards and has not been reviewed in a major national newspaper. KDS4444 (talk) 11:51, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444:But the Denver Post is an independent source, with information about the novels. The lunacon.org source is also independent and has information about the book's author. The novel spent 20 weeks on the Amazon Kindle Bestseller List too. SFrancis1608 (talk) 11:56, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- The lunacon.org identifies the author as one of several presenters at a conference— this is not the same thing as a published independent reliable source, it is only a conference web page with unknown readership and no evidence of editorial oversight; the Denver Post article is independent, yes, but as I already said, I don't think it has the breath of readership to indicate that the books it reviews are going to qualify as notable here on Wikipedia; lastly, having appeared on a bestseller list, while a good start, is not enough to support this notability claim: where was it on this list? Is it a list of fictional books sold or a list of all books sold? How long is the list? If the list is of 200 top fiction books, then being there for 20 weeks at position 187 starts to sound less convincing. If the book was truly notable, there should be ample discussion of it in the book reviews of multiple major national papers— I was not able to find any such discussion. KDS4444 (talk) 12:07, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444: I read the rules for substantiating Wikipedia articles. There are five sources for the article and five external pages which back up what the article says. I have also quoted from these sources to ensure that the article remains valid.SFrancis1608 (talk) 12:20, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444:The Denver Post picked up their story from Newsday's story on 2/13/2008, about it being one of the first Kindle books: circulation 437,000 Daily 495,000 Sunday. The book was top five on Kindle in action, adventure and war too SFrancis1608 (talk) 13:56, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444:The Denver Post has a readership of 1.2 million. I think you should take a look at the Wikipedia page for the Denver Post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Denver_Post, which will give you more information about how popular the series is. SFrancis1608 (talk) 13:56, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability standards. References include a wiki, an article with a
onetwo sentence mention of this book, the web site of a company which promotes books on behalf of authors, the web site of a company selling the book, etc. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:55, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: But you're forgetting the Denver post article, which has a following of 1.2 million. The article is written in a neutral tone SFrancis1608 (talk) 15:08, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- No I'm not. That was that article which I said had a one sentence mention of the book, though checking now I see that actually two of the five sentences about Ben Parris are about Wade of Aquitaine, so I am correcting my post above. However, by no stretch of the imagination is that substantial coverage. As for being "written in a neutral tone", that is totally irrelevant to what I wrote above, which was about lack of evidence of notability. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: Could you let me know what is wrong with the article specifically? How can I fix it? SFrancis1608 (talk) 15:34, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- It isn't necessarily a question of "fixing"— notability is something which either is or is not, not something which one can fix by changing the presentation of existing information. The book may become notable in the future— that is always a possibility. But that does not mean that there is evidence for its notability right now. KDS4444 (talk) 01:07, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
@KDS4444: @JamesBWatson: If notability and substantial coverage vis a vis number of lines in a major paper is what you're concerned about, the entire Newsday story I cited--a full page-- was devoted to this article. SFrancis1608 (talk) 19:09, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
I just searched the Newsday website (you did not provide a link) but could find no evidence of their having written a piece on this book, though even if I had, "Newsday" appears to be only a local Long Island publication. KDS4444 (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2017 (UTC)Check that, I just did a second search and found the reference. It is titled "Cool2know", and here is the link. What I was not able to determine, however, without paying for access, is whether or not the article even mentions the book. The abstract does not, and the title does not suggest that it does. I am willing to grant (sight unseen) that the article does mention the book somewhere— that alone does not constitute substantive coverage of it. If the article were about the book, and if the article were published in a newspaper with broad circulation (I recant my previous assessment of the Denver Post, which likely does have readership breadth), and if there were at least two such articles in existence, a notability claim might stand. KDS4444 (talk) 20:00, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - this reads like a typical promo piece by somebody with strong affiliation with the books. No evidence that there is any significant notability here. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 19:13, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete There's limited evidence of notability. The book was self-published 9 years ago, and despite claims of initially being highly ranked on the Kindle, only has 22 reviews at this date. I put a delete vote on the author's article as well, since without the book being notable, there's not much else in the media coverage to suggest sufficient notability. Perhaps when the sequel comes out that will bring new interest in his work. Timtempleton (talk) 23:46, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Official state media such as the People's Daily or the Global Times have been covering the event since this early morning, and there is an article on the new York Times about it. OTOH, I noticed that you have been warned about this before. Guess old habits die hard. C-GAUN (talk) 17:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

- I am sorry, but this is a notable event not only in the aviation industry but to the general public as well. United violated Federal regulations by removing a fare-paying passenger from a non-overbooked flight and it may well set a legal precedence, not to mention the CDA officers involved in the incident are now suspended under the suspicion of using excessive force.

- Delete - Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING. Historical or newsworthy events that take place only once (such as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or the Columbine High School massacre) have to have a significant cultural, international, economic, societal, or governmental impact or be widely regarded as the cause of a notable or historical event. This article clearly doesn't come close to this requirement, and hence I believe it does not need an article on Wikipedia. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. (edit conflict) I'm not completely certain what I think about this article and this AFD (this incident is newsworthy but is it notable?) but, if this standalone article is deleted then the next question will become if there is editorial consensus either for or against including any of the content at the main United Airlines article (with the cycle of adding/reverting going on over there at the moment) but I suppose that is a matter to be taken up at that article's talkpage.

Arbitrary section break
- Keep. IF removed, what instead? Ignore the incident entirely? A brief mention in the Controversies section? Even in 5 years time, it might still be hard to evaluate the significance of the incident; it may be eventually a turning point for UA, or a turning point may come later after more such incidents TGcoa (talk) 07:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep This incident has gotten big enough internationally to the point of becoming of worldwide scrutiny. Furthermore, if the incident of the San Bernardino North Park Elementary School shooting is able to have a its own page why can't this incident as well? It's quite a controversial move that United Airlines made which has stimulated national discussion regarding the practices of overbooking and the use of force for civil matters. >>Atsuke (talk) 08:18, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

- Tentative keep, otherwise merge to either UA or overbooking article. This article in its current form is poorly written, enough to trigger this AfD. But I see some parallels to this particular AfD about a tasing incident, and apply an old argument that "WP:NOT#NEWS expressly states that "topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial"". Also considering WP:EVENT as a more up-to-date criteria: The level of coverage is substantial, the list of secondary sources that easily passes WP:V should prima facie suffice: This has turned into an investigation from DOT [18], suspension (and possibly charges) [19], a looming lawsuit [20], and an issue about race and response from a foreign country's population [21] [22] and all things considered prima farcie passes WP:GNG. Going by the airline incident criteria, this incident has a reasonable chance of "(resulting) in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry". Also see America West Airlines Flight 556 and nut rage incident where airline incidents in very unusual circumstances makes them sufficiently notable; to be forcibly removed in such a violent manner where the passenger has not posed a threat to safety is "extremely unusual" here [23]. - Mailer Diablo 12:25, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Mailer Diablo, thanks for laying out the case--though I am not convinced that this adds up to an independent article. If that were the case then millions of singular events can be split off from what otherwise would be main articles--think of Trump's tweets, for instance, every single one of which can be considered notable if we disregard NOTNEWS.

- Keep. I understand the NOTNEWS position, because this is not an accident with fatalities or major injuries, and had it not been taped it would probably not have become as big a story as it has become. However, the consequences and controversy the incident has caused is significant, so I agree with the analysis that Mailer diablo has put forward. Sjakkalle (Check!) 15:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete or redirect/merge to United Airlines]. Yes, it is IN THE NEWS, with lots of coverage, since "If it bleeds, it leads." But no, Wikipedia is not "News of The Week.." Fails WP:NOTNEWS. Tens of thousands of airline passengers a year do not get to fly due to airlines' overbooking. Others have had to get off the plane, and did so without drama, as did three passengers before the one man refused to comply with orders of the police to get off. There have been lots of other videos of people being dragged screaming off planes. It might deserve inclusion at the United Airlines article, since they apparently botched the process, when they could have seated the 4 employees before boarding the passengers, could have offered more money to get people to surrender their seats, or the police could have used more persuasion or simple strength to remove an elderly man rather than somehow smashing his face into something and dragging him down the aisle, then somehow letting him run back onto the plane several minutes later and removing him a second time. Then there is the tone-deaf post by an airline executive about having to "re-accomodate" passengers. Whatever slight coverage the incident merits would amount to a couple of sentences at United Airlines. It looks silly to have this article with its infobox listing "1 injured, 70 survivors" as if it were a plane crash. Edison (talk) 17:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

It does not violate WP:NOTNEWS since this doesn't read like a newspaper story or a short-term localized event. We are here to serve readers (of which I am one), not what a few editors think. However, I suggest we move it to another page. epicgenius (talk) 18:12, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

In a month's time, when the dust has settled, then the position can be reviewed and a decision made whether this was simply a transient news event per WP:NOTNEWS or whether there is encyclopaedic value. Deleting now, only for it to be possibly recreated if it turns out there is long-term value, is sub-optimum. Just Chilling (talk) 18:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - Does not need an article of its own; can be a footnote in the main United article. This is just another example of a 24-hour news cycle/social-media-fueled outrage pile-on that will be quickly forgotten as soon as the next news cycle/social-media outrage pops up. While it is in the news, its notability will fade in a matter of weeks, if not days. Darkest Tree Talk 18:19, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Procedural keep. Whether this falls into the category of NOTNEWS or has a lasting significance remains to be determined, and will largely depend on the follow-up and the media coverage to said follow-up. In the event that the follow-up establishes notability, then obviously there's no benefit to deleting. In the event that there is little or no follow-up and this was simply a 24 hour story that everyone forgets, to keep this discussion running will prejudice the likely future nomination in favour of keep, when in fact the correct decision might be to delete. StillWaitingForConnection (talk) 18:35, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS actually states As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events.

The United CEO who was named "Communicator of the year" by PR Week just a few weeks ago is now being criticized for a PR disaster in using the "re-accomodating" euphemism and is now calling it a "horrific event" and promising changes in procedures.

- KEEP FOREVER - This is absolutely an important article for United Airlines, law enforcement, USA, minority, Asian and Chinese communities, viral videos, etc. If this article is deleted, why don't we also delete all the other articles? The incidence has only been discussed by millions online. Regardless of future impact, if it is not important, notable, and persistent enough for it to be recorded for the sake of history alone, what is? Do we have to wait till billions of people are discussing it? Look at the sheer length of this discussion alone: so many people care enough about it!

- Strong Keep This is a pretty major incident in terms of PR, and has the potential to impact the company's reputation, stock prices, and ticket prices for a considerable amount of time after the fact, all of which, if it happens, can then be catalogued on the article. (Iuio (talk) 22:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC))
- Delete United Airlines is by far the worst airline I have ever flown with in any terms, but this incident simply does not suffice to be documented in a separate article. Merging this to the controversies section is a good solution.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

3rd arbitrary section break
- Delete or Merge I feel that what is already included in the United Airlines is plenty of information to support the topic at hand. Just because this recived a lot of media attention dosn't mean an article is needed. An event like this reciving this much contervocy is normal for todays socity. --KDTW Flyer (talk) 23:08, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep and rewrite per NOTNEWS and DINC (or merge, whichever action seems more appropriate). While it's definitely TOOSOON right now, the vast number of reliable sources found clearly indicates that this event has already had a major enough impact to warrant notability. However, it still needs to be rewritten to comply with GNG. ToThAc (talk) 23:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Rename. The incident is clearly notable, however, I feel as if there is a disconnect between the article structure and the actual subject. The name and structure of the article uses the template for aircraft incidents. However, this was not an aircraft incident, it was an airline incident. The flight number of the aircraft is irrelevant. The article should be renamed to something along the lines of 2016 United Airlines incident. The general content reminds me of something like The Bus Uncle. Note that the article is largely about the incident itself, and not about the vehicle in which the incident occurred. --NoGhost (talk) 23:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep (for now), per WP:RAPID. The work (making the article) is done. It may become a noteworthy event, or it might join the leggings incident. Either way, per WP:RAPID, it should be left until such time it is determined what the full impact of the incident is. If, at that time, it qualifies for and is voted to be deleted per WP:NOTNEWS, then the paragraph on UA's page will retain the noteworthy information. If it grows into a larger incident (or series of incidents), it may need to be moved to an appropriately titled page (such as a court case, etc). But, as stated, per WP:RAPID, strong keep. 173.227.169.66 (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep for now. When the news fallout is over, we will examine the real, long-term consequences. If this was just a terrible PR incident for United, it may be a good idea to delete this article or perhaps move it to Wikinews, but it certainly merits an addition in the criticism portion of the main article. Otherwise, if it marks long-term troubles for United or a major boycott, this article definitely deserves to be kept. Longbyte1 (talk) 00:23, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Significant outcome from this event, including major financlal loss of revenue to the airline, calls for a boycott, and it has brought “bumping” to the attention of the public in a way that I don’t think has ever happened before.

- Delete Clearly fails WP:NOTNEWS. A passenger was forced off a domestic flight in the United States. As the nominator indicated, the long term significance of this incident is unclear. Further, airlines have the legal right to remove passengers from their flights. So United's actions are not illegal. A d*ck move for sure, but not illegal. Just a few days ago, a French woman gave birth on a Turkish Airlines flight. This was also "in the news" around the world and covered by many of the same outlets covering this story. My point being, a story appearing in media outlets, does not necessarily make it notable enough for Wikipedia. Great Dessert (talk) 03:27, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep A notable event, not "routine" news. How enduring its significance will be remains to be seen, but extraordinary nature of the incident--now with multiple investigations and reactions from government agencies and officeholders (and a plenitude of RS)--qualifies for an article, although Merge is also a viable option.

- Keep. Holy crap this is a lot of comments, and it's still day one. I was originally going to go with a merge, but given that it's too early for a determination and it may keep growing (lawsuits, etc.), I think it does warrant its own article for now, if not for good. ansh666 05:43, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Yesterday I would've said delete as this appeared to be nothing more than a social media meme. But this is appearing to be a watershed moment in costumer service in general. There are multiple reliable sources going in-depth into the systemic institutional dysfunctions of United and other companies that allow such PR disasters such as this.

- Keep There is no need to "re-accommodate" this article because it is our policy that "there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover". The policy continues, "As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events". The topic is already highly notable, having many significant and independent sources. Such notability does not expire and so is only going to grow. Andrew D. (talk) 07:23, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep for now. As other have said there is absolutely no need for haste. If in a month or two the share prices recover, the controversy dies down, people forget about this and no changes are made then this would be worthy of deletion, for now it does not seem that way. I would note that unlike many other airline controversies this has created public interest in a change of procedure, even if it doesn't actually lead to such it will still be somewhat noteworthy because of that fact. 176.26.30.132 (talk) 09:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- Strong keep – This incident has been commented upon by multiple parts of the US government, including the White House and Congress. The incident also has an impact on international relations between the US and multiple Asian countries. The "popular culture"-section, while basically inappropriate, shows that the event is being discussed in creative works. I definitely believe the story has gone past the point where WP:NOTNEWS is relevant. ~Mable (chat) 10:40, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: As mentioned by others, WP:NOTNEWS states "editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events." (emphasis mine). Presumably, a significant current event is one that meets the WP:EVENT tests; and WP:SUSTAINED defers to WP:EVENT inclusion criteria. User:Mailer_diablo has shown above how this event meets those criteria - even more so now than when they first commented. WP:RECENTISM is not a policy, and so WP:EVENT should take precedence. Finally, the reason this AfD is so fluid is that the initial nomination was made contrary to WP:RAPID. Instead of waiting "a few days" as suggested, the nomination was made two and a half hours after the page was created. inkstalk 13:28, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep, as this is a topic of concern globally and is an international issue. Corresponding language articles in Cantonese Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia, and Korean Wikipedia. Discussed by the White House Press Secretary. Sourced and notable information in the article itself includes: Investigated by the United States Department of Transportation. Governor of New Jersey asked United States Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao to suspend allowing airlines to overbook passengers. United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation joined together in a bipartisan letter to the CEO. Twenty one members of the United States Senate also wrote to the CEO. Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton called for hearings in the United States House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Senators Robert Menendez and Chris Van Hollen called for an investigation. Chicago City Council’s Aviation Committee will hold hearings starting April 13 to investigate the incident. Impacted popular culture debate and parodied by comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. Emirates launched an advertising campaign that parodies United Airline's slogan and Muñoz's previous statements about airlines in the Middle East. Royal Jordanian has also tweeted that “dragging is strictly prohibited.” This is more than the event itself. This has risen to a global, pervasive, international response which triggered multiple invesigations at the local, state, and federal levels of government. This topic is notable, it satisfies WP:NOTE in multiple languages from multiple different countries, and it deserves to remain its own independent article. It should not be deleted. It should not be merged. It should remain its own separate article. It should continue to be expanded and improved. Sagecandor (talk) 15:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

What evidence is there and are there any sources or statements from Youtube? The ranking looks a lot like a Youtube user created playlist which may not meet standards as reliable source (WP:RELIABLE). To avoid concerns as original research (WP:OR), we would be looking for verifiable third party sources to ensure the list is complete and does not arbitrarily exclude certain videos.

I'm not sure what the "3 mentions" are, but I pulled up many English-language references and 100s of Chinese-language references after a quick search. --NoGhost (talk) 19:15, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - Obvious keep from me too. One of the major sites of Suzhou. References in the article demonstrate passing notability guidelines. The nom should be aware that WP:AFD only requires the existence of sources, not that they already be in the article. Frequently with Chinese names, there are multiple alternate Latin character spellings. With this subject there is at least "Zhongyuan Temple" (as indicated on Google Maps) and "Chongyuan Temple" as well as the simplified Chinese "重元寺" all of which bring up much more than three "brief mention" search results. --Oakshade (talk) 00:42, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

An unpassed U.S. bill. Not a law: a bill. Sources that basically say "Look, here's a bill" or "Look, here's a bill and here's what might happen if it passed. WP:CRYSTAL applies. Calton | Talk 11:12, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for your work here. I know you are trying to improve the encyclopedia, as am I. However, I respectfully disagree.
- Per the Wikipedia guideline for Notability: "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." Source: WP:N.
- Per the Notability guidelines:
- "A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
- * It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and
- * It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." Source: WP:N.
- The article passes Wikipedia's test for new articles, which can be found at the same page I've sourced above or specifically the section on that page which can be found at WP:GNG.
- Here are the itemized requirements found at WP:GNG which is listed at WP:N:
- * The article has significant coverage. While it only needs one source of significant coverage, it has several. Please view the list of references on the article you've proposed deleting. Among the references are Forbes, Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, the Competitive Enterprise Institute think tank, The Hill, and The New York Times.
- * Reliable sources. I would argue pretty easily that the above-mentioned resources are reliable and meet "editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline".
- * Secondary sources. The sources listed above are secondary, not primary.
- * "Independent of the subject." The bill and bill's authors did not write the news articles used as references listed above; thus the references are independent of the subject.
- The article is written in the past tense modal, (i.e. the bill "would have" done x, y z) because the congressional session in which the bill was introduced has concluded. The verb tense should not be confused as a "crystal ball". It makes no predictions of the future.
- Additionally, it's worth noting that dozens of legislative articles exist for bills that were not signed into law. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Proposed_legislation_of_the_114th_United_States_Congress and see similar categories for other Congresses. There are probably hundreds of unpassed bills that are standing articles in Wikipedia.

- @Amavaskiraat: I don't think just one source is enough to support notability and as per the source the film was released on 30th March but not received any reviews which is very uncommon for notable films. GSS (talk|c|em) 11:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GSS-1987: Hi, this is not the only reference. We have Radio Mirchi, wynk and hungama also in the references which are all independent and reliable. I checked for your review concern, and found that the film was released on 30th March digitally across the platforms, thus formal reviews are yet not available. Though I agree that we need more references, I think we have enough sources for the article to LIVE with the template WP:TM. Amavaskiraat (talk) 14:42, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Radio Mirchi and wynk are not reliable to support notability and yes the article need more reliable sources which address the topic directly and in details. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:03, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete: Fails WP:GNG criteria for WP:Notability and cant possibly satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (films) because it is an advertisement for a trailer of an upcomming film. I originally tagged the article and went to the talk page regarding issues. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there is just no notability for a trailer advertising a future film release. From the talk page: "This article is about a trailer, for a yet to be released film, and not the film itself. This means that it is promotional advertisement for a film with an unknown release date which is a future event. Other issues are the puffed up wording in the lead, "one of most haunted locations of India" that gets promoted to "the world’s most haunted location, Bhangarh". This is certainly dubious speculation, and even if there were multiple reliable sources, the wording would be subjective. Without attribution it is original research.
- notability: There are six references. 3 references are from the same "Hungama, Bollywood" source (counts as one towards notability and the last one is a dead link), radiomirchi.com is an audio review which is advertisement, YouTube (Dark Moon - Horror Channel) is about the trailer, and "Wynk Music" is about the three songs supposedly on the film, and I didn't look at reference reliability. The title of the article is Bhangarh: The Last Episode, not Bhangarh: The Last Episode trailer. Otr500 (talk) 08:40, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Keep. The article was created from a neutral point of view from the sources available at that time. The pillar of WP:5P2 was justified. Out of the sources now present with the article Bollywood Hungama and Wyunk are totally reliable sources. Wynk is a platform of Airtel, which is independent and so the Bollywood Hungama. The article in reference says that the film is released digitally. I have checked all over and found full movie available on many platforms. It seems to me an independent film not with the backing of big studios, which may be the reason for only a few sources available. Also I have read several articles on wikipedia where the notability is a concern or not so many reliable sources are attached with the article. But those article exists and thus gives chance to our readers to access information related to them. Having a fewer notable sources attached should not be the criteria for deleting an article altogether. One of our five pillar is WP:5P5, this article deserves to exists with the template WP:TM.

- You can't vote twice, so I struck the keep here. GSS (talk|c|em) 04:11, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. The article is not about a yet to release film. The sources says the film was released on 30th march'2017 digitally, links for full movie are available. puffed up wording needs the warning for citation, which is already there (Though an editor has added some notability for it now). As for as the number of sources are concerned WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV clearly says "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage".Aniltheultimate (talk) 14:53, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

- @GSS-1987: Yes I have checked WP:GNG and WP:NFILM and I am totally agree with Aniltheultimate that "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage". Also I don't understand on what basis it is being speculated in the discussion that source related to Radiomirch.com is an ADVERTISEMENT and sources related to Bollywood Hungama and Hungama.com are SAME (both are different platforms, the first one deals in entertainment and later one deals in digital music and both are operated by different editors and teams). Also why source related to Wynk.com are not considered for altogether, It is the digital music platform of Airtel and totally reliable. Thank and Regards.

- Redirect to OpenVZ. This company is well-known in the industry as the company which originally developed OpenVZ. Since it is only really notable for that, it possibly isn't notable enough for an article in its own right, but I think a redirect would be justifiable. SJK (talk) 09:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

The "Sons of Thundr" are not a church, but an organization based at a church. It was the organisation that was listed by SPLC (though that in itself doesn't make it notable). So we have a church, a pastor, and an organisation - all of whose notability is borderline. I don't think we can put them all together and say that they add up to being notable.

Neutral, but WP:AGF so Weak KeepDelete - however, keeping the general (WP:GNG) and specific (WP:NHOSPITALS) guidelines in mind, the article should not exist solely because the hospital exists - if there is press coverage (beyond routine "the victims were transported to ...") then it should be kept, otherwise it's not necessary to waste the time of Wikipedia editors on improving an article that can't be improved. 69.165.196.103 (talk) 02:37, 12 April 2017 (UTC) opinion changed based on new info, 11:16, 25 April 2017 (UTC) - Keep: Per this source, a whole chapter, and an entire book about this hospital.

- Hmm, you are right that the coverage refers to a different hospital, but not the one discussed below. There is a hospital in Quesada, Alajueda, Costa Rica with this name. There is also a hospital in Ñiquén, Chile, es:Hospital de San Carlos (Chile), with the history added by Knox490. A few more hospitals with similar names can be found at es:Hospital de San Carlos. I don't see why both of these hospitals wouldn't be notable - google news search of the hospital name and (either) city give lots of routine coverage and likely could give something deeper.

This page is about a hospital in Costa Rica. this source and this source and this source cited above (the last two of which are volume 1 and volume 2 by the same author, not a chapter and a book) are about a hospital with this name in Spain. The title of the first ref is "Constructing Spain: The Re-imagination of Space and Place in Fiction and Film, 1953-2003", for pete's sake so you cannot even claim the Spanish language problem. It is really despicable for people to just grab some ref that mentions the word X and claim a Wikipedia page about some specific X is notable.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Improperly sourced WP:BLP of a writer and activist. There's definitely a valid potential claim of notability here, but there's not enough substance or enough reliable sourcing to get the shot into the net -- as written, this only just barely goes any further than "Robert Carr is a person who exists", and both of its references are to content written by him rather than about him. As always, a writer gets over our inclusion standards by being the subject of media content written by other people, not by being the bylined author of media content about other things. I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find better sources than I've been able to, but nothing here is good enough as things stand right now. Bearcat (talk) 14:41, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I found an article on the Human Rights Campaign website about Carr's death, Human Rights and HIV Activist Robert Carr Mourned, as well as an article at The Jamaica Observer (here) but the latter ties in with the former.

- Comment I think it's also important to recognize that widely regarded activists like Dr. Carr (as seen by his remembrances), who are coming from developing countries like Trinidad and Jamaica where there is little to no social, political, legal, etc. mobilization/support/dialogue on HIV/AIDS and gender identity issues, are not going to have the same size editorial trail as their American and European counterparts. He is in a unique position because he appears to be a pioneer, of sorts, for the Caribbean region, in a relatively recent global movement that is still ongoing. I think the fact that he is cited by the publications and organizations that he is, easily satisfies the notability requirement. I've found the following secondary sources pertaining to Dr. Carr (a few of which have already been mentioned):
°Hon. Barbara Lee in United States House of Representatives (here) °The Atlantic (here) °The Robert Carr Doctrine (here) °amfAR (here) °UNAIDS (here) °[World] (here) °The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (here) °LA Times (here) °ICASO (here) °Human Rights Watch (here) °Pan American Health Organization (here) °UNAIDS Caribbean (here) °The Jamaica Observer (here) °Metropolitan Community Churches (here) °Stabroek News - (here) Channyloulou (talk) 19:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Channyloulou (talk)

- The core issue is that because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, we are unable to guarantee that every possible "anybody" is always editing with good intentions. Our articles are quite regularly dirtwashed with poorly sourced criticisms or POV epithets or insider gossip about their personal lives, or even have outright false information added — and reliable source coverage is the only defense we have against any of those things. So as unfortunate as it is that some groups of people may not have gotten the depth of coverage they deserved, we can't waive our sourcing requirements just because an article subject happens to be part of an underrepresented group — because many of those same underrepresented groups are also the most vulnerable to attack editing (e.g. attempts to "reveal" the unpublicized former name of a transgender person, attempts by homophobes to smear notable people who are gay or lesbian, etc.) A Wikipedia article is a double-edged sword which can have negative consequences for the subject, so our includability standards have to keep an eye on protecting people from that harm — namely by not keeping an article at all if they're not the subject of enough reliable source coverage to support it.

- Delete as per Nom. I've searched, but I can't find much, pretty much just the mentions of him that already source the article. Most troubling is the lack is an obit in a major newspaper, a notable would have had one. And in the four years since the death of a truly notable activist, there would have been mentions of him if he had been notable. Moreover, while he wrote chapters in several non-notable ebooks, he wrote only a single book (2003) and I cannot find that it was reviewed. My JSTOR search on one title "Black Nationalism in the New World" + Carr came up empty. as did a gNews search. Not a single academic or popular review. This is not notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

- Note that my comment was about the sole book that he seems to have written. The review you cite is of an edited work containing chapters by many authors. Carr is the third of tree editors, not the author. The review does contain a favorable comment about the chapter in the book that he wrote. The journal in which the review is published, Social and Economic Studies published by the University of the West Indies, however, is not a leading scholarly journal, but even if it were, a single review of a collection of scholarly essays of which one is third editor adds very little to notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- The thing is, all academics publish, mostly they publish non-notable articles in non-notable journals and non-notable books. For a scholar to claim notability as a scholar, the published work has to be notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

A yet-to-launch radio station which does not even have a proposed callsign and launch date yet. Per WP:NRADIO, such stations generally are not considered notable yet. While I did find a few local hits about the proposed station, they do not appear to be enough to establish notability per WP:GNG. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:16, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Delete, but super open to reevaluating once they launch and have a chance to show notability. Knox490 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:57, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete No calls, no license, no article. Also, Newcap was told a year ago by the CRTC that the market can't support this new station and I doubt that's changed, so it's not coming in the near future anyways. Nate • (chatter) 03:01, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: The station never went to air — because, as previously noted, the CRTC rejected the application because it doesn't think the market can support a new station. (Indeed, it appears the CRTC will not seriously consider any future applications for new stations in Kentville before 2018.) There is, of course, no presumed notability for unlaunched stations (and when a station does launch, we do need sources to verify operation — but that's not happening for this station, since it wasn't even approved); it seems unlikely that this and other unlaunched stations can ever meet the general notability guideline, even with any local coverage the station managed to receive when it was applied for. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:49, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. I don't know if this was a good faith error by a user who saw the application but missed the denial or a deliberate attempt to hoaxify an application the creator already knew was failed, but the above comments are indeed correct: Newcap did submit an application to launch the station described here, but part of the CRTC's licensing process is to do an economic evaluation of whether the market can support a new station before it even gives the application a hearing — and as correctly noted above, they did reject this application on the grounds that Kentville was not able to support a new station at this time. While certainly it's possible that Newcap may try again in the future, (a) that won't be for at least another year, (b) Kentville isn't really growing fast enough that the CRTC findings in the market capacity phase of the process would be likely to be different in 2018 than then were in 2016, and (c) even if they do decide to proceed with hearings next time, a radio station doesn't get an article on here until it's actually on the air — merely having an application in the approval pipeline, or even approved but not yet launched, is not in and of itself enough. (Also, just for the record, I've listed the creator for an SPI check because this puts me just a little bit too much in mind of another editor with a problematic edit history pertaining to radio stations in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.)

Personal essay/term paper-like content/content forking from places where relevant text should go, namely indigenous land rights or aboriginal title. As one might expect from an essay, it is a synthesis of other sources to make a point (i.e., original research).
As an alternative to outright deletion, I initially suggested a redirect to another page. This has been reverted without comment or discussion by the editor, who is a student creating this as part of a very sloppily organized class project. There is nothing worthwhile to merge (the article is compromised almost entirely of unsourced statements, statements cited only to Wikipedia itself, or statements not supported by the cited source) so deletion is appropriate here.

Strong Keep Riparian rights is a well established area of law, and I have no doubt it is complicated by the complex relationships of the U.S. government to Native American tribal law (see Indian_Country_Jurisdiction). This article is typical of our legal articles, which often have NO or few sources (but may include well written portions by an expert in the field): e.g. Licensee,Condominium, Bundle of rights, Petit jury, Implied-in-fact contract, Mortgage law#Equitable_mortgage, Concurrent estate, Accord and satisfaction,consideration, Pacta sunt servanda. Unfortunately, there are not enough editors with expertise in law interested in addressing the problems of proper referencing. Deleting all of our legal articles that have this problem is probably not the best solution. --David Tornheim (talk) 02:59, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I mistakenly thought this was like the post trying to delete Enterprise law by an editor who knew nothing about that area of law and did not know about the shabby state of our legal articles--I know you do. Wrong audience. Yeah, I can go along with what you are saying, if the subject is properly handled in Winters rights. I will change my vote accordingly.

Please do not delete or redirect this page: Hello all, This project is being done for a grade in a semester course and to have all of that suddenly disappear is very disconcerting. I hope you understand we are students and if we had to redo the work we have done it would be extremely time consuming and we would suffer from that. The content of the page is a discussion of the land and water rights to set a stage to discuss our Environmental Justice case studies/subsections on Shasta, North Dakota, Colorado and the Klamath. We can link this page to the land rights page as well as the other relevant wiki pages that were already linked. Additionally, we have not finalized the project yet and will continue to edit the content for neutrality and overall cohesiveness. If it is still concerning and you think the page still needs to be redirected please let us know so that we can make sure the content is not lost.Drgood13 (talk) 00:34, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Drgood13

WP:BLP of an actress, who has a potentially valid notability claim per WP:NACTOR but lacks the reliable sourcing needed to actually carry it. Her role in Degrassi was not actually significant enough to constitute an NACTOR pass in and of itself -- she appeared as a supporting character in eight episodes of a series that produced almost 400 episodes over the course of its run. So in reality, her notability would actually have to be parked entirely on Hard Rock Medical -- but no reliable source coverage about her performance on that show is being shown. The references here are one article in a community weekly newspaper in her own hometown, a Q&A in a men's magazine, Robin Leach's entertainment gossip blog and a directory entry on tv.com -- so none of this constitutes the depth or quality of sourcing required. An actress does not get an article just because it states a significant role per NACTOR #1 -- she gets an article when it reliably sources that she's gotten significant media coverage for that role, but this doesn't show anything of the sort.

- Delete as an article that is entirely covered by existing articles that we have, many of which being significantly higher quality. I don't agree with a redirect, because I don't see the title as a plausible target. The WordsmithTalk to me 15:48, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep or at worst merge/redirect to Concentrated animal feeding operation or Environmental impact of agriculture or Environmental impact of meat production. Could certainly use a little streamlining, but the central statements are important and do not appear to be covered elsewhere. -- Kku (talk) 13:56, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. The Wordsmith summarized it well. Other articles already cover this topic to the point a merge would not provide new information, and a redirect wouldn't be useful because a redirect to a single article isn't justified over the others covering this topic, nor is it likely something that will be directly searched.

The result was keep. A WP:RM discussion may be started if anyone considers the current title inappropriate. (non-admin closure) feminist 05:32, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

The only place where this is described as a formal technique is in the source by Rude. The description of the technique is not substantively different from editing in general. I enjoy sandwiches (talk) 00:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Strong keep, but retitle article to "Substantive writing" which is the more prevalent term. Article is informative, decent length and well-written. If this article is deleted, it will only discourage editor who took the time to write a good article. Wikipedia needs more excellent articles on writing as this will attract more Wikipedia editors and could help the writing of Wikipedia editors. Knox490 (talk) 04:07, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- I appreciate that it is well written, but substantive editing, otherwise referred to as content editing, is already described at length in the copy-editing article, and I do not see how that description differs from this term -- the article is predominantly redundant in that context. More importantly, the notation 'comprehensive editing' is not widely accepted, and essentially a tautology. I am also concerned it is an oblique attempt at self promotion. Perhaps if more sources were found to show it as a distinct and more generally used terminology, but tough to accept the article as it stands. Could merge portions into copy-editing so the novice editor does not feel their efforts went to waste and to lessen the perception of biting, as they certainly know how to express themselves clearly and would be a welcome addition to the site.

- Keep Having had some time to consider it, there is probably enough novel content to keep this as a separate article with a retitle/maintenance tag as content editing (rather than substantive editing), to allow it to be retrolinked more clearly to copyediting. I have made some additional revisions as well. I enjoy sandwiches (talk) 00:45, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Contested proposed deletion without reason for contestation given. Reason given in proposed deletion was: "Article has no serious claims of significance or notability in our standards, notability cannot be inherited and especially not when it's an apparently new software."

- Delete - the author clearly has a COI, and this is clearly WP:TOOSOON for an unknown 2017 film to be notable. We really need a WP:CSD criterion for blatantly non-notable films. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:27, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete for all of the aforementioned reasons. I also second Anachronist's idea of a speedy category for non-notable films - maybe even a more generalized non-notable "creative works" (e.g. films, books, etc.). These types of junk articles are way too common. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:48, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
