you haven't explained how it meets WP:NALBUMS. The sources merely verify its existence. LibStar (talk) 20:33, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - WP:NALBUMS states 'generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label' and all of that information has been provided and sourced. I also agree with Hybrid196 that if this article is deleted it would only need to be recreated again closer to the release. Oh, and there are now 2 results for the Google News search.

Family tree of the Egyptian gods

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

There are major inaccuracies in this genealogy, but they are only symptoms of a greater problem: that the relationships between Egyptian deities were too numerous and too changeable to attempt to represent in a single chart. Just to name a few examples: at least four gods are called the father of Anubis, and four goddesses called his mother;^[1] in different sources Horus' mother may be Hathor, Nut, or Isis, and his father may be Geb or Osiris—not to mention that the child form of Horus may be the son of many more deities, including the adult form of Horus;^[2] the creation of the world was variously credited to Nun, Neith, Khnum, Atum, Ptah, Amun, Thoth, or Horus;^[3] and Thoth might be the son of Ra or the product of Set's impregnation with Horus' semen.^[4] The Egyptologist Erik Hornung put it this way: "It is evidently unnatural for Egyptian gods to be strictly defined. Their being remains a fluid state to which we are not accustomed… The combinations gods form with other gods are in many respects transitory and may be dissolved at any time."^[5]

My point is not merely that the Egyptian gods' relationships are absurdly complicated, but that the relationships between gods have symbolic significance.^[6] The gods represent forces of nature,^[7] whose interactions are complicated and shifting. Describing those interactions is not impossible, but it needs to be done in the text of the gods' individual articles and accompanied by explanation of what each relationship means. I know that Wikipedia likes to lay everything out in a neat list or table or template, but in this case that's not only infeasible, but risks misleading the reader about the very nature of the Egyptian pantheon.

A. Parrot (talk) 02:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I say delete here, right? A. Parrot (talk) 02:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are quite a few problems with the page. For instance, Atum and Toth are often thought of as self-created, so that this family tree does not make sense. In some stories Atum actually created Shu and Tefnut, while here Ra is just given as a "father". And then there are the combinations: Amun-Ra, Re-Harakhty, etc which is ignored. This page gives the impression there is a real family tree, while the real development of AE religion is much more complicated and the roles that the deities had and relations with respect to one another varied over time and geographical location. None of these issues can really be solved by careful editing, so I think not having the page is better than having one that is incomplete/misleading. --AnnekeBart (talk) 03:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is also in violation of several guidelines? WP:RS - no (reliable) sources are given as a basis of the family tree; WP:VERIFY - related to the WP:RS we cannot verify what the tree is based on.; WP:OR or WP:SYNTH - It looks a bit like original research/synthesis, as I have never seen any family tree like this in the literature.; WP:NPOV and/or WP:UNDUE - given the different myths out there, someone seems to have picked their favorite one and presented that one without offering any explanation of the alternative versions. --AnnekeBart (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I didn't create this family tree, but merely turned it from a template into an article. The reasons given above in support of its deletion are perfectly valid. --BomBom (talk) 10:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm sure the original creator meant well, and the illustrations are lovely, but this is pure WP:SYNTHESIS. Egypt did not have one monolithic religion (with the possible exception of the Aten in the Armana period), it was a composite of beliefs that varied by Nome (spatial area) and through time. So the 'family tree' Re->Shu+Tefnut->Geb+Nut->Isis+Osiris+Nephthys+Set is fixed apparently from the earliest. But from equally ancient times we have Re-Herakhte (Horus of the Two Horizons)->Hathor+Sekhmet (the two Eyes of Ra). Then you add in a host of other deities who are not part of this familial structure but originated in separate locations, which were either conflated (eg the conflation of Amun and Re into Amun-Ra), or were described as the spouse or offspring of another deity, whether as an honorary title or to denote some kind of adoption. The only way this tree can be constructed is by adding in all of these local myths separately - the whole construction is not supported by any reliable source that I know of.Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:36, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the nominator points out, this just isn't a good way to present this information by nature. At best it adds little to our coverage of Egyptian mythology, and at worst it's downright misleading. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:50, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Respect to the person that tried to do this. I'm abstaining. Even with fluid relationships it should be possible to create some kind of genealogical tree (or multiple trees). Although it looks like it will involve a hundred times more effort than has been put in thus far. Maybe the article should have an introduction about how difficult it is to draw up a single family tree of the Egyptian gods and include the nominator's summary in that rationale. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 21:30, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CommentRespect to everyone but with regard to previous comment - it is not just a complex task it is impossible in this form. Any tree would have to take into account changes in the way the gods were perceived according to time (i.e. which period of history they relate to) and location (i.e. which cult centre is meant). There also has to be an understanding of what the Egyptians actually meant by saying one god was father of another, for instance, especially as any number of gods are called 'father of the gods' e.g. Atum, Ra, Nun, Amen and so on. For this reason I support Delete.Apepch7 (talk) 16:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Concur with Nipsonanomhmata; nice try. However, the complexity of the gods' relations and tales told different ways to serve a political purpose in the religious hierarchy of Egypt are as much a part of the history Egyptian mythology as the images themselves. It is ultimately a disservice to leave them out. Anarchangel (talk) 15:46, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would be a disservice, but the relationships don't have to be left out of Wikipedia; they can and should be covered in the articles on individual gods, in writing. I don't believe that they are too complicated to convey but that they are too complicated to convey graphically. A. Parrot (talk) 17:51, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local musician; article makes no assertion of notable or recognizable claim of significance beyond the subject's being "one of the fastest rising queens in the city [Perth]". Local musician, performs only in two local venues, appeared a handful of times on a local radio show -- there's just no notability to be found. No reliable sources; the article "references" are two photos (one from the subject's own facebook page) and an audio recording. The truly masochistic might enjoy the subject's cover of Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer"[2], which is only slightly less terrifying than the thought of Celine Dion attempting to cover the same song.

University of East London School of Law

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

Not sufficiently notable per WP:UNIGUIDE. Has been PROD'ed and then discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Universities#Subarticle_for_faculty.2Fdepartments Sitush (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A large law school (by UK standards anyhow) which is active in research. Numerous references can be found in books: [5] and the school is active in research. The article is low quality however and needs work. I should add that the quoted uniguide is not Wikipedia policy but merely a guide. This is a natural break-out article from University of East London. Rangoon11 (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - about the books, since this was not raised in the discussion linked to in the nomination. 500-odd hits for UEL per the link, 1700-odd for Cardiff Law School (picked at random, my nephew is studying chem. there), 3900-odd for Cambridge law school (my alma mater, and highly misleading because most authors will use their college name or "faculty" instead of "school"). It is the job of UK university academics to write articles and books. If they do not then the funding is cut. So, I'm not sure of the relevance of this to the debate. Is productivity the same as notability? - Sitush (talk) 02:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that even the faculty of the UEL School of Law would claim that their school is in the same league as Cambridge law school. Notability is not a relative concept however. What the books result does show is coverage, and that this school is highly active in research. The motivations for that activity and its relative quality compared to Cambridge are of no relevance in my view.Rangoon11 (talk) 15:46, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A small law school by international standards and can be covered in the University of East London article. Mtking (talk) 01:55, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - UNIGUIDE, cited in the nomination, is a style guide for how to write articles on universities. The rationale that I would make is this: law schools, unlike the departments of a university related to fields of academic study, maintain their own admissions offices. Harvard University and the Harvard School of Law should and do have separate pages; ergo the University of East London and the University of East London School of Law should have their own pages. The size of the school is largely irrelevant, to my mind, just as the size of a high school is irrelevant to the question of whether it is regarded as a valid subject for encyclopedic coverage. Carrite (talk) 06:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - to Carrite. Firstly, other stuff exists. Secondly, are you sure of your facts regarding admissions offices? The UK system is not necessarily the same as in the USA etc. There is little difference between a School and a department/faculty in most cases in the UK - it's just semantics. All UK university departments have some control over their admissions & often have endowments for the making of scholarship awards etc; equally all of them use the UCAS clearing system & all the universities (that I am aware of) have a central admissions office which is the top tier in a hierarchy of decision-making. There are exceptions, eg: London School of Economics (LSE) is a genuinely separate university institution; UEL Law is not. - Sitush (talk) 13:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a misuse of the Gotcha Phrase™ "Other Stuff Exists." I am not arguing that this article should stay because the University of East London Law School is more important than Eureka HIgh School, I am making an argument based upon established precedent, which allows Wikipedia to be developed consistently. Carrite (talk) 16:01, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not a misuse at all, as far as I can see. You were saying that Harvard School of Law has its own article, therefore UEL should. How is that not "other stuff exists? - Sitush (talk) 22:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "The Times Higher Education survey ranked the school as 38th in the UK" - it is hardly Harvard. I see no evidence that this needs an article any more than the other Faculties/Schools of this university or most universities need one. --Bduke (Discussion) 11:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, an institution's ranking does not decide its notability. I'm not saying your argument is necessarily wrong, but the way you've said it is not a valid argument for deletion.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say that the ranking decides its notability. I was just throwing cold water over the idea that because Harvard Law School has an article, then this one should have an article. To expand on my second sentence, the references seems to be all from the university itself or about individuals. I see no sources that are independent reliable sources attesting to the notability of the school. Much of the article is not encyclopedic and it can easily be merged into the university article. This school is just a university department or faculty. It does not stand out from the others and I would be suprised indeed if it handled its own admissions separately from the university itself. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems to have enough info and independence from the greater university to warrant its own article. That being said, if I'm missing something please correct me. A merge isn't totally out of the question, however. Yaksar (let's chat) 16:29, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is no claim the subject fails the GNG, and no policy- or guideline-based argument for deletion. In particular, our inclusion criteria for academic institutions have no "Top 40" type criteria. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:35, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is the UNIGUIDE referred to not a guideline? I'm confused! - Sitush (talk) 19:22, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a "style guideline," and the section on notability is characterized as only "an essay." Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Carrite. Mandsford 18:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This Law School, like many UK Law Schools and Business Schools, seems to be simply a department or subsection of a UK University, and as such can be covered within the main university article. Should we have separate articles for every school or department in every university? If not, then delete. At the moment, the article contains a list of courses (and why even have these? Wikipedia isn't a prospectus), a small section on research which also belongs in the prospectus, and a list of 3 people only one of whom is notable enough to have their own wiki article. Reg porter (talk) 20:54, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, this isn't a discussion about the quality of the article, but the notability of the subject. Secondly, this isn't a discussion about other schools/departments of UEL or any other UK universities. If other law schools or university departments can demonstrate notability in accordance with policy then there is no reason why they should not have articles, but that is irrelevant to this discussion. And even if notability could be established for every single department/school of every single university in the UK, and someone wanted to write the articles - clearly hugely unlikely - the number of additional Wikipedia articles would, in the context of Wikipedia as a whole, be miniscule, certainly well below 0.002% of all articles.Rangoon11 (talk) 21:05, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - can we just nail this "large" thing? I do not think that it is particularly large & have given some examples somewhere (Bristol Law School is twice the size, for example). Someone else has pointed out that in international terms it is apparently small (but I've no idea where xe got that from either). The notability derives mostly from the research institute which it houses but is a separate body. - Sitush (talk) 14:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - our practice has been to have separate articles for law and medical schools and that's fine. In any case this page meets WP:GNG. If some consolidation is sought I suggest merging Centre on Human Rights in Conflict into this page. TerriersFan (talk) 14:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This seems to be a significant law school. Dream Focus 21:11, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, there seems to be plenty of significant and sourced material that can be written about this which would be too great a detail for the general UEL article. If we did sub-article naming then it would be clear that this isn't pretending to be a separate institution but just a section of a more general article that is too large for the general page. Full disclosure: I'm currently a student of a different school at UEL and have no connection with the law school. Thryduulf (talk) 18:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gary Maloney

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

Mr. Maloney has done a lot to make other people notable, but I am not sure he meets the criteria for his own article. There are definitely "a lot" of sources in the article, but if you would please direct your attention to the content of those sources. Of the ones that are secondary, most are not about him, but about the people he represented 1 2 3. The New York Observer article 4 does focus largely on Maloney. He seems to be notable in NYC political circles, so I am not sure how much credibility to attribute to the source, because the context seems to be localized. ~~Also, I couldn't get the Jewish Observer source to load, so admittedly, that may go toward notability.~~ (I did and it doesn't. 5) A close call perhaps, but I think a discussion needs to be had. --Quinn ^➳WINDY 04:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added more references to the article, some of which mention Maloney more directly. Furthermore, the general picture that I got while searching for references was that he was a significant political player. I would also argue that "doing a lot to make other people notable" is exactly what a notable political consultant should be doing. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 08:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment notability is not inherited but I support the addition of more articles that talk about Maloney directly. --Quinn ^➳WINDY 17:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This added reference is about political tactics in a GOP gubernatorial race, and ~~focused on~~ talks about criticisms of Maloney's tactics on behalf on Kent Hance's campaign. It may or may not further establish notability, but, if so, the criticisms expressed in the Victoria Advocate article are not likewise expressed in the Wikipedia article. This new reference is pretty much a rehash of exactly the same info. And here again is a mention of preceived controversial tactics employed by Maloney in the same case, and is used largely as context in an article about so called "dirty tactics" by political compaigns. So, like I said before, if these new references do establish notability (and I don't think they do) then the article is lacking a "Controversies" section, because, if he is notable, it seems to be, to some extent, for criticisms of his tactics. --Quinn ^➳WINDY 17:49, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I wasn't going to add anything more here but CTJF83 persuaded me otherwise. Hence, I've changed my delete to a strong delete. Basically, I believe that even with the additional refs, this subject still fails WP:PORNBIO. Reasons follow:

Criterion 1 - The subject has not won a well-known award.

Criterion 2 - The subject has not received nominations for well-known awards in multiple years.

Criterion 3a - As conceded here, the subject has not begun a trend in pornography.

Criterion 3b - The subject has not starred in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature.

Criterion 3c - The subject is not a member of an industry Hall of Fame.

Criterion 4 - Has the subject been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media? Let's see:

Here, the subject is featured in a notable source which may or may not be counted as mainstream.
Here, the subject is interviewed on a notable podcast. Interestingly, there were two interviewees on that particular podcast. I think it is telling, then, that one of the interviewees was listed here almost immediately. Our subject, though, wasn't listed until a month and a half later, despite being interviewed on the same podcast.
I can't access the Swish Edition interview so cannot comment.
Here, the subject merely (possibly) confirms his identity. This source is revealing, though, for the facebook comment made by one Matt Hydeman, "had it not been for the bloggers on the gay side of Fleshbot, I'd have never known about you, Spark". Interestingly, some of the posts on that page seem to mirror this AfD discussion by questioning the subject's significance.
This source copies the six pack interview already discussed.
This source says very little of substance about the subject. It confirms his existence, his age, and where he's based. Other than repeating a few quotes, the source provides a ot of words but very little content. I do find it interesting, though, that this notable source refers to the subject's videos as a "minor viral sensation" (my emphasis). As well, it also suggests that the subject, although planning to make more videos and possibly make a feature film, has done very little other than post videos to Xtube.

Overall, I think a filmmaker (or porn actor or whatever he is) who has had only two feature articles (at least one of which was submitted under a semi-anonymous byline), who has had only one or two interviews, who does not appear to have his own website or to be promoted on an existing notable industry website, and who's web presence doesn't appear to extend further than Xtube and facebook is not a subject of such notability that he should be in an ancyclopedia.

Comment OUT maybe counted as mainstream or not mainstream? What sheltered, super conservative world does one have to live in to say such a thing I wonder.

1. I just did another Google search and he certainly seems to have found notability in my estimation. I counted 7 independent media interviews and feature articles. LV pointed to 3+ sources in this "strong delete".

2. It seems he does have a website that redirects to his facebook page. www.blacksparkandtheclouds.com I don't know much about that but it seems lots of notable people are opting to use their social network sites as opposed to something more traditional.

I'm entirely missing the point about the time frame in which the subject was listed as a part of the podcast. The "minor viral" comment seems to have been made to contrast the difference between being notable for this type of work as opposed to what happens when one uploads videos to YouTube. Apples and oranges in my opinion but one tends to read what one wants to see. If a person decides to not sign with a "porn" company then I can't imagine he would be promoted on their sites.

It looks like he took a Facebook page and some films posted to Xtube and made a serious impression on the industry so far. Anyone new have thoughts or can provide more sources? Gfilmonline (talk) 10:54, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make comments like "What sheltered, super conservative world does one have to live in to say such a thing I wonder" without doing minimal "research" Had you taken the time to visit user:LordVetinari, you would see he is in a "same-sex marriage, domestic partnership or civil union", so clearly your allegation couldn't be more wrong. CTJF83 11:39, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm bemused. I simply said the source may or may not be mainstream; in simple terms, I don't know whether it is or not and am leaving it up to others to decide. I'm puzzled, therefore, how a statement which is about as inoffensive as it is possible to be can translate into the views of those living in a "sheltered, super-conservative world". Like I said, I'm bemused. As for whether this subject is notable, I've stated my case and will now leave the decision up to experienced editors, whose views, I believe, hold more weight than the "estimations" of a single purpose account.

Golden Angels and their albums do not appear to be notable for a Wikipedia article. The article consists of miscellaneous details, which seem to be overly written and full of irrelevant detail that only a devoted fan would find worthwhile, i.e. it mentions other bands such as Angelman and Earthsaver, who are also of no importance. The article has a history section with links to album articles, which have zero notability and a full essay on their music videos, which would only interest a devotee. There are no citations for reliable sources, just a fan site and three Youtube videos. I've searched Google and cannot find anything which supports this articles existence. I suggest that this article be deleted asap.Wayne Paine (talk) 14:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only links given are to the band's own site and a couple of YouTubes, and I can't find any proper independent coverage. I can find no source for the "Golden Guitar" they were supposedly awarded - the only other mention I can find is a Wikipedia mirror. Regarding their albums, I can't find any sign of the label LMNtal records other than Wikipedia mirrors and only in the context of Golden Angels - and that doesn't sound like the "two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels" that would satisfy WP:NM. No sign that any of their singles charted anywhere.

Keep. I have added a third independent citation. Again, this is just an independent review. I had never heard of the product, and am not sure whether reviews are sufficient to confer notability, but that is the only sort of material likely to be published about such a product. Being included in a roundup such as the MacWorld listing may confer notability more than the single product reviews. At any rate, the original reasons for nomination have been addressed. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:53, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing here indicates that this personal finance software broke the kind of new ground that would give it significant effects on history, culture, or technology. It's listed on a list of similar software at Macworld; other reviews are at "ITreviews" ("owned and operated by net communities") and a review at about.com. I don't believe these things establish lasting encyclopedic significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:09, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The software is significant in that its data can be used interchangeably between Mac and Windows (Note: it is a native application on both platforms, not Java). The software was designed to be an alternative to complicated accounting software, allowing users to still manage their finances if they are computer novices, or cannot understand how to use other accounting software. This product is indeed just as notable as the many other software products listed on Wikipedia. It should not be penalized because it lacks the publicity or history of some other more well-known products. 17:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.112.240 (talk)

Delete games made with RPG Maker or similar tend not to be notable, and nothing in the article suggests this is any exception. The above claim relating to Google hits does not appear accurate, as if one examines the result there are only 500 or so unique hits, and many of those are unrelated, like an Amazon listing for some romance book called "Vampire Dawn".

Metallica 2011 tour

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

Previously deleted as a prod at Metallica 2011 Tour. The concept of a 2011 tour by Metallica is a seemingly made-up concept. It is not a tour, it is several festival dates over the course of many months, it is totally misleading to even refer to it as a tour. One concert in April, five in July, one in September, that is not a tour. O Fenian (talk) 17:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While the article doesn't make this clear, the important feature of this "tour" is that it features the "big 4" bands (ie, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax) and in that capacity it's quite notable. [9] [10] [11] [12] lots more here Robman94 (talk) 15:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At least two of those actually appear to be about the 2010 dates, see Thrash metal#"Big Four" Tour. I am certainly convinced by that the information should not really exist at this particular title since we could have four virtually identical articles with only the band names differing, and that if deletion cannot be agreed on it should be moved to a non-band specific article about the "tour". O Fenian (talk) 18:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That solution would certainly work for me. Then the new article would be about the "Big Four Tour" and could contain info about both the 2010 and 2011 dates. Such an article would also stand the test of time because, rather than publicizing an upcoming tour, it would be documenting the rare coming together of 4 big bands.

Akrom Yo‘ldoshev

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

According to the ~~one~~ source provided, this individual wrote a political/religious pamphlet, and was later jailed for alleged involvement in some terrorist attacks. This is very dubious as far as notability is concerned. A person identifying themself as the son of the subject of the article has posted at WP:BLPN stating that the article lacks sufficient detail to give a reasonable account of this living person's life and actions. ~~In addition, the article has remained in this stub state for several years now, without significant improvement.~~ --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment - I was just going to boldly redirect it the group associated to him Akromiya and close this but then I read that his wife denies he has anything to do with this group but he is cited as founder in another cite he is cited as leader, what about speedily redirecting it? Off2riorob (talk) 23:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ANYBIO. A brief search with Google and Google Books shows multiple reliable sources that name Yo‘ldoshev as the creator of Akromiya, including scholarly research published in an established journal. Being the eponymous founder of a notable religious organization would seem to me to meet the criterion of "has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". The article doesn't make any contentious statements that aren't attributed, and appears to be NPOV. (However, the paragraph referring to his wife should probably be removed.) Per WP:BLPDEL, "Page deletion is normally a last resort" and it's not called for in this case. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see any degree on independent note worthy of a BLP, can some of these reliable citations be presented here? or even better added to the article? I also don't see that wp:anybio applies either, and comments such as there are millions of google reports are valueless without article improvement or actual presentation in the AFD of some of them that meet our WP:RS and specifically address and discuss the subject in detail. He appears a very minor figure it the truth of things, even the group appears of little true independent notability. Off2riorob (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are The Washington Post, The New York Times and the New Statesman (all in the first ten news results that I linked) not independent and reliable? Or books published by M. E. Sharpe, Taylor & Francis and Columbia University Press (also in the top ten results)? Why should I have to list here what you can easily see for yourself by simply clicking on the Google News, Books and Scholar links that I have provided? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me Phil, your post wasn't there when I began posting so I missed that, my reply was actually in response to Macwhiz's comment. I will have a little look at that, I appreciate you linking internally to our articles but that is valueless in assessing this issue, we have lots of articles but this is a deletion discussion about this article. If you assert you have found something WP:RS would you either add it to the BLP or actually present the actual source here for evaluation and consideration. Do you intend to add any citation or content to the article? Off2riorob (talk) 19:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You still don't seem to be getting the point. My first post links to several searches. The ones that you can get to by clicking on the words "news, "books" and "scholar" find many reliable sources in the first few entries found. You can read those sources just as easily by following the links that I have already provided as you could if I copied them here, but as you seem unwilling to spend the extra second or two to do that then these are the specific sources that I referred to [14][15][16][17][18][19]. They are only a small selection of the reliable sources that you can see by looking further down those search results. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not here to search your point Phil, add it to the article, that will impress me. I am not easily impressed by such things as google search results, show me a WP:RS that focuses on discussing the life story of this living person or two or three of them, even better add them to the article Off2riorob (talk) 19:41, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've shown you six sources, and linked to searches that find many more. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:08, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting WP:BLPDEL, "Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed." Since it is clearly possible to improve this article, there is no BLP justification for deleting the article. There's a BLP report purportedly from a relative of the subject, but not from the subject themselves, essentially claiming that the sources Phil linked to above have all incorrectly linked the subject with the group named after him because he founded it and then published a book describing the group's manifesto. That's not exactly persuasive grounds for a BLP deletion. The article is otherwise neutral and factual, if in need of some rescue. Deleting it would serve no purpose; improving it is the way to go here. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 21:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

note - here is a link to the BLPN report, I also note that from what I read, the subject of the article is apparently currently imprisoned and attempting to get himself released and denying all involvement with founding this group. Off2riorob (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that WP:BEFORE is an obligation on the nominator, Off2riorob, not those who recommend keeping an article. I expand many articles I discover at AfD, but am not obligated to do so. Take a look at this book, Islam after communism:religion and politics in Central Asia which discusses this person in depth. Cullen328 (talk) 00:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just think anyone supporting to keep an article also has a duty of care to bring that article up to scratch, I have seen articles kept and citations posted on the talkpage by someone and others support and yet the article remains the same, personally I would never vote keep to a sub standard article. Off2riorob (talk) 00:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although I disagree with you, Off2riorob, about that "duty" which appears nowhere in Wikipedia policy or guidelines, I have expanded the article, and added three sources.

Cullen328 (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've also added an external link to a website with lots of objective information about this person. THe comment on the BLP noticeboard said, "I am the son of the person who is being regarded in this article. I found the article too brief to give the right idea about my dad.

I want you to take this article off of the wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.184.87.216 (talk) 21:46, 14 March 2011 (UTC)" I believe that the article now addresses those concerns and also shows his notability.Cullen328 (talk) 15:11, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as nominator (slightly contradictory I know). Cullen328's edits address the reasons for my nomination adequately. The son of the individual (or anyone else) may still wish to raise BLP concerns with the article in its revised condition, but that can be resolved through ordinary editing. It's also difficult to question the subject's notability in the light of the links provided above.
