Archdiocese of the Goths

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

At a first glance this is an article about an Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Church but it actually seems to be a non-notable offshoot of the Russian True Orthodox Church, which is itself a smallish schismatic offshoot group. The organisation was apparently established (allegedly re-established) in 1994. There is no evidence of organisational continuity with, or affiliation to, the Russian Orthodox Church, which would confer notability. In fact, I see no evidence for the claimed historic Archdiocese going back to 1283 under this name. Notability can not be established by Googling the name in either English, Swedish or Russian (See links above). I would expect to see it in both Books and Scholar if it was notable. If the historic organisation claimed did exist, possibly under a different name, then it would seem to belong in Gothic Christianity. DanielRigal (talk) 11:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletion discussions. DanielRigal (talk) 11:22, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Please see the article's talk page where the author has given his comments on my concerns. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:57, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Question to nominator: how do you explain the 42 references in the article? Do these 42 sources satisfy our notability guidelines? Why, given our WP:ATD policy on alternatives to deletion, should all of this material, and the topic itself, be hidden from public view? Unscintillating (talk) 03:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly, I do not have access to all the books but in so far as I could access the references I did not see them has having any bearing on the notability of the current organisation, which seemed to me to be the primary subject of the article at the time of nomination. You will notice that a Google Books search on the subject of the article (in all three languages) comes up blank. Possibly the article is misnamed and I am failing to grasp what the subject really is but I have done my best not to fall into that trap. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Here is an English translation of www.gotark.org. Unscintillating (talk) 03:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the article seems to mix up the historic entity (which is no doubt notable, although some very dubious statements are being backed up by poor references, but which may belong in Gothic Christianity) and the modern entity (which may or may not be notable, depending on whether reliable references can be found for it). The relationship between the two entities is presumably controversial, as the nom notes. -- 202.124.72.140 (talk) 09:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Potential keep or merge with Gothic Christianity-- The article seems to have been purged of the 1994 reincarnation. I am not qualified to speak to the accuracy of the material, but I cannot see much that is obviously wrong. Language might be calmed down, for example by changing a reference to "Muslim barbarians" to something else. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Potential keep or merge with Gothic Christianity-- I agree--C. Nüssli (talk) 10:20, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the article has quite a few sources, but some seem a little dubious. There is a great deal of WP:SYNTH from primary sources, and a rather unencyclopedic tone. Any merge should be done with caution, and it might be better just to delete. -- 202.124.75.50 (talk) 08:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The real Orthodox church in Sweden should be mentioned: http://sweden.orthodoxy.ru/old/ --C. Nüssli (talk) 11:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--ThomasSutter (talk) 07:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)The Archdiocese of Goths is also known as the Metropolitanate of Gothia and Kaphas, and Kaphas have different spelling in all western languages (Kafa/Kafe/Kaphas a.s.o), with late medieval jurisdiction in the Principate of Theodoro - also known as Gothia. That this parish existed in the late 18th century is supported by the Ukaz of Catherine the Great, incorporating the diocese into the historical Russian Orthodox Church. Soon after the remaining Goths vanished. The 1994 organisation is not a continual entity from the 1779 Archdiocese and hasn't been claimed by me nor the 1994 organization. Ecclesiastical jurisdiction is something entirely different though, and the canonical church with apostolic succession and continual traditional existence can appoint bishops to vacant seats, that is dioceses which aren't abolished, whenever they want. In no Ecclesiastical verdict of the Russian Orthodox Church have the Archdiocese / Metropolitanate been abolished, only vacant and de facto evaporated. Regarding canonicity I cannot see why a reference to the 'official' Russian Orthodox Church (established by the Soviets in 1946) would matter, when the True Orthodox have apostolic succession unbroken to the pre-revolutionary Russian Orthodox Church, just as the now defunct Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. The subject of the Archdiocese is mostly unnoticed historically, which is not the same as non-existing, and because of the Soviet period it has been locked in the peculiar history of Eastern Europe. There's much research to be made, and new primary sources to be published. The Ukaz of Catherine the Great on gotark.org is actual proof of the existence of the Church of the Goths in post-Tatar Russian Crimea, for instance. If the issue is too vague for the English-speaking world, I suggest it should be merged with Gothic Christianity to counter-balance the historically vague and generally unsubstantiated Arianism of the historical Gothic peoples. The source links can also be deleted or edited for better perception. An almost identical article exist on Swedish Wikipedia.[reply]

Delete Fails notability for GNG. --Cox wasan (talk) 21:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A deletion analysis with only the four words "fails notability for GNG" doesn't make sense, at least to me, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the essay, Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. For example, what evidence is provided that would separate this !vote from a WP:IDONTLIKEIT opinion? WP:N notability only has one requirement, that the topic be "worthy of notice". For this topic we'd want to see either WP:GNG or WP:ORG satisfied, or the failure of both. Even given a viewpoint that a topic is non-notable, such does not equate to a delete conclusion; which would also require an argument that all of the reliable material in the article, if any, is objectionable; and that using the title of the article as a redirect is objectionable. Regarding the WP:ATD-policy alternatives to deletion, in this case there have been several editors weighing in regarding the possibility of merging some or all of the material, and these arguments have not been weighed. Then, this is a particularly difficult article to digest, and given the extensive number of references, I'd expect a delete !vote that has worked through and rejected all of those references has done a fair amount of work, work that should be mentioned in the analysis. Unscintillating (talk) 22:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I checked your contribution history, Cox wasan, and then your AfD history. Using User:Snottywong's tool, you have !voted delete in 97 out of 100 AfD discussions. I also spot checked some of your AfD contributions, and found multiple cases like the current one that provide no supporting evidence. Do you have any explanation? `Unscintillating (talk) 04:05, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the objection seems to be that it's a splinter church, but I don't see how that matters.Some of the long comments here about details should be incorporated into the appropriate articles. There are clearly enough references to support the content DGG ( talk ) 20:04, 28 November 2011 (UTC) .[reply]

I don't think that is the real substance of the objection to the modern "splinter church". The objection is that the current organisation is not notable and seems not to be directly connected (even by splintering) with the older organisation, which also may also not be notable, at least not under this name. Splinter groups certainly can be notable in their own right but they can't inherit notability from something else, even less so when it is not clear if they have any real connection to it beyond adopting a defunct name. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:57, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy I'm confused and I think the author is considerate of the problems and is willing to improve the encyclopedia. The discussion on the talk page has several useful points, including the connection to (http://www.katakomb.ru/), and "There's a Diocese of Goths within official Orthodoxy of Ukraine, with a Metropolit Damian II. Maybe the article should only reflect the historical Archdiocese, not the different organisations claiming to represent it today." The material has multiple possible merge targets, renaming, and reorganization to consider. My main reason for Userfy rather than keep is that I'm not convinced, as per the objection on the Talk page, that there is any such thing in the English language as the title of the article, about which I could easily be wrong. So I think the redirect should be deleted after preserving the article somewhere. Unscintillating (talk) 02:30, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge It should be kept because it's about the historical Gothic people which there is alot of mystery shrouding about. Some information should be weeded out because it's not notable, but it's important because it has links to Arianism, maybe not notable at the present time, just a brief mention about Gothic people, possibly merge with Gothic Christianity or Goths in general. Apparently at the start we are seeing two different views among post-polytheist goths , saying Goths were Arianists or Trinitarian Orthodox Christians. The article sais Trinitarian Orthodoxy overruled Arianism and became the official faith (yet we can see Visigoths were Arians), but the author tends to be biased and support Orthodoxy creating a non-neutral point of view and ridicules Islam in the latter part of the Article saying Crimean Tatars enslaved Crimean Goths. In can be clear that in the latter, this article could mainly deal with Crimean goths. The references i found from Gotark.org out are written Swedish, dont know any significant minority of Swedish Orthodox people except Serbs who migrated to Sweden, and possibly East Slavic people, (remember when Russia had Finland). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.159.2.59 (talk) 00:45, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This has been worrying me through most of the AfD period. While the quality of information in the article is widely variable, some of it does seem to be well-sourced and not otherwise covered on Wikipedia. However, I am not convinced that the article avoids synthesis - it reads too much to me like an article on Burgundy where the article creator has assumed that all the historic states of that name are the same. Which leaves me feeling that none of the possible conclusions to this AfD are going to be really satisfactory. PWilkinson (talk) 22:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Userify It seems to me that there are sources and there are editors willing to work on the topic. The current article, however, is worrying because it's unclear that all the institutions are what they appear. The article as it stands may be actively misleading.

Delete no evidence at all presented for notability of this quite small food-oriented shopping mall. The only notable parts of it already have articles, Clementi Bus Interchange and Clementi MRT Station. It's just a small mall at a transportation center. I think the original nom didn't specify further because he thought it obvious. I consider both references to be essentially press releases. DGG ( talk ) 02:25, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is not a "quite small food-oriented shopping mall." It houses 135 retail outlets, only 16 of which are restaurants and cafes. See the new info I have added to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There seems to be plenty of coverage about this relatively new shopping mall. Despite the nominator's not knowing them, I HAVE seen criteria cited here at AfD for shopping malls, which include square footage as well as news coverage; this is a five-story mall with almost 300,000 square feet of retail space. The article as written did not include any of this information; I have added it. I also think we should delete all the detailed charts about how to get there, so that the article can focus on the mall itself. --MelanieN (talk) 15:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Counterfeit Holiday

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

This article is about a defunct group which only ever recorded one EP (which I am also nominating for deletion if this article goes). There is no evidence from the article that the band has any notability and my reading of WP:BAND does not suggest that it meets any of the criteria listed there. The closest is the unreferenced statement that its EP was issued "to much critical acclaim" (From who? Where? Why?) It should be noted that the article was created, and most of it written by an editor called Counterfeitholiday, whose sole contributions to Wikipedia, made over two days in September 2006 are to this article and to the band's EP Take Two and Call Us in the Morning . However, this is not within my area of expertise or knowledge - and I would not be confident of finding reliable sources - so I invite others to either attest to notability and oppose deletion or to find a lack of notability and delete.

Delete. I can't find any references to the band or the album anywhere except on the band's self-created web pages. All of the news refs that I'm finding have to do with counterfeit Christmas lights. The only source of notability seems to be the Emergenza Festival performance in 2007, which by itself doesn't seem like enough to convey notability. Graymornings_(talk) 22:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- - Even the status of the Emergenza link is dubious - the webpage invites you to "INSERT YOUR BAND INFO"!! E;sewhere, it says that "All groups, of any kind or origin, can participate", which hardly, to me, constitutes being "asked" to perform. Emeraude (talk) 11:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Politic Pop

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

Social Networking site that has yet to be released. Current references include exactly one reliable source, which to the editor's credit, does provide in-depth coverage of the plan behind the website. However, the source is a local newspaper covering the Saratoga Springs region of New York. Other sources do not speak to the notability of the website, which include a Facebook page, a domain registration website, and the primary website itself. The creator of the page has repeatedly taken down tags about issues of heavy reliance on primary sources and not meeting the notability for web content without actually addressing these issues. The editor's edit summary during a removal was the following:

The refrences to the news is a perfect 3rd party reference by another author, and there [are] many references given for the minimal amount of information on this page.

Finally, the page assumes notability of the website before it has actually launched, which in the lack of reliable third-party coverage, I'd argue is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 17:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hazrat Ali

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

No real claim to fame. Just another Afghani "warlord". Most of the references are completely irrelevant and don't even mention him. Wasell^(T) 17:15, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- He is not "just another Afghani "warlord"' He is one of the most important militia leaders. He is the militia leader routinely blamed for allowing, or being bribed, to let Osama bin Laden sneak out of Tora Bora. He is featured in the 60 minutes segment on Dalton Fury's book. FWIW I think any Afghan militia leader with significant press coverage establishing their notability merits their own article. But Ali, as one of the leaders of the short-term breakaway Eastern Shura would also merit an article under WP:POLITICIAN, as, prior to agreeing to be part of the Afghan Transitional Authority the Eastern Shura was nominally independent.

I'd be happiest with an in-between solution where the merged article is a grouping of short entries like this article is currently. I see where some detail is lost with short entries on List of earthquakes in Canada. On the other hand Mikenorton has done enough work for free so I'm not asking him or anyone else to do it.

Redirect to Earthquakes in 2011#September. Although this is geologically unusual for an earthquake of this size to have occurred in this region, there was no impact from it, and hence it does not need an article, although it may borderline meet WP:GNG. HurricaneFan 25 22:40, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative redirect target is List of earthquakes in Canada, assuming that I get around to turning it into a proper table with a 'comments' column, which could carry all the content here pretty much (like in List of earthquakes in Greece). Mikenorton (talk) 23:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's important that we keep the information about the geology of the actual earthquake intact somewhere alongside a citation, ie. that it occurred in a near-surface fault separate from the actual Cascadia subduction zone. ~AH1 ^(discuss!) 02:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've started to expand the List of earthquakes in Canada (in one of my sandboxes) with a comments column where this information could be put - should be ready later today or tomorrow. Mikenorton (talk) 17:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's done, and I've added that one detail and changed it from transform to strike-slip as it wasn't on the plate boundary. Mikenorton (talk) 22:51, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am the Wikipedian who started this article - yet the person who nominated this article for deletion did not notify me of this discussion. I wonder why not? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:01, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for not doing that Ottawahitech, I think that this is only the second article that I've taken to AfD and I thought that putting a message on the talk page and the tag on the article page was enough - having re-read the AfD rules I see that notifying the article creator is encouraged, so again sorry. Mikenorton (talk) 15:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks for explaining.

Wikipedia is losing editors at an alarming rate. My pet theory is that a lot of it is happening because of aggressive deletions of articles – many times without notification. After all Wikipedians are volunteers who are not rewarded financially for their work. It is a shame to slight them further by deleting material they spent time on.

Sorry for using this AFD as a soapbox, but I really don’t know how else to raise awareness at Wikipedia, other than at individual discussions of articles that I have started when they are being nominated for deletion (several such articles have been deleted with no notification). Ottawahitech (talk) 15:59, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For some larger articles it would impractical to notify everyone involved, which might be why it is "encouraged" not mandatory. Still, for the very reasons you stated above, when possible I think it's good courtesy/practice. Again, you and AstroHurricane001 did a very good job on this, which is why I thought it was appropriate to put an AfD notice on your talk pages. I agree with your comments, and also appreciate Mikenorton's as well. Cheers! LoveUxoxo (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ottawahitech, try a discussion about your theory at Wikipedia Talk:AFD. For quite sometime I have been against notibilty and other rather dumb policies on Wikipedia. Earthquakes are not news, they are geologic events created by movements of the Earth. It dosen't matter how small the article is it is still useful in some ways. Volcanoguy 18:51, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Earthquakes are not news, they are geologic events created by movements of the Earth. Heh, good point Volcanoguy. However I don't think it's a question of having information about this event in the encyclopedia, as much as formatting. Should it be in a stand-alone article, or part of a larger grouping of similar events? LoveUxoxo (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the suggestion to direct discussion to Wikipedia Talk:AFD made by Volcanoguy: Someone already beat me to it (Wikipedia_talk:AFD#Checks_and_Balances_in_the_Articles_for_Deletion_Nomination_Process), but it does not look like anything came out of that elaborate and thoughtful discussion? Ottawahitech (talk) 01:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The earthquake was the strongest in the Vancouver Island region since 2004 and prompted some scientists and residents to further examine the risks associated with the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The West Coast of North America (California to BC) had seen a relative lull in strong earthquake activity since probably the Eureka earthquake in 2010. Perhaps there is some intrinsic notability here. ~AH1 ^(discuss!) 19:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AH1, do you have a source for the review of seismic hazard that you mentioned? I did some searching around but couldn't find anything - it would make a difference regarding notability. Mikenorton (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is the thing with tropical cyclone AfDs. The tropical cyclone could be strong (e.g. Category 4 on the SSHS) but it didn't cause any damage. Most news reports of these kind of storms basically repeat what the NHC says, and it's never anything exceptional. I couldn't find any substantial reports of damage for this quake. HurricaneFan 25 14:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In the earthquake notability guidelines (disclosure: I came up with them) it states that "being mentioned in the mainstream media is not in itself evidence of notability, particularly if the news reports are only during the few days immediately after the event".

Delete. Moderately well-crafted and very long-standing, but hoaxes. Two of the books cited in these articles are real. Chicago's Most Wanted: The Top Ten Book of Murderous Mobsters, Midway Monsters, and Windy City Oddities exists. It does not, however, contain anything resembling the content claimed to be sourced to it. The name "Cavanaugh" appears no where in the book and the content at the page numbers cited in no way resembles what is claimed to be there. The Gold Coast and the Slum: Sociological Study of Chicago's Near North Side is also a real book, and also does not include the claimed material (again, no mention of "Cavanaugh" whatsoever). The remaining books (A Day in my Life, Life at War: The Cavanaugh Family, and Criminal Minds) are entirely fabrications, complete with false ISBN numbers for the latter two. I considered the possibility that the ISBN numbers may have been miscopied. Searches for any of these titles by name or by author is nevertheless fruitless. In the case of Life at War, the most-cited supposed source, the purported publisher has a comprehensive list of their works available online, with the claimed work conspicuously absent. Google news searches for Cavanaugh produce nothing remotely applicable. And, historically, Moran was the last head of the North Side Gang; it ceased to exist as an entity following his exit from the Chicago underworld (as our article on the gang correctly states). It is unfortunate that these articles have survived as long as they have (since 2008); additionally, this editor was at times a fairly prolific contributor to other underworld and sports articles. The depth and complexity of this hoax mean that anything added by Hdxstunts1 should be carefully evaluated. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ShreveNewsMan, could you clarify one point for me? If both The Houston Progressive Voice and the Montrose Star are derived from the Houston Voice of the 1980s and 1990s, then how exactly does the history of splits/mergers/takeovers work? Is this newspaper a split from the modern Montrose Star, a remnant from the old Houston Voice, or is there a more complicated history involved here? I think this would be useful for both this discussion, and for writing the actual encyclopaedia content. Regards — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 15:18, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I haven't found any coverage of this new paper at all, and the "under construction" condition of its website suggests that it may not even be publishing yet. I also don't see any basis for treating this as an actual continuation of the Houston Voice, which had different ownership, although it's possible that a mention of this paper as a quasi-successor could be justified in the Montrose Star article (if it is kept). --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:58, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The same argument can be said about the Montrose Star as well. The original Montrose Star changed its name in 1978 to the Houston Voice, the Houston Voice ran until 2009. The Montrose Star was revived by Henry McClurg in April of 2009, and that was actually a name change from the Montrose G.E.M. It went through 2 ownerships before even getting to the current owner GLYP Media/Laura Villagran. So this to is a "quasi-successor" of the original Montrose Star in 1974. Teh 2009 Montrose Star was a few months before the Houston Voice officially went out of business. --ShreveNewsMan (talk) 22:34, 1 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.16.162 (talk) [reply]

Hi Cirt, could you clarify which coverage in secondary sources you are referring to? It seems that from your comment you are considering this newspaper as part of the Montrose Star–Houston Voice progression, but I haven't seen any convincing evidence that we shouldn't consider it a totally separate newspaper, and it appears that this particular newspaper team hasn't even started publishing yet. Moreover, if it is a part of this progression but not a notable paper in its own right, then the appropriate thing to do would seem to be merging with (or redirecting to) Montrose Star/Houston Voice. Your comments would be much appreciated. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 15:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest merging them all, then changing the main article to the Houston Voice the Houston Voice is main most notable paper here. It was around for over 20 years, the Montrose Star was only from 1974 to 1978 then 2009 to present. Montrose Ste should redirect to Houston Voice, and just redirect The Houston Progressive Voice to Houston Voice as well.

Keep. Historically significant as an early gay-oriented paper, as confirmed here and here. Many more references to it under its later name Houston Voice[4][5], including examples of it serving as a source for other notable publications as well as coverage of the paper's closing in 2009 as part of the failure of Window Media. Thus, passes WP:NMEDIA under "significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets".

Driving etiquette

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

I created this stub a few days ago. It was promptly "deleted".. well... it was redirected to traffic, but the content essentially was deleted. Andyjsmith's rationale was that: "The material is fully covered elsewhere in wikipedia. I'm not convinced that there is such a thing as "driving etiquette" but if you think there is and you can prove it from reliable sourced then you should look at adding it to an existing article such as Traffic" My counter argument was: "I do feel that your rash deletion was unjustified. You do have a point, [that the info might already be in other articles on Wikipedia] but there is no mention of driving etiquette in the article Traffic, and although it was a quick stub that I wrote in a little while, I do think that the subject has a lot of potential and a lot of importance in it's own right. Take a peek at Driving etiquette at Google Books - the first source specifically. It seems like a well-documented concept. Also I think if it were an article, it would be a very useful article. I would imagine many people would find it useful to find a concise article on driving etiquette without having to fish out the info from various other parts of the internet. I personally think that it was a rash deletion. I'm up for a second opinion though - if it fails at Articles for Deletion page, so be it". So, here I am.--Coin945 (talk) 13:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At maximum, Merge and Redirect to Traffic. There is ample coverage of this topic already on the mainspace. Tarheel95 (Sprechen) 14:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect (which is what I originally did with the article). This is a pointless article - anything of note is adequately covered elsewhere. And on what planet is "Not cleaning your car in the winter" part of "driving etiquette" which "minimises collisions and anxiety"? andy (talk) 14:31, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not cleaning your car in the winter - never heard of it before either. The picture says it all.--Coin945 (talk) 17:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For the record, I did say (or at least imply) that it was a badly written, first draft, stub article :D. I do think that the concept is notable in its own right however. It seems to me (personally) that the traffic article has taken upon itself to talk about topics it shouldn't really be taking about, for instance, it seems to talk a lot about Traffic code such a turning, overtaking etc. even though there is another (albeit terrible) article for that. My suggestion is that, yes, even if the content is already included in the traffic article, perhaps it doesn't really belong there and there should be another article strictly devoted to that content. Not even giving the article a chance seems like a bad decision imo. This could be a very important article in the future if it is nurtured by many editors. P.S in case anyone here gets the wrong idea, no, I am not (I forgot the Wiki term) putting forward the exact same argument in different forums in the hopes that I can force it to pass in a different context. I simply wanted a second opinion.--Coin945 (talk) 14:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Driving etiquette is the subject of many articles and books and may be worthy of an article on its own. It's distinct from rules of the road in that many techniques are suggested but not legally required to drive (such as use of turn signals/slowly passing another vehicle/etc). Traffic does not contain the same information as the etiquette article. That said, the etiquette article requires some substantial rewriting. It is not encyclopedic as it currently stands, I'll see if I can reword some of it.--Stvfetterly (talk) 17:25, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The examples in the article show that there's no single thing that can be called "driving etiquette" beyond the basic rules of the road. What counts as politeness, for example, is often culture specific e.g. double parking and driving below posted speed limits (which in most countries are a maximum limit not a minimum one!). In some countries you are expected to move over for an emergency vehicle but in others you're simply expected to stop dead. In the UK flashing your headlights can say "thank you" but in Italy it's aggressive. And so on. Even in any one country people have different ways of doing things, e..g. in the UK Yorkshiremen, who are by and large a polite bunch of people, drive like maniacs and see nothing wrong with it! I fail to see how this dogs breakfast of an article can be salvaged into anything worth while. andy (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Once a bit of lovin' has been given to the article (with the many different available sources in GoogleBooks and GoogleScholar being consulted), I would imagine there being different sections on the general curtesy rules in the different cultures. Also, as well as documenting the things that are considered bad etiquette due to being dangerous, the article would also document the many pet-peeves that drivers have (e.g hating slow drivers is more of a pet-peeve than an actual danger, and it was described in this way in the source I got it from). It's early days. I don't think you can dismiss an article because of its ambiguity. There are many other articles which have been written on ambiguous topics. They merely have to clearly document all the different interpretations of the concept.--Coin945 (talk) 17:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the north of England many people think it's polite to wear a hat when driving; in the south it's often derided. Will you be documenting this sort of thing too? andy (talk) 17:51, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If its a widely documented cultural pet peeve, then yes. P.S the article could also discuss the changed in driving etiquette throughout history. For instance (i'm sure there are sources to back me up on this), i'm pretty sure that when cars were first invented, driver were expected to take their hat off to passing drivers, as a friendly hello. That sort of thing. But only if it is a cultural phenomenon. A cultural pet peeve.--Coin945 (talk) 17:59, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You bet: try googling "wearing a hat while driving". Also "wearing shoes while driving" and "laughing while driving". But on the other hand wearing white gloves while driving seems nowadays to be a matter of etiquette in Korea and nowhere else. andy (talk) 18:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's your point exactly? Are you just giving examples of how subjective the topic might be? The thing is... well, obviously not to that degree, but there can be some degree of objectively in coverage. Take a look at this: [6]. Question 7. Obviously where it was written makes a different but this is info. Good info that we can use. Here too: [7]--Coin945 (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded the article and updated it with several book/magazine references regarding driving etiquette. It is a term that reaches back to at least the early 1900s and is the subject matter of many books. I think that (along with the sheer number of easy to find sources) would make it notable enough for a separate article.--Stvfetterly (talk) 18:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be WP:MADEUP. I could find no references to "Majstor series" on Google scholar, Google books, or Google itself (besides Wikipedia mirrors). The content itself seems a bit questionable: it looks like a trivial application of the triangular number formula (which doesn't seem to have a name, and I believe is very ancient). Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I personally wrote the article about Majstor series yesterday (11.30.2010). I understand how it looks WP:MADEUP, since it isn't anywhere on the web. I wanted to find a simple way for doing summation from any number to any number in the Z set of numbers, and with that expression that is 100% possible. I didn't know about the existence of the triangular number, I only checked all the types of summation and mathematical series and I didn't find such an approach to the subject, so I thought I could post it since it was very simple and reliable. If it goes against Wikipedia's rules I think it would be correct to delete it, since it's an idea not yet verified from any valid source other than me. Thank you Slawomir for checking it out.

Keep - the article was indeed a sad sight. However, Knott certainly is a long-serving staffer on the Washington Times. Search is harder than it could be as 'Tom Knott' is quite a common name: I tried Google search which helped a bit. Knott certainly ruffles feathers: have added a citation or two to prove he's notable among other journalists. Not a man I'd like, I think, but people definitely notice him.

Keep – The article itself may have been lacking reliable sources, but they were available. Topic notability is about the availability of reliable sources, not whether or not they are present in an article. Non-dubious notability. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:16, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete: blog posts should not be used on a WP:BLP at all, and in any case do not establish notability. The only remaining sources appears to be Knott's own writings for the Washington Times, which likewise do not establish notability. Therefore no reliable independent coverage has been proffered to establish notability, and we're left with simply the claim that the topic is "a long-serving staffer on the Washington Times" -- which would appear insufficient, on its own, to establish notability. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:32, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hrafn's observations are, I respectfully observe, simply not true, and risk misrepresenting in good faith what is written in the article.

The citations by Etan Thomas and Dan Steinberg are respectively from the Huffington Post and the Washington Post, the latter I agree a blog-like column but from a staff reporter on the newspaper, writing on the newspaper's website, so these are good strong sources, and exactly the kind of place where journalists do comment publicly, responsibly and accountably on each other's work. ("Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control.") These are serious journalists on reliable publications, and they have taken the time to risk their reputations in public to criticise Knott. So, yes, these constitute "reliable independent coverage":

^ Thomas, Etan (November 27, 2006). "Huff Post Politics". Work Ethic? Look At Your Columns, Tom Knott. Huffington Post. Retrieved December 01, 2011.

^ Steinberg, Dan (June 15, 2007). "D.C. Sports Bog". Tom Knott Crushes Gilbert. Washington Post. Retrieved December 01, 2011.

As for listing Knott's own writings, they are not there to establish notability - I've simply provided a means of finding 245 articles via a single link, while the two articles of his that are cited directly are those that the other journalists were discussing, so I have rightly included links to those to make visible what the matter under discussion -specific items of Knott's journalism- was. The claim to notability absolutely does not rest on the true assertion that Knott is a long-standing staffer on the Washington Times. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who is it who is making "observations [that] are, I respectfully observe, simply not true" here, Chiswick? "The Huffington Post is an American news website and content-aggregating blog..." It is also clear from WP:RSN discussions that this source is not considered particularly reliable. The DCist is likewise a blog. Whilst the Washington Post-parented blog citations may be acceptable under the "some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs" exception, such blog posts add very little to notability in terms of prominence and depth of sourcing. What we have here is four blog posts and the topics own writings -- this is not "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 08:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right about DCIST - I had filtered against blogs but some always get through. Huffington isn't the New York Times but still, it's a site with some standing. The sports blogs of US newspapers are allowed under WP's rules, and they seem especially appropriate in an article on a sports reporter.

I have added some more reliable, independent sources to substantiate the article, including PBS, The LA Times, and Salon.com among others. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Voted Most Random is listed on both the websites for The Bamboozle Roadshow and Warped Tour 2010 as well as on multiple other already credible and monitored wikipedia sites. Pictures at both of these festivals can be added once the 4 day trial period is concluded. Few bands have accomplished what this band has in this amount of time, and this is worthy of noting. The band does have an album: "Everything You Want and More." It is composed of 7 songs so debate has occurred on whether this is to be considered an E.P. or a Full-length (full-lengths have occurred with less).

Neutral. The COI editing aside, I feel that this could go either way. The band has played at several notable tours, but I don't see any thing alone the lines of "non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour" as far as their performances in these tours go. I'm not sure where HerCampus.com or NoiseTrend would lie as far as reliable sources go and that's the only sources on the page that mentions the band that wasn't a link to the Wikipedia page or to the tour sites. I'm leaning towards NoiseTrend being a reliable source, but I'm going to be neutral until someone can verify whether or not it's a reliable source. I did clean up the trivial sources, though.

29 Facebook followers? If you ask me, if you're going to assert the notability of something based on the number of Facebook followers, any number below 10,000 is a strong assertion that the topic does not meet our inclusion guidelines. Fortunately, we don't base notability on Facebook popularity, we base it on the number of reliable third-party references that exist on the topic. You've supplied one that does meet the third-party requirement although the reliability part is found wanting: if you feel you have to explain why Scott is popular, that the same as asserting that she's not. Indeed Wikipedia doesn't have an article on her yet, and the link you provided is something she posted herself. Fails on all counts. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 05:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It doesn't matter how many seemingly notable authors have reviewed the book, notability is not inherited. Unless the authors posted reviews to places other than Goodreads, you can't really count those. Goodreads is considered to be along the lines of IMDb as far as sources go, ie, a trivial source. I did a search for the book and was unable to find anything that would show that this book series passes WP:NBOOK. There aren't any reliable sources to show that this self-published series passes notability guidelines. It might be notable at some point in time, but right now it isn't. Most self-published works will never pass notability guidelines no matter how good they are because they won't have enough reliable sources to pass notability guidelines.

Comment: The series or the article? In either case it doesn't matter how well written the article is or how good the book series is, you still have to provide reliable sources to prove that it passes notability guidelines.

Native-born citizen

Not enough of a topic here to merit an encyclopedic article. If there's anything worthwhile to merge it could be merged with jus soli. Mystylplx (talk) 03:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Superlatively obvious Keep Not only is there gobs of material about this topic in reliable sources [14], it may (I'm not joking) be a constitutional requirement for becoming the President of the United States [15]. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 03:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We already have a Natural born citizen article. Mystylplx (talk) 08:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Had you read the linked law review article, which explores whether "native-born" citizenship is required by the natural born citizen clause of the United States Constitution, you would understand the difference. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 17:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I've also read the Congressional Research Service report which says native born citizenship is not required. The point is the Constitutional requirement is for natural born citizenship, not native born citizenship, and to the extent native born citizenship plays into Presidential eligibility it is covered in the existing article. Mystylplx (talk) 20:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And BTW, the linked Yale Law Revue article comes to the same conclusion, so I'm not sure why you bring it up. Both the law revue article and the Congressional Research Service say that anyone who is a 'citizen at birth' is eligible for the Presidency, which includes native-born citizens, but is not limited to native-born citizens. Mystylplx (talk) 23:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article "The Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility: An Approach for Resolving Two Hundred Years of Uncertainty" [16], is obviously not describing settled law. The fact that the authors endorse a particular POV on this issue does not eliminate the controversy, which they acknowledge. Moreover, citations such as "the Congressional Research Service report" are so ambiguous as to afford editors no reasonable prospects for locating the document. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 03:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's cited in the lead of the article in question. Second paragraph. Reference #1 for the article. Mystylplx (talk) 05:56, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And as I stated previously, the point is the natural-born citizen article is specifically on the meaning of the phrase in the U.S. Constitution regarding Presidential eligibility. Any possible native-born citizen article would not be on that as the Constitution says nothing about native-born citizens. Any such article would have to be international in scope and would necessarily be a duplicate of jus soli, an article which already exists. Mystylplx (talk) 06:12, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're using a reference found in an article which concedes that it is about an uncertain area of law, for which the authors propose a clarification, to argue that the uncertainty does not exist? Did the Congressional Research Service know better than Yale Law Review, before the article was published? Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 02:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't get where you're coming from on this. The CRS report came out after the Law Review article, and even so the fact remains--the Natural born citizen article deals with the question of Presidential eligibility. Any possible native-born citizen article would not and should not as the Constitution says nothing about native-born citizens. It's the native-born citizen article we are discussing here. The fact there is some small amount of confusion regarding the meaning of natural-born citizen is no reason to keep this other, different, article alive. They are two different articles. Mystylplx (talk) 06:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Jus soli. Most of this small article merely duplicates material covered much more comprehensively within the Jus soli article. The place where it differs is this paragraph:

Being a native-born citizen is not exactly the same as the principle of jus soli (that is, citizenship due to place of birth). For example, a person born in Japan to Japanese parent(s) is clearly a native-born citizen of Japan. However, such a person became a citizen of Japan due to jus sanguinis (i.e., citizenship through descent) as Japan does not recognize the principle of jus soli. That is, if parent(s) who are not Japanese citizens visit Japan just to give birth to a person, that person will not be entitled to a Japanese citizenship.

It starts with the unsourced claim that "native-born" ≠ "jus soli", but then fails to explain the difference in the example given. There may be scope to improve the Jus soli article as regards the "native-born" term, but not using any content from this article, so I would oppose a merge attempt. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the current text is suspiciously similar to equine digestive byproducts. If this is redirected, which doesn't actually require AFD at all, I'd oppose protecting the redirect or other measures that would prevent writing a decent article on this topic. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 05:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I buy the logic in the above paragraph. I don't think it follows that anyone who is native-born and a citizen is necessarily a native-born citizen. Certainly that meaning has even less claim to meriting an encyclopedia article than the stricter meaning of someone who earned citizenship by being native-born.

I am also nominating the following related page because it's a film directed by the subject of the article above, still in development, with no indication of its notability per WP:NFILMS, and no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources.

The baby who is the subject of the film did get some national press coverage as part of a debate about bed blocking, but the article isn't about the baby, but rather about the film. Bed blocking currently redirects to a single paragraph in another article, and both the baby and this film would definitely be worth mentioning in a full article about bed blocking, but there's insufficient notability for this film for its own article. There's an evident conflict of interest in the second article too, as it was created and mostly edited by the film's director, though as above, that on its own is not a reason to delete.

Granted, those obits do describe him as "one of the most recognizable people in Springfield", "the Walter Cronkite of central Illinois", etc. But that's eulogizing. IMO there should have been more coverage during his lifetime if he was truly notable.

Keep Although he does not have the "clout" as a national newscaster, he still reported on various life-changing events. There are many things that he did cover over his entire broadcasting career. Some of which I did point out in the article. There are many accounts of his life which I did not put on to Wikipedia, see this memoir. I do not have the time to write a multi-page document/article about the subject matter either. Since Wikipedia is able to be edited by anyone, others should be able to pickup where others have left off. Also, I do find Wikipedia's policies on "noteworthy" articles rather bias towards people that are well known in the news or items that impact a vast majority of people. -- Mr Xaero (talk) 03:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per Mr. Xaero. Also, Don Hickman was considered the "Walter Cronkite of Central Illinois" by many who watched, worked at and grew up with WICS. Plenty can be added to this article as Mr. Hickman was apparently very active in the Central Illinois communities with various charitable works and such. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No indication that this local celebrity meets Wikipedia:Notability (people) in the context of a worldwide encyclopedia. Saying that a 30-year newscaster reported a lot of significant events is not a sign of notability; any competent person, whose main career was news, has the same claim. Local celebrities are often called the somebody-of-somewhere; that the person's fame is explained as the somebody-else-of-somewhere, and that Walter Cronkite was not called "the Don Hickman of America", should put the comparison in perspective. The essay Wikipedia:Geographic imbalance explains why subjects of regional notability often do not meet Wikipedia notability guidelines. (Yes, Wikipedia has a "bias towards people that are well known in the news or items that impact a vast majority of people", as Mr Xaero put it. That's how it's intended to work.) Wikipedia is not a memorial and inclusion or deletion is not a contest about whether someone personally deserves to be remembered. --Closeapple (talk) 20:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dheera (film)

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

Sadly, this film is in development hell, meaning production of the film has stopped or is completely unknown. With regards to that, the film has severely lost notability, with no reliable sources pointing to indications of progress in the film's production, no clear information on cast members, or projected release time. With news about Rana and Kochadaiyaan, Dheera does not seem likely to continue work with filming in the near future.

I was invited to visit. Did so. Looked at the article and researched under its different names. I agree that userfication is sensible. Proposed film has had off and on coverage since 2007, and has gone throgh at least three name changes. As it is still not confirmed as entring priniple filming, it fals WP:NFF. But as the topic has had discussion in sources, we might also consider a redirect of this latest title and the earlier ones to its director at Soundarya Rajinikanth where it might then be spoken of and sourced in context to his career... as a planned film that has had setbacks. The moment it might be confirmed as having begun shooting, the redirect can be reverted and the article then expanded and sourced to reflect this.

Appreciate the links. But a lot can happen in over the next 9 months, including both the beginning of principle filming or the announcement of yet another set-back. These are the sorts of vagaries that WP:NFF addresses. We do have options that will protect the article's history, allow placement of contxtual information in the director's article, and yet still allow the aticle to return when production is much more imminent. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 10:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. "But a lot can happen in over the next 9 months", it sounds speculative. Tough the article can be userified, but please accept what sources say. If the film is back on platform, there is no option to delete or moving it. -- Karthik Nadar (talk) 11:25, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The CNN-IBN article says Kochadaiyaan will release in August 2012, not Dheera. In fact, the only thing it says about Dheera is that "it is yet to see the light of day", which indicates the fate of the film is pretty much unknown. EelamStyleZ (talk) 13:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Oh! Thanks for pointing me out. I guess redirecting to Soundarya Rajinikanth will be a better option then as of now. However I m concerned with the Oneindia.in source which states, "Soundarya restarts Rajinikanth's Dheera", and further states that Soundarya Rajinikanth has confirmed the news in Twitter. Thanks and regards. -- Karthik Nadar (talk) 13:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, even if the there are no indications for the film to be dropped, there's virtually no real word about it. Sources provided by Karthikndr do not seem to mention the fact that the film is progressing with confidence (in fact, the CNN-IBN source does not mention anything about Dheera starting, it only says that the film is "yet to see the light of day" which explains nothing). Consider long delayed films like Solli Adippen and Marudhanayagam which went completely lost in the media (of course, Dheera isn't as bad as those films at the moment).
