Name clash with upcoming project connected baby, by film co-creator Suzanne Zeedyk Joni Bendall, Head of Social Media, Suzanne Zeedyk Ltd. (talk) 19:54, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Joni.Bendall You want to delete this article because your employer is planning on using the name for a different project? Crow^Caw 22:00, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Affirmative. You'll have to forgive me, I am new here - having read through, I didn't think my intention contravened community guidelines. My employer is co-creator and owner of the rights to the film the article describes. As you rightly mentioned, the name is being used for an upcoming project. Joni Bendall, Head of Social Media, Suzanne Zeedyk Ltd. (talk) 22:14, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Joni.Bendall That is actually not a reason to delete this article. If the new project ends up having an article here as well, it will be disambiguated so that both articles can exist. Crow^Caw 22:18, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy Keep #1 due to the above~~. Striking vote since it doesnt qualify. No opinion on the article itself, just the nom struck me as out of process. Crow^Caw 15:20, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is actually a bit of a concern here about this film potentially failing WP:NFILM. Of the sources on the article, only one of them is actually a WP:RS that can show notability, as the other two are pretty much WP:PRIMARY sources since one is a notification of a screening by the film festival itself and the other is from an organization that funded the film. The original deletion rationale is invalid, but it actually brings up a pretty big concern of notability overall and may still end up being deleted... which also casts a bit of a doubt of notability on the other project that is supposed to be added. I'd probably suggest leaving this open over the concerns of notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:16, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sourcing isn't the strongest, but there is enough here to warrant a keep. If there was an article on Zeedyk herself, I'd recommend that this get merged and redirected to her, but there isn't. However I do want to stress very, very strongly that I would highly recommend that Joni.Bendall either not create it herself or that she go through AfC to make the article because of the strong COI here. I'd also really recommend that you read over our guidelines on editing in general, conflict of interest, notability, and so on. As a COI editor you will be expected to know our guidelines better than a casual editor, as every edit you make will be heavily scrutinized. This may occasionally seem like overkill, but Wikipedia has had a very long history of people trying to use it to promote themselves, either by editing themselves or by hiring people to edit for them as part of a publicity crew. You will need to be able to state/follow policy without misquoting or misinterpreting it, which is especially important because again- we have a history of people doing just that in an attempt to keep an article. Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's not, but doing this is a surefire way to ensure that people assume that you are only here to promote. In the cases of where it's unintentional, it's had the unfortunate effect of having people write off editors completely and sometimes people can get pretty brusque in their speech. Sometimes it can even affect how much people are willing to go to help you. I wish it was otherwise, but it happens and I've seen pages get deleted that might have otherwise been salvageable. I know this all sounds a little harsh and a little WP:BITE-y, but I really want to stress how important it is that you go over our guidelines as a whole. Some of it pertains to this article, as it had some fairly promotional WP:PEACOCK type phrasing in it, but I also want to give you a little head's up on the other project that you are intending to add to Wikipedia, as I didn't see much out there that didn't pertain to the 2011 film. Just because a project exists doesn't automatically mean that it belongs on Wikipedia (WP:ITEXISTS), so you may want to be cautious about adding the new article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:28, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep invalid AFD and close per cogent analysis by Tokyogirl79 and the obvious WP:COI of nominator... who should go study WP:PRIMER and WP:NAU and more importantly WP:DEL#REASON. As this 2011 film already exists, your production company will have to settle on Connected Baby (2015 film) (or whatever release year) if or when the newer project merits an article. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 21:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the apparent obvious mistake made listing this under AfD. I did so in good faith, after examining WP:DEL#REASON. I would still argue that this article has potential grounds for deletion under lack of notability, but it is clear that there is some doubt to that. As it stands, understanding that from the POV of more experienced users than I the article is not suitable for deletion, I shall endeavour to ensure that the article is more accurate and follows guidelines on promotional phrasing.
additionally, we'd would like to make the following 3 observations, in the final stages of this discussion:
1. My employer did not create the original Wikipedia entry. She had resisted its creation at the time of its creation. (She has since tried to ensure at least the accuracy of the information contained in the article.)
2. She agrees with your analysis, that the film does not fit the criteria of 'notable'. This is one of the reasons she would like the entry removed. The film never premiered in any international film festivals, nor was it reviewed by any formal judging panel. Rather, it should be considered a 'resource' for those interested in infant psychology.
3. It is the case that the name of the film is closely related to a forthcoming new initiative, by the same name 'connected baby'. But we do not plan to seek an entry in Wikipedia on the project. So there is no conflict there.
If the decision is made to retain the article, then we have a revised entry that we wish to post, which gives a more detailed account of the film's purpose and history.Joni Bendall, Head of Social Media, Suzanne Zeedyk Ltd. (talk) 11:14, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Joni.Bendall: In anything you suggest, please avoid WP:PROMOTION, but best if you pretty much stay away from editing the article yourself. That Yunshui created the article back in 2011, means that "someone-not-your-employer" thought the topic notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. That your employer may not personally think it notable runs contrary to our notability criteria for films. That she may wish this one deleted because of her plans for a new and similarly named project seems a bit self-serving at this point it time. See WP:NAU. If she indeed has no plans to replace this article, then your original deletion argument above fails. A new article on the new film may well be created by someone else and would then be titled per WP:NCF. But most importantly, as WP:COI strongly discourages anyone with too-close a conection from editing topics with which they have vested interests. IF your employer would like to have the current article modified in some manner, you or she can offer suggestions on the article's talk page and provide the reliable sources, sources independent of the film or filmmaker, that support and confirm and such suggestions. Study WP:V, and WP:RS. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 18:12, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Molemo Maarohanye

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

This one is definitely borderline, mainly because the subject doesn't meet WP:PERP, and although he's supposedly a former child star and current hip-hop artist, the gospel tune mentioned in the article appears to be his only real hit song ever, and the South African charts that are RS are for airplay only. Therefore, I can't verify anything in the vein of WP:BAND, WP:ACTOR, or anything like that. There is a lot of coverage, but it is all written about the court case and things that happened afterwards. The articles aren't tremendously in-depth, and tend to be repetitious. In short, I can't determine with any certainty if he was really notable prior to the crime, and the crime itself hasn't been portrayed as notable other that the fact that it involves a minor B-list celebrity (maybe?), so despite the coverage, I can see this being WP:NOTNEWS.

Unsourced personal essay. There are sources cited, but they are either unreliable per WP:RS and WP:N, or do not appear to exist. May also be a copyvio, although if it is I haven't found the source yet. PROD removed without explanation by article creator. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:15, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The consensus is (just) to keep - but work needs to be done on the article, with more reliable independent sources which directly address the declaration itself. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 00:54, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

99 Percent Declaration

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

Much of the article has been removed that gave it accurate referenced context. It continues to be nothing more than a personal promotional page for this non-notable document. Talk page shows direction is being given from document supporters and those with a financial as well as personal stake in this subject.--Amadscientist (talk) 09:28, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 January 24. Snotbot t • c » 09:45, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - When I saw the long list of news sources in the article, I thought this might be a politically motivated AfD. However, on closer examination, *none* of the cited news sources even mention the 99% Declaration, in fact they all describe how the Occupy Wall Street have struggled to formulate demands. On that basis, that the article is entirely self-sourced, I would suggest the Declaration (online petition etc.) is instead mentioned in the main articles, Occupy Wall Street and We are the 99%. Sionk (talk) 10:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the references that did mention the subject by name were negative and removed for that reason. The article has had all referenced material that contained direct context to the petition deleted and replaced by a good amount of un-referenced material. Even with the referenced information it is little more than a stub that is unlikely to expand. There may actually need to be an IP check on users to determine if a sock puppet is being used by one or more blocked editors.--Amadscientist (talk) 10:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To which sources are you referring? The first several I looked at mention it in detail. Also the "Further reading" ELs do, too. Selery (talk) 16:47, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject matter itself is sufficiently notable and attested to by reliable sources to warrant a keep at this time. I think that there is a lot of frustration, however, with having to continuously deal with editors with a conflict of interest who continually add self promotional, unreferenced assertions. That's common, however, with article on political subjects. The best way to address it is through consistent application of Wikipedia standards.--Nowa (talk) 13:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Much Wikilove for that well worded contribution to this discussion!--Amadscientist (talk) 22:19, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Occupy Wall Street. Even the existence of sources doesn't make this a notable topic. It's hardly the US constitution or the Magna Carta--it's more like the Unabomber manifesto: a useful redirect. Drmies (talk) 15:45, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I could live with a merge....but which article?--Amadscientist (talk) 00:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:GNG with abundant sources. What happened to all the content? I'm not thrilled with how newbies are being treated. Much sourced content has been removed because it was added by an IP. Selery (talk) 16:46, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps if you read the talk page (not an easy task since the "newbies" frequently placed their edits at the top of the discussion rather than in order) you would find that the established editors have been very patient with them. Note as well that "they" sometimes called themselves one person and other times another, to the point that I suggested that they were lying. Then they said they were posting from the same computer and that I was an asshole, as were the rest of us. There is more...at any rate, they were asked again and again to read-up on policy rather than blame us for deleting information that they wanted to include in the article. Gandydancer (talk) 17:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried. I understand your frustration, but try to remember when you were new. I've often found that the best solution for situations which require a lot of patience is more patience. Selery (talk) 01:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New? You've been here for two years.--Amadscientist (talk) 07:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Odd, that is almost word for word what Dualus once wrote.Hmmmm. At any rate "Selery" It is not upon the older editors to guide you. those that do are a special kind of editor one should respond to with civility. If you can do that it matters not if you have been here a day or 7 years. Stop falling back on how new you are. If you are THAT new and know so little, perhaps you should be researching the policy and guidelines FIRST before you start editing. Just a suggestion.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:06, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Nominator claims on article talk page that group has no affiliation to Occupy Wall Street but Official Occupy Wall Street Working Group external link which was just removed establishes the affiliation. Nominator also claims that COI editors are directing work from talk page, but that is consistent with our WP:COI rules. Selery (talk) 17:00, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- - Actually...read that talk page again and try to be more accurate with accusations.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:09, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Also that is not consistant with Wikipedia:COI. It states clearly: "If you write in Wikipedia about yourself, your group, your company, or your pet idea, once the article is created, you have no rights to control its content, and no right to delete it outside our normal channels. Content is irrevocably added with every edit, and once added will not be deleted just because the author doesn't like it anymore. Any editor has the right to add or remove material to the article within the terms of our content policies. If there is anything publicly available on a topic that you would not want included in an article, it will probably find its way there eventually. More than one user has created an article only to find themselves presented in a poor light long-term by other editors. If you breach our editing policies or "edit war" in an attempt to obtain a version of your liking you are likely to have your editing access removed. In addition, if your article is found to not be worthy of inclusion in the first place, it will be deleted, as per our deletion policies. Therefore, do not create promotional or other articles lightly, especially on subjects you care about."

- I removed that link again: the above group is linked from the "official website" link. Drmies (talk) 18:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I would not object, but since this AFD is predicated on no official association between the two groups, could I ask that you please replace the EL for the duration of the AFD? Selery (talk) 01:22, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pending more reliable sources. Or can someone point me to a specific source which meets WP:N? I didn't see any. B^e——C_ritical 19:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep More than the two independent sources which are reliable enough to meet the WP:GNG criteria. Topic is encyclopedic and article is large enough not to merge to another article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Which independent reliable sources give in-depth coverage of "99 Percent Declaration"? Do you mean the two college newspapers in the further reading? Where are the others? Surely that's not sufficient justification for such a blatantly self-promotional article. Sionk (talk) 23:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - In-depth is not required. What I see is at least a screen full of information on the topic from these sites, and this satisfies the criterion. Self promotion is an internal article content problem and not relevant to the issue as to whether the topic should have an article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actualy promotional articles are one of the criteria for nomination for deletion.......which is why this is here. The references are horrible and several are opinion being cited as fact. (Huffington post references actualy are tertiary sources relying on the Gaurdian UK article by Haack who is central in this subject.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:13, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion: Seen articles with stronger arguments for notability in terms of meeting WP:GNG get deleted. Not sure on the sources here. I think a case could almost be made it could be deleted under the one event clause... but there are sources that I could argue elsewhere would represent meeting WP:GNG. Just yeah. Don't have enough evidence either way to have a coherent opinion given the articles current state.

Keep. Numerous references online which meet reliable sources criteria. Also, this article is a bit rough (in need of work). Page views 250+ per day suggest it is an important topic; I realize this is not a formal criteria for inclusion/deletion but it indicates interest in a subject, and suggests notability.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:12, 25 January 2012 (UTC) What I don't quite understand is -- is the 99% Declaration an outgrowth from the OWS movement (even a tangential splinter?) or a totally unaffiliated group jumping on the OWS bandwagon? If a splinter offshoot, the general sense is that there is disagreement between the main OWS opinion (if there is such) and the 99% Declaration, mainly that the OWS mainstream view (again if there is one) wants to distance itself from the 99% Declaration -- is this right (?) -- I just think whoever decides about this article should take this stuff under consideration, and I think it seems reasonable that if the 99%ers are totally unaffiliated with the OWS (and we're sure about this) then it weakens the case for this article, but if it's a splinter offshoot, even if there is disagreement between 99%ers and OWSers, then it suggests we keep it (again, partly since the page view counts are relatively high at 250) since it may impact on what happens to OWS, it may cause some kind of convention in Philadelphia, possibly.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:33, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I just looked examined all of the references in the article, and none of them give evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct. If one reads the exact section at WP:GNG for notability it actually fails all of them.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not fully understand about the lack of reliable sources or significant coverage arguments here. Huffington Post, The Atlantic, Philly.com, Washington Times, The News Tribune, Salon Magazine, KYW Newsradio, USA Today, The Guardian, The New York Times, Times Live, Canada.com, Business Mirror -- these are unreliable sources? Even three of these, by themselves, would be sufficient to source an article. While the 99% Declaration may not have been the entire subject of every article, in most instances it was not just a mention, but was discussed prominently -- as if its important -- something readers need to know about -- along with sometimes critical commentary for and against it. It is getting even more attention in the Huffington Post recently (more sources are available which were not included in the article). So I am confused about the reasoning here, and wondering if somebody might kindly explain?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course those newspapers are reliable sources for information. The question is whether there is significant coverage of 99 Percent Declaration in the cited sources, as opposed to general talk about the demands, or lack of demands, of the Occupy movement. Sionk (talk) 14:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Atlantic says the 99% Declaration is calling for a National General Assembly. USA Today discussed the bullet points that the group made, and quibbled with some of the points made. Times Live discussed the 99% Declarations notions of bailouts. CBS Philly described efforts by Philadelphia municipal officials to accommodate a convention if it happens. The Declaration has been discussed in foreign publications such as Canada.com. Kindly explain why you feel this is not significant coverage--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:22, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Many people believe that the 99% Declaration is an official document put out by OWS. I'd like to keep this article which states that it is not. Gandydancer (talk) 19:19, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now Sounds more than significant enough sources - and seems to still be operating. However, don't see any recent WP:RS action. If it goes defunct before having its event, it becomes a footnote merged into the Occupy Movement article. One doesn't have to agree with what's in it to support keeping it for now and putting back some of the content, assuming reliably sourced. CarolMooreDC 05:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Possible merge with Occupy Wall Street: I believe there is consensus to keep but serious doubts still remain as a full article to expand at this time. Maybe in the future as things progress, so we don't won't to lose the subject and we do want to note it with due weight that many feel it deserves. Perhaps we simply can merge the article back to the main OWS article under a section documenting the off shoot branches and movement that came directly from the original protests including any other documents and associated movements.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:33, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AUTHOR requires "a significant or well-known work". It is questionable whether On the Economics of Marriage - A Theory of Marriage, Labor and Divorce is well-known or has any wider significance. In any case, this guideline is aimed at "Creative professionals" writing for a wider audience, not WP:ACADEMICs, which have a separate set of criteria.
Merely citing the reviews for the bare fact that the book WP:ITEXISTS does little to establish notability. What do these reviews say about her writing?

Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Prof says "This guideline is independent from the other subject specific notability guidelines, such as ...WP:AUTH etc.: it is possible for an academic not to be notable under the provisions of this guideline but to be notable in some other way under one of the other subject specific notability guidelines". I take this to mean that we should look at guidelines like WP:auth for academics as well as WP:prof when deciding whether to throw away articles. The book in question has, according to google scholar been cited more than 200 times which would seem probably indicative of notability, and the three reviews listed in our article are articles in peer reviewed journals which are deemed reliable sources. WP:prof also seems to be passed by her work's notability and chief editorship of the journal. The Canadian court case stuff also seems more notable than the stuff you mention in your first post.

After a bit of Googling, I do think this fails WP:GNG.

It's been made into a redirect already, which is why I put the info here - the AfD notice went with the article, into the history. The issue of notability remains. Up to you whether you consider the references in the newly combined article sufficient to establish notability - in that case you can declare so and the AfD can be closed.

Keep, without diminishing the clean up issues, this is a completely standard index of people by occupation and nationality, as a complement to the category, not redundant to it. See WP:CLN. It's standard with this kind of list (any group of X for which not every X is notable: films, books, companies, etc.) to limit it to only those entries that merit articles (of which there are apparently 96 judging from the category, not all of which are presently in this list). That's not hard to do, that's not a controversial inclusion criterion. Prune the non-notable entries and that problem is solved; it would no longer be a "directory". Yet reading through this deletion discussion, it seems as if most of the commenters here are completely unfamiliar with CLN and with ordinary list practices because they can't seem to imagine how this list could be improved. Like any other list of people, it could and should be expanded beyond a bare alphabetical list: turn it into a sortable table with columns for birth date and death date, locale of practice, area of practice, or other annotations that a category cannot provide. postdlf (talk) 04:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do you define a "non-notable" entry? In case you've forgotten, this article is titled "List of Polish lawyers", not "List of notable Polish lawyers". It should either document all Polish lawyers, otherwise it should be deleted. With over 38 million people living in Poland, I suppose a fair number of those are lawyers. Are you going to pour over all the directories and search for each individual Polish lawyer? I can live with and happily support List of Polish lawyers from Gdańsk University, List of Polish lawyers from the University of Warsaw, or List of Attorneys of the Treasury (Poland), but to endorse the existence of a broad list as such this list is tantamount to endorsing the creation of List of Indian lawyers, List of British lawyers, List of Canadian lawyers, List of American footballers, List of American lawyers, List of Indian cricketers, and every other impossibly broad lists. @Postdlf, when you say "Prune the non-notable entries and that problem is solved," don't you think your request/suggestion is totally not consistent with the article's topic, which is supposed to document every Polish lawyer? I strongly urge the closing admin to ignore all rules in this case -- he/she doesn't have to follow WP:CLN. Furthermore, how can anyone know that some of these entries aren't non-existent people? --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 11:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, your comment from start to finish is a bunch of nonsense. A notable entry is a notable article subject, i.e., one that merits their own article, the same general standard we use across the board for articles about people. It's not a standard I've invented here specific to this topic or list; had you never seen the term "non-notable" before? It's just a matter of convention that it's titled "List of Polish lawyers", not "List of Polish lawyers that merit articles". Again, this is nothing new. Note the titles at Lists of people by occupation; List of lists of films; Lists of books; Category:Lists of companies by industry... In all of those cases, the lists are restricted to only notable entries yet we do not bother to put "notable" in the title (nor is it Category:Notable Polish lawyers, for that matter, yet no one takes the category name as an invitation to create articles for every Polish lawyer). "It should either document all Polish lawyers, otherwise it should be deleted." Um, no. You really need to get more familiar with list practice and standards before making such ridiculous demands. "How can anyone know that some of these entries aren't non-existent people?" The same way that we can know that an individual article's subject isn't a non-existent person. postdlf (talk) 15:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nom's initially stated concern is the redlinks. He is correct -- to the extent that they do not have appropriate refs -- that they should be deleted. But AfD is not for cleanup. That issue aside, the list is appropriate -- as already pointed out above -- per WP:NOTDUP and WP:CLN. Additionally, as reflected in Category:Lists of people by occupation and nationality, we have many such lists, which reflects that convention.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm always concerned with redlink purges wiping out potentially viable article topic lists; that's one of the reasons why we started making lists in the first place so long ago, as to-do lists. postdlf (talk) 15:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I understand. But the rules in lists of people are different than the rules elsewhere. They are pretty clear in WP:LISTPEOPLE. I can understand the rationale, as I've worked at cleaning up many such lists. They are highly attractive targets for vandals and the like. It is a cost-benefit analysis, and the cost is higher here than in many other places. Plus, the benefit is much lesser, and verifiability is a core policy of course.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The original reason given , that there were mostly red-links, was a reason for editing, not deletion, and the article has now been edited to contain only those people about whom we an article. Categories and lists are complementary, and there is no reason not to have both. Lists have the particular advantage of providing some information about the material in which they appear, thus facilitating identification and browsing. Browsing is a key function of an encyclopedia. As a general rule, for topics like this, if there is a category, there should be a list. The list can, and should have some additional context added. But if we don't keep articles while they are being developed, there will be nothing left to develop. there is no deadline for improvements. DGG ( talk ) 05:57, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:N and WP:V: non-notable game with no references based on reliable, third-party published sources. There are sources in the article, but they don't suit our purposes. We've got (1) a press release about the publisher, (2) a tournament put on by the publisher, (3) a press release about a tournament merely mentioning the game, (4) an article about the sequel, which appears to be in beta testing, (5) an amateur review on a directory site, and (6) another amateur review on a directory site. Note that OnRPG appears to be affiliated with MMO Hut, which is specifically considered unreliable on the WikiProject Video games guide to sources.

Keep - Notable game in Korea means reliable sources are in Korean. Search for the Korean name on Google News, and you'll get loads of hits.[27] Most of the recent ones are about the sequel, but you can search through the archives and find plenty of stuff like this from The Chosun Ilbo which suggests that it is domestically popular.[28][29] - hahnchen 20:09, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking through those links, I'm still not finding anything. There are numerous press releases and a lot of financial information about the developer/publisher—including all three of your references—but no substantial information about the game itself published in reliable sources. The most we could do with this information is have an article with the text "Special Force appears to be a game popular in South Korea". Wyatt Riot (talk) 03:56, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then do that. When a game is so important that its distribution rights are discussed in the financial press, it has to be fairly notable. When the source states that Special Force has generated 3.5billion ₩ (~US$3M) in 2008(?), it's notable. Maybe that's another sentence you can add on to your proposed stub, it's better than your suggestion of deleting and then salting this. - hahnch e n 12:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right now we have the situation where we are asking for, say, two specific examples of independent reliable sources, and responses are 'when I google it I can find tons of them!'. Though I appreciate the preliminary work, it would be nice if someone could help the non-koreans out.

Delete. I spoke too soon. Other than one sole source, there's nothing here that shows that this lost film is ultimately notable enough for its own entry. It might potentially be worth a redirect to Clara Bow since she's the #1 thing that came up in searches about this film, but I'm not really sure that people would be specifically searching for this film and if they are, that they're searching in relation to Miss Bow. I don't exactly think it'd be right to redirect just to her when there are several people involved, such as Frank O’Connor.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

!vote changed to Keep, see below.Redirect to List of lost films. Between Google News archives and Google Books the existence of the film can be verified. I don't think any of the sources will enable the film to satisfy WP:N or WP:NF so that it can stand on its own but I would be very happy to change my !vote to keep should someone be able to do so. Otherwise, I think it's best that the film be added as an entry to List of lost films where a short description of it can be attached and where it is less likely to be removed over time. A concern I have with redirecting to Clara Bow is that the biographical article can easily be rewritten to remove any mention of this film. A reader who searches The Lawful Cheater and is directed to Clara Bow's article may not be served well if there is no information about the very film for which they searched. List of lost films was created specifically for films like these, whether or not they have their own articles, and I think redirecting to that list and creating an entry would serve this subject and a potential reader best.

Keep per improper deletion rationale that fails WP:Deletion policy. I am quite unhappy that this article was sent to AFD only 60 seconds after being created. Further, the deletion rationale is not supported by WP:DEL#REASON and appears to lack of consideration of WP:DEL#CONTENT / WP:ATD. Where there any improvement tags as suggested by WP:ATD? Did waiting a full 60 seconds allow any consideration toward the article author or WP:WIP? No. While others above decided it might be fine to redirect the title elsewhere, I believe it far better for Wikipedia and its readers to actually give them sourced content and context about the film to increase their understanding of the topic. Being "lost" does not mean we ignore that in 1925 this film received coverage before and after it was released,[31] nor that we ignore that it has made it into the enduring record... even if now considered a lost film. We do not expect nor demand that a film from the very beginnings of the modern film industry would have still have in-depth coverage 87 years later. Its enough for us that it has made it into the enduring record, and even while "lost" still receives analysis and comparison in later books. Here, we protect cinema history... not redirect it to where pertinant and sourcable information becomes lost. Will the article remian short? Likely. But that's perfectly fine, and is itself no reason to redirect something which has independent and sourcable notability. Major kudos to User:Tokyogirl79 for her begining to adress the addressable issues. Following her lead, I myself took it further.[32] More to do, certianly... but needing work is rarely a sound reason to delete. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per WP:NGEO: "Named geographic features are usually considered notable." I agree that the current article gives little context. There may be a good article to be written on the subject, though: Triunfo Pass is probably notable as the location of a controversial domestic satellite station that received significant news coverage [33][34][35][36] and maybe notable as a significant named location for hikers and naturalists, with lots of book references [37] including a 1959 UCLA publication called Geology of the Triunfo Pass Area, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California[38] (no preview available, unfortunately). --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:14, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep – AFD is not clean-up. The nomination doesn't contain a valid rationale for deletion, per criterion listed at WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator seems unsure about the topic's notability, rather than advancing notions why the topic isn't notable. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the topic is non-notable because there's no indication of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources per the general notability guideline. All we have are entries in lists of baby names, more akin to directory entries than to significant coverage. I have doubts about their reliability, too - especially since they claim the same word means "flood", "ruler" and "grace" (Google translates it as "flood", by the way).

Comment Hmm... would this be better if it was altered to be a disambiguation page to include the name meaning as well as a listing of notable persons with this as a first or last name as well as general things that include this name? I see about three articles that have this in their page title, so it could be usable as a name definition and disambiguation page. (Pages are Faizan R.

Additional. I also want to emphasize that already have pages similar to this under the names Christian (given name), Lou, Mariko (given name), and Farid, all of which seem to serve a very good purpose as a disambiguation page. First name pages already exist on Wikipedia and there is at least around 700 or so pages (and that's just in the names I looked up above). They're already here and while I know that other stuff existing doesn't mean that this should exist, it shouldn't be an automatic delete just because of the potential of abuse.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

~~Speedy Keep~~ - This name is very much common in Asian countries and it also satisfied the all Wikipedia policies this article required more research on it and need bit citation which will be improved time to time or day by day therefore I would recommend to Keep this article on Wikipedia as its very useful for people who want to keep this name for their new born babies and I believe people love to prefer Wikipedia instead of any other search engine or encyclopedia book, or XYZ other resource.--Faizanalivarya (talk) 22:37, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keept it why delete when there is no rationale behind it.--maxman 00:21, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep I don't think we should decide keep/delete on whether procedure is exactly followed --the policy for that is NOT BURO. Though there was no deletion rationale specified in the nomination, it's OK to bring things here of they seem to need discussion: the assumed reason is "notability seems dubious" I've been doing that from time to time since my first year here, when something comes up where I can't tell and want other opinions. We can still judge by whatever might be given in the discussion. Normally, I think we do have articles on personal names, which we assume are notable if there are any sources, and I think there are for this one. Though ref. 6 is a primary source, I think it is usable for the purpose. Arunsingh16's argument that there might be many such names is irrelevant--the policy that deals with this is NOT PAPER. DGG ( talk ) 06:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC) .[reply]

Comment - I might agree if there were any similarity between ref. 6 and the sentence it's used to support. And if it were a reliable source. As is, I don't think adding a random website to "source" a sentence suffices to make the subject meet the notability guidelines. Huon (talk) 13:12, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:N. Wikipedia is not a dictionary (of names or other words).

The result was delete. The "no crystalballing" argument is strongly rooted in policy.

Keep Scotland in Britain

Completing nomination for User:TBall84. The original rationale is reproduced below, to which I can only add that WP:CRYSTAL may be a valid rationale as well, given the speculative nature of the article ("Intend to work together...", "expected to", etc). There are sources indicated, but the article also references an expected announcement in December 2011. Other sources exist, for example this article from today, though it refers to one of the campaign's leaders rather than the campaign itself (and doesn't refer to this group by name, not a good sign). Note the related article Scottish independence referendum, 2014. Scottish politics aren't really my bag, though, so I can make no recommendation on the merits.

Keep - the rationale is highly illogical: "which does not exist and may never exist". In what way "may never exist"?? There is fervent activity going on at the moment to build up the 'No' campaign grouping, as reported in hundreds of broadsheet articles. There HAS to be some sort of 'No' campaign: it is pure common sense. Otherwise, who on earth is going to campaign for a 'No' vote? There were proper 'Yes' and 'No' campaigns for the 98 referendum, and of course there will be for this one too. The papers are absolutely full of it. Tip: Google News UK is your friend!--Mais oui!

It's clear that there will be a campaign - but whether it's this campaign was not clear from the article or the sources provided. When I cited WP:CRYSTAL, it was in more of the "article may be premature" sense as opposed to the "article's subject isn't gonna happen" sense. Indeed, what does not exist and may never exist seemed to fit well with that bit of the policy. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 19:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As for the nominator, there was no apparent conduct issue preventing them from nominating the article for deletion, nor did it appear that the nom was part of a pattern of vandalism or shenanigans. An editor's level of activity on the site doesn't diminish (or improve) the quality of the points raised - that's what the debate is for. I saw no obvious reason to reject the nomination out of hand, and so completed it on their behalf. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 19:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Scottish independence referendum, 2014 at the moment. This is a sufficiently noteworthy event to merit a mention, and the No campaign will undoubtedly be sufficiently notable to warrant a seperate article in due course, but we don't yet know whether this will be the offical no campaign. Should this become the official campaign, or it manages to attract sustained coverage anyway, the article can be split off again later. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:37, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I've found lots of WP:RS for express boats going NW from Sathorn. This route, however, is NE from Sathorn, and I've found very little other than a 2010 plan to expand. I wonder if there's a naming problem that's clouding this. Haus^Talk 17:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep Should I have been notified of this nomination? I don't understand this nomination - people say "non notable", but if you click on the "books" and "scholar" links supplied with the nomination, there are so many things listed that I only had time to include a few of them in the article. Lavery is a well known writer, academic, and editor of analysis of popular culture. PermanentVacay (talk) 06:33, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I get 5 books and 8 journal articles from scholar but I am not sure all are academic outputs. Per WP:ACADEMIC I am not sure this is enough for criterion 1. Cannot see evidence other criteria apply? Am I wrong? Babakathy (talk) 07:01, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you look at his CV here [39]? There is an awards section at the bottom. It also lists that he has chaired several departments. Between these and all others, I believe he fits many points under WP:ACADEMIC. PermanentVacay (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from his CV (which is not an independent source), I see no evidence that he has chaired a department, which does not meet any of the requirements of WP:PROF anyway. The list of awards is long, but contains trivial things (being an external reviewer is nothing out of the ordinary), minor awards (a small travel grant to go to Heidelberg...), and nominations (but apparently not won). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:03, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found a newsletter from Brunel that mentioned him as the chair of their department. I guess they don't keep historic chairs on their website. I just googled burnel.co.uk and david lavery, fyi - it was on the first page... PermanentVacay (talk) 09:22, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then you should use that as a source, not his CV, which should not be used as a reference at all. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Whether a scholar has published a few or a lot of papers/books has absolutely no bearing on notability. What is important is whether those writings have had any impact, which we generally measure here by numbers of citations. As I have no time to look into this in detail right now, I'm abstaining from !voting, but I would like to note that the article currently has no evidence whatsoever of notability. All references are to works of Lavery, except reference 3, which is inappropriate (has nothing to do with Lavery) and reference 4, which is actually the only reference showing somebody has actually read his works. If it is to show notability, the article needs a lot of work. I just used Reflinks to format the references, but would like to note that links to GBooks are not really ideal. Oh, and yes, PermanentVacay, it would have been good form that you as article creator be notified of this AfD. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately this AfD is almost half over and I only just found out about it, and I don't know if I'll have time to add anything to the article by then. Hopefully someone more familiar with him than me will do so (I like to create articles for people that I'm doing research on who don't yet have them - this means I don't necessarily yet know all that much). PermanentVacay (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link to the CV, very helpful. Going through the criteria:

The criterion on awards (number 2) requires a national award or higher and that it should be "highly prestigious". Most of the awards are institutional rather than national or better, and some of them are publishing rather than academic awards. That leaves things like "Mr. Pointy Award for Buffy Studies Scholarship" which I doubt we could call a highly prestigious academic award.

Nothing in the CV for criteria 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8. (Chairing a dept is not enough for 6. 8 requires head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal: he has 3 where he is an editor of a journal rather than an issue, but 2 are very recent so not "well-established". That leaves Critical Studies in Television, where he is one of six editors (not head or chief). So I do not think so.)

Criterion 1 needs an analysis of citations.

Criterion 7 might work - how widely popular are his general audience books? His CV cites interviews - is he frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert? There are quite a few google news hits that are interviewing him.Babakathy (talk) 09:05, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, criterion 7 seems like a good easy way to show notability. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the article though. PermanentVacay (talk) 09:23, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you do some work on Google News to provide (many) references to a statement such as his work in television studies has led to him being widely recognised as an expert on genres such as XX YY ZZ. I think you'd be able to pick up quite alot. Babakathy (talk) 09:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (changed my mind): I believe this academic meets sub-criterio 7. Babakathy (talk) 09:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep clearly a notable author at least, and probably meets WP:PROF as well as an expert on several related genres of television. Worldcat shows that 15 of his books are each in over one hundred libraries; his book on X files is in 513. ^[1] Reviews need to be looked or, but the probability of finding them with such widespread library holdings is very high.

Any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources would establish notability. WP:RS outlines what a reliable source is, and WP:NOTE is our notability guideline - I suggeset you read both of them. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 19:00, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing me to those pages. Here I can mention some (I belive) reliable sources, mentioning geokrety service (unfortunatelly all are in Polish, but I hope somebody can confirm it)

The geokrety.org was a subject of a radio broadcast about geocaching in polish radio [Tok.FM - [tok.fm] - unfortunatelly the mp3 from that broadcast is no longer avaliable. Here is a [broadcast announcement].
Geokrety.org was mentioned as a one of the services for tracking items in geocaching in the one of the biggest polish newspapers - Rzeczpospolita. The e-version of the article is [avaliable]
Geokrety was mentioned in the local newspaper in Trójmiasto [internet version] (please note the article title).
One of the main polish web portal published an article about geocaching, including traveling items - geokrety onet.pl

Intonjutsu

Unsourced non notable martial arts related dictionary definition, which does not justify a self-standing article, as per WP:NOTDIC Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. Intonjutsu

Among valid references all I can find is this dictionary type definition "Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)". This is a term which may be used in an article about martial arts terms but as far as I can see there is nothing to justify developing a stand alone article out of it let alone enough material.

Samuraiantiqueworld (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Samuraiantiqueworld - there are plenty of hits, but I've yet to see anything that's more than a passing mention (and most of those are on some seriously dubious "modern ninja" websites that would fail WP:RS quicker than you can say, "learn the mystical arts of the Ninja!"...). Yunshui 雲‍水 14:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ninja. My searches in Japanese were inconclusive - I found a few mentions of the word, but no concrete connections with ninjutsu. However, the majority of Japanese books on Google Books are set to "no preview", so this by itself doesn't prove much. The term is not in the Daijirin Japanese monolingual dictionary (very large and comprehensive), although I found it in WWWJDIC (includes some vetted, user-contributed definitions). I did find a couple of English sources that mention it in passing, but none that goes into to any detail. If there is an article in here it would probably require some Japanese-language library research, and until someone puts in that effort I would consider this topic of questionable notability. There are enough results on the web that people could search for it though, so redirecting to a relevant article would probably be best. The most appropriate one that I found was Ninja. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 09:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to relevant section of Ornament (music). Schleifer as ornament is certainly notable; the New Grove dictionary, a highly reputable source, actually has a (short) separate article on this topic. But I think this information would be more useful in the context of other ornaments. Ditto for schleifer as dance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opus33 (talk • contribs)
Already merged to Schleifer (the part I wrote) and to Medieval dance (the part someone else wrote, and which SummerPhD and I felt didn't belong here). I would reduce the current article text to a redirect, but I'm not sure that would be called "blanking" or something like that. What's the rule on this? --Uncle Ed (talk) 06:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I wasn't aware of this article until yesterday. It didn't have a banner on it until then. Since the information is apparently genuine enough, we should have enough time to look at how it should be presented. --Klein zach 09:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
