No sources, could not verify using Google maps. Tal Brenev (talk) 22:08, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Interesting... it can also be found on the map under it's other names Pejivalle, Pejiballe, Pejivalle etc. User:cjgace(talk)22:23, 30 January 2014(UTC)
- I looked it up on google maps under "Pejivalle, Pejiballe, Pejivalle" and still could not find anything. Tal Brenev (talk) 22:26, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Try... https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Pejibaye,+Cartago,+Costa+Rica&hl=en&sll=9.816667,-83.7&sspn=0.036874,0.055189&oq=Pejibaye+&hnear=Pejibaye,+Cartago,+Costa+Rica&t=m&z=14 Sorry. It's my first wiki article and I'm a peace corps volunteer here trying to fulfill our goals of getting my town on the map so to speak. I'll be adding more content and links today and over the next few days. Thanks for your help. User:cjgace(talk)22:35, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

I just added a link to the coordinates for the town of Pejibaye at the top of the wiki article. It's listed as "Pejivalle" not "Pejibaye" on Google maps, but both spellings can be used in the search feature to show the same town of Pejibaye in Cartago, Costa Rica. The page is almost complete, so please remove the deletion notice as we have sources and we have added the coordinates. Thanks! User:cjgace(talk) 03:52, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Can we please get the deletion notice removed? User:cjgace(talk) 11:10, 9 February 2014

Poorly sourced fancruft; this is merely a "List of music videos with 100 million views on YouTube and the like". The fact that this is given out by a notable website does not matter in my opinion, it is a non-notable metric. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:05, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. I created the article following the outcome of a CFD for Category:Vevo Certified songs. There is a mention of the certification within the Vevo article. I agree that the list is merely WP:Fancruft with no real legitimate sourcing of artists/videos that receive this certification. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:29, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Violates WP:NOT#ADVERTISING and its stepchild, WP:SINGLEVENDOR. It's a sales measure from a single entity measuring only that entity's distribution, neglecting the broader market.

Non-notable CEO. The only sources I can find on this person are blurbs from associated organisations, which lack independence. He has published widely but google scholar reports nothing with many citations and worldcat reports no book held by more than a 1000 libraries worldwide. It's possible that there are non-English sources I'm failing to find. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

The intent (and value) of this article is grossly unclear. The bulk of the article seems to refer to a degree program of only one education institution (University of Cape Coast), but it is unclear if that is the only institution which offers this degree. If not, the information about the institution should be removed, leaving almost no content; if so, the information should be included in the existing article on the institution, not in a standalone (stub) article concerning the degree. Dwpaul Talk 21:53, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Further, the descriptive text in the lede ("Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery") is different than the page title ("Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Chiropractic"), making it even less clear what this article is about. Dwpaul Talk 22:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Lastly, the one reference for the page (to the above mentioned institution's web site), ostensibly to describe that school's program, is now a dead link. [Later] The correct link appears to be here, by name the program in the lede (not the one in the title).Dwpaul Talk 22:04, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, delete. I was just about to PROD this when you nominated. Tried to verify or find sources and found nothing. If it's about the degree mentioned in the title I don't think it exists anymore (if it ever did), if it's about the degree mentioned in the lede which Dwpaul found a source for it's already covered in University of Cape Coast which is noted as offering MBChB degrees. acb314 (talk) 23:38, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- But, alas, and to add to the confusion, I believe ChB is intended to refer to the Bachelor of Chiropractic component
, which is not in evidence at all on the school's Web site. So the page about the school seemingly requires some editing also (not only to remove the wikilink to this page if it is deleted). (The school page and this page were created by the same editor on the same day.) [Later] The Web site link above refers to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree using the short form (MB, Ch B), so it seems as if the B of Surgery is actually a degree in chiro?? What a mess. Dwpaul Talk 00:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- But, alas, and to add to the confusion, I believe ChB is intended to refer to the Bachelor of Chiropractic component

- Delete It's impossible to even tell what the name of this degree is - but fortunately it doesn't matter. It's not deserving of a freestanding article whatever it is. Props to the nominator for finding and nominating this mess. --MelanieN (talk) 15:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Fails WP:NACTOR. This person has only had a significant role in one notable TV show: Dinosaur Train.

As a leading authority in the field of franchise law, the article on attorney W. Michael Garner is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to its policies and guidelines. In addition to writing an authoritative three-volume legal treatise on franchise law, Garner has edited the American Bar Association's franchise law journal and franchise desk book. The Wikipedia article includes ISBN references and 20 links to reliable sources. Therefore, the article should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MNwriter55408 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Delete per lack of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:34, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. There are sources, but they don't establish the subject's notability. Court cases do not prove the notability of the attorneys arguing them. I could probably buy a spot a "best lawyers" list, and I'm not a lawyer. The closest we get to notability is "his writings" being cited in a U.S. Supreme Court case. That could go toward establishing the writings' notability, but not his. And I can't find any sources online that do establish notability. Lagrange613 04:20, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Please do not delete this article. As its author, I apologize for not including more sources. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I would appreciate any suggestions you may have for improving the article so it complies with Wikipedia's standards. I'm in the process of finding reliable third-party sources for W. Michael Garner's most important cases. As soon as I have the citations, I will add them to the article. In the meantime, I can assure you that it is not possible to buy a spot in the "Best Lawyers in America," the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MNwriter55408 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Fine, Best Lawyers in America seems to have higher standards than other lists I've seen. But just because they claim to be "the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession" doesn't make it so. It seems comparable to Who's Who. Certainly not all or even most of its 50,000+ lawyers are notable. Lagrange613 17:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

In order to satisfy Wikipedia standards regarding citations to reliable third-party sources, I added links to court decisions that have cited W. Michael Garner's writings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MNwriter55408 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Keep. In addition to adding links to numerous court decisions that have cited W. Michael Garner's writings, I have added links to key court decisions throughout the attorney's career. The article now includes reliable sources to support W. Michael Garner's standing as a leading authority in the field of franchise law. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MNwriter55408 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Court decisions/records are unacceptable sources per WP:BLPPRIMARY. - The Bushranger One ping only 14:01, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Court documents are primary sources when the topic of the article is at issue in the case before the court. Here, court orders cite Garner's law journal articles to support points about cases that don't involve Garner. That makes them secondary sources; the journal articles are primary. But I still don't think it's enough to prove notability. Maybe if the cases were higher-impact, or if the orders' reasoning really turned on something Garner had written, but they aren't and they don't. If a few minor references to your journal articles established notability, WP:PROF would look very different. Lagrange613 16:52, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. None of the numerous citations on the page meet the requirements of WP:BIO, which requires person be subject of secondary sources (not quoted or something along those lines). Article sounds like WP:PROMO and likely some sort of WP:NOTADVERTISING. Also, as MNWriter is a WP:SPA that has written this article almost entirely by him/herself, there is a WP:COI in voting here. The additional citations act only as a WP:MASK. mikeman67 (talk) 01:22, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This seems entirely outside the project's scope. There do not seem to be that many articles on this project concerning subjects similar to this and it seems that very little of the people in this list have articles of their own. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:28, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- To be honest, many of these pages do not seem like they're proper for Wikipedia, considering WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Unless the officer was notable, or the events regarding the death notable, then it doesn't seem like the list has its use on Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep An article well sourced with a list of notable facts.User:Lucifero4
- I don't see a list of every police officer in Singapore who died on duty is "a list of notable facts". It's a list of names of people who don't have their own articles.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:43, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Usually the death of a policeman received large coverage in the news.User:Lucifero4
- Keep. Police killings are extremely likely to be notable events, whether or not the individual victims are otherwise notable. Lists like this one are encyclopedic and appropriate. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - meets WP:N and WP:V. After reading WP:NOTMEMORIAL, I do not see how it is even relevant here. Per WP:CSC, the individual members of a list do not have to be notable. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:LISTN. That none of the entries on the list are independently notable is explicitly *not* a criterion for list deletion. It's clear that "Police officers killed in the line of duty" is a notable subject, and just as clear that "Police officers from city X killed in the line of duty" is notable. The criterion is that the entries on the list must be discussed by RS as a group. That's clearly the case here. There are a bunch of these articles, and every last one of them satisfies LISTN.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- I do not see how "police officers killed in the line of duty" is a notable subject thereby allowing people to produce lists covering every single law enforcement agency around the world and their brethren who died on duty.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:08, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- I believe that it is according to LISTN, which notes that
One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.
. That this is the case for "police officers killed in the line of duty" is not hard to see:- Samuel Walker Professor of Criminal Justice University of Nebraska at Omaha (11 April 1993). Taming the System : The Control of Discretion in Criminal Justice, 1950-1990: The Control of Discretion in Criminal Justice, 1950-1990. Oxford University Press, USA. pp. 32–. ISBN 978-0-19-536015-8.

- There are many more such sources, and in JSTOR too, which I'm not bothering to link to. It seems to me to be a LISTN slam-dunk.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:28, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- LISTN also says the event should be notable. Every single Singaporean cop's death on the job does not seem notable. It does get covered by the local press, as do many events, but these are people only notable for one thing it seems, and that is their death.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:11, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- No it doesn't, it says exactly the opposite:
Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles.
The individual items do not in fact need to be notable. This is a crucial element of LISTN.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 21:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)- But how is the group or set notable?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:42, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Because
it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources
, as stated above and demonstrated by three of the multitude of sources available.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 21:53, 31 January 2014 (UTC)- But none of those are about Singapore. And none of them are about being killed in the line of duty. And the fact that every death gets reported by the press does not count.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:05, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well, you see, you didn't ask me about Singapore at first. You said
I do not see how "police officers killed in the line of duty" is a notable subject
and I produced sources to show that it was. Now if we're just talking about ones in Singapore, we are talking about "Lists of X of Y", where X="police officers killed in the line of duty" and Y="Singapore." WP:LISTN saysThere is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists
. However, I will say that "policemen killed in the line of duty in Los Angeles," (which you did not nominate for deletion) satisfies LISTN all by itself. Singapore, being as notable a place as Los Angeles, seems to me to have as good a claim to satifying LISTN. And the fact that none of the sources are about police being killed in the line of duty is irrelevant. What's relevant is that the sources treat "police killed in the line of duty" as a group or set, and they're RS, so that makes the grouping notable.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:19, 31 January 2014 (UTC)- That's a real stretch. And these few AFDs are me testing the waters because I really do not see how these lists meet the notability requirements, and simply saying "oh it's a list of two things" means that there's no rule so it's good to go is just complete bullshit.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 00:01, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

- No it doesn't, it says exactly the opposite:
- LISTN also says the event should be notable. Every single Singaporean cop's death on the job does not seem notable. It does get covered by the local press, as do many events, but these are people only notable for one thing it seems, and that is their death.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:11, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- I don't think I've ever seen a page that essentially just consisted of a See also section. I wish, in the spirit of WP:TWODABS, we could just pick one to redirect this to. Of two, Adam Bandt seems the better choice; "Brandt" is a common enough surname, whereas I don't think I've ever seen "Bandt" before. At that point, a hatnote to Adam Brand almost looks silly, though.
- I really wish there were just a notable Adam Brandt we could write about. This Stanford professor is somewhat promising but may not meet WP:ACADEMIC. There's a college football player who could work if he goes pro, but that's a couple years away at best. And there's a British linguist, but he's less likely to meet ACADEMIC than the American. I'm tempted to just add a line to the effect of "Adam Brandt, a defensive end for the Southern Illinois Salukis football team, but without a mention of him there, that doesn't seem right either. --BDD (talk) 18:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

This AfD is based on a discussion copied from the talk page that started after a PROD of the article by me. Once there was a serious objection by an editor who neither removed the PROD himself nor convinced me of the notability, AfD seemed like the best good-faith option.
PROD rationale:
- Non notable research group. No evidence of awards or in depth coverage in independent reliable sources.
Talk page discussion:
- This article contains valid encyclopedic content describing scientific research programs of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. UAF isn't notable merely because it has "University" in its name. UAF has fallen behind UAA in enrollment in recent decades. What has kept UAF "on the radar" within Alaska has been its emphasis on scientific research, particularly in the fields of astrophysics, biological sciences and oceanography. IAB and the Geophysical Institute have been at the forefront of that research for most of the university's existence. Additionally, included amongst biological research but not mentioned in the article is the Large Animal Research Station, whose viewing area along Yankovich Road is a major Fairbanks-area tourist attraction. This falls within one of the pillars of UAF's mission statement, namely public service.
- In summary, I reiterate that this is valid encyclopedic content relating to a notable entity. The real issue here is whether it belongs in its own article or somewhere else in the encyclopedia. There has been an ongoing problem of haphazard content forking in coverage of the University of Alaska. It should be obvious why, as there are far fewer warm bodies working on this sort of thing compared with, say, Disney or The Simpsons or South Park. I don't have time to fix everyone's messes for them. I barely have time for this, but the mad deletionist bent I've witnessed across Wikipedia lately resembles spiteful trashing of the contributions of certain editors (mostly long gone and therefore not in a position to defend their contributions) more than anything else.

You're proposing to diminish the encyclopedic value of coverage of the University of Alaska Fairbanks because you have a bug up your ass about the construction of this particular article. UAF isn't notable merely because it has "University" in its name. UAF is notable because it does things which makes it notable. Biological sciences research ranks right near the top of the things which UAF does which makes it notable. Is there a problem with understanding this? The notability guideline isn't going to read Wikipedia content and deduce that it lacks credibility. Real people out in the real world, however, are going to do just that, so it's necessary to keep them in mind, too. When coverage of the University of Alaska has devolved into a series of POV forks about its hockey teams and student governments, because people who obviously don't know any better and don't care to know any better have trashed the rest of the coverage in the quest of satisfying their deletionist hard-ons, don't come crying to me to fix it.

As outlined in greater detail above, the reality is that research conducted under IAB and other research in hard sciences ranks very high within the context of UAF's notability. That editors would rather work on expanding coverage of UAF's hockey team is no excuse to push coverage of UAF even further in that direction, which is exactly what will happen if you go about deleting content such as this.

- Try to find articles in reliable sources that discuss this person, rather than articles written by this person. Publishing an article in The New York Times does not make one notable. When The New York Times writes an article about you, that makes you notable. Book reviews of her work would also make her notable. Blogs and other other self-published sites don't count. Primary sources also don't count toward establishing notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:04, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- As per the nutshell of WP:N, notable topics are "those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time..." There are many ways to establish wp:notability. So when the editors of the New York Times select an author to publish, they are giving direct attention to that author. In my !vote I specified "acceptance" of the article as the element of wp:notability. The publication of the article generates further wp:notability when readers look at the name of the author.

- No, sorry, that's not how it works. Primary sources do not grant notability. See WP:42 for a quick and easy version. Sources must be independent. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- WP:42 seriously misrepresents our notability guidelines and has been subject of controversy for some time. If you look at its talk page you will discover that even its supporters admit that it should never be cited at AfD in any context. I suggest that you refer directly to WP:N. My reading of it is that GNG does not work in reverse and that a topic is not presumed to be non-notable only because it fails GNG. James500 (talk) 16:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Every single guideline, policy, and essay on Wikipedia has people who call it "controversial" and decry its use in deletion discussions – even WP:N, which some people have claimed is not a valid deletion rationale.

Comment She does meet the letter of WP:ACTOR: she starred in Summer School Teachers and Fly Me and is mentioned in some reviews of T.N.T. Jackson indicating her part was significant. But there's very little about her online. Based on the films she made, I'd expect her to be covered more now in books and websites on cult cinema than she would be in the 1970s when the films came out. So it's whether failure of WP:GNG overrides pass of WP:ACTOR. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

- Weak keep He meets WP:NACTOR through various roles in film and tv (from Brotherhood of Death and Kickboxer (film) to the play Julia which was widely reviewed in 2010-11). There's not much detailed content online, but his career goes back to the late 1970s, during which he's worked widely on film, TV, and stage, as well as being involved with the L.A. Rebellion movement, working for Catholic organisation CIMA, winning an NAACP acting award (not notable in itself but all part of the picture), so there may well be content on him offline. I removed some promotional language but it could do with further editing. As to whether he "deserves" an article, this is about applying policies not Lady Lotus's moral judgment. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment When I say he doesn't "deserve", I meant he doesn't really have any reason to have his own wikipedia page per notability. And as per WP:NACTORS it states they should have "significant roles in multiple notable films" I would beg to differ. Most of his roles are College Interviewer, Male Juror, Man #3, Junkie, Courtroom #7 Clerk, Well Dressed Client, Man, or Barber shop pimp to name a few. He played a minor role in Kickboxer (film), I don't know if I would consider that notable. He's more of an extra/character actor at best. LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:19, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

This article is a crass violation of WP:OR and WP:V. "Govware" is not used in practically any of the sources cited, nor is a definition given in the 1st source cited. The rest is a mishmash table of stuff that is better suited for individual prose articles rather than this WP:SYN. Most (but not all) of the contents from its table can be found in the NSA ANT catalog article, making this page mostly a WP:CFORK as well.

- Redirect and merge to Malware. Judging by the content in the article at the moment, this could be a {{R with possibilities}} but as for now, it is a potential wiktionary definition, and largely a content fork from the NSA Ant Catalog article mentioned in the nomination. Correct me if I am wrong, but it could be 90% malicious software, and 10% malicious hardware dongles and other intrusion techniques. I think Wikipedia could wait a year or two, perhaps less, to see if this concept stands on its own, or whether it makes a significant difference to our knowledge about malware that some of it is created or modified by government, hackers, crackers or corporations. I think with the massive resources some governments may have invested in the software, then if the leaks and cyberwars continue, it, or Government-sponsored computer intrusion (deliberate redlink) may soon have enough reliable sources to become a WP:LIST or a signpost article or more.
- While the concept will soon deserve an article, and the term is verifiable[6], these links to alternative uses make me think that Govware is not yet established enough as a word to host such an article:

- Actually it was a pretty crass WP:V violation. The Der Spiegel article about TAO/ANT does not ever mention "govware". In fact their entire site doesn't have even one mention of the term [7] The wiki article was changed by an IP (you?) to now link to a completely different reference in Linux Magazin [8], which does use the term in a context that may indeed equate it with Government malware ("Possible Govware Trojan"), although it's rather unclear what meaning it has given that "Trojan" was appended to it. But that's written by a German-name author, although publishing in English. It's possible that's a cultural thing. With my modicum of understanding of Swiss German this Swiss Law FAQ seems to make Govware synonymous with interception software. The paper you linked to ("In God We Trust All Others We Monitor") is also written by employees of a German company. The paper has pretty poor write-up and uses the term a couple of times first as "provable stealth government software (GovWare)" and then as "stealth GovWare Trojan". So it's not even providing a clear definition. I don't think this term is in widespread use with the "government malware" meaning in English (not by native speakers anyway) from what I've seen so far. I would not object making this page about the Swiss state Trojan stuff (as the 66 IP has began to do), assuming govware really conveys that meaning in [Swiss] German these days. It would probably make more sense to use a less ambiguous title for English readers though (Swiss federal trojan controversy or something like that). The US stuff TAO/ANT etc. can then be linked by "see also" without risking OR definitions or articles that become too nebulous in scope. I found an article in Techworld [9] about the 2006 Swiss MegaPanzer also called Bundestrojaner, although that title is currently redirecting (in part correctly given [10]) to a section about the 2011 German one... so this page is a bit of WP:CFORK again (only about the German one though, can't find in anything about the Swiss one in the English Wikipedia besides what was added to the lead of this article). At least Bundestrojaner needs a disambiguation between the Swiss and the German one, if not cover both of them. Someone not using his real name (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

- I found a better written article in English (still mostly about the German stuff though with Austria, Switzerland, and The Netherlands mentioned) here, which is a bit more clearly defining Govware as "government spyware" in the titl, though strangely the rest of the paper never uses the term again and only talks of trojan horses thereafter. So I wouldn't object to a redirect to spyware, where a def and overwiew section could be added based on that paper. The page should probably be turned into a disambiguation with the other meanings later. Someone not using his real name (talk) 04:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Although sources exist they are questionable as to their neutrality and I am not seeing notability here per WP:MOVIE.

- Undecided. Not certain if this is sufficiently notable for a standalone article. I suppose two lines could be added to a new subsection of University of Notre Dame#Campus: "All first-year students are not only guaranteed on-campus housing, but are required to reside on-campus for at least one semester. There are currently 29 residence halls: 15 men-only, 14 women-only." That could then link to this list, if it's kept. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, though consider move/rename to List of University of Notre Dame buildings (currently a redlink), more in parallel with other members of Category:Lists of university and college buildings in the United States. Some articles about separate possibly notable residence halls have been redirected to this list, losing material and references. See this Sorin Hall article version, just before being redirected on December 13, which may possibly support the notability of that hall on its own. (There was an AFD tag but it shows only a redlink, i don't see an AFD discussion). In Notre Dame University#Campus section of the university article, there's a photo captioned "Historic Washington Hall on the Main Quadrangle, popularly termed the God Quad", and there's a New Buildings subsection. I am sure that there are a number of individually notable NDU buildings, and having a list-article covering them all together instead of separate articles is a fine way to go. --doncram 20:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- P.S. There exists navigation template {{University of Notre Dame}} which links to a number of university structures having articles. A list-article of them all, with a section on residence halls, would be fine. See guideline wp:CLT about how category, list, and navigation templates are complementary. --doncram 20:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

redirectto List of residence halls at the University of Notre Dame (as I did with several others a while back) - I can't find any independent sources either. The possible notability seems to hinge on the fact that it's the oldest building at Notre Dame (which is why I didn't redirect it with the others), but now that I do a search for it I don't think it's adequate.

- Keep It is a landmark of one of the most important uninversities in the US. It was the first building built and was built in 1842. Having almost 200 years, it is an historical building and also a seminary, so an institution by its own and not only part of the UNivesrity of Notre DameEccekevin (talk) 18:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. As the first and oldest building, I expect there exists additional documentation off-line about this. It seems individually notable. It was not only a dormitory, it was the original building of the university, with other functions. Now it is a seminary and I don't think that is the same as a "dormitory". I do think this should continue to be linked separately from the navigation template of significant Notre Dame buildings, and not kludged into a list of the dorms only. --doncram 20:35, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - historically significant building and, as also a seminary, it has a role separate from the University. Sure it needs expansion and better sourcing but that, rather than deletion, is the way to go. The Whispering Wind (talk) 04:07, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
KeepI have found the documentation from 1973 that proves that Old College, together with many other building of Notre Dame, is on the National Register of Historic Places. https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/1c9d1/N/University_of_Notre_Dame_Campus_Main_and_South_Quadrangles_St._Joseph_CO_Nom.pdf It is building #1 on the list.

Article was recently tagged for notability. Since it has been around a while and has sources, I am taking it into AfD to decide the issue. If there is a quick consensus in favor of delete, oops, keep, I will withdraw the nomination and close early, but better than leaving a notability tag on the article indefinitely. I lean slightly to delete, but I won't press the issue if the consensus goes the other way. Safiel (talk) 21:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- Merge The larger issue is that we appear to have the manufacturer aggressively editing Wikipedia in an effort to promote this stuff per [15] I support either keep or merge to American ginseng Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Per the relevant notability guideline, WP:PRODUCT, particularly the line "Avoid creating multiple stubs about each individual product ... especially if there is no realistic hope of expansion." Moreover, since American ginseng exists, MOS:PHARM's (WP:Supplements lacks a MOS) section on layout indicates that, assuming this product is even notable enough for mention here, this simply be added to a subsection on a list of brands in that article. Except in very unusual circumstances, drug articles should always use the generic name for a substance and not its brand name (examples of unusual circumstances include:a sufficiently large history section to merits a separate summary-style article, no generic name for a brand with sufficient notability (notoriety), or the only available generic name for a very notable drug is stupidly long, like Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, Dextroamphetamine Saccharate, Amphetamine Sulfate and Amphetamine Aspartate. Among these examples, hydroxycut is probably the most comparable article for notability comparison, as its a dietary supplement with notoriety.Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 00:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep and watch. The article has a rough average of 100 clicks a day, people looking for information on this.

- Keep Merging with American ginseng does not make sense to me since most people looking for this article would not know to look under ginseng. There have been no edits since it came off protection in late December so there is no current issue with COI edits. If anything, the article is currently unbalanced to the negative side.

*Delete I've removed the "first source" mentioned above because it was Blogger-hosted content. Worse, it was merely repeating what the news sources said. Worse still, the news sources are merely repeating what each other say, almost akin to a press release (although one does say his IQ might be 150 whereas another says it might be 130). The family are seeking donations and that seems to be the impetus behind all this. If he really is a notable child prodigy then he'll do something notable over an extended period of time, not just as a one-day news effort. The article can always be recreated if that is shown at some point in the future. Having a Wikipedia article on a 5-year old one-hit wonder is a lot of pressure to put on a kid.

Now, the article is re-organised, less puffery and with due respects to User:Sitush, problems about WP:RS,WP:Promo are now attended. But it may not pass WP:NOTNEWS and even then I feel the topic/article merits a weak keep. And of course, it may put pressure on the boy, which pressure he already sustained with numerous TV shows aired in India, just to display his "memory power"! - Rayabhari (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

For further information see Anna Span Graemp (talk) 15:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is no evidence to suggest that UK Adult Film and Television Awards is 'internationally recognised award'. Moreover, you cannot claim that 'Hug a Hoodie' is iconic and 'of significant cultural importance in the UK' without producing reliable sources. Finnegas (talk) 20:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is no evidence to suggest that the UK Adult Film and Television Awards are not 'internationally recognised awards'. WP:PORNBIO 1. says "Has won a well-known and significant industry award." and deliberately does not specify any one or group of awards. However wikipedia has deemed the awards significant enough to maintain a dedicated page to them. The question of providing reliable sources is a matter for an article not a matter for a deletion discussion. I took the trouble to provide you with a suitable link to encourage you to read around your subject. Graemp (talk) 21:47, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. "Well-known and significant" has been well-established as a higher standard than Wikipedia notability. Just because an award meets the minimum WP standards for notability does not establish that it is well-known and significant -- indeed, the majority of Wikipedia subjects would fail the "well-known" test alone. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:35, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Just because the Award has an aricle does not automatically mean it is "well-known and significant industry award". For instance, the Eroticline Awards were deemed not to be "well-known and significant" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Renee Pornero in August 2013. Finnegas (talk) 00:32, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think it is important not to get side-tracked too much into other discussions, however, since you raised the issue of the Renee Pornero discussion, it should be addressed. You state that "the Eroticline Awards were deemed not to be well-known and significant" based upon the conclusion that Pornero was deleted. However, if one reads that discussion, the only person to specifically state that they believed the Eroticline Awards failed WP:PORNBIO was yourself and nowhere in the summation is this point directly referred to.Graemp (talk) 09:36, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

- The discussion ought to focus mainly around the UKAFTA status in 2007, the year when Carmel Moore won Best Female Actress. To assess the significance of the UKAFTAs you first need to assess the significance of those awards to the UK adult film industry. Wikipedia only carries information on two sets of awards for this period, the UKAFTAs and the Erotic Awards. The latter awards to me don't seem to qualify as pornographic industry awards as they seem to cover a far more broader area of interest. So I would conclude that the UKAFTAs seem to have been not just the most significant industry award in the UK but the only industry award in the UK. Having assessed the significance of the UKAFTAs to the UK porn industry, the only thing left is to assess if there was a bona fida UK porn industry in 2007. Pornography in Europe section on the UK sources a 2006 article on the UK porn industry that estimated its worth at about £1 billion, which seems to suggest that in 2007 the UK porn industry did indeed exist. So in conclusion, we know from a wikipedia article that the UK porn industry was a bona fide porn industry and also from wikipedia articles that the UKAFTAs were apparently its main if not its only set of industry specific awards. We also know that wikipedia has maintained a page specifically on these awards for over five years. We also know that Carmel Moore won it's most significant award in 2007. So Carmel Moore clearly Passes WP:PORNBIO#1 and arguably #2 for starring in an iconic feature as mentioned above. Graemp (talk) 09:40, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Subject in question here passes PORNBIO as she has "won a well-known" (UK Adult Film and Television Awards) "and significant" (Best Female Actress) "industry award." As is documented on the UKAFTA's Wikipedia page, those awards were well-known within Great Britian, and it's been well-established here at AfD in the past that Best Actress awards meet the "significant" award standard. I'm not intimately's familiar with the movie (Hug a Hoodie) that Ms. Moore won her award for, but the movie appears to have been related to a speech given by David Cameron, when he "famously urged the nation to 'hug a hoodie'."
- The old Renee Pornero AfD is irrelevant to this article here, and there was, in fact, no determination made at that AfD that "the Eroticline Awards were deemed not to be 'well-known and significant'". That AfD occurred before the PORNBIO standard was tightened late last year to remove award nominations entirely, and, quite frankly, I don't remember if Ms. Pornero even won any awards or was just nominated for a bunch of them. Again, not that it matters here, but the Erotic Awards are in fact, at least in part, a pornographic film award. Guy1890 (talk) 06:12, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
It needs better references if it's to avoid deletion.
- Internet Adult Film Database is not a reliable source as it's a user generated database, and fails for the same reasons as references to IMDb and other similar sites. The lack of editorial oversight is the major issue with this source.
- Carmel's own website isn't independent, nor does it contain sufficient information to really be considered a reliable source, indeed it is questionable whether it's really her official site at all, but the claim that she's a pornographic actress is unlikely to be particularly controversial so it's not really being used to reference something in a particularly problematic way
- Private YouTube videos are very rarely if ever considered reliable sources because they can be updated and changed by the original creator and as with all user created work, not subject to editorial oversight.
- Iran Politics Club is a 404 and looking at the home page, I wouldn't say it's a particularly reliable source either but I'm happy for others to correct me if they know more about it.
- British Girls Adult Film Database is arguably not a reliable source given it's yet another user generated film database not subject to editorial oversight, but there's certainly an argument it's more reliable given it's not wide open to every user to go ahead and edit.
- IMDb is never a reliable source - fine as an external link, not as a source for claims made within it, as yet again it's a user generated film and TV database not subject to editorial oversight. There's also a lot of circular referencing going on between WP and IMDb, claims made on Wikipedia end up on IMDb and the content on IMDb is used to verify the claim on Wikipedia.
I'm less certain on actual notability, without any proper references it's unfortunately an unsourced BLP and deletion is the only option, but I'd be surprised if there's not some good reliable sources out there, given the girl's background and history, I'm sure there's likely to be proper sources out there for someone to prove notability, if they want to do so. Nick (talk) 15:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Nick's points need to be addressed.
- Nick is wrong, IAFD is a reliable source as it is user initiated in conjunction with having editorial oversight.
- Nick is right, Carmel's website is clearly not an Independent website but as Nick says, this is not a problem.
- Nick talks generally without addressing the specific interview in question, so his points are irrelevant. Then again, as far as this discussion is concerned, that source is largely irrelevant.
- Nick is probably right on this count but the source is irrelevant in relation to this discussion.
- Nick is wrong, BGAFD is a reliable source as it is user initiated in conjunction with having editorial oversight.
- Nick may be right for all I know, but even if he is, this point is very minor to this discussion.
Nick seems to assume that because a particular source invites/encourages editorially controlled user involvement it will by definition be less reliable while I believe that it makes the source more reliable. It seems to me that all the articles in wikipedia on those involved in the porn industry rely on sourcing IAFD and where relevant BGAFD. I believe this is because they are widely acknowledged as reliable sources. The logic of Nick's arguement therefore is that virtually all wikipedias articles on pornography should be deleted. As they say, Good luck with that.Graemp (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- "IMDb is never a reliable source"...sure it is...sometimes...especially for filmographies, which is all that the IMDb reference in question here is being used for in the article in question. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Guy1890 (talk) 09:47, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. First, there is absolutely zero evidence that "Hug a Hoodie" is an "iconic", "blockbuster", or "groundbreaking release - or even a notable one. Simply lifting a well-known phrase for a title does not confer stature of any kind on a film, video, song, book, or even a toaster. The claim is ridiculous. Second, the UKAFTA is not a "well-known and significant" award. It was a short-lived effort - a for-profit award ceremony which achieved very limited notoriety through publicity stunts like nominating mainstream performers for porn awards and announcing invitations to high-profile celebrities who invariably declined or ignored them. Award recipients are documented mainly, and rather badly, by message board posts at a user generated database site, and as one director involved with an award-garnering project commented recently, the event seemed "amateurish and desperate" and "if it wasn't for Wikipedia, there would be no proof that it ever even happened."[39] The awards also had a reputation for giving awards to films/videos that had not yet been released [40][41] -- and, in some cases, would never be released -- try to find any reliable evidence that the film for which one Jamie Brooks "won" her award actually existed. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Award recipients are documented mainly, and rather badly, by message board posts at a user generated database site"...not on the UKAFTA Wikipedia page they are not. "The awards also had a reputation for giving awards to films/videos that had not yet been released"...so we're going to use "evidence" (forum postings) here at AfD that one would never even think of using in an actual article as a citation to try & prove something? Please, the "blokely.com" posting mostly reads like a disappointed porn producer's sour grapes. Guy1890 (talk) 09:47, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- The fact that the UKAFTAs only ran for three years I believe is irrelevant to their status. Things evolve and essentially the UKAFTAs evolved into the SHAFTAs. I don't think it helps to delve too much into what goes on behind the scenes at awards events as I'm sure there have been plenty of criticisms made against other porn industry awards and even mainstream awards. That said, Hullaballoo Wolfowitz tries to undermine the UKAFTAs by saying they were "announcing invitations to high-profile celebrities who invariably declined" while ignoring information in his own source which reveals, in the case of Brad Pitt, when they do. I think that comments made on personal blogs and open forums lack credibility when gathering evidence and this includes all those given in evidence by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz such as comments from one individual who was disappointed not to recieve an award. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz is happy to quote from a blog that "if it wasn't for Wikipedia, there would be no proof that it ever even happened." yet if we examine the article which is the subject of this discussion, the evidence actually comes from a reputable source, the British Girls Adult Film Database, which is directly linked in the article. So on this point Hullaballoo Wolfowitz and his source are indisputably wrong. Graemp (talk) 10:11, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete I agree with Nick and Hullalloo Wolfowitz, no evidence of her meeting WP:GNG or the new criteria of WP:PORNBIO. The "major" award mentioned, UKAFTA doesn't seem of great significance. Secret account 01:38, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Clearly the central issue to this discussion is interpreting PORNBIO#1 "well-known and significant". A number of users including Secret have stated that they believe the UKAFTAs should not be regarded as "well-known and significant" whilst not presenting any information to back up their conclusion. Only one user who reached this conclusion has given any sort of assessment of the UKAFTAs but none of the points he/she made actually addressed the issue of "well-known and significant" apart from one point that was immediately dis-proved by two other users. On the other hand, I provided an assessment of how the UKAFTAs should be regarded as "well-known and significant" yet none of those who disagree have even tried to counter that assessment. Graemp (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Utter rubbish. Your argument is mostly that the award meets the "well-known and significant" standard simply because it is (en)Wikipedia-notable. That's invalid on its face. And, in this specific context, it was rejected by consensus and removed from PORNBIO several years ago, in conjunction with a similar tightening of ANYBIO. As to the nonsense you posted about Brad Pitt attending one of their award ceremonies, the source you allude to actually says "So anyone who tells you that Snoop Dog, Brad Pitt and Frank from Shameless blessed the UK porn industry with their awesome presence at the UKAFTAs in 2007 is either very gullible or just lying".[42]
- "And, in this specific context, it was rejected by consensus and removed from PORNBIO several years ago"...where's the evidence for that? During the recent discussions around tightening the PORNBIO standard, it was never mentioned at all that a "well-known" adult "industry award" had to rise to the standard that you are implying here. The fact remains that the UKAFTA's were well-known awards within Great Britian, period. Guy1890 (talk) 06:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Wrong Anon - my argument above sourced Pornography in Europe and its sources which are helpful for anyone with an open mind. As regards Brad Pitt, the nonsense is not my nonsense but that of Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, who sourced it. The source you quote is contradictory because it also says "in 2007 .... Brad Pitt was more interested in pulling porn stars" which helps make the whole source unreliable in my view. Graemp (talk) 10:56, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Don't alter quoted material deceptively, Graemp. The cited source says that the UKAFTA organizers hired six celebrity look-a-likes to hang around the event and that "Brad Pitt" was more interested in pulling porn stars than actually behaving like Brad Pitt, plain as day referring to the hired lookalike's behavior at the event rather than the absent actor's.

- This commenter either doesn't know of WP:PORNBIO#1 or doesn't think that a 2007 sole industry specific award for a £1 billion industry should count. (see Pornography in Europe mentioned above.) The AfD stats above include a total of 5 users who have voted delete, including the aforementioned Johnpacklambert. Three of these, Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, Jeffrd10 and Finnegas have a track record of voting to delete any article in this category seemingly regardless of the merits of a specific case. Only one of these five Hullaballoo Wolfowitz has attempted to question the status of the UKAFTAs and only by drawing on a source of dubious authority. It seems unlikely that any form of consensus will be reached in this discussion about the UKAFTAs, when you consider the track record of Hullaballoo Wolfowitz and Finnegas. However, no one has disputed the fact that in 2007, they were the only UK awards and that the industry in the UK generated £1 billion out of a worldwide total of £20 billion.

Why my regret? Well, consider this nugget (from an article that can't decide if its subject is a "form" or a "style" of photography): The photos can be black and white, color, any size or shape with any lens, so long as a coslayer [sic] is the main subject. -- Hoary (talk) 01:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- Obvious keep. No valid rationale for deletion. The subject passes WP:PORNBIO#1 per the sourced Venus Award win (as minimum). She passes WP:PORNBIO#4 as she has an established mainstream career (a main role in Danielle Arbid's A Lost Man, a supporting role in Olivier Marchal's MR 73, the TF1 show La Méthode Cauet, guest star in an episode of Métal Hurlant Chronicles, spokesmodel of FHM among other things). She also easily passes WP:GNG per multiple French-language sources (see [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49] among others).

- Weak keep. It has reasonably solid sources, and is an earthquake of a magnitude unusual for the region (a claim that's also sourced), which seems enough for at least a short verifiable article.

Self-published author with no RS. Note that page was previously nominated and decision was KEEP. This decision appears to have been hastily reached and was based on the author's books appearing in a wide variety of search results. Some further information: (1) a check on WorldCat shows that all five of the author's books were published by "CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform," a vanity publishing company that sells-in directly to AbeBooks, Amazon, etc., creating - as a result - the appearance of wide-ranging results that aren't accurately reflective of distribution or popularity, [the publisher's identity appears to have been overlooked by the original AfD commenters] (2) there are NO (zero) RS (or even non-RS sources) for this entry and a 3 year old unresolved notability tag, (3) subject of this bio has contributed heavily to this entry himself and has stated here that the one external link on the page is to a low-traffic movie review website he manages, further demonstrating the vanity nature of this article (in that discussion he also, amusingly, accuses Wikipedia of taking bribes from RottenTomatoes which is worth a read in and of itself - he is also cautioned not to link to his YouTube videos in this article, however, links to his YouTube videos have subsequently been inserted by single-purpose [possibly sock] accounts) BlueSalix (talk) 12:28, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- Weak delete He wrote one book that received marginal attention, Twilight of the Clockwork God. It was reviewed in the American Library Association periodical Booklist[52], in Publishers Weekly[53] and Library Journal[54]. However, these are summary (or trade) reviews and the spirit of WP:AUTHOR #3 (and its corollary WP:NBOOK #1) is that we need at least some reviews of the longer opinion type, or academic reviews (see 3 types of book reviews). It also doesn't help that Twilight was his first book and apparently no one saw fit to review anything beyond. I did find a couple unreliable source reviews but they are FRINGE type. I didn't do a lot of searching for general GNG sourcing so if someone can find enough there in combo with the above three reviews I might change position thus the "weak". -- GreenC 16:50, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- Also, while I do kind of hold a similar opinion about trade reviews, so far there has not yet been a consensus on whether or not to discount all trade reviews. Not all trades and short reviews are created equal, which I would imagine is why there has never been a really clear consensus. After all, Horn Book Guide would be considered a trade review technically but it's one of the most respected ones out there. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 14:03, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep According to Google Scholar, Twilight of the Clockwork God has been cited by eight books,[55] Dead Celebrities, Living Icons by four,[56] The new media invasion by two (but they are in German?).[57] Celluloid Heroes and Mechanical Dragons has been referred to by at least one[58]. Joseph Campbell referred to Ebert in the acknowlegements of The Mythic Dimension: Selected Essays 1959-1987, calling him "an essential collaborator".[59] Ebert's Celluloid Heroes & Mechanical Dragons has a foreword by NYTBR-reviewed author William Irwin Thompson. Thompson has referred to Ebert's website in an online article.[60] That combined with the trade and other reviews is enough sourcing to write a short well-sourced article, which would of course be quite different from the article's current state. — goethean 18:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- In looking at these citations (just a random sample, I didn't look at all of them) it appears many were, themselves, self-published books or - in a few cases - dissertations (in those cases the references were singular, fleeting and tertiary and from schools that aren't exactly jostling for the Ivies, e.g. TSU-San Marcos). I suppose those might establish notability in the lowest of interpretations as to what constitutes notability; maybe a kind-of "everyone is famous for something" way of looking at things. For now, however, I maintain my Delete support. BlueSalix (talk) 19:05, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
* Keep - a tough call this one but there definitely is a prime face case for the author reaching the basic threshold for author notability as worthy of notice, even though he is only self published. Hard to say if his singular notable title is notable enough but I'll give the article the benefit of the doubt at this stage, especially considering there has been plenty of debate surrounding it.

An article about a software company that obliquely hides what it actually does. The article has sources, but they seem to be all in the advertising / press release vein. I did find a discussion forum link here which reveals that the company's owner was struggling to understand the terms unique selling point and SQL injection in 2005, which suggest the rest of the article is probably puffed up a bit.

This appears to be a run-around of a deleted article, List of low-radiation smartphones, which was deleted via AfD.

- Keep per the discussions at the old AfD, the closed CfD, and the currently ongoing RfD. The issues of original research identified in those discussions was satisfactorily dealt with - the information presented here is directly attributable to independent sources (SAR tests submitted to the FCC), we're not applying any synthesized analysis to it (like whether the phone is supported by a free OS, which is not relevant), and hasn't been filtered through any criteria ("low-radiation") that we invented. Ivanvector (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm confused by your keep !vote here given that you stated in the prior AFD that "SAR tests...are meaningless for comparing one device to another." Which would seem to attack the very concept of this comparison list, but maybe I'm not understanding what you meant there. postdlf (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I was specifically referring to the criteria used to define that list. At the time, the list only included "low-radiation" phones, but that definition isn't defined anywhere (it was invented on that page). Implying that one phone is better or safer than another phone based on SAR measurement is incorrect because the actual radiation absorbed varies wildly depending on the operation of the phone and the operator. The FCC uses SAR tests to certify devices for sale but doesn't do any further analysis; the "low-radiation" list was synthesizing it. There was also wording that suggested a skewed POV favouring a certain Android OS, which I objected to. See what that list looked like. I think we've cleaned all of that up. We did start to talk about what the proper name of this list should be, but the editor who has done most of the work has never participated in any of these discussions despite being invited, so the talk faded out without consensus to do anything. As far as process, the list originated on the SAR page and was moved out, then was built out with synthesized info, then was deleted, so it was logical to recreate the original list within the SAR article. The problems were addressed early when the list was recreated and what we have now is substantially improved over the list that was deleted. Ivanvector (talk) 21:43, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- You're right, the format of this list is basically the same as the deleted one (going by memory). The difference is that this list is neutral and balanced; the old one wasn't, by virtue of only including phones from a certain OS and that met an invented criteria.

- Delete. Indeed, the table itself is almost identical, but most of the prose has been deleted. So now it's a table assembled with FCC data and supplemented with mobile device specs. If a reputable secondary source discusses or explains this data for laypeople, then that is something that can be summarized and cited in Mobile phone radiation and health. What you have is a start at something of potential interest and importance to consumers, but it is too technical and lacks any explication, let alone an executive summary. The trouble is, Wikipedia is not the place for publishing this data, and you're just straitjacketing yourself by trying to sanitize it to meet inclusion criteria. Those criteria notwithstanding, Wikipedia is not even the most effective venue for doing what you're trying to do. If you had evidence that a meteor was going to make a 500-megaton impact on Earth, would you publish to Wikipedia? —Ringbang (talk) 02:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

- There are sources describing the radiation from X-ray machines as being significant, but a table of comparison of different X-ray machine radiation levels would still not be notable enough for its own article. That is because, per WP:CSC, every entry in a list has to be notable enough for its own article, and the specific absorption rates of devices are not notable enough for their own articles, thus a list of specific absorption rates does not adhere to notability guidelines.AioftheStorm (talk) 22:55, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - a single sentence, with no obvious means of being able to expand it via better sources, means at best I can say she doesn't deserve an article now. As for "The Hollywood Reporter is a nationally reliable third-party source", it looks to be as reliable as The Sun from my point of view ie: where accurate neutral reporting of facts takes very much a back seat to gossip and sensationalism. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Don't Delete The article has been updated and, as far as I can see, a one-sentence biography is known to be a stub. The desire to delete this article seems to stem from dislike of the person itself; biased. The Hollywood Reporter felt her to be important enough to mention, the writer of the article thereof from the reliable source, so sensationalism is not much of an argument when the fact remains that it's a notable source. One notable source is all it takes to be notable, even if that notability is very small, the sources are what Wikipedia deems as reliable. People keep nitpicking at every detail possible here, but it's a can of worms just being opened. One source, a stub article, request for external notability; done. There's no point I can see in wanting this deleted; simply mark up the notability citation, keep as a stub, and if there's no further improvement in this article over time it may then be appropriately requested for deletion. As of now this is simply biased against this person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.19.173 (talk) 21:29, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep "Not notable because there are too many published articles about it" isn't a convincing rationale.
- This is indeed a crap article that fails to explain the significance of the topic. Probably as a direct result of Wikipedia's dislike of SemWeb topics and regular deletion of them. It doesn't matter to SemWeb people that this is a crap article, because they already know what reasoners are and they no longer give a damn about WP's foibles. However it's a failing of WP, and WP is failing its readership, to refuse to cover this topic. Perhaps WP would do rather better if it stopped trying to delete articles on quality grounds and instead made some effort to either fix them, or at least to stop alienating the people who could do so. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:34, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think that you are misinterpreting my reason for suggesting deletion. A list of software and external links to its developers, forums, company websites, etc., is not the same as "published articles" about the topic.

Maybe textbooks, computer magazines, professional journals? The external links would still have to be deleted, but some of the software items appear to have Wikipedia articles and could be moved to a "See also" section if there was an article to go with it. You are right, of course, that experts in the field do not need this article.

The lead needs to be rewritten according to reliable sources. But a GScholar search shows 524 hits for "semantic reasoner" and 4,590 hits for "semantic reasoning"; this seems like a highly notable concept.

- For the purposes of cleanup of the link spam, I treated this as a list-based article, and per MOS:LIST and WP:CLN, these lists have entries that are supposed to be notable--either they link to a WP article (with the presumption of notability implied by the article) or they are sourced to independent reliable sources.

- "Kvetching"? "Pitch in and help"? Sure, because it's not as if I ever create any content, is it. WTF though would I ever work on SemWeb stuff, when key parts of it are up for blanket deletion if there's any question of article quality (which is no part of our conditions for deletion). A "defensible kernel of an article that can withstand the slings and arrows of AfD" is utter crap and totally against what WP should do, and used to do, per WP:IMPERFECT. We need an editing environment where editors are encouraged to contribute, and to do so gradually if that's what available to WP. What we have here is one that invites contributions from experts, then turns around and pisses all over them for no good reason.
- If a project is even thinking that this topic deserves outright deletion and ignoring it from that point onwards (and that's what an AfD nomination is), a project that prioritises rappers and pokemon over a core SemWeb topic like this, then that's simply a project of no interest to the editors who might otherwise fix it. I don't know why, but WP does this whenever SemWeb topics come up. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- You do create good content and I respect your contributions. I apologize for the kvetching comment. I agree that WP:IMPERFECT should be a guiding principle. But the reality at AfD is that "this article is horrible, let's blow it up per WP:TNT or WP:ESSAY or, etc." can be an effective strategy for deletion, even with a notable topic. For a worthy topic, IMO the best way to counter that complaint is to rewrite, or at least cut out the worst parts of the article. If you think I've cut out valuable parts of the article along with the promotional link spam, feel free to revert. --Mark viking (talk) 21:41, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Andy Dingley, I would like to reiterate that, as the nominator, I was in no way influenced by the fact that this article was about a "SemWeb topic". If articles like this were all being nominated by the same group of editors, it might be fair to think there was bias. If there is such a group I don't know about them and certainly would not agree with them. I didn't nominate the article because of its topic, but because of all the inappropriate content. It looks as though several editors are working on improving the article and it will likely be kept. If SemWeb articles are regularly being nominated for deletion, perhaps it's because those who write them are busily involved in their specialty and don't take the time to check on what type of information and sources should be in an encyclopedia article. I too have had articles deleted that were on topics I felt were important, so I don't go around frivolously nominating articles on topics I don't like. —Anne Delong (talk) 23:37, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- For the purposes of cleanup of the link spam, I treated this as a list-based article, and per MOS:LIST and WP:CLN, these lists have entries that are supposed to be notable--either they link to a WP article (with the presumption of notability implied by the article) or they are sourced to independent reliable sources. There are other ways such lists can be justified as notable; for instance WP:LISTN suggests that if a list as a group is considered notable, that could be used too.

- WP:TNT delete per WP:OR. Mostly unsourced article making weird claims and it's unclear why many of the inference engines it lists qualify for this category. There are only handful of examples that would properly qualify for this topic [61] (but they are not given in this wiki article!) and they are all not-wiki-notable individually (Pellet, OWLIM, FaCT++, RacerPro), and all such proper examples are OWL-related, so they can be covered in the OWL article well enough. Another book covering the same stuff [62] calls this type of software (more appropriately) ontology reasoner. Perhaps redirecting this page to Web Ontology Language (OWL) is the best solution per WP:BLAR. If anyone find useful material in the page's history, it can be merged there later.

- If you prepend "In the field of the semantic web," (which is implicit in a book chapter about... duh... the semantic web, then the def is not absurdly broad anymore, but Wikipedia (as a whole) isn't a book about the semantic web, some context is needed before one defines "reasoner" in such terms (or equates facts with axioms).

- Yes, the article has changed considerably. The version that I nominated had many external links in the body of the article, unsourced original research, and almost no sources for verification of the information ([63]). However, according to Wikipedia:External links, external links should only be in the "external links" section, not in paragraphs or bulleted sections in the main article, which should have wikilinks and citations instead. It's not just that some of the links were to (apparently) non-notable web pages, but that they were there at all. I too would rather see an article improved rather than deleted, but how do I explain to new users that they have to remove the external links in their articles if the experienced users don't have to do the same? If every single link was to a world famous "Semantic reasoner", they should all be internal links. Looking at the article now, it seems to me that some of the items that are currently in the "External links" section are actually references, and should be moved to that section, whereas the links next to the software items in the article should be either made into citations if they are links to published articles, or moved to the external links section if they lead to websites created by the software's developers. —Anne Delong (talk) 03:48, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I nominated this at AfD back in July, saying "Regional advertising agency. No apparent importance". It was defended by the article creator as "One of the larger agencies in the Twin Cities market with clients across the country and internationally. Also the same size as Martin Williams Advertising and Campbell Mithun" As nobody else commented even after 2 relistings, it was closed (properly) as non-consensus.
The reply to the reasons for keeping is, of course, that there are many other advertising agencies whose articles should be deleted. , and that "one of the larger" is not the same thing as "notability. I would now at promotionalism as an additional reason: a list of a firm's clients is not approptiate contents, but advertising.

- Comments A lot of the content is sourced to some bloke called Risdall. Among what isn't, I particularly like this bit: Risdall becomes the first advertising agency in the world to be organically listed on Google for the search term "advertising agency." The source for this inscrutable statement actually says: Of more than 180,000 firms worldwide, RAA is the first organically listed on a Google search for the term "Advertising agency." (When you Google something, two lists of results come up: The paid list of relevant ads, and the organic — or, unpaid — list of actual search results.) I'll attempt a translation into English: When I search in Google for the term "Advertising agency", at the top of the list of hits is RAA. The writer posted it at MinnPost (of Minneapolis). I'll wildly guess that his Googling showed a preoccupation with Minn. Possibly his IP number identified him as being in Minn. Well, he did write this back in 2008, when the Google "bubble" wasn't as well known then as it is now. -- Hoary (talk) 11:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Her pictures are all over the Web and her modeling activities are widely mentioned, but as best I could find the coverage of her modeling is found in the sorts of websites that we usually discount for notability and reliability purposes. As a professional model and working actress, she is not really the sort of low-profile private person with which WP:BLP1E is primarily concerned, but under the instructions of WP:BIO1E as well as BLP1E, the right ultimate result here may be to merge and redirect this content to a new section of the Simone (2002 film) article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:34, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment @Ireneshih - No indication of significance? She's been on a ton of Boards, some of which include the World Security Institute, The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and being the Board Chair at Free The Children, one of the most successful non-profits in the world. The references in the article include a Forbes article about her being honored at a Forbes Women Leadership Event, a Huffington Post article detailing her life and work, a website that journalists use for sources, and numerous credible non-profit websites. This is my first article on Wikipedia, and certainly won't be my last, but I thought that Haller was an interesting subject for my first piece. I was surprised she didn't already have one! -United191 10:09, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Philanthropy is nice, serving on boards of directors is fine, being an activist is all very well - but none of those things by themselves amount to notability. In order to have an article here, a person must have received significant coverage from independent reliable sources, and I could find none. The only Reliable Source cited in the article is the obituary of her first husband. The other citations are either based on information she herself supplied, or are not what we consider a Reliable Source. And I could not find significant material for either Eva Haller or Eva Roman on a search. It sounds like she is a wonderful and remarkable woman, but without the independent sources to prove it, we can't have an article on her. Sorry. --MelanieN (talk) 02:02, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep This is my first article on Wikipedia, but I did A LOT of research for it, to avoid this specifically. Although the only reference that you said was trustworthy was her late husband’s obit, there are article in the page from Forbes, the Huffington Post, Jane Fonda’s blog, University websites, and many more. I’ve been using Wikipedia for years, and I’ve seen tons of people with less ‘notability’ than this woman. Understandably, some of the information from these references came directly from her, but some absolutely did not. I invite you to go and read the two books I cited, and the book that comes up when you search for her via the book database on the AfD page. I read them in their entirety.
To me, there’s also a principle of the matter. People from her generation, especially that did a lot before the Internet age, don’t have an extensive online record of their life. I went through all of the information that could be found online, which is extensive and consistent, and THEN more external sources to make sure that this is a reliable article.
For many people who aren’t necessarily at celebrity status, like this woman, there is no one place that lists everything that they’ve done, except for Wikipedia. If she isn’t ‘notable,’ there are thousands of other pages that should be taken down. She is the Board Chairwoman, at 83, for the largest non-profit in Canada, Free The Children. She's been around since their inception… and because of their work incorporating all of society into a child's education, their success is used as a model for other charities and people trying to build in Third World countries!
She’s a Nazi survivor, philanthropist, and change maker. Three of her projects have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (one is Free The Children). She is not only notable, but she is significant. She’s made much more of a change through being on these Boards, it seems like, than you or I will probably ever make in our lives! We need to keep a record of these people that have helped create and shape society so that when generations upon generations after us go back to look and find out who was responsible, the record will accurately stand!
If we write her off, then we are essentially going to be writing off an entire generation of people's information that have limited resources from which we can research… They had the unfortunate experience to be born before the Internet age… what we are telling them is that their accomplishments and contribution to society did not matter. The purpose of Wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia to record all the important people and events that we would find throughout history, not just the ones who happen to be fortunate enough to be born in the Internet age!
This is a woman who has been given awards by the United Nations, AARP, Forbes, and many others, at the very least, that is notable.
Let’s find a way to make her page stay. You have to realize, that when you say we should delete it, you’re essentially writing her life off as not notable enough to be remembered and unbiasedly reflected upon on Wikipedia, based of off a number of reliable sources.United191 (talk) 17:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- The Huffington Post & Forbes articles are great, but there are many more sources to be found... I'd suggest you also take a look at the Red Room Magazine article, and all of her bios from different Boards. They are all consistent with what the other publications are saying, and provide even more detail and context. United191 (talk) 05:21, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- You can also see clearly that she has met the criteria for WP:BIO with the two basic criteria for any article: The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times - she has been honored by the UN, Forbes, AARP, and the Rubin Museum, just to name the ones that I found. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field - she has been with Free the Children since the year after they were founded, and has lead the Board since then... it's now the largest non-profit in Canada. She's been on National Security Boards, by receiving the AARP Mentorship Award, we know she has mentored countless people, and lastly, she's been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by UNFPA - as is verified by pictures of her on their Facebook page, and text on their website.

While it is clear that they have some affiliations to some notable people in the scene, notability is not inherited, and it just isn't clear how these guys meet the guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia. The PopMatters review is the kind of thing we are looking for - if there were just a few more examples of coverage in reliable sources like this then I'd be inclined to !vote to keep this article, but as it stands I just can't see much beyond local coverage, and that isn't enough to be included here. — sparklism hey! 14:01, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

First AfD ended in no consensus with little participation about three months ago. Lets try again. Borderline at best on notability. I have to lean to delete here, but maybe we can get more participation this time. Safiel (talk) 05:06, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

- There are a lot of stories on the web featuring or interviewing him as a commentator on technology — but that's not the same thing as stories or interviews where he's the subject of the coverage. The latter kind of coverage is what we're after when determining whether there's enough verifiable content about a person to support a Wikipedia article or not, and there isn't a lot of that out there.

- Strongly oppose deletion One of Canada's leading commentator and broadcaster about technological matters. Has a major nation-wide audience on highly respectable Canadian Broadcasting Company. The AFD is astonishing. Bellagio99 (talk) 02:19, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- A person can quite easily be a "leading commentator and broadcaster" with a "major nation-wide audience" while still not actually being the subject of enough coverage in reliable sources to qualify for a Wikipedia article. I've heard of the guy too, but the fact that there isn't a whole lot of coverage about him is not "astonishing" — media personalities actually fall quite frequently on the wrong side of the distinction between I've-heard-of-them "fame" and properly-sourceable "notability", because the fact that they appear in media coverage of other topics is not the same thing as being the subject of media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 19:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- As I've said above and in the first AFD, the problem here is that while he frequently appears in media coverage of other subjects as an authority on those matters, he isn't the subject of enough media coverage — the kind where he's the topic of the coverage — to write a properly verifiable article that cites enough reliable sources to get past WP:GNG. We actually have this problem quite frequently with television and radio personalities — their names are well-known enough that they seem notable, but since they aren't the subject of the coverage it's almost impossible to actually write an encyclopedia article about them without relying almost entirely on primary sources like their Speakers Bureau profile or their "meet our personalities" blurb on the website of the television or radio outlet that they work for. He's certainly notable enough in principle that he should qualify for an article — but this article, as written, is not good enough to be kept, and there aren't enough sources out there about him to improve it. Delete, but do so without prejudice against future recreation if and when there are more good sources that can be cited. Bearcat (talk) 19:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

- [69] and [70] are both half-decent pieces that are about him, rather than him providing his opinions. They are, however, local sources. I would say, however, that these do combine with the fact that he seems to be CBC's go-to man for this sort of thing to convey some notability, as much per WP:COMMONSENSE. As the coverage on him is generally local, however, this is a Weak keep. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:26, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

DeleteNot notable as an MMA fighter. Not clear what being an Olympic "alternate" means (see my comment above), but it's not enough to claim automatic notability. There are no matches for "Alida Gray" at judoinside.com, which includes U.S. national championship events since 1953 and Olympic trials since 1992. A search for Alida Gray (+judo, but without MMA or Aguilar or wiki) turns up an article on her as the Cal Poly softball shortstop in "SOFTBALL BEAT PLAYER SPOTLIGHT", which is not enough to show she meets WP:GNG.

- Delete Individual research groups are rarely notable. I was unable to find any in-depth, independent RS about this particular research group, so it fails notability per WP:GNG. Papers or patents by individuals of this group may contribute to those individuals' notability, but doesn't tell us anything about the the group itself; that is, notability is not inherited. In cases like this a redirect might be reasonable, but "Applied Physics Research Group" is such a common name for an applied physics research group that it would be unreasonable to redirect to a particular university department.

- Comment I'm currently on the fence; there are several reliable source mentions of the database, but they are fairly incidental ("this exists") mentions. The directory's official website, in Japanese, is currently a portal to deriheru (prostitution legitimized as a medical service) providers in Japan. The National Environmental Directory Database listed by Envirosource points to a dead web page at the University of Michigan. The Madison Public Library links to a North American Association for Environmental Education web page which allows searches of the National Environmental Directory, but searching the database also points to a dead link. Elsewhere the NAAEE simply links to the Japanese prostitution website. The directory and prostitution website are listed in a dozen or so books, but only incidentally, among lists of other websites, and are singled out in a couple peer-reviewed journal articles (here and here). The EPA lists a "National Environmental Directory of Minority and Women-owned Businesses", but it's not clear that it has any relation to this directory. ––Agyle (talk) 18:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

- A point to rebut a flawed part of the above analysis of the sources: a and c are the same category. The two footnotes tagged as unreliable are the two self-published roadgeek sites being cited. As to part b, there is a news article present. In addition to that, I offer:
- [77], a page from the makers of ArcGIS cartography software that defines the concept under the term "overlap" and how it applies to a cartographic workflow.
- The Wisconsin DOT uses "concurrent" on a trivia page about their state trunk highway system and in a project study related to I-41 in the state.
- The Texas DOT uses the same term to describe overlapping highway routings.
- A travel guide website uses the term.
- ArcGIS also uses "concurrency" in its user help forums.
- This shows the term is in use in several contexts, sufficient to warrant notability. Again, WP:Deletion is not cleanup. Imzadi 1979 → 09:44, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

But where is the encyclopedic discussion on it? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 09:08, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't think the nom is challenging that the concept exists. The nominator makes a valid point. When you examine the sources, the first one uses the term "coincident" and the second uses the term "common section." None of the sources use the word "concurrent" or "concurrency." Doing a quick Google search turns up nothing which supports that the term "concurrency" is not a coloquialism. I'm inclined to support deletion. However, this may be an acceptable time to ignore all rules. I believe this article is a good change by common sense, and it improves the encyclopedia. --hmich176 09:27, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - Per above. I'll add that any reasonable person would concede this article is full of fancruft, excessive examples and sadly probably always will be. It's just one of those topics that every roadgeek feels compelled to add, "ohh you forgot there's one in MY hometown, let me add it in bold type in the lead". However, the criteria for deletion should be notability. Nobody would argue that U.S. Route 66 should be deleted because that article is similarly full of fancruft, barely relevant random fact insertions and pop culture irrelevance.

Procedural nomination: this article is tagged as a hoax and I've been unable to establish that the listed references verify the article's content. I've started sorting through ProQuest trying to locate the article's references. I've been able to locate one so far ("Militant Princess without a Country," Washington Post) and it doesn't mention the existence of the article's subject. The article contains two openly accessible references, both in Georgian; one of the refs is unreliable as it's hosted on a site that accepts user submissions([78]). See also a factual error pointed out on the talk page. The article's primary contributor is indefblocked sockpuppet Permaveli (talk · contribs). A lot of red flags here. Muchness (talk) 07:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. I've tagged it with a hoax speedy, as I can't find any reliable sources that show that this person actually exists. A search for her name brings up nothing. The article shows sources, but I can't actually find where these sources mention her. All of what I am finding seems to stem from this Wikipedia article. I'm also a little leery of the photographs since some of them look like they're different people. I'll put a notice in on Wikimedia Commons that they'll likely want to delete the photos since this seems to be a very blatant hoax, so the photos aren't representing the right person(s).

- Comment. Duke Constantine Petrovich of Oldenburg was certainly married to this woman. If you browse the Google Books for "Oldenburg" and "Zarnekau", some 19th-century references will pop up. Their kids are listed here. Her purported involvement in the marriage of Grand Duke George Alexandrovich of Russia is a hoax, however, because the tsesarevich never married. (He knew that he was mortally ill and tried to limit his contacts with women). Much of the article needs to be checked against sources. Unreliable stuff should be excised. --Ghirla-трёп- 09:03, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. Thanks for confirming her existence. I've also found an obituary of Duke Constantine Petrovich of Oldenburg that mentions her: Marquise De Fontenoy. "Kings Servants of the Poor To-Day". The Washington Post. 12 Apr 1906: 6. She is mentioned at thepeerage.com here. Perhaps the article should be provisionally redirected to Duke Constantine Petrovich of Oldenburg while interested parties work on establishing her notability and verifying all of the article's content? --Muchness (talk) 09:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Since there was no consensus last time, nominating again. Most references refer to him to "Asaram's son". His father is famous, his notability is questionable. IMO WP:GNG is not satisfied. '"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail' is violated. News reports (which feature on 7th or 8th pages on newspapers) covering controversy about Asaram's son, is really not significant coverage. Wikipedia is not a collection of news reports WP:NOTNEWS.

- Keep A Google News search shows extensive coverage in many reliable sources in India. Coverage of notable offspring of notable people will often mention their parents. But when the sources go on to give significant coverage to the offspring, that makes those people independently notable. That's the case here.

I've been following changes on this page since 21 December, but I'm still not 100% sure what the topic is supposed to be. It is apparently a group of people, perhaps from Nepal with diaspora in the Americas and Europe, but some versions of the page assert, "They are thickly populated in international countries with surname Paudarco" (from the 20 December 2013 version of the page). Prior to 20 December, the name was a redirect to Paudel, which is an article about a surname. Some edits to the page suggest that the topic is the name itself, not an ethnic group or community.
The main editor of the page (somewhat confusingly, he has used two different names, User:Naver.np and User:Manzilnfl) has made what are clearly good-faith attempts to improve the page. Unfortunately, they have not improved it much at all.
One further confusing issue: Pau d'arco is the name of several places in Brazil and is a common name for two plant species genera, one of which is touted as a health supplement. Web searches for that name turn up many results (some of which have been cited as references on this article at various times), but none, as far as I can see, is relevant to the Poudar people or the Paudel/Poudar name.

- Comment Nominating editor has misrepresented the grounds for removing the prod. It wasn't because he will play, but because there's little point wasting time and resources deleting an article, that most likely will be validly recreated when the season starts in a few weeks. However, if y'all really want to waste everyone's time, it's a valid deletion ... but I once again fail to see some want so desperately to play WP:WHACAMOLE rather than showing some patience and WP:COMMONSENSE and simply waiting a few weeks to see what happens.

- @Nfitz: - by that logic we should have an article on all FPL academy players on the grounds that they will probably play at some point in the next few years. Your second point makes no sense as you are basically saying "he's not notable now, but let's keep the article for a while to see if he continues not to be notable". Surely you understand that that is the exact opposite of what GNG requires?!? Fenix down (talk) 09:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- @JMHamo: You have completely failed to comprehend, and are misrepresenting my position. I have not said articles should be created for Academy players. This isn't an Academy player, this is a player who would be expected to be in the first team. I'm simply saying that there's no point wasting everyone's time by playing WP:WHACAMOLE for an article that will most likely be legitimately recreated within weeks when the season starts. To try and delete this article shows a complete lack of WP:COMMONSENSE, patience, and maturity. But go ahead anyway ... it's the complete waste of everyone's time I fail to comprehend.

I disagree that there is no third neutral reference. Although there is indeed an over-abundance of references to the Society web site and Society managed blogs I would not say that there are op third neutral references. Most of this links have an active hyperlink to these independent sources, so they can be verified independently. I counted 31 such references , viz. See External references- Wikipedia page. Kautilya.

--Rahulkepapa (talk) 09:42, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- All high-quality references like Routledge, Times of India, UNESCO DO NOT mention the organization at all, but reference sentences about Varanasi, the city. Allahabad High Court and Supreme Court keeps a record of each PIL and court case, that does not establish notability. "NGO runs hookah bar, cops pull down smokescreen, Deccan Herald" is the coverage the organization has really got in the Varanasi editions of newspapers. Redtigerxyz Talk 13:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Obscure news pieces that talk about a FIR of fraud in October been filled against the organization in the local Varanasi papers. This article created in November reads like a PR activity to promote the organization, all based on their own websites and blogs."
The article mentioned by the editor who proposes the deletion of the Kautilya Society page is: Litigation for Varanasi Heritage intensifies published in ⇒ Wikinews on Sunday, November 17, 2013. It is not about a fraud case but about a Public Interest Litigation. Wikinews editors are actively engaged in revisions to make sure that its articles are of good quality and it is unlikely that any PR activity over there will get passed by the editors. In the case of this article you can see the writing and revision process in n:Talk:Litigation for Varanasi Heritage intensifies and the final "pass" given there by Bddpaux. --Rahulkepapa (talk) 13:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Rahulkepapa forgot to mention that Wikinews article is written by him. Wikipedia and other sister projects are not contributedWP:RS. The PIL has hardly any coverage, it is the hookah bar (under the organization is accused of fraud) that have news coverage. Redtigerxyz Talk 13:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep It is not true that the PIL has not coverage in the Indian and specifically the Varanasi press. The fact that rahulkepapa was the main contributor to this article does not imply that he has no authority to comment about it. His point are valid that the article went under intense scrutiny and only after such scrutiny it was passed. I feel that Redtigerxyz is taking the issue too personally. The PIL for heritage for the heritage in Varanasi has a lot of significance for the city and beyond and more debate and partecipation is needed. Kautilya Society is a well known NGO in the city and more people will take part to the debate. Keep the article under scrutiny but please do not delete it as this will not give the opportunity for more additions and corrections. --Abufausto (talk) 10:46, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Abufausto (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
KeepComment The objection is raised that "a major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." I agree that it seems that the major contributor to this articles seems to know the matter first hand. However it does not appear to me that there is evidence of a conflict of interests. as defined by the Wikipedia policies as a case "when advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest". In fact there is ample spaces given also to the argumentation of those who oppose the Society. (Redtigerxyz only refers to those articles!) This reveals that the contributor has not been partial although he may still have personal inclinations that he was not sufficiently able to clean up. But he tried to be "objective" and refer favorable and unfavorable augmentations bring about the Society. Heritage protection in Varanasi is a hot issue and requesting "deletion" before requesting "additional sources required" is excessive. More time is needed to be given for improvements and corrections that can modify the initial contributions and bring it more in line with Wikipedia requirements. --Abufausto (talk) 12:09, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have struck your second "Keep". You may only !vote once. Further comments should be preceeded by Comment. Voceditenore (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. As Redtigerxyz noticed, the article did in fact contain an inadequate number of citations. As Abufausto suggested, other Wikipedia editors would need to contribute to the article by inserting more citations. I will work on and add more citations and references from the Indian media that cover the main activities of the Kautilya Society on heritage protection and the Public Interest Litigation. Please keep the article and allow more time to do such a revision.Vrindadar (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Vrindadar (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep. I have a copy of the book cited in the references - Banaras, the City Revealed, Marg Publications on behalf of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. - and Kautilya Society activities for heritage protection are described at page 77 and 78. Kautilya Society work for the heritage protection is also specifically mentioned in the following article quoted in the references: You can place Kashi on Unesco world heritage list, The Times of India.

- Keep - Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". Fighting a PIL for heritage protection is, in the Indian context, surely an important issue and information about a society doing this work deserves a place in the Wikipedia. In spite of the cultural importance of Varanasi, local stakeholders here may not have full knowledge of Wikipedia standards and rules but they should be given adequate time to contribute and improve the articles. Some citations may be in excess but at least few independent sources surely prove the article's notability. Redtigerxyz is excessive while saying that "NGO runs hookah bar, cops pull down smokescreen, Deccan Herald" is the coverage the organization has really got in the Varanasi editions of newspapers"--Gaurigrazia (talk) 18:45, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Gaurigrazia (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I would suggest keeping this wikipedia page and not deleting it. The page has a substantial number of references, a larger number than many Wikipedia pages that are currently not contested. I also don't understand the rational brought for by User:Redtigerxyz for deleting the page. It surely needs improvement but deleting the page does not do justice to either the organization nor its critics. Like most pages of organization on Wikipedia, there should be a section of in the page called "Controversies" where information gathered by User:Redtigerxyz can be inserted.
I believe it is important that global media channels like Wikipedia give space to small non-government organizations and allow them to disseminate information of their projects on Wikipedia. In the Kautilya Society page one can see a lot of effort in drafting an informative page of high quality and this kind of participation should be promoted. Information for this page is surely taken from the page and blog of the Kautilya Society, but this is their official website and as such a reliable source of information. New-media articles and academic journals are not the only source of reliable information.
There is substantial information online showing the existence of Kautilya Socity, from news articles to tripadvisor and facebook to make it notable and subsequently eligible for a page on Wikipedia.
A last point, from my knowledge the society by googling it, it seems to be called "Kautilya Society" and not "Kautilya Society for intercultural dialogue" and would subsequently suggest changing the page name.Faustoaarya (talk) 08:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC) — Faustoaarya (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Delete Fails WP:NGO. Only independent, third-party RS (Times of India) is a few passing references. Miniapolis 00:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Strong Delete The attempts at padding this article with "references" from their own websites, blogs, and YouTube videos; self-published material on Wikiversity, WikiBooks, WikiTravel, and WikiNews; multiple user-generated reviews in sites like TripAdvisor, etc.; primary source court documents; and extensive waffle about general environmental issues and Hindu philosophy cannot mask the fact that the subject comprehensively fails WP:NGO. The society brought a law-suit against some local hotels for illegal building works. Their targets brought counter-charges of them running a hotel for hookah-smoking tourists under the guise of an NGO. End of discussion. This organisation/hotel has received only passing mention in major news sources. There is absolutely no significant in-depth coverage in truly independent reliable sources of the society itself—its history, its impact, its activities (apart from running a hotel for hookah-smoking tourists and bringing a law suit). Even the interview with its founder has only one question about the society and brief answer at the very end of the interview ([86], p. 20). This article is also so promotional and full of soapboxing for their cause, that one could additionally argue for deletion via WP:BLOWITUP. It would need a fundamental re-write from zero to bring it anywhere near the semblance of an encyclopedia article. Even then, there would be no independent publications to source any assertions about the society, apart from the fact they brought a lawsuit against some local hotels and had some non-notable charges brought against themselves.
The COI here is blatantly obvious. The "Keep" !votes are all coming from the article's creator (who also wrote the WikiVersity, WikiBooks, and WikiNews pages and made the multiple videos which are linked from the article) and several other single-purpose accounts (at least one of which appears to have been created for the purpose of participating in this AfD, two of which have remarkably similar names, and another who has the same name as the Society's secretary quoted in the article and speaking in the videos). Note also their blatant advertising links on Commons [87]. Although COI in itself is not reason for deletion if an article is fixable (which this one clearly isn't), the commentary by these editors in the AfD discussion needs to be seen in that light.

No verifiable indications that this person meets the criteria for inclusion. Although claimed as a "chieftain" of Kapurhala State, there is no independent verification that he held any significant post in that government, and his role as an early adherent of the Ahmadiyya movement, while possibly notable within that movement, is not generally notable.

- Comment: This is the kind of AfD discussion where one is always worried that one is missing something. I'm fairly sure that we quite often delete articles on notable Indian Muslims from a hundred years or so ago - but the difficulty, as in this case, is knowing what to look for to distinguish the notable from the non-notable ones, particularly as there are often a number of ways of transcribing Urdu (and other Indian) names or deciding which parts of a name are important. For instance, in this article, the nominator marked two references as failing verification. In both cases, I am almost entirely convinced that he was wrong to do so - but as, in one case, the subject's name is given as Hadhrat Munshi Habib ar-Rahman and, in the other, as Munshi Muhammad Habibur Rahman, Chieftain, Kapurthala, I can suggest no more than that he was insufficiently ingenious (and probably not to the point where it matters, as in both cases, this was just one name in a list). And, while I would point out that Kapurthalwi doesn't seem to have been an integral part of the subject's name (it just seems to mean from Kapurthala) and neither, probably, is Munshi, removing these before doing a search simply leaves one with far too many false positives (even before one allows for the different ways to spell or even divide up what is left of the name). And, if there are significant reliable sources, chances are that they are in Urdu anyway (and, by the way, I suspect that the description of the subject as "chieftain" is a mistranslation from Urdu - but I've no idea of what the correct translation would be).

- Comment I point out that, based on this user talk page, this article was created and recreated multiple times in 2010, and speedily deleted several times. (Although, clearly at least one deletion was improper as it was deleted as an unsourced BLP, but clearly, this person has been dead for over 80 years. However, also because this person has been dead for over 80 years, it is unlikely that their notability has changed any since 2010. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:18, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Weak Delete, I agree almost entirely with User:PWilkinson, but that still unfortunately leaves us with an article that we can't verify. I'd rather delete this article with the proviso that it can be recreated if someone with good sources in Urdu (or another language) shows up, than run the risk of allowing a potentially inaccurate or hoaxy article to continue its existence.

Keep DIT SU is the first Student Union in Ireland that has a corporate identify. It is a <ref=http://www.ditsu.ie/union/who-we-are/company-info/>registered company</ref> DITSU Ltd Co. Number 109412. DITSU Ltd also owns a subsidiary trading company, DITSU Trading Ltd. The student membership of DITSU is the highest in the country when part-time students are taken into account. It is completely independent from the bureaucracy of DIT and for those reasons should not be closed/deleted and folded into the DIT wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gomaonaigh (talk • contribs) 14:27, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

- Where does it say that significant coverage requires non-local sources? Thanks, Orser67 (talk) 06:28, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- The relevant notability guidelines is WP:POLITICIAN, and IMHO, Cozzone is not a major local politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. I worked for a local paper 15 years ago, they're rather pathetic and needy to fill the page...The Unionville Times piece[94] was likely a press release from Cozzone at the beginning of campaign season. Likely self-published press release and the paper ran with it almost verbatim. The Phoenixville piece [95] is about her being one candidate in the election. A 300-word brief, she figures in about 40% of the article. Not a big deal. The Berksmont piece [96] is 250-word brief about the reorganization of the board...o.k. so what, she's vice chair in a commission's typical annual round-robin selection for a rather useless formality of a post...that's all it says. I can take a piss longer than it takes to read that article. A handful of dubious local news pieces with superficial coverage doesn't make her notable. Per WP:RS - less-established news outlets are generally considered less reliable. further, being reported on in a local paper isn't "significant coverage" independent of the person. Most local papers write articles on short-term interest stories, and largely from press releases by whoever wants a little publicity. these are small-time papers, and less reliable than a big market outfit. per WP:NTEMP, WP:BLP1E "if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." When she makes it to real newspapers with significant coverage (not some passing b.s.), or finds her way into a book, then she might be notable enough for an article. Right now, the local police blotter is likely more interesting than some article about her county commission meetings.--ColonelHenry (talk) 07:21, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Prod was disputed. No non-trivial third party RS to support WP:CORP notability. This source (a non-notable marketing site) devotes about a sentence to Dealply. This source only mentions Dealply's parent company, devoting a paragraph to it. This one appears to be a press release, and the remaining ones simply ID Dealply as having been picked up by anti-malware software. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Disclosure: I am the article's creator. Replaced press release with a reliable source and updated information based on source change. Fact remains that with millions of users, the company is a notable one. Continuing to find and addmore reliable sources regarding notability. Article does not warrant deletion. Ymd2004 (talk) 12:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. While I do admire that someone cared enough to compile this list, I don't think that Wikipedia is an appropriate location for this. We're not a soapbox or place to promote anything, regardless of how noble or good the intentions are. I am a bit concerned that there are multiple people uploading this list onto various accounts, as I deleted a similar list at User:AACI's Low Income Resource as a promotional userpage. I'm going to open up an SPI, as I'm concerned that there might be a network of people spamming for the various LIR locations. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:31, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- Although I do have to say that I personally view this as promotional in tone, as the wording in several sections of the article is blatantly promotional for the companies plus the nature of the list is to promote people using the services.

As Hyoun Park, I know all of these people. Whether any of us are famous enough to be in Wikipedia is up for debate and I'd be the first to agree that the current stub for my name (which I had no role in creating) is not up to snuff, but the people listed here are all experts in unified communications and enterprise telephony who are hired by enterprise companies and vendors to help with strategy and product development. Although we're famous in our own sphere, Wikipedia doesn't typically list even the most influential of industry analysts, which typically means that people researching enterprise technology topics on Wikipedia cannot find any listed experts on this site. I would actually argue that I'm better known for enterprise mobility as the first to quantify the costs of BYOD as a third-party, for my work with telepresence robots where I advised many of the key players in the market, and my work as a Big Data influencer on social media, but my work in telecom expense management, videoconferencing, and unified communications has also been significant over the last six years since I have about 50 primary published reports in those areas between my work at the Aberdeen Group and Nucleus Research. hyounpark (talk) 5:24, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
