WP:BLP of a politician and academic whose only substantive or sourced indication of notability is as a municipal councillor in a city not large enough to confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass on its city councillors (we extend that only to internationally famous global cities.) Further, the sourcing here is almost entirely of the primary variety — there's only one appropriate reliable source here, and it's just supporting a statement about his educational credentials rather than anything that would get him over a notability criterion (and was published nine years before he was actually elected to office, and is also an incomplete "publication + date but with no title" citation). So the sourcing doesn't even approach the volume or quality necessary to claim WP:GNG in lieu of NPOL. He might be able to claim notability as a writer, but that section of the article is completely unsourced (the one acceptable source in the article predates the books too.) Delete unless the sourcing can be massively beefed up onto his academic books instead of his city council seat. Bearcat (talk) 20:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: I have created stubs on 2 of his books; From Victoria to Vladivostok: Canada's Siberian Expedition, 1917-19 (2010) and Militant Minority: British Columbia Workers and the Rise of a New Left, 1948-72 (2011).--Skr15081997 (talk) 11:18, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- For both of those, you still need to write a lot more than a single sentence asserting that the book exists — neither one of those articles, in its current form, demonstrates any reason why the books would actually merit standalone encyclopedia articles under our rules for determining the notability or non-notability of books. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, WP:TBK says that a book may be notable because it was published by an academic press. In this case, they both satisfy that criteria. They also satisfy criteria 2 of BKCRIT and GNG with multiple book reviews. James500 (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep; Satisfies WP:AUTHOR. Let me expand the book articles.--Skr15081997 (talk) 11:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Obviously notable. Satisfies AUTHOR, and GNG and BASIC, with significant coverage in multiple periodical book reviews. James500 (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. He doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN but the book reviews are enough for WP:AUTHOR. On the other hand, the micro-stubs for his books should probably be merged back into this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

I live in Quarto Miglio and can confidently say that it has no redeeming interest that would justify a separate article. The church mentioned is a relatively new one and is of little interest. Gina Lollobrigida lives there and Valentino (fashion designer) used to but that hardly merits an article. Roundtheworld (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

- Delete for being TOO SOON. It is admittedly difficult for short doc films to gain the requisite coverage even after release, and even with it soon-to-screen at short film festivals... July 4th in Berlin and July 5th at Mykonos Biennale in Greece, simply screening is not a notability. As it is beginning to catch some minor attention, it can userfied back to contributor Mike300578 with a thank you but a polite explanation that simply screening at even a notable festival is not a notability unless also receiving commentary and analysis in reliable sources... and even if lacking notability enough for its own article, it can always be spoken of in that of its filmmaker, Alexander Tuschinski.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
As of 2006, this page was begun and remaines unaddressed. It is woefully outdated, even neglected.
Whilst I am aware that some of the content discussion on the last nomination for deletion in 2008 made reference to the general publicising of 'Heads of Departments in Universities' and resulted in a 'keep', this page should be considered as not part of this agenda.
Since beginning her work at DCU, Chris Stevenson embarked on a great deal of both professional and personal projects, worked in many different areas and with great success. She had a battle with Cancer for a year and a half and sadly lost this fight in November of 2014.
Whilst the merits of such pages should be considered and not dismissed. It should also be noted that attempting to updaet this page would be a massive (and possibly painful) undertaking and those wishing to argue a 'keep' on this occasion bear this in mind. Find another, more useful source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clothsnake (talk • contribs) 11:10, May 20, 2015 (UTC)
- Sad that she has died, but that provides the possibility that there is an obituary that would be a good source of information for her. Since you seem to be knowledgeable about the person, perhaps you can look for this and add to the article? As it is now, the sourcing is not strong. LaMona (talk) 13:57, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep and update The previous discussion resulted in a clear "keep", and the nomination does not clearly state why this should be overturned: our approach is "once notable, always notable". The fact that the article is outdated is not a reason to delete, but to carry out the updating. Please note that this may be done by any editor, and those who may prefer for personal reasons not to be involved are not required to participate: Noyster (talk), 09:40, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep -- notable in 2008 would not make her less now. Her death, actually makes the arguments for deleting less strong: one of the main points of the notability requirements is the difficulty of policing BLPs. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 04:33, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment - there's a ton of stuff about it but it seems like it's related to accusations against the founders of being secret jihadists and anti-Israel, none of it in reliable sources (though I didn't search too far). I deleted the external link as it seems like the "official site" domain expired and was taken over by an e-cig marketer (thus the "blog" you saw). —МандичкаYO 😜 03:29, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

- Carman-Ainsworth High School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The article is a content fork of the school districts, Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools, by trying to included the history of all high schools in the district, with some highly questionable information. Google and Yahoo searches only turn up routine coverage. The single sourced reliable sources, Mlive/Flint Journal, only adds trivial information about alumni - basically the school only gets passing mention. Thus the article fails Notability's WP:GNG. I have been told that just because it exist that it is notable, but that is contrary to WP:ORGSIG. Spshu (talk) 17:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. This is a sizeable public high school, and the article already has substantial sourcing. As noted at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, we have a very long consensus to keep articles about schools like this one (recently reconfirmed, for example, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linda Esperanza Marquez High School and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Livingston High School) and no sufficient reason is stated to vary from that consensus here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:38, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Again source coverage is routine and/or passing coverage. WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a valid reason. Spshu (talk) 19:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Coverage is actually less than at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swartz Creek Area Fire Department, which still was deleted per the WP:ORGDEPTH arguments as the Mlive/Flint Journal (a single source for notability purpose) talks about the athletes and only mention that they are alumni in passing. NCES is a routine governmental statistic website. Michigan Football source is about Ainsworth High (now CA Middle School) which is not Carman High, the original name for the now, Carman Ainsworth and could be considered a personal website. --Spshu (talk) 19:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Snow keep - As the nominator stated, he has been informed that high schools have automatic notability, per Arxiloxos and also per WP:Gazetteer John from Idegon (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Note: This keep voter was informed that statement is completely false per Wikipedia:Schools. Per Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features): "..are presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable" does not mean automatic notability. As this "keep" vote must show notability now that it has been challenged. Spshu (talk) 19:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- WP:Gazetteer states: "And Geographical features must be notable on their own merits." Which does not grant any immunity from AfD or notability. Spshu (talk) 19:25, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- "In practice articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes" (WP:WPSCH/AG#N) There is a citation from NCES on the article. The school exists. If you want to argue the guideline, individual articles are about the least effective way to do that. This will be kept, undoubtedly. What exactly were you quoting? And your quote from WP:Gazetteer is an out of context disclaimer on WP:INHERIT. Notability does not perish. An article about a predecessor school is certainly an establishing factor for notability of this school. John from Idegon (talk) 21:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- NCES is not a publisher and since it is statistical information, it is routine coverage per your standard. Existence does not equal notability. You are arguing against WP:School. No, that is the full WP:Gazetteer section quoted (copied & pasted), please actually read what you are referencing. There is no predecessor school to Carman/Carman-Ainsworth and that would be inheriting notability, which is against WP:INHERIT. --Spshu (talk) 13:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - Like with many topics such as population centers, the community wisely decided long ago that there's an inherent notability with high/secondary schools. Instead of editors having to vet and scrutinize the tens of thousand of such topics, time and resources of the volunteers are much better spent creating and improving articles and avoiding discouraging animosity between editors. --Oakshade (talk) 03:21, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- 'Note. Again voter ignores the totality of the argument here. Since, you mention it, we are here directly due to another editor's animosity and adversarial stance in his inability to allow the school's article to be redirect (per WP:OUTCOMES) to the school district for it to be incubated there and not find or look to see that the history section of the article is mostly false. Also, being told that AfD is the only place to discuss and that I should know it. --Spshu (talk) 13:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- It's only you in the eight year existence of this article that doesn't' want to "allow" this article to exist, this despite every other editor (including two during editing that only you have been reverting) weighing in so far agreeing with long standing precedent on the inherent notability of high/secondary schools. --Oakshade (talk) 01:55, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- That is an OTHERSTUFF argument in claim that I am the only one objecting to the article. As every editor is not summoned to weigh in on the article nor force to weigh in on the creation of the article. Every editor cannot review every article at every moment and that is what you are suggesting. You are using the false argument of WP:ARTICLEAGE ("Consensus can change, and an article that was once accepted under Wikipedia's guidelines or just by defacto practice could be put up for deletion.") as Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. The number of editors that have edit the article is also a non-issue per WP:INVOLVE. Also, I have seen as pointed out else where here with two articles in the same wikiproject totally different outcomes because closing editors go apparently on and incorrectly on votes based on whether or not outside due to INVOLVE. Second, inherent notability of high schools is false per WP:ORGSIG: "No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools." WP:NSCHOOL: "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both." So making it clear that the precedents have been made incorrectly per the various Notability guideline.
- Consensus has long and strongly held that all high/secondary schools are considered inherently notable are are kept as indicated in WP:OUTCOMES. Finding a sub-clause buried in sub-guideline that contradicts consensus (see WP:GAMETYPE) isn't going to change consensus. While you've reminded us consensus can change, you've demonstrated zero evidence it has in this case as you are the only person who wishes this to change. While it might be shocking to you that there are exceptions to the Wiki-lawyering guidelines, they do exist. --Oakshade (talk) 00:38, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- You hit it on the head of what I feel has happened. "Bad faith wikilawyering" in proclaiming high school instead of properly "school districts" as inheritable notable per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#School_districts and "Spuriously and knowingly claiming protection, justification or support under the words of a policy, for a viewpoint or stance which actually contradicts policy." since NOR applies to schools not automatic notability. Gee that is how I feel the consensus was made, since it does not match up to what is written. So now the previous consensus is being cherrypick and wikilawyered against me as being gaming the system. --Spshu (talk) 20:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - The history section could do with a good pruning but apart from that the article fits squarely into the time honoured precedent as documented at OUTCOMES. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Note: WP:OUTCOMES is same as arguing WP:OTHERSTUFF. But if you want to apply it then that it also states: "Schools that don't meet the standard (notability) typically get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally North America)..." Thus a non-notable outcome is allowed for schools under WP:OUTCOMES. Additional note, editors have reject my changing it to a redirect so information could be pulled from this article & incubated at the school district article. Spshu (talk) 13:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Spshu, the difference between OTHERSTUFF and OUTCOMES is that OUTCOMES documents a clear precedenr evidenced by hundreds, if nit thousands of near identical AfD closures. That's a very strong precedent. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Kudpung, OTHERSTUFF also indicates "In general, these deletion debates should focus mainly on the nominated article." "Deletion debates can sometimes be faulty;" "However, Wikipedia recognizes that it suffers from systemic bias (see WP:BIAS)." Just stating OUTCOMES as a reason is clearly OTHERSTUFF.
- Look at who you can notify about an AfD and it is bias against the nominator as he cannot solicit even people that he feels would be neutral, while notification of bias parties like the School project is automatically. In one AfD (since they would not accept a redirect to a full sourced "list of" article, that was forced through an AfD with absolutely flying colors - luckily some neutral parties did show up), the stand alone article passed AfD based on a single primary source (the organization's website) and vague claims of large membership.
- Additional, I have point to another OUTCOME where as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES "The current notability guideline for schools and other education institutions is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) (WP:ORG)." WP:ORG was supposedly applied and even a regional newspaper with lots of direct coverage (some of which wasn't routine, just not apparent how to integrate those news article into the WP article) and an AP article could not help (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swartz Creek Area Fire Department), there is even less here for the CA High School. That AfD is still an outcome for an ORG which applies to schools. Spshu (talk) 14:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Spshu, I'm not quite sure I follow your comment above, but I repeat: OUTCOMES documents a clear precedenr evidenced by hundreds, if not thousands of near identical AfD closures. That's a very strong precedent. That precedent is proven by consistent AfD closures while OTHERSTUFF relates to individual AfD closures or existing 'other' articles and comparing fire departments to schools is comparing apples to oranges.

- ←It isn't apples to oranges as they all fall under the Notability for Organizations as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES & WP:NSCHOOL to show that the precedents are incorrect. There for citing precedents that failed to follow Notability for Org & WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is a false argument. Claim other precedents under ORG notability don't apply is a false argument.
- per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#School_districts, school district have inherit notability not high school. As WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES states: "Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia. |'Redirect' as an alternative to deletion is anchored in policy." And I quoted this again, which you have clearly dismissed despite claiming this as the authority for keeping. Spshu (talk) 13:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- That WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES sentence applies to elementary (primary) and middle schools. The part of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES you conveniently left out is: "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are being kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists."--Oakshade (talk) 00:42, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Which you fail to note states "most" is not all "independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools.." Is is the small part to the other quoted material which as you recommend to see WP:GAMETYPE as WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES clearly states WP:ORG applies to "schools and other education institutions" not inherited notability that school district have. Is that not cherrypicking at its finest? Spshu (talk) 20:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a political figure whose only substantive claims of notability are as an internal campaign organizer, and an as-yet-unelected candidate in a future election. These are not claims that satisfy WP:NPOL — a person must win the election and thereby hold office, not merely have their name on a ballot, to claim NPOL on that basis, and we do not extend notability freebies to campaign staff. All of the sourcing here, further, is of either the routine or blogspotty varieties, with not enough substantive referencing to claim a WP:GNG pass on the basis of the coverage itself.

- Delete, without prejudice, although I disagree with the nominator that all coverage is of a purely routine nature; a couple articles appear to be full-blown profiles, rather than matter-of-course announcements. However, a smattering of local media coverage does not (or should not) qualify as enough to pass GNG. This should obviously be revisited if he goes on to more notable things.

- Keep as there are several reliable independent sources that focus on this company. See: [2] [3] [4]. The larger concern with this article is WP:NPOV. I've taken some steps towards removing and altering the promotional content on this page, but there's still more to be done. It's at a state where it's fixable without a fundamental rewrite. ~ RobTalk 16:38, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Weak keep There are quite a few sources, just about passes WP:GNG I believe. I agree it needs a rewrite- currently it just trying to celebrity namedrop, if the "Work with Celebrities" and "TV shows" sections cannot be sourced, they should be removed. Also, it should be moved to Icelolly (website) per WP:TITLE (shouldn't use .com in article name). Joseph2302 (talk) 16:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've removed those sections for now. Even if they were sourced, it isn't exactly neutral to name drop every celebrity the company has ever worked with. WP:PROMO comes to mind. I think the article is as close to within policy as I can get it at the moment. Everything is sourced except the initial text, which I'm going to go searching for a source on now. ~ RobTalk 16:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

- Delete: The article, originally contributed by a WP:SPA, documents routine firm approval listing and various associations of the company with larger groups (themselves non-notable) and an award nomination for Global Travel Group, but the nearest to establishing notability for the subject firm itself is a monthly non-notable award.

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals) as a non notable student edited journal Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:18, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: I tagged this for speedy deletion in an earlier incarnation, and it was deleted. In a subsequent discussion with the author, I said that the article needed "reputable third-party sources (NOT your website, or blogs, or a Facebook page) that support the journals notability." He has responded with four sources. Unfortunately, one is their website, and the other three are directory and catalog listings. The article asserts that one of the sources provides a ranking, but it's not obvious — certain the link being pointed to does not support the assertion. The article still provides no evidence to support notability. ubiquity (talk) 15:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. For law journals, the Washington and Lee ranking is used to evaluate their relative ranking. The site is not very user friendly and one cannot link to search results, but if you rank journals here according to impact factor, this journal ranks 107 among 1640 journals, being way into the top 10 percentile. --Randykitty (talk) 16:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, first, almost all U.S. law journals are student run and edited, including the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Review. Whether it is edited by students or not is not relevant as to its notability. Second, being listed with an abbreviation in Bluebook in Table 13 means that the journal is used frequently enough in legal citations to merit having it listed. The same thing with being listed as a journal accessible via HeinOnline. This is clearly a notable journal. GregJackP Boomer! 16:50, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Although I agree with your "keep" !vote, I disagree with your rationale. Not all law reviews are student edited. The vast majority of US journals are, but even in the US there are exceptions. Being listed in the Bluebook is not generally considered to satisfy WP:NJournals, because it is not selective (it strives to include all law reviews that are cited from time to time). --Randykitty (talk) 17:10, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Reply. I amended my !vote to reflect "almost all U.S." instead of the previous language. I disagree with you on Bluebook, from the language at the start of Table 13, it states
[P]rovides abbreviations for the names of select English language periodicals...
(at p. 444, 19th ed.). In any event, this is still a notable law journal. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 17:24, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

- Delete (and a lot of siblings) unless expanded during AFD period. I looked at Category:Monasteries in West Sussex. It looks as if User:Starzynka (now blocked) created a string of place-holder stubs in September 2010. Six weeks later he was blocked and declared himelf retired. A few of the articles in that category have substantive articles, but there are a lot of similar stubs. The category probably needs to have a list created as its main article to replace the stubs. I am not saying that an article on Runcton Priory could not exist as a legitimate article, merely that this and its sibling stubs need converting to redlinks in a list article, until someone is prepared to write substantive articles. Material certainly exists to make this possible, but I do not have the time to do it. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep due to the excellent information cited by above by User:Clarityfiend and the bibliography in the article. Because women's activities were in general poorly documented at this time, we should include the information that we do have. Many women felt just as compelled to do something meaningful for the war as men did, and here is important evidence that they did more than roll bandages, and put themselves at great risk to do so.

- delete Flag me if independent sources can be produced. I have looked and can find no reliable news reports or secondary sources. The problem as I see it is that any group can declare itself a church, but to merit a Wikipedia article a church needs to be written up in reliable, independent secondary sources.

Seems to be based entirely on what a "Portable boat lift" is _not_.
A boat lift is very much stationary, part of canal infrastructure.
A ship lift has the function described here, but on a far greater scale.
There are straddle carriers used as boat lifts. We need an article on those. This is clearly not it.

However, her published book "Puerto Ricans in the Empire; Tobacco Growers and U.S. Colonialism" the first book which tells how Puerto Ricans challenged United States officials and fought successfully for legislation that benefited the island. Her book has been praised by scholars, here is an example:
“Puerto Ricans in the Empire provides an excellent introduction to Puerto Rico’s crucial tobacco industry, with fascinating material on farmer organizations and agricultural research." —Herbert S. Klein, Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History Columbia University
"Levy shows that even within the framework of U.S. colonialism, tobacco farmers proliferated, prospered, and advanced their interest, and were thus makers of their own history. This is a salutary correction to the one sided vision of the colonial regime of previous scholarship." —César Ayala, University of California, Los Angeles
"Levy offers a well-documented, nuanced revision of post-1898 Puerto Rican economic history. By focusing on tobacco rather than sugar cultivation, Levy argues, Puerto Rican tobacco farmers, despite clear power imbalances, did influence certain aspects of US colonial policy, including the political structure, changes in legislation directly affecting the island, and the transfer of technology. She effectively exposes the silences produced by a historical narrative that until now has focused mainly on the unilateral action of the US. Highly recommended." —Choice

- Weak delete -- the vote is weak but I strongly object to the rhetoric of "nice" by damiens.rf which is often used as a code for dismissing the work of female academics and female academics of color in particular. She is a serious, up and coming scholar publishing serious work that has been noticed very positively by her peers. The vote is delete, however, because the bar is rather high for assistant professors; she almost clears it with book holdings (135 institutions), but for an assistant professor in the humanities I'd like to see at least 200 or 300 in the absence of a major award. There's little harm in keeping the article, because given her position, she will likely clear the threshold in four to five years, but for now precedent says delete. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 04:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think you're reading sexism where it doesn't exist. Having personally been a victim of it in the job market, I like to think I am more sensitive to spotting this than the average person, but I'm increasingly concerned that WP eds see "misogyny behind every tree" (as I commented at another recent AfD) and that this trend only serves to trivialize the whole matter.

- Keep - the recognition extended by Cesar Ayala to Ms. Levy is far from "trivial." Ayala is an established & internationally renowned professor, and author of two definitive books about Puerto Rican agricultural history. Sarason (talk) 02:28, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. In academia, one's PhD thesis is not considered a "published book". In essence, the Rutger's Press book is her PhD dissertation (perhaps with added material/analysis) in published form. This is standard procedure in the humanities area of academia. Agricola44 (talk) 17:47, 1 July 2015 (UTC).
- I disagree with this. It is not uncommon for a PhD dissertation to be re-worked as a published book, but it is still a published book, and not a PhD dissertation, which exists in another form. There are many, many dissertations which are not published as books, and the publishers who publish academic works are not indiscriminate in which books they publish. It only makes sense that once someone has done the research that it takes to write a dissertation (which must present new data) that the research becomes the basis for a book on the topic. LaMona (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- It seems we agree that the book "Puerto Ricans in the empire: tobacco growers and U.S. colonialism" from Rutgers University Press is published. It is her dissertation "The history of tobacco cultivation in Puerto Rico, 1899-1940" which is not considered to be a published book. Dissertations are internal documents written to satisfy a curricular requirement. It is true that not every humanities dissertation winds up being published, but it is true that a published dissertation is all but a requirement for tenure-track/tenured academic appointment, i.e. it is a minimal academic requirement. That is one of the reasons why we normally do not take a single published book to indicate notability by WP:PROF. Passing usually requires 2 published books, either by 1st rate university presses or that show very good library holdings (I informally call this the "DGG" condition, as he often invokes it in AfDs).

- Delete. The keeps seem to be based largely on testimonials. Objective analysis shows Levy is an entry-level academic with 1 book that grew out of her PhD thesis and that that book has about average library holdings according to WorldCat. Her work has 4 GS citations. This is the archetypical case of WP:TOOSOON. Aside, the article itself is full of WP:OR and the reference list is mostly web pages, YouTube vids, and publications by Levy herself. The only WP:RS is the NYT wedding announcement. Agricola44 (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2015 (UTC).
- Delete as per nom and Agricola44. My sweeps of US news, world news, Spanish-related media, did not find much to indicate coverage meeting the WP:GNG. Her book on Amazon here published in 2014 has not yet had one customer review -- I know, not an official reason, but an indication to me of a lack of interest.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

- Comment (stubify) -- maybe simply deleting "Strategic foundations" (similar to the original version by Abel Asrat (talk · contribs) - see 3 October 2014 version) could be a solution, removing the worst promotional parts. Unfortunately the originally short factual description has been puffed up by later SPA edits, full of irrelevant details and self-presentation. The article is short of independent sources too, but that could be improved by interested editors over time. For a government organization, that just started full reporting in 2014 it's likely that more coverage will be available in time (or is possibly already available in Ethiopian sources, although an English-language search had little success). The current version is definitely too promotional and gives undue weight to overly detailed self-descriptions. GermanJoe (talk) 18:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Farrell. Douglas Perez's work appears to be self-published and only notes Stich in his recommend reading list (which contains other conspiracy works). Larry Chin cites other conspiracy theorists to support a version of the October Surprise conspiracy theory. Ken Summers writes for Week in Weird; this is essentially the National Enquirer. John Barry Smith's www.montereypeninsulaairport.com is self-published. And as you've noted below, Flying Magazine cites Smith, not Stich. - Location (talk) 15:43, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Even when we take a couple of sources as bad, there still are seven that are kosher, as I see them.

- Delete as per WP:BLP1E. One time thingie. There are spotty references] here. Here's the BLP1E rule...--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:59, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We should generally avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met: If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley, Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented. The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.

- comment - I disagree with merging, because it is verifiable the label has releases other than those by Parmentier. The most notable of the artists listed appears to be Vladislav Delay. I'm not even sure Parmentier is notable, in fact I was going to comment that the Sigma Editions article appears to be a walled garden, with the exception of Delay. At first glance the subject appears to be possibly notable by the number of notable artists signed, but the articles for these artists are likewise missing sources. Right now I'm leaning delete, but possible sources include this. I couldn't find anything else. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:17, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with the walled garden observation and had come to that same conclusion. Unfortunately, the only way to break out of a walled garden is to delete the NN label since artists can inherit notability from their label, but not the label from the artist.

- I said merge with Parmentier because they ran the label, not because they were on the label. However because there is so little verifiable information on the label and Parmentier scrape against the notability guidelines, it may be better to merge it into both Rosy Parlane and Dion Workman's bios. -- haminoon (talk) 20:33, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The result was Consensus to delete - Consensus seems to be that this is not an encyclopedic topic. While those seeking to keep did demonstrate that sources exist they did not demonstrate that this had any notability beyond being a fringe theory. Thus the result is deletion without prejudice against recreation if you can address the concerns in this AfD.
If anyone is interested in merging to Southern United States they can request undeletion for the purposes of merging, but I don't see a consensus for that here. I would suggest getting consensus at Talk:Southern United States first as it is a long article and probably needs to pick and choose its content. Chillum 20:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Kitfoxxe (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2015 (UTC)- It's not a hoax and I'm not letting off steam. This is a legit article about the Southern ethnicity. We are a separate people with our own history, culture, etc and I thought it'd be a good idea to type up a Wikipedia article about us. Now mind you I have a bit of a problem with procrastinating and I am taking the time tonight to really make the article look good.

- I ask that you don't delete this. I've put a bit of work on the article and I ask all of you to help me with it. Down South, we consider Southern to be an ethnicity and it has been proven by various historians that we are ethnically and culturally distinct from the rest of the United States.

- Proven by which "various historians"? I see you added a rather large amount of sources, but none of them seem to support this article's subject. This source mentions "white Southerners" only once and not in an ethnic context, this doesn't seem to mention it at all, and most of the sources have no page numbers whatsoever.

DeleteMerge to Southern United States. The page creator went on to edit the George Patton to link to his own creation. There is not a lot of content to the article and I find the timing of its creation to the furor over the Confederate battle flag curious. We went through this shuffle earlier this year when editors started creating pages trying to prove that the southern states were all, briefly, independent countries in 1861.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 16:53, 23 June 2015 (UTC)- Yes, I had similar feelings about the timing too. I thought that I subsequently checked the article history and found that it was created before the Charleston church shooting, but looking again now, it was created the day after. Nonetheless, I don't think we should judge whether the topic is worth covering on the basis of the intentions of the article creator. In fact, if we can have well-written, sourced coverage, that might actually deter people from writing their own soapbox coverage (maybe). Cordless Larry (talk) 22:13, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Delete unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the sources listed support the existence of an ethnic group called "Southerners", which I doubt. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)- That said, one author not included amongst the sources who does view Southerners as an ethnic group is John Shelton Reed. Whether his work alone is enough to justify an article that asserts that Southerners are an ethnic group, I doubt. Personally, I would just include a brief note in the Southern United States article to the effect that some scholars consider there to be a distinct Southern ethnic identity. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:40, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

- I've got the article on my watchlist, but I'd be happy with a merge to Southern United States because it seems to be a pretty niche view that Southerners constitute an ethnic group, and better covered there than in its own article unless more sources can be found.

- Strong Delete - This article makes me cringe! Southerners in and of themselves are not an "ethnic group" anymore than mid-westerners, northerners, or any other part of the United States. There is nothing WP:NPOV about leading off with "White Southerners" as the criteria. Is the author implying that anyone without white skin cannot be considered a Southerner? We don't need this flawed POV, cited with decades old sourcing, merged. This has one point of view, and it doesn't meet Wikipedia criteria. No way.— Maile (talk) 21:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- I agree, that single opinion does not warrant an article, as WP:GNG requires multiple independent sources, not one (questionable) individual. Especially given that this single author's opinions are over 30 years old, if there were any merit to this article's subject someone would have picked up on it and there would be sources but there seems to be nothing of the sort. - Aoidh (talk) 06:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- On a purely technical note, it's untrue to say that the article is based on the work of one author alone. Predating Reed is Lewis Killian's work, and some other authors are mentioned. The idea has also received secondary coverage (e.g. from Dillman and M. G. Smith). Dillman notes that "this concept of Southerners as a distinct American ethnic group has been presented for more than a decade, and it continues to gain momentum". Whether we agree with use of the concept or not, it's clearly not just the idea of one author. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:58, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

- Cordless Larry, pardon me but academics (especially the non-scientific) claim loads of ideas and concepts. Doesn't something have to be widely accepted by a neutral group or at least accepted before it goes into wikipedia. Methinks John Shelton Reed is a bit into the American South and maybe needs some peer review. Alec Station (talk) 10:17, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yep, there needs to be coverage in secondary sources, but those are cited in the article too. Reed clearly is into the South, as you put it, but I think the journals he's published in that we cite here are peer reviewed. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:34, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see any journals only books, except the Harvard encyclopaedia that was refuted by a real anthropologist. Seems like he's confused between culture and ethnicity. Alec Station (talk) 10:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- True - sorry, Alec Station, I confused the sources with some others I read while researching this. Books by university presses are generally peer reviewed, however, and Reed and others have published on this in peer-reviewed journals, such as this and this. I've also just found some more secondary coverage in the New York Times. Whether Reed is right or wrong to consider Southern an ethnicity doesn't come into it for me - that's not for us to judge; we should just present what the sources say, including the criticism.

Whether or not Southerners constitute an ethnic group is clearly open to debate, but this article does at least now attempt to reflect that debate. As I mentioned above, the article doesn't say that Southerners are an ethnic group, but that they are considered by some authors to be an ethnic group. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Unsourced article for future series - fails WP:GNG. See WP:CRYSTALBALL Flat Out (talk) 03:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep I think it should be kept because animation is such a lengthy process so surely these are already in production. KiwikiKiWi (talk) 09:05, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. I would first refer to WP:NFF which states that
- "In the case of animated films, reliable sources must confirm that the film is clearly out of the pre-production process, meaning that the final animation frames are actively being drawn and/or rendered, and final recordings of voice-overs and music have commenced"
- "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (...) should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable (...). " I do think this ought to apply to animation movies, as well.
- The guideline is about standalone articles though. I think 1 applies because it is grounded on WP:CRYSTALBALL: many films get cancelled at a relatively late stage of the production, in which case we want neither a standalone article nor a mention in another article. I believe 2 ought to apply (which condemns the whole thing) as well but I agree that is more borderline. Tigraan (talk) 09:55, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Futarama said it best in these situations: "Painstakingly drawn before a live studio audience", and while it is true that these projects typically can't be thrown togather and shoved out in a few months 2017 does seem a little...far for an article on the subject matter.

- While it's true that animation is a long enough process that some of these are already in the production pipeline today, the problem is that for any number of potential reasons some of them might still fail to ever actually debut anywhere (e.g. turning out to be bad enough that no television network actually wants to pick them up, studio goes bankrupt, and on and so forth), or may end up getting delayed until 2018, 2019 or 2020. When it comes to television series, we do not start an article as soon as we can lean on one source announcing that the show has entered the production process — a television series does not become an appropriate article topic on Wikipedia until it has been officially upfronted by a television network as something that is definitely going to air rather than just being planned to maybe air. And if the series themselves aren't appropriate article topics yet, then we don't need a list of them yet either.

Receiving best paper award at a single scientific conference is not notability. I do not consider that even a credible assertion of significance.

The 10 papers are self published sources, which begs the question why a csd deletion on promotional grounds was not entertained in this case, and the only other remaining citation in his article at the time of this publication notes that he went to conference alleged to be notable but lacking substance, a fatal flaw for any article here since content apart from context is meaningless. Frankly, I've read obituaries that contained more information than this article, although I will concede that this second attempt to create an article on an at the moment unnotable collage student is a massive improvement over the original article, which was located at Tuan Le (Student) and was deleted on A7 grounds. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:38, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Sir, ICNC is aa top tier conference in networks. From their website "International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communication (ICNC), technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society, financially sponsored by Technology Innovation Association, is a PREMIER conference in the computer and communications fields. ICNC 2015 is to be held in Anaheim, California, USA, during Feb. 16-19, 2015." It is unprecdented for a Ph.d student to win best paper award at such an esteemed conference(30% acceptance rate). Frankly I find your dismissal of Mr. Le's accomplishments both ignorant and condescending. HayastanRepublicanGuard (talk) 05:51, 22 June 2015 (UTC)I personally agree with Hayastan Guard (Ayo!). It is foolish and misguided to assert that a man who, having published the best paper at a PREMIER conference, is not notorious enough to justify a page on a 3rd rate encyclopedia. I can personally vouch for his formidable achievements. GanapathyONDABEAT (talk) 05:57, 22 June 2015 (UTC)- @HayastanRepublicanGuard and GanapathyONDABEAT: You have my apologies for any perceived personal attack but my comments stand: From where I sit, according to Wikipedia's standard for notability, your doctor in training isn't there yet.

Basically, I do not understand what all are you saying, as the achievements of this man are clearly enough for notoriety. I bet ten lakhs that other computer networking researchers would agree.

Both also share a few other traits of similarity, including the absence of userpages, a failure to indent comments, and tendency to back each other up; the latter account also made a previous attempt at creating this article at Tuan Le (Student). There is presently insufficient evidence to make a conclusive case for socking here, however I urge the participants here to keep a watchful eye out on this discussion; if more new-ish accounts emerge or isp editors suddenly take a keen interest in this discussion it may warrant SPI-related action.

- Instead of complaining about other articles or adding puffery to the article, you should make policy and guideline-based arguments that he meets the notability guidelines for academics or general notability guidelines. In answer to your question about the poker player, winning two World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour titles clearly establishes his claim towards notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:02, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TOOSOON. His articles are too recently published to have significant publications, so WP:PROF#C1 seems out of reach, and there is no evidence of passing any of the other WP:PROF criteria. Certainly a best-paper award is not enough by itself. In addition, most of his publications are with a single more-notable co-author, Gerla, so even if they were highly cited it would be difficult to disentangle their contributions and determine how much of their notability should reflect on the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:45, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

- Who is "we"? The company?
- For a company to merit an article in Wikipedia, there must be significant coverage of it in reliable secondary sources, independent of the company (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). Furthermore, articles must be based primarily on such sources. Wikipedia is not for advertising, marketing, or public relations.
- Most companies do not have pages on Wikipedia. If you find a similarly sourced article on another company, the essay "Other stuff exists" may help you understand why that doesn't matter in this forum. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

This page just gives the information about the already present RLV-TD and also some unverified reports about a "Hyper-Plane" project. The Indian Media Reports the RLV-TD as "Indian Space Shuttle". This could have led to confusion and therefore the creation of a separate page. I thus think this article is worth for deletion. M.srihari (talk) 06:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)Srihari

- Delete Indian Space Shuttle Programme. The articles Indian Space Shuttle Programme, RLV Technology Demonstration Programme and Avatar (spacecraft) are highly confusing and an ordinary reader cannot perceive the difference between those projects. If Avatar and ISSP are two different projects, there has to be more than a source suggesting that one of the project, apparently ISSP, was abandoned. But there were no such news of such an abandoned project and to add to this, the word Indian Space Shuttle Programme is the name of a non-existing program!?
are the only lines in the article which suggests avatar is different from ISSP. If that's the case, the first sentence doesn't have a source, and the second sentence is highly confusing. I suspect a WP:CRYSTALBALL. Avatar will also be a single stage system after the test flights. ISSP, as stated in the source, is noted as a vertical take-off vehicle. Coincidentally, RLV-TD is also a vertical take off vehicle. Avatar is an SSTO and RLV-TD is an TSTO. But even this could be challenged by the primary source (ISRO) which states,In the end of 1980s and beginning of 1990s India had plans to develop the small Space Shuttle named Hyperplane that would to be orbited by non-reusable launchers. Then plans differed to project Avatar (spacecraft) as a single-stage system.
since RLV-TD is the first step towards Avatar, does that mean Avatar is a TSTO? The images used in the sources of ISSP are identical to the Avatar or RLV-TD. As only one source suggests that ISSP is different from Avatar which does not coherently explain the aspects, I consider this a WP:CRYSTALBALL and support the deletion. P.S, I reserve the right to change my decision if someone comes with a better explanation/source and clears the dubiousness. --JAaron95 (Talk) 08:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC), edited--05:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)RLV-TD is a series of technology demonstration missions that have been considered as a first step towards realizing a Two Stage To Orbit (TSTO) fully re-usable vehicle.
- Comment I have no knowledge of an Indian space shuttle and so I have no !vote at this time. Note though that this is not a space shuttle, it is an article on a space shuttle, and it is not about a space shuttle itself, it's about the programme around one. So it does not matter if there was a space shuttle or not, there can still be a an article about it. If "Let's build a space shuttle" became a topic of debate in the Indian parliament or ISRO, then that's enough for an article. If it then turned into no more than a political scandal (with no aerospace work at all), but maybe some bribery or pork-barrelling (these things happen a lot around large government programs) then it could still be a notable topic. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Merge to RLV Technology Demonstration Programme and possibly rename Indian space shuttle programme.

- Merge to RLV Technology Demonstration Programme. The information here doesn't need to be in a separate page. APerson (talk!) 18:07, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment This page is a duplicate of an entry in the the World Heritage Encyclopedia: INDIAN SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAMME. Which is released under CC by SA. I don't know enough to say if there is new content here, main new thing is suggestion "In the end of 1980s and beginning of 1990s India had plans to develop the small Space Shuttle named Hyperplane that would to be orbited by non-reusable launchers." Can't find any evidence yet in a google search that it did. If it did, then presumably not a major initiative. If that's so, I'd go with merge, and mention this in one of the other articles. If it didn't, then there doesn't seem to be any new content here at all. Users may search for "Indian Space Shuttle Program" - so I wonder if a redirect might be better than a delete if there is nothing to preserve. Robert Walker (talk) 03:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Note though that this page is an entry in Template:Indian space programme so if decision is made that it is no longer needed, a redirect would be better than a delete, or that template should be edited.
- Comment Another thought - this title is better than the other two as a general article on the Indian space shuttle program, as it covers them both rather than just one or the other project. Maybe this article should be edited to summarize the other two projects, plus any information about a previous space shuttle plan if there was one? Basically take the ledes of the other two articles and merge them back into this one. They are all rather "stubs" - depending on some enthusiast with detailedd knowledge of the Indian human spaceflight program to expand them. So maybe we should just keep them all separate but improve this one in that way... Robert Walker (talk) 03:45, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Robertinventor:: World Heritage Encyclopaedia is a mirror of our article(s). A merge and using this title does appear to be the best option.—SpacemanSpiff 04:54, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Comment I think the name "Indian Space Shuttle" is a media buff. Using it as the name of a page or a section might be confusing as the name space shuttle belongs to that of US RLV. So, naming the section as Indian TSTO might be helpful.Mao Martin (talk) 05:34, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Maoblock evasion- Merge with RLV Technology Demonstration Programme, which is not a great article, but if the two concepts are one and the same, that other title is more neutral.

This article is nearly 5 years old and there is still not a single reliable reference. No indication of notability, and fails WP:NMUSIC. mikeman67 (talk) 15:18, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Rather lavish attention for a group/record that Allmusic only indicates existed (i.e. no write up, no rating, no review). It appears to be either vanity or fan writing. The references are, at their best, to an interview. Otherwise, they're gig notices and reviews in small press. Therefore, I have to agree that the band/record does not pass notability for musicians.

- Keep. In addition to "keep" arguments above, it is significant that the resort was deemed eligible for protection under the "Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission Bureau for Historic Preservation". That probably means that there exists documentation of historic architectural, social or other importance. I'm not very familiar with Pennsylvania's rules, but in other states the designation of eligibility is a high standard, and the only difference between historic-register-listed places vs. these ones is that the owner(s) feared listing would reduce their property value. There's mention of archives of photos which probably have other documentation too. So it's most reasonable to believe there exists plenty of coverage meeting wp:GNG, although probably not available online. --doncram 03:42, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

- Kalika Temple (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I cannot verify the existence of this temple. I've found many temples with similar names throughout India (including at least 2 Maha Kali Mandirs), none of which are in Reasi. Google Earth and Maps reveal nothing; I looked up Reasi bus stand and there's no evidence of a temple nearby. The only information I can find is Wikipedia mirrors, and I also cannot find any images of this temple other than the one on this article. The closest I've found is a Bawe Wali Mata; some sources include information from this article (it seems to also be known as Kali Mata Mandir (note the word order and spelling), hence the possible confusion), which does seem to be real, but I don't think it's the temple this article is referring to, as it's not in Reasi (the article originally said it was in Udhampur, and I can't find any evidence of one there either). Therefore, I think this may be a hoax. If it is, it would be one of the longest-standing ones, having been here for more than 8 years. Adam9007 (talk) 20:38, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Just because there's nothing on the Internet doesn't mean that it is a hoax. For example, some private companies, organizations, and other private places/areas don't have content on the Internet.

- Redirect Staszek Lem (talk) 20:27, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- As a plausible redirect to the parish or the sheriff's office, this is not eligible for deletion (WP:R). Content is mergeable. A7 is absolutely out of the question. A prison is clearly a building. A building is not an organisation. Might well be notable. Not opposed to actually keeping this. The "find sources" links above do not produce all the sources, firstly due to it having other names, and secondly due to Google's problem with speech marks. For example, a search for Natchitoches Parish Jail (without speech marks) in GBooks produces quite a few relevant results that don't come up when speech marks are used (including some that should come up). Reliable coverage is not limited to newspapers, local or otherwise. There is stuff in GBooks, in particular. Had a capacity of 67 in 1981: [22]. (Presumably that means 67 inmates). James500 (talk) 07:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. In fact, in view of the coverage in more than 120 results in GNews for "Natchitoches Parish Detention Center" alone, and the coverage elsewhere, I am positively in favour of keeping this. James500 (talk) 07:48, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- The overwhelming majority of these ghits are passing mentions, usually saying suspect X "was booked into the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center." No in-depth coverage about the facility. • Gene93k (talk) 19:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- A statement to the effect of "X was detained in the prison" is coverage about the prison. It might even be worth mentioning in the article if X is sufficiently famous. Significant coverage is more than one trivial mention, but hundreds of brief mentions might contribute something to notability. I would have thought that the fact that something was constantly in the press was an indicator of notability. It suggests that the prison is impossible, or at least difficult, to ignore. "Overwhelming majority" isn't all of them, so what about the others? The coverage in GBooks looks detailed. For example, the National Jail and Adult Detention Directory contains what looks like an encyclopedia article on the prison. The material in The Last Hayride is not a trivial mention, which, to me, means something like an entry in a phonebook. Neither is the coverage in Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, which gives statistics, over no less than four pages, about the inmates who claim to have been sexually abused there. James500 (talk) 07:18, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Your characterization of those news sources being "about" the jail is not consistent with consensus interpretation of GNG. News stories saying that suspect X was detained there don't become more than trivial and incidental mentions just because there have been hundreds of them because that doesn't in any way help us write an article about the jail itself. And judging from the Gbooks view, the National Jail and Adult Detention Directory is just that, a directory of all jails, which just lists contact info, year of construction, and the names of the sheriff and warden. That's far from an "encyclopedia article". The Last Hayride material talks about the jail only regarding a former sheriff's policies there in the context of a single parish sheriff election. I don't think that or statistics from a national DOJ survey (Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates) provide a basis for a standalone article on this jail, not when you imagine what a spotty and ultimately trivial article would result. I'd expect all state or federal prisons to merit articles, but this is merely a county jail (LA calls counties "parishes"), which the aforementioned Directory said had a mere staff of 5 in 1995 (while prisons may have hundreds). Given all of that, the level of appropriate coverage for this jail would seem to be one or two sentences in an appropriate article noting the jail exists and relating core facts such as capacity, and/or inclusion in a list of prisons/jails/detention facilities for the state. postdlf (talk) 15:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- There is no consensus interpretation of GNG. If there was any consensus, it would by now be included in the guideline in express words. And where would this consensus come from? Show me the specific RfC in question if there is one. What the news stories have done is to compile a lengthy list of people detained in the prison, and the circumstances of their detention, presumably because they consider it important. Otherwise, why keep mentioning it? It would be technically feasible for us to reproduce that, thereby providing a means of expanding the article. BLP might prevent us from including that immediately, but (barring major advances in medicine) it won't apply forever (because, in the present state of things, people do eventually die), and it doesn't affect the notability of a place for which there are other sources. The National Jail and Adult Detention Directory also includes, in addition to the things you mentioned, rated cap, number of staff, number of COs, planned changes (namely a new facility), size of "op budget" (nearly a quarter of a million dollars), "pop" (presumably population/number of detainees), size of cap budget and total admissions: [23]. That looks like a detailed encyclopedia article to me, and some of the articles in the book (for bigger prisons) are even more detailed. For our purposes, a "directory" is a bare list with no annotations other than contact details, like a phone book. It will not mention age or size (whether in terms of numbers of people or the amount of money). Just because a book labels itself as a "directory" doesn't mean it is one for our purposes. Whether The Last Hayride "talks about the jail only regarding a former sheriff's policies there in the context of a single parish sheriff election" is irrelevant, as GNG says that the topic need not be the primary subject of the source. That book discusses the prison directly and at great length. I can't see any grounds for excluding the DOJ statistics either (which I note were republished by a commercial bookseller). I am not convinced that coverage of criticism based on the presence of pornography in, or the absence of religious services from, the prison is a trivial subject (even if federal law is the cause). Statistics on sexual abuse certainly will not make for a trivial article. I don't think that an article based on the available sources would be "spotty", but in any event, I don't see that as a valid objection, as there are many historically important topics for which only "spotty" information is available. And there are other sources in GBooks. I think an adequate description of this jail would take more than one or two sentences (unless they are unusually long sentences). I don't think the number of staff is the relevant number. I think the relevant number is the maximum capacity (which seems to have been 67 prisoners in 1981).

- Trim and merge The list can be trimmed to the six original release characters who get prominent marketing on the official website, and whoever else is designated as main from the TV series and videos, but that can be summarized on the main franchise article. However, the franchise does have 70+ characters with dolls, and has grabbed a notable share from the Barbie franchise. And since I placed the primary and secondary source on this article, I would like that to be retained as useful information. You can exclude the youtube video or convert that to a cite episode.

- Keep and don't merge. It is common in articles to spin off "List of ..." to keep the article from becoming too big. This is a popular doll franchise. We have List of Barbie's friends and family and List of Bratz characters. As Wikipedia attracts more female editors, there will be more articles about female interests. Dolls are an active area for adult collectors. Wikipedia is already home to everything you could possibly want to know about the 721 Pokemon characters. See Category:Lists of Pokémon. StarryGrandma (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Listing them with briefer descriptions as with Barbie's friends and family could work. I would still limit the list to the ones with actual dolls and the main characters from the novels and cartoons, which my 2015 edits have done. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - Let this page stay. It is a good page to list the characters of Monster High regardless if either of them have dolls or not. --Rtkat3 (talk) 22:21, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

The band's only album was released in its own studio, so it doesn't seem to pass criterion #5 from WP:BAND. There are a lot of links that allegedly support the content of the article in a rather unidentified way, but it's not clear which statement is supported by which source, or which of these references make the band notable. Many of these are a passing mention, others are not reliable sources, some I can't even access because of content filters (which says a lot about them). In short, the only claim to notability is WP:GNG, and it's unclear which sources account for notability and how. - Andrei (talk) 15:13, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

- Not sure - My searches actually found more about him such as News (where it says his name was Bernardo), Books (where a 1990 book says "one of pre-war movies* top child stars", Newspapers Archive, (one link about the incarceration) and Highbeam (one link about Lilian Valdez). It's possible some sources are archived, non-English (though the amount of coverage I found was surprisingly in English) and offline. Essentially, he may not be notable and probably received the best coverage for his child acting years (10 years length, 1937-47) until also receiving coverage for killing Lilian Valdez.

- Delete -- no RSes provided to substantiate claims. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 04:47, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - this requires sourcing. Those sources reasonably might be in Arabic and/or offline. Sources may focus primarily on other topics, yet cover this subject in adequate depth. So, for example, sources covering his relationship with his father would be both relevant and useful, even if they principally focused on the father. But in the absence of any sourcing, this is irrelevant cannot be kept. Le petit fromage (talk) 05:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment The "offline reference" (singular: one magazine article, cited twice) that was added is
- El-Baz, Z (2001). "Surrealistic and creative: Mohamed Hassan, the Pharaoh of the mountain". Nisf Al Dunia. 587: 123.
- Nisf al-dunya is an Egyptian women's magazine. A search of their website (here) for El-Feky's name (in Arabic) shows no results. I don't speak Arabic, so I may not be navigating the magazine's website correctly, and it is possible that the magazine does not have archives as far back as 2001, so assuming good faith that this article does exist, it is still only a single article, and in a popular magazine, not in an arts-centric publication, so it still does little to bolster El-Feky's notability as an artist.
- Delete - web searches in Latin script turn up nothing, we can't speculate whether there might be something in Arabic script, either the creator of the article adds some sources in Arabic, or somebody else who can read it does it. So far there's nothing, one off-line source of unknown depth. Kraxler (talk) 19:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

This revision of the article is a direct copy of Strohmayer's entry there, and considering it was edited by user "Strohmayer" about one year before the book was published, I'd say both entries are written by Ulf Strohmayer himself. Btw, I was wrong about Hägerstrand (there is an entry on him in that encyclopedia), but there're still some "geographists" (sic) missing from the book who I'd consider much more important than Strohmayer.

Seems like a WP:PERMASTUB to me, as there is "little important to say about the subject." What could an article for a minor hotel brand include if it was developed into the best article it could be? As for Northamerica1000's sources above. Numbers 1, 2, 4 and 6 are hotel reviews. Are hotel reviews really "significant"? #3 has some news reporting, but the article is focused on the general market conditions for hotels in Singapore and the parent company, Pan Pacific, more than the Parkroyal. #7 is a disguised press release and I have doubts that #5 is a reliable source [34]: "SpiceNews is a free bi-weekly newsletter for the events industry that curates everything new, inspiring and relevant in hotel and venue openings and refurbishments, special events, event suppliers and services, destinations, airlines, as well as the meetings, incentives, conference and exhibition sectors." "Curates" and "everything" are contradictory, and it looks like "everything" wins out. -- Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 20:54, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- I looked at North America's list of sources, and for the most part, agree with Mnnlaxer that a bunch of travel reviews doesn't meet the bar of WP:CORPDEPTH. Redirect or selective merge as suggested. We certainly don't need the table of how many rooms each property has. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:20, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Mnnlaxer says the topic does meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Cunard (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- I said "technically", which means I don't think the subject is notable even though it passes some criteria. -- Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 02:18, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Merge - to Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts; while the article may technically meet WP:CORPDEPTH, most of the coverage is simply related to hotel reviews, the article does not appear that it can be expanded beyond an incomplete stub, and any relevant information can be added to the Pan Pacific Hotels article. Inks.LWC (talk) 22:26, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree with a merge of Parkroyal to Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts. I also disagree that Parkroyal has no potential at growing beyond a permastub. From http://www.parkroyalhotels.com/en/about.html: "The PARKROYAL portfolio comprises 17 hotels, resorts and serviced suites in gateway cities across Asia and Australia, including those under development." The article can be expanded by discussing the history, architecture, and reception of Parkroyal's 17 hotels. The sources Northamerica1000 has pointed out are a good starting point for that. Cunard (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Your quote doesn't prove anything, it is from the company. The article can only discuss those things if there are independent, reliable sources for them. those sources are a good starting point for marketing materials for the Parkroyal. -- Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 02:38, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- The quote verifies the uncontroversial fact that Parkroyal has 17 hotels. Those 17 hotels can be discussed in the article using as a basis the independent reliable sources that Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs) has listed above. News.com.au, The Australian, Bloomberg Businessweek, South China Morning Post, The Jakarta Post, and The Wall Street Journal are all independent reliable sources.

I'm not sure if this is notable as it has received a lot of coverage as shown here, here, here, here and here but nothing actually significant (no notable and in-depth coverage). This has probably received a lot of attention because it's New York although it seems they have been expanding locations.

This article has serious reliability and verifiability problems. The overwhelming majority of this article traces back to John Stevens who is not reliable. Mr. Stevens believes that Tachikawa-ryu persists to this very day as some sort of secret underground sex cult. Additionally Stevens’s “Tantra of the Tachikawa Ryu” is a work of erotic fiction and certainly not a reliable source. The Tachikawa-ryu article on Japanese Wikipedia may or may not have reliable sources, but they aren’t doing this article any good, and there’s no indication that they ever will.
Additionally, parts of the article are written from such a ridiculously in-universe perspective as to be totally incomprehensible. This article has been tagged for years; it’s high time it got deleted. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 01:34, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

- The same argument was made during the last deletion discussion four years ago. Since then these allegedly reliable sources have not found their way into the article.

- Did you read those “two external links and three literary sources” before you put them into the article? In the PDF you linked to the author argues that the manuscripts which can definitely be traced to Tachikawa-ryu do not include any “perverse” teachings. He argues that the skull ritual and other sexual elements attributed to Tachikawa-ryu were wrongly attributed to it and that they should, instead, be attributed to a different unnamed school. The PDF that you linked to directly contradicts the article as it currently exists. It suggests that virtually nothing is known about Tachikawa-ryu except its name, the name of its founder, the date of its founding, and that it was heterodox. If anything this seems to make an even stronger case for deletion because the current article doesn’t describe Tachikawa-ryu, instead it describes the unnamed school that Tachikawa-ryu is wrongly conflated with. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 00:10, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Delete This seems to be at best a case of WP:TOOSOON, and even then only if he improves significantly. I did a quick google search and found nothing more significant in terms of sources that what was used within the first 5 pages of results. FIBA and Iowa State sources wouldn't be independent leaving only a blurb on his euro exploits from a beat writer in the Des Moines Register and one feature article in the same paper that only highlights his lack of notability by pointing out how much of an event it is when he finally gets off the bench. If he's notable in European Circuits, perhaps some English-language sources from there could be found, but otherwise it needs to be deleted. SCMatt33 (talk) 02:55, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well, he's considered to be one of the top talents in both European players and US college players. Being rated in the best players of both Europe and NCAA sophomores, and also a high NBA draft prospect in the coming years. But the article is full of errors. I am trying to fix it.Bluesangrel (talk) 05:14, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- He is not considered one of the top sophomores in the country, I don't know where you got that information. He did absolutely nothing his freshman year at Iowa State. Perhaps the situation is different in Europe, but as of the moment, the article gives absolutely no indication of notability. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 13:44, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- He is considered to be one of the top ranked NCAA freshmen according to draftexpress.com. He did not play a lot because of being a true freshman and being in a stacked front court in Iowa State. If you would actually know about the scouts rankings, and not just the ones that are from before anyone knew who he was in USA, then you would know he is rated as one of top talents in NCAA. Actually, he's ranked that way even in draftexpress.com despite not having played at all basically. He simply was not going to play hardly at all as a true freshman, in such a loaded front court. Especially since he came from being such an inexperienced player in Europe, where he only had played in a small town and not even in the Greek youth program. I would wager money even he is considered a much bigger prospect in USA than he is in Europe. Saying he averaged 1.4 points per game is pretty meaningless on that point, since they never intended for him to play much his first year. Regardless, I can back up that he's definitely considered one of the top NCAA talents. If you want some confirmation, draftexpress.com has him ranked at #62 in the NCAA freshman rankings (which is the highest of the ranking groupings, as each class higher you go the players are less likely to get drafted into the NBA, and remember there are 60 draft picks) and from my personal knowledge of international basketball, I believe that draftexpress.com has the strongest bias against international players of just about any ranking site out there. Here is the NCAA freshman ranking list at draftexpress.com [62] Tsalmpouris was at #62, and most of the players ranked above him already got drafted into the NBA, and the ones that did not are now on NBA mock drafts for the next draft. So yes, he is considered to be one of the top NCAA talents. Regardless of how much playing time he did or did not get as a true freshman in a stacked Iowa State front court. That much is a true issue.Bluesangrel (talk) 19:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- No matter how highly regarded he may be by some (and your evidence doesn't make me think that it is), you have not produced anything which would make me think that he passes WP:GNG. The fact that he never played in a youth program and does not appear to be a big import does not make it seem like he is all that important. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 23:18, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- I was merely stating that he is in fact considered one of the top NCAA talents and prospects and that your opinion that he is not isn't correct. An opinion can be anyone's opinion, but it does not make it right. What the other editor said about that was correct. All I was saying, was the other editor that mentioned that particular thing, which was questioned and claimed as being untrue was telling the truth about that. He is considered one of the top NCAA talents and prospects. We can keep arguing about an individual's personal opinion on here claiming otherwise, but I don't find that to be very constructive. I was not doing anything other than backing up that in fact what that other editor said on that matter was true. Simply because they said something true and they were being called out on it, as if they were lying. And now looks like I am also. If the article does not meet the standard, just say so. If an article does not meet the criteria, say it does not. And we can agree on it. But it's unnecessary to argue and dispute over something trivial like the fact that the player is considered a top NCAA talent, when he is and to accuse on some claiming that. The player can be a top NCAA talent and prospect, while also not meeting the article criteria. It's not mutually exclusive. There is no need to add on other unnecessary commentary. Let's keep it civil please.Bluesangrel (talk)

Unnecessary disambiguation page. "Banishment" redirects to Exile. That page's hatnote should contain a link leading to the only article with the (almost) exact name, The Banishment. The other "entry" is a link leading to Banesh, a village in Iran alternatively spelled "Banish". "Banish" redirects to Exile as well, btw. Potential people looking for the film by its main word "Banishment" type in that word and end up at Exile, where they have to click on a link to take them to the dab page instead of directly to the article. People looking for the village by its alternate name type in "Banish" and end up at Exile as well, where they have to go to a dab page to finally get to the page they're looking for.

This dab is for the two similar words, Banish and Banishment, per WP:DABNAME: When a disambiguation page combines several similar terms, one of them must be selected as the title for the page (with the "(disambiguation)" tag added if a primary topic exists for that term). Putting similar terms on the one dab is quite normal, and in this case, nothing would be gained from separating to two dabs, or adding to the already distracting number of hatnotes at Exile. Boleyn (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. As I said, having a movie by the same title would be an argument for "keep" anyway, so that's how it was looking. What you're suggesting is that we've got a dual dab with a hidden redirect. (That's also a reason why this might be a reason for this debate to not take place here. It's not really an article for deletion, is it?) Hithladaeus (talk) 19:14, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- Why would the one entry be an argument for keep, since the hatnote at the page the term redirects to, Exile, would be sufficient? ps. it says at WP:DAB that AfD is the place to nominate these pages, so that's why it's here. Also, Boleyn kept insisting that was the way to go, so.. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 19:27, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

- I only count 1 valid entry. The others will probably belong on Banish (disambiguation)--provided the two people with the last name "Banish" even qualify (which they don't), since WP:PTM states that articles on people should only be listed on a dab page if they are reasonably well-known by their surname. Those two "entries" don't have an article of their own. Might as well search people on Facebook for "Banish" and starting listing them. Should we also include some black people with the name "Banisha"?
- So to recap, one entry for an article that is ambiguous with the term "Banishment" and two entries for "Banish". Readers can easily be redirected to those pages with a hatnote on Exile. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 19:09, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'd also like to point out that Banish (disambiguation) didn't redirect to this page until it was created about half an hour ago by Boleyn.Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 19:18, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- Of course, before I commented at the AfD I looked at ways to improve the page per WP:ATD, bearing in mind that Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases. Boleyn (talk) 21:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I'd rather have redirected the page to elsewhere and put the one entry in the hatnote on Exile, but since you just revert everything and the discussion led nowhere I was left with no other choice. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 06:16, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment This is a surname and dab page in one, categorised as such, like many dab pages are. Therefore the surname entries are clearly valid, and both meet MOS:DABMENTION. Boleyn (talk) 20:41, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

- Rename to Banish (disambiguation) per the discussion above. Most entries on that page are known as "banish" and it makes more sense to use the root word. Other than that, this disambiguation is fine per Boleyn. Tavix | Talk 03:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- Rename Banish (disambiguation), and banish the film to See also. A redirect hatnote from Exile to The Banishment makes more sense. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:29, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment While were at it, shouldn't Banished be redirected to Exile and its entries merged to Banish (disambiguation) once it's renamed? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 06:16, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. Sounds like a good idea. It bothers me that there would be no directly linked articles (if Banishment were to be jettisoned). Clarityfiend (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment The reason "That's Right" is notable is because of its reviews. (What reviews does "Can't Even C It" have?) I bet that "That's Right" was not "sent to for radio air play ONLY". Ordinarily the title of a non-notable song would be redirected to the article on its notable album, but Introducing...Dina Rae is even more insignificant than "Can't Even C It". —teb728 t c 21:57, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep The article references two books published by the University of Dhaka. The company is also covered in depth in Karim, Muhammad Rezaul (2012). "Sadharan Bima Corporation". In Islam, Sirajul; Jamal, Ahmed A. (eds.). Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh (Second ed.). Asiatic Society of Bangladesh., which I've always found an excellent indicator of notability for Bangladesh-related topics. It's also covered regularly in the press such as in this series of reports about the reintroduction of crop insurance:

- Jahangir, Rahman (26 April 2013). "Motivating farmers for crop insurance". The Financial Express.
