Fails WP:GNG. The settlement has received passing mention in reliable sources that cannot be considered significant coverage. (Note: I'd tagged this article for speedy deletion which was reverted by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz.) Ciridae (talk) 16:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. The nom had tagged the article for speedy deletion as spam/excessively promotional, which was frankly absurd and gives little confidence that their curaory comment about sourcing is correct -- especially since it's contradicted by the very first article in the External Links section. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 16:49, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment. Apologies for not mentioning this earlier. A page with a similar title, Kings colony shastripuram, by the same author was speedy deleted under the G11 criteria. Ciridae (talk) 05:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Per WP:NGEO. Also, how on Earth could this ever meet the WP:CSD? AusLondonder (talk) 02:05, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- @AusLondonder:, how on earth does this satisfy WP:NGEO? How is this of any historic, social, economic, or architectural importance and where are the reliable sources for them? Please note that notability in this case cannot be inherited from events. Ciridae (talk) 03:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Are we thinking of the same notability guideline? The one I'm talking about states "legally recognised, populated places are presumed to be notable" AusLondonder (talk) 07:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- @AusLondonder:, it seems we aren't. Are you talking about WP:GEOLAND? Because I think WP:GEOFEAT should apply, especially Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments. This is a colony of private residences and a non-notable one at that. Ciridae (talk) 09:18, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't believe it is simply a "building" or a "residence". You are correct is is a colony of private residences, just like any other neighbourhood. It therefore meets WP:GEOLAND as a "legally recognised, populated place". Here is an article in The Hindu about the neighbourhood. AusLondonder (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think this article contributes to notability in any manner. Local problems with power, roads etc are normal and this says absolutely nothing about the colony in question (no inherited notability). And I'd still say WP:GEOFEAT will apply here over WP:GEOLAND, since it explicitly covers private residences. And even if GEOLAND applies, this would fall under populated places without legal recognition since it is a housing development and legal recognition is not sourced here. But anyways, these are rather fine points under policy. Ciridae (talk) 07:04, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- I don't understand your point to be honest. Most neighbourhoods consist of private residences. That's the norm. AusLondonder (talk) 15:43, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 10:22, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete at best as I wanted to comment sooner but was also eager to see if anyone else said something. Delete at best because this is still questionable for solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 05:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 14:59, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. The sources (and other apparent coverage from reliable sources like The Hindu) are sufficient to pass WP:GEOLAND's test for neighborhoods, and given the way our coverage of Hyderabad is structured (with more than 200 articles in Category:Neighbourhoods of Hyderabad, India), I don't think it would benefit the encyclopedia to delete a sourced and sourceable article about this particular neighborhood, nor is it feasible to merge this into a broader article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:15, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Yamamoto Ichiro (talk) 16:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- At best, since I'm noticing this is noticeably troubled by votes, I'm willing to change to Keep as this can be improved if needed and reconsider later if needed. SwisterTwister talk 22:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep - I think the key to interpreting WP:GEOLAND is the phrase: "legally recognised, populated place", as AusLondonder pointed out. However, I come to the opposite conclusion, since there is no sourcing to show that it is a "legally recognized" place. I can't find it on any census documentation. Therefore it falls to the second category, "Populated places without legal recognition". And in this instance, the coverage in the Hindu seems to indicate that it, just barely, passes WP:GNG. Unlike corporations, which require more than local coverage to show notability, neighborhoods may only have local notability. That seems to be the case in this instance.

Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Hasn't played for a fully pro club nor has he coached a fully pro club, plus he hasn't received significant coverage. Therefore, he fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. This remains valid. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:55, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:55, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep He appears to have won a national award per WP:NCOLLATH, the NSCAA Assistant Coach of the Year, which seems to be the soccer equivalent of the AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year, so he would appear to qualify under the "the equivalent in another sport" clause of WP:NCOLLATH. That award cited, in part, his influence on the Akron Zips establishing Division I (NCAA) records "with 11 consecutive shutouts and a 39-game unbeaten streak at home" --Ahecht (TALK

- Keep appears to meet both WP:NCOLLATH (due to award win) and GNG. Also, the Akron Zips men's soccer program is a major program similar to programs like Quinnipiac Bobcats men's ice hockey, Johns Hopkins Blue Jays men's lacrosse, Cal State Fullerton Titans baseball - programs outside of football and basketball that are well followed and flagship programs at those schools. The coaches of these programs would be notable due to the coverage the programs receive. RonSigPi (talk) 11:07, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

The result was delete. Poor discussion, but there's only one comment that has attempted to discuss the quality of the sources in any detail, so I'll have to give that more weight. Sandstein 08:05, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Many of the links are dead (Yahoo ones in particular). Basically what I can find is copies of the video with a little text, but very little, and articles that reiterate, almost verbatim, the rules as stated in the article here. If there were sources for the clubs and some sports chatter about leagues and games, it would look better. As it is, it seems to be treated like a passing novelty in the "what's weird" category of the news sites rather than a "living sport". LaMona (talk) 01:01, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to United Premier Soccer League. There is no specific notability guideline for sports teams that requires league or cup appearances. Instead, we must look at WP:ORG and WP:GNG. Unfortunately, it looks like they completely lack non-routine independent coverage that isn't local (all the sources seem to be the Yuma-based Yuma Sun or KYMA) or a press release. --Ahecht (TALK

Unreferenced article about a non-notable dance group. Speedy A7 was challenged. My searches cannot find anything to support notability to the point of inclusion therefore failing WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:GNG. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This source confirms that this group has won several dance awards, including national ones. Other sources can be found by simply clicking on the word "news" in the searches above. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:00, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- Comment The news articles listed are nothing more then mentions that this dance group has won some non-notable dance competitions. There is nothing which speaks about this group in depth or to state they meet any of the inclusion criteria or at the very least garnered any international recognition. Please remember to be clear on which criteria you think that this group satisfies for inclusion. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 17:01, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- By "non-notable dance competitions" I suppose you mean dance competitions that anglophone editors haven't heard of, which isn't something that appears anywhere in our guidelines. This group won national competitions and received national press coverage for doing so. And there is no requirement for international recognition, but in this case some of the sources found by the Google News search are Turkish, so they have garnered some international recognition. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Neutral at the moment.Keep Sources are verifying that the band meets WP:GNG. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:30, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- As I have said, the sources for these claims can be seen in my link above and the news search linked at the top of this discussion. Notability is a function of the sources that exist, not of those cited in the article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:36, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Though if they exist, it's best to put into the article to help verify claims of notability. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- First it's not a band and WP:GNG needs significant coverage these sources are nothing more then mentions of winning a youth competition or obscure, unknown competitions. The articles found so far seem to be all for the same event. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 18:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- There's no mention in any of the sources that these were youth competitions, and the fact that they have been reported on by the national press means that they are not obscure and unknown. This is an encyclopedia of the whole world written in English, not an encyclopedia of only the anglophone world. And this is a band - a band of dancers. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- And I forgot to say that the sources cover several events over a couple of years, so they are not "all for the same event". These deletion discussions get very tiresome when editors insist on sticking to entrenched positions rather than take account of evidence that is presented in the discussion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:42, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Which sources? You have only provided one, the rest I have look at are only about the one competition which was supported by the a youth organization. That being said you are correct I did make the assumption the competition was a youth competition as most youth organizations wouldn't support the adult version of a competition, I apologize. Regardless in my opinion there has not been any substantial coverage on this group to warrant a full article. I'm more then willing to change my opinion but no one here has demonstrated how this group satisfies any of the inclusion criteria. To be clear this is not a band in how it applies to Wikipedia, a band is musical ensemble which a group of people perform instrumental or vocal music. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 21:32, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- This is getting even more tiresome. Look at the Google News search automatically linked by your nomination, that you should have looked at before you saved it, and, even if you don't understand Russian or Azerbaijani or Turkish, look at the dates associated with the sources found. How can you possibly think that they are all about one event when the dates spread out over a couple of years? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:49, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Notable in their own country, but not in the English language.Essentially no references. Prhartcom (talk) 21:21, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

- I appreciate your correct observation that notability has no governmental boundaries, which convinced me to strike my reason. However, as I then stated, there are essentially no cited reliable sources proving notability of the article subject. That is my final word on the matter. Prhartcom (talk) 14:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- It's difficult to conduct a discussion, which this is supposed to be, when one of the participants says that this is their final word on the matter. I would ask you further about what you have said here, pointing out that it's a very strange coincidence that your change of opinion about whether this group is notable in its own country happened at the exact same time that you conceded that notability has no governmental boundaries, but there is obviously no point. To anyone else reading this, because Prhartcom has no interest, I would say that this is a pretty obvious example of someone who is unwilling to change an opinion when evidence is presented that it is wrong. That attitude is completely antipathetic to the process by which we are supposed to make decisions here by discussion leading to consensus. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

- I have not asked anyone to change their opinion, but quite the opposite. I have questioned why an opinion that this group was notable in its own country was changed. The editor in question has said that this was their final word on the subject, so discussion with that editor is now impossible. AfD discussions are supposed to be discussions, not final words. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 23:13, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Please write in the same way that you would speak to someone face-to-face, rather than obscure your comments with convulated syntax and nonsensical semantics. I'll first try to make sense of your specific points. Are you saying that being "sufficiently and thoroughly improved" is necessary to keep an article? What searches did you perform? What did they find "nothing better" than? What changes are needed? And, to get away from your specific points, as this is supposed to be a discussion rather than a succession of random comments uninformed by the prior discussion, what do you make of the sources that have been linked to above? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Not notable. The only reference that's not self-sourced, BBC News, is about a woman running a marathon, and it only mentions the ICC Trust in passing. The other two references are a representative of the Trust speaking on Youtube, and a paid WordPress promotional press release (SynapseIndia). Using Youtube and Wordpress as "sources" is a good indication that no actual third-party sources exist, and sure enough, Google finds nothing. I prodded this article and the prod was removed by an experienced editor (User:AusLondonder) with the edit summary "Borderline case. Times of India coverage found as well." I have inquired what that coverage was,[7] as I can't find it, but the user has not edited since removing the prod and so has not replied. It's concerning to me firstly that this "Times of India coverage" is unspecified — the user didn't add the reference and I can't find it — and secondly that the Times of India is in any case not much of a reliable source for notability nowadays. Compare this comment on another AfD by DGG who is highly experienced in these matters. Bishonen | talk 10:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC). Bishonen | talk 10:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as non-notable company. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 12:22, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. When an article has to rely on such incidental mentions as that " Tara Twyman, from Uckfield in East Sussex, is aiming to raise £5,000 for the International Chandramauli Trust" it can safely be assumed to be non-notable (That, btw, is a mention in a BBC story about a local women running a marathon, not an Indian newspaper, but that does make it a more substantial source for information about the trust (nor for an article about the person--all news sources publish trivial human interest stories).
- Incidentally, I would not say that the Times of India is altogether useless for notability in everything: -in the previous AfD mentioned I said that I and other editors working with topics in the arts & business have come to think coverage by that (and other Indian newspapers) as worthless for notability "in the arts and applied arts and probably business also. -- I no longer regard coverage by them as proof of anything but that the person has a press agent." In other fields, I have less experience with that source, and do not want to judge. DGG ( talk ) 15:44, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I have now replied to the nominators message at my talkpage. I removed the PROD as I don't believe this is a clear-cut, uncontroversial deletion. The source from the Times of India is here. There is also this. Regarding the reliability of the Times of India, if any editor believe that newspaper is not reliable in any circumstance I think they should raise a broad discussion at WP:RSN. I would strongly and completely dispute that characterisation of the Times. I also question whether any searches have been conducted in other Indian languages, especially Hindi? AusLondonder (talk) 16:07, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- An interview with Shamit Khemka (a promotional bio currently on AfD) is far from being an independent source that confirms notability. Khemka is the CEO of SynapseIndia, which is closely connected with International Chandramauli Charitable Trust. As for the mention in TI, it's this sentence in a longish feature about an International Yoga Day celebration:
Several vedic students of International Chandramauli Charitable Trust, under supervision of English woman, H Lucy Guest and trustee of the trust, Devatma Dubey performed over 20 asanas at the Ghat.
I don't regard that as significant independent coverage or recognition; it's a mention in passing, just like the BBC mention. I don't see any depth of coverage at all, unless we're to count the self-promotion at YouTube and WordPress. But I haven't indeed done any searches in Hindi, I don't read Hindi. Perhaps somebody else here does? Bishonen | talk 17:11, 11 April 2016 (UTC).
- Thanks for your reply. I agree the sources so far aren't fantastic, indeed they are probably not enough for me to argue in favour of keeping the article. But this is why I prefer AfD's to PRODs for organisations with some notability. Hopefully, someone with Hindi language skills (or other Indian languages such as Tamil, Bengali or Punjabi) will search for sources in those languages. AusLondonder (talk) 17:17, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- An interview with Shamit Khemka (a promotional bio currently on AfD) is far from being an independent source that confirms notability. Khemka is the CEO of SynapseIndia, which is closely connected with International Chandramauli Charitable Trust.

- Delete India's tax based corporate social responsibility requirement makes it imperative for reasonably sized companies to 2% of net profits on CSR, so the fact that any one company contributes to an NGO is of no significance. There's no other significant coverage either. There's nothing borderline about this, and on a more serious point considering cases like this as "borderline" is what causes the systemic bias problem on Wikipedia -- genuine topics don't get the time and attention they deserve because anything under the sun is now thought to be probably notable because of a lack of evidence to the contrary and editors have to spend time to analyze these topics instead. —SpacemanSpiff 03:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

I have gone through the history of this article in some detail. There is little doubt that the subject itself is notable, but every single revision I can find contains nothing other than copy-pastes from the primary source (the legislation itself) and "in popular culture" references, most of which are also primary sources - the mere existence of a thing called 5150 is asserted to be a pop culture reference.

I do not believe the content is useless, I do not believe WP:TNT applies. Yes, it may be a mess. But, it's a controversial topic dealing with mental health and the law.

Delete with strong prejudice against a redirect unless and until someone finds sources (I did not).Of the former AfDs, one was a delete, one was a "no consensus per lack of comments".

- Speediest Possible Delete As non notable article in every way. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 19:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to melee weapon. It looks like it started out as a Slavic term for melee weapons or non-firearms. Here is a mention in a book from 1876, a Russian book on Third Reich cold weaponry, a definition of a "cold weapon" in some Kosovo legislature (page 3). Also a search for "cold weapon" on Pinterest or Ebay will show hits for melee weapons. Hence, this term is not just made up one day. But neither is it notable; I doubt there is much beyond definitions out there. Accordingly, I would recommend a redirect to melee weapon. --Mark viking (talk) 23:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Redirect per Mark viking, or perhapssoft redirect to wiktionary per below. While thin, there does appear to be some reliable support for the term (here is a recent book using the term). —Nizolan (talk) 01:38, 12 April 2016 (UTC)- Comment - redirecting to melee weapon is problematic because ranged weapons such as bows are also "cold weapons" (i.e. lacking explosives). List of premodern combat weapons would be appropriate if the list didn't contain list of premodern combat weapons#Gunpowder weapons. wikt:firearm#Antonyms: "cold weapon" and "white weapon" are red at wikt.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 05:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Per Mark Viking's links, the term "cold weapon" is used specifically to refer to melee weapons (and rather modern ones, at that). So (unless there is a source to that effect) deciding to include bows and the like would be at best WP:OR. TigraanClick here to contact me 08:50, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Tigraan: Look at page four of that source: "1.33. 'Optic sight' means special equipment for firearms or cold weapons, which is designed as a sight or optical device used to assist aim by guiding the eye and aligning it with a weapon or other item to be pointed. An optic sight may be used to enhance hunting and sport arms used respective authorized purposes, as authorised by the competent body as a shooting or hunting association." Optic sights are not placed on melee weapons.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 22:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Soft redirect might be the best option in that case. I started a page at wiktionary, which can be fleshed out with a couple of quotations from the citations given in this discussion (I added the Kosovo law and the Chinese sword book). —Nizolan (talk) 22:49, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Keep the page alive. Anthony Rodriguez (pianist) has won a Major Award, 2005 Bronze Telly Award - Composer and pianist to the soundtrack of the "Tangys Song" This film was played in the BET channel and in Festivals. The soundtracks in this film were played and has Anthony Rodriguez's musicality in the film. IMDb There are notable musicians that are successful and self-released, holding distribution deals just like Anthony. The search has to be executed better. This Article has notability. Please consider removing this nomination for deletion.StrongWik (talk) 18:23, 12 April 2016 (UTC) — StrongWik (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Bronze Tellys are not major awards, they are more akin to confetti. From the way this Wikipedia article is written it appears the film won the Telly, not Rodriguez. There is also no independent verification from a credible source. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Not a major award? I would have to respectfully disagree with that. The Telly Awards is a huge award. Rodriguez along with the whole production team won. It's like an album winning a Grammy, everyone involved wins the award. Each person played an important role in getting the project an award. Just because to you its an akin confetti, doesn't mean it is. I've been researching Anthony Rodriguez throughout the day, along with other articles in which I will edit tomorrow sometime. There needs to be respect for all types of awards and some in here clearly agree with my prior statement. I stand with this article and I ask again to please consider removing the nomination of deletion. Whatever can be done to better the article, I will try to do so. Thanks. StrongWik (talk) 02:09, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- The only thing huge about the Telly Awards is the huge number they sell. 1200 silver and 3000 bronze. Unlike winning a grammy (Grammies decide who gets it) anyone involve can say they "won" a Telly just so long as the pay their fee. Unlike Grammies, buyers of Bronze tellies are not announced by the organisers, lists are not published in the media. Noone would know who "won" unless the "winner" announces it themselves after paying for the right to do so. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I did manage to find some sources that appear to meet the criterion for WP:GNG, such as this interview, this review, this article, this source, this interview, this interview, and this one. Is there enough to assert significant coverage? I think so - there's enough coverage where no original research is needed in order to extract information and create an article. The issue I'm having is with WP:NMUSIC and WP:NAUTHOR. I don't believe that the article subject meets any notability criterion involving people. He doesn't seem to meet WP:NMUSIC, as his music doesn't appear to have reached any national charts or won any national or notable awards. I also don't believe that the person meets WP:NAUTHOR as well, as his literary work hasn't made him a significant or important figure or monument nor has it originated a new concept. Sure, having your book as an Amazon best-seller is great, but I couldn't locate any independent sources outside of Amazon that discuss his success as an author or any national awards that his books have won. Falling back to WP:ANYBIO, he hasn't won a significant award or honor and he hasn't made a widely recognized contribution that is part of any enduring historical record (or history). So, he doesn't appear to meet that guideline as well. When it comes to the general notability guideline, I think that is arguable if the requirements are met or not - sources do exist that appear to check out. However, when it comes to asserting the notability of the article subject as a person, I think he still falls short. Hence, I am going with delete. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

And go after Articles that are actually wasting space here on Wiki. For someone that seems to like accusing and trying to SABOTAGE an image, you're doing a great job at it.

- Keep I understand what you guys are saying. At the same time, the kind of feature you're talking about it tantamount to expecting a media outlet to write a profile piece or feature about another media outlet. While this certainly does happen, it's worth remembering that media outlets are essentially in competition, so the kind of extensive "profile piece" or full feature (as happened with FTL Moda, who is a show producer) may not be very common. I feel the breadth of the citations, along with the content (interviews with industry people who thought it was worthwhile to give the interviews), makes the case the website is notable enough to keep. Although, admittedly, I am no expert. : ) Polarisminor (talk) 13:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Contested speedy (nominated as A7 by User:NottNott and contested by User:Adam9007). I think Adam's rationale, "I'd say being discussed on notable online platforms is significant.", is on the money: there's probably enough here to satisfy CSD, but where are the reliable sources? At the moment the article relies upon a combination of self-published/automatically generated sources, the channel's own videos, and online forum debates.
The sources that come closest to establishing notability at the moment are:
- http://food.ulifestyle.com.hk/restaurant/news/feature/%E7%85%AE%E9%A3%9F%E7%B4%85%E4%BA%BA+%E9%A3%9F%E8%AD%9C+%E7%85%AE%E5%AE%B6%E7%94%B7%E4%BA%BA
- https://yahoo-food.myguide.hk/d/2014111737376/
But these seem to fall short as well (although the first is promising). Perhaps someone not as reliant as me on Google Translate could glance over, and also help in a good faith search for additional sources? Thanks! As it stands, for the reasons outlined above, I think this probably fails WP:GNG.

Contested PROD. The only thing even close to a third party source is this. A single review from a site that makes a point to review as much as they can does not meet WP:GNG, and most certainly does not meet WP:NSOFT.

I'd like to stay neutral in this but I vehemently disagree with the statements "Softpedia is not a third-party source", "not unaffiliated with the software" and especially "as consensus has previously shown". Softpedia is a web mirror and independent reviewer. It is used in Featured Articles too. As far as WP:N is concerned, Softpedia can both host and adore Q4OS and retain its status as reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- When Softpedia says "You can download Q4OS 1.4.3 right now from Softpedia" it brings into question the claim that it has nothing to do with Q4OS. Regardless, it takes more than a questionable Softpedia review and another run-of-the-mill review to create notability. - Aoidh (talk) 11:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- You are implying that the only web mirrors are evil web mirrors that have ulterior motives. RealNetworks made the same assumption when it sued Hilbrand Edskes for hosting a link. Of course, the UN court judge dismissed this assumption and made RealNetworks pay €48,000 in damages.
- Best regards,
- Codename Lisa (talk) 12:19, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not implying any such thing. Not being independent of a subject does not make the source "evil" or have "ulterior motives". It just makes it insufficient to establish notability. - Aoidh (talk) 13:07, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- You made it worse. Now you are saying all websites that host something are connected to that thing in such a way makes their opinion worthless. i.e. if I have a file on my computer, I am in cahoots with its creator. AFAIK, a web mirror can even receive money for mirroring a file and still be independent from the subject itself. —Codename Lisa (talk) 17:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Also not what I said, nor is your example relevant to what I'm saying. I've explained why it's not an independent source, but you're arguing against things I've never said. - Aoidh (talk) 23:11, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- In the last two message, we have established that evil web mirrors with ulterior motivations are not the only mirrors and hosting alone does not imply affiliation. So, what connects the dots? The thing that carries Softpedia away from unaffiliated mirrors and makes it a "not unaffiliated" mirror. What is it? Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 20:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- I gotta be honest, I'm really not sure what you're talking about here. You're talking about "evil web mirrors with ulterior motives" and arguing against that, but I've certainly said nothing even close to that. I've explained why it's not independent of the software, you're going on about "evil" things instead of addressing what I said. - Aoidh (talk) 06:09, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- But I generally agree that one review alone, be it in Softpedia, PC Magazine, PC World, Computerworld, Ars Technica or The Verge, is far from sufficient to establish notability. —Codename Lisa (talk) 17:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - Significant coverage in reliable sources: [9], [10] ~Kvng (talk) 03:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. Lack of high quality sources. I cannot find any relevant hits on Google Books or Google Scholar. Google News returns some not very prestigious sources such as Softpedia and LinuxInsider, but no mentions in the more established IT industry trade press, no mentions in the academic journals or conference proceedings. Linux distributions are a dime a dozen (it is so easy to start a new one simply by forking an existing one), so I think a higher bar of notability should apply to minor Linux distributions, and I don't believe this distribution meets that bar. I think a good test (but maybe not a decisive test) for the notability of Linux distributions is whether LWN.net covers them in depth (i.e. any coverage beyond mention on the LWN Linux Distributions List, which aims to be exhaustive and hence isn't a good indicator of notability) – and this distribution fails that test.

WP:BLP, edging in an advertorial direction, of a musician with no strong or properly sourced claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC. The awards he's claimed to have won do not count as "major" ones for the purposes of NMUSIC #8, Earshot is a campus radio chart that does not count toward meeting #2, and the concert tour is sourced to smalltown community weeklies that are not widely distributed enough to count toward meeting WP:GNG. And outside of the community weeklies, all of the other sourcing here is to primary sources and YouTube videos that cannot assist notability either. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which any musician is entitled to an article just because he exists -- real reliable source coverage in media, properly supporting a legitimate claim of notability, must be present for him to earn one, but nothing stated or sourced here is enough.

- Comment: Assam, with population 26.6 million, is bigger than Australia and all but 48 of the world's nations. For what "X"s do we have "List of awards and winners for films from X"? If there are such list-articles then compiling at level of an Indian state is not obviously bad. But I don't see others within Category:Lists of Indian award winners and it is the only article titled exactly "List of awards and winners for films from...".

- Well yes its populated than many countries but also is 15th in population rank within India. That means there is potential of at least 14 more articles if some patriot decides to utilize his time in this remote clubbings. The point here is that how justified it is to have state-wise lists when other categories are already in use. We have these list by awards and list by individuals and then individuals are already clubbed by categories and thereby can be surfed state-wise.

Very highly promotional article, for a person of very slight notability. No notability by WP:PROF -- none of the work is significantly cited. Nor is a position of Adjuct Clinical Assistant Professor notable--it's about as low in the medical school hierarchy as one can get. No notability independent of the company or the product (I'd suggest the one necessary article be that of the product). The promotionalism is shown by: 1/ over personal material--nobody reading an encyclopedia would care who her brother might be, Nor is there any encyclopedic interest in her childhood attempt to sell a home--made rabbit fur purse. Nor on the fact that she had bad skin as a teenager, leading to an interest in cosmetics. This sort of trivia -- -trivia that furthermore can have no independent source except what she chooses to say to people about her motivations-- is the essence of promotional press releases. 2/ Emphasis upon her motivations to develop the company then and later--again, this is just her promoting herself as she pleases, wherever it may have been reprinted. That other publications will reprint such stuff shows their irresponsibility; WP does not have to add to it. 3/adjectives of praise throughout: "novel", for example,being used for a medical treatment based upon unacceptable non-MEDRS compliant sources--in particular a claim of success in treatment based on SFgate. Other examples: "more personalized and consultative sales approach" 4/ exaggeration based upon biased use of titles of sources: she's not America's richest self made women, which would be notable if proven by a reliable historical sources, but #42 (out of the 50 on a Forbes list). (and see also the material already deleted from the article by Doc James and Dirroli.
Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason.

Keep - The article is oozing with promotionalsim right now, but the woman is clearly notable for being one of the inventors of Proactiv, an extremely well known and highly publicized acne product. She's no different than Post-it notes inventor Spencer Silver, Gatorade inventor Robert Cade, or anyone else who invented a very famous product. There's enough meat on the bones to have an acceptable little article once the spammy language and unimportant details are eliminated. By the way, I disagree when DGG when they say "nobody reading an encyclopedia would care who her brother might be". Actually, he's a federal judge, as is her father, and they both have Wikipedia articles. But even if they weren't notable, so what? An endless number of biographies includes basic employment information about the parents in the early life section, and mention their siblings (including their employment if they're notable). So, yes, the overtly promotional language needs to be removed, but there's no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater.Dirroli (talk) 04:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)- Delete - I originally supported keeping the article, but I just did a search for coverage focused solely on Rodan in reliable sources and couldn't find much. She was featured in Forbes last year,[11] but there's very little of significance beyond that. The vast majority of coverage I found was about Rodan and Fields (combined) and always focused Proactiv, not them. I also learned that Rodan and Fields aren't even the owners of Proactive; Guthy-Renker and Nestlé are.[12] On the surface, it was originaly hard to believe that a person who invented a product as famous as Proactiv isn't enyclopedically notable. But based on this new information, I am fine with DGG closing this AfD and restoring the speedy deletion template if that's what he/she would like to do. Dirroli (talk) 05:56, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete When sources describing someone as a "best doctor" is used it is nearly always spam.[13] I received an invite to be a "best doctor" a while ago and looked into it.

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:56, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Doc James. You wanted some proof. Well, the article was created by user "Slestrella". Googling the name Estrella along with Katie Rodan will lead you right to the promoter. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:31, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- I am probably wrong. It seems that if you google Katie Rodan and pretty much any name, you get a "consultant" who promotes/sells this stuff. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:51, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- I asked Slestrella, below, if they have a personal or professional connection to Rodan (friend, relative, colleague, PR person, Procativ salesperson, etc.), but they haven't answered. The determination of whether Rodan is notable or not will have to stand on its own merits, but it sure seems like it was written by someone who was asked or paid to do it. I don't know what the rules are on that, but I hope Slestrella will explain their connection, if any, to Rodan. Dirroli (talk) 00:24, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Dirroli, I'd like a response from Slestrella too. Slestrella brought it to this state before others started editing it. That looks very much like a promo piece by a paid editor to me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

14:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC) - Delete Per the reasoning of User:DGG and User:Docjames. Rodan doesn't seem to be recognized as a pioneer in dermatology though she did originate a product that was very successful in the marketplace. It appears she is no longer listed among the owners of Proactiv. If she was continuing to launch new business ventures then possibly she would be notable in the 'Forbes' sense. But our article has nothing about that. EdJohnston (talk) 19:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as non notable promotion piece. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 19:30, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- I thought the same things initially, but then I did a search for coverage about her in reliable sources and came up almost empty. Can you please provide links to any coverage from reliable sources that is focused solely on her, and not her product (Proactiv) or business (Rodan + Fields)? I listed the Forbes article (above) also as one good piece, but I could find almost nothing else of significance that was just about her as opposed to Proactiv. Dirroli (talk) 07:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
This article is no more personal or promotional than other Wikipedia articles on other successful entrepreneurs and medical professionals who have started companies, invented products, or written books. In response to DGG on lack of notability: I included her role as "adjunct professor" to add academic credibility only. Her notability is as a successful female entrepreneur who has invented skincare products that transformed skincare in the area of acne (Proactiv), and now in the area of aging (Rodan + Fields). Further, on evidence of promotionalism: 1/I modeled the early life of Katie on the Wikipedia pages for Kevin Plank (founder of Under Armour) and Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx). That Kevin is "one of five brothers" and his father was a prominent land developer, or that Sara is the daughter of a trial attorney and an artist is equally personal. Based on these published examples, this article is being unfairly penalized and held to a different, arbitrary standard. 2/The public is interested in Katie as a successful female entrepreneur and the story about the rabbit fur purse, published in a medical journal, is not about her leap to skincare. It is about her history and credibility as an entrepreneur. This is no different than Kevin Plank's story about selling roses in college as his first foray into starting and running his own business. The fact that she had bad skin as a teenager is directly relevant to her motivation to focus on dermatology and skincare in the same way Kevin Plank's profuse sweating during football practice led to his search for a better fabric and the invention of UnderArmour athletic wear. 3/The word "novel" is not praise. In the context of the article it explains the shift in concentration and protocol for applying Benzoyl Peroxide to achieve sustainable acne prevention, as described in the cited references. Would the word "new" or "different" be acceptable? Regarding the treatment numbers referenced in SF Gate, that was for a focus group as stated in the article, not as evidence of clinical trials for the product, and there was no misrepresentation. 4/I did not write that the subject (Katie) was "America's Richest Self-Made Women." I stated she was one of America's Richest Self-Made Women per the Forbes article title and listed her ranking very clearly (#42), similar to Sara Blakely's ranking as the 93rd most powerful woman in Forbes. On general notability, there are 50 million people in the United States who suffer from acne, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, and 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 24 are affected. This is a very large constituency that is interested in this article about the successful skincare inventions of Katie Rodan, the person behind the products (Proactiv and Rodan + Fields), similar to the way Kevin Plank has a page separate from Under Armour and Sara Blakely has a page separate from Spanx. In addition, the 2012 US Census states that 36% of all businesses are owned by women (an increase of six percentage points since 2007), a second large constituency that would be interested in Katie Rodan as a successful, self-made entrepreneur. This is not motivated by a promotional campaign. It is of social interest to a very large, combined constituency that deserves this article, and being a dedicated Wikipedia user, I was surprised it was not already written. I think it's unfair to delete this article based on the subject's notability given her contributions and the public's interest in this person and topic. Regarding concerns of promotionalism, this article should be held to the same standard as pages for other entrepreneurs and skincare experts who found similar success. Citing her success as an inventor/entrepreneur/skincare expert is not promotionalism, but published evidence of her path to success, similar to the “promotional” content on the pages of other successful entrepreneurs, including Kevin Plank and Sara Blakely. slestrella 07:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Please see WP:NOTE, WP:BIO, and WP:NOTADVERTISING. Many people who have general notability in life for their successes are not "Wikipedia notable", which requires substantial coverage specifically about the person (as opposed to their product or business) in reliable sources. Can you please provide links to reliable sources (besides the Forbes piece) with coverage that is focused on Rodan herself, and not Proactiv or Rodan + Fields? Also, I see you created the Katie Rodan article. Do you have any type of personal or business/professional connection to her? Dirroli (talk) 07:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I disagree with the reasoning of User:Dirroli just above. Note that as per WP:NAUTHOR the a creative person may be considered notable solely through that person's work, with little or no sourced discussion specifically of the person. Just above this the guideline says: "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." The same standard should be applied to inventors, and perhaps to entrepreneurs. This seems to me to be such a case. Coverage on Rhodan's work, alone or together with Fields should be a perfectly sufficient basis to write and retain and article about her. DES (talk) 22:40, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- But she's not notable as an author, and the "many scientists..." quote applies to academics. She's clearly not notable as an academic either. Her notability, if any, would be as an inventor (of Proactiv), but my reading of the notability standards indicates she doesn't qualify. Also, your belief that the same standard should be applied to inventors or entrepreneurs is much different than it actually being the standard. Almost all the meaningful coverage in reliable sources is about her and Fields, not her alone, so perhaps there should be an article for Rodan + Fields, rather than Rodan herself. Dirroli (talk) 01:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The coverage from People Magazine and Forbes show the general public and the business community are interested in her as well as the medical community. I think the article needs to be adopted by the "Women" project and "Jewish women" project to improve the writing and add the many available and reliable references. What I found is that the article uses her nickname for her first name and her married name as her last name, when some reliable references are available with her maiden name or real first name. I found more on JSTOR than what's included here. Let's keep it and improve it. Bruriyah (talk) 01:07, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- What coverage in People? Please provide a link. You're not the first editor here to say that there's enough coverage of her (as opposed to Rodan + Fields or Proactiv) to qualify her as notable, so can you please provide links to what you found. I'm very open to changing my mind (again). Thanks. Dirroli (talk) 01:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Dirroli Here is the reference: July 15, 2002 Vol. 58 No. 3 The article is called "Saving Face" By Galina Espinoza
Subtitle: "Developed for Adult Acne Sufferers, Kathy Fields and Katie Rodan's Proactiv Line Is An Unblemished Success" Link: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20137526,00.html Hope that helps. While the Wikipedia article mentions that Rodan is covered in several newspapers, magazines and journals, not all of them appear on the reference list, and I think the most important ones were left off the reference list. But I believe we shouldn't delete the article simply because the references were't added---they just need to be available. The Wright Brothers also usually get written about together and they're almost always mentioned with the airplane, but they still deserve separate article. I will try to add some to the article. Bruriyah (talk) 05:39, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Bruriyah, thanks for providing that link. My concern, again, is that the story is focused heavily on Rodan + Fields and Proactiv, not Rodan herself. But at least it has some content about Rodan (and Fields) that has nothing to do with her partnership or the product. However, comparing Rodan + Fields to the Wright brothers didn't persuade me; it actually made me laugh (not kidding). If someone can show me a specific provision within WP:NOTE or WP:BIO that unquestionably qualifies Rodan as notable solely for being the co-inventor of Proactiv, then I will change my "vote" from delete to keep. Because I don't see anything else that makes her notable. Dirroli (talk) 23:52, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Weak delete - I was simply unable to evaluate this article with all the cruft, so I stripped it down: [14]. I know that is a little gauche to do during an AfD; apologies but it seemed necessary in this case. I am simply not seeing coverage that would meet the guideline at WP:BASIC. @Bruriyah, VanEman, and DESiegel: what three sources did you find most helpful in determining that you considered this subject notable? VQuakr (talk) 07:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- VQuakr, I don't think it hurts during this process to improve the writing in an article, and it doesn't hurt to add more references. But in the process of trying to improve the article, you apparently stripped out the names of magazines that the article claims she was in, making it more difficult for anyone looking for better references and coverage than what's already quoted. I think the article also suffers from the fact that whatever reference template the original writer used just gives you a link, but doesn't show the source's name, like Wall Street Journal, in the reference list at the bottom, so it takes a lot of work to find out where the best coverage is. Bruriyah (talk) 23:59, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Bruriyah: feel free to revert; I can always link to the history if I wish to reference the de-peacocked version. That said, a list of mentions in various magazines hardly warrants inclusion anywhere in the article. To which WSJ reference are you referring? This? That one only has one sentence in it about the subject. Any progress on sharing the "top three" sources that I requested? VQuakr (talk) 01:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think VQuakr makes an excellent point with regard to the claimed mentions in various mainstream publications. The actual sentence (before it was removed from the lede) said that Rodan has been "quoted or profiled" in numerous high-quality, mainstream publications (and then listed about a dozen of them). That claim comes across as very mysterious and euphemistic, particularly when we have no idea what comprised those quotes or profiles. Like VQuakr, I've asked supporters of keeping the article to please provide links to several sources they believe validate Rodan's notability. My concern is that there is too much rhetoric about the subject's notability, and not enough hard evidence to back it up. As I've said a few times, if the fact that she's a co-inventor of Procativ isn't enough to establish her notability, then "keep" supporters need to provide three or four links to sources that they believe do. Dirroli (talk) 02:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you all for the thoughtful debate. (I am new to this forum, so please pardon my protocol for labeling my contributions to this debate.) In response to Dirroli above, thank you for the additional WP sources. In addition to the WP editing sources you mention, I also relied on WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:CS, and WP:NPV, and looked to other published Wikipedia biographies for examples on language and tone. In terms of credible sources, I started with the NY Times, the Wall Street Journal (this and this), Forbes, Business Insider, SF Gate, and People. Once I had a base that felt substantial in terms of establishing Katie's notability, I brought in her patents, books, and other sources to add the "human" touch, in the same spirit as other Wikipedia BLPs I've read. There was a lot of press I did not include that seemed overtly promotional which I can provide links to if anyone is interested. I totally get the concern here, and am simply doing my best to use the WP guides and existing precedent of comparable biographies to fill what seems like an oversight in your encyclopedia. In terms of my relationship with Katie, I have helped her periodically with slides for speaking engagements. slestrella (talk) 14:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC).
- Hi slestrella, thanks for your reply. All those sources are quite consistent in they seem (to me at least) to fail substantial depth, as discussed at WP:BASIC. Most carry variations of the same one- or two-sentence blurb about the subject and are mostly about the product or company. We already have that level of information at Proactiv. VQuakr (talk) 15:28, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- I fully agree with VQuaker. None of the sources presented so far have in-depth coverage of Rodan that establishes her notability. They simply don't meet the WP:BASIC threshhold. There's plenty on Proactiv/Rodan + Fields, but not on Rodan herself, other than the Forbes piece. Relying on a single source isn't enough. Dirroli (talk) 03:09, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep This one seems like an obvious keep to me. Relatively new article, good references are available. Notability clear from Forbes article (most other Top 50 candidates near Rodan in the ranking have Wiki articles, like Martine Rothblatt, Sonia Gardner, Marissa Meyer,Nora Roberts, Lynda Weinman, Pleasant Rowland, Susan Wojcicki.

- ETA - I spot checked a few of the others from the 30-50 range of that Forbes list. It seems hit and miss. Unconvincing either way IMHO; the examples you gave are notable because they meet WP:BASIC, not because they are on a Forbes list. VQuakr (talk) 01:44, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Rocky, being on a Forbes list by no means makes one notable by default. Each person must still must have their notability established based on WP:NOTE and WP:BIO. Keep in mind, also, that many people with articles on Wikipedia are not actually notable. That's why we have a process like this (AfD). So it's an invalid argument to say because A is on Forbes and is notable, then B on Forbes must be notable too. And, yes, the Rodan article has been heavily edited the past several days.

- Hmlarson, I'm sorry but you're incorrect. Rodan does not meet WP:GNG criteria. One of the vital provisions within WP:GNG is WP:SIGCOV, which says "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail". Yes, the existing sources do mention Rodan, but almost none of them address her in detail. We have too many editors claiming notability, yet providing no links here to sources that have significant coverage of Rodan (the subject), rather than Proactiv or Rodan + Fields. So, please, someone provide links here to at least three solid sources (besides Forbes) that address Rodan herself in detail. If you can show me that, I will change my "vote" from delete to keep.

- Comment - Someone had the nerve to insert Rodan's WebMD biography as a reliable source to three different claims in the article, even though doctors submit their own biographies to that website. I removed them.[15] I'm not saying I doubt anything being claimed in her self-written bio, but if there's actually significant coverage of her in truly reliable sources, then no one would need to add crap sources like that to the article. Dirroli (talk) 21:23, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I see that the article's creator, Slestrella, has acknowledged their direct connection to Rodan, saying "In terms of my relationship with Katie, I have helped her periodically with slides for speaking engagements."[16] Thank you for revealing that, Slestrella. Can you please provide more clarification by expanding on your relationship with Rodan? Do you work with or for her in any other capacity? Are you involved in selling or promoting Proactiv or Rodan + Fields in any way? Are you a relative or personal friend of hers? Finally, were you paid to write/edit her Wikipedia article, or did she (or an associate of hers) ask you to do it? Please answer each of these questions. Thanks for your candor. Dirroli (talk) 21:39, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I think it's time to remind ourselves of basic Wikipedia etiquette like "Don't BITE the newcomers" and "Assume Good Faith." IMHO a few editors here are spending too much energy insulting the writers and commenters or interrogating them. I'm a relative newcomer, and Dirroli I do not appreciate your saying that I "had the nerve" to enter a "crap" reference like WebMD. I think it's time to check out the etiquette page. On the article itself: This article might be especially difficult because Rodan doesn't fit neatly into one compartment. She's a physician, professor, product inventor and developer, business owner and executive, and an expert the media likes to call on regarding dermatology topics. So I think it's important to use good judgment and common sense. Finally, notability doesn't require that all the references be there in the article. We just have to have good reason to believe they're available. And since this article was first nominated for deletion, editors who read it before found out that People Magazine wrote an article featuring her (it was referenced, but the title wasn't visible in the reference listing), and we've found a business book that included several pages about her as well as a Harvard Business School published case study that discusses her. Given that she's already been covered in Forbes, People Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, a book on business, a Harvard Business School published case study, and numerous publications, and more references continue to surface, I'm sticking with my recommendation to "Keep." Respectfully yours, Bruriyah (talk) 23:11, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- This is yet again another claim of notability without providing links here (besides Forbes!) to specific sources, which have been requested numerous times, so that we can see if they have significant coverage of Rodan herself. Simply naming a bunch of different notable publications doesn't verify the subject's notability. We need to actually see what comprises the coverage of the subject itself (Rodan) to determine if it's trivial or significant. The Harvard study is not about Rodan; it's about the human resources and sales strategies of the business, Rodan + Fields. The same applies to almost all the other publications; they're about Rodan + Fields and/or Procactiv, not Rodan herself. And while you may not appreciate it, what I said is necessary and accurate. It is a fact that WebMD biographies are crap sources. They're written and submitted by the doctors themselves, so obviously they're not reliable sources. So, yes, it took nerve to use a WebMD bio as a source. For the record, when I made my comment I had no idea did it, so if it applies to you, so be it. In terms of the article creator, Slestrealla, they have already acknowledged their direct, personal connection to Rodan, but have not adequately elaborated. Editors not only have a right, but also a responsibility to inquire about the extent of of an editor's apparent or obvious relationship to an article subject if they are editing the article, and most especially if they created the article. An administrator in this discussion also asked the editor several days ago on their talk page about their connection to Rodan, but has yet to receive a reply.

- Delete per DGG and Doc James. Guy (Help!) 08:40, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete I've been thinking a lot about this one. DGG and Doc James make good sense. If this was created as a promo piece to help her earn more money, then it should be deleted. We have the clear "List of policies and guidelines that can be used for making one's case in proposing a page for deletion". One of them is WP:PROMOTION. So, was this created for that reason? Quite obviously. The creator has admitted working for Rodan, has made only edits to this article and one other. Both of these are about corporate people. It is very likely the creator is a business associate being paid rather than, say, someone in her sewing circle doing her a favour.
- Furthermore, there is suddenly another single purpose account User:Nadia12m. If these two are different people, have no association to Rodan and her org, and came here to help build the encyclopedia, fine. Is that likely? Not a chance. Katie Rodan was created 12 February 2015 then Nadia12m created the polished Draft:Rodan + Fields on 15 April 2016 in one edit. Both subjects have been around a long time and yet both of these pages were created so close together in time. There is certainly a connection here. Neither declared themselves as paid editors contrary to the Terms of Use. Both users are possibly the same person or they work for Rodan or work together. Are these two accounts and creations here at Wikipedia to improve it? Hardly. This is obviously promo paid editing. They are here to use this encyclopedia to increase their profits.

- Strong Keep - First, it all depends on what one considers "a substantial body of troops". If you consider a regiment as meeting that requirement, then he fits #6 of WP:SOLDIER. Add to that, his role in the Battle of Manila, and he probably meets #7 as well. Looking into him, due to the age in which he lived and died, there is not much on the internet. However, a search of Google Books shows much more coverage, which clearly meets WP:GNG. Aside from the 2 Flanagan and 2 Hagerman sources already in the article, there's a nice mention of him in Jump Commander, good coverage in Blossoming Silk Against the Rising Sun, Leyte, 1944: The Soldiers' Battle, United States Army In WWII - The Pacific - Triumph In The Philippines, and A Dogface's War.

Rebbing 04:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep based on the impropriety of the nomination. Cf. WP:SKCRIT point 2. In my estimation, the article's notability is debatable—not clearly lacking, not obviously established—but I do not believe it's appropriate to reach that question under the circumstances.
- I do not make such an accusation lightly, but I believe it's necessary in this case. The nominator's contributions to English Wikipedia speak for themselves: few new users begin their editing careers by nominating articles for deletion. But far more troubling is his record on Commons, where his account has been blocked indefinitely as an account "used exclusively for disruption" (emphasis added). (His talk page and contributions provide more details, if any are needed.) Rebbing 04:59, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Note: I'm not recommending speedy retention per Criterion 2; I'm voting for retention based on suspicious behavior by analogy ("cf.") to Criterion 2. My argument is not invalidated by the fact that we now have an uninvolved editor recommending deletion; however, as an argument not grounded in policy or guidelines, I expect the closer will give my position little, if any, weight.

My ground was that the EXIF data (Copyyright Management Information) had been stripped out in breach of USC code by a Commons bureuacrat and sysop to misrepresent that the image was authored in 2011, and not 2008 as published on NBCNEWS.COM. I am presently in active correspondence with your Websites legal counsel over this block and related issues, and certain clarifications have already been provided to me by Shri Rogers (Legal Counsel for Wikipedia). I am not at all describable as a vandal or disruptive person for pointing out breaches of Foundation Terms of Usage and US laws applicable to your esteemed website,and I am not in any edit war on your website.

Comment: Why are you shying away from speaking of their reliability ? It is certainly a serious problem if Wikipedia insiders are allowed special privileges when it comes to articles about non-notable selves or their non-notable organisations. Mohsinpathania (talk) 17:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- What sources are there that you claim that the nominator hasn't checked? The ones in the article seem to be pretty junky, and well below the standard demanded for sourcing of articles outside the Anglosphere, such as Alexander Solodukha (deletion discussion) or Crazy Eyes Crew (deletion discussion). There may be some history with the nominator that I'm unaware of but I see no reason why we can't discuss this nomination on its merits rather than assume bad faith on the part of the nominator. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. The sources in the article are woefully inadequate for substantiating notability, being, at best, passing mentions of the subject in dubiously reliable sources, and my own searches, which include checking out the ones automatically linked by the nomination statement, find nothing in any reliable source with more than a passing mention of the subject. Please note that this invalidates the ridiculous claim above that this discussion is subject to WP:SKCRIT point 2, because I am an uninvolved editor (if you don't believe me check my contributions since my ISP last changed my IP address in December 2015) and have called for deletion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:15, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Comment: I never claimed article is create by 'Carrite'. In actualment the creation and early edits for this article are by User:CDaniel and were "sourced" (if that is the right term) to this Internet trash article and the alleged owner of the business is "Timbo Chandler". CDaniels account (from his user page) appears to have a WP:COI with this article or alternatively with account User:Carrite which was opened later and whose first edit shows a remarkable familiarity of Wikipedia sintax. So who is the founder of this business Timbo Chandler or Timbo Davenport needs to be resolved in view of acuracy of encylcopedia. Thank you Mohsinpathania (talk) 04:57, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Administrator note CDaniels lists articles that he has created or contributed to on his user page, a common practice. This does not show that he has a COI with either this article or with Carrite. Carrite's first edit is of no relevant to this discussion. Please restrain yourself to discussion on whether the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article policies and guidelines. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- IP 120.56.118.252, I repeat "Please restrain yourself to discussion on whether the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article policies and guidelines." Talk of first edits, and DUCKS, and BOOMERANGS is not doing that. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:00, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

- Merge to Punk labels. Sources are unreliable, especially internet forum posts and so on. Since this is an historical subject (1990s punk), if the label is/was notable, we should expect to read about it in several of the many books covering the topic. However, the only source I could find, "Punks: A Guide to an American Subculture", is conspicuous for not discussing it. The label's owner is mentioned only in one sentence, where he is quoted regarding the notability of a radio show/DJ. So in fact there seems to be a reliable source that indicates that it's not particularly notable! But that doesn't mean all the information must be discarded, and some of the sources could be used as citations for facts, if not for notability. A large proportion of the articles in the Category:Punk record labels have even less evidence of notability for dedicated articles, but it would be a mistake to simply delete them en masse. Taken together, they are a notable subject, and the articles contain much valuable information. I would suggest creating Punk labels at least as a stub, and doing a WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT in order to retain the existing information for possible merging into it. In general, I think WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT rather than WP:PROD or AfD, should be the first line approach to article subjects that don't meet notability criteria, but still have useful information. If there are problems with it being reverted, by COI editors for example, that can be dealt with by the usual COI or content dispute procedures. WP:PROD should be reserved for articles that are clearly completely useless, and a formal AfD for notability should only be considered if WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT is legitimately contentious. -- IamNotU (talk) 14:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

This includes page 121 of the Video Game Bible, 1985-2002 by Andy Slaven, in which he writes "this strategy game takes place in feudal Japan and offers a good story line and complex options." It also achieved a listing in Classic Home Video Games, 1985-1988: A Complete Reference Guide by Brett Weiss but nothing of substance.

- Keep - A brief review of this game is present in Nintendo Power volume 16], although it appears to be the only appearance in Nintendo's famous publication. A book "VideoGames and Computer Entertainment: Complete Guide to Nintendo Video Games" by Andy Eddy appears to give it a full page review, although I don't know the contents and thus I don't know whether it would be considered notable or non-notable for purposes of this discussion. One consideration that would need to be taken into this discussion due to its era, most of the primary sources for it would be print publications only, and thus might require more effort to uncover than a simple Google search. I hope that this meets criteria for a Keep vote, and apologize if it does not. -Cookie3 (talk) 10:40, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

- Nope, don't have any great sources for Hot B (all the print sources I have are about their published games, and while one could build a silhouette of a page based on that, I think the page would still be a candidate for deletion). Regarding Shingen the Ruler, I'm certain I read one other print review, but I dug through my magazine archive and couldn't find it, so maybe I'm delusional.. and even if I wasn't, that as-of-yet-undiscovered print review plus Nintendo Power #16 only equal 2 print reviews, and would still fall short of the 3 you recommended. The local library doesn't have the Twin Galaxies book or Eddy's VGCE:Complete Guide so I can't evaluate them for possible citation. I'd still favor "keep" since the page already exists and I am certain that the sources are out there.. but without a greater effort at research it would be tough to justify. So... ultimately, whatever happens with the page is fine. I would have suggested maybe making a small blurb and putting it on the Hot B page, and then redirecting, but... well... -Cookie3 (talk) 12:32, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Non-notable business. I've trie Csding this, but keep getting reverted essentially on the grounds that the owners are notable. WP:NOTINHERITED, sez I. I don't think the crime story makes it notable either. TheLongTone (talk) 15:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- A7 is not about notability. Adam9007 (talk) 16:32, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- @TheLongTone: Out of curiosity - what would make a large casino notable for you? As indicated in this article, news agencies have covered it's impact on the local and tribe's economy. A quick look around enWP shows dozens of articles on casinos that are smaller and whose impact is less well documented. So I am curious why you felt this particular casino was not notable, and what would make it "notable" in your mind. Thanks! PS. As a minor note, I have not personally found it helpful to cite essays (such as WP:NOTINHERITED) when there are guidelines and policies around these topics. Basically citing an essay is like saying "these group of people share this opinion" - which is for many people different from "the community has come to consensus on this policy or guideline." Essentially anyone can post an essay on anything, a policy or guidelines requires more consensus. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 16:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

- By contrast, what makes the Detroit casinos or Vegas casinos notable? Not much has actually happened at many or any of them, yet they are considered notable due to their size, economic impact, and public nature. I am unclear how this large casino is different.

- Weak keep but needs improvement. There is quite a bit more in the sources I looked at, like this which talks about the social impact of the casino on the tribe. The Highbeam article looks promising but I can't get to it. Like many business articles, the creators have given a few business facts but haven't actually told the story of the business. I admit that in this case the story is entirely of local import, and that argues against it (see wp:AUD, which requires at least one regional/national or broader source.

- He fails NHOCKEY and GNG. Joeykai (talk) 03:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: Honestly, @DaltonCastle:, if you have no idea of the notability criteria pertaining to hockey players, and you won't even take the thirty seconds necessary to follow the link you cite and read it to find out, you shouldn't be voting in related AfD discussions. In this particular case, the subject hasn't even played major junior, let alone climbed out of the amateur ranks, and fails the GNG and NHOCKEY going away. The article itself is the creation of a SPA with no other edits. Ravenswing 04:57, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment thank you for the judgmental tone, but my question arose from if the "Junior League" he was in was in fact within the "Played at least 200 games (90 games for a goaltender) or achieved preeminent honors (all-time top ten career scorer, First Team All-Star) in top-level minor leagues or second tier national leagues" parameter. DaltonCastle (talk) 05:15, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Reply And nothing prevented you either from finding out that information, or if taking the time to do that was too onerous, to not vote in the AfD. What possible basis could you have for advocating keeping the article? Ravenswing 06:12, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. This is a very early stub for an entity that is notable -- it just needs to be built up and developed. Also, a quick search of Wikipedia shows that there are similar pages for different Innocence Project Network member organizations. I hope that by linking these it doesn't lead to their demise as well in this process - so please be kind. I would be happy to work on this page but wanted to let the University of Nebraska-Lincoln new editor continue their initial work.

- Keep. I think the second point of WP:SSEFAR applies here. Even though the "similar articles exist" argument isn't enough to warrant keeping an article, this covers a finite amount (Innocence Project subdivisions) and we have other articles on those which have not been deleted. The fact that NIP were involved in the first DNA exhonoration case in Nebraska also adds notability in my opinion. If there's going to be a merge it should be with all the subdivisions, but I think I'd prefer subpages, especially since there's room for expansion. Best Regards, InsaneHacker (🗪) 11:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NONPROFIT, which states that a not-for-profit organization's achievements should be assessed when determining when the organization passes WP:NORG's notability guidelines. The sources cited in this article substantiate the fact that this group's work has had a significant impact, and we should therefore keep this article. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- No he isn't notable enough. He fails NHOCKEY and GNG. Joeykai (talk) 03:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: DiGiacinto is, in fact, not a professional player (and what measure of notability do you claim he meets?), something you might have seen if you'd done more than give the article a superficial glance. Given that you've made over 140 edits on several dozen AfDs today over the course of a couple of hours, this comment of yours coming ninety seconds after the previous one, that's not surprising.

- Delete: NN amateur player with no accomplishments to speak of, fails NHOCKEY and the GNG going away. Of the sources presented, all are either primary from the organizations with which he's played, blogsites, or routine sports coverage of the sort explicitly barred from supporting notability per WP:ROUTINE. One of several such creations up at AfD of a semi-SPA who focuses on a handful of junior league teams, and writes in a rah-rah fannish manner unsuitable for the encyclopedia even if the players met notability standards.

I came across this as an A7 speedy, however there's just enough of an assertion of notability (playing at concerts) to where it doesn't cleanly qualify. A search doesn't bring up much of anything other than a few notifications of the band playing at local concerts. The sources in the article aren't enough to assert notability and some of the sources link to Wikipedia, which cannot be used as a source to really back up any claims or establish notability.

Since no part of notability criteria guarantees automatic notability to beauty pageants absent reliable sources about the same, I see no reason to keep the article.

- Comment: Can't form an opinion either way because whilst I don't think it is notable, looking at these three templates: Template:MissWorldCountries, Template:MissUniverseCountries and Template:MissEarthCountries, just existing and taking part warrants an article. Think of that what you will, but I think for consistency, you've either got to vote keep, or address notability at a more fundamental level i.e. not one tiny non-independent island at a time, but the guidelines on notability for all articles on small (in pageant terms e.g. never hosted, never placed etc) participants. Rayman60 (talk) 16:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- Please note that not all articles linked in the above mentioned template have evidence of participation and/or are unsourced articles. The Banner talk 18:37, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a feeder to major international pageants and, as noted by others, is part of a series of national-level articles on such feeders. As for sourcing, that does seem to be a problem with many of these article, but not an insurmountable one. Before coming here, I replaced one of the Facebook sources on this article with something independent. So, sourcing can be done. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - while news does return over 800 hits for Lupita Gonzalez, none of those appear to be about this particular aka of María Gonllegos. The Pan American runner does not appear to be the same person, and there is nothing in any of the articles to connect the two. Most of the 800 hits are for other people with this same name. The commonality of her aka makes researching under that difficult, but there does not appear to be, and none have been proffered, the type of in-depth coverage needed to meet WP:GNG, and under her real name there is virtually zero coverage. Btw, there is nothing to indicate, other than its mention in the article, which is uncited, that Gonllegos does go by an aka. Even the one source about her as an entertainer uses Gonllegos, not Gonzales. Onel5969 TT me 12:48, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Delete(withdrawing !vote) –The only in-depth coverage I can find is the interview in Endgadget. The Oxford Handbook mention is textbook trivial (it says, "Leader composer Jason Hayes and composer Tracy W. Bush of the original WoW soundtrack were not part of the teams that made the music for the expansions"). Further detail on the World of Warcraft soundtrack can be given on the game's article, but Bush himself doesn't seem to be notable at this stage.—Nizolan (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)- Weak Keep'.

The result was keep. The consensus is that this person meets the notability criteria. Prior to any future re-submission for deletion, I would suggest that a discussion is held at NPOL's talk page to verify whether or not "deputy minister" meets the GNG criteria, but in this instance, the consensus is that it does meet it.

The source in the article merely says that he was chairman of the State Registration Service, which doesn't sound to me, as someone who is admittedly unfamilar with said State Registration Service, like something that would qualify him for notability per WP:POLITICIAN. If anyone can provide a reliable source saying that he has been a deputy minister then I will happily support keeping, but otherwise this is a

- "Deputy minister", which is a civil service position and not a political one per se, is a position which can get a person into Wikipedia if they're the subject of enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG — but it is not a position that entitles a person to an automatic inclusion freebie just because they can be verified as existing. But the only reliable source that's been shown here is a 98 word blurb announcing his appointment — which is not enough media coverage to constitute a GNG pass. Sources do not have to be in Latin script — Ukrainian language sources are perfectly acceptable — but there absolutely, unequivocally have to be a lot more of them than this. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if a significantly better volume of sourcing can be located. Bearcat (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Bearcat: The position of Deputy Minister is not inherently a civil service position. For example, see Deputy Ministers of Tanzania and Deputy Minister for Macedonia and Thrace AusLondonder (talk) 03:08, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Except we're not talking about Tanzania or Macedonia and Thrace; we're talking about Ukraine. In Ukraine, as in many other countries including my own, "deputy minister" is a civil service position, as evidenced by the fact that this article says and sources nothing about Dmytro Vorona having been elected to any legislative body (which would have gotten him over WP:NPOL regardless of any quibbles about the meaning of "deputy minister").

- Weak keep. First, as the article was created in 2006, being an unsourced blp doesn't apply. However, he does appear to pass WP:NACTOR, his recurring main role in a TV series, Viper, plus significant roles in two films Ghoulies II, and Robot Wars. The rest of his career reveals that he is a working actor, and he works consistently, but his roles are certainly up and down, from bit parts to significant roles in episodic tv, even significant roles in non-notable films like C'mon Man. While NACTOR only states that they may be notable, I think those 3 significant roles in notable films (regardless of how crappy you think those films are), along with his body of work squeaks him over the level required to meet notability criteria.

- Other contributors: Please note that the article was initially not added to the Nigerian wikiproject since it's creation. The article is well written with many wiki links but on a closer scrutiny, the subject is not notable. It's deceptive in appearance. A search for his publications online is also a futile effort. Most Wikipedia articles solely sourced from printed works usually also have at least pieces of information on the Internet. This case shouldn't be an exception.

The creator is yet to respond to my offline sources request. I deem it pertinent that things should be done the right way. Eruditescholar (talk) 23:42, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment @Eruditescholar: I do not know what you want exactly. According to the rules, I understand that availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability, yet “sources do not have to be available online or written in English.” In this case, am I supposed to personally get copies of the sources quoted in this article across to you for verifiability? How did you carry out your closer scrutiny without the sources? Where in the extant rules does it state that one of the sources must be online?
- You have concluded that the only offline reference which might be reliable is the one from the state’s local newspaper – reason being that perhaps because it has a website. But could that be how editorial integrity is adjudged?
- Note that the article here is not about a Nigerian national figure and you should not expect to see stories about him splashed all over the national dailies online. More so, not all stories printed in national dailies in Nigeria make the online version of the papers.
- For the records, this figure is one of the three classroom teachers who rose from that position to being appointed a permanent secretary in Akwa Ibom state. He is also a winner of the Best Public Servant Award – the biggest award in the state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria. That the award is not publicised online does not make it less notable. How I’m I supposed to get sources from local radio, tv and newspapers online to convince you if by merely quoting them you are not satisfied?
- @GabeIglesia: and @Uhooep: Please note that this figure here is not a politician but a civil servant. Thank crafts (talk) 02:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Thinkcrafts: In my opinion, the subject of the article fails WP:TEACHER and WP:GNG. His stated achievements on the article do not exceed his state (Akwa Ibom) which suggests that he is not known on a national level by most Nigerians. And the stated references are not even sufficient to cite the article. Verifiability is used to ensure veracity of articles on Wikipedia. The website of Pioneer magazine confirms the existence of the source; Unfortunately, it ends just there. Offline sources should have at least ways of verifying that they exist either through book index numbers or related websites and publications. That is not even the case with the remaining stated offline references. Eruditescholar (talk) 07:50, 25 April 2016 (UTC).

- Delete - Current sourcing does not meet notability guidelines, as with other editors, my searches turned up nothing, and without more sourcing from those who have off-line availability, no choice but to delete. Onel5969 TT me 11:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm sympathetic to the difficulty of finding sources that meet WP:RS, when the article subject is in an area not as well covered by internet sites, nor major newspapers. If it were a close call, I might vote otherwise. However, it seems clear that the current local sources don't meet Wikipedia requirements. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 01:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Article needs serious work. But I was still leaning toward weak keep, as subject almost barely passed WP:BASIC, because of passing mentions in presumably reliable sources. But the heavy reliance on "The Story of Ekong Jimmy Effiong”, which appears to be nothing more than a profile in a blog, is inadequate; and his name does not even show up in a WorldCat search as an author on any of the publications listed in the article. So no notability can be reliably established by any standard. X4n6 (talk) 05:54, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Neither Mr. Rosenzweig nor his eponymous disaster scale [29] have received significant coverage, so this wouldn't even work as a redirect. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:52, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

I do not see any use of this scale by disaster relief organizations nor have I heard of either from the EMCOM work which I do. Maybe this will be a useful/significant thing/subject in the future. All in all this looks like a PR piece for the purpose of advancing the comercial interest of the subject. JbhTalk 01:01, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

All I read are notes related to "references" and not with the contents of the scale. I believe the wikipedia vocation is not to publish all ready published documents but to offer sustainable contents at least until another expert can refuted a point of view with another better, wider, and sense making point of view. If so, I encourage the wikipedian community related to experts in the disaster field, to establish a serious discussion around the topic until a consensus can be reached. I offer a direct discussion with the author which can derivate on a deeper study at the same time the scale is presented to the international community in Geneva May 12 and 13.
If wikipedia only publish supported related and linked content, then please feel free to delete asap the article, because it might pass a few time, before it can be related and supported according with wikipedia standards. If so please only have into consideration that wikipedia working sheets must be simplified guidance and the its main vocation should be redefined as repeaters of other trustable sources, which in that case, will be much more reliable than wikipedia itself.
In my opinion the Wikipedia project can be great window for human knowledge that propose new theories and than not always find the proper ways to be published them, due to a rigid tradicional academic estructure, that as we can see in many times has become a big obstacle for the knowledge, in other times it has been deeply mistaken and in other times, is just matter of time. On the other hand, designing a method that challenge experts all over the world, regardless their flag and native institutions, will speed up the evolution of human knowledge, and will transform wikipedia, in the most important sanctuary for learning, not from articles supported in google search, nor links, but in open discussions, as I said.
Just to finish the definition of "disaster" published in wikipedia, is as wrong as in the rest of the dictionaries, supported by the rest of the academic institutions, and therefore, wikipedia is not suitable source for promoting any significative change in the way authorities understand disaster. "The sudden alteration in collective interaction patterns of variables related in a system" is the proper disaster definition because it meet the universal criteria... it can be apply for any place, any where and for any kind or phenomena.
I will mail this conversation to wikipedia founders so they can observe the distortions on the original project as I will ask everyone in this discussion to review the wikipedia history. On my personal opinion, the answer founded since the publication of the article, us just made by non experts in disasters, as a result of facing a discovery.
Hoping to find a high level discussions farther than google searchs, and related links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariana Montero (talk • contribs) 04:01, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Mariana Montero: While I wish you the best of luck in talking to the founders of Wikipedia, presently Wikipedia does require "linked content" and references. It is not a forum to advertise or discuss new theories. Have a look at our policies regarding notability, reliable sources, and what Wikipedia is not. —Nizolan (talk) 04:10, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the reasons proposed for deletion would apply to any fictional character, and there are thousands of them on Wikipedia. Why is this article uniquely irrelevant? Bradv 18:59, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- These reasons do apply to every fictional character but some characters are simply too notable for their articles to be deleted. Those characters have had books and articles full of analysis written about the characters or the impact of these characters on later work. A counter example would be this analysis of Sherlock Holmes. If you find 2-3 similar sources for the analysis of Serena vdW you will have proven that this character is notable enough to have a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 19:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - agree with above. Fictional characters can still be notable. DaltonCastle (talk) 01:39, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- They can only ever be notable in the WP:GNG sense if reliable sources verify that the character is notable. Most sources I checked only amount to WP:TRIVIALMENTION as they prove the notability of Blake Lively, but not the character itself. AadaamS (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
