Delete. WP:BLP of a musician whose only discernible notability claim is that he's been a supporting member of several bands of varying notability. But that's not an automatic WP:NMUSIC pass for a person who isn't himself the subject of enough reliable source coverage to have attained independent notability as an individual -- and the referencing here is entirely to primary sources like the (deadlinked) sales page for an album on an online music store, his (deadlinked) bio on the webpage of an organization he's a member of, and his band's (deadlinked) profile in CBC Music's "artist streaming" section (which does not represent coverage being conferred on him by the CBC, as it's a section of that site where all qualifying artists get to put themselves on the site, and write self-published EPK bios of themselves.) So nothing here demonstrates that he's notable enough to have a standalone BLP. Bearcat (talk) 19:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable actor plus very scarce sources and info generally not verifiable Nyanchoka : talk 2 me 17:48, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

REASONS TO KEEP THIS PAGE ACTIVE:

- The artist is credited in at least three major productions from huge Television Networks, with reliable references already added to its article.

- There are many thousands of articles on Wikipedia with "not enough sources" to prove their total content, and nobody simply deletes them just because of that. So it would be unfair to do it with this page, and don't do it with all the thousands of other pages in this same situation.

- All of the movies and TV series mentioned in the page are easily verifiable on IMDb (links are below!), and some of them are also on YouTube.

- This article was created by me ("Culturalvendas.uy"), and then, it was proposed to deletion by the user "Reddogsix" (A MONTH AGO), and then, it was undeleted (saved) by the user "Atlantic306" (a month ago, also). So, in theory, this page was already approved by the Wikipedia community. Wikipedia had already approved this page, 30 days ago. So, according to Wikipedia's policy: nobody should try to delete an article that was previously considered for deletion, and then "undeleted" (saved) by users. This rule is available in the Wikipedia Page about "Deletions". Please check it out!

- I can perfectly specify the seasons of "Malhação" in which the actor has been. There are YouTube videos with his scenes in at least two seasons. However, he's been to more seasons, but Rede Globo (the production company and distributor) doesn't allow its content on YouTube, because they have their own video platform for web and mobile, called "Globo Play". So it's almost impossible to find episodes of TV Series and Telenovelas from Rede Globo on YouTube. In the scenes, he works with the Main Actors from the series. Two videos are right below.

LINKS FOR TWO DIFFERENT SEASONS OF "MALHAÇÃO" (TV SERIES): - http://youtube.com/watch?v=MnBCwAWTQC4 - Some of the scenes with Gustavo Goulart in the Season 2010. - http://youtube.com/watch?v=5D5yM0PU9SI - Some of the scenes with Gustavo Goulart in the Season 2011.

- Regarding to "Paraíso Tropical", it seems like he wasn't the Lead Actor. I made a mistake. He was a Supporting Actor, and not in all episodes. Probably around 70% of the episodes. That's why he's never been credited in the opening credits. It was a Guest Starring character. I could perfectly make this update to the page. Please note that the References to it, ARE ALREADY in the References List of the article "Gustavo Goulart".

- I know that Wikipedia doesn't recognize IMDb as a Reference, but I'm gonna send IMDb links for each one of the Films that he's been. I ask you to please consider that IMDb does have REQUIREMENTS to add a New Title (film or series) to its database. If you don't believe it, it's simple: you try to create a New Title on IMDb, without any internet link to prove its existence. I'm sure they will reject the creaton of your New Title.

LINKS TO THE MOVIES (with names in their original languages): - http://imdb.com/title/tt2474028 - "Minha Família" ("My Family") - http://imdb.com/title/tt2431816 - "Apenas Mais Uma De Amor" ("Nothing But a Love Song") - http://imdb.com/title/tt2474036 - "Amor Terminal" ("The Last Words") - http://imdb.com/title/tt2735358 - "The Adventures of Sheriff Kid McLain" - http://imdb.com/title/tt5980720 - "Walking After You"

- I could also send links for his TV Series on IMDb, if needed. As an example: the brazilian version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway" has an official channel on YouTube, with over 200,000 views. It's more audience than a lot of TV Shows that we see around the world, right? And this TV Show was also broadcasted on Television, 6 years ago. However, only in the internet (without considering the TV audience), they already had over 200,000 views. And Gustavo Goulart is not only the main Actor of this show, but also its Director and Producer. LINK: http://youtube.com/semsaidavideos

- I know Wikipedia doesn't show "numbers of views" in its pages, but if you could have access to this information, you would notice that Gustavo Goulart has been probably having a good number of views per week on Wikipedia, because he does have fans and people that supports him. Once again, I know this is not considered by Wikipedia, but PLEASE CHECK his Official Twitter Account, so you can notice that this artist has a great number of fans and followers: http://twitter.com/gusway (120,000 followers) - As I've said before, I know that Wikipedia doesn't take it seriously. I'm just providing this social media to prove to you that Gustavo Goulart is popular, and known by over a hundred thousand people.

- Lastly, I feel like I should mention that the user "Nyanchoka" hasn't been quite helpful to me (as you can check in the end of his Talk Page, right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nyanchoka). I am a new user here, and I've tried (more than once) to ask him for HELP about "how to keep this article active", and he never gave me a great support. He was the one who decided to propose this article for deletion, and he is not even trying to be helpful to me, so I FEEL LOST HERE, and don't know what to do in order to keep this page here. I don't even know how am I supposed to try to prove the importance of this article to the Wikipedia community. I have the evidences. But nobody has ever said to me how to proceed, and Wikipedia sounds pretty complicated for new users. SO PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

  • Keep or at least Draft because he's actually notalbe as an actor with several major works and characters so that's something, generally I would actually say the current article is acceptable as is, and extensive and deeper searches would also be suggested to see if other sourcing exists.

The result was merge to Kurdish cinema.  Sandstein  16:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cinema of Kurdistan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No such country as "Kurdistan". This is nothing more than an irridentist attempt to proclaim a certain form of e-nationalism, as done so often on Wikipedia by/for peoples and ethnicities that don't have a nation or state. Its like creating an article called Cinema of Friesland for the Frisian people; that would be pretty ridiculous as well. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, that's weird! I had completely forgotten about that article (Kurdish cinema). Yes, I'd obviously support a merge/redirect to that article as well. Thanks for your constructive response! - LouisAragon (talk) 16:48, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

* Strong Keep: This is an important article that contribute to the Kurdistan portal and Kurdish Culture, with realize citation, quotes from book, and academic research in the Reference section. Since cinema is important part of any culture, it is useful to have this article on on Wiki, give more insight into the Kurdish culture, the history of Kurdish cinema, and the import films coming out of Kurdistan. I also approve to have Kurdish cinema article merged into this one, because Cinema of Kurdistan is more proper way to describe the Cinematic movement in four part of Kurdistan than just have arctic with tittle "Kurdish Cinema", true that Kurdistan does not exist officially as a country, but geographically it define the border of the Kurdish populated area in Middle East, and Kurdistan is a word that is used to describe these area. I find the comment of the user LouisAragons rather prejudice and facets saying "There is no such country as "Kurdistan"", there is Kurdistan and it divided between Iraq, Iran, Syria and Iran, just as there is Palestine, Catalonia, Basque, Kashmir all those country have their own Cinematic page. So this attempt by LouisAragon to delete this page is based on political bias against Kurdish people, a form of censorship that should not be allowed here on Wikipida, clearly there is Kurdistan and Wiki has a large article on Kurdistan, or user like LouisAragon also wan to delete the Kurdistan page also? I suggest a strong keep and help to improve it in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nadra.elif (talkcontribs) 18:07, 21 September 2016 (UTC) [reply]

  • The user LouisAragon (talk) who wanted this article to be deleted is recommended to be investigated for Vandalism, for I have noticed many deletion into Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian articles and info by this user, LouisAragon (talk) and Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian related page, since he/she contribute anything to Kurdish, Assyrian nor Armenian pages, he/she should not delete important information on Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian related pages, nor should he/she use foul and abusive language, it seem there are many who have issue with him/her, because he/she deleted artciles and info which is Vandalism. One way he/she does this is by recommending to delete many pages that are important to Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian cultures, just today LouisAragon recommenced that Cinema of Kurdistan article be deleted because according to her/him; "There is no Kurdistan", but Wiki has a large article that there is Kurdistan, if Wiki allow such prejudice and censorship, then Wiki might as well delete every article that reefer to Kurdistan to fulfill LouisAragon wishes. I have also noticed he/she promote Turkish and Iranian nationalism in many articles without giving proper citation and reference based on his/her believes and commentary, and I have recommend some for deletion to prove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mara kara (talkcontribs) 00:01, 22 September 2016 (UTC) [reply]
  • The article says that it covers "native Kurdish or Kurdish filmmakers abroad", so is self-evidently is not about only the cinema of Kurdistan but about Kurdish cinema everywhere in the world. If it was about only the cinema of Kurdistan then you would have to exclude the work of Kurdish filmmakers abroad. I have no idea whether LouisAragons has any prejudice about this, so assume not per WP:AGF, but I certainly have no interest in nationalist conflicts in the Middle East, but am looking at this issue from a neutral point of view. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*With reference to the user's comment (talk) which take a line from the article and manipulate the meaning of it, when it said: "native Kurdish or Kurdish filmmakers abroad", the article mention these are Kurdish Filmmakers who made films in Kurdistan, they are Kurdish, the two that are mentioned are Karzan Kardozi and Huner Salim, both are Kurdish who went to France and US as refugees, then came back to Kurdistan to make their films, their films are shot on location in Kurdistan, made by Kurdish directors and Kurdish staff and it is part of Cinema of Kurdistan. According to your logic: We should not mention the Spanish directors Luis Bunuel in Cinema of Mexico because he was born in Spain and a Spaniard but contribute much to Cinema of Mexican and his name is all over the page of Cinema of Mexico here in Wiki, but those directors that are mentioned in this article are Kurdish, born in Kurdistan, but because of war left and came back and made films in Kurdistan, so it is part of Kurdistan. As for the user, "LouisAragon", when he says "There is no Kurdistan", that is a prejudice and Fascist lines that are mostly used by Turkish and Persian nationalist, and I looked at his/her page, she/he is a contributor to many Nationalist Turkish and Iranian article and describe him/her self as half "Iranian", so his/her wanting to delete this post because "There is no Kurdistan" is based on his/her prejudice, you might not be aware of the "Nationalist conflict in Middle East", but as a Kurd, I'm aware of the prejudice Kurdish people face, their land divided between four countries, denied their basic right, and words like 'LouisAragon' use been repeating for the past 100 years since Kurdistan was divided; "There is no Kurdistan". If "LouisAragon" have a reason to removed and delete this article, he/she need to come with better reason, because Wiki already prove there is Kurdistan, and here is an article here about Kurdistan. There has been many removal of Kurdish related articles and deletion by the liked of "LouisAragon" and others, this is a clear sign of censorship and against the rules of Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nadra.elif (talkcontribs) 22:14, 21 September 2016 (UTC) [reply]

It is indisputable that there is not a Kurdish nationstate. Whether there should be is a matter that is not something we can solve here. There already exists an article on Kurdish cinema, which looks to be the best place for this information to be presented until such a time that a Kurdish nationstate exists, at which time we can discuss the naming of the article.

  • Merge as above. And, somebody take these socks to the trash! Muffled Pocketed 10:44, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge When wondering which title would be preferable, I thought that "Kurdish Cinema" made more sense than "Cinema of Kurdistan", as it's scope is simpler. While there is a region known as Kurdistan, I don't see evidence that it provides the sort of support or structures that connect movies made in political units. "Kurdish Cinema" on the other hand could include movies made in Kurdish areas as well as in the diaspora. As an aside there have been moves in general to shift artistic topics from "X of COUNTRY" to "DEMONYM X", such as in articles about Literature. It may be that Cinema articles could do with a similar mass move. CMD (talk) 14:02, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: The article should be deleted. Even though I do support Kurdish independence, since there's no officially recognized state covering the area that you have considered within these articles, it is technically wrong to claim it.
Idea: The mentioned articles should be merged together, entitled Kurdish artists in cinema or (less preferably) Kurdish cinema.

  • Delete. There are no references, and the "links" do very little to establish notability. Maproom (talk) 20:35, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. purely promotion, written by admitted paid editor,[1] Accomplishments not adequately documented. DGG ( talk ) 08:37, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral/comment - Hmmm. The article is definitely not great, and whoever did it clearly isn't worth what they're being paid if they can't do it properly - but I'm not so sure that the subject is not notable. There are a great many references to her in various books, magazines and news articles, in various languages. In addition to a number of promising media sources, she was interviewed at length by TIME magazine, which is a pretty good indicator of notability, and there is commentary at the beginning on her career. I am intrigued by all those non-English sources on her - they seem to mostly be in Italian. But searches for the person does indicate that she could possibly pass GNG guidelines, so I can't jump on the delete bandwagon - although I've no objection to the article being deleted and then recreated properly. Mabalu (talk) 09:34, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The article has it's issues. Regarding notability there are many articles that have more than trivial mentions. For example [this article] and [book coverage] go well beyond trivial mention. With the large number of sources that go beyond simple mentions of her as an example author/designer/anthropologist it satisfies [WP:BIO] Gab4gab (talk) 19:47, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — The article does need work. Between the references recently added to the article (as a list of links, some admittedly not good sources), Mabalu & Gab4gab's cases above, and my own Google searches, it does seem probable that there's at least the minimum level of notability. E.g. NY Times article on her Murph9000 (talk) 20:04, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the following three pieces clearly satisfy GNG:

Oded Yinon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This is a clear WP:BIO1E/WP:BLP1E case. This individual is only known in connection to the Yinon Plan, and what little information is available about him personally is already covered in that article. Nsk92 (talk) 14:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC) Nsk92 (talk) 14:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BIO1E states If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. This individual is the sole author of a very significant plan which is a regionally and globally sigificant strategic plan to set out how Israel could destabilize the region through a process of balkanization to achieve its goal of securing its status as a regional superpower. In my view this is of sufficient significance to warrant a separate article. Martyn.Preller (talk) 15:46, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[Martyn.Preller][reply]

That provision of WP:BIO1E refers to the situation where the individual in question, because of of his/her significant role in the event, has himself/herself been the subject of significant coverage. A good example of that would be Abdelhamid Abaaoud, because of his role in the November 2015 Paris attacks. But that's not the case here. Almost nothing at all is known about Oded Yinon personally, and he himself has not been the subject of significant coverage (in fact of hardly any coverage). The article you created says as much: ``Little is known about him and his background". In this situation there is no point in having a separate WP article about him. Apart from him having authored the Yinon Plan, the absolute grand total of information about him personally that seems to be available is that he is (or perhaps was) an Israeli journalist and a former Foreign Ministry official. There appears to be literally nothing else. Everything of substance that is known about him is already adequately covered in the Yinon Plan article, and that's exactly the kind of a situation that WP:BIO1E is designed to deal with. Nsk92 (talk) 16:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Although there is little available about Yinon in English, there is much more in Hebrew. I have located sources which identify him as the son of the well-known diplomat, journalist and orientalist Dov Yinon, about whom he wrote two books. He has also published articles in newspapers, journals and books, and is a former Foreign Ministry official, later working in "another government department". Some of this could be added to the article, with links to reliable sources. RolandR (talk) 23:38, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Steimatzky is publishing house that will print anything they are paid for under any name. Second link is letter - anyone can sign by any name and the third one is not reliable source. I searched and didn't find any reliable records - reviews of his alleged book, articles about him in reliable sources. Nothing. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:17, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be ridiculous. The book is available at all Israeli bookshops, not just Steimatzky's: Booksefer, Sefer Lecol, Sifrut Zola and many more. It was reviewed in Haaretz, and is on the shelves of the Hebrew University library. Of course it is a genuine book. Haaretz is a reputable newspaper, and not in the business of publishing letters by non-existent people. And Matzpen is not going to waste its time polemicising against someone who doesn't exist. RolandR (talk) 13:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Allow me to continue being ridiculous. Is there any information available that connects Oded Yinon of this article to Oded Yinon, author of mentioned book. As Nsk92 mentioned below, there is almost any information available about him. And Harretz didn't publish review about his books, but just mentioned it in the list of the new books with exactly the same wording as on Steimatzki site, which I suppose is a PR message. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even taking his existence for granted, the situation is still a long way off from overcoming the WP:BIO1E bar. There are still only snippets of extra information about Oden Yinon personally in the links you provided, the main extra bit of information being that he is the son of Dov Yinon. To overcome the WP:BIO1E bar one would need to find significant specific coverage of Oded Yinon personally, apart from the Yinon Plan, by solid WP:RS, that would justify a separate biographical article about him. Right now we don't have even the basic biographical details such as when and where he was born, where he was raised and when to school, where he got his college degree and possible a graduate degree, something more precise about his job history, whether he is/was married and has children, where he works/lives/retired now, or etc. In fact, we don't even know if he is still alive. With this dearth of specific information about him WP:BIO1E still applies and a separate biographical article is not justified, even if one takes his existence for granted.

Totally fails WP:OPINION, WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:MADEUP. A personal reflection on colonialism, largely opinion with lots of odd claims and passages of personal poetic reflection like:

Our current global monoculture, for eyes that perceive light as we do, is visible from what we call outer space. Perhaps our lights are not so bright.

And as Medeis and Smurrayinchester have noted, a lot of simply false claims about the Yellowstone supervolcano and other topics.

  • Keep Wikipedia's systemic bias against figures like Attakurov, who is ambassador from a former Soviet Republic to Russia, should give us pause before deleting such figures. We should solicit editors with Russian language skills to find information, which I believe definitely exists based on the importance of his position.--TM 17:38, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in the previous AfD, identical information is found in The Nexus (professional wrestling), The Corre, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. When the other AfD was closed over three years ago due to no consensus, there was an agreement that this information was redundant and that we needed to change something. We never did. I think we have better agreement on when tag teams warrant a separate article than we did then and can reassess this case. I believe this article is unnecessary as Slater and Gabriel never teamed outside of the larger factions. LM2000 (talk) 05:55, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I would suggest that the "better agreement" is more a reflection of attrition--speaking for myself, I tend to avoid these discussions because of the sheer number some members of WP:PW put forward en masse as well as the endless arguments, as delete voters tend to get confrontational and want endless arguments instead of allowing closing administrators to weigh the arguments on their own. Easily enough reliable third-party sources to warrant a Wikipedia article. While I am fully aware that an argument about content forking will be invoked, the guideline says that it is okay for spin-off articles to be created to provide more detailed information about specific aspects of a topic.

  • Delete. No distinct notability as a team. The individual memebers, and the factions they were part of, yes, but these two specifically as a team, no. oknazevad (talk) 00:13, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – I would buy this as notable if it were about the tag team of Dick Slater and Peter Gabriel (and I'd pay money to see that!). The keep voters make the same arguments that have been made in other AFDs, often the same people making the same argument, namely that the mere existence of citations pointing to reliable sources = evidence of notability. In other words, as far as they're concerned, the agenda of their cherry-picked sources automatically becomes our agenda and it matters little or none if that agenda extends to providing comprehensive coverage of what's notable about the topic of professional wrestling. There are simply far too many examples of what's wrong with that approach, so I won't dwell on such. However, one which stood out is the fact that we have Category:American Wrestling Association teams and stables which is reasonably well-populated, but no article on The High Flyers. Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell teamed together and appeared on the top or middle of the card for close to a decade and a half, including many years in which the AWA regularly appeared in 15–20,000-seat arenas. I suppose none of that matters when compared with every little present-day fleeting trending topic mentioned by present-day fanboy news sites. Likewise, no article on The Crush Gals, who were absolutely freaking huge at the height of their popularity, while we do have an article on The Jumping Bomb Angels, who were nowhere near as big a deal but made a small handful of appearances on WWF television. Like I said, I could go on forever about that but would rather not. To sum it up, this approach begs the question: which part of "Wikipedia is not a newspaper" requires further debate/discussion or deserves to be disregarded?

  • Keep - Let this page stay. It is a good movie which had different Marvel characters in it. If we can at least get more sources and an expanded plot, we can get this page to be at the same state as the Marvel Anime films. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:02, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of films based on Marvel Comics, but with no objection to restoration when more sourcing becomes available. Right now there's just not enough to justify an article at this point in time. I found one review by CSM and two articles where it's trivially mentioned, but that's not enough to justify an article at this point in time. It's possible that it could get another review or two later this year, but we can't guarantee that per WP:CRYSTAL - it could be just as likely that Marvel will release something else to capitalize on the holiday season and this will be left in the dust. (Offhand though, I hope it becomes a cult classic because seriously - Loki vs Santa? XD) I think that redirecting this with history would be a good compromise. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:15, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Regardless of how big or small it is, it should still be kept. Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas is arguably the bigger special, yet has significantly less detail than Frost Fright. It has very basic information, but it has the essentials that makes it worth keeping. It just needs more work. Like maybe a production section, as this has Captain Marvel, yet at that point in Assemble, she hadn't even joined the Avengers. It also doesn't involve Man of Action. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 01:12, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: That is Wikipedia:Other stuff exists which is not a valid argument in this case. Frost Fight has to stand on WP:notability on its own. With out major reliable sources, which two editors indicate are there, it doesn't meet notability. With I have found, all of the info reasonably fit at List of films based on Marvel Comics. Spshu (talk) 01:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, because you want to add a description of what it's about, too, which just doesn't fit there. And the fact that I brought A Very Monkey Christmas up is because that is a page about a Christmas special that has even less than Frost Fight. Just because you don't see Frost Fight as page of notability, doesn't make it true. And you're the only one who's opposed this page. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 08:22, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Look again, Tokyogirl79 supports the position that the film isn't notable now. I gave reason for it not being notable; you have not. Spshu (talk) 17:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, you got me. I didn't see that, but to be honest, I'm just seeing a bunch of babbling just because it doesn't have a lot reviews. The fact that it's acknowledged is enough. This isn't just some random 22 minute episode. It's an hour special. Don't make a fuss about something there doesn't need to be a fuss about. Instead of arguing about its faults, you could help build the page like I've kept on saying, then it wouldn't look so insufficient. -- Tokyogirl79 just wants it deleted because Marvel will probably do another that leave this forgotten.

No, he doesn't have a point. Just the fact that it exists and is an hour special does not make it notable.

An unremarkable Waffen-SS man; significant RS coverage cannot be found. What comes up is from extremely WP:QS source Richard Landwehr.

Similar to AfD:Christian Bachmann, the article was created in early 2009 using non WP:RS sources, such as Axishistory.com and frontjkemper.info: 2009 version. It was one of about 500 articles created around that timeframe by editor Jim Sweeney (now retired). The only reliable citations that can be found is Veit Scherzer's Knight's Cross Holders book to confirm the receipt of the award, but this is insufficient to overcome WP:BIO1E and lack of reliable sources.

The topic of the notability of Knight's Cross winners has been extensively discussed here: Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles; the summary in this subsection (Part 3). There's currently no consensus whether a single award of the Knight's Cross meets WP:SOLDIER #1, given that many were not awarded for valour and that too many were awarded overall (over 7,000).

Available sources on KC winners were discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heinrich Debus (SS officer), with an insightful contribution from editor Assayer, who provided historiographic perspective on the sources (Thomas & Wegmann; Krätschmer; others) that were mentioned in related discussions. Per available information, such sources, even if available on the subject (which is not certain), are non-RS for the purpose of establishing notability.

  • Keep With due respect to Assayer, that's one opinion. There are biographical entries on all these people in at least one of these multi-volume series by various authors in German, and yes, a series exists for Waffen-SS recipients. That, added to the other mentions in directories of KC recipients is, in my view, sufficient for GNG. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:57, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment From 12 June 2003 to 4 January 2004, the Militärhistorisches Museum Flugplatz Berlin-Gatow, a branch of the Bundeswehr Military History Museum, and under the administration of MGFA, featured a special exhibition titled Das Eiserne Kreuz – Zur Geschichte einer Auszeichnung [The Iron Cross – The History of an Award]. At the museum, I bought a book by Thomas & Wegmann on this topic. In the lead, Thomas & Wegmann thanked the German Federal Archives, Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and the MGFA for their support and contribution in making this book possible. The works of Thomas & Wegmann may not be sufficient to qualify a KC recipient for the notability criteria of Wikipedia (your call to make), but I would disagree to say that they are unreliable sources and I would also disagree they were not endorsed (at least in 2003 they were). Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:19, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I see that the Thomas & Wegman books were sold in the museum, and that the authors thanked the Archives in the preface of the book. The latter is a routine "thank you" that one would normally see for granting access; the former does not imply an endorsements. We'd need something stronger to support that these books were endorsed by the MFGA. Some reviews were provided in AfD of Heinrich Debus and they are very far from an endorsement.

  • Delete my concern is not the r eliability of the sources so much as whether mere inclusion in them meets the threshold for notability at Wikipedia.

  • Delete -- Without clear evidence that he was remarkable. I am prepared to accept that Thomas & Wegmann may be a RS, but that does not make every recipient notable. In contrast the British Victoria Cross was rarely awarded, so that all recipients are likely to be notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Same as with Bachmann. I do not hold the Stackpole military history series in high esteem, but even in the respective volumes by Samuel Mitcham there is no information on Styr. Minus the standard sentence concerning the nature of the KC, which by the way only tells half of the story by passing over, among others, aspects of propaganda, prestige and favoritism, we just learn the most basic biographical data. Articles like this come close to a directory of KC recipients, something which Wikipidia is not.--Assayer (talk) 23:46, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If someone could find Portuguese language sources that are ongoing, I think it would be enough to establish notability. The English language coverage doesn't, but I get the systemic bias argument.

Searched through the Google News again and found this as the latest Portuguese language piece [7] The very rough Google translate version of it doesn't seem to suggest anything other than the fact that the trial is going to a jury, but I thought I would share here since it was published a year after the latest coverage we'd previously identified (I've also struck my comment about 2014 being the latest above). Regardless, I'm still in favor of deletion. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:50, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand to read the article that I can say it never actuslly says anything but that exact "going to a jury", and the fact that was a year ago, there's still nothing substantial because of that, especially because the available coverage is outweighing that by only being largest when the event actuslly happened itself. SwisterTwister talk 02:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right. I agree. I was just noting I found a later source than I mentioned above in case anyone else could find anymore. I'm still in favour of deletion unless additional ongoing coverage can be found. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:48, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My extensively informed PROD was removed, and examining the newly added sources are finding the exact same thing: every single article contains puffery words such as "the company's success and successful" along with specific information about the company, its services, images of what they offer and other company activities. One of the things I'll note is that The Atlantic goes as far to only ever contain puffery words, there was no actual journalism happening let alone objective information. The Economist is particularly blatant with being covered in the businessman's words ("I’ve always been fascinated with technology, gadgetry, and innovation. For years now, I’ve been reading Technology news with my breakfast and watching every single TED video I can squeeze into my day. When Kickstarter entered the scene, it was everything I loved wrapped in one glorious website. After backing a variety of projects over the last year, I saw a need for a website that took over where Kickstarter and other crowdfunding platforms....Enter Outgrow.me", ""Outgrow.me has every chance of living to the name" (note this last quote is actually the end of the article, not an actual journalist's words, since it was clearly an exact company quote), there was no actual journalism there. This same article goes to then ask what the man's background and activities, are, that's glorified PR and advertising alone. No one actually reading that would say "it's substantial and sSimply because there is a major news source is not automatically suggesting it must be news, this is exactly why churnalism continues and this fits it. My specifics were noted as it is when I said that not only is this article ever focusing with only puffery, but that it was clearly and explicitly touched by PR agents. Note how not only has TheHuffingtonPost become a mass place for PR, the article in fact simply consists of an interview, where the person is only talking about the one thing: the company. As noted with my PROD, there is nothing here that goes to both independent notability and substance and non-PR source; so there's imaginably nothing to gain from actually showcasing supposed "news" if it's only PR and PR alone. The uses of all these listed articles wee clearly and essentially used to only advertise the business and services, this is shown by the fact the images contain flashy images, no genuine news would ever contain this if it actually intended to give genuine news. For additional specifications, I'll note the Czech article is also only using flashy contents and if's not even larger than a few limited paragraphs, that I'd also not actual journalism, instead it was an attempt to simply toss some information (granted information supplied by the company itself) to make it seem like news.

  • These personal comments aside, I will actually talk about the article since that's what we're here about, not to talk about what the nominator has supposedly caused or not; I explicitly examined the sources above and what they consisted of, the ones above are essentially the same thing, so it's not actually a lot of convincing from that, if the best that can be offered....are the same exact ones. Simply stating that my comments are whatever they may be, is not the same thing as actually acknowledging I have commented the concerns of the sources. "indy RS sources" cannot be fit to what these sources in fact are, because the sources themselves, again, state PR and PR-based information, we cannot count that as simply being acceptable because of the website it comes from and how major that website is. Seeing the Atlantic again, "Some of the products you can purchase now include [followed by named companies]...On the one hand, Outgrow.me is both simple and inevitable: It's a catalog fit for the Kickstarter era. It sells, like any standard catalog does, knickknacks of varying value and utility -- some junky, some fantastic, some junky and fantastic at the same time. What's interesting about it, though, is that Outgrow.me is as much about selling a production process as it is about selling products. Its hook, and its commercial logic, leverage the way its wares came into being -- through crowdfunding, and through the particular brand of community-focused commercialism that Kickstarter and Indiegogo represent. Outgrow.me, in that sense, acknowledges what every user of Kickstarter already knows: that when you fund, or buy, a Sonastand for your phone, or an Airslab for your laptop, or a Freaker koozie for your beer ... you're not just buying a thing. You're buying into a thing". that is essentially a sales pitch there by comparably listing other companies, the tone of it speaks from what a PR agent would say, not an uninvolved journalist. The supposed CNET review says: " Outgrow.me features a visual directory of successful crowdfunded darlings, which you can browse according to availability -- such as projects available now or those still in preorder status. Any projects currently seeking money won't even show up on the site, meaning Outgrow acts as an easy way to wade through all of the noise and buy some potentially cutting-edge products ready for prime time", that's all things only a list of clients and investors want to know about, not uninvolved and neutral people.

  • Keep: per WP:SIGCOV in The Economist, The Atlantic, and Inc. There are three highly credible and authoritative periodicals. Clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Safehaven86 (talk) 19:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This comment above is not taking into consideration or even noticing how I specifically analyzed the sources listed above. The Inc. itself is clearly a PR attempt since it focuses with the company's plans and what they are, which include their funding and finance activists. None of that is substantial or significant and should not be mistaken as such simply because they come from a known new source, there is no compromise of accepting PR even if it has the sheerness of being veiled as "news". These are stated facts as shown by analyzing the sources above. This Inc article itself lately focuses with the people involved, the investing and everything else there is to advertise that information. Once we start accepting articles with advertisements, that is when Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia, but instead a PR website. SwisterTwister talk 20:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Adding onto the references given above and in the article, here are a few more: Belfast Telegraph (HighBeam), Yahoo News, ACM DL Digital Library (possibly paid), TheNextWeb, and finally, CNet. There are many more on the News tab in an "outgrow.me" search. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment and analysis - Not only is the comment above actually acknowledged one of the listed sources may be paid PR (they even go as far to then say "the sources included above", but this comment never actually acknowledges any single concern listed, despite I listed them multiple times), but I'll note the Yahoo! News is actually a company-supplied information "article" as it is, with the information clearly coming from the website itself, "Kickstarter and Indiegogo are great crowd-funding sites for entrepreneurs, but they’re also very trendy now. For every awesome product on each site there are dozens of, well, not-so-awesome products. Outgrow.me makes it easy to view the best products these two sites have to offer using a great design that is easy to navigate....As an added bonus, Outgrow.me addresses one of the biggest problems among crowd-funded products. Since a lot of great (and well-funded) products don’t ship on time, the site has an option to only view items that are “orderable” today." (going from named mentions of other companies to services and then about shipping and buying, that's not new, that's PR). That is a sales pitch and a pitch alone; that was not even close to actual journalistic efforts. I am unable to see the Belfast Telegraph article, but for something that (1) was not even mentioned in the first paragraphs, suggests it was not that major a story for this particular company, and also (2) the fact it seems to focus with websites overall, suggesting it will, again, likely be focused with technology and websites, not this particular company. TheNextWeb hardly actually mentions the company a few times (5 simple mentions, not longer than a few included mentions in sentences), let alone it actually being in-depth coverage. The last one, CNET, although listed with a named journalist, started with "The new Web site Outgrow.me features a visual directory of successful crowdfunded darlings, which you can browse according to availability -- such as projects available now or those still in preorder status. Any projects currently seeking money won't even show up on the site, meaning Outgrow acts as an easy way to wade through all of the noise and buy some potentially cutting-edge products ready for prime time" and then finishes with "Outgrow.me sells....". It's concerning that none of the Keep vote have even considered this yet they listed this as being "significant and substantial coverage", but it only took me a few seconds to minutes to quickly find everything there was to actually say about those articles (I'll note the comments never even came close to actually mentioning or acknowledging my extensive PROD), therefore these Keep votes are still outweighed by my extensive analysis above, no other comments have attempted to satisfy the actual concerns, and again, simply stating that this or that major news source happened to mention the company, is not actually amounting to substantial and significant news, especially if they are simply shoehorned mentions or PR. If these comments are not soon acknowledging the concerns especially the new analysis above, a relist may benefit as so a fuller consensus and attention can be obtained.

-Delete. The style of the article is advertising since the only other sentene is sayng one of other 50 best webistes in 2013. In the references, Laughing Squid is a blog, Noah Nelson is an interview and non notable journalist and Alexa Internet is a site ranking site. Alexa internet alone isn't notable. It is just a scale, comparable to a 0-100 in an academic setting. The further reading does not do much justice. Never mind the one in the Czech Language, the articles are more of promotional tone such as the piece by the Economist. It says "THOUSANDS of products have been made using seed money obtained via crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Yet once the money is raised, and products created and shipped to initial backers, designers have a new problem: how to sell their wares to new customers. Sam Fellig has an answer in Outgrow.me.". really??? It reads someone had paid someone to put this piece on post so someone can read it. It really reads as something that would needs some Pr coverage in order to drive in coverage. Anyways, delete. Pyrusca (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - To state the obvious, like with today's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PeopleStrong, there was consensus like here, that the sources and merely asserting they exist, are not the convincing claims needed alone to actually suggest this is notable and acceptable; what I have stated above with my analysis have not been counterchallenged, therefore they are presumed to be taken seriously, and therefore the Keep votes have not considered or acknowledged the concerns listed. I have explicitly listed the PR concerns, and like the Delete vote above that cared to actually also specify and concur with the analysis, no matter what the Keep comments suggest, they themselves have not actually gone to deep analysis (again, like the PeopleStrong AfD, which in fact had). SwisterTwister talk 03:19, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- there are no indications of notability or significance; the entire article is literally this:
  • Outgrow.me is an online marketplace for products that have been successfully funded on crowdfunding platforms. The company is based in New York.[1] It was selected as one of the 50 best websites 2013 by Time Magazine.[2]

This dab page is 100% partial matches. The only real dead cat is apparently a sound-absorbing cover for a microphone, which isn't even on this list. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Although I don't feel enormously strongly about the matter, I think this page is helpful. The dead cat microphone cover is on the list and the word "windscreen" has been added to the title rather by way of disambiguation. Similarly "dead cat bounce" and "dead cat stock" are two descriptive titles where "dead cat" is the operative adjectival phrase which can also be used as a noun in itself. The expression "dead cat rebound" is also used.[8] There is also a dead cat strategy for which there could be an article.[9][10] but the word "strategy" isn't crucial here – it could be "tactic" or "ploy". Personally, I wouldn't have included Schrodinger's cat but I wouldn't go and remove it either. Thincat (talk) 08:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That doesn't make much sense in this context and, as WP:PTM is just a guideline, we are quite free to have exceptions if they don't seem appropriate. The history of this page is that it started as a redirect to cat, then the redirect was shifted around to other pages. In such a case of reasonable multiple choices, the page we have seems a good aid for the reader who is looking for one of these topics but can't recall the exact title.

  • Why have guidelines at all then? The fact that thousands of dab pages need cleanup is beside the point. E.g. Schrodinger's cat is never called Schrodinger's dead cat. (At best, it would be a maybe dead, maybe alive cat.) The band isn't shortened to the Dead Cats AFAIK (unlike the Stones), nor is the book. Adjectives don't count either (show me where stock analysts talk about dead cats), which leaves just a microphone cover. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But it doesn't violate the guideline. The guideline states "where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference", and dead cat can indeed refer to the various subjects. I've heard Schrödinger's cat referred to as the dead cat thought experiment plenty of times. Regarding "show me where stock analysts talk about dead cats", here are some examples: [11], [12], [13], [14]. —Lowellian (reply) 20:17, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Redirect: I agree with Megalibrarygirl because Atlanta Journal is considered a reliable source. According to the lead there is no notability "...competed in the Miss USA pageant and has held a number of other pageantry titles.", but apparently the subject (in the body) won Miss Georgia USA 2000 and placed 4th in the Miss USA 2000. I disagree that just winning Miss Georgia USA and taking part in a TV reality episode gives notability for an article. Otr500 (talk) 18:33, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: Atlanta coverage is a major metro area, that's adequate to meet "significant".

Delete. WP:TOOSOON article about an album that's not due to be released until next year, and which at this point remains sourceable almost entirely to Twitter and YouTube rather than to reliable source coverage. The time for a Wikipedia article about a forthcoming album is when we know the title, the exact release date and the complete track listing. No prejudice against recreation when those details are all confirmed, but we have a rule that if you have to give the article a placeholder title, because the subject's actual title isn't even known yet, then it's not time for an article yet.

  • Comment - I'm verging on keep, currently undecided. This source in the Myanmar Times is actually quite fantastic coverage, focused on him and his work, and pointing out that his previous films are "award-winning," although it doesn't clarify which awards. I at first assumed this was a run-on-of-the-mill student film-maker, but I sometimes forget that there are entire film festival circuits dedicated just to short films, and that their awards are as legitimate as awards for feature-length works as well. I am not personally familiar with the awards he has won, however, so I don't feel comfortable assessing how much that helps with notability in this case. Also some mentions of his work at this location. But I think he might pass 4 of WP:FILMMAKER, and possibly number 3 if more reviews are found (possibly not in English?)

I came across this as an WP:A11 nomination, however since it's a book it doesn't qualify under any of the current criteria. (However there is an attempt to add this as a criteria here, albeit only for books self-published via specific publishers, where the author has no article and there is no assertion of notability.)

There's nothing out there to show that this self-published book is ultimately notable enough for an article. The author doesn't have an article, nor does he seem notable enough to warrant one. This looks to be your typical non-notable self-published book. I wish the author well, but this just doesn't pass WP:NBOOK. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:59, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP. The only references listed in the article are directory sites and press releases, which fail WP:CORPDEPTH. shoy (reactions) 13:06, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having a Bloomberg.com profile, for instance, listed as a source is not impressive. All the ResearchLive sources are press releases also. I would suggest reading WP:RS for descriptions of what reliable sources look like so. shoy (reactions) 13:00, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The listed awards look routine in the sector (top 50s for growth, innovation, etc.) and most of the references are passing coverage of routine announcements involving the firm. One possible exception is the bylined GreenBook Blog piece which discussed the implications of the announcement of this firm's takeover by another (which has no article here, or a redirect would be an option) and concludes that together they are a contender with "the potential to go toe-to-toe not only with the Big 4 full service firms" in their sector.

  • Keep This Article in Addition to a Potential Macromill Group Article . I would like to make an argument to keep the MetrixLab article in addition to a potential Macromill Group article in the future. My main reasons for this argument are notability. MetrixLab are a multi-national brand operating in 28 offices worldwide. As noted in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), a company or organisation is considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources, such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. This is a guideline which MetrixLab fully conform to, having cited references from independent sources such as Green Book Blog, Endeit, Emerce, Computable, and Destination CRM, if there are specific issues with my individual references then please let me know.
  • Furthermore, it had been suggested I prepare a Macromill Group article which this MetrixLab article could then be merged with. Having started to prepare a Macromill Group Article, it has become more and more clear how much of an important role MetrixLab play within the Macromill Group of Companies. For example, many of the brands within the Macromill Group were either acquired by or merged with Metrixlab either prior to becoming a Macromill group company or in order to become a Macromill Group Company. The role MetrixLab play within the larger Macromill brand is vital.
  • The final point I would like to make is that I have now updated quite a few of my references to make sure they are as independent and as reliable as possible, staying away from any press release or directory sites, as well as using references from the company’s website as little as possible. I believe I only include the one reference to the MetrixLab.com site now which lists all of their office locations. Please let me know if you find any references which would be deemed unsuitable. Theodone (talk) 12:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This Article in Addition to a Macromill Group Article Company is significant enough to merit it's own article from what I can see from google searches of news. I don't read/write Dutch so it is hard to evaluate quality of the sources currently supporting the article. User:Theodone I suggest you add more sources from reputable international/national media in English (from a quick google search I can see there are many references about the company that could be used). As this article is on English Wikipedia, and editors commenting likely don't read/write Dutch, that will help to establish notability and hence it's rightful place on wikipedia.

  • Delete -- strictly "corporate spam". With content such as this (right in the lead):
....this article is not in compliance with WP:NOT. The language is poetic: "deliver insights at scale"; "customer value"; "all over the world" (and that's just from the lead). The rest of the article is not much better, with external links in body & list of non-notable awards (hallmark of WP:PROMO articles). The subject shows no indications of notability or significance, with sources being very unconvincing. The article exists solely to promote the business, rather than provide encyclopedic content.
Accepting such advertorial articles on insignificant subjects is not in the best interest of the project. Furthermore, volunteer editors' time would be wasted on trying to maintain neutrality of this article. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (Updated References & Removing “Poetic Language") -- Please see that I have now updated my references so that they are all in English. I most definitely agree that the company is significant enough to merit its own article, I think a Macromill Group Article would also be of benefit. This article provides encyclopaedic coverage of the company, consolidating multiple online resources in to one article.
  • I have gone back over the wording within the lead paragraph and have removed anything which I would consider “Poetic”, however, I am not entirely sure what is meant by this so let me know if I have missed anything. With Regards to the awards section – although the listed awards may not be of significance in a general sense, they are of significance within the industry. I have reduced the amount of awards so I only feature the most significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theodone (talkcontribs) 10:43, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep another tribe mentioned several times historically. This looks like a really good source (1863, British Library: India Office Records and Private Papers)Memo on the Dashtee tribe. Also mentioned in Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North West Frontier Province, Tribe and State in Iran and Afghanistan(as part of an alliance fighting against the British, Encyclopaedia of Untouchables Ancient, Medieval and Modern <- also mentions the Nutkani (see deletion discussion below) on the same page. Fraenir (talk) 10:26, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Fraenir: you've done a similar rationale at the AfD for the Nutkani article in the last hour or so. For the record, again, by long-standing consensus British Raj sources are not reliable, and nor are books published by Gyan. That pretty much covers your entire list here. - Sitush (talk) 10:32, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sitush: - To further my education, do you have a link to a relevant discussion on why British Raj sources are not reliable, and Gyan in particular as well? I'd like to see where consensus was formed, and why. I don't necessarily doubt you, I just want to learn something new, and my attempts at searching for this discussion have so far failed. Fieari (talk) 04:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sitush: - Thanks! That makes a lot of sense, particularly with Gyan (being a circular reference). With the British Raj, however, the idea seems to be that the idiots of that period made shit up to justify their rule (and is therefor unreliable). Would it be fair to say that they would be acceptable for providing notability towards an idea that is false or non-standard? In terms of this article, for instance, could British Raj sources be used to make an article that said something to the paraphrased effect of "Dasti is a made up fake tribe created by the British Raj in order to justify their imperialism." The reason I ask is that if these British Raj sources are mentioning this thing, it might be useful to a student doing research to find a Wikipedia article explaining why the thing is BS. Fieari (talk) 05:47, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • They didn't do it to "justify their rule" per se. It was far more complex and indeed they saw it as a way to better understand the native people of their colonies. The Victorian era, in particular, was one of remarkable inquisitiveness. Beyond that, I think we're drifting too far away from relevant discussion here. And whether something is sufficiently notable to justify an article - such as one on a "false or non-standard" idea or even a fake or hoax- is entirely related to WP:GNG. I did it for Census of India prior to independence but we already have articles for Scientific racism etc and would have to beware of synthesising sources for the issue you suggest. - Sitush (talk) 05:56, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you claiming this source cited earlier is "unreliable" [23]? Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 22:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And regarding your dismissal of British Raj sources - this seems to suggest such a sweeping dismissal is unfounded: "Early in the 19th century the British set about gathering and organizing information on the whole of India, which they eventually published in the form of district gazetteers. The district gazetteer series for Baluchistan (1906-08) comprises eight volumes". ... "The Baluchistan series is an extraordinary compendium of information, and ranks among the best of all the Indian gazetteers (Scholberg, p. 49) as well as other literature of the same type". [24] Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 23:11, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, Dashti is also wikilinked to Rind (Baloch tribe) ("Dashti or Dasti is another name for the Rind (tribe), a Baloch tribe of Baluchistan"). Though there is no content in the Rind article mentioning this. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 23:20, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't my dismissal; it is consensus. I know of Scholberg's bibliographic efforts but he is erring to link the early 19C information gathering to that which appeared in the gazetteers. The gazetteers were a response to the Indian rebellion of 1857, after which the British authorities - who were indeed now the Raj rather than the East India Company - determined that the best way for a civil service of ca. 800 people to control a nation of many millions was to "know thy enemy" (so to speak). They may have taken some information from the writings of early amateurs, such as James Tod, but those amateurs were also being heavily criticised by that time. It is true that modern academics do cite Raj works for certain points but that doesn't contradict our position: the Raj works are primary sources for practical purposes, and we're ok to accept mention of them where reliable modern sources have reviewed and commented upon the things. I can't comment on the relative status of the Baluchistan gazetteers vs all of the others, nor on whether Scholberg was placing any particular emphasis on how they covered communities compared to, say, how they covered the terrain or the economy or the history. Here's what Richard Carnac Temple wrote (and he'd said more or less the same thing several times previously because it formed a part of official policy): He wrote in 1914:

The practices and beliefs included under the general head of Folk-lore make up the daily life of the natives of our great dependency, control their feelings, and underlie many of their actions. We foreigners cannot hope to understand them rightly unless we deeply study them, and it must be remembered that close acquaintance and a right understanding begets sympathy, and sympathy begets good government.

Is this any help re: your query? - Sitush (talk) 03:39, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No it doesn't. I see no evidence for a legitimate "consensus", (your) user pages are not consensus and do not have to stand up to OR examinations, you have not explained why you dismissed the Tapper source (which at the very least disproved the hoax allegation), and your quote seems bizarre and contradictory in this context (you claiming unreliability, but the quote explaining why accurate information was necessary and desirable for good governance). The issue is whether this tribal group is notable enough for an article. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:14, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Then you obviously haven't read the information properly. For example, I see no relevant mention of hoax in this discussion (it was a side-issue) and my user pages have links to consensus discussions, as is confirmed pretty much every week (eg: a thread on Bishonen's talk page from this last weeked). I can't help you if you do not read what is offered. - Sitush (talk) 19:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't find any useful mentions in reliable sources. We do have articles about people who bear the name and those should probably be added to the Dasti dab page. - Sitush (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete From what I can discover, they are a minor Baloch tribe, a part of its Rind subdivision. However, given that even the Rind article is little more than a stub, and the Baloch article barely acceptable, I don't see enough notability for a separate article yet. Perhaps a redirect to Baloch people would be correct, based on sources (but not based on current content of the Balloch article - which does its best to not contain such content). I'm concerned that there is past record of deleting content that details Baloch tribes - I don't know if this is due to prejudice against the sources that list them, or against the fact that they exist. Deleted articles include "History of the Baloch people"; "Baloch tribes"; and "List of Baloch tribes". Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Although a weak one based on a dearth of notable printed sources cited in the article. But his part in the Young Magicians Showcase got coverage in Entertainment Weekly and on Access Hollywood, and that counts for a lot for an entertainer. A deep google search shows he has performed on multiple notable shows/venues/media appearances, not in trivial ways but in spotlighted feature or guest slots. So although I'm usually a stickler for more press from notable sources to remove any doubt of notability, I think the rest of it adds up enough to squeak by as a qualified subject for a wikipedia article.

That would be one practical way of handling it. It would be even better to find sources for a separate article, and i think given a knowledge of appropriate Italian sources it could be done. Looking at Safehaven's references (including one by Umberto Eco, no less) , the firm was originally part of RCS , not Mondadori though perhaps Mondadori bought i tin 2015 and is now trying to sell it in 2016 --(and it is not listed on Monodadori's list of imprints on its website. I think this is enough for a separate article. DGG ( talk ) 15:47, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
DGG, I think you're correct that Mondadori bought it last year and sold it this year. Because of this, I think it's best that it has its own article, since if we decided to do a redirect we'd have to decide where to redirect it to, and that would be a bit confusing given how it has bounced around as an imprint of different publishers over the years. I don't think it makes sense to redirect to Valentino Bompiani because I think it's unlikely that people looking for information on an active publisher are going to find what they want on a biographical page. As it stands, I'd say lets improve the Bompiani page. I'll see if I can give it a start. Safehaven86 (talk) 16:02, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! It was really fun to do research on this publisher. Quite an interesting history. I'm going to check the news for who ends up buying it--looks like it should be sold by the end of the year based on the anti-trust ruling. Safehaven86 (talk) 00:21, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. While "fancruft" is not a good deletion reason, lack of notability and NOTSTATS are. Despite the low input, I am going to close this as unqualified delete given the copyright concerns - an alphabetic list of fish by size is unlikely to carry a copyright due to lack of originality, but other similarities such as in text may, and the treshold is really low.

While this page was undeleted by @Georgewilliamherbert in April of 2015, I feel that the concerns he mentioned on the talk page (most especially notability) have not been adequately addressed since then. The only sources are tied to the developers (HashiCorp), and I was unable to find much in the way of potential sources that weren't.

My first thought would be a redirect to either Vagrant, as Packer is apparently closely tied to it functionality, or HashiCorp, perhaps with the addition there of a section on it. WikiPuppies bark dig 05:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, found the following reviews, of her poetry: jmww journal - "This is Not a Situation in Which You Should Remain Calm, After spending more time with the collection, I appreciate Reale's reasoning: the denseness speaks to the main character's stunted, resigned perspective. The poems look heavy because they are heavy."[27], Prick of the Spindle - "Natural Habitat by Michelle Reale (Scott Review), As an object, Natural Habitat is irresistible. .. Reale gives us emotional images, free of pretense and excuse."[28], and "Natural Habitat by Michelle Reale (McKnight Review), In Natural Habitat, Michelle Reale confronts the issue of “true home .. Reale’s stories are constructed with a directness that cuts to the emotional quick and reveals the often-guarded intricacies of domestic behavior and feeling."[29];
and of her book Becoming an Embedded Librarian: Making Connections in the Classroom (which with this many reviews, meets WP:NBOOK): College & Research Libraries - "However, if you are looking to clear the fog around this interesting and important concept in library services, Michelle Reale’s book is a coherent and well-organized discussion of the various aspects of embedded librarianship reinforced with details of her personal experiences as well as lists of practical strategies. .. This volume will make a handy addition to any instruction librarian’s bookshelf"[30], American Libraries Direct - "Aiding Student Research, Reale reports her stumbles, failures, and successes, and confirms that building relationships with students through the classroom yields better researchers than “one-shot” instruction."[31], AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library Staff Publications reviews it[32], Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table (an ALA journal) - "Reale draws upon her experiences to challenge librarians to reinvent their practice and shed the auxiliary relationship to faculty. .. Whether you are new to the practice and concepts or possess experience as an embedded librarian, Becoming an Embedded Librarian offers value to all librarians with a passion for moving themselves out of the library."[33], Library Journal - "The author makes a strong case that successful embedding can further demonstrate the value of the library profession to faculty and students. VERDICT A concise and lucid treatment of the topic. Highly recommended for instruction librarians working at academic libraries and teaching faculty who have librarians embedded in their courses.", and School Library Connection - "This is a professional level book geared to the librarian embedded in a research classroom. .. I see aspects of this as an activity being very successful in a high school setting as well as at the college level."[34], Reflective Teaching - "It would be easy to become intimidated while reading Michelle Reale’s book. It isn’t just her wealth of practical knowledge and hard won experience that may intimidate the reader, it is the daunting nature of embedded librarianship (EL) itself. .. There was one small negative. It is not evident from the cover that the book discusses only in-class embedding. .. But considering the value of the rest of the work these are minor concerns."[35], Canadian Library Association Digest - " Here, Reale shares her own university classroom experiences to offer a step-by-step primer for those contemplating the practice. .. Readers will feel confident applying the lessons learned from Reale's first-hand account to their own experiences both in and out of the classroom"[36], so this looks like a keep but would like some other editors to weigh in on the useability or other wise of the above reviews.

I have never or almost never in my life seen an unfavorable book review from them. I've written many book reviews for library journals. The convention is to say something nice, or if the review has to have negative elements, make sure there are are quotable portions also that sound enthusiastic. Of the 4 review sources mention, only the LJ review could even attempt to be taken seriously. An article here accumulating quoted excerpts fro a wider range of sources good and bas is a trick used to promote a book, and whenever I see it in WP, I thing "overkill" to disguise the fact that not one of it is important. DGG ( talk ) 08:21, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. She has published a number of print books, of which the "embedded librarian" book shows close to 400 holdings (WorldCat), but all her poetry books show only either a single or 2 holdings. Reviews are blogs, for example from the Times of Sicily source: "Times of Sicily, a blog committed to providing coverage of Sicilian news and topics spanning..." According to convention, these aspects fall short of demonstrating notability in the humanities. I will also remind panelists here that we have never counted being nominated for an award toward notability, so Pushcart is irrelevant. Taken with the fact that almost the whole article is OR and was SPA-created (suggesting fanpage or autobio), there is unlikely to be any other acceptable sourcing that would conclusively indicate notability. Agricola44 (talk) 16:01, 28 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Hi Agricola44,"we have never counted being nominated for an award toward notability" - WP:ANYBIO - "1.The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." Coolabahapple (talk) 08:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this is one of those situations that requires reasonable interpretation. When I say "we have never counted", what I mean is that, in practicality, this simply doesn't come up, at least not in my long-standing experience at AfD. Why? First, for awards for which nomination is itself an actual symbol of achievement, even if one doesn't win (think of the Oscar, for example, in that the nomination lists are widely covered/documented prior to the award announcement), that person is always notable on lots of other accounts, so this is never even given as a reason. Indeed, such cases rarely, if ever come up here at AfD. Conversely, this case is the flip-side of the coin. With the Pushcart Prize, publishers are allowed to submit (nominate) groups of their own authors. The obvious incentive for presses to maximize their own chances means there is no notability associated with being nominated, irrespective of whether one considers Pushcarts to be both well-known and significant. Nominees are not covered, nor are the lists even public knowledge, AFAIK (so that would seem to be obvious OR in the article). So, yes, the reasonable interpretation is Pushcart nomination is irrelevant here. I agree with DGG that most of those reviews are likewise irrelevant. I think your "weak keep" is pretty charitable, given the at-best-shaky-sources on this one. Best, Agricola44 (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]

  • Redirect to the band per Johnpacklambert. We definitely don't need standalone WP:BLPs of them as individuals, a separate article about them as a duo and an article about the band that they're notable for being in. It is a remotely plausible search term in its own right, as they have done a couple of compilation album tracks under this name rather than as the band per se, but it doesn't need a standalone article of its own as a separate topic from the other three related articles that already exist.

  • Delete - Google hits alone are not a good measure of notability, but "co-nomading" and "conomading" together turn up less than 200 hits, including Wikipedia clones, and none of them are remotely reliable sources. Remote work is already an article, and it's possible there's a notable subtopic along the lines described in this article, but this is definitely not it. Of the links in the article, one is for an event that took place the day after this article was created (what a coincidence), one is neither reliable nor even mentions this term, one would be reliable (HBR) but again doesn't mention this term, and the other is a company website. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:09, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is apparently a venue of Al Ahly SC, the Egyptian sport club that sponsors a very notable professional football team in the Egyptian Premier League,, the highest level league in Egypt--though that team plays in a much larger stadium. Even as a secondary venue,, it's likely to be notable; if not, it can be merged into the article on the club. Merges should always be at least considered as alternatives to deletion. A proper nomination in a case like this would include at least a reason why a merge might not be the appropriate solution. DGG ( talk ) 15:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Poorly sourced article about a television film and web series, which was only in the post-production stage at the time of creation and still has not verifiably been scheduled by the host broadcaster or actually premiered on the web apart from one single advance preview episode on YouTube. This is based on just two pieces of reliable source coverage about it, of which one is local coverage of a scheduling incident in the city where the project was being filmed -- and all I can find on a Google News search is brief acknowledgements of its existence as a project in development, and nothing that indicates its actual debut is imminent. So there's no WP:GNG claim here yet either. In addition, this article was created by the film's own producers, in defiance of our conflict of interest rules. No prejudice against recreation if and when it gains coverage by actually airing, but projects that are still in the production pipeline aren't granted an automatic presumption of notability per WP:NMEDIA unless much more substantial sourcing can be shown than this.

An unremarkable SS major; significant RS coverage cannot be found. What I was able to locate is from WP:QS sources such as Marc Rikmenspoel (a Waffen-SS "guru", as discussed in Waffen-SS in popular culture), and an Italian author who runs an "official site of cultural association Ritterkreuz".

The article was created in 2008 using non WP:RS sources, such as geocities, Ritterkreuz.de, and frontjkemper.info: 2008 version, one of about 500 articles created around that time by editor Jim Sweeney (now retired). The only reliable citations are in the Awards section, but this is insufficient to overcome WP:BIO1E and lack of reliable sources.

The topic of the notability of Knight's Cross winners has been extensively discussed here: Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles; the summary in this subsection (Part 3). There's currently no consensus whether a single award of the Knight's Cross meets WP:SOLDIER #1, given that many were not awarded for valour and that too many were awarded overall (over 7,000).

Available sources on KC winners were discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heinrich Debus (SS officer), with an insightful contribution from editor Assayer, who provided historiographic perspective on the sources (Thomas & Wegmann; Krätschmer; others) that were mentioned in related discussions. Per available information, such sources are non-RS for the purpose of establishing notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep With due respect to Assayer, that's one opinion. There are biographical entries on all these people in at least one of these multi-volume series by various authors in German, and yes, a series exists for Waffen-SS recipients. That, added to the other mentions in directories of KC recipients is, in my view, sufficient for GNG. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment From 12 June 2003 to 4 January 2004, the Militärhistorisches Museum Flugplatz Berlin-Gatow, a branch of the Bundeswehr Military History Museum, and under the administration of MGFA, featured a special exhibition titled Das Eiserne Kreuz – Zur Geschichte einer Auszeichnung [The Iron Cross – The History of an Award]. At the museum, I bought a book by Thomas & Wegmann on this topic. In the lead, Thomas & Wegmann thanked the German Federal Archives, Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and the MGFA for their support and contribution in making this book possible. The works of Thomas & Wegmann may not be sufficient to qualify a KC recipient for the notability criteria of Wikipedia (your call to make), but I would disagree to say that they are unreliable sources and I would also disagree they were not endorsed (at least in 2003 they were). Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:19, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I see that the Thomas & Wegman books were sold in the museum, and that the authors thanked the Archives in the preface of the book. The latter is a routine "thank you" that one would normally see for granting access; the former does not imply an endorsements. We'd need something stronger to support that these books were endorsed by the MFGA. Some reviews were provided in AfD of Heinrich Debus and they are very far from an endorsement.

  • DElete -- This award was too common for every recipient to get an article. There is no detail of why his service was exceptional. I accept that we have a RS, but that still leaves him NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:53, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "Directory" hits it quite well. Thomas & Wegmann collect the names and military biographies of KC recipients by using archival records directly related to the award process, but they did not conduct further research, e.g. look for other sources to verify the accounts. Their multiple volumes might suffice as a directory, but it does not mean that their account of the events which lead to an award is historically accurate. They merely reproduce the claims made within the context of the recommendation and, above all, the reasons officially given for the award. Besides, as historian Bernd Wegner, whose book on the Waffen-SS is still considered to be the standard work, warned in 2000, it is not feasible to portray the Waffen-SS as an ordinary military unit made up of "normal" soldiers. Simply looking at the battles of the Waffen-SS without recognizing the history of the SS and of National Socialism as such would be ahistorical.
Concerning notability Bachmann is a good case in point. It is according to German sources that he "forced back the Soviet Union forces trying to take Budapest, several kilometers." That's all we know. The circumstances of his efforts are unclear and so far I haven't seen any sources providing further details or acknowledgement. He isn't mentioned in Charles Sydnor's Soldiers of Destruction (1977; 1990), a history of the Totenkopf Division, neither in Krisztián Ungváry's Battle for Budapest (engl. 2003), nor in the apologetic Budapest: The Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS (2001) by revisionist Richard Landwehr. That doen't speak for notability.--Assayer (talk) 23:29, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability extremely questionable. Per WP:AUTHOR and WP:CREATIVE the article dose not passed the criteria and failed WP:NPOV. No significant coverage and reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Written like a resume. All of the references are given in a tricky way try to make fool the readers. In the given references, there are some of personal website links, university prospectus, even YouTube links and multiple dead links. Hundreds of academics are reported in each university's website, that alone doesn't make them notable. Also the person is not known widely and not received notable award for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique in his literary/creative works. Self-published article, cause article creator have no edit except this. I was surprised that, how Wikipedia contains this article since 2007! In 2008, Administrator Ragib asked for the notability in the talk page. ~ Moheen (talk) 20:38, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • DeleteKeep (Updated, see Ragib's comment). This is odd. I can vaguely remember his name and he is definitely a published author. However, none of the cited links checks out. None of his appointments checks out from relevant websites. Either he is Not Notable or the entire article is filled with miss-information. Some part of the article may even be hoax. IDK. But, I'd concur with all of nom, and would say the subject matter of the article is not-verifiable. So, Delete. --nafSadh did say 17:11, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep: I was the user who originally prodded it back in 2008 or so. However, since then I have come up with enough proof of notability to my satisfaction. Mr. Mahmud is an award winning author -- he has indeed won the Agrani Bank award for juvenile literature. Note that this is the top award in Bangladesh for children's literature. Quoting Bangladesh Shishu Academy, Before introducing Bangladesh Shishu Academy Award in 1396 BS, this was the major national award for children's literature.. Mr. Mahmud uses two names -- Sezan Mahmud is his pen name, while professionally, his real name is Saleh M. M. Rahman. I have personally verified his professional credentials (after all, he's an alumnus of my current workplace), and it is incorrect that his appointments do not check out ... they do [41]. Besides his books, he also wrote the lyrics of many popular pop songs in Bangladesh (Bangladeshis can recall these songs I guess, "নেলসন মেন্ডেলা (ফকির আলমগীর), আমি নই সেই বনলতা সেন (কনকচাঁপা), কোন এক সুন্দরী রাতে (সামিনা চৌধুরী),). Overall, te article needs good citations, but the author is definitely notable. --Ragib (talk) 16:51, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying the confusion regarding the two names. Can you provide a verifiable reference for the fact that he won the Agrani Bank award for juvenile literature? Right now this claim in the article remains unsourced. Or rather, there is kind of a reference "[Shishu, 15th year, 5th vol. p 43-46]" but it is unclear what this reference actually means. Nsk92 (talk) 20:25, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nsk92, Shishu (শিশু) used to be the official publication/magazine by Bangladesh Shishu Academy. I do not know if it is still published now. The reference you mentioned seems to refer to a print edition of Shishu. Such references are fine for WP:V. Not all references have to be online. Given the award predates the Web and no Bangladeshi newspaper maintains online archives, a web reference is unsurprisingly not available. --Ragib (talk) 06:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! Good. Thanks for your input. I guess I only tried with his pen name. It feels really odd, when the name sounds really familiar and I can't relate. --nafSadh did say 18:58, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I haven't formulated an opinion on his notability as an author, but thanks to Ragib I was able to look him up as a professor of medicine. Given his citations on Google scholar [42], he does not appear to pass WP:PROF#C1, and I don't see any evidence of passing other WP:PROF criteria, so if he is notable I think it would have to be only as an author. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:12, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Content fork of information better served either in the Entrepreneurship article (where it already has a section) or in the Feminism article, where 'Entrepreneurial feminism' is not mentioned once. Readers are unlikely to find this information here, and it does not seem to warrant a standalone article. InsertCleverPhraseHere 20:57, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like all articles related to Feminine capital, feminine entrepreneurship, feminist business, and Barbara Jayne Orser are being targetted by Insertcleverphrasehere. This is very unprofessional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinjsp (talkcontribs) 20:59, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, these articles were all recently brought to my attention, by yourself on the AfD for Barbara Jayne Orser. While Barbara Jayne Orser's book might be notable, if only because of a single book review and a couple of news articles that mention it that I found (Which I added to the talk page), the others do not seem to warrant standalone articles. InsertCleverPhraseHere 21:07, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The other articles were reviewed and approved by others, before your kind proposal and now nominations for deletion. Others considered these articles to be valid and reviewed them. You're the only one targeting all related articles for deletion. The topic is new and avant-gardiste, as is much in feminism. This is the next big thing in feminist business and female empowerment. The "feminism" article will be updated, we are drafting content currently to add to the article and to link to the other standalone articles from within and to "feminism." We do appreciate your suggestion that we add to "feminism".

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinjsp (talkcontribs) 21:11, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly this is entirely PROD material and should be deleted as such, but in case it's simply boldly removed with no explanations at all, here we are; my own searchhes are not finding better (in fact they nearly found nothing at all from a few trivial mentions from 10 years ago) and, not only are the current sources consisting of trivial interviews and "videos", some of the ones that even come from known news sources are not actually substantial; the NYTimes simply talks about what there is to know about him, the "Alternet" (questionable source in itself) is a clear interview. He's certainly not notable as an author as he only has a trivial library holding count. Essentially, the article bears to simply being an overpuffed article about what there is to know about his career. I'll also note the sheer fact this has existed for nearly 11 years now and it has hardly ever changed, presumably of course by the facts there's essentially no actual improvements to be made. SwisterTwister talk 03:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Meets WP:GNG just from the sources already in the article. To clarify, I do not hold the interviews as "trivial". They are focused, and they are not only from one source, but from multiple reliable sources. This is definitely sufficient notability. Fieari (talk) 04:01, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:GNG is still not convincing to overwhelmingly and confidently keep this article as a both independently notable and substantial article; I have listed my concerns above including the fact there's essentially nothing else apart from those events itself; having an interview is trivial because it shows there's nothing of actual journalism note there, and it's essentially simply the subject speaking himself. Being "from multiple news sources" is not convincing to actually both keep and improve this, which it would seriously need, and since my notes above mention all of this including the fact the article is puffingly mentioning all there is to know about his career, there states the unconvincing for this "sufficient notability". SwisterTwister talk 04:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm sorry, but your arguments just sound (to me) like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. GNG only requires coverage from multiple reliable sources in a context that is about the subject. The fact that you aren't a fan of that coverage is irrelevant. As I read it, this article clearly and objectively passes the requirement. Fieari (talk) 04:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I never stated that I hated or had any actual feelings about the coverage at all (there's no need to twice mention how I supposedly felt about it or not), I merely stated the facts about what it was and how it concerns the article itself; I still confirm my concerns as they are clear, exact and specific. To note the GNG claims again, it's not "significant coverage" if it all simply boils to simply state the specifics and overall information about his career.

  • CommentWP:AUTHOR has no mention of notability being associated with library holdings. The subject's book, The Sutras of Abu Ghraib, has been reviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle (Article link), and coverage about the subject meets WP:BASIC. Regarding library holdings, for starters, the book is catalogued by the National Library of Australia (Link). North America1000 21:04, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to closer - This AfD has noticeably become overpersonal in that the nomination is being criticized yet I have laid the concerns clearly. The claims of "You don't like the article and No efforts" are blatant in that they have no actual involvement in this AfD are therefore unnecessary. The consensus that library holdings help for notability is that, although not shown in the current listed notabilities, Wikipedia AfDs can make their own thoughts and consensus, including when it comes to advertisements, none of the comments here have come close to mentioning or acknowledging that. Simply stating WP:BASIC or a mere review is hardly the numerical substance we actually need, and if that suggests that's simply the best there is; it shows the type of improvements there would be, if all that would thinly change this article were merely a review. SwisterTwister talk 22:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @STSpeaking for myself, and likely for the others, I believe we understand that you would like to reject these sources. I even agree that consensus CAN reject these sources. Where we disagree is that we DON'T reject these sources. I, and the others who have voted keep, all seem to agree that we ACCEPT these sources. This appears to be the consensus that is building. I understand your arguments, I simply disagree with them. It appears that the others do as well. Please note that when I cited WP:IDONTLIKEIT, I wasn't referring to you not liking the article so much as not liking the sources. You clearly don't like the sources. But simply not liking the sources is not, in my opinion, a reason to reject sources as establishing notability. It appears the other keep !voters agree with me, and disagree with you. Fieari (talk) 01:06, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What I also said is that, unfortunately like several AfDs at this time, this one is getting overpersonal with overpersonal comments, that is not relevant to this AfD, no form of "agreement" with these forms of comments would be "consensus" or acceptable. With this said, I never said I explicitly "did not like these sources", I'm stating why they are not acceptable for this AfD and article. If this is closed as Keep, it shows the exact type of ignoring of genuine concerns and comments, and the allowing of having such overpersonal comments as have happened here. What would be appropriate is that this is relisted to allow uninvolved people, and hopefully, not overpersonal comments. SwisterTwister talk 01:13, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not ignoring genuine concerns and comments. I am not ignoring them! I am disagreeing with them! You reject these sources. I find your reasons for rejecting these sources invalid per Wikipedia policy AND community consensus. Yes, consensus can change, but I don't believe that it has here.

  • Delete. on the basis of promotionalism. Read the text. Adjectives of praise sprinkled throughout, and the career being made to appear as important as possible. Borderline notability is possible, but it doesn't actually matter. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. Small variations to the notability standard either way do not fundamentally harm the encycopedia, but accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encyclopedia. DGG ( talk ) 01:15, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I frankly would've PROded but it may simply be driveby removed; my own searches are not finding anything better at all than simple guides showing what the software is and how to use it; in fact, that's what the current sources are themselves; none of them actually form any significant and convincing substance, two of the even closest sources to not being as blatant (I use that with certain leniency, because the sources are still in fact blatantly PR) are the InfoWorld and TechRepublic, but I'll note they are essentially still only guides themselves.

  • Keep WP:NHOOPS includes a provision of "or a similar major professional sports league." He played six games in the Polish Basketball League. So I think the question is if the PBL is high enough to qualify as a major professional league. The wikipedia page says its professional and their champions have historically, including the year he played, automatically qualified for the regular season of the Euroleague. To me, that is enough to say he meets the presumption. RonSigPi (talk) 23:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The PBL doesn't specifically meet the guideline and I don't think it is accurate to say that every player who has ever played even one game in the league should be presumed notable, as is generally true of the leagues specifically named. If he played in Euroleague games that would be a different matter. Best bet would be to prove that this subject meets WP:GNG, as this supersedes any sport guideline anyway. If it can't be proven he meets GNG then the article should be deleted. Rikster2 (talk) 13:25, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xyzspaniel, and thanks for the inputs. As there are 24 total sources and English sources are only 5 or so, I am wondering if there is someone who can check through the non-English sources too. But I had another query. The following English sources seem to provide a non-trivial and substantial mention of the subject: Jakarta Post, 2nd article from Jakarta Post, Yahoo Singapore, Jakarta Globe, another Jakarta Globe article. The subject seems to qualify on WP:BASIC in my opinion, purely considering the English sources. Of course, there are the other 20 non-English sources. He is a famous rocker's son, which all newspaper's quote, but the newspapers at the same time also discuss the subject at length. What would be your inputs on my BASIC query? Thanks in advance for your comments. Lourdes 01:15, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete I know nothing of the subject. However, a simple search of online news sources normally considered reliable and independent show that there are none that I can find. For example, top listings in google are the Wikipeida article in question, some youtube videos, pintrest, etc. I cannot find any measure of notability that we use here.

Keep : Meem became a champion of Notun Kuri in a season in the 1980s. Notun Kuri is a national child talent reality program on Bangladesh Television, run by the Government of Bangladesh since 1976. This clearly passes WP:ANYBIO. Besides, she was a popular child artiste (link). She is currently a television news presenter and anchor. But I admit she does not have much success as a grown up actress. Altaf (talk) 23:32, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not all categories of AVN Award satisfy the "well-known" standard of PORNBIO. That's the working consensus of recent AfD debates. Winning niche award categories does not establish notability by itself. A claim that a fan award does is dubious.

What's "delectionism", Does it mean someone who goes out of their way to deselect everything like these Checkboxes ?, –Davey2010Talk 11:11, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
deletionism / deletionist, it mean someone who cause damage in Wikipedia, who wants to destroys the work of other users. For example: article Keiran Lee show pornographic actor, In 2012, Brazzers placed a billboard advertisement with a photo of him on Sunset Boulevard.[7] He has hosted the reality-show The Sex Factor. No. of adult films: 1036! as a performer & 1 as a director. Keiran Lee won two awards: 2007 UK Adult Film and Television Award – Best Male Actor[11] and 2016 AVN Award – Favorite Male Performer + some nominations. There are non-pornographic sources, meets of WP:GNG. But, no - few users-extreme deletionists must remove this. This destructive action, extreme deletionism is cancer who eats Wikipedia.

  • Keep Anyone with an inkling of knowledge about the deletionism enthusiast fanbase on Wikipedia knows that the criteria for porn-related articles for some reason need to be higher than those for sport-related articles, fashion-related articles and pretty much any other niche on Wikipedia. Why? Who knows. So I'm going to pretend that Keiran Lee is a male badminton player, in which case (per the sufficient amount of sources) he would be notable as per GNG. Pwolit iets (talk) 00:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment about "high expectations" -- Wikipedia operates to an academic standard; it's an encyclopedia after all. It's not a WP:Indiscriminate collection of information. In addition, the RS requirement is more stringent for notability vs simply for content. Mr Lee clearly does not meet the required threshold of being a subject of WP:SIGCOV, as required by the notability guideline. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no way this satisfies GNG. Neither does it satisfy the lower expectations of PORNBIO. As for the rants about "Deletionism", did you ever realise that the runaway "Inclusionism" of yesteryears is responsible for what Wikipedia has become? A place for promotional article about non-notable topics? All of this reduces the long term credibility of the encyclopaedia turning us into just another internet site where anyone can add information and people use it as a medium for promotion. An encyclopaedia is supposed to be accurate and NPOV, which is why we require significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. (See WP:WHYN). That clearly isn't happening here. Wikipedia is the sum of all human knowledge, not the sum of all human garbage. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:34, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Quarterbacks at Division I FBS level almost always get sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG. Heeres was a quarterback at a level three tiers below that, Division I FBS --> Division I FCS --> Division II --> NCAA Division III. He does not satisfy WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH, and I am not finding significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources of the type that would pass the GNG bar. If such coverage is found and presented here, I am willing to reconsider my vote. Cbl62 (talk) 03:25, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete High school and college ballplayer. All American in college but that is not sufficient for notability. Drafted by MLB (highschool) and NFL but never played pro. Does not meet WP:ATHLETE. Apparently now some sort of motivational speaker, but the supposedly "notable quotes" and "inspiring words" in the article are less than convincing. The listed sources are useless for showing notability (the Falcon's 1985 roster ref is probably the best WP:RS in the article, but it is there to show that he was not on the roster. Fails WP:GNG. This article appears to exist to bolster the addition of Greg Heeres to various notable resident/alumni lists. Meters (talk) 03:26, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If he truly were an All-American quarterback, he would pass WP:NCOLLATH, but I find no sources to back up that claim. Cbl62 (talk) 03:32, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I find the claim that he was drafted by MLB while he was still in highschool a bit dubious too. Thanks for the correction. I should have realized that.Meters (talk) 03:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I should clarify. The baseball draft is certainly possible, but it's only cited to the subject's personal webpage, and with all of the rounds in the MLB draft it really does not mean much if he was drafted.
I've done a lot of research on All-Americans, and you'd be surprised how often colleges publish erroneous information about All-Americans (sometimes including second- or third-team, and even "honorable mention" recipients. That's IMO a good reason why we have a policy of regarding info published by a college player's alma mater as not being independent for GNG purposes. In any event, I searched newspapers.com and find nothing showing him as an All-American. The best I could find was an All-MIAA honor in 1983. See here. Cbl62 (talk) 21:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment He is not included in 1984 College Football All-America Team which seems to list the all American teams as chosen by the five selectors recognized as official by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. We would need a solid source showing that one of those five selectors chose him.
This article is getting harder and harder to take seriously. Now the source that showed that he didn't make the roster of the Falcons has been replaced by a claim [52] that he is in the team's Hall of Infamy, cited to the team's Hall of Fame page that does not mention Heeres or any such Hall of Infamy. The same edit also makes unsourced claims that he is Jewish (it could be true, but we don't include such unsourced statements of Religion) and had Swastikas carved into his car at Hope College. The source for that claim is actually a report of a 2015 incident (three decades after Heeres was at Hope College) at a different college (Calvin) in a different town and involved finger writing in snow rather than carving. Of course, Heeres is not mentioned. Meters (talk) 20:33, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
1984 College Football All-America Team only lists Division I All-Americans, Heeres is in Division II. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Heeres actually played for a Division III program. Even if he were a Division III All-American (and I find nothing backing that up in contemporaneous newspapers), there is no presumption of notability under WP:NCOLLATH for such lower-tier selections.

I cannot find anything to show that this film is ultimately notable enough for an article. It says that it was supposed to have been released to YouTube back in March, but I have to assume that this is a typo and is meant to refer to March 2017, so it's something that hasn't released yet.

I wish the director well, but this film just isn't notable at this point in time. It's difficult for films to pass WP:NFILM and WP:NFF, let alone when it's an indie film by a young filmmaker, but there doesn't seem to have been any coverage for this in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS.

"Systemic bias" is not an excuse or synonym for "lack of usable sources." How many users of English Wikipedia can read Farsi and Russian? If they could, what are they doing here? At some point the lengths one needs to go to in order to overcome "systemic bias" are ridiculous. So, no, that's not really valid. Basically, you've found a lot of random web addresses, and that's all. MSJapan (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello MSJapan. Please don't take it otherwise. Have you attempted searching even the English sources for EDBI? I apologize much in advance if this sounds otherwise, but I think if you had, even the English sources go against your contention. All the following have absolutely significant mentions of the Export Development Bank: US Treasury, Analyzing divergent perspective about strategic direction in the Export Development Bank of Iran, scholar research, US Department of State review of Export Development Bank of Iran, Iran Business News report on Export Development Bank of Iran, IRNA news on EDBI, GT News on EDBI, The Business Year interview of EDBI CEO, Scholarly article on analyzing customer satisfaction in EDBI, Scholarly article on English speaking amongst EDBI staff, Iran Chamber News on EDBI. My view is that you should not have an absolutely negative deletionist slant against institutions like EDBI which need editorial support to spruce up content. You need to perhaps step back and not ridicule editors attempting to find sources, but rather yourself attempt to search the same before nominating. Thanks. Lourdes 17:16, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I can read Russian, and I take exception to the question of what I am doing here being asked on that basis. Don't you realise that many people can read more than one language? What are you doing here if you think that an encyclopedia should be limited to what has been written about in one language?

It's not a statutory body - it's an investment bank that happens to be owned by the government. Statutory bodies are like the SEC - they make and enforce rules; they don't engage in transactions. MSJapan (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as per the US government, and as per an absolutely large number of significant reliable sources ( US Treasury, Analyzing divergent perspective about strategic direction in the Export Development Bank of Iran, scholar research, US Department of State review of Export Development Bank of Iran, Iran Business News report on Export Development Bank of Iran, IRNA news on EDBI, GT News on EDBI, The Business Year interview of EDBI CEO, Scholarly article on analyzing customer satisfaction in EDBI, Scholarly article on English speaking amongst EDBI staff, Iran Chamber News on EDBI), it is a state owned body that has been known to engage in transactions. My apologies for repeating the sources, but I feel given the innumerable number of reliable sources available, the article needs to be improved, and not deleted here. Lourdes 17:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How is someone using data taken directly from the bank to write a paper "independent coverage" of the bank, and how does it make the organization notable because somebody used its statistical data? How is interviewing the CEO "independent coverage" when he's talking about the bank he runs? How is publishing a press release "independent coverage" when all it does is delineate a transaction and we generally exclude those from consideration? In short, these sources don't meet WP:RS. MSJapan (talk) 18:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't wish to accept scholarly research reports that have analyzed the bank's operations, despite our WP:RS guideline mentioning "When available, academic and peer-reviewed publications, scholarly monographs, and textbooks are usually the most reliable sources", then that discussion belongs to the talk page of the said article and not in an Afd. If you believe that the US Government's multiple advisories lampooning and castigating the Export Development Bank of Iran is not independent of EDBI, I would suggest you take this issue also up on the talk page of the article. I'm not clear what you're looking for. When you nominated this article, you were quoting WP:CORPDEPTH, without mentioning that EDBI is a Central Government owned bank; you also were not in the know of any of the sources mentioning EDBI. Post that, you refused to consider systemic bias, claiming the same as "ridiculous". Post that, you said that I had searched out "random web addresses". Post that, you have dismissed scholarly sources and US government's advisories as being not independent of EDBI.
And of course, you have chosen to not comment on news reports like those in Teheran Times/Menafn (which notes that EDBI is a "policy bank established by an Act of Parliament in 1991" and "continues to perform an important policy role") and others like Financial Tribune which also I have documented above. Why would you wish to delete this Iranian government policy bank article, with such strong delete assertions? I strongly encourage you to first perform a proper search for sources, before nominating this article again. Lourdes 08:43, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • [69] - this is a report of an encounter this person had with the police. These are reported in the media thousands of times each day across the country; it does not make the person reported on notable.
  • [70] - a short biographical article in a local newspaper.

Nothing to indicate notability. Created by new WP:SPA. Possibly made up, no sources indicating that it exists. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of evidence for it's existence is pretty damning, and I had been wondering why it had been so rapidly targeted for deletion. My instinct says delete, but I'd like to hear if the article creator @HowToDriveACar: has anything to say for themself, as they no longer seem to actually be a SPA.

@WikiDan61, this !vote is based on presumption of sources rather than the existence of sources... czar 17:13, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both. Only extant review is in Amiga Joker, which is at least two major publication reviews short of significant coverage. Please ping me if you find other publications. Also this discussion should have been—at the very least—a textbook redirect to the existing page. In reality, what was salvaged from the copyvio? Should have been nuked, especially since it isn't sitting at a useful redirect title (a typo). czar 17:13, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Valid english sources aside, even a cursory google search of "蔡明介" turns up a plethora of results, albeit in chinese. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 01:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't speak Chinese. Per WP:NONENG.... "Citations to non-English sources are allowed on the English Wikipedia. However, because this project is in English, English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when available and of equal quality and relevance. As with sources in English, if a dispute arises involving a citation to a non-English source, editors may request that a quotation of relevant portions of the original source be provided, either in text, in a footnote, or on the article talk page" and per WP:ONUS... "While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." Me-123567-Me (talk) 02:03, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability absent. The subject is no more than the nephew of the author of a single famous work. He did no more than leave money from his estate to a couple of donees. If WP recognises this subject as notable, then anyone with a few bucks to give away becomes worthy of notice, notwithstanding having done nothing whatsoever of particular note during their lifetime. sirlanz 23:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After cleaning up the page, I realize how little this person has to have Wikipedia page:

  • No mention in major media outlets
  • The kettlebell boxing is not a famous martial art
  • The page looked like a resume before I cleaned it up
