- Delete If the first reference were an article on Wikipedia I would call it a coat rack. It starts out talking about the park, then most of the very short article trumpets the virtues of the T-Mobile located there. The second ref shows that it exists. The third ref connects to its website. It seems some people are putting any old thing on Wikipedia. This organization is not noteworthy - the coverage is local because this is of regional concern. Also, sources other than those connected with the organization are needed. There has to be more coverage than it simply exists to be considered notable. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Searching GScholar for "UGC 10" finds about 150 hits. Many of those are false positives, but there are two papers [1], [2] that have some info about UGC 10. There is also the simbad entry UGC 10 A, which seems to be a synonym for UCG 10. These together aren't enough for notability, but that the galaxy exists, along with basic properties, is verifiable. --Mark viking (talk)

- Keep Admittedly the coverage is weak--judo gets virtually no coverage in the U.S., even during the Olympics. However, a 5 time U.S. champion (plus 4 time runner-up) along with winning 4 medals at the continental (actually inter-continental with North and South America) championships seems like significant accomplishments. Definitely meets WP:MANOTE (yes, I know that's an essay) but his accomplishments seem superior to the requirements of other sports listed at WP:NSPORT. Papaursa (talk) 23:05, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

- Comment @HitroMilanese: I tried to find some sources that would back up that she played for Victory, but she's not listed on the team's current roster and there don't seem to be any articles elsewhere referring to her on the team. Also, Moon is apparently her married name since according to a brief mention here (which mentions nothing about her being a soccer player) she married a minor league baseball player named Logan Moon this past April.

This article was created by the same editor (DaddyCell (talk · contribs)) who created the Heteropatriarchy article, and I was unsure whether to bundle the deletion nominations. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to nominate multiple related pages for deletion says "If you're unsure, don't bundle it." My argument for the deletion of this article is the same as the one for the Heteropatriarchy article. This article falls in the neologism territory. And, per WP:NEO, I'm usually not for neologism articles on Wikipedia. This term is covered in some WP:Reliable sources (see, for example, the Google Books search), but I still question its WP:Notability, and whether it should be a standalone article even if it is WP:Notable; see the WP:No page section of WP:Notability. I argue that this topic can be covered in an existing article with no need for a separate article and that our readers will be better served that way regarding the topic as well. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:23, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
This is a major term in critical theory — an interdisciplinary field that crosses philosophy, political theory, gender studies and more. It grows out of Lisa Duggan's scholarship on the homonormative, and was developed by the scholar Jasbir Puar.This is not a neologism. Is is an important, operating concept with a growing bibliography behind it. It isn't unique to Puar's work, but can be found in the work of diverse scholars. (A simple google scholar search affirms this, producing 2,415 results on a search conducted just prior to posting this.) Note: Jasbir Puar's page has been subject to homophobic and racist vandalism. This query isn't, I hope related to that. Note: Homonormative has an entry, as it should. Judyholliday (talk) 03:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- If it is a major term in critical theory, that should be fairly easy to prove. Perhaps you could provide more sources to show its relevance? Also, you assert that it is an "important, operating concept", but what makes it so important? I don't get that from the article itself. Of course, it was just created a few days ago, so perhaps it just needs a bit more time. I'm asking these questions before !voting here because I'm not sure how I feel about this AFD. I like the article, and I think a case can be made for the significance of the term, but as it currently stands, it does seem to go against WP:NEO. -- Irn (talk) 15:12, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

- The term is used by Sarah Schulman in "Israel and 'Pinkwashing,'" New York Times, Nov 22, 2011. Full article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/opinion/pinkwashing-and-israels-use-of-gays-as-a-messaging-tool.html — there, she cites Puar: "What makes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies so susceptible to pinkwashing — and its corollary, the tendency among some white gay people to privilege their racial and religious identity, a phenomenon the theorist Jasbir K. Puar has called 'homonationalism' — is the emotional legacy of homophobia. Most gay people have experienced oppression in profound ways — in the family; in distorted representations in popular culture; in systematic legal inequality that has only just begun to relent. Increasing gay rights have caused some people of good will to mistakenly judge how advanced a country is by how it responds to homosexuality."
- I could go on. It is not in widespread popular use, but it widely used in scholarship and appears in op-ed pieces in mainstream publications. This makes it a technical term in wide use by specialists (working esp. in political theory and LGBT studies), and available to the reader interested in related issues. Other technical terms with decent entries include performativity, posthuman and transhuman. Homonationalism shares some aspects of its profile with these terms, but it is in more popular use because it is so handy — thus its appearance in the Slate and New York Times op-eds. It is meant to describe the moment that LGBT gender/sexuality becomes absorbed into nationalist discourse, usually to signal a distinction from non-Western "ways of life." It is really important in LGBT studies because for so long, the inclusion of LGBT people within nationalist discourse was almost unthinkable. This has changed dramatically in the past twenty years. Hope this helps. Judyholliday (talk) 19:55, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Reluctant keep it's awful stuff but I know some reputable philosophers who take it seriously. She has quite a following in certain places. Peter Damian (talk) 15:13, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment: Judyholliday, given how neologism is defined, how is it that "homonationalism" is not a neologism? If "a relatively new or isolated term" applies, newness is not the only aspect. Furthermore, when one is talking about what is new in the literature, "new" can refer to things that that only came to be 20 or 30 years ago. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep and clean up. Some of the references aren't really references – for example one seems to be an announcement of a conference on the topic, not research related to it. Some of the styling grates – string of seven footnotes on one sentence shouts "shotgun approach" to me. But at least three of the five references I read are legit. It is a neologism, but then so are Ashoroa, Sphingobium japonicum, and Anthe (moon). Academics like naming new social theories just as much as new natural discoveries. Cnilep (talk) 05:27, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
It's a useful term in use across a range of scholarship and within communities trying to understand, for example, how to navigate national response to the Orlando shooting — in which the vulnerability of LGBT people becomes a site for nationalist identification. There is a reason we are talking about the term right now. In any case words, at some point, were new. Words grow in meaning and importance in different ways — sometimes by common, wide use and sometimes by intense use within specific communities (academics, fans, technical workers etc.). Political pressures will mark some words, however, as less important than others: "homonationalism" grows from its use by people committed to thinking from queer-of-color-perspectives, thinking and working at the intersection of power dynamics re race, sex, and nation. Anyway, yes, at one point it was a neologism. At one point the word neologism was a neologism! Homonationalism is used by a large enough community which understands what it means that it is now a technical term of some importance, useful, in particular, for talking about pressing political issues in contemporary politics.

- Weak Keep or Merge to LGBT conservatism, which looks to deal with some similar themes already. @SJK and Judyholliday: what are your thoughts on merging to that article? To be clear, I'm not proposing that they are synonymous, nor am I saying that this concept is not notable, but that this may be better covered under that larger topic (per WP:NOPAGE). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:55, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

The result was Redirect to 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. There is a clear consensus here that we should not have a standalone article on this person. However a number of people advocating deletion have raised the possibility of content being merged from this article into the article about the shootings, and nobody has raised any real objection to this. Merging isn't possible if the article is deleted and the title is a plausible search term, so I am closing as Redirect to allow any merges at editorial discretion. Hut 8.5 22:01, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the long-term notability is for this person. It is tragic that she was the youngest victim of the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, but her long-term notability seems to be in doubt, as many other victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting have been similarly chronicled by newspapers. Even giving this a wide benefit of doubt, there only seem to be 138,000 results for Murray's name – which doesn't seem to be particularly indicative of notability. Kylo, Rey, & Finn Consortium (talk) 19:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: I understand your doubts at to the "long term notability" of this person; however, I fail to see the long-term notability of biographies for people like Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine shooting. Of course, she has a myriad of books written about her, but these books were all written by relatives and the books themselves are not particularly notable books. This is not to say your point is moot but I assumed that since articles like that exist based solely on the fact that one held a superlative title in the shooting (first, youngest) then this would be a reasonable article.
- @Benmite: It turns out that Scott may or may not be notable. A case can be argued either way. However, I prefer to merge this article to the Orlando shootings article for now, unless more detailed sources about Murray come out. Kylo, Rey, & Finn Consortium (talk) 20:12, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: I am perfectly alright with the deletion of the article, as long as parts of it can be merged into the article concerning the shooting itself. I now understand that details involving her personal life are not of the utmost importance due to her lack of any particular notability; however, I do think that parts of what I included in this article could be important regarding the article about the shooting. ~benmite (talk) 20:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP1E'Subjects notable only for one event'. Unless her role is significant (beyond the obvious of having been killed tragically), this has to be a delete. Pincrete (talk) 20:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC) - Delete. Sad & tragic news but WP:BLP1E, WP:CRIME, & WP:NOTMEMORIAL apply. If we are to look at a similar issue, editors judged that Vicki Soto, one of the Sandy Hook teachers should have an article about her, written because of continuing notability re: Presidential Citizens Medal, schools/scholarships being named for her, social movements, in other words her continuing legacy. The other victims - the teachers and children - do not have articles. I don't know if it is possible to merge this with 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting or not - at a quick glance, doesn't seem like there is any place for it to fit within that article. I do regret that someone obviously put a lot of work into creating this content and that it might possibly be deleted. If the consensus is for deletion I would ask the closing administrator to consider possibly moving the content to draft space pending possible inclusion, if notability is established in the future. I don't even know if that is possible. So sad. Shearonink (talk) 22:17, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Lack of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Doesn't appear to pass WP:CORP. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:13, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- I agree that the sources are not that strong, but it is hard to find local news coverage from decades ago. These gatherings would have had a few small articles written about them in obscure papers and church magazines. The sources I found show consensus in what is stated in the article - that it was a Christian charity, active for decades, that organised many events throughout the UK. JianKwai (talk) 15:24, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

MSJapan has boldly redirected this to Johnson & Johnson#Products claiming WP:NOTPROMO, WP:NOTGUIDE. The article was prodded by CoatThese and I deprodded it and added evidence of notability on the article's talk page.

A list of social liberal parties is already included in the main article on social liberalism, see Social liberalism#Active social liberal parties and organizations. This list is therefore redundant, or in the worst case, may include inconsistencies or contradictions to the other list. It creates unnecessary extra work to maintain both lists, keep them up to date and clean them from original research (always a problem with lists of this type). This list, unlike the one in the main article, does not cite a single reference, therefore fails WP:Verifiability and has to be suspected of original research. The article social liberalism is not too long, so there is no need to outsource the list of social liberal parties to an extra article. RJFF (talk) 12:35, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Leaning WP:HOAX. Unsourced for a year. It doesn't appear in Nine Network (the network it's on), it doesn't get a hit on the network webpage, it doesn't appear in Template:Australian sports TV series (and someone should have noticed it by now), and doesn't appear in any of the named hosts' articles. I can't get a GHit on it in anything that isn't a wiki, there's no GNews, and honestly, a 2.5 hour weekly program shown in five out of six Australian states right after the news and hosted entirely by known newspeople should have a footprint. Article creator is a persistent hoaxer, but I can't outright prove it's a hoax with enough certainty. If someone wants to make that determination during the AfD because of WP:DUCK, be my guest.

- The USHL is not a major junior league, and doesn't qualify for #4. As far as passing the GNG, I only found one bit amidst the usual horde of WP:ROUTINE mentions -- a short piece on the Comcast Sports Net Chicago site.

- Delete another article on a non-notable hockey player. We have far too many of these.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:54, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep this should be a clear keep, regardless of who created the article. He has made 40 DEL appearance, 33 of those last season, the highest level of ice hockey in Germany and a fully professional league, therefore meets criteria 1 of WP:NHOCKEY. He also received coverage in German media, like in this article about him in the Augsburger Allgemeine (in German). Calistemon (talk) 08:29, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Criteria #1 does not, in fact, enshrine every top national league, a somewhat illogical premise that would bizarrely accord presumptive notability to any player in a beer league in Puerto Rico or Egypt. If you'd like a list of the leagues that count towards #1, please see WP:NHOCKEY/LA. As to your source, that looks good. Have you others? The GNG requires significant coverage from multiple sources. Ravenswing 11:41, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Doing a search for David Elsner on just the Augsburger Allgemeine website, the local newspaper for the region, brings up 19 results, among them David Elsner in an unusual position. Further google searches for David Elsner and ERC Ingolstadt combined bring up more German-language results from ice hockey-specific publications and newspapers. As to your list of notable ice hockey leagues it categorieses the Deutsche Eishockey Liga as a minor league but it is the top level professional ice hockey league in Germany as stated in criteria 1 Played one or more games in an existing or defunct top professional league. Some contradiction there but the list provided is an essay, not a binding guideline unlike WP:NHOCKEY. Calistemon (talk) 12:52, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Technically it is just as binding as NHOCKEY because NHOCKEY references it. That being said NHOCKEY itself isn't binding, only GNG is. Top level in the Wikipedia sense is not referring to the top of a countries hockey ladder. If it did we would be including players from Egypt and countries like that which clearly don't write articles about every ice hockey player. Top level means the highest leagues in the world that players can play in where every player in them would be 100% covered by multiple sources. The DEL is not that, we have found many many players who have played years in that league and never been covered at all. -DJSasso (talk) 13:00, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

A PROD was challenged and re-prodded 3 times. I don't support the PROD, but it looks like the only way to resolve this will involve AfD.
The PROD rationale was this: "this page is no longer valid. Bond Aviation Group no longer exists and all the detail on this page is either incorrect or can be accessed from a better route. It's not correct to say it has become Babcock Mission Critical Services - this is a much larger international group of companies. Bond Aviation Group has been replaced by Babcock Mission Critical Services offshore and Babcock Mission Critical Services Offshore, both of which have their own Wikipedia pages, linked from their old names of bond Air Services and Bond Offshore Helicopters."

@Flerg: - please comment
- keep - If Bond Aviation Group has ceased or changed, then the article will need updating. That is not reason to delete it though.

I absolutely have come to hate it when editors add albums that in no way meet WP:NALBUM just because there's a short press release due to a per-release video and a partial track listing. This is a clear case of WP:TOOSOON Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:38, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep IMO, Walter is being misleading. We don't have a "partial" track listing, we have a full one. It's available for anyone to see in the press release, and on the pre-order screen on iTunes. We also album cover, news coverage (including, but not limited to, Jesus Freak Hideout), promotion in the way of two official lyric video releases (one has almost 2 million views, the other just under 600,000). The album is even available for pre-ordering in online stores like the aforementioned iTunes, and the two released songs are available to listen to on Spotify. I contend this is not too soon, as Walter proposes. TrueCRaysball | #RaysUp 01:10, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- I am not being misleading in any way. You have a listing of track names, but what are the lengths of those tracks? Who wrote those tracks? Also, what about the genres. Where did you pull them from? The one RS you have doesn't discuss the genre. The one at the iTunes Store is not a RS, but at least they know that "Christian" should be capitalized. I know the JFH press release (not a RS). I have seen all of the releases through the band's Facebook and Twitter feeds. None meet RS. Now, show us the significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. breaking that down: significant coverage means that there is a great deal written about the subject, not a mention of the songs; reliable sources means that the multiple sources are all known for good reporting on the subject; independent of the subject means they're not getting payola for promoting the band and they're not just republishing press releases to fill space. I'm sorry, but when I looked I found that there are none. That's why I initially redirected and then nominated. It will be notable. Possibly as soon as eight weeks from now, but we don't peer into WP:CRYSTAL balls, we only create content for currently notable subjects, and this album, as of the first week of June 2016, is not currently notable which is why I have nominated. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:NALBUM. Also, there is hardly any material except for the track listing. The article as currently exists is specifically forbidden by the WP:NALBUM guideline. On a side note, video views is not a basis for notability. LK (talk) 05:43, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel talked to them about "trying new things" on Unleashed. Billboard magazine found out they "Feel Really Inspired", making their new album Unleashed. New Release Today staff writer Mary Nikkel predicted on how she thinks the new tracks are going to sound. I would say this satisfies general criteria for notability by now.The Cross Bearer (talk | contribs) 22:10, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the refs, but Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is from October and does not mention the album by name. Nor does the year-old Billboard ref. NRT is speculative, but interesting. Not sure this meets the coverage. However, the previous !vote that focused only on the refs in the article is not appropriate either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:07, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
@Walter Görlitz you have a point i can read the reference article on billboard magazine [1] did not mention this very album ,,, so this source is not valid Samat lib (talk) 21:01, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
References
- Comment. I agree that it is too soon to have an article on the album (and it would be great if people waited before creating such articles), but that doesn't automatically mean it should be deleted. If we have verifiable facts that are not already in the article on the band, the first option should be to merge to the article on the artist. If there's nothing appropriate to merge, then a redirect should be the next option to be considered. I see that this was redirected and reverted. With what we have now, I think a redirect would be appropriate, but with only 7 weeks to its release, it would probably be a waste of effort doing anything but leaving this and seeing what coverage emerges in the coming weeks. --Michig (talk) 06:51, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Me too. I redirected and based on previous efforts, didn't bother to have an edit war over this.

Tediously this article has been revived after a previous AfD and a speedy deletion template has been removed by an experienced editor who should know better (though I'll admit the previous AfD did not attract a great deal of participation). The sources are entirely press releases, potted biographies on business/company websites and name checks online. There's no evidence of significant reliable news coverage about Fisher.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This used to be a list of the largest such boards; now it's just a list of all these boards--yes, TV screens in football stadiums. The topic itself strikes me as fairly trivial given that just about every stadium has one (we could also list bathrooms or elevators), and a list of them is even trivialer. The sourcing doesn't add to the notability of the subject of the article: it's mostly primary sourcing, linking the stadium's website or some such thing. This is nothing more than cruft, I'm afraid--though I am happy to see that Auburn is number one in something. Drmies (talk) 02:03, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete We don't have this for NFL, MLB or NHL/NBA venues outside of sourced mentions in individual venue articles; well-sourced on first glance, but pretty much all leads back to each glory page on the scoreboard manufacturer's website (Daktronics being most prominent here). Reduce it to the top 20 largest and this might make more sense, but listing every NCAA venue with a tri-color LED screen is a bit way too much. Nate • (chatter) 09:33, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

This article is completely promotional in tone and seems to be written by people with close connections. I've just tried to follow some of the references to see what Heartland International is all about, but it's a bit of dead end really.

- Delete: It is not relevant that the organisation is no longer operating under this title, nor that its "Citizen Bridges International" successor appears to have minimal presence. However, in terms of the notability of the organisation, many of the given references are but passing mentions in local coverage. The most substantial seems to be the paragraph summary for Heartland International, among other organisations, in the "Planting International Seeds" bulletin article.
