Does not appear to be a notable dorm, as a search for coverage in reliable sources resulted in only finding brief mentions in unreliable sources. I had tagged an earlier version of this article (which was more about a band than a building) for speedy deletion, but this was declined by GB fan on the grounds that A7 doesn't apply to building. This could possibly be redirected to Black Forest Academy, but I'm not sure if this could be a plausible search term given the disambiguation. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:40, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

This is an arbitrary list of videos that offers nothing encyclopedic. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 21:53, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Beautifully written and meticulously sourced, this article represents the pinnacle of Wikipedia content and is the culmination of centuries of human progress. Denarivs (talk) 02:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep The nominator is basically accusing the article of being an indiscriminate collection of information. However, I do not think that this is the case; the list is limited to precisely 40 entries that are determined by an objective standard (specifically the number of dislikes received). Now per the indiscriminate policy, any list of data “should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources”. This article does in fact cite a number of reliable sources independent of YouTube (including the BBC, Time Magazine and the Guinness Book of World Records) describing the progression of the most disliked YouTube videos. Furthermore, the article also includes a number of sources supporting the claim that the most disliked YouTube videos are of legitimate cultural and (to a lesser extent) political interest. While at first glance this article doesn’t exactly scream “encyclopedic”, I think it’s narrow enough and has gotten enough coverage by reliable sources to justify inclusion. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:43, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Well sourced, not arbitrary. Also per what Spirit of Eagle has said. Anarchyte (work | talk) 04:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't disagree that there are a handful of secondary sources to support some of the videos are in fact notable for their amount of dislikes. What I do disagree with is significant coverage to support a list of these items. This content belongs in other places. If Rebecca Black's "Friday" was the most disliked YouTube video, it belongs on that song's article (which it currently does). I do agree with Spirit of Eagle that there is cultural significance for the amount of dislikes a video receives, I simply don't see any coverage of a "Top 40 most disliked videos on YouTube" to support this list. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 08:30, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Drewmutt: People have written articles about the most disliked YouTube videos. 1, 2, and a blacklisted link page, and that's from the first page of google. The reliability of these pages is debatable, though. Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:35, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Anarchyte: Although, as I mentioned, I agree there's decently sourced information regarding the cultural significance of heavily disliked YouTube videos, I still don't see, including your links, much support for an ongoing ranking. To use Rebecca Black's song again (my apologies), you certainly can find enough RS to say what the song is about, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to say it justifies a "List of songs referencing buses" along with "The wheels on the bus", because although there's significant coverage about them individually, there's not enough to support them as a group. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 10:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Several of the sources linked to from this article discuss the “competition” for the most disliked video, and the ranking of some of the most disliked videos at a given time. Additionally, the BBC and Times article make specific reference to the top 10 and top 18 (respectively) most disliked videos. Now it’s true that specific attention has only been paid to the top videos on the list, and that the bottom of the list has been largely ignored. However, WP:LISTN states that all of a list’s entries do not need to be covered by the sources so long as the general grouping has gotten coverage. (Also, I found a book that included a chapter entitled “Listener-Senders, Musical Irony, and the Most “Disliked” YouTube Videos”. Most of the chapter is unfortunately cut off, but the title indicates that it does in fact discuss the most disliked YouTube videos). Spirit of Eagle (talk) 22:04, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Spirit of Eagle: Honestly I was not expecting a push back... We cannot write random "lists of" article based on every statistical anomaly. The deviation itself needs to have credible reliable sources so the question in mind is "Why should we consider the most disliked aspect of these videos notable". The individual videos are notable, but not the fact that they are most disliked independently as the most disliked is an arbitrary feature. Otherwise we would have strange articles such as most disliked videos on YouTube by demographics, nationality and whatever other statistics available on YouTube for the very same videos. That is probably why List of most liked YouTube videos, List of most viewed YouTube videos and List of most disliked YouTube videos have so much overlap. It is pretty much the same list with different ranking. Just sort the videos by name to see what I mean. This should not be very surprising since all we are covering in these articles is the number of clicks on buttons (most liked/disliked) and number of views. So, what about it? The like button has been pressed 5.3 million times (rank 14) for "All About That Bass" and the dislike button was pressed 0.61 million times (rank 32) for that same video which was viewed a total of 1.735 billion times (rank 14). What does this statistical information offer us? What about "Gangnam Style" which was liked 11.91 million times (rank 2), disliked 1.694 million times (rank 6) and viewed 2.759 billion (rank 1)? I just pulled two random examples from these three lists. The more popular a video is the more like/dislike clicks it will receive. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:20, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- I agree that we should only create statistical list articles when there are reliable sources independent of the subject talking about the list subject. However, my basic argument for keeping this specific statistical listing is that there are in fact reliable sources independent of YouTube that provide coverage to the article’s topic. If someone were to create a list such as “Most Liked YouTube Videos by Canadians”, then I would vote to delete it since there are no reliable sources discussing the list topic (nor does YouTube track most viewed videos by demographic group for that matter). Spirit of Eagle (talk) 22:39, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Spirit of Eagle: Each video has such statistics for demographics. I remember them being publicly available but that seemingly has changed at some point. My point is number of likes/dislikes are just as arbitrary as any other information. On the other hand, a liked percentage column in the main List of most viewed YouTube videos would fulfill the role of the two lists (liked/disliked) in one go. Do you see what I mean with this? These pages have very little purpose aside from inadequately mirroring List of most viewed YouTube videos. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 11:45, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- @とある白い猫:I went through and counted the appearances of the videos listed in this article in the List of most viewed YouTube videos. For the count, any video that appeared anywhere in any of the lists in the most viewed article was counted. In my overall count, 17 videos appeared in both articles, while 23 videos appeared solely in this article. In other words, an outright majority of videos in this article make no appearance in the most viewed article. Additionally, amongst the top 10 most disliked videos, only 3 (Baby, Gagnam Style and Wrecking Ball) appeared in the most viewed article. Of the top 20 most disliked articles, only 6 appeared in the most viewed article (Sorry, Wheels on the Bus, and Маша плюс каша in addition to the three listed previously). My point is that while there is some overlap, the majority of listings, particularly in the top half, do not appear in the most viewed article. Simply adding a "percent liked" column to the most viewed article would eliminate the majority of most disliked videos, including several that got media coverage for being the most disliked. I'm not necessarily opposed to merging some of these statistic articles, but any such merge needs to be orderly and not result in the deletion of content covered in reliable sources. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call 57.5% overwhelming. The only information to be merged would be the paragraphs (the more interesting part) and the tables (in the form of a column). This pretty much covers everything presented on the page. I imagine it would be more fruitful to discuss liked/disliked videos in the single list would make more sense. The non-overlapping videos could be merged into the most viewed IMHO. I just do not see "most liked/disliked" as a valid criteria as a standalone topic. It is an interesting feature, do not get me wrong, just not a standalone topic. It is like having a list of article on most liked Facebook posts... -- A Certain White Cat chi? 00:38, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Also bear in mind that the like/dislike buttons are a more recent thing. In the past YouTube had a 5 star system to vote for videos. So this is not even a consistent metric. In the future, YouTube could change its algorithm to remove the 'dislike' button altogether for example. Or start ignoring some likes/dislikes to combat fake votes. How can we treat such an inconsistent standard a reliable source? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 09:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Considerations:
- It is a list that will eventually have no members. In spite of its title, it Is a list of Easy Company survivors and gets shorter every year. The list apparently started as an effort to include everyone but its focus shifted after its creation; many member of the unit had no notoriety.
- None of the soldiers who appear now or have ever appeared on the list meet the standards in WP:SOLDIER.
- The existence of the list is primarily based on the airing of the cable series Band of Brothers (miniseries).

- Delete This list includes non-notable veterans about whom there are sources verifying they had served in this company. They would not be included in the list at 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) which are the notable Soldiers, only. I'm ok with that. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:42, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete -- Too specific to be encyclopedic. However it is perhaps surprising that 5 people from one company should be WP-notable. The objection about living veterans is invalid: people do not cease to be veterans by ceasing to be living veterans. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:24, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Why does this list only contain living veterans, anyway? I like the format of the list, and given the large number of individuals at E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States)#Personnel with pages: why not spin off that list to its own article; why not let the list have be in the format of a sortable table; and if the list has its own article, would List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans be the appropriate name for the article? My !vote would be that there probably doesn't need to be a list of notable and non-notable veterans of a famous group of this size (living only or living and non-living). On the other hand, the encyclopedia probably would be improved by an article listing notable members of the company in the format of a sortable table with the sort of information in this list, and I am in favor of that (and would support merging/renaming this list to that).

Delete. WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor, in a city not internationally prominent enough to hand its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass. While consensus formerly accepted Winnipeg as a city that got its councillors into Wikipedia on the grounds that it was listed in the article on global city, that's more recently been deprecated because it was listed only in the "sufficiency" class of quasi-global cities and not as a true alpha, beta or gamma class world city. But what we have for sourcing here is not enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu -- this is based on just two pieces of local media sourcing, neither of which is even about his political career: one just quotes his opinions on the economic situation seven years after he left office, and the second is about his son's new election to city council sixteen years later. This is not enough to demonstrate a city councillor as more notable than the norm, which is the standard that Winnipeg's city councillors now have to meet. Bearcat (talk) 20:39, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Weak delete. There just isn't enough about him for an entry. He seems to be notable in part because he is the father of a sitting representative and this information could be included on that page. Bangabandhu (talk) 23:29, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Notability is not inherited, so being the father of another person isn't a notability claim in and of itself — if he isn't notable enough for an article by himself, then having a possibly more notable son doesn't make him any more notable than he was before. Bearcat (talk) 00:05, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I wasn't saying he was notable because of his son. I was saying that it seems like any claim of notability would probably involve his family relations. Of course, that alone isn't enough to satisfy GNG, but it does suggest that he could be mentioned on his son's page.
- On a related point, it seems like you're judging notability too unidimensionally. Is subject a politician of a city with X population? Where X is less than Y, then delete. I think its much more complex than that. A local politician of any area who does important things and has the supporting refs deserves inclusion. You might look at it more as a scorecard, where status as a local politician alone is not enough to satisfy the threshold. But a local pol who has done lots of stuff, got lots of attention (good or bad) - this should get additional points and satisfy the threshold for inclusion. Of course, that's not the case here. Bangabandhu (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- You're misinterpreting what I'm saying. Of course it's true that a local politician who has done lots of stuff, and got lots of media attention for it, clears the WP:GNG bar — the "population of the city" test comes into play only in the sense of determining whether or not the person gets a presumption of notability for an article that isn't substantive or properly sourced yet. In the global cities (e.g. Toronto, New York City, London), we know that the necessary depth and volume of sourcing is virtually guaranteed to be available in nearly all cases — so we allow the article to be kept even if it's in an inadequate state of sourcing right now, because the articles are virtually guaranteed to be improvable. (It may still become deletable in the future if the sourcing fails to materialize — e.g. a person could theoretically win election as a city councillor, but then resign or die so soon afterward that we can never actually source anything else about them besides the fact of winning the election itself — but in that rarefied class of cities, we allow the article to exist up front and the GNG to build up as the article gets worked on.)
- Outside of that range of cities, however, it's much more of a toss-up as to whether the necessary depth and volume of sourcing will exist or not — so those councillors can still get Wikipedia articles if the necessary depth and volume of sourcing can be shown, but are not guaranteed inclusion on the basis of just one or two sources. Note, for example, that I have not nominated several other people who also have not held any office higher than Winnipeg's city council, but whose articles are citing a lot more sources than the ones I have listed. That is, for example, why I haven't nominated Russ Wyatt's article alongside his dad's: Reg's article cites just two sources while Russ's cites 63 — which means Russ has been shown to clear GNG in a way that Reg hasn't.
- In a nutshell, the size of the city doesn't matter if a city councillor passes GNG on the basis of solid and substantive sourcing — where it comes into play is the question of whether or not we give the benefit of the doubt to an article that isn't substantive or solidly sourced yet. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. From what I'd seen on other pages of legislators proposed for deletion, it seemed like the process was different. I wouldn't expect that winning office alone would be enough for notability and I support that criteria. But it seems that there is added scrutiny to many of the pages of these people. There shouldn't be a presumption of notability, but there also shouldn't be a presumption of non-notability, even if all the coverage is local. As many editors don't take the time to review sources before they reach a decision in the AFD discussion, there is a real bias towards deleting and an assumption of non-notability. Its easier to apply the "oh, its a small town politician - delete" rather than taking the time to look for sources. Again, its much better to err on the side of keeping something up so that additional sources can be found rather than deleting. Bangabandhu (talk) 01:55, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

WP:SPIP JohnMarkOckerbloom (talk) 20:32, 9 February 2017 (UTC) This looks to be a self-promotional article that tried to sneak past the radar by overwriting an existing page (Viña del Mar Open) instead of creating a new one. Except for some minor recent copy-editing, the text that took it over has only one editor (User:Wimhyn), whose only contribution in main-space appears to be this article, on the day it took over the old article. The references all appear to be to promotional sites-- either PR news release sites that anyone can post to, or company sites controlled by the subject of the article-- and the facts (like the author's supposed $1.25 billion net worth) not verifiable. The book prominently mentioned in the article ("Conquering thy death") cannot be found in WorldCat or the Library of Congress.

- Weak Delete. I concur that this article probably doesn't meet current requirements.

- Keep I think this is a stellar example of "consensus" being hastily applied. I am dubious of all the unsourced awards and would like to see them removed, or at a minimum given references, but I can't fathom how this subject could ever be considered not notable. As UltraExactZZ suggests, this idea of notability is a moving target and editors who insist on deletion ought to realize how the pendulum could (and should) swing to a wider interpretation. Sadly, at that point, many of these entries will be gone. Bangabandhu (talk) 04:06, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES. It is not that city councilmembers are not notable, but that there is not a presumption of notability for city councilmembers. As Bearcat recently wrote, WP:NPOL notability "is achieved in one of two ways: either the coverage nationalizes into sources far beyond the geographic range in which such coverage is merely expected, and/or the local coverage volumizes to the point where a much more substantial article can be written." In this case, it does not appear there is either the volume of substantive coverage, nor does there appear an expansion of geographic scope of coverage. --Enos733 (talk) 20:02, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep- What leads editors to conclude that "subject has not received significant coverage"? Based on the most cursory of searches, I came across this recent article suggesting that the subject remains active and relevant. I think that an exhaustive search would yield a lot more results. If you delete all this work will need to be recreated if that search is conducted.
I would add that classifying tiers of cities seems imprecise at best and more likely unfair and predjudicial. Bangabandhu (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- A city councillor has to receive more than purely local coverage to qualify for a Wikipedia article, so that article doesn't assist anything. The reason we make exceptions for the top tier of international global cities is that they do routinely receive much broader national and/or international coverage than city councillors in small cities do — I'm Canadian, and I can personally name more municipal councillors in New York City than I can in even the suburbs of my own city, because city councillors in NYC get nationalized coverage where city councillors in Pickering ON or Vaughan ON generally don't. And local coverage of local politics always exists, so we would always have to permit articles about every municipal councillor in every village of 50 people if local coverage alone were enough. So to make a city councillor in Winnipeg notable enough for a Wikipedia article, you would need to show coverage in the Vancouver Sun or the Toronto Star or The New York Times, not just in the Winnipeg Free Press or the local Metro. Bearcat (talk) 00:14, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I understand the point that you're making, though I think "every village of 50 people" is a bit of an exaggeration. My concern with these relatively indiscriminate nominations for deletion is that few editors are taking the time to really see if that broader coverage exists. Because its been nominated for deletion, the assumption is that additional coverage doesn't exist if it's not cited in the article, which leads to the conclusion that deletion is appropriate. In this instance, and I suspect many others, the subject has received national coverage and it is important that the entry remain. Why delete knowledge in this page and the work that went into it? Much better to err on the side of caution. Bangabandhu (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- That link doesn't represent substantive national coverage that strengthens his WP:GNG claim at all. It's not a substantive article about him published by the CBC's national news division — it's a glancing namecheck of his existence in a blurb whose primary subject is Glen Murray, and which was published by the CBC's local news bureau in Winnipeg. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I think this shows adequate sourcing beyond the basic citations of an officeholder in Winnipeg. At the risk of violating protocol by mixing threads, you commented elsewhere that "so those councillors can still get Wikipedia articles if the necessary depth and volume of sourcing can be shown, but are not guaranteed inclusion on the basis of just one or two sources." We're well beyond one or two sources for this entry. If he were in a different, larger city - say, Calgary? - then he wouldn't need any of these sources - but because he's in Winnipeg and has a bunch of other sources, many of which are quite interesting, he's a target for deletion. That seems mistaken. Bangabandhu (talk) 03:45, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- You're still misinterpreting what I'm saying. In a global city (and only in a global city), you can start the article on the basis of one or two sources which confirm that he exists, but the article does still have to get improved from there before it's actually on safe ground as a thing we're going to keep forever. Even in Toronto, there have been municipal councillors who got deleted because better sourcing never actually materialized. What it gets is "the benefit of the doubt", because in a global city it's perfectly reasonable to expect that the depth and volume of reliable sourcing needed to pass GNG does exist even if it hasn't been properly shown yet, but it does not get a permanent exemption from ever having to be sourced better than just one or two sources — it just gets a "grace period" during which it does still need to be improved, and can still be deleted if it doesn't. But in a non-global city, the necessary depth and volume of sourcing might still exist but is far less guaranteed to exist — so in that class of cities, the existence of the needed quality of sourcing has to be shown up front by the article as written.
- But neither type of city councillor gets a permanent keep on the basis of one or two sources, with no improvement ever required — a global city councillor gets a temporary benefit of the doubt if the article isn't well-sourced yet, but does not get a permanent exemption from ever having to be sourced as well as a non-global city councillor does. Both types of city councillors do have to clear GNG for an article to be kept permanently — the only difference is that a non-global city councillor has to be shown to clear GNG right up front, while a global city councillor gets a temporary grace period of "okay, you have X number of days or weeks to get this article over GNG", but even the global city councillor's article can still be deleted if that improvement doesn't happen. If the necessary depth and volume of sourcing fails to materialize for some reason, then the global city councillor does still fail NPOL #3 and does still get deleted.
- And no, a 100-word blurb about Glen Murray reshuffling his executive committee positions is not "adequate sourcing beyond the basic citations of an officeholder in Winnipeg" — it's WP:ROUTINE local coverage of a routine local political announcement, which in no way demonstrates that Steek is somehow more notable than the norm for a city councillor. It is a basic citation for the fact that he exists, not a "beyond the basic" citation for his existence warranting Wikipedia's attention. Bearcat (talk) 14:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- That's helpful. It might make sense to make it explicit by exactly when those sources need to materialize to avoid deletion. I think the model used by the Deaths in 2017 could be something to go from as they have a standard 30 day requirement for entries. I think you (or editors with consensus) should state this grace period. Its troubling looking back and seeing that these are second nominations. There was not much reason to delete them when they were AFD'd before or support for deletion. I wonder if this is more of a herd mentality at play (and an quick interpretation of NPOL) rather than actually looking at the articles on their merits. As far as I can tell, the guidelines haven't changed, but editor's interpretation has.
- Also I think more benefit of the doubt is warranted. You're saying that you've given them X days, but maybe at that point you should tag it for discussion. Have all of these pages have the "needs additional citations" tag applied before they were nominated for deletion? That seems fair if the initial goal is to help them achieve adquate references before they're nominated for deletion.Bangabandhu (talk) 18:11, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Two things. 1) Consensus can and does change. In the case of "global cities," there was a presumption that the city councilmembers could be presumed notable (and the presumption of notability is that mere confirmation that the subject serves in a particular office is sufficient sourcing for an article is sufficient). That consensus is under going change. 2) WP:BLP states that "editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page." Thus, for the creation of biographies, there is a presumption of privacy. Additionally, for information on people "who are not well known," editors should "include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources." --Enos733 (talk) 21:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- I understand that consensus can and does change, but I wonder how many editors outside of those who frequent AFD discussions are familiar with the shift. I certainly wasn't. I bet there are many others like me who have edited pages about local politicians and would be surprised. So I wonder how broad any emerging consensus really is. The other thing is that it seems like editors are interpreting consensus "under going change" as new, widely held consensus. There ought to be a lively, detailed discussion for each one of these entries. Instead, it seems like editors are citing "new consensus" and basing their decisions to delete based on that, without, at times, even reading the article. This is especially troubling for living subjects who are still active in government and likely to have more notability over time. If they're on the cusp of notability we ought to give them the benefit of the doubt because more coverage will come - as suggested in another thread, there should be a grace period that is consistently followed. Pages improve incrementally, so if you pull the plug on something while its still improving, you're losing all that work which, if recreated based on new articles, is likely going to take a while to reach is pre-deletion state.
- As to your point about standards for bios, I agree with you about the importance of high quality sourcing. I only use reputable secondary sources and expect the same from other editors. But that's a dimension for these discussions that hasn't come into play, perhaps because many editors aren't even reading the sources and only looking at whether the subject and their title fits with consensus.

- There's no "emerging" new consensus that the standards for determining the notability or non-notability of local politicians is changing at all — the consensus that most local politicians don't qualify for an automatic presumption of notability has existed for about a decade, and really hasn't moved all that much beyond a bit of debate about whether a few particular cities happen to fall on the "presumed notable" or the "not presumed notable until shown to pass GNG" side of the line. The only thing that's changed recently is our depth of commitment to actually getting stuff cleaned up or deleted that isn't complying with the longstanding consensus, not the consensus itself. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for that clarification, I was using another editors words when I wrote emerging consensus. I think this is an important discussion and support the aim of cleaning up wikipedia, but I think the AFD debate is often counterproductive. It ought to focus more on how articles can be improved to meet standards (is that included in what you mean by "cleaned up"?) and only deleted if there is certainty that can't be achieved.
- Also just to highlight an earlier point because I think my comments about consensus overshadowed something more important. It seems like the decision tree should be "Is there a presumption of notability? > Is there enough other content on page for notability? > Is there enough content elsewhere that is not on the page that can be added? > Is there other content that is likely to be added or become available very soon?" If the answer to all those questions is no, then deletion makes sense. Instead, the decision tree for many editors is more like "Is there a presumption of notability?" if the answer is no, it's my impression is that the other questions that should follow are biased towards no, if they're even asked at all. The upshot is that there's a jump towards deletion instead of the more tedious, but important task of searching for cites and improving content. Bangabandhu (talk) 20:10, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Two things. 1) Consensus can and does change. In the case of "global cities," there was a presumption that the city councilmembers could be presumed notable (and the presumption of notability is that mere confirmation that the subject serves in a particular office is sufficient sourcing for an article is sufficient). That consensus is under going change. 2) WP:BLP states that "editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page." Thus, for the creation of biographies, there is a presumption of privacy. Additionally, for information on people "who are not well known," editors should "include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources." --Enos733 (talk) 21:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- I think this shows adequate sourcing beyond the basic citations of an officeholder in Winnipeg. At the risk of violating protocol by mixing threads, you commented elsewhere that "so those councillors can still get Wikipedia articles if the necessary depth and volume of sourcing can be shown, but are not guaranteed inclusion on the basis of just one or two sources." We're well beyond one or two sources for this entry. If he were in a different, larger city - say, Calgary? - then he wouldn't need any of these sources - but because he's in Winnipeg and has a bunch of other sources, many of which are quite interesting, he's a target for deletion. That seems mistaken. Bangabandhu (talk) 03:45, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- That link doesn't represent substantive national coverage that strengthens his WP:GNG claim at all. It's not a substantive article about him published by the CBC's national news division — it's a glancing namecheck of his existence in a blurb whose primary subject is Glen Murray, and which was published by the CBC's local news bureau in Winnipeg. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I understand the point that you're making, though I think "every village of 50 people" is a bit of an exaggeration. My concern with these relatively indiscriminate nominations for deletion is that few editors are taking the time to really see if that broader coverage exists. Because its been nominated for deletion, the assumption is that additional coverage doesn't exist if it's not cited in the article, which leads to the conclusion that deletion is appropriate. In this instance, and I suspect many others, the subject has received national coverage and it is important that the entry remain. Why delete knowledge in this page and the work that went into it? Much better to err on the side of caution. Bangabandhu (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- A city councillor has to receive more than purely local coverage to qualify for a Wikipedia article, so that article doesn't assist anything. The reason we make exceptions for the top tier of international global cities is that they do routinely receive much broader national and/or international coverage than city councillors in small cities do — I'm Canadian, and I can personally name more municipal councillors in New York City than I can in even the suburbs of my own city, because city councillors in NYC get nationalized coverage where city councillors in Pickering ON or Vaughan ON generally don't. And local coverage of local politics always exists, so we would always have to permit articles about every municipal councillor in every village of 50 people if local coverage alone were enough. So to make a city councillor in Winnipeg notable enough for a Wikipedia article, you would need to show coverage in the Vancouver Sun or the Toronto Star or The New York Times, not just in the Winnipeg Free Press or the local Metro.

Delete. WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor, in a city not internationally prominent enough to hand its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass, and as a non-winning candidate for higher office. While consensus formerly accepted Winnipeg as a city that got its councillors into Wikipedia on the grounds that it was listed in the article on global city, that's more recently been deprecated because it was listed only in the "sufficiency" class of quasi-global cities and not as a true alpha, beta or gamma class world city. But what we have for sourcing here is not enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu -- this is based on just two pieces of media coverage which both just namecheck his existence in the process of being about something or somebody else, with no sources that are substantively about him. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes to demonstrate a city councillor as more notable than the norm, which is the standard that Winnipeg's city councillors now have to meet.

- Do not Delete -I understand your concern with it being too PR focused however I have to say I really tried to keep it as unbiased and neutral as possible which i am being. I created the page because during our home buying process in the pittsburgh area we researched many builders and couldn't seem to find to much info on maronda homes, that is not the reason we didn't use them. But the other builder we went with has a wikipedia page so i figured why should maronda and s&a homes.
Creating the page was one of my ways to expose more info to potential people looking for more info on the company. I also plan to create a page for S&A homes but before i do that i would like to make sure i have a full understanding of what Wikipedia is looking for. Should i locate more creditable sources? The local papers are pretty big publications and i would with out a doubt consider them creditable. Their no NYtimes but they are legit brick & mortar establishments in pittsburgh for 100+ years. I don't think i am going to find too much in terms of bignames like NYtimes because their not in NY. Let me know what more you need and i will try my best.
here is something [1] but will this be considered to PR related, I guess it's just hard when your talking about a business to stray away from that.
Could this fit the non-PR related [2][3]
Just trying to understand because I think i could take a look at any page and say "Too PR focus" or "Purely Advertising"
From Coca-Cola "Coca-Cola (often referred to simply as Coke) is an American carbonated soft drink[1] produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, United States." Purely advertising, no?
From Dell "Dell sold personal computers (PCs), servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, computer peripherals, HDTVs, cameras, printers, MP3 players, and electronics built by other manufacturers. The company was well known for its innovations in supply chain management and electronic commerce, particularly its direct-sales model and its "build-to-order" or "configure to order" approach to manufacturing—delivering individual PCs configured to customer specifications.[6][7] Dell was a pure hardware vendor for much of its existence, but with the acquisition in 2009 of Perot Systems, Dell entered the market for IT services. The company has since made additional acquisitions in storage and networking systems, with the aim of expanding their portfolio from offering computers only to delivering complete solutions for enterprise customers."
Purely advertising, no?

M/I Homes,

- Otelcon, Please don't feel this is personal, because it is not. 100's of articles are deleted every week for similar problems. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines and that is what is being discussed here. Wikipedia is not a directory for business listings. An article on a business that doesn't establish notability may appear that the only purpose of the article is to promote the business. The subjects audience is considered. Maronda Homes is a small, local builder. Per policy, sources based solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability. It seems that the only sources available for this builder fall in this category. The differences between this business and Coca-Cola, Dell, NVR and Pulte is that they are large, national, publicly traded corporations with plenty of national/international coverage. As far Heartland Homes and M/I Homes, these articles are marginal and more than likely will have their own discussion soon. In searching for sources to add to improve the article I could only find PR listings, individual property transfers, local newspaper articles or trivial mentions. If someone can find some significant coverage in independent, reliable sources outside of this business' market area or product area it may help but as it stands this article doesn't seem to meet the requirements for inclusion.

- Cbs527, I def am not taking it personal I understand the position, I am just defending my position on that I believe this is creditable article and no-bais information, I got nothing but love for all you admins / mods who have to pick through all this incoming junk. However might I add that they are a national home builder and not a small local builder. They are creditable articles in the venue of their business which depending on your perspective, keyword perspective you could deem those as significant or not significant. I respect that this is not the vehicle for business listings, which this is not my goal. The company is well beyond a mom and pop company. How could you leave M/I Homes and Heartland Homes up for so long which uses all the same references i have and their NYtimes article doesn't even mention heartland homes. M/I Homes article is a complete joke I suggest you check it out and you will see where i am coming from. I can find more examples outside of home builders. Just let me know i will supply it.
All sources do fit into the definition outline here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#News_organizations
It is your opinion on if you want to classify them as not reliable but they do meet the criteria in the policies outlined above. Would you agree or disagree?

- The problem doesn't have to do with the reliability of the sources, it has to do with all of the references are from local sources and in some instances, such as the cincinnati.com article above, the depth of coverage. For instance, the bizjournals.com is a good reference as it has some in depth coverage about Maronda Homes. On the other hand the cincinnati.com article has a simply mention of Maronda Homes as one of six builders in a new 36 home subdivision. Please read WP:ORG for more information. I tried to find some sources outside of their market area to add to the article but I haven't been able to find any. And, I'll take you up on that beer! CBS527Talk 23:47, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

What was your reasoning again for [1] not being a valid source? Also how do i suggest other articles for deletion I see a lot out there no where near this golden rule. So just so i am on the same page. I need better sources and i can propose for resubmission? can't be a local established news paper and has to be written by an author? Did I get that correct.

Delete. WP:BLP of a person who has a potentially valid claim of notability, but hasn't even started to reliably source it -- of the four "references" here, three of them are YouTube or Dailymotion videos, and the fourth is a WP:CIRCULAR citation to another Wikipedia article. And on a Google News search, I'm finding exactly zero evidence of actual reliable source coverage. I will grant that despite the lack of recent coverage on open web, his potentially notable activities were far enough in the past that he might be sourceable over WP:GNG in deep databases that I don't have access to, so I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can show evidence that higher-quality sources actually do exist somewhere -- but an improperly sourced article does not get the "keep and flag for refimprove" treatment just because it's theoretically possible that better sources might exist; it gets that treatment only if and when it can be demonstrated that the necessary volume and quality of reliable sourcing does exist.

- Comment - There are many mentions of him in articles on newspapers.com[2] (also mentions of his parents and other peripheral individuals, note he frequently is found under "edgar d osgood"), none that I can find about him are in depth. genealogybank (a site similar to newspapers.com) doesn't give anything better, but gives more references. Thus, my feeling is that many of the individual statements in the article are verifiable and together they give the subject enough depth that he may be suitable for an article. If forced to !vote, I would say weak keep as a regional social and regional back-room political figure who has experienced minor coverage over a long period, especially if @Vivzs:, the article's creator, were interested in cleaning the page up and using reliable sources.

Local politician who only has received coverage regarding local issues to Winnipeg. Fails to meet WP:NPOL and I don't think the overwhelmingly local focus of the coverage passes WP:GNG. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. While consensus formerly accepted Winnipeg as a large enough city to give its city councillors a presumption of notability per WP:GNG, that has more recently been deprecated. The process of getting the ones who already had articles before the consensus changed, but don't qualify for them anymore, is time-consuming, so at the moment we still have more of them than we should, but that is not justification in and of itself for starting new ones now. A Winnipeg city councillor can still occasionally get over WP:GNG on the basis of sourcing which demonstrates him as more than just locally notable, but two pieces of WP:ROUTINE local coverage of the election result itself is not what it takes to clear the bar.

- Keep being a member of the Winnipeg City Council is not the basis for an article's deletion. It just means that additional notability is required. In this instance, it exists and I will add one of the many cites that could be used for the article. Bangabandhu (talk) 15:48, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- "Spoke against the closing of public pools" is not, in and of itself, enough to make a city councillor more notable than the norm — every city council in existence is dealing with issues of what services it can and can't afford to maintain, and every city councillor is going to speak out on one side or the other of such issues. So that's still just WP:ROUTINE coverage that doesn't inherently make him more notable than any of the others, because it's just a normal thing to say about a normal, common local issue. Get back to us if and when he manages to foment a campaign of opposition so massive that it shuts down the entire city for weeks — that would be noteworthy. Bearcat (talk) 08:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Right, I just put that in as one example, but I think he's got a bunch more cites.

- Speedy Keep while I think a legitmate debate can be had about the other installments of the Mr Bean series (although I would incline towards keep), I think there is a very strong argument for retaining as a) It won the Rose d'Or b) It was the first in a highly successful and culturally influential series that spawned an animated spin-off and two films. I agree the article could be improved, but this is not a reason to delete it per Wikipedia:Notability. Dunarc (talk) 15:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment While it was influential in spawning a series, the films and animated spin-off were spawned from the programme after its run, not from this episode. In addition, any awards that the programme earned in each episode, can be easily mentioned on the article about Mr. Bean, rather than in separate ones for the episodes. These articles have not been updated at all, and have had notifications at the top of them about needing citations and references to back up the information in them, while also lacking proper information on some aspects - production information is non-existent or contains only a little that focused on filming locations, while containing some information that doesn't relate to the section at all; broadcast does not mean anything, when reception is not having any information, nor anything to back up the number of viewers for the original transmission. In short, I hardly believe a Speedy Keep is justified. GUtt01 (talk) 19:32, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. The nominator has not stated a valid deletion rationale. The fact that it may be missing production information and references does not mean it should be deleted as AFD is not clean up. Such information can be found here.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 01:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

- It answers one of your complaints, lack of references. I am still not sure why you nominated all of the episodes for deletion. If you had concerns that there is not enough information for standalone episode articles you could have discussed it on the List of Mr Bean episodes talk page or even redirected them there. In my view there are enough sources out there to satisfy WP:GNG as it is an extremely well known programmes and many of its sketches and episodes have received independent coverage, for example this from the Telegraph and this from the Metro. It makes more sense to discuss the sketches in the context of their original episodes. --Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:14, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that upon examination of the links, I can't see how these could be used. They discuss the sketches, and not the episodes themselves. The main issue is that these articles are not well built as they could be. The other factor is the programme only had fifteen episodes. If it had around twenty or more, I could justify keeping them, and merely putting forward on the List of Mr. Bean Episodes article the need for wikipedians to work to improve them. I can't really see any justification for separate articles on each episode; for the films, I do, because they had a major storyline to them of exceptional length, and certainly provided information that covered their production, reception to critics and audiences, and so forth.GUtt01 (talk) 20:54, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep per the notability guideline for TV-series and per long established precedent in WP:BCASTOUTCOMES: "Television series broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept as they are considered notable." I think it is fair to say that Mr. Bean has been widely broadcasted and rebroadcasted internationally for the past 25+ years, according to the video here in "190 territores around the world". We have the parent article at Mr. Bean (not nominated for deletion), we have the episode list at List of Mr. Bean episodes (not nominated for deletion), and then we have 15 individual episode articles (all are up for unbundled deletion). This structure is the accepted standard per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television and is fine per WP:SPINOFF with a {{Main}} in Mr. Bean#Episodes per WP:SS. Lack of
information on the episode's production
is not a policy based reason for deletion, it is not even an article requirement, see WP:TVPRODUCTION. A few wordson its reception when broadcast

- Keep per the notability guideline for TV-series and per long established precedent in WP:BCASTOUTCOMES: "Television series broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept as they are considered notable." I think it is fair to say that Mr. Bean has been widely broadcasted and rebroadcasted internationally for the past 25+ years, according to the video here in "190 territores around the world". We have the parent article at Mr. Bean (not nominated for deletion), we have the episode list at List of Mr. Bean episodes (not nominated for deletion), and then we have 15 individual episode articles (all are up for unbundled deletion). This structure is the accepted standard per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television and is fine per WP:SPINOFF with a {{Main}} in Mr. Bean#Episodes per WP:SS. Lack of

There is a complete lack of reliable secondary sources. Jacona (talk) 14:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - This page was just started and due to certain circumstances, it definitely shouldn't be deleted. Also, "reliable secondary sources" are irrelevant as a reason for deletion, especially when one of those sources is All Music Guide. The original article had information about a non-existent Australian record label of the same name. I (however) changed the article, under the assumption that it had false information, with the information of 'this page' only two days ago and added a reliable sources along with their website. However the edits were later reverted and split into two different pages by User:Dl2000. However I have not had the time to proceed with further edits as I nominated Eightball Records (Australia) for deletion with hopes of moving Eightball Records (US) --> Eightball Records after it was over. After research, this article does have secondary sources in the mix. Here are Billboard magazine articles mentioning Eightball Records (US), some of their musical releases, and development of the label including change of A&Rs. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] Adding those to article definitely proves notability. Horizonlove (talk) 19:46, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Since Eightball Records (Australia) has been deleted, I propose that Eightball Records (US) be moved to Eightball Records. Horizonlove (talk) 21:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - I was trying to do some quick research as to why the Australian Eightball Records was deleted. It was probably properly deleted, but wow did I come across a lot of sources for the US version. This label has been written about in both Billboard and CMJ, giving it notability via GNG, and if those magazines are writing about it the label almost certainly has cultural significance. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps you should review the complete history to get better understanding of why this page was nominated as I briefly explained above. Horizonlove (talk) 14:13, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep per the notability guideline for TV-series and per long established precedent in WP:BCASTOUTCOMES: "Television series broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept as they are considered notable." I think it is fair to say that Mr. Bean has been widely broadcasted and rebroadcasted internationally for the past 25+ years, according to the video here in "190 territores around the world". We have the parent article at Mr. Bean (not nominated for deletion), we have the episode list at List of Mr. Bean episodes (not nominated for deletion), and then we have 15 individual episode articles (all are up for unbundled deletion). This structure is the accepted standard per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television and is fine per WP:SPINOFF with a {{Main}} in Mr. Bean#Episodes per WP:SS. Lack of
information on the episode's production
is not a policy based reason for deletion, it is not even an article requirement, see WP:TVPRODUCTION. A few wordson its reception when broadcast
would certainly be nice, but is not mandatory, see WP:TVRECEPTION, and again, its absence is not a policy based reason for deletion, it's a WP:NOTBUILT argument. I agree with nom that most of these 15 articles are poorly sourced, but it is a WP:UNRS argument to be avoided, as WP:ATD-T (policy) specifically suggests tagging for such problems, and because notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. And finally there is the question: why take these article to AfD in the first place instead of considering WP:ATD-M (policy) into List of Mr. Bean episodes or a WP:ATD-R solution (policy)? If the titles did not exist and were requested at WP:AFC/R, I would not hesitate with responding to the request by creating them as categorized{{R to TV episode list entry}}

- Redirect. The term "man 2" is included in American TV shows of the police drama kind, perhaps especially or only ones set in New York City or New York State, and with export of the TV shows the term is exposed world-wide. I just edited at Manslaughter (United States law) article to cover the first degree vs. second degree distinction, which was not otherwise addressed in the article, and I inserted a wp:anchor suitable for a redirect target. "Man 2" can be redirected to Manslaughter (United States law)#Manslaughter in the second degree. --doncram 04:34, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Article on a promoter of WP:FRINGE ideas which is drawn entirely form affiliated and/or primary sources. Virtually all content is by WP:SPAs, with a strong hint of autobiography or promotion. Google shows no obvious reliable independent sources on which a more neutral article could be based. Guy (Help!) 13:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Weak Keep Then maybe some effort should be made to look for sources [10], now I have no idea if this is RS, but it is third party. We also have this [11], and this [12] all found by clicking the "news " link in this AFD. It is clear the article needs work, that is not reason to delete. It is a reason to make an effort to improve it.Slatersteven (talk) 14:32, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- I went through several pages of results, checking for non-trivial RS. There's a lot of churnalism, and some namechecks sufficient to justify a redirect to lucid dreaming, but I did not find a single neutral and independent treatment of Hearne, the subject of the article, outside of blogs. A lot of reality-based blogs rip him a new one for his nonsensical ideas, but those are not RS. Right now we have an unbalanced article because it was written by him or his PR, and the sources are all recycled press releases, and I can't see how that can be fixed. Some good solid sources would be fine, at the moment this is, at best, WP:BLP1E. Guy (Help!) 11:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

This appears to have been a vaguely proposed construction project that never even approached implementation and has been dead for many years. Even aside from the WP:CRYSTAL concerns, reliable sources are almost nonexistent; the only real source I could track down was a half-page article in the Apr 29, 1989 issue of New Scientist, which discussed it briefly in the context of a Japanese program to develop technologies for underground construction.

- Comment. If some of those sources could be turned into an article about the project itself - not necessarily the proposal, as this article seems to be - then it might work. Certainly there's some argument for notability in that context. But that's a taller order than your typical AFD cleanup. An article might be warranted - but this doesn't seem to be that article.

And it seems that there are sources about it. Notability is not temporary. I don't get the distinction asserted between an article about the "project" vs. about the "proposal".

Full of original research, since the parodies themselves rarely state directly what they are a parody of; thus, one can't verifiably say that say, "Silly" is a parody of "Sully" just because the titles are similar. The only source that could verify as such is Doug's Mad Cover Site, which is cited excessively in the article; however, it is a personally run fansite and thus not a reliable source.
The inclusion of artist and writer credits, genre, and running totals of how many artists/writers worked on what, also run afoul of being indiscriminate information of use only to fans. These are also original research, as many issues either didn't contain bylines or removed them by mistake, so the artists/writers are either known to the fanbase entirely through their style, through personal connections, or through posts on Facebook or old forums.
Finally, some of the artist/writer credits are known by the fanbase to be pseudonymous, but few have been verified reliably, thus bringing the list's accuracy into even further question. Therefore, there is no way that this list could ever be complete and accurately sourced. Also, the overwhelming consensus to delete in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mad issues shows that there is no need for such lists. Nor is there even a precedent for such a list.
Previous AFD kept entirely due to invalid rationales such as WP:ILIKEIT, WP:ITSUSEFUL, and WP:PRETTY. No valid arguments were given to keep last go-round. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:31, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

A little humility from TenPoundHammer would be welcome. Deletion of the article would only be justifiable if there were no sources, other than the Doug Gilford site, that tied the films to their parodies. But there are already a few secondary sources given in the article, as has already been pointed out, and here are two more such sources: "Mad Magazine veterans will discuss movie parodies at Omaha event", by Micah Mertes / World-Herald staff writer, Aug 10, 2016; Grady Hendrix's film comment published by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, in the March/April 2013 issue. Deletion when there are valid sources like these would be an act of self-righteous vandalism. The most that would be justifiable is posting an appropriate tab. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 21:05, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Mzilikazi1939: That does not verify all of them though. Nor does it verify the artists and writers involved -- again, many were not given byline credits in the issue, and many are known through the fandom to be pseudonymous. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:45, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- You keep asking the same question, even though it has been pointed to you that we don't need to prove that all of these parodies are verifiable in order for the article to be kept, only that the topic itself has been covered by RSs, which has already been done. Diego (talk) 12:43, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- I am not arguing that an article on the concept of parodies is a bad idea. There are sources to verify the overall concept of "film/TV parody in MAD" and give select verifiable examples. But you're still not answering this: why list all of them if we can only prove some of them without breaching WP:OR? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:59, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I notice from his first deletion attempt in 2013 that it is TenPoundHammer's style to come back at anyone who raises a valid point, as if his shouting will drown out their voice. Let me remind him that what we are discussing is an article with the title "List of film spoofs in Mad"; artist and writer credits may be of interest but are not essential. Title of the film parodied and date of issue are what are important in terms of the article's subject. More verification of these from secondary sources is at issue, and that such sources exist (and were provided) was pointed out in the 2013 discussion, the conclusion from which TenPoundHammer is refusing to abide by.
What seems most at issue is what film is being parodied, since some are now fairly obscure. MAD magazine itself has now begun to identify the most high profile and in this case use of a primary source is legitimate. Some titles are so obviously transparent, as in the case of "Dr Zhicago" (Dr Zhivago) and "The Odd Father" (The Godfather), that it is arguable that to identify one with the other is not WP:OR but a case of translation, which the guidelines allow. To sum up, since there are multiple sources identifying which film is being parodied, and since authorship and artwork are not the point at issue here, there can be no case for deletion of the article. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 11:41, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- But are there sources to identify the parodied film 100% of the time? Is there a secondary source proving that say, "Silly" is a parody of "Sully"? I sure as hell can't find one. There's no point in listing them if you can't prove all of them. Also, isn't "it sounds like the original title" blatantly WP:OR? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:31, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - The question of "Is "Silly" a parody of "Sully"?" is less than ideal for this discussion -- because there are certainly sources that prove it. Tom Richmond's describes the Sully parody illustration in his blog -- as he does for all his artwork.. And Mad Magazine often described each parody in issue descriptions in its advertisements. For recent parodies like "Silly," WP:OR is not a factor. — CactusWriter (talk) 23:48, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- @CactusWriter: @Mzilikazi1939: If you think the article has good sources, then fucking add them. They won't add themselves, you know. Funny how everyone seems to think that "see, see, sources totally exist, I found a bunch of them" is all you need to do, and the article will magically absorb those sources overnight and become an FA. WP:BURDEN and all that. If you can be bothered to dig the sources up in the first place, then FUCKING ADD THEM. Otherwise you're just being lazy. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- So... you state that you can't find a source. And when it's demonstrated that it's verifiable by providing a link to one (the definition of WP:BURDEN), then you lose your shit. I don't usually acquiesce to tantrums but I've gone ahead and added the cite per your "request." Now I've got to get back to a busy afternoon of being lazy. — CactusWriter (talk) 00:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Relisting comment: WP:LISTN: Have the parodies been covered as a group in multiple reliable sources?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 09:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- For me the clinching source is the Cahiers du Cine-MAD article published by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. This covers the whole series of parodies up to 2013, identifying many of the films parodied and typical strategies in doing so. It is moreover cited in the lead, although more might have been made of it. The demand that each and every item in the list should be referenced is not in accord with WP guidelines in WP:LISTN, the most relevant passage in which I quote here. "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been."
- In the light of the above, the recent disruptive tagging of the article under discussion by User:TenPoundHammer is revealed as vandalism, as is his refusal to accept the 2011 decision not to delete. Administrators will take note, I am sure. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- "his refusal to accept the 2011 decision not to delete" I think waiting six years to re-nominate is a fine demonstration of acceptance. Remember that acceptance does not mean you change your mind, and consensus can change. It's not like the original discussion was unanimous - the closer even commented that it was effectively "no consensus." Argento Surfer (talk) 15:14, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
My mistake, the last discussion was closed in November 2013, so three years and a quarter. That ended with the assurance that sources existed and therefore the contention that the article should be deleted because there weren't was wrong-headed. If the proposer really cared, he could have located and added them himself. He didn't, claimed there were none and was caught out by one of the commenting editors above. Moreover, since he now seems to have withdrawn from this dialogue, perhaps that is an indication that, as you say, a change of mind can occur. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Wikipedia is not a news source; their kerfuffle with the Women's March is a flash in the pan, and there aren't any usable sources on the group that precede the kerfuffle. They get mentioned in passing in a couple of sources on how the anti-abortion movement tries to rebrand itself, but I'm not sure that those sources justify even a partial merge to anti-abortion feminism as opposed to (maybe) a mention in anti-abortion movement. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:30, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

- Redirect (or delete). Not much to say, it clearly fails WP:NALBUM. No relevant chart position, no indication of relevant airings or awards and no significant coverage anywhere. The sources in the article are just listings or super short news. Looking for other sources yieled no results, there isnt much on this EP out there. Due a lack of RS the album (EP) also fails WP:GNG generally. I therefore think the article should be redirected to the band's main article. Dead Mary (talk) 16:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

- Comment – Sportsfan 1234, you have brought seven event articles here, which belong to three different badminton tournaments: 2009 India Open Grand Prix was the inaugural event of Syed Modi International Badminton Championships; 2010 India Open Grand Prix Gold was the third edition of India Open & was India's highest graded badminton event in 2010; rest of the five event articles are of Tata Open India International Challenge.
- Now, I can't pile on sources for seven different events in tandem. So, I will focus on your primary nomination, i.e. Tata Open India International Challenge 2013. The 2013 Tata open was a five-day event, which was held between 11–15 December 2013. And it got wide coverage in the national newspapers, e.g. [26]/[27], [28], [29]; [30]/[31], [32], [33], [34]/[35], etc. So, the article can be expanded from these independent reliable sources. In addition, BWF's official website has all details of this event – see here for day-by-day details & here for the draws of any particular discipline, e.g. see here for men's singles draws. After expansion, 2013 Tata open will be of same length as that of, let's say, 2016 Canada Open Grand Prix or 2016 U.S. Open Grand Prix Gold. So, we can't merge such large amount of details of every event in one article – Tata Open India International Challenge. Same is true about the other six event articles. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Despite numerous biographies from associated organizations, there is no indication that this person meets WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC. That the article reads like his PR person wrote it doesn't help. Previous AFD was no consensus. Toddst1 (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Google Scholar citation numbers and Google Books hits may suggest meeting WP:NACADEMIC #1, depending on the numbers one uses as a standard. No doubt, this guy has put a lot of effort into self-promotion, but it seems like he's been successful at it, and we're not in a position to judge whether the attention he's received is deserved. The article still has major NPOV problems, but I'm not sure we can delete on that basis. —swpbT 15:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Clearly and unambiguously meets WP:PROF. In fields where journal articles are the primary means of communication, the influence of an individual as recognized by their peers is shown by citations. He had citations counts of 265, 182, 162, 145, 135, 123, 68, ... That's 6papers with over 100 citations each. Even in the most citation-heavy biomedical sciences, that's an excellent record. I don't think we've ever held that someone with two or more papers with over 100 citations each did not meet WP:PROF, The nom sees no indication of meeting WP:PROF, but I think that is due to the tone of the article. If we want to delete for promotionalism, that would be another matter, but in this case it is easily fixable and I'm doing that right now. (I do not think we should pay attention to claims of "easily fixed" unless the person making the claims or someone else interested is actually prepared to fix them.;) DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Yes, the article is entirely unsourced, but the company is South Korea's largest logistics company (this is somethign equivalent to DHL and FedEx). This is one of the articles which is worth saving. The company is 86 years old. See some of the sources
- Bloomberg CJ Korea Express to Expand Into China to Grow Overseas Networks
- Korea Joongang Daily CJ Korex pursues joint venture in Philippines, How technology is transforming logistics (brief mention), CJ Korea Express eyes use of self-flying drones (this looks like redressed PR though)
- Korea Times CJ Korea Express buys Malaysian logistics company (source is about a routine acquisition though)
- Yonhap CJ Korea Express sets up biz tieup with Chinese delivery firm (not useful for WP:CORPIND though, as it is reprinting what the company says), CJ Korea Express buys Malaysian logistics company (routine merge news)
- The sources are not great here (and most wouldn't pass WP:CORPIND and WP:CORPDEPTH). But considering that this is the largest logistics provided, I think there are definitely sources in Korean which would be adequate to write an article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

The result was delete. Although there are a number of keep votes, they all rely on erroneous rationales. Those which rely on WP:NSEASONS are unsatisfactory since that guideline requires the team to have qualified at a minimum for the NCAA I Championship. In none of the seasons up for discussion did this team qualify. Those which rely on WP:EVENT are also unsatisfactory given that there is essentially no sourcing in any of these articles which is not clearly primary, even in the couple of articles which contain sufficient sourced prose to not be immediate WP:NOTSTATS failures. The simple fact of the matter here is that the initial arguments are robust and have not been rebutted in any way. There is no evidence that any of these seasons have received sufficient significant reliable independent coverage as a subject rather than a synthesis of match reports to satisfy wider GNG.

For me, as NSEASONS states, collegiate athletics must either win a national championship (generally for all levels) or make the post-season in a top collegiate level. I think (hope?) we can agree that collegiate DI soccer qualifies as a top collegiate level, however the VCU season articles above did not see the team participate in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship (which is also why I specifically didn't include 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2012, nor 2013 in which they did appear) and thus don't qualify under any of the inclusion criteria.

And again, both his 2012 CSA nomination for Best Short Film and his TIFF win for Best First Feature meant that the article was already adequate to satisfy basic notability the moment it was created.

Junos, Governor-Generals, Gillers) where even just being nominated is grounds for an article whether one wins the award or not. Even just one of those four distinctions would be an WP:ENT pass, let alone all four of them together. And I'll ditto that "I've never heard of the guy" is not, in and of itself, a valid reason for deleting an article — lots of people you haven't heard of are notable and lots of people you have heard of aren't.

- Comment He may be notable per WP:MUSICBIO criterion 8, "Has won or been nominated for a major music award". A reliable source says "His solo album 'Nilambori', nominated for popular Meril-Prothom Alo awards, ..."[36] Wikipedia's article 15th Meril Prothom Alo Awards expresses it a little differently. It says he was nominated for the Best Singer (Male) Award for song "Ek Jibon", but that was one of the songs on his solo album Nilambori. "Ek Jibon" is certainly what he is best known for in his solo career. The Meril Prothom Alo Awards are a big deal in film. I don't know if they would count as a major music award.
- I've added further reading to the article. Each entry includes only small nuggets of information, but WP:BASIC says that "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." Ten sources that all repeated the same sentence would not establish notability, but ten that each cover a different collaboration with different artists may. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

IncubateMerge Don't rush to create articles. It's too soon to say whether the fire will have enduring historical significance. In its favor, it received national coverage in Bangladesh and was picked up by news agencies PTI and IANS, so it reached India and places with large populations of Bangladeshi workers, such as Qatar. After the first few days there were a few related stories,[37][38][39] but until the investigation finishes (they've asked for three more months), there isn't likely to be factual analysis in secondary sources. The event could have a lasting impact (such as changes to building codes, fire safety regulations, etc.), but it's impossible to say at this time.Incubate, Merge to Gulshan Thana as a reasonable alternative to deletion, until the long term effect of the event becomes clear.--Worldbruce (talk) 06:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)- Changed recommendation from incubate to merge following Noyster's persuasive argument. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

- question Discussion of 2017 DCC market fire (LibStar—Sangdeboeuf—Noyster—Ibrahim Husain Meraj) It's great that four editors have participated, and good points have been made by all, but there hasn't been any discussion beyond staking out our positions. None of the participants so far think it should have been created or currently works as a stand alone article, so is there a disposition we can agree on that avoids it being kept as "no consensus"? An IP has, in effect, done what Noyster suggested, by adding a sentence to Gulshan Thana citing the article's three sources.[40] I'd be willing to change my recommendation to merge and redirect if that would help settle this. What do you say? Redirects are cheap, if down the road sufficient analysis is published to warrant an article, the redirect could be turned back into one, and it's in line with the subsections of policy WP:ATD. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I'll enlarge on my somewhat pithy "merge" !vote. (a) Why not keep? Per the !votes above mine and by analogy with the Exeter fire of October 2016, a major incident in anyone's book. That doesn't have its own article: it is briefly mentioned in the main Exeter article and more extensively in the one about the individual building at the heart of the blaze. In the Dhaka case, if there were a sizeable article about DCC Market the fire could be covered more extensively there, but we don't have that article yet, we only have Gulshan Thana which is a large downtown area containing the market, so that seems the best place to include the brief text under discussion. (b) Why not delete? Because we seek alternatives to deletion, especially where there is sourced content that isn't advertising, COI or otherwise problematic. "Merge" seems the best course here, per "Merging": Noyster (talk), 10:23, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Merge & redirect - I'm jumping in very late in the game to agree that this seems most suitable merged and redirected to Gulshan Thana. If at some point we obtain enough WP:RS to create a whole article at DCC Market, we can move the content over there. Hell, if the fire does wind up creating some kind of long-lasting national repercussions, we can always move the content back out to its own article. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - @Bondegezou:, @Girlgeek z:, @Uwumuremyi:, Uwumuremyi, you have also created a page, Draft:Father Thomas Nahimana. Do you mind if I clean that page up and move it to userspace (I'll try to do it tomorrow)? Once that is done, I still think the Ishema Party page should be a redirect to the page on Nahimana, as there are not yet any sources that I've seen about the party itself and not about Nahimana. But, whatever the consensus is here, I wanted to point out the draft (and possibly soon article) on Nahimana. Smmurphy(Talk) 02:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

She's been nominated for a couple of widely-shared producer Emmys on Law & Order, and one Poe Award for TV episode writing; and a short film that she wrote was nominated for an Oscar [42][43]. No award wins that I've found so far. Worth reading, although it doesn't directly contribute to notability, is this 1993 LA Times column she wrote about her efforts to separate her career from her famous brother's.

I added one or 2 sources before I concluded that there is more than enough to support notability.

- Delete - Article fails basic WP:GNG as all articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I am at a loss as to where in depth coverage exists as searches of all Google engines, Highbeam, NYT, Bing and dictionaries are providing hits for Dam flashboards or a flashboard network and none for this "Flashboard". A search of Henry Harold Hemming, a Canadian Reconnaissance Officer, did turn up that he devised a flash spotting system referred to as "Flash Buzzer System" (see World War I Battlefield Artillery Tactics.) although I can find no instances where it is referred to as "flashboard". I suspect that this is the device that the article is referring to since the first source listed in article was co-authored by Mr. Hemmings. If that is the case, I would have no objection to a redirect to Flash spotting. CBS527Talk 18:52, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Very poorly sourced advertising article about a non-notable filmmaker. Searches did not turn up the type of in-depth sources needed to show they meet WP:GNG, and nothing in the article suggests he passes WP:FILMMAKER. Onel5969 TT me 14:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
To Onel5969: Per your opinion "nothing in the article suggests he passes"? Not the major network tv shows and major film he's worked on as listed on IMDb by THEIR Producers? Not the national television commercials for major brands? Not the internationally award winning movies in which he has acted and directed? Not the massive catalogue of musical and film work that has directly affected and given entertainment resumes to hundreds of artists?

- Delete as lacking significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources, per general notability criteria. No evidence of satisfying WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:MUSICBIO notability guidelines. The subject is an independent filmmaker, musician and bit player, but has not yet received sufficient coverage to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. It's great the subject won some small film fest awards, but the only source I've found so far that is not affiliated or a PR site is this blurb in the Arizona Republic. If AtlasAlmanac can provide more significant, sourced coverage, notability may be clearer. From the intimate, in depth (unsourced) coverage and the defensive tone above (as well as allegedly creating this promotional photo), I feel AtlasAlmanac may have external connections with the subject, and would refer them to Wikipedia's Conflict of interest guidelines and policy on paid contribution disclosure. --Animalparty!

To Animalparty!: your reason: "has not yet received sufficient coverage to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia" -- Wikipedia has over 5.23 Million articles just in the English version of Wiki alone. The World Britannica and Funk Wagnalls Encyclopedias each (actual real worldwide encyclopedias as you alluded to) contain about 20,000 pages. This must mean that Wikipedia features at least 5.21 Million that are non-worthy of listing in an "Encyclopedia" and should also be deleted. No one is being paid or paying for the article although I have been close to his career for many years and have witnessed his accomplishments and personal facts from him personally. Do you think the personal bio of every big celebrity on Wiki came from a strange fan or editor? No. Reliable info originated from someone close to them. Your speculation: "as well as allegedly creating [[:File:Michael Jason Allen.jpg|this promotional photo"-- Would it satisfy you if his photo was the standard and typical "red carpet premiere" photo or a photo from the set of a movie or on stage performing at a big concert? If so, those ARE available as well. Thousands of Wiki images of people are promotional photos. What's your point with the photograph? AtlasAlmanac (talk) 15:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete A masterwork of promotional prose without a single reliable source, and a list of unreliable ones, about half of them IMDB, which is generally not considered a reliable source, and other sources, iTunes and the subject's own website, which are neither independent nor reliable for establishing notability. By definition, the subject of the article fails the Wikipedia General Notability Guideline, which states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." The article subject also does not meet criteria in: Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals or Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Entertainers. If sufficient reliable and independent sources were found to justify keeping the article, it would still require a top-to-bottom rewrite to cleanse it of an egregiously promotional tone, which violates the fundamental Wikipedia principle: neutral point of view. The author of the article admits on this Discussion page that, "I have been close to his career for many years and have witnessed his accomplishments and personal facts from him personally," which, regrettably, is evidence of violation of another basic Wikipedia policy: no original research, which is not a permissable substitute for reliable independent sources, because it can not be verified by readers.

The article is pure plot, with no real-world info.

- Being major enemies of a team in a good-but-not-super-successful comic book doesn't make them notable. At best, this could be redirected to Runaways, but anyone searching for this specific term would presumably be aware of that page already. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:10, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Plus, the Pride also had an encounter with Iron Man. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- Potentially appearing in a live action adaptation means they are potentially notable. Guessing that they will be is WP:CRYSTAL. If they do appear, then they can be discussed on Runaways (TV show). They're already mentioned throughout the Runaways page 15 times, and I don't think any merging is needed. I'm glad to hear they met Iron Man, but that doesn't grant them notability either.

- I can't view the screenrant or AV Club links (internet filter), but the Joss Whedon book you link is hardly "significant coverage". The group is mentioned, but only 1) in a fictional context with no real-world discussion and 2) in direct reference to the actual topic - The Runaways. Based on the URLs and the snippets Google shows me, the other two links are also primarily about the Runaways and aren't focused on the Pride. Any info they include would fit just fine on the Runaways page. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:40, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- The AV club article is basically the same as the Joss Whedon book, discussion of the Pride with the Runaways as the primary topic. The screenrant article has about 400 words at the end specifically about the Pride. To your points, 1) that's a good argument. I prioritize the GNG above MOS:WAF, so I think a topic can be notable without real-world discussion, but you're right that all the sources lack real-world discussion. 2) The primary topic is the runaways, but as the GNG says "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic." --Cerebellum (talk) 21:32, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Birmingham Mail is a credible unbiased local source to support political candidate status as seen on the West Midlands Mayor Election 2017 page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baconmanz (talk • contribs) 01:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. There are three references: a club that apparently intends to list every political candidate in the UK, a local newspaper article that does not even mention him, and his own web site. It seems the editors aren't even trying to establish notability. There are much better sources available, but in any case he's just another local government candidate. Candidates for local government positions are not inherently notable. Create a WP article if he wins, because a UKIP Mayor of West Midlands would be notable. Jack N.

- Keep If the above delete comment is true then why is the page for Andy Street up considering he has not won either.

- Andy Street, an article initially created in our drafts namespace via the Articles for creation process, was vetted by a reviewer and moved to main namespace in October last year. The coverage we see in the sources cited in Andy Street is what makes him notable under WP:BASIC. That Pete Durnell gets a short article in the local tabloid Birmingham Mail does not make him notable under WP:POLITICIAN. — Sam Sailor 13:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Local coverage of local elections always exists, so an as yet unelected candidate for office does not get over NPOL just because one or two pieces of WP:ROUTINE campaign coverage exist in their local media. Bearcat (talk) 19:41, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. A person does not get an article just for being an as yet unelected candidate in a future election — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he already passed a notability criterion for some reason independent of his candidacy (e.g. already having held another notable political office, or having preexisting notability in another career), then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to get an article because of his political activities per se. But this is based entirely on primary sources, with the exception of a single piece of WP:ROUTINE coverage of his candidacy in the local newspaper. Andy Street is not an equivalent situation, as he is properly sourced as being notable for more than just a mayoral candidacy alone. Note that Wikipedia is not "the media", and is not bound by a requirement to give "equal time" to all candidates in an election — our requirement on here is to look past the daily news, and filter it for what people will or won't still be looking for ten years from now. And for politicians, that means holders of notable offices, not unelected candidates for it. Bearcat (talk) 19:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: I'm going to close this out - the only thing I can find that shows any sign of notability is this interview with a local library, but it also seems that this was an interview because he was working with them on a project. I highly applaud him for doing this, since we need more people working with libraries and their community, but there just isn't enough coverage to justify inclusion of this fictional company.
