The word "which" probably doesn't need its own article, as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The article English relative clauses seems to be sufficient for covering the broader grammatical topic. IagoQnsi (talk) 23:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Since the word 'that' has a page, I thought that 'which' should too, as they are often confused and they both have complex usage.
--TOUtemp (talk) 00:03, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Although, on the other hand, if English relative clauses is sufficient, then you should probably take a look at deleting the that page as well. I agree with you that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but you can't have one and not the other, as they are often confused.--TOUtemp (talk) 01:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to English relative clauses. I think the only way for this to satisfy WP:WORDISSUBJECT is in its relation to other words such as "that" and "who". As such, there should not be article on the individual words, but one article discussing the whole concept. — Amakuru (talk) 09:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - Has appeared in notable productions, but I would argue not in significant roles, so does not meet WP:NACTOR. ProgrammingGeek is correct that it needs more sources (it cites none), but searches of the usual Google types, Highbeam, and EBSCO found nothing more than cast lists, membership in a high school performace center's hall of fame, and a middle earth fan site interview. This is not the "written about, in depth, independently in multiple magazine feature articles, by magazine article writers" called for in WP:ANYBIO. Nor is it the significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources needed to meet WP:BASIC. He may become notable as his career progresses, but is not a suitable topic for a stand alone encyclopedia article at this time. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

This article contains 17KB of unsourced content, which is largely a travel guide of sorts. While tourism in Punjab, India may be a topic which can be documented in an encyclopedic fashion, I was unable to find a salvageable diff from the page history of this particular article. I am of the mind that this should be deleted with no objection to a new article created in its place, based upon reliable, published sources. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:14, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

This article was previously deleted as a result of unambiguous consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nisabdham. The creator of the article then re-created it, and I deleted it under speedy deletion criterion G4 (recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). The creator of the article then posted to my talk page to point out that the article now had references which were not there at the time of the deletion discussion, so I restored it, but moved it to draft space to give him or her a chance to improve it. He or she has now posted it back as an article again, and it has been nominated for speedy deletion under criterion G4 again. However, there are considerably more references than there were at the time of the previous deletion discussion, and since the deletion was largely due to lack of references, that makes a significant difference to what was discussed, and I do not think it qualifies for G4. I have therefore declined the speedy deletion. However, I do not think that the new references establish notability, so I am bringing it here to be discussed again. Most of the references are simply announcements that the people who are making the film have released a "teaser", in many cases actually providing the "teaser" to view. Many of the references are sites which do not appear to be significant reliable sources. None of them is substantial coverage in a reliable independent source. Multiple copies of what to all intents and purposes is the same reference, that one being publicity material released by the company producing the film, do not establish notability. Nor do the few other references provided. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:07, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as failing WP:NFF, same rationale as the last AfD. MichaelQSchmidt thoroughly documented a search for sources in the last AfD as well. To the extent that there are "new sources", they're all evidently links to the film's teaser trailer. I see no indication that the release of that trailer makes the production any more notable than it was a month ago, let alone to the point that it would pass NFF. To the extent that the new sources are the teaser trailer or reports that the teaser trailer has been released, I would argue that they fail the "independent" and "multiple sources" prongs of GNG as well.—/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 21:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- Userfy to User:Acresant1123/Chaz Knapp, where it was located until it was moved to mainspace in bad faith. This page is a userspace draft that was moved to mainspace by Legacypac after they nominated it for deletion at MfD and the discussion was closed as keep. The explicit purpose of this move was to get the page deleted at AfD, where there are more rigorous standards than MfD. The constitutes a bureaucratic end-run around MfD and a bad-faith move-- it is inappropriate to move a page to mainspace that one believes would fail AfD, especially for the purpose of getting it deleted. This tactic of Legacypac's has been discussed and roundly condemned at the userpage policy talk page and ANI. The appropriate response is to reverse the move, not to reward the behavior. Also, since this is the second deletion discussion for this page in recent weeks, it seems appropriate to ping SmokeyJoe, who participated in the first, and Acresant1123, the creator or the page. A2soup (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- A2soup refuses to test notability at MfD, and now attacks me instead of testing notability at AfD when someone else AfDs the page. No valid reason given to userfy back to stale draft. Userspace is for developing articles, not indefinitely storing non-notable articles. The inactive creator has already been notified, and has not participated, so no need to ping them again. which brings me too:

- If you didn't think User:Acresant1123/Chaz Knapp passed GNG, why did you move the draft to mainspace? It seems inappropriate to clutter the encyclopedia by creating articles that you know don't pass GNG. The fact that I and others at MfD refuse to delete based on notability concerns (which is the consensus position) does not justify intentionally creating non-notable articles. The reasoning for userfication is that the draft was moved inappropriately for the purpose of subverting the proper deletion process, so AfD is the wrong venue - this page is properly a userspace draft and needs to be deleted or kept as a userspace draft. A2soup (talk) 23:03, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm unable to find any evdence of this "institute"'s existence, let alone notability.

This article is synthesis. A Canadian senator, Luc Letellier de St-Just in 1867 gave his party affiliation as "Nationalist Liberal." In 1920 a Canadian MP, Fleming Blanchard McCurdy gave his affiliation as "Nationalist Liberal" when he ran for parliament. We do not know why either man used this description or whether McCurdy was aware that it had been used before. There was no "National Liberal Party." Letellier was leader of the Liberal Party caucus in the Senate, while McCurdy was a cabinet minister in the National Liberal and Conservative Party government. I note that National liberal and Nationalist liberalism both redirect to National liberalism. There is also a separate article for the Spanish Nationalist Liberal Party.

- Delete. There was never a "Nationalist Liberal Party" per se — this is a label that has been used by only two politicians in Canadian history, both of whom as noted participated in established political party caucuses despite having used a distinctive label on the ballot. So there's no need for a standalone article about it — the context for its use can simply be addressed directly in their existing biographies, without needing a third article about it as a separate thing in its own right.

This is the same as WP:Articles for deletion/John Galea. PLease also see the huge archive at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Johngalea24.

Not a national chart, unclear what this chart is at all. I've repeatedly asked the sockpuppet to use AfC if they think he is now notable, but continues to try to just sneak in a creation under multiple different versions (over 20) of the name John Galea, e.g. John P.

- Comment on procedure The issue was (and is) notability, so the presence of additional cited sources compared to the version previously deleted means this is not a G4 speedy. I have now removed a G4 tag twice. Reapplying such a tag after a reviewing admin has declined the speedy (as noted on the article talk page) is generally considered a poor idea.

- DESiegel, if you look at the edit history, you'll see that IP 82.132.237.173 re-added the speedy tag, almost certainly accidently and the IP (same as creator?) was actually trying to remove the link to the AfD, leading to page protection. Boleyn (talk) 18:54, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

- Outpatient clinic (hospital department) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- Polyclinic (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
From what I know, the etymology section (= basically all) of this article seems to be absolute nonsense, and is not at all supported by the given sources.
According to the article, "policlinic" is a more correct English word that just happens not to be used, while "polyclinic" (with a "y") is not given as the more widespread (or even mainstream) spelling variant, but as a mere homophone (meaning it would be etymologically unrelated, which is bollocks). Secondly, the article goes as far as declaring the English-language polyclinic a "false friend" of foreign-language polyclinics, which is bollocks, too.
While institutional settings, legal definitions and common usage obviously vary between countries and languages, a "polyclinic" basically is another name for a multi-discipline outpatient establishment (or health care center) that may or may not be attached to a hospital. See for example the Polyclinics in England article.
With the etymology section being beyond remedy, the single remaining lead sentence doesn't give a substantially different definition of the term than Clinic does. Neither does the disambiguation page give a single meaning of "polyclinic" that fundamentally diverges from Clinic#Large outpatient clinics ("polyclinics") so its mere existence is quite confusing and more misleading than helpful. --PanchoS (talk) 19:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

- this is really a dictionary article. Not really encyclopaedic content, nor much prospect of finding any. And the etymology is rubbish. Polyclinic is the UK is used - if at all - to denote something not attached to a hospital.Rathfelder (talk) 23:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- We definitely need an article on the outpatient department of hospitals. This is an increasingly important part of hospitals and there are WP articles on this topic in many other languages. Just because this article so far only presents the definition of the term (and an explanation for non-native speakers why/that this is not called a polyclinic or policlinic in English) is no reason to delete it. If we delete it, we'll soon be back to the confusion that reigned before I moved the article to this unambiguous name. A non-native speaker will again soon start a new article called "polyclinic" or "policlinic" on either hospital outpatient departments or independent outpatient clinics and then someone else will soon start writing about the other topic in the same article.
- Do you feel that the layout change I did just now helps?
- The criticism voiced above about the explanation for non-native speakers and about the explanation of the differences between UK and US usage of the terms polyclinic/policlinic is unfair and very discouraging. It's very rare on Wikipedia that someone makes such a big effort to provide sources for information about UK/US differences and especially for information about etymology. Please show which piece of information you feel is not supported by a source instead of summarily dismissing all of this information as nonsense and rubbish, especially without a single fact or argument or source to back up such a strong claim. --Espoo (talk) 09:03, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Espoo: Please show which piece of information you feel is not supported by a source → None of this article is supported by any of the given sources. The single, etymologically specific source given clearly explains that policlinic and polyclinic are just different spellings of the same word, though attributed to the distinct-but-related Ancient Greek words πολύς (lit. "many") resp. πόλις (lit. "community of many" or "city").
While one or the other spelling may be prevalent in different English varieties due to different linguistic traditions, and while this may (or may not) coincide with different institutional forms of outpatient care, no way it can be inferred that the different spellings had distinct meanings per se to the point of being mere homophones.
There simply is no fundamental difference between outpatient establishments cohabited with an inpatient general hospital and those that are not. Regardless of whether this is the usual term for this specific type of establishment in a given country or not, both are correctly referred to as pol(i/y)clinics. --PanchoS (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment These are very different discussions - I don't think the dab should be thrown in here. Boleyn (talk) 09:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- I agree. In case we discuss that elsewhere, please transfer this comment: There's also a very clear need for the disambig page. It's simply incorrect to claim Neither does the disambiguation page give a single meaning of "polyclinic" that fundamentally diverges from Clinic#Large outpatient clinics ("polyclinics"). If you feel it's confusing and more misleading than helpful, please help to improve it. It clearly explains 4 distinct uses of the term. Use 3 is one example of use 2, but it's completely normal to have such an extra bullet point on disambig pages. Are you happier now with the changed layout? --Espoo (talk) 09:37, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Strong delete/redirect to clinic - this is really just a tendentious, dubiously sourced etymology that fails to justify why this should be a separate article to 'clinic'. The citations are in all but two cases deadlinks and all of them are etymologies rather than specialist dictionaries for the medical profession or guides to hospital working practices. The only link that really goes to anything is to Merriam-Webster, and even that doesn't cite any sources to show that people use the terms it says they use either. The content that is on here fails WP:OR. Blythwood (talk) 00:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment, with a side-order of WP:TROUT for User:Espoo - and the nominator also deserves a small portion of trout for inadequate WP:BEFORE on the article's history. Until just over a year ago, the article was called Polyclinic, primarily describing a type of medical facility most commonly found in some non-English speaking countries but not making this latter point clear. At this point, User:Espoo moved the article to its present title, added an etymology section, merged most of the remaining contents to Clinic#Large outpatient clinics, leaving the article essentially as the nominator found it. We therefore need to preserve the article history up to February 2015, whatever else happens. For User:Espoo's benefit, I will add: if you move an article from one title to another and then find yourself moving almost all the pre-existing content to another article - you should probably have created an article under the new title instead. Also, don't leave the effectively new article sitting around for over a year as just a WP:DICDEF and an etymology section not directly related to the new title - it is effectively inviting deletion. Having said that, the topic may justify a standalone article separate from Clinic - User:Espoo seems to have started trying to write it since the discussion above but it still needs more work (and reliable sources).

- Comment The sites you refer to might be full of ads perhaps, but viruses? They are some of the leading "street" sources of artist updates in the country and are only a few of the sites provided.
Additional verifiable sources of information are provided that include National Nigerian publications. For example, Vanguardngr.com is a national publication in Nigeria. Pulse.ng for example is owned by Ringier Axel Springer which is hardly a non-verifiable organization. It would be safe to say reviewers outside the country would be unable to know all credible sources of information for Nigeria so kindly review all listed sources if need be, not just a few.

- Khojaly Massacre recognition (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The given topic does not warrant its own article on a Encyclopedia (WP:N). It is neither disputed nor denied – not even by the Armenian side – that a massacre in Khojaly took place. Therefore there is no need for a "recognition"-article, since there is no denial of it. There is no need for an article on a Encyclopedia listing how each year 1 or 2 US States commemorate the non-denied death of 200+ people during a conflict. Non-notable topic. Markus2685 (talk) 13:38, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I indeed did have a bit of trouble finding disagreers, but Armenians seems to be the most likely disagreers. I were able to find this webpage: 1, which is to serve as just an example of opposition existing. Maybe the editors who edit the subject matter happen to have a bit of a lopsided viewpoint and thus don't list the opposition views, so they aren't visible here. But they do seem to exist outside of Wikipedia. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 18:45, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- You are mixing two different topics. The first topic is this "recognition"-article about depicting a recognition of an event – a massacre – which is not denied at all. Even the president of Armenia declared in an interview with Thomas De Waal that a massacre took place. The second topic – which you are mentioning – is the labeling of Khojaly massacre as "Genocide", which Azerbaidjanis try to do, although there is not a single reliable third-party source using the term "genocide" to describe the death of 200+ people. If you look carefully you will see that the headline of the link you posted reads "The Khojaly Genocide Fabrication". Markus2685 (talk) 19:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe the best option would be then to rename the article as Khojaly Massacre controversy or something like that and have both sides' points be presented. There does seem to be great disagreement about what exactly took place and why. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 19:53, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- The disagreement is already depicted in the main article Khojaly massacre by describing the positions of both parties in detail. Therefore your suggestion would basically result in just a copy of the main article "Khojaly massacre". Markus2685 (talk) 20:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Some few mentions but it seems like both sides' arguments have grown up to take quite a lot of space. The article itself should be fairly matter-of-fact from the perspective of third party sources and then summarize the two sides' views. This controversy article could then explain their stances further... --Mr. Magoo (talk) 20:36, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- I also don't think we need another article on the massacre itself. There are actually no two side's views. International organizations such as HRW and Memorial which investigated the massacre concur with the Azerbaijani side with regard to the perpetrators, and so do many Armenian sources, including the current Armenian president. The conspiracy theorists are pretty marginal, and I see no point in changing the topic of this article. I think the article in question should remain, as it was split from the main article in order to save space there and keep it focused on the topic. Grandmaster 23:56, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Why did you change the recognitions to "commemoration": 2? The sources talk about recognition. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 19:10, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Recognition" is misleading and just wrong. The sources that you mean are only Azerbaidjani partisan sources using the term "recognition" as part of their agenda trying to give the impression, that this is an event denied by Armenia. The original resolutions are using the term "commemoration": "A Resolution commemorating the 21st anniversary of the Khojaly Tragedy" Markus2685 (talk) 19:25, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- A RESOLUTION Recognizing the 21st anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre and honoring the life and memory of the victims of this horrific tragedy. Grandmaster 00:23, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Allthough the majority of the original resolutions use the heading "Resolution commemorating…" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc all sentences were written with "recognizing" by purpose, following the Azerbaidjani agenda of a misleading and manipulative wording as "recognizing Khojaly genocide" – which can be found on all partisan Azerbaidjani sources which are heavily and mainly used for this artcile Markus2685 (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- There are those that talk about recognition. Regardless of what you think about them, it is a fact. Grandmaster 21:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- What do you mean, with what I think about them. I didn't say anything about my thoughts. I just stated facts based on original wording of the majority of the original resolutions, and not what partisan Azerbaidjani sources – that are mainly used for this article – fabricated from them (changing "commemorate" to "recognize" or changing "massacre" to "genocide" – and this is the point. Markus2685 (talk) 22:03, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- I provided above a link to the resolution which talks about recognition. No one says that all of them mention recognition, some talk about recognition, others of commemoration. Anyway, this is irrelevant to this AFD. Each resolution in the text should be summarized according to its actual wording. Grandmaster 22:27, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. "Recognition" does not mean recognising that 200+ people died. It means recognising that this massacre was committed by Armenian troops; an act which Armenia has been vehemently denying since 1992. Six sovereign UN member states and 15 US states whose parliaments have voted in favour of recognising and condemning Armenia's involvement in this act of violence is more than "1 or 2 states commemorating" the death of the people. Parishan (talk) 19:58, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- I repeat: Even the president of Armenia declared in an interview with Thomas De Waal that a massacre took place by Armenians, which can be read in the main article "Khojaly massacre".

- Again. It shows the commemoration (this is the original wording of the resolution headers) and not the "recognition" (because there is no denial of it!) of these events.

- Keep. There are a lot of reliable sources about recognition and commemoration of the massacre by different states and organisation. If we describe all of that in Khojaly massacre artile it will take a lot of space there. That is why the separate article is suitable. --Interfase (talk) 20:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect -- I am not saying that the massacre was not a terrible event, but it was a single event; accordingly there should be a single article on the massacre. I appreciate that the main article is getting rather long. My country (UK) has thousands of memorials to WWI and WWII. However, WP does not have an article (or even a paragraph) on every memorial. The coverage in the massacre article of recognition and memorials is as much as we need. The rest is going beyond the encyclopaedic. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete non-encyclopedic. an attempt to copy the Armenian Genocide recognition article, which is highly relevant. nobody denies this massacre, what "recognition" is this article about ? --Երևանցի talk 20:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- I agree, and that's exactly the point. This article is trying to paint a false picture of reality, namely that the Khojaly massacre is a masscre denied by Armenia. Which is obviously nonsense. This article has a manipulative purpose, as you said correctly trying to copy the uncomparable and relevant Armenian Genocide recognition article (very likely as part of an Azerbaijani agenda). Markus2685 (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- The article is pretty much just a list of resolutions passed by various states, governments and international organizations. If there are NPOV issues, they could be sorted, but that's not a reason to delete the whole article. Merging this whole list into the main article would consume too much space there.

- So just to sum it up: You want to create an article on its own, on a Encyclopedia, for the "recognition" of a massacre which is neither disputed nor denied that it took place, filling an encyclopedic article with listings of how mainly single US states commerorated this death of 200-600 people. I highly doubt that this needs an article of its own. And still because of the manipulative wording whis was used by purpose there is the suspicion of the articles real purpose trying to mislead the readership. Markus2685 (talk) 15:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't want to create anything, the article already exists. The denialist position exists in Armenia, there are conspiracy theorists there who try to blame the massacre on Azerbaijanis themselves. But leaving all that aside, as I explained above, the main purpose of this article is to save space in the main article by splitting all commemoration and recognition resolutions into a separate article. There's nothing unusual about it, it is a normal practice here, and NPOV issues, if any, could be addressed without deleting the article. Grandmaster 19:19, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment concerning user Grandmasters last note: The point is, we are discussing the issue, whether this article or better said the content itself needs to be in a Encyclopedia at all, either as a article on its own or part of another article. So your argument, that you are repeatedly stating (namely, to save space in the other article), does not have to do anything with all the deletion arguments and doubts stated above (misleading, manipulative, notability etc.). By the way, there is a big difference between an existing denial of a massacre as such (which this article suggests but which de facto just does not exist) or the questioning of who is responsible for it (and even this was clearly stated by the Armenian president, plus there are not only these "conspiracy" voices in Armenia, but also in other countries, even in Azerbaidjan, but this is not the topic here so we should not discuss about this in this AFD). Markus2685 (talk) 13:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Your comment raises many questions. Why exactly recognition or commemoration resolution by an independent country or a US state is not notable for inclusion in a Wikipedia article? And which wording exactly you believe is "manipulative" and "misleading"? And why any such wording, if it actually exists, cannot be fixed without deleting the whole article? If you have problems with the word "recognition", as I understood from your comments above, then I see nothing wrong with this particular word, as it is actually used in some resolutions. We just need to make sure that the summaries are in line with the actual wording of each resolution. Grandmaster 22:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Neither side seems to deny the massacre, so there is no need to have a separate page for the recognition of it (and I can't find sources that speak to the recognition of it, contra what actually happened). That said, it is worth noting on the main article, so I think it being merged there is the best outcome. Ajraddatz (talk) 02:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Check out WP:DEL#REASONS and study the guide WP:NEXIST to learn that (as worrisome as it is for some and as ridiculous as it seems) articles actually do not have to BE themselves sourced, just so long as the content itself is verifiable through searches. That's what BEFORE is all about... and notifying the creator and/or tagging the article to get concerns addressed is usually the best way to begin improvements.

The author needs to better understand how to write and source his work as article definitely needs work, yes... but addressable issues are rarely reason for the deletion of arguable notable topics., specially as notability is found through sources and not their being used as citations. Schmidt, Michael Q. 22:53, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Update for Pupsbunch and Nairspecht and anyone else: What was in good faith though mistakenly sent to AFD had style issues, BUT those issues were not valid deletion rationales and were actually quite easy easy to address through regular editing. IE: what was sent to AFD and what was corrected afterwards. So here's the situation in a nutshell... the film is to release at the end of March... a mere matter of days. If it were already released, the massive amount of availble coverage (used or not) would have the topic be notable enough for an article. Since it is days from release, we may instead look to WP:NFF (paragraph 3) to see that that same level of production coverage for a completed-yet-unreleased film, has the topic merit an article.

This isn't a lone jet that crashed and killed its pilot; it is a transport aircraft carrying 22 people, all of whom died, and smaller civil crashes are considered notable.

I wrote this article about a marginally notable activist known in part for a sex scandal.

- Delete - subject is only really notable for a salacious allegation that is non-encyclopaedic, but is arguably newsworthy. However, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The fact that the article was created only after the allegations took place, and only attempted to establish notability after the event does make it look like an attack page, although given Sammy1339's nomination here and other comments I assume that all the edits were in good faith.

- Delete per above. Teriba is only notable for the one thing, the rape scandal. FWIW, Teriba has issued statements that seem to acknowledge that she took part in non-consensual sex, but this may still have some potential BLP issues. This did gain quite a bit of coverage but not so much that it'd be considered enough to comfortably warrant a keep on that basis alone. It's possible that Teriba might gain more coverage over time, as this is exactly the sort of thing that's likely to get mentioned in academic texts at some point in time, but right now all we can judge it on is the existing coverage. If we had an article on controversy at Oxford then this would probably warrant inclusion there, but we lack that sort of article at this point in time (and crafting that sort of article would need a very careful touch). This could be userfied if anyone wants to do that, but offhand I'd say that this treads a thin line of notability. That Teriba wants the article gone gives it an extra bit of oomph.

The sources for this article fall into several broad categories:

The subject's work and notability fall clearly under the guidelines for WP:ACADEMIC and meet the following criteria, of which only at least one must apply for the person to be considered academically notable:
- 1. The subject's work has been cited in multiple books[49], papers and articles[50][51].
- 3. The subject is a full international member of the highly selective and prestigious scholarly society Club of Rome[52] - limited to 100 members globally and having several highly notable members, such as Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker and Klaus Töpfer (former executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme).
- 4. The subject's work has impacted a substantial number of academic institutions including Oxford University[53] and Stanford[54], where she has lectured and published.
- 7. The subject has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity through her work as an investor, as well as in non-academic lectures and talks[55][56].
- Keep as the subject meets substantially more than the required number of criteria for academic notability, not to mention general notability. Academic institutions such as Stanford and Oxford, and their peer-reviewed publishing houses, are clearly regarded as reliable sources. In addition, several more references have been added, including more secondary sources[57], that support the arguments for notability, therefore to keep the article. Tdtess oasis 09:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Your reply is most unconvincing. Let's go through this point by point:
- You claim the subject passes criterion 1 ("The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources"), but you don't actually bring those sources in any meaningful sense. Simply throwing up a list of links, without showing how her research is cited, is meaningless.
- The Club of Rome is a think tank, not a scholarly society.
- Significant impact is not demonstrated by linking two papers the subject has published.
- Neither giving a TED talk, nor talking for a quarter of an hour to another group of people and having the same group publish this in its minutes is really evidence of "substantial impact outside academia".
- The main problem with the article is that all the links are part of a self-published, self-referential, conflict-of-interest closed circle. There's nothing truly independent referencing this individual. - Biruitorul Talk 17:55, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Your reply is most unconvincing. Let's go through this point by point:
- Your reply brings up excellent points, and I will elaborate on each of them.
- The book and paper sources, upon inspection as cited in the actual article, are cited with page number where the subject is referenced. In the case of Spinkart, Karl Peter (2013) on p. 162[58], in the case of Glaenzel, G.; Scheuerle, T. , on pages 1-31[59]. These are independent sources citing the subject for academic and neutral use, which also clears up the legitimate issue of "all" links being "conflict of interest closed-circle".
- You are correct in stating that the Club of Rome is a think tank. In this case, it is composed of scientists, economists, businessmen, international high civil servants, heads of state and former heads of state.
- Simply giving a TED-talk usually does not construe "substantial impact". In the case of TEDxMarrakesh, the subject was invited to speak by and spoke before the family of Richard Branson, namely Vanessa Branson[60] and Eve Branson, two highly significant individuals whose invitation clearly shows independent interest in the subject's work. Note: TED-speakers do not receive compensation of any kind, and it is an organisation completely independent of the subject. As are Stanford, Oxford, the International Museum of Women before they appointed her, and so was the Club of Rome until they discovered the subject's work. All the mentioned "closed-circles" are like this. They were independent, until they invited the subject on her own merits.

- Comment I'm disinclined to evaluate all of the sources above, because superficially they don't seem to cut it; but I will say that she does not meet WP:PROF in my book, because her works don't seem to have created much of an impact. Vanamonde93 (talk) 04:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 14:07, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Biruitorul's evaluation of the sources seems comprehensive. The article sets off immediate red flags for me, since large numbers of unreliable citations (sometimes simply notes by the article's author) are repeatedly thrown together and synthesized to support claims that aren't explicitly backed by any of them. For example, the article states
Bozesan's work addresses ... the economic empowerment of young entrepreneurs
, and no less than eight citations are given to support this claim. All of these citations are links to appearances or papers by the article's subject, or in one case simply the statement that Bozesan was a "Former board member of the International Museum of Women", out of which the editor has derived the original conclusion stated in the article. It looks like much of the article is WP:OR on these lines.
- As far as WP:ACADEMIC goes, Tdtess oasis cites criteria 1, 3, 4, and 7 in support of the article's notability, but none of them actually seem to apply to the article. The Club of Rome is not a scholarly society and doesn't ipso facto provide notability in any case—there wouldn't need to be a section on its article specifically titled "Notable members" if it did (#3); simply holding a lectureship at Oxford and Stanford is not evidence of "significant impact in the area of higher education" (#4); and a couple of citations, a TED talk, and some conference appearances do not constitute evidence of significant impact (#1, #7). I believe she fails on this count.
- The specific guidelines in WP:ACADEMIC aside, the article appears to fail WP:GNG. Although a Google search turns up 3,050 results for Bozesan's name, there is precious little independent coverage of her—the bulk of the results are press releases, institutional profiles, or books, articles, and interviews by her. On the first five pages of results I couldn't find a single independent source. —Nizolan (talk) 04:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks to Czar in another AfD I have learned that there is a name for the phenomenon with the references I cited, WP:BOMBARD, which seems to describe what's happening with this article pretty well ("Overloading an article with dubious and tangential citations"). —Nizolan (talk) 05:05, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete I'm totally nonplussed with "sources" currently (March 21 2016) in article. My independent news sweeps did not find much other than press releases. I watched 5 minutes of her TEDX talk and it did not seem polished and it said, above the video, "This video was filmed at an independently organized TEDx event and uploaded by the organizer". And, given the length of the current article, I think we're going to have problems here with promotional activity. That pageviews (unofficial test I know but I use it sometimes) are lackluster tends to confirm my view.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:54, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article is a biography of a non-notable individual. At first, I thought the claim of notability was that he was the mayor of Sangli-Miraj & Kupwad which would possibly meet notability per WP:POLITICIAN as the mayor of a major municipality. But after deciphering the badly written English, it seems that he is the son of the mayor (or possibly former mayor) Kanchan Kamble. It appears that notability rests on being an artist. As an artist, I can find no significant independent coverage in reliable sources that would establish notability. The awards listing in the article are not significant, and what appears to be the work which he would be best known (MagicTouch (pencil sketch)) for is also not covered, and its article is up for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MagicTouch (pencil sketch)). Whpq (talk) 13:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete — No reliable sources about this individual can verify the information that allegedly makes him notable. Being the son of a notable person does not inherently lead to notability for the person in question (at least not enough for their own article, but perhaps does for a mention in the notable person's article).--MarshalN20 Talk 00:05, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

If we can't verify the material in published reliable sources, then it doesn't get an inclusion freebie just because an anonymous IP says it's accurate. Bearcat (talk) 16:57, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. [61] One album on MCA and two on Amherst Records (Spyro Gyra, Freddy Cannon, Glenn Medeiros, Val Young, Jeff Tyzik, Grayson Hugh, Jackie DeShannon, Paul Butterfield, It's a Beautiful Day, The Tonight Show Band, Anthony Reynard Watson, Doc Severinsen, The Stylistics, Jeremy Wall) is good for WP:MUSIC#5. Buffalo News love these guys, lots of coverage there. Given their 80s beginning there's bound to be offline coverage out there. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:25, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- Any claim to passage of an NMUSIC criterion still has to be sourced to reliable source coverage (which a discography on AllMusic, in and of itself, is not.) That coverage has to extend beyond the band's own local area and so the Buffalo News cannot singlehandedly carry GNG all by itself. And a topic doesn't get included just because of an assertion that there's "bound to be offline coverage out there somewhere" — while offline coverage is valid sourcing for a Wikipedia article, it's not enough to just assert that such coverage does (or might) exist: somebody actually has to do the work to ensure that such coverage absolutely, definitively does exist before it can count for anything. Bearcat (talk) 16:55, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Any claim to passage of an NMUSIC criterion has to be verifiable. In this case the claim is sourced to an allmusic discography which is a reliable source. It is also verifiable from other sources [62] [63] [64] [65]. The albums themselves also provide verification. Coverage does not have to extend beyond the band's own local area but in this case it does. Local area coverage can singlehandedly carry GNG all by itself, the restrictions against local only coverage is not a bright line rule. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:56, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not finding anything that shows this is a current network or will be one. The network's press release says the network will be available "via the MYTV platform". As a DirecTV customer, I can confirm that DirecTV does not have a programming package called "MYTV", nor a "platform" called "MYTV". The press release, the network's website and responses on the station's Facebook page say the station is available on XETV. XETV is an affiliate of The CW in San Diego and not available nationwide.
The only thing I am finding via a Google search are websites copying the press release verbatim and stories on the network, with the press release quoted within.
All this combined, the article does not meet GNG or can not be verified, so it doesn't meet V either. Neutralhomer • Talk • 08:04, 17 March 2016 (UTC) 08:04, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete I've been doing the same searching as NH has before the nom to try to get my head around this and been confused; it feels like this 'network' probably bought time on one of DirecTV's voluminous paid programming channels during the Miami Music Week or whatever it's called and called it 'the first EDM network' ever, when the claim is untrue (bpm:tv, a defunct Canadian channel, launched in 2001). XETV is indeed available under a grandfathered superstation tier on DirecTV (emphasis on grandfathered; nobody can get the station on DirecTV unless they're a past subscriber) but Mexico's subchannel regulations would never allow this on as a subchannel of that station, which is the only way I could think this could get on through them. Basically I think we have a brokered programming arrangement with people who have a good way to spin this into a 'new network launch', when it isn't. MYTV also doesn't exist, unless they mean some deep, deep menu in DirecTV's VOD system very few venture into. This should be removed from 2016 in American television if it is indeed what NH and I have described. Nate • (chatter) 16:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Per Nate's suggestion, I have removed the network's mention from 2016 in American television. Taking Nate's idea that the network might be buying time, I checked the various paid program channels (via the guide and the DirecTV app) and found nothing. I also checked through the menu settings, the video-on-demand settings/channels and on the app, didn't find anything there either regarding the network. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Additional info Someone else was finally able to get out that it was Channel 395, XETV's DirecTV channel, along with a vague statement about it 'airing on your local CW network'. But XETV shows no paid programming where EDMtv claims, and DirecTV throwing this on without XETV's permission over those said timeslots would consist of simple breach of contract XETV would no doubt be unhappy about. And it's also highly unlikely that this small operation would ever get permission to overlay programming on any local CW station on DirecTV only. I'm beginning to think this is sadly an EDM version of the Coleco Chameleon where they made claims about big distribution that turned out to be untrue or fell apart last-minute. Nate • (chatter) 02:32, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Follow-Up Comment: I've checked a few times on channel 395 and it is consistently blacked out on the guide. Granted I'm on the east coast, so I wouldn't get XETV anyway. I've checked channel 394, which is WDCW, which I do get (also on channel 50) and I'm not seeing it there either. I think it's just a really good hoax and not something that fell apart at the last second. - Neutralhomer has Escaped • Talk • 09:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Does not appear to be notable. Most of the sources on this article fail to include the actual information they say they include. Of the sources for the DomNnate show, only the Aubrey O'Day source mentions "DomNnate" by name, and only the two Bill Cosby sources mention "Domenick Nati" by name (and only extremely briefly -- the articles were focused on Bill Cosby, and the radio show was hardly mentioned). The sources related to DMX do confirm that Nati is DMX's publicist, but that doesn't make Nati at all notable. The sources about Nati's television and film career are mostly unreliable and/or barely mention Nati. His IMDb page tells the clearest story: Nati simply worked as a production assistant or celebrity coordinator on a few shows/films, and played no notable part in any of them.
It's clear that Nati has been a publicist for a lot of notable people, but that doesn't make him notable. IagoQnsi (talk) 07:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- Comment: One of Nati's clients, Bobo Norco, also very recently had an article created, and it's also up for deletion. That article has the same style of featuring a lot of sources that don't actually indicate notability or provide verification for the facts they're placed next to. User:JellyfishFilms is a contributor to both articles (primary author for Bobo Norco, and uploaded the photo for Domenick Nati). -IagoQnsi (talk) 07:31, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
*Keep. I reviewed the Nati's sources and they all are reliable.

- Delete - There's a whole lot of references in the article, which at first glance makes it look like it's got plenty of sources that verify the information, but most of them don't even mention the article's subject at all and unless the subject has some alternate name that I'm unaware of, most of these sources don't belong in this article at all. Just as an example, the very first article says it's The Christian Post, but it's the Huffington Post with a completely different author, title, subject, nothing in that source is anything like what the Wikipedia article is saying. I thought maybe the URL itself had been changed by someone and that the original source was accurate so I dug through the edit history, but that ref was like that in the diff that the article was created with. The article fails to meet WP:GNG, as not one of the sources in the article has any significant coverage whatsoever (those few that even mention the article's subject at all). - Aoidh (talk) 02:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

And he has a partner, a lovely woman, whom he uses to entice the victims into the club, but when he kills someone she later discovers to have been her long-lost brother, she changes her mind and cooperates with this young cop, an orphan in exile from Sri Lanka, who takes dance classes and does endurance training (two marathons a week) to prepare himself for the final showdown, which he wins because the Club Dancer has gotten lazy from all his successes and developed a cocaine habit.

- Delete per WP:GNG and WP:MOVIE. WP:MOVIE requires that WP:GNG is met (it makes exceptions and gives relevant criteria for article subjects that are older films, which this subject is clearly not). WP:GNG is not met due to the complete lack of a significant amount of reliable sources that cover the film in depth and to the point where no original research is required in order to write a full article.

This one seems to fall under WP:MILL: It's a small regional online news site that has nothing unusual or notable and lacks depth and range of coverage. While it may be welcome by the people who read it something with such a small circulation and limited coverage is not normally the subject of an encyclopedia article. Delete.

- Reply to Blue Riband To be clear, it is the same newspaper under a different title, with continuous volume numbers. It is also a newspaper, not a "news site." There is substantial, verifiable information available about the publication and I wish (or wished, depending on how this turns out) to write an article about it. Incidentally, List of newspapers in Kansas includes at least a couple dozen other newspapers that would seem to fall prey to this theory of notability. 2,300 is a rather large circulation considering the population of the area being covered.

- Keep. Sources indicate this is a significant media outlet in the Wichita area, with sufficient coverage to pass GNG (if narrowly). Examples of coverage that can be used to expand this article: [73][74][75][76] --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:39, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. Local newspaper continuously published since 1894. Useful as a reference from within sources for future quoted material within Wikipedia, and articles about bona fide newspapers such as this one are normally kept. Additional sources provided above indicate passing WP:GNG as well. Beef up the article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:49, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. Unsourced and entirely unverifiable article about a character in something that's occupying some indeterminate spot along the line from "non-notable web series" to outright WP:HOAX. The deleted articles all claimed that the show is premiering in 2016 on Shomi — if and when that can be reliably sourced as really happening for realz, then there will be a legitimate basis for an article about the show (but probably still not a separate article about each individual character in it), but as of now I can find no properly sourced indication that Shomi has commissioned any such thing.

Article is about a piece of art work (a pencil sketch) with no coverage in reliable sources. The article was newly created, and the sources provided are all dead links.

- Delete If notable, this work seems to suffer from lack of sources due to it being so recent. The actual text in the article is disorganized and further discredits it as a reliable article that can be expected to serve as an encyclopedic entry. The fact that the user who created this article was banned should not really play into consideration for this article if the ban was due to an unspecified act (or acts) of vandalism; however, it certainly does not help the case for this article.--MarshalN20 Talk 23:59, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
