- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The mere fact that many, if not all of these people, are notable, does not make the list itself worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia (see WP:LIST). None of the sources added seem to discuss the concept of a "Fordham University commencement speaker" in detail; rather, they just list speakers at a number of universities. Arguably, they're just routine coverage, since the same type of articles appear every year at the same time. At most, this topic deserves a sentence or two in Fordham University, unless, say, there's been some academic who's written specifically about commencement speakers who gives specific focus to those at FU.

- Smerge per nom. Probably a section with some of the more notable speakers would be fine. FWIW, I went to my brother's graduation back in the early 1990s, and I recall neither the speaker nor the speech. Bearian (talk) 20:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - I imagine if WP was around in 1860 (along with the internet and electricity) and this went up for AfD, it would be a speedy keep with comments like "are you kidding? It's one of the main roads of the state!". As the Bushranger said, Notability is not temporary.--Oakshade (talk) 02:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. We need to use a bit of common sense when evaluating historical topics, rather than expect them to have loads of sources readily available from a Google search. We have enough reliable sources already to be able to maintain a useful short article (and please let's not have the kneejerk reaction of a cry of "WP:USEFUL" - that essay doesn't apply here), and a major road established by state legislation will undoubtably have much more coverage in archives that are not readily available online.

The result was speedy keep. Obviously a bad-faith nomination; nominator is now blocked as a sock of Rich1982 which is a sock, apparently, of Scholarscentral. SNOW applies as well, despite the "delete" from Shoess. With apologies to that last editor, I'm closing this in part, then, to prevent further disruption from the next drawer full of socks..

- Keep As shown by the references in the article, this organization has been the subject of articles in Nature and the New York Times, both in depth, reliable sources. It passes general notability guidelines, per WP:GNG. The article does not seem promotional and while short, is well cited.

- Comment - I think you missed my main point; “…Only found two legitimate news articles”. With only two sources the article does not meet WP:GNG. ShoesssS Talk 14:14, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As I replied to the sock below: "Nature, New York Times, Charleston Advisor": that makes three unassailable reliable sources. --Randykitty (talk) 14:38, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I’m not questioning the reliability of the source(s) just that there are only three and one is more a press release than an in-depth article. Hey, that’s why we have WP:AFD to handle differences of opinions like this one. Take care. ShoesssS Talk 15:07, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteAs per the article edit history frequent editors are Nomoskedasticity and Randykitty and rare editor is Theroadislong are making the group negative. Propably these editors have conflict interest with other publishers. They are picking negative lines from the sources and not following neutrality and removing the imporant positive references. Wikipedia is source for all not only for conflict interest editors, sodelete.Chicago1432 (talk) 09:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC) (user has already !voted above)[reply]- Keep and improve. This is a key article on an important topic. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:15, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The mentions in reliable sources indicate a sufficient level of notability to be included in Wikipedia. Some work is needed to maintain neutrality though (for example, placing it in Category:Predatory open access journals is based on opinion and allegation). Peacock (talk) 13:23, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That category is at CFD and will likely be deleted. Apart from that, the article is NPOV as it stands now, which is not the same as neutral: most independently sourced information about this company is negative, so our article is negative, too. However, that's what the sources say and not a POV of the people editing it. The article does need continuous attention, though, to counteract POV -pushing socks that want to turn it into an ad for the company. Apart from all this, given that this is clearly a bad-faith nom and the only "delete" !votes being mostly from socks, I call for a speedy close of this disruptive AfD. --Randykitty (talk) 13:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete---
I disagree with randy kitty because
No third party references are stated in the article as per WP:BFAQ#DELETE, so this article can be deleted.
Doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) WP:ORG guidelines (Only few secondary sources are refered)
Advertising the organisation rather than providing information about the organisation--Wikipedia:NPOV(Doesn't have notable information WP:FAILN)
This article doesn't satisfy WP:PRODUCT guidelines stating about services and this article seems to be an "Attack Page." attacking the organization ,as no discussion has been carried out at neutral point of view noticeboard.
Based on all the above reasons,this article can be deleted. Henrymark20 (talk) 13:59, 9 April 2013 (UTC) — Henrymark20 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Are you joking? Nature, New York Times, Charleston Advisor: multiple independent third party references in reliable sources. Certainly not an advertisement, nor an attack page (I don't really fathom how anybody could in one paragraph claim both of these things about one and the same article). Please, take off your socks and walk away. --Randykitty (talk) 14:10, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello Randy kitty..
Thank you for the reply on the talk page and sorry if I have frustrated you on the talk page..
I don’t understand what kind of joke did you find in the context..
I have few concerns about this article..Go through them and I expect an answer for all these concerns
1) Check, You have stated third party references as reliable.so can you please let me know why information related to OMICS Group published in pharma financial express has been deleted?
2) If you could please go through the NYT and Nature, there are both Positive and Negative statements about the Group, can you let me know why only negative is being highlighted and positive is being deleted all the time.
3) To my knowledge, the theme of the article published in NYT and nature should be picked rather than pasting the lines from the source. If lines are to be included both negative and positive lines should be included. Why did you skip this??
4) Please check these links http://www.nature.com/nnano/pricing/index.html

http://www.biomedcentral.com/about/apcfaq/howmuch
www.omicsgroup.org/journals/instructionsforauthorsJAMK.php[predatory publisher]
www.omicsonline.org/instructionsforauthorsPhysiol.php[predatory publisher]
Every publishing group charges Article Processing Charges (APC) and it differs from subject to subject and country to country. So, can you explain me why only OMICS processing charges are being highlighted??More over in the nature article regarding $2700 APC it has been stated that they were unable to contact author. How can this be justified??

Maral Haggimoni reached out to OTRS asking for this article to be deleted because she does not want any reference to her participation in the band Omnia to come up when her name is Googled.
Procedural note: Maral was made aware that by requesting the deletion, her communication with OTRS would be made public as much as was necessary to fulfill her request for this to be nominated for deletion. She is also aware that the nomination is by no means a guarantee that the file will actually be deleted. Sven Manguard Wha? 19:36, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Does the existence of an OTRS ticket rule out speedy keep for failure to supply a valid reason for deletion? This strikes me as close to frivolous. Google Search reveals plentiful reliable sources, mostly in German or Dutch. The existence of the request would appear to confirm that her entry here is factual. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I contemplated that answer, but in light of your below point, I don't think that it'd work - certainly not long term - and even if it did work it would be making something from factually accurate to factually inaccurate. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:22, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Can her reasoning be expanded upon? Is the connection to Omnia false? or something she now regrets? Seems a rather bizarre request. Theroadislong (talk) 20:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Commons has File:Maral Haggi Moni.jpg, a photo of her signing autographs with the band. Her appearances with the band are a matter of public record.[5] We now have a reference for the fact that she is a former member. Not really interested in the story of the ugly breakup, or why she now finds her association with an apparently long running and successful act embarassing or inconvenient: but someone should gently break it to her that all that she's going to get out of these efforts is the Streisand effect. Already looking them up on Spotify. Wikipedia is not censored. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- KeepIf the article was about her alone then it might seem a reasonable request, but not for a band that she once performed with. Wikipedia is not censored.Theroadislong (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Procedurally, while I can understand this person's plight to a certain extent, the band itself is hardly to blame. A search on Google.de seems to indicate the subject is relatively notable and possibly meets WP:BAND, however I am not even considering the notability since I believe the deletion rationale to be invalid, without prejudice to the nominator. And removing the requester's name from the band is not an option either, since it's a fact that she was a member of the band. It's a lose-lose situation, and again I understand the motivation, but erasing one's presence from the Internet is sometimes simply not possible. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Does this by any remote chance have anything to do with Islamic terrorism / Sharia law / Blasphemy in Islam / Apostasy in Islam and credible threats to human lives? A deletion request from an experienced veteran with such a flimsy excuse for a reason suggests that there's a real reason we're not being told. This is entirely rampant speculation on my part as well: from the material presented in this AfD, it remains meritless. If this is the actual reason for any of this, AfD isn't really the right forum, either. I still say to speedy keep this, but I'll honor any administrative office action. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 04:14, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- When someone writes into OTRS asking for something to be placed up for deletion, I would rather place it up for deletion with the full knowledge that it's probably not going to get deleted than to unilaterally say no to the person writing in. That way, it undergoes the same due process as it would if the person writing in created an account and put it up for deletion themselves. As for the rest of your comment, I do not talk to anyone that is not an OTRS member about the details of OTRS tickets, period. That's not a "yes", that's not a "no", that's a "this isn't a question you should be asking, and I won't engage you on the issue". I'm sorry, but I take the confidentiality of the role very seriously. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't disagree, and I'm not criticizing you. But if it's anything of that nature, I'm not sure that a public deletion process isn't just making things worse. If this isn't something we should be discussing, it follows that we shouldn't be discussing it: and therefore, a public deletion dicussion does more harm than good. More importantly, human lives are more important than Wikipedia rules. If it's that important, just do something, invoke the usual office action protections, and let's close this AfD. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 05:31, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for deletion doesn't strike me as valid: it's one thing to delete an article on a person, since that's likely to be very high in search results, but if someone's involved with a notable band then it's reasonable to mention them briefly and proportionately. I understand OTRS people pass on these requests without judging the merits. But I don't see how we can help, or even if we should help. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:09, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I would not lose any sleep if this article were deleted, as I think the case for notability is iffy at best. But that's not a question on the table. On point, the individual requesting deletion does not actually appear to be mentioned in the article at all, so maybe I'm missing something? If she wants the article deleted so that it does not mention her, but it doesn't actually mention her... what's the issue? UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:01, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable musician and academic (?). Page was created on 5 September 2009 by User:Mikeymd (suspected COI - see also below) and nominated for speedy deletion the same day. Speedy was declined by another editor on the grounds that Hamnett is "associated with notable acts".
In fact, none of the acts the article associates him with has a Wikipedia article,so notability of the acts is highly questionable, but regardless of their position, personal notability is not inherited in this way. There is nothing in the article to suggest that his work (for example, with The Lion King) is in any way notable; again, the shows he appeared in may be notable but this does not automatically transfer.
A Google search reveals nothing to suggest notability. There are several links to directories (e.g. of music teachers) and personal web pages of the subject and Myspace etc.. Another link is to a webpage of a friend of his. As an academic, he is not notable; in fact, the university website shows he is an instrumental tutor", so not a tenured academic in any case. The only vaguely independent sources are from a local newspaper, but that is simply a press release and a listing in Murcia Today: both of these are basically ads for the Canterbury Christ Church University big band (no Wikipedia article), which are actually about the band, not him.
Incidentally, Mikeymd's only contribution to Wikipedia apart from creating this article, was in August 2007 when he added Michael Hamnett as a notable person in Failsworth (see: [6]. This was reverted as "vanity". Emeraude (talk) 12:25, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only two references on the article simply state that this person exists and do not offer any notability. I originally requested this be deleted via WP:PROD which was disputed with a claim that he is notable simply because of his position in his company. It is hard for me to believe that this wiki offers blanket auto-exemptions for allowing a page to exist with a lack of reliable resources, especially in regards to the biography of a living person. Technical 13 (talk) 19:07, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment looking at the article it is easy to see why this nomination has been made. How can one be inherently notable simply because one is a CEO of a large corporation? Surely one must have some genuine inherent notability for one's self? Having asked those questions I have tilted against enough windmills of declared inherent notability to know how this is likely to be closed.

- Delete The comments above and from the edit summary indicate a reluctant view that the subject may attain an inherent notability by virtue of his job. However having sought and added a couple of references, I am not finding anything substantially better than passing quotations relative to his job; generally we would say that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.

- Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Business_people_and_executives. IMI plc is a company with a £2 billion turnover and a £4 billion market capitalisation, and Martin Lamb has been CEO for 12 years. With a few exceptions, all FTSE 100 CEOs have articles. Yes, he does seem to have a relatively low profile, probably because IMI is a specialist engineering company that is not widely known as far as the general public are concerned, but he is sufficiently notable.

I cannot find evidence that this person meets WP:NMUSIC. Her primary fame seems to arise from appearing in a video with Justin Beiber and maybe/maybe-not dating/kissing him. Her only release was on a non-notable label, and a free download. Now, maybe there are sources, and I just can't find them, but what I have found isn't promising. Even if we verified all of the videos she's allegedly been in, I still don't think that makes her notable, as just appearing in a commercial or a video, or even in a non-recurring role on a TV show isn't necessarily enough to meet WP:ENT.

- Keep and allow improvement through regular editing as it seems that EditorE is correct and (sorry) Star767 is incorrect. The WP:GNG is met through multiple independent sources speaking about this person in enough detail to support an article.[7][8] With respects to Ravenswing, notability is not temporary. With respects to nominator Qwyrxian (willing to withdraw if sources are offered), We look first to the GNG and if met, need not then decide what SNGs she might or might not fail. It is only when the GNG is failed that we then look to see if she might otherwise meet an SNG. If she failed both, then a deletion would be correct. But if found to meets either GNG or SNG, a keep is correct. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But please note that WP:GNG requires in-depth coverage, and I don't think we have that here. Furthermore, every report I saw is either just listing her as a back-up to some other star (not in-depth) or is a "who's dating who", which falls under the routine coverage exception. So unless someone can actually point out some specific articles that have in depth coverage, I cannot withdraw. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The GNG does not call for "in depth"... it calls for "significant coverage"... which are not the same things per Wikipedia definition. IE: " "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." So while long, in-depth articles are nice to have, what IS a requirement toward establishing notability is that sources need to provide more-than-trivial information in order to qualify as SIGCOV. We have those and and encyclopedic article can be maintained. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:40, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What I'm also thinking is that there's a lot of info on her on her website's bio that not being used in the article, so maybe there could be some more in-depth info that can be used here. (EditorE (talk) 13:23, 6 April 2013 (UTC))[reply]

- The title has subsequently been altered from Nominations & Wons in the James Bond film series to List of accolades received by the James Bond film series.

- Since the Academy Awards and the BAFTA awards are industry awards not critic awards, the section, "critical reception", is not accurately named. I recommend the section in List of James Bond films be changed to "Accolades" or something along those lines. I have no problem with deletion of this article but if someone were to try to save this, it is now under a more appropriate name and one used by other similar lists of awards by film. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:27, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "Critical reception" probably isn't the most appropriate name, but I think it's called that simply because the section has evolved from a critical reception section. However, I don't think it's the place of an AfD to rename sections in articles that are not even nominated. It would be better to start a discussion at that particular article.

After the Deletion of Southern Vectis route 1 which was supported by consensus this is a bulk deletion to debate the remaining lists. These are Non-notable bus routes, The articles are sourced to a number of of sources which are either primary or tangential to the route as a whole neither of which establish notability per the General notability guidleines which require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Any key information can be inserted into the Southern Vectis article but doesn't need its own sprawling article with an unsourced/unsourceable history.

Non-notable recording artist. Article is most likely an autobiography as the author's username is DazDillon.
There are many claims of importance in the article but none of them would satisfy WP:ARTIST or WP:BIO. Subject fails WP:GNG with no Google News search or Google News Archive search results.
Many of the claims here seem to be false. Author claims that subject has been covered by HipHopSince1987.com and XXL Magazine but both show no mention of him on their entire website (see here and here).
Given the seemingly false claims made in the article, it may qualify for G11 but I think it's better to give this subject due diligence so that the article can't be easily recreated with other false claims of importance. OlYeller21Talktome 17:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Delete under CSD A7. It is NOT enough to make an assertion of notability to overcome CSD A7. It must be a CREDIBLE assertion of notability. The article makes no credible assertion of notability, either as to WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. It is plainly eligible for deletion under A7. Safiel (talk) 04:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I can agree that there is no credible assertion of notability, but I'll go with a regular rather than speedy deletion to ensure we have something that sticks. There is absolutely no coverage whatsoever in independent reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 20:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - I feel like I need to point out that to qualify for A7 speedy deletion, an article must not make any claim of importance not notability. Those are two very different things. The article makes several claims of importance, such as having received significant coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources which could even be considered a claim of notability per WP:GNG. Look, as much as the next editor, I don't like when people come to Wikipedia and write promotional articles about themselves and include information that seems to be completely made up but some of you seem a little eager to pull the trigger. With a speedy, you stand to have the user come back and make an article here or at another location on Wikipedia while we stand to gain literally nothing when compared to an AfD. The only thing we lose with an AfD is a little bit of time and we gain a discussion that will allow for G4 deletions in the future when the author will most likely return.

- "Somaya Reece is not VH1" is a critical misunderstanding of independence; VH1 has a vested interest in the individual, and stands to gain by promoting the show and the individual's connection with VH1. An interest in a topic is vested where the source holds a financial or legal relationship with the topic; VH1 has a conflict of interest, hardly independent. The individual's profile on VH1 is due to being on a VH1 reality show, hence it is not an independent source. When you say that "Somaya Reece is not VH1," what you're describing is WP:ABOUTSELF, not independence, at least not any definition of "independent source" that has ever been used on Wikipedia. - SudoGhost 20:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It does not behoove you to comment about "desired conclusion", since you have argued to keep the article in all four AfDs, and have been the first person to comment on the past three AfDs, using rationales that have no basis in any Wikipedia policy or guideline whatsoever. This appears to be nothing more than bombardment in an attempt to make the article seem notable.

- Keep Biographical information will always have a lack of sources, as the only source that will always be copied is the first-hand accounts of the person who is the subject. Citing that the reference sources do not maintain Wikipedia's standard doesn't hold much weight. The dates, body of work, and other information is at least reference-able, and it is limited to the information available in the public domain, without intruding upon the privacy and rights of the individual. Save reference arguments for science, factual postings, and the like. This is biographic and public-work related, and as such it meets all the criteria, if facts disagree with the material, find a source that is more reliable, and reference it better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.113.132.66 (talk) 18:13, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Those are trivial mentions that do not establish the notability of the subject; brief name-dropping on an article about another subject entirely does not contribute towards notability. - SudoGhost 20:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. From Wikipedia:Notability: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." Multiple independent sources which separately do not have depth of coverage are so combined here. "Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and celebrities: Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." That would hold true here as well. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:31, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither one of which has happened on this article. A "cult" following would need reliable sources showing that there is a cult following, there are none whatsoever. You quoted WP:BIO, btw, not WP:Notability, and you omitted a relevant portion of that sentence about trivial coverage; there are not enough independent sources to show any notability. A local after-school program "feel good" news piece and a few extremely trivial mentions do not create notability. - SudoGhost 20:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Assertions of the Earth being a closed thermodynamic system (patently wrong as sunlight adds energy to the Earth environment) and waste heat being the cause of global warming (dubious because a nearly constant 89 petawatts of incoming solar radiation dwarfs anything man can produce) are controversial. More importantly, there are no sources quoted in the article to back up these assertions, nor have I seen such sources in the mainstream scientific press.

- Comment. Stubbing a fairly long article and then stating "virtually no information" as the primary reason for deletion is probably not to be recommended as a course of action - although stubbing, in this case, was admittedly almost completely unavoidable as the original article was an unwikified resume probably copy and pasted (by someone with obvious COI) from somewhere else. As to the subject's notability - I'm completely undecided. A professor at a middle-ranking English university has a good, but far from certain, chance of meeting WP:PROF on one or more criteria. Though, looking at the likely ones - British professorships are sufficiently less common than, for instance, American ones that the possibility of WP:PROF#5 should be considered, but they are sometimes awarded for administrative responsibilities one or two levels below what could justify WP:PROF#6, and this looks quite possible in this case. Otherwise, the subject has what looks like quite a long and respectable publication record, mostly in English but partly in Turkish, some of which looks probably well-cited considering his areas of research. The problem, made more difficult by the rather random order of the GScholar results, is judging whether he meets WP:PROF#1 - chances are, I think, that he doesn't quite, but I'm really not sure.

- Tennis is littered with great college players that went nowhere. Megan started playing pro tournaments in 2001, and in 11 years won a grand total of zero tournaments. That's singles and doubles combined. No matter how lowly a tournament. Winning a tiny $10,000 ITF tournament STILL does not qualify a player for notability, and she hasn't even won a $10,000 tournament. Being ranked in the top 3 in juniors or winning one of the junior Majors will qualify her... nope, she hasn't done that either and her best jr ranking was No. 59. Tennis project is pretty lenient in it's notability guidelines...many editors here feel it's too lenient.

Creator's response to notability concerns, posted on Talk:Robert W. Cabell: I don't know exactly about Cabell's success as an author of novels but some of his plays / musicals are played on stage in Europe. That's why I think that notability is given:
Cabell’s musical „Z - The Masked Musical“ was initially released as CD with Pop Icon Deborah Gibson, Ruben Gomez, Roberto Blades, Marc Kudisch, Christiane Noll and others. The stage production premiered at ACE.
In 2013 there will be two productions of „Z - The Musical of Zorro“ in Germany. The first at Clingenburg Festspiele expects more than 20.000 visitors during six weeks.

- Delete. The setlist and personnel section has no references failing WP:RS and WP:V. Add to that the fact that the setlist and personnel aren't factual until at least the tour has began (which is hasn't) so likely fails WP:CRYSTAL regardless of any sources relating to her current setlist or backing band. These sections should be deleted. The introduction (also unreferenced) tells us little that isn't already mentioned on Lana Del Rey except for the fact that are 41 shows and 2 legs (the second leg doesn't actually exist yet). As above the title of the article is erroneous. The tour is referred to as her "2013 European Tour" on her website. Her website is also the only reference used throughout the article.

Further to my nomination of "2013 ITF Tennis Open" at AfD earlier, I have now come across "LN Tennis Open", likewise, what seems to be an intricately-built hoax. Again, there is no tennis tournament called the "LN Tennis Open", there was no event this year, nor was there in 2011 or 2012. This link, a search from the ITF website's calendar, shows that there were no tennis tournaments in Kraków, Poland, since 1 January 2011, nor are there any planned for the remainder of this year. There certainly weren't or aren't any $100,000 tournaments at all in Poland. Again, the players have no record of having taken part in a professional ITF-sanctioned tournament in Poland in March, and the users Leshnavoka (talk · contribs) and Elenkova (talk · contribs) seem to be related in creating this hoax in its intricacy and its related articles, which, as in the other AfD, I am co-nominating:

Non-notable screenwriter lacking GHIts and GNEWS of substance. Awards appear to be local (with the exception of the Humanitas Award) and non consequential in nature. Support for awards is based on Zoominfo, non-independent data. Fails WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 04:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
'Keep' Dev is an Emmy, Humanitas, and PBS ACT Award, so awards are "national", not local. Programs were for Disney, PBS, ABC, etc., please review the sites, again, as they were all national. I've added the Emmy reference, but it keeps crashing, that's why I didn't add it to begin with. I'm a genealogist, so I'm VERY particular about my sources. Yes, info is based on Zoominfo, as I cannot scan in Dev's college transcript, but the Zoominfo was not entered by Dev, it was entered by other sources, indicating Dev was the director and on the Executive Board, so the information was "independent".
I have included many more links and would appreciate you removing your deletion notice. People who worked for Dev at Disney have their own page and Dev is mentioned throughout Wiki, as she is simply by Googling her name, so she is not "non consequential". If you know who "Darkwing Duck", "Land Before Time", "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" or even "Monsters High" are, then you know who Dev Ross is. She is the woman who gave the characters the thoughts that the actors could voice...in some cases, she is the voice. If you or anyone you know watched animation on Disney, ABC, PBS, or an affiliate in the 1990's, most likely, they were watching something Dev was involved with.
Like almost all Wiki pages, this one is a work in progress. As time permits, as I receive more information, as people who are aficionados come forth with more information, I expect the page to grow. I listed this as a "stub". In edits by others, this got lost. Before you saw it, other information, including some of my valuable links, were also deleted, and since they were secondary and tertiary, I'm not sure why. I have spent more time working with administrators than I have working on this article. It was meant to link all of the Dev information together that is already on Wiki so that people can find it in one place and then know who the woman is, as she changed how the children of that era think and imagine, thereby, how their lives will be. I didn't put how Dev has raised over 30 foster kids and has 2 emus as I've only "heard" about that. Maybe someday I'll actually find out!
Your kind action to remove your deletion protest would be much appreciated. Thank you! Smacorder (talk) 06:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. It's close, but I think this is a keep. This article needs some love, but even in its current state I think this is appropriate Wikipedia content. The subject is an award winning writer (Emmy, ACT, Annie, Humanitas) verifiable by third party sources. --NINTENDUDE64 02:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep article needs cleanup and a bit of a dusting off, but the subject is clearly notable enough, given the awards won. --Jayron32 03:59, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Winning the Humanitas Prize for screenwriting is a strong claim of notability. Barbara Walters said "What the Nobel Prize is to literature and the Pulitzer Prize is to journalism, the Humanitas Prize has become for American television." This is not just an honor, she also won $10,000. This person's career both as a screenwriter and as a children's book author is long and distinguished. The article needs work and the references need to be formatted better, but Ross is notable in my judgment. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I'm convinced that the subject's awards are sufficiently verifiable, especially the Humanitas Prize which is alone enough. The Winnie the Pooh show did indeed win the Emmy in 1989 [16], and Dev Ross was credited with writing in 1988, and thus getting the Emmy makes sense. Not solid proof, but it is strong enough for the article to be spared deletion while a more reliable reference (Daytime Emmy's website is indeed down) is found.

This article is awful, clearly. But the bigger problem is that its subject cannot easily be discerned. It is possible that the ostensible subject is Bairagi, which may be a backward caste according to this document (which istn't a reference for anything, given that it's a primary document). Google searches for "Bawa Bairagi" deliver nothing, nor for the other terms which are supposed synonyms (denied by the just-mentioned PDF). Note that the article was originally Bawa, which is not a redirect. In short, I cannot see evidence that this is actually a subject, though I'll gladly be proven wrong.

Quite simply, this seems to be an intricate hoax. The "2013 ITF Tennis Open" does not exist. None of the players who are supposed to have taken part in this tennis tournament have a record of having doing so in their ITF profiles. Even conducting a search for all tennis tournaments for the calendar year 2013 in Ukraine on the ITF website shows that there is one single tournament this year, a $75,000 event in Donetsk in the summer.

- Delete - even if it was created yesterday, there's no evidence he meets WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTY, either on Wiki, or in a Google search. It's also an unreferenced BLP. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 09:59, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested for no reason. The reason for proposed deletion was that there were no sources claiming that Kumar has actually played in the I-League. He has played for I-League clubs but that was when they were in the I-League 2nd Division. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 00:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep- Malayasian league is a fully-pro league.In the video mentioned there it says he has played in Malayasian league Debojyoti (talk) 13:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- True but when he was in Malaysia his club played in the Malaysian Premier League which today is still not considered a fully-professional league. Therefore his time in Malaysia is not notable. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:52, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Was signed for a Malaysian club but did he even play? GiantSnowman 19:01, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- DermaBlade (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)
Another article by a PR Agency, this one a non-notable trademarked surgical blade. Judging by the URL's in the article (now surgically removed), it was also designed to promote a private cosmetic surgery company. The Dermablade has received some attention in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology but the other sources are about the surgical procedure, not DermaBlade. Fails WP:GNG.

- Delete Not seeing the media coverage required. The existing refs don't provide detailed coverage: there are are 3 refs in the article to one short paragraph in the book Dermatological Surgery, and the Primary Care Dermatology Society newsletter doesn't have details. The article reads like a press release. If there was an article on the manufacturer, Personna, we might be able to merge there, but not sure if they're notable either. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of a group of men hanged in the American Revolution. Two of the existing references appear to be about the group, not him specifically; I can't tell about the third; and the fourth appears to be merely a collection of "offical rolls".

- Delete - The political trial and hanging are notable under WP rules, the biography of this individual does not seem to be. If the author of the piece would like to have another go at it, including biographical detail within an article on the trial and needs help with inline footnoting or has any questions about Wikipedia's rather arcane sourcing rules, please do not hesitate to drop me a line, either off-wiki at MutantPop@aol.com or by leaving a message on my talk page. —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 00:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
