Iraqi academic with no evidence of notability. Seems to be a WP:COI with SPA User:Science flag. According to that user's talk page someone tried to speedy the article when first created but I can't see where that happened. A Template:notability tag was removed by an IP within an hour of being added. Le Deluge (talk) 00:00, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Zero in GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. The promotional pattern of editing by a single-purpose account (e.g. placing the article in inappropriately broad and high-visibility categories) is also not a good sign. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete' per David Eppstein -- alas, I want more articles on Iraqi academics and am willing to consider a lower bar to notability based on the difficulty of accessing sources, but zero Worldcat sources makes me believe this article's subject would have little notability to an Iraqi researcher as well. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 03:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very heavily promotional article about a proposed civilian/reserve military variant of the C-17 Globemaster. It is quite inappropriately biased toward promoting the concept, in great detail. However key sections are based on documents which are claimed but cannot be independently verified, creating a WP:RS problem in addition. It is not clear that it is notable in terms of the GNG. In my view a small section of the C-17 article could discuss this proposal in a much more neutral (NPOV) manner. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:30, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. The article reads like a promotional essay, and I don't think that this is sufficiently notable in isolation to justify a stand-alone article. Boeing C-17 Globemaster III#Commercial interest (from which, from memory, this article was split) does the job, though it could probably be expanded a bit. Nick-D (talk) 23:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete for reasons cited above and the fact that the C-17 program is ending without implementing this concept. The idea has been considered several times and rejected each time.Dhpage (talk) 23:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment, is this a sub article of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III article? If it isn't the content should be highly summarized, merged, and redirected to the article. If it is a sub-article it should be kept, as AfD is not a replacement for improvement to resolve the WP:NOTPROMOTION concern of the article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:51, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. This smells of Boeing vanispamcrufttisement; at the very most, as a considered-but-failed project, it needs either to be summarised in one small section of the Main C-17 article, or blown up and restarted as Boeing BC-17 if it's to be a spinout. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:44, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete; it reads more like a press release than an encyclopædia article. In principle, it may be possible to write a neutral article - notability isn't very high but there's no rule saying we can't have an article on an abandoned project &c - but we'd have to start from scratch and lean more heavily on secondary sources &c. bobrayner (talk) 12:46, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I prodded this article as "almost entirely unsourced", with serious reliability and BLP issues. Another editor deprodded it, removing much of the content and adding "sources". However, these are all unreliable, and all bar one appear to be to a mirror of the original article.
The article does not establish the notability of this group, nor anything else except that it exists. The (apparently reliable) source confirming its existence contradicts most of the other information in the article. RolandR (talk) 16:37, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article also appears to suffer from a severe attack of sock-puppetry; I have identified at least a dozen IPs and SPAs which have edited only this article, often making the same or a very similar edit, and which have disappeared after a day. RolandR (talk) 17:36, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, no significant coverage of the organization found in multiple non-primary reliable sources that indicate that the group is notable per WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Subject has received two brief mentions in news sources, however that is not sufficient to indicate notability.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:06, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "Onterio" may be a variation on the city name of Ontario used by the gang, but RSs may be found by changing search term to "Ontario Varrio Sur". Just a thought. Boogerpatrol (talk) 15:16, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Looking at news sources of "Ontario Varrio Sur", one will find mostly passing mentions; the San Bernardino Sun article has five one to two short sentence paragraphs regarding the subject of this AfD, it does not appear to be significant coverage.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional. Does not meet any of the notability criteria for entertainers: "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" (no); "has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following" (no); "has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" (no).

- Neutral - Borderline. It's always difficult to tell without English-language sources. However, it is definitely in serious need of cleanup! Deb (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Author opinion - I know that it's a mess, I will clean it up when I have time. About the notability, there was a time when this woman was always on TV at prime time. Also there was some controversy regarding extortion with a sextape, that make her appear on every newspaper in the country. (you can see when that happened here). It's easily notable by english wikipedia notability standards, but the article is a very messy stub, I know. Give me some time. By the way, the spanish Wikipedia has a very different criteria for TV personalities and its full of deletionists.--Neo139 (talk) 08:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: She appears to be a self-perpetuating famous for being famous person in Argentina, and the coverage meets WP:GNG, e.g., [1][2][3][4], The votes in the spanish AfD didn't like that, but also complained that their article was in poor condition and promotional, which simply means it should be improved.--Milowent • hasspoken 05:41, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Did a little bit of work on the article, she's even more notable that I judged earlier, Argentine media is over all her.--Milowent • hasspoken 15:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep - yeah, I can understand the nomination but I find myself convinced by Milowent's arguments and the improvements that have been made to the article. Thought I can't read the WP:NOENG sources, they certainly seem to be from reliable publications and would seem to cover the subject in some detail. Stalwart111 23:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Passes GNG as the subject of multiple substantial independently-published pieces of coverage, per Milowent. Carrite (talk) 00:09, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Article needs expansion not deletion. Hmlarson (talk) 00:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very few incoming wiki links, malformed reference, notability not established. - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 22:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This was created by Grundle2600 (talk · contribs), who was banned in 2010 for making hoax edits. The "windmill" is mentioned on howstuffworks.com; that article seems to have been written in 2011, but the Wikipedia article was created in 2009, so we appear to be dealing with a case of the Seigenthaler effect. Per the nominator, I would delete, and I see a case for speedy deletion. AGK [•] 23:00, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I managed to find one substantive mention in a publication that wasn't a simple mirror of the article - Opportunities Beyond Carbon by John O'Brien (Melbourne Univ. Publishing, 2009) - though I'm not sure if that small section is based on the article or not. Either way, one single source would not be enough to substantiate notability, in my view.

- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Technology-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 00:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete - The windmill is verifiably not a hoax. I found this opinion piece in The Australian. As an opinion piece, it is not useful to establish notability, but it does verify the devices existence. Coverage in reliable sources do exist in the form of IOL, ABC (Australia), and a blog entry from The Age. However, all of this is from 2007, with no onging coverage outside of this blip in 2007. With sustained coverage, I would switch to a keep. -- Whpq (talk) 16:35, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability:being a paid employee of an elected politician does not make you notable Simonjon (talk) 22:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the only mentions in reliable sources are in passing, for example here where he is clearly not the subject of the article.

- Weak keep -- As an appointed official of the Mayor of London, I think he might just about get over the threshold of notability. However, this is probably breaking new ground as to who is notable. I would not vote this wayt for the officials of the elected mayors of smaller English cities. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete, subject of the AfD has received significant coverage in one non-primary reliable source. However, the other reliable sources only briefly mention the subject of this AfD, in total it is my humble opinion that the one source plus all the other mentions do not add to significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources. Therefore, unless more sources arise where the subject is the primary subject of the content and is given significant coverage, I have to support deletion. Perhaps it is too soon for this individual to have a wikipedia article per notability, as the subject presently fails WP:GNG WP:POLITICIAN & WP:ANYBIO.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:27, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Meets the general notability guideline with coverage at [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] (full 417-word text available via Nexis), [10]. etc. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:57, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete the AfD no longer appears on the Mayor's official appointments page [11] which was originally cited in the article to establish notability, or its subpages, so likely no longer an appointee or even an advisor to the Mayor. Agree with earlier comments that failed runs for elected office is weak grounds for notability.Simonjon (talk) 23:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete all - fail GNG and NFOOTBALL. – Michael (talk) 23:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. No indication in the articles that players fulfill GNG however, also no indication that they have not played in a fully professional league. The source determining whether it is an FPL provides a 404 error (what a shock - the FPL list fails again!), so would appear that the three users above have not bothered to check this. This therefore also calls into question their unsupported statements that the players fail GNG as one would assume they haven't checked this either.

- Weak delete. No indication in the articles that players fulfill GNG however, also no indication that they have not played in a fully professional league. The source determining whether it is an FPL provides a 404 error (what a shock - the FPL list fails again!), so would appear that the two users above have not bothered to check this. This therefore also calls into question their unsupported statements that the players fail GNG as one would assume they haven't checked this either.

- Woah woah woah, stop right there and AGF at once. You have got so much wrong/twisted in your comment I don't know where to start, but I'll give it a go - "No indication in the articles that players fulfill GNG however, also no indication that they have not played in a fully professional league" - the WP:BURDEN is on those claiming notability, and they have to verify the claim. That has not been done and I don't think it can be done. The Soccerway profile shows 0 appearances in any league, let alone a fully-professional one. "so would appear that the two users above have not bothered to check this" - based on what?! No, you completely right, after 7 years of editing I have no idea about the existence of WP:BEFORE, no idea whatsoever </sarcasm> "This therefore also calls into question their unsupported statements that the players fail GNG as one would assume they haven't checked this either" - this article began was initally tagged as an unreferenced BLPPROD, I couldn't find any sources and even the article creator's attempts to improve the article has found minimal.

- If you read through the references in this article (which were incorrectly deleted) you will see there is in fact multiple references supporting this article as a new genre of art. You will also find if you read the article correctly that this is in fact a new genre of art, so there is naturally only going to be small amounts of people who have had this term applied to them. Any person who has studied art will understand this is always the case with new genres of art. I suggest you take some time to read through the listed references carefully before commenting again.
- In reference to the article, the artist is credit with pioneering this style, and there is no reference to him describing his own work this way.

- Redirect to Roy Maloy. Art genres are not automatically notable, they must meet WP:GNG and other policies. Wikipedia is not for publicizing your newly-invented genre. This is not a widely used stylistic term, it is something invented by one person to describe his own work. And Maloy is not a well-known artist: he seems notable if you include his circus skills but I can't find any serious critical discussion of his art, just a couple of human interest stories that say a circus performer has shown paintings. Until the term is used by art critics (plural) rather than just quoting Maloy, it's not a notable term just a neologism of Maloy's. The term is mentioned in Maloy's article, which should satisfy anybody's good-faith attempt to explain Maloy's work; making it a separate article gives the false impression that this is a movement that goes beyond Maloy. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:02, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This is NOT a personal attack STOP PLAYING THAT CARD We are simply stating that this is SELF PROMOTION and Wikipeda frowns on this. Wether he is a good artist or not is irrelevant HE IS NOT NOTABLE. He is not mentioned in any art journals or arts networks, not had proper gallery representation and has only been active as an artist for a very short period of time. He is only known for his work in his own circles that are related to his own social media pages. Outside of this he is an unknown talent. May I suggest you make a sperate website for Non blended impressionism, link it to related topics on Wikipedia and his own website. Then you will begin the process to developing your style of art with more solid grounding. But at the moment your making a fool of this artist and yourself and making it very hard for anyone to take him or you seriously. PLEASE just be respectful of this medium, its important that wikipedia is kept factual and not used for advertising.

Why pick on physics? If it is because the index is broken into separate articles, we could meld them into one.

The common objection to these indexes is not related to the number of articles they take up, but to the huge maintenance overhead that they entail. If indexes like this exist and are approved by consensus, then article creators should be duty-bound to add their new article to the index, which becomes maintenance creep. Also what defines "Physics-related" as the appropriate point in the category nesting to create a flat list? Why not "Science-related"? Alternatively why not "Quantum Physics-related" and "Computational Physics-related" and..... ?

- Undecided. As they stand now, the lists don't do anything better than categories. There are also several problems just from a cursory examination. Physicists don't need to be included individually when there is already a List of physicists, and they definitely shouldn't be ordered by first name. Also, articles like zinc sulfide and zirconium alloy really belong in the Index of chemistry articles (which also lists scientists by first name). Clarityfiend (talk) 23:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as the creator of the majority of these articles (I did not create Index of physics articles). The reason these lists were originally split was due to the extreme size of the list if all of these entries were on the same article; as mentioned above, the size of the articles would have been about 400kB.

- Keep – The point of the {{orphan}} template appears to be to promote Wikipedia interconnectivity. An index like this is one way to interconnect articles by subject matter; some of which may otherwise be orphans. Hence, I think this index should be retained in some form.

Article subject is not notable under either WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC; most of the article content is not supported by sources. I propose to merge and redirect to Ralston College, as Blackwood's only claim to notability at this point is his founding of this still-not-operational start-up college, of which he is president. The college has a valid claim to notability through coverage in a blog piece by Stanley Fish on the New York Times website. Blackwood is named in that piece but he is not the topic, and we need to remember that notability is not inherited. Some information about him belongs in the Ralston College article, but a stand-alone article is not warranted. Note on related XfDs: I am separately starting Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St. George's YouthNet, for an organization with which Blackwood is associated, and I intend to go to WP:CFD with some categories related to Ralston College.

Per WP:NOTDICDEF, "To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term. This problem is inherent in this article, which is currently a WP:SYNTHESIS of quotes that, as said in the preceding passage, only use the term. Wikipedia is not Wiktionary or Wikiquote, and this article in its current state is a WP:QUOTEFARM. There are dozens of quotes which only use the term with passing mention, and say nothing about the term. 95% of the information here is more suited to an article on violence during the Partition of India and Anti-Pakistan sentiment. Those who want to propose a merge of some of the content into relevant article/s may voice their opinion on this AfD too. Mar4d (talk) 16:56, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Of course, you'll disagree now. BTW "a single-paragraph stub" is permitted within wiki-policies. It doesn't necessarily need a deletion. You have no clue of what you're saying. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 12:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- BTW "a single-paragraph stub" is permitted within wiki-policies - not just any stub, it depends whether the subject of the article is encyclopedic or notable enough to have an article, and in this case there are more issues than just that.

- From your comments in this page I think you are confusing WP:SYNTHESIS with something it is not. You have failed respond to Darkness Shines's query as to why you believe it's a "synthesis". You're a Pakistani it's no secret (you even use a {{User Pakistan}} template on your userpage) and you naturally might be more inclined to remove this page, hence, please pardon my candor, I doubt there is a conflict of interest on your part.
This phrase ignited widespread ethnic carnage in the Punjab in 1947. It is encyclopaedic and very notable. Are you kidding me, you doubt its notability? Notability is not temporary. It needs work, not a deletion. Over use of quotation is not a ground for deletion.
There is NOT a single PROBLEM with this article which can't be surmounted. United States and state terrorism also attacks one country! It has lengthy quotes too. Should we also delete it? And what about countless other articles like it? What about Death to America? I mean what is going on? Wikipedia contents don't need to be censored. Mr T(Talk?)

- Please see what Mar4d, ITopGun, Justice007, etc wrote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pakistan Zindabad when it was nominated for deletion. They voted to keep it. According to Mar4d, TopGun it needed to be kept since it is a historical "battle cry". Justice007 considered it "poor and not good faith nomination." The very first nomination was labelled as "Bad faith nomination". Now we have another battle cry nominated for the 3rd time, which is equally historical, notable and talked about in reliable sources but this time from the opposing party, all of these guys want it deleted. This is flat-out hypocrisy and a very blatant demonstration of tendentious editing. There is a whole category of slogans. See Category:Political slogans. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 05:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That is very different thing, slogan of honour and cheer for oneself or others create no any harm, but abuse to others is not only harmful, it is also shameful act if we make that a historical subject. Actually there should have the articles on the word/words of Zindabad and Murdabad with the etymology and the history of the different cultures, and descriptions of the words that were used, why, where and when around the global covering people's behaviours, mass anger and things (states) and etc. At that point one can create a best article on this topic/subject. You have mentioned me that I voted for Pakistan Zindabad but you did not mention I voted for Hindustan Zindabad too. You do not see there is Hindustan Murdabad. If we are eager to insist and persist on that point, then there should be articles on every country, because that slogan exists everywhere in different languages. Please do not split the hairs. Thanks.Justice007 (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That is very different thing - You're not serious, are you? 'Pakistan Zindabad' was a battle cry for Pakistan and its people and 'Pakistan Murdabad' was a battle cry against Pakistan and its people. That's all the difference there is. Everything else about the phrases is the same. As a matter of fact, both have same significance and do complement each other.
- Also, I didn't wish to drag India-Pakistan divide into my comment above. As it seems, you don't even realize that your keep vote for ′Hindustan Zindabad′ further proves your emotional bias (against articles which might hurt feelings of others) instead of negating it. No, there needn't be a slogan equally popular about every country (not every country got divided, not every slogan is a precursor to large-scale conflicts). "Please do not split the hairs." — I am not, I didn't nominate it for the third time. Why can't you accept that we're all against to keep sentiments from getting hurt? The slogan about Hindustan is historically somewhat notable, but nowhere near as notable as "Pakistan Zindabad" or "Pakistan Murdabad". Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 05:56, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I shall ask you again, where is the synthesis? You keep saying this but have yet to provide an actual example. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:08, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: a bunch of quotes and a few uses or mere appearance does not cover notability. Wikipedia is not a quote farm. There is no detailed RS coverage of the slogan itself. Should be at minimum redirected to Anti-Pakistan sentiments per my comment on previous AFD. That's what has been done to Death to Israel which seems to have more usage due to contention over the topic but still does not have a separate page. The point of this should not be to promote the word itself, rather to cover what is already used. That can be done in a few lines in the Anti-Pakistan sentiment article. The current article doesn't seem encyclopedic. I'll ask the closer to compare this article with encyclopedic articles to weigh my point. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:09, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This has been the third time that this article has been nominated. I don't understand why editors are in favor of keeping this article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for the knowledge and resource for the world. An article such as this (created because of pure rivalry) doesn't seem to fit the description of an encyclopedic topic. Those who are in favor of keeping this article, could you give a single reason how it is even notable and people would want to see it? Every country has some enmity with another country but that doesn't mean that we should start using a forum such as Wikipedia, which is created solely for the purpose of knowledge for people, to express their personal point of views.
Just using quotes from different books doesn't necessarily mean that a separate page should be created for it. If the term is notable, put it in the article of Partition of India or Anti-Pakistan sentiment. As the nominator has said that 95% of the information here is more suited to an article on violence during the Partition of India. If the editors in favor, don't like Pakistan, you should keep it to yourself instead of bringing your POV to an encyclopedia.

You are talking about policy. We are here to improve an encyclopedia right?? Just give me a single GA or FA that is full of quotations or is specifically based on what people said. Instead of improving articles which are actually worth improving and are normally used by readers, you are improving an article which has no logic. Even if you look at the stats, just 564 views in a month, in which majority must be from the people who are fighting for keeping and deleting the article. Talk about hurting peoples feelings, if that was not the case, there would be articles full of abuses for everything thing that other people don't like. Thousands of people and news articles are there in which famous people say bad things to other people and countries. Should we start creating articles for them too? We are not here to fight for India or Pakistan. This is an encyclopedia for peoples knowledge not a forum to fight and create rivalry. If you are so much concerned about using this term, why not go for a merger and put this term in anti Pakistan sentiment?

- Delete. Again. And I'm more or less literally repeating my vote from the first and second times round. What is "notable" here is not the slogan as such, but the various incidents of conflict in which it was used (and about which we obviously have separate articles). The existence of the slogan as such is a trivial fact of the Hindi language – just as in English you can create a "down with X" slogan about anything you hate, and a "long live Y" slogan about anything you support. The fact that people use such slogans about various issues and at various occasions doesn't render these stereotyped slogans themselves notable, separately from the notability of the political issue each of them represents. The article still consists solely of an enumeration of separate and unconnected cases where people are reported to have used this slogan. None of the lengthy literal quotations on the page is actually about the slogan; they are about the violence and merely mention the slogan in that connection. As such, the article is a paradigm case of WP:SYNTH and WP:COATRACK. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is a collection of uses of the phrase, which is precisely what Wiktionary is intended for.

As WP:NFOOTBALL says "Players, managers and referees who have represented their country in any FIFA sanctioned senior international match (including the Olympics) are notable as they have achieved the status of participating at the highest level of football" (my italics).

- Comment In my opinion the SNG does not trump the GNG, so I usually just look for coverage in sources. The best one presented here is this one. It is not a strong source to base notability on. However the song charted quite high in South Korea. The SNG could be used to presume that this song has significant coverage in South Korea. If South Korean sources, English or otherwise, can be produced then I would be happy to keep this, otherwise I think that according to the GNG it fails the notability guidelines. AIRcorn (talk) 00:30, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't find any decent sources on the internet so here is my analysis of the 15 sources in the article.
- Included in a list. No coverage.
- No mention of "Wipe Your Eyes"
- No mention of "Wipe Your Eyes"
- YouTube video, not independent of the subject
- Music retailer, no coverage.
- Inlay cover of the album, not independent of the subject
- Idolator is not a reliable source, it provides no editorial policy nor are we given a description of the author's credentials.
- This appears to be a user-submitted review from an unknown website. Not reliable.
- Gets a trivial mention as part of the album ('There are a few things here that don't fit, like the distracting background vocals on "Tickets" and the jarring nonsensical sounds in the opening and background of "Wipe Your Eyes"')
- The topic received one sentence from this source. Not significant coverage.
- Gets a trivial mention as part of the album ("‘Beautiful Goodbye’, ‘Love Somebody’ and ‘Wipe Your Eyes’ are also sure to be fan favorites")
- Verifies a chart position, no significant coverage.
- Verifies a chart position, no significant coverage.
- Verifies a chart position, no significant coverage.
- Verifies a chart position, no significant coverage.
- Overall, the article has not received the indepth coverage from reliable sources that is required for WP:GNG. WP:NSONGS also states that even if the song charts, the topic should not have a standalone article when there is not enough material to justify such. In this case, there is only one small paragraph of significance, excluding the useless background section and the paragraph that is sourced by album notes. That is not enough to justify a separate article. Till 05:54, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - the article doesn't have enough information to be nominated for GA in my opinion, BUT this doesn't need to be deleted at all. It is NOT a failure of WP:GNG and WP:NSONGS. WP:NSONGS states, "songs and singles may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts". "Wipe Your Eyes" charted at number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 18 on South Korea's Gaon Chart. WPGNG states "notability guidelines do not limit content within an article", so to claim this is short makes no sense, seeing that many other articles are as short as this one. I'm not so sure about the sources, but some research can clearly expand and better up this article. - Saulo Talk to Me 04:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With only one significant acting role (I can't find any evidence that she actually starred in an ensemble of "Pippin"), no awards or nominations, no major fan base (except for hardcore Little Manhattan fans), and no evidence of contributing or influencing the entertainment industry in any way, Charlie Ray fails both WP:NACTOR and WP:ANYBIO. The first AfD five years ago ended in Keep only because editors voted that due to the popularity of Little Manhattan.

- Keep. I vote that the article stay in place. Wikipedia's guidelines do not require that an actor be in dozens of films or other media projects in order to qualify. It simply requires that the article be about someone notable. As to rather or not everyone would consider her notable, my research shows that she has had a lead role in a major motion picture "Little Manhattan". Further, she has appeared in episodes of Law and Order:SVU and in "Company Town", which is a television movie. These where sourced from her IMDB page. She also appeared on an episode of the Tony Danza show. All of these facts, combined with the fact that her having an article is not hurting anyone else and could, possibly, provide some research ability in the future leaves me no choice but to vote for KEEP. Lance Lance. 03:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
KeepWith respects to TLR, he is mis-interpreting the essay WP:INHERITED. I urge he study the applicable guidelines WP:NTEMP and WP:ENT. Participation in and positive response of a notable project in multiple reliable sources does indeed show a meeting of WP:N with no "violation" of an essay, and has nothing to do with "popularity". Also brought up at the last AFD is that Ms. Ray and her role in Little Manhattan was discussed in varying degrees of detail in such as TV Guide and other reliable sources offered by Metacitic. If the nom is instead implying that her career has not been as full as someone like Drew Barrymore, then yes we could infer that as true... but we do not require nor demand that an actor MUST be in dozens of projects before we can find or assert notability... nor do we judge by the least of roles but instead by the best.

The other list List of high-speed trains contains trains in different networks across the world, however those trains can be grouped according to the common technology (manufacturer's implementation) they share.

- This list is not relevant. It's an advertisement page for some manufacturers, that mentions only fanciful maximum speed, that are, in fact, absurd nationalist and commercial advertisement. This page is also incomplete : per example, most high-speed trains are designed and built by multiples manufacturers. And the page mix conventional and unconventional high-speed trains.
This page is a partial doublet of List of high-speed trains --FlyAkwa (talk) 23:52, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I really don´t see how this list can be an advertisement page. It is nothing more than listing the type of technologies which are currently in use with some basic specifications regarding the top speed, coming from different manufacturers. I also do not do not see why it is an issue if there is a mixture of conventional and unconventional trains. Each manufacturer may use different sets of technologies in order to deploy its own high speed train product. As for the argument about duplication with the list List of high-speed trains take the following example. Germany´s ICE 3, Spain's AVE Class 103, China's CRH380B, Russian's Sapsan and the European Eurostar e320, use exactly the same technology which is Siemens Velaro. In other words all the above trains are more or less the same train. That's why there is the need for a new list including only the different technologies. The concept of the list List of high-speed trains is totally different from the concept of the list List of high speed train technologies.Clicklander (talk) 07:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- They are not broken down by country, they just include the country of origin. Everyone of these technologies, systems, type of high-speed trains or whatever you want to call them if you do not like the word "technology", has an origin. Is it that bad to mention it? Moreover since the research & development for most of them is done by the manufacturing companies in association with local governments and the local, mainly state owned, train service companies, I think it makes even more sense to mention the origin. I also do not see any preference to some specific country coming out from this article in order to be characterized as a "nationalist" article. There is no comparison between them and there is not any outcome by any mean. It is nothing more than listing them. Is it maybe the "cute little flag picture" that bothers you? Do you really know what the meaning of the word "nationalism" is? Clicklander (talk) 08:40, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your ranking by "Top speed for commercial use" (based on totally fanciful values, invented by salesmen), along the "country of origin", is clearly based on nationalist considerations.
- In the List of high-speed trains, the list is ordered by train name, mention the "design speed" and the more-serious "operated speed".
- Anyway, the title is false : your list is about Families (or commercial brand name) of High-Speed trains, not technology.
- Per example, there is no "Shinkansen Technology", there is as many "Shinkansen Technology" as "Shinkansen Trains" (who are very different each other).
- Did you speak about "Peugeot technology" or "Ford technology", or even "Peugeot 508 technology" ?
- --FlyAkwa (talk) 17:31, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If someone wants to see nationalist meanings inside an article he/she will see them no matter what the article is about. You can also find racist, sexist or any other kind of discrimination meanings behind this article if you really need to. Nationalism is more in your head rather than in this article!
- The reason I sorted (and not ranked) the technologies by the commercial top speed is just for convenience to the reader so that he/she can easily see how far today’s technology can go. And of course the faster does not necessarily mean the better. Any person with basic human intelligence knows that. Nevertheless I have no problem the list to be sorted in alphabetical or any other order. Anyway the table is manually sortable by the reader to any desirable way.
- As for the naming perhaps you are right. I am not sure if ¨Technology¨ is the correct term. I used this word because to my understanding there is an extensive R&D behind each one of these systems, but there might be a better term to describe it. I never said that this article cannot be improved further.Clicklander (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What you want to do is impossible. First, forget the "top speed for commercial use", that is only a commercial claims, without any serious reality. Then the "manufacturer" column is really incomplete. And the "country of origin" is also dubious : per example, the Pendolino was built by Fiat, and is now built by Alstom, then what is the origin's country of pendolino ?
- Finally, if you correct all these failures, you will finally duplicate the List of high-speed trains. --FlyAkwa (talk) 22:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The reason I started this article it was because I was looking for different types of high speed trains according to manufacturers and technologies and see what exists today around the world. As I said before, the List of high-speed trains was confusing for my research because many trains in this list are actually the same train with different naming which is based to the operator and not to the technology/manufacturer. So I thought that a list like this will be helpful for other readers like me to easily see all these different types listed together. That's the difference between the two lists and that's why they will never be duplicated. The commercial speed is what it really matters it this case because this shows what each technology can potentially offer as a service, even though some of those values apply only in theory. That's why I put a note for the values that are not yet certified for commercial use but are only published in the data sheets of the manufacturer.
- Regarding your example with Pendolino, your argument is invalid. First Pendolino is not a high speed technology for speeds over 300km/h and anyway will not be included in the list. Secondly there is a different naming for the two types you mentioned. Pendolino is Italian and New Pendolino is French.Clicklander (talk) 07:13, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Your reasoning is wrong, and I'm afraid your page will be deleted.
- To know the high-speed trains families, you only need to sort the List of high-speed trains by families, the column is here for that.
- Then, your "over 300 km/h" selection is totally subjective, because official "high-speed trains" definition include all trains above 200 km/h with specific qualities of service.
- I repeat that your "top speed for commercial use" is a commercial claim, not a real ability (until there is proofs that they can sustain 380 km/h in commercial service), and this information is not relevant, except for a nationalist consideration along the "country of origin" to create a false ranking.
- And you are not good faith, otherwise you will add (and sort by) the operated speed, that is real fact.
- All your page is false :
- * Title is false
- * Manufacturer column is false
- * Maximum speed is false
- * Country of origin is not relevant
- * year of introduction is not relevant
- * Ranking is not relevant
- * Selection of "300km/h or higher" is not relevant
- --FlyAkwa (talk) 11:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are keep talking about nationalist issues and rankings. I explain you very well the practical and encyclopedic use for this list but you are refusing to see it maybe because your mind is stacked into your imaginational nationalism. I show you trains and you see flags. Sorry but that's your problem!
The threshold of 300km/h is used for simplicity. There is no need for a long list including every old or obsolete technology when we are talking about the today's fastest high-speed trains. The concept of high speed train is after all something relative and changes over the time. A few years ago 200km/h was considered as high speed, today as high speed train everybody understands speeds around 300km/h or more and there is a trend towards to even higher speeds for the near future. The whole high speed train industry is booming right now, more and more new technologies appear and dynamical lists like this make now more sense than ever.Clicklander (talk) 12:56, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with FlyAkwa and with some other guys is that you are looking at lists like this from a wrong perspective. The purpose of Wikipedia and any other encyclopedia is to provide general information to the reader. It is not to analyze and come to conclusions. Therefore lists inside encyclopedias do not aim to make comparisons but just to give an overview to the reader. In this specific case the reader just wants to see all the available technologies listed together and have a general overview of what each one is about. If somebody wants to find out which is the best train technology or which one is the most appropriate for his/hers needs, encyclopedias are not the right way to go. It is needed a deeper research to get more technical or statistical information from various more specialized sources.
In this sense, the reader don't expect to see the actual top operated speed in such a kind of list. The official top commercial speed provided by the manufacturer, the speed that the train is designed for, is enough to give an idea to the reader about the technology, no matter if this value applies in reality and no matter how reliable is the specific technology to sustain its advertised top speed in long term services. Those are not encyclopedic issues.Clicklander (talk) 08:18, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The COI means that this article is POV pushing and non-neutral with what looks to me like undue weight ascribed to the author's approach.

Born–Oppenheimer approximation uses time-independent electronic bases and this article extends to time dependendent electronic bases, but they rest on the same foundation and both cover the time-independent case in depth. The time dependent basis deserves a modest section in the Born–Oppenheimer approximation article, but the topic of this article is wholly redundant with Born–Oppenheimer approximation.
- Third, it is off topic, but I'll note that the editor has inserted his stuff after the references in the Diabatic article. This article needs cleanup, too.
- Because of the redundancy with Born–Oppenheimer approximation, the conflict of interest WP:COI, the non-neutral point of view WP:NPOV, the undue weight WP:UNDUE and the blatant advertising WP:ADVERT through WP:REFSPAM, this article should be deleted per WP:TNT. --Mark viking (talk) 21:45, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. First off, it's silly to nominate deletion of the "2080's" but not the surrounding decades. Arguing that the years may not happen is really pointless -- because if they don't happen, we won't be here anyway, and there won't be anyone to point out that Wikipedia had an article about a time period that never actually happened. The article isn't baseless and provides information about lunar events, milestones, etc scheduled to happen. Presumably, as we get closer to 2080, more events will be added. The article could use more references for some of the information. Improving the article to look less like WP:CRYSTAL and be more informative would be a better solution than deleting it. Any admin that feels this closure is inappropriate is more than welcome to reverse it and speak to me on my talk page. (non-admin closure) Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 23:20, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be excited about date-specific events in the 2080s being given stand-alone articles, but I think an article encompassing the entire decade-to-be is probably okay... for about the next 50 years or so.

Out of the 5 references used for this page, reference 1 is from the website of the person the article is about, reference 2 is from a speaking company that represents the person the article is about, reference 3 is from a very small online publication and reference 4 and 5 are the same link to a harpercollins page for a book that has yet to be released.

I declined an A7 nomination because the article contains citations to four articles from an apparent reliable source, Tulsa World, though the text did not give me great hope this could meet notability on the merits. I was able to locate one of the four Tulsa World articles in that newspaper's online archive, and have linked it in the article. As you can see, though it's cited eight times in the article for all manner of specific detailed content, it miserably fails verification, containing seven words about him. This makes me trust the use of the other cited sources not at all. Meanwhile, I have performed Google Book and News Archive searches and found nothing at all.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:26, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

dictionary definition for phrase coined in 2012. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:03, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This appears to be a fairly widely-used phrase that means a physician that is disruptive or obnoxious in any way. I see some references before 2012, so it was not coined in 2012. Google indicates that it is fairly widely used in the medical industry to mean a physician that is a jerk and not a team player. So, it is a legti term. But does it belong in Wiktionary instead? Here is a source from 1997 that uses the term, and it is used steadily from then to the present; so not a neologism. I'm seeing over 1,000 hits in Google Books alone, and it looks like it deserves more than a mere dictionary entry: there is a large amount of literature on how to deal with disruptive physicians (treatment, management options, etc). --Noleander (talk) 04:59, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A mere dictionary definition. Otherwise we will need "Disruptive engineer," "Disruptive accountant," "Disruptive lawyer," "Disruptive wine steward," etc.Also occurrences in books may be merely the use of the term "disruptive physician behavior" rather than the deliberate employment of the coined term "disruptive physician."

This may sound crazy, but yes I am nominating my own article for deletion. I am acting in good faith because the article is non-notable and instead of requesting speedy deletion, I would like fellow editors to discuss it. Thank you. JHUbal27•Talk•E-mail 03:42, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, since this is basically a "G7" You showed excellent good faith in requesting this deletion, altho some may differ with my opinion because it takes up editors time to comment (not my feeling, mind you) and an administrators time to close it. In short, almost any article without secondary references is going to be non-notable. I am not completely familiar with the rules for colleges, but for high schools, as long as you have a reference proving its existence (even the school district's or the school's website), it is notable.

Zac Poonen was deleted in 2006 after the first nomination, due to lack of notability. It was deleted again in 2010 for the same reason. The current version still has no reliable independent sources to verfiy/substantiate Poonen's notability as per Wikipedia policy. Google searches will reveal many self-published hits (books, blogs, own media), but there are very few, if any, secondary sources where independent sources are talking about him.

I just wanted to write an article on an Evangelist Zac Poonen. He is quite famous for his Ministry and through his churches world wide. I dont understand why is it getting nominated for deletion with an invalid reason "lacking notability". He has written more than 25 books for which he doesnt ask for any royalty. I understand that Wikipedia's notable guidelines are different and stringent inorder to avaoid unnecessary content on the web. But I believe Zac Poonen definitely deserve a page on Wikipedia. I came to this conclusion based on the other articles I see on famous persons on Wikipedia. I urge whom so ever concern that Zac Poonen is also as famous as other Evangalists listed on Wikipedia.
Please help me how to get the Page about Zac Poonen get published on Wikipedia permanently without any debates or hurdles. I respect the intention of the reviewers and the deletion policy. At the same time, I need the page to be published avoiding nominations for deletion by the editors. I understand editord do not have the time to review the article again and again. I am sorry for troubling them. But please help me. Thanks, Abhinesh

Delete As Wikipeterproject says, there is no coverage for her specifically. All the material I could find (and indeed all the material in the article at this point) are reviews of operas where she has participated. She is mentioned in step with the other performers. I cannot find significant recordings by her or any other material that could get her past WP:MUSICBIO, and she does not seem to meet WP:GNG either. It is a shame that we don't have a guideline specific to opera that could help us keep this. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)- Keep Thank you Vocedinotore! §FreeRangeFrogcroak 16:32, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Keep. Not sure it is enough yet, but there is coverage by reliable sources (and hers is a career that is obviously building). She certainly sings a lot of title roles in important works, and in major venues. I know that arguing against the wiki-rules means that (as always) I lose, but it would be a pity if WP wouldn't be able to provide information about this singer (if the page is deleted). Anyhow, over to the powers that be. GFHandel ♬ 04:30, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lengthy article on her in Volkskrant, another here in Die Presse . Articles here and here (and probably more) on Radio 4 (Netherlands) . Radio program devoted to her on Ö1 (ORF) . This last one alone gives her a pass on Criteria 12 of WP:MUSICBIO (has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.) In my view opera singers at that level also consistently pass the spirit of Criteria 4 (is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles). MUSICBIO is entirely written with pop musicians in mind, but if you translate this to opera singers, leading roles with notable opera companies is the same thing, and frankly, a lot harder to do. In her case, it's Norma and Vitellia with Opera North, Salome with the Vienna Volksoper, and several more, e.g. Staatsoper Stuttgart, Leipzig Opera, etc. Voceditenore (talk) 08:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just wanted to add that she is also the featured soloist on several recordings with the Brilliant Classics record label and at least 1 on Challenge Records. Both are Dutch labels, but both are notable and established classical music labels. Thus, she also passes Criteria 5 (has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels). I wouldn't say that she is just at the start of her career. People here are simply basing this on her appearances in the UK. She's 44 years old and has had a significant career in the Netherlands and Germany for quite a long time. Voceditenore (talk) 08:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Voceditenore. I issued an early PROD on this, then found sources and declined my own PROD. It think it is very early in her career, but not quite too early. She has sufficient verifiable notability for the rules. Intellectually she is notable. Emotionally it feels too soon. Intellect trumps emotions. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 08:14, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- comment Voceditenore added the indented material after I entered my ¡vote. I agree with the further assessment. I believe that the UK elements of her career are sufficient to assert her notability. The Netherlands aspects do it completely. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 08:47, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that the sheer length and depth of this actor's career since 1996 is a strong indicator that he has Portuguese-language coverage unavailable in the United States or in English. Further, I think it safe to AGF that such coverage exists, and in addressing an unfortunate systemic bias, I will await the attention and input from Wikipedians able to read that language.

This list is a derivate of List of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes. Well, it looks useful, but this list belongs somewhere outside Wikipedia. I did try to discuss its creators to come into his senses, but they went to no avail. I know that merging it is an alternative, but why should we archive history log? Even though I'm nominating List of Frasier writers for merging, this nomination is a test to find out whether all pages titled "List of... writers/directors/etc." should go. It was discussed in WP:VPP, and it was discussed in the page creator's talk page. One of my mentors approves this nomination. George Ho (talk) 01:19, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was DELETE. There has been less participation in this AfD, but essentially the same arguments apply as advanced in [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of Colombia, Seoul]]. It would therefore not be constructive to relist this debate. Creation of Colombia-Kenya relations is a matter of eidtorial decision outside of AfD but I will happily userfy the deleted article for anyone wishing to use it as material for such an article.

The result was DELETE. The argument that embassies are inherently notable has no basis in policy. That argument would carry some weight with me if there was overwhelming consensus for it - after all, policy is merely the expression of consensus here. However there is no basis for it in either policy or consensus. The request to create Colombia-South Korea relations is not a matter for AfD, but I will userfy the deleted article on request for anyone wishing to use it as material for such an article.

- 2) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple,[1] third-party, independent, reliable sources.

- My point is not OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but I think this article is being targeted because is a Colombian embassy in an unrelated country with "few bilateral relations" country, but had this been an American embassy in an unrelated country with "few bilateral relations" like the Embassy in Juba, there wouldnt have been any scrutiny (and there wasnt on that particular article).

- Delete There is no inherent notability for embassies. Each should be judged for satisfaction of WP:ORG. This one does not appear to have the required significant coverage by multiple independent and reliable sources needed to satisfy the notability guideline. "Article X also exists and would have to be deleted" is not a convincing Keep argument. Edison (talk) 02:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Edison, can you comment on the Korean war content please? Delete is no longer an option since the notability here is already massively proven for Move to create Colombia-South Korea relations. The only thing deleting achieves at this point is disrupting article history and effecting a cut and paste which breaks copyright law. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:22, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Where do you derive the authority to announce, in the middle of an AFD, that "Delete is no longer an option." I strongly reject your claim that this AFD cannot result in the deletion of the article. There is no guideline which says that embassies are inherently notable, and there has not been "massive" proof of notability. The fact that the Korean War occurred, or that Columbia had some relationship to it, does not prove that their embassy is notable. Notability is not inherited. Edison (talk) 23:48, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- embassies are not inherently notable. 3 of the sources refer to its location, 2 to how the embassy is accredited for elsewhere, thats not indepth coverage. and 2 more related to bilateral relations. Have you even looked at the article. LibStar (talk) 03:11, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree the current sources are less than ideal but, in my view, their lack of quality is not sufficient grounds for deleting the article. It is likely there are good sources out there to be found and that there will be even more in the future. Relations between nations is an important subject; so is diplomacy in a general sense. Embassies are often in the news, with stories about asylum seekers, diplomatic rows, unfortunately sometimes attacks; this information becomes more important if there are any conflicts or incidents between these two nations. Journalists, government officials, persons seeking to change countries, architects -- many will need encyclopedic information on this subject.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
