Content of this article seem to be entirely school age vandalism/gossip. Falcadore (talk) 01:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. This article appears to have a long history of vandalism and unconstructive edits. I deleted some seemingly irrelevant personal stuff, which leaves only a few of her credits. IMDb says she's had roles in four different Australian TV series, so it's possible she's a legitimate TV star down there, but I couldn't find any independent sources to back this up. Will be happy to !vote keep if some such sources can be identified.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:31, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

- Delete as essentially unsourced BLP of a non-notable actress. Carrite (talk) 18:57, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
KeepComment Youth notwithstanding, her roles as the major characters of Brittany Flune in 25 episodes of the children's television series Mortified for Nine Network Australia, Disney Australia and the BBC, and Natasha Hamilton in 26 episodes of the Seven Network's children's teen drama Trapped can at least be verified. And as such would seem to have her meeting WP:ENTERTAINER. Do we toss any article because it is subjject to vandalism? Or might we assume a little good faith in the significant roles in multiple television shows and dig a little further ourselves? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- The lack of policing of such vandalism would suggest that notability is relatively low. There does not seem to be much attempt to expand the article to cover these performances. --Falcadore (talk) 02:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- While there have been some minor instances of true vandalism, such minimal vandalism has been quickly dealt with and reverted... so there is no more "lack of policing" than there is for any other article. And in reviewing the history, it seems that the majority of the edits seem more to be more in the line of inexperienced editors trying to improve the article and is thus indicative that there is interest in the subject. That this one has not yet been expanded by experienced editors simply means it has not yet been expanded. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- The lack of policing of such vandalism would suggest that notability is relatively low. There does not seem to be much attempt to expand the article to cover these performances. --Falcadore (talk) 02:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
KeepComment - There is a point about this, while Mitchell lacks some degree of guest roles on other Australian television series, aside from her contract roles in three series; Mitchell's role as a series regular on three different series within the succession of five years would place some degree of notability, any vandalism of the article should not determine whether it is notable or not. My suggestion is that it should be expanded to feature a section with some minor information on her early life and more detailed resume information, similar to other actor biographies, and time should be allowed for users to find sources to back up the factual statements. TVtonightOKC (talk) 06:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)- Keep not everything is posted online - ghits isn't everything - major roles in multiple significant children's series is sufficient. Suggest semi-protection or pending edit protection if vandalism is a problem, not deletion. The-Pope (talk) 16:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

- Extreme Circus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Not yet notable term or phrase, recently coined (feb 2010) not yet notable. @ d \/\/ | | |Talk 11:50, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also I can't find the mentioned Brimbank weekly article, or any other related news. The other problem is "Extreme" can be used in so many contexts, "this looks like an extreme circus, awesome", "dude look at those extreme circus tricks" etc. @ d \/\/ | | |Talk 12:01, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Comment I expected to do some searching and quickly conclude delete, but it wasn't so easy. It is a harder term to search because the phrase 'extreme circus' is used incidently in a lot of articles. A little more work gave me [2] and others. The term is used extensively in news reports to describe a type of circus, so it appears to be a very valid and accepted term (whodathough). The question remains, however, if it is more than a WP:DICDEF, as I didn't find a lot on the concept of 'extreme circus', just a lot of valid usage and a couple of circuses that use that as part of their name (there is much I didn't search, so it may still exist). The current article, however, is wrong and the term wouldn't be credited in 2010, as it was in use before that. In it's current form, there really isn't anything of value (no sourcing, inaccurate info), so transwiki to wiktionary isn't really a choice. This might be a good candidate for a rescue, as the subject matter *might* be notable on its own, but would require a complete rewrite. Withholding !vote for now. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:46, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- I've added a little but it is a difficult subject to research. Hoping the rescue tag will attract an editor or two with more experience with these types of articles. I'm still bordering on keep, but reserving my notvote until I see more input on the article. Dennis Brown (talk) 16:54, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep The term is used in many places to describe something more than just a regular circus. Austin Chronicle Dream Focus 15:53, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- The Sydney Morning Herald says "Its genre, known as extreme circus, is a fusion of free-form acrobatics, hip-hop, virtuosic percussion and beat-boxing, a type of rapping." See? Its a genre, a major newspaper defines it. Dream Focus 17:18, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- Except there's little indication that Cirque du Soleil, the most prominent practitioners of this "genre", meets the musical component of this 'definition' -- which seems to be speaking of the 'Tom Tom Club' act, rather than the genre as a whole. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 10:20, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- If you bother to read that article, it says "They draw the audience into the performance through continuous live music". Dream Focus 12:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- No. If you read the article you would notice that it gives no indication that Cirque du Soleil's musical repertoire is based around "hip-hop, virtuosic percussion and beat-boxing, a type of rapping." HrafnTalkStalk(P) 13:11, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- The Austin Chronicles says "stunning sets, outrageous costumes, modern music, and an attention to art in every aspect of the production" [3]. Exactly what type of music they use, isn't really relevant. No animals, just a lot of stunts and constant music, etc. Dream Focus 14:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- (i) "Exactly what type of music" is very relevant, because the SMH article specifies "exactly what type of music" in its definition -- a type that does not appear to match Cirque du Soleil's music. (ii) No mention is made of "constant music" in either cited source, as far as I can ascertain. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 15:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Also the Austin Chronicle is describing Cirque du Soleil specifically, not 'extreme circus' generally (in fact it barely mentions the latter, in a passing reference, in discussing "most obvious differences between the original and the assortment of 'extreme circus' imitations" late in the article). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 15:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- It mentions other "extreme circuses" exist, calling itself the original and the rest just imitations. That proves that extreme circuses do exist. There is music. Dream Focus 16:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- WP:ITEXISTS! Big fragging deal! And the source spends one whole sentence on this existence. T_R_I_V_I_A_L mention.

- Keep (see comments above) per new citations found and added that demonstrate the word is in common usage and a separate genre. Thanks to Dream Focus for digging up the refs. At this point, needs some tags as stub, but passes wp:n. Dennis Brown (talk) 21:50, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

- Delete or Merge (to Circus, per Dthomsen8 below [or to Contemporary circus ]) the Austin Chronicle article is on Cirque du Soleil, not 'extreme circus' generally, and the SMH article is (i) rather short & (ii) on the topic of a (second, if less well-known) specific act, rather than 'extreme circus' generally. This does not appear to be "significant coverage" on this topic (to which both sources are tangential). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 17:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Keep This poem generated enough of a viral splash that there must be enough references out there to constitute notability. I'm not going looking for them but I'm sure they are there to be found Tesspub (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Delete I love this poem, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of discovered knowledge, not a discoverer. At the moment, secondary coverage is lacking, especially in-depth coverage from reliable sources (a million people praising it on youtube doesn't count). If it is notable, it will be covered. Wikipedia can catalog it then, but an ecyclopedia should not be predicting if a poem will have lasting notability. Wickedjacob (talk) 16:22, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

- Delete When result in a news search gives you "...border. Jack...", you know you have notability problems. Unverifiable and unremarkable. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- I certainly agree that identifiability is fundamental to notability. However, I think the word here with "border. Jack" is "confounded". Using the previous respondent's example, i.e., the one that introduces this page for "news", I persisted to page six and found a good reference. I than added the word "dog" to the search and found more refs and added two of them to the article. Here are the three that were just added to the article:

Carrite (talk) 01:19, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- I know this cross exists, but there are no reliable sources longer than two sentences available. I'm not sure I agree with keeping an article because there are probably reliable sources covering it -- none of the google hits are suitable references, and a lot of false positives are generated. I've just tagged it in case the consensus is to keep. — anndelion ❋ 01:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

- I linked to the first in my rationale/"nominating" statement, and the results in the second don't give any information at all; a passing mention in the news in a completely separate context doesn't make something notable. I have yet to find any reliable resources that say more than the minimum (in one case, two sentences). – anna 10:50, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm pretty sure that linking to search results doesn't verify notability. The articles within the searches you provided only seemed to mention the "breed" in a passing fashion, far from the significant coverage required by general notability guidelines. No one questions the fact that the cross-breed exists, the question is whether or not it is notable or at least, an excepted breed within the industry. The only way to establish that is with reliable sources that provide significant coverage, which doesn't seem to exist. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:47, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

- Comment- Procedurally, when you want to remove cross-contamination from search results, remove intermediary spacing; "borderjack" -wikipedia has far less clutter, and brings this to the top; not significant coverage, but if considered WP:RS will solve 'unreferenced'; species of plants and animals are presumed WP:N regardless - the only hurdle is whether that extends to dog cross breeds, especially ones with less history. Dru of Id (talk) 01:31, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Dog Breed Info Center isn't really reliable -- it's primarily a haven for breeders who want to advertise, and propagates a lot of misinformation -- but it has a high Google pagerank, so mirrors have popped up. They have pages on many, many mixes, most of them less detailed than even the Border Jack one (which is saying something), so I'm not sure that can be used as evidence of the cross' notability.
- This is not an interspecific or even intersubspecific hybrid, so that's not really a valid comparison. There are well over 600 dog breeds, but if we only take the 50 most popular, that gives you 1,225 potential mixes. I think letting this one stay is a slippery slope: if "it has two sentences in a reliable book -- it's notable!" is considered a valid rationale, we'll be inundated with two-sentence stubs. – anna 03:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - Borrowing a line from yours from AfD Talk, here is a more expansive reasoning for my KEEP vote above: Here's the root of the problem: "Species are notable, sure, and de facto all separate, established breeds are as well, but there's nothing addressing crossbreeds." In my view certain of these "crossbreeds" have likely attained critical mass in terms of popular recognition as established types of dogs — Notable Neologisms, if you will. Borderjack seems to me to have more or less attained that mark. Honest people may differ in that assessment, which is what AfD is about — figuring out a consensus. By the way, the golden retriever "breed" was created as a cross-breed between yellow labs, an extinct breed of spaniel, and bloodhounds. That's how breeds are made...

- Replied to your first message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. How is the Goldendoodle relevant to this discussion? They have reached the critical mass you speak of -- media coverage, entire books dedicated, coverage in dog encyclopedias, etc. They certainly pass the general notability guideline. On the other hand, this cross does not, and that's what my issue is with the article. Like I said below to someone, I really am interested in seeing other reliable sources if they exist. "Significant" coverage requires more than two sentences in a "for dummies" book, I would think. – anna 16:41, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

- Delete or redirect to List of dog hybrids. This is a ridiculous sub-stub with not much chance that it will ever grow beyond, at most, stub size. Clearly fails WP:GNG. From an organisational point of view it just doesn't make sense to cover this on a separate page. That's how an encyclopedia differs from a dictionary. And no, a hybrid between races is not the same as a species. The species of all dogs is canis lupus (i.e. grey wolf). Hans Adler 16:15, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

This crossbreed is notable enough to be considered a "designer breed" or a "Designer Dog". I am opposed to redirect or merge, as an editor after a merge or redirect may then delete the material from the target article. Unscintillating (talk) 02:15, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- Being considered a 'designer dog' requires no notability at all. That said, none of the references you or Colonel Warden have added provide significant coverage -- a brief mention doesn't qualify, I would think. They mention the cross and say nothing beyond that, other than the book I linked to earlier. – anna 10:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
