Railway station proposed in 2009, but never any firm plans to build, can find no references post 2013. Total25 (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Support Probably an old paper lying in the drawer of someone's office by now. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Ack! Ack! Pasta bomb! (talk) 02:39, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral. The lack of a station at South Perth has been a political issue ever since they built the line, and as a proposal it's definitely something that has coverage in reliable sources, and probably meets WP:GNG if anyone could be bothered digging through newspaper archives. However, I'm dubious on whether the topic is encyclopedic, and someone seeing it with its own article might assume it had progressed further than it had. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:27, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral verging on Support of delete - if sufficient evidence of the paper trail - newspaper refs could show the proposal and the deferment in a number of good substantial references - it verges on passable (in the evidence of the issues or people involved in proposal, and the evidence of deferment) - in its current state, and if it was to stay that way - then I can agree with the Delete proposal satusuro 10:57, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

School is a rare Level 1 public school on the south side of Chicago and was the focus of a documentary, The Curators of Dixon School (2012), because of the school's unique art focused learning environment. There are lots of reliable secondary sources about both the school and the documentary that can be used to expand this page. Kausticgirl (talk) 01:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Delete The fact that the movie may be notable does not make the school notable onless there are WP:RS unrelated to the movie. If you can present WP:RS regarding the educational philosophy/system ping me.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:32, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- I would think that the documentary would count as a RS towards the school's notability. One RS is generally not enough, although other editors have provided more.Rlendog (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep The school has one of the largest collections of African art of the Diaspora outside of a museum and uses that artwork as part of its educational curriculum. Since 1998 they have also hosted an annual art fair call the "Cultural Coonection African Marketplace and Bazaar" where students are able to sell their own artwork while also hosting workshops for the public. Given that the school is also academically successful and not a magnet or charter school I vote Keep since academically-successful, art-based public schools in the inner-city are rare.

- Delete Much like many of the Robotech articles, this is just long over detailed plot summary with no real world context or notability. Sources are all either from the work itself or the official website. This is not an encyclopaedic article and is not suitable for wikipedia.SephyTheThird (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep While I agree that this is unreferenced and excessive plot summary, it's more important to see what it is: a consolidation of several dozen other smaller, equally unreferenced pages. Take a look at what links here for the article--there are several redirects that point here. Robotech is certainly not near the thriving topic of interest that it was 20 years ago, but we should have SOME content rather than a bunch of redlinks and broken redirects. I don't have the time to clean it up, but in this case, I argue that keeping it in its current broken state is a less bad alternative than deleting it--how many other deletion discussions closed as merge, resulting in those other former articles now pointing to this one? Deleting this undoes all that. Jclemens (talk) 07:04, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- So you agree with the reasons for nomination but want to keep it because it's in your words "some content"? Red links are easily removed, so that should never be a factor in keeping an article. the page being the result of merges and deletions is not really an issue, the lack of progress on the article has shown there was a good reason the previous pages would have been acted on in the first place. The series not being a "thriving topic of interest" actually makes it more suitable for this sort of analysis of it's content and there not being any interest is a very good reason to cut back on excessive content which is what articles for both series suffer from. Instead of focusing on long plot summaries across several character, terminology and history articles, the focus should be on the core encyclopaedic content; details about the show and it's premise, it's production and reception. There is no shortage of useful information for these areas without the need to pad them out with this type of content. Articles should provide an overall summary for all types of reader, not detail only a fan would want to read. Wikia exists for that purpose.SephyTheThird (talk) 08:17, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- You should take a look at other huge franchises such as Sailor Moon, notice we don't have List of battles in Sailor Moon or the wars involving the Sailor Senshi and Chaos. A wise editor once told me to keep the summaries short and let the reader enjoy the series for themselves, we don't need un-sourced loads of WP:OR BS that tells detailed information down to what Rick Hunter had for breakfast in episode such and such. As for the redirects, I can bet some are very in universe that only fans of the show would understand. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:48, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete- way too long, nothing but plot summary written primarily in an in-universe style, and has no sourcing to speak of. Cruft is cruft and should be deleted, no matter how often it's been shovelled from one place to another. Reyk YO! 08:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep This source here appears to give this in fictional universe wars significant coverage. Also received some coverage in this [2], and [3] Valoem talk contrib 09:55, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- That book is by a publisher that repackages Wikipedia content, not a reliable source. Reyk YO! 13:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Way too much in-universe data. Article reads too much as if it is applicable to the real world when it fact only notable to the series itself. If at all possible, a single paragraph under a "Setting" sub-heading could be salvaged somewhere from this....whatever this is. But given the shape of the other articles in this franchise, I don't even know where we'd put that. —KirtMessage 21:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Seeing the wars involve the characters, I placed the info in the lead section over at List of Robotech characters. No in depth detail, just enough to give the reader what the wars are about to fit them into a better understanding of the series. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:12, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. This reminds me of TTN's old nominations. Per WP:PLOT, Wikipedia is not a catalog of indiscriminate plot points or synopses. Wikipedia mirrors and trivial mentions are not enough to save this article. It needs significant, real-world coverage from independent reliable sources. This sort of plot-only article belongs on Wikia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

However, except for one reference to a Robotech movie in which Mark Hamill (and which does not expressly discuss the subject of this article), all references are to the Robotech website.

- Keep He has received international press interest over a period of several years, which normally makes someone notable. Even if an individual achieves fame through false claims they may still be notable, e.g. Anna Anderson, Princess Caraboo. But it would be nice to find more sources that discuss whether he is a fake: parts of the article are close to original research. Colapeninsula (talk) 14:44, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The content in the article is about a man who almost died seven times, and I agree that it is absolute relevant. But the truth is that it is about a music teacher who lied to a journalist, it is obvious that the story is fake and that makes the article irrelevant! /Bro(sv) (talk) 18:34, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. By chance, just recently - one year after I raised some doubts in the Selak article's talk page - I've created List of disasters in Croatia by death toll. Now, Selak allegedly survived at least one incident (1963 aircraft crash) that would have easily made that list, but I still could not find anything about it apart from what Selak claims. This is highly suspect. On achieving notability through false claims: no problem with that, but there are apparently no sources that state his claims are false (BBC only goes as far as "not independently verified"), so Selak is not even notable as a hoaxer.

- There's no doubt that such things are notable. These are things that's "if it's notable at X, then it's good enough for Y. In other words, it's apples and apples. Those who are voting for deletion mean any mention of these should be extinguished at Wikipedia. I don't think people meant that; so that's a merge.

- No, that is completely wrong, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. GiantSnowman 13:10, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- Nope. I'm not bound to abide by an WP:ESSAY. AFDs need consensus for deletion, no consensus defaults to keep. Articles existing for a long time are perfectly valid precedents. If this has to be deleted, the reasons have to be better than "because other articles have it, but this shouldn't". –HTD 13:41, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- No, that is completely wrong, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. GiantSnowman 13:10, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- I am aware that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument may be valid or invalid but if a list of hat-tricks done by international players of Australia, Scotland, Belgium, France, Japan and Romania are notable enough to warrant their own article why not by Philippine players isn't. A hat-trick is a notable acchievement. Systemic bias may be in play here since the Philippines isn't one of "football powerhouses". It doesn't matter if an article made by international players of Brazil, Bhutan, Guam or any FIFA member nation is created as long as it is sourced in my opinion which is the case of this article.--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 17:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

- Not sure what to make of this. On one hand, elevating the England version and deleting the Philippines version feels very much like WP:BIAS. On the other hand, this list looks like synthesis—most, if not all, of the references only support that a given hat trick occurred, rather than discussing the putative topic of Philippine national team hat tricks. The England article is better about this, though a majority of its references seem to only regard a single hat trick. --BDD (talk) 16:17, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

No indication of notability. The three references lead straight to the network so are not independent of the subject. None of those work anyway. The "official website" doesn't work either. None of the people mentioned as presenting it are notable. And a search for "Ice" and "RTE" produces many mentions of this (which doesn't appear to be related.)

The result was keep. Consensus is that ANT (network) passes the notability guidelines. There is less discussion on ANT+ and I can't be sure on consensus for that article as some editors look not to be discussing both articles, so would say No Consensus for that article but discussion lean towards merging which any editor could boldly do.

- ANT (network) (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)
This page, along with it's child ANT+ do not appear to have any informative purpose, other than to advertise the ANT company's technology. Of note, the ANT company, nor their owner Dynastream, appear to be important enough to have their own pages. If either of these pages were to exist, this page might be worthy for a merge, with significant content cut out. Evidence points towards these pages being maintained by marketing consultants to promote these products.
This may even be a candidate for speedy deletion, however there might be some relevancy for the technology sector given the ubiquitous nature of some of their partners' products (eg Samsung Galaxy phones). I first heard of this technology when my Galaxy tried to update the ANT Radio software. The only information I could find was these wikipedia pages, the company's own pages, and discussions on forums defending the ANT software, comparing its importance to Bluetooth.[1] (I can't help but notice the defender is "OneCanuck", and this is a Canadian company, but this is mere speculation.)
Such claims of primacy with Bluetooth might be fit for forums, and probably fits in some wikia or other wiki dedicated to computer science.
What is not speculation is that the article's history[2], featuring heavy initial edits by a now-deleted User:Steven.keeping. Again, we can't be certain this is the same Stephen Keeping that is named as a reference for my ANT technology articles[3], or that co-founded Ecritech, who claims "Our strengths address the challenges of producing content for hi-tech product promotion" and goes on how their strengths as journalists can help tech companies get articles, like the opinion OpEd linked earlier in this paragraph which was to a journal that Keeping was employed by at one point in time (or at least worked under an email address to their domain).[4]
We can also take a look at this User Keeping's first edit: [10]. While the initial creation of the page and minor edits (two users, one of them a bot) might have been well intentioned, we see the marketing vocabulary arrive with this user Keeping.
All of this info (and I've only been searching for references for 2 hours) seem to point to a self-serving expansion of this page. I am hard pressed to see this as anything other than a page to promote the company's product, increase brand recognition.
But most pertinent of all, there is a severe lack of verifiable sources to support this page's content, and I am having a hard time thinking of a reason for its existence.
If this can be rewritten (and if someone takes that on before its deleted) consideration should be made for the only major child I could find, ANT+, which still deserves deletion, and at most, a section on the new & improved ANT (network.
For anyone with such re-writing gusto, I would ask you to consider this: why improve this page, instead of working to create an ANT (company) article (exact name of your choosing) that can cover the company's activities as a whole, with this network information as a small subsection, until such time that ANT technology becomes the household name that Bluetooth has become.WildElf (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

- Keep ANT (network). Low power wireless protocol quite widely used in the wearable sports and health electronics area, with tens of millions of devices using it. Googling for "ANT radio protocol -colony -colonies -wikipedia -thisisant", i.e. ignoring the Dynastream company pages (and ant colonies) produces lots of results for me, from which there seem to be a plenty of articles either on it, or discussing it in depth (and which aren't adverts or written by Dynastream) to demonstrate its notability - e.g.

- Strong Keep / Merge. This is definitely not a candidate for speedy deletion as there is no consensus and this does not meet the criteria of being a promotion. I don't see where this is written without a neutral point of view and the content is indeed encyclopedic and notable. I do agree that this needs to be written and the two pages, ANT(network) and ANT+ should be merged as ANT+ is not different enough (and does not have enough content) to deserve a separate page. I agree with the examples Papuass gives above and offer recent news references which contributes to this topic's notability. I also offer the [What links here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/ANT_(network)] page which shows a number of other pages linking to ANT.

- Speedy. The page is presently little more than product lists and links to one manufacturer's webpages, exactly as proscribed in WP:5P1. ANT is emerging in a similar way to Bluetooth, with one company (Dynastream Innovations) gate-keeping access to the technology details, much as Ericsson did with Bluetooth. It is not the widening adoption of ANT+ to "household name" that will make it fit for a Wikipedia entry or the reduction of marketing language, but the unrestricted availability of the underlying information Dynastream control; ANT+ deserves a Wikipedia entry and I'm sure it will have one when the copyright holders eventually permit it.Jskaife (talk) 14:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

a) page provides no information not provided on the wikipedia Spin valve article which is already more detailed and complete. The only source in the "lateral spin valve" article can't be retrieved.
b) lateral spin valves are a type of spin valve and do not merit a separate article. At most they merit a subsection in the spin valve article.

She is a lead actress in the movie "Snow" and it's sequels. I am requesting that the page be allowed to grow and not be deleted.--Groulsom (talk) 18:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

- @ Ridernyc Have you read Wikipedia's civility policy? The term sockpuppet, meatpuppet may be seen by some as derogatory and should be used with care. It is clear from my edits and post on the original page that I have been improving this page long before you posted a delete notice on it. Before you call me a name will you provide the proof! I didn't just pop out of thin air like you have claimed. You may get this page deleted if you try hard enough but lets do it for the right reasons, so can you please explain in detail why you feel there's no notability. --Wetmnt1 (talk) 00:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- hysterical, yes I know policy please see WP:DUCK it's is blatantly obvious your actions and the actions of the others are linked. Ridernyc (talk) 05:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Ridernyc could have handled things a little more discreetly and/or diplomatically, but it's not really against policy to voice concerns of sockpuppetry in an AfD. Basically what he's concerned about (the proof) is that you (Wetmnt1) and Groulsom have only edited Wikipedia on things concerning Danielson. Your account was the first that was created and you made the article, but you have no other edits to show that you are here to do anything other than edit about Danielson. Where the concern with sockpuppetry comes in is that Groulsom's account was created a few days after the article was proposed for deletion and they removed the tag. Since the two of you have only made edits concerning this one article, it's a reasonable assumption to suspect that you are either the same person or that you are people that have contact with one another off of Wikipedia that are editing the article. Now if you're sockpuppets (ie, one person) then that's a block straight out of the gate if a check shows that you are the same person (there are ways to check for this). However if you are different people then there may be a little wiggle room here. If you were both asked to come here and edit the article then all you have to do is state up front that the two of you knew each other off Wikipedia and/or were asked by someone (Danielson, her representative) to create the article. Now if you were asked to create the article (like if you were part of a PR or freelance job) then you will also need to state this up front. You can still edit if you have a conflict of interest, but you absolutely must be transparent about this. The same thing goes for if you are part of a group trying to edit a page. You can be blocked for meatpuppetry but this sort of block usually ends up getting made because the accounts were just there to stuff ballots rather than to try to get a concentrated effort to genuinely improve a page based on policy and learn to edit based on policy. In most cases a "meatpuppet" will not argue for a keep based on policy and will not try to learn these policies enough to try to genuinely improve the article. (IE, they'll try to twist policy around based on a small criteria despite several editors saying otherwise.) There's a lot more to it than this and this is already too long as it is, but basically at this point the best thing to do is to be transparent about everything. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- What you need to here is show how Danielson's roles are notable. Minor parts are pretty much considered to be any role that is not a main character and has not received coverage in reliable sources. For example, if someone played a character that was not in a large portion of the film and is not mentioned in reviews for the movie (other than a routine listing of cast) then that will not show notability. Be careful about using news sources that were fairly heavily based on press releases since those tend to be greatly depreciated at AfD. Primary sources (things released by Danielson, a crew member, or anyone affiliated with her or the films she was in) will not give notability either. (WP:PRIMARY) You need sources that discuss Danielson in depth and reviews that will mention her performance. If she was a minor character (like a character that dies 20 minutes into the film) but gets a mention in a review then that would still help show notability. However be careful- if a film is not notable on Wikipedia then these roles probably won't do anything at all even if she was a main character. Basically just being in a film is not enough to show notability- you have to show that these appearances are notable with coverage. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- What should be added here is this is just one of several articles I have discovered all related to Benetone Hillin Entertainment, all created by a small group of SPAs and the ones that fail the GNG all have similar things happening at AFD [11]. I think the this might be the tip of a much much larger iceberg. Ridernyc (talk) 09:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Tokogirl79, Thank you for your input on here, it's very much appreciated. I understand his concern, but I am not affiliated with anyone on here or the actress. I am not involved in some large conspiracy network like Rydernyc has suggested. Thanks again for improving the article. --Wetmnt1 (talk) 16:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- may we ask what your inspiration to register and create this article was? Ridernyc (talk) 23:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Weak delete. My media sweeps did not find much of what could be considered sources, although what I find interesting is the rather substantial pageviews counts (about a hundred a day), plus lots of image consistency (reasoning: when lots of images are of the same person, it is a sign that they're in the public eye) -- my unofficial tests of notability of course (which she passes), so I am somewhat on the fence. Wikipedia's tests of notability, well, I did not see much in terms of in-depth sources, independent, just mentions of her performances here and there. So the current article is mostly unsourced. So I am leaning to delete, could be persuaded if better sources are found.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:52, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Apparently non-notable painter of pseudo-classical portraits. There's no indication of notability in the article, nor does a search (Oxford Reference, Grove, Benezit, JSTOR etc) turn up anything at all.

If you believe that the article should be kept, please show that Martini is notable by citing a good number of reliable sources with in-depth coverage of him and his achievements. I have already searched in vain for such sources; perhaps you will have more luck. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:10, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Justlettersandnumbers, Vivaldo Martini[1] is famous for his woman portraits and post cubist compositions[2]. Vivaldo Martini is not a great famous painter but in Swiss is also famous as Augusto Giacometti, Albert Schmidt or Richard Pirl. He was a paint teacher too. He formed a lot of artist like Vanya Ferrara[3] Jean-Pierre Colinge or Genevieve Paris[4]. There's one book named Vivaldo Martini 1908-1990. Peintures printed in 1993 with 158 pages. One paint of Vivaldo Martini is exposed in a French museum and one other is in the Javier Mendez's collection in Spain[5]. And one picture is in the Centre d'iconographie genevoise at Geneva[6].

- Delete. For Swiss visual artists, the extent of their coverage in the selective biographical database SIKART is a very good indicator of notability. SIKART covers artists with a "documentation level" of 1 to 5 depending on their importance. In this case, Martini is not even indexed in SIKART, which indicates that he has had about zero impact on the Swiss art scene. Lacking other sources that would make him pass WP:GNG, it's a relatively clear-cut matter. Sandstein 09:13, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep because a monthly swiss art magazine (Tribune des arts) had written an long article on Vivaldo Martini and his works in 1993. The title is L'oeuvre secrète de Martini : un grand portraitiste retrouvé à Genève (Vivaldo Martini's secret work : a great portraitist found in Geneva)[1] And more, in Benezit Dictionary of Artists edited by Oxford Oxford University Press there's an article about Vivaldo Martini [2][3].

The 12 people in the village each paid $1 to cast a vote."). Maybe the majority of the township is unincorporated and that could account for the difference.

- Keep as per User:David Eppstein, and this [12] (believe it or not, the NYTimes fact-checks the wedding announcements aggressively to make sure claims of affiliation are both notable and verifiable. Few news columns are as aggressively fact-ckecked as the weddings page, as I understand it, groomsmen are prone to sending in hoax affiliations, and mothers-of-the bride exaggerate - plus it's intensely read. Therefore the Times puts staff hours into it). E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:34, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- Well, sure, the Center exists, but quoting that would be like using a wedding announcement to document the existence of, say, the Heritage Foundation or the Brookings Institute. In other words, it's not an especially quotable source. And what is truly indicative (at least for me) about this institution's lack of notability is its seemingly total absence from academic sources (other than the announcements I mentioned). You'd think an entity funded by Americans and registered in the US, that deals with a field (Cambodia Studies) not entirely neglected there would have some impact on the American academic landscape, but no. - Biruitorul Talk 14:02, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable, but reasonable does not always apply in area studies, fields where internecine bickering can make even the darkest corners of WP editing look collegial. I don't even know that the name of the organization has been constant, or there isn't some variation to how the name is cited that would make work done there easy to find for someone actually in Cambodian studies (a highly politicized field). In fact the problem with this AFD is that there is very little RS on this outfit, but the sources that do exist (cited by User Eppstein) are highly reliable. (I don't mean the wedding thing in the Tiems, I didn't propose adding that to page, I only brought it here because there is so little, and yet, what there is looks sound.) At the very least, we know that this organization exists and has a location in Siem Reap, a town that is a mecca both for serious scholarship and for the very, very rich - not only because it has some of the world's highest-end hotels, but because it is a pet historic rescue project of choice for the world's very,very rich. Who may, at times, work better with the notoriously corrrupt authorities of Cambodia by keeping projects under the radar. I just don't know.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2014 Ninoy Aquino International Airport bombing plot. Potentially a terrorist organization, but the question is WP:ORG & WP:GNG. Subject has received coverage of various depth from multiple reliable sources in the Philippines including the Philippine Star, ABS-CBN News, and others. But further inspection of the sources, show that they are primarily regarding a foiled bombing plot, with the organization and "chief of staff" of the organization almost all mentioned in any depth in relation to the foiled bombing plot. The bombing plot itself, has received significant coverage sufficient to meet WP:EVENT, including from sources outside of the Philippines in CNN, Reuters, Breitbart, International Business Times, and Gulf News. Therefore, as the organization is known primarily for a single event, WP:BLP1E could be construed to suggest a redirect to an article about the foiled plot would be the best result for the subject of this AfD.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:29, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to a red link? Are you serious? Kraxler (talk) 02:21, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- And why not? The event which this organization has received passing coverage has received significant coverage in its own right, sufficient to pass WP:PERSISTENT. Therefore, the event, which does not have an article yet created, is notable. And unless this organization is notable for anything else other than than plot, than it falls under WP:BLP1E or something similar.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

- The sources primary subject is the bomb plot, and it clearly meets WP:EVENT. The subject of this AfD has received multiple mentions in relations to the notable event, and thus is a related term. Whether the organization meets WP:ORG IMHO is not the question, but it is the fact that it is only notable for a single notable event, and thus should be redirected to that event (an article that should be created).--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
