No indication of sourcing to meet WP:CORP. Found only trade journal articles obviously written off press releases in a search. Article was initially written in 2007 by a throwaway account whose only edits were to this article. It came to my attention thru a question at the Teahouse by a user who was subsequently blocked for a promo username violation.

  • Comment - Ok, I found a newspaper article also written off a press release, a book published by a vanity press house, and several directory type listings. Still nothing for notability. John from Idegon (talk) 23:34, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article lacks reliable sources and appears to fail WP:ENT. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:42, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article should stay on Wikipedia! It is about an actor, why shouldn't he be on the site? Plus, there were plenty of sources on the page, but you keep deleting them!!! If it fails to meet your standards, then here's a crazy idea... Make it meet your standards instead of just completely deleting it! RizzBizzMovieFan (talk) 00:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete looking at his credits, he just seems like an extra. Doesn't qualify for his own article. Plus the one ref on there is a twitter status that isn't even from a verified twitter.

  • Delete. Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. Sorry, but it's too soon for an article on this person.

The result was redirect to Bauhaus 1979–1983. I do not see any policy based reason for deletion on the grounds of "clogging up search results". Nevertheless, I might have closed delete if there were more support for that and search results were actually clogged up. However, the suggested results has only two suggestions other than this article so the three easily fit in the box, and I don't believe that redirects are shown in the full search results (only the target page) SpinningSpark 18:45, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1979–1983

1979–1983 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This is not a justified DAB page. There is no article that covers this topic. Partial title matches are best found through the search function, and this page interferes with searching. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom; not seeing sufficient value in this DAB to make it worth keeping.  Gongshow   talk 23:59, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Well, there is one article that covers the topic "1979–1983".... Dohn joe (talk) 00:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No it doesn't. That article covers a barely notable obscure album with no relevance to what a general audience would expect from the title "1979–1983". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Who is going to search for it unless they want the album? Do people really type random combinations of years into Wikipedia? - Colapeninsula (talk) 09:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. User:SmokeyJoe? --В²C ☎ 16:15, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A search for 1979-1983 yields material in multiple articles. What clairvoyance says that anyone who enters 1979-1983 wants the obscure album previously imprecisely located at this title? Why is this clairvoyance to be considered superior to the Wikipedia search engine (which was substantially upgraded years ago). Note that this article was viewed zero times in ninety days, except for the effect the RM discussion concerning it. Note that it has no meaningful incoming links, virtually no secondary source content, and should probably be merged together with all of Bauhaus' other discography.
In short, the page should be deleted because: (1) it is not a proper DAB page; (2) there is no appropriate redirect target, the one suggested by some will mislead because the target doesn't cover the apparent topic, and the Wikipedia search engine is far superior in ranking likely wanted pages. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:54, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I really didn't plan to respond to every post here, but it has to pointed out that plenty of people visited the album page before the RM. 684 pageviews in March 2014, for example. Dohn joe (talk) 14:23, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a clearly notable topic. We shouldn't delete this from namespace. Dohn joe (talk) 03:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We already established that "1979–1983" is prone to be misrecognized as a reference to the time period, the redirect is more likely to mislead unsuspecting readers, and the search function will better help all readers if there is no such title, DAB or redirect. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:32, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably delete, definitely do not retarget - to keep the misleading redirect jamming up search results as requested by User:Dohn joe (on the basis that Bauhaus listings of Bauhaus compilations don't repeat Bauhaus Bauhaus Baushaus in front of every subtitle in the listing) would go against the RM result that this is simply clogging up search functions with a product anyone searching for would search "Bauhaus" not the impossible to remember year period. Redirects are cheap but bad redirects which jam up search aren't helpful. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep (delete is okay) this WP:Contrived dab page, but remove all partial title match entries from this page, then change it to be a redirect to the only use of this title on Wikipedia: the article currently at Bauhaus 1979–1983. Whether it's kept or deleted, the end result needs to be the redirect (anyone searching with "1979-1983" needs to be taken directly to the article about the album). The reason to keep rather than delete is to retain the history for posterity, to help keep it from being repeated. The main point is this: just say no to disambiguation that is unnecessary to resolve title conflicts. --В²C ☎ 16:11, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see four albums on the page with names that contain that string. Have we confirmed that there is only one that is ever referred to by it? If there is more than one then I would keep this, and if there are no others, then I would delete this page, since we don't generally have the thousands of possible odd year-range page titles. bd2412 T 16:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
    My Google Books searches show that the other albums always carry the longer titles. But why delete this page and not redirect it to the only subject actually known as "1979-1983"? Dohn joe (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because as already answered above 07:17, 15 July 2014: a bad redirect disables wikipedia's article search box. Why ask this again at 17:06, 15 July 2014 In ictu oculi (talk) 23:59, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we're all aware that you have made up your mind here, but perhaps User:BD2412 is still open to the possibility that it might be a good idea to have the title of an album actually serve as a link to that album.... Dohn joe (talk) 14:23, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I've made up my mind and your questioned was already answered. Here and in the RM we just had. Repeat "a bad redirect disables wikipedia's article search box" - which was one of the reasons for moving the Bauhaus 1979-1983 album out of the way of search functions. In the RM, which we just had. We don't need to reopen it here. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:28, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't think that it's a term people will naturally search for at all. bd2412 T 02:30, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
What about the ~650 people per month who went to the page pre-RM? Surely some of them got there via searching for the title, no? Dohn joe (talk) 13:49, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Every one of them could have arrived at the page by clicking an incoming link from another page. We have ways to test that, for example by setting up a dummy redirect and routing incoming links through it to see where visitors are coming from, but that hasn't been done here. bd2412 T 14:22, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm a big fan of dummy redirects. How would you suggest we set one up here? Dohn joe (talk) 14:53, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If we were to do that, we would need to keep this page and create a dummy redirect on it (like Bauhaus 1979–1983 (album)) leading to the proposed primary target for the term. However, if the page hits really were coming from incoming links, and those links have now been fixed, then whether we set up a dummy or not, we should see no appreciable change in the number of readers arriving at Bauhaus 1979–1983. bd2412 T 20:20, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment. This situation is simple. All but one of the uses that has "1979-1983" in its name is a partial title match. There is no evidence that any of those other uses are ever referenced as just "1979-1983". They don't even belong on the dab page, let alone have a claim on the title.

    There is only one use of "1979-1983" as a name. Only one. That means that name/title has a unique use, by definition. So it's not ambiguous, also by definition.

    Therefore, having a unique use and being an unambiguous title, 1979-1983 needs to be the title of, or a redirect to, the article about that one unique use. A recent RM resulted in choosing a different title for that article, which leaves us only with the redirect option. There is nothing to debate here about any of this.

    The only question here is whether the dab page is to be deleted before it is made into a redirect, or whether it should just be edited to be a redirect. I don't see a good reason to delete. --В²C ☎ 18:18, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • I went ahead and removed the partial title matches on the dab page, leaving all but one link, then changed it to a redirect. --В²C ☎ 16:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Properly reverted. The situation is not as nearly as simple as you would like to think. The redirect is inappropriate because the album is not the only possible target, and is not even a significant target. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • You wrote above: "There is no article that covers this topic." I presume you meant, "there is no topic to which this term refers". In other words, there is no target for this term, right? In any case, it was your justification for removing this dab page entirely. Now you're saying the album is not the only possible target? Those two positions are contradictory. --В²C ☎ 18:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no article that comprehensively or summarily covers to topic of the timespan 1979-1983. There are multiple unrelated articles that may be relevant. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:46, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't know the meaning or relevance of phrases like "no article that comprehensively or summarily covers to topic" and "multiple unrelated articles that may be relevant" to the issues of deciding primary topics, disambiguation and titling on WP with respect to a given term. I think you're referring to "1979-1983" as a topic when in fact it is a term (and possible title of, or redirect to, an article about one or more topics), and that's confusing.

      We know this: There is one (and only one) article that "comprehensively or summarily covers" a topic commonly referred to as "1979-1983" in reliable sources, and that is relevant to title decision making on WP. --В²C ☎ 23:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • As a "term", it is best treated as a search query, and the search for this term shouldn't be hijacked by a bad redirect.
No one refers to the album by that term unless already in context. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No one refers to any other topic by that term in any context. --В²C ☎ 05:48, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The term is used in other contexts. That usage makes it a plausible search term, for other uses.
  • East Australian drought
  • First Thatcher ministry
  • Inter-Dukakis Massachusetts governorship
  • Other composition titles
Other contexts exist: Australians droughts, Thatcher, Edward King, etc, for which a redirect would interfere with the default search function. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:51, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Doe john makes a good point but I'll agree that this page creates more confusion than it prevents. Anthony Appleyard moved the article from this title to the Bauhaus album article and I'm curious to hear their input on this. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:48, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete My reading of policy is that this page should be deleted. Although I can't personally see the harm in keeping it. Possibly rearranging it so the album (primary target) is at the top and the rest is below. SPACKlick (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- I simply do not see what all of this debate is about? This certainly should not qualify for a DAB and I fail to see its true worth. There is no legit redirect page leaving only one viable option IMO which is to simply delete.--Canyouhearmenow 17:11, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Canyouhearmenow, why is Bauhaus 1979–1983 not a "legitimate" redirect target for 1979–1983, given that that topic is commonly referred to as 1979–1983 in reliable sources? I mean, 1979-1983 was the original title of that article[1], and remained so for six years. It's currently linked from the dab page, as the only one on there that is not a PTM. Now you say it's not even a legitimate redirect? Why? --В²C ☎ 17:53, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Massive undue weight on a single minor incident, peppered with poor sources and polemic attacks. Article was merged and redirected 6 months ago by User:Thargor Orlando but the merge has been unilaterally undone by the page creator, therefore this needs to go to AfD and deleted outright. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I still think a merge is appropriate here, and most (if not all) of the relevant information is already in Sami_Al-Arian_indictments_and_trial#Rashad_Hussein_comments. Delete also makes sense, as the commentary isn't really noteworthy outside of the indictments/trial article, but merge is my first option. Thargor Orlando (talk) 22:02, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Subject was discussed by the Council on Foreign Relations. We may dislike/disagree with the subject, but this is not a reason to remove an articles page. Also, the merge was never discussed. The page was tagged, no discussion occurred, and the tagger merged the page. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 22:06, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was tagged with a merger proposal for four months and not a single editor objected. The page had been merged for more than 6 months without objection. As Thargor notes, the relevant information is in the appropriate article. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 22:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note The Council on Foreign Relations stated that, "The controversy led to a larger question of whether the United States should engage the Organization of Islamic Conference diplomatically." [2] Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 22:21, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article creator has stated in an edit summary that the "article is about conservative response" - I believe that this indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of Wikipedia. We don't write articles about partisan responses, be they liberal or conservative. The article creator also stated "this is not a BLP" which indicates a misapprehension of the policy, which requires that anything stated about a living person anywhere must be solidly sourced and that personal blogs, political interest group press releases and polemic fringe organizations are not suitable, particularly for accusations as charged as the ones in question.

  • Its not news -. It's a subject with much more depth. Aside from the coverage after the Hussain nomination, it has continued. It was 5 months later that the CFR made its analysis. Also, 2 years later, it was discussed in the 2013 text by Erick Stakelbeck, "The Brotherhood" - reviewed by Politico, linked here [8]. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 05:05, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly beyond news, this subject has been evaluated by notables of their field of study. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 05:51, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - even with good and sound sources, this is still a tempest in a teacup; it is a classic one-news-cycle story - the outrage of the day, "all sound and fury signifying nothing" - see WP:ONEEVENT.

  • Keep After reviewing the above arguments, I think this article is a keep. While its name and subject matter may be less than interesting, it was a series of notable events, with international media giving it coverage. As the Council of Foreign Relations has shown, these events caused the U.S. to reconsider the existence of its ambassadorship. Also, the subject, as coverage has shown, was not simply about the actual comments. Those received coverage, and then it continued with the debate about what was said, a missing tape, media critism and support, followed by general reflections on the ambassadorship. This is way beyond one event, and the depth of coverage, and commentary, goes beyond "not news." As such, the article stands on its own. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 03:50, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The refs show this to be notable. Meets wiki notability standards, as reflected in RS refs. I don't see this as excluded by any of our oneevent policies (I believe the above one points to a policy about articles about individuals), because we keep articles about one event if coverage, as here, spans a period of time and is not just for example in the paper for a week or two.

  • Merge with Rashad Hussain. Too oblique a topic to warrant its own article, sources or no. pbp 21:49, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Having an article covering just a person's comments on one topic is inherently giving too much weight to the comments. Wikipedia is not news, and we do not need indepth article on minor comments.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply I think the article name is creating a problem here. The subject of the article is about - a series of events. As such, it should probably be renamed something more appropriate, like 2010 OIC Envoy appointment controversy. This would be more on topic. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 05:13, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Rashad Hussain. Massively undue weight, and I'd typically go with "Delete", but if some of this content has been merged into the main article we need to keep this around to preserve the history (it may be sensible to lock the redirect to prevent unilateral recreation again though).

Nominating this article on behalf of an editor with a potential conflict of interest, per a request on my talk page. The rationale is as follows: While quality source material exists in engineering trades such as Electronic Engineering Times[9][10][11][12][13] and Electronic Design News[14], in none of these sources is Adreno the subject of the article as required by GNG. Rather the sources are about Snapdragon (system on chip), which Adreno is a component of and where content about Adreno would be better suited. I suggest an AfD, rather than Merge, because most of the material on the Adreno page is not appropriate for Wikipedia (original research, extensive spec-sheets, crystal ball, etc.) such that practically speaking the content itself should be removed, rather than moved to a different page. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:26, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep—Googling Adreno review brings up hits to Anandtech,[1] Tom's Hardware[2] and NotebookCheck.[3] FRF has a good point that articles focusing on the Snapdragon processor are unlikely to establish the notability of the GPU it uses. These articles, though, are focused on the GPU performance, and provide a sufficient foundation on which to build a decent article. I see that the Notebook Check cite has pointers to reviews of older Adreno models; I suspect the same will be true for other hardware enthusiast sites.

  • Delete per being TOO SOON. The article itself states the film is "anticipated" and that "Details of the movie - currently in production - are shrouded in secrecy." Fine to keep it secret, but that secrecy becomes a lack of coverage. Allow a return only if or when WP:NF can be met. If author wishes it usefied, I'd be inclined to let him have it back for expansion and sourcing IF he changes his username to not appear to be the production company promoting its own interests. Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I can find nothing to show that either the movie or the comic would pass notability guidelines. All I can find is one source, which asserts that the comic is very popular locally, but that's about it. There's nothing really out there to show that it would merit an article at this point in time. Maybe in the future, but not just yet. Userfication is always an option as long as he makes sure to try to get someone to look over the article before re-submission. Maybe he can AfC it?

Completely unsourced article about a band with no strong claim of meeting WP:NMUSIC; updated so rarely that a debut album that they recorded almost ten years ago is portrayed as still in production and pending future release. According to the only non-trival source I can find about the band, what happened is that they broke up before the album was released, with the result that it didn't come out until 2013 — at which time they played one reunion show to support it. But I can't find any evidence that it garnered any significant airplay or did much of anything on the charts, WP:NMUSIC requires a full-scale tour rather than a single show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern, one legitimate source isn't enough to get a band past our inclusion gates on GNG grounds if they don't pass any NMUSIC criteria, and the only substantive "update" that's been made here is that several of its members are now playing with other non-notable bands. I'd be happy to withdraw this nomination if good sources, supporting a real claim of notability, could be added — but I can't see how that's particularly likely here. Delete.

CitizenShipper

CitizenShipper (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Highly promotional article, almost a G11. The sources are every one of them unreliable (--they are either straight PR admitted as such, like the reference from Business Day or based on PR, as the article said to be archived from Yahoo news (which often just reprints stories from elsewhere) but present on a promotional site) or irrelevant--such as the documentation on industry's inefficiency. The reference from a book turns out to be a mere listing in a table. This does not help--it indicates straining after any mention available.

There is one particular feature which I have seen in many promotional articles, and only in promotional articles " graduate student and physicist Richard Obousy, while making weekly Houston–Waco personal trips, began considering transportation efficiency as a whole. He determined that ..." Accounts of how the founder happened to conceive the project can be based only on what he himself chooses to say (regardless of which publication reprints it); though they may be of some reader interest tin the case of famous companies and products, they normally are merely the sort of fluff with which one begins an interview. Similarly, the entire body of material on the inefficiency of the usual transportation system is the sort of justification used to indicate the importance of the subject--while it can do this for the overall subject, such as a general article on a mode of transportation, it is entirely out of place in the article on a particular company in the field. It's what publicists say to make their clients appear important. We deal with this at WP by a link to the general article, not including it in the article on the company. The article also makes a very exceptional claim, that there were zero complaints about lost or damaged articles. For any mode of transporting objects, this is so exceptional that it requires exceptionally reliable sources, not merely one magazine article that seems to be based only on what the company chooses to tell them, not an actual scientific investigation. (and that article appears to be an interview where the interviewer basically allowed the founder to say whatever he wanted.) The mention of a few disparate organizations that recommend their services is promotional.

I think the company is probably notable, but an acceptable article would need to start over. The article is written by an admitted paid editor. This does not necessarily condemn it, but this particular editor--like almost all of them-- is not among the very few who have learned how to write encyclopedia articles. I am checking their other contributions DGG ( talk ) 17:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC) DGG ( talk ) 17:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DGG, I am looking this over closely along with your other contributions, thanks (I think). Since you are a Cooperation member and you find the company probably notable, I would love it if you could help support my learning to write encyclopedic articles in the process. I don't know why you took the time to write here rather than to stub the article; found your rationale on my talk but a promotional article on a probable notable is not addressed by an AFD. I'd appreciate it if you could give me a moment to review everything you said and work with you on the changes needed. I appreciate the scrutiny but when a lot happens at once it's somewhat overwhelming. Frieda Beamy (talk) 23:07, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or userfy (see below for or move): Anyway, the article was approved by APerson at AFC, and if there is any doubt about notability then I would think it should go back to draftspace to allow time for sources to be found. I made my judgment about notability based on profiles in what appear to be clear RS (Courier Magazine, Discovery News, Mother Earth News, BusinessDay, and other sources that use editorial judgment). You may be judging that the Courier interviewer allowed anything to be said, but that does not make the source unreliable; it means we need to attribute the quote, which I am doing. Some of the other reasons above are not the best either. "Probably notable" and "need to start over" are not AFD reasons. Thanks. Frieda Beamy (talk) 00:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Approval from one person (a person even) does not override community consensus and does not give an article a free pass against notability requirements and the requirement not to read like a Yellow Pages advertisement. Sorry, but the article is horribly promotional, with disingenuous sourcing (basically original research) and others sources that are obviously not independent of the subject. St★lwart111 00:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I take an OR concern seriously and I'm not sure how sourcing itself can be considered OR, so I'd love to make improvements if you can tell me what you mean. Frieda Beamy (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC) I think you meant peak oil and DOT, edited. Frieda Beamy (talk) 02:57, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blow it up and start again. I'm not convinced there are enough independent sources to substantiate a pass against WP:CORPDEPTH. Maybe. But if there are, this really isn't a Wikipedia article. It's basically just an advertisement. Some of the sourcing is just plain dishonest, like the "Yahoo" source which is an article with no author hosted by the company's commercial partner on their website without attribution. This is used as a source to support the claim that "Yahoo! News considered CitizenShipper..." Honestly, it's hard to provide a succinct opinion on the article given how intermeshed the poor and dishonest sourcing is with the possibly okay sourcing. While not relevant to deletion or not (per se) the obvious COI here is a real problem. While declared and honest (perhaps the most honest thing about the article) it has resulted in a style of writing and sourcing that is almost entirely blinkered and self-serving. Many of the articles used as sources balance praise for the company with criticism and attempts to dispel obvious concerns from clients. But none of that makes it into the article in the same way it might if the article was being written by someone independent of the subject. The result is gushing promo-spam that glosses over concerns about private citizens functioning as independent operators in the heavily regulated road transport industry. That's a matter for the author rather than this discussion but it really does need to be resolved. St★lwart111 00:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I forgot to say that when I started this article with my own judgment that CitizenShipper is the subject of multiple significant articles in independent reliable sources (including Yahoo), it was also obvious that the topic Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL is even more notable, as he is connected to a few other projects that have lots of coverage and have passed AFDs, and he is cited as a reliable source himself a couple times. There are a couple volunteer COI accounts connected to the nonprofits who are working on some of these articles, but they have passed muster. I thought that CitizenShipper was independently notable enough to start coverage with it as well. But a good method to address the concerns above, rather than for me to debate about them, is just to move to Richard Obousy and trim CitizenShipper to a section of that (yes, TNT could be part of this). Should I begin editing the article to demonstrate what I mean? (I believe that editing directly to address concerns stated above or at my talk is permitted.) Frieda Beamy (talk) 15:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • General responses: A book that lists CitizenShipper in a table counts as reliable and I'd say not irrelevant but less significant; the other sources I listed above similarly used editorial judgment and were not "based on PR". If founder statements are unencyclopedic, that has been addressed and I asked DGG a related question. Transportation inefficiency has been copied to the right article; we can consider trimming it here. Zero complaints was stated in Courier's voice and should be considered as having passed editorial judgment, although I trimmed this sentence also. I don't know that organizational recommendations are promotional; they might be unencyclopedic, but they indicate interrelationships and are the sort of things WP routinely collates, so I added a tag there. Calling the Yahoo article dishonest sourcing may be right but if so I've been deceived too; I AGF'd about the link being genuine when it was archived by Escrow and also here and so if I need to learn something about Yahoo reliability I can get schooled. I deleted "Yahoo! News considered". I'd be happy to add criticism, client concerns, private citizens vs. regulation where that can be seen; I had read through everything and didn't see anything about regulatory concerns about private citizens connecting to this company, but maybe they can be put in a groupage article. Frieda Beamy (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your intention seems to be to find a solution acceptable to the Wikipedia community and to your commercial client, rather than to simply re-write your article in a way that ensures it's not so promotional that deletion is a viable option. Trust me, the latter would be far easier. As DDG outlined in his nomination, the issue here is not notability. It might be borderline but both of us have acknowledged that the company is probably notable. The problem here is the article. And please don't think I have anything against COI editors; my talk page is littered with edit requests from COI editors with whom I have established a working relationship. I might leave a note in your talk page about the other stuff because the focus here should be this article. To answer some of your questions - no, I don't think you should create Richard Obousy. Moving content there doesn't address the problem, it just shifts the problem elsewhere. He may well be notable too. I think you've had the great fortune (in this instance) to have been hired by a company that's actually notable. The irrelevant side-notes about what the CEO was thinking when he founded the company are still there. The article that serves as a source for his motivation says it related to "crazy gas prices" but somehow that made it into the article as a link to Hubbert peak theory and an unrelated government report. It seems the point was the make the whole thing look far more justified, cutting edge and "big problem/big solution" than just a smart guy with a good idea. Likewise, the section about eBay that talks about "thorough testing protocols" is sourced to an eBay document that doesn't and doesn't mention the subject at all. That entire section is effectively unsourced because the only other source cited is a four-line summary of an article that doesn't exist elsewhere. It's not as if that has since become a deadlink - the article is from 2013 and hasn't been available for a while, which suggests you have access to sources that others don't (an obvious problem when dealing with COI). A total of 8 claims are sourced to an article from Mother Earth News which seems to have been cut-pasted from a press release (in fact the language is very similar to that used by the company's FAQ page). The extensive methodology section is a problem, especially since most of it reads like a press release and is based on quotes from Obousy. Projected cost savings shouldn't be sourced to the company either (and need really strong sourcing to be included at all). The point of WP:TNT is exactly that - to blow it up and start over again because simply editing it here and there won't be enough. St★lwart111 01:09, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • So we all agree on stub or TNT? I can continue working with you by (more) edits to founding motive, proper links if needed at all, eBay, Mother Earth if it resembles the FAQ (I'll look), methodology, and cost savings. Maybe you could make a bold edit so I know what you're looking for, and I'll respond? Thanks. I must bypass your stated perceptions about my intentions, and real-world relationships, and the point of my edits, and source access. Frieda Beamy (talk) 01:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC) Oh, the DOT sources were added at the request of a DYK editor, so I can go either way as you compare notes on that question. Frieda Beamy (talk) 01:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally, I think you should avoid DYK for COI articles. There's no specific requirement to do so but (for me) it crosses the line between writing something to inform editors as a volunteer and promoting a company as a corporate client by writing an article and then getting it on the front page. In my experience, DYK volunteers often struggle with COI for that reason and then find themselves giving all sorts of advice. I saw the note on your talk page about trying to find a singularity in terms of quality between COI and non-COI work. That's admirable but I think you still need to make a distinction, yourself, between those two streams of work and DYK should be one of those distinctions. I'd be okay with stubbing the article if it can be done effectively. I don't think any of the edits so far have been substantial enough (in terms of problem-solving) to substantiate that as a viable solution right now. But I'm certainly open to it. St★lwart111 03:18, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I've now extensively edited the article, cutting back a whole bunch of irrelevant rubbish including unnecessary multiple references to the company name and website. In an article about a company its okay to refer to "the company". Otherwise it just looks like a clumsy attempt at SEO. I've removed some of the sections including a bit about the company offering insurance but not any more. I think we could still stand to lose the "Reviews" section. Testimonials belong on the company's site and those aren't very good ones anyway. Everybody can see right through them - it's not the publications saying those things, its the company owner who has been quoted by the publication. The fact that it appears in the introduction rather than the body of the interview doesn't suddenly make it an "endorsement". Anyway, I think it's probably at the point where deletion is no longer necessary but I'd appreciate DGG's thoughts (and of course yours Frieda Beamy). St★lwart111 04:45, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I feel a little guilty in that my comments drew user:Frieda Beamy here (who I think is trying to do the right thing) for a verbal beating. Though it is this trial by fire that often helps any editor develop. I would be happy to work on this page to bring it into acceptable standards, but only if Frieda is comfortable with it. I imagine a stub might be appropriate here. I think how an idea for a company was conceived is actually a crucial part of an article, but often these stories turn out to be advocacy promoting the concept and its value. CorporateM (Talk) 15:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - having had a proper chance to look over the sources again I think it probably gets over the line. Frieda Beamy seems to have happily accepted edits by others and has readily accepted guidance and advice from both DGG and CorporateM in various forums. We can probably build on what we have there given the new-found sense of camaraderie. St★lwart111 10:24, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on founding stories in general How the idea for an organization was conceived can be relevant comment if it is either based on some evidence other than what the founders said to their press agent, or is widely reported as a matter of history of legend. Otherwise it's a dubious reconstruction or invention or platitude. At it's worst, it amounts to "I think I saw an opportunity to make money" (which is always the case for a commercial company), or "We saw an unmet need in society" for the typical NGO. It's inclusion in an article where there is little other material serves the purpose of providing content when there otherwise would be nothing to report. (I feel similarly about details of funding--funding is a basic part of company history, but the exact details are rarely of general interest, unless the company is famous. Ittoo can often serve the purpose of providing content when there is nothing much else.) Organizations are notable because of what they accomplish. and this is where the emphasis should be. DGG ( talk ) 16:41, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I continue to think the article isstill too promotional. The founders claim of having no complaints at all is so extraordinary that it cannot be included based on his own word to an interviewer, yet it is still there. The nature of the article remains not 'what the company does" but "why the company is good"--such an article is promotional: it's what the company chooses to say about itself. . Readers want to know what it does, and will decide themselves on its merits, It might be acceptable stubbified, but this has not yet been stubbified. The wording has been improved, but not the basic content or orientation. DGG ( talk ) 16:58, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Even the Mother Jones Mother Earth News piece is clearly press-release blather. EEng (talk) 20:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't know why you would not acknowledge Mother Jones Mother Earth News as an RS based on your opinion of one of its articles. And DGG didn't say it should have been deleted, and even if it's spam, that is not a reason to delete. We made good progress so far and have a good agreement that the subject is notable and the issue has moved on to fixing content. I will work with you on content, but the RS say what they say and I wouldn't second-guess their editorial boards. I would like to have time to add some more sources since they're out there but I don't have them assembled right now. Anyone can edit. Frieda Beamy (talk) 23:07, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I said Mother Jones instead of Mother Earth News. Anyway, assuming MEN is indeed a RS (I don't know) even an RS often publishes puff-pieces that are obviously rehashes of press releases, and this is one. Please point to the single strongest source in the article in terms of depth of coverage and independence, and we'll go from there. (so far I'm not seeing anything with either depth or independence.) EEng (talk) 23:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I got it wrong too. Mother Earth isn't cited as often, but almost 200 times here. Why are we suddenly framing the debate on one source? I haven't known you to debate rhetorically and I don't know what good it would do for me to claim I know which is the best source (excluding the self and gov sources).

  • Courier Magazine: industry periodical. Masthead.
  • BusinessDay stuff.co.nz: an official blog from Fairfax Media.
  • Discovery News: mainstream tech news source.
  • Yahoo!: mainstream news source. Possibly a press release, but it passed editorial review.
  • CleanTechnica: eco blog; only used for support.
  • Mother Earth News: mainstream eco news periodical.
  • Malaysia Sun (twice): mainstream regional news periodical. Possibly a press release, but it passed editorial review.
  • Central Lift Maintenance Group: transportation industry blog that reprinted the article also in Malaysia Sun.

I also had the Spanish efficiency text No Somos Hormigas, but that was only a mention in a table so you might not count it toward significance. But each of these made an independent editorial decision to run significant reliable material. Now we don't need to do this dance, where the second player comes back and tells the first why the second thinks each of the above are unreliable. Why don't we skip to the end and decide whether we should stub, seek new sources, userfy, move to Richard Obousy, or work out some other consensus? Frieda Beamy (talk) :50, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Your repeated references like "possibly a press release, but passed editorial review" show you don't understand the concept of notability at all. See WP:GNG: ' "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases...' Point to even one source that doesn't fall afoul of that exclusion. EEng (talk) 02:38, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
All of them. It's not just a press release if independent reliable sources publish it. In a couple cases there is evidence that the editors took responsibility for text that matches an identifiable press release, but the majority of sources independently decided to run stories about the subject on their own responsibility. It's not our job to decide which (if any) were initiated by the subject calling up the source and which were the other way round. Frieda Beamy (talk) 09:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You just don't get it. When a source runs a press release, they do so in the knowledge that readers will recognize it for what it is and not mistake it for hard reporting. You need to learn to make that distinction yourself. An industry magazine giving courtesy exposure to a CEO's puff quotes isn't independent coverage. EEng (talk) 13:57, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The development of the application was ended and the application lost significance (it is not secure to use and users should not note it).

Any sources previously supporting the application cannot support it anymore as the application is not secure to use.

The article is missing a reliable source supporting the application and needs to be removed (see No original research). — Preceding unsigned comment added by User340 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 14 July 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep Notability does not just go away because the product has been discontinued. There have been an enormous amount of reliable sources which have reported on Truecrypt and in depth too, and quite easily meets the General notability guideline. Additionally, I don't want to bring this back onto the nominator, but do you have another account? It's very peculiar for your first edits to be nominating an article for deletion. Tutelary (talk) 17:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The story of how the application was widely used, then suddenly came to be declared insecure, with development apparently disappearing, is significant in itself and widely covered in the tech press. TrueCrypt is likely to persist as a long time as an example of a situation where this has happened, and is therefore likely to continue to be a notable subject, worth covering, for the forseeable future. Jheald (talk) 18:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep. TrueCrypt remains significant because of its historical significance. Should we delete the article on <dead person> because they've died? See WP:N#TEMP.

None of the arguments invalidated the fact that the application is now only an original research without support from reliable sources. It also does not matter whether you think the application is secure -- it was declared not secure to use.

From Wikipedia:Deletion_guidelines_for_administrators: Wikipedia policy requires that articles and information comply with core content policies (verifiability, no original research or synthesis, neutral point of view, copyright, and biographies of living persons) as applicable. These policies are not negotiable, and cannot be superseded by any other guidelines or by editors' consensus. User340 (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have not cited any evidence that the material IS original research. The way to prove that material is not original research is that there are reliable sources. There are an abundance of reliable sources. We don't need any original research to extract material about Truecrypt, the sources do that all by themselves. Notability is not temporary.

The entire content of this article is already included in Blood_pressure#Fetal_blood_pressure, and based on edit history this article was copied from the blood pressure article. I would not favor making this a redirect page because "blood pressure drop across major arteries to capillaries" is not a commonly searched topic.

The result was delete. It seems to me that the WP:SCHOOLSOUTCOMES argument is being pushed to the limit with an article with virtually no content and absolutely no independent sources. There is nothing in the guidelines that this outweighs a lack of notability argument. I have declined also to merge to Panruti. This would have been sensible if the article already had an education section but it doesn't. Such a merge would be massively WP:UNDUE and on the basis of unacceptable refs at that.

    • It's in India. How much do you expect to find on the internet on an Indian school? In my experience, not very much.

Precisely. Precedent is determined by debate. And we've had this one endlessly. I can't remember the last time a secondary school was deleted.

It is not inherently sexist to call a person "hot". Considering she is a model who gains any notability she has from her looks, this is clearly the case.

Thousands, millions of low profile professors including associate, assistant all around the globe have had minor single page publications as co-contributor.

The individual did not even hold any major incumbent in Indian University system. Moreover minor publications and research paper (in this case study of previous author/researcher had be revised by Pradip Kumar Singh and editors as co-contributor) does not make any sense for having separate article on wikipedia. Individual has a COI and it is a true example of self-promotional activity on the stage of Wikipedia. This article is supported by primary source (official website of individual).

  • Delete Yes, Singh has published a few books and some papers, as DGG notes. However, as WP:ACADEMIC says, it is not enough to publish, all academics publish. What is needed is evidence that these publications have been noted, which we usually assess by looking at how often an academic's publications have been cited. Usually, this is very difficult to assess for someone with a common name (like "Singh"). In this case, too, there seem to be multiple "PK Singh" (one of them a microbiologist), but all of them have been cited so little, that even if we just throw all on one heap and count everything, it just is not enough, not even in a low-citation density field like anthropology. If one clicks the Google Scholar link above (under "find sources"), the highest-cited article has 11 hits (and that is one by the microbiologist). The Web of Science (which has a lower coverage in the humanities and social sciences) finds 9 articles, cited a total of 13 times for an h-index of 1 (here, I searched for "PK Singh"). If opne searches for "PK Singh" in GS, one finds some very highly-cited papers, but all by other persons (I went through several pages, down to articles cited about 30 times, none of them by the PK Singh under discussion here). In short, I see no evidence of this person having made a measurable impact on his field, as required by WP:ACADEMIC#1, nor do I see evidence of him passing any of the other criteria. --Randykitty (talk) 18:51, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The greater part of this debate is taken up with a discussion of the correct meaning of the terms "Bahrani" and "Bahraini". AfD is not the best venue for settling such matters. On this the article editors should clarify how the article is using those terms and explicitly state the criteria for inclusion for inclusion in the list in its lede as required by MOS:LIST. Once that is firmly established, the entries can be limited to only those whose article makes a claim to meeting those criteria or otherwise established by RS. If the list ends up empty after that, then is the time to come back to AfD, but not before. I am also moving the title back to List of Bahranis (from where it was recently moved) as this is contrary to MOS:LIST#List naming. SpinningSpark 13:43, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was tagged for proposed deletion per WP:PROD. The reason stated in the prod notice was as follows:

"Article exclusively based on anecdotal evidence and no reliable source explicitly states that the individuals listed (many of whom are ethnic Hasawis and Persians) belong to the Baharna ethnic group. The surname al-Bahrani itself denotes Eastern Arabian descent and one does not necessarily have to be an ethnic Baharna to carry that name. Hence, many Sunni clerics such as al-Abbas ibn Yazid al-Bahrani who did not belong to the Baharna ethnic group went by that name."

Because this is rated as a top-importance list and it has a long editing history (with many potential sources having been deleted), deletion of this article may be controversial. So it is more appropriately handled at AfD, where it is likely to get wider scrutiny. I am personally neutral at this time. Arxiloxos (talk) 15:54, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. We should undoubtedly have a list of [notable] people from Bahrain, as a complement to Category:Bahrani people, just as we should any nationality. And we also list notable people by ethnicity. To the extent there isn't a perfect overlap there, how those different groupings are resolved (whether in one list or in separate ones) is a matter for ordinary editing and discussion to resolve. The present lack of sources in the list is not relevant to whether it should be kept or whether the listed individuals' status as people of Bahrain or of Bahrani descent is verifiable (obviously some such notable people have existed). This should of course be renamed to List of Bahranis to remove the self-referential, MOS noncompliant, and unnecessary use of "notable" in the title (i.e., we don't need to include "notable" in the title to nevertheless limit the list to only notable individuals). postdlf (talk) 01:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Most, if not all, of the individuals listed are of Hasawi (e.g, Nabeel Rajab, Abdulhadi Alkhwaja), Persian (Abbas Almohri), or Qatifi descent. None of the people listed's Bahrani descent is verifiable by any means. AsimAlsadeh (talk) 08:07, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • So your claim is really that there are incorrect entries. That's a matter for cleanup, not deletion. But just to take the first example you listed, Nabeel Rajab is identified in his article (FWIW) as having been born in Bahrain and still living there, and his whole history and notable activities are tied to Bahrain. So that certainly qualifies him for inclusion in a list of people of Bahrain as that's clearly his nationality. You seem instead exclusively focused on ethnicity, though I'd also note that Rajab's article does not mention anything about Hasawi or Qatifi heritage (nor do we even have articles on those groups, which makes me wonder about what's going on here). Regardless, as I stated above, to what extent this list should target nationality or ethnicity (or both) is a matter for ordinary editing and discussion to decide, and not our concern here. postdlf (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Problem is that no reliable source states that most of the individuals listed are even of Eastern Arabian descent (Bahrani nationality). Well actually, NO source does, whether reliable or unreliable. Also, this article focuses on those belonging to the Baharna ethnic group, not people of Bahrani nationality. AsimAlsadeh (talk) 22:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The vast majority of entries are verifiably people of the country of Bahrain, so WP:TNT is not a useful approach here; in other words, this list could more easily be edited into a list focused exclusively on nationality than to delete this and restart from scratch. Beyond that, unless you don't know what nationality means, I don't think you mean to claim that whether someone is of Bahrani nationality is never verifiable, which would just be absurd. Bahrain is a real country, not some made-up micronation or disputed territory without official recognition. postdlf (talk) 23:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • A Bahrani (the modern sense which translates one who belongs to the Eastern Arabian Baharna ethnic group) is different from a Bahraini (a person from Bahrain). Yes, it is next to impossible to verify if someone is a Bahrani or not because such claims have never been put forward in books or any other reliable sources mostly because these claims have always been passed down generation to generation orally and they still do to this day and never have been put forward in texts. Go ahead and try finding a source (whether reliable or unreliable) to prove me otherwise.

Oh and sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but it was pretty stupid for you to assume that the demonym of a person originating from Bahrain is Bahrani without doing any research beforehand. AsimAlsadeh (talk) 20:33, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bahraini people redirects to Bahrani people, and List of Bahrainis redirects to List of notable Bahranis, which tells me that Wikipedia editors understand that either spelling is used when transliterating from the Arabic. And reliable sources clearly use the spelling "Bahraini" when referring to the ethnicity as well as the nationality.[38] So the lack or presence of an "i" in the term in English doesn't distinguish either way. Accordingly, every comment I have made in this unnecessarily interminable discussion has dealt with and distinguished between ethnic and national meanings. postdlf (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That source refers to ethnic Bahrainis (Sunni Arabs, Persians, Bahrani, etc). Moreover, the terms Bahrani بحراني and Bahraini بحريني are two different words and do not have the same meaning which is why they are transliterated differently. Also, redirecting those pages to impertinent articles about the Baharna was not appropriate.AsimAlsadeh (talk) 22:21, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your comments (such as calling the articles "impertinent") are increasingly making me question your motives regrding this topic. What's your interest or investment in who is identified as Bahraini or Bahrani? postdlf (talk) 23:58, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Upon request by AsimAlsadeh, I'm here to clarify the difference between Bahraini and Bahrani.
  • Short answer: Bahraini (plural: Bahrainis) is the nationality in modern use (post 1960s-70s). The second, Bahrani (plural: Baharna/Bahranis) is the one used to refer to the ethnic/sectarian (Shia) group - Sometimes any Shia who originates from the Gulf region is referred to as Bahrani.
  • Long answer: The confusion is present in Arabic language as well. The reason for this is (original research - can't be bothered to search for sources) that Bahrani was the old term used for Bahrain nationals (until 1950s?). Sunnis (who by modern day are never referred to as Bahrani) in 1923 used the word Bahrani to refer to the National Congress they formed to oppose British intervention. Bahrani is arguably the correct Arabic word to use for people who are from Bahrain (regardless if Bahrain is the current small island or the large space of Eastern Arabia + I remember reading from some Lebanese and Egyptian media outlets using the term in recent years to refer to all Bahrainis, but this is rare). I wouldn't say that Rajab family or Sayyids aren't Baharna, because they self-describe themselves as such, and the word doesn't really refer to a single ethnicity; Bahrana are ethnically diverse and their strongest tie appears to be their sect and dialect of Arabic (they of course would always state that they are the original people of Bahrain who belong to ibn Qais, Tamim and Rabia tribes, but would almost always forget that the Sayyids can never belong to these tribes since they trace their ancestry to Muhammed - yet Sayyids self-identify as Baharna). In addition, many British documents written in 1900-1920s which I went through use Shia and Baharna interchangeably, and certainly referred to bin Rajab as Baharna.
  • This is an interesting research in Arabic about how the word Bahrani developed over time (it can be summarized in follows: Bahrani was used to anyone from Eastern Arabia, then it was only used to refer to the ethnic/sectarian group in Bahrain, then it was used to refer to all Bahrainis and finally it was again used to refer to the ethnic/sectarian group).

  • Comment: There is a Category:Kosher food certification organizations (18 such agencies are already listed in it) for these type of organizations, but what is lacking is a main article for this subject! So while this particular organization may not be that notable, however as even the nominator admits when he states that "there are more than a thousand" such organizations which means that while individually they may not all be worthy of WP articles, however, collectively they amount to a very important sector of Jewish religious life that not just Orthodox Jews rely upon but even many of the less religious who have a cultural and bond to observing some level of "kosher" as well as in many instances when Muslims cannot get access to Halaal foods they will turn to find food that is certified by a reliable Jewish kashrut agency such as the one in this article, see Kashrut#Supervision and marketing. These kashrut supervisory agencies that are run and manned by knowledgeable rabbis and mashgichim ("supervisors") after suitable inspections that meet with sufficient requirements of Jewish law then issue a hechsher ("certificate" or "authorization") that food products are reliably "kosher". Therefore it would seem correct that WP should have an article devoted to Kosher food certification organizations that can then have sub-sections for some lesser-well-known agencies perhaps. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 10:34, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, after cutting down to a few sentences, and Redirect to Kosher certification organizations, making it general enough because such agencies do not only supervise food alone. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 10:34, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree that every certification, even if not individually notable, should be merged to/mentioned in its "parent article". (Incidentally, the primary subject, which, as your wrote, is clearly notable, already has an article: Hechsher, which you linked to. How are the certifying organizations distinct from the actual certifications? Kosher certification organizations and the like should redirect to Hechsher.)
    Redirecting does not seem advisable either. Non-notable soda manufacturers do not redirect to List of soft drink producers, do they?
    Finally, in this case I could not find any verifiable information about this kashrut agency at all (this is typical of smaller hechsherim), so there is no cause to merge or redirect whatsoever.
    הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 21:33, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hasirpad: Thank you for your input, but I beg to disagree with you, for some of the following reasons:

  1. You are now introducing an "apples and oranges" argument because, as you well know, the role of a kosher supervision agency is part and parcel of Jewish religious life, especially in these modern times when housewives do not kasher their own chickens etc or when people rely on a kashrut agency to guaranty the kashrut of tzitzis (people don't twine their own anymore), Sukkos (for s'chach), clothes (for shatnez), and now even for smart phones and devices (to monitor hookups to the Internet) etc with many more like this!
  2. Additionally you admit that "there are more than a thousand" such kashrut agencies that merely explaining what a "Hechsher" is does not help.
  3. To give an analogy that you may appreciate, just because there is an article about Medicine does not mean there cannot be an article about Physicians and just because there is an article about Physicians does not mean there cannot be articles about sub-specialties such as Surgeons or Psychiatrists etc.
  4. Thus, while the notion of Hechsher is at the core of "hashgacha" but related to that is the role of Organizations and Agencies and religious bodies, including the business aspect of running such modern-day complex institutions that require and involve expertise in and of a cross between Jewish law, qualifications and educational background of rabbis and their Orthodox Judaism affiliations, knowledge of business, food manufacturing, food distribution, advertising, and many other such aspects that all kashrut supervision organizations have to know and deal with, be they large or small, so that an article about Kosher certification organizations on this subject is not just important but long overdue.

Don't believe that this list is relevant - why would you need to know this information by year? This is an orphan and it seems as that it was only compiled for 1yr, making it more irrelevant Gbawden (talk) 14:04, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. You raise a few points, so I'll answer them one at a time:
    1. "Don't believe that this list is relevant"
      I'm sorry you feel that way; I feel differently. It would help if you could be more specific.
    2. "Why would you need to know this information by year"
      I thought it would be academically helpful to see the structure of the organisation, and the key people within it, each year. It's currently very difficult to find out who was in what post in a particular year. For example, if you want to find out who was Flag Officer Portsmouth in 1953, how can you do so without an article like this? cf. List of sovereign states in the 10th century BC, List of solar eclipses in the 14th century, List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, 2013 and of course Category:Lists by century for examples!
    3. "This is an orphan"
      It needn't be, but "building the web" is something I haven't done yet with this article. I can add some links in if that would solve your concerns.
    4. "it was only compiled for 1yr"
      I am planning to write a full list for each year, but it'll have to wait until after Wikimania before I have time. Besides, Wikipedia is a work in progress; "that an article is one of an incomplete series" isn't a reason to delete this article, but is instead a reason to write new ones.
I don't think your reasons for deletion are particularly strong but I stand ready to be corrected :-) Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (Message me) 15:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per nom. This directory seems to be an excessively and unencylopedically detailed breakdown, unless our goal is to list a bunch of non-notable people. If breaking it down by year, why not month or day, since someone might have retired partway through the year? This type of listing does not serve any purpose I can see, and seems to run afoul of Wikipedia is not a directory. Edison (talk) 19:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've been pondering this AfD since I saw it posted, and having now reviewed WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I am convinced that this list of Royal Navy brass from 1983 is not notable and not suitable for a stand-alone article on Wikipedia. That having been said, if this article were for 1982, and not 1983, and written as a supporting sub-article for a larger parent article on the Falklands War, or for 1940 and written as a supporting sub-article for a larger parent article about the Royal Navy's role in World War II, I reserve the right to express an opposite opinion. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 07:05, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Strong Keep I am baffled at this AfD, honestly. All of these people are notable in terms of the WP:GNG, and as a 1983 version of the RN's structure, it's a notable as Royal Navy#Command, control, and organisation (though it has a little less text because we haven't done the research yet). How can one build User:Dirtlawyer's history of the RN since 1945 if one deletes the supporting articles? Yes we don't have the same articles for 1982, or 1956, or the time of the withdrawal from Aden, or Confrontation in 1965-66 etc - because we haven't got around to writing them, but one can't tell the RN's story if one deletes the key personnel? On this argument, one should delete the senior officers' listing for 2014 as soon as 2015 rolls around!! This is the basis for detailed histories, because we can research these officers' names and compile the data from them!! These are crazy nominations!! Buckshot06 (talk) 01:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah, but there's the rub, Buckshot. Most of the years since 1945 are not historically significant in terms of who the Royal Navy's leadership was . . . In the last 80 years, the RN leadership is historically significant in 1939–45, 1956, 1982, 1991–92, 2002–03 . . . and? As far as I can tell, the 1983 RN leadership is not one of the more significant years. The nautical mileage in your wake may vary. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:46, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • We disagree over the definition of 'historically significant'. It's *all* historically significant, if you're focusing on the RN as an institution worthy of recording in itself. Now I don't think that we should have a list for every year, but about every five years would work. Thus what this nom proposes doing is destroying such a basis for detailed research before it has gotten started! Buckshot06 (talk) 04:12, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see the need for this article - most of the information is already at 2007 Formula One season#Season calendar.

I suggest deletion rather than redirecting Gbawden (talk) 13:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Firstly it is not a list of Formula One races. Pay attention and re-read.
  • Secondly - no it should not be redirected because as a collection of disparate races there is no one redirect target that is appropriate.
  • Thirdly - the concept of national grand prix as a concept is not well established and probably fails Notability. However you "Don't see the need for this article" is not a valid reason for deletion. When you have a valid reason for deleting it, re-list and I will support. Yes I am the originating author, but I will not lose sleep over its deletion. However I do not want WP:IDONTLIKEIT established as a valid reason to delete articles.

  • Comment Listing a selection of events that all happen to be called "grand prix" doesn't seem to match Wikipedia policies about lists or disambiguation pages. Why not include other types of grand prix, e.g. British Grand Prix (athletics)? Or other 2007 races that aren't called Grand Prix if the subject is "not well established and probably fails Notability"? But there is the possibility that it could be improved: it could be moved to a more descriptive title like 2007 in motor sports if there isn't already a similar article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:53, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Reply The intent was to specify those Grand Prix named for their nation - thus excluding events like the European Grand Prix or the Detriot Grand Prix and including non-Formula One races like the New Zealand Grand Prix and the Danish Grand Prix. But as I said, the nominating editor has not provided a reason for the article to be deleted. --Falcadore (talk) 10:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Japanese word of "providence." This disambiguation page lists it as the nickname or first name of two Japanese people, neither of which has a biographical article, and an alternative name (used in Japan) for a minor religious sect. I don't think this really meets the standards for a disambiguation page under WP:Disambiguation. Kitfoxxe (talk) 11:30, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect The first page linked to doesn't even contain this word. Setsuri seems to mostly refer to the cult, it should redirect there. The artist himself doesn't seem to have warranted a page but a disambiguation note can be inserted if/when he does. SPACKlick (talk) 11:59, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It is better now. I'm not sure if it meets the standards for a disambig page or not now. If an article were to be started on the manga artist it would be a clear keep for me. Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:33, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I don't think any evidence has been put forward that 'Setsuri' is more likely to apply to the religion (for an English language reader) than for the river (which seems to retain the name 'Setsuri' when in English. As there is no evidence of a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, under WP:2DABS: If neither of the two meanings is primary, then a normal disambiguation page is used at the base name. Boleyn (talk) 07:29, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On absolutely trivial evidence, first page of a google search is;
Wiki, 5x Artist, Religion, 4x(unrelated), Religion, 3x(unrelated), 2xArtist, Cult, 2x(unrelated), Religion, (unrelated), 2xArtist, Religion, River, Religion, 7x(unrelated), Religion, 4x(unrelated), Artist.
Which makes a good case for the river being barely referred although the unrelated results make me think Setsuri might be a region rather than just a river. Searches for Setsuri River and Setsuri Religion return similar numbers. I'm ok with the Disamb as it is. SPACKlick (talk) 11:31, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I suspect that Ghits are likely to under-represent the notability of a river as compared to a cult, so there is no reliable evidence of either being the primary topic.

Article seems to have originated as a largely genealogical entry by a single purpose editor. The claim to notability is an entry in the 1952 "Who's who", which appears to be based on a single scholarship award. The remainder of the article is unsourced or original research. According to a recent edit there is no known compilations of his work, other than a private record. In my view this all falls well below the sort of credible notability threshold for a Wikipedia profile. Sionk (talk) 09:50, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The cited 1952 "Who's Who" is an edition of "Who's Who in Art", which as far as I'm aware is not the same as Who's Who (UK). There are many variants of Who's Who, and "Who's Who in Art" may be a vanity publication. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 10:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article makes no assertion as to the notability of this book, and an Internet search does not indicate any awards or unusual recognition. I can't find any indication that it has received the level of attention necessary to make it stand out from any other children's book. Notability can't be inherited from the author or from the illustrator-- the book has to stand on its own, and as near as I can tell, it does not do this. KDS4444Talk 04:23, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It took some serious, serious digging to find a lot of these sources, but I've found enough to show that the book passes notability guidelines. It's listed as a recommended/summer read for a lot of classrooms ([46], [47], [48], [49], [50]) and I've found some coverage for the animated special. There's a stage production as well, but I'm not entirely going to count that towards notability since all I can find is a routine notification. I included that in the article, but really just as a small trivial detail than anything else. It seems to get mentioned quite frequently in various "you should read this during the holidays" articles and given a mini review. There's also a Publishers Weekly review, but I'm trying to find a better link to it than the one I have. That it was mentioned in a 2013 NYPL panel on dolls in literature says a lot for its notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:19, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Each drug has value for specific patients, so even if these drugs are older, the company is still "noteable." What's "noteable" is in the eye of the beholder. I follow this company because of the drugs for severely disabled patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy that they are in the process of bringing forward. There are no meds now for these patients so the fact that they are developing one does indeed make them "noteable." This would be a huge breakthrough for these patients. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpartanSister (talk • contribs) 22:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC) — SpartanSister (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Question for both of you @Doncram:, @VMS Mosaic: Which sources in the article did you consider to be independent third party sources AND about this company? Of the 12 references provided I identified only one, and it's an interview with the CEO so only partially independent. My analysis was that the other 11 references are either self-referential or they don't mention Marathon. --MelanieN (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I am not going to do all the work that could be done on sorting out and documenting what new drugs Marathon is responsible for, and finding coverage about those drugs, and on sorting out which older drugs Marathon might merely be manufacturing without any new innovation. I have replied to assertions of contradictions in the record, below, and am done for now. I stand with belief that this firm is notable in fact, and is shown already to be notable in the article. --doncram 19:24, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am still working on this, but I have found significant contradictions in the record about this company. The article says the company was founded in 2010 by Jeffrey Aronin. But the company's own website says "Over the past 12 years, our team has brought 30 medications to market in 87 countries."[51] This implies that the company was founded in 2002, not 2010. This news release talks about Marathon Pharmaceuticals being acquired by Cambrex in 2001. Will continue to investigate but I have serious problems with keeping an article that seems to contradict itself, or at the very least contain to significant unverified information. --MelanieN (talk) 17:55, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Further: "2010" isn't a typo, it's from this interview with Aronin.[52] Completely contradicted by the company's own website. --MelanieN (talk) 18:31, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the "founded in 2010 by Aronin" assertions from the article, as they are not supported from that interview or anywhere else AFAIK. It appears to be careless previous editing that created that incorrect conflation. --doncram 18:51, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And one more contradiction asserted is not one. In "the company's own website" assertion quoted above, it is NOT stated that Marathon was founded in 2002. It states that during 2002 to 2014, members of its current leadership team successfully brought 30 medications to market, e.g. Aronin doing that within other entities counts. This is highly relevant information for a startup company's business plan/website to report. --doncram 19:24, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ec, twice) Good catch of some possible contradictions to explain. But, hmm, the Suntimes interview does not state that he founded Marathon then; he is mentioned as founder of Paragon. However, while there may be some editing required, and some untangling of corporate relationships, methinks that calls for editing, not deleting. This Suntimes article cited in the article states that Aronin founded Ovation in 2002 and sold it in 2009, then a year later (2010?) founded Paragon Pharmaceouticals. Paragon subsequently acquired startups including Marathon. So, Marathon could have existed in startup for longer, with or without Aronin involved. It seems likely to me that Aronin did not found Marathon, but rather acquired/invested in it in 2010. Does this work: Marathon could have been started pre-2001, been acquired by Cambrex in 2001, been acquired/invested into by Aronin in 2010. And it is definitely possible that the current Marathon Pharmaceutical LLC legal entity had previous legal entities broadly called Marathon Pharmaceuticals (e.g. but not being an LLC). This seems more likely to me than there having existed two completely unrelated Marathon Pharmaceutical entities, but that is also possible. --doncram 18:42, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Leaving aside the verifiability problems I cited above, I just don't find the coverage necessary to meet WP:CORP. The references cited in the article are mostly self-referential or are not about Marathon. The only significant independent reference is an interview with Jeffrey Aronin that mentions Marathon. I could find nothing more in a search. --MelanieN (talk) 18:35, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This has been edited since the initial AfD, and has more secondary sources to prove notability. Frmorrison (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The Chicago Sun-Times article is the only source that clearly meets WP:CORP, assuming that the FDA is a primary source rather than a secondary source. However, a few minutes' research suggests that there are further press articles mentioning Marathon that would further help meet the threshold. P.S. Aronin's multiple pharma business ventures seem to confuse the facts in the discussion above.
Weak keep I'm pretty sure the USFDA is a reliable source, and for sure the Chicago Sun-Times is, but I am not sure if StreetInsider or Fierce Biotech are or not, but based on the fact that there are at least two reliable sources in the article, that is enough in my book to pass WP:GNG and WP:V.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 15:28, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I am enclosing numerous references.I am new to article writing and new to Wikipedia. From what I gather, the article Mariangeli Collado is under discussion for deletion. I also gather that the reason may be that there are not enough sources of reference for the article to be valid. I am enclosing a few of the references that I found on the Web and I ask for help on how to defend the issue of the validity of the article.

The result was... Group nominations are only really appropriate when all members are clearly in the same category of notability, and I'm uncomfortable with a seven item nomination where one of the items was very clearly notable. The nominator should feel free to renominate individual articles they believe warrant deletion, but I don't believe that the six remaining articles in this nom will receive enough analysis to justify any result by the end of the discussion, so I'm closing it early. It is also worth keeping in mind that AfD is not the ideal forum for merge discussions (which is what most contributing editors have suggested so far.)

Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Beverly

Temporary military facility that existed at Beverly Municipal Airport for three years during World War II. So far, one source that covers the subject in detail has been provided, therefore it fails the WP:GNG requirement of significant coverage in reliable sources.

I am also nominating the following related pages because like Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Beverly, they were temporary military facilities at existing civilian airports that are only cited by one source and do not appear to have received significant coverage in any other source.:

Martha's Vineyard Naval Auxiliary Air Station
Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Hyannis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

--Hirolovesswords (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep All of these facilities are notable and have coverage out there. We have an entire page dedicated to Outlying Landing Fields, most of which are modern facilities. There is a distinct lack of coverage for these facilities is that they closed almost seventy years ago, so I highly doubt there are digitized newspaper records for many of these things (although the Martha's Vineyard one has an entire chapter in a book dedicated to it). That being said, a cursory search for any of these facilities will have mentions in other sources. They aren't in-depth, but we are working with online sources for things that closed many decades before the internet started. I have written multiple military facility articles with less coverage than this (literally a sentence in some cases in some obscure book), but to say that an established military facility has supposedly no coverage for something just shows that virtually no research has been done. Also, Martha's Vineyard also did not exist before it was created as a Naval facility, so that directly contradicts the nominator's statement. Finally, just because I am lazy and don't feel like digging up the sources, does not mean that there is only one reputable source out there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Merge relevant cited information into applicable articles. There does not seem to be enough for these auxiliary military facilities to be stand alone articles. However, their content could make an appropriate section on the history of these airfields as they are today. EricSerge (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge I agree with EricSerge, these articles should be merged as history sections (or additions to existing history sections) of the related airports. Abroham1024 (talk) 16:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as per EricSerge and Abroham1024. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I have added a sentence to the Hyannis one and greatly expanded the Nantucket page. Granted, I am almost sure that the NAAF's will have an Army report on cleanup of the base, although I haven't looked yet at this time since I have other things to do. That being said, the Nantucket facility should be removed from this last as well, as a merger would overwhelm balance on that article. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The source for the Nantucket page is a primary source, which does nothing to demonstrate notability. Neither does the self-published source used for the Hyannis page. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 01:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. See in particular: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Entertainers.

  • Weak delete. Looking through references, didn't find much, although I included a reference to a photo of her in Glamour magazine. It is possible there are more sources and that I simply didn't look long enough? To meet the GNG, we need several in-depth independent sources focusing on her, and I looked through 10 SERP pages, didn't find that, but may change my vote if new evidence is presented, so please present them. However, about the fan base, consider pageviews in the hundreds each day, although that could be related to her brother Tom's pageviews in the thousands each day. I realize pageviews is an unofficial measure but it can indicate things; my experience is subjects with substantial pageviews tend to be notable.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes WP:GNG. –Davey2010 • (talk) 01:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete I don't think she quite meets WP:ACTOR through not having enough major roles in notable/widely reviewed works. As far as I can see, she's originated a role in one fringe theatre production (Precious Little Talent) and done some revivals and non-notable plays, but none of her TV roles are major. That leaves WP:GNG which again she doesn't quite meet independently, though her brother has helped her get some press. Could redirect/selective merge to the article on her brother Tom Hiddleston. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:17, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete I don't think she meets WP:ACTOR through her work. The standards are pretty clear, and I don't see how she meets them. I think to meet the standard for WP:GNG there has to be much more support through secondary sources, In other words, articles or interviews that show how she is notable. I did some googling, but I don't see anything about her individually, only articles about and interviews with her brother where he mentions in passing that he has a sister named Emma. I'd have to see some evidence of notability that is completely hers to say keep. Expiredramen (talk) 20:32, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The title is perhaps a little misleading. When clicking on the listed official web site, this appears to be associated to Miss Asia Pacific World, or at least the company running. That website calls this Miss Asia Pacific World Super Talent Search in its about page, and goes on to lay claim to "Miss Asia Pacific International" as a brand. Miss Asia Pacific International apparently went defunct with the cancellation of their 2008 pageant. Perhaps the brand was bought out by the Pacific World group.

Article is about a non-notable planned building that was never built to completion and that never did anything: a dead project that amounted to nothing. The mention-in-passing of a chimney is not worthy of encyclopaedic entry and, in any case, is not even of record height. It would not be included in the Guinness Book of Records. — O'Dea (talk) 19:39, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - the fact that it was planned but never completed doesn't mean its not notable. Likewise, the fact that what was built wouldn't qualify for the Guinness Book of Records also doesn't mean its not notable. Like everything else, the question of notability comes down to whether or not we have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. In this case, there's coverage not only of the white elephant that exists today but of other proposals (like that for a nuclear power station) on the same site. One imagines there would be quite a bit of off-line coverage in newspapers from the 1970s. That said, most of what I could find was local coverage (likely because anyone from outside the area long ago stopped caring about it enough to cover it). The result is that most modern online coverage is from a handful of local papers. St★lwart111 00:48, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe it needs to be pointed out that no nuclear power station exists there, so you are talking about something that does not exist. And coverage in the past was of something that was going to be a working entity, but it never amounted to that. Intentions don't cut it. — O'Dea (talk) 07:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Plenty of planned projects are covered on Wikipedia. Again, the fact that it was planned but never completed doesn't automatically qualify it for deletion. Coverage of planned nuclear power stations would still be coverage. Intentions can cut it and are often notable - the Planned French invasion of Britain (1759), the Staten Island Tunnel, and the Irish Sea fixed crossing. Note: I still think this should be deleted, I just don't think it should be deleted because it wasn't finished. Plenty of things that don't exist are notable. St★lwart111 08:49, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As mentioned above, the fact that it was not fully built does not mean it was not notable. Furthermore it still exists today. This article can be included in my (weak) attempt to create more robust entry on all Wikipedia articles listed in {{Fossil fuel power ON}}. This article in particular was not listed in a previous version, but it has now been added. I would only support deleting it if it and other articles could be included in a list; but that would be a future scenario, so I would keep it for now, it is a legitimate enough stub. --Natural RX 20:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not sustained, that is the reason we are here at AfD. I would be happy to withdraw my nomination if sources are forthcoming. However, on an admittedly cursory search, I found many articles written by Stoddard and a number of interviews conducted by Stoddard, but next to nothing about Stoddard herself - only vapid puff pieces by people with an interest in promoting her. Seth Kellerman (talk) 17:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Biographical pieces about Stoddard would be nice but they are somewhat arbitrary. For someone who does creative work for a living (political pundit, journalist, producer), significant is if their work is notable. Per WP:CREATIVE that is if others have written about Stoddard's works. Here are some recent examples:
I don't think these are quality sources and I can't find much better. I'll change vote if there are better sources about Stoddard or her work. -- GreenC 00:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it's a common fallacy that any appearance in media counts as a reliable source, but in this case while Stoddard seems to have contributed to a number of major and reliable news sources, they're not a big enough player that anyone independent has actually written about them.

List of creatures in Primeval

AfDs for this article:
List of creatures in Primeval (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 does not establish notability independent of Primeval through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. This differs from something like a character list in that it is mostly a Villain of the week listing, taking minute details belonging on the episode list and placing them here only for the sake of in-depth plot regurgitation. For the grand majority of them, simply linking to the dinosaur article would suffice in the first place. There is also the issue that much of the information is original research detailing the real creatures rather than the fictional versions. TTN (talk) 00:05, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The concept of Primeval was driven by the success of Walking with Dinosaurs and, while the human stars are important, the real stars of the series are the dinosaurs. There are simply too many to include in the the main article so this article was created. The article doesn't just cover the creatures from Primeval, it also includes creatures from its spinoff, Primeval: New World. As 202.81.248.238 has alluded to, nothing has changed since the article was kept at two previous AfDs. The content can't be merged back to the main series article as it would bloat that article significantly, even if any non-encyclopaedic content was removed. The nominator is incorrect in stating that "most of the information is made up of plot details". In fact, much of the article consists of descriptions of the real creature and comparisons between the real and fictional versions of each creature, with some plot information naturally included. It should also be noted that more than 50% of citations used in the article are secondary sources. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is obviously an appendix to the main article about the show so there's a clear alternative to deletion — merger back into that article. There's more real world information in this case than you get in most such fictional lists because these creatures were, for the most part, real at one time and we have articles about them. Compare daleks, ewoks, klingons, &c. The general notability of this sort of material may be seen in sources such as Dinosaurs in Fantastic Fiction. Andrew (talk) 05:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This article is 125 KB. The program article is 52 KB. A merged article would be well overweight. 202.81.248.238 (talk) 12:19, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If it were to be merged, it could easily be cut down to less than 20kb, so that isn't an issue. Just getting rid of the infoboxes and episode play-by-plays, which don't belong in even a regular character list, would probably bring it down by half in the first place. TTN (talk) 16:33, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So you aren't really talking about merging, but deleting in two steps. 202.81.249.176 (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. The infobox was recently at TfD and nobody could credibly explain why the infobox content should be removed and, obviously, the infobox survived TfD. In order to cut the content down to 20kB, you'd have to eliminate virtually everything, leaving only a list of the creatures, without any encyclopaedic content. That isn't making a better encyclopaedia. I really doubt that you could cut this article down to anything small enough so that, immediately after merging you wouldn't have to consider splitting the article again. I note that you were the nominator at the first AfD and I think that if you could cut the article down to 20kB you would have done so in the past 6.5 years. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:07, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's quite easy to gut a crufty character list. I just don't see the point when I think it should be outright removed in the first place. The infoboxes are pure cruft, and you won't find any in a proper character list. Rather than there being no argument to remove them, I don't think there could be a solid argument to include them in the first place. For these entries, they are mostly plot information, which should be removed except the most relevant details like a brief description as to their introduction to the story and any extremely large impact they may have on it. Then there is stuff like the Dodo section which is mostly original research taken from unrelated sources for some reason. The entire point of a character list in the first place is to provide a brief summary to act as a reference when the subjects are mentioned elsewhere, rather than the bloated mess that makes up this one. The least important ones should have no more than a few sentences on a bulleted "others" list, while even the most important, the Future Predator, looks as if it could maybe take a paragraph at most. If this has to survive for a third time, even though it is no different than the hundreds of other lists that have been deleted, I'm definitely planning on doing at least that much. TTN (talk) 17:53, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I've earlier indicated, the article consists mainly of descriptions of the real creatures with comparisons between the real and fictional creatures. This is not cruft, it's encyclopaedic treatment of fiction. There are some plot points but this is normal in such lists, as it provides context. This is not cruft either. For the most part, the article doesn't go overboard on this; in fact some sections don't include any plot information. There are some sections that could be trimmed, such as the sections titled "Coelurosauravus" and "Future Predator" - Both of these were very significant in the series, which is why they are larger than the rest. Some of the infobox content such as "Humans killed" and "Returned to ear" is a bit crufty but claiming "the infoboxes are pure cruft" is very wrong. Some of the creatures appeared only in primevnal, others appeared only in the spinoff and others appeared in the books. The infoboxes provide a quick indication of when and where the creatures appeared. The alternative is to have 3 overlapping articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ignoring that many of those comparisons are original research besides the few sourced to the series creators, how is any of that important? As I noted down below, this is a common occurrence in fiction. Noting every single instance is pointless. There is the encyclopedic treatment of fiction, but there has to be a limit. For most series, that is a list of actual characters, while those of plot elements like these are usually cast away for Wikia to catch. As for proper character list formatting, they are not meant to show every detail of a character. It is supposed to be a succinct summary of their most important aspects, so most of the info in the article needs to be cut just to follow that, ignoring the idea of cruft. Infoboxes should not be in character lists at all. That's just how they work in general, and all of the pertinent info can easily be told in the first sentence. If sorting them is important, it would be easy enough just to put them into different subsections. TTN (talk) 19:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The comparisons are not OR. They're based on observations of the creatures as shown in each episodes. Episodes are acceptable primary sources and any reader can simply refer to the episodes and arrive at the same conclusions. There is no reason why infoboxes cannot be used in the article; this was discussed at the TfD. They are used to summarise pertinent points about the creatures instead of including additional, repetitive prose in each section which would only serve to bloat the article further. As for sorting, I don't see that is an issue. The content is already sorted into separate subsections. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:00, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I was in the last AFD, and I don't see as how anything has changed. The series is notable for its creatures, that is what its all about. Some of the first ones on the list are just real life dinosaurs, but then it gets into many fictional characters not found anywhere else. All notable series have character lists and creature/monster list if there is enough content to fill them. A perfectly legitimate fork. Dream Focus 10:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That doesn't really mean much. There are thousands of series where such things play a vital role in them, but this is one of the few lists of them still left over. Lists of weapons, lists of locations, lists of factions, lists of powers, and such have all been pruned over the years, mostly only leaving those that have been abandoned and those from really large franchises. For the most part, they have been migrated to Wikia where they belong. You can say that the series is about the creatures, but changing the links on the episode list to the real creatures and just providing brief descriptions for the original creatures would hardly change the average user's experience. At most, the "Future Predator" species could use an entry on the character list, while everything else original like "giant worms" and "killer birds and beetles" are pretty self-descriptive. As with any other briefly summarized plot element, the reader can find more in-depth information elsewhere. TTN (talk) 16:33, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In most cases the creatures are fictionalised versions of the real creatures, so links to the real creatures aren't appropriate. There needs to be some comparison, which the article provides. An encyclopaedia is not a bunch of misleading links. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:10, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Such details are largely inconsequential for the most part. I don't think the average person will really care that a giant centipede was actually slightly smaller and an herbivore in real life. It's no different than wolves being portrayed as more viscous than in life or other animals being slightly changed for plot convenience, which would not require separate character entries to clear up any misunderstandings in any other series. Such detail is better left to a Wikia article that could point out every single minor detail that was changed. Basically, this is an overly in-depth analysis hardly relevant to anything but a fan interested in the minutia of the series, as would someone looking up specific weaponry in a video game. TTN (talk) 17:53, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The creatures are the main point of the show, not peripheral details. Appealing to the "average person"s interests is absurd, you could delete 95% of Wikipedia if that was your criterion. The person who looks up the detail of a creature he sees on the show wants to know things like how real it is, and its significance in the show. And if they don't find that, some will will do research of their own and start to insert it in random places in the main article. The list article began as a distillation of creature information from the main article and several separate articles about the creatures and sections inserted in articles about the real creatures. Having a article about the fictional appearances of the creatures gives it all a clear context instead of it turning up in "In popular culture" bits in articles about real dinosaurs. 202.81.249.176 (talk) 02:11, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's misleading to readers to point them to an article that doesn't represent the creature portrayed in the series, given that there was some serious artistic license taken with the creatures. Readers should be directed to an article that describes the creatures as portrayed. The beauty of this article is that it does take the time to point out, where necessary, how the fictionalised creature differs to the real one. --AussieLegend (✉) 18:52, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are tons of series with fictionalized real life objects and creatures. Your argument seems to be that we must provide context to each of these, but that is the very definition of cruft. It is not "misleading" to link to an article about an elephant if a minor character in a series happens to be riding a giant, fire-breathing elephant. Yes, it is a bit different for extinct creatures, but there is no reason to have something like this solely for the sake of such a non-issue. Such divergences are something that should be noted in the main article under a general production section, not a listing for fans. TTN (talk) 19:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There may be "tons" of series but we treat each article on its own merits. Just because one article does something doesn't mean that another has to do the same. It is misleading to link to an article about an elephant if a significant creature in the series is a fire breathing elephant type creature that isn't actually an elephant. You're confusing cruft with encyclopaedic treatment. An encyclopaedia isn't a series of links. We usually have to describe something. It would be crufty to add minutiae about the creatures but, for the most part, the article doesn't do that at all. Even in the two sections that I mentioned, the cruft level is very low and I'd oppose any effort to hack the article as others have been hacked. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:48, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
