- Delete. I was somewhat surprised to find actual potential reference for this article. That still fails the GNG, though, and in general the article isn't even verifiable. —chaos5023 (talk) 19:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article has has had no content since last month but and infobox and the {{ElectionsUT}} template. Has been once before CSD'ed under the A1 criteria but was declined by administrator DGG. I say delete. —Croisés Majestic (sur nous mars) 23:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete per CSD A1 unless there is significant expansion. It could be a notable topic for an article, but the creator didn't bother adding any content, and I'm tired of cleaning up after him. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:34, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Question. Above you say "I'm tired of cleaning up after him" as if this is a common occurence and implying that this editor is intentionally creating garbage for you. Could you explain this further? -- Avanu (talk) 02:57, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- How would A1 apply to the article? It's easy to see that the page is about the 1996 Utah gubernatorial election. I'll work on the page though. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 01:49, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Clearly a notable topic and there is some decent content in the infobox. Damn those things to hell, by the way... Looks like this is flagged for rescue, no rush on the speedy, let's see if somebody wants to add 25 words and 1 source to save this thing. Carrite (talk) 01:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I tagged it for rescue on the hope it would draw someone interested in improving articles.--Milowent • talkblp-r 02:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep rescued based on article improvement by TheWeakWilled, nice job!--Milowent • talkblp-r 02:33, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I wasn't aware Wikipedia had articles like this. [1] This article currently states: "Winning by the greatest margin in the state's history, Leavitt won every county". Seems notable. I would think that every election at this level should be considered notable for Wikipedia. They always get plenty of coverage for months, or even longer in some cases. The news media analyzes everything they do that might effect this notable event. Dream Focus 02:56, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Question - not that there isn't any notability, but could anyone explain what specifically makes this particular election notable apart from information on either candidate? In other words, in what way does the content here merit a standalone article? I mean, it does sound interesting, but the Democrats almost didn't put up a fight in this race, and the Republican won by a landslide. So why not just redirect this to something about Utah politics, or why Democrats didn't feel a need to run a candidate or whatever... but how is this race something really amazing? -- Avanu (talk) 03:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:GNG I presume? See Category:Gubernatorial elections in the United States, this isn't an isolated article. There are 100s if not thousands of articles on U.S. state gubernatorial elections.--Milowent • talkblp-r 03:05, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep I would be absolutely staggered to discover that the election of a state governor happened without any newspapers thinking to cover it significantly. ╟─TreasuryTag►Alþingi─╢ 14:31, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, fairly obviously notable. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 20:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. While not every statewide election is notable, this one was filled with superlatives - most overspent, greatest margin of election, consistent polling, a last-minute major candidacy, etc. So it is far from run of the mill. There is, in fact, a whole category of 100s of these, but not every possibility (1000s) are included. Some good sources were not difficult to find and add to the article before its deletion nomination. This was 1996, not 1896; Internet sources about it can be found easily. The nomination lives on the periphery of bad faith. It has been rescued per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article was deleted recently. Has since been re-created. Player fails WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE. Signing for Newcastle after failing at Lens does not constitute notability. JSRant Away 23:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article is not worthy of a delete since the player is highly rated was wanted by several clubs and has numerous articles about the transfer of the player as evidence, as for "failed" he was never given a professional contract nor a chance to play in the first team but that could have been for any reason ie financial, the fact Lens had been relegated etc. He has had 12 appearances for Lens B and score 3 goals good start to a promising career from A Central DEFENDING Midfielder, Hardly classed as a fail! He has played well at under 17 and under 18 level, The fact of the matter is this player will be one of the 25 in the Newcastle squad. To delete the article now would be pointless when a new one will need to be created in a few months when the English Premier League commences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazza25784 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: ... because, of course, 18 year olds play in the Premiership all the time. Not. The subject continues to fail WP:ATHLETE. If and when he ever plays at a fully professional level, he may well qualify for an article. Right now, he does not, however "promising" his career allegedly is. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 06:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All these players played before or at the age of 18 In the Premier League: Walcott, Ramsey, Rooney, Wilshire, Armand Traore, Stewart Downing, Daniel Sturridge, Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Jack Rodwell, Andy Carroll, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Ryan Giggs, Phil Jones, Rafael, Fabio, But to name a few. If you refused to give them a page because they are 18 you are an idiot. There are plenty more young players play in the Premier league learn about the League before you comment. Once He makes his debut in a few months you will have to backtrack and allow the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazza25784 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: The player does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL - it is a simple as that. It has nothing to do with his age. Read WP:NFOOTBALL before making such comments, Lazza. Your language is inappropriate.Keallu (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I managed to find two other verifiable sources this time around and have added them to the article. I've also copyedited to move the article toward a more general discussion of the use of these trays as returnable shipping containers and its effect on commerce, the environment and the tension between first-world consumers and third-world producers. I'm still nonplussed as to why such an ubiquitous product had so few easily locatable references. (I know it's OR to point out that I can see these every time I go shopping for fruit and veg.)

I originally BLP prodded this article, but I got tired of edit warring to keep the tag in place, so I thought this would be easier. Article claims multiple charting singles on the Canadian Hot 100, but I was unable to independently verify these claims. This article appears to be an extension of the subject's Facebook advertising campaign. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article should not be deleted. I discovered that some of the information I had posted was falsified but the page should not be deleted as the artist has been listed through many internet websites and many magazine blogs. etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecvntxo (talk • contribs) 22:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: I can think of several AfDs off the top of my head where a handful of fans passionately argued that the wannabe subjects were surely destined for greatness. None were ever heard from again. When (and if) the subject here attracts genuine notice in the form of reliable sources, he can have an article on Wikipedia. Until that time, he can't. In the meantime, according to Billboard, he has never charted on the Canadian Hot 100, and I'm curiously unable to find any reference to the "Canadian iTunes Pop Chart" this article cites. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 06:45, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete. A conspiracy theory/attack page that's been speedied twice in the last two days, and doesn't have any reliable sourcing for its key assertions. Whatever's legitimate in here -- and that's next to nothing -- is already covered in the Washington Mutual article, making this also speediable as an illegitmate spinout. Just giving it a neutral code name doesn't make it much better than a "Project: Silence Vince Foster" or "Project: Fake the Weapons of Mass Destruction" article would be.

- Frazer Brown (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I am unconvinced that a producer and director of fringe theatre is of sufficient public interest to warrant a Wikipedia article. Few reliable independent sources mention him, none in any depth, and I see no evidence that he meets any of the WP:ENT criteria.
Aside from the question of the article's relevance as a whole, the article contains a number of substantial unsupported and/or misleading claims.
1. "Frazer Brown (born 13 April 1979) is a British film and theatrical producer, director, impresario, writer and actor. He is best known as the co-founder of the The Rival Theatre Company.[1] He is also the founder of Debonair Films International"
The link given in support of this claim is dead, and is in any case a social network page created by the subject of the article, which I do not believe could be considered a credible independent source.
2. "He is an alumnus of the New York Film Academy and has directed, produced and acted in numerous stage, film and television productions. He has been involved with projects at HBO, So Television, PBS and Vinyl Foote amongst others."
No source is given to support this claim.
3. "Theatre productions have included Nevermind The Broadway and Dorian Gray.[2]"
The source cited states only that a touring production of Nevermind the Broadway took place, and that Johndeep More, known for appearing on Any Dream Will Do, appeared in it. Neither Dorian Gray nor Mr Brown are mentioned.
4. "In 2008 he collaborated with Jason McHugh and Trey Parker on the stage production of Cannibal the Musical."
One of the links [5] provided to support this claim appears to be dead. The others confirm that the production took place, directed by Mr Brown and with Mr McHugh as executive producer and emergency stand-in actor. They do not provide any support for the claim that Mr Parker's involvement with the production extended beyond writing the book, lyrics and score of the film of which it was an adaptation, or even that he was aware the production was taking place.
5. "in 2010 he produced and directed the world premiere workshop of the musical stage adaptation of The Devil's Advocate.[6]with a libretto by author Andrew Neiderman with music composed by Dutch composer Sarif Tribou. [7]."
Link [6] is to Mr Neiderman's personal website and confirms that he and Mr Tribou have written the work in question, but makes no mention of Mr. Brown's involvement. Link [7] redirects to the front page of the Camden Fringe website, suggesting that the press release in question is no longer online.
6. "He is associated with the Young Vic Theatre through the Genesis Foundation [8] and is a production associate of Mercury Musical Developments."
The link confirms that Mr Brown is a member of the Young Vic Directors Programme, which anyone not in full time education who considers him/herself a director may join. It contains a profile of Mr Brown written by himself. No mention is made of the Genesis Foundation or the Mercury Musical Developments.
7. "Early life
Frazer Christian James Aaron Brown was born in London to Eric William John Brown JR and Christine Mary Brown (née Cleveland). He has one younger sibling Verity.
Brown grew up in Ashford, Middlesex. He attended Ashford CofE primary school before attending Bishop wand Secondary School. He then went on to study Art, Film, Law and Performing Arts at Spelthorne College and Photography and Film studies at Brooklands College."
No support is given for any part of this section.
8. "During this time he made his West End debut in the Bill Kenwright musical Robin: Prince of Sherwood at the Piccadilly Theatre amongst other stage and television appearances including The Bill."
No support is given for any part of this statement. However, Mr Brown's IMDB page - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2114253/ - confirms that he appeared in a 1996 episode of The Bill entitled "Chatterbox" as a Gang Member.
9. "Comic Book Career 1994-1997
During his late teens Brown worked as a freelance illustrator and became a regular contributor to Theatre Mask as well as illustrating the theatrical posters and programmes for local dramatic companies. An avid comic collector, Aged 16 he formed his own small press company Embryo Comics, publishing, writing and illustrating the short-lived series Creatures of the Night, Trapped and Quantum Bob. He also had his work published in 2000ad and Defective Comics. His teenage comic career was the focus of the ‘comics’ episode of the educational Television series UK Kids. In 1996 he appeared as a guest at Caption and contributed to Angels of Deception -- the same issue featured Ian Churchill’s comic debut."
No part of this section is supported by references.
10. "Film and Theatre Career 2002 onwards
Between 2002 and 2005 Brown graduated from the New York Film Academy and co-founded The Rival Theatre Company and Debonair Films International. He was the UK based producer for Red Sky Pictures and Great Scott Films. Working on Snow Blind and The Cake Eaters (which was passed on to a different production company) amongst others. He was nominated for 'Best supporting actor' at the Woking Drama Festival for his portrayal Collatine in an adaptation of William Shakespeares sonnet The Rape of Lucrece.[10]"

11. "He currently produces, writes and directs independent productions in both theatre and film. He continues to act, sometimes in his own projects as well as external work. In 2009 he produced the short film Rapunzel, directed by Pietra Mello-Pittman in association with Sisters Grimm ltd. The movie received production consultancy from Mike Figgis and was shot using Red Digital Cinema Camera Company technology.[11]"
The linked site confirms that Ms Mello-Pittman directed the film in question, that Mr Figgis consulted on it, and that the camera system in question was used. No mention is made of Mr Brown. He is, however, credited as the film's producer on IMDB.
12. "In 2010 he was due to revive his production of Cannibal! The Musical at the leicester Square Theatre in the West End however this production was cancelled after rights were withdrawn [12]"
The linked article confirms that the production was scheduled to take place and was cancelled. Quotations attributed by the article to Mr Brown state that the rights were never legally granted. Nevertheless, the existence of such an article in a major trade publication represents in my opinion this article's strongest claim to relevance.
13. "Comedy
Brown had a small part in the controversial television series Brass Eye acting alongside Chris Morris. He created and wrote the satirical show Nevermind The Broadway and conceived and produced Hamlet (abridged) at The Etcetera theatre in collaboration with Simon Kane, writer for That Mitchell and Webb Look and Erik Wiener of Famous last nerds, and others. He was a technical consultant on So Graham Norton in New York, and has written sketches for Fox Sports News. In 2008 he directed Cannibal! The Musical from a script and score by Trey Parker. The same year he founded the LOL comedy evening at the etcetera theatre with comedienne Charlotte Jo Hanbury. Acts have included David Whitney, Vicky Stone, Tiffany Stevenson and Fergus Craig In July 2008 he wrote and performed in the play Hello in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for world's shortest play.[13][14]"
Link [13] confirms that Hello was performed at the 2008 Camden Fringe Festival, and that it was intended to break the Guiness World Record for world's shortest play, although it is not clear that this attempt was noted or validated by Guiness World Records. Mr. Brown's involvement in the 2008 production of Cannibal! The Musical is confirmed by links [3] and [4]. No support is given for any other part of this section, although Mr Brown's aforementioned IMDB page - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2114253/ - confirms that he appeared in Brass Eye.

Previous AfD was closed as a procedural keep because the nominator was a sockpuppet. As the closing administrator commented that this article could be immediately relisted, I'm nomination it again with the same argument that I gave in the previous AfD.
All the content in the article is original research by synthesis at best. The article does not provide even one reference. There is no presumption that the topic meets the general notability guideline with no sources. The content itself is exclusively a plot-only description of a fictional work and, because of this, the list does not meet the criteria of appropriate topics for lists. I believe that is article is merely an unsourced content fork of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, with no real justification to its existence. Since nothing is referenced, I do not think that a merge is deserved or that any other alternative than deletion is valid. Jfgslo (talk) 17:16, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep If the sources only told us the definition of the term over and over, thousands of times according to Google, then we'd only have a dictionary definition. This is the case with a number of related genitalia-obsessed neologisms that have been acting out for unwarranted attention of late. But this article cites at least three [2][3][4] sources which both use the term camel toe and give more information and insight than the definition alone.

- Which legendarily awesome "reliable sources" are you referring to? Might it be "Cameltoe Alert" in Salon.com? Or perhaps the exhaustive coverage of the encyclopedic concept in "Fashion Tip in Rap for Brooklyn Girls" in the New York Times which explains about a song lyric "Cameltoe is slang for a fashion faux pas caused by women wearing snug pants." WOW!!! That's a reliable source, the New York Times used the word once! How about "Anatomy of a Cameltoe, part 1" in that legendary independent, substantial, and reliable source, Fashion Incubator.

What is the harm in my suggesting that a future article possibly cover the concept of groin profiling in fashion, per my nom? It seems the gist of these pointy arguments is a personal one: namely, are about "this editor (not this edit, this concept, etc.) that is bogus," then adding whatever arguments ad hoc, whose only rationally consistent theme is to oppose me personally. This is how it feels to me, anyway. Thanks.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 13:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It seems fairly clear to most editors here, but to summarize; You suggested changes to the article that were not accepted by the consensus, so have instead put it up for deletion, whereupon you will almost certainly attempt to once again reintroduce your prefered versions into any new pages created, as per your own comments at the top: "this article's deletion will pave the way for an article of arguably encyclopedic to be tentatively created on the subject of dress/fashion through the ages and profiling of the groin" a_man_alone (talk) 14:28, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Decide whether to substitute with a soft redirect to the Wiktionary entry by ordinary talk page discussion. If there's a point to be made here, that point is that there is no need for an administrator to delete the page history of this article - apart from a lack of information, there's nothing to object to. To the contrary, if that is done, it means that the original contributors who created the stuff I moved over to Wiktionary will no longer be properly credited. Also, there are some bits and pieces of content which, while rather obvious, I didn't manage to stuff into the Wiktionary article as quotes. Someone with experience in that project might be able to scrounge up something else to transfer over. I started a discussion along this line at WP:DICT's talk page, though it didn't sound like I was getting enough support last I looked - nonetheless, I feel my logic is right, especially for this example.

- Comment - As a paraphrase of the old legal saw, "If the guidelines are on your side, lay out your argument according to a detailed examination of the guidelines; if the editing histories are on your side, lay out the applicable diffs; but if neither are on your side, confuse the matter by attacking your disputant's motives and character." I have absolutelly no idea where anyone got the impression I have posted more than one AfD and one RM on this topic. The record plainly shows, after another editor moved most of Camel toe to Wiktionary, in good faith I posted this present AfD--my first and only one ever on this topic--on June 18 and that prior to this Wikitionary entry having been expanded, I had suggested alternate rubrics for the slang term camel toe via an RM--likewise my one and only, ever--here: Talk:Camel_toe#Requested move. To draw an analogy from the essay wp:Don't revert due to "no consensus" [first paragraph of essay's lede]:
--in this case, we have a wolfpack of editors alleging I am conducting some kind of campaign due to my personal preferences and therefore having been guilty of violating wp:POINT. If that makes for a so-called consensus, despite there being no detailed explanation backing up this claim, then such consensus is meaningless. That's why we have ANI. These points (pardon the pun) should have been hashed out there and not on the discussion pages themselves IMO.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 16:36, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]"Sometimes editors will undo a change, justifying their revert merely by saying that there is 'no consensus' for the change, or by simply asking the original editor to 'first discuss'. Except possibly on pages that describe long-standing Wikipedia policy, this is not very helpful. After all, that you reverted the edit already shows that there is no consensus."'

- Comment This is incorrect, music cannot simply be posted on itunes, it needs to be sent to a distribution retailer like www.believedigital.com accounts with companies like these, requires regular releases, and contracts.
- The point is, it's trivially easy to get music up on iTunes, if you're willing to pay what's necessary - there's no notability conferred by having it listed there, just as a self-published book gains no notability just because the writer went through the hoops to get it listed on Amazon.

Cosmic Evolution is the title of a 2002 new-age/religious book by Eric Chaisson, an astrophysicist at Tufts, where he is director of the Wright Center for Science Education. User User:Wrightcenter, who appears to be affiliated with Chaisson's Wright Center, has participated in editing the article and in defending it on its talk page. The article presents cosmic evolution as "the scientific study of universal change," but cosmic evolution is not a recognized or widely discussed scientific theory, it is an attempt at a spiritual synthesis with input from science. Chaisson does not describe it as a scientific theory. He describes its purpose as "to sketch a grand evolutionary synthesis that would better enable us to understand who we are, whence we came, and how we fit into the overall scheme of things." The article attempts to puff up the ideas in Chaisson's book into a scientific theory, and into one that is widely discussed, by giving a long list of references. Nearly all of these references are to books that came out before Chaisson coined the phrase "cosmic evolution" in his 2002 book. For example, there is a reference to the 1980 popular science book Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, who died six years before Chaisson published his book. There are references to a long list of new-age/religious books by Frederick Turner, most of them predating Chaisson's. The body of the article also freely invokes the authority of various academics as supporters for cosmic evolution, without citing any verifiable source to show that those people consider themselves supporters. For example: "The emergentist psychology of Clare Graves, which sees the human mind and societies as co-emerging into more complex levels, also fits well into the cosmic evolution paradigm." Although Chaisson's book has been reviewed favorably by noted scientists such as G.F.R. Ellis and E.O. Wilson, (a) they reviewed it as religion and philosophy, not as science, and (b) a favorably reviewed book is still just a book, not a notable field of scientific study in its own right. --Fashionslide (talk) 16:46, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Simply redirect to Physical cosmology, which is the scientific field that studies the evolution of the cosmos. The present article is largely an unsalvageable and incoherent amalgam of OR and NN pseudoscientific drivel. --Lambiam 21:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirecting makes sense to me.--Fashionslide (talk) 01:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The current article is a confusing read and largely unsupported. I could find nothing salvageable in the current article, but if other editors think the article history might prove useful then a simple redirect would be fine. Timeline of the Big Bang is the article I was expecting, and I think would make a better redirect target. - 2/0 (cont.) 01:50, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Big Bang is just one (although the leading) theory of cosmic evolution, and therefore redirecting to the Timeline article implies Wikipedia has a preference for that specific theory; in that respect Physical cosmology is more neutral. While I don't particularly care for the article history, it is harmless, and "cosmic evolution" is a plausible search term. --Lambiam 09:37, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to History of Firefox. History of Firefox is the main article about the history of Firefox releases. Releases for which limited verifiable information is available at the present time, like FF5, FF6, and FF7, should be described entirely within that article. Releases like FF4 which have extensive verifiable information should (and do) have sections in that article with {{main}} referring to a more complete article. I will perform this merge myself.

- Keep FF5 (which will be released within 24 hours anyway) and Merge FF6 and FF7 into the main Mozilla Firefox entry until they are suitable to break off into their own respective articles. Having separate articles for FF6 & 7 right now is probably inappropriate because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, but eventually such articles may become necessary.
- Forgive me for quoting policy here, but:
“ | Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. While Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content. | ” |

And Firefox 5 certainly wasn't a milestone release like 4 was. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: If all of the version specific content is merged into the parent article Firefox then the main article becomes bloated. It is far more valuable if the main article is kept concise and the detail on individual releases are collected in distinct, focused, articles.
- While v5 is not visibly a milestone release, such as v4 was; it reprents a big improvement in security and stability. While v4 was vulnerable to various instabilities, memory leakages and buggy websites; v5 seems on the basis of various credible reviews to be a significant if not substantial improvement. This is likely why v4 is no longer supported, although v3.6 (currently v3.6.18, released 2011-06-21) still is.
- To those who feel that Wikipedia should not be a directory of changelogs or release notes I would counter that the information presented is of significant contemporary interest and should be captured by a Wiki. If that is not Wikipedia, I would vote in favour of creating a new Wikimedia Wiki (maybe Wikiapps or something similar) and carve-out such Wikipedia articles into the new Wiki; so that we don't continually have this struggle over those who favour deleting, obviously relevant and impartial, reference material regarding computer applications in particular, and ICT applications in general.

- Delete: The Firefox 5 article does not contain enough information to justify having its own page. The list of features and public reviews can easily be summarized into a paragraph or two in the main Firefox article. The version history is completely redundant. I am OK with redirecting search terms for Firefox 5 to the relevant section of the Firefox article. All future releases of Firefox should merit the same treatment.

- Someone posted something at the talk page. kongr43gpenTalk 07:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I sympathise with both viewpoints. There is a clear argument for following WP policy on Fx6 and Fx7 and they should be merged into the future versions section of the Firefox page, with redirects from the page titles to the relevent subsection of the page. Fx5 is a bit more complicated because of the existing pages for Fx2, Fx3, Fx3.5, etc.
- We are in a situation of trying to determine how significant each version is and then trying to agree whether or not it deserves an article. What we need is to update community thinking in line with the publisher's change in version number policy. I suggest that we keep separate articles for versions that are in widespread use (maybe >20% of all version usage by counter statistics?) as in these circumstances, the detail will be of obvious interest and benefit to readers. A new version that people are likely to upgrade to would probably also merit a separate article on the basis of reader interest. All other articles should be merged into Firefox or History of Firefox. Wikiwayman (talk) 08:24, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But there is no reason to keep articles that cannot expand at all. Articles like FF6 and FF7 could also provide useful information if they were merged into History of Firefox. Users would search for Firefox 6 and then be redirected to History of Firefox#Firefox 6. --kongr43gpenTalk 08:51, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep FF7 is now at the stage of having a released alpha, which would seem to meet WP:CRYSTAL and the comparable guidelines for large projects like film-making. This is obviously going to be an important product and we will require an article on it. The question is not whether to, but when to. As there's now public product visible, I'd claim that we've reached that point. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:42, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- FF7 may meet WP:CRYSTAL but is it significant enough? It is a minor release, whose article can't have so much information. Just like Google Chrome --kongr43gpenTalk 08:51, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep FF5 due to consistency, but redirect FF6 and FF7 to the main article, at least for now. Why not treat FF5 like other previous versions? I understand it has not changed much, but there still could new information added, such as reviews, etc. Unless you want to redirect all of the versions of Firefox, I think they should remain separate. Indynchild (talk) 09:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia has no obligation whatsoever to have an article for consistency's sake only. Consistent or not, Firefox 5 article still does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia which are Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. (Previous Firefox articles do meet these criteria.) Also please see WP:WAX. Fleet Command (talk) 09:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree with the idea that Firefox 5 fails Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not criteria. It is the current release, is already used by millions and has been reviewed by numerous critics. The problem we have is that many people (including critics) don't see it as a full version. There's almost enough material out there for an article entitled "Controversy of whether Firefox 5 is a new version"!

Wikiwayman (talk) 10:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Firefox 5 since it's a major software release (we have Internet Explorer 9, which is less widely used). The others are crystal (except for maybe one future version, FF6, for which something is known)
- Merge all. Individual releases of a software application are not notable enough to require separate articles for each one -- at least not releases that are so close together and contain so few changes as these do. Powers T 17:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep FF5 The future releases can be merged for now. But given there are multiple article for I.E. 7, 8 et al I don't see why Firefox has to be merged into one article. FF5 is a new version, even if it has similarities to FF4. John Smith's (talk) 20:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete They just released FF5, we gotta go thru 6 before we even think of this article. --TheTruthiness (talk) 22:42, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge the lot - either into Firefox and/or that timeline. FF5 may be released, but it's a fairly minor update upon FF4, not really all the notable in of itself. The pre-releases have even less to them, especially as it is, and considering that they're now all evidently updating on a much more regular basis, having separate articles makes less sense than previously, indeed. That said, if something does happen, one turns out to be a milestone after all or happen to have something else more notable about it, branching it into a separate article when that happens would be reasonable. ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 04:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The version has been released so there's no point deleting it as millions of users are using it now and firefox is the topper in the browser war. So its latest version must be a hot feature and media value is great, I feel the article should be expanded more. It's not just a minor release but a MAJOR one. --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 06:04, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Useful, well-sourced article on a pertinent topic. It's sad how often I come to Wikipedia these days seeking content on a notable topic and find that it's up for deletion, or useless "merging" into an article whilst retaining none of the content the user actually wanted to find. Rebecca (talk) 07:34, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge all into History of Firefox. E.g. Firefox 5 is a "major release" in version number only, and the changes are fairly cosmetic. The development time (3 months from 4 to 5 vs 14 months from 3.6 to 4) is also telling. But what's the most important: there is no substantial content that would warrant standalone articles. GregorB (talk) 11:34, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Happened to notice this while I was browsing, and while I rarely edit these days, I actually searched up the changelog to find changes. With time, it'll develop into a full-class article. We also have Internet Explorer 10, so why bother? 122.108.161.92 (talk) 14:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Firefox 5. I honestly can't believe that the article about the CURRENT VERSION of Mozilla Firefox, version 5, is nominated for deletion. I'm not weighing in on the debate over Firefox 6 and 7, since those aren't out yet and I don't really care, but the fact that the Firefox 5 article has a thing at the top saying it's been nominated for deletion is just RIDICULOUS, since Firefox 5 is the current version, it is out, and I am using it along with many other people. I also strongly think that the nomination for deletion for Firefox 5 should be removed now that Firefox 5 is out, and it should be limited to just Firefox 6, 7, etc. The thing at the top of the Firefox 5 page saying it's been nominated for deletion shouldn't be there, in other words. --Yetisyny (talk) 15:32, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge FF 5 into FF 4 article; redirect 6 and 7 to the main Firefox article. Unless FF 6 and 7 roll-out some major changes, I don't see any point in splitting them from the main article. The FF 5 release didn't introduce anything particularly notable, and information about this release is probably best merged with the FF 4 article for now. 70.153.125.178 (talk) 14:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Edit: Actually, I changed my mind. After reviewing other comments, I'm not so convinced that we need separate articles for various Firefox versions. I'm sure everything could be truncated and crammed into the main article as an outline of notable version differences / major feature implementations. To spawn articles for every version means having to write separate introductions for each, and pad the rest of the sections with information that likely serves no other purpose than to make the article look up-to-code. Really, all I see in each article is reception / reviews and bits about development history. The development history doesn't even need to diverge from the main article in the first place.

- Merge FF5, FF6, FF7, and future releases Mozilla's new fast Chrome-like release schedule means that "major" releases aren't actually so major at all now. There is no point in having an FF5 page when the only changes from FF4 are minor and not noticeable to the casual user. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion at this point on FF 6 and FF 7. —Ynhockey (Talk) 06:59, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge somewhere There is a massive amount of misinformation and people not reading properly in this thread. Firefox changed their release schedule so they now release a new version every two months (firefox 6 is scheduled for release on 16 august). We will have nowhere near enough material to write proper articles about these an upcoming releases. Presumably this is better dealt at the end of next year when we are at firefox 14 and even the most diehard keep voters understand that this is not gonna work.

- Weak Delete This is quite a difficult one to call, because she has made a role in at least one notable production. According to statement 1 in WP:ENT, an actor needs to have "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." One of the notable productions she took part in was Little Britain where she played as Jane Evans, and yet I took a look at the List of Little Britain characters and that character isn't even listed on there, which in my opinion Jane Evans isn't a very important character, and thus meaning this was only a minor role. There's only one significant role of a character that she played, and that was Debbie Rossi in The Cup, but still, one significant role isn't good enough to pass WP:ENT. Minima© (talk) 19:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Jane Edwards (not Evans) was a very small role, only appearing in four sketches in TV series 2 (those with "Harvey Pincher" in the title). I don't think that was Powers's only part in LB however: I have the CDs of both radio series - they state "Performed by Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Gwenllian Davies, Tom Baker, Samantha Power, Paul Putner" (series 1) and "Performed by Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Jean Ainslie, Tom Baker, Samantha Power, Paul Putner" (series 2), but unfortunately they do not link characters to actors. Eliminating the men, there is only one name common to both series, so any genuinely female characters found in both series were likely played by Power. There are several of these, such as Myfanwy (in several Dafydd Thomas sketches) and Samantha (wife of Edward Grant, her former schoolteacher). --Redrose64 (talk) 21:10, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Campaign for "santorum" neologism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The term "Santorum" was coined as an attack on a living person.
Per WP:ATTACK:
An attack page is a page, in any namespace, that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, these pages are subject to speedy deletion. Upon finding such a page, identify it for speedy deletion by prepending the {{db-attack}}
template, and warn the user who created it using the {{Attack}}
user warning template. Attack pages may also be blanked as courtesy.
Per WP:ATTACK and WP:BLP this page must be deleted. Any mention of "s@nt0r&m" as a neologism needs to be removed as it exists only to disparage Rick Santorum (No I don't support him and think his comments are un-intelligent at best, but I DO support keeping attack pages of the pedia ) KoshVorlon' Naluboutes Aeria Gloris 11:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (possibly with additional re-naming / re-focus of article). Ample coverage in reliable independent sources, relating to public figure, can be written in encyclopedic manner without violation of policies. Bongomatic 11:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict)Speedy keep You've got to be joking, that article is packed with loads of reliable sources. We've got articles on troll sites like the Gay Niggers Association of America and 4chan and Anonymous (group) should we delete those because we get the occasional vandal or two from them? No, because they also cite reliable sources. It is not a direct attack on Rick Santorum as you can see if you actually bothered to read the article in its entirity. You'd also find that the article states this is an attempt by Dan Savage to label a politician and his entire family with a rather disgusting sexual act. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 9:41pm • 11:41, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- oh for fuxake... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Actually, I think this argument holds water. The sources are clear in stating that the entire Google bomb campaign is an attack by Savage and his followers on Santorum. Therefore, it makes sense that Wikipedia, by its own policies, cannot aid and abet this attack on a living person by joining in in this campaign. Cla68 (talk) 11:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - at least as currently titled. Paucity of sourcing (documenting use or employment independent of the issue itself) suggests it is NOT an established neologism and certainly within WP editorial discretion to decline independent treatment as such. Issue can be adequately and appropriately addressed in Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality JakeInJoisey (talk) 11:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (and work on it) 5th nomination .... I saw the previous title to be offensive and participating on the attack. But this one? It does not say the term is real neologism (JakeInJoisey? The previous title really did so). Instead it says someone really push for it. Making it clear, that there is dirty attack on the Senanator in real life and article is just about it, not the word. (If it is not clear from the title - better should be chosen, see bellow) The real life attack is dirty, and it is pretty notable as may be seen by the lists of sources. It influences his career too (without Wikipedia taking part in it), in previous political campaign it was blamed. But the article is written in wrong manner to collect sources and qoutes to bolster the notability, it is not nice one. But effort to rewrite it is just normal cure here. The title should be adressed, it should match the content better. And it should be adressed there, where the debate is ongoing. See: #Back_to_the_re-naming_issue section. The current title is considered interim a) before we rewrite it to see clearer what would be best fit b) to aleviate the BLP - this title was the best working title not pretending that the neologism has any significance here. But those are concern for RfC and debate, not for AfD here. --Reo + 12:41, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Instead it says someone really push for it.
- You mean like Dan Savage Google-bomb Attack on Rick Santorum? I'd merge that as well. JakeInJoisey (talk) 13:08, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Snow keep. Article just survived an RfD that proposed merging it without a redirect, which was functionally equivalent to deletion. It's survived three previous AfDs plus an aborted AfD proposed by this editor while the aforementioned RfD was in process. Based on the RfD voting and previous results, there's not a snowball's chance that this AfD will pass. The "it's an attack page" argument has been advanced repeatedly in the past without success or consensus. The nomination comes close to being WP:POINTy. I am trying to AGF really really hard but all I can think is WP:STICK. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 12:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The article seems contrary to numerous policies including WP:SOAP, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE. It generally seems quite outrageous and maintaining this blatant attack page while the subject is a high-profile presidential candidate seems likely to bring the project into disrepute. Warden (talk) 13:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Token delete, really, since there's probably Not a chance in hell of it happening, but it really is just another front in the Savage vs. Santorum war rather than a legitimate article. I have to wonder what the tune here would be if, say, Glenn Beck coined something like "The Obamalama" as the frothy mixture of something similarly distasteful, and the right-wing blogosphere + FoxNews dutifully reported it and put it into general use.

- I don't care As long as the page is renamed to remove those god-awful quotation marks. Reywas92Talk 13:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep, I guess. I'm not thrilled about the existence of this page, but I can't bring myself to !vote delete here. The title change is a (somewhat flawed) step in the right direction, but the article really seems a bit bloated to me, like someone tried to mention every single time someone in the media referenced this campaign. I'd feel a lot better about keeping this if it were trimmed down to the most significant coverage by the most reliable sources available. Qrsdogg (talk) 13:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's terribly written, probably needs renaming still, but is of a notable prank. There may not be enough relevant stuff to say about this to justify a stand-alone article, but that won't be known till all the irrelevant bloat has been trimmed. It's perfectly possible to write about an attack without becoming part of the attack. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It's a huge stretch to try to apply attack page policies for biographies to an article covering of an orchestrated campaign at politicized language manipulation. I like the new title for the page "Campaign for "santorum" neologism" as opposed to "Santorum (neologism)" because that is precisely what is of historical import in this affair: the campaign... Not everything in life is sweetness and light, it is not Wikipedia's mission to lend coverage to only that which is wholesome and positive and edifying. The question is whether this coordinated campaign of the 2012 election cycle is encyclopedia-worthy as a historic event. I think there is a sufficient body of published material to demonstrate that it is. Carrite (talk) 13:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The article, under its former name (changed to satisfy Santorum partisans), has survived four AfD nominations. It is already well established that the article does NOT violate BLP guidelines. Will requests for deletion become a regular event until the partisans get their wish? Yes, it is becoming very difficult to maintain good faith. TechBear | Talk | Contributions 13:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete violates WP:NPOV WP:BLP* Keep - after reviewing the history and background, changed my opinion on the matter. Santorum has been maligned by this sex advice columnist but does appear to have achieved notability and not a BLP violation. Warfieldian (talk) 14:27, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Keep. It's not a BLP violation. It's not an attack page. It's a notable topic. It's not terribly written. It's well sourced. We've been down this road before. Trout for the nominator for trying it yet again. Drmies (talk) 14:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. It's a smear, but a highly notable one (much like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Willie Horton controversy, Bill Ayers presidential election controversy, etc.) and has been widely reported on in the US media as having a significant impact on Santorum's presidential ambitions. To use Cla68's logic that this article must be deleted because "The sources are clear in stating that the entire Google bomb campaign is an attack by Savage and his followers on Santorum", none of those articles could exist, as the controversies were all attacks on major political figures, created for the sole purpose of attack. If we agree to start censoring negative news about politicians, where does that madness stop? +1 on trout all involved in trying to delete this for a fifth(!) time. I would have thought a 100+ participant RfC would have been enough. Are we going to have to vote on this every week for the rest of our lives? --Khazar (talk) 15:16, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep as this AfD is clearly against the current consensus for renaming (which has been done twice now as an 'interim measure') and reviewing the content. Those are currently being actively discussed on its Talk page. I have no idea how this AfD can be justified at this point in time, especially by someone who hasn't been taking an actually active part in the Talk page discussion. His/her confusion seems to be between an actual attack page, and an article describing a notable attack. There's a difference. Flatterworld (talk) 15:24, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Amen to that. You and I may not have agreed much on the article's talk page, Flatterworld, but you've hit the nail on the head with this one. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 16:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. And groan. The subject of the page passes WP:N. What is needed now is editing. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. Opening an AFD right after a weeks-long RfC with feedback from over a hundred editors (including Jimbo Wales) closed with a consensus to keep the article is a severe case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. Please back slowly away from the horse carcass and close this nonsense. elektrikSHOOS 16:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep Current name is per consensus, is notable, and when the recentism dies down it will be reduced to a reasonable size (or maybe before). I dislike the senator's opinions, I dislike the sex-advice columnist's name calling campaign, I dislike how disruptive this has been to Wikipedia, I dislike political activism on Wikipedia, I dislike the gaming of Wikipedia . . .

- Keep, one of the worst misinterpretations of BLP I've ever seen. An article about an "attack" is not an "attack" itself, nor even is the term itself an attack in the sense of a negative and/or false factual statement about Rick Santorum. Even if it were, it is not a BLP violation to cover notable negative false statements made by third parties and reported upon by reliable sources, as noted above by Khazar (e.g., Swift Boat Veterans for Truth). postdlf (talk) 17:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. Article passes WP:N, WP:RS and WP:NPOV criteria: nor, as said above multiple times, is it a BLP violation. This has been established by four AfD processes so far -- nothing has changed recently, and merely repeating AfD nominations over and over is not a reasonable response to this. -- The Anome (talk) 17:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This will no doubt be kept, but the rationale above is largely bullshit, as a coterie of like-minded editors do not get to decide what is or is not a BLP violation. It has been said before and bears saying again; local consensus should not be allowed to override Wikipedia policy. Tarc (talk) 17:19, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Local.. under your tone, it would be hard to decide, when the consensus ceases to be just local. Is full fledged RfC local or not? Centralized RfC would be? Proposal to change policy is local if the number of people attending it is small? How you would be deciding hierarchies of policies.

Completing nom for 67.101.6.24. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From talk page:
I am nominating this article for deletion because I believe it fails to meet WP:GNG.
After noticing that the PROD by Belovedfreak had been removed, I looked for evidence of that it met WP:BIO. A search on google.fr found only the 2004 documentary short on IMDb that Belovedfreak mentioned. I checked and found this message instead of an article:
- "Cette page a été supprimée. Le journal des suppressions et des déplacements est affiché ci-dessous pour référence: 13 juin 2011 à 19:00 Lomita a supprimé « Bruno Dunckel » (Ne répond pas aux critères d'admissibilité de Wikipédia, contenu non vérifiable : Le contenu était « Bruno Dunckel est un monteur vidéo, réalisateur, gra)".
I then checked for other contributions by Annghrian that suggest expertise on the subject, and discovered that the editor who contested the article was also the creator of the article, and had edited only this article, raising the possibility of a WP:SPA.
These factors convinced me to nominate it for deletion. 67.101.6.24 (talk) 01:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
A list of places that a product appears in popular culture is not encyclopedic and does not belong on Wikipedia. The fact that people editing the product's main page continue to create such pointless lists in the article itself does not justify creating a separate page for the equally non-notable information. Dimaspivak (talk) 05:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagree & Keep. Obviously the dozens of contributors to the list proposed for deletion as well as to the main article itself find it to be of some encyclopedic value, inadvertently generating a large consensus in contrast to your lone objection. It is of no more or less encyclopedic value than the List of Strategic Air Command bases - a defunct organization of almost 20 years, and listing a majority of facilities which no longer exist. As there is no WP policy prohibiting lists of this nature in addition to the consensus supporting the need for this type of information to be cataloged, and it has obviously seen and generated a rather significant amount of traffic, I contend for it to remain, yet to be expanded and better formatted.

- A list for the deletion of lists. Epic, circular logic. Srobak (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOT an indiscriminate list of information. Listings of occurances of uses of specific articles of clothing, pieces of equipment, etc are well out of the scope of Wikipedia's mission. The information doesn't really have a place at Wikipedia, either as a stand-alone article, or as a comprehensive list of uses within the main article. Would be equally rediculous regardless of the consumer product being hawked; i.e. a "List of people who wear Levi's brand jeans" or "List of people who drive Honda cars" has no more place here than this list does. --Jayron32 19:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Beats by Dr. Dre. I've never heard of them before, but after reading the two articles I see that the product placement marketing is a big part of the story of these headphones. The merged article will not be too long and a precedent will not be set for other product placement lists. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- seriously? The idea as stated above is to get the main article not to read as an advertisement, which the endless contributions of product placements resulted in, and got it tagged as such. I'd rather have the list deleted outright rather than have it clutter up the original article. Srobak (talk) 04:59, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Jayron32's statement; although I would have chosen to merge the content if there are some references to accompany some of the appearances in this list, but every list has to have at least one source otherwise it might get deleted. Minima© (talk) 08:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do bus routes really need a separate article? When I added bus routes to an article, it was wiped off citing notability issues, and another time saying that Wikipedia is NOT a directory. An article, or a list will all bus routes with destinations, routes, a rollover map maybe, might be handy, but individual article PER route sounds silly to me.

- Delete—I'm inclined to agree with the nominator. There's nothing specific to this article to establish notability for this route. The list of bus routes in London covers the pertinent information from this article already. If a notes column were added to the table on that list, the two historical facts (original contract for service, renewal of that contract) could be added to that page as well. In the meantime, a footnote for that information could be appended to the service provider name in the table. On the whole, this article though does not satisfy WP:GNG, so delete, or redirect it back to the list. Imzadi 1979 → 16:20, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete there are articles for series of bus routes but individual bus routes must meet WP:GNG which this does not. LibStar (talk) 04:08, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete in the last AfD, I originally went for 'delete' then changed this to 'keep' when a source and brief mention of the route's history was added. However, nothing further has been added, and I could not find anything at reliable independent sources which would allow this article to be expanded beyond what currently exists. As such, I feel that this is one of the London bus routes for which there is no justification in having an article. Of course, if someone can find a reliable independent source (on- or offline) and expands the history section, then I might change to 'keep', but I couldn't find anything suitable. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:36, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I would be happy with Redirect to Buses in London instead of deleting (although a delete before redirect would be required) PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:51, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment After reading Steve's comment, I want to add a point. Maybe such routes, which may have a tad bit notability as compared to others, can be listed in a single article about notable routes, PROVIDED that notability is established thru reliable sources. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to the list or delete. Unlike many London routes, the sources for this aren't enough to establish notability under WP:GNG. Searches in various source, both on and off the net, gave nothing more in-depth than a 50-word announcement about a tender win and this one-sentence mention. Redirecting is the standard practise for these, as evidenced by Category:Redirects from London bus routes. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. We have literally oodles of lists of parallel stats. There is nothing inappropriate as to having a year-by-year list of such accomplishments. We have them for annual leaders in triples, bases on balls, stolen bases, batting average, doubles, home runs, runs, runs batted in, saves, shutouts, strikeouts, triples, wins, earned run average, innings pitched. While this list is deemed "excessive" by nom, it has no more statistics than any of those lists of baseball statistics. WP:NOTSTATS relates to lists that are excessive, and inasmuch as this is not one, that guideline does not apply. Furthermore, while it is true that, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader, this is already done--there is no requirement that more than that be done. If nom thinks more should be done, any of us are free to do it -- but surely it is do-able, and therefore the article should not be deleted.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Slugging percentage. No need to fork a list of MLB leaders given how short both articles are. Resolute 14:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Given nom's concern that the list is "excessive", perhaps it would not be in his view helpful to merge it into slugging percentage. In any event, in the many parallel lists that I point to, this is not the standard wp approach -- rather, we tend to have one article for "x", and another article for "x leaders". So,perhaps it would be best to maintain the standard approach, for the sake of consistency in presentation.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This is a notable statistic and a list of annual leaders is appropriate. It may be appropriate to merge with a similar American League list, if one exists (I didn't check). I do not think that Slugging percentage is necessarily a good merge target, because then that article may get overwhelmed by statistics, including the annual leaders and all time leaders (and in theory at least, the slugging percentage is general and can apply to other leagues as well, including outside the US). But merge to slugging percentage would still be preferable to deleting. Rlendog (talk) 14:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Agree w/Hit's points. The only hesitation I have about merging to a corresponding AL list would be that if nom feels this list is "excessive" (which I don't think is the case), perhaps he would consider such a merge to be the creation of a list that is twice as excessive. Also agree that a sortable table would be nice (but do not think that is an AfD issue, as I believe Hit would agree).--Epeefleche (talk) 23:11, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for taking another look, Muboshgu, and being kind enough to consider the views of the rest of us. Very much appreciate that. As to whether a merge is a good idea, I would suggest that we follow whatever approach we use in the other parallel categories I mention above (annual leaders in triples, bases on balls, stolen bases, batting average, doubles, home runs, runs, runs batted in, saves, shutouts, strikeouts, triples, wins, earned run average, innings pitched). Haven't checked myself whether we generally have merged lists, or League-specific, but I would go with whatever the accepted pattern (or consensus) is.

- You've completely changed your rationale, so that's more than a rephrasing. You didn't appear to have looked outside of the article to conclude that the term was made up; what did you do to subsequently confirm that it's not notable? And if it were retitled to something like "List of Major League Baseball players with at least fifty home runs in a single season", with a sentence on the term merely stating "Players who have achieved this are sometimes referred to collectively as the '50 Home Run Club'", would you still have an objection to it then? postdlf (talk) 14:43, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Point is actually well taken that the term is more often used in conjunction with the number 500, but this is a commonly used and easily understandable phrase and concept.

There seems to be enough sources for use of a "50 home run club" title rather than a more awkward "List of Major League Baseball players who hit 50 home runs in a single season" to retain the title as well, but that seems to be an issue separate from keeping or deleting.

I have read the article on the French Wikipedia ([15]). The majority of the article is about him studying music at university and winning a grant to do a doctorate. The closest the subject gets to passing WP:MUSICBIO is that he had a single song included in a compilation published by EMI. The criteria at WP:MUSICBIO asks that the subject has released two or more albums on a major label; not a single song on a compilation.

The article does not satisfy the Notability (people) guideline - It relies on one main source: an article in a free newspaper The Standard in 2005; I would regard this as a primary source because the journalist interviewed Daoud Bokhary and expressed his/her own finding on Bokhary in the newspaper article. There are no multiple secondary sources on the person to demonstrate his notability. STSC (talk) 01:27, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article in The Standard is not by any means a primary source, as that newspaper has editorial independence and is not under the control of Daoud Bokhary. There is nothing unusual about a reliable source interviewing the subject of its coverage. This is standard journalistic practice. In my opinion, this person is notable, and if the article has shortcomings, they should be addressed by normal editing. I also disagree with the nominator's dismissal of all the other sources, as I think The Dawn is also a reliable source. I am unable to evaluate the Chinese language sources. Cullen328 (talk) 05:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Standard's article itself does not prove the person's notability; and the person has not been the main subject of multiple published secondary sources as required in the WP:BIO's guideline. (The Dawn's article isn't wholly about Daoud Bokhary.) STSC (talk) 07:11, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BIO does not require that the coverage be "the main subject", instead it calls for "significant" coverage. It also says "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I think that this article easily meets that standard. As for STSC's comment on the talk page that the man is "portrayed like a saint" and the the article seems like "election propaganda", I must disagree. The article does a good job of summing up the sources. It would be a big mistake, in my view, to allow people's perceptions of his granddaughter to cloud this article. Cullen328 (talk) 16:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please only discuss notability issue here, not my comments on the article's talk page.
- I don't think just two online articles could be classified as "significant".
- So far, you still could not prove his notability - Why this wealthy businessman is worthy of notice? Is it because of his wealth? Or because of his sons and granddaughter? Is he "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention"? STSC (talk) 04:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- People are "notable" when reliable sources discuss them. I believe this man is notable because of the coverage of him in reliable sources, and my assessment of the encyclopedic value of the article. I concede that this may be a bordeline case, but I have expressed my opinion and STSC has their opinion. It would be great to have several more opinions. Cullen328 (talk) 03:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BIO does not require that the coverage be "the main subject", instead it calls for "significant" coverage. It also says "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I think that this article easily meets that standard. As for STSC's comment on the talk page that the man is "portrayed like a saint" and the the article seems like "election propaganda", I must disagree. The article does a good job of summing up the sources. It would be a big mistake, in my view, to allow people's perceptions of his granddaughter to cloud this article. Cullen328 (talk) 16:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Standard's article itself does not prove the person's notability; and the person has not been the main subject of multiple published secondary sources as required in the WP:BIO's guideline. (The Dawn's article isn't wholly about Daoud Bokhary.) STSC (talk) 07:11, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Sources cited are sufficient to demonstrate notability. As Cullen328 correctly points out, a source does not need to be solely devoted to a topic to establish a presumption of notability for the topic, merely to cover the topic in more than a trivial fashion. WP:N: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material". "significant, interesting, or unusual" are subjective judgments; if I may be permitted to quote a very good essay on this topic, "notability is not fame and importance, [and] notability is not subjective". Deletion is called for when an article fails WP:N or passes it but fails WP:NOT; neither case has been demonstrated here. cab (call) 04:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Just two outdated sources (in the year 2005 and 2008) would not justify a stand-alone article for him as a notable living person. The WP:N and WP:BIO guidelines clearly require of multiple reliable sources on the subject. In fact, 7 out of 10 sources cited are related to the members of his family.

- Keep. I agree with Cullen328's rationale that the interview by The Standard qualifies as an independent reliable source. An interview is a biography, and if the interviewer qualifies as an independent interviewer writing for a reliable source, the interview is an independent reliable biography. Although the other cited sources did not discuss Daoud in lengthy detail, the mere fact that Daoud is mentioned in many newspaper reports concerning his relatives' incidents means that Daoud is himself a noteworthy person. From WP:BIO#Basic criteria, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. I think Daoud's case fall into this category and his article should be kept. Deryck C. 10:04, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is not inherited upwards from notable subordinate to parent or grandparent as per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:BIO#Family. STSC (talk) 10:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not talking about inherited notability, which would be the case if we cited a newspaper article about another Bokhary that doesn't mention Daoud, and claimed notability for Daoud. I'm referring to the notability with regards to mentions of Daoud in newspaper reports about other members of his family. Deryck C. 10:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a mention of the person would not establish notability as per WP:SIGCOV and WP:BASIC. Please see the examples given in: WP:N#cite_note-0. STSC (talk)
- I think at this point we just have to agree to differ. From my judgement, many of the reports about other Bokharys give enough mention of Daoud to contribute some notability. Combined together (WP:BASIC) they give enough weight as "multiple independent sources may be combined". With the full interview published by The Standard (WP:SIGCOV/WP:N#cite_note-0), I think his independent notability has been established. Deryck C. 14:20, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:SIGCOV clearly states that a notable subject requires significant coverage which is more than a trivial mention. Besides, those news reports were cited for his family members, not for the person. It's ridiculous trying to use the trivial mentions of the person in those sources to establish his notability.

This article has an extreme POV, and it is very unencyclopedic. It is more like an Urban Dictionary entry than an encyclopedia article. I cannot imagine how this article could be worded so that it does not violate any policies (and WP:IAR certainly does not apply here), so it is probably best to just delete the article. If someone thinks they can write a good, neutral, and encyclopedic article on the subject, they are free to recreate it. Nat682 (talk) 06:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per our policy on neologisms. There's no real evidence that "preacher's kid" is a real term worthy of discussion and not just a natural part of American English (i.e. actually no different from such phrases as "police officer's kid"). The article does not cover the neologism but instead is a coatrack which is used to document stereotypes of the children of clergy. --Anthem 11:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Note Anthem of joy has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas [17]. --Tothwolf (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - The recent improvements in response to this AFD nomination has almost completely fixed most of the reason I cited in the deletion nomination. This improvement was done by two IP addresses who are most likely the same person using a dynamic IP address. However, the article still has major NPOV violations, and I don't think it could be reworded to sufficiently conform to the NPOV policy; therefore, I continue to support deletion of this article. However, this discussion has been active for fourteen days, and currently there is clearly no consensus for either side. --Nat682 (talk) 00:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I see you have added an POV tag to the article, but neither here nor on the article talk page have you explained what the supposed NPOV violations are. There is a phenomenon (that of children of clergy) which is discussed both from outside the religious community (as sociology of religion, with considerable academic work) and within the religious community (as pastoral theology); the stereotype derived from the phenomenon is widespread in books, TV, and films (and is also discussed academically). The article incorporates all three points of view. WP:NPOV specifies "representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources." In my view this has been done, and there is no POV bias. Accordingly, I am removing the tag. I have found no other significant views that have been published by reliable sources -- if you are aware of them, please indicate what they are. 202.124.74.154 (talk) 01:33, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quilla Constance/Jennifer Allen is a fine artist working through the mediums of pop music and video, so I think it would be more appropriate to consider her under fine art notability, rather than musical notability. She has had video works exhibited at a number of public galleries, i.e: Camden Arts Centre, Sunderland Gallery of Contemporary Art (Northern Gallery), The Metropole Gallery, Folkestone. She also has art work in major collections, such as Anita Zabludowicz, David Roberts and Goldsmiths College. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.221.225 (talk) 01:28, 15 June 2011 (UTC) — User:80.177.221.225 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. 12:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why this article is up for deletion nor why the picture has been removed; Jennifer Allen is a performance artist influenced by Paul McCarthy, Franco B et al, graduating from Ruskin/St John's College Oxford, completing a masters at Goldsmiths all at the highest level achievable; her inclusion in 'New Contempories', Saatchi online, Charlie Smith Gallery, the Zabludowicz collections is surely notable. As Quilla Constance, Allen lectured recently at the University of Kent on the development of the Quilla Constance character and its simultaneous residence in Fine Art and Pop contexts; every single piece of information within the Wiki thus far is verifiable and ranges from trivial listings right through to Gallery performances, performance at the Blitz Club [along with Rusty Egan and Steve Strange], the Cobden Club [along with Sir Bob Geldof], appearance/interview on Resonance FM, Exhibitions, reviews, St Johns, Goldsmiths etc all listed within the article or via links, easily verifiable and currently occupying over 40 pages if you google 'quilla constance'. That some individuals have issues with Allen's practice is undeniable, however the majority who have seen Allen and her work recognise her to be an exciting, emergent talent worthy of Wiki inclusion. Inclusions in Wiki need to start somewhere. The fact that one of the authors appears to be a gallery manager in whose space Allen's work has been displayed is both unsurprising and relevant considering the outstanding performance at Decima given earlier in the year. The frieze article 'being Jennifer Allen' written by the similarly named art critic 'Jennifer Allen' gives substantial column space to this Jennifer Allen [Quilla Constance] numerous times. To consider this article for deletion on the grounds of notabilty, verifiability or bias is farcical. Just check the sources! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.73.190.34 (talk • contribs) 10:45, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm putting off coming to my own conclusion on the delete for now, but the nature of the sources on the article page and above needs to be mentioned. First, the content at Allinlondon and Spoonfed which is cited for the list of performances in the article are both user-generated: not significant coverage and the blurbs inserted into the references from these sites are simply promotional. Also, being a member of Equity does not contribute to one's notability: the subject of the article simply signed up, as any performing artist can, regardless of notability. The twice cited Frieze article above certainly does not give "substantial column space" to the subject or add to her notability anymore than it does the other people named "Jennifer Allen" alluded to in the article.

Ok- I'll look for more sources. Regarding Equity- you may not consider this notable but according to Equity- not any performer can join. The performer must have previously be contracted to perform at least four paid professional performance jobs. In regards to significant coverage...ok allinlondon and Spoonfed are listings, but what about the extensive coverage on the Saatchi site? This is an in-depth article by a renowned art critic and curator (Jane Neal)from the Courtauld Institute. In terms of the article in Frieze...Jennifer Allen and her video work is mentioned three times, and this is evident to those who are familiar with her work. Surely the fact that she's known to an art-critic from Frieze counts for something? Jennifer Allen, the art critic from Berlin is a regular contributer to Frieze. 80.177.221.225 (talk) 09:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC) Please see the coverage in the Saatchi magazine : http://magazine.saatchionline.com/magazine-articles/artnews/emerging_artist_of_the_week_je_2 80.177.221.225 (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC) Also, there's coverage in the Oxford Gazette in Review of one of Jennifer Allen's earlier shows at The Burton Taylor Theatre : http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/reviews/ballet/skins.htm 80.177.221.225 (talk) 09:32, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Taking to heart the concerned IPs' objections that this article should be judged not by the guidelines for band, music or entertainer, but according to "fine art notability" (above), I refer to WP:ARTIST, which the subject does not yet meet. The Saatchionline article is certainly something to be proud of, but most of the content concerns the simple act of performance (i.e. listings, announcements, often only a passing mention). It just doesn't add up to notability. Maybe after a few years, a few more substantial pieces dedicated to the actual criticism of work after the MFA. P.Oxy.2354 (talk) 09:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone rich can pay for PR companies to get press to write about stuff in abundance. It's a shame that this counts for notability over an artist who's actually doing something interesting... That's just my two cents worth. 80.177.221.225 (talk) 11:54, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In trying to reference this BLP, I've come up with very little. His guardian website profile verifies that he exists & writes for The Observer. It's possile there is some verifiable information in his own work, but I can't find any significant coverage of him in independent reliable sources.

- Comments - Be careful about suggesting that an editor has done things such as creating an article about himself if you don't have any evidence. Or if you do have evidence, always state what that evidence is.
- My main concern with the article is that its entire content was obviously created using an exceptionally poor online translation engine, and as a result, most of the text qualifies as WP: Patent Nonsense. The ideal would be to replace the current text with freshly researched and referenced info, but unfortunately, I can't find the article's subject in All Music Guide, and for obvious reasons an internet search for information on a musician known simply as "Red" would be insanely difficult.

- Keep - For about a decade CP '86 was a "notable" (in the broadest sense of the word) part of the development of the Dutch extreme right with its emphasis on racism and nationalism and inclination towards Neo-Nazism, until its views were found to be criminal by the Dutch courts.[18] The Volkskrant article which is the first reference in the article highlights Tim Mudde's role within the party (though Google Translate renders him as Treasurer rather than Party Secretary - the two titles may refer to the same function)[19]. Knowledge is important, even when its subject is miasmatous. But someone should be keeping an eye on the development of the article. Opbeith (talk) 08:25, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I don't know how authoritative a source [20] is as a reference for the article itself but certainly it's worth considering as background information for this discussion. By its name Antifascistische Onderzoeksgroep Kafka makes its political position quite clear but its analysis is sober and appears solidly researched.

No sources, and a quick Google search reveals that the great majority, if not all, of the websites describing this area do not satisfy WP:Reliable sourcing requirements. A lack of coordinates or more specific administrative information isn't helpful either.
Redirect to Yang Bin: Since the sources have been found, the information itself can be kept. However, it does not seem to have much merit as its own article, so re-directing should be the better course of action.—HXL's Roundtable and Record 00:19, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete especially due to unsubstantiated claims about a living person.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Yotemordis (talk • contribs) 23:04, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Keep, enough Google news hits on reliable sites to establish notability. --Lambiam 23:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- However it doesn't appear to be an official administrative division and seems only to be notable in the context of this aristocrat's career; at best this should be re-directed to him, but I am not ready to change my vote yet. —HXL's Roundtable and Record 01:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. In the first place, this is the name of a development, and not an administrative division. If this development was a contributing factor which led to the downfall of a significant businessman, than this article is probably notable, but I am not ready to offer a definite vote yet until I find out more.--Huaiwei (talk) 04:29, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Strongly disagree. Notable for being among the earliest Flash cartoons, and for being produced in Flash by non-technical types — people who had regular day jobs as window washers, stuntmen, etc. Had a passionate fan base in the early 2000s, one of the earliest fan bases for a Flash cartoon. Alien9542 (talk) 12:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the page? What?! This cartoon is a) amazing and b) plenty well known, and c) would be even more well known if there had been a new episode in the last 6 years. Way back when people were going nuts waiting for new episodes to come out. You don't go making feature length movies if you don't have a large fan base do you?

- Keep While there is not an enormous wealth of sourcing, the three sources I added (a borderline book reference, a Dutch newspaper article on flash games which begins with 3 paragraphs using Ninjai as an example, and a small article in Black Belt magazine), sum to reach the bar, in my view, of WP:GNG, --joe deckertalk to me 15:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination. Serbian TV station. Prodded on the grounds that it is a hoax, but that assertion is not supported by a Google search. However, Google doesn't support this TV network's notability either, but this may be due to the fact my search string was in the Latin alphabet, not the Cyrillic one. Neutral. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:01, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Tentative delete, I could not find any sources but that does not really mean anything because I could not figure out what an appropriate name in Cyrillic would be, so that is pretty meaningless. I did find some few indicators of non-notability though: (1) the Serbian Wikipedia has no article on the station and as Serbia is a small country it would seem a notable television station would have an article by now (2) an older version of this article has links to the articles for each show on the station and when translated they often write about which stations they appeared on, and this station is never included, so it seems this station is minor enough that its not worth noting that a show was broadcast on it (3) the website for the station is pretty skeezy (has "/erotic games/" like "/Office Virginity Loss/" and "/Ana Slutty Wife/" on the front page) and while that hardly precludes notability it seems likely that a major channel would not have a website like that. jorgenev 09:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Could this station be related to RTV Pink?--Milowent • talkblp-r 04:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly as an offshot, given that they give different inception dates in both articles, but before agreeing to a redirect I'd have to see evidence that they're indeed related. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 17:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. But after further looking I'm not sure there is any relation as "RTV" appears to be an abbreviation for 'radio-television' which seems to preface a number of serbian TV outlets, and apparently a number of serbian stations have played dubbed brazilian telenovelas. I'd love to know why that is!--Milowent • talkblp-r 18:21, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
