I had actually planned to nominate this a little while ago and I encountered it again today so here are: My searches found nothing to even suggest local notability with the the best results here, here, here and here. Thus it's simple to see there's no improvement for this sparsely edited article started by an IP in September 2005. SwisterTwister talk 23:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete it's a duplication of Coatepec which is a dab page, and "Coatepec (municipality)" is not a plausible search item, anybody who searches for "Coatepec" wouldn't know whether it is a village, a city, a town, a neighborhood, a district, a region, a state, a CDP, or a "municipality".

Secretary of one YMCA in Jamaica. Article currently has only one reference, which is a press release that doesn't even provide minimal coverage of the subject's life.

The result was Withdrawn. I'm convinced by the arguments given that a withdrawal is in order. While it seems a bit weak in terms of notability, I'm happy to comply with policy and consensus. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Gandhi Memorial Science College Ground (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)
While listed as having Jammu & Kashmir cricket team as home team, it really isn't (and that isn't enough reason by itself). This is a place that itself hasn't garnered enough media attention (via search) and isn't a geographical area, so it isn't automatically notable. I thought about redirecting, but Gandhi Memorial Science College is a redlink, so there is no logical place to redirect to. As a stand alone, I just don't see it passing WP:GNG nor being a valid exception. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 22:37, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Playing first class cricket is the WP:NCRIC notability guideline, so as this ground has hosted many first class cricket matches, that makes it notable in my opinion. The-Pope (talk) 03:21, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep As per The-Pope our guideline assumes notability for first-class cricket grounds. If an article is created for the College, a merge and redirect would probably make sense, but in the absence of that article, this one should be kept. Harrias talk 06:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: as per WP:NCRIC. Just to give an example, Wankhede Stadium is a world famous cricket stadium but very few people hardly knows who S. K. Wankhede is. His article is also stub. There is also a Nahar Singh Stadium but article on Nahar Singh was once nominated for AfD. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nahar Singh. So it does not matters if that college itself doesn't has article but ground associated with that college has hosted first class cricket matches and also a home ground of state level team so it deserves article. --Human3015Send WikiLove 10:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Coker is not a notable football player because he fails WP:NCOLLATH. There isn't anything on him that is "out of the ordinary" (ie: non-routine coverage). I would argue that even his Insight Bowl suspension would be routine, because there isn't significant, independent coverage of it (press releases aren't independent per WP:GNG.) Even then, it'd be a WP:BLP1E. Maybe one of these years, he could crack an NFL/CFL roster and become notable, but until then, there isn't enough on this person to make him notable. -- Tavix (talk) 21:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Keep. Barely passes WP:GNG, even if he doesn't pass WP:NCOLLATH. Some sources in the article are routine coverage, yes, but some are not: [1] [2] [3]. In addition to those, I've found the following sources that are significant: [4] [5] [6]. Most of these focus on Coker, not the team. ~ RobTalk 10:13, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Week Keep per Rob. I deprodded it thinking he was notable, and still plieve he passes GNG, if barely so. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 16:17, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - I was contemplating a "delete" !vote for this subject until I saw Rob's linked sources above, five significant articles in which Coker is the primary subject in three different regional newspapers (i.e. independent sources): Baltimore Sun, Newsday and Des Moines Register. This satisfies the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:13, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. I originally came across this when it was a userspace draft directly moved (without review) into article space without the {{userspace draft}} tag being removed. I think I became aware of it as a result of the author asking for help on how to remove it from either the RefDesk or the IRC help channel (I can't remember anymore). Either way, I couldn't find evidence of notability earlier, and I still can't find evidence of notability now. The company may not even exist anymore (if it ever did). -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 06:03, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Non-notable person. Whittet is indeed a producer of several films (three listed at IMDb), but none of them appear to be notable films. The text is unclear as to whether Whittet's film Amiri & Aroha or its star Shayne Biddle was the winner of the 2012 Prestige Award, but neither fact would really bolster any notability as the Prestige Award appears to be largely a "pay to be recognized" type of award. The claim that Whittet is the first New Zealand doctor to have won the prestigious WONCA Award for family medicine is not verified by the cited source (which is a broken link), nor is their any indication at WONCA's website that they present any such award.

- Comment My note about the Prestige Award is based on their own website, which explicitly states: "Our goal is to help you promote your work." That's not the usual rhetoric of film awards. This one does not seem to be very notable. Nor does the WONCA award. The bottom line is that there are no sources of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.

This institute is not only "old" but also founded by "ambassador of Saudi Arabia" and more significant is that it is established in Varanasi which is known as "heart of Hinduism".

Completing nomination for IP editor, whose rationale (from WT:AFD) is reproduced below. On the merits, I have no opinion. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:38, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
The article Health Service Culture:
- Consists mostly of direct quotations from different sources that simply define the relevant sense of "culture"
- Contains only a few sentences that relate to health services
- Has been edited less than 20 times altogether, the last time in 2012
- Does not meet Wikipedia's style guidelines
and, most important,
- Does not contain anything saying why culture in a health-service organization needs to be treated separately from culture of other kinds of organization.
I suggest that the subject is non-notable and therefore the article should be deleted; but as I am not a registered Wikipedia user (and am not going to become one), it will need someone else to agree with me and start the process. If, on the other hand, there is a consensus to keep it, then it needs a lot of improvement.

A non-notable digital marketing agency. The sources seem like they might establish notability under WP:GNG and WP:CORP, but they really don't...
Sources 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 11 are simply passing mentions rather than the "significant coverage" required by the GNG. The first source simply notes that a man who works at the company is competing in an Ironman Triathlon competition: that's sadly representative of the quality of sourcing.
Some sources are simply rewritten press releases: 3, 6, 9, 10 and 16.
Sources 8, 18, 19, 20 and 24 are self-published on the company's site.
Sources 12, 13, 14 and 15 are "guest blogs", which means they are also basically self-published.
Source 17 shows that the company is a Google partner. That isn't in any way notable, just promotional filler.
Source 21, 22 and 23 are industry awards.
While I shall assume good faith and not say definitively whether it was created as promotional spam, a relatively new account that does some minor WikiGnoming before writing an article about a marketing agency doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in me that this isn't paid editing. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:34, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep as per notability criteria. Sources 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 11 are not all just passing mentions but Koozai is cited and multiple mentions in a no. of sources including Time, BBC shows enough notability for a digital marketing agency. I am not sure about the unreliability about guest blogs as such posts requires to comply with website's own policy and it is usual that experts in relevant domains are requested to do so and all those websites are notable and have their own articles on English Wikipedia. I also do not think independent sources like the Guardian, BBC or Daily Mail etc. will put press releases in their news. Source 21, 22 and 23 are industry awards and those awards indicates notability. Self-published sources are used as per WP:SELFPUB. Thank you.Dendsoli (talk) 18:16, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

- Please, check my rationale posted above. They all are not passing mentions. The subject is widely covered in third party independent sources which easily passes the primary criteria, WP:ORGIND etc. One can check news sources and Google Scholar results. Besides, the company has own several awards which shows notability and I think my edit count has nothing to do with this AFD. Thanks, Dendsoli (talk) 17:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete The better sources are passing comments which do not establish WP notability for the company itself, (though it may be known 'within the trade'). The Guardian piece is written BY someone at Koozai, rather than being about Koozai. The tone is relatively promotional, which does not help (Why say it was featured in XYZ, rather than saying what was said about it by XYZ?). This could be a case of TOOSOON, but for now that means 'delete'.Pincrete (talk) 09:42, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- With due respect I disagree with your rationale. The company is being referred in multiple independent reliable sources like BBC, Daily Mail, Time, Daily Telegraph etc. Their views/comments have been published in independent reliable sources. If Koozai is not a notable company in SEO field then why would the news sources refer them or even quote their comments? Google news sources returning many independent sources about Koozai[8] which can be added in the article. The company has own several awards which also indicates notability. If the article's tone is promotional then I can tone down the promotional wordings. Can you please, help in this? Regards, Dendsoli (talk) 14:05, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Please, note that their survey on "small-to-medium-sized enterprises" is noteworthy and has received wide coverages by independent reliable sources like The BBC, Telegraph, The Guardian etc. Also, this Guardian news piece is not written by anyone from Koozai.

This member has no significant solo work outside of work he has done with his group so this page is not necessary at this time.his solo music career in most time is featured other artist (cameo) and no main artist in solo music activity For example solo mini album or studio album or Songs with chart and does not Activities outside the group As an actor ,main cast member in variety show.Furthermore it has information that is not notable enough to be included on a normal artist page.I believe the page should be removed or redirect to Bangtan Boys page.(Pikhmikh (talk) 22:30, 24 July 2015 (UTC))
- Keep I believe this member does have significant solo work outside his group. His collaborations do not necessarily mean he is not the main artist. Some collaborations in this case are more of a partnership, cue the example with the one with Warren G and Krizz Kaliko, who are also highly respected musicians. I'm sorry I cant make out what you said about the solo mini album or actor part, but RM mixtape is a significant solo project as it doesn't involve the other group members and received sufficient coverage in the sources found on the references section. He may not be an actor, but he is a main cast member in a variety show, and also has an endorsement deal. And all this does not have anything to do with the other members of BTS.

Yeah there is some media coverage, but allkpop and soompi are not reliable sources and the guideline for sources is that it can't be the artist talking about themselves and the articles cannot be reworded press releases, which currently account for a lot of the sources cited.

- Actually now that i think about it I guess redirecting would be a good idea, if this page really isnt fit for being an article by the community. If so, I think rap monster would get notable soon just not now, but it will be a little of a hassle to dig the article out again from deleted articles when reliable sources do show up. So in a way, I agree with your suggestion about the redirection, as it may be a better way to temporarily get rid of the article until the time is write if this page really isnt fit.

Reliability of some of the sources as being non-credible is by opinion and not WP consensus. That's a debate that should be addressed aside from this article and without bias to this bio.

- Keep per the coverage here in Lifehacker, here in TechRepublic, here in stadt-bremerhaven.de, and here in Softpedia. Since Softpedia allows users to download SharpEnviro for free, I don't think it can be disqualified as a source for having a conflict of interest in trying to sell the download.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow SharpEnviro to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

- Delete - Software article of unclear notability. While the Lifehacker ref is significant RS coverage, this appears to be the only significant RS coverage of this discontinued OS interface. As it is discontinued, it is unlikely that any better coverage will be written. The techrepublic coverage is too brief, only a few sentences part of a list of software. stadt-bremerhaven.de/ is a blog and does not appear to be RS. Download sites are typically excluded from notability consideration because they have a financial interest in promoting the product even when it is offered for free.Dialectric (talk) 04:03, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- At Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources/Archive 5#Softpedia, an editor wrote in April 2012 summarizing Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard discussions about Softpedia, "It seems that there has been very little or no discussion on this source since 2010. At that time the general consensus favored the source as reliable."
Another editor wrote: "Situationally reliable - Everything published with editorial oversight (i.e. with a staff name attached) should be treated as reliable, but everything else on the site should be considered self-published. Also, reviews should not be used as a source of notability because some of them are done upon request."
The Softpedia review of SharpEnviro was published with the staff name Madalina Boboc attached. The page was last updated August 23, 2014. And an Archive.org link of the page from January 2014 doesn't have the review, indicating that it was not added until between January 2014 and August 2014. SharpEnviro was discontinued November 2011. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that someone asked Softpedia for a review.
Since SharpEnviro is free, I don't see how Softpedia's allowing people to download this open-source program makes a Softpedia review unreliable or unusable in establishing notability.

Karateka who fails both WP:MANOTE and GNG. Passing mentions in some tournament results and competing against some well known fighters is not enough to show notability.

All signs suggest this fabricated with my searches finding nothing but mirrors and no connection at all with the book. What's more is this sparsely edited article has existed since July 2005 when it was started by an IP from Los Angeles who also made a few edits to Theta Xi and not only are the majority of editors IPs, there hasn't even been much change since 2005 which is another serious sign. Yet another interesting tidbit is that the article has never gotten Lousiana attention and is orphaned from any other articles.

- Delete. This appears to be a hoax. In light of the article's claims, it's worrisome that this would have been able to evade scrutiny for so long. There is an authentic and prominent New Orleans jazz musician from this time period, John Robichaux, who has been listed as Jack Robichaux at least once in serious sources; this Harvard Magazine story describes the real Robichaux as "trained in the classical European conservatory style" and a contemporary of Buddy Bolden. But there is absolutely no evidence of the allegations mentioned in the article. The name "Robichaux" appears nowhere in Waldrep & Nieman's Local matters: Race, crime, and justice in the nineteenth-century South, so this is clearly a false reference. The article has also been extensively vandalized over the years. It's possible that the hoax originated as some sort of fraternity prank. Whatever the origin, it needs to go. At 10-plus years, this would be the longest-lived hoax on Wikipedia known so far. Calamondin12 (talk) 18:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

There are plenty of academic studies where the "dark triad" is identified collectively eg as dark triadic traits: https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=%22Dark+triad%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0CB4QgQMwAGoVChMIsY7-mK3JxwIVA0bbCh0QXgnO.

- My ideal would be a merge to personality disorder (or maybe narcissistic personality disorder). If you look at the DSM IV criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, you'll note that two of the three "dark triad" are present, and that psychopathy is linked with ASPD (which aligns with NPD in the cluster B spectrum. Looking at google scholar, there seem to be 2-3 principal researchers on this topic whose names come up over and over, and little in the way of secondary/independent/review articles. The overlap is large and dark triad and narcissism are almost always discussed together. Some of the dark triad article was OR padding (which I have removed but will no doubt creep back in over time) and much is covered elsewhere. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:38, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Yes maybe this article does require some clean up, but https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=%22Dark+triad%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0CB4QgQMwAGoVChMIsY7-mK3JxwIVA0bbCh0QXgnO tells you of the veracity of the subject and it is not just 2 or 3 researchers. The poor state of an article is not in itself a reason to delete it. The idea of merging with personality disorder is a complete non-starter:
- Machiavellianism not recognised as a PD
- psychopathy not the same as ASPD
- narcissism not necessarily NPD - it could just as easily refer to narcissism at the subclinical trait level.
- --Penbat (talk) 13:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- (a) I didn't say only 1-2 researchers, papers are done with assistants, trainees etc, but there are a few names overlapping a helluvalot. (b) Machiavellianism is a trait, traits are not PDs as such. Instead it aligns with criterion 6 of NPD "Is inter-personally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends." pretty damn closely, I'd say. (c) psychopathy is not strictly synonymous with ASPD, but I was pointing out the overlap. (d) one is a trait of the other - well, the two haev a complex relationship. Really we should have fewer and broader articles where these entities can be presented in a holistic and spectrumy way rather than false subdivisions. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:59, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Like it or not, many researchers have found enough commonality between the 3 dark triad components to study them as a collective entity. It would be seriously confusing merging them with PDs which anyway are at the pathological level not the trait level. I personally dont see that dark triad correlates more strongly to narcissism than the other 2.--Penbat (talk) 14:13, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: Sounds like you just gave the article a cursory glance as it stands. Did you not look at Google Scholar ? The fact that an article contains OR (which is arguable) is not in itself a reason for deleting it.--Penbat (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- (non-expert comment) Keep if somebody can provide cleanup and WP:Stewardship. I have a hard time imagining that the many dozens of tightly focused sources at Google Scholar could be handled without a dedicated article. The problem, if I may be frank, is that (per Web searches) the term seems to have gained a lot of currency among Internet communities who are often problematic for Wikipedia: self-identified trolls, pickup artists, and so on. See http://metareddit.com/r/DarkTriad/. Consequently, the article needs some editors who understand psychology, and WP, well enough to keep everything under control. FourViolas (talk) 15:15, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: OK, I concentrate on Wiki psychology articles and a sizable proportion (maybe 30%) are seriously inadequate and need beefing up. Yes this article does need work based on reliable sources from Google Scholar but there are many psychology articles in a worse state. Not too sure what your point is about junk like http://metareddit.com/r/DarkTriad. Obviously it would not be suitable as a reliable source. I would love WP:Stewardship for many psychology articles on Wikipedia but very few suitable people exist. I have tried to point Wikipedia psychology articles in the direction of academics with little success. I have put "expert help required" banners in psychology articles and nobody has responded years later. I'm happy to do what I can to beef this article up myself tho.--Penbat (talk) 16:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, or merge per Casliber. The nom's apparent contention that the whole concept is OR or dubious seems just wrong. A merge might be best, but may not be a pressing need. Johnbod (talk) 17:09, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per Penbat. My search also yields multiple reliable sources, such as European Journal of Personality, Review of General Psychology, Personality and Individual Differences. The article may benefit from some tweaks though. Brandmeistertalk 17:36, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. Agree with Penbat. The Dark Triad as a named concept is more than 10 years old (e.g. see this article http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/spc3.12018/abstract?userIsAuthenticated=false&deniedAccessCustomisedMessage= ) and has been the subject of many independent studies. Furthermore, the concept is distinct from personality disorder, as it was developed to study personality variation in non-clinical populations. The claim by Cas Liber that the concept represents a "false subdivision" would appear to be his own opinion and therefore OR. The dark triad is a topic that academics have chosen to research in its own right. Of course it is related to other topics in psychology, but this does not mean individual editors should impose their own preferred categorisation schemes on existing topics that are recognised by experts in the field as worthy of distinct study. --Smcg8374 (talk) 04:07, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep-- this article has at least 2 reliable sources and therefore is notable. Deletion is not a substitutef or suitable cleanup. Matthew Ferguson (talk) 16:22, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. The term appears to be treated by many academics as a discrete concept from personality disorder. In fact, it appears that some evolutionary psychologists don't even consider the traits to necessarily be a "personality disorder" since men and women with these traits have often been crisis survivors, risk takers, leaders, and change-makers throughout history, as well as more reproductively successful, which may account for the evidence in several academic studies that women often feel stronger sexual attraction to men who exhibit these traits. Anyway, per Penbat and Smcg, the sources support having this as a separate article. Cla68 (talk) 09:58, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

This sits on the fence when it comes to notability. Since this page has been last edited, Aljaz could be considered notable by climbing an iceberg, which has been reported by the press on multiple occasions. Yet, there is a catch: the YouTube video which has been used by these news outlets is made for GoPro for publicity about 4K footage and not for the two men themselves.

Are data sheets within the remit of an encyclopedia? This page, and others like it, contains detailed chemical data which is too large to fit in the parent article. To me, this violates WP:NOT: "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", specifically, the excessive listings of statistics. I would not object to moving these data somewhere outside of article space, and I suggested such a move in 2012 which met with little interest from the editors at WikiProject Chemicals. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 15:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe the issue is that the Chembox can become massive. To keep the size manageable on the main article page, data pages were conceived as a solution. If we delete this chemical data page there will be many other data pages to delete as well under this reasoning (e.g. Caffeine (data page), Ethanol (data page)). Sizeofint (talk) 15:34, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Are there not external collections of these data that you could link to? I know for proteins, there are plenty of databases for this kind of thing. Are these data really essential to understanding the main article? I realize that more pages will need to be deleted if my argument is valid, I'm treating this as a kind of test case, if this ends as a snow keep, I won't nominate the rest. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 15:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I can't remember now where the last discussion about these happened, but IIRC the result was to wait till wikidata can handle input with units and then move the information there, no? So the existing data pages should continue to exist as-is till the infrastructure and motivation exist for a migration, unless a particular data page contains unfixable errors or needs deletion for some other reason. Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:59, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I looked in archives from the chemistry and chemicals wikiprojects as well as AfD, is there anywhere else the discussion could have been? Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 09:25, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'm definitely thinking of a 2015 conversation, but I can't remember where it occurred. Possibly on the talk page of an article with a data page. In any case, I agree with what I posted, or possibly only intended to post, in the conversation I can't find :) Most of these have have existed unproblematically since 2005-6, there's a more accessible solution arriving in the near future, compliance with some WP:TLA for compliance's sake is a waste of effort. Opabinia regalis (talk) 08:50, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- WP:NOT is not just some TLA, it is among the most important content policies we have, I see no need to ignore it here. If there is a prospect of the data being transferred, move it to a talk subpage. I don't see why that option isn't a win-win, you get to keep the data for future transfer, we all get to keep non-encyclopedic pages outside article space. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 20:53, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Well, it's not indiscriminate. It's on its own page only for technical reasons. And we exclude 'indiscriminate collections of information' for good reasons that don't apply here. This argument sounds like trying to enforce a rule for enforcement's sake, never mind whether it actually applies or matters. Opabinia regalis (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- If you think WP:NOT does not apply, where are the context with explanations that that policy says should accompany data?

Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 07:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- WP:INDISCRIMINATE says "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader. In cases where this may be necessary, (e.g. Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2012), consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists." The article linked has basically the same amount of explanation as the page in question. shoy (reactions) 12:42, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- I have a couple of points about that. The data in the article you linked is all of the same kind, they are all opinion polls for the same election, a single explanation is sufficient. In this article, there are at least 15 different kinds of data. The lay reader does not need an explanation about what an opinion poll is. The lay reader certainly does need an explanation about what self ionization etc. is. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 09:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep, I am not convinced that deletion is OK for reason of WP:NOT. WP:DISCRIMINATE gives a nice background for this argument (concluding into 'keep' here, IMO). The data is quite structured. And this being water, such lots of data may be relevant. With this, I think the data is encyclopedic (while one could consider improvement of the page). Now for practical reasons, mostly web-originated, the data is not added to the main article. That is, we have not found a sound way to manage such a big page by web means. We could use improvements in this (i.e., high end webpage design guidelines). -DePiep (talk) 13:56, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- I have to say, I strongly disagree that this page is encyclopedic, the data might be encyclopedic if it was accompanied by prose discussing it and the context for it as part of an article. We have to accept that not all information about a subject can fit within its article, the solution to this is not to create a dump for such data. No other subject area does this.
- WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE says : "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." There are no explanations or context here, the only prose is explaining units and a few sentences at the lead. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 14:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- It is a sub-page. Why would that require being "accompanied by prose"? (now this is what I would call an indiscriminate requirement, btw). We do not require "accompanying prose" for an infobox either. -DePiep (talk) 22:24, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Because that is what our policy at WP:NOT says, "context with explanations" implies prose. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 22:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Only few of these are mentioned in the prose (and of course there is the wikilink in the lefthand word, which is canceled out for imo obvious reasons). The testing question is: Would you claim the dozens of not-mentioned data rows are non-encyclopedic too and should be removed? (or, a different approach, what about if we move the "triple point" from the data page to the infobox?). -DePiep (talk)
- Are you talking about Properties of water? Water doesn't have an infobox. There are going to be non explained items in most infoboxes, most of these will be self-explanatory, we don't need to explain melting and boiling points because the lay reader would be expected to understand what those mean. The triple point is explained in Properties of water, I would have no problem moving that data there. Ideally, items that are not self-explanatory to the layman should have explanations in the text. If that is not the case, I would not immediately delete that data. I don't really have a problem with a couple of unexplained items inside an infobox if editors think the information is important, in that case, a link to an article discussing, for example, Magnetic susceptibility is probably sufficient. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 08:45, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
- re: "Are you talking about [[Properties of water]]"? - Yes I do. One of my core questions is: how or why would is matter when a data fact is in page '.. (data page)' or in the main page?

There are no explanations or context here, the only prose is explaining units and a few sentences at the lead. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 14:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - I for one regularly look up material properties from the infoboxes on wikipedia pages and I think it's obvious that an article discussing a material or chemical compound should list the most important material properties of that compound. Water is a special case, since its material properties are known and used in so much more detail that they wouldn't fit on an infobox. I have always thought that this data-page construct was a good way to deal with the massive amount of available material properties. At least, I have used this page many times over the years.

Unfortunately I was unable to find enough reliable coverage for this clothing brand. A search revealed mostly false positives, with the only hits of note being a partnership with DJ Lady Duracell (who herself does not have a Wikipedia entry). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:13, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Although DJ Lady Duracell does not have a Wikipedia entry at the moment, she is frequently top 10 in the podomatic deep house music charts, and has many sources to prove that she is a well known DJ. Her official website and social media networks also have consistent updates supporting the Jack Fresh brand regularly.Yas at NewMatter (talk) 14:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per the nominator's reason. The page had been speedy deleted once as promotional(which I nominated) as there seemed to be few sources(as the nominator found themselves). There seems to be little that is remarkable about this. 331dot (talk) 20:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
When DJ Lady Duracell started using the term Jack Fresh, I wanted to know more, if you are unaware; she was voted 57th best DJ in the world and 15th best DJ in the UK by SheJay magazine. She has also had music in the HMV music store, and is regularly top 10 in the podomatic charts.
When she started saying Jack Fresh a few months ago, I and others wanted to know what she meant; after doing research, I decide to create a Wikipedia page.
Yes, the previous page created was deleted for not following guidelines, the page was not created from a natural point of view, and had too many links, I did not dispute the fact, or the reason for the deletion. Instead I took a look at the guidelines, striped the page of its links that were considered promotional, and have produced this new article.
Now that I am dedicated to the maintenance of this page, and will work on a DJ Lady Duracell page soon, I would prefer you guide me in the right direction, so, I don’t waste any more of your time.
At the moment the only problem seems to be not enough sources, however, the sources I have given can be viewed by the public, and I will edit the page to provide better links or more links within the next few days, all information is verifiable via DJ Lady Duracell, & via the brands official website, other independent sources have also spoken about this clothing brand.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as-yet-unelected candidate in a future election. As always, this is not a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NPOL — if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article before he became a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election.

- Keep - Someone could very well be virtually unknown for anything except as being a political candidate and still be notable, ask Vermin Supreme, Deez Nuts, and Gloria La Riva among many others. Anyways, candidate Gray seems to have gotten reliable source coverage even if his article right now needs work (covered by the likes of NPR and the Mississippi Business Journal among others). CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:12, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- All of those were candidates for President of the United States, and thus inhabit a completely different universe of sourceability than an unelected candidate for a state-level office — and both Vermin Supreme and La Riva do contain some evidence of notability for something besides their candidacy itself. Deez Nuts not so much, I admit — I still maintain that people in that AFD confused temporary newsiness with enduring notability.

Of course, notability of an individual is independent of whether a WP article describing the individual does an adequate job of documenting this aspect.

- Delete I'm not seeing notability, I'm not seeing sources and I'm not even seeing a convincing argument based on citations. If there was more content here explaining why his work was significant, I might be swayed. As it it though, three papers with over 300 cites is worthy of further study, might build into something that looks like an article, but it's not alone a pass for "Google says notable, therefore notable". Andy Dingley (talk) 17:18, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not going to belabor the point (since the article is certain to be kept), but it is worth explaining a subtlety that seems to be lost here. It is not "Google says notable". Rather, Google is the documentation of over 4,000 independent citations and it is the latter that says "notable". It is also worth noting that this level of impact far surpasses the rough threshold that has been established over hundreds of AfDs over the past several years. Finally, AfD is not touch-up. All we are debating here is the notability of the subject, who is notable whether the article says so or not. We should direct our collective energies into expanding the article, because it's a done-deal that the article will be retained. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 17:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC).
- 4000 citations is pretty standard fare for a full time academic. I've just run my Facebook friends list through Gooogle scholar and they split into <50 (non academics and graduates) and 4,000-8,000 for those who do publish. I'm at 200 myself and I haven't published anything for 10 years. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- 4,000 citations is not at all standard. The vast majority of published papers have very low (<10 citations), e.g. about half published since 1900 have never been cited. Because most academics do not publish more than 1 paper a year, citations for an average prof are pretty low. Through hundreds of AfDs, we've arrived at several rough thresholds for assess academics' notability by the impact of their work (WP:PROF criterion 1) and Vilathgamuwa far exceeds all of them, e.g. his h-index of 39 is far above the average academic value of 10 to 15, total citations of 4,000 far above the average of a few hundred, etc. Perhaps you should consider creating articles for those high-citation friends of yours. ;-) Agricola44 (talk) 21:47, 26 August 2015 (UTC).
- I wouldn't wish outing via WP on anyone.
- Professors gain a boosted citation count because they're listed on a lot of papers they had a "supervisory" role in, also because politics often encourage political citation of a nearby academic's work. For judging notability, I'd be wary to count papers with fewer than 200 citations to them. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:03, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- If you have evidence that substantial gratuitous authorship or courtesy citation have occurred in this particular case, then please throw off the veil and lay out the evidence. It could change the opinion of the "keeps" (it certainly has done so in many past AfDs with which I'm familiar.) Conversely, if you're speaking in general terms, then I would agree that both these things happen, but would submit that they are irrelevant to this case. PS: I'm sorry that you see creating a new article on a notable person as "outing" them. I guess there'd be no bios if we all had that frame of mind. Agricola44 (talk) 04:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC).

- WP:PORNBIO/BIO in intro say " It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply" - for me (in the form of generally), this person are notable: too many nominations to awards (no only two or three), many interwiki, well known etc etc. Gene93k, other users may vote differently than you, you may not agree or do not like arguments by other users but please stop trolling posts by other users.

- Just give up on porn AFD's Subtropical it's not worth the time. She may have 14 nominations of the top two awards in her profession but it's porn so it is not taken seriously. It's obvious the mainstream media won't report on them and since their own magazines don't count (they're "promotional") and they are typically the only ones to report on them probably less then 75 porn people would qualify under these requirements, and they will probably get stricter too.

- One Direction members don't even qualify for wiki. Play 5 minutes of a pro sports match and you're in though (Which funnily enough made Louis Tomlinson qualify.). We will only have actors who win the Academy Award for Best Actor next. How about this guy, Joseph Kszyczewiski?. Since porn is sex which everyone does, it make it seem like it's top awards are a joke (even though they mainly base it off work ethic/how much got done in the year plus who get's the most attention), that's why stuff like internet memes/youtubers/reality stars/beauty pageants/porn/criminals/death metal/pro gaming/diplomats/soap operas (occupations with negative reputations) things that working class/women/teenagers are normally fans of or are seen as repugnant (criminals) have a harder time qualifying.
- One Direction is another example, it has a primarily teenage girl fanbase so it's members (only two now do) fail WP:Band even though they are the biggest band in the world for the last 3 years. But if you play bass in a 80s rock band for one year before they got gigantic you're in. Anything that does not apply to High culture is generally not respected by editor's on here. Something like Billboard (magazine) is accepted as a reliable source as pop music has a favorable view but since porn is seen negatively (morally wrong) AVN (magazine) is seen as unreliable/promotional, it has higher standards. I've done a test on this and have viewed about 10, 000 biographies which i have a list of and the majority of people in occupations which are negatively seen are nominated for deletion/merged/re-directed. It's unfair on occupations to rely on New York Times/Forbes etc for interviews, that's why we rely on trade magazines who normally report on the top people in their field. In this case AVN does not generally report on people who have shot 5 amateur scenes in their basement. Name me a field where if you get 14 nominations in the top two awards (Like the academy/golden globes) of your industry you do not qualify for an article.
- Here's an example Maddy O'Reilly has gotten more media attention then Rebecca Morris or Guy Cook but who do you think will have a harder/stricter time passing and which is most likely to be nominated for deletion? Oh well, porn stars are just some T&A apparently ;). Hell even the Corey Worthington debates proved this, if it was a acadamic who got that level of attention for the exact same thing it would have stayed and that one event guideline would have not been brought up.
- As a closing statement checkout this [[11]] a youtube star which as a career is seen as a much more deserving occupation then pornography and a person who has the same-ish small coverage as London Keyes (one article in the guardian would not qualify London for some people) , yet big difference in some people's word's. This guy is the same [[12]] hugely repugnant occupation but certainly should have an entry as it was major news on 3 continents, but look at some of the opposition, fortunately people came to their senses but it proves that a small bias is in all of us.

- Delete - No coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, multiple nominations for porn awards is a deprecated criteria of WP:PORNBIO, thus cannot be used to meet the project's notability threshold. Subtropical Man's vote can be ignored as it runs counter to established community norms on notability and inclusion criteria, as can "Hillary Scott`love"'s as "keep it's notable" is a a wrong argument to make in an deletion discussion.

- Delete - Subject does not, in fact, meet either the notability guide or WP:PORNBIO. Multiple nominations plus a scene-related award do not count, as pornbio quite clearly states....one does not make an apple into a banana by simply painting it yellow. Next, the sources for the subject are largely porn industry news and press releases, e.g. announcements of roles and of nominations. The one possibility is the interview in something called the "Beverly Hills Outlook", but whatever this is...tabloid, local news, or whatnot I have thus been unable to discover, as it no longer exists. If we give it the benefit of the doubt, then that is just one reliable source, whereas the project's notability threshold is in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Tarc (talk) 14:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

(en-2) 19:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC) - Comment. The level of dialogue in these discussions is devolving. If people could elaborate on their reasoning, it would be helpful. @Subtropical-man: Merely voting "keep per above" is frowned upon. @Davey2010: You seem to have been copy/pasting "Delete as per nom - fails PORNBIO & GNG" into every pornstar AfD brought up by this nominator, making it seem like you are playing WP:WHACKAMOLE. Can you explain why you feel this person fails PORNBIO? Specifically why her many mainstream film appearances, a few of which I mentioned in my vote above, do not meet criterion 3 of PORNBIO, as I claimed they do? --Sammy1339 (talk) 19:51, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not going to come up with a different !vote for each AFD am I ? ... If they pass or fail whatever guideline then I'll obviously state that, As for the Pornbio - She seems to have been a minor character one film and the rest all are IMHO non-notable so I believe she fails PORNBIO. –Davey2010Talk 20:35, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't know that she actually appeared in the The Big Lebowski. Also, PORNBIO mentions that one has to have "been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media"...uncredited roles really aren't being "featured" at all. Guy1890 (talk) 07:03, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Reliable sources do not cover the subject in any fashion. "Sammy1339"'s assertion that the subject meets pornbio criteria #3 is easily refuted; between appearances in "Nasty Girls Masturbating 8" and "Blowjob Adventures of Dr. Fellatio 7", Ms. Lick's appearances in "notable mainstream films" are minor minor characters, background roles and uncredited appearances. Orgazmo is "Special Appearance", "Bikini Planet" (a non-notable softcore film which I will be nominating for AfD shortly, unless sources are found to support it) is 14th billing, the Big Lebowski" was unsupported and has been removed from the article, and finally "Homo Erectus" list her as Amazon Woman (uncredited). This debunking renders Subtropical Man's "per Sammy" vote null & void as well. Tarc (talk) 14:10, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- If you look in the article, you'll find she has many appearances in film and television, too many to bother listing here. It can be argued that uncredited appearances don't qualify, but even without those (The Big Lebowski and 8MM), she passes criterion 3 by a mile. I also don't know why you listed a couple pornographic titles that have no relevance here. That seems like a straw man. (Also, Bikini Planet is a parody of softcore movies, not a porno itself.) --Sammy1339 (talk) 15:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Is there a particular reason that you continue to distort and misrepresent the subject's film roles, i.e. pumping them up beyond what they actually are? Do you think other editors here are too dumb or in too much of a hurry to go check for themselves? The handful of non-pornographic roles that this person has had are bit parts or uncredited appearances. When WP:PORNBIO criteria #3 states, "been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media", are you familiar with the definition of the word "featured"do you know what that means ? It does not mean 14th billing. It does not mean uncredited cameos. It means the the person was credited as part of the main cast, that she had a prominent role in the film. This person has never been the featured actress in a notable, non-porno film. Tarc (talk) 17:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Tarc, please be aware that civility, while rare, is required. Your comments, here and elsewhere, are nearly always hostile or derogatory. As for the subject matter, you are discounting her many television appearances. --Sammy1339 (talk) 17:49, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Pointing out that you are misrepresenting sources is not an uncivil act; if you do not wish to be called out for making bad arguments, then it would behoove you to, y'know, stop making bad arguments. The subject's tv appearances consist of one softcore porn film and several bit parts in softcore porn shows. So please, show us the reliable sources that cover Ms. Lick for these roles. All ears. Tarc (talk) 19:26, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails PORNBIO with only bit-part mainstream appearances. Tarc is right. Appeared in (uncredited, Naked woman 2, 14th billed, etc.) does not reach the "featured in" criterion in PORNBIO.

Recreated article, deleted few months ago through PROD. Concern remains the same: "he coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement." Setting aside the dubious notability of their games, the company has no notability itself - no dedicated, reliable sources focus on it.

- Delete lots of books [30], but I cannot replicate User:Coolabahapple findings. My search on Horn Book turned up nothing [31]. User:Coolabahapple first link, from the the highly reputable School Library Journal is deeply unpersuasive [32]. Binns appears to be in a category of writers of children's books who crank out non-fiction titles to meet a demand from school libraries for "new" books that regurgitate old material about popular grade school assignment topics, like early women doctors, and the White House. And she appears in online lists of such books. If someone can find reviews of her work, flag me. But I'm seeing no notability here.

Certainly fails PORNBIO, also fails GNG because of WP:ROUTINE and WP:SENSATION which say that tabloid journalism doesn't add up to notability. I just can't see anything else than run-of-the-mill here: poor girl gets some odd job, discovers she looks good, makes money dancing on the table, appears in men's magazines, drifts into porn, and dies of cancer while the salivating crowd is looking on, yawn...

Article came to my attention when its existence was used as justification to keep the Milbert Amplifiers article in the ongoing AfD.

- Keep, meritless autopilot nomination just as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Miss Universe editions. This is nothing but an index list of the individual pageants, all of which have articles, with annotations for dates, venues, and the number of competitors. Really basic facts, not "fancruft". postdlf (talk) 01:23, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- I love your bad faith about this nomination that sounds rather pointy. Perhaps I should not have named it fancruft but WP:LISTCRUFT. The Banner talk 09:59, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- I can only judge your nomination on what you've written, which is not much at all here, and nothing that actually shows consideration of this list's specific content. You've nominated a whole host of pageant related articles recently, many of which have merited deletion because the pageants themselves are not notable or the information is trivial. But this one is easily distinguishable as I have explained. And no, swapping "listcruft" for "fancruft" would not make your nomination any more substantive or less of a WP:VAGUEWAVE. postdlf (talk) 14:45, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

It seems this existed at some point or may actually continue to exist as results such as these confirm its stock exchange markets and there's a little info at Reuters, Bloomberg and WSJ but my searches found nothing better than a few Books results. It's worth noting the first external link is now closed and the second one (which can also be found with a basic browser search) never shows despite loading for eternity. There's also no evidence of Chinese sources or a Chinese name so I hope this can attract some attention (whether it can be improved or not) as this has existed since September 2006 with hardly any edits since then (all editors have actually since ceased to edit excluding bots).

This seems like a rather obvious case of non-notability and the history and content suggest this was for personal promotion purposes (whether intended or not). My searches found nothing to suggest improvement with my best search results here and here and searches at Nigerian sources This Day Live, Vanguard, The Tide, The Punch (aside from what appears to be a passing mention here), Business Day and The Guardian (among other Nigerian news attempts as well). I simply don't see any improvement here and it appears unlikely her publication, event and beauty store are notable. SwisterTwister talk 03:10, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

- Should we have the Hello World article? If so, then we need this list – even if for no other reason that to stop the useful article accumulating that same list yet again. As a list, this is manageable (even if it's not the greatest contribution to human knowledge ever) and it prevents a real loss of quality elsewhere.

- @Andy Dingley: A Hello World program article should exist if it is notable; discussion of that can be elsewhere. Is there precedent for keeping pages to be a sink for low quality contributions to the benefit of another page or ease of maintenance? An arbitrary example of code for a Hello World program in an arbitrary language is not intrinsically notable. It may be that consensus could be reached for a basis for determining whether a specific example has extrinsic notability. For nearly all of the examples on existing page/list, there is no source/reference and are thus not verifiable for notability, validity nor correctness. — TJJFV (talk) 17:00, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep It has the same type of sourcing as Party for People with Special Needs, another minor party that fielded 2 candidates (the minimum required to be a registered party), and is still roughly on par with several of the other articles for minor parties. RA0808 talkcontribs 14:39, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- For a political party to have an article on Wikipedia, the only notability standard it has to meet is that it's duly registered as a political party that's eligible to run candidates in an election. It doesn't have to win seats, it doesn't have to garner any specific percentage of the popular vote — it merely has to be registered as a political party with the appropriate electoral authority. More referencing than this would certainly be welcomed if at all possible, but no more than this is required. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 22:11, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Question Bearcat, I don't mean to be contentious, but can you steer me to any consensus about this? It seems a bit troubling that a precedent would bypass reliance on reliable sources. I have a lot of sympathy for small political parties, but I have a hard time supporting the existence of an article that that doesn't have significant coverage in reliable sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- There is reliable source coverage in the article already — two articles in major news organizations of record may not be a lot of coverage, but it's not nothing, either. We obviously never grant any article a permanent exemption from ever having to cite a single RS at all, but while some criteria can certainly be passed only by ensuring that an article already contains a GNG-satisfying level of sourcing, there are some others that can be satisfied by the provision of even just one reliable source. (A person who wins an Academy Award, for example, must be kept even if the article is cited to nothing more than a simple list of that year's Academy Award winners, as long as that list is appearing in an RS. And a sitting member of a provincial, state or federal legislature must be kept as long as the article is cited to one reference which verifies that they've actually held or been declared elected to the office they're claimed to have held. It takes more sources than that to make an article good, absolutely — but there are certain specific notability criteria for which it takes just one RS to make an article keepable.) Registered political parties are considered to be in the latter class, because the election(s) that they ran candidates in aren't being properly covered if any political party in that election's results table fails to lead the reader to more information about that political party, and leaves the reader of the article about that election helplessly wondering "how the heck am I supposed to find out what this party stood for or campaigned on?"

- Uber comment. Bearcat, you suggest, or say, that your level of inclusion is a standard here, but when asked you didn't provide it. If it is true that "For a political party to have an article on Wikipedia, the only notability standard it has to meet is that it's duly registered as a political party that's eligible to run candidates in an election", please show it. Tim's argument seems to lean on that stance as well, though the addition of IAR is very clever (not bad, Tim--and this is not a bad trick to play that trump card in). Nwlaw63 agrees with the nominator, basically seeking deletion because of lack of sourcing. User:RA0808, unfortunately, does not present much of an argument and it is countered quickly with a WP:OTHERSTUFF or whatever the acronym is here. If I were the closing admin here (I understand why it was relisted, not closed!) I would lean toward delete because a. the "lack of sourcing" argument is not efficiently countered; b. the "but other articles are like this" argument does not hold up; and c. Bearcat has not pointed to a kind of consensus/standard for political parties. The funny thing is, the moment Bearcat does that, OTHERSTUFF does acquire a kind of validity. Of all the 'keep arguments, Tim's IAR is the strongest.
Or, in other words, dear editors, you have some more work to do here. Happy days, Drmies (talk) 00:19, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
DeleteRedirect to List of political parties in Ontario - the coverage from reliable sources is not significant coverage and, unlike Academy-award-winners, lack of any reason to assume that such sources almost certainly exist. I take issue with Bearcat's assertion that "the only notability standard it has to meet is that it's duly registered as a political party that's eligible to run candidates in an election." In some countries or political sub-divisions you can form a political party with little more than a filing fee, a statement about what your party is about, and a petition signed by a relatively small number of people. Bearcat's claim, if true, would open the project up to abuse by small parties seeking publicity. Having said this, I have no objection to moving this to Draft:- or User:-space if someone needs time to track down additional reliable sources to see if, either individually or in combination, the topic has received significant coverage from them. If this closes as Redirect I have no objection to keeping the page history. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:39, 27 August 2015 (UTC)- Comment Following up on Bearcat's assertion about what makes a political party "wiki-notable": The process for registering as a political party in Ontario seems almost trivial - you just have to find two people willing to run under the party banner, or find 1000 Ontario citizens willing to sign a petition within a 1-year period. I'm wondering how long before we have the Ontario Wikipedian's Party - the party that anyone can be a candidate with. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:46, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Being chief art critic for two major publications is certainly a strong claim of notability, demonstrating stature in their field. The nominator's statement is absolute nonsense; there's no sign whatever of self-promotion, and only a few easily fixed moments of peacockery. Nom seems to be on a disturbingly Qworty-esque jihad regarding writers/critics; their deletion rationale makes no substantive arguments.

- "Being chief art critic for two major publications is certainly a strong claim of notability, demonstrating stature in their field." In principle, that's a tenable view, but would you care to say what guideline she would pass? Kraxler (talk) 21:55, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

- Thanks, I'll have a look at the guidelines in relation to this subject. FRSA is not inherently notable, I'm afraid. There must be thousands of them, and I've seen some being deleted, and some currently being here at AfD. It certainly adds up to ther things, though. Kraxler (talk) 22:42, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Keep - Obvious claims to notability, verified by at least one independent reliable source via the Herald Scotland article about her donations. Combined with other mentions, her cited writings, and it makes a good case that Mrs. Henry is "regarded as an important figure" in the art world, per WP:CREATIVE. Still would like to see more independent reliable refs added. -- 1Wiki8Q5G7FviTHBac3dx8HhdNYwDVstR (talk) 12:38, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep as User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, there is enough here to support WP:JOURNALIST, WP:ANYBIO.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:19, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep I'm not seeing any evidence supporting the nomination's claim that this is self-promotion. The article seems to have been created as part of an editathon and seems to be just the sort of article one would expect from such an event. The subject seems reasonably notable, as her activities appear in books such as A Companion to British Art: 1600 to the Present and Scottish Art Since 1960: Historical Reflections and Contemporary Overviews. Andrew D. (talk) 08:11, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep I have not looked closely at the sources, but her position as art critic for major newspapers, as well as her being Scotland's curator for their Venice Biennale pavillion denotes significant notability, IMHO.New Media Theorist (talk) 01:18, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep for all the reasons listed above, but also because the article was nominated for deletion by a new user User:Sheroddy who began nominating articles for deletion within their third edit. While I strongly believe that we should be bold this is maybe a bit too bold. Theredproject (talk) 15:37, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep the subject of this article appears notable. Her work as art critic of The Herald (Glasgow) would seem to demonstrate notability as per WP:JOURNALIST. Her entry in Debretts also points towards many other achievements during her career as a creative professional. [40] Drchriswilliams (talk) 23:18, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- Keep I've tidied up the article including noting that her "papers" are being held by the Glasgow School of Art. I cannot see why this was nominated. Victuallers (talk) 11:59, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Allegedly CSD-A7, claimed to be an autobiography, however there is enough information here that the article could be salvaged in a rewrite as opposed to deleted. I leave it to the community to decide this one. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:05, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - He created his own article and he is not even notable per Wikipedia guidelines, and nearly all the sources that he cites are unverifiable, unreliable, and mirrors, I took the time to check them. He claimed to be the first gay Afghan but I proved him wrong. See Talk:Nemat Sadat. What's more funny is that he claims to live in New York but his IP is located in California.

- Delete per WP:AUTOBIO and WP:TNT and wait until someone unconnected to the subject writes an article to determine whether the subject is even notable. We can't get a neutrally written encyclopedia article out of such a high level of self-promotion, and this is at best a borderline case so there's little harm in not having an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
