  • Keep. The article already had one good reference, a review of the book in Nature, and I just added three more reviews from other reliable journals. So it clearly passes WP:BKCRIT #1 (subject of two or more non-trivial published reviews) and WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:34, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

      • He doesn't have a Wikipedia article, but that doesn't mean he's not notable. As a fellow of the APS he passes WP:PROF#C3 and his high citation counts likely also give him a pass of #C1. He also won a notable award, the Emily M. Gray Award. In any case, it's not very relevant to the separate notability of this book. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article in this current form is promotion of neologism. It should be either deleted or completely rewritten, if there are reliable sources, which I can't find myself Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article should not be deleted. The term is discussed in four books and those books are listed. If you do a Google search in "Books," you will see some of the pages within those books that discuss this term. I was invited 10 years ago by a higher up person at Wikipedia to create a page for this term. I did not do it then because at the time there were only a few articles on the subject. But now, in addition to articles, there are 4 books! I have heard omniocracy discussed at animal rights conventions and in speeches within the movement. It is an important word that describes a government with representation for all living beings. Animal interests need to be represented on Wikipedia, too. It should not only be a platform to promote only humans and only human-centered forms of government! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauracaluncle (talkcontribs) 21:39, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Insufficient coverage about this proposed form of government in reliable sources. WP:NEO states that finding sources which simply use the term does not establish sufficient coverage. --NickContact/Contribs 23:30, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I vote that this article stay. I have heard the term used among animal activists in the U.S. and think the aforementioned citations are sufficient and reliable.

This is mostly redundant to Child sexual abuse in New York City religious institutions, which deals with a wider scope of sexual abuse cases within religious groups in New York City. This article has too narrow of a scope, and much of the article is either defamation or quotes from non-neutral points of view. Also, this is a WP:BLP violation and although this is certainly part of a notable trend, this is too overly detailed and probably not notable by itself. I suggest a merge.

Having read your rationale carefully, you are clearly !voting "Merge or Delete (but keep discussion elsewhere) or Keep (but delete discussion elsewhere)" (you write: "the material should in any case be covered in one or the other, not in both"), though the header to your discussion might mislead some to misunderstand that.

  • Merge to Child sexual abuse in New York City religious institutions per nom. Most of the information has already been incorporated there. The present article does look like a sounding board for non-neutral POV by the New York Post and The New York Times, and its narrow focus, in light of the larger article, fails WP:UNDUE. Yoninah (talk) 12:10, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per my opinion in the prior AfD. Individual BLP violations within the article (to the extent they exist) should absolutely be dealt with by removing the offending text - not by the deleting the whole article. -- Y not? 18:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because of the prevalence of findings within a single group. There is precedent in the article about sexual abuse within the Catholic Church [[22]]. I sympathize with complaints about sources of the New York Post but I cannot agree with Yoninah that the New York Times is a non-neutral POV. BrandenburgG (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think the article describes a notable phenomenon. I am less happy with the list of "notable cases", and just removed two people from that list who were not convicted. I would consider removing the list of notable cases, but pending that, it is important that the list hold to the highest of scrutiny regarding the various Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

The page does not adequately reference significant sources. There is heavy reliance on only one source and content is not available at that source. There's a lack of verifiable sources and they do not substantiate the person's notability. Anonymous032 (talk) 16:23, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Snow Keep. The single source is the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. I believe what this user means by "content is not available" is that he does not have an online subscription and can't be bothered to find a hardcopy at some library.

  • Keep passes WP:GNG as the subject is discussed in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry cited in the article. I've seen the entry, it is clearly significant coverage and goes into detail about the subject's life and their role in the conflicts of the period (695 words are devoted to the subject specifically). I can only assume that "content is not available at that source" means "the source is not available for free on the internet to everyone", but there certainly isn't any policy or guideline against the use of such sources and they are widely used. Sources do have to be published, but the ODNB is and I was able to read this entry for free with a library card. Hut 8.5 19:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sections in this article: History, etymology, related words, meanings, usages, pragmatics, these are all things that belong in a dictionary.

  • Keep. Clear case of WP:WORDISSUBJECT. Statements like "Baka, which originated as a 14th-century literary insult, has become "the most commonly used" swearword in contemporary Japanese", "The linguistic pragmatics of using insults like baka can be language specific. For instance, Japanese has fewer words for calling someone a "fool" than English", and "During World War II, baka was American military slang for the Japanese Ohka 櫻花 (lit. "Cherry Blossom") kamikaze flying bomb" go well beyond dictionary information. --Sammy1339 (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per others. The term appears to have a significant notability that goes beyond its definition; also, not that this makes it automatically notable, but there are six other Wikipedia articles in other languages about this word (Russian, Spanish, German, Chinese etc). The Japanese article in particular is significantly lengthy, which in my view is a good indicator of prominence. МандичкаYO 😜 21:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Clearly not a dictionary definition. Since when did dictionaries have detailed descriptions on etymology, history and cultural context? Just like our encyclopedia articles on thou, you, irregardless, hello, comprised of, fuck and shit, if there is content which focuses outside of the traditional scope of a dictionary, then it is an encyclopedia article and not a dictionary definition entry. --benlisquareTCE 22:19, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You presume I didn't. The term is heavily used. That doesn't mean discussion of the content of the term merits and article.

  • Keep (changed) per sources found on JSTOR below. Cleanup is needed however, and this article needs more than a single paper by the term's inventor as a source. Gaze also needs to trim the male gaze section as it is completely undue within that article. ― Padenton|   14:18, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is more than enough scholarly research on the male gaze to warrant a separate article. It isn't just concept in feminist theory, it has become a concept used in most academic disciplines. Take media studies, for example. You'll have difficulty finding a study on spectatorship in cinema, music videos, advertisement etc. that does not discuss the male gaze. At the same time, I understand why other editors voted delete. The current article and the section in the overview article give the wrong impression that it's this barely significant theory that's restricted to feminist studies. As I said, the article is in very bad shape and, unfortunately, I don't have time at the moment to expand it and summarize the wealth of research dealing with the male gaze. --SonicY (talk) 10:24, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either Redirect to Gaze#The "male gaze" in feminist theory where it can remain in context to the rest of the article, OR Keep per multiple unused sources available and add those sources under WP:NRVE. I do agree that a redirect could have been done with no need for an AFD. Schmidt, Michael Q.
  • Keep or merge. Is the nominator trying to make a joke that just isn't landing? This is a really big feminist + media studies concept, discussed in tons of sources, if they'd just bothered to actually look for sources (some of which are already cited in Gaze). It seems unintuitive to split this in a way that keeps theories influenced by it with it (imperial gaze - Kaplan cites Mulvey) while keeping what seem like precursors separate (Sartre and Foucault seem relevant, but Mulvey doesn't actually cite them in the influential essay), so I am indifferent to a keep or a merge, I think. If it's kept, re-title for MOS, no "the." –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 13:07, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You want this query instead [24] but point made. I've changed my vote above. ― Padenton|   04:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia has very low inclusion criteria and no attempt is being made here to meet them. This topic may be notable but until and unless this article is developed to cite 2-3 sources on this topic, then this concept should not exist as a Wikipedia article. Anyone who feels strongly enough to vote keep should also cite 2-3 sources which feature the subject of this article as the subject of the source. Right now this article cites one source and from the context of the wiki article as it is now, it is not clear to me that the source cited is about the subject of the article.

  • Reply - Rpclod in the aritlce you've linked to re: the subject inheriting notability from an alleged client... it specifies that " If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate." I would say that is grounds for keeping this article, along with the many other explanations provided, and the in depth articles on the topic. Your referencing / reasoning is improperly guided and again like everyone else you've seemed to not actually read the sources. I'd encourage everyone to do so before suggesting deletion. Also as my previous argument (seen on the article's talk page) specifies, this notabiltiy is not simply inherited. It is commented on and detailed in numerous articles. These articles may be titled about the subjects clients, but do go into depth about the subject as well and the subjects notability as an individual. In the first source in fact, there are 7 full paragraphs just about the subject and their notability. --WHOISFANDOM (talk) 01:54, 6 May 2015 (UTC) WHOISFANDOM (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep The removal requests here appear to be on the basis of self-creation, and if so this should be investigated and the users involved removed from Wiki. But that aside, this article itself appears to fit the guidelines for a biographic article of a publicly known & notable figure. Some sources used are only passing mentions, but most do go into depth on the subject to some extent, including one article about the subject in HitQuarters (which from a brief search I did, and it's wikipedia aritcle which says the publication is noted for it's "in depth interviews with industry figures" I have found this to mean it is a reputable music industry publication. It has also done interviews with Simon Cowell and many other popular artist managers. The Billboard source also provided goes into depth on the subject as well and that to my knowledge is another reliable and indepedent source. So I would not remove the article. jeckellandhyde 13:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)jeckellandhyde (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

  • Keep - This displays all characteristics of notability. There are multiple events of notability between the signings of multiple popular artists all with reliable and independent sources. The subject is credited as notable in all of those sources as a main contributor/reason for those successes. The coverage doesn't seem to include many articles that are entirely about the subject as per reddogsix, but that is not grounds for deletion. Within those articles there is still significant coverage on the subject, including multi-paragrph full biographic coverage giving his history, why it is a notable history, and some articles that continue to tell an entire story about the subject as the driving force behind the artists' successes. (i.e. Andrew Gertler started at this job, introduced X to ____ record label, X got signed to ______ record label as a result. OR Andrew Gertler was a key contributor to X's success, here are the factors behind the success). All of these reasonings are present and are grounds for notability. There may be a peripheral comment here and there, but there is also a multitude of non-peripheral coverage as displayed. And 12 or so sources all consistently telling those stories over a period of multiple years is certainly significant coverage, in addition to a ton of articles found in a simple Google News search that are not used but also include the same significant coverage to establish notability.

  • Comment If the consensus is that this topic is notable or if there is no consensus regarding notability, AND if the current version is deemed to have been written by editors that have too much of a conflict of interest, then I would recommend a closure of either "send back to DRAFT-space" or WP:STARTOVER with no prejudice against (and even encouragement for, if there is a clear consensus that this person is notable) the creation of an article by editors with no conflict of interest. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC) Update (note: this update is after Joseph2302's reply): In light of the results of the SPA I strongly recommend that if this closes as "no consensus regarding notability" that it be deleted under WP:STARTOVER with the logic being that Wikipedia's stance on not rewarding bad behavior should trump the normal "no consensus = default keep" at least in this instance. If this happens, the closing admin and other interested parties keep an eye out on who edits any re-created article. If there is an actual consensus that this person is notable but no consensus to keep this particular article, then my previous recommendation (which was not "strong" and which gave more options, including sending back to DRAFT) stands. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 04:05, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The first AfD was a dud; let's hope this one is more conclusive. I have no particular comments to add from what I said there, except that neither of the two "sources" added in the interim demonstrate notability, either. One of them is a blog post, and isn't citable for anything. Another deals with the family of the subject's wife in the years 1749-1769, which has no bearing on the subject's notability, given that a) he came from another family and b) he married in 1924, over a century and a half after the period discussed in the book being cited. - Biruitorul Talk 13:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • And here's the link within that site about him [34] but of course this cannot be considered a reliable source since the church is his employer.

I tried searching in some Brazilian newspapers that cover Sao Paulo, which appears to be where the church is, and came up with zero. I can find him on social sites (linked in, youtube, etc.) but not in reliable sources. So if someone has better access to Brazilian sources, they should speak up!

  • The question in AFD is not whether the page has sources (it does not) but whether sources exist to establish notability. WP:GNG If you search on Paulo Romeiro + Brazil, little appears. But if you search on Paulo Romeiro + Brasil, it turns out that there is an enormous, Portuguese speaking country with a publishing industry in Portuguese. We could, of course, change the rules to exclude sources that establish notability in other languages.

  • Merge with Doppelmayr Garaventa Group. I confess I used Google translate, but according to the company's website, they were bought out in December 2013.[35] I'm pretty sure that's what happened, anyway. According to this, the company had 6 employees in 2014. I don't think that's reliable, but lacking better sources, it strongly suggests that this company is too small to expect independent notability.

Hello Justlettersandnumbers, Vivaldo Martini[1] is famous for his woman portraits and post cubist compositions[2]. Vivaldo Martini is not a great famous painter but in Swiss is also famous as Augusto Giacometti, Albert Schmidt or Richard Pirl. He was a paint teacher too. He formed a lot of artist like Vanya Ferrara[3] Jean-Pierre Colinge or Genevieve Paris[4]. There's one book named Vivaldo Martini 1908-1990. Peintures‎ printed in 1993 with 158 pages. One paint of Vivaldo Martini is exposed in a French museum and one other is in the Javier Mendez's collection in Spain[5]. And one picture is in the Centre d'iconographie genevoise at Geneva[6].

  • Delete. For Swiss visual artists, the extent of their coverage in the selective biographical database SIKART is a very good indicator of notability. SIKART covers artists with a "documentation level" of 1 to 5 depending on their importance. In this case, Martini is not even indexed in SIKART, which indicates that he has had about zero impact on the Swiss art scene. Lacking other sources that would make him pass WP:GNG, it's a relatively clear-cut matter.  Sandstein  09:13, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because a monthly swiss art magazine (Tribune des arts) had written an long article on Vivaldo Martini and his works in 1993. The title is L'oeuvre secrète de Martini : un grand portraitiste retrouvé à Genève (Vivaldo Martini's secret work : a great portraitist found in Geneva)[1] And more, in Benezit Dictionary of Artists edited by Oxford Oxford University Press there's an article about Vivaldo Martini [2][3]. So Vivaldo Martini is a notable artist. Homeristan (talk) 18:04, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - I guess I've become a bit less of a deletionist than I was back then. It's true that it doesn't seem to be covered in depth in any sources that I can find with a cursory Google Books search, so nominally it seems to fail the GNG, but is mentioned in a good few books and reports, so it was a real airline, running flights on more than one route, and there is no doubt about that. I would recommend merging if I could find a suitable merge target. --Slashme (talk) 14:10, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

      • I'm a bit occupied and all I can do for the meantime is to skim AfD for the Philippines. Using Google, I do find a lot of information and pictures so it does exist [1] and I am from the Philippines and also do know this company exists so using WP:COMMON it is imperative that this article be kept yet maintenance tags must be placed to invite interested editors to improve it by adding citations. Obviously not deletion. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 07:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • It seems as if there is a courier company called Mindanao Express, and a Google Images search finds lots of photos of a bus in "Mindanao Express" livery, operated by San Agustin, but from what I can find, the airline of that name has ceased operations. I don't really think that there is a common-sense reason to ignore WP:COMPANY. This guideline is completely applicable, and it basically echoes the GNG: there must be in-depth coverage of the company in reliable, independent secondary sources. Surely an airline of note should leave some footprints more than a brief mention in a few news reports. At the moment, the article doesn't have a single reference. --Slashme (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Upon my short research. It seems Mindanao Express is a company which was once plying the route to southern regions of the Philippines. Manila Standard newspaper captured it 1997. It was a company. but since the larger Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific Air has already flights direct to it established route (General Santos, Davao, Zamboanga, Tawi-Tawi, Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, and Indonesia) it then started its downfall trying to live out on its last breath through courier services and buses which were also sold out (or in partnership) to San Agustin. It does exist and it is notable for being the transport/courier service at the end of the 20th century for the Philippines. It is still WP:CORP provided more sources and citations can be given. Manila Standard is one. I still believe is is notable as part of Philippine transportation is concerned and just needs maintenance tags to call editors to improve it. Still works for me in using WP:COMMON as it did exist and notable for once plying those routes. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 13:16, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the sources show that it existed, but mere existence is not enough for Wikipedia. YSSYguy (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Again, please take a good look at the sources I posted. An article without enough citations now doesn't mean it won't have or that it is not notable anymore. The USAID source claims that it was "the first commuter airline in Mindanao." That in itself already suggests notability. This news source from 1999 claims that it was also the "first airline which provided direct flights between major Mindanao destinations." This article just needs improvement and addition of RS's such as those and 1 2 3. --RioHondo (talk) 02:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I had a good look at those sources, and all they do is demonstrate the company's existence. You can have fifty citations of that calibre and the result would still be the same - it existed and went about its business for a while. That is not enough. YSSYguy (talk) 06:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm actually leaning towards keep right now. At least we now have a full-length newspaper article that discusses the airline in depth, saying which aircraft they were using, and we also have sources which explain how they became a bus operator. The fact that they were the first airline on those routes is an aspect of notability as well, so even though the topic might not pass a strict application of the notability guidelines, it passes the most important part, namely verifiability. We know for a fact what the answers are to the main who/what/when/where/why questions.

  • Comment to closer Can I ask that as this has been tagged for notability for 7 years, that this is relisted again until we do have a consensus or reasonable number of responses? Boleyn (talk) 16:58, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to closer What Boleyn neglects to indicate is that since the notability tag was first placed on the article on 2 September 2009 there have been a substantial number of edits, all of which have been referenced with independent verifiable sources. Dan arndt (talk) 04:42, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Dan arndt, there has certainly been some good work done on the article. The length of time it's been tagged is not any indication of whether it is notable or not, but it is a shame when an article which has been waiting a long time for its notability to be properly looked at has the tag left on it and nothing resolved fully due to a lack of participants in an AfD.

Keep, Beltran won an award and has multiple nominations for other awards. Has apparently appeared in a mainstream media program. IMO she meets PORNBIO criteria. -- fdewaele, 7 May 2015, 18:47 CET.
Delete. Her RISE Award for "Hottest Butt" fails both parts of the well-known/significant standard under PORNBIO: RISE Awards are no more than minimally notable (if even that) not well-known, and body/body parts awards generally lack significance (see, for example, the Jayden James AFD [40] and DRV [41]. where a similar and higher-visibility award was held not to satisfy PORNBIO). No credible argument the subject passes the GNG, and a single, fleeting talk show spot certainly fails the multiple featured mainstream appearances standard.

  • Delete - 1 obscure award does not qualify for wp:pornbio. Subject also fails to meet the general notability guidelines, as there are no reliable sources to be found that cover the subject in-depth.

I came across this as a speedy deletion WP:A7, but the assertion of having performed with notable performers like Jason Derulo at a music venue does give somewhat of an assertion of notability enough to where he may just barely pass speedy criteria. I couldn't find anything in a search to really back any notability up in a search. I found some routine performance listings like this one, but not anything that would really show notability. The sources on the article are also unusable as far as showing notability goes. As far as I can see this guy fails notability criteria fairly solidly. I'd speedy delete him, but there's just enough here to where AfD may be the best outlet for this. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm just going to copy my findings here where they are more relevant: "I'd had a look to see about deleting, but found "Ubar was the pride of a prideful king—Shaddad, son of King Ad, grandson of Noah" in this, which is given in one of the articles. I'm not sure they're hoaxes. The transcript also states "There were other clues in the library's climate-controlled vaults, tantalizing hints in the Koran, references in the Arabian Nights and Greek and Roman histories, and the works of Islamic geographers. In some books, Ubar was mentioned, but had a different name. Or the Ubarites were called "the People of Ad." But nothing gave Ubar's exact location, or proved it was real." These are likely not hoaxes in our sense, but either not notable or things believed to have existed in some theologies". My conclusion: no hoax, but not encyclopedia notable either. Delete.

  • Keep The king and his city are mentioned in some books from reputable publishers[54][55][56]. There are presumptions that inhabited places are notable, and that kings are notable. There is no consensus as to whether mere mention in the Bible, Koran, etc confers notability but it carries some weight. No need to have articles on both the king and the city, but one should be kept, and since the city is generally known as "the city of 'Ad" or similar, keeping the king makes sense. Also, it's hard to Google, sources are likely to be offline, there's no evidence anyone has checked Arabic or other non-English sources, and Wikipedia:Systemic bias.

  • Keep: The king is notable, although the article may need better sources and a rewrite. Solntsa90 (talk) 07:30, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: If nothing else, Wikipedia should provide comprehensive coverage of peoples! Up with people! If there is doubt whether such a people existed, then say that in the article. It is useful for Wikipedia to cover peoples that are merely hypothesized to have existed by anthropologists, which turn out later to be viewed as within some already-named larger people. This happens for animals, too: e.g. Cape lions of South Africa were considered to be a distinct group, and later argued to be nothing special. --doncram 18:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This is one of two related AfDs. If ʿĀd is same as ‘Ad (the subject here) then they should be merged. Note: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/ʿĀd (classified with AfD category Indiscernable) vs. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/‘Ad are both going one. This should have been one multiple-article AfD. Of course if they really are one people then articles should be merged. But if one is about a people in Saudi Arabia during one time period covered by one set of sources, and other is about people somewhere else at some other time, covered by different sources, then probably not, though hatnote disambiguation is needed. --doncram 18:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It baffles me as to why this article has remained, even as a disambiguation page. It does not actually reduce any sort of confusion for the reader, and rather further confuses them. According to the talk page, the page was originally an article, when the topics of skirt and dress were on this page; the topics were separated into the current articles. A redirect to either page does not work since the title of this page does not weigh to one article or another. Finally, it does not seem to be the correct use of a "disambiguation" page, per WP:D.96.52.0.249 (talk) 13:12, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I completed the nom for the IP. ansh666 06:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: not strictly a disambiguation page, but a navigation tool from a phrase, "Skirt and Dress" which multiple editors in 2005-2007 obviously thought was a sensible title for a Wikipedia article. If the article had been moved to a new title there would be a redirect. As it was divided into two articles, a page leading to both seems appropriate - a sort of forked redirect. Possibly needs a redirect from "Dress and skirt" too. PamD 09:12, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with your reason: Many things, arbitrarily or not, can be "strung together". This was a mistake years ago. To keep this article, by your arguement, is to open the door for more of these pages and for editors to make silly circuitous pages like this.96.52.0.249 (talk) 20:49, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete If one goes into the article history in search of the editing wisdom of the ancestors, what one finds (if one approaches it with an open mind) is that they were in no way wise. What happened was that someone started skirt, and someone else decided for no good reason to tack dress onto it, so someone moved the whole thing to this name. Searching for the phrase produces nothing but incidental juxtapositions, as one might expect. Mangoe (talk) 12:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pointless stub which talks about something that, in cricket terms, is a non-subject. Cricket is administered and played separately by England and Wales combined, by Ireland itself (Northern and the Republic combined) and by Scotland itself. In no way is it ever considered "British" or "UK". It becomes even sillier when the Irish position is considered because "Cricket in Ireland" includes the Republic and that is not part of the UK. The article cannot be expanded because there is nothing else to say; it has no sources (because none exist); and it is not notable because it is a non-subject. Jack | talk page 08:34, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename This article should be called "Cricket in the British Isles". Then there will be something to write about and Ireland will not be a problem as it is in the British Isles. Thank you Trout71 (talk) 13:52, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. How then would it be expanded and what sources would you find? All that you would do is duplicate content that is correctly covered by articles about cricket in the relevant countries. The article is pointless, has no prospects and adds no value. Cricket is administered and played by England and Wales together; by Northern Ireland and the Republic together; and by Scotland alone. Three entities, not one. There is NO "UK cricket" or "British cricket" or "British Isles cricket". Jack | talk page 15:59, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Jack I didn't say there was such a thing as British Isles cricket. I suggested that we have a page called Cricket in the British Isles. There is a distinction. This page would be very useful in listing the countries and how they are associated or how they are distinct. The page could also provide an overview of comparison. It need not suggest that there is a British Isles Cricket team, a concern you have noted. Think of it like being a page called "Cricket in the European Union". There may be no European cricket team, indeed there may not even be any real association between the cricket teams of various countries but such a page is still useful. It could communicate statistics and provide an overview of the sport in Europe. Thank you Trout71 (talk) 20:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This page doesn't do any harm serving as a disambiguation, and if someone goes looking for 'Cricket in the UK' thinking it has centralised administration, it's a simple signpost to correct them. I certainly wouldn't say it requires deletion. The question of how to treat Ireland can be left to those better versed in the subject than I, but I'd suggest an explanation in words would be preferable to renaming to the less obvious "Cricket in the British Isles" title just to get around that issue.

  • Keep Although Nom asserts that "the only credible source" now on the page is the NYTimes, this is grossly insulting to the U-T San Diego, an old and respected daily that interviewed Barrett [57], not to mention dissing the credibility of the venerable American Dialect Society, of which lexicographical organization the page tells us that he is an officer. About that NYTimes article? It describes him as one of 5 youngish people who are "part of the next wave of top lexicographers who have already or may soon take over guardianship of the nation's language" as chiefs of America's top 5 dictionaries.[58] Not too shabby. Oh, and, Barrett is host of a blue-linked show on NPR called A Way with Words. I know this because it's right on the page. In blue. The question I'm really raising here is, have we decided that the appropriate response to meeting an article on a topic where notability is obvious - indicated by links already on the page - the proper response is to take it to AFD instead of, say, tagging it for in-line sourcing?

The majority of those pieces are rip-and-read PR straight from the team; only the fifth story covering a rivalry actually seems neutral (but going by story 5, is under the same ownership).

Non-notable person and seems to be best known as the mayor of Cottonwood Heights, Utah. A search at News finds several results but mostly as the mayor and a search adding Dynatronics found fewer results (mostly press releases, with one Forbes and the others minor mentions through local newspapers). Books found nothing useful so in a way, the article is promotional since a lot of that can't be confirmed by significant and in-depth coverage. As an alternative, this could be redirected to Cottonwood Heights's article but there's not much there to mention him aside from the mayor. SwisterTwister talk 04:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's a consensus issue — towns and cities quite frequently do have lists of the mayors, either in the history or politics sections of the main article or spun off as a separate list, if we can find the proper reliable sourcing to support one. Adequate sourcing tends to be much harder to locate for smaller towns, though. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Does not meet WP:BIO. --Inother (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The city in question (pop. 33K) is not large enough to confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass on its mayors, and the article is not even close to citing enough reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG instead. While he might potentially get over our inclusion rules for businesspeople for the CEO role, that still depends on sourcing rather than mere assertion — being a CEO is not a notability freebie that entitles a person to keep an unsourced or primary sourced article just because the letters "CEO" are involved (and that's especially true when the company that they're CEO of doesn't even have an article under WP:CORP).

The result was keep. An overview regarding this close:

  • A redirect !vote qualifies redirection stating "Without charting or being reviewed / discussed by reliable sources...(et al.), but this notion has been countered in the discussion with the provision of reliable sources that do discuss the song.
  • A redirect !vote qualifies redirection stating that "the song is not covered in indepedent reviews", but this has been disproven per sources provided in the discussion (e.g. this Pitchfork review).
  • A redirect !vote, (as well as other comments in the discussion with this sentiment), qualifies redirection by stating in regard to the sources, “the content from them should be included in the article to demonstrate notability”. This is not a guideline- or policy-based rationale for redirection. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing within articles, it's based upon the availability of sources. Sources do not need to be present in articles for notability to be demonstrated. Furthermore, users contributing to AfD discussions are not obligated to add sources to articles.
  • Some for redirection state that the sources provided won't allow for expansion of the article, but this notion has been challenged in the discussion.

It's clear that the article won't be deleted per this discussion, and the redirect arguments have been substantially countered in the discussion, mostly by the provision of sources about the song. North America1000 04:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect : Agree with both of you. The song has not attained notability yet and so fails WP:NSONG and WP:NOTE. Without charting or being reviewed / discussed by reliable sources, the article doesn't contribute anything that couldn't be summed up by a sentence or two on either the Carly Rae Jepsen article or her discograpy such as "The album's second single, "All That", was released to iTunes on April 5, 2015." The discography is a good place to redirect for now; if/when an article for E·MO·TION is established, the redirect could be pointed to the album article instead. Songsteel (talk) 02:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are tons of reviews and articles of the song available online. Just because they aren't on the article doesn't mean they don't exist. Please read WP:DELETE. — Status (talk · contribs) 03:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here's several references I found just skimming the surface of this search engine called Google (maybe you should bookmark it for later usage) because some people can't be bothered to actually do some research before nominating an article for deletion.

None of those sources are doing the article any good if they're not being used. –Chase (talk / contribs) 01:20, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Some of those sources are already in the article, and a lot discuss the SNL performance, which is already there. Just cause it has some media coverage, and there can be a lot of sources (for the same subject, i.e., the SNL performance), doesn't mean it will be enough to be an article. If you can possibly expand the article, then maybe. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 00:18, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, honey... you nominated this article for deletion claiming it's not notable, and I provided multiple sources that prove its notability. They don't have to be in the article. — Status (talk · contribs) 03:14, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just because there is a lot of coverage, doesn't mean it is notable since a lot of those sources provide the same information. And it appears it won't grow all that much farther. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the article does state she filmed a music video for the song (it's unsourced, but I'm sure a music video is on its way, considering it's the second single from her upcoming album). Seems to me that a music video release would provide additional coverage for the song, no? Regardless, the coverage it has already received is enough to establish basic notability. Period. — Status (talk · contribs) 03:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article still wouldn't be enough, hasn't charted anywhere, and if it can't have more than 20 sources, not really notable. looking at Spotify, it only has a little more than 1 million streams compared to I Really Like You's 50 million+. Even if a music video were to be added, this 5,200 byte length article wouldn't really be much different. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:53, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I didn't realize that how popular a song is on Spotify has to do with its notability; I was under the impression that had to do with the coverage it received from reliable sources. You learn something new every day! The fact that the song hasn't charted (which I don't know for a fact, as I haven't searched for it) does not make a difference. This deletionist attitude has to go. — Status (talk · contribs) 03:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's just a way to show what is popular and what is not. It may have a lot of coverage, but again, a lot of the sources talk about the same thing, if the article can't get much longer (as it appears it can't and won't) there is no reason to keep this. "This deletionist attitude needs to go", discuss content, not editors. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:02, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I provided multiple additional sources that could be used to expand the article, and pointed out the fact that a music video will mostly likely be released shortly, and you still don't believe that the article can be expanded further. I am discussing content, and you are discussing Spotify and what is popular on the charts or not. I have nothing further to add, as I have provided more than enough information to warrant the article to be kept. — Status (talk · contribs) 04:08, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If the article could be expanded, then why don't you expand it then just leaving sources here? Sources are no good unless there if info to add with it. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:18, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because I don't want to. I am involved in a deletion discussion, which is where you either prove or disprove an article's notability. Again, what the article has and what information is out there are two different things. An article does not need to have every bit of information available in the world to exist. — Status (talk · contribs) 04:25, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as I can't see even with the sources you provided, how the article could be expanded, someone should do it. The sources that you provided won't expand the article any, a lot are on the same subject, again. And the SNL performance is already in the article. --- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:32, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although I disagree with Winkelvi's keep !vote, PERNOM states: "If the rationale provided in the nomination includes a comprehensive argument, specific policy references and/or a compelling presentation of evidence in favour of keeping or deletion, an endorsement of the nominator's argument may be sufficient."

  • Redirect to Carly Rae Jepsen discography for now. @Status: You should link to such sources, not simply say "There are tons of them", and the content from them should be included in the article to demonstrate notability. Until that is done, regardless of how much information exists, the reader is not serviced by a few short paragraphs. –Chase (talk / contribs) 20:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: According to WP:GNG, the minimum amount of sources of significant coverage needed is 2, not more than 6. The reviews of the song from Billboard, Pitchfork and Vox, plus the other sources brought up in here, are more than enough (and I also found another one from Fact Magazine, after doing a quick Google search). Also, as mentioned, charting is not the main indicator for a song to be notable. It just implies notability of a song, just as WP:NSONGS clearly states. Kokoro20 (talk) 17:30, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There's more and I'll flesh it out later, but he played for Team USA in the 1993 Intercontinental Cup, which in my view satisfies WP:BASE/N. "Baseball figures are presumed notable if they...have participated in a major international competition."[73] The Intercontinental Cup isn't a no-name tournament, it is run by the International Baseball Federation every two or four years since 1973. He was a First-Team All-American while with the Gophers of Minnesota[74]. It looks like he has a hybrid case. All his accomplishments combined make a pretty notable guy. Like I said, though, I'll try to flesh this out more later. Here are just a few links I found on the first few pages of a Google search: [75], [76], [77] Alex (talk) 03:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alex, not everyone is a hybrid case. The Intercontinental Cup is not listed at BASE/N among the examples of a major international competition and being an All-American also isn't a BASE/N criteria.

  • Keep. A cursory glance through google shows that there are sources out there. Several feature articles covered his battle with brain cancer and there is coverage of his winning the Big 10 Conference Player of the Year honors, which is a fairly significant college accomplishment as well as the aforementioned all-american honors. I'm unsure as to if the intercontinental Cup is a significant international tournament (Alex has the wrong Cup linked above) but the other issues I think push him over the top.

  • The sources provided for him constitute either tribute-type coverage due to his illness, or routine coverage. The former is a step up from the typical coverage seen at AfD, but the fact that the articles are then less about him and more about what others are doing keeps me from immediately saying keep on him. I'll say neutral, weak delete if it has to be penciled in only because he could have easily had feature pieces on him, and doesn't quite do so. Wizardman 03:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - There are multiple articles about him in multiple contexts. And not just about "what others are doing," for example [78]. Rlendog (talk) 13:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The source found by Rlendog tipped the balance for me. I've added it and a couple others to the article. Merila was a truly elite player at the collegiate level. He not only was an All-American (probably sufficient in and of itself under WP:NCOLLATH) and the Big Ten Conference Baseball Player of the Year, but he set multiple Minnesota Golden Gophers baseball batting records, including single-season batting average (.452), career batting average (.392), and career walks (187). He was likely on his way to an MLB career, but he was stricken with a brain tumor at the end of his senior year. Even so, his truly elite college career is enough. There is abundant significant coverage, including feature stories in mainstream media publications, including the San Diego Union-Tribune, and in an authoritative book about the history of Minnesota Golden Gophers sports. Passes both WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH. Cbl62 (talk) 14:55, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep—the content restored to the article can be verified. The previous AfD found sources that can be used to verify the information in the article. State highways are typically kept. The previous and current AfD nomination statements attempt to say that a 10-kilometer section of roadway is not a significant piece of infrastructure, yet we've never had a minimum-length requirement for inclusion. There are articles on shorter highways in the United States, even ones in rural areas, so I fail to find that line of reasoning to be convincing. Imzadi 1979  08:28, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

b): this link consists of a brief profile, with nothing indicating sufficient notability for an encyclopaedia article
c): this JSTOR link is paywalled
d): this link does not even mention Ali Ekber Çiçek
e) : this JSTOR link is paywalled
f) : this link to google.books.com shows a list of references to Ali Ekber Çiçek, some in English, most in Turkish, could provide a colorable claim to notability albeit not in the article as it currently exists Quis separabit? 23:10, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As per wikipedia guidelines, sources do not have to be available online WP:GNG, let alone not behind paywalls. Hence, you can't just dismiss my references like that. BTW: Google summaries of those articles mention Ali, which is why I chose them. Also, the article that you say does not mention Ali does, on the page numbered 1576. The article that you say is a brief profile with nothing indicating sufficient notability mentions ""What did I do!" The song is often considered the pinnacle of symphonic Turkish folk music." This is indicating that the song is notable. If Ali has had a song on any national music chart, then that makes him notable WP:MUSBIO. Given his musical history as per my references, this is incredibly likely, though Turkish chart history is not available online. The sum total of the references not only show multiple mentions of Çiçek in reliable media, but also gives him a notable role in the development of Turkish protest music post coup. Hence, I note your points, but feel that my references do establish notability and therefore that the article should not be deleted. Ross-c (talk) 06:14, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep. This JSTOR article, while not thorough, devotes about a page in total to Çiçek (also spelled Çiçik- other variants may exist and yield more sources), calling Çiçek a master virtuoso of the Bağlama and "Of these [other virtuosos], Cicek was one of the first to engage in compositional activity while experimenting with new approaches to the refashioning of indigenous repertory" thus it is very likely other sources exist in folk music encyclopedias, scholarly or popular books.
