- Redirect to Rediscovered (A1 album) – fails WP:NSONG. Clearly a fan has tried to create articles for every single released by the band, but only nine of them were hits, and I suspect all the others can be redirected to their parent albums, like this one.

This article is terrible and was nothing but puffery, sourced to itself. I deleted most of it and the only thing that remains of note is perhaps the "CNN Hero" angle about some philanthropy. I'm not sure but I honestly think that I, personally, am more notable than this individual.
The article was deleted in 2011 (even with the CNN Hero source) and then recreated in 2017. Jorm (talk) 19:07, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

- As one of the main contributors to this page, I respectfully disagree with you. You removed links from reliable, unaffiliated news sources. (Orange County Register) [1][2][3][4]
- To compare your own notoriety to Bruno's is wholly irrelevant. Notwithstanding that fact, a simple google search of your name and Bruno's name will clearly demonstrate you are indeed incorrect. There are roughly a dozen of pages of news articles, interviews from independent news sources, magazines, etc. demonstrating Bruno's notoriety around the world. Sure, he has several links to his own site - which benefit his philanthropic works. 100% of the proceeds from his books are used to feed homeless and underprivileged children, to the tune of 5,055 per day.[5]
- You are correct that "the only thing that remains of note is the CNN Hero angle" about Bruno's charity. This is due to the fact that, as you've admitted, you deleted the rest (including the links to other, unaffiliated and notable news sources).
- "Average Joes" do not get knighted by Italian Government[6] and by the Italian Royal Family[7].
- "Average Joes" do not raise over $200,000 in donations on kickstarter that someone else started for you. This was reported by several prominent news sources, such as CBS and ABC7.[8][9] The community has gathered to support Bruno because of his notoriety that came about due to his charity, Caterina's Club.
- You are right in pointing out the page was deleted in 2011. At that point, Bruno had not been knighted (twice), and his philanthropy "Caterina's Club" was only feeding a couple hundred kids every night. Now, Caterina's Club is feeding 5,055 Orange County and Los Angeles children that are underprivileged and from no-to-low-income families. He is notable in the Southern California area and around the world. [10] He's provided over 3,000,000 FREE meals to these kids. I think this is anything BUT ordinary and average. This page should not be deleted.

- Jorm, thank you for your profound interest in the great work Mr. Serato and Caterina's Club do. I am proud to say I am a Board Member of Caterina's Club. I do not receive any compensation whatsoever for my position. I am not an employee of Mr. Serato or any entity controlled by or associated with him. I was not asked to contribute to Mr. Serato's page by anyone. Though it is clear I have an interest in the work Mr. Serato does, I do not believe being interested in a topic in any way changes the veracity of what was posted. The links to third party news sources (including OC Register, CBS, ABC7, OC Catholic) are in no way, shape, or form created by me. The details in the links on Mr. Serato's page evidence facts that are mostly statistical in nature - such as the number of kids fed for free every night (5,055) and the fact he has been knighted twice - and are not based on opinions (such as "I think I am more notable than this individual"). I am uncertain how any bias would influence the data evidenced by these links. --HeikkiVeharanta (talk) 04:24, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Extremely minor character with little to no coverage in reliable secondary sources. The article itself is pretty much limited to in-universe plot information without using any reliable sources, and I was unable to find any additional sources anywhere. It could potentially be Redirected to Protectors (comics), but as that group is fairly unnotable itself, and would likely not survive an AFD, I don't really see the benefit of doing so.

Completely uncited article. Numerous factual errors, especially paragraphs 5-6 of the "History" section. Paragraph 4 of the same section is completely uncited; as a long-time user of The Palace, I can confirm I've never heard those quoted valuations. Additionally, I have absolutely no idea who "Patrick" and "Ingemar" are. Perhaps most problematic is the "Website outages" section and the Lede. The domain name "communities.com" was bought when it was released by the .com domain name registrar; thus, the current website, to the extent it exists, bears absolutely no relation to "Communities.com" as a company. Rarely would or should WP:TNT be invoked at AfD, but this is one of them.
In short, a total dumpster fire of an article that reflects extremely poorly on Wikipedia, particularly since some of these errors have been outstanding since Wikipedia was, notionally, a "toddler."
Full Disclosure: As a past side hobby, I own and maintain the unofficial project, The Palace Legacy Project, whose "Palace History" page provides a factual account of the Communities.com history (though, it, on its own, is, crucially, not a reliable source regardless of how accurate it is).

- Keep This is a college in the general sense of the word, that is so large some of its sub-units are denoted as schools. It is a major portion of the university and is clearly notable. If the article is to be deleted, the contents need to be merged into the larger article on BYU. The sources include a published book and an article in a published newspaper, neither of which can be relegated to the label "primary source".John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:41, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Johnpacklambert:@Tedder: I completely disagree with your analysis per WP:VERIFIABILITY. The book was published by the university itself and is therefore not independent of the subject, and the newspaper article is an obituary and not about the department. The RFC at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES requiring independent sources for schools should also apply to their departments.4meter4 (talk) 11:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Coincidentally I came across researcher Sarah Coyne today, who (in)famously studied the link between Disney princesses and generally negative gender stereotypes. The common name for the college/department/unit/sub-unit is "BYU School of Family Life", here's a google news search for that. It's addressed as such in this article, another researcher is mentioned under that name in this article, and there are certainly others under that search. None of those are about the department, but the alternate name might help for those trying to find references to it. tedder (talk) 19:16, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- BYU School of Family Life is a sub-unit of this college. Notice, one is a school, the other is a college. Other sub-units are the School of Social Work, the Department of Polytical Science, the Department of History, the Department of Psychology, the Department of Anthropology (which the article spends a chunk of information on, including some of its sub-units), the Department of Economic, the Department of Georgraphy, and there are a few more.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:37, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

- Comment note I am biased on this (see my user page), but I could see this going both ways. At BYU, the college in question is at the same level of organization as, for example, the J. Reuben Clark Law School, (which per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES would be kept) and according to this source is the largest college at BYU. At the same time, it lacking in independent sources with significant coverage, that would be an argument for deletion. At the least, I'd argue for a merge to BYU. Rollidan (talk) 19:38, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Since I studied for over 3 years in this college, I am not an unbiased person on the coverage. Bear in mind, in two of those years our college alumni of the year who spoke at a Thursday meeting during homecoming week (provided by the Devotional open block Tursday morning at 11), was a history department grad. While I was there Magleby, a political scientist, was the college dean. This is one issue that some people may not have considered. Actions of the BYU history department, georgraphy department, etc, are not always going to be tagged as related to the college they are in. For example here [2] is the announcement of the BYU History Department's first endowed chair (althoughat that time a history professor, Ignacio Garcia, held an endowed chair through the Charles H. Redd Center for Western US History, don't ask why that is not a sub-unit of the history department, it has to do with a long history related to moves between the history department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and BYU in the 1970s and 1980s, although not fully played out until about 2010 when many of the early moves were reversed with the rise of the Joseph Smith Papers Project, as I say, a long history), the article never mentions this college outside of the heading.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

- We've had this discussion before, but WP:ROUTINE actually applies to the coverage of people and events - see WP:NOTROUTINE which defines it as "people or events" in its lede. (Since we've had this argument before, I'm going to agree to disagree and leave it at that.) SportingFlyer T·C 05:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've added more detail to the essay. Please don't try to make people believe guidelines say something that they don't. The word "routine" in Wikipedia:Notability (people) only exists in a footnote about the Internet Movie Database. That doesn't apply here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:06, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Paulmcdonald, do you mind providing us with some links showing "feature articles in the news from his college career". All I can find is this, this, this, and this. It is important to note that all of these articles were printed on the same day (Dec 20/21, 2012) and all focus on him committing to Ole Miss. Two of these "articles" are from BleacherReport and SBNation, which routinely focus on these type of minor sports-focused news pieces, and one is from a regional newspaper. This is standard coverage for a single event, but that doesn't make him notable. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:01, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Repinging Paulmcdonald. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:56, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- In addition to the ones you found and those in the article, here's a batch of general broad coverage: Trick play backfires on Arkansas, sparks Ole Miss (November 10, 2013); Top JUCO recruit Hooks signs with Ole Miss football (Dec 19, 2012); The Most Important Rebels, No. 23: Woodrow Hamilton (July 2, 2014); Rebels sniff out, snuff out Hogs’ razzle-dazzle try (Nov 2013); Football Still Matters: Ole Miss Defensive Line (Jan 12, 2015); Defense Leads Ole Miss To Win Over Memphis (September 28, 2014). Some are passing mentions, some provide more details. In any event, we have a broad selection of material that is more than enough to build the article which is what WP:GNG calls for. I can't say I'm "enthusiastic" about this particular subject/article, but it makes sense to me that the threshold has been met.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:40, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Those are almost entirely passing mentions except for the one article about his signing with Ole Miss. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:17, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Agree with Eagles247. And again, the only article that isn't a passing mention is about him signing with Ole Miss (posted on Dec 19, 2012), which is the focus of the articles that I provided. WP:GNG doesn't concern itself with whether there is enough info to build an article, it is whether the subject is notable for inclusion. The sources provided fall well below "Significant coverage" bar required by WP:GNG. I will also point to the last bullet of WP:GNG, which states that even if a subject is found in reliable sources, the presumption of notability doesn't guarantee inclusion. He is mentioned in 15 sources or so, with the only "feature sources" found during a 3 day period all reporting on the fact that he committed to a college. This doesn't get close to meeting WP:GNG. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:GNG with a lack of significant coverage from multiple, independent, reliable sources. The article is generally a series of transactional/routine signings and releases, which does not improve Wikipedia. It cannot improve without significant coverage.—Bagumba (talk) 10:25, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment re: ROUTINE There is mention of ROUTINE at the WP:NCOLLATH guideline:
College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics, mentions in game summaries, or other WP:ROUTINE coverage.
—Bagumba (talk) 10:30, 14 November 2019 (UTC) - Delete Contemplated closing this and determining consensus, but since it likely would've resulted in a delete and per WP:BADNAC, I decided not to close. Instead, I'll add my comments. Though TribLive isn't listed at the perennial reliable sources table, that doesn't mean we can't cite it in discussions or articles. It appears to have a similar editorial process to BuzzFeed, which is. That article confirms that the subject was sidelined due to an injury part way through his first season. As such, he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. However, as noted, failing WP:NGRIDIRON does not mean a delete, nor does it mean a keep. It comes down to whether he meets WP:GNG. Of all the Google news and web search results I trawled through, most were stats pages and routine coverage, for which WP:ROUTINE is an essay not a policy and there is a counter-essay. As nearly all of the coverage was based off of his either being drafted or his injury/injury progress, it seems clear to me there is not significant coverage. Thus, we have a dual WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON fail. A complicated nomination, but one I'm pleased to support. --Doug Mehus T·C 21:32, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I don't see anything that shows he meets the notability criteria for football players or college athletes. The coverage is typical of what anyone signed by an NFL team would receive and a hundreds of players get temporary contracts every year without ever playing in a regular season game and they are not considered notable.

As written, fails WP:Notability guidelines, specifically, WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Sources are almost all primary sources, and sources 2-3, 6-7, and 10-13 relate to the company's bankruptcy, which does not count as significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV). The only noteworthy item is a single data breach, at source #14, for which sources 15-16 are repeat sources of the single event covered in source #14. As the corporation is now defunct/bankrupt, no prospect of ever meeting standalone notability. Nevertheless, completing the obligatory motions and BEFORE procedures, a Google web search for the article title revealed only directory listings, SEO listings, former social media pages, and press coverage related to either of (a) the corporation's bankruptcy (initial filing and conclusion), which is only trivial and trite press coverage, and (b) the single data breach, for which repeat sources do not count towards WP:SIGCOV.

Business of the Year (26-75 employees): NCIX
Over 18 years ago, NCIX opened its first retail store and have since grown across Canada. NCIX, recognized as Business of the Year, is a computer and electronics retailer offering a wide array of electronics and accessories. Its also the No. 1 computer component e-tailer in Canada.“Richmond has been our home for the past 19 years, and we feel proud of this,” said Sam Li, marketing manager. “We appreciate everyone’s business.”

At the time, Sebastian was working for NCIX, the Richmond-headquartered computer company. He started as a sales representative, but was eventually promoted to a management position. One of his duties was to make product-information videos.
Sebastian started Linus Tech Tips, an arm of NCIX that would allow him to publish at a lower-production cost. The new channel, Sebastian said, allowed him to publish videos more frequently and would “absolve the company of some of the responsibility for whatever it is I might say.”
The Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel started to gain followers, but the NCIX channel was still dominant.
In 2013, Sebastian decided to leave NCIX, through an agreement, and brought the Linus Tech Tips channel and its trademark with him.

The article notes:
Founded in 1996, NCIX primarily served western Canadian residents. After building a sizable online presence and looking to expand, the company opened brick and mortar stores in the Vancouver area and later added additional locations in Ontario. Once the Canadian market was well covered, NCIX set up a distribution center in the United States in 2011.
Moving forward to July 2017, NCIX shut down several of its retail stores in eastern Canada and closed its office in Markham, Ontario. Then in November, five more stores were shut down. At this time, customers were told to file chargebacks with financial institutions for orders that were not fulfilled.
Now, all NCIX retail stores have been closed and show no signs of returning. The Supreme Court of British Columbia will hear the bankruptcy case filed by NCIX. At this time it is advised that no orders are placed due to the possibility of not receiving a product and being unable to obtain a refund.
Where exactly NCIX went wrong is still open to debate. Competition from Amazon, Newegg, and other online sites may have been too much. Regardless of the reasoning, costs clearly have outweighed revenue for some time now. For those interested in hearing more possible reasons of failure, listen to some insight from two well known former employees.

The article notes:
NCIX filed for bankruptcy last Friday after closing down its last walk-in retail store. The exact reasons why the company had run out of money are not disclosed officially, but chatter indicates that NCIX spent too much on retail stores and too little on improving the efficiency of its online business.
NCIX (or Netlink Computer Inc.) was founded in 1996 by Steve Wu in Burnaby, British Columbia. Initially, NCIX was a walk-in retail outlet, but in 1997 the company began to sell products online, attracting customers both from Canada and the US. Over the years, NCIX established multiple walk-in stores in Canada and expanded its online business in North America to a point when it had to build a distribution center in California to serve its customers from the US. faster and cheaper. For years, the company has competed both against traditional retailers as well as against online rivals like Amazon and Newegg. NCIX survived multiple PC retailers in Canada, which encouraged it to focus on “real” stores. So instead of investing in online sales assets (such as warehouses, distribution centers, and delivery methods), the company invested heavily in large walk-in retail outlets in the recent years, its former employees say. In total, the company used to have about a dozen of retail locations in Canada, all of which were expensive to run.

The article notes:
Last Friday, Netlink Computer Inc., better known to DIY system builders as NCIX, filed for bankruptcy in Vancouver, Canada, after shuttering the last of its brick and mortar stores. It's not clear what exactly led to this point, though it's quite possible the company focused too much on its physical stores and not enough on its web business.
Some companies have had a hard time fully embracing the online sales model after thriving for some time with physical storefronts. It didn't seem likely that NCIX would make that mistake. It began as a walk-in retail business when it was founded in 1996 by Steve Wu in Burnaby, British Columbia, but started selling products online a year later.
Over the years, NCIX expanded by opening several physical stores. It also built a bigger presence in the United States, though it faced stiff competition from Amazon and Newegg. According to Anandtech, that's the reason why NCIX poured more resources into opening offline stores, rather than investing more in warehouses and distribution centers for its online business.
That said, NCIX did set up a distribution center in the US in 2011. However, it hasn't been nearly as aggressive as Amazon or Newegg in the online space. Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips stated in a YouTube video that this is one of the reasons why he left the company several years ago, after advancing about as high as a person could. He also criticized upper management. Skip ahead to the 41:40 mark to hear all of what he had to say:

The article notes:
North American shoppers, especially Canadians, have probably heard of or used the popular online and brick-and-mortar retailer of computer hardware NCIX before. Founded as Netlink Computer Inc.in Burnaby, British Columbia, the retailer was a brick-and-mortar store before becoming the online giant it’s better known as today. Before bankrupting, NCIX operated several retail stores in British Columbia and Ontario and a distribution center in California.
We don’t know what caused the bankruptcy, but signs of trouble had already begun appearing in July when NCIX closed all its retail locations in Ontario. Shortly after, it closed a bunch of retail stores in its home market of British Columbia as well. By the end of November, all NCIX retail outlets had closed. The company also stopped fulfilling online orders around the same time and opened a thread on its forums for users to request refunds and cancellations.

Vancouver-based tech retailer NCIX filed for bankruptcy late last year, closing more than a dozen stores and auctioning off most of its remaining goods — hardware and software.

Up until December 1, 2017, when it filed for bankruptcy, NCIX was a privately-held company in Canada in the business of selling computer hardware and software. It competed with Amazon and Newegg but its focus on walk-in outlets rather than online sales brought the company down.
Security consultant Travis Doering of Privacy Fly decided to act on a selling offer on Craigslist that promised two NCIX database servers for CAD 1,500, but he later found that the seller, identified as Jeff, actually had "NCIX’s entire server farm from the east coast."

When a company goes bankrupt what happens to the customer data? In one case, it ended up for sale on Craigslist.
That's what a system analyst in Canada recently found: A shady Craigslist dealer was offering access to millions of customer records taken from unwiped servers used by the electronics retailer NCIX, which went bankrupt in 2017.
"It sounds crazy how negligent this company was," said Travis Doering, who uncovered the sale and was once an NCIX customer. "I personally feel so betrayed by this."
This week, he wrote up the incident in a blog post, which appears to have sparked a police investigation into the sale. According to Doering, at least some of the data goes back 15 years and was entirely stored in plain text. It included customer addresses, phone numbers, credit card payment details, and details about items people bought.

The article notes:
Before declaring bankruptcy, and ultimately closing its doors in December 2017, NCIX was a major Canadian computer retailer, with stores across British Columbia and Ontario. In recent weeks, NCIX servers containing terabytes of unencrypted data have appeared for sale on Craigslist. The seller was located in Richmond, BC, a suburb of Vancouver, and was offering servers for $1500 apiece. The seller claimed to also have access to hundreds of computers from NCIX offices.
Travis Doering, owner of cybersecurity firm Privacy Fly, investigated the sale, and found that the hardware contained massive amounts of private data, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, invoices, photos of customer ID, unsalted MD5 hashed passwords, hundreds of thousands of plain-text payment card details, and millions of customer orders.
...
The mistakes made by NCIX are so glaring that this is a pretty simple one to avoid. Sensitive data should always be encrypted in storage, hard drives should be destroyed or securely wiped when decommissioned, and not every record should be retained indefinitely. There is no need for NCIX to have maintained this level of detailed customer data for more than 15 years. Unfortunately, when a company enters bankruptcy and closes down, they are left with little incentive to maintain proper information security.

- Delete - Completely in-universe with no sources beyond the books themselves, nor any evidence that the topic is notable. WJ94 (talk) 15:27, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. This article is terrible. It can't—and shouldn't—be retained in its current form. But. With some of these fiction topics, the problem is that the article authors sliced big-picture topics too deeply (and didn't source, although in 2006 when this was created that was hardly an ironclad expectation), obscuring the fact that there are legitimately notable aspects of some fictional works. Outright deletion compounds the problem, by reducing our coverage of fictional topic spaces to articles (often poor themselves) about the physical sources and their authors alone. Here, for example, the notable topic is almost assuredly not the list of named deities in Moorcock's writing, but rather something akin to Cosmology of the Moorcock multiverse (the exact name is an editorial issue, would depend on precisely how the sources present the matter, and is wholly beside the point). More than one book has been published about Moorcock's works and their themes, and the first two I found both consider the religion and cosmology of the setting in some detail (Scroggins, Mark (2015). Michael Moorcock: Fiction, Fantasy, and the World's Pain. McFarland. ISBN 978-1-4766-2417-4. and Gardiner, Jeff (2015). The Law of Chaos: The Multiverse of Michael Moorcock. Headpress. ISBN 978-1-909394-19-3.). Other sources for such an article are likely also extant; I'm not a Moorcock expert, and gave this a relatively cursory search. I don't pretend that such an article (which could also clean up Law and Chaos and several other Moorcock-related topics) is going to be written during the 7-day AFD window, nor even a more expansive time frame allotted by relists; certainly, my hands are full elsewhere, and I don't have time to do it. That's the outcome the project should desire here. But the article we have instead is unsourced, over-focused, and tonally inappropriate; it absolutely meets the standards for deletion, so that's what I fully expect we'll do instead. And then on to the next one... Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:09, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Honestly, I feel a full TNT and building from the ground up once someone has drafted a proper article is the best course of action. There might certainly be a few FA potential articles from such a series, but the amount of work needed means that will likely never happen without a set of people truly interested in the project. Paring it down to a few essential pages and leaving the building blocks on the talk page would help. TTN (talk) 16:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- I have to agree with TTN on this one. I can accept that a Cosmology of the Moorcock multiverse article could be notable; however I can't see how much of the present article would realistically be appropriate to include. I don't think that such an article would warrant the minute details of every deity, as is present in the current article and I don't see much else which is worth saving. If you want to save the history here, then I see no problem with you saving a copy in your userspace — but I'm not convinced the article as it stands would be helpful to anyone wishing to write the article you suggest. WJ94 (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Things like this can be helpful as research tools insofar as they provide viable search terms for the development of a better article, not because a better article would resemble this in any real sense. That said, please don't draftify this one to my user space. I wish I could help, but I'm trying to source and fix pretty much all of the D&D articlespace, and I only have so much time. That said, I think my preference here would be redirect to Elric of Melniboné to preserve this in article history for later editors. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

No prejudice against retargeting the redirect to a "list of characters" type article if one gets made. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:18, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The BBC are working on a televised version of the Runestaff series and Hawkmoon is the hero so we'll be hearing a lot more about him. Policies which mandate retention include WP:ATD, WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 14:13, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- WP:CRYSTAL. There are plenty of shows where none of the characters receive any attention whatsoever. The series would need to be GoT-level to automatically expect notability to be established for major players. If there happen to be enough non-clickbait articles about it, it can be recreated at that time. TTN (talk) 14:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: @Andrew Davidson: - a viable option may be to create a list page for the characters or creating a list section on the main page for the series. This could redirect there and when/if the coverage comes about, it can be restored. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 19:27, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Lack of substantive sources establishing notability of the topic, perhaps some can be merged to The History of the Runestaff. Fun fact! WP:NOTPAPER doesn't "mandate retention", it actually says "Consequently, this policy is not a free pass for inclusion: articles must abide by the appropriate content policies". WP:ATD also doesn't mandate retention, it allows for merging and is on the page that explicitly says "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline" is grounds for deletion!

- Transwiki and delete. If he becomes notable, we can restore it. For now he fails WP:NFICTION. But our entry seems better than https://stormbringer.fandom.com/wiki/Dorian_Hawkmoon ; please consider copying content there first before nuking this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:01, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect to The History of the Runestaff - The character currently does not have the coverage in reliable secondary sources needed to sustain an article, and suggesting we keep it because he might become notable later due to the upcoming show is pure WP:CRYSTAL. I was initially going to suggest that redirecting to the article on the series he was the main character of was a sensible solution, but actually looking at that article and for sources on it revealed that it was pretty bare bones in terms of notable coverage itself. So, in the end, I am fine with either option. Rorshacma (talk) 16:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. The extent of the significant coverage hasn't really been addressed directly by those favoring delete, but there seems to be disagreement as to whether/how BLP1E is applicable.

- Lean delete per BLP1E. Most sources covering her are solely due to the fact that she's the first Hmong-American judge in Minnesota. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 03:21, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete being the first x-American judge in some state is not a sign of notability. With very few exceptions, the position has to make you notable or coverage of actions makes you notable. This level of judge is very rarely notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Lean delete. Reference Notability guideline for state court judges, specifically this bit:
Such judges are not inherently notable, but holding such a position is strong evidence of notability that can be established by other indicia of notability. In particular, state courts of appeals judges who serve for a comparatively long time, who preside over important cases, or whose opinions are often cited by higher courts in the state, by federal courts, or by state courts in other states, are highly likely to be notable
. It's possible that this one could eventually receive similarly prominent coverage but we're not at that stage yet IMHO. 38.142.216.106 (talk) 16:49, 6 November 2019 (UTC) - Keep. Reference Politicians and judges which states that "[m]ajor local political figures who have received significant press coverage" and that a "politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles by journalists" do not meet deletion standards. There are more than enough independently published articles/news videos about her by journalists including the two cited on her page and more from KSTP, Asian American Press, Hmong Times, NBC, Mitchell Hamline School of Law, KVRR, and The Leader-Telegram. Regardless of why she is being covered, these sources discuss her life history and significance in both state and national levels of history. And BLP1E states that all three conditions must be met for a page to be deleted. Clearly, the third one ("If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented") does not apply here, as this subject has been very well documented.

- Weak Keep meets WP:GNG was the first Hmong-American judge in Minn. The article could use an experienced editor to clean up and develop. But WP:NOTCLEANUP Lightburst (talk) 21:30, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: This judge is significant only because she is the first Hmong judge in Minnesota (at the time there were others, in California and Wisconsin); as a single-county district court judge, she is low profile other than locally; and the event itself is not of great significance (there are now two other Hmong judges in Minnesota). This BLP was created as an attack page, which should also weigh in the balance. As nominator, I of course vote to delete. Kablammo (talk) 12:55, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete based on the news coverage I've been able to find, fails WP:BLP1E - don't really know how to expand the article and almost all the coverage is from when she was appointed a judge. In terms of BLP1E #3 as discussed above, I don't think becoming a judge is a "significant event," it is routine. While I wouldn't mind a keep based on the nature of her accomplishment, the sourcing does not currently support that. SportingFlyer T·C 10:45, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As well as the coverage included above, which dates from 2010, 2017 and 2018, there is also coverage in earlier newspapers, such as the Leader-Telegram, Eau-Claire, Wisconsin in 2002 (this gives her original name Yeu Vue, and how she derived her current name from joining Vue with her husband's family name Lo) [4]; and the La Crosse Tribune 2004 [5]. So that is coverage from at least 2002-2018, and several are profiles of a good length (2002 [6], 2010 [7], 2018 [8]). I don't see how it could possibly be BLP1E when she was only appointed as a judge in December 2017. I will add some more sources and info. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:19, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- I would argue, and fairly strongly, that the coverage she received from Eau Claire and La Crosse was not from any "event" she was notable for, but rather simply the local newspaper interviewing a local, and that BLP1E still applies. SportingFlyer T·C 11:28, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

This is one of those musician articles that stretches fortunate connections and inherited notability in an attempt to not seem promotional. Most of the article's current sources are to social media, retail, and industry listing sites. Other sources are about events in which he merely appeared and may not even mention him by name.

The article is about a non notable temple in Gujarat and this was rightly AfDed by Harshil. I understand that there may be language or cultural barriers for folks that are not from India, so for them here are the main points.
- The article is about a temple in Bhat, Daskroi village in Gujarat. That temple is not notable. if someone believes it is notable, then reliable source for that will be needed here.
- The article also mentions a temple in Kangra (Himachal Pradesh). That temple is not notable. if someone believes it is notable, then reliable source for that will be needed here.
- There is a temple with the same name at another location in Gaziabad Uttar Pradesh. But this article at AfD is not about it.
- These three temples are not related to each other in any way, they are named similarly as they belong to the same diety. There is no franchise in India for this diety, like there are churches in US or UK. so the dab will not work here (not unless someone finds at least 2 notable temples with the same name).
- If someone wants to make this article about the notable temple in Gaziabad, then he would need to rewrite it from scratch. There is nothing in the article at present to WP:PRESERVE. Hence I voted to Delete. Now I see Harshil has removed all the unsourced claims, but the article is still about a non notable temple, and unless someone decides to write another article at the same location, it cannot be kept. I would request both 4meter4 and Doncram to change their !vote to Delete or present hard evidence to support a Keep vote here.DBigXrayᗙ 17:15, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, sure, i am serious. One or more of these are apparently notable. It is indicated above that the article should maybe be edited to focus on the one in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh. I don't know, if these are closely related then there could be one article covering several; if not, then split out separate articles and convert this to a disambiguation page. Sure, go ahead and do that. --Doncram (talk) 03:21, 4 November 2019 (UTC) 15:46, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Doncram: Are you serious? This article is misleading. It mentions three Indian states namely HP, UP, Gujarat. Do you even know what’s distance between them? It’s like making article on church situated in New york (lead), Chicago (infobox) and Texas(history). This article must be deleted because it is nonsense. — Harshil want to talk? 02:17, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Still strong debate in both directions

- 2 weeks have passed and I would note that no evidence has been presented so far by anyone to claim that the subject of the article as it stands right now is notable to have an article. None of the content (which is basically WP:OR) is fit to WP:PRESERVE--DBigXrayᗙ 07:19, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Granted, the prior references were (1) to a festival in celebration of Shiva, not to this temple, (2) to a different temple in a different Indian state published in an WP:SPS, (3) a prayer in the same SPS, and (4) to a guru at the same temple in (2) again published in that SPS. None of this even approaches WP:GNG but there references in RS to this as a place of pilgrimage and tourism in Himachal Pradesh: [15], [16], [17]. This just squeaks over the bar for GNG notability and we determine if the subject is notable, not the article in its current state. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Eggishorn appreciate your efforts but these 3 refs that you posted above are all about a temple named "Kaleshwar Mahadev Temple" that is an altogether different temple, why are you posting them in an AfD for an article about Dudheshwar Mahadev. The names are clearly different, how could you miss that ? --DBigXrayᗙ 18:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

As with previous AfDs my caveat is I'm not sure how effective Google search is in Farsi, and I have some doubt as to whether the mainstream media in Iran really covers much of popular culture at all.

- Delete but not speedy. I disagree with JPL in two ways: First, I think a reasonable number of TV screenwriters can be notable, for instance as winners of the Writers Guild of America Awards (but certainly not merely by having written episodes that were produced). And second, I think that being a screenwriter for an episode of a well-known production can be enough of a claim of notability to avoid speedy deletion. But in this case, I am unable to find in-depth coverage of her that would pass WP:GNG. And certainly giving up on screenwriting to become an English teacher at an international school is unlikely to lead to WP:PROF or any other kind of notability for that aspect of her life. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Unlike the classic Galactic Empire (Star Wars) and such, the new movies faction has generated very little coverage/reception. Sure, there is a little, I mean, it's STAR WARS, but it's all just some mentions in passing/fictional descriptions. Besides the two-three sentences on writer's inspiration with Nazi apologetics/survivors, I don't think there is anything to work with, and that section can be safely merged into one about the movie this faction first debuted in. And all the fictional info and such is already much better described at https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/First_Order . Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:53, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The First Order appears in several movies and books that are notable and articles on their own. Having an article on this organization is a useful companion piece that is best on its own, and not within a single movie's article. Alaney2k (talk) 18:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Apearing in a bunch of media is insufficient if they are all primary (fiction) works. Which sources provide analysis of real world significance/impact of the concept? So far all we have are one-two sentences about the script writer inspiration with Nazi fans. Interesting, but even that is not in-depth in the sources cited. This is not sufficient to demonstrate this WP:PLOT element is notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:07, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Yeah, the coverage isn't as broad and long in history as the Empire, but it's still clearly passes the GNG. Being not as notable doesn't mean it is not notable. oknazevad (talk) 19:02, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. The page should definitely be edited and re-phrased but I believe that it is notable enough is featured in enough movies to stay. Dellwood546 (talk)
- Keep The page needs a lot of work, but the topic itself satisfies gng due to being a central aspect in many notable movies. I think that the fact that it is less notable compared to the Empire is not a reason to delete. Taewangkorea (talk) 21:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Agree with the above comments; article needs work but is notable and there are many reliable sources out there that could be used to improve it (as the recent edits by Alaney2k already indicate). — Hunter Kahn 15:52, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. I do commend User:Alaney2k on his creation of First_Order_(Star_Wars)#Themes, but I still feel uneasy that this is the extent of media coverage that is sufficient for notability. It's effectively is one-two sentence analysis. There seem like nothing else we can write about it that is not in-universe. Is this really sufficient for a stand-alone article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:09, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks. I realize it's just a start. I've only tried to organize it like Galactic Empire (Star Wars) so far. I think I have some research to do on what should or should not be included. If anyone has a suggested article to follow, I am interested in continuing to bring this up to standard. Alaney2k (talk) 15:41, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- Weak delete As a fan of Francis E. Dec's writings, I really wanted to keep this one, but the sources I could find didn't convince me that he meets GNG. The book cited in the article is definitely substantive coverage, and this book by Donna Kossy also covers him, although I don't know to what extent. Our article on Kossy calls it "the first biography of Francis E. Dec", so if we trust that, it's probably reasonably detailed. But those two sources seem to be all there is outside of zines, fansites and blogs. So I'll have to go with delete unless more sources turn up. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Kooks has a 5 page chapter on him (note that it's a large format book, 8.5 x 11). I can't access any of the content, though. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 12:21, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - I was skeptical at first, but Google turned up 70,800,000 results - among them was the book "The Technical Delusion: Electronics, Power, Insanity" by Jeffrey Sconce, published in 2019 by Duke University Press which cited Dec well over 10x. That tells us there is long term encyclopedic value in keeping and expanding the article. There is an article in Medium (website) but I'm not all that familiar with the source. There is also this book and this one, both of which cite the WP article about him, and that tells me we need to make sure the article is accurate. Just my nickel's worth.

- Medium is a blog site, and those two books seem to be generated by bots that scrape Wikipedia articles. The Technical Delusion is definitely a good source though, and I've put in a request at WP:RX for the Kossy book I mentioned above... if its coverage of Dec is substantial I might change my vote.

- Keep I believe he meets GNG based on being profiled in the Sconce book and the multiple other sources noted by Sconce. This is one of those folks who falls into the pre-Google age as far as sources go, but he definitely was a high profile lunatic in his time. I’m finding limited caselaw on him, but google scholar popped up two appeals that were denied, can’t find the lower court cases, though: [19] Someone transcribed his legal appeals here. I don’t have access to paid legal databases, but he did seek cert at the US Supreme Court in 1961-62 and it was denied twice. There’s an off-wiki article on him that might have been a previously deleted one here that maybe folks can check the sources on. He seems to have had a brief cult following noted here Montanabw(talk) 18:23, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Redirect to Nazi crime.Delete, changing per Kusma's rationale. It's a POVish list mixing up war crimes, breaches of international law, immoral behaviour, and simple repressive government. SpinningSpark 01:16, 9 November 2019 (UTC)- Delete. I think Nazi crime is quite a bit more specific, as it is an article about a Polish legal concept. As a list article, it would need a precise definition of "crime", and a precise definition which crimes are to be ascribed to "Nazi Germany". In its current state, it is a poorly defined WP:POVFORK of Nazi Germany. Alternatively, this and Nazi war crimes could redirect to Category:Nazi war crimes. —Kusma (t·c) 10:03, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Seems to fail WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. Some mentions in passing but the only somewhat in-depth source is the cited open access academic article - but it's a two-page essay, and not very in-depth if one cares to read it. If that source is the only one providing a shred of notability, a case could be made for merging his entry with Dr. Hibbert.

- Keep
or Merge to their local area articles or alternatively Transperthas a viable alternative to deletion that is not being considered here - some of these articles do contain sources about the establishment of the infrastructure, whichwhile they may not be notable enough for their own page,are appropriate for local or transport company articles. Deleting these pages is just a waste of the work done on them. Bookscale (talk) 09:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)- Comment - and the comment about it not being a platform for promotion is just ridiculous. How does it violate that policy? Bookscale (talk) 09:43, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. These bus stations are (or were) a significant part of the public transport system, and easily able to be fixed up and expanded with some work: for example, Karrinyup bus station is the public transport hub for that entire area of the city, with the sources that come with that - though I'm not surprised that someone who doesn't know that Glendalough is a train station and calls it "Glendale" might not be aware of that. Suggesting that articles on public transport infrastructure is "promotional" is comical. There is nowhere that these articles could be merged in a way that wouldn't lose their content - it would be a massive undue weight issue in Transperth, for example, which is the entire city transport network, and there is no harm in keeping them where they are. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:08, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment from the nom. I know very well Glendalough is a train station, and knew when I nominated it for deletion. Unfortunately, that article is very poorly sourced per multiple secondary, and independent sourcing, that is why I added it to this AfD. Regarding the other pages, notability has nothing to do with expanding or fixing up by adding some content. There are not multiple, independent sources that significantly cover theses topics as described in WP:GNG. Please provide the sources, if they exist. All sources appear to be quite related to the subject (lacking independent coverage). Therefore, part of the function of all these pages is promotion. By failing notability criteria, these pages publicize and benefit the bus stations and bus routes. I'm not saying this is intentional. I'm saying promotion is a result. And the main point is, Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. Thanks. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:54, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Steve Quinn, with respect I think that argument is not correct at all. If you read WP:NOT, the part of the policy that refers to promotion doesn't refer to anything of the sort that you're discussing here. It talks about advocacy, propaganda or recruitment (which this is not), opinion pieces (which this is not), scandal mongering (which this is not), self-promotion (which this is not), and advertising, marketing or public relations (which this is not). Most of the articles have a couple of sources from the West Australian, or Government web sources that talk about the specific projects about building the relevant bus interchange. They are not unsourced articles. Bookscale (talk) 10:43, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- This set of articles are a form of advertising and marketing - Wikipedia is giving free publicity to each of these stations. Which is unearned because they fail notability.

Also, focusing on WP:Notadvertising is not going to win the day. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 06:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:09, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect Im sorry, but the general notability guidelines on secondary coverage do not really apply to tropical cyclones in regards to whether or not they deserve article. Literally every cyclone, whether it causes damage or not is featured in the news. I see absolutely no reason that an article should exist at this point as this is a pure fishstorm. Coverage in the season article is sufficient for storms of this nature. I hereby say this should be draftified and the main space should redirect to the season article. NoahTalk 03:06, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Fin 22, John M Wolfson, and DelwarHossain: Might I clarify here that every cyclone indeed deserves mention in Wikipedia. The appropriate place for that to occur is on the season article initially. If there is enough content (without bloating the section), an article may be created for the storm. Just because this passes GNG doesn't mean it gets an article. There were many articles deleted back in the day as it was decided that not every storm would get one. While in this case, I feel the AfD is unwarranted, I also feel an article is not warranted. This needs to be a draft until it has some resemblance to an actual tropical cyclone article. The Meteorological history section is full of statements from unofficial sources. The only sources there right now should be the Indian Meteorological Department (the regional specialized meteorological center as designated by the World Meteorological Organization) and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (An agency operated by the United States Airforce and Navy, used for the 1-minute sustained wind information). The lead is also very poor right now. Note the article lacks an infobox and anything relating it to the season it is a part of. Basically, the whole thing needs to be scrapped at this point. As this storm is likely to become notable after making landfall, I would like to request that this be moved to the draft space until such time it is sufficiently developed. Additionally, the main space should be redirected to the season article section. NoahTalk 16:55, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep, Because of Contonius Issue. --— Delwar • 07:59, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Merge because it's better suited in the season article. Not sure the point in this AFD when this could (and the OP recognizes this) be handled with a merger. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:50, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- So it seems that the cyclone is eventually going to make landfall after all. Even then, I think that it's still worth it to merge this article back into the season overview page and re-create it with the proper expertise nearer to then. The article as it currently stands looks nothing like those of other cyclones (e.g. Cyclone Kyarr). Not quite WP:TNT, but close. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 10:37, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The cyclone is projected to make landfall in Gujarat and will likely cause damages. The system has already caused agricultural damage in Gujarat and will likely do more. So better wait for a week to see the overall impact. Like Cyclone Vayu this year, it is going to be major cyclone. Not WP: CRYSTAL but meteorological prediction. -Nizil (talk) 02:46, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

We'll wait and see the full extent of the damage before making a final decision. --JavaHurricane (talk) 16:38, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- Draftify/redirect - the storm could always dissipate over water and not cause major land impacts, so it might eventually be worth merging. As it stands, the article is pretty short, but it's also active. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- Merge Even though it's notable and it passes WP:GNG, it doesn't have a long lasting effect. All Maha is is a decently powerful tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean that will dissipate once it reaches the western Indian coast. Minor damage does not warrant an article because of the same issue, WP:EFFECT. INeedSupport :V 00:32, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect It is very unnecessary to have a article for such a minor cyclone with little information. It may've been strong, but has shown little to no impact to land whatsoever. It's just like Cyclone Hikaa, it hit land as a depression but really doesn't deserve an article for it. Maybe if there's more info on the storm (which there won't be) THEN it will deserve an article.

Subject is a politician and fails WP:NPOL. Subject is a Hillingdon Councillor of a population of HERE-1 - 2018 June 30 - 304,824, who has a record of 2 failed parliamentary elections, and is contesting again for the Conservative seat in for the Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner constituency - see HERE-2. Local coverage from newspaper of the campaign does not apply for politician under WP:BASIC. Candidate needs to be elected in national political position to pass WP:NPOL and not prior.

*Keep, He isn't very well known right now but he is an elected member of Hillingdon Council. I can pretty much guarantee you that he will be elected next month, because its an extremely safe Conservative seat. I don't think there's much point in deleting the page, only for it to be recreated on December 13th, which, in the almost certainty that he is elected on December 13th, he will, because all UK Members of Parliament have pages. See the RNP page to see the majorities held by the Conservative party candidate in the seat. If the page is deleted I will of course respect the decision, and will remake the page as soon as possible if and when he is elected on December 12th, as by that point he will definitely have qualified for a page.Comrade TruthTeller (talk) 04:04, 8 November 2019 (UTC) creator of the page
- Delete, Cassiopeia is correct. I can only promise that my creation of this article was not in bias (I am not a member of the party of the candidate), and I apologise for appearing to be biased.Comrade TruthTeller (talk) 04:04, 8 November 2019 (UTC) creator of the page
- Comment. Comrade TruthTeller As the creator of the article, your guarantee plays not part in the variable in the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Politicians is deemed notable "only after" they are elected and "not" prior. To have a non elected politician in Wikipedia is like having well-known, heavy traffic platform to promote/advertise the political campaign for the candidates which is WP:What Wikipedia is not. Page can be recreated when the ballot is counted and "if" the candidates is elected and not before. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Comrade TruthTeller I restored your edits above and striked them out for the reason that my message above would not make sense and seemed I was accusing you of something, "your guarantee......" , which came out of nowhere. It is also a norm to strike thought our vote if we change our mind after some new evident/understanding. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 05:15, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete, without prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins. People don't get articles just for being candidates in future elections they have not yet won — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. Predictions about his likelihood of winning don't count for anything either: in accordance with WP:CRYSTAL, we are not in the business of publishing advance electoral projections. But there's no other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons here, and serving on a local borough council is not an "inherently" notable office that gets a person into Wikipedia either. Obviously this will be recreated in due time if he wins, although even then the format and sourcing will have to be different than this, but simply being a candidate is not already enough as of today.

- Delete for now. While I see no sign of bias by the article's creator, the fact is at the moment the subject does not seem to meet notability standards. Being a current parliamentary candidate, even for a seat the candidate is favoured to win, is not enough. If he is elected, then it would of course be entirely appropriate to recreate the article and this is an approach I would favour in any similar cases to avoid any suggestion of bias.

The result was delete. OK, subjects of an article are allowed to comment in deletion discussions about that article. That said, the consensus here is strongly leaning towards the topic and subtopics not meeting WP:SIGCOV criteria. I see some merge arguments but they have not really indicated how GNG/SIGCOV would be met even after merging; thus delete all it is. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep all. I am the subject of the article in question, but my personal interest in this discussion does not change the facts. It seems that Naddruf’s nearly two dozen edits have addressed the various issues others have brought up with the article. On the notability issue, it seems odd to hear this being questioned, especially since the article has been up for over 12 years. Whatever you may think of the 358 edits made by 147 editors to the article--whether glowing, glowering, or anodyne--please consider the bare facts of my curriculum vitae at [1], which also has dozens of links to my articles, books, interviews, and films. Here are some of the items on the CV or its links:
- I have made or was the subject of five, feature documentary films that have been in many film festivals since 2007.
- New Urban Cowboy: Toward a New Pedestrianism[2], has a 9.3 IMDB rating, was in 12 film festivals, won an audience favorite award, and had a number of positive reviews.
- The above film documents me rebuilding an inner city drug slum into the award-winning “mixed-use, mixed-income, mixed-race” Garden District neighborhood in DeLand,Florida.[3]
- My 2011 documentary on homelessness, Out of the Woods: Life and Death in Dirty Dave’s Homeless Camp, has had some 673,000 viewings on YouTube [4], and led to the building of a homeless shelter near Daytona Beach.
- I am a widely published artist with many original prints and reproductions still in circulation (just search images for “Michael E. Arth etching”), and a large format art book, Introspective, which came out in 1983.[5] I was also a member of the “Armadillo Art Squad” as a poster artist for the Armadillo World Headquarters in the Austin music scene in the early 70s. My etchings can be seen in the Harold Pinter written film, Betrayal, Will Farrell’s Semi-Pro, and the TV series, Stranger Things. I was also the subject of various one-man shows and my work is in several museum collections.
- Have had two books published with at least two more forthcoming, and have written many articles.
- Designed and/or constructed over 60 building projects in TX, CA, and FL.
- Recognized internationally as an urban designer. I have given talks on my New Pedestrianism in the US, Canada, Sweden, and the Netherlands. For example, see this Dutch interview [6].
- Ran for governor of Florida and was the subject of a documentary about it titled Gov’nor)[7]. There were also four cover stories. These appeared in the Daytona News Journal, Orlando Sentinel[8], DeLand Beacon, and the Orlando Weekly. [9] The Orlando Weekly followed up in another article with its endorsement.[10]
- Ran for president and is listed on Wikipedia as a “notable” presidential candidate at 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries
- Featured in various print, TV and radio articles and interviews over the years, as cited in Michael E. Arth.
- My UNICE/LOGOS public policy wiki [11] is the subject of two academic papers and is already existing as a proof of concept.
- Now working on a 13-part docuseries, The Labors of Hercules: Modern Solutions to 12 Herculean Problems.[12]

- @MichaelEArth: That is inappropriate. I am aware that my edits, while reducing the self-promotion, have not solved most of the problems. It is unacceptable for most sources to be your own or interviews you took part in. For them to be notable, someone else must have discussed them. The fact that you published certain books isn't enough for them to be notable. The books must have been discussed by others. If you want to keep these articles, the best thing for you to do would probably be to remove your own sources and the paragraphs that they reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naddruf (talk • contribs) 19:10, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

- @MichaelEArth: you don't seem to be getting it; your very presence on this page is itself problematic. Wikipedia is not your CV, it is not a forum to promote your ideas, and it is not a means to promote your political campaigns. Your CV consists entirely of self-published sources, and the fact that we would need to use your CV to find references demonstrates that you don't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

- Sorry if my presence on this page offends you, but I have declared my conflict of interest and others can judge for themselves if it is problematic. While my CV does have self-published sources, it consists mostly of non-self-published sources that can be independently verified by anyone editing the article.

Please ping me if this goes to ANI or something. That said, phone is notable, easily passing GNG and SIGCOV with breathless non-stop coverage.

Subject of article fails basic WP:GNG notability guidelines & lacks WP:SIGCOV in reliable source. The subject of article is allegedly a writer but references provided mainly speaks of her illness & does not establish her notability as a writer. A thorough WP:BEFORE shows she is only discussed in unreliable media as a patient of cerebral palsy & nothing more. A !delete vote is quite applicable here.

The topic of the article is generally personal and doesn't meet general notability WP:GNG. The article's subject didn't draw much of public attention of the media. Given the pretext of arts and exploration neither of the sources discuss the arts:
- Fails WP:ARTN: Only a few reliable and independent media were cited. Total 4 of 10 sources are primary, the rest are personal:
- Fails WP:NRV: provides affiliated with subject author sources: youtube video,
Russia-based website rbth.com of questionable reliability[note 1] - There is no general coverage of the project in the news (just click "Google" above)[note 2] The coverage
seems to beis short living: two sources are for February 2014, the other two are much later. - Links leading to a personal pages of subject's author which seems to be a kind advertisement which is violation of the WP:PROMO

- Keep - Loads of WP:SIGCOV cited in the article. Really don't know what the nom is thinking about with this - the Guardian and rbth.com (which is a pass for WP:NEWSORG - and anyway is just a translation of an article in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, which is also obviously an RS) references by themselves are enough to sustain notability. As for the coverage being short-lived, two years passed between the Guardian and Rossiyskaya Gazeta articles, which is obviously enough to show lasting coverage. FOARP (talk) 14:59, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- @FOARP:
and anyway is just a translation of an article [...]
The original Russian article in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta isn't about Ontheroofs project (article's subject). It's about climbers and ascending achievement (it's very common for state-run media in Russia to brag about such "achievements").[5] There are in fact two of them.[6] Neither of them mention or refers to any ontheroofs project. They don't even discuss much about the arts or photos. The "translation" published on the rbth.com[7] is not a translation at all. the Guardian [...]
Doesn't mention ontheroofs either.don't know what the nom is thinking about with this [...]
I think that the article was created in order to promote climbers popularity, not to recognize the project's notability. I believe it doesn't deserve a separate article, and must be removed and part of the content must be re-created elsewhere as I said it before. DAVRONOVA.A. ✉ ⚑ 10:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)- That the articles do not explicitly mention the term "Ontheroofs" is completely immaterial to the notability of this article, since the are clearly discussing the Ontheroofs art project. If you wish to change the name of the article to a different title (say, the names of the two artists) then that is a subject for discussion on the article talk-page or even just a WP:BOLD edit. The motives of the people who created the article is immaterial - the notability of the article is what matters. Page-quality issues are not a matter for AFD since AFD is not cleanup. If you think the article needs editing (and it does) then WP:DIY is always worth keeping in mind. Finally, I note that your argument that this article is not notable consists of ... listing coverage in the Russian media further demonstrating notability. FOARP (talk) 11:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- @FOARP: Wikipedia is not a place for personal projects (WP:NOT#MYINVENTION), WP:ORIGINAL or WP:PROMO. Considering that majority of the sources are either personal or primary and they failed to gain significant coverage in media or books — no reason to keep it. DAVRONOVA.A. ✉ ⚑ 13:33, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Which is great, because this isn't simply a personal project. It's a notable subject, as demonstrated by the references. If you want to clean up the article, then please go ahead and do so - but AFD is not clean-up. FOARP (talk) 13:53, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, Wikipedia has rules. WP:GNG for example says that where an article has multiple supporting independent references in reliable sources it's likely to be notable. This one does. You've even helpfully listed some here. Specifically, you've listed newspaper coverage of this project, which is a secondary source. FOARP (talk) 20:23, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
