This person is involved in occupying the wildlife refuge in Oregon. The person is only known for his participation in that event and all references listed in the article are linked to that event. All references cover the event and the people involved as a group, there is little to no discussion of this person individually (except mentioning him as part of the group) prior or before the occupation.

Hard to find information online. Most articles mention him quickly but I didn't find anything that went truly in-depth. Seems to me that it fails WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 04:47, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

The picture of Barbosa I used was uploaded to Wikipedia in 2010 by User:Thachan.makan: I wonder if they'd like to offer an opinion? I made the page because I was tidying up a long list of authors at Goan literature, and making new entries for many of them. The relevant guidelines would be those for creative professionals. I'll add some more material to the entry and hopefully people will agree that this is evidence for 4 (c): 'The person's work (or works) ... has won significant critical attention'. I'd also note that it's harder for a lot of non-Western authors to get the kind of internet profile that Western authors might take for granted, and that Wikipedia should be sensitive to this.

Nikhil Chandwani (Author)[edit]

(Find sources: "Nikhil Chandwani (Author)" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · highbeam · JSTOR)

On the face of it, this is a well-sourced article that refers to reputable newspapers and the author even receives mention on the website of the Indian government's Ministry of External Affairs. But something about this just says "hoax" to me. It caught my attention because of an unsourced claim about the subject receiving a PhD from "White Lake University". After searching I could not find any evidence of such a university existing so I removed the claim. After looking into the sources further, I have found that every link appears to be circular with no true source. Looking at the article's claims of notability in detail:

His "Conspiracy Novel of the Year Award" from the "American Literary Forum Society": I cannot find any mention of this society existing except in relation to their award to him.
The "UK Writers' Award" he has supposedly won: It is a fairly generic name, but I cannot find any mention of the award or the author in UK media.
"Global Indian of the Year Award" from the "Global Indian Forum Society". Searching for this society's name returns only 8 hits in google, all related to their award to the author. At least two Indian newspapers give out an award with the same name, but they have not given it to this author.
His two "Hollywood movies" do not have articles on Wikipedia. The first, "Escape from Kenya" has an entry in IMDB. It mentions him as the writer and director but contains no other information, not even a list of cast. The second, "Amazing Amazon Adventures", brings up too many irrelevant hits. Add "indian movie" and you get 27 fairly meaningless hits, with the first bunch all being self-published by the author, such as his LinkedIn profile.
The original version of the article claimed his book was the highest selling in India in 2013, which is not supported by any sources and was removed during a cleanup of the article.
Finally, I note that this has (author) as unnecessary disambiguation. Nikhil Chandwani was deleted in a 2011 AFD and speedy deleted in 2012 and 2013. The current article was created in May 2015. I can't say whether it is about the same person though.

In summary, if I am wrong and the subject is a successful author, I would like to apologize in advance and congratulate him on his success at such a young age. If I am correct and it is a hoax, I'd like to also congratulate him on getting his name successfully added to so many seemingly reliable sources and creating a very plausible biography.

Article created using unreliable website --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:42, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Delete - Searching for sources show that no real "Secret Menu" actually exists for Starbucks at all. They simply use the phrase "Secret Menu" to provide tips and suggest special requests and different ingredients to be added to drinks that Starbucks serves off of their actual product menu to make the drink be close to a different one that they don't officially offer. This article was written using one source as its primary influence.

Viktor Pimenov[edit]

(Find sources: "Viktor Pimenov" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · highbeam · JSTOR)

There's no indication that this cameraman is notable. I can't find out anything else about him. A Google search turns up mostly Wikipedia mirrors, or short blurbs clearly derived from Wikipedia. One book seemed to refer to him several times, but on closer inspection, it turns out to be a novel with a character who coincidentally carries the same name.

One potential indicium of notability is that he did posthumously receive a Rory Peck award, given to "camera operators who have risked their lives to report on newsworthy events"; [4]. But I don't think that's sufficient to convey notability.

While a tragedy, the only basis for notability here is that he was killed in a war zone and then memorialized for it.

The article was PRODded in 2006 with the comment "Wikipedia is not a memorial; no claim to notability other than the circumstance of his death". The PROD was removed by an IP editor with no comment indicating why. (I initially PRODded it myself before discovering the prior PROD, so have reverted that and brought it to AFD.)

It has been tagged for notability for more than five years. TJRC (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy keep Firstly, the club cannot fail WP:NSPORT, as that guideline does not apply to sports teams. Secondly, I think you may have messed up your Google search, as I get over 75,000 Ghits for "SC Waterloo" (apparently the club's common name) and over 8,500 for the full name. In addition, there are also rather a lot of news stories listed on Google News about the club (including Brazilian news sites). Number 5 7 09:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Disagree. You can of course apply WP:ORG instead of WP:NSPORT, as required by the guidelines, but the notability criteria then become even stricter - significant coverage is then compulsory, while this club has had none. As to Google results, try to scroll to the last result page and only then check the number displayed. Google search engine has this well-documented "feature" where its first result page dhows as possibly having hundreds of times more results than it actually does. For "SC Waterloo", there are 214 hits. See this link: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22sc+waterloo%22&num=100&start=200. For the future, always try to scroll to the last result page in order to learn the actual number of results. — kashmiri ^TALK 10:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

File:WSVNlogo.jpg[edit]

Various non-free screenshots/screen captures of news opens, etc. taken from YouTube and other site which are being used in articles about TV stations. Purely decorative usage since none of these images are really the subject of any sourced commentary at all within their respective articles and also are not needed for the reader to understand that these stations offer news programming at certain times of the day or used a certain logo at one point in time. All of these should be removed per WP:NFCC#8. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:07, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

File:Tombaugh Lapaz 3 3 1954.jpg[edit]

Non-free photo being used in Green fireballs#Anomalous satellites (mid-1950s), Lincoln LaPaz#UFO investigations, and Clyde Tombaugh#Near-Earth satellite search. Each usage has a non-free use rationale, but the claim that this non-free image is needed because it is "a historically significant photo of an important meeting between two famous individuals" does not really satisfy WP:NFCC#8. A non-free image is not needed for the reader to understand that Tombaugh and LaPaz met and worked together. Purely decorative usage which should be removed for sure from "Clyde Tombaugh" and "Green fireballs". It's possible, however, that this could be used as the primary means of identifying LaPaz in "Lincoln LaPaz" since he is deceased, but if that's the case then the relevant non-free use rationale would need to be revised accordingly. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:07, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

"Newton, Iowa" is the only article in this category and it makes no references of any Maytag family members being buried there.

Keep Actually it's a perfectly valid redirect. "My anus is bleeding" is one of the scenes in the "Rejected" collection of animated shorts (ref). See also My spoon is too big, another redirect to this collection of shorts, and I am a banana..yet another. Sure, this title seems rather less than legit, but it is legit. These shorts are not to everyone's tastes, but they have won awards. The "My Anus Is Bleeding" short is available on YouTube. I just found one that's been viewed over 100,000 times. It's a notable enough title to be searched for, and looking at the hits here on Wikipedia for the last 90 days, people are looking for it (65 hits in 90 days). --Hammersoft (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

@Hammersoft: The animated shorts are notable as a whole yes but I am not sure about quotes from the shorts. I didn't see any mention in the article about any of these terms, if this is kept the three you mentioned might want to redirect to Internet meme. At least have something in place that is not in-universe info that explains them. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:34, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
