The result was withdrawn. A closer look at the article reveals that there are sources about Walkin. Although a few appear to be unreliable sources or passing mentions, there are some that likely suffice, such as some online Hebrew articles (which I can't read) and some offline English sources. Deletion is not needed. Cunard (talk) 00:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced article about a non-notable BLP. A Google News Archive search returns no useful sources; nor does a Google Books search. This article should be deleted for failing Knowledge (XXG):Notability (people), Knowledge (XXG):Verifiability, and Knowledge (XXG):Biographies of living persons.

Non-encyclopedic. Knowledge (XXG) isn't a collection of internal links. See WP:SALAT for more. Also nominating List of long place names for the same reason. ~DC Talk To Me 23:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is trivial and impossible to define. JBsupreme (talk) 05:24, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep both And fix inclusion criteria to have longest/shortest place name by country, with WP:RS, of course. Lugnuts (talk) 09:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep The nomination does not have a leg to stand on: "unencyclopedic" is just begging the question and the reference to WP:LINKFARM is inappropriate as lists of this sort are specifically exempted. The topics are evidently notable - see the book Limits of language, for example. And there has been no attempt to engage with the topics by discussion at their talk pages which is contrary to our deletion process. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I guess that "non-encyclopedic" in this instance is a synonym for "crap that shouldn't be in an encyclopedia", and yet this type of thing turns up in reference books anyway. The nominator is right that this is unsourced, for which there is no excuse, but I've seen these in The Book of Lists and what used to be called the "Information Please Almanac". People have been writing and reading about unusual place names since the days of H.L. Mencken. This is an example of where one can objectively describe what makes the name "unusual", with the measure being based on one or two letters in the name. The reason that someone would consult Knowledge (XXG) would be to verify whether there really is such a place as "Å". Mandsford (talk) 15:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep per Mandsford and Colonel Warden. "Unencyclopedic" means nothing unless it is backed up by policy. The list for sure requires better inclusion criteria and some sourcing, but not deletion. --Cyclopia 18:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep the first - "Non-encyclopedic" is just another word for "I don't like it." If a comprehensive, online encyclopedia is not the place for a list of one-and two-lettered real places, then I don't know what is. Places are inherently notable, and non-random lists of such would thus be notable. The nomination neither cites direct policy, nor explains logically why it should be eliminated. This is precisely the sort of thing our core constituency, students at high school and college, would need here, and is commonly kept here by consensus. Not sure about the second list, which is subjective. Bearian (talk) 19:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. Where are the sources about these short place names? The one Colonel Warden supplies certainly doesn't pass any interpretation of WP:N. The fact that some sources consider very short place names (or very long ones) as unusual is already mentioned in Place names considered unusual, where more info can be included. But this is insufficient to have a separate list for subjects which share only a minor, inconsequential characteristic (the length of the placename has no relation to the actual village, apart from those one or two extremely long ones luring tourists by that amusing characteristic). Fram (talk) 08:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
According to the link you provided, it has a section "common place names", and that is the only page the text "short place names" can be found. Fram (talk) 09:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
The sources will/should be in the articles themselves. Lugnuts (talk) 09:45, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • The facts are as I have stated. You have to use quotation marks to get Google Books to show you the section title in a snippet view and such quotation marks do not seem compatible with our link syntax. For an example of a source whose content is more visible, please see The Rotarian. It is possible to find such such in just a minute of searching. Deletion of articles without making such searches is improper as it violates both our deletion and editing policies. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
It's more visible, yes, but it is hardly "significant" (is the official Rotary publication even a reliablesource for non-Rotary related info?). One line, plus five examples, three of which are not even in our list (T.B., OK, and Ai). Amusing trivia, nothing more. Google books has three books that may contain a similar very short section on short place names (the one you gave above, a book by Julius Nicholas Hook (only about the US though) and Ripley's Believe it or Not. Google Scholar has nothing. So neither the sources presented by others or the ones I could find are sufficient as a justification for this list. Fram (talk) 12:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Colonel Warden and Bearian. I don't see this information anywhere else online (existent pages are copies of this one) and it's not the easiest thing to find in the library. It is encyclopedic, it's not available elsewhere. Does each entry need to be cited if it links to an article that is properly cited? Longest names should be a different article; it's a different linguistic phenomenon with language-specific information. --Sainge.spin (talk) 03:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the second deletion discussion for this article; the first (under the original title "List of fictional spaceships") can be found here.

Delete. This list is just far too vague and indiscriminate. I've spent a good deal of time trying to clean it up but I realize it really is just a lost cause. Please note that this has been listed once before approximately one year ago, the result being no consensus. JBsupreme (talk) 23:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Any reason why it can't be both? Mandsford (talk) 15:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. fictional information should be notable OUTSIDE the fictional work, ie in the real world, and not just among fans. if these were discussed outside the fanworld, i could see a small list of ships that got attention like that, not enough to justify an article. star wars and star trek ships have articles already. a few sf novels, like ringworlds ships, maybe tau zero, 2001. most ships are simply vehicles for carrying a story along (pun intended), and are not usually characters in their own right, and rarely notable characters. Making this a category sounds nice.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Clearly an exceptionally notable subject suitable for a list article. How best to organize it or split it up for manageability is an editing issue. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep - Apparently there are entire books on the subject. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:42, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - Inclusion criterion too vast to make list manageable. A category would be more appropriate here.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 03:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

This short article was added with the assumption that it is a hamlet in Alberta. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was. I propose that this article be deleted as it is short, and not notable. 117Avenue (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep all Alberta settlements below, every settlement is notable, even if not recognized as hamlet by Alberta Municipal affairs. And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns. They are not sub-stubs, most have at least a map and geographic context, many have infoboxes, some have demographics section, some have climate data (weather network keeps updated weather conditions for these communities, why shouldn't wikipedia maintain an article?). --Qyd (talk) 02:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Knowledge (XXG) as being insufficiently notable. The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place. If there's a viable redirect target, then consider redirecting; but otherwise, keep per Qyd. Bearcat (talk) 03:19, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm sorry that the nominator did all the work of creating 110 separate discussions about places in the Canadian province of Alberta, but nobody wants to write, or even to cut and paste, 110 separate responses. I see that two people did-- but I bet that they didn't really want to. Mandsford (talk) 16:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
No kidding! Went through all the motions nonetheless, as I wouldn't want to see articles nuked due to some technicality. --Qyd (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep It should be, that every defined settlement is notable. A very simple rule, and avoids discussing the hundreds of thousands of small settlements in the world individually. We can tolerate the articles better than we could tolerate the afds. We could make a policy to group them even so, but we have not done so. I am not sure of the merits--there is no clear way to settle arguments about the best arrangement of things. And in any case, this particular settlement hasenough information that even if it were an undefined neighborhood, we'd probably keep it. DGG ( talk ) 04:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

This short article was added with the assumption that it is a hamlet in Alberta. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was. I propose that this article be deleted as it is short, and not notable. 117Avenue (talk) 23:12, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep all, every settlement is notable, even if not recognized as hamlet by Alberta Municipal affairs. And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns, some touristic attractions, some religion based settlements that refuse government authority. --Qyd (talk) 03:08, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
I added two external links as a start. Bearian (talk) 05:25, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I removed one of them (4H doesn't seem appropriate under EL guidelines) Shadowjams (talk) 05:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Note - I think the argument is that this might not be an actual location, or a "recognized" settlement. I agree with the inherent notability of places, but that also doesn't mean I can declare an area an arbitrary name and call it a settlement say it's inherently notable, and end the debate. I would like to see some official government reference to the location. (Also, the article needs either more content, or the rather irrelevant external links, which take on obscene amounts of undue weight in a stub, need to be removed).

This short article was added with the assumption that it is a hamlet in Alberta. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was.

  • Keep all, every settlement is notable, even if not recognized as hamlet by Alberta Municipal affairs. And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns, some touristic attractions, some religion based settlements that refuse government authority. --Qyd (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Knowledge (XXG) as being insufficiently notable. The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place.

This short article was added with the assumption that it is a hamlet in Alberta. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was. I propose that this article be deleted as it is short, and not notable. 117Avenue (talk) 23:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep all, every settlement is notable, even if not recognized as hamlet by Alberta Municipal affairs. And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns, some touristic attractions, some religion based settlements that refuse government authority. --Qyd (talk) 03:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Knowledge (XXG) as being insufficiently notable. The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place.

The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place.

After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was. I propose that this article be deleted as it is short, and not notable. 117Avenue (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep all, every settlement is notable, even if not recognized as hamlet by Alberta Municipal affairs. And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns, some touristic attractions, some religion based settlements that refuse government authority. --Qyd (talk) 03:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Knowledge (XXG) as being insufficiently notable. The only grounds for deleting a named settlement would be if there weren't any evidence that it even existed in the first place. If there's a viable redirect target, then consider redirecting; but otherwise, keep per Qyd. Bearcat (talk) 03:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Like Chard, delete/redirect as Lone Pine is an alternate name for Goose Lake. I intend to edit the Goose Lake article to reflect such. This is the second Alberta community article recently nominated for deletion that should in fact be deleted in favour of redirection due to being an alternate name for an existing hamlet. --Hwy43 (talk) 07:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that this community is not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it ever was.

And please don't mass nominate before investigating more in-depth, some communities are first nations/metis and not under provincial jurisdiction, some are historic/ghost towns, some touristic attractions. This one is of historic importance, as the place where peace between the Cree and Beaver First Nations (Danezaa) was reached, thus shaping the distribution of First Nations in northern Alberta by the time of colonisation.

  • While a small settlement may, if not easily referenceable, be redirected to another topic, such as a larger municipality that it's part of, no size of settlement is ever deleted from Knowledge (XXG) as being insufficiently notable.

Previously deleted article that was recreated with substantially the same info. Speedy was declined because an admin restored it. A few additions, mostly from a single source (sherdog.com). Article claims 6 references. 2 are the orgs own website, 1 is a MMA sites blog and 3 are sherdog.com. 1 of the 3 doesn't even mention the org at all. One only says they sanctioned an event. An editor claiming to represent the org first vandalized the last AfD with a lengthy rant. Then he posted to the closing admins talk page where he attacked anyone who !voted delete. I provided him links to some applicable WP policies and guidlines. His response was to attack me and tell me he doesn't have time to read the policies. Fails WP:ORG. There is a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The article that they are able to sanction fight in one state is the most substantial one, and it it only partially about them. One is an insignificant mention and the 3rd doesn't mention them at all. I suggested to the editor that had the article restored that he find his sources first, but he hasn't responded.

  • Ocee, you're missing the point. They could sanction all the events they want, that doesn't make the organization notable. What is lacking is coverage of the organization. For example, there is plenty of coverage about the World Boxing Council. Their notability isn't based on what they sanction, it's based on their coverage. The primary criteria under WP:ORG is "has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources." The criteria goes on to state: "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability." Being listed as the sanctioning entity on sherdog is NOT significant coverage.

The United States Declaration of Independence, for example, was issued by the Second Continental Congress. In the case of Albania, its declaration was enacted by the Assembly of Vlora, which was a national assembly. Arguably, then, each signatory of a national declaration of independence is automatically notable as a member of a national parliament or the equivalent. Also worth noting is the fact that all or almost all the people who signed the United States Declaration of Independence are also notable for reasons other than having signed the declaration and participated in the Second Continental Congress, whether as political or military leaders or for other reasons. This is a strong hint that the same is true for signatories of other national declarations of independence.

All the muslim names were given the title of "Bey" which signified that they had important military achievement for the Ottoman empire under their belt; in addition they were important land-owners, which makes them the equivalent of a nobleman in the western world. For this reason they were virtually unknown or wantedly so during the communist regime in Albania as the government didn't want to put big landowner names in the History of Albania (they were basically deprived of all their wealth), hence little has been written about them during the communist regime.

Contested WP:PROD. Non-notable temporary bridge. MickMacNee (talk) 20:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep - It's not clear why the nom feels this topic is non-notable, except that it is a "temporary bridge." Temporary bridges can be notable (in this case, the "temporary" bridge has been functional for decades). Now (magazine) labels this Toronto's "Best bridge." --Oakshade (talk) 20:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
    I can't say non-notable temporary bridge any clearer than by saying 'non-notable temporary bridge' I'm afraid. I assume you don't want me to copy paste the notability guideline here right? I'll leave it to others to decide whether being voted Toronto's best bridge by Now magazine is a notable achievement, seeing as we don't really have a guide for how famous a temporary bridge has to be before we have an article on it. MickMacNee (talk) 22:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • When a nom only types non-notable, it only seems the nom just wants an article deleted for unknown and possible arbitrary reasons. To me, this reads "I don't think there should be articles about any temporary bridges." Again, a bridge being "temporary" in of itself is not a valid reason to delete an article about a bridge. I see you have also nominated Barker Crossing for deletion for generally the same reason and that AfD is showing a preference for "keep." In this bridge's case, there is no indication by any source that there are even plans for a replacement. Calling a bridge "temporary," besides not being grounds for article deletion, isn't in this case in any practical sense accurate.--Oakshade (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Given that Kubb has apparently done nothing since 2006 it seems reasonable to conclude they may have been notable, but they are not. There is no evidence that Moke or The Daddy have any notability (fail WP:BAND). Johnuniq (talk) 23:04, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
    Kubb had two Top 40 singles in Britain. They even hit the European Hot 100 with the album and single (). There is no way this band can rationally be considered non-notable. As for Moke, I've added several reviews and a couple of news articles to substantiate them on more than one point of WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 00:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep Kubb and Moke, Merge & Redirect The Daddy to Kubb (band). Kubb's UK chart history can be seen here. There's no way on earth that a band with those hits can be considered non-notable. Former member Ben Langmaid is now half of La Roux (Irish Times (Dublin); Jul 24, 2009; p. 9, The Sunday Times (London); Jul 5, 2009; Dan Cairns; p. 24). I have access to the News UK archive which includes a lot more than Google News, and in contrast to the nominator's claim that no coverage exists, there's loads of coverage of Kubb, including a short article on Harry Collier in The Guardian (May 08, 2007), an article on the band in the Evening Times (Jun 29, 2006; p. 13), a single review in the Daily Record, a substantial article on the band in the Irish Times (May 5, 2006; Kevin Courtney; p. 11), and there were loads more after these. Kubb played at the V Festival, The Isle of Wight Festival, etc., etc. Moke are also clearly notable via coverage, including Allmusic (bio and reviews), Billboard (18 Aug 2001), and via their US hit single (if verified). As for The Daddy, this can be merged to Kubb and redirected for now.--Michig (talk) 08:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment. I've done some work on the Kubb (band) article. It is hopefully very obvious now that the band are sufficiently notable for an article, and that a later band containing the band's singer should also be mentioned.--Michig (talk) 08:40, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Note re. supposed COI: Moke (band) has only had 2 minor edits recently from Wangobango. This article was the subject of COI editing, but by someone else possibly associated with a completely different band named Moke, with the article being hijacked and subsequently reverted. The recent edits to Kubb (band) by Wangobango were also minor. The Daddy is the only one of the three where there can be a serious concern over COI from an editor associated with the bands under discussion.--Michig (talk) 13:36, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Delete, not notable. The article claims that he is most known for his technical work on the Superman DVD releases, which in and of itself does not appear to satisfy relevant notability guidelines. Outside of those DVDs, imdb says he edited or directed a handful of TV episodes. The WP article only cites to an interview with him that appears to be posted on a fan website; I could find no reliable sources online that discuss him at length. Online articles about the Superman DVDs and the new cuts of the films that I could find do not cover him by more than a trivial mention. postdlf (talk) 18:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete - He is certainly mentioned with respect to the Superman DVD. But the coverage represents passing mentions with the topic really being the DVD. The most substantial coverage is in the New York Times with some substance in the coverage starting on the second page of the article. However, this is not enough to convince me of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

This seems to be a recreation of a page, Modified Bragg diffraction in quasicrystals that was previously removed and redirected to Quasicrystal. The only references are to a self-published book and a single article both by the article's creator, so the article has problems with WP:COS and WP:N.

That's what I thought too, and I started with a speedy G4. It was declined because the recreated article isn't identical to the deleted one. I don't quite understand that. For one thing, there is no way to see the deleted article, so it's impossible to tell if it's identical. For another, it seems cumbersome to keep going to AfD over and over on the same article.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'm (procedurally) starting another AfD for this article, since the outcome of the previous AfD was "endorsed pending the final decision in the related ArbCom case". It is alleged that the previous AfDs were subject to votestacking.

For the relevant history, one could review the arbcom case, the previous AfD, WP:COIN thread and the Deletion review.

The previous nomination is quoted below:

The subject of this article fails both WP:ARTIST and WP:AUTHOR, and appears to be have been created as a vanity article. The article subject has not been the recipient of significant press coverage and bok which the subject has published appear to be more like self-published booklets. Searches for Aspidistra Press show Tylman to the only person published by this publisher, indicating self published works. Richard_Tylman#Poetry confirms this as it says they are self published. There are no critical reviews or commentary of his works, so notability as an author/poet is not existent. His visual arts notability is also non-existent. There is zero notability in anything he has done in Poland before emigrating to Canada. His working as an airbrush illustrator is not notable - this occupation is a dime a dozen, and it would appear that the long list of works are referenced to the actual advertisement, not critical commentary on his works. The other problem is the sourcing to Tylman's own website. Yes, the article does have a lot of sources, but none of them establish notability for the subject. Russavia 02:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

  • How does being a team of individuals who won an industry award make him notable? He was considered an up and coming artist by the Polish newspaper, so if he were notable then surely there are more sources to show notability? Seems like a backwards WP:CRYSTAL vio to me. And how is that anthology a (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums, or had works in many significant libraries.? Looking at the notability guidelines for artists, there does not appear to be anything to distinguish him from a routine advertising illustrator/NN poet. A string of trivial coverage does is not sufficient. Triplestop x3 22:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  1. Backwards CRYSTAL? The Głos interview took place in 2003, when Tylman was hardly an "up and coming artist". And you'd know that if you spent a little time and read the article under discussion here instead of attacking it because you don't like its subject.
  2. Please read WP:BIO more carefully. There is no need for a creative artist to satisfy WP:ARTIST if she or he satisfies WP:ANYBIO. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 22:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
His group, not him received the award. His group may be notable but he is not. I assure you I have no opinion of the subject as a person and am only interested in seeing a fair result from this AfD debate. The link in reference leads to the subject's own website which fails WP:V. Triplestop x3 23:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Let's take a look at the statements sourced to the page.
In his early teens, Tylman became the youngest member of the Plastic Arts’ Club for adults at the DK HiL Community Centre in Nowa Huta, and exhibited his first oil paintings in gallery group show. Following high school he enrolled at the Kraków University of Technology Faculty of Architecture, encouraged by his father.

  • Delete - quite simply, if there is no significant coverage in independent sources we cannot write an article. The bulk of the article seems to be sourced to the subject of the article. The only source that is actually about the subject of the article is in Glos, hardly significant coverage, hardly enough to start an article. The obscurity of Glos makes it even difficult to assess whether this article satisfies WP:SPIP. Evidently this individual is like millions of professionals who have received some minor prices, and might have been mentioned in obscure publications such as Glos - but that does not mean they are notable, because notability requires significant coverage. And significant coverage is necessary to write an article, because otherwise we have articles like these that are overwhelmingly sourced to the individual and not to independent sources. Демоны Врубеля/Vrubel's Demons (talk) 11:42, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Most of the cited sources are obviously not written by the subject (please look in the article). As about Glos, we have Głos – Tygodnik Nowohucki. He looks like someone notabe in Poland, just as many Russian authors are only well known in Russia. But that does not preclude creating articles about them. Biophys (talk) 14:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
I looked at the article, most of the references point to the webpage of the article subject. Even the Glos article was apparently written by the subject of the article, so I am not sure how notable this publication really is. A copy seems to be at the Polish national library, but neither the Krakov nor the Warsaw university library seem to hold copies what qualifies this publication as obscure, even in Poland. Again, notability requires significant coverage, and significant coverage is just not here. Демоны Врубеля/Vrubel's Demons (talk) 15:45, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete, although there are other examples of articles on Knowledge (XXG) also lacking "notability", that is not a sufficient excuse to keep this one. Having read and re-read both this article and external links related to it, I see no basis for its inclusion in the encyclopedia. The additional fact that the subject of the article actually would have the egotistical arrogance to create an article about himself sets a very bad precedent. Dr. Dan (talk) 21:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
There is nothing wrong with creating an article about yourself, it is not as you claim a sign of egotistical arrogance at all and it is much more common than you think. Off2riorob (talk) 21:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Whether it is a more common practice than I think or not, is unimportant. I find doing so to be distasteful and a bad precedent. My main concern with the article however, is lack of notability. Dr. Dan (talk) 22:08, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. Who originally created an article is completely irrelevant to the notability of the subject, and any !vote based on that argument should be deprecated. I further become suspicious when a nominator or single editor argues tendentiously against every keep vote, but that, too, is irrelevant as to keep/delete. Where there is reasonable doubt, as there is in this case, the default is properly Keep, because having a non-notable article, provided the information in it is adequately supported by reliable source (which information can be very brief, the article can be a stub), does no harm, whereas deleting it makes article growth much more difficult and wastes or even insults the work of all those who contributed. --Abd (talk) 23:49, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • The doubt is in the minds of all those who have !voted Keep, isn't that obvious? I'm wary of those who claim that there is no doubt about a thing being absent when it obviously is present. It is not normal discussion for one participant in an AfD, which is a community process, to respond to most comments on one side with argument. If there is more evidence to be presented, by all means, present it, but there is never evidence for non-notability, so I'd recommend shutting up and let editors present what evidence they have, and discuss only actual evidentiary issues, and let the community and the closer decide what's cogent and what's not. --Abd (talk) 02:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • For reference, I haven't checked to see if there is a pattern, but it's possible an attempt was made to harass me or others over my !vote. I certainly hope this kind of thing does not continue. --Abd (talk) 02:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC) The editor apologized, so I struck this comment --Abd (talk) 03:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
As far as I can see Triplestop commented on a single 'keep' vote here. Where exactly is your problem concern? What I find way more troublesome is if an editor who happens to be the subject of the article not only comments on 'delete' votes but attacks voters or (wrongly) accuses them to be meatpuppets. Isn't that a hint that the concerns about WP:COI are not completely unfounded? SPLETTE :] 05:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • The concern about COI is legitimate, but irrelevant. Poeticbent is obviously COI and appears to be behaving within bounds in this AfD, the alleged offense is a dead horse from a the previous AfD. It would be ridiculous to suppose that the subject of an article can't comment in an AfD on it, COI editors are allowed to make suggestions and comments. Poeticbent could be so outrageous in his behavior that he'd be immediately blocked, and it would be completely irrelevant to the basic question, which is notability and only notability.
  • My sense is that the article should be stubbed to remove whatever cannot be established from independent reliable source, except for certain personal details that we normally allow to come from a subject himself (i.e., from self-published material). That excess material exists in an article is never an argument for delete, it's an argument for fixing the article.
  • It appears that some comments in this AfD may now be coming as a result of Offliner's comment on my Talk page, and I strongly urge the closer to consider arguments and review and check evidence, instead of numbers of !votes, which should be irrelevant. Had that been done with AfD 2, we'd not be further wasting our time here. If canvassing has taken place, all that it can do of harm is to multiply !votes, it can't create cogent arguments unless it does, in fact, attract more knowledgeable editors, which would be a good thing, so please, folks, let's focus on the issue: notability and evidence and arguments relevant to that, not to editor behavior. AfD closers are not required to assess some sort of majority opinion, and I've seen AfD's closed with Delete, and successfully -- it stuck -- where half of the !votes were opposite to the conclusion. And the half included many experienced editors. It stuck in spite of apparent "no consensus" because the closer hewed to the arguments instead of numbers. If the closer was in error, it would have gone to DRV, which is often more efficient than reams of debate in an AfD. --Abd (talk) 15:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete Subject of BLP seems unnotable. Mathsci (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete, sourcing purported to support notability remains unconvincing, especially the points about his work as an illustrator. No clear signs of non-trivial, public critical attention on his personal work. Fut.Perf. 06:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's not easy (or IMO actually possible) to check and correct for subtle bias in the autobiography because there are insufficient non-trivial independent sources primarily about the subject. What sources there are, are either relatively trivial, or lack independence, or both. Guy (Help!) 15:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. having carefully examined the evidence presented on this page and weighted all the arguments I am of the opinion that the subject of the article is notable enough to have an article.  Dr. Loosmark  15:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete, while extending full respect towards Poeticbent for accomplishments of which he should be justly proud. However, I can see no significant discussion of his self-published works or his particular contribution to the paid advertisements, and no real sourcing in this article outside of material published by organizations in which he has been somewhat involved; it is to the advantage of competitions to publish information about the competitors and their information is self-published by those organization. Unless there are sources in journals, magazines, books, newspapers, etc to discuss Tylman and his impact in some way, I do not feel that this article is justified under our inclusion guidelines. Karanacs (talk) 20:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes. Not only that, but the source for the biographical data used by these competitions will always be the subject himself. I can't see any of the sources cited for which this is not true. None of them appears to be independent of the subject. Guy (Help!) 11:02, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. (weakish, however): Though only barely notable enough for a Knowledge (XXG) article in my opinion, it is (at least) representative of what a decent Knowledge (XXG) article should look like - it is well-written, well-sourced, well-laid out.. not to mention generating a wealth of discussion on the talk page.. its many good qualities are enough to tip the scale in favor of keep, for the betterment of the encyclopedia as a whole. As per Kotniski's statement above, no good will come out of deleting this. -- œ 09:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete Neither notable enough nor convincingly sourced. Varsovian (talk) 10:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. The sources do not appear to constitute significant coverage. There is an element of trying too hard, which to my mind indicates the sparsity of coverage, and hence lack of notability. Quantpole (talk) 11:45, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Notability sufficiently established, and !votes based on personal opinions about any editor should be deprecated in analysing the reasons given for or against deletion. Author is referred to in more than a dozen WP articles (not making him "notable" but assuredly pointing out that editors of those articles found him notable). In Polish WP so we should also accept that if a person is notable for their native-language WP, it is the onus for showing non-notability to remove articles in the English WP. This is, to me, the deciding issue. Collect (talk) 13:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
You do realize that the article in the Polish WP was also created by the subject himself (using his static IP 207.102.64.135)? SPLETTE :] 14:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not convinced that Polish WP should be "deciding," that's weak. As to the creation of that article, it was IP created in 2005, I don't know how Splettte knows that this was Tylman, but maybe it was, it would make sense, but so what? The IP hasn't edited the article, which is practically a stub, since 2006, and this is the kind of article that used to be common on WP. Articles that I wanted to read if I wanted to look up the topic, but that don't prove anything about notability and are unsourced. I used to like those articles here, as a reader. And I knew that this was a wiki and that whatever was said without sources was unreliable. Hence my view is that if there is doubt about notability, keep, and fix sourcing problems either by adding sources or removing unsourced text, leaving, if necessary, a stub of undeniably verifiable information, even if the sources aren't strong as to notability. A stub is much better than delete in terms of value to the readership, and there will be material in history that can be read by future editors. Delete makes access become limited only to administrators, and if news appears, a new article may be created instead. But this is a completely general argument. The issue here is whether or not the article meets at least minimum notability standards, and, as I've said, it's marginal. Because it's marginal, in my opinion, my conclusion is Keep, for the reasons stated. --Abd (talk) 16:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I hear you. But the problem is that there is no verifiable information here, as the only ostensibly third-party source, the article in Glos, is actually not useful for verifying facts as it is an interview. The other problem is that there is not really any hope that new sources will surface that can be used to improve the article. The reason is that the subject of the article wrote the article and made sure that even the most marginal source is included. Pantherskin (talk) 19:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment. As the actual subject of this article, I'd like to make a comment, to the benefit of those, who are unfamiliar with the latest EEML case... and its direct connection to this proposal. – You might be asking yourself: why, so few editors from Portal–Poland expressed their opinions here considering, that (as described by Sandstein) "the subject, Richard Tylman, is not only a Polish national, but almost all of the article concerns his work in or about Poland." – Some of the most active senior editors involved in writing articles about Poland are banned for a year, since last Christmas: including Piotrus, Tymek, Jacurek, and Radeksz, professionals with graduate degrees, genuinely interested in building Knowledge (XXG). User Tymek, who created the article about Nowa Huta anthology, and who voted Keep! in this discussion recently, has just been blocked for 48 hours for doing so, presumably by violating his EE topic ban. Please remember, – I’m a Canadian citizen who does not live in Poland; so, at least Tymek’s mistake could have been genuine. Another Keep! vote was struck out for reasons unrelated to EEML: cast by Paweł5586 banned recently from EE–related topics. Meanwhile, most of the activity in this AfD comes from users heavily involved in the last ArbCom case; noted for their aggressive language and indiscriminate lobbying. User:Triplestop was banned from all Arbcom pages related to the EEML case for one week, as a result of a number of unacceptable and inflammatory statements. User:Dr. Dan was issued first/final warning. A number of users came back from EEML Talk: Anti-Nationalist, Fut.Perf. ☼, Skäpperöd, Renata, Offliner, Pantherskin, who's been Knowledge (XXG): hounding me for weeks last November, (and from another ArbCom case, like M0RD00R); not to mention, user M.K. who ironically, also cried bloody murder about the alleged "votestacking" by the EEML. They all returned, looking to take advantage of the most recent wipeout; and also, to make a concerted attempt at gaming the system in order to deal a blow to the one person, Poeticbent, who wasn’t sanctioned in the proceedings. Therefore, I’d like to request, that this nomination be relisted, after the standard 7–day period, in order to generate more discussion, hopefully NOT driven only by a misdirected spirit of revenge. -- Poeticbent talk 07:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
So you are confirming that the notability of Richard Tylman can not be established without the support of several Polish users who are currently banned because they, like you, have participated in the EEML? Besides, that M0RD00R link to AE dates from January 9, 2009, not 2010, and is hardly taking "advantage of the most recent wipeout". -- Matthead  Discuß   09:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Poeticbent, would you please substantiate
  1. how the arbitration committee performed a "most recent wipeout"?
  2. how I (Skäpperöd) "take advantage of the most recent wipeout" here?
If in retroperspective you perceive your comment about the arbitration committee and me as over the top, redact it. If you feel unable to substantiate it, redact it. Thank you. Skäpperöd (talk) 14:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
What argument can the banned users make that has not already been refuted here? Remember that this is not a vote. Oh, and I could make the very same accusations against the users voting keep, however I am not going to because that would be commenting on users, not content. Triplestop x3 19:37, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. As demonstrated by many editors in three AfDs, the subject of the article is not a notable person, artist, painter or poet. The article exists only as it was created (along with supporting articles like Głos – Tygodnik Nowohucki and the Polish WP article) as vanity autobiography by Poeticbent/Tylman himself, and it survived only due to massive support by the group of friends mentioned above. Frankly, Poeticbent himself should request deletion to rectify his violation of Knowledge (XXG) policy (like "Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged"). If Tylman is really notable, an unrelated connoisseur of visual arts or poetry will create an article. -- Matthead  Discuß   09:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - what is clear by now is the lack of independent sources that assert the notability of this invididual. Although the article has several inline citation, they ultimately lead back to the subject of the article and not to third-party publications. See for example the claim that the subject of the article won the Graphex competition. There is an inline citation, but this leads to the autobiography on the personal webpage of Tylman. The only third-party publication is an alleged interview with the author in an obscure publication which although published in Krakow cannot even be found in the library of Krakow University (as has been pointed out already). Even assuming that this source actually exists it is not enough to assert notability. And it is not enough to write an article, as even this one source is only an interview and thus the claims made by the individual in the interview have not been fact-checked and are not independent of the subject of the article. Pantherskin (talk) 18:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Weak keep The subject seems to be marginally notable and he wants the article to be kept. There is no BLP and it is not written more or less from the neutral point of view (at least it is not a blatant advertisement). In this conditions I see no harm in keeping the article. On the other hand, I am surprised by the number of people voting according to the lines of the recent arbcom conflict there the subject was an active participant and I would rather counter the possible bias Alex Bakharev (talk) 00:21, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Alex, I do not see anything surprising. People do not change. Actually, I am surprised by something opposite. That's an active involvement and strong bias of people who like Triplestop (this AfD nominator) never had contacts with members of EEML prior to beginning of the case, started editing only in this June and immediately (June 5) asked about something like abuse filter. Triplestop, just out of curiousity, under which account did you edit previously, because you obviously was not a newbie? I do not imply that you necessarily did something illegal, because changing the accounts is allowed under certain circumstances. Same about User:Pantherskin. Biophys (talk) 23:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I have replied to Biophys on his talk page. Again, I am only trying to generate productive discussion on the subject's notability which is the whole point of this AfD. Triplestop x3 23:52, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Given Poeticbents history of sockpuppetry I would be more concerned about possible sockpuppets by Poeticbent. Pantherskin (talk) 08:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete as no significant coverage in third party RS about subject's life and work; therefore lacking crucial requirement per WP:NOTE. M.K. (talk) 13:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Addendum. Please be advised that I’d like to file a Requests for Comment on User Conduct against Triplestop for continuous violations of policies and guidelines during these proceedings, particularly those pertaining to civility and discussion with fellow contributors. If anyone else has the same issues with the editor in question, and if you feel uneasy about his badgering and his attitude in general, I’d like to hear from you, so we may jointly work on a draft, and collect data or notes we're likely to need. An RfC may bring close scrutiny on all involved editors. Please remember, candidate pages need a second user to certify the dispute within 48 hours or they will be delisted. Issues to be discussed include driving away productive contributors, treating editing as a personal battle (including process pages such as this), misusing other users’ talk pages to chronicle his fight, and disparaging contributors who oppose him.

    WP:RFC/U is an informal non-binding process enabling users to discuss problems with specific editors. Please, don't react emotionally or in haste, and don't attack or find fault with the messenger. Triplestop has already been engaged in aggressive lobbying during the EEML case; and banned from all Arbcom pages related to the EEML case for one week, as a result of his unacceptable and inflammatory statements. Now that things have escalated, I'm appealing to Triplestop to please withdraw your nomination, because of its direct conflict with WP:GAME behavioral guideline. Several disputants who participated here, also formed a unified political lobby during the last ArbCom case attempting to influence its outcome, and therefore have COIs. I suggest that their votes be treated as one in the spirit of the Remedies already implemented by the Arbitration Committee against others. The EEML lobbyists who tendentiously voted "delete" in this AfD include:

     • Pantherskin (talk · contribs)
     • Anti-Nationalist (talk · contribs)

    Meanwhile, their joint participation in these proceedings have already reached comical proportions in private. They just began giving each other barnstars for nominating this article for AfD: with the name Richard Tylman prominently featured in their reasoning.

Note: I welcome any third party feedback on any possible problems with my conduct. In the meanwhile, I ask that we please focus back on the notability of this article as was the original intention. Triplestop x3 02:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
I note that instead of offering new sources or discussing the merits of the existing sources Poeticbent resorts to threats and attacks on those who disagree with him. I also note that so far no one was able to present more than the alleged interview in Glos as independent coverage of the subject of the article. Pantherskin (talk) 08:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Would this request for comment address your ability to keep to WP:AGF and to not make personal comments about editors who have contributed here? You seem to focus exclusively on what you consider to be the feelings people have about you and give no attention at all to the topic of whether this article should be deleted.
If even you, as the creator and subject of the article, are either unwilling or unable (or both) to explain why this article should not be deleted (particularly RS and WP:NOTE), surely the article must be deleted?Varsovian (talk) 16:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
If anybody feels a need to continue this discussion, may I suggest that you take it to the Talk page? — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 17:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Again, I will not be making the same attacks against those voting keep because what would not be addressing the notability of the article. Please stop blatantly misrepresenting the situation. Your accusations are not only blatantly false but also do not address the notability of this article. Triplestop x3 21:44, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. Too little specific and detailed coverage of him for passing WP:ANYBIO and not enough to show notability under WP:CREATIVE. The only individual award mentioned in the article is Grand Owl which seems to be a student level award. No significant published reviews of his work are mentioned in the article. I looked up the library holdings for some of his books in Worldcat and they appear to be rather minimal. Overall, delete. Nsk92 (talk) 18:06, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've been watching this page for a while - I am only here because I happened to disambiguation "epic" on the page a while back. I don't see anything that meets the various notability guidelines. (John User:Jwy talk) 19:08, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment regarding third-party sources (i.e. the alleged interview in Glos). As this is an obscure publication and not available in virtually all libraries there is no practical way to actually verify the existence of this interview and to check whether it supports the claims made in the article. In this context it is worth nothing that in the past two uninvolved editors independently voiced their suspicion about whether the sources support the claims made in the article. See and ; and see and . Note that both editors had apparently no prior contact to Poeticbent and were not editing in the Eastern European topic area. Pantherskin (talk) 21:30, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete, a reading of the article reveals no particular claim of notability except being a member of a team that was given a Canadian Graphex award (there are many Graphex awards). This is insufficient basis for an article. Abductive (reasoning) 08:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Fails WP:NSONGS, community consensus seems to be to not have an article on topics like this yet: song has neither charted nor received the significant coverage required. Not even the single release is confirmed yet, the few sources that explicitly call it one are, in my opinion, not to be considered reliable, and have been wrong before. A redirect to Rude boy (disambiguation) is an alternative for deletion. Amalthea 11:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

That's not just wishful thinking, is it? "I am like 95% sure it is official I see it almost everywhere. When there is a very common rumor, unconfirmed, it tends to be the truth. Not alweays. But alot." Helluva way to write an encyclopedia. Yappy2bhere (talk) 04:00, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Radio 1 have playlisted it. Radio 1 is the biggest Radio in the UK and doesn't playlist songs that aren't singles, obviously. Jayy008 (talk) 13:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
"Obviously"? Not to me, lots of songs receive some airplay without being singles, and many songs are playlisted while they are only promo singles (To my limited knowledge, at least). And FWIW, http://radio1.gr had "Wait Your Turn" listed for a while as well (not sure whether it was UK singles or US singles, I'd have to look it up) ... until they removed it again, and it never was released as a single. I don't imagine the BBC Radio 1 uses much more credible information for those kinds of lists. Amalthea 13:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I've seen that Radio1Gr whatever it is, it's nothing to do with BBC Radio 1. BBC Radio 1 hardly playlists anything good let alone playlisting things that aren't singles. Once Radio 1 playlists something it's a new single. If you lived in the UK you'd know that. Since I do I'm telling you about it, it's definately the next single over here.

Tell me, how is this song notable per WP:NSONG? It hasn't charted or won an award, it hasn't been covered by other prominent artists, and if the mocking Guardian review is any indication the article is unlikely ever to be more than a stub. How is Knowledge (XXG) better for having this article instead of redirecting readers to the album article? Yappy2bhere (talk) 20:35, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
I find that offensive, I'm not trying to be "a recognized sourced by Knowledge (XXG)" my point is that if you lived in the UK. You would be informed about Radio 1. This is the next UK single. Unless you're saying if it's just being released in the UK, it's not good enough to have it's own article? Jayy008 (talk) 00:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

First of all, Wikiedia is not a dictionary, the current contents is unsourced and the only source, I can find, is Urban Dictionary, which has a different definition. Secondly, there's something fishy going on. The original version of the article was a thinly disguised advertisement for an apparently non-notable author (articles about him have previously been deleted per A7 and G11), created by an SPA. I removed the spam and PROD'ed the article. The PROD was contested without explanation by another SPA. Meanwhile, a third SPA has created a couple of suspicious redirect for the same author, which are now being discussed at this RfD. Favonian (talk) 11:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The game has been out for over a week, I have added a reference (really, what references do you need for such little information?). Sure, I creted the article. So? I will shortly have people editing the page as we have been discussing having a wikipedia page for some time. Also, what's wrong with asking people to add onto the article? :CyberPrime

The article states that it was released on new years day, 2010. So 7-9 days depending on where you live. And as for references, see WP:RS. Things like newspaper articles, a review on CNET, things like that are a good start at showing notability.--Terrillja talk 06:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Knowledge (XXG) articles have time to develop once they meet the minimum threshold of notability. Once the game has been in publications, we can recreate it, but it does not meet the guidelines at this time.--Terrillja talk 16:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Nobody's tring to "be a dick" here, we're just following the criteria for new Knowledge (XXG) articles. As has been mentioned many times by many editors, a Knowledge (XXG) article does not wait for notability. I checked out your reference you added but it doesn't seem to mention the game at all, it talks briefly about a mod for a game called Blockland and as far as I can tell, this is an article for a game. -- Ephialtes42 (talk) 10:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
But you are being dicks. The article was JUST CREATED and you're already fighting to delete it. Just because it wasn't a headliner on Larry King Live or anything doesn't mean it isn't worthy of it's pissant little piece of cyberspace. Sources were cited, from various sides, and another third-party site(yes, it mentions only TBM, which this game is based on, which is mentioned in this article), so fuck off and leave us alone.

  • Comment. Well said. I think you just made your case... Doc9871 (talk) 12:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete without prejudice, the article itself and the results of a web search do not demonstrate notability through multiple, in-depth, reliable sources. In plain English all WP articles should be on subjects which are themselves covered by appropriate sources, we can't generate original research here, we have to use what others have written to form the basis of articles. Although the gaming press is a lot more open minded these days we are still at the mercy of what these second parties choose to cover. While it's unpleasant to have something you've worked on or intended to work on nominated for deletion, not doing so would just waste more time in the long-run because all of the additional edits would be lost should it be nominated at a later point. Since building games of this type are spreading in number and recognition the sourcing situation may change in the future, but until that point there is no basis for an article, sorry.

  • Speedy Delete -- No notablity found, no reliable sources and the overall immaturity of some posters makes this an easy speedy. --Teancum (talk) 17:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Dude - how does editor behaviour figure into the current and potential merits of the article? If poor behaviour spoke against a position, we could never get any policies made. Besides, it seems that some people here are frustrated because we're destroying their earnest volunteer work, which is unavoidable even when we must do so. Some people here also think that they haven't been given a fair shot, which is understandable: I don't think they've received more explanation than tags and acronyms. You know how callous and high-handed our thicket-o'-rules and their application can be/seem (take your pick). It's a pity that some people here are flaming, but it really can't be held against them.

Now. Leaving aside notability, which is a semi-arbitrary worthiness criterion and which I hate from my petty little heart, there is a more fundamental problem with verifiability, one of the cornerstones of the site (an end, where N is a means). Basically the word of an open wiki isn't worth much. Articles need to be able to address at least one question: "Says who?" This is not a small matter. Check out the scam attempts that followed the Boxing Day tsunami. Better yet, don't. Another thing is that without a third party to rely on, article content is entirely a matter of opinion, and likely to be decided by editors screaming and flinging poo at each other. There are articles where this wouldn't happen, there are ones where it would, but crucially, we have no way of drawing the line. So N or no N, I don't think that Freebuild can currently work in this system of building an encyclopedia. But if anyone wants a copy of the article after it's deleted, drop a note on my talk page or that of most other admins. Hope that helps. --Kizor 23:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry for getting pissed, and thank you for taking my lack of maturity surprisingly well. I just think, given that it is gathering sources(some of which could be argued are verifiable, and vice versa) it should be allowed to continue gathering sources. I see plenty of articles tagged with problems regarding sources, or point of view, or things as silly as an excess of red links. You don't see them up for deletion right away. They get time to improve and fix those problems before such a decision is made. 71.230.67.178 (talk) 09:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
In cases such as those, the issue is more with poor sourcing or formatting - both of which can be improved upon. However with this article, nobody has been able to find any WP:Verifiable sources for the subject of the article. This is the main reason for the AfD and until the game actually gets some third party coverage there won't be any way to source it better. Like User:Kizor said, the article can be copied to your talk page so that it can be moved back when better sourcing can be found. -- Ephialtes42 (talk) 10:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

just Archive the page untill the game is at least Alpha or Beta and gets in gamespot magazine or something, i've been waiting for this since I like most people do not have access to payment methods (or available funds due to hospital and utility bills) to purchase the "similar" game people think this game is stealing from *cough*Blockland*cough* 71.171.206.146 (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

  • If it's something you want to preserve, you can always userfy the article to you (or another editor) if you have an account.

Very extensive list with excellent referencing. That being said, I feel like this runs afoul of WP:INDISCRIMINATE, especially considering that little context is given and that none of the schools listed (as well as some of the towns) have their own article. Notable schools can be included within the article about the municipality the school was located in. 2 says you, says two 05:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete As per nom. None of the entries listed is linked indicating insubstantial notability for the topic. DerbyCountyinNZ 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I do not believe this article breaches WP:INDISCRIMINATE given the current state of wikipedia on Northland. Of local interest. Well referenced in addition. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Merge into List of schools in the Northland Region, with maybe an asterisk or something next to them to show they are closed. Just because a school does not have an article, it does not necessarily mean that it is not worthy of a mention; as Buckshot06 mentioned, a school is an important feature of the local community and is of local notability, and the other article appears to have every school currently there. Notability is not temporary. I think that the lack of articles does suggest a lack of substantial notability and information available, however, so I don't think it is enough for a standalone article, although I think it would be useful for them to be mentioned. It all depends what the purpose of such an article is perceived to be, but I think the information should stay. Jhbuk (talk) 19:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. Just because there are not yet articles on the small communities in which these schools were located does not mean there never will be. Indeed, Gadfium's project to cover all the open schools was the prime driver for the creation of many of the Northland town articles. He gave priority for doing the same for the rest of the country rather than progressing through the closed schools list. I was going to support a merge, although that would make List of schools in the Northland Region rather large, but considering some of the more populous regions of New Zealand, the combined lists would be way too large, and some consistency is needed. I do not agree for one minute that this is an indiscriminate list. dramatic (talk) 21:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep - well sourced and certainly not an indiscriminate list. Whether this should be merged into List of schools in the Northland Region is a separate editorial matter that should be considered subsequently. TerriersFan (talk) 21:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. TerriersFan (talk) 21:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep This sourced list is not indiscriminate since it has a well-defined inclusion criterion (closed schools in the Northland Region). I recommend moving the article to List of closed schools in the Northland Region, since "List of..." is the standard title for lists. Cunard (talk) 21:58, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep The article is relevant to the Northland Region. A potential failing is that this article got created prior to articles about the various townships, but those will no doubt come, and if the author's interest is in school rather than the localities that those schools were located in, that's fine. It might appear that things have been done in the wrong order. But in my opinion, this doesn't make the list indiscriminate. Schwede66 (talk) 00:24, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, and I cannot see how this falls foul of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I oppose a merge with List of schools in the Northland Region. This article was originally part of that article, but was split off because this can never be complete. Records from earlier times, particularly going back into the 19th century, are hard to come by and are almost certainly not going to cover every school. The list of open schools is complete. Merging the two would force the other article to lose its featured list status. I have no objection to a name change to "List of...".-gadfium 17:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
    • My interest in primarily in the small communities of Northland, rather than in their schools. However, those communities which have lost their schools are often little more than place names on the map, and thus low priority for articles to be written. It might be appropriate to remove the links for such localities. However, I'm not aware of any requirement for all the entries on a list to have articles. This would be my personal standard for a featured list, but as I said above, this list is unlikely to ever reach featured status due to unavailability of sources to make it complete.-gadfium 18:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a nicely presented article about an Islamic scholar—supposedly one of history's most distinguished. As it turns out, though, the article is pretty much the exclusive work of one editor and it's highly problematic in a number of ways. For one thing, I can find no real evidence of this man's notability at all, let alone his scholarship or the facts of his life. GBooks and GScholar turn up nothing, and setting aside Knowledge (XXG) copies I don't know that he has any GHits at all. The article cites several sources, but the footnoted ones just reference general political facts, not anything about Waez, and the only significant thing in the "Bibliography" is Robert Fisk's book, but if you have it (or check on Amazon book view) Waez is in about one paragraph on a single page. The bibliography is troubling as well because it cites a three day personal interview as as a source. So given Sarwar Waez's almost non-existent notability and the apparent OR that makes up the basis for virtually the entire text, this needs to go.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 05:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment Thinking it might be a faulty transliteration, I tried googling his Arabic name, and got one non-Knowledge (XXG) hit: Of course, I can't read it, but I expected more. The fourth item in the bibliography mentions a Sayed Waez, and the first item gives me a 404 error. I'm not sure what to think after ten minutes trying to track this article down, but early signs aren't encouraging. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 06:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

This monstrous article is a result, in part, of merging at least eleven other articles into it. All that content has led to an incredibly detailed, in-universe discussion supported by 110 references - all of which are episodes of the series, and don't at all support the topic's independent notability. I don't believe there is any justification for this independent article to exist; there just aren't any reliable sources to support it.

  • Weak delete - Well there is a precedent for this type of fan-based list of trivia, especially with Star Trek (for example, Shields (Star Trek)). But the difference with Star Trek is a universe of third-party literature. It a shame that a large number of fans put so much work into this Stargate article, but they'll have to come up with references other than the episodes themselves. If such sources exist, they must be added to this article and then in can stand with similar stuff in WP concerning Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. Otherwise, the people who have put this article together would be well-served to move it to a Stargate fan site which for now would be a better home for all of the work they've done.

  • Keep Stargate is a notable franchise, and this information (which meets V much better than most such lists) would be too much to merge into the main article. Jclemens (talk) 19:11, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
    • So, there's more of a problem sourcing this than I originally thought. While "stargate technology" gets plenty of hits, some of them are for a CIA project, some are regarding the myth predating the movie and subsequent series, some are for a digital technology company, and some are for are for a PC technology. Filtering all that through quickly, here are some choice results from Google Books:
    • Comparing to Star Trek technologies
    • Comparisons to multiple Sci Fi Franchises, and
    • a whole book on SG1
    • Beyond that, we have a number of other seemingly good Google Books hits: , , , . I could really use some help adding these refs to the article, so I've flagged it for rescue. Jclemens (talk) 19:37, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't believe that the nominator has properly engaged with the topic per our deletion process as there is no relevant discussion at the article's talk page and it takes just a moment to find a relevant source such as this - a comprehensive glossary of Stargate props, gadgets and macguffins which is much the same as our article. This is the sort of book which the nomination says does not exist and so the reason to delete is rebutted. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - Apparently I created this article, but right now it looks like your "comprehensive glossary" would be better left outside the purview of Knowledge (XXG). The sources might as well be completely deleted, because they only cite the episode, and there are barely any external references. I think that the "important" technology (e.g. with external references) could be moved to the series page, and the rest be put on a fan-site.--ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete but merge it into the stargate universe. I would support a strong userification argument here. Shadowjams (talk) 10:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Keep - Jclemens has convinced me; it's too big for a merge back in and I think it's a legit fork of a pretty large subject area. I wouldn't want to see a huge expanse of these articles for every show (Technology in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for example) but this one is ok. Shadowjams (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
      • Agreed. There wasn't really any appreciably different technology in Buffy or Angel. In Stargate, however, the expansion of technology available to earth, from SG-1 S1 to SGU S1, has been a large part of the evolution of the story. I actually went back and started watching Stargate (all of it) once I got into SGU last fall. Rather than one-off MacGuffins, things like hyperdrive are often introduced long before they're reliably available to Earth. I'm up to SG1/S8 SGA/S1 now, and I desperately want to fix this without spoiling the unwatched seasons (6.5ish)... Jclemens (talk) 23:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    • That would result in far too long and unweildy an article. Given the above listed sourcing, why not just keep it? Jclemens (talk) 19:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep, and if it must be deleted, ensure content is migrated to other articles first. It is a good compendium of information, in line with Star Trek, etc. See Jclemens's argument. I do agree the article needs a good clean-up, but it is an excellent compendium of information, albeit somewhat clumsy. Tigerhawkvok (talk) 22:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Also, as Colonel Warden points out, this nomination fails WP:BEFORE, and was not tagged (third bullet), talk page discussion (seventh bullet), and did not check sourcing concerns (ninth bullet, addressed earlier here). This nomination, beyond the keep-delete arguments, was ill-posed in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerhawkvok (talkcontribs) 22:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
      • Look, rather than attacking the nominator, why don't you just help out by improving the article with the sources I found so far? It's going to be a few days before I have ProQuest access again, but once I get that, I should be up to my eyeballs in references. Jclemens (talk) 22:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
        • Sorry, didn't mean to attack the nominator (though I do feel the nomination was not justified). I've taken only a very cursory look at what you've linked, but I don't want to work on changes if this article is destined for the digital trashbin. Tigerhawkvok (talk) 03:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep Third party literature exists for this. The technology is stargate is a key part of the programmes, hence the number of articles on the subject. Martin451 (talk) 23:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep as the preferred general solution for topics like this. The extent to which an main article will need this will vary--it's not an automatic subarticle. And there will still be instances where a particular piece of technically might merit an article, though I;d expect them to be rare. DGG ( talk ) 04:04, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep A notable aspect of the series, and a valid content fork. When there is too much valid information to fit comfortably in the main article, side articles should be created. Dream Focus 12:03, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Merge into Stargate. I noticed all of the "references" are links to episode articles here at Wiki. Without external third party sources I don't think this article can stand on its own. TomCat4680 (talk) 00:12, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a list of allegations masquerading and not a suitable biographical article.

This is a non-notable list based on a trivial connection which is not the primary claim to fame. The organization is notable, but notability is not inherited by the organization's leader as a result. Those individuals on the list who are not red-linked are only blue-linked because of a position of nobility that makes them notable otherwise. Considering that there are hundreds of Grand Lodges with hundreds of Grand Masters (each!) in their histories, this jurisdiction is not unique, nor does this list serve a unique purpose.

For us to have an article on something (even a list article) the topic must be notable (as defined by our policies). So... to keep this article, we would need to establish that the office of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland is itself notable.

Unnotable person. Fails WP:BIO and WP:N. Without significant coverage, can not properly meet WP:BLP. Prod removed by User:T. Anthony with note of "appears notable as a businessman" however said use added no sources to back up this claim nor modified the article at all. He has almost no actual news coverage, with most news reports for a person with this name being about a Reno cop killed in the line of duty. Like most business executives, he has been quoted in various news bits about his company, but that is about the company and does not in itself confer notability to him nor is it possible to craft a valid biographical article from that. As it is, such reports can only confirm his job titles and role in the works he's been involved with.

Multifaith spaces (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD • AfD statistics)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
  • Article contains no sources or references about the overall topic.
  • The sole article cited does not actually use the phrase "multifaith spaces".
  • Searching Google News Archive results in zero hits.
  • Between Google Book and Google Scholar searches, there are a total of five hits. None of them appear to discuss the phrase in any depth.
  • The article itself isn't sure of what "multifaith spaces" means—is it a single space shared by multiple faiths? Or multiple spaces, each dedicated to a different faith, but all under the same roof?
  • It's an {{orphan}}—while an editor (User:Sole Soul) removed that tag, he said on the talk page that he only did so because he couldn't find any articles to link to this one.
  • The last sentence in the article makes two different unrelated claims, neither of which is sourced and both of which could cause offense.
  • Article was prod'd (by me) and then contested by User:Sole Soul, with the statement that it's notable. The only reason given to support notability, though, was that entirely different words could be found on Google Books and Scholar searches. While I agree that many many other words and phrases exist and have their own notability, I do not see how that fact implies anything about the notability of this particular phrase/article—especially as the words searched on included neither "multifaith" nor "paces".
  • Article contains weasel words such as "typical," "sometimes," and "occasionally," leading it to be so fuzzy that it doesn't describe any one thing at all. Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 01:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


  • Keep A significant concept--the searching is a little complicated as there can be a variety of phrases used for them. And, just trying the simple variations of "multi faith space" , "multifaith space" and "multi faith spaces" in addition to the prebuilt search above, I found , several more G Books results ,, , & more in GScholar , , (the Googles do not properly truncate plurals in multi word phrases.) Otherproblems can be fixed by a little rewriting. We are judging whether the topic is suitable, not critiquing the article. ` DGG ( talk ) 03:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep A search for "multi faith prayer room" in Google news and in Google books shows that the topic is notable. Dori argued in the talk page that "multi faith prayer space" is different from "multi faith prayer room", I disagree. The other issues that Dori raised do not justify a deletion. If an article is about Bob, I will certainly search for Robert. Sole Soul (talk) 03:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • {{Diff}}s, please?

    What I said—and which you did not refute—was that your search would find a sentence like, "PR rep Faith Johnson said the new model offered plenty of room, and when combined with a multi-function printer, left their competition without a prayer"—which has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Note that that's a single sentence; so long as a book had the words "multi", "faith", "prayer" and "room" anywhere in its text, you counted it as a hit. If chapter 1 mentions a "multi-purpose room" and chapter 8 contains the words "faith" and "prayer," can you honestly say that that book is a source? And if so, why didn't you add it as a reference?

    And in case you didn't know (which appears to be the case): searching for "multi" and "faith" as separate terms will not find "multifaith"—which is why I asked you multiple times what it was you thought you were searching for. Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 01:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

You are right, I made a stupid mistake. Here is the new links . Thank you for the information. I tried multifaith and it returned much fewer results, I have a habit of saying only what is enough to make my point. Sole Soul (talk) 02:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
And when you don't say enough to make your point clear (to me, at least), I'll ask. And as an example, are your last two examples supposed to be the same? I would have done your searches as: , , , and , myself. Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 05:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep and Move to Multifaith space - this topic is absolutely worth an article. They are appearing in hospitals and Universities here in Australia, and I expect that they will become de rigueur. So keep the article, but move it to the singular. - Richard Cavell (talk) 13:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep The topic itself is notable enough, and the sources identified by DGG would be sufficient to make this more informative and verifiable. Mandsford (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment - something I didn't mention above, as it's not about the article, per se: y'all should be aware that the word multifaith, as used elsewhere in WP, has a different meaning entirely. When you say that the phrase "multifaith room" or "multifaith space" is notable, to which version of "multifaith" are you referring? And so far as I can tell, none of the terms religious pluralism, interfaith, ecumenism, interreligious, or syncretism fit, either.

    What's the correct term for "the building with the sign out front that says Sunday am: Christian services; Saturday am: Jewish services; Sat eve: teen disco; Sun eve: poetry slam; M-F day: Childcare; Tue eve: Knitting club; Thurs eve: Chess club"—community centre, maybe? According to one of these sources (from DGG's search above), the correct term may simply be auditorium. Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 01:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Rename, as can be shown by the sources that DGG provided, the "multi faith worship space" concept is important and should be covered. With that said, the title is bad (should be moved to Multifaith Space, and the article could use quite a bit of work to bring it up to the sort of standards that we expect. Lankiveil 08:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC).
  • Comment Reckon that we 'uns can figure this'n out, seein' as how the problem is that it's not about the article per se, but the title of the article. Mandsford (talk) 15:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Reply - My perception is that both the title of the article and the content are issues. If the consensus is to (1) change the name of the article, and (2) change the entire content so that it matches the meaning of multifaith as used elsewhere (both on WP and in DGG's links), there's a name for that—it's called "deletion." I've got no problems with creating an entirely new article with a different title and different content, but that's not the same thing as !voting to keep this article.

The result was Delete. Either the list presents these timelines/events as if there is a relation between them, which would be a violation of WP:SYNTH. Or they are presented as individual facts, without link between them, which makes it WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The keep arguments (useful, interesting, fun, ...) are less convincing than the delete ones.

WP:NOTCRYSTAL,WP:INDISCRIMINATE,WP:OR ,WP:RS and finally WP:V.

This article reads like an April fools . How can we have a "timeline" from hundreds of non-related sources. There appears to be no criteria for inclusion here apart from it happens in a fictional future. There are very few references, some of the dates appear to be guess work (i.e Dune times are changed from in universe times to standard times) , a quick search for Dune finds we jump in mid way threw the series with no mention of events of the first 2 books! I could go on... Gnevin (talk) 16:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete This is exactly why WP is seen by many as useless and unreliable. we have nearly no references, there is wild synthesis, original research, lots of incomplete links. (a year that says x happened links to that year, event is not listed). its a fan page, basically. i personally love the idea of comparing different timelines, but for it to be encyclopedic it would have to show the NOTABILITY of each fictional or predicted event, ie why who wrote it is an important source. Arthur clarke: notable. Family guy/star wars/futurama ad nauseum: not notable as being serious efforts of foretelling. any and all fictional future events can safely go in the articles on years. comparing different peoples timelines, if it was not done in a book already, is blatant original research. Seriously, can anyone show how this doesnt violate WP article guidelines? id like to know how it lasted for 6 years with no serious attempt to fix or delete.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete as simply outside the reasonable scope of an encyclopedia. Way too broad, could never be even 1% complete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:03, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's a big, wp:indiscriminate collection of non-wp:notable information. While I find the idea of interconnecting or reconciling independent fictional elements very interesting (eg. the Wold Newton family), this is not that beast. This is merely a list of events in unconnected timelines which have never been seriously discussed or cross-referenced by any reliable source. That Dark Angel begins in the year 2009 and is largely set in 2019 wasn't really relevant to the narrative of the work itself, let alone relevant to Knowing or Blade Runner. The article itself even acknowledges that this one tangential connection (being future fictional events) isn't even particularly relevant or notable, “he needs of the story are usually the primary concern, and science fiction stories are often more about the present in which they are written than the future in which they are supposedly set.» scoops ŧâłķ 18:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete Another hangover from Knowledge (XXG)'s early days, apparently meant as a place for things that weren't interesting enough for another article, a bedpost for everyone to stick their chewed gum upon. This has so many things wrong with it, including things that most people would not consider a "future event" (i.e., something that was still "in the future" at the time the book or movie or TV show came out) and the fact that one could put thousands of entries on here, both uninteresting and slightly interesting. Mandsford (talk) 20:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep per the last Afd. It does what it says on the tin & is useful for research. The current referencing is poor, but the content should be entirely verifiable, and there is no OR or synthesis when no connection between the events, other than the date assigned to them, is claimed. Nom does not stand up; deleters need to find better reasons. Johnbod (talk) 21:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand Actually Johnbod has made most of the points I intended to. I will just add that WP:NOTCRYSTAL simply doesn’t apply, and that the fact that it is entertaining makes it not in the least unencyclopaedic, Ian Spackman (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep The article has potential, and I actually wish all our articles had such information on the origin of their sources. The argument being made here is that the page is not required because its essentially a list of things yet to occur, but I see this as a fleet in being article which could aid in the battle against cruft, pop culture, and other poisonous information which would contaminate a lot of articles of high quality. I will allow for the possibility that the information could be presented in other articles, but as is it I think keeping this article would be a good thing. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. If this would be a complete article, it would be the longest article we would have, by far. This makes as much sense as trying to summarize every kind of fiction in one article, or having timelines of past fictional events. --Conti| 00:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep If they are key events in notable fiction the list is not indiscriminate. What it needs is not deletion, but expansion (and each event before the RW present should of course give the date of publication of the work involved, which is the justification for listing it. )

  • Comment: I would argue that it doesn't fail any of the listed policies, as per some commenters above, except WP:INDISCRIMINATE, which lists "plot-only description of fictional works" as its first example. It's harmless, but the topic is indeed way too broad, so I'm ambivalent. --L33tminion (talk) 03:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. Clearly an indescriminate collection of facts which is a violation of wikipedia policy. L33tminion is correct that this is not OR since it does not claim to advance a position, but there is no need to go there anyway since this is a fundamental violation of WP:NOT policies related to directories and indescrimate collection of information and violates the guidelines of WP:Stand-alone lists (which also speaks to timelines) by being overbroad. Pages that violate policy this flagrantly need to be expunged sooner rather than later. Indrian (talk) 05:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Relisting comment. I believe it is worth to give this debate some more time. Personally, I'd go for Delete per indiscriminate (what are the most important events from Star Trek for example?) The article in the present state is a mess and confronts WP:SYNTH. But it could eventually be rewritten from beginning. --Tone 01:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete it's an indiscriminate list of events, and not suitable for an encyclopedia. ~DC Talk To Me 00:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:OR and WP:NOT. If Knowledge (XXG) is the only place a list such as this is written, than we can't include it. We only work off of what has already been published in reliable sources. We can't put together timelines spanning different fictional universes such as this, as that would be original research. We only write on topics that have already been written on. ThemFromSpace 01:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete. Ye Olde Novel Synthesis at work creating something found in none of the sources, with no particular criterion for inclusion other than "the future". Gavia immer (talk) 02:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • comment to answer some objections, the criterion is events in major fictions, major as determined by Knowledge (XXG)'s notable criteria-- This is therefore not indiscriminate; the sources are directly from the works involved, an acceptable source for such things, so it is not OR. Putting numbered things in a list by chronological order is not SYNTHESIS. Whether someone has made such a list before or not is irrelevant and not a criterion for a list. DGG ( talk ) 03:13, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Quoting directly from WP:SYNTH "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article. Organizing this list when it hasn't been organized before is indeed synthesis as per our OR policy. ThemFromSpace 03:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
This list does not say "therefore" anything, thereby avoiding synthesis. Johnbod (talk) 14:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Right, but this is not an argument, so I really do not think WP:SYNTH applies. However, I completely disagree with DGG that this is not an indescriminate collection because we do not have reliable sources that claim there is any value to grouping these events together into a single timeline. This list throws in every fictional event from "major fictions," as DDG calls them, and therefore makes no effort to discriminate between which of these events are actually important through reliable sources. I imagine it would be difficult if not impossible to provide third-party sources that attest to the importance of most of these events, as they would generally just be mentioned in passing in plot summaries or the like. Indrian (talk) 06:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Most items on the list cover the whole action of a fiction; for others, like "2053 - World War III devastates Earth in Star Trek" the "importance" seems clear. Johnbod (talk) 14:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Exactly, most items do cover the whole action, which is the very definition of indescriminate since no effort is made to pull out the actual important events using reliable sources. Also, for specific events, the "importance" is only clear the same way importance is made clear in every other wikipedia article: significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. That is the standard articulated by the core guildeline of WP:N, and this article fails to meet it. Indrian (talk) 18:22, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. Such a list cannot be encyclopedic because timelines of events in different works of fiction aren't compatible with each other. This causes the article to consist of too much synthesis. Some events also lack proper references. JIP | Talk 10:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - indiscriminate list. There are thousands of work of fiction set in the future, each with its own set of "significant events".--70.80.234.196 (talk) 03:19, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm not in love with the title, but the content is shaping up to be very encyclopedic and valuable per wp:notability. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:20, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete Truly indiscriminate, in a sense it is a synthesis (it is being asserted that there is a single traceable timeline between hundreds if not thousands of fictional universes which do not occupy the same space). The more it's updated the less related each individual component becomes as we move away from the handful of different authors etc. currently listed to a complete mess. There are literally thousands of books, video games, films and TV series, role-playing games, comics, songs and other things which could be added. Self-perpetuating self-defeat, no thanks. Someoneanother 11:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
There is no such assertion at all; rather the opposite. No timeline list on a major topic can ever be "complete"; this is not a relevant objection. The list has been around a long time & remains at a very managable size; if it ever became enormous that would be the time to object on those grounds. Johnbod (talk) 14:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Of course there is an assertion, a correlation has been formed on a single data field; the year the fictional event supposedly occured. If that was not the case then it wouldn't be listed in year order, the list is organized in such a way that it suggests that readers can navigate these topics in a meaningful way because they're birds of a feather. It may have been a consistently small dustbin of trivia up till now, but that doesn't change what it is nor what it can only become (a large dustbin of trivia) should someone actually bother to update it. Someoneanother 15:36, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Without wishing to labour the obvious, the whole point of the article is that it allows comparison of what are clearly incompatible and individual timelines, which is exactly where the utility of it lies! Johnbod (talk) 16:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Except that half of them are not lines at all, merely random events from random fictions which can be nailed to a particular year. The list's lead states "This list is a chronological collection of significant events from various works of such fiction." That isn't about comparing individual timelines, it's about mashing individual timelines and one-off fictional events together willy-nilly into one big, meaningless mess. While I can certainly see why a great many people would be interested in timelines from particularly well-known series in direct comparison (say Sherlock Holmes against other fictional detectives from that era), that's not this list's stated aim or the reality on the ground, this is a dustbin for random dates from random fictions.

As suggested in an undated comment by a user on the article's talk page, this article is just a repeat of information that is also in the artist page. The merge as suggested by that person has already been done, and there appears to be little interest, given the album article's history, of creating a more robust article. I can also find little third-party discussion or notable reviews for the album. With the merge complete, there now appears to be little reason to keep this album page.

The result was merge to Jim Halpert. The "keep" arguments are quite weak; that the article contains valuable information is not a reason for retention. On the other hand, there is not a consensus to delete. Since merging is a proposed option, we shall go by that. King of 07:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The subject of this list isn't relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of Jim Halpert and fails our notability guidelines as the contents haven't received significant discussion from reliable, third-party sources. The article only contains in-universe material which is a violation of WP:WAF since we need to show that the fictional subjects we cover have impacted the real-world as well as the fictional world. Lastly, this appears to be listcruft as it is a violation of WP:IINFO and cannot be reliably cited from third-party sources, leading to inherent original research.

  • Why does it deserve to be deleted? It hasn't broken any rules. It's just a place where someone can see what types of pranks Jim has played on his co-workers. ThurstAsh13 (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I think it would be pretty beneficial for some "Office" fan out there, they could be wondering what pranks Jim has pulled on his fellow co-workers. This article would be exactly what they are looking for. Lots more information will be added as the show goes on and the descriptions can be enhanced to give the reader a great mental picture.

  • Delete. This Billboard article notes that two 1993 compilations from the series, 100% Dance and 100% Dance Vol. 2, were certified platinum in the UK. However, this does more to help potential individual album articles than anything. I can not find any significant coverage for the 100% series; does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC.  Gongshow  02:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Fails notability guidelines as there is no significant coverage from reliable sources that I can find.

Fails to meet WP:Athlete, appearances with DSC Arminia Bielefeld reserves playing in the NRW-Liga (5th tier German football) and Football Club Saronno 1910 playing in the Eccellenza Lombardia (6th tier Italian football). Any appearances for the Blacktown City Demons are either at youth level or if at senior level are in the semi-professional NSW Premier League. Camw (talk) 11:06, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

This is about an enterprise that offers personal genetic services. The non-profit was founded about a week ago according to the article. There are no third party references about this company from online searches, though there are many references to the completed international effort to map the human genome (Human Genome Project). Someday, this organization might be notable enough for an article here, but it shouldn't need a Knowledge (XXG) article that explains its mission, delivery times and its cost differentials from its competitors to get there.
