non notable building, not yet complete Gaijin42 (talk) 22:30, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

When completed, it will be 9th tallest building in Poland measuring height to the highest point of building, 5th measuring height to the roof, and 3rd highest residential building in Poland (2nd in Warsaw). Piotrek91 (talk) 22:58, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

None of which is mentioned in the article, and none of which is backed up by references. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:00, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Height of 160m is backed up by references. I don't think it's good idea to list all positions in various rankings in article, for such purpose we have List of tallest buildings in Poland. I've mentioned them to prove that it is not some random building. Piotrek91 (talk) 23:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

I still think this would fail GNG, even though such facts are interesting. Notability is established by having someone in WP:RS talk about it Gaijin42 (talk) 23:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

I think it's hard to find such info in english resources, in polish it won't be a problem. ctbuh.org, emporis.com, Warsaw Business Jorunal, Warsaw Business Journal. And in polish it' really more, for example: warszawa.gazeta.pl, tvnwarszawa.pl - two biggest info news sites for Warsaw, belonging to biggest polish media companies Agora SA and TVN. Piotrek91 (talk) 23:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Conditional keep. I think skyscrapers, planned or not, are notable, and Piotrek shows there are sources. But please, add those sources, preferably as inline references, to the article itself. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 05:07, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep, article clearly needs a bit of work, but it's a major construction project mentioned in enough sources to make it notable.--Kotniski (talk) 08:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep Article was nominated for deletion a remarkable eight minutes after it was created. I recommend the nominator read WP:DEMOLISH. In the meantime, the article has been expanded and sourced and I think the tower's notability has been established. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 19:47, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete I see nothing but strictly routine coverage. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:13, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep - The coverage of this topic is in-depth (also found this) and does appear to pass our guidelines. Major construction project. WP:ROUTINE, which is actually part of WP:EVENT of which this topic is not one, refers to "sporting events" and "announcements." The coverage demonstrated here aren't anything like that. --Oakshade (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

The result was keep. There's enough input here to determine that consensus hasn't changed from the previous AFD. Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:39, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Sreelakshmi Suresh

AfDs for this article:

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

Obviously an ambitious self promotion. The specific points which reveal that it was an attempt on self promotion are below:

User:Gk00900, the author of this article has made no other contribution other than authoring this article! See Contributions of Gk00900. The only other page edited is List of people from Kerala to insert this very article in the list!!! It makes me doubt that User:Gk00900 is 'Sreelakshmi Suresh'. No no, not an accusation. Can you blame me if I doubt that?
The only award which is established by the sources is that of the 'Association of American Webmasters' and apparently it is an award dispensing organization, with no established credibility. The the 2nd AfD discussion has some data on it. All the other awards are just claims, and the only credible newpaper that reports it is 'The Hindu'. Here again 'The Hindu' reports it only as a claim and not as a fact.

'Sreelakshmi has won the Global Internet Directories Gold Award (U.S.A.), Association of American Webmasters Merit Award, Association of American Webmasters Official membership and Art Space's World Web Award of Excellence 2006-07 (USA), said her father.' (From Ref 2 in the article).

This article was previously nominated for deletion. Both the AfDs ended in a 'Keep' decesion. The main argument that supported the 'keep' was that we sould clean it up, instead of removing it. And some effort of the community was put in to make it look better. But why should we clean it and retain it, if the intention of self promotion is obvious?

And finally, I dont care if someone promote themselves through their personal web sites. But is Knowledge the place for this? Austria156 (talk) 21:30, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep per everything said in the August 2011 AfD... Seriously, its only been 4 months. Mkdw 08:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

discussion for consensus do NOT VOTE COUNT...so do you have a specific reason to "keep"?Lihaas (talk) 21:08, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

I quote a few lines up: "per everything said in the August 2011 AfD". Would you like me to copy and paste the entire discussion that is barely dry off the page from only a few months ago, or are you able to click the link I provided? Never said anything about a vote count so why don't you not put words in people's mouths and stick to the AfD process. Mkdw 00:59, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep - The availability of reliable sources qualifies this topic for inclusion. Also, it is quite unlikely that this thirteen-year old girl in India created this article to promote herself, per assertions in the nomination for deletion. Northamerica1000 15:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Thi s is quite clearly oconjecture when you say "quite unlikely " care to clarify as discussion for consensus are based on the merit of the conversation. at least one RS is utter rubbish and not RS.Lihaas (talk) 21:08, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

But it is not unlikely that this 13 year old girl has created award-winning websites and is managing a webdesign venture all by herself!!! I did not mean to say that she did it all (either this article or her web sites) by herself. I meant only that User:Gk00900 is a promoter of this person. It is obvious and unrefutable (User:Gk00900 has made no other edits in all these years, since 2007. Could you explain that with a simpler theory than this). So this user might be one of her parents, or a relative.

We go by what reliable sources say, not your opinion about what is or isn't likely. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:59, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

By whatever sources, is it likely that User:Gk00900 is only a promoter of the 'subject'? And is not this a significant problem as per established Knowledge policy? Austria156 (talk) 21:05, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

It's not a reason for article deletion, especially when based on guesswork. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

I have no problem. But if we, sincere wikipedians, including you, me, and all of us here, bring up the laws here, read them in letters, instead of in the spirit, and support this kind of obvious and blatant self promotion; where would this lead Knowledge to? A Gk00900, who have made just this one contribution to Knowledge with selfish intentions has left and we are now working hard to make it look better and arguing hard whether or not to delete it. I could just have overlooked this article. Why did I stop on it and gave it a third AfD where the first two had failed. Because I wanted Knowledge to be clean of self promotional stuff. If not for this AfD, this article will remain here unnoticed for years or until the life of Knowledge itself. And I have no problem about it. And know this. I am an Indian. From the very state of this 'subject'. I have never heard such a name before. This person is not notable even in city of Calicut where she resides. And here we are arguing whether she is notable or not. Thank you. I quit the discussion. Sorry for being emotional. Any sincere person will yield for emotions when let down mercilessly. Thank you all. I am unhappy, but I have no hard feeling towards any of you. Good luck. Austria156 (talk) 22:16, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

delete obvious promotion for a non-notable subject. should we have pages for EVERY award winner for EVERY award? children do get awards too...and the sources (many of them) are dubious too, wordpress for example. Furthermore, not hard to see a web designer can maintain this page, esp. since its the sole editLihaas (talk) 08:28, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep The last AFD was at 3 August 2011. Consensus was clear. Nothing has changed since then, so this is a waste of everyone's time. The Hindu is a major newspaper. If coverage was found last time, then I don't see what the problem is. Also, look at all of those awards. The ones given by the India government and by notable organizations surely indicate notability of this person. Click the Google news archive link. Plenty of sources. asiaone is a reliable source and the first thing that appears, giving full coverage to this person. Dream Focus 16:36, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep - The game is currently in development and Content will be added to the page as soon as it is available, i am still adding more detail to it as we speak. This game has now been announced and the wiki page should be created for it. -Fluffyman24- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fluffyman24 (talk • contribs) 13:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete - WP:CRYSTAL. Recreate once more solid facts are known. (No reason to keep until then - the entire article would virtually need to be redone anyways...) Sergecross73 msg me 16:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete No evidence of notability. The reason giving for keeping is "Content will be added to the page as soon as it is available", but we don't have articles on the basis of speculation that suitable information will become available some time in the future: we need evidence of notability now, and we haven't got it. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:17, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep in reply to JamesBWatson, there is more information coming out on the 10/12/2011 there will be more information at that point.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.140.174 (talk)

The main problem with that is that for an article to be meet the notability guideline the subject needs to be covered by independent sources which are also reliable. The company releasing the game offering more content about the game would not meet that standard since it is not independent of the subject. Unless other sources cover this the article will not meet the guideline. --199.91.207.3 (talk) 21:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

The game has now been announced to be developed by Naughty Dog so another possibility may be to redirect the game to the developer until there is enough information to split the article.--70.24.215.154 (talk) 22:56, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete. Another Enterprise Resource Planning software (ERP) company advertising on Knowledge. 'References' are to routine coverage of startup financing and to a company profile. "Global", shopping, and "solutions" in the business name --- how many more indicia of non-notability can you get? - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep: lack of action to improve this article shows only that the principals of WP:BEFORE have not been thoroughly followed and the name of the company as an indicator of non-notability is a new one on me. (You could make the same point about "International", "Business", and "Machines" but it wouldn't change that company's notability.) Coverage is thin but notability is not a competition. - Dravecky (talk) 09:02, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete as per Smerdis of Tlön. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:20, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete - The coverage is too thin to meet WP:CORP. Of the two Houston Chronicle refs listed in the article, I was able to find the online copy for one; Exports are rare bright spot for falling dollar, which is a passing mention. The title of the other article implies coverage about raising capital which is routine business coverage. I can find lots of press releases and they are mentioned in articles like this. What I cannot find is significant coverage about the company that would be sufficient to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Weak keep At one point, he was considered one of the best players in his high school class . He even committed to UCLA as an eighth grader . It seems like he hasn't really lived up to expectations, but an article on him has some merit, for those wondering "Where is he now?"

Advent Bangun

unreferenced, notability not established, very short article, no external links Breawycker (talk to me!) 19:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment - I already tagged it for speedy deletion before you nominated this JDOG555 (talk) 19:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

There was a claim of notability on the talk-page (posted to dispute the speedy tag). It's a reasonable claim (though uncited), so I declined the speedy (tagged for lack of asserted notability). However, it's uncited, so we're at best in WP:BLPPROD land (I tagged as such). I also found his entry in the Indonesian wikipedia and added an interwiki link. That article is unreferenced (lists lots of films but they only appear "to exist" and some of those articles have IMDB and other sources that he is in them) but no independent in-depth review of this person as a notable star or a major force in major productions (rather than just existing and perhaps often-appearing in films of uncertain en.wp notability).~~I have to !vote delete for now because I don't have any references handy, but would certainly change that if W:RS for personal notability are provided.~~DMacks (talk) 20:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep: Passes GNG and WP:ACTOR. There are 24 GNews hits ( and 239 GBooks Hits about him. Despite of the difficult translation, many sources seem to confirm the claim that he was an Indonesian major movie star in the 80's. For example this article on Kapan Lagi says that him and Barry Prima struggled to be the most popular actors in 80's/beginning of 90's ("mantan aktor laga seangkatan Barry Prima dan Advent Bangun di era 80-an sampai 90-an"). this one basically says the same ("Pada era '80-an hingga '90-an film-film yang dibintangi Barry Prima maupun Advent Bangun sangat mudah ditemukan"). One article in Galamedia clearly says that he "starred in several blockbusters" (" membintangi sejumlah film laris"), this article's opening sentence is: "After the glory days of Barry Prima and Advent Bangun in the 80s era" ("Setelah masa-masa kejayaan Barry Prima dan Advent Bangun di era 80-an"), one other article opening sentence says: "Perfilman Indonesia sempat diramaikan dengan aktor-aktor laga seperti Barry Prima, Advent Bangun, George Rudy dll.", ie "Indonesian cinemas were crowded with action actors such Barry Prima, Advent Bangun, George Rudy, etc.."... --Cavarrone (talk) 06:43, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep - The sourcing found by Cavarrone (thanks!) is sufficient to show that the person was a major star of Indonesian cinema of the 80's. Given the time period, and language barrier, good sources are likely to be offline and require somebody proficient in Indonesian to improve the article -- Whpq (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Occupy Homes

neologism. term not widely used. Content should be part of one of the larger "occupy" articles. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Occupy Movement, as per above. One of the sources cited does not even mention 'Occupy Homes'! Sionk (talk) 10:54, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep Although it appears to share the Occupy brand, it clearly has a different social origin and is using different methods to highlight a different, if related social issue than the Occupy <named place> groups. As to sources, news organisations are posting them frequently, several hundred at last count. Daffodillman (talk) 01:01, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Certainly the movement exists. The question is - is it in fact a distinct movement. As far as I can see, none of the RS indicate so or indicate the notability of the hypothetical separate movement. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Strong Keep - since this AfD began this group has received a very large level of coverage in third-party sources, more than satisfying GNG. The article is capable of considerable expansion, and the main Occupy movement article is already very long and not a suitable place for a merge.().Rangoon11 (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Strong Keep - What is the rush to judgement? This is a recent event, the article has existed for barely 4 days. You cannot possibly be saying it is a dead issue. I see 18 sources and can add more. It was the tease material for my local newscast last night. Drama will continue to build following that kind of exposure. Even if it dies now, it has had its run at the top of the news cycle and was a notable piece of history on its own merits in that period of time. Trackinfo (talk) 03:28, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Lance Kennedy

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

Individual is apparently a politician, but has not occupied any international, national, or statewide office; nor is he a major local political figure receiving significant press coverage.
Further, individual has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article." Most of the sources cited are on websites controlled by that individual.
Notably, none of these websites/nonprofits themselves appear to have Knowledge pages. An ideal solution would be to merge this page into those. Perhaps it should be merged into Texas College Republicans.

"Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person."

Given the lack of notability and the authorship largely by a single individual, this article may be autobiographical: WP:AUTO.GimliDotNet (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:BIO, I believe this article meets the criteria for notability.

Other articles reference similar individuals as "politicians;" see Henrik_Asheim or Eskil Pedersen, etc. Webster's Dictionary defines a politician as: ": a person experienced in the art or science of government; especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government 2 a : a person engaged in party politics as a profession
Most, if not all, of the sources are from independent sources. How did you verify control of websites by subject?
Create one. They meet notability requirements.
He seems to be the primary subject of the articles, or deal with him directly in them. This means the subject is notable, not just associated with notable subjects.
Most of the articles are from independent, third-party sources, that is the requirement for NPOV status.

Comment - I haven't had time to look into all of the citations listed in the article. But the first 10 or so I looked at didn't have any mention at all of Lance Kennedy. They were about various organizations, etc., and not about him. To make this conversation a bit easier for evaluation, could someone who believes this is a Keep please point to some independent reliable third party sources that give significant coverage to Lance Kennedy directly?

Delete Many of the original article's sources did not make specific mention of Lance Kennedy. Some of those were trimmed. The article was also trimmed to remove extraneous information about organizations that was not about Lance Kennedy in an attempt to move the article closer to something that could be reliably sourced. Unfortunately when at that state it appears that there are not sufficient significant independent reliable sources to establish notability for the subject. Since that trimming some of the deleted extraneous content has been readded by the original article author once again making the largest part of the article not directly about Lance Kennedy. It appears there simply is not enough independent reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG, and as such the article should be deleted. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Film has not entered production (and is not scheduled to until the spring) and has not had significant coverage. I suggest to incubate, but it cannot have a stand-alone article yet per WP:NFF BOVINEBOY2008 18:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

You've hit the nail on the head there: "once filming starts". Until then, this isn't notable. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:13, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

This film isn't just in pre-production, if you read the news articles, it says that the actors in this movie are already rehearsing their lines and scenes. It would be idiotic to delete this article now and then recreate it again 24 days later....Watch the video on this news article today from the Huffington Post. The lead actor, Bradley Cooper talks about the movie as well as showing a picture of his costume for the movie. --Stemoc (talk) 11:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Then we should redirect it. Nothing will be lost, and once there is more coverage and filming starts, the redirect can be reverted. In the meantime, any additional information can be added at redirect location. Easy! P.S. - rehearsing lines is not part of the production process, it is still in the pre-production stages. --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Does he confirm that filming has commenced? This is still just a news article - see my comment below. --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Aah..Wikipedians, making even the simplest of things harder....I do not get your logic, this movie will not go into filming in 2 or 3 months or more but in less than a month. The article alone has had over 4700 views this month. This is not a crystalball. This movie is a definite GO. This film is not just a "rumour " or in developments stages such as scripting and neither is it in development hell. The filming dates have been defined and its January 2012, It will be released in 2013 and the core of the main cast has been confirmed...Redirecting this article serves no purpose--Stemoc (talk) 12:06, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

No purpose, unless you read the established guidelines regarding notability, which this article fails. You seem to be very definite in the fact that this film will be made. No-one can know the future. At the moment there is no film to write an article on, just the plan of a film. What's your obection to following guidelines and developing this "on an article about the subject matter" until it becomes notable? Do you have any extenuating circumstances why we shouldn't follow guidelines? If we don't follow guidelines, we end up with articles like Used Guys knocking around. --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

The problem with the Used Guys was that it never into pre-production. It was scrapped due to high costs by the production company. Though the chance of a less expensive version may see it get made in the near future. The guidelines are not perfect on this wiki. It Assumes that every film in pre-production will NOT get made. It doesn't account for Bigger budgeted movies. Maybe the people who set up the guidelines were not familiar with how this work. Maybe we should also delete the article on the 2016 Summer Olympics article as well because, per the guidelines, it has not happen and will not happen for another 5 years...Why are the guidelines biased towards films only? This movie is also in pre-production and yet no one has challenged its inclusion. Maybe you should go through this category and start tagging every movie there for deletion because we don't know how many of those movies are in development mode, script mode, or even in pre-production.....Just because the people who wrote the guidelines didn't account for this doesn't mean you have to blindly follow that guideline--Stemoc (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, the guidelines are often discussed by the members of WP:WikiProject Film so would suggest that the guidelines are monitored by people who are "familiar with how this work". They do not assume that any film in pre-production will not get made, but states that a film is not notable until it gets made (because it doesn't exist), and then when it is in production, only notable if the production itself is notable. Have a look at WP:ATA#CRYSTAL. Pre-production stages have clearly been taken into account when writing the guidelines, becuase they say that articles for films that have not started principal photography should not be created. Of course, there are common sense exceptions to the guidelines, but this is clearly not one of them, as there is very little on this article except for parrotting casting and minor production decisions. As I've already asked - do you have any extenuating circumstances why we shouldn't follow guidelines? What's your obection to following guidelines and developing this "on an article about the subject matter" until it becomes notable? And I agree - the Burt Wonderstone article is also premature (and there probably some others too). The existence of one article does not justify the inclusion of another. Oh - and WP:CRYSTAL deals with your question regarding the Olympics. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I really think you're making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. What would be the point of moving it now, only to move it back in a month or so? Is "because it's policy" the only argument? If that's the case, I'd like to point out that Knowledge's purpose is to provide copyright-free information that is free and open to the public. Knowledge is not a bureaucracy. It is for petty things such as this that WP:IGNORE exists. SweetNightmares (awaken) 00:26, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

He truly believes that WP:NFF is policy and it is his only argument. As i have tried to explain to him (to no success), the real premature articles are forcasting films announced. I feel an article becomes notable when they announce casting AND filming dates. RAP (talk) 1:46 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I have asked you before Rusted Auto Parts to stop trying to make things personal. Please read WP:Avoid personal attacks. Once more and I will be taking this further. As you can see from my arguments above and below, I have more than explained my reasoning for considering this article to be non-notable in more than just terms of WP:NFF. You may feel that a film becomes notable once a filming date is announced, but this is NOT what the guidelines say. Even if filming had started, there is not "significant coverage" to make this article notable - see below. You are entitled to your opinion, why are you so against me having one? --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:43, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

What personal attack? I was only saying that you were enforcing a guideline as policy. Not making it personal at all. And a film can only receive significant coverage only when it's filming? Boloney! As stated perviously, a film can receive coverage before filming. That part in WP:NFF should really be re-written as "Any film that has only been announced or hasn't entered any stage of production should NOT receive an article." I.E., If any film isn't in pre-production bordering filming, than yes, redirect it. Please calm down, Rob, and read WP:LEMONADE (i should probably too). RAP (talk) 12:44 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, discussion should be about the subject matter, not the editor. You jumped into the discussion here with "He truly believes that WP:NFF is policy and it is his only argument" - this is an attack on the editor, not the content. It is also untrue. Any changes to WP:NFF should be discussed at the relevant talk page to see if you can find consensus. And I'm not saying that any film can't receive significant coverage, I just feel that this one hasn't yet. Please note though that significant coverage is not just saying "John Doe has been cast" - this is just a repeat of news - it needs to have been discussed objectively and had some critical anaylysis - see my comment below regarding that. And generally, until a film receives this, it is not notable. Also, a film does not automatically become notable the minute the cameras start rolling either. It still needs the same significant coverage. Arguments for keeping the article need to demonstrate that significant coverage is existent, not argue that "this film is notable because it is going to get made" or "look - there are loads of sources saying John Doe will be in it". These are not valid arguments. Also, an argument for why an article should be excepted from the guidelines is more useful than "I don't like the guideline". Please also note that I am not the only editor with these opinions regarding this article, and it wasn't my nomination in the first place. --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment. As well as WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NFF, I would like to direct editors commenting here to read WP:GNG which states "Knowledge is not a news source: it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage. For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage. Even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage." As all we have here is a list of cast and crew, this is just a news item; we have no critical analysis here. I'd invite you to reconsider your stance. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Redirect - Per the GNG and NFF, there is no significant coverage for this potential film. I wouldn't delete the page, but the title should have been a redirect from the getgo. Redirect it to either Alex Proyas' page, or to the Paradise Lost page. It completely fails the notability guideline regardless, and could not be considered one of the "exceptions" considering the lack of coverage it has. The sources also contradict the page. This one announcing Cooper's involvement says it's planned for a 2013 release. This says that it will be a "LATE" 2013. Another 2013, and again in 2013. So, this film isn't even close to coming out. It's go almost 2 years before it's planned release in late 2013. With the limited coverage, and the fact that the sources even say that production won't start until 2012, it should not be a page right now. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:26, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep So far, it looks as if there are a growing number of references and information on cast and crew. Many notable names here. This looks like a big production. If the James Bond films can be listed before they even have titles, why not this one? Let it grow naturally, it will unfold quickly.--Fightingirish (talk) 03:06, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

List of songs about bicycles

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

There is nothing relevant about a song being about a bicycle. It is non-defining. There is precedent set by deleted "List of songs about" that include: animals, bad girls, basketball, being on fire, blackbirds, body parts, cheerleading, defecation, depression, disability, disasters, drugs, eating disorders, the environment , famous people, fantasy thoughts, fetal expulsion, fictitious bands, firearms, flatulence, friendship, groupies, hair, holidays, homosexuality, laziness, masturbation, mental illness, money, mothers, nudity, old people, places, politicians, romance, the seasons, sex, sleep, suicide, teenage fun, telephones, tequila, unrequited love, violence, war, and the weather omnibus deletion . Additionally WP:LISTN says "A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" And just to imagine people creating lists of songs by moon, the stars and whatever next comes up in an editors mind fails WP:MADEUP and WP:WHIM and if left unchecked will lead to a flood of pointless and useless lists that will only please the creators.

Saying that it's silly is an argument to avoid — WP:RUBBISH/WP:ITSFUNNY/WP:ITBOTHERSME. Warden (talk) 21:40, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep The nomination seems to be a cookie-cutter nomination and none of the points made is valid. The first sentence is just noise — what is relevant supposed to mean here? The basis of the article is certainly defining — what could be plainer? Note that we already have a list of films about bicycles and cycling created by another editor which demonstrates the concept being used in a similar way. The precedents listed are non-binding because we have an equally long list of other song classifications which have survived AFD — see Lists of music by theme, Lists of songs about a city, &c. As for WP:LISTN, this satisfied by the source supplied: The Voices That Are Gone: Themes in Nineteenth-Century American Popular Song.

As for the claims that this is pointless, useless &c., these are not policy-based arguments nor based upon independent evidence, just bilious and vexatious complaints of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, contrary to WP:NPOV and WP:CENSOR. Our editing policy tells us to preserve and improve such content, not to delete it. There are sources which categorise songs in this way such as Jeff Green (2002), The Green book of songs by subject: the thematic guide to popular music, Professional Desk References, ISBN 9780939735105. These demonstrate the validity of such categorisation by professionals in the music business, just as biologists categorise species and chemists categorise chemicals.

Finally, note that the nominator has himself worked upon other similar classifications such as Songs about trains, Songs about buses, Songs about trucks, Songs about aircraft. The nominator seems to be suggesting that bicycles are not a proper form of transport or some similar prejudice contrary to core policy.

Warden (talk) 22:03, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment. No, what is vexatious is the creation of this list after it becomes almost certain that a similiar list will be deleted at List of songs about rainbows and the creator being fully aware of the numerous precedents that these lists are generally deleted. You are also being disengenious, I did not work on those other songs by transport lists, I merely added a project tag, that does not preclude them being nominated for deletion by me or another editor. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, hands up, my error, I forgot I hotcatted List of Train songs and a few other list articles into the correct category scheme, hardly "working on" or contrary to WP:HONEST and certainly not to be confused with support, anymore than the fact I project tagged this article AND nominated it for deletion. --Richhoncho (talk) 04:48, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep Some list articles like this were deleted, others were kept, and many others haven't been challenged. Doesn't matter at all since its a case by case issue. This list article contains a lot of songs notable enough to have their own article. The list offers far more information than . And it has references too. Dream Focus 02:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep. The nom insists that "There is nothing relevant about a song being about a bicycle. It is non-defining." So...what a song is about is not relevant, nor is it defining of that song? That's not a very convincing claim, particularly when you look at this list (which no doubt should be, and could be, developed further) and see that many of the songs were about the novelty or trendiness of bicycles at the turn of the previous century and so represent an interesting snapshot in time. It shouldn't take much to see that such cultural representations are a significant part of history, but many Knowledge editors seem to have a blind spot when it comes to the value of this kind of information, if not an outright antipathy to "low culture". The nom seems quite frightened that unless we delete all lists of songs by subject, that others will create and work on lists that he does not like. I can't say that's a compelling concern either. Not all such lists are worthwhile; certainly we shouldn't try to index songs based on something they merely mention (a "list of songs that mention bicycles" would get no support from me), or overly broad subjects that end up being completely uninformative. But if the options are tolerating some silly ones or wiping out all indexes of songs by subject indiscriminately, I'll go with the former. Note also that we have Category:Songs about bicycles as part of a Category:Songs by theme structure. Lists complement that and can flesh that structure out with annotations, organizations alternative to alphabetical, and entries that though verifiable do not merit their own articles. postdlf (talk) 05:53, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep Interesting list that may be useful for those wanting to promote enviromentally friendly forms of transport. Also per Postdlf, though wouldnt say its just low culture, even Royals such as good Kate and William like to use Boris Bikes. FeydHuxtable (talk) 15:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- No, I was using that label in reference to songs, not biking. postdlf (talk) 16:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete. With very few exceptions, I find lists in this category problematic. One problem, significant here, is the original research inherent in them. Postdlf, above, agrees that a "list of songs that mention bicycles" would be problematic; how does this differ from such a hypothetical list? "Handlebars" and "Nine Million Bicycles" certainly do little more than that. The bicycles are incidental or metaphorical mentions and by no means the subject of the song; more importantly, we have no sources that identify bicycles as the subject of those songs. Even for this list, where we have a source that talks rather unexpectedly at length about the appearance of bicycles in late 19th century song (and does at one point call them "bicycle songs"), the referenced material hardly makes the case that these songs are about bicycles. Rather, they are "songs about courting" and changes to the courting scene enabled by an "escape the family parlor." I have no question that material adapted from that source belongs in article-space, discussing the historical culture impact of bicycles (EDIT: Indeed, this would make for an excellent expansion to Bicycle#Female emancipation). But I don't think that conveys evidence that this list contemplates a cross-categorization with its own notability ... or that there is any objective means of determining inclusion. And as I've mentioned elsewhere, I particularly discount The Green Book, which has "almost 1800 logical categories" of songs, without substantive commentary about the groupings. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't put any stock in the Green Book either. If you are correct in your analysis (the only substantive !delete comments so far in this AFD, btw), then yes I'd agree that if there are no songs actually about bicycles/cycling then the list is not useful, in the same way that "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" is not really a song "about" bridges. No doubt there may be some entries that shouldn't be included. But a reference calling a group of songs "bicycle songs," even if the songs are "really" about courting (in the same way that M*A*S*H is really about Vietnam?) goes a long way towards establishing the theme or subject as defining of those songs. It sounds like you're questioning why the song talks about bicycles, and if the bicycles aren't an end in themselves then you think they don't qualify, which is squeezing too hard in my view. At any rate, I'd like to see some more work developing sources and comments on these songs before it is given up on, particularly given the complete lack of talk page activity for this list at present which makes me think this AFD is premature at best. postdlf (talk) 20:53, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

There's not a trace of OR here because every one of these songs was obtained from another source, rather than my own thinking, and there is generally a lot of commonality in the sources. It's Squeamish Ossifrage's thesis which seems to be OR - an attempt to construct an alternate theme for these songs which is unsupported by the sources. As for the Green book, this is a professional work and so trumps anything which we amateurs might opine. This is the essence of the issue with OR - that we don't present our own ideas but present those of independent professionals. You don't get to pick and choose. Warden (talk) 23:47, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep. As a long distance cyclist, I find this list inspiring, and useful. It's nice to ride to bicycle songs. Sure, some of the songs' subject are not exclusively about cycling. Maybe there is a discussions to have about what songs are on the list. But the list itself merits inclusion. It reveals, joyfully, an important perspective on bicycle culture.

G5 (education)

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

dont feel this a serious grouping, is referenced extremely poorly, doesn't even highlightidea of reseach funding, and offers extremely little. Relies simply on a newspaper article back in 2004, we no evidence this grouping exists today, which remember was nothing to do with pure reputation, was about raising research funding at the time Edinburghgeog (talk) 00:39, 3 December 2011 (UTC) Note: The proposer is an indefinitely blocked sockpuppet of the also indefinitely blocked Edinburghgeo, and also has a likely conflict of interest due to a close connection with the University of Edinburgh and a perception on their part - in my view wholly unfounded, but they appear to see things rather differently - that the G5 grouping and the presence of an article about it in WP is somehow against the interests of the University of Edinburgh.Rangoon11 (talk) 23:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep - more than meets GNG as a result of third-party sourcing. The article could do with a bit of expansion but that is not a reason for deletion. It is worth noting that the proposer has been frantically trying to undermine the article through the deletion of citations - including through the use of sock puppets - and having not been satisfied with the outcome of that approach has come here. Rangoon11 (talk) 02:05, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Not true, even as regards the Times Higher Education - the THE article is very clear that the G5 is not an abstract concept invented by the THE, but an actual grouping which it is reporting on. Even the name 'G5' was not a creation of the THE. The THE was merely the first to report the existence of the grouping, which for obvious reasons wished to remain low-key and therefore did not telegraph its existence to the world.Rangoon11 (talk) 02:43, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

That is not significant coverage by itself and I can't find much else.The article is confusing and uninformative as to the size, location and activities of the organisation but from the organisation's web page it is clear that it is a small and local group of about 200 people operating in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, not a national or international programme of the worldwide Coptic Orthodox church.

Atomic Coffee Machine

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

Contributor 118.210.115.248 = The genericist = Jack Grieve who wrote the article, is using the already protected trademark "Atomic" (Trademark holder: ) in Australia for his coffee machines made in Taiwan. His application was refused: . This page is used as a matter of promotion and false claims as to the legal case and doesn't reflect the history of this coffee machine. The subject of the article seems to be wether or not one is allowed to manufacture these coffee machines nowadays and under which name they should be marketed. Page "Atomic_Coffee_Machine" also witnesses poor ratings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) 04:06, 30 October 2011‎— Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - none of your claims are valid reasons for deletion, except for the claim of promotion - and this Jack Grieve is not mentioned in the article, nor is any special mention of Australian brands. The article could use some better sourcing, but it's not overly promotional as you claim. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear MikeWazowski, maybe i souldn't have deleted the link to his webpage before asking for deletion. (see history) The Source of the pictures is clearly labeled as sorrentinacoffee.com (see here: ). The same picture will be found on his Flickr account: . Althought the name is not mentionned, the article clearly serves his purpose of promotion, Mr. Jack Grieve beeing the general manager of Sorrentinacoffee: . It is a clearly a breach of the Soapbox policy. The article has a very legal angle which hasn't got its place on Knowledge, and mainly present his personal views on the matter (Matter already discussed in a legal case in Australia see ipmonitor link above). Nitzkovic— Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

As the editor in question has not touched the article in six months (and for a year before that) and other editors have been free to edit and modify it in the time since, your argument about breaching the soapbox policy is invalid. I stand by my original comments. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

118.210.115.248 last contributed on the 12th of september 2011. To me, that's 48 days. His entry was a comment on a specific Blog (another breach of Knowledge POV policy) (see ). I am only stating the obvious. Nitzkovic — Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Of course, you have no proof of this - just baseless accusations from someone who appears (to me) to have their own conflict of interest in the matter. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Keep. I seriously question the motives of Nitzkovic, a single purpose editor who has only previously made edits to this single article and now wants to delete it. He claims that 118.210.115.248 is Jack Grieve, which goes against WP:OUTING, while offering no proof that this is the case. The nominator seems to have some kind of axe to grind and Knowledge is not the place for that. To me the subject of the article looks notable enough to be kept. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

No particular motive, no conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest look like this: See (with many Registered sign). I personnaly don't understand how this Atomic_coffee_machine article can be a valuable contribution to Knowledge. Read the text carefully. The purpose of the article seems to be that this machine can be manufacturered nowadays. (noone said the contrary). The rest of the article contains some rather personal views on the "generic" value of the word "Atomic" for these coffee machines. Where is the encyclopedic value of this article? Please explain to me why your argumentation is now concentrating on my motivation/interest? Seems to me that rather than discussing the matter, you would rather attack the person. And why is my point of view less valuable as a single purpose editor? Nitzkovic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Please tell me why the following phrases are relevant on an article about a coffee machine which production stopped in 1989: "These patents expired many decades ago and are now in the public domain." and "Given the high demand for Atomic coffee makers, and that the various patents expired many decades ago, it was only natural that someone should make reproductions based on those patents. Many people believe that such reproductions are 'fake','imitation' of 'knock off' products, however understandable such a view may be, it demonstrates a lack of understanding of intellectual property law as it is generally recognized internationally: once a patent has expired there is nothing morally or legally wrong in any party deciding to manufacture a product based on that patent. Indeed this is the social pay-off of the patent legislation. In return for a fixed period monopoly on their invention the inventor agrees to publish the details of the invention in the public domain. When the patent expires all are free to exploit it." To me, it is only relevant to the business who would like to manufacture them nowadays... the same business who wrote this article, and let his mark on the pictures.

Can someone explain me that phrase: "The Robbiati design and patent registrations cover the Atomic shape". It doesn't make sense at all. a) How can someone cover an atomic shape (atomic mushroom??? or a nucleus???)? b) The coffee machine doesn't look like a mushroom or an atom, does it?. Mr. Robbiati covered his improvements (patent). The rest is a trademark problematic (atomic name). If someone can explain how someone can cover an atomic shape in a patent, i would be very thankful.

Comment. This is a popular sports feature, well known to NFL fans in particular, and it appears regularly on national sports broadcasts and on ESPN radio, TV, and web. It has wide recognition in the sports blogosphere. On the other hand, as accurately noted by the nominator, it is not easy to find web coverage in reliable sources other than ESPN. Is the ESPN coverage sufficiently "independent"? I can see arguments both ways on that. If we are left with the conclusion that it's not worthy of its own article, I'd still think it would be appropriate to preserve some of this content by merge to a suitable location, maybe at Carl Brutananadilewski or one of the other Aqua Teen Hunger Force pages.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:30, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the article is not perfect, it is a very basic stub. I think we should base this decision though on its notability disregarding the actual article itself. Otherwise an article may be deleted not because the subject is non-notable, but because of its current state. I am not the most esperienced person in this field so I made a very basic stub instead of investing a lot of time into something I didn't understand. Despite the basic article, doing a quick serch guarantees this article notability. I just think it just needs some love and care from more experienced people. I think culling it now would be a shame.

Comment What I mean by 'at this point' is that currently, there are some reliable sources that use the term in passing, but I can't find a substantial number that DISCUSS the term, which is necessary for inclusion.

Whatever else we say I do not think we can regard this as a neologism when the earliest example we have seen is from the Harvard Crimson in 1971, and the slightly throw away use of it there suggests that it was not a new coining. That 1971 article contains a concise definition that demonstrates that it was being used in the same sense as in the WP article.

For the record, almost all the articles which were put up for deletion have all had a keep consensus, or are heading that way, so I know that on the whole the issue is not with my articles, but with rash nominations. It is not my fault that these AFD's might be a nuisance to you. It is because people make rash nominations that I have to contest because I know the notability of the articles. There is nothing wrong with creating stub articles. I am doing what was done by many many editors early in the game, its just that now, 5 years down the track, suddenly standards have shot up and there is no such concept as stub improvement anymore. It's all - what you put in the mainspace has to be perfect. Well it doesn't. It's all about growth. You do what you can, and then others come along and build upon what you've done. That's the spirit of Knowledge. I'm contributing to Knowledge as much as anyone else, in my own way. Many other editors make legions of stub articles, I don't know why these particular ones are being targeted.--Coin945 (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you on stubs being fine, no article needs to be perfect (ever, let alone after 1 hour). That IS the spirit! I think your stubs are being targeted not because they are stubs, but because they are *poor* stubs. Take a few minutes to format them, e.g. avoid bare URLs - as you did in theis discussion! - and the stubs will look much better. Use better sources than answers.com and the likes, because those are not reliable (sometimes they keep for years hoaxes that were here for a few days or even hours). If you can't find them, move on or search deeper. By doing that you'll spend more time writing good and needed stubs, instead of defending likely valid but very poor stubs. Make it look good. That is also the spirit, I'd say! - Nabla (talk) 15:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

There is intellectual Darwinism as a factor is selecting theories; there is some loosely related sentences about technology evolution; and there is intellectual Darwinism as survival / success of the smartest (richest) people. All in all, clearly "intellectual Darwinism" is a nice sounding catch phrase, and is used out there. But the current article completely fails to clearly tell us something about it. I bet we will have a good article about this some day, I am not so sure if this stub will help it to evolve in that direction, or if it will prevent it. - Nabla (talk) 13:58, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

It's a work in progress. My job during the major edits before was just to stuff info into the article. Now that we have good sources, we can refine the article, linking up sources relating to similar things and improving the article from there.

Jason Menard, in Intellectual Darwinism Doesn’t Always Cull Weak, says «While it would be nice to think that {...} intellectual Darwinism culls the weakest from the herd, the sad fact of the matter is that the rest of us often suffer the brunt of a bad decision made by someone else, out of our control.», Daniel Swanson, from The Harvard Crimson writes that, «There is an intellectual Darwinism among us that believes if only all that can be said or thought is permitted, right thinking will out and the best will come to the fore, But history has shown that there is an economics of ideas as surely as there is an economics of goods», Elaine Schattner, M.D. in Health Tips, News, Opinion, writes at On Media and Intellectual Darwinism in the Blogosphere, «There is value in blogging: Open coverage of news in all fields — including science and medical reports published in top-tier journals — by writers who may think “out of the box” promotes careful analysis from more varied perspectives, critical discussion of developments and, ultimately, progress.», Rocky Kolb,Edward W. Kolb, in Blind watchers of the sky, stated that «if one does adopt the viewpoint that modern natural philosophy is optimal, or near optimal,5 then within the framework of intellectual Darwinism the methods of modern science eventually would have been developed without Galileo.

Strong delete. Pointless trivia that sits at a level of immaturity, prevalent years ago, from which the site is rapidly evolving. The list is bound to be contentious in any case as nicknames constantly change. More seriously, I would point out potential WP:BLP consequences as it would be very easy to list a nickname that the target finds insulting. In fact, for that reason it should be a speedy delete. ----Jack | 12:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

It is easy to find coverage of such stuff in encyclopedia, e.g. "Alfred Mynn (1807-1861), nicknamed 'the lion of Kent' and Alfred the Great', was the most famous cricketer of the first half of the 19th century." (Encyclopedia of British Sport) Notice that Alfred Mynn and his nicknames are not in the list, even though he was an especially famous cricketer. This indicates that the list has not been done thoroughly and so has much scope for improvement per our editing policy. See also WP:UNENCYC: "Unencyclopedic" is an empty argument. Warden (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment. You may have a point re WP:UNENCYC as that tends to be subjective. But could you comment on WP:BLP which is implicit here as explained above? ----Jack | 20:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLP requires that content about living people should be reliably sourced, which most of this article's content appears to be. It doesn't mandate the removal of all content that subjects might find embarrassing. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:04, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Also, the nomination indicates that the nicknames are still expected to be found in the players' articles so I can't see that there's any special BLP problem with this list. The main problem I'm seeing is that of WP:RECENTISM. Where, for example, is W. G. Grace whose nicknames included, The Doctor, The Old Man and The Champion?

Keep but rewrite. The commission appears to be notable, in that it receives a fair amount of significant news coverage . However, this news coverage is not reflected in the current article. The current article is basically a bureaucratic screed about the agency and doesn't even say how it is funded or how the commissioners are chosen, much less describe the historic changes that have taken place according to the news articles from the 1980s and 1990s - such as the commission's expansion from the original five members to the current eleven. --MelanieN (talk) 22:44, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Keep I've expanded the article and added several new references. Disregard the press release linked above - it is not necessary to see that this topic is notable. I've corrected the dead external link. I am a bit mystified by Stuarteates comment about a "ten year old review". I assume the reference is to the 1991 review in Journal of the American Chemical Society, published over 20 years ago. This is a detailed, in-depth review of a chemical safety database which is used worldwide and developed using data from every relevant regulatory agency in every significant country. Please remember that notability is not temporary, and 20 year old coverage in a respected scientific journal founded in 1879 is just as useful for establishing notability as an article in the current issue.

Articles for deletion/Signature song

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

No reliable sources can be found that treat the subject itself in any detail. There is already an article titled song. Wiktionary has a definition for the adjective form of 'signature' on the off chance that a reader is unfamiliar with the word. This article is unnecessary for further clarification and only functions as a list of songs about which a reliable source has used the term 'signature'. If that's good enough for an article, why not create an article titled Great song wherein we list songs called 'great' by a reliable source? Most of the prose could be copied from this article with some minor tweaking. Why not Terrible song? Etc. At least One-hit wonder can be supported by chart positions...

Keep A quick search indicates that the concept is well-used in sources for particular artists, e.g. that My Way became Sinatra's signature song. There seem to be systematic studies too. For example, I find reference in a bibliography to Theme Songs of the Big Band Era which is "An alphabetical list of over 850 big band leaders and ensembles. Each entry includes the title of their theme or signature song(s)." Warden (talk) 10:34, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Any evidence that that book (or any of the systematic studies you may have found) treats the concept of a signature song in any detail, or is it just a list? Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 12:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Merge with song. A lot of the information in the article is either unnecessary, original research or unsourced. The main aspects of the article can be merged with the previously mentioned article (which, for the record, is shorter than this article). Till I Go Home (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

That would not be a good target because that's about vocal music and some signatures are just music. The essence of the topic is the association with particular artists not the style of the music. Theme music has something to say about this topic too but that is even more general and is more about the association with other media such as TV series. All of these articles are weak and require more development before we can say that one is dominant. Warden (talk) 10:44, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Keep. Etta James will whip the a-- of anyone who dares to try to take her signature song away from her. TVTropes recognizes it. See it "My Way", show some "Respect" and "Stand by Me", or else "Hit the Road Jack". Clarityfiend (talk) 04:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
- Addendum. The nominator even acknowledges it "functions as a list of songs about which a reliable source has used the term 'signature'". It's only a question of whether it should be a list or a full-blown article. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:50, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Rename to List of Signature Songs. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:44, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Delete - While there are numerous sources using the term, we do not have substantial coverage about the concept. As for the idea of a List of signature songs, we have a fundamental problem in that there are few examples that are universally (or nearly so) agreed upon. While most might agree that Tony Bennett is best known for leaving his heart in San Francisco, the overwhelming majority of cases are not so clear. Check a dozen sources for the Beatles or Rolling Stones and we'll have a dozen "one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established singer or band is most closely identified with or best known for". - SummerPhD (talk) 14:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. Seriously? Ask the average person about Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Ella Fitzgerald, Bruce Springsteen, etc., and 99% of the time, they will agree on the song.

I say Keep. Such a widely used concept must be analysed somewhere - it's just a case of digging. I did manage to find this strange mystical use of the phrase: "Within fifteen minutes you will probably have the essence of your own signature song, one known only to you and faery. Your signature song will identify you and help empower you when you go to faery to gather healing knowledge and...". Then there's this: A Guide to Famous Singers' Signature Song, Vol. 1 - seems like a pretty indepth analysis to me. What about "perennially savvy vaudevillean turns the cult formula, like the signature-song, inside-out" In "A guide to popular music reference books: an annotated bibliography", "Each entry includes the title of their theme or signature song(s)".

For what its worth, the book may have extra info as well that we can use.

Im not sure what else you could really write about such a topic. Perhaps history of the term?--Coin945 (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm certain the book has no original content. The whole idea of those publishers is to make a buck without doing any work. At any rate, no matter how much we may want to believe the "signature song" concept has been analyzed somewhere, no one has shown that it has. And one of the reasons for deletion reads: "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline". That describes this article, which fails WP:GNG because no reliable sources "address the subject directly in detail". Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 19:04, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Hold on a sec... so if that company published that book, can Knowledge be sued for having the exact same text as a copyrighted book, that it, isn't it COPYVIO? That would just be too twisted.....

Note Signature Tune is not strictly the same as a signature song, but it can be included in the same page.--Coin945 (talk) 02:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Note I know TV Tropes isn't notable but it's fun to read what they have to say anyway: . Also, what about these sources I have compiled:

The problem remains. Each of these mentions a song that the author believes is a particular artist's "signature song". However, this article is purportedly about the concept of a signature song. None of these discuss the concept in any meaningful way. This is the difference between Fruit and List of fruits. The first one (which this article would strive to mirror) gives various definitions of what a fruit is, a history of the various meanings, information on how fruits develop, info on the importance of fruits in human and animal diets, etc. The other lists fruits. Is an apple a fruit? Yes, it goes in the list article. Is "My Way" Frank Sinatra's signature song? No, it's "Young at Heart". No, it's "All the Way". No, it's "It Was a Very Good Year". No, it's "Strangers in the Night". No, it's "New York, New York". Etc. You might as well have a List of the Most Bestest Superheroes Eva. Can we find sources saying this, that or the other song is Sinatra's signature song? Sure. We can also find reliable sources saying Wonder Woman is the best superhero ever. This does not mean we should list either or start an article about The most kick-ass women in fiction. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Actually, that first link is exactly why this page is not necessary. We are familiar with the "signature" concept, so there's no need for further elaboration of song in a separate article. It's the same reason we don't have pages for 24kt gold, Northern Hemisphere country, and silver automobile. (Sorry for disregarding WP:BEANS.) Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 04:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

On the contrary, I would have thought that all those references to how important signature songs can be: 2 says that his sigsong became the sigsong of his state - it became that important, 3 says sigsongs are important anthems, 4 says that they become standards, 5 seems to establish the age of the term (reference to Vic era), 6 equates sig song to most loved song, 7 sig song = song they sing the most, 8 sig song had "a deeply resonant reflection on American history", so on and so forth. Also, with the case of knowing exactly what someone's signature song is, well this isn't some arbitrary decision. Various sources write about artist's sig songs. We record verafiable sources. IF that means saying: NYT said Michael Jackson's song is Thriller, while The Rolling Stones says that it is Bad etc... no problem there...--Coin945 (talk) 08:58, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

You're extending those conclusions to all "signature songs", which from quick scans of the text is quite obviously unwarranted. Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 13:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

I am saying that these can be cited as examples of the importance of sig songs, in that they ARE "yadda yadda yadda", and ARE able to cause "yadda yadda yadda", and are still cherished "yada yadda yadda" years after __. I will put that info into the article under "Importance" when I get have free time.--Coin945 (talk) 01:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep Well understood concept. Fully referenced. Not sure what the problem is... The Steve 12:39, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

The problem is simply that no discussion of the concept can be found, which means it fails WP:GNG. Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 13:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Knowledge is a work in progress. Yes, the concept may not be entirely verefiable, but certain bits are, like those given in the sources above. For such a widely used term, it is utterly ridiculous for it to be deleted. This article, I imagine would be great use to many people and as long as it gives correct info, it isn't doing any harm. I say leave the poor article alone. If in the future, we can find better osurces, awesome, but theres no point in getting rid of valuable work that is interesting and important to many readers of Knowledge.--Coin945 (talk) 21:49, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, Knowledge is a work in progress. Yes, we have numerous examples of someone calling a song a "signature song". However, we do not have any reliable sources discussing this vague, though common, term. We can certainly find sources calling various people a "Pain in the ass" or various days the "Best day ever", but those uses are also not discussed in reliable sources. Heck, we could start an article Tall buildings and list every building any reliable source has ever called "tall". However, we've generally agreed not to do that because the resulting "articles" (if you can call them that) are worthless collections of random mentions of a vague concept. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Verifiable "mentions of a vague concept" are perfectly acceptable in an encyclopedia. Listing many songs that could possibly be Frank Sinatra's signature song is unencyclopedic, I grant you, but if we collect sources like: "New York Times described Moon River as Frank Sinatra's signature song, and it became his most cherished song", or "Mary Belipop writes in her book "Made It Up For Argument's Sake" that Frank Sinatra's hit "Come Fly With Me" became a standard in all his concerts following its initial recording in 1957, and has since become his signature song" --> we can then say: NYT argues ______, while Mary Belipop suggests ______. Nothing wrong there. (P.S two of those articles you suggested are actually blue-linked :P)--Coin945 (talk) 00:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

(Check out the blue links and keep your tongue in your mouth...) "Pain in the ass", then, awaits your attention. "New York Times described John Doe as a pain in the ass and he continues to annoy people today", or "Jane Smith writes in her book "Made It Up For Argument's Sake" that John Doe became a standard pain in the ass following his first letter to the Times, and he has since become a bigger pain in the ass" --> we can then say: NYT argues ______, while Mary Belipop suggests ______. Nothing wrong there? Something very wrong there: There are no reliable sources discussing the concept of a "signature song" which is supposedly the topic of this article. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:39, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't accept your analogy as being valid. In my example, the two sources gave example of why sig songs are important, what their legacy can be, why they are so much more significant that their other songs etc. - important information. In your example, your quote do not establish any sort of importance with the phrase (or even the concept) of being a "pain in the ass". Rather, they just give examples of people who are. Well.... the first quote could be used to help define the term as it establishes that being a pain in the ass = annoying people, but I see no merit in your second sentence. It doesn't explain at all why the concept of being a pain in the ass in important, what it's definition is etc. All you could really say with that in the Knowledge article is that "In some cases, this quality of being a pain in the ass can worsen over time etc." - in that respect, the info possibly has some merit. (P.S in case you didn't realise, what I said before was a joke. I know neither of those two actually link to the concepts you were referring to! :D--Coin945 (talk) 04:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

The concept is certainly discussed - here and here, for instance. However, I didn't have time to check the 20000 results for signature song in Google books alone. Also here and here - sources used for Cancion insignia The Steve 07:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou The Steve! While the other sources you provided were fleeting references, the final source you gave is exactly what we've been looking for. It establishes both how the concept of sig songs were created and also why they are so important to the music industry. I can't be bothered to type the whole thing here, but read pg. 157 at this page.

Also here , perhaps here , here , here , here , here , this is great: , here , here , and here .

Please just take away this ridiculous AfD notice, and give us a chance to actually work on the article instead of wasting all this time talking about it. All this yapping isn't helping Knowledge one bit. We've given you all the sources you need, we've done the hard part, now all we have to is stuff the info into the article. Hey presto, everyone's happy. This AfD is starting to grow tiresome.......--Coin945 (talk) 11:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Every one of the mentions you and The Steve have found is fleeting. Every one of them. Two Hearted River (paddle / fish) 11:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

You're right, they are fleeting, but so what? Are you seriously telling me that 14 cites in reliable sources about the concept/definition and 20,000 examples in books isn't good enough for wikipedia?! That doesn't seem like a good reason to delete to me... The Steve 02:36, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Strong keep. If an idea as old and well-known as this one is not well-documented, then WP ought to pick up the ball and fix that. Sig-songs are common currency in identifying artists whose names may be under-familiar, but whose memorable performances made the song 'theirs'. "Peggy Lee?" "Sang Fever". "Oh yeah." There are countless examples.
Honestly, though I don't have time to prove it, I find it hard to believe that that sig-songs haven't discussed many times by pop music experts. But if that's not the case, it's great that WP now-and-then need to blaze trails. In fact that's one of the things that makes WP uniquely valuable for many people ill-served by previous, more formal and/or space-limited so-called 'references'. Articles like this serve the very people underserved by the less egalitarian tomes of yesteryear.
I also disagree with the idea of integrating it with "theme song" ... while there may be some parallels, they're two quite different ideas. Twang (talk) 08:35, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
P.S. On a quick Google Books for "encyclopedia "signature song" I got 224 finds... proof enough that the concept is in widespread use. Will it take work to document it in each case? - sure. Is there some rush? Twang (talk) 08:56, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

If the idea "is not well-documented" Knowledge should not have an article on it. That's how Knowledge works. Yeah, I'm sure searching for "signature song" on Google turned up a lot of hits. Google books turns up 179,000 hits for "pain in the ass". "Ugly sweater" turns up 688. Bottom line, Knowledge does not "blaze trails". - SummerPhD (talk) 22:20, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I do agree that the article's current state is poor, and that issues have not been addressed... but notability is found in a topic having coverage, and not in the article itself.

Neil Chriss

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

Nominating on behalf of unregistered User:207.38.212.61, whose rationale I will paste below. I contested WP:PROD deletion on the basis that this wasn't clear-cut enough to delete without discussion, and am neutral until I have looked into this further. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:19, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

This page exists for the purpose of self-promotion and was most likely written by Neil.

The first two sections, "Early Career" and "Academia", are simply pulled from "How I Became A Quant." Conveniently, Neil wrote his chapter in How I Became A Quant. Every chapter in that book is a first person narrative, written by the subject. The statements could be true, but they are directly from the mouth of the author, and therefore biased and unsubstantiated.

The section on Wall Street is primarily a sequence of name dropping. Unsubstantiated statements include

The Risk Magazine named Chriss one of the "Top Ten to Watch in the next Ten Years" in 1997.
One person in particular was Peter Muller who inspired Chriss to pursue quantitative trading.
He joined the group after Cliff Asness, John Liew and Bob Krail left to form AQR Capital Management.
Ray Iwanowski and Mark Carhart became heads of the group and recruited Neil Chriss.
Chriss departed Goldman and the trader game in 2000 to start a brokerage business.

The section on Mathematical Finance education lacks any citations.

The section on "Hedge funds" lacks citation. Most glaringly:

The details of his time at SAC are not well known. Chriss resigned from the firm in early 2007.

Neil is no more notable than any other person with a PhD who has gone on to work in finance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.212.61 (talk) 01:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if the only available sources are in Spanish. WP:PEOPLE states that to be notable, a person must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". This person is significant enough. From what I've just learnt he's one of the top entrepreneurs in the history of Mexico. Here's an article about him in Spanish: ... and that book in Spanish is a biography. That's coverage.

It is one of the top 500 lawfirms in the world, and a leading one in Israel.

WP:GNG defines the bar as "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article" and Levitan, Sharon & Co. don't seem to have that, it is nothing to do with size, number of offices, staff numbers or place on a ranking list.

This is a totally non-notable organisation, and the article does not attempt to demonstrate any notability.

The only Google hits are to its own website, and to comments in right-wing or anti-fascist blogs. I could find no Google Books or Google News references. After I prodded the article, an editor inserted a citation from a local newspaper which makes a passing reference to the organisation, but this still does not establish, nor even assert, notability.
