Article does not meet WP:CRIMINAL standards for biographies. Devino was obscure criminal who did not do anything notable and was only known for being killed. Rogermx (talk) 22:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. I can't find precedent either way on whether or not being a "made man" is a worthwhile claim to notability. I feel like since Devino was made, which makes him a very rare, powerful criminal, and because his murder is one of the most well-known Mafia murders (thanks to the book and movie), he should stay. I can't find a list of minor Mafiosi, but if there is one (like this, only nonfiction), I would probably change to redirect and merge to an entry for Devino there. CityOfSilver 23:27, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep There's prolific coverage of this subject in RS, as usual. But the article also describes continued attention decades later, inclusion in a high-profile, notable film, and so on. The cultural impact of this event makes it anything but routine. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I found some coverage searching for "Billy Batts" on Gbooks, this might be enough to keep it:. I would argue that he is notable for his career as a criminal and for his depiction in a prominent movie. Also, if this is kept the title should probably be changed per the WP:COMMONNAME guideline. Mark Arsten (talk) 11:58, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • All the sources that I see on Devino talk about his murder. Yes, he inspired a memorable fictional character in a popular book and film, but I don't think that makes him notable according to the Knowledge standard.Rogermx (talk) 16:29, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, but editors' personal tastes and preferences do not establish notability, or lack thereof. Reliable sources do that for us. The fact that RS paid significant attention to Devino for decades after his death shows notability, irrespective of the nature of the coverage. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 02:16, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Then let's move the article to Murder of William Devino and call it a day, unless you believe that an event with decades of coverage in RS is routine news reporting :) The article section to which you linked specifically excludes any information about cultural impact. Deleting this article, thereby preventing any merger since the authorship of the merged content needs to be described, is highly inadvisable. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 18:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
*I agree with Alessandra's suggestion. I appreciate everyone's input on this, it is not a black and white caseRogermx (talk) 19:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. There is obviously not enough here to stand on its own as an article, and amazingly, some of what is here is wrong -- specifically, this was an Australian publication, not a British one. Generally, I'd prefer a merge/redirect result here over deletion, but none of the articles that would serve as upmerge targets exist. It's unlkely that the comic itself (variously titled The Invisible Avenger and Invisible Avenger Comics) would support an article either, although its publication is involved in a fairly complicated bit of Australian comics history. Despite ostensibly being printed by Jayar Studios and/or Illustrated Publications, this was very likely the work of publisher/printing company Ayers & James (best known in the field for the Australian reprints of Classics Illustrated) via its probable shell subsidiary Magazine Management (note that this is very much not the Magazine Management of Marvel Comics history). There's probably an article to be had in there, somewhere, but it's not here right now. And it's not this stublet about Cometman, regardless. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

The Hanna family (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is about a family who were newsworthy only for a single event in their lives - their deaths at the hands of the IRA due to their being mistaken for the actual target. This occurred by chance rather than due to who they were. As such it fails WP:1E. Additionally, the article reads like a memorial or obituary of these people, which fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL. The bombing itself may be independently notable, however such an article would have a completely different content and title. The encyclopedic information in this article is already recorded at Chronology of Provisional Irish Republican Army actions (1980-1989). To the best of my knowledge, the title "The Hanna family" is no more associated with this bombing than with any other event involving a family with the surname "Hanna". Thus the title and content of this article are not useful and should be deleted, without prejudice for the creation of an article on this bombing with an appropriate title and content, assuming it can be demonstrated to be independently notable. MegaSloth (talk) 21:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

non notable company. This article was created before (along with articles about lots of the people they manage) and deleted. At the time the creator's name was P1Management or somethign like that. As all of the articles were just recreated by a single user, in a very short timeframe, I think it is likely a COI sock as well. (legit sock, since the original account was banned for username vio. But still a COI)

Borderline csd, but I thought I would give the benefit of the consensus, and get something more binding.

All of the artists are non notable imo. Some of them do have a couple of refs, but they are largely in passing, talking about other people.

There may be more, these are just the ones I grabbed and investigated off of the user's contribs. Gaijin42 (talk) 21:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete - This individual appears to have previously been covered at Frank White (Hip-Hop Artist), which was deleted under A7 on 2011-08-09. An archived version still exists here. Though the subject clearly fails to exhibit sufficient notability for inclusion, it's interesting to note that the material was written to a quite impressively encyclopedic standard as compared with most unsourced biographical articles we see around here.   — C M B J   03:29, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sorry to say, but I don't see evidence that Mr. White is notable at present. If there are sources that say otherwise, now's the time to bring them forward. Usual Caveats apply, of course; a hit single or album may render the subject notable, and thus an article in the future may be appropriate. Not now, though.

I have been unable to locate significant independent reliable source coverage to establish notability for this individual. There is a notability claim in the article which was cited to a source that did not support the claim. I couldn't find any mention of that in a reliable source to back the claim and have placed a fact tag on it.

Composer who does not appear to meet WP:Notability (music). Existence of works can be verified, but there is no indication that the artist has contributed to a notable recording or works, is signed to a major label or prominent indie label or charted in national charts or received significant awards, that the individual or his works have received third-party coverage in WP:RS to warrant an article; most seem to be reprints of his own website. Artist's only prominence is as an indie artist on MySpace, which does not constitute notability. He has a history of participating in two music competitions but it has not been established why these projects are themselves notable. Article also appears to be largely based on artist's site; only sources provided are from blogs and portals.GreekStar12 (talk) 06:05, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Article recently (cross-wiki) created by what appear a group of COI editors, using redirect sites to avoid tripping blacklisted .com. The base of this article is totally referenced to primary sources. There is some mention of the site in some other sources, but that relates to 'bet-at-home.com sponsored this event'. Seems a big organisation, but lets discuss whether this is indeed notable enough for an own article. 11:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC) Dirk Beetstra

It was the aim to write an article which confirms with all the guidelines of Knowledge and don’t has any extenuations in it. Due to this I wrote the article together with an adopter of the English Knowledge. The adopter checked the article I’ve prepared on the sandbox. I am willing to change the article to avoid the deletion.--Bah2011 (talk) 13:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

It would be good if you could dig up a good number of independent references. The first non-subject related reference is currently #12 (), which is a correct reference for the statement, but I don't feel that those (or subsequent similar references) give too much proof of notability for the company. --Dirk Beetstra 13:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

This page has been highly subject to COI violating edits by editors proven to be socks of each other and one account that has been blocked for possibly being paid to edit Knowledge on the behalf of the organization. A large portion of this article is relying on passing mentions of the foundation on various Japanese news agencies and most of its daughter articles are all sourced to Discogs and primary sources. There is no coverage of this organization in the Japanese language as far as I can tell. I have used the name "タイラー基金" (which appears on the Japanese version of their website) and used the names of several major Japanese newspapers and have found nothing.

      • In the past we've always accepted articles on minor league teams as having legitimacy.. I would hate to think that this is going to lead a wave of delitionists trying to get rid of those articles. In any event, sources should exist on this team.. though they may be off-line sources being that the team last played in the 1920s... so it may be difficult to obtain them promptly. Spanneraol (talk) 01:47, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
        • The fact that they only played one season way back in 1908 and they were a minor league league team swayed me to nominate. Offline sources are fine if they can be identified and more than trivial mention. No prejudice to re-create later either.—Bagumba (talk) 03:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Plus there are no references given in the article to prove any of this. Something is not notable just because someone says it fits notability guidelines, there actually has to be proof that it does, by way of reliable sources. The only reference currently cited is a list of Paris, Illinois Minor Leagues, which gives no information about the Paris Parisians other than their name and it specifically states that the list may be inaccurate. MsBatfish (talk) 03:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't think they're a notable team, but they certainly did exist. I do have proof that the Parisians existed, per a reference in The Sporting News's paid subscription-based archives from 1908. It is hard as hell to find references that far back, especially with TSN paper scans being really faded up until a certain point in the 1920s. The search engine managed to find a few references showing that they at least played two seasons in the league, per standings posted on July 4, 1907 and other dates through sometime in 1908. From what I gather, they turned down an offer to join the league, but midway through the season they joined up anyway and started playing games. Oh well, I'm not voting, but the team isn't a hoax. You can always just assume I'm a liar even though I spent practically 15 minutes going through like 50 sources that remotely had words that might look similar to Illinois or Paris according to TSN's search engine on garbled scans. Agent Vodello 18:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't think anyone's claiming that the Parisians are a hoax, let alone assuming you are lying :-) I think the issue isn't whether or not they exist, but whether or not they are notable enough for an article.

  • Delete as failing WP:ORG. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. The link in the article to baseball-reference.com verifies that this was a professional baseball team that belonged to what was then known as the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (and is now known as the Minor League Baseball). All teams in these leagues received significant coverage in the annual Spalding and Reach Guides. (Examples of the Spalding Guides are available on-line at the Library of Congress . Though their collection doesn't cover the 1908 baseball season, I've viewed the Guides for those years on microfilm. According to WP:N, "Sources are not required to be available online.") I think there's also a strong presumption that local newspapers also covered the team; when I've researched other minor league teams from that era, I've never run across one that wasn't covered by local newspapers. Although sources may not be available online, I'm fairly certain that they could be found at a good research library. (I'm not able to get to a good library this week to look up the specific references.) BRMo (talk) 04:51, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
  • I can confirm that during the period that this team was in existence, Paris, Illinois had a daily newspaper, which is available on microfilm. The newspaper almost surely provides significant coverage of the team. Next time I get to the library, I will try reviewing the newspaper. BRMo (talk) 06:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well it looks like this discussion has prompted some people to do some research on this team and hopefully there will soon be enough reliable sources referenced in the article.

The two subjects should be disambiguated into separate articles (if notable), unless it can be shown they are the same franchise. By analogy, we wouldn't combine all John Doe's in the world to create a super article about independent non-notable subjects that share the same name.

For example, reliable sources that support what is said in the article, proof of notability, quote Knowledge policy, and so on. Merely saying "professional baseball team" doesn't tell us anything or even prove that that is true. (You can click on the words in blue for more details).

  • Thank you for making an effort to add references to the article. It's great to know there's a free viable search engine for baseball players and teams from 1885 to 1920. This will definitely help my search in finding references for future AFDs on players from this era. However, the references added were either WP:ROUTINE, or one sentence passing mentions. I do not think this is enough to pass all the guidelines the delete votes above have cited this article is accused of failing. I still don't have a vote for this, but hopefully this search engine can help avoid bringing notable subjects to AFD in the future. Agent Vodello 00:59, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Alex, please refrain from changing your comments after people have already replied to them.
As for the current references in the article:
1.Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball: Second Edition - I don't have access to this one so I'm not sure what exactly it says
2. "A League Expands". Sporting Life. - All it says is "the other members of the league were... Paris..."; presumably referring to the town Paris, but doesn't call them "the Parisians" or provide information about the team.
3. "A Year's Work". Sporting Life. - This says "Illinois League... Paris played..." (as above)
4. "Cantillon's Acquisition". Sporting Life. - Says there was a "Paris Illinois team", doesn't specify Parisians.
5. BR Minors - this one does say "1908-Eastern Illinois League-Paris Parisians" but gives no other information and says that it may not be accurate.
6. "Chronology" - This says, "1924.. the Paris Parisians... take second-half honors." Don't think that's even the same team and it's only a passing mention.
7. "Major League Alumni" - Doesn't say anything about either team.
I'm sorry, but I just don't think any of these meet WP:Notability guidelines. (See also the guidelines cited by Bagumba above). They are not "significant coverage" in "reliable independent sources". In fact, I don't think that some of them even meet criteria for inclusion in an article. Unless the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball is a way better source with much more information than any of these others, which I doubt, I still say Delete. MsBatfish (talk) 21:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'll note that prior to the 1920s, references to baseball teams in the press usually did not include a reference to the nickname or mascot. So the failure of sources from that era to call them the "Parisians" is not surprising; even for major league teams, articles of that era would typically refer to them just by the name of the city (or the city and league, if there were teams from two leagues playing in the city). While I agree that the references available online don't provide significant coverage (though I argue above that there are other sources available in libraries that can estalish notability), the absence of the nickname "Parisians" is not relevant to the question of notability. BRMo (talk) 06:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Well, I think it might be in this case, since all the sources are such minor passing mentions, (which in itself means they don't meet the notability guideline), I don't know whether we can even be certain they are talking about the Parisians. I don't know a whole lot about baseball, but are we to assume that any mere mention of the existence of a team called "Paris" is enough to be certain they are talking about the Parisians? Only one source says there even was a team called the Paris Parisians and doesn't give any other information than the home state and one year 1908. (I assume the 1924 team is a different team, and the Paris Parisians article says that it is). If you want to look for better sources at the library then that's great. As I said, I will easily change my "delete" to a "support" when there are some sources that meet notability :-) MsBatfish (talk) 11:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
It seems as if one of the arguments against this article is that the team played only one year in a relatively unknown league. However, a club of the same name did play in the KITTY league in 1923-1924. The KITTY League was not an unknown, obscure league - rather, it existed on-and-off from 1903 to 1955, a span of over 50 years. Sufficient detail has been added to the article concerning the 1923-1924 squad to make the article notable, as well as other information gleaned about the 1908 squad.
It also seems rather...unfair...to apply "modern" keep/deletion criteria to extremely old subjects, because old subjects are less likely to have the same prolific number of news articles on the Internet as modern subjects. Just because the 110-year-old subject does not have news articles on the 'net does not mean articles do not exist - it is just difficult to track them down. How many of us have Sporting Lifes from 1908 laying around? It seems wise to err towards thinking the articles do exist (and therefore the article should be kept), they just need to be found elsewhere.
Remember that almost every single modern newspaper, big and small, is on the Internet, delivering millions and millions of potential sources for any modern subject imaginable. It's safe to say most older newspapers and other sources are not on the Internet, drastically limiting the number of those readily accessible, with many of the most desirable ones (like Sporting News) costing more than anyone seems willing to pay to access.
It just seems iffy that we have minor league baseball player articles (that otherwise would likely not be notable had the subject played in the 1950s) who, due to the subject playing in the Internet age, have sufficient coverage that would be "kept," while an entire, fully professional team that did not have the benefit of playing during the Internet age (and therefore does not have as easily accessible sources) is being considered for and may be on the verge of deletion.

  • Keep - primarily per BRMo regarding off line sources for the Eastern Illinois team and if anything, the KITTY league team is even more notable. However, I do think this title should be disambiguated to cover each team separately. Rlendog (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - If the 1908 Paris Parisians were the same franchise as the 1907 Paris Colts (which is strongly implied by the "A League Expands" reference in the article, which does not list Paris as an expansion franchise and consistent with the tendency 100 years ago for even major league teams to change nicknames much more frequently than today), then this book has significant coverage as well. Rlendog (talk) 19:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
    • Comment The articles notability is being further masked adding sources for for any team from a city named Paris in either Illinois or Kentucky. Until its determined that the Colts are related to the Parisians, it might be more appropriate to place text regarding history of teams in Paris, Illinois such as the Colts into the Paris, Illinois article.—Bagumba (talk) 20:28, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
      • A newspaper article already referenced states that before the 1908 season. 2 teams were added to the Eastern Illinois League. It also says that "the other members of the league are Mattoon, Charleston, Paris (emphasis added), Pana, Shelbyville and Taylorville." There was only one Paris team in the Eastern Illinois League in 1907, which was then nicknamed the Colts. So while I concede that there is a slim possibility that the new Paris Colts team folded sometime between the end of the 1907 season and February 1908, a new Paris team was founded in the interim, and this newspaper article chose to ignore the new Paris team when describing the new Eastern Illinois League for 1908, that seems like grasping at straws. And even if that was the case, the establishment of a Paris franchise in the Eastern Illinois League during the prior season would still be highly relevant to the 1908 "new" Paris franchise. Rlendog (talk) 20:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
        • Agreed the Colts are worth a mention in this article, but not three sentences on the Colts history. This is a Parisians article. I propose the details be merged into Paris, Illinois or spun out to a standalone article if notable. While I agree with the induction you are using about possible relationship between Colts and Parisians, reading between the lines is not suitable for inclusion in WP.—Bagumba (talk) 21:13, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
          • I don't know. At worst there is 2 sentences worth of material on a related team, that readers who come to the (Illinois) "Paris Parisians" article would likely be interested in. At best, and in the most likely scenario, the information in those 2 sentences is highly relevant to the Parisians. I am not sure how easy it will be to definitively resolve the relationship between the 1907 Colts and 1908 Parisians. Teams changing nicknames was pretty common in that era (see the Dodgers, Braves and Indians) and it was not uncommon for multiple names to be used, so even an official name change may not have attracted much attention. Maybe those looking into the microfiche will find something to definitively connect or disconnect the Colts and Parisians. In light of the possible ambiguity, however, it may make sense to change the name of the article to "Paris (Eastern Illinois League)" rather than using a specific team nickname (of course "Paris Colts" and "Paris Parisians (Eastern Illinois League)," or whatever names are used, would redirect there). And then there would be no problem with treating the Colts and Parisians in the same article. It would not be our typical way of handling team nicknames, since we would normally use the most recent nickname used by the franchise, but if we are not comfortable with the ambiguity over whether these teams actually represent the same franchise, that seems like an appropriate solution. Rlendog (talk) 01:18, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep If it was a professional baseball team at any time, then it would've gotten coverage in the newspapers of its area as well as the communities it played its away games at, plus elsewhere. Dream Focus 21:15, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - Since when does anything get automatic notability status solely for existing? We still need reliable sources that are referenced in the article which contain significant coverage of the topic by name. It is not enough to say such sources probably exist somewhere, or that it's unfair to apply notability policy to things that existed a long time ago. Off-line sources are acceptable, they just have to provide significant coverage of the specific topic. How long do people want in order to find and reference such sources? I agree with Bagumba, we need a deadline. MsBatfish (talk) 01:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • There is no deadline on Knowledge, but in that same breath I don't think this article has much, if any potential for a team that lasted roughly one and a half seasons, regardless of what era the team played. Sources were found in The Sporting News and Sporting Life, but they were all either passing mentions or routine standings updates. I'm still not voting to delete since I don't want to green light the deletion of all minor league teams from that era, but it's a hard sell to say that because this team exists, it's automatically notable despite a ton of guidelines saying otherwise. Agent Vodello 01:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Every article proposed for deletion is discussed on its own merits and deleting this article would not "green light" deletion of all minor league teams from that era. It would also not prevent anyone from making an article on the Paris Parisians if and when substantial/significant information on them is found in reliable sources. I don't think that WP:There is no deadline (which is also an essay and not a policy) really applies here. We have timeframes set for the close of discussions all the time. What they're talking about in that essay is that articles are always a work in progress and generally don't have to be "perfect" by a certain date, and that Knowledge will never be "finished". They are just trying to explain how it is different from a print encyclopedia or a magazine. It does not mean deletion discussions should go on endlessly. If you dislike the use of the word "deadline" I can explain it another way: it would be ideal if we could agree to postpone deletion for a reasonable amount of time in order to give people who want to do so time to look for sources that prove notability, but not indefinitely, and agree that if no sources can be found within a reasonable amount of time (which we should be a set amount of time, as "reasonable" is subjective) then the article should be deleted. Is that clearer? MsBatfish (talk) 05:17, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Putting aside the fact that per WP:N "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation," and the fact that virtually everything in the article is cited, the Rube Foster book at least provides substantial coverage of the 1907 Paris Eastern Illinois League team. Plus it refers to substantial coverage in Paris' Daily Beacon, e.g., (one example of many) "A lengthy piece in the Daily Beacon announced the city's acceptance into the Eastern Illinois League, a Class-D association." So even if you believe that somehow the 1907 Paris Colts and 1908 Paris Parisians of the Eastern Illinois League were different franchises and that the Sporting Life piece referenced in the article about the league's expansion in 1908 neglected to mention that fact, at most we should be discussing renaming at this point (if no further coverage of the 1908 Parisians exists), not deletion. Rlendog (talk) 15:19, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Withdraw nomination I was able to find a source that definitively says the Colts were definitively renamed to the Parisians: Peter Filichia (1993). Professional baseball franchises: from the Abbeville Athletics to the Zanesville Indians. p. 173. ISBN 9780816026470. The AfD discussion was good to spur the identification of sources for what was far from an WP:IDEALSTUB, even if it became littered with trivial references that did not establish notability. Based on the non-routine sources found to-date, the fact the franchise existed for at least three seasons (one in Centralia, two in Paris) makes it likely that more non-routine sources exist offline. No prejudice to delete if those sources do not materialize in the article (six months enough time?) or at least on the talk page. For those with more expertise than I who believe that all professional baseball teams are notable, I invite them to add it to an SNG. Otherwise, WP:GNG and WP:ORG will continue to be the requirement for teams.—Bagumba (talk) 17:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

This topic does not seem to meet WP:N separate from welding. Zero RSs show this as a unique, defined (other than here) subject of coverage as defined here. It seems inevitably a WP:SYNTH/WP:OR problem. The current article is the result of a move from Signature image processing which at the time was seemingly being used to highlight the work of one associate professor (whose photo remains in the article). As a result of this discussion and this one, the article was moved. I think the second discussion indicates how this new article title and focus is the result of OR.

  • Speedy Keep (changed 12/9/11 from "Keep") The nominator exhibits obsessive battling behavior against me (much via mis-using policies) and follows me around, ramping it up whenever there is a dispute at a different article. IMO their participation at this article (where I have been doing rescue type work) is a result of that. Please see talk page history of the article for the history at this one. Briefly summarizing, it began when I brought up the idea of deleting the predecessor article. My concern was that that it was overly narrow and focused on one company's particular method of doing weld monitoring and testing, and that the generic-technical-sounding title was not such. Other editors disagreed, saying that it was a heavily sourced article on a legit topic. During ensuing conversations, it became clear that none of the editors had a coi. Over the months it was decided to redirect/expand this article into a broader, uncovered topic which is Weld monitoring, testing and analysis where the the subject of the previous article became merely a section in the new article. I sort of "warned" ahead of time that the other sections would temporarily be stubs, hopefully temporarily as other editors built it over time. I researched other articles, especially the Welding article to make sure that this topic was uncovered. Also it was clear that real coverage of Signature image processing at Welding which is a top level article on a even much broader topic would be ungainly/undue. Recently I rechecked with the 3 other editors (also see their talk pages on this)....100% agreed and I made the move. As anticipated the new sections were stubs. I posted a note at the talk page of the Welding (which, structurally, this is basically a sub-article of) article about this article and solicited editors. It has EXTENSIVE coverage in sources; a very huge technical area that is not covered in Knowledge. I did some work on intro sentences on the other technologies and somewhat pared back the Signature image processing section. The nature of the material in there (description of awards won, listing of who uses it etc.) makes it still appear promotional at first glance, but I am unable to find anything to cut out that is not useful information. I was focused on text and I hadn't thought about the photo of the inventor until now; IMO it's a good idea to take it out and I just did so. I was planning to / offered to write a better technical explanation of the technology if a previous editor (tony1) would provide with some technical papers he has on this, but (see recent talk at their page) they no longer have those papers. I was planning to leave this article, the first phase of the rescue completed, as the topic is not of particular interest to me when Novasemianry assaulted it IMO as a result of disputes that I'm having with them elsewhere. First they PROD'ed it; when I removed the PROD they tag-bombed it, including an overall notability tag. I decided to stay a bit longer at the article to bolster it against Novaseminary's assault by adding some sourced material and sources to a few of the stub sections. It was immensely easy to find sources because there are an immense amount of sources on this. I just removed the notability tag; and (IMO, from hundreds of observations of their behavior over approx 2 years) as a result Novasemianry nominated it for deletion in retaliation/reaction. North8000 (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Personal attacks aside, what RSs establish that this formulation of the article subject is notable? I don't doubt that some of this could go in other articles, by why is the subject as you formulated it notable rather than WP:SYNTH? why not request it be userfied so you can have a chance to add sources that show this is a discrete subject that meets N? Novaseminary (talk) 14:41, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Those aren't personal attacks, they are comments on your behavior based on extensive knowledge. And you are again mis-quoting rules to do further battling behavior. (Weld) wonitoring, testing and analysis are very closely related and substantially overlapping topics. Trying to imply that putting those words into the title is a synthesis violation, or saying that wp:notability sourcing has to be for that particular word combination of the title are both ridiculous; such rules do not exist. And no, I do not want to userfy it; per the above I have no particular interest in this topic, I was just helping with an article rescue and I would have left the article already had you not assaulted it. North8000 (talk) 15:12, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Ok. It is the scope of the article that concerns me. How did you settle on these three particular aspects (monitoring, testing, and analysis)? Do the reliable sources treat these together as a distinct subject? As two or three distict subjects? Maybe it needs to be multiple articles. There just doesn't seem to be anything there to support this breakdown. I could write a well-sourced article about three singers, and title the article ”Singers A, B, C”. Assuming they each already have (or could have) their own articles, the subject of my combination would fail N and be SYNTH. Unless, of course, the RSs treat the particular subject as a topic itself (a la Delta blues, for example). We don't decide what particular combinations of subjects should be notable. We report on those that the RSs already cover as such. Novaseminary (talk) 20:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Based on my hundreds of interactions with you over ~2 years, I consider this to be just more obsessive battling tactics, but I will answer it as if it were sincere. The logic of the choice is again that they are three closely related and often-overlapping topics, with just the right scope combined for an article, and which included the absorbed article which is clearly monitoring. The process was that I floated the idea for three months at the talk page (August 26th through November 22nd) with no objections or alternate suggestions. And before doing it, besides putting the "ready to roll" question on the talk page, I also wrote the three other editors at their talk pages and got their explicit agreement before proceeding. North8000 (talk) 21:29, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • The process you went through is not terribly relevant for the discussion here. Do you have any RSs that treat these three together, perhaps noting they are closely-related and often-overlapping? Or is that statement SYNTH based on your expertise in the field? Even better would be a couple of RSs explicitly indicating why these three are considered together. That sort of material would make an article at this level of generality really useful, and lead me to withdraw the nomination (or at least change my !vote if other have already !voted delete). As it is now, there are only several examples of what you consider to fit within the scope of the article, and one really long, seemingly promotional example. But there are no sources suggesting this scope means anything. Novaseminary (talk) 21:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • You are ignoring my previous answers and posing manipulative questions that imply policies that do not exist; I am not answering again/further. North8000 (talk) 22:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • @Novaseminary: The article is primarily concerned with methods for testing welds so as to assure their quality. If you feel so strongly that the title of the article is not quite appropriate for that topic, feel free to suggest a better title. That would be a far better course of action than to keep striving for its deletion.  --Lambiam 22:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I would very much like to settle on an alternative to deletion or be convinced that what seems to me to be OR is not. To the alternative to deletion end, I already suggested redirecting (now move over redirecting) to Weld inspection; removing the unsourced or SYNTH material that is not about Weld inspecting (or pasting any sourced, non-related material into another appropriate article). But North8000 seemed to object and hold on to the position that North's formulation of the lead and title is not SYNTH. That seems wrong to me. Another option might be for a move to Weld monitoring, if that is the predominant phrasing (perhaps with Weld inspecting redirecting there, too). The trio doesn't make sense, though. If there are synonyms, we should pick the most used and redirect the others. If they are different variants, we need some RS to establish the three have been treated together as a group and are thus not OR here. If the title and lead are not themselves OR (either by fixing them as a result of this AfD or finding RSs establishing as much), we can deal with the article's unsourced OR text in the editing process. But we can't make a non-notable SYNTH topic notable, even if every sentence but the SYNTH is well-sourced. Novaseminary (talk) 01:57, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Novaseminary does not "feel" anything on this, this is their clever way of battling. Again, this knowledge is based on hundreds and hundreds of interactions of 2 years. When I have an editing dispute with them they follow me somewhere else and do something like and then pretend to sound wikipedian. The most recent disputes that caused this are when I told them off at Machine vision and Feast of the Hunters Moon; they followed me to those two in retribution for not giving in to their bullying at other articles etc. All starting from an initial clash about 2 years ago at the Carrie Newcomer article. They do this to other editors too, mostly newbies as I was then, I'm just one of the few that didn't succumb to it and leave Knowledge.North8000 (talk) 02:28, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
So are you conceding the point that the article should be moved or deleted? Novaseminary (talk) 02:50, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
That is baseless and ridiculous. North8000 (talk) 03:42, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete A trainwreck of an article. Notability of an external topic is no excuse for filling an encyclopedia with random strings of unrelated words.
This began some time ago as an article on one specific technique for assessing welds, by measurement of arc welding parameters during welding. It has since morphed into a title that seems far broader, NDT vs. sectioning, nick-break tests, etc. but has lost what little structure it did have. This topic is not merely notable, it should probably be on the WP:VA vital articles list for engineering. However the lesson of the WP:IEP Pune project has been that you can't write articles by googling for a text string and pasting the results into a page. Writing an article on a large topic needs some prior understanding of a topic, in order to first structure its editorial plan (a naive editor can learn this much during research, but they still need to do so before publishing the article).
Good articles come from good article plans, that are then fleshed out with detail and research. I know of no way, and know of no examples, to take articles in this state and repair them piecemeal, to an adequate standard. The more usual result of that is something like boiler design or aircraft design process, where an article becomes bigger, but no better. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:16, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm not even playing your game, Colonel. This is a planning meeting, where we !vote on directions for future work. It's a big mistake to involve work (which takes time and effort) into such a meeting, because it delays and disrupts one's ability to plan.
I do not have such an article plan to hand. I certainly don't intend to write one before I consider I'm entitled to comment here. If I wished to write one, I'd start by pulling a couple of decent refs off the bookshelf (probably Gibson's Practical Welding and Houldcroft's Welding Processes) and quickly read their sections on weld testing. There's a clear three-way split between in-process monitoring, destructive and non-destructive testing. As the two listed are older books, they mostly focus on destructive testing as a means of training welders, the old approach being that a well-enough-trained welder didn't make mistakes. More modern approaches were to start using NDT, especially for post-war pressure systems. With the increase in automated welding in the decades of cheap, smart electronics, in-process monitoring becomes more important. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • A perfectionist approach was tried in Knowledge's predecessor — Nupedia. In more than three years, it only produced 24 articles and so it failed.

2005

2007

Andy, isn't an article (even if a stub) the place where such planning and work usually occurs? North8000 (talk) 12:45, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Andy, many good points there, and things that I have said myself. This really needs involvement by one or more persons who are an overall expert on this and I am not one. (please read my first comment for important background, including content on the non-SIP areas which I never intended or wanted to put in and only did so when the article got assaulted. But, in Wikipedian AFD terms, the question here is not it's quality level but only whether or not that title/subject should exist (= is wp:notable) as an article, and there you said yes, that "This topic is not merely notable, it should probably be on the WP:VA vital articles list for engineering." Could you clarify? North8000 (talk) 11:17, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
The article should be upgraded to being a WP:REDLINK. What we don't want is a toad of an article like boiler design, something that squats on the namespace and drives other editors away from writing the real article. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:22, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
This has (until now) been a non-article since the dawn of wiki-time and nothing happened until this was created. So a non-article does not sound like a plan for creating the article. North8000 (talk) 12:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Again, I had planned to leave it as just stub sections (outside of the SIP section) until it got assaulted. North8000 (talk) 12:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep—I was part of a related discussion about how to reframe/merge the article on signature image processing. Weld monitoring, testing and analysis is a large area that deserves a separate article—and is likely to be expanded in content over the next six months by North8000 and others. Tony (talk) 11:35, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep but redirect. Titles with "and" in them usually show a lack of focus. "Weld inspection" (as proposed above) would seem to be a better title. The activity is notable and important - recall the failure of welded Liberty ships during WWII due to new welding techniques and inadequate inspection. The phrase "Weld inspection" gives 58000 hits in Google Books, so there should be no shortage of sources; "welding quality assurance" gives 10,000 books hits (but I expect substantial overlap). --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:17, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • This seems reasonable enough to me. Andy also raises great points. With a good redirect and clear lead, we can rework the article to meet policy. But without repurposing the article, or at least retitling it, that seems unlikly. Why are the couple of ”keepers” opposed to this? Novaseminary (talk) 16:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • The point at issue here is whether an admin should use the delete function or not. General issues of article development are not what AFD is for. For one thing, 7 days may not be enough time to agree on the right title. Others have been arguing about the title of yoghourt for more than seven years now! Warden (talk) 17:34, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • And we might be moving toward a consensus that would allow an alternative to deletion, which is of course appropriate to discuss here. You think the article purpose and title satisfies N. I do not. Bit if we can agree on some tweaking that satisfies us both, that is good, not bad. Despite your less than constructive personal attack in your ”speedy keep” above, I think there is room for consensus, maybe unanimity even. I hope you zeal for keeping articles won't you from entertaining any alternatives to deletion. Novaseminary (talk) 18:04, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment If there were a better title I'd be all for it. I waited 3 months for other ideas. But so far I haven't seen one. Much here is monitoring which is not inspection. I suppose two articles (inspection and monitoring) is a possibility, though there would be overlap / "which article" type dilemmas. But I think that the scope covered by the current title is ideal at this point. North8000 (talk) 18:39, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
It seems to me that SIP meets N on it own. I spun it of and left a summary with a main link on this article (WP:SUMMARY). If North thinks SIP fails N, he knows how to send it to AfD. If he disagrees with how I used summary style, he or anybody else can edit it. Novaseminary (talk) 15:47, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
This disruptive editing is contrary to the consensused plan, further reinforced recently on the talk page. Stop and take it to talk to get a consensus.North8000 (talk) 21:32, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
There is no consensus to delete Signature image processing. Redirecting a notable topic to another article that may or may not be an umbrella to the notable topic is the same as deleting the article. That needs to happen at AfD, and not this AfD. Novaseminary (talk) 03:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. Web searches on "Knightvox" or "Bret Ewen" pretty much just find social media. Earlier versions of article assert that subject produced a remix of an M.I.A. non-hit, which I cannot verify, not that it really matters. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:38, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Unremarkable rock band. No references, no significant claims of notability. Google searches show little coverage - "Son of the Sun" "planet records" shows only 5 unique results, 9 total.

  • I agree that this is legitimate coverage, but I think it falls short of being substantial enough to justify an encyclopedia entry. The first is a preview in a small, local paper of the act's first concert. The second is a review in a college paper. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, but in desperate need of cleanup. I'm a little confused. The article describes a band founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1974. The article says they've "had a long and celebrated career. Most of their hit songs have been used time and time again in various advertisements, movies, television, and even political campaigns." If true, that would point toward notability, so I clicked the link in the article to their site to see if it contained more information about what ads, movies, etc. their music had been part of. The page I got, however, is for what appears to be a different band, founded in 2007 (according to their bio: ) in Buffalo, New York by people from New York and California. Adding to the confusion is that the Knowledge article refers to Zack Ward (or Zak Ward, as the name is spelled both ways in the article) in the 1974 story, and the web bio refers to Zak Ward as well. I don't know if the stories of two bands of the same name got conflated, or if someone added apocryphal details to the Knowledge article, or what. Before deciding this, it might be helpful to figure out what band we're talking about so we can look in the right places to see if they're notable or not. The band web site has a list of press mentions which point toward notability: they've been profiled in regional newspapers, reviewed in Juxtapoz, etc. Circumspect (talk) 01:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete. Kudos to Circumspect for noticing something amiss here. This article is a stub about a non-notable band formed in 2007, with a fanciful hoax history created for it. I've removed the hoax bits, which were in fact the bulk of the article. Their actual bio, such as it is, can be found here. They do appear to be a real band, but coverage I've found is sparse and far below WP:N threshhold; the faint few hundred listens that they've amassed on last.fm in the past 6 months suggests I'm not missing anything. If and when they achieve notability in the future, we should have this article back. Until then, I will remember them primarily for this line that, alas, I deleted within one of the hoax sections: "Son of the Sun attributes its fame and prosperity to their fans, love of Mother Earth, and silk clothing." --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

The result was delete. There is plenty of evidence that the company exists; however, the reliable sources consulted, while mentioning what the company does, are mainly talking about projects that the company are involved with rather than directly about the company itself. A good number of sources are locked behind pay-to-view, so there may be other sources available which could be used to create an appropriate article. As written, the article shows borderline notability for the company, and what tips this over to deletion is that the community are uncomfortable with the manner in which the article is presenting the company - in particular that the article appears to be written in a promotional manner rather than a neutral, informative manner. The company may be notable enough for a Knowledge article, but not as currently written. SilkTork 01:28, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Have you actually read WP:COMPANY (and the rest of Knowledge:Notability (organizations and companies))? I quote: "Knowledge editors should not create articles on commercial organizations for the purpose of overtly or covertly advertising a company", and "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources". On this latter point, the references within the article do not seem to show sufficient notability, and a good number were written by Tindale-Oliver itself. Bazonka (talk) 18:23, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. This appears to be a television station that originates programming, based on the names of programs, but I can't tell for sure; if it originates its own programming, it meets WP:BROADCAST at a similar level as full-power U.S. TV stations. Much of the programming seems to be home shopping for Jakarta (a capital city of 9.5 million), but it does seem to be Jakarta-specific, so presumably original to this station, rather than just a national shopping channel relay.

  • Keep - I have added five citations and two of the many books on the subject. Irama is a core concept in Gamelan (it is linked from many other WP articles on Gamelan), is defined in many books (and websites), and is a necessity for students and players to understand Gamelan music. The topic is certainly Notable. And we should not constantly be deleting good worthwhile articles of this nature. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I have added a brief note in Gamelan itself, with link to Irama and a citation. But the concepts were already richly linked together via the other articles on Gamelan music. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
It's core to the musicology of Gamelan, which in turn is one aspect of a complex subject - the culture, the repertoire and so on. Reasons why we should keep the article rather than attempting a merge:
Firstly, there is scope for more detail on Irama - we are not considering just the text now, but what it should be - in particular it would be helpful if it contained some tables or diagrams showing what it consists of in terms of beats (as in some of the referenced websites).
Secondly, why should we merge Irama, but not Gong ageng, Kendang, Kenong, Ladrang, Ompak, Gatra, ... etc etc? Why should all elements of a rich, complex subject be in one article? No, this is a Wiki, a hypertext, and it's convenient, accessible and correct to have a network of articles covering different aspects of a topic. Irama is a notable topic and deserves its own article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep: (disclaimer: original author, sorry I was lazy about citations back in those days, thanks Chiswick Chap for adding some). I argue against a merge, because it is a core concept in Javanese gamelan, not all other forms (which the gamelan article provides an overview of). The best way to clarify the diverse structures (and instruments, etc.) that appear in the various kinds of gamelan is to have a rich hypertext organization that is available for appropriate links. We obviously do this with distinctive rhythmic techniques that appear in European music, instead of merging them into the most typical genre they appear in (see Category:Rhythm). To do otherwise with the well-documented tradition of Javanese gamelan reflects a bias. Also, another great possibility with hypertext would be a link to similar concepts that happen in other musical forms, like fangman jiahua in China or thaw in Thai music (see this mention of irama in a book about Chinese music). I realize we don't yet have articles on those, and maybe won't for a while (I don't have time to write them right now), but we should, and when we do, it will be nice to link directly to an article on irama instead of expecting people to dig it out of a section of a much larger article.
