PRODed twice, by different editors. PROD removed by author both times without comment. First PROD rationale was "no notabilty". Second PROD rationale was "No indication of notability. No sources. Does not meet WP:GNG", which seems to cover the situation quite well. I would also question verifiability. Where is all this verbiage coming from? How can we check it is correct? DanielRigal (talk) 23:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Delete per both PRODs. No notability indicated, appears to be a paraphrase or copy-and-paste of promotional material which may bring it into WP:COPYVIO territory as well. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 23:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Only one source. I doubt that the character is entirely notable, this article has no real coverage or notability. JJ98 (Talk) 10:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Keep, although being a character in a notable TV programme doesn't imply notability, I think that due to Family Guy being particularly notable, and Joe Swanson being a central character, keeping this article is justified. For consistency, I checked the presence of articles of similarly notable TV characters and found that there are articles for at least 11 characters in Futurama, and probably over 30 characters from The Simpsons. I agree that more sources are needed but I think cleanup rather than deletion is the way forward Pi (Talk to me! ) 11:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Merge I'm a member of WP:FG and can't find any coverage of him. Like Hippie said, merge until it can properly be expanded out. I also disagree with Pi's reasoning, of other shows having character pages. The Simpsons are well sourced with DVD commentary, books, newspapers, etc and many are FA/GAs and the Futurama ones are decent, the (arguably) 3 main characters (Fry, Leela, and Bender) have DVD commentary, along with a few others.

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

This was set up as a disambiguation page, but it is not actually one because it does not direct the reader to articles about topics that could be called "The best political team." It is merely is a list of similar catch-phrases used by U.S. television networks in their advertising. I don't think this topic is notable enough to merit an article; we don't have lists of every commercial product that claims to be the "best" in every conceivable category or classification.

Comment: Just to add on to my delete vote, I do think we should turn this into a category, like Category:DC Comics characters with superhuman strength. However, we'll have to make sure that characters who get put into this category aren't overcategorized. For example, Superman is already in 18 categories. BurtAlert (talk) 03:11, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete - Trivial award, fails every other conceivable notability criteria. Tarc (talk) 15:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. She is a successful actress and filmmaker with a long resume on IMDb. There aren't that many actresses or filmmakers with a resume like that. Even if they were all flops she's obviously generating enough money to keep her career going, and some, and that's an incredible achievement. Also suggest having the title changed to Cherokee (pornographic actress and filmmaker).  Nipsonanomhmata  21:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Comment: Not voting either way, but don't change the name. There is no reason to be that specific, as there is not another pornographic actress named Cherokee who is not a filmmaker that people might confuse her with. BurtAlert (talk) 03:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
In agreement on the notability and sourcing, but for the record WP doesn't require articles on people to have the person's real name if it isn't known or isn't widely known. Шизомби (Sz) (talk) 06:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Relist rationale: Although the consensus at this time would be a delete, User:Nipsonanomhmata's point about the number of films that this performer has been in, added after the first relist, should be considered. If nobody agrees, then the result would be a delete. Mandsford 20:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
    A prolific career in non-notable movies does not satisfy WP:NACTOR, IMO. Also, what is the "...and filmmaker" part implying, that she is a director of porn movies? The IMDB link does not seem to support this assertion. Even if she was, I'm not sure that a porn director carries the same cachet as a real film director would. Tarc (talk) 21:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Prolificness or repetition of something without recognition for that repetition are not notability criteria. Arguably that would be original research, Knowledge (XXG) recognizing her for something nobody else has. The number of films may tend to further undermine her notability, given that an increased number of appearances would seemingly tend to increase one's chances of obtaining significant coverage, and yet for her it apparently changed nothing. Шизомби (Sz) (talk) 22:30, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • I'm absolutely baffled by this relist. One of the least-disputed matters in the long-running PORNBIO debates has been that a lengthy credit list is not an indicator of notability. As I recall reading, there was was a number-of-credits clause in PORNBIO, but it was removed long ago without any significant disagreement. An almost perfect example of this comes from the two Carmen Hayes AFDs , where the reversed outcome turned quite clearly on the point that, for porn performers, "Prolificness not a criteria." Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Don't be baffled. If there's a consensus of some sort that has frequently arisen out of previous debates, then it would be well to note that in WP:OUTCOMES. I'm afraid that I don't know enough about the subject to judge whether any of the films she has appeared in is an "iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature", let alone whether she has had a major role in any of those films, but that suggestion of stardom has been made by at least one of the participants in the discussion. If there's nothing to back up that claim, then there's nothing to worry about. Mandsford 19:14, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Consensus that prolificness is not a notability criterion is already indicated by it not being included in the notability guidelines. Nothing needs to be added to OUTCOMES, which is a problematic page anyway, unfortunately. Nipsonanomhmata is welcome to post reliable sources for the claims, but "She is a successful actress and filmmaker" looks like OR and "with a long resume on IMDb" is meaningless, given that IMDb is not a RS (she may not be in all those movies, and they may not all be real movies) and given that porn performers' filmographies often include compilation tapes. And there is no notability inherent in even a reliably-sourced long resume. "There aren't that many actresses or filmmakers with a resume like that" looks like OR, and with regard to "Even if they were all flops she's obviously generating enough money to keep her career going, and some,": we don't know how much she gets paid, or what other jobs she may have, so nothing is obvious there. She may be continuing to work because she hasn't done well enough to leave the business. "and that's an incredible achievement" seems like OR too. There may be honor in being an adult performer or, say, a fry cook in order to pay the bills, or if they find some personal meaning in the work, but is either notable just for reporting to work numerous times, or are they really achieving anything incredible? The way you judge whether she's appeared in an "iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature" or "had a major role in any of those films" would be to find reliable sources for that. The former doesn't grant automatic notability, and the latter doesn't at all. Шизомби (Sz) (talk) 20:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete or redirect. I redirected this when it first appeared and then PROD'd it, but I was kinda dragging my heals about bringing it here. The relevant information is already included in the main Neighbours article under Popularity and viewership. It's WP:LC and only relies on one website for sources. -

JuneGloom Talk 20:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, I really did think it was in regaurds to the table not being clean. As for it not meeting the wikipedia guidelines regaurding the lenght, other tables on wikipedia also have long lists of information,
  1. REDIRECT List of tallest buildings in the world
  2. REDIRECT List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people
  3. REDIRECT List of most popular given names
  4. REDIRECT List of Home and Away episodes

These lists are all excessivly long, and have relevent information. Now in regards to JuneGloom, TV Tonight is Australias best and only TV website that records programing across Australia (that I know) hence why there is only onereferecne for every episode listed, if you know another site, please link me it :)

Also you say their is already information relevent on the main Neighbours page, there is, but only a small section is mentioned about 2011, and it only mentions the highest episode to air, ect, not all the individual episode ratings. Mjs2010 (talk) 12:14, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

If this is to be deleted, I do propose we delete the Home and Away episode list section page, cause that is of same vaule if not less than the Neighbours 2011 ratings. Mjs2010 (talk) 06:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep. There are quite a few references to this community (and its cheese) in news , examples:, and books, examples:. And there's more at Google Scholar. A lot of the coverage also relates to its founder,Donella Meadows, so a merge/redirect could be considered, but a lot of the coverage (such as the write-ups in various books about sustainable communities) is independent of her, so I'd lean to keeping the article separate and improving it with sources such as these.--Arxiloxos (talk) 18:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

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

Despite the article's claims (and see the history for more extravagant and equally unverified claims), I don't believe that this person is notable. If indeed he is a music and reality TV star, how come this is all that Google News has to offer? This was added by an editor, but that doesn't sound very independent or objective (despite being mirrored on AllMusic)--and I find it odd that I can find no reliable verification for this "major chart hit" "Confessions of a Killer." Drmies (talk) 19:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC) Drmies (talk) 19:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

(User Sandradaba posted the following response but I beleive it was put in the wrong place so I am copying and pastin it below.) 69.113.134.143 (talk) 07:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC) — 69.113.134.143 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The link above was previously included as a source but has been removed several times during revisions. I believe this link alone is enough to prove the notability of Ian Erix. The MTV Network is one of the most famous and respected music aficionados in the world and a global broadcaster and media outlet that is currently featuring music, performances, and interviews by Ian Erix on their channels and websites as well as posting information on him. In my opinion, you simply cannot be a featured artist on MTV and be considered non-notable.

Furthermore, user Drmies claims alack of Google News stories is sufficent evidence that Erix is not a notable enough music star. This is a completely unfair assumption. Before the Ian Erix page was edited by Drmies it actually read that Ian Erix gained most of his popularity in Asia and parts of Europe which is where his first album was released. These are places where English is not a primary language or used at all and therefore stories written about Ian Erix in Chinese, Japanese or Russian, for example, would not show up in Google News, especially when doing a search utilizing characters from the English alphabet which are not used in those countries. Additionally, I am not sure how long news stories are kept live in Google News but Ian's first album release was in 2005 which was about 5 years ago so many stories may have already timed out.

Regardless, the fact remains that there are many ways to prove that Ian Erix is a notable person who should be more than qualified to have a Wikipedi aarticle on him and numerous sources to prove such have been sited in his page before the revisions were made by user Drmies. Billboard.com, the online home to Billboard Magazine lists Ian Erix in their artist database and in their short syndicated bio they refer to his launch in Europe and Asia, his role on a reality TV series as well as his Top 10 chart success with his song and album.http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/ian-erix/695708

Moreover, evidence of Ian's notorietery and popularity can be seen on his various social network sites which are his official pages that were linked to the article prior to the revision made by user Drmies. On his Bebo page, Erix has over 200 thousand registered fans www.bebo.com/ianerix and on his Myspace page www.msypace.com/ianerix he has over 100 thousand fans and millions of song plays. Those 2 official social network pages alone prove that he has a considerable following consisting of well over a quarter of a million people. That in itself should justify a claim of notability for Knowledge (XXG).

In addition, user Drmies calls into question the fact that Ian Erix has actually appeared in reality television programming despite the fact that a link to a video clip of the TV series was posted as one of the sources. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmtE0_jS3cc If you click the link, you will see a 7 minute clip of the TV series entitled Journey Of A Rock Star, starring Ian Erix. It is impossible to deny that. The Ian Erix article never claimed that the TV series was #1 in it's time slot or that it was the most successful series in the world. If it did, then I could understand flagging it for propaganda-like phrasing. However, the article only claimed that Ian was starring in the series and that is a simple, neutral and verifiable fact. www.ianerix.com/journeyofarockstar

I could elaborate here even furhter but I do believe that I have already suffiently proven that user Drmies has made a mistake in recommending this page for deletion. I ask that you remove it as a candidate for deletion at once. Additionally, I would like to inform you that I intend on replacing some of the wording which was removed during several revisions. I will take every measure to make sure that I write in a neutral tone and I will make sure that proper sources are sited. I do kindly ask that Drmies and other editors respect any revisions I make that are properly sourced. I am not looking to turn this into a trivial back and forth argument. As Knowledge (XXG) clearly states in its own guidelines, "The threshold for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG) is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Knowledge (XXG) has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true".

Thank you.

  • Keep

The person nominating this article for deletion has even himself admitted that there is an independant reliable source citing Ian Erix as a recognized music artist of merit with chart hits in other countries. Who is he to second guess what All Music Guide has published about Ian Erix? The fact that you can easily find numerous media on Ian Erix in an online search such as professionally created music videos, clips from TV shows, and appearances on MTV it makes it painfully obvious that Ian Erix has some sort of professional music career, at the very least. At this link alone you can see several music videos of his that have receieved hundreds of thousands of video views by the public.

It makes perfect sense like another user stated that since Ian's music was released in China or Russia or Japan that an English google search would not turn up as many links as would had the music gotten a full release in English speaking countries. This fact is perfectly aligned with what All Music Guide states. His first album was released in parts of Asia and Europe where they dont speak English.

But Ian Erix does have 13 songs featured on itunes in English and has announced on his website that he has a new album coming out for America and is planning a world tour.

At the very least, he must be considered a public figure by Knowledge (XXG) since he has released music to the public, and has appeared in professional music videos, interviews, performances and TV Shows. It is also easily established by looking at his official social network pages like Bebo and MySpace that he has almost half a million fans follwoing him. He certainly more than meets the requirements to keep a page on him here and I believe this entire nomination for deletion is frivoulous. Brokeradar222 (talk) 05:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

  • "'Keep"' - Reply to your "'Comment"' - It has already been proven that sources have written about him. Links to All Music Guide, Billboard, and MTV were provided above and cited in the original article. The MTV link is not only a performance video, but there is information written and published about Ian Erix by MTV and obviously they are a huge media outlet so that should certainly carrie a lot of weight. See the words they published about him here: http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/ian-erix I honestly don't understand how this can even be a debate at this point. Ian Erix meets many of the general inclusion guidelines for musicians. If that's not enough, here are some more links to published articles about Ian Erix, one of them is from one of the biggest celebrity magazines in the USA. While I realize that some may consider Star Magazine a tabloid, it doesn't change the fact that they have published articles on Ian Erix and that they are talking about him and that means besides meeting the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines to be included as a musician, he also meets guidelines to be included as a public figure. Again, I don't understand why this page should be nominated for deletion. It doesn't make any sense as there has been more than enough proof provided that it should be kept. Additional links are : http://indiependentmusic.blogspot.com/2006/07/ian-erix-for-conformity-album-review.html , http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qRZZf3sCj34/TDFe95nqZWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/tBmrFJDDpTM/s1600/star.jpg] and http://wildwritings.homestead.com/InterviewArchive/InterviewIanErix.html

  • Keep - I have read the inclusion guidelines in general, and specifically for musicians, and I believe that this article now meets the guidlines. The guidelines state that at least one criteria for must be met and I do believe it has. As editors have made a good faith effort to re-write the article in a neutral tone, and since the articles meets the criteria for established musicians, I move to close the discsussion on the proposed deletion of this article. Giftlists123 (talk) 03:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC) — Giftlists123 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete. No evidence whatsoever that this person passes any of the notability criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. Those here who assert that it does will have to name which of the criteria it meets and provide evidence for it rather than asserting over and over again that it does. I have not found anything on the internet about him that wasn't generated or written by him or mirroring this Knowledge (XXG) article or his own publicity blurbs. The fact that he offers his music for sale and does something in public does not make him a "public figure". His "TV series" is homemade. Can someone please explain which television station or major internet media actually broadcast this? Who produced it? Who has reviewed it in a notable independent publication? His MTV live session is specifically in the section for "emerging artists" and "future stars". It seems any member can upload one of their live sessions. MTV doesn't appear to be selective about these videos either. They currently have 79,473 of them. The Billboard reference is completely spurious—simply a copy of his standad publicity blurb. Click on the "Chart History" tab there: "This artist hasn't charted yet, but keep checking Billboard for the latest updates." Voceditenore (talk) 13:00, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete per voceditenore.4meter4 (talk) 13:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • KeepComment Voceditenore's comment above regarding MTV is absolutely erroneous. MTV is very selective of anyone appearing on their network and Ian Erix appeared in their London Studio where he filmed his live session. The idea that it was filmed in his bedroom or something and self uploaded is absurd. MTV is not a community for amatuer artists and it is a complete lie that 79,000 people have uploaded a video session to MTV like his. It is just completely and totally unfactual. It is true that MTV UK has an emerging artist section. Most new artists who are getting buzz when they first appear on the channel are featured in that section. Acts like Fall Out Boy, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga all appear in this section and they all remain listed there to this day even after they have exploded into mainstream worldwide fame. See the MTV section here http://www.mtv.co.uk/music/live-sessions/browse - All their artist sessions are listed alphabetically and you will find there is a small amount of proefessional performers, maybe 100 or so and Ian Erix is right there in the list with them. Furthermore, if you go to to www.mtv.co.uk and type Ian Erix into the search field, you will see he comes up as a featured artist on MTV. MTV does not feature any random Tom, Dick or Harry that uploads a video so Voceditenore statement that his work on MTV is self published is completely ridicolous and untrue and anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows that. Additioanly, in their official artist section, MTV UK published the following statement about Ian Erix "Ian Erix is an international Pop Punk rock star. An American bloke, with top ten singles already under his belt in parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, his brand of infectious Emo/Punk/Powerpop music is on course to launch worldwide with the debut of his interactive television series, "Journey Of A Rock Star". Brokeradar222 (talk) 21:27, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment And since MTV is an independant media outlet that is well known and respected music auhtority aroudn the world, they are a reliable source and should be considered as such and the written information they published on Ian Erix should go to his notabilty. Here is a link to what I copied above about Ian Erix from MTV. http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/ian-erix Brokeradar222 (talk) 21:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment I stand corected. I was misled by the search results. There are about 150 Live session videos. Having said that, MTV has the same empty blurb that appears at Last FM and Sound Maven. I have yet to see any evidence that he has had a top 10 single, despite the claims. He's an emerging artist, not an emerged one as evidenced by the continued inability of the article's editors to provide multiple independent reliable sources which attest to his notability. Provide the evidence for him passing even one of the criteria at WP:MUSICBIO and I'll change my opinion. Voceditenore (talk) 22:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep This disucssion can quite simply be summed up by following the Wikipeida Guidelines.

1)First and most importantly, please note the first paragaph taken from WP:VERIFY reads: "The threshold for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG) is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Knowledge (XXG) has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true".

Therefore, I submit that the following two sources, All Music Guide]and MTV ], should be sufficent enough to justify a Keep.

2)As listed in the Knowledge (XXG) Guidelines for songwriters here: WP:COMPOSER, Ian Erix has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. His writing and subsequent major label publishing of the songs can be verified at this link

Warner is a major label and publisher and Erix is listed on their roster in Scandinavia. Erix has written "Confessions Of A Killer" and the album from which it was taken, and according to All Music Guide, it has been notable in foreign countries. All Music Guide is listed as a most reputable source by Knowledge (XXG) and again as per WP:VERIFY there is no cause to loook beyond that.

(Note: You may have to log in to the Warner Bros. website to view the roster as their content is protected, however, the information is public and it is free to log-in) Krties (talk) 00:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)— Krties (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep The arguments initially put forward for deletion were that the convention is not notable, because it is small. As a musical genre, filk is small by the measure of the number of its aficionados, representing as it does the intersection set between science fiction fandom and (predominantly) folk music. (Yes, there are other musical styles and influences; this isn't the place to launch into a "What is filk?" debate.) Nonetheless, the genre is active and vibrant, and has grown beyond an activity done at general science fiction conventions, to the point of being able to sustain specialized or dedicated filk conventions, at last count a total of nine around the world, all of them recurring annual events. These conventions are a principal mechanism whereby participants meet to share and enjoy their music, and all of them are notable within the community, no matter how trivial they (or it) may appear to outsiders. Among the nine established conventions, FilKONtario falls in the middle of the size range, and is one of the longest-running. HScrimgeour (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Notability concerns, lack of sources

This page has been tagged since May 2009 with notability concerns. This Ivan Karasev apparently is the author of a constructed language whose page was deleted then (see Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Log/2009 May 10#Arahau). At the time the nominating editor suggested nominating this page as well. A sysop on ru: states there that most Ivan Karasev related stuff that wiki seemed to be PR work by one person or a small group of people. There do not seem to be any English language references on this person, although that in itself doesn't mean much, but as I don't speak Russian I can't really comment on the quality of the available sources. I came upon this page because I found a single issue editor spamming WP with ELs to this guy's conlang, and eventually found my way here while reverting his edits. Eniagrom (talk) 17:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

  • I had nominated the article about this person for deletion in ru.wiki (link for those who can read in Russian). After long debates participated mostly with unregistered users (presumably Mr. Karasev himslef and his friends) the article was finally kept due to the fact that Karasev is rather frequently contributing to Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reports from his region (see the list of his contributions, in Russian) - it is sufficient reason for keeping in ru.wiki. The problem is that the articles both in Russian and in English are treating Karasev mostly as writer and creator of artificial language; these activities of Karasev are not covered by reliable sources and he is definitely not notable in these aspects. I suppose there are no sources observing his activity as a journalist as well. Therefore probably the article should be deleted in en.wiki. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 21:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • delete I am pretty sure this is an autobiography. The language is definitely not notable. Since notability requires that he is himself the subject of substantial coverage his journalistic activity doesn't make him notable - unless he is publishing articles about himself which I doubt. ·Maunus·ƛ· 23:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

---Ouch...sorry. You were right, I've never heard of that 'publisher'. It wasn't obvious to me, just like the hundreds of other things with wikipedia that are simple once experienced, but not obvious to the uninitiated. And probably too late in the evening/too many articles to boot. I think the article is interesting/important, and worked on it when I came to it from 'wikify'. However, not being able to find any online info about this subject except that one is a problem, and is still going to be a problem, no? How to deal with this?

List cruft. We don't need a page to document all 73 of his 2001 home runs. All pertinent info should be at Barry Bonds or 2001 Major League Baseball season. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:23, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Yeah, that's why I see this as different from 1998 record chase. There there was massive and continual attention from outside sources, the entire chase was notable and has coverage. On the other hand Bonds' chase really didn't, so this type of article really has no reason to exist. Same way we don't have List of Ichiro Suzuki's 262 hits during the 2004 season: The overall record is notable but the individual events weren't (same here, each of Bonds' home runs weren't notable, and those that are are already in the Bonds' notable HR list). Staxringold talk 15:03, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • OK, so if I understand your argument correctly, 1998 was about the chase, and showing their parallel progress helps define the chase better. That would perhaps account for the lack of articles about Ruth 1927 and Maris 1961 also... or Ruth 1921, for that matter. Interestingly enough, 1927 and 1961 coverage tended to compare game-by-game with the previous record holding seasons. Likewise with Mantle in 1961, Greenberg in 1938 and Foxx in 1932. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 15:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Precisely, though I do think there'd be a case for the '61 record chase (seeing as how it got a movie made about it and everything). There you actually had competition and heavy coverage, the controversy over 154/162, etc, etc. Staxringold talk 15:30, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • I would guess the reason for their being articles on the 1998 and 2001 chases but not 1921, 1927, 1932, 1938 and 1961 is due to recentism and the availability (and lack thereof) of sources. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete This is just another name for the MENA protests, of which we already have an article on. There's no need to duplicate that information in another article just because it has a special name. A name that violates NPOV, by the way, considering you should be using a more neutral title and then just note in the first line that it is also referred to as the Jasmine Revolution. Either way, this article is unnecessary. Silverseren 21:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Its not a history, the event is currently going on and millions or probably billions of people know it by 'jasmine revolution' as they read the name in media. As it is not related to a single country, so a separate article is needed, as other articles are related to particular countries.--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Then the article should be just about the places having protests outside the MENA area. Which means you should remove everything but China and Algeria. Otherwise, you're just copying content that is already used in the MENA article. Silverseren 22:39, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment. I'm not familiar enough with Knowledge (XXG)'s policies and precedents to say definitively what should be done, but I do think we tread on eggshells by trying to determine the validity of a given label in current-events situations: Aside from the fact that the events are still developing, to have a Knowledge (XXG) article under a certain title reifies it in the minds of those who hear the term somewhere and inevitably end up on the Knowledge (XXG) article when they google it. For now it seems clear that this at least needs to be a disambiguation page or redirect with a disambiguation note, assuming the China article isn't deleted or merged. Whether there's enough to justify this being a separate article or it needs to be merged with 'Tunisia Effect' or some other solution, I'm not sure. Gonfalone (talk) 09:28, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Redirect seems to be what the outcome of this discussion will be. Which is good, because that just means that we are saying that the subject doesn't meet notability standards for now. If more events happen later, then the redirect can just be reverted, so all the old content is back in the article and the new content can be added. So, if more stuff does end up happening, then this is just a temporary thing. If nothing further does happen, then it's a moot point anyways. Silverseren 09:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Very strong Delete/Redirect Oh my dear god, either people have no knowledge of the present situation, or haven't read the article at all. First of all, there are only two revolutions called "Jasmine Revolution" by at least numerous sources, one in China and Tunisia, not the however many present in the article. As someone mentioned, in Iran, the nickname is "Green Revolution". Keeping this doesn't makes ANY SENSE. The Chinese one is not even a real revolution. NOTHING happened. As in, just a bunch of police showed up and some people who didn't really do anything. That's it. We can mention the effect of the Tunisian Revolution on China in the 2010-2011 Tunisian Revolution sure. But stop creating almost identical wikipedia articles for no reason. 140.180.14.79 (talk) 22:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This is an ongoing event and the fact everyone is overlooking is that the nomenclature is still very fluid as to what exactly this whole thing might be called. This article should be kept if but to be developed into one covering the collective protests that have flared up and been inspired by one another, facilitated by increased internet usage by those involved. The advantage to having a non-geographic home article is that, since the protests can seemingly pop up anywhere - and have - until the protests have concluded, it's very difficult to give them a comprehensively-named article, not to mention how clunky such a titled article would be ('Pan-African-China-Middle East Protest Movement Via Twitter'). While it may not be the most globally used term, it is an identifiable one, and with more usage may very well become the accepted term for these events in a world context. Yes, each one may have a different variation on the naming, but this thing, as of yet, does not have one big, overarching title. Let's give it one and develop the article from there, and if it ends up being known by some other term, rename it at that time ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crtrue (talk • contribs) 07:23, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
    • Yet even so, the title "Pan-African-China-Middle East Protest Movement Via Twitter" is still WP:OR simply because it has the word "China" in it. There are many scuffles in China every year, and as said time and time again, linking the most recent one with the Middle East protests is entirely WP:OR. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:52, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
      • Except, journalists themselves are linking the current protests in China with what is going on in the Middle East. So, if there is any OR it is by the subject matter experts in the field themselves. I saw a journalist on MSNBC just today link Chinese protests with Middle East rebellions/revolutions.*shrug* Right now the situation is fluid, I recommend keeping the article on that basis, and if any revision needs to happen going forward then it can be at a later time. Right now, I'm seeing ... from the prospect of watching news coverage here, the undeniable linking of the two.♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 09:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

The result was delete. I'm going to quote King of Hearts' closing summary for Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/2010-2011 Worldwide protests, because I think it applies just as well here: "It is not up to Wikipedians to judge whether something is particularly remarkable; what we need are reliable sources...For comparison, the Revolutions of 1989 are naturally coherent because of their common, specific theme (abolishing communism), which of course led to widespread coverage on the topic as a whole. The Revolutions of 1848 are not as related as those of 1989, but scores of historians have discussed this as a lump sum that it is worthy of an article. If future historians do the same for this event, of course the article may be recreated." NW (Talk) 17:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

(Copied from the talk page): This article seems to me a case of synthesis - yes, there have been lots of protests around the world in 2010 and 2011, but that doesn't mean they're related. Do the protests in Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Chile, Cote d'Ivoire and the United States really have anything in common with each other, except for taking place within the same year? I doubt it.

  • Delete per nom. & others, clearly WP:SYNTH. Merge proposed by Alinor is worthy of consideration, however.--JayJasper (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep They all happened in 2010-2011; this is cited. They were all anti-government protests; this is cited. The assertions of SYNTH are groundless, and further connections between the protests are neither required of nor asserted by the article. I have never seen SYNTH used correctly in an AfD. It seems to be a devil's playground for overreaching of almost paranoiac proportions.
"...except for taking place within the same year?" As I have shown, the argument that there must be further connections other than the year they happened is unfounded, there are no further connections asserted in the article, nor should we add any.
Although the core argument is already refuted, I contradict the notion that it is common sense that there are no other connections also: "...Do the protests...really have anything in common with each other...I doubt it" I would agree with an assertion that these protests are not necessarily related, but to assert that they are necessarily not related? Rubbish. The protestors read the news, they know of the other protests, and it seems likely to the point of certainty that they were, in some part, inspired by the others.

Hi rategreat88, none of the additions help to meet Knowledge (XXG)'s guideline for notability of an individual. Let me go through them.
Overall, there's plenty of proof that Reznick exists and has a commercial practice. There's indication he's active in his commercial field, but to me, he doesn't meet the burden of WP:BIO and other standards, such as WP:GNG. In other words, having published some papers is different than being widely cited for those papers, or being the leader in a very specific field. One good rule of thumb for the many links given (above) is to see how many of them have articles on Knowledge (XXG). For instance, CEREC does, but not CEREC Doctors or Dental Journal. tedder (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

This article on a Swiss band was created on 2 January 2009 by a user who has not been seen since. The article was tagged for notability in January 2010, and none has been suggested since. It remains unsourced, despite request in November 2009. A quick Google search brought up no independent sources to testify to this group's notability; links were to Wikis, blogs, facebook and other sites belonging to the group itself. The article says that the band has recorded some home-made demos (not notable - what band hasn't?) and has recorded one album, though no sales or charts figures are given. Unless I'm missing something (which is possible - I'm not genned up on modern bands) this article fails on notability grounds. Emeraude (talk) 16:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Not notable former brothel. Article is unverified, and while I'd love to add some sources, there aren't any. Google News searches for 'Atlantis brothel Frankfurt' as well as 'Atlantis Bordell Frankfurt' reveal nothing.

  • Comment. If there is anything, other than the closure, to establish notability mentioned in any of the references? The closure of a brothel, mentioned in newspapers, doesn't really make for a notable event (if it does then Knowledge (XXG) will be deluged with articles about places that have closed down with a mention in a couple of newspapers). Was there anything special about it? Was it in a famous movie? Or were any famous people exposed for having attended it? Or basically, anything that isn't just about the closure. I'll withdraw my delete if there is anything that establishes notability.  Nipsonanomhmata  21:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
This is an awkward one. I really hope there is someone with access to the newspaper archives; without that, I don't know whether there is - in RS. (The articles will presumably mention earlier discussion of the topics that predates the online archive, if there is any.) On the other hand, it is all over racy sites in both German and English. If ever there were a notable brothel in Germany in the last decade, this apparently was it. But I hope I didn't infect my computer searching.--Yngvadottir (talk) 22:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment Seems notable from article, but lack of an entry on another wiki is telling. Disambig here - http://zh.wikipedia.org/%E9%99%B3%E5%9C%8B%E8%8F%AF - has no current actor with the name, only a Hong Kong politician and director.

  • Delete Agree with the "appears notable" comment, but without reliable, 3rd party verification confirming the claims I would have to lean towards delete. Additionally, if he won the Best Supporting Actor Star Awards twice in 1998 and 2000, how come he isn't listed on it's WP page as a recipient for that award category (admittedly, this not necessarily a good measure for inclusion)? Chen Guo Hua is listed as the recipient. 14:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Keep Chen Guo Hua link redirects to Bryan Chan. After looking a little deeper it appears that Bryan Chen is the chosen English name for Chen Guo Hua. I am unable to find a reliable source to confirm this, but I can find content linking some of the content in the Bryan Chan article to Chen Guo Hua. Perhaps at least a redirect back to Chen Guo Hua.

The deletion is complicated by having multiple matches available for the name. Searching GNews and GBooks finds no relevant matches for this McDonald when refining by year of birth or by Falkiner Award. Examining the self-published bio page at www.jamesmcdonald.co.nr shows nothing to unambiguously demonstrate notability against WP:ARTIST such as nationally or internationally recognized awards or permanent public exhibition. A PROD was rejected in 2008 on the basis that sources might be found, however in the intervening 3 years this has not improved and it seems unlikely that the issues of verification and notability will be addressed in the near future. Fæ (talk) 06:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

All working artists have exhibitions for sale, and these count towards notability, but depending on how prestigous the gallery, the media coverage, and ultimately perhaps, what the prices are - prices are one crude test of notability. But little of the small coverage these get nowadays is online. Johnbod (talk) 16:02, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

No real assertion of notability. Created by an editor who has no contributions elsewhere and so is likely an autobiography. Lots of padding but very little real content. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I tend to agree. Notability is at best marginal and much of the content is completely superfluous. (RT) (talk) 17:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I tend to disagree. Some verifiable references have been added and many articles on Knowledge (XXG) are created by editors who focus on one particular article. This article definitely concerns a person of notability, substance, depth, and some longevity. There are other articles on creative individuals in Knowledge (XXG) which seem to emphasize the superficial aspects of notability over and above actual achievement. Is this what Knowledge (XXG) is evolving into- A place marker for anyone heavily connected to Pop culture. Fpm1949 (talk) 05:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC) — Fpm1949 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Yes, it is evolving into that. I moved the article to Wikia, which is as sadly underused, in many categories, as WP is abused by deletionists. I suppose there is potential for a compatibility of sorts between the two. http://musicians.wikia.com/Musicians_Wiki . I just wish I had gotten to the vid game, martial arts, and to a lesser extent (because I personally don't care) soccer player articles and moved them all, too, but it is pretty much too late for that.

Knowledge (XXG) is also no place for deletionists to dominate and force their opinions based on assumptions with little or no evidence. I'm no inclusionist, but unsubstantiated objectivity and overconcern for the "reputation" of Knowledge (XXG) can cloud any attempt at fair mindedness. A sort of false or quasi-jurisprudence is the unfortunate outcome. Fpm1949 (talk)
I'm much more of an inclusionist than you think, but this does not extend to autobiographies. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. --bender235 (talk) 09:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
It can readily be observed, by reading the article carefully, that the multidisciplinary artist, Frank Martinez, already has a website. Therefore, the suggestion of creating one in lieu of the Knowledge (XXG) article seems unnecessary. Also, in reading the discussion that accompanies the article, one can see that I (User:FPM1949) am not that person, but have been interested in multidisciplinary artists for many years. It seems that any editor who is attempting to delete this article should read it in its entirety, as well as the full discussion that goes with it. I still believe there is a deletionist bias at work here, but cannot prove such a thing, so will retract that assumption. Fpm1949 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC).
Dude, it is pretty obvious that you are Frank M. But you need to realize that an article about yourself is nothing to be proud of. --bender235 (talk) 20:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

DUDE?????? Everything seems so obvious to you, doesn't it? This no longer seems to be a discussion, but rather, a personal attack, lacking in objectivity, and above all, a breach of "discussion guidelines." Valid arguments citing appropriate guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements. Also, commenting on people, rather than the article, is disruptive and unproductive. Fpm1949

I already commented on the article. None notable + self-promotion = delete. --bender235 (talk) 22:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep He's published, he's been published about, therefore notable. I don't think you have any solid proof about who wrote the article and even if you're right, it is a fallacy to say that someone close to a subject can't write a good article on a subject. --MoonLichen (talk) 03:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
No proof for WP:AUTO? I guess anyone has access to "personal letters addressed to Frank Martinez", right? And by the way: where has he been published about? --bender235 (talk) 17:32, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. I looked through all the references and they don't appear notable. One is a grainy jpeg of a gallery program uploaded by Frank Martinez himself according the Wikimedia Commons. Another one is a link his self-published CD Baby album with direction to look at a review posted at the bottom of the page. This review that could have been written by anyone including the subject himself since all you have to do is log in to write a review. This all appears to be a vanity project.

  • Delete. No reliable, independent evidence of notability has been found. (RT) (talk) 21:25, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep Edidudevanitas. This is a portmanteau which represents all of the self righteous editors who replace true notable content (TNC) with defiant editorial judgement. I have not received one ounce of true editorial help to clean up or make this article better. The consensus process works when editors listen, respond, and cooperate to build a better article. "Editors who refuse to allow any consensus except the one they have decided on, and are willing to filibuster indefinitely to attain that goal, destroy the consensus process." (This is a quote from Knowledge (XXG):Consensus) Also, he (Frank Martinez) has been published in the New Orleans Times Picayune by Frank Gagnard (Sept. 13, 1979) as well as by Louis Nicholas, The Tennessean, 3-Instrument Performance Shows Talent, 1975 as well as numerous other publications.Fpm1949 —Preceding undated comment added 03:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC).

Delete. Article does not meet the criteria for inclusion found at WP:WEB. Notability has not been established through significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. Sources provided equate to primary references and trivial mentions. Little content actually about the subject of the article. Cind.amuse 16:05, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Keep It is the largest independent IT support forum in the UK, has featured in multiple national media outlets (The Guardian, TES, The Register, and on organisation sites such as the BCS, NAACE and in reports by organisations such as Becta and the NAHT). If that doesn't show notability, then no site on the net is notable.-Localzuk 16:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Further to this, it is seriously worrying that an article is given barely a few minutes after a prior incorrect speedy delete to put notability in place! It shows evidence of bad faith by the nominating editor, and the admin who previously speedy deleted it. How are users supposed to create an article? Are they supposed to arrive on this site with all rules memorised, and with their entire articles perfectly formed? If that's the case then there isn't a single article on here that would have survived a few years ago, as they all have to start somewhere!!-Localzuk 16:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes, our standards have tightened considerably in the last half decade or so, and numerous articles from back then wouldn't pass our current guidelines. However, we've never been a directory of every website ever, not even in the beginning. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:33, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
So, a list of national news media sources, national agencies and organisations isn't notable then?-Localzuk 20:21, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete per Cindamuse. Little content actually about the subject of the article sums it up pretty well. Decidedly weak Alexa rank of 26,000+ doesn't exactly suggest notability either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:33, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Alexa rank is not an accurate measure of worldwide site rankings, as it is mostly US-centric. Knowledge (XXG) is not a US-centric site, so it should not be used to gauge how notable a site is. Not to mention, the article has only had a few hours to actually allow editing! You are really putting off new editors by persisting with an attack on new articles like this.-Localzuk 20:21, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Not to mention, 26k rank is not notable? What planet are you on? There are hundreds of millions of websites online, and this one is in the low 10k's by their ranking, and you think that's not notable enough!?-Localzuk 20:24, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep - Just looking around at it's peer articles, there are ones that I believe exercise less notability than this, and aren't even English based to begin with. Though, the strange thing is that the notability and stance in the UK. Yes, it is fairly neich-y, but I know doing SysAdmin work that this quite often appears high up in search links. Reedy (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep UK ranking is respectable considering that the site targets a very specific target audience. Also as Reedy said, threads on the forum often appear quite high up in search engine requests although this isn't necessarily a factor of notability. The publicity the site has received is reasonably small and whether this is notable enough to be on wikipedia is questionable, although the sponsorships and affiliations with some most definately notable companies I think is for now enough to let the article stay.

  • Note In case nobody has noticed, another article EduGeek.net on exactly the same subject has been created on 28 Jan 2011. -- Dr Greg  talk  22:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Note EduGeek.net is the website (which is what the entry should be for) and EduGeek is the term used to describe members (generally IT Professionals working in education) but the term has also been used in US as part of EduGeek Journal, an online publication / site mainly contributed to by 6 teachers. The initial entry I put in place a few years ago was to do with the term, but there was insufficient noted use for the entry to stay. The site and online community of EduGeek.net has more credence as an entry and it is obvious that the entry on this page will be superseded by the other entry. They were created by different contributors, one who took an existing deleted entry (without much understanding of the need to promptly include significant references) and one which has been more carefully created to include the relevant references. Tonyshep (talk) 00:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep In a word, BS. You can't have it both ways. The sources that establish notability ARE the content that you decry for not being directly about the organization. If you want to quickly go and get rid of the stupid awkward poorly defined "article must show reasons for its own notability" rules, that lead to so many newbs writing peacock material, I'll wait; that would be more than OK with me. Instead I finally get to see them a deletor slip on them like a banana skin.
The points after the first paragraph of the History section report on what Edugeek does and what others said about it, as is inevitable for reporting by news sources that expect any stories they write to actually be read by people who are not paid to do so. They establish notability. And if you have a problem with them not being about what you choose to define as the subject of the article, I have already given you some advice about what to do about it.

  • Comment - This is about the process here, rather than the article under discussion. From past experience, when I see a deletion debate about a web site turn like this from Delete towards Keep, it's often from a flood of WP:SPAs. Usually because the site itself rallies the troops to "vote" to support the page. Looking through all the Keep votes on this one, I see none of that. Just regular WP editors expressing their opinions. Maybe I'm becoming a bit cynical from my time around here but, in this current case, I am pleasantly surprised to not find what I was expecting to find. :) - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Further references have been found, but as the previous comment states that online media presence in Kwa-Zulu Natal is not widely plublicised and unfortunately limited to NewsWatch blogs and related sites. The organisation does however appear in many local news print publications but these are not placed online as well. It is unfortunate that there are a few similar organisations on Knowledge (XXG) from North America that have their own pages simply because the online presence of their organisation is greater than that of VEMA's. One in particular is the 911th Engineer Company who only have two references. the only difference between them and VEMA is that 911th is military and VEMA is voluntary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.185.94.58 (talk) 07:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Article is mostly copied from this bio and is composed of unsourced and unfounded claims about his connection to Oasis or alleged fame. Unsignificant singer. DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 12:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

*Weak Delete. Copyvio edit had left the article as an empty stub with no context at all, so I've edited a bit to provide some info needed to asses it. It looks like the Oasis link is on the level and I've put in a decent cite to back it up. That's not by itself enough for notabillity though, per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTINHERITED. However, his previous band Cook da books have an article (albeit a pretty thin one with only one citation) so they might have had some notability. His current band 'The Sums' appear to be unsigned. As it stands I think a delete, but if any citations could be dug up around cook da books I could be persueded to keep (with a move to his real name).--ThePaintedOne (talk) 14:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Merge the mention of "Digsy's Dinner" to Cook da Books and redirect. Member of a notable band who Oasis fans at least are likely to search for here.--Michig (talk) 13:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC)...or maybe even Keep. Deary was also drummer/songwriter in the band Smaller (I'll start an article at some point), which had UK top 75 hits in 1996 and 1997. I've added the relevant information about "Digsy's Dinner" etc. to the Cook da Books album - it's a 'keep' as far as notability is concerned for me, but the amount of verifiable content suggests the merge to Cook da Books is probably the better option.--Michig (talk) 14:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Nearly all of the content of this article is already shown in List of best-selling girl groups, which although is in need of more sources, includes all genres and worldwide regions. No compelling reason for separation of R&B genre, and this R&B list is exclusively U.S.-based. The section at the end with the chart tally doesn't seem to have any method by which groups were included. Suggest deletion or at very least merging with the main List of best-selling girl groups article. - eo (talk) 12:16, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete as a matter of personal preference toward this sort of list not being on Knowledge (XXG). "Best-selling" is so vague... does it refer to traditional album sales only? Does it refer to iTunes sales only? Does it include downloads via Amazon or other download stores? Even if such a list were to include all possible sources, it would be an ever-changing list and difficult to maintain. Strikerforce (talk) 05:40, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

League of Romanian Students Abroad (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Never mind the strong promotional tone, the uncited (often uncitable) statements, the one-hit author. What's problematic here is the lack of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", as required by WP:GNG. Let's go through the footnotes:

  • This note refers to the group's own website, and thus is not independent.
  • This note makes no mention of the group.
  • This note is a blog post and thus not a reliable source.
  • This note is a press release noting Romania's Foreign Minister attended an event sponsored by the group. First, note that this is a press release, with material for the most part probably supplied by the League itself, and thus not really an independent source. Second, the Minister is constantly attending private functions (, , , , , ); this doesn't automatically confer notability on them.
  • This note gives passing mention to the group in a human-interest story in a college newsletter; this hardly establishes any sort of notability.
  • This note gives even more fleeting mention about a website the group co-launched; again, not exactly significant coverage.
  • This note is a blog post and merely mentions that the group signed a petition; obviously irrelevant for our purposes. Biruitorul 06:05, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Organizations-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 01:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I cannot agree with the reviw of "Biruitorul". For instance, Note 2 -- follow the link to identify a clear mention of the group. Also, the LSRS is one of the most important NGOs in Romania just based on the number of members and global spread of this globalization; the facts speak for themselves. Note 4 - it is a press release of the Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministry, quoting the Minister himself. There is no such release anywhere else to suggest it was put out by anyone associated with the LSRS.

Moreover, I have adopted a neutral tone and pointed out controversial/problematic issues about the group when necessary. A simple Internet search for "liga studentilor romani din strainatate" shows over 100,000 results! The relative scarcity of English sources should not necessarily disqualify this group from inclusion, but I'll let the wikipedia community judge that.

There is also a relation to the Organization of Serbian Students Abroad (OSSI), which has a nice wikipedia article as well. If the policy of wikipedia is to delete this article for lack of references, it is regrettable in my opinion.

Finally, there should be more time allowed for gathering "reliable" sources. I could have added many more in Romanian, but I'm trying to include English language sources! I appreciate the input! Thank you very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Romanian Maverick (talk • contribs) 04:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC) — Romanian Maverick (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Four points:
  • 1) We actually don't have an article on the Organization of Serbian Students Abroad, and anyway, see WP:WAX.
  • 2) I was mistaken; does indeed mention that the League conducted a survey, but that hardly rises to the level of significant coverage.
  • 3) I invite readers to peruse this press release. Based on the tone, it seems highly likely the Foreign Ministry didn't write the entire text, but rather that much of it was supplied by the League itself.
  • 4) Whatever the Google count (and see WP:GHITS for that), there are only a little over a hundred unique results, most of which fall afoul of WP:RS. - Biruitorul 19:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Update: new links inform us that this guy and this lady (scroll down, on the right) have won awards from the League. Interesting, but handing out awards is not necessarily a determinant of notability. Neither is organizing a conference.
  • What is telling is that the League is not mentioned in depth by any Romanian newspaper: either not at all (Gândul, Jurnalul Naţional), or just barely in passing (Evenimentul Zilei, Cotidianul). An organization that can't attract notice from the press in its own country (one with a perennial focus on Romanians abroad, I might add) shouldn't feature in this encyclopedia either. - Biruitorul 19:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


  • a brief google search shows there are many mentions in the Romanian press about the organization. Besides the 4 you have picked to support your argument, there are a lot more, from more reliable newspapers: financiarul, realitatea are just the two most obvious one can find in under 10 seconds. It is unrealistic to expect a newspaper to write a story about the organization, as opposed to about the events of the organization. Furthermore when the press constantly writes about the events and projects of an NGO, that means the NGOS is notable. The fact that most major newspapers, a bunch of local newspapers and a handful of glossy formats, plus a few national prime time television shows (news and entertainment shows) plus the Romanian embassies mention the organization, should be relevant. If nothing else, I believe giving the article another 3 months time to develop is appropriate. Deni120 (talk) 21:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC) — Deni120 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • The first source you provide is largely lifted from the League's FAQ. The second one mentions the League handed out some awards — again, handing out awards does not automatically make someone notable. Whatever is or is not unrealistic in your view, I do expect at least one (genuinely) independent source to cover an organization itself, if it is to have an article here. This is the case for, say, the Writers' Union of Romania or ASTRA, but does not appear to be so for the League. - Biruitorul 23:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Handing out awards is extremely notable when you are the only organization recognizing the best Romanian students abroad in a given year. There are more than 50,000 Romanian students around the world, fellow members of this community, and when an Award Ceremony brings together the most important Romanian academic and political stakeholders, from Ionel Haiduc, president of the Romanian Academy, to the Senate's President, to the Foreign Affairs Minister and the president of the National Liberal Party -- that is very, very notable, especially in front of over 800 people.
    • It is completely unfair to demand extensive coverage in the English language as a criterion for notability -- but I don't think wikipedia does. It seems to be, however, the opinion of certain individual users. I'm not sure why.

How about sources like this one? http://www.dilemaveche.ro/sectiune/educatie/articol/studen-ii-romani-strainatate-gindul-romania Dilema Veche is one of the most reputable journals in Romania.

Or here: http://catavencu.ro/liga-studentilor-romani-din-strainatate-breaking-news-38034

And this: http://www.a1.ro/cautare/liga-studentilor-romani-din-strainatate-942857.html One of the top-3 news TV stations in Romania...seems notable, I think.

And Pro TV, a rival TV station: http://www.protv.ro/noutati/protv-international-alaturi-de-liga-studentilor-romani-din-strainatate.

And studentie.ro, the largest student portal in Romania: http://www.studentie.ro/campus/LIGA_STUDENTILOR_ROMANI_DIN_STRAINATATE/c-70-a-50391

Ziare.com: http://www.ziare.com/scoala/studenti/cei-mai-buni-studenti-romani-de-peste-hotare-premiati-in-tara-1067141

What exactly do you mean by "genuinely independent source"? Would you suppose an NGO like this one has the capacity or resources to get this kind of coverage from rival media outlets?! Sorry to say, that is unrealistic at least in Romania.

        • As a general note, I think it is reasonable to expect the Wiki community to make judgments based on whether enough people care about one organization or another. In this case, I think LSRS passes the test.

Also, since you asked... http://en.wikipedia.org/Organisation_of_Serbian_Students_Abroad

Finally, do you really think the Foreign Minister of a country lets an NGO write press releases that appear on the Ministry's official website?! We may be poor, but not that poor... the minister has his own staff for that kind of thing. And while the tone may be promotional, I don't think it promotes LSRS but...the Minister :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Romanian Maverick (talk • contribs) 01:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

This article cites only primary sources, comic books themselves. It does not cite secondary sources, and will never do: this is a one-time character of a single story, the Avengers/Ultraforce crossover, which isn't much notable in itself either. Even the Thanos Quest is not described with good context: there is no "Nemesis" in there, that would be done with retroactive continuity at this character's single story. See here and here. As you can see, the story talks about God, albeit in vague and cryptic terms (as Marvel Comics always do, avoiding to take a stance in the question of the existence of God). So, of two stories, it's actually only one.

If you need real-world context to understand all this, Marvel comics published many comic books in the 90's with the Infinity Gems as part of the storyline. This fictional objects gave omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and all God traits to the character that wields it. The "The Thanos Quest" story used the panels I cited to explain the origin of those gems. The Avengers/Ultraforce crossover, where this "Nemesis" appeared, is one of those stories. However, being an Intercompany crossover the plot is not part of the Marvel canon. This character, or even the existence of a seventh gem, have never been mentioned in more recent comic books featuring the gems, such as those of She-Hulk, Thanos or the Illuminati.

By the way, there are comic book characters that may be notable even appearing in a single story, such as those of Watchmen or V for Vendetta, but this one is not one of them. There is zero character development, Nemesis is just a punching bag for the Avengers and Ultraforce to defeat, and nothing more. MBelgrano (talk) 22:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
