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

Not really covered in reliable sources. Quite simply, there's just not enough information to make a sufficiently good, balanced article, and searches for good sources have apparently failed for many years.

Note that the only good, strong sources in the article... are just background sources, not specifically about him, used merely to provide the mainstream view on fringe theories he espouses. Once you ignore those, you end up with an incredibly weakly-sourced article, with no apparent hope of improvement. Source #3 is especially telling: http://www.annieappleseedproject.org/ralmosphdonl.html - this is used in close paraphrase to provide the history of Moss' life, despite coming from a questionable transcript of Moss talking about himself. It's not a suitable source for a WP:BLP, and fails pretty much every point of the guidelines for self-published sources by the article's subject, but it's arguably our main source for the article.

As for source #7, the only reliable source actually about Moss, it's available on Google books and from that, we can see the coverage is limited to a single paragraph.

For a biography of a living person, we need top-notch sources. Without these, we pretty much have to fail it under the general notability guideline, since we simply lack the material to make an article. 86.** IP (talk) 23:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete A search of Google News, Scholar and Books have not shown any substantial information with which to build an encyclopedic article from independent sources.

  • Weak delete: I think this is really on the borderline in terms of notability criteria; it could probably be argued either way. But when you have borderline notability in the BLP of a controversial individual, I think we should default to delete, so that's what I'd support here. MastCell  03:16, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Definite strong Keep as a notable writer. Meets WP:AUTHOR with several notable books His Free radical : Albert Szent-Gyorgyi and the battle over vitamin C has reviews in New York Times LA Times And it was on the New York Times Bestseller List for March 13, 1988. . We've always considered that by itself as notability. And it is is in 364 WorldCat libraries, including all major academic libraries.
His books on cancer have reviews similar or greater holdings: The cancer industry : unraveling the politics has a review in the LA Times -and Publishers Weekly and Oncolink published by the Abrahamson Cancer Center of the University of Penna. -- and there are 464 WorldCat holdings, again including all major university libraries- The Cancer syndrome, his earlier version of The Cancer industry, itself has reviews in the Boston Glove and LA Times -- and 487 World Cat holdings, including the main academic libraries.
The reviews prove notability. Library holdings are not a formal criterion and are not regarded a proving it, but they help show the notability. I can't imagine hundreds of mainstream health care libraries buying these books if he were not a major influence to be contended with. For most works by alternative medicine figures, there may be many public libraries, but only a few universities trying for completeness. Regardless of that, the reviews prove the notability of the author.
In declining the prod, I gave considerable weight to his membership on the Alternative Medicine Program Advisory Council of the National Institutes of Health. The Toronto Star apparently agrees with me, for they found this appointment worth an article . The NIH also in its principal public review on Laetrile lists his work as the only non-academic reference they include. and gives him a profile I am really puzzled how the i.p. nom missed all this -- which is just from Google News Archive, supplemented with Google. Maybe he didn't look--I notice he does not say he made any attempt to check for references. The first commentator above right after him says he did look in G News--but he seems not to have found the many dozens of items, so maybe he didn't check in their Archive also. It's time people stopped judging by appearances. DGG ( talk ) 19:51, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Analysis by 86.** IP Going through in order:

Conclusion: I do not believe that DGG's references serve to show that an article conforming with the stringent standards of WP:BLP can be constructed for Ralph W. Moss. A BLP has too high of standards to go by inherited notability. His books likely could have encyclopedic articles on them,.

In the end, between WP:BLP (we need high-quality sources), and the WP:GNG (there simply isn't the substantial coverage in secondary sources about Moss himself that we require), we don't seem to have a choice.

I admit this is surprising - one would think his career would make him more notable, but we have almost no information about him. I am happy to be shown wrong, but don't think DGG has as yet. 86.** IP (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep per DGG's excellent sources. I do think he has it. Moss has written several very widely reviewed, notable, books. We normally consider that sufficient to make an article about the author. This isn't "inherited notability" in the sense of WP:INHERITED where the subject didn't do anything to become notable, books aren't relatives, they're his professional output. Moss is an author; writing these books are what he does. Writing books that are this widely read and reviewed is a sign of notability in his field. --GRuban (talk) 19:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
But what are we supposed to use to make the article? If there's no sources about him, we can't. 86.** IP (talk) 20:17, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
We can make a fine stub article that lists the non-controversial stuff, where he was born, went to school, worked, etc., plus a bibliography with a few reviews. That's enough. Whoever tagged the fact that he graduated such and such a school with "self-published source" was being overenthusiastic. With rare exceptions, when someone writes he personally graduated such and such a school, we believe them. That's not the "unduly self serving" material that WP:ABOUTSELF warns us about. --GRuban (talk) 20:29, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - nom did not execute WP:BEFORE; DGG had to do it for nom. The author's work is notable, author is notable, sources exist. (I've removed the misleading double blank lines above, which imply some sort of break in discussion.)
The Toronto Star article found by DGG is probative: the man has been publicly notable for a number of years. GNG. Let's go ahead and cite that in the article.
Nom's analysis isseems zealous and incorrect, and seems to assume bad faith. I am sorely tempted to strikethrough its errors: I sincerely hope nom will do so.
  1. About ref #7, a paragraph is quite sufficient. It meets the definition of "substantial", and is clearly not trivial.
  2. Nom claims the NY Times 1988 book review "A Cut Lemon Doesn't Turn Brown" (single-page) spends only "one sentence" on Moss, but the article bears reading to show that's not true. 86 claims "not a book review at all", when in fact it clearly states "Mr. Moss's book is a detailed and quite readable study of the life of a man" and "he presents a generally sympathetic portrait of a man he clearly admires. He does not, however, gloss over ...". Bluntly, it's a book review.
    The way I read it was that it mentioned the book, then went on to talk about the subject, without mentioning the book again. I did skim, however. 86.** IP (talk) 00:07, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
  3. The NIH bio is not self-published; though it may have been provided by Moss, it is published by the NIH National Library of Medicine. It is therefore not an autobiographical statement, it is a biographical statement. If there were factual problems with that bio, it would either have been pulled or redacted. The NIH NLM PR office would not sanction unverifiable bios. As is the case with all secondary sources, we basically trust them.
  4. In fact, most BLPs about authors of notable works are thin on biographical totally independent sources (the reason for so few BLP GAs!). Most secondary sources about living authors consist of spotchecked autobios, and interviews. We trust them. The sources rule. Is the nom suggesting deleting all of the author BLPs, even though their works have attained considerable notability? I would hope not. This author is conclusively notable through their works and offices held, which (now, thx DGG) have RS.
  5. About the paywalled articles, per WP:V, verification has to be possible, not guaranteed to be easy or free. This includes university alumni records - all alumni can verify them, unwashed public cannot - but they are still considered verifiable, like it or not, because all it would take for anyone to verify that source is to register for a class, or befriend an alumnus, etc. An editor cannot arbitrarily exclude sources that he cannot or will not personally verify, see WP:SOURCEACCESS (trust me, I have some bitter experience with this).
  6. PBS's two productionsThe two documentary productions broadcast by PBS based on his work were in the 80's, and articles about them and press releases will be on paper. Again, WP:SOURCEACCESS. Per WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE, if there is reasonable certainty about the existence of sources, deletion should not be pursued.
  7. About WP:BLP, we require sourcing primarily in order to avoid blatant promo, falsehoods, and defamatory content. We permit wide latitude in primary sourcing, as long as secondary sources are also cited. Of course, extraordinary or controversial claims require stronger sources, but I see no such claims in this article mandating such a zealous pursuit of deletion.
  8. It is unseemly for a nom to argue, belittle, and gainsay every single point of every !vote different than the noms, and this should stop.
Auxiliary supportive, but not definitive, source: This validates Moss's claim, of his film documentary Albert Szent-Gyorgyi: A Special Gift - 1984 (production company, Pacific Street films). We'll have to go through offline 1984/85 newspaper archives for reviews of that show and The Cancer War - 1983, which may have won an award. My point is, sources exist, probably offline. The fact that the online independent biographical material is thin is insufficient justification for deletion. --Lexein (talk) 00:03, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
First of all, I didn't think Book reviews would be good enough. I see that that's apparently acceptable, now, but please, assume a little good faith here. As for evaluating DGG's sources, that's what one should be doing, surely: I disagreed, yes, but only after considering it. Had I NOT considered them, that would have been far worse. 86.** IP (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
The seeming stridency of the analysis and its seeming ABF prompted my stern-ish wish for some strikethroughs. Your courteous reply above frees me to AGF going forward. Analysis is good, but should still be civil. I tend to agree that book authorship and reviews alone would be on the bubble, without best-seller or other notable attached events or RS pub of any bio details. However, we have broader coverage than that, fortunately: films, officialdom, organizations, advocacy, etc., and we don't know any of his book sales ranks. I hope for depth at the library, and some movement of found sources into the text. . --Lexein (talk) 00:08, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
I apologise. I didn't mean for it to be uncivil; I merely meant to express disagreement, but was balancing 10 pages at the time, so was probably too blunt in my analysis. Honestly, if book reviews are enough, we can probably close this now; we'll be limited in how much we can say, but, I suppose DGG and you are right - we can say a bit, and I guess there's no harm doing the little bit we can. We can always look at it again later. Withdraw? 86.** IP (talk) 02:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Gah - "never give up, never surrender". Text is a harsh medium; things can easily seem to be what they are not. I think a certain amount of grumpiness should be permitted, but I also overreact. I'm fine with this staying open for the usual period, for other voices (I've been wrong before), or withdrawing. --Lexein (talk) 08:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment The Mount Washington image is used to illustrate the UFO article in Bulgarian, Bosnian, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Macedonian, Polish, Russian, and other wikis, suggesting that this is a popular UFO story (or alternately that someone with a lot of time on their hands has been adding the image to a lot of different wikis). I'd be kind of curious where this story comes from (e.g., who originally decided that the photo looks like a UFO?), but a quick search didn't turn up much in the way of historical context. I did find another book that mentions the photo, Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire (1), although it's just a snippet view and doesn't seem to have much context either. If the article can be improved enough, it might make a nice Halloween DYK. CordeliaNaismith (talk) 23:32, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete and bury in a block of ice As far as I can ascertain, this has no identifiable source; it is passed around from UFO blog to UFO blog, but since every single such mention goes off about this auction in 2002 (unsubstantiated, and if anyone really did pay that kind of money for it, they were gypped), the two more recent mentions cannot be traced to any better source, even if they are in marginally more reputable publications. More damning is that the full image (shown at right) doesn't show a sky scene, but instead shows some sort of ice formation; one may guess at the nature of the fleck but it could just as well be a piece of wood. Ironically, the only way we could have a reliable source on this is to get someone else out there to do the debunking for us; then we could write it up as a hoax. as it stands, since you have to be right to be reliable, we don't have any reliable sources. Mangoe (talk) 01:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
That it is an ice formation makes it all the more notable - it means the UFO has landed! Looking at it closely, it's not a chunk of wood (too much structure at one end), it's not crud on the lens, it's not a smudge. It must be real. After all, it's not like a photographer taking a picture of a really large ice formation might have wanted to put something there for scale, is it? . . . Ach! . . . . never mind. Delete Maybe we need some special rule for WP:FRINGE material, whereby it has not met the benchmark for notability until it has become well enough known for someone with credibility to publicly debunk it. Agricolae (talk) 03:50, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Knowledge (XXG)'s general notability guideline. Neelix (talk) 19:17, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep - We seem to have an article on every Dad's Army episode; for the sake of continuity, I would suggest that this is kept (unless you propose we delete all of the episodes). Furthermore, Dad's Army is a very notable British TV series, so it seems an article on the episodes would be appropriate. ItsZippy 19:40, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete as nominator - The existence of two potential sources does not constitute significant coverage. The notability of a subject is not determined by the existence of other similar articles. For example, some Smallville episodes are sufficiently notable to justify their own articles, but the vast majority are not. Just because some aren't sufficiently notable doesn't mean that the articles about the notable episodes should be deleted. In the case of this episode of Dad's Army, the general notability guideline is not satisfied. Neelix (talk) 14:42, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep Dad's Army is easliy one of the most popular UK sitcoms and as such has a number of books published on it. Only three days ago I picked one up with episode listings and details, unfortunately I don't have it to hand, I'll look for it tomorrow. Someoneanother 22:17, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep: Judging from the title of this news report from The Guardian, this show is notable. To quote a portion from the report: Croft's long-running partnership with Jimmy Perry spawned Dad's Army, arguably the most successful British sitcom of all time. Originally aired between 1968 and 1977, it remains one of BBC2's most popular shows even today. Pmresource (talk) 22:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep It does lack referneces, but is well written enough to possibly keep with the adition of citations, even if it must be merged into another article it should not be simply deleted.

The result was redirect to Wantage#Education. The opinion here is relatively split between merging the content and outright deletion due to lack of notability, though some do favour redirection. Common practice will generally redirect non-notable schools to a parent article, and I note that in this case Wantage#Education exists, so I'll redirect it there and anything worth merging can be done from the history, but care should be taken to not give the school undue weight in the article.

For that reason I would !vote "delete". However, the article states that school's main building enjoys listed building status, which would normally be a reason to keep.

These three articles are hoaxes. There are various false claims that can be checked, e.g. that Sir David was a Privy Councillor or that Jean Alexandre Cohen (in early versions of his article) was Mayor of Charlotte, NC, but the basic point is that there is no such title as "Baron Cruse-Cohen". I have checked Debrett (the only source cited) and, also thepeerage.com.

I had been looking over the 'bat detector' page, preparing to do some editing to include better information about some of the more state of the art "full spectrum" detectors (such as those made by Wildlife Acoustics and Pettersson Elektronik). I am a bat researcher in the U.S., and have used many of the call recording & analysis systems available. When I found that the page for Wildlife Acoustics has been proposed for deletion, as "not notable" I posted comments to apparently the wrong place (talk) so am adding them here. I believe that the Wildlife Acoustics entry is notable, has publicly verifiable information and should remain a separate entry. This company's products are in use worldwide in wildlife bio-acoustic studies and surveys. I suspect that when the bio-acoustic and bat detector Wiki entries are updated & improved, then the significance of Wildlife Acoustics's contribution to state of the art technologies for bird and bat surveys will be more apparent. I am familiar with some non-industry sources, such as bat research and professional meeting presentation that have had discussions and evaluations of the products and technologies that are being developed by this outfit, including coverage in at least 3 formal presentations at the Western Bat Working Group 2011 meetings and articles in the newsletters such as the one on page 20 of Western Canada Bat Network- Newsletter - Fall2009.Bigearedbatguy (talk) 02:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)— Bigearedbatguy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete There is no significant coverage of Wildlife Acoustics in reliable sources. That one of the company's products was reviewed in The New York Times does not warrant an article for this company. According to WP:PRODUCT, "a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right. In this case, an article on the product may be appropriate, and notability of the company itself is not inherited as a result" (my emphasis). The Boston Globe article discusses two entrepreneurs, one being Ian Agranat, the founder of this company. Most of the article focuses on the product of the company rather than the company itself.

However, there is also a general agreement that the sources in the article were not reliable and independent.

The result was keep. The consensus at this time seems to be to keep the article, but this does not mean it cannot be re-nominated at a future date. Those in favor of deletion note that there is no available information for a biography and those in favor of keeping say there is. The article is less than a month old.

WP:NOTSCANDAL This article lacks any verifiable biographical information because it is not publicly available. The page as it stands only exists to question the reputation and credibility of the individual. I would suggest the content should be split into The Monster of Florence article (which currently has nothing on him mentioned, even though it has been cited as grounds for notability) and into either Murder of Meredith Kercher (the only article to link to him) or Trial of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito (if it continues to exist) and probably given a good review to ensure that it is not being given undue weight.

  • Delete. I often favour redirection over deletion, but there is a real question here of where exactly the redirect should point to (i.e. MoF or MoMK?) This article is basically a WP:BLP2E Could have used a better link to illustrate my argument, possibly WP:CONTENTFORK. SuperMarioMan 19:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC) - while there is significant involvement in two high-profile court cases, practically nothing else about the subject himself is worthy of note (even his date of birth seems to be a mystery). The lower half is simply a content fork of MoMK, and the information relating to MoF could just be merged into that page. I can't help but feel that the creation of this article was poorly-timed and very much in haste. SuperMarioMan 20:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
Comment It looks like you have not read your own link to WP:BLP2E which I will quote here for you: "BLP2E or Subjects notable only for two events is not a policy on Knowledge (XXG). It is a misconception of some editors that WP:BLP1E can be extended to two (or more) events. Arguments invoking BLP2E as a reason someone is not notable are outside of policy and fallacious. It invokes induction where it doesn't apply. It is similar to saying that a hamburger stored at room temperature will never rot because if it is edible now, it is also edible a microsecond later." Dougbremner (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps you did not read the banner at the top of WP:BLP2E, which states that the page reflects the opinions of one or more Knowledge (XXG) contributors and is not an authoritative policy or guideline. My point is that instead of offering any kind of balanced overview of the subject's life, this BLP is almost exclusively dedicated to a small handful of events with which he is connected, essentially forming a content fork of other articles (or should that be POV fork?) SuperMarioMan 15:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
SMM, I think the point is that you made an argument that seemed to point to a WP policy/guideline supporting your view, when in fact it is not a WP policy/guideline and it directly opposes your point of view. I mean, go ahead and make your point, that's fine.

  • Delete. The only reason Mignini is known at all in the English-speaking world is for the Kercher case, and--relatedly--because he rubbed Doug Preston the wrong way, which led Preston to make him the villain in his 2008 MoF book, which in turn allowed Preston to give many more interviews than if he hadn't made Knox's prosecutor a central character. So Mignini really is a one-event guy, who doesn't even have his own page in Italian wikipedia, and given that he been portrayed so badly in the English speaking media I see a lot of potential for BLP abuse and not a lot of up-side. Brmull (talk) 22:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. There's a lot of biographical material about him in reliable sources that hasn't been added to the article yet, and it's material that sheds light on issues in both the Kercher and Monster of Florence cases, which could only be summarized in these other articles. There are 199,000 Google hits for his name, 20 in Google Books, and several news articles or book chapters devoted almost entirely to him. SlimVirgin 00:27, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
WP:GOOGLEHITS is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 15:10, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
The article has been live for almost 2 weeks and I raised this issue a few days ago. It was only after it was nominated for deletion that some biographical information was added (by you only I believe) and it seems to all be cited to one book - "A lot" of information seems to be missing if you have it in reliable sources. I have looked through a lot of the Google hits (mind you not 199,000 worth) and most are covering the same story - the trial of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito.

Brmull (talk) 04:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete - There's nothing to say of worth or value about the man beyond his involvement in a few overly-sensational court cases. What will come out of a bio such as this, then, will just be a laundry list of criticisms and catcalls from his detractors, particularly from the Amanda Knox fan club.

  • Keep After the latest updates the article isn't anymore against WP:SCANDAL, because we now have a bio with some basic informations and balanced informations about the episodes he was involved in. Objections about WP:BLP2E aren't relevant about the deletion (as explained there). What happens on it.wikipedia (page speedy deleted years ago) isn't relevant here 'cause they have different criteria about notability. --Juanm (talk) 18:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. There's a ton of biographical information about him that is not yet in the article, and the person is incredibly notable as having been a prominent part of two incredibly high profile court cases. It isshocking to me that this is even up for discussion. The notability guidelines are met easily. Those editors here who argue that the information should be in MoMK or the Trials article (which should be one article) are the some of the same who argued that Knox's info should also be those articles, but then object to the inclusion as off-topic or non-notable. This would seem to be the case here as well (much of Mignini's info simply doesn't belong in the other articles) The one issue that should be addressed is with regards to BLP concerns. Of course, that is a reason to be vigilant regarding the content of the article, not to delete it.LedRush (talk) 20:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your comments. I wasn't questioning notability. I raised BLP concerns, which were not addressed by the editors of the article (and I tried to find the information myself without success). Some progress has been made to address the distinct lack of biographical information but only after this deletion request was made. Unfortunately, the "ton of biographical information" was excluded from the article originally, which seems to suggest it was not created with the intention of being a biography at all. I'm happy to see a couple of authors are now making efforts to address the BLP concerns, though the ton of biographical information, in my opinion, is still not there - and what has been added all comes from one source, which seems to suggest the information is actually not that prevalent. (Connolly15 (talk) 21:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC))
  • Actually, a quick look at the references suggest that the biographical information comes from about 3 pages of one book. Quite a bit of basic information about him, in my opinion, is still missing. (Connolly15 (talk) 22:00, 24 October 2011 (UTC))

  • Comment: I fundamentally disagree with the approach that this Wiki article is taking (especially now) - I can guarantee that anyone in the future who is found not guilty where Mignini is the prosecutor will feel sympathy for Amanda Knox and express it, try to write a book and try to sue for damages - and the tabloids will pick it up. Are we going to include everyone? What about all the successful convictions he's brought since 1979? Oh wait, we can't include those, because funny enough the media doesn't report them... most definitely not presenting a neutral case. (Connolly15 (talk) 23:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC))
That view doesn't make any sense. Mignini isn't notable because he sometimes unsuccessfully prosecutes defendants. He has played an important role in two of the biggest murder cases in the last 100 years in Italy. That's what makes him notable. And the media was reporting on Mignini far before Knox and Sollecito were found innocent on appeal. Like when they were found guilty at the lower level. He had just as much media attention then. Let's not make this into something it isn't.LedRush (talk) 01:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
I agree. So, why are we including content about the unrelated prosecution of Bulgari? (Connolly15 (talk) 09:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC))
If it's picked up by reliable sources, it may be included, but we'd have to be careful of putting undue weight on not-very notable subjects. I took your comment above as an argument against an article and responded to it as such. If that is not your view, and you are merely discussig the inclusion of Bulgari, wouldn't the article space be better for this?LedRush (talk) 14:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Just went to the page. It seems that Bulgari is notable enough to have her own WP article, and that reliable sources covered this case (like CBS news). Seems fine for inclusion to me. And, of course, it strengthens the case for this article to survive deletion. Still, the best place for the argument seems to be the article's talk page.LedRush (talk) 14:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep: The obvious notability of this chap as established by English-language sources alone is indisputable. Nevard (talk) 02:30, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep The article now has the appropriate amount of biographical information for a subject such as this and a long list of WP:RS.

Dougbremner (talk) 13:52, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
An "appropriate amount of biographical information" that seems to be limited to the first two lines of the introduction and the one-and-a-half-line paragraph that makes up the section ambitiously titled "Education and career". The rest is pretty much just a rehash of sections of Monster of Florence, Murder of Meredith Kercher and Brigitta Bulgari. Fifteen out of the 27 "RSs" (apparently, something that was originally reported in The Sun now passes the test for reliability) include the name "Knox" in the title, which is rather suggestive (at least to me) of what this "BLP" is really about. SuperMarioMan 15:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep: Mignini has made desperate efforts to silence all opponents and critics through legal channels. He even succeeded in having Google close down Frank Sfarzo's excellent blog, for a short time. Knowledge (XXG) is a grass-roots organisation and should not fall victim to such bullying tactics by Mignini and his supporters.

I checked the article again today and it looks like a stub that has been drawn out by repeating similar information in different ways.

Fails WP:CORP in that there is no significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. —Biosketch (talk) 10:49, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

( Please note immediately-following reply was added per wp:indent after most or all of the comments from other !voters shown below had already been posted. )
@Biosketch: The WP:NONPROFIT subsection of WP:CORP is the applicable governing policy in this AfD; just mentioning WP:CORP in its entirety is too broad. Saying the same thing another way, WP:CORP comprises Alternate Criteria for Specific Types of Organizations which itself comprises WP:NONPROFIT, which states:
( non-commercial ) Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
(1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
(2) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple third-party, independent, reliable sources.
Non-commercial orgainizations have a much lower bar to clear to establish notability than wp:corporations do, in other words.  – OhioStandard (talk)
A misinterpretation, Lambian? It's a subtle distinction, but if it's notability of the orgaization we're considering, not the reliability of any assertions made by the guest writer, then it seems to me that it's the independence of the publisher that's most relevant. Here we have an independent print newspaper with a circulation of 75,000, The Register-Guard, that has judged this organization and its message as being significant, timely, and relevant enough to merit the attention of its readership, and on the prime real-estate of its A7 editorial page, too. Of course, if the text had been self-published (e.g. if it only appeared in the newspaper only via a paid advert) then that would be a different matter; that wouldn't say anything at all the notability of the org. But as I see it, a guest editorial does.  – OhioStandard (talk) 09:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
( note timestamp ) Similarly, I just found a ten-minute video interview/debate with IJAN spokesperson/co-founder Mich Levy, published under the title | Not all Jews support the Israeli government by RT News. I include it here just to keep like with like: The RT interview is pretty general I/P slugfest stuff, but a similar argument applies as with the guest editorial, as I see it. RT News considers IJAN important enough ( or however you want to say that ) to use their representative as a principal in a debate/interview.  – OhioStandard (talk) 14:07, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

A small radical group can still be notable. That's not the problem. The problem is that the sources that establish this organization's notability aren't independent third-party reliable sources – and the independent third-party reliable sources that do mention the organization don't establish its notability. What I find most perplexing, though, is that you've not seen fit to make any comment in relation to FrontPage Magazine, which currently seems to be the number-one source being invoked for arguing that IJAN meets Knowledge (XXG)'s notability criteria. After all the energy you invested in this dicussion, one would think you'd at least have something nasty to say about them in this context. Not to mention that you were personally brought here by an editor yesterday to reconsider your vote.—Biosketch (talk) 11:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Geez, Biosketch, you're making this terribly personal. There was nothing even remotely improper in this notification. I bet many more of the early "delete" !votes here would also change if the editors who registered them revisited this re the sources that have now been added. Don't you want !voters to give their best judgments based on the fullest and most current information available?
And no, I wasn't aware that FrontPage Magazine had previously been disqualified at RSN. But so what? We still have 15 or 20 other WP:RS articles that establish notability just fine, thank you.  – OhioStandard (talk) 09:49, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete Only causal mentions in newspaper articles and opinion columns don't make a notable organization. --Cox wasan (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment The mentions do seem trivial, but ther also appear to be a lot of them Also there are these Sources that we can discus. There is also this , but I can't read German. We also have this "specially with the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network” a highly visible co-sponsor". This is all very borderline.Slatersteven (talk) 19:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • As a service to people who do not read German, on the page of the German-language source that is accessible via Google, the organization is the subject of the two sentences at the top of the page, apparently in the context of a general discussion of the concepts of antizionism and antisemitism. The two sentences, of which the first is incomplete, translate as: "... 2008 the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network founded. It was initiated by a Jew living in Canada."  Sandstein  19:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete Only a single source in the article (or presented in this discussion) is both more than a passing mention and is independent of its subject is the link which Stuart Yeates brought up--and its notability is somewhat questionable, as it is simply a declaration of support for the group from a group of British MPs which was included in a list of possible debate topics. It was never discussed, and it's not unlike a late-night speech in an empty House of Representatives (for benefit of the C-SPAN cameras) or adding something into the Congressional Record (which is not an indicator of reliability or notability). The others are passing mentions, except for the mini-article about the six arrested activists in the Jewish Journal, or links to not-independent sources, such as their own website. as a side note to Slatersteven, lots of trivial mentions don't add up to notability.

That's exactly what doesn't qualify as significant coverage: " Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability."—Biosketch (talk) 11:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes it does, the full sentance says "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability." This is excatly what has been done. This clearly meets the notabilty criteria, but thank you for drawing my attention to the fact. Two paragraphs discussing the organisations activities . This says “International Jewish Anti-Zionist … have important roles in creating policy and setting anti-Israel agendas but do not organize a significant number of events.” So the ADL think they are important, this also from the ADL .Slatersteven (talk) 12:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I've left a comment at the Knowledge (XXG) talk:Notability (organizations and companies). There's a problem, in my opinion, with the way WP:CORPDEPTH is formulated. It starts out saying that depth of coverage is the crucial consideration, only to undermine its own claim by next saying that unsubstantial coverage is fine as long as it spans multiple sources. It then concludes by reinforcing its first claim and contradicting the second one.—Biosketch (talk) 13:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
It says "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered", not that it is crucial. Indeed I see no contradiction, it says that either one very in-depth source or multiple non-in-depth sources are needed to establish notability.Slatersteven (talk) 13:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
The modal must communicates obligation, i.e. we're obligated to consider depth of coverage, which is also the spirit that issues from "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient."—Biosketch (talk) 13:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
What defines Trivial or incidental coverage"?Slatersteven (talk) 13:23, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Can you provide any independent sources which discuss the organization's aims or goals? It's rather obvious that the only sources in the article (or which have been referenced in this discussion) that cite the goals of the group (beyond mentioning that they organized a specific seminar or were amongst a score of groups invited to speak at a handful of symposia) are sources from the group's own website. Even the sources which are critical (from the ADL) don't mention the group, only specific incidents without any context at all. If the group is notable, then somebody must have discussed them in a depth greater than what is presented here. I don't see that for this group. Horologium (talk) 21:05, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I have already cited in the article the book by Irish academic David Landy, Jewish Identity and Palestimnian Rights: Disapora Jewish Opposition to Israel, which refers several times to IJAN. This is clearly an independent and reliable source. RolandR (talk) 22:17, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Could you please quote the three relevant pages of the book (pg 118 and pp 213-214) to demonstrate that they are more than a cursory discussion of the book? Again, I am not contesting the reliability of the sources; I am stating that they are not the substantial independent coverage. But now that you've brought it up, a publication from the former chair of the "Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign" might have some issues with weight and balance. Horologium (talk) 22:41, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
The most substantial reference is on page 118: "This is far from the case and it may well be that Americans are more aware of this problem; it is suggestive that the transnational organisation IJAN is by origin a US enterprise. While still a very small network, IJAN, established in 2007, has attracted considerable interest due to its uncompromisingly anti-Zionist pole of Jewish resistance to Israel. In terms of activism, IJAN is primarily involved in the boycott campaign, but has ambitions to set itself up as a transnational anti-Zionist pole of Jewish resistance to Israel. While it has small groups in Canada, India, Argentina and several European countries, its main organisational base is in the USA. Nevertheless it can legitimately be called a transnational network since it consciously tries to coordinate activities across continents --- one example of this is its campaign against the Jewish National Fund (JNF) for its involvement in ethnic cleansing in Israel/Palestine, and more broadly for its rôle in furthering what is seen as a racist vision of an ethnically pure Israeli state." There are also less substantial references to IJAN on pages 92, 100, 108, 152, 164, 195, 213 and 215. Please note that Landy, who discusses in the introduction to the book his possible conflict of interest as a Jew and a former chair of Irish PSC, is a lecturer on race, ethnicity and conflict in the department of sociology at Trinity College Dublin, and thus an acknowledged expert on the subject. RolandR (talk) 10:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Note that David Landy's name appears at this IJAN petition (number 243 on the list). He openly endorses the group and therefore might not qualify as an independent source.—Biosketch (talk) 12:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Signing a petition hosted on the IJAN website is not the same as "openly endorsing" the group, which Landy has not done. IJAN is merely one of the 30 groups and individuals sponsoring the petition. Landy's book, based on his PhD dissertation, is a peer-reviewed academic study of the subject; and one of the first to study this issue. As I note above, in the introduction Landy explicitly addresses the implications of his own activism. The section is too long to copy, but I recommend reading what he has to say in this before dismissing the book as necessarily biased. RolandR (talk) 12:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment - Multiple additional sources found
This organization's Never Again for Anyone on-campus event at Douglass College of Rutgers University on 29 January 2011 gained considerable coverage. It was met with very emphatic and well-organized opposition from Zionist groups. There were accusations and counter-accusations between opposing groups and this organization that generated significant coverage from multiple media sources:
  • The Jewish Week published a guest editorial about the organization, the Never Again for Anyone tour, and the controversy at Rutgers. It should be noted that this opinion piece was written by one a young man affiliated with the group that was most prominent in organizing opposition to the Rutgers event, a young man named Sam Weiner, "a junior at Rutgers studying Jewish Studies and Political Science. He is a member of Rutgers Hillel and is a member of the board of directors of Hillel International" according to his byline. See here re the Hillel group's involvement.
I haven't checked other locations where the Never Again for Anyone events were also held. But it'd probably be worth looking into that more closely... Oh, wait; there was evidently also some controversy around the tour's event at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee:
I also saw some criticism of the Never Again for Anyone events held in Canada and California, but only in obscure, possibly non-RS sources. Also, the org's own description of the Rutger's controversy can currently be found on the its subsidiary website, NeveragainForAnyone.com, while Rutger's official statement about the controbversy may also be of interest.
Please note that I haven't added any of the above to the article myself. I'm not spending as much time here as I have in the past, and find that I'm enjoying research more than composition lately, anyway. I hope other editors will feel free to use the sources I've documented here to contribute content to the article itself.  – OhioStandard (talk) 08:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
  1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
  2. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple,<ref name=Multiple /> third-party, independent, reliable sources.
Note that it is necessary for the organization to meet both criteria. Is the scope of IJAN's activities national or international? It hasn't been established that IJAN's activities are either national or international in scale. Can information about the organization and its activities be verified by independent reliable third-party sources? Presumably "information" in this context means, Who founded the organization?; When was it founded?; Where are its offices located?; How many members does it have?; Who currently leads the organization? etc. Outside of the organization's own publications and the writings of individuals variously affiliated with it, there's little or no information about the organization and its activities in reliable sources.—Biosketch (talk) 11:53, 26 October 2011 (UTC) Edited per request.—Biosketch (talk) 12:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC) Debolded per request.—Biosketch (talk) 11:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

It's not an independent RS as required, though.—Biosketch (talk) 12:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
RS do not have to be independant, as long as the information is not unduly self serving http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:IRS#Self-published_and_questionable_sources_as_sources_on_themselves. So for information like who set them up or When it ws founded they would be RS for.Slatersteven (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Just so, Slatersteven: policy says self-published sources are fine in this case for basic, non-controversial organizational information. And anyway, half the questions Biosketch says can't be answered from independent sources are actually independently documented in the very first source I listed : "The IJAZN (sic) was created in 2008 when Professor Moshe Machover and Selma James announced the adoption of the organization’s charter at a press conference in London." Different sources also verify this, along with related organizational information.  – OhioStandard (talk) 15:14, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Also, re national/international objection Biosketch raised, perhaps I gave him the wrong impression in a comment I made above about the organization's recent Never Again for Anyone tour. It didn't just take place at Rutgers; those tour/events were all across the U.S., in 15 major cites, and also included Toronto, Canada, as well.  – OhioStandard (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Not only in the US and Canada. In 2010, the tour visited Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, Vienna, Geneva, Berlin, Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Belfast and Dublin. RolandR (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Still, as User:Nableezy was honest enough to point out, FrontPage Magazine isn't considered a WP:RS as far as Knowledge (XXG) goes. The Admin considering this AfD needs to note carefully that per WP:NONPROFIT two criteria need to be met. Assuming good faith vis-a-vis User:RolandR's argument for international scope (I don't know where the sources are for all those cities, but supposing there are sources), we're still left without independent third-party reliable sources that give details about the organization and its activities.—Biosketch (talk) 11:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Re WP:NONPROFIT criterion one: No one here, including Biosketch, genuinely disputes that "the scope of their activities is national or international in scale". If he doesn't like their web site claims, or the press clippings there, well, we've already cited five separate WP:RS articles documenting one of its recent tour events in New Jersey, one WP:RS article for its event in Wisconson, and here's an as-yet-unmentioned source documenting the Toronto events and the ensuing controversy there. The org's recent U.K. events were also documented in WP:RS articles, e.g. this London RS article does so. Even tha Anti-Defamation League's own press-releases mention, in the past tense, about all the different places around the world this org has made these presentations.
Re WP:NONPROFIT criterion two: Can "information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources"? Information about its activities sure can, easily: We have an abundance of reliable source articles about its activities. I'd also like to see e.g. a "history of" article about the org that user Biosketch keeps insisting is necessary to meet this part of the standard, of course, but I'm not willing to say it isn't notable because we haven't found one. That just seems pretty far fetched when its activities get so much coverage and generate so much controversy. Organizations always get much more coverage for what they do than what they are, anyway; than for their structure & history. Besides, it would seem absurd to admit, as we can't avoid doing based on the press coverage, that their international presentations comparing the Holocaust with Israel's treatment of the Palestinians are notable, but the organization making them isn't.  – OhioStandard (talk) 13:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep. WP:NONPROFIT states ( non-commercial ) "Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
(1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
(2) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple 3rd-party, independent, RS."
This org clearly meets criterion (1), and re criterion number (2), it gets so much press ( 15+ articles ) for its activities that I don't much care that no WP:RS journalist appears to have done a "history" article on the organization yet. Further, I don't think this really needs the nudge, but I'll also go ahead and mention that a bit lower in the text for WP:NONPROFIT, the policy suggests that "Factors that have attracted widespread attention" ( which would appear to include generating emphatic controversy documented in national and international media ) are also relevant to notability.  – OhioStandard (talk) 14:34, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Created by Joe Faust about own organization, this article does not meet our general notability requirements, not does it meet WP:GROUP. In particular, a Google News, Scholar and Book search for "World Paragliding Organization" yield zero hits, while a Google web search reveals no coverage by independent reliable sources.

  • Yes, I started the article. I am a regular contributor to WP. I will step aside of this discussion while staying an observers, except when asked direct specific questions. There are RS in Popular Science, the 60-70s book of associations, Ground Skimmer, and the publications mentioned. Paper copies of Low & Slow went to 23 nations and are in some libraries today. Hang Gliding Museum has a full set of Hang Glider Weekly, Low & Slow, Hang Glider Magazine (218 editons together). USHPA publishes as said in the article. Joefaust (talk) 20:02, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete - The World Paragliding Association by definition should be a world-wide association. Of whom, I ask? This "association" is the creation of Mr Faust to promote his minority POV and nothing more. If you wish to see how true paragliding associations organise themselves and operate, check out the FAI, the USHPA, the BHPA or the PMA (and that's just 4 English language sites off the top of my head).

  • Delete Spam article. In addition, dishonest. Mentions FAI to give credibility but I believe is not formally recognised by same, refers to itself as the successor to USHGA but this body still exists having merely changed its name to USHPA. Jontyla (talk) 16:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't think this really matters, but while trying to understand his topic ban, JoeFaust mentioned that the article isn't dishonest; speaking as Joe Faust (the actual human being who registered the organization), apparently the history is a bit more complicated than that (and has to do with name changes on several sides). I'm not going to go into the details because it doesn't really have any bearing on the deletion discussion (because the exact ownership/recognition doesn't specifically say anything about notability) but we should be careful when we use words like "dishonest"; it's much better just to state that something is incorrect (with reasons). Qwyrxian (talk) 01:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Point taken. I withdraw 'dishonest' and put 'misleading' in it's place. Sorry Joe. Jontyla (talk) 02:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Very glad to see this. Whatever problems Mr. Faust may be having with complying with our guidelines, he's remained polite and respectful in the face of some pretty heated pushback, and we should acknowledge that, I think. Google reveals that he has played his own role in the history of hang gliding and we need to appreciate that; even if he may be having trouble complying with our editing policies, there's a real world person out there. So kudos for retraction and apology. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:08, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

The result was redirect to C data types. This is a close one, but the "Keep" votes are not very convincing - and one of them waffles into merge/redirect. Also, I'd like to adddress something: the OP's statement that it was just redirected to - the same as deleting it but without a afd. Specifically, that this is untrue. Redirecting has the page history present for accessibiity for merging or reverting; deleting makes content go bye-bye. The Bushranger One ping only 00:14, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Please show specific examples. As far as I can see, most of these books are programming manuals/teaching books which fail significant coverage criteria of WP:GNG, because if we remove the how-to part of the content, only very limited mention of limits.h is left. That notable material is already at C data types, no need for a separate page. 1exec1 (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't see this material in C data types. I see brief mention of some of the data types and one single mention of limits.h, but zero details. The coverage of this material simply does not fit into what WP:NOTMANUAL covers. This material does not explain "how to" do something. This material gives an overview and is precisely the type of thing our readers come to Knowledge (XXG) to get a brief overview of. Our notability guidelines also state: "The notability guidelines do not apply to article or list content " so the idea of "That notable material is already at C data types, no need for a separate page." has no place at all in this discussion. --Tothwolf (talk) 18:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Of course I didn't want to AFD it. The place for discussions like this is in the talk page, not here, since replacing the content with a redirect doesn't need attention of an administrator. 1exec1 (talk) 20:46, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Actually, bringing this to AfD was indeed the correct thing to do in this case, for the very reasons Christian75 brought it to AfD. --Tothwolf (talk) 18:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Furthermore, deletion of many other similar C programming-related articles (including among others, inttypes.h and tgmath.h ) by way of redirection is highly inappropriate. --Tothwolf (talk) 18:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
It's already in Wikibooks at b:C Programming/C Reference/limits.h. 1exec1 (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
The only thing this allows us to do is to add {{Wikibooks|C Programming/C Reference/limits.h}} to the external links. Any material which explains in detail how to apply limits.h to a software program can be included on Wikibooks (such material is not present in this article). --Tothwolf (talk) 18:38, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
While I believe this passes WP:GNG for the reasons you mentioned, I also believe this fits the exact and intended purpose of WP:NOTMANUAL. I.e it belongs on Wikibooks (b:C Programming/C Reference/limits.h) instead of Knowledge (XXG). Could you argue why you think this does not fit WP:NOTMANUAL instead of merely asserting it? —Ruud 09:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Just because someone has transwikied material which they believe fits in well with other material on another wiki does not mean it should exist in only one location. Could you argue why you think this fits WP:NOTMANUAL instead of merely asserting it? I've already stated my reasons, but the main argument that it is an "instruction manual" does not make sense as this material is an overview and does not explain "how to" actually do something. It also isn't a "travel guide", a "video game guide", an "internet guide", a "FAQ", a "textbook", a "scientific journal" or "research paper", "academic language" (it uses common usage), or "case study". I've begun to witness people again and again attempt to misapply WP:NOTMANUAL to more and more encyclopedic material seemingly for the purposes of creating "busy work" so that they can look active and this is not a good trend. --Tothwolf (talk) 18:23, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
While the specific phrases "how-to" and "owner's manual" don't adequately describe Limits.h, it belongs in a reference manual, not in an encyclopedia. I think #1 in WP:NOTMANUAL is the one which is relevant. As I read more carefully, I see that #8 in WP:NOTDIRECTORY also applies: "Knowledge (XXG) articles are not a complete exposition of all possible details. Rather, an article is a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject." Emphasis mine of course: knowledge includes facts but it's not just a list of all available facts. #3 in WP:INDISCRIMINATE says "Knowledge (XXG) articles should not be excessive listings of statistics." While it's written to discourage, say, publishing a list of the median income of every U.S. census-tract, its intent is relevant here. --Pnm (talk) 19:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
There exist many different kinds of reference works. There exist reference works listing the names and parameters of all functions of the standard libraries of hundreds of different programming languages (often called "language references", "programmer's guides" or simply "manuals", although these differ from the kind of "manual" that describe how to operate your microwave). An encyclopedia does not happen to be such a kind of reference work. An encyclopedia will give you summary of what the C standard library is, historical and other background information. A language reference gives you an in-depth description of each functions that makes up the C standard library. Knowledge (XXG) is an encyclopedia, Wikibooks hosts other kinds of reference works such as language references. —Ruud 23:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
The article is already merged to C data types, that is, the content is rewritten so that it fits into the layout of the target article. Please specify what exactly is in limits.h but not C data types and does not fail WP:NOTMANUAL. 1exec1 (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Despite those arguments, the material has not been "merged to C data types" and it absolutely does not "fail WP:NOTMANUAL". --Tothwolf (talk) 18:27, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-notable primary school. First reference is just a link to the school itself. Second doesn't really discuss the school, only the head teacher. Third reference does discuss school, but one reference in a local paper is not enough to meet WP:GNG. I prodded, but it was removed soon after; note that simply existing is not sufficient to have a WP article--the school must meet our notability rules (see WP:GNG).

Added a source

I added a source to identify the school, it is just as noteworthy as any other primary school in the UK.

  • Merge to Wellow, Hampshire. Fails to satisfy WP:ORG. Elementary schools , per common outcomes of AFD, get merged to their community's or school district's or sponsoring organization's article. Directory listings or run of the mill coverage in local papers do not satisfy WP:ORG. Edison (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Merge to Wellow, Hampshire. Unfortunately, the argument "it is just as noteworthy as any other primary school" doesn't matter because the established practice is that primary schools are not normally notable unless there is a good reason to be an exception. It shouldn't be too hard to put all the encyclopaedic information into the Wellow article. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:13, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • I should clarify that merging/redirecting is the appropriate result per standard AfD outcomes. I just knew that this would have to go through AfD (i.e., that if I simply redirected myself it would have been reverted), so the discussion to verify non-notability was necessary. Also, Chris Neville-Smith's point is very important: most primary schools are not notable, and any articles on other primary schools without independent notability should receive the same treatment. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Unnecessarily so, since the chances of anyone searching for them are pretty low! -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
You will need to get the community to change their opinion on primary schools then. Currently, the consensus is that, just like any other organization except for high schools and universities, must meet our notability requirements. Also, please note that SuperRepublic is almost certainly the same editor as User:MrAmberGold; an SPI is being opened right now. Qwyrxian (talk) 09:42, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Also, to clarify, the added source is still a primary source, so it still doesn't establish notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 09:53, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Once again, they are not. Primary schools do not generally have articles. Where have you seen articles on village primary schools on Knowledge (XXG)? -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Oddly enough, the sock (MrAmberGold blocked indef, SuperRepublic blocked a week) has a good point. Take a look at Category:Primary schools in Hampshire. For that matter, take a look at Category:Primary schools in England. OMG. Some of them are single line stubs; I've so far found only 1 with a reference. I'm going to start looking at these over the next few days. I'll probably just redirect every one that doesn't have good references, then XfD each one that gets undone. I guess I know what I'll be doing with my WP cleanup time for the next few days/weeks. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Either these articles should be deleted or they are exceptions for specific reasons of notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:53, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep - I have cleaned it up and added some sources; and there is more that can be added to meet WP:GNG. Most primary schools are nn but there are exceptions and I see no reason why this should not be one; it is a historic school with the Florence Nightingale connection and I think that the Project is better off with this article than without it. TerriersFan (talk) 03:42, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
It would be an exception if those sources established notability, but they do not. only lists the school in a list of 5 other schools, with no specific information about Wellow. The Romsey Advertiser article only mentions that the school is getting a new name on the library. The Diocese of Winchester article doesn't even mention the school by name, and all it says is that they have a plaque given by the Nightingale family. None of these sources actually talk about the school. In other words, the first source just mentions it as one of a number of schools with no special notability, and the latter two don't talk about it so much as a school as they do a place that happens to have some historical artifacts/connection to a historical subject (and, of course, notability is not inherited). Trivial mentions in a variety of local papers are not sufficient to meet GNG or any other test of notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

*Keep, I just happened to accidently click on this site and In my opinion I think it should be kept because it looks like it has some historical significance, being that it was founded by Florence nightingale and also there are other Primary schools on Knowledge (XXG) that have less significance than this, some are even just stubs being described by 1 simple sentence like this one and the next one only includes 2 paragraphs of information with little significance . I think it now meets WP:ORG as it it clearly states that if it's noteworthy and has references that are fully verifiable then it should be on Knowledge (XXG) (like it says on the policy), It is noteworthy and it has been cleaned up by TerriersFan.

Would this really be the most likely article that general readers would be looking for under the title "fully qualified"? My immediate reaction to seeing the title was that that this must be about accountancy, in which field, in the UK, job adverts typically specify whether applicants should be fully or partially qualified.

To avoid confusion it should start with "In computer science..."; other uses (accountancy was mentioned above) can be added later if deemed appropriate.

Disputed PROD. Concern was "No evidence at all of notability". The article describes a film that has not yet been released. Consequently, reliable third-party sources are triflingly few and distantly far between. Article does not assert notability. Subject fails WP:NF and, currently, WP:NFF. ClaretAsh 12:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails notability guidelines, not to mention that the article smacks of WP:ADVERT and especially WP:COI since the article's creator is producing the movie. They also advertised on their website that they started a page for their own movie on their facebook page. , I also noticed that someone removed the proposed deletion tag purely because they worked on the movie without actually improving the article. If/when the movie becomes notable it can be re-created, but at this point in time it isn't notable per the nomination reasons. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79

  • Userfy. As film is completed and slated for a release in 3 months, I think we might politely return this to its author for cleanup per WP:NotJustYet. When it is released and receives coverage, a return to article space can be considered. Toward showing its author what article format is preferred, I just went through and gave it a cleanup to address its tone and style. In userspace, I would hope he can continue based upon my work.

Hi there. The Barrow Group is a NYC theatre company that has been around for 25 years, has won a Drama-Desk award for off-Broadway Excellence, and plays that have been workshopped / produced there have been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize (i.e. Old Wicked Songs ) and OBIE award (i.e. The Tricky Part ). The Barrow Group School has trained actors who have gone on to great success, Anne Hathaway for instance, and these actors have credited the school as the institution that taught them how to act (Anne Hathaway: "The Barrow Group was the acting institution that taught me how to act" .)

At one point, I had entered a much longer description-- noting the awards and the productions that have been done there. However this was deleted by another editor as they stated that it seemed like advertising. The article was changed (with the help of the editor I think) to how it appears now. I agree that there is not much information, but I have not updated the article as I've been afraid that adding any more would get it deleted again. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

  • Keep A Google Books and Google News Archive search shows extensive coverage of this theater company over many years. The New York Times called it a "consistently rewarding Off Broadway troupe" here. In 20 years of serious reviews, the Times has used phrases such as "the Barrow Group's inaugural production in its new 99-seat theater on West 36th Street couldn't be much more ambitious" and "the material has given been the best production imaginable by the Barrow Group" and "the kind of taut, quick development one has come to associate with the Barrow Group's productions" and "the kind of imaginative, tight ensemble discipline one has come to expect of this troupe" and "a prestigious New York theatre company" and "the Barrow Group, which won the 1995 Drama Desk Award for best Off Off Broadway theater ensemble". These repeated references in dozens of in-depth reviews of their work, makes it clear that this theater company is notable. Cullen Let's discuss it 00:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I had previously nominated this article for speedy after not being able to locate significant reliable source coverage. Speedy nomination was removed citing the advice to "First look for sources & if not found, only then nominate for deletion." Since I had already done that prior to the original nomination, I am now bringing it to AfD. Perhaps someone else will have better luck turning up significant reliable source coverage.

  • The page has ridiculous over the top promotional language about stuff that may never happen and bland PR blather:
    • "These devices will be intelligent, autonomous systems-of-systems featuring sensing beyond human capabilities, computation, and communication. "
    • "Many important European industry sectors such as health, energy, environment, transportation, and security will profit significantly from these technologies."
    • "The range of multidisciplinary research results will lead to the creation of new start-ups and hence of new jobs."
    • "The GA flagship project will show the feasibility and functionality of devices in three pre-defined generations of demonstrators. The applications are based on the concept of a smarter life, e.g. a lifestyle that benefits from the instant availability of relevant information, more interconnectedness between devices fitted with all sorts of sensors, and intuitive usability."
    • "Emotional GAs featuring high data security and enhanced personal control will certainly lead to novel societal paradigms that allow improved cognition, communication and prevention."
  • It has been clearly written by a PR person. Anybody asking this to be kept as-is is making a mockery of Knowledge (XXG) as an encyclopedia instead of a collection of press relases. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 09:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

That has more coverage: FT, but also Nature doi:10.1038/news.2011.143 (There's a list of press articles on the EU FP7 site ). GA probably deserves a mention in an article about all the FET-F stuff. Of course, the guys submitting these pages to Knowledge (XXG) don't seem to care much about encyclopedic value and simply use Knowledge (XXG) as another venue for promotion.

  • Delete Both promotional and lacking in notability . Even after the deletion of almost all of the related articles on these projects, more keep being submitted, written in exactly the same style, by contributors who have done nothing else here.

Unless the copyright holder agrees to the terms of Knowledge (XXG)'s license i.e. essentially free use, republication, and adaptation of the material by anyone, including for commercial gain, then Knowledge (XXG) can't use it. Since you imply that this license hasn't been supplied yet, then as it stands the article is a copyright violation. Therefore I'm blanking the page for now.
Also, from what you say the copyright holder is either Baumann, Bantam, or McGraw (not Metabeauty) so Metabeauty has no authority to license the text for use. "Accepting responsibility" is not enough.
Anyway, that the material is "widely known" isn't enough. It has to be the subject of multiple and substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources. All I see is articles by Baumann and puff pieces.
Finally, even if it passes that test, there's no reason to use text that needs licensing. Do what other editors do, and write your own description.
Except you shouldn't do that, because you're connected with the subject and have a conflict of interest. If the Baumann skin types are indeed notable, someone else will write an article on them.

The notability of the subject was called into question with a notability tag and topic on on the entry's discussion page on October 19. As of October 22, no support for removing the notability tag had emerged. The tag was initially added as there was a total absence of substantial references; all references in the biographical entry were papers bylined by the subject of the biography itself. Further, the subject of the biography has been linking to this Knowledge (XXG) vanity biography in paid advertisements he's been taking out for his company. CentralError (talk) 05:24, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Total references provided by entry: 5. Of these, 3 are authored by the subject of the entry himself, 1 is an articles published in an online magazine that makes tangential and passing reference to the subject of the entry, the fifth is an interview of the subject of the entry himself published in aforementioned and same online magazine.

  • There is also the AAAI citation. But more brqadly, keep in mind WP:BEFORE no.2: it isn't just what is in the article, it is what can be found to verify notability. Hence the importance of the Google Scholar search, for example, AllyD (talk) 07:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment Looking at this a bit further, I'm baffled by the proposer's suggestion of "a total absence of substantial references" in the article as its exists. This is contradicted by the article's explicit referenced citation of the subject's 1992 election as an AAAI fellow. Because of that alone, I will be removing the Notability tag (whose addition was, I note, the proposer's first contribution to Knowledge (XXG)). AllyD (talk) 18:53, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Something odd here. A biography of a living person started about five years ago by a single purpose account with an apparent conflict of interest and with almost all the substantial editing since done from IP addresses or by other SPAs. Then a few days ago, another SPA slaps a notability tag onto the article in their first ever Knowledge (XXG) edit and puts it up for AfD just three days later. So, leaving the history aside, is the AfD justified? Well, the article is written in a rather over-promotional style and depends almost entirely on primary sources, which is scarcely surprising in an article with its history. But one of the facts in the article, the fellowship of the AAAI, seems to meet WP:PROF#3 - it's sourced from the awarding organisation, but we generally allow that. And deletion is meant to be decided on the notability of the subject, not the state of the article. And Googling on the subject's full name, Frederick Hayes-Roth, (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) rather suggests that the subject is indeed notable - and probably passes WP:PROF#1 rather handily, for work from about thirty years ago that scarcely gets a mention in the article. His work on commercial AI and expert systems in the 1980s and 1990s might also be notable, though if so the evidence must mostly be off-line. His more recent concerns might yet prove notable, but the evidence doesn't seem to be in yet. So on the basis of his early work, keep - but the article needs a rewrite to make this clear. PWilkinson (talk) 21:35, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep notable, but of course the article needs a total rewrite from a promotional resumé into an encyclopedia article.

Vote for keep. (Do you even know why?)
Looking through your edit history Zzyzx11, it appears you have not even participated in the article discussion at all and so your delete nomination is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the apparent "fork policy violation", and based on no other reasoning.
It appears you have no involvement in the improvement of this or the alternate version article. Do you even know why this article fork is needed, or doesn't it matter, only the "violation" matters? DMahalko (talk) 05:11, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

There is justification for having different organizational methods for content as global and all-encompassing as articles that attempt to unify widely varying standards which themselves make no attempt at trying to align with any particular standard.

Forking of article content is already wildly different across different language versions of the same content. I don't see people going on a delete rampage of other language wikis because the content differs from what is on the English wiki, or vice-versa.

Also the wikipedia policies are guidelines only, and exceptions may occur (WP:IAR). DMahalko (talk) 04:57, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Other language versions generally operate differently, with different users, and thus generate different consensus. A content fork is one of the items listed on WP:DEL#REASON. Your content fork currently duplicates word-for-word, almost 2/3rds of the original article, including the lead section, most of the history section, the content about unusual types, and so forth. This material is totally irrelevant to the AC organization issues. How can you guarantee that both articles will remain in sync? It's one thing to split such content into more detailed pages and use the summary style method; quite another to do a content fork that merely just reorganizes all the sections without changing a majority of the content. Also, WP:IAR only works in the long term if there is a sufficient number of users commenting to generate agreeable consensus, which is why I opened it here on AFD to generate a wider discussion, instead of just the two of us argue back and forth. Zzyzx11 (talk) 11:43, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Correct, the article contains duplication, and I WAS planning to trim it down to just the types section, but need time to think about how to do the trimming. Of course you're so damn triggerhappy with the delete button that there is no time allowed for such copyediting to occur. Sorry but I have to sleep sometime, and I have more to do in my life than sitting on here responding to other editors.
It appears the delete procedures have been violated by yourselves, as a week is supposed to be allowed if there is argument on the subject. Also how is anyone else supposed to participate in improving the fork, if it is removed so hastily without time for it to develop?
I will likely re-create the article as a user-page so there is time to shorten the article to the specific sections in question. DMahalko (talk) 02:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

This article is a four-year-old stub for an academic with no current evidence that he passes notability under WP:PROF. His main claim to notability, as far as I can tell, is that he has chosen to challenge the conventional thinking on climate change. I'm of mixed feelings about whether being an associate professor who promotes unorthodox views is by itself enough of a reason to give someone an article in Knowledge (XXG). I'm launching this AFD to see what other people think on the issue, and perhaps see if other people can expand the article to give a clearer sense of his notability if it exists.

5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research.
6. The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
Q Science (talk) 20:54, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
A museum head is definitely not the same as a named chair or distinguished professor. Per WP:PROF, criteria 6 is generally intended for university Presidents, Chancellors, and comparable positions, but does not usually include Provosts / Deans / Department Heads, etc. I would suggest that Museum Head is not a high enough level position to qualify. Dragons flight (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Kim. Per WP:N, notability is (to a degree) cumulative, and Segastad does have quite a number of (smallish) achievements. For geologists, the IGC is a pretty big deal. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 200+ wiki-notable geologists in attendance. Maybe S. was #199? Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 02:29, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Whether the Financial Post is a RS in general may be debatable. However, it has been well established that Solomon's series in particular is not. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 04:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Stephan, do you have a link to a RS discussion of this series? Or more details of your objection? I was confused by the FP masthead -- apparently this is part of Solomon's series that ran in the National Post, a sister newspaper. I recall something about a couple of scientists disputing their characterizations as "deniers," but the Solomon profiles I've read of scientists I'm familiar with seemed fair and reasonable. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 14:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
This has been debated in several places over time. However, going to primary sources, , , , should be plenty of evidence that this series does not have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Also note that the series originally was published as opinion pieces, not straight reporting. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:32, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment I agree with Colonel Warden: as WP:PROF itself says, if a person is notable per WP:GNG, then that trumps everything else. Having said this, even if accepting the "Solomon reference" about which others express doubts, then I still don't see enough coverage to satisfy GNG. --Crusio (talk) 15:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
It's worth noting that WP:FAILN says: "For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort." --Pete Tillman (talk) 15:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Comment at least two editors have argued for deletion based on WP:GNG. Please note the essay at Knowledge (XXG):Abuse of the General Notability Guideline in Deletion Discussions, which argues that "This is an improper use of the guideline, since it is a guideline for presuming notability, not a guideline for presuming non-notability." -- Pete Tillman (talk) 04:03, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
The "essay" referred to is a comparatively recent contribution by a sole editor. It itself is fallacious. Notability only exists if it can be demonstrated to exist. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:38, 29 October 2011 (UTC).
It also contradicts WP:FAILN: "Articles on topics that do not meet this criterion are generally deleted, although there are alternatives." which is part of the GNG guideline. I've nominated that WP:wikilawyering essay for move to user space, by the way. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 07:43, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Dream Focus 02:17, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
"He's notable because he's a climate change denier" is just as much rejected as a cause of notability as "She's notable because she's a woman" always has been. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:05, 30 October 2011 (UTC).

  • Weak keep. He seems to be notable in Norway for his public opposition as evidenced by the multiple articles which talk about that. Some of the coverage of him in Norwegian papers is no more than a sentence or two, but there's an interview with him in e24.no; the way that article starts, it makes it look like the editorial line of that publication is in the skeptical camp. Still, I suppose he is somewhat notable in Norway in general because of the published reactions to his stance. (I'm still a little suspicious because he has no page in the nowiki(s).) ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 12:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep The article has a list of good-quality sources, which I think is sufficient enough for a keep.

Disagree. I'm using the various "List of characters in..." articles as a guide in that minor characters redirect to the main character list. Mentioning the party at Yukon general election, 2011 seems reasonable, though.

  • Yes, that's true. I think he's not lacking in good faith, it's just that until such time as there are reliable sources as to the notability of the film, director and producer, his aim -- to promote their interests, albeit in a manner that as low-key and non-POV as possible -- is fundamentally at odds with our aim, to make sure that our coverage extends only to notable subjects. I have little doubt that if they keep on making films, they will pass the notability line at some point, I'm just not sure it's going to happen in the near future with this particular film -- and they're certainly not there yet.

  • WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I was prepared to dislike it too, until I actually looked at the list and was shocked to see how well sourced it is. And not to some self-serving Charvet press release, but in many cases to biographies, newspapers of record such as The New York Times and Le Figaro...plus annotations in many instances commenting on the subject's choice of Charvet clothing. Really this is better developed than most lists on Knowledge (XXG). The fact is that multiple reliable sources have taken note of who has been a Charvet customer. So I don't see a reason to delete here. postdlf (talk) 06:18, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment Mentioning one or two notable customers at Charvet Place Vendôme or at their own articles is justifiable if they are demonstrably representative either of the organisation's clientele or of the type of people who wears such clothes, or if their wearing of Charvet is a notable feature of their personality. However, is it necessary to mention every Charvet customer who happens to have an article on WP? ClaretAsh 09:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep The nominator seems to think its ok to use Knowledge (XXG) to tell us that he likes wearing orange. Coverage of clothing and fashion in neglected on Knowledge (XXG) and it shouldn't just be a place for trainspotters and other geek stuff. The article has a good historical perspective and is well sourced. It seems to be a spinoff from the main article Charvet Place Vendôme#Notable Clients and so the worst case is that we just merge back into that article. Deletion is therefore inappropriate per our deletion and editing policies. Warden (talk) 10:38, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete This article is an example of what happens when we follow an idea through to its logical conclusion. Yes, the article is a well-sourced spinoff with good historical perspective but that doesn't change the fact that it is still a mere list of customers. Am I the only one laughing at the ludicrousness of it all? I used to run a Subway store occasionally visited by local celebrities, and one of my co-workers went on to run a Subway once visited by Lady Gaga; should I create a List of Subway customers? I already know where to find reliable sources. Jokes aside, though, the fact that a reliable source exists is no reason for the content of that source to be added to WP. Notability is first asserted, then verified. This article appears to do the opposite, sources have been asserted regardless of whether there is any notable topic to which they can be attached. ClaretAsh 13:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
    • The notable topic is Charvet, and all of the customers listed are notable. So in my view, the only question remains whether this is trivia or valuable information about Charvet at a minimum, or about Charvet and its customers. If article size were not an issue, for example, would we want this list in the Charvet article? If so, then its split-off is merely a formatting decision, and we don't gain anything by insisting upon the independent notability of this list, whatever that would mean (though there apparently are multiple reliable sources giving significant coverage to who wears Charvet judging from the list's sources). It's quite a bit more selective than a list of Subway customers given that any schmoe with $5 can buy a sub, and they have over 35,000 locations worldwide, so that's not an apt comparison. Nor do I think you'll find sources stating that certain notable people only eat at Subway in the same way that you'll find notable people who only wear Charvet shirts, but you're welcome to surprise me. postdlf (talk) 16:33, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
    • ...and even with something as ubiquitous as a fast food chain, we do sometimes even note in a highly notable subject's article that they eat there. postdlf (talk) 18:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep Last time around I said to delete, but I've rethought this. In the case of famous purveyors such as these, the list of famous clients is sufficiently important and interesting to be encyclopedic contents. If we go by the GNG, the article is supported. I think similar lists for a few fashion houses might be acceptable also, but I continue to be a little concerned about how far this could be carried. DGG ( talk ) 23:05, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep as those that propose this deletion are acting with bias that does not run parallel with Knowledge (XXG) Guidelines. No thought of merging, expansion, clean-up, or use of appropriate mechanisms rather than deletion were considered before AFD. The Article in question does in fact have some useful content and at the very least should have gone through a standard cleanup, disputed, or expert-subject chain of consideration, opposed to it's instant Nomination for Deletion. I encourage Morbidthoughts to justify his acceptance of many other AVN and XBIZ references in numerous Articles including the Awards Section of which clearly has both and listed as Notable Articles / References, but then states that "references are trivial and any coverage fails because AVN and XBIZ are of limited interest and circulation" above when pertaining to PornstarGlobal . As stated on the Mediation Page, there are bountiful References Online in regard to PornStarGlobal some of which are / were listed within the Article, but not evident at all on Articles such as: for example. I would also like to encourage Morbidthoughts to validate his accusation above referring to my being an SPA. My validation of less than honest intentions lies within the visible * Delete votes - an example would be Carrite making the uninvestigated assumption that the Article is a "non-notable company, sources are nil, and it fails GNG", when in reality it carries twice the citation, reference, and notability weight as his own Company Knowledge (XXG) page Mutant Pop Records. Do I personally know Mark Hanford, one of the actual staples of the Mutant Pop vision, and Mutant Pop Radio Show DJ from Boise ID. in the 80's, yes. Would I propose Mutant Pop Records be deleted because of the lack of some obviously overlooked pertinent information, no, I would follow procedure and give it the benefit of the doubt without allowing personal opinion and favoritism to cloud my judgment.

  • First WP:CORP clearly states that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". This guideline is not in WP:BIO which may explain why the biographical articles like Ms. Karter can rely on coverage from these sources as indications of notability. As for the accusation that you are an SPA, the first substantive edits you made (starting June 1, 2011) were to promote pornstarglobal by adding their awards to multiple performer pages. When they were consistently removed from the biographies by other editors for being non-notable, you decided to create a page on pornstarglobal itself. It was only long after you were first accused of being an SPA that you began to diversify your edits. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:09, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry but I cant see any justification in the paragraph above as it only defines the exact concerns I was referring to. I was searching for this page as well: accused of being an SPA, but could not find it so I thank you for posting because it once again displays evidence of your bias in thinking that Article creation = promotion of Article subject, which it most certainly does not. One could dig deeper and assume there is technically no way to avoid promotion completely when creating a public Article. I don't feel I need to explain why I chose this particular subject / site to write an Article about nor do I understand your reasoning in that active participants in the Knowledge (XXG) Community should not diversify their edits. It seems to me as if you simply jumped the gun and didn't have time to scan over my contributions before hastily nominating this Article for Deletion and making unwarranted accusations because of your past issues with these people. Aside from the improper course / chain of deletion you displayed, I would say you hadn't done any research at all, because if you had you would know that there have only been 2 award winners, not multiple. I felt that going back and trying to make the Article better the 2nd time around would be beneficial, and again, their URL has never been posted anywhere on the Article nor the 2 award winners pages. I get the impression that no matter what happens, you made a choice to dislike these individuals 3 years ago and will never have an open mind to anything related to their name.

  • Delete. Fails WP:CORP and WP:WEB without substantial reliable source coverage. The article's references from porn industry press (AVN, XBiz, etc.) are regurgitated press releases. My search for independent coverage yielded just passing mentions. • Gene93k (talk) 19:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-notable music group. Creator even said they are "up and coming", which is a red flag to me. No references. Fails WP:Notability (music). EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 20:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
