Non-notable sorority. Few chapters, limited to a single state, not recognized by any Greek umbrella group. Fails WP:GNG (as lacking coverage) and WP:ORG. The article is full of puffery and boosterism. GrapedApe (talk) 23:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Autobiography. I have not nominated it for speedy deletion as I am not sure that it fails to meet the "importance" criterion, as he has a Ph.D and has published articles in many journals. Joshua1995 (talk) 23:42, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

This article about a film actor was started in 2007, but in 2009 was vandalised by two IPs who introduced a lot of silly nonsense. No-one noticed (except that later that year IPs tried to blank it, but were reverted) until recently it was tagged for deletion as a hoax. Having restored the last good version, I checked to see whether the subject's career had progressed since then, but it seems not, see IMDb. I can't find any trace of "The Bond 2", Cheers Butt Productions doesn't seem to have done anything since 2006 and their website says "The company at this present time is not creating any films". The top four entries here are about him, but the first one is a deadlink and the others don't show any significant or recent activity. This does not meet the notability standard of WP:NACTOR.

Fails NOTNEWS, PERSISTENCE, VICTIM, and likely EVENT. This article was written in a two-day period in 2012, based on Norwegian language Internet sources dating from around the time of the incident (February 2010). Aside from the contemporary coverage in February 2010 at the time of the event, and two short pieces on the trial outcome and denied appeal, there are no indicators that this case has achieved any sort of notability.

  • weak keep - reliable sourcing, got alot of broad coverage around the time it happened. And the continued coverage even two years later indicates notability. How it was written is non-essential to the notability of it and ofcourse most sources comes from 2012 when it happened again not cause for deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Notability not yet established in accordance with WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. It appears that the films involved minor roles, rather than significant ones. Of the four sources provided, three are IMDb and the other doesn't mention the subject at all. A search for additional sources didn't find anything better. Cindy(talk to me) 06:17, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

In Attack The Block and My Brother's Keeper (Or How Not To Survive The Apocalypse) he had leading roles also his appearences in Casualty were quite significant, as his story arc took place over two episodes. And in Payback Season he may not of been a main character but his role wasn't minor. I can find other sources to provide the same information other then IMDb and the source that doesn't mention him was used as a source for the release date of a film. -SayPeanuts (talk) 14:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I have now provided 15 sources. -SayPeanuts (talk) 19:39, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete Providing 15 sources, or 100 sources, is no better than providing two sources unless those 15 or 100 sources of of good quality. Seven of the sources merely list Alex Esmail in a credit list or something similar, a couple don't even mention him, others are unreliable sources such as YouTube and IMDb, one of them does no more than show his date of birth, one is a very brief note about him at at pnrnetworks, which does not seem to be a reliable independent source, and in any case the note is too insubstantial to do anything significant towards showing notability. We are left with two good sources, namely articles about the cast of Attack The Block in The Guardian and Zimbio. In both of these, Esmail occurs as one of several people referred to, and the combined content about him amounts to nowhere near the kind of substantial coverage in multiple sources required by the notability guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. His role in Attack the Block was not a minor one. We don't have enough for a detailed biography, but his roles so far are sufficient that an article is borderline justified. Perhaps incubation may be best as it seems likely that his role in Northern Soul may tip the balance. --Michig (talk) 08:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

No apparent notability. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Your standpoint is incomprehensible. Komár was a well-known singer in Hungary, also called the "Elvis of Hungary".

Google book - about 995 results. -- Norden1990 (talk) 12:56, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I count 24 there, and only five show the search term in the result. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:29, 22 October 2012 (UTC) Several (including Dylan Thomas' "Portrait of the Artist As a Young Dog" and Emile Zola's "Nana") were written before this guy was born. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:32, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
The Eastern name order is used in Hungary. --Norden1990 (talk) 11:51, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, and it's used in the link you provide above. This link shows 24 results. Perhaps Google is "personalizing" or regionalizing our results differently, and that's why you see 995 results. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC) In fact, it's only showing 21 for me today. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:36, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Norden1990, it would be better if you could list a few specific sources found by that search with significant coverage of the subject, rather than just link a search. Just now when I looked Google Books gave me 46 hits, so we clearly all see different results. If my Hungarian was better I would be able to evaluate those results properly, although even with my very limited understanding I can see that this book descibes Komár as the "Hungarian Elvis". If you can provide some more such sources then I'm sure we'll be able to keep this. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:38, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Just for clarity's sake, my result numbers are how many Google actually listed (for me), not the "About ______ results" indicator. I have no idea how that thing guesses, but it's usually way off, I find. Searching "The Hungarian Elvis" gets me "about 10,400 results". Even after including similar omitted results, I actually get 149 (or about 10,251 fewer than advertised). InedibleHulk (talk) 06:21, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Seemingly non-notable university assistant coach. Could find no news articles with which to establish notability or significance. - MrX 02:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep - Please help me with this article to improve it, not delete it. I've added more information and references, but I'm new to wikipedia and don't know how to reference inside an article. All the information in the article was gathered from the links in the reference section. This coach is an assistant coach and was a head coach at the highest level of college football, Division I. He was also head coach at the highest level of high school football in Louisiana. I did a quick 5 minute search on people who were already on wikipedia but just assistant coaches at lower levels of college football than Rebowe(non-Divison I) and found the following: Craig Stump–Texas State, Chad Glasgow–Texas State, Don Shows–Northwestern Louisiana, Mike Nesbitt-McNeese St, Ronnie Thompson-Lamar. If they can be included then please allow Tim Rebowe to stay on wikipedia. I feel he can be considered at the pinnacle of his profession as a college coach b/c he was also a head coach. Not everyone coaches in NFL. Many well-known and very well-respected football coaches stay at the college or even high school level. As an assistant college coach, your responsibilities include helping to win games, improve offense/defense/special teams, develop players for the NFL and recruiting players to your university. The articles and references show he won games, improved defense/special teams, put many players in NFL and is a top recruiter. Lastly, this helps expand the articles of 3 college football teams in wikipedia. More information on a topic the better as long as it can be verified, correct? I know I'm not great at writing articles in Knowledge (XXG), but I do know what a successful well-known assistant coach looks like. Once again, please help with this article b/c Tim Rebowe has the credentials required to be in Knowledge (XXG). To show that he meets notable American college football assistant coach or head coach, I added mutiple articles and coverage of him from ESPN, Fox sports, Baltimore Sun newspaper and Hartford Courant newspaper. I also added a reference/article that he was acting head coach at Nicholls State besides head coach at University of Louisiana-Monroe. Two head coaching jobs. Last thing I want to say is regarding me, not the article. I'm new to wikipedia, but not new to college football. It has been a passion of mine since I played in college 18 years ago. After covering, playing and knowing many people that have coached in college, I feel I have great perspective on who is notable in college football. Please keep this in mind when reviewing the article. Thanks for reviewing and providing input. Spatms (talk) 14:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC). Spatms (talk) 23:29, 5 December 2012 (UTC).

  • Delete - apart from this very brief mention in a local newspaper I can't see any coverage either. The article doesn't make any great claims of importance - he's only an assistant coach, after all. Sionk (talk) 13:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Paul, the only mention I see of "head coach" in his various team profiles is at the high school level. If he held an interim head coach position, I don't see it. Am I missing something? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Nevermind, Paul. I think I solved that minor mystery. The only mention I can find of Rebowe as "head coach" is in the Knowledge (XXG) article itself. He may have served as the temporary head coach after the 2002 season, but apparently never actually coached in a game. Please see List of Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks head football coaches and College Football Data Warehouse's list of ULM coaches here. Another ULM assistant, Bobby Collins, finished the 2002 season for the previous head coach. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:23, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable American college football assistant coach. Subject does not satisfy the applicable specific notability guideline, WP:NCOLLATH, nor is there sufficient depth of coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

  • Keep. Several articles covering him in Louisiana newspapers. One national feature from the Associated Press picked up by ESPN as well. He was an interim or acting head coach at both Nicholls State and UL-Monroe. Marginal, but enough on balance to meet WP:GNG IMO. Cbl62 (talk) 03:30, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete, still not notable according to the strict criteria of college athletics. Also, how is it possible this coach has a wiki entry when his team doesnt? --Phazakerley (talk) 05:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
A college athlete/coach doesn't have to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. Satisfying WP:GNG is enough. Also, not sure what you mean when you say his team doesn't have a wiki entry. The Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football have multiple wiki articles (e.g., 2012 Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football team, 2011 Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football team, etc.) and play at the highest level of college football -- Division I FBS. Cbl62 (talk) 05:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Sorry your right. For some reason there was no link from his entry to his own team's entry. But now I read his team's entries none of them mention him! Anyway its a side issue, there are pretty strict criteria for an asst. coach to be notable, which he doesnt seem to meet. WP:NCOLLATH --Phazakerley (talk) 08:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

He was a head coach in college football not just an assistant. Plus well-known is a criteria. He falls under this requirment. Spatms (talk) 20:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC).

Spatms, did you pick up on the fact that while the subject was an acting head coach, he never actually served as the head coach for a regular season college football game? The subject's entire career as an acting head coach was during the off-season, following another interim head coach who finished the previous regular season, and before a new permanent head coach was appointed to start the next regular season. As such, WikiProject College Football does not support a presumption of notability in favor of the subject, nor do WP:NSPORTS or extend such a presumption of notability. In the absence of an applicable specific notability guideline, the subject must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, which require that notability be demonstrated by substantial coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Otherwise, the the subject's notability has not been established, and the article should be deleted. "Well-known" doesn't have anything to do with it. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC) College athletes.

Dirtlawyer1, Here's what I did pick up. He meets this criteria: Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. He has been covered by ESPN, multiple major city newspapers, etc... If you do not feel these sources should be considered “multiple, independent, reliable sources”, that's fine. We all have our opinions. I’m just not sure where you would go to find coverage that is considered “multiple, independent, and reliable” in the United States outside of these sources. Please keep in mind, American college athletics are mostly covered by U.S. media sources. Those with knowledge of college athletics would most assuredly agree that ESPN is one of the leaders if not the leader of college sports coverage. Major city newspapers aren’t too far behind ESPN and are considered by many to be on the same level. Here's what I also picked up. There are many assistant coaches and head coaches already on Knowledge (XXG) that don't come close to having Rebowe's credentials on the high school or college level. A very small percentage of football players make the NFL. If you closely read Rebowe’s article, you will see that he coached a pretty sizeable amount of players who made the NFL. I have also previously mentioned that I am very well qualified to judge notability when it comes to college football. If you see me commenting on legal issues, please feel free to question my credentials. I have little to no expertise in that field. Spatms (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC).

Film has not entered production per WP:NFF. I would boldly redirect, but there is no obvious location to point towards; this may be a good candidate for incubation. BOVINEBOY2008 02:15, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Article is essentially a dictionary definition bordering on tautology. Although I coild find many instances of tank monuments, I am unable to find significant coverage about this type of monument. Whpq (talk) 12:46, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep Our WP:DICDEF explains the issue "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written. Another perennial source of confusion is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead editors to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent.". That's what we have here - a short stub. I found it easy to expand and have made a start. See WP:IMPERFECT. Warden (talk) 13:22, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I don't really see what your expansion changes. The article now contains the self explanatory definition of the term and then a few examples, with no discussion of the greater topic outside of listing examples.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:58, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete There are certainly tank monuments, but I can't see how this can become more than a dicdef combined with an example farm. There are also many monuments with statues of horses or wreaths, but without significant coverage of tank monuments in general (and not of just individual ones that have tanks) this does not need an article. That being said, it could potentially exist as a logical merge and redirect to an article on monuments or war monuments.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete. There's no significant coverage of them that I can find. Alternatively, merge and redirect to War memorial#Types. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:46, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - while we would probably need something more substantive by way of sources, this document explains what they are and how they come to be. We would have to be careful what we conclude from a document that is effectively a primary source but the aim of posting here was more to give some context to the discussion. In Australia we seem to refer to them as Tank memorials so if the article is kept then perhaps Tank memorial could be redirected there too. I wouldn't strongly object to a merge to War memorial#Types but I think the type of memorial is worth explaining in its own right. Stalwart111 04:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
  • No, you're spot on. It's about a particular proposal but the report goes into some of the context and history. But it was not designed to be a commentary on these memorials generally - it only gives that context because Councillors being asked to consider the proposal need to understand it. As I said - not a great source, just some context for this discussion. Stalwart111 06:52, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment - The expansion of the article with a list of examples of tank monuments does not address the reason for deletion that this type of monument has not received coverage in independent reliable sources. The primary source listed above also really fails to address this adequately. The material or items selected for a monument often are related to what is being memorialised. The selection of a tank for a military monument is thus unsurprising. What makes the tank a distinct and substantial sub-topic of monuments? -- Whpq (talk) 12:49, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete But give the info in both tank and war memorial. Kitfoxxe (talk) 06:24, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep I have just done a bit of research, and there is at least one book on Tank Monuments, and many articles. I think if someone had the time they could beef this up (certainly at the moment it is too thin) and make an interesting article. Seems, from quick scanning, quite a lot of aspects of tank monuments - moving them, insurance, what they represent, locals getting annoyed. Interestingly, the article "Azaryahu, Maoz - FROM REMAINS TO RELICS: AUTHENTIC MONUMENTS IN THE ISRAELI LANDSCAPE" discusses tanks destroyed and remaining on the battlefield, that have become monuments (as opposed to ones that are moved into a park near an RSL/veterans club. Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:21, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Hmm. So I just looked through this article on JStor, and while it is certainly interesting, it is certainly not a book on tank monuments. It seems to suffer from the same issues as the other sources mentioned: it doesn't discuss the concept of tank monuments outside of the Degania monument. The details you mentioned all seem to be about this specific tank, not about tank monuments in general.--Yaksar (let's chat) 12:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Question Hey everyone, I was just doing some searching again and I'm still struggling to find sources that discuss the topic as a whole rather than specific cases of monuments with tanks. If found such coverage would probably be enough to change the !votes of a few voters, myself included. The sources people have given so far don't seem to fit this, but I'm just one person so I wanted to see if anyone else came to the same conclusion on them? Thanks!--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:13, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
  • That being said, it does look like the majority of !voters here are in favor of some sort of merge of information to the main memorial article, so maybe a consensus is emerging here regardless.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I can only speak for myself, but I would !vote keep in a heartbeat if such hypothetical sources were to surface. As is, I'm saying merge, but I'd much rather see a stand-alone article. Angrysockhop 07:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

  • merge for now into war memorial. Clearly a searchable topic, but virtualy no generic information, so the article is hardly expandanble beyond a list of tank monuments. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article can certainly be expanded with verified examples (I have added a couple myself) so I would favour keeping it. However, I understand the point that no one has found substantial coverage of the topic. Now, I feel that encyclopedias are here to expand our minds and not constrict them so I have no sympathy at all with a "delete" of pertinent, referenced, curated information. On the other hand, it is not good to have a plethora of snippity articles so a merge may indeed be attractive. My difficulty in this case is practical. Merging with war memorial would leave that article unbalanced; merging with tank I can't see working at all; merging with gate guardian would be absolutely fine except this article does not yet have an example! (Though Fort Knox could help out). WP:GNG is a guideline and only says what is presumed notable and not what is required by policy for an article's existence. In this case I think it best to allow the article to continue. Thincat (talk) 00:42, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure that a merge with war memorial would leave it too unbalanced, since we would merge the definition but not the entire list of examples. We would only need to emphasize memorials that themselves are notable, and not just memorials to notable events.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to War memorial#Types. I have no doubts as to the topic's notability, but I feel with the current dearth of generic information on the subject there's no need for a stand-alone article. That said, I think the topic as a whole does merit an article; if some one were to add detailed and reliably sourced generic information (as opposed to more example farming) then I would much rather see this article kept. Angrysockhop 06:30, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge into Gate guardian for those that are not actual war memorials. MilborneOne (talk) 20:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment - except it isn't, and it isn't. So what if an amateur football match was played there. There are no references, even the league page has no citations regarding the location of these matches. The Irish league is not fully professional and this level was for mainly reserve teams of amateur teams. Furthermore, this is a useless content fork from A Championship, a defunct league for mainly reserve teams of amateur teams that played for four seasons. I would say that is a strong indicator that the topic does not warrant inclusion. In case you aren't familiar with WP:LISTCRUFT, among other points: The content is unverifiable or the underlying concept is non-notable, you wouldn't expect to find such a topic in an encyclopaedia.

Article about an genre of art that does not seem to notable and is possibly a neologism. The article is completely unsourced, and has a list of external links which purport to serve as notable examples. - MrX 19:56, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • DeleteThe 'definition' given is so broad as to be meaningless: this is a non-notable neologism, and one with poor etymology at that. And, with the exception of Richter, the 'notable' artist are not notable.TheLongTone (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete The minimum that one would expect is that the given references should mention the genre that is the subject of the article; they don't. And from the text and examples, one would assume that any artist who ever does image editing (which is probably just about everyone nowadays: I know none who don't) falls into the "genre" of this article; there is already a relatively decent article at Digital art - no need for this one.

  • Delete I agree with the rationale given by the other editors above -- this is an overly broad term, most likely a neologism, that has no credible sources, clumsily applied to an artist like Richter who happens to include digital media in his later work. This is clear cherry-picking of names and unrelated sources in order to establish this term. As such, this would count as original research as the sources don't mention the term.

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

Obscure term. I believe this subject is about higher production values in television, but the article sets up its own rules for what is "cinematic," which is purely original research. The page cites a collection of TV articles, many of which don't even use the phrase "cinematic television." -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete As synthesis and original research. This is an interesting one - the sole authoritative source for the term at this point (and at the time of the previous AFD) seems to be the Edinburgh International Film Festival, which created a 'strand' (a category?) for high-value, high-budget TV shows. However, a single source does not an industry term make. The rest of the web references are a mix of slightly RS and definitely non-RS sites, along with a few news mentions. I will note that I got exactly two hits in Google Books when searching for the precise term "cinematic television", which is not encouraging. We know what this term refers to, of course. That is not the issue. The problem is that, from an original research standpoint, the author(s) took the concept as promoted by the EIFF, did a Google search to find further mentions in a few news sites and blogs, and then added a list of TV shows that are known to have cost over $X to produce. Voilà, now we have Knowledge (XXG) promoting the term, rather than documenting it. Show me a single authoritative, reliable source tied to research or the TV or film industry that treats this topic the same way as the article, that uses the same language and examples, and I'll reverse my !vote in a second. As this stands now, it's synthesis and OR, and so it belongs in a blog somewhere, not here. §FreeRangeFrog 20:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete agree with both the nominator and FRF, this is pure original research and synthesis. I tried to clean up the article, but looking at what is left behind I think Knowledge (XXG) is a better place without it. --Biker Biker (talk) 23:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete No improvment from the first AfD, where I also chose to delete; term solely used by television essayists rather than normal industry types and critics and certain persons pushing the term. A TV show could be made for a billion dollars an episode and it's still very rarely put on a film screen, and the "History and origins" section is hardly neutral, much less correct (no cites that Love Boat guest actors were calling the show "a step down" except for pop culture snark-types thinking it, reality television didn't begin in earnest until 2002, and the details about television production compared to cinema are so simplistic as to be a laughable description). Finally, the "see also" for television film, a dying form of genre on television outside of HBO and Lifetime films, is a terrible concept to compare with this in any way.

Drmies (talk) 18:48, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
    • The first academic study that you mentioned is available on Google Books and does not even contain the full phrase "cinematic television." Regardless, while you have included sources that do have the words "cinematic" and "television" next to each other, I and perhaps the other editors who have commented here would argue that Knowledge (XXG) should not include an article for every term coined in a few academic journals. Even with the sources you've cited, the term "cinematic television" does not have significant usage. Fails WP:NOTNEO. -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
      • You misunderstand, with your emphasis on NEO. Encyclopedic articles aren't about words but about concepts. If an academic study says that a certain book (such as the one you linked) discusses the subject of what is termed "cinematic television", whether or not they put those words in that order, then that book talks about cinematic television. Pure and simple. Drmies (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
        • The article and its claims like foreshadowing, "rounder and well-developed" characters, and themes like drug use equate to "cinematic" television are still purely original research. An article discussing the 'concept' of greater production values in television is still not encyclopedic enough for this project, since technology will always improve over time. Either way, we cannot disregard the formal term used here, as "cinematic television" is most certainly a neologism. I would consider Marty "cinematic," but under the arbitrary original rules of this article, it isn't. -- Wikipedical (talk) 00:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
          • I hate to put it like some of the old ARS warriors used to, but AfD is not for article improvement. Honestly, I have no investment in the article in its current state, which is the nicer way of saying I don't care for it.

Article created by a single purpose account, seemingly to promote Gratton (aka grattongirl) and her husband Dean Anthony Gratton (aka grattonboy). Author has been given plenty of opportunity to improve the article but continues to make it highly promotional and remove clean-up templates. Subject is a self-styled 'social media persona' and her 'notability' here relies almost entirely on WP:PRIMARY sources linked to her, or sources written by herself or her husband. She is briefly mentioned in a local newspaper article about her husband. Article is currently an advert that fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 13:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

The only two bluelinks are the "Shorty Award" and the "Blogcritics". Referring to the guideline on WP:ANYBIO the person has to receive the award, not just be nominated for it. Also, I don't see any evidence that she made a widely recognised contribution over on blogcritics. So according to my points of view I believe this article fails WP:BIO.

  • Delete - like her husband, I just can't see how the subject is notable. The sources are questionable at best; one is used to tenuously "reference" the word "celebrity", though it's not clear how that reference verifies the subject's celebrity status. Another is used to verify the wedding date of the two subjects in question but actually suggests they were married in 2000, while both articles say 1999. I can only imagine that someone with a close connection to the subjects has written the articles while the author of the source may have been mistaken. Either way, it makes for some pretty questionable drafting. While those aren't reasons to delete an article, it just adds to the suggestion that the article is a breach of WP:RESUME and is about a non-notable subject. Stalwart111 03:09, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

fails WP:BIO and WP:CRIN. Yes he has an exciting one match career, but that was not a major game defined in WP:CRIN. as WP:CRIN points out, one major match eg county cricket must be played not first class. Cambridge uni did not play in the 1999 county season http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/1/PPP_Healthcare_County_Championship_1999.html . Rest of article looks like blatant resume. LibStar (talk) 10:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. All first-class matches are defined as "major" per WP:CRIC#MAJOR. Sajdeh played in a first-class (i.e. major) match as defined by both Cricinfo and Cricket Archive, therefore he is notable under the agreed guidelines at WP:CRIN. I'm not sure how the rest of the article can be considered more of a "blatant résumé" than any other biographical article on Knowledge (XXG). IgnorantArmies – 12:39, Monday December 10, 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per IA. Matches of first-class status meet WP:CRIN. Also, Cambridge University are not permitted to take part in the County Championship, but did play in the 1999 English cricket season. The university sides typically play a handful of first-class matches at the beginning of a season (I much preferred just OU and CU!). Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 18:53, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

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

This subject has absolutely no notability at all by Knowledge (XXG)'s notability standards. Two references are cited. I have downloaded a copy of the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCoursey. It does not mention "Golgi voltage gates" anywhere. In fact, it does not mention the word "Golgi", nor either "voltage gates" or "voltage gate". The other paper is not available for free, but the abstract makes no mention of this concept, so if it is mentioned it is unlikely to be central to the paper. A Google scholar search for "Golgi voltage gates" produced nothing at all. A general Google search produced nothing at all except this Knowledge (XXG) article and pages derived from it either on Knowledge (XXG) or on other wikis. (E.g. "Articles lacking sources from December 2012" on Speedy deletion Wiki.) Thus the best we have is a single research article which may or may not mention the topic, and if it does mention it does not give it substantial enough coverage for it to be mentioned in the abstract. We certainly do not have the substantial coverage in multiple third party reliable sources that are needed to satisfy Knowledge (XXG)'s notability guidelines. I have also searched for other concepts referred to in the article, such as "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", and found nothing at all except in Knowledge (XXG) and mirrors of Knowledge (XXG) pages. The article was once nominated for speedy deletion as a hoax, and the complete impossibility of finding any mention at all anywhere of either the subject of the article or any of several concepts mentioned in the article is very surprising, and raises the possibility that the characterisation as a hoax may be correct. The article cites the paper by Cherny, Markin, and DeCourse as a source for the statement "The mechanism for the attachment of a vesicle to a Golgi Voltage Gate is known as the GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", but that paper does not mention "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", nor even "GVG-Vesicle" or "Co-joining". At best we have a concept mentioned in one research paper that does not show up in Google scholar or anywhere else as far as I can make out. At worst, and in my opinion far more likely, we have a hoax. A PROD was removed by the author of the article. The article was created by a single purpose editor with no edits not related to this topic. Another single purpose editor who has also edited this article wrote on the talk page "Just because this is a fresh area of biochemical research, please don't assume its falsity." JamesBWatson (talk) 10:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - The full text of the nature paper also has no mention of either "Golgi voltage gates", "GVG-Vesicle Co-joining Mechanism", or "Ubiquitin-Proton Ionotropic Complex". Searches within the text for both Ubiquitin and Golgi reveal no hits at all. The paper is just about the structure and lipid interactions of a Voltage-gated potassium channel, which bears no relation to anything that's talked about in the text of our article. I strongly suspect that this is a hoax given that no reliable sources can be found for the content, and the two reliable sources cited seem not to verify anything in the article. If this is a "fresh area of biochemical research" at least show us a paper that verifies some of the content, my searches for such a paper have been fruitless. Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 11:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Also, strange that a "fresh area of biochemical research" has a citation for its subject to a paper published 17 years ago. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - this does look like a definite hoax; the piece is short and perhaps intentionally technical-sounding; the references look vaguely plausible but turn out to be a smokescreen; the creating user is a new SPA; oh, and the user was welcomed to WP by an IP editor, also only involved here and on Ubiquitin-Proton Ionotropic complex (should also be deleted, can it be added here to this AfD please if it doesn't die by PROD), apart from welcoming another SPA user. It smells totally fishy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete There exist voltage-gated channels localized to the Golgi apparatus, for instance, the GPR89A, GPR89B, and GEF1 genes. Of these, BioGraph shows that GPR89A has annotations for both "voltage-gated" and "Golgi-associated vesicle membrane". But none of these shows any evidence of the joining mechanism in the article. I agree that the references do not verify the description in the article. Without the references, and with no evidence that I could find in either the literature or the annotations, either this research is too new to appear in the literature and WP:TOOSOON applies, or this article is a fabrication. Either way, it should be deleted. Mark viking (talk) 14:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Cited only to a blog entry, I'm not sure how much this article can be trusted! An American 'seductive' cartoonist also named Bill Ward died in 1998 - is there some confusion?

  • Delete Article does not meet WP:V. Even if it did, nothing in the article indicates that this person meets WP:ARTIST. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep The article meets verifiability because the biography of the artist is published online. The artist is a creative professional who published books for children but was best known for creating a style of figurative art that played a role in the creation and definition of several subcultures of the gay community. From the late 1970s to the early 1990s Bill Ward's art was well known and pervasively exhibited and cited in the gay community in general as well as for Leather and Levi and Bear community events known at the time as Girth and Mirth. The American artist Bill Ward cited above was a heterosexual who drew women, not a homosexual who drew men. The two genres are different. Attempts to delete this page amount to a kind of ongoing cultural war as homosexual art and media had to be kept secret and underground during these times and Bill Ward along with most of his audience died of HIV/AIDS before treatments became available. The idea is that by making life difficult for gay people during those times the history can become blurred and then later erased. Records of these works during this time are not well preserved because this desire to delete what was not respected has been strong from the start. Is the goal of Knowledge (XXG) only to document what is relatively popular and cited through multiple sources, or are culturally relevant works worth recording? Gay culture and politics play a significant role in society and Bill Ward's work prominently documented an influential minority during a period of struggle. People weren't able to talk openly about this material when it was contemporary, then there was a mass die off. This is an exceptional circumstance that makes documentation difficult. Recently I have found what might be citable material at jackfritscher.com, cuirmale.nl, duskpeterson.com, vintagegaymagazines.com, drummerarchives.com, colorsofleather.com, and some other sites, but have not had time to plow through this material to look for specific works and references to Bill Ward. If it is so important to have better citations then maybe people could work on that? Deleting this material is not going to serve Knowledge (XXG) well and only denies the curious valid information about the history of an oppressed subculture. Please think carefully about this before deleting the article. M0llusk (talk) 02:11, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Of the 63 references, 57 are primary sources from poly.edu, nyu.edu, or the center's own website. Does not appear notable enough for its own article, but warrants a paragraph or two at Polytechnic Institute of New York University. 72Dino (talk) 21:38, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete There is not yet enough material here to justify the split; perhaps there might be but it will first have to be written based on third party sources. The Bioengineering Institute may well justify an article, but it can't possibly do that one until they actually build it: it's scheduled for 2015. CUSP already has an article, but since it will not open for another year, it should also be nominated for deletion. We need an article on Jasper Kane, who has a full editorial NYT obit, and I will write one. The Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology may be worth an article, but the present source is a reprinted press release. Most of the content is just a list of NYU-poly discoveries,with no adequate explanation why they are particularly important. some are suitably mentioned in the main university article.

No reliable sources by Kevin12cd Talk to me This was posted at 23:23, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep If an article doesn't have a "reliable source" does that mean it's not notable? I'm unclear here as to why this is criteria for deletion. And anyway, there is a reliable source in the article - from the AMPAS website clearly stating he was nominated for an Academy Award. That sounds notable to me. He also has credits on more than 60 other films too. Lugnuts 07:57, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm going to chip in a little here. I know that normally award nominations aren't considered to contribute notability since they didn't win, but somewhere along the lines I seem to remember hearing that the extremely notable awards such as Academy Awards contributed notability even if they didn't win. I'll check around and see what I can find on that, but if he was nominated then there should be at least something out there.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
  • The stuff I'm finding is pretty far archived, but what I am seeing so far shows that he was pretty notable in his time. (, , ) It's just unfortunate that much of it is hidden behind paywalls and such.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
  • It looks like he also did one of the first sound shorts as well, which should count towards notability or nominate him under part 3 of WP:ENTERTAINER. He was also rather prolific, so that's to be noted as well.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

According to WP:ARTIST #5: "The person's work (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." If we can find any other films held in museums it might meet ARTIST. This might not be so difficult since silent films are now often treated like works of art and he was a prolific silent film writer. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 09:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

People who buy it already know about it, and they're probably not finding out from Knowledge (XXG). Rather, this person is a well-covered watchmaker, as evidenced by at the very least this, plus in the other references he's praised for his engineering techniques.

  • I have mixed thoughts about this one. Although he is an expert, he does not seem to be a groundbreaker; it seems more that he is knowledgeable than that he has advanced the sciences. The article lacks sourcing for most of the content, which would require serious trimming if the article is kept. If kept, the article so far as I can tell will show he knows his stuff, had a responsible job which he executed without incident, and that's all I can see. I am sorry, but I have to lean to Delete.

  • Keep The relevant criterion is WP:PROF, which is an alternative to the GNG. Widely quoted as an authority meets it specifically by standard 1, an authority in his field. The standard was adopted because otherwise the usual secondary sources are not available in this field. The relative status of the GNG and the speciality guidelines depends on which guideline. WP:PROF is explicitly an alternative to WP:BIO. and the GNG. Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. The publications and quotations are verifiable, and that is sufficient.

Reads like an essay, provides nothing that differs it from Sexism. Buggie111 (talk) 04:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep or Merge - The article appears to be well-sourced, and seems to be a reasonable topic fork. It is written in an essay-like fashion, but is probably salvageable. It might best be merged with the sexism article. - MrX 05:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Neutral/userfy. I agree that the topic of sexism and gender roles within the family has merit as an encyclopedic article. HOWEVER what we have here is an article that is unusable as a whole and in order to make it something that can be kept, someone would have to rewrite it entirely. If someone savvy with the subject matter can do a complete and total overhaul of the article, it'd be keepable. It just isn't there now and it'd have to be completely nuked in order to re-write it, essentially meaning that nothing in here (other than the sources) would be kept. That's why I'm stating userfy by an author who can do this. If they can do this before the week's end, then by all means- keep. But if not, there's very little here to merge other than sources and very basic ideas because this is essentially someone's personal research paper. It's not very neutrally written, it's not really in an encyclopedic format, and the focus tends to be a little all over the place. There are good points here, but it needs a lot of work to meet Knowledge (XXG) guidelines, hence the userfication since the author would have to ensure that this is no just a restating of content already in the sexism article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - this needs a fundamental rewrite to remove the essay-like tone, but it seems like a completely reasonable topic (though it would be nice to find a cleaner name). The Disney princess section may constitute undue coverage as well. I would be ok with a merge to Sexism, except that that article is already long enough to make the article after merging too bulky.

REASON: Article is almost entirely ORIGINAL RESEARCH that violates WP:SOAP, lacks a NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW as well as VERIFIABILITY and does not have RELIABLE SOURCES. Bascialy the same reasons it's been nominated by others twice before in the past 5 years. BillyTFried (talk) 16:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


I am listing this here on behalf of BillyTFried who had tried to nominate the article for deletion earlier, without success. AutomaticStrikeout (TC) 03:28, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep - There is no reason for deletion given here. Automatic Strikeout's reason is, essentially, because BillyTFried tried to delete. BillyTFried's reason (as linked) is: "There should certainly be an article on the topc of Asian Pride, but this page of rubbish is certainly not it and needs to be completely re-written." Basically, that says that this is a notable topic, but the article is in need of a lot of work. That's a great reason to work on the article, but not a reason to delete it. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
    To clarify, I was not taking a position in favor of or in opposition to deletion. I was simply listing the AfD on behalf of another editor who apparently wasn't sure what the (confusing) procedure was. AutomaticStrikeout (TC) 03:42, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
    Ah, my old friend, User:SummerPhD, who it should be noted I had a major quarrel with in the past where she failed to block a merge I proposed. So, keep? Did you even look at the article? BillyTFried (talk) 06:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
#1: I'm not that old.
#2: Please assume good faith. (I said "please" and everything.)
#3: There is no #3
#4: Please review the reasons for deletion I've linked to. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - Unless I am incorrect here, if I recall correctly, even if a topic is noteworthy, if the article is sheer junk, Knowledge (XXG) standards dictate that it should be deleted anyway until someone writes an acceptable version. It turns out that this is the 3rd time this article has been nominated for deletion (which caused my confusion), once in 2007 and again in 2008 with no consensus, and still remains horribly below the minimum standards of an Encyclopedia entry. Having such an article remain on Knowledge (XXG) for 5 years certainly seems unacceptable. BillyTFried (talk) 06:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Comment - Reasons for deletion can be found at WP:DEL-REASON. I do not see a match for what you think you recall. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:23, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
From that page "If the article's content severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, but when the topic is notable, the article may be reduced to a stub or completely deleted by consensus at WP:AfD." I sure hope you just coincidentally showed up here in WP:Good faith rather than out of spite for my defeating you in your attempt to keep three separate articles on a single topic on Knowledge (XXG) because of your devotion to your hometown. I find you of all the tons of Knowledge (XXG) editors out there showing up here to oppose me extremely suspect. BillyTFried (talk) 06:36, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
I've been biding my time, watching your every move, waiting to strike for four years. Then, when another editor started an AfD on your behalf, I leaped out of the shadows, with my sharpened claws and screamed: "Remember ME?!?!?! NOW DIE!!!" A far more reasonable conclusion than any other. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment - Could the people voting for "Keep" please cite which portions of the article they believe should be kept and are actually encyclopedic, properly referenced, and does not fall under the reasons for deletion listed above? From reading the page it seems to me that only the very first line would have any chance of standing up under any sort of scrutiny, though it still lacks any references. I would think all the other content below that about "AZN Pryde" lingo, "Got Rice" rap songs, Asian American middle schoolers, nationalism, and gang activity and violence obviously wouldn't make the cut. Thanks. BillyTFried (talk) 20:16, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Personally, I take the view that if a subject is notable, which we agree this subject is, any problems with the article should be solved through ordinary editing; in this case, reducing the article to a stub if need be, but leaving the history intact. I've no idea if there's anything salvageable in there (although there does appear to be a tenuous link between "Got Rice?" and Asian pride), but I'd rather preserve it on the off-chance that there is. DoctorKubla (talk) 21:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
The problem is that even the first line is really not sufficient as it is only referring to the American use of this very broad term. When I looked at the previous AFD I noticed this comment: "editors are conflating at least three distinct things: Asian pride — the rejection of U.S. and European influence by Asian countries, as noted by the U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia in a 1994 National Geographic for example, Asian Pride — a part of the EPIC programme run by the University of California at Los, Angeles in the mid-1970s, that evolved into Multicultural Pride and that still influences UCLA and its environs today, Asian pride — a group pride political movement amongst Asian Americans that has existed since the 1960s, as discussed here by the Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, for example." And even that still isn't sufficient. BillyTFried (talk) 21:33, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Also please see WP:NOTCLEANUP.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:16, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
It's been tagged for a half a decade. Way too long for a junk article to remain on Knowledge (XXG). Also, from the page you asked me to review: "If there's good, eventually sourceable, content in the article, it should be developed and improved, not deleted. (If there is no usable content, however, it may well be best to delete.)" And it has been stated from the beginning that it is a noteable topic but as noted above from WP:DEL-REASON: "If the article's content severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, but when the topic is notable, the article may be reduced to a stub or completely deleted by consensus at WP:AfD." BillyTFried (talk) 06:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
From that same page I also just noticed this one: "With that said, if an article is so bad that it is harmful in its current state, then deleting now, and possibly recreating it later, remains an option." Tying Asian Pride to Gang Violence clearly falls under that category. BillyTFried (talk) 07:01, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Article claims this is a former professor at various US universities. However a search for e.g. "P D Shah University of Pacific-Stockton astrology" doesn't turn up anything, neither does P D Shah California Institute of Asian Studies. I do get a couple of P D Shahs in otehr fields elsewhere, but that is likely due to the fact that the name is common. I.e. this may either be a case of slightly incorect information due to the language barrier, someone exaggerating the achievements of a close relative or simply a hoax.

Another few points on the existence of the subject and the references given:
  1. "University of Pacific-Stockton" is a reference to the University of the Pacific, based in Stockton, California, of which The Pacifican, cited as a source in the article, is a student newspaper, published since 1908 and still current.
  2. The subject's main claim to fame is, apparently, playing the Rudra vina a.k.a. Beena, with multiple variant spellings (a musical instrument); the first link I gave is from a website devoted to the Rudra veena; there are several videos on YouTube purporting to be videos of him playing this obscure instrument, e.g. , uploaded by "vijayarajkotia" - whose name is very similar to the that of user VRajkotia (talk · contribs) who uploaded pictures of P.D. Shah to the article. הסרפד (Hasirpad) 02:45, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. Biography doesnt seem to pass WP:ANYBIO criteria. --Phazakerley (talk) 08:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete The article makes a few claims for notability: 'Professor of Astrology', 'Rudra Veena player' and 'founder of Veena mandir'. All the four references in the article is dated between 1970 and 1971, the time when he taught astrology in USA. I am inclined to think that these are passing mentions as the person has not done anything significant in his career as a professor and certainly doesn't meet WP:PROF. Next, the article itself mentions he didn't played Rudra veena commercially. Its true that there are only a very few people who could play Rudra veena, but that doesn't make the person inherently notable. As for the organization 'Veena mandir', I could not find any sources to verify it. --Anbu121 (talk me) 12:15, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete I cannot see any field where he might be notable. A professor of astrology is quite unusual within this field. However, it appears hard to verify and it would be reasonable to expect evidence of published books and academic papers. Kooky2 (talk) 12:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Non-notable awards given out by a magazine so non-notable we don't even have an article about it. Orange Mike | Talk 03:05, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment: When googling for these rapidly becomes clear that there are lots of: (a) "we won this award, yay for us" stories (including some very big players) and (b) "local hero wins big award" (emphasizing the importance of the award without giving details of the field, the number of entrants, etc). Stories of type (a) are clearly not independent and are thus do not support notability; stories of type (b) bear the hallmarks of a story placed by PR machinery. What is missing, is genuine in depth coverage of the awards: (c) independent comparisons of an entire year's field; (d) independent comparisons of this years' winners with last years' winners; (e) stories about the entrants who didn't win. There are a few apparently independent stories such as this but this turns out to be a consulting service who tout their success at getting their clients multiple awards.

Article about a band from Seattle that was PRODed (which I endorsed) and contested without comment. At first light the references seem impressive but upon closer inspection they seem mostly self-generated, or basically the same content copied from one site to another, along with the usual facebook/twitter/youtube/soundcloud links. The claims about being in rotation on Sirius XM are unsourced and unverifiable as far as I can see, and I'm not entirely sure being featured in gyms could establish notability. The other claim is being featured in some kind of contest on Myx TV, however as far as I can tell this is not even over yet and there is no indication that they have actually won or been recognized for anything. About the only remotely notable third-party mention is this, however this is not a review or even the Seattle Weekly proper; it's just a six-line entry in a local event blog mentioning them (which I suppose makes sense since they're from Seattle). This is interestingly elaborate, but still fails WP:BAND at least, and certainly WP:GNG. No prejudice to withdrawing the AfD if someone can come forth with some sources that could establish notability. I couldn't. §FreeRangeFrog 04:13, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the deletions. I'm a new user to the wiki system. The Myx TV contest did conclude, there's a link within the article referencing it. If you follow the article further you will see "Also, catch original music videos by The Adarna, Random Ninjas, Alfa, Witty, and Tony T. Nguyen on the fourth episode of Press Play on Myx TV." Granted, it's not hugely impressive but the TV station still aired their video which aired "to an estimated ten million homes" (since they made the fourth episode). Regarding the radio stations, there's no way one be can verify what music is in rotations. Only direct access to analytic reports would give you that information, which I've never heard of an act sharing that with the public. Maybe there is some where you can see that online? At this juncture, I don't see how this is a valid point. However, their soundcloud recording of the interview on Sirius Radio could be explained by this: They are known for playing "bumper music" which is music in-between more popular acts to give lesser known acts a chance to pain popularity. See reference and search "bumper music."

Whilst the subject matter is morally honorable, this article is an advert for this individual and his commercial anti-cyberbullying organisation which sells presentations and courses. The sited heavily linked to is not RS and could be viewed as link spam. There are no references to indicate notability.

  • Delete. Much respect for the man himself, but lack of reliable sources - in fact, the presence extremely unreliable or inappropriate sources for a WP article - and blatant advertising disqualify. dci | TALK 07:41, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I want to clarify that while it would appear that I created the original article, what I created wasn't about this person — rather, there's a massive procedural error lurking in the edit history. What I created, in fact, was the article that's now sitting at Bill Belsey (politician) — but sometime in 2011, Bill Belsey the educator seems to have violated WP:COI by rewriting the article to be about himself, with the politician left at the bottom as an afterthought even though he's the more notable of the two per our current inclusion rules. And then sometime this year, another Knowledge (XXG) user spun the politician off into a new article and left the educator in the original one, then moved the original to this title and converted the plain title to a dab page — thus breaking the edit history, because my original edits about the politician are now attached to this title instead of the one which contains the content that I actually posted.

The educator's article, for the record, is clearly not consistent with our current standards around the use of reliable sources, and thus cannot be kept in its current form — while it's certainly possible that he might qualify for a properly written article that makes proper use of reliable sources, he is clearly not entitled to keep this spammy, COI-violating version. Accordingly, it's a clear delete — however, because of the process error, it will need to be handled as follows so that the edits that pertain to the original version are properly attached to the correct topic:

  1. Move the educator back to the plain title Bill Belsey.
  2. Delete the article there, and then move Bill Belsey (politician) back over it.
  3. Restore only the deleted edits that pertain to the original version (i.e. the five edits from 2010 or before.) - Bearcat (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. I've followed this page for some time, because I follow the Cyberbullying page, and I agree that it's simply too much of an exercise in self-promotion by the subject of the page. That editor shows up from time to time and restores self-promoting edits that had previously been reverted, which might, perhaps, be an argument against moving the politician page back to where the DAB is now; perhaps it might be better to leave the politician page as is, and also delete and salt the DAB page, but I'm not sure about that. (I might as well point out that I performed some, not all, of the edits to which Bearcat refers, mainly because I felt that it violated BLP for the politician to also have the material about the educator on the page about the politician. My apologies to Bearcat about the edit history stuff.) --Tryptofish (talk) 23:28, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
The title that the politician's article should ultimately be placed at can be separately discussed at another time, but it's outside the purview of this discussion since nobody's proposing that we delete him. However, given the need to repair the edit history by reattaching the original edits to his article instead of the educator's, the process I outlined above does still have to take place regardless of which title we ultimately decide to give him in the end. I also, for the record, don't see any evidence at User talk:Belsey that the user has ever been properly advised of why the content of this article is problematic — nobody, in fact, has posted anything to his talk page at all about anything since the inclusion of his website as a straight external link in cyberbullying in 2009, two years before he created this. As a result, we simply don't know whether he's restoring self-promotional edits because he's choosing to ignore Knowledge (XXG)'s content policies (in which case we also have the option of blocking him), or because he's editing in good faith and just doesn't realize there's a problem (in which case all we really have to do is explain to him about proper sourcing and conflict of interest.) So his behaviour doesn't yet constitute proof that we need to keep the politician disambiguated regardless of whether the educator has an article or not. Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, I certainly wasn't advocating blocking him! Just trying to point out some things about the pluses and minuses of how to deal with the redirect page. Not a big deal to me. You should feel free to leave him a talk page message if you want to. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep The article now shows a couple of peer-reviewed publications, and with Stuartyeates additions, a couple of secondary sources, one of which is in-depth. Ruud has shown about 200 hits in Google scholar, not all of which are from the SableVM research group. The topic seems to be notable and verifiable with some independent sources. Mark viking (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Which one is the in-depth secondary source? It should be noted that papers in conference proceedings are often not peer reviewed to the same extent as journal papers. --Michig (talk) 07:13, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • (Copied from my talk page. —Ruud 19:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)) I'm loath to allow this AfD to be derailed into off-topic discussion. How about just accepting that someone else may have a different experience of academia to your own? I'm happy to accept that your experiences may be of rigorous peer review for conference papers, why can't you just accept that my experiences may differ? If you feel the article should be kept, fine. I'm not convinced. If someone can come up with a good argument for keeping then I would be happy for it to be kept, but I don't see it yet - the onus is not on me to prove that coverage doesn't exist - one can never prove that, only that insufficient coverage can be found. I asked which source is independent and provides significant coverage, simply because having looked through the sources I don't see one - maybe someone could answer that question? I'm fine with you having a different opinion to mine. Could you afford me the same courtesy? Thanks. --Michig (talk) 19:10, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

  • I feel assured that anyone else reading this discussion will no longer be misled by the statement made above, so I no longer have a reason to continue this diatribe. —Ruud 20:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Re-reading the Inquirer article, in-depth was an exaggeration--there is a paragraph on the SableVM project and it's proposed collaboration with Apache Harmony--but as one of two open source JVMs mentioned in the article, it's enough in my opinion. Regarding computing conference proceedings, I only have experience with the annual NIPS conference, which has a lower acceptance rate than some journals in the same field. In general, I imagine that different conferences have different levels of rigor. Variation in levels of rigor is also seen across journals. Mark viking (talk) 23:53, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Not notable still-to-be-published book by American singer Ke$ha. — 02:26, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Kesha. Changing vote to neutral, see below comment. Books can sometimes gain notability before they are published or even if they are never officially published, but this is not the case in this scenario. All that we have for this book are a few 1-2 paragraph articles about the book, most of which mention the autobiography in passing and do not really focus much on the book. The book releases on the 20th and while that's not too far off, we can't automatically assume that it'll receive more press. Luckily for this article, the book will release during the week duration of this AfD, so if there are more sources after its released I will gladly change my vote to keep. Until then, it should just redirect to Kesha's article. Books don't gain automatic notability by being written by a notable person. It's actually fairly common for big names to release autobiographies that never truly meet notability guidelines.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:56, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I've added some stuff to source what I do have in the article, which isn't much. I just want to point out to anyone coming in that while some articles are longer than others, the articles are rather short and all are based off of one press release, so no depth of coverage here. If I can find at least 1-2 reviews I'm willing to change my mind, but so far I'm pretty much just gussying this up for a redirect so that if/when it gets coverage, we will have some material there for someone to work with.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:40, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I've added still more, but so far everything is brief and somewhat trivial in nature. This is so close to passing WP:NBOOK that I'm almost tempted to say that it does. Almost. If I can find one article that isn't based off of the press release and gives in-depth coverage, I'd say that it'd pass. I've pared down a lot of the sources since I figure that the previous state of the article is a little misleading when you look at the sources. I've left the following: (for any newcomers to the AfD)
  1. This is a brief article that talks about the photographer. It's fairly brief, so much so that I'd consider it a trivial source.
  2. This is another brief article that talks about their favorite quotes from the book. If it was more of a review I'd count it towards notability.
  3. A nice article based off of the PR. It's lengthier than some of the others, but almost half of it is quoting the PR verbatim so that's a little problematic.
  4. This is an actual article where MTV interviewed Kesha. She pretty much spouts off the same stuff put into the PR, but it's technically its own interview. Considering that sometimes these interviews are done weeks or months before it's put onto the website, I wouldn't be surprised if this is what the PR was based off of. I'm counting it towards notability
  5. It's strange, but it is a review of sorts and counts towards notability.
In any case, the last two are the ones that I absolutely consider to give notability. The rest? They're close and might be arguable, but they're shaky enough where you can also argue that they don't give notability. I just wanted to elaborate on the sources since I'm so on the border with this AfD.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:17, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Neutral. I'm not entirely happy with the current sources and I feel that this could be argued either way for notability, given that some of the sources are based off the same PR and there's only one actual in-depth review of the book. But then again, the current sources are more than the previous ones that were 90% PR re-quoting. I'm willing to accept either outcome, whether it's redirect or keep. At this point we really only need one more in-depth source for me to be able to say that it would pass notability guidelines without debate, but the current sources could be definitely argued to show notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've found two more articles about the book. One is sort of dubious, but the other is by Spin Magazine. It's brief, but just lengthy enough that I'm going to count it. This barely squeaks by notability guidelines, but there's enough now to keep me happy for the meantime.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Yes and no. The book itself has actually gotten a few reviews, which are usually enough in themselves to warrant a keep but this has enough sources about the book itself that it would merit an entry of its own. Notability isn't inherited, but you're never going to find an article about the book that won't talk about Kesha's other activities to some point.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:49, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Mostly empty list with unclear scope. If it was a list of candidates as the title suggests than it would have to include 1,500+ people, mostly non-notable per WP:BIO. However the present table doesn't provide space for all candidates to be included. It is also somewhat non-neutral in that five parties have been included in the columns, but not the other parties which will participate in the election. Suggest deletion is the best way forward.

Taking this to AfD for consensus. Is a top-30 showing on a Christian song chart enough to pass muster under WP:BAND? I interpret the guideline's #5 point to mean a national chart, which I'm not sure that Christian Songs or Christian CHR actually are. §FreeRangeFrog 03:47, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

National chart is Billboard charts not a specific chart is what I read!HotHat (talk) 06:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep According to Billboard, the Christian Songs chart, among others, is compiled based on audience impressions. More generally, they use Nielsen BDS to electronically monitor over 140 radio markets in the U.S. The only other thing of note is that The Christian CHR...and Christian AC Indicator charts are compiled from playlist reports that stations playing those genres of music submit online. Based on all this, I think it's fair to say that yes, it's a national chart. I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 07:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. Insufficient coverage to demonstrate notability. A fairly low placing on a genre-specific chart based on specialist radio play is not in my view sufficient to establish notability on its own. Placing in a national singles/album chart that is based on sales would be good enough (in this case the Billboard Hot 100/Billboard 200), otherwise for these specialist charts, anything outside the top 10, while indicating that digging deeper may find something, needs to be backed up by some other claim to notability. My preference would be to only include national charts based on sales in notability criteria, but while a major nation such as the US still has national specialist charts based on airplay, I suppose we have to include them, but only the top 10-20, I think. My interpretation of a 'national chart' would be a nation's main sales-based chart, or one of multiple sales-based national charts in cases where there is not one representative national chart. --Michig (talk) 16:05, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Big Keep notability is clearly established in the aforementioned article. Just look at WP:MUSICBIO, criteria No. 2, when it states "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." It does not state that it has to be the highest chart for singles, which would be the Hot 100, rather it means any Billboard charts and they have hit two of the song charts the way that our US national charting system does it.HotHat (talk) 21:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
By the way, if it is not a notable chart then why do we have the Christian Songs article on here in the first place? So, this means by virtue of the charts notability it lends credibility and notablity to the said article here in question.HotHat (talk) 21:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Now, I found that MUSICBIO criteria No. 11, which states "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network," and this has been proven by K-LOVE. So, now it is 100 percent notable. Furthermore, the song is notable along with the band that sings the song is notable!HotHat (talk) 00:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - The band may not be major, but I'll second HotHat there as I listed to KLOVE and they placed it quite a bit last summer. That, combined with the top-25 charting on Christian Songs is enough for an article for now. If there isn't any sort of news about these guys in a few years, it may be a good idea to delete.

Claims notability, I originally nominated for csd however this seems to be more appropriate sue to the claims of notability. A lot of the sources appear to be contributors to a website rather then authors of the magazine (Forbes) or blogs. TO my interpretation I think it's promotional and ultimately doesn't pass notability guidelines. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 19:48, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Query - Could you be more specific about how it's promotional? You originally tagged it for speedy deletion (a minute after it was created) on the grounds of notability and blatant spam. I was as careful as I could be to keep it neutral, but I'm happy to accept advice on how I could improve it. Ruby Murray (talk) 20:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
The overall tone is advertising in my opinion. Consider just the lead
    • Women LEAD is a non-governmental organization that provides women's leadership development training and advocacy in Nepal. Based in Kathmandu, Nepal and Arlington, Virginia in the United States. The group aims to build the professional skills of future leaders, in order to tackle the root causes of poverty in their communities
My opinion is that the actual company does not met the guidelines for inclusion, if the sources presented were from the magazines themselves and not people commenting or self promoting blogs by the founder there would be no argument as it is it has not yet. I do believe that it does have potential at some point but that the time for it is not now. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:52, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Understood about notability, but I'm asking about promotional tone. How can I re-word provides women's leadership development training and advocacy in Nepal to be less promotional? And how can I re-word aims to build the professional skills of future leaders, in order to tackle the root causes of poverty in their communities to be less promotional? If those sentences are promotional, then please re-word them: I'm mystified. Ruby Murray (talk) 10:09, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Try reviewing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (If anyone has a axe to grind these peeps do). It's a clear cut difference for both the notability aspect and the neutral POV. Just a suggestion that you may want to focus more on the sourcing though, because ultimately it isn't deletable on just the overall tone of promotion alone. That's just one of the other reasons I thought it should go. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Understood about notability, but I'm asking about promotional tone. How can reviewing the PETA article possibly help me address what you regard as promotional tone here? Ruby Murray (talk) 10:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Like I say try and focus on the sourcing because if there's a reason for deletion it will be for that and not for being promotional, which for right now I consider a secondary issue. It will be by definition promotional until it is NPOV and properly sourced. The PETA article can help you with a baseline on how a non profit page should look like. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
"Secondary issue" or not, I'm going to first fix what you called "blatant spam" in your attempted speedy deletion, and "promotional" tone in your present deletion nomination. I've deleted one sentence to which you objected above: "The group aims to build the professional skills of future leaders, in order to tackle the root causes of poverty in their communities." Anything else promotional in there? Thanks, Ruby Murray (talk) 12:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
My last comment on this thread will be that while I still consider this to be promotional if that's all you focus on then you'll miss your goal overall as the notability will be your key to keeping it here. Read through all the comments and references you have here and go from there. Realize that my voice is only one we go by consensus so if I'm reading this off color then other editors will see that. it happens, consensus doesn't always follow what a person might want and we all have to accept that. So if I'm off base we'll have had a robust discussion and you have a more accurate view then I did. I'll move on and continue doing what I consider is the best interest for the encyclopedia and so will you 8) It's a good thing. Now I'm going to bow out because a pet peeve of mine in any discussion is when one person overloads the discussion with excessive postings, I believe that I've expressed my rationales well and would only be repeating myself ad naseum at this point, trying to keep in mind WP:TLDR so the article gets it's fair discussion.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 12:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Never mind then. I'll quit asking. Ruby Murray (talk) 14:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Userfy and Delete for now - as per WP:TOOSOON and my comment above. There are plenty of "sources" but I'm not seeing much beyond blogs and sources that are clearly not independent of the subject. The fact that some of the "more independent" ones carry the same company-provided photo is telling. There's a good case to be made, I think, for userfication. I have no doubt this will pass WP:GNG / WP:CORPDEPTH in good time. But until it does we probably shouldn't have an article in the mainspace. Otherwise we'll just keep coming back to AFD. Stalwart111 00:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • delete, per the analysis above: none of the many sources are enough for notability, being blogs, not independent of the group or not significant publications such as national newspapers. If it can't be improved with better refs then it can be userfied to work on further and either further work or the passage of time will establish notability. There's no time limit.--JohnBlackburnedeeds 04:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Some of the sources use blog engines (with default layout) for their web sites: this does not necessarily make them blogs. The Hoya, for example, is a student newspaper; the award announcement from peacexpeace.org is not a blog entry, but their site runs on WordPress; etc. So some of the references are blogs, but not all. Ruby Murray (talk) 09:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
We understand that but the majority of the sources are blogs or written by people with a close connection to the subject, WP:CORPDEPTH is a good reference to you. now this is a possibility, but if there is a real impact made by this company it's probably in Nepal if you can find sources from Nepal that show coverage you might have a better shot. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Query for nominator - You originally tried to speedy delete the article as spam, a minute after I created it. You're still saying in your nomination above that it's promotional, but though I've repeatedly asked about this both at Talk:Women LEAD and here, I've had no answer back yet. Nothing's been removed since you tried to speedy it, there have only been references added, plus info about the award received and the flash-mob in Kathmandu. Will you please explain how it's promotional? Thanks, Ruby Murray (talk) 09:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
I answered that with my last post look above please. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
So you did - we were posting at the same time. I'll answer inline. Ruby Murray (talk) 10:09, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
If I might, its probably also worth understanding the distiction between real-world email "spam" and Knowledge (XXG)'s policy WP:PROMO, often paraphrased as "spam" or "promo-spam". It basically just means any cause / product for which someone is using Knowledge (XXG) as a promotional tool - a use for which Knowledge (XXG) is not appropriate. Knowledge (XXG) is not the place to "raise awareness" of a cause, no matter how great that cause might be, because Knowledge (XXG) only publishes what has been published elsewhere. If you can find instances of other people giving significant coverage of the topic, you should list those sources here for discussion. It's probably worth having a read of WP:OR, WP:BURDEN and WP:NOBLE. Cheers, Stalwart111 10:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
I'm not trying to raise awareness of anything. The organization has won awards from organizations notable enough for articles on Knowledge (XXG), which I assumed made it notable enough in its own right. I'll keep working on the references, but would be glad of any help. Thanks, Ruby Murray (talk) 10:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Unfortunately not, mostly because of WP:INHERIT. But the awards themselves might confer some notability if they are significant and recognise notable activities. But they would still need to be verified by reliable sources in any case. HIAB's suggestion to consider WP:CORPDEPTH is a good one. Stalwart111 10:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak delete - I'm aware that this game was only released in Japan, and before the internet existed, but unless Japanese coverage can be found somewhere, I don't think this is notable. Japanese games were released all the time in that time, and there is no indication as to what makes it notable compared to the others (other than it was made by Sega).

  • Comment - The game seems to be the earliest example of the "wrestling video game" which is a whole subgenre of sports games today. Reliable sources like this claim as much. But I don't see much significant coverage. If any exists (and I suspect it might) it's probably only in old Japanese print sources from the 1980s. -Thibbs (talk) 13:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Some sections even need to be re-written. That being said, deleting is not the solution. I agree with Thesteve. The problems listed here are surmountable and the content is not entirely irretrievable ergo they cannot serve as grounds for deletion. But I might be wrong anyway. Mr T 15:46, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
  • The concept here is far too broad to necessitate an article - this article seems to discuss not only many worlds theory, multiverse theory, possible worlds from philosophy, and then proceeds to talk about the Marvel Universe and its relation to the DC Universe among others. Note that all of these topics have their own, much better written and much better sourced and much more notable articles. There is no need for this page. Delete, possibly make this page a disambiguation page. I am highly confident (70 - 99%) in my opinion. Regards, Jeremy. -- =) khfan93 (t) (c) 20:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

There are a ton of things named Omniverse, including a physics definition, an astrology definition, a religious(cult??) concept, TV shows, magazines, and books. I have no idea which ones are notable and which are not.

  • It's poorly written rubbish because there is no way to write a proper article here. There is no concept in physics by this name. The article even has a footnote explaining that it is a distortion of Penrose and not what he actually wrote. Thesteve's claim that the concept is "widely used" is surely a joke, because anyone who has actually read the purported supporting evidence will see that the opposite is the case. The search that it links to — it isn't even a citation of anything — is just a random collection of occurrences of the nonce word "onmiverse", including in works of fiction and names of businesses. There is no coherent concept here.

    The stuff about "omniverse theory" is original research. It was original research when it was in Omniverse theory (AfD discussion), and it's original research when the single-purpose accounts sprang up, a fortnight after that article was deleted, and scribbled it in this one.

No significant secondary sources found with web search. None cited in article. Highly promotional article probably should have been CSD-G11 when it was created. Fails WP:GNG. Company appears to make some notable products (Nagra undercover police recording technology as an example), but there is very little on the web for them other than mentions in passing. (Is this due to the secretive nature of their business?) Gtwfan52 (talk) 11:35, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment The Kudelski group is famous for 60 years for its Nagra Audio division which won several oscars for their contribution to high fidelity audio (see: http://www.allegrosound.com/Nagra.html for example). It's also one of the worldwide leaders in pay-tv systems, having among their customers Echostar, Canal Plus and other prestigious television groups. Yes, they are very secretive. But I fail to see why it could not have its page when a company such as Novartis (another big swiss company) has one (as do Echostar and Canal Plus by the way). But maybe we should ask Lord_Chao why he created this page first place. I doubt he has any relationship with the company and I doubt this page is even managed by the company. I agree that it may be a bit biased. --Eforler (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

This is a bit of a tricky case where there are valid arguments on both sides, so I thought it best to bring it here for discussion and consensus rather than simply imposing anything arbitrarily. The situation is that she was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives last month, earning the distinction of becoming the first out transgender person ever elected to a state legislature in the United States — however, she had previously been convicted of a crime and faced some controversy due to conflicting interpretations of whether she had fulfilled the necessary discharge conditions to be eligible to run for election, and thus opted to resign the seat before actually taking office.
So the dilemma is this: while the distinction of being the first transgender person to win a state-level election in the US technically still holds regardless of whether she actually assumed the office or not afterward, it also presents potential WP:BLP problems (privacy, BLP1E, revealing a transgender person's prior name, etc.) for us to actually have a standalone article about her — we also, for instance, have the alternative of simply listing her name in relevant articles without linking to an independent article, thus avoiding content that would actually get into too much biographical detail about her.
I was the article's original creator, before the fit hit the shan, so I don't know what the right solution is here and won't express a preference — but there should be some discussion of whether we should keep or delete this nonetheless. Bearcat (talk) 17:08, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

We have to give some consideration to Ms. Laughton's privacy rights as well. Notability doesn't necessarily give us the right to ignore personal privacy issues like publishing her former name, or broadcasting her criminal record, on one of the most widely viewed websites in the entire world. Such issues can actually override the notability of a private citizen whose notability rests on a single event — there are cases when even if a person does technically meet notability rules, it can still be inappropriate for us to actually maintain an article about her. Although perhaps we could also retain the article while squelching some of the more sensitive biographical details (like her birth name or the specific details of her criminal conviction.) Bearcat (talk) 08:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
  • She's a public figure who stood for public office and the details of her arrest and conviction are matters of public record. She is clearly a notable figure and whether her former name or whatever other detail should or shouldn't be included is a question to be hashed out on her talk page, not in a deletion discussion.

This wrestler unfortunately does not appear to meet the general notability guideline. Googling on Books, News, and News archives for "Colin Cassidy" wrestler turns up nothing but false positives (note that Morrisey is known best by this name). "Bill Morrisey" wrestler doesn't return anything worth mentioning, either. The article was initially unsourced and I BLPPROD-ed it. The creator responded with two sources, this and this, saying it was all they could find. They don't look like reliable sources to me, but I figured it best if others could scrutinize them as well.

  • Delete Non notable wrestler who has only fought in minor competition, not enough independant coverage either Seasider91 (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I realize now that I mis-spelled Morrisey's ring name when doing my first set of searches. It's Cassady, not Cassidy. Doing the same Google searches with the term "Colin Cassady" wrestler turns up nothing but this, a brief mention without any significant coverage. My argument for deletion still stands.

  • Keep Multiple independent reliable sources for Colin Cassady are present. Cassady has appeared on FCW's television show. PWInsider, F4WOnline, Wrestleview. Propose move to Colin Cassady Starship.paint (talk) 01:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I agree with you that if the page is kept, then it should be moved to Colin Cassady. Admittedly, I am unfamiliar with the notability standards of professional wrestling, so I'm going by the GNG. The sources added are essentially match recaps, some more brief than others, so whether or not Cassady meets the GNG because of them is subjective. On one hand, the sources do directly deal with Cassady, and he "need not be the main topic of the source material". On the other hand, the purpose of the significant coverage clause is so no origninal research is needed, and, sticking to reliable sources, it appears some would still be needed to write an article on Cassady. I feel it could go either way. CtP (tc) 18:25, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Honestly, it's not going to be easy to find an article on Cassady itself... due to the nature of the professional wrestling reliable sources. Out of all the secondary sources (which means not counting the primary sources of the wrestling promotions' websites such as WWE.com, the primary source for Cassady is http://www.fcwwrestling.info/Roster/Collin-Cassady.html), to my knowledge only one of them, slam.canoe.ca offers articles on individual wrestlers. The rest such as pwtorch.com are news sites which mainly offers recaps on the weekly television shows that Cassady has participated in. You just can't find articles directly on Cassady on those sites. Starship.paint (talk) 08:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Not a notable individual. Searches for "Lloyd Smith" come up with other individuals. When searching for "Lloyd Smith" and "Bar-Kays", I only find mere mentions of his name which prove his existence but are not in-depth enough to establish notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:08, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

This adult film actress receives mention at , but I don't see secondary souring that would reach WP:GNG, nor awards that would approach WP:PORNBIO. Additional sources welcomed, as always. j⚛e decker 01:16, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

She was a regular on Night Calls 411; wouldn't that fall under WP:ENTERTAINER?SPNic (talk) 02:15, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
WP:ENT#1 requires multiple shows, typically. Is there a second-most-significant role she's played in? If there were better sourcing, I'd probably be less concerned, but I haven't seen it yet here, anything we write on here at the moment is going to be based on self-published sources or credit lines at best. (N.B., obviously no issue with a redirect rather than a deletion if it comes down to that.) --j⚛e decker 07:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

She also had a recurring role on Totally Busted, and had some guest appearances in a few late night cable shows, some of which actually have entries here (e.g., Hotel Erotica Cabo). Unfortunately, most of the films she actually had the lead in are probably not notable.SPNic (talk) 20:49, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
