Zero refs, so no indication in the article of notability. Non-notable, now defunct (merged; so it is not likely to generate much in the way of new news), primary school that gnews never heard of and gbooks has only a solitary passing snippet mention of. Was PRODed, but PROD was removed. Already mentioned in the article re the school it merged into, so nothing to merge even if it were referenced. Open to redirect, however (as usual), to the location already mentioned. Epeefleche (talk) 22:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

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

Article about Reinhard Scharnagl largely written by User:Scharnagl, and User:Scharnagl has more or less the same text (but in German) on his German use page (de:User:Scharnagl), implying that the article was written by the person himself. Looks like self-promotion and the person might not be notable. Only one source listed and that source is written by the person himself. I don't understand all of the text, but it seems that the page was deleted from the article namespace on German Knowledge because of self-promotion and lack of notability: de:Knowledge:Löschkandidaten/29.

• WP:AUTHOR is satisfied if "2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique." (See below re Chess960 numbering scheme.)
• WP:BIO (WP:Notability (people)) and WP:N are both re notability. Is Schanagl's Chess960 numbering scheme (see below) not "worthy of notice" that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."?
• WP:RS (See below articles at ChessBase.com and Chess Variants Pages.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 12:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
For Capablanca Random Chess, he did what Fischer (and others) did for chess and applied it to Capablanca chess. That took less than 1 minute of thought. As for as the chess960 numbering scheme, any math undergraduate could come up with something like that in 10 minutes, in my opinion. Bubba73 04:05, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Here's what Christian Freeling, an established game inventor, said about creating Dameo, a game he believes and advocates as more deserving as the basic competitive "checkers" game, to replace International draughts: "That is why Dameo happened, quite unintentionally. Its rules fell into place in less than a minute." Abstract Games (Summer 2002), p. 10. Also, his game Hexdame, was a straightforward and literal translation of International draughts rules, from the 10x10 board and onto a hex board. (How much time did that inspiration consume? Probably less than one second. Yet the game is a place for draughts to go to escape what the inventor predicts to be the death of competetive International draughts due to high incident of draws and played-out positions.) It is easy to say something was easy that anybody could have done, when there is advantage of hindsight and a rear-view mirror. Is a game more notable simply because the inventor sweated over it over a longer period of time? I don't think wall-clock time or sweat-equity are reliable gauges to reject notability.

• Another achievement to consider lending notability (from Capablanca random chess): winner, game invention contest, The Chess Variant Pages (2005).
• And this 5/5/2005 Chessbase.com article references Scharnagl and his program Smirf: Chess960 Computer World Champtionship.
• The de WP decision is the de decision, it shouldn't weigh in on the en WP decision, which should be objective and independent (until such time WP is all-world consensus). Because de WP is German and Scharnagl is German too, it is still individual person(s) rendering assessment re notability (and/or whatever) at de. Why can't the en assessment be *better than* the de assessment? (And in the event of Keep at en, is it impossible that the editors(s) at de would reconsider? ) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There is no agreement that the subject is of borderline notability, and his deletion request, Ticket:2012013010003568, is not compelling because it does not tell us what is wrong with the article or why it should be deleted.  Sandstein  06:32, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete at request of subject despite excellent sourcing. Google scholar gives cites 318, 107, 86, 82 etc, with an h-index of 19. For most areas of physics this would lead to a pass of WP:Prof#1. However in the area that the subject works in, fundamental physics, citation rates tend to be high (for example a Google Scholar search for Michael Duff (physicist) (as M J Duff) returns cites of 776, 609, 384, 336, 328...etc. and a search for Lee Smolin gives cites of 771, 712, 544, 514, 468, 434 ...etc. Therefore notability could perhaps be considered to be borderline and there can be no harm in acceding to the request of the subject to delete. It may be that more people are coming to perceive Knowledge as a tacky area of the web that they would rather not be associated with. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC).
  • Keep The citation rate is sufficient in any science, and notability is not borderline. I do not know why the subject is modest, but it would be a strange encyclopedia if we left out the i modest people at a given level and included the others. This would destroy NPOV--giving the right to people lets them in essence dictate the contents of the article, not that I think this subject has done so. The reason the problem is there is that if the inclusion would really be disproportionate in a given case, we have a way to make an exception, and I've voted and even closed that way when necessary. If there is some special reason why it's necessary, please let me know privately off wiki. The ticket isn't in the part of OTRS I work in. DGG ( talk ) 06:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

  • I comment that the argument that someone with a great many citations is not very notable, because there are people with higher citations yet, is in effect an argument that notability = famous. That's not the guideline--such a rule would give a very abridged Knowledge, DGG ( talk ) 20:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:notability is borderline combined with the fact that the subject want's the article deleted. North8000 (talk) 21:27, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. To me the citation counts are enough for WP:PROF, despite being on the low side compared to the average for Category:String theorists. But more than cite counts (which can mean many things, and are hard to calibrate from one field to another) I prefer considerations of whether we can find multiple specific important research contributions that can be attributed to the subject. In Iqbal's case there is M-theory#Mysterious duality and some work on crystal melting in Topological string theory. (We also cite him in Del Pezzo surface but in that one I have no clear statement that he made an important contribution to the subject.) That seems like enough to convince me that he has indeed made an impact as criterion #C1 asks. I don't give a lot of weight to requests from the subject, especially in this case where we're not even given a reason for the request. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - clearly a notable scholar in M theory (what is popularly known as 'string" theory). I could not locate that ticket. What does the subject want redacted? If it's harmless, I see no problem. Bearian (talk) 21:09, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
    • Comment I don't know why you couldn't locate it, I just checked and the ticket number is correct. He states he isn't a public figure and has the right not to have an article. He complained that there was a pdf uploaded without permission, which was true and I removed it. He also says some of the information isn't accurate and I've asked him (just now) to be specific.

This article has had three years in which to improve, and it still has no visible verifiable references from reliable sources. Contested PROD.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak delete, without prejudice if someone comes up with sources. I'm on the fence here, on the one hand, this is a 130 year old organization that has a very credible claim for significance with more than 100,000 members/customers. On the other hand, I did quite a bit of research yesterday wanting to address the PROD, and couldn't find anything of substance to address the PROD reason. Sure, several articles on Navy Times, but they are more like "don't forget to register" type of things. Then several other press releases on other sites, and a few business profiles, Forbes, Businessweek, etc. I was surprised that the various "official" biographies of Richard W. Mies do not mention his role in this organization, suggesting a lack of importance. I would have to agree with the nominator that as it looks, this article cannot meet WP:V based on reliable, third-party sources. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 04:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
This Richard W. Mies bio mentions it. (about 3/5 down page, search (space)Mies). Dru of Id (talk) 12:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep. A longstanding well-known aspect of US military culture. This organization, and its counterpart the Army and Air Force Mutual Aid Association, are legitimately historical organizations. GNews has 100+ hits going back to 1887, GBooks shows about 3,000 hits. There are a lot of paywalls in the way, but one could start with this succinct explanation of the association's roots and purpose, from a 1921 issue of the United States Naval Medical Bulletin. (On the other hand, I do think that both articles could stand some winnowing: we don't need the list of all the different policies they sell.)--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep Scale and long history indicate clear ability to meet wp:notability. Based on scale and long history, failure to have an article on this in wikipedia would be a gap/shortcoming. North8000 (talk) 21:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Notable by Google Books in many books: Search books. The article was initially crippled when the original author expanded it with several "copyvio" paragraphs, so naturally, it was severely gutted back to a hollow stub, which might have demoralized the early editors to steer clear of re-expanding the text. However, the Navy Mutual Aid Association has been well-known among U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard families for over 50 years now, long after World War II.

Meet Burt Goldman. He's a living author who believes he can teach you through the power of audiobooks the magical skill of "quantum jumping", which allows you to transfer your consciousness to "alternate universes to meet and learn from these alternate versions of yourself"... for only $97. The references in the article aren't reliable, and a search for independent reliable sources turned up nothing. Lots of promotional websites obviously set up to create a lot of buzz, SEO or otherwise, for Goldman, but the only third-party reliable sources I could find had at best passing mentions. Fails WP:GNG and causes anyone who has read WP:FRINGE to wince. Even if this isn't fringespam, the lack of independent sources raises WP:BLP concerns. —Tom Morris (talk) 19:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete, if not speedy delete. This is pretty much the epitome of WP:NOT in that it's not for something thought up one day and that it's full of original research. There's nothing to show notability and to be honest, there's not even an original idea here. Peer pressure has always influenced dieting, whether for better or worse.

The very reason WP:CRYSTALBALL exists. From the article While not officially announced by the organization, it is expected to take place on June 22, 2012 at a yet to be announced venue in Atlantic City, New Jersey., so it is only parroting speculation from a single source.

    • The article SAYS it hasn't, and you wrote the article. There is no link to such, and that wouldn't pass notability even with. It isn't required to create an article on an event before it becomes notable, or before it is even announced. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

        • Honestly, I didn't read all the comments on that forum you posted as a source. Did you mean the part where it said The UFC has yet to announce fights or specific venue information for any of the three newly confirmed fight cards.' or are you talking about down in the user comments? I was too busy reading the actual article as written here on Knowledge, which is the issue at hand. And how exactly does this establish notability.

Barely escapes CSD for advert. References offer no significant coverage, notability is not firmly established. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:37, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. A search brought up nothing that could be used as an independent and reliable source. There's nothing out there to show notability or to even back up the claims in the article. I didn't even really see that many forums talking about it either, which contradicts the article's claims of having a lot of popularity in the "tower game" niche.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 19:35, 10 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
  • You are right, compared to other games in bigger niches CreepTD is not that well known. Tower defense is still a rather small sub-genre of strategy gaming commonly played solo (see Bloons, Flash Element TD etc.). However, this game is the broadest known and still played multiplayer tower defense game of these days and in my oppinion should be included besides of Bloons and others that clearly differenciate from this one in not being multiplayer nor providing an equally complete set of common game modes that also might be in interest for Knowledge readers in general if they are interested in non-ancient implementations of these. These things may - or may not - make it a noteworthy candidate for people who like to take a deeper look into the tower defense genre itself. I'd of course extend the article with more detailed information if it does not get deleted. Didn't do this already because I have been unsure also if the game is a considerable candidate for other WP editors, too.Dcvm (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
    I just wish you had links to publications that are actually talking about the game itself, reviews, interviews, stuff like that. That is the only reason I brought it here, no independent coverage in any media. To me, the best outcome of an AFD is if someone digs up a slew of good links that we just couldn't find before, adds them, then I withdraw. I'm not "pro deletion", just "pro sourcing". If you can find some actual coverage, by all means, tell us. Dennis Brown (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment One of the problems with the links that you've provided is that none of the links are usable as reliable sources to show notability. They're mostly blogs or other things that cannot show notability. They do show that the game exists and that somewhere someone is talking about it, but it's not the type of coverage that is considered to be independent and reliable secondary sources. When you get down to it, only 1% of anything put out about a person, place, or thing will be usable to count towards notability. None of the links shown are usable per WP:RS. Even if the game was widely talked about and had millions of ghits, you still need independent secondary sources from trusted sources to show notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
  • I see. To make this sure for me: This also means that it is not enough (for a tower defense game e.g. "the" multiplayer tower defense game of today) to be mentioned at the most popular (specialized) tower defense portals around and also be mentioned in general press (however, this is not a "huge" press site but it is an independent one)? Doesn't it count that, if you try to find a more popular mp td still played, there is none? Doesn't it count that it has been used for a long time as a prime example in the german WP's "Tower Defense" article? As far as I am concerned, these are exactly the independent / relevant sources / criteria you request. Please let me know if I got something wrong on this.Dcvm (talk) 19:25, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
  • There has been a bunch of coverage in early days that I am aware of. Some recently. Maybe another point of interest: The game is better known in germany (thats why the coverage is mostly written in german) than in the US or similar because it used to be a project of german students and had been available in german solely for a while. Because of this it initialy spreaded in germany but is available in a variety of languages nowadays. Don't know if this is a valid point, but it has also been a prime example in the german Tower Defense article for a long time (previously named CreepSmash as noted).Dcvm (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment There is no real enclyclopedic content to be lost if it were to be deleted. The article looks like just a self-description of the game by whoever made it or is selling it. North8000 (talk) 21:43, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, more detailed content on the points that have already been prepared would be the first thing to add. However I don't like the idea of the article being deleted for another reason than its contents (that's what I'm trying to make clear for myself) after I invested that much time into it. That's usually the way the german WP works: Someone invests much time and things will be quick-deleted without further notice. For me the article contains just enough information about the game to figure out if it'd be relevant enough for WP or not at this point. Btw: Just because someone, who is somewhat deeper into the topic, created the article, it should not be deleted in general. This is not an advertisement and I am fully aware of WP not being an advertising plattform. I just like the game and in my oppinion it should be included for the reasons noted above.Dcvm (talk) 22:05, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

  • No basis for deletion proposed. Article appears to be sourced and cited, and not a stub. No reason to delete --ProfPolySci45 (talk) 01:23, 11 February 2012 (UTC) (see)
  • The basis for deletion is already given. That isn't how we do things. If you can point to the criteria that it passes, or explain how it passes WP:GNG, then please do. Being sourced isn't enough, they have to be reliable sources not just links to lists. This isn't a vote, it is a discussion. Dennis Brown (talk) 13:44, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Regarding WP:GNG, I'll give it a try (however, you are of course deeper into this topic): "Significant coverage" is not super-extensive but passed, the subject is addressed by the given sources and no original research is needed to extract the content (if I got the OR point right). "Reliable sources" are passed (german WP, independant press, more than well ratings on independent td portals). "Secondary sources" are passed by the variety of tower defense portals and the "reliable sources" mentioned. "Independent of the subject" is passed by the coverage I provided earlier (on the page itself and here9, however not all of the mentioned sources on this discussion page are noteworthy inside the article itself because there is better and more recent information available on non-independent sources like the original website (current game modes for example). In my oppinion it wouldn't make much sense to put something else than the current state there, even it is not documented independently (most software manuals aren't) but can be easily confirmed by every player without an exception. Anything "Presumed" is of course up to you.Dcvm (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Reply Coverage needs to be "significant coverage" and NOT just a passing mention. I think you misunderstood that point. And you make it harder to check the sources when they have stuff like Facebook, primary sources (many times....), and other wikis. NONE of those can be used to establish notability. They *might* sometimes be useful to provide facts, but they don't show it is notable. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, Dennis. The sources I provided are those that I am aware of as of today and in my oppinion they are only just enough to establish notability. In case of the game and the tower wars (which is basically tower defense multiplayer) genre itself I also think that a too restrictive view is not a best practice because it's just a irrefutable fact that CreepTD is an excelent, if not "the" example of multiplayer tower defense and furthermore nearly the only such game played as of today (someone can easily confirm this via a look at Youtube and as mentioned on Facebook), even if it's not sourced via CNN or Times but by other, less commonly known but independent sources. It's right that it's not a broadly known game and a WP entry will not change this, but its gameplay is quite unique among the genre and it is like I already said somewhat the only current example for this sub-type of games, so it should really be considered a notable addition in case of doubt. There is definitively something to learn from the article and I am, as I hope you have noticed, really trying to make it even more informative for someone who wants to get a deeper knowlege about tower defense, especially in a multiplayer environment.

This article seems to be unsourced and unnotable and therefore I hereby propose it for deletion. Go Phightins! (talk) 22:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

  • COMMENT: The article remains unsourced because it currently documents a future football season. As for notability, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu is one of the oldest sports leagues in the nation (even precedes the NFHS). Football teams in the ILH consistently rank in the top 500 in the nation. Notable members of the ILH include Punahou School (largest independent school in the United States), Kamehameha Schools-Kapalama Campus (largest endowment of any secondary school in the United States), Iolani School (4th largest independent school in the United State), and St. Louis School (one of the most successful football programs in the nation). Furthermore because Hawaii lacks any professional sports teams, high school sports (especially football) are very popular among the populace. The ILH football season (and HHSAA football season as a whole) has a following of hundreds of thousands both on Oahu and on the neighbor islands.--Ctoshw (talk) 00:53, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
  • ADDITIONAL COMMENT: I've thought about combining this with the OIA football season or even documenting the entire HHSAA football season as a whole. However, the OIA season alone is a fairly large page. A combined OIA-ILH/HHSAA page would be simply too large to navigate.--Ctoshw (talk) 01:46, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

This article fails WP:BLP1E. The subject is only notable as the perpetrator of the 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting, and unlikely to become notable for anything else. This article, which was created today, essentially duplicates the content of the article about the shooting, which also makes it a content fork.  Sandstein  17:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Funny. First you are copying the content from my article to fill out the article about the 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting and then you are nominating mine to get deleted as it "duplicates the content" you just copied. Very funny. Besides, your article is still incomplete and in several matters simply wrong. So when do you start to act like a WP user who tries to become Knowledge a trustable resource? Several other articles referring to this assassin are already linked to his article and it is a direct translation to the original article about this guy I posted today in the German WP. I am willing to help with your article due to German law system which you got wrong as soon as this ridiculous matter is solved.ArcCan 18:46, 10 February 2012 (CET)
I did not copy any content you wrote. I could hardly have done so, as you created the article about Uka today, by changing it from a redirect, while the article concerning the shooting has already been in existence since March 2011. This can be verified by looking at the history of the article about Uka and about the shooting. If you believe the article about the shooting is deficient, per WP:CFORK, you should attempt to improve it instead of writing another article about the same subject matter.  Sandstein  20:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment. The only problem is that it doesn't really matter if the item actually exists or not. What matters is that you can prove that the food item is notable enough to warrant its own entry. That it exists and is packaged differently than other corned beef products and sliced does not in itself show any sort of notability. To be honest, it's very hard to show notability for the different formats/packaging of foods and that's because they lack reliable sources.

I have not been able to find a single trace of this hockey league, and am wondering whether it actually exists. The article's creator has created at least two other articles which were blatant hoaxes. It is also rather difficult to find any verification for the existence of the teams which are supposedly competing in the league. And finally, the "references" are obviously nonsensical; if the books in question exist at all they are clearly irrelevant to the subject. bonadea contributions talk 16:34, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's definitely possible. A league for teams from the Baltic states is not at all an unlikely thing -- it's just that I'm unable to find any sign of its existence. But I would be more than happy to be proven wrong! --bonadea contributions talk 18:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Small Indian biochemical firm; the article previously claimed to be partnered with Siena Biotech (an Italian firm) and GlaxoSmithKline, but these claims seem to have been either misleading or entirely unsupported by the sources. The one remaining claim of involvement with a major partner is sourced to a press release from the company, which bears an astonishing similarity to this press release from the other Siena Biotech, here, with the names changed; the supposed partner, Omega, didn't issue a press release on their own site, and so I have real doubts about this claim.

If these claims are removed, we have a relatively small firm (revenues of 82M Rs. ~ 1M GPB, 1.5M USD) with no external sources provided to show its importance. The notability guidelines explicitly require significant coverage in secondary sources, and that simply isn't provided here. I've made some efforts to find any, but it's almost impossible to find anything about the firm that doesn't turn out to be discussing the Italian company.

  • Delete I'm the one who removed the false claim. It does appear that this company is attempting to make it appear that it is more important than it is.

  • That press release (issued by the company) is an almost verbatim copy of this press release (PDF), with the partner changed to Omega and the quote sourced to someone at Sienna Biotec India - it still refers to "Verona", even!

  • Keep - Article is notable on its own. The article could be expanded; then more sources could be added. The article is based on reliable, published sources. The number of sources quoted in an article should be sufficient to verify facts on the article. For this short article, the sources are sufficient. Inserting 100 sources of the same nature to verify the same fact is meaningless.

of course you won't find any of them because first they are not published on web, and second all of those books were published in Arabic language & that's merely the translation for titles.. for example: the first book of UAE it's called in Arabic "دولة الامارات العربية المتحدة : التاريخ والتطور" and here a copy of it in th public library of Jordan university : http://hip.jopuls.org.jo/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=PUB.1010.1&p_p_id=search_WAR_fusion&p_p_action=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_pos=0&p_p_col_count=2&_search_WAR_fusion_action=navigate&_search_WAR_fusion_navigationData=search~%3D1~!TL~!1~!%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%A9+%3A+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE+%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%2F same thing for the rest of books, this is just a translation for the titles, I think I should add a notice about this in the article.الوقائع الدولية

I'm afraid you have missed the point. The idea is not that we need to find copies of the books published on the internet, but that we need to find substantial material written about them. That does not have to be on the internet either, but usually a notable contemporary author of notable books would be mentioned somewhere on the internet other than Knowledge. However, I have also searched for the Arabic title that you have quoted. I got all of five hits: three blogs, a listing in a catalogue search page, and a mirror of Knowledge's articles for deletion log, showing this page. It therefore looks as though the issue of Arabic titles against English translated titles is not relevant: whichever we search for, we don't find anything that indicates notability.

There is broad, but not universal, consensus that certain kinds of topics (e.g. villages and towns) are always notable, but there is less consensus as to what this means in terms of the GNG. Are such topics notable because multiple, independent, reliable sources are virtually certain to exist even if only off-line, or should our coverage of certain topics be comprehensive even in the absence of sources that meet the GNG definition of notability (While noting that verifiability is an irreducible criterion for inclusion)? In any event, this article meets the community standard as an accredited tertiary educational institution. The consensus below is that it is not a fraudulent "degree-mill" but a "real college" and that that is enough to justify retention. Eluchil404 (talk) 09:42, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Nothing is "inherently notable", it all has to meet WP:GNG. Now for high schools and upwards we have a general assumption that such establishements will be notable, but that's still not beyond challenge. In this case we have no hard sourcing that the place exists as a real school or institute, just one self-published source.

  • Delete - I find it difficult to reconcile those subjects which have inherent notability from the clear statements in Wikipedias notability guidelines. Why Colleges, schools, Bishops, Professors should all enjoy this automatic elevation to notability does not seem , to me at least, justifiable. This one in particular is neither referenced and is barely a stub.  Velella  20:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I can understand it for bishops - a bishop is an appointed candidate to a see, and that long-established see will be notable. There are similar aspects to some professorial chairs. However a "college" these days often means no more than a brass plate on the door and a dubious, if not downright fraudulent, self-appointed claim to now be a "college". Although I would even agree that all "real colleges" are notable (such a college has been made notable by its required recognition from its degree-awarding body), there are far too many "fake colleges" around to take a college's own word for its bona fides. We need, as per general WP requirement, some reliable 3rd party sourcing. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:13, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

A subject with such a concentration of local coverage is going to bring out some extra notability scrutiny. I still think this subject has meet WP:GNG.--RadioFan (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Alongside Phillip Drummond (character), Arnold Jackson (character), Willis Jackson (character) these articles should either be deleted or merged. The actors who portray the characters are be notable, but there is insufficient that there is enough third person information to justify an article for the characters they portrayed. If enough analysis from books or newspaper articles which talk about the characters NOT the actors who portray them can be found I would be willing to withdrawn my nomination.

  • "Using WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as to whether an article should be kept or deleted is not a valid argument." WRONG. Did I not tell you not to make that argument? As the cited essay says "It would be ridiculous to consider deleting an article on Yoda or Mace Windu, for instance. If someone were, as part of their reasoning for keep, to say that every other main character in Star Wars has an article, this may well be a valid point. In this manner, using an "Other Stuff Exists" angle provides for consistency." I am very concerned that you do not understand OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. So, instead of telling me to find sources, please outline how you followed WP:BEFORE before making your nominations.--Milowent • 03:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge Though we do not follow precedent exactly, consistency is a desirable goal. (Even consistency in a direction one might not prefer is better than random inclusion). This character is not Yoda, a key character in a famous fiction, but neither is she an insignificant character in a fiction that is only borderline notable.The compromise position for such cases is merging; there is no reason to completely remove the information, as it is reasonable that someone might look here for the identification of any named character in a well-known work.

  • Keep - There is indeed a way to tell — this is a list of union organizers, to which somebody wrongly added Obama.

The article fails to establish notability. Most importantly, it's become so much of a hotbed for bias, attack and otherwise non-neutral edits and remarks that, at this point, it can't possibly hope to satisfy WP:NPOV. I am also certain at least one person is using sockpuppets for further their agenda, as I've seen at least two nondescript IP addresses making edits on this article and American Family Association‎, where this article originally redirected to. All in all, this article is a complete mess and should be restricted from being edited again at least until the publicity from Ellen DeGeneres dies down. ☆ Antoshi ☆ 03:41, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't help that the only sources on the articles are all links to facebook, twitter, and a MP3 upload site- in other words, not a single one of them is usable to show notability. You can only use primary sources if there's multiple independent and reliable sources to back up the claims and when there's no sources.... well, it's a pretty obvious delete. I would recommend that you also add the articles DropZERO Games and DropZERO Florida. They were added by the same user and lacks sources to show how they're notable.

The result was keep. There is some disagreement as to the reason to keep. Some editors believe this topic passes WP:NONPROFIT, albeit barely perhaps. Others make an WP:IAR argument that denominations of this scope are inherently notable, regardless of whether there is evidence that they meet the usual guidelines. But in any case, the consensus is clearly to keep. Rlendog (talk) 18:57, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Can't find sources to support conclusion this meets WP:ORG. Zero gNews archive hits and only directory information in an handful of gBooks hits indicates this small organization founded in 1997 (according to the article and its website) fails the significant coverage aspect of ORG/N. Maybe sources meeting the usual standard for depth of coverage are out there somewhere, but they are not cited in the article and I can't find them. Novaseminary (talk) 04:32, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment How can you claim that all denominations are notable, no matter how small or inconsequential? Is this based on any policy or guideline (which represent the combined consensus of the community, of course)? To my mind, that statement turns N and ORG on their respective heads. Even if listed in handbooks of denominations (without any more depth of coverage than a directory listing) how does that meet the substantial part of substantial coverage? How does the other single, bare ”mention” you noted above? (And this group doesn't even claim to be a denomination anyway, just an association). Novaseminary (talk) 21:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
  • The ref you added is another one-sentence bare mention. So we now have two bare mentions and a directory. Would any org that gets 23 gBook hits (many of which are WP rip-offs, one which is a directory, and two one sentence mentions) meet ORG? Are we abandoning the substantial part of the coverage required for N/ORG/NONPROFIT? ”Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability” says WP:CORPDEPTH. Novaseminary (talk) 14:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
  • WP:NONPROFIT says "Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: (1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale; (2) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources." This is clearly met by a denomination whose scope is the US as a whole and which appears in multiple book and news references. -- 202.124.74.39 (talk) 21:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
But non third-party sources don't confirm anything about their activities, other than their creation in 1997. Also, keep in mind that NONPROFIT is part of ORG. And the one mention you added was just removed by St.Anselm for failing WP:SPS. We are back to the Handbook directory info and one very minor mention. Novaseminary (talk) 22:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
The remaining book source says that they are a Reformed Baptist church, and expands on what those words mean, the CT news snippet says that they have the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) as a doctrinal standard. That already tells us a great deal about their activities. I see WP:NONPROFIT being clearly satisfied. -- 202.124.73.188 (talk) 23:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Wait a moment, I don't think you're reading WP:NONPROFIT correctly. It suggests notability with nationwide scope AND verifiable information. Now, a PTA is never going to have nationwide scope (though it might be notable under other guidelines). But the guideline says nothing about the depth of the coverage - it merely says "Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources." That is clearly the case here. StAnselm (talk) 04:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
I would agree with StAnselm. There are also other news articles associated with individual churches joining the ARBCA. -- 202.124.73.9 (talk) 05:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
But we have no third-party reliable source confirmation of any activity that the group engages in, let alone third-party coverage confirmaing that the "scope of their activities is national" as NONPROFIT calls for. That members exist in various places within a nation (and we have no third party confirmation of that, either) does not mean their activities are of a national scope. Novaseminary (talk) 06:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Is this a joke? They are a church denomination. They hold church services (of a specific Reformed Baptist type). We have third party confirmation of that. They include 70+ individual churches across the USA (the individual churches may or may not be notable on their own). We have third party confirmation (Christianity Today) that the initial 24 ARBCA churches were "from around the country" and I see no grounds for doubting the more detailed list of addresses across the USA on the ARBCA web site. They are certainly national. -- 202.124.74.36 (talk) 07:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
They (meaning this organization) do not hold church services. The organization's members (which, per the website are entirely autonomous) hold church services. I don't see third-party sources that indicate what this organization actually does as an organization, especially that is of national scope, even if we know who its members are. Not every organization with members from around the country conducts activities of a national scope. Novaseminary (talk) 22:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Did you really mean to Wikilink to WP:V above?  WP:V verifiable material includes more than "third-party sources".  So, no, IMO what you've cited is not the standard.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
The threshold for inclusion is WP:V verifiability.  The next step to inclusion is prominence—Knowledge editors have built a consensus that all denominations (meaning only those that are WP:V verifiable) have sufficient prominence to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia.  Whether or not that inclusion requires a stand-alone article is a detail, but it is a detail that means that there is no case in which we want to delete a redirect for lack of notability...and that bringing denominations to AfD to challenge notability is a diversion of editorial resources.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment - The relisting rationale is weak. If consensus is to keep because a topic and its treatment is encyclopedic, as is clearly the case here, that should be sufficient under WP:IAR. There is no mandate that an inferior Notability Guideline should trump the Policy (higher level law) of IAR. Carrite (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep under WP:IAR. Clearly an encyclopedic topic, treated encyclopedically. This belongs in Knowledge. There is no mandate that we parse the universe for so-called "reliable independent sources" for things that should be kept on a per se basis, as is the case here, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 03:41, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. I am amazed that an AfD with six "keep" notes and no delete votes can be relisted. I think this is a serious waste of people's time. AfDs are understaffed enough as it is. StAnselm (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment - But WP:IAR assumes some sort of reasoned analysis as to why particular policy or guidelines should be disregarded (the reason "a rule prevents you from improving" WP). "Clearly encyclopedic" begs the question and is not such a reason (might as well say "keep it just because" or "useful"). Nobody has explained why denominations should be per se notable regardless of coverage or why we should have WP articles about any org with such scant coverage. And a majority vote (WP:NOTAVOTE) isn't sufficient for an IAR jusitification either. Now, at least some have argued this particular org meets WP:NONPROFIT, but for reasons given above I don't think so and that ignores the lack of substantial coverage in any case. Novaseminary (talk) 04:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. Several editors !voted keep on the basis of the specific guidelines in WP:NONPROFIT, and explained quite clearly how the two parts of that guideline were satisfied (for example, because of the 3rd party sources cited in the article, one of which – the Encyclopedia of American Religions – provides substantial coverage). And apart from the nom, every !vote has been "keep." -- 202.124.74.18 (talk) 06:09, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. Several other editors who used the term "encyclopedic" presumably mean that Knowledge should subsume the content of subject-specific encyclopaedias. Since encyclopaedias of religion cover denominations (e.g. the Encyclopedia of American Religions, cited in the article), so should Knowledge. -- 202.124.74.18 (talk) 06:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Alongside Kimberly Drummond (character), Arnold Jackson (character), Willis Jackson (character) these articles should either be deleted or merged. The actors who portray the characters are be notable, but there is insufficient that there is enough third person information to justify an article for the characters they portrayed. If enough analysis from books or newspaper articles which talk about the characters NOT the actors who portray them can be found I would be willing to withdrawn my nomination.

  • merge Though we do not follow precedent exactly, consistency is a desirable goal. (Even consistency in a direction one might not prefer is better than random inclusion). This character is not Yoda, a key character in a famous fiction, but neither is she an insignificant character in a fiction that is only borderline notable.The compromise position for such cases is merging; there is no reason to completely remove the information, as it is reasonable that someone might look here for the identification of any named character in a well-known work.

  • Here is a two year old example from 2010, the product was included in DCIG's buyer's guide which is a leading publication in this business http://dcigbuyersguides.com/2011-virtual-server-backup-software-buyers-guide/ The thing is that the publication is not open to the public you need to pay for it. This publication is read by pretty much everyone in the business Papadopoulossav (talk) 22:03, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
  • To keep it short for you: I am not going to spend the entire evening explaining to you the significance of the word notable. Notable means 'worthy of notice' and the section WP:B2B#Trade publications and awards aren't good enough you referenced is an opinion that lacks scientific and academic background. The statement "being of interest to the general public is what counts for notability, though" is non-sense. The general public doesn't give a damn about most of what you read in Knowledge. It's all niche to some point. Further down it says "General Motors Co. don't have to explain to the outside world what they make". Hello? Ask people in Africa and Europe if they know GE, I bet you won't find many. So what makes something notable to you doesn't necessarily apply to others. If you knew anything about our industry you wouldn't be questioning the notability of BackupChain.

In-depth reviews are usually written by bloggers who have been hired to publish whatever the company wants to have presented to the public. These "in-depth" reviews neither add to notability nor do they demonstrate public interest in the product. You can spend $1M and get a whole bunch of magazines write about you. Does it mean anyone cares? I suspect you have been hired by a competitor to instigate such claims against the product. Papadopoulossav (talk) 22:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm from Europe and I know both General Motors and GE, and even know the difference between them. What am I doing wrong? And most of people I know also know these brands, and also don't know yours. How do you think, is it because I'm hired by your opponents to clear their minds every evening, or simply because your product isn't notable? Actually you replied yourself: "If you wouldn't be questioning the notability of BackupChain." — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

The result was Delete. When considered together with the previous AfD there is a rough consensus of policy-based comments to delete the article. No evidence has been cited that civil servants of his level are generally considered notable on Knowledge in the absence of sources nor has coverage sufficient to support notability been shown.

A first AfD was just closed after it failed to get quorum. The closing admin said that he "felt the delete arguments were stronger" but declined to delete the article given the low participation. He suggested re-nominating the article. So here goes.

My initial rationale still stands: this individual fails WP:BIO. He was an Afghan civil servant with a high position in the Ministry of Commerce (President of International Trade). This means that his name pops up from time to time but I have failed to find specific substantial coverage in sources using the Latin alphabet. The so-called references currently in the article are only able to confirm his job or his presence as one of tens of participants to this or that meeting. The rest of the content cannot be confirmed using reliable sources. For instance, the first reference in the article is this simple list of participants to a meeting but is used to assert that "He was able to hold office throughout this period thanks to his professional skills and the good relations that he built with his international collaborators.".

  • KEEP/RENAME: Searching for simply "Azim Wardak" yielded almost no results. However, the persons name is actually "Mohammad Azim Wardak." Searching this corrected name will get many more hits. I suggest we rename the article to "Mohammad Azim Wardak." Here are some links I've found concerning him:

UN publication confirming Wardak as the President of Foreign Trade of Afghanistan
Article by the IWPR which include comments by Wardak regarding sanctions against Iran

It is just incorrect citation/research on the part of the page creator. I suggest simply renaming the page and fixing other applicable areas. No harm done.--Ctoshw (talk) 01:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

These are not new and at the risk of stating the obvious, all Google searches for "Mohammad Azim Wardak" will include the results for "Azim Wardak". In fact both links you give are currently used in the article. They only provide incidental coverage, not significant coverage that (to quote WP:GNG) address the subject directly in detail". It is common for spokespeople of companies and high-ranked civil servants to be quoted in the media. That does not make them notable under our criteria. Pichpich (talk) 01:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep. Senior civil servants are notable. People in countries such as Afghanistan are unlikely to have such great coverage as people in similar positions in America or Western Europe. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
    • I don't see this pronouncement supported in any guideline or policy. I humbly suggest that this is because most of the resulting biographies would be impossible to source properly, even for 95% of the corresponding civil servants in the Western World. Mr. Wardak is a good example: if we stick to stuff we can actually verify, this will be a two-line stub with no future. There's no getting around the fact that he fails WP:GNG. Pichpich (talk) 16:41, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
      • Opinions are still valid on AfDs you know. We don't all feel the need to prove how incredibly clever we are by quoting guidelines at every opportunity. But if you insist, here are a couple: WP:BURO and WP:IAR. Of course senior civil servants are notable. Yes, that's an opinion. It doesn't make it invalid. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:21, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
        • It's important to discuss things in relation to policies and guidelines: it's what keeps the whole process mildly dysfunctional instead of chaotic beyond all use. I don't feel smart when I quote a relevant piece of policy, I just feel like I'm establishing a necessary basis for discussion. Pichpich (talk) 21:31, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - the individual is a senior civil servant. Senior civil servants can be notable. But that needs to be established with coverage about the individual. What I see is insignificant coverage where he is being quoted; essentially a spokesperson. -- Whpq (talk) 18:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete as no links of significant coverage have been proven to establish the notability of this person. 98.28.12.216 (talk) 14:07, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
